Last movie/film you watched?

[sgrevs]

Boyz N the Hood

Awesome movie, 8.5/10

Ice Cube is so gangsta, I just wanna listen to NWA now.

[Meatplow]

boyz is the hood is so damn good

[-Listy-]

The bank job.

pretty good.

[mattspurplepen]

duudeeeee jesus camp is so good! probably one of my favorite documentaries, mainly because i love seeing how crazy evangelicals are and i'm not a fan of religion.
Has anyone seen the movie Waking Life? i rented it because my friend said it was sweet and it had good reviews, but the animation over real footage looked so crappy. I couldn't handle watching the screen for more than 20 minutes, now i can appreciate the effort that goes into movies with animation over live action, but it can be pretty hard to watch.
Sin city wasn't all that bad when it came to weird animation over it though. i think they used some computers maybe.

[mattspurplepen]

Oh and has anyone seen Mister Lonely by Harmony Korine yet? i really want to see it but they never released it in theaters around san francisco so i have to wait for the dvd in a couple months. Looks so sick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e27uQjGWcxc

[Prince of Darkness]

:confused:

[mattspurplepen]

oh haha i just saw meatplow's review hahaha well i still think i'll probably like it- but it definitely could be lame.

[Meatplow]

I feel it's pretty bad.... it might not be as offensive to some as it was to me but I really couldn't see a damn thing in it.

[Talos]

The Bank Job is a great film, I highly rate Statham as an actor. Im hoping to watch Death Race(?) soon as well because hes in it.

Also realy looking forward to seeing Bangkok Dangerous.

[Surf]

I highly rate Statham as an actor

sorry I just heard your credibility leave the room

He's alright in films that don't require more than two facial expressions, but actor? really?

[Talos]

Well I kinda like all the films hes been in; Crank, Italian Job, Snatch, Transporter, etc.
He fits his characters role in all those films perfectly IMO.

[Surf]

that's because they're prety much all the same character :)

I don't know, I'd like to see him do something a bit more challenging.

But then I remember revolver. And no one should have to remember revolver.

[Win A Rabbit]

amelie.

i really really really liked it. will watch it again when i have some free time before i take it back.

[Interstate]

One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975) - My dad taped this off the tv for me when I was a kid and I used to watch it alot. Hadn't seen it in a long time but it was on tv the other day so I watched it. Very nostalgic and funny. 8.5/10

[Time]

statham was good in lock stock and snatch but that's about it...maybe Bank job is good but i haven't seen it. i kind of hate him

The Lookout 7/10
Missed a good 20 minutes of it, but it was a solid movie. Unfortunately i missed the 20 minutes with Carla Gugino and shes really hot :(

[jrowa001]

Pineapple Express - 9/10. saw it again, but with a friend who hasnt seen it yet. even funnier the second time. this is the product of baby f***ing

[talk show host]

Punch-Drunk Love
So much better than I remember it being. 9/10

[planewreck]

http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/burnafterreading

[Tillius]

Man, I want so badly for that movie to be good.

[djtdub105]

Coen brothers usually do a good job

[Tillius]

I can't really judge as I've only seen three of their movies. NCFOM, Fargo, and Intolerable Cruelty. I liked No Country and Fargo, but I don't remember being too fond of Intolerable Cruelty.

[TISM]

every Coen movie i've seen is solid

[Iscariot]

fargo is the only coen movie i thought was ace

burn after reading has potential but it seems due mainly to the cast and not necessarily the premise

[EightMilesHigh]

I won't lie there were some lolz at Brad Pitt in the gym outfit.

