Raid Balance
1 tank, 3 healers is ideal. Note that we beat this timer with a full minute to spare -- this is with my off-tank in the raid as well as several brand new 80s. Beating this timer is 100% about the sparks, and while gear will help a lot, it's not enormously necessary. You do, however, want all of your raiders to have ~18k health minimum while fully buffed to handle vortex and varying amounts of raid damage.
Phase 1 Notes
When Malygos is landing, he doesn't seem to register threat/damage for the first few seconds. Burning long cooldowns such as Bloodrage and hitting him too early isn't necessarily good. Have your raid give you a couple seconds until he's clearly facing you.
Like several of the Blue dragons, Malygos has no tail or cleave attack to worry about. For this reason, you can move him without too much fear of hitting other raiders (though you still need to pay attention to his conal breath).
You have plenty of time to move him away from sparks and force the sparks to cross over the raid. This is why I move around the edge of the inner circle, which also prevents him from facing the raid for a breath. When there are two up (the one from before the vortex and after) and when they are coming from adjoining quarters, I triangulate Malygos' position so they're both forced to cross the center.
It is possbible for Malygos to be within reach of melee who're in the center spark field while still allowing Hunters to attack from within the spark. This will happen naturally so long as you use the outer edge, though if you have problems, cut the corners a bit tighter.
While Death Grip from Death Knights is a means of stacking spark fields and while this strategy will work for some guilds, it will not be a recommended strategy given that you're relying on one specific class and you're making an entire raid move instead of just the tank.
With that said, tanks who are not used to strafing, mouse movement, camera control, and effective keybinds need to step up their game. Fortunately this website is here to help with that.
Phase 3 Notes
This video isn't a stellar example of Phase 3, in part because I don't see combo points on my interface (in general I'm very unhappy w/ my interface atm, I need to work on several elements such as player frames, target frames, and buffs). However, you do see my successfully shielding from a Surge, which is by far the most critical part of Phase 3. Make sure everyone in your raid clearly understands how to use that ability.

Video should be finished encoding in HD soon. Enjoy!
What about the breath that he does?
Thats what I meant, I got a little confused about your not worrying about the raids positioning, but I guess the breath is pretty predictable
Also, the video appears to not be available.
edit: i fail at reading the OP
Did you have any trouble with holding threat without the damage buff while the DPS had it?
This looks like its going to be lots of fun. It also looks like it is going to tax my PC...
As for movement whilst tanking, PvP skills have taught me a lot towards that. Your right mouse button is your friend.
A little help, though not sure how much it will be, if you ever find your self running out of fingers, and you are fast enough on the button mashing, you can use your W (walk) finger to hit a button if you jump, then quickly hit the button you want, then back on W key before you land. With this you continue to move with out stopping and you get your ability off.
Can't say I have used that whilst tanking, but in PvP I used that a lot.
If your fast enough with it you can even talk with out stopping (or hitting auto run), I can get off simple small words like yes and no.
Good tip for phase 2 if you're a warrior and got improved spellreflect, try to use it as much as posible, it's a great dps improvement when the disc guys takes 15k dmg and helping the healers also.
Another tip for phase 3 is not to target malygos while falling through the air onto your drakes. We did this last night and for some people the shield would not work. You can target him as soon as you land on the drakes. It seems odd but it does work.
Some tips:
=> We initially learned the 3rd phase by asking everybody to just heal, ignoring DPS. Also, move far away from the boss and the phase starts. That allowed people to become aware of what the fight looks like and get aware on how to use the shield, instead of dying in 10 seconds because they are overwhelmed with new information.
=> Blizzard's default UI is great to heal, since GRID and similars won't work. Drag the groups from the raid panel to your preferred location and use that to heal. Also can be used to warn people that their energy is too low.
=> For the 3rd phase, 2 healers is enough if the raid stay stacked and people use their shields. Our first kill was actually with only 8 people alive, we lost 2 at the end of 2nd phase due to unlucky shield spawn positions. So, 6 DPS and 2 healers for the 3rd phase is fine if you get there with 3 minutes spare.
=> Remember that stacking the flame debuff called 'Engulf in Flames' is your main damage source. Get that stack as high as possible, but don't be fooled to think the best initial rotation is 1-2-1-2-1-2, too much usage of 2 (Engulf in Flames) at the start will let you energy starved and your stack will have short duration. A good way to start DPSing is with a big 5-point combo to give you a 22s stack, and then work on stacking it up fast: 1-2, 1-2, OR 112, 112, as much 2 as you can and your energy permits. Always save 25 energy for the shield. Don't be afraid to just wait for energy to build, remember your stack is slow and you can wait.
=> For healing, just around go clicking people in a round robin fashion and putting hots, if someone in particular needs more heal, stack more hots on him. Remember to always use your finishing move which heals all the raid (you're stacked, remember?) and gives a +50% heal buff, NEVER let it down.
Hope that helps, cheers

//edit: HD has finished encoding!
I haven't done this fight yet (guild still leveling) but the abilities you gain in ph3 when you get on the red drakes look exactly the same as the ones you get whilst doing the wyrmrest daily above nexus. I'm just guessing this, but if anyone in your guild wanted to familiarize themselves with using the abilities, make sure they have a go at this daily.
Think this is the quest: Aces High! - Quest - World of Warcraft
Edit: awesome video guide, only thing more I want to see is the disc flying, but obviously thats hard to do from a tanks PoV.
is there any way to download these videos and put it on an ipod?

Demand response reduces overall energy usage, but the magnitude of the reduction depends on whether the technologies are developed and deployed with efficiency in mind.
Greening the Local Grid
Smart solutions for distributed renewables.
rating and loading indicates it can support 30 MW of DG. Rather than allowing just 30 MW of combined wind, PV or other renewable resource to be connected, given the diversity and variability of the resources, utilities need to look at new applications that will allow them to connect a greater amount of each—potentially up to 30 MW of each, so that during the night and windy conditions, it allows up to 30 MW of windmill DG to be generating and during the day it dispatches up to 30 MW of PV. Or it can be a mixture of the available resources. This implies that the distribution operating company must constantly monitor generation resources and exercise some control over DGs in order to ensure the grid isn't adversely affected in the rare event that generation from all available sources is operational and being maximized.
All of this means that producers will encounter difficulty if they seek to offer accurate generation forecasts to the utility grid system operators in order to support the 1-hour, 1-day, or 7-day and beyond forecasts. Since the grid operator (whether the utility or a regional independent agency) is responsible for matching anticipated demand with expected generation resources, any less-than-reliable forecasting of renewable energy production might result in the grid operator maintaining a higher reserve margin than ought to be needed—at least until better experience and tools are available.
Physical Back-up
There are physical mechanisms to address the impact that natural intermittency has on the value that renewable resources provide to the electric grid. These solutions also must offer immediate reactive response to sudden changes in generation capacity. A survey of the marketplace produces a variety of available solutions to this dilemma, from adding spinning reserve to demand response and the expansion of system interconnections.
Additional operational (or spinning) reserve can be added to the system to address the intermittency of renewables. While a technically acceptable solution, this comes with potentially high costs—both financial and environmental—because spinning reserve plants are often gas fired turbine engines. Their low use factor gives them a high per-MW and per-MWh cost, and so they are designed primarily for fast ramp and dependability—not low emissions.
Demand response (DR) and energy storage both help to address intermittency. DR refers to the solutions that allow utilities to curtail load based on preset conditions and agreements with customers. This can be direct load control (DLC), advanced pricing programs, emerging enabling technologies or a combination. Energy storage technologies allow renewable energy to be captured during periods of low demand or high generation and fed back into the grid when demand is high or renewable output is low. Energy storage technologies also provide stability during ramping periods.
Another approach uses complementary power sources to combine the particular renewable facility with a resource that has opposing generation patterns. An example would be combining wind and solar resources, or wind and hydro. Ideally, these complementary resources would also be renewable, but the challenge is to overcome the inherent geographical distribution of different renewable energy supplies.
Expanding the existing system interconnections with

