Last movie/film you watched?

[AlienEater]

Apres Vous

Daniel Auteil plays a wine expert at a restaurant who stops someone from committing suicide and then feels responsible and tries to help get his life on track. It's a vaguely black comedy that turns into a kinda romantic comedy. It had a fair amount of very embarassing moments and it was actually pretty good. Not really what I was expecting though

[thedeadwalk!]

If You were Me (Yeoseot gae ui siseon)

South Korean film composed of a handful of shorts by different directors addressing human rights issues facing the country...oddly enough sponsored by the government.

Some of the shorts deal with things that are about universally identifiable, like weight problems, neglect to the handicapped, and abuse towards women, but, also, more localized ones like surrounding languages that are similar enough to be confused with your own that lead to problems, or learning to speak English in your own home country.

Overall, they were pretty good. I think, outside of their culture, reception could be mixed to its rather over-the-top scenarios, especially dealing with women's looks. But, at the same time, it's not done in the quite so usual fashion. There's no real melodramatic bad ending for the stories, which, to me, further drives the message home. And, often times, there is some dark humor in them. One that really speaks for the whole film is the story involving a man with cerebral palsy, or something similarly, which the actor actually has. There are moments throughout where his actions are misinterpreted and he is hindered rather than helped by those around him. Likewise, only those others who are similarly going through the same thing really understands how he feels, and grasps the problem.

This film helps put a global view on problems a lot of people face, but, also, local ones which may help outsiders understand problems they wouldn't otherwise see or know about. Also, there's one by the director from Oldboy based on a true story, for those of you interested.

7.5/10

I forget exactly what is was called "Son Of Frankenstein", anywho it starred the guy who played Willy Wonka on the original Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory and the monster was played by Frank from Everybody Loves Raymond. Overall, movie brought the lulz.

8/10
Young Frankenstein

[Danger Bird]

I like Labyrinth of the Faun better, which I believe is the direct literal translation.

Calling it Pan's Labyrinth is pretty retarded tbh

Well the direct translation would technically be The Labyrinth of the Faun, but there's no such thing as an "apostrophe s" in Spanish, so they use "of the" instead. So "El Laberinto del Fauno" could also be "The Faun's Labyrinth."

[antihippy]

beethoven 4.

love beethoven. 9/10

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - 10/10

Jack Nicholson is perfect in this in my opinion.

[Tillius]

I remember those movies.

Don't remember much after the second one.

I remember watching one, it might have been 4, with my little brother a long time ago, but I don't remember it.

[Iskandar]

The Man Who Fell to Earth - 7/10

David Bowie as an androgenous alien who visits Earth on a mission to save his endangered planet, then is corrupted by the material excesses of the American lifestyle. Neat concept, but bizarrely executed. Also a lot of fairly kinky sex scenes for some reason.

[Cocaine]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - 10/10

Jack Nicholson is perfect in this in my opinion.

I watched part of that on TV tonight, but had work to do so I missed the rest.

Smokin' Aces

7/10

Solid flick, which I wasn't expecting. Really over-the-top, and the plot "twists" were absolutely lame as ****. Still, decent stuff.

[Yield]

I watched part of that on TV tonight, but had work to do so I missed the rest.

Me too, it came on twice.

American History X - 7.5/10


:(

[Tillius]

:( for me, too, not just for the ending but because you rated it so low.

:p

[Yield]

^^^What Tillius said

[thedeadwalk!]

The Assassination of Richard Nixon

I liked how it was from the view of the unstable guy, but, his narration was too much like Rod Serling and he just turns into I am Sam at the end. Enjoyable enough and interesting.

7/10

Arlington Road

There were some melodramatic close-ups and lighting that were close to humorous, and the party scene after the guy takes the other guy's son home from camp, with the people laughing, was just weird. I also have a problem with how the bomb got into the car at the end. It was nice but just not to my liking so much.

6.5/10

[Static]

:( for me, too, not just for the ending but because you rated it so low.

:p

I saw it on FX, so it was edited like faak. I need to watch it again, for sure.


Let me say that AHX has been one of the few movies I liked the first time I watched it.

[Danger Bird]

Yeah you don't watch a movie like that on FX

[Tillius]

I saw it on FX, so it was edited like faak. I need to watch it again, for sure.


Let me say that AHX has been one of the few movies I liked the first time I watched it.

Ah, I get it. Definitely pick it up and watch it in its full the first chance you get.

[Yield]

American History X is seriously too great of a movie to have it's image sullied by crappy television cuts.

[Cocaine]

:curbstomp:

[Tillius]

I love how that moment just defines that movie for so many people.

[Cocaine]

I love how that moment just defines that movie for so many people.

It doesn't define it for me, it's just too gross for me to forget about.

