I hope Arnie is allowed to continue making this stuff, but judging by the box office, it doesnt look like it. Hes probably headed "straight to DVD" soon. That type of action flick just isnt what is in vogue anymore. It is what it is..... |

Arnold is still very popular overseas. Escape Plan grossed 137 million dollars. Total budget was only 50 million.

I'll be honest, I thought it had a really smart plot. I went in thinking it was going to be a lot of dumb action, but it had some really fun layers. I'm sure some of the science was sketchy but it made sense to me.
Really made me wish Stallone and Arnie had teamed up in the 90s. |

Watched Bad Words and really liked it.
If you liked Bad Santa it's the same style of humor... |

Perhaps the worst movie I've ever seen.
It was like watching Mike Meyers Cat in the Hat in a subtitled cheesy Hong Kong kung fu movie. Epic bad. I should be punished for watching the entire thing. |

Got around to Inside Llewyn Davis.
I honestly think the Coens are now the new Scorsese. "Oh, they'll put out AWESOME shit every year. We'll reward them when there's no flavor of the week to promote. They'll always be here and always rock. No hurry.' Chef Boy Ar Dee Cheese Pizza? In a Box. Just sitting on a shelf? Genius. ILD was every bit as good as Fargo, NCfoM, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, True Grit, A Serious Man . . . . etc, etc. But this was the year of slavery torture porn. Maybe I have a soft spot for folk music. But when they busted out '500 Miles' I was a puddle. It just, like Pete Seeger, Odetta, and Woody Guthrie, creates a place where you HAVE TO BE. You might not even know why. But it's a home you never even knew existed until that moment. Then Vinnie Delpino breaks the mood HILARIOUSLY. A couple of things; It's amazing that with Neil Patrick Harris blowing up everywhere, Max Casella disappears for decades only to surface in two of the best films last year, ILD and Blue Ivy. It's truly a mini-McConaissance, just in terms of smart roles in quality films. It's also eerie to have Llewyn's story on the big screen the same year Lena/Hannah has her big GQ 'I'm too talented to work here' blowup on Girls on the small screen. Soulmates separated by 40 years. And Adam Driver connecting the two? Audiences would be well advised to recall that this is the same directing/writing staff that colored Oh' Brother Where Art Thou' in sepai, glorifying all the music that this film displays the seamy, but still transcendentally beautiful, underbelly of.

The Soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis was great. Made the movie for me.

Eden Lake was really well done, surprised I had never caught that one. Feces covered Kelly Reilly is going to have me fapping hard.
