The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Special Extended Edition

First time watching this movie in a very long time, and my first viewing of the Extended Cut.

Words cannot describe how much I love this film. It has always been a very powerful film for me, on many levels, and this viewing just matched up perfectly to move me deeply. Nostalgia of childhood combined with a present appreciation for the thematic and narrative depth of the movie came together to pull at my heartstrings. The emotions running through me the entire time were damn-near overwhelming. The prologue had me transfixed, with Galadriel's voice flowing through my veins, the Lords of Men and Dwarves and Elves chilling me. Elrond leading the Last Alliance had me on the edge of my seat, Isildur's triumph and bane filling me with hope and despair. The tail-end of the Riddles in the Dark got me pumped for next week. Then I saw the Shire as if for the first time, that familiar Bag-End theme bringing a bit of joy to my heart. Then sweet old Bilbo at last, toiling away on his book, down in Underhill. I damn-near cried at that. And all this was in the first 15 or so minutes of this near 4-hour film.

I love the Extended Edition. I don't think I'll be able to go back to the theatrical cuts, though I love them so. This just brought so much more into the movie, particularly with Boromir. Never before have I felt so much sympathy for him.

Now all I need do is watch the other two. I think I can do it before The Hobbit comes out.

You haven't seen The Two Towers or Return of the King yet, have you? If not, you need to get on that!



Anyways, I'm honestly almost as excited to watch my extended editions as I am to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey for the first time. Its been years since I've see the LotR movies, and only ever seen the extended version of the third, so its going to be one excellent ride!

This. Saw it for the first time last night.

It contains charismatic characters and stunning visuals but the plot feels like a missed chance. It could have developed into an epic adventure and instead goes somewhere you didn't expect it to go. And where it goes isn't bad, but it's certainly underwhelming. The first half is awesome though. It feels more like your average Disney princess film instead of your average Pixar film. Kids will love it. Adults will watch and forget.

6.5/10

I liked it; it just suffers from a cast of mostly uninteresting characters, being a bit too long, and the Preds barely do anything, and when they do it's pretty underwhelming. :P

Wow...its been a few years since I've seen this, and I've never seen the Extended Edition before, but I figured now was a perfect time to jump back into Middle-Earth with the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in less than a week. Anyways, what can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said? Its a truly beautiful film full of excellent characters, memorable events, breathtaking scenery, and inspiring presentation of such great human traits as friendship and unity. I loved the film and can now hardly wait to give The Two Towers another viewing.

Netflixed me some 80's sci-fi/horror

Breeders: 3 out of 10 - not so sure what i was expecting, but it certainly wasn't anything resembling a good film. An alien rapes virgins b/c he needs their purity to reproduce. The concept is novel enough i suppose. I'm pretty positive it could also double as soft core porn. Chicks just be getting naked. Also, except for a bit part here or there no one in this film is older than 25.

The Stuff: 6 out of 10 - it started off solid, but eventually went of the rails entirely when they brought in the local anti-communist militia lurking down in Georgia. Definitely interesting and entertaining, but it's only so good in the end.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Special Extended Edition

Much like FotR, I now don't think I can go back to the theatrical cut of this. The added scenes were simply great, fleshing out characters and filling in plot holes. The best scene by far was of Boromir and Faramir in Osgiliath. The insight into both character's motivations was just wonderful, making them all much more sympathetic and and full

As a child, I always liked this movie more than Fellowship. Now, I don't think I could possibly choose between the two of them.

Somewhat unrelated, but has anyone else but me, seen William Wylers The Collector from the 60s with Terrence Stamp and Samantha Eggar? It's completely different than this film, tonally speaking, but thematically you can draw a loose comparison with the plot revolving around a sick individual 'collecting' other people.

Yeah. Have more free time than I know what to do with now that the play's done.

Gotta get a job, soon...

But yeah, the Boromir/Faramir scene was something I'd heard about and was eagerly awaiting to finally see; two of my favourite character, on screen together. Was just wonderful to behold. The brotherly love combined with the rivalry brought on by their father. Those were all things I'd supposed before, through many viewings of the theatrical cuts, but it was great to finally see.

Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Excellent movie. Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski have great chemistry on screen (apparently off screen as well) and they really make a good job of showing the beautiful side of Australia in the first half of the movie. While still good, the second half (from the arrival in New York and onwards) isn't quite as interesting to me.

Completely agreed. I think the same goes for the sequel. In their New York settings, they become borderline slapstick comedy on repeat. When they get to Australia, the film suddenly comes alive and probably the best tourism advert of Australia ever made.

Indie Game: The Movie

8.5/10

All around great Documentary...could have been so much more if it didn't just focus on Super Meat Boy, Fez, and a bit of Braid, but it was good to see what at least a few indie game developers have to go through. Sweet moments with Super Meat Boy if you ask me, and Fez had like a ton of issues to go through, loved every bit of it.

The Guard (2011)
The Change-Up (2011)

I thought The Guard was great. I loved it. It has that same delicious British humor and wit in films like In Bruges and Snatch. The Change-Up was decent, some of the jokes fell flat, but good lord was Olivia Wilde a fox in that.

The Bourne Legacy (2012)

Decent, but not nearly as good as the previous three movies. This one just feels like it's setting things up and not like it has a story that works on its own. I did enjoy the first fifty minutes, with Renner running around in the wilderness, a lot more than I did with the rest of the movie.

Oh, and that was Hanzo from Predators at the end? I knew he looked familiar.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition

The Two Towers was always my favorite when I was younger, and watching it in its extended form now, I can see just why I loved it so much. I especially loved seeing the continuation of Frodo's and Sam's journey to Mordor, and I had forgotten just how sympathetic Smeagol/Gollum actually is. I always remembered him as the creepy little guy he is, but seeing all of his internal conflict as it plays out on screen was truly something to behold. The extended backstory for Faramir was was also very cool to see (I couldn't help but think of Thor and Loki a bit during the scene with him and Boromir). And then, of course, there's the Battle of Helm's Deep. Wow... An incredible film, and now I have only the conclusion of the trilogy to watch. I can not wait to finish the journey once again.

And with that, the journey is over. The memories that seeing this brought back were palpable. With the additional scenes, it was almost as though I were watching it for the first time again. Nary an eye was dry by the time it ended.

I won't make this long. The entire trilogy, as a single movie, is one of the few true epics of cinema, and in my humble opinion, the greatest film there is.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 7.5/10

Not gonna lie - seconds into the film, after the company logos pass by and that familiar music kicks in, I was all giddy and ready to just sit back and be transported to Middle-Earth, some 11 years after FOTR. The prologue is framed by Ian Holm thinking back on the quest that put everything in motion (Frodo is hanging around as well, just minutes prior to where we first meet them in FOTR). It deals with the dwarf culture at its peak leading into the unfortunate destruction of Erebor. I thought it looked pretty magnificent but it was really long. Some plus 15 minutes probably passed before the title card came up, transporting us into Bilbos (now Martin Freeman) encounter with Gandalf the Grey.

This is also where the dwarfs start to tumble trough Bilbo's front door and empty Bag End from delicatessen, bite by bite. I might as well say it right now - half of the dwarfs will remain undistinguishable from each other for the entire film. They hardly have any lines at all, giving the impression that they are there for slapstick comedy only. The other half make decent use of the material given to them - Throin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dwalin primarily with Richard Armitage's Thorin being the standout. After the hour mark, the quest is set in motion and the film starts to gain a forward momentum. And with that, I won't go further into the plot development.

Martin Freeman is pretty solid as Bilbo - he brings the unmistakeably 'British' (or too much 'Baggins' as opposed to Took as Gandalf would say) vibe to the character, which contrasts well with the dwarfs personalities. McKellen is Gandalf - enough said. His standout scene comes with the counsel that brings Galadriel, Elrond and Saruman back. This Gandalf is much less sure of himself in this company with Galadriel seemingly the only one siding with his agenda. Gandalf brings something to the table (literally) that gives Peter Jackson the opportunity to brings Radagast the Brown (Sylvester McCoy) into the story. This segment works pretty well but it could have been shortened somewhat. His encounter with dark forces at Dol Guldur is chillingly portrayed. It might be too goofy a performance for some but I don't see the comparison to Jar Jar Binks, as I've seen some mention.

Meanwhile we've got the Bilbo and the dwarf company encountering stone giants, goblins, trolls, orcs etc. and the red thread in this film, seems to be Thorin's distrust of Bilbo's skills - should he be part of this quest at all? It's no spoiler that the climax will answer that question profoundly for Thorin. By far the best sequence here (and in the entire film) is when Bilbo comes astray and meets up with Gollum deep inside the Misty Mountains - Riddles In The Dark. Andy Serkis' work here might just be my favorite performance in the film and it really makes Freeman stand out as well. To escape the caves and catch up with the rest of the company, Bilbo - now the ring-bearer, has to make a moral choice and that scene was shot to perfection. It will echo far into the LOTR films when you chose to re-watch them.

It seems the main villain of this film is Azog the Defiler and he sure fits the part. He doesn't have much screen time though until the end. Designwise, he's pretty well executed and one of the better realized CGI characters.

So the essentials of the film work. So, what doesn't quite work? As mentioned, half of the dwarfs are given nothing to work with. The scenes in Bag End could easily have been trimmed some 10 minutes and the cleaning dishes song+sequence feels really out of place. The Trolls and Goblin King sequences could also have been trimmed and the CGI work here is imo not up to Gollum standards. The trolls are clearly CGI, except for a few closeups. The feeling of the trolls and the characters inhabiting the same space isn't consistent enough. The rollercoaster ride through the goblin caves look very inspired by Spielbergs Tintin, during Tintins and Haddocks escape scene through a city with a lot of short cuts along the way. Plotwise, we don't really need to see 4-5 scenes with the dwarfs questioning Bilbo, when 2 would have gotten the point across. It's too becomes repetitive.

A note: there are several scenes and glimpses in the trailer that are not in this film. The whole Gandalf walking around Gol Guldur with a raised sword sequence for one. I guess it has been moved to be included in the next film.

Imo, the 3D looked fine for most of the film. It is easily up there with Prometheus, adding depth and texture to the image and not really throwing stuff at the audience all the time. Many close-up scenes look like regular 2D. So that's fine. Can't speak of the HFR element as we watched the 24fps version. Everything looked pretty gorgeous - the 3D tech doesn't account for that sense of 'fake sets' and 'tv-look' I've read about in reviews. Some pans have that 'choppy' effect but that's perfectly acceptable to me.

Btw: I called the last shot of the film just before the end credits :D

In conclusion I think The Hobbit is a pretty good experience overall and I immensely enjoyed my time in Middle-Earth. However it has pacing issues, it could have been +20 minutes shorter and the CGI work is pretty good, but uneven. Peter Jackson - you might wanna play it 'less safe' with the next films and try some new things with this world. The standout is finally bringing Riddles In The Dark to the big screen.

If I forgot something in this review, well sorry, but there's a lot of stuff to try and remember and include.

It deals with the dwarf culture at its peak leading into the unfortunate destruction of Erebor. I thought it looked pretty magnificent but it was really long. Some plus 15 minutes probably passed before the title card came up, transporting us into Bilbos (now Martin Freeman) encounter with Gandalf the Grey.

This is also where the dwarfs start to tumble trough Bilbo's front door and empty Bag End from delicatessen, bite by bite. I might as well say it right now - half of the dwarfs will remain undistinguishable from each other for the entire film. They hardly have any lines at all, giving the impression that they are there for slapstick comedy only. The other half make decent use of the material given to them - Throin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dwalin primarily with Richard Armitage's Thorin being the standout. After the hour mark, the quest is set in motion and the film starts to gain a forward momentum. And with that, I won't go further into the plot development.

Martin Freeman is pretty solid as Bilbo - he brings the unmistakeably 'British' (or too much 'Baggins' as opposed to Took as Gandalf would say) vibe to the character, which contrasts well with the dwarfs personalities. McKellen is Gandalf - enough said. His standout scene comes with the counsel that brings Galadriel, Elrond and Saruman back. This Gandalf is much less sure of himself in this company with Galadriel seemingly the only one siding with his agenda. Gandalf brings something to the table (literally) that gives Peter Jackson the opportunity to brings Radagast the Brown (Sylvester McCoy) into the story. This segment works pretty well but it could have been shortened somewhat. His encounter with dark forces at Dol Guldur is chillingly portrayed. It might be too goofy a performance for some but I don't see the comparison to Jar Jar Binks, as I've seen some mention.

Meanwhile we've got the Bilbo and the dwarf company encountering stone giants, goblins, trolls, orcs etc. and the red thread in this film, seems to be Thorin's distrust of Bilbo's skills - should he be part of this quest at all? It's no spoiler that the climax will answer that question profoundly for Thorin. By far the best sequence here (and in the entire film) is when Bilbo comes astray and meets up with Gollum deep inside the Misty Mountains - Riddles In The Dark. Andy Serkis' work here might just be my favorite performance in the film and it really makes Freeman stand out as well. To escape the caves and catch up with the rest of the company, Bilbo - now the ring-bearer, has to make a moral choice and that scene was shot to perfection. It will echo far into the LOTR films when you chose to re-watch them.

It seems the main villain of this film is Azog the Defiler and he sure fits the part. He doesn't have much screen time though until the end. Designwise, he's pretty well executed and one of the better realized CGI characters.

So the essentials of the film work. So, what doesn't quite work? As mentioned, half of the dwarfs are given nothing to work with. The scenes in Bag End could easily have been trimmed some 10 minutes and the cleaning dishes song+sequence feels really out of place. The Trolls and Goblin King sequences could also have been trimmed and the CGI work here is imo not up to Gollum standards. The trolls are clearly CGI, except for a few closeups. The feeling of the trolls and the characters inhabiting the same space isn't consistent enough. The rollercoaster ride through the goblin caves look very inspired by Spielbergs Tintin, during Tintins and Haddocks escape scene through a city with a lot of short cuts along the way. Plotwise, we don't really need to see 4-5 scenes with the dwarfs questioning Bilbo, when 2 would have gotten the point across. It's too becomes repetitive.

A note: there are several scenes and glimpses in the trailer that are not in this film. The whole Gandalf walking around Gol Guldur with a raised sword sequence for one. I guess it has been moved to be included in the next film.

Imo, the 3D looked fine for most of the film. It is easily up there with Prometheus, adding depth and texture to the image and not really throwing stuff at the audience all the time. Many close-up scenes look like regular 2D. So that's fine. Can't speak of the HFR element as we watched the 24fps version. Everything looked pretty gorgeous - the 3D tech doesn't account for that sense of 'fake sets' and 'tv-look' I've read about in reviews. Some pans have that 'choppy' effect but that's perfectly acceptable to me.

Btw: I called the last shot of the film just before the end credits :D

In conclusion I think The Hobbit is a pretty good experience overall and I immensely enjoyed my time in Middle-Earth. However it has pacing issues, it could have been +20 minutes shorter and the CGI work is pretty good, but uneven. Peter Jackson - you might wanna play it 'less safe' with the next films and try some new things with this world. The standout is finally bringing Riddles In The Dark to the big screen.

If I forgot something in this review, well sorry, but there's a lot of stuff to try and remember and include.

Great review, Eva! :)

Would you say that there's a lot of slapstick humour in this one?

And as for the "fake sets" and "made for TV" look, I think it was the 48fps element that brought those out, and it made the CGI that you mentioned look even worse (according to what I've read, anyway).

Well, glad you liked reading it  :)

No, there's not a lot of slack stick humor, but a couple of sequences are centered around it. In Rivendell, you have the dwarfs complaining about eating vegetables and the fat one falling on his ass because he's - well, fat. Nothing distracting though. Radagast attempting to help an animal has some comedic vibe to it, but it gets chilling really fast, with him barely escaping the sharp end of a morgul blade.

