Iron Man 2, bummer!
It's a huge bummer that Terrence Howard gets replaced by Don Cheadle for the role of James 'Rhodey' Rhodes in Iron Man 2. Not that I have anything against Don Cheadle, he's a good actor, it's just that I hate it when you swith actor but keep the character. It's esthetically bad for any movie and it's image.

Alien Quadrilogy
I recently bought the oh so classic Alien Quadrilogy.
As everyone else, I have seen them all before. The thing is though that when you see something as a teen you tend to miss out of some of the art of the movie itself.
I watched the 4 movies 4 nights in a row or something like that. Very late night (like dark movies should be seen). They were even better than the first times I saw them.
I'm a fan of apocalyptic movies where you feel that the world is on the edge of extinction, ready to fall. These flicks are a must if you somehow have missed out on any of them.
They're not equally good though even if they all pass the flick-for-kick-limit.
So, here's the "Flicks For Kicks Alien quadrilogy ranking":
1. Split decision -
Alien, for the lonely feeling of drifting alone in space & of course because it's the first movie, make it unique at it's time.
Aliens, for the action/apocalypse feeling of being out of options on a foreign planet
(big up James Cameron).
2. Alien 3, for taking the important step forward and not falling into making a copy of any of the earlier movies. New story, new aliens & new good shit (not first place-good shit though).
3 Alien Resurrection, sorry Jean-Pierre Jeunet, I love your flicks but trying to make the fourth movie in an already amazing trilogy is way too fucking hard. It was probably an honour for you to take on the job but I think you knew you wouldn't end up making the best Alien flick.
Anyhow; The Alien Quadrilogy is a must have and therefore it's a "SEE"!

Watchmen
If you haven't seen the Watchmen movie yet don't hesitate to see it.
I waited too long and missed it on the bigger cinema screens.
Two days ago me and my homeboy Jasp went for a "middle-of-the-day-movie-break" and saw Watchmen. It blew me away!
At first I was a bit dissapointed by the later half of the movie, but all and all when I think about it
the first part (or rather the first 3/4 part) of the flick weighs up the ending.
Best thing is the deep dive into all of the characters in the movie and you feel the realness of that each hero name is a person.
Favourite character is the brutal but charming "Comedian".
Next up for me is to see the mini series of Watchmen that I got from my boy Gusto down in Helsingborg and of course to read the graphic novel. Big up Alan Moore!
So, if you loved 300 like I did you'll definetly like this one.
SEE!
