Last Movie you Watched

[curryking1]

Wow, I actually watched another movie already.

Tokyo Godfathers is pretty interesting. It's very dark style and very dark humour and definitely not for the lighthearted.

If you can't stomach things like very extreme, yet honestly not unrealistic, relationships like very extreme ones with a daughter and father, a few scenes my disturb you pretty badly.

The resolution of the story is the typical everything gets better at the end, but the whole style of events is very out there. Extremely dark humour again.

Great movie. 3 stars. Characters were funny and interesting, and the encounters and major events were indeed major and totally wild and peculiar. And honestly a few were quite emotional.

A few scenes at the end were kind of a bit too typical (maybe like 1 or 2 that make up like 2 minutes of the movie), but that's me just being a bit picky.

Highly recommended to people who won't be afraid of the dark and perverted/impoverished style.

Oh ya, Tokyo Godfathers is not a typical gangster mafia and in fact is not a gangster movie in essentially any way. The reference by the title Tokyo Godfathers in the mafia sense is very, very light and brief. The title Tokyo Godfathers is more in reference to the theme of bond between an actual godfather and in this case a baby.

Again, highly recommended to anyone except young or faint hearted/sensitive people. It's a great dark humour comedy and shows a lot of personality and great variance in intensity and solid pacing.

And I watched the beginning of Ghost in the Shell yesterday too. Just the part before the credits. That was... violent. Lol. I'll try to watch that the soonest probably.

[BigfootGus]

August Rush

feelgood movie of the year

[HPK]

^*gasp*

The Departed is fucking fantastic. I've probably watched that movie 20 times if I've watched it once. Marty is just the fucking man. I could watch Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, all of em for the rest of my life and I would be content (not happy, I love movies) but surely content.

It's crazy. As I said, I've wanted to see the movie since it came out but every chance I had to seen it has ended up in failure. I'd rent it, but I'm far too lazy for that.

[BigfootGus]

Southland Tales

weird but cool movie, i love all the actors in it

someone needs to explain the whole thing to me, cuz im pretty sure i missed something in there

[Crosman]

I am Legend.

Cool movie but needed more to it.

[Gummy]

Return of the living dead 2 .... lol

[Fillibuster]

American Psycho

'nuff said.

[curryking1]

I watched a random scene in Tae Guk Gi - Brotherhood of War. I'm going to have to recommend this too. It seems insanely good.

^I still need to watch that lol.

[Dakota Grabowski]

Just went to a test screening of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (it comes out on April 18th).

Great movie. There's a lot of nudity that I'd expect they'll take out of the film since there's a lot of male genitals.

8.8/10 rating.

[Travis]

Malcolm X

Loved it. Saw Do The Right Thing shortly before and loved it, also.

[Unspoken]

Semi Pro



No... Just... No... The only good part of this movie was the trailer for the new Will Ferrell movie Step Brothers. Fucking hilarious!

[Rorange T-rex]

District B13 - Crazy wierd french movie!The story was pretty stupid but the action was awesome so, 5/10.

[Crow]

From Dusk Till Dawn

why oh why! the vampires come from nowhere, the film was leading up to be great, i was hoping Richie was going to go insane and murder everyone but no they had to do a plot twist from hell, i have to applaude them in one respect that i did not see the twist coming but to be fair it was bad, they could have gone so many better ways

Duck Soup

i forget how funny Groucho, Harpo and Chico are at times, they just remind me of real life cartoons, they must have been the basis of most of the Warner Bros characters, great film too

Halloween

The best of the whole series, probabily my favourite horror film...maybe after Psycho....and The Shining

The Third Man

one of my all time favourites, a true classic that you can watch whenever

Strangers On A Train

great film, would love to get round to reading the book, is on my to do list

Enter The Dragon

best martial arts film ever made by far, all these new "crouching tiger" and "house of the flying" are all a step backwards, these are the sorts of films the asian brought out before Enter The Dragon

Deer Hunter

De Niro's best five films are for me are on par with any other actors

Deer Hunter
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Casino
Goodfellas
Once Upon A Time in America
Godfather pt II
Brazil

i can't narrow it down to 5, they are all great

[LiquidEagle]

I watched a random scene in Tae Guk Gi - Brotherhood of War. I'm going to have to recommend this too. It seems insanely good.

^I still need to watch that lol.

Tae Guk Gi is AMAZING. Really well done, and a great example of how good Korean cinema is. Oldboy is still the best example, however :-D

[Kay B]

Just this second finished watching American gangster

Fucking awesome film, definetly one of the best iv seen in a long time, im a massive fan of denzel and im never disappointed by one of his films he's easily my favorite actor, film is really long but kept me watching throughout, only thing i didn't like was the ending i feel it was kinda sudden and could of been a better ending to a great film, apart from that it's amazing im sure most have seen it but those who haven't...you should, best gangsta film in a long time personally i feel its on par with scarface others may disagree but definetly a 5/5 from me!

[LiquidEagle]

Just watched 21 tonight, it was surprisingly good. The dialogue was probably the weakest point, yet it was still definitely good, so this movie was all-around well-done IMO. Good characters, good story, good music, good directing/cinematography, and good acting as well. I definitely recommend a watch if you're looking for something very entertaining :)

[jammy111]

Van helsing was Ist movie see last month.

[HPK]

30 Days of Night

No...just, no.

I watched this on a whim. I didn't really know much about it other than there were a bunch of vampires and there were, presumably, 30 days of no sun. The movie itself didn't start off too badly, but after a while everything gets tossed out the window. I'm stuck questioning just how and why certain things are happening.
An example: the vampires make a big deal about preventing other people from turning into vampires. They want to stay hidden since, "it took centuries to convince the humans they were bad dreams." Okay...so for a little bit, they start decapitating they're victims. Then, after a while, they stop doing that altogether, so there are more vampires to worry about. Also, people start turning into vampires without being bitten by them. One guy gets cut by a vampire nail and he's suddenly a vampire. Some guy wrestles with a vampire girl and suffers no wounds from it. Suddenly, he's a vampire too.
The movie begins to make less and less sense as it goes on. I never felt time pass by while watching these people survive for 30 days. Supposedly, they manage to stay alive for quite some time. And with how super strong the vampires are, they didn't even need 30 days to kill everyone. Shit, they narrowed down the population to just a dozen people in one night. You're telling me it takes another 29 to try getting the rest? And they don't even get them all!
I could go on about this movie, but I'll stop myself. All in all, the movie makes no sense. A number of things aren't explained enough to be entirely interesting, and it ends up feeling like a waste of time by the end of it. Avoid this movie.

[Boggy700]

Children Of Men (again)
I love this film and I find it so easy to watch because it flows so well.

[seahorse]

haven't posted in here for a while.

over the last few days... umm..

election
matthew broderick is great in this. it was a decent way to spend my sunday afternoon

jackass number two
this was hilarious, i thought. me and my mate were in stitches for most of it. seems after years of the tv show and a movie, they finally got it just right.

collateral
taught.


i'm going to watch goodfellas tonight.

[the poe collector]

I haven't been watching many movies lately.

I finally saw The Darjeeling Limited, which I knew I would enjoy.

I also watched the first two Alien movies. It had been so long since I'd seen them I'd forgotten how good they really were.

[curryking1]

I watched Tae Guk Gi - Brotherhood of War over the weekend.

I cried at the end. Maybe I could even say bawled my eyes out a bit. No joke.

That was a finely crafted piece of film. That ending was one of the most emotional inducing events in film I've ever seen. Because of the ending and all the events that lead up to it of course...

Wow, great, great film. A lot of violence and gore that not everyone might like (Saving Private Ryan is in the same zone of violence I think?) but this is a film to be watched and remembered.

Speeds to 3.5 stars easily. Wondering about giving it the 4 star reward, I think it may deserve it. Damn good.

Edit - This is a real edit... >.>

<.<

This movie gets a gabajillion stars.

:D

[masteratt]

3.5? 4 at best?

Man what the shit? Your rating system needs a revamp.
Mainly to make it more agreeable with masteratt.

[curryking1]

Lol man hahaha.

You know what I don't get though? I don't understand why it only has 8.1 on IMDB. I think those are registered user averages or something, but that's ***king ridiculously low for an IMDB score. This movie deserves 8.5 easily going by the IMDB scale.

I mean come on... directed absurdly well and has about the most profound and well executed and insanely emotional relationship for pretty much any movie I've seen. That's better than 8.1 IMDB material for sure. IMDB is bull***t. Just a stupid popularity contest.