Your 48fps comment seems to be spot on, although I can't confirm it. I'd have to watch the film in that format to do that. Some reviewers recommended watching it in regular 2D or 3D first and then in HFR for a second viewing. I might just do that.

Another thing - three 3D trailers played in front of this, one being Life of Pi. Some 3D scenes in this, looked absolutely dreadful. A person in the foreground looks like he's situated inside the movie theater 2-3 rows down from your sitting, while everything in the background is up there on the screen where it belongs. But you can tell from what you're watching that there should only be some 5-6 feet between the person and the background - wtf?

Excellent review of The Hobbit Eva! Putting aside a few minor gripes that you and almost every other reviewer had with the film, I am extremely looking forward to watching it! ;D Out of curiosity, what did you think of Radagast? I know his reception was kind of mixed.



Anyways, I just got finished watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition!

The past week or so that I spent watching these films has been amazing. Return of the King is, needless to say, an absolutely perfect conclusion to the trilogy, and quite an astonishing film in its own right as well. I don't even know what to say at this point...the entire trilogy, the entire 11 hour epic of a film, is one of the most memorable movies I have seen in my life, and by far one of the greatest. And towards the end when Sam exclaimed "I can't cay it for you, but I can carry you!", that was by far the defining moment of the trilogy. I just hit me in all the right ways, and made the entire journey worth it. I have nothing but good things to say ROTK and the entire trilogy as a whole; The Lord of the Rings is a breathtaking film.

And now that this quest is finally complete, I am very, very excited to take a step back in time and embark upon An Unexpected Journey.

While I can recognize opinions such as 'a bit silly' to how Radagast is portrayed in the film, I thought the performance was good. Galdalf mentions that there are 5 wizards in total and Radagast gives you the impression, that they are quite different from each other. He's essentially a recluse, living deep in the woods with animals as his companions. The silly part comes with a bit of slapstick comedy, Sylvester McCoy doing facial expressions, having bird poo in his hair (and not giving a damn about it) and probably his rabbit-pulled sled (which in my opinion could have been better realized).

He's pretty instrumental to the story though. What he observes will most likely make Gandalf go explore Dol Guldur himself, confirming the true identity of The Necromancer. But that's for the next films, I suspect.

Yep - the LOTR films = the best film trilogy ever made. :)

Indeed. It is, however, a really a strange case, probably because it's such a strange film. While the story is good and the characters are quite cool (and I really did love the real world scenes and the stuff in Encom headquarters), the innovative effects really are the main selling point of the film (and I'm never one to judge a film based on effects). That being said, the effects too are quite strange. Certainly not bad, but kind of out there. Tron is an odd film, bit I love it to bits (speaking of which, Bit is quite possibly the greatest character ever put on screen :P ).

Payback (1999)

Not bad. Not bad at all. Mel Gibson plays Porter, a man who was betrayed by his wife and his partner, and left for dead with two bullets in his back. Now he's back for revenge. I loved Gibson's hard and gritty portrayal of this character, as well as the style and the feel of the movie in general. The acting was overall good and it was nice to see both Kris Kristofferson and William Devane in this. And I've got to say, Lucy Liu have never been hotter. Kinky girl...

I also read about the Director's Cut on Wikipedia. Sounds like a totally different movie.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Back into the arms of my first love-- Peter Jackson's Middle-earth.

I saw it in 3D and I think it was a mistake; while the visuals were amazing, and the 3D did the trick better than any other I've seen, I was distracted the entire time. I was bouncing back and forth wondering if it was the fact that so many of the creatures were CGI or that I found Peter Jackson's Middle earth to be alienating in three dimensions, and that's as far as I can chalk it up to. I'll be seeing it again in 2D, even though the 3D execution was superb.

The movie itself was beautiful. Anybody who knows me well knows that the Lord of the Rings are my favorite movies ever, standing on their own tier without competition, and The Hobbit without a doubt brought me back to that world I love so much (subconscious distractions aside). The characters were wonderfully acted, the script was full of charm, the score was breathtaking, the cinematography... well, I don't need to list it. You know Jackson's presentation.

The only time I found conflict with the lay of the story was the ending, which Aspie provided the ultimate analogy for:

Quote from: Aspie on Dec 14, 2012, 04:32:05 PM
But then...the movie just cut off. It ended...but in a way that is equivalent to pressing the SAVE button on a game, turning off the console, and then leaving the room.

I didn't find it in line with the quality of the endings from LotR movies in the sense that it concluded with any real emotional payoff or genuine sentimentality. Just a bro-hug.

There's a lot going through my mind right now and I'm just trying to round up all of my thoughts. I feel like there's so much to be seen, but struggling to see how they'll fit it into two more movies that will be longer than this one. Thorin Company's objective is now in sight, and not like Mordor was at the end of FotR, over treacherous mountain ranges, hills, and country, but in the distance of an open forest.

Coming out, I feel like I have more gripes and that everything I loved is so utterly apparent so I don't feel the need to speak on them. It's not being the victim of over-hype, nor is it my attempt at being overly-critical; just objective. That said, I also feel like a second viewing in two dimensions will do me favors. To conclude, I can say this-- I wasn't disappointed.

And for people comparing the apparent disappointment of the movie to The Phantom Menace or Radagast as a character to Jar Jar Binks... come the f**k on.

Pretty good. Kevin Costner hooks up with the wife of his friend, a Mexican crime lord. Needless to say, this guy doesn't take it very well and leaves Costner for dead and throws his wife into a bordello. All the characters here are in a pretty grey area, with no clear hero or villain. Well, Mendez was the villain, but Costner was far from heroic. What was he doing in the company of Mendez to begin with? I don't think we got a very clear picture of their relationship or background.

I think a lot has already been said about this movie. I know critics have had mixed reactions, but what's my opinion? I'll just cut it short and say honestly, I enjoyed it. It's a thrilling roller-coaster ride that's long but still manages to retain its charm. And just to stress out; this is a movie based on a children's book. Don't expect as much emotional depth as from the LOTR trilogy. And if you're really thinking that 'The Hobbit' has any chance of surpassing what the LOTR trilogy achieved, your hopes are up WAY too high.

Rating: 4/5.

Third installment in the rebooted Evangelion movies takes a big departure from the original series. Since the movie was in Japanese (sans English subtitles) and my fluency of the language is not quite 100%, I couldn't quite pick up everything that happened. But as far as I know, the story is set 14 years after the previous film, where everything's been pretty much....obliterated. Nerv is practically dead as most of its crew has left to form a new organization called Wille, led by Misato Katsuragi (no Kaji in sight though). Shinji has been lying dormant this whole time and hasn't aged a bit, let alone Asuka and Mari (for some reason I'm not aware of). Once he awakens, our hero is only treated with hostility from his friends. And it doesn't end there...

Some new characters have little dialog and hardly much depth, Mari and Asuka surprisingly take a back seat role here as the film mainly focuses its attention on Shinji and his relationship with Kaworu.

Decent follow-up on the whole, and the ending offers us yet another cliff-hanger. I won't reveal it, but I'm surely looking forward to the next (and supposedly final) film.

Rating: 3.5/5.

Scarred City (1998)

Stephen Baldwin is a cop transferred to a ruthless vigilante police squad called SCAR. He doesn't condone their methods and forms of justice, and it's easy to see where the plot goes, as they're trying to kill him. It's not a relatively good movie. Nevertheless it's fun to see Baldwin utter his lines without an ounce of emotion. :P

This was bloody fantastic. Gary Oldman plays George Smiley. An old spy pulled out of retirement to find a mole inside the British Secret Service. There really wasn't a bad performance in the film. Oldman was outstanding, as was Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)

I really enjoyed this. Sam Rockwell plays real life television host Chuck Barris, a womanizing television producer who created such shows as The Dating Game and The Gong Show; while allegedly moonlighting as a CIA assassin. The movie isn't as serious as it sounds. There's dark humor all throughout the movie. But I feel it works. Rockwell really gets into this character. Over the course of the movie, Barris pulls a Howard Hughes and becomes a social recluse, whilst descending into madness. And I thought Rockwell was superb. Drew Barrymore also gives a good performance, as does Rutger Hauer as a mysterious German assassin. I recommend giving this a watch.

Alien 3 Special Edition

Improves the film somewhat ...but not enough to get it to "classic level".

Love some of the added scenes: Junior sacrifice and death. / Clemens finding Ripley at the beach / Golic's dialogue about a sane man in an insane world / Extra bits here and there that distinguish the characters a bit more. / Cigarrettes!!! / Extra moments with Clemens...

Didnt like: The scenes that set up the ox being the "host". They also have Terrible dialogue that doesnt propel the film and plot forward.  Scenes with the dog where much better. / The Queen not bursting out at the end. (That's a final A-Ha! Gotcha moment for Ripley. One final f**k you that is sorely missed). / Some added little character moments could be chopped out... they add nothing of value to the flick.

My ideal cut would be somewhere in between the theatrical version and the special edition...

Gotta love Dillon's speech :)

Humans vs Zombies (2011)

Pretty C-List zombie flick, with slow mushy gushy parts. And at one time talking about "I'm gonna die a virgin" and all that jazz. Of course they pulled a 'kill everyone at the the end because we can! hurr-durrr', that being the male and female characters walking along the train tracks thinking they've possibly escaped. Soon the screen darkens for a few seconds before the screen came back in on zombies eating something (plus another wave coming in) and it turned out that the zombies we feasting on the girl and guy at the end of the movie. Then the end credit rolls in the form of "Game Over" before rolling the real credits.

6.5/10

Spoiler
I was quite fond of the security guard; Frank..  :(

Frank's death was never shown/mentioned.

Remains (2011)

Storyline (off IMDB):

A freak accident turns a bulk of the world's population into lethal flesh-eating zombies. A small and desperate group of uninfected human survivors take refuge in a vacant casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile, the undead outside become smarter, stronger, and more aggressive with each passing day.



But yeah, I've seen this movie a while ago and am now watching it again. It's one of those movies that creeps me out so bad, but I'm attached to it.  :laugh:

DRIVE 9/10

Good god this film was amazing, I had no idea of what it was really about, nor how absolutely brutal it was in some scenes. I thought it would be some sort of Fast and The Furious style kind of movie, but f**k me was I wrong.  The soundtrack was great, and fitted Ryan Goslings, rather outcast character very well. I'd recommend this film to anyone who has been thinking of, or hasn't seen this film yet.

Chernobyl Diaries 8/10

I was actually quite surprised by this film and how well it actually executed its horror. I wasn't really expecting much from the creators of Paranormal Activity, but the film was definitely creepy, atmospheric. I liked how the style that sometimes if a character dies, it's left up to the imagination of the viewer on how they are killed. It's probably one of the better horror films I have seen this year.

Dark Knight Rises 9/10

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (3D & High Frame Rate)

I have heard a lot about this movie the last week, both good and bad, so I was eager to check it out for myself. Overall, I found the good outweighing the bad by a mile. Let's start by talking about the HFR. Except for a few scenes, I loved it. I have never seen such a crystal clear image. My only complaint would be that some scenes seemed to move too fast, especially those with Radagast. Like they turned up the speed a notch. Speaking of Radagast, I didn't mind his character at all.

As for the acting, I think Freeman really nailed the role of Bilbo and the cast from previous movies (Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel and Saruman in particular) were all fine, though I must admit that Saruman's beard seemed a bit off. I was nice to see Elrond a bit more active and not just brooding in Rivendell. Richard Armitage was good as Thorin and I loved seeing his and Bilbo's relationship grow over the course of the movie. That brohug made me happy. The rest of the dwarves were fine as well, even though some of them didn't have much to work with. Did Nori even have a single line in the movie? I must admit that I didn't dislike Kili, even though I expected to.

As for the much talked about eagle scene, I didn't have a problem with it. I felt there were sufficient set up, with Gandalf talking to the moth. We had already been shown by Radagast that talking to the animals were within the powers of a wizard. Some other scenes I had more of a problem with or at least they didn't really interest me. Such as the wolf attack on their way to Rivendell and the Stone Giants.

The biggest surprise in this movie came from the Goblin Town and the Great Goblin in particular. Going by the trailers, I didn't care much for the look of either and I thought the goblins didn't look that convincing. But seeing it on the big screen, with that image quality totally changed my mind. The goblins looked great and the Great Goblin provided some great laughs, without getting too silly. Especially his last scene... "Well, that should do it."

Overall, there's too much good stuff in this movie for me to linger on the few bad things. Right from the very start the movie captured me with the beautiful imagery of Dale and Erebor and it kept me interested to the end, which I think was excellent. You know which scene I'm talking about and it certainly got me hyped for next year.

And since I felt like I was transported back into my eleven years younger self watching this movie, I couldn't leave the theatre without getting my hands on a deck of cards and a Thorin action figure. Ah, nostalgia...

The Hobbit: An Unexprherurhzzzzzzzz

In retrospect, attending an unreasonably late showing of the high frame rate version might not have been the wisest decision. Hell, after half an hour those two guys a row ahead stood up and legged it!

This bastard felt its length... and the extra frames lent a televised BBC Narnia production (remember those?) quality, which, coupled with largely pointless 3D, butchered the film's visual design. It was like a really well performed, but aesthetically brutal fever dream.

OTHERWISE, I guess it's an entertaining enough 2.5 hours of small people and homeless Magneto running away from CGI.

Superman vs The Elite

9/10

Holy shit I was not expecting such an intense film. My heart was racing at points, and the entire film basically showing the world not needed Superman since he has basically become irrelevant in the 21st Century. That to me was the most powerful moment in the film since I recall so many people today saying that Superman is a ridiculous looking character that has lost some, or what a few argue, all relevance in today's world. Seeing this actually play out in this film made me think.

A definite must watch if you ask me. I knew this movie was going to be one that I was going to watch eventually, but I wasn't expecting to be so surprised by it. I really f**king enjoyed it.

Jack Reacher (2012)

As a fan of the novels, I've been looking forward to seeing this movie since it was first announced. When Tom Cruise was cast to play the title character, I had my doubts. Reacher is supposed to be tall, like...Dolph Lundgren tall. Much to my surprise however, Cruise and the rest of the cast actually made something good here.

Based on One Shot (a novel in the series I haven't read yet) – a military sniper is accused of gunning down six civilians in downtown Pittsburgh. The opening was great – it felt pretty reminiscent of Don Siegel's Dirty Harry with Scorpio.

I think where Cruise lacks in size, he makes for in charisma. He brings a certain charm and nuance to the role. One great example is during a scene at a bar in which Reacher verbally humiliates a young girl and her idiot friends, which of course leads to an amusing fight in the parking lot. Werner Herzog as The Zec was pretty interesting. A character we don't see much of, but we learn little bits and pieces about him. Like oh...for instance, he chewed his fingers off in a Siberian prison before the frost bite destroyed them. It's a very creepy performance; very good too.

The film also features a wonderful police pursuit through downtown Pittsburgh with Reacher in an SS Chevelle. A nice action sequence I felt paid tribute to those action extravaganzas from the 70s like Bullitt or The Getaway.

I think in an age when more movies are becoming CGI spectacles, every once and a while it's still nice to see good old fashion action movies with your archetype hero. If this is a success, I am looking forward to seeing more Reacher on screen with Cruise in the driver's seat.

I really liked 11.22.63 back when I read it. It's long and can get a bit tedious but it's worth it. I suppose I should dip back into King. I haven't read anything of his since Salem's Lot a year ago. Which made me wee my pjs. And Misery seems like a good place to pick up again.

Ambitious and grandiose film adaptation of the famous musical is long but still entertaining for what it is. Remember folks, this IS a musical, so expect 90% of the dialog to be sung; at first it feels a bit awkward but you get used it as the story goes along. Kudos to the actors (gotta love Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen) and their wonderful performances.

