Shoot Em Up

Very silly, kind of entertaining action movie. As described by title.

King of Kong

Fun movie about competitive video game playing (mainly King Kong).

Given up writing longish reviews here, obviously -- but whatever, this is just a record for myself :')

30 Days of Night

Pretty good vampire movie. Better than Daywatch, at least.

Daywatch

A Russian vampire movie, or something.

An abomination.

I saw Nightwatch a few years back, and don't think it was this bad.

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Le Diner de Cons

A French comedy. A group of upperclass snobs organize regular dinners in which they compete to see who can bring along the biggest 'idiot' as a guest. The movie tells the story of how one such idiot guest attempts to assist his host win back his wife.

Surprisingly funny movie, mainly because of the idiot, played by the late Jacques Villeret. The actor has a hilariously elastic face, and really delivered a funny performance. Villeret apparently passed away in early 2005; I will have to track down some of his other performances.

Prick of a host. Funny idiot guest. Funny taxman, undeserving of his fate. Stupid friend -- the guy stole and married your wife, why are you helping him get her back? Sheesh, the French...

The Longest Nite

A Hong Kong gangster movie focusing on the troubles of an especially dirty cop.

Good: Cool bald villain, cool Tony Leung. Fun 80s synth soundtrack. Short running time (good for my ADD). Neon streets of Hong Kong.

Bad: Silly punching sound effects. Subtitles that disappear from the screen way, way too quickly. Confusing story (made all the harder to keep straight by the aforementioned fleeting subtitles).

Watch for: the cool bald guy putting his head to good use in the car. Oh, and of course, the vomiting woman getting punched repeatedly in the face.

Unanswered question: Why is Nite spelled wrong in the movie title?