Edit - Omg... read the rating for this title...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433390/

[masteratt]

If you take anything on IMDB into consideration, you'll never enjoy life.

Except the trivia and the actor/ director etc lists, those are very accurate.

[curryking1]

Ok, good, at least now I have confirmation to not have to follow a terrible life destroying path.

Edit - I'm not giving it a million stars lol.

Edit 2 - Ok maybe just this one time... :P

[seahorse]

I also watched the first two Alien movies. It had been so long since I'd seen them I'd forgotten how good they really were.

that reminds me, i saw alien resurrection the other day. what an odd film.

[masteratt]

Ok, good, at least now I have confirmation to not have to follow a terrible life destroying path.

Edit - I'm not giving it a million stars lol.

Edit 2 - Ok maybe just this one time... :P
Exceeeeeeelent.
It deserves it.

Edit your rating *shakes fist*

[curryking1]

^Lol, I edited it :(

The Casino Royale OST came on my music list, so I thought I'd rate that.

Solid action scenes, strong directing and fight choreography, convincing sets, and a relatively emotionally charged ending. And Daniel Craig has a nice butt. 'Nuff said.

Right on the button for a 3 stars, leaning neither above or below it.

[BlazeKat]

Just recently I watched this: Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (http://imdb.com/title/tt0422295/)

At first, I wasn't sure what to think about this movie, but after watching it a second time... I really enjoyed it.

[HPK]

It would seem that I forgot to mention some of the other movies I've watched. 30 Days of Night was that upsetting for me.

The Crow

I have to say this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love the story to the movie (it's pretty simple, but it works incredibly well). Although most of the computer effects look bad by today's standards, the movie is still awesome. Everything about the movie strikes me as being good. Plus, whenever I watch it, I get a series of childhood memories going through my head. Good times, good times.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

I actually only caught the movie after it was an hour in already. My girlfriend was watching it prior to us hanging out, so we kept watching it. I don't really follow a lot of the Harry Potter stuff. I pretty much just know enough to amuse my girlfriend and to crack a few jokes. The movie didn't seem too great, in my opinion. However, it's only because of the subject matter. I'm not interested in little kids trying to become "wizards."

Dogma

This movie is still pretty damn funny. Nothing really more to say about it.

[the poe collector]

that reminds me, i saw alien resurrection the other day. what an odd film.

yeah, I purposely skipped that one. isn't there a scene where Ripley shows off her basketball skills?

maybe I'm thinking of a different movie...

[curryking1]

Harry Potter movies suck, that's all you need to know.

The books are great. Even though they as they go on they start to lack some substance, the premise is great and well conveyed.

The first three books are absolute gold in my opinion btw. You can just tell when something has done exactly what it has wanted to do and then you also understand it in the same way it wants to be so.

^Basketball? Alien? Lol. Never watched any of the Alien films but I'm a little familiar. That does sound awkward lol.

[Travis]

Just watched No Country for Old Men for the second time. After a second viewing, I think it's the best movie I've ever seen. It's perfect. It is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Unbelievable. I could go on and on with adjectives to describe how magnificent this film is.

[Hypersonic99]

Last night i watched Smokin Aces...it was sorta good Ryan Reynolds did a REALLY GOOD JOB ACTING IN IT

[Travis]

Revolver

Far from the best Guy Ritchie film, it was still pretty entertaining. I really hate Ray Liotta, so that takes some points off, but the ending was pretty cool (although somewhat predictable) and the general theme of the film was quite interesting.

[LiquidEagle]

I watched Tae Guk Gi - Brotherhood of War over the weekend.

I cried at the end. Maybe I could even say bawled my eyes out a bit. No joke.

<.<

:D

Told you it was great! Now go watch Oldboy! Another example of brilliant Korean cinema :-D

[masteratt]

F you man, he watched it on MY recommendation, not yours!

Go get your own movie watching puppet!


PS: Man I haven't watched or even felt like watching a movie in ages! :/

[LiquidEagle]

This is where I wish I was a mod so I could just edit any posts you made recommending the movie :)

[seahorse]

i watched something last night... oh yeah, freedomland.
it was alright, didn't really "connect" with it though.
but julianne moore was great.

[Boggy700]

One Missed Call
Japanese horror. It was okay.

Elle Parker
Naomi Watts is really funny!

Babel
Yeah, it was excellent.

[curryking1]

I am nobody's puppet!!!! :cry2:

I checked OldBoy on imdb, and apparently it's on BluRay lol :P

Downloading it now...

I'll also watch No Country for Old Men soon. I've been watching movies a lot lately... They are good study breaks after straight studying for a long time :D

[masteratt]

Downloading it now...
....:susp:

Buying it now....

*uses amnesia ray on the FBI agents watching the thread*

[LiquidEagle]

It's alright, he'll watch it and realise it's more than worth it to purchase this movie, especially the collector's edition :-D

[Gummy]

Breaking Away(1979)
Great film.

[Jonny Royal]

Drillbit Taylor
It was cute but not amazing

[masteratt]

Lions For Lambs

Good.
I like the message behind it.

At first I thought it was going to be a "we'll inspire you, yay! be yourself!" kind of cheesy shit-fest but it ended up telling us that our cynical generation sucks ass which is always a reminder we need.

It strongly states you Americans should stand more behind your country when it comes to war on terror instead of being all generation X and talking about how much your government sucks and doing nothing about anything.

Some bits were very close on the borderline of being stupidly unrealistic but most of the film I thought could be real if people had the 'right' mindset so I chose to believe it.

It gets a 7/10.
Oh and I love the title, it's one of my favourite sayings.

[Nova]

Finally decided to watch Juno. My god..what an overrated movie.

Indie music fest with a crappy storyline pieced in.

[curryking1]

^I was kind of figuring that. I haven't watched it yet but that was my intuition for some reason. I'll get around to watching it eventually.

I guess it's no Garden State huh? :P

I'm just happy it was widely recognized as a Canadian film :)

[masteratt]

Juno is one of the best written films of our time, you are a bit lost if you can't appreciate that.

Now Garden State, THAT was a two hour long music video *shudders*
Zach Braff sucks at film- Anyone seen The Last Kiss?
Watch it, it's great.....:evil:

And of course:
OH CANADA!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
etc

And I will change the name of the thread to "What movie will you watch next?" for a second and answer- Beowulf.

[Nova]

You've got pretty low standards.

I wont even bother to argue your opinion seeing as though we're all entitled to one.

[masteratt]

First time ever I got told I have low standards when it comes to film....It really does feel nice.
It makes me feel human instead of like a movie criticising robot, thanks man, this is why we love you.

[haunted leg]

if you watch beowulf you should do a drinking game over how many times his name is said in the movie.

[masteratt]

Well to be fair, his name is awesome.

Beowulf

Technically impressive and it felt like watching God Of War, especially the style of the gore was very similar.

Come to think of it, the whole film kind of resembled God Of War, with nightmares and wanting to overcome a curse and so on.

It will not live in our memories as an epic fighting movie like Gladiator but it's still a very good watch.

7/10.

[curryking1]

Mmmm Gladiator. I have an HD version of it on my computer :D

Looks so good :O

[masteratt]

Great films don't need higher resolutions, they already have the higher hearts....

....

:thumbl:

[Travis]

Juno is one of the best written films of our time, you are a bit lost if you can't appreciate that.

Sorry, but I completely disagree. It was the most pretentious movie I think I've ever seen. Not that I didn't like it, but I don't see what makes it one of the best written films of our time.

[masteratt]

ALRIGHT Juno sucks then, jeez. ¬_¬

I said it before, I can tell how you can be annoyed by it but then it's much easier to enjoy the humour.

And our time of movies is really not great and I think Juno and Shark vs Eagle (or the other way around) are two films that highlight our generation's humour and 'trends' in a very entertaining, smart and funny way.

[haunted leg]

no, masteratt. you're only allowed to not like something on the internet. hate is good and must be bred. but enjoyment just hurts everyone else, that is why if you make any thread anywhere about something you like ten people will comment about how much they hate it.

so in conclusion, never, ever mention anything on the internet you actually like, because then people will shit all over it and then set it on fire and shove it in your ears while they pee in your mouth and say "what now i'm not allowed to have an opinion?!"

[masteratt]

Opinions?

It's about time people realised I'm always right.

