The Beat My Heart Skipped



Thomas Seyer (Romain Duris) is on the path to become a carbon copy of his scumbag real estate dealing father Robert Seyer (Niels Arestrup). A lucky meeting provokes Thomas to dive back into his piano play, stringing him along a different path. By the end of this film, you’ll be tapping along to the beat of this sexy bad French prick.

I Am Love

It makes sense that in real life Tilda Swinton lives in a castle.  I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this castle is a teleport for beautiful androginous immortal aliens that have perfected acting. In the film, Swinton plays a native Russian married into a wealthy Italian family - surrounded by lovely children, family and things. All seems well until new relationships help her uncover her true passions.

Ghost Writer


Ewan is lovely and does a great job as usual. Polanski directed film has the classic sleekness and style of 50s/60s political thrillers.

Tron: Legacy (3D)


I'm very good friends with Valtron (AKA Tron) who plays for the Rat City Roller Girls Derby Team. She kicks ass and so does this movie. Highlights: Grid racing/battle scenes, soundtrack by Daft Punk (and cameo appearance), Jeff Bridges, Michael Sheen as glamorous and wicked nightclub owner, Olivia Wilde and Garret Hedlund. My only nit is that all the grid chatter slows things down too much at times.

Vahalla Rising

Pagans and Slaves and Christian Crusaders.  Brutal bloody fights. Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Clash of Titans) plays a silent one-eyed warrior led by crimson visions. Any space left due to lack of dialogue is filled with gorgeous cinematography and an archaic and gritty sounding score.

Greenberg


Ben Stiller does a good job playing a total head case. Supporting cast is also very good. James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem kicks out the soundtrack.

Kick Ass


I gave this a four instead of a five because although I appreciate superheroes and comics I don't get all moist about them like a lot of other people. Anyways - well done film about a high school nerd becoming a superhero and fighting a bunch of gangsters.

The Vicious Kind


Adam Scott will be a recognized name in Hollywood soon. Not sure about the plot of this movie but Scott really keeps you watching.

DOUBLE FEATURE!!!
Happy New Year



I can't believe they even considering re-doing this in English. OK, maybe I can. This Swedish film kicks so much ass.

This one is almost as good as the first. I’m looking forward to the final movie.
