08/06/2012: Prometheus [2012]

I can happily announce to you all that I was the very first person in line, for Prometheus. I showed up and hour early, and anxiously waited for the moment I could enter the theatre. What I will go on to tell you, is unfortunately, unlikely spoiler free, but if there is two pieces of information you shall take away before you go see it they are: One, Prometheus is as epic as it attempts to be, without losing its head in the clouds. Second, it is undoubtedly in the Alien universe, just not a direct prequel.

28/05/2012: Bad Lieutenant [1992]

Bad Lieutenant is the typical bad/corrupt cop story taken to a whole notha' level. Harvey Keitel gives us one of his greatest performances, and build us a character unlike many others. The Lieutenant is a gambler, a thief, a junkie, a killer, a cop. He is the character that disgusts us all and yet, he is so much more than just another bad apple.

22/05/2012: Kill List [2011]

I had been hearing good things about Kill List, and after watching it I tend to agree. But Kill List is a movie I am not even going to try to review spoiler free. So first go and watch this movie, and when you finish come back and we can discuss what the hell just happened and you without a doubt will.

Mr. Darko's Top Movies of 2011

This just got moved from a page to its own post, since at halfway through 2012, I figured to many people might be confused thinking it was 2012's. While I will begin to compile that list don't expect it until the new year.

So here is a list of my top movies from 2011 along with honourable mentions included. I did realize as I was writing this how few movies I watched from 2011, let alone how many were that great so I'll probably post a current list of my top movies later along with what I plan on watching soon. But for now on to 2011.

29/05/2012: Men In Black 3 [2012]

I hadn't intended to see MIB3 in theatres, but when 4 of my friends decided on a Tuesday night they were all going to pile into a car and drive through a maze of highways for a half hour to get to the nearest theatre I figured this might be my best chance to get to see one of the many great movies coming out this summer. I have no regrets.

26/05/2012: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy [2011]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a movie that was hyped about for quite a long time and yet, in the end never came to a theatre near me. I was a little disappointed, and only now have I finally had the chance to see it. For those of you who don't enjoy slow-burn mystery thrillers, stay away, the rest of you, jump on in.