[haunted leg]

this is why no one likes you.

[Nova]

If you're that wary of disagreements you've really no business being on the internet where you will be in contact with people with differing opinions.

Grow a pair, and accept the fact that people will not always agree with you..or shut the fuck up.

..Seriously.

[masteratt]

Someone missed the jokes.
Hint: Transcend

[Nova]

I'm grasping for straws to flame people. Duh

It fuels me.

[masteratt]

I'm grasping for straws to flame people. Duh

It fuels me.
Oh.......I would like to call a dismiss to our strong e-friendship.

Now if you'll please, return your badge and laser gun.

We are going way off topic but I really have nothing to do and I'll keep talking until we are quoting and replying to each other's paragraphs for 30 pages.

[haunted leg]

not enough multiquote!

[masteratt]

Next movie to watch (maybe): Paprika

Without putting any pressure on you h-leg, some feedback on Paprika?
Is it worth LEGALLY PURCHASING?

[haunted leg]

if you have no problem with anime logic or anime storytelling then you'll like it. i'd say be cautious if you're not that into anime but it's still pretty good.

speaking just visually though, as is often my take on a lot anime or just animation in general, a lot of which i'd watch just for the visuals, it's fantastic.

[Gummy]

Well to be fair, his name is awesome.

Beowulf

Technically impressive and it felt like watching God Of War, especially the style of the gore was very similar.

Come to think of it, the whole film kind of resembled God Of War, with nightmares and wanting to overcome a curse and so on.

It will not live in our memories as an epic fighting movie like Gladiator but it's still a very good watch.

7/10.

Beowofl loves his name.

dude, parts of that film was creepy.

[masteratt]

Okay then, remove the word 'maybe' from my last post.

I mostly laugh at anime'ness so it should be okay to look past.

dude, parts of that film was creepy.
You mean how he kept randomly stripping?

[haunted leg]

i thought it was like a saturday night live sketch the way they kept finding things to randomly obscure his penis.

[masteratt]

My favourite one was the smoke, it was real tense.
You thought he was going to walk out of it and you were going to see it but nope!

World class cinema right there.



You mean how he kept randomly stripping?
I AM BEOWULF BARBABRBAGBAB!!! *rips clothes off*


He is a monster and my name is Beowulf!
You know what that means!................BRABRABRGAR *rips off clothes*

[BigfootGus]

i couldnt stand that screaming

the fight with the dragon at the end though was pretty awesome

[masteratt]

No doubt.
I also loved the fight with the sea creatures though that might have been him just exaggerating his story.

Still, pretty awesome and I now expect both those set pieces in God Of War 3.

[Gummy]

It made me want to play God of War.

[LiquidEagle]

It made me want to play God of War.

Yup. I didn't like the movie but it made me want to play GoW again :-p

Paprika's pretty cool if only for the fact that Akio Otsuka, the voice of Solid Snake, is in it :-D

[masteratt]

Oh hell yeah!

I suck at picking up on voices, so which character is he?
Once I know I'll pick it up.

[LiquidEagle]

The main detective guy. Can't miss a voice like his :)

[masteratt]

I made a big whoopsie and BOUGHT LEGALLY the English voiced version with Swedish subs (?? lol).

I haven't watched this yet, food and Simpsons got in the way and I'll start gaming probably soon so later I'll watch it.

But hey does this mean I get David Hayter as the voice of the detective? :P

[seahorse]

you've got mail
i almost cried.

[masteratt]

That's such a classic, that movie made Tom Hanks.

As you may easily guess, I don't usually enjoy romcom films but that one I'll probably re-watch (along with Wedding Singer which made Adam Sandler).

[the poe collector]

Good Will Hunting

one of the few movies I like Ben Affleck in.

[Gummy]

I forgot if he's a douche bag in that movie.
Cuz most of the movies he is in, he's a major d-bag.

Reservation Road; it's pretty good.
Sad story.
I forgot to finish the movie though, I was distracted.

[the poe collector]

To me, he always comes off as kind of a douchebag. There's just something about him... I do like him in most of the Kevin Smith movies that he's in (and Phantoms, of course).

He also did a really good job directing Gone Baby Gone.

[Gummy]

I think I like his bro better.

[the poe collector]

yeah, I've always liked Casey more.

He's so fucking unbelievably creepy in that Jesse James movie, it's fantastic.

[Gummy]

I still need to watch that movie.
Should I?
I like western, as long as the acting is good and great story line.

[the poe collector]

The acting is most excellent, and so is the story.

EDIT: I should say that the movie runs almost 3 hours, so make sure to clear your schedule before you start watching.

[Gummy]

*netflix it*

=D

[Fiend]

the ruins

just got home from it, pretty decent horror flick. i rather liked it. nice gore here and there, kinda makes your skin crawl. not too much of that pop scare bullshit, just kind of the whole helplessness thing its got goin for it, they did it well. i wanna read the book now

[MaceSin]

Blood for Dracula

lol wtf, Roman Polanski lol.

[Boggy700]

The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada
'The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada' and 'No Country For Old Men' are two sides of the same coin.
Both films are superb.
Texas films seem to be taking over.

Three Kings
David O. Russell is fun!

[curryking1]

WOW!

I watched three movies in one day. That was the most random ***t ever. First time I've done it :D

I would've only watched 1 but things happen that just can't be avoided. For example, very annoying people.

No Country for Old Men - Great movie... I really enjoyed it. Very intense. There's nothing much I would really like to say about the overall film as I'm not sure I have a total grasp on the whole concept of the film yet. The themes that hang over the film are very strong and I really liked it for that. I'll try to understand it better another time.

I really, really liked the main characters too. And the antagonist was insanely well portrayed. I hated him to death the entire film.

Also many of the intense scenes (which there are many) are very well done. You could very often feel a very great level of tension that the characters in the scenes were feeling, or as best as any film I've seen has been able to convey and that's what wins it the biggest points from me.

I was very happy I went into the film without knowing what it was about. I give it a 3.5 stars.

Old Boy - Who the hell made me watch this!? Thanks for the ridiculous themes Liquid, you bastard! Lol! The themes were ridiculously dark and I'm not sure what to make of the ending.

Liquid, question, so at the end does Dae Su still know that the girl is his daughter or is he made to forget that for his pain to go away?

What an awkward film. It's very well done and pretty intense. Despite my extreme aversion for some of the situations in the film, I still give it a 3 stars (I didn't dock it because I am sensitive to some of the film's ideas lol).

It gets such a score because of the directing and the very dark art style. The fight scenes were pretty nice too, very well choreographed (although there were only a few).

Ghost in the Shell - Glad again I didn't know anything about the film before I went into it.

The ending is very short and almost abrupt, but that seems appropriate for the film's nature oddly enough.

I did like the major philosophical theme it explored, even though pretty basically. The last scene the garbage man is in was a good strong scene to highlight the issue at hand.

Great film. Also gets a nice 3 stars.

P.S.

I'm very glad I haven't had to watch any bad films lately. I'm enjoying giving good scores to the things I'm watching :D

Thanks for the recommendations. Although... tell me if there are any insane themes and situations in the films before I watch them (e.g. Oldboy)!!

[masteratt]

How the hell is 3 stars good scores man? lol
Just out of curiosity, did you rate anything 4 or dare I ask, any 5s?

And I'm shocked to learn you don't like intense films.
If you didn't appreciate the dark revenge tone of Oldboy, there isn't much you'll appreciate on that side of the fence.

On the ending of it: You've analysed two possible meanings of the ending, take which one you want.
The director said I believe that no-one is meant to be 100% sure, it's one of those "new wave" endings that I personally dislike so for me the film ended when the guy shot himself in the elevator. That way, it's a much stronger film for me. The idea of only living for revenge etc

[curryking1]

I didn't say I didn't appreciate the dark tone. :(

I loved the dark tone. And I love intense films.

I just didn't like the he had sex with his daughter!

I would like a warning of 'disturbing situation' before I get into that. Not say specifically what it is (would've destroyed the movie) but at least get the generalized warning :)

And I didn't dock it points for anything because it disturbed me a bit. I can easily watch dark film noire stuff (watch Tokyo Godfathers, it's another example of dark film, there are situations, mainly one between a daughter and father, that disturbed me a bit in the film and I feel aversive to).

I mean I'm admitting I'm aversive to it, but I don't feel I can't watch it or can't appreciate it's place in a story. I understood entirely and appreciated the impact the dark situations had on the characters.

