I watched KICK ASS, and with low expectations after having read the comic last week; but I was pleasantly surprised. Without the music and Hit Girl it would have been poor, but those two elements raised it above mediocrity.

I don't think I'd watch it again but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Kiki's Delivery Service

For some reason the video quality dropped for the animation during the credits. The whole movie was fine DVD rez but the end looked like VHS quality with no restoration or adjustments.

The Collector (1965)


Sounds great, added to my Netflix queue, thanks for the review.

Last one I saw was Nightmare City (1980)

From legendary Italian B movie director Umberto Lenzi comes this story about a city overrun by maniacs/crazies contaminated by atomic radiation. While sometimes deemed a zombie movie, it's not. The logic for the maniacs in the film makes absolutely no sense as they aren't hurt or killed by bullets except when they destroy the brain yet smashing their fingers in a door produces pain. The sfx are inconsistent, ranging from decent to downright laughable. The only real good thing about the movie was the score by Stelvio Cipriani.

The Fourth Kind

Genuinely disturbingly creepy film. If you're a passive movie goer it'll likely freak you out, if you're a cinephile you'lll notice some very interesting split screen work and some nice editing in places, and it'll also freak you out.

Possibly the only English Language movie that has ever gave me goose bumps.

Don't watch if you have an owl in your garden. :)

Essential viewing.

The Fourth Kind

Essential viewing.

Bumping it up. :)

Most recently watched "Radio". Not bad, but not great. Typical Disney-esque heart-string puller.

Iron Man 2 - about what I expected, not as good as the first, but still fun.

Bumping it up. :)

Make sure and post what you thought avilslare. You have one of the best and most ecclectic taste in movies on the whole forum, and so far I've tended to agree with your view on most things.

Last thing I watched was one half of "Golgo 13", a live version, not the anime, with Sonny Chiba. I hate watching a movie in 2 goes but I had no choice, i got interrupted. It was typical Sonny Chiba fare.

Well, thanks Doc. And I will definitely be sure to post my thoughts on the film. Today I received the film laguu11 reviewed earlier The Collector as well as a movie called Superstition (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By_BQCUR-aM).

Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Weird. Weird. It's an actual rock opera adapted from a stage production. Best way I can describe it is The Rocky Horror Picture Show crossed with a particularly bad choreographed car crash with an emo rock soundtrack.

It had Anthony Head (Giles from Buffy), Paul Sorvino, Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Sarah Brightman, and Bill Moseley singing. I mean, Paul Sorvino singing!?
Sarah had the best song and scene and moment of pathos; she played a Faustian diva which appealed to me (if you hadn't guessed by my name).

I still don't know if I liked it.

Weird.

Trailer for the curious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzgpU25C6fg

Red Eye. Love that movie, not least because of Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy's performances! :D

Repo! The Genetic Opera.


I'm a definite fan of Repo! For how amazingly bizarre it is, I think Bousman did a great job. Give it another view (or two) and it may grow on you Faustus.

A couple nights ago saw Inception. Wow! What a mind ****! I'm definitely going to go see it again. If you love complex non-linear story lines, this one's for you. Chris Nolan does it again. Great movie!

Dazed and Confused.

A Richard Linklater film. It's one of those coming of age films where virtually nothing happens. :) I've saw it quite a few times and it never gets old.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I should have been called Ferris Bueller's Day On because of all the neat-O stuff he did.

Superstition (1982) - Despite the main character being a wimpy bookworm priest and some shoddy sfx, there were actually some decent things about the film. I felt the death scenes were edited and performed well and I enjoyed the few period flashbacks in the movie. But besides that the last half hour is a mess and makes little to no sense. A case of ain't half bad but ain't half good either.

Small Solders - Still a decent movie after all these years.


Watching:
Star Trek (2009) - A damn fine movie, screw the old fans...this was a great was to make a reboot.

Spider.

It arrived today in the mail. David Cronenberg film. Great acting from quite a small cast. It's very slow and won't hold everyones attention. If you have ever considered watching it please don't read anything about it, go into it totally blind. Very good.

A couple nights ago saw Inception. Wow! What a mind ****! I'm definitely going to go see it again. If you love complex non-linear story lines, this one's for you. Chris Nolan does it again. Great movie!

Saw this yesterday too, and feel the same way! Loved it! :D

Watching:
Star Trek (2009) - A damn fine movie, screw the old fans...this was a great was to make a reboot.

The wonders of time travel and altering set timelines... It was ok, but I didn't really like the cast tbh (Except Karl Urban, he was brilliant as Bones). Also add in

A cadet fresh from the academy, about to get drummed out, ends up becoming the Captain of the Enterprise at the end of the movie ?!? Kirk Fact#1: After graduating he served on the USS Farragut, NOT the USS Enterprise (which was commanded first by Robert April and then Christopher Pike).

However how the story was done involving the aforementioned 'altering set timelines', it was ok. Wonder what the sequel will have... The Borg? Q? Dominion?

Watched Con Air. John Malkovich fits the role of villain very well.

The Forbidden Kingdom

Staring Jet Li & Jackie Chan. But the main character was a wimpy white boy who got pulled through time!



Jet Li pees on Jackie Chan.

The Collector (1965) - Story about an eccentric yet disturbed young man with a lot of money to burn who kidnaps a woman and keeps her captive in effort for her to fall in love with him. No torture porn here, she has everything she wants and needs, except for freedom. Great acting from both main characters. Shot in that old school Hollywood style where the close-ups are very bright and sparkly. Ending was sad and unexpected.

