A bunck of heavy hitters this time around. Edge of tomorrow and Braveheart are my favourites, if for different reasons. Edge's the spectecal movie, centered around a groundhog-esque live/die/repeate cycle that takes a rookie through to the end as a hardbitten badass.
Braveheart's more story driven, with little William growing up to lead his contrymen into epic (and funny) battlescenes with heavy horse and infantry going up against men in checkered skirts and no underware (for any Scots in the audience, I'm joking). They even get the Irish on their side, and together they take on the stuck up englishmen at Bannockburn, fighting like warrior poets (the ****?!).
Next up is Kill Bill vol 2, my prefered choice of the two if I'm forced to choose, but really the souldn't be separated. Together they are so much more than their parts, and anyway, I allways get the hankering to see the one after I've seen the other. They belong together, a single feature running north of 3 1/2 hours, right? Hanzo is awesome, Pai mei's a goofy bastered and the showdown with Elle is freakin' hilarious. Clearly the better part, but when combined, they tower over what they accomplish separetly.
Battle Royal's premise is somthing that could only come from Japan. "These kids today, they just lay about and stir up trouble. What should we do about it?" I don't know, just pick a class of high schoolers, send them to an island and make them slaughter each other until there's only one left. "...Perfect! This will solve the problem. Let's do it!"
So instead of lazy, no good punks roaming the streets, you'd prefer to have a lesser number of them, but they all should be completely psychotic and have a taste for full blown slaughter? Yeah, that's an improvment. Also, I find this movie hilarious. It's bat**** crazy, brutal and gory to the max. Hunger Games, but with attitude and more realism (or maybe not).
Haven't seen Wrath of Khan, but from what I hear Mr Montalban steals the show. And looks fabulous doing it.
