"Negotiation's over. Sentence is death."

I actually used Random.org to decide what movie to watch. ... Okay, I didn't watch the first two it suggested, but then it landed on Dredd and I was like... what the hell.

The movie was ... sort of like my movie taste made into one movie. (Other movies like that are Kick-Ass, Repo Men and Looper.) It was extremely violent, but it doesn't bother me. In fact I really love violence in the movies. Also, the plot was pretty interesting, and not ruined with romantic subplot, even though I had to fear for that.

Karl Urban was magnificent. I think we didn't see his face at all, but I don't mind, he was still pretty good. But I don't know if I can same the same about Judge Dredd. I'm not sure if I like him or not. I think I can't decide anything after one movie, but I don't know what else there is to watch. Except well, apparently there has been another version of this where Stallone played Dredd. I'm not sure if I'm interested enough to watch that.

Another thing, Rookie Anderson was a psychic. That was great, especially the moment when she was inside Kay's head. But the fact that she was a moment made me pause the movie because I needed a moment. Okay, it's stupid to think that mutants with supernatural powers are exclusively X-men stuff, but still. I'm used to the idea that if there's a post-apocalyptic world, or a world anything like the world in Dredd, the mutants are something that is bad, like zombies, and stuff. But I guess this thing in Dredd wasn't too bad. 

[Because come on, there's a TV series about with superpowers, who are mutants. Show is called Mutant X. Seriously.]

But Dredd was amazing. Definitely going to watch it again. 

"But are you one-tenth as pissed off as I am?"

My feelings about Ultraviolet are very complicated.

On the other hand the plot was very interesting, it was a disease that gave some people their superhuman abilities. And on the other hand, there was vampires, which have become very lame. Also some really crappy ass graphics and effects.

The idea about a child being a weapon against... well, whatever he was made for... It's used before. In a movie made the same year, and the kid in both movies was played by the same actor. What the fuck? So yeah, Ultraviolet was a bit similiar to X-Men: Last Stand, and also it reminded me a lot of Kill Bill. 

I have no idea what's the main opinion on Violet, but I think she was a good character. She had both strenght and weakness. She kicked ass. I like her.

Sometimes you are so sure about the ending. Sometimes you just know how it's going to end. And sometimes movie fucks you up really hard because of that.

I always wanted to see Repo Men. It was so close last night, that I would've watched Looper or something I had already seen. I am so glad I watched  this one. This is probably one of my favourites now. I thought I could later (hope it's days later and not just later today) a post like I did for Looper here. This movie deserves a post like that.

Anyway, I hope the quote I used gives you a perfect idea of the movie. In the future, you can buy enhanced organs. They can pay for it right away, or in parts, with an interest of course. But if they fall behind really badly, repomen are sent after them. But then, the main character David (played by Amazing Jude Law), has an accident at work, and his heart gets, well, destroyed, if we can believe what his boss says. And when he was unconscious, they installed an enhanced heart in him, and now he is in the same shit as everyone he ever killed for the organs. And he can't do his job any more, because now he's one of them, and since he has no job, he can't pay for the heart. So you can just assume what happens then - he has to run away from it all.

I loved many things about this movie. I loved the plot, I loved how graphic the movie was, but not too much. Yes, I'm a sick person for enjoying violence in the movies, but I don't know. I just love it. I loved the music, which was composed by Marco Beltrami, who has composed the music for Wolverine! One of my favourite composers then.

But what I loved most in this movie was the ending. Like in Looper, it really fucked up your mind. But I can't say anything else about it. But the movie was really awesome, just watch it. Watch it and let your mind blow for once.

"What I'd like to know is how you rob a bank without opening any doors."

I've also wanted to watch Jumper for so long. I don't even know where I first learned about it. Maybe it was on a poster of a magazine or some shit like that. But yeah, I love the idea of teleporting, it's one of the many superpowers I'd like to have.

So yeah, that's the idea of the movie - the main character is a jumper, he can teleport. He thinks he's the only one, but it's not like that. And further more, there are people, paladins, who want to kill jumpers. 

I liked many things about this movie. I liked the main character, and his actor. Mostly because I've watched a lot of action movies, but I've never seen him before. I don't know, if he's that famous, or I'm just uneducated cunt, but yeah, anyway. Also, it was my first time to see Samuel L. Jackson as a bad guy. (Pulp Fiction doesn't count.) I'm pretty sure I'm going to see this movie again a few times, it was really awesome.

Also, the movie was based on the book! Should I probably ruin the movie and read the book, what do you guys think?