Although I have to say that I thought Anne Hathaway was seriously miscast. Don't get me wrong; there's nothing wrong in her singing voice (and say whatever else you want about her), but her acting on screen was TERRIBLE. I couldn't watch her sing 'I Dreamed a Dream' with a straight face. Her overacting simply made me cringe. Good thing she was only in the movie for a short time. *sigh*

Rating: 4/5.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I loved it. No, I don't need to say more, I f**king loved it. Probably the only other movie that ties with The Avengers this year as my favorite movie of the year, just all around awesome, awesome movie. I nearly shed a tear in a certain scene, and that last shot...oh my god that last shot! :o

Are you me? :D

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

I've seen Red Lights tonight. Very interesting premise and well-acted. Cillian Murphy and Sigourney Weaver are great in this. The script was rough around the edges though. It's definitely worth a watch but nothing special.

7/10

That's one of the things I was referring to. Explosive sendoff was cool, but the fight with Ryan-Wolf immediately after was dull and disappointing. Could've also done without those hanging bodies.

That ending was great 8) The hanging bodies show you that the family did kill and store Ryan's team. Also it is one of the best werewolf movies around. Neil Marshall ;D

Shame you didn't like it as much as i do :-[

Oh don't get me wrong. It's a really good film and better than most of what the genre can offer. I really really like it.
Despite that however, some things could have been avoided. Did we need the vomit scene, for one? The hanging bodies (those Cooper sees after the big explosion) could have been left unseen. We already knew the family stored bodies somewhere in the house when Cooper and Wells entered the wardrobe.

Life Of Pi.

Touching, beautiful and poignant.

5/5
When I talk to people about the faults in The Hobbit, they say that it wouldn't work if it stayed too close to the novel. But Life of Pi indicates exactly the opposite.  ;D

The Punisher (1989)

The moment I glimpsed the silhouette of Dolph Lundgren's scrotum dangling over the sewer floor, I knew this was a movie for me. By that, I mean it's another classic case of hilariously macho-yet-sexually insecure "white man porn" (thank you, Daniel Craig) from the greatest decade I wasn't around for.
 
I'd be hard pressed to pick just one favourite moment. Highlights include Frank Castle's early shotgun/crossbow-happy dockside raid, along with Castle's apparent hatred of casinos, the abandoned carnival ninja legion ambush of sliding doom, the thespian tramp who speaks in rhymes, the obligatory homoerotic torture sequence that gets Lundgren's shirt off, the back-story hinting towards a gay love affair between Castle and the black guy from Jaws III, two seven-year-olds committing gruesome manslaughter aboard a speeding bus, Castle and that French guy gunning down swathes of very unprepared Yakuza, and a smattering of brutal misogyny.

Not to mention Lundgren appears completely baked throughout. I'm pretty sure his panda eyes and stubble were spray painted on to resemble a skull.

Basically, it's a f**king masterpiece.

And the Dutch Blu-ray's decent, if not spectacular. 1080i transfer, original stereo audio, R rated cut (same old MPAA edits) and zero extras, so there's some room for improvement (I hear ze Germans are putting something together).

Best early Christmas present I've ever bought myself.

Let's not forget the remote control truck carrying booze! That review made my day, thank you. I still have that movie on DVD and cherish it. Might give it a re-watch after Crimbo.

And Dolph does look completely out of it doesn't he? :laugh:

The boozemobile was a wonderful moment. :D

And yeah, I think Lundgren would go on to channel this performance for Command Performance (in which his character is high in the sky). Assuming he was acting...

The Sessions - 4/10 - One of the strong Oscar contenders for this year according to critics... I'll have to strongly disagree with them. The acting is fantastic and some moments are hilarious, but the movie never finds itself. There's no buildup towards anything. Just a series of scenes which mix comedy and drama in a weird fashion. Then, the movie suddenly ends. You're supposed to feel emotional at the end, but I honestly didn't. Poor man's The Intouchables IMO.

P.D. - I actually saw this nearly two weeks ago in a pre-screening, but I didn't post my thoughts in here back then. :P

The Expendables 2 (2012)

It's fun to see my favorite beefcakes of yesteryear come together again – some for the first time in a bigger, better and much more homoerotic sequel. You couldn't ask for a better opening...seriously. There has to be at least a hundred people that die in the first 15 minutes alone. This would have been the finale to Commando 25 years earlier. But Stallone and director Simon West cleverly set it up as the film's opening gambit.

From there things take grim turn as the team meets The Muscles from Brussels – and he awesomely kicks a knife into Liam Hemsworth's chest. I have to say...Van Damme at times steals the show. When he's on screen I can't take my eyes off him. It's such bizarre and chilling vilain (hur hur) performance. If he's not kicking knives into Thor's brother, he's using children as slave laborers or driving trucks through airports full of "PLU-ton-E-um". And not to fear, he pulls of his signature helicopter kicks spectacularly. I hope he's just as weird in Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.

Also the Bigger Guns, Bigger Heroes doco was fantabulous.

Prometheus

This is my first time watching Prometheus since June in the theater, actually. In my original review (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=9937.msg1406200#msg1406200) six months ago, I claimed to love the film, though I most certainly had a few gripes about it as well. Over the past half a year, AVPGalaxy and the Internet in general has been flooded with numerous reviews, analyses, discussions, and interpretations of the film, citing and elaborating on the many positive and negative aspects of the movie. I myself partook in many of these discussions (for as long as I could stand being in the Prometheus board, at least) and, over the course of the six months, found my opinion swayed a bit as I listened to and contemplated the many arguments against the film. But now, after spending all this time reflecting on the movie and discussing it with you guys, I think I can finally give a completely honest representation of my opinion.

It is no secret that I absolutely adore Alien and consider the near-perfect film to be one of the best ever made, so I think that it is safe to say that I may have been a bit biased going into the movie. That being said, I do find myself a bit disappointed that Prometheus altered one of the core core elements in Alien; that element being the 'alien'ness of the film, of course. Gone is the horror discovered in the form of the Space Jockey and it's mysterious cargo in the Derelict spacecraft and the dark and claustrophobic hallways of the Nostromo. Instead, this movie presents an elaborate story encompassing much grander themes and asking much more intimate questions; who are we, where do we come from, and why are we here? It is in these themes that Alien and Prometheus are so jarringly different that they can not be compared, and thankfully during this viewing of the film Alien was kept as far out of my mind as possible.

Because Prometheus differs so fundamentally from Alien, it is obvious that the movie will meet some criticism based on that fact alone. Clearing my head from those thoughts, I went into Prometheus tonight with nothing more than hope that maybe the criticisms that I allowed myself to believe over the past six months were just figments of my imagination, and that Prometheus would indeed be the beautiful film I left the theater believing it was. For the first hour or so of the movie, Prometheus was just that; a visually stunning, engrossing, and beautiful film that swept me up in it's presentation of the concept of 'Gods and Engineers', as Ridley Scott described it. I found myself in love with the world of the film and the themes that it centered around, and even found myself genuinely questioning not just the complaints that I have read online, but also the ones that had arisen in my head in the long gap of time since I had last seen the movie.

Then I reached the second half of the movie. I will say now that I was not exactly disappointed by this half of the film, but when watching it I certainly had some familiar criticisms pop into my mind. The pacing, unfortunately, is all over the place, and there are numerous spots where it felt like important sequences were missing. The time between Shaw learning of her pregnancy and her self-applied surgery was simply too short to become invested in that particular plot point. Also, the fact that Shaw did not mention her 'child' to anyone afterwards was ridiculous. It's unfortunate, because the med pod sequence was easily one of the film's best, but it did not have a proper set up or resolution. From that point on, the sequences involving Weyland and the zombified Fifield are just too choppy, probably ad a result of them being shifted out of order. The first time I watched Prometheus I had no problem with Shaw's confrontation with the Engineer in Vickers' shuttle, but this time around it was painfully obvious that a great deal of it had been cut out and the sequence simply played out too fast. Speaking of too fast, the birth of the Deacon seemed a bit jarring this time around; I was emotionally invested in Shaw's story and found myself in love with the excellent homage to Alien as she left her log at the end of the film, and was taken a back a bit when the Deacon emerged from the Engineer's dead body. While I do really like that scene, I think it would have worked better with a few more seconds of black screen before the scene played out, or maybe even by moving it to the end of the credits.

While the previous paragraph seems to give the impression that I did not like Prometheus this time around, I would like to reiterate that I did indeed very much enjoy the film, and that I am very glad that I now have it as a part of my collection. Unfortunately the later half of the movie suffers from a plethora of avoidable pacing and editing problems that should never have made it into the final cut. Still, as a whole, Prometheus is a very intricate and satisfying film that I will be pleased to watch again and again, and hopefully I will pick up on more of the elaborate visual and thematic elements that are present throughout the entirety of the film. Flaws aside, Prometheus laid down a very solid and captivating foundation for further stories set in the Alien universe, and I eagerly await the potential Prometheus 2 that Ridley has talked about.

Yes, they have excellent production values, even when measured up against +$100m budget blockbusters of today. I might just have to track down Red Sonja one day to 'finish' it off, even though I personally can't stand that woman - Brigitte Nielsen. :D

I just returned from my second viewing of The Hobbit and this time I watched it in 2D and 24 FPS. There's a clear difference between this and 3D/48 FPS, for the better and the worse. While the movements of the characters looked more natural in 24 FPS, some of the scenes (especially the one with Radagast being chased by the wargs) looked really blurry, something I didn't notice while watching the movie at a higher frame rate. I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Other than that, my opinion on the movie remains more or less the same. I have no problem with the pacing. Freeman's take on Bilbo was even more enjoyable this time around. His best moment was when he was deciding on whether to kill Gollum or not. Ian McKellen is of course Gandalf and nothing's going to change that. Of the dwarves, both Thorin and Balin are very well played and the rest of the cast does a good job as well, even though they don't get quite the same time to shine. But I'm looking forward to seeing more of them in the sequels.

Some spoilerish thoughts...

Spoiler
That last shot of Smaug is great. As for the blue colour on him, I'm pretty sure that's just because he's waking up from a long hibernation and it takes a while for the blood to get pumping, which is why he turns red as we zoom in on the eye.

When it comes to the eagles, I don't have a problem with that scene. It was established early on with Radagast that the wizards could talk to the animals and as such I don't find it far fetched that Gandalf would ask them for help. Why not fly the dwarves closer to the Lonely Mountain you ask? Why would the eagles leave their homes unprotected to help a bunch of dwarves get their gold back? I can't imagine they'd care much. And it's not exactly like they would be safe up in the air, with Smaug around. At least as far as they know.

Azog. Don't really know how to feel about this guy. I don't really feel strongly about him either way. Speaking of Azog, I do think I managed to spot Bolg at the battle outside of Moria. At least there was someone who looked a lot like him getting beaten up by Dwalin.

And some favorite scenes would be...

Spoiler
Pretty much anything at Bag End.

The dwarves charging the trolls in order to save Bilbo.

Riddles in the dark and Bilbo's escape.

Bilbo saving Thorin's life as well as their hug at the end. Seriously, I found that very moving.

Spoiler

- More love for Ken Stott's performance as Balin, how he interacts with Bilbo, tells Thorin's tale, puts things in perspective. I also love his look/design with that mad thick white hair. Reminds me of Doc Brown in some weird way.
- I don't get the eagles dilemma (as well). The helped out in LOTR as well - what's the big deal lol?
- Just maybe - was Dwalin present in the Moria battle scene sporting a mohawk on his otherwise bald head or was that just another dwarf?
- Smaug could be blue because he's a ... cool dragon :D

It's fantastic. A beautiful film, with great performances; Hathaway deserves a nom for Best Actress, at the very least. Just know that the singing never stops (as in, about 98% of the dialogue is sung); I've seen that throw some people.

Sweeney Todd, Singin' in the Rain, and Little Shop of Horrors are the ones I really wanna see off that list. Should give Chicago another watch, too; haven't seen it since I was about 7 or 8, but I loved it then. Saw the stage version of Sound of Music, didn't find it to live up to its reputation. I still might watch it sometime.

Moulin Rouge I have actually seen; I found it incredibly bizarre and not very enjoyable (I'm not a fan of Luhrmann's, barring the first half of Romeo+Juliet, which is hysterical). Across the Universe I've also seen, and I also did not like it; too much shit going on, too many characters, none of them were developed, and a few pretty shitty covers of Beatles songs (although some of their versions were pretty damn good).

Prometheus again.

A beautiful but flawed film. Its problems become even more obvious each time I see it, but I can't help but respect what it is going for, and while I would have rather the Space Jockey from the original film not wind up turning out to be a human in a suit, I really do find myself drawn in to the premise and loving the story. I just wish that the second half was handled better and not so rushed and poorly put together... Shaw's pregnancy and surgery, for example, happened in what, five minutes? That plot point definitely needed more time to gestate (pun possibly intended) and grow within the film. Still, I do like Prometheus quite a bit and am very much look forward to Prometheus 2.

Django Unchained

This was violent. Brutal. Beautiful. Magnificent. Cool. Awesome. Absolutely everything that makes me love Tarantino, in fact. I feel in love when the opening credits began, and subsequently allowed the film to disrobe me and have its way. It was just so... perfect. Up there with Reservoir Dogs out of good ol' Q's filmography. Ingenious casting, perfect performances (including the best I've seen the T-man bring to the screen to date), great dialogue, dark comedy and ridiculous violence, it had it all. I particularly loved the used of old school Western blood effects, with a bright blushing broth of blood blowing beautifully when bullets bit brains and brawn. And that f**king soundtrack!

At three hours long, it didn't drag a bit. The moment the movie ended, I wanted to see it again. Might just be my favourite movie of 2012 (although Kill Bill's still got fav Tarantino).

Go. Go see it now. But remember...

The Bourne Legacy (2012)

This was okay. It's a bit of a weird entry into the Bourne canon. It could have done without Cross in the wilderness for so long. Also the plot feels all over the place at times. Like why did that doctor shoot everyone? I can't seem to recall the motivation behind it. Also not sure if I like the whole genetic super-soldier thing. That doesn't seem to fit in with the franchise, which has a great sense of realism. Hopefully if they make another Aaron Cross movie, it's not as bogged down as this one seemed to be.

I can't help but agree with this. David Fincher's movie is beautifully shot and has some really great moments; but I tend to lean towards the Swedish version. It's rough around the edges but Rapace is outstanding.

The Kryptonite is much more believable. It's something more tangible as acts as a radiation. Where as GL's weakness is a color – which seems very silly. :laugh:

As in the yellow color spectrum in itself? But... our Sun constantly emits yellow light among other things... how does this guy survive? :D

Kryptonite just screams macguffin to me - the guy is impervious to anything any super villain can throw at him, so they invent this rock that can harm him and the various plots hinges on the villain getting his hand on kryptonite - otherwise, you've got no story, or a very boring one at best. :)

Making Superman so powerful that he could turn back time be flying around Earth fast enough is just silly and counter-productive.  :)

I agree with Eva on having Kryptonite being pretty much the only thing, besides magic of course, that can take down Superman anymore. He's grown too freaking powerful since he was created that it makes it nearly impossible to have any sort problem that Supes can't deal with.

Post by: Shasvre on Dec 28, 2012, 11:20:59 PM
I would just like to point out that there are plenty of villains that can take on Superman without the need for kryptonite. And when they do use kryptonite, it does not necessarily make for a bad story. It's all about how it's used. For example, it was used to great effect in both Birthright and Last Son. That would be all from me. :)



Skyfall (2012)

To put it simply, I loved it. It's up there with Casino Royale for me, despite being very different movies.