The Meaning of Life.

Do ya think this Yoshi's Island commercial was a reference to it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-fbWgDwUKY

Harold and Maude (1971)

Love story (comedy) about a 79 year soon to be 80 year old woman and a 19 year old boy. Need I say more? I must admit I've never seen anything quite like it.

Inception - very good too

Just finished watching Do The Right Thing (1989 ) again, about an hour ago. It's a Spike Lee movie so the politics are hammered home like a sledge hammer but it was still great. The best thing Spike has ever made.

TMNT

It really isn't all that bad a movie. It's turtles after all, you should already have an idea what to expect since nothing really ever changes with these characters besides the plot line.

Would have been even better if it was longer, had as much Don & Mike as Raph & Leo, taken longer to return to status quo.

After all, a story that takes place after the ultimate evil has been defeated and the heroes aren't sure what to do with their lives or what their group dynamic should be with no thread to keep them together is a pretty untouched area.

TMNT was an ok movie, could've been better I guess.

Last watched Major League.

Cant remember...can't remember.... Oh crap, it was Twilight Eclipse! I don't like Twilights, but I had chance to see it some days before it actually came out. (sister won tickets) Anyway, it was better than first ones.

The Thomas Crown Affair.

The GOOD one with Steve McQueen. The sound was in mono and was clipping near the end at one point, and the master that the dvd was from was in serious need of a clean-up. But still, a good film... mostly. :)

last one i saw is resident evil afterlife --- the trailer. kekeke

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger: The Fateful War

I wasn't aware that something 20 minutes long could be considered a movie...

Oh Japan~ Kyoryu origami is pretty cool (and insanely phallic), so I can't really complain.

Smoking Aces:

Decent movie, was expecting a little more give the hype around it.

The Terminator

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger vs. Go-onger GinmakuBang!!

Now THIS was a movie :D :D :D No CGI zords like in the MMPR movie. Instead we have awesome strategies and hilarious moments resulting from the combined cast. Of course mutual understandings are reached~

And yes, oh my god YES, they combined both clusterfucks!!! Not like in a new, single form, but hey, that's not possible, anyway. It was just cool to have them tease the idea and say:

Samurai Formation 23

Plus, there's even a dance number ^__________^ Loved this one, big time.

Smoking Aces:

Decent movie, was expecting a little more give the hype around it.

When it came out the reviews pretty much cast it in a negative light

The Great Escape.

Do I even need to say how awesome this film always is?

Kung Pow!: Enter the Fist.

Best motherfucking action kung-fu fighting movie in the whole motherfucking world.

Nail Gun Massacre, one of the best horror movies I have seen

Cinema Snob sent you this route, didn't he? :D

I saw the Boondock Saints 2. What a flop.

Alice In Wonderland (Disney)

While not a favorite it's still a good movie.

Alice in Wonderland (Disney) - the recent one or Alice in Wonderland (Disney) the classic one? Because there are two.

KILL BILL Vol. 1

The damn subtitles was manual for some reason.

I love the classic Disney animated Alice in Wonderland. The Tim Berton was good enough to be a Blu-ray purchase.

Last new movie I saw wes Domino followed by Kick-ass again. Later today on my lunch break I'll be picking up Date Night so I can swoon over Tina Fey through out the length of the movie whilst eating Cheesy Blasters.

Thanks, Meatcat!

The Fourth Kind - I wish I had been able to follow this film more closely as it had been released as some of the mystique of the film is lost now that the alleged events the film was based off of are now publicly known as conjecture. I feel the film outdoes The Blair Witch Project with its 'real footage'. Great use of distortion in such scenes. The film reminded me a lot of Mothman Prophecies, to the point where I thought it was directed and/or written by the same person. The creepy events are laced well with a haunting score and the performances are very well done by both reenactment actors and the people portrayed in the 'real life' footage.

I wasn't aware of anything before I went into it, and I haven't saw the Mothman Prophecies so it felt fresh to me.

Throughout the viewing I was unsure if the old footage was actually real or not, which added a great deal to the tension.
Also I loved how the split screen effect was used, the black line that separated the two times/places/people was never stationary; it was shaky, as if the very frame itself was uneasy and unable to define the boundries between truth and fiction.

I wasn't aware of anything before I went into it, and I haven't seen the Mothman Prophecies so it felt fresh to me.


I hadn't much knowledge of the film either and a comparison with The Mothman Prophecies is very much a compliment to the film.

Truly, Madly, Deeply

Alan Rickman is a ghost who's haunting is girlfriend. It's basically Ghost but slower and British.

Dinner for Schmucks - A unique but very simple and cliche story with a great cast. I didn't laugh as much as I had hoped but I'm sure I'll find it a lot funnier when I can watch it by myself when the dvd comes out.

Inception

I did not like the rhythm of the movie, it was like adrenaline pumping for 30 min or more at the end and I did not get a good feel of the "time difference" and thought they could've done a lot more with the music (I am growing to be so picky, sorry). Great cast, though. Ellen Page from Hard Candy, Cillian Murphy from Sunshine, but most of all, Joseph Gordon-Levitt from Brick and The Lookout. The ending was very predictable for viewers who watch a lot of movies with twists... This movie did not impress me half as much as Momento did... Then again, I've got strange taste. *Shrug*

The Expendables

God damn. The only marks I really have against this after the first viewing are a mere two(ish) instances of shitty CG blood, and minor ones at that. You might say some of the casting is just done for shallow "ooh look who we got" appeal, especially the "small" cameos, but that's still part of the movie's draw and it's damn cool to see. In terms of just being a fun action movie, which is really all it needed to be - this thing delivers in spades.

