Last movie I watched: Surf's up
Review: I though it'd be childish and stupid, it turned out to be childish and funny + it had a nice soundtrack. Also the waves CG was pretty impressive 8)

Does movies you've seen on TV count?
V for Vendetta Over-rated shit. Bad acting, bad dialogue and the worst fake English accents since Keanu Reeves in Dracula. It attempts to combine The Matrix and 1984... and fails miserably. The plot isn't worth caring about and the action... there isn't enough.
Slighty over two lines... screw it.

Grave of the Fireflies (animated).
The saddest, most heart wrenching movie ever. I almost cried watching it (it is extremely difficult for me to even feel the urge to cry). But the messages it leaves you with make the viewing more than satisfying. I recommend that everyone on the planet watch this movie.

Last movie I watched: War
Review: I'm not a spoiler but this movie was way confusing, many twists and turns [with blades]. Great gun action, great storyline. It's defiantly worth seeing weather you are a Jet Li fan or a Jason Statham go see it

Hulk.
Its was ok. I loved how it had comic style effects in it, but the thing I didn't like was how long it was. It was like 2 hours and 40 minutes, way too long and little bit boring too. I had seen Hulk movie once from DVD, but now I saw it again from TV.
V2 - Jäätynyt Enkeli (Frozen Angel)
This movie was great. I also loved the first "Vares" movie that came out in TV for a while ago. The movie had lots of different and original characters, and action. People in thise forum should watch the movie, if they can find one with english subtitles since the movie is finnish.

Movie: Azumi (Japanese live action movie. The story is about one girl and 9 other orphans trained to be assassins and carrying out a mission during Japan's feudal times.)
My Review: Get ready to see people die!... In a "eh, that was cool, but it's been done before", sort of way. Hot Asian girl as lead character = +10, English dubbing = -5, The movie itself = somewhere inbetween.

Movie: Cello (A Korean horror movie based around a woman and how her late musical rival from her past torments her present day life and family.)
Review: About 10 mins into this "Grudge" clone, you'll either be pulling a MST3K on this or a drinking game to how often the little annoying girl whines about something. Hot female Asian lead character = +10, Hot female Asian support characters = +2 (some where just meh), Predictable storyline with a crappy offbeat premise added to it = +30 if you're drunk and/or making fun of it, -30 if you're not doing either.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was the best show that made fun of movies.
Movie: Serenity.
The show Firefly was canceled after only one season, but the DVD sales and strong fanbase allowed creator/writer/director Joss Wheden (Who also created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) to make a movie that wrapped up events in the story. The movie ties the loose ends, and gives you a good deal of entertainment.

One of my favorite movies... Scorched!
Review: The construction of different stories for each of the different characters robbing the same bank was awesome. The way their stories were separate, they all intertwined in some way, and never knew the other person was robbing the bank. A vengeant natureman vs corrupted rich bastard, dumped girlfriend vs idiotic bank manager, genious and manipulative friend vs odds, and a sidestory of adversity of a seemingly useless unhireable man vs fate, and his friend vs the same corrupted bastard played by John Cleese. It's hard to explain in words to describe and review this movie but it's one of my favorites.

Review: I forget the title to the "movie" they watch, but who cares, you're really in it to see Mike, Crow, and Tom Servo bash the living hell out of a it! This movie takes every bit of the humor from the show and does it in style. If you're a fan of the show, you definitely MUST see this movie, you won't be disappointed!
No hot Asian females :'( = -10, "Government Eggo Project" = +10, A movie essentially about sarcasm at it's finest = +100.

Meh, I still think it'd be hard for them to beat their review of "Manos, the Hands of Fate." That movie had so much wrong with it, it got to the point where it looked like they made it FOR MST3K.

i must agree wholeheartedly. as for me:
Sicko. This was my very first Moore film. Now, i myself am canadian, so was shocked to see the states of the health care systems in other countries(mainly the states). a well done look at the system, at least in my eyes. 60 thousand dollars for a middle finger?!

I have watched the new Beowulf - It's compelety CG and very well done, My buddy only complained about one thing "Dude that dragon was way to easy to kill" me I thought the animation on the characters sprites have to be "dulled" to give the characters a more realistic look (everytime the light died in a room their skin didn't "glow" as much) other than that it was an awsome movie with a good storyline and I plan to buy it once it comes out on dvd

Two separate stories of some pretty girls being stalked by a stuntman (Kurt Russell) who chooses to kill them via 1970 Dodge Challenger and (the best car in the entire world) 1970 Dodge Charger. Good luck catching all the old-school references of older car movies Tarantino throws at you.

Review: Satoshi Kon (who made Perfect Blue, Paranoia Agent, and more) always has a way of making unique films. It's obvious that Satoshi Kon knows what he's doing---this movie grabs you by the scruff of the neck and forces you to watch it.

Movie: Night of the Living Dead by George Romero (1968, B/W version). [Go ahead and laugh, I didn't see this one until just recently]
Review:
Just due to score and mood created here, I was more afraid of a solitary zombie stalking the heroine in the opening scene than watching the usual legion charging some guys while the camera shakes wildly like most people expect nowadays, and thus it's definitely going down as one of my favorites. It's also Public Domain so there's no excuse for anyone not to download it. :sugoi:

Moive: Six Degrees of Separation (Donald Sutherland, Will Smith, Stockard Channing)
Review: This is an older movie (1993 I think)...if you can put aside your daily intake of anime & video games and want to appreciate one of the greatest satire pieces the 90s ever produced, this is definitely the movie. Based on a real-life story (in the 80s), David Hampton (Will Smith) is a con man who hustles many upper middle-class families by portraying himself as Paul Poitier, the son of Sidney Poitier (alledgedly...). When you see Will Smith dissertate his point-of-view on the book "The Catcher In The Rye".....trust me, you will agree that he is the ultimate bullshitter. Other stars include Heather Graham and Anthony Michael Hall.
This is Will Smith's first starring role in a movie....and I must say, it's the greatest. Two :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

A League of their own.
This is a movie about a women's baseball team in the 40's (there's more, but this is supposed to be short). I rather enjoyed the movie, and there were some good lines in there.
The newer Dawn of the Dead movie was badass, regardless of what anyone says. Also, I feel obliged to include Shawn of the Dead well.
I think I should quote George Romero on the new Dawn of the Dead
George Romero said:
The first 15, 20 minutes were terrific, but it sort of lost its reason for being. It was more of a video game. I'm not terrified of things running at me; it's like Space Invaders. There was nothing going on underneath.
Also Shawn of the Dead is a parody so...

A movie called: Little Man (http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/littleman/)
The plot of the film was god awful, but it had a huge amount of funny scenes. If you're bored and need some laughs, I highly recommend this movie. The wayans brothers are hilarious.

Review: It was directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (the guys that brought you Epic Movie and Date Movie). The last sentence should have been a clear indication to stay the fuck away.
Final verdict: I want 84 minutes of my life back.

It may have not been a good "horror" movie, but it was a good zombie movie, that that's what I'm going by. At least it was far better than Land of the Dead.
And that's the reason Shawn of the Dead was mentioned: it's a parody. I just felt "obliged" to mention it.

Beowulf -If you like the poem, you are going to like the movie. and i mean like: what would keep anyone from loving it is the fact that it takes several liberties with what actually happens in the poem. It doesnt bother me though, i absolutely loved it. Action, sex, booze, sex, dragons, sex, and cleavage...lots of it...oh and Angelina Jolie...
30 Days of Night -Didn't even know this was based on a book. Anywho, i loved this movie aswell, gives the typical "vampires are lustful and romantic" image a turn on its ear and kicked out. these vampires are savages, to the point where the only thing they do is strike fear, utilize trap tactics, and kill. oh and ending for me was LOL

Grandma's Boy. Movie is pretty much an insult to anyone that wants to be in the video game industry, as it paints such folks as slacker stoners that somehow do almost nothing and yet get paid, though this may have been based off the staff of EA. I usually will watch even a bad movie all the way, but not even gratuitous and obviously fake breasts shoved in the middle of nowhere could make me not turn this when it hit the stoner scene, especially after watching the fat kid from Accepted (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accepted) bury his face in said breasts...yeah look just spare yourself and don't watch this.

Crank = Jason Statham movie http://www.crankfilm.com/
I thought the movie was god awful. The writers need to be fired. They used too many F words. Most of the cursing seemed like it was done for no reason.
Was there a story to this film? Something about a guy being injected with a Chinese drug at the beginning. Now he has to figure out what happened and find the guy(s) who did it before he dies.
I don't know. Some of the scenes were just so damn random. Like the gunfight towards the end. Jason Staham is by himself. He points his fingers at the bad guys(Acting like he's holding a gun), says "bang", one of the bad guys gets shot in he head. All of a sudden, a squad of guys appear behind him. Like some sort of magic trick. I don't remember seeing him do magic in this film. Did he learn this "pull the army out of the ass" trick somewhere?
There are some good scenes....... like...... sorry. I can't remember any good scenes. I know they're in the film. I guess none of them were memorable.

30 Days of Night -Didn't even know this was based on a book.
Comic book, I think. At first I was scared after my previous--and first--horror movie experience in a theater (28 Weeks Later; fled after about one hour or so). Then I saw the main actor and was really bored for the rest of the movie. I'm sorry but he was too busy looking pretty and forgot to be scared as far as I was concerned. Seriously. I wasn't horrified at all. (Phew.) And of course there had to be a romance. And of course the guy who gets the most gruesome death was the one who--how utterly un-American---betrayed his own family. XD Edit: I should add that we saw this at a surprise screening--obviously you approach that movie with a different attitude if you went there with the intent to see it.
Longer than two lines cuz it wasn't the last movie I saw.
That was... Earth, the BBC documentary thing that is very IN YOUR FACE about HOW YOU MUST SAVE THE ICE BEARS. I would have desired more actual documentary-style information about the animals shown, and more shark action. Whales bored me after a while. Worth watching for some great images, but too drawn out in places (where more spoken info could have helped).
Before that, Oceans 13. Empty empty empty empty movie goddamn what a waste. Nothing in there for me.

Watched Smokin' Aces with my significant other earlier today.
I thought the story was fairly intricate without being TOO hard to understand, the action was great, but wasn't completely over the top like some movies tend to do things (see above @ "Crank"). Movie was very straight forward minus a few plot twists that made things a lot more interesting overall. Definitely check this one out if you haven't already.

Brutal and entertaining thriller that managed to keep me awake all the way through, which is something special in my book. I never was really a fan Kevin Bacon's films, but he sure was a badass in this movie (in a fatherly figure sort of way).

I liked the story in SA but I thought it could've used more action. It seemed like it was sacrificed in exchange for an intricate story line. With all the build-up in the plot I kinda expected the action to be no-holds barred.

Agreed. The entire film is filled with plotholes (how exactly is Roland suppose to get down?).....which was done purposely so the blinded fans are demanded to go see the sequel (considering all the loose ends not tied, there had better be one).

Blade Runner
Erm. Need to watch it again, and this time it better be a better movie. o.O I expected something more... substantial (on the philosophical level, I mean). I need to re-read Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep as well but I thought the movie would include something it didn't.
Lars and the Real Girl
Solitary, reclusive guy introduces his girlfriend to family & town: a sex puppet. Remarkable because it worked for nearly everybody in the cinema. A very toned-down comedy that's hilarious nevertheless but probably a bit too low-key for some tastes.
No Country for Old Men
Want to see it again (and in English), had trouble sitting still late in the second half and so the movie seemed to get worse as it progressed. Fantastic tension.
The Island
Typical watch-once movie. Never again. I was even a bit disappointed int my low expectations because the film never seemed to get Bay's typical THIS IS A MICHAEL BAY MOVIE, FEEL THE GLORY feeling right. It had glittering stuff and shining images, explosions and a girl, shots of the American flag as usual but . . . no feel-good glory, somehow (as opposed to The Rock and Armageddon, for example). Maybe it was the wrong music.

Post by: Sepp on March 04, 2008, 04:09:37 pm
Mh, Scarlett was strange here. I cut my previous reply short but here's the thing: They just had to have the subplot (err... thing) with "they don't know anything about sex and we also killed their drive for it" and still insert a sex scene. But it was really weird. OMG she's so innocent WATCH OUT bar guy is gonna get you drunk and do stuff to you... but nothing happened, not even a drunk girl (could have been fun). Then they learn about kissing and then their sex drive is back (?) or starts existing or something and... I don't know, the rest was just random cuts with him or her on top of the other one.
Nothing interesting to see, not even awkward OK WHAT NOW? moments no jokes just scenes.
?__?
This after the other guy told the male star (and the audience) that he would be, like, in for a real surprise or a ride or something spectacular. So I dunno, she looked pretty ok but didn't really do anything (not even show skin!) but tag along and in my opinion was sexier in Lost In Translation. :d
Edit: Oh I forgot. I think these two cover all I've seen recently, for real this time. XD
Michael Clayton
A bit long. =/ On the upside, it has Shiva. I like Shiva. Want to see it in English.
Stranger than Fiction
Guy hears a narrator's voice in his head and discovers he's the main character of a book and sets out to find its author in order to prevent his imminent death. Featuring Donnie Darko's sister as the female. Neat. AREN'T YOU RELIEVED TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT A GOLEM?

I expected the worst after bad reviews but was quite entertained and always wanted to know what would happen next. Compared to what I remember from the first one, it was fairly easy to follow. I think I might have liked it better than Night Watch but... can barely remember watching that one.

Meh. Slightly above average action movie with decent explosions. And lots of good shooting.

The Prophecy III: The Ascent
Christopher Walken is Gabriel one last time. After losing against the angels loyal to god, then losing in the first movie because of his rivalry with Lucifer and getting cast down to hell, being spit up again (one devil is enough) and losing again in the second movie... errr well anyway, so the former Archangel is now exiled from both heaven and hell and is mostly human with angelic powers, lived in this way on Earth for some 18 years as a homeless guy with long hair (!), and he even learned how to drive cars.
Fun. Although he steps back for much of the movie and is a guardian and watcher rather than the figure who moves the plot forward. It's still awesome. (If he was the evil Terminator in the first two movies, he's now the Guardian Terminator here.) And he's looking for the word of God, isn't that cute? :wings:
"You been with a woman, Zophael? It's like dying... you moan, cry out. You get to a spot that has you begging for release. Once, I was an Angel of Death... now, I die every day... when I have the cash."
Catwoman
:omg:
The Passion of Christ
The cheap (!) ending of The Prophecy 3 is more, ah, spiritual and moving than this entire movie:
"In the end, there's still the word. Everywhere. In heaven with angels, the Earth and stars; even the darkest part of the human soul. It was there the word burned brightest, and for a moment...
I was blinded."
All this movie moved me to was
1) lol the Romans speak Latin 2) that poor Mel Gibbson :sad3: 3) ???

Title: Lost In Translation, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanssen
The basic rundown of this movie is Bill being paid two million dollars to do a whiskey commerical in Japan, S. Johanssen a recent college grad not really sure what it is she wants to do with her life. Her husband (Givonnai Ribisi) is promoting a movie in Japan. A chance meet happens between them and they become close friends, sharing an obvious unconsumated romance, enjoying their limited time with each other.
Don't know how people thought the movie was funny - its more serious with a few humorous moments to move it along. Either way, I liked it.

Sean Penn deserved his Oscar for Mystic River, but Bill Murray as well, in my opinion. He needs to get one sooner or later...

<shoon> lost in translation is decent <[Sepp]> perfect. somehow. my absolute favorite. saw it for the xth time <[Sepp]> last weekend, at a friend's; she hadn't seen it before and the <[Sepp]> verdict was: no problem if our plans for tomorrow don't work out, we could just watch that movie again.
The Virgin Suicides
Sofia Coppola's first movie, the one before Lost In Translation. Umm. Rather than continue leading their non-life under their ultra-conservative and restrictive parents, five sisters commit suicide. Josh Hartnett's not entirely innocent either, the bastard; it almost turned out well until he ruined it by leaving Kirsten Dunst in the night! . . . I couldn't really get into the movie.
The Aviator
I like Cate Blanchett but her make-up scared me (yuck!) and I liked the bit about having to worry over money. DiCaprio does a good job portraying the obsession/brilliance, but the movie's too long and I was impatient towards the end: yes, we got the point, he's kinda insane and repeating things, but that doesn't mean you have to keep repeating them as well---we got it!---now drop it already!
The Big Lebowski
A story about Lebowski, notorious slacker, who prefers to go by The Dude, and his carpet. He gets mistaken for another Lebowski and entangled in some haywire situations involving Nazis, nihilists, the porn industry, bowling, Jesus, drugs, Julianne Moore and more. Really didn't expect that one. We were laughing tears several times. o.O
16 Blocks
Bruce Willis is a tired cop who gets the day's final assignment just as he's about to go home: deliver a witness to court in the next two hours, just 16 blocks away. More suspense than action, which I liked. It stresses "do the right thing" and "people can change," but in a charming enough way so it's stomachable.

I really really enjoyed the movie this (second) time. Perhaps more than Pulp Fiction. :o
The Dreamers
NC-17. Uh-oh! It's captivating throughout with great tension because you can't really be sure what those crazy movie cracks will do or say next. Wouldn't want to see it again, though.
The Visitors
Christopher Walken! This must be the movie that South Park episode parodized: it's got the anal probes and everything. This is a really strange movie. Aliens visit, people get scared, etc. Wife insists he goes visit a shrink. Walken does just that. Then a self-help group, and he does that as well, which, I dunno, seems the logical thing to do but somehow you never get that in other movies (victims behave irrationally and make everything worse because of it). References to The Masks of God?? Weird, weird. I guess it's about the strangeness of the universe.
K-Pax
Kevin Spacey claims to be an alien from K-Pax and gets instantly transferred to Jeff Bridges' psych clinic. Beautiful.
I really really enjoyed the movie this (second) time. Perhaps more than Pulp Fiction. :o
I've heard so many Tarantino fans say that. Both movies have a great story...maybe because Jackie Brown didn't go the distance in violence like PF did....and/or because it's linear?

Golden Compass:
I can see why churches wanted this movie removed from theaters, but it was a pretty stupid reason. some backstory
Movie centers around an organization called the Magisterium *author of the book says its a repressentation of the catholic church going astray from its roots, but in the movie it represents all dogmatic orginizations* trying to control everything. Catholic groups demanded a boycott of the film, cause even though the movie dilutes some of the religious points it had in the book, they feared it promoted hate towards catholocism, and prmoted atheism among children.
Now, the movie is about a little girl, in an alternate reality, who is given a "Golden compass" or "Truth See'er", or whatever, it tells the truth. She goes on a mission to save some kid friends of her, rescue Lord Azreal from capture by the Magisterium, and to find out what "Dust" is *it connects all alternate realities, and the Magisterium go to great lengths to prevent anyone from proving it does, cause it would crumble the very beliefs they set in*. Movie is filled with excellent special effects, great little stories within, and fascinating 'mythos' or history to its own universe *i mean, come on, i want MY soul to be an animal outside my body, too". The ending is abrupt, so much so you think the movie is gonna continue when it doesnt. Hell, there is a talking Polar Bear who drinks whiskey. fucking watch it
score wise 4.5/5. not a 5 cause of the ending >=(

Bad acting, but good movie. its about telepaths, people with enhanced ESP. main plot centers around an evil telepath trying to find others to help him take over the worl, and about 1 individual who had no clue he was a telepath. has some nice twists, but acting of protagonist sucks, hard.

You didn't mind the microphones? It distracted from the plot. I actually missed whole chunks of dialogue because the microphones were so distracting. Plus the whole story of the semi-cheating and Marky Mark's stupid joke about the pharmacist were just so insanely cheesy. So was the old lady. It was so ridiculous that I was laughing instead of being creeped out as I should have been. I shouldn't laugh to the point of tears during a serious horror movie.

Wall-e was surprisingly much better than I expected - probably mainly because I didn't know what to expect ; not that I expected it to suck, but it's really good and well done. I actually watched it twice. Dark Knight : a few really cool scenes and obviously good Joker but WAY TOO DAMN LONG to me. Some scenes are just slow, some minor things here and there weren't really needed. They could've cut, like, half an hour off it. At least the other 2 hours were simply good. Kung Fu Panda was simply a big bag of fun, maybe a little overdone on some scenes but still very good. Hancock was good enough, well done, nothing extraordinary but fun enough.

Za ginipiggu 2: Chiniku no hana (aka Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood)
A old japanese movie. This movie is amazing and sickest at same time. A small resume: a man dressed as a samurai drugs a woman and proceeds to cut her, and in the end he eats the eyes of the woman. A gore movie, but also a great work of special effects.

Burn After Reading
Not comedy. More satirical. I expected it to be different. It's a different movie. I mean... oh well. I mean it has Brad Pitt and George Clooney but it's not that kind of movie, they're cast in unlikely roles (great: Brad Pitt as mindless fitness freak, Clooney as insecure womanizer), it has a definite John Malkovich touch. And it's not as good as No Country For Old Men, nor will it win a lot of Oscars. I really loved certain scenes like in the CIA HQ and wanted more of those, less of some of the other stuff.

A film about a guy who was in a car crash, lives, then befriends a crew of people who seem to get off on car crashes. Every other 10 minutes is either sex or some deep philosophical meaning relating car crashes and sex. Good movie.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Looks niiice. The bickering and everything with the German PhD rules. Great concept.
I wish it wouldn't have been about that stupid Golden Army, though. It's almost as if the movie is better when there's no fighting going on... a scene involving beer and love songs easily steals the film. I feel as if Hellboy has a lot more to say about being a mutant/monster than the three X-Men movies did.

Well look who's back.
I got to disagree about Hellboy II though.
Your right the fight scenes are Bad. The other thing is some of the characters are really overacted and understand that these people are suppose to overact but this time they went over the top.
What makes it a cool movie though, is the slow scenes of just cool visual imagery. I mean if this was a painting that was over a hundred years old then it would be priceless.
This movie reminds me of "The Cell" Worth seeing for the Visuals but everything else sucks.
Basically, its a 3 hour long art show that you will find yourself ready to nap in the middle of.

as a fan of the hellboy comics both movies were a major let down.
I'm not going to say they were terrible cause there were alot of aspects i really loved about the movies, especially the 2nd one.
while it's not the best acting in the world, the actors captured pretty everything that makes these characters. It's really as if they just pulled them off the page.
and it's got to be said. the visuals.
Guillermo Del Toro has got this thing for creature these fantastic worlds, and a big thumbs us for the work he does in puppetry. Pan's Labyrinth is definately His best work, but when it comes to the hellboy movies, it's like he focused all his attention on the world and not enough on the other parts.

Nosferatu Really nice for a black and white silent film. Lugosi is great, but Max Schreck looks scarier.
Check out Shadow of the Vampire (http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/m/shadow_of_the_vampire/) (not silent)---the reason Max Schreck was so good in Nosferatu was that he was a vampire!!!! D'oh!

Funnily enough, I saw that about two years ago, even before I watched Nosferatu. I immediately recognized it though.
Phantom of the Opera (1925 [I think]) Black and white silent film just like Nosferatu, but not menacing the least. I liked how Erik was an insane murderer instead of a hermit pianist.

owns every movie that ever existed, and I said that just because I can't find words to describe how magnificent it is, wait most awesome movies don't get to the level of this one the choice for the main actor was flawless, he has an interesting face along with very interesting expressions and behaviours/postures/gestures/dunno

Movie: The Incredible Hulk (2008)
This was a great action packed movie use some classic stuff from the 80's/80's in that his eyes turn green and it zooms in on that specific part of his face(before changing into hulk) also was cool to see lou ferrigno(the original 80's hulk) as a security guard lol.
i enjoyed this better than the first one a few years ago.
great animations and fight scenes. Some cool comedy coments too.

As crazy as the game, totally immoral, and may shock you little American puritans. I must say I LOL'ed seeing this movie, and it has quite some references to the game. A good watch if you've played the game or like immoral movies where kids die, babies get rolled over and where 9/11 is made fun of (of course, you have to take everything as sarcasm, but I know some people just can't do that).

Just came back from Burn after reading. Like the CIA guy says at the end, a clusterfuck. Slow to start, whacked up way of making the story move forward (everyone is completely crazy), but really funny at times (Brad Pitt trying to negotiate with John Malkovitch in the car...) Cool to see how Brad Pitt can play such a role really well (kiddo who tries to play big) compared to what he usually does. Acting was excellent most of the time with the three "big guys".
And John Malkovitch almost sounded like me with all his "moron !"s.

The funniest part in the movie(which i thought was funny and started laughing with my friends) was when he kills the cop, makes the kid cry then brings him back to life.. lol wtf.. He could of just easily knocked the cop out or stunned him lmao he electrocuted the cop back to life haha the cops reaction to being brought back to life was to funny. Now about the little kid.. man he was so fucking annoying.. i just want to kill him after watching the movie.

Still, if there's nothing remarkably better and you really want to hit the theaters, go watch it. It has special effects! The first hour you're sitting through it you actually enjoy it. Maybe since the moral of the story was something I had already understood that's why it didn't have an impact on me, but it might do something for you :P

The Spirit: As much as i love Frank Miller's comic work (Sin City, 300, etc.) he needs to stay the FUCK away from movies. The Spirit was complete garbage and it Instantly took a permanent seat with some of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.
Valkyrie: Not really a bad movie. Everyone (with the major exception of Tom Cruise) was great. But I couldn't get over Cruise's flat, horrible acting, So this was a just a case of a pretty good movie drop down a step or 2 thanks to Tom Cruise (here's looking at you, War of the Worlds)

"96 Hours" aka. "Taken" It was actually a very nice action movie, no more no less. Some story at the beginning (though I thought the dad was slightly too paranoid), and after that some nice old school action, and the moves of the protagonist to track down the bad guys are actually quite clever and believable, once you accept his idea of justice (basically, "RAMPAGE"). Either way I enjoyed it more than, for instance, quantum of solace.

it's just one of the lines in the movie saying that "after 96 hours, there's no hope finding her" after his daughter gets kidnapped. at first I was worried they'd make crappy references to that nonsense number all the time, but they didn't, the 96 hours actually made sense, and it all worked out quite well :)

just got back from watching crank 2. jesus christ, that movie really is krank o_O
it's just so over the top in so many aspects... best moment of the movie was when I had just said "god not that bitch again, please let her get run over by a car" to the guys I was with, and it totally happened three seconds later. sweet.
enjoyable in a wtf-action kinda way, but don't bring your girlfriend.

Isn't the plot of Crank 2 about Statham getting a mechanical heart and someone steals it or something? He fell from a damn helicopter and bounced off a car in the first one...I have no idea how they made a sequel but I loved the first one and plan on seeing the sequel ASAP.

The Inner Circle
A great movie about Stalin's influence on ordinary Russian citizens as seen through the eyes of the man who used Stalin's movie projector. It's an American movie filmed in the Soviet Union, which is amazing, eventhough the Soviet Union was already falling in 1990.
Dirty Shame
A comedy about sexual fetishes. Funny at some parts, preachy at others.
Hunt for the Red October
I like submarine movies and this was great. Nice music too.
The Devil's Rejects

Saw the L: Change The WorLd with a friend three days ago. How should I put this...
although it didn't completely suck, it defintely was not the best of the live-action death note movies. So much fanservice, candy, and a pink truck that said "Angel Crepe", not to mention the whole alphabet taken by people from whammy's house (supposedly).
Overall I give it a solid C. it was enjoyable at the least, but not worth 12$ to see in theaters
On a side note, I tortured myself that day by dressing up like L complete with mannerism, back issues, and obsession for sweets. --;

The electricity for X hours to power your computer, routing equipment, the people you share from, and the ISP's equipment to download the file. The waste produced by those processes. The jobs lost at your local movie theater, local gas station, and whatever is nearby those locations. The lower quality of movies in general due to being able to budget less to account for losses incurred through piracy. Increase in time and money spent uselessly trying to combat piracy due to shrinking profits. Blu Ray releases getting bullshit programming to make me aware that piracy is of my concern rather than resuming a stopped movie in the middle of it. The half mile less you didn't walk by staying in front of the computer.
It costs something, but since I have no $$ amount to attach to any of those (besides your electricity), I guess it really does cost 0.

Ice Age 3 : Beautiful realisation (3D view in cinemas is a nice thing too), and I laughed during the whole movie (and not just because of the squirrel, contrary to Ice Age 2). Very good watch.
Public Enemies : Very disappointing. The plot isn't so bad, but the movie is slow, Batman and Jack Sparrow Christian Bale and Johnny Depp, as much as I love them, are posers. The dynamic is bad, the way action scenes are filmed is boring as hell, the visual effects are sometimes really strange, etc. Not a bad movie, but I was expecting much better when seeing the cast.

I screamed at one scene, and after watching I was scaried to go out to the kitchen (I watched in in completely dar at midnight), then I was having problem with sleep.... It was first time when its happenned to me seriously.

*headdesk* I KNEW I was missing something awfully familiar. Anyway I liked it - much more than the previous two. Until then (first two I mean) it didn't quite make any impact with anything memorable, but this one was really well done.
HP6 sucked as usual. Removing half of the book with the important discussions, replaced it with teenage love, and I'm also saying this from the standpoint of those who never read the book and only watch the movie. It's plain and boring. Nothing happens, it's like it's nothing but still shots of sceneries. No action, no plot. At least 5 had a point with the dilemma thing.

Watched harry potter half blood prince, having seen none of the other movies.
Disapointing and weak, it had some humourous moments but it was mostly a movie/story without direction, the characters dropping through the cracks of the plot rapidly, it felt like watching something that was supposed to be about arcane but made toothless . "Hi im harry, the principal trusts me , but i wont tell him about my suspicions of Draco being in cahoots with the evil guys! that would be just silly, instead imma gonna use my invisible blanket to spy on him and get kicked in the face".
The snape "attack" was so scripted that not only you could see it coming as you could tell that hes gonna have a heel turn and show that he was actually following Dumbledore plan the whole time.

Crossing Over (Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd, Ray Liotta, Jim Sturgess)
Migration drama, 8 stories shallowly intertwined, "I dream of Greencard", life is like a box of chocolates "you never know what you're gonna get", completeley unnecessary nudity to justify R rating and avoid younglings from attending this serious drama. It's like Benjamin Button VS Forrest Gump, applied to This VS Crash.
On a side note, the spanish title PERSECUCION INMINENTE (Imminent Persecution) is horribly misleading, suggesting a dynamic film, when it's actually sluggish as hell. It felt very damn adult oriented, and not dramatice enough to make an impression.

REC I finally saw it, I heard good reviews all over the place so I had to check it out. It's 07:15 am now and I've just finished with it. I liked it, it's really well done and except for a few moments, you can actually buy the idea that 'it's all happening now in real time'. It also features a guy with argentinian accent (the fashioned black haired old man), which was a nice plus. On the other hand I'm disappointed. I was expecting it to scare the shit out of me, that's why I choose to watch it at 5 am alone in my room. Too bad it didn't happened. But all in all, it's a really good horror movie with an interesting plot. You should watch it, with a nice set of subtitles.

Reconstruction
I don't know if I'm not smart enough for scandinavic movies, but this movie was just like WTF...
Honestly I really tried to understand the story, in fact, I love movies who are like puzzles, but this was just too much. For whole movie I tried put events in somewhat chronologic order but I failed.... I just can't understand what's happened in this movie, why it happened and how... I'm really that dumb ? I watched tons of movies, which was hard to understand and I didn't have truble with them, so WTF ???? :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

I've been watching a lot of movies lately.
Pitch Black : Interesting scenario, but badly used. The film is too action-based and doesn't use the story very well. However, the movie was made with very little budget, so... 12/20
Chronicles of Riddick : Movies relating the story of Pitch Black, many years after. This time, it IS an action movie, where the hero is a real Dante in the middle of humans. It's quite fun, even if it's nothing special. 11/20
Wanted : Angelina Jolie is gorgeous and she appears nude. :P The story has some originality and can make laugh from time to time. The scenario has some surprises. However, the poor boy becoming a hero in 1 month is a bit cliché IMO. 12/20
Shaun of the Dead : A good comedy (semi horror) movie which is a parody of Romero's Zombie movies. Some quotes are hilarious, and the ideas are sometimes really nice and fun. Ed (the hero's friend) is so stupid though that it can sometimes make me sad. 13/20
Hott Fuzz : Same cast as Shaun of the Dead, the story of a brilliant cop sent to a village, where murders start to occur. The scenario may sound serious, but this movie is a comedy, and a brilliant one. 14/20
Tropical Thunder : Ben Stiller in a movie about Vietnam War. Or rather in a comic movie where he's turning a movie about Vietnam War. A nice little watch. 14/20
Yes Man : Jim Carrey doesn't use his face too much in this movie where extraordinary things happen to him after he decides to say YES to everything. The plot is well carried out, and the gags are cool. 13/20
The Emporor's New Groove : One of Disney's last 2D cartoons, telling the story of an Emperor transformed into a Llama. It's really well made and funny, as usual, I'd say. 14/20
Ratatouille : Cool, a Pixar in France ! 8) This story about a rat doing "French Cuisine" is original, funny and very well made. A master piece. 16/20
8 mile : I liked Eminem, but I really wondered if I could appreciate a whole movie around his childhood. Well, the movie is really well realized, without any cliché. The music is awesome and the actors play very well. 14/20
The Thing (Carpenter) : A classic where an expedition of scientists are blocked in Antartica with an extraterrestrial being who can take their appearance by absorbing thzm. 15/20

Bullshit, one shit degree in psychology does not make me licensed. I switched, by the way. (<---See that Walt not proper English, but is the way I talk.) Going for anthropology as a masters. I start at the end of the month. A real university too. Changed it because I don't feel like getting a PH'D just to take a test to get a licence. Also, my current degree wasn't from an APA accredited school so no government jobs for me. Plus I suck at research and being that masters are a lot harder to get, I don't think I should do that to myself.
That and I'm trying to move into the government sector, after experiencing the private sector's recent turn to dog shit, I want a little more security now that my girlfriend and I are talking about marriage and shit. That's right Shamrock might get married, un-fucking-believable.
So a masters in Anthropology should get me a good job in government, when I say good, I mean good paying ;D If I continued with psychology It would be many years down the road, before I could get any real money. I would have had to do the whole, "masters to doctors route". (<Again colorful not proper) I still might go that far in anthropology, but it would be after I get a job in government.
Back on my girl, she tricked me. She thought she was pregnant and we started talking about what we would do. This forced us to make plans. Turns out she was just really late and now the plans are still there. Tricky girl huh?
I can't wait to start classes. Thank you Obama and Webb For the new G.I. Bill. With this economy I could use the money. Perfect timing.

Watched: Mind game - Really good, even with the "strange" ending suggesting the time loop on everything and the shift in reality, the overall plot and characters were strong enough to make you care for them. Genius party Genius party Beyond- overall both genius parties were pretty good, there were some weaker ones like the one with the guy that keeps seeing his shadow. dead leaves- pretty darn good, art style was pretty awesome Cat soup - disliked it, plot wasnt cohesive at all, the scenarios were great but when you have random non sequiteur the whole time, the sense is lost.

I don't really post here when I watch a movie, but this time I have one thing to say about District 9 (which came out yesterday around here) : I felt like I was watching "Half-Life the movie", and I mean that in a good way. It's exactly like video games of that genre, except made as a movie - and very well done too. There's just the ending I wasn't too fond of,
Spoiler: end(click to see content)
it doesn't bring any sort of closure. It finishes the way it started, like some "this movie is based on a true story" documentary about a random suburban slum that just stays there, but it just doesn't finish. I did find funny when it was the human who went "I'll hold them, you go, just promise me you'll come back for me !"
That said, it's a little under two hours and I really didn't notice the time fly by. It's good.

was meant to be vauge like that. sorta leaving the audience in speculation about what the hell is gonna happen next. Is they gonna rescue the other aliens? are they going to attack earth? I heard the director was interested in doing a squeal.

Oh man, movie directors screw it again. The dialogue from the novel was completly butchered. The characters were a lot more charismatic in paper and the director didn't even try to keep them accurate to source. Also, where's the parrot ?

Observe and Report
The movie was actually funny in a dark way. Basically like a dark version of Paul blart mall cop. There was a couple of gross scenes. Seth Rogen and Anna Faris did a good job. I give it thumbs up.

If you're not a white american doing stand-up then it's your MO to take Fight Night jabs at other races to signify what makes your culture stand out, all the while point out the shortcomings of white people. Russell Peters has the same "you ever know how white people do this and <my people> do this" setups like every other non-white comedian but thankfully it doesn't oversaturate his routine. Most of his material is pretty original, cut-throat even. Check him out.

(http://phillyist.com/attachments/philly_jill/tropic_thunder_ver4.jpg) clearly one of the worst movies with Jack Black. so if youre Black's fan do not watch it (i am) Humor in the movie is shocking and will most likely get worst criticism from older audience. It has politics involved which was unexpected from Ben Stiller (also a director of this movie) Although it has lots of famous actors in it and some funny moments - movie was a letdown. Ben Stiller shouldn't be a director EVER. If Adam Sandler was i director movie would be great and funny just like it was in "Zohan"

(http://blog.hotelesmonte.com/watermark.php?image=wp-content/uploads/2006/10/crank.jpg) well...im sure most of you had already watched this. heres my thoughts on the movie The most dirtiest hero i ever seen on tv by far!!!! And i mean it.....Especially sex infront of schoolgirls scene. The guy just committed every possible sin to stay alive but whats more important he made viewer to like it. There are many things i still dont get...like why his most reliable friend is a crossdresser, why chinese mafia helped him in the end and many other things. The atmosphere reminded me of "Run Lola Run' and "District 13" A very good movie but id recommend it to viewers 20 and up, just because all this mafia/gangsta is already polluting every kid's brain.

just watched it completely messed up script that made my mind wonder who's storyline it is untill near the end of movie. Subtitles where in the movie but stoped at the middle "Bear Jew" was smaller than i expected and had only one short scene which sucked ass Movie was historically incorrect but i think it was one of those "what if" storylines.
The only character i like in the movie was a bad guy - Nazi Detective, becase he had more charisma than anyone in the movie. Even Brad Pitt comparing to him showed a low acting skill.

(http://wiki.crunchyroll.com/images/d/df/NightmareDetective.jpg) Nightmare Detective even tho ppl gave bad criticism to this movie i kinda liked it. Storyline is quiet simple. Police were investigating series of obscure suicide scenes .When one of the detectives became confident that it is in fact murder. In order to find killer detective needs a help...from a dream reader - a person who can visit your dreams...find out the rest by watching it. 2 out of 5 (http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/ponycanyon/cabinet/pcbg000050463.jpg) Tales of Unusual This movie is great. It takes you to the different storylines with absolutely different genres - from horror to drama . This movie is about a storyteller who is stuck with some curios people at the bus station during a blizzard. Being curios people start to ask him for stories. Like i said i really liked this movie and do recommend to watch it 4 out of 5 and wish there were more parts

The first movie was a bit scarier, albeit not as well made. They fixed the errors of the first one, like the nonsensically high volume and the jammed sound due to the screaming. Some parts were scary in a good way, but in general it felt kinda weak.

But to see him acting that foolish alone makes it worth watching the movie. I really liked it...the whole "teenager goof" humor style fits in very well. One thing i didnt like is older girl . I mean the world is basicly facing Apocalypse and she has make up on worth about 1000$. Im not sure whats that all about but i assume she looks very ugly without it. Even though movie is hillarious there are some serious moments that you start to realize while watching further. I recommend watching it - it's a great .

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan.
First off, if you didn't watched WHOLE show, you watching it already or you want to start watching, DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!! There are plenty of spoilers there (for people who didn't see all 4 seasons) + this movie was made for fans and people from outside won't be able to understand it, even after re-watching it 10 times
Second. title is so wrong, because Movie didn't show any plan, atleast not plan we wouldn't know already about. Still it explain some stuff and it give us opportunity to look deeper at Cylons. We can clearly see similarity in cylons to humans, and how emotions ruined whole plan that Calvil had. We can better understand why Cylons hated people so much. Of course everybody knew it why after watching whole show but still it's nice to see explanation on screen, even if we know it already. Nice they focused at different characters than in the show, because we can understand their motives better.
Both Calvils were great (technically whole movie was about them), we can see more stuff about Model 4 and Sam Anders. And I finally we can see proper destruction of the Colonies. I always thought it was too short and less dramatic in miniseries, than it should be.
Summary, if you expect revolution or unknown side of whole story, you will be disapointed. It's more like suplement, it serve to see some stuff better and more clearly if you didn't figured out already by watching whole show. Still I like it very much.
8/10

I never saw the trailer ???
I was with my friends at some videogame event, the final part of the schedule was some stupid concert that took a long time to setup. We got bored and left. We still had time to spare so we went to the midnight screening. I was pretty tired and slep thrugh the firs 10 minutes of the movie and the, during 10 minutes of the middle of the movie or so, from what my friends told me I didn't miss much.

The outline of the plot is very basic, afterall. What shocked me the most was how it really felt like I was watching "Half-Life : the Movie", it's really like a FPS. The story just has a couple off small twists near the end, but other than that, yeah, if you don't like FPS, BFGs and constant gunning, of course it can look boring.

This is one of the stories I hated as a child. Every single channel aired 5 different version of the same stuff weeks after christmas. But I actually enjoyed the movie. The 3d effects are neat, you could almost feel the snow landing in your hands. Also, Jim Carrey makes a good job filling half of the characters in the movie.

Ghost in the Shell Pretty damn good, since it had a lot of technological stuff and a lot of guns. That's what animes need more of. It was hard to follow what was going on at some points though, and some things going on weren't really all that clear. I will admit though, the ending confused the hell out of me.

i encountered 4 Ghost in the Shell movies.And clearly remember only 3 . If you indeed liked that amazing artwork than "Stand Alone Complex" (or was it "S.A.C"?) with it's 3D effects and cutscenes will disappoint you. Puppet Monster is not "evil" - he is just another living form that happens to be in the way of Government.The whole point of this genre - is to question our existence and think outside of the box. Major Motoko Kusanagi is not a human, yet she is trying to figure out what humanity is and takes us with her into that search for truth. That movie is truly a masterpiece for me [along with Hayao Miyazaki's works], i would reccomend to watch it more than once [thats what ive been doing lately hehe] Motoko survived , thanks to Batou who got her another body at the end of the movie. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3562/3339062615_52ef0e7c49.jpg) oh boy where do i start on this one..... First movie was..meh..I guess its interesting to see new ideas and alternative story to a vampire race. But hold on...Is "New Moon" even a vampire movie?....did i see anything...interesting there at all ??? Not to be rude but i hate every freaking character in that movie..Well Edward does fit into a role of a vampire....but i think he made a terrible mistake by being in this movie..... So let me be short aboput the plot...Edward needed some time alone, Bella couldnt wait [ i guess she was in the heat ;) ], and decided to go out with a werewolf , who through the whole movie demonstrated his ripped body [im serious you gonna see his chest alot],so after fooling around Edward gets all suicidal and that emotionally abuses Bella who is being stupid enough not to just go back but to marry him. ...So...does this sound like a vampire to you...? NO [dot] P.S. But they did sell a whole bunch of merchandise for teenagers

Spirited Away My, this was hard to get into. It's a 2 hour long "coming of age" anime with a little girl cooperating with a divine Shinto bathouse to save her parents who morphed into pigs. It's really bizarre unless you're familiar with Japanese stuff. It was also too happy in my opinion, and was a borderline "chick flick". It lacked a Tanooki though :<

The whole bath house ideal is a japanese culture thing, the movie was pouring japanese folklore culture everywhere, the gods were everywhere, they werent european fairies or myths from other civilizations, it was the japanese folklore world the girl sunk into. Its a bit silly to say that there is nothing japanese on a movie about a girl working a bath house serving folklore japanese gods , mountains , rivers and goblins.

But that's, like, two things ("she works in a bathhouse" and "there are gods everywhere"), that definitely did not prevent anyone from understanding the story and I can't see what's bizarre in it. Also again, the whole thing with gods is not specifically Japanese. And to begin with, the witch thing is definitely not Japanese, and that was quite more important than everything else. Other than that, it's an "Alice in Wonderland" copy-paste (magical creatures with weird abilities everywhere), last I checked that wasn't Japanese.

If you get the chance to watch this in 3D then go, but PURELY for the 3D (and don't spend £9.20 for the 3D coz you'll feel ripped off!). The storyline is terrible, it takes about 7 hours until you actually get anywhere in the film. Very cliched and quite pretentious, should have taken a page out of Team America's book and made a montage which they could have easily cut down an hour of the film.
I went over 2 lines reviewing but the movie is just that terrible, I don't wanna spoil the "story" for anyone who does plan to watch it but I'd say only go if you wanna see 3D, there are no other 3D options, and the 3D movie costs less then £5.

I just saw I am legend, what the heck, that ending made no sense.
After seeing the alternate ending ( on youtubes) it made slightly more sense, but after checking the wiki articles on the book im lead to believe that hollywood needs to neuter everything it touches. He was supposed to be a legend alright, what the heck was that shite with the city of survivors?! The dude is the vampire of vampires!
well that movie was a master piece... if you didnt notice it wasnt ANY ACTORS IN THAT MOVIE! the whole movie was basically one guy and a dog... and half the movie was him talking to himself... but yet the movie was amazing! you gotta give the movie its props
I like "Omaga man" a lil better...........But I am legend was not bad at all.
"Repo the Genitic Opera"
-enjoyed the music. -I am def sorry I waited so long to watch it lol

Identity seems to be a movie at least a few years old, dunno when it's from. A bunch of guys trapped together, one of them is a killer and is killing the others one by one. The twist : they're actually all personnalities of one same guy, and some cops are trying to figure which of his personnalities made him commit murders. It comes out as a pretty stupid/lame/lousy thriller, but the idea is amusing.

From what I recall reading, the vampires in the novel were intelligent creatures... far from the mummy/zombie-like brute rendition from the movie. I don't know why the heck they changed the ending, the novel's bitter ending is what actually defines the title of the book (Right before being executed by the vampires, the doctor gives a pretty cool monologue about how he's a relic from the past, a legend...)
at least Daybreakers looked like it was a step back onto the path. I say looked cause I haven't seen the movie.

I haven't read the comic yet so I don't know how accurate it is, but it was a good action movie because action is almost the only thing it had. Not a bad thing because the fight scenes were nicely choreographed.

However it somewhat made sense, since one of the terrorist's codenames was "Falcon"

The Men Who Stare At Goats
Feels like an odd cross between a Tarantino and Coen brothers movie - the individual scenes and dialogues are often fun and charming, but sometimes the overall plot seems to lack direction or sense, as if the parts of the movie were somehow more important than the whole of it. Despite that, I certainly recommend this one.

It had potential, but there was extremely stupid parts that ruined the whole movie...
1. Why didn't they have passwords for the Surrogates?
2. How could the crime rate fall so far down? I imagine it would make it worse because of the increase of Gangs and always wanting to get a better surrogate.
3. N/A
Couldnt think of anymore, its been months since I've seen it.
When In Rome Ok concept but bad plot. Didn't like tha main character.
Street Fighter Alpha Great animations, meh voice acting, huge dissapointing fights, Evil Ryu did little to nothing.

You guys want to take a wild guess which last two movies I watched. Well.
Movie #1:
What are you all looking at.
You all a bunch of assholes. You know why? Because you don't have the guts to be what you want to be. You need people like me... You need people like me, so you can't point your fucking fingers and say that's the bad guy.
You think you're good. You aren't good. You just know how to hide, how to lie.
Me, I don't have that problem. I always tell the truth, even when I lie...
SO SAY GOOD NIGHT TO THE BAD GUY, COME ON!!! BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE YOU WILL EVER SEE A BAD GUY LIKE THIS, LET ME TELL YOU!
Move out of the way, there's a bad guy coming through.
Gran Torino (2008) - pretty good, didnt end how I expected. Kinda reminds me of my grandfather lol
Best Eastwood movie. Even his Dirty Harry movies. I am sorry, I love old movies. Man, even when Harry would blow some motherfucker's brains out with his 44 magnum.

Alice In Wonderland: Okay I was expecting a lot more from this. I was expecting a deep and complex story with a plot twist, the human element (Alice) is unrealistic. I mean how would you fell when you basically feel a mile down and just landed? Would you A) Get right back up and open doors? Or B) Freak the fuck out?
It was also (Geese Howard) "TOO PREDICTOBOWL!"

Saw Alice in Wonderland also.
Thought it was great, and I'll end up buying it. For being a sequel to the original I thought it was very well done. The visuals were wonderful and they gave a lot more likable personalities to the original cast. Danny Elfman's score for the film was rather good as well. The Burton/Depp/Elfman team blew me away once again. And shit, I'm going to go see it again this next Friday. In IMAX 3D again, naturally.

Sorry, there was some parts that got me excited and the whole time I was thinking what should happened other than this is going to happen.
Johny Depp, the Cat, and the Visual is what saved the film. They did a bad job developing the connections with the character. It looked like they tried but I didn't feel connected. But what really ticks me off the most is when people say "Its good as Avatar!"
BS, I came and watched Alice In Wonderland with as much expectations as I did with Avatar.
Mediocre story Colorful Visuals Lack of human element Too predictable Good Acting Uninteresting devlopment
Im starting to think that people focused way to much on the Mad Hatter than everything else which thus made them think its a great movie. Infact, the Mad Hatter is more like Weird Hatter cause there's like hardly if not none... Madness.
I mean hell, I could retell the whole story in 2min where others I would have a hell of a hard time.
I apologize if you take this as a bashing review, I just want to point out the flaws where people wouldn't even think or noticed. Like I said, they paid too much attention to Johnny Depp. And I think I even found a plothole...
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
There was a scene where in Mad Hatter's flashback, the dragon comes and burns the village. If you watch closely where the knight was destroyed, he was holding his shield up against it. Now fastforward to where Alice gives the Vorpal Sword the the White Queen. The Queen said "Now the sword is back to it's place.". Fastforward again where Alice is fighting the Dragon. The Dragon shoot's its flames at Alice and she just simply blocks it like its nothing even though she is using the same armor as the knight before in Hatter's flashback...
And there was no explaination of how the Red Queen even got the Dragon or even control it from the most part.
In the end of the movie, where the Red Queen and a Prince is handcuffed and is sent to some sort've place. He tried to kill her so he wouldn't put up with her and he got his dagger taken away. So as they went away, he was screaming "Please kill me!" So then I said to myself, "You can still kill her, just without a blade and even free yourself from her." but oh well!
Enough of my rant, now I gotta watch a movie that will satisfy me story wise... Hmmm Gran Torino maybe? Or perhaps the new Justice Leauge movie I should check out?
I mean how would you fell when you basically feel a mile down and just landed? Would you A) Get right back up and open doors? Or B) Freak the fuck out?
You're forgetting that she'd already been there before. :P She was reenacting her actions from her "dream".
I knew someone would use that! And in my defense, I would say... "If she rememberd then why did she have a hard time solving the door room?" Or maybe she has no memory of this place at all? Even though she said she had a dream about it before. Don't use the "I'll pinch and you'll dissapear." cause she would've done that regardless if its wonderland or not.
Thought it was great, and I'll end up buying it. For being a sequel to the original I thought it was very well done. The visuals were wonderful and they gave a lot more likable personalities to the original cast. Danny Elfman's score for the film was rather good as well. The Burton/Depp/Elfman team blew me away once again. And shit, I'm going to go see it again this next Friday. In IMAX 3D again, naturally.
1.) I liked the original better 2.) IMAX or any 3D theater = high ratings now of days...
Im more of a story driven guy than visuals.

Cloud is super emo. I liked seeing the rest of the cast and the fight scenes were good. The storyline had me confused.
it is about pretty boys with mother complex, kinda irritating hearing the bad guys saying "ma-ma" "ma-ma" (ok in japan but still) every now and then,
I watched it only for Tifa

Alice in Wonderland
I thought it was pretty good, not great but definitely worth the watch if you are at all interested. I could see the flaw that people keep bringing up, but it didn't bother me as much.
It was sort of like, I didn't mind the film flaws as much because I was really invested in this fantasy world the movie made. It might've not been the best film, but was incredibly enjoyable.

I just watched Alice In Wonderland too =D
But I didn't really care too much for it either. It seemed too "normal". Like they could have slapped almost any fantasy title on the movie. I didn't find the Mad Hatter very mad at all. The visuals were EXCELLENT for sure. But the storyline was way too typical for a crazy place like Wonderland IMO
It was also the 1st film I've seen in the new 3d hype era. I found out I cannot see the 3d since I do not have binocular vision (I suspected as much going in). So I spent more $$$ to see a movie I had to wear glasses to watch like a normal movie so it wouldn't be blurry =(
On a side note... I meant to say this long ago when I 1st watched ZOMBIELAND. But that movie may very well be the best movie ever XD

Maybe not the best but certainly very good. While watching it, i contemplated on the idea of how there should be a zombie tv series. I think it would work cause I always feel that these movies aren't long enough and a lot of basic "humanness" could be explored. The funny thing is, while watching the supplementary DVD material, the writers commented on how Zombieland was originally written as a TV series and the pilot ended when...
Spoiler: for those who saw it(click to see content)
the girls first stole Tallahassee's truck.
I also laughed my balls off at the inclusion of...

Bill Murray. He could have been in it a little longer, or at least turned into a real zombie after being shot, but nonetheless he was funny as shit.

Apocalypse Now Actually a pretty good war movie, with some pretty memorable lines "CHARLIE DON'T SURF" and things like that, but they could've easily chopped a good 10-15 minutes off the end scenes and it would definitely be better. I thought it went on for too long there.

Avatar Really epic. The entire movie had me craving more and more, really fun and enjoyable experience!
Public Enemies Tried watching it... got about 30-40 minutes in before I stopped and moved on. Really boring and uninteresting.
Princess and the Frog I LOVE DISNEY MOVIES!!! This one is great. Music, voice acting and characters are all amazing. Jokes are corny (as usual), but they're fun, and you can't help but laugh! I loved it.
Also watched Rush Hour 3 again; I love Tucker x Chan, they're the best.

Read the book (Heart of Darkness). It's well worth it.
I'm watching "Marine" with John Cena. It's either a very quirky comedy or a cheesy (I'm craving crackers!) action thriller. Either way, it's got some very amusing moments and some totaly unbelievable exploding cars.

The Fourth Kind (2009)
Heard it was a real story with real footage from coworker, so decided to watch it. Liked it thinking that it was documented footage. Then googled it to see if it was real and its a complete fraud. That being said, it ruined it for me.
Daybreakers (2009)
Ok movie, seemed that the story was a bit stale though. Nothing really stands out in this movie.
Hide and Seek (2005)
Despite what reviews state, I liked this movie (was better than the other two). Good story with a great twist.

Talking about the 2nd movie of the series right ? Pure action movie, and a good one. People tend to forget that James Cameron is not only Titanic (and now Avatar), but he's also Aliens. I still have a preference for the 1st and 4th ones though.
Watched Death Note and Death Note 2. Not bad adaptations of the manga. L is played quite well. Kira doesn't have enough of that evil smile, but the story is okay. I didn't like that they changed the end though.

His last main role before BD was in Undisputed 2 which came out on Direct to DVD, just like Black Dynamite. That guy needs way more exposure.

Slumdog Millionaire.
Great movie that I watch everytime it comes on.

Had a bad movie night not to long ago!
The Ring 2-Seriously. How much creepier can the little bastard in the movie get? Not nearly as many jump scares as I thought there'd be, which would be a good thing, but seeing as how they decide to put nothing in place of the jump scares, I think I'd prefer the zombie dakota fanning jumping at me.
Fireproof-The atheist in me would've been hell bent on a mission to destroy this movie, but the rational person in me couldn't stop laughing at how stupid this movie got.
The Pit-This movie managed to creep me out actually, not by the trolls that lived in a pit in the woods that'd be people, but by the perverted autistic kid who took pictures of his school teacher, after tricking her into taking off her clothes by posing as a kidnapper.
ya, weird movie.
Marley's Revenge-a locally made B-Movie featuring a friend of a friend of mine who's slowly creeping his way up the awesome scale. Also the entire movie was dubbed over, going from poorly recorded english to poorly dubbed english.

if he's being lured & drugged -he came with a boat (from outside the island) -he didn't have his own cigarette and take the offer from his new partner, take those pills -one of the female patience during the interview, told him to run (write on his note) -dolores character hiding in the cave is pretty realistic -the vision of his wife throughout the story is slowly altered from die because of the smoke (as he stated), then burned to charcoal, then drenched with water, then accompanied with a little girl (as if its being altered into dolores portrayal) -and how he said at the end about which one better living as monster or die as a goodman, showing that he remembers the previous event and the story told to him about people being altered to be used as cold war assassin, which doesn't match with the theory of he is replaying the same delusional role over and over again (which means forgetting his past role everytime) -and seems like something maybe a knive or something else concealed with towel held by the guard
if he is delusional -already has issue with war trauma -some scenes that is over comical like how the door of the house at the cemetary open by itself when the warden came, and the paper blown by the wind to the rock next to him -how the dolores character escaped the room was highly/ nearly impossible -names anagram which is very convincing

I noticed Pootie Tang was up on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/), so I decided to watch it again. I found it every bit as hilarious and bizarre as I remembered. It full of surreal scenes and non sequiturs, like the fact that the entire movie is apparently an extremely long clip of biopic on Pootie Tang called Sine Your Pitty On The Runny Kine. Or this line: "only the third time a man had been mauled by a gorilla at that steel mill", referring to how Pootie's father was killed. A great movie, you should check it out if you haven't seen it.

-The movie is only 72 minutes, which barely makes it a feature length movie. -It uses the same goddamn font in the title as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen did -Every single review I've heard has been massively negative, the best of which said "at least it's a smelly pile of shit, just a odorless one." -The goddamn gatling guns mount on the goddamn horse.

Watched Religulous, it sucked , it was mostly "look at this stupid thing!!" without any point to make other than "we are picking our leaders when they believe in those things" and then failed to follow with anything, just a bunch of interviews that would make an european cringe.
funny how in your first paragraph the things you mention as a downside are either 1. what you usually do b) what one would assume is something you'd enjoy, given your thread-starting habits :P

im not making a movie of a hour and a half of "lol look at this" . To go around america interviewing the religious nutcases and then instead of explaining why what is going on is dangerous, simply go to the next nutcase and repeat shows that he had no purpose at all , he dodges all the hard bits of it by focusing on that instead of presenting a thesis, thus as a movie it ultimately fails, its more like a long article of varieties.
The most interesting bits are when he is interviewing a vatican priest, and the priest is way more cynic than he is. His "conclusion" by the end of the movie is something you would just say "yes, annnd...?"

Karate Kid (the remake)
Ignoring the fact that they're in China and not doing Karate at all, and the fact that the kids are way too young to be driven by the hormones that were in the original, watching Jackie Chan beat up a bunch of schoolkids is always a plus in my book.
Also the Chinese Dirty Harry remix was awesome.

I'm going to have to partially disagree. I think what Mahr was attempting to get across was that these nutcases make no sense, and the movie is sort forcing it's audience to ask why they're crazy with the answer being religon. However, I'll say that makes for a good discussion, not a good movie.
The ending was a huge "fuck you" though. I'm still trying to figure out why a generally funny movie had to end on such a downer.

He's done better just talking on his show on HBO, when it comes to anti-religious ideas or thoughts.
Iced, go rent all the episodes of Jon Sanfan Vs. God.
Unlike Bill's crapfest, he explores all regions not just Christianity. Because lets face it, they are all kind weird just like cultures are weird.
He actually tries to experiences the religions as opposed to just bitching about them Like Bill.

Fist of the North Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fist_of_the_North_Star_(1995_film))
A silly attempt to adapt Hokuto No Ken as a life action movie. It falls in the realm of so bad it's good. Cheesy and silly acting, some good and many bad SFX, toned down violence, butchered plot and a clear 80's B movie feel. What's not to love about it?
Also, Gary Daniels and Costas Mandylor... *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* Such muscles, such beautiful bodies... if anything, ogling those two made the movie worth it.

Preamble before the review: My twelve year old sister wanted to see it, so I was called to be her chaperone for her and her friends since they wanted to go to the 10 PM viewing. Also keep in mind that I only saw the first in the series with Rifftrax, and the second I saw the first 10 minutes of before getting kicked out of the room for laughing at all the serious parts.
Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Under normal circumstances, Jacob is clearly the better of the two boys for Bella to be with, so I guess Stephanie Meyer had to make him be an asshole and mouthrape Bella in this one, and also give him creepy lines that would put most conventional stalkers to shame (yes even more than Edward's). I unfortunately giggled a little in the scene following said mouthrape when Jacob tried to explain the situation to her father, and it came out as "I kissed Bella, and she punched me in the face and broke her hand" (those are the actual lines).
Spoiler: Protip(click to see content)
If you're ever forced to see it, there's one scene where Bella visits the mom and one of the mom's lines is "The way you two mirror each other's movements is like magnets!" When this happens, there's a very long gap which gives you ample time to shout "FUCKING MAGNETS! HOW DO THEY WORK?"
Also you can bitch about how the Volturi's (or however you spell it) outfits look like Organization XIII's

He tricks the computer into letting him leave and finds his own body on the crash inside the lunar rover.

Breaking Dawn is split into two separate parts. The first part details Bella's marriage and honeymoon with Edward, which they spend on a private island off the coast of Brazil. Two weeks into their honeymoon, Bella realizes that she is pregnant with Edward Cullen's semi-vampire child. and that her condition is progressing at an unnaturally accelerated rate. After contacting Carlisle, who confirms her pregnancy, she and Edward immediately return home to Forks, Washington. Edward, concerned for Bella's life and convinced that the fetus is a monster as it continues to develop with unnatural rapidity, urges her to have an abortion. However, Bella feels a connection with the child and refuses.
The novel's second part is written from the perspective of werewolf Jacob Black, and lasts throughout Bella's pregnancy and childbirth. Jacob's Quileute wolf pack, not knowing what danger the unborn child may pose, plan to destroy it, also killing Bella. Jacob vehemently protests this decision and leaves, forming his own pack with Leah and Seth Clearwater. Bella soon gives birth, but the baby breaks many of her bones and she loses massive amounts of blood. In order to save her life, Edward changes her into a vampire by injecting his venom into her heart. Jacob, who was present for the birth, almost immediately "imprints"—an involuntary response in which a shape-shifter finds his soul mate—on Edward and Bella's newborn daughter, Renesmee.
The third section of Breaking Dawn shifts back to Bella's perspective, finding her changed into a vampire and enjoying her new life and abilities. However, the vampire Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an "immortal child", a child who has been turned into a vampire. Because "immortal children" are uncontrollable, creating them has been outlawed by the Volturi. After Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy Renesmee and the Cullens. In an attempt to survive, the Cullens gather other vampire clans from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Upon confronting the gathered Cullen allies and witnesses, the Volturi discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to vampires' secret existence. At that time, Alice and Jasper, who had left prior to the confrontation, return with a Mapuche called Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed like Renesmee. He demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat, and the Volturi surrender. Edward, Bella and Renesmee return to their home in peace.

That my fine sir, is a summary of Twilight Breaking Dawn.
Are they going to put a scene where Bella is covered in brusies after having sex with a dead body (Edward) who could not possibly have gotten her pregnant. Are they showing when they have to crack open her stomach and the freaky vampire baby comes out? What about when they go to their cabin in the woods and have sex so hard they almost break the cabin down while their family is a couple miles away?
Imagination is good. Creating flawless characters with a bland plot and zero chemistry between the main 'lovers' is bad.
Quote
Twilight, both the books and the movies, come from the mind of the same woman, Miss Stephenie Meyer, who seems to have created a fantasy land in her 'saga' that she, along with most teenage girls and old ladies, wish for their own life to be. Perfect characters. Perfect endings. Perfect, perfect, perfect. And it's bores me to tears.
Bella Swan, as a character, is the epitome for a Mary-Sue (look it up), having NO flaws, NO imperfections, none except that she apparently sees in her own eyes, which just shows that she's just as humble as she is flawless. -barfs- Think about it: she sees herself as this completely imperfect being with a wonderful, beautiful life, while everyone around her finds her to be beautiful and wonderful in contrast. The only 'flaws' Ms. Meyer portrays Bella to have are being 'stubborn' and 'adorably clumsy'. Really? THOSE are flaws?
Then again, (I hate to bring an old arguement into play, but I fear I must), an even more successful series of books and movies is Harry Potter, written by J.K. Rowling. Oh, those books. Such a complex yet understandable storyline, not to mention a wonderfully constructed plot. Disagree if you must, but I can't find a single 'perfect' main character in those books. And I love it. Character flaws - FLAWS, Ms. Meyer. Learn the word. - are what make a story interesting, as well as more believable.
To those of you that say that Stephenie Meyer has created a 'new' batch of vampires, and 'strays away from the old and into the new'? 'Disregards cliches and isn't afraid to be original'? Original? Are you kidding me? This woman has made vampires (if you can still call them such) that have virtually NO imperfections. NO weaknesses. They're incomprehendably beautiful, stronger than the most muscled weight-lifter, faster than any animal, and yet the most graceful thing alive (or dead). I find it utterly ridiculous how perfectly everything turns out for everyone in the book.
Happy endings? Sure, I'm not against that. But I'm also not against a little FEELING while I'm reading. I want to feel the fear when they're cornered by their enemies; I want to tear up when the love of her life leaves, instead of cheering and screaming for Bella to hurry up and kill herself. I want to cheer when everything turns out all right.
Instead, it's all just a bland monotone. Line by line, page by page. It was an absolute STRUGGLE to finish each book. Whining and fawning over perfection, self-pity and the feeling of worthlessness. I didn't feel any of it. It was 'blah blah blah blah blah'. It took me four months to finish Breaking Dawn. Not because of the length - it took me three days to read the last Harry Potter book - but because I didn't WANT to read it. If you write a book, people have to actually have the DESIRE to READ, not just to pretend that they're Bella and everything in their life is perfect. With other books - LONGER books - I read them faster because I couldn't put them down. With Twilight, I couldn't pick them up. Call me tasteless, but I could care less for anything having to do with the franchise.

Batman: Under the Red Hood
I'd say it's the best of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. Nice action scenes and plot, but I didn't really like DiMaggio's Joker. Black Mask was excellent though, but not as serious as he's supposed to be.

Persepolis Indie movie from the bio-graphic novel of the same name. Really good movie, and actually funny at times. Rare to see indie movies that are actually funny.
Just finished it, so very nice.
It explores the revolutions of iran , by the eyes of a young girl that sees her country plummet into oppression.

Akira Overrated. Undeserving of the praise it has garnered.
Princess Mononoke Wow. I thought it would be another Spirited Away (terribly annoying), but it was actually very entertaining. Full of surprises, big and small.

If that's an accurate summary, then this movie shouldn't be regarded as educational (your post seems to suggest something along those lines). I just watched the trailer, and from the looks of it, it looks like it would have shaped up to be a very unfair commentary on Iranian history, full of purposeful historical suppressions that leave the viewers uninformed/misinformed while convincing them that they've 'become' just the opposite.

Akira Overrated. Undeserving of the paise t has garnered.
Praise comes from groundbreaking animation techniques, I don't care if you didn't get it or liked it, it still kicks ass
If animation alone was enough to make something great, then I'd proudly say that I think differently. When a movie's story, writing, character development, etc. are trash, I think that that should show somewhere in a reviewer's critique.
Its a biography. the life of the author. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PXHeKuBzPY Biographies leave you knowing how the persons living those things felt.
It seems to be a biography that gives its own subliminal commentary on historic events. As such, it shapes opinions.
My criticism was harsh, but a documentary like this, which surrounds such a hot topic, and yet seems takes place after 1953 (a pivotal time in Iranian history) plus the run up to it, deserves said criticism. I'm interested. Tell me honestly, how did you feel about the Iranian government after watching the film? And, as the trailer suggests, did the film start with the overthrow of the Shah?
Sorry, if I'm leading you into a larger discussion.

like Iced said, it's a biography. If you're judging from the trailer alone, you aren't getting a very accurate depiction of the movie. I just watched the trailer, and it focuses on the surroundings of Marjane Satrapi (the author of the graphic novel) while the actual movie touches very little on the political aspects of it. You know just as much about the situation as Marjane does. When she's a little girl who doesn't know what exactly is going on, neither does the audience. You said that it gives a "subliminal commentary" on the political climate, and ,Obviously, you do get a sense of the political climate that she lived in, enough so that you can form an opinion based on feelings as opposed to facts, but it's clearly not the intent of the movie. It's Satrapi's life, which just so happens to have a backdrop of the Islamic Revolution for a portion of it.

I just finished that one myself. Except I got the wrong version... French with SPANISH subtitles, so had to stop everytime I saw an unfamilar spanish word which was at least every 5 minutes. I LOVED grandmother at least. And I may have been more entertained had I not needed to focus so intently on translating.
Also watched Kung Fu Panda. That one was cute, but not suitable for my niece and nephew yet.

Thanks. The very reason for why I mentioned that all I had watched was the trailer, was to point out that the impression I might have gotten from it "could have" been inaccurate. I also went out of my way to use the word "seems" before presenting my opinions of the trailer, for that same purpose, but your response seems to ignore that.

I'll watch it as soon as I can. Thus far, my opinion of the film has come only from the trailer, but I'm also reacting to this:
It explores the revolutions of iran , by the eyes of a young girl that sees her country plummet into oppression.
Knowing you as a very, very knowledgeable guy, I believe that the only thing this sentence suffers from bad structure. Too often do I hear uninformed people (persons) say things to the effect of, 'The Iranian regime became dictatorial and oppressive after they toppled their formerly stable, Western-backed government.' Your sentence seems to echo that. For you to have said, the young girl saw, "her country plummet into oppression" (based on its construction; possibly not your intention) given the time frame I just asked you about, ignores the fact that the Shah was a murderous money hoarder, and the fact that it could easily be argued that before his installation, and before the U.S. coup d'état against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, that the country had already achieved its greatest level of stability (or was on the threshold of achieving it). Some might even say that the current regime has produced and run a more stable Iran (for most of the time it had been in power) than the hated Shah ever did.

Everything of that was presented on the movie, the older relatives of the girl are political prisioners of the Shah. Just because they entered oppression doesnt mean that the guys before them were "good".
different kinds of oppression.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: hjk on July 19, 2010, 01:37:55 am
Excuse me. I have to retract that on a few levels. I don't mean to completely withdraw it, but I reread some of this thread and just remembered and realized where/why my interpretation of your words went awry. One of my reasons for asking whether or not the movie took place directly after the Shah's fall, was because I wanted to make sure context in which I meant to post my reply/clarification was appropriate; I wanted to make sure that I was historically clear on how you were using the term "Revolutions." I won't say this definitely, because my question, itself, could have been more direct, but if in fact you are speaking of Iranian "Revolutions" taking place after the Shah's fall, the only one I am aware of is the one that deposed the Shah, which can be considered multiple revolutions in and of itself (if there are more that I am not aware of, please inform me). Exploring it more, the 'Prime Ministerial' deposing that took place before the Shah, is not considered a "Revolution," but a coup (but, again, I am making assumptions; you could well know of more "Revolutions" that I am not aware of).
Anyway, I just wanted to say I gave it a bit more thought. The trailer definitely makes the position of her older relatives clear. I won't say that I didn't jump to some conclusions because I did, but I was a bit confused by your word choice. If you're willing, please clarify what you meant, or inform me of more revolutions, etc.
Just because they entered oppression doesnt mean that the guys before them were "good".
I was actually a bit confused by this as well. "Entering" oppression, suggests that the people were not oppressed before (regardless of types, I'm focused on the wording). I can't speak for you, but given what you just posted, this might be a 'mis-post.'
Edit: Sorry if this is becoming tedious. I'm really interested in finding out everything I can about the movie before I watch it.

You are being very anal about it , but sure i will entertain you. Revolutions , as in, there are several coups and revolutions of thought, politics and procedure that change the direction of the country repeatedly in a short time.
Entering oppression: They leave a kind of oppression to enter another, it doesnt mean that there was an oppression to begin with, as they depose the Shah's son, but the one they enter afterwards is in such a magnitude that it changes the life of the child narrating completely. thus she is narrating her country descent into oppression. Does that mean they were living in roses and cheesecake? Not really, but they werent second rate citizens with fifteen year olds waving guns at their faces either.

I feel as though I have to be. Anyway, although you couldn't have foreseen someone as anal as me entering the thread, I feel as though that could have been more clear. But, now that I understand what you meant, the movie seems far more broad than it did before. And although it has been hinted at before, I see now that i was wrong to jump toward viewing the film (the trailer) under a historical lens.

Does that mean they were living in roses and cheesecake? Not really, but they werent second rate citizens with fifteen year olds waving guns at their faces either.
I can't concede to this, though. But, still if this is what you meant, then I feel as though its a really good clarification.

touche I over generalized, but my point was that a masterpiece, to me anyway, is something that has so little of flaws or flaws that aren't so big that they're very easily overlooked or unacknowledged, and that isn't the case to me with Inception. I also think a masterpiece is something that's relevant for an incredibly long period of time. I know people will be talking about this for a fairly long while, but I seriously doubt that it'll top The Dark Knight in any way.
Yes. Picasso's art (the cubist stuff anyway) makes sense, though. The point is that the painting is painted from all angles at once. BUT that's not really easy to get off the bat and refer to the above part of my post as to why this is more of an opinion thing.

I thought that the opening credits scene was pretty awesome in how it delivered most of the information one needed to understand the world. However, the amped up violence seemed unnecessary, in particular Dan and Laurie's fight in the alley, which seemed way too brutal for those characters. Some of the acting was pretty terrible too (Veidt, Laurie), though Rorschach, Dan, Manhattan, and Blake were awesome.
Also the sex scene in Archie probably should have been trimed, and I would've liked them to have kept Veidt and Manhattan's final conversation (instead of just putting the line "Nothing ever ends" in the scene where Dan and Laurie talk with Sally.

If you refer to the book they actually perform everything , including the busted noses and broken arms, the delivery however was more brutal since it wasnt cut off with pieces of other stuff in a silent veiled manner, it had been played down in the book but they had the same exact actions.

I cant argue with that. Veidt wasnt terrible per se, but when there is so many perfect castings occuring, he is one of the few that is a little off.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Movie
Considering that I haven't read the graphic novels yet, I can't comment on how accurate it was to the original source. However, if you're a gamer and like cool special effect-y type movies with a solid story with interesting characters then you should see this movie. I really haven't liked Michael Cera in a lot or roles but it really seemed this was the role he was born to play. Plus, the use of Zelda 3 sound effects was awesome.
tl;dr Worth seeing if you're a gamer and like special effects. Story's good too.

Okay, let's review the Gay Niggers movie... First of all, this is the type of movie you should watch only if you like to watch stupid/ridiculous movies such as Turkish Star Wars. It's about gay niggers from the planet Anus who come to Earth and realize women are "dominating" men, which is inadmissible. Therefore, they decide to eliminate the threat. The movie is in black and white, bad quality images, the effects are so cheesy they look like they were done in Paint, the dialogues are so bad they become hilarious, and the scenario is so ridiculous it becomes great.

Zombie Strippers So, there are naked big boobed strippers dancing in a club. Then a zombie bites some of them. Then there are naked big boobed zombie strippers dancing in the club.

Normal non alzheimer people will say WTF at the 75% of the playtime till the end of the movie, the plotholes are allover the places, it doesn't give a reference hint when needed, so every surprise would give WTF reaction.
It is like a good tactics over a bad strategy, I hate this movie, because it is so promising. >:(
The Story of O that was a softcore classic, the woman named "O" maybe it means object or hole, whatever, but it was a very great movie (at least I personally think so) based on a novel written by a woman.
basically it is about O trained to be a submissive, although it is all her own free will, as she is being asked for her approval of every act, that's why it is good.

I don't really like it, I can hardly picture Adrien Brody melancholic face as an action hero. I totally agree with the director about the hero should not look like a body builder, but I hope he casted more square jawed tough hero type like Viggo mortensen or bruce willis. (but maybe I'm biased, affected by his role in splice fucking a bald female hybrid being :-X that was revolting )

Alfred Molina and Nicolas Cage do their thing, and Jay Baruchel plays a good role. The cast is great actually.

They only rushed the end (Level 7, part 2, I'm assuming) because it's basically the same exact scene as the one before it with minor changes, so we've already seen it. It's like if a the player dies at the final boss in a video game and attempts to confront him again, he would want to skip all the cutscenes he's already seen and get to point where he messed up as quickly as possible.

So when Scott suits up and dashes to the Chaos Theatre, the words that appear across the screen are "LEVEL 7: BEGIN!! Meaning, it's the final level of the movie with Gideon as the final boss, but when Scott dies and uses his 1-up, he has to go through the level again in classic video game fashion, only it's faster because he already knows what to do and what's going on and is basically "skipping the cutscenes" to get back to his fight with Gideon.

The Twins's robots and kidnapping Kim P, the process of Scott trying to get over the disappearance of Ramona (Or in this case her change of heart.), Lynette's existence, Scott's backstory with Lisa and the memories that Gideon tampered with.
There's a lot more, but they aren't as large scale.

