Shawn and Charles "Charlie Bronson"


So I decided to take in the story of Charles Bronson. No, not that one!  A story about United Kingdom's most violent prisoner.

The movie featured Tom Hardy (Bane for batman fans) as he descended into chaos and violence.  The film takes two angles, as Hardy "hosts" the movie in a deluge of fucked up "stage" segments, not to be outdone by the more violent "prison" segments.

This flick was all kinds of fucked up, for me, and I really dug it.  It was strange as hell, but interesting enough to carry all the strangeness.  Accented by violence.  Hardy is amazing in this.  Destined for insane movie parts, I suppose.  But he does them sooo well.  

There is a looney bin segment that is weird too...just all kinds of weird and cool.  Definitely worth a watch.  Twice for me. haha. Way outside my normal selection of movies, but...I'm gonna go ahead and give this strange fucker a good.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've always liked the movies that leave you thinking, so I was definitely pretty excited to check out this one when my coworker at DISH told me about it a couple weeks ago. I added it to my Blockbuster @Home queue, got it in the mail, and watched it last night. I was pretty impressed with it, especially when it came to Tom Hardy. I thought he was a good actor at first, but now I think he's amazing! The movie was definitely way outside of my normal selection as well, but I'm very happy that I watched it. I have no late fees to worry about when it comes to returning it, so I'll definitely be keeping it a bit longer to show some friends of mine. I’m interested in seeing their reactions! :)

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