Scott Pilgrim film was all kinds of crazy good. Thrilled there's finally a weekend of movie releases I really care about, it's been too long.

Glad you liked both of them. ^^ I have to say I am totally hoping they do a version of The Expendables with a lady action star cast and have Sigourney Weaver be the movie's ultimate badass.

I am hoping I can see Scott Pilgrim next week, I pretty much never get to see movies during weekends unless I am willing to go along. I have heard a lot of good things about Michael Cera in it, which makes me happy since he was what I was most concerned about.

Yeah I didn't mind him at all. I think it turned out great, and Wright's directing is so fun to watch. He's so good, I wish he could churn out movies more often. I guess a handful of really good ones spaced out is better than quick ones that are hit and miss though.

Open Your Eyes (1997)
Abre los ojos

Interesting main character (very dis-likable) and world structure in this film. Open-ended endings are always a good thing in my world.

I enjoyed that film. You know Hollywood remade it? As...

Vanilla Sky. It had Tom "the scientology dwarf" Cruise. Abre los ojos was the better version IMO

I was going to watch Vanilla Sky and then found out that it was a Hollywood remake, so I watched the original instead.
-------------

Just watched Godsford Park (2001)

Excellent piece of cinema. Lots of information and undercurrents going on all the time. I actually found all of the characters charming in their own ways.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Oh my god you guys I just saw the greatest movie! It's pretty much the best adaptation of 1 thing to another ever. Everyone in the cast was brilliant and the problem I have with most adaptations of not getting the right actresses for the girl characters is not in this movie! I loved who they picked for Ramona, Kim, & Knives. And while it was very fast passed all the main characters got enough time to feel like real people.

The only problems I have with it are: Ramona was kinda wimpy and passive, The clash at demonhead being so condensed especially Envy Adams role, & Kim Pine's whole history with Scott getting just a quick breeze over.


But other than that I have to say all the changes and original stuff I loved enough to at the very least not hate it. (kinda like loving parts of the english bud of an anime even though the original Japanese is better.)
The music is pure audio fun, I didn't expect to hear Zelda tunes in this and seeing that they got several of the songs Brian Lee O'Malley mentioned as inspiration or just tracks he'd have play if it was a cartoon is joy.
And the alternate ending is a bit more satisfying than the book's simply because it had a clear statement even if it's a bit diffract than the ones suggested by the books.

"I'm A Little Bi-Furious!"

Evil Laugh (1988) - Another addition in the long line of 80s slasher cheese comes this film about a group of medical interns who begin getting killed off one by one as soon as they set foot in a supposedly haunted house. Low production values mar the movie overall with bad audio, video and sfx. Honestly if there had been more money to throw around, I think it could have been an 80s classic rather than the easily forgotten mess it resulted in.

Walk Hard:The Dewy Cox Story.


Jack Black played Paul McCartney.

Toy Story. It's been a long time. Haven't yet seen Toy Story 3 though-- probably won't be able to until it's on DVD.

A-Team. Big. Dumb. Fun. :)

Afterwards I watched UP for the first time. It was great.
The Pixar guys acheived in a 5 minute montage near the beginning of the movie what other movies fail to do in 90 minutes.

I've got Saving Private Ryan, Burn After Reading, T2, & Ponyo on cue.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

Dinner for Schmucks

A Single Man - This film can be described in one word, poetic. A beautiful period piece taking place in the 1960s. The strongest aspects being the production design and cinematography. First time director Tom Ford does an intriguing and meticulous job with the look and feel of the movie with great use of sound (or absence of), well used slow-motion, and color scheme. Colin Firth does a wondrous job as George Falconer, an English professor dealing with the ongoing depressions of the death of his lover. Well written and highly recommended.

Ponyo

While it's by no means my favorite Miyazaki movie it's a very cute tail (fish tail that is!)
and the animation is simply gorgeous I would have been happy with just Liam Neeson exploring cartoon deep sea creatures. I liked the english voice cast, even if some of them aren't pro voice actors they still did a good job.

Japanese Tina Fey Milf!

Tron (1982)

Love the grainy computer world look and the costume design. Personally not planning on seeing the one coming up as most movie sequels disappoint me.

T2 Judgment Day

Batman: Under the Red Hood.

The character designs were interesting and it was a lot more violent than previous soutings but NO MARK HAMILL nor KEVIN CONROY. Fail.

I hear that Mark Hamill has retired from doing the Joker but he Arkham Asylum game was just too much fun for him to pass up and he hints that he'll do just 1 more game and the script is very good. Good enough for one final performance.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

I thought it was very good. And nice to see a movie with no CGI.

Be WARNED, it has some uncomfortable to watch sexual violence.

Hook.................. Aw yaaaaaaaa..........

Saving Private Ryan.

Rather Brutal and kinda surreal to see Ted Danson, Paul Giamatti, & the dad form Malcolm in the middle in a serious movie.

Scott Pilgrim! And I didn't expect to like it but it's a pretty good flick ~

Have you read the books?