This is a very comprehensive blend of herbs to boost male libido and vitality! Horn y goat weed is used for increasing libido by making you horn y! It works gently by slowly increasing the desire. Tribulus Terretris is known to boost testosterone level naturally without steriods. It is great way to boost muscle, athletic performance, libido, fertility, motivation to work hard, performance, energy level, lift mood, improve concentration and etc. Yoihimbe is a very strong stimulant. However, it tends to increase blood pres sure, increase heartbeat rates, can make me light headed (at higher dosages) and increased body temperature (your partner will probably notice too). This is not for those with heart problems. I have a love-hate relationship with yoihime. It works very well but I don't like the side effects. For this product, yoihimbe is ranked 4th by weight so the side effect isn't too strong (Normally, it is used as the 1st ingredient by weight). Be careful not to take this supplement near sleeping time as it might keep you awake. The capsules are vegan, not big and easy to swallow. The product also uses a glas s bottle which is les s likely to leak oxygen as compared to plastic container. Personally, I find that it works very well. Since the herbs are in liquid-phyto cap, it can be easily absorbed by the body and you can time it prior to action ^^. Pricewise, it is reasonable since it works well. Generally, I don't take 3 daily and one bottle can last a bit longer. Buy the bigger bottle to save cost! Check out my page for more reviews!

I've tried several herbal cures for my low level libido and this one had the least side effects and really worked for me. I had used Gala's version before with success and decided to try some lower cost alternatives. I came back to it after a few months of no success. The one thing to know; it takes a couple weeks taking the herb before the full benefits are noticed.

How to Shrink Plastic
By: Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Follow this technique from Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home to shrink plastic for jewelry and other projects. Remember that any #6 plastic containers, such as most berry containers picked up at the supermarket, can be decorated and shrunk with this method. Just check the bottom of the container to recycle for crafting. For more tips on using shrink plastic, check out this article.
Preheat a toaster oven or conventional oven to 275º - 300º. Place the pre-colored shrink plastic design on a non-stick baking sheet and place in oven.
The edges of the design should begin to curl within 25 seconds. If the edges do not curl in 25 seconds, increase the temperature slightly. If the edges begin to curl as soon as the design is put in the oven, reduce the temperature.
The plastic will curl.
… and sometimes roll. A large design may curl over on itself. If this happens, open the oven and unfold the design; then continue baking. (The plastic is hot so use cotton gloves to protect hands while handling the shrink plastic.) Sometimes it is helpful to also use wooden skewers to help maneuver the plastic while it is shrinking. This helps to protect you from burning your fingertips.
The plastic will continue to shrink to approximately 60% of its original size. (This varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.)
After about 1 – 2 minutes, the design will lie flat. If it is not flat, that usually indicates that it is not finished shrinking. Use a hot pad to remove from oven. To help keep design flat, place a book on top of the design until it cools completely.

Let me know how this turns out. I am also holding a spot on this thread so I can respond later. (I wish I could help check the math but I havn't done it in over 6 years)
The only real thing I can think of at the moment is 2 things.
They are weapon speed of the boss and if he is dualwielding. Would the weapon speed produce more hits in less time IE the time between hits reduced due to the weapon speed or increased due to a slower weapon. And if he is dualwielding would the second weapon be factored in. I know that avoidance already favors a DW boss but you could get an unlucky hit from that second weapon that we really don't think about too often because of the miss chance. Let me know if I am heading in the right direction.

I've tried upgrading to CS6 in recent months, and encountered all sorts of problems. Therefore, I'm now thinking of giving CS5 a try, however, I'm going to have to buy it off EBay, cost could be as high as £350 second hand. So is it worth upgrading from my CS3 to CS5 or am I better off sticking with what I've got. By the way my OS is Windows 8.
All The Best

Reconsidering Resource Adequacy, Part 1
Has the one-day-in-10-years criterion outlived its usefulness?
10 percent of a system's customers. If it's further assumed that 50 percent of the customers are, or share circuits with, essential-use 8 customers, and are therefore exempt from curtailment, the curtailment must be imposed on the remaining 50 percent of customers. With these assumptions, the exposed customers would be curtailed once every five outage events on average. Thus, 1-in-10 for a system translates into roughly one hour of outage every 50 years for the average customer exposed to such outages.
While the 1-in-10 criterion might result in a risk of curtailment to the average customer of once every several decades, most electricity customers experience a much higher frequency of outages due to disturbances in the electric distribution systems that serve them—roughly two orders of magnitude (100x) higher. The comparison of the 1-in-10 criterion to distribution system outage rates also suggests that the 1-in-10 standard is extremely conservative.
Utilities summarize the number of minutes of interruption the average customer experiences with the System Average Interruption Duration Index, or SAIDI, usually expressed in minutes of outage per year. Two values usually are provided, one including all events, and a somewhat lower value excluding major events, with the latter measuring more localized events that originate in utility distribution systems. A recent LBL report summarized utility-reported SAIDI values by census division, with major events excluded, showing a range from 107 to 212 minutes a year and a national average of 146 minutes a year. 9 The SAIDI values will of course vary for each portion of each electric distribution company's service area.
The 1-in-10 resource adequacy criterion can be expressed in minutes per year for comparison to SAIDI values, based on the rough estimates regarding curtailment quantity and duration used above. Those assumptions suggested that under 1-in-10 the average customer would be curtailed for one hour every fifty years, or 1.2 minutes per year on average. Thus, distribution system outages appear to impose roughly two orders of magnitude more minutes of outage on customers than does resource adequacy under the 1-in-10 criterion— i.e., 146 compared to 1.2 minutes a year.
Distribution system reliability, excluding major events, has averaged about 3.6 nines (see Table 2) . By comparison, the 1-in-10 criterion corresponds to 4.2 nines at the system level, or more than five nines for the customer, under the above assumptions.
Is 1-in-10 Justified?
In practice, capacity planning approaches result in resource adequacy that usually exceeds the 1-in-10 criterion. While 1-in-10 has been accepted in principle, planners and regulators understandably have as a goal that curtailments never occur, and there might be thumbs on the scale as resource adequacy is implemented.
There are a number of ways resource adequacy in practice often is more conservative than the 1-in-10 criterion requires. Because the criterion is probabilistic, probabilistic modeling is required to determine the reserve margin required to satisfy it. Such models rely on assumptions about future load growth and its variability; capacity resources and their outage rates and availability during peak periods; the amount of interruptible load available; the assistance that may be available from neighboring systems