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"

I'm pretty sure this movie is a some sort of classic, but still, I hadn't seen it before. But then again, there are so many movies which I haven't seen, but I should've. Like Lord of the Ring -movies. But let's not go there. Let's talk about Princess Bride.

The plot wasn't anything special, and changed through the movie, I mean first it's this, then after this it's that. You can't explain the plot easily, unless you give something away. Also, got to love those tacky effects and music. My dad came in while I was watching this and he said it looks like a B-movie. Well, what do you expect, it's made in the 80s. 

But also, the movie was sort of amazing. Not in the way that it becomes your favourite and your whole life revolves around it. No, it was amazing in the way that it was somehow sweet movie - sweet and funny. Every part of it. Especially the parts where the grandfather was telling this story for his grandson. ("Is this a kissing book?") Also now I can recognise so many references. Seriously, that's the greatest part of seeing a popular film. Same goes with Mean Girls.

"I like to ride. Fixed gear. No brakes. Can't stop. Don't want to, either."

You think the scenes where people are driving cars recklessly, chasing someone or fleeing from someone, are intense? Wait until you see Premium Rush! There's nothing more intense than riding a bike! Don't believe me?

Riding a bike is way more physical than driving a car, so when people are scorching down the road, it's not very challenging for them - physically. Riding a bike is totally different, and way more intense, especially when they are chased by someone, who is driving a car! 

I really liked Premium Rush. It was really, really... intense. I was sitting on the edge of my chair whole time and being like "shit oh shit oh shit oh shit". And you know, when usually people are running out of time in a movie, and you just think "Of course they are going to make it!", here you don't think like that. You are so certain they are gonna fall over or something like that. And that keeps you tense for the whole 1,5 hours.

Also, the movie had the best kind of a bad guy: a white, male cop. Because whenever a cop is the bad guy, it's really mind blowing. Because you're supposed to trust police officers, they are supposed to be the good guy, but when it's not so, it's really weird. But seriously, are cops just good people, not having any problems in their life? Nope. 

I'm definitely going to watch this movie again, and again! I think it's gonna be rated really high when the year ends, and I'm giving out ratings for the movies. 

"Stupid child. I already saw how you die." "Then you know it's not here, and it's not today."

I've wanted to see Push ever since I saw it's trailer in... probably 2009. Woah. Anyway, even before I saw this movie, it gave me inspiration for a story that I later found terribly clichéd and I wanted to rip everything I had created into pieces. Which was impossible, since all the text was on my computer, so I could only delete it.

The whole movie sort of reminded me of another movie I've seen... Think about this: Main character being a loner, suddenly visited by a girl who sees the future and uses cool clothes. Most characters have different abilities. Story takes place in the east (here China, the other one is in Japan) and also, Hal Yamanouchi in both movies. Basically, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just go to Yamanouchi's IMDb page, and you'll see.

Anyway, I liked this movie a lot. Maybe it was clichéd, but I'm willing to overlook that. I mean it's hard to make a movie that's not a cliché, but still. Push was amazing. I don't know if it was as good as I expected, since I can't remember what I expected four years ago, but it was really good. 

One thing that I liked was that Nick, the main character, played by Chris Evans, wasn't especially good with his telekinetic abilities. I mean he was "second generation Mover", whatever that means, I mean actually, so he wasn't so good. But during the story, he got better. He wasn't always good with his powers, but he got better, which was nice. I mean there's too many movies where the main character is the best at what he does (uh oh). But like Cassie, the Watcher, the girl who sees the future, they weren't so good. Cassie's mother was the best Watcher there is, but Cassie wasn't her. That's what made everything very interesting. Probably the only one who was best at everything was Kira, and mostly because that was the point - she had the injection which boosted the powers, and was the only one who survived it. It's like... it was the character's point. 

Anyway, uh, the plot was ruined with unnecessary romantic plot, but not too ruined. I mean it wasn't all like "omg Kira and Nick are so sweeeet and they love each other", no. There was more important things to do. Also, why was the bad guy black? They could've have other characters being black, why the bad guy? Seriously? 

Also the ending was nice. Mostly because it was a bit open. Not in the way there's gonna be a sequel, those open endings suck. But the way that you know how it ends, but you get to decide something yourself. That's a bit nice. Also I love how the plot had parts where it really fucked up your thoughts. Like woah, it's like this and not like that? Woah. It was great. It works in movies like this.

Anyway, if you like science fiction, watch Push. Maybe it's not gonna be your favourite movie, but it's totally worth watching.