[Iscariot]

brad pitt is def one of my favorite actors

in fact other than george clooney i love the entire cast for this movie

[jrowa001]

**** im watching The Gate, this movie used to scare the crap out of me when i was a kid. it still kind of does. such a freaky trippy movie

[simplephotographinthesun]

Punch-Drunk Love
So much better than I remember it being. 9/10

this. i had a 3 year gap in between viewings and I was shocked at how much I enjoyed the second go around.

on a side note: two days ago marked my 7 year anniversary on MX :chug: :wave:

[Static]

:chug:

[jrowa001]

30 Days of night - 6/10. it was good but not that exciting. the scene though where they look down on the town and show all the mayhem was cool

[DeckerDontPlay]

^^^ I hated that ****in movie, so dissapointing. But yeah that scene was definately one of the better moments along with him flaking away in the end.

BLOODSPORT!!!!!!! 10/10

[beans]

30 days of night was better than bloodsport yo

[Cocaine]

30 Days of Night was awful. Bloodsport is bad but at least it's entertaining.

[Luc214]

i Don't Remember Being Too Fond Of Intolerable Cruelty.

What

[Cocaine]

He doesn't remember liking it, **** man, keep up.

[Tillius]

I don't remember being too fond of Intolerable Cruelty.


Being John Malkovich

Pretty much everything I was hoping for and expected it to be.

5/5

[Txus]

Once Upon A Time in America

First of all, WHAT A GREAT ****ING CAST....incredible movie, hands down.

9/10

[DeckerDontPlay]

30 days of night was better than bloodsport yo

Yeah your right 30 Days of Night 10/10!!!!!!!!! or not

[Tillius]

I don't think he was saying 30 Days of Night was great, just that it was better than Bloodsport.

[siva_chair]

Once Upon A Time in America

First of all, WHAT A GREAT ****ING CAST....incredible movie, hands down.

9/10

Very good movie.

I liked Once Upon a Time in the West a bit more myself, but that is because I am a sucker for speghetti westerns.

[-Listy-]

The Shawshank Redemption - 10

[Iscariot]

shoot 'em up - 9.5/10

this is the best over-the-top action movie i have ever, ever seen

hilarious dialogue, great shootouts, monica bellucci, and more monica bellucci

how is clive owen so damn cool i just can't comprehend it

"you know what i hate? a pussy with a gun in his hand"

[Pop music sucks]

The Forbidden Kingdom

7.75/10

The first 18 minutes was a little slow. Things really picked up once the setting changed to Ancient China. Some nice choreography in the fight scenes. The Restaurant Brawl looked to be an especially hard choreograph, considering the kid had to pretend that he didn't go through months of training before filming started to look like he didn't know martial arts. The J vs. J fight was pretty nice to see.

Iscariot yeah man Shoot 'Em Up was freaking awesome, love those dry puns.

[siva_chair]

shoot 'em up - 9.5/10

Don't forget about Monica Bellucci.

[Iscariot]

how could i forget about her silly me

[Vacant]

Last movie I watched was "Wanted".

The beginning was kinda boring tho

[Meatplow]

Days of Heaven

http://i37.tinypic.com/ostkbr.jpg

So good.

The cinematography is really something else, considering it was made in 1978 and eclipses just about any modern film I can name it's truly remarkable. Whilst some seem to think it ends there, I couldn't disagree more. It felt sincere as a great little story, but this was besides the point to me as the true strength seemed to be the way it captured the time period in an eerily profound manner.

It was slow, but I never felt it dragged. It was just lingering in beauty. Terence Malick may well be some kind of genius if this film is anything to go by, i'm hanging out to see Badlands.

10/10

[Knifeboy]

That's a beautiful picture for a cover

I might actually watch that just because of that picture

[Meatplow]

ennio morricone does the soundtrack as well :smoke:

[Tillius]

I'm sold.

[honourosis]

days of heaven is one of my favorite movies, terrence malick is genius

[Meatplow]

I hope badlands is good, it looks extremely promising :)

[talk show host]

I liked Badlands a lot more than Days of Heaven. I feel like I should like Malick more than I actually do, though.

[Prince of Darkness]

juno - 7/10

i know. old.

[Tillius]

Back to the Future

My first time seeing it all the way through. Pretty good, but not fantastic as I've often heard it referenced as.

I'd say 4/5.

