Some of the last movies I watched:
Sleepers - It must have been 5 or 6 years since I saw this one. Still like it a lot.
Secret Window - Mediocre. I usually enjoy Stephen King adaptations but this one isn't that great. Depp is always watchable & so is Turturro under normal circumstances, but in this one he goes way over the top, and not in a good way.
I Want Candy - Crap. A comedy starring Carmen Electra. What was I thinking?
The Age Of Stupid - Thought it was fitting to watch this (in part fictional) documentary now, with the Copenhagen summit happening as we speak. Interesting & intriguing, but the entire global warming hype is getting on my nerves a bit. As is always the case with these type of "movies", they are very onesided & even a bit hypocritical: this one guy is fighting to build windmill parks all over Britain, because he wants clean power & because he wants to fight global warming. How nice of him. Too bad he drives a gas guzzling BMW while fighting for the cause.
Redbelt - I usually like David Mamet's work, but this one was not good at all. Quite boring & ludicrous, especially near the end.

I know very little, if anything, about the real Clough, so it's impossible for me to say whether or not he did the guy justice.
I did like Sheen's performance though. He pretty much sucks you in from the very start and steals almost every scene he's in.
Also, the "battle" between Clough & Don Revie, which I gather was something big at the time, is very well done. I truly believed in it at least.

Yeah, its nice, mainly for showing gritty Mongol living and warfare. Because when it comes to actually being about Ghenghis, its like 90% wrong, seriously not seen a movie be THAT inaccurate about a such a historic figure in a while. But I appriciate the effort cinematically and bothering to do a subject barely done (except by John Fucking Wayne 5 decades ago).