I dont imagine it was shown on TV.

[Tillius]

I'm sure it doesn't define it for you, but I know people that only talk about that part when they discuss the movie.

And no, I imagine they didn't.

[Cocaine]

Oddly enough, the first time I saw it was on TV. But it was on a channel that doesn't censor anything, so it came chock full of curbstomp.

[Static]

They only cut the part where Derek actually hit him. You could see him bring his feet down, just not onto the man.

[Danger Bird]

I didn't think it was all that gruesome seriously what's the big deal

[Iskandar]

but your a hippie

[Static]

*you're

[planewreck]

The defining moment of that film for me was the shower rape. But basically the whole film was powerful, especially the ending. The ones that always get to me though are where he's folding the laundry with the black man and they bond.

[Static]

I like how he is just the stereotypical black man.

[Meatplow]

Coincidentally i just rewatched American History X lol.

American History X - 6/10

It's a very powerful movie, which i found moving at times. However I also found it extremely unrealistic, full of stereotypes which really degraded a lot of the emotional impact for me. I found it more or less funny at some moments where you can tell the people who made it were trying to trigger emotional impact within the viewer, for this i don't rate it as highly as some might.

The film has a good message and some great scenes, but i feel it is flawed all the same to the point it seems pretentious.

[Alf™]

Win A Date With Tad Hamilton

Painful. That word just about sum it up.

4/10

When A Stranger Calls

Not too much better than the previous movie mentioned. Very slow, with the makers trying to build the tension, and failing. Stupid ending really didn't finish well.

5/10

[EightMilesHigh]

I find in terms of hard to watch, for me shower scene > curb stomp

idk why getting raped is worse than having your head savagely split open on the sidewalk, maybe im just a freak

[Eliminator]

Easy Rider - 10/10

also watched an episode of astro boy

all nighters rule

[Meatplow]

eh gay rape (and rape in general) is overused as a shock tactic in cinema and books, while AHX did shock me when i first saw that scene now i'm more or less desensitized to it.

The Terminator - 8/10

Classic action, been a long time since i've seen this.

[RunAmokRampant]

I just saw Knocked up. Better than most Adam Sandler romantic comedies. Actually I don't know whether it is a 'romantic' comedy, but it definitely had funny moments.

6.5/10

[bradc1988]

Smokin Aces - Surprisingly entertaining, I thought it was quite good. Lots of action and death, good for the whole family. 8/10

[Happy]

Shrek 3. Crap compared to the first one tbh.
Only watched it because some guy died outside the place we were gonna go.
4/10

[superpeer]

****ing Åmål

Amazing film. Typical low budget European cinematography, which only adds to the charm to this film filled with real emotions, heart aches and falling in love. This film is about two girls, one is a reject without any friends who has a huge crush on a very pretty popular girl. The latter kisses the other in a bet, but ends up very confused thinking that the kiss wasn't as trivial as she intended it to be.

So yeah, the several relationships in this film are just beautifully portrayed, and on top of that, you get a really hot 14-year-old Swedish girl who starts to take a liking to another one (she looks a bit like Alice in my avatar!). Plus it has some really great songs in the soundtrack, especially the songs by a band called Broder Daniel, world famous in Sweden, I think. LOVED IT. 9.3/10

Delicatessen

From the director of Amélie Poulain. Saw this at an open air film festival, where I will be playing a gig today, actually! :cool: (I think we're introducing The Constant Gardener). Anyways, I'm a big fan of Amélie, so I had high expectations for this. The cinematography was as wonderful as I had expected from a Jeunet film. This film was very dark and somewhat post-apocalyptic, it is set in France, in what seems to be a major crisis, possibly post-war. Food is scarce, especially meat, so you can guess what they're serving nowadays.

Nevertheless, the film is full of humour, strange strange characters and more strangeness. I thought it was wonderful. 8.5/10

[metallicaman8]

Sleepy Hollow- 8.5/10

Johnny Depp was (as usual) perfect. He put just enough of his quirky charm into the role to make his character extremely likeable, but not so much that you couldn't take his character seriously.

[Tillius]

I just saw Knocked up. Better than most Adam Sandler romantic comedies. Actually I don't know whether it is a 'romantic' comedy, but it definitely had funny moments.

kevin spacey carries it, enjoyable movie after suspending logic for a few minutes

kpax is one of those movies that, overtime, you realize how truly awful and manipulative it is. it's also dreadfully boring and plodding.

Captivity - 4/10

Boo!!!

Anyway

Little Shop of Horrors (Original) 6.5/10
I didn't see the big deal about this movie. I like the overall weirdness and Jack Nicholson and the guy who eats flowers, but overall I just didn't find it too funny. And call me crazy but the girl who plays Audrey was hot.