Hi this looks great. Would love tobuy it
Love to press stamp my project, but darn this thing is GIANT - it is WAY too big for my stamping desk/area. Most cards I make are standard 5.5x4.25 and this monster press is just overwhelming. I'm returning it to the store. If a smaller version was made that would be great. The footprint of this is just too large.

We're barely in February, but it's already clear that 2013 is Cara Delevingne's year. Seriously, this girl is EVERYwhere and we're very happy for it. Today, Cara adds another accolade to her bulging CV: she's the new face of Pepe Jeans London. Yes! It's a fitting choice considering the tomboy model practically lives in laid back denim - when she's not stalking the catwalks in Chanel, that is. She follows in the footsteps of fellow Instagram Queen and previous Pepe face, Alexa Chung, proving that Cara really is this year's 'It Brit'.
The brand is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year so understandably Pepe Jeans London wanted to sign up the model of the moment for the campaign. The first look at the ad [above] sees Cara striking a pose wearing a grungey studded waistcoat over a rocker-esque vest with low-slung printed shorts. Her enviable pout is firmly in place, her brows are looking more magnificent than ever and her long blonde locks are artfully disheveled. There's also a complementary campaign film starring Lady Delevingne darting around the streets of London in skinnys and heels looking for the allusive 'Pepe' [scroll down to watch]. Is there anyone cooler than Cara right now? We think not.
Grazia Daily grabbed an exclusive chat with Cara to talk about her new role, her fashion week highlights and what makes her heart beat faster...
Grazia Daily: Your style works brilliantly with Pepe Jeans London - why do you think this is the perfect fit?
Cara Delevingne: I am very happy to be part of the Pepe Jeans team, considering the line up before me – Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller. My style is a mixture of both although I'm more tomboyish than either of them.
Grazia Daily: What do you most enjoy about shooting the Pepe Jeans campaign?
Cara Delevingne: Working with Josh Olins who is brilliant and lovely.
Grazia Daily: Which denim pieces can you not live without?
Cara Delevingne: Definitely skinny jeans.
Grazia Daily: What's your favourite way to style skinny jeans?
Cara Delevingne: Oh I just wear them with trainers or boots, t.shirts and my leather jkt.
Grazia Daily: Will you be wearing colored jeans this summer? If so what colors?
Cara Delevingne: I'll be wearing really light blue jeans, but I love any coloured jeans, I would love some multi coloured jeans
Grazia Daily: Who are your favourite British fashion icons?
Cara Delevingne: Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung
Grazia Daily: What's your greatest fashion week memory?
Cara Delevingne: Opening the Chanel show in Versailles was exceptional, you only get to find out if you are actually opening the show moments before, and it's nerve wracking and thrilling and brilliant
Grazia Daily: How would you describe London Fashion with only one word?
Cara Delevingne: I need more words! For London, it's original, creative, iconic, influential, graphic.
Grazia Daily: New York fashion?
Cara Delevingne: New York is unique, edgy, definitive, organised.
Grazia Daily: French fashion?
Cara Delevingne: Paris is classic, elegant, timeless, tres chic.
Grazia Daily: What makes your heart beat faster - acting, modelling or playing the drums?
Cara Delevingne: I love to sing, and obviously playing the drums makes my heart beat loud, it's incredibly physical. Playing Anna Karenina was probably the best days of my career and made me want to do a lot more acting.

New mobile app has potential for unwanted exposure
Ken Moskowitz, Data Doctors
Amy Hunter, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The problem with Facebook's new photo feature is a matter of worst- case scenarios: You take what we'll call a "sensitive" picture and you don't realize it's been automatically uploaded to your profile.
Now, if that did happen, the picture would not be public until you approved it on your page. But what if you got hacked? Or attacked by malware?
Or if you did what Data Doctors' Ken Moskowitz does ...
"I'm at a friend's house and I hop on their computer for a second to show them something. I check my Facebook page and I forget to log out," Moskowitz says. "Well, what happens now is that my friend has access to all of those photos."
Facebook's new feature is called "PhotoSync," and it's an application the company quietly rolled out that automatically uploads every picture on your smartphone to a private location on your Facebook page, Moskowitz says. Once on the page, the Facebook user can decide whether to post the picture publicly.
The application is not "on" by default. The user has to click "yes" before their photos begin populating automatically. But the app has "some unintended consequences that we're concerned about," says Moskowitz.
"Because Facebook is placing (the app) right in your news feed, it's very easy to accidentally click on, 'Yes, I want to do this,' and suddenly your phone is now syncing. And it's so seamless, you don't even realize it's happening," he says.
Moskowitz says it's fairly easy to make sure this feature is off, and to delete photos you don't want shared.

