So Thursday was my birthday. Which of course, means that it was time to



Came back to Kamloops again this weekend. Me and Shaun went to see History of Violence on Friday, and my oh my was it absolutely terrible. It was almost beyond-words cliche, contrived, and just plain bad. My rating: 1/10. 0.5 is for Aragorn's habit of chopping people in the throat viciously, and the other 0.5 is for some pretty graphically violent scenes.

Two weekends, two bad movies. Not a good track record, although last weekend Shaun and I also watched Mindhunters on DVD, with Christian Slater, Val Kilmer and LL Cool J. It's a decent plot, with a team of FBI profilers going to an island for a "training" session, but their "trainer" starts to kill them off one by one. It's very similar to And Then There Were None, one of my favorite novels. Some decent deaths (the first one isn't that surprising but it's an awesome visual) but some really bizarre plot events. Overall a decent and at times pretty graphic scenes - a 7/10. Nothing too special in the end plus, as everyone knows, LL Cool J cannot die in movies. He just doesn't.
