Write down the movie you saw recently and a short review for it.
The Happening 2008 - My parents rented it, I didn't expect much and wasn't disappointed only because I knew it wouldn't contain much. There were a couple of cool scenes, such as the two grandmothers kitting with gas masks.
A Clockwork Orange - I actually never seen it all the way through so I decided I would. It's a great movie as most say. I had to watch it in three parts because of my sleepiness recently but it was worth it.
Party Monster - My girlfriend's favorite movie, I watched it with her. I liked it but only because it's based on a true story. Though I might find "Party Monster: The Shockumentary" a little better because I'm always a little suspicious of movies based on true stories, because they can change so much.
2LDK - My friend loves watching low budget Asian movies, he brought it over. The first 40 minutes leads up to a 20 minute fight scene between the two female main characters. It was decent, the special effects were awful but that usually makes it more funny.
The Host - What ever you do, watch the English dub because the dubbing is awful. It's like Godzilla but with better special effects.
Wall-E - Movie rules.
Catch Me If You Can. it was great. the end
Twilight - Pretty cool if you know nothing about the book
The Shawshank Redemption
I dunno, I just felt like watching it, so I did.
Quantum of Solace.
I wished Camille died.
Quantum of Solace.
it was okay.
28 Days Later and Dazed and Confused.
God, I love Dazed and Confused.
Waking Life. I saw it years ago, but I just recently bought it for $10. I had forgotten how good it is.
Tropic Thunder - Pretty funny, lots of actors in it
Quantum of Solace - pretty intense
WALL-E IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER
Twilight - I enjoyed it. Whatever
Max Payne - I really liked really liked it

Anyways, great movie and I had an urge to appreciate you watching it. I did a paper on it last year.

it was a disney movie
starring miley cyrus and john travolta as a talking dog

What
It's a good movie, but it's pretty damn far from being the best movie ever, still. Besides, I liked Ratatouille more.
Just finished watching Wall-E for the 5th time on DVD, I love that damn movie
X-Men United: It came on TV so I watched it, had nothing better to do.

Have you seen Slacker (1991)? Its the same idea as Waking Life.

Yeah, it's one of my faves. Def. in my top 10.
I haven't seen it, but I will now.
Be Kind, Rewind - I wanted to see it because it was directed by Michel Gondry, he also directed The Science of Sleep and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. I'm kind of disappointed in the movie, I didn't expect too much. I loved the other two movies and have yet to see Human Nature. There were some cool scenes but overall it was a pretty lacking movie.
Into the Wild is my next movie I'd like to see, as well as Slacker.
Saw Hot Fuzz today.
Actually kinda interesting and entertaining, the end was just a huge action scene. baddood;

I'm trying to watch all the Wes Anderson films that I have missed...
Rushmore tonight!
I saw Twilight.
I enjoyed it.
Saw The Dark Knight again yesterday. It's even better the second time.
I watched The Virgin Suicides last night. It was very good, and a bit saddening.
Tropic Thunder - Wow, that was a sub-par movie. Rambo (2008) is sitting next to my TV as well as 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Quote from: Wrenchninja on November 28, 2008, 06:28:06 AM
Twilight - Pretty cool if you know nothing about the book
yeah, saw this with christy saturday.
Also, I recently saw a movie on IFC called Edmond.
It starred William H. Macy as what he seems to play in almost every other movie. A well-mannered polite guy. Then he ends up in a city and all hell breaks loose.*
It was amazing. It was the first movie I think that actually kept me on the edge of my seat. Seriously.
The whole time I thought the movie was going to end, because I couldn't figure out where they were going after what just happened.
also, it's kinda funny in a dark/twisted way.
also also, it's based on a play by the same name.
*missed the first 10 minutes so I assume that this is what happens

I watched Miller's Crossing last night. It's a Coen Bros. movie so I was expecting something good, but it was boring and fairly shitty. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for it.
Watched Slacker.
I like the movie, just a movie about random conversations with people. The director has created some characters many people can relate to. Not as pseudo-intellectual feeling as Waking Life, though I like both.
watched Transporter 3 last week. it was really good.
don't come here complaining about the story sucking, because if you thought the story would be good, you're deluding yourself.
Deception - I got it in the mail, I didn't remember putting it on my list. It was good, a little "duh." I don't recommended trying to watch it but if it comes upon you it's worth the time.
The Shining (1990) - I've decided to watch all of Stanley Kubrick's movies from Lolita and above. I've seen it before as a child but it was great to watch it again. Some of the scenes are just so memorable, the child on his big wheel riding down the hotel. The sound of the wheels as they drive on the carpet and on the hard wood. The music is so amazing, it makes you feel the way the scenes only hint at.
Angel-A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel-A) - Pretty great movie, directed by Luc Besson who also directed The Fifth Element. It's a story of a guy who is in debt and goes to off himself when he finds a woman doing the same. There were some really cool shots of the two just walking, shes supposed to be really really tall though shes is only 5'10", the main character, the male, is just really short (5'5".) The film is in a black and white without reason besides artistic maybe.
I ordered a few movies from Amazon: Kill Bill 1 and 2 (Blu-ray for $30 combined, I suggest everyone who has blu-ray do the same), The Fifth Element, Reservoir Dogs.
I'm trying to collect all of Quentin Tarantino's and Stanley Kubrick's work.
last week clucky and i watched 'the ballad of jack and rose'
now we shall watch hot fuzz
City of God
Trainspotting - I've read Filth by Irvine Welsh, the author of the book Trainspotting. The movie seems to fit the style of Irvine Welsh. Scottish dialogue. Some scenes just always seem to impress me, the toilet scene is just awesome. I always forget about him traveling down into it.
2001: A Space Odyssey - Great movie, though I can how someone can dislike it. It's a bit slow though the scene of Bowman dismantling HAL was great. The deep red room in which Bowman floats around in while HAL is asking what he is doing. Another of my favorite scenes was the monkeys as the first one discovers how to use tools and they overcome the other group of monkeys.
Young Frankenstein - This movie was great... until they created "the creature." I've read Frankenstein and though this movie has so many mistakes within it about the original book (it's based off of the movies of course) it was awesome until "it" came to life. "It" wasn't a good character, no personality, not funny, didn't add anything to the movie. Now Frankenstein's assistant Igor was awesome, and Frankenstein himself was great (Gene Wilder who also played Willy Wonka and surprisingly is still alive.)
Me and You and Everyone we Know - Some great ass scenes. A little out of place bits but those bits are great. For example:

LOL I've seen that many times before but I've never seen the movie.
I saw 4 Christmases it sucked my D.
oh and I got a Wall E watch too, but I immediately ripped the watch part out, and then I don't know what happened to it.
SLC punk.
it's soo old.
Spun - Directed by Jonas Ã…kerlund. He's directed lots of music videos and this was his debut film. At parts I got really anxious because of all the scenes switching back and forth. I really liked "Frisbee," because I could relate to his hobbies. Video games and metal, though he also did meth. He also wore some cool hats. It was a good movie, though it wasn't exactly well thought out and didn't really contain an actual story, just some plots that intertwined. Had some funny camera work, like a wrestler (on tv) gave a fully facial expression to a character's quirky statement, as if the wrestler was reacting to that character.

I know most people say it was not terrible, just sub-par.
But for some reason I just honestly thought it was the worst movie I ever saw. idk why, I guess a combination of just like it having literally nothing creative or original, absolutely terrible pacing, and that god-awful ending.
I truly didn't enjoy one second of it. And it was the only time I ever actually wanted to just walk out of the theater.

It's a "see it once and it's good" movie. Even though it has Will Smith, I probably won't watch it again. I expected more, but it wasn't bad.

Why did you cry?
Just saw the Dark Knight for the first time... It was good, but definitely not the best movie ever
The Fifth Element - I watched half of it so far, it's not as good as people say it is and not as good as I remembered. Has some cool things and the visuals are just fun to view. The lady is pretty hot too and you do see a little bit of her itty bitty titties. Planning on watching the second half soon.

Old Boy - Great movie, watched it in Korean with English subs then in English dubs. The scene where he cuts out his tongue is so fucking hilarious in English. I can't say it's one of my favorite movies but seeing it made me a better person.
Watch it in Korean if you want to take it serious, watch it in English if you want a comedy.

Titan AE - I saw last night. Had a mix between 2D animation and 3D CGI. Made for a silly mix. Hilariously awful lyrics and soundtrack but overall it was a decent teenager's sci-fi movie.

saw Transporter 3 and The Day the Earth Stood Still. I thought both were good.
A Scanner Darkly - Such a weird movie, I think it's because of the hard to follow plot and the animation. I love the animation and some of the characters, specifically Charles Freck.
Into the Wild - Such a sad movie. Based on a true story too, I can't say it's an amazing movie, but the story is (only because it's true.) Being able to throw everything away and start a life discovering nature. The end note made my hair stand up, it showed a picture of the actual Chris. Chris was a little too sure of himself though.

I heard the book was way better than the movie.
End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones
Fantastic documentary on the Ramones. It really made me start to appreciate they're music. It also talked about people who were inspired by The Ramones like Kirk Hammet of Metallica and Rob Zombie.
The last movie I watched was Dog Day Afternoon, which was quite entertaining, but not amazing, to be honest.
I just finished downloading The Onion Movie, and I'm downloading the Big Lebowski as I type this. I'll be watching both sometime after school with some friends.
Tropic Thunder. I thought it was really funny, but my friend didn't because he got confused as to what was going on.
Less recent than this though was In Bruges, which is fucking amazing/hilarious. I love that movie so much.

Thats usually how it is. I doubt I'd read the book, the story is cool that he was inspired to run to nature because of awesome books like
Call of the Wild and
White Fang, both I read as a child and loved.
Dracula (1992) - aka Bram Stroker's Dracula - It was good, more of a love story then a horror film. Based most closely on the book than any other movie of the Dracula sort.
"A Clockwork Orange" has just been watched by Clucky and I.

The Day The Earth Stood Still. It was a pretty solid movie. If it were out on DVD, I'd give it a rent. If you're interested in a little sci-fi action, this is a go see.

I saw The Spirit last night. I didn't know what to expect because all I'd seen was the trailer and Frank Miller's name, so I was expecting something stylized and moderately good.
FUCK
I WAS WRONG
IT WAS HORRIBLE
Roger Ebert gave it 1/10 and said calling the characters cardboard would be a disgrace to a fine packing material. I agree. Also the visual stylization wasn't even very good and Samuel L. Jackson was just stupid and I don't even know who the actor for Spirit was but he almost made me leave because he was so bad.
It is truly a disgrace to film and I don't see how a man goes from Sin City to this
When I got home I watched Matrix Revolution, which I realized I've actually never seen. I think I'd always thought Reloaded was the last one. I'm glad I watched it, it was a good ending and a fairly good movie.
28 Weeks Later - What the shit? They're obviously a take on the zombie movie genre. It had some cool scenes, the helicopter. But fuck it was really about how the government would fuck us over if there were zombies. It reminded me of The Blindness but with zombies and not cool.
Horton Hears a Who! - It had its moments, some of the characters just pissed me off, the gothic kid was a bit lame. The monkeys were fucking awesome, jesus. Horton had some great scenes but most everyone in Who-ville were just bad characters. Of course this is a kids movie, I liked it overall.
Sukiyaki Western Django - What the shit. It has the wackiness of Kill Bill, but not the cool storyline. The movie is overall just a beautiful looking piece of work with little story. I ultimately watched it because Quentin Tarantino acted in it. It's a good movie.
Day of the Dead (1985) - I watched it a long time ago, but not all the way through. Bubs is awesome. Special effects were so fucking awesome in this movie compared to the previous three (Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead.) I'd have to say it's my favorite of the three.
Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Very respectable movie but I feel that it could have been so much better. The zombies are just blue faced people. It seems like the last 30 minutes were thrown in there as a way for them to escape from the mall. It's a good movie and mostly just fun to watch with a friend just so you can make fun of it.
Marley & Me - I saw it with my girlfriend, mom, and dad. My mom wanted to see a happy uplifting movie for x-mas. As the movie was ending my girlfriend and mom were crying because it was so sad. I admit it was quite sad though. There were scatters of funny parts but mostly it was just a movie about people being angry and sad.
Purple Rain - This is one of Prince's movies. One of the songs can be seen in the end of Clerks 2. The music in between the scenes were a band plays on stage are just awful, it's like a movie about music but some of it is just so awfully cheesy. I do like the movie but maybe only because of the 80s feeling it gives off.
The Silence of the Lambs - Awesome movie. Hannibal is such a great character, though the clues he gives no one would be able to guess them as good as the main character Clarence. I'm planning on watching more of the Hannibal movies.
28 Weeks Later is one of the movies I've seen but never rated on IMDB or Netflix, because I have such mixed feelings about it. I dislike it a bit more than I like it though.
Last night I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire (downloaded a leaked screener DVD, I love the people who leak those), and I regret waiting so long. It's about as good as everyone says it is and not much more... definitely in my top 10 of the year; not in my top 10 ever. It's a pretty moving story and would actually be too serious, I think, if it didn't have that Danny Boyle flair -- ie soundtrack featuring MIA, feel good romance story, disturbingly funny moments involving shit, choreographed Bollywood-style dance number in credits. So overall a 9/10 from me for a unique, insightful, and well-produced movie.
Movies I will watch soon: Milk, Sukiyaki Western Django (finally), Che (Steven Soderbergh; it's a 4 hour long Benicio Del Toro fest), and some indie movies that made a bunch of top 10 of the year lists that I want to see.

Sukiyaki Western Django is very weird. A beautiful looking movie with some awesome parts but the story is mediocre.
Planet Terror - What the shit this was awesome. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. So many well done zombie-like monsters with great make-up. One of the best zombie-like movies I've ever seen.
Bender's Game
Finally watched Sukiyaki Western Django last night. It's an Asian (Japanese, I think) spaghetti western co-starring Quentin Tarantino, which means it must be awesome.
The beginning is discouraging, because it's bizarre, but the rest is incredible. Definitely in my top 5 ever for cinematography because of some of the best color grading I've ever seen, as well as very good shot design, sets, etc.
The acting was unique because it was all Asian actors speaking broken English... the movie is hard to watch without English subtitles. It's weird because there's sad and emotional parts, but they're delivered in Engrish. Sounds stupid but it adds character.
Overall it gets a 37.5/40 on my Top Movies scale, and I'm excited to watch some of the director's other movies. By the way, this one is worth watching just for the Tarantino cameos
Synecdoche, New York. One of the best movies to come out this year, if you can figure out what the hell is going on.

Overall it gets a 37.5/40 on my Top Movies scale, and I'm excited to watch some of the director's other movies. By the way, this one is worth watching just for the Tarantino cameos
The movie is beautiful looking, it really is.
But the story isn't that great. I got it on Blu-ray and I am pretty pleased. The Audition rules too, same director.
Eagle Eye was awesome.
I watched The Silence of the Lambs last night for an hour. So far so good.
Watched Gomorra last night, a recent film from Italy about modern crime families. It's pretty good, very indie production but very well-done, and good acting... engaging story, as most crime movies tend to have. I recommend it, it's a bit hard to find though.
Step Brothers. Obviously shit, but I can't deny I laughed my ass off at the part when Will Ferrel's brother and family were singing Sweet Child O' Mine in the car.

Johnny Mnemonic. Keanu Reeves must have been sniffing a lot of glue back then.
Step Brothers was dumb. Thought it would be good despite Will Ferrell, but I was definitely wrong.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind - After watching this and 2001: A Space Odyssey I get the feeling that back then in the 60s and 70s movies could be very slow and the scenes could drag on. Both movies are very popular and both have very slow dragging scenes, though in 2001 it sets the isolate feeling while in Close Encounters it doesn't add anything but length to the movie. Watch only for cultural purposes, not for entertainment.

I watched What Dreams May Come the other day.
I really liked it. I thought that the concept of the movie was well thought out.
I seem to like Robin Williams in dramatic roles. He was in another movie called The Final Cut that I liked very much.
Um I saw Valkyrie a few days ago. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg was a good friend of my grandfather. My family from the same small town as his. bassir;
Also, I'm watching The Kite Runner in history. It's good, some parts are sad though. saddood; I heard the book was a lot better, like usual.

The Man with the Screaming Brain - Directed by Bruce Campbell. I love Army of Darkness as much as anyone but this movie was terrible. One of the worst movies ever. About a guy who has a brain transplant and wants to kill the girl who killed him in the first place. Steaming pile of crap, The Happening was better than this pile.
Saw The Strangers.
The only really scary part in my opinion was towards the beginning when LIv Tyler was in the kitchen smoking and you see the guy walk in in the way back of the scene.
Also I kinda liked the ending. It actually made you think about the murderers and not the victims after the movie is over.

So much suspense build up to that? Awful.
We finished watching Sybil today. I almost got teary-eyed at the end. :'(
Last night, a saw a film, if i recall it was A horror film
21 Grams - What an awesomely sad movie. It was really a good movie but entirely sad. It's one of those movies that introduces you to characters who don't yet make sense and you don't know how they're related until way late in the movie. Done pretty well. I liked it quite a bit.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - I read the book before I watched the movie. The aliens are done pretty well and so are the mice. I love the intro but of course the movie left much out from the book and added a love interest of the main character's. I liked it but wish it stuck to the book a lot more. It's an okay movie.
Just saw Valkyrie(sp?) today. I enjoyed it.
I saw Igor two days ago. Expected it to suck, it really wasn't bad at all.
I saw Life is Beautiful the other day. It's an Italian movie about Italian Jews during the Holocaust. It was pretty good.
I saw Amusement. It was pretty cook.
I saw "the Three burials of melquiades estrada," and thought it was really good after the first 45 minutes. It's about this Border Patrol guy that accidently kills an illegal immigrant who's the good friend of Tommy Lee Jones' character. So then to get revenge, he drags the Border Patrol guy down to Mexico with the corpse of his friend to bury him in his home town. It has some pretty interesting comments to be made on the cultural clash between scenes in Texas at the beginning of the movie and the ones in Mexico later on.
Kiki's Delivery Service... yeah. It was fine, other than not much of anything ever happening, the random awkward laughing every 5 minutes, and that god-awful cat. It was just embarrassing, as well as disheartening.

The Boondock Saints
Quote from: Pancake Patriot link=topic=41356.msg708520#msg708520 date=1232506161
The Boondock Saints
YES
The Unborn - The scene where the kid is all mangled up in the medicine cabinet scared my girlfriend to death. Mediocre.
Zombi Holocaust - Lots of similarities with this movie and Day of the Dead. A scientist that is testing on Zombies. This one is testing for eternal life though. Not as well done as Day of the Dead but it's still a good movie. The movie was made in the 70s too so it's not too far off.
I watched "Iphigenia" in my drama class. Very sad Greek tragedy done in modern Greek with English subtitles. For those of you unfamiliar with the myth, it's about Agamemnon (king of Mycenae) having to sacrifice his eldest daughter, Iphigenia, so the gods will give the giant Greek fleet the proper wind to sail to Troy to commence the Trojan War.
Also watched "Four Weddings and a Funeral" in my film class. Surprisingly decent, actually. Very Americanized because it's got a "Hollywood feel" to it. But still quite British. I really liked the delivery of the poem "Funeral Blues" in the funeral section of the movie. Very emotional.
Burn After Reading. I didn't really care for it, but I liked Brad Pitt's performance a lot.
Weren't the last few scenes of that movie just sickening?
I forgot about this movie!
Battle Royale - What a great movie. Not as much gore as I craved for, and it is the right type of movie to insert gore into. The story was pretty good too, students are put onto an island and only one is suppose to leave, they all have to fight for their life.

Salò , also known as The 120 Days of Sodom .
It's a pretty sick movie , definitely up there with the most "disturbing" flicks I have seen .

Kind of stupid, but it was ok
Saw "The Strangers", what a piece of shit. Was not even scary or anything. And was that "Are you a sinner?" part supposed to be clever? So unneeded, wasted an hour and 30 minutes of my life.
i don't see why anyone gets excited for horror movies. the same old shit happens. everyone is hyping over that one movie with the mutant freaks with the dead twin or whatever. how can people not tell it's going to bed bad? so bad plz

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything - Three drag queens go on a road trip and have a grand old time. Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo are all in drag through the whole movie. It's pretty silly but I did enjoy it just because of the huge actors in drag is just silly.

Pineapple Express - What a fucking weird movie. I'm surprised I haven't seen more movies like it, over the top action movie with every last thing going wrong. I'm sure the movie would have been better if the actors were better but overall it's a good movie. Lots and lots of weed.
Bought a stack of dvd's that included:
A Scanner Darkly
Children of Men

Watched half of Sin City. Quite the monotone deep voice narrator movie.
Sin City - Slightly disappointed in the over stylized artwork with lacking special effects. I guess you can say that the special effects, like when that guy slaps the girl so hard that she flies with the chair, are comic book-like. The story is good yet the ending leaves a lot unfinished. Of course there is a sequel coming out and a third too.

I saw Taken last night.
I fucking loved it.
We watched Fireproof in criminal justice because we were studying marriage laws.
It had more Jesus in it than The Passion of the Christ.
Saw "Taken," really predictable and mediocre, though my friends said it was "AWESOME!!!!"
I saw "The Crying Game" on Tuesday. Haha, holy shit, did not see that plot twist coming.
Great movie though.
I saw The Uninvited yesterday.
won't too bad. David Strathain (I think his name is, he played the dad) did an excellent job.
I watched Rachel Getting Married last night after a friend urged me to because he thought it was really good.
I had had it confused with some other movie and didn't know it was a) indie b) Jonathan Demme c) Anne Hathaway.
It was very good, a solid 8/10... great story, spectacular acting by Anne Hathaway (I am very glad she has gone from The Princess Diaries to actual acting, additionally she's quite pretty); my only complaint is the editing which in some parts could have been better. The filming reminded me of Aronofsky and other good indie shot-with-a-handicam-without-sets-or-money and it was excellent.
So I recommend it... it's a good drama for any audience.
Coraline - Pretty awesome. The 3D was very subtle most of the time and was a nice touch. I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait for the next three movies from Pixar, all three of them are in 3D. Up, then The Bear and the Bow, then Newt. Coraline felt much like another dimension with very dream-like characters and a very dream feeling because of the 3D.
Taken - I liked the movie but it felt like 007 but not as well thought out. An FBI guy goes out and kills 3,125,215 people for his daughter. Very very very action packed but without thought. Just straight action.
Glad to hear Coraline is good, I love that book (even though it's a children's novel, mostly...) and have been looking forward to the movie for awhile. (Book is by Neil Gaiman, author of other awesome things.)
Yesterday I got KONTROLL from Netflix, which is a Hungarian thriller (I guess) that takes place entirely in the Budapest subway system. It was surprisingly good... I liked it a lot. Acting was good, story was original, filming was great especially for what I guess was a first-time director. I'd recommend it.

