I think the closest they ever got was Asterix Conquers America, sadly. That said, it did have one thing going for it, though who'd have thought Lister would make a good Asterix?

I found the French Asterix movies with Gerard Depardieu funny and enjoyable (well, the first two, haven't seen the third one). Granted, they're not 'AWESOME CLASSICS!', but I remember re-watching them a few times.

Although, I saw them in Russian and haven't seen the English translations, so... maybe the English versions suck, that could happen.

The French talk really, really quickly, so the English dub has everyone speaking their lines really fast. It does a surprisingly large amount to draw you out of the experience when you can't relax and just watch the thing, since you have to be really paying attention in order to understand everything.

Also, the third one - Olympic Games - was kinda meh.

Watched Taken with Liam Neeson. I'm used to the fact that 90 minute movies are usually animated features or comedies or something like that... so I was sceptical at first, 'A 90 minutes action movie? Hm...' But holy hell, was it intense! I mean... it was MORE than intense, I literally couldn't move. So, yeah... it's some awesome intense action and I enjoyed the experience. Will I ever rewatch it? ... I don't think so. Maybe in 20 years when I will have my own 17-years old daughter Just in case.

The "Twin Peaks" pilot movie.
What the hell did I just watch there? 90 minutes of meh that should have been 60 minutes max. But I want to torture myself with the whole series so why not start with the pilot...
Might have been better if there would have been better music (main theme was alright but throughout the whole thing "Laura's Theme" played almost all the time and that has to be one of the most boring pieces of music I ever heard. 4/10

Best Worst Movie
9/10

A wonderful documentary revolving around the "best worst movie" ever made; 'Troll 2'. It's funny, sad, intriguing and poignant in equal measures. Essentially it's the bad filmmakers equivalent of 'The King of Kong'.

Essential viewing.

"A Midwinter's Tale". 10/10

So, to get this movie, I imported the DVD from the US, not cheap. No subtitles, no additional languages, no animated menus ("WB archive collection"). It was a great purchase nonetheless.

I'm not particularly one for Branagh's Shakespeare film adaptations. But this movie, presented in black and white in 1995, treats Shakespeare right. A motley actor crew, each with their own traits and problems (among them unemployed, suicidal, alcoholic, uncreative, unstable, selfish, overwhelmed and plain weird) come together in a not-too attractive church to rehearse, play and live Hamlet. At Christmas.

Apart from very few city/landscape scenes, this scenario is almost treated as a play as well. Most scenes play out in the church, and the rehearsals are great fun to watch.

I want a proper Blu Ray of this movie... fat chance.

Cabin in the Woods - 9/10

This movie is extremely good. If you walk in understanding that you're about to watch a film which is a meta-narrative about horror film, I don't think you'll be disappointed. This movie has some really big ideas and it executes them brilliantly.

The Raid: Redemption - 8/10

If you distilled The Raid into its core parts, you would find the perfect action movie pacing in there. The film often feels less like a narrative than it is a dissertation on perfect action film pacing. This is not an overtly intellectual film, that is, the intelligence and artistry of this film does not come from a deep and thoughtful screenplay or dramatic character development. Rather, this is a movie which utilizes the bare bones requirements of an action film and creates something with an amazing pace and strength that really should be seen.

If you like good movies with acting and a well written story then avoid this! Its slow boring it makes up the characters skills as it goes along (IE the guy with glasses can hack the police data base from a very old computer because he is a nerd.)

The main actress is way older then the character and the producers daughter. And the other producer is an ex EastEnders villian. Also the most anticlimatic ending ever. Ray Winston's charecter who has no relation to the main cast other then one scene shoots the bad guy b4 he can kill Elfie. Then disperses.. 0/any number.

Hulk. 5/10

It's a mess, frankly. A bizarre script with terrible dialogue, bizarre direction and lacklustre acting, the only real highlights are the somewhat impressive CGI, but even those scenes aren't particularly exiting. It's a slog to get to that through, this film. A real slog.

And that ending is just stupid.

Hey, what a coincidence-

The Incredible Hulk - 4/11

Wanna know why? This.

I didn't know Marvel approved Gmod as a tool for CGI-ing characters in this movie.

While neither were great movies, I don't think I could score The Incredible Hulk lower than Hulk. Personally, I would give Hulk a 3. I'm sorry but it was garbage, I would go as far as to say it might be the worst Marvel movie ever. Incredible, I'd give a 5. It was...okay. I liked the cast and that might have saved it from getting a 3 as well.

I think Punisher: War Zone is worse. It IS close though.