Nope. =/

hot fuzz.
its FUCKING AWESOME

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - A very well done mystery with exciting characters and a compelling storyline. I can't wait for the next two films in the series to come out in the US though I am a bit worried the remake (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1568346/) will not nearly live up to the original.

Final fantasy: Advent Children Complete.

If you liked this film at all in it's first release then you'll like the new edition even more. 20+ minutes of new footage, and mostly it's moments of pathos and reconcilliation which the film originally lacked. Much improved version, that makes more sense and while still suffering from pacing problems (the original pacing was a mess) is worth a repurchase; especially since it's less than �10 on blu.:)

I didn't know there was to be 2 more. I hope they retrain the same two protagonists.

I didn't know there was to be 2 more. I hope they retain the same two protagonists.

Yup the Swedish actress Noomi Rapace who played Lisbeth Salander reprises her role in the other two films The Girl Who Played with Fire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216487/) and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343097/). It seems the actor who played Mikael Blomkvist will also be reprising his role in both films.

The Wizard of Gore (1970) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSTKuzc7Pw) - A grindhouse flick about a creepy magician who performs gory acts of violence on audience members only to return them to their seats presumably unharmed. But when these same audience members end up dead after the act, a local newspaper reporter becomes suspicious. Many components of the film are shoddy including the camerawork, much of the sfx, acting and pacing. But there is definitely an allure to the film with its buckets of blood approach and sleazy characters. While I enjoyed the goriness, the storyline just never added up to anything with the ending leaving me completely puzzled.

Blood: The Last Vampire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV5ukdJFGJQ) - Oof where do I start? This film could have been great instead it turned out to be one of the worst adaptations I have ever seen. It just felt uninspired and rushed. The CG looked like crap and there was way too much of it. The story was confusing and the action sequences were poorly shot and edited. Stay far, far away from this one.

The Wizard of Oz - For film studies class, we had to watch this. I just now realized that Dorothy didn't actually overcome the (in my opinion) more important obstacle of finding a way to keep Toto from being taken by Miss Gulch (the woman with the bicycle), because she had a sheriff's order to take the dog away. I mean, what's the point of going through Oz when some rich woman is going to euthanize your best friend tomorrow??

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Definitely weird, but good. Started out a bit slow for me, but I thought it really picked up and ended well. Oh, and excellent score and soundtrack & a nice look to the film.

I've never read the original book, though I probably should sometime...

Just back from The Expendables. Testosterone overload. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Expendables

Spoony was 100% right. I couldn't follow the action for shit. That fight in the hallway was like 5 minutes of action in which I had no idea who was doing what. Dolph should have beat Sly's ass for writing him a part that had him being monosyllabic.

INSECT.....I can haz Oscar now?

And Statham talking about his relationship troubles in the middle of a mission. That wins the award for worst subplot attempt EVER.

Sly can do so much better than this. When did he turn into Michael Bay? I mean, seriously. Jesus, the whole thing was horrible ;;

Time Bandits.

Directed by Terry Gilliam it stars Kenny Baker (R2-D2), John Cleese, Sean Connery, David Warner as satan in a face hugger hat, Ian Holm as Napoleon, & Tony Jay as the voice of god.

It's a dark children's comedy that's very Monty Python-ish with kinda the same feel as The Marvelous Miss-adventures of Flapjack.

Wolverine.

Good. :p

No, I didn't really watch it, but I did finish a runthrough of the game, tonight. That counts, because I say it does.

Silverfox is a white girl and her sister is Emma Frost, Xavier can walk and is CGI, Deadpool is a pool of death, Blob isn't naturally fat but has an eating disorder because he was so depressed from Wolverine leaving the group, Cyclops & I think Storm are there for go good reason, there's no explanation for why Sniktbub is called Logan, it's just on his dogtags, and so on....

I don't care about any of that stuff. Hugh Jackman is in a wifebeater, and naked, and Ryan Reynolds is love.

Liev is really good, and so on...

Oh yeah, and BONE CLAWS GLOTY

The naked Sniktbub scene should have been longer, he's saposta trash the lab and kill almost everyone there, not break a door. I loved Reynolds Pool, I'd rather have him be doing Deadpool movies instead of a Green Lantern trilogy.

You get to kill a ton of guys in the lab/base in the game, if that's any consolation~

I realize perfectly well why anyone who cares about Deadpool in the least is upset with the movie. My fanboy goggles are just too thick. When I saw bone claws in the trailer, I was already sold

:noonecares:

The X-Files: Fight the Future - Been watching a lot of X-Files eps lately so I decided to view the first movie again after a few years and it still holds up. It has great action, intrigue, excitement and revelation. Also it includes some nice payoff for the fans of the series.

Now I can see why people complained so much about the 2nd film, I Want to Believe. It doesn't hold a candle to the first movie.

Avatar Special Edition

The Burning (1981) - The slasher classic in the same frame as Friday the 13th, a disfigured killer out for revenge. And while it's been proven that it was written before the production of Friday the 13th, it's still something I've seen a hundred times before. Killings on campground settings can be linked back to Mario Bava's Bay of Blood (1971) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067656/). On the plus side, some of the death scenes were pretty effective and I did have fun watching it but the whole idea just felt done before.

Arang - A Korean horror which seems at first to be a cookie cutter version of the whole female ghost with long black hair acting creepy and killing people thing but then turns out to have a nice twist to it. But the actors seem bored and the music does nothing to heighten the scenes of horror or drama.