I watched "The Full Monty" yesterday. It was good, but I don't see why so many people rave about it like it's the best comedy in existence. It was better than most comedies, yeah, but still pretty average on the "good movie scale" if you ask me.
Kung Fu Panda - I didn't finish it so I can't "review" it in full. Decent movie that I don't see many adults finding it as humor endowed as other movies of the nature like Horton Hears a Who or Cars.
Bubba Ho-Tep - After seeing Bruce Campell's The Man with the Screaming Brain I dreaded seeing another movie with him in it. Bubba Ho-Tep is a story of a man in a retirement home who thinks he is Elvis Presley and his black friend who thinks he is J.F.K. go to fight a mummy. The special effects are decent and the story is a little wacky. Lots of penis jokes.
The Terminator - So many people died.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Jesus Christ I thought nothing would kill that guy. Bigger explosives but not as many deaths. Good movie.
The Eraser - What a great movie, it was the most cliche action movie but was still good. The story was well thought out. Not as cool as Total Recall but it might be better than The Terminator (not T2.)

First Blood (aka Rambo 1) - Just so you don't get confused this is the oldest Rambo movie, not the 2008 movie. It was quite a bit different than that I had imagined. Rambo, a Vietnam veteran, is hassled by cops (who are fucking assholes by the way) when he runs away from them and gets in a little war of his own, literary. It's my favorite out of the first two movies and the fourth (named Rambo.) I've yet to watch Rambo 3.
First Blood: Part II (aka Rambo 2) - I didn't like it as much as the first because Rambo seemed invincible in this one while the first he was just fighting cops, this one he takes on Russia and Vietnam. The first movie showed how misunderstood he was as a war hero while this one shows how much of a hero he is.
Rambo series:
1982 - First Blood (aka Rambo 1)
1985 - First Blood: Part II (aka Rambo 2)
1988 - Rambo III
2008 - Rambo (aka Rambo 4)
Just got back from Friday the 13th.
No it was not incredibly amazing.
Yes I found it entertaining.
Hell, it was a slasher movie. There's not much to it.
Premarital sex, drinking, killing.
I did like how they stayed true to some things from the original movies, though. Such as the beginning showing his mother and the councilor, or how he begins with a burlap sack instead of the mask like in the second movie. Just little things like that.
There were some unexpected actions from Jason Voorhees that were a bit of a surprise for me. He actually ran in the movie. Never do I recall Jason Voorhees running. He was a creeper, following behind slowly, who always managed to get ahead.
He also apparently has the ability to shoot a bow with pretty damn good accuracy.
Slumdog Millionaire (or should I say, Slumdog MILLONAER?) - It was great for a romance and still generally good. I finally watched it after the recommendations of numerous friends (many of which claimed it was the best movie they had seen ever). While it didn't live up to my expectations, it was still pretty good.
From this moment on, spoilers.
The main things I didn't like were:
[spoiler]
* The appearance of Rama
* The whole atmosphere of the second half of the movie.
With regards to the appearance of Rama, I love the symbolism. I understand that Rama's harsh tests of righteousness were being compared to Jamal's life. However, it really threw the movie off because that was the only part of the movie that was downright unrealistic.
The second half of the movie reminded me of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in that it was the best with regards to plot, but otherwise, was shitty. For example, the first half of the movie actually made me feel like I was in India; the second half made me feel like I was in America. I had to ask myself this during the second half: "Why are Jamal, Salim, and Latika speaking to each other in English?" The thing is, the movie was supposed to be a representation of Indian life; however, as the story progressed, it got further and further away from that goal.
Another thing I didn't like about the second half was Salim's role. His general douchebaggery was not that bad for the movie because he served as a great foil to Jamal. However, his main act of douchebaggery (becoming Javed's right hand man) was the second most unrealistic thing in the movie. Furthermore, I think that if Latika had done all the work to escape from Javed, the movie, with regards to its romance, would have ended much more strongly.
[/spoiler]
Besides these flaws, the film was good. On an alphabetical scale, I'd give it a B-.

I'm watching Girl Interrupted at the moment.
I like the weird flashbacks with no meaning. It reminds me of that Wristcutter's Love Story movie.
I just watched Revolver.
As every other Guy Ritchie film, I love it.
Rambo III - I enjoyed it but it's not even close to memorable like the first two. Some scenes almost mirror the earlier movies and feel reused.
Kung Fu Panda - The "fight" scene was good and the story had a little moral to it, decent kids movie. I find it a little shallow and didn't show that much creativeness to it like other movies that are for kids. Coraline for example.
Rushmore - Good movie. Wes Anderson movies all have the same feeling, a very nice feeling of warmth. I can't exactly describe it but I love how his movies all feel like his. He has a very specific style and if you lined all his movies he's directed up, you can tell they're his.
I have waiting for me: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Scanners, Halloween (1978), The Devil's Rejects, Stargate, Crash (in the process of watching it now), The Squid and the Whale
Quote from: Probably Felt on February 26, 2009, 05:02:14 PM
I'm watching Girl Interrupted at the moment.
I like the weird flashbacks with no meaning. It reminds me of that Wristcutter's Love Story movie.
The movie made me baww several times. ;__;
I LOVED IT.
I'm going to watch no blade of grass next.
yesterday night i went to the theaters and viewed the movie Taken.
it was a good movie.
Just saw Repo: The Generic Opera. It was pretty neat actually despite being a musical.
Last night I watched The Reader and Milk (I had already seen this but it was great all over again)
I enjoyed The Reader a lot
Halloween (1978) - Why is this such a hit? Only reason I respected the movie is because it was made by people who don't usually make movies. The opening is done great, tits and all but after that it's like an hour of Michael Myers appearing and disappearing. I still want to look into the rest of the movies, especially Rob Zombie's.
Crash (2004) - I've seen it before. The movie had a piece of excellence but fell short for me because it seemed like a bunch of movies piled into one. If all the characters interacted with each other a lot more it would have been better, and of course the less of a focus on racism and stereotypes. A little sad.
I also saw Spirited Away again, still one of the best movies ever. Watching Terminator 3 now.
No Blade for Grass: I was kinda scared how the people from the 70's feared the same exact problems as today. (Global warming, biological warfare, etc.) A lot of action, and I liked its foreshadowing in its cheesy sense (Random scene with red flashes). But I did feel that it was cut off too short, I wanted to know more what happened to the group that was escaping from London. ;_;
Awakenings: I found it pretty boring from the scenery, it was an old white hospital and a bunch of mentally ill persons whom you never 'really' know about, but it did have its moments like when they made the catatonic able to move again.
I'm going to watch Walking Life and Spirited Away and the da vinci code next. n_____n
Taken. It was pretty intense. I was rooting for Liam the whole way through. It I guess did a decent job making his efforts seem emotional and driven.
I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, obviously, but it was pretty good. Entertaining.
I watched the X-Men movies last night and today. The ending was retarded. madood;
We're watching some movie in Spanish class about cubans coming over to the US and one of them became a drug dealer lol
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - Before watching it I sort of dreaded watching Terminator 3 because I've only heard bad about it. Sure T-X, the terminator sent to kill John Connor lacked a personality unlike that of Terminator 2's T-1000, the terminator sent to kill John Connor as a child. Another thing about this movie that was just crap was that it held the same story as the first two. A terminator goes to kill John Connor (or his mother in the first movie) and someone else is sent back in time to stop this from happening. All I can sum Terminator 3 into is "more of the same." Terminator Salvation will hopefully break the tired mold and show the real thing any Terminator fan has been waiting for. Now with all the great CGI we have today I'll defiantly see Terminator Salvation. Too bad the director also directed Charlie's Angels, but on the bright side there is always Christan Bale.
Hannibal - This is the sequel to Silence of the Lambs, it continues the story of serial killer Hannibal Lecter who has escaped from imprisonment. Though Hannibal isn't as awesome as he was in the first movie Hannibal is still a great sequel. One thing I just have to get out of the way is Clarice Starling's character's appearance is very noticeably different. What the fuck happened? Anyways as like the first movie there are parts that just don't make sense. How did the human eating boars get all the way to the US? The final scene in the movie is awesome and just shows how truly twisted Hannibal is. A great film with some blemishes that are easy to ignore.
The Squid and the Whale - I wasn't even remotely surprised to see in the credits that it was produced by Wes Anderson. It's a story about two brothers going through a divorce in the 1980's. All of the characters have very distinguishable personalities. I enjoyed the movie though it is a little sad and never lightens up.
Scanners - I don't know what to think of the movie, parts were awesome and some parts were so lame and very hard to follow. The first 20 minutes and the story were so awesome but the acting was pretty awful, not that over the top acting like Arnold Schwarzenegger's, more like under reactions as well as over reactions. The ending leads into the 2nd movie which isn't even on DVD. What a rip.
Twenty Bucks - It's a story of a $20 bill, while there are characters, it's just a camera following the life of the bill. The movie's story is good though the feeling of the movie isn't. I liked it.
I am rewatching The Singing Revolution right now
It's a really beautiful documentary about the Estonian people and how their singing helped them overcome everything and the Soviet Union.
Also, my friend Krista is in it :)
Primer - Though the story is confusing, this is true for most all time traveling movies. I found it very awesome, especially because it's an independent film, done for about $7,000. I like the movie because the director, Shane Carruth, has a little different explanation of time travel. It's well thought out and Shane Carruth is the starring role, director, producer, writer, cinematographer, and about ten other things. A great sci-fi movie thats not too weird. Towards the end the movie gets pretty confusing and parts of the movie you might have a hard time hearing the characters because of the poor job on sound but it's forgivable since it's such a low budget movie. Still a great movie. Carruth chose not to dumb down the movie and I'm very happy for it.
Step Brothers - It was alright. Parts were over the top. Lots of penis jokes.
I really want to see Watchmen this weekend. Anybody else?
I'm seeing it tonight in IMAX. I'll see how it is.

the parts i didn't like were in...er,
based on the section i had read
Eagle Eye - What a ridiculous movie, though I didn't pay attention towards the latter half of the movie I didn't like it. Jesus Christ it's one of the most ridiculous movies I've seen. I probably didn't like it because Arnold wasn't in it.

The Usual Suspects - Jesus Christ I love Kevin Spacey. An awesome movie. I didn't expect too much from it but I was mistaken. The story was great, with awesome awesome dialogue and the ending was great.
Hellraiser - That was so fucking awesome. So much gore.
I watched The Watchmen
Drugstore Cowboy - The music was that of a 1950's detector movie. It felt like a less stylized version of Spun though it showed a little bit more drug use. It showed the most detailed steps to how to shoot up. It was alright. I enjoyed the shenanigans he pulled with the detective and the neighbor with the gun.
V for Vendetta.
I liked it. I want the suit he wears. baddood; HELP ME FIND IT.

Hannibal is the only sequel. Red Dragon, Manhunter and Hannibal Rising are all prequels to Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon and Manhunter are the same story by the way.
Hannibal Rising was such a gross movie.
And I'm confused which movie was the one with Old Hannible and he escapes to some weird exotic place at the end.

Watch Hannibal, it just leads into the next movie.
The one you called "Old Hannible" is called Silence of the Lambs.
Order in which the movies were made
Manhunter ->
Silence of the Lambs ->
Hannibal ->
Red Dragon -> Hannibal Rising
Order in which they're set into the timeline
Hannibal Rising ->
Red Dragon/Manhunter ->
Silence of the Lambs ->
HannibalRed Dragon is a remake of Manhunter. Only the ones with Anthony Hopkins are good (the ones in

but i also say the city of joy or something the other day, it had patrick swayze in it.
i thought i liked it.

It was emotionally overdone. Maybe it was okay in the 80's but you can't have a character be the biggest jackass ever for 2/3rds of a movie and then suddenly fall in love with his brother that he's known a week just because he helps him count cards.
and the 2/3rds where he's a jackass are just obnoxious to watch.

Watchmen. It was like watching the entire book.
Watched both Ace Ventura movies today. Saw both before, but posting to say they fucking rule.
Finally saw Slumdog Millionaire, and I loved it. The whole way the movie revolved around the trivia questions was real cool.
It only made me I wish I had a love like Latika and Jamal ;-; and that I should never go to India and leave my things out of my sight.
I also saw Seven Pounds and have to say it's a terrible terrible movie. The movie really could have just been 15 minutes without all of that bullshit Will Smith and Rosario Dawson mess, and just gone straight to the twists. The big climax was stupid and I saw it a mile away. The title of the movie still confuses me.
And Red Dragon was really good, I started watching it just because Edward Norton was in it, but then I really got into it [spoiler]poor Mr.D, why are all the criminals in the Hannibal series make me feel so damn sympathetic for them. I nearly cried when Buffalo Bill was shot down by Clarice ;-;[/spoiler]

i had to watch that in like grade 9.
i don't even remember it.
Lolita (1962) - It was pretty okay. Sue Lyon, the 14 year old (who is really 16) was a great character but I don't see how it compares to any of his other works; maybe it's because of the subject matter is quite adult for the 60s. The ending made the movie better.
Palindromes - A great movie, though it's a bit confusing because of what the ending reveals. I love that there is a armless singer in the movie.
Dead Alive - That was one of the most disgusting gory movies I've ever seen. It's somewhat of a zombie movie, I guess it received the award from Guinness for the most fake blood ever in a movie. The ending monster was great. You'll feel dirty after seeing this movie.
Jurassic Park - Beautiful though cheesy. Special effects are some of the best, even today.

Welcome to the Dollhouse - I remember seeing pieces of this when I was little. It's a little weird, I have to say I was bored while watching it but not as much as Lolita. Not because the idea was overdone, both movies were quite original. Welcome to the Doll house gave this feeling that I had in Junior High, which was fascinating. I liked it a little bit. I enjoyed the few references it had, such as the girl named Lolita. I'm planning on watching the last two movies of Todd Solondz. Happiness and Storytelling.

I dunno if it's one of the most amazing, but it is at least really good.
Anyway, I watched "Shakespeare in Love" today. I'm writing a paper on it for my Contemporary British Film class so I'll be watching bits and pieces of it several more times within the next week or so.

Saw Juno, Twilight, and 27 Dresses tonight with Lauren. Not first time seeing them, but whatever.
Crash (1996) - I don't know what to say, it was quite a odd movie. Pretty sexy too, I was satisfied with it. All the movies I've seen of David Cronenberg always make me forget about the plot and just enjoy the visuals. This movie was quite more of the same, but lots more sex. Lots of cool visuals, enjoyed the camera angles in the first crash. How the camera shows his grip on his belt buckle and such.
Youth without Youth - Not finished. Half way through, fuck it's getting weird.

The art direction is nice. I'm not sure if I saw the novel as animated, but.........
Bah...
Oh, and I watched Naked Lunch for the second time yesterday.

I have yet to read Naked Lunch, is the movie good? David Cronenberg's movies are a little iffy for me.
Oh, I really want to see Naked Lunch! I read the book and want to see how they put it on film

Read the book. Reading Burroughs is like drowning under a perpetually bad high. Of course, that's what he's trying to perpetuate I think......
Film wise, it's a surprisingly faithful interpretation of the text, and that's saying something considering the source material is so cracked. Hell, when you can watch typewriters change into giant talking insects without cringing, I think the director did a decent job.
Yep.
the DBZ movie: Made me laugh a LOT. Probably wasn't the director's original intention.
Started Four Little Girls today
It's good, it's sad.
I just watched Slumdog Millionaire.
It was great.
The Orphanage is what I'm currently watching.

Just saw Notorious. Pretty good if you ask me.
I saw Knowing with my family last weekend. It was actually a very interesting movie.
If you go to see this movie, make sure you go to the bathroom before watching it, and not drink many liquids during the movie. This movie is so suspenseful that you will never want to leave for the bathroom until it is over. Sometimes you think a scene will be perfect for getting up to go, and a few seconds later you find you are dead wrong.
Watched Donnie Darko

no i have no idea.
but i will praise this person when i figure out who it was.
i don't want no damn pakis in this town of white people.
So I saw Fighting instead. As long as there was actual fighting occurring, it was fairly entertaining. The most interesting part of the whole thing was the trailer for Inglorious Bastards, as I will watch anything featuring Nazi slaying.

Such a good movie...such a sad movie.
The Wrestler (2008) - Why are you so sad? Couldn't he become a meat salesman?
I watched Sweeney Todd today. It was quite good. Not one of my favorite movies ever but certainly a good movie nonetheless.
Quote from: Kaz on May 14, 2009, 08:08:14 PM
I watched Sweeney Todd today. It was quite good. Not one of my favorite movies ever but certainly a good movie nonetheless.
It's probably the only musical that I've ever found to be worth half a shit.
Vanilla Sky - I've been meaning to watch it, I have the original movie too (Abre los Ojos directed by the same guy who directed The Others, a better movie,) probably better but decided to watch the Americanized version first. It was okay, the movie is supposed to have a big plot twist at the end, which "sure" it did. The plot twist was very lame in my opinion, it wasn't just thrown out there but it was pretty obvious something was abnormal. I liked it but still felt out of place, it isn't worth watching twice and barely worth watching the first time.
I'm watching Heavy Metal 2000 which the intro leads me to believe it's LotR in SPACE!
The ending to Vanilla Sky SUCKED. It sucked.
If you want to feel better about your twist endings, watch Identity. The movie is built around twists.
I watched Kinsey last night.
Very interesting movie. Liam Neeson is a great actor.