[IAmInsect]

i never got into the back to the future movies

[Iscariot]

people overhype the hell out of that series of movies because it was one of those awful 80's trends and for some reason there is a large number of people who mistakenly believe that the 80's weren't the worst time period in human history since the crucifixion of christ

[Prince of Darkness]

i love me some Back to the Future.

Epic Movie.
my god.
but brain dead lulz.

[simplephotographinthesun]

10/10

the thin red line = fap fap fap

[simplephotographinthesun]

the goddess

the first time i've ever sat through a silent movie. strong acting, and quite a progressive picture for China at the time.

8.5 / 10

[Meatplow]

Elevator Movie

No budget independent film about a perverted guy and an ex-nymphomaniac christian woman who get stuck in a lift together, nobody comes to rescue them and the weeks pass by. It kind of sucks and is an obvious homage to surrealism but these elements are more camp then anything, the film consists almost entirely of dialogue which is it's obvious strength but almost all of it is about sex which seems pretty cheap. The last 20 minutes or so is one of the dumbest sequences i've ever seen.

6/10

[Permanent Solution]

Dark City

Really weird sci-fi movie. Takes a little while to get what's going on (would have taken longer without the voiceovers) but it keeps you intrigued in a wtf sort of way and so I was engaged the entire time. Final battle scene was a little cheesy (as they frequently are) but the plotline was interesting, though the lack of a twist at the end was a little disappointing, as these sorts of movies tend to have them. 8/10

[Luc214]

the director's cut doesn't have the voiceover at the beginning.

it's better imo because one thing the film does so well is be mysterious without being confusing or losing your interest.

that's my favorite film ever so sorry if I sound like a fanboy.

Yeah I read about that. I just picked it up because it was $6 and recommended to me. I think it would have been better. Like I said, I was plenty intrigued via the wtf factor.

[Meatplow]

It's pretty cool.

Has anyone seen Alex Proya's first film Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Cloud? I have a copy but have never watched it.

[beans]

Walk With Me In Hell - 8.5/10

[Luc214]

It's pretty cool.

Has anyone seen Alex Proya's first film Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Cloud? I have a copy but have never watched it.

naw I wasn't aware he did anything other than The Crow and Dark City.

I'll be sure to check it out though, I liked the Crow and I love Dark City.

[Iscariot]

i really like the crow seeing as i bought it, but i'm not a fan of dark city

[beans]

Such a good movie (the crow)
but i thought dark city was pretty well done

[Iscariot]

i just couldn't get into dark city

not because it was poorly done or anything i just didn't personally connect with it and had a hard time keeping my mind focused on it

[beans]

i could see how you could see that..

[Iscariot]

i need someone to link me to a site where i can watch children of men online without having to download that goddamn zango spyware crap

i was going to use watch-movies.net but they don't have any links available

[beans]

great film
idk of anywhere though

[McP3000]

The Matrix- 8.5/10....so epic. The scene at the beginning of the military building is definitely the best matrix moment imo.

also
Casino Royale-7.5/10...very good, but not as good as the second time. movie wore off a bit.
The mr. white scene at the end was still great though.

[Iscariot]

i absolutely love CR

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't seen Casino Royale since I saw it in the cinema. Definitely want to see it again.

[siva_chair]

It is badass. Can't wait for the new one.

[RunAmokRampant]

The Big Lebowski

7/10
John Goodman is hilarious.

[-Listy-]

Cloverfield.

wasnt really expecting much from this at first tbh..but it was pretty damn good.

[horseypie]

I Am Legend

heaps not what I expected it to be about, but i thought it was really good.

8/10

[Prince of Darkness]

28 Weeks Later
This was pretty good. the music rocked.
7.5/10

and apparently they're making a third one. 28 Months Later. possibly set in Russia. The good news: Danny Boyle is set to direct again.

[niobium]

hancock

i didn't think a movie could get any worse than terminator 3

[PshSam]

i need to see casino royale again...i remember it had a twist at the end, but i can't remember what it was -_-.