The plot was great, as was the acting. I really liked all of the new characters they added. Javier Bardem was excellent as Silva, with his crazy charm and quite creepy every now and then as well (especially the scene with the teeth). Naomie Harris was great as Eve and her chemistry with Craig was spot on. I kinda wish we would have seen more of her though, but I can accept that there wasn't really that much room for her in this story. Looking forward to seeing more of her in the sequels. Same goes for Ralph Fiennes as Mallory. I loved how they established his character in this. Bérénice Marlohe surprised me as Sévérine. I really liked her and Bond's chat at the bar. Well played by Bérénice.

And of course, hats off to both Daniel Craig and Judi Dench. They were both great. It was interesting to see a movie with so much focus on M. I have always preferred her take on the role over the others. She's the M I grew up with, so it comes with a bag of mixed feelings seeing the role handed over to someone else.

I loved the look of the movie as well. There were some really beautiful scenes in both Shanghai and Macau. And the third act, with Bond, M and Kincade at the Skyfall estate was thrilling. Great action all around. Couldn't help getting a Home Alone vibe from it, but more lethal.

I do have a couple of questions though...

Spoiler
What was Patrice up to when Bond followed him up that skyscraper. Okay, he was obviously assassinating someone, but this someone seemed to be in the company of Sévérine. They were both working for Silva, so was she only there to set up the target in his line of sight? Why not just have her "bodyguards" take care of the guy?

I also can't help but think that Bond's plan for finding Silva could have been handled a bit better. As it was now, he pretty much just lead Sévérine to her execution. They both knew that the crew on the boat were Silva's guys, so why not take them out before they reached their destination? Unless of course Bond knew that Silva would know something was up when he could not see them on the boat and as such pretty much just sacrificed Sévérine, proving what a ruthless guy he can be in the line of duty.

Kincade, you're awesome, but why wave that bloody flashlight around like that? :laugh:

Also, did anyone notice the cameo from this guy, when Bond was leaving the casino in Macau?

If not him, at least someone who looked very similar.

But yeah, to sum it up, I loved the story and acting, the action was great and I really enjoyed all the classical Bond elements, from Q to, well, you know what they are. No need to spoil it for those who have not watched the movie yet. ;)

Yeah, the assassination scene looks gorgeous and sets things in motion, but it makes little sense to hire an expert to shoot the guy from such a short distance, when Severine and her guys could probably have dealt with this guy themselves.

The only way it makes sense plotwise, is if it was devised by Silva to lure in a MI6 agent via Severine, culminating in Silvas own capture down the line. So, Patrice was just someone that was used in a larger plan he had no insight into - an expendable tool.

As for Severine - at that time, Bond doesn't really know who he's dealing with. Silva is an enigma to him, so he might not expect that Severine is just a tool as well and how Silva deals with his tools when they've served their purpose.

My best guesses. :)

Basically yes, I think so.

He wanted to confront her, see if she felt any remorse or guilt for the fate she had devised for him. He would only get a true authentic response, if M felt she had the upper hand on him, hence he would have to get himself captured.

Really? The only new film I particularly enjoyed this year was Skyfall (and the re-release of Titanic). Dark Knight Rises, The Master, Dredd, The Dictator, Ted, The Avengers, Prometheus and The Hobbit all ranged from reasonable to awful in my estimation (in that order). For me it's one of the most disappointing years for film in a long time, as it promised a lot.

Admittedly I'm yet to see Life of Pi, Les Miserables, Lincoln, Cloud Atlas, Cosmopolis, Sightseers and Looper.
Half of those aren't out yet over here, most of the rest saw negligible local showing time - only caught The Master when I was out of town.

Get the Gringo (2012)

Mel Gibson has had it pretty rough these last few years, mostly due to his own self destructiveness (sugar tits!). So it's sad to see once one of Hollywood's prominent actors (and directors) fall from grace. The Beaver didn't just bomb at the box office; it sank faster than the Titanic. So here we are with Get the Gringo, another one of Mel's efforts, which didn't make to a theatrical release.

So how does hold up?

It's good. Very good in fact. Gibson plays a career criminal who literally crashes into Mexico along with his partner, dressed as clowns. From there he's thrown into a notorious Mexican prison called El Pueblito. And that's really where the fun begins as we see the 'gringo' con local inmates and steal their money, all with the help of a ten year old boy. In many ways this feels like vintage Gibson, playing a likable tough guy – something that we're used to seeing in his career. To me his character felt a lot like Porter from Payback. That's a big compliment too. Payback is one of my favorite Gibson movies.

Fans of voice over narratives will also appreciate this, as Mel delivers his dry and often hilarious sense of humor for the audience, although it seemed to disappear towards the end. It would have been nice of it was there consistently throughout.

Suffice to say, Get the Gringo is a fun hour and thirty minute joy ride. Now I am truly looking forward to Mad Mel as the villain in Machete Kills.

Wyatt Earp (1994)

Kevin Costner is at times an excruciating actor to watch. At times he delivers outstanding performances and other times he comes across as wooden as floor boards. Sadly with Wyatt Earp it's the latter. He plays the famous gunslinger/law man who along with his brothers venture to Dodge City and later have the famous shoot out in Tombstone. Don't get me wrong, this is pretty decent movie with an impressive cast behind it. I just feel most of it comes across as...adequate or half baked? Personally Tombstone which came out a year before handled the casting of Earp and his brothers much better. Let alone that movie had a better cast all around.

The scene in this movie, when Morgan dies was frustrating to watch. Not because it was sad but because of Costner's acting or in-acting. He just stands there with a blank look on his face. To me Tombstone handled that scene much better; it felt much more emotional, pulling terrific performances from both Kurt Russell and Bill Paxton. And then there's Doc Holiday. Here he's played by Dennis Quaid who is almost unrecognizable. Holiday seems a bit more douchey here. And again I got back to Tombstone which had Val Kilmer playing the character. His interpretation was much more badass.

Wyatt Earp isn't a terrible film. It's just average when compared to the superior film Tombstone that came out the year before.

Jack Reacher - 7/10

Sneak showing yesterday night just happened to be my first night in town since I got ill, so I needed it badly. Went into this from the good word of mouth and nothing else - I've never heard about the book series before now, this one being based on 'One Shot'.

While I came out of this, thinking the character of Reacher was a bit thin or one-dimensional, I also felt that the film was a very welcome return to 'old fashioned' action movie making. The action scenes and fight choreography is pretty terrific and not a trace of CGI in sight. It all looks like it's done on set, captured in camera. Cruise channels that part of the character pretty well. Even walking around without a gun, he's a lethal weapon all by himself if someone corners him. I couldn't help thinking of Clint Eastwoods preacher on a pale horse in Pale Rider, sorta arriving from nowhere, going by his own set of morals. I'd just wished a bit more meat to the character than what's present in this film, but I can live with it.

Robert Duvall and Werner Herzog have some pretty terrific moments with what they're given to work with. The Zec being displeased with one of his henchmen and asking him to 'do that thing' to himself was chilling. 'Did I have a knife in Siberia?' They didn't need to give him that dodgy blue eye to get across how twisted this guy is, but perhaps the character is written like that in the book. Some pretty good banter between Cruise and Duvall reminds you of Days Of Thunder in a good way. Rosamund Pike doesn't really have that much to do, but react to whatever Reacher is doing when he's around.

Kudos for that ending. The standard action movie would most likely do it different, to make a point of some higher morale, but not a Jack Reacher movie - and I love that!

Question:
Spoiler
When Robert Duvall's character (can't remember his name) is giving suppressive fire so Reacher will have more luck getting down there in the climax, it seems like he's missing all the targets deliberately... or he's just rusty. What do you think? No matter what, their crazy plan worked in the end. :)

I'm pretty much throwing up now. One of the worst trailers of the year proved to be for one of the worst movies in general... holy f**k, I'm literally nauseous just thinking about it. I wish there was some way we could stop shit like this from being made.

Worst movie I've seen this year along with The Amazing Spider-man.

Prometheus once again.

This is my third time watching it since I got it on Christmas, and my fourth time total; I just keep finding myself drawn back to it. I spent my last two times watching focusing a lot on the problems the film has (which, quite frankly, are quite numerous), but for some reason this time most of those complaints never entered my mind. I was completely immersed in the film, and I have to say that this was my favorite viewing of the movie yet. I said this in my original review of the movie, but retracted it when I gave it another viewing last week, but now I think I feel compelled to say it once again: I love this movie.

Prometheus once again.

This is my third time watching it since I got it on Christmas, and my fourth time total; I just keep finding myself drawn back to it. I spent my last two times watching focusing a lot on the problems the film has (which, quite frankly, are quite numerous), but for some reason this time most of those complaints never entered my mind. I was completely immersed in the film, and I have to say that this was my favorite viewing of the movie yet. I said this in my original review of the movie, but retracted it when I gave it another viewing last week, but now I think I feel compelled to say it once again: I love this movie.

As disappointed as I was with Prometheus, I didn't hate it.  I can still watch it and find things I love about it.  And I still think it's one of the best sci-fi films in years.

Spent most of yesterday in bed recovering from a New Years Eve/Day hangover. Granted AMC was showing these, and I watched them both from the confines of my comfy bed. Next to sleep and water, Max blasting away homoerotic biker gangs helped settle my stomach.

Toy Story (1995)

Ah, 'dat nostalgia. I love this movie and these characters. I watched it a lot when I was a kid and it pure joy to get back to it again. And this time with the original voice actors, no less. I have only watched it with the Swedish voices as a kid. Gotta love Sid's room, by the way. The Silent Hill of toy world.

Actually, there was one thing I didn't care for this time around...

21 Jump Street

It was unexpectedly effective at making me laugh. It works as a satire/parody of the "buddy cop" and "teen comedy" genres. I liked that. I also liked the fact it didn't take itself too seriously. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum had great chemistry together and Ice Cube was a nice touch to the cast. Special mention to that (totally random) Johnny Depp cameo. :D

That being said, the first half is way better than the second one and the film ends up becoming predictable near the end. I also thought some jokes felt out of place or were downright silly and unfunny.

6.5/10 - Worth a watch. But you won't remember it for too long.

Sinister - 6.5/10

That was a pretty effective small budget horror film, but it does suffer from some plot weaknesses. I found the Mr. Boogie mythology the film tries to create somewhat silly, especially when it is suggested that he's somehow residing or existing within the projected films. The filmed 'death scenes' however were quite harrowing to watch although found footage horror doesn't scare me, with REC probably being the only exception I can think of. Ethan Hawke does a decent job as the lead, although I think it is made perfectly clear why traditional horror isn't really his genre.

Anna (Noomi Rapace) and her eight year old son are on the run from her abusive ex-husband. As they move in to a new apartment, strange things start to happen. An interesting movie and well acted, both by Rapace and Kristoffer Joner, who plays Helge, a man Anna befriends. I'm not really sure how to describe this movie. It's not a horror movie like some of the promo material makes it out to be, even comparing it to Paranormal Activity. It's more of a psychological thriller. I was unsure how everything was gonna fit together, but I think they tied it up nicely towards the end. There are no definitive answers as to what happened, but you get a solid idea.

7/10



Toy Story 2 (1999)

Not bad, not bad at all. The story and the new characters were good, though I must admit that Jessie got a bit much from time to time. I loved the throwbacks to the first movie and some of the movie references were great, such as the Jurassic Park one. And it was cool surprise that Wayne Knight was one of the voice actors. Looking forward to giving the final part in the trilogy a watch soon.

I really enjoyed this movie. It starts like the standard disney like movie with a boy finding an egg an raising the creature that comes out of it. But it also has a lot of emotional moments also the movie takes a pretty dark twist.

I loved how they kept nessy acting as an animal and using his instincts. When he got
Spoiler
attacked by the military he actually turns on angus who pretty much raised him because his instincts tell him he's dangerous because of the bombing. Also the guy that plays the governor in the walking dead is pretty much an a**hole in this movie till the part he actually sees the monster and wants to help angus letting nessy escape.

Jack Reacher

To be honest, I found it to be a bit mediocre. I liked the character well enough, as well as Cruise's portrayal. But the story itself didn't interest me very much, even though it started out very well with a unsettling sniper scene. Robert Duvall was great though, as well as unexpected.

Also, whoever provided Rosamund Pike with that shirt have my eternal gratitude. :D

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (3D & HFR)

I went to see it with a friend who have been a bit sceptical to the movie, but he loved it as well. I also thought a bit about Thorin's beard while watching the movie. In the prologue, he seem to have a bit longer beard, even though he's quite a bit younger than in the rest of the movie. Anyone else think it might be an honour thing? Like he's keeping his beard short because he think of himself as unworthy? I think it could make sense, given the pride the dwarfs put in their beard and Thorin's feeling that he's not doing enough for his people.

I thought it was very different then what the trailer made it out to be. Hugely original, and very fascinating to watch. I found it more of a poetic sci-fi noir, something I've never seen before. The acting was great, and so was the music score. Only minor complaint I had is that the pace was a little slow and that I had a hard time hearing their speaking as they were very quiet.

It wasn't what it was billed to be.

And I hated it. I thought I was going to get a time travelling, physics shattering, smart action movie. I got that for about half the movie. Then it becomes a love story where the guy falls in love with a hillbilly and her 'Jean Grey' son out of X-Men. The movie hit the brakes so fast I felt my eyeballs coming out of my head. Almost as fast as the guy fell in love and had sex with a random farm lady.

I can't really comment on that, as I've never really thought about it before, but I have some questions:

1) Did you notice that Azog, at the end, said "I remember your father reeked of it...Thorin son of Thrain" when the only individual the movie established as having any interaction with him is Thror, his grandfather?

2) Azog said "Bring me the Dwarf's' head". Have you read any of The Hobbit recently, Shasvre? It's obviously 'Dwarves', which (I believe) is something unique to Tolkien. It's minor to most viewers, but it irked the shit out of me this recent time watching the film.

It's funny you should mention it. I started reading it a while ago and the foreword (it doesn't say who wrote it) in the version illustrated by Alan Lee had this to say.

QuoteIn English the only corect plural of dwarf is dwarfs, and the adjective is dwarfish. In this story dwarves and dwarvish are used*, but only when speaking of the ancient people to whom Thorin Oakenshield and his companions belonged.

*The reason for this use is given in The Lord of the Rings, III, 1144.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - 7.5/10

This was a pretty good MI film, not at least thanks to the supporting cast and some great settings. I'd rank it second after De Palma's film. I particularly like the emphasis on team-work to get the mission done, contrasted with Woo's sequel which was extremely Cruise-centric in comparison and not for the better. I like the action movies Cruise has done just now better than anything he did since Collateral.


Men Who Hate Women/Girl With The Dragon Tatoo - 9/10

A re-watch of the Swedish original. Love it - it gets better and better with age. I still get a kick out off watching Peter Haber in this film and who they cast him as. But this is really Noomi Rapace's triumph. If her performance didn't work, the film would collapse around her.

Same - I hadn't read the book before I watched it although I had the book. I remember sitting there in my seat, suspecting that they wouldn't cast him in that role unless it had some greater significance for the plot, but boy was I shocked to see his acting chops in the basement scene. It almost had the 'Henry Fonda villain performance' in OUATITW effect on me, but I'm a huge Beck fan as you know. :)

I watched the US remake the other day and while that is an entirely satisfactory adaption in it's own right, I just prefer the more raw and less stylized original. It is more performance driven and less aesthetically crafted. It has the better flowing dialogue as well, but I suspect that's a distinction that will only appear for you if you're Scandinavian and/or understand the original spoken language.

Klute (1971)

Directed by: Alan Pakula
Starring: Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland and Roy Scheider

7/10

Overall a very good movie with dazzling cinematography and very eerie soundtrack, it was a bit like neo-noir without being steeped in noir at all - if that makes any sense to you, it was brilliant mixture of engaging intrigue mixed with cold distance and detachment, plus it was extremely atmospheric. A minor classic.