I will.
Heavy Metal 2000 - It was pretty silly, the ending was like "okay whatever, don't care." Lots of tits and gore for a little animated movie with the silly crappy 3d effects of a camera turning around just to show off that it's from the year 2000 though it looks more 80s in the long run. The story was just "eh" with some surprising scenes like an almost rap scene. I didn't know this but it's a sequel to the original Heavy Metal.
Princess Mononoke
2001: A Space Odyssey
I decided on compiling all my mini-reviews for all the movies I've seen since I started doing this, since November 27th, 2008. I put the year by the movies that share a title with other movies. Suggestions for movies for me would be awesome, feedback is good too. Enjoy.
Stats:
145 movies
6 months and 20 days (202 days)
17,452,800 seconds
0.72 movies a day
23.39 movies a month
8.308 x 10-6 movies a second.
2LDK - My friend loves watching low budget Asian movies, he brought it over. The first 40 minutes leads up to a 20 minute fight scene between the two female main characters. It was decent, the special effects were awful but that usually makes it more funny.
28 Weeks Later - What the shit? They're obviously a take on the zombie movie genre. It had some cool scenes, the helicopter. But fuck it was really about how the government would fuck us over if there were zombies. It reminded me of The Blindness but with zombies and not cool.
2001: A Space Odyssey - Great movie, though I can how someone can dislike it. It's a bit slow though the scene of Bowman dismantling HAL was great. The deep red room in which Bowman floats around in while HAL is asking what he is doing. The monkeys as the first one discovers how to use tools and they overcome the others.
Angel-A - Pretty great movie, directed by Luc Besson who also directed The Fifth Element. It's a story of a guy who is in debt and goes to off himself when he finds a woman doing the same. There were some really cool shots of the two just walking, shes supposed to be really really tall though shes is only 5'10', the main character, the male, is just really short (5'5'.) The film is in a black and white without reason besides artistic maybe.
Be Kind, Rewind - I wanted to see it because it was directed by Michel Gondry, he also directed The Science of Sleep and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. I'm kind of disappointed in the movie, I didn't expect too much. I loved the other two movies and have yet to see Human Nature. There were some cool scenes but overall it was a pretty lacking movie.
Bubba Ho-Tep - After seeing Bruce Campell's The Man with the Screaming Brain I dreaded seeing another movie with him in it. Bubba Ho-Tep is a story of a man in a retirement home who thinks he is Elvis Presley and his black friend who thinks he is J.F.K. go to fight a mummy. The special effects are decent and the story is a little wacky. Lots of penis jokes.
A Clockwork Orange - I actually never seen it all the way through so I decided I would. It's a great movie as most say. I had to watch it in three parts because of my sleepiness recently but it was worth it. The vocabulary was so awesome, probably one of the reasons why the movie is held so high.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind - After watching this and 2001: A Space Odyssey I get the feeling that back then in the 60s and 70s movies could be very slow and the scenes could drag on. Both movies are very popular and both have very slow dragging scenes, though in 2001 it sets the isolate feeling while in Close Encounters it doesn't add anything but length to the movie. Watch only for cultural purposes, not for entertainment.
Coraline - Pretty awesome. The 3D was very subtle most of the time and was a nice touch. I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait for the next three movies from Pixar, all three of them are in 3D. Up, then The Bear and the Bow, then Newt. Coraline felt much like another dimension with very dream-like characters and a very dream feeling because of the 3D. No boobs.
Crash (1996) - I don't know what to say, it was quite a odd movie. Pretty sexy too, I was satisfied with it. All the movies I've seen of David Cronenberg always make me forget about the plot and just enjoy the visuals. This movie was quite more of the same, but lots more sex. Lots of cool visuals, enjoyed the camera angles in the first crash. How the camera shows his grip on his belt buckle and such.
Crash (2004) - I've seen it before. The movie had a piece of excellence butfell short for me because it seemed like a bunch of movies piled into one. If all the characters interacted with each other a lot more it would have been better, and of course the less of a focus on racism and stereotypes. A little sad.
Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Very respectable movie but I feel that it could have been so much better. The zombies are
just blue faced people. It seems like the last 30 minutes were thrown in there as a way for them to escape from the mall. It's a good movie and mostly just fun to watch with a friend just so you can make fun of it.
Day of the Dead (1985) - I watched it a long time ago, but not all the way through. Bubs is awesome. Special effects were so fucking awesome in this movie compared to the previous three (Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead.) I'd have to say it's my favorite of the three.
Dead Alive - That was one of the most disgusting gory movies I've ever seen. It's somewhat of a zombie movie, I guess it received the award from Guinness for the most fake blood ever in a movie. The ending monster was great. You'll feel dirty after seeing this movie.
Deception - I got it in the mail, I didn't remember putting it on my list. It was good, a little 'duh.' I don't recommended trying to watch it but if it comes upon you it's worth the time.
Dracula (1992) - aka Bram Stroker's Dracula - It was good, more of a love story then a horror film. Based most closely on the book than any other movie of the Dracula sort.
Drugstore Cowboy - The music was that of a 1950's detector movie. It felt like a less stylized version of Spun though it showed a little bit more drug use. It showed the most detailed steps to how to shoot up. It was alright. I enjoyed the shenanigans he pulled with the detective and the neighbor with the gun.
Eagle Eye - What a ridiculous movie, though I didn't pay attention towards the latter half of the movie I didn't like it. Jesus Christ it's one of the most ridiculous movies I've seen. I probably didn't like it because Arnold wasn't in it.
The Eraser - What a great movie, it was the most cliche action movie but was still good. The story was well thought out. Not as cool as Total Recall but it might be better than The Terminator (not T2.)
Eraserhead - Me and my friend put symbolism on everything and it made the movie, I guess you could say "less painful." It's not a horrible movie, it's just a David Lynch movie. It'll make sense if you watch it, my explanation that is, not the movie.
The Fifth Element - I watched half of it so far, it's not as good as people say it is and not as good as I remembered. Has some cool things and the visuals are just fun to view. The lady is pretty hot too and you do see a little bit of her itty bitty titties. Planning on watching the second half soon.
First Blood (aka Rambo 1) - Just so you don't get confused this is the oldest Rambo movie, not the 2008 movie. It was quite a bit different than that I had imagined. Rambo, a Vietnam veteran, is hassled by cops (who are fucking assholes by the way) when he runs away from them and gets in a little war of his own, literary. It's my favorite out of the first two movies and the fourth (named Rambo.)
First Blood: Part II (aka Rambo 2) - I didn't like it as much as the first because Rambo seemed invincible in this one while the first he was just fighting cops, this one he takes on Russia and Vietnam. The first movie showed how misunderstood he was as a war hero while this one shows how much of a hero he is.
Ghost World - What a lovely movie, I loved it. The characters are very defined and all of them are just awesome. The guy at the bus stop, the red neck at the convenient store, the main character as well.
Halloween (1978) - Why is this such a hit? Only reason I respected the movie is because it was made by people who don't usually make movies. The opening is done great, tits and all but after that it's like an hour of Michael Myers appearing and disappearing. I still want to look into the rest of the movies, especially Rob Zombie's.
Hannibal - This is the sequel to Silence of the Lambs, it continues the story of serial killer Hannibal Lecter who has escaped from imprisonment. Though Hannibal isn't as awesome as he was in the first movie Hannibal is still a great sequel. One thing I just have to get out of the way is Clarice Starling's character's appearance is very noticeably different. What the fuck happened? Anyways as like the first movie there are parts that just don't make sense. How did the human eating boars get all the way to the US? The final scene in the movie is awesome and just shows how truly twisted Hannibal is. A great film with some blemishes that are easy to ignore.
The Happening (2008) - My parents rented it, I didn't expect much and wasn't disappointed only because I knew it wouldn't contain much. There were a couple of cool scenes, such as the two grandmothers kitting with gas masks.
Heavy Metal 2000 - It was pretty silly, the ending was like "okay whatever, don't care." Lots of tits and gore for a little animated movie with the silly crappy 3d effects of a camera turning around just to show off that it's from the year 2000 though it looks more 80s in the long run. The story was just "eh" with some surprising scenes like an almost rap scene. I didn't know this but it's a sequel to the original Heavy Metal. Overall it felt like Titan AE but more adult.
Hellraiser - That was so fucking awesome. So much gore and an awesome story to boot.
Horton Hears a Who! - It had its moments, some of the characters just pissed me off, the gothic kid was a bit lame. The monkeys were fucking awesome, jesus. Horton had some great scenes but most everyone in Who-ville were just bad characters. Of course this is a kids movie, I liked it overall.
The Host - What ever you do, watch the English dub because the dubbing is awful. It's like Godzilla but with better special effects.
Into the Wild - Such a sad movie. Based on a true story too, I can't say it's an amazing movie, but the story is (only because it's true.) Being able to throw everything away and start a life discovering nature. The end note made my hair stand up, it showed a picture of the actual Chris. Chris was a ittle too sure of himself though.
Jurassic Park - Beautiful though cheesy. Special effects are some of the best, even today.
Kung Fu Panda - The "fight" scene was good and the story had a little moral to it, decent kids movie. I find it a little shallow and didn't show that much creativeness to it like other movies that are for kids. Coraline for example.
The Life of David Gale - I love Kevin Spacey, the movie was great while the ending was brilliant, why couldn't they get a better title to the movie though?
Lolita (1962) - It was pretty okay. Sue Lyon, the 14 year old (who is really 16) was a great character but I don't see how it compares to any of his other works; maybe it's because of the subject matter is quite adult for the 60s. The ending made the movie better.
The Man with the Screaming Brain - Directed by Bruce Campbell. I love Army of Darkness as much as anyone but this movie was terrible. One of the worst movies ever. About a guy who has a brain transplant and wants to kill the girl who killed him in the first place. Steaming pile of crap, The Happening was better than this pile.
Marley & Me - I saw it with my girlfriend, mom, and dad. My mom wanted to see a happy uplifting movie for x-mas. As the movie was ending my girlfriend and mom were crying because it was so sad. I admit it was quite sad though. There were scatters of funny parts but mostly it was just a movie about people being angry and sad.
Me and You and Everyone we Know - Some great ass scenes. A little out of place bits but those bits are great.
Obsessed (2009) - Very Hollywood movie. It was pretty typical and the ending was pretty predictable. It's a fun movie to watch with friends that enjoy a simple movie with some decently sexy women.
Old Boy - Great movie, watched it in Korean with English subs then in English dubs. The scene where he cuts out his tongue is so fucking hilarious in English. I can't say it's one of my favorite movies but seeing it made me a better person. Watch it in Korean if you want to take it serious, watch it in English if you want a comedy.
Palindromes - A great movie, though it's a bit confusing because of what the ending reveals. I love that there is a armless singer in the movie.
Party Monster - Need to rewatch it but it was pretty neat. Pretty crazy story that is actually a true story.
Pineapple Express - What a fucking weird movie. I'm surprised I haven't seen more movies like it, over the top action movie with every last thing going wrong. I'm sure the movie would have been better if the actors were better but overall it's a good movie. Lots and lots of weed. No boobs.
Planet Terror - What the shit this was awesome. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. So many well done zombie-like monsters with great make-up. One of the best zombie-like movies I've ever seen.
Primer - Though the story is confusing, this is true for most all time traveling movies. I found it very awesome, especially because it's an independent film, done for about $7,000. I like the movie because the director, Shane Carruth, has a little different explanation of time travel. It's well thought out and Shane Carruth is the starring role, director, producer, writer, cinematographer, and about ten other things. A great sci-fi movie thats not too weird. Towards the end the movie gets pretty confusing and parts of the movie you might have a hard time hearing the characters because of the poor job on sound but it's forgivable since it's such a low budget movie. Still a great movie. Carruth chose not to dumb down the movie and I'm very happy for it.
Purple Rain - This is one of Prince's movies. One of the songs can be seen in the end of Clerks 2. The music in between the scenes were a band plays on stage are just awful, it's like a movie about music but some of it is just so awfully cheesy. I do like the movie but maybe only because of the 80s feeling it gives off.
Rambo III - I enjoyed it but it's not even close to memorable like the first two. Some scenes almost mirror the earlier movies and feel reused.
Rushmore - Good movie. Wes Anderson movies all have the same feeling, a very nice feeling of warmth. I can't exactly describe it but I love how his movies all feel like his. He has a very specific style and if you lined all his movies he's directed up, you can tell they're his.
A Scanner Darkly - Such a weird movie, I think it's because of the hard to follow plot and the animation. I love the animation and some of the characters, specifically Charles Freck.
Scanners - I don't know what to think of the movie, parts were awesome and some parts were so lame and very hard to follow. The first 20 minutes and the story were so awesome but the acting was pretty awful, not that over the top acting like Arnold Schwarzenegger's, more like under reactions as well as over reactions. The ending leads into the 2nd movie which isn't even on DVD. What a rip.
Seven Pounds - Overall a really Hollywood movie. It was a decent movie. The jelly fish were so fucking awesome.
The Shining (1990) - I've decided to watch all of Stanley Kubrick's movies from Lolita and above. I've seen it before as a child but it was great to watch it again. Some of the scenes are just so memorable, the child on his big wheel riding down the hotel. The sound of the wheels as they drive on the carpet and on the hard wood. The music is so amazing, it makes you feel the way the scenes only hint at.
The Silence of the Lambs - Awesome movie. Hannibal is such a great character, though the clues he gives no one would be able to guess them as good as the main character Clarence. I'm planning on watching more of the Hannibal movies.
Sin City - Slightly disappointed in the over stylized artwork with lacking special effects. I guess you can say that the special effects, like when that guy slaps the girl so hard that she flies with the chair, are comic book-like. The story is good yet the ending leaves a lot unfinished. Of course there is a sequel coming out and a third too.
Slacker - I like the movie, just a movie about random conversations with people. The director has created some characters many people can relate to. Not as pseudo-intellectual feeling as Waking Life, though I like both.
Spun - Directed by Jonas Ã…kerlund. He's directed lots of music videos and this was his debut film. At parts I got really anxious because of all the scenes switching back and forth. I really liked "Frisbee," because I could relate to his hobbies. Video games and metal, though he also did meth. He also wore some cool hats. It was a good movie, though it wasn't exactly well thought out and didn't really contain an actual story, just some plots that intertwined. Had some funny camera work, like a wrestler (on tv) gave a fully facial expression to a character's quirky statement, as if the wrestler was reacting to that character.
The Squid and the Whale - I wasn't even remotely surprised to see in the credits that it was produced by Wes Anderson. It's a story about two brothers going through a divorce in the 1980's. All of the characters have very distinguishable personalities. I enjoyed the movie though it is a little sad and never lightens up.
Step Brothers - It was alright. Parts were over the top. Lots of penis jokes.
Sukiyaki Western Django - What the shit. It has the wackiness of Kill Bill, but not the cool storyline. The movie is overall just a beautiful looking piece of work with little story. I ultimately watched it because Quentin Tarantino acted in it. It's a good movie.
Taken - I liked the movie but it felt like 007 but not as well thought out. An FBI guy goes out and kills 3,125,215 people for his daughter. Very very very action packed but without thought. Just straight action.
The Terminator - So many people died. The movie opens with two naked dudes running from the cops. Boobs
Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Jesus Christ I thought nothing would kill that guy. Bigger explosives but not as many deaths. Good movie.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - Before watching it I sort of dreaded watching Terminator 3 because I've only heard bad about it. Sure T-X, the terminator sent to kill John Connor lacked a personality unlike that of Terminator 2's T-1000, the terminator sent to kill John Connor as a child. Another thing about this movie that was just crap was that it held the same story as the first two. A terminator goes to kill John Connor (or his mother in the first movie) and someone else is sent back in time to stop this from happening. All I can sum Terminator 3 into is "more of the same." Terminator Salvation will hopefully break the tired mold and show the real thing any Terminator fan has been waiting for. Now with all the great CGI we have today I'll defiantly see Terminator Salvation. Too bad the director also directed Charlie's Angels, but on the bright side there is always Christan Bale.
Titan AE - I saw last night. Had a mix between 2D animation and 3D CGI. Made for a silly mix. Hilariously awful lyrics and soundtrack but overall it was a decent teenager's sci-fi movie.
Trainspotting - I've read Filth by Irvine Welsh, the author of the book Trainspotting. The movie seems to fit the style of Irvine Welsh. Scottish dialogue. Some scenes just always seem to impress me, the toilet scene is just awesome. I always forget about him traveling down into it.
Tropic Thunder - Wow, that was a sub-par movie.
Twenty Bucks - It's a story of a $20 bill, while there are characters, it's just a camera following the life of the bill. The movie's story is good though the feeling of the movie isn't. I liked it.
The Usual Suspects - Jesus Christ I love Kevin Spacey. An awesome movie. I didn't expect too much from it but I was mistaken. The story was great, with awesome awesome dialogue and the ending was great.
Vanilla Sky - I've been meaning to watch it, I have the original movie too (Abre los Ojos directed by the same guy who directed The Others, a better movie,) probably better but decided to watch the Americanized version first. It was okay, the movie is supposed to have a big plot twist at the end, which "sure" it did. The plot twist was very lame in my opinion, it wasn't just thrown out there but it was pretty obvious something was abnormal. I liked it but still felt out of place, it isn't worth watching twice and barely worth watching the first time.
Wall-E - Movie rules.
Welcome to the Dollhouse - I remember seeing pieces of this when I was little. It's a little weird, I have to say I was bored while watching it but not as much as Lolita. Not because the idea was overdone, both movies were quite original. Welcome to the Doll house gave this feeling that I had in Junior High, which was fascinating. I liked it a little bit. I enjoyed the few references it had, such as the girl named Lolita. I'm planning on watching the last two movies of Todd Solondz. Happiness and Storytelling.
The Wrestler (2008) - Why are you so sad? Couldn't he become a meat salesman?
Young Frankenstein - This movie was great... until they created 'the creature.' I've read Frankenstein and though this
movie has so many mistakes within it about the original book (it's based off of the movies of course) it was awesome until 'it' came to life. 'It' wasn't a good character, no personality, not funny, didn't add anything to the movie. Now Frankenstein's assistant Igor was awesome, and Frankenstein himself was great (Gene Wilder who also played Willy Wonka and surprisingly is still alive.)
Youth Without Youth - I didn't like it that much, it was way too weird (but seemingly normal) for my tastes. It started off very very very normal for the first 40 minutes and led into weird as hell. I don't remember it much.

I fixed those, yeah it seems like a lot of movies but even now after my movie spree I still don't feel like I've seem too many. I have laundry lists of movies still.
The Cell - The absolute best part of the whole movie is when Jennifer Lopez first enters his dream and the horse gets all split up. I saw it coming... except the part were the pieces pull apart. I've never seen anything more beautiful ever. I always wanted to see this movie but the star was Jennifer Lopez which made me think twice. Her role isn't too hard, when she acts it's still pretty decent, she just has to look pretty for the camera. The story was decently good. I love the chamber that the lady gets locked inside of, genius. Maybe I'm generous but this is a top 50 movie.
Some movies that slipped through
Taxi Driver - It slipped in and out of boring and good. I liked the ending, how it lead into a little action. Taxi Driver is just a slow character developing movie that is pretty good, seem to have a huge cult following.

The rabbit wasn't the best part, the witty humor was. Mostly the dialogue.
Terminator Salvation - It's a lot like War of the Worlds at about the mid point. Lots of explosions and will look VERY pretty in Blu-ray. Didn't see it in IMAX but I suggest that you do if you have the extra $5 because I can only imagine. Story is pretty mediocre but it will do. A little Arnold and some Bale is nice but the movie really revolves around some other guy. Won't go into detail but I like it. This is my idea of the series so far: Terminator 3 < Terminator Salvation < Terminator < T2. Of course the first two are AWESOME and the third is "eh."

Tyson - Pretty cool documentary on Mike Tyson. He is more intelligent that I once thought. He cries at one point in it.
Kindergarten Cop - Who the hell did they want to watch this movie? It's like a kids movie at first with some adult humor then a gun fight scene with blood (quite a bit) and one guy dies and someone gets hit with a bat. Has some of the best Arnold quotes ever.

I disagree. I think that the ending of that film is one of the best I can think of. Turnip head (the prince) knows that Sophie and Howl are in love but he loves Sophie so much and isn't sad about it (or doesn't show it) because he will wait.
It's really nice and not the most terribly common thing (or portrayal)

Uh yeah but there's really not much to the movie's plot as a whole in my opinion. I mean the witch casts the spell on that girl and then they're friends? And that one queen goes like ALL OUT on trying to capture the guy but then is like "okay nevermind I'm leaving you alone". And I just feel like not that much happened, as a whole.

It... sort of is. Sam Raimi did it, and he did the Evil Dead trilogy which are all a mixture of horror and comedy and are amazing. And also Spiderman, but that has nothing to do with these. Anyway, yeah I loved it too.
I saw Up today, which I loved. Yesterday I watched Seven Pounds. Which I quite liked. It was well acted and the story was very good, but it got a bit over-dramatic at times.

Up - The 3D wasn't used too much and kind of bullshit that it was $4 more ($8 because I took my gf of course.) Still a great movie and Pixar is still awesome but Coraline is still the best 3D movie.

Funny games was a horrible movie that ended with almost no questions being answered.

I saw The Hangover last Friday, and I was amazed. The story was welll written and it was a funny movie. I'd recommend it to anyone, over the age of 18. Next movie up will most likely be Transformers.

The Hangover
SO GOOD
Some spoilers ahead.
Saw III - It's okay, it's the first Saw where the traps are almost impossible to do, he isn't given enough time to do them. I liked the ending a lot though.
Saw IV - Jesus Christ what has happened? This is the most confusing pile of crap. Too many characters and it's more than stupid that Rigg is being tested because he is too quick to try and save people's lives. Is he is such a bad person for that? I hate how sometimes they do a continuous shot from the past to the present but in this movie they tie it in with the third movie. They happen at the same time but it's hard to understand that because of how they setup the previous movies.
Saw V - It's more generic than the last movies but it gets the job done. I like the trap with five people in it, it's pretty cool and actually teaches morals to the five of them unlike some of the previous traps. The twist was weak but it works.

I watched gummo for the first time the other day in this film course I'm taking.
I loved it, but it's one of those that makes you cringe a little and sticks with you for a bit after, like gum on a shoe.
Really good though if you haven't seen it.
The lack of a plot is going to turn some people off, but that's not what the film's about.
Give it a shot if you're hungry for some summer viewing.

Last night I watched a movie called Lovers of the Arctic Circle. It was a Spanish movie that was mostly subtitled except for when there were a few instances of characters speaking English. It was pretty good and really heart-wrenching, but its plot is a little silly at times since it's a "coincidence" plot, where characters meet and things go either perfectly or terribly completely based on a series of coincidences that just happen to meld together in nigh impossible ways. There's a scene that really got me, where these two lovers that haven't seen each other in ages just happen to be sitting in the same outdoor cafe or whatever, facing opposite directions, and they never notice each other at all. Good film overall.
Sex In The City - IT WAS AMAZING <3 I almost cried a little when Big didn't show at the wedding.
The Other Boleyn Girl - Pretty decent movie I guess. It was just long and kinda dragged on at some parts.
Lords Of Dog Town - Meh it was alright but I didn't like how the one kid joined a Mexican gang.

Watch the first and second and then never watch the rest of them.
The Frisco Kid (1979) - It was a western/comedy starring Gene Wilder as a rabbi making his way from Philadelphia to San Fransico in 1850. On the way, he meets Harrison Ford, a wild west bank robber. They journey together, hilarity ensues.
Kind of slow to start up, and it was never particularly hilarious, but I still found it worth watching due to the facts that I love Gene Wilder and the premise was really funny.
Gran Torino - The most badass movie of all time.
Charlie Barlett.
It was pretty freakin good, not as good as I thought but it was worth watching. I was just mad that there weren't any special features. I would have loved to see deleted scenes or something along those lines, but oh well I guess.

Yeah that movie was decent, better than I expected I guess
Gone Baby Gone, awesome movie.
Donnie Darko but I was falling asleep because I stayed up all night.
Before that it was In Bruges which was about hitman who have to go to Belgium and a lot of funny stuff happens, but the comedy doesn't take over the movie. It has a deeply serious tone, and dark comedy. Best movie I've ever seen
SLC Punk - Awesome ending, a mediocre movie. The main character is a bit annoying (well, really all the characters are annoying as shit but whatever.)

OMG that movie is incredible.
The Unborn
god damnit, that was horrible
I Am Legend - It was pretty damn good let me tell you. I've seen part of it a long time ago in one of my classes but we didn't have time to finish it. But the ending was so good. I had no idea he was going to die or find a cure.
City of Joy- I saw this a while ago but I watched a part of it today and it wasn't the best movie ever. Plus Patrick Swayze was in it. I dislike him. But I guess the plot was good.. I guess.. I don't think I'll ever watch it again.
Mindwarp - Good old fashion B movie. I enjoyed it though I didn't pay attention the whole time. Bruce's appearance wasn't as good as Army of Darkness but it was decent.
Gattaca - Sci-fi movie, of course. I liked the simplistic hints in the beginning with the A, T, C and G letters appearing bold in the cast's names. Pretty decent movie, a little bit stretched for my taste.
I'm going to start rating the movies I see, sorry if you don't agree with my ratings (anjew.)
Burn After Reading - God I fucking love John Malkovich, he is so fucking good. The story was all over the place, it was enjoyable, had plenty of big actors, and had scenes that were a little bit awesome because they were unexpected. I enjoyed it but was barley above average. 75/100
I really liked most of Burn After Reading but when everyone started dying it just got Wtf and i didn't like it. I mean it ended up being funny but i still thought it was unnecessary

Lol okay reaper
Fell asleep halfway through The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
saw it a few times before and loved it, I was just tired.
Taegukgi Hwinallimyo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tae_Guk_Gi) - Pretty cool movie, lots of good explosions, good story that doesn't interfere with the previously mentioned explosions. 80/100
bruno
The Bank Job, I watched it last night.
It was pretty bad and the only reason I watched the whole thing is Saffron Burrows because she is beautiful. Especially because it had Jason Statham the whole thing felt like a Guy Ritchie movie without everything that makes a Guy Ritchie movie good.
I haven't seen Cars but I do know that George Carlin is in it. I still want to see it but not really really baldy. I'll go ahead and swoop it up if I see it for cheap one day.
Labyrinth - Still a great movie. Jim Henson really is one of the coolest mother fuckers out there. The dated 80s music, David Bowie with his ridiculous hair with his penis showing through his thin clothes. I love this movie so much. 95/100
Stargate - It's a well done sci-fi movie for it's time but I really didn't enjoy it too much. 65/100
Planet Terror - Still awesome, one of my favorite zombie-like invasion movies ever. 90/100
I saw Gran Torino, it was awesome
Eh, no more scores. I don't give a shit.
The Godfather - I've been putting off this movie because every time I go to watch it I get 30 minutes in and the amount of characters just overwhelm me. Lots of people you're still trying to get their names, just die. Don Vito Corleone is a great character, every one of his lines are brilliant with the most silly voice. I enjoyed it.
Day of the Dead (1985)
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Breaking the fourth wall is a favorite of mine, pretty damn funny.
Mad Max - First time seeing it, fucking weird ass movie. I noticed that Saw had stole a huge idea from Mad Max. The acting of some of the characters resembles that of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I saw Let the Right One In in a theater which was a lot different than on my computer screen. It was even better
Harry Potter and the half blood prince. It was pretty good
Harry Potter was good, despite the fact that they didn't go into detail AT ALL about The Half Blood Prince himself. Which is, as you may have guessed, somewhat important. They also left out half of Harry/Ginny's relationship and the entire Apparation deal among other things. Oh, and one of the worst things was that instead of the super badass awesome amazing funeral that dumbledore should have ahd, the movie ended with the students all holding their wands in the sky with little lights. It was really lame. OH and they screwed up the entire last scene where dumbledore dies.
But as far as movies go it wasn't bad. I've always loved the HP cast and I think Tom Felton is brilliant in this one. Partially because I want in his pants. And I love the effect they used in the memories. Everything looked watery and cool.
I want in the chick who plays ginny's pants

Brüno.
I just...it's...wow. Just wow. This is not in praise, it's just that in some parts of the movie, all I could really say was "wow." As in..."wow, how did this get an R rating?"
It's really more of a novelty than something to enjoy.
The Fountain - No matter if you didn't understand the very out of the box movie the visuals were great. I don't think the Brad Pitt version would have been better, usually I can't take a movie as serious with such a big celebrity (The reason why I didn't see The Cell for a long time.) No matter what you'll come out of this movie with questions. I liked it. RoboCop is going to rule.
Been watching a lot of Danny Boyle films lately, also Skorcese
Sunshine, absolutely fucking great, even better on Blu-Ray
Re-watched 28 Days Later which was actually filmed w/ a standard definition camera so not great on blu-ray but still an incredible movie
Trainspotting
The Beach
To be honest, if you watch all of his movies and compare it to Slumdog, Slumdog was an absolute piece of shit

How the fuck was Gran Torino awesome? The only legitimate actor was Clint Eastwood. The plot was dull and pretty unmoving due to it's predictability. It was filmed between the same 3 fucking sets and the same shit kept happening until finally Clint Eastwood died. It was fucking terrible.
Also, any time any character would interact with Clint Eastwood, he would just pucker his lips and do that terrible, unnatural scowling face and growl at them. It was almost laughable by the 10th or 11th time he did that. It's one of the worst movies I've seen since "The Myst".

