    I heard that some had grumbled about it, but that's all I know of it (was going to look that up later to see), but I just got wrapped-up in the film and was never thinking "based on a true story" as I watched it, I was just in the moment of the story as it unfolded. Fantastic performances.

    "Return to Nuke Em High Volume 1", "R.I.P.D.", and "Cop":
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...etins-and.html

    1) Typically Tromatastic tits 'n' gore reboot.
    2) Jeff Bridges puts on his 1800s lawman schtick to comedic effect.
    3) The most generically titled adaptation ever, based on James Ellroy's novel "Blood On The Moon" (why didn't they use that title?!)

    Super Bitch (Massimo Dallamano, 1973):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...-1973-dvd.html

    Ivan Rassimov does his best Clint Eastwood impression as a dirty undercover narcotics cop playing all sides against one another, as Stephanie Beacham gets her kit off to blackmail old pervy rich guys who like to frolick around in bed dressed as rabbits.

    The Raid 2, Thor: The Dark World, and Cabin Fever Patient Zero:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...isticuffs.html

    1) An epic punch-up of epicly-epic epic-ness.
    2) A bloke in a cape with a massive hammer swings it around London and gets on the tube.
    3) An exceedingly gross and gooey prequel in a series that you'll be curiously surprised has kind of become a franchise.

    The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears, and Anchorman 2:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...eo-giallo.html

    1) Brooding violence and dangerous eroticism meets the slickest visuals of the decade.
    2) Will Ron Burgundy jump the shark, or adopt it?

    Don Jon, The Canyons, and The Counselor:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...ky-movies.html

    1) Joseph Gordon-Levitt's writer/director debut.
    2) The so-called Lindsay Lohan comeback vehicle.
    3) In which a 'bolito' does its super gory thing, and Cameron Diaz rubs her bits on a car windshield.

    3) Zac Efron gets his shirt off, a lot, and everyone can't believe that torso is real.
    4) Ultimately the bleakest romcom ever?

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I enjoyed the different vibe and how they let it play out. Not great, but enjoyable enough in an odd sort of way.

    I dug it. An askew kind of a flick, but I very much enjoyed it. I'd forgotten about it completely until I stumbled across it on one of these movie channels that are stuck away amidst all the crappy cooking and low-rent garbage channels. More>Movies on Sky it's called, and I think it's called MovieMix on Freeview - watch the listings and see if it swings around on there over the next couple of weeks, Neil.

    Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, and jOBS:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...r-soldier.html

    1) JCVD and Dolph Lundgren are barely in it, but it's crammed-full-o-action.
    2) The decidedly not-definitive telling of Steve Jobs' story.