Lynette WAS in the movie. She just had a nonspeaking role. I'm not sure if she had that robot arm though. Also, Lisa appears in the animated short that covered Scott's high school flashback which aired on Adult Swim. She was voiced by Mae Whitman (...her?), who also played Roxy in the actual movie.

I know that, I saw the movie, I'm just saying it's too vague to associated it specifically to the game. The game was based off of the novels, the movie was based off of the novels. I highly doubt they were really that related.
Now wait wait wait wait wait, hold up. Why do you keep bringing up the game? You complained that they rushed the end of the movie, and I'm explaining why it seemed that way with basic gamer psychology.

I don't need to describe it. Just watch this movie, NOW.
Spoiler: GET READY FOR SOME MOVIE SPOILERS(click to see content)
Machete disembowels a guy and uses his long intestine as a rope to swing to the floor below him, which I'm sure I don't need to tell you is wicked bad-ass. Unfortunately, I was hoping Cheech Marin had a bigger role in the movie and didn't die so fast.

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto
Rarely do I completely walk away from movies i make an effort to watch, but I had to say "no" to El Superbeasto after the 2 minute long scene of Dr. Satan jerking off in bed. This movie's stupid, campy, and blatant about it in all the wrong ways. Every goddamn joke falls flat on it's face, and the one good joke (that being El Superbeasto walking into a bar filled with a bunch of 80's horror movie classics) is completely ruined by breaking the fourth wall. Fuck this movie's writing and it's inclusion of Paul Giamatti, who is the man.
also it's full of cartoon tits flopping about. I have no problem with a movie that's full of tits for the sake of tits, but if you are going to make that movie, make it just that. Don't throw in your stupid jokes and fraternity sex humor.

The Foot Fist Way
A film about an American Tae Kown Do instructor's downward spiral after finding out about his wife's infidelity. The film star's Eastbound & Down's Danny McBride as Mr. Simmons, an egotistical martial artist. The film was funded by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, which was released in 2008, but shot in 2006. The film is directed by Jody Hill, whose follow up film (and in my opinion, spiritual sequel) Observe and Report used the same type of middle-armerican realism which depresses the viewer to such an extent. The film is filled with funny one-liners that grow on you as the film progresses. I recommend this film for those who know of this "middle american realism" in such films as the before-mentioned Observe and Report, Napoleon Dynamite, and Youth in Revolt.

The Karate Kid (2010)
Will Smith's son does an awesome job, and there's a scene in which Jackie Chan plays a more dramatic side, which IMO was really good. The rest of the cast is poor. It doesn't have the beauty of the original and they copy too many things from the original, instead of giving it a little different twist. I mean the dude doesn't even learn karate, it's kung fu! Lol. Anyway, it has some cool spots. But that's it.

Azumi (a movie about a band of assassins that looks like a live action anime)
This movie was bland despite being so flashy, but I REALLY wanted their master to suffer a HORRIBLE death. That man was a dick...I give it a 3/5.
Sherlock Holmes
Amazing, may not exactly be true to the first incarnation, but I had fun trying to figure out the mystery (guessed most things pretty accurately), and watching it in general. Robert Downey was great for the role. Not who I'd pick for a true to the original Sherlock, but great for a more lively one.

Steve Carell does all the work here. He's funny and awesome, but Paul Rudd just plain sucks in this movie. The rest of the cast is so-and-so. I like that Zach Galifianakis and David Williams are in this movie, especially Zach he's freakin' hilarious. But this movie is just 1/2 good. Paul Rudd and the others just don't cut it. Otherwise the story is cute, but I would expect more from the director who made Meet the Parents/Fockers.

Resident Evil: Afterlife
I don't know how I feel about, it's either (http://www.mugenguild.com/forumx/Smileys/mfg/emot-ssj.gif) or :qq: or :rofl:
Spoiler: Rant with heavy spoilers(click to see content)
So, you have disposable ALICE clones that care nothing for their lives ... at least if you're gonna see a lot of Milla, they took care of her this time around given how FUCKED she looked in "Extinction" (acne, wrinkles, sup airbrushing to make her look good) ... she was slightly rejuvenated, but taken to a point where she looks like she's a make-up model most of the time when she's not in battle. Also, everytime she's on screen on a full body shot, she strikes a fierce pose ... like on cue.
Then, the world is empty, everybody is a zombie, right? There's only like 2,200 survivors, yet UMBRELLA has like 400 soldiers. That's right, in a post-apocalyptic collapsed world economy where this so-called "corporation" can no longer profit with the virus as a Biologic Weapon, 1/5 of the world population is on Umbrella's payroll as "Goon w/machine gun" ::) The part where they capture the Redfields in underground containers at what point was their pose picture taken for the digital interface?! :ninja:
Every character who isn't from the games OR Alice will die for certain, there is no respect for any character, some of them I believe don't even have a name. My GF was disappointed there wasn't even blood when they were abducted by zombies, they were just, well, ABDUCTED by those zombies with carnivore plants coming out of their mouths. Also, SUBMARINE ZOMBIES.
It's a pastiche of veeeery vague ideas from the games, Slow Motion scene time was highly abused (long and pointless slomo), 3D was barely necessary except for 2 scenes (hell, My Bloody Valentine's had 3 or 4), they are referencing RE5 while they have absolutely ignored Leon from the whole plot, these movies should seriously stop.
As a gamer, DISASTER is the only word that seriously comes to mind. This movie should not be taken seriously by anybody, and people should be sacrificed for it.

Red Cliff
Chinese war drama. If you played Dynasty Warriors, you'll recognize the characters and battles, though they made Zhuge Liang (here named Kong Ming) way more young sly than old sly, Xiao Qiao is a peace loving ideal wife, Gan Ning (named Gan Xing) is still a bad ass, Zhou Yu is not a pretty boy, neither is Liu Bei, Cao Cao is the only Wei general really noticeable. This movie focuses more on the strategy and planning of the battle of Red Cliff, and does a better job of making it interesting than I'd thought, even though that's the part about medieval battle I love. My favorite scene is when Zhuge Liang collects arrows for the allied Shu and Wu forces (funnier than it sounds). Only problem:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
they kill off Gan Ning, even though he died much later.
The Signal
Story: one day, every TV, computer, cell phone and radio begin playing the same, strange signal non stop. Those who listen to or watch it go insane. Told in three parts by different directors or writers, forget which, with the second part being a very dark comedy, it focuses on a woman who had been cheating on her husband, her now psychotic husband who chases after her, and the man she has been sleeping with in his attempt to save her.
The movie is fucking nuts, the most insane movie I have ever seen, and I liked it, especially part 2. Best part of part two is how the prissy lady waiting for guests hears someone pound at the door, "Oh, they're here for the party!" friend standing guard with the bloody shovel as a man, engulfed in flames runs past the window, "No one's coming to your damn party!"

Dario Argento made several very scary horrors and thrillers, or if you want an exotic asian taste... try thailand horrors, like Shutter or other titles (I swear I will never use polaroid camera in my life, never ever o_O)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
I expected gore, but was pleasantly surprised. The father Drayton (I thought he was much older, Wikipedia corrected me) was the best character, much better than the (Leather)face of the series.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World
I personally didn't like it, it definitely targets a specific audience, more so in the hardcore gamers. The plot is a bit of lackluster as Scott is trying to find his true love while going through a ton of chicks, which then he meets Ramona and then ditches his current gf (Knife) because he just had that feeling. The movie starts out funny as Wallace is the comic relief (which he is actually funny and my fav) and Scott I could give 2 buttons about and through out the movie I could care less if thats even possible. The fight scenes were mostly all flash but no substance as it feels as if this movie was made by 13yr olds and the co writer/producer was high as hell. The movie haven't given me any good reason to care about any of the characters. Near the ending where the last fight is going to happen, I was expecting some kind of moral lesson as Scott is doing the same thing as Romana's exs right now but low and behold it never happens. It stayed true to the comic, but too true if you see where im getting at. What gripes me the most is how the villains die, a lot of their deaths were very anti climatic for me.
Personally, I don't think this should've been a live action movie at all.

Oh, I don't disagree with that. Michael Cera was a pretty bad choice, but the rest of the cast was perfect (Except maybe Kim, her hair is supposed to be a darker red, not orange ish) Anyways, about the first half.... they skipped tons of stuff like Todd cheating on Envy with the CYBORG ARM girl, Joseph's character, Scott's parents and Knives's parents weren't in the movie, seriously, they changed enough stuff.
Besides, people usually whine about movies not being true to their source material (Like every videogame based movie), so what's the big deal?

Dragon tiger gate AKA DOUBLE DRAGON PLUS THE LONG LOST THIRD ONE WITH SILVER HAIR AND NUNCHUCKS
jesus christ this movie sucks
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
WE BEGIN with Jimmy lee/kyo kusanagi/the red one meeting an old classmate of his who ends up not being his classmate afterall. shes actually the daughter of the biggest second biggest criminal leader in the city. the the red on go's to eat some with his friends and in a basic kung fu movie good guy way he beats up some baddies to protect the innocent people owning the badguys money. this resaults in him ACCIDENTLY pissing off the crime boss and his right hand man Dante Cullen (oh and they lose some golden medallion but i really dont know or care). So they have a fight, Jimmy meets his long lost (i think) brother Billy lee/Iori Yagami/the blue one, the crime boss JUST LETS THEM GO and Dante has a hissy fit. after that and some angst Billy finds Jimmy and his friends and gets the golden medallion back but gets into a stupid fight with dante and his minions where THE THIRD ONE(the one with silver hair and nunchucks) comes in and helps him out. when all that is done, Jimmy and silver hair go to the family dojo (that is, jimmys family) there is flashbacks, pointless fights and some more angst. but yeah, the crime boss gets bored of rich life filled with hookers and IDIOTS so he sends the golden medallion back to the real bad guy of the movie... some dude in a cape and a mask. thats really all there is to him. He takes sending the medallion back as an insult so he sends his minions to kill crime boss 1. Billy tries to help but makes it too late (also, gets beat up pretty bad). the evil boring guy in mask and cape go's to the dojo, beats people up and kills their sensei. now that all our 3 heroes are in bad shape Billys girlfrined (could be jimmys. i have no fucking clue) has to go trough some bullshit to get this ALL NEW SENSEI WE ONLY KNOW OF FOR 20 MINUTES to both heal and train two of the heroes (jimmy and silverhair). im guessing billy will manage on his own. There is a training montage. Silverhair learns odd golden bell move. Jimmy learns useless fucking kick move he only uses once and that go's totally shit as well. the two of them attack the cape + mask mans house and get themselfs beat up. However billy comes to rescue and he has genei-jin now and you know how it is with that moves. he compleatly ruins the badguys shit. they re-open the dojo. and silverhair gets a name. jesus christ this is stupid
this movie just kinda pissed me off so i wrote it out. dont watch it.

cloverfield nauseating, I always dislike FPS camera when used extensively in both game and movie, but I strongly hate SHAKY FPS CAMERA, realism they say, while nothing realistic about the movie itself, that fucking monster just appeared out of nowhere no reason, no theory about it, just random alien happen to land on earth and fucking things up. and what with that small creatures that made human explodes after got bitten by them, there is no sense behind it, why exploded, It's more understandable if the human turned into temporary host, or the maybe assimilated. I think it is overrated, just because it started like a believable everyday life, and people might relate themselves into the character's shoes but to me it is just another godzilla and rec or blairwitch bastard son.

Oh, and it better have more Arnold in it now that he's not the goddamn governor anymore.

Shaun of the dead
first zombie movie i have ever seen. and it was great. it was funny but it did get pretty dark at times. ending was great.
also, considering the way they fought the zombies off for most of the time i was really suprised at the ripping apart scene. but hey, i hated the guy so it was cool to me.

Feast Watched it with a lady friend, it was one of those corny horror movies you watch in the 70s and it tries to be badass. Well I tell you that it is corny. The Badass part had only one scene that was badass but not good enough to redeem the movie. This movie is for people that just want to have a good time and is in the mood for blood and gore. Im not a gore type person but it didnt bother me as I thought it would. HOWEVER there is one scene that just turned me off from watching the rest of the series. It's the part where the biker chick was thought "dead", thats all im gonna say, and yes there is Feast 2 and 3 she wanted to watch but we watched something else.

Post by: Bastard Walt on January 24, 2011, 05:23:57 pm
You do understand this is a "Bond: Origins" kind of movie, right? He's supposed to be reckless, and vengeful, he falls in love passionately and is betrayed, that's why he becomes an emotionally distant ladies man later on in his carreer - he won't make the same mistakes in the future. He's compelling because he's human, he fights, he struggles, he bleeds, he grieves.
He may be "ugly", but Pierce Brosnan was so god-damn pretty and skinny I just could never believe he was actually a SUPER SPY / ASSASSIN, he was just too prissy. This guy I can believe though, and his sex appeal doesn't have to be subordinate with his looks, but more to his attitude.

he looks perfect with the dirty player look not only in the character written for him but the 007 character as a whole, also he isn't ugly but he isn't outstandingly beautiful either and you should get outside often because you'd be surprised at "uglier" guys getting impossible hotties

So far:
“Black Swan” Anorexic Natalie Portman masturbating and a lot of ballet. Not really something I want to watch again, but I do understand why it was nominated.
“The King's Speech” Historical drama with themes of courage, fear and friendship. Not what I was expecting, but I would watch it again.
“127 Hours” I've started to watch it several times but I know whats going to happen and just can't bring myself to sit through that.
“The Social Network” Facebook! May or may not watch it again, that one guy was kinda cute.
“True Grit” Darker and more abrasive than the original with John Wayne. Jeff Bridges is outstanding and I will watch it again.

Not the greatest movie by any stretch, but very entertaining. Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins gave great performances, but the true star of the movie was the Grizzly Bear.

Exam Movie started off pretty boring because they didn't tell you shit about the characters but as the movie progressed and started going through its stages. It was fucking great. The twist upon twist at the end were just insane, not what I would expect from a psychological thriller.

The Love of Siam(2007
It's a Asian gay film, so you have to be open minded to it. I personally find it a good movie, it's pretty much about two best friends who move away from each other, but meet up again and it shows how the main character(Siam) goes through loneliness and such.

Alien: Scared the hell out of me, even though I had seen it several times before. Perfect movie to watch with a male company, as there are many tense moments that one can use as an excuse to snuggle tighter and closer.
Aliens: Off goes the horror, leaving only the terror on this action packed movie. Space marines getting mowed down by hordes of xenomorphs. Good times, good times.
Alien 3: I don't know how to fit it with the other two. The movie is good, has moments of tension and a decent story, but doesn't feel quite up to par with Alien and Aliens. The deaths of Newt and Hicks also felt like a slap to my face.
Going to watch Alien Resurrection today.

All the funny scenes were already shown in the trailer and there wasn't much more other than that. Sigourney Weaver cameo was a bit expected since she has one in damn near any movie that has to do with aliens. Overall, it was okay, but I expected more.

Date Night: Wasn't bad, I did enjoy it. However it was very dry comedy, reminded me of The Office compiled into a movie. I would probably give it a 6/10.
The Bounty Hunter: That movie with Jeniffer Aniston, just saying at least 9 out of 10 Jeniffer Aniston movies suck. Unfortunately, imo this happen to be on of the movies that suck. The idea was awesome, and there were some good parts I admit. But I still didn't like it overall. 4/10.
Black Snake Moan: Yes I am aware this movie has been out for a while..Anyways, I finally got around to watching it. I really did like it, I wouldn't say tons of nudity but quite a few scenes of it. The story itself was really well done. 8/10.

Lots of people said that this movie is hard to understand. But i understand the whole story just by watching it once. :P Leo basically venture into level 3 depth in dreams + limbo world. And the last scene imo IS the reality because there are no projections behavior (people around you giving a hatred look) and no disturbance in the nature (a kick) in the Leo world.
Overall: 7/10 Good movie, but not too mind-boggling for me. Primer on the other hand, is a mind fuck movie. I absolutely have no clue about its storyline (Primer is about time traveling movie with lots of paradox scene/event.)

Plus the top tilted. If you pay attention in his dream sequences, the top never tilted and thus always stayed in the same position. In the real world the top tilts when its going to fall. In the dreams it never does.

Very strange movie about a man with a heart shaped birth mark on his face whom discovers that there are demons on the streets of London. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't get hooked at all. I pretty much had the mind-set "Started it, might as well finish it..." The beginning was extremely boring, the middle got better and honestly the ending was alright. To be completely honest though, I wouldn't recommend it.

The Fast and the Furious franchise has been lacking the sort of opposition needed to present some sort of stakes amidst the vehicular action, and in Johnson comes the right type of action man antagonist for this type of movie. He also matches up wonderfully with Vin Diesel, with The Rock taking on The Diesel in a battle of bald headed, muscle ripping superiority that reaches its zenith in a well choreographed, bone crunching fight scene.

Proof positive that Marvel should be the only ones to make Marvel movies. The CGI wasn't the greatest I've seen but incredible cast, incredible acting, and great action. Also, if you see it make sure to stay until after the credits because:

Deadgirl
when raping a zombie counted as good idea.
but that was not "rape" rape, since the girl was dead and left for years in a basement, but it was not necrophiliac because the dead body was alive.
the zombie girl was breathing, but it was also cold, but then the wound from the gunshot was warm, the skin looks pale but not rotting, but they say it smelled bad, and green goo came out of the gunshot wounds, but when her face got beaten up she bled red blood,
it has wild pubes down there for realism, but her underarm was clean shaved,
inconsistency was everywhere as if the director wanted to make an ironical joke, or maybe it was meant to be like that... o_O
The Rite
it was exorcist with anthony hopkins's talent.

Liam Neeson is one of those actors that classes up any role he's in, regardless. Taken was a great movie!
Anywho, saw Thor today:
The action and effects were lackluster. The characterization and casting were superb! Especially Heimdel, Loki, Thor and Odin. Even Portman did well as Jane Foster. A lot of corny moments though.

except for the A-team, that was horribly corny, dry jokes, gay mr.T
however most of the time he acted well in medieval age roles
anthony hopkins always has his lines as if they are specially written for him, or he has written them himself, his role as dr. hanibal lechter, and father Lucas Trevant all seem very similar in the way he speaks (dominant, clever, fast talking, rude)

Tropa de elite - a movie about the death squads in brazil, based on a real story. -its gruesome its bloody, its meaningful, its just common daily life in rio de janeiro and the cops that are there to kill drug dealers.
Harold and kumar: go to white castle go to guantano bay It was okay, Neil patrick Harris was the best part of both movies.
Ong bak - A poor village in inner thailand has the idol's head stolen, they send a man in search of it. - it was a really good martial arts flick, the fights were incredibly well done and very interesting.
Rio -3d animation, about an arara in rio de janeiro -it was okay, if you liked ice age you like this, for sure.
Tucker and Dale Vs EVIL -a bunch of college students go to a lake, when a girl that has fallen and hit her head is taken by the hillbillies nearby. The students all decide to save her, thinking they are psychopats while they are just normal people freaked out about the crazy college students running off cliffs and killing themselves around them.
SUPER -A man with hallucinations where he keeps seeing christ loses his drug addict wife to the local dealer, he decides to don a super hero suit and become the CRIMSON BOLT. -very sentimental, it has a sad flavour to it, but it was nice. Loved Bolty.

Rec / Rec 2 / Quarantine (revisit)
REC VS QUARANTINE - Rec is superior. Quarantine was BLAAAAND even if it was a carbon copy in almost all aspects, it managed to fail being superior to the original.
REC VS REC 2 - Rec is superior overall, but I loved the meaningful plot twists in Rec 2. I hope they finish the trilogy sometime soon, although they'll have a hard time writing something epic since the cliffhanger was so massive.

Actually it is quite erratic indeed. Like the girl had signs of "tuberculosis" for a while and then she changes. Maybe it's the amount of exposure, or the fact that it's on the loose that changes people faster.

Halloween 2 (The new one):
It wasn't scary at all, not even the hallucination scenes with the constant spazzing and such. A combination of moronic attempts at 'horror' and out of place porn-esque scenes turned what could have been an interesting movie into something less interesting than a Skoal-filled Pepsi can.
Only good part was with Weird Al.
Drive Angry:
Getting pushed head-first into a plot with barely any explanation at all at first didn't really set well with me, and I really can't take Nicholas Cage seriously anymore. And it can get pretty cheesy. But the comedy, fight scenes, and The Accountant in general made it a fun watch.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
'Bout damn time public TV over here broadcasted the third installment, no thanks to the On Stranger Tides hype that's up in the air. It was excellence: over-the-top action with a slight dose of situational comedy poured on top. In other words, everything a good Pirates movie should contain was present, and it didn't get dull.
Hope the fourth one lives up to my expectations.

I'm usually annoyed by it, but I really didn't mind this movie at all. Very dramatic movie, attention grabbing all the way through. I'd give it a 9/10.

Figured I'd grab a movie from the redbox also. Waited until the woman was asleep then watched this. Kind of expecting it to be a bit stupid, it was honestly.

American Pie: The Book of Love
Its nice to watch with friends who are total douchebags, they'll add happiness/good memories even more while watching the movie. But on a more serious note, the movie was actually pretty mild compared to the old ones (which is a good thing). The other American Pie movies were ridiculous and contained complete nonsense.
Its a good movie. 9/10

Hangover Part 2:
IMO, not better than the first one. They tried to repeat the same actions in a way to make you enjoy it like the first one. Some of the scenes were fucking crazy and shocking and funny. All in all it was good, not as good as the first. 7/10
X-Men First Class:
Wasn't bad. Considering I heard nothing but bad reviews I expected crap, I actually enjoyed it. 8/10

Despite the heaping helping of hate I originally had for the movie, I have to admit I was wrong. It's actually really good. How good is it? It's so good it goes out of its way retcon X-Men 3 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine out of the movie canon.

Hated the idea of it, but the movie was great. Perhaps even the best X-Film to date. Mostly excellent effects. Nazi Hunter Magneto was just a brilliant concept. Magneto stole the show. If this is a sign of what his movie will be like, I'm all for it.

Watched the theatrical release. Han looks so hot when shooting first and murdering Greedo in cold blood. Also, George Lucas is clearly a pervert, as Carrie Fisher isn't wearing a bra in most the scenes where Leia can be seen. --; Very enjoyable movie with cheesy acting and lines.

Pirates of the Carribean 4 : Saw it in iMax 3D. Kind of what I was expecting : super cool Johnny Depp and gorgeous Penelope Cruz, topped zith wonderful FX but no story to back it up. Just a movie you go see to the cinema to have some fun, without expecting it to be the movie of the year (nor even the month). I expected this, so it's fine. Green hornet : I heard it was good and funny. I just though the hero was lame, stupid, the joke unfunny, the plot uninspired, and I just wanted to kick GH in the face each minute. Bleh, hated it.
The Town (Ben Affleck) : Very good crime and bank robbery movie, no cliche, very well written and produced. A must see, especially if you liked "Gone Baby Gone".

Green Lantern
The acting and special effects were great, but it tries to do way too much and ends up being, like, 75% exposition. It forces itself to explain the origin stories of not only Hal Jordan, but also the entire Green Lantern Corps and three separate villains, so whenever anything that actually advances the plot happens it comes off as sudden and forced.

Watched Transformers 3. I liked it a lot, dunno why the critics hate it so much. If they were seriously expecting a more intricate plot from a movie based on toys, in which robots beat each other to a pile of garbage, I think the critics are idiots.

*Return to OZ (1985) - 5.5/10 - not bad I seen it once before a long time ago. *Demolition Man - 7.5/10 - I love this movie its fun and has lots of action. *Sucker Punch (R-Rated edition) - 7/10 - I like this movie even after a second time I still do.

such a troma movie. some corny jokes aside (hahaha i get it cops are fat and eat donuts i get it.) it was stupidly entertaining, just like jesus christ vampire hunter. the lead dude has delightfully awkward line delivery which just enhances the experience.
although...i must admit, i'm a little weirded out how cartoonish some things are treated. like i know it's gonna be goofy as fuck at times, but i don't expect a totally zany transformation scene after a fucking rape scene. but again, i guess that's just troma being troma

I did not see any character development, Sam (main character) is acting like a paranoid 6yr old half the time while his girl is just bland and boring. The whole plot is boring and dull, the only part I was surprised on was where someone defected. There is one part that absolutely drove me insane.

This movie was pathetic to say the least. I knew I was in for some real shit the moment the movie started with a shot of Carly's ass. I think Michael Bay gets away with the movies by introducing some stupid jokes between scenes and some action elements to keep people from turning away their heads. I mean 50% of the movie is aircrafts taking off and silly jokes. The fact that Optimus Prime gets overpowered by some metal cables, and fights other giants robots with ease makes me laugh.
The only thing I liked about this movie was the whole "bad humans-decepticons alliance thing". The rest was all shit.

I never thought Christina Agulierra (Or whatever) could be a decent actor. But really. It could have been SO much better. It had the actors, it had the lines, it had the music. But the cliche feeling and the lack of seriousness where it needs it avoids the movie from reaching some form of potential.

There were several bits that made it weird for me, i couldnt even tell if it was mocking religion or being positive about it.
the whole world is in an armageddon state after a big event that seems almost like the rapture at times.
villain wanted the bible so he could use it as a world domination tool, because people turn slaves to it when the words are used
anyone listening to anything read from the bible would collapse in awe
the scientists are rebuilding the world, but can only do it with the bible. and only once they have it in the ending and start printing it, does the world starts to be alright, because no one is a good person unless they have the bible to read.
with the bible they manage to rebuild a world, hurrah!

They needed the Bible to complete the picture of the past, not so much they needed it in particular but because it was the only copy that was left in the world, it had to be preserved somehow, to teach future generations about it. Honestly, the coolest twist was when you find out he is blind.

short answer no long answer noooooooooooooooooooo
somewhat convoluted answer: maybe if galactus was really really starved half to death. and even then its heavily unlikely.

Sure that part was wrong but everyone was kinda in character. Superman returns activates me because we ended up with two sorry movies and not one. The director bailed out of x-men 3, took like 5 or more people important for the movie, and a better script with him.
Marvel goes and hands the movie to some one who never read the comics and fucks it all up.
The director who got starstruck/superstruck walked into a franchise that needed to be rebooted and ended up with mediocre results because it wasn't

Went with my girlfriend and her kid sister to the movies this past week. My girlfriend told her sister that she could pick the movie.
They first were looking at Transformers3:dorkofthemoan. Having already seen that movie and not particularly wanting to sit through another three hours of people falling down stairs, I bent down to her sister and whispered in her ear that we should see The Zookeeper. It was almost worth it to see my girlfriend's face when her sister chose The Zookeeper.
Almost.

Salt : Angelina Jolie is beautiful, as usual, but the plot if very predictable, the action is not great, and everything is as cliché as it can get. Very average, but I wasn't expecting more anyway. Too bad, because the base storyline had potential.
Ip Man 2 : Donnie Wen is awesome as ever in this second opus of Ip Man's story (ie. Bruce Lee's master). Plot may not be as deep as the first movie, but the choregraphies are wonderful, the story good enough for this kind of movie, and the actors play really very well.

After watching both Ip Man movies (which are really great, BTW), I wanted to see a Donnie Yen movie in a different style. Well, this one is not the good one. Graphically very nice, and that's about it. The actors never give the impression they're "in their role", the choreographies are sub-par, the story is very simple and yet it's hard to follow because the screenplay is kinda bad and doesn't bring/explain the plot correctly.

Hanna 4/10 I have a great expectation when i watched the trailer, i thought it would be the female version of Bourne or modern day Assassin Creed. Boy, i was wrong. Only the first part of the movie is exciting, the latter part is all about teen drama which is suck. The assassin factor is not brought to the surface. Shame.
Sucker Punch 7/10 The action scenes is suck. The cast have zero ability for battle scenes. But the drama is quite good. I'm surprised this movie actually have a bad ending. I thought all the main cast will live happily ever after, turn out it contain more dark and gloomy scenes near the end.
I like the drama plot but not the action where they faced giant samurai, zombie nazi, dragon, or robot.

I liked the movie, well-realized and the 3D fits so well with some scenes (and it's my 2nd 3D movie I saw, along with Cap. America). Also, Carol Ferris was so yummy, and Sinestro and Kilowog are so badasses 8). It's a good movie, but not awesome as Captain America, I expected some more, but the critics didn't help me to get more enthusiast. For me, the Hal's constructs, like the chainsaw, machineguns and flamethrower as well the last scene with Sinestro putting the yellow ring after credits are the best part of the movie ever >:D

Captain America: The First Avenger
I have a small issue with the movie. Here in Portugal they separate the movies into 2 halfs, so people can go to the bathroom or something during the 7 minute break. So I noticed that the movie kinda has the whole action packed into the second half.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
It breaks when Steve decides to go and rescue Bucky, and the scenes after looked more like promotion action scenes than actual individual action scenes, which I would prefer they did the other way around. By showing an action scene with the new costume first, and then using all those compiled shots of him wrecking shit.
But overall it was great. Can't wait for Avengers. :sugoi:

The King Of Fighters Bullshit plot, horrible acting, stupid wire-fu and over-use of After Effects. Only Maggie Q's pretty face helped me through the movie. Kyo looks more like Shingo, which pretty much sums up the entire movie...it's a joke.

I was expecting something a lot worse from this ol' horror flick. Feels really slow up until the late second half, when you're suddenly exposed to the most shocking scenes this movie has to offer. Pretty darn gross nonetheless, I'll give it that much.

I think its the first Myazaki, correct me if i'm wrong. Just got the chance to watch it recently. Well what can i say... you know that unique feeling you have everytime you watch a studio ghibli movie... feels like you are living on a tiny cloud. My mind was just calm and clear while i was watching it, didnt even need to think the feelings just comes out from the screen and goes directly into your heart. Really its something you watch with your heart, not your brain.
When the movie ended, i looked around and realized i was back in real life. Mfw > FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU >:(

yeah if you like Hatchet 2 you will like one. I loved both movie great kills lol.
Grave Encounters - 7/10 not bad for a typical shaky cam movie I liked this better than any other shaky cam movie that has come out recently (looking at you Paranormal Activity) lol Little Fockers - 5/10 wasnt really funny more of the same movie again. The New Kids - 6.5/10 more 80's horror Thriller movies, fun but dated movie about bullying lol Horrible Bosses - 6/10 I wanted to laugh more but it never came, some funny lines and Jennifer Aniston was hot as a brunet. Your highness (second time seeing it) - 6.5/10 still reminds me of the Dungeons and Dragons movie with weed lol but not a bad movie. Basket Case 1 & 2 - 6.5/10 more 80's horror and gore, a dated move but not bad had some great scenes and some terrible acting lol

Thanks to my new flatmate + a new website I discovered, I now have 400 new movies to watch on my hard drive. ;P Just have to take the time to do so.
Paul Great comedy. I loved the way the Alien was behaving. The humour on religion and how Paul gave all these ideas about Aliens to Spielberg & Cie was great. Overall a must see movie. Score : 7/10
Resident Evil Afterlife I knew it was going to be shitty. I didn't think it would be THAT shitty. The 10 first minutes of badly done action with only special effects and no choregraphy almost made me want to stop and watch another movie. Scenario is weak as hell. At least the actors are pretty... Score : 3/10
Conviction Drama/thriller about a woman who's brother has been put to jail for life, while he's innocent. She becomes a lawyer in order to free him. This movie is based on a true story. While the plot is interesting and the movie quite good generally speaking, I thought it was a bit too slow. Score : 6/10
In the Valley of Ellah Returning from Irak, a soldier is found burnt and cut into pieces. Police conclude it's related to drug dealing, but the father of the victim thinks there's more than that. He decided to investigate himself. Very good scenario, very good actors, and shows how young soldiers can become when coming back from war. Very good parallel with David & Goliath, hence the title of the movie. Score : 7/10

This movie is so corny in an attempt to be edgy I'm surprised the "Ghost Host" from the Haunted Mansion ride directed it. Also credit must go to the character Moon, and his famous catchphrase that does not transfer well to today's generstion: "I'm gonna Moon ya, man, I'm gonna Moon ya!"

Post by: Cybaster on October 01, 2011, 12:27:16 pm
Rise of Planet of the Apes has a slow rhythm, but I think the story is really interesting and gives a good explanation of why apes took over Earth in the 1976 movie. And the special effects to give "life" to the apes are astonishing IMO.
Thor Finally watched it. Good entertaining movie, which is kind of what you're looking for when seeing it. The guy playing Thor is perfect for the role, and while the scenario is very basic, predictable and a little weak, this is compensated by good acting, nice special effects and overall tempo which is nice. A good watch to spend some nice time. Grade : 7/10
Memento Story of a guy who wants to find his wife's murderer, but has an amnesia problem where he cannot make new memories. Thus, he write all his notes on pieces of papers, photos and tatoos. Very nice psychological thriller, and a mind blowing ending. Grade : 9/10

Wow you didn't watch it yet ? It's like classic movie. It require carefull watching (I think more watch than just once). There is so many stuff that lead to some crazy theories about events in the movie. This is Nolan I love the most, not that commercial comic shit (not that it's are bad, I just prefer his non comic works)
You should really watch Nolan debut movie "Following". It's short movie (about 60 min.) shot all in black & white and it was made with budget 5000$. Awards for this movie & cash from it lead to creation of Memento. I must say both movies are equally great which proves that if you have good script and ideas then you don't need special effects, 3D or other shit to create outstanding movie.
I sincerely hope that Nolan will create more stuff like these two.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Cybaster on October 03, 2011, 12:14:11 am
Yeah, I'm lacking a few number of classic movies, but I'm slowly catching up. :P I like all Nolan's movies so far, whether it was done with very few budget or not. His latest movies have the "Oh WOW" thing due to special effects, while the old ones are often more deep with the scenario, but all of them are great.
Stranger than Fiction A guy is just living a normal dull life. But one day he starts hearing voices of a narrator saying everything about his life, and he understands he's the hero of a novel... until he hears the narrator say "little did he know that he was going to die". The hero then does everything he can to find the narrator and make her change the story. Very original comedy, a few LOL moments and overall cool realisation. End was a bit slow, but it's still a good watch. Grade : 6.5/10
Mean Girls A comedy Gossip Girls in a high school with Lindsey Lohan. Yeah, quite the stupid movie with pretty girls. Still, it's actually quite funny and well made considering the type of movie it is. A good watch if you want to see a little comedy. Grade : 6/10

No Strings Attached: It's another movie that I didn't watch the whole thing on. Its about two people name Emma & Adam from summer camp. They dated. At the end they were at Emma's sister's wedding. Pretty intersting movie. Rating: 8/10

Something tells me you lack the necessary background to understand the movie correctly, mainly knowing more about The Swan Lake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Lake), what the white and black swan are all about, etc. And this kind of psychological drama thriller may not be for your age either.

To understand Black Swan's intended damage, you must understand Aronofsky. You must watch his past movies to understand the symbolism, the figurative language, the inherent mind fuck.
Black Swan is probably his simplest plot, pretty "in your face" movie. It complements Mickey Rourke's "The Wrestler", as the female side of the same theme - people who must demand a lot out of themselves physically to make a living.

Batman: Year One:
Batman's voice actor was pretty bad, and they half-assed two of my favourite moments from the comic (Batman getting hit with a tv and "you're the one who tried to shoot that cat"). Otherwise it was as good as I had hoped.

I was really surprised cuz I was expecting rather simple action movie. But this one is very different level, it's amazing. Best movie I saw in this year I think.
This movie was very cool and entertaining, all the way. I love the sound track for it, really epic in my opinion. I thought of it to have a Scarface/Grand-theft auto type of feel to it. ;D

Ending felt a bit lacking though.

Very Good. You will see the journey of emotionless man experience emotions.
Last movie i watched: My Girl and I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Girl_and_I) [8/10]
This is why i hate watching Korean love movies. Most of the time, it always have a bad or sad ending. >:( At first, it just a story about ordinary high school teenage love. And then BAM! Shit-hit-the-fan from the middle of the movie toward the end.
The movies teaches us about the frailty of life and the true meaning of true love. How far will you go just to be with the one you love. It also teach about living the life to the fullest.
This movie had a sad ending FYI. Watch it at your own risk, and prepare a box of tissues at your disposal.

Brooklyn's Finest
I don't get this movie, like watching 3in1 clips about some generic cop movie plot that has been exploited thousands of times before. -about a useless white veteran cop in his last week before retirement, -about a latino narco detective with money problem, -and a black undercover cop who has been too long in his gangster identity, wishing to have a desk job and save his marriage
none of them crossing path throughout the movie, only at the very very last accidentally.

Boyz n the Hood
Before the opening scene of Boyz n the Hood, two messages flash across the screen: "One out of every twenty-one Black American males will be murdered in their lifetime," and "Most will die at the hands of another black male." The movie is about a boy named Tre and his father Furious Styles (Lawrence Fishburne) who is a hard ass on his son because he wants him to make something of himself. I wont spoil the details, but the central theme of the movie is that black men need a strong father figure in their life or chances are they will end up dead or in jail.
I wished I had watched this movie alone. The movie is about how terrible hood life is, and yet you have my classmates saying things like "Ell' yeah dey needed to kill dat bitch niggah!'. Its as if they want to live this sort of life.

The same goes for any type of movie in the hood life genre and it sucks because they really do have a positive message. I think it gets ridiculed and made fun of because of that.

If your talking about the cheesiness of movies as they age, then yeah, I can agree with you on that. What Im getting at is that African Americans take a sense of pride in anything that portrays the stereotyped hood life and they're reasons for justifying it.
They live in the projects cause white people are trying to keep them poor! He deals drugs, but its ok cause he needs to make that money! We roll in gangs cause thats what hip hop tells us is cool! Hey man, Im from Detroit! North side, represent!
The same can be said for New Jack City. The movie is about a drug dealer who killed his best friend over a loan. Instead of blacks learning a lesson that drugs will turn your life upside down, they instead go out and do the same thing and make fucking rap songs about it.

Michael Jackson's This is it Never been a huge fan of MJ, even though I know his classics, obviously. This movie is a well paced collection of footage showing how his last show, that he couldn't offer to the world for the reasons we know, would have been. A nice watch, reviving nice memories. Grade : 7/10
Death Proof I'm slowly helping my girlfriend catch up on all of Tarantino's movies. Only Kill Bill 1&2 are missing now. This movie from Grindhouse is a great tribute to the old slasher movies, with great dialogues and actors, as usual. I can never get enough of it. Grade : 7/10 (personal grade : 8.5/10)
African Cats A Disney documentary about Lions and cheetahs. They put up a nice "story" for the whole movie, and it's entertaining, has very nice visuals as well as teaching us many things about these animals. It's as good as the BBC Nature's Greatest Events and other types of documentaries. Grade : 7/10
Bad Teacher One word : stupid! So stupid you can't do anything else than laugh at times, but really, it's a bad movie. Don't watch it, even if you like Cameron Diaz or Justin Timberlake. Grade : 3/10
Transformers 3 I was surprised, I was waiting for much worst. The story is actually cool and well paced, even though it's quite basic. Very nice animations and special effects. Definitely one of Michael Bay's best movies. :) Grade : 6/10
X-Men, First Class A movie showing how Professor X first created the X-Men. Very good plot, nicely showing how everybody comes into place and how Magneto became ... Magneto. Grade : 7/10
Hanna Story about a girl that has been raised in the forst by her farther in order to become a killer. She's sent on a mission and discovers life. Plot is quite basic and predictable, and the movie isn't very impressive. Not bad, not good, just very average. Grade : 5/10
Equilibrium Story takes place in the future, after WW3. People all take shots to anihilate there emotions, because hatred is what almost killed all humans. The Tetra Gramaton are in charge of checking everybody took their shots, and kills all the rebels. But one day, the most powerful of them becomes a rebel too. Low budget movie, but with a very good plot. Often considered as the "Matrix for Poor people" because of its action scene, I believe this movie is much more than that. Grade : 8/10

This movie was pathetic to say the least. I knew I was in for some real shit the moment the movie started with a shot of Carly's ass. I think Michael Bay gets away with the movies by introducing some stupid jokes between scenes and some action elements to keep people from turning away their heads. I mean 50% of the movie is aircrafts taking off and silly jokes. The fact that Optimus Prime gets overpowered by some metal cables, and fights other giants robots with ease makes me laugh.
The only thing I liked about this movie was the whole "bad humans-decepticons alliance thing". The rest was all shit.
Great movie. I don't think an X-Men Origins: Magneto is needed after this one. I'm pretty much satisfied with the whole Xavier/Magneto friendship storyline thing.
TF3 - 3/10
First Class - 9/10

Fair enough. Seeing your smiley, I was afraid you were going to give X-Men a 4/10 and TF3 a 9/10. :P
Anyway, I still think TF3 is watchable. As for X-Men, the movie is cool and all, but for a comics based movie to reach 9/10, it has to be something like the Dark Knight for me.
And don't bash movies that start with a girl's ass walking. That's the first scene of Death Proof too. >:(

Kaboom An original and ambitious movie, but that fails to deliver all its potential. It starts with a semi-erotic teen comedy movie with gay/lesbian/bi relationships and nice boobs (and nice surfers too). Then switches in the middle to a semi-horror (not scary at all, since you still think it's a comedy) thriller (which you don't believe, see previous point) about a sect and the end of the world. Good ideas, but the average realisation and badly paced rythm make the movie feel... unachieved. A project a little too "big" for the realisator it seems. Final grade : 5.5/10

Thursday - 8/10 - was a odd movie but entertaining to watch. Paulina Porizkova was great in this movie. I def think this plot was used before I cant remember what movie.
Antichrist - 7/10 - not much more I can say.....

Made in Dagenham Interesting and well made historical movie about how, in 1968, some women went in strike in order to have sex equality concerning salaries (they were twice less paid than men for the same job). Good pace, good actors, funny at times, dramatic at others. Good movie. Grade : 7.5/10
Ip Man, the Legend is Born Movie about when IpMan was young and he learned Wing Chun. This film isn't in the same series as the two other movies, and doesn't star Donnie Yen. Still, some actors are the same (but not the same role), and the choregraphies are really nice too. Not as good as IpMan 1/2, but still a nice watch. Grade : 7/10

Kevin is Brittany & Marcus is Tiffany They go to a Hamptons hotel & met 3 friends. Their friends don't know they're black, but however, at the fashion show they reveal who they really are.

The Muppets 8/10 - This was great still funny after 12 years they are just how I remember them. Jim Henson would be proud.
Warrior 9/10 - Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton were fantastic in this movie. I didnt think a MMA movie could pull heart strings but it did and it was a great movie. Kurt angle was is it also and I never realized how big he was lol (then again I dont watch wrestling)
The Devils Double 7.5/10 - Thought this was pretty good, The main Actor did good playing 2 roles. I would like to know how close this was to actual events.
Just Go with it 6/10 - it was ok for a Adam Sandler Movie, I think if would benefit from getting rid of the nut shot jokes. On a good note there was plenty of beautiful women in this film.
30 mins or Less 4/10 - was boring and unfunny. I had higher hopes for this. Gnomeo & Juliet 7/10 - alot better than I thought. Good Voice over work from the actors. The Hangover 2 7/10 - I def liked this one better than the first. I actually laugh watching this one. The Funhouse 6/10 - Pretty good horror movie. I wish carnivals were more like this lol

actually... I'm not very sure about that. monster wise this new one is better, but the rest of the victims weren't really likeable so I didn't really care when they died, but since this is a monster movie, I can't say the first one was better objectively (maybe it felt better because it was the first time we saw alien behaved this way, and since then there was Mimic, and some less popular movies exploiting the same idea about monster who mimics human being)
I watched The Woman If I were a cop, I will arrest the movie director for his sickening idea.

The Skin I Live In http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1189073/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1189073/)
This was an intriguing story involving a brilliant surgeon who is grieving his dead wife and goes too far to heal his pain. I thought the movie was pretty good, although I am a bit biased toward some of the subject matter...
It reminded me a lot of Victim, only it was done much better.
Also for anyone else who might be into TG kinds of stories, a friend of mine is wrapping up his first full feature length film, Paradox Alice. He's fishing around for where it will be released...possibly Netflix? Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U60Afcb6Ri8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U60Afcb6Ri8)

well a perverted husband found a wild woman bathing in the river in his back yard wood during his weekend hunting activity, he peeked her naked upper body through the scope of his hunting rifle and later on her caught her with a net, tied her in the basement, but she bit his finger off when he want to check her face... it was a weird movie, and very graphic in showing wounds, and people munching on another people flesh together with blood vessel etc.

In hindsight, the movie technically sucks, but the banter between the three lead dudes is priceless and Jennifer Aniston is smokin' hot as a brunette. It's a hilarious take on what if you hated your boss so much you wanted them dead. I recommend you watch it at least once.

No, the moral of the story was to leave the store to go get your kids before the monsters are everywhere and before the crazy Christian lady decides it's time to start sacrificing people. You'll be magically fine and be rescued by the army! Meanwhile the idiot who stays in the store and then escapes much later and then shoots his kid when the army is 5 minutes away will get to look at you, with your kids, on the army truck thingy and know that he was wrong!

The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo was awesome and definitely worth the three hours it takes for it to end. You will like this movie. The end pretty much sums up the title; instead of an actual name for the girl, she's just a girl with a tattoo, because everyone eventually forgets about her (unless she doesn't want them to). At least, that's what I got from it.
Go see the movie, though.

...I honestly don't see how is this 'bad beyond belief'. It's a pretty average at worst romantic comedy that has one or two quirky characters, like the horny grandpa. The only thing I really hated was hearing Sofía Vergara for more than 15 seconds. Fuck my ears.

just rewatched Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" after re read the novel. Personally I think Gary Oldman was the one acting in this whole movie, he is such a great actor
Wynona Ryder was great also but I blamed the script writer who added this Elisabeta character that made Mina to be such a reincarnated unfaithful whore, than a smart, devoted wife from the novel
Anthony Hopkins was acting his usual smart mouthed, cold hearted Hannibal Lecter... He is a great actor but I find his performance in this film was not that great to be the Abraham Van Helsing, he was impolite, mentally unstable, and even caressed Mina's breast... I bet he was too busy to read the novel.
Sadie Frost, I can count with one hand the scene she had without showing her breast or nipple, Lucy Westenra can be a little too naive or spoiled but never this slutty..
the rest of the bunch were all over simplified joke.
this movie brought Dracula back into the classical tragic monsters, unlike the novel that made Dracula to be a pure evil without any remorse and redeemable soul.

Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows. Just as fun as the first movie. Not sure the climax is as good:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
the first one closed with a series of big reveals in which Holmes whips his metaphorical cock out on Blackwood's forehead and leaves him stunned, this one does the same but because the bad guy is Moriarty who no-sells the genius smackdown, the whole move doesn't leave nearly as much of an impact. That said, the fist fight afterwards with Sherlock AND Moriarty talking through their moves lifted the climax a lot.

The Devil's Own Brad Pitt spoke in heavy accent, I don't know if it is fake or not but from your previous post I know you like Brad Pitt movie, so probably you watched that too

Brad Pitt is not Irish, so that accent was fake. I dont really like Brad Pitt all that much, I watched that film because of Harrison Ford.
I tried to watch Anonymous yesterday and got bored after about 10 minutes. Maybe I'm just not in a film watching mood right now

Ip Man - Awesome fight choreography, generally relentless action, but still finds the time to in between fights to make you care at least about our protagonist, for whom the movie is named. Some of hits really have visual impact. I know I had that "That's gotta hurt" feeling several times through it.
8.5/10
Ip Man 2 - The fights are solid and entertaining, but lack that visceral impact the last movie had. Beyond that small quibble, the sequel is definitely a worthy follow-up, hitting nearly all the same marks of the first film.
8/10
I have one shared gripe between both of them, and really most martial arts films and even so broadly as any sort of boss fight tend to share this.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The final takedown of the Big Bad is always so... sudden. The final fights in both the above are pretty intense, but the shift in balance comes with very little visible impact on the foe; hero discerns weakness, takes boss down swiftly. Often I feel like they didn't so much overcome the odds as get lucky on picking out a vulnerability. Which is fine in cases where the hero was never played up as a badass, but in films like Ip Man 2, where he just picks a new spot and wins in under a minute, it just lacks satisfaction.

Haywire 7.5/10 pretty good basic spy movie plot. I really enjoyed the cast. It is always nice to see Gina in a movie.
Underworld: Awakening 8/10 I would go as far is to say that this is the best in the series. Kate looked hot as usual. Good story left it open for another sequel.
Robocop Trilogy - The first movie is still the best in the series.

La Casa Muda
There's a house in the middle of nowhere. Father and Daughter go to restore it and sell it for a friend. Chaos ensues inside the house. Pretty much everything is filmed in a single shot. Scary stuff. Good movie all around.

Stargate - 6/10 I'm surprised. I kinda found this borning which is unlike me. It would have got 5 if it wasent for Kurt "FUCKING" Russell
The Shining - 9/10 Most excellent. Jack Nicholson playing an insane man...What can go wrong? Would have got 10 but Shelly Overten (correct if needed) is annoying.
Tekken: The Motion Picture - 8/10 Me gusta.
And just because I feel like it.
Elfen Lied - 9.9/10 First thing I've ever given a 9.9/10. Would have got a 10/10 but I'm not the kind of person to do that. I know it's not a movie but I thought I'd mention it.

Agreed with your spoiler, although it only applies to the 2nd movie IMO. He was MUCh stronger than the "boss" in the first movie anyway. Now you just need to watch "Ip Man, The Legend is born". It's about his youth and how he learned wing chun. Not the same actor, but he really looks like Donnie Yen. Story is less dramatic, but still pretty good.

American Psycho (2000) - 8/10 Gotta be one of the funniest films I've seen.
Not sure "funny" is the best term but it sure is a masterpiece I saw it sort of recently as well (last year)
--
I saw yesterday - Undisputed 2 and Undisputed 3. Fuckin awesome fighting movie. Realistic looking combat. Definitly in my favorite list now.
Undisputed 2: Georges Iceman Chambers (Micheal jai white - this mothafucka is ripped !!) is an american boxing legend, but he is set up to be sent in prison in Russia where clandestin fights take place. He has to beat the prison Champion Yuri Boyka (Scott Adkins) if he wants to get out of prison. Great fights and that's all we ask to this type of movie. (http://m.blog.hu/mo/mozivandal/image/undisputed/michael%20&%20boyka.jpg) Undisputed 3: Yuri Boyka comes back in the ring, after his fight with Iceman, and participate to an international tournament against other prisonners from prisons from different countries, to prove that "he is the most complete fighter in the world" Prisonners from France - Greece - Brazil - Croatia - America - Russia - Colombia - Korea , are involved.
I personnally prefer Iceman in Undisputed 2 but Undisputed 3 has more fights and more interesting because different fighting styles are involved.

Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (2009) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_Girl_vs._Frankenstein_Girl)
Although i'm not a gore/guro fans, this movie is very enjoyable for me. Lots of funny moments and absurd amount of silly scenes. Even though this movie show excessive amount of bloods, don't worry. The rain of blood scenes is done in a comedic fashion, so those who have weak stomach will pretty much laugh at it instead of feeling queasy.
Okay now for the story: A triangle love story between a human boy, vampire girl and Frankenstein girl. With bloods... lots of it.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead did a pretty good job playing a mentally unstable woman, and her neighbor, who achieved fame by being the dude in Spaceballs who says "You Idiots... you captured their stunt doubles," did a great job switching back and forth between helpful neighbor and potential rapist. Riley Stearns (the director) is lucky he has a wife (Mary) that helps him with his little projects.

Saving Private Ryan- 7/10 Found it to be Kind of over rated. It was good, don't get me wrong, But not as good as i thought it would be.
Evil Dead Trilogy - 9.9/10 Groovy. The one world able to describe the pure awesomness of Evil Dead. Watched 'em all in one night with my best bud. It's hard to impress him but these films actually managed it.
Dawn of The Dead (1978) - 8/10 As good as people say it is. One of the essential Zombies films.
Dawn of The Dead (2004) - 9/10 Gotta be one of the only times I've ever prefered the remake. Ving Rhames was the first win in my book, But the director was a surprise. I've never been a fan of Zack Snyders films. I hate the colour filter in "300" and "Suckerpunch" for example. But his first film, is in fact, his best.
Zardoz - ZARDOZ/10 Possibly the greatest film ever...of all time. The dialouge is incredbly advanced and the acting is incredible. The costumes deserve a special mention. With Sean Connerys incredible outfit for the film and Zardoz' mustache maybe the greatest costume and make up department job of all time.

Final Destination 5 3/10
God this was boring to watch. Wasn't funny, wasn't scary, COMPLETELY PREDICABLE; I even saw the ending coming. That's just sad. The only good thing is that this is the last of these abominations.
Don't Be Afraid of The Dark 6/10
The movie starts out pretty creepy at first, but then I regret ever watching it when the culprits are tiny gremlins with super strength, the ability to operate modern machinery, and can fucking brainwash people. Bullshit. At least the CGI was nice.

Hobo with a Shotgun
Wow. Just... wow. This movie is difficult to describe beyond the obvious title. You just have to watch it to get it. It is incredibly gory, though, so those with weak stomachs need not apply. It's not something I'd watch again, personally, but I don't regret watching it once.
6.5/10, but I mean this in a good way.
Ong Bak 1 - 3
First movie felt a little slow to start up, and the stunt sequences, while impressive, felt out-of-place. That said, holy God the fights are brutal. And really, when you're watching a martial arts flick, that's what counts the most. Also, has basically nothing to do with the other two films aside from Tony Jaa and the title.
Second film was good. I had a little trouble following it, maybe because I wasn't paying enough attention, or maybe because I don't grasp Thai film sensibilities. Either way, I felt like it was my fault, not the movie's. Fights are every bit as brutal, if not more so, than the first.
Third movie was, IMO, the weakest of the three, but that's not really saying much. Not sure if I liked the supernatural element. Ultimately, it brought a satisfying conclusion to the second film, and the fights did not fail to disappoint.
7.5/10, 7.5/10, 7/10 respectively.
Now to decide between Bunraku or Iron Monkey next, or maybe I could try to find that other Ip Man movie. Netflix doesn't have it streaming so I'll have to find it elsewhere...

War Horse
So yeah, I just watched this film. First of all, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL at the last scene. In order to recreate a twilight, they recorded the last part on a day with clouds then slapped a terrible orange filter effect to make it seem like there's a twilight. I'm not kidding, they truly used that to recreate one. Wonderful lazy job. Apart from that, the scene was disappointing, not really what I was expecting. They rushed the end completely.
Also IMO, this film is too unrealistic and too "beautiful", which is something that I personally think it doesn't fit in a war theme movie. For example:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- The horse is completey trapped between barbed wires, covering his entire body. A soldier from each side approach to rescue him. After that, in the next scene, the horse has apparently no injuries apart from one on the leg and has no blood covering him. Is that horse a magical unicorn or what? Though after seeing the movie, maybe it is truly one.
- People sent flying when hit by a grenade (because obviously what a grenade does is to send people flying to then land them dead on the ground).
- People dying from being shot, but you see no indication of bullets hitting them. Kinda like what happens in TV series.
- Censoring an execution in an open field by putting a wonderful thing right at the moment they shoot, then the bodies appearing facing down, which in theory should be the opposite.
- A guy getting hit by that gas grenades that kill you if you touch the gas. The gas hurts his eyes. You would think he turns blind, right? Well no, he can see perfectly on the next scene.
And more examples I could give. Don't take me wrong, the movie was okay. But really, if you're expecting a really good drama, you won't find it in this film. At most it's decent.

The Guard -8/10 My god it's funny. It's about an Irish police man who get's involved with an FBI agent in a case against 3 drug dealers. I'd reccomend it.
Ghost Rider 2 - 4/10 CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP. Only worth watching to make fun of Cage. I hate the new devil. The old one was alot creepier.

Midnight in Paris This movie is so awesome I just can't describe it, script is amazing and well crafted, theme is simple but not stupid, and the characterization is beyond belief. I think I could enjoy it even more if I wasn't the ignorant bastard I am, you'll get me when you watch it. One of -if not the- best Woody Allen movie's I've seen.

It's very much a "leave your brain at the door" kind of movie. If you are against that sort of thing then you will hate it. I was just too busy laughing my ass off and commenting on Michelle Rodriguez's body to care about things like the plot and characters.

This movie is one of the greatest movies of all time to get a laugh if you're into this kind of stuff.
Seriously, Danny Trejo is badass. The girls are super awesome looking, from Michelle Rodriguez to Jessica Alba, to the naked girl at the beginning with her phone (LOL). The catchphrases are awesomely stupid. Steven Seagal plays a bad guy for the first time ever and he's super cool. Love his ending. Love all the stupid little stuff going on in the movie. And of course this scene you just described.
This movie is mandatory for all Mexican citizens. Seriously, you don't fuck with the wrong Mexican !!! :sugoi:

The thing I liked about machete is that the script writers didn't do any research whatsoever, you can clearly see that the spanish dialogue was translated from english ('out of her mind' isn't a common phrase in spanish); because of this none of the mexicans sound like mexicans.

Underworld Awakening
The 4th part of the Underworld Movies, and finally the story from part 2 continues. I dont want to spoil anythign storywise but i recommend to only rent the movie, there are many good action scenes but the story itself is not that interesting and you wont want to see it a 2nd or 3rd time ..its open ended and looks like we see part 5 and 6 sooner or later. The actors are doing a good job in my opinion..kate looks as sexy as usual.

I agree its not a bad movie just really average at best 5/10 ---
The Punisher
This version of the punisher does it for me and it was a good way to start a origin story imo. Ii felt real to me and I enjoyed it for that and that fight scene with the russian was too bad ass. I haven't seen warzone and i don't think I want to. 7/10

Ninja (2009) Rewatched it, pretty good stuff, very nice fightscenes, SCOTT ADKINS and overall I prefer this over Ninja Assassins, the CG blood in that one made me want to barf :/. There was some excellent impaling in this one :D ! 6.5/10
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) I believe Capcom made this shortly after the Van Damme Hollywood abomination, kind-of to say "this is how it should be done you yankee assholes"! And boy they showed them, this still is really one of the better video game movie adaptions, animation or not. And without a doubt the best SF movie made 'til date. 7.5/10
Source Code (2011) Still don't know how it is supposed to work :P But entertaining and exciting movie, Jake Gyllenhaal is really becoming a realiable action movie star (he was great in PoP too), I liked this movie! 7/10
Inglourious Basterds (2009) Um it was OK I guess :ninja: ! Needed more Michael Fassbender though! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/Tracks2000/INDEED.gif) 6.5/10
The Terminal (2004) Also a rewatch, kind of feel-good I think, didn't really bore even with the 2hr runtime and lack of action. 6/10
Real Steal (2011) I watched this with Cy and like I said, emotional scenes have a much greater impact on me :P Robots were also really well done and believable, good stuff ;) 7.5/10

Not a bad movie. I expected a knock off "party" movie. It was funny in some parts and I actually enjoyed it. I watched it because i'd pretty much thought Topher Grace wasn't good for any character except for Eric in That 70's Show. I was wrong.

Made in Guatemala; I thought it was some sort narcoexplotation movie before walking in to the room. Turns out it's mostly an unorthodox father and son story of a hippie parent and his spoiled son, who grew with his narco-token-exwife. It has english subtitles, dunno if I would advise anyone to watch it; it loses quite a bit of charm if you don't speak spanish.

Rurōni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen Rewatched it the other day. Best Kenshin based anime, relating how Kenshin became an assassin and how his youth was. Also relates where his scars come from. Wonderful design and very dramatic experience. A must watch for every Kenshin fan, but it can also be watched by anybody, as you don't need to know the characters before hand to understand the movie. It may even make you want to read the manga afterwards. Grade : 7.5/10

In Time with Mr. Former NSYNC frontman.
The film's premise is fantastic: Time is your currency for everything. You also don't genetically age over 25 years old. The wealthy have nearly 1,000's of years of time for themselves.
However, the execution is merely OK. The plot seems to lose steam about 3/4's of the way through. And Justin Timberlake can't act for shit.
I say 6 out of 10. I'd buy it if it cost 6 bucks.

Kingdom of Heaven : A movie where a young blacksmith becomes a knight at the time of Crusades and shows he's a great "general" by saving the people of Jerusalem. 3 hours movie, but it's worth it. Ridley Scott depicted a very nice atmosphere, characters are well developed, and it's nice to see Orlando Bloom playing well for once. Grade : 7.5/10
Fearless (2006): The (romanced) story of Huo Yuanjia, who instaured Jing Wu (Chin Woo Athletic Association) in China in 1910. Jet Li is great in this role, as usual. Fights are pretty nice, and the use of ropes is acceptable apart from a few times. It's based on a true story, so it adds to the depth of the story. Grade : 7/10

Taboo (directed by Nagisa Ōshima):
samurai period type of movie, with the very not commonly covered subject of homosexuality amongst samurais... excellently directed, touching love story but yeah to some, it will definitely feel like "so it's basically Brokeback Mountain in the Shogun era"
recommended
13 Assassins:
one (if not the) best samurai movie...feels like an old western spaghetti (think "The Wild Bunch" or "The Magnificent Seven") but set in Japan HIGHLY recommended (especially since it's directed by the unique Takashi Miike)

Mommie Dearest (1981)
It was on a classic movie channel. All I can say is WHAT THE FUCK!? That bitch is crazy. And those drawn on eyebrows were creepy... Faye Dunaway did a great job portraying Joan Crawford. For being a 31 year old film, it still held up incredibly well even with its sometime odd pacing throughout the 2nd half.
The story is essentially the tale of Joan Crawford and her adopted two children. On the surface, Joan appears to be the ideal Hollywood mother. Behind the scenes, she is mentally and sometimes physically abusive. Joan pulls shit like beating her daughter with wire hangers.... just because clothing was hung on a wire hanger. Lots of crazy mind games.
Pretty good, the first half drags a bit because of tons of exposition but once that's all out of the way it's really fun.
I'm curious about this one. It's been getting decent reviews. Although many have been complaining about its pacing.

Apollo 18 - 6/10 Pretty decent. Gotta say the Aliens freaked me out a little. Hate how they tried to sell it as the truth.
300 - 3/10 AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHH! OHHHH AHAHAHAH!
Rambo (2008) - 8/10 Borrowed this from my grandmother. Of all people. I thought she was exargerrating when she said it was gory. But she wasen't joking. Gotta say Stallone isent a bad director.
Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 9/10 Me being the big Tarantino fan I am was gonna like this anyway. Its just a stylish revenge flick. But that's some fucking style.

Is this a good or a bad holy hell? I saw it pop up on my recommended list once and made a mental note to check it out sometime, but if it's actually watchable then I might accelerate that timetable a tad.
Anyway.
Iron Monkey (8/10) Y'know how I said in my Ip Man ramble that in a lot of kung fu flicks, the takedown of the Big Bad feels like less skill and more luck? This movie is no exception, but it does it in a satisfying way, thoroughly establishing the Big Bad as a genuine threat to the heroes; none of this three-minute-final-battle shit. Very entertaining movie, very entertaining fights. No real nitpicks.
Bunraku (5.5/10) While ultimately I was entertained, it seemed to drag on unnecessarily at times. Interesting visual style, to say the least. I felt the acting was weak and the final fight was mostly unsatisfying. Worth it for a rainy day, and/or if you're forgiving of acting when it comes to watching people kick each others' asses, but not something you should intentionally set aside time for.

Undisputed 2 Watched this thanks to advice given by Balthazar, who's a Martial Arts movie fan, and likes the American style (which I'm not familiar with at all, being more used to the Asian style). So yeah, scenario is close to zero, but that wasn't what I was looking for. Fights are nice, choregraphies are superb, especially the jump kicks by Scott Adkins. The final fight lacked drama though, and the finish was lame IMO :

The Three Musketers (2011) With Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom, Milla Jagovitch. An original take of one of the most famous stories ever, with some Cyber Punk stuff. I would have prefered if they had completely taken the originality road and not limit their creativity here. Dialogues are cocky at best, can't remember if they were like that in the books. CG are pretty average when you look at the big landscapes in the back of the screen. All in all, it's fine and a modern rendition of an old as fuck story, but could have been much better. Grade : 6.5/10
The Terminal Featuring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones. Viktor comes from Krakhovia and is stuck in JFK terminal because his country doesn't officially exist anymore. He can't enter US soil but can't go back home, so he lives in the airport. You follow his life, the people he meets, how he helps everybody and goes about living there. It's brilliant, funny, moving, and everything is great about it. Grade : 9/10.

Was it me, or did Hunger Games remind you of The Running Man with less Arnold and Stalkers?? I knew nothing going into it, and I walked out liking it. It wasn't bad, and I loved it's take on a utopian society looking at desperate, selected kids killing each other as a spectacle. Good stuff. One of my good buddies also mentioned Battle Royale the other day. I gotta check it out!!
Prior to that: Brokeback Mountain with the Joker.....err, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall. Two manly men track/herd sheep and in the process, realize they have feelings for one another. The story turns into dealing with a forbidden love in the 60's, and how the two of them deal with their struggles in a normal world.
The film is actually quite good. Most people would be like "butt pirates!!" but there's more to the film than that. It's really about hiding your emotions in a society that shuns the idea of homosexuality. And dealing with loss that comes with such a secret.
I give it 8 out of 10 "way hetero" points.

Jason X is enjoyable if only for that one scene in the holodeck with the two girls saying "You wanna get high and have premarital sex? WE LOVE PREMARITAL SEX" to distract cyber Jason
I probably should have rewatched it before i posted that, huh? I can only seem to remember that its bad. I should give it a rewatch sometime

Ong Bak 3 :-\ Terrible pacing, story doesn't make sense, the fighting didn't even interest me anymore and OMG CGI ELEPHANTS! Tony Jaa should keep to the fighting, and stay away from story and screenplay if you ask me! 3/10?

Post by: Valodim on March 28, 2012, 04:40:29 am
Yeah after Ong Bak 2, which was pretty awesome, Ong Bak 3 kinda sucked. When he was injured I joked to my friend "he's going to need physical rehab for like an hour movie-time now". I was not amused when just that happened instead of the trashing of more bozos >_>
I watched Hunger Games, and I gotta say I really expected more for 83% on rottentomatoes.
First it took ages to get to the battle, half an hour going on about sponsors and how important those are and stuff - turns out they aren't. And then most of the battle was just completely ridiculous! "oh she's on a tree what do we do? let's just wait till she comes down, she needs to eat some time doesn't she. oh it's late let ALL FOUR OF US go to sleep RIGHT HERE while SHE IS SLEEPING UP THERE", and also "see we just boobytrapped our ENTIRE SUPPLIES with mines that CHAIN REACT when someone goes near (or otherwise blows one up) and we chill FIVE METERS AWAY FROM THOSE FIREWORKS". the little black girl stuff was way too much emotion for knowing her three days, two of which she was asleep, and the love story was just POOF YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO ME NOW FOR SOME REASON, they spend zero time getting to know each other.
It wasn't bad. If you put it in a Narnia-esque context and consider the target audience (except LOL I BREAK YOUR NECK), it was kinda par for the course. It's also a really good movie if you like being right at inb4.

Ah yes the neckbreak. The only scene in the movie that elicited both gasps and laughs at the same time.
"Manos" The Hands of Fate
I finally got to watch it without MST3K and it actually IS almost unwatchable. Torgo's scenes are still golden, though, and he's the only reason you should watch without Joel and the bots.
Also Rifftrax (the same dudes who did the later MST3K episodes, so they didn't do Manos except for Kevin Murphy) are gonna do a live riff of this in August so mark your calenders, I guess?

Yea it's definitely watchable. I wouldn't say its a good movie but it's not bad either. The movie just surprised me of all the battle scenes and effects they did. It's like a gory power rangers with sexual innuendos. I'm sure navetsea probably watches this movie everyday
Hey! I hate power rangers.
just watched Starship Troopers 3: better than the 2nd, still with poor CGI for bugs and ships unlike the 1st movie, but it starts to get back into watchable movie list after the horrible 2nd movie.

i don't know what is all that damn fuss about this movie, when something like Battle Royal was made 12 years ago with a way better approach
Well, besides the fact that Battle Royale doesn't exactly have the same cultural presence as The Hunger Games (mega popular book series vs cult Japanese movie and also books and comics and whatever), the two aren't really similar besides the whole "kids killing each other" thing (which is a well worn sci-fi trope) I don't know why I'm talking so much about this when I've never even read the books or seen the movie.

I'd pay to hear your commentary about Hunger Games as I agree with you. I saw it with no expectations, so as a film, it was decent. But now that you point that stuff out, it is a smidgen silly. Just stick to The Running Man.
I, however, liked the buildup leading to the battle. It set a good precedent and gave insight to the rich side of society and how that perspective viewed the games. But yeah.... Where the fuck did the sponsors go??

They did give ointment at the right time, but since the time between the burn and the healing was like two minutes, it felt like an excuse to bring in sponsors. Which is kinda ok, but it made the lack of real relevance to other stuff obvious. I assume they play a bigger role in the books. Oh and they sent some soup, which was basically just a way to piggyback in that smartass remark :lugoi:
The society build up served two purposes, first for the sponsors, and second as setup for the sequels, which I guess are about revolution and rebellion against that system. We'll see how that turns out.

Post by: Saikoro on March 28, 2012, 11:00:34 pm
I haven't read any of the books, but judging from what all of my book reading female buddies have told me, there were plenty of sponsor situations that were cut in the film. Also, Lenny "majestic eyeshadow" Kravitz played an even larger part. And that [!!SPOILER!!] eating of the berries within a room scene was different, as was [!!SPOILER!!] the way she obtained her pin.
All of the girlies said the film was faithful to the book. I enjoyed it. I'm also planning to watch Good Morning Vietnam later today. I'll get back with my two cents later.

I liked it, although I couldn't shake the feeling that they were only making this movie to build up to the sequel. There were more than a few plot points that didn't really seem to go anywhere, or were otherwise left unresolved. Also, this movie made me want to beat the fuck out of whoever it was that invented 'shaky cam.'

The Rite (2011)
Well, this was a pretty entertaining movie. It has Anthony Hopkins, so that was a plus. And it kept my interest through the entire thing.
But I don't know how to rate this movie, because it doesn't know what it wants to be at times. Is it a horror film? Or is it a suspenseful thriller?
If it was the latter, then I'd give it an 8/10. (Good, but the main character is much to thick-headed. Crimeny.)
If it was a scary movie, then it's about as scary as wet paint.

Under the Salt (Bajo la Sal. Mexico 2008)
Police thriller about murders in a small town. A detective haunted by his past, a mortician's son who is a horror movie aficionado and a stop-motion animator, a girl trying to escape from her dead end life. It may not sound appealing at first, but the production value, the story and the characters make it work pretty damn well.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fun movie with lots of beautiful moments. Didn't expect Jim Carrey's character to actually be such a downer guy. I went wtf in some parts like for eg.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
When Mary is high from the weed and she kisses the doctor, I was like "ahahaahaha she's so high huehuehue" but then the doctor's wife says she already had him before and I was like "Oooohhhhh. Okay. PLOT."
I gotta agree with the people that said the movie got advertised like a comedy when actually it's so much more than that. But some parts were really funny though.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Kirsten Dunst and the other guy high on weed jumping/dancing on the bed half naked where Jim Carrey is.
Or that part when he's inside his subconscious in his youth years and he has that red cape and calls the other kid stupid lawl. And then he rides his bike. XD

Absolutely. This film fucking rocks. I thought it was going to suck, but on the contrary, it did an amazing job of portraying the feelings and trials/tribulations of an ape. Who was masterfully played by Andy Serkis. Seriously.

Uaggh. It was okay I guess. I can't really like any of the characters or the pace of the movie, it felt like they were trying to copy the style of the comic book and character reactions too. And it felt like they were just trying TOO HARD. I know a lot of people like this movie, but I didn't find it all that interesting really. I don't like Michael Cera's performance here. It had funny bits and the fight scenes were cool though. Can't deny that.

Inglorious Basterds
I fucking love Tarantino's films, and this one is no exception. I like the concept of the story, and liked that he focused on both the Basterds and the NAHTSEEZ. Also, Christopher Waltz deserved every award he got, because seeing Hans Landa is probably the only time I will EVER like a Nazi.
Also, lol Adam Sandler as the Bear Jew would have been so out of place yet hilarious why the fuck did you turn the role down you son of a bitch.
The Departed It was Scorsese. With a bunch of good actors. Obviously there was no way in hell this was going to be bad. The story and acting were really good on everyone's behalf, and that ending was somewhat unexpected. Really enjoyed it.

Terminator Salvation
Finally saw it...was way to busy setting up shop when it came out and completely missed it.
As a fan of all Terminator flicks and hailing T2 as still the best, I guess I could say this one was ok. Better than T3 at least because I really loved the post-apocalyptic atmosphere that they created I guess.
Loved the effects and the battles with numerous different Skynet models, including the T800 later in the end that looked like Arnie back in his prime time. Loved how they brought some old memories like that old GnR tune and the way they would all single-handedly pump their small barrel shotguns.
The movie however felt rushed at parts and the old dusty terminator cliche lines kept coming back...blegh, I wish they would stop doing that.
Just because I'm a huge Terminator fan and I loved the atmosphere of this movie I give it 8/10...Others may have thought it was garbage...its understandable.

The Hunger Games For something so incredibly hyped and lavishly praised, I don't think I've been more underwhelmed by a movie. Action scenes are an indecipherable mess that would make Michael Bay shake his head in derision, character relationships aren't fleshed out enough to provide enough of an impact, every contestant in the Hunger Games that doesn't come from District 12 has zero characterization, there is prevalent lack of danger throughout the entire contest, the titular contest feels so rushed, etc etc etc

you mean rewatch it for the 50th+ time? still one of the best anime ever made, with the best soundtrack ever
Rec: Genesis
what a let down...as a big fan of the first 2 released movies of the series (this one is supposed to be some kind of prequel), it sure doesn't live up to them: weak script, poor acting at some major parts, the link made to the others movies is laughable and the fact that there is sonetimes a comedic feel (that i'm not sure is made on purpose: if so then it fails either way) doesn't help transcending the nice concept they introduced... oh and of course, the camera shaking is gone too, so you end up watching a regular zombi type movie, with all the cliches but without the tension

Cabin in the Woods - 9/10 - everything was great def a fresh take on the horror genre. Even the WTF ending was good. Def worth a see.
Lockout - 7.5/10 - pretty good a little slow in some parts and some of the CG was bad. Other than that it was worth seeing.
Gantz (live action) - 8/10 - I liked this more than I expected. I did kind of miss some of the characters they left out but it was still good.

The Lincoln Lawyer A juridic thriller were a criminal defense attorney accepts to defend a playboy who claims his innocence in a murder. Turns out this easy case is much more complicated than what it seemed. A very good movie if you're into this kind of stuff. Grade : 8/10
The Princess and the Frog The recent Disney version. I like how they set the story in New Orleans. Animations was very nice and the overall art very fine. Definitely a good watch for all cartoon fans. Grade : 7.5/10
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) A realistic thriller about a virtuous soldier who keeps having nightmares of something that happened during war, and can't understand what is real from what is false. Talks about experiences on brains and mind control. Pretty neat, but not exactly what I was waiting for. Grade : 7/10

The Hunger Games It was slow, boring, and the hype for this movie made it out to be amazing when it was actually nothing but talking and hiding in trees. Then there's that totally fake love.
Man on a Ledge It was actually pretty cool. Not the greatest, but definitely worth watching. It's about a man simply trying to get a lot of attention before committing suicide. At least that's what they want you to think.
The Adventures of Tintin As soon as it ended, it became one of my most favorite movies ever. It's like an animated Sherlock Holmes. Only it was a lesser dark but a more adventurous story.

So, this couple gets married, and devil zombie apocalypse ensues during their wedding. At times the movie doesn't take itself seriously, but they definitely took some creative decisions that I enjoyed very much, like a Bride wielding a chainsaw for some intense zombie slaying action.

to me horror is exclusive for supra-natural source let it be spirit, aliens, genetically modified organism or anything that is non explainable by common sense and beyond natural law.
while slasher genre can be part of horror when the violator is from supra-natural origin, if not then it should be categorized in thriller, since Hannibal lecter is nothing more than mortal human, it should not be horror.

The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut
If you ignore the storyboards/pencil tests/etc etc, the animation in this movie is ridiculously beautiful and would've been way ahead of its time if it was, y'know, released when it was supposed to be released. The story itself could use a little work and oftentimes I felt the plot looped around on itself too much (ie: OH ANOTHER SCENE OF THE THIEF STEALING SOMETHING), but if you watch it as more of an experience rather than a story, it's great fun.