Saved-7.75/10
Really great satire about a girl who goes to a hardcore Baptist school and gets pregnant. Really captures everything wrong with stuck-up fundamentalists. Gets too dramatic sometimes.

[exodus]

Leon The Professional

7.5/10

Woulda been ALOT better if they had just reduced the lame *** scenes of the girl and his developing relationship by half an hour, and focus more on action.

[samthebassman]

Good little crime movie, Mos Def excells as usual.

4, only cause of Elisha Cuthbert

Elisha Cuthbert is gorgeous.

Was it just senseless human desecration or did it actually have a plot?

[Kage]

Watched Me, Myself and Irene and the new Harry Potter movie today.

Enjoyed both, plenty of flaws in the new HP, though.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

That robot is my new favorite character in any movie, any time. A suicidal robot is genius, especially when he's voiced by Alan Rickman. I also love the super-cheery computer on the spaceship. This movie was just awesome.

9/10

[Akira]

Please tell me you've read the books.
I know this is a cliche, but the books were seriously a million times better. I liked the movie a lot, unlike a lot of hardcore Hitchhiker's fans, but the books are genius.

[Tyr]

Dersu Uzala

One of the best films I've ever seen. Akira Kurosawa has never disappointed me and this is not an exception. The Russian actors are brilliant, the photo and scenery as well. I don't really have anything negative to say.

5/5

[slack]

finally got around to seeing memento. great movie.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Please tell me you've read the books.
I know this is a cliche, but the books were seriously a million times better. I liked the movie a lot, unlike a lot of hardcore Hitchhiker's fans, but the books are genius.

Nope I've been meaning to pick up the books though.

I'm sure they'll be better, books almost always are, but the movie by itself was still awesome.

[Akira]

Ah man, I can't believe you haven't read them.
You won't be disappointed. Douglas Adams was a genius.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Once I finish the next Harry Potter I'm gonna make a trip to Barnes and Noble, so I'll pick some up then.

How many books are there, and should I just start from the first?

[Akira]

There are five that he wrote, then another I haven't read that other people made from his notes.
Just read the five straight through. My copy has all five in one big book. They are not long.

[exodus]

Taxi Driver

8/10

[DeckerDontPlay]

Elisha Cuthbert is gorgeous.

Was it just senseless human desecration or did it actually have a plot?

It had a fair share of senseless human desecration along with an attempt at a plot though the terrible attempt at a brain****/twist almost put me to sleep. It's a good thing I only went to look at Elisha Cuthbert.

[Yield]

Taxi Driver

8/10

You watching it on the television as well?

I'd give it an 8.5/10.

Godfather I was on right before, and I'd give it a 9/10.

You watching it on the television as well?

I'd give it an 8.5/10.

Isn't Godfather part 2 right after it? If so, we'll both give ratings after :D

Nope nvm, oh well Life is on USA in 18 min, I'm watch that.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I'm watching Starship Troopers.

Its alright I guess.

[exodus]

I'm watching Starship Troopers.

Its alright I guess.

I liked it only cause men and women in the military shower together in that movie :chug:

so yeah, I wish I was in the military in that movie

[FakePlasticTrees]

...


So you like watching men shower?

[Yield]

Isn't Godfather part 2 right after it? If so, we'll both give ratings after :D

Godfather part 1 is playing tomorrow and then part 2 comes on right after. I'll most likely watch it when it comes on.

[exodus]

...


So you like watching men shower?

No, but I'd take Dina Meyer in the *** if I saw her in the shower :wave:

[JohnXDoesn't]

Crash

the 2005 oscar winner for best picture, not the james spader flick.

good film that took its time unraveling. thought it came on too strong at first in sending its message and getting its point across, but it ties it all up as the film goes on. just as in everyday life you begin to recognize it as true. do people really talk, live, think and behave like this when it comes to race? yeah, they pretty much do.

a little heavy handed but a very solid 7.5/10. not as good as Brokeback Mountain, however, which it beat for oscar.

--------------------------------------------------


Notes On A Scandal

think i saw a post by Danger Bird or someone trashing this film and saying it had zero value. i on the other hand enjoyed it very much.

cate blanchett [sic] plays a forty something school teacher who gets involved with a 15 year old student where she teaches and judy dench plays a manipulative, aging lesbian who becomes intrigued and then obsessed with her, her life, family, and then being with her. interesting character study and some well written roles make it an intriguing watch if you like grown up drama with a hint of, well, like the title says, scandal. good performances, keenly written, well told and well made.

8/10

[Danger Bird]

I'd trust you more if you could spell the title.:p

Seriously, the movie was a creepy old bag, an unbelievable portrayal of how the student-teacher relationship progressed, and nothing in between.