I didn't mind the Wolverine movie too much. There are some goofy parts (wouldn't we all be happy to never see another skyward scream?) and yeah, the adamantium injection/bonding scene didn't feel like it had enough weight to it, but I was entertained overall. That's one of those movies that people ragged on me for being ok with, which really pisses me off. I hate the idea that any one person is right or wrong about whether or not a movie is "good" or "bad" - it's all up to the individual.

I stopped being interested in reviewing movies soon after having to deal with that. When I tried to start again with Iron Man 2 one of the same friends that was a jerk about me liking a certain movie last year rubbed it in my face yet again because I had some problems with IM2. The "you liked that but not this? You are stupid. You have bad taste." attitude. Ruined it for me all over again.

I don't think I would maintain any sanity as an actual popular reviewer, too many people would be all UR DUMB UR DUMB and I have no tolerance for that :( Even in small portions it makes me want to shell up and disappear forever.


Expendables

Spoony was 100% right.

Oh no :(

I think he was right in that the end action was too quickly edited, kind of like the fast bit of bar action in Inglorious Basterds post tense-build up, but I didn't find it hard to tell what was going on.

Other points of his were easily off base, like the validity of the major Rourke scene being the primary one in my mind, but eh, like I said in my piddly review, it's definitely a love it/hate it movie, very polarizing. The 2008 Rambo was much the same in that regard. I think that was maybe a better movie but this one was more fun.

For me, and stuff

I enjoyed it. having Leonardo DiCaprio wonder if it's better to accept what happened and live as a murderer or get brain dead as a tragic hero makes me think he really did kill his wife, but there's still much that doesn't feel right about that. Of course that's how it's meant to be I'd guess.

Ya, well.... Where did you get those clothes, at the toilet store?

Night Train (1959) - B&W Polish film about a man and a woman inexplicably brought together in a train's sleep car while a murderer is on the loose. Beautifully shot and thought-provoking imagery highlights this mystery. The characters and their motivations are the most interesting pieces of the film, especially the aforementioned couple. Though it's sad that the film's intrigue is shattered at the climax. A lot of the film is obviously filmed on a stage but much is actually filmed on a moving train. The timing of certain shots seems almost impossible yet the director successfully pulls them off.

Lilo & Stitch

solomon kane.
it was a great movie! having said that, as great as it was, i didnt quite enjoy it that much. i wont see it again unless its picked for a reunion

I just finished watching One Week with Joshua Jackson.It was pretty good

Visitor Q - Shocking story of a dysfunctional family brought together (or broken apart) by a mysterious visitor named Q. Not only is the directing style daring by Takashi Miike but performances of the actors as well. I can best sum up the movie as completely disturbing and absolutely hilarious at the same time.

My condolences.

Repossessed. Send up of the Exorcist movies with Leslie Nielsen as Father Jedidiah Mayii and Linda Blair. Stupid and funny...

Game Boys.

Not as good as Cheap, and the game references are WAY WAY WAY overdone, but it's a fun movie. Seeing Brad in normal clothes is worth the price of admission. Wait....

Kick-Ass - Mildly amusing, mostly annoying. Slick action but a cliche storyline in the later half. Terrible acting all around as well.

All My Friends Are Funeral Singers - Finally got around to watching this and I enjoyed it. It's a nice experimental and quite humorous film from the band Califone's frontman Tim Rutili. It's was refreshing to see a film without much of a formula. It was also nice seeing a favorite of mine, Angela Bettis, back in action on film. Not only is the music great but I also appreciated the sets and costumes.

Leviathan - Pretty much the same movie as Deep Star Six but also reminded me of Alien and The Thing. It kept my interest pretty well and despite some awful creature design and sfx, there were a few good gross out moments. Though the ending felt very rushed and completely cheesy.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 Disney)

Would have been even closer to perfection if the gargoyles were underplayed, but Tony Jay alone makes this great.

Great comedy, but then Mel Brooks is comedy gold

Ratatouille.

Was gonna watch The Watchmen but my sister's friends to their sweet time showing up and I needed something shorter.

Better get the ultimate cut, bro. You needs your Black Freighter action~

Resident Evil Degeneration.

Not bad... have the urge to play Resident Evil again.

Iron-Man 2

to kako
a greek zombie film that is so HILARIOUSLY cheesy.

" oh hai! im a zombie and im gonna sneak up on you to eat your toes while youre distracted getting your other leg licked by that guy who you disliked the rest of the flim"

In the theater it was The Expendables. I thought the film was over the top fun. Just a popcorn movie, but that was what I had expected. If we're talking any movie at any time, it was "9" this afternoon on cable. Sad ending, but great effects.

The Little Mermaid

Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_k8oaeHsnc&has_verified=1)

Documents a spiritual journey undertaken by a number of people. Only really makes sense if you have a working knowledge of the Occult/Tarot/Kabbalah etc. I understood less than half of what the imagery was supposed to represent. Also, it was fun to see the actors tripping their ass off on psilocybin mushrooms during the death-rebirth scene. Jodorowsky definitely has a good eye for a shot.

Beauty and the Beast (1991 Disney)

Tetsuo: Iron Man. (Dir. Shinya Tsukamoto) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uROMTzJsfOI)

I first saw this about 10 years ago, and no matter how many times I see it, it still amazes.
It’s shot on 16mm B/W film, with stop motion and time lapse effects alongside the usual live action, and only lasts about an hour. It does have a plot, but it’s the machine meets flesh imagery that lingers.
And it has a great industrial soundtrack by Chu Ishikawa.