Actors in movies don't fucking matter. I've seen plenty of movies with actors that only were in one or two movies but fucking ruled.
Before the Devil Knows you're Dead - Many tits (Marisa Tomei from The Wrestler) the opening scene is pretty damn good just because it just opens to her and a character named Andy making some doggy style. The recurring theme is pretty annoying and the movie could have been cut a lot shorter. A lot of the movie is the two brothers running around going "fuck fuck fuck fuck!"
Spaceballs - I don't think I like Mel Brook's movies. They have very little good humor. I love Robin Hood: Men in Tights though.
I saw the new Harry Potter on the 15th.

Yeah Harry Potter was pretty good I guess, not amazing but good I guess. I would have taken it in a different direction, and the ending was a little off, but still worth watching.
Next I'm going to watch Spirited Away, finally.

The Road Warrior - So awesome, there was no more of the close eye ball explosions like in Mad Max though. I guess it was released in America and meant not to look like Mad Max 2 because the first did very poorly in America. Mel Gibson and all the other voices are dubbed over just to hide their accents in the first.
The 6th Day - It was my first time seeing it, so fucking good. The SimPal was very very creepy and the ending was horrible but otherwise it was right below Terminator and Terminator 2 for Arnold movies.
We Were Soldiers - So boring. I didn't like it very much.
And I also saw a little of Fight Club and I'm now watching Let the Right ones in giggle;

it really had very little substance and had a lot of random awkward laughing.
Don't get me wrong I didn't dislike it, but I see no reason to watch it again. It was just... fine.
Let the Right One in - It's pretty good, not amazing from what I heard from other people. The ending was quite cute and it wasn't an over the top vampire movie where everything revolves around it being about vampires like most movies of that nature. Just a cute story about two 12-year-olds.
I loved Let the Right One In..
But I think Howl's Moving Castle is the best one, then Princess Mononoke, then Castle in the Sky and after that I sort of feel like I am just naming them off. I love them all but Howl's Moving Castle is so fantastic and has a great ending

it was mostly just scenery
I don't really know what you're saying because the story accomplished what it set up. If you didn't like Kiki's Delivery Service for that reason you'll probably like Totoro even less.
There was a story though. There just wasn't much action? I don't really know how to call it but it wasn't the lack of a story.

What more could there have been? I don't really see what could have been added or amplified to make it a better movie but I'd be really interested to hear what you think about it. It just seems like making it more would have destroyed the movie. It doesn't need to be anything more than it is.
Also, watch the subbed version.

Ah, right. Yeah, now I remember, you did like it. Sorry. giggle;
I might be getting watchmen tomorrow too. But I shall get coraline overall, its just so visualy stunning and awesome ^_^
American Gangster- AMAZING. Not only was it about drugs. BUT it had a shit load of shooting in it. I like a good drug movie. Plus the fact that it was based on a true story was cool. The acting was so excellent. TI was in it, which made it that much better. I don't understand how they let him carry weapons around in the film though when he had/has illegal gun charges, unless those guns were fake. Who knows. But that movie is just so true. Very good movie.
Holy shit Lacy's post should be POTY its one of her best posts.
HEY
HEY
Hiro is right. I watched Howl's Moving Castle and like... nothing happened. And what did happen made very little sense, and I like some pretty WEIRD stuff you guys. It was mostly just filler! Very beautiful looking filler!
Then again Funny Games was the same way but I still loved it. So I guess different strokes for different folks or whatever.
I just bought the Watchmen director's cut. giggle;
The DVD needs more special features, but otherwise, this version beats the hell out of the theatrical cut. cjlubdoods;
Just bought the Collectors of Coraline, and just like pyrate said about the original version of the Watchmen DVD goes for the same for Coraline. Digital copy FTW

so Sunshine was beautiful and beautiful and everyone should see it.
I will watch that, Veal
The one by Danny Boyle. Not the one with Ralph Fiennes.
I was actually going to ask you which so I'm glad you already said so. The only reason I didn't was because upstairs the internet is slow... and I was up there
I read Coraline when I was younger and it gave me nightmares for weeks. Consequently, I don't want to see the movie. Ever.

Last night I watched Gran Torino. AMAZING MOVIE. I loved every second of it. The actors were all amazing and nothing was predictable either. I was upset that he died at the end though. I almost cried cause he left that poor doggy behind. But at least the Chinese boy got his car, and I guess he was gunna die anyways cause he was coughing up blood, which I think means cancer? Idk but it was also pretty disgusting how one of the Chinese cousins raped that girl. GROSS. Overall I would probably recommend for everyone to watch it.

I just watched the sixth Harry Potter movie. I saw them all so far mostly because my girlfriend wanted me too. Everyone who read the books came out complaining.
I saw The Stoning of Soraya M and I cried multiple times throughout which was a really odd thing because I hardly ever cry. It makes me want to help any Iranian woman but I don't know how.
I saw Transformers 2 not long ago, it was really good, though it seemed as much more as a fan movie than a movie to appeal to general audiences. It would probably still be enjoyable to someone who has limited knowledge of Transformers, but chances are they wouldn't appreciate some moments as much as a hardcore Transformers fan would.
That aside, I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the first movie, though those who are fans of the original series would probably understand the references and appreciate it a little more. bassir;

saw harry potter today
it's been a long time since i read the books so i don't really remember if olivander's captivity and rescue is in the sixth or seventh book
but either way it didn't really make sense that they showed him being captured and never went back to it at all
His captivity is mentioned in like the middle of the 7th book.

there was a very brief scene at the very beginning of the film where the death eaters burst into olivander's shop and kidnap him, and then you see them doing random shit like destroying a bridge

I actually only watched that scene once because it made me feel dizzy with all the flying through alleyways.
I went and saw Harry Potter last night. It was pretty damn amazing. I hadn't read the books or anything so everything that happened was a complete surprise to me haha. I pretty much teared up when Dumbledoor died. That was really sad. AND I didn't like the ending. I hate those endings that just leave you hangin there. LIKE JESUS. But sense I'm a Harry Potter fan I'm def. gunna buy it. This has been the most intense movie yet I say. The last thing I'm gunna say is: Ron was hot. That black guy Ron's sister was makin out with was HOT. Thee end.

Anyone see Moon? I went a couple of days ago, interesting movie. A bit slow at times, but never boring. If you haven't heard of it, it is about a guy who is sent up to the moon by himself for three years.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - Depressing
Twilight - I watched as much as I could for my girlfriend, I couldn't take it. Like a high school drama B movie vampires that was a school play the acting was so bad. The vampires had a rival vampire gang and the first encounter in the movie was so cheesy. They just like stared at each other and then some hella 90's guitar solo was played. Ugh
Super Size Me - Great documentary
Pretty Woman - Been meaning to se it because of its importance. Great movie, Julia is a great actress in this movie. Chick flick inded but I saw it with my girlfriend so it's okay.
i watched me some funny people
great movie.
I watched Rocky for the first time yesterday. It was pretty good.
I watched Coraline. It was interesting I guess, but nothing amazing. The story kind of dragged on. I guess I like it, but I'd be fine if I never saw it again. However, the visual style was very pretty.
Super High Me - Ehh
The Orphan sucked ass. But was still watchable because of commentary by other black people in the theater.

The Magnificent Ambersons
7/10
I was disappointed honestly.
What Dreams May Come - I love the visuals very much but didn't care for the story. Robin Williams is one of my favorite actors and he does a great job.
Baraka - One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen ever.
Nick Of Time- Short film with Johnny Depp in it that I have never even heard of before until this day. My friends dad gave it to me to watch and it was an alright movie. Not the best ever but it kept me interested. They could have picked a better actor than Johnny Depp although I guess sense it's made in like 1995 it was at his good acting time. Overall it wasn't all that thrilling.
Death Sentence- GREAT movie. It was intense and full of action and killing. Great movie for boys to watch I would say. It was sad too and I almost cried but it wasn't effective enough to make me cry. This is a thrilling movie and the acting was really really great. Again I had no idea this movie existed until today.
BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN- SOO GOOOD. It wasn't as homosexual as I thought it was going to be. Heath and Jake were fuckin gorgeous though let me tell you. This movie was a jaw dropper, most of the time I was like WHAT THE DICK. But it was actually really good and not so gay, so I don't understand why boys are afraid to watch it...

gi joe is fairly entertaining, but it's not really a good movie. if you want specific complaints, check the spoilers below.
[spoiler]For all the cool gadgetry and such, this movie has no plot, character, or a hint of logic. The goal of Cobra Commander is never revealed, and the movie just crams too much into such a short timeframe. Who thought that this constitutes plot?
* They got the warheads! OH NO!
* Want to be a Joe? Training montage.
* OH GOD THEY'RE BLOWING UP THE EIFFEL TOWER
* OH GOD THEY GOT DUKE
* STOP COBRA COMMANDER/DESTRO
All without knowing what the hell Cobra Commander is trying to do.
Ripcord was completely unnecessary. They removed the great Snake Eyes/Scarlet relationship. There really wasn't enough Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow in general. The limited ninja fighting that was there was enjoyable, but why would you kill Storm Shadow if you're going to make sequels? How the fuck do you justify killing off Storm Shadow?[/spoiler]
Oh, and half the movie was a computer. I oftentimes caught myself wondering if what I just saw was a real person.

Seth Rogan is so fucking great.

The end was decent
Recently saw "2010: The Year We Make Contact". It's not as good as 2001 because Kubrick wasn't involved but still fucking underrated
I recently saw the new Harry Potter movie.
I thought it was okay, but of course it felt very very crammed since the amount of material in the books needed to be covered.
All and all though I still enjoyed the book more, even though that's probably the popular opinion upon those who read the books before watching the movies.

I think just about everyone who isn't a hardcore Tarantino fan is going to be severely let down by Inglorious Basterds. Everyone will be expecting a lot more scalps and explosions and fighting and I can guarantee all of you it's going to be no Kill Bill. Either of the episodes. Expect a LOT of talking.

People who are expecting anything resembling a war movie are going to be dissapointed. Also, people who can't handle Tarantino's insanity are probably going to leave within the first 15 minutes. If he's describing it as a "masterpiece" then it's probably going to be weird as shit, in a great way.

Well, either way, I'm expecting at least a fairly good movie, and if it's at least that then I won't be disappointed really. I already heard that nobody thinks it compares to his best movies anyway, so my expectations aren't outrageous by this point.

I honestly don't know what to say about it. I think it's one of those movies that your perception of it depends entirely on the things you've experienced in your own life and your perception of love.
So without giving my entire opinion and sounding like a pussy, I really think everyone should make an effort to watch this movie because it really is astoundingly beautiful.

I just saw Into the Wild.
And holy shit. I looked at the box at walmart and it looked like a typical hippie type movie but bought it anyway. Turned out to be an awesome movie, best movie I've seen in atleast the past two years.
Just watched Coraline. It was pretty good, though the pacing seemed really strange and some parts of the movie felt like they were there just for the hell of it or just to seem strange for the novelty effect, but it was a good experience overall.
But good god, if nothing else, the movie looks absolutely gorgeous.

Yeah, the pacing kinda dragged it on, and a bit of it didn't really go anywhere, I dunno.
It was worth it for the awesome visuals, but if it were animated differently, I probably wouldn't have liked it at all.

Some parts dragged on, some parts happened way too fast (EPIC QUEST FOR 3 MYSTICAL EYES CONDENSED INTO 5 MINUTES). In general the pacing in the whole movie was just weird and unbalanced. But it's not a particularly big deal, I still liked the movie.

Oh by the way it's not like I've seen Inglorious Basterds, I'm just going off a million reviews. I'll probably like it a lot. I mean I loved There Will Be Blood and nothing happened in that movie lol

Looking back, Mel Brooks really isn't all that funny.
i watch movies:
troll - this was hilarious, old horror movie where a troll takes over an apartment complex and elane? from seinfeld before seindeld was in it.
the fall - really good movie that is a visual treat to watch definately check it
the dareeling limited - with owen wilson and it was really slow dry humor....but it was alright and interesting because it was so odd. one part was hilarious though when he's like "i didnt save mine"
formula 51 - drama about drugs with samual l jackson i didn't like how it just told the story and didn't leave any thinking to me, it was all given there was no cleverness or mystery....except the ending twist that was cool but unbelievable. also i just saw layer cake and death sentence so i was holding it to those standards.
layer cake - this is the dopest movie ive seen in a long time. enjoyed it thoroughly.
death sentence - movie with kevin bacon whos son gets killed by some gang, and kevin goes hulk on the gang, it was good too.
i love you man - best comedy ive seen in awhile....i quote myself after i watched it, "this might actually be worth buying"
electric apricot - from national lampoon even though its not a shitty softcore porno (i actually haven't watched many national lampoon movies since van wilder and that was alright ) but this one is by les claypool of primus and its a documentary style film that follows a jam band and its just hilarious its a little long but worth watching
my best friends girlfriend -dane cook it seemed kinda funny but i watched it with my parents so that kinda ruined it. they didnt find it as funny.
the soloist - this was really enjoyable, i really like robert downey jr. and it was interesting too.
neverwas - not a bad movie with gandalf in it who plays a crazy old guy
there will be blood - was good and you all have heard that enough
brutal massacre a comedy- this was pretty funny too i had already seen it before but totally forgot so i rented it
and i think 2 more movies but i can't think of what they are....

Troll 2 is... the best worst movie ever. We're having a Troll 2 party next week. Our third annual one. There's been screenings of it all over the place. There's even a documentary (http://bestworstmovie.com/) about it.

Quote from: Nyerp on August 17, 2009, 04:53:00 PM
uh...cute?
no doodthing;
I thought it was a cute movie. saddood;
The MST3K version of "Menos - The Hands of Fate" - So fucking awesome, though about 5% of the jokes are dated it's still really great. The actual movie was horrid though, as usual.
The Terminal - So good, Jesus just watch it. Tom Hanks is one of the best actors in history.
The Fall - Beautiful movie. It's better than The Cell in many ways but the dream sequences in The Cell are just amazingly awesome and creative. The Fall is much less produced and feels less Hollywood-like which is a good thing.
Fat Head - God the main character is annoying and very unfunny but thankfully that's not the point of it. It's kind of a follow up to Super Size Me, very well done but not as good looking as Super Size Me.
Pieces of The Cell as well.

Shaun of the Dead. Loved it.
Bigger Stronger Faster* - Seriously a well done documentary on performance enhancing drugs and sports. I suggest everyone who watches sports to see it because I think it makes me think a hell of a lot before I say "steroids" are bad now. Almost every athlete of recent years have done steroids. Arnold, Barry Bonds, Stallone, and the Hulk. Though it does put some dirt on my favorite actor, Arnold.
Up! (1976) - Russ Meyer is a old horny guy. Decent movie with tons of good tits. Believe it or not it was written by Roger Ebert. The poetic writing of the "narrator" was beautiful.
Fight Club. What a weirdass movie. It was entertaining, though.

FUCK, not sure whether to see District 9 or Inglorious Basterds
district 9 on thursday, slumdog millionaire last night.
my friend is still obsessing over district 9.. I thought it was good but nothing amazing. Slumdog was pretty good.
Inglorious Basterds was pretty Damn awesome.

Both.
They're both amazing.
Donnie Darko, Wtf
District 9 was awesome
Inglorious Basterds is really, really good. I don't think most people expected that 90% of it would be in French and German and take place mostly at tables. n_u
i saw the soloist
kinda boring but not bad
Obsessed. It's the one with Beyonce in it. It was pretty good. I think it could have been better but they definitely picked good actors. It wasn't boring so I liked it.
saw bastards last night
fucking amazing
like 5 minutes into mike meyer's part, some bitch shouted out "OMG IT'S MIKE MEYERS" and like 4 people shouted insults at her. It was funny.
Last night I watched 'The Whale And The Squid.'
It was GREAT it's about two parents who got divorced and the struggle the kids had. The best part in the movie is when the youngest boy humps a bookcase in his school library and then shoves his hands down his pants and rubs his cum all over the books. I laughed soo fuckin hard. Then he does it again and wipes his cum on some kids locker and gets in trouble. I laughed for like five minutes.

What is Love - Haddaway
YES
Definitely one of the better Haddaway films
I finally saw District 9 tonight. Awesome movie. There is definitely going to be a sequel.
The Weather Man - the only Nicholas Cage movie I really like besides Raising Arizona.
300 - FUCK ING GREAT. I put off watching it for so long cause I thought I really wouldn't like it. I ended up watching it last night and I LOVED it. It was freakin intense.
Why would you think you wouldn't like it Lacey? You're a flaming homosexual in a girl's body.

Anchorman
Animal House
Pineapple Express

In college they force me to watch movies. :(
Rounders - Yeah. It was boring. I don't even really remember it. Don't watch it.
Next Friday - So funny. I should have watched Friday before I watched Next Friday and I want to see Friday After Next.
But Next Friday was too funny. It was easy to pick up what was going on even though I didn't see the one before. It's got drugs and crazy black people in it so it was obviously going to be good. It's got Ice Cube in it though. But he's a decent actor.
Saw Halloween II today. It was okay, I guess.
I just saw Gummo, I actually sort of liked it, even though it was really fucked up, but at the same time interesting.

I loved the imagery, but I dont think I'll want to ever see it again. That scene where he's eating spaghetti in the bathtub still makes me squirm.
Now you have to watch KIDS.
In other news, I've been watching a lot of lynch for a class.

Yeah I know, the only thing that turns me off about KIDS is it seems to be just a porno. But yeah Gummo was amazing, I loved the beating the chair scene, and loved it more when I found out it was unscripted.
I dont know how korine got kids to act like that.

I read an interview where he said he casted the entire movie in 45 minutes at a Burger King and there were only five real actors in the movie.
I just finished Drag Me to Hell. It was a decent horror movie compared to the others that have came out lately. It had some good jump moments and the special effects were kinda cool in some points but others they were just hilariously bad.
The ending was different too
[spoiler]when she actually gets dragged to hell cause she had the wrong envelope.Better than the normal movie endings in the genre that have the people win eventually [/spoiler]

Go Ask Alice- I read the book and it was pretty good. So then I decided to rent the damn movie and it was so old and such a piece of shit. The acting was really terrible they need to remake it. The ending was a piece of shit as well. They didn't even show the bitch clawing at the closet door and shit.
Hostle 2- I've never seen the first one or anything but it was a pretty good movie. Really disgusting but the acting was very good. I would reccomend this to anyone who likes to watch disgusting movies with gore.

Inglorious Basterds. That was the tensest 2 and a half hours I've ever spent in a movie theater... I don't think it's as good as everyone says, but I wouldn't call it bad either
Four Rooms - Pretty good movie, I really liked Quentin Tarantino's scene but Roger Rodriguez's wasn't as good, you can clearly see that Roger likes the visuals and Quentin likes the dialogue. The first two scenes were also awesome.

It sucked.
Maybe, if I watched it from the beginning it would be better.
Watched some Cadillac Records today, but didn't finish it.
It was pretty good.
And saw Whip It in the theaters umm, Friday night, I think.
Good movie (:
So glad you guys like it...someone in my family actually does roller derby, she's awesome. giggle;
Watched Amelie for the third time, taking notes for class. God I love this film!
Where the wild things are :D
Also The Informant last week
Slow day, so we decided to kill it with some movies.
I loved KIDS and Gummo, so I decided to give Korine another shot with Mr. Lonely.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ufN1RxFu-4&feature=related[/youtube]
It was good. Not as good as I wanted it to be. Felt gimmicky at times and had a different vibe then the other two.
I still recommend seeing it.
I'm very hesitant to see movies like KIDS and Gummo, because I saw Ken Park and hated it, and they're all basically the same type of modern exploitation/shock films, it seems.

I disagree. Gummo had no plot or direction, but was ridiculously engaging because of how convincing it felt.
Not a perfect movie or a real enjoyable watch, but you get the feeling that you're strolling through Xenia and stumbling on a handful of its residents. I wouldn't call it exploitation.
Trailer Park Boys 2- Pretty funny. It was basically just a long ass episode. I think the first movie was much better. That's all.
LAST NIGHT I went and saw Stepfather AND Law Abiding Citizen.
THEY WERE BOTH FRICKEN SWEET.
Except the ending on Stepfather sucked a little bit but I generally enjoyed the whole thing.
LAW ABIDING CITIZEN was freakin sick. I enjoyed every damn minute of it. I was soo surprised by everything. I highly suggest this movie to everyone. Like god Gerard Butler is soo fuckin hot.

Dark City like 10 years late though.
Where the Wild Things are - So awesome, so weird, the child's imagination was captured damn well.
Robocop - It wasn't too much like Terminator (which was 3 years earlier.) It's like Terminator but not as unstoppable but way more brutal. The special effects are way better in Robocop and much more awesome looking. More blood, not as good story, not sure which is more cheesy. Watching the 2nd one tonight.

Robocop 2 - Entertaining at best but it's just more of the same. He does get all mangled up and the villain is pretty bad ass but fuck that kid.
Robocop 3 - Awesome movie, but what the shit with the villain? He was so fucking easy to kill and why the fuck are the kids always the smartest people in the whole movie. Loved the last line of the movie, laughed my ass off.