[niobium]

it had to do with a poker game

the loser was the financial enemy then he got killed

[Meatplow]

The Refrigerator

http://i35.tinypic.com/1nzonn.jpg

Much more entertaining then it probably had any right to be, a couple of newlyweds move into a new apartment with... you guessed it, a killer refrigerator. The wife seems to have some issues with some incident involving her mother and a knife in the past, whilst the husband is increasingly seduced by the refrigerator into insanity. Neither plot angles are resolved or explained, but most funny of all is moustached plumber Juan who is dressed in chains and leather (even doing an exotic dance at one point), something of a hero though there is no climax for him to have done anything heroic, and the whole racial stereotyping of the latino community living around the slum block of flats who are in constant contention with the husband who is typical 80's white go getter ego. This film has depth!

There is absolutely no explanation to the motives of the refrigerator as far as I could tell, and the imposing, nightmarish focus on it is extremely campy. It's a fun watch, but it is a truly abysmal movie.

4/10

[IAmInsect]

need to see that

[fingers mccoy]

hancock

i didn't think a movie could get any worse than terminator 3

oh **** why was it so bad that looked awesome

i mean it didnt look like the dialogue was any good but i expected the plot to be great

[Reaganista]

hancock was great you would have to be the biggest most uptight piece you **** in the world to not like it

[Tillius]

The Breakfast Club

Yet another movie I can't believe I've put off watching for so many years.

4/5

[fingers mccoy]

hancock was great you would have to be the biggest most uptight piece you **** in the world to not like it

sick one

[Reaganista]

how could you have never seen the breakfast club the breakfast club is my entire life u gotta see it

[The Sludge]

Breakfast Club is probably one of the greatest movies in the 80's tbh.

[Happy]

28 Weeks Later
This was pretty good. the music rocked.
7.5/10

and apparently they're making a third one. 28 Months Later. possibly set in Russia. The good news: Danny Boyle is set to direct again.

Are you serious? Its rubbish. I'm dreading 28 months later and the inevitable 28 years,decades,centuries,millenia etc that follow.

[Tillius]

So far the 28 Days/Weeks series hasn't shown any reasonable worry for another sequel. 28 Weeks was nearly just as good as 28 Days, so right now there's no reason to believe that 28 Months, or whatever the sequel will be called, should be bad.

[Happy]

Really? Maybe it was just me that hated it then.

[Kage]

i think so, most people liked it

[EightMilesHigh]

I loved 28 Days but when I found out Danny Boyle/Cillian Murphy weren't returning for 28 Weeks I kinda lost interest.

[Knifeboy]

I didn't think 28 weeks was bad, it just wasn't anywhere near the first one

Although 28 weeks opening scene kicks a lot of ***


Edit: Oh, it wasn't made by the same director? that sure explains a lot, can't believe I didn't know that

[-Listy-]

can someone explain the big deal with 28 Days later please?

[EightMilesHigh]

can someone explain the big deal with 28 Days later please?

Um

It's awesome

Danny Boyle generally makes good films.

And it's Cillian Murphy kicking *** on zombies.

[-Listy-]

ok thx

[Kage]

Danny Boyle generally makes good films.

I wouldn't go that far.


Anyone here a Chaplin fan?

[Tillius]

I've only seen two Chaplin films in a class I took last year, but they were both great and I'd definitely like to see more.

[Prince of Darkness]

Are you serious? Its rubbish. I'm dreading 28 months later and the inevitable 28 years,decades,centuries,millenia etc that follow.

haha, yeah. I generally despise horror films, but these were really cool in a way. The setting in both films really add to the feel. A deserted London. and both films really showed that off well.

Although 28 weeks opening scene kicks a lot of ***

123.
When that song kicked in I was like 'hells yeah this movie is gonna be sweeeet!"

and it was.

Robert Carlyle saved it though.

