Pontypool sounds interesting, might have to watch it.
Good thing I skipped watching Tintin, I wasn't really interested in the original comics in the first place.
Perhaps I should give it a second viewing sometime.
My next movie review:
Samurai Cop (1989)
The cover has NOTHING to do with the movie.
This is a horrible movie starring no-name actors: Robert Z'Dar, Matt Hannon, Jannis Farley, Mark Frazer
The movie has very predictable cliche moments but the dialogue is somewhat unique, as seen in this scene when 'Samurai' (played by Hannon) is talking to a nurse. You should really see it for yourself to understand how bad it is.
Another example is this piece of dialogue:
Samurai: Watch out Frank, the Captain's going to burn your ass.
Frank (played by African-American Actor Mark Frazer): My ass is already black.
I also have the feeling that Director Amir Shervan originally called this movie 'Horny Cop' as it features many many sex scenes and perhaps had post-dubbed the word 'Samurai' everytime someone said the word 'horny'. There is very little relevance to actual Samurai in this movie, except maybe the last 2 minutes.
Yet this movie is very AWFUL, it's one of those so-bad-it's-good movies.
When I show this movie to my friends we're bound to have massive laughing-fit unachievable by perhaps every single intentional comedy movie ever.
This is the type of movie that you must watch as a filmmaker or anyone interested in films to know what NOT to do when making your own feature.
My final verdict?
As a film based on quality - 1/10. 1 for fact that you could tell the cast and crew enjoyed making this movie, despite how bad it is.
As a lesson to those in film-making - 10/10. This, like 'The Room' is one of the gems of what NOT to do when it comes to making your own flick (unless you're aiming down low on purpose for an infamous reputation)
I rather enjoyed Tintin, and the rampart alcoholism amuses me greatly, more so due to horrified reactions from American cinema goers.
But Seriously, its a fun, well made adventure flick. Basically what Indy 4 should have been. I saw it in 2D and thus cant comment on the quality of the stereoscopic effect.

Hugo (2012) http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hugo/
I'm simply astounded at the high scores this film is receiving. Yes, it looks pretty but that's not exactly why I go to the movies. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and it just never did! Boring as bat ****, overly long and totally rubbish humour. 3/10
David and Margaret gave it 5 and 4.5 stars which compelled me to see what the fuss was about. I found the trailer to be pretty misleading, I got the impression that the robot was magical or something but it ended up being as boring as the rest of the film. The real subject matter was the last thing I was expecting (or wanting to see ).
Have you checked out Pontypool yet Skywarp?
I still have to check out Paul. Loved Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz though so I expect I'll enjoy it.