The first movie will always have a special place in my heart, being the only one I watched as a kid and all, but I'll be darned if this wasn't the best of them. There was a scene which almost had me in tears. I think you know which one I'm talking about.

*Love*

Actually, I'm not exactly sure which scene that you're talking about, only because there were two of those for me:

Spoiler
The junkyard scene, and the end with Andy playing with the toys for the final time.

Really glad you loved it, man. Toy Story is one of my favorite movie trilogies ever, and seeing the third for the first time on release day was one of my favorite experiences ever in the movie theater.

Caddyshack (1980)

Ah yes, Caddyshack. Craziness ensues and boobies are shown as a bunch of different (and hilarious) personalities come together to make one of the more memorable comedies from the early 80s.

Here we have Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray. They all get their time to shine with Dangerfield just about stealing each scene he's in. Although my personal favorite is Chevy Chase; who plays a rather cool, calm and ass backwards golfer. I just love the scene when he has the girl over at his house, the comedy is pretty subtle.

And we mustn't forget the infamous pool scene with the Baby Ruth.

Probably the best Michael Bay film.  Sure, it had the potential to be more, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Also there was an interesting scene that made me think of Prometheus, except these clones with minds of children were far more clever than a biologist.

[They spot a snake]
"What is that?"
"I don't know... but it's alive."

The Avengers for the 2nd time.

Watching it the second time made me realize most of the acting is very average to mediocre. They should have given Hemsworth's character (Thor) more scenes with Loki. The action was of course very exciting though, which was and is the main point of the movie.

Hiddleston blew me away as Loki and the scenes between him and Hemsworth were great (especially having seen their falling out in Thor). Renner and Johansson had a lot to do despite not being the major players on the team, were given a very interesting backstory, and had a lot of great scenes together. Evans did great as the man out of time, and his banter with RDJ was great, especially when it all escalated after Tony made the 'sacrifice play' that Rogers sarcastically remarked about earlier. Ruffalo was absolutely amazing as Banner (and I was kind of hesitant about him beforehand because I loved Norton so much) and his scenes with RDJ were, again, great. Even Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg went above and beyond what was required of them and added a lot to the film.

Skyfall - 10/10

Perfection.  I was hooked from the very first shot until the final shot.  I won't get into it too much but it had everything I would expect in a Bond film and more.  Quantum of Solace was disappointing but Casino Royale and Skyfall more than make up for it. 

Spoiler
Javier Bardem is amazing as the disturbed villain and agent gone bad.  I loved the Moneypenny reveal.  The tears were flowing down my face with M's death - it hit me harder than I thought it would as I've only seen her in about 2 other Bond films outside Craig's outings as Bond.  Probably the darkest a Bond film has been with some great humour thrown in to lighten things up a bit.

The Impossible

Now you too can experience the horror of the 2004 Tsunami -- shamelessly, manipulatively, tastelessly viewed through the eyes of a pretty rich white family who suffered no real loss AND got to get flown out on their own private jet because they had insurance! Who cares about all the people who actually died when we can craft ridiculous sequences where every member of the family has near-miss encounters with each other? And, just because the destruction and death isn't horrific enough, we have a melodramatic score to really let us know when things are supposed to be, like, super scary or oh my god super sad!

I do think that Hemsworth (Thor) and Hiddleston (Loki) were the best parts of the film. Thor was and is by far my favorite character in Marvel films right now and those scenes made me even more excited for Thor The Dark World. I did enjoy the back and forth between Captain America and Stark. And yeah I liked how the sacrifice thing worked out too. Ruffalo didn't impress me, but he did his job. Overall I do really like the movie. You kind of made me think about it again, so thanks for that.

Zero Dark Thirty - 9/10

The movies I listed in my Ups and Downs of 2012 post in Vickers thread, should consider themselves lucky that Kathryn Bigelows latest was pushed to a 2013 release date (I just watched a sneak showing). This film would simply have massacred my list with at least Jessica Chastain's performance, Alexandre Desplat's score, the entire cast in mind and perhaps as the best US film as well.

Chastain's CIA operative Maya certainly fits the bill of Carrie's character arc in hit tv-series Homeland. The hunt on the ultimate target - a terrorist leader - has become her hunt. Maya's obsession is Bin Laden himself and the first hour and a half of the film deals with the long haul, collecting breadcrumbs leading to your man however tiny they appear, disappointments. There's also a clear parallel to Robert Graysmith in Zodiac and Will Graham in Manhunter and their unwavering obsessive commitments to put together the puzzle and ultimately 'get their man'. I think Chastain is terrific in the role - it is completely drained for 'acting moments' and just laid bare as a raw nerve.

Her introduction into the dirty side of her trade, paints her her as somewhat uncomfortable with interrogations she's witnessing of suspected terrorists, but she does it to stay in the game. For the same reason she's very direct with her superiors, be they political or agency big wigs. There might be some slight nod towards Bigelow's own position within this genre of the film industry in Maya's portrayl and all the internal bullshit and lack of confidence in her skills she has have to face to get the job done. Kudos for the supporting cast, some of which are high profile names I didn't know were in this film. Mark Strong, Jason Clark, Jennifer Ehle (from Pride & Prejudice) and Mr. Soprano himself. I had a chuckle when I recognized the Miniature Killer from the seventh season of CSI in a tiny single scene role.

The standout - this film's prestige moment, is the last half hour raid on Bin Ladens complex. It completely destroys anything else I've seen in 2012 in the action thriller genre, including Skyfall. The intensity and reality of how those scenes are shot is just second to none. Again, Bigelow is way too smart to include some classic 'hero moments' attempting to give the film some kind of fake emotional impact when Bin Laden is bagged. The film doesn't need that level of patriotic bullshit. Lesser films of the same event made by lesser directors, will undoubtedly deliver on this when they get made. Desplat's score in these scenes are the best score I've heard in a long time in a cinema release. I love Howard Shore's work with LOTR, but what he delivered to the The Hobbit is just too safe for me. Too much in line and to the same beats as he did with LOTR.

Overall, a magnificent film with magnificent performances and a climax to kill for.

Oh, please do. You won't regret it, especially considering how enthusiastic we both were with Homeland. I had some reservations when I first heard about this, simply fearing that it would become some emotional vehicle for a US-based audience to sit and applaud when the big elephant is bagged. Luckily, Kathryn Bigelow made this film and The Hurt Lucker should be a reminder that she doesn't adhere to those impulses, although when looking at that film now, it looks like a preparation exercise for getting this film exactly right.

Highlander

Pure comfort viewing. I reckon this is still the definitive cult movie.

Some kind soul recently uploaded a few unreleased excerpts from Micael Kamen's score to YouTube. Shame about the quality, but apparently it's the best available until there's an official remaster.

Shame (2011)

Michael Fassbender was outstanding in this melancholy story about one man's battle with sex addiction. The sex isn't present as glamorous or fun here. It's presented in such a way that looks repulsive, shameful and disgusting. I feel that was a wise decision, particularly to get the film's point across. Fantastic movie.

Haven't seen that one, but I've been wanting to for awhile.

You should check out Hunger; also with Fassbender, by the same director, with the added bonus of Liam Cunningham. An incredibly moving picture.

Blindness

What would happen to society if human beings became blind?

I can't recall any other movie that has disturbed me quite as much as this one. It paints a terrifying portrait of human nature, and the way that nature is presented is heart wrenching. It it an excellent movie? Yes.

Can I recommend it? I don't know.

Lost Highway (1997)

The only thing I knew about this movie before watching it was that it starred Patricia Arquette and that it was directed by David Lynch. Having seen it, I don't feel much wiser. Yes, it was interesting, but too weird for me to get a real grip on. I'm not sure just what the hell happened.

Not sure at all... :-\

Aside from the terrifying party scene with Robert Blake ("Call me..." BRRRR :'(), it's probably Lynch's weakest film next to Wild at Heart (we won't even count Dune).

Death Proof - 5.5/10

For whatever reason (that probably being warming up the the hyped Django Unchained in a couple of weeks), I watched this one to give it another chance. It didn't change my overall impression though - it is still Tarantinos weakest film to date and the only one of his I don't actually own myself. I think he essentially went overboard with the whole Grindhouse concept and somehow forgot to give the film a life of its own, perhaps best demonstrated with the fake scratches, loss of color etc effects to mimic a really cheap and worn down print. It doesn't look the least bit authentic though, but fake as hell. Style over substance.

Plot wise the film just doesn't get moving until the third act and by then, the protagonist and the antagonist only meet because of pure chance. They don't know each other - they don't have any relationship with each other, which essentially means that the film also misses out on one of Tarantinos trademarks - electrifying dialogue driven scenes between hero and villain. That's probably why I can't remember a single line from the film, which would be a first for a Tarantino flick. Zoe Bell and Kurt Russell are pretty good in their respective parts, but I just think it amounts to very little when the end credits start to roll. A decent entertaining film in places but as a whole, it's just running in neutral on an empty tank.

The next one will be Inglorious Bastards - my friend haven't seen it an I'm thinking it will be a perfect introduction for her to Christophe Waltz. Going by the chatter and hype, it sounds like he's really knocking it out of the park in Django.

That would be INLAND EMPIRE or The Straight Story. Oh well, I'm just glad that Shasvre got around to watching it and if it is any comfort, I didn't really 'get' Lost Highway either the first time I watched it. The best way to get a grasp of it is imo by watching Mulholland Drive, which essentially borrows heavily from LH thematically but in a less confusing matter.

Django Unchained (2012)

Holy shit.

This was simply brilliant. The movie won me over within the first frame, when Django's original theme from the 1966 move started playing. From there is was just this amazing rollercoaster ride as Django and Schultz track down the Brittle Brothers and eventually meet the sinister Calvin J. Candie played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Everyone was amazing in this. There really wasn't one bad performance in the bunch. Everyone from Don Johnson to Samuel L. Jackson all had their opportunity to shine. The violence is outrageously over the top, but that's fine. It's f**king QT after all.

I want to climb the highest mountains in all the land and profess my love for this f**king movie.

You know, I absolutely adore when there's a movie that people can just shut the f**k up about analyzing to a dirty death and just love it openly and be met with other that feel the same way. Django Unchained is that movie-- pure love.
Agreed. Everything about that movie was top notch. The dialogue was clever and wordy, vintage QT. The soundtrack was one good hit after another. The characters were just fantastic. Maybe if I had one gripe, they could have shown more of Broomhilda's side of the story. Oh, and a Quentin Tarantino/ Robert Rodriguez movie wouldn't be complete without a proper Tom Savini cameo.

It didn't disappoint.

Adult supervision is required.

V/H/S


7/10


I saw this movie last night immediately after I got home in the evening. My friend convinced me to see it because in all honesty this movie freaked him out...not sure why, but whatever. The film is basically a collection of short horror stories all recorded on VHS tapes, and I guess you can say they're all linked together somehow because of a sidestory of some dudes collecting tapes for who knows what reason. The connection is never made clear, but that's not what the movie is about. The movie focuses heavily on violence but it takes it's time to get to the crazy parts in each story, at least one of them was huge a twist I didn't see coming, but the rest were just as good anyway.

I applaud this film for not being lame and stupid like Paranormal Activity and all of its rip offs. V/H/S doesn't try and scare you with lame scares and whatever else, it's showing you events that happen to certain people and that's it. No bullshit jump scares or any of that shit. It's an interesting film and I actually enjoyed it.

Gangster Squad (2013)

I just got back from seeing this and pretty much loved it. As a fan of both L.A. Confidential and The Untouchables, this felt like a culmination of the two; the basis being cops going outside of the law to combat the mob. The story takes place in the late forties Los Angeles as Jewish gangster Mickey Cohen has the city under a stranglehold. Police Chief Bill Barker (Nick Nolte) comes to Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) – with a proposition to wage war with Cohen and take back Los Angeles.

From there O'Mara recruits other police officers; he feel won't or can't be bought off from Cohen. And the Gangster Squad is born. This had a nice style to it. The production design did a fantastic job of recreating 40s Los Angeles – which gives off that mysterious allure. Josh Brolin was pretty good as the 'by the book' officer determined to take Cohen down. Gosling, who had a pretty amusing high pitched voice here, was pretty good as well. I really liked Robert Patrick's character, Det. Max Kennard. A gunslinger with hell of a shot. Emma Stone while stunning looking in this really didn't have much to do besides being Cohen's squeeze and Jerry's (Gosling) love interest. Most of the focus was on the squad. Sean Penn was quite memorable. As expected he devoured scenery as the slime ball Cohen.

"I am God. So you might as well swear to me." He tells one of his thugs before shoving him in an elevator and lighting it on fire. The film at its core is an action movie, and the last act didn't disappoint. It features a nicely scripted shootout, complete with a final showdown between Cohen and O'Mara.

Gangster Squad is great. It's not outstanding but it provides plenty of drama, action and style to warrant a viewing.

A masterpiece of film making and vision. simply amazing film. Not for the generic audience, more of a film for people who want to see something different

The Dark Knight Rises

5/10

It was okay I guess. more plot holes than a kid with acne though and really pretentious, too many subplots and dumb badly choreographed fight scenes and Bane had a voice that seemed to combine gollum and Sean Connery

Surprisingly bleak and brutal horror film about an old woman and her daughter-in-law in feudal Japan who murder samurai and sell their armor. Then spooky stuff happens. Brilliant, unforgettable imagery and atmosphere, and one incredibly sinister demon mask.

Onibaba (1964)

Surprisingly bleak and brutal horror film about an old woman and her daughter-in-law in feudal Japan who murder samurai and sell their armor. Then spooky stuff happens. Brilliant, unforgettable imagery and atmosphere, and one incredibly sinister demon mask.

10/10

Didn't we small talk about this one some time last year? But yeah, that mask is soo freaky. Watching this was like watching Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. The melancholia is just completely dominating in every single frame...

Tremors

Always puts me in a good mood

All the talk about childhood movies the other day in the Just Talk thread broke me and made me decide on watching this after ages (around 6 years) of last seeing it. Dem childhood memories are coming right back. 8)

Everything about this is just so good, the characters, the banter between them, the tone, the setting (I'm a sucker for anything involving deserts), and of course the Graboids themselves those sneaky burrowing bastards.

I should watch the rest cause it's been even longer since I've seen those; plus the fact that I've never seen the second.

Should really re-watch Tremors one of these days, but I don't know anyone who has it...

The Innkeepers

Latest horror from Ti West who did House Of The Devil in 2009, which I became quite enamored with. This one isn't quite as good though, although I really like the emphasis on suspense and tension building in his films over gore and cheap scares. Biggest shock however was discovering how much Kelly McGillis have aged since the days of Top Gun and Witness, even considering they've probably artificially added some years to her character with make-up and styling. Nature is cruel.

I'm not really into found footage horror but for those who've seen V/H/S (which has a Ti West segment) - is it worth watching?

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Again I watched the Blu Ray and again it looked absolutely marvellous. I had no idea the Blu Ray was the uncut version so I was extremely chuffed when I realised it was whilst watching. Every single release, wether that be VHS, DVD or on TV has been edited in the UK ever since its release in 1984 so this is the first time Ive seen the full original film. Granted it was just a few small cuts but damn do they make an impression.

Obviously the main cut was the shot of the heart being ripped out. What I wasnt expecting was to see the wound heal back up (wasnt in the edited version). Makes the whole voodoo and magic aspect a hell of alot creepier when you see that and actually seeing his hand go inside the guys chest is quite disturbing. Not surprising it was cut to get a PG rating in the UK. Im not sure but I think him burning alive in the pit was a bit longer with a few more shots of his body in flames as well while he screamed.