I've got a few. Been leaving random movie channels on, so lots of cinema ensued.
RoboCop 2
Compared to the first phenomenal film, this movie sucks. However, by itself, its not too bad. I consider it more of an action comedy. In a nutshell, RoboCop ends up facing his successor in the form of RoboCop 2: Cain. Cain is the main antagonist of the film who is addicted to the drug nuke, and after a showdown where RoboCop nearly kills him, Cain's mind is placed within the robotic innards of RoboCop's aforementioned successor. The film has some high and comical points about corporate takeover, but for Ivan Rietman to go from The Empire Strikes Back to this is disheartening.
Dinner for Schmucks
This film was really cute and well written IMO. Steve Carrell plays a schmuck who makes miniature dioramas of historic instances with... dead mice. Paul Rudd is an investor who is trying to woo investors to work for his firm, and these guys happen to have a yearly dinner with idiots to make fun of them. Steve and his idiot friends think the dinner is a prestigious event. Hilarity ensues. Friendships grow. Mind control happens too!!
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
This film starts out on a rather impressive note: you have J.J. Abrams signature imprint everywhere with a cleverly planned prison escape for Tom Cruise's character. We then learn of a piggybacking issue during a following mission, and thats where all hell breaks loose. And the story falls apart. It's a shame too, because we have plenty of intriguing characters and set pieces that go nowhere. Besides some clever yet over the top action sequences, this one fell flat for me.

Hi I'm Saikoro here's my thorough review of Shaun of the Dead.
Shaun of the Dead
It was very funny and bloody. Shaun is a 29-year-old slacker who works at a dead end job, and his girlfriend dumps him after he forgets to make a dinner reservation for their anniversary. Eventually he resolves to correct these but a zombie outbreak happens! My favorite part is when Shaun, Liz, and Ed all beat up a zombified barkeeper while Queen's hit, "Don't Stop Me Now" plays on the jukebox. The movie has serious moments though, and I teared up a bit when Shaun had to shoot his mom to keep her from coming back as a zombie, and the part where the zombies break into the bar and devour David is probably one of the edgiest moments in zombie movies ever! Definitely worth a watch, especially the bit at the end where Shaun and a zombified Ed are playing Timesplitters 2.

21 Jump Street
I never watch "comedy" movies in theaters, but DAMN that's the most I've laughed in a while :nice: Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum work pretty well together. I laughed my ass off even during the credit roll.
Emergo
Step child of Paranormal Activity, follows the same tradition and style of "Low quality film, documenting stuff". It's only 79 minutes long, but they're not wasting your time - 5 minutes in you're already running into paranormal stuff. I was reluctant to watch it at first , but I was in for a surprise, it's actually quite good.

Transformers 3
I think Bay's Transformers films should actually be called "Seriously??" for part 1, "What the Fuck??" for part 2 and "Seriously, what the FUCK!?" for part three.
Seriously, what the fuck?? The film started off very well with the lunar landing acting as a cover up to find tech from a crashed cybertronian ship. Everything for the first 45 minutes is solid, and you get a sense of hope that this isn't gonna suck. Then Leonard Nemoy's autobot character is revived and the film "transforms" back into the shit that was Transformers 1 and 2. It's a shame too, Shockwave was such a badass in his live action rendition.
I give it a 5 out of 10 only because of an awesome Star Trek reference that Nemoy says towards the end.

howling's wolf doesn't even look like a wolf, they look like hairy bats. I think you should re watch it again because what you remembered as awesome as kid might not be the case when you re watch it again. and the fact that in howling they transformed while having sex in the wood might affect your objectiveness of their transformation.
if something can be remembered as the best transformation scene with classic fx etc, it has to be American Werewolf in London (NOT PARIS)

i'm sorry, i love it and it's full of cheddar which is even better
the "all praised to CGI" is pure bullshit because in 10 years the CGI from Underwold series will look like shit to you or anyone else (because you know, progress ?) you don't agree? watch Blade 1 (last scene) or even that monster in Resident Evil 1: it looks like something anyone can make on their computer...but worst!!
CGI will always be toped and will then eventually look ridiculously bad compared to plain old traditionnal physical FX that are timeless (watch Romero's Day of The Dead/FX by Tom Savini...then watch the shitty CGI gore in Land Of The Dead...ridiculous)
but in the end it's my opinion and in each their own! i myself sure don't take barely average CGI texture/animation for granted: i'm picky as fuck

The gold standard of werewolf transformations is, as Navetsea said, An American Werewolf in London (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9QPouW-XZ4)
The Howling one goes on way too long, and has the main character just stands there for all of it instead of even trying to do anything else.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: kakkoii superhero on May 14, 2012, 05:40:46 am
old/ pre cgi special fx can be better or worse and the same for cgi fx
in howling although the creature looked scary, but imo they don't look like a wolf-man, and they use the pump too much, see how they show inflated and deflated parts, even on the part that should not contains anything that can pulsate like the forehead.
good point of cgi tranformation is steady going forward, and can be shown as a whole body transformation, while old fashioned fx has to be in partial scene, and close ups, and rely on this pulsating fx instead of gradual yet smooth one way transformation.
bad part of cgi is when it involves hair, because it tends to either be too fluffy or too solid.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.

got to agree on the inflated/deflated parts being way too long, that's for sure: the editing wasn't memorable at all :P
god damn that An American Werewolf in London...for some reason, i had completely forgotten about this: kicks The Howling in the nuts, with both feet

Donnie Darko
Man I can't believe I never watched this movie. It's a bit slow paced at the start and might be a bit hard to get into, but once the story starts developing it's really something. Really impressive blend of religion and science. At first I wasn't very impressed with certain characters like for eg. Donnie's mom which seems unfazed at the arguments and all that. But after a while everyone gets their thing going and it's amazing. LOL at that guy with the sunglasses and the orange tracksuit. Drew Barrymore is so cool and Maggie Gyllenhaal is so hot in this movie! <3 It's just a really great, mindbending, magical movie. Man that introduction with the Tears for Fears song. Wow. Good timez.
I also learned about Smurf orgies, the Lifeline, and other amazing things.

I didn't get to watch it, but I remember we had to study Donnie Darko in film class for a film technique it introduced. Dunno what it was, but I think it involved the camera in relation to the scenery to evoke a certain emotion.
As for the CGI thing a few posts up, Edgar Wright's movies do a really good job of 'em, to the point that a lot of things you didn't think were CG really were (ie: a headshot in Shaun of the Dead, a truck's two-way radio getting knocked out of a guy's hand in Hot Fuzz, and snow on rooftops in Scott Pilgrim). I remember a CG artist on Cracked said something like, "A CG artist did a good job if no notices, they did a bad job if someone compliments the special effects."

Movie: Underworld Awakening
This movie was quite disappointing compared to the first two IMO. The plot of...I forget her in character name...Kate Beckingsale(sp?) getting KO'd and then frozen for 12 years was very.... I really don't have the words to describe it... Also, she had a kid while unconscious/frozen...? Micheal only appears in the beginning, but I don't think it was the same actor as the previous movies. Maybe this was the reason he was only in the beginning... I suppose the twist of the Lycans still thriving secretly in the new humanly dominate/"purged" world was sorta cool. Though compared to the others, this movie just seemed to lack a signifcant plot to me. Kate Beckingsale is in it though(sexy >_<) so I guess I didn't mind too much. It's worth a rent/Redbox or whatever else you do. I wouldn't buy it though.

Ignoring the fact that the black bars are hardcoded and that you have to zoom the image a bit so that it fits on a widescreen TV, this one reminded me of why I am a Star Wars fan. I actually got a huge laugh out of the controversial "Han Shot First" scene in its purest form, and the movie just feels a lot more daring without all the edits.

Whether or not this movie really needed to be made is debatable, but it is pretty good for what it is. The acting, the plot, the effects and the designs are all just cheeseball enough in just the right ways to make it enjoyable.

The Hunger Games (second viewing)
It was at my dollar theater and I was bored.
I never realized how shaky the cam was in this movie before, and I almost got motion sickness from it. Also there's just too many problems in the world's structure (In 47 years nobody thought to rebel at the death of one girl? Or for the government to prevent two contestants from simultaneously comitting suicide?) that I really couldn't get into this time. I'd compare this movie to Mao's Great Leap Forward: the objective sounded great on paper but it doesn't take into account how ill-equipped the environment it's supposed to happen in is.
Although I'll probably buy a Team Peeniss shirt for the next movie.

Donnie Darko: classic and thought provoking. Excellent story that makes you ponder about time travel outside of DeLoreans...

Summer Wars In the future, there's a social network called Oz in which everybody is in, where you have an avatar that can do everything you can do IRL (shopping, paying stuff, playing, but also the powers you have in your job). One day, the system gets cracked by an AI and the world turns to chaos because nobody has control over any system anymore. Kenji, the hero of the story, has a mathematical gift, and fights the AI along with the family of a (girl) friend. Very nicely done, with a very original story which is depicted in a beautiful way. It's science-fiction depicted in our present world. The character design is simple but fulfills its job perfectly. The Oz universe is also very well animated and super colorful. A must see if you're into Japanese animation. Grade : 8/10

IMO "A Serbian Film" isnt a bad movie. You just have to stand seeing disturbing stuff. The first time I watched the movie I was a little shocked , too. But the other 2 times I saw it I could enjoy the movie. It has fantastic atmosphere and great pictures.
And afaik the Director used this movie as a Symbol for the warcrimes in ex-yugoslavia

Normally i would agree but in this movie you see very very disgusting things which include pedohelia and nekrophelia. I cant recommend this movie to anyone except really sick people or those who can stand seeing that stuff
IMO "A Serbian Film" isnt a bad movie. You just have to stand seeing disturbing stuff. The first time I watched the movie I was a little shocked , too. But the other 2 times I saw it I could enjoy the movie. It has fantastic atmosphere and great pictures.
And afaik the Director used this movie as a Symbol for the warcrimes in ex-yugoslavia
If you think this movie is too sick and disturbing, then you shoudn't watch "Melancholie der Engel"
Absolutly agreed on everything, what i meant with dont watch it was not because it is poorly made, had bad actors etc, all that is very well done. But the content of the movie is just damn disturbing..after seeing this one i have enough of similar movies and go back to watching really bad zombie flicks instead.

Fight Club
Pretty crazy movie. Didn't expect that ending. I don't really have much to say other than it's an awesome movie, but not for everyone I guess. I never watched a lot of movies where Edward Norton was in, so it's kind of weird but I think that Norton has a really calm and soothing voice as a narrator. I laughed my ass off at the end when I saw the subliminal cock.

Alien vs Ninja
It's exactly what the title says, so leave your brain at the door and enjoy the obscene levels of ridiculousness this movie has to offer. The choreography work in the fight scenes is absolutely amazing, 'specially the final showdown. Also, expect silly some innuendos here and there, because we can't have a complete silly Japanese production without those.

Twilight 1 : Great actors, wonderful story about a girl and a vampire who meet and fall in love at first sight. Great special effects too, and vampires shining in the sun is just too good. :D Grade : 1/10
Twilight 2 : The same thing, now involving werewolves that were modeled in 5 minutes. Grade : 1/10
Twilight 3 : The same thing, now involving more action and fights, but still boring as fuck. At least the actors play a little better. Involves a lame wedding proposal. Grade : 2/10
Twilight 4 : The same thing, but with more LULZ and some pregnancy. It was 4am, bare with me... Grade : 3/10

Dictator
It's a well known fact that I am a huge Sacha Baron Cohen fan because he is funny as hell and because I play a mean Borat in both voice and actions. So it should be a shock that it took me this long to see the movie and not the first showing on opening night.
As expected, I LOVED it. While some of the jokes weren't funny, and some parts were more funny based on the awkward-ness of the scene rather than the jokes, it was overall a laugh-fest that had everyone in the theater dying.
I give it 2 thumbs up out of ten. Very nice.

Did you really watch Borat and Brüno? SBC's movies are all about awkwardness, cultural clash and over the top stereotypes, and not so much about jokes with a lot of thought. 3 Idiots
It's...a rather interesting movie. One moment there's a lighthearted musical act going on, the next there's a suicide college student hanging from the ceiling. It's a movie about 3 engineer students that touches an extremely large amount of subjects, such as school pressure, self achievement, the downfalls of the educative system, suicide and multiple family issues. It's also pretty damn funny.

Prometheus
Story is interesting, answers some questions about Alien and where humans come from, but leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Acting is fine, but not what we'll remember most. What we'll remember are the magnificent special effects, extraordinary buildings/ships/sceneries and the tension that is built during the movie. Clearly not Ridley Scott's best movie, but a must-see at the cinema for the effects (like Avatar). Grade : 7.5/10

At first I hated the real look for the Space Jockey/Engineer/Mala'kak since it contradicts their appearance in previous media.

Also, the Mala'kak Proto Xenomorph appearance contradicts the one from that Alien DS game where the hybrid has a trunk and is MUUUCH larger... but now we know that's just a bio-organic suit.

We were pretty much an unauthorized experiment by a lonely Mala'kak that was abandoned in planet Earth and we've ran out of control with all the technological advancements and genetics.

Snow White and the Huntsman ok, where do I start ? On the plus side : the special effects are really cool, the action scenes are cool (without being great), Charlize Theron is wonderful and plays the queen quite well, and the dark atmosphere makes for a nice remake of this classical tale. On the minus side : this is a comedy more than anything else, but it isn't done with the purpose of being a comedy (see spoiler). Bella from Twilight is shitty as ever, and overall the movie is boring. Grade : 5.5/10 (for the special effects, the atmosphere and Charlize Theron)
A few funny moments and stuff :

- SW comes out of the water after jumping off a cliff, and a white horse is just standing there waiting for her so she can escape guards. Everybody laughed in the cinema. - Like in Twilight, she can't choose between the vampire or the werewolf, but here it's between an archer and a huntsman. - She makes a speech to motivate people to fight with her. Dear God this speech was written by drunk people at 5am. It's hilariously bad! - When a girl dies, the obvious thing to do is kiss her. And two guys do it. Bunch of necrophiles! - 15 years in a jail : she realizes there's a nail in the wall to attack somebody just at the right moment. - 15 years in a jail : finger nails are dirty, but make-up is perfect.

I've been putting off seeing this movie for a while but because I keep seeing RETARDED flamewars on Facebook about Hunger Games ripping it off, I finally picked up a Blu-Ray copy of:
Battle Royale I loved this movie. The deaths are a bit cheesy-looking at times, but the overall mood and presentation definitely sets it apart from others in the genre. Definitely on my movie greats list.
Spoiler: Comparisons to Hunger Games(click to see content)
Didn't read either books for either series, so everything is based on the movies. Bear with me.
Post-Economic-Crash Japan VS Post-Future-War-America. Battle Royale's wins out because... Well they actually explain why the system is what it is.
Justification. Japan has a juvenille crime problem, Ameri-excuse me PANEM is trying to create loyalty.. somehow. BR wins again.
Fight Rules. Highschool aged kids kill each other until only one is left however they can. BR is selected by class (although "transfer students" are allowed), HG is selected at random per district. HG wins on a practical level because that would make EVERYONE a bit more fearful, but BR wins for the psychological mindgames it allows.
Weapons. Kids get a variety of weapons to fight with. HG gives the participants training and drops them all as fair game on the field. BR gives each kid a random weapon with no training. HG gets points for trying to level the playing field, BR gets points for variety (ie: Machine gun in one backpack, a pot cover in another).
Environmental. Both games have set areas to keep people out and fighting each other. BR has hourly Danger Zones that auto-kill people in them. HG kinda just steers them back into the arena. BR wins IMO.
Technology. HG wins solely because BR's gets overcome by a hacker at one point.
Failsafes. BR wins automatically because who cares if someone doesn't win?

Drive (1997) With Mark Dascascos
Goddamn this is one pretty unknown little gem! What a great action movie this was, 90's at their best! Mark Dascascos has some sort of implant in his chest, making him stronger and faster, he is trying to get to LA to sell the thing, but is being chased by the chinese guys (who implanted it in him, it was like a test subject to make the perfect assassin) and their american lackey's, excellent fight cheography and action scenes all around, with some buddy action and humour as well. Thinking about it, this might be the greatest action movie ever, I wonder why this is so unknown? Recommended for action lovers!

John Carter Its no Jawdropper like Avatar was... But the storyline was amazing!, Maybe the bad all the way to worst part was the end, i think instead of leaving people asking for more , they left a dissatisfied viewers with the ending. Ned sucks. But overall, id give it a 8/10.

I saw the last fight on Youtube long time ago when somebody from this site (Maybe K.O.D.) posted the video as an allusion to K's Chain Drive move. That fight was awesome and the music during the last part was great (I never tried to get the OST if the movie EVEN has one). I think I'll try to get the movie now that I have nothing important to download.

I thought it was good. Shame there won't be any sequels because it flopped (the marketing for it was the worst I've ever seen, if anything it actually turned people off)
And as a bonus, the main character spends most of the film shirtless! :D

My last seen movie was: "The Myth" (http://img.filmous.com/static/photos/23442/12961275471_midi.jpg)
Review: I was waiting to see this movie because it is so old, and I can't get it, but thanks to the holy Internet I can found It. I say thet because maybe my opinion could be influenciated by that. The movie is very interesting, about an Archeologist (Jackie Chan) who Dreams about he's and antique Chinese general who cares the princess (Kim Hee Seon) and all the story develops around the Investigations of the archeologist and how it is related whit his past life ;)

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) - 9/10 I have no idea why I watched this...I'm already scared shitless by Freddy before seeing the film and then I'm stupid enough to go watch it? Either way it was good....[size=1pt]I lied about the Freddy thing just so you know....[/size]
3000 Miles To Graceland - 6/10 It combines my 3 fave things Elvis music, sensless slaughter and KURT FUCKIN' RUSSELL. It's the kind of film where you have to just be in the mood for fun, not ready to be super fucking judgemental...oh it has Kevin Costner in it as well...
Urban Legend - 6/10 Not a bad idea. A slasher film based of Urban Legends sounds good and most of the film is great but the ending....jesus christ. Not gonna spoil anything. On the better side of things it has Robert Englund, Brad Dorif and Danialle Harris in it. Not in it for very long but it's still a decent film....[size=3pt]This film made me relise that child actors CAN age[/size]

Prometheus
Finally went to watch it alone last night cuz the wife and friends both said they have "outgrown" the sci-fi genre. fuckers --;
I thought it was great but I felt the last 10 minutes were sort of rushed and somewhat underdeveloped.
I was more pleased with the rest of the movie building up to that point. Awesome movie overall and the visuals were AMAZING.

A Fistful of Dollars I saw it with my father, it was part of the gift I gave him for past Father's Day (past sunday here in Chile) along with the complete Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy (with For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly).

Prometheus
As a whole, I loved the damned thing. Michael Fassbender was awesome and the whole creatiomism theme was fantastic.
The beginnings of the... ahem, "squid" and "crimson zombie" bothered me, but that's just nitpicking. I'm assuming the inevitable directors cut will shed even more light on more backstory.
I seriously tried to make these plot points as vague as possible!!

Planet of the Apes (the original movie)
Sure I guess if you're a purist of the book you'll hate the creative liberties (if you want more accuracy, believe it or not, Tim Burton's remake is the closest), you'll hate this movie, but I have intense nostalgia for it, and watching it again after almost 10 years, it's amazing how good the makeup and effects were back then.
Also Nova is hot and I would totally stowaway on Charlton Heston's ship for the chance to bang her.

Shutter Island didn't grab my attention as much as it should have. Perhaps its because I automatically expect Scorsese to direct nothing but Mafia films. For me, I'll pass. I wasn't too interested even though it was good.
And god man, the SF4 Anime was terrible. It was one of those films where I couldn't wait for it to be over. It's so fucking BORING!! Stick with the absurdity of V or the still amazing original Anime.

The Grey
I honestly did not have high hopes for this film. While I like Liam Neeson (I MEAN WHO DOESN'T, RIGHT?), the very thought of the plot being based around OH NO MY AIRPLANE CRASHED AND NOW WE'RE BEING CHASED BY WOLVES just sounded like a bad time. I only got it because I remember CyberFagster posting something about it.
Boy was I wrong. The acting from Liam Neeson and everyone-who-is-not-Liam Neeson was great, the atmosphere was chilling and fit in very well with the dark mood of the story, and all of the characters got atleast somewhat "fleshed out." *dodges tomatoes*
And, of course, the ending:

Had a double-feature movie night last night. 6 hours in the theater that was partially worth it.
Brave
Simply wonderful. Pixar continues its unbroken streak of making phenomenal movies that aren't about cars. The trailers don't really give away much of the plot, but they really couldn't without giving everything away. Great story, great art direction, great music. Don't miss it.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Sigh... I REALLY wanted to like this movie more than I did. The book was so incredible, and it really could have lent itself so well to the big screen. But they gutted the entire story, removed all of the best elements of the original work, and added in a bunch of dumb, less interesting crap in the interest of turning it into a summer blockbuster. That's to say nothing of the sloppy direction and hackneyed writing.
In short, watch Brave but read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordava3.png[/avatar]I've seen plenty of movies after reading the book, and usually I'm okay with it. I can understand that concessions need to be made when adapting things like that. But here they completely removed almost all of the original plot and rewrote all of the characters to be completely unlike how they were originally portrayed. It's almost as if they made the movie based solely on the title, and ignored literally everything else. Which is a real shame, because the stuff that they cut out would have made a much better movie than the stuff they pulled out of their ass.
But even beyond that, it's not that great of a movie on its own merit. It feels disjointed and forced, fight scenes will randomly happen out of nowhere and end just as abruptly, and it's riddled with sloppy writing and plot holes.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Yups. I saw it and I have to kinda disagree with Person Man (although I only read up to Chapter 4 of the book so far). Is it unfaithful to the source? Yes. Does it have flaws? Yes. It could have been better but I thought it was handled well considering it's a movie where the mission statement* was for Abraham Lincoln to fight vampires while playing it straight. It's not one of the best movies I've seen but it's definitely a good time.
*According to an interview I read from Mary Elizabeth Winstead. To be honest her and Tim Burton's involvement were my main motivations for seeing it. And while I wish she did more in the movie, I liked her character, and Henry should suck the blood out of her hipster sundance movie-making husband so we can go out (Jmorphman I hope you don't mind sharing the bed with her)

Also, I have never seen 2001. I gotta evolve!!

This has been running on HBO recently, and its pretty good. I'm all for the nerd references and the humor that Seth Rogan provides. For a parody about extra terrestrials and how we think to perceive them, I really liked it. And Sigourney Weaver's epic Aliens quote never gets old.

(hi-fives) I think it had to do with two groups of people
- People hearing the title and expecting a tasteless hack 'n' slash comedy. LOL ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND VAMPIRES SO RANDUM LIEK FAMILY GUY - People who read the original book and got mad at the changes (I didn't even finish the third chapter before I saw it and there were A LOT of changes). The book is also meant to be more comical.
So yeah if you go in with one of those mindsets, I can understand if you'd get let down. If you go in with an open mind, it's a great watch (gonna see it again this weekend as well).

This was me, but I also couldn't get past how incredibly poorly handled everything was, even disregarding the lackluster adaptation. Like, everything that had to do with Henry. That was some of the sloppiest crap I've ever seen in a movie

Watched this movie yesterday.
Madagascar 3 (2012): This one is about when they go somewhere in Europe, I believe, to be part of a circus. And that cop women was too tough for them and she wanted to get rid of them very badly; but now she and the other cops are shipped to Madagascar at the ending. :) Pretty much funny and its good.

Not sure if i'm right, the drug used by Lizard to transform himself had a side effect that makes you have "Multiple personalities" or something like that. If my theory is correct, the 2nd movie will have Osbourne/Green Goblin since for one, the silhouette man had that Osbourne madman type voice and maybe, just maybe, he might use that drug to transform himself to Green Goblin.
I dunno. :S

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (Uncut Version)
Holy shit. Don't let the fact that it's the fourth movie in a series turn you off. It is a brutal social commentary on racial warfare and it's guaranteed to make you squirm. Caesar's ending speech is so much more powerful in this version.
Spoiler: why the theatrical version sucks(click to see content)
The theatrical cut gets rid of a lot of blood, spares Governor Breck's life, and Caesar's speech at the end is censored so that he tells the apes to put down their guns and that man should be "dominated with compassion..." After he just killed a shitload of cops and destroyed a bunch of high-rises.
Also not that anyone cares about this series (even my brother-husband only liked the reboot, Rise, and only because James Franco was in it), but:
1 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 5
or if you wanna include the reboots
1 > 4 > Rise > 3 > 2 > 5 > Tim Burton

What do you think was in the drugs the apes inhaled?
How should I know! I've never even seen the movie!
Okay your homework is to watch Planet of the Apes 1-4, extra credit for watching 5, and a full letter grade improvement if you sit through Tim Burton's reboot. THEN after that, watch Rise.

in Rise, the apes get intelligent after inhaling or getting injected with a drug that is meant to treat alzheimer's, although the same drug slowly and painfully kills humans that take it.

Amazing Spiderman It was fine, even though not extraordinary. The 3D scenes were nicely made, the changes to the story are fine to me.

Amazing Spiderman:
i didn't like it a bit: i think they didn't need to introduce it again, the way they did it, as if someone still wonders who is Spiderman anyway; i didn't like the humor in it; visually disappointed; i had expected it to have a darker tone, story and visually wise...IMO it was too soon for a reboot, i still prefer the first Sam Raimi's Spiderman sadly.

The Amazing Spider-Man
not very good
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Everyone raves about Andrew Garfield but I don't think he did a very good job; any scene which required him to do anything other than quip or exchange longing glances at Gwen were embarrassing. The scene where he finds Uncle Ben's body is just awful. What the fuck was up with that yell/scream thing?
That said the chemistry between Garfield and Emma Stone was pretty good
The plot was just bad. So many plot threads are introduced and then just dropped (the guy who shot Uncle Ben, the evil Oscorp executive, etc.) and both Peter and the Dr Conners's motivations are totally nonsensical. Why does Peter decide to become a superhero? He's initially only out for revenge, so he makes a simple mask and only targets people resembling his Uncle's killer. But then midway through his search, he decides to make an elaborate costume (thanks to the help of everyone's favorite search engine Bing!) and make webshooters. He doesn't need those things just to catch the burglar, but he does it anyway because the plot needs him to have those things. As for Conners, why the fuck does he inject himself with the magical lizard juice? Best case scenario, his arm grows back and he suffers no medical problems. How is that gonna change evil Oscorp exec's mind? He's still gonna be all evil and inject the veterans with the green stuff. The only answer for why Conners injected himself is that the movie needed him to become the Lizard and that point. (apparently many of these issues were addressed in deleted scenes but I am not judging the movie as it was shown, not what was filmed and might later be released on DVD)
The score was obnoxious and distracting, pretty much the worst possible outcome for music in a movie. Movie scores should enhance the movie and not distract you from what is going on in the movie. This movie's score fails to do either.
Peter is a real douchebag in the movie, even after Uncle Ben dies. Without a contrast between his behavior before and after Uncle Ben's death, he is presented as being a smug jerk who worries his aunt every night because he can't come up with a half-decent excuse as to why he's out all hours of the night. And then there's the thing where Gwen's dying father asks him to stop dating Gwen because she might be hurt. And then at the end of the movie he's all like "HOO HOO WELL I CAN'T KEEP EVERY PROMISE OH OH OH". Those who have know the comics probably felt the same as I felt; Gwen DIES because of her relationship with Peter. Everything that Captain Stacy feared in the movie came true in the comics, and there is a very real possibilty they will kill Gwen off in this rebooted series. But hey it's ok Peter is totally radical look at his douchey hair and he has a skateboard he is a teenager with attitude!
I feel like there should've been a quick, 5 second shot of Peter pocketing a webbing cartridge or do something to explain why he suddenly has a whole case of webbing cartridges when he's making his webshooters.
The Lizard's design is absolutely terrible. Just god awful.
this movie is doing well and Spider-Man's film rights will never revert to Marvel and that totally sucks >:[

Spider-Man takes off his mask a crazy amount of times. I know people complained about this in the Raimi films but I thought it was justified in those cases. In any case, Spidey demasks at the drop of a hat in this movie. Need to save a kid? TAKE YOUR MASK OFF! Need to look around for a dangerous lizard monster in a high school that is hopefully completely evacuated, but has police surrounding it who may be entering and thus could happen upon you with your mask off? TAKE IT OFF ANYWAY! Captured by police and need to escape? WAIT UNTIL THEY TAKE OFF YOUR MASK! In a climatic final battle with the movie's villain? TAKE YOUR FUCKING MASK OFF! YOU DON'T NEED A REASON!
Spider-Man, in addition to being a douchebag, is kind of a shitty hero. I understand that it's supposed to be showing a young, inexperienced Spidey, but the final showdown with the Lizard and everything leading up to has Spider-Man acting pretty incompetent. He gets captured by the police after being tased (ok good so far), but recovers before Captain Stacy removes his mask. Spidey of course waits until his mask is removed because the plot requires Captain Stacy to learn Spidey's identity at this point. Then he swings off but his leg gets grazed by a bullet, which makes him totally suck at literally everything. He can't climb walls and he can't swing on webs. Fortunatly his webbing seems to be made of aspirin because he is magically no longer in pain once he webs up his wound and no longer sucks at climbing. This brings me to...
That godawful crane sequence. Oh my god. So the foreman, whose kid Spidey saves in the middle of the movie, realizes that Spider-Man has forgotten that he has webshooters and is just running and crawling to Oscorp tower. Forman-man uses his incredible forman powers to prevent his workers from evacuating and instead gets them to move their construction cranes face out from the buildings they're on (the cranes are of course conveniently located and spaced to form a perfect path to the tower) , so Spidey will remember he has web shooters and can get to the tower pretty quickly. I don't even know what the point of this scene was? Showing the citizens of New York uniting to help their new protector? If so it was a pretty terrible job; all it accomplished was to show Spidey as a totally incompetent boob.
The final fight with The Lizard seemed like it was a bad boss fight from a video game. That is NOT a compliment. If not for Captain Stacy (who enters the tower alone for some reason) and those conviently places canisters of liquid nitrogen that were stored on the roof for some reason, all of New York City would've been all scaly. Because Spidey was again totally ineffectual in fighting the Lizard, unable to do anything when fighting him except get slapped around like a red-headed stepchild.
This movie is just not very good; All the bright spots make the bad stuff so much worse. For example, Martin Sheen was so great as Uncle Ben that Andrew Garfield looked like he was in a high school play.
boy this movie is making me so angry

Yeah, something like that. NYC citizens are great people, and they're uniting as great Americans to protect values yadda yadda. But I also suspect it was a reason to make all this web flying scene were he's going from one crane to the other for 2 minutes, and to show off "hey look, I can make 3D scenes!!!". It was damn too long, there was no need to show us Spiderman jumping for 2 minutes. Felt as long as Neo fighting Smith for 45 minutes in Matrix 2.

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ easily won the weekend box office (it helps to open Monday at midnight and have a 6-day opening “weekend”) earning $75 million in it’s first 3 days ($140M total), making it a huge success by any standard.
Unless your standard is the other Spider-Man movies, from the trilogy that ended just 5 years ago, because ‘Spider-Man‘ earned $115 million in it’s first 3 days. ‘Spider-Man 2‘ made $130 million, and ‘Spider-Man 3‘ topped them both with $151 million. The re-boot made $40M less than the lowest one, despite the advantage of higher ticket prices on 3D (which accounted for 44 percent of sales) and IMAX (which accounted for 10 percent).

Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below (星を追う子ども, Hoshi o Ou Kodomo) An anime movie by Makoto Shinkai, the guy behind 5cm per second. Story kinda reminds of a Ghibli movie, especially Spirited Away. Design for some characters too. Graphics and animation are wonderful. Music is nice. Action scenes are very well done. The story is not so original IMO but has a good pace. I didn't like the way several characters acted though, they're decisions didn't make much sense to me, and that kinda distracted from the story. Still, a very nice watch. Grade : 7.5/10

I just bought it AGAIN yesterday on Bluray cuz I fucking love it so much...and for $7.98 + bonus digital copy at walmart it was an epic steal.

Very very very very awesome fucking action/espionage film...my favorite one in the series thus far besides the one by John Woo...but much more intriguing and awesome.

I recently rewatched it for second time. Truly amazing movie. Jet Li vs Donnie Yen was one of best fight scenes I saw, and believe me when I say that I saw many. Best part is that with TOP fight scenes it have really cool story. One thing I didn't liked it they made impression that Broken Sword, who was played by Tony Leung, was such great warrior when in fact he barely have any fighting scenes. I guess Leung isn't really good at fighting stuff so they limited his fighting scenes to most easiest ones.
If you liked Hero you should definitely watch Curse of Golden Flower made by the same director. It's not really about fighting but it's really great drama with complicated story.

The trailer said 90 mins Action. The movie.length = 111 mins , and they where right in the trailer ;D That movie was damn kickass, pure action and butality, fuck the story, I enjoyed it very much. I've watched in in the cinema, the guys behind us where totaly shocked by the violence and talked about bad acting... Who the hell expacts good acting in those kind of movies?

Battle for the Planet of the Apes
On second thought maybe Tim Burton's reboot is better than this. It's really hard to take a film seriously when your antagonist decides to declare war on the protagonists because "it's been geting rather boring, lately." That and obvious money-saving tricks (showing the same house blowing up from different angles) and the fact that the climactic battle consists of three jeeps, two motorcycles, and a school bus speaks VOLUMES about how terrible this movie is. The only good thing about it is that the dude that voiced Gandalf in the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit plays the role of "The Lawgiver."

The human centipede 1-2
Firat one ia not as bad as everyone says. Its a bit crsppy but ita really juat midly gory. I was really disappointed. Now the meta sequel... i liked it alot. I dont want to spoil but if you want to watch gore this is the movie.
Batman rises
This movie was soooo goooood. Bane looked lame but he played his part so well in the story. The twist at the end was good, even though im sure any batman fanatic could have seen it coming.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordpopcorn-1.png[/avatar]Went to a special marathon screening of the entire Dark Knight trilogy last night. 9 solid hours of Batman. Totally worth it.
Batman Beings People tend to forget about this one a lot due to how incredible the sequel was, but it's still an astoundingly well-done movie. Except for freaking Katie Holmes. She's not even all that bad, but the rest of the cast is so brilliant that it makes her lack of talent stick out like a sore thumb.
The Dark Knight Do I even need to say anything about this movie at this point? The answer is no I do not.
The Dark Knight Rises Utterly fantastic. It had a fantastic script, and the entire cast was phenomenal. My only gripe is that it probably could have stood to be a little bit shorter than it was.

The Dark Knigh Rises (thanks Silentfailwhale and no problem: you just didn't have to read the spoilers :P):
exactly as i thought it would be: logical trilogy should have been Batman Begins - The Dark Knight Rises - The Dark Knight!
so many flaws i don't even remember all of them:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- cheesy fight scenes (especially the first one, when Batman gets his ass kicked: no tension at all, looks fake/choreographed) - bad dialogues (one of them being in that last fight scene between Batman and Bane, amongst the cops/criminals, just before they start, with Batman replying to Bane with the cheesiest line ever) - dat scene when Batman is standing on the Tower, looking at the city (meaning he actually climbed on the tower, or even entered the tower to go to the top, during daylight, dressed up...ye right) - after the truck falls down really hard (from a very fast car chase), with Talia inside, we see Commissioner Gordon coming out of the back of the truck (spared, no problem), although he was sharing the place with a fucking huge metal structure that must have at least weighted a tonne... - dat Catwoman/Batman kiss near the end of the movie...when there is less than 2 minutes on the fucking bomb????? WTF - oh speaking about Catwoman: Batman allows you to use his bike...and it seems you have been driving that shit for at least the past 5 years...because you can actually manage to control the wheels spinning in every directions, no matter the situation, no sweat... WTF) - Blake shows up at the construction site, recognizes a dude he saw in the Wall street robbery before, kills him and the other guy too...and then throws the gun away, out of shock...to pick it up less than 30 seconds later, like nothing happened, while speaking on the phone??? WTF - Talia stabs Batman (wow, what a twist in the story btw >.>...)...and then proceeds to a 2min+ speech explaining everything...with the blade still in Batman's back, with him not saying a fucking word???? W T F
i will have to watch it again to remember every little shit Christopher Nolan should have NOT not seen, but gladly, someone saw some of the annoying stuff i saw:
-Bane's end was really anti-climactic. -Why did the League of Shadows keep Gotham hostage for 5 months when they were just gonna blow it up anyway? -If it was so easy for Blake/Robin to deduce Batman's identity, why couldn't anyone else manage it? this, so much... -How did none of the policemen standing in rows get shot? ===> huge army of peeps with automatic weapons and yet, a few cops fall down...WTF -Bale's Batman voice was as bad as ever. ===> this, especially when he's asking Bane to tell him where the trigger is...OMFG!!

Ha!! I never thought of it that way. And Djoulz, very good points in your spoiler. I agree with all of them.
And at least we got the "WHERE IS HE/IT!?" shout. Total fanservice there. ;D
Saw this last night, or about three hours ago, and I loved it. The film had an astounding "feel" to it: It drew you in and kept you attnetive for it's entire length. Simply brilliant on many levels. I'd gladly see it again. Nolan is an amazing director and his work only gets better with each successive film.
And I think I'm one of the few who didn't like the new Spider-Man. IMO, I thought the writing was weak (The film... forgets... elements as if they didn't happen... Spidey, did you forget about your leg towards the end??) and it lacked the charm that Riami's first film contained. Seriously, I almost walked out on it but fell victim to the whole "deer in headlights" syndrome.

Laputa: Castle In The Sky
Rewatched this yesterday, and well damn the charm in these Ghibly movies just comes in buckets. There's just something pure and heartwarming that's not quite there in Disney movies. I also prefer this over Spirited Away since this movie is quite high on action and funny bits as well (sky pirates!). Also the love between the two characters is just so real and pure (since they're both around 12/14 I guess?).

Australia Historical romance story set in Australia (ORLY!!!), with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Realisation is nice, action is good, film is well paced albait a little long, but it lacks originality. Grade : 6.5/10
All Good Things Starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, this movie is inspired by the real life story of an accused murderer. The acting is good, the overall story based on a real story is nice, but some things in the movie don't make sense, and we can't understand the motivations of the main protagonist, even at the end of the movie, which is pretty frustrating. Grade : 5.5/10

Maniac Cop/ Bruce Campbell vs The Maniac Cop - 7/10
An okay 80's horror, My only gripe is that they shoulden't have shown Maniac Cop's face. Just left it to the imagination. A man wearing a police uniform is killing innocent people, Bruce Campbells wife is killed and he is suspected...Not revealing any more.
Terminal Invasion/ Bruce Campbell vs TEH ALIENS - 6/10
Pretty crap in all honesty. The only redeeming factor is Bruce Campbell who has the ability to make any film he's in 14% less shitty. In this one Bruce is a murderer(Never expand on that)who's been arrested, when the cops driving the car fuck up due to coffee, they stop of at an airport where...TEH ALIENS! attack.

The Avengers
What? Don't look at me like that. I avoided seeing this movie for a multitude of reasons, namely a bunch of platonic friends I had were watching the FUCK out of this movie (one girl saw it upwards 20 times, for example) and were basically spamming my Facebook with status updates about how beautiful their asses were, somehow squeezed in how the dynamics between Black Widow and Hawkeye were a better love story than Twilight (huh) and basically doing typical "I'm a geek girl, like me" shit. BUT ENOUGH RANT.
I thought it was okay. The first hour was slow as fuck but it made up for it in the second half. I felt Hulk stole the show multiple times but I'm down with that because he kicks ass. It was entertainment, wouldn't put it on my must-see before you die list, but it was a fun watch.

This was marketed as 'Twilight for boys'. I personally thought it was supposed to be 'the Twilight of alien invader movies'. Which wouldn't ment making aliens 'have perfect abs, dovey eyes and act really really gay'. It was pretty much that.
It was somewhat entertaining, but hardly blew me away. More action and less romantics then Twilight. It was OK. Hold the sequels though.

Black Dynamite (2009) and Dolemite (1975)
Yep, decided to do a little blaxploitation movie session. I found both films most enjoyable, although Black Dynamite gets extra points for how absurd and over-the-top it is. Dolemite, on the other hand, feels more "down-to-earth" (I'm using this expression quite loosely, given how the genre rolls), the plot is more coherent and not all over place like in BD. The banters...Dear God, just hearing the main character talk is enough of a reason to give this movie a chance. Especially when he tells his hilarious stories.
Definitely worth your time.

Jim is awesome and not just in comedy...Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Majestic are both good movies to watch.
Both are one of my favourites. I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 3-4 times and I enjoyed it everytime. I watched Majestic just 1 time but it was really great movie, one of the best I watched. Ttuman Show was also great but very depressing too that's why I'm priably never watch it again... Still Jim proves that comedians can totally rock at dramatic/serious roles.
We have famous comedian in Poland too who madec few dramatic roles, before he got famous for comedy, and I consider them soo much better than his comic roles. But sometimes people like Jim & guy I'm talking about are just stuck in one particular style and they all have to play goofy & stupid roles which makes them famous, but after no one takes them seriously. When you are comedian, audience often think that you are incapable of doing anything else and you making jokes all the time even in reality...

VHS (watch it yesterday night!)
got to admit: i love the whole camera shaking thing ever since Blair Witch introduced it mainstream wise, but now i'm very picky...so here, the movie is in fact a serie of 6 videotaped stories (the "main protagonists" are watching the 5 other videos) about various people in pretty intense situations: some of these stories are nicely put together (i think), some are pretty weak in their execution/script...i did get quite a few creepy and disgusted moment, which was well appreciated!

Just watched. A very funny movie with Danny Trejo as the main protagonist and not so stereotype vengeance seeking "Bad Ass" . The movie is full of stuff we have all seen in other action movies already, i would describe it as a mix of typical terrence hill /bud spencer movie, a bit steven seagal movie, a bit from this and that but a somehow fresh feeling movie which is very enjoyable.
The movie does not try to be great and be a revolution of action movies but is charming and worth to watch. Highly recommended if you want to see a movie without the need to think about the story and just see a guy beat up gangsters and their helpers and being cool while doing it

(https://evbdn.eventbrite.com/s3-s3/eventlogos/4951781/juanofthedead.jpg) Juan of the Dead
After Bad Ass last weekend another nice surprise for me, and my gf who liked the movie too.
Juan of the Dead is a Zombie Movie parody, but on the same time, just like Shaun of the Dead also a horror movie with splatter effects, sad and serious scenes and a very black humor sometimes. The movie was definitive the best zombie movie for me since a good while. There are some scenes very inspired by other movies but in general, Juan of the Dead adds many own ideas to the small genre of Zombie /Splatter/Comedy and is not just a rippoff.
I give it good 8,5 of ten, if you see this movie and you like the movie genres i mentioned above you will probably like this movie a lot. I didnt mention anything of the story with a purpose and i recommend you to watch this movie without knowing anything about its story
Happy weekend, gbk

I love how Norman's sister Courtney totally has the hots for his Neil's body-building brother Mitch, and he keeps ignoring her passes until the very end when she asks him out to see a romantic movie, and he responds "Sounds awesome, I'll bring my boyfriend, he LOVES chick-flicks!" The best part is that he never acts the worn stereotypes you see in other movies, and you would have never guessed it before the reveal.
So yeah this movie also gets a thumbs up for telling all the kids that it's ok2bgay and I'm sure Fred Phelps will picket this movie at some point

The Expendables 2
After watching the first movie I can safely say that in comparison, this one was THE FUCKING BOMB. For some reason they increased the violence and every shot fired in the movie results in massive blood squirting everywhere. Dolph Lundgren steals the show from the start to half the movie imo. But then COMES THE FUCKING CAVALRY and the amount of action movie references and jokes is so huge that your action movie fanboy blood will start pumping till your brain explodes! Seeing Arnie, Willis and Stallone blowing shit up at the same time in the same scene made my day. It's just that awesome. Van Damme's English still sucks massively though. Seriously, if you're a fan of action movies go watch this. It's fucking awesome.

Paranorman - 8.5/10 - Great movie love all of the horror movie references. It was funny, I hope frankenweenie is just as good.
watched these from recombination from here....great films thanks
Undisputed - 6/10 - Pretty good, not my fav in this series but it was still good Undisputed II - 7/10 - It was good to see some character growth from iceman. Liked this one a lot, Scott Adkins impressed me a lot. Undisputed III - 7.5/10 - my favorite in the series. some great fights, the fight choreographer was great.
I really hope a fourth one is made! :)

I am a hardcore fan of everyone in that film and their old movies cuz I grew up watching all of them.

I tried really hard to like the first one but it was really grimmy and weak. I can assure you that ATLEAST the second half of this one is fucking hilarious and full of action. Most of the scenes involving Van Damme are kinda weak, because personally I don't think he plays the villain type well. The only thing I really wanted but I knew wouldn't happen, was fight scenes involving Arnie, Willis and Norris, they only did shooting scenes and stuff ofc.
What made me watch it anyway was the fact that Rotten Tomatoes rated it at around 60% which kept my hopes a bit up. And I wasn't disappointed. It was enjoyable. Watching it at the theater that is.

The Game (1997)

I wasn't expecting anything good out of it since most movie names with this pair of actors in it you hear about when they are good.
This movie caught me by surprise actually and it has a very good plot twist that eventually had me like WTF??? and then just LMAO.
Think Fight Club meets Wall Street if you will.

the 1rst one is by far the better of the 2 (you didn't know what really to expect from the first one, this one, you already knew that it will be the same idea, but pushed to the max at every level...), which is very sad (and that's coming from someone who laughed & liked the first one): imo, they tried to go all out on this one but failed miserably, like adding too much one-liners references which in the end, makes the movie not cheesy/cheddar awesome but corny-as-fuck sucky

Solomon Kane - 5/10 - meh at best.
Freejack - 5/10 such a great cast, it even has Jonathan Banks from breaking bad too. Just was not a great movie, and I normally like cheesy future movies.

Finaly going through all the dvds I have gotten over time. So I'm sure I'll be posting my bad tastes in movies over time.
Napoleon Dynamite: Saw it before but gave it a rewatch. I like this movie and enjoy how goofy it is.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Another movie I have seen before and rewatched. While I did watch the cartoon show when I was younger I never got into it like other kids did, but the movie is more based on the comic if I recall correctly. Thought it was a cool little action movie and the costumes still seem to look great and not age badly to me.

One thing, are there a lot of explosions in The Expendables 2? I mean, I am quite weak with special effects in cinemas, either getting huge headaches or being unable to stand since I lost strenght in my legs, and the more flashy the movie is the worse for me. And in the first one, there were too many explosions, which make it really hard to leave the cinema. So, did they lower the amount of explosions?
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: GOH on August 29, 2012, 07:02:55 pm
The beginning has a bunch. Not as many as in the end of the first movie. After that I don't think there are that many explosions. Just a lot of gunfire and fighting.
Short answer, yes they did lower it.

Chungking Express
I first saw it in a Chinese Film class, and it stood out amongst all the PRC-banned dramas we were watching. I finally picked it up on Blu-Ray and it's on my list of must-see's now.
It's basically two different love stories that transition halfway through the movie, the first is a crime-drama and the second is a goofy romantic comedy. If there's one thing to me that should be considered one of the most beautifully filmed sequences ever, it's Faye dancing to California Dreaming at her restaurant. Just watching it is magical.
Aside from California Dreaming, there's also Faye Wong's cover of The Cranberries single, "Dream," which was wonderfully done.

Red Riding Hood I survived watching 3 Twilight movies in a row, so I could surely survive to this one. Plus, the actress is pretty. :P Special effects are much better than in Twilight. The environment is too "clean" (not enough blood, snow is very white in the village even though people walk on it all the time, it's like a fairy tail), since the movie is aimed at young girls, and the actors play real bad. At least the story is slightly more entertaining than Twilight, and I usually like adaptations of classic stories. Not terrible, but definitely not great. Grade : 5/10
The Ghost Writer A writer is in charge of writing the autobiography of an ex prime minister, after the previous writer died in strange conditions. He takes the job and then realises some things are wrong. As he tries to find the truth, his life becomes more and more in danger. A very nice thriller, with few action (if any), but a lot of suspense and interesting stuff. Grade : 7/10

Love Exposure
very weird japanese movie set in 4 parts. The film starts off with the adventure of some kid trying to bring his dads christian church back in business in japan. When he fails he starts commiting sins so that he can confess to his father and keep his dad's church and pride going. Eventually he meets this group of ninja thugs who dedicate their lives to skillfully taking pictures of womens underwear. They offer him a place and he accepts so he can then confess to his dad that he is a pervert the "ultimate sin" in the hope that it would keep his father's church going.
after all that he falls in love with this girl who is in fact a lesbian and enjoys starting fights with men, she ends up starting a fight with a gang of thugs and is about to get her ass handed to her, he steps in dressed as a woman ,saves her. She falls in love with the woman he is disguised as and dedicates her life to finding this mystery woman that saves her, little did they know that a psychopathic girl from a religious cult called "the church of O" was spying all along. She then interferes in the poor kids life, steals his love interest by posing as the woman that save the lesbian girl, the psycho girl and the lesbian chick have a sexual relationship, the kid sees that this psycho chick is moving in on his love interest and tries to stop her but she ends up fucking up his life royally. and from there the film turns into a soft porn lol. I gotta say some of the lesbian scenes were pretty damn nice. :grin2:

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis were hilarious, as was the overall movie, but it was incredibly poorly structured. They set up a lot of plot points in the first act, but spent the entire second act on gags and shenanigans and forgot all about them. By the time the third act rolled around, they were trying to wrap up a lot of loose ends and conflicts that everyone watching had forgotten were supposed to be happening and the whole thing ended up being a mess.

Ninja Scroll
I'm so so sorry it took me this long to watch it. Some of the clashes between the protagonist and the various big-name baddies could have lasted a little longer, but the overall story was paced very well, and the final boss battle was one of those rare gems for me, going on just long enough with a satisfying conclusion, joining the list of movies I feel have perfectly wrapped boss fights, including Iron Monkey and... uh... nothing else that I can recall at this hour in the morning. I'm picky, sue me.

That's the thing about Hot Fuzz that makes me like it better than Shaun. There's so many quick, subtle jokes in it that repeat viewings can be rewarding and only serve to expand on the film's enjoyability. In Shaun, all the humor was pretty up front. But while all the up front jokes are great and entertaining, the lack of subtle layers makes repeat viewings a pretty... standard experience.
Though there are other reasons I like Hot Fuzz better. Primarily, it's because Hot Fuzz plays it parody as straight as possible, where Shaun can occasionally get a bit... obvious, if that makes any sense. For example... the entire ending post-climax. And the Queen fight sequence. These are both hilarious, but felt to me like they kinda stood out from the rest of film, and not in a good way.

I'm on a Wong Kar-Wai kick, so here's another:
In the Mood for Love
The title sounds like a light-hearted romantic comedy, and if the first Wong Kar-Wai movie you saw was Chungking Express, it would only further that belief. However, it's definitely not either of these. I don't want to give the plot away, but it starts with two neighbors, one man and one woman, in the same apartment complex suspecting that something is unusual about both of their significant others. I can't go much further into the plot, but some of the recurring themes are isolation, loss, regret, and longing. It's amazing how so much is said with so few words, leaving your mind to fill in the blanks.

yeah It renews my dislike toward fixie bike riders, especially the one who purely inspired with this kind of movie, riding a bike without a brake on public road with less than 1% the skill shown by these pros who have been doing it all their live (and still getting killed occasionally)

Margin Call : Story of people working in an investment bank, when they figure out an error in equations is going to lead them to some huge financial crisis. Follows their path during one day. The introduction is really interesting, but not much happens in the end, and it's like the characters are waiting for stuff to happen. Grade : 6/10
Mystic River : Another wonderful Clint Eastwood movie. Three friends had a childhood tragedy when one of them got captured when he was young. Many years later, the 3 men have changed, but circumstances reunites them when the daughter of one of them gets killed. Especially when, looking for the killer, everything points out to the direction of the man who was captured several years earlier. Depressing and moving movie, great pace, great acting, simple story but wonderful realisation. Grade : 8/10

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
It's like a Troma film without the intentional comedy or nudity. Which is to say, ridiculous amounts of glorious violence. Then you throw in basically every kung fu movie cliche in the book. The plot is thin and bad, barely serving the purpose of stringing together fight scenes. But it's a bad movie in a good way. Definitely something worth checking out when you're especially bored.

Cosmopolis:
very slow paced movie in the classic style of the usual David Cronenberg's movies. it is one of the rare time where you can see Robert Pattinson's acting... well, actually the first time where he actually acts for shit, period! story centers on the descent to hell of a young wall street billionaire who spends his day in his office/limo, on his way to a haircut, interacting with several characters along the way.
8/10, Cronenberg at his finest, lurking in the human's condition and mind

Frankenweenie (2012)
It was entertainment. Nothing really amazing but it wasn't terrible. Plus it got props for an (unintentional?) homage to Gamera. I saw it in 2D and it was really awkward because the movie kept making 3D jokes, and a lot of scenes looked to take advantage of 3D gags.
To be honest, and this is probably obvious to everyone, but Tim Burton is really losing his Tim Burton-ness. It's like Laika took over his style of movies and improved it, while Tim Burton just, I dunno, started falling into mediocrity.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The ending is what really brought it down. Sparky dies for a second time and everyone wants to revive him so they set up the cars and rev their engines with jumper cables atrached to Sparky's plugs. Victor gives the signal for them to kill the engines, hugs Sparky, and decides to accept that he's dead, and that he will live on in his heart. If the movie ended like that, it would've been excellent and I would've at least given this movie a 7/10.
THEN HE COMES BACK TO LIFE AND KISSES A GIRL DOG AND THE CREDITS ROLL.
5/10

Halfway through the movie I really questioned myself why I decided to watch it in the first place. Lots of things happen visually, but there's barely any dialogue and it's hard to understand where it's supposed to be going. Then it ends, and the ending is good, so I liked it.
Paranormal Activity 4
As a standalone movie, it has issues. The formula feels stale, and they mistakenly drop the plot twist and climax like 20 minutes before the ending, so after that it's all linear and predictable. But as a PA movie, it's good because the plot finally advances the story from 1 and 2. If you liked the previous ones, can't miss this one.

Psycho (1960)
I watched Birds some time ago so I decided give it a try when it came out in TV, Anthony Perkins delivered really great performance. And famous shower scene it's still creepy after 52 years. If I felt little anxiety during that scene I guess people back in the sixties must found it really scary, Plot and rest of acting was average but considering ,this is one of first movie of it's kind, I guess it was ok. I can understand why it's classic movie & milestone in cinema history.
I'm pretty sure though that Hitchcock made some better movies. For example I watched some time ago modern remake of Dial M for Murder with Michael Douglas & Gwineth Paltrow and it was one of best thrillers i ever watched.
Score for Psycho 7/10
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Jango Hakamichi on October 23, 2012, 02:39:30 am
The shower scene, aside from being incredibly shocking for its content (Janet Leigh, the actress who did the shower scene over the course of several days and was otherwise desensitized to it, saw it in completed form and reportedly stopped showering unless completely necessary, and only after locking her house down completely) also had another twist that was new for its time: killing off the most popular actress minutes into the film.
Nobody would ever think of removing a big celebrity mere minutes in prior to Psycho, as they were usually the heroes that made it to the end of the movie. So basically not only was the content shocking, but it took all the movie-goers out of their comfort zone.
BTW this was homaged in the first Scream, when Drew Barrymore got killed. You could also arguably say it happened in the second Planet of the Apes movie, but that was more because Charlton Heston didn't want to do any more Apes movies.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Jarek Bachanek on October 23, 2012, 02:52:19 am
Haha I read all about this scene and I know about actress "problems" with showers after that movie. I don't blame her. From point of view of someone who watched it in the sixties it must been really scary. It took away feel of being safe from viewver I guess. I saw many homage and parodies of that scene but I never saw shower scene shooted the way Hitchcock did it. I guess it had so big impact that no one dared used same technique because they were afraid of being compared to original.
If what are you saying about fgirst time killing popular acress in beginning of the movie, is true, then it's another reason why Psycho was such important step in cinema and why it's classic.
I feel glad that i watched it. I always try to watch some legendary movies to find out what made them famous and I'm always curious how I recieve old movie from my modern perspective. I also alwats try to feel like viewver from the past and I try to guess how audience from years that movie was made, felt when the seen particular movie for first time. So basically I watch it always from two point of views: modern me and guy from year the movie was made. if I wouldn't do that and I woud judge old movie by modern standard then i guess almpost all would be suck.

That's how it was when I saw Citizen "The Best Movie Ever" Kane. By today's standards the dialogue has a few corny bits, and some serious parts are unintentionally funny ("Gettys, I'm gonna send you to Sing Sing! Sing Sing, Gettys! Sing Sing!"). And the part where he utterly destroys a room was ruined for me because I kept thinking of the final scene in The Room (although apparently, Wiseau threw that in as a reference to Kane).
Then you step back and realize this movie was released in 1941, and suddenly it's amazing. The camerawork, the makeup, the special effects, the nonlinear storytelling... there was nothing like it at the time.
The cynic in me doesn't want to give Kane the honor of #1, but I can't think of anything better.

I quoted your post because it is also used there in that movie where Steven Seagal which at that time a bigger star than Kurt Russel was killed in almost a comedic way by getting stuck at the flexible connector between 2 aeroplanes maybe a joke to his ever growing waistline.
oh I also didn't imply here that Kurt Russel was a new comer when I said Seagal at that time a bigger star, it was because of series of his aikido fueled action movies around that time, when he was a "hot" stuff to watch, unlike his current straight to dvd movies

Charlton Heston originally asked to die in the opening. The studio wouldn't have it, so he "disappeared" in the opening, and reappeared for the ending. Then it was his idea to blow up the Earth because he thought that would end the franchise or at the very least his involvement.
I guess he never thought that three chimps could pull his ship out of the forbidden zone and repair it to work again. But Fox kept good to their word and never called Heston again, and any further appearances in the movies were flashbacks.

Don't leave the series unfinished! Watch the next two (you don't have to watch #5 because that one is terrible, and worse than Tim Burton's remake)
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Basically if you saw the Uncut version of movie #4, Caesar gives a giant speech about how apes will dominate the Earth, then orders some Gorillas to brutally murder Governor Breck. Roll credits the end. The script-writer was asked to write a sequel in the middle of making #4, so he wrote one where humanity is enslaved and tries to rise up against the apes, but Caesar stops them and he orders that all humans have the speech center of their brain removed by surgery. This basically would make the series loop on itself, so #5 would end and loop back to #1.
Then two things fucked that up.
The first is that test audiences FREAKED OUT at the uncut 4th movie so Fox was forced to cut out a lot of violence (it almost got an R Rating for it), and make Caesar spare Breck and talk about how he was gonna dominate "with compassion". Okay so it changes the point of movie #4, that's fine, the writer was going to make changes to show Caesar's decent into madness.
Then the writer got sick and couldn't write, so Fox pulled in a husband-wife duo that never saw an Apes movie before and basically watched all of them back-to-back before writing. Their story brought back the mutants as the enemies (why),had one of the most laughably bad EPIC BATTLE SCENE (wherein they saved money by shooting the same explosion at different angles to look like the battle was bigger than it was), and ended up having a happy ending (a first for the series) where there's hope that they can change the future and apes and humans will live peacefully. When the original writer came back, he was fucking pissed that it happened but most of the movie was shot already, so he couldn't do anything but ask that for the finale, they add a scene where the statue of Caesar cries, which would imply that he knows that this peace will fade.
Of course nobody got it until he outright told people what it meant, and the movie was a piece of shit.

Except the ENTIRE POINT of that sentence was to emphasize that this was unheard of prior to the movie. Your recent post history shows that you botch up chronology or distinctions between weapons or what PETA does etc etc etc, so it is natural to assume that when you quote a sentence that emphasizes why a technique is groundbreaking and you mention some washed-up action star that happened way later, obviously your post is constructed that way, and all of your attempts to say I misinterpreted it look like feeble efforts to keep from admitting that you fucked up.

should I put ellipsis in between? should i carefully cut the quote into two parts? should I cook you porridge? should I hold your hand too? and help you tie your shoelace, did I over estimate you?

The edit I initially referred to was to point out that you trimmed my post to respond to a point as if you were going to counter it. Your statement hinges on me claiming you are altering what I said, which is impossible.
And no, quoting does NOT work like that. Hell, if you had the attention span to read the whole post (it was actually two sentences away lol), you would have found a passage that was perfectly relevant to your post.
And while we're nit-picking quotes...

Shut up Navetsea. Jango is right, you're wrong. Your very first post makes no sense, as you were replying to only one part of the post, not even the one conveying the main idea. What part don't you understand in :
killing off the most popular actress minutes into the film.
Nobody would ever think of removing a big celebrity mere minutes in prior to Psycho, as they were usually the heroes that made it to the end of the movie.
Executive Decision marking the end of Steven Seagal's silverscreen stardom somehow...
killing off the most popular actress minutes into the film. that's why I took an extra effort to quote an extra line from previous paragraph. even keeping the space inbetween intact just to make clear what I want to quote.

Of course many movies killed off popular actors at the beginning, but the point (and only point) of Jango's post was to say nobody did it BEFORE Psycho.

The Straight Story
Unfortunately I didn't get to see the whole thing because it was part of Psychology class, and the teacher only wanted to show the first half.
It's about an elderly man who travels across Iowa on a lawnmower to visit his ill brother in Wisconsin. So far, it's a pretty slow, laid-back film with a few good funny moments. I'd like to see the rest of the film though so I can give it a more complete review. It definitely had a good first impression on me.

I thought Para-Norman was supposed to be similar? I mean it was made by the same people (save for Gaiman)
Paranorman has a few moments like it (ie: Norman's vision during the school play, and one sequence that happens in the last 10 minutes), but it's still a lot more subdued, and the plot takes more precedence (Paranorman has TWO plot twists).
I mean I love both of them, but if I want to watch a good story, Paranorman wins, but if I want to watch a good audio/visual trip, Coraline wins. Paranorman is also something that probably more people could watch and enjoy, while Coraline will probably freak out the unprepared.

It was okay. The video game references don't get obnoxious save for two:

the villains meeting being held in the Pac-Man maze and the Rootbeer Tapper scene
The product placement is far more obnoxious, even if it's played for laughs. Wish I saw it in 2D though, since 3D just really doesn't matter that much to me.

I'm joking, clearly. I thought it was a spectacular movie. It could have easily ended up being a ham-fisted attempt to cash in on something they know nothing about (hay gamers, you like this stuff right?), but you can tell that the people who made it really have an understanding and respect for both video games and the people who play them. All of the character cameos and references are both fun and really well played, but they're smart enough to roll them back as the story gets rolling so that they don't get in the way. The casting was absolutely pitch-perfect as well. Two thumbs up from me. Go see it.

I know I've been making a lot of references to it lately, but I finally got the chance to sit down and watch...
Boss Nigger (1975)
The beginning bits are friggin' hilarious. Surprisingly, Boss Nigger's sidekick Amos is the one who steals the show for his antics (ie: he jails multiple dudes for calling him a "nigger" in public, almost gets raped by a fat Mexican woman, etc etc).
The second half is what I'm going to call the CAD half.
Spoiler: actual spoilers(click to see content)
A Mexican boy named Poncho is trampled to death, Clara Mae is unceremoniously killed, Boss Nigger is shot once in the chest and once in the stomach in the final fight, and it ends with him pretty much dying while Amos puts him in the wagon with Jed Clayton's corpse riding off to another city. Oh yeah and they make a stop by the Mexican family to look at Clara Mae's corpse.
THEN THE CREDITS ROLL AND IT'S THE BOSS NIGGER THEME SONG LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED
So yeah, this movie had its brilliant moments, had hilarious cornball moments, but the ending just totally ruined it.

500 Days of Summer Original and well-handled movie, with ofcourse many parts where you go like 'ah damn I feel ya bro'.
House of Flying Daggers I rewatched this, and it was still very beautiful :neutral: A very good love story with some stunning action cinematography. Highly recommended if you are into asian cinema, also recommended to introduce someone into asian cinema.
The Myth With Jackie Chan. I skimmed it, really. Pretty aweful, to be honest. Jackie Chan + CGI = shit movie. How many times does this have to be proven already (The Tuxedo, The Medallion...actually any movie that starts with 'The' and stars Jackie is not very good, now that I think of it). Well, at least he redeemed himself with Little Big Soldier, I should rewatch that ;) Have to see 1911 as well!

Skyfall
It was good movie. I feel like they wanted mix "old" Bond with "new" Bond that's why the reintroduced some old elements from Franchise. I liked the villian, acting was very good. Some scenes was bit too dark, especially shooting in the Mansion.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Ashton Martin car was cool reference. New Q was okay I guess. He won't beat the old one but all conversations of him with Bond were funny. There is some chemistry in it for sure. I hated forced product placement. I mean since when James Bond drink beer ? It felt out of character, but I guess Heineken paid alot of cash to get their product in the movie. Movie had some cool twist too. I didn't expected to see so much Bond past including his childhood & stuff about parents... I would never expect what Skyfall truly means hahaha. I was very sad to see Judi Dench left franchise. She was awesome as M. And I felt there was so much chemistry & connection she had with Daniel Craig much bigger than she had with Pierce Bronsnan. At least she got proper successor. Raplh Fiennes is awesome actor and he is specialized in playing dark twisted mannipulative characters (don't bring up Voldemort PLEASE).
Anyway it's great movie. I recommend it to watch.
8/10
Fingersmith (2005)
It's two-parts mini series based on the novel by Sarah Waters. It's drama set up in 1861 in England about two girls from different environments. One is lady locked up in her Uncle's Mansion, the other one is thief who's been living on the street. Their fates are crossed when Thieff want's to rob Lady's money & wealth and in order to get them, she become Lady's maid. I don't want to reveal too much but movie is full of twists & turns. Acting is really good, overall feel of XIX century is also there... There is so much resemblance to Charles Dickens stories. I felt his spirot around all time.
Movie may be for female audience but if you fan of Dickens you will like it no matter gender. I loved it and I plan to read novel very soon.

OH GODDAMMIT WALT
The Cabin in the Woods
You know how the usual Missingno glitch in Pokemon Red/Blue works, coding-wise?
Spoiler: long boring coding explanation that is only meant to serve as a metaphor which I will explain anyway without you reading this(click to see content)
Basically when you talk to the old guy in Viridian City, it shows a tutorial on how to catch a Pokemon. For the effect to work, the game temporarily changes your name to "OLD MAN" and changes your sprite. To keep your name data for reference, it's stored in the field that is usually used to determine what Pokemon are in that area. Due to an oversight, this data never gets cleared out after the tutorial, and persists when you fly to another town. Additionally, due to the way the right side of Cinnabar Island is programmed, surfing on it counts as a "land" encounter. So whenever you do this glitch, when you run into a wild Pokemon, the game looks at your name, tries to find a Pokemon, fails, draws data from other parts of the game as a failsafe, shoves them out into an encounter screen, and declares it a Pokemon. And then sometimes your game spazzes out and crashes.
That's what this movie was like. My mind was set to accept certain movie boundaries within the genre, but this movie basically looks outside of that boundary, compiles it, puts it on my screen, then implodes on itself.
I had some scares, I had some (belly) laughs, and it teetered on the fine line between cheesy and serious. I loved it and this is an instant Blu-Ray buy.

House (1977, Japan)
...
What did I just watch? That's not gonna cut it for a review, but I can't really describe it without either giving away some of the cooler moments in the movie, or without making the movie sound boring (it isn't, I literally just sat on the couch in a "holy shit" stasis for like 5 minutes, then me and my visiting uncle were just gushing about how awesome it was for the next 15).
So I guess I'll pull a Sepp and quote the included essay (!) some scholar wrote that came with the movie.
Chuck Stevens, "The Housemaidens" said:
A modern masterpiece of le cinema du WTF?!.... House is a film that must be seen to be believed, and then seen again to believe that you really did see what you think you saw.
Criterion did a really good job with this release, and I hope they do more fun films like this in the future.

I liked it, seemed a little draggy in the middle but had a good follow up. I really liked alfred and Bruce's relationship. you could tell the strain al was getting from Bruce wanting to be batman again.

Guyver: Dark Hero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i2_hkTy9po&feature=related)
So the youtube comments on it led me to believe it was going to be a steaming shitpile. Naturally, with my expectations at rock bottom, I was pleasantly surprised at how not godawful it was. Fantastic suits, decent suit actors for an American tokusatsu, solid fight choreography, plot just good enough to not put you to sleep, acting somewhat better than your average Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode. Plus Solid Snake is the Guyver this time. The comedy is awkward and the third fight has a ridiculous gimmick thrown in, but all things told it's an enjoyable movie.
7/10.
I'm honestly kind of surprised this movie didn't manage to spawn something more where the first one failed, but I guess an adult western audience just wasn't conditioned to accept something like this. I'd bet money this could have gained ground now, what with the first Power Rangers generation being adults and being used to this style of hero.

Alright, time for a Science Fiction JAPANU DOUBLE FEATURE
I was originally gonna watch just one today, but my preorder came in and I had nothing better to do.
Gojira (aka Godzilla for you filthy Gaijin) (the original Japanese version)
I gotta say this movie had me impressed. I was expecting it to be a lot more corny like how we normally associate giant monster movies, but it was much better. At times the special effects were so good, I thought I was watching an actual news clip from 1950 about a monster attacking Japan. I wish the human characters had more development though, because I could barely empathize with them near the end when they were really important.
I can imagine this movie must've been terrifying for Japanese movie-goers when it first came out, especially following WWII.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below
So I finally took a break from watching old Japanese movies and watched something more recent, and wow.
I actually shed manly tears at several parts in this movie. The story was great and offered insights on life and death that I wasn't expecting, and the aesthetics are incredible. If I have a complaint, I was expecting the Arch Angels to do more than what we ended up with, but I doubt the movie would've had the same impact.
It feels like a Hayao Miyazaki movie for an older generation, so I guess people comparing Makoto Shinkai to him is fair. IMO it feels like Miyazaki's movies as of late feel like they're lacking something intangible (Arietty was TERRIBLE to me), and Shinkai picked up the slack in this movie.

Argo
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Well, what to say about this. It's meh, I guess. They spend half the film preparing themselves to rescue those guys, which was incredibly boring, and the other half preparing them so they can escape, and that part was just about getting a miracle at the right moment. It was way too idealistic in some parts too, and the moment when they do manage to make them escape is too exagerated, it doesn't fit at all with how the film was until that moment.
I really don't recommend you to watch it in a big screen, not worth the money, specially when it's really expensive to watch a film on the cinemas. You're better off renting it or watching it for free in TV if they do put it.
Also, is Skyfall really that good? I remember how disappointing Casino Royale was, and I still think Daniel Craig just doesn't fit for the role of James Bond.

Flight
Denzel Washington is so fucking good in this. It's a pretty great movie. I'm so glad Robert Zemeckis made a good, live action movie and not a creepy dead-eyed CGI movie again.
That's not gonna cut it for a review, but I can't really describe it without either giving away some of the cooler moments in the movie, or without making the movie sound boring (it isn't, I literally just sat on the couch in a "holy shit" stasis for like 5 minutes, then me and my visiting uncle were just gushing about how awesome it was for the next 15).
It really is a movie that needs to be seen with other people; I first saw it at a special screening in a theater, and after it ended the entire audience was completely silent for about 15 seconds, paralyzed from the complete insanity they had witnessed.
Gojira (aka Godzilla for you filthy Gaijin) (the original Japanese version)
Isn't Godzilla closer to the Japanese pronunciation anyway?
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Jango Hakamichi on November 19, 2012, 12:08:41 am
It's close. The katakana in the Japanese title screen reads "GOJIRA," so I'm going with that. Although I could call it Godzilla since when Toho made the American Godzilla canon, the species name was "Zilla" because Toho felt America "took the God out of Godzilla." (shrug)
And yes, House is really hard to describe to other people. Really all you can say is "hey check this movie out" and hope they're interested. I'm gonna try trick my bff into a movie night to watch this movie.

Pretty much yeah. I won't review it, as many people did so already. Let's just say the bad guy is brilliant, the action well paced, and the references to old Bond movies are well done. Grade : 7.5/10
Has anybody seen Frankenweenie yet ?
Cabin in the Woods Great horror movies, with its share of comedy. Gotta love how they mocked other horror movies, the last 20 minutes, and all the references. Grade : 8/10
Batman Begins : Such a long time I hadn't watched it. Great movie about the beginning of Batman (DOH) and his training with Ra's al Ghul. And hey, the little boy at the end of the movie is the one playing King Joffrey in Games of Thrones, only with a few years more. :D TDK is still my favourite, but I'm torn apart between BB and TDKR for 2nd place.

How about, "it's kind of like Axe Cop, in that a kid is making all the storyline decisions, and so it is COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE".
but that only really works on people who know Axe Cop... I guess maybe one could get rid of the Axe Cop part and just mention the "director's daughter came up with most of the ideas" and maybe add something about the director never having done a feature film before because he directed ads?

And not doing storyboards ever, and doing special effects he had no idea how they would turn out, and directing the movie because every other director thought they would ruin their careers with it, and...
The fact that the movie single-handedly saved the Japanese film industry and inspired many of today's big directors.

He apparently is in a deleted scene and was in the novel too.
Cabin in the Woods wiki said:
Kevin is described as a quiet, normal-looking person with a small smile on his face who calmly walks through the post-Purge chaos, until he comes across an injured guard and then proceeds to "exsanguinate him in a second." When Dana finds the guard, he appears "untarnished, but Dana had never seen anyone more dead."

The Expendables II _______________________
Much better than the first one by far. Twice as funny, four times as much action. Fight scenes are better, more jokes about the cast's previous works. Willis and Arnie have more screen time, and bigger parts ... the story isn't too bad either. only complaint I have ... (spoiler for those of you who haven't seen it yet ...)

Van Damme and Stalone's fight scene. I'm quite impartial to Van Damme, don't get me wrong I love Rocky, but I always have liked Van Damme better than Stalone ... with this said, it's not the fact Stalone wins, it's the fact Van Damme makes three conections ... two JCVD kicks, and an elbow to the head. Fight was too short IMO, but still ... with that said, the fight was still bad ass and accented very well. Also, Van Damme will apparently be making a return as Claude Vilian, the twin brother to who Expendables II character Jean Vilian, in The Expendables III, set to come out in 2014.

sadly, Luc Besson hasn't directed one great french movie since Nikita...or one great film in general since The Fifth Element: he's producing something ok from time to time at best though.
The Big Blue
depicts the friendship/rivalry between 2 champion divers, based on real-life champions Jacques Mayol & Enzo Maiorca (although it is loosely based on them): absolutely gorgeous cinematography (mostly shot in Greece), beautiful fitting music (as for most Besson's work, made by Eric Serra), very introspective & sometimes surreal: one of my all-time favorite (although it is from 1988 so it might look old for some)

Watched it because Shia Labeouf is one of my favorite actors and Mia Wasikowski...hnng!! The movie was a little normal at first. I was enjoying the scenery until next thing I know they're slitting one of the main characters throats and raping his woman and the response that follows was not a pretty sight (ignoring the rest of the torture, the guys' balls were ripped off). The movie actually gets a little intense from time to time. I even swore revenge had they attacked Mia Wasikowski. Anyways, the movie was about a kid (Shia) trying to get in the business as his brothers basically. Trying to prove his worth in life. Throughout the movie they're always saying how that kids (Shia) brother was invincible and that nothing would ever kill him or his brothers and they go through a lot. So the ending was ironic and yet humane. I'm not really sure how to describe this freaking movie so just deal with what I said. It's worth a watch. 7.5/10.

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978) A kung-fu movie by the Shaw Brothers, featuring Gordon Liu as main protagonist. Wanted to see it after seeing the trilogy in bluray at my local store. Also, this movie (and Shaw Brothers movies generally speaking) were a huge source of inspiration for Tarantino, aka my favourite director (who casted Gordon Liu to play Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill).
I'l just quote Wikipedia for the beginning of the plot :
Quote
A young student named San Te is drawn by his activist teacher into the local rebellion against the Manchu government. The government officials suppress the uprising and liquidate the school, killing friends and family members as well. San Te seeks vengeance. He flees to the Shaolin temple and seeks training in kung fu. Initially the Buddhist monks reject him, since he is an outsider, but the chief abbot takes mercy on the young man and lets him stay. One year later, he begins his martial arts training in the temple's 35 chambers and advances more rapidly than any previous student.
So yeah, classic martial arts movie. Has aged pretty well and is overall really great. :) Grade : 7.5/10

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Criterion Collection Blu-Ray)
Wow. I think this movie transcends throwaway entertainment and just turns into a stream of conciousness. It's beautiful in that regard. This might my new favorite Johnny Depp role. And is it just me or did I see a lot of what would become Jack Sparrow?
After watching the trailer, I can kinda see why the movie bombed though. It was being advertised as some sort of zany buddy movie, when it isn't that at all. It feels like a statement on what America has become, and it still feels relevant today in my opinion. I just wanted to add this release has three commentary tracks. Track One is Terry Gilliam, the director. No surprise there. Track Two is the actors, Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, and the producer. Again, that's expected. Track Three is... Hunter S. Thompson?! HOLY SHIT.

If you're a fan of the movie, you should definitely get it in this edition instead of Universal's release. Aside from the picture and sound quality being better (and the aforementioned commentary), there's shitloads of stuff that you don't even know you want but it's awesome. I'm still going through 'em all. Plus I think it's only like $5 more on Amazon, so there's really no contest.
IIRC the only the the Universal release has over the Criterion one is the theatrical trailer as a special feature, but fuck that noise.