Thanks to the Internet, consumers expect 21st century companies to bring a sophisticated online presence. Utilities that leverage the interactive power of Web 2.0 will strengthen their positions...
Saving The Smart Grid
Hype, hysteria, and strategic planning.
Many utilities have focused their communication efforts about smart grid—to both customers and regulators—extensively on AMI. This makes sense, because meters are the aspect of the smart grid that affects customers in the most direct and tangible way, and regulators gravitate to the new efficiencies and options they offer. Further, many utilities are seeing measurable payback from their smart meter installations.
"Companies are getting real benefits today," Munday says. "In 2009, Salt River Project saved 82,000 labor hours, not counting meter readings. They avoided driving 443,000 miles and burning 43,000 gallons of fuel. They reduced personal injuries by 39 percent and vehicle accidents by 10 percent. They reduced overdue bills, and are now connecting and reconnecting people in hours instead of four days like they were before. Typically people are happy with it, because they're seeing greater benefits than they planned for in their business cases."
But even though the number of angry customers is infinitesimal compared to the many millions of customers served, some companies have found themselves in a battle they weren't entirely prepared to fight—by virtue of focusing attention on AMI.
"Smart metering has given smart grid a black eye in some cases recently," McDonnell says. "Not to pick on any specific utility, but some utilities have kind of led with their chin on this issue."
Talking only or mostly about metering leads consumers to believe that smart meters represent the sum total of smart grid, and as a result their skepticism gets projected onto much broader initiatives that they don't understand or don't know about.
Fears about new technology are of course basic human nature, and smart meter concerns run the gamut. Skeptical customers express fear about everything from meter data security—that criminals or Big Brother authorities could use the information to spy on them—to purported health effects of wireless signal waves. In a less regulated industry such as telecom, such concerns are always a small fly in the ointment, but in the utility sector a very small but vocal fringe can have a real impact on the policymaking process. (See "99.9 Earns 'F.'")
"It's total Chicken Little syndrome," Hickman says. "You've got all these people out there talking about privacy and security issues for meter data. But we do billions of dollars of financial transactions on the Internet every day, and you don't think that this problem's already been solved to protect meter data? People who are beating this drum and are making this an issue should be tarred, feathered, and shot. This is such a non-issue in our industry."
Perhaps even more significant is the fact that debate over smart meters can overshadow other aspects of the smart grid that are far less likely to attract any kind of controversy.
"Utilities might have a significant amount of mundane but very important distribution automation work that needs to be done to improve the reliability and efficiency of their network, and that's not always real sexy," McDonnell says. "It doesn't make for good headlines, and it can be harder to sell to regulators because they gravitate to the

