I'm going to buy an extra ticket now, write "Insane Metal" on it and give it to the ticket taker.

Why are you against people watching a fun popcorn flick?

I gave the trailer to a guy at work and he got pretty angry. It's because of people like you that these people are rich. I NEVER thought I would get a response like that from him. He loves stuff like LotR, Hobbit, Game of Thrones. It was really weird.

Pardon?

Sorry, was just giving an example of others irrationally hating on the movie.

I'm going to have so many movies to catch up on after I finish my X-Files binge watch.

Avengers, Lost River, and Furious 7 will finally bring me into paying to see movies again. Haven't gone since Guardians of the Galaxy.

Go see Ex Machina. Finally, non-UK people get to see easily the most confident sci fi film of the year. Not enough people are praising just beyond the themes and acting, the visual FX (Double Negative, got an Oscar on Interstellar) on Ava.
AlternativeUlster
Absolutely pathetic part deux
Probably Clouds of Sils Maria, Ex Machina, About Elly (probably at home since I have been sitting on a copy for like 5 years), Ned Rifle, 5 to 7, and maybe Furious 7 in IMAX while drunk or high.

Definitely catching Ex Machina, maybe Child 44 and Clouds of Sils Maria.

BEtween those ten I'd want to see either Furious 7 or Ex Machina.
Furious 7 because I fucking love action movie like that no matter what. And Ex Machina to scratch my sci-fi itch.

It doesn't open in the U.S. until May 1st.
Yep, first American actress to do so. It's quite good.
I have no idea what this means, really. But I simply pick the films that I can A) verify I love. B) look the most promising. I take no account into the budget of it. As for the "8 films you will not ever have access to," that simply isn't true. 3 will be on VOD, 1 will get one of the biggest releases of the year, and at least 2-3 should expand to most markets.
I would say virtually none of it is "squeamish," it's more about a psychological mindgame. The actual tone of it is fairly audience-friendly. The only disturbing section is the crimes by James Franco's character, but it's more the idea behind it than anything you see on screen.
I actually asked the director this and he had never seen it. Having seen both films, no, definitely not.
Not yet and I don't believe it's going to VOD immediately.
As someone who generally dislikes most blockbusters, I had an insane amount of fun with Furious 7.
Not legally in the United States.
That's very helpful. Thank you!
BTW, any idea if Kumiko might get a wider release, and if not, if a DVD/digital release would be in the cards soon-ish?
Expendable.
Member
It's slowly expanding, doubt it'll go very wide. Usually digital release is about 3 months from now.
Sounds good. I wasn't sure if it might be one of those indies that gets an early digital release to drive buzz a bit. Really eager to see that one. Anyway, thanks!

How does About Elly stack up against The Past? I enjoyed A Separation a lot but The Past is not too far behind in terms of impact.
Do us a favor and don't ever come back to his threads then.
Expendable makes a comprehensive list of films every month, both mainstream and not.
If you just want a list of the top 10 action $100M+ English-only films every month, just go to the box office thread. Don't shit up a very positive and useful thread for the rest of us.

Ugh. I was going to respond to this but linsivvi did it better.
Trio of films premiering on 10th April in UK seem interesting.
Jauja
Synopsis: A father and daughter journey from Denmark to an unknown desert that exists in a realm beyond the confines of civilization.
Trailer
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
Synopsis: A story centered on a pair of traveling salesmen who peddle novelty items.
Trailer
Bypass
Synopsis: Tim is a good kid. Tim is a criminal.

Amazon ships internationally and there is nothing "illegal" about buying a DVD from Europe.
Expendable.

Sorry, should have clarified. Until Friday, it has not been released by a U.S. distributor.
A Separation is tops for me, but About Elly is a close second. The Past felt a little too contrived for me, but I still liked it.
Jauja keeps growing in my mind. Such a great movie. Can not wait to see Pigeon, got a screening next week. Watched Songs from the Second Floor a few months ago, need to watch You, the Living in the next few days.

I already saw Furious 7 (which was great), and am planning to see Ex Machina.
None of the others interest me that much, unless they start getting some great reviews or Oscar buzz.

Clouds of Sils Maria, Ex Machina, Iris and About Elly have all gotten "some great reviews."

Ex Machina is the most alluring film on this list. Particularly after the rave reviews. Any word on a potential VOD release yet? This and It Follows are my two most anticipated films right now so I'm patiently waiting for the VOD releases for both. I take it April 10 refers to Ex Machina's US theatrical release? Not VOD?

Rebels of the Neon God is a must see.
Expendable.

VOD release will be in around 3 months.

About Elly is an outstanding film. Recommend seeing it. Would have thought it was on Netflix by now seeing as its years old now.

Really excited for Ex Machina, Alex Garland penning and directing a mindfuck scifi film... /swoons

Hopefully the android doesn't turn into a slasher villain in the third act!
Yes, still bitter about Sunshine.

Yeah, never got U.S. distribution...until now!

Man I couldn't make it through Sunshine, maybe I should give it another chance, or maybe not based on what you said?
Is Machina only doing a NY/LA deal tomorrow? Couldn't really find much info on where it's showing.