[Reaganista]

euros like 28 days later because theyre too stupid to watch movies about america
the end

[Iscariot]

in regards to this page..

hancock is good
breakfast club is good
28 weeks later is good

all the haters can go drink bleach

/throws down

[Prince of Darkness]

could someone recommend me some good documentaries?
I recently watched Sicko and it made me want to see some other quality documentaries.

[Tillius]

Deliver Us From Evil
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
And if you liked Sicko then watch Moore's other works, Farenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
Jesus Camp is supposed to be pretty good as well.

[thedeadwalk!]

Jesus Camp
Hell House
Confessions of a Superhero
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
What Would Jesus Buy?
Super Size Me

[Prince of Darkness]

yeah I really want to see Jesus Camp. I always end up watching religiously themed documentaries anyway so it's cool.

[-Listy-]

i want to see jesus camp. people like that freak me out.

[jrowa001]

ive been meaning to watch Jesus Camp

[Tillius]

yeah I really want to see Jesus Camp. I always end up watching religiously themed documentaries anyway so it's cool.

You should really watch Deliver Us From Evil. Not religious themed(but I guess you could consider it that way) but it's a great documentary.

[Ventriloquist]

Sunshine

7.5/10

Decent sci-fi movie. Good to see some 2001: A Space Odyssey in it. It sounded ridicilous at first, people going to the sun to bomb it. However it got better and better. Worth a watch if you like sci-fi movies.

[Collis]

American Beauty.

Quite possibly the best film ever. Every actor/actress plays their role perfectly.

9-9.5/10

[Static]

Amazing movie. My 2nd favorite.

[Txus]

Deliver Us From Evil is one of the best d0cumentaries i've seen.

American Beauty.

Quite possibly the best film ever. Every actor/actress plays their role perfectly.

9-9.5/10

if it's the best film ever why doesn't it get a 10

[jrowa001]

i like American Beauty but it wasnt the best thing ive ever seen.

plan on watching Martian Child tonight, any good?

[Phalanx]

if it's the best film ever why doesn't it get a 10

Because no matter how you look at it, the ending is still anti-climactic.

[PshSam]

The crucible, Daniel Day lewis Is amazing as Jhon proctor,his final scene where he had to sign his name was soooo powerful.

[iarescientists]

Because no matter how you look at it, the ending is still anti-climactic.

well i mean, if he thinks it's the best movie ever than it should get a 10/10

plus the ending is ****ing perfect

[Phalanx]

well i mean, if he thinks it's the best movie ever than it should get a 10/10

plus the ending is ****ing perfect

Ocarina of Time is the best video game of all time (well actually, Majora's Mask is but whatever) and even then, that game isn't perfect.

Yeah, the ending was perfect, but you have to admit, it's not climactic.

[iarescientists]

Ocarina of Time is the best video game of all time (well actually, Majora's Mask is but whatever) and even then, that game isn't perfect.
You're not supposed to rank them on a scale of how perfect they are, because then there would be no point if nothing could reach 10. It's a relative score to other movies or media or whatever. So if he thinks it's better than every other movie it should be 10/10.

Yeah, the ending was perfect, but you have to admit, it's not climactic.

what the **** does it matter if it's climactic or not.

I think you're just being pedantic now :)



what the **** does it matter if it's climactic or not.

Because it was just guy shoots him in the back of the head - some monologue - people crying - the end

atleast that's how I remember it, I haven't seen it in a while.

[iarescientists]

I think you're just being pedantic now :)
okay so i don't think we're going to agree on this so we'll just move on

i didn't ask "how it wasn't climactic" i acknowledge it isn't very climactic. i'm just curious why the lack of a climax would effect rating the film.

[planewreck]

it was climactic

[McP3000]

because he's never ****ed a girl probably and knows nothing about a proper climax

[PshSam]

It was climactic, in that we knew it was coming from the very beginning, i don't know how it wasn't. Every thing was leading up to his death

[thedeadwalk!]

http://www.itsjustamovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/hot20fuzz20new.jpg

It's just beautiful. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright are an amazing combination. Nick Frost especially is a great character actor. The names, sound effects, build up, and references are done very nicely.

