Iron Sky (2012) **1/2

Image
Cheesy bad fun.

Micmacs (Micmacs À Tire-Larigot) (2009) ****

Image
Second viewing. Quirky, breezy fun. Jeunet is sort of like Wes Anderson - if you dig his style then you won't be let down.

Prometheus (2012) ***1/2

Prometheus (2012) is   intriguing, ambitious, lofty at times. Definitely not what I was expecting. I have issues. I'd like to write something up about this, but I feel like I need a second viewing. Though I don't think it reaches the same level of camp and I don't think it will tank at the box office, I can only compare this to Dune (1984) on the level of confusion, disappointment and mixed reactions that it is receiving. Maybe this will become a cult film...? The 3-D actually looked great and most of the special f/x were top notch.

Alien (1979) *****

Image
The most perfect sci-fi/horror film ever made.

The Sting (1973) *****

El-P "Cancer For Cure" (2012) ****1/2

Image
Shit rocks.

The Hives "Lex Hives" (2012) ****

Image
They do not disappoint.

Queen Rock Montreal (1982) *****

Image
MIND BLOWN. I can't believe this is the only Queen concert captured in its entirety. I can't believe how much harder they rock live than on record. I can't believe how much Brian May shreds . Borderline metal at times. This is a great Blu-ray. The audio is phenomenal and the video is pretty great too (don't go by my screenshots of my TV captured on my phone).