It just disturbs me a bit, that's all.

I wasn't averse to the 'new school ending' at all though. I thought it made perfect sense. I was solely averse to the situation between the main character and the girl, not greatly, but again that kind of stuff kind of disturbs me a bit.

On the ending of it: You've analysed two possible meanings of the ending, take which one you want.
The director said I believe that no-one is meant to be 100% sure,

Ok cool. I thought because he was laughing at the end he still knew that it was his daughter and the hypnosis didn't work.

Also the part where the antagonist shot himself was really appropriate, I thought he was going to do that before he did it.

And also I totally predicted right away that the girl was his daughter, The second they showed her I was like 'Why do I have a strong feeling that is his daughter...' lol.

[LiquidEagle]

It's a really good revenge movie, and the fight scene in the hallway with the hammer is one of the coolest fight scenes I've ever seen...

Sorry I didn't warn you about it being crazy as hell :laugh:

[Gummy]

There Will Be Blood.

Wow, it's an interesting film and I enjoyed the story very much.
The score is interesting too, it's like very experimental.
Sounds like a horror flick.

[curryking1]

It's a really good revenge movie, and the fight scene in the hallway with the hammer is one of the coolest fight scenes I've ever seen...

Totally man! I loved that scene. I was like... 'Want... more of that... naoowww....'

Hammer = very effective closer quarter's combat weapon.

Snake should consider using it to substitute the knife in some situations, especially very narrow hallways with 15 people in them :D

[the poe collector]

Revolver

Far from the best Guy Ritchie film, it was still pretty entertaining. I really hate Ray Liotta, so that takes some points off, but the ending was pretty cool (although somewhat predictable) and the general theme of the film was quite interesting.

I watched this today and felt pretty much the same way, just without the Ray Liotta hate.

[Nova]

I saw Funny Games with some friends at Angelika film center in New York.

..This movie was pretty disturbing. It's not a major film so it probably wont be playing everywhere so here's a trailer..

Ec-70W_K77U

[the poe collector]

I watched that trailer not too long ago and checked on going to see the movie, but it wasn't being played anywhere close by.

I'll probably end up renting it.

[Boggy700]

A Tale Of Two Sisters
Japanese horror again, this time I wasn't really sure what was going on.

So I Married An Axe Murderer
I couldn't help but know what was going on.
Mike Myers is funny.

[LiquidEagle]

Just watched Run Fatboy Run... it was pretty good but I was mainly there to see Simon Pegg (and Hank Azaria :laugh:)

[masteratt]

A Tale Of Two Sisters
Japanese horror again, this time I wasn't really sure what was going on.
Korean I think.

I was strongly recommended to watch it.
It came up during Oldboy discussion (which occurs every two weeks...¬_¬) and someone mentioned another Korean cinema classic is a Tale Of Two Sisters, saying it nears OldBoy quality so in what way did you not know what was going on?

I must know before I commit and try to find this film.

Oh I lost watched Paprika (15 minns of it before i got distracted)
It was very good thus far, lots of visually interesting stuff which unfortunately doesn't come across and amazing since it's a cartoon but still nice to look at.

I don't know when I'll feel like watching the rest but so far it gets a nice 6/10.
Oh and they stole my idea of dream recording machines!
They really gotta get those out in real life.

[the poe collector]

I guess I'll start bolding the titles. It just looks classier.

Layer Cake
I'd seen Daniel Craig in a few other films, but this is what really made me notice him and sold me on him playing Bond.

Donnie Darko
Even though I doubt I'll ever completely understand the plot, I still love it.

Collateral
Just the basic idea behind the film is really interesting. When you consider that a fair amount of the scenes take place in a taxi cab, it's pretty impressive how intense it is. Tom Crooz and Jamie Foxx give excellent performances.

Heat
I felt like I had to watch this after watching Collateral. One of those films where you could go on and on praising everything about it, but I'll just say it's one of my favorite films of all time.

[seahorse]

i watched heat the other week. it is just awesome.

the orphanage
christ, this was great. it's pretty rare to get a horror film that is also really good. great performances, emotional storyline, genuinely scary... if [rec] turns out to be as good as this, then the spanish know what they're doing with horror at the minute.

[AridSpider]

I Rewatched Rocky III a couple days ago...

[Boggy700]

Korean I think.

I was strongly recommended to watch it.
It came up during Oldboy discussion (which occurs every two weeks...¬_¬) and someone mentioned another Korean cinema classic is a Tale Of Two Sisters, saying it nears OldBoy quality so in what way did you not know what was going on?

I must know before I commit and try to find this film.

Oh, Korean.
I assumed it was Japanese because the TV channel seemed to be playing Japanese horror weekly, but I guess I'm just racist.

I didn't know what was going on, partly because I was partly asleep, partly because I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention as my mind tended to wander, as it does and partly because the film is one of those films where you're not supposed to know what's going on all the time until the end, and even then some things are a little unclear.
(I don't want to spoil it, but you could probably figure it out.)

I wouldn't say it's anywhere near as good as Oldboy.
While some of the scenes were intriguing, it wasn't as exciting as that of Oldboy.
The plots are incomparable.
Oldboy is an excellent and memorable film that I am glad to have watched.
A Tale Of Two Sisters, I will continue to forget over time.

You might enjoy A Tale Of Two Sisters if you want to.
Other people seem to like it.



Okay,

Get Carter
Michael Caine can do no wrong.

Summer Of Sam
Spike Lee never disappoints me.
This is a superb film, with a building intensity that Lee does so magnificently!
I'm absolutely stunned still!

Alright, thanks for the [more] detailed feedback Boggy :thumpsup:

Clerks and Clerks II

funny movies
very funny movies

[the poe collector]

The Boxer
Daniel Day-Lewis is a master actor and a man's man.

Walk Hard
It's a different style movie from Knocked Up or Superbad, but I thought it was just as good as either movie. The bit where they mocked Dylan was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

[Garfunkel]

Walk Hard

Oh I agree, Walk hard was a cool move, nothing special or original but a solid run of gags kept it interesting to me.

I also saw james bond - tomorrow never dies a few days ago when it was on tv. It was kinda lame, nowhere near as good as some other bond films. Bond came off seeming a bit weak and girly by the end. But I can relate to that programmer guy.

[Nova]

Got my hands on a copy of Cloverfield two days ago..

It was a decent movie - very unsettling..

None of the characters were very memorable, though. Definitely worth a rent!

[Gummy]

Bee Movie
I liked it. =]

Dreamworks Animation is actually good and but just not as great as Pixar. =D

Sweeny Todd again... I'm trying to know the songs now.
Depp is awesome in that film.

[masteratt]

Paprika (all of it this time :p)

At first I didn't really get the whole anime style but I think it clicked later on and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Interesting, unique and a great first impression of my first full anime movie watching- 8/10.

It is indeed an entertaining film. :)

BAHAHA! I told you it was good :)

This means... I am a superhero. Next you should watch is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I'm going to remind you to watch this a million times from now until you watch it.

I watched Goldeneye while I was studying yesterday lol. Movie is so classic, I love it.

The concept of fighting against bad Russians and the gun sounds and the awesome method of exaggerated soldiers being merced by Mr. James Bond with no sense of consequence... fugging classic man...

And Natalya is pretty hot, nuff said on that topic.

[masteratt]

Goldeneye was just the best brand EVER.
The game, the movie.....um...the book (?) I don't know but everything about anything that was Goldeneye was 10/10.

I watched that movie like 27 times.
Probably in the same day at some point.

Was it you who suggested Paprika?
I guess it was since you bragging about it lol and yeah I'll get around to watching all your suggested movies at some point only because you have proved to be a reliable source and because you are actually my twin.

Natalya was okay, out-dated look now though.

[curryking1]

Nah man, she's still so hot :P

Ouromov is such a friggin elite classic 1990s Russian general bad guy. He was PERFECT.

I love his raised eyebrow look when Bond jumps off the cliff in the opening sequence. Sooooo classic.

Also I think the tank scene is my favourite James Bond moment ever. I love that scene to death. For some reason I don't think you can pull off a scene like that and have it be classic. I think you gotta look like Pierce Brosnan.

I love Craig and not that he needs to do this with the Bond style he can achieve so well, but I don't think he has the essentially perfect image to pull off all the ridiculous stuff that Bond does in Goldeneye (the tank thing or the skydive into the falling airplane!! lol XD).