I also dont think Indy's line "leave him alone you bastards" was in the edited version either. Its when Shortround is being whipped. Cant remember that line before and ive seen the film countless times. 

Anyway so so happy its the uncut version. Was a nice surprise I wasnt expecting.

There must have been a lot of surprised fellow Brits watching Temple uncensored for the very first time last year.

Meanwhile, the rest of us had imported the uncut French DVD years ago. :P
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: First Blood on Jan 11, 2013, 08:42:05 PM
Temple has always been the darkest of the bunch, thematically speaking. The scene when Indy is bugging out after he drinks the blood has always left me uneasy. A pretty chilling scene, I think. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on Last Crusade.

Which looks stunning on Blu by the way. ;)
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Keg on Jan 11, 2013, 08:54:26 PM
I dont know why but that was the most ive enjoyed Temple Of Doom for years and years. It was always my favourite as a kid. I think its because its the one that feels most like an adventure. When the action really kicks off in the last half hour the theme gets used quite alot and as a kid, there's nothing more exciting than the Raiders march blasting while Indy is swinging around on his whip and punching Thuggees in the face. Crusade rarely used the theme and it only really gets its big fanfare at the end riding into the sunset but I think that was the point, to make the audience go wild.

Plus its got Shortround and who the hell didnt love him. I never really noticed how dark the film was as a kid but looking back as an adult I can see why. Its surprising the first film got the PG rating actually because there's quite alot of bloody violence in it not even counting the melting / exploding heads at the end.

Gonna watch Crusade tonight a bit later on. As I got older this one was my favourite before I realised I'll always love Raiders the most. Easily my favourite trilogy of all time and it just goes to show how consistently great they were when my favourite of the three has changed from time to time. LOTR is also a favourite trilogy of mine but they're not as easy to just throw on and watch like these. Not saying they're supposed to be mind.

And while I love Star Wars, I'm firmly in the Indy camp.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Eva on Jan 11, 2013, 08:58:50 PM
Not surprisingly, Lucas has all but disavowed Temple just like he considers Empire the weakest of the Wars films. Too bad. I think he made some interesting creative choices by sending Indy on his darkest journey yet. Not to mention - who doesn't love that dinner scene with chilled monkey brains and baby snakes? :D

Watching The Last Crusade now. All of them have looked superb on Blu Ray. Far better than I was expecting actually. But there was one shot in particular that blew me away with its clarity and if youve seen the Blu Ray you'll probably agree. Im talking about the stained glass window they look at in the library in Venice. It jumps out at you and the shot looks absolutely stunning.

Kudos to whoever was involved in bringing these films to Blu Ray.

The faces are scrubbed out. Liam Neeson looks horrible in some shots - like that infamous re-issue of Predator on blu-ray. Freaking rubber faces. I don't think the third SW film has this issue. I can't phantom how they could release something like that and call it HD, but then I read up on previous SW dvd releases and how they also f**ked up with the surround channels on previous versions etc etc...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

What the shit, I finally get to see the second film after all these years. I kid. And yes, Sherlock is played by RDJ, and
Doctor Watson is played by Jude Law. Anyway, I really enjoyed this movie. Though I need to rewatch the first one again.

Zero Dark Thirty (2013)

We're only two weeks into the New Year and this is already one of my favorite films of 2013. It was outstanding. It chronicles the manhunt for one of the most infamous terrorists in history; Osama Bin Laden. The opening of the movie is chilling enough, as we hear recordings and voices of the 9/11 victims pleading for their lives. And from there, the movie goes down a really dark path with some rather hard-to-watch torture scenes.

The cast was amazing. Jessica Chastain as Maya was superb, and stunningly beautiful. Space Sweeper and I were talking about her character last night, and he drew parallels between Maya and Carrie Mathison from Homeland. And he's right. Maya expels that same drive and determination, almost an obsession really, to catch Bin Laden. Jason Clarke as Dan was also another stand out performance, the senior interrogator. You get the sense he doesn't necessary like what he does, but he has to do it. 

Spoiler
I also didn't expect to see bit parts from Game of Throne's Stephen Dillane and The Expendables 2's Scott Adkins. That was pretty cool.

The last act of the movie, the tension is impalpable. Something, which last year's Argo did flawlessly. The build up and the initial raid on the compound had me on the edge of my seat. Fantastic.

Fright Night (2011)

I liked it! Maybe not as much as the original '85 classic, but it got the job done. For the most part it follows the same story, Charley a teenager is living next door to a vampire. The vampire here is played by Colin Farrell and he does a pretty good job.

I think the guy who steals the show though, is David Tennant as Peter Vincent. Here he's not portrayed as an old man (Roddy McDowall is still awesome) but as a more hip Chris Angel fraud. It's a lot of fun when Vincent is onscreen, swearing and drinking away his problems. I was also pleasantly surprised that they kept with the original vampire look from the original. I am talking about the elongated jaw when Jerry goes full vamp. It's done by CGI here as opposed to practical make up effects in the original. But Fright Night '11 is heck of a good time!

From Hell It Came (1957)

Hilariously awful piece of shit about a rampaging possessed killer tree stump. Blatantly racist (one of the white characters casually mentions she thinks the natives should "just have a hydrogen bomb dropped on them" -- the natives are all played by uber-WASPs in cheap jungle garb) and casually misogynistic in that uniquely 50s way ("Darn it, could you stop acting like a scientist and start acting like a woman! Let your emotions rule you, not your intellect!").

Prometheus

Despite the films numerous problems with the film's pacing and editing, I can't help but find myself loving Prometheus. While in my head I think I would have preferred it if the Space Jockey in the original movie and the Engineer as depicted in this film were separate entities, the way it played out on screen works just as well. I am very excited and hopeful for a sequel that will expand upon the questions and themes presented in this movie.



Alien

Absolutely perfect and one of my favorite movies of all time. Nothing more needs to be said.



Aliens

While I most definitely prefer the first movie, this one is one of my favorite films as well. Probably one of the most tense movies I have ever seen, Aliens features an excellent cast of characters and serves an extremely exciting continuation of Ripley's story. Some people may complain about the 'bug' treatment that the Aliens supposedly received, but I just can't find myself buying into those complaints. And the queen is just awesome.



Alien³

I am still amazed that such an excellent film came out of this mess of a production; yes, Alien³ has its fair share of problems, but the good far outweighs the bad and all can be forgiven when you take into account the events that transpired when making the movie. It really is a shame that David Fincher disowns this film, because it is an absolutely amazing conclusion to Ripley's story. It is bleak and tragic as can be, but somehow also very rewatchable. And words can not describe how much I love the soundtrack.



Alien Resurrection

The is ultimately the weakest of the bunch, but I still find it to be very enjoyable. The smartest thing to do after Alien³ would have been to either move the story forward with a new character or do a prequel to the original Alien, but I do find myself very intrigued by the whole cloning story as it is presented in this film. The film had some very stupid elements to it (bouncing bullet and breath-triggered lock, I'm looking at you), but ultimately I do quite like it. Sigourney Weaver's excellent portrayal of Ripley 8 and the Newborn are two of the biggest highlights of this movie for me.

They lost me when they killed off Bruce Campbell in the first five minutes. I mean, Robert Patrick is cool and all, but why couldn't they both hunt vampires, call it a day and then shoot the shit at the Titty Twister?

Atonement - 7/10

A pretty bleak drama with a pretty devastating conclusion. I think this was Saoirse Ronans breakthrough film and she's pretty terrific in it. It just might be too downbeat for it's own good in passages but nevertheless, it centers around an everlasting moral question: are some acts of cruelty so resentful that they are beyond forgiveness no matter the devotion to make amends for past sins?

I was supposed to watch A Dangerous Method tonight but as it turned out, the friend who borrowed me the dvd, borrowed me an empty dvd case. :P

Rust & Bone

Two great acts give way to a third that just sort of peters out without any real closure. A shame. Marion Cotillard is fantastic as always, playing an orca trainer who loses her legs in an accident during one of her shows, who then begins a relationship with a hunky streetfighter who may just be the world's worst father.  Disappointing ending aside, this is a powerful, gritty and very sexy look at finding love in the face of disability and economic hardship.

8/10


Zero Dark Thirty
Believe the hype and ignore the bullshit controversy: this is the best American film of 2012. Unbearably suspenseful and a surprisingly bleak portrait of the last decade's morally troubling War on Terror.

10/10

Yes. My God, I had completely forgot about that scene. When she, in a moment of professional enthusiasm, asks the guards to stand down and let the car pass, you just know something will happen. Didn't affect the tension level one bit though. Glad you liked it, Miss C.

It's very, very loosely based on a Canadian author's collection of short stories of the same title. It's just a metaphorical title, doesn't really explicitly refer to events in the film. ;)



Frankenweenie (2012)

Tim Burton's best film since Sweeney Todd is, like Joe Dante's Matinee before it, a family film that is a loving ode to classic horror and B movies of old, riffing to wonderfully entertaining effect on everything from James Whale's original Frankenstein classics to the Gamera series. Better still, it also comes with a refreshingly blunt pro-science/anti-ignorance subtext that most films, aimed at *any* demographic -- much less the kids demo! -- would probably shy away from in the current political and cinematic climate.

8/10

Life is Beautiful (La vita è bella) (1997)...Only the 2nd time I have seen it and it is truly an amazing film. The father and son in the film are actually based off of real people that survived the holocaust and certain events they go through in the movie are true as well. The beginning of the film is a very charming, warming and feel good type and once the plot picks up it gets dark and very sad, but still manages to keep it's charm. I don't want to spoil anything, but I highly recommend it!

Another Year (2010)

Mike Leigh, the greatest living English filmmaker, follows up his 2008 masterpiece Happy Go Lucky with this brilliantly improvised tragicomedy about a happy elderly couple and their friend, a younger middle aged woman whose gratingly cheery facade gives way each and every time to a black hole of loneliness and despair. A brutally frank look at the way many of us will ultimately end up when we reach our autumn years.

Goodfellas - 10/10

I am that vulgar and easily pissed off like Tommy also short.  After the movie I then proceeded to talk like him for 3 hours until I got it out of my system.  If I enjoy a movie character enough and how a character talks and how his quirks add more amusement to him or her I mimic them for a bit.

Then I remembered the Goodfeathers from the Animaniacs, Goodfeathers...Goodfellas turned into pigeons for a kids show... genius!

Gangster Squad

This movie is a lot better than you'd think it'd be, actually. Not amazing or anything, and I had a few minor quarrels with some things (mostly a lack of character development for some of the main characters), but overall I enjoyed it and certainly don't regret going to see it.

ALSO, EMMA STONE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Though her character needed a bit more screentime.

I have a question, and maybe you know.

The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)

The year is 1896. John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) arrives in Africa to build a bridge over the Tsavo River. At the same time, two man-eating lions, the Ghost and the Darkness, starts to prey upon the workers and spread terror throughout the camp. Patterson enlists the help of experienced hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas) to track down and kill the beasts.

It's been a few years since the last time I watched this, but I still enjoyed it. These lions are terrifying. I don't know if they used any real lions while filming this or if it's just practical effects. Either way, it's some excellent work. Just the sound of these things and the way they eat is enough to send chivers down your spine.

The acting, the score and the story is all good. Val Kilmer's Irish accent comes and goes, and there's something about Douglas that make him seem out of place in a movie like this, but I'm willing to ignore that and just enjoy the suspenseful atmosphere.

That was one of my problems with it, actually. I noticed it immediately, and a friend of mine bought it up as soon as we walked out of the theater.

Maybe they had originally filmed something, but it hurt the films pacing. The movie did seem to move pretty fast.

Jurassic Park - 9.5/10

Simply a classic. One of the best cinematic roller-coaster rides from the 90s. I wonder what impact it had on film making back when it opened theatrically - I was too young to remember. The entire cast is in excellent form. The standout performance might just be OmegaZilla as the T-Rex.

Funny thing - I noticed tiny details Spielberg must have put in there deliberately - details I've never really noticed before. When the T-Rex eats the goat, it does the exact same mimick as the rancor in ROTJ just after it eats the 'little piggy', just mirrored. Back at the compound, the wounded Ian Malcolm is leaning in exactly the same pose as Man in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel painting, exposed chest and all.

Damn, nice catch. Malcolm's essentially looking for "God" by trying to figure out the systems underlying the nature of the world (and having just come face to face with his theories), so that symbolism is pretty inspired.

Django Unchained - 7.5/10

That was pretty entertaining, clearly Tarantino had a lot of fun making a dedicated, authentic western this time. Christoph Waltz and Leo DeCaprio are on excellent form, so much so that Jamie Fox gets upstaged in pretty much every scene he shares with them, despite being the title character. That's basically where the films biggest weakness sets in -

Spoiler
when their characters disappear from the film, it just stalls and then drags on for a considerable amount of time, never really regaining the momentum.
[close]

^That development surprised me somewhat, but if Tarantino read his own script and decided this was necessary to bring his main character front and center, it is somewhat understandable from a story point of view. Personally though, I'd preferred he had given Fox more to work with to match up with the formidable King Schultz/Waltz.

Gotta have to mention - the Don Johnson 'cameo' and him and his gang's hood predicament scene, just killed the audience tonight. F-ing brilliant. :laugh:

The slave controversy surrounding this film - personally, I just don't think the subject it touched upon enough in a serious tone (as 'serious' as it gets in your typical Tarantino film/satire) to warrant the controversy. Before anything else, the film I watched tonight was Tarantino having fun.

It's like watching all the cutscenes from one of those terrible 90s FMV games edited into a feature length abomination. Only Jeremy Irons and Bruce Payne make it watchable. Irons suffers a violent orgasm with each OTT line delivery, and Payne stands proud, wearing his blue lipstick of evil, and beats the shit out of Marlan Wayans while trying not to laugh.

Taken 2 (2012)

I swear Liam Neeson's head gets bigger with each movie. Anyways after the first Taken movie was a success, it was only a matter of time before they made a follow-up. This takes place shortly after the events of the first movie, with the Albanian mob burying the dead guys left over from Neeson's first quest.

I didn't think this was terrible. It just doesn't reach the level of excellence, suspense, and tension that the first movie provided so effortlessly. There's a scene in which Mills and his daughter crash through a military check point at the American Embassy. To me it came off as rather ridiculous.

It felt very mediocre in comparison to the first film.

And, no, it's not a rip-off of Battle Royale.

I love Battle Royale and I will admit that the article is a little flawed and biased but it raises some interesting points.

And this pretty much sums up how Battle Royale and The Hunger Games should be seen alongside one another:

QuoteIt might shock you - if you haven't discovered this yourself - when I tell you that there is very little in common with The Hunger Games and Battle Royale.  Their only real similarity between them is they're both about kids killing each other.  That's it.  They're about as similar as Kick Ass and Super, The Prestige and The Illusionist, or A Bugs Life and Antz.

Too bad the Blu-ray transfer isn't very good. Cramming both the 2D and 3D on one disc -- da fuq, Lions Gate?

Yeah, some shots looked great, and others not so much. I don't know though, I think it fits the overall grimy look of the film.

A Scanner Darkly

Film based on a novel by Philip K Dick, I really enjoyed this. bunch of misfits,Substance D,the shifting suits,the sense of panic and existinal questioning. I was in a kind of hypnotic-chill out trance the whole way through. Keanu and RDJ really are great in this film.

I love scenes like -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AewSwHcNvGw#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AewSwHcNvGw#ws)

and even the cameo by Alex Jones was hilarious but fitting. The ending crawl also left me somber and calm in a strange way.

9/10

It's not a bad adaptation, I felt the scrambler suit was a little underwhelming, I can appreciate the art of the rotoscoping, just feel the film could have benefited a different style of shooting / production.

The book is one of my favourite Pkd titles.