Review this movie
Nov 13, 2014"Seven Psychopaths" 10 Scale Rating: 7.5 (Very Good) ...
The Good: Witty and clever, "Seven Psychopaths" feels like an ode to those gritty and witty crime films of the 90s. It's like a Tarrantino film without the cameo. The characters are well designed and fleshed out despite being mostly bad people doing bad things. Highly entertaining and keeps your interest right up to the end.
The Bad: There is a stretch about three quarters of the way through that REALLY drags on. It is about a thirty minute stretch where there isn't much going on and revolves around three of the characters hiding in the desert. They sit and pretty much chat through this entire span and it wasn't all that interesting.… Expand
Sep 4, 2014Another exciting turn for Martin McDonagh.... and yes, this one has it all. Near constant bombastic violence and plenty of laughs. Seven Psychopaths is a movie for writers and you'll see why.
Jul 19, 2014Seven Psychopaths was pretty good. Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell, and Sam Rockwell all acted well in this. And I'm surprised of Colin's accent in the film too, because I've never heard him use his normal Irish accent.
Jul 18, 2014Overall, this one struck me as very Quentin Tarantino-esque in its stylish and almost cartoony violence and in the way it was written. The characters are great, the comedy is dark, but hilarious, and the dog is fantastic. Like, my love for shih tzus is confirmed, this dog was absolutely adorable. It really stole the show for me and that is saying something given the great performances from an unhinged Sam Rockwell, Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, and Woody Harrelson. This one was not what I expected in the least and the way it was very much about the writing of this film (a la Charlie Kaufman's "Adaptation") was pretty odd and unique. The self-referential stuff does get a bit tiresome towards the end, but the film remains a blast to watch thanks to its writing and acting. Overall, much of this one is clicking, but as I said, the self-referential stuff gets tiring and it kind of takes you out of this one by the end, but even then, it is a solid flick that is certainly worth a watch. In terms of Martin McDonagh, I preferred "In Bruges", but this one is a worthy follow-up and I look forward to whatever he comes up with next.… Expand
Jul 12, 2014cast is Genius but i didn´t like it as much i expected it. it was not that good, i had really high expectations
Jun 4, 2014Seven Psychopaths is an excellent non-linear film that has some great talent, and tries its hardest not to waste them: it succeeds. It's fun and entertaining, but not for those who are easily offended. The way it mocks itself and self-references other scenes in the movie is pure genius. The whole movie is one big ironic piece of cinema that has Christopher Walken, one of the many things this movie got right.… Expand
May 21, 2014I watched this movie 4 times. It's great. It's one of my favourite videos. I was very happy after it, because i've never seen something like this, something good and funny at once. I LOVE IT!
May 15, 2014This movie have a very interesting story about a man triyng to write his screenplay, the story and the actors playing the characters are very good, a good dark comedy.
May 12, 2014Whilst quite entertaining, the plot really feels neglected and at times aimless. There's really only 4 "psychopaths" (in quotes since - to me only 1 of them really were psychotic.) - and I feel cheated. It was still enjoyable though, and the characters are pretty interesting. The acting was top-notch, which makes the rest of the movie kinda a shame - they could have done so much better with such brilliant acting if they had a better script.… Expand
May 8, 2014The BEST move my eyes could ever see.LOVE IT => the acting of the characters was just OUTSTANDING.....LOVE THIS MOVIE SOO MUCH !!!.this could be an great story for an MafiaIII Game :)
Jan 1, 2014From the same director as the cult black comedy In Bruges, a masterclass in comedy film making, comes this complex dark thriller Seven Psychopaths.
Colin Farrell is playing himself an alcoholic and slightly paranoid Irishman, the only difference between Marty and Ray from In Bruges is that he doesn't say a lot. An ensemble cast including Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell and Olga Kurylenko joins him and in in short hilarity ensues. From the reason they are hunting each other down to minor details like when a gun won't fire, everything is some kind of joke even if some attempts at humor are a bit hit and miss. Unlike the vastly superior In Bruges this appeals to a wide audience because of how slick and cool the backstories behind each psychopath are, specifically The Quaker who is one of the coolest movie characters ever. However just because most of the characters are killers does not mean you feel nothing for them, sure it's not like In Bruges where you are almost in tears for a child murdering hit man, but you definitely care for them which is not an easy thing to do. Some people have claimed that it mistakes violence for humor and isn't witty at all, but I argue that that never stopped Oscar winners like Tarantino and Scorsese.
A hugely enjoyable bleak (not black) comedy full of laughs, shootouts and strangely likable characters. It's not even in the same league as In Bruges but I loved it.… Expand
Dec 21, 2013Very funny and also very violent. If you like dark humor then you will like this film. The entire cast is perfect and it was very original. It wasn't perfect but all and all it was a good film.
Dec 19, 2013This felt a lot like a Tarantino or Guy Ritchie rip off. It wasn't clever, didn't have enough plot twists, and had no real surprises. I enjoyed both Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken, but the rest of the actors were just kind of there and didn't do much for me. Overall, not a bad movie, but neither is it a great one.
Nov 21, 2013Surprisingly good. Very intriguing and interesting premise and plot. So meta! Definitely a little strange at times. The acting is superb along with the dialogue. Funny, off-beat, and at times violent, this was more entertaining than I thought it would be.
Nov 3, 2013This is a black/criminal comedy, pretty bloody I must say. It includes a whole bunch of awesome actors. The story is interesting and original. There are several characters with their own stories and they merge into one plot, I won't spoil any of them. Overall, this one is advised to everyone who likes really good movies.
Nov 1, 2013Inspiration needs to come from somewhere, this is the sort of film that we know witty yet simple in many forms, with 'Seven Psychopaths', we have a film within a film, sort of. A lot of it is through the vivid imagination of Marty Faranan (Colin Farrell), while the rest is true to the main plot of the film, the title comes from the screenplay that screenwriter Marty is struggling to write, he has the title at the top of the page, the same as the real film, but not much else. He ends up getting quite a bit more than he bargained for when is loose cannon of a friend, Billy (Sam Rockwell), decides to put an ad in the paper reaching out for actual psychopaths, its dry and believable approach can only come from the man behind 'In Bruges' and 'The Guard', Martin McDonagh makes films that are soaked in their own awareness and deep characters. We immediately see this in the opening scene involving two hit men clearly waiting on their target, oblivious to the man in a red mask approaching them from behind, and in turn execute them, moments like this sum up the layers of surprise and edginess of the film, yet also not taking itself seriously. In the midst of Marty writing about psychopaths, or trying to, there is a serial killer on the streets of Los Angeles, the same man we meet at the beginning, his calling card being the Jack of Diamonds, he seems like a vigilante. Billy, meanwhile, spends his days kidnapping the dogs of rich people and collecting the reward with the help of Hans (Christopher Walken). He has his own past and own problems with his wife recovering from cancer, but caught in the middle of the wrong dog to kidnap, the one of gangster Charlie Costello (Woody Harrelson). We are introduced to each psychopath as their stories are revealed, the stories being played out as imaginary or as flashbacks, many being subtle bows to previous Hollywood films that employ the same scenarios, some of the quips seem to poke fun at themselves, but it also brings out quite an interesting and even heartwarming story, Walken in particular bringing a subtle yet effective tone to his role, some of this seems improvised, which is definitely a good thing.
The scenes with the three leads of Farrell, Rockwell and Walken, seamlessly combine silliness with brilliance as they attempt to come up with the ending for the film, but each time the film seems to go one way, it definitely can go other to surprise us, it has comedy, cruelty and camaraderie rolled into one well scripted package, which makes for a film that has the brass and talent to back itself up.… Expand
Oct 14, 2013Not funny or really interesting. I honestly fail to see what the point of this movie is. It just seems to be violent for the sake of being violent. I started off interested in the movie even though it was dull, but after a while I just stopped caring. The cast gives a great performance but the writing falls flat. It's kind of a dud and I don't recommend it. There are better ways to spend your time.… Expand
Oct 2, 2013Good actors, good picture, good violence, terrible screenplay that makes all the rest worthless.
And to compare this to any of Tarantino movies is just a crime, it means someone does´t get Tarantino at all. Tarantino doesn´t make B-movies with good actors, he makes parodies of B-movies with good actors and inteligent screenplays. This one is just a bad puffed up B-movie. I still can´t believe I lost 110 minutes of my life watching this. If you're over 16, dont waste your time...… Expand
Aug 28, 2013Surprisingly interesting. Though it droned on for some time. I liked the people, though. Sam Rockwell being the breakout in that movie. His unpredictable character sets the main story for it's start. If I were to see it again it would be because of him.