[RunAmokRampant]

I'm watching Starship Troopers.

Its alright I guess.

I had to study it for a lit exam last year. It's actually quite a decent satire.

[TRIVIUM_METAL_GODZ_666]

Sin city

It's cool i like it a lot. I've probably watched it 5 or 6 times.

I'd trust you more if you could spell the title.:p

Seriously, the movie was a creepy old bag, an unbelievable portrayal of how the student-teacher relationship progressed, and nothing in between.
why whatever do you mean :p

i thought it had plenty in between. the retarded son, emotional teenage daughter, betrayed husband, and some suspense on just how the older woman would play her hand. and of course the blanchett character herself. once wild in youth now uneasily settled down with a man older then herself, unfulfilled, fuc.king some teenager on the tracks of an underused train depot. it was just a sexual relationship, i don't think their was much development or progression. anyway i found it fascinating and when things finally came to a head, that was fairly exciting imo.

Wouldn't have given it that high of a score had you read the books first, I assure you

[Kurrpt]

id probably have given it a 7/10 tbh

[Akira]

Wouldn't have given it that high of a score had you read the books first, I assure you

I disagree. It is a quality movie, and they made a really good decision in not trying to follow the books.
I liked it.

[Meatplow]

The books were great, very humorous. I really want to read them again in time.

As for the movie i enjoyed it as well, but the reading the books first of any movie adaption before you watch it will always be better IMO.

[Akira]

Definitely.

Watched All the King's Men and I, Robot last night.

All the King's Men was boring. Not my kind of movie. Not a bad one, but I'll never watch it again.

I, Robot was very good. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[ringworm]

I, Robot was very good. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, but I was pleasantly surprised.
very good imo too

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - 8/10

Weakest of the three, but still a great movie.

"I love you Indy; you my best friend!"

[Knifeboy]

I, Robot was very good. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I thought it was absolutely horrible.. And probably had the worst cgi I've ever seen...

[Kurrpt]

I liked AI better (spielberg)


i think they are both similar, in that, in discusses a future "species" that is descriminated against, i just thought AI was more compelling/interesting. Ending wasn't the best, but that goes along with most movies

Harold and Kumar is such a bad movie, but did you really expect anything different?

[Kage]

Apparently he did.

[Akira]

Which is kind of scary. I'm not sure what about that movie would lead you to believe that it had any potential.

Then again, I guess some people watched Epic Movie, so I shouldn't overestimate people.

[JohnXDoesn't]

i liked that movie a lot. funnies+

i cant believe he liked Wedding Crashers better than Old School :p

Driving Lessons - 2/5

Whoever edited this movie should be fired.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Midnight Cowboy - Naive 'cowboy' Texan Joe Buck(Jon Voigt) goes to the Big Apple hoping to make money as an escort for wealthy women. He makes friends with the sickly Ratso(Dustin Hoffman), who offers to be his 'manager' and allows him to stay with him in a dilapidated abandoned building. However Joe's plans fail to materialise satisfactorily and he is forced to cater additionally to male customers and thievery in order to survive in New York, whilst Ratso slowly dies of TB. The only 'X' ever to win a best picture Oscar, even though nudity is restricted to breasts and buttocks and there is little violence. A powerful picture of friendship and dreams shattered. 8/10

[EightMilesHigh]

Harold and Kumar is such a bad movie, but did you really expect anything different?

I love a good low-brow comedy now and then (i.e. Wedding Crashers, Zoolander, Stripes) but Harold and Kumar was just plain awful.

[Akira]

You can't even begin to compare Zoolander to Harold and Kumar.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I thought Zoolander was just annoying.

[planewreck]

Zoolander was just bad. So was Harold and Kumar.

[Cocaine]

Zoolander is awesomely bad and I like Harold and Kumar a little bit too.

[AlienEater]

The movie is an action/drama classic! Why didn't you like it?

I can't even remember. It was just really bad.

[thedeadwalk!]

Zoolander is hilarious, and White Castle is better enjoyed drunk and while doing something else.

[Akira]

Zoolander rocks.
End of discussion.

[AlienEater]

Easily one of the most annoying movies ever made.

[Cocaine]

I liked Napoleon Dynamite when it first came out and no one had heard of it. Once every one in the free world was quoting it and had a Vote For Pedro shirt it lost it's appeal.

It wasn't great or anything but I liked it.

[Kage]

I watched the whole movie just from everyone spouting off every line in the entire thing all the time before I ever saw it.

[Akira]

Napoleon Dynamite was a very mediocre movie made unbearable by the criminally annoying amount people like to quote it.

Zoolander, on the other hand, is amazing.