In Time The concept was interesting, sadly you just can't Timberlake as a badass, and the story doesn't help.
You forgot to add that the movie is 3 hours long. Usually this isn't that bad but man. I held fast-forward for like ten minutes and it just didn't end --;

Rise of the Guardians
Was meant to see Life of Pi, but due to a mistake in time schedules, ended up going to this. Was quite enjoyable. It's the tale of how traditions keep children of the future hopeful, and how the personifications of such traditions work to defend the children's innocence.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas WITH HUNTER S. THOMPSON COMMENTARY (Criterion Collection)
Yes this needed its own review.
Well, at least you're not alone. Hunter actually had an assistant and a few others that would sometimes call in on a phone to moderate him and ask him questions. So really the commentary ends up being an interview with a lot of tangents here and there.
Some highlights:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Thompson getting pissed off at Johnny Depp for the scene where he throws change at the dwarf waiter.
Thompson shouting "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" at random intervals
He talks about kids being stupid video-game players that should put the controller down and read the Bible
One of the producers vehemently defending Universal's marketing strategy only for Thompson to shoot her down and tell her how the movie should've been marketed (and that it should've opened in MORE theaters)
Thompson calling random people involved in the movie (ie Del Toro, Depp, etc) and leaving voicemails wherein he calls them "bastards" and accuses them of purposefully avoiding him.
It was great.

Thank you, I thought it was shit, and I stayed away from it, but I'll take your word for it and give it a chance.
Juan de los Muertos. Pure awesomeness, this is the funniest zombie flick I've ever watched.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005)
I Finally watched it. After watching Oldboy which I consider as MASTERPIECE and one of best movies of my life and watching decent Sympathy for Mr Vengeance it was time to complete Park Chan-wook "Vengeance" Trillogy.
Movie was really great. It tell story of woman who spend 15 years in prison for kidnapping & killing 6 years old boy, which she didn't really commit. Her teacher was real killer and once she is out she plotted revenge agaist him. And Oh boy I never ever would guess what kind of revenge it would be:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
She hunted the guy using her former prison mates, then one of them put sleep pil on to his food and he was chaned to the chair. Then Main heroine tortured him, and whe she discovered he kidnapped & killed more children after she went to prison, she tracked families of the victims, she gathered them in one room. Then she showed them tapes of their childrem that teacher recorded, while he killed them. She gave them choice: they give him up to the police or get revenge at him. The decided for revenge & after that each family was left alone with teacher (wjo was tied to the chair all time). Families tortured him without killing him. When it was done main heroine killed him by shot in the head. Then they chopped him to pieces and disposed the body
Story is presented in confusing way but I loved it because I was able to piece it together by myself. There was some brutality too but it wasn't that hard as it was in Oldboy. Story was not that complex either. Still only koreans would create that kind of story. Guy who created both Oldboy & Sympathy for Lady Venageance must be genious & insane at the same time. It was one of the best movies I've seen. Acting was top-notch as usual in korean movies.
I loved how Park Chan-wook made all three movies completely different from each other yet somewhat similar because of topic subject. It's like he showed diffrent sides of Vengeance in each movie.
My score for all three movies:
Oldboy 10/10 Sympathy for Lady Vengeance 9/10 Sympathy for Mr Vengeance 7/10

That show is actually where several prominent jokes from Shaun of the Dead come from. Namely:
- Tim (Simon Pegg) hallucinating that he's fighting off zombies in one episode - The "dogs can't look up" thing. - The "he's not my boyfriend" bit, although Simon and Edgar admitted they forgot they already put that joke in Spaced.

Ah okay but it's really true. I've watched couple of korean movies during last year or two. All of it were thrillers, horrors and sme dramas. Everytime the story was twisted and unexpected so much that I lost words literally. They way they do evil characters is so good. It's beyond being psychopath. There are alot of violence but not that kind of violence which is present just to please the viewer (like often it is in american movies), most of the time all that cruelty is understable and that is amazing.
Everytime when I watch korean thriller I see things I never see in any other movie. I only wish more people would watch some of them...
BTW I heard rumors about making Oldboy remake in US and I can't imagine how they will pull that off. Awesome way to ruin good story... I hope it doesn't happen

Infernal Affairs (Korean movie) was remade by Scorcese into The Departed. Both of them are really good and interesting in their own way. The realisation and atmosphere is completely different in both movies, but they're both awesome.
And I still think Japanese are crazier than Koreans when it comes to movies, in the "WTF style" that is. Bonus : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39YdlwtCtbE

The Looper I thought it was a dark and depressing movie. And it was a damn good one. The ending, at first, was unknown to me, but about halfway through I realized what had to be done. I had hoped for some kind of

Life of Pi.
It's been so long since I left the cinema completely satisfied. It has, unfortunately, a really slow start, but once all the events start, it's amazing. I really like it, specially at how hard Pi tries to survive with that tiger near him all the time. I also like how, at the end, you can decide what really happened during the whole thing. I obviously decided that Tiger End happened.

Yeah Looper was centrainly awesome. I got uprised by the ending, but yeah you are right it had to be done this way... It's cool that they didn't go deeper into time-travel thing. Because of that movie didn't have any plot flaws as many of these time travel movie have...
It was also very cool how they make Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis look alike to each other. I heard they casted Levitt because he looked likew younger Willis lol. Anyway it's really nice movie. Recently many sci-fi movies were crap so this one is good suprise.
Sin City (2005)
I rewatched Sin City yesterday for second time. My first time was 6-7 years ago so it felt kinda like new movie to me. Loved every second of it. Proably one of the best comic adaptation in the world. Every aspect of movie was great and I enjoyed it as much i did for the first time. I'm really hyped for Sin City 2 now but it's shame we had to wait for it so long. If they could make it 2-3 years after the first movie then we could see Brittanny Murphy & Michael Clarke Duncan in it....
Now role of Manute is re-casted. It's such a shame.... They should made it this movie was sooner so all of cast (except Bruce Willis) could be present there...

also kinda funny when you realize lee is treated as a throwaway comic relief character when, if you get the mishimas involved, he is actually largely important

I recently watched Skyfall. Finally!! The film was equally elegant and awesome for many reasons, including all of the nods to past Bond films, Daniel Craig's badassery, its excellent action sequences and sexy as fuck style. Sam Mendez really knows his shit. And that opening theme... Thank you Adelle. I want to marry your voice.

It was damn worth the wait. I felt even more glued to the screen than with LotR. I guess that's the charm of The Hobbit: it has a strong fairy tale vibe as opposed to it's successor, which makes the experience exceptional in it's own way. Here's hoping the second part keeps up the quality, though with Peter Jackson involved, I have no reason to doubt it.

The Hobbit
Lotsa 3D at half the FPS. I'm sure if you're a fan of the books or the previous movies you'll enjoy it. It's exactly what you'd expect from the franchise and Jackson.
Spoiler: But since I'm not a fan(click to see content)
It felt very slow (my wife tried to get out of the movie theater, I begged her to stay because we were watching it with my friends), lacks action, it's very campy, it's hard to have things make sense by themsleves like why Gandalf disappears at key moments.
TO ME it feels lifeless like a George Lucas Prequel Trilogy movie. They are banking on the fact that it's a trilogy and that YOU LOVE IT, so you won't criticize how badly paced this movie is a standalone ticket value. You won't believe how the CLIMAX of the movie is a scene with DIALOGUE well a 100 minutes into the movie.

Lorenzo's Oil
Now THAT is a movie alright. Heavy real life drama. Hated Nick Nolte's acting, but loved Susan Sarandon's as well as the little Boy playing Lorenzo. Good, heart warming movie about tenacity, and never losing hope.
My Sister's Keeper
Hated Cameron Diaz's character, which means ... her acting was good (?). The movie is hard to swallow, with so much pain the family is going through. Dramarama. I'm reading critics hated it for being such an obvious, in-your-face tearfest, but it works :qq:

Child's Play (1988) Still a very good movie imo, could be nostalgica playing along. I never really watched Friday the 13th or Halloween, but I saw this back in the day, and I still like it a lot. And I had (and still have) such a huge crush on the mother. Well, a mother-crush, if you know what I mean. A serial killer (with voodoo skills) is gunned down by a cop after a run-and-gun, and as a last-ditch effort, transfers his soul into a 'Good Guy' doll (the shoot-out ends in a toy store) with a voodoo chant. The doll then comes in the posession of a 6-year old boy. But, having sworn revenge on the cop that killed him, and his partner that abandoned him, soon his killing-blood starts to boil. Recommended if you are into these kind of films, at least for me it'll always have a special place in my heart.
Seed of Chucky (2004) 4 movies later, this is what has become of the series. The opening scene was very good, but pretty quick after that the movie went downhill, with only good scene here and there. Still, it was more enjoyable then what I could remember. If you want to know how bad it is; it has a rapper playing himself. And Jennifer Tilly playing herself. I mainly watched it for the animatronics work, that has improved a lot over the course of the five films.
It sounds crazy, but they are in fact making both a sequel (Curse of Chucky) AND a remake (Child's Play, 2014). Got that? A sequel (6th in the series, direct to video 2013) AND a remake (which is going to go back to it's horror/dispense roots, supposidly even darker-toned)...I'll probably find myself watching the both of them.

I loved the movie. It was proably best Almodovar movie since "Open Your Eyes" (I liked "Tie Me Up" too). It was so suprising & fun that I readed book thsat was source of the movie. It was great read but movie was little better. Almodovar added many elements & enhanced/changed story a bit. I liked book ending bette though.

In the book, girl (?) decided to stay with doctor. He huminiated her out of hatred so much, but later he realized it's gone. She was kidnapped by some guy, and Doctor resued her and he (or she) shoot him. When Doctor realized he don't hate the girl, it brokened him up. She could do whatever she wants, kill him, run away etc. Instead she decided to stay with him. At least that's what's implied in last sentences.

Big fan of Requiem for a Dream here too, or any of Aronofsky's films for that matter.
Also, that ending for "The skin..." sounds very plausible too. Too bad they explored the actions and reasons behind it all in such depth that there would be no more time to explore that last twist. Actually deep down I thought that's where they were going to go, but the "But you promised!" -> "I lied" bit was perfectly understandable, given the flow of the story.

in the sad/depressing but must-see movie, Y Tu Mama Tambien is one that touched me a lot: a road trip full of joy between 2 best friend and a woman, which turns into a fucking tears flood! in my top 10 of saddest movies for sure (i think i already mentioned it before but just in case)

Speaking of that pair (Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna), I just watched "Casa de mi Padre" with them, and starring Will Ferrell. LOL is all I'll say :beam:

The Hobbit
I actually searched for a theater that WASN'T upgraded for 48fps to see the movie.
The first 2/3 of the movie were way too slow and all the extra tangents and characters put me off, but the last 1/3 was god-like.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I liked how Thorin has a rival in this iteration, that being the white orc. Bilbo was great. Gollum was worth the price of admission alone.
I didn't care for Sarumon and Galadriel's wink-wink nudge-nudge appearances though, nor did I care about the mushroom-eating Brown Wizard whose name I don't remember, or the whole "Necromancer" bit.

Spoiler: Response to Jango's spoiler comments(click to see content)
I think the Necromancer bit is hella relevant for the future, even if they were unable to convey ANY importance about it in this movie, even if it granted an appearance of the Brown Wizard (when he didn't actually appear in the book)
Also, agreed about the Gollum scene, that alone is pretty much the admission price alone. Like I already said above, though, it's hard to believe how prety much the PEAK of the movie is a scene with DIALOGUE well a 100 minutes into the movie.
This movie makes me wish it was actually Guillermo Del Toro who made it, as Philippa Boyens said herself (http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/12/07/philippa-boyens-del-toros-hobbit-would-have-been-amazing/) :-/

I liked the stuff with Bilbo in the beginning. But all the tangents were definitely unneeded and made the movie bloated, and you could see the seams where they stitched it in. But Radagast was fun I guess. I dunno.

I think I'll reserve the Hobbit for a Redbox or Netflix rental/view. And isn't the Hobbit a Trilogy??
Safety not Guaranteed
I finally got around to checking this last night on demand. The film was very well done on the character development/personal struggle side of things, even if the story itself began to fall flat towards the end. Lots of gaming/film references and good writing with excellent humor made this one enjoyable. I'd purchase it, because sundance festival type films are awesome.

Wreck It Ralph
There's one thing that truly stands outs in this movie: it really has that videogame atmosphere in every stage; From the generic, gritty scifi FPS world from the Samus-Masterchief-Jane Lynch mashup character to the sweet and colorful loliland of candies, karts and jpop.
The videogame references don't feel shoehorned and they aren't obstructive to the plot at any point (think of family guy), and some of them are fairly funny, like the SFII bonus stage.
The characters and the plot aren't too memorable, but they aren't too shabby either. Vanellope pretty much steals the spotlight, for better or worse. Go watch this movie.

- Why did the programmers for Heroes Duty code a replicating virus into the game for the bugs when most lightgun games (or at least the ones I played) keep the enemies on a preset track? - I still don't entirely get how Turbo got into Sugar Rush without blowing his cover, and I groaned at the "stealing everyone's memories" thing. It was cool for the narrative though, even if you probably saw it coming a mile away. - And no, Penelope, you are not going to be loved by kids everywhere, you are going to be loved by trolls that exploit the shit out of your glitches

The first movie in Robert Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy. I remember watching this movie for the first time many years ago, so I decided to relive this classic. Pretty damn good movie considering the amateur-feel and the low budget.

Title: DJANGO - Greatest Movie of 2012 BY FAR!!!
Post by: hjk on December 28, 2012, 06:29:47 pm
Unlike most, I was pretty disappointed with Batman and found Les Miserables unidentifiable, but then there was the gem named Django!!!!
I went to the movie knowing nothing about it except that I've tended to dislike Tarantino and Jamie Foxx. I will tell you now, however, that this film was the icing atop my hopeful Christmas cake. The ads don't do it justice - and I'm saying that having seen the movie before knowing that the ads existed. When I tell you that this movie was funny, I mean that it was extremely funny. When I say that it was believable, I mean that it was beyond comparison in that regard (save the classic Tarantino scenes). I cannot remember the last time I had been so enamored with a film since seeing City of God, Saw (2004), and Batman Begins.
I'll admit that the exposition was a bit weak, but when the story gets going, it does not stop!! I refuse to spoil the movie, but the bone-chilling story coupled with the performances by Christoph Waltz and Leonardo Dicaprio, and even Jamie Foxx made the damn thing perfect! Let me reiterate, the advertisements do the movie no justice. It was BY FAR, the greatest film of 2012; end of story.
Rating: 9.3/10 - Phenomenal!!!

12 Angry Men
I love how simplistic the movie set is (the majority of the movie takes place in a room with a table and twelve chairs), yet how complex the situation is. The conflict is extremely convincing and it shows the dynamics of how prejudices can cloud judgement and how people act under pressure.
I will say, though, that the first time I saw Henry Fonda in a movie was in Yours, Mine, and Ours so no matter how tense it got, I kept thinking of him as his character in that movie (a father of 10 kids, marries a woman with 8, tries to make it work).
9/10
Spoiler: story time(click to see content)
I remember K.O.D. being on an old American movie kick a while back and telling me to watch this, but then I forgot about it.
Then I picked this movie out at B&N's Criterion Collection Blu-Rays at random to punk my friend who only watches romantic comedies for her belated Christmas present (I actually got her a Chrono Trigger shirt from Fangamer, and the hardcover color version of Scott Pilgrim vol.1), and was going to return it after she left. But at dinner, she asked to look at it, and she was like "this actually looks pretty cool, where do you find this stuff?" And I was like, "Oh, I have some friends online who watch movies and we just kinda try stuff out together."
Then I remembered Ninja_Naru-I mean K.O.D.'s recommendation and I took it home and watched it and now it's on my list of greats. Go figure.

the storytelling and the pacing are that of a second grader reading their writing out loud in monotone
the makers have the nerve to be comfortable with shoehorning mundane scenes at arbitrary occasions, as if to rest you from the very memorable and very strong presence of the soundly established characters
as if that wasn't enough, it kept flinging needless alterations everywhere at the story, so that even if you've read the book it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth

The leads (Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx) did a great job. The script was alright. The only thing I feel that held it back was the plot and it's whole direction, since it felt like it was going back and forth not really exploring itself as much as it could have. Still, it's a pretty good flick in my book. 8.5/10

The Secret of Kells
Wow. This movie is probably one of the most beautiful movies I've seen. The animation is so smooth yet unpredictable, turning the movie into a sort of stream of conciousness. The Irish folk music really adds to this entire atmosphere. I guess if I could make a comparison, I'd say it would be like if Okami was a movie and was set in Ireland (and hey, there's even a female white wolf as a main character!).
In terms of plot, well it's a bit bare bones (every official trailer I found of this movie basically sums up the entire thing), but it was decent and I liked the concept of how knowledge should be shared rather than protected.
Definitely a must-watch. It's not too deep story-wise, but the aesthetics actually make it unforgettable.

True Grit A western by the Coen brothers, where a 14yo girl whose father's been killed hires a bounty hunter to kill the murderer. They ride together, along with a Texas Ranger. Good movie, well paced, nice dialogues, cool ending. Grade : 7/10
Le Dîner de Cons (The Dinner Game) Classical French comedy, adaptation of a theater play. Too much going on, but it has many cult replicas which people use now in real life. I have no idea if this movie, with the puns, would turn out as good in English though. Grade : 9/10
Aliens The most action packed movie of the Alien quadrilogy. Saw the 1990 Special Edition, with 25 additional minutes of stress. Has aged marvelously well, and is still scary as shit. Special effects have aged really well, and even though the movie needs one hour to really start, the stress then escalates to the Alien Queen climax! Grade : 8.5/10
Get the Gringo Recent movie with Mel Gibson, where an American criminal is in a Mexican prison (more like a little city) and survives thanks to the help of a young Mexican boy. Pretty interesting story, even though not entirely believable. Grade : 7/10

About the additional Aliens footage (which was released in 1992 and not 1990, with 17min and not 25min :P) :
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Quote
A "Special Edition" of Aliens was released in 1992 on laserdisc and VHS that restored seventeen minutes of deleted footage. These additions include a segment showing Newt's family first encountering the derelict spacecraft on LV-426, Ripley learning that her daughter died during the years she was in hypersleep, a scene in the operations building in which the Marines use sentry guns against the Aliens, and several extended dialogue scenes between Ripley and the Marines. These scenes had been deleted from the original theatrical release as 20th Century Fox representatives thought the film was showing "too much nothing" and spent an unnecessary amount of time building suspense.
Most of the Special Edition's footage was first seen when the film made its broadcast television debut on CBS in 1989, but two additional sequences concerning Burke's transmission to the colony about the derelict, and the Jorden family's subsequent discovery of the same, were added to the initial Laserdisc release. According to Cameron, the visual effects for the scene were incomplete, so he went back to the Skotak brothers and had them finish the sequences. All currently available versions of the Special Edition contain these scenes.
The special edition was released as part of The Alien Legacy 20th Anniversary Edition DVD box set in 1999 along with Alien, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection. Both the theatrical version and the special edition were released again in 2003 as part of the Alien Quadrilogy DVD box set along with similar versions of Alien, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection. A separate two-disc "Special Collector's Edition" DVD of Aliens was released on January 6, 2004, containing the same material as the two Aliens discs in the Quadrilogy set. Additional content in these versions included an audio commentary for the special edition featuring director James Cameron, producer Gale Hurd, special effects artists and crew members. The second disc included special features relating to pre-production, production, and post-production.
I have all the movies and I should probably bonk myself for not having watched Prometheus yet. :x
Go back to your basement and don't come out before having watched it. Additionally, rewatch Alien 1 before so you get the references better. Finally, laugh at the special FXs from Alien 1, with the ship computers, when compared to those in Prometheus. ;P

True Grit is fantastic and what do you mean it lacks originality it's a Western and it's been made into a movie before and even so it's still pretty original and great and awesome and Jeff Bridges is amazing and so is Hailee Steinfeld and when is she gonna be in another movie oh she'll be Petra in Ender's Game huh interesting and I hate you.
Spoiler: Aliens additional footage discussion (does this even need spoilers IDK)(click to see content)
The sentry gun scene is fantastic and really ups the tension, I don't know why it was cut. Ripley learning about her daughter's death helps with the theme of motherhood and is one of the reasons Ripley is so protective of Newt, but I don't know if it's essential. The scene where Newt's family finds the derelict is cool and all but I think it detracts from the pacing a lot.

What got me, recently, about No Country was the fact that the actor who played "Sugar" (did I get that right??) is the same actor who played the villain in Skyfall. That's acting.
One of my favorite Cohen Brothers films is Raisin Arizona. I've seen that movie countless times and it still cracks me up. It's overall a very good film with great writing, humor, and actors to make it all come together IMO. Oh, and plenty of awesome dialogue too. "EVERYBODY FREEZE!! AND GET DOWN!!"
I'm debating for either a second Skyfall viewing or Django for tomorrow. Thoughts??

Inglorious Basterds You know, after seeing Django and hearing my sister laud about Christoph Waltz's performance in it (it being Inglorious B's), my expectations were extremely high. I'll be honest, Waltz is the man, but the movie was a bit much. In my mind Inglorious was eclipsed by Django because so many elements of it relied heavily on convenience and it felt like the movie was more about Nazi bashing than carrying me through a story; I couldn't find one character whom I really felt for. Anyway, two cents. And Brad Pitt was not the actor for that role. God, I've heard better Southern accents from Manhattanites.
8/10 - Meh. It was okay.
I would review Batman Begins and compare it's beauty to the lack thereof in its sequels, but I doubt anyone will be swayed enough to rewatch it and truly compare the aesthetic story-telling elements, the fight scenes, etc.

IMO, if you're talking about cinematography, Batman Begins is very organic because Bruce Wayne's character is still finding out who he is; his character is a clean slate, so the art direction reflects this.
In The Dark Knight, chaos comes in the form of The Joker, therefore the cinematography goes for a more serious and bleak subtle undertone. The Dark Knight is my favorite simply because what the movie stands for, as well as Ledger's portrayal of the Joker. Simply amazing.
And with Rises, Bane comes with a vengeance, so the cinematography here is even bleaker than Dark Knight. In this film, I feel there wasn't as much "feeling" as with the other two, even moreso while compared to Begins.
Regardless of nitpicking, these three movies, judged as films alone, are all fantastic in my book. Nolan is an amazing director. You could tell its a Nolan film just by quickly gazing at the screen.

Of this new trilogy, Batman Begins is by far my favorite. I can't tell exactly what, but it has something that the others lack, despise being darn good movies on their own. I have watched it tons of times and still watch it from time to time. It is such a great movie.

Brazil (the fifth and final director's cut)
I know this description sounds like a gross generalization and has probably been said before, but it feels a lot like a Monty Python version of 1984. Aside from Terry Gilliam being an ex-Python, the film is just chock full of absurdities in front of a bleak backdrop.
It gets disturbing and hard-to-follow from time to time (all of the main character's hallucinations), but it balances this out with its humor and imagery.

edit: by fifth & final, you mean the Criterion Edition?

Post by: Jango Hakamichi on January 04, 2013, 12:55:00 pm
Yes, the cut that just came out in December. According to the booklet, it's the original European version with some minor edits by Gilliam, and is slightly different from the last Criterion release.
Oh yeah forgot to mention in my review that I really liked this movie and it knocked Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas down a notch. Not motivated enough to remove Dr. Gonzo from my current avatar tho.

District 9 Aliens come to Earth over South Africa. Humans "take care" of them like animals, all while trying to get their hands on the aliens weapons that can only function if used by an alien. This was not what I was expecting. Pretty original, gross at times, nice watch. Grade : 7/10
Still, some things are clearly not understandable/believable.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- Having the ship land over Johannesburg doesn't mean other countries should have the right to be there, they're mother fucking aliens. - The army in the movie is fucking pathetic : again, it's not because they're in South Africa they shouldn't have access to planes, helicopters, tanks and other real weapons. - How did they even learn each other's language in the 1st place ? - You have fucking aliens coming to Earth, and you dump them in a dumpster and call racism on them. Really ? - Out of all the ship, only fucking stupid workers survived (plus the alien hero and his son, mind you) ? Really ?

Why does the SF cast speak in japanese when most of its members ae fom foreign countries?
When you have a multicultural cast from different countries (or planets) you have to make sure that (at least) the most important characters speak in a common language. Otherwise you really can't add a lot of dialogue, and if you do it will be only among agroup of characters.
Would Inglrious Basterds work if all the Nazis only spoke German? No, how the hell would Aldo the Apache talk to them.

The Dark Knight - 9/10 I got together with my friend who's made it a habit to quote the Joker and Bane and watched this again. Still great but for some reason the final fight scene with the Joker is too long. I just started thinking that. Either way, if you're one of the 5 people who haven't seem it...go watch it.
The Dark Knight Rises- 8/10 Not as good as the Dark Knight but gotta love Banes voice. I'm big Tom Hardy fan and I can say he was brilliant. Probably should watch with subtitles though. We got some extra laughs when my friend was doing Banes voice (He's actually great at it) and I was doing The Jokers (I'm decent at it). Either way. Kind of depressing but still a good watch. Needs more Alfred dammit.
Shocking relisation while watching Rises...I've seen both main charecters naked............the fuq?

- Having the ship land over Johannesburg doesn't mean other countries shouldn't have the right to be there, they're mother fucking aliens. - How did they even learn each other's language in the 1st place ? <-- I'm talking about Aliens VS humans.
All humans speak English, and that's fine by me, that's not where the problem lies.
You have Aliens landing over Earth, weakened, and instead of trying to cooperate with them or help them some way or another, instead of trying to learn from them you dump them in a shitty place, treat them badly with junk and shit, no politicians are involved, only poor black people from Johannesburg, a military weapon company and a Nigerian gang. The only thing in which humans are interested are the weapons. WAIT WHAT !? No attempt was done to go the the mother ship and see what else could be found there and understand their technology, no dialogue was started so Aliens could go back home, or to learn about their motivations, etc. So yeah, absolutely no dialogue was engaged, but humans and Aliens can magically understand each other. WAIT WHAT !? Also, as said, they're Aliens, so no matter where they land, any government should be able to speak to them. South Africa shouldn't call dibs on the Aliens (not that they did, since no dialogue was engaged). WAIT WHAT !?

Post by: Iced on January 04, 2013, 11:31:15 pm
dialogue got engaged , the documentary said that they even tried to teach them english, so humanitarian efforts probably happened. Thing is, the guys that landed there werent big scientists, they werent armed, they werent powerful, so it happened to them what happens to any refugee in tthe story of poverty stricken zones. Mankind stared at the aliens and let out a collective shrug, which is actually more reasonable of an interaction with poor aliens than to try to help them.
Also the movie tries to tell a story that has obvious links to the apartheid. The prawns are a nuisance, just like any huge group of foreign poor people that suddenly drops on your door step.

They are weaponed, they even have big mother fucking guns. It's just that they're biologically engineered not to work with another race. If you have a bunch of Aliens coming to Earth, even if they're not the smartest ones, they are obviously linked to the big scientists who created the ship, they obviously have a way to cmmunicate with their home planet or something.
Also, as I said, aliens could have been taken care of by another country. If South Africa doesn't have the ressources to provide good care for them, then USA or Europe would have. God, send them in Texas, NZ or Australia, there's plenty of place there. :P I understand the parallel with apartheid, I just think it's not put into place realistically.
However, even though the premises of the movie don't make much sense to me, the rest of the movie is pretty good, very well paced, well filmed, with good action and all. I still gave it a good grade, because I think it's a good movie, just that the beginning "postulate" is rather WTF-ish.

- humans only interested in weaponry....check! that's pretty relevant to our current world anyway, so that is a rather possible interpretation of what could happen in case Aliens were here - humans not treating Aliens realistically....check! that's pretty relevant to our current world anyway (hatred towards humans for the sole fact that they are not from the same country or because of difference in wealth!)

communication is something weird, take us humans for example: we have instant communication devices and technologies: does it make it easier for us to communicate between each other on this planet? yes on paper, kind of technically (some countries barely have it, some others control/refuse it), not really in the end in reality ("you can reach anyone but you don't know anyone"). now inagine that on an Alien race scale, we are talking inter-galactic shit: so any interpretation is valid here imo, especially the director's.

again, why we as humans aren't doing that to our own kind right now? what makes you think that we would be so different than what we are with an Alien race? actually, the choice of this cockroachy/insect look was a perfect choice: they look very fucking different (some would say ugly or disgusting), they speak a weird language, they are coming from another place and have nowhere to go... the director is genius because this movie is mirror to our own shitty self
i really loved how it was documentary style too: the movie doesn't have to tell you every little details of everything...it's a what-if situation that actually works here imo

wow, very good movie: a complex vibe going on as in a lot of stories of various people in various times, a lot of layers, very long (more than 2h30) and very slow! i understand why it couldn't work box-office wise, not for your average saturday night movie goer 8/10 for sure though

Cybaster, uh, I think you're reading waaaaay too deep into this. LOL Very valid points though.
I think some of the plot points the film doesn't cover are supposed to be left to the imagination. In my head, as the aliens were being escorted out of the ship, thats when the scientists discovered the weaponry. And better reason to keep them in the slums: that would allow for easy extraction for testing/dissecting the prawns.
And the aliens DID land in 1984 (if my memory serves me right). Didn't the film take place in 2010?? That's 26 years. More than enough time to learn a language.
Also, the opening said "why Johannesburg??' So there you go.
I see District 9 as a film about segregation. It did a fine job there. Excellent film in my opinion.

Kuroneko
Now this is how you do a period ghost story, people!
It starts out with your setup of two women (a mother and her daughter-in-law) who are raped and killed, only to come back to life as ghosts to get revenge on their killers and all samurai. Sounds pretty standard so far for these ghost stories, and you'd think that would be the whole movie, but then their next target shows up. This man is the first ghost's son and the second ghost's husband. And he's a samurai.
As tense and spooky as it is, it is also a tale of love at its core, and the consequences of both indulging in and turning away from it.
Classic.

Post by: Cybaster on January 05, 2013, 12:08:32 pm
Yeah, Iced, Djoulz and Saikoro, you all have valid points. Maybe I am indeed looking too far into it.
It's just that, as a scientist, if an Alien species appeared on Earth, first thing that comes to mind are : - where do you come from (galaxy, size of planet, coordinates). - learn about the technology (try to understand it, not just steal weapons), reverse engineer it if the aliens are "too stupid" to explain. - understand how the space ship function (they must use wormholes, bend space-time continuum or this kind of shit, no ? how do they do it ?). They have the ability to space travel, while we're stuck on Earth, sending little robots to Mars. Why only want their weapons ? Might as well learn how space travel works too. You might as well bring the war to other planets! :twisted: - learn about them, their culture, etc.
But yeah, maybe I'm too optimistic about the human race, and we'd really react as in the movie. Maybe these movies where one "bad guy" wants to destroy the world to start over again are actually right. We should start over again. ;P

For me, Cybaster, I find that when a film actually elaborates on a particular subject, we end up getting let down. What do I mean by this??
In the first Matrix, you hear of Zion through dialogue from Tank and Morpheus, as the last human city that is close to the Earth's core, where it's still warm. I felt that the Matrix is a perfect standalone film, so my imagination went wild with what Zion could be. Then, would you know it, Reloaded came out and Zion.... sucked. My point is that some things are left to the imagination, Like the Matrix's sequels. We really didn't need those. We needed nothing at all or, you know, BETTER ones.
Which brings me to District 9. I'm sure if the film actually went into detail about their homeworld, or the innards of the entire ship, or why exactly they landed in Johannesburg, we would have been seriously let down. I love it how Christopher's prawn child asks how many moons their homeworld has. They leave it at that. Or the whole HUD system that Christopher navigates through to get home. It's the unspoken subtleties that often make up for the best plot points, and our imaginations make up the rest of it. What usually happens, like the Matrix Reloaded case, is that previous films only mention things. Then when we see those ideas executed, we're severely let down. I loved District 9. I hope they leave that franchise be.
And no Django Unchained for me. I'm giving it up for Sushi, where I'm headed right after I post this. I have Tuesday off, so I'm certainly gonna hit the theatre up then. I'll gladly post my thoughts as soon as I see it. Peace out!!

But the point of my post was not to say they should have put these details in the movie. :ninja: The point of my post is that this stuff is what humans should have looked for and tried to understand when the Aliens arrived. Once again, I'm just questionning the premises of the movie, about how humans react and treat the aliens.
The rest of the movie, with the documentary, the story, etc. is pretty good.

I hear you 100%. I'm not trying to just place you aside by saying that. I really hear ya. Maybe the message the movie is trying to deliver is that us humans are only interested in the menial things. YAY!! Aliens that are advanced and whatnot... and all we want are their fucking guns!! Lets throw everything else aside!!
Terminator Salvation
I like to A: await Blu-Ray prices on my favorite movies to drop to 10 bucks to buy plenty in one shot and B: let stuff play in the background while I work on my Portraits. One night, I let The Dark Knight loop twice while working away in Photoshop.
I really, REALLY like this movie. The story is well done as a continuation of the franchise, the action is tight, the T-800 effects are finally human like and there are tons amazing nods/references to past films, that you pick up on, that are scattered throughout the film; if you're a diehard like myself. I personally consider this one to be part three. Rise of the Machines can fucking suck it.
As much as I love this one, there are a lot of... stupid things that Skynet does that prove it to be retarded. Seriously man. Here's a small checklist:
You're this nearly unstoppable killing machine that can snap necks like twigs. So you instead throw everyone around like a ragdoll. Yeaaaaah...
Sam Worthington's shouting. Every single one sounds identical. Most notable offender: Truck chase, circa bridge sequence. Three times in a row and its the same voiceover!!
Your mini army of awesome cyborg bikes are easily hacked. By a USB port on the left side. Seriously?? Where's the firewall protection here!?
Above comment goes with doors too. To Skynet's lair. And whats up with a cyborg bike's eye being able to, you know, use an interface that requires fingers!? Its a fucking bike!!
And wait to build that T-800 army before infiltrating the resistance. There's usually one terminator on the screen at once. Budget?? Or stupidity??
Silly checklist aside, great flick. :)

Let me start by apologizing for my outburst a while ago. It was uncalled for and you are one of my favorite people here. And for me what Begins had that the others lacked was "overall" believability. Rises depended thoroughly upon everyone (every non-star) being an idiot save Bane and Batman. Cops are going to run charging into a troop of gun toting villains, Bane's gonna give a speech in a stadium where everyone just listens, Bane's speech on top of a car or tank, fight scenes that were badly choreographed, fighting in a crowd going virtually unaffected, the list goes on. Dark Knight relied too heavily on conveniences - one security guard to cover joker, explosives in the police station iirc, a police vehicle that no one missed... somehow, and tht movie could have ended so much sooner...
I would go on, but Begins took it by far in my opinion. So beautifully sentimental albeit corny at times.

Really ? - Out of all the ship, only fucking stupid workers survived (plus the alien hero and his son, mind you) ? Really ?
- South Africa has jurisdiction over everything in its own borders, and the other countries don't care enough about the aliens to want to push them over that. - That wasn't the army, it was a PMC. - However us humans learn other languages? It'd be a bit harder because aliens, but communication is not impossible. - What else would they do with them? They're useless and stupid and sick and malnourished and stuff. You can't really integrate them with human society, and you can't just massacre them, so might as well put them in a ghetto under the guise of aid. - We don't know what happened on that ship. Maybe there was some kind of coup? Maybe the prawns have a caste system and engineering prawns are a different breed of prawn or something and that disease the worker prawns had killed the engineer prawns because it attacked their biology more? There are tons of possible reasons and I think it's great that the movie leaves it as a mystery.
You have Aliens landing over Earth, weakened, and instead of trying to cooperate with them or help them some way or another, instead of trying to learn from them you dump them in a shitty place, treat them badly with junk and shit, no politicians are involved, only poor black people from Johannesburg, a military weapon company and a Nigerian gang.
Ever read up about refugee camps? It's basically the same exact thing, only this time the refugees are also aliens so there is very little chance of them ever being integrated with human society, at least for many years. The prawns offer the rest of the world nothing. So the rest of the world leaves South Africa to deal with them.
No attempt was done to go the the mother ship and see what else could be found there and understand their technology
How do you know? Just because the movie never explicitly says so? You just have to assume they tried, because that's just common sense. But much like the weaponry the prawn technology would've been unusable to humans, so most people lost interest. They can't get it to work, the prawns certainly don't have a clue about any of it, and so it remains, hovering in the sky. But maybe there was an evil tech firm or something dissecting prawns to try and discover how their spaceship works: can anyone say sequel?
no dialogue was started so Aliens could go back home, or to learn about their motivations, etc. So yeah, absolutely no dialogue was engaged, but humans and Aliens can magically understand each other. WAIT WHAT !?
You're assuming things didn't happen because you weren't spoon-fed them. Of course dialogue would've been engaged, after they discover how to talk to one another. That's not magic, it's happened throughout human history. So they talk and the humans find out the prawns don't know shit and don't know why they're here or what killed them or anything. And they can't even use that wondrous technology! So they dump em in a slum under the guise of helping when they're really just trying to get rid of them.
no dialogue was started so Aliens could go Also, as said, they're Aliens, so no matter where they land, any government should be able to speak to them. South Africa shouldn't call dibs on the Aliens (not that they did, since no dialogue was engaged). WAIT WHAT !?
There was probably a multinational group that oversaw everything, the filmmakers shouldn't have to describe each and every detail when those details can be easily inferred. So, maybe the UN or something took care of everything. And when they discovered the situation, they scrambled and left South Africa to deal with it.
They are weaponed, they even have big mother fucking guns. It's just that they're biologically engineered not to work with another race. If you have a bunch of Aliens coming to Earth, even if they're not the smartest ones, they are obviously linked to the big scientists who created the ship, they obviously have a way to cmmunicate with their home planet or something.
They're linked but humanity doesn't know how. And the prawns don't seem to know either. And what do you mean they obviously have a way to communicate with their home planet? How would humanity know that? They can't figure out anything about the technology!
I personally think the prawns had a caste system or something, but maybe there was only one race of prawns and the ones on the ship came from some colony that was wiped out by plague, and the survivors stole a ship they didn't know how to pilot and just banged a bunch of keys and landed up on Earth. Or maybe there were a few non-worker prawns who knew the technology, but they died from illness/malnutrition? Who knows? It's a facsininating mystery.
Also, as I said, aliens could have been taken care of by another country. If South Africa doesn't have the ressources to provide good care for them, then USA or Europe would have. God, send them in Texas, NZ or Australia, there's plenty of place there. :P
But no one wants to! Everyone told South Africa to deal with it by themselves, it landed over their borders, it's their problem!
It's just that, as a scientist, if an Alien species appeared on Earth, first thing that comes to mind are : - where do you come from (galaxy, size of planet, coordinates). - learn about the technology (try to understand it, not just steal weapons), reverse engineer it if the aliens are "too stupid" to explain. - understand how the space ship function (they must use wormholes, bend space-time continuum or this kind of shit, no ? how do they do it ?).

You might as well bring the war to other planets! :twisted: - learn about them, their culture, etc.
They tried all that. And all they got from their efforts was that this amazing prawn technology is as useless as a bunch of rocks (well, magically floating rocks) and that the prawns know nothing. I'm sure there are scientists in D9's world aching to discover more about the prawns, but they are completely unable to do so.
And for me what Begins had that the others lacked was "overall" believability.
IMO, that's a problem with the entire trilogy, but Begins is by far the worst. It is the movie with the magical microwave generator that only affects water, after all.

Ah.... Batman Returns. That was merely OK in my opinion. I used to like it when I was a kid, but what doesn't excite a 12 year old?? And what ultimately ruined it for me as I grew older??
Penguins with Rockets strapped to their backs. Yeeeeeah!! Reminds me of Dr. Evil and his Sharks with Lasers attached to their heads.

How can you hate such an awesome thing?
But to be serious, it shows how absolutely batshit crazy Penguin is and how all his plans are failed so he goes with something nuts. Is it really so unbelievable in a movie where a guy dresses up as Dracula to fight crime by beating up random people?

All I can remember was "4... 5... STILL ALIVE!!" And then she kisses Christopher Walken with the tazer (was it one of those??). He fries like chicken. She escapes unscathed. That... is odd.
It's funny that most people forget Christopher Walken was in Returns.

That scene would've been pretty memorable (in a good way) if Catwoman hadn't taken half a dozen of bullet shots during her monologue. One was enough Burton! one was enough!
And any dramatic effect her death had was also crushed by Sheck's molten plastic mask/'corpse'. C'mmon. I'm pretty sure that even back then they could do way better.
Oh, and the fact that she doesn't actually die. The cat scene was a good ending, why slap Catwoman's shadow at the very last second? Why force a 'happy' ending?

The Awakening (2011)
Rebecca Hall (Christian Bale's "ugly wife" in The Prestige) is a ghost hunter in the early 20th century. The biggest success of the movie is that keeps you guessing all the time, giving you lots of hints to whether it's ghosts or it's living people causing all the "apparitions". The ending is somewhat open ended, or slightly confusing IMO.
Rating: 8.5/10 - Good movie, made me like Rebeca Hall

killer nerd / bride of killer nerd (double feature)
first movie has to deal with his motive of becoming, well, a 'killer' nerd so there's a load of pretty boring padding, but once it gets down to business (about an hour and 10 minutes into the thing....) it's amusing in the usual silly troma way
kinda sucks the actor is pretty much how he acts in this in real life, though (minus the murder (i hope)). probably got picked on just as much as he did in real life as he did in this movie
bride of killer nerd was a lot more fun though, opens with his victims' ghosts haunting him, the bride herself is thoroughly entertaining, although the deaths aren't as hilarious

the ending caught me a bit off-guard though. figures, the one thing that went right in the sequel for the character is swiftly taken away from him. poor harold kunkle. at least he's got her skeleton...?

^ I agree, I saw it in theaters at it was awesome :neutral:
This Means War (2012) At least I planned to see this movie, because it has Tom Hardy in it, but oh man. Supposidly, this movie tried to combine a romantic comedy with an action movie, and needless to say laughably failed at both fronts. To be honest I stopped the movie after 5 minutes because I wanted to do myself a favour. The only thought this movie provoked on me was 'this is Hollywood-shite at it's 'finest'. This is one of the few times I'm glad I don't have a girlfriend because then I might have ended up going to watch it in theaters. So yeah Reese Witherspoon wasn't even introduced in the movie yet, so I didn't see her, but I doubt it'd have made things better.
Conclusion: avoid this like the black plague even if you're a Tom Hardy fan. The person who wrote this movie (and I cannot be bothered to look it up) should not be allowed to write EVER AGAIN PERIOD. My god how I cringed for the duration of watching. Give me my 5 minutes back damnit!

Decided to watch Batman Returns, but since it's been such a long time, I watched Batman (1989) first instead. It's great, this is all that there is to say. Jack Nicholson's Joker is fabulous (even though I preffer the more realistic Heath Ledger one, but I digress). Keaton and Basinger are great too, even though Keaton's face is not how I picture Bruce Wayne. Grade : 8/10
Question to the Comics fans : Harvey Dent, who doesn't have a big role in the movie, is played by a black guy. Has Harvey Dent already been pictured as being black in the Comics (or Two-Face, for that matter) ?
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Basara Dandy on January 10, 2013, 07:59:22 pm
^ Nope, as I know there's no black version of Harvey Dent/Two-Faces apart of that movie, I guess that actor was added just because Burton wanted it and nothing more. Later in third movie (Batman Forever) appeared Two-Faces but it has nothing to do with Dent. Only in Batman Begins Harvey Dent is the same person as Two-faces, just like in the comics Posted: January 11, 2013, 07:04:48 pm Men in Black 3 Great movie, just comparable to MIB1. Also, I've to say Josh Brolin made a grat job as Young Agent K. And Boris the Animal as the villain is just awesome. Totally recommended, especially if you like MIB series

Almost forgot to post that I saw Django Unchained. Simply fantastic. Tarrantino has a way of making some interesting and likable characters who spew out memorable lines in striking sequences/setpieces. And Samuel L. Jackson was fantastic.

It is long indeed, but you really don't feel it because it's not boring. It was as rich visually, as it was in story. Definitely a strong contender for the Oscars IMO.

Hotel Transylvania It was actually pretty funny. There's not much to say other than it's a perfect family movie. I'd buy it on dvd.
Seven Psychopaths I got the feeling it was made by the same people who made "Men Who Stare At Goats". It seems very interesting at first, but then you realize it's not going to be anything else but weird. It was different in a good way, but that's all. Not something I'd go back and watch again.
Rurouni Kenshin Live Action This movie was the highlight of my week. It was fucking perfect and I absolutely loved it. It kept to the original story and even the fighting was done great. Actually, the action scenes were badass. I can't wait to watch it again. I tried erasing the idea that this movie was based off of Rurouni Kenshin (easy because I haven't seen Rurouni Kenshin in years) and even then it was still amazing. It may be a top 5 favorite. Depending on it's sequels, it might even top Kung Fu Panda 2 or Tarzan.

I saw Skyfall for a second time last night, and the film is excellent. It has the best Bond style opening out of any of the films IMO. I feel this way because the backdrops actually pertain to what's happening in the film, along with Graig's and Bardem's intricacies. Adele's voice makes it all come together.
Also, I got the Blu-Ray of American Psycho for $5 at Target last week. Great film. Bale's character is so well played, its creepy. Tons of excellent dialogue through plenty of creepy and interesting scenes.

I actually liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory since I read the book and it followed it pretty closely except for the Wonka backstory and most of the end, but I can see how it would be hard for people to like
I agree! I think people are way too hard on it for no real reason. And it was really annoying to read people call it unfaithful to the original because it didn't have orange Oompa-Loompas or what have you.

Neither of them were accurate for the Oompa Loompas. The book says they're whities in the current edition, or "African pygmies" in the first edition (in which case Tim Burton got the closest by a technicality, since Deep Roy is short and was born in Kenya)

I did kinda like the Tim Burton one. The songs were intresting and I didn't paticulary hate any of the new actors. Except Charlie and Wonka. Charlie is just too innocent. I get it he's supposed to be nice, but in the original(I don't know if it was like this in the book) he messes up like most kids would. Depp just annoyed me. Bringing these kids to his factory and then he acts like he dosen't care? Wtf is his problem....

So my sister in law said she wanted to watch A Haunted House because she likes slapstick comedies and is a fan of the latest poltergeist movies that this one makes fun of. Oh boy...what a disappointment.
Had its funny parts but got really boring and nasty real quick. This is not a movie to take a relative to or even worth paying to watch at the theater.
Make it a rental. :P

The song lyrics in the new one are almost verbatim from the books, except they're shortened and not just chanting over tribal drums. Also Violet's song was originally a story about a woman named Mrs. Bigaloo who bites off her tongue after chewing gum so they changed the words a bit.
Charlie never does anything wrong in the book. The Fizzy Lifting Drinks were a throwaway gag and nobody drank it.
Willy Wonka doesn't really care about the kids in the book either. He doesn't have the aversion to parents he has in Tim Burton's, but he insults people and he basically tells people to go fuck themselves in nicer words ("My dear lady, please boil your head.").
Too bad people hated the new one, because now we can't see an adaptation to the second book, where Willy Wonka fights aliens in outer space and rescues Grandma Georgina's ghost from hell (I'm not kidding, these really happened).

i'm really tired atm and can't think of much, except it was great. it's both hilarious and absolutely frightening, goofy yet bleak, but thoroughly entertaining all the way through. apparently this got screwed in terms of marketing which really sucks. i thought it was pretty brilliant
i think my favorite part is the whole thing with the movie literally called 'ass' due to the fact that it is a completely straightforward stab at andy warhol actually making a movie called 'taylor mead's ass', which was...well...yeah.

He's nothing too bad. I don't have any hate or love for the actor, so I didn't really care about it to be honest. He was just the weird gun-obsesser who lived at the edge of town that dresses in weird outfits. Was funny to see him run at trained mercenaries in pajamas, with nothing but a Viking helmet and shield, though.

He gets shot.
Don't worry about Johnny too much if you're deciding to see it or not over just him, he's just a side character, and doesn't take away from the overall movie. Go ahead and enjoy it.

A 19th Century detective movie about Jack the Ripper, starring Johnny Depp. I'm surprised I heard absolutely no buzz around this one, but then again it came out around the time when we were up to our ears in JOHNNY DEPP, so people might have passed on it.
Good movie! Lots of twists and turns, and I think it follows the detective novel rules [E] mentioned :P

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla
I had actually never seen this particular Godzilla film so when I saw it I had low expectations. I found it quite enjoyable in some scenes. Kinda made me think of it as a modern take on a Showa story with how the plot is. Also the music is great, and it currently features my favorite non-50's Godzilla destruction sequence (the bit with the typhoon in the beginning of the film).
All in all, probably my favorite of the "Millennium" Godzilla pictures.

Amanda Seyfried is a woman who got psychologically scarred because of being kidnapped, and now she's paranoid as fuck. She loses her shit when her sister disappears, and goes on a crazy race against time to find her, and her kidnapper.
Spoiler: Pros and Cons(click to see content)
+ It has lots of Amanda Seyfried :nice: + The direction and photography are good. + The ending is satisfying. - The climax has lots of build up, but the ending is too fast and underwhelming. - The really important events are about handful, and they're too stretched. - Barely passes the 90 min mark.

It was... good? Like, surprisingly so. I had absolutely no faith in this movie, mainly because Seth MacFarlane stopped writing original content somewhere around 2006, but this was actually funny. Really funny. Other than the fact that it turned into a completely different movie in the last 20 minutes, it was pretty well done.
Although some of that humor may have come from the fact that I watched it with my parents, who were under the impression that it was a children's movie.

Agreed on Ted. If you strip away the humor and actually decent writing, the story is truly about a man growing up. I loved it and laughed hysterically, especially at all of the cameos and in jokes (Tom Skerrit!!)

First Blood (first Rambo movie)
I finally got around to watching it. Not alot to say really. I felt it was sort of like a social commentary on how Vietnam Vets(and Vets in general) can sometimes be outcast form society and sometimes even hated. Besides all that, it was a pretty decent action flick. In the same vein I said before, the whole "Outcast who returns and is hated" doesn't that kind of make the sequals miss the point of the first movie entirely? iunno. Great movie though.

The Warriors
Nine members of a gang called The Warriors (surprise!) get caught far away from their turf and must "bop" their way back to friendly ground. Despite the Warriors themselves remaining flat and uninteresting individually, the film manages to make you care about them as a group. I wanted to see them get home, for everything to turn out okay. The gangs are silly-looking, but everything else about the movie is treated as serious business, and it works magnificently.
Lining up a little exploitation gem called "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" that I'm only 90% sure isn't a porno snuck onto Netflix. Here goes...

also if that scene with dicaprio's hand bleeding seemed like it came out of nowhere, that's because apparently it did. read somewhere that he really did cut his hand open but went on with the scene anyway like nothing happened. what an exceptional cracka

I saw Django today in the cinema. Wow this movie really is great. I kind of regret that I didn't had the possibility to watch it in English. I guess Udo Walz talked a little bit German in the original Version, but since I watched the German version they speak German the whole time -> it made no difference to the scenes where her only speaks German in the original version. That sucked a bit (luckly I saw Inglorious Basterds Original Version). But other than that very cool Movie!

The Street Fighter live action film is so bad it's good. For years, I have called it "The Action Film mistakenly named Street Fighter." Zangief's one liners make the entire movie. "You got PAID!?" "Quick, change the channel!!" And the Godzilla nod with E-Honda is great. Epic. It's bad, but oh so guilty pleasure good. Raul Julia makes a great Bison too.
And Djoulz, thanks for the heads-up on Arnold's latest opus. I'll Redbox it or something.
As far as what I have seen as of late, Target has had some wicked sweet Blu-Ray sales last week. I was in a classic mood, so I went for some "When Tim Burton was GOOD" classic kick and purchased Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands for only 14!! I also have no cable in my room, so I just pop in Blu-Rays to keep myself company as I click away in PhotoShop.
Beetlejuice is still fucking crazy awesome and hilarious to this day. The writing is tight and simple, the effects are still great and loaded with character; but more importantly its just a lot of fun. As is Michael Keaton. I watched the shit out of the VHS back in the day. I'm glad to own a definitive high-def version.
Edward Scissorhands is still a great story that has a ton of heart. You can also see the sharp contrast of goth versus florescent, and that's where Burton's style shines through. And seeing Depp acting as something else OTHER than Captain Jack "whored out" Sparrow is great. His character is innocent and completely lost in the world he is introduced to through kind intentions.
I also saw Coming to America for 10!!

Safety Not Guaranteed:
Not a bad movie. Solely based on the fact that it was created off of an actual news clip made it more interesting. I was hooked through most of the movie, I didn't care for the ending though. 8/10.

I enjoyed it a lot, though it's really weird to see Jonah Hill be fat in anything anymore lol. It was a bit overdoing it with the poor humor sometimes, but for the most part I had a lot of laughs. 9/10.

Polytechnique (2009)
Geez, this was a though film to sit through. It wasn't a bad film, infact, it was pretty good. The acting and camera work was very well-done. But the subject matter is very brutal and depressing. The film is a docudrama about the École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal. It's worth watching if you don't mind slow-paced films or graphic content.
Interesting fact, the film was shot twice. Both a French and English version were done using the same cast, no dubbing at all.

Cronos (1992)
Guillermo Del Toro's first film. Weird that it's 60% in spanish, and 40% in english. I personally don't mind because I speak both, but I don't see any reason why to make it that way, other than to include Ron Pearlman (a big name) to draw some attention to his movie.
Still, it's good. Very original story, good make up effects. A must-watch for Del Toro fans.

@GLB: Safety not Guaranteed was a fantastic film with a lot of heart wrapped up in nostalgia. Mad props go to Contra and Star Wars references. It did fall a little flat towards the end though. I'm certainly gonna purchase this down the road.
@Walt: I viewed the first Hostel years ago and didn't like it. All I remember is "I go home," the Achilles Tendon scene, and the Asian woman with the eye jumping in front of the train. Unforgettable slasher-wannabe in my opinion. Which reminds me of...
The Ring
This unorthodox horror film got under my skin. I remember going home and turning every light on that led to my room as I returned from the theatre. It's the psychological horror that makes this film shine in my head; not a lot of current horror films do that. Gore Verbinski did a great job making a film that was better than the original (Ringu in Japan) in every sense. And goddamnit, that cursed video is scary!!
Coming to America
Hands down, this is Eddie Murphy's best comedy of his entire career. Everything about this film is hilarious. More importantly, it has such a big heart to it. Not a lot of comedies feature that. And you gotta love all of those cameos. Samuel L. Jackson's is by far the best of the bunch.

Les Misérables
Movie of the year. Valjean VS Javert FTW. The Oscar goes to Anne Hathaway, yes. I cried profusely several times. Although I will warn you this - You will get tired of Hugh Jackman's singing halfway through the movie.
Go watch it now, it's worth your money.

Wreck-it Ralph : Didn't get to see it at the cinema. It was great : very nice references to various video games, sometimes done in an obvious way, and sometimes in a much more subtil manner. The story was pretty deep for this kind of movie, well paced and well thought. A must see. Grade : 8/10.

i really liked it but like bubba hotep i'm going to have to watch it several times to fully 'get it'
like at first i thought the soy sauce was basically making dirty deeds done dirt cheap (http://jjba.wikia.com/wiki/Dirty_Deeds_Done_Dirt_Cheap) to happen within our world but then like other worlds actually existed and then people were infected with things and aaaa???
acting is also really good. like almost everybody is really intimidating in this movie, with a select few exceptions, like the fred character (who's played by the original author of the book don'tcha know)

also THAT is how you do a dog death in a movie. that was badass. r.i.p. bark lee
overall it is a VERY different movie, which is mainly why i liked it so much. i've never seen anything like it. i've also still never seen anything like bubba ho-tep. just both terrifying comedies, pretty much

There's more explosions in this movie than there are dialogues. Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are hot and can't act for shit. Didn't like the movie. It was like watching a Transformers movie, minus the giant robots. I guess giant robots make everything better.

OMFG!! One of the best superhero movies I saw lately...

That scene would've been pretty memorable (in a good way) if Catwoman hadn't taken half a dozen of bullet shots during her monologue. One was enough Burton! one was enough!
And any dramatic effect her death had was also crushed by Sheck's molten plastic mask/'corpse'. C'mmon. I'm pretty sure that even back then they could do way better.
Oh, and the fact that she doesn't actually die. The cat scene was a good ending, why slap Catwoman's shadow at the very last second? Why force a 'happy' ending?

Fright Night (2011 version)
I went into this one with some pretty low expectations (seeing as how it's a remake of one of my favorites), however I ended up liking the end result. It was pretty fateful to the original. One of the few things I didn't like is how goofy the CGI looks in some scenes (whats wrong with using makeup I wonder).

21 Jump Street. (Newer)
I know I've said this before, but Jonah Hill always just seemed funnier to me when he was chubbier. It's weird seeing him skinny, and he seems much different with his acting.

Well, the end of the movie made me promise not to ruin it for everyone else, so I'll just tell you that it's brilliant. If you're a fan of Alfred Hitchcock, or if you dislike movies that rely on bloodshed/shock value/jump cuts for scares, you'll definitely love this movie. This was the first time in a long time that I was so engrossed in a plot.

The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate Tsui Hark movie with Jet Li. Nice special effects, nice story and well choregraphed fights. However, had a hard time figuring things out at times because they all look the same (yeah that's racist), and this movie pretty much uses ropes ALL THE TIME, which is kinda boring at times since I like my chinese martial arts to be realistic (Ip Man, where are you?). Grade : 7/10
Undisputed 3 American martial arts movie this time. Overall plot is pretty much inexistent (international championship between the best fighters from prisons all over the world), but there's a nice friendship subplot going on in the movie that is really well done. Fights are really well done, save for the last one which I thought was lame and unrealistic. Totally not the climax I was waiting for... Grade : 6.5/10
21 Jump Street Not much to say that was already said. From the 15 first minutes, I was afraid this was going to be a lame gross comedy, but it turned out to be pretty cool and funny. Grade : 7/10
Silver Linings Playbook I thought the movie was average, and don't understand how it got so many prizes. Granted, both actors play really well, and the story is at least a little original for this kind of movie, but I dunno, it didn't move me. Grade : 6.5/10

been running a marathon of no sleep since 11 PM last night, with it being 2:22 PM. few hours ago i decided this was the perfect time to watch The ABCs of Death which sat in the back of my head for a while out of morbid curiosity
nobody's going to read a long overlook of yet another movie not that many people care about for the most part from me, so a few thoughts:
- G and M are pretty much completely fucking useless - F... yeah, i don't know... afterwards the teacher says 'in the land of the dead you are free to go past the boundaries of good taste', but didn't this kinda already (not that i'm OFFENDED or anything, as most movie reviews were towards this whole movie, because god forbid an anthology film about death is morbid)? the director is a veteran in making pink films so i guess i shouldn't expect anything less than dialogue like this (http://25.media.tumblr.com/d55e0f72a802704d88dfeb8553410da2/tumblr_mi49ob4VfE1qm2vb9o1_500.jpg) - J was strangely awesome. i don't even know why, but it just was. oh (http://25.media.tumblr.com/a918b19134414ca24b438011b675f72b/tumblr_mix20bbRUA1qhwn8vo4_500.gif) yeah (http://25.media.tumblr.com/285570577adae467a4410c7f1b41ee3a/tumblr_mix20bbRUA1qhwn8vo7_500.gif) - B had a cool little twist. if that was a twist at all? why the hell is that the word for it though? - H, oh man, that was something. enjoyed the hell out of it nonetheless. the bizarre 'animation' makes me want to check this director out - Z just seemed like it was trying way too damn hard. swastikas, references to racism and drawing a sketch of 9/11 on tits is really edgy. good job - X is by far the best in this one...mostly because this is going to stay with me for a long time. the constant glamour shots sandwiched by all the self-loathing mutilation, and the model-esque pose at the end before not being able to breathe anymore as a diet cereal commercial plays in the living room... this is pretty much the summary of this one (nsfw, also spoilers) (http://24.media.tumblr.com/d1f59561f9b20fb0ed7066b3b8322e7c/tumblr_mhzrkea5Vm1qasdemo1_500.jpg). really fucking well done and chilling
i'm starting to fall asleep but yeah, if you're willing to watch an anthology film about death and be able to deal with the fact that it involves death (i fucking hate movie reviewers) then it's certainly a pretty interesting watch overall

Oz: The Great & Powerful
Was OK, could have done with less of Oz & company running and screaming, but I suppose that's part of the character's charm. Kept thinking to Wicked's story, even though they're both drastically different takes on L. Frank Baum's work. Still kinda bugged me how different the Wicked Witch of the West's origins were. Just as odd a change as a movie where Oz is the hero, not the manipulative character working in the shadows, though. (Find it funny how much he reminds me of Voltaire (http://www.newmusicmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/volt.jpg) here)

Life of Pi It's like an Indonesian Cast Away. I loved it. It really shows how ridiculously awesome and crazy scary the ocean can be. The ending was really touching. Great movie all around. I can't wait to make my entire family watch it.
Rise of the Guardians Russian Santa. There's a Russian Santa. I always love movies where the protagonist is someone capable of amazing feats, but lacks the will to do anything. It's always amazing when that type of protagonist finally does something to show off what he's capable of. Anyways, surprisingly awesome movie. Lots of surprising story development and action scenes. There was one very important part that I felt was rushed. I didn't have time to feel bad and neither did the protagonist. Other than that, great movie.
Red Dawn I liked this movie. A lot. I've noticed that every time I absolutely love a movie the ratings are always shit. Red Dawn barely got a 5 out of 10, but I would easily give it a good 8 or 9. I thought it was that good. It felt so realistic once the movie started to pick up. I got goosebumps. The best part about this movie was that everything that was happening was all something capable of happening one day which was why it felt so scary. I'll admit that Josh Peck's acting wasn't the best, but it didn't ruin the movie for me.
I watched 3 more movies, but I don't feel like typing anymore. Bleh....

Che (Part One)
I'm gonna start out by saying that roughly the first half of the movie is very, very slow. So slow, I almost considered turning the movie off. However, after that point, everything gets a lot more interesting. I love how Benicio Del Toro portrays Che, since he's not overly heroic like most hipsters like to think of him. He's basically a regular guy who has strong personal convictions and happens to be good at combat and doctoring.
I was a bit surprised that this movie was directed by the same guy who directed Ocean's 11/12/13 and Magic Mike

The Terminal
Loved how Tom Hank's character got in the adventure of his life VIA a promise. That's how real life works, some of the best/craziest shit that happens to you, comes in mysterious ways.
Also, I caught Stanley Tucci in 3 different movies this last weekend. Nothing personal Stanley, but I hope that's all I'll see your bald head for the rest of the year.
Paranormal Activity 2 - Extended Version
It's almost a completely different movie than the theatrical release. One that makes much more sense also, but I see where they were going with this. It had a lot more paranormal action, and was more frantically paced.
If they'd kept it like that, some of those subdued scares later in the movie would have been mild or irrelevant. They tried to keep a low tone to make the "bigger" scares more meaningful, and that was the right choice.

The Caller
Puertorican-American thriller about a girl that moves in a new appartment, and keeps getting time-warped calls from a mysterious dead woman. Looper-like, Time Paradox shennanigans ensue.
No well known actors, nothing too fancy except a single CGI shot. It reminds me of those low budget, yet well-written spanish movies.
I give it a 7 out of 10. And Djoulz should watch this.

The Forbidden Kingdom The first (and only?) movie starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and more probably the only one where you'll see Jet Li take a piss on Jackie Chan. Sengoku tail mixed with Karate Kid and The Great and Powerful Oz, with lots of nice choregraphies. Movie was pretty cool, but nothing extraordinary, which is a shame considering the actors.

Yeah, there was a moral. Ralph makes a massive fuck up and almost destroys two miniverses just to gain some social acceptance. Then he realizes the only time he's been genuinely happy in his miserable life was during his time in Sugar Rush, because he met another social outcast that wasn't afraid of him and actually appreciated his existence. Basically, a message about true frienship being more valuable than popularity.
...and then Vanellope turns out to be a princess and and because of that instantaneously don't hate her to the point of attacking her or he property anymore. What the fuck Disney. What the fuck.

You gotta admit, if it was American-American, they wouldn't have been funded by the Puerto Rico Film Commission, according to the credits. There's sepparation to some extent, Puerto Ricans can't vote for US President.
In the end, many actors, location and funding are Puerto Rican, that's why I worded it that way.

Wait there was a moral to the story? Was it "go out and do something about it if you're not happy with your life" or "be happy you're a cog in the glorious machine?"
...and then Vanellope turns out to be a princess and and because of that instantaneously don't hate her to the point of attacking her or he property anymore. What the fuck Disney. What the fuck.
They acted that way because their memories were screwed up by King Candy remember? They were always loyal to Vanellope from the start.

Puertorican-American thriller about a girl that moves in a new appartment, and keeps getting time-warped calls from a mysterious dead woman. Looper-like, Time Paradox shennanigans ensue.
No well known actors, nothing too fancy except a single CGI shot. It reminds me of those low budget, yet well-written spanish movies.
I give it a 7 out of 10. And Djoulz should watch this.
never heard of this one: definitely will watch it as it seems we sometimes have very similar taste in movies :) keep them coming

Bachelorette (2012)
Female equivalent of The Hangover starring Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher and Lizzy Caplan. Lotsa cocaine consumption, lots of talks about dick sucking but none actually takes place. Has its funny moments, watch it only if you're a fan of the actresses, or if a worthwhile female companion asks for it.

The ABCs of Death.
26 shortmovies about Death from 26 different directors (or directorteams). Sounded like an interesting project to me and I liked the trailer pretty much.
But in the end I only liked about 1/3 of all episodes. Most where uninspired or just boring.
Not a movie you should watch alone, more for a bigger group and maybe some beer. And at best a DVD version where you can skip the shity episodes.
5/10 because some episodes where quite awesome

Well, he was on drugs at the time. He had been sober for a while, and thought he had the resolve to get through his addiction, in the end no matter how hard he tried, he fell off the wagon and fucked up for the hearing itself that would decide his life's future.
From my POV, at some point after drinking the entirety of the mini bar and having John Goodman over for a pep talksnort he just embraced his condition, "this shit is stronger than me", and after being asked outright several times if he was drunk, he just couldn't keep a straight face anymore out of disappointment in himself.

Gyo.
Liked the manga so I figured I would check out the animated movie. It's a decent enough adaptation (though not a very close one since they switched the protagonists around) though at times it does really show that they crammed certain elements into a hour and ten minute film. I will give them credit for taking the most worthless person in the manga and turning her into a capable protagonist.

Spider-Man 3 Finally I could catched on cable (FOX in this case) and see it after long time of just watching parts of it. I'm a Spidey fan and I saw the first 2 movies about him, as well The Amazing SM reboot. But I never saw this third part and I knew a lot that this movie was just awful. Knowing that, I was better prepared to see it, and so be it. I thought it was so bad, but it wasn't at all (not like X-Men 3 or old Marvel movies), it has some interesting moments, like Sandman (a real copy of comics, so accurate), Black/Symbiote Spider fights, the William Dafoe/Norman Osborne cameos talking to his son... and of course the Stan Lee cameo talking to Tobey/Peter. A lot of WTF moments, but it's not the bad I expected for this movie. Rating: 5/10

I was worried how the movie was gonna turn out seeing how disappointing Arrietty was to me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it's not gonna replace Totoro or Mononoke or any of the movies that made Ghibli famous, but I loved how the movie strived to be more realistic and relatable. The studio should make more movies like this.

I guess we have different taste because I consider it weakest of The Ttrilogy. It just didn't intrigued me that much as Oldboy or Sympathy For Ms. Vengeance. It had too much drama & less mystery than these two, so maybe that's why I didn't liked it (suprisingly I like good dramas overall, just not the asian ones).

The Elm Street Remake.
I remember they made such a big deal in the press about the fact that the series sucked and they were going back to the only good one and were making it better and that only they understood scares, etc etc, that I hardly felt warm and cosy when I finally decided to see it (sounds similar to DmC lol). I didn’t hate it, but I was disappointed. I thought all that time and money and this is it? And a new backstory that’s kind of lame?
I think what made me most pissed off was the bathtub scene. How could they blow one of the most iconic scenes from the original? Don’t they know that horror is about tension? What worked so well in the original was the set-up, but here it's just a reference gag. It was the opposite of what they were bragging about, showing no understanding of the original.
On the other hand I liked some of it. I liked the beginning for example. And hey, it's a bit better than the Friday The 13th remake (though that one could easily be passed off as a sequel instead of a remake).

I remember going home the night I saw that in the theatre. I turned on every fucking light that led to my bedroom. That film is very scary on a psychological level.
Undefeatable
About once a month or so, all of my friends get together for "Awesomely Bad Movie Night." This month's view?? Undefeatable, a so horribly bad its amazing 90's martial arts flick. The acting is atrocious and the plot is bad, but on a funny level. However, the fight scenes are actually quite good and the main villain is... too funny that it makes him somewhat believable.
Oh... Expect lots of eye gouging, a sword duel that attempts to be stylish with packing foam, unnecessary flexing, stereotypes out the yin-yang, and tons of creepy mommy issues that drive our bad guy to gouge out plenty of those eyeballs!!
Think of it as, kinda like, "Pit Fighter: the motion picture." At least the live action Van Damme Street Fighter Movie was endearing. This one was laugh out loud bad. But enjoyable.

Yeah, like pretty much everyone else, I liked it. It did a fantastic job bringing Tony's character arc over the franchise to a close. If Avengers 2 was never going to happen, this would have been a perfect note for Tony's story to go out on. The only real complaint I have is that they had A.I.M. as a major fixture in the movie, and there wasn't even a passing reference to MODOK anywhere. Not even the name George Tarleton hidden on a screen. Come on, guys.
Spoiler: Mandarin spoilers(click to see content)
You know what? I actually love what they did with the Mandarin. I thought it was phenomenally well played. The way they hyped Ben Kingsley up as this huge threatening presence beforehand and then completely pulled the rug out from under him was a really unexpected twist. That was a borderline 'Psycho' level fakeout.
And it works within the context of the Iron Man franchise. If they had done him exactly as he is in the comics, as some mystical chi master with magic alien rings, it would have felt goofy and totally out of place. And if they had just made him a generic terrorist it would have been too bland. I think they did a great job handling the character.

The A-Team Finally I saw the movie based in the cult TV series. I enjoyed every scene of that movie, especially the ones with the new Murdock (Sharlto Copley, Wikus van de Merwe from District 9), but in general all the new A-team is badass. My favourite part was the tank scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYAZ__J2EmU), notable :wiseguy: Rating: 9/10

Iron Man 3
I liked it a bunch, much better than 2's sloppiness, but it wasn't as good as 1, unfortunately. But oh man, the Mandarin...
Spoiler: extremely long and incredibly dense(click to see content)
oh Mandy, what did they do to you? I mean, I like the whole plot of Killian spinning the accidental deaths from Extremis testing to terrorist bombings angle, but sacrificing the Mandarin for it did a huge, huge disservice to his character. I mean, yeah, Killian was actually the Mandarin the whole time, I get it, he says as much, and he's got dragon tattoos and stuff.... or wait, he also breathed fire. Maybe he's... FIN FANG FOOM?!?!
I mean, I get that the Mandarin would be hard to do, and what with China being a huge source of revenue, they have to tread carefully as to avoid offending them. But I really think they should have just not used the Mandarin at all if they couldn't do him justice. Use an original character to be the terrorist leader or something, I dunno. But I really think that the Mandarin could work, though probably not in the same movie as Extremis. You could have his rings be alien technology, perhaps from the Chitauri or something. They're gonna have basically magic alien tech in Guardians of the Galaxy, so I think the rings could work, especially if they're toned down a bunch. You could also go with the Mandarin's group using alien technology or something, and weave that plot together with Tony's PTSD from the wormhole incident, and give it some resolution at the end (in IM3 it sorta just... fixes itself?) It all could've worked, they could've built on all the hints from the first two movies about the 10 Rings organization and the Mandarin himself, and done it in such a way that stays true to the MCU's relative grounded-ness, IMO.

I'm sad there was not one AIM guy in their beekeeper outfit. (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091212173449/ironman/images/4/4d/Aim.gif) :(
I freaking loved the Tony/kid dynamic. Just superb.
There really should've been some throwaway line as to why Cap and SHIELD couldn't get involved, like they were dealing with the Winter Soldier or whatever. I know, it happens all the time in comics and stuff, but the director was saying before the movie came out that Tony wouldn't be able to call on them, but no real reason was given.
So, why exactly bother with a Yinsen cameo? I thought it was there to connect the Mandarin with the 10 Rings (terrorist group from the first film), to connect the Mandarin to the whole trilogy and have him be indirectly responsible for Iron Man existing. But then the Mandarin was revealed to be fake, so that connection is gone. But then again, all of the Mandy videos had 10 rings in their logo, so either Killian appropriated a known terrorist group's iconography to give his fake terrorist some legitimacy, or, perhaps, he started a long con and set up the 10 Rings organization way back when. I doubt it's the latter, as they'd probably have revealed that in the movie, but it's not impossible, I guess.
I'm so, so glad Tony saved the robot arm. I was really worried when the attack on the penthouse happened, because of course Pepper and Tony would be fine, but what about robot arm! It's the best!
Seems pretty weird to use a bunch of existing Marvel character names for the Extremis soldiers, while not being connected to them in any way. It's not really a complaint, it's just weird to have Tony Stark be fighting Man-Thing's wife.
I want a Stark & Rhodes buddy cop movie.
So, do you guys think Pepper still has her powers or not? Did Tony just fix the overheating aspect of Extremis, or did Pepper also lose her P-Hulk powers?
So, uh, the heart surgery at the end. That must've been taking advantage of Extremis technology, right? Because the whole thing from Iron Man 2 being that Tony was dying from palladium poisoning from his chest reactor, and it doesn't really make a ton of sense if he could've just gotten the shrapnel removed at any time. (I suppose it could be handwaved away by Tony's trust issues, but that doesn't really hold up) Oh and apparently the doctor who performs the surgery has more scenes in the Chinese version, so maybe those scenes reveal what the deal is with the surgery?
great fucking idea to butcher the mandarin. The director must have really liked resident evil 5 lol

Doing the Mandarin justice to his comics counterpart would probably ended up more than a little racist. You know, because the whole concept behind Mandarin was pretty racist to begin with.
But beyond that, I don't think they could have made the magic alien rings work in this Iron Man story. The Avengers may have had aliens and gods and magical whatevers, but the Iron Man solo movies have always been grounded in reality. Or at least as grounded in reality as you can get with a billionaire in a flying rocket robot suit. I still think adding vague alien super technology apropos of nothing would have been way out of place. And yes, I realize I'm saying this about a movie about a bunch of people getting healing lava and fire breath powers. But at least that was explained away with movie-magic psuedo science.
And even farther beyond that, Trevor Slattery was a great, hilarious character and I'm totally cool with him being the "Mandarin" in this universe. How great would it be if he actually does get his hands on some alien tech and turn into the Mandarin proper in a future movie? Imagine: Avengers 3, and you've got Thor and Captain America throwing down with drunken Ben Kingsley flying around shooting lasers. How amazing would that be?

Obviously Mandarin would not actually be Chinese, that goes without saying. Doing the Mandarin justice does not mean "make him a yellow peril caricature". Since Marvel was able to promote the movie's main villain as being Mandy, while calling him the Mandarin and using quasi-Chinese but not close enough to be offensive iconography, and get away with it all without any trouble, it stands to reason that if they had dropped the Killian character and had Mandy be behind everything, nothing would change. Leave his actually nationality vague, give a good reason why he's using the name Mandarin, and you're all set. And that's exactly what Marvel did, and it all worked out for them.
But beyond that, I don't think they could have made the magic alien rings work in this Iron Man story. The Avengers may have had aliens and gods and magical whatevers, but the Iron Man solo movies have always been grounded in reality.

It's easy, just repeatedly emphasize it's advanced alien technology. It's already been introduced in other movies, so it wouldn't be that out of place, and it's really not any more ridiculous or vague than firebreathing superstrong and invulnverable heat soldiers who got their powers from what amounts to a tossed off line about hacking the brain. And Captain America already managed a similar merging of grounded realism and fantastic alien technology!
And even farther beyond that, Trevor Slattery was a great, hilarious character and I'm totally cool with him being the "Mandarin" in this universe.

I love him too, but he shouldn't have been the Mandarin. They shot their wad on doing the Mandarin, so to speak. They already did the whole Batman Begins R'as Al Ghul thing for Mandarin, so introducing another one is both highly unlikely and too confusing. Whether it's giving Slattery alien rings (he doesn't seem like the type to turn evil anyway, and he doesn't have anything in common with the Mandarin anyway, so what's the point?) or revealing that there was actually a real Mandarin all along, whose name Killian stole and who leads the 10 Rings, it doesn't matter. It won't happen.

