Troll Hunter - I'm not normally too fond of 'found footage' type films (mainly due to the wobbly camera making me feel a bit sick} but I quite enjoyed this.
Oh my Much prefer it to Enchanted, which is quite similar, and I found Rapunzel less annoying than Giselle (though I still both). Maximus is probably the funniest Disney animal character I can think of (up there with Dug from Up).
9/10

It is an exceptional film that's for sure. I remeber going to Coney Island and being disappointed I didn't see any 70's punks I did see the wheel though
Not sure I'd like to run into any of those gangs on my own tbh.
Only thing that kinda left me hanging is that I was expecting it to have a bit of a science fiction element to it. I thought it was going to be a cross between Mad Max, Blade Runner and Lord of the Flies (doesn't it even say "in the future" at the beginning?), instead it was pretty much just LotF in the ghetto. But hey, I'm by no means complaining.
One thing about the film, though, I wish there had been a bit of a reaction to curly head Warrior being run over by the subway. Would have been awesome seeing them get revenge on the cops, but instead they didn't even mention it! He just died like that and they didn't even notice.

I think it was just looking at a bleak view of NYC in the future. The 70's was a very dangerous time in the NYC, even in Manhattan, and I guess they wanted to portray it even worse by having gangs pouring all over the city and taking over. Even having giant meetings in parks. I loved the gritty old feel of it. If it was set in some mythical made up super modern future, it just wouldn't have that grittiness I don't think.
As for your second point, yeah that was strange. I remember when I first saw this and just assumed he somehow survived
Plus I find it amusing that the weird rapist one turned out to be the dad in Dexter
Asked my staff at work what mighty ducks movie I should watch tonight.
Only 1 out of 8 knew of them.
Are the Ducks a guilty pleasure?
I watched D1 over Christmas. It was awful. I used to love them though, especially as it had Kenan in it. I remember playing NHL games purely to be them in it
I tried watching Commando. I couldn't get beyond the "ooooh look what a nice daddy Arnold can be" scene at the beginning and had to switch it off. I mean I can take 80es campness but there is a limit.

That's one of the best parts of it. It's glorious and melts your heart. The perfect dad, and he proves it by murdering an entire army.