Aug 18, 2013I laughed once. It was when Farrell's character proposes that the rest of his movie would just be the psychopaths talking to each other and then his friend replies "WTF, We're making French movies now?". I laughed because I'm French and it is how I feel about most of my country's movies. The rest just... sucked, really really sucked. Is it my sense of humor? Or do I lack the cultural background to enjoy this comedy? The later seems unlikely since I've been in North America for over a year. Either way I didn't find this movie funny, in any way.… Expand
Jul 12, 2013Like traditional Martin McDonagh fare, it may not be as comedic as its trailers and TV spots suggest, but that in no way means it is a bad film. "Seven Psychopaths" is a richly dramedic trip with frighteningly irresistible characters and a healthy amount of powerful thematic elements.
Jun 28, 2013Great, GREAT movie. What good pop culture should be. It's accessible to the masses but presents an interesting discussion about our existential journeys as people, good in the face of evil, obsessive love, and, above all, fate. The cast is incredible, the dialogue is great and at times hilarious. It was definitely far more than I expected. Everything about it was strong but the pacing faltered once or twice. A negligible criticism to an otherwise stellar production.… Expand
Apr 5, 2013A smarter movie than many would give it credit. The second half got even better. Felt surreal and non serious at times though, so I was at a loss about whether to take it seriously or not. The ending, which I won't spoil here, got under my skin. The acting was quite sufficient. Rockwell should have gotten some recognition for his portrayal of Billy. The movie should have been nominated for Original Screenplay at least.… Expand
Mar 21, 2013I really could not see all this clever or funny sparks people talk about.
What movies have you been watching lately? This film had lots of money and great names but no ideas, far fetched black humour and contrived demented dialogues. It has to be really hard to protract a movie for almost 2 hours with such an utterly pointless plot.
Hollywood over-produced nonsense at its best.
Mar 21, 2013IGNORE BAD REVIEWS! Yes there's no doubt any movie loving person has high hopes for this film pre watching but it delivers in a striking fashion. Whether it's laughs or sick revolting violence you crave SP delivers at every turn. The plot may be riddled with certain cliches but never the less the story hooks you and evokes every passion from the viewer from painful laughs to shocks that result in goosebumps to holding in tears. Every character's profile is revealed in a fascinating fashion and in fact (while not going crazy) the plot and humor is similar to The Big Lebowski!!!… Expand
Mar 18, 2013One of the most interesting films of 2012. Great script. Bizarre and full of hilarious and awkward moments. An amazing cast. Everybody is great in the film, Walken being probably the standout. Although my preferences are in Colin Farrel. He is a really great actor and in this film he does what I like the most from him: playing sensible and vulnerable. Love that every character on the film loves dogs. It´s definitely different and so much needed in this world dominated by brainless masses. At some points it drags a little bit and that is why I am not giving it a 8 or a 9.… Expand
Mar 11, 2013For 2/3 of the movie, this was very entertaining with great performances from the whole cast. Then, for whatever reason, the movie falls apart at the end. Very disappointing.
Mar 10, 2013This film was cool. Sam Rockwell is the stand out performance, but Farrell, Harrelson, and Walken give good performances as well. Martin McDonagh shows that In Bruges wasn't a fluke.
Mar 4, 2013Seven Psychopaths is a lot of fun, even if it is decidedly incoherent and pointless. The entire cast has a blast riffing ton crime film cliches and winking self referentially at the proceedings. Bonus points for the inclusion of Tom Waits who deserves his very own psychopath movie.
Mar 3, 2013Seven Psychopaths was a very interesting movie and truly unique. The cast was absolutely fantastic. Colin Farrell is a very underrated actor but Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, and Woody Harrelson really made this movie worth watching. Rockwell was hilarious. The movie did drag quite so that's the main reason for the lower rating. I don't think this is a film everyone will enjoy, however. There's a substantial amount of vulgarity and violence so some people will certainly be put off by that.… Expand
Feb 28, 2013Another film that I had so much hope for but ultimately tries 2 hard and fails in many areas. They did a magnificent job casting an all-star cast but that's unfortunately the best part of the movie. The movie starts with a halfway interesting story that falls apart about an hour into the film. If you're looking for a witty action movie with an all-star cast then watch something else because there isn't a shred of intelligence and it's pacing is 2 slow to be called an action movie. If you have a brain then you already know how the movie is going to end and you're just sitting through the last boring hour to see what you know will happen. Don't believe the hype and rent this movie if you're curious before you buy.… Collapse
Feb 17, 2013Seven Psychopaths is one of those films that shows how hard it is to achieve a 'Tarantino-esque' crime- comedy-thriller. This film is supported by a stellar cast, including Rockwell, Walken, and Harrelson, as well as having a lot of self referential bits of dialogue. Nevertheless, the film felt aimless and smart but not as smart as it think it is. Not bad.
Feb 14, 2013This movie was unlike any movie that fit into this genre I've seen before. Didn't really have any idea what happens next. Colin Farrell was brilliant. Walken will never get old. Another excellent job from Rockwell as well! Also good to see Harrelson back in front of the camera again. Of course, let's not forget about Tom Waits, you could put him in a movie with a piece of and he would turn it into acting gold!… Expand
Feb 12, 2013An over-the-top movie (even pulp noir) should not be sloppily self-indulgent. Parts of Seven Psychopaths feel arbitrary and thrown together, creating confusion, not art. SP really goes off the rails in the final half hour. I was surprised that SP was less than two hours long. I would recommend deleting the Vietnamese character (and the rewrite of his story) and the fantasy shootout sequence. Without this padding, I might rate SP a six, mainly for Christopher Walken.… Expand
Feb 11, 2013even after reading the reviews about this movie I still really didn't know what to expect. As it is hard to describe, and thus a hard screen play to write (I would guess). An alcoholic writer is trying to write a movie about 7 psychopaths, but doesn't have all the characters. He eventually learns some of his closest friends are psychopaths and uses them and others but yet the movie tumbles into what the alcoholic writer is writing. Does that make sense....no. I know, but worth a watch I think. The plot a bit meandering but bouts of humor to offset that. Walken is classic and even Colin Ferrel is tolerable.… Expand
Feb 8, 2013This was a sublimely clever, seriously funny movie. It manages to poke fun at violent movies, racism, sexism, religion, love, pet ownership, and more!! At the end, just when it makes you wonder whether it means to be philosophical or profound, it makes fun of the viewer for expecting a neatly wrapped-up ending. Keep watching as the credits roll! However, if you have a short attention span or dislike black humor, you will hate this film.… Expand
Feb 7, 2013there were 7 psycopaths but garfield was not one of them
Feb 6, 2013"A person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour." That's the definition of the word of psychopath from Oxford Dictionary. Thiz movie comes from the Directors of "In Bruges" (2008) Martin McDonagh. McDonagh is the kind of Director who can make an effective black comedy with roller coaster storyline and interesting characters. He also shows promising signs of becoming one of the cult movie Directors. The story revolves around a psychopathic screenwriter (Colin Farrell) whose seemingly nice girlfriend is a psychopath (Abbie Cornish), makes friends with a psychopathic dog kidnapper (Sam Rockwell) and his psychopathic assistant (Christopher Walken) who unfortunately stole a shih tzu which belongs to a psychopathic gangster (Woody Harrelson) whose unfaithful girlfriend is also a psychopath (Olga Kurylenko). Meanwhile it's also about a mysterious psychopath (Tom Waits) who carries a white bunny all the time. Well, I just used the word "psychopath" so many times. If you feel confused, it may be true. The first 30 minutes of the movie will probably make you confused. If you feel it's kind of weird, yes, the movie is very weird and comedic as well. The dialogue is interesting and alive. Everything just flows to the right direction. And I almost feel like there is a time when thiz movie criticizes itself. The three main characters are amazing. Let's start with Colin Farrell. Farrell depicts an alcoholic screenwriter who looks like a peace lover but sometimes looks more like a coward in many situations. It's great to see Colin Farrell can bring a different kind of character. And the next one is Sam Rockwell who rocks pretty well. Rockwell's character is the one who sets fire in thiz field of gasoline. He looks confident and believable. People can hate his character but surely will love his performance. Personally, Sam Rockwell's performance is the best performance in thiz movie. Last but not least, it's Christopher Walken. Walken goes back to his roots, bringing an eccentric character, it simply reminds me what he is good at, just like the old times when he triumphed in "True Romance" (1993), "Last Man Standing" (1996) or "Kill the Irishman" (2011). Thiz movie just made me realize that all thiz time, most of my favorite movies has psychopathic characters in them, such as "Pulp Fiction" (1994), "Fight Club" (1999), "Trainspotting" (1996), "True Romance" (1993), "Natural Born Killers" (1994) and many more. Just because we like movies about psychopaths doesn't mean we are also psychopaths, right? Or are we?