Was it you who suggested Paprika?
I guess it was since you bragging about it lol and yeah I'll get around to watching all your suggested movies at some point only because you have proved to be a reliable source and because you are actually my twin.

Lol at the end of that.

I dunno, I do remember in the Persepolis thread I made I mentioned I wanted to make a thread for it next. I never got around to it though. I think it was me who recommended it. If I didn't, I would've if I got the chance :P

P.S. "James, is it really necessary to drive quite so fast?!"

Yes, yes it is. :D

[masteratt]

No wait! It was Transcend I think.

He posted the intro of it in one of the Madhouse thread and I asked what it was and then asked haunted leg if I would like it, then downloaded it AND THEN after I got it, watched the whole thing because you reminded me.

So basically, it was a team-work.
Well done to all involved lol

Anyway let's MSN this and leave the thread alone before someone comes in accusing me of making dents in cars or whatever lol

[curryking1]

Pfft, I could make better recommendations...

I'm sure I knew of this before anyone here did...

>.>

<.<

My recommendation! :D

P.S. I have a BluRay quality version, it looks pretty sick XD

P.P.S. Also... I forgot to mention... the music in Goldeneye is farking amazing. The intense theme that plays over the battles is sooooooooooo damn good.

The one I'm talking about is the one that plays just right after Bond and Natalya escape from the Russian Prison (Ouromov kills the Defense Minister). It's heavy on violin I think too, it's sweet :)

I should download the OST.... lol.

[LiquidEagle]

meh, I saw Paprika in theatres at a film festival, so I definitely win.

[Boggy700]

The Last Of The Summer Wine
An old English comedy with Peter Sallis (the voice of Wallace & Gromit's Wallace.)

Hair High
A Bill Plympton animation.
I'd only ever seen short animations by him before, and was surprised to see how well his style works in a feature length format. Among others, the voice cast includes Sarah Silverman, David Carradine, Don Hertzfeldt and Matt Groening!
So cool!

[the poe collector]

Walk Hard (again)
The Unbearably long, self-indulgent director's cut.
None of the new parts were really funny or bad, they were just kind of there.

Rushmore
is brilliant.

Scarface
I'm going to be quoting lines and doing a horrible Tony Montana impression for at least a week.
This happens to me every time I watch the film!

[curryking1]

Say hello to my little friend!

:):):)

M is way better though :P

You don't like me, Bond. You don't like my methods. You think I'm an accountant, more
interested in numbers than your instincts.

The thought had occurred to me.

Good. Because I think you are a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appealed to that young woman I sent out to evaluate you.

Point taken.

Not quite. If you think I don't have the balls to send a man out to die, your instincts are dead wrong. But I won't do it on a whim, even with your cavalier attitude towards life.

[the poe collector]

Would you actually go around saying those things to people?

[curryking1]

You are a sexist misogynous dinosaur?

Of course!!! :D

[HPK]

No Country for Old Men

The movie was pretty good. Slow, but good. Well...it was good up until that one guy got killed. Then the movie was kind of boring. I ended up missing the ending (the whole thing about Tommy Lee Jones' dream). I was quite fond of Anton, though.

[Media]

Rushmore's my favorite movie, Poe. Although I can easily say Royal Tenenbaums and Darjeeling Limited are better movies mechanically, Rushmore has the most emotional purity behind its quirks.

[curryking1]

Wow, I totally forgot to check out Darjeeling Limited. I probably need to... I think it's required... my heritage compels me to be interested... lol.

My family will probably love it because it takes place in India lol. I should get that asap :P

[the poe collector]

Rushmore's my favorite movie, Poe. Although I can easily say Royal Tenenbaums and Darjeeling Limited are better movies mechanically, Rushmore has the most emotional purity behind its quirks.

I feel the same way.

It's been too long since I've seen Royal Tenenbaums. I plan to correct this as soon as possible.

[Boggy700]

Inner Senses
An Asian horror movie.
(Ha! "Asian"! Nice cover-all!)
No really, it's Chinese.
It wasn't scary though.
I feel quite neutral.

[masteratt]

Rosetta

It was alright.
Good acting stood out, nothing else did.
Not to say it was bad but just nothing stood out.

So I'll give it 6/10.

[curryking1]

Masteratt you're supposed to watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time!

No one said you can watch other movies in the meantime. :mad:

[masteratt]

Can't download anything here and they didn't have that at the library so my apologies sir.

[seahorse]

i watched pulp fiction again today.

it really is pretty much the perfect movie.

[curryking1]

I'm about to watch the Cowboy Bebop movie.

I did some wiki-ing and googling on it and it seems like it could be one of the rare times I'd thoroughly enjoy something out of anime.

The series sounds kind of interesting too and something I'd like. Other than the general high acclaim it seems like it has worldwide, the concept reminds me of a RPG and also focused me in on this particular movie and series.

I read a lot about jazz music influences so that also made me more interested.

I'm also liking how it seems like a pretty short series so I won't have to stay on top of it for very long. I'll get the episodes probably after.

[Nova]

The movie doesn't do the Cowboy Bebop series any justice..

It's still a decent film, but not nearly as polished and cohesive as the series.

It's definitely worth a watch.

[curryking1]

Ya I watched the first 20 minutes I think. It was interesting but nothing really stood out at all lol. I'll finish it eventually. Some other time though.

I'll just start on the series, got all the episodes already lol.

I think Faye Valentine has displaced every other anime heroin as the hottest girl in any animated show ever btw. I've heard the name before but never really remembered the face from pictures, but definitely the hottest girl after seeing her from her show.

P.S. I forgot to say, the intro song is ***king radical. I mean I already like it that it's not some random techno J-pop music thing, but the jazz beat and the tone is pretty damn wicked.

*Just started the first episode, although I heard the intro a few times already - just previewing a few of the episodes randomly

[the poe collector]

I agree with everything Transcend said about the Cowboy Bebop movie.

Black Hawk Down
The most realistic war movie?
I don't know, but it is pretty damn intense.

The Rundown
It's kind of a dumb movie, but still very entertaining.
The Rock and Sean William Scott are a weird combination, but fucking hilarious together.
Christopher Walken also gets plenty of funny things to say.

[Passive]

MacGyver Season 2.
Nothing needs be said ^^

Gladiator
Watched this again because some idiot claimed 300 was better than gladiator and Kingdom of heaven. and i had a huge argument with him about it :P So i had to watch this amazing film again.

[masteratt]

La Promesse

Same makers as Rosetta (http://forums.e-mpire.com/showpost.php?p=1873659&postcount=1634) (Luc & Jean-Pierre Dardenne).

It had good acting but like Rosetta, some of the emotional moments lacked the reason to be THAT emotional since it had a weak build-up so those bits were underwhelming.

Pretty similar experience to Rosetta but I thought the story was slightly more interesting so this gets a low 7/10.

[speed stick]

Watched knocked up for the first time the other night. I don't know why it took me so long to finally be able to see this movie.

Anyways, it was longer then I thought which was fine because it turned out to be a very funny movie. Not the funniest I've seen but still good. I don't feel like going into more details.

[Gummy]

Forbidden Kingdom.

I enjoyed it.
Great fighting scenes and man oh man there's some parts I really love about that movie.
The whiteboy wasn't that annoying, but cheesy though.

[Crow]

i watched Interview With A Vampire with the better half on Saturday, wasn't greatly impressed and i hear the book is far better

[Nova]

Takes place in Mexico; the plot involves a string of events that are all tied to each other (and other people). This movie was pretty graphic; there were a few scenes with bloodied dog bodies, dog fights, etc. If you can stand subtitles to an entirely Spanish movie, and aren't offended by animal violence - you should definitely give this movie a watch.



If anyone's interested, here's a trailer.

Son Of Frankenstien

[Fillibuster]

Just got done watching Taxi Driver. Classic movie, DeNiro + Scorsese = pwnsome

[HPK]

I am Legend

Pretty lame if you asked me. So some virus that cures cancer goes airborne and they try to block off New York City....wait...it's airborne, right? How would blowing up bridges help out? Also, for being this super scientist soldier guy, Will Smith was pretty lame. So he stabs himself with a knife on accident. Instead of running away to his car on one leg, he starts being a bitch and crawls. Up until the zombie dogs attack. Then he's sobbing because he got his dog killed.
Okay, honestly, I hated that part. I liked the dog.
But yeah, there was very little explanation about how the virus went airborne and why it turned everyone into bald zombies with a weakness to sunlight. For half the movie, Will Smith is living a pretty easy life despite the lack of human contact. Then after they killed off the dog, he goes crazy and out of no where, some chick and kid come out. No seriously...how did they fight off those things at night?
And then towards the end of the movie, Will Smith decides to sacrifice himself in a cliché manner. While this is going on, I'm forced to watch the same zombie animations over and over. The movie ends with the chick and kid going up north because apparently, the cold helps out.