The special feature, on the Shaun of the Dead DVD as well, where they showcase a few scenes edited for television is hilarious. Hearing the things they say that embrace the already ridiculous sounding dubbing to take it over the edge are genius. My favorite is "peas and rice" in place of "Jesus Christ."

8.5/10

[Tillius]

Yeah I watched that the other night too and liked it. Much better than I thought it would be. Thought it would've sucked.

[jrowa001]

Joshua - 5/10. i was waiting for something really crazy to happen but nothing did. so many unanswered questions in this movie. acting was actually really good but the writing and plot development was really weak

[RunAmokRampant]

Okay which should i watch first?

Ran
The Dead Zone
The Wicker Man (not the NIc cage atrocity)
Deliver Us from Evil

[DeckerDontPlay]

eenie meenie miny mo that ****

[jrowa001]

ive only seen the Dead Zone and walken was great in it

[Meatplow]

ran is great

The Dead Zone is good but took me a little to warm up to it after I read the book, not the best Cronenberg either. The other two I have not seen.

[Cocaine]

Deliver Us from Evil
This. d0cumentary is just horrifying. It really bothered me, it's a must see.

[Tillius]

Yeah, Deliver Us From Evil is a must.

You really like movies nobody has heard of don't you? I just read up on it and those girls starring in it look 11 years old.

Pretty good Mel Brooks, although choppy. A different kind of story with good morals and such. But Mel Brooks is now old as **** at 82, wont be surprised if him and Leslie Neilson do their own bucket list, being as both of them are old as ****.

[Tillius]

That video store must suck. My Blockbuster right down the street has all of those movies.

[Meatplow]

The few in my town are the same, even when I am looking for relatively mainstream stuff.

For example it took me six months or so to locate The Big Lebowski back in the day when I hadn't seen it.

[Prince of Darkness]

yeah this one I'm at is probably the worst one. There is a better one in town though, but it's really out of the way and I doubt they'll have any of those movies. maybe trainspotting.

idk if netflix is pretty reliable or not but when i was using blockbuster online i would have to return 3 out of every 4 movies i rented and have them send me replacement after replacement after replacement because it looked like someone took a nail to the bottoms of the dvds and apparently blockbuster doesn't check for these things before they send the disks back out to someone else

No, Netflix is pretty reliable. I've lost count how many things I've gotten from them and I think I've only had to send them back a couple times.

Badlands

http://i35.tinypic.com/2qasppw.jpg

Terrence Malick's first, a road movie with a young Martin Sheen in a superb role as an outlaw on the run with his underage girlfriend played by Sissy Spacek. The story is engaging throughout and has a sense of spanning a lot of country, with excellent cinematography and soundtrack this film is pretty damn good.

Also this piece of music kept playing throughout I could not identify for the life of me but I knew was from another film, Gassenhauer from Carl Orff's Schulwerk according to wikipedia. It was also used in True Romance.

Burn After Reading. Enjoyed it quite a bit and Brad Pitt was nothing short of amazing.

[Pop music sucks]

In sequential order.

Married Life

7/10

Set in the late 40's in a film noir style. Excellent performance by Chris Cooper. Somewhat unexpected, although some expectations were called if you can guage how the film was moving and anticipating circumstances. The message of the movie was profound. There's a definite resonance with the married couples of this town, cheating on their other half without the knowledge of their partner, and continuing as if nothing has happened.

Bucket List

7/10

Definitely a schmaltzy movie with the requisite laughs at the requisite moments. Still entertaining nonetheless.

Street Kings (SPOILERS)

6.5/10

Somewhat convoluted storytelling. The character of Diskant's fiancee wasn't exactly touched on screen, only in a passing comment. The empathic connection of his death would've been far greater had there been some screen time with his fiancee, which we don't even see at all. Once you see Santos and DeMille apprehend Ludlow you can sort of tell that Biggs was in it only to capture Captain Wander.