If weird Japanese experimental cinema appeals, you’ll love it.

New York, I Love You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5katNrnYb8U)

11 short films that explore love, all by different directors, all loosley connected, and all set in NY.
Very similar to the previous film, Paris, je t'aime, which I really liked.
New York, I Love You started really good but gradully the stories began to get less interesting.
There is no real beginng/middle/end, just lots of middle. A nice idea though.

It's the second film of the Cities of Love series, with hopefully more to come (Rio and Shangai are planned).

Sherlock Holmes, with Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law. Not a bad movie, definitely entertaining.

Sweeney Todd

nekromantik.
damn, all the talk about this controversial movie hyped me up, so i torrented it, and it fucking sucks.

Tango & Cash - good ol' action movies.

Casablanca - Amazing just amazing, it's the 2nd time I watch this film.

Un Dollaro Bucato - Classic Spaghetti Western, as always fun.

Carry On Jack. Classic saucy British comedy.

Mulan

Here's a synopsis:
Oh Mulan, Honor.
Oh Mulan, Dishonor.
OH Mulan, Great Honor!
OH Mulan, Great Dishonor!
OH Mulan, Greatest Honor of all!

Evolution.

Date Night - Laughed. My. Ass. Off. I was a bit wary since I thought it might be a huge letdown but I was completely wrong. The car crash scene was a bit much but besides that I had a great time.

Ditto, loved Tina Fey in this <3 For some reason though the initial commercials had me thinking that she was some kind of street-smart hooker and Steve Carell was just a helpless Jon caught in the middle of a bad situation.

Mezame no Hakobune

Dir. by Mamoru Oshii. It lasts only 35 mins and is less concerned with narrative as it is about mood. It's split into 3 parts with the 3rd part being the best, and most easily understood. Music was by Kenji Kawai, and was very similar to his other Oshii colaboration, Ghost in the Shell. If you're a fan of either of the two creators it may be of interest. Just don't expect a normal film experience. You have to work out the message yourself.

Atlantis the Lost Empire.

It's Avatar but better. Josh whedon co-wrote the story.

Date Night

Again. This time with friends. Still hilarious.

Beyond the Darkness (1979) - Italian horror classic from Joe D'Amato about a wealthy young man who has trouble letting go when his girlfriend dies. Some nice gross out scenes including an embalming, severed limbs, gouged eyes, and guts in a bucket. There's really no need to complain about the lack of story here since the gore is the true highlight. Also a nice heaping of nudity.

Don't Look Up - An American film directed by Fruit Chan (Dumplings) based on the Japanese film Joyu-Rei (Ghost Actress) directed by Hideo Nakata. I would much rather see the original than this garbage. It's completely uninteresting, there's way too much bad cgi and rarely a creepy moment (I only counted three and that's debatable).

Monsters Inc.

The Expendables It isn't as bad as they say nor good as they say.

It's average and funny.

Mickey Rourke completely stole the movie & I was actually dissapointed about the little participation Dolph Lundgren had.

Yojimbo - Great story. Refreshing to see a film that I had to really pay attention to and think about. Nice comedy and loved the music.

The Fall (Dir. Tarsem Singh)

Eye candy with some plot. Someone got some very expensive wide angle lenses for their birthday and made every shot look epic. From the same guy that did "The Cell" with J-Lo. Liked it, eventually, after initial mixed feelings.

Batman & Robin

Cobra I've watched this for the first time in my life. Kinda darker than I expected. Good fun Movie.

Taken

Neeson is better with a gun than he ever was with a lightsaber. Fast paced. Great acting by all the cast. Recommended. :)

Scarface

resident evil 4.

i would watch it again... when i can DL a dvd rip from the internet

I watched Batman/Superman: Public Enemies.

It was great. Filled with fan service cameos and the dialogue between Supes & Bats was really funny at times.
Enjoyed it much more than the recent Under the Red Hood (which was just uggh).


I'll give you a guess what I just watched this afternoon.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Christ on a crutch, it was abysmal. The direction, the editing and the cinematography were all piss poor.

Who buys this crap?*

And they made more after this.

*Actually, I did. I got 3 movies for �2, and I still feel ripped off!

Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Christ on a crutch, it was abysmal. The direction, the editing and the cinematography were all piss poor.


Yeah actually saw this when it came out in theaters. Because of how awful it was, I have yet to see Extinction nor Afterlife and have no plans to.

Pocahontas

While it's not a bad movie it's not one of my favorite Disney films. Most of the main cast are rather dull with little personality compared to any of the other "princess/prince" couples, I think it's mainly cause it's historical whereas Disney's other movies are based off of fairy tales or books. Plus they made the Indians all noble and stoic so they didn't have as much personality as say Christan Bale's character.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - First off, I did not play the game of the same name so I can't name any inaccuracies but maybe that's for the better. I'll admit that the first five minutes felt a bit rushed and didn't impress me but as the movie went along it got better. There's nice action and especially adventure throughout the film and while there are definite plot holes and too many Dawson's Creek moments between Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Princess Tamina, I enjoyed it for the most part.

Also kudos to Richard Coyle who gives a complete 180 performance compared to his days on Coupling. I barely recognized him.

Planet Hulk. Not a bad adaptation from the Marvel Comics.