Rocky Horror Picture Show - I don't really remember any of it cause it was really hard to pay attention to. Cause it sucked so bad. AND my friend passed out cause it was so boring a long.
Drag Me To Hell- Not scary, don't bother watching it.
Fired Up- Pretty damn good. The boys were cute.
Deadgirl- Good movie but really isn't for everyone. There was some legit necrophilia rape scenes throughout the movie so a lot of people might not be able to deal with that. The acting was pretty good and the plot was interesting so I liked it.
then after that I watched Paranormal Activity which I liked even if it wasn't the greatest movie in the world. The main actress was cute too hocuspocus;

Paranormal Activity- Scared my pants off. I almost peed in them to.
Killshot- It was decent. It didn't have a very good story though.
Righteous Kill- Al Pacino, Robert Deniro &&&& 50Cent. Toooooo good. It was a surprise at the end though. CRAZY ending. 50Cent was really hot though. Then Rob Dyrdek came outta no where for like ten seconds. So good.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. This is an anime movie, so yeah, I'm sure a lot of you wouldn't bother with it simply for that reason. But I assure you it's a great movie.

well, i like it, but i wish it did more than just acting as a cheap sequel. the whole geostigma thing is a pretty iffy way to continue the story...it doesn't really make sense for the lifestream to become tainted like that because the lifestream has been shown before to be able to reject things, like sephy himself.
plus at the end it's just like "oh okay due to aeris' influence there's now some pure lifestream for you guys to be healed idk"

Saw Iron Man 2.
I know a lot of people have said the complete opposite, but whatever: I liked it better than the original. The action sequences are better and they take the whole "Tony Stark is really silly" thing way further.
Also, stay after the credits. It's not as impressive as for the first movie, but it's a nice surprise. You'd expect something along these lines, but not exactly that.

Akira and Howl's Moving Castle. I've been in an anime-y movie mood lately, and I loved the Akira books, so eh. The movie was good, but I feel like it could have been better in two or more movies, rather than one big one. They left out things (obviously), but they were things I feel would've made the entire experience better, drawing me in more, you know?
Howl's Moving Castle was adorable, like I expected from a Miyazaki movie. I loved it. It was cute, and I like cute things. happydood;
The Hurt Locker.
Pretty great movie. What I loved about it was the tension throughout the whole thing because you never knew when something was gonna fucking blow up. It was like one long suspense scene.
One thing that I was unsure of though...

Haven't even seen the first one and I thought it was alright.
there's this one guy in the pacific who looks just like mippo, except he's a little manlier. and it's kind of odd because he's one of the few semi-likable characters.
the pacific, itself, isn't very good. some episodes are great, but others are really bad or just mediocre. iwo jima and melbourne were pretty bad, and the whole peleilu sequence wasn't really that big of a deal. they should've done two episodes for iwo jima.

Saw Imagination, an indie flick about twins, one of whom is blind, and the other of whom is autistic, and all of the things they think up. It was subtle and interwoven, but just because it references itself doesn't mean it has a point. The cinematography was creative, the score was amazing, and the acting was strong, especially the main doctor character and the girls. I guess not bad.
Saw [Rec] 2 (great) and Moon (pretty good, though I need to rewatch)
Only minor cons I have with Rec 2, like logic things, but all in all it was a great movie.
I also saw Lovely Complex Live Action movie, it was pretty mediocre. Anime is far superior

[spoiler]Yes I liked it as well... however I don't get the part where they tell the CEO that they're going to go into his partner's dream to expose him.

I've been watching a lot of foreign horror films lately. The one that's stuck with me most is Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom. It's an Italian film, about all these 4 sick corrupt fascist libertines in the 40s who kidnapped a group of teenage boys and girls and stripped them of all humanity over the course of 4 months by subjecting them to all kinds of physical and sexual torture. The whole movie was incredibly depraved. I can't imagine how the actors and their families felt about the the things they did in that film.
i've found that movie completely lackluster when i've watched it with jmv
jmv just made poop jokes
although, my favorite scene was near the ending when the two ladies popped out and introduced themselves in an uppity manner among the dying

Watched 5cm/s last night, and The Place Promised in Our Early Days today because it's by the same guy. Loved them both, 5cm/s more so.
Also, I was reading on Wikipedia about the guy made these, and it said that some regarded him as "the next Miyazaki." But he was modest about it. Anyway, Studio Ghibli. I watched Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away last summer, and they weren't bad, but I really don't see why those two are praised so much.

Watched 5cm/s last night, and The Place Promised in Our Early Days today because it's by the same guy. Loved them both, 5cm/s more so.
The Place Promised was a little overdone for my taste, at least considering his personal style, but it was still quite good. 5cm/s, on the other hand, is his masterpiece if you ask me. He also has another one I've seen called Voices of a Distant Star, which is also wonderful, but 5cm is still better.
However, none of these films are as good as Spirited Away if you ask me, and no anime film ever is as good as Millennium Actress, a film by Satoshi Kon. Though I'm pretty sure I'm in a very small minority for praising Kon's work over Miyazaki's or Shinkai's.
The Road. It was endearing. There's a certain warm and quaint charm about it. The acting is acceptable, the script leaves something to be desired and the cinematography is agreeable. So in substance it's very much conventional, for sure, but in texture it is sublime. Overall it was an admirable effort and story worth learning.
It receives a solid two & a half socks. wrench;

Just watched Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and it was fucking amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a film that suspenseful before. The ending had me in such a "oh shit OH SHIT" state that it was like getting a whole new appreciation for film all over again.
So far this is my favorite of his films. Most critics seem to say "39 Steps" is his best, but honestly I don't think so. That was great too, and its ending was particularly awesome as well, but still...I dunno, I really preferred Rear Window.
Next I'll watch more Hitchcock, with "Rebecca," and then, if I can actually find it, "Spellbound."
I'm watching these because I missed my Hitchcock class a few times, so I have to catch up on the films I've missed on my own. On Tuesday, if I actually go to class (which I had better, for once), we'll be watching "To Catch a Thief" there.
Also, to do my paper for the class, I'll be buying "Notorious" soon.

I've had a class like that. :3
Yesterday morning I watched "Rebecca," another Hitchcock film. It was pretty damn good. Not amazing like Rear Window, but still pretty damn good. It's really interesting how Hitchcock subtly builds up this really dramatic tension all around a long-dead woman, to the point where the film's general eeriness almost makes it seem like she's going to come back as a ghost any second. She doesn't, of course, but it really feels like it at times - she has that much of a presence.
Also, I am currently in the middle of watching the Evil Dead trilogy. Watched the first fuck, and just about to watch the second fuck. Can't wait, because I hear the second film is where Ash truly becomes the badass antihero he's renowned for.
I watched Brick and Mr. Nobody recently.
Both movies were pretty awesome.
Brick was probably one of my favorite movies. I love Joseph Gordon Levitt giggle;
I saw Life During Wartime and Gone Fishin'

Dracula, the original. And no, I don't mean Nosferatu, from 1922 or something like that. I mean the 1931 Dracula, the first film to actually use the real name of the character, starring Bela Lugosi.
Man, Lugosi's stare is just creepy as fuck. Admittedly, when I started it, I was feeling like Dracula was going to be one of those films where I'm just like "this hasn't aged well at all, it must only be famous because of its historical importance," but it turned out to be genuinely good fun. Very creepy, atmospheric stuff. I particularly liked the scene where Van Helsing notices that Drac has no reflection.
Also, my verdict on Army of Darkness is that it's great, but Evil Dead 2 was considerably better. Some of the comedy in AoD was a bit overdone, particularly the stuff inside the windmill. It was like a worse version of the hand scene in ED2. Either way, I love the character that Ash developed into for AoD. So many quotable lines, too. "Gimme some sugar, baby."
Just got back from Red. I liked it. Saw somebody get blown up by a grenade.

Movies I've seen within the past week:
Fargo (1996) - Great film. Watched it on Friday with other Boyagers, of course.
Freaks (1932) - An unexpected treat. I knew nothing about the film, and at first I was a bit unsure what to think of it. I'm not sure why people think of this is a horror film - I mean, yeah, the climactic scene does portray the "freaks" as sort of horror figures, but you can't help but root for them, even if they do go a bit overboard.
Mark of the Vampire (1935) - Poor Bela Lugosi. He only has one line, and it stinks. The major, major twist ending is mostly pretty good, but that last line in the movie (Lugosi's) is just laughable. Overall, it's too derivative of Dracula (but can you blame them?), and the atmosphere is not as good as Dracula's by any means, but it's got a class of its own and I feel it holds up as one of those old Lugosi films everyone needs to see at least once (after Drac of course).
The Mad Magician (1954) - Awwright, Vincent Price. But...I mean, he does a good job as he pretty much always does, but other than watching him act, there's nothing too interesting about this movie. This is one of those early 3D films where suddenly atmosphere wasn't as important anymore. And, I dunno, most of the characters are a bit too thin, including Price's. Decent film.
House of Wax (1953) - I have yet to see the 30s original, but I've heard that this is often considered better. A remake - better? Don't hear that often. Price is much, much better in this than in Mad Magician, and his character is far more interesting. The only problem I have with this film is the pivotal scene of his "mask" breaking - that sure was one hell of a mask to work like a perfect face, and yet it was wax? Yeah I don't think so. Great movie, though.
The Haunting (1963) - Wow, now this is a unique movie. I don't believe I can think of any true "psychological horror" films that come before this one, or at least none that were popular enough to be known. There's some brilliant camera work, a wonderful sense of atmosphere, even some genuinely scary moments (the noises the house makes, those huge bangs, are actually extremely effective). This was a mostly brilliant movie, although I am a little iffy on the huge amount of internal dialogue in Eleanor's head. Plus, I wasn't way too happy with the ending.
North by Northwest (1959) - Possibly Hitchcock's most digestible and streamlined thriller, and also one of his best. I found myself comparing it very often to "The 39 Steps," but I suppose that's to be expected. Cary Grant was great, as always, though I think he was a bit better in "Notorious." One thing that I like more about this film than any other Hitchcock film, though, is the amazing soundtrack.
Quote from: Vault Dweller on October 23, 2010, 09:33:33 AM
Survival of the Dead was ok n_u
Nope. It was shit like Diary of the Dead.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - A weird experience, to be sure. I appreciate how much closer it follows the book than any other popular Dracula film, but it doesn't come without its problems. The opening scenes of Vlad, for example, are not particularly interesting to me. I also don't entirely like Van Helsing being such an asshole - he's supposed to be stern and brave, but also very scientific, not just some hyperactive vampire slayer. Also not way too fond of how often the odd camera work is abused, nor am I fond of Keanu Reeves. All things considered, though, it is a pretty good film...but I'd still rather watch the 1931 film.

The intimate Hermione/Harry dance scene was odd. And then the spiritual Horcrux breaking makeout scene went on for a little long. I guess Yates really wanted the love triangle to exist for movie watchers but everyone already knows what happens.
But that Bard Wand artsy explanation scene was fucking awesome.
best scene of the movie

I can relate to him too, in my general apathy towards forming close bonds. Actually I think one of the most compelling things about the story is that mostly everyone will probably in some way relate to Bateman, and that is sort of crazy because then you will have tons of people wondering if they actually have the mind of a serial killer.

UPVOTED
Drive-thru- Weird ass non scary horror/black comedy that came out in 2007. It's probably the weirdest movie I've ever seen. The plot was ridicoulous, the killer was even more ridicioulous, and the characters were so cliche and stupid it made me cringe. Kind of entertaining because of how silly it gets at times.
I also saw the first half hour of License to kill, I've never seen either of the Dalton Bond movies the entire way through. :(
I finally got around to watching Brokeback Mountain for the first time. It was good and I now understand all the hype about it.
The movie that i have recently seen is Black Swan of natalie portman. the dance and music in this movie is very good. I really liked it.

X-men and X-men 2 were ok.
X-men 3 was horrible
X-men Origins: Wolverine was plain stupid
X-men First Class is the better out of the 5
I saw First Class as well.
Honestly, I liked it better than Thor, and I liked Thor. Wasn't better than X2, and the first X-Men I barely remember. X-Men 3 was too plain. And I liked the Wolverine movie. For me, I think First Class might go in the middle.

if it wasnt about the green lantern RUB IT i wouldve hated it
dont get me wrong, it had some pretty humerous and nice parts, but it had little character development and felt extremely rushed, especially during the ending
if you like the green lantern, go see it
if not dont because its just an average superhero film

What movie are you talking about? Green Lantern I hope
I was at the drive-in and it was playing on the screen next to our while seeing Super 8. It seemed like whenever I looked over at it the green lantern was fighting some ridiculously huge blob of shit.
Watched The Beaver with Mel Gibson.
During the movie, I reminded Mel that he was a good actor, and he needed to be in more of the movie, and that that asshole that played his son needed far less screen time, but overall the movie was well worth my money.
Mel said fucked the jews and stole my gummies.
I saw Melancholia
What a worthless pile of shit. No suspense, boring/unlikeable characters, obnoxious heavy breathing throughout, repetitive musical score... the only saving grace is the pretty visuals, but my god this movie tries way too hard to be artistic and manipulate the audience's emotions
Red Riding Hood
It sucked. Hard.
yeah i saw super 8 like a week ago, it's great wrench;
watched The American. it sucked.
Watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Better than the first two.
but still shitty because Micheal bay sucks at everything
Starscream died in it :'( I cried a little
Let Me In
for an American adaption of an extremely good foreign film it isn't half bad. I think they missed some of the moods that the original hit on but beyond that it really isn't bad. I haven't completely finished watching it cause netflix is being dumb but I was really surprised.
I watched The Secret of Kells.
It was p. good, but it felt a little unfinished and could have been longer. Not exactly sure it was worth buying, but whatever.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
On the plane I watched limitless, the green hornet, sucker punch, and the beginning of "arthur"
Limitless was entertaining but cliched and obvious
The green hornet was a bastardization of a classic hero
Sucker punch had some awesome visuals and action scenes but they got repetitive by the end and some of the plot was a but too open ended
I only saw the beginning of arthur because my intelligence was so insulted by the giant golden bull balls that I turned it off
i don't remember arthur very well, but i at least recall it being completely unremarkable, so you didn't really miss anything yipper

War of the Worlds (2005)
Provided that it was required to watch as part of Sci-Fi, it was pretty good.
why would you watch that one and not the 50s one? that new one is just typical modern Spielberg emptiness. i honestly do not know why it was made other than to make money and for Spielberg to geek out a bit. it's the kind of film where there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it does nothing that wasn't already done better elsewhere...pretty boring.
the 50s film seems like it would be much more relevant to a course on sci-fi considering it is a landmark in special effects and even won an academy award for said special effects. it's certainly one of the most culturally relevant sci-fi films from the 50s.
i dont get why you wouldn't listen to the Radio Broadcast because that was better than the 50s film. (I M O)
Anyway, I just watched "Bullitt," a film probably better known for its car chase scene than anything else. It stars Steve McQueen in a role pretty typical for him, the anti-hero cop (Bullitt), as he pieces together a case involving a dead witness that was supposed to be used in court to expose a crime syndicate.
It was very well made, especially as far as sound and editing go (I think it even won an Academy Award for editing), but I almost feel like its pacing was a bit of a problem for me, and I feel like the issue of Bullitt's girlfriend was unresolved and sorta tacked on. But it does add to the depth of his character, if nothing else.
In a spectrum that goes from "slow, intelligent crime drama" to "action cop movie," it's somewhere in the middle. And that's fine. I was sort of in the mood for something a bit more fast-paced though.
Highlights included basically everything taking place in the hospital scenes (wonderfully shot, reserved scene of the surgeons at work, in particular), the car chase, and the very end of the film.
Oh, and McQueen is great of course. But I liked him most in "The Great Escape."

Saw The Help
good movie, emma stone will be my sex slave
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
It was p.good.
the best movie i've watched recently was the 70s version of invasion of the body snatchers
definitely one of my favorite movies ever now
i've also watched dirty harry, dog day afternoon, and loads of other 70s and 80s movies that i can't remember
i slept through sherlock holmes 2
oh i watched It's a Wonderful Life the other night. i wouldn't consider it one of James Stewart's better roles but all in all it was a good movie. it may be one of the more overrated classic movies i've seen though. the pacing kind of irked me, how there's so much "normal movie" before it suddenly turns allegorical for the last 25 minutes.
sherlock holmes 2 was pretty good, but i liked the first a lot more
i was pretty mad at sherlock for not allowing world war 1 to happen twenty years earlier. motherfucker could've changed the course of history wariodood;
but stephen fry's cameo was quite nice
I haven't seen any movies in theaters since J.Edgar but I watched Limitless on Netflix the other night.

it was very well made AND THE ENDING WAS SO fantabulous
ken clark was too try hard
it could have been a better film--but it was incredibly dry, too extreme, and the patterns were so obvious and similar that i almost fell asleep, and everyone was some type of cookie-cutter personality
next: network
after that: Will Be Blood (again, because my friend gave me a new point of view and wants me to watch it again--something tells me he never got over his childhood trauma...and i might be developing feelings for him AAAAAAAAAAH he got me into watching films again)

Magnolia is a great movie
also do you mean Ken Park??? i never liked that movie much, it's extremely self-indulgent and boring and "oh wow, shock factor!"
anyway i just got done watching "Stripes," a Bill Murray comedy...it was decent.

girl;
Do I need to explain, Tec?
Please do. sillydood;
I'll explain on my day off for you. But I'm glad you liked it.
[spoiler]I like it more than Rocky Horror. sillydood;[/spoiler]
Quote from: Sudoroodo on May 18, 2012, 09:00:37 PM
Please do. sillydood;
OoOoOoOokay, so. The best way to explain this movie to someone who hasn't watched the movies is like this. Ocarina of Time compared to Majora's Mask. A lot of the characters return from the previous movie, you get the same sort of action in the movie, but the concept and overall feel are opposites.
Both movies are about breaking from the norm, while still understanding laws and regulations must be followed, but Shock Treatment has more of a liberal (See: evil communist Europeans) message to it. Strangely enough, Denton U.S.A is actually based in Denton Texas, about two hours from where I live. giggle;
The REAL sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show ("Rocky Horror Shows His Heels", then "The Brad and Janet Show", then on to "Shock Treatment") was going to be about the Queen of Transylvania resurrecting her son Frank'n'Furter to find the then pregnant Janet Weiss, who was unsure if the baby's father was Brad, Rocky or Frankie. However, there were many complications. At the time of the filming, there was a huge actor's strike going on, preventing any sort of filming of outside locations. Secondly, because Rocky had gained popularity a little later after its release, a lot of the actors couldn't come back due to previous engagements. And Susan Sarandon wanted half a million. sillydood;
Add limited time, a very limited budget and Fox breathing down their necks, you get Shock Treatment. Though it was a commercial bomb and people very much disliked it at the time, it has gained popularity since then.
What's weird about the movie is in the 80's there was no such thing as reality television. Yet the movie not only eerily predicted television for the next 30 years, but filmed itself as such.What you're watching is supposed to be what the people of Denton were watching at home. A theme of the media taking over our lives. And you've probably caught on to the overly satirical conservative life the people live there, too. That's another factor. In the 80's (and still today in some parts of Texas), things like homosexuality, interracial marriages, etc. were still as taboo as they were in the 50's . Another symbol is America's broken medical system and capitalism, which Farley's little neo-swastika should have made it all clear.
But hey, the Tea Party. I don't want to piss David off though. Let's continue. sillydood;
Now, to the actual movie itself. The movie is described as "not a sequel, not a prequel, but an equal". I can see how it would be a sequel in many ways, but the movie should be determined the way you see it.
You see Brad and Janet entering DTV studios, which happens to be the actual physical home of Denton. All the citizens live there. They live their lives as a television show. And as they enter, you see Janet and the "emotional cripple" Brad (which ironically is the only god damned sane citizen of Denton) enter and are placed in the "Marriage Maze" television show.[glow=black,2,300] As you learned, the whole thing was set up by his evil twin brother, Farley.[/glow] Bert Schinck condemns Brad to DENTONVALE, where he's treated unethically for his [glow=black,2,300]infantile regression.[/glow] Bert is Farley's little pawn, and practically seduces him into his position.
As part of the plan, in coordination with the rest of DTV [glow=black,2,300]the Denton Dossier was cancelled to make room for Janet's debut as the new "Miss Mental Health" for Farley's new Mental Health Program.[/glow] The reason was that the Denton Dossier was unbiased in its programming, where the rest of the shows praised Farley and his agenda. As Janet climbs to become a star, everyone practically becomes horny for her. And she gets an ego bigger than Susan Sarandon's tits. That's big, if you didn't know. During their rehearsals, we come to find out Nation and Cosmo are friends of Bert, and he brought them to Denton. DENTONVALE has the lowest rating of all shows, so something must be done. Fortunately for Nation, she happens to stumble upon Bert [glow=black,2,300] in the bathroom with Janet, trying to peep on her. Bert's not blind at all.[/glow] Nation uses this to her advantage afterwards, during the musical segment "Shock Treatment". [glow=black,2,300]She then exposes Bert. However, to get the ratings, faith and backing of Farley rather than exposing Bert as a fake, the simply act as if their treatments can go as far as healing the blind.[/glow] Harry and Emily Weiss, Janet's parents, then get swept up with the DENTONVALE crew and are all part of the program from that point on.
You probably don't need this explained, but the "Looking For Trade" song segment is about Janet regretting her stardom and the song itself is about the vanity of the celebrity lifestyle.
At that point, both Brad and Janet are so drugged and fucked up, they soon fall in under the program. Farley's FAITH FACTORY show is a symbol of both political and religious blindness. Everyone has fallen under his spell, but Betty Hapschatt and Judge Oliver Wright do a little research after the Denton Dossier was closed. On their silly little 80's DOS computer, Betty comes to find out [glow=black,2,300]Bert's not the only fake. Both Nation and Cosmo McKinley are character actors as well. [/glow] Just another "LOOK HOW FUCKED UP AMERICA'S MEDICAL SYSTEM IS" sort of thing.But nobody knows or cares. [glow=black,2,300]They also come to find that Brad and Farley were separated as children. And this entire operation was done out of spite and jealousy.[/glow] Moving on.
Towards the end, when Brad [glow=black,2,300]escapes Dentonvale[/glow] Janet snaps out of it and the truth is exposed to Denton and all of the world. Brad and Janet are soon disowned by Denton, while the rest celebrate in their prison. The ending scene itself is also pretty obvious with the straight-jackets and whatnot.
SO. That's that. And I mentioned before that the two movies are opposites. This is true in the music department.
Think:
Sweet Transvestite/ I Can Make You a Man VS. Thank God I'm a Man
I'm Going Home VS. Breaking Out
Super Heroes VS. Anyhow, Anyhow
The themes simply mirror each other.
I've super super condensed the summary. If you have anymore questions, let me know. giggle;