Killian was fin fang foom, hence the tattoos, there is over a hour and half cut from the movie for some reason, no idea what is there, but some say that there was an extra kingsley scene in a tank that got cut out.
imo it would have benefitted of making aim seem bigger, they kept talking of over dozens of scientists but you never actually saw anything. The hacking scene where tony gets to the videos are weird too, they made it seem like he just went into their page with rhodes login and they were there for the taking. the ten rings from the first movie looks like a dropped plot point which is really odd considering every villain so far had rings and allusions to them (http://www.ihavenet.com/images/ironman-movie-ironman-jeff-bridges-as-obadiah-stane.jpg)
and killian had three rings, which made it seem to keep up with the theme? (http://buz.fm/media/images/cropped/pearce_1367244642.jpg)
senseless wishing now. I kinda wish they had shown aim to have captured one of those big corpse monster things from the avengers movie. They could be reprocessing technology out of it , it would play well into tony fears when the monster released itself and having had a extremis treatment to it, become fin fang foom.

Killian fits the personality (somewhat) of the Mandarin, leads an evil organization, hates Tony Stark, and even calls himself the "real Mandarin." He ain't wearing no purple underpants. And the movie was big enough as it is; adding a Fin Fang Foom segment would just be overstuffing it, IMO.
Hopefully AIM will be back in some other movie; it's just too bad they missed out on a HYDRA connection, though that could always be inserted later.
Also the tank thing was totally in the movie, I guess it wasn't in the international cut. It was right after Stark and Rhodes went to Burger King™ and had a delightful conversation extolling the virtues of such a wonderful restaurant.

I'm assuming the Chinese guy he introduces to Tony is more important in the Chinese cut of the movie. If so, it's a nice way to close a loop from the first movie while starting what, I'm sure, it a very fulfilling subplot that I won't see for half a year.

Yay..was one of the few hundred or thousand peope here in Germany who could see the movie today while its starting officially next thursday.
I am a big fan of the old movies and must say..the new one is different but its good for the most time. The effects are good..the music very fitting, the story is okay..the movie just misses a funny antihero like Ash. The new characters are all quite..colorless. Still a nice movie which made me to see Bruce Campbell as Ash again. I hope the story about a good couple or more Evil Dead movie was not just a joke.

Skyfall.
Better than Quantum for sure, but still not as good as Casino Royale. I did like the ending, and the sheer childish obsessiveness of the villain was ok, but a lot of the movie to me just didn't seem like it was a proper James Bond movie. Liked Q coming back, but he just seemed like a little twit to me. Oh, and the Bond girls had nothing going for them in this movie.
I understand the reboot and all, but I think they're taking the Die Another Day Syndrome a bit too far. Perhaps it's because I'm looking at this through the lens of the older Bond movies but a lot of the charm just seems to be lost and the reboot is in a lot of ways indistinguishable from your ordinary action movie.
Still, the ending picked it up, pretty much saying "OK, back to classic Bond now".

Madagascar 3 Wasn't expecting too much from this one, but overall it was really nice. Loved how they depicted French and Italians. My God, I swear we're not like that (or are we? LOL). The circus idea is well put into place, and the characters are lovely, as usual. Grade : 7/10
The Grandmasters I can't really grade this one, since I only watched 50 minutes of it. It's so slow, and the story was not interesting at all to me. The few fight scenes I got to see were really nice, but they're lost between minutes (that feel like hours) of uninteresting chit-chat and people babbling about useless stuff. :( So yeah, after 50 minutes I stopped watching the movie out of boredom.

Well, by that point the movie reaches it's climax with Jack completely losing it and the ghosts not even trying to be subtle about their haunting, so Wendy's hallucination's do nothing more than emphasize the ongoing atmosphere of horror and progressing dementia. My personal favourite is the elevator scene; I love how Wendy looks like she's about to hopelessly fall on her knees in shock upon witnessing all the blood pouring out from inside.

I think I'm one of the very few who loved this film. Maybe it's because I was never really into Bond that much, and Skyfall did seem like it was geared towards a much more general audience. I also feel like the Bourne Identity set up a lot of the current spy films with a ragged and tough protaganist, shaky cams and fancy-schmancy gunplay. Yeah, the story was a little weak and convenient, but as far as I am concerned, I loved the damn thing. I saw it twice in the theatre and must've watched the opening about 100 times.
Looper
This was fucking awesome. What makes Looper fantastic is it's refreshing take on the time travel, sci-fi genre: The story was tight and the set pieces were believable. I really liked the retro-fitted vehicles and the slums in the middle of the streets. With that type of detail, part of the story is being told without even speaking a word. The twist revealed at about the same time as ending was also very well implemented, thus prompting a second view. And seeing how the past can affect your... limbs... was an eye opener and just awesome. And clever.
I'd buy this right away if I wasn't budgeting myself at the moment. I give it an 8 out of 10.

Hmm. That is good to know. I never really buy into hype or advertisements, I just go by trailers and forge my own opinion. I then may look into what IMDB says. Rotten Tomatoes is too... gradeschool-ish for my tastes. I feel that constantly looking into what others are saying only sways what you're going to presume, so I save all of that for after I have viewed something.
To me, Rotten Tomatoes like the IMT of movie reviewers. IMDB is like Guild. LOL

I often rely on ROtten Tomatoes just to get a general grade. I just look quickly at the tomato meter and the average grade people gave the movie. I don't actually read the reviews. Just knowing the percentage of people who have liked the movie or not is often enough to know if the movie will probably be enjoyable or not.

I generally try to avoid basing opinions on trailers, since most of the time they only show the best parts of the movie. While that's the point (to get you interested enough to see the movie), they can be quite misleading at times, which can be good (ie: A Beautiful Mind was NOT what I thought it was going to be about, and I ended up loving it), but most of the time it's bad.
My method is nowhere near foolproof, but I usually follow a stable of certain directors or studios, and then I'll see if I can find anything new based on connections.
To give an example, I am a fan of stop-motion and Halloween-themed movies, so when Paranorman came out, I went to see it. I enjoyed it, so I looked up the studio's previous works, and watched Coraline. I saw that it was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards but lost to Up (which... I guess deserved it story-wise, but IMO Coraline should've won for everything else) the year it was in.
Meanwhile, I was watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit in my downtime, so I looked at the director's other works, and I saw The Thief and The Cobbler (the fan edit, not the official release). After reading interviews, I read that there were a lot of animators that were influenced by that movie, and one such movie was inspired by its animation techniques, called The Secret of Kells, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Kells) and that it happened to get an Academy Award nomination the same year Coraline did, so I decided to check it out.
Granted, I know the Academy Awards is a farce and is rarely correct, but I think you get the general idea of how I discover movies.

Whenever I'm interested in a movie, I usually just research as much info on it as possible. If a review is part of the research I won't care about how good/bad it is as long as it gives me a general idea what to expect. I tend not to seek out trailers unless they're for B-Movies (those tend to be entertaining).
Straightforward I know, but it's helped lead me to some favorites of mine, like Hardware and Combat Shock.

I dunno, it's kind of an unfair comparison; Rotten Tomatoes, at least, relies on critic reviews, and while it's nowhere near perfect, I would much prefer to hear from professionals than random people on the internet.

Good point. That comparison came from IMT being general, and how I felt RT is also general: as In their scores cone from a simple blurb.
But then those blurbs come from a full review that you can read in full by clicking on it. Hell, I just shot myself down here!! ::)
I will always like IMDB more though. To me, they just seem more thorough. And their opinions generally suit mine more too.

Yes, yes, your mileage may vary. At one point I was a film history student so I more closely identify with RT than IMDB but there are of course exceptions (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter got terrible reviews across the board, but I enjoyed it, even if I didn't feel the need to buy it later).

Star Trek: Into Darkness 8/10
Better than the first one. Better villain especially. I'm not sure if everyone knows who it is, but I ain't gonna spoil it and I have no clue how to work the spoilers (Fuckin' demon magic). Disappointed by lack of Shatner cameo. Either way, I really enjoyed

You bring up a good point ... I'm not sure if they just haven't found a way to incorporate Shatner into the reboot mythos, or he's just been associated with so much crazy shit he just wouldn't be taken seriously, where as Leonard Nimoy is just as distinguished as ever.
... Or maybe they just decided to bring back Nimoy because of the uncanny resemblance Zachary Quinto holds with him :P

Most likely. There were multiple occasions to where I did a double take and had to remind myself that I wasn't looking at a younger Leonard Nimoy. He and the actor who played Bones nailed it 100%.

Repo Man (1984)
I was on the fence about this movie until I saw that Bryan Lee O'Malley did some fan art of one of the minor characters (http://radiomaru.tumblr.com/post/48732380458/i-just-saw-repo-man-1984-for-the-first-time), so I decided to give it a shot.
It was a great movie. At first, it felt a little slow because it took a while to ease into the universe, but after a while, you get hooked into it. The dialogue between the characters just feels so gritty and raw, and there are tons of memorable moments. And the punk rock soundtrack kicks ass. Totally recommended.

Got to see Star Trek and I'm fairly disappointed. It was okay. Great action scenes and effects. But I was disappointed in several things. Primarily that the villain had very little personality. He could have been a robot and he would have been as lethal.
Spoiler: to go more in depth(click to see content)
I loved the super soldier aspect of Kahn, but the personality was way too dry. He has no philosophical lines or intellectual repartee. After he crashed to Earth I was expecting him to get away and we'd have a good 30 more minutes of more stimulating story about wits and less popcorn war action. Also the recreation of the end of Wrath of Kahn was horrible! Then it was, okay, then horrible again. I was expecting that Spock would prevent the same fate from occurring after talking with future spock but no we got the same scene but roles reversed. It started off stupid that they were repeating. Dumber that Kirk lasted so much longer in the radiation and had time/energy to kick the laser back into place and get back. Then it got emotional and I was tearing up and thought it was a good scene. Then they ruined it by making Spock yell "KAAAHHHNNN" The whole audience laughed. It totally took away from the emotion and made the entire idea shift back to being stupid again.
And, why did they need Kahn alive? They had 72 more super soldiers with super blood they could use to bring Kirk back to life. It would have been better to have Kirk come back and convince Spock to go the moral high route and not kill Kahn. Not because they needed him alive.
Anyway, it's a great action space movie. It's just not a Star Trek movie.

Very well said.
I watched a few movies this week, so I'll go in order from the worst to the bond-blowing best.
The Forgotten (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356618/?ref_=sr_1)
Seriously?? This film had awesomeness written all over it. If you think about the plot, all of the workings were there, it's just that execution wise, the film flops. Miserably. Here we see Juliane Moore pout about children and run from mysterious people for about two hours, with bits about kids vanishing and people getting sucked into the sky. And memories that may or may not have happened. And coincidentally, ex hockey players share the same problems as you. Go figure.
5/10. Pass.
Special (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479162/)
This one was a surprise. Michael Rapaport plays a timid and shy parking meter attendant who is looking for a way to defeat his depression, so he takes an experimental drug to get out of his funk. What follows is a great story that takes from the notion of believing in yourself. It's just as good as it is obscure and totally worth a view.
Three words can describe this little gem of a film perfectly: Holy. Fucking. WOW. At first, this Spanish import starts off quite average and you ask yourself "OK, what does this movie have to do with time?? And what crime for that mater??" Then our main character receives a phone call that's random and silent. You wonder why. He then goes into his back yard and uses his binoculars while chilling on his lawn chair. With what he sees, that's when the film grabs your attention and does not let go until the very end. I have a feeling that the writer/director had a hard time naming this and figuring out how to portray this film through it's boxart, because the picture is completely misleading (Well, I could see why it's called Timecrime though). I'd also recommend to not read the synopses before reading as it will spoil it for you.
What makes this brilliant are the consequences it puts the main character through and the stunningly immaculate attention to detail. You notice things moreover as the film progresses. The writer really thought this shit out. It's deep.
I normally don't go nuts over films like this, but seriously, Timecrimes is that good.

También la lluvia
Spanish movie set in Bolivia, starring mexican pretty boy Gabriel Garcia Bernal. It's a film in a film; the main characters are the staff filming a documental about the Spanish conquest.
That's only on the surface, though. The real message is that the poor people of the town they're filming in suffer at the hands of the privatized water company , in the same way their non-historically accurate ancestors suffered at the hands of Spaniards.
It's a beatiful movie. 10/5.

Iron Man 3
A otherwise solid movie that choked on its own special effects, completely dropped an interesting plot point, and screwed up the hero's iconic villain in a valiant but ultimately stupid effort. It entertains, and very well, but is noticeably flawed.
7/10
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
This wasn't so much an Iron Man movie as it was a Tony Stark movie, and it failed at doing even that right. His PTSD is utterly un-addressed but heavily used in the plot*. We aren't told anything meaningful by the epilogue other than "Tony fixed Extremis, yay". The suit isn't a part of him, it's a convenience for the plot and an excuse to do flashy FX scenes, to the point I honestly wondered why they bothered using the Mk 42 most of the time instead of having him switch it up once or twice in the film before the "form rush" at the end.
Also, am I the only one who feels like they tried to be a little too funny? When Pepper fell I was juiced for a raging brawl, instead I get the Prodigal Son Mk 42 splattering all over the place with an out-of-place (albeit in-character) bemoaning. Or the 42 getting hit by the truck? Or literally every scene with Ben Kingsley not "in character"? It seemed like half the comic relief was in odd places that were less funny and more undermining the scenes previous and following.
Also Rhodes was a little too useless. I wish we'd've at least seen him mix it up a bit with the other suits against the Extremis soldiers. But with how dangerous those guys were to the suits, I suppose at least him not getting in the action made some sense.
*If this gets used in a meaningful way in Avengers 2, then I will forgive this oversight in a heartbeat.

Star Trek 2: Red Shirts Die Some More.
Really, though, Into Darkness was absolutely great. I'm no super Trek fan, but I still appreciate the original, and I see they do too here. Everyone fits the roles they are meant to, the movie's funny, the action's great, the music's fitting and enjoyable, the emotional bits are well done, and the references are perfect.

Though from Kahn's reveal on, all I could think of was a mix between Captain America and Master Chief.

Stephanie Meyer writes a book about inter-species love, with fantasy chacters -> It gets greenlit to be a movie -> It flies under my radar, and accidentally go watch it with my wife -> My wife wants to exit the theater 20 minutes into the movie. It's not Twilight, but it manages to be even cornier and dumber.

The Beyond (1981)
This is a movie for my nigga Djoulz. Top notch, gory 80's make-up effects. Zombies, Demons, Man-eating spiders, crucifixions (kind of), death by sulfuric acid, YOU NAME IT, it has it all. The music reminds me heavily of 97's Orochi Theme.

I've been on a huge Doctor Who binge recently, so I decided to give this a go. And it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect to see in a mid-nineties, mid-budget sci-fi movie intended to serve as a backdoor pilot to a TV series. It can get pretty cheesy, even by Doctor Who standards, but it's good enough for what it is.

Star Trek Into Darkness
It was good. Much better than the last one. But it still felt... I dunno, not really like a Star Trek movie. But unlike the previous one, it felt like it was almost one. Which is good, and hopefully the next one they'll have the formula down right, cause they've almost got it.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Like, there's two thematic threads running through the movie; Kirk's "never lost anyone under my command" vs. Spock's "needs of the many", and the militarization of Starfleet by Admiral Robocop (and overstepping national/political/moral boundaries in the name of security) and the idea of doing really bad things for a good cause (Khan's terrorism to free his comrades, Kirk being ordered to essentially murder Khan via drone, Scotty's "I thought we were explorers", etc.). The former is basically resolved by stealing the climax of Wrath of Khan (which makes it pretty weak and not all there), and the latter sort of just peters out entirely. The movie just jumps ahead a year and everything's fine, there's no war with the Klingons that Admiral Robocop was sure he had started, there's no real resolution to any of the questions raised. It's pretty disappointing because it seemed like they were interested in exploring that, and that's the kind of thing that Star Trek is all about.
But the biggest problem, I think. is the fact that they made the villain Khan. There's really no reason why he had to be the villain. The story probably would've worked better if he really was just John Harrison. Even ignoring the weirdness of casting perhaps the pastiest, most British person in the universe to play a South Asian character, it just felt like a waste of Khan to use him like this. It really just seems like they wanted to do a highlight reel of all the cool things people remember from Wrath of Khan: that's why Carol Marcus is there even though she's pretty pointless as a character (and also randomly British?), that's why they reused the radiation chamber thing, and it's why Spock screams KHAAAAAAAAAN, because it happened in Wrath of Khan. Even though that the reason Kirk is dead is because Admiral Robocop fired on them, not Khan. And that Spock thinks Khan is dead. And that Kirk was yelling KHAAAAAAN in the first place to trick Khan into thinking he had Kirk trapped. The yelling was just laugh-inducing, realling spoiling the death scene, which even though it shamelessly cribs from Wrath of Khan, still is emotionally effecting simply because Pine and Quinto are that damn good. It just felt like a Mad Libs version of Wrath of Khan towards the end, and it all seems completely unnecessary.
And there were lots of plot holes, although they were not as noticeable as the last one's. There's the one JNP mentioned, the blood thing, though I guess that could be handwaved away by the fact that McCoy doesn't know if the other augments had magic blood. But... what exactly was Khan's plan? At first I thought he was acting under orders from Admiral Robocop, but I guess everything, from the London bombing, to the attack on Starfleet HQ, to warping to the Klingon homeworld was all him, and the admiral just took advantage of the situation to try and start a war with the Klingons. So, why exactly did Khan think it would be a good idea to flee to Kronos? Was he just gonna hide there for the rest of his days? Why not warp to the shipyard near Jupiter and commandeer that ship that doesn't need a crew? And then, why fire on the Klingons that had Kirk and company? What did he gain from all that? And then there was the torpedoes... why? The could still function perfectly well, despite having a crytube in them. Fine, whatever. Why doesn't Khan tell Kirk what's in them? He has no reason to hide that, and not telling Kirk that almost got one of his crew killed when the torpedo blew.
Wow, that was a lot. :I

DC Animated Movie marathon with my nerd friends. :goofy:
Batman: Gotham Knight Art style wasn't really that great. Story was bland in some parts IMO. This is my least favorite animated DC movie.
6/10
Batman: Under the Red Hood Art style is perfect. Story, not so much. Not really the worse, but not the best either.
8/10
Green Lantern: First Flight Perfect art style and story. The only thing that makes this movie horrible to me? I hate Green Lantern.
8/10
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths THIS is what i'm looking for. I loved it. Every single second of it.
10/10
Justice League: The New Frontier Alright, so i'm guessing that this movie is set during WWII times? I hate it. Some parts were cool. Mostly, not so much. And Martian Manhunter looks like a joke in his "friendlier" form lol.
7/10
Superman: Doomsday Very awesome movie. And since I don't really read the comics that much, I actually thought Superman died there.
10/10
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Much like Crisis on Two Earths, I loved every single second of this movie.
10/10
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse I don't know what, but something's very off in this movie. And wow, Darkseid is a prick lol.
8/10
Wonder Woman Art style is great, and so is the story. Too bad I hate Wonder Woman.
8/10
I'm pretty sure there were a lot more movies, but I think I fell asleep halfway? I'm not sure.

No, it takes place right before Kennedy gets elected (1960). That's actually where the phrase "New Frontier" comes from, his inauguration speech. It's a far better comic than movie, that's to be sure. Felt too rushed.
Return of The Joker is a pretty good recommendation. The Dark Knight Returns adaptation is good too.
Return of the Joker? Is that the Batman Beyond one?

The Sorcerer and the White Snake; The Kung Fu scenes where they didn't use the shotty CGI were actually really cool, excluding the first scene. The romance in the story was really forced, I mean White Snake and Xu Xian fall in love after first meeting and get married after a week? That's just me though. The CGI imo is really bad in some scenes. The story wasn't great either, although that may just be that i'm too critical of movies based off of old legends.
It was strictly alright, it has its up and downs.

NICE!! A shout out to Mask of the Phantasm. Great flick as the Animated Series was pretty fucking epic. And still is. I say Phantasm rates up there with the Dark Knight IMO.
I've been behind in mentioning what I've been watching. So here goes...
Star Trek (2009)
I finally got around to purchasing this on Blu-Ray, and for only 15.00!! Overall, it's solid with a good story and awesome action; I enjoy it every time I watch it. And Quinto as Spock makes you double take plenty of times. His resemblance to a younger Nimoy is striking.
Into Darkness
I saw this one a few weeks ago and man was it awesome. It's hard to say which one is better, so I'll go on to say they are equally impressive. Spock is still badass (I loved the fight scene at the end) and I liked pretty much everything about this film. A second viewing may be happening soon.
@Jmorphman: Admiral Robocop?? That's how I will remember Peter Weller from now on. Awesome.

Aronofsky for life.
I try to watch The Fountain once a year, and every time I discover something new about the plot. Almodovar's Bad Education (2004)
Great movie. A tad dark, but very well pulled off. At times it felt like I was watching a new movie every 1/2 hour. Almodovar is a genious, I just hadn't taken a dip in his filmography. After this one, and "The Skin I Live In" I will definitely watch more.

Not a fan of The Dark Knight Returns. Think it's really over rated. The Killing Joke > TDKR. They should really adapt The Killing Joke already.
Last House On The Left - 6/10 Holy crap that was disappointing. I was expecting something awesome and all I got was average. Sigh...probably my least favorite of the Wes Craven movies I've seen. It seemed more like a dark comedy at parts and the ending? That was kind of stupid. And what was with making the girl piss herself? That was just strange! Eugh. Over rated as hell, Ima go watch A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Ted Finally I could see it, but it was in a bus to another region and it was dubbed to latin spanish (which it's not the same as Spain spanish), which I dissapointed me to see it, but finally it conquerers me and the movie itself it was pure awesome, I tried to ignore it in a beginning and in the end I was trying to avoid laugh to not awake the rest of the bus. And the Flash Gordon party, OMG, was an explosion of laughs (which I had to contain, sadly). Just awesome, simply awesome this movie
Spoiler: Spanish language only(click to see content)
Sí, estaba doblada, lo que me mató un poco, pero al ver que no se controlaban con el lenguaje, me terminó conquistando. Oir a Ted diciendo "no seas pendejo, yo sólo soy un puto oso de peluche" cambió mi idea sobre esta peli doblada. Y además Mario "Goku" Castañeda hace la voz de Mark Wahlberg. Totalmente recomendable verla doblada, en serio ;)
Rating: 8/10 -> it would be 10/10 in other situation, so... let's find it to watch again!!
Payback Mel Gibson is back as a badass who can kill anyone without feelings, all of this involved with guns, drugs, mafias and corrupted cops. Mel's chaacter reminds me a lot of Mad Max, nuff'said about this movie. And Lucy Liu as a BDSM dominatrix, OMG :smitten: Rating: 9.5/10

curiously enough, i found the Director's Cut less interesting overall: there was something about the pace of the movie, the editing wasn't as good as the theatrical version, the soundtrack didn't fit anymore (whereas the theatrical version had that sweet bluesy sound going that fit perfectly). it is the first time i think i really don't like a Director's Cut version

On a more serious note, there was an odd amount of people dying. It's not like I'd expect him to save everyone when the problem doesn't give that opportunity, but still. Lotta dead people that are quickly forgotten for a Superman film. Doesn't detract enough to bring the movie down, though.

There's a lot of good stuff at the beginning, the whole Kryptonian act is great, then young Clark scenes are great too, when he does not break the shit out of the bully is a good scene, Costner did a great job as Sups Dad. And then the ending fight, Mark Waid is right, the movie doesn't build up to the final neck breaking moment, I'm not but any means a comic book fan and I find it really forced as a story that's being told about an alien guy who really cares about humans. I'm still deciding if I liked it or not, I think I'll rewatch it in his original language to decide if wich side wins, had to go to the dubbed version last night for girlfriend reasons, thankfully the latin dubs are ok.

Man of Steel (yeah I saw it too)
It was an excellent PG-13 Invincible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_%28comics%29) movie. But as a Superman movie it was kind of inherently flawed. Fights were awesome though. They should have just given everyone mustaches.
Next time someone asks if I've seen this movie I'll say "Yeah, Invincible was great".

resident evil retribution
probably my favorite from the resident evil movie franchise. I loathe alice, like i cant stand her at all. Shes a clone of a clone whos been cloned to do cloned things by umbrella and yadda yadda. She has no actually backstory, shes not relevant to any resident evil game and she made jill look bad in the second movie, seriously fuck alice. In this movie though.. i actually liked her character for once. Shes trying to save her cloned daughter from an uber licker(lol thats what they are called in the movie) while meeting up with leon and his crew in an attempt to escape from the underwater umbrella facility. Story wise its pretty good(lol @wesker story), action scenes imo were bad.
7/10, im hyped for the next installment
Silent hill revelations
I vaguely remember the first silent hill movie but from what i recall it wasnt that good. This movie wasnt that great either. Pyramid head is one of my favorite fictional monsters ever, so the moments hes in the movie really got me tingly on the inside. I like the transitions from normal reality to the otherworld. haven't played a silent hill since homecoming but the transitions were just like in that game. Travis grady at the end was a nice touch(i think the police going to silent hill was a reference to silent hill downpour, not sure though havent played the game}
5/10, not that great of a movie but would probably be a nice watch for a silent hill fan

Man Of Steel
as much as i hate to admit it, most of the people i've heard talking about the movie were absolutely right: the pace is what killed it to me, as i found myself wondering how much time had passed since the beginning of the movie, a few times too :( it IS however a completely different approach to the character/mythos (which is nice), & it could lead to very cool stuff in the future... i thought it was taking itself a little bit too seriously, lacking that humor (which they tried a very few times to implement but felt forced somehow).
now i do NOT know how to feel about this movie: it's loaded with content, as much emotionally, visually, script or action wise; it's packed with everything needed to be a great film...but in the end, i felt like the chemistry between all the elements was missing or something.
-/10 (will have to watch it again much later to really see, after a little digestion)

Transformers: The Movie
Also known as Kill Your Childhood: To The Tune of 80's Metal. Really it's just a longer, better animated, and darker in tone episode of the old Generation 1 TV series. Deaths of countless TF characters be damned. That's not entirely a bad thing, but just bear that in mind if you're planning on watching it for the first time.

Even though it wasn't very faithful to the book or do it any justice, the movie had tons of potential to be a great movie. 5 or 10 minutes into the movie and there are already zombie attacks going on. Thanks for the character development there chief! Also the scene with zombies climbing the wall in Jerusalem was really stupid. I mean it just HAD to happen when Brad Pitt was there, and tons of choppers flying around couldn't stop the zombies. Plus the people are stupid for making all that noise (if the noise was that much to begin with? Really?) All those things aside it was okay I guess. Could have been much better.

I would give it a 6 tops because the CGI was really good and as a science fiction zombie movie I thought it was pretty good. I haven't seen many zombie movies but I liked the approach they took with this one it sort of felt refreshing. And the ending kinda hints at a sequel (or not. Most likely a parallel story or something).
Even without the gore the movie was decent, it had some really good scares which worked well with the 3D effects (there was a scene with a jump scare that I'm pretty sure the entire row where I was sitting jumped in unisson. D:

Played out more like an extra-long episode of a typical mecha anime than an actual movie. It didn't really end either, not unlike Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back.

To The Wonder (2012, directed by Terrence Malick)
this, folks, is a pretty special movie (as usual with that director): you can love it, hate it, not understand it...understand it but hate it or love it even if you had absolutely no idea what was going on: it is SO fragmented editing wise, with pieces of scenes here and there, contemplating the relationship between an American guy named Neil (Ben Affleck) & a French woman (Olga Kurylenko)...and that's about it! it is a different kind of cinema, experimental in the way that the directing is not focusing on the "events" or plot or whatever the standard cinema has used us to see. if you're familiar with the guy's previous work, you will understand the evolution of his cinema that made him make this one (his last one was Tree Of Life): thing is it might come off as intellectual masturbation when watching it, when it has absolutely no pretention whatsoever.
9/10

Man of Steel
I dunno. It was better than Returns. But that's not saying much. Or anything, because fuck Returns, it was wretched.
So uh yeah, it looked very pretty and the action was good but it was completely hollow inside. And they fucked up a lot of things about Superman's character. Maybe one day we'll get a good Superman movie, a movie worthy of him, a movie that he deserves.

I actually thought it portrayed a more accessible Superman. He's more down to Earth, he knows he has no boundaries, so he acts a lot more composed when making decisions ... but it's an "origins" movie, he's still green, he wants to know things about himself, and the script actually pushes his character to the limits of his own immaturity for the sake of seeing him grow.
Of course Comic fans will never be satisfied. Supes has been written across decades by dozens of different people. Zach Snyder specifically said this plot isn't based on any particular plot line or comic event, so he's as entitled as any other dumbass through the years that has written anything about the character to make his own story, and frankly I liked it.
As a Superman comic book story is questionable. As a movie, it's a great destruction fest. Questionable in Superman's methods to deal with the threat, but in the context of the movie you clearly see he doesn't have all the answers (he's not god, for christ sakes, stop expecting godlike reasoning of him) and he works with the cards he's dealt with.
AS A MOVIE, I give it a 7.5 out of 10. It's good entertainment.

And those are just the easy, obvious ones. One could probably include most other MCU movies, Spidey 2 and X2, and Batman Begins pretty easily. Obviously not every single person will be satisfied, but they all easily meet the threshold of popular opinion. Man of Steel does not. And that is not the fault of snooty comic book fans.
Maybe one day we'll get a good Superman movie, a movie worthy of him, a movie that he deserves.
We did.
It was made in '78.

Ehhhh. Not a big fan. Christopher Reeve is phenomenal, but the movie also has CAN YOU READ MY MIND, Lex Luthor's retarded land scheme, Otis, the first appearance of AI Jor-El who tells Clark to become Superman instead of Supes deciding for himself, the time travel stuff that doesn't exactly make a ton of sense, and personally I thought Margot Kidder was a bit too neurotic for Lois Lane but that's a pretty minor quibble because she does pretty good otherwise.

Grave of The Fireflies
An emotionally manipulative and boring piece of *dolphin noise.* The girl protagonist has an annoying voice (I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear than hear that voice), the characters are forgettable and have no motives or outstanding personalities, nothing interesting or unique ever happens, there is NO CLIMAX, every character established in it is killed before it ends without resolving ANYTHING, and anyone with a brain knows you don't survive a nuclear attack. (http://www.icanw.org/)
Note: I am capable of crying during an anime, but only if the characters have had strong moments to connect me to them. Otherwise, I couldn't care less.

Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: The MegaBrony on June 28, 2013, 08:18:36 am
Any nuclear attack, especially not Grave's. The characters' only purpose was to get killed, so the writers didn't give them goals or anything.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Bizarro Santamorphman on June 28, 2013, 08:23:54 am
There is no nuclear attack in Grave of the Fireflies.
Their purpose, their goal was one of survival; it's pretty basic. Lots of stories focus only on that. This one simply ends poorly. And hey, Seita also wants to find his father, that's another goal.

Yeah, a realistic story about two kids without parents during WW2. What could be their goal ? Maybe saving the world from an Alien attack ? Or probably becoming the next biggest basket-ball players for the NBA ? Or maybe save Los Angeles from a terrorist attack ? OR HOW ABOUT THEY TRY TO SURVIVE AND THE MOVIE FOCUSES ON EMOTIONS !? And about the girl voice, did you watch the movie in Japanese or English ?
John Carter Pretty entertaining yet basic action movie, with a love story, lots of special effects and very nice battles. The movie won't be remembered for long, but it's still a nice watch. Grade : 7/10
Berserk, Golder Arc 3 - Descent As a big fan of Berserk, I was waiting for this last movie, being the climax I knew it had to be. It didn't disapointed. The animation is wonderful, the models look far better than in the two first movies, the pace is perfect. It's a great adaptation of the manga, that's all I have to say. I'm now hoping they'll give the same treatment to other arcs, but that'd probably be asking too much. Grade : 8.5/10

M (Germany, 1931)
The first thing that caught me off-guard was that this movie was filmed in 1931 and was the director's first movie with sound. With all the innovative camera-work and transitions, as well as a great use of sound to convey emotion, it feels way ahead of its time, and stacks up VERY well with movies of today.
The second is the general plotting. It revolves around a man who murders children, but seen from the standpoint of the community. You get to witness police desperation, loss of freedoms, and vigilantism. What caught me off guard about this is as follows
Spoiler: Only read if you NEVER intend to see this movie, which means you're either stupid or your tastes are bad. Or I guess if you're curious, dunno(click to see content)
Eventually an organization of criminals and beggars decides to hunt for him themselves to beat the police so they can resume their "smaller" crimes. Throughout the movie, you start to see their ingenuity, and you start rooting for them to catch the murderer. At the same time, you start seeing the murderer being more and more unstable. As the movie continues, you start changing gears from rooting for the people trying to catch the murderer to hoping the murderer can escape his fate, which all climaxes in a kangaroo court where the murderer gives a moving monologue about his insanity while all the criminals are ready to kill him with their bare hands. Of course the very last scene reminds us that he is still a murderer and of what he's done.

Saw this was supposed to come on last night, so I decided to give it a watch. Wasn't really that scary imo. But I gotta say wow. If you watch this movie and get to a certain part, then you already know how it will end. Any idiot could see the ending coming. But it was still surprising lol. Justin Long is one of my favorite actors, and it's always funny how things always never end up working out for him in a lot of the movies he's in! xD Anyways, it's an ok movie, but not something to watch if you wanna see something legit scary. 6/10

Man of Steel
Boy, this movie.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Can't say I hated the movie. It definitely could have been a much better reboot but overall not bad. They could have cut down a bit of the action scenes and work on the character and story development a bit, specially for characters like Lois. I think I got the wrong impression of what Supes' bio dad is suppose to be, he just sounds creepy in this movie, instead of telling Clark to act for the greater good and save people he's more concerned about the fact that people might find out about his powers and shit even though no one seems to give a shit later in the movie when he's busy tearing down buildings.
Waaaay too much destruction going on. Way too many scenes where Superman could fly away easily without crashing every single time into a building or something. Overall I liked the cast, Faora was badass and I liked Henry Cavill as Superman.
I also disliked the fact that Jor-El is constantly going around helping everyone even after being killed. I know it's a hologram, but someone's death loses its meaning when said person is still able to be more useful and have more screen time than for eg: the love interest of the main character. I mean how is Superman suppose to feel sad after finding out that his parents died trying to save him while the planet exploded, if his dad is still going around tell everyone what to do as if he's actually there. It just loses it's meaning imo.
The Zod neck snapping didn't bother me much except for maybe the fact that it was a scene which could have been better constructed and justified instead of "lol im gonna break your neck now cuz apparently i just now realized that humans mean a lot to me and that you're extremely dangerous to the point that I can't throw you somewhere else instead, even though hundreds of people probably died because I can't properly fly without crashing into everything."
Also lol in the end "HE SAVED US" (landscape with center of Metropolis completely leveled, random people start coming out of the rubble. what the fuck)
I also liked the visuals of the film a lot, action scenes we're simply amazing and for some reason I really liked the scene where they're getting inside Clark's mind and he starts drowning in the skulls. D:
Also I have to call bullshit on the fact that people have been saying Hans Zimmer's OST is over produced. The OST is fine, the problem is that given the pace of the movie and the structure in the which the scenes are presented, they couldn't help but fuck up on the placement of the OST tracks, in which you're always listening to the same 2 tracks in almost every scene.
All of that aside, I hope the sequel won't have as much mindless destruction and that will hopefully focus more on Superman's characterization, because honestly I really liked this movie and I think it's safe to take it slowly with the sequel and produce something truly extraordinary.

I love how you completely miss the point of the movie.
Some stuff I saw yesterday:
Under Siege
A typical Steven Seagal movie in most ways, but Tommy Lee Jones makes a good villain.
Battle: Los Angeles
I like the alien invasion genre in general, and this movie gives a lot of it as well as a very high amount of good fight scenes. The way the military acts with each other and the civilians is a nice touch, and the protagonist of the movie has a decently intriguing backstory.

Europa Report
pretty decent, and thumbs up for some relatively nice composition/landscapes/shots considering the scale of the movie (definitely not a major production): it is the story of the first ever trip to a VERY far destination into space, one of the moon of Jupiter (Europa) to gather informations/samples because of evidences of water below the ice surface!
not the movie of the year, average acting at best but surprisingly it is not boring: one of the major downer is the structure of the movie, using the "found footage after the incident" with flashbacks/jump forwards kind of stuff... being absolutely fascinated by space exploration, it was nice overall
7/10

I was disappointed, honestly. Or maybe I was expecting way too much. I just couldn't like Superman's actor, he was so stiff and emotionless that I just couldn't like it. And god, near the end of the film it was all about special effects for mass destruction and that's it. I don't have fun just seeing that. It's not a bad film, but I was expecting more than just that.
Also, why in God's name is Superman causing more destruction than the villains? :-\

According to some half-assed googling on my part, tinted glasses existed as far back as the 18th century, and as reported by an unknown source that Wikipedia claims is "dubious", sunglasses were given to sufferers of syphilis, to protect their eyes from the sun. So, obviously very firm evidence to the contrary.
So anyways I guess it might have been possible, but not very probable? I dunno, it just seems like part of the fun of Django, along with the music, Fritz the horse, etc. He's so cool he has sunglasses before they even existed!
Spoiler: question that contains spoilers(click to see content)
Does he have sunglasses after the montage sequence (i.e., the scenes when they're undercover)? It's been half a year since I saw it but I think he had them at the end, in which case they would be Candie's and Django stole them, which might be a tad more plausible? Maybe?
Personally, I hated the ending. Gave me the impression of the usual Dreamworks animated feature film problem of "shit we don't know how to end this... fuck it, everyone has a dance party at the end"
Dude, spoilers.
Spoiler: also(click to see content)
It could've ended easily enough with a fade to white after the AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUU scene; all the plot threads had been wrapped up and the character arcs completed (well, I have seen some rumors that Emma Watson had more scenes, but apparently walked off set because it was too raunchy for her. It probably had something to do with the final Danny McBride scene, I guess) The Backstreet Boys thing was just an amazing bonus. All movies should end with a late 90's boy band dance party in heaven.

Much Ado About Nothing
This is the one by Joss Whedon, the one he filmed in 2 weeks at his house. And mostly stars his friends from his old works:
Spoiler: I'm sure nobody cares about the cast(click to see content)
Amy Acker (Angel, Dollhouse) as Beatrice, Alexis Denisof (Buffy/Angel, Dollhouse, Avengers) as Benedick, Fran Kranz (Dollhouse, Cabin in the Woods) as Claudio, Nathan Fillion (Firefly/Serenity, Dr. Horrible) as Dogberry, Tom Lenk (Buffy, Cabin in the Woods) as Verges, Sean Maher (Firefly/Serenity) as Don John, Reed Diamond (Dollhouse) as Don Pedro, and Clark Gregg (Avengers) as Leonato (it would've been Anthony Stewart Head, but there were scheduling conflicts, which sucks, but Gregg was a good replacement).
It's great. Whedon does an excellent job in staging things, he's really grown into being a great director. Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof are fan-fucking-tastic; in particular, Denisof gets to do some amazing physical comedy that brought back memories of Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. And Nathan Fillion does a great Dogberry. Also, this movie rectified a huuuge oversight from Cabin in the Woods, in that Fran Kranz is has a shirtless scene in this movie after cruely being denied one in Cabin.
So yeah, go watch it.

You gotta give the Joker's Theme credit though. That singular, building note is clever, creepy and fitting. I personally loved the Dark Knight's score.
And speaking of Nolan's work, I finally saw the Man of Steel earlier this evening. While it's not particularly epic or mind blowing, I thought it was pretty good. I liked Zod's character, and that General Chick of his was badass and... hot in my opinion. And those bad guy costumes/armour: fucking awesome. But damn, Supes leveled entire landscapes and acted as if nothing happened (While not as devastating, The Dark Knight featured the same problem with Batman racking up a lot of money in damages and nobody seemed to care). Metropolis was annihilated on Friday, and everyone was back to work as nothing happened on Monday.
I'd definitely purchase this on Blu-Ray. And damn does Pacific Rim look bangin!!

Man of Steel
Where to start... Maybe with the fact that I walked out of the movie before it ended because I couldn't take it anymore? Maybe with Johnathan Kent being not Johnathan Kent at all, despite the great performance by Kevin Costner? Maybe with the fact that Superman wasn't at the movie at all?
Where the fuck was he when those two super powered maniacs, one of them wearing blue and a red cape, started to level Metropolis and KILL TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE? I tried to fucking lay down and think of England when it started, but there was just so much I could take. I walked out middle way of it.
What the freaking hell they were thinking?
I want to scream, I want to cry. I want to punch someone.
It might take me a week, it might take me ten years, but I'm gonna find the ones responsible for this... And kick that big red "S" of their all over the galaxy! Right after I'm done nuking their scripts and equipment into *guacamole*! And that's a promise!

Pacific Rim
To be honest, i'm pretty disappointed with the movie. The action scenes were great, but the story wasn't.
Also, there are a lot of stupid parts during the movie. Don't open this spoiler if you haven't watched the movie yet.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
1) Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon were worthless in the movie. They were just teared to pieces right when they entered their first and only battle scene.
2) Cherno Alpha's head is a fucking nuclear reactor. I really wanted to see it to do a headbutt on the kaijus and watch it explode like an atomic bomb, but no, it was just a teeny tiny explosion in the bottom of the sea because it was fucking shit and it was teared to pieces like bread.
3) Gipsy Danger was fighting this Kaiju in Hong Kong, right? At one part, Gipsy Danger's punch missed and pierced a hole into the building using its fist. Its fist stopped right when it was about to hit a Newton's Cradle, and so when it tapped the toy, it was activated like this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Newtons_cradle_animation_book_2.gif/200px-Newtons_cradle_animation_book_2.gif).

Killer Joe A black comedy crime film with Matthew McConaughey. Chris has a lot of debts he has to pay back. In order to pay them back, he has a plan : hiring a killer to murder his mom and get the life insurance money, which will go to his younger sister. But as the plan is set to motion, nothing goes as planned, and it's a beginning of a spiral to hell. Very good acting, a lot of tension during the movie, good story, pretty good dialogues. The ending was WTF though. Grade : 7.5/10
The Road A post apocalyptic drama film starring Viggo Mortensen. A man and his young son struggle to survive in a world where all civilisation has disappeared after an unknown "incident". No more plants, no more animals. World has gone to hell, and the few survivors are in search for food and weapons, going as far as canibalism to survive. Could be compared to The Walking Dead a little, but without the zombies. The movies focuses a lot on emotions. Overall, the concept is nice, but I think the movie is too damn slow.

Plus, the 60% talk thing is over-blown since there's only enough to keep things going, with no real filler material. Hell, even Hideo Kojima was enthralled with this movie. :3

Pacific Rim has a bad story? Odd, all the things I've heard said that the story was great, and had more thought put into than most blockbusters.
Maybe with Johnathan Kent being not Johnathan Kent at all, despite the great performance by Kevin Costner?
It didn't even bother me while I was watching, because Costner sold everything. But once it was over, you realize that Jonathan Kent's big influence on Clark is to give into fear. That's really fucked up. Ugh.
And then his death scene just looked absolutely ridiculous. And was so dumb. Oy.
all adaptations of HP Lovercraft have been absolutely worse than puke so far
Re-Animator? I mean, it's not super faithful, but it's amazing!

Pacific Rim: The 3D IMAX Experience this isn't going to be two lines, but fuck it I now know why I don't watch 3D movies anymore, got a huge headache from not only the 3D but the incredibly loud IMAX sound system. Really conflicted over the whole thing. I'm glad I supported the movie, but I'm not glad that I actually watched it. The movie feels way too long and at the same time way too short. The movie really drags for the first half, but in the midst of it all it feels like it's rapidly jumping from scene from scene with no breathing room. The movie feels like a miniseries script got hacked up in order to fit the movie and I feel like we're missing out on a big chunk of the movie that is just told in expository dialogue in the opening. All I know is that after watching this movie, I really really want Ron Perlman in an episode It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fuck it, everything - the man is an absolute treasure.
5/10
I probably have more stuff to talk about this movie but I'm far too tired to recall what crap I wanted to rant about. I still think everyone should go see it because if Rim flops, the future of mainstream American cinema is going to be dire.

The Lone Ranger:
meeeeeh, not impressed a bit: movie is full of great actors (particularly the support cast), some beautiful shots, some alright special effects & action scenes but it's boring, because of a boring story, the lack of interest toward the main protagonists (which i found dull)...it was basically Pirates Of The Caribbean without the magical touch!

Pacific Rim:
So I went to see it last night. Did I think it was as disappointing as people are saying it is? No. I was gonna go in with low expectations about the story to begin with, so those parts didn't phase me. I kinda wish the movie was shorter, then maybe the story and the scenes jumping from bit to bit without break wouldn't be a problem. Loved the characters however, Perlman's especially.
So why am I not disappointed? Well because I'm a shallow bastard. I paid to see Robots punching Monsters, I got that. The action was great, and to top it off, I was in a theater with people who were hyped for all of it, so there were some neat reactions to the action scenes. And hey, supporting the film made me feel good.

Personally, I loved it. It felt like I was watching a cheesy old anime made with a big summer blockbuster budget. All the check boxes get ticked off: The excitable scientists, the no-nonsense general, the plucky, blue-haired japanese girl. But to me it felt like that was kind of the point. No gritty realism, no long journey to overcome personal demons, no monologing about responsibility or duty or power or whatever. It's just "Hey, you're sad? What-the fuck-ever, we need you to punch that monster to death before it eats Hong Kong." Sometimes you just need to let a cartoon be a cartoon.
Also Charlie Day is freaking phenomenal.

Exactly. Money does not guarantee anything outside of happy-happy shiny-shiny visuals. Look at Clint Eastwood's classic westerns or even Django Unchained. Regardless of what people said about Django, Tarrantino NAILED the feel just right. At least in my opinion.

I wouldn't quite say that. It's not a case of "turn off your brain and enjoy the spectacle" like in some big action movies. With Pacific Rim, it's more like they kept things light and simple on purpose because there wasn't any need to make them overly-convoluted. Simple and shallow aren't necessarily the same thing.

I got this because it was nr.1 on a 'top 10 scariest movie' list, but I don't agree. This movie was good, but definitely not the scariest I've ever seen (props go the the original .Rec for me on that one...which wasn't even on that list, proving it was a BS list!). Also couldn't help but be annoyed by the main character. She does something early on in the movie which cemented my dislike towards her. I'm not gonna spoil exactly what it is but...WHEN A MAN IS DRIVING HIS CAR, KEEP YUR DAMN YAP SHUT! Anyway, it's still a good movie, most effective when seen at a girls sleep-over party I guess.

Pacific Rim! 8/10 - must watch in cinema.
Yeah it was completely awesome, the fights are simple breathtaking, the weight and appearance of both the Kaiju and the mecha are top notch. The story was OK to me, there's some iffy things near the end but nothing that takes away from the overall experience. The one thing that DID take away from the experience was Charlie Day's character; for the love of God who casted this asswhipe? His high-pitched tantrum yelling was absolutely cringe-worthy and very annoying. The asian girl did alright, but somehow that asian accent always just comes off as bad acting, it's just distracting. Ron Perlman brought his own charm with his appearance but he was in the movie way too short, no more then 5 minutes of screentime or something. So yeah fuck you Charlie Day, I'm deducting a whole point because of you! Would there ever be a sequel they better not bring him back.

I really liked Man of Steel. I think the only issue with it was that it felt slightly flat on the emotional side of things. The Dark Knight did an incredible job with the whole "conveying a struggle" thing, E.G. Bruce Wayne dealing with the trials and tribulations of doing the right things in the face of a maniac who is pushing the shit out of him (SEE: The goosebump-inducing Interrogation scene).
Man of Steel went the same route per se, but instead with Super Man/Kal-El dealing with holding back on his superpowers as he grew up amongst us humans. While executed decently, the theme didn't resonate as well, or as deep, as the Dark Knight did.
I'm still purchasing this when it is released on Blu-Ray. The film is already on it's way out of the theater :doom: and I'd love to see it again.

You are simply still in a state of denial ;) He did cause a lot of destruction but he's supposed to be an inexperienced fighter, this was his first fight (as Superman/out-of-his-shell justice maintainer) and is not aware of the full extend of his power. I'm sure he's sorry! But yeah at least Goku always took his enemies to deserted wastelands to fight them as to avoid this kind of destruction :ssj:
@Jmoprh Yeah that Charlie Day video you included didn't make my impression of him any better, it made it worse :P I guess I'm not worthy, as you said!
That maniac in blue with a red cape KILLED AT LEAST TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE in his so called "fight"! Being "sorry" won't cut it. I hope that in the next movie Superman actually shows up to teach that maniac a very painful lesson.

Still haven't seen Man of Steel, because we can't manage to set a date with my buddies... Guess I'll invite a pretty girl instead to go see it with me. ;P (and go see Pacific Rim with them instead).
12 Angry Men Black and white movie with Henry Fonda. I started downloading the Criterion movies recommended by Jango. Really enjoyed this one. Shows that even today, at a time where most movies are filled with million dollars special effects, I can still enjoy a movie with 12 men in a single room arguing for 1 hour and a half. A good story and nice dialogues is all that is needed. Grade : 8.5/10
Cowboys and Aliens Very disappointing. The base idea was very awesome, and Daniel Craig + Harisson Ford should have been a big win. But once you've passed the fact it's fucking cowboys fighting fucking aliens, you realize it's just a basic boring action movie with cowboys in the farwest instead of the US army in New-York. No "WOW WTF that's awesome" moment, no neat dialogue, nothing memorable. It's bearable, but just so much less than what it could (should) have been. Grade : 5.5/10

If I lived closer, I'd go along with you to go see Pacific Rim. It is fucking awesome. Enjoy man!!
I actually liked Cowboys and Aliens. Perhaps its because I saw it as Han Solo and James Bond with a Pip Boy beating/shooting the shit out of Aliens. It's not the greatest film ever, but at least it was fun and the concept was intersting. And Harrison Ford's acting skills are as good as that of an old, dried out cardboard box stuffed with hay. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10 and purchase it for cheap.

Glad you liked it!
It's one of the few movies in my opinion that manages to be timeless. Lots of older movies, even the best of them, tend to show their age in some way by the acting styles and filming techniques of the time it was made. However, to me, 12 Angry Men easily could've happened yesterday and was merely only shot in B/W.

Well, Barnes and Noble is doing their yearly massive sale on Criterion DVD/Blu-Ray sale, so I'll be picking a few more of those up later on. In the meantime, here's a review of one I picked up today.
Cronos
I was originally going to see Pacific Rim, but since I couldn't get anyone else to see it with me (believe it or not, I prefer to see movies as a social activity), I decided to pay SOME form of tribute to Guillermo Del Toro by picking up his first ever movie.
And it's really good! It's a vampire story at its heart, but more importantly, it's a story about familial love and what it means to live. I actually started tearing up on multiple occasions. The special effects for the apparatus as well as Jesus' deteriorating skin, as well as the fresh skin under that skin were fantastic, and even today I've yet to see any other good convincing effects.
Now for a shocker for all of you: This is the first Guillermo Del Toro movie I've seen, and based on what I saw, I'm impressed enough that I'm going to watch the rest of his films!
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Saikoro on July 28, 2013, 05:34:31 pm
First film of his, eh?? I highly recommend Pan's Labrynth and, of course, Pacific Rim. Hellboy was pretty sweet as well. I haven't seen Hellboy 2 though. I will also give Cronos a shot.
I really love Del Toro's style. He has a great sense of visual flare and a good sense of storytelling. And I'm all for solid stories.

Only God Forgives With Ryan Gosling, by the director of Drive. Very disappointing. Gratuitous violence everywhere, that's not justified at all and not even "fun" to watch. There are many scenes that are here for some sort of visual impact and story telling, but you just end up thinking "when is it going to finish?", because it's boring as hell. The story is pretty generic too, and Gosling still does the same face he does in all his movies, with ony 5 sentences in 1h30 of movie. And what the fuck was that ending. Grade : 5/10

I didn't saw the movie yet but I guess Refn got carried away after success of Drive.... His Valhalla Rising was very boring and confusing although I loved Mads Mikelsen performance. You should check out his danish "Pusher" Trilogy... It was first movies of him I watched (way before "Drive") and it's so awesome that I don't know where to begin. It was violent too but all of it was justified and fit into the movie. With "Drive" it wasn't exactly the case even though I like it very much...

I'm not saying that it's the best entry in the movie franchise, it has a fuckton of plot holes, but it is enjoyable as it is.

Godzilla 2000, a.k.a. GOJIRA NI-SEN MIRENIAMU I don't think I've ever watched this movie whilst sober (this was my 3rd or 4th viewing of it), so that kinda clouds my judgement. but well I dunno It's a japanese Godzilla movie, you get what you expect: A guy in a rubber suit wreaking havoc in a miniature city. And for all that's worth, that's done pretty good, if that's your cup of tea. But Godzilla's antagonist in this movie is so weird. It's a .... huge sentient rock. YEAH, A BIG ROCK! Then when it later reveals his alien spaceship form, it doesn't get much better, because the CGI is completely horrible (who's idea was it to make the ship completely clean white/silver, without any realy detail or texture? Ofcourse that's not going to blend at all!). We do get a pretty good monster battle at the very end, but it's very short. Uhm overall 5/10 I guess but only if you dig rubber-suit monster movies, otherwise it'll definitely be a 3/10 or something. YEAH!

You make it sound like the spaceship WAS a rock when that wasn't the case. Also the CGI Is late 1990's and from Japan where they aren't as big on it. Lastly this movie was pretty much rushed to get the bad taste of the US Godzilla movie out of peoples mouths which also further explains it's shortcomings.
also who cares what color/texture it is it's a spaceship that looks like a bike seat so it rules

Oh my god. Yes. Easily the best time I've had in a movie theater since The Avengers. No, wait, I saw Cabin in the Woods after that. So yeah, Cabin in the Woods. It's just so, so much fun. It effortlessly tosses off concepts that would fuel whole movies (drifting, the bone slums, the adventures of Doctor Charlie Day, GIANT ROBOTS FIGHTING GIANT MONSTERS), mashing them into an amazing turducken of joy. The action is fantastic, leagues better than most other movies these days (I love that I'm actually able to follow what's happening!) The cast ranges from serviceable (Charlie Hunnam, hot Australian guy) to AMAZING (Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, IDRIS FUCKING ELBA). Seriously, Charlie Day is great in this movie, Balthazar you are nuts and I am going to delete your account if you don't recant. My only regret was that I wasn't able to see it sooner.
Now for a shocker for all of you: This is the first Guillermo Del Toro movie I've seen, and based on what I saw, I'm impressed enough that I'm going to watch the rest of his films!
Well... just remember that Mimic's existence was single-handedly justified by the references to it in John Hodgman's The Areas Of My Expertise, most importantly it being the impetus behind the delightful "getting either very high or very autistic" runner.

Well the Criterion Sale at B&N is ending on Monday, so I snagged two more movies. And since I missed seeing Pacific Rim AGAIN, I bought another Guillermo Del Toro movie from their collection.
The Devil's Backbone
It's a ghost story set during the Spanish Civil War. A boy named Carlos is sent to an orphanage when his father dies in the war (he doesn't know this happened, though), and he begins to see an apparition in the shape of a young boy.
I can't really go further than that without spoiling the story, but despite its supernatural element, you find that people are a lot more horrifying than the ghost. Again, there are the themes of innocence in a cruel, twisted world. I highly recommend this movie, because outside of the scares, there's a message about humanity embedded within it.

So I went on a movie-watching binge over the weekend on Netflix and saw that the Canadian Netflix library had the Robocop trilogy and I said, "eh, why not?" I've watched the first Robocop a million times, only vaguely remembered bits and pieces of 2, but never seen 3 so I figured it would be worthwhile.
Robocop 3 I only made about half an hour in before I had to stop watching. For those first 30 minutes, I was wondering what felt so wrong about the movie and after I tapped out and quit, I found out. PG-13.

The Act of Killing oh jeus oh jesus oh jesus
description of the movie said:
In the fall of 1965, following a failed coup d’état, the Indonesian military began a campaign of killings ostensibly targeted at the country’s Communist Party. Over the next few months, at least half a million people were killed by death squads. Unlike other modern genocides, the Indonesian killings were committed mostly one by one; individuals were strangled or beheaded, had their throats cut, or were simply beaten to death.
The killings resulted in a military takeover of the government that would last for the next 30 years and still plays a major role in Indonesian politics. The perpetrators of the killings have never been charged with any crimes; some of them are now minor celebrities, appearing on talk shows and at rallies to boast about their involvement in the genocide.
This is the starting point of Joshua Oppenheimer’s stomach churner, The Act Of Killing. More a moral work than a political one, the documentary uses one death-squad leader—the dapper ex-gangster Anwar Congo, who personally killed a thousand people, most of them strangled with piano wire—to explore an even bigger subject: evil.
Oppenheimer makes Congo a simple offer: He will direct a movie about the actions of Congo and his friends during the mid-’60s, casting them in lead roles and giving them final say on everything. Always eager to talk about the killings, Congo accepts. A crew is hired, sets are built, extras are marshaled, and gory makeup is applied.
Those last 10 minutes... it's really hard to watch. I will never be able to hear "Born Free" again in the same way.

This film just screams awesome. The writing is sharp, the dialogue between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is hilarious, the story is decent and the action is fantastic. This is when Michael Bay was actually good. There is never a dull moment here, and that is what makes Bad Boys shine. I got it yesterday for 10.00 at Best Buy and immediately watched it. I'm proud to have it in my collection.
Stick with part 1. RoboCop 2 was merely OK, but I thought it was awesome. And I'm very curious to see how the new one stacks up. While I know it won't, being such a huge fan of the first (It's my #1 all time favorite film), I will watch the reboot out of curiousity.

I don't think the sequel can be compared with the first movie, i like both equally, the acting is good, the plot is good, but after reading some reviews on websites i guess that the people who read the comics won't love the movie due to some changes. (I never touched a comic in the last 20 years).

well, the first one wasn't exactly for all audiences either :-/ (the appartment scene comes to mind)
checked some reviews and the reception doesn't seem positive overall, also for the fact that "The Butler" was released on the same week end (and is apparently kicking ass, no pun intended): when i meant "compared to the first one", i meant the script, the humor, the pace, the directing,etc

^^ puh! It has been around 2 years since i saw the first one and don't remember everything from it but thought that the sequel is more "over the top" and adds more brutal scenes, the humor is great (for my taste)
The reactions by other people who were in the cinema last week were very positive, maybe read what commenters who saw the movie have to say about it too..paid reviewers see and rate movies in a different light than we "normal movie watchers"

Right, most movie reviewers put more thought into whether a movie is actually good or not, whether it was shot well, whether the acting was good, whether the script was good, things like that. Better to listen to them then the average Joe. The goods critics, I mean.
The first Kick Ass movie was a better satire of superheroes than the actual comic it's based off of.
Haven't seen the second one (yet).
I read the Kick Ass 2 comic book a couple of days ago. I think the movie is better too. The comic has too much unnecessary violence IMO. The movie tones it down a bit.

On the Waterfront (1.66:1 Aspect Ratio)
Marlon Brando at his finest. The acting feels pretty realistic, and the camerawork is incredible. But outside of technicalities, we have a neat mobster story about morality versus loyalty, and enough religious imagery to make this guy (http://mugenguild.com/forum/profile/iced-7976) burst into treats. Definitely a must-see.
BTW I mention the aspect ratio because there is some controversy as to the correct one. The others are 1.85:1 and your standard 4:3 ratios. They're all the same except for what's shown in the picture, so people that want more atmosphere prefer 4:3 while people that want tense scenes do 1.85:1. I just went by the Paramount standard at the film's release.

The World's End
Oh god my sides. This movie had a little bit of everything. So many moments had me in tears, both from laughter and from sentimental moments. And of course the action is great. Definitely a must-see.

I will say the ending of the movie really caught me off-guard, though. It was actually a bit more of a downer than the others, but I feel that it ended the trilogy quite nicely. The inclusion of the Cornetto in it was really... unique, but still had me laughing. I did not expect "Mint Green Chocolate Chip" to refer to what it ends up referring to.

After three hours of bashing my head against the wall trying to get a shitty wireless router to work (don't ever EVER buy Belkin's anythings) I needed to get some amusement out of my day. Good thing I saw
The World's End Good movie that doesn't quite stand up to my memory of the other two films in the Triple Croissant series or whatever film nerds like Boba Fett's father from One Piece call it. Although now I'm curious to see if Shaun of the Dead had Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Sean Connery, or anyone from the cast of Casino Royale (1967) in it.

During my Portrait Making stints, I simply leave on HBO or a Blu-Ray. So this time, I was kept company by Crazy. Stupid. Love.
I found it funny at times, but the plot, while simple, was a little too inconsistent for me. The best scenes are when Ryan Gosseling is helping Steve Carrell become more stylish 1/3rd in. Hilarity. And the Dirty Dancing reference is funny too.
Otherwise, pass.

Some Retro 80's action:
Ferris Bueler's Day Off and Back to the Future.
Timeless classics that should not be missed. Not only are they great films to begin with, what I love most about these two are the level of heart and charm they both carry, along with the endless amounts of quotable one-liners you could throw into any conversation.
"Bueler.... Bueler... anyone??"
"This is heavy..."
"Darth Vader came down from the planet Vulcan and said if I didn't ask Lorraine to the dance, that he'd melt my brain."
I could watch these two over and over and never grow tired of them.

Decided to watch the Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter movies after the TV series got my interest in the films back up.
The Silence of the Lambs: 9/10 Great movie, one of my favorite aspects that worked really well was simply the atmosphere.
Hannibal: 6.5/10 All around weak villain who felt like a Hannibal wannabe and oddly enough, I felt like Hannibal's presence in the movie was a bit too strong.
"Hey [whatever the butler's name was], why don't you just push him in. You can always say I did it." was great though.
Red Dragon: 8/10 Much better than Hannibal, but the atmosphere wasn't as good as it was in Silence.

Star Trek into Darkness If you turn your brain off it's a fun dumb action movie, but the moment you give this movie any thought it sort of falls apart. I was wondering after I watched the film why the film's denouement didn't leave me satisfied and I came to the conclusion that the problem with the film is that whoever wrote the script just jammed a bunch of "Trekky" stuff into it. There's Klingons, Tribbles and other stuff but they largely are unimportant in the grand scheme of the movie, but the "Trek stuff" consists of so much of the movie that it cheapens the movie as a whole.

Just watched The Hobbit.
I must say, it was really good. Screw what the critics say. I did a little googling research and found out that there's another 2 movies planned. So I guess those deal with actually taking down the dragon, and explaining what's up with that necromancer. I'm hoping the other 2 great wizards show too.
Either way, I suggest you check it out if you haven't yet.

Post by: Jango Hakamichi on September 01, 2013, 02:00:45 am
The problem is The Hobbit is supposed to be a short, light-hearted adventure that, if taken exactly at the book's writing, warrants no more than one movie tops. It's blatantly obvious that it was padded with stuff from a side-book released after LOTR so that they could stretch the movie out for as long as they could.
I saw the trailer for the next one, and the barrel riding scene that can be summed up in like two pages in the book turned into a battle? Are you shitting me?

Well if that wasn't a delightful hard R violence-fest 90's throwback, I don't know what is. I'm a bit upset the mutants/Anderson's psychic powers thing didn't pay off. It was all established pretty hard, but the muties thing goes nowhere and the psychic powers are basically the power of plot convenience. The mindfuck scene was neat though.

Matrix Revolutions.
Not a bad movie. It is a terrible, unwatchable wreck thing that should have never been made in the first place. My poor eyes, my poor brain. Avoid this like the plague.
Clash of the Titans (2010): TNT was promising me Clash of the Titans after that train wreck, so I stomached it and waited... Then it told me it was the 2010 version and not the 1981 version... I can dig Liam Neeson as Zeus, but that movie was weak compared to the classic. Give me the Ray Harryhausen stop motion over those CGs any day, pretty pretty please with sugar on top.

Not to mention, the story was better. In the remake there's a nod to the original when Perseus is offered the mechanical owl, and he tosses it, taking a dump (figuratively) on the original's campiness...
... and the stupid macho badassery in the remake nowhere nearly surpasses the coolness of the campy original. Nowhere. Nearly.

So while on the bus ride from my apartment to my sister's house and back today, I sat through all four Phantasm movies. Mainly because I like some of the stuff the director did (Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at The End) and also I haven't really touched any of them since I was a kid, so I wanted a bit of a fresh start.
Phantasm Goddamn, I heard this one was good but I wasn't expecting it to be genuinely so. The originality and surrealism of it all is what I loved the most.
Phantasm II A decent if dated sequel. But it's obvious watching it that the guy behind these films was getting interference by executives when he made this.
Phantasm III Pretty hit or miss. Mainly due to the goofier humor they tried to inject in it.
Phantasm IV: Oblivion This one is basically a "wrap up" movie since it recaps stuff as well as answering some plot questions (though I gotta give them credit for using deleted scenes as stock footage). It's also pretty obvious they weren't working with much on this one, but in the end it does it's job. Hopefully they'll get to work on that fifth movie someday so that the ending of this one isn't so damn ambiguous.
Also the ending song for IV is pretty damn catchy. I gotta see if it's on Itunes or something.

The Collection
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Very distasteful "Horror/Thriller" movie it had no class and it could have been a gross out movie but in the first 10-20 min people get butchered. You are completely desensitized by it the writing is so okay but then they throw in zombie like things basically people who have been tortured to the point of being primitive which has no logic to it and they just kill these people as if they were zombies with no questions asked, and as if it couldn't get any more confusing is why do they hide the killers face throughout the movie yet it's obvious he's no one they know though the movie is horrid I do like one of the characters they portrayed; a young female who had become insane by the torture of being trapped in a box and has romantic interest in the psychopath. She had betrayed the main protagonist saying "Your not the one!, Your not supposed to save me!!! Get away!!!!". This ultimately attracts the killer and as he grabs her (protagonist) she says "He likes me you know" she pops up again after the protagonist is rescued by a group of mercenaries sent by her dad but guess who the pick up? The crazy bitch what makes this so confusing without any sense the protagonist only mentions the fact that she almost got her killed for a couple seconds mentioning not to trust her then this moment is forgotten and guess what? The crazy bitch strikes again I've rambled too much overall this was a bad movie....... 3/10

That particular scene that started in the casino with Nolte and Hardy and ended in the hotel room grabs you by the balls. That was a very powerful scene with great acting that was very humbling. This one also caught me by surprise as well. I instantly purchased it after my initial viewing which was through redbox.

I've seen this one so many times I've lost count. I also watch RoboCop frequently. This film is amazingly well done writing wise, acting wise and directorial wise. And the story is so well layered it's insane!! In the end, it's also a good action flick that has stood the test of time incredibly well (ED 209's stop motion effects still hold up and put plenty of CG efforts to shame).

I think I've seen RoboCop over 350 times throughout my lfetime; I was introduced to it on laserdisc when I was 5. Yes, I'm part of that generation where we grew up with R-Rated cinema and loved every single one of them. My Mother was cool with it and explained it's only film.
But with RoboCop, there's so much going on within it's simplicity it's ridiculous. One of my most favorite subtleties is when Kenny is blown away by ED 209: Dick Jones walks up to the old man and the old man says he is disappointed. Not in the fact that someone dies right in front of them, but at the fact that OCP will lose money. It's satirical subtleties like this that make RoboCop brilliant. If you're familiar with this film as I am, you could easily list about 100 things Robo touches upon. And it's frighteningly realistic.
I love movies like that. Another favorite of mine is V for Vendetta for the same reasons.

Also I have the feeling I'll probably take back everything bad I said about Robocop 2 when the remake comes out.
You know, RoboCop 2 wasn't that bad. I'm most likely slanting my opinion because I'm such a huge fan of the first, but still. RoboCop 2 isn't as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. The action is decent, the premise is cool, and overall, it isn't terrible. I think what happened is that the first one was so good, it was hard to fill those shoes. And the first one was also a satire that had a serious tone, so I could see why the somewhat whimsical tone of the second one put a lot of people off. Overall, part 2 was good. Just not great, or anywhere as good as the original.
I'd most likely give RoboCop 2 a 7.5 out of 10. Part one gets a 9.5 in my opinion.
I haven't seen that in a while. Them leaping all over the place began to piss me off after a while. I understand that the film is based a lot off of mythology... but c'mon!! It got a little crazy towards the end!!

From the info that was recently revealed (http://1701news.com/node/427/find-out-how-khan-almost-wasnt-khan.html), if they actually stuck to their plan, choosing to develop the movie without Khan, trying to tell new stories with the rebooted cast and do fresh things and not just do a shitty cover version of a 30 year old movie that is far and away superior, it'd be a much better movie. So they came up with a new story, but then decided "hey let's just jam Khan in after all, even though it makes no sense whatsoever".
Or maybe that hypothetical movie would've been crap too. These writers don't really seem to understand Star Trek at all. Roberto Orci's quote of "You can't do Batman without The Joker", the Joker referring to Khan, really explains it all. Khan is not the Joker. He appeared twice. He's in no way, shape, or form Kirk's Joker, c'mon.
oh and hey the movie was also sorta a crypto-9/11 truther movie (http://badassdigest.com/2013/09/11/how-star-trek-into-darkness-is-a-crypto-truther-conspiracy-movie/)

dbz battle of the gods
i loved it, because they didnt make it a "goku struggles for a minute and hulks out then turns god mode (pardon me) and defeats the villain of the week" and while it did follow the formula of most dbz ovas for a minute (aka celebration or mundane something is interrupted by villain) it didnt follow thru on that which surprised me greatly for some reason
(not sure if spoilers or not, but i personally and willfully didnt read anything about it until i actually saw it so spoilers maybe) putting it into perspective, bills is a god of destruction so it is his duty or job to destroy things in order to renew them so he wasnt just another villain of the week, he was actually someone who was legitimately strong who could do exactly what he promised without a shadow of a doubt. but he was also arrogant and childish etc so he could be considered a bad guy in that regard
idk it just flowed organically and what really surprised me was the fact that bills isnt even the strongest person in the movie, its his caretaker/trainer whis AND the fact that there are more gods and universes out there means this isnt over by a long shot, i mean, shit
i personally am glad theyre expanding on the lore and im excited to see more

It's funny you mention that... I was trying to figure out why I didn't like Into Darkness as much as the awesome reboot (I loved that one). And wow... you guys pointed me in the right direction. Fantastic article too (about those theories and whatnot).
Tango and Cash
I snagged this one for 7.50 at Best Buy. This screams awesome 80's action-buddy flick everywhere. For those who don't know, Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone are two of LA's finest, and popular, cops who get framed for something they didn't commit. They put their rivalries aside and kick a lot of ass, shoot a lot of people, and cause a lot of explosions with weapons and vehicles for about two hours. The film has that "Streets of Rage/Fatal Fury feel" to it. E.G. the duo takes out all of the smaller cronies throughout a lot of varied environments (Prison, Building, Neighborhood) and then face off against the final boss in a huge building's office. Totally awesome and a lot of fun.
Children of Men
I purchased this one with Tango and Cash, also for 7.50!! This one is hard to watch due to it's realistic take on the way the world is these days/social commentary, and possibly where it's heading. Instead of describing it entirely, let me just say that the cinematography and directorial style is second to none and the story of smuggling the first pregnant woman in years, and in the entire world, out of England is fascinating. I remember walking out of the theatre the same way I did with Saving Private Ryan: I was speechless and the film got under my skin. Don't miss this one.

Insidious 2
I actually went to a showing which showed the first movie then flowed straight into the second :lmao
Anyway, I liked it, it developed the elements of the first movie and explored them more. It didn't take itself that seriously, which was funny, there were scenes in the first that were supposed to be scary, but weren't. Only complaint being that it wasn't as subtle as the first movie.
As for the fear factor everyone hypes up, nah, it wasn't that scary.

Rewatched Django unchained with some friends at my home. Still a 9.5/10. 8)
The Grandmasters Gave this one a 2nd chance, since I redownloaded it with better quality and better translation. Very artistic and stylish chinese martial arts movie. Nice choregraphies, pretty cool story (once again about Ip Man). Unfortunetely, I didn't like the story telling, and the way the story is told was boring to me. Music is nice, actors are very good, but there aren't enough fight scenes (or they're too short), and the pace is too slow IMO. Grade : 6.5/10

Denzel Washington & Spike Lee at their finest: remember loving this movie back then and it is still solid: basically centered around a young promising Basketball player who's father (Washington, jailed for some time) needs to get him to accept a deal in order to see his sentence considerably cut... very strong performances all around. + there is dat awesome Rosario dawson :wub:
8.5/10
I have to watch that movie again. I saw it on cinema, but I guess that was a while back ;D But I have that movie as pretty good in my memorys. Ok might be because I love Basketball, cause I've got Game too :smartass2:

Good times for sure. I grew up idolizing Schwarzenegger and Stallone. I could also watch any awesome 80's flick repeatedly. Along with some of good 90's flicks too. ;D

Airplane! (1980) I remember seeing this movie as a kid and I laughed a lot. Now I saw it a week ago and I laughed even more than the first time, probably because I understood all the jokes (especially the sexual ones) as a grownup.

As far as Airplane!! goes, the Blu-Ray (http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Airplane-Blu-ray/61732/) is loaded with plenty of new extra features. This is one of my top favorite comedies of all time. Something about all of the sharp dialogue and witty, intelligent writing is very nostalgic. They don't make films like these anymore. Leslie Neilson left behind an amazing legacy with this and The Naked Gun. Today, we get shit aspiring to be like Airplane!! yet we get awful vomit inducing shit like Disaster Movie and Scary Movie.
With Airplane!! on my mind, I cannot help but think of The Blues Brothers, Coming to America, Ferris Beuler's Day Off, Weird Science, and Ghostbusters.

American Pyscho
This is the first film I've watched in a long time that I've really enjoyed, as the satire & criticism of social culture really appealed to me. The presentation through Bale's acting and the frequent black comedy was well done and really fun to watch.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I also really liked the ambiguity of Bateman's "actions" over the course of the film, adds some always fun viewer interpretation and another theme in the indictment of social pressures which can lead to the need to escape into fantasy, which I actually found rather relatable.
Thinking about picking up the book ASAP.

Great flick. Bale does an incredible job at acting like a closet psycho that spirals out of control. One of my favorites.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I also love how the film eludes to the last third of the film being either reality of the figment of his imagination. I still can't make that call after all of these years/views.
Blu-Ray Bargain Bin time!! These were purchased for 8.00 a piece!!
The Hurt Locker
Fantastic Film. I'm not too much for war films, but this one does it for me. This film isn't all about disarming bombs, but rather how you grow psychologically accustomed to the craziness around you. And then long for it when you're taken away from it all. Fantastic film. Check it out.
Shawshank Redemption
I forgot how fantastic this film is. The story is well written and the acting is really good too. The film also gives nods to the ideals of being instutionalized and how it affects certain people. This is also one of those rare films that is actually better than the source material it's based off of.
Predators
I call this the ultimate homage to the first film. While not the best well written piece of cinema (It has it's fair share of cheese) Robert Rodriguez made a fan pleasing action film that is simply a lot of fun. And being such a huge fan, I caught on to a majority of the homages right off of the bat. Check this one out if you're a huge Predator fan if you haven't already.
Pulp Fiction
Easily one of Tarrantino's best works, hands down. Everything from the writing, dialogue, story, characters.... everything is awesome and worth multiple views. And this one is one of those films that you could constantly quote or have awesome nerd discussions over.
Man do I love cheap prices on new Blu-Rays!!

Watched a favorite of mine that I haven't seen in a while.
Big Trouble in Little China
I almost forgot how good this movie is. It's like a perfect mix of cornball, action, martial arts, and (some minor) horror. Lo Pan is still one of my favorite movie villains of all time, and Kurt Russel does an awesome job of portraying a sidekick that thinks he's the leading man. It also gets major points for me because
A) I actually did research and the movie gets A LOT of the mythology spot on. B) It's so refreshing to see a predominately Asian cast (I use "Asian" because they're not all Chinese), especially in leading roles.
So this is possibly the best movie ever???

You know, I only remember seeing this once or twice as a kid, and that was about 15+ years ago. If I see this on Blu-Ray, it's an instant purchase and I'll post my thoughts here as soon as I finish watching it. Throughout all of these years, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Kurt Russell is also attached to a lot of awesome stuff. Hell, I loved his character in Captain Ron and Tango and Cash. Which is pretty much the same character!!

