Given that there are a fair amount of action movie fans here, I thought I'd share the best movie (so far) of 2011 with you.

It came out on the 1st, and is, so far, my favorite movie of a sub-par year. Its a grindhouse movie - low budget, extremely violent, and is a hard R-rated movie. Its not a movie for the squeamish, or for those wanting a movie with a grand storyline.

There are good guys who deliver justice, and there are pedofiles, child-killers, and drug dealers that are dealt with in the movie. The kills are well-thought out, and the overall arc of the movie is great.

The most interesting aspect of the movie is the deployment strategy. Instead of going straight to DVD, it had a limited run in Canadian theaters, then was followed for sale via On-Demand channels before its release worldwide. I was able to watch it in HD for $15.00 USD - the price of a movie ticket to some theaters near me. Of course, I had friends over to watch it, so it was much, much cheaper.

Here is the most recent red band trailer which gives you an idea of how crazy the movie is:

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I haven't but I've wanted to since I first saw the commercial a month or so ago. Too bad I've got finals right now. Once they're out of the way I plan on getting together with my buddies and enjoying this one. Thanks for your impressions. Sounds like a fun action romp.

Its certainly a fun action romp. The kills (both against the bad guys and bystanders) are so creative, you never get tired of what is going on.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Watched it yesterday, and it was fucking fantastic. Rutger Hauer is a GOD, and "Run With Us" is still the best song ever after all these years!

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