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc - While I enjoyed the beginning of the film with the story of young Joan, the rest of it with Milla Jovovich was hard to watch as she acted like a small child when she didn't get her way. There were some nice casting surprises for me such as Desmond Harrington in his first film role and Dustin Hoffman later on in the film but it just dragged on way too long and I was happy when it was over.

I saw another Milla movie also. Ultraviolet. It had some nice ideas but too much green screen and not enough plot. It set up an analogy with the Nazi / Jews situation in the first 5 minutes which it quickly dismissed. I made use of the stop button before the end came. Seems I've been watching nothing but crap lately, I'll have to find something good for my next viewing.

nekromantik 2.
to put it simply: WHAT IS THIS I DONT FUCKING EVEN

My Name Is Bruce

Starring (and Dir.) by the inimitable Bruce Campbell. Bruce plays himself, at the mercy of hicks who believe hs is in fact his film persona. Your enjoyment of this B-Movie is dependent largely on your view of Bruce.

"Consider yourself officially exempt from my wrath sweetcakes, and if you're lucky a little later I'll let you play with my boomstick. "

Devil - From a story written by M. Night himself comes this intriguing and well shot thriller. It pretty much all feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone, just more drawn out. Great cinematography especially in the first few minutes as well as some nice POV in the elevator. Well done directing as the unnerving tension really builds as it goes on. I feel Night redeemed himself a bit with this one after the atrocious Happening.

Whiteout - Kate Beckinsale stars as a U.S. Marshal investigating the first ever murder on the frozen lands of Antartica. While the extreme cold and weather conditions add a nice element of danger, they also destroy the action sequences, as it's hard to tell what's going on. The story, sadly, is the least interesting component to the film. The Cold War flashback that occurs in the first few minutes of the film was more interesting than the rest entirely.

Gladiator

It's not a bad movie but.... there's just something about it that's not as fun as it should be. Plus the historical inaccuracies; thumbs up/down instead of stab thumb/ closed hand and gladiators didn't always fight to the death.

GHOST WORLD

Nothing to do with ghosts. It was a story of friendship, love, and change. Very good. Really liked it.

Stars Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, and Steve Buscemi.

heroes verdaderos episodio independencia.

a mexican animated movie about the fight for independence in mexico.
it was good until they started singing. the most iconic moments were overshadowed by fucking songs.
i didnt want to hear hidalgo singing about the independence, i wanted to hear the legendary scream for independence (viva mexico)

Tekken

I was surprised at this movie. I thought it was going to be another Dragonball movie but instead it reminded me of the first Mortal Kombat movie. There was actually a story involved and the fighting scenes were done pretty well too.

I feel Night redeemed himself a bit with this one after the atrocious Happening.

Happening is a comedy, brah :)

Ol' black water, keep on rollin'~

Furngully.

Not so much as sat down and watched it, as let it play while I did stuff.

The Man Who Knew Too Much. Before I saw it, I thought it was about a guy who had way too much knowledge and either 1. went crazy, or 2. found a way to channel brainwave patterns to manipulate others into being his slaves. Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed. The movie has an insane music scene, though.

More like a cruel joke.

with awesome music.

Twilight Eclipse or whatever the newest one was.

It's free movie week and Shrek was sold out by the time we got there and that was the only other one.
The vampires don't have fangs and they're made out of rock so you smash them.

That movie could have been over in 5 minutes. Only one damn thing happens in it to move the plot along.

Plot should probably be in about 6 sets of quotation marks....

Enchanted. On Blu-Ray. Always good fun. Now I'm going back and playing the D-Files. I heard that they're making a sequel, I just hope it's decent.

Devil

This again but this time with friend. Still think it's great.

pathfinder.
the promotional poster is way, WAAAAY better than the whole movie

Iron Man 2 - It started off well establishing the villain and heads into some nice action but I felt the film had too much Tony Stark and not enough Iron Man. The second half of the film just didn't have that oomph that the first part had and I found the bickering between Stark and Pepper became annoying. I did enjoy it but not as much as the first one.

There's no such thing as too much Tony Stark.

To be honest, I find Iron Man to be boring as hell. It's all about that beautifully twisted man <3

the replacement of the black guy from a cool looking MOFO to some bald boring rwanda survivor really irked me.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) - A CBS Saturday night movie just released on dvd about a man wrongfully executed and the subsequent vengeful murders of the vigilante posse responsible. The restoration and dvd transfer is amazing. The first thing you really notice about the film is the incredibly effective score which reminded me a lot of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The deaths are tastefully done and edited extremely well, leaving it to your imagination. And while it's a horror film, it still retains a feeling of fantasy all the way to the finale. Well written, acted and directed. Highly recommended.

Conan the Barbarian

Could have used more Mako narration.

Play Misty for Me (1971) - Starring in his directorial debut, Clint Eastwood plays popular disc jockey Dave Garver who has a one night stand which becomes a nightmare. Nice acting from psycho bitch Jessica Walter who snaps at a moment's notice, clinging to Eastwood's character like a bad rash. For the most part I enjoyed it except for certain scenes that felt out of place like the date between Garver and his girlfriend Tobie which ended up with them making love and cuddling naked in the woods. And a jazz festival performance that had nothing to do with the story and ended up with more screen time than the characters. Other than that it was a great thriller.

My Fair Lady, for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel - I laughed a lot! They even gave sense to "The Final Countdown" Lyrics.

Black Death

Iron Man 2.

I just remembered Olivia Munn was in it.