Movie marathon with friends.
American Pie My favorite of the bunch. The movie aged rather well actually. This movie will forever have a special place in my dick heart. 10/10
American Pie 2 One of the cheesier AP movies. This movie was great, sure, but it was pretty dull in my opinion. 7/10
American Pie 3: The Wedding I don't know why, but the AP movies' plot got dumber and dumber. Some of the jokes were beyond fucked up, even for me. Still, it was a pretty funny movie. 6.5/10
American Pie 4: Band Camp This movie got toned down too much in my opinion, sex jokes wise. Also, I really dislike the gangster Asian dude. He's just not funny. He's fuckin' irritating. Still, good plot though. 7/10
American Pie 5: The Naked Mile This movie went back to its roots. It actually feels like an AP movie. This is my 2nd favorite AP movie. 8.5/10
American Pie 6: Beta House This, by far, is the craziest AP movie in my opinion. Crazy, but good.
But who the fuck would fuck a goat? That's just nasty. 8.5/10
American Pie 7: The Book of Love Imagine if the first AP movie was made in 2010 or so, this is what you'll get. Pretty modernized, and pretty toned down. 8/10
Next up, American Reunion. ;D

David Lynch's Dune.
Gurney casting is spot on. I couldn't call for a better Gurney. But... but the rest of the movie fails to deliver so hard it hurts. So many powerful scenes in the book were downplayed, dumbed down to fit mere seconds of screen time. Poor Thurfir got the short stick here as well. He had such importance in the book... but here... ugh. :'(
It is such a pity. It had the potential to be a great trilogy of movies. :'( But they tried to squeeze this wonderful book in a single movie.

and to think Alejandro Jodorowsky was attached to direct at one point, with help from Orson Welles (!) & Salvador Dali (!!), for a 10 hour long movie LOL
love Jodorowsky's humbling crazyness: i'm sure it would have been better than Lynch's version too

That doesn't mean he didn't have to do anything with it though, he was on set pretty much all the time ::)
But it's misleading on the part of the marketers and it unfairly trivializes the actual director's hard work. ::)

Prisoners
Hugh Jackman's character and friend's respective daughters are suspectively kidnapped by a supposedly mentally disabled young man. Hugh Jackman's character takes it upon himself to physically torture this man for their whereabouts as he's found innocent, while one detective Loki searches for the daughters and tries to keep an eye on Jackman's character.
Really quite an entertaining thriller.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The scene near the end where Loki is rushing Hugh's character's lethally drugged daughter to the hospital while with a severe head wound....it felt oddly prolonged. Maybe it's just me, but they didn't need so much time spent on him weaving back and forth on a highway.
The very last few seconds where Loki hears the ever-so faint whistle blowing was a really nice touch, though.
8/10

HOLY SHIT. Holy shit. Holy shit!
This movie has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes for a reason. It's fantastic, and I can't think of another movie that gripped me so, everything was just so visceral that I still feel kind of shell-shocked, hours after coming out of the theater.
You need to see this. On a big screen. Immediately.

Machete Kills
I laughed. A lot. Clearly not as good as the first one, Rodriguez went a little too far here with the sci-fi stuff, but better get used to it if "Machete Kills Again" is really gonna come out. The helicopter kills were great, and the cast is good. However, I think there are so many actors there isn't enough focus on many of them in the end. Too bad. Story is a little dragged on too. The numerous gags may not save the movie for some people. Anyway, if you liked the first one, go see this one, it's an order. Grade : 7/10
And yeah, I definitely have to go see Gravity when it comes out in France (23rd of October for us). :)

So during the last Criterion flash sale, I was debating on which movie I should get because I either owned all the ones I wanted or they were on the "coming soon" list and didn't qualify for pre-order. Thus, I did what I always do when I have cash to burn, and I asked a random dude on the internet. UselessLurker answered the call, and (with a disclaimer that he is biased to anything that Wes Anderson is involved in) recommended:
The Darjeeling Limited
It's a very low-key comedy/drama (dramedy?). Three estranged brothers meet up in India to go on a spiritual journey a year after the death of their father. Naturally, they battle all of their own personal demons and have to make amends with each other and their lives. I was not expecting Owen Wilson to pull off his character as he did, and I now have a new-found respect for the man. I also love the way the cinematography plays out, especially when combined with the symbolism of many of the items that are brought up. Definitely timeless.
I wouldn't say that this movie is for everyone, though. I felt some of the flashbacks and imagery was misplaced at times (especially when you're not expecting it), and nothing really incredible happens (save for one scene which I won't give away), but if you're looking for an introspective on life and want something that's genuinely moving, you should give it a shot.

Spoiler: DON'T OPEN THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ALL OF THE MOVIES. *MAJOR SPOILER ALERT ABOUT THE PLOT*(click to see content)
I decided to watch all 5 movies in order. (5 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4)
The Final Destination movies are about a person(s) experiencing a vision/premonition of a tragic event that'll take place. There will be 6-7 survivors (IIRC) from that tragic event, but they'll be killed by freak accidents one-by-one due to "Death's design" at a future date.
Starting point freak accident: Final Destination 1 = Volee Flight 180 (Clear Rivers survives.) Final Destination 2 = Highway Pileup (Clear Rivers dies.) Final Destination 3 = Roller Coaster Final Destination 4 = Racetrack <- FD4/The Final Destination Final Destination 5 = Bridge (Final Destination 5's ending marks the beginning of the first Final Destination. The main protagonist of 5 dies at Volee Flight 180. BEST PLOT TWIST EVER!!)
Final Destination - 9.5/10 The effects on this movie looked great (Except the part where Devon Sawa gets attacked by the amber. That part looked horrible.) plus it kinda gives a nostalgic feel.
Spoiler: Not really important.(click to see content)
Also, it kinda felt weird seeing Stifler act like a pussy in this movie. Just saying. ::)
Final Destination 2 - 7/10 This movie had one of the worst acting and ending IMO. It felt dull and uninspired compared to the other movies. Sure, it had a great a great opening sequence and the part about Clear Rivers, but the rest of the movie sucked.
Final Destination 3 - 9/10 The first two FD movies had a really big freak accident opening, even though the freak accident in this movie got "downsized", it was still pretty epic. The only thing that made me a little disappointed was the fact that the coroner from the last two movies wasn't in this one, but if you think about it, it would've been stupid to see him in another city.
Final Destination 4 / The Final Destination - 10/10 My favorite FD movie. Every part of the movie was intense. The opening scene was amazingly done. The effects were phenomenal. Oh, and have you heard the Opening Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV6H7n-jMuc)? That shit's sex to the ears.
Final Destination 5 - 8/10 The effects in this movie wasn't really that great compared to FD4. It had my favorite death scene though, the one with the Buddha statue. They also brought in a new concept regarding death's design, the "Kill or be killed" thing. The best part was the ending, trust me. You might not get it though if you haven't watched the first movie.

Practical effects = handwork by multiple people put in, has an creative process behind it, looks good, it's on-location with the actors, it's real. CGI effects = whatever, I don't care, looks fake, doesn't have an impact on me whatsoever. Made by some douche on a pc by turning some dials.
I know that sounds kind of short-sighted, and I do enjoy me some good CGI like in Transformers, but most of it just annoys me, to be blunt :P I'm sure that's about what most people will tell you.

Look at the recent Evil Dead remake. That's pretty much all practical stuff and I love it.
And yeah, the kills of FD4 were meh. For something that was supposed to cap off the series it was kinda disappointing (still had fun with the 3D back when it was in theaters though, and the Redneck's death is hilarious).

Rewatched The Dark Knight Rises
Oh man, this movie gets worse every time you watch it, is a mess of a plot, ridiculous for the most part,. The only thing I liked about it is Bane (except his last scene, off course, where he is off character) I even liked his voice, he stands out of this mess, just like the Joker did on the previous film, going back to voices, the voice I can't stand is Bale's Batman.
It is the second time I watch this movie and I think it will be the last one, it is by far the worst of the trilogy, Begins being the best one.

Whaaa!? Really?? You see, I find it the other way around. I see that film as a layered experience; you notice more and more subtleties each time you watch it. I've been popping that one on regularly lately, like daily since it keeps me company when I'm doing my Mugen work, through my on demand service (I'm picking up the Blu-Ray soon) and I've come to like it a lot. I do see the plot holes and such, but you gotta admit... Nolan knows how to craft a well rounded film. But that's just me.
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Bea on October 14, 2013, 09:16:30 pm
Bane was easily the best part of Rises. He was physically imposing, ruthless, methodical. Even if he is nothing like comics Bane, he was still a great villain. A complete opposite of the loose dog that Joker was.
About the movie itself, I too think it was the weakest of the lot. Begins offered a much better and well rounded experience than the other two, and Lucius Fox and Alfred sell TDK for me. They were just great there.

Terminator 3 was fucking terrible. They spent their whole budget on 20 seconds worth of awesome looking endoskeleton armies and incredibly realistic T-850 effects. That lasted only for the final scene/30 seconds.

No you're not, Salvation was anywhere from OK to GREAT, depending on who you ask.
I mean, it wasn't X3 where they just RUIN EVERYTHING, or SPIDERMAN 3 where they absolutely ruin one beloved villain and they bite more than they can chew.
It was more like T3 (IMO) because it was a misguided attempt to close the plot, with a fairly mediocre movie, overall.

Sarah Conner Chronicles is way better than both Salvation and 3, because those movies are awful, and that show was amazing, and it shouldn't have been canceled. >:[ Also, TDK was the best of that trilogy. The third act of Begins is pretty awful and doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the movie, and the action shots are by far the worst shot in the trilogy. TDKR has plot holes so big you can drive a truck through them, and Batman abandons Gotham because he's sad, and Alfred acts like a tosser whose most fond wish is to never see his son again, and y'know I always thought those thinkpieces about how TDK was endorsing wiretapping and extreme rendition and the like were always silly but when taken with the dumb co-opting of the Occupy movement in TDKR it seems maybe not as crazy.

Yeah. As I'm watching it, I'm like Alfred, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP YOUR BITCHING!! But the whole point of Rises was being a symbol, not just a guy in a suit fighting crime. That's what Alfred was rambling about the whole time. And the whole point of the prison was to strengthen Wayne/Batman into who he really was, not just wearing the suit. Both fight scenes with Bane are opposite paradigms of themselves. The sewer fight where Bane kicks his ass showed you Batman/Wayne was simply "wearing the suit." The later City Fight shows a man who is mentally tougher, taking the punches in stride while standing up to a maniac instead of falling victim to him. While Rises is indeed the weakest of the three, what it symbolizes is awesome: The power of belief. Yeah, it has it's gaping plot holes that you groan over, but a lot of films are like that.
Yeah, I've been watching it a little too much lately. :mmhmm:
I also love Bane's voice, even if you can laugh at it and say it sounds like a robotic Sean Connery. Or robotic Patrick Steward/Jean Luc Picard.
No you're not, Salvation was anywhere from OK to GREAT, depending on who you ask.
I thought it was great. Mc G did a great job handling someone elses franchise. I personally loved all of the nods to Terminator 1 and 2; 3 does not exist in my mind, although there were a few cool nods to the positive parts about 3, like that T-600 that emerges from the sewers in the opening. I also loved the entire giant terminator with the segway into the motorbike chase scene. That was fucking cool.

Speaking of live action robot movies
Gunhed Basically a squad of mercenaries whose names all start with the letter 'B' decide to go down to an island where there's a "shut down" supercomputer (that went nuts as they all do, only to be stopped by a squadron of the titular robot) to ransack some computer chips. Most of them die immediately. The one survivor teams up with a stranded futuristic Texas Ranger looking for a vial that was stolen by an android (named after Texas) and some kids that lead him to the last remaining Gunhed. It's rebuilt and given fuel (whiskey!) and it goes off to fight the computer's main defense, which is what happens when you mix a tank with an arcade claw game.
It's a pretty stretched out and boring movie unfortunately. And the plot is as nonsensical as it gets. But hey the effects and soundtrack are neat.

I only dislike the fact Haneke isn't that known outside Europe and on order to reach US audience he had to make that remake. I recently watched his newtest "Love" too and that left me emotionally exhausted and empty...

So the Hawaii International Film Festival (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_International_Film_Festival) is in full swing, and while I missed a movie by Wong Kar Wai, the Kenshin movie, and whatever Hayao Miyazaki's last movie ever is, I snagged some tickets to a handful of other movies making their debut. Expect a giant post about 'em on Sunday, but for now, here's the one movie I saw today.
Double Xposure (Chinese, Mandarin)
The movie starts off with a successful plastic surgery specialist Song Qi, who is in a relationship with one of the surgeons, Liu Dong. Eventually, she finds that her boyfriend is cheating on her wih her best friend Xiao Xi, and the latter is murdered on the spot by strangulation. Things get more tense as her boyfriend gets antsy suspecting something is amiss, and a cop named Liu Jian starts following her around in an attempt to interview her about the case.
While I won't spoil how things go, the major plot twist is pulled off quite well. While it's not something totally original, the depth and complexity of it is just incredible. The visual effects are excellent as well, adding to Song Qi's atrophying mental health.
I definitely recommend it if you can find a copy.

Gonna update this post as I go along the festival.
Night on the Galactic Railroad
Okay first thing's first. This movie was not presented well AT ALL. There was a lot of wear and tear on the film, the volume's audio suffered a bit from the levels, and worst of all, the translation was also dated and tended to skip a lot. I'm glad I knew some Japanese or I'd be totally lost at some point.
Now for the actual movie. It was an anime feature by Gisaburo Sugii from the 80's, and the main characters are Giovanni and Campanella, who are both cats living in a world populated by cats. Giovanni is alone running errands for his mom when a train shows up to pick him up. He climbs aboard and Campanella joins him moments later, and the two begin a journey across the Milky Way.
To be fair, the plot felt boring and nothing really cohered until the last few minutes of the movie when everything made sense and became excellent.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The train is really a vehicle for the recently deceased and lingering ghosts who are finally ready to pass on. Campanella is revealed to have died in real life while Giovanni was riding the train with his ghost self
The imagery itself is very inventive, as is some of the sound usage. So while it probably could've been sped up a little, I'm glad I saw this feature
7/10 Oshin (Japan)
This movie had a HUGE turnout (people were standing in the aisles, not me, fortunately), probably because this movie was not only based on a Japanese historical drama series that was big down here in the 70's, but also because this movie was getting its North American premiere here (yes, even before Canada. Suck it, hipsters).
The basic plot is about the titular character, a seven-year-old girl living in a mountain village, being sold of as a servant for a wealthy landowner, and all of her experiences along the way.
Oshin's actress was brilliant, and whenever she cried, I started welling up as well, and whenever she laughed, the audience joined in with her. Also credit to Shunsuke, a war deserter who briefly looks after Oshin when she's on the run early on in the film. You could really feel his fatherly warmth and his troubled past in the minutes he's onscreen.
I won't go into much more detail, but it's an excellent movie, go see it when it comes out, and call your mom and tell her you love her after you watch it.
9.9/10
The Last Supper (China) So despite the title's implications to a Westerner, this was to be a Wuxia martial arts movie. Unfortunately the projector broke and we were all refunded. LAME.
What the hell/10

Duuuude!! Elysium is amazing. While some might complain that the story isn't as dense or multifaceted like District 9, Elysium is fucking awesome. Remember that when you watch it, it's all about the nuances and social satires of separating the rich from the poor. I'm like 80% certain you'll like it. I look forward to your opinion. ;D
It's pretty good, although I unfortunately won't be able to review Hentai Kamen because none of my friends are brave enough to see it with me (especially since the movie ends at midnight and most of them bus over).

the good series are the original, The Next Generation, and Deep Space 9
I'm not too familiar with the original or Deep Space 9, but yeah, Next Gen is fantastic. BBC America airs these all of the time and the Blu-Rays are a great way to start as well. The job done to remaster those is amazing. Also, I saw the full episode (Forgot the name!!) where they turned Picard into a Borg in the thearte as there was a limited screening for it. Excellent material for sure.

Holy shit, there are no words. Go see it in IMAX 3D, that's the closest you'll ever be to floating in space yourself. I cried 3 times, 2 of which were completely uncalled for, but the movie was so damn good I started to get emotional out of nowhere.

yeah Gravity is pretty impressive at many levels: wouldn't have bet on it but he managed to pull it off (and almost make me like it better than Children Of Men)
one thing: i still don't understand why Sandra Bullock was necessary in this movie...there are at least 5 better choices for that role on top of my head maybe i'm a (little) biased as i have never found her good in anything.

She was like, the fourth choice, which is usually brought up by a few people complaining about her acting in the movie, but those guys are nuts and she's great in it! >:[
Yeah, I guess I had more of an emotional connection the second time around, like how with TV shows you get more invested the longer you watch or something.

As with Morphman above and you here, I didn't get emotional in the teary sense. Instead, my hands sweat more and more and I hardly moved in my seat. I also found that I was quite tense and my stomach was a little turned once the film was over. I also got goosebumps reading your replies.

The Clooney scene was mind blowing. My head was like "Yeah, he'll come back." And when he did, I was like "see!!" with a sense of relief. But when he vanished, I was floored!!
It's great to see others that were affected by this film. I may see it again and it's a day one purchase.
I also didn't know Sandra Bullock was the 4th choice. Who were the others??

Gravity
I was VERY impressed with the movie. I didn't even see it in 3D and I felt like I was right there in it. I felt all sorts of claustrophobia and connection to Sandra Bullock (and also George Clooney because he's one of the best actors evar). I don't know what to say except... see this movie right now?!

The moment George Clooney died, part of the movie died with him.
No really, I just couldn't like Sandra Bullock acting. I just couldn't feel anything from her. The only actor from the "two" (I don't count the first one to die since it's only voice) that I liked was him. And George Clooney dies after 30 minutes (plus one hallucination that lasts like 5 minutes but oh well). The 3D wasn't anything special, but that may be me only. Also, I just couldn't like the ending, I would have prefered to see the moment she gets rescue and returns to society, not making her pose like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider LOL.
Honestly, for how expensive it is to watch a movie in the cinemas, for only 1h30min (plus 3D that makes it more expensive, and no non-3D option near to where I live) and with the only good actor leaving the movie after 30 minutes, it's not really a movie that I would watch in the cinemas. I would give it a score of 7/10 honestly, which for me it's a "It's okay I guess".

I think it also shows the value of special effects, good ones, at least; in the hands of a director who can compose action shots like Cuarón and not, say, Michael Bay.
I also didn't know Sandra Bullock was the 4th choice. Who were the others??
Apparently it was written for Angelina Jolie, Marion Cotillard tested for it, Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively were briefly linked to it, and it was offered to Natalie Portman without a screen test but she passed. Her loss!

My big complaint with Harry Potter is that the third movie uses time travel as a plot device, and no one ever thinks to use it when Voldemort comes back. And don't bring up the books to me (they have a half-assed explanation that they were all accidentally destroyed during Book 5, which is still too late since Voldemort was already revived by then), it never got adressed in the movie, so as far as I know, the wizarding world is only okay with time travel if it helps kids avoid overlapping class schedules and saving a convict and whatever the hell Buckbeak is.

I love how you worked that part in. ;D
Hell yeah. The film aged gracefully and it goes to show you that practical effects, a simplistic story and action go a long way. Being such an Arnold fan, this is one of his films that I didn't watch too much. I grew up more on Terminator.
So I chose cyborgs over barbarians!!
Rain Man
I remember watching the VHS as a kid. Rain Man is on Cinemax's on demand service in my area until the end of the month, so I figured what the hell, let me catch up on this.
And wow. Was I happy I did.
The film is about growing an attachment to someone you just realized was a family member. Tom Cruise does a good job here portraying this, and you grow attached to Dustin Hoffman's excellent portrayal of a savant yourself. I got a little misty eyed at the end scene where they meet with lawyers to decide Dustin Hoffman's fate.
Great film. As soon as I find it on Blu-Ray, I'm purchasing this one.

the fighting scenes had great fx, it was just the behaviour that was imcomprehensible.
First thing he does when grabbing zod is throw him through a populated building and into a gas station with cars in them. Superman never even seems shocked or concerned about human life. He tells humans to go into the buildings after he just piledrived zod into a gas station, its just weird! Imagine Goku doing that?
Pa kent insistence that his son had to learn to judge humans and never do anything to save anyone was creepy as fuck, they tried to make it pass off as martyrdom and it just didnt work.
Also when the fuck did lois lane and superman fell in love during the movie? They were making out on top of a pile of debris and corpses in one of the weirdest fucking scenes.

(http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2013/05/30/187276981/my-favorite-superman-story-when-jimmy-olsen-created-beatlemania)
Is it true that Channing Tatum's daughter's skill in flag twirling plays an integral role in the final action set piece?
Because I mean, I already know about the "I choose the pen" thing, but I keep hearing about the former and if it's actually true and not some kind of elaborate hoax, then I really need to see the movie.

Live Free above With a Vengance? Get outta here. One has Samuel L. Jackson. The other has Justin Long and "Yipee ki yay mother--". You do the math.
Vengeance is a complete mess from start to its awful finish. It has moments of brilliance here and there, but it drops so many interesting elements and forgets them. LFDH is at the very least thoroughly ok even with the PG-13 hack-n-slash job done to it.

Actors wise, that's Robert Patrick from Terminator 2 (Bruce Willis shot him in the warehouse scene) and John Amos from Coming to America who played Mr. McDowell who ran/oened the McDonald,'s knock off restaurant.

The Goonies (1985) It's nice to watch old comedy/action movies like this one from time to time. Make me remember the movies I watched when I was young, with different types of acting and cheesy special effects, which all lead in the end to an entertaining and adorable movie. :) Grade : 7/10

All Hallows' Eve (2013)
well, this was a random find and i was pleasantly surprised: it had very nice creepy moments (that clown was creepy as fuck, reminding me of "IT" & Krugger mixed up), nice enough gore and apart from some very bad acting & cheesy stuff, it was perfect for Halloween night.
6.5-7/10
Necromentia (2009)
watched this a couple of years ago & i liked it a lot for a low budget type movie: very well set designs, very creepy, very dirty, gory, with a Lovercraft vibe (somewhat) & the whole "pact with a demon" dimension, which i always enjoy...of course, as expected, no Oscar-winning performances though.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Jesus Christ, this movie's retardedly boring. It didn't have the same feeling that the first movie had. It lacked impact and was practically uninspired. It felt as if I was watching one of the old The Mask movies, but not entertaining at all. The camera movement made me dizzy, and Nicolas Cage's acting was pretty saddening. And Ghost Rider twitching on every scene made me twitch in real life, and that's not good.
Only entertaining thing in this movie was the CGI, and the CGI wasn't even that good! I'm supremely disappointed. :wall:

Thor: Dark World
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I felt the movie looked like it was divided in 2, with the first half of the movie being too focused on Thor and his relationship with Jane and his family, then Frigga dies and the sentimentalism continues. I also was expecting them to explain a bit of Thor and Sif's relationship but it was only referenced at the start and then dropped in the second half. It had its action moments and funny bits but there were plenty more in the second half and it felt a bit unbalanced. The second half was just great. From the moment they release Loki the fun factor increases. The final battle with Thor and Malekith being transported all over multiple worlds was really cool. Also neat post-credits scene. Benicio Del Toro looks fabulous.
All in all good movie. Way better than the first one.

It's fun, keeps the lighthearted from the original (for the most part). Watched it in 3D and it was worth it. Who are we kidding, you should watch it you nerds.

(ghost noises) Happy Hallowe-oh goddammit it's over, but oh well, have a ghost movie.
The Uninvited
A brother and sister from London buy a cliff-top house in Cornwall at a ridiculously low price, only to discover that the house may be haunted by a ghost who is all too familiar with its previous owner.
Ever wanted to watch a cross between a B&W Hollywood romantic comedy from the 40's and a pretty inventive ghost story for its time? Well, this is it right here. I won't go too much into the romance comedy aspect (although if you're a fan of these old timey movies like I am, you'll dig it), but the ghost story aspect is played VERY well. There's very creative uses of lighting to set the mood, and musical tones actually complement the scenes instead of driving it like most scores of the day did. What's excellent though is that most of the scares will probably come from your own imagination rather than what you'll actually see onscreen. You'll probably catch the plot twist coming a mile away, but it's still played very well.
8/10

Thor: The Dark World.
Very nice movie. Got the action, entertainment and a pretty good story. I really enjoyed it. I liked Malekith but I saw it with the latin dub, which was absolutely amazing, but I wanted to see how Malekith sounded in english. Whatever, great movie. Much better than the previous one and recommendable. 8.9/10

Thor: The Dark World
well sadly, like i had read & imagined: the villain Malakith is very blend, not very menacing & easily forgettable...the plot has several unexplained parts & is overall all right, nothing crazy good: the only thing that is worth the ticket price alone is fucking Loki, who steals the show AND the good lines... the other thing which saved that movie for me is
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
the end-credits: OMFGGG YEEEEEES!!!!!!!
They really need to come up with another villain that equals or surpasses Loki in this Marvel Cinematic Universe (before Thanos) or each individual movies will keep losing people's interest
i still don't know if i like the first one better, will have to rewatch this in a couple of month. one more thing: DON'T WATCH IT IN 3D (like it should me mentioned to anyone in general anyway...): the fact that i couldn't even have the option to watch it in standard format disgusts me even more.

That's what you get when you watch commercial Hollywood crap (especially movies involving somekind superheroes sci-fi etc.). I rarely take them seriously. Mostly I just shut down my brain and enjoy them as they are. Luckly these are like 10% of all movies I see.
Overall clicheness & lack of logic is also a reason why I prefer movies outside US or Independent/Indie Movies. In these movies filmakers actually pay attention to the story and they do not try to attract everyone (including morons who only care about explosions, sex & boobs), which only makes movie better.
I learned one truth too: Often less known means better.

World War Z I don't care that it's not a faithful adaptation of the book (see image below), it was a zombie movie with a good rythm and some intense scenes. Good acting, and scenario is not 100% predictable. Not the movie of the year, but I enjoyed it very much. Grade : 8/10

Kick-Ass 2
They didn't manage to keep the balance between regular people and superhuman characters in this one as well as in the first. I often felt like the regular people were ridiculously courageous for no apparent reason ("rough up a bunch of armed mobsters using only sticks and stones? sounds awesome, let's-a go!") and some scenes were just beyond reasonable suspension of disbelief (paid mercenary brutally slaughtering 10 cops in bright daylight, while the others help their boss fail to rape a teenager)[avatar]//mugenguild.com/~valodim/twi/hugsno.png[/avatar]

This is The End
This movie's absurdly funny, and unexpectedly star studded. The acting was great and the plot's super cool. I didn't even think that the movie was worth the buy, and I was wrong to think that! Give this movie a shot, like, right now!
I won't tell anything about the story, you'll just have to watch it yourself (Or even with a friend, or a date), the movie's good!

The part where James Franco was suppose to be taken into heaven was incredibly funny. Even now i'm still laughing just thinking about it. Also, the part where Seth Rogen was using the camcorder THEN SUDDENLY HE DRANK HIS PISS. OH MY GOD.

No dumb CGI zombie swarms that don't even eat people
I think the focus of these types of zombies was to spread the infection faster, so they bit people and move on to the next and then they spazed out for 12 seconds or something and bam, infected. I kinda liked that idea cuz it made the infection more dangerous and relentless to deal with, but the pacing of the movie was weird and some scenes were just dumb (the zombies climbing the wall, the scientist who killed himself by accident, etc. I'm not even comparing it to the book, it was just mediocre by itself.

it was perfectly cromulent. Nothing special, but y'know, decent movie. I will echo everyone in saying the villain is totally boring and the two halves feel really disjointed.

and what was up with Hogun in the first five minutes pulling a Poochie (I must go now, my planet needs me). It was really weird, cause then the other two Warriors Three and Sif got fun scenes of them helping Thor and company escape and poor Hogun doesn't get to do anything because he's off on another planet and only appears briefly at the end
But everything picks up in the second half, so it was pretty enjoyable. And oh boy that after credits scene, such a tease. I can't wait for Guardians of the Galaxy aaaaaaa

Eyes Without a Face
French movie from the 60's, it's about a young woman who gets involved in a car accident that horrifically disfigures her face, causing her father, a brilliant doctor and surgeon, to go on a hunt to find girls with roughly the same looks that he can kidnap to use as "transplant donors."
To be honest, the movie's plot isn't very remarkable, and it feels like it went by too quickly, but it shines in the imagery department. There are quite a few images that are just so powerful that you're not going to forget them any time soon (ie: the opening scene in which the doctor's secretary is transporting the corpse of a girl to be dropped into a river). Worth a watch, but I wish it could've gone on longer.

It's Week #2 of me throwing money at Barnes and Noble for their Criterion Collection sale, so here's this week's movie.
The Royal Tenenbaums
Royal Tenenbaum is an elderly man who has three children (one of whom is adopted) who grew up geniuses but have since taken serious falls from grace. Now he is dying with stomach cancer, and he has six weeks to fix his relationships with his wife and children.
Watching the trailers, you think that this movie is going to be some sort of bizarre comedy. In reality... yes, there are comedic elements, but it's more of a look at life and the family unit. As noted in my review of The Darjeeling Limited (http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/last-movie-you-watched-2-lines-review--62589.msg1845949.html#msg1845949), cinematography plays a very big role in setting the mood for the movie. Even moreso in this feature since at times, it feels like you're watching a fantasy movie.

Hahaha yeah exactly. Very odd and disturbing movie yet kinda fun & very original.. You should check out another greek movie called "Alps" from 2011.

it was interesting, like drive in thailand to a point (same director, same main actor), which may have been a fault cuz the driver barely had any lines and it was mostly scenery and ambience when he was around when he wasn't fucking shit up or conversing with his love interest
one main difference,
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(aside from the movie actually being nothing like drive story-wise), he (julian the main character) wasnt a really a pure ass kicking badass like the driver as he literally got his shit wrecked by officer chang, and then they kept showing that muay god during the fight which got me to thinking this motherfucker (chang) was god or something, and then that short sword chang kept pulling out of nowhere and fucking people up with...and then there was the main character's brother who was absolutely fucked up and died a deserving death and then there's his mother holy shit there was some incestuous overtones there what with the talk of which of her sons was bigger penis-wise i fucking swear and it was a preeeeeetty fucking gory movie so watch out for that yea
overall it was a good movie if youre into the director's style, it's not for everyone tho i assure

The Legend is Born: Ip Man
Netflix finally put this on streaming so I finally got to finish the trilogy. Fight choreography is still a blast to watch, so if that's what you care most about in a kung fu flick, you won't be let down. But it lacks in the acting department compared to its predecessors and isn't as satisfying on the whole.
6/10
I wouldn't recommend it as a standalone film or as a first foray into the Ip Man films, but if you saw one or both of the others and wanted to to know how Man got to be a certified badass, it's worth checking out.

Post by: Jango Hakamichi on November 25, 2013, 11:56:23 am
I know I already reviewed this movie, but I think it deserves another look since this time, I watched:
The Darjeeling Limited w/Hotel Chevalier short
For those of you not in the know, Hotel Chevalier is a short Wes Anderson directed. It was originally an unrelated short film, but Wes Anderson realized that Jason Schwartzman's character was very similar to his character in The Darjeeling Limited while he was in the scripting process. As a result, the two are connected, but Wes Anderson himself couldn't decide whether or not to have the two in one feature, so he kept Darjeeling as itself, and decided that if anyone wanted to preface it with Hotel Chevalier, they were free to do so. The Criterion edition lets you pick whether or not to preface Darjeeling with this short.
Since I already skimmed the plotline of Darjeeling, I'll just mention briefly what happens in the short. Jack has been staying in a hotel room for about a month to escape his ex-girlfriend (played by Natalie "Padme" Portman), but she finds him anyway, and they have a romantic encounter. On its own, it's pretty well-done, although it does feel like it drags on for a few parts. It would've been nice to have had a few answers regarding, say, the bruises on the girl's body, but it's okay. It has a nice bittersweet tone through it.
Now the reason why I have to re-review the entire movie now is because with the events in this short, a lot of facets of Darjeeling change a lot. The obvious is that there are a few references to the short in the movie that you wouldn't have known were references otherwise (ie: the story he's working on, the song Jack plays on his iPod for Rita, the whole thing with the perfume). But the biggest difference by far is that without the short, the three brothers seem to be pretty much equals (except maybe Francis since he's, well, planned the whole trip out). With the short, the plot seems to focus more on Jack's internal struggle, with the others being support characters, and it feels like the movie is centered around him ironing out his own problems.
So in the end, I can't decide which I like better. I like the leveling if you keep it without the short, but at the same time I like how Jack's character is explored more.

Alright movie. The transitions they had between many scenes were WAY to fast and it felt odd. Acting was alright for the most part, I hated that woman though, Amy Adams. The two main reasons why I actually watched the movie were 1. Russel Crowe - I love this guy, one of my favorite actors 2. The action scenes - who DOESNT want to see Superman

Star Trek 2: Into Darkness
I'm not a Star Trek fan, but this movie was spendid. Had good to decent acting overall, and good action scenes too. Also, to my surprise, the battles between the Enterprise and the enemy ships were actually cool and not boring as I thought they would be. I like this one better than the first one...
8/10 for me
Hot Fuzz
I can't take Simon Pegg seriously, but DAYUM this is a movie you have to watch before you die. It's hilarious, has badass action scenes, and it's very well written IMO (though that's up to your opinion). As usual, the Simon Pegg+Nick Frost combo worked quite well, though Simon is pretty serious throughout the whole movie in contrast to his more humorous roles in most movies.
8.5/10
Pulp Fiction
I'm not sure how the name relates to the movie's story, but it's very interesting. I've been meaning to watch this for quite some time. I was quite surprised at the end of movie because unlike most Tarantino films, blood wasn't getting everywhere like sprinklers. The movie is made up of different episodes that are all connected to a linear plot.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

An Adventure in Space and Time A documentary movie about how Doctor Who was born in the 60s, and one of protagonists are David Bradley (Albus Filch in Harry Potter movies) as William Hartnell, the First Doctor. This is just a piece of gold you must to see it, even if you don't know anything about DW, it has a good rhythm and the interpretations are really great, and I almost cried a couple of times seeing this movie.

Basically it's Ice Cube and Chris Tucker sitting around all day doing nothing and smokin' weed during a Friday afternoon while trying to come up with 200 dollars to pay some drug dealers who are trying to kill them, all that while getting in some misadventures with their local neighborhood people. Funny movie.
MDD you're a woman beater you piece of shit.

So for the last day of the Criterion sale at B&N, I bought another Wes Anderson movie. LIKE YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.
Bottle Rocket
This movie is significant in that it is not only the first full-length movie Wes Anderson made, but it's also the writing/acting debut of Owen Wilson! Basically it's about three dudes that plan out a robbery that nets them several hundred dollars, their experiences on the lam, and their taking care of their individual skeletons in the closet.
The movie's a lot rougher than what you'd expect from later Wes Anderson features, including lots of characters talking over each other. While it makes the dialog feel a lot more realistic, it also makes it harder to hear some bits. That doesn't make it a bad movie though, and in general you can get a real feel for the three friends and how you want them to overcome their issues and move on. I was expecting a zany heist movie, but instead I got an inspirational movie. Highly recommended.
7.7 out of 10

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (With commentary by Kevin Murphy, Michael J. Nelson and Bill Corbett) [avatar]http://i.imgur.com/XcuR2Oi.jpg[/avatar]
One of RiffTrax's specials they had in theaters, it's as much a bad B-movie as you'd expect with a name like that. Throw in some Paul and Storm playing "Grandma's Christmas Dinner" and commentary from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 stars throughout riffing on everything in the movie, it's absolutely hilarious.

War of Arrows (2011) South Korean film about an archer who risks his life to save his sister from slavery under Prince Dorgon's rule. Great pacing and fighting scenes, lots of tension and good acting. If you like archers, you must watch this movie. Grade : 8/10
Hobo with a Shotgun Why ? Oh god, where to start ? I was waiting for a stupid movie, but I didn't expect such bad acting. That was terrible. Grade : 2/10
Passion (2012) Brian de Palma movie about power and seduction between two women working in the same company (one of them being the boss of the other). Pretty interesting thriller, with a nice plot. I didn't like the opening at the end though, which is incomprehensible to me (or leaves space for too much speculation). Grade : 7/10
Elysium By Neill Blomkamp, with Matt Damon. Pretty great sci-fi movie with some inspiration from Gunmm, exploring some important themes such as immigration, healthcare and overpopulation, while still being a great action flick. Grade : 8/10

Jingle All The Way
This movie is way, way, way more insane than I remembered it. Holy shit. And looking at it now, as an adult, it's pretty clear that Arnold Schwarzenegger is playing a man who is completely fucking insane in this movie, that Sinbad is a psychopath who seems like he wants to commit suicide by cop, and probably doesn't even have a kid, he's just insane, and also, boy howdy there is a lot of weird racial stuff here.
On the other hand, Schwarzenegger punches a reindeer in the face in this movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=768dNAQBr_A), and then the reindeer says "ow", so there's that. And of course Phil Hartman is fantastic, because he's Phil Hartman. And this scene exists. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvSoeJfvMh8)

The Dyatlov Pass Incident / The Devil's Pass (2013)
'Found Footage' Horror Flick, VERY reminiscent in its ways to The Blair Witch Project. By the time it ended, I was profoundly satisfied and thought it was one of those pretty clever, "They did a lot with very little budget" kind of movie. A must watch if you're into the genre, like my nigga Djoulz

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
It's a good movie, but it has two marked problems: - Slow pace and too complacent. - The characters need more development.
Smaug = Best character on the film.
I think this book is too short to be divided into three movies of 2-2.5 hours.

"The Nines" starring Ryan Reynolds
This film was awesome, I recently just found it in a box lying in my room. I watched it last night, and loved it. Ryan Reynolds delivers in this film playing three whole different characters. The evolution of his character throughout the film is epic, and the twist is so surprising but not stupid like most movie twists. I highly recommend it for anybody who likes thrillers mixed with scifi elements will enjoy this film.

Really, The Hobbit is one of my favourite books out there for being light hearted. Those films do not have the same mood as The Hobbit book.
Darkest part of the movie was Murkwood when it comes to Part 2, I'd say. That was more of a given because Murkwood in the book is even mood-breaking. I feel like this is very lighthearted in comparison to Lord of the Rings. The scenery is greener, the landscapes are more colorful, most importantly a lot of the music is a bit more on the rich and humble side outside of any action compared to the foreboding music in Lord of the Rings. It's a complete package deal, the trailers don't really do the product justice, although if you expected the colors to pop out like a picture book, I'm afraid they will not.
Anyways, SEGUE
The Hobbit : Desolation of Smaug Thoughts(it's impossible to talk about this in 2 lines and sound like I know what I'm talking about, so I will indeed use more!) - Overall pretty good, I felt Jackson was a lot more bold and had more familiarity with the cast and his ideas because it was much clearer than the first film in this unfinished trilogy. Definitely paced better than the first even if it has that whole dragging its heels at the end thing.
Pros - Great casting choices(Bombur, Fili, Kili, all of the dwarves worked well), primarily though in the casting of Bilbo, who looks exactly like I'd imagine him to look. - Smaug was absolutely gorgeous to look at here, I was a bit worried they wouldn't capture him completely, but for the most part what I thought he'd look like was how he did(albeit I pictured him to be a much more pronounced shade of red, but that would cut into how scary he looked I guess.) - The barrel rider line is in this movie. Immediate respect and credit should be given on account of this, period.
Cons - Movie does drag on near the end, which thankfully cuts itself short, although that left a slightly bad taste in my mouth

Next in the queue will be East of Eden, just to get the full James Dean experience.

Unfortunately it's just kinda boring for the first 50 minutes since there is things like talking and not giant robot fighting, both of which are things that the movie does really not excel on. A lot of it was funny though, if not intentionally.

Man of Tai Chi
Watched it because I wanted to see what Keanu Reeves is up to these days. What I got was Keanu Leeves the director trying to give Keanu Leeves the actor as many scenes as possible where he only delivered a single, way too serious line with a way too serious look. Stuff like "Is it really?", "Does it matter?", and "Finish him." (srsly)
The story was generic and the ending didn't make sense at all - but the choreographies were pretty nice.
3/10 story 7/10 choreographies 5/10 not an average
Riddick (2013)
I remember liking the second riddick movie, so I checked out the sequel. Just plain BORING. Nothing interesting whatsoever happens in this movie, and there is no action or sfx to make up for that. The plot can probably be explained in its entirety in two sentences. Produced by Vin Diesel.[avatar]//mugenguild.com/~valodim/twi/owlicious.png[/avatar]

I watched this films some time ago, but I want to share my opinion
Pacific Rim
Gorgeous FX, great battles, designs, visually, it's pretty good. But here's the big let down: Del Toro says it's a homage to Mecha Anime right? Well, it's more of a rip-off than a homage, I'm sorry Guillermo, big fan, but, no.
4/10
Hangover 3
HUGE letdown, the movie just isn't funny, there's a couple of funny scenes like Alan singing, but that's it. It's really bad that after 2 glorious movies we get this.
5/10
Django Unchained
Good old Tarantino, long and prefectly written scenes, great dialogues, great characters, great actors, and boy, it's so satisfying watching racists getting brutally punished.
"I like the way you die boy"
7/10

The thing that made me lose faith in the writers of Pacific Rim completely was the sword. More than halfway through the movie, the pilots have a genuine conversation about how they are out of option... and then one comes up with the idea brilliant idea to use that sword which easily makes up 15% of the mech's weight, and go on to single-hit the previously undefeatable enemy.

Saying that it feels like a rip-off of a mecha anime is a really really weak statement, if you ask me. You could talk about the writing, acting and everything else but saying is a rip-off of anything is so weak cause many things are similar in one way or the another (it is a homage for God´s sake).

Evangelion wasn't the first to do any of those things, and it certainly won't the last to do all that. Pacific Rim takes inspiration from the whole of the mech genre, and it's extremely shortsighted to accuse it of ripping off a single series. It mashes up a bunch of stuff and comes up with something unique and interesting.

Or the "I bet the robot will use a sword soon", we were laughing for minutes when that finally happened. The entire movie is so Japanese-ish lol.

Otherwise, Spock was fucking awesome while pissed. Yeah, I gotta pick up the Blu-Ray...
I haaaaaaaaaaaaated that. Not only is he yelling at the wrong person (he should be angry at Admiral Robocop, not Khan, for Kirk's death), but it was an ultimately pointless fight (they had other people in cryo with the magic healing blood) that fucked up Spock's character. Someone else made this point, but it's a good one: this year, 2013, saw two American icons (Superman and Spock), two icons of hope, of peace, of rationality and morality, both descend into petty revenge. Both gave into their baser instincts and abandoned all they're supposed to stand for, all for a kewl fight scene while hundreds of people died around them.
Because we all know saving people doesn't make for exciting cinema, and don't you point to anything like Iron Man 3's plane rescue or anything, that didn't even have any 9/11 imagery of collapsing buildings!

Hmmm. That's a great way to look at it. While watching Into Darkness, I really did enjoy it. But now that you mention it, those small issues, like Spock getting angry, do conflict and mar the whole experience. I remember walking away from the theatre going I liked that, but there are subtle things that I can't pick up on. You just nailed it.
And Admiral RoboCop. I love it. RoboCop is my all time favorite film. ;D

Even a fat Russell Crowe slumming it up as a drunken sexually-deviant Englishmen with a stupid fuckin' gunknife isn't enough to save this movie from being completely awful.

The thing that made me lose faith in the writers of Pacific Rim completely was the sword. More than halfway through the movie, the pilots have a genuine conversation about how they are out of option... and then one comes up with the idea brilliant idea to use that sword which easily makes up 15% of the mech's weight, and go on to single-hit the previously undefeatable enemy.
what the hell.
That seemed like a genre thing, The sword was installed new ( since the original rider didnt know it ) and it seemed to expend a lot more power, explaining why it wasnt deployed all the time.

Im not much of a superman fan so him killing Zod was not that big of a deal to me, but it "being the only thing he could have done" is total rubbish.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Honestly it's been overblown, especially when there are far worse things in the movie. And it's not like Supes hasn't killed a version of Zod before. (Though he was actually bothered by the action for a while, unlike Man of Steel Superman, and it certainly wasn't as contrived)
I don't understand why the internet keeps bringng it up as *the* reason the movie sucks, when you've got Superman causing thousands of deaths in collateral damage and not giving a shit, whatever the fuck was up with Pa Kent, the overbearing and colossally stupid Christ imagery, and Superman's complete and utter lack of personality and drive.

I was kinda afraid to watch it since I heard it was bad, but I really enjoyed it, it has certain vibe which I really enjoyed in a superhero film, the fight scenes were awesome, and I think this may be Jackman's best portrayal of Logan so far.

Or just buried Zod's face in concrete. Hard to burn a family of civilians when all you can see in front of you is ground. The maniac in blue overalls and red cape was strong enough to break Zod's neck, he would be strong enough to shove Zod's face on the ground.
Also, the maniac killing Zod was not even that bothersome. Not after the maniac spent 20 effing minutes levelling Metropolis by himself, killing hundreds of thousands of innocents without batting an eyelash about it. It was meant to be a Superman film, but Superman never showed up... just that maniac mass murderer who wore a symbol pretty similar to Superman's... I so hope Bat-Affleck kicks that maniac's ass in the next film.

I remember seeing Return of the King for the first time and thinking "this is four hours of my life I am never getting back." And you also thought the fucking thing was over like, six times. I also tried viewing the first Hobbit on HBO. Boring and a little too over the top in a few action sequences.
Which brings me to ask: Is it me, or does every single action scene in pretty much any film of today resemble an over the top video game quick time event?? That freakin underground/bridge sequence from the Hobbit felt like a World of Warcraft stage. My point is that there aren't too many smart action films these days.

Pacific Rim
Still mad at the fact that I couldn't manage to watch this at the theaters. First half of the movie is kinda hard to get into because most of the characters are super uninteresting, I was expecting Idris Elba to be more captivating but he was just plain flat through out the whole movie. The battle scenes are so over the top and awesome it makes me angry about missing this one in the theaters just thinking about it. ;__; I hated the guy that played Herman. His character is so annoying. And Ron Perlman still awesome. Overall enjoyed it. Hopefully we'll get a sequel or something of sorts.

Post by: Bizarro Santamorphman on December 24, 2013, 09:32:58 am
Boy oh boy. I just spent the entire day at the movies. Five goddamn movies in a row. And we only paid for two tickets! (would've been one but had to change theaters). So...
Inside Llewyn Davis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuQ8pz-5WLY) The new Coen Brothers movie, about a struggling folk singer (Oscar Isaac) in Greenwich Village, who is technically homeless and relies on various friends for a place to sleep, trying and failing to get gigs and unable to sell any records, and exhausting everyone's good will by being a giant dick.
Amazing movie (to be expected, of course, it's the Coen's) that successfully gets you to sympathize with a really, really abrasive character, and want him to succeed.
Dallas Buyers Club (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ety5kOjlXoU) Based on a true story, Matthew McConaughey stars as a homophobic electrician/rodeo cowboy who is diagnosed with AIDS in 1985, and given 30 days to live. Alienated from his friends (who assume he's gay) and unable to get in on a clincal trial of a possible anti-HIV drug, he begins researching the illness and crosses the border to Mexico to smuggle in alternative treatments. Together with a fellow AIDS patient, a pre-op transexual (played amazingly by Jared Leto), he sets up a "buyers club", in which other AIDS patients can exploit a legal loophole and buy the contraband medicine, as members of the FDA and the medical community try to shut him down.
Pretty great movie but it does at time come off like one of those movies where a white dude learns about the troubles black people suffer and saintly acts as a savior, but only a bit. It doesn't file down the edges of McConaughey's character and make him a shining beacon of tolerance. In the end the performances are what makes this a great movie; McConaughey turns in a great performance (and lost so much weight for the role that he looks absolutely skeletal) and Leto's performance is heartbreaking.
American Hustle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzzojwV9o7k) A fictionalized version of the Abscam scandal of the late 70s, where a FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) arrests a con artist (Christian Bale) and his partner/lover (Amy Adams) and gives them an ultimatum: go to jail or help him bust a New Jersey mayor (Jeremy Renner) and several members of congress in a sting operation involving a fictional investor, an Arab sheikh; that is, if the FBI agent's boss (Louis C.K.) will approve of a $2 million wire transfer for bait and all the expenditures involved, and if the con artist's unpredictable wife (Jennifer Lawrence) doesn't wind up blowing the whole con.
Great movie, nice blend of comedy and drama, and Louis C.K. and Jennifer Lawrence absolutely steal every single scene they're in. Science oven!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug No more summaries. It was pretty okay, an enjoyable movie. The cast is fantastic, even when shouldering stupid shit like the love triangle that was inserted for some reason (poor Evangeline Lily! she speficially signed up with the promise that there wouldn't be one, and then they add one in later!). It's much better than the first of the Hobbit trilogy; the added stuff isn't as noticably "obviously not part of the book" as it was in the first movie, even though it has by far the stupidest addition (the love triangle). It's too bad that there were so many bad decisions made in making these movies, because the component parts are all excellent and it could've been a great movie(s), instead of just okay-good one(s).
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Funniest movie of the year, by far. I was actually pretty worried that this wouldn't be very good (the long gestation time, the plastering of Ron Burgundy almost everywhere, the fact that almost every comedy sequel is just a retread of jokes from the first movie and aren't very good), but man, this not only exceeded the expectations that I had right before watching it, but it exceeded the ones I had when it was first announced. And I wanna single out the climax, cause it's simply so goddamn fun that it rivals Pacific Rim in the "oh my god is this seriously happening oh my god it IS happening" award for 2013, which I just made up. It's just a fantastic movie. Not as good at the original, but a completely worthy sequel.
Also you forgot the lame thing with Jor-El being a sentient hologram or whatever he was supposed to be.
Spoiler: trigger warning: inane Superman bullshit from an obsessed person(click to see content)
Unfortunately that's not all that new (the Christopher Reeve movies introduced a lot of stupid shit) and has slowly wormed it's way into various versions of Superman. And I hate it because it's so stupid and is usually to the detriment of Superman's human parents (especially Pa Kent, like this movie), and ugh. Superman's parents should be dead and never show up again after Krypton explodes. They're shouldn't do anything else.
Which brings me to ask: Is it me, or does every single action scene in pretty much any film of today resemble an over the top video game quick time event?? That freakin underground/bridge sequence from the Hobbit felt like a World of Warcraft stage. My point is that there aren't too many smart action films these days. Today's Film Producer intellect appears to be lower than that of 20 years ago and all they want is bigger and better. Not elegant and smarter.
I think it's mostly because of CGI. I'm not knocking it or anything, it's obviously an amazing tool that can make a whole number of things previously impossible possible (like, say, the entirety of the movie Gravity), can do already possible things better/easier, and is practically limitless as a tool. But it's also very prone to abuse, and that's how you end up with Peter Jackson abandoning the way he combined effects practical and computer-generated to focus almost solely on the latter, because he has more control over the final image, and camera placement, and such. Which is unfortunate because it makes everything feel much less real.
Hopefully we'll get a sequel or something of sorts.
It did well enough overseas (but not in the US, because fuck Adam Sandler) that a sequel is very likely. Which is great!

My parents have apparently looked at my movie library lately because for Christmas I got...
Rushmore (yup, bet you didn't see that one coming!)
It was a pretty nice movie. Basically it focuses on a high school student who's failing all of his classes yet is a genius in all of his extracurricular activities, and the struggles he faces when he falls in love with a special someone. Jason Schwartzman somehow exudes an aura of innocence, even when he's trying to seduce a teacher for first graders. There's just something about his performance that feels totally genuine. It's really weird to say that he outshines Bill Murray, but since most of Bill's acting seems to be below the surface and you seeing what's going on in his mind without him expressing it, I guess that's understandable.
The themes of this movie go... well they go along with a lot of Wes Anderson's themes that I've noticed thus far, in that there's a focus on staying true to yourself, even if it goes against conventional thought. The color usage is definitely good, although I feel that the palette this time around isn't as strong as in his other movies. The soundtrack, however, is immaculate, and I found myself humming a lot of the tunes.
8.3/10
Spoiler: Explanation of my recent Wes Anderson kick(click to see content)
I guess an explanation for my recent fanboyism of Wes Anderson needs to be explained. My ex-girlfriend and I (we're on good terms with each other) have lately decided to try each others' tastes in movies, since we both like very odd styles. She's usually into arthouse movies, and I have a thing for incredibly cheesy movies. Anyway one of her favorite directors is Wes Anderson, and the movie that got her into Wes was Rushmore, which also introduced her first actor crush, Jason Schwartzman. I was skirting around with the other movies I mentioned first, but now I figured it was time to finally see her recommended movie.
On the other side, I've had her watch The Room, Gamera VS. Guiron, Hausu, and Sharknado.
P.S. The Criterion release has sketches featured for the 1999 MTV Movie Awards as extras. The sketches are great in that they play in the Rushmore universe with the same characters, but are all adaptations of movies that actually exist (My favorite is their stage version of The Truman Show). So definitely check it out if you can!

I also love Wes Annderson. I watched Rushmore long time ago mainly because of Olivia Williams (she is so awesome) but I enjoyed it so much, then I watched The Royal Tenenbaums which made me even bigger fan of him. Recently I saw his latest Moonrise Kingdom which blew me away how different, yet simple it was. Anderson is Genius, period.

A handful of minutes later as we were wrapping up our day, saying "Good night" and all, she started a very insightful speech, very meditative and emotional. All I remember from that moment was "BINGO, COLLATERAL EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH THE MOVIE SUCCESSFULLY MADE"

Woody (Bruce Dern), a senile old man. becomes convinced that one of those "you could win $1,000,00!" scam-type dealies is actually saying that he literally won a million, and he decides to travel Lincoln, Nebraska from Montana to collect it (he's not trusting the mail with a million dollars!). Only problem is, he can't drive anymore and his wife refuses to take him because it's a scam. So he starts walking there, and gets caught, and keeps trying to make his way there. All until, his exasperated son David (Will Forte) decides to drive him there himself, just to show that it's fake,over the objections of his wife (June Squibb) and his other son (Bob Odenkirk). Their journey leaves them in an extended layover in Woody's hometown of Hawthorne, Nebraska, where David beings to connect with his distant father, and discover the broken remains of his father's life; all the while as word spreads of Woody's million dollar winnings as extended family and old friends begin to show up, seeking money.
Great, great movie. It's funny, it's sad, it's poignant, and full of great performances. Dern is of course great; Forte, who has previously only done comedic roles, is excellent; and Squibb is fantastic as a fiesty, vulgar, but still loving wife and mother, who has easily one of the funniest scenes of the year:

walking through a graveyard where Woody's family is buried, with her husband and son in tow, she describes various people who are buried there to David, making startlingly frank pronouncements (Woody's dead sister: "she was a whore.

It's great to see your opinions on these. It's also great to see that you spent a day at the theatres!! Lots of good stuff as of late... which is odd in my opinion. What I quoted above is on my must see soon queue. I also agree with you 100% on the CG factor. My friends and I always say that back when creators (For Games, Film, etc.) had less to work with, they had to be more creative in their ways. Now, everything is simpler to make, and therefore overall quality takes a slight hit. Look at how Jim Cameron filmed the future wasteland sequence in the first Terminator Film. That shit was crazy.
I saw Wolf of Wall Street on Wednesday. Holy fuck was it awesome. So awesome that it made me want to get high on ludes!! Seriously though, this is easily one of Scorsese's top films as it immediately sits up there with The Goodfellas, The Departed and Casino. Lots of laugh out loud dark humor is peppered throughout this well crafted story of corruption, and how much crazy "fun" you have with it, on Wall Street. I feel that it's pacing was a little off throughout the final 1/4th but that's splitting hairs.
And Matthew McConaughey's character was a riot with that chant.

The Challenger Disaster TV movie, about the aftermath of the space shuttle Challenger explosion, specifically about Nobel-winning physicist Richard Feynman's role in the presidential commission investigating the explosion, his attempts to cut through the bureaucracy and self-serving misinformation to get to the real truth, and how various people leave hints and lead him along to discover how the failure of the o-rings in the solid rocket boosters led to the explosion, because, as the only independent agent on the commission, only Feynman can expose the truth of things that they themselves cannot. Great movie, full of great performances (as one would expect, what with it starring Willaim Hurt and Bruce Greenwood). Hurt especially in his role as Feynman is fantastic.
My friends and I always say that back when creators (For Games, Film, etc.) had less to work with, they had to be more creative in their ways. Now, everything is simpler to make, and therefore overall quality takes a slight hit.
I dunno about that; it certainly can lead to bad stuff, but I don't think it's an automatic deadweight for everything. It's just such a powerful tool that it allows for a lot of abuse, but it's still absolutely vital.

For a good example of that, see the CG for Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. It's there, but you can't really tell most of the time, and they draw you in enough to keep you interested in what's happening rather than the pretty CG. Sure, The World's End broke this trend, but I can forgive them for that.

The Wes Anderson crusade continues (although I did watch "The Man Who Knew Too Much," but I've seen that movie like 10 times already so whatever).
Moonrise Kingdom
Two introverted, misunderstood 12-year-olds meet and fall in love, and try to run away from their homes. Everyone in their island community goes nuts looking for them, and to make matters worse a storm is on the way.
Of the Wes movies I've seen so far, this one seems to take a bit of a different approach from his previous works, especially in that it focuses on children rather than have them be supporting characters to adults who are coming to terms with their life decisions. As a result, we get a look at 'tween notions of romance and the pains of growing up and being misunderstood. However, the adults also have some impressive acting, such as Bruce Willis and Bill Murray (although I'm starting to see that so far, Bill plays pretty much the same character each time he's in one of these). There are some off-looking special effects, and some plots points that require HUGE extensions of disbelief, but all in all, I enjoyed it.
7.9/10

Her (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzV6mXIOVl4)
Set slightly in the future, a writer struggling over his recent divorce gets a new operating system, the world's first true artificially intelligent operating system, and begins to fall in love with it (and it with him).
Great, great movie. Easily one of the year's best (2013) movies, full of great acting; Scarlett Johansson (as the AI, Samantha) is especially a standout. Her performance, voice-only, is truly revelatory. Seriously, go see it. Posted: January 12, 2014, 06:43:32 am goddammit watching that trailer is making me tear up again :qq:

I'm left wondering just how comical this supposed "sex scene" with a computer in the movie is going to be after Daily Show's interview with Scarlett.
That and wondering how long until the GLaDOS/Cortana/SHODAN parodies on the movie show up.
But yeah, definitely looked interesting, was looking forward to seeing it.

The most comical sex scene in the movie does not involve the computer
Spoiler: it's relatively early in the movie but still, spoiler(click to see content)
the funniest is a cybersex scene (well, it's through the internet, but the two participants are speaking vocally), specifically the point at which someone says "Choke me! Choke me with that dead cat!"

'Her' also sounds like one I should check out. The concept sounds vaguely similar to that of Robot and Frank, which is also set in the near future and features a new kind of helper robot, I enjoyed that one too (though Frank and the Robot have a more friendly relationship, nothing romantic).
Tiger Cage 2 (1990) Oh dear what a gem I came across! This action-packed martial arts flick stars Donnie Yen, and you already know it's gonna be good from that. But I got so much more then I expected. For one, I wasn't aware it had this much comedy in it, and it worked so well for me, it had me laughing out loud almost throughout the entire movie! And the fight scenes are, well, extraodinary. If you're into chinese martial arts movies then you must check this one out. I watched it with a fandub, which was so great because of it's quirkiness. Well you know, the standard chinese dubs kind of way :) Donnie Yen's character really has a bad day in this movie, I can tell you that! Also it has Robin Chou from Mortal Kombat 'fame' as the villain, and he's great!
ps. This movie is in no way related to the first Tiger Cage. It has a handful of the same actors in it, but they don't play the same characters.

Elysium finally getting around to seeing it after deciding to hold off based on the mixed word-of-mouth upon its release. I think I made the right decision. I love District 9 but this was kinda disappointing. It's a decent movie and I enjoyed watching it, but I'm still kinda disappointed because I know the director can and has done better. Blomkamp is still great at action sequences and the way he maneuvers the camera, but the allegory of the movie is laid on far too thick. I know a lot of people said the same about District 9 (I disagree), but here it really is a bit much. And a lot of the plot points feel too convenient and kinda took me out of the experience. But man, the action is just so great, and well-directed, which oftentimes feels like a rarity nowadays.
Fargo Wanted to rewatch this, and it's still as great as ever. A true classic.
'Her' also sounds like one I should check out. The concept sounds vaguely similar to that of Robot and Frank, which is also set in the near future and features a new kind of helper robot, I enjoyed that one too (though Frank and the Robot have a more friendly relationship, nothing romantic).
Oh, well, Her doesn't have any robots. Samantha (the AI) is a totally incorporeal entity.

Posted: January 21, 2014, 05:08:37 am Escape from LA Somehow with 8 times the budget of its predecessor, it looks incredibly cheaper than Escape from New York. It has almost the exact same beats as New York, but each in LA is groan-worthy and has zero subtly.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower It was so much time a film like this doesn't got me in, and this just did it. With times I felt like the protagonist, with a great OST (since the movie/book is based on 80s, of course it's great), great character developments, a good cast (I recognize various actors from Scott Pilgrim), and Emma Watson it's just gorgeous and credible. I felt like a wallflower too, an instant classic. And this is like the third time I saw it in cable, and doesn't bored me, not ever Rating: 9/10

justice league: the flashpoint paradox
So I jailbroke my iPhone and got moviebox. I decided to search up flashpoint and I watch the whole thing. Long freaking story short, I wanted to cry so damn bad. Shit was so sad man. I loved it, but I almost cried. Spoiler cuz imma talk about why this movie is so damn sad
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
alright man, this is some straight up sadness. DC comics really doesn't pull their punches when it comes to movies like this. The whole movie was a tear jerker, like I'm not used to an alternate universe where batman is merciless and Wonder Woman kills fucking children man. Saddest part of the whole movie. She just picks little billy up and stabs him with her broken sword. Now I know why lots of movies don't show children being killed cuz that'll make even the toughest dude cry. And superman omfg he's a little twig that acts like a bitch and he's only around for a couple scenes. That's not the supes I know and love! Friggin aqua man just kills anyone and everyone all merciless and ish like wtf? You just stab lex Luther and that's that? I just can't. Everyone who bags on aqua man should watch this. That ending made me shed a tear though. Flash gives Bruce a letter from his father from the flashpoint universe and after reading, Bruce cries!! That broke me bros. flashpoint was good, but I'll never watch it again for fear I'll cry hardcore. If your a fan of dc, this would prolly be a good watch for you. Wish dc would make more movie specials from other comic specials like darkest night and the others. This gets a solid 8 from me. R.i.p flashpoint billy :'(

Post by: Basara Dandy on January 26, 2014, 07:21:20 pm
I read the original comics, the Flashpoint series, so I think I can explain you some stuff about the movie:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
First of all, Superman was found by government instead of Kents, so he spent all of his life in a place like Area 51 being a guinea pig instead being raised as a normal child by Ma and Pa Kent, so he doesn't know a thing about the "American Way" and stuff. About Wonder Woman and Aquaman, they become merciless because both were lovers but they separed and then they killed important people of each other (WW killed Mera and Aquaman people killed Queen Hyppolyta, Diana's mother)
Anyway I've to see the movie, friends told me is a great adaptation of comics, so I've to watch it to confirm that...
And yes, I want a Blackest Night movie too, that wouldbe awesome as hell :D

Sorority Row
The original House on Sorority Row is a favorite of mine, so I decided to look at the remake when it popped up on one of those commercial free movie channels. This....was better than I was expecting actually. Not as good as the original but alright on it's own. My main gripes being there's just way to many unlikable characters and a pretty lame killer. Also, the start of the movie is very weak.

Decent on it's own I guess, but compared to the Sam Raimi movies it's just really weak. Peter being a generic prettyboy and generally being kind of a dick pissed me off the most.
You nailed my feelings on this one. I remember watching the Amazing Spider-Man in the theatre and was irritated with the safe scenarios and lazy writing. Dude... a fucking school is obliterated by a massive fight. Then it's back to normal a week later. Or Spidey has to swing across town in a quick amount of time. Wow, look at all of those cranes and how all of them are lined up. Oh!! I just got shot in the leg. I think I'm much better after 5 minutes of limping, so I'll just walk normally now. The very first Spider-Man is still very good to this day because I feel it captures the campiness of Spidey perfectly.
Elysium finally getting around to seeing it after deciding to hold off based on the mixed word-of-mouth upon its release. I think I made the right decision. I love District 9 but this was kinda disappointing. It's a decent movie and I enjoyed watching it, but I'm still kinda disappointed because I know the director can and has done better.

But man, the action is just so great, and well-directed, which oftentimes feels like a rarity nowadays.
I concur. I loved this when I saw it. While it lacks the complexity and depth of story that District 9 has, Elysium is still a fantastic film. I loved it. I actually have to still pick that one up on Blu-Ray.

Ender's Game
Damn that was a good movie. It obvious that they were speeding through the whole movie trying to catch the main parts of the book (which I haven't read), but it's quite good if you can look past that. The part just before the ending is a mindjob. It feels somewhat different from your typical sci-fi movie but Ender keeps it interesting with his odd personality. Awesome movie, but I bet the books are a lot better.
The original book was written somewhere around 1982 :stare:

Batman: under the red hood
Another moviebox movie I decided to check out. Red hood has and will always be my favorite outfit on the joker in injustice, so I decided to watch the movie origin.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I've always wondered why batman doesn't just kill the joker. That's one thing I agreed with Lazarus pit robin- err red hood, on. If batman would just go Thomas Wayne on joker, then his job would be so much easier. It's not about moral or killing off many more enemies. It's about killing 1 to save many other lives because joker has taken so damn many. Killing jason Todd woulda been a deal breaker for me, but it's whatevs. Batman says that if he kills 1 then he won't be able to stop killing? I'm sure joker is the only guy worth killing. Penguin, scarecrow and everybody else aren't even close to jokers kill ratio, so killing them wouldn't be necessary. But hey, jokers my favorite batman villain anyways, so it's whatever. This movie was pretty good. 8.5! c:

Ender's Game Awesome movie, but I bet the books are a lot better. The original book was written somewhere around 1982 :stare: 8.5/10
Yup, book is much better, but I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. :) As you said, the movie rushes through the mosit important parts of the book. In the book : - Bean is much more developed. He even has a series of books for him. That's how awesome he is. - The mindfuck at the end is much more powerful in the book. - The "video game" holds a very important part in the book. In the movie, Ender just plays it once or twice. - The sister's story is more interesting in the book. But overall, it's a pretty good adaptation IMO. Grade : 7.5/10
Stars Wars Episode 4 Do you need a review LOL ? Strangely, I watched a version with Jabba in 3D, but where Han shoots first... Grade : 8/10
Star Wars Episode 5 Ditto Grade : 9/10
Wolf of Wall Street What everybody said till now. Pretty awesome movie, with both "that's disgusting but I want a life like this" part. I thought the last 45 minutes were kinda boring and slow though. Grade : 7.5/10
Tiger Cage 2 Watched this movie with Donnie Yen after Balthazar told me too. Kinda feels like a Jackie Chan movie, with all the comedy and fighting. Kinda cheesy at times, with many stupid incoherences in the scenario, but a pretty fun watch. Grade : 7/10
Gravity I watched it on my 46" screen and not at the cinema, in 3D. That being said, apart from the first 15 minutes and also the moment where George Clooney reappears (!!!), I thought the movie was kinda slow and boring. I wasn't convinced by Sandra Bullock's acting at all. It wasn't bad per see, but when the whole movie is based on her acting, it's kind of a let down to not be convinced... So yeah, it may come from the fact I was expecting too much after everybody said it was the best movie ever, and also from the fact I didn't watch it at the cinema, but I didn't like the movie so much. Grade : 6/10

Because then why shouldn't he kill all his villains? Most of them don't reach the body count of the Joker, but a bunch have death on their hands.
Batman just shouldn't kill, and here is an obligatory for me Chris Sims article backing me up (http://comicsalliance.com/batman-kills/).
- Bean is much more developed. He even has a series of books for him. That's how awesome he is.
But those Bean books are godawful! I mean I guess the first one isn't completely terrible but even then it's all so over-the-top and just feels like Ender's Game, but with all of the challenges the protagonist faces have been turned up to eleven and made cartoonishly horrible. And the rest are even worse!

Blue Jasmine
Cate Blanchet's performance is pretty good. Somewhere 2/3 into the movie I could see a mile away how it would end. Still, a nice change of pace of watching only blockbuster movies. RATING: Solid 8/10
Gravity
Decided to revisit in my 50" screen at 1080P, like Cybaster. Didn't cry this time, lol. I still find it as good. I agree with Cybaster that probably if you didn't experience it in a Movie Theater, you missed out on a very immersive and engaging story of hope and survival. It's THAT much more engaging when seen in the theater.
STILL, when I install the projector I bought, I'll make sure to watch it again. I just love this movie. RATING: Instant Classic/10

I was wondering why you changed your sig and your avatar. Redline certainly was amazing because it contained everything an Anime should, like excessive speed, amazing design all around, stereotypical yet believable character archetypes, a good soundtrack and a decent story. However, the biggest draw is that it feels old school since it's hand drawn instead of complete CG. I saw this about a year ago and I loved it.
It also reminds me of F-Zero GX and I fucking love that game.

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers: Producer's Cut
I honestly want to know how this is better than the version we got. Why did we need to know that Michael impregnated his niece? (for that matter, why did the cult want to make another member of the bloodline when the whole point is for him to kill it and oh gee I have a headache) Why was Michael, who has been shot, blown up and burned stopped by a bunch of stones on the floor? And what was up with the cliffhanger ending?
At least the Theatrical cut was laughably bad. With the silly head explosion and the lead pipe ending.

Cabin in the Woods I can sort of see where the hype came from this film because it's got a hell of a concept. The problem is that the film falls apart around half-way through. The Friday the 13th remake did a better send-up of slasher films with its intro. Only God Forgives I'm an incredibly simple man, so the artistry of film is lost on me. Even with its abundance of symbolism, I was thoroughly entertained by the film as a beautifully shot sleazy crime/revenge flick.

I'm sure I can think of something...
hmm, there's gotta be something...
oh, I guess Jamie's death is slightly less awful and at least it's relatively quick after all the shit she's been through? And Dr. Loomis doesn't get killed off-screen like a punk... yeah, not a lot going for it.

Cabin in the Woods and resurection are both fine movies in my book. 8.5/10 for Cabin, 7.5 for Alien. They're cool. Don't hate. Plzthnxbye.
Thor: The Dark World I was entertained by this movie much more than by the first one. I never understood why people liked the 1st Thor movie. So long, slow and boring, without any fucking action. In Thor 2, while the scenario isn't very powerful, and the plot twists are pretty obvious, the movie was visually astounding and the overall action very entertaining. That is what I expect from a Marvel movie, even though it kinda lacks in the humor department. Grade : 7.5/10

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
Been sitting in my list on Netflix for at least the last year, finally said fuck it last night and fired it up.
A hillbilly slasher movie where the hillbillies are the protagonists and the dumb college kids are really fucking dumb. It's not a subtle movie, all its setups are really obvious (HEY THAT BOARD'S LOOSE, HEY LOOK AT THIS WOODCHIPPER, HEY CHAINSAWS), but aside from inducing genre-savvy groans, it doesn't really affect the payoff and virtually all of it serves to compound the situation.
7.5/10 easy, great if you like gore in your c-- wait a minute somebody doesn't like Cabin in the Woods?!

I thought the first half of Thor 2 was BORING AS SHIT. And on the subject of Alien 3, the movie would have probably been better if it weren't for all the script rewrites and studio executives always on Fincher's ass. The production was a major mess, and it was Fincher's first movie where he had little time to prepare and all that. It's sad really. :(
The audience on Rotten Tomatoes gave the Assembly Cut 88% though, maybe it's a better version.

So finished the 2nd Hobbit movie. Is it me, or is there a lot of action scenes in this one? After the barrel scene the plot slows down quite a bit, feels like they were dragging the story out. It was nice seeing Orlando Bloom again (I f*cking love Legolas).
Even with the dragging plot, I enjoyed this quite a bit. Looking forward to the 3rd movie, which may or may not be the last one.

The Face of Another (1966)
A disfigured man who hates everything gets a new face and slowly begins to lose mind. There's something about a mummified man complaining about everything that is both entertaining and sad.
The doctor who constructs the face believes that the world would be a better place if everyone was "faceless" or something like that; he's an interesting character with a ton of great lines.
There is also a subplot that involves a brother licking the disfigured face of his sister who was injured in the Hiroshima bombings. So if you're into that I recommend it.
10/10

yeeeah we're just gonna stick that one in the marvel (fox?) cinematic universe, like shit
i mean, yeah its based (loosely, loosely as in name only holy shit) off of the first class series from the mid 00s but even so that team consisted of cyclops, jean (going by marvel girl at the time), iceman, angel, and beast
sebastian shaw is pretty much a completely different character here btw (they tend to do that, think deadpool from the wolverine movie) his powers, while dope for the movie, dont work like that (they basically made him a white version of bishop for the movie), that is, he absorbs almost any attack into kinetic energy and whatnot and it makes him brolic as all fuck, but he's not immortal, he also was never aliased as klaus schmidt, not a nazi at any time in his life, and was not involved in anything that involved magnus when he was younger as was demonstrated in the film what the fuck. and the hellfire club doesnt function like it did in the movie, its more of a "secret" society type thing, and they dont want to start world wars, the fuck
also, he has a son named shinobi shaw who has similar powers to shadowcat but he uses his to phase thru people's chests and crush their hearts on some gangsta shit
tldr; nah, only in name but yeah i thought it was a pretty good movie

From Beyond (directed by Stuart Gordon)
well this has been a favourite of mine since the first time i saw it (at 11 years old) and i still love it: ridiculously gory, twisted, over-the-top, very vaguely based on/inspired by HP Lovercraft's mythos, and with 2 of my all-time favourite horror actors: Jeffrey Combs & Ken Foree!
8/10, also because of the old school fxs :p

Post by: Bastard Walt on February 17, 2014, 05:25:51 pm
Awesome, thanks for the recommendation, one more to the HORROR LIST ^ Here's one for you, mah niggs @Djoulz:
Open Grave (2013)
Much in the vein of other Spanish movies like Timecrimes (Cronocrímenes 2007) and The End (FIN 2012), this Spaniard-directed film does a lot to tell an interesting story without a bloated budget. People are stuck in a cabin in the woods without remembering who they are, and there's a pit full of dead bodies. As they try to figure out why they're there and what's the mystery behind the dead bodies tied to trees around the property, the plot twists and turns at every corner. It keeps you engaged, it's better than the critics and scores may suggest.
Give it a try if you're into the thriller / biohazard genre. The ALL UNKNOWN cast hurts it a tiny bit. Rating: Solid 7.5~8/10

Godzilla VS Mecha Godzilla (1974): Very fun film with a great villain. Mecha Godzilla gives Godzilla and King Caesar a run for their money. The plot is okay, well within what one would expect from a TOHO film. The fighting scenes are excellent and the effects top notch for a 1974 film
King Ghidorah, the three headed monster (1964): Another Godzilla classic. The plot is very confusing (girl from Venus, what?) and we get a lot of giant monsters on this one. Godzilla ducking out with Rodan, Mothra trying to convince them to fight together against Ghidorah and then finally seeing Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra take it all on against the terrible King Ghidorah to save the earth. I almost cried tears of joy there.
Mothra VS Godzilla (1964): Possible one of the most classic Godzilla films, and an overall fan favourite. Mothra's egg washes ashore after a typhoon, setting motion to the film events. The plot is quite interesting and can catch your attention while you wait for the inevitable giant monster battle. Godzilla returns, Mothra fights him, dies and reborn from her egg. More giant monster fighting that involves lots of miniatures being destroyed. Odin, I love seeing cardboard miniatures being destroyed by men in rubber suits ducking it out!
Godzilla vs Mothra - The Battle for Earth (1992): Now back to the Heisei era. After the huge success that was Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, TOHO put out a new film rather quickly, bringing back another fan favourite, Mothra. But we don't only get Mothra! We get Battra as well! We get tons of giant monsters fights on this one. Godzilla battle Battra, Godzilla and Battra fight larvae Mothra, adult Mothra fights adult Battra. Mothra and Battra ally and defeat Godzilla!!! Good effects, good fight scenes. All I needed from a Godzilla film. There was some sort of plot going on middle film, but I didn't quite pay attention to it.

Alien 3
The plot is sadly a mess, but the film is still enjoyable. There are enough moments of tension, the xenomorph does major carnage, humans have to be creative to deal with it. It is a good way to spend some time. Definitely not on par with Alien and Aliens, but still not a thoroughly bad film. It could even have been a masterpiece hasn't it suffered from so many rewrites.

Body Double (1984) A Brian de Palma thriller with Mellanie Griffith. It's about a guy who's an actor and gets fired. He sleeps at a friend's place, where he can spy on a very pretty neighbour. After a few days, he witnesses her murder. Didn't age too badly, with an okay script and fine actors. Kinda slow at times. Still a fine movie, and a reference for who likes American Psycho.