After looking at a synoposis of the book, the book sounded a bit better.

[LiquidEagle]

HPK, if you didn't really like that ending, I believe the DVD/Blu Ray release has an alternate ending (probably the original one they went with). I haven't seen the other ending yet but I'm eager to.

I just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall today and I loved it. Jason Segel was very likeable, and I think he wrote a really good script here too. The songs he wrote were good too, and both chicks in it are very hot so that worked out. Russell Brand was also hilarious. :)

[Nova]

I watched To Sir, With Love.

A classic movie starring Sidney Poitier, it was a very simple and charming movie where Sidney Poitier's character begins teaching at a school in a British slum.

[I Am Legend Alternate Ending (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikH8xape4hY)]

[LiquidEagle]

Thanks for the link, that was very cool to watch. I like that ending a lot because all the hints throughout the story that they are conscious beings went unanswered, and this really brought the story together more. Not sure why the studio wanted them to reshoot over that ending either since it wasn't a "bad" one at all.

[HPK]

See, that's a better ending to I Am Legend. It gives us a sense that they aren't just a bunch of balding vampire zombies, but I have to admit: I was very surprised they didn't just kill Will Smith and the other two. I kind of like how it just ended with them leaving the city (though I do question why that bridge was still in tact).
Also, it gives that one infected guy a role (the one who ran out into the sun and smashed up his head against the glass). I was wondering why he was considered the main antagonist. This ending gave him more of a purpose.

I think they just went with the martydom ending because people seem to love it when main characters sacrifice their lives for the greater good. I like them too, but I prefer those kinds of endings to make sense. Actually, the martydom didn't upset me as much as the ending lines. "We are his legend." What? Isn't that the wrong word to use? "legacy" would've made more sense.

[LiquidEagle]

Yeah, I think the sacrifice itself wasn't bad, but it's just that this alternate ending really gave meaning to a lot of earlier events.

[the poe collector]

Reign of Fire
One of those movies that you know is a bit stupid, but you still like it anyway. Christian Bale has been good in every movie I've seen him in and Matthew McConaughey's crazy axe-wielding dragonslayer character is a trip.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
I got the sudden urge to watch this the other day. Save Ferris!

[Nova]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
I got the sudden urge to watch this the other day. Save Ferris!

I had the biggest crush on Sloane (Mia Sara) the first time I saw the movie.

Not One Less:
Amazing story of a Chinese girl named Wei Minzhi who teaches children in an extremely poor province of China. The story is based on the actual events that occured, many of the characters in the movie are played by the actual people themselves.

[speed stick]

Watched Juno last night with a chick from work. It was actually better then I thought. For some reason I figured it was going to be more of a chick flick then anything. But some of my other friends from work said they enjoyed the movie as well.

[HPK]

Cloverfield

The movie was pretty interesting, but I thought it was kind of weird how that camera just kept lasting throughout the entire movie (and how, even in life-or-death situations, that camera couldn't be abandoned). I liked the direction the film was going in, but the whole, "I gotta save this girl I've been crushing on for years!" thing was pretty stupid. He got everyone he was travelling with killed all over this bitch that somehow manages to survive a pole through her chest and a helicopter crash.
The ending was kind of....meh. The audio clip at the end didn't do much (I wonder how they survived all those bombs anyway). The alternate endings didn't change things either. I guess I am never satisfied with endings.

But I enjoyed the movie, despite how unrealistic the "realism" was, I found it to be a fun movie. I'll probably pick it up at some point.

[Rorange T-rex]

Forbidden Kingdom - I love this movie. 100/10

[the poe collector]

Charlie Wilson's War
I thought this film was really good. I was surprised by how funny it was.
The entire cast did a nice job, but I especially liked Philip Seymour Hoffman's character.

Biodome
I don't remember why I watched this shit.

Rain Man
This is definitely a good movie. Definitely.

The Streak
The story of Florida's Brandon High School's wrestling program, which held the longest winning streak in American sports history with a perfect record of 451-0 record spanning 34 years.

Guess what? The Streak ended while this was being filmed. Ouch...

Ghost
It’s all about the Hamiltons baby
Throw the snacks in a bag and I’m Ghost like Swayze.

Lions for Lambs
I thought it was alright. It would probably be more interesting to someone who cared about politicks.
It's heavy on the dialogue, so if you have a problem with that then consider yourself warned.

The Departed
One of my favorite films made in the last few years.

Southland Tales
This film is really difficult to make sense of, but I still liked parts of it.
There are a ton of characters and some of them just get in the way of the ones you really want to see.

[Gummy]

Just seen Naruto: Shippūden the Movie, loved it. I thought it was awesome and Naruto was funny as always, especially at the end. Great movie, everyone should check it...naruto fans at least >_>

It's fucking awesome.

I just wish that they have more challanging bad dudes man.
They are all too damn easy to beat and buncha pussies.

I want naruto to actually fight with his full strength and his team mates back him up.

GAH!

Anyways, I want to see the 2nd one too.

Lost Highway (the first 5 freakin' minutes)

I don't know why but I feel bad for not posting in this thread for so long (because it means I haven't watched a movie in so long) but recently got Lost Highway from the library after a friend 'ordered' me basically to watch a bit more David Lynch.

Why did I only watch the first 5 mins?
My PC DVD driver fucked up again (does that now and then) so it froze/ made weird noises etc and I ended up not being able to watch more (now the DVD is returned).

The first 5 mins were great, I liked the style and the tension of the characters (though I thought they were bad actors but it somehow added to it) and I can't wait to go home, legally purchase this and watch the rest.

Anticipation on wanting to watch the rest- 8/10.

[Rorange T-rex]

Little Miss Sunshine - I wasn't really expecting anything from this movie but I really liked it.
Most of it was hilarious.

The Sasquatch Gang - What a stupid but hilarious movie.

[masteratt]

Aliens vs Predator 2

First of all; most of the movie I didn't know what the hell was going on because everything was so freakin' dark.
I'm pretty sure my eyesight got raped whilst watching this movie.

Second of all, it doesn't help predator and aliens look a like, the only way I found to tell them a part is the predator has dreadlocks whilst the aliens don't but since this movie is so dark, you can't see the dreadlocks most of the time so most of the movie me and my brother were going:
"oh, the alien just got owned...I think?"
"No, that was the predator..."
"how do you know?"
"I don't. im guessing..."

They don't even do anything anyway for the first 40mins.
Urgh, the first 40mins.........I seriously don't want to talk about it but the film basically tries to set up the characters and you end up hating every one of them because the script is 100 times worse than any teen romcom shit FOX puts out there combined.

It's funny though because of it's one liners:
"They'll be here soon."
"NOT SOON ENOUGH!"

The action was also extremely dull and were edited way too frantically.
Mix that with the fact that it's too dark and it was basically- LOUD NOISES! SOMETHING SPLATTERS! END OF FIGHT!

Also I had no idea what the fuck happened at the very end but that was basically because I got up to eject the disc and was just waiting for the credits to roll so I didn't really pay attention.

Horrible fucking movies, only way to enjoy this is to get drunk with your friends so you can make fun of it and also, turn up your brightness to 5million percent before watching this.

3/10.
God I love ranting about bad movies.

[Gummy]

Throne of Blood - Amazing Japanese film.

It was better than what I expected too but I probably expected less.

Had some funny moments but wasn't that funny or enjoyable overall.

Definitely watchable though.

Iron Man -Great movie and by far the best Marvel made yet.

I watched Death and a Funeral on the weekend. It was a pretty good movie.

AVP2 sucked humongous balls juice. The first one was way better. Why the FUCK did they focus on the humans relationships?!!! It's AVP not Women Vs. Virginity!!! I turned it off half way through and threw the DVD across the room...then returned it :devious: Anyways the last movie I saw was...ummm...Big...with Tom Hanks...I've seen it millions of times but my little sister never did.