Why did Rhodes take all the hammer weapons when he only put the minigun and bunker buster on it? The other weapons he took was an automatic psitol, a pump action shotgun, and an assault rifle none of which was used or fit onto the War Machine.

Sometimes a man just needs to have guns, brah~

Iron Man 2.

Weird. I watched this a few days ago and I don't remember her in it. Chess Roberts? Who? Though I did see her in Date Night.

District 9

I was expecting normal sci-fi by numbers but was surprised to see an almost Cin�ma v�rit� approach. And it had a CGI character that I genuinely cared about; I don't recall that ever happening outside of a fully animated film. Very good film. I look forward to the inevitable sequel.

SHould be fun to see what they'll do to the "Alien Invasion" movie. There's gonna be a lot of those coming out, Battle LA, 2 possible Independence Day sequels, that one with Turkleton from Scrubs and the vacuum ships, 2 others I've heard about.

Saw Shrek 4. Once again a Shrek movie that doesn't excel at anything but isn't really terrible with some funny moments and a 2 or 1 genuine emotional bits.

Independence Day sequels

H. G. Wells didn't write a sequel to The War of the Worlds so they'll have to find something else to plunder and rape for their plot next time.

I'd hardly call ID4 War of the Worlds. And what's up with Spielberg making his all Tom Cruse modern? Has there ever been a solid Victorian period War of the Worlds?

There are many similarities between WoW and ID4, the most obvious being the
invading force arriving and doing nothing for a while and eventually being defeated by a virus

I've not seen Spielberg's. I can't stand his happy sugar coated endings, so I avoid his work unless I'm forced to watch it (Schindlers List is exempt from this judgement, it's really good). I'd love to see a proper Victorian period version, too. :)

if you havent seen jurassic park, then you should, just because the main cast survived doesnt mean its a happy ending.
john hammonds dream is crushed forever and you can see it in his eyes.
although, he dies in the novel, but i like the movie better there because he lives to see everything he did turn to nothing.

I should have mentioned Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I love those, too. I think that's it.
I saw Jurassic Park. It doesn't make my good list.
I know I'm going to get some serious fanboy hatred now. I've got my fanboy proof vest on. Fire away suckas!!!

Didn't Spielberg also do Saving Private Ryan? I wouldn't call that Saccharin at all.

please explain why you didnt like jurassic park, THE movie of the first half of the 1990's, while i prepare the cerebral bore.

very few spielberg movies have "sugar coated" endings, really.

as for me, didint "saw", im currently watching titanic.
the amount of propaganda and stereotyping here is overwhelming.

Is it a crime to dislike some of Speilberg's films? Colour me guilty.


please explain why you didnt like jurassic park

No.

I didn't like it because I was dragged to it, and well Dinosaurs have a way of being boring to me.

Thank god there was that dragon thrown in the mix to save Zyuranger ;)

Last movie I saw was Silverado. 'Twas okay.

The Page Master.

Even if you don't want to see the whole movie (which is pretty short) you still should look up Leonard Nimoy's scene as Dr. Jekyll & Mister Hyde.

:) Yeah, I saw The Pagemaster a while back.


Beauty and the Beast on the new Diamond Edition. Nice stuff. I'm looking forward to watching all the special features.

The Human Centipede: First Sequence - A lot of hype surrounding this film and while it's not great, I did enjoy it. There are many nice cringe-worthy moments especially in the surgery scenes. The acting is poor but that's not as important as the goal of the film, the human centipede, which is delivered. The story is simple and the ending is lackluster but I appreciate the film nonetheless for its sheer gall.

i think the human centipede is one of those movies i am actively going to try not to see
i can't handle hostel or saw movies either

anyway i saw The Social Network
Pretty good and interesting. I wasn't bored at all. 8/10. Good acting. I had the soundtrack built up for me before I saw it, and I expected a lot more in terms of music.

Dracula 1931 with B�la Lugosi

It's been many years since I've watched it and I have to say for a movie that's under 1 hour and 15 minutes it's very slow and is rather anticlimactic.

The last film I saw was True Romance and I highly recommend it. I liked it very much; a lot better than Natural Born Killers imo.

Halloween

Dial M for Murder


I lol'd, but dear goodness are the scenes long.

The Hills Have Eyes. The remake. Can I have the 45 minutes I invested in this back?

Both Iron Man and Iron Man 2 in one sitting. No critical analysis of either, I just found them both enjoyable.

I'm about to watch Sintel.

Coraline

Great animation.
I liked the original characters and thought the story was better with them.
Surprised no video game was made for it because it's very survival horror but for kids.

thera IS a coraline videogame.
for wii, 360, ps2 and handhelds.

but theres a very good reason you didnt know existed.

Let the Right One In

From Dusk Till Dawn 3

Better than I was expecting. Better than the 2nd one but not as good as the 1st. The way the characters' stories all connect is well done.


Coraline

Still haven't seen this. :( I've got the novel and the graphic novel so chances are good I'll like the movie.

Jacob's Ladder

Let Me In - I didn't start liking the movie until maybe 40 minutes in but the acting is well done and I'm glad they didn't go overboard with the 80s references. There's definitely something lost in the translation such as the subtlety of the original and the digital effects kind of bugged me. I mean they looked good but just felt a little out of place. I still would recommend people see the original first.

Pandora's Box. A great movie.

Neil Gaiman wrote it first as a novel. It's a kids novel so it's very easy to read. Then it was adapted into a graphic novel. Is that what you mean by a manga? Or is there an actual black and white manga too?
