I had a few days off from work so I had time to catch up on my movie backlog that has literally been piling up on my desk.
The new Godzilla movie was actually pretty sweet. They had cool monster action scenes, an epic version of the King of Monsters himself, a pretty sweet adversary for him and even the human scenes were interesting to follow. One of the better Godzilla movies I have seen, definitely. It was no Final Wars but a good movie in its own right.
Next I watched Silent Hill: Revelation. It was an okay film, had pretty faithful characters (though obviously alternate versions of them), the whole Silent Hill lore was explored pretty nicely and the story from the first film was tied in well. I loved the scene in the asylum with the nurses and lold when Heather popped her head from behind the gurney (this scene was also in one of the trailers). Lots of fan service there too, the ending was just amazing.
Captain America: Winter Soldier. I didn't really get into the first movie. It was okay but nothing to write home about and absolutely nothing compared to the awesome Thor movie that came out about the same time. Winter Soldier, however, was the movie I was expecting the first film to be like. Great action and just an overall great movie, though at points when all the mayhem was going on in the city I couldn't help but wonder where the hell all the actual authorities were.
And finally, just before writing this, I watched ABCs of Death. I'm not sure if what I watched was horror, comedy, snuff or porn. Nazi symbolism, rape, animal abuse, ruthless random murder, child death and the occasional feces. There was even a scene entirely about farting. I could mention the full frontal nudity but after everything else it kind of drowns in the madness. Half the time I was laughing my ass off to the sheer absurdity of the movie and the other half I tried my best not to vomit. The fact that the bluray of this that I bought was being sold with the same low price as the DVD should've been warning enough but oh well. Still wasn't a bad movie, just really, really weird. To get a general idea of this movie, just search for "Z is for Zetsumetsu". Just a reminder, it's NSFW.
Oh yeah, and 3,000th post! Woo!