[Cocaine]

Napoleon Dynamite was a very mediocre movie made unbearable by the criminally annoying amount people like to quote it.
Yeah but I saw it on opening day, nobody even knew what it was when I saw it. I didn't even know.

-0.5 only because this is the 10000000th time I've watched it.

[EightMilesHigh]

Zoolander rocks.
End of discussion.

I whole-heartedly agree.

However whoever thought of Napolean Dynamite needs to be executed.

[Tillius]

It's already been said.

Many people saw Napoleon Dynamite after they already knew the entire movie from people thinking it was damn hilarious to quote it.


I can't believe there's still people who buy Napoleon Dynamite merchandise because they STILL think it makes them cool.

[bradc1988]

Transformers - I liked it! Only complaint was that some of the fighting scenes in the beginning were too fast and I couldn't really see what was happening, although that could just be the quality of the release. Plenty of lulz as well. 9/10

This is the only ovie out in theatres that I want to see that I still haven't gotten around to.
I actually wanted to see it more than Transformers the other night, but the people I was with wanted to see Transformers more so there ya go.

Eh, it was alright.

I liked it a lot more back when I first saw it when it came out to theatres.

It still brings on the lulz every now and then, but I don't know what it was I saw it in that made it so great for me so long ago.

There was nothing good on....so watched Friday on VH1, though I just saw it like 2 days ago but **** it

Revenge of the Nerds - was actually surprisingly funny, mainly stupid funny as opposed to intelligent funny, most of the humour coming from the deliberately completely overdone stereotypes. 7/10

I thought Harold and Kumar was pretty funny. They find and ride a cheetah to white castle, how is that bad?

let's dissect this sentence

The find

to white castle.



This is bad.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Well no it's not exactly an oscar winning never-to-be-forgotten movie, but it makes me chuckle here and there.

[Meatplow]

Yeah i found it amusing, as bad as it is. Not a cinematic triumph by any means but a decent enough comedy.

Very close competition with Knocked Up for funniest movie of the year.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - The Coen brothers haven't disappointed me so far, and although this is no Fargo or Big Lebowski, it was still great. A lot of over the top American characters and good dialogue, as always. 8/10

I just got my copy of Oldboy in the mail! I don't know if I'll have time to watch it today, but I'll let you guys know what I think as soon as I do.

[bradc1988]

Very close competition with Knocked Up for funniest movie of the year.

If you say so.

[Concubine]

Stock, Lock & 2 Smoking Barrels

9/10

Make sure you turn off the dubbed english track first.

[exodus]

:eek:

I will write that off as a typo and assume you meant 10/10. :p

SWAN

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

let's dissect this sentence

The find
and ride
a cheetah

to white castle.



This is bad.

That's kind of the point, though. It's supposed to be over-the-top dumb. The movie is funny, and that's final.

"No, NPH wouldn't do that"

[Danger Bird]

Harold and Kumar was sort of funny yeah

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

NO.

It was funny.


"they usually get gazelles and ****"

[Akira]

That's kind of the point, though. It's supposed to be over-the-top dumb. The movie is funny, and that's final.

"No, NPH wouldn't do that"

Kung Pao is over-the-top dumb. Harold and Kumar was just kind of bleh.
While I didn't completely hate it, it was just not a very funny movie.

[samthebassman]

Hot Fuzz - 9/10.

I haven't laughed so much in a long time.

[Tillius]

Make sure you turn off the dubbed english track first.

This.

God I was pissed.

[AmericanWeiner]

Tideland

beyond rating bc omg wtf am I watching this is so awesome

[Danger Bird]

NO.

It was funny.


"they usually get gazelles and ****"

Kung Pao is over-the-top dumb. Harold and Kumar was just kind of bleh.
Will I didn't completely hate it, it was just not a very funny movie.

You're both wrong.

[Static]

This.

God I was pissed.

What happened?

[Cocaine]

What happened?

dubbed movies suck?

[Akira]

If I was ever watching a foreign film with someone who wanted to watch it dubbed, I would slap that person.

[Danger Bird]

What about Kung Fu movies?

[Kage]

That's a different story entirely.

[Tyr]

What about Kung Fu movies?

Not dubbed if at all possible.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Kung Pao is over-the-top dumb.

Very underrated movie. Should have won an Oscar. Hilarious.

[Cocaine]

Kung Fu movies are still lame when they're dubbed, but that's part of the attraction.

[Kage]

As I understand it, that's the entire attraction.

[Tillius]

What happened?

It just kinda changed how good the movie could've been.

The people doing the dubs were terrible, and it was just distracting. I've yet to watch it in it's real version.

[Akira]

Very underrated movie. Should have won an Oscar. Hilarious.

Such a stupid movie, but also easily one of the top really dumb comedies I have seen, and I mean that in the best possible way.

