The Purge. Not bad, but not as good as I'd hoped.

The aliens sent them back. They're nice like that.

They just had their biggest guy chuck it really hard toward Earth.

Is it cheating if I said I saw Pacific Rim again? But on Blu-Ray in the comfort of my own home?

Cause I did. My disks are stored in Gipsy Danger's butt because I got the limited edition.

Wow, I remember watching that. It's still the saddest movie I've ever seen.

Isn't it beautiful though? I think it's actually my favourite film, maybe tied with Lives of Others. I saw both of them very recently and they blew my mind. The end, though, is just perfect agony. Acting like a god.

Pacific Rim.

Very enjoyable film. Not because it's high art, but because it's a movie that knew exactly what it wanted to do (be a giant monsters vs. giant robots movie) and achieved their goal 100%. It helps that it actually has decent characterization and acting, which has launched far too many ships on tumblr in such a short time span.

12 Years A Slave, I was unable to finish watching the movie since the sight of a grown man being whipped, beaten and nearly hung to death is apparently able to make me physically ill. (Combine this with the fact that such a scene like that was my races reality up until a hundred years ago does not help)

Thor: The Dark World.

Hopefully non-spoilery points:

- It turns out that the least ambitious Thor storyline you can tell is the origin story, which is a very good thing. I liked Kenneth Branagh's efforts, but there was something weirdly small about the first film that this one blows wide open.
- The not-cameo was both shameless cross-promotion and also brilliant.
- The budget for this film is $20m higher than the last one. Apparently, two years of computer upgrades and that much extra money buys you a shittonne more CGI, because Asgard looks fantastic in this.
- The premise of the film switches up the final battle. Great as The Avengers and Iron Man 3 climaxes are, it's good to see variations on them, rather than just an attempt to elevate things.
- I was told that Idris Elba (Heimdall) would have a bigger part in this film. Maybe he did, by a few seconds of screentime, but certainly not more. And now I'm picturing DCI Luther in Asgard, an idea which cannot go wrong.
- The trailer is basically a pack of lies (often in a good way - Odin's monologue is better in the film) except, ironically, regarding Loki, whose presence is at best a little over-emphasised but is otherwise fairly accurate.
- I'd call it as better than the first, overall.

Two points:

Anyone who thinks of Idris Elba and not immediately of Stringer Bell is uncultured. That is his pinnacle role. (The weird red-eye effect, by the way, made me think Stringer was finally trying some of his own product).

I just can't see the same potential for Stringer Bell in the Marvel Universe.

Just watched The Matrix. This probably makes me a colossal moron, but this is the first time I realised that it was filmed in Sydney. Granted, I haven't seen it since I was 13 or so, and I was a really thick kid, but all the same...

In any case, it's quite a fun action movie. Don't think too hard about it and just enjoy the ride. It's good to sometimes watch a dumb move like that.

I had a movie day and ended up watching:

Pacific Rim, X-Men First Class, The Avengers, and ending with the Breakfast Club. Weird, I know.

All of the movies were still pretty fab.