The former. As in prayer monks. I think that idea played well in the film with convicts since prayer gives hope and was a nice parallel to the darker side of everyone. Charles S. Dutton as a badass bible freak!? That's awesome. But to have an entire planet of just plain monks?? Lame IMO.
Title: What the CUSS?! More Wes Anderson?
Post by: Jango Hakamichi on February 24, 2014, 12:10:28 pm
I'm one movie away from seeing every single Wes Anderson feature film ever made now (two if you count the upcoming Grand Budapest Hotel)
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Criterion Version)
Well, this is certainly a different sort of movie than what I've come to expect from Wes. While I've never read the original book (I've read a few other of Roald Dhal's books though), this movie feels like a sort of hodgepodge between Dahl's slightly dark yet whimsical storytelling and Anderson's... slightly dark yet whimsical storytelling. So the combination is actually pretty good!
George Clooney definitely steals the show as the titular character, but the rest of the supporting cast is excellent as well, especially Jason Schwartzman as Ash Fox and Bill Murray as Clive Badger. What's really incredible, however, are all the aesthetics. The action scenes are incredibly well done, and some of the stylistic choices are brilliant (ie: whenever someone gets electrocuted, or any digging scenes). If I have one complaint to levy against the movie, it's that... well, in the end the storyline is more of the same that you'd expect from Wes: Its moral is yet again focused on being true to yourself and being grateful for individual differences, which is a good moral, but I'm starting to wonder if Wes can write a story without that theme.
Also, I love how they use super adult swear-phrases and replace the swear word with the word "cuss." ie: "If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss!"
7.8/10
Title: Re: Last movie you watched + 2 lines review.
Post by: Jango Hakamichi on February 28, 2014, 03:06:37 am
Alright, my stylist told me to see this movie, so if you're my stylist and are reading this piece, mission accomplished.
The Lego Movie
The story centers around a dude named Emmett who is trying to fit in and follow the rules needed to succeed in society when he accidentally stumbles on "The Piece of Resistance," a solid red item that, according to prophecy, will stop the evil Lord Business from destroying the LEGO world on with a mythical device called the Kragle (it's not what you think it is), and reveal Emmet as the "Special Brick Master." Naturally Lord Business finds out and Emmett has to team up with a bunch of heroes from across the different LEGO "worlds" to save the day.
Okay, I'm going to be honest, I entered this movie expecting total garbage. When I left... well I still think there are some rough spots (Cuss it Emmett, shut the cuss up), but I was pleasantly surprised with how it all turned out. The aesthetics for this movie are incredible, and seeing all those bricks flying around and reassembling themselves for special effects is ridiculously beautiful. In terms of complexity of the plot, it does remind me a bit of Wreck-it Ralph in terms of all the rules that the LEGOs have to follow, but you really don't understand why they're in place until near the end of the movie.
Spoiler: The big spoiler that changes the entire movie(click to see content)
All the worlds are actually separate displays IRL created by a 40-something father played by Will Ferrell, and the story is about his son breaking into the display and trying to play with the pieces and make a story.
All the little shout-outs are really nice too (ie: seeing the DC superheroes' chemistry, the medieval land being "Middle Zealand," and a certain piece of junk that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs showing up), and when the jokes aren't trying too hard to be funny (ie: every time Emmett opens his mouth), they actually end up being quite memorable.
So it's not a masterpiece (GEDDIT), but if you have some spare time, it's a good movie to check out.

I hinted about this in the QOTD thread, but here's my actual review
The Wind Rises
It's a fictionalized account of the life of Jiro Horikoshi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiro_Horikoshi), and his fascination with building airplanes, and the sadness that comes with those airplanes being used for war. Also there's a love story with a girl he meets early on.
This isn't Hayao Miyazaki's best work. Thankfully it's better than Arietty, but that's not saying a whole hell of a lot. I feel that the movie would've been EXCELLENT if they trimmed roughly half an hour of material, because a lot of it just feels like getting from point A to point B. Did we really need to see Jiro putting out a fire at a library that we'll never see him studying at? Hell the whole sequence when they go to Germany felt like it didn't need to be there.
As it is, however, it feels like it's too dragged out with not enough of a pay-off to justify it.
6.7/10. Yes, I ranked it lower than The Lego Mo-OHGODIT'SCOMINGBACK

Renato's son from the one time he had sex with a woman is getting married to a girl he met in college, but problems arise when they find out that the girl's parents are ultra-conservative. Furthermore, her father is the Secretary General of the Union for Moral Order, who has to deal with his own problems when the Union's president is found dead in the arms of a black underage prostitute. Naturally these families need to meet up before the marriage. Uh-oh.
If you've seen The Birdcage starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, you know almost exactly how this movie will turn out, and that's because The Birdcage is an American adaptation of this movie (yes, I know this movie is based on a play, but Birdcage was specifically modeled after this movie). Naturally my view is going to be a little skewed since I loved the chemistry between Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in the remake, but the performances in this movie are pretty memorable as well. There are also a few prop gags that weren't in the remake that are awesome in this movie (for a non-spoiler example, there's a gag involving a fertility idol with a giant penis in both movies, but Folles has more fun with it). Despite the small bits of stereotypes and racism (the maid, Jacob, for one), the movie does a really good job of sharing its message of tolerance and equality. And this was back in 1978. It was way ahead of its time, so it gets points for that.
7.8/10

The Lego Movie
A great, funny movie that turns out to be a lot smarter than it really has any right to be. The ensemble cast does a terrific job bringing life to their characters, especially Morgan Freeman and Will Arnett, who is now in the running for my all time favorite Batman. The twist at the end wasn't exactly hard to see coming, but it really does help deliver the message the movie was trying to send.
Spoiler: Not actually spoiling the big twist ending, but if you read this then you'll probably figure out what it is.(click to see content)
The Lego Movie is actually scathing, though fairly well disguised, criticism of the way Hollywood treats its adaptations of childhood nostalgia properties, like Lego for example. Things like Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and especially Batman get revamped and rebooted and put together just so, and they get marketed as gritty and mature and adult, or whatever else they need to say to prove that they're definitely "for grown-ups," oftentimes losing the air of childish fun that made us love them in the first place in the process. Look at The Lego Movie's Batman: Constantly scowling and growling and demanding that everyone take him seriously as a dark, mature hero despite the inherent silliness of himself and his circumstances.
It also gives a good backhand to all the fans who consume said nostalgic media, and especially the ones who get angry and complain whenever the new thing doesn't perfectly line up with the old version from their memories. It poses a very necessary question to those people: If you allow yourself to get so bogged down with obsessing over how the things you like are "supposed to be" that you're no longer able to simply enjoy them, then what's the point?
9/10 Everything was awesome.

Killers on Parade (1961) A league of colorful assassins (amongst them: a doctor and a woman who carries a goat) are commissioned to eliminate a female reporter who seeks to expose local crime bosses. One of the hitmen is love-struct and shenanigans ensue. There is a Reservoir Dogs-esque scene in which the assassins discuss their recent "jobs" at a restaurant that's pretty great.
6/10.
100 Shot, 100 Killed: Golden Eye (1968) Dollar store rip-off of the 007 series. A bunch of operatives from different agencies are sent to investigate a gold-smuggling scheme. One of the agents, the protagonist, gets his hands on a rare gold coin that is worth a ton of money and thus attracts some unwanted attention. It's mostly a comedy, but there are some dark moments where characters are murdered/betrayed. There are also nuns with guns.

Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II (1993)
It's... okay. Fun and entertaining, with good monster fights. The plot is a bit messy, but passable. The whole bit about baby Godzilla being Rodan's half brother and that bit with Rodan and Godzilla at the final fight with MechaGodzilla II are quite confusing.
But it is in no way as epic as Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla (1974). Watch it for the monster fights and massive city damages.

After all those years this movie is still my number 1 on my top thriller/films of all time list.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Dae-su was in state of shock so maybe that was the reason. Maybe he was tired of killing ? I mean if he wanted to kill Woo-jin then he would have to kill Mr Park too, otheriwse he could show box to Mido. I absolutely loved the ending because it was so different and it was exactly opposite of western movie ending would be. Just look at remake, it's exactly that type of ending and it make movie much worse to original because it's somewhat predictable (main hero suffering and paying for his sins etc.).
You should pick up more korean movies. They are not that good as Oldboy, but some of them are really close. From top of my head I recommend I Saw The Devil (villan is played by the same actor who played Dae-su), Chaser and Memories of Murder.
Koreans definitely don't afraid of controversies and fucked up stories, I can tell you that.

lot of things retaken from the original (minus the Paul Verhoeven touch). weak execution. weak special effects. not enough violence (& blood) for something that deals with war/crime/violence. fuck the ironman-type-armor hype riding. where is Clarence fucking Boddicker ?

For some reason I decided to watch the US remake of Godzilla. The movie so offensive to the legacy that even Toho mocked it in their own films. To be fair I haven't seen this in years so I had a bit of a fresh perspective looking at it. I kinda found it a little enjoyable in it's own way....but not as a true Godzilla movie. At all.
As repeated time and time again about this movie, you might as well just watch the original ones again.

300: The rise of an empire - Too much blood for the sake of blood. Not that it bothers me, but it's just blood for the sake of it. - The sex scene was forced IMO, and I couldn't feel the hate/passion at all. - You see a guy jumping a 30m cliff, then from another angle he actually jumps 2 meters. WTF LOL. - Some 30 seconds fight scenes with no cut were really nice. Like they hired a Hong-Kong movie choregraph for once. Entertaining, visually appealling, even though I thought the quality of the CG was a little poor at times. Nothing to remember in 10 years, but a cool watch anyway. Grade : 6.5/10

Creepshow
It's an anthology of horror stories written by Stephen King and directed by George Romero. I started watching it because it featured a rather impressive transition from comic book graphics to live action scenes (the main 'plot' revolves around a kid and his recently trashed comic collection, which comes to life)
This is a movie from the 80's, so obviously there's no cgi, just good ol' fashioned make up and latex. And I think that's what I liked the most. The silly monsters bring back good memories; I loved Goosebumps and Tales From The Crypt as a child.
Some of the stories are silly, and at least one of them is delightfully evil (and considerably longer than the rest). I feel like watching more horror movies now.

I didn't see RoboCop. On the other hand, I watched Dredd and holy shit was it crazy cool. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was well done in my opinion.
However, one can't help but notice the blatant similarities between Dredd and Raid: The Redemption. Dredd is pretty much Raid with more shooting, and Raid is Dredd with martial arts. The plot is also just about identical with plenty of scenes that mirror one another. Seriously. You have to wonder who ripped off who here.
Regardless of that, Dredd was awesome. I liked it a lot even if it wasn't perfect and the storyline was a little thin. Solid action with plenty of amazing style and set/scene design (The Slo-Mo effect is masterful here if you ask me).
Oh, and the soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF6tW055Hhxf6aEcVRfATH73OXY65hlQD) was phenomenal!!

Oh brother, that ticks me off. That ticks me off SO MUCH.
Me and my friends were at Starbucks, the usual Friday night. My friend's phone started ringing, and it played "Let it go", or some shit like that. I was like "Ew, bro, what song is that? Turn it off, it sounds horrible.", then my friends, and a few people near our table gasped. They literally gasped.
I don't want to watch the movie, but my friends are forcing me like crazy. I just might cave in one day.

The third person I talked to about this at work may let me borrow his Blu-Ray. And that is the only way I will watch Frozen. I hate Disney Films. Let me elaborate now that you have this subject on my mind.
I realized that with all of this Frozen talk, my love for Disney films (Not Pixar... Those are 3D films to me; I associate with Disney being 2D and do not consider Pixar to be Disney) diminished when I hit puberty/adolescence. I loved all of the stuff, like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. I used to know all of the lyrics to all of the songs. Since those films are aimed at kids, obviously I began to dislike them as I grew older.
What kills it for me overall?? The damned singing!! I hate it when there's a song and dance. So if I tried to watch Aladdin right now, I'd skip past all of the musical bids, or cringe and shut it off and pop in Wall-E or any of the Toy Stories. No thanks to that. The best way to describe my thoughts on this is the awesome episode of Rocko's Modern Life titled Popcorn Pandemonium where the garbagemen are on strike, and sing about it whenever they appear on screen. Every time they do, Rocko gets mad and asks why are they singing!? That's me.

That was actually one of Shyamalan's best. Unbreakable was all about the buildup, and holy shit was the plot twist crazy!! I believe the last time I saw this was in the theatre with a few scenes here and there whenever it was on television. I still remember the sensation of surprise I got from this as if it were yesterday.

Godzilla Final Wars
The plot is thinner than a sheet of paper, the whole clearly Matrix inspired mutants thing is cringe worthy, the excess of CGI hurt one's eye, there is a badass wrestler... wielding an effing katana?, there are pointless human fights that no one want to see, save for the wrestler ones (that could use a whole ton more of real wrestling moves)...
BUT... the monsters fights. OH the monsters fights. Lovely, lovely stuff, with practical effects here and there with complimentary CGI that is not so bad, save for a few effects. Much fun was had at those, even though there were a few senseless things on those as well. Zilla lasted, what, 7 seconds? That's 2 seconds too much. And Gigan would NEVER stand a chance against Mothra, no matter how many improvements they added to it. Mothra alone could whoop the ass of Gigan and Monster X at that part of the film.
Watch it for the monster fights.

Hey now you're an all-star, singing isn't always a bad thing to have in movies. For example:
Coraline had that number where the Other Dad sings to Coraline about how much he loves her. It's great because it's short, beautifully animated, defines his character very well, and adds to his moral conflict later in the movie. It also foreshadowed the rest of the movie, there's that.
Fantastic Mr. Fox has a musical number where Petey goes on to sing what would've been the ending in the book, but Bean interrupts the song asking what's going on. Petey tries to say that he's improvising, but Bean counters, "That's just weak song-writing! You wrote a bad song, Petey!"
Tell me you did NOT start choking up a little when Fievel started singing "Somewhere Out There" while his sister miles away was singing the same thing in An American Tail.
The songs in either of the Willy Wonka movies. The older one keeps a theme going when each of the kids is eliminated, and the newer one has fun with a bunch of different genres so it's really fun to listen to them.
There's probably other examples but those are just the ones that I remember off the top of my head.

one of my all time favorites, decided to watch it because it's the 30th anniversary (in universe) that their detention took place
good movie, brought a lot of tropes into play, revolutionary shit, but it's corny as all hell because 80s also, "the freak" (ally sheedy) was hotter before her makeover, just sayin and i would obliterate both her and molly ringwald, sexually
great movie, I recommend it if you've never seen it, jango

Honestly, I never really 'got' John Hughes films because they are kind of cliche and dated by modern standards, but Breakfast Club is an exception. I am not usually into 'teen angst' in entertainment-form, but here I did enjoy the emotional/crying scenes. I found the starlets to be at their hottest and most compelling when they were 'self-destructing' (Ally moreso than Ringwald). Breakfast Club is my 'sad girl paradise' film that I can always pop in to see vivid tears.
I do agree that 'The Freak' looks better before her makeover.

But.... maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. It's a musical! You gotta have song and dance in there, it's the whole point! Where would Little Shop of Horrors be without an opening song establishing the mood, setting, and motivation of the two major characters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0kSBiu1IGk)? Or the one that quickly provides exposition but in a fun way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHXWUhWf8fU) (da-doo!)

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7SkrYF8lCU) Or the triumphant love ballad that manages to rhyme something with Seymour? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DD7VIKZnGA) Or the one where the giant man-eating plant reveals its dastardly origin and evil scheme? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovu0_VFJsBY)
... I should rewatch Little Shop of Horrors.
Spoiler: not actually a spoiler(click to see content)
the reason I bring it up specifically is that the people behind (Alan Menken and Howard Ashman) it went on to do the music for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, and following Ashman's untimely death, Menken went on to compose for most of the future Disney movies

You're probably correct, since without Calvert's structuring, it's pretty much just a bunch of random scenes cobbled together (LOL PUN) with a vague sense of story. Granted, a beautifully animated product that even in its incomplete form is AMAZING to watch, but plot-wise it has the depth of a Looney Tunes cartoon stretched out over a feature film's length.
It still sucks that Disney obviously stole Zig-Zag (http://i.imgur.com/unr0IGD.jpg) and split him into two (http://i.imgur.com/XaV3jvp.pngtwo) characters (http://i.imgur.com/69dY7Gs.jpg), though.

I just realized I bought this movie a while back and never sat down to watch it.
Rango
A pet Jackson chameleon is stranded in the desert following a weird set of circumstances, and finds himself in a wild west town populated by desert animals. Realizing that he has no real identity or past, he charms the local residents with tall tales of being a gunslinger and becomes the sheriff of the town. But then when the town's water supply is revealed to be down to its last few days, Rango (the name the chameleon gives himself) is faced with actually having to prove his heroism.
I was NOT expecting this movie to be good at all, especially considering Nickelodeon Movies' track record. However, I was really, really blown away by this movie. The animation is ridiculously beautiful, creating a nice compromise between realism and cartoony looks. The acting is also really good, and the entire cast does some excellent voicework. Johnny Depp's role as Rango is HILARIOUS in what is basically a PG-rated cross between Jack Sparrow and Raoul Duke (read "oh my god this is awesome"), yet you can really empathize with Rango's growth as a character. Also the story is really good too.
8/10

This movie also has continuity with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Sjm8VW1Rs), and now there's a valid explanation for the reptile zoo scene (http://youtu.be/Ib_5nnWbb_4?t=1m39s)!

QUEST ANDERSON CONTINUES
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Gustave H, the concierge of the titular hotel, finds that an elderly woman he had relations with has been murdered. Furthermore, he finds that in her last will and testament, she has left him with a painting titled "Boy With Apple," a painting that's so priceless that everything else that was distributed (even her entire estate) is considered worthless in comparison. Naturally, he has been pinned with the murder and now has to find a way to clear his name. Also he is training Zero Moustafa, his new lobby boy who will also become his closest friend and confidant.
I have to say this movie does quite a bit different from what you've come to expect from Anderson. While there's a lot of his usual flourishes like his deadpan and dark humor, meticulous attention to detail, and a general storybook-like presentation, he's also done away with some of his usual stuff (ie: no Rolling Stones track here, nor is there a slowmo camera sequence, and most of his stable of returning actors is confined to smaller, almost cameo roles). That said, I think this is in high competition for the top spot for my favorite Wes Anderson movie. Gustave H and Zero's relationship is both ridiculous yet genuine at the same time, and even Adrien Brody's performance as Dmitri is a mixture of shocking and hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet, even if you're not a fan of Wes Anderson's movies, do yourself a favor and jump in. You will NOT regret it.
9/10

Good point and I see what you're saying. For instance, I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show and... kinda enjoyed it... but I wasn't much for the singing. I do understand that it is a musical, but musicals aren't really my thing.
I watched the new Total Recall with Colin Farrel last night. It's actually quite good from a technical, I.E. watching it as merely a film. I loved all of the subtle tech touches and very good references to the original film. While you can't replicate Arnold's style or replace the original, the new one was good. I liked it and was surprised that I did.
And I also watched The Conjuring (Showtime was playing some good stuff yesterday). Holy crap was that awesome. It was creepy and engaging. I found myself glued to the screen when creepy stuff was going on. And that doll. That creepy doll.

The ending didn't confuse me though. It makes sense if you think about it: everyone's timeline is essentially a loop (Young assassin person grows old, old self is sent back and killed by younger self). So the loop was cancelled, hence the *poof* we got at the end.

Hmmm... I think it goes along the lines of the same time parallel/loop happening, but with the possibility a slightly different outcome. It's like Back to the Future 2 and the Doc explaining to Marty the alternate 1985 timeline that was going on. Bruce Willis came from the future where all of this had already happened. His younger self still has to set things up so that they happen they way they did, or will differ so it makes sense to have both of them exist in the same time period. That possibility is eluded to with Bruce Willis trying to remember where he met his wife, since his younger self was changing things as the story progressed.
If you guys want some total mind-fucking time travel film, check out Timecrimes. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) That was really well done.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
It was an awesome action movie; IMO, this one, along with Iron Man 1 and The Avengers, is one of the best movies the MCU has brought so far. A lot of action since the first minutes, we finally see the Cap showing his true leadership. All the characters were great overall, not annoying characters as far as I remember. A lot of cool references to other characters from the universe.
Also, two post-credits scenes (we just watched the first one, though, but it was really great to set up the events for Age of Ultron).

It's an anime movie sure, but it's amazing. I was expecting some boring movie but it turned out to be really catching! The story was very well written and the emotions of the main protagonist were very very well shown. The art, omg, is just beautiful and matches perfectly with the story and screenplay.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Absolutely fucking incredible. Easily one of the best Marvel movies, I think it might even surpass Iron Man and even Avengers for me. Still thinking about it though.
Great character work, great acting, and stunning action sequences that are excellently composed and with great, clear choreography and geography, something that is far too often lacking in the action scenes of today.
It's not exactly a faithful adaptation of the Winter Soldier arc, but it keeps enough of the details and does some really interesting stuff in its place: a crazy fusion of 70's-esque conspiracy thrillers and a superhero movie (there's no coincidence that Robert Redford, star of so many of the former, plays an important character in this) It all combines together fantastically, taking advantage of the shared Marvel movieverse while avoiding the kind of bloat and obvious setting up of the next Marvel movie that plagued things like Iron Man 2 and others. You gotta see this if you haven't!
And seriously, there needs to be a Black Widow movie!

here I'm gonna quote some people
raoulfgonzo said:
I think this is why Captain America is becoming one of my favorite heroes, despite being only recently introduced to him and through the movies no less. He's old-fashioned without being stodgy, he's American with a capital-A and suggests that no matter what horrible things may exist in America's past, present or future, there may still be something redeemable about us. He's patriotic without being jingoistic. He's like the closest thing to a national conscience (in fiction of course). I don't always (or often) feel proud to be an American, but Cap makes me feel like I can.
goodmanw said:
I always think of Cap as a paladin- someone for whom moral righteousness is, in a fundamental way, a source of his power- as written by people who don't really believe in paladins and white knights. He's someone who contructs his morality in a way that belies the worldview that creates noble white male heroes to save everyone from change- and as such, winds up being almost an anti-establishment radical, because being genuinely good often requires opposing the institutions that lay claim to the virtue. Superman is actually, in the best hands, a similar figure- it's a way of writing that can at times redeem the whole superhero concept, to have a superhero as capable of being John Brown as George Washington.
Cap is a great character. >:[

Yeah, I watched it today. :P Captain America: The Winter Soldier As said, great story, great pacing, great action scenes, good little comedy moments, etc. Pretty much everything was great, and even though I'm still not a fan of the Captain America character, I really enjoyed this movie. Only thing I could say is that when you have something like this that affects SHIELD entirely, you'd expect Ironman or the X-Men to come in at some point. But it's a Captain America movie, so yeah ... Grade : 8.5/10
Jack the Ripper (1988) A two episode series for 3h20 about the story of Jack the Ripper, with Michael Caine as the leading character : chief Inspector Abberline, who's leading the investigation. Great acting, great story based on real facts, good pacing, a must see if you don't know so much about Jack the Ripper. Grade : 8/10

Everyone's been watching some good stuff as of late. I suppose I'll add to that list.
Silver Lining's Playbook was actually really good. While simple all around, the story was tight and Jennifer Lawrence can act. Also, the chemistry between her and Bradley Cooper is great. I'd give this a solid 7/10.
I got around to watching the original Planet of the Apes from 1968. Whoa was this good. It has aged very well and the themes throughout are pretty deep (segregation of classes, bigotry, belief vs fact). While some dialogue and acting feel dated, this is still a very good film. 9/10.
And the new RoboCop was... boring and quite frankly, terrible. I really did watch this with an open mind without comparing it to the original, but that didn't help. It's a shame too bcause there are flashes of brilliance here (The film starts off on an interesting note, Robo's HUD is awesome, the effects for subtle tech implants are cool, and interesting elements/themes are peppered throughout) but it just doesn't add up to anything. I was constantly looking at the clock waiting for this to be done. That's not a good thing. And it's a shame because Padilla is a very good director. 2/10.

One of my favorite movies ever.
If you liked this one, I suggest you see Escape from the Planet of the Apes - which is basically the first movie with species roles reversed - and if you can get the Director's Cut and have a strong stomach, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which is pretty much a commentary on the Civil Rights movement. Both of them are really good, Conquest in particular being my absolute favorite of the original Apes movies.
You can totally skip Beneath and Battle, though. They're both obviously very low budget and poorly done (expect lots of pullover masks and clumsy dialog, especially in Battle), and they both have subterranean mutants as villains and it's stupid. Still, you might want to watch Beneath so that you know why Escape starts out the way it does. Only watch Battle if you have lots of booze on hand and hate yourself.

Predators (2010) Hadn't seen this one. I thought it worked a little bit too hard in trying to please the fans and the action was so-so. Still, if you like the franchise it is ok and enjoyable...IMO, a better attempt at Predator than the two "Aliens vs" movies.

S'not so much about korean culture than it is about an individual mind just snapping when all he wants is a life with no bullshit without having to live knowing his own wrongs. Because even while hypnotized when doing his own daughter, he was fully conscious of it all and that twist just hit him like a million tragedies all at once.

Same goes for Jamie Foxx, the building of Electro was great, even when it started a bit weak. Very good sequel, I loved this movie; my favorite Spider-Man movie so far.

They did a darn good work with merging the new scenes with Raymond and paying very strong attention to the details while respecting the original material. At one part, they even added a Brazilian journalist reporting by phone back to Brazil about the 8 missing ships in PROPER Brazilian Portuguese, something Marvel couldn't do in their Hulk film.

Friday The 13th (2009)
Can I ask what everybody's main issue was with this one? As a reboot effort it's a lot truer to it's origins than the Halloween (abusive family turns kid evil) and the Elm Street reboots (lol Freddy using a butcher knife IN THE DREAM WORLD). The only things I really hated about it were that dumb subplot about Jason kidnapping a girl because she looks like his mom and the pretty lame ending.

Kung Fu was third to the last, that's pretty darn good and at least Melody died first, the damn bitch. Also in my headcanon, the aunt brings her back to life and Kung Fu responds by killing her, then going on a rampage throughout history. Like Forrest Gump with a hot Japanese Girl and more bloodshed.
ANYWAY
Nosferatu (1922, Kino Classics version)
Thomas Hutter is sent to Transylvania in an attempt to convince the elusive Count Orlock to purchase a house in their hometown, Wisborg. Orlock is all to eager to sign it, but rumor has it that he is connected to the legendary Nosferatu, who drinks blood and will descend upon the population like a plague.
There's an old joke in literary circles that if someone was to read Romeo and Juliet today, they would say that it's too full of clichés. The same would be said about viewing Casablanca. And in a way, that's what watching Nosferatu today is kind of like. They're are many, many elements of this movie that we take for granted today. Disgruntled superstitious villagers? Check. Vampires rising out of their coffins unnaturally? Check. People going insane? Check. If you are watching this movie for the plot, you will have seen all of it before, played serious AND comedic.
However, there is a magic about this movie, one that his since been lost to time. First of all, as a German Expressionist film, you will see a bunch of odd geometric layouts in the film, adding to the surreal dreaminess of the movie. It's quite interesting as it makes you feel like fantasy and reality are combining, and the result is just familiar enough that it borders disturbing. Orlock himself takes the cake, however. Every time Orlock was on the screen, his presence was just incredible, from his appearance, his mannerisms, hell even his shadow is awesome. Sometimes I'd forget I was watching a movie and that I was watching a real vampire captured on film. There are few things that can send chills down your spine than seeing Orlock staring straight at you from across a dark hall then slowly making his way forward. Jeez, I'm getting chills just typing that.

We get that with Japanese tourists down here too. A lot of them end up buying Blu-Rays of movies that are Japanese movies or anime simply because it's cheaper to get here than in Japan. Hell once I saw a tourist buy a box set of the Zatoichi movie series on Criterion Blu-Rays, because even though Criterion releases are relatively expensive compared to other movies here (usually double the cost of the average Blu-Ray), they're still HALF of what they charge in Japan.

In Kung Fu: The Winter Soldier, Mac should also be resurrected and serve as Kung Fu's sidekick, but the only thing she does is sit off to the side, constantly eating. We might need another person brought back, maybe Prof, to give exposition and shout "Kung Fu, you're so cool!", though.

Noah
I nearly confused this movie with LotR. No kidding, some parts made me think if they truly forgot this was about a certain fragment of the Bible. But oh well, those LotR parts were actually really fun to watch, even if I personally thought they didn't fit that much with a "religious" theme. Anyway, about the movie, it was okay, until the part in which they manage to enter the ship and save themselves, the whole movie just turned boring from that point to the end of the movie. It felt like they just tried to make it interesting until that point then gave up for the latter part, turning the remaining part into a boring drama. Cheap drama is not what I want to watch in the cinema, seriously.
Also, from all the goddamn actresses they could have picked, they had to pick Emma Watson. She doesn't fit in the movie at all, her face is too "modern-like" to fit in a movie that happens in B.C, and personally I never have liked her as actress, even when she was doing Hermione in Harry Potter. Also, Jennifer Conneli in the movie must have acted as the wife that drank from the Fountain of Eternal Youth, because LOL, Russell Crowe keeps getting older and older in the movie, but she doesn't seem to change her age at all. The greatest mystery in the whole movie IMO.
It was a nice movie to watch, but not as good as I thought. Typical case of trailers tricking you. I would have given it a higher score if I hadn't watched the terrible drama parts in the 1/3 or 1/4 remaining part of the movie. My score here:
6.5/10

Do you know Aronofsky's work and intentions behind every single one of his movies? The recurrent theme is the gradual degradation of the main character's psyche, sometimes into madness, sometimes into their own demise.
Noah was clearly going insane, an he wasn't exactly the one dimensional character from the Biblical tale. He was overzealous of his mission, even if it costed him his happiness and the life of his family members. It's a parallelism to the test that God put Abraham/Isaac through, though it was unprecedented in the Bible, and Aronofsky's test to the viewer is that God didn't speak to Noah directly, but that Noah was trying to decipher God's design and plan.
Boring? Subjective. Drama? Not intentionally. Cheap? Definitely not.

The main problem I saw in that part was not Russell Crowe paper in the whole thing. He did an extremely good job in his Noah character, and I was frankly surprised at how Noah was turning more and more like a bad guy as time passed. The other actors, however, did not (except Jennifer Conneli) and the way they all acted in the "drama" part made me feel like I was watching a cheap TV drama show. That's why I was bored (and not only me, but my friends too) when we were watching that part. Well, it was more annoying than boring I guess.
Plus that silly last fight near the end that amounted to absolutely nothing at all left us unsatisfied with all the build-up it was done just to end it that way.

Two main complaints with this movie. It's too damn long and Electro's theme is annoying. They could have easily cut some of the scenes featuring Peter and Gwen and the movie wouldn't have been so big, and Electro's Paranoia theme playing in the Times Square scene was kinda annoying. It kept getting louder and louder I hated it. With that aside, it was a great movie. Great chemistry between Andrew and Emma, Dane Dehaan was great as Harry (it actually felt like Norman loathed him when he was talking to him on his bed, pretty cool imo), lots of references to other characters, the final battle against Electro and Goblin was awesome (Electro's face on the building, Harry's Goblin transformation). The villains actually felt really evil as the movie nears the end. The Rhino was fun too, even though he only appears at the start and at the end. Overall great movie.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Well, eh... how can I put this... Film is not thoroughly terrible. Ewan McGregor, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Lee and Ian McDiarmid all did a good job with what they were given. But Hayden... oh dear Odin... if we replaced him with a cardboard cut or a rock, we'd end up with a more expressive Anakin. Natalie Portman was very bland in her role too. The Anakin / Padmé scenes are so cringe worthy. >.<
Film gets a 4 out of 10. If we could get a cut where all the "Anakin / Padmé" "romance" was cut out of the film, it could be maybe a 7 out of 10 and would be much more enjoyable.

Way too generous. I found Episode II actually worse than Episode I. Episode I has so much wrong with it, and on occasion you get the sense that it knows it's terrible. Episode II looks like it's trying to be good but fails miserably.

Amazing Spiderman 2
I only saw the first one about a month ago, and I was skeptical at first, but I've gotta say Garfield smacks it out of the park. I love his Spiderman, his Peter's a little different but still very likable, strong supporting casts with a nice dose of intrigue. Raimi's three were decent if hammy action movies; these two are amazing Spiderman movies.

Did not expect to see Felicia at all, let alone where she was, let alone that bit in the credits. It'll be interesting to see what they do with her in the next movie. That last fight with Electro was corny as fuck though.

A visceral and thrilling movie featuring Ryan Gosling being a badass in general. I was kinda surprised seeing Albert Brooks in the movie (haven't seen him in anything in a long time) and also RON PERLMAN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bklvZGVHhjA)

good movie i agree, the minimalistic nature really sets it apart. there's also "only god forgives" which is basically "drive" set in thailand, it's weird, check it out, from the same director and also starring ryan
don jon
it was interesting, good, i was expecting a basic rom-com in the same vain as 500 days of summer (tho in no way similar character wise for obvious, specialized reasons), what with the womanizing lead, sexy as hell scarlett johansson who dry humped jon to orgasm at her door and just left him there as she locked him out, that was a funny scene. also channing tatum and anne hathaway/cuba gooding jr and meagan good playing fictional stars as fictional characters in some horribly cliche short scene romantic movies that would mirror the plot of a movie like the titular one or a 500 days, very meta
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
but just like 500 days, things fall apart midway thru and never pick up again, either thru his faults or the girl's refusal to accept hers, in jon's case, it was his porn addiction which eventually got him the boot, but he got over it and overcame a lot of his faults that scarlett's controlling character never admitted to and didn't want to change. it was pretty sad actually. eventually he gets with the woman in the end who helps him overcome his porn addiction and who helps him find real meaning and emotion in sex irl and not the fantasies found in porn that can ruin a man's expectations the same way romantic comedies can ruin women's, he also has a turbulent relationship with his father, played by tony danza, and his mother's voice is annoying as shit but that's all played for comedy really
a good movie for jgl's directorial debut, fairly realistic, unlike what most would've gotten from the previews, and as i said before ive liked him from his indie days (im not biased) and this didn't disappoint. i recommend it

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
I really liked it, I agree with the Peter/Gwen stuff, too much, and it turned annoying at times, I love Garfield's Spidey much more than McGuire's, Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHan were plain awesome as Electro and Harry, I LOVE the new suit, it's the one more similar to the classic suit so far, the final fight was fantastic, the only thing I would complain about is the excess of Peter/Gwen crap, but c'mon I don't get tired of watching Emma Stone.
Also, was there a post credits scene?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Well, I have to say. I've never been to a movie where at least a full 1/4th of the theater left so early in the movie. I didn't care much for the guy playing Peter either, or his crying at the beginning, but jeez.
Beyond unexpected audience response, it was....ok? I wasn't exactly captivated by their performances, but they did well enough. Mostly Harry's scene at the bedside and Electro's response to the public and Spidey in Times Square.
Also, Electro's theme. Everywhere. To the point they make fun of it in the movie.
Well, there was a commercial for the next X-Men movie for me, but they had one that runs on your phone when you play the music during the credits while running some app on it. Which I find funny after all the rules and warnings before the movie's trailers start on not using cell phones in theaters.

It was alright. Not great or anything, but it was nice to see an X-men movie that kept it simple in terms of scale and just focused more on the characters. Action was pretty good too, though the final battle was just kinda bland compared to the awesome bullet train scene.
I just wish they would let him wear the fucking yellow suit.

I saw these two a few years ago, but I have rewatched them recently. I will try my best to review them but I am not a columnist at The Dissolve so do not expect much.
Red Desert (1964)
An Italian drama about a disabled woman adapting to an industrialized wasteland. There is a feeling of gloom and isolation throughout, but the film has a few 'uplifting scenes' to create a balance; one such scene takes place in an 'orgy shed' (it isn't quite as graphic as it sounds). It kept my interest for the near-two hour runtime so that's good.
8/10.
The Living Skeleton (1968)
A seaside town infested with Yakuza is haunted by a ghost ship out for revenge. One by one the Yakuza-pirates are picked off by the ghost of Saeko's deceased twin sister, Yoriko ... or is it Saeko herself?
A fun movie with an interesting villain.
7/10.

Only Lovers Left Alive
Adam is a brilliant musician/scientist living in Detroit who lives his life in seclusion, releasing rock music anonymously, creating a sizeable fandom that keeps him financially secure. Eve is a woman living in Tangier who is very intellectual and collects many classic written works spanning several centuries. These two are married, but live apart from each other for reasons yet unknown. Then in one of their video chats, Adam hints that he's been feeling suicidal, so Eve drops everything to fly to Detroit, rekindle their romance, and help him change his mind.
Oh yeah, and they're vampires.
Now before you go "OH MY GOD JANGO'S WATCHING VAMPIRE ROMANCE MOVIES," I want to point out that this is a very different kind of vampire romance movie. Namely that the couple in question are vampires and married. The movie almost seems to be a deconstruction of the genre, especially since a big plot point is how they manage to keep up their blood-sucking in the modern day, and the answer isn't Twilight's "let's eat forest creatures to stave off the hunger."
Spoiler: Explanation and spoiler(click to see content)
Adam gets it through a blood bank by bribing one of the doctors there, whilst Eve gets hers from a vampire named Christopher Marlowe. Yes, that Christopher Marlowe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Marlowe). There are multiple reasons that they avoid the "traditional" means of drinking blood, the first being the obvious problem of murdering humans and getting in trouble with the law. The second, as we find out later in the movie, is that vampires can be infected or even killed from "bad blood," and while it's never explicitely stated, it's clear that one vampire dies from contracting HIV from a batch of such bad blood.
It starts off pretty slowly, but starts to pick up once the two are in the same apartment (and not just because Tilda Swinton's boobs make a guest appearance). While I could've done without some of Adam's statements about religion/science/etc, it's very well-written, and it's a nice breath of fresh air for both modern vampire and romance movies.
7/10

I recently caught a leaked version and I have to say, I'm not at all shocked they had little fighting (a few Godzilla movies do that)......but this is a roughly two hour long flick. I wish we had seen a bit more of Godzilla himself with that length.
Not a bad Godzilla movie I would say. The fights we did get (especially the last one with the female) were good stuff. Just wish they didn't cut away each time a fight starts (this happens TWICE).

I haven't seen the movie yet but I don't think it's the same thing as the Transformers movies, it's probably more humanized than that, in a way that Gareth Edwards said he wanted the audience to view Godzilla as a force of nature, so he added a lot of drama elements and all that.

So, okay. The movie felt really short. The fight scene was really limited. Sound direction was superbly dome though. There were also some really cool Easter eggs in the movie, like the butterfly housing that had "Mothra" written on the side.

It's basically Pacific Rim but better. Pacific Rim completely spoiled you with all the kaiju fights and left you with little else to really get out of the film. This movie gives you bits and pieces of kaiju scenes so that when you finally get to see Godzooky fight, it's so fucking satisfying. The ending is so fucking cheesy and I loved it. I also loved the way the movie has been marketed, although it may disappoint people wanting a "Godzilla as an antagonist" film.
If I had to complain about anything it would be that Ken Watanabe doesn't really get to do anything in the film. He's just sort of there for the majority of the film.
And for once the 3D was actually pretty good, so I'm not mad about being forced to watch it the film in 3D and pay the extra $$$

The movie takes its sweet time introducing Godzilla, giving us a crazy ass Bryan Cranston that felt a bit underwhelming IMO considering he dies right before the first half of the movie ends. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is great but everyone else felt bland IMO, specially Ken Watanabe who looks like he's spacing out half of the time in the movie. Then they cut away 2 Godzilla fights right before they start, like, what the fuck
And then during the second half the movie decides to get interesting and get to the fight sequences, with Godzilla fucking up the MUTOs like a badass.
Cue cheesy ending.
All around great movie. We finally get a good Godzilla movie, not that it's a spectacular movie or anything. Didn't care for almost any of the characters. It was just fun and awe inducing.

It was a great movie, it could have been far better, but it wasnt robocop at all. at one point they even have the villain demand to have robocop grey panels removed and replaced with black because "the audience doesnt know what it wants until you do it"
Seriously slap another name on the main character, tune up some bits and its a great movie about robot implants.
The ending is completely anti climatic.

Godzilla (2014)

It felt pretty slow with the buildup at the start, seeing that they're focusing a bit more on the humans than the monsters (Which I actually didn't mind, considering the original did this along with the last Godzilla film: Final Wars.. I think. It's a pretty decent "human" story as well). When they did show the monsters however, it's exciting when they fight.. yet at the start, it just feels like you're "cheaped out", considering that they cut to another scene every time a fight starts (besides the final fight, of course).
I love how they build up to show Godzilla and his famous roar.. and that Final blow.. Holy Crap, I heard applauses everywhere when that showed (That tail smack hurts a lot, though). Ending is admittingly cheesy, but I don't mind it; I smiled during the ending anyway.
Though, was disappointed when they use less of Bryan Cranston, but I kind of didn't mind when they continue on the film without him.
Overall it's pretty good. Feels a bit like a Godzilla film, but I'd recommend giving it a watch.

So it turns out that despite having an absolute murderer's row of superb acting talent in the cast, and also the guy who played Kick-Ass, the human characters were... I dunno, pretty meh. Nobody but Cranston really got anything they could sink their teeth into, and the lead is just so boring and bland and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is not a good enough actor to save the role (he'd do much better if the character was better written, though, he just isn't good enough to elevate it all)
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
and then Cranston dies so soon into the movie! That's not cool, movie! Why couldn't we get Cranston agnrily yelling at MUTO and/or Godzilla? It would've been great, and he's got a much more interesting character arc than "*stoic grimace* I gotta get back to my wife and son"
I mean seriously like almost every other character in the movie has a more interesting story; Watanabe and Hawkins are kaiju archeologists and members of some secret giant monster organization, that's super neat, why wasn't that explored? And why did he think Godzilla is their one last hope against MUTO? David Strathairn is leading the charge against humanity's extinction and decides to let the kooky scientists have their say and let Godzilla fight MUTO, what was he thinking about all this? We don't get to find out, and it's pretty weird that there's so much time spent on these characters but we learn next to nothing about them. And poor Elizabeth Olsen doesn't get anything to do besides look scared and sad, but by god, she sells the shit out of it anyways. Which is how it goes for all of the human stuff, everyone sells it, and it works, but it all feels kinda empty and I know they could've done much better.
Still all in all a good movie, worth seeing, nice revival of Godzilla, etc.
Also, Ken Watanabe's female assistant acts in a horribly exaggerated manner. I'm not kidding when I say this, with every scene she's shown, I cringe.
Man, what are you talking about, don't badmouth Sally Hawkins, she's great! >:[
I mean, yeah, as The Dissolve critic Tasha Robinson said (http://thedissolve.com/reviews/791-godzilla/#comment-1382871102), her character could've easily been replaced by "mop with a series of signs hanging from it", but she's fine as that super undeveloped character.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is great but everyone else felt bland IMO, specially Ken Watanabe who looks like he's spacing out half of the time in the movie. Then they cut away 2 Godzilla fights right before they start, like, what the fuck
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Man what, it's the complete opposite! Taylor-Johnson is the blandest character in the whole movie!
Also I liked that they kept holding off on the Godzilla action, framing it all from a limited, on the ground, human perspective. You're not able to take in the first two fights because they're so out of our experience, so utterly massive and beyond our depths that we can only get the briefest of glimpses. And that all works great to build up to the last fight, where our view is finally expanded to cover the massive scale those fights demand, and make that last confrontation so sublimely satisfying by teasing us for the whole movie until finally letting lose with what we all were wating for.
Because seriously that atomic breath into mommy MUTO's mouth, goddamn.

I don't even know what you're trying to imply but the comparison is pretty dumb anyways. The film's presentation and direction is way too different from Pacific Rim's. One's more action oriented and over the top, plain and simple. The other one tries a more "realistic" approach, the overall direction tries to make the movie feel like a documentary and a disaster movie and then there's the whole drama with the main character, and that's why it mostly follows the action from an outsider angle, that also explains most of the "teasing" (Said teasing made the payoff at the end of the film feel better than it really was).
It's uneducated to call it "better" (Which still isn't). It was enjoyable, it had good moments, it's not a bad film at all but it also has its share of flaws. Pacific Rim isn't flawless either but it pretty much delivered on what it promised, that's why overall it feels like a more satisfying film (Not a "better" one, again comparing both films because they both share giant monsters just makes you come out as an ignorant person)
Edit:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
And to elaborate some more on Godzilla . I thought the movie overall did a good job with its different direction. But these are the things I would change to overall give it a better presentation:
1. Give us a Hawaii fight. It doesn't need to be a huge Michel Bay style battle. Even if it's just a few minutes it will give us a nice preview of what's to come.
2. Rework the bomb subplot. It was an interesting sub plot and allowed for the excuse for a human to destroy the nest and to give us an excellent human level view of Godzilla's awesome roar, but it could have been told better. Filling in a few plot holes would have done the trick. Like maybe they find a still working pick up truck and drive the bomb to the dock in the short amount of time they had. Also have the boat be faster. It looked like it was just chugging along and wouldn't get far enough away from the city.
3. Have Cranston live longer in the film. He can still die, but he died too early in the film after all that build-up. You could have made his death a little more shocking. Like just as it seems he'll live through out the movie, he suddenly get crushed/eaten by one of the MUTOs.

I didn't like the fact that they kept cutting Godzilla's fight scenes, like you said the Hawaii airport fight scene or whatever would have been amazing even if just for a few minutes. Jmorphman and others may say that it made for a nice build up but it didn't really feel like that to me, I felt cheated, they cut away twice, it's like they were trolling the audience. :(

Edge of Tomorrow: Preeetty different from the novel, a couple of changes that actually irked me a little but I guess they're understandable since a straight adaptation would be boring, a couple of things dragged down the pace a little bit, the cheesy Hollywood ending was to be expected too. I'm still not a big fan of how they changed the power armor, tons of headache inducing shaky-cam too, it had a couple of nicely executed stuff but overall the movie was a bit lackluster, not bad but not amazingly good either, just "okay".

and i'm gonna be honest, that scene where marlon is directed to say 'and the last thing i would ever do is lie to you' as a complete lie to his fake 'best friend' was probably one of the hardest things to watch in a movie, the fact that things like confiding in his 'best friend' marlon and his dad coming back are just complete bullshit and are not actually good things at all are fucking brutal and horrifying

X-Men: Days of Future Past
Wow. That was great. I was very pleasantly surprised by this. This is easily the best X-Men movie since X2, and I can't decide whether it or X2 are better overall. This is like a frigging panacea on the entire franchise for me, First Class was nice and all but this was just something else. The cast is all great, and they quickly allayed my fears about a Last Stand style bloated cast of undeveloped characters by focusing only on a few, and letting the rest cast have their moments and make you feel like heir stories matter, but they never let them dominate the actual story or the main characters. And the action is superb, really stunning sequences. Whedon's got his work cut out for him for his version of Quicksilver, lemme just say that.
It really embraced the fact that it was a comic book movie, it wasn't ashamed of it at all, throwing out giant killer robots and time travel and alternate time travel like nothing, and it was confident enough in the audience's intelligence to trust them with figuring out the plot mechanics without pausing to explain each and every little thing. There's too many superhero movies out that seem embarrassed by the fact that they're making movies about people with powers wearing spandex (sup DC?), and have to cloak it in long, tedious explanations and justifications for why someone dressed up as a Dracula or wears an S on their chest, and this is a textbook example of why that's a load of bunk.
All in all, great movie, would watch again.
Spoiler: ending spoilers(click to see content)
the ending, with Wolverine waking up in the changed future, just had me literally beaming. These characters, or rather these versions of these characters, have existed for over a decade, longer than any other super hero franchise. It made me so happy to see them get the happy ending they all deserved, even Scott and Jean. And it is their happy ending, because they're not gonna do anymore with the old cast (besides Hugh Jackman, of course). This was their final goodbye, and it was great.
but seriously though, goddamn the future kills were fucking brutal, and they managed to do most of them twice!
However I really thought the post-credits teaser was pretty boring, and its not helped by the fact that it's Apocalypse, one of the least interesting X-Men villains ever. Like seriously can we just redo Dark Phoenix or maybe Proteus? Yeah, Proteus sounds great, do that, next movie.

X-Men: Days of Future Past
Basically everything Jmorphman said. I also liked this take on Quicksilver he was hilarious. And I also liked the fact that the movie wasn't so much about Wolverine as most people were worried, I felt it was more about Raven and Xavier more than anything else, mainly because Raven (and Trask I guess) are the main driving characters in the story. 10/10
SPOILER TIME

- OK so there's this scene at the end where Logan was drowning and Raven disguised as Stryker picks him up and says she'll take care of him. I didn't quite get if she was gonna do something bad to him or good? It sounded like history was gonna repeat itself with the whole adamantium experiment, not to mention the way he was lying down on that metal thing had lots of foreshadowing.
- Why didn't Logan remember anything since the 1970s? Why did he get amnesia? Wasn't his future self in the past now? Wasn't he supposed to keep living his life normally up until 2023 (the year of the dark future)?
- I thought they weren't gonna allude to the fact that Quicksilver was Magneto's son in the movie but THAT NOD!!! :D

X-Men: Days of Future Past
That movie left me breathless throughout. Incredibly well-paced, beautiful action, amazing character moments for EVERYONE, and an overwhelming sense of excitement towards the future of the franchise. This movie has good acting, amazeballs special effects and way more spunk than any super hero movie ever made. It is now my personal favorite along with Cap 2: Winter Soldier...The Avengers, Superman and Batman can take a seat and wait for their next good number to come up, and then we'll talk.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Oh, and I gotta strongly disagree with you Jmorphman about Apocalypse being the least interesting. Many reasons why:
- He's one of the first and oldest mutants. - He tortured and scarred many for life including Angel. - The dude's got so many mutant abilities, knows too damn much and is leaps and bounds ahead of his time. - The X-Men have failed to kill him entirely, so it appears he is immortal and keeps coming back stronger every time.
How is that not an interesting enough villain? Maybe you haven't read his antics enough, but still, I respect your choices.
A well done Dark Phoenix flick would be awesome...maybe after the Apocalypse one.
@GOH
I was also a bit thrown off by the whole Mystique impersonating Stryker and being part of rescuing a drowned Logan bit...I did not see the real purpose of her placement there unless she was trying to get him away from the wrong hands or at least until that time actually came for him to be infused with the adamantium...OR, maybe they are hinting that Mystique indeed was the responsible one for creating Weapon X while posing as Stryker!!! Could you imagine??!! It was interesting but confusing to see all at once, specially since now the future holds Wolverine and the X-Men happy, away from persecution and with Mystique nowhere around to be seen. ...Maybe the next movie will explain this in better detail.
Logan's mindset is eventually transported back to the future (see what I did there?), the happy future, when everything is salvaged and prevented in the 70's and the body and mind being rescued in the 70's is once again his past self from that time.

I watched Godzilla last Monday and have been trying to decide if I like it or not. I think in retrospect I like it a bit more than I did while enduring it. It's a really great movie with massive flaws. Godzilla was done well though. I hope we get more of him in the next movie. The pros of the movie Excellent sound, direction, sense of size. Plot was pretty good, the actors did the best with what they had. I loved Bryan Cranston's character and the emotion he brought. The start of the movie was absolutely beautiful. Godzilla was amazing. The ending was epic!
Cons will be more spoiler laden
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Bryan Cranston dying early on was a travesty for this movie as his son was just too much of a blank slate to get behind emotionally
The biggest con though is the way they teased and cut away every time they established something awesome was going to happen. During 2 separate times they cut away from Godzilla and his fights to show people. I was literally cussing. I was furious by the time the movie was winding down. The anticipation they built got on such a scale that even the awesome ending couldn't overcome the let downs I had felt. It was simply unacceptable to completely cut away from what I came to see. I understand the concept of teasing and building hype/suspense. But that wasn't what this did. It literally made me start hating the movie.
I don't understand why Godzilla is a super hero in this movie. Don't get me wrong; yes I prefer tweener Godzilla from 1985 onward, but I grew up with super hero Godzilla and i can respect this. It just doesn't make any sense. He um "balances the world"? For no reason other than because he can be the only giant monster? Is this Highlander? They said he was an alpha predator and that made sense. But he didn't eat them. He just killed them because. He didn't even drag one back to the ocean so you could think "Maybe he's going to eat that one!"
That aside I do recommend seeing this movie. I want to see it again. With a fast forward button.

About Godzilla I have to agree ENTIRELY with you JNP!
The movie is not bad, but it did hold all the flaws just the way you detailed them and that made it sort of ruin the experience for me and just consider this movie for what it is...a good starting point to hopefully better movies....but don't go into a Godzilla forum saying that or they will devour you! LOL
I for one think that the tone was set waaaayyyy too serious and ALL of that asian quirkiness that the classics have always portrayed was completely wiped out, obliterated, gone...not a single good pun was found in the movie to at least sympathize with the fan crowd. It almost felt drone like.
Also, if I pay to see a movie with a massive giant lizard on it fighting other monstrosities and saving the planet, then I damn right want to see it on the big screen every time it happens in the movie and not from a boy's perspective while he watches it on the news on TV. That totally sucked.

@GOH
Oh yeah...Don't you know that is how time traveling works? LOL The future was changed and everything along with it while he was unconcious in 1973, so yeah. HUGE JUMP for Logan...He gets to put it on his resume. :P
...also bro, I just realized there is more to Mystique being there to rescue Logan than meets the eye...
**** SERIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD PEOPLE!!! ****
- Remember that in the comics she is a servant of Apocalypse more than she is to Magneto, and who appears at the end bit? Gotcha! - Also, with Stryker out of the picture the events in X2 and X3 will no longer transpire for the most part...Jean doesn't drown saving the team and as a result of this she won't become Dark Phoenix and kill Scott and all those poor other people!!!

I kinda like X2 better because there was more stuff about the whole metaphor of mutants that Days of Future Past had to (sensibly, because there was lots of plot to get through) skip over. I can't not love the whole "have you tried not being a mutant?" thing to pieces, it's so personal and shit for me, y'know? But it sure is close!
- OK so there's this scene at the end where Logan was drowning and Raven disguised as Stryker picks him up and says she'll take care of him. I didn't quite get if she was gonna do something bad to him or good? It sounded like history was gonna repeat itself with the whole adamantium experiment, not to mention the way he was lying down on that metal thing had lots of foreshadowing.

- Mystique's whole arc in the movie was her moving away from vengeance, murder, and well, evil stuff. So I don't think she would do everything Stryker did in the old timeline. We don't even know if she's gonna let him go or recruit him or what. I heard some people speculate that Apocalypse could be the one who gives Wolverine the adamantium in the next movie, because that's how he got it back in the comics after Magneto ripped it out. But yeah Stryker is probably still alive (the big moment of the movie is Mystique deciding not to kill Trask, it wouldn't make sense for her to turn around and then kill Stryker) so she probably can't keep up the charade for long, but I guess we'll find out in the next one.
- They explained the way time travel worked in the movie, you should've paid more attention! They said that after Kitty Pryde woke you up, the changes made to the time stream would take affect, and the future would be changed. So when future Wolverine wakes up, he's in the mansion in the new future, right? But they also said you'd keep your memories of the old timeline, so when Wolverine woke up on the day that corresponded to the day that Kitty Pryde sent him back in time in the old timeline, his new timeline mind was replaced by the old timeline version, which had just returned from their shared past. Thus, Wolverine has memories of the old timeline. Essentially the new timeline's Wolverine was murdered! But I think Professor X prepared for it and made a backup of his new memories or something crazy like that, he's a super-telepath I think it could happen!
Oh, and I gotta strongly disagree with you Jmorphman about Apocalypse being the least interesting. Many reasons why:
- He's one of the first and oldest mutants. - He tortured and scarred many for life including Angel. - The dude's got so many mutant abilities, knows too damn much and is leaps and bounds ahead of his time. - The X-Men have failed to kill him entirely, so it appears he is immortal and keeps coming back stronger every time.

I don't understand how the time travel works in the terms of Kitty's powers, though. I realize it's Days of Future Past and Kitty's important to that story and this was the only way she could be important without traveling back to a time where she wasn't born yet, but I feel like it would have made more sense for it to be Professor X or some other teenage telepath that could basically be Rachel Summers without being Rachel Summers.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
Went into it expecting some noise to have in the background whilst I did other things. Wound up with a stupid but wildly entertaining action flick that doesn't take itself seriously in the slightest, in a good way. CGI's a smidge goofy but the practical effects are solid, with the goofy CGI lending itself to the tone of ridiculousness the movie has. If you're in a movie mood but aren't looking to scratch one off your list of must-see's, this one is perfectly serviceable fare that at the very least won't leave you feeling like you wasted your time.

Great movie. i didnt think it was going to be that good. The special FX and sounds with the Dark future battles was hot. Mind you i wasnt a huge fan of the past Xmen movies. I liked First Class and this new one the most. The setinel designs at first i wasnt too crazy about but when i saw how they were kicking so much ass and how they were violating the mutants that totally changed my tune man. The action was crazy. well done. I really hope Cable gets some shine in one of the later movies
The Quick silver scenes was the funniest shit in the movie lol. The hint hint line on who his father is (lol) was even funnier. Great job with that character! Ending was very cool and make sure you stay for the easter egg after all of the credits :devilish:

Someone get me a Slowpoke avatar because I finally saw
Godzilla (2014)
Come on, it's a Godzilla movie made after the original. You know the drill.
I know I'm probably in the minority, but I actually liked that the humans had more of an emphasis than the monsters. Godzilla and the Mutos (which would be an excellent name for a rock band) became more of a theming element to make you want Lt.Brody to reunite with his family.
On the other hand, now that the emphasis is on the people, I felt some of the messages were shoehorned in awkwardly (ie: Hiroshima pocket watch), and there doesn't really seem to be a bit of a moral conflict when dealing with NUKES THAT CAN KILL EVERYBODY.
The Godzilla VS MUTO fight, however, was sex, and if you need a reason to see the movie, this is it right here.
So yeah, it was a good movie, but it's not really spectacular save for the aforementioned Godzilla VS MUTO fight.
7.5/10
EDIT: Oh yeah, some stuff I want to mention
Spoiler: Stuff about Hawaii in this movie(click to see content)
Hawaii International Airport does NOT have that cool monorail system circling around the airport, nor does it look that technically built up and amazing. It is a shitty old building and the closest thing we have to a monorail system is a fucking bus called the Wiki Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Wiki_Shuttle), and yes, it's the same "Wiki" that they use in Wikipedia.
The ABC Store that gets a cameo is a real chain that exists that is fucking everywhere down here (http://www.abcstores.com/). Think of it as Starbucks, but instead of coffee, you get touristy convenience wares and cheap porn.
Also no offense to the deceased, and I guess I'm glad that his family is still being supported, but I'm getting really tired of hearing one of Israel Kamakwiwoʻole (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Kamakawiwo%CA%BBole)'s songs every time a movie has a scene in Hawaii. I guess I'm kinda jaded because a lot of local performers claim to be related to him somehow (including two of my uncles, lol), but there are tons of other musicians here that are much more... iconic, should I say, of Hawaii. Hell, at this point I'm sure Elvis music would be less of a cliche than Iz.

You didn't miss a lot in that post-credits scene. It's not terrible or anything, but it's not like it's required viewing or anything. Edge of Tomorrow
Wow, very pleasantly surprised by this because I was not really feeling this based on the trailers. The movie really shines in the character stuff, and Cruise's character's arc is pretty damn great. And Emily Blunt in this movie is just, goddamn. Kicking ass all over the place!
Action is pretty decent but doesn't really break out of the recent trend of mostly semi-incoherent action sequences that don't have a well-developed sense of space and abuse shakycam. But it's by no means horrible or anything, it's just very middle of the road. I think it would be much cooler if the movie started with the shakycam stuff, but as Cruise's character got more and more experienced, the cuts would become less frequent and the shakycam stuff drastically reduced.
I have a few questions for people who've read the novel and a few other musings:
Spoiler: for the movie and the novel(click to see content)
So, I haven't read it, but I've heard that the main character in the novel starts off as a soldier and doesn't really go through the same arc as Cruise does (cowardly and terrible at fighting to badass), instead he basically just gets better at the thing he already does. Is this true, and is the movie's version better? Because it sounds better. But again haven't read.
What were some of the other changes? Were they effective or did they totally destroy the book? Isn't Emily Blunt's character so rad? And those smash cuts to Cruise asleep in cuffs whenever he died was pretty great too, what a great way to use the unique tools of cinema to handle the time loops. And man, I just couldn't get enough of Cruise constantly failing at being the action movie hero he always plays for most of the movie. (until he got it right the next time, of course)
The ending is pretty weird, right? I think I heard rumors of it going through a lot of studio notes, and it's the weakest part of the movie (and it doesn't really make any amount of sense). But that smirk at the end, that was pretty great, I guess.

Infamous rep about Corman being told to produce a movie on a low budget so the film rights holders could hold on to said rights with them never intending to release the movie aside....It wasn't that bad.
Yes it's campy, some of the acting is lame (Johnny Storm's actor in particular) and the effects are tacky due to the low budget (though The Thing's costume is good stuff), but hell, they put more effort into this thing than Fox did with their higher budgeted FF movies.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
In order to celebrate the return of Godzilla, I watched the movie that helped inspired Godzilla in the first place.
To start off, The story is interesting to say the very least. A hibernating dinosaur is released from its frozen state by an an atomic bomb test in the Arctic Circle and begins to wreak havoc in New York City. While their was some parts where it dragged, it does have a quick pace and your so invested in the story that you don't even care for those drags.
While the story is good enough to keep you interested, The special effects are where the movie really shines. The Stop Motion used for the Rhedosaurus and the scenes of it's attacks are a delight to watch, but the stop motion was done by Ray Harryhausen, so of course they will be good.
Overall, I would give the The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms a 9 out of 10.
I would give it a full 10, but their are some parts that drag and I can't help but chuckle at some of the more silly things like "Operation Experiment." Also the poster for the movie lied in showing the Rhedosaurus being able to breath fire. Yes that last part is nitpicky, however it did inspire Godzilla's fire breath so I can let that slide.

300: Rise of an Empire
I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't to long for the straightforward plotting of 300. The whole thing's just a mess. What's the point of Xerxes in this movie? Why is Peter Mensah portrayed as Doctore yet somehow still playing a character who is most famous for getting kicked down a well? Why is Sullivan Stapleton playing a character with even less depth than the one he plays on Strike Back?
I give it an I'll never get this time back / my life.

The Shinning Everything people says about this movie is wrong, the movie is even better. A couple of weeks ago I read a post in a blog where they explain the converging lines used in almost every scene here, so, I had to rewatch it to note that new detail I'm aware of. I won't go again on how awesome Nicholson is here, but noted that he reused a lot of his "sane" Torrance manerism when doing the Napier part or his Joker, having watched the first Burton's Batman not too long ago it was more evident to me. If I have to point something that could be improved in this incredible movie is the wife's performance in her first few scenes, she is most believable when she is scared than when she's calm, not something that actually bothers, but could be better.

XMEN DOFP
Jeeeez why did I take so long to watch this? DAMN it's a great movie. Even better than Avengers because it's not overhyped based on a crossover of lovable/popular characters. This is actually well scripted, and sets up a damn good universe by itself.

great movie loved it, the hair motions made me laugh a ton, found the ending to be adorable
epic what a fucking bad movie name! the original title was way better "the leafmen and the secret kingdom" it was pretty decent
Ranma 1/2 somehow they replaced the fox men with dragqueens dressed as hardgays, awkward as fuck.
Dofp Magneto stole every scene he was in, but in comparison the other actors werent as good as him and jackman Future crossover scenes where they kept bringing characters from other movies were very nostalgic, they even had x3 beast. 4 dead storms out of ten

That Fassbender guy was just acting with his eyes all the goddamn time. He barely had to say any words, and you already knew he was up to something, or thinking some life-transcending shit. He was great.
Also, the special effects and action scenes were very much of my enjoyment, specially the ones in future where they blew up their entire SFX budget.

I don't disagree at all. I loved it! Not really sure why you're getting all defensive.
and hey now, Avengers isn't doing too shabby on the great actors front! Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johannson, Robert Downey Jr, and Mark Ruffalo are givens, but Tom Hiddleston is clearly going places and Chrises Evans and Hemsworth both knock their roles out of the park.
Are you seriously saying that Avengers was, by any means, a smartly written movie?
Yes? That's like the main thing it gets praised for? It's Whedon, after all. DoFP's script was honestly the weakest part, not that it was bad. It's pretty good, it's just the acting, direction, etc. was all better.
but Avengers is the better movie, because it not only had a harder task (combining 4 franchise characters and 2 side characters into a team and giving them all their own story and arcs, and providing the greatest "ripped from the comics" sensation with that last battle) but its highs were higher and its lows were not as bad. But they're both freaking great.

'twas was dissapointing as shit. I expected a mediocre film with a lot of orgasmic giant monster fights (pretty much Pacific Rim minus them robots). What I got was a mediocre film with hardly any monster vs monster scenes. This movie is fucking evil; it teases you with The King of Monsters' majestic entrance and then skips 'till the city is destroyed and Godzilla is back in the water.
This movie is a tediously long and dull, and the last fifteen minutes, while great, don't save it.

Well they had already established that her blood has curative and perhaps minor shape-shifting properties, so expanding that to "with blood and spinal fluid eventually her powers could be replicated in the far future" seemed pretty fair to me.
Apparently Rogue's powers were going to be what powered the future Sentinels in an early version of the script, but Mystique works just as well, I think. Robot gets blasted with ice, and transforms into fire as a response is nothing out of the ordinary for robots with the ability to shape-shift.

Godzilla 2014 it was good for me, I like it how they didn't show the monster until halfway the movie, otherwise it would be just another godzilla movie, but this one showed a decent first movie of the trilogy now planned, it made sense with enough background story for the character, and the monsters when they are finally revealed didn't disappoint. godzilla design was unmistakably godzilla, unlike the 1998 egglaying rexzilla bitch that atomic warhead part of the story was a little stupid though.

When it starts, it's almost insufferable. Then he becomes a Vampire, and it's actually a pretty damn good movie, with lots of action. If you're a fan of the genre, you should watch this.

The Notebook
A young man and woman have a chance meeting in the summer and fall in love, but their living circumstances continuously force them apart. The man's from society's lower levels and works at a lumberyard, while the woman's parents are very, very wealthy and distinguished. Will either of them find true happiness and love?
I watched this movie expecting a groan-worthy, forgettable chick flick. I was not expecting how the whole thing was framed, and to be fair, that's what saves this movie from being boring. You see, all the story that we're seeing is actually being read by an old man nicknamed "Duke" to an old woman, who he sees every day at a nursing home. To say more than that would probably go into spoiler territory, but it is pulled off VERY well. For these segments, you really feel like there's a lot at stake, and you could probably just make a movie about this on its own and it would be great.
That's why it's really sad that the story that Duke is reading is... pretty boring, honestly. It's got all the tropes regarding "romance despite class boundaries," "people torn between what they want to do versus what is expected of them," "kissing in the rain," etc etc. You know that your story is lackluster when you're watching a sex scene and in your mind, all you want is to go back to the elderly folk talking about life.
I'm really conflicted on what to grade this, so to be safe, I guess I'll go with:

Watched a few things with my family recently, for various reasons.
Frozen
A bit late to watch this, but I still have to apparently see Princess and the Frog so guess I'm not that far behind this time. It was ok. Not best animated picture of the year good, but still ok. I think this might be the most musical Disney film I've seen though, every other piece of dialogue is sung if not a full out song it feels like. Speaking of which, I see why people were going on last year about "That Frozen song". Whoever it was that voiced Anna and Elsa were great singers.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Was also misled being told that Elsa gives her life to save Anna from dying. Not exactly accurate there...so a bit of a different ending than I was expecting. Still, the whole "true love found in family, not something you seek in strangers" bit to save the kingdom was nice though.
7.5/10
Godzilla (2014)
I haven't seen a previous Godzilla movie in years, so my expectations on how it should go is pretty much "Godzilla's the good guy, people have mixed feelings on if he's good or bad, he's like a big green Batman with lethal breath". They seemed to get that down right. I enjoyed it overall. The repeated cut-aways when each fight started was a bit disappointing, but the grand finale at the end was worth the wait. Especially when you can hear members of the audience whisper to each other if he's going to use his atomic breath in excitement.
One story related bit that bugged me a lot, unless I missed something, misunderstood or was purposely left unexplained for reasons...
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Apparently, the creation of and ALL atomic bomb testings in history by the U.S. were used to subdue previous encounters with Godzilla, and was all kept away from public notice completely all this time. How the hell did nobody notice a giant green dinosaur walking across the U.S. to some of the atomic bomb "testing sites"?
Also, since they never named the kaiju Godzilla fought (Nor call it a kaiju, they used some other term I'm not recalling...), just cameoed the name "Mothra" in the foreground in one early scene, I'm left to presume he fought two Mothras. If so, that's the most creative giant moth I've ever seen. It looked more like a pterodactyl crossbred with a bat.
So some shortcomings, it too was still rather enjoyable. 8/10

Sequels are crap. If you are loved the movie check out the recent TV Series, which was created, scripted & directed by Robert Rodriguez. First season have 10 episodes and show was renewed for next one. Whole story is pretty much the same as in the movie (except the ending obviously) but very much expanded in characters (Carlos :D), plot department & mythology. It's seriously one of the best shows this year. Eiza Gonzales is outstanding as Santanico and she is awesome as Salma Hayek was in the movie. Warning though, show is bit slow but it's getting soo much better around 7 episode when Seth & Riche arrive in Tittie Twister and shit hits the fan like in the movie :D

I really don't understand why action movie directors are so afraid to make cuts for time these days, but I think if they rediscover that skill you'd see less of these movies flop so bad.

Shining point of the movie really was Optimus being in disguise by transforming into his G1 form, though. But that was shown all over the trailers anyways.

old boy: a spike lee joint
i laughed throughout the whole thing, the whole thing
don't know if that was the point cuz i only laughed at certain points in the glorious original, but this one, man; it played out like a spike lee movie tho, that's for true
shame
young erik magnus fassbender is a sex addict who will do anything or anyone (male or female, get it, that's why i put one [tho he identifies as straight obviously and that was probably a one time thing, dk;dc]) to get off, has viruses on his work pc from all the porn on his hd, the inability to get it up when real romance comes along, and a suicidal sister who his boss is fucking
holy shit, but yea I saw this one way back and forgot to review it, really good, really real, really uncomfortable because it's so fucking real and is handled in such a way that even magneto can come across as a really fucking creepy creep
i recommend both of these

Each month me and a bunch of guys from work are going out to eat then catching a movie. 1st it was Winter Soldier, then Godzilla. Our latest was Edge of Tomorrow. I was hoping for X-Men but I had chosen Godzilla so it wasn't my pick this time.
However, it's not like I didn't want to see this movie. I always love this formula for story telling! Groundhog day was one of my most favorite movies and this one used the repeating the day thing VERY well! Obvious plot holes aside it was a really really nice movie. I realized how much I actually enjoyed the movie when at the end

he finally lost the ability. I was really bummed out over that. The last part of the movie was no where near as fun but I knew it had to happen for drama. Not like it was bad after the fact, I was just having a lot of fun watching him with the ability.
The only thing that really screamed out as off to me (yes, more than the reset ending) was when the alpha jumped into the water to get Tom. That alpha was really stupid. As soon as Tom jumped in the water it should have killed itself to reset the day!
This month we'll be watching Transformers Age of Extinction. I was somewhat looking forward to this movie because the commercials made it look like it wouldn't be as stupid as the last 2. Thanks to reading the reviews here though I know I won't be enjoying it much. Maybe my lower expectations will make it tolerable? I can only hope!

I just rewatched Edge of Tomorrow and X-Men Days of Future Past, and rewatching the former made me appreciate it a lot more (even though I really liked it the first time). It's really well put together, greatly paced, with no fat. It feels really tight, and that's a welcome relief in the age of 2 hour plus blockbusters. And the character work is so, so great.
I was pretty harsh on the action last time but now I'm just wondering what the heck I was thinking; the action is shot really well. I mean, not as great as Cap 2 or anything, but it's loads better than most blockbusters. Go see this movie, it's really fun, and should've done better at the box office!
X-Men though, just made me realize that they had a perfect opportunity to use Trask to deliver the whole X-Men message about civil/LGBT rights stuff that was otherwise left ignored (which is not entirely terrible, since the movie is so stuffed, but I think there should've been something). Instead Trask seems motivated solely by a Watchmen type deal where he'll use the threat of mutants to unite the world type deal, which is... not that interesting, and didn't really go anywhere. The movie could've been exactly the same if he was motivated by fear and hatred towards mutants, and would've served the themes of the movie better, I think.
The only thing that really screamed out as off to me (yes, more than the reset ending) was when the alpha jumped into the water to get Tom. That alpha was really stupid. As soon as Tom jumped in the water it should have killed itself to reset the day!

Huh, didn't even think of that, both of the times I've seen it! I just figure the Alpha didn't realize he had a bunch of grenades until it was too late. the final jump is what bothers me, because it doesn't really work with what has previously been established. A line by crazy mustache scientist guy would've definitely helped

Whether it knew he had grenades or not you'd think if anything even got that close to their brain thingy that the Alpha would kill itself to reset the day. The reset is the biggest "UH, what?!" in the movie. But I can give happy ending credits and "I have never had day reset abilities" to help me accept the reset.

Post by: Jango Hakamichi on July 06, 2014, 09:51:51 am
I'm too lazy to link to every single review, but as you may know, I was on a mission to watch every single Wes Anderson movie in existence, a mission I dubbed "Quest Anderson." Today, my quest is complete.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Steve Zissou, a famous sea-life documentary filmmaker has been on a recent downward spiral in terms of popularity. Compounding on this, his best friend, Esteban, has been eaten by a creature he has dubbed the "Jaguar Shark." For his next documentary, Steve is on a mission to hunt down and kill the shark. Tagging along on his mission are his crew, his interns, a reporter, a "bond company stooge," and a mysterious man named "Ned" who claims to be Zissou's son.
This movie has a history of being the weakest of Wes Anderson's movies, and to that extent, I can see why people would feel that way. While the plot is definitely focused, it does feel like there are a lot of side tangents that just kind of get brushed off to the side or wrapped up too conveniently, and some of the visuals are just very roughly put together (more on this later). There's also a lot of weird camera angles and lighting decisions that threw me off (ie: one scene has Zissou talking to Jane, and the sun's position turns her face to silhouette, which looks terrible) And of course, if you're not a fan of Wes Anderson's deadpan comedy style, you're probably not going to see a reason to change your mind.
However, I walked away from this movie pleasantly surprised. Almost every character brings something to the table in terms of adding to the personality of Team Zissou, so I felt like I cared about pretty much everyone in the movie (surprisingly, not so much for the script girl, who really didn't contribute much outside of being topless half of the time for no reason whatsoever). It also had a nice blend of action and sentimentality, and showing how an individual's ideal of what he wants life to be seldom works out, and yet how one can feel genuine happiness even so.
Now for the visuals, which I want to discuss in more detail. Instead of using CG as one would expect, almost every time an aquatic or non-mammal animal is on screen, Wes Anderson decided to hire Henry Selick to do stop motion for them (if that name doesn't ring a bell, maybe you're at least familiar with some (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas) of (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_and_the_Giant_Peach_(film)) his (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeybone) movies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraline_(film))). When I first saw the effect, it looked really jarring next to the life action footage. However, as the movie progressed, the style started becoming more and more naturalized, especially as Team Zissou's underwater expeditions became more and more fantastic. In a way, it was like the movie was transitioning from reality to fantasy. So while it takes a little getting used to, after a while, it becomes beautiful to watch.
8/10 With that done, I guess it would be appropriate for me to give my personal rankings for the movies. Keep in mind that my scoring is relevant to the time I talked about a movie, so if I place it lower than something I scored less, it's because as time went on, my opinion changed on the movie. Additionally, I just want to add that this is really hard to do, and it's like choosing which of my children to rescue out of a burning building.
8. Moonrise Kingdom 7. Bottle Rocket 6. Rushmore 5. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 4. The Grand Budapest Hotel 3. The Darjeeling Limited 2. Fantastic Mr. Fox 1. The Royal Tenenbaums

Bio Hunter. It's basically the story of two guys who chase a virus known as "the demon virus", their goal is to create a cure to fight back and save humanity.
Very well animated as expected from Madhouse, but the rest sucks. This proofs that, sometimes, old works don't deserve to be called classics.

My first non-Wes Anderson movie in a while.
Like Someone in Love
Akiko is a college student and part-time Enjo Kosai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enjo_k%C5%8Dsai) worker. She has a fiancee, Noriaki, who's been calling her and demanding to know where she is, but before she can address him, her boss has arranged for her to see a client, Takashi, as a personal favor.
I really wanted to love this movie. The plotting was good, the chemistry between Akiko and Takashi was believable, and the few characters that were introduced were compelling and offered a lot to the storyline.
But goddamn the ending is so abrupt and leaves so many things hanging, I can't bring myself to say that it's a good movie or... even a movie at all. As it is, this feels like an experimental short film that ran on for almost 2 hours. Seriously, just go on Youtube and watch the trailer, you'll know everything that happens in the movie.
DISQUALIFIED/10
Spoiler: The way the movie ends, if even the Youtube trailer leaves you hanging(click to see content)
Akiko and Takashi are holed up in the latter's apartment while Noriaki tries to break in. The attempt stops for a while, Takashi looks outside is window, and gets knocked away by a giant object that Noriaki threw into the window. Credits roll.