Taken 2 (2012)
Spoiler

I swear Liam Neeson's head gets bigger with each movie. Anyways after the first Taken movie was a success, it was only a matter of time before they made a follow-up. This takes place shortly after the events of the first movie, with the Albanian mob burying the dead guys left over from Neeson's first quest.

I didn't think this was terrible. It just doesn't reach the level of excellence, suspense, and tension that the first movie provided so effortlessly. There's a scene in which Mills and his daughter crash through a military check point at the American Embassy. To me it came off as rather ridiculous.

It felt very mediocre in comparison to the first film.

There was however a pretty cool fight between Neeson and a little pudgy Albanian on a ceramic platform in the final minutes of the movie. Pretty neat to see them go at it.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

While I most definitely prefer the first film, this movie is a ton of fun! Cool characters, awesome action, and just a very interesting story (though I do find it a bit far fetched to believe that all that stuff is going on under the streets unnoticed). I'm more of a fan of the cosmic horror of the first than the steampunk fairytale style of this one, but I really like both movies. Really hope Del Toro gets to finish the story with a third film.

Also, if Del Toro ever gets to make his At the Mountains of Madness adaptation, he should give Rupert Evans a role as a bit of an in joke, since they wrote his character out of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army as being re-stationed in Antarctica :P

Didn't think of that, awesome idea. Just as an in-joke.

If you read the description of the Elder Things in ATMOM, there's a VERY similar creature in Golden Army. You see it in one of the rooms of the BPRD.

Red Tails.

Decent film but god damn the soundtrack is so bad it almost ruins the film. I have never heard such an out of place score to a film as this one. How the hell they accepted such a piss poor score is beyond me. Visually its fantastic and the aerial scenes look spectacular. A scene early on where they attack a munitions train is amazing. But the score....oh god its horrible. So out of touch with the tone and style of the film. Shame really.

If anybody has seen the little known Fly Boys with James Franco and enjoyed that, they'll like this although Fly Boys was a much better film. It was a little bit ridiculous at times though (running along the top of a zeppelin as it explodes?)

The Last Stand - 7.5/10

The script and acting, and some humor is pretty cheesy.  Some of the camera work and editing was a bit weird too, but the action scenes were pretty bad ass.  Arnold still looked pretty jacked too.

Spoiler
Aside from the kind of awkward showdown between Ray and Cortez, the fight scenes were top notch.  The scenes that stood out for me were: the scene where the group is getting fired upon and the bus comes in and does a slightly dragged out 180° and out the back door pops out Ray (Arnie) and Knoxville who lay utter waste to the baddies with the "Nazi killer", the tasteful and excellent directing from Woo in the scene where Ray and Cortez stop in the middle of the field and, in complete silence, the cars become characters them selves as they slowly creep forward, trying to find each others location in the tall crop field, and finally, when Cortez is desperately searching for the main road out of the crops, on foot, and finally spots the bridge to cross into Mexico, only to find Ray standing there between him and freedom (epic music cue at that part)  speaking of music, the score wasn't really all that great, but the theme that plays when they're preparing weapons is pretty catchy.  Also, when Ray is pulling Cortez in the back of the Camero with him hopping to keep up, priceless.

The Elephant Man.
Perfection. Absolute perfection. I have never felt for a character this much, and it's weird to me. Sadness, elation, then sadness again, and finally a calm, warm resignation.

I love that movie,it's so good John hurt and anthony hopkins at their finest.

Nightmare,Monsters was an awful movie,never look at jellyfish the same way again.

Rust & Bone (2013)

Well I thought this was pretty outstanding. Marion Cotillard plays Stéphanie, a whale trainer who loses her legs in a horrible accident. She also meets Ali, a guy who has no job and is sort of a dead beat dad. Some of the ways he treats Sam, his son left something me thinking how much I started to hate this guy. Stéphanie & Sam form a relationship which leads to sex every now and again. Whilst Sam starts street fighting for money.

The cast was fantastic, really I thought Cotillard, Matthias Schoenaerts and Armand Verdure all did a fantastic job.

Spoiler
I was absolutely on edge when Sam fell through the ice. Not to mention I was glad to see Ali own up to his mistakes.

The Revenant (2009)

Bart Gregory (David Anders) is shot and killed in Iraq. His body is sent home to the US and he's buried by the grieving family and friends. Two days later, he comes knocking at his best friend Joey's door - back from the dead and with a thirst for blood. When it becomes clear that he's pretty much his old self, only much harder to kill, him and Joey starts dealing out some vigilante justice around the neighbourhood in order to get the blood they need to keep Bart from decomposing entirely.

I loved this. The cast is good, as is the story. It's surprisingly funny, but still keep things pretty dark.

8/10

Excision

When Cabin in the Woods came out, I assumed that that was the peak for the horror-comedy genre. I believed nothing could top it, and nearly a year later I found a film that did just that. Excision is truly groundbreaking, it's exploration of abnormal psychology and the sociopathic personality being unrivaled. The voyage through the protagonist's mind is disturbing, provoking, and intentionally hilarious. Excision might just be the best horror film in decades.

WARNING: DO NOT WATCH IF EASILY DISTURBED OR SICKENED BY BLOODY IMAGERY, NUDITY, ECT. THE FILM IS EXTREMELY GRUESOME.

Lockout: 4 out of 10 -> The offspring of Fortress 2 and Escape From New York. Guy Pierce puts in a great performance, and Maggie Grace is good at being hot, but it generally rides just south of mediocre. No depth to the story whatsoever, but then that's not it's intended purpose.

Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God

I guess Hell couldn't stand the embarrassment of keeping someone killed by Justin Whalin (so frigging lame), so Bruce Payne returns from the grave to wreak a terrible vengeance in this far superior DTV sequel. The effects are understandably ropey, but it scores points for writing, acting, pacing and extra Payne.

Not GREAT, but a godsend compared to the previous effort.

Prometheus (2012)

My third viewing. My opinion of it remain pretty much the same. It's an okay movie, with a lot of missed opportunities. The casting ranges from good to awful, with Fassbender, Theron and Rapace being the good ones. Apart from David, who I thought was handled well, I think both Vickers and Shaw could have benefited from some more character development, or at least some more time spent with the characters. The deleted scenes with Vickers are great and I wish they would have been reinserted into the movie. I also wish Shaw could have provided a better explanation for why she thought the Engineers created us. Vickers' death remains one of the most pointless moments, in my opinion, and I wish that the movie would have ended with Shaw's voice-over instead of the birth of the Deacon.

Lot's of wishing here, but I'm still eager to follow Shaw's journey, if the sequel ever gets made.

The Relic (1997)

"This is so stupid!", whines/screams Penelope Ann Miller late in The Relic, and boy is she not wrong. Hackmeister Peter Hyams gives his usual kiss of death to a story that has some promise, and even decided to be his own Director of Photography this time out, ensuring that not only does he render the script in the flattest, most tone-deaf fashion imaginable, but also sucks all life out of every frame with some of the most unappealing and tepid cinematography I've seen in a Hollywood film. The acting, barring a tart turn from Linda Hunt, is atrocious, the script is a mess (four screenwriters and probably an army of uncredited rewriters), and the score is a by-the-numbers bore. Incredibly disappointing considering how so many people seem to think fondly of it these days.

2011's Conan The Barbarian: 1.5 out of 10 <- I'm seriously amazed at how god awful this film was. My expectations weren't even that high. I was only hoping for it to be mediocre and yet it failed miserably. I'll also reconsider bitching about how dark AVPR is. Incredible the number of action sequences where we're literally left in the dark as to what is going on on-screen.

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

I felt the need to see this again after OmegaZilla's excellent article on it. It gets better with every viewing. The story is fresh and interesting, the acting is good and the creature design is excellent. It's also a lot of fun to pick up on things you haven't noticed before. For example, I didn't know they had Deadites on their creature board.

Spoiler
"We haven't had a glitch since '98."

Anyone know what that is a reference to? At first I was thinking Godzilla, but that doesn't exactly fit the M.O. and we already had an origin for Godzilla in that movie.

I'm also curious about the Ancient Ones. Would have been interesting to know how many there are and if them rising really means the end of the world. I mean, it sounded like they had been up and running before and humanity is still around.

And damn it, I want to know what kind of creature they had in Stockholm! :laugh:

The Paperboy (2012)

There was a certain moment in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy which had me thinking, what I had gotten myself into? Whilst at the same time thinking this was one of the best trashy films I've seen in a while. It follows the story of Ward Jensen (McConaughey) who along with his younger brother Jack (Efron) and Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman) probe a murder investigation and try to prove that John Cusack's character (Van Wetter) is innocent.

This certainly had a lot of over-the –top moments, and ventures just shy of camp, but thankfully it doesn't go too far off the deep end. There's a scene in which Cusack's character creams his pants in front of everyone while Bless pretends to give him a blowjob. And a scene with some hardcore dryer sex.

(Seriously, I am not making this up...)

Or the infamous pee scene, which did of course live up to the hype. It was magnificent. I thought the production design was great. I loved the 60s era look of the film, and those scenes that took place in the Florida swamps were some of my favorite parts.

The cast was another plus as well. Nicole Kidman was fun as this wild, sexually charged character. I never cared much for Zach Efron but he was great too, often walking around in his undies most of the time. John Cusack was pretty f**king good at playing a white trash swamp dweller. Jesus Christ was he ever creepy.

The Paperboy is outrageously trashy and and often times repulsive film, but I couldn't help but enjoy it.

Lockout

An odd kinda throwback to 80s scifi films like Escape from New York, with a little bit of Die Hard mixed in. The best part is easily Guy Pearce, who does great as the cocky action hero who's kind of an asshole. Vincent Regan also does very well as the main antagonist, while everyone else's acting is sufficient. The CGI is good for the most part, save for one sequence where it is easily the worst CGI i'v seen in recent years. The plot is okay, feels a lot like Escape from New York, convict has to save the presidents daughter, yada yada yada.  It's a pretty decent action movie, worth a look if you like either Guy Pearce (I mean who doesn't) or sci-fi action films.

The Host (2006)

I absolutely loved this. Like every beautiful moment of it. The characters were great; I felt for them and became emotionally invested in their story. The creature was fantastic, as was the initial origin and build up to it in the beginning. One of my favorite moments would have to be when the creature first attacks everyone along the river. That was very well done, and amazingly shot. Controlled chaos everywhere and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Another favorite moment would be when Nam-il was throwing Molotov cocktails at the creature. The scene was amazing – visually. The smoke, the music, everything.

I loved it. Loved it! :)

I can absolutely say after watching this, I am looking forward to seeing more of Bong Joon-ho's work on Mother and his upcoming science fiction film, Snowpiercer.

The Evil Dead

Though not as great as I originally expected it to be, this film was still an enjoyable ride. It went from being extremely effective (the tree scene was great, and possessed Linda and her high pitched laugh were absolutely unbearable) to rather self-parodic (possessed Shelly and her death), which is the reason they turned the series into horror comedy I suppose. I'm afraid I cannot praise its effects as the majority of them were pretty dodgy (I swear that when Scotty's corpse decomposes and falls apart there's something like damned polenta coming out of its arm).

There is definitely room for improvement which I hope the remake will take advantage of.

All in all though, as said, it was a pretty enjoyable experience; looking forward to the next two chapters.

Yeah, its definitely a very strange film. Evil Dead 2 is probably my favorite of the trilogy, but I really I just look at them as one large film (although, if you really were to edit them together as one film, you'd have to chop off the beginning and ending of the second one).

Speaking of which, when you eventually watch ED2, Ash is not returning to the cabin. Its simply a condensed version of the first film using only Ash and Linda with a new actress playing Linda, since they weren't able to get the rights to footage from the original when making it.

Vengeance (2009)

A pretty decent slow burn revenge thriller by Johnnie To. After his daughter is crippled and his grandsons murdered, a former assassin (Johnny Hallyday) goes to Hong Kong to look for the people who did it. I liked this. It's not amazing by any means, but I liked the style and the influences it pulled from the Western genre. Hallyday is one fugly looking dude, but his character was mysteriously interesting.

Mother (2009)

This is my second Bong Joon-ho movie of the day, and it's a powerful one. Mother follows the story of Do-joon, a mentally challenged man who stands accused of murdering a girl in a small Korean town. His mother played brilliantly by Kim Hye-ja is out to prove his innocence, and will go to some pretty extreme lengths to do so. The opening credits caught me off guard. It wasn't until a pivotal scene later on, that I appreciated Joon-ho's genius.

Won Bin, who I had previously seen in the solid action thriller, The Man from Nowhere was amazing in this. I couldn't help but feel sympathy for his character. I wanted him to be innocent. Actress, Kim Hye-ja stole the movie. In some ways she reminded me of my own mother. Her character had this drive, this intensity that elevated each scene she was in. The scene when she was in Jin-tae's apartment had me on edge; one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

And then there's the twist as to who actually killed the girl. It was such a powerful scene with devastating consequences. I had my jaw on the floor by that point. That's one of the best parts, who actually killed her. Some may see it coming, others may not. I didn't see it coming and that's why I found it so goddamn brilliant.

Hey Cvalda, Rotten Tomatoes wasn't too far off putting The Host at 93% and Mother at 95%.

I thought this was better.

The Last Stand (2013)

Arnold may be a little older, he may be a little slower, but he's still the uber-macho action hero we all remember. The Last Stand, his latest starring role in ten years is like Raw Deal on steroids. Arnold plays Ray Owens, a beefcake sheriff looking to lead a quiet life in Summerton; a little town in Arizona. But it's not that easy, as Peter Stormare along with his hilarious Southern drawl accent and band of mercenaries are building a bridge from Arizona to Mexico so an escaped drug lord can cross.

This felt pretty mediocre. It feels like a safe by-the-numbers film for Arnold, so he can get back into the swing of things. And it's a strange one too. Combining cornball antics/and cheese along with hard over the top violence. Oh, make no mistake. This is a violent movie. People are blown up, cut in half and run over. The blood flies across the screen magnificently.

As for the cast, Arnold is Arnold. He's not going to win any Oscars anytime soon. Johnny Knoxville is the village idiot, and looks as if his character walked off the set of Walking Tall. Seriously they're almost the exact same characters. The actor who played Cortez, the drug lord was awful. Like seriously awful. Not to mention Luis Guzmán looks about as intimidating as a squirrel. Jaimie Alexander looked incredible, but I felt she was just there for eye candy. Not Arnie's finest hour.

Finding Nemo (2003)

Nemo, a small clownfish, is taken away by divers and Marlin, his father, have to overcome his fears and cross the ocean in order to get his son back. The story was good, but the characters and voice acting was more "okay" than good. It felt like a lot of the characters were very loud. I liked Marlin and Dory however. I thought for sure that Bruce was gonna be the villain. I also think that the story could have moved a little slower in the beginning. The part with Nemo's mother felt a bit rushed. Otherwise, it was a pretty good movie. Not my favorite Pixar movie by any means, but still decent.

Thirst (2009)

Oh, I liked this. A fun little Korean vampire movie that tries to do something a bit different in an all ready over saturated genre. Song Kang-ho plays a priest who participates in an experiment to find a vaccine for a deadly virus known as EV. He dies, or so we think only to come back as a vampire.

The movie isn't scary, but entertaining. I loved the comedic elements, often little subtle things like the priest hanging upside down off a building or diving out a window without a second thought; fun little things like that, helped lighten the mood which often got bloody, very bloody and pretty erotic. I also liked the love story too. What with Song Kang-ho's character trying to keep his urge to kill in check, whilst his love, actress Kim Ok-bin thinks it's more 'fun' to go on a murderous rampage.

I loved the last act between both actors and the car. Hardly any dialogue and it was mostly visual. The part with the trunk was great!

