Has anyone seen Devil yet.... no spoilers please, I just want to know if I should spend the money,,,,what movies did it remind you of? I just saw this movie in a theater and I liked it. The plot starts on a simple premise, and though not totally original, it held my interest all throughout. It's been awhile since Shyamalan made a movie that had a semblance of his earlier, more successful work. In my opinion, this one is getting him back on track. hey, I just read there is more to come from the mind of M Knight 'Shyamalan says the second film in “The Night Chronicles” series is titled “Reincarnate,” a story about a jury deliberating a case that deals with the supernatural. And the currently untitled third installment of “The Night Chronicles” will be taken from the unplanned sequel of “Unbreakable,” his dark look at superheroes. ' read more at:http://www.reflector.com/look/movies/m-night-shyamalan-tells-devil-story-136374 Is he going to finish The Last Airbender series? I was seriously pissed that it didn't have an ending. |

Insomnia.
Starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hilary Swank. Directed by Christopher Nolan. 
Another great movie by Nolan. Linear. Al Pacino and his partner go to Alaska to investigate the murder of a teenage girl, and zaniness ensues. Definitely worth the watch. |

Man From Earth - it's an older movie and more thought provoking than anything else, although I really did enjoy it.

22 Bullets
(IMDb) Based loosely on a true story premise where a French gangster got pumped with lead and left for dead but miraculously survived the hit, 22 Bullets is a revenge flick worthy of its Europa Corp pedigree so you'll know just what to expect - a stylish thriller filled with anti-heroes, and plenty of gratuitous violence with the charismatic Jean Reno in the role of an avenging angel out to settle scores when the perpetrators just wouldn't leave him alone in his retired life. As the adage goes, one can never quite leave the gangland, and Reno's Charly Mattei, a once feared mobster in Marseille who signalled his retirement through the selling of his businesses to childhood friend Tony Zacchia (Kad Merad in a serious role), it's all about having a reputation that's still influential, and in order for friends to want to move along with their plans against his moral tones of zero involvement in drugs, the only way is to launch a pre- emptive strike to take Mattei out of the equation, only for the group of gunmen to fail in their quest and Mattei's reputation grows to become L'Immortel for obvious reasons. Like the Godfather series, one may want to get out from one's violent past, but circumstances pull one right back into the thick of the action. For Mattei, it's almost giving the other cheek up for another slap when the mob goes after him in the hospital, but the last straw that broke the camel's back came from the targeting of his remaining loyal soldiers, and thus the avenging angel is born, nevermind if one of his arm is now paralyzed. It's a story of honour amongst thieves, how some hoodlums fail to pay heed to the established rules of engagement of never crossing the line to hurt women and children, and essentially family members in their violent public spat. As for the cops led by Marie Goldman (Marina Fois), she's eager to look for an opening to avenge her husband's killing, yet bounded by duty to know that she has to keep personal and business separate. What more, it's to the police's advantage that the mob is killing one another, and thus warned to keep an arm's length at the explosive gangland war. In a strange parallel between those finding on opposite sides of the fence, it's all about doing a job, and then going home to family at the end of the day. Directed by Richard Berry who also had a small role in the film, 22 Bullets is unflinching in its violence, and the mowing down of Charly Mattei early in the film somehow is reminiscent of other massacres such as that of Sonny Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, or Murphy in Paul Verhoeven's Robocop. Don't expect Mattei to be dishing out revenge with creativity though, as his is a simple dispatch involving a signature one shot to the head, and one to the heart, two critical areas to ensure the grim reaper comes calling. There are the occasional lapses into monologues, although it does play up the fear factor here when he carries out the threat of striking when his enemies least expect him to. Jean Reno as usual excels in this role, and you'll find yourself rooting for his character despite his flaws and what his character actually was in the past. As Zacchia puts it succinctly, a wrong is a wrong no matter what layer of morality gets draped over it. Kad Merad's Zacchia too puts in a moment of brilliance when he delivered a hypocritical speech about the value of close friendships, while his demeanour behind closed doors is anything but, lying to the masses without a flinch. 22 Bullets is a straightforward thriller that worked without too much surprises, but its slick delivery more than makes up for any of its shortcomings. |

Re watched:
Popcorn Entertaining slasher. I like that the villain disguises himself as his last victim. The film is set at a movie theater during a horror movie marathon- the movies within movies are fun spoofs of 50's monster movies, and 60's Japanese monster movies. |