[DBlitz]

Iron Man 4/5

I enjoyed it and the first part of the movie didn't drag on like Hot Fuzz.

Stimulating? Yes. Fulfilling? No. I don't blame Cronenberg - the film's matter and themes I just didn't care for that much. I could see the evidence pointing to Cronenberg having written a well thought-out film, but yeah, I just don't really care to invest in it any further.

Main highlight for me was that for the first quarter/third of the film, I was captivated. Material felt different in some way.

Burn After Reading - 6/10

Feels like an amateur took the Coen Bros. formula for stupid characters and silly hairstyles with a plot revolving around nothing and tried to make a film. Lazily written/edited/etc. The cast was great, especially Pitt but it really was just mailed in by the Bros.

The most underwhelming movie from them I've seen (all but the Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty)

[Luc214]

INTOLERABLE CRUELTY AND THE LADYKILLERS WERE GREAT

/rant

3:10 To Yuma.

8/10

now I hate, absolutely HATE the "western" genre, however I love the visuals, the idea of near lawlessness, and the mythos they hold.

This was great because it avoided the horrid cliches (minus the bit where Ben pushes open the swinging doors, I don't think I've seen a single western that DIDN'T have that) and had some awesome acting (I particularly liked Ben Foster) and a cool story.

I'm in a mood for good western type films so reccomendations would be nice.

I'm going to watch The Assassination Of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford next btw.

[planewreck]

i don't believe that film has swinging doors so yes

[Correction]

[Akira]

I finally got around to watching Rent last night. I don't know. At first I loved it, but after thinking about it and reading a scathing review I'm not as sure.

First off: the music. It is a musical after all. The music is fantastic. The songs are really great. On top of that, a few of the vocal performances are just amazing.

I just wasn't sure about the story. For one thing, I couldn't really connect with the characters. I found them to be a little obnoxious, and I think I was supposed to really like them. I mean, I liked Mark a lot, but the idea that, *gasp*, making money filming for the news is "selling out' just pissed me off. "Vie Boheme" is awesome in terms of the music, but the lyrics confused me. Was I actually supposed to think it was cool that these characters were dropping names like Maya Angelou? Because they sounded like obnoxious indie kids who are always sure to tell you how edgy and sophisticated their taste is.

That was my main issue with the film. Other than that, I just felt like the topics of AIDS and homosexuality weren't approached in a particularly interesting way.

I just don't know about this one yet. The music is great, and I really enjoyed it, but when you start to think about it it's really not a very good film besides the music.

P.S. Seeing people from Grindhouse in this movie was just weird.

[Joe]

I personally loved Rent, but I loved the story and the music so it was easy for me. I thought the cinematography was wonderful and the acting was fantastic. They're supposed to be obnoxious indie kids to an extent.

Did you know the story beforehand? I've seen it a few times before I saw the movie. The only thing I really didn't like is that they had Seasons of Love first, totally out of place from the story and only in there early because it's the popular song of the show.


Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny - 6/10

Funny enough to keep me entertained. Would watch it again high, but that's about it.

[IAmInsect]

how come?
you'll figure the "twist" out halfway through.

[badtaste]

It's not Hot Fuzz.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Once Upon A Time In America: Funny this should be brought up just before I post my review. Actually watched this over a week ago but haven't been on here since then. Yes, it is very long, though not quite 1900 long, but it doesn't particularly drag, rather has a sedate pace that feels very appropriate IMO. De Niro does not disappoint as Noodles, an ex-gangster returning home after a long exile following his brothers-in-crime were slaughtered in a shoot-out with the cops, following the end of Prohibition. The story traces with a strong sense of nostalgia the gang's childhood friendship and rise to wealth and influence. But questions remain unanswered in the present day. - 9/10

Talk Radio: Based on the true story of a Jewish 'shock jock' assassinated by neo-nazis, this Oliver Stone film is mainly powered by an electric, frantic performance by Eric Bogossian (who incidentally wrote play upon which the film is derived), who satirises and mocks his callers without mercy. Unfortunately, some of those telephoning don't get the joke. - 8.5/10

Taste The Blood of Dracula: Christopher Lee, cleavage, viscous blood and wonderfully over-dramatic '60s British acting. - Hammer Goodness/10

That's the thing. The cinematography, acting, and music, are all fantastic. And like I said, I really liked it while I was watching it.