[simplephotographinthesun]

road to perdition

8.5/10

impressive followup from sam mendes. great framing going on by master cinematographer (my personal favie) conrad hall (the evening rain scenes = splooge). some cool uses of mirrors that mendes favors. daniel craig is a cunt in this movie <3

[Kage]

That movie was a great example of style over substance. The cinematography was magic, but I didn't really give a **** about the characters.

[Jacaranda]

its too glossy though. tom hanks was a bad choice I thought too weak or something.

[Kage]

Nowadays I would probably consider it too glossy, yeah. But back when I watched it I was in love with it. That movie does nothing for me nowadays.

[3FingeredHoek]

Make sure you turn off the dubbed english track first.

sure thing

[Jacaranda]

it has a good story and all but they just didn't pull it off it could have been so much better. i always think i want to watch it but then i remember how meh it actually is.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I finally watched this tonight. I had a completely different idea of what the movie was going to be, but I loved it anyways. I never thought I'd say this, but Johnny Depp was really awesome. And no I haven't read the book yet, although I mean to.

BEAUTIFUL ****ING TITS!

10/10

[DeckerDontPlay]

^^^ I have never finished that movie i always get bored or side tracked. Wierd, cause i enjoy every bit I've seen.

10/10

This line puzzles me :confused:

It was a pretty good movie, i'd like to read the book.

[Danger Bird]

Not dubbed if at all possible.

What other reason could there possibly be to watch them?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

10/10

The book is about a zillion times better than the movie, and I liked the movie! Have fun getting into HST.

I also want to know the meaning of the tits comment.

[Static]

It just kinda changed how good the movie could've been.

The people doing the dubs were terrible, and it was just distracting. I've yet to watch it in it's real version.

Subtitles?

[Tillius]

Yah.

[Meatplow]

There's nothing worse then a bad dub.

[MattSharpIsCool]

This line puzzles me :confused:

When they're in the hotel, and Raoul takes the adrenaline stuff. Gonzo sits down beside him on the bed and starts to turn into the devil. Then he turns around and he has giant boobs and Jonny Depp says that line. I found it to be hilarious so I included it in my "review".

[Kage]

There's nothing worse then a bad dub.

The dub could be an amazing dub, there's still nothing worse.

[planewreck]

Match Point - 4/5
I have never been a fan of Woody Allen, but this was superbly acted storytelling. The abrupt editing of the film added to cold feeling of the film, which fit perfectly.

[Meatplow]

Nice. There was so many parts to that movie i can't remember it all. I have to watch it again.

Other than the fact that I am a big Woody Allen fan, I agree.

5/10

just didnt do it for me

[Meatplow]

i started watching Jungle Fever, then found it strange Wesley Snipes and the woman he was having sex with were speaking spanish.

seems i downloaded a non-english speaking version or something :angry:

i'm going to watch The Warriors

well if you liked this one some of his other more dramatic films might suit you also

:wave:

[Mexican Bandito]

The Goonies
zo: 10/10 because it's the best film ever
Pat: 1billion/10 because 'the bits i saw were very good'

=D

[Meatplow]

The Warriors - 7/10

Pretty good 70's gang movie, haven't seen it for a while.

[Knifeboy]

The dub could be an amazing dub, there's still nothing worse.

I love you

Well, no, but... I have friends who consider themselves movie enthusiasts who can't stand subtitles

I want to stab them
Especially because they're missing out on the brilliance of Oldboy

[Akira]

Wtf? "Movie enthusiasts" who watch dubs instead of subtitles?
Punch them for me and tell them they are as much movie enthusiasts as Paris Hilton is a singer.

[Meatplow]

Yeah i have to agree with Akira lol.

[superpeer]

Dubs are the most awful thing you can do to a film or a series. I just attempted to watch Friends dubbed in French, because I was very bored, but it was just terrible. All the shows have the same voices, I can't imagine French people or French speaking Belgians enjoying TV. It's awful. (ps: yes, I do like Friends in English <-< )

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I finally watched this tonight. I had a completely different idea of what the movie was going to be, but I loved it anyways. I never thought I'd say this, but Johnny Depp was really awesome. And no I haven't read the book yet, although I mean to.

10/10

I should read the book. Ps: What's wrong with Johnny Depp? He's great.

[Tillius]

Dubs are just lazy, if not anything else.

How ****ing hard is it to read the subtitles?

[Concubine]

The Breakfast Club

meh 5/10

[bradc1988]

For some strange reason I prefer dubs with anime, but hate dubs with regular cinema.

/strange

[Knifeboy]

Maybe because animated cinema is basicly dubbed already, so dubbing it once again, really doesn't hurt, and might improve the experience

Wtf? "Movie enthusiasts" who watch dubs instead of subtitles?

