Under the Skin. - 8/10

Hypnotic, fascinating and visually brilliant yet I still have no idea what I really watched. I'd say I'd watch it again but I'm not sure that would help.

Did anyone feel any sympathy for the alien towards the end of the movie? I didn't due to the acts previously performed but it's something that crossed my mind upon reflection. Also were the bikers searching for Scarlett's character due to her becoming almost too human? Did she let the guy go out of sympathy who the biker threw into the boot of the stolen car?

So many questions and possible interpretations.

I certainly felt that the alien had made, for the first time, a connection with humanity - as though she'd spent so much time in her human skin that she had grown attached to it (also the romantic encounter with the man who cared for her seemed to play a part). I can't recall whether there was any clear signal as to why she left the city in the first place? I didn't feel as though she 'got what she deserved' though - she was emotionally detached from the value of human life - there was no malice in her luring of men to their deaths. The scene where the woman and husband were drowned in the sea also beautifully conveyed her detachment.

It's been a while since I've watched a movie that has lingered in my thoughts for days afterwards. I liked Scarlett in just about everything I've seen her in, but I thought this was one of her finest roles.

Is it common knowledge that she was, in fact, an alien? Naturally that's what I assumed, but I read a comment that she was a robot created by the aliens to lure in the humans.

This is one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen. The score certainly helped make it that, as well as the way the humans were trapped and killed. I keep replaying those scenes in my head. Scarlett's slow backward walk with her hypnotized subject following her through black nothingness, both completely void of emotion. The wading and eventual swimming through the water before being totally submerged, with Scarlett still walking away. Loved that. Seeing that one guy have all of his innards instantly sucked out, with only his skin remaining, was disturbing. It's not a new sci-fi concept or anything, but it felt like it the way it was portrayed in this movie.
 
Gravity 9.5/10 one or two dramatic conveniences, other than that, it's without a doubt the most visceral space movie out there, I don't give it a 10 because it's definitely a theater experience, it loses a bit of the punch in the small screen but it still holds of pretty well.
 
Nice to know...

Woah! Let me check my Sarcasm Detector on that one.

Snow White and the Huntsman (Extended Edition) - 9.5/10

I know this is not a popular movie, but I love it. The Extended Edition is solid and I really have no desire to revisit the theatrical cut. The added material doesn't interfere with the pacing of the narrative and the dialogue in the scenes fleshes out the characters involved.
 
Expendables 3 - 5/10

What a disappointment, the new younger cast really ruin the movie. They're bland, boring, poorly written, and just feel like they were casted to bring in the younger crowd.

The jokes fell flat this time around, and the PG13 really ruined the action scenes for me

Wesley Snipes and Mel were the only good thing about this film. E2 is definitely the highlight of the trilogy.