I completely forgot to mention that I got around to seeing X-Men: Days of Future Past last week. And holy shit was it amazing. While there were a few things I could nitpick on (I would have liked Trask and his Sentinels to have more of a presence in the past), the film as a whole was awesome and easily sits up there with First Class, X1 and X2. Worth a view if you haven't seen it already. ;D

Bill and Ted Movies: Enjoyed them for what they are, nothing special but I thought they were fun and worth a watch. Really happy movies for me I suppose.
Back to the Future Trilogy: First was good, solid movie and while I find the first to be the best I do think 2 has the better thought out story with the concept of time travel but it was kind of all over the place and left me wanting for more of the future part rather than anything before that since we already saw it. While I know 3's story was bland I prefer it over 2's, more centralized and more interaction with our characters, which I prefer in films like this. Doc getting a happy ending was nice as well.
The Naked Gun Trilogy: Dumb sure but I loved watching these, they're crude but they never feel like they're trying too hard (well maybe one or two exceptions) and they have good energy. Made me feel like I was watching a cartoon now that I remember it. While I find 3 to be boring at the end I think it did a good enough job closing out the series. Shame about that OJ though.

I get the inention: they want to give viewers choice to imagine their own ending, and sometimes it works but most of the time it makes me cringe inside. It's just pure laziness and it's poor excuse for director/writer who have no idea how to end his story.

In the not too distant future, a failed attempt at curbing global warming has caused a new ice age and the Earth to become a cold, lifeless husk. The last remnants of humanity have gathered into a perpetually running train that continuously circles the globe; the survivors are divided into a mercilessly brutal class system, with the elites in the front of the train and the poor in the tail. The inhabitants of the tail section are ruthlessly beaten down, abused, and live in squalor while those in the front live a life of complete luxury, which eventually drives the tail section to a bloody revolt.
Features an amazing cast, led by Chris Evans in hands down his best performance (and like seriously, it's fucking incredible), with Song Kang-ho, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton (oh my god Tilda Swinton in this movie is incredible, she's doing like this crazy Thatcher impression kind of, and it's completely fucking unhinged but still incredible), Octavia Spencer, and Ed Harris!!!!
This movie is fucking incredible. It's the best movie I've seen all year; (or maybe Winter Soldier is, but I might be rating the latter higher because it has superheroes) it really is simply stunning. It's very much an allegory, and it is completely and gloriously unsubtle in its utter brutality towards savaging classism, the 1%, and capitalism. And it is all the better for it.
seriously go see it >:[

Citizen Kane (1941) I understand the fuss about the new cinema effects used in this movie, and the overall very good acting, but this movie bored me. Yeah, that's all there is to say. It's boring Grade : 6/10
Mulholland Drive Starts as a thriller with a girl who's to become a movie actress helping a girl who lost her mind in a car accident. Turns out the last 30 minutes are much deeper than that. This is the first David Lynch movie I watch, and probably not the last. PURE MINDFUCK GENIUS. Well, I had to go read the explanation (more like 20 pages analysis of the movie) on the internet, and it definitely makes sense in a Freudian point of view. A true piece of art Grade : 9/10

Yeah, it's gone through some big drama with the Weinstein Company (which is distributing it here); they were demanding 20 minutes to be cut, and an opening and ending narration added. The director was adamant against it, and it's been playing out for a few months, there was even a screening of a the minus 20 minute cut that went terribly, and they eventually caved in and put out the full version. But only in a limited release at first, cause they're dicks (it has since opened up in more places because it's done pretty well). I'm pretty all of that stuff contributed to it being delayed relative to everyone else. (but I'm not totally sure). Maybe they wanted to wait until Winter Soldier came out to capitalize further on Chris Evans's star power? Who knows, I'm not looking it up! I'm just glad it all worked out and we got the cut of the film that director intended to put out.

Because it's not what the movie is focused on! The movie is about the love story between two people who can only interact through voice; it's not the story about the effects of advanced artificial intelligence on society, and the changes it would bring! Just because you're more interested in that part doesn't mean it's the movie's fault for not exploring that! >:[
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
the movie's focused on Theodore, and as the movie progresses, and Samantha becomes more and more advanced, the less he can understand her situation. Which all leads up to the end, when the AI's ascend, and Theodore (and the rest of humanity, and of course, us) are unable to really grasp what all of that means. Only in very basic, abstract terms can their ascension be parsed, and that's really all that matters. It's symbolism, doofus! >:[

I just saw something that very easily made sense of it. But it's never really bothered me before, it's so minor that the emotional beats of the story overwhelm it. Pretty much like every movie, none of them are free of holes, but the good ones don't let you notice them.

The Mummy (1932):
Boris Karloff plays a darn convincing Imhotep in a 1932 film with special effects that aged way better than the Star Wars prequel ones. The plot is captivating, and the acting top notch. 1 hour and 13 minutes of tension and fun. I like it better than the 1999 one. Thoroughly recommended.

Saw Transformers Age of Extinction And it wasn't that bad. It's by far the best one of the series yet. That's not saying a lot I know. It felt like they stuck 3 movies in one on this movie. I know there was warnings for how long this movie is, but they do not justify it! It's LONGER than that!!! We were there forever! Our turn out to this movie was pretty darn good too! We ended up with 10 people. I swear we're going to get kicked out of the theater some time if we keep this up. I feel sorry for other people because our group can get really rowdy :P

My favorite story in the movie was the human vs autobot story, followed by Galvatron then the alien robot guys story was the least interesting. Which kinda sucked since the final portion spent so much time dedicated to that one. Galvatron and the new upgraded Decepticons are pretty bad. I like the way they transform even if it defeats the purpose of the toyline.
So did I miss something, where did these new autobots come from? How do new autobots appear each movie? And why not just call it Optimus Prime and BumbleBee instead of Transformers? XP
I like that they are finally giving them unique designs and color schemes. For once I could really tell all of them apart while they were fighting. In the older movies they all looked the same.
This week I have to watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes because several guys at work wanted to also see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. So we're going to squeeze an extra movie in for this month. This coming Monday I'll be going to watch it. Not a big fan of Planet of the Apes but I hear these are nothing like the old ones.

The Expendables 3 (never you mind how)
I thought the first was okay, and the second was terrible, but this was surprisingly really fun. I dare say it's the best of the bunch. Everybody got a chance to show off and the plot was coherent (which is more than I can say for some action movies I've seen lately). Really gotta commend Snipes and Banderas, they brought their A-game. Mel was very good as the villain, which is unfortunately a good thing because he's probably going to be playing that role a lot in the future. Few good catchphrase callbacks from Ahnold and Sly. Even Harrison Ford seemed to be having fun, which bodes well for Star Wars VII. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am REALLY hyped for the next one.

Just watched the new Robocop, I get what they was aiming for, the changes are somewhat understandable, it does not get you bored, but feels lacking in everything it tries to do, not bad, but it could be more, and off course it misses the point of the original movie completely. There are good things, it is an overall more-than-decent movie, it is way, way better movie than lots of remakes we've watching recently, the problem is that you can't look at it without comparing it with the masterpiece it is based on.

Fascinating sci-fi concept and world. While im not normally into romance movies too much, this was just a really good movie through and though. A bit slow at points and there is one plot point I found could have been done a bit better, but none of that bothered me too much and I was honestly a bit sad that it ended when it did (even though it was 2 hours long. Huh).

Made perfect sense to me; you have a whole bunch of AI's that are designed to adapt and evolve, talking to hundreds of people simultaneously, and then to other AI's. They keep advancing and advancing exponentially as they talk to eachother, creating a self-perpetuating loop of unfathomable evolution. It's only natural that they would advance so much that they are no longer able to meaningfully interact with humanity or the outside world, and had to draw inward and ascend.

I get all that. Just that it felt like they maybe could have shed a bit more light on how exactly it worked and how it affected all the people and systems the OS' interacted with.
But then again, pretty sure it was left "open" somewhat on purpose and it's overall a really minor gripe. Go see the movie folks!

The Lego Movie
It was good but it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. Not my cup of tea I guess. I liked the ending a lot though. Brings back lots of childhood memories.
This is the End
Insane and hilarious movie that reminded me a bit of when I watched Tropic Thunder in the theater. It's just plain bonkers. Penis overload, lots of drugs, demons and people going insane. Also Backstreet Boys finale dance.

The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper, Dane DeHaan, Ray Liotta, Rose Byrne. All star cast. There's a bit of action, lots of drama, and a fuckton of decadence in the story. I loved it, but it was a bit too long. It's literally 3 movies rolled into 1 that lasts over 140 minutes. Anyway, it reminded me a bit of Darren Aronofsky's more grounded flicks. I really liked it.

Another reason why not to watch that stupid Hercules movie is that although it is based on a comic by Steve Moore, the producers were able to finagle away from actually paying him and proceeded to drop every aspect from said comic (including Herc's male lover), and after Moore died, they had the gall to use his death as a means to promote the movie.

bautista as drax was probably one the greatest things ever ("nothing goes over my head... my reflexes are too fast.") and groot's design was sick. pratt did a good job, really sold his character without dropping into really any cliches. loved the fight sequences, loved the explosions, loved the dialogue and loved the sets. and great choice of old pop hits for starboys cassette player. the prison sequence- gold. groot soloing a bunch of soldiers - gold.
things i didnt love: john c reilly was really out of place. rocket raccoon was cool but i didnt like how they dropped his history in one line as a basic red herring as its never gone into again. the major villain was fucking weak and a letdown, got blasted around bane dark knight style for most of the latter half of the movie. also that after credits scene..., dont do it marvel

Sharknado 2: The Second One
I don't understand how this happened. How this movie could be this good. Of course, I wondered the same with the first one, where somehow -- in its naked attempt at trying desperately to be a "so bad it's good" movie (attempts at which so often fail, and devolve into the movie smugly pointing out how ridiculous it's being) -- it succeeded; its high concept ludicrosity combined with absolutely terrible performances (in both the terrible at trying-to-be-terrible performances and the just plain terrible ones) and its complete and utter glee in being as completely absurd as possible all came together to form a movie that's so terrible/amazing at being terrible/amazing that it warps back into being genuine. Its sequel had to do all of that, with the added burden of having to follow and live up its predecessor, having to reach the same highs as the first movie without merely copying it directly, and having to deal with the consequences of the previous film being a huge phenomenon.
And shockingly, it succeeded. Mostly. The celebrity cameos eventually got tiring and the first act is even more turgid than the first film's, but overall it's an absolute delight.
Spoiler: a movie of this caliber surely deserves spoiler tags for this(click to see content)
I was pretty disappointed that Tara Reid (I don't remember anyone's name besides Fin's, and only his because it gets screamed by every other character so much, and also FIN AS IN SHARK FIN GET IT)'s suggestion that the shark that bit her hand off knew who she was and was possibly seeking revenge or something was not followed up on at all (besides that same shark appearing as a convenient corpse for Fin to pull out from its mouth the severed hand of Tara Reid -- still clutching the gun she was holding when it was bitten off -- which all just felt like an attempt to capture the same magic as the time in the first one where Fin chainsawed his way out of a shark and pulled out the somehow still alive waitress character, who had been eaten like 10 minutes ago in the movie, because the shark that ate Fin and the one that ate the waitress were one in the same, however improbably. And it didn't even come close to that moment!). Like, man, if there was also some Jaws: The Revenge shit going on here, with like the sharks trying to get revenge on Fin and friends for foiling the last sharknado or something? It would've been magical.
But oh man, that part where Fin attached an improvised set of reigns onto a shark, and rode that flying shark onto the Empire State Building's spire for a safe landing? That was fucking poetry.

Guardians of the Galaxy It's definitely one of the better Marvel movies, but definitely not a 9/10 movie. I really disliked the action scenes after the prison breakout. I don't know if was from the combination of shitty popcorn and a can of Starbucks Doubleshot coffee-like beverage giving me indigestion or I'm just getting too old, but I found the actions scenes after the prison breakout to be incomprehensible.

Ronan comes off like a chump because he's the buttmonkey servant of Thanos and nearly no one gives him any respect. Like after Ronan eats it, Drax immediately dismisses him as an errand boy for Thanos. Like, fuck you man; your entire arc of the movie is that you want revenge against Ronan for killing your family and now you blow off his importance?

We can only hope and pray that Marvel gets Spidey back one day. :( Guardians of the Galaxy
great, easily in the top tier of Marvel movies. But I still think Iron Man 1, Avengers, and Cap 2 are better. Character work felt very rushed and muddled a lot of the time, especially compared to Avengers (and yeah I know the latter was working with preestablished characters and the former had to introduce everyone, but still, feel like it could've been handled better).
Spoiler: more in-depth discussion about character stuff(click to see content)
Of the 5 Guardians, I found Rocket and Drax to be the best established and whose motivations made the most sense; Gamora and Star-Lord less so, and. well, Groot is Groot.
Gamora's turn to good takes place entirely off-screen, which is fine, but it's hard to get a sense of why Ronan wanting to destroy Xandar was the thing that made her turn against Thanos. She was an infamous assassin and murderer who worked for a madman who apparently maybe destroys planets all the time, but Ronan doing it was the last straw? Or maybe Thanos only destroyed her own homeworld? It can sorta be pieced together from Nebula's wanting Ronan to kill Thanos; it obviously wasn't a pleasant time for any of his "children", but it just felt like there was a missing piece from her backstory. Nothing major, but something that could've been fixed up a bit. Other than that, though, she was pretty great.
Star-Lord's quick turn to heroism after essentially being a devil-may-care thief for his entire life also felt abrupt, but like Gamora nothing huge. It just needed a bit more work.
Ronan is the real problem, I think. He's the big bad of the movie but absolutely nothing is established why he wants to murder everyone, or why this PEACE TREATY is so terrible, or anything. He seems to be a renegade from the Kree, angry at their peace with the Nova Corps, but why? He's the big bad of the movie and he doesn't do much besides providing the threat. He's at least more interesting than the Dark Elves from Thor 2, and Lee Pace is able to wring more emotion and stuff from what little he is given than the elves' actors were, but still, I was pretty disappointed that this is all we got for this movie. And all we will get for the foreseeable future, cause they killed him off!
Nebula was handled better, you got the sense of what she was all about in a very small amount of lines, very well done.
Acting is all great, loved Chris Pratt's balance of goofiness and superheroics, and also his muscles; Zoe Saldana was fantastic at conveying both the physicality of her warrior side and her very vulnerable; Dave Bautista is great at all the dead-pan humor; Bradley Cooper turns in a great oversized performance; Lee Pace plays crazy in all the right ways; Michael Rooker is menacing and hilarious as Yondu; Karen Gillan is all creepy and disturbing; Benicio del Toro is absolutely fabulous at being Space Liberace; and Vin Diesel is Groot. Script is pretty good but feels rushed a lot of the time, having to introduce so much stuff. The humor is however reliably hilarious. Action is very well shot and composed; I didn't have any trouble following it and it all flowed together nicely. Great movie, would see again, etc.

HOWARD THE FUCKING DUCK HOLY SHIT
but no lines from Cosmo, the dog the Collector had? I guess they'll save him for the sequel. Because they better have him. I need my telepathic Soviet cosmonaut dogs >:[
RIP Peter Serafinowicz :(
The Collector was in it a lot less than I thought he'd be. The initial reports of the movie when it was announced made it seem like he was the main villain, but even when the marketing was focused mostly on Ronan I was still taken by surprise by small a role it was. But he should be back, surely, he still has the Aether from Thor 2, right?
things i didnt love: john c reilly was really out of place. rocket raccoon was cool but i didnt like how they dropped his history in one line as a basic red herring as its never gone into again. the major villain was fucking weak and a letdown, got blasted around bane dark knight style for most of the latter half of the movie. also that after credits scene..., dont do it marvel
John C. Reilly fit right in, IMO. As for Rocket's backstory and the after credits:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
I felt like Rocket's backstory was handled well, and left no real questions. The backstory he gives, the glimpses of his back (with all the implants, and scars), and his drunken rant all came together pretty well, and gave a good picture of what his deal was. I don't think there's much more information needed.
the extra credits stuff is just a cameo, no way is Marvel gonna use one of their limited movie slots to make another Howard movie. But if they did it would probably be great because Howard the Duck is great and erasing that Lucas movie with a new one would be a good thing!

Guardians of the Galaxy
* I thought Rocket was going to be like comic relief to some extent, but he was played really straight and his character really had weight. He truly felt like "The Man (Raccoon?) With The Plan" at times, even more so than Quill. * I expected Batista to be a more quiet character, yet he got the longest and most articulate lines in the whole movie, and his acting did not suck at all. * I expected a full on Comedy, but sadly the bits previously shown actually worked better as Trailers than in the actual movie. * BUT! I was surprised how the movie handled pretty well some emotional moments, and how the team came together rather pretty heroically. * All characters were pretty relevant and felt with almost equal weight, when I thought it was all going to be Star Lord and friends.
I came in expecting something, and it turned out to be nothing like I expected it. And it was fucking great.

Post by: Bizarro Santamorphman on August 05, 2014, 06:52:11 am
I would recommend actually starting with Annihilation, and not the actual Guardians book, because Annihilation itself is really the seed of the modern iteration of Guardians of the Galaxy* and is the start of a 5 year run in the cosmic corner of Marvel, by the same creative team**. Annihilation was a crossover of most of Marvel's outer space stuff, which revamped a lot of them, and serves as a great introduction to that corner of the Marvel universe; , and is followed by another event, Annihilation: Conquest, which features the prototype version of the team, essentially. Both events have collected editions that have pretty much everything, so they're easy to pick up. Conquest leads directly into the Guardians series proper. That book went for 25 issues before being cancelled, but the writers were able to get a limited series called The Thanos Imperative which wrapped everything all the plot threads up, some going back as far as the first Annihilation.
*the original team, in the comics, was from the 30th century. The present day team is named after the one from the future because time travel! **basically; Keith Giffen did Annihilation, and the Starlord mini from Annihilation: Conquest, which was the prototype version of the Guardians team, and reintroduced Rocket and Groot in their modern forms. Conquest proper and the Guardians series was written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. But they all worked together and stuff, so it's not like there was a major creative shift or anything, Giffen got the ball rolling and DnA took the reigns and rode it out wonderfully!
So basically read these:
- Annihilation (3 volumes) - Annihilation: Conquest (2 volumes) - Guardians of the Galaxy (4 volumes) - The Thanos Imperative (1 volume)
I mean I guess Guardians can be started on with just the series itself but I think the full experience is completely and totally worth it, the 5 year arc is really well done and comes together beautifully. And you get a great tour of all the crazy shit people have been doing in Marvel's cosmic comics!
The Dark Knight Returns (part 1) Cartoon based on the comics by Frank Miller. I loved the story, but couldn't get to like Miller's drawings. The cartoon fixes this by bringing a more up-to-date graphic design.
They're not really any more up-to-date, they're just modified and simplified for animation. Don't pick on Frank Miller, he's had a very hard life turning into a completely bonkers lunatic.

Big Bad Wolves Considered by Tarantino as the best movie of the year. A story about a cop, the suspect and the father of a girl who was kidnapped, raped, assassinated (and other horrible stuff). Builds around dialogues, some very nice tension with the music that is often cut off by pretty funny moments. The comedy part brings something fresh to what would otherwise be a dark vengence movie. Nice twist at the end. I enjoyed it, a lot. Grade : 8/10

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Wow, pretty good. Probably the best CGI that money can buy at the moment, the apes convey emotion very well. This is also due to the motion capture performance ofcourse, but those lifeless CGI eyes can still ruin that, but it's not the case here, they're very believable. At the end of the first movie where you see the 'Simian virus' spread globally, this movie starts with most of the human population killed off from the virus, leaving only a few colonies of people that are immune to it. On a search for a power source, the humans encounter the tribe/family of enhanced apes that live a peaceful, secluded life. Tentions eventually reach a climax where a war between the two is imminent.

Kill Zone (2005) Action movie with Donnie Yen as cop. Pretty bland scenario, and not enough action / martial arts throughout the movie. It's wasn't bad, but nothing to remember either. Only the last 20 minutes are really great, with 2 beautiful fights involving Donnie Yen. You could almost download the movie and skip to the last 20 minutes at this point ... Grade : 6/10 for the first hour and ten minutes. 9/10 for the last 20 minutes.

Now that Caesar has established his leadership over San Franci-pffffffft just kidding.
No, wait I'm totally serious.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
The virus from the last movie spread out and wiped out most of humanity, and now the apes have started their own colony. But humans aren't quite dead yet, so maybe there's a chance the survivors can cooperate with the apes???
I'm probably biased because I'm a huge Planet of the Apes fan (basically, think about Jmorphman and Gundam. That's how I am with Planet of the Apes), but I found this movie to be AMAZING. I love how for the majority of the movie, everyone's in a morally grey area. And as Balth said up above, this is probably the best CG you will ever see in a movie today, and I'm pretty sure a big part of it has to do with how well-developed the ape characters are. Hell, even the non-Andy Serkis ape actors do a really good job of it.
Just to give you an idea of how good this movie is, it actually stomps the assholes of most of the movies from the original series in my opinion.

Gotg
what a great fucking movie, easily my favorite so far from the marvel movies, it does what star wars wishes it did without becoming a mess of self righteous broody gritty shit.
Rocket and Groot stole the whole thing, Ronan could have had more development and benicio ruled the fuck out of the few minutes he was in.
The minimalistic approach to Rocket worked, they just gave you enough that you knew there was more than meets the eye there and then they let it go. The way they lampshaded most conventions of those movies was awesome, from the circle moment to the moment where gamora and quill connect for the first time.
Drax is one of the best readapted characters.

I got a feeling that they are going to make Quill dad Starfox, thanos brother and overall eternal asshole that travels the cosmos trying to seduce alien women

I forgot to tell my thoughts. I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2 days before watching Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
I am NOT a PotA fan. I have hated every movie before these. But I really liked these movies. The 1st one surprised me greatly with how well it was done.You really felt for Caesar and rooted for him to set his fellow apes free. And anything with John Lithgow is amazing by default.
Dawn was completely different than what I expected it to be. In a good way. I didn't think it'd be a bad movie. I just thought it'd be about the apes taking over the world while humans were dying of a disease that gives apes more intelligence.
But it takes place like 10 years later from the 1st IIRC and the story is even better than Rise.
Won't be getting to see GotG till around the 20th mark.

Legend of the Drunken Master (Drunken Fist 2) (1994) : Martial arts and comedy movie with Jackie Chan. Best choregraphies ever with the drunken kungfu style. Scenario is fine, acting is fine, and the various use of objects and all during the drunken fights is brilliant. Grade : 7.5/10
Octopussy : Decided to go on a James Bond spree, as I haven't watched them for a very long time. Decided to start with this one, involving jewelry smuggling, atomic bombs, Russians and Indians. It was fine, even though not super memorable. Grade : 6.5/10

HAYWIRE (2011)
With the lovely Gina Carano! A black ops super soldier (Gina) seeks payback/tries to stay alive after she is betrayed and set up during a mission. Well it was kind of refreshing at least, to see a woman kick butt, in a somewhat realistic setting. The fights were entertaining. The movie did feel like it dragged at times, like you would see a person do a thing on a laptop or phone, that shot would last like 10 seconds, there's no need for that! But even with those kind of shots, the movie was only 1hr 30 minutes, but it did made it feel like it was longer. 5/10

TMNT 2014
Yeah this was as dumb as everybody was expecting.
The jokes were dull, besides looking stupid the Turtles and Splinter's voices were unfitting (save for Raph's), the story is way to focused on April, to the point where
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
A) they make her part of the Turtles backstory (by removing the personal connection the Turtles had with Shredder) B)she actually beats The Shredder
also why is Mikey crushing on her
The Shredder, goofy as he looked, was the best part of sitting through this. He had the best fight scenes and the best lines. William Fichtner's character (who's aligned with the Shredder) is pretty terrible though, what a waste of an actor.
Saddest thing? Numbers are in, and as it turns out, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles managed to more than double Guardians of the Galaxy's haul at the North American box office yesterday *groans*

Punisher: War Zone holy shit, why have I not seen this yet. This is fucking amazing; they've finally cracked the problem of putting the Punisher on screen (because the last two movies could've had the guy from Death Wish or any other revenging vigilante movie protagonist fill in for Frank Castle, honestly) by bringing over the complete insanity and over the top nature directly from the comic books and translating them into film. And it works amazingly. I'm just gonna quote Patton Oswalt here
Patton Oswalt said:
[on the comparison between War Zone and the other movies he had seen that year] But I didn't ever feel like standing up on my chair and cheering. None of them made me cackle like a railyard hobo who's found half a cigar and a can of beans. And none of them had a scene where Dominic West, in Frankenstein makeup, convinces black, Chinese and Irish gangs to put aside their differences and act as cannon-fodder in his hissy fit vengeance scheme against Frank Castle, aka The Punisher.
People are not shot in this film. They have holes blasted through them or are turned into sticky mist.
People are not punched in this film. They have their faces pummeled off.
Children are not threatened. They are un-fixably scarred for life.
The film does not contain a hero. It does not contain an anti-hero. It contains a glowering Brit who huffs around in a bullet-proof body canister like he's searching for the perfect toilet to unleash a ten burrito dump. He's just as awful as the villains he dispatches and, unlike scores of other action heroes, does not utter a single clever or ironic quip. He'll plug someone and already be turning away, scanning the horizon for something else to kill. He's played by Ray Stevenson, but could have easily been played by Ray Stevens. He's more a force of destruction than Jason Vorhees or Michael Meyers could ever dream on.
I mean sure, the undercover cop storyline is a leaden albatross around the movie's neck, but it's still much better than the last two. Because none of those movies had Punisher literally punch someone so hard their face exploded, or had this amazing parkour scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF28ceFJJ3A), or anything involving Looney Bin Jim, or Dominic West's insane accent. And goddamn, this movie is fucking gorgeous, it's just beautifully shot.

The Prince of Egypt
I forgot how good this movie was. I mean as a kid, it was a cool movie to watch because it's all animated and amazing and I was hardcore into Christianity. As a jaded adult who's a bit more open to things though, it's still incredible, and now for entirely different reasons. Unlike most portrayals of the Exodus story, the brotherly relationship between Ramses and Moses is explored more, and both have a lot at stake if either of them fail. Instead of painting Moses to be the confident good guy and Ramses to be an evil prick, Moses doesn't always seem to be sure if he's doing the right thing and Ramses is trying to keep his empire from falling apart while his opponent (in his mind) is a man he grew up with and loved.

Boy, I sure do love it when Christians try and tell a Jewish filmmaker that he's not making the story of Noah "biblically accurate" enough.
You have no goddamn idea what you're talking about. Your criticism of Lucy is hilariously off base as well, unless you think a movie about the origins and destiny of human consciousness as expressed through one ordinary woman suddenly gaining godlike powers is a really safe bet to make a megablockbuster out of.

The first one was more straight to the face and felt more realistic (not really realistic in a realistic way, hard to explain lol), since in the second movie characters like the hammergirl and the baseballbat dude where too much like anime/manga characters for my taste.

In Norwegian with English subtitles.
I liked the first Dead Snow, a splatter/horror movie about Nazi Zombies with a wild mix of really violent scenes and sad scenes which are changed to absurd brutality and fun scenes similar as in Braindead.
The new movie is everything what the first was but a lot more creative and ..to make it short..the best movie with zombies involved I saw since Shaun of the Dead. If you can stand brutal scenes where even harmless childs can be the victims, this is something for you,

Godzilla (2014) Very nice movie (I know nothing about Godzilla), good pace, nice action, cool special effects. Gajira's EMP is God-like. Grade : 7.5/10
Star Trek II - revenge of Kahn (1983) Watched this after Jmorphman said it was so much better than the latest Star Trek. I disagree, but it's still a cool movie that has pretty well aged. Grade : 7/10

Eh, I dunno about that. I wasn't (and I guess still am not?) really into Star Trek before I saw the two Abrams movies (unless you count being enraptured by the opening to Star Trek TNG, with the Enterprise zooming around in space, and immediately losing interest as soon as that opening ending and people started talking), and only saw Wrath of Khan after Into Darkness, which only made the latter movie seem even worse!

The Purge Anarachy
The concept of the whole thing was cool with that purge law but the situations were stupid. every time they killed a pyscho with a gun they NEVER picked it up to use it. I found that so retarded. No way im in a situation like that and i kill a person or persons trying to kill me and im not gonna take their weapon or at least tell the idiots running with me to take their weapons smh....
Could have been better...i would have been a better killer. if i shoot you and you fall im shootin you in the head to make sure you stay dead

Snowpiercer
This was one of the most original sci-fi action romps I've ever seen, despite being far from perfect, and also one of the most thrilling and intense viewing experiences I've had in a while. An outrageous post-apocalyptic concept, daring & stylish direction, and deep performances from Chris Evans et al make this highly recommendable.

Noah Latest movie by Aronofsky, with Russel Crowe, who acts as good as usual. Movie was pretty well made, but 2h20 is a bit long for such a story. Well, I heard it's pretty faithful to the Bible, so I guess it's a good sci-fi/documentary movie (depending on your beliefs). Overall, the realisation and acting is good, but the movie was kinda bland and boring for me. Grade : 6/10
Some parts were very nice IMO, but to a lot of more biblical accurate people, the movie might have been blasphemy lol. I'm more open minded and I really enjoyed how they showed it, though some part were REALLY bland. Found it weird how Noah killed many people though.

Thor: The Dark World
It is a fine film. Entertaining, the plot is okayish, the acting is decent. It is not a great film by all means, but it delivers enough fun. One of my pet peeves with it is that the odds at stake were just much too high to not have other super heroes involved. Definitely nowhere as good as The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, the first Captain America film, but better than Iron Man 2, 3, Hulk and the first Thor film.

Sadly Best Buy or any stores i was searching in Manhattan today didnt have winter solider on Dvd/Bluray :( seems as though it isnt available yet out here er somethin :???: BUT!! i did get curious and happen to see it was available to download from PSN....Usually i buy Dvds but this download purchase of 20 bucks was WORTH IT ;D....
And with that said i the last movie Just finished watching was Captain America Winter solider.
-The movie entirely was a blast from start to end. -I like how Falcon was introduced in the flick and how the actor played his part. -Bucky was insane to watch in action!! -Cap impressed me a lot with the combat martial arts he did in this film. i loved how they let him cut loose like that -The situation with nick fury was well played out. I love the writers of these films. they are making them all kick ass!!....
Bad ass movie as i figured it would be.....

I remember them coming to earth two or so hours before the dark elf got there. Ironman would make it in time there, given that he was able to fly from the USA to Middle East in a matter of few hours in his first film. I am sure he would be able to cross the Atlantic in about 2 hours and get there in time to help.
Or Heimdal could have opened the bifrost to send more Asgardians to Earth once the Dark Elf hit England.

Yeah, it was an stupid idea from the writers to set part of the action on earth, it would make a lot of more sense to set it in another world entirely where stark, cap and hulk can't easily go.
I am watching Man of Steel on HBO right now. Sups find a broken capsule on the ancient ship, my bullshit sense it's telling me that it was the mother of wonder woman who came out from it, since it was stated earlier that amazonians had Kryptonian origin in this universe.

Iron Man blew up all his armor, and Hulk probably couldn't get there that fast. The rest probably couldn't get there fast enough either, but that's besides the point, because they're all severely outclassed by the threat level. I don't really think it's a big issue.
In the end, the filmmakers wanted a one on one showdown between Malekith and Thor; the only thing they might've done about this issue would be to add in clunky dialogue explaining how the dimensional alignment thing is screwing up the Bifrost, and Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye are fighting an AIM cell in the Himilayas and are incommunicado, and Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are on a drunken bender and haven't been seen in days, and so on and so forth. And that's all unnecessary.
"It is simple! We let the Disney Princess with l'oreal hair fight the danger that could destroy the entire universe alone and without any aid! Surely nothing can go wrong with that."
You mean let the incredibly brilliant scientist use her unique skill and knowledge of interdimensional portals and astrophysics to improvise stupidly advanced technology that turns out to be the only thing that is capable of defeating Malekith, who simply could not be beaten by Thor; the scientist who assisted Thor from the sidelines, hiding in cover (at least, until the Dark Elf grunts found them), while he handled the fighting? What exactly was the issue with that? :-\
Well, it is not her fault that male written laws say that showing off female toplessness isn't acceptable. Weren't for that, I am sure she would be sporting a topless scene here and there too. :beatnik:
I doubt she would accede to that, and it's not a law; it's just that it would automatically make it rated R.

No, I mean them letting the Disney Princess with the hammer try to hold Malekith on his own instead of having any aid from Asgard at the very least. As shown at the start of the film, the bifrost worked pretty good during the alignment, as they used it to snatch the aether from Malekith's hand. Odin is much too wise to let his bitterness get in the way in a situation like that. And even if he did, Heimdall would do something and send Asgardian's to earth. He did so in the first film, after all.

My point stands. It was them that made female nipples be considered rated R, so we can enjoy all those delicious male topless scenes while they get none female ones by their own fault. :beatnik:

It's just a tossed off example of a potential hand-wave! Maybe the Dark Elves had installed anti-Bifrost compensators that jammed the Bifrost or something! Maybe Loki-as-Odin deliberately closed the Bifrost for some reason! I dunno, the actual explanation doesn't matter too much; assistance from Asgard or elsewhere would detract from the final fight sequence. The whys and wherefores of them not sending assistance aren't that interesting, IMO.

Thor himself has been a Disney Princess since the first Thor film. And I love the implications of that. :D This excuse also allowed me to give my niece a lot of Thor stuff, setting her path to geekdom.

Great cast, with a 3rd from Wet hot american summer,and other big TV names. Basically a huge spoof on romantic comedies with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler in the lead. Very very funny. And how can you not love Christopher Meloni in a super hero suit shitting himself then taking the suit off and leaving it in the bathroom only to be discovered and then slyly leaving all while blaming someone else for pooping in his suit?

Expendables 3 (2014)
I disliked it. The entire movie was drab, too much focus on Sly's character (that has zero character development), a new team of young recruits that nobody cares for (in the audience) is introduced, the action was bland with some not-that-well-pulled-off cgi and mtv-style quick cuts editing where you can't see what the hell is going on, the story in general was shit. None of the other Expendables are given much to do and the humor didn't work. Oh and they made this one PG13. The runtime is also longer then before at 2hrs 15 minutes, which isn't doing anyone any favors. I read some comments that this is the best of the series, but those people are liars and/or morons. The only thing that was intriguing was Mel Gibson's villain character. Whenever he (or Dolph Lundgren) wasn't unscreen, the film suffered. Best avoided, and they probably should end this series of films right here because I can only see it go downhill further from here.

IT'S SHOWTIME
Beetlejuice
The plot's very simplistic, so describing it would be, in essence, a spoiler, even though I'm sure most of you have already seen it.
I haven't watched this movie since I was a teenager, but watching it again is pretty amazing. Basically imagine if Pee-Wee's Big Adventure was for adults and the craziness shot through the roof. All of the special effects and stop-motion sequences are VERY well done, and are so imaginative it's still surprising to watch today. And naturally, Michael Keaton steals the show as Beetlejuice.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
In a way, this movie is kind of bittersweet because it reminds me of what Tim Burton's movies were like, and compared to how they are now, it seems like Mr. Burton doesn't really understand what made his movies good in the first place. Pee-Wee, Beetlejuice, and Scissorhands (and - even though he didn't direct it, he still wrote it - The Nightmare Before Christmas) were good movies because they took risks, had memorable visuals, and did NOT fall into a formula. Apparently, Tim felt that people wanted to focus on the main characters being outsiders, forgetting that they need to be memorable outside of this idea (Pee-Wee's eccentricities, Beetlejuice's chaos, Edward's confusion, and Jack Skellington's misguided optimism), and became the punchline of goth jokes.
It's kind of funny that, in my opinion, Henry Selick (the director of Nightmare Before Christmas) is actually capable of being more Tim Burton-y than Tim Burton himself (Monkeybone is still shit though)!

Frankenweenie was a nice comeback too IMO, after the very very average Dark Shadows.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014) With Tom Cruise, who finally decided to play in a good movie after all these years in mindless blockbusters (Jack Reacher was good, though). Basically, this movie is a mix between "War of Worlds" (or any Alien invasion movie) and "Groundhog Day". Very good action, fast paced, wonderful rythm, pretty cool scenario (even though the ending doesn't make sense, and seems to have been done just for the sake of a happy ending, Hollywood style), impressive visuals.

I thought Oblivion was really good one, not good as Minority Report but very near IMO. And you know what ? I started to apperciate these blockbusters he starred in like MI4. Yeah some of them are shallow and maybe mindless in story department but they still are pretty good entertaiment for evening at home. After watching some heavy dramas, thrillers (which are my favourites) and psychological movies I like to watch something lighter packed with action & stuff to relax. It helps alot if previous movie I just watched had depressing ending.

OH MY GOD THE BEATLES ARE COMING (NSFW) (http://i.imgur.com/DcgNYg2.jpg)
A Hard Day's Night
To say this movie has a plot is like saying that a grilled cheese sandwich is a gourmet dish. It's pretty much a repeating sequence of the Beatles goofing off and playing some of their hits. Yet somehow, it's a very, very loveable movie. All the Beatles are very likable and bring something to the group. And just seeing them have fun kinda warms you up inside, because it feels genuine, as if you could just hang out with these dudes in person.
I will say that Paul's grandpa is dick, though.

Iced has been trying to get me to watch this movie for months so I finally sat down and watched...
Waltz With Bashir
I'll admit that it's very hard to watch, mostly because you know that the events surrounding it are horrific, real, and (as Iced told me when he introduced the movie to me) are largely forgotten or ignored by the general public, especially to Americans.
To be fair, I have difficulties reviewing documentaries since the rubric you grade them on is entirely different from a "normal" movie. Regarding aesthetics though, I have to say that I was a bit conflicted at first. At first I was wondering if animation was truly the best way to go about it seeing how a big chunk of it is Ari interviewing a variety of people, but whenever you're seeing a flashback or a dream sequence, the style blurs the lines between reality and fiction, and the result is very, VERY powerful.
9/10 but I probably won't watch it again because holy shit that was a hard watch.

Street Fighter Assassin's Fist The series (which I didn't watch) all put together into a 2h25 long movie. Pretty good acting, doesn't feel cheesy at all for a small production like this. Obviously a lot of fan service. Tells the story that we already know of Ryu and Ken's training with Gouken, but also goes back to how Gouki became an Akuma (oh the irony), and his training with Gotetsu.

Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary
Theater was packed for the midnight premiere on Thursday. Too fast paced, barely makes any sense for those who don't know the story. The re-designs and re-working of the story is TOO JAPANESE. The level of crazy it gets reminds me of Final Fantasy.

I've been trying to get into Saint Seiya for years and was counting on this as my "in". Is it mostly for existing fans, then? That's unfortunate.

Actually, Seiya is painted sometimes almost like a Pixar character. He does a lot of hand gestures and faces, and people in the theater were actually laughing.
In a big screen, it's still a very enjoyable spectacle, colorful, vibrant. You should watch it regardless, instead of going through the entire series ... the show gets very slow, the pace of the movie is lightning fast, to the point of being almost incomprehensible. Like a friend put it - "This is the Dragon Ball Kai of the Sanctuary Saga"

^ Kinda agreed. I actually loved the movie, compared with DBZ Battle of the Gods, this movie is fucking glorious. Very enjoyable, yet, I wouldn't say it works perfectly as a fanservice at all, they changed the designs too much and the sanctuary kinda reminds me to Asgard from The Avengers (which was from the few thing that actually I didn't enjoy), but in general, it's an awesome action movie, the fighting scenes are really impressive.
I'm still hyped, and it coult take a week to pass, so, yeah, like I said, I loved it. :3

Somebody uploaded it to Youtube so I decided to watch
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff: The Moive
I have to say that Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson pull off their roles flawlessly. I mean, I knew Ben Stiller was garbage (Owen Wilson has a place in my heart thanks to Wes Anderson), but he is perfectly in his element as Sweet Bro, and okay sorry this isn't the movie I watched. I wish it was. Instead, I watched:
Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie Maybe I should list the good things about this movie first:
Spoiler: THESE ARE ALL SPOILERS(click to see content)
The zombie dream sequence: I wish James stuck to making zombie movies because this was easily the best part of the movie.
Death Mwauthzyx. Actually him going on a rampage throughout the world was pretty cool too, and I wish this was the whole movie.
Lloyd Kaufman's cameo. Granted you had to have a shitty Nostalgia Critic cameo where he SCREAMS, but Kaufman's cameo is a joy to behold.
The movie actually acknowledging that Rolfe's time as The Nerd should probably come to an end.
AVGN's review of ET during the credits. It feels like one of his old reviews where it really felt like he was being genuine and not staging anything.
The rest of the movie is just horribly forgettable. The jokes don't really stand out (ie: Dude thinks a couple are having sex when they're doing something that's not sex. HILARIOUS), the special effects aren't good enough to be convincing, nor are they bad enough to be cheesy (except for a deliberate reference to TMNT III), and the acting is just... okay. It feels like it's too self-aware, and sometimes it just gets downright preachy.
Spoiler: Spoiler for later in the movie(click to see content)
Also there's a scene where The Nerd finds a moon landing set, and it's being maintained by Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Tupac. I... I don't know how feel about that.
So here's the thing. There are a handful of really great moments that really stand out and show that Rolfe could really make a good movie, but they're buried under a bunch of forgettable moments.

Hellboy 2: the golden army
Well it had loads of fun action, great visuals and awesome characters, which was expected I guess since it's the stuff Del Toro does best. Unfortunately the movie is bogged down by really awkward and just kinda bad dialogue and acting. The soundtrack was also just painfully generic.
Also it felt oddly... "kid friendly" in a way, with the humor and some of the creatures. I don't remember much about the first movie, but I do remember stuff about nazis and cthulhu, so I can't imagine it catering for kids much. Favorite scene was when Hellboy and Fishman got wasted.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
Boy, was this movie unnecessarily late. Other than that, it does a good job of adapting the stories that are actual comic stories (Just Another Saturday Night, and the titular story) and it has that excessive hard-boiled feel that made the first one enjoyable. The Long Hard Road (with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a gifted gambler with a secret) also feels like it could belong in that universe.
The last story, though. Ugh. It it plays like bad fanfiction, with Jessica Alba and Marv (who should probably be dead at the point this supposedly takes place) storming Sen. Roark's compound guns-a-blazing. That it's the final segment really leaves a sour aftertaste to the movie.

Gone Girl by David Fincher, with Ben Affleck. Thriller/drama about a wife who disappears all of a sudden, and more and more suspicions go onto the husband, who acts strangely. Very good scenario, 2h25 that feel much shorter, good pace, nice realisation, very good acting from Ben Affleck seeing that his role was really hard to play. Grade : 8/10

Thor drives an Indy a Formula One Car circa 1970's and does drugs while having lots of sex with random and hot women (In an Airplane!! With a pair of ladies leaving his Hotel's hallway!!). Because that's how to be fucking extreme. That's all I really got for this review...

What did you watch earlier in the day?? X2?? First Class?? Those were also pretty good and Days of Future Past was a lot of Fun. While Hugh Jackman's physique is awesome and admirable (I have no problem admitting if a guy is good looking/handsome), he really needs to lay off of the steroids. Seriously... compare him between all films from the first one onward and it's kinda obvious.
I'd give Days of Future Past and First Class an 8/10. It was awesome to see Wolverine kick ass and Michael Fastbender do the same, but out of retribution. I've always loved revenge/retribution plots.

Hercules: The Legendary... oh wait just Hercules (2014)
Yeah, I went into this movie with relatively low expectations and it turned out to be pretty decent. Nice action, fun characters, good acting for the most part (Ian McShane and John Hurt in one movie? For extended periods of time?), nothing painfully Ratner-ish about the direction or the tone of the movie, and (this may be the most important of all) it DIDN'T LAST 2 AND A HALF HOURS. In an age where most action directors can't seem to find the edit program in their movie-making suite (I'm looking at you Transformers 4 you bloated piece of garbage!), an action movie that's just 80-90 minutes is like a breath of fresh air.

So I rewatched Event Horizon
The first time I watched this, I expected just some normal sci-fi movie about w/e. Damn, I was surprised when it went all thriller/psychological horror on me. I like the progression of the movie and the characters were interesting too. The one thing I disliked was the "doctor" who became the antagonist too easily without much resistance. I found it kind of weird. Apart from that, the movie was very cool and kept me interested the entire time. Those gorey little parts did shock me as they were literally random AF and I wasn't expecting it at all. Awesome movie.

Ah, OK. My bad. :omg:
I do agree with you on the RoboCop and Conan comparisons. I feel that all of those films from the 80's and 90's will edge out a majority of stuff from nowadays. Back then, studios were far more creative through releasing original content, I.E. lots of interesting and thoughtful experimentation through clever writing. Everything had such charm and character, and the film built upon those basic elements. They don't make stuff like Back to the Future, Big Trouble in Little China, The Usual Suspects, RoboCop, Short Circuit, The Terminator, Top Gun, Ghostbusters, The Matrix, Snatch or Fight Club anymore. You get a few standouts today, but not as much as you did back then.

Post by: Jango Hakamichi on November 04, 2014, 09:54:04 am
Welp, today begins my viewing of HIFF movies! And what a start I have, because my first movie is:
The Furthest End Awaits (Japan)
No, this movie has nothing to do with the apocalypse despite the way its title sounds. It's actually a story about a middle-aged woman, Misaki, whose father is now legally dead (he's been missing for 8+ years), and she inherits a worthless boathouse that he used to own, which she proceeds to convert into a coffee shop. Next door is a woman named Eriko, a 20-something single mother who works as a hostess in the city. Over the course of the movie, the two women form a unique friendship.
I'll be honest, I had my doubts. First of all, I generally have had difficult times with Japanese movies that ended up in the arthouse, as a lot of the ones I've seen tend to be cliche and unsatisfying with lots of loose ends that never get resolved. This was smited when the director came forward before the movie (it's common for the directors/producers/actors to show up at the festivals for Q&A) and started talking... in Mandarin. Chiang Hsiu-Chiung hails from Taiwan, and thus the movie was a joint collaboration between Japanese and Taiwanese filmmaking. My second doubts kicked in because I was beginning to have flashbacks of every time I watched a Taiwanese New Wave movie (a movie produced between 1990 and 2010 which focused on realism, or rather, maintaining a single shot on something for about five minutes where nothing of consequence happens), and I thought that I essentially traded in one downside for another.
I'm happy to report that neither of my fears occurred. True, there are quite a number of establishing shots, but it feels like every shot is conveying something. While Eriko and Misaki are the main characters and the story arcs are do an excellent job of yo-yo'ing between the two, I can't help but feel that Eriko's children, Arisa and Shota, steal the show with their innocence and optimism when there's just so much negative going on around them. The movie also does a good job of addressing how much these two women are pretty much on their own in life, just trying to get by. If I had to give a downside, there's a part in the movie that gets really, really dark which I won't go into, but after it's done, it has surprisingly little impact on the plot outside of a joke later on.
Outside of that one negative, this movie is handled very well, and it's an example of a women-centric movies done right.
8/10

Night two at the HIFF, and goddamn.
Lupin The Third
Lupin and the gang are after The Crimson Heart of Cleopatra, a treasure created by Marc Anthony and Cleopatra that has been split into two pieces: a necklace and a priceless ruby. However, there's a rival gang lead by a thief named Michael that's after the same thing. Furthermore, the necklace is held by a former thief, Dawson, while the Ruby is held by a kingpin in the Southeast Asian underworld, Pramuk. Will they pull it off?!
In the tradition of Marvel's superhero movies, Lupin The Third tells a new story on how the group got together for the first time. The circumstances are... well they aren't as happy as you'd probably expect if you're a fan of Lupin, but it works. Ryuhei Kitamura (who is most well-known for his movies Versus and Godzilla: Final Wars), in my opinion, did a great job of taking the Lupin formula and updating it for a modern-day crowd. Parts of it feel like Ocean's Eleven, but mixed in with Lupin's wit and charm. Additionally, the casting for both the mainstays and the newcomers is great. All the mainstays nail their parts perfectly (although Jigen probably could've had some more time in the spotlight), and they add in some depth that complements the characters rather than overpower it. The rival gang is also pretty well-done, and they're basically the anti-Lupin, with over-the-top designs and ridiculously awesome weapons and firepower. In a way it's like a clash between old-school and new-school, and it's done very well. Spoken languages switch around alot, from Japanese to English to Chinese to Thai, and while that means it's a NECESSITY to watch with subtitles, I personally like how much fun they have with it.
If I had some complaints to levy at this movie, I felt that the whole opening bit with Michael and Dawson were a bit out of place, and while they establish the plot, most of the other concepts that were introduced (ie: "The Works," a group of thieves that is headed by Dawson) are quickly abandoned. Additionally, seriously Mr. Kitamura? No Lupin III theme? I mean, Tomoyasu Hotei's original song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8v0CW4V__A) for the movie kicks a lot of ass, but the original theme couldn't even show up in the credits?
Those minor nags aside, this movie is a real fucking roller coaster ride of a movie, and one that almost anyone would want to watch again and again.

HIFF coverage continues!
Bang Bang! (India) (not to be confused with the Rammstein song of the same name (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwv7A6mre1U))
A thief named Rajveer is paid by international crime lord Omar Zafar to steal the Kohinoor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor). Meanwhile, a receptionist named Harleen is finding her life as a bank receptionist boring, and she decides she wants to finally try online dating. Naturally these stories are going to intertwine with each other. Naturally. Oh and I guess it's a remake of some shitty movie starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_and_Day)? I dunno, I didn't see it.
If you haven't figured it out, this is a Bollywood movie! So expect lots of over-the-top action, lots of impossibly sexy actors (hell, Rajveer's actor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hrithik_Roshan) has some of the hottest abs I've ever seen and my Kinsey score has since increased by one point), and moments where people just bust out singing in elaborate dance numbers for no reason. There's quite a bit of hilarious bits and smart dialogue, and the action sequences are pure eye-candy. The soundtrack is ridiculously catchy as well, and I found myself bobbing my head in time with the music a lot. I should also add that this is the first movie of the festival so far that got a standing ovation!
Now for the downsides. As a Bollywood film, this is actually pretty tame. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of stuff that wouldn't fly in a non-Bollywood production, but it feels like the direction team toned a lot of things down, especially during the third quarter of the movie, where things start to get a lot more serious. In a way, it feels once you hit that part, the movie loses quite a bit of its charm and starts trying to ape Hollywood movies, and while there are still funny moments, it feels a lot more generic and cookie-cutter.
So basically, on one hand, I really love the first half of this movie, but it really starts to peter out as you go further in, and it's a damn shame, because that first half is fucking incredible.

I'm a little biased because science, physics and space exploration fascinate me, but I'll give a try.
Taking Bats out of the equation and leaving the other 3 movies I know from Nolan (Memento, The Prestige and Inception) in the equation, the first thing I must say is as usual there's always this recursive/escher-ish feeling to this movie too.
1. Interstellar 2. The prestige 3. Inception 4. Memento
I placed Interstellar in the first place because that's a story I can believe in because theres some scientific backing to it, and knowing it could be real (with some stretchs, of course... after all this is a movie) made me think about a lot of stuff and feel a helluva lot of things. I see some elements from the other movies mixed here together, like the "scientific" part in The Prestige (the Tesla stuff), the way Inception plays with your mind making you wonder if there's a "bigger" reality than the one you are experiencing or the order the story is told, like in Memento.
I'll have to watch this movie 2 or 3 more times to catch some details again.

Horns
Started out alright, with how the horns made people tell their sins,and commit them. Then sorta fell flat the rest of the way, but the biggest thing that annoyed me was the fact they never even bother to explain why he got them in the first place, I mean it's basically belittling your audience into thinking they aren't smart enough to realize you went this entire movie without explaining at all why he has horns.

Birdman
Michael Keaton is an aging actor who starred in a superhero franchise 20 years ago, whose star has faded and is trying to make a big comeback in a big name prestige production. Oh wait that's real life, let me try again: Michael Keaton stars as an aging actor who starred in a superhero franchise 20 years whose star has faded and is trying to make a big comeback in a big name prestige production: a Broadway adaptation of a Raymond Carver short story, while he grapples with a volatile cast and troubled production, all the while menaced by the voice he used as Birdman, whispering dark thoughts into his ear.
So I'm still kinda undecided on this; the film is visually stunning (the movie is shot so that it appears to be one long, single, unbroken take), and the acting is uniformly excellent, but... I dunno. The script runs into a few problems, notably with its sloppy treatment of the press/critics as terrible, ignorant, and evil buffoons (especially pronounced with the cartoonishly evil New York Times theater reviewer), at times feeling like a filibuster from the director after the mixed reaction to his last few films. And it absolutely hurts the movie, but I still haven't quite worked out how much. Overall I think it was good I guess? I dunno!!!!

It's been like a week or two since I watched it, but... The Book of Life. Manolo and Joaquín are in love with María ever since they're kids, yet, María must move to spain so they grow up to be a torero, a famous militar officer and a very cultivated woman. However, what Manolo really wants is to become a musician instead of a torero like all his ancestors. In this circumstances, La muerte (la catrina in Mexico), who reings the land of the remembered and Xibalba, ruler of the land of the forgotten, play a bet: if Manolo marries first María, La muerte wins, if Joaquín does, Xibalba wins.
Well, I could have told a bit more about the film, but that's what you need to know. As an american film based on mexican culture, it's full of stereotypes, so it may seem kinda racist (well, it actually is), so if you're a mexican nationalist, you don't want to watch this movie. What is up to designs, they're all cool, especially La muerte and Xibalba's designs. Music could have been much better, but it passes. The main plot develops well as so does the movie (for what a movie of this kind is), so it's OK. The animation isn't bad either, yet, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Spoilered the individual reviews so that I don't trigger someone.
Kabukicho Love Hotel
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
This movie follows the lives of multiple couples that all happen to have business in a love hotel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_hotel). Among the line-up are one of the hotel's managers and his singer girlfriend, a Korean couple, an older couple who are both fugitives, and a bunch of other different characters that pass by.
The biggest shock to me is that there is hardcore sex. Considering that most mainstream Japanese fare don't even show couples kissing, it was pretty shocking to see couples bumping uglies with each other. Granted it's all censored, but still that's incredible. Most of the characters are memorable in some form or another, and do a decent job of getting your interest (the best stories, hands down, were the aforementioned Korean couple and a particular story about a runaway teen and a dude that's trying to force her into prostitution). The camerawork is also pretty good, as the handheld combined with the angles makes it feel as if we snuck into the rooms as flies on the wall, watching things we probably shouldn't be watching.
The downside however, is that after a while, the movie feels like it starts dragging. The ending is just so abrupt and out of nowhere, for a while it feels like it's a non-ending. There are also some plot threads that never get completely resolved, which is a damn shame since some of the stories start out really strong and falter because of a lack of resolution.
So... I guess it was okay, just nothing to write home about outside of HOLY SHIT JAPANESE PEOPLE HAVING SEX IN A MOVIE.
7/10
The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
This one is actually a pretty interesting project. Basically, animation GOD Hayao Miyazaki permitted one person to film him over the course of a year, and this is the end result. We seem him working on The Wind Rises (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_Rises), making fun of his peer Isao Takahata for delaying his movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Princess_Kaguya), and a look at the man in his off hours, contemplating life and his career choice.
The title of the movie kind of intimidated me, because I didn't want to see a dark side of one of the greatest anime directors of all time, but it's actually quite a positive, if sometimes bittersweet, documentary. Miyazaki is definitely an interesting character to watch, seeing him yo-yo back and forth between child-like playfulness and intense perfectionism. What really got me early on was his discussion on what he believes are the problems with movies today. He mentions that the advances in filmmaking are incredible and allow things to be done that were impossible when he first startedout, but the days of a filmmaker taking risks to make movies that they want to make are dying, and that the movies that come out nowadays are beautiful but soulless, "cursed dreams" as he describes them. It's kind of sobering to see the director accept that he's part of a dying breed but acknowledge that these things weren't meant to go on forever.
I have to admit that it's really hard to review a documentary since there are different criteria to follow than a regular movie. However, I will say that it does an excellent job of showing the complexity of Mr. Miyazaki's character, one that is often shrouded in mystery. His other assistants add on to the depth of the documentary, and show their struggles in trying to meet Miyazaki's expectations, which contrast a lot with the moments of his own self-doubt (ie: he had a hard time drawing the planes in The Wind Rises).
So I have to give kudos to the filmmaker for showing Miyazaki as not just a great director but as a great human-being in general.

Maleficent With Angelina Jolie, telling the story of the Sleeping Beauty, but from the "bad guy" point of view. I was expecting a shitty movie, and it actually turned out to be pretty interesting, with fine acting, okay visual effects and an interesting story. Grade : 7/10
Hercules (2014) What a shitty movie. Horrible story, horrible acting, sloppy effects, not even entertaining fights. I laughed once or twice, but probably due to the fact we were drinking and smoking with friends. Grade : 3/10
American Psycho With Christian Bale. I don't think there's any need to present to movie. It's a cult movie nowadays, and the acting is really fabulous. I still need to read the book though... Grade : 7.5/10
Carlito's Way From Brian de Palma, with Al Pacino and Sean Penn. Pretty good gangster movie, with a fine pace and the usual story, with good acting from those two very good actors. Grade : 7/10
Inside Man From Spike Lee, with Denzel Washington. Pretty original story about a bank robbery. Doesn't focus on action as usual, but more on motivations and how the robbers end up doing what they had planned. Grade : 8/10

Yeah, probably. In 10 years, Maleficent will probably be à 5 or 6, while Carlito's Way will stay the same, but I'm just grading with respect to my general feeling about the movie, aka "how much did I like it ?" It's more a subjective grade than a thourough objective grade where I take acting/story/story-telling/music/pace into account.

I get you, I just couldn't get into the mood for Maleficent, but Jolie's performance is indeed superb, sadly the rest (performances, plot, etc) don't match up with that.

Goddammit one of my movies got cancelled so you only get one review.
Samurai Pirates
Kaede Murakami is an elementary school girl who has two friends who she likes to go exploring with. She's also the descendant of pirate lord Tatayoshi Murakami. One day there's an announcement that the ferry to their island is shutting down which will cripple the local economy, so Kaede and friends go on an adventure in order to find her ancestor's treasure.
This is probably the most kid-friendly movie that I saw at the festival. It's structured like one of the many movies from the 80's that had a ragtag group of kids going on an adventure with magical elements. Kyoka Shibata does an excellent job as Kaede, playing a conflicted 12-year-old who's in-between being a kid and facing adult hardships. She's easily the best character in the movie and I hope to see more of her work in the future (provided child-acting doesn't totally jade her). The story is also an interesting one, and while I won't give away the twist, and even though the moral of the story is familiar to anyone that watched Saturday morning cartoons in their youth, the way it's presented feels both fresh and sentimental.
Now while I said Ms. Shibata was the best actress, it seems like none of the other cast can really keep up. Probably the biggest example of this is Toshi Takeuchi, who plays Ryuichi, the token "bad older teenager who messes around with the kids" that these movies tend to have. He seems like the most dangerous character in the movie to the point that he even tries to KILL THE KIDS WITH A KNIFE HOLY SHIT, but this is addressed in one minute flat. None of the other characters really contribute much outside of being there to move the plot forward or cracking a joke.
I shouldn't be too hard on them though because the movie IS quite entertaining, so while I would normally give something like this maybe a 6/10, Ms. Shibata pushed it up to:
8/10 Seriously she's pretty much the best thing about the movie.

Comparatively better than The Conjuring, but that's not saying much. It's still pretty weak as a horror movie, except for the masterfully achieved Elevator Sequence, because they play with the audience's expectations greatly.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes This was really very good. Story takes place 10 years after the deadly virus that spread among humans, and shows the politics/fights/friendship that can happen between humans and apes. Great pace, lots of emotions, special effects (the apes) which really serve the story. The eyes and overall motion of the apes is just so belivable. Grade : 8.5/10

I actually kind of loved it? I don't know. I mean yeah it was obviously skewed for a younger audience, and even having never read any of source material I could tell it shares almost nothing in common with the comics it's named after, but it was still entirely enjoyable. Fun characters, beautiful scenery and animation.
The only thing that really bugged me was the fact that Honey Lemon's VA would occasionally start affecting a Japanese accent for, like, two or three words at a time for no reason and it was pretty distracting. Especially when you consider that none of the characters who are actually Japanese talked like that.

This was on my backlog for a while, so while I'm getting over a cold, I figured I might as well watch it.
The Last Temptation of Christ
I assume most people here are at least vaguely familiar with the story of Jesus Christ, which takes up the majority of this movie, so I won't go into that. What sets the movie apart however is at Jesus' crucifixion. As he dies, a young girl appears before him, telling him that he doesn't need to suffer any more; he has already proved his loyalty to God and now he will be rewarded. Thus, Jesus steps off the cross.
I just want to point out that this telling of the story is not entirely accurate to the bible, but I'm a firm believer in the idea that movies and books don't need to line up 100%, so that's fine. As a result, it's very intriguing to see some of the ways the plot deviated from the popular beliefs. Jesus may be the son of God but he's also human, and he also doubts himself just like everyone else (Willem Dafoe does an EXCELLENT job as Jesus, by the way). Mary Magdalene was a woman who was in love with Jesus but was turned away due to his holy calling, and is now a prostitute. Probably the biggest surprise is Judas Iscariot, who is Jesus' closest and most loyal friend. And of course, things get bloody, violent, and sensual very quickly. It definitely doesn't feel like your typical "epic biblical production," but it somehow feels much more authentic, and it's undeniably a breath of fresh air to the genre.
If I was to make any complaints about this movie... It would probably be Satan. Seriously? He looks like fire coming out of a tiny flamethrower, and it doesn't help that the framerate halves whenever he's around.
Still, it's an incredible movie that I think is unjustly shrouded in controversy. If you're a Christian, you owe it to yourself to watch this just to appreciate how great Jesus' sacrifice was. If you're not a Christian, watch it anyway because it's a very intelligent production.
9.5/10

Washed up 90s actor puts everything on the line in a last attempt to stay relevant and respectable in show business, while he fights his internal demons and constantly alternating shots between reality and fantasy in some very impressive long shots that make the movie feel like almost 2 or 3 continuous shots.

There's a Criterion sale at Barnes & Noble, so I picked up:
Eraserhead
Plot? HAH.
This time I'm going to start off the review with the negatives. There is a lot of downtime. A LOT. Seriously, for every batshit crazy thing that happens in this movie, there's a lot of Henry just staring around looking surprised or scared. Or there's an establishing shot. Or there's just shots of the camera panning around and nothing happening. It's a shame because when things go nuts, it's beautiful, but most of the time... you're just waiting for something to happen.
So what saves this movie? A few things. First of all, like I said, the visuals are pretty darn impressive! The baby has to take the award for creepiest thing on film. Looking at screenshots of it doesn't do it justice, watching it in motion is beautiful (?) and it really does make you wonder how the damn thing was constructed. The other honorable mention of course has to go to the dinner scene, aside from the token "chicken cutting" scene, there's a lot of other bizarre happenings going down that just need to be seen in motion to fully appreciate.
Maybe I'm the wrong audience for this movie, but yeah, I felt like a lot of it dragged, but whenever the surrealism kicked in... WOW.

There's nothing wrong with ScarJo's boobs but her acting in this movie however WAS a problem for me. It started out pretty good but as she's developing these beforementioned god-like abilities her acting switches to utmost boring. Most likely a director's decision (but not a good one imo). Also yeah, this movie had one of the most misleading trailers I've ever seen, I think most people were expecting more of a Matrix-inspired action fest, but guess what; she doesn't actually throw a SINGLE punch or kick in this movie (instead of action it goes into...deeper material). I was pretty thrown off by it tbh. No more then 3/10 for me.

Badlands
Holly is a 15-year-old highschooler in South Dakota whose mother died. She lives alone with her dad and dog. Kit is a 25-year-old greaser who can't hold a job. He hates it when people litter. They fall in love, and Kit wants Holly to run away with him. As they trek across South Dakota and head to Montana, their relationship is put through trials and tribulations to see how much they truly love each other. Oh yeah and a lot of people get killed in the process because these characters are loosely based on Charles Starkweather (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Starkweather) and his girlfriend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caril_Ann_Fugate) who went on a killing spree in 1958.
It's really hard to mix a crime movie with a coming of age romance story, but somehow Badlands really pulls it off. Martin Sheen's Kit is both charming and psychotic, often yo-yo'ing between the two. One minute he's prince charming for Holly, the next minute he's shooting people that are even suspected of betraying him, and part of the tension is wondering who's going to get shot next. I also love how Holly's voiceover frames the movie, with her commenting on even minute details that would normally seem meaningless. Usually I dislike narrators, but she manages to add dimension to the scenes and make the experience even more whole. It's also really hard to see her innocence slowly corrode as she watches people getting killed and start wondering if she should really be with Kit.
If there was a downside to this movie, it would be that Holly's acting is a little... well, off. On one hand, I can see that she's supposed to be mostly innocent and not grasping the full consequences of what's going on, but at the same time, I feel that she under-reacts to a lot of really messed up shit!
Definitely recommended. It's a love story for people who are sick of romantic movies.

The Raid: Redemption 3rd Time I've watched it. Still intense, action-packed and well-excecuted. A real high mark in martial arts movie history! 8/10
The Raid 2: Berandal I watched part 1 the day before, so my expectations were high. Overall I was a bit disappointed. First and foremost; the movie is way too damn long (martial arts/action movies shouldn't be 2,5 hours long! Trivia tells me the first cut of this movie was even 3,5 hours long! WTF!). Not just long but it felt dragged out in a lot of parts, some characters (like 'hammer girl' and 'baseball guy') could easily be cut and the movie would have turned out better for it. Same with the Koso character, played by Yayan Ruhian who also played Mad Dog in the first movie. That was just confusing; they should have added a huge scar on his throat and have it be Mad Dog instead of another character (though it's unlikely someone could survive the damages done to his character even in movie land). His character could have been cut from the movie and it wouldn't have mattered much (and it would have removed that beforementioned confusion and shorten the running time). The fight scenes also failed to impress at times (the big exception being the final 1-on-1 fight in the kitchen which was simply amazing). I think this movie is overrated and part 1 is vastly superior. 6/10

I watched The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and it was horribly boring shite. I admittedly came into it with limited Hunger Games exposure (which had failed to sell me on the series) but even if this was meant to be the slow, character-driven one they are doing it wrong. Scenes and monologues are basically repeated wholesale. The characters' motivations are garbage and they barely determine the action. The movie's internal logic completely collapses in on itself and the whole thing comes across as barely thought out. It is poorly paced, poorly scripted and criminally boring. Avoid. 2/5

Seems I'm WAAAAYYYYY behind talking about the movies me and co workers have been watching each month. I think the last one I mentioned was Guardians of the Galaxy back in August.
In September we watched Maze Runner. I have to say I wasn't a particularly big fan of this movie. And have no desire to see the other 2 now. Though some of the guys and gals did like it and look forward to the next parts so I may get to see them anyway. I found the characters boring. The pacing bad. And the plot not knowing where it wants to go. Especially near the end. The actual maze parts were not bad and the visuals were good. I just didn't feel it. 04/10
In October we watched Dracula the Untold Story. This movie wasn't bad. It was very predictable IMO and many of the better scenes were shown in commercials but all in all I thought it was a decent "super hero-ish" take on the legend. It set itself up for a sequel but unless there's nothing better on when it comes out I doubt I'll be voting to watch it. 06/10
In November we watched Dumb and Dumber To. This movie was absolutely hilarious! Much better than I thought it'd be. I remember enjoying and laughing at the 1st movie but no where like in this one. Though the group experience/laughter might have helped it a lot too. I HIGHLY recommend this one. Jim Carrey is back to doing the only thing that he's good at IMO. Don't get me wrong. I can't really stand him as a person from what I hear about him. But he can do comedy! 10/10
This Monday we watched The Hunger Games MockingJay Part 1. I had never seen any of these movies so I watched the 1st 2 soon before. The 1st movie didn't impress me much. It was okay but the characters didn't seem to have life. I attribute it to being shell shocked due to their situation though so it may be intentional.
The second one I found to be much better. The characters really came to life in this one. The Hunger Games itself was more enjoyable to watch this time.
The 3rd one: Well, most of us didn't seem to care much for it. But I thought it was pretty good. I didn't see where all the logic fell in on itself like our last reviewer before did. I thought it built the rebellion up quite nicely. I don't know if I like the direction the Peeta story had nor it's influence. Katness seems quite obsessed at this point. And I kept wanting her actual boy friend to just ask "So, um... are we still a couple?" All in all I think the next part will tell me if I really liked this part. It feels like the only point of this movie was to build the momentum for the next one. 07/10
Any suggestions for January's movie? Nothing really looks like it'll be standing out to me. We don't want to sit for a 3 hour movie with Hobbit after work. Taken 3 will be out and I loved part 1. Haven't seen part 2 but a third just feels like it's getting ridiculous.
If Interstellar is still playing by then I said we should watch it but I doubt it'll still be at that theater by then so I dunno.

Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno
A far better movie than the first, in my opinion. The opening is epic as all hell, the characters are perfect, and it's a great adaption that doesn't make the prior's mistake of squeezing too much stuff into its run time.
Well, it's a great adaption until the end, when it kind of falls off the rails. The giant Kyoto battle happens ahead of schedule (unless they're going to do ANOTHER one in the second movie), Kaoru gets kidnapped (which irritates me), and Kenshin fights a bunch of cameos before nearly drowning and washing up on a beach that Seijuro luckily was hanging out at on one of the rare jaunts he takes off his mountain? Still eager to see the next one next month, though.

Frozen
I know it was already released last year, but I haven't got chance to watch it until now... It's a awesome Disney movie. I should have watched last year, but better now than ♩let it go, let it go! Can't hold it back anymore! ♩

The salvation
The most western western to ever western, which is to say that it's very nice and entertaining in a very western way, but it's also not really original or distinctive in nearly any way, even if there is some Danish spoken in it. I liked the focus on realism and the shootout at the end was very good. Worth a watch if you like westerns.
The grand budapest hotel
A funny, offbeat and heartfelt comedy about a guy who fucks old people and steals a painting he already kinda owns. Very good and really makes me want to watch more Wes Anderson movies.

Yeah, Grand Budapest Hotel is like Anderson 101, in that it's a good starting point for people who want to go further down the rabbit hole. As far as where to go next, it kinda just depends on your tastes. The best two traditionally were Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, although I also give huge props to Fantastic Mr. Fox (his only not-live-action movie) and The Darjeeling Limited (which is kind of like him deconstructing his own style). However, do not, I repeat, do NOT make the next movie be The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, because it's really hard to get into until you're more familiar with how Anderson operates.

UselessLurker told me to watch this movie months ago and I finally got around to it.
Scanners
It's 1981, and the world's population contains a very small population of humans known as "scanners" who have grotesque telekinetic powers, which cause them to become social misfits and develop schizophrenia. A homeless bum named Cameron Vale is one of these scanners, and he is picked up by the mysterious Dr. Paul Ruth who teaches him how to control his powers. He is immediately tasked with a mission to bring down a rogue scanner named Darryl Revok, who is trying to bring down Dr. Ruth's company and its operations.
Anyone who has been on the internet for at least a good amount of time has seen at least one scene from this movie (this one (http://i.imgur.com/fAcpYwh.gif), warning NSFW). That being said, there are quite a few iconic scenes in this movie that are a lot more impressive (although I can't go over them because they contain massive spoilers). The practical effects somehow manage to look both totally fake and really cool at the same time, inspiring both laughs and queasiness at the same time. I can't really describe the feeling. Another thing I have to give credit to is the movie's use of sound. You can never tell when you're getting a suspenseful music cue or if it's a scanner scanning someone. Sometimes it feels like the scanner is scanning you, and it's quite trippy. It manages to make moments that look like overacting actually feel like someone's head is about to explode.
Now I have to give you a fair warning before you watch this movie: the plot is ridiculous. I'm sure you probably guessed this already but it bears repeating, there are quite a few twists in the plot, and they're both cliche and nonsensical, one which involves an ability scanners have. And if you don't like people getting shot and lots of blood and bodies flying everywhere, you're not going to like this movie.
I, for one, loved it.
8/10

13 HOUR MOVIE MARATHON (YESTERDAY)
Into The Woods (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Byk9Is3TjY) Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed fairy tale musical finally makes it to the big screen after several aborted attempts. After spending the first half of the movie retelling of several famous fairy tales, things take a decidedly darker turn as the movie explores what happens after you get what you wish for. It's pretty good! I haven't seen the stage version but I could tell that there were some odd cuts/changes (some for time, some to make the movie less dark/more palatable for a Disney audience), but the movie still retains its essential darkness (at least as far as I can tell from reading about what was changed) and none of the changes ruins the movie, I think.
Big Eyes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xD9uTlh5hI) The real life story of a painter (Amy Adams) whose work was falsely claimed and sold by her husband (Christoph Waltz) as his own; her unique paintings (of giant-eyed, sad children) became a cultural phenomenon, selling millions of prints. For over a decade she was forced to lie to the entire world to keep up this charade, and was forced to spend the majority of her time in virtual isolation in her studio cranking out new paintings. This is also a pretty good movie! Adams and Waltz are great, and it's really nice to see Tim Burton reteaming with the screenwriters of Ed Wood, because this is easily the best Burton movie in a over a decade.
Top Five (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jejCmmawzLY) Written, directed, and starring Chris Rock, this movie is about a comedian who has to confront his past and present life and career when he spends a day in NYC being interviewed by a journalist (Rosario Dawson). This movie is fantastic, simply incredible. It's whip-smart and absolutely hysterical. I can't recommend this highly enough!
Wild (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2-GSqPyl0) Another true story type deals: following the death of her mother, her divorce, and years of drug abuse and self-destructive behavior, a Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) impulsively decides to hike over a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail (going from southern California to Washington state), alone, with no prior experience. An incredibly powerful, incredibly great movie. Witherspoon is simply incredible and now I really wanna start reading Cheryl Strayed's memoir that this was based on, and also her other writing.
The Hobbit: battle of five armies or something (no trailer for this) these Hobbit movies are so fucking frustrating because there's clearly a good/decent movie underneath all this stupid drawn out shit and weightless, terrible CGI sequences. It's such a depressing thing to watch, and I truly believe a good movie can be made of these three piles; the performances are there! Martin Freeman is great and Bilbo actually does have a whole arc, even though it's stretched out to the point of parody and hacked to pieces because of all the random irrelevant shit added in between.
Also I'm glad that Peter Jackson finally found a place for climax of the second movie (where Smaug attacks Laketown gets killed) by jamming it into the opening of the third movie. I guess this must be a new innovation in cinema like 48FPS and stuff, but it sure is weird jamming an ending of one movie into the first 10 minutes of a different movie! ¬_¬
Selma (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6t7vVTxaic) A historical drama about the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches spearheaded by Martin Luther King, Jr. This is the best movie of the year, easily. Intensely gripping, incredibly written, directed, and acted, and immensely emotionally powerful. I simply cannot recommend this movie enough. It is a movie whose message is not only incredibly relevant because of last year's striking down of key provisions of the Voting Rights act these marches achieved (the loss of said provisions have led almost immediately to incredibly restrictive voting registration limits that have overwhelmingly disenfranchised minority voters, all in the service of literally non-existent voter fraud), but also because of the events in Ferguson and elsewhere in the past few months. This is a movie everyone should see.

someone was busy watching really bad movies!!!
Meanwhile I watched
Hensel and gretel : A japanese movie about a man that gets lost in the woods and comes across a house filled with children and their "apparently" happy parents! Little does he know that the house is haunted and he too is now locked into a horror fairytale.
Maze Runner- It was both confusing and kinda weird, the ending had absolutely no payoff!!
I Origin- Researcher keeps bugging his religious wife about how GOD doesnt exist and hes gonna prove it, it had a basic good storylien involving researching eyes but it went nowhere fast!
TMNT - there is some semblant of a decent tmnt movie under all the bad cgi and awful dialogue, the sequence where they drop into the sewer and recreate the opening of the cartoon was great.
Dawn of the planet of the apes: Great movie, Caesar had a lot of weight and the movie had great pacing. I had to pick up subtitles for the sign language!
Boxtrolls -Incredibly underwhelming, Laika without Gaiman is almost nothing. even Paranorman was better.

Maze Runner- It was both confusing and kinda weird, the ending had absolutely no payoff!!
I was expecting that, so I read the three books in the series prior to watching the movie. They were just as, if not more, confusing as the movie. The whole story behind what's going on in the outside world and the whole WICKED experiment gets described in the second and third books, so it might pay off then. The third book was rubbish, so I hope the movie doesn't turn out the same way. It was as if I was reading Psycho-Pass 2 but in the form of a novel with the same pace and qualities as the anime.
tl;dr second movie will explain some of the confusing stuff, and the third book sucked ass.

I'm pretty sure this is considered a movie. If not, feel free to correct me.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Volume 7
The Unicorn VS Neo Zeong fight was HORRIBLE! I was expecting a super epic final battle, but instead I got something only a real life Newtype will understand. Also, last time I remember, I was watching Gundam, not Neon Genesis Evangelion. Though, the scene where the previous events of the Universal Century was fucking orgasmic, especially the part with the Big Zam.
Overall, I thought the movie was a train wreck. But it had sick Mobile Suit designs, so I'll let it slide.