Just finished watching Step Up 2 Rise of The Streets or some shit, what ever its called. Anyway, that movie was niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, i liked it alot. Makes me wish i could dance. Adam Savani is a G man, love that fool...no homo....

[masteratt]

Beerfest

Yeah I'm not even going to bother with proper feedback.

2/10.

[Passive]

not really a movie but, watching through Supernatural Season 1 at the moment. So far it's pretty entertaining =D

[Crosman]

Strange Wilderness - Jonah Hill is pretty funny in this movie but overall the movie was decent.

6/10

[Raitei]

Pans labrynth

good movie

[OG_Monkey]

Jumper

8/10

I really liked this movie although to me it felt as if everything was just moving so fast. I wont spoil the ending but they made it so that there will be a Jumper 2...hopefully. Anyway yea, everything was moving so fast. Kid drowns, jumps, time skip, hes older and rich, people are after him, fight, end. Like wtf. It was a 01:30:00 movie.

But yea, it was pretty cool. Great actors, all that.

[TrueVCU]

Layer Cake

wtf?

[Ballygowan]

PS I love you!

:)

[speed stick]

Was way better then I thought. Had lots of really funny parts in it. I really thought it was stupid what he does when he finally gets that one chick to hang with him, justs too far fetched and actually pissed me off.

[Crosman]

Semi Pro

Had a few funny parts but really lacked throughout the entire show. Really boring movie overall.

5/10

[Raitei]

did you wtf layer cake? i thought it was a good movie

as for my latest
The prestige, which is an almighty confusing movie up until the last minute

[masteratt]

The Bank Job

Man why am I not inspired to write proper reviews anymore? Bah.
I will just say, ehhhhh.

5/10.
I will stop watching Hollywood crap now.
Next to watch: Lost Highway.

[Milly]

I watched Dogma.... Very strange Movie

[masteratt]

Next to watch: Lost Highway.
Curse my lies!
But I just couldn't be fucked to torrent stuff.

So I watched Cloverfield instead (rent DVD lying around).

I found this pretty boring and annoying.

I still don't get why the director wanted us to hate these people, it made the film pretty pointless.
If we liked them we would be 'in the moment' but since I wanted all of them to die or didn't care enough to react to them dying or living, I just didn't give a shit.
So what ended up happening was I basically watched them walk while they spew annoying as fuck dialogue at each other for 1 and a half hours all the whilst the cameraman couldn't hold the fucking camera straight for once.

I know it's meant to be hand-held and etc but I'm pretty sure normal un-trained camera operators can hold the fucking thing straight!

It pushed the "OMG LOOK IT IZ HANDHELDZ CAMERAZ LULZ!!" agenda way too hard and it frustrated me.

*zoomz in*
"OMG AM I ZOOMING IN LOL I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO OPERATE THIZ LULZ"
That actually happens. (minus the internet talk)

I just wanted to eloborate on the annoying dialogue comment.
It was full of "like", "totally", "dude" and "Rob".

Here is an example:
DUDE! ROB! ROB! ROB!!! WE SHOULD TOTALLY LIKE DUDE ROB!!"

And at core this was really a love movie.
If at the end it showed the 'lovers' being ripped apart by the monster, I would have given it 10/10 but it doesn't and as it stands it's a horrible movie, there is nothing in it except when the monster made it's first attack, that bit was fun but overall:
4/10.

[Nova]

Renaissance
I enjoyed the cg-animated film noir style it had going for it.

The plot wasn't very original, but it's an extremely polished movie - definitely worth a rental.

Rating: 7/10

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
If you're ever stuck in the house on a dreadfully rainy day this would definitely be the film to watch.

[ I was sifting through old DVD's all day. ]

On the surface this movie can seem quite depressing and a bit abstract - but it manages being barely surreal enough so as to not have you questioning your existence after watching it.

All in all it had an extremely emotionally driven storyline with endearing characters.

Rating: 8/10

[masteratt]

The Bucket List
SOME (very few) of the dialogue was okay and the acting was great but other than that.......Well, there is no "other than that", that was the whole movie.

Didn't really capture me except when they finally died (i dont mean that in a asshole way, it was just great that it was still emotional even though the whole movie was about them dying) and some bits were funny at times.

6/10.

[dncardman]

No Country for Old Men

Quite the amazing movie up until the last 15-20 minutes because there really is no ending and it confuses the hell out of you. If not for that I would have given it a 9..Instead.

8.0

[Dakota Grabowski]

Watched The Incredible Hulk last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. 7.8/10 for me.

[speed stick]

Yeah, I really didn't like this movie. So lame. I don't even want to talk about it haha.

[masteratt]

Semi-Pro

C'mon Will Ferrell, give us another Talladega Nights.

This had similar moments of genius comedy but lacked in other departments though it was funnier than most of his other recent releases, it still wasn't that great overall.

5/10.

[masteratt]

Jumper

It was better than what I expected but must all these recent Hollywood films be evolved around girlfriend/boyfriend relationships, jeez.
It's like no matter what genre I watch all of the movies are aimed at 16 year old girls.

The beginning was my favourite part, the pace and the style of the introduction of his powers was done very well and then after that it went to a "eh ok" kind of film.
The action scenes weren't that awesome and most of them lacked creativity but they weren't boring at least, nice sit down and watch style as you would expect.

5/10.

[Nate]

The Lion King

I was cleaning up my closet and I found the VHS copy of it. I figured I pop it in for shits and giggles. The last time I watched this movie was when I was 9.

And its still a damn good movie.

[Chris]

L.A. Confidential, that movie is so damn awesome, hadn't watched it in a while.

[Gilly]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I went and watched it tonight. I thought it was pretty good. The movie had a good pace to it, I liked the storyline and the characters. Harrison Ford looked like the Indy of old, and Shia Labeouf was a great addition to the story.

7.5/10

[masonite]

Flags of our Fathers.

Great movie, and a brave step to show the true story behind a famous image synonymous with victory and america, and also to show what war was really like to go through. Can't wait to see letters from Iwo Jima.

9/10.

[<3frosty]

Get Smart- wasnt as un-funny as some of the critics felt. Had quite a few good laughs, and a few chuckle moments. The movie was fast paced (less than two hours, from what i recall), and the movie kept my interest as well. Not the best action/comedy, but fun.

7/10

[Gummy]

^ i'm going to watch it tonight.

good thing i read yours, I'm sure it won't be too bad.
Hathaway is hot.

[HPK]

Kung Fu Panda
I saw this movie on a whim (girlfriend). It had some funny moments, but it wasn't anything too special. It had some nice 2D bits. I would've liked the movie more if it was entire in 2D. Also, this is probably the only movie with Jack Black in it I could watch entirely.

The Happening
Originally, I was supposed to see The Incredible Hulk but half of the group (7 or 8 of them) decided to see this movie 45 minutes before the Hulk started. I thought it was a dumb idea, since the movie looked bad. Turns out the movie was bad, minus a few moments I was able to crack a few jokes.

[Gummy]

haha the happening has the worse acting ever, reactions and all that.

Walberg, John Liguizamo(sp?), and Zooey Deschanel was alright, I know they are good actors though.
It had some "wtf" moments for me.

The black kid and the white kid getting blasted was awesome.

[<3frosty]

^ i'm going to watch it tonight.

good thing i read yours, I'm sure it won't be too bad.
Hathaway is hot.

Her face isnt that great, nor is the lack of any pigmentation on her body. But she has a very nice body. :thumbl:

and HPK, dont you mean 3D bits? 2D is what every film has.

[HPK]

and HPK, dont you mean 3D bits? 2D is what every film has.

Okay, to further specify: The parts of the movie that look like 2D animations. Not the ones consisting of 3D models and animations.

Gummy: That was one of the moments I made a joke about.

[TrueVCU]

so glad I decided not to see the Happening

[curryking1]

I watched the first half of Mission Kashmir today.

I've already seen the movie, I just didn't want to watch the whole thing right now because the whole premise of the movie is so emotional and so is every other scene lol.

Songs in the movie are good too. This is one of the premier and essentially world reknown Bollywood movies.

[PUNK em 733]

On the happening...LOL! That is a shitfest if I ever saw one. They dragged you to see that? Some friends.

After watching the movie (which kicked ass), i now understand what you are talking about.

I dont know if i would have preferred an entire movie in 2D format (think moving comic books basically, a 2D picture with moving characters) but the 2D parts were pretty awesome.

I like it. I thought it was gonna be more kid friendly but it was pretty decent. Had a good mix of everything in it.

