i gets me a real hankerin fer a christian bale movie ever now an agin. he gots him a way, if you gnome sane. he doan allus play him a fancypants rich man, no sir. sometimes he plays him that unlikely anti-hero archetype.
out of the furnace tells a real simple story, but they done complexed it up wit a bunch a winder dressin. coulda cut half the screen time if they cut some of the fat. overall, i wanted tur like it. it were beautifully shot, acted, and musicked. if only that story been done cleaner.
out of the furnace gets three winder dressins. this should be taken as testerment to their acting and cinnamertogrify.

dead man down
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2101341
dead man down was a pretty ok movie about revenge. it was a solid film, if not outstanding in any way. i had mixed feelings about most parts. for example, i liked how he adjusted his plan when it went bad, but not so much how he basically turned into super action hero man. the neighbor's revenge fixation was a nice counterpoint, but she was a bit one-dimensional. dimension and a half, maybe. could have done with more.
dead man down gets three dead men down.

double dragon
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106761
double dragon is one of the movies that they are talking about when they say that movie adaptations of video games are all horrible. it was basically on par with the super mario brothers movie. they did not even get the fighting parts right. honestly. the person you have in the role of the martial arts master should at least be able to kick above the level of her knees. it was bad enough to make me feel alive again, though to be fair, the main feeling was a kind of revulsion that i could frankly have done without. or perhaps feeling alive is overrated. better to be dead inside, and thus immune to this filth that rots us away from the inside. lo, i am become ripe with disease, covered over in sores and maggot-filled.

olympus has fallen
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2302755/
if you love god and murica, then this is the movie for you. though if i were you, i would be really mad that the muricans were portrayed as such wimps. also, what idiot designs a system for detonating all the nukes without even requiring them to be armed first? so it seems to have portrayed them as stupid, too. and ugly. oddly, it did *not* portray them as obese, which i would have thought to be the easy one.
olympus has fallen gets one one-headed dog.
