Classic Review: "Body of Lies", 2008 (Mike)

"Body of Lies", 2008

 Leonardo has a bad beard. Russell Crowe is fat. The CIA does some
stuff. Mike learns to just say "No' if Mary's mom asks if they want to
borrow a movie she rented ("It's intense!")

Watched while violently consuming a bottle of sake.

Here, this should make up for all this:

"Ace in the Hole", 1951 (Mike)

"Ace in the Hole", 1951 No, my first film is not gay porn starring some guy named Ace. Billy Wilder. Kurt Douglas plays an ego-maniacal newspaper reporter that "discovers" a human-interest story with some guy who is stuck in a collapsed mine. Good ol' Kurt decides to keep the guy in the hole so he can create more hype around the story. Off the wall and a great comment on even today's media-crazed world. Try it out and let me know. Film was watched consuming the wonderful El Toro Golden Ale. Originally written March 14th, 2009

WELCOME ya bastard. Now sit down and read.

The review rules were and are simple: Watch a movie, the more obscure the better, with a beer or at least some sort of caffeinated beverage. Review said movie. I love these little rambles and hope to add more in the future. Until then, trusty follower, read and be merry for you are a bastard and that's all there is to it. Mike

“Mandy” 2018 (Mike)

By
So, I finally got around to watching “Mandy”. I left the film thinking it was beautiful and fresh and something pretty new (at least in style). However, like the descent into hell that Nicolas Cage endeavours, the closer you look the more messy it seemed to get. . First impression, this film is metal. as. fuuuuuuuuck. I’ve seen Heavy Metal. I’ve seen Beastmaster. I’ve seen Conan. I’ve seen Valhalla Rising. I’ve seen Faces of Death. But, I don’t think any of those hold a black candle to the fucking way this movie rocks. Forging chrome axes. Hellscapes draped of craggy mountains, backed by twin mooned planets straight off a Yes album cover. Red light that would make Argento blush. You just want to crush beers and finger wicked riffs. You want to fucking slay beasts and busty women alike. I was very impressed how it seemed to just wade in these dark waters so effortlessly. I’ve never totally bought in to the recent Nick Cage fanboy lovefest. However, I thought he played h