[HPK]

Rambo (2008)

A lot shorter than I was expecting it to be. There wasn't even that much action, when I think about it. But the action that was there was pretty nice. The story is forgettable, however.

[masteratt]

Death To Smoochy

This was freakin' hilarious, one of the best dark comedies I've seen.
You would think a Nazi joke would kill the film but they actually pull it off.

It's super wacky, super funny and except for the bit in the mid-late sections when it drags on a bit, it's highly enjoyable and greatly re-watchable.

I'm going to end by saying Robin Williams should do comedies like this, not that family crap and also I haven't laughed this much at a dark comedy in so long

This gets a well deserved- 8/10.

Getting ready to watch Wall-E...

After I d/l it.

No I'm not already d/ling it.

According to torrents, there is a Wall-E game... lol.

I predict I will give it a 2 and a half stars btw.

[Fillibuster]

Donnie Darko Pure fucking excellence

[Gummy]

I don't trust movie to games, well most of them anyways.
There are some that came out nice... kind of.


I can't wait to see Wall-E in theater, unlike mr curryking and his d/ling scheme!

=P

[masteratt]

Rambo 4

I have unlimited respect for Stallone [Sly].
He did it with Rocky and he did it with Rambo.

Reminding us that sometimes all you need in a film is some good old fashioned ass whoopin'.

The fact that this was based on a true event kinda made it more difficult to enjoy the violence but of course you still did.
It's the most artistic form of violence I ever saw, it actually excited you yet you didn't feel like a animal whilst enjoying it, great stuff.

8/10.

The game or the movie? They have been advertising/talking about the Wall-E movie for a while now btw. Its pretty much guaranteed that most of the hit movies will have a game made after it, especially popular animated movies. Kids eat that shit up. Cars, Kung Fu Panda, Ice Age 2, etc all had multi-platform releases.

=P

i cant wait to see it in the movies either. Its one of those movies i would always rather watch in a theater than at my home first. The visuals and the sound are going to be awesome. Im also interested in how the audience reacts to the fact that within the first 30 minutes of the movie, there isnt a single line of actual dialogue. I bet some kids are going to go crazy.

[<3frosty]

Wall-E
Utter perfection for a film. Lots of laughs, great love story, great cautionary tale, great ending, great everything. You get attached to the characters and the visuals are amazing. Pixar, you are amazing.
10 out of 10.

[speed stick]

^Damn I've heard so much good things about Wall-E. I've never even seen the trailer for it or anything.

Last seen Mama's Boy. I thought it was a really awesome movie. Hes so immature it makes me laugh and so nerdy at the same time.

[masteratt]

^Damn I've heard so much good things about Wall-E. I've never even seen the trailer for it or anything.
UwaIrN_qRRQ&feature=iv

Looks extremely nice.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Wall-E, for the win.

[TrueVCU]

^this is the truth

[FoeHammer]

watched kingdom of heaven the other day

one of the coolest movies ever made

[masteratt]

I really wanted to see Wall-E since that's been on my mind for a while after the trailers and the awesome praise it's been getting from every reliable source BUT, instead, I've watched 'Be Kind Rewind' which was surprisingly inspiring.

I thought it would be a comedy and it kind of was, the way they re-shoot the films are humorous but for me I was more amazed with how they improvised the props and the sets that they didn't have.
It was pretty intriguing.

I kind of have a dislike for Jack Black but this role fit him very well and he pulled it off nicely so kudos to him.

I also liked how the resolution of the film didn't feel like "we have a problem?! WELL LET'S COME TOGETHER AND SOLVE IT! YAYYYYYYYY!" although it kinda was but since the ending isn't wrapped up TOO clearly, it doesn't feel like it.

So an inspiring comedy about film making with an ending that doesn't feel cheesy?
Damn right it's going to get 8/10 (this feels generous for some reason but 7/10 feels not enough and I don't give 7.2.32.2.42 scores)

[HPK]

I saw Wanted last Friday.

It's okay.

[Kay B]

Soul plane, great film gotta love captain snoop! fo'shizzle!

[<3frosty]

Wanted

What a kick ass, no holds barred, action ride. The special effects were awesome, the story line was great, Angelina looked smokin, the main character was great, and it definitely earned its rated R rating. Just a non-stop joyride. I literally found myself laughing out loud in action scenes in pure glee.
9.9/10

[Fillibuster]

Deathproof and Planet Terror

[Raitei]

watched hero and reservoir dogs today

both good movies

[OmniCloud]

Hancock

ending was a bit too dramatic and lost me, but overall very good movie. Not typical. It felt fresh, Will Smith was funny, and the humor was spot-on besides the action. Definitely worth a watch, just be prepared for a slow ending, but it picks back up before the movie actually ends;)

8/10

[Hisham]

Wanted

6.5/10

Stupid predictable plot, which was saved by the action, which was awesome.

[OG_Monkey]

Street Kings
7.5/10

Awesome movie. Story was really good, gotta think though cuz my lil brother didn't even get it untill I explained it to him. All good except the crappy ending leaving you with a garunteed, "WTF" or "ooook". All good actors for the most part....except The Game....and Cedric

The Hulk
7/10

First of all that Brazilian chick around 00:17:00 was hoooooot....yeah, I DO time my movies at the theater with a stopwatch and just happened to know what time that girl apppeared :shifty:

Anyway, I thought this movie was...ok...but kinda meh. Iron Man sweeps the floor with this movie. It wasn't stupid...but also wasn't mindblowing.

[Hisham]

lol... Bootlegger.

[masteratt]

Waking Life

At first it felt like it would be just random pointless blabbing (as the film best put it, "all theory, no action") and some bits were indeed just that but by 'some' I only mean around 5% of the film.

The rest of it was fascinating and I really like the way it's animated so even if the topic is boring you can look at the imagery and appreciate that instead.

Watching this reminded me of my experience of reading The Alchemist.
Some bits were new and exciting to the point of inspiration, some bits I felt I already knew and it wasn't presented in any new way and some bits were over-done and I felt like they were over doing the evaluating outlook.

Overall though I think almost anyone would find this interesting if you are in the right mood as it is about human nature and things we all wonder now and then.

A very solid 8/10.

[Nova]

Zwartboek (Black Book)

[ This is probably the only Nazi-related film that I'd care to watch again. ]

The movie takes place in the Netherlands during the end of WWII following the journey of a young Jewish woman ( Ellis de Vries / Rachel Stein ) who joins the Dutch resistance to infiltrate a Gestapo Headquarters and gets tangled within the own lies she spins as a spy for the resistance.

[TrueVCU]

Hellboy II

the creature designs ALONE were worth it :-D

[Unspoken]

^ That's the only reason I want to see the movie; I loved Del Toro's creatures in Pan's Labyrinth.




Steel Magnolias

You should have seen this coming, guys...

Surprisingly, however, this was a great movie! Had some of the best acting I'd seen in a long time, and it's probably the best movies for quotes. I think Sally Field could have done the emotional breakdown a bit better; I almost started laughing at one point, but the rest of the movie was spot-on.

"You are evil, and you must be destroyed."

[Gilly]

Waking Life

Great movie to watch when you're high, if that's your thing.
Worth a watch either way though. I've seen it a few times and really liked it. It gets you to think.

[speed stick]

Hellboy II

the creature designs ALONE were worth it :-D

Were they ever. I went Friday night which I think was the opening night. And damn, that was such a wicked movie. I figured it would be good but it surpassed my expectations.

[TrueVCU]

it also helped that all the kids in the theater largely kept their mouths shut MIRACLE FROM HEAVEN

[speed stick]

Watched Cheech and Chong up in smoke the other day. Such a funny classic.

[curryking1]

I heard Hellboy II was great. Read a bunch of reviews that the style was simply sweet. IIRC I also heard that there were scenes well done with limited talking and more gestures or something? I thought that was cool.

Apparently Sony Pictures dropped the franchise along with the studio in Revolution. Universal snatches them up and pumps out a sweet movie.

Sony Pictures definitely dropped the ball with the 'This isn't a profitable franchise for us.'

[speed stick]

^Yes Hellboy II was a wicked ass movie. Its one you really can't pass up on if you want something totally different.

Just finished watching Rambo. That new one obviously. Anyways, fuck this movie was way better then i thought. I loved all the gore and action. Even watched it in HD which made it that much better ;). Anyways, the movie kinda had a strange ending, well I thought it was weird.....
