This blog I doubt is going to be the most relevant and posts may not be that timely, but I have Netflix and dammit I am going to use to watch movies.
So I watched Valhalla Rising. I really like medieval times, viking warriors and all that. Movies it comes hit or miss. That said I didn't really get this movie. Oh, I like samurai too.
From what I watched it wasn't trying to an action film, which is totally fine. It was boring though. The action was brutal and violent just as it should be given the characters being vikings and all. But there was just long periods of mostly nothing happening. The majority of the movie has no speaking in it. There might be some underlying theme about religion and it being able to drive people to terrible things or go mad. I am not totally sure.
But at one point some dude gets his guts pulled out. Ooooo nasty. But yeah, things happen, but at the same time nothing happens. And then about 2/3 through the movie there is a sequence where I guess everyone is going crazy for some reason, I never figured out why. A guy either dry humps or has sex with another guy in the mud, One-Eye makes a cairn and people wander around and scream. Reading the wiki they apparently all drank acid, but that wasn't apparent to me.
I wish I liked this movie.