Yea I didn't really like,
[spoiler]How they didn't answer the main question. I would have rather they ended it with that and then just didn't set up for a sequel. It gave the movie a sense of incompleteness.[/spoiler]
Also,
[spoiler]Also, David's motivation to poison that guy might have been because he and his girlfriend were really the only two who shared the "oh shit im so fuckin excited to meet our maker and see what grand plan he had for us", whereas the guy sort of just insulted David when he asked him why man created him. Idk, just an idea.[/spoiler]
ALSO,
[spoiler]I'm kind of thinking, since the octopus was made from that black slime shit that apparently creates super creatures, maybe a combination of DNA from the octopus + the Engineer created a hybrid sort of species (the Alien) that is the best of both worlds.[/spoiler]
I also saw Prometheus
I liked it pretty good.
also the octopus thing kinda looked like some sort of face hugger
yeah the movie's writing was a mess and it kind of sucked overall but i guess it looked cool????
[spoiler]david was being controlled by weyland, guys
he doesn't have any 'motivation' to do anything not programmed into him and it would be a little silly to have a robot character make decisions completely on his own
....or would it????????
idk im tired of thinking about this fukken movie
but wait, "How does the octopus raping the engineer create the alien?"
what kind of question is that
that's like asking "WAIT WHY DOES SOMEONE GETTING SUPER-DEEPTHROATED BY ONE OF THOSE FACEHUGGERS MAKE A BABY ALIEN POP OUT OF THEIR CHEST" about the other movies[/spoiler]

i saw Jiro Dreams of Sushi . Beautifully shot, very "japanese" in it's visuals. Lots of simple but strong shots. The movie is about Jiro and his Sushi restaurant (which is the best in Japan/the world) and that's really it. There are little subplots, like who is going to take over the restaurant when Jiro retires (more like, will the guy who is taking it over be able to run it properly.) Really great movie to watch if you want to watch something but don't really want to get too emotionally involved in a storyline or whatever. Seriously a++ movie would watch again (maybE)

Argo
Taken 2 (was ok)
Argo (great)
Frankenweenie (alright)
Sinister (meh)
Seven Psychopaths - pretty solid
Boogie Nights - quite great
Cloud Atlas - Good, but I'm not sure how good. Just kind of a lot of stuff going on without a true aim.
Cloud Atlas sucked

skyfail was the first james bond movie that i actually sat all the way through bassir;
Saw Skyfall on Friday night. It was pretty good I loved it from start to finish.
I loved how they made throwbacks to classic bond
Javier Bardem's bond villain was fantastic too.
one of the friends that went with me thought it was stupid just because:
a) Silva didnt wan't to destroy the world, but instead take revenge on MI6 and M
b) there was no gadgets in it, because apparently James Bond is supposed to be the British equivalent of Batman (even though they said that the Craig Bond films wouldn't have many gadgets in them)

no i just would've liked the movie to feel more like a universe of video games instead of this thing disney created and threw some cameos in to get "the gamer demographic". i heard it compared to who framed roger rabbit and was severely disappointed. and i get that roger rabbit didnt offer substantial role to the cartoon characters featured, but it did feel like a toontown or whatever, as opposed to wreck it ralph's "ok we've got this movie set in an arcade that could kind of do ok on it's own merit but maybe we could throw some actual videogame characters into the mix and market it like that."
I like how they incorporated q'bert into the mix, as well as the bad guys anonymous thing. The rest kind of fell flat (the villain was pretty lame imo, and this is by far my least favorite silverman role.) John C. Reilly was great, as well as kenneth from 30 rock. Jane Lynch did her standard "gruff woman" thing and its kind of tiresome at the point.
i mean it's an ok movie at best but got overhyped by the game cameos.
no maybe you overhyped it because all you wanted to see was mario and sonic doing stupid shit for 90 minutes
no maybe disney saw another mediocre animated film and thought "marketing marketing marketing"

Hitchcock
it was ight.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Bore
the hawbot
indie game:themovie
enjoyed it, though a bit long.
I was glad the some things worked out, like the Meat Boy guys making bank etc. etc., but that wasn't really anything I didn't already know. But it was an interesting look at some "indie developers" and worth a watch.
just got back from the hobbit
honestly it was as good as i expected. basically, quite good for an adaptation of part of the book, but inherently a bit less interesting than the rings saga. as pretty much expected it has more comedic silly moments, since the book did as well. but it's still done in basically the exact same style otherwise as the rings movies. except, i dunno, the pacing kinda does weird things.
i don't really see how the movie is getting so much flak and such from critics though because it's not really that different from the rings saga lol
one thing though - they embellished and changed things here and there to make it tie into the rings saga better. sauron is directly mentioned, and it's foreshadowed that he's coming back. even the witch king himself makes an appearance. sort of, at least. it's been a long time since i read the book, but i definitely don't remember that being there. nor do i remember galadriel herself ever appearing in rivendell. and the necromancer is just much more important than he was in the book. honestly i hardly even remember that in the book.
oh and it is a bit over long yeah
okay so apparently actually some of the extra content (e.g. the ring being more important, the necromancer being more important, saruman turning evil) is not really extra so much as it's from the "extended" version of the hobbit that tolkien had written later
http://dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/38238171936/where-the-extra-content-in-the-hobbit-came-from
Total Recall
it was ok
the hobit
i'm kind of annoying that it's going to be a trilogy after watching it. maybe it could have a sequel, but i think that they are milking it way too much. the movie was good but i thought that a lot of the new content was stupid. it was pretty too.
After a number of decades, I got to see "No Time For Sergeants" again. n_u
Oh yeah, I saw The Hobbit like last Monday, and I thought it was pretty cool. Though I wanted a little bit more right then and there. Haven't read the book yet. Probably will get to that soon. (And I kind of did the same for the Lord of the Rings, I didn't read that stuff until after I saw the first move.)
Quote from: Fuck on November 14, 2012, 09:18:12 AM
it is very clear from today's proceedings who the little shit really is
ive been watching a lot of quirky romantic comedies for whatever reason, or movies with love as a theme. not necessarily romantic comedies.
Moonrise Kingdom was great. I liked it better than Anderson's last two efforts. Kids did a good job blah blah blah.
Seeking a Friend at the End of the World was pretty good. Steve Carrell did a good job in his role. He plays an insurance salesman who is afraid to take risks but then he meets this lady and they venture out to see the people they want to see before the world ends. At first it's a little boring but the end is full of feels whatever.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Good movie. Would have liked it more if I hadn't watched SaFatEotW previously. One big fear of mine is that the people I'm with will want me "erased" from their memory, and that is what the movie is about.
to break it up a little bit, I watched a documentary on the actor Spaulding Grey. Can't remember what is was called. Grey pretty much does one man shows. All autobiographical. He is a hell of a storyteller. Had kind of a sad life at the end, offed himself in 04. Anyway, if anyone is interested in him watch Swimming to Cambodia. then maybe this documentary. whatever it's called.
I watched Punch Drunk Love
weird movie. bizarre pacing, incredibly slow at the beginning and you don't really develop a connection with the characters until the very end and you get sucked in then boom credits. Sandler is not a good actor at all. The girl what plays his sister is bad too. They both give their line under some robot spell. Sandler's gf in the movie is good, as well as Phillip Seymore Hoffman but you'd be hard pressed to find a movie he doesn't deliver in.
so yeah i am glad i wATched it but idk if i would watch it again.

it's more or less a straight adaptation of quest of erebor which is an expanded edition of the hobbit that tolkien himself wrote. very little is actually "new." it's pretty much just the extra sub-story with the white orc still being alive that's new.
donnie darko
i cant hear a word these people are saying 0/10
i honestly really hate that about some movies. like i get when a moment is supposed to be quiet. people are talking with normal inside voices. it's probably a poignant scene with poignant dialogue. but i have to turn it up really high to hear what they're saying. and then suddenly GUNFIRE SO LOUD IT SHAKES MY ROOM HOLY SHIT WHERE'S THE FUCKING REMOTE AHHHH

great movie. The twist at the end was good too
Looper, was phenomenal. Best of 2012.
Zero Dark Thirty
silver linings playbook
oh so yeah the other day i watched The Godfather Part III and it was really underwhelming and i didn't like sofia coppola's performance at all and the ending was shoddy
and the whole thing just felt so unnecessary, like why should i care about this young upstart and why is michael corleone so boring now i don't really need to see him get old

Thor for the third time
easily my favorite Marvel film
thor felt so short and kind of like it only existed to introduce thor for the avengers really
maybe it's just because of how small-scale it was
but yeah uh Primer was good but I didn't understand the last 20 minutes or so
Hugo was a lot better than I expected, lots of cool movie history

i still haven't seen the avengers though lol
Wreck it Ralph.
it was good, nothing to write home about though.
The Master
was really good
Taken 2
Flight
They were... ok, I guess.
orson welles' othello. i watched for a school assignment. i wish othello slayed more nerds and didnt whine like a bitch. it owned when he killed his wife tho
watched the master which was pretty good but it meandered around and could have been shorter but all the actors were outstanding.
also watched some AVANTE GARDE films by hollis brown which were too deep for me but i liked the one with the goldfish
watched Les Miserables with the gf last night.

Man of Steel
it was p.bad like all of Zack Snyder other movies.
i thought watchmen was decent and yes i read the comic beforehand
First hour or so of Man of Steel is choppy as fuck.
Then they try to darken superman up, a la The Dark Knight when superman isnt supposed to be that dark.
This furthers my opinion on most of the DC heroes would probably do better as TV shows like Smallville, ànd Arrow.
I would really hate it if they made a sequel.
4/10. i really wanted to like this, but the first hour of it didnt help at all.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 33 based on reviews from 93 critics
must suk
from what i've heard when it was shown at film festivals lots of people walked out, probably because it's fairly gorey
it's very slow, quiet, and violent, so if you didn't like drive this just amplifies everyone's complaints with that by a huge margin
i think it's a love-it-or-hate-it thing, i personally loved it
oh and half the movie's in thai

watched Tokyo Godfathers that was a good movie. kind of glad it wasn't as cerebral as some of satoshi kon's other stuff (tho im sure there are extra levels if you were to dig deeper)
its definitely a nice break from his other movies, it's nice that he's got something different like that. but his other movies are still better imo (and paranoia agent is too)

beaivis boothead do amercia
iam the great cornholio
beavis and butthead do america
The Spectacular Now - surprisingly good, well acted, decent soundtrack 6/7
Finally saw abraham lincoln vampire hunter.
Was really enjoyable, if a little cheesy
The Lords of Salem
all of my WTF
other than that it was good 6/10
Iron Man 3
saw planetes the movie gravity
p'good
saw Thor races in Formula 1 cars tonight. It was ok
Gravity in IMAX 3D. Please go see it that way if at all possible, it was a fucking experience. 7/7
My mom was on the verge of tears the entire time
I saw Gravity in stupid regular theater. It was extremely stressful, and pretty darn entertaining. 7.8/10.
I can't even imagine how it was in IMAX. Damn IMAX by me wasn't playing it....
an unreasonable man. doc about ralph nader who is a cool guy
Thor: The D
Saw Thor: The Dark World last night.
it was MUCH better than the first Thor.
also Guardians of the Galaxy RUB IT
Bad Grandpa - why why
12 Years A Slave - very good but probably a bit too much hype
we went to see catching fire
Catching Fire.
It was p.bad
Jennifer Lawrence can't act worth a damn.
watched You're Gonna Miss Me about 13th Floor Elevators singer/guitarist Roky Erickson
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVFLqzJB6qw[/youtube]
I saw a bunch of movies with my family during thanksgiving break
On Netflix: Hercules, ParaNorman, Hunger Games
In theaters: Frozen, Thor 2, Catching Fire
With extended family: The Heat
It's been so long since I last saw Hercules in my childhood that I hardly remembered it
ParaNorman is a sorta-funny and ridiculous zombie/ghost movie
This was my first time watching Hunger Games (and its sequel) and I think they're good. I don't read books.
Frozen is really great, probably my favorite non-Pixar Disney film
Thor is good, I liked the silly portals fight, but it's also silly in some less appealing ways (like that romance)
The Heat is... fine, I guess. I felt like many parts were really awful, but it was occasionally amusing.
ParaNorman is the best animated movie of 2012
Just watched Hatchet.
Was totally not bad.
Cant go wrong with kane hodder
well...
frankenhooker was kinda fun

Anchorman 2.

Tina Fey and Amy Pohler are in it.

The book is better tbh.
Also they made it clear in The Hunger Games that they do the games for punishment for district 13 rebelling and so no other district follows in not rebelling against the capital

that movie is great but i still don't understand why because it's both well-made and oddly thoughtful at times and yet still campy in a typically japanese way
kind of a weird mish-mash but i think it's great
isnt that why everyone likes tarinitno
walter mitty - pretty, had some funny parts, a little cheesy and had a few parts i found silly, but overall it was quite a bit better than i expected
saw frozen
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU0NjI3OTA0OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDQ1OTQ1MQ@@._V1_SX640_SY720_.jpg)
We watched this tonight. It's an odd movie.
The environments take place on live-action model sets with the characters animated on top. The movie features just these two characters (with the radio announcer included) talking to each other the entire time.
They're survivors of a nuclear fallout with Russia during the cold war.
The entire movie, you watch them go from being a happy, old couple to sick, radiated corpses.
A very unsettling art style (camera angles and characters constantly shaking) and a very sad but humbling ending.
the hobbit - liked it more than the first one, which i also quite liked.
saw catching fire, way better than the first
watched Her
i have to say- i think i overhyped it lol
but anyway:
The atmosphere of the movie- I love it. There are some good quotes in this movie. The setting of it being a not so distant future was pretty cool and seemed damn realistic. There were many concepts that haven't been truly thought of in depth for a few things. It was first-world as Hell.
Starting was a bit slow. I didn't truly felt attached to the characters throughout the movie. Theodore Twombly reminds me of myself- a just a little more out-going. When I got used to Samantha being there, it eventually seemed as if she was another person- but I guess that's to be expected as an artificially intelligent operating system. They had their good times, bad times, etc.. There were some pretty interesting scenarios with dating an operating system, too.
I liked Theodore- I can seem myself being him in the future.
07.02/10.00 - Lackluster in many parts and some unnecessary flashbacks that try to redeem for more emotion. Could have been better, but I liked the general atmosphere of the movie and the concept of dating an operating system was very interesting along with trying to judge the value of emotions one dedicates to an operating system. I'd watch a few more times in the future.
[spoiler]It seemed like a long-distanced couple's relationship just without Samantha describing any kind of physical feeling like touching, tasting, and smelling. But she could see and hear. [/spoiler]
Did he end up fucking the operating system
Quote from: Sif on January 11, 2014, 03:19:12 PM
Did he end up fucking the operating system
[spoiler]I can't remember if he had the ear piece and the little gadget thing for the operating systems in his hand or if it was on his night stand, but Theodore was on his bed in his night wear and both Samantha and him eventually fantasized outloudand started moaning. It was kind of funny because all of this is in his head, and the audience is just seeing him and a gadget moaning. That must have been an intense imagination for him, lol. They didn't show below and mostly up to his face and torso.[/spoiler]
i watched ~amour~ today, i'm sure nobody else has watched it but it was well don etc
Saw "Her" with cindy.
it was good but not some amazing emotional work of art that I've seen some reviews make it out otbe.
those with flesh gf will not understand
Lone Survivor a few days ago. I liked it a lot but I think the director didn't need to change some of the details to make it seem more movie-esque in the many incorrect but significant plot and story endings. It just tries to add some sort of ordained order or moral to the event, and be two things at once, fact and fiction. Wont't matter for the average folk, but nevertheless I feel it does somewhat of a disservice. Otherwise accurate though in real life it was more brutal and prolonged.
[spoiler]best open source on Op Red Wings (http://www.darack.com/sawtalosar/)[/spoiler]
Got around to YoYo Girl Cop.
Its totally..... not too bad actually.
Other than the title and that, yeah the weapon is a yoyo, the story premise is pretty good, cjaracters are interesting enough, and solid action.
But you know, coming from the battle royale people, i see similarities to the two.
But yeah, enjoyed it enough especially since it only cost two bucks
I watchex the Mitt Romney documentary on Netflix just now. The obvious goal of the movie is to humanize Mitt, and it succeeds. Throughout the movie I was wondering "Man if this came out sometime before the election, would Mitt have fared better?" but then I remembered the Obama documentary that came out around the same time and from a political standpoint it probably would have been counterproductive or wraught with controversy.
During the course of the movie you almost end up rooting for him. Gone is the media portrayed desperation of "This is a Man who will do anything for president" and presented it a man who earnestly believes in everything he's saying. It's easy to forget the 49(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9KDkGCNhxFg/UMnaB1pIz-I/AAAAAAAASRs/ZbLJMmpi92U/s1600/percent-sign.jpg) controversy and some of his debate stammerings (they're in the movie, but only touched on. And somewhat unsatisfactionaly touched on at that) The glimpses of Media Romney are still there. The names of his family and staffers embroidered on the cushions of his first class plane (is this standard of all first class planes? how much does this cost? do they get to keep the cushion after the election??) the immaculate makeup and presentation of his wife (who is 65???) all his staffers having ipads, iphones, mac computers, traveling first class. These things are not unique to Romney's campaign I'm sure, but I can't help but have a bad taste in my mouth seeing all of it. Further proof that the wealthy and the "elite" are the true powers that be.
In the end it's an enjoyable documentary that is well thought out and definitely sheds some light onto the viscious political circus that is the Presidential Election
the darjeeling limited: 5/10

I got 2 tickets, 2 large icees, and a large popcorn all for 3 bucks.
Thanks promotions. baddood;
I bought something from Express and got a voucher for 2 tickets (really a $32 one time credit).
This pushed me over the the amc stubs reward which gave me $10 to spend.
AMC had a promotion where you buy a popcorn and large icee and get another free so i bought one large popcorn nad one large icee which would have been $14 but the the discount made it $13 and my rewards pushed it down to $3.00 and i got a second free iceee.

watched born into brothels.
very touching to me. but i have mixed views on it on how zana briski wanted to handle the kids' situations and lol photography... i cried once when the kids were on their way to school.
then in the end i felt sad about the follow-ups on the kids. broke my heart for some of these kids
i would recommend this documentary if you want to watch some "save the kids" doc.. but it's not truly informational on the background of the brothels if you're looking for more objectiveness
i wish this was handled better somehow

I get he blew up all his suits at the end of ironman 3 but he's tony fukken stark.
what about the hulk doe. why isn't he helping?
or at least motherfuckign hawkeye. i mean his bff black widow is all up in the movie and he can't come and shoot a fucking arrow to take down a ship?
Thor i can understand because he's all in thorland and shit
I guess you can make that argugement for anythign in the mcu after the first avengers but this one is particular in that shield is affected and it's what ties them all together. [/spoiler]

I liked it at first, but i think the more time goes by it will probably be regarded the same way as the american movie. Intial entertainment that doesn't deserve a rewatch and it alright to be forgotten.
ALSO HOLY SHIT YOU COULD PUT A CARDBOARD CUTOUT IN THE MAIN CHARACTER ROLE AND GET MORE EMOTION FROM HIM. WHAT A SHITTY ACTOR.

agreed
he was the worst part of the movie but i liked the movie a lot lol, and i don't think it will be considered like the 98 godzilla simply because the story is more similar to the old ones, no baby godzillas, and the actual design looked fairly traditional (also fighting other monsters)

Cannabis Kid
Unusual Suspects
Austin Powers 1, 2, 3
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
in the last month. Missing a ton.
This Is Where I Leave You, expected a cheesy lighthearted comedy, got a comedy-drama mix with a few twists, still slightly cheesy but very good
The Virgin Suicides.
I didn't know Sofia Coppola made a movie before Lost in Translation. I really enjoyed the movie. Movie about a seemingly normal family of seven (Mom dad and five daughters) who undergo a sudden tragedy and their lives in a year. If you enjoy existential teen crises then you'll get a kick outta this.

Besides Lost in Translation, which is really wonderful, I don't think there's anything that woman's done that I can tolerate.

Boyahood was really really good
Man, I watched this this past week....
I thought it was cool that it was filmed over twelve years and everything. Neat dynamic.
First bit when the kid is growing up was actually pretty good.
But, holy shit, the teenage years and beyond is just utter fucking shit. Pretty much everyone else in that movie is more interesting than that kid.
Super ham-fisted. Hated this.
didnt she make the goodfella movies

Synecdoche, New York
It was very fantastic, I thought there was so much meaning to be had. Being John Malkovich still is my favorite of his, then Eternal Sunshine, but this one is so fucking solid. I have seen most of Charlie Kaufman's movies, makes me want to watch the last one I haven't seen: Adaptation.
Syndoche was fucking crazy loved that movie
Eyes Wide Shut
Hammering out the last few Kubrick flicks as well. I knew this movie was going to be weak compared to his others, the boobs were great but the emotion and drama in the story were lacking. I blame Tom Cruise.

Yes it was, I really liked the story. Seemed like what he tried to do with Adaptation. but it turned out better in S,NY.

yeah mockingjay pt 1 isnt as good
what a non-surprise smth;
Jennifer Lawrence is a bad actor
after seeing all of jennifer lawrence i can no longer view her as an actress
Birdman - pretty fucked up and claustrophobic, but interesting, funny, and very good
Just watched Frozen. It was good, Olaf was fucking retarded though
Just watched Nebraska. I'm a little shocked that it got the accolades that it did, but I will say that the movie is well put together and an enjoyable watch. It's about this old man who gets one of those marketing sweepstakes things telling him that HE HAS WON A MILLION DOLLARS if the code on his letter matches the winning code So he sets off to Lincoln Nebraska in spite of everybody telling him the letter is a scam. I think the movie also does a great job at capturing rural America. Despite it's Midwestern setting I could see a lot of my family and neighbors as characters in this movie.
Just finished Expendables 3.
As with the first 2, it was an enjoyable action movie cliche.

