I've watched me some pretty nasty films. But by god, nothing, nothing compares to this. This was some wild shit man. I couldn't even finish watching it, that's right. I stopped watching half way through, why? Not because it was scary, because it wasn't. It was fucking gory, too gory for my tastes. I felt like a buster, but man, sometimes, you gotta know when to quit.

Apparently, there's also a remake coming up. I expect that hollywood will cast Megan Fox.
Definitely check out Louisiana Story. Really quite neat. I think it is still in print frim Janus/HVE.big ander said:Saw Nanook of the North, the famous "first feature length documentary" from 1922 last night.
Was decent. It was a cool (and fabricated, I learned before watching) look at Eskimo life.

I barely saw an hour of it. Really bad, I can't believe so much of GAF is in love with this movie, it's dreadful.

I might give it another try, I haven't returned the disc yet. It certainly was pretty.Liara T'Soni said:It's probably a cliche to say, but I believe, and I know many others believe this as well, that the movie really doesn't "click" until the end. You've probably heard that a million times about a million different films and been disappointed by most of them. But it seems to really ring true for a lot of people with Speed Racer. For me, it didn't really seem to have any real *point* until like, the final lap of the final race....:lol But after that, I really came out of the film having enjoyed the experience.
Coincidentally, knowing that you're a Lost fan (LOL, this is like the second time in a week I've said that to you), the film doesn't really get out of a rut until Matthew Fox's character begins to have a real presence.
Not a Jellyfish said:I just watched Trick R Treat, wasn't too impressed with it but it was decent. It kept my attention, I just thought some of it was a little comedic...not sure if it was intended to be. It might also be because the last horror film I watched was The Loved Ones, amazing flick.
Yeef said:I just watched Severance (2006). Some random movie I recorded a few months back. The description made it sound like some generic slasher flick, but it's so much more than that. It's actually a parody of the slasher genre and a great one at that.
Maybe I enjoyed it so much because I didn't know it was a comedy going in, but it hit all of the right beats and there were tons of moments that made me laugh out loud. The pacing is also great; much like true slasher flicks it starts out slow and ramps up more and more with each scene both in terms of plot and comedy. I definitely recommend it.
Apparently, it's available on Netflix Instant. Check it out.
Yeah, it seems like a no brainer that that is exactly what mankind is going to do so why make a movie about it?NEOPARADIGM said:Finally got around to seeing Avatar.
Neat. Very neat.
Beyond that? Nothing quite like a movie suggesting that in 150 yearswhite peopleAmericanshumanity will still be doing the same stupid genocidal shit in pursuit of money.
6/10

After the introduction is over (first forty minutes) the second plot begins. And it's a PTA movie. So there will of course be excruciating drama and circumstances placed on all involved.Hard Eight (Sydney): To give it some credit, I was tired after watching Moon, and went into this expecting the best. I only made it halfway through, and maybe it picks up later on, but for a PTA picture I was really disappointed. What I saw was not bad by any means, but it just did nothing for me. I plan to finish it, and hopefully there is a payoff, but it failed to incite much interest or drama through the first half of the film.

Shinya Tsukamoto is my god. Third Tetsuo movie feels like a car-comercial/Western-remake of the first.
That describes just about every martial arts film I've ever seen, baring one or two.Killamangiro said:I too watched Chocolate after recommendations here and though fighting scenes were good everything else was really bad.
abstract alien said:Avatar: The Last Air Bender - Much better than most claimed it to be with some really nice action sequences with good camera work to boot. Didn't really see much wrong with it outside of the movie being in fast forward. Enjoyable, but it was what I expected it to be and nothing more.
Loxley said:So I watched a lot of classic westerns over the last two days that up to this point I'd missed out on:
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (*edit - o hai Net_Wrecker) - 5/5 - I watched this without having seen the two previous films in the "The Man With No Name" trilogy, and I have to say: fucking amazing movie. I'll admit that at first the absurd amount of dubbing was unexpected and bothered me a lot, but after doing some research and finding that Leone did this with almost all his films (as did many Italian film makers, apparently) since he let the extras speak in their native tongue and just dubbed over them with English. So knowing it wasn't incompetence and just the way Leone made his films, I stopped worrying about it
Also, Eastwood really is just the classic badass.
The Wild Bunch - 4.5/5 - I know this film is known more for it essentially revolutionizing the way gun violence was portrayed in cinema (in addition to it's fast-paced editing/slow-mo shots), and man I can see why; some of this shit is just brutal . Overall I felt the performances were the best part, since the movie does drag here and there. But I can see why it's considered to be a classic.
The Magnificent Seven - 5/5 - Rarely do I think ensemble-cast movies work, but some how this one just really does. Of course Yul Brynner (an actor I'd never even heard of before) steals the show; very charismatic and has a commanding screen-presence.
Once Upon a Time in the West - 3.5/5 - Okay here's one I don't get. I understand it's Leone and Charles Bronson, but I was bored throughout most of the movie. It wasn't bad obviously, I did love the cinematography and I now simply have a soft-spot for Leone's style of film-making, but (and I hate to say this) I think Charles Bronson was only capable of making two expressions throughout the whole movie, which urked me.
I think that's simply because I've noticed a lot of cowboy tough-guys back in the 60's all loved to do one thing: squint their eyes, make a cocky smile, then light a cigarette like they're kings of the world who could give two shits about anyone, knowing they could kick anyone's ass. By the time I'd gotten Once Upon a Time in the West, I'd already seen about a dozen actors do that in other movies so I was simply tired of seeing it. This may have been what soured my view of the film overall.
I still have yet to see Unforgiven, and I do want to see both A Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More (although I hear the latter is the weakest of the Leone/Eastwood bunch). Part of me wants to watch True Grit simply out of anticipation for the Coen Brothers' adaption coming out next month. So yeah, I've got a few more to do![]()
You seem to watch movies that are fun and judge them fairly.Count Dookkake said:TETSUO THE BULLET MAN
Shinya Tsukamoto is my god. Third Tetsuo movie feels like a car-comercial/Western-remake of the first. Beautful to look at, great music, brutal revenge... this flick has it all. Also features some odd references to Evil Dead 2 and Inferno.
Fun movie.
Shame it did not get too much notice.
Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite Leone western. Fonda's performance alone puts it in the top tier for me.Loxley said:1.) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
2.) The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (this movie is only held back by what I still maintain is a mis-cast of Brad Pitt as Jesse James)
3.) Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid
4.) The Searchers
5.) 3:10 to Yuma (the 2007 remake)
6.) The Proposition
7..) The Magnificent Seven
8.) The Wild Bunch
9.) Everything else.....
Agreed. As far as later Ford works go, Liberty Valance is much more deserving of the praise and notoriety that is often heaped upon The Searchers.Snowman Prophet of Doom said:I really, REALLY don't understand why The Searchers is as exalted as it is. Ford made way better Westerns.
Whoa! I've finally met someone that agrees with me.Dr. Strangelove said:Agreed. As far as later Ford works go, Liberty Valance is much more deserving of the praise and notoriety that is often heaped upon The Searchers.