Worse...

Refuse to watch foreign movies because they agree dubs are lame too

[-Listy-]

Bridge to Teribithia

7/10, was enjoyable and moved me a little, but I really didnt like the ending.


Casino Royale

8/10, Daniel Craig's performance was good.

[planewreck]

If the film is good enough, I stop realizing that I'm read subtitles and subconciously everything starts sounding like English in my head. Like after ten minutes of Pan's Labyrinth, I was so hooked that I forgot I was even reading anymore, and because of that, it all started to sound English to me.

[exodus]

Dubs are just lazy, if not anything else.

How ****ing hard is it to read the subtitles?

Not hard, just an irritation, I came to watch a movie, not read.

[Knifeboy]

But dubs ruin the movie anyway, so why bother at all?

If you watch a couple of movies with subtitles, you get used to them, and won't notice them at all

[exodus]

But dubs ruin the movie anyway, so why bother at all?

Those Jackie Chan dubbed movies are still so awesome though

[planewreck]

okay everybody we have figured out the problem

these are the only foreign films he watches

[Tillius]

Like after ten minutes of Pan's Labyrinth, I was so hooked that I forgot I was even reading anymore, and because of that, it all started to sound English to me.

This.

Five minutes into City of God and I was pretty much oblivious to the fact that I was reading subtitles.


So....

The Basketball Diaries

I caught this on television a few months back but it was late and I had to be up the next morning so I wound up turning it off. Somebody mentioned it around here so I Netflixed it.
Excellent. The story was incredibly well told, and acted for that matter. I don't know why so many people hate DiCaprio and call him a bad actor. I've never seen him do bad, and his performance in this was brilliant. Mark Wahlberg did a good job as well, but you can tell how his acting skills have improved over the years.
Once again, I don't think I can find anything wrong with this movie.

5/5

About to watch Boogie Nights.

[planewreck]

Boogie Nights is so awesome.

[Kage]

If the film is good enough, I stop realizing that I'm read subtitles and subconciously everything starts sounding like English in my head. Like after ten minutes of Pan's Labyrinth, I was so hooked that I forgot I was even reading anymore, and because of that, it all started to sound English to me.

Yes, this, exactly. Just last night I was watching Tarkovsky's Stalker, and it's just as if they are speaking English after a while.

It's just like reading a really great book--after a while I almost forget I'm reading words on a page and I feel like things are just happening and I'm there experiencing them.

Now, if the movie/book is bad, it's a different story.

[planewreck]

Yeah, exactly.

I could never get into Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so it was always like, "Well, I'm watching a foreign film."

[Tillius]

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon just tried entirely too hard to be some epic film.

[superpeer]

Hmm, I suppose you English speaking folk aren't as used to subtitles. I've been reading subtitles pretty much since I could read. There are so many American and British shows on TV here that it really becomes a second nature.

If I'm watching a film in English on DVD, I put on the English subtitles and if there aren't any, I put on Dutch subtitles. I'm so used to it that it's nice to put them on to retain overview of what everyone's saying, I guess. ^-^

Anyway, sure to put on a film tonight, myself. Not sure which, however! Maybe Of Mice and Men. Or maybe Psycho.

[Knifeboy]

Yeah, I honestly prefer subtitles because I've gotten used to them.. I'll even put on english subtitles if there's no danish ones...
I find it much easier to follow the movies with subtitles on

[planewreck]

One of my friends would put on English subtitles even if the film was in English just because, so for a really long time I got used to doing that and did it myself. It helps with those one lines that are always spoken off-handedly and easier to catch.

[Knifeboy]

helped a whole lot, when watching Snatch, too

[superpeer]

I like how Dutch channels subtitle Belgian shows and the other way round. I usually find it perfectly intelligible, but hey.

Kind of like all the Americans complaining about Trainspotting. =)

[Kage]

I don't usually put on subtitles if the program is in English, but they are second nature to me in that if I am watchign a foreign picture, I don't even consider the subtitles at all anymore, and generally forget that I'll have to be reading subtitles.

Whereas some of my friends, when I mention watching a foreign movie, will say "ah, I'm not in the mood to read subtitles." Losers.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Match Point - 4/5

I agree.

Boogie Nights is so awesome.

Really, really overrated, though.

[Kage]

Boogie Nights isn't that awesome.

[planewreck]

ok but see it is

[Kage]

Well, see, that's where you're misinformed.

[EightMilesHigh]

I thought Boogie Nights was good.

Better than ****ing Titanic, that's for sure.

[3FingeredHoek]

I just finished Oldboy.

I really enjoyed it, but there were a lot of things that I didn't fully understand; I'll have to watch it again before I give it a rating.