Feb 3, 2013Wow.. folks there really IS such a thing as trying too hard to be witty and original, and this movie proves it. Yes I get the 'meta movie'. Yes I see the real life and classic references. But this was just super lame. No amount of Walken could save this. And Colin Farrell is a waste of space, as (mostly) usual. Go back to the Phonebooth, buddy. Some funny parts.
Feb 3, 2013Not necessarily a great film but interesting different and watchable. Decent acting just strange plot linking, it's like it's a movie that knows it's a movie.
Jan 31, 2013An unexpected delight! Loved the writing and the performances are top notch! Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell are standouts, Ends up being one of my favorite films of 2012!
Jan 29, 2013Overall bearable. Lots of boring talking with a fair number of wild scenes. Too much talking is the problem. The trailer was completely misleading and I was a little disappointed in the end, my expectations no where near met. OK movie, giving it a miss wouldn't hurt you, good for pasting time tho.
Jan 27, 2013The acting is solid. Action keeps things interesting. A bit too long though, Would have been better if it were shorter. Didn't find it funny though. I really liked the sub plot though (the main character is a writer and he is using what is currently going on as a basis for his script), That was rather satisfying. Overall, I want to recommend it but I can't, I think it tried too much to be a comedy/drama mix when it should have picked one or the other.… Expand
Jan 21, 2013Storyline: Marty (Colin Farrell) is a writer and is trying to get more idea's for a screenplay he's writing called Seven Psychopaths. His best buddy Billy (Sam Rockwell) has been giving him some great material but he has gotten everyone into some heavy duty bother with a villain called Charlie (Woody Harrelson). Billy and his friend Hans (Christopher Walken) who kidnap dogs to claim the reward end up with Charlie's dog, and Charlie really loves this dog, so now they are in serious trouble. There are a superb bunch of characters in this movie that keep us very interested throughout.
Acting: I'm not really a Sam Rockwell fan but I've always loved his performance in 'The Green Mile' and in this he is awsome at playing the complex Billy. He is actually better in this than Bradley Cooper is in 'Silver Linings Playbook' but Bradley gets the Oscar nod. Colin Farrell was really good and played his scenes with a very similar delivery as with 'In Bruges' but this is not a bad thing because it is a Martin McDonagh film. Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken were also good but they never had to do anything out of the ordinary so while they were great we have seen them do this stuff before. The 4 woman in this, Abbie Cornish, Gabourey Sidibe, Helena Mattsson and Olga Kurylenko are all good actors and I've seen a lot of thier work so even though they aren't on screen much when they are you won't forget it. It was a nice touch using well known actors in small roles especially Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Pitt at the start of the movie.
Direction: Martin McDonagh wrote and directed this with his wicked sense of humour which I think is amazing. I enjoy his style and hope he never strays too far from it. He's had 2 out of 2 so far. Production: Martin McDonagh made this for $15 million which is the same money as 'In Bruges' but an even better cast. This was a sleek operation with decent special fx and make-up, sets, music and the script was the best thing in the movie. It was snappy, funny and inteligent. 15 mil for this cast and a killer of a script is pretty awsome if you ask me. Conclusion: This film was not perfect but I loved it can't wait for Martin McDonagh to bring out a new one. A funny and violent flik with the cast all using thier own accents (which helped).
Score: 8.5/10… Expand
Jan 20, 2013McDonagh's latest film, "Seven Psychopaths," looks to be another over those satirical and incredibly violent action movies on the surface, but underneath it all is a surprisingly moving story about friendship. Some will say that using violence to tell a story like this is utterly hypocritical, but they are clearly not aware of McDonagh's plays, and they probably haven't even seen his previous movie, "In Bruges." All those works do have a high level of blood and violence in them, but they are not simply designed to shock people. McDonagh instead uses those elements to get at a deeper truth about life and the people closest to us, and this is not always apparent to those who view his work from a distance.
An alcoholic writer with limited imagination, Marty (Colin Farrell) spends more time slumming with hyper pal Billy (Sam Rockwell) than he does tending to his own professional woes. Stuck trying to pen a screenplay called "Seven Psychopaths", Marty finds himself caught up in Billy's mess, when the latter and his associate Hans (Christopher Walken) are fingered for kidnapping the dog of ruthless mobster Charlie (Woody Harrelson). Forced to flee with the pooch in tow, Marty finds a surprising amount of inspiration in being hunted, especially given that his company, Hans and Billy, may themselves also be psychopaths. The entire film is centered around the kidnapping of Bonny, a shih-tzu belonging to chief mobster Charlie (Woody Harrelson), and here's where all hell breaks loose. The violent nature of Charlie, usually involving shooting anyone he encounters without remorse trails the trio of Marty, Billy and Hans, inflicting collateral damage as he gets closer to retrieving his dog. The conversations between characters are in rapid fire, containing a wealth of information, anecdotes, and heavy on black comedy.
The cast is rich in recognizable names, and that transfers smoothly into the quality of acting. This time Colin Farrell is the straight man for McDonagh (he was the opposite in "In Bruges") and it's just the performance the Irishman needed to deliver after the summer's lethargic "Total Recall" rehash. Rockwell and Walken are of tremendous value as the canine thieves, Walken bringing his turn down to a Zen whisper, while Rockwell is entertaining as hyperactively playful, despite his murderous tendencies lying just below the surface. Where " Seven Psychopaths" begins to unravel and lose it's way is in the third act. For the first two acts, the film is wild, exhilarating and just plain fun. The last act slows down and the tone of the film is thrown off entirely, and rather suddenly, the film ventures out of dark comedy and into the realm of something else entirely. Sure, some of the dry wit still remains - but that is about it. It irrevocably changes the film, and ultimately turns what could have been a great film into "provides some laughs and worth checking out". Shortly after the film begins and Farrell begins working on the screenplay, and it becomes very clear that almost every line will refer to a later theme or event. It is ingenious at first, much like most satires are. But its amusement wears thin about halfway into the film, and by the third act my intrest and attention diminishes as it stumbles into a finale that feels unsatisfying. Great cast, worth checking out and entertaining enough if one can stomach the relentless carnage.… Expand
Jan 13, 2013Im not sure the people who gave this terrible movie a good metacritic score watched the same one I did. It felt like a budget Tarantino movie without the witty dialogue. Art impersonating real life....didnt Colin Farrell have a real life drinking problem? I didnt care about any of these characters and I just got the feeling that they all did this movie for the paycheck. Possibly the humor is in the dark receses of black humor...but I just didnt find this movie funny, redeeming or entertaining. Two hours of my life I will never see again....… Expand
Jan 11, 2013Seven psychopaths is one of the best comedies in 2012. This film is truly awesome! It´s brutal, violent, filled with blood and also hilarious. The opening scene (with Michael Pitt and Michael Stuhlbarg) is fantastic, it is very tarantinesc and already sets the tone for the film. The sequence about the journey of Tom Waits´s character and his wife is also brilliant! The acting in this movie is great, Sam Rockwell was very funny and the only scene starring Gabourey Sidibe is amazing. The script is one of the most original and funny things in 2012. Seven Psychopaths is a truly entertaining and smart film.… Expand
Jan 9, 2013This movie can get very weird at parts, but all in all a very good movie. The film kept me very entertained throughout. Oh and one more thing. Sam Rockwell is a freakin genius!
Jan 7, 2013This picture is nothing i have watched before. This movie entertains on many levels. It asks the question about whats normal and whats not. Who are the normal people who say this man is a psychopath and this man is not? Why does the audience like movies about psychopaths at all? Do we really think they are more interesting than the people we see on the street? Are we so thirsty to see violence? Is our life so boring, that we have to see people being brutally killed? This movie shows the psychopath in your self.… Expand
Dec 29, 2012I wanted to like this more but while it has some fun characters with a few good scenes it lacks a real cohesive plot to bring it all together. Walken is great value along with Harrelson and Rockwell gives far more to a role which I felt lacked thought. Its fun but never really grabs you. Also for a black comedy it lacks really quotable material - not a crime in itself, but something I noticed afterwards. Worth a look but dont expect too much.… Expand
Dec 1, 2012I think this movie will be one of my guiltly pleasures from now on. It's suble dark comedy can reach almost any audience member, unless they have no sense of humor. The characters are well developed in their own unique way. This movie really comes together at the end and gives us a look into the unexpected Hollywood format. Altogether this movie is a fun viewing!
Nov 26, 2012I got a kick out of this movie! Very well-scripted, and I never could guess what was going to happen next. This movie left me with a deep sense of satisfaction, plot points that opened in the beginning found the perfect closure in the movie's climax. Martin McDonagh's generous gift to movie audiences this fall, sealed together with a pretty bow.
Nov 16, 2012Seven Psychopaths delivers weird but fun experience. It was remind me bit experience when was watching Cabin In The Woods. Movie writing at its best? You can name it but it wasn't really work to me.
Nov 5, 2012What a crazy fun ride Martin McDonaugh's Seven Psychopaths is. The originality and creativity of it put a smile on my face that never left for 110 minutes.
Oct 25, 2012The title refers to the cast of the characters and to the title of the film script one of them is writing. Therein lies the key to enjoying the film. The characters belong in a tough realistic crime film, but they behave like intellectuals discussing the probabilities and logic of fiction. Hence, the dialogue is a constant counterpoint between the expected cliches of gangster flicks and the arguments of a poststructuralist. If you think there are humorous possibilities in this, you'll like the film. If not, not. I liked it a lot (all the actors are in the know and in the vein), but it is a bit too long. Imagine Woody Allen remaking The Asphalt Jungle, and you've got it.… Expand
Oct 22, 2012Martin McDonagh's "In Bruge" was a darkly funny comedy. This new effort lacks the comic spark, but it tries real hard. A screenwriter (Colin Farrell) gets entangled with wacky crooks when his friends (Sam Rockwell & Christopher Walken) kidnap a gangster
Oct 20, 2012Seven Psychopaths had a clever premise, and then weaved a story within a story that was a lot of fun. Great cast, fun premise, and while gory, the gore is done in a comedic way, so it does not gross one out.
Oct 20, 2012Having seen and loved "In Bruges" Seven Psychopaths was one of my most anticipated movies. I'm happy to say its everything I had hoped for and more. From the opening, this movie kicks off with a great start having a very Tarantino style beginning. With such an original and great screenplay you can't go wrong. We than get introduce to our seven psychopaths. The performances are great, Colin Farrell should stick to these small roles, more specifically comedic roles, before I saw In Bruges I disliked him as an actor none of his movies appealed to me. He works so well as the lead protagonist in this role. This is probably one of , if not the best Sam Rockwell performances. He has played this crazy character before but its more effective in this particular role. He is unpredictable, the funniest and the best psychopath of them all with out a doubt the star of this movie. Christopher Walken is at his best. If you just enjoy him in any role, you will love him in this. He plays the calm and wise religious man but very hysterical at times another scene stealing performance. Woody Harrelson is the enraged mob boss who will literally stop at nothing until he gets his little Sh-ih Tzu back. Tom Waits plays probably the most psychotic of them all. Everyone works fantastically well in this movie. I have not a single bad thing to say about them. The woman in the cast though, are basically eye candy. Martin McDonagh is one of the best up an coming Writer/Director. If he keeps this up one day he may be considered among the best script writers of our time. This movie does have elements of Pulp Fiction where everyone is just having random conversations that sometimes end up with people dying horrifically. Yes, there are multitudes of gore involved in the death scenes. Everything is so unpredictable with plenty of laughs and flawlessly made from both behind and in front of the camera. Seven Psychopaths is another "best of the year" and the funniest film I've seen so far in the year.… Expand
Oct 19, 2012This movie is indeed vicious drivel. It is nothing like the Trailer. Blood, guts, and gore. I feel cheated that I was expecting a comedy and was subjected to such trash. If you like the movie Trailer, you will not like the move.
Oct 18, 2012The film is not devoid of VERY funny moments and terrific acting performances (Rockwell & Walken in particular are solid), but it's just overlong, bloated, and meandering. Several of the sequences are flat-out hilarious and creative, but they're strung together far too loosely. I can't figure out if it was re-written too often or not nearly enough. And yes, for the squeamish, it's very violent and gory - things I normally go for, especially the "Scanners" / "Wild at Heart" shot. There's a right way to see this film, but I don't think the theater is it. I can imagine the Brad Pitt character in True Romance getting baked watching this on his Betamax in his cramped little West LA apartment.

