Nine films to wait for...


 1. The Great Gatsby

I am a sucker for great love stories, the 20’s and larger than life personalities. Oh, and awesome trailers. 


2. Before Midnight

Jesse and Celine spend a day somewhere in Greece. So apparently he missed his plane.


3. The World's End
I love Edgar Wright. I love Simon Pegg. I love Nick Frost. I WILL LOVE THE WORLD’S END.


4. Byzantium                                                                                                                   
Neil Jordan, vampires and gothic stories. The last time this happened the world gained Interview with the Vampire. Just saying.
                                                                                            

5. Stoker
‘Personally speaking I can’t wait to watch life tear you apart.’ Chills down my spine.



6. The Place beyond the Pines
Hey girl, I am a motorcycle stunt rider this time and I am here to provide for you. Yes please.


7. Dead Man Down

Colin Farrell is my guilty pleasure (those sad eyebrows). At least here he has Niels Arden Oplev (the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) to direct him in this interesting crime thriller.



8. Elysium

District 9 was so long ago. It was about time mister Blomkamp.

















9. World War Z 
Zombies are taking over the world and Brand Pitt is here to save the day. Epic? Will see.

Back to life


Fuck,
it’s been almost a year since I last posted here. Although it was going for extinction I changed my mind and I am now resurrecting the whole thing. I have decided to actually write and post stuff instead of a bunch of pictures. And I will do it in English. It’s easier and a lot of my new friends will be able to read it. So here is to new beginnings.
