The Hurt Locker, a review by Jon


2009
The Hurt Locker
5 out of 5




From visionary filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker is an intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When renegade Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner - 28 Weeks Later, The Assassination of Jesse James) takes command of a highly trained bomb disposal unit, he frequently risks the lives of himself and those around him with his suicidal methods and a complete disregard for danger. Caught in the middle are his subordinates Sergeant J.T. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie - Half Nelson, We Are Marshall) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty - We Are Marshall, Jarhead), who can only watch as their leader descends further into addiction: an addiction to war.TigerlandOccupation covered some similar ground last year and is worth looking up instead). The Hurt Locker is an adrenaline rush, if you allow it. The only thing wrong with it is timing and hopefully it will eventually find an appreciative audience. For now, at least the Academy have recognised the sheer, extraordinary quality of this film.

Johnny Sunshine, a review by Jimmy




Title : Johnny Sunshine (2007)

Overview
In the year 2012, three years after the rise of zombies, a seedy underworld of exploitation and violence exists in a maze of alleyways and speakeasies just outside the city walls; where life is cheap and the drugs are cheaper. Surviving to a ripe old age has become an urban myth. At the center of it all is Johnny Sunshine, a porn-snuff star and killer for hire. She stalks the night like a tempest of sex and violence, much to the pleasure and profit of her producer, Max, and his entertainment empire. As the body count rises, Johnny becomes a victim of her own success. A secret plot is hatched to orchestrate her downfall and capture it all on camera to create the greatest snuff film ever made.

My Impression
Another deception, not that I was expecting something awesome in the first place. Poor excuse for an horror movie, the zombie had absolutly no make-up and they look just like the drunk we see at 3 AM at the bar exit ::) This is more an excuse to show some real poor execution of snuff movie with non attractive people, one girl had a pretty face but her breasts are fake (not my style at all). If I want to watch a sadistic film I can watch an Avon Film in my collection and not lost my time like I had just done with this ::)

What can I say sometimes we win sometimes we loose with those set...