Amazing cast, amazing dialogue, amazing plot, amazing exectution. Need i say more? This movie made me laugh harder than any film i've seen in a long time. Woody Harrelson is just the greatest, as well as Christopher Walken. I don't even have to say more, if you love violent comedies then you'll love Seven Psychopaths, enough said. This is a must see. 10/10… Expand
Oct 16, 2012Some movies are difficult to review. This is one of them. The film is quirky and politically incorrect, which would normally mean I would love it. It is supposed to be a comedy, however, and I never laughed out loud. Not once. There were other people in the theater that were laughing so hard I thought they would split a gut. That's why you are going to see reviews that are all over the place. Maybe I'm just getting old and jaded but it just didn't seem that fresh and new or funny. The performances are good across the board. Christopher Walken in particular is noteworthy. The violence is graphic, so be prepared for that. In order for me to have liked it more it would have had to be better written like the Coen Brothers film it is striving to be. It's not in that league.… Expand
Oct 15, 2012Seven Psychopaths is one of the most interesting and funny movies of this year. The development of the movie is really smart, all the movie have funny scenes. The performances of the cast, wow are awesome. The screenplay is interesting. Seven Psychopaths is one of the most funny movies of this year.
Oct 14, 2012Great movie in every way. Charlie Kaufman meets Terintino. It is a great combination of clever plot lines, great characters, and cartoon violence to keep you laughing on the edge if your seat.
Oct 12, 2012What an unexpected treat! Very unconventional, off-beat, hilarious. The performances are top notch and just fun to watch. (Christopher Walken is the man! And Sam Rockwell just kills it in this movie.) Actually, it's my favorite movie of the year so far.
Oct 12, 2012Seven Psychopaths is an OK film. Compare it to In Bruges and it becomes somewhat of a disappointment. It's highly reminiscent of something Tarantino would be behind. Also, don't expect an In Bruges performance from Farell. Rockwell seemed to be the guy worth getting excited for. It's no In Bruges -- not even close -- but go see it. You'll enjoy it.
Enormously entertaining, endlessly quotable, perfectly cast and packed full of the richest acting you'll see from an ensemble cast all year, but the result is ever so slightly hollow.
Oct 19, 2012Engagingly off-centre, like Charlie Kaufman taking down Quentin Tarantino, this sunbaked shaggy-dog story is a place-holder film for McDonagh, and often closer to chaos than it is to genius.
Seven Psychopaths is the kind of movie that can lift someone who's had a crappy day out of a funk. It's an unstable mess filled with lunatic invention and bizarre nonsense, and some of it is so spontaneous that it's elating. [22 Oct. 2012, p.88]