Into the Woods was actually p. good
american history x

saw the hobbit: the battle of the five armies. the lady in front of me thought it was the most hilarious movie in the world, that's all i can remember
and saw guardians of the galaxy was okay
I've been watching The Holy Mountain over and over, I like it a whole bunch

you should revisit it if you're willing, i've been having a blast showing it to friends. i bought El Topo just the other day because I want to see this dude's other shit now
i want to watch el topo, i read he was doing a sequel called El Toro but idk if he is actually going to make it .
I watched Whiplash and damn son I had a great time

i loved the master but it went on kind of long. i hear there will be blood is the one to watch but i havent seen it so i can't rec it.
it is pretty faithful to the source material, as in that it was as mediocre as the book.
Fury
Brad Pitt is 2 sexy with that fade
watched ghost world
8/10 steve buscemi did a good job. the girl who played enid was kind of tiresome tho
I watched Birdman and really liked it, although [spoiler]I wasn't a super huge fan of the ending. It was alright, but I just felt kind like it cheapened the experience. I felt like the movie should have ended with him killing himself during the play. I feel like that would have been a more powerful ending, as much as I am for weird ambiguity during the endings of films.[/spoiler]
I saw Frank and really enjoyed that! Check it out if you're into weird people and tunes!
I'd give both of those films an 8/10.
very soon im goign to rewatch the lost skeleton of cadavra
i feel that it's truly underrated
i love it
best acting
not even being sarcastic lol
Interstellar
let's travel through black holes
Breathless - 9/10 wow good movie
Pierrot le Fou - 7/10 good movie
Just finished the Fatal Frame movie.
was pretty good..... 7/10 i suppose.
probably better if it was it's own thing, but not bad
Age of Ultron
It was pretty good
the new mad max was amazing wrench;

Really great.
i just rewatched that a few days ago. tthat movie is so weird.
Fargo is one of my absolute favorite films
me and kaz went to go see avengers 2.
was great
Watched two movies recently
Hammett, which was about Dashiel Hammett (who created the detective characters Sam Spade and Nick & Nora Charles). It put Hammett in the detective spot, asking him to solve the case of a missing Chinese prostitute. This was the second Wim Wenders movie I've seen (The first was Wings of Desire) and so far he's 2 for 2.
Also I watched a documentary on Fela Kuti called Finding Fela. The documentary covers his entire life and includes various clips from the Fela musical that opened sometime in like 2009 or something. The musical bits don't do anything for me, but there was enough footage from the Africa 70/Egypt 80 periods to make me like the doc. I think that if you can watch the documentaries before this you get a better understanding about who Fela was and his importance at the time. (there are several and they list them at the end of Finding Fela.)
tomorrowland was p. decent
Me and Kaz just watched Horror of Dracula in honor of Christopher Lee
lurt cobain: montage of heck
Jurassic World
not big and dumb like I expected, it was a solid Jurassic Park movie so yeah thumbup;
i want to see it ^
Just saw Jurassic World. Nice to know The Lost World and III are no longer canon and the series can start anew and be better for it wrench;

I don't care how "cheesy" world's ending was. I loved it.
just watched both breakfast club and ex machina
breakfast club was basically what i expected it to be but i still liked it
ex machina
[spoiler]for the first 2/3rds of the movie it was exactly as i anticipated and i figured that the main character would fall in love with the robot and run away together and have complicated feelings
was pretty impressed with the direction it took. there were still some holes, like why the fuck would the genius dude rely on key cards that were easily compromisable for security? and why wouldn't he give the AI a built in "safe word" to prevent what happened? regardless i liked it and i especially liked the scene where the main character is cutting himself because he thinks he might be an AI.

its a bit of a mess. I watched with a girl I was seeing and she explained to me a lot of what was going on because the movie removes and jumbles a bunch of the story (i have not read the books). I've only seen it once and would watch it again tho.
Oh yeah if I hadn't read the books I'd have no idea what was going on lol
Hail, Caesar!
Nice and amusing, better than the past couple Coen Bros movies
Deadpool
was okay.
stonehearst asylum - pretty cool, not so scary/creepy, but good expose on victorian era medicine/culture
THE MAN FROM NOWHERE - holy shit what i can i say totally awesome and moving fucking KOREAN action film. got me into the genera and they make great pics over there. really recommend seeing this one.
the big boss - fist bruce lee movie, wonderfully surprised how approachable goofball bruce lee is, and seems like a good all around regular dude, apart from awesome body and martial arts skills
the ice harvest -always makes me fucking laugh, john cusack and billy bob thornton, i mean come on
oh yeah I saw Deadpool it was pretty enjoyable
the guy that sold me the tickets was a total dick though, insisting that they had to ID EVERYONE that was seeing the movie, so my gf had to dig her wallet out of the bottom of her full backpack to get it, despite me getting the tickets. I even told him that only one person has to be an adult to buy tickets for an R movie, not that anyone was even underage, and he just ranted about "no exceptions, the movie is super graphic and we can't take any chances," and was just being a condescending dick the whole time. then we got up to our screen and they had to check our tickets
as soon as we actually got in, the theater was full of children under 10 doodthing;
also the movie was pretty standard R-rated fare, I don't know what the fuck the fuss was about psyduck;

just watched Rushmore. it was pretty great i'd say. it kinda feels like it has no idea where the hell it's going, though. but i thought the performances were great, except maybe for the character of rosemary, who i thought was probably the weakest part of the film, really only serving to give max something to be weird about.
movie didn't blow me away or anything, i wouldn't call it the cult masterpiece that some people do, but i did like it a lot.

also just watched "los jefes", a gritty modern expose on mexican society, culture and drug war via the eyes of a rich kid and his common friend after they go looking for bud one day and get tangled up in drug deals/violence.
also fucking oliver stone's 4 hour epic on alexander the great with pussy ass colin ferell and a bunch of other hollywood casts. learned a lot, cool ass battle/landscape scenes from greece to india. favorite part was the depiction of babylon and the mention of illyria/illyrian warriors. alexander was part/mostly albanian from macedonia.

Saw Batman V Superman wit Aubrey :3
Was never hyped for the movie, think Zack Snyder is shit, thought Man of Steel was okay but honestly thought the movie was pretty solid, 7/10. Did cram too much Justice League stuff into it, and Lex Luthor was p. bad plus a few other issues, but really I think people just wanted to shit all over it. Either that or they somehow had astronomical expectations to be let down so much
Me and kaz just watched Argo.
Really great movie.
Can't believe it took me this long to see it.
I've owned the bluray for like 3 years.
i quite liked argo

hmmmmm i heard that was good from coworkers too
maybe i will see it
there is a movie on netflix called 'how i live now'

When I was in my pre/early teens, we had a VHS copy of Rat Race which is basically a modern retelling of that story. Honestly it's just ok, but it has some pretty great moments and holds kind of a special place in my heart.
Never seen the original start-to-finish though.
Finally saw Deadpool. Was great.
Walked out of that theater and straight into the theater showing Batman vs. Superman. It was dumb.
saw 10 Cloverfield Lane, pretty darn good, really tense, maybe a bit much but yeah great movie

I saw Batman v Superman and I would like to say that it deserves all of the shit reviews it received.
[spoiler=spoilers for here's why]
-The movie was essentially 55% build up to why people are worried about Superman and why Superman thinks batman is bad, 2% actually fighting between batman and superman, 40% darkseid fight, 3% setup for other films
-The dream sequence and then sudden, apparent, time travel sequence is confusing as fuck. They should have been spaced out or something
-The short fight was literally batman shooting superman twice with kryptonite gas bullets or w/e and punching him a few times then giving up because MARTHA[/spoiler]

[/spoiler]
[spoiler]i think having them side-by-side is very intentional, so you aren't sure if it was still part of his dream or not[/spoiler]
also I saw the Jungle Book today, was decent, kid did a good job, scarlett johansson was unnecessary

yess i know that's probably the intention but for a plotpoint that has essentially no bearing on the film (if they removed that scene, no part of the plot would be any different or harder to understand) it's way too convoluted and is more hamfisted than clever.

i quite liked argo
@hiro what did aubrey think?
I agree with Hiroman about BvS
I didn't go in with high expectations because I expected it to suck all during production and then the reviews confirmed my bias. But then when I watched it I thought "hey, it really isn't all that bad." I mean sure some parts were goofy and a little forced but it could have been much much worse. I'm not really a superman fan to begin with and I thought they made him aight. Batman with guns is kind of silly. Wonderwoman was pretty badass but they kind of made her outshine the title characters... probably to hype her up since people generally just care about Supe/Bats/Flash in the JLA. Idk lots of room to improve. Probably should have been 2 or 3 movies instead of one.
saw Civil War, did a really good job of balancing all the different characters, plus black panther and spiderman were great
[spoiler]expected a bit heavier of an ending but it will have interesting effects on the plot now that half of them are in hiding[/spoiler]
why is there no good movies coming out i mean god damn
I guess Deadpool is how movies ought to be made?

but we did not do anything and my girlfriend does not care in that case
i saw the wailing today
it was korean and there is ghost
warcraft was fucking terrible, but it was pretty. the plot was terribly executed and the acting was bad, especially alliance side. though if you haven't played the RTS/aren't familiar with the lore, you'd probably be like wtf is going on. i think it would have been better if they just made their own story/plot specifically for the movie instead of trying to base it off the game, it'd be fine- also, better actors.
i am so disappointed but move adaptations of games are usually terrible- but i'm not sure about assassin's creed, it might be more tolerable than warcraft.
blizzard makes some good games but they're kinda autists with their story telling even tho the lore tends to be kinda neat so not surpirsed
Quote from: SVT on June 11, 2016, 04:58:05 AM

they do, they also have the ability to actually make a movie themselves (it'd be entirely CG which is fine, their cinematics are works of art) instead of relying on hollywood to do it, but it would probably be too time consuming while also trying to do new content for their games.
idk, i've always said they should make their own movie though. it'd probably be good.

i agree with this
i thought it was okay, the orc parts were pretty cool actually
i've never played a warcraft game but i understood most of what was going on. it would have been better if they didn't have any "real" actors especially since the casting was so odd, everyone was way too young
but yeah the orc parts were neat

yeah, the horde side acting was OK (not the best, but tolerable), but i really hated the acting for khadgar for some reason- too cocky. The rest of them seemed just derpy.
[spoiler]durotan went out like a bitch though, that's not how he was supposed to die- instead gul'dan had to also be a bitch and i don't remember him helping with the birth of thrall (go'el). thrall was also supposed to be found with the bodies of his dead parents, not in a river like moses lmao [/spoiler]
Alliance side is full of weenies so I think they probably nailed that aspect

lel giggle;
saw X-Men Apocalypse the other day
was pretty bad
Room
was very stressful/sad but really good fuck
i saw The Lobster
it was cool but it should have been made like 5 years ago. kind of that weird kind of comedy where it's really dry and there are no obvious laughs.
6/10
Saw Finding Dory
Was pretty okay for the most part; really liked the octopus
But there were a bunch of sappy "you're so special" moments that had me rolling my eyes and circling my fingers
Creed.
Really good, and a great successor to Rocky.
Granted, like star wars vii, it repeats many of the same beats of Rocky, but it's still really good.
Ghostbusters 3
was mediocre just like the original
I didn't know they made a Ghostbusters 3
It was a batty kind of day today.
I bought The Killing Joke and Dark Knight Returns.
We'll see how Killing joke is, many say it's bad, but I'll probably still like it

I saw it. I liked it.
While I don't care for the "prologue," as everyone else seems to not as well, I didn't hate it like everyone else did. It was ok. Had some good action scenes, but it wasn't great.
As for the actual Killing Joke part, it was great. A great adaptation I thought.
The only real problem I have with it is that the animation can look a little chunky sometimes, and it also seems to cling a bit too tightly to the original graphic novel.
the original magnificent seven, pretty cool and good. watched some old john wayne westerns, i like his style of acting, until it gets annoying at times. overall i'm digging my renewed interest in westerns again.
david and i saw suicide squad
it was pretty meeehhhhhhh but not completely awful, could have been a lot better but had a lot of issues
don't regret watching it though 3/7
Also saw suicide squad. Idk how to feel about it I feel like I only liked part of it because it had good music.
The antagonists were so lame. Their goons looked like Putty men from power Rangers. Killer croc had nothing to do like the whole movie. Katana too. Basically the dead shot and Harley Quinn movie. I don't much care for Harley as an action hero it just seems ridiculous
saw Suicide Squad
hate the new Joker with a passion.
let's see
also ill give very brief descr of them
invasion of the body snatchers (1978?) - it is actually decent for their time, probably a bit above avg 7.3/10. some new organism comes into the US and when it's a flower bud- it copies someone's body while the host is sleeping.
visit (2015) - oh man growing up w/ a father with mental illness, this shocked me a bit. it's actually better than most recent horror films. 8/10. two kids meet their grandparents for the first time and...well, deal with the awkward symptoms from their mental illnesses during their stay. gets progressively better.
it follows (2014) - a good 6/10 though umm didn't like the ending so much. girl gets some odd curse and fights the curse with friends.
tales form the hood (1995) - 3.5/10 (regarding horror) lmao this is bomb as hell i love it, it's actually more funny than scary. i love how the last story is actually fucking relevant for hoodrat shootings. 3 hoodrats visit a funeral home to finish some business idk, various tales are told from some funeral home host- based on the dead bodies he shows to his guests.
Jacob's Ladder (1995?) - war vet has visions of some weird shit and follows through the veil of imagination and reality. his war vet possy also are experiencing similar visions. 1 by 1, they all strangely disappear. it's ok, didn't bring me into the story so much 5.9/10 tfw
gozu (2003) - two brothers from the yakuza are driving and see some weird shit- eventually one of the brothers disappears after the other goes in to use the restroom. he goes through quite a journey trying to find his brother...and some odd occurrences that get progressively more abstract. ummm 6.5/10
gravity (2013) - guys sent to the moon, weird shit happens and gets progressively worse. 6/10 its ok
prob gonna watch more
i wanna watch A boy and his dog (1975) BUT i can't get through it. it just doesn't appealt to me ENOUGH

john wayne acting aka just say the lines and look tough. but his movies are pretty entertaining.
i watched this movie called dudes which is about these three new york punk friends (jon cryer from two and a half men and Flea are two of the three) they decide to ditch new york and head to LA. They get caught up in some fucked up desert gang and flea gets killed (very cool to see). so the other two punk friends vow revenge. One dresses up as a cowboy and the other an indian. The movie was reallly fucking dumb and I wouldnt suggest watching it unless you're stoned as shit. BUT there are some funny bits so if you do have some pot around toke up and download this movie.
Watched Kubo and the Two Strings on Saturday, was another good film by the people at Laika

saw it as well. thought that the beginning was amazing, the "adventure" was meh and the ending was okay. superb animation though.
the lady and i decided to go to a vip theater in bangkok (paid $75 for two tickets) and had recliners pillows, blankets and drink service. very fun to do once but probably never again lol
watched Final Fantasy XV: Kignsglaive.
It was pretty good to be honest, it wasnt just fan-service like Advent Children was, it actually set up the game's story pretty well..
now to wait until November to play it :(

I saw Don't Breathe last night. It was great to see a horror movie that didn't really have e any gimmick slasher things in it. The movie is about these 3 people who try to rob this old blind war veteran. They fuck up and end up locked in the house with this fucked up blind dude and his equally fucked up Rottweiler. Thumbs up but I felt the movie could have ended faster

you didn't watch that in movie stream with us? it was a blast, one of the best boyah movie nights we had tbh
that movie is an experience. not just because it's a crazy weird experimental art film, but also just cause it's a lot of fun
Watched Kingsglaive FFXV.
I really liked it.
Snowden went for sooo loonnnggggg
I saw Ouija: Origin of Evil today. was pleasantly surprised. really good horror movie with tons of awesome creepy scenes
i just watched the original alien for the first time
i beat alien: isolation this week and i was in the mood
it's p. tight
i was told it was boring but nah, it's just not really an action flick, even tho there's a decent amount of that in the last act
but as a sci-fi horror it's p.great
[spoiler]^^ why i never post my opinions about anything, damn[/spoiler]
Saw Doctor Strange last week, it was very enjoyable but nothing special
new movie theater in town opens today, going to see Fantastic Beasts tomorrow
also on my list for this year:
Moana
Moonlight
La La Land
Star Wars Rogue One
say boyhood last night
p. good. but olivia is definitely y mom if she had the misfortune of remarrying twice
fantastic beasts was pretty good and it's nice that it's not just 'harry potter in america!'
overall both solid 7s
Fantastic Beasts was pretty darn good
Moonlight was fucking fantastic
Moana was great 6/7
I saw Moana and it was p. good. Really like the songs "Shiny" which sounded like straight up David Bowie and "You're Welcome" which pretty much confirms the Rock can nail any type of entertainment he tries
watched starcrash the other night
if you're into comically bad scifi i HIGHLY recommend this. came out in 1979 and it is a HUGE starwars ripoff. honestly the movie wouldnt even make sense if you hadnt seen starwars lol. also stars David Hasslehoff as the han solo type which is fun

Watched sausage party on Netflix because the reviews were really good
But that movie was fucking terrible what the hell did the reviewers watch. I guess if just being beat over the head with sexual innuendo for 2 hours is someone's idea of a good time...
Seems to me that movie is only either shat upon for being nothing but sex jokes, or looked favorablely for its religious symbolism
Idk, I still haven't watched it
If it's the latter it's like the laziest atheist humor you could find
A couple scenes were kind of entertaining when it mostly focused on the food being murdered I suppose

Lost in Translation is p. great. Very melancholy so you gotta be in the mood
i'm always into melancholy movies

what do you think the best one is?
i'd say this is probably the most honest superhero movie to date and probably the best as in terms of actual movieing

i saw logan too. this is the best comic book movie ever made.
probably not the best imo but it's the better of the x-men movies, even if it is pretty grim.
made me sad
what do you think the best one is?
sry i was talking in general terms of superhero movies
i'm actually not too keen on x-men movies
Ya but what do you think the best super hero movie is
I think I'd have it between Dark Knight, Deadpool, and Batman with Adam West. Or V for Vendetta if just looking at comic book movies

I think it was fine, it's such a big novel it's hard to condense and I think they did pretty okay
I watched Raging Bull last night. So fucking good. Best Scorsese film. Best sports film.

i dont really have a favorite yet, looking back on super hero movies i've seen made me realize that they weren't as good as they were hyped up to be.
maybe antman, idk. actor is v cute
i just finished Apocalypse Now. i'm kind of at a loss for words, tbh. it was amazing and unsettling.
just got back from seeing power rangers
it was ok, for some reason i was expecting better but it was good for my kid feels. just made me miss krispy kreme even more rn

I also thought that
He didn't get 'satire' and it made me feel really insecure lol
I thought prometheus was p solid and have no desire to see this new one
Just watched Resident Evil the Final Chapter
Lol wrench;
Just watched that live action jungle book.
Was good. I liked it
I just ordered Dracula Prince of Darkness, the sequel to Horror of Dracula.
I feel like I got it at a decent price at $17.99, since apparently it's quite rare. Most copies I see, that are region 1 at least, go for around $40.
I picked up 10 movies today for $5
[spoiler]-Goonies
-The Accountant (idk)
-Beowulf (never saw it, whatever)
-Amadeus
-Saw 3 (lol)
-Team America (lol)
-Shiloh (loved it as a kid)
-The Incredibles
-A Christmas Story (didn't own it for some reason)
-Tangled
i watched a cool japanese movie

Me and Kaz just got back from seeing IT.
IT was really freaking good. It was actually better than I thought it would be. Good mix of horror, humor, and drama.
A solid 9/10 for me.
Get Out was p good
Finally saw Baby Driver
wrench; wrench; wrench; wrench; wrench; wrench;
saw Blade Runner 2049 and it was pretty good my dudes

Went and saw The Last Jedi
it was fucking garbage
I didnt think nothing could surpass Attack of the Clones as worst Star Wars movie but god damn this one was just fucking horrible
The Lone Dissenter?
Saw Last Jedi. It was okay. The highs were great, but there were a ton of plot holes and a very unnecessary detour subplot. Too much humor for a supposedly darker film too.
Lmao, there's actually a petition to get Last Jedi removed from Canon.
It's that bad huh? Worse than the prequels? Somehow, I truly, truly doubt it.

It's not worse than episode 2, no way. I liked it better than III too. I'm weird and like Episode 1 though and I'd say this falls below that. Just too many plot holes, poor writing, and a 30 minute segment of lazy political commentary

well, like i said, to me, I doubt it's worse than those, but those are things to take into consideration. Of course, I always end up liking movies more than most.
I actually put 7 right up there near the original trilogy. So we'll see I guess.
i liked ep 8 more than 7 but the stuff with finn and the new girl sucked and was pointless

Yeah This is really my biggest complaint and seems to be the most common across the web.
I feel like between that and the one Chewbacca scene PETA funded a big portion of the movie
I thought TLJ was fucking great, only behind the original and Empire Strikes Back for me
saw it opening day and then again on saturday lmao
[spoiler=stur wurs]"now that luke, leia, and han are out of the way, we can focus on the REAL heroes: rey, finn, and poe!" - said no one ever
seriously though finn's scenes in ep 8 could have been cut out completely and poe was actively shat on by leia and that purple-haired bitch. only rey got any real development in this one and she's still kind of wooden and two-dimensional. oh well who cares it's star wars[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I thought they were actually gonna have some ala and complete Finns arc by making him what he was always scared of being: a casualty fighting for a noble cause. But nope! They have to fuck it up by having Rose crash into his ship (how does this not kill them both?) because "love is more important than strategic objectives " puke
ALSO WHY DID PURPLE HAIR NOT JUST TELL EVERYONE HER PLAN.
She had no reason to keep it secret and almost ended up blowing everything by goading Poe into action. Would have saved a lot of pointless drama if she just says she's biding time to get them to a secret rebel base. Then Finn never goes on that stupid mission, DJ doesn't get involved and reveal the rebels plan... I just don't get it [/spoiler]
they also drink dinosaur semen
Yeah but that was cool

