Haven't seen a single one of those movies.

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along

Of the two I saw, Melancholia was very good. Haywire? Not so much^ - Road Warrior 15:09:19 12/17/12 (7)

  I agree, Haywire is more a guilty pleasure type. It's the only one of it's ilk on the list. I had the same sense of it when I included it. It's formulaic but well-done, I think. A mindless romp. Fun. And, what a cast!
  
  I started writing mini-reviews but ran short of time and rather than do it halfway I erased them. I decided a fuller list sans review is better than a spare list with what amounts to just more subjectivity. Maybe I'll come back and add further guidance.
  
  It's a chore after awhile to find the obscure ones worthy of attention. I thought I would be generous hearted and save you a little work. ;-)

  - I liked Haywire... - mkuller 20:34:17 12/17/12 (2)
    ...she's actually a mixed martial arts champ.
    
    We belong to the Ferrari-Carano wine club because my wife loves their chardonnay.
    
    She's also Don Carano's daughter.
    - Very much liked it, it's realistic fights put most similar efforts to shame. I think we'll see her again. nt - tinear 11:55:57 12/19/12 (0)

      She handled herself very ably with all the heavyweights in the film. Based on this, I think she has the makings of an action star.

  - Yes, Haywire definitely a good representative of its genre - Road Warrior 17:29:49 12/17/12 (1)
    The two I mentioned were so far apart genre wise it actually wasn't fair comparing the two. Dunst's haunting performance really stuck with my own self and wife as well.