[exodus]

Better than ****ing Titanic, that's for sure.
Okay random?

I just finished Oldboy.

I really enjoyed it, but there were a lot of things that I didn't fully understand; I'll have to watch it again before I give it a rating.

You should check out Ichi The Killer

[exodus]

Boogie Nights is so awesome.
Anything with Burt Reynolds = fail

gg

[3FingeredHoek]

Okay random?



You should check out Ichi The Killer

One of my friends has it. I've been meaning to borrow it from him.

[Tillius]

So yeah...

Boogie Nights

First half:
Introduction of the characters and developing their relationships with one another. Well done.
First half=good.

Second half:
Everything started to pick up, and the story got much better.
Second half=amazing.

Seriously, this movie is basically what it is described as on Netflix. A well played out movie about a very unlikely "family". Everybody did their parts well, and it was all very believable.
It won't be making my top ten list of favorites, but it was definitely an incredible piece of cinematography.

5/5

[Akira]

I'm definitely going to have to agree with not noticing subtitles. I just don't notice them after a few minutes.

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

Five minutes into City of God and I was pretty much oblivious to the fact that I was reading subtitles.
I just finished watching that for the first time about five minutes ago. ****ing good.

[Akira]

This.

Five minutes into City of God and I was pretty much oblivious to the fact that I was reading subtitles.

What an amazing movie. And yeah, definitely one where I was totally oblivious to the subtitles.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Concerning subtitles: We may have no problem with them but you must remember the huge numbers of illiterate retards out there who dislike the fact that everyone else doesn't just speak their own language for their benefit.

[Interstate]

Saw Ocean's 13 tonight with my girlfriend. Brilliant film, very funny & much better than Ocean's 12 by miles & around the same as 11.

[Akira]

I wanted to see that a lot, but I couldn't find anyone to go see it with and now it's not showing.

[planewreck]

It's pretty good. 7/10

But it's fluff. It may be more way more enjoyable (and better) than Ocean's 12, but it has just about the same amount of purpose for being. No suspense, no clever tricks, just a bunch of guys getting together and shooting the breeze with ease. That's kind of all it needs to be, but I could have just waited till the DVD to get the same experience.

[samthebassman]

Braveheart - 10/10.

I must have seen this 20 times, but it still inspires me.

William Wallace must be one of film's greatest heroes.

[Akira]

It's pretty good. 7/10

But it's fluff. It may be more way more enjoyable (and better) than Ocean's 12, but it has just about the same amount of purpose for being. No suspense, no clever tricks, just a bunch of guys getting together and shooting the breeze with ease. That's kind of all it needs to be, but I could have just waited till the DVD to get the same experience.

That is all you really expect from those movies.

I hated hated hated the ending of Ocean's 12 though.

[Der Übermensch]

Fitzcarraldo 9/10
The always crazy Werner Herzog directing the always freaky Klaus Kinsky. Echoes of Aguirre in the film, as once again we find Klaus on a crazy boat ride in South America, althoug this time he's an Opera lover trying to fund an opera in the Amazon. A truley spectacular scene... one of the greatest achievements for film ever I would venture, invloves him traversing a steam ship over a mountainside... an act that wasn't simulated for the film, but rather actually attempted by Herzog for the movie.

[planewreck]

That is all you really expect from those movies.

I hated hated hated the ending of Ocean's 12 though.
I hated the whole film.

[Akira]

I thought it was fine until the end, which was just too stupid.

[Schyma]

Rear Window ~ 9/10

Great film, one of Alfred Hitchcock's better films (which is saying something), entertaining and exciting through-out. It's a classic for a reason....

Science of Sleep ~ 8.5/10

What a trip and what a film. Michel Gondry the director of both flawless Dave Cheppelle's Block Party and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind although he doesn't quite hit gold again here, he still has created a visually stunning, funny, and wonderfully entertaining movie. My main complaint is the main character, he's like what an immature 9 year old would act like if he were a 26 year old douche bag. I enjoyed it, but it had so much more potential. Highly recommended if you enjoyed Eternal Sunshine.

[-Listy-]

American history X

10/10

Wow..Edward Norton is fast becoming one of my favourite actors.

[Kage]

Michel Gondry's trash.

[planewreck]

Science of Sleep is so overrated.

[Tillius]

I hated the whole film.

I liked the Bruce Willis bit.

[Kage]

So is Eternal Sunshine.

[Schyma]

Michel Gondry's trash.Please, Dave Cheppelle's Block Party and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were both perfect.

[Kage]

Perfect is an extreme overstatement, even disregarding my personal distaste for the movie.

[planewreck]

Basically what Kage said, though Eternal Sunshine flirts with being a classic for me.
