James Spader was just announced to play the villain Ultron in the upcoming sequel of Marvel's The Avengers. I don't have a clue who Ultron is but good choice of actor if you ask me. As long as he channels his S/M obsessed boss from Secretary or his car crash crazy sex addict from David Cronenberg's Crash for the role it should be worth watching. As for the looks I can definitely see the resemblance:
And now for something completely different.

Re-Animator (1985) Review
Let's make it really short. You like Evil Dead 2? You're a fan of practical effects? You think Braindead is one of the funniest movies ever made? Congratulations, chances are you're already familiar with Re-Animator, but if you're not then hear me out.

Elysium (2013) Review
I hate falling into the hype trap. You know what I mean, a movie looks and sounds really, really good in trailers and promotions, has a ton of talented people attached to it, has sky-high ambitions and ultimately falls short of our expectations. Wait a moment, haven't I been here before? I'm sensing a deja vu...

Give me... 5 movies filmed in Seattle
Oh Seattle, how we all love you. Fixie riding hipsters, grunge relics from the 90s, crappy weather for 10 months of the year, top it all off with a double-tall iced skinny white chocolate mocha with extra whip from Starbuck's and there's nothing better in the world. Maybe apart from a decent foot massage, nothing beats that.
I was wondering, why is this beautiful city not more prominently featured on the big screen? There are countless iconic movies tied closely to cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Chicago but what about the Pacific Northwest? So I came up with a list of 5 movies, all filmed in Seattle.

Give me ... 5 movies that made bank but were hated by critics
So we just witnessed the superflop of 2013, The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. Films bomb, that happens all the time (and I even called this one, ha, suck it Hollywood!). But instead of just accepting that audiences simply didn't want to see a rubbish movie stars Depp and Hammer and producer Jerry Bruckheimer started bitching about the critics, blaming them for the failure at the box office (check out the video evidence here). Seriously, WTF?! They really think movie critics have such an influence on the audience to cause a $250 million movie to tank?
So to be a total troll, here's the counter-evidence to their claim, I present to you 5 movies that were despised by critics worldwide but that made a fortune.

El Topo (1970) Review
You know, there are movies that are simply beyond review and judgment, movies that, even if you wanted to, you simply couldn't put in a row with other films, saying that it's better or worse than the other. And you know what, I'm sounding truly preposterous, so let's drop the act and dive right into El Topo.