yeah it was great but i do kinda agree with that point. in addition:
[spoiler]tbh everything finn and rose do is ultimately pointless and that's kind of a bummer. the film is a lot of things happening that result in people being right back where they started with little to nothing accomplished lol. idk it's weird. while i don't inherently dislike their subplot, the way it's written baffles me.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]The casino scene dragged but wasn't the worst thing ever
The only thing i disliked about Rose and Finn was her crashing into his skimmer. Finn was going to go out the hero he was always trying to avoid being! That crash should have killed them both. Dragging an injured woman a mile back to base over open flat terrain with a bunch of walkers overlooking the battlefield should be instadeath. "We're going to win this war not by killing what we hate but saving who we love" is the dumbest line ever and makes no sense in a war. If Luke doesn't show up they're all dead because of that and she would have saved no one.
/endrant[/spoiler]
saw Black Panther. Was pretty good tbh, liked it more than I thought I was going to
Also saw Black Panther. Was kind of eh to me. Didn't live up to my own hype for it
Definitely overhyped but I still thought it was really good, top 5 Marvel flicks at the least
Also recently saw a bunch of Best Picture nominees:
The Shape of Water - really good production value, good acting etc but I didn't think the fish-man relationship was developed very much really, 4/5
Phantom Thread - incredibly pretty but man the plot was just blehhh 3/5
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - just sad shit on top of sad shit on top of infuriating shit, good acting and good story, 4/5
Call Me By Your Name - lots of degenerate shit but good lord what a pretty movie and that main kid was fantastic, 5/5
Lady Bird - really excellent coming-of-age story, really relatable, got emotional at times, 5/5
Dunkirk - very intense, glad I saw it in a theater but it was hard to follow with the pointless time-jumps, thick accents heard from a distance, and half the characters looking the same, 3/5
My pick is Call Me By Your Name for Best Picture
also saw ladybird- liked it a lot.
u know what fucked me up about shape of water
[spoiler]how casual the mute lady and her friend were about mute lady bumping uglies with the fish dude[/spoiler]
Just finished Ichi the Killer.
Fucked up movie. I like it.
movies i watched in March:
Schindler's List
Boogie Nights
Ed Wood
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Boy and the Beast
Winter's Bone
The Imitation Game
Hana-bi
Pacific Rim
Deliverance
Blade Runner
A Serious Man
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Sonatine
Cinema Paradiso
Heathers
St. Vincent
The Truman Show
The Giver
Up in the Air
On Golden Pond
The Shape of Water
Casino
The Maltese Falcon
Sunset Boulevard
Saw Isle of Dogs. Was good but I prefer live action Wes Anderson. I think the set design and emotional depth is more stimulating.
Just saw Hereditary.
Really good
Really weird
Worth seeing I think
Saw Ant Man & the Wasp, it was nice and fun and cheered me up for a minute, 4 or 5/7
I skipped Jurassic World 2 in theaters, but with it on BD this week I picked that up and watched it. I liked it, but it seems the general reception is not so great. I like how the second half changed things up with the jurassic mansion.
The other movies I saw in theaters this past year or so include Deadpool 2, Mary and the Witch's Flower (an anime movie), and all the new Marvel and Pixar movies, but that's pretty much it.
Overall, I hadn't really watched movies that often in general, but this past year in particular I've been watching a decent amount. Some of the others I saw at home this past year include:
* All 56 Disney Animation Studios movies (not including DisneyToons stuff like all those bad sequels)
* All 20 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies
* Every Pixar movie except the Cars trilogy (17/20)
* A few animated Dreamworks movies
* A few Ghibli movies. I got the entire Ghibli movie bluray set that GKIDS released recently but haven't watched enough of them yet.
* Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the movie 3rd, which finally happened after waiting like 8 years
* Most of the DC Universe animated movies series
* The Dark Knight (batman) trilogy
* The entire recent DC live-action "Extended Universe" series of apparently mostly-mediocre films
* The Lego Batman Movie, which is definitely better than those live-action movies combined
* Batman Ninja
* The Matrix (I got the new release this year that fixes some longstanding color and picture issues)
* Carol and a couple other lesbian (non-pornographic) movies because why not
* some others I forgot
basically the pattern is a ton of cartoon movies and Marvel&DC comicbook-based movies and only a little bit of other miscellaneous stuff. I've noticed that Marvel fares well in live-action and DC fares well in animation, but Marvel generally sucks at animation and DC generally sucks at live-action. At least Into the Spider-Verse looks like a promising animated Marvel movie.
ok so i watched a few movies
Wild Combination: A Potrait of Arthur Russell
This is a great documentary about Disco lengend/Avant-Garde Cello Player Arthur Russell. Follows his life from his early years in Iowa, to joining a cult in San Fransisco, to his days in the New York experimental scene and his subsequent death from AIDS. I'm a huge fan of Arthur's work and this was a touching look at an artist who made some incredibly forward thinking music.
The Story of He-Man
a documentary about the beginning of he-man. Turns out Castle Greyskull was called that cause some dude's wife's maiden name was Grey. Outside of some cool interviews with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella (who played He-man and Skeletor in the live action movie) it wasn't worth watching.
Halloween
THE VERY FIRST ONE. it was fun. Lots of great scenes tho there were some goofy deaths (one lady goes cross-eyed after her throat was slit). Saw this at a local theater and there was a bit of a kerfuffle in the audience. one guy gets up to leave and heads to the concessions. fifteen minutes later you hear someone shout "YEAH WELL YOU'RE A FUCKING JACKASS" and the whole back of the theater laughed.
Mandy
A beautiful movie, but its clumsily written. Nicolas Cage's wife gets murdered by a cult and he gets revenge. Starts off real slow (nearly tedious) but picks up after an hour (a god damn hour). It was fine, but if you like movies to be a bit more than skin deep I wouldn't recommend it.
CoCo.
Now this was a touching movie and very much a good palate cleanser after the gruesome Mandy. idk what to say about it but that Coco and the goofy street dog were cool.
Quote from: YPrrrr on April 11, 2018, 09:57:14 PMSaw Isle of Dogs. Was good but I prefer live action Wes Anderson. I think the set design and emotional depth is more stimulating.
loved isle of dogs. had zero complaints
Mid90s was awesome, Jonah Hill can direct apparently
i saw the new Halloween last week and it was fun despite the constant winks to the previous Halloween
I saw suspiria last month and it was a great movie. really intense and a slow build.
Also I saw spiderman movie with pig and it was great but they waited too long to introduce the last three spidermen.
did y'all ever see Into the Spider-verse because that movie was awesome, 6/7 maybe even a 7
ya it was p. good
I watched Coco the other day. 20/20
Saw John Wick 3 today. Fucking stellar
just saw once upon a time in hollyweird
i guess im the only one that watches movies now lol
i just finished Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
This movie is fucked up and scary.
My buddy showed me Nightcrawler.
It was really good. Pretty fucked up too
Watched El Camino.
It was great for what it is for sure. Vince Gilligan does it again etc. etc. as far as directing and writing are concerned, and of course all returning actors/actresses are wonderful as always. But the whole thing feels kind of pointless. If the question is "what happened to Jesse after the end of Breaking Bad?" then this film does at least somewhat answer that question...but not in a way that brings much closure, and not in a way that's unexpected at all.
But yeah. Great movie, glad it exists (even if it really doesn't need to), enjoyed watching it, and it was nice to see old faces again. One particular "flashback" scene right near the end is actually done so fuckin well and it's honestly downright spooky considering the implications of what's said in it and how it relates to how shit ended up going down in Breaking Bad.
star wars: the rise of skywalker
someone should have told jj abrams that his snoke theory sucks
bubble boy
now that's a classic movie
Star Wars. I thought this one was actually pretty good. Entertaining at least.
There were a few dumb parts but I'd watch it again
I saw Cats because my friend was curious wtf it was and bought my ticket
It's probably exactly what you're imagining but also worse.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - kinda slow but great ending, 5/7
Star Wars Rise of Skywalker - fucking terrible movie, how the fuck are people defending any of it 2/7
Knives Out - really enjoyable, fun movie 6/7
Weathering With You - copies way too much from Your Name but not as good, still pretty and whatnot 4/7
Idk if you ignore all the lore it stomps on then Rise of Skywalker was pretty entertaining. I had fun watching it at least

oh thank god i was worried i'd have to learn a new system
it's basically just a 5-star scale but with a little more variation, I've explained this before but here it goes:
A 10-rating scale seems to have too many scores to be useful; the difference between a 6 or 7 isn't very clear, and most people end up just using it like US school grading, where anything below a 6 is bad, making 1-4 pretty useless.
7-rating scale works like this:
1: worst of the worst
2: just bad
3: below average but probably has some merit
4: average, fine but nothing special
5: above average, here and up is where I would recommend to anyone
6: great
7: one of the best of the year
so you have a middle score, and then three varying degrees of bad or good
anyway I watched The Farewell tonight, surprisingly well-shot movie, really good story, 6/7
watched Parasite with
@Deighvyd last night, jesus fuck
7/7

watched...seven samurai
all 3 1/2hrs of it
was a nice adventure
10/10 movie
tfw no samurai bearded bf
Saw Funny Face today. Audrey Hepburn is beautiful but the real star of the movie is Kay Thompson imo. All of her scenes are the best in the movie
I like Fred Astaire but the age difference between him and Audrey is pretty distracting. And their romance is weird.
Lots of pretty shots throughout
Scoob! was not good, it was just trying to cram in a bunch of shit to get a "cinematic universe" started and barely had any of Mystery Inc doing much of anything. Voice acting was awkward, and the Simon Cowell jokes holy fucking shit. 2/7
why don't i post in these threads goddamn
Movies I watched recently:
Rise of Skywalker: lol
Undercover Brother: it's black austin powers. pretty funny
What About Bob?: this comedy is just like my poops--solid and dark
Uncut Gems: stressful. what a ride. great fuckin movie
man I haven't seen undercover brother since I was a kid but I used to love it
It's real dumb but it holds up better than Austin Powers tbh
I watched that Eurovision Fire Saga movie on netflix, it was dumb but actually pretty funny, nice to have some lighthearted entertainment like that currently.
so many movies
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Surprisingly I enjoy the series still
Transformers: Age of Extinction - Ugh this series though, curious to see how the next one fairs with knights lol
Saw IV - Re-watching with wife she hasn't seen this one, was better than I remember. I remember it being bad lol
Happy Death Day - Was decent, very silly at times, what can you expect
Happy Death Day 2U - Ok this was really silly
Transcendence - I enjoyed the move despite acting was pretty stale and some plot points were really silly
Iron Man 2 - Man I don't remember most of this movie, good thing too it wasn't great
Midsommar - I actually quite enjoyed this movie, very different - some parts were weird as expected
Hereditary - Was pretty good, the horror sequences were really well done
Insidious - good
Insidious: Chapter 2 - good
Insidious: Chapter 3 - good
Insidious: The Last Key - good
The Invisible Man - really good, enjoyed the modern take on a classic
The Purge - well done, good concept
The Purge: Anarchy - wasn't a big fan of this one, was okay
The Purge: Election Year - enjoyed it
The First Purge - good, pretty well take on what it would be like for a first purge
Glass - I really, really enjoy this series great actors all around
Hamilton - damn, was better than i expected and i expected it to be really good
Sonic the Hedgehog - Was pretty good, really enjoyed Jim Carrey, better than expected... but I expected really bad
Galaxy Quest - ok movie, not a big star trek fan but I see the appeal
Jojo Rabbit - damn good, one of my favorite comedies probably ever, highly recommend if you like dark satire
Joker - really well done, i loved it and of course rather dark
Captain Marvel - pretty enjoyable, loved all the 90s throwback
Parasite - really fucking good, extremely engaging and highly rewatchable
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - still good
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - also good
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - not my favorite, decent
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - ok good again
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - meh
Cabin Fever (2016)- Was not impressed, for some reason I thought this was the 2002 movie but no it is bad from 2016
all the ones i can remember right now
Dolemite
Jesus what a film. 90 minutes. Felt like three hours, which is weird to say, because it's not like I wasn't entertained. It barely held the plot together, kinda wandered about without any indication of where things were about to go. Things happened, and they were related to each other, but there aren't really any story arcs. A bunch of related things happen and then the movie ends.
That said, the reason to watch this movie is to watch Rudy Ray Moore be his ridiculous-ass self-confident poet-talkin motherfuckin self. He's got enough charisma to carry the movie when he wants to, that's for sure.
Favorite part: Dolemite is released from prison at the start of the movie, is greeted by a limo full of bitches with a change of clothes. With the bitches' help he changes into a suit right there outside the prison while everyone watches, gets into the limo, then immediately starts undressing and having sex with his bitches.
Live and Let Die
I had never seen a Roger Moore Bond movie before and I really enjoyed this one. Just tongue in cheek enough that I can still take it seriously while constantly razzing it. Not sure what else to say. It's James Bond. There's a big extended boat chase that starts with a boat (seemingly actually) missing a jump and hitting a tree so that's cool. Tons of great one liners.
Favorite part: Bond fights one of the villains at a pool of sharks. I don't want to spoil how it resolves but I made this face:

i'll add both those movies to my list thanks popsi
Justice League
shit
Wonder Woman
Pretty decent movie but I have no urge to watch it again. Why are all these fuckin flicks so long?
Mars Attacks!
now this is art
Mothra vs. Godzilla
Honestly? Maybe the best movie out of this bunch. Godzilla baybee
mars attacks scared the shit out of me as a little kid
Quote from: Samus Aran on July 21, 2020, 03:33:54 AMmars attacks scared the shit out of me as a little kid
Yeah I bet
As an adult it's delightful though. It's mostly flavor, but it's so much fun. The best part is how all the martians are dated CGI but then you'll see a practical skeleton dummy in a wheelchair whiz by in the background. Shit like that
Watched Fiddler on the Roof. I'd seen the play, hadn't seen the movie.
The movie is great, highly recommend
Watched Grease last night
Been a while since I've watched some goddamn cinema. Gotta fix that.
A while ago I watched all the Final Destination movies. All worth watching except for the 4th. Power ranking:
5
2
1

Much more recently I started watching the Saw series and gave up after the 4th. Power ranking:

1 was the only one I really enjoyed tbh.
I also recently watched Fantastic 4 (2015) and boy. Oh boy. It's like watching a dream die in real time. It falls apart so quickly and so thoroughly. It's incredible. I can't stop thinking about it. I've never seen anything like it.

I've seen all the Saw movies, they don't get better.
here's all the movies i've watched this year so far starting with the most recent
Little Women (1994) - decent. wholesome. slightly cringe. winona ryder!
Curious Case of Benjamin Button - decent, but aggressively cringe. really wants me to hate it. almost succeeded. why is this shit so fucking long?
Open Range - good movie. climactic shootout sequence one of the best i've ever seen in a western. great cinematography.
Con Air - surprisingly decentish considering how aggressively stupid this movie is. nic cage's fake accent is so fucking funny. put the bunny down.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi - good documentary. my man is a true artist of making good ass sushi.
In A Lonely Place - great, but kind of only great because Bogart is great? i feel like this is an average film that just happens to have a GOAT as the lead delivering lines like his life depends on it
Unbreakable - one of the weirdest "super hero" films ever but it's also really cool tbh. good movie. not great but yknow. representative of a time when people actually experimented with super heroes as a concept and they weren't just a blockbuster snore.
Thief - this movie fucking rules. michael mann is a nerd who makes movies about insane people who are insanely talented at being criminals. immaculate vibes, ost by tangerine dream. pre-Drive but arguably cooler. incredible night cinematography, any shot involving a car is extremely good and i love the detailed shots of the vault-breaking process. the fucking shot where james caan's character just sits back and admires his handiwork with a smug look on his face as the camera zooms in is divine.
The Quick and the Dead - fun fucking movie. it's pretty good too! it's sam raimi, so the camera work and over-the-top drama of these western gun duels is pretty bonkers. this is also the hottest Sharon Stone has ever been. she should have played sharpshooting cowgirls her whole career. also god i love gene hackman and russell crowe. also, wait, is that a really young leonardo dicaprio? and his character is really fucking funny? hell yeah
Creep - as inventive as this film is, i hate it. it's a decent movie i guess, but i hate it. i hate jumpscares. i hate movies that are about nothing but jumpscares. fuck this. i dont like being jumpscared. anyway the ending is wild
Speed Kills - holy shit this movie is bad. like actually terrible. nothing about this movie is any good at all. not even john travolta's hairpieces.
Hustle - after making the banger that is Uncut Gems, i guess Sandler wanted to prove he can also make good popcorn flicks. this is a good movie. it's a feel good sports drama with some comedy, and heck, it's not bad! the basketball players that play as bo and kermit in this movie are actually pretty darn good actors.
10 Things I Hate About You - good movie. is this the only truly good teen high school comedy? it might be. funny stuff. heath ledger and julia stiles were great.
Nightcrawler - this movie rules. jake gyllenhaal is so good at being so fucking unnerving and weird and creepy. this movie has a good sense for keeping a sort of perpetually building tension. things just get worse and worse. the concept for the film is something i didn't even know was a profession tbh, so that's very fascinating. fantastic nighttime cinematography.
Seven Samurai - immaculate. an absolute beast of a movie. a long, sprawling epic that explores every element of its story to the point where, truly, this movie's only flaw is its length. this is fucking kurosawa. can't believe i started with rashomon. this film kicks the shit out of rashomon. there are elements of this epic present in so, so much media i have seen before and there's a good reason. also holy fuck i love takashi shimura and toshiro mifune. mifune's character of kikuchiyo is timeless. will i rewatch this behemoth any time soon? fuck no, it's so long. but every fucking good action movie for the past seven decades has been copying this film to some degree or another because it really is that good and it really is that dense. and its approach to action is painfully honest. so is its portrayal of samurai - in the end, many of them were just village destroying, pillaging soldiers. motherfuckers.
Revue Starlight: The Movie - great. go read my review of the series in the anime thread and you will have my thoughts on this movie as well.
The Power of the Dog - great film. a slow burn of a modern, revisionist western. think films like "There Will Be Blood" and you get the idea. but this is a much less grandiose film that's more focused on a few specific characters and things like extremely toxic masculinity and sexuality. i think some of its extremely high praise is a bit unwarranted but it is really good.
The Social Network - great film. everyone already knows that and so i won't really explain why in detail. it's just a really good, dramatized, semi-truthful biopic carried by a really good film structure and solid acting all around.
Punch-Drunk Love - fantastic. the Uncut Gems before Uncut Gems. what i mean is that this is the other really good movie Sandler starred in, but it's been kinda forgotten unfortunately. this is an extremely strange, very tense film. i won't pretend to know if Sandler's portrayal of an autistic man with extreme social anxiety is truly accurate or good for awareness but i can at least say that i found it compelling and deeply affecting. i've seen some detractors say that the central love story of this movie is unbelievable and corny but tbh i love that about this film. it's so strange and dreamy, a really good application of the concept of "true love"
Crimson Peak - this film is nothing but a long exploration of a really, really beautiful set. i swear, everything outside of the mansion on the titular Crimson Peak is dull in comparison. this is not really that good of a film, it's at least pretty good though and its visuals are entirely what sells it tbh. the mystery comes really late into the film and it's not that interesting. but damn if del Toro can't make a film look really fucking good. the constant use of goopy blood-red clay is so cool.
Marriage Story - really fucking good. at times oppressively sad, at other times just so, so bittersweet. a struggle of a film about two people who really do love each other, but not everything in life works out. and they are continuously forced into worse and worse situations that strain the remnants of their relationship even worse. adam driver and scarlet johannson are utterly fantastic here, their portrayals are intensely real and painful (but delightful) to watch. i'll think about the scene where driver sings "being alive" in the restaurant for a long time.
127 Hours - a pretty good but ultimately pretty shallow film about the real story of Aaron Ralston's struggle to survive trapped in a Utah canyon. eh.
Little Miss Sunshine - this is such a mid 00s hipster kid film. from the color palette to the soundtrack to the quirky dialogue and one-liners. but it's also a great fucking movie tbh. it's often just really cute, but it also has its moments of real human emotion too. man, i dont wanna spoil, but that scene with dwayne where they have to stop the van? you know the one if you've seen it. it's heart wrenching.
Slumdog Millionaire - kind of great? kind of just good? honestly i'm not sure. the Millionaire aspect is...weird. and definitely a product of its times. but the core story is pretty great. but then sometimes it kinda falters, and again, the Millionaire aspect is just...weird. also, something something Danny Boyle extremely westernized kinda racist depiction of India etc etc
Uncut Gems - yes, that's right, i watched three fucking Adam Sandler movies this year and they were all good. starting with this absolute banger. what a ride. what a massive build up of horrible unease and tension that just fucking explodes at the end. and Sandler is so fucking good when he's playing a fucking dickhead that spends most of the movie speaking at a volume somewhere between speaking and screaming. the soundtrack is also fucking immaculate, well done mr. lopatin. the opening and closing bookend shots of this film are incredible too. btw don't forget that this movie is what caused The Weeknd to hit it off with Lopatin and as a result make better music later
A Separation - amazing. one of the best three films i've seen this year (along with Seven Samurai and Parasite). a full fucking five stars. this is a painful film about a continually worsening situation made worse by human decisions that are, on their own, totally justifiable. a pile of mistakes and lapses of reason and momentary bouts of selfishness that just build and build and strain the relationships of very real people. it's a colossal achievement about Iranian society, the struggles of being poor and raising a family, about the difficulties of dealing with the hardheadedness of the law, about the disconnect between religious beliefs and the practicality of living. it's just a really good movie.
Blood Simple - pretty great movie. this is the directorial debut of the Coen and most of everything you'd expect from them is present to some degree, although this is further removed from the darkness or outright whimsicality of their later films. the soundtrack is really fucking good, sounds like Tangerine Dream or something at times. there is a great attention to detail in the shots, namely with movement - the red converse on the bar-top, the dragging shovel. fascinating uses of usual Coen camera tricks.
Nomadland - great, but definitely not for everyone and it's understandable that a lot of people think this movie is pretty boring. because it is just a really quiet movie where Frances McDormand just gets by living out of her van in various parts of the country. there is often not much dialogue, and what dialogue there is is mostly just people having normal ass conversations. and there is not a lot of drama or plot continuity in the shot style, much of it feels like a documentary instead. but there is poignancy in this film's depictions of places in the middle of nowhere and the struggles of a decidedly nomadic lifestyle. i enjoyed it a lot.
Parasite - complete banger. this film is a total beast and went places i never expected it to. it's sad, it's funny, it's outright bizarre. a film about class disparity? sure. a film about the joy of pretending to be something you're not? absolutely. a film about the joy of crossing lines and giving a royal finger to the societal expectations thrust upon you? yeah, bloodily so. this film is about a lot. the interior shots of the Kim family home are incredible. and man, once everything just falls apart, literally goes to shit. i love the flooding scenes. the shot of Park So-Dam just kind of giving up, sitting on top of the toilet lid to try to keep it from belching more water out, just having a smoke. it's too good. utterly phenomenal film.
The fact that you watch/listen to/play about 20x more media than I do and are able to keep track of and write about it is pretty impressive.
But yeah Parasite is fantastic but I thought Nomadland sucked ass, kettu identified with quite a bit of it and also agreed
one movie i forgot to include on that list that i watched this year also is Raw. insane film, pretty great too. extremely good soundtrack.

it's because i hyperfixate on things and obsess over cataloguing and writing things down to better encase them in my memory
however, i generally bounce around between fixations. i actually watched all those movies between april and july, and havent watched a movie since. right now i am more fixated on revisiting music and rating/cataloguing that on rym, as well as ofc listening to new stuff too. right before this i was definitely on a bit of an anime/manga binge, although i'm always at least watching *some* anime, that one is a constant even if it's just a small one in the background
Just rewatched Ferris Buellers Day Off. Still a great movie.
But the ending is kind of weird especially with Cameron. How he strangely and quickly gets over the complete destruction of the car when it seems like his dad is pretty abusive. Given that he just faked a suicide like an hour ago at the pool it seems like he already had that thought going through his head. Maybe the car going over the edge is the last push for him in that direction. His sudden serenity coming from the realization that it won't matter if he's dead. That maybe even though his father doesn't care about him, the simultaneous death of his car will make him feel that grief and maybe even regret about how he treated Cameron.
Although I'm probably also thinking this because Hollywood abuses the fuck out of suicide and characters kill themselves all the time over the stupidest shit for cheap drama. But for Cameron it would make sense since he's portrayed as depressed and possibly suicidal for the whole film.
Anyway sorry for cringe Ferris Bueller theories but dang it's weird how he just gets over that at least verbally. Guess when you're out of runtime you've gotta wrap things up
recently saw The Thing. the 1982 one. fucking fantastic tbh
also rewatched with the gf recently - Fargo, Trainspotting, and Parasite
she absolutely loved Parasite, as she should. she loved Fargo too, just not as much as i do. she seemed to only mildly enjoy Trainspotting unfortunately, i've always loved that movie
my roommate and i just finished BL*CKED Panther 2 (she cute giggle;)
That was bomb AF, I'm quite pleased to report. befuddlement
and frankly i literally did not expect that at all
it's much better than the first one, even
Watched All Quiet on the Western Front
I knew it would be depressing and it was