All I knew about the story beforehand was that it has broke gay Bohemians with AIDS.

I'm just being hard on it, I guess. I'm just not sure about the characters. That's what has really been lingering. Screw "la vie Boheme," get a job.

8.5/10

[thedeadwalk!]

you'll figure the "twist" out halfway through.
It's still one of the better horror movies this side of the millennium with more atmosphere and scares than most recent ones combined. It's a genuinely good story, too.

This is my own pet-peeve, but it pisses me off every time someone complains that they figure out what's going to happen. If it's a good movie, there'll be clues that foreshadow it, or, perhaps more often now, people have wised up to filmmaking and can see that what's usually "the" worst thing that could happen to the protagonist will happen by the end. Everything builds on itself in a movie world, otherwise you're left with moments like Saw, revealing pivotal exposition in a one minute montage that becomes convoluted.

Not to knock "surprise" endings, but movies often put the audience in a position of power knowing many things the characters do not. It feels stupid to me to then take this cheat sheet given us by the filmmakers and scoff at the movie because we know what's going to happen. All that aside, I'd still prefer this over "WTF?" moments, and confusion. Of course, this isn't an excuse for revealing too much information too soon. There are mistakes for any method.

And, this is not directed at IAmInsect, but something that's been bubbling for a while in me. :smoke:

High Fidelity

I like it way more than I probably should. I fully recognize the over-written dialogue, and I'm more than aware of the repetitious pathetic fallacy of Cusack walking around emotionally overwhelmed in the rain. But in both cases, you have to assume it's intentional; if it weren't why would there be such shoved-in nods to topics as inane as the characters Top 5 side 1, track 1s, or why would Cusack be caught in the rain so many times? I guess it's the self-awareness that gets me. That and the fact that I can seemingly relate to it in a sort of projected future sort of way. That and I just like the movie.

Prime Cut

http://i38.tinypic.com/20frm69.jpg

Very unusual movie, from the opening introduction scene of an abattoir at work you get a sense of something being a little... off. These scenes of industry are rather humbling, the rest of the film is very redneck america in image with Lee Marvin's character offsetting this as a city hitman hired to debt collect from slaughterhouse operator Gene Hackman who is not just selling meat.

There are some unsettling themes here sandwiched in between some action sequences where Marvin acts cool and collected with some serious hardware. The film is very strangely balanced and it's awfully difficult to describe, but it has a unique effect.

Metal slug was ridiculously fun...**** YOU.

yeh but watching it for an hour and a half with the faux-nazis, the zombies, the aliens, the alien zombies and the alien zombie faux-nazis removed, the vehicles strictly derived from the 'realistic' category (herds of black fbi cars and helicopters, as opposed to infinitely manoeuvrable submarines and dual minigun-equipped camels) and no one saying 'yer greaaaaaat!' when the protagonist owns the crap out of a mission? nah.

didnt the wall-e screener have mega-obnoxious property tags? like, instead of just a notice every once and a while, it had one at the bottom and the top throughout the entire movie?

i mean i downloaded transsiberian (which i've yet to watch) and it had a full screen property tag thingy but it only shows up like three times i think. but a constant little ticker is damn annoying, almost like a workprint

[Surf]

I've downloaded Wall E, the dvd screener with the tags.

Turns out someone's cropped the screen to take the tags out. I just gotta hope that nothing interesting happens at the top or bottom.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, there's one that's cropped but that seems like it'd end up at a really awkward ratio. There's also one where someone inexplicably blurred the watermarks with a purple hue. At this point, I'll just wait for
a) Better screener
b) DVD rip