Monsters Inc. (2001)

I loved it. The story and the characters had so much charm and heart. Sulley felt like a mix between Disney's Beast and Hellboy and Boo was such a sweet kid. The voice acting was spot on and the animation was superb. That fur looked so real. This is definitely my favorite Pixar movie next to the Toy Story trilogy. Speaking of which, I noticed a Jessie doll in Boo's bedroom. There were some other cameos and references as well.

Yes! When they go to Johnny Knoxville's place, there's a montage of them selecting their weapons and loading them into trucks. Some pretty good music to boot as well.

The Paperboy in a nutshell, Aspie:

- Zac Efron is conveniently half naked for most of the film, for the director's story's sake.
- This is one of Nicole Kidman's best performances to date. She is the number one reason you should watch the film.
- The film is at its most interesting when it's working as a character study and exploring relationships between all the different characters.
- The film is at its worst when being overly pretentious. There's a dream sequence, a pee sequence, splices of Zac Efron swimming in what is otherwise an intense moment in the film. These kind of unnecessary moments are jarring and take us out of the drama/thriller aspect throwing us off the cliff that is this film... right into Lee Daniels' fantasies.
- The score is hauntingly beautiful.
- The cinematography is fantastic.

Django Unchained

Loved it. You could argue that it peaked early on with Don Johnson, but the level of quality never dipped from that point, and instead stabilized as one long straight line of entertainment. Such is the nature of the Johnson/Awesome Scale. 

Also a great example of how to make a nearly three-hour-long film feel like ninety minutes.

Looper   3/5

Though nothing is wrong with the film per say, I wasn't nearly as blow away with it as other people seem to be. The film starts out strong, but slowly declines after the confrontation between BW and JGL in the diner. Additionally, the romance was somewhat abrupt and unneccesary, and the TK subplot seemed like it was there mainly for the visual gimickry.  That being said, the make-up and effects were certainly well done, and the peice by peice destruction of future Seth was a really great scene. Ranking it in the time-traveling canon, i would place it above Back to the Future 3, but well below La Jetee.

The Evil Dead II

Holy shit what the f**k. :laugh: The series finds a solid direction with this sequel; despite some of the worst film-to-film continuity I've ever seen (the 'sum-up' at the beginning is fairly awful), The Evil Dead II features a far better photography than its predecessor, with good planned shots -- while still mantaining key parts of the original style (the running camera movement). The 'obvious' special effects are now not a restraint, but rather help to achieve the desired, darkly comedic effect. Bruce Campbell finds his way here and really brings his character to life as well. The severed hand is quite priceless and the laughing deer head trophy nothing short of memorable.

As a side note, I really didn't expect seeing Freddy Krueger's glove in the toolshed!

Looking forward to The Army of Darkness, not tomorrow (International Holocaust Remembrance Day, you bet) but hopefully Monday or somesuch. :)

Something old...
A Single Man - 10/10

Something new...
Zero Dark Thirty - 9/10

Something borrowed...
Total Recall - 5/10

Something blue...
Prometheus - 6.5/10

Technically I didn't watch the whole of Prometheus today but I have seen it more than once before. Those visuals are a feast for the eyes. Such a shame the script is so embarrassingly weak in comparison.

Zero Dark Thirty

Really, it couldn't have been done better. Both as accurate account of historical events and as a character study. It's played straight and somber from start to finish and doesn't romanticize anything-- Bigelow provides such uncompromising direction that truly deserves the acclaim. The worth of this movie's existence could be debated between different socio-political views and ideologies, but Bigelow makes it respectably and undeniably important.

On the topic of deserved acclaim is Jessica Chastain's performance... I could sense by how little the marketing for this movie played on the critical buzz around it that her work would truly guide the audience through the movie, masterfully taking us along with her emotional ups and downs... mostly downs; the movie ends on such a note in a quiet scene of contemplative solace.

Yeah.



PS- I f**king hate people that sleep in theaters. Consider your physical state, look at the film's length and subject matter, and gauge whether or not you're bound to fall asleep during it IN the theater instead of on your couch or in your bed. Don't make me have to kick a snoring motherf**ker's seat. f**k.

The Living Daylights (1987)

Boy, it's been a long time since I watched this. I didn't remember a single thing from this movie, except the cello. It was enjoyable though. As for Dalton's Bond, I prefer the story in Licence to Kill, but this movie definitely had the better look and production values. It was good to see some familiar faces, such as Jeroen Krabbé (who I had only seen in The Punisher previous to this) and John Rhys-Davies. Other faces were totally unfamiliar to me, such as this movie's Moneypenny. Can't remember if she's been in any of the other movies.

Spoiler
What was up with Bond's plan at the end? Stealing a plane you just left a bomb on doesn't seem like a very smart move. It was only by pure luck that Kara caught up with him as well, otherwise he would have been leaving her behind as well. Once the Afghan's attacked the camp, he could have left the plane and let the bomb do its job. It's not like anyone would have had the chance to find it, with all the fighting going on. :-\

Cvalda lol nope,

Unless the film is in some way gynocentric, it's not a good film or that's what I gather from the opinions I've been reading. ;D
Or, ya know, it could just be terrible, over-stylized film that trades in cheap symbolism (he feels like he's drowning, get it?!), wish fulfillment (every hot guy is going to hit on a bespectacled professor in the 60s on today of all days!) and Julianne Moore with a terrible English accent.

Shutter Island

Really enjoyed this re-watch. It may be my favorite Scorsese film of the last 15 years along with The Departed. Dealing with mental illness and incorporating it into a thriller framework is a tough thing to do. Great performances all around.

The Living Daylights (1987)

Spoiler
What was up with Bond's plan at the end? Stealing a plane you just left a bomb on doesn't seem like a very smart move. It was only by pure luck that Kara caught up with him as well, otherwise he would have been leaving her behind as well. Once the Afghan's attacked the camp, he could have left the plane and let the bomb do its job. It's not like anyone would have had the chance to find it, with all the fighting going on. :-\

It's my favorite over License To Kill as well - Firsty won't agree with us on this one though. It also has a small role from an actress who was in Mad Max: The Road Warrior ;)

Spoiler
It wasn't Bond's plan to hijack the plane. He planned to plant the bomb in the cargo bay and let it fly off. He was on his way out of the plane when he was spotted by Jeroen Krabbe.

I'm a Cyborg but That's Okay (2006)

Park Chan-wook does romantic comedy his way (meaning style out the ass and bloody gun massacres), but with a surprising amount of sweetness. Incredibly clever and inventive, and while he gets some laughs at the expense of the mental patients in his film, he never condescends to them.

8/10

I thought Shas preferred License to Kill? :D Anyways yeah, I liked LTK over Daylights. It was nice to see a Bond movie grounded for once. Even though it felt like a Miami Vice episode, the locations were great, and seeing Bond being motivated by revenge as opposed to 'just another mission' felt totally fresh for me.

I just think he rationalized that there were enough fighters to take on the Russians, he was out of ammo and surrounded by baddies, so using the plane as an escape vehicle was the best idea in that moment.

DR does send stuff in HD, but they don't label it as 'HD' when they do.

Collateral (2004)

An overall excellent thriller, with good performances from Cruise, Foxx and Ruffalo, as well as a simply beautiful look for the movie itself. I loved those shots we got from above the city.

Huh, I didn't even notice that was him playing Felix. Speaking of cameos, I had completely forgotten about Statham's very brief role in this, as well as Richard T. Jones playing one of the cops.

Silent Trigger (1996)

I would consider myself a pretty big Lundgren fan. This was one of those films of his that eluded me. Directed by Highlander's Russell Mulcahy, I had high hopes for this. Sadly that was not the case and it was pretty f**king bad.

Dolph plays a sniper who wants to get one more job done before retiring from the business. He also can't pull the trigger anymore. It's becoming increasingly difficult, yet he'll gun down a room full of commandos in the films climax without hesitation. His spotter, played by Gina Bellman was just horrible. This girl could not act. I will however give credit to Christopher Heyerdah for playing a sleazy character so damn well. He seemed like the kind of guy that would make your skin crawl. Also credit goes to that fugly looking skyscraper. Hell that thing had more personality than most of the characters in this.

Vera Drake (2004)

Mike Leigh's story of a kindly old back alley abortionist and her family is unfortunately his most obvious and heavy handed film. Imelda Staunton does brilliant work as always, but is never able to fully overcome the impossible saintliness of her character (she doesn't even charge money for the abortions she performs, she just does it out of the kindness of her heart!), and Sally Hawkins gets an entire sidestory that contributes nothing except neatly illustrating the class differences of 1950s England.

6/10

Or, ya know, it could just be terrible, over-stylized film that trades in cheap symbolism (he feels like he's drowning, get it?!), wish fulfillment (every hot guy is going to hit on a bespectacled professor in the 60s on today of all days!) and Julianne Moore with a terrible English accent.

Over-stylized? Tom Ford's attention to detail is impeccable. It looked perfect. I'm not sure what you mean by over-stylized... For where it was set and for the kind of characters portrayed, the locations, fashion choices and decor were just fine.

Cheap symbolism? Some directors just try too hard and he was conveying something in a simple way. It gives off a claustrophobic vibe and it conveys, quite effectively, that the character is suffering even though on the surface everything looks "fine."

Julianne Moore's accent was fine. It didn't distract me from the film nor did it feel like an American trying too hard to sound English. It sounded like she was English with traces of another accent, which worked perfectly. They do live in Los Angeles after all and I've heard how easy it is to pick up an accent when living there.

Everyone was fantastic. Colin Firth gives one of his best performances in the film. The film doesn't bash you over the head with any messages. It's a simple narrative with layered characters focused on a character who never did move on after suffering a great loss. It's heart-breaking but uplifting at the same time. So, sue me for thinking it was perfect.

Prince of Darkness (1987)

Ah John Carpenter. His style, his music and his characters are like no others. There's a reason why he's one of my favorite directors. And when he does horror, he does it right. What with Halloween, The Thing and The Fog being his best examples. Hell, let's throw in They Live too.

This was my first time watching POD and it was f**king terrifying. I thought this is one of his most interesting to date in the horror genre; exploring such themes as good vs. evil, faith and Heaven & Hell. The movie had this eerie ambiance about it. Each time those musical cues kick in, it set me on edge. I think this is one of those instances where you don't need jump scares, gore or monsters (although this does have some of that) to make it an effective horror film.

And oh boy, that final shot. It's better than Inception's spinning top.

Watch the second one ;)

Like I told OZ, the second one begins with a ten minute or so recap of the first film (but only with Ash and Linda, not the other three characters), but it is all entirely new footage because they didn't have the rights to use clips from the original movie. But once that ten minutes or so is up, the second one begins literally right where the first one ended.

Damn...too bad it's not on Netflix. I remember watching Army of Darkness on TV, but I've never seen the original Evil Dead or the sequel.

How come they didn't have the rights to the first film? Was Raimi not involved?

Raimi and Campbell did all three films (heck, they're even producing the remake!), but they were distributed by different companies. He legally couldn't incorporate footage from the first into the second.

Read about it and yes, I'll try to hunt it down for sure.

Regarding continuity, ehh, I have also thought about recutting the movies myself once I get a grip of a good file for each of them.

Thing is, continuity has always been something I really care about. It really irks me when they change actors for example - with certain exceptions i.e. Richard Harris, may he rest in peace - or when they balls-out put different locations for places that are supposed to be the same (Isla Sorna between the second and third film), etc.

Ultimately in most of the cases it does not affect my enjoyment, or is only a minor to considerable complaint depending on the case.

Highlander II: Renegade Version (1991)

Having never seen this movie before and only reading about its awfulness through hushed whispers, it was time to see for myself. Now I haven't seen the actual theatrical cut so I don't know what the Renegade Version added or took out. This review is only based on this version that I watched.

After his epically clunky sword battle with the Kurgan, we find...MacLeod living in 2024. The ozone layer is all but destroyed and a giant shield barrier protects Earth. This movie was a mess, in all departments really. I mean even to the point where you can see the strings attached to one of the immortal's flying batwing jetpack. Michael Ironside has this constant grin on his face. He's probably thinking about the massive paycheck he collected from this. The scene when he massacres a train at 600mph is outrageously stupid. Ramírez is back...along with his head. I don't know how and they never bother to explain. Never have I wanted a movie to end so quickly. This is the epitome of god awful cinema. Nice way to all but destroy the Highlander mythos in one fell swoop as well.

Rick, I don't know about your area, but where I live Target sells Evil Dead 2 for about $10 on Blu Ray. Maybe you'd have luck there?

With my luck, I won't be allowed to from my parents for I would be what they call "wasting money".

You're still a teenager, aren't you? Teenagers are supposed to waste money, dammit :D

Mama 7/10

This was pretty effective. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jessica Chastain being the main attractions, the film also gets the eerie atmosphere exactly right. I've never heard of director Andrés Muschietti, but when his 'protegee' for this film is none other than Del Toro, that usually guarantees a pretty well written story. Visuals are top-notch - it's a dark film. Chastain does some really good work, evolving from the one-dimensional goth bass chick to a mother-surrogate for the girls at the center of the storyline.

So what doesn't quite work for me? Most CGI effects of how they've realized mama look exactly like that - CGI effects. The render, how she moves, her watery quality when she floats through the air... it's pretty mediocre from where I'm sitting. So, my favorite scares are the ones where she barely seen or only hinted at and luckily, there's plenty of those up until the last 15 minutes or so. I didn't see that ending coming and I'm not sure about how well it fits with the story I just watched, but it's basically a minor complaint for a movie that mostly did exactly what I wanted - scared me. :)

Never mind the continuity bumps. They were never planned to have sequels anyway - just enjoy them as individually movies with the same hero. AoD definitely has quality laughs all over it and some wise consumer advice as a bonus. :)

True - AoD is played for laughs big time - ED II not so much. I can't remember much of what differentiates I and II - I don't have the first one myself. I do remember one iconic shot that wasn't in II though - that bench slamming into the cabin when they first arrive, making that thumping sound. Always thought that was wonderfully shot and pleasantly foreboding. :)

Evil Dead II does become self aware and adds a lot of intentional dark humor (absent in the first -- where the "funny" mostly came unintentionally), the whole sequence about the hand is a bright example of that. Then of course the Deer. f**king madness, I love it.

Pumpkinhead

Needed to watch this film again after so much time.

This is how you make a supernatural horror film.

I'll mention the 'eh' stuff: there is a pair of dodgy shots which could be fixed with a simple change in aspect ratio (you can see Woodruff's real shoes). Pumpkinhead is apparently the Thing's distant-whatever cousin; and that I don't really mind. A pair of scenes -- that I totally didn't remember -- it could have done without, too.

For the rest, however, Pumpkinhead remains an excellent, old fashioned horror with a terrifyingly dense atmosphere. It would be a disservice to label it as just another slasher in the woods; it is a story about vengeance.

Really a shame Stan didn't direct more films; there's just this and A Gnome Named Gnorm (which I don't remember much of).

Not to mention the film that should not be.

I know you'll disagree but I reckon the only good STD sequels of a theatrical film are the Tremors ones.

Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11 - You Are (Not) Alone

Oh my god. It's beautiful. This is the perfect way to revise the series, and it does it in a manner that respects what has already been done and looks to change it in genuinely interesting ways. Whether it all converges once again to end on the same dark note or manages to turn it around, I'm on board completely. Oh, and that animation... good lord.



Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22 - You Can (Not) Advance

...

One of the best animated features I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible from start to finish. So many parts just left me slack jawed, whether it be the music, the visuals, the acting, or the on-screen drama in general, it's just something grand to behold. I'm still reeling from the end, and left hopelessly craving more. The Rebuild series has officially blown my mind.


PS...

Spoiler
I'm now thoroughly convinced that the Rebuild series is a sequel to Neon Genesis. I haven't checked any theories or anything out there, but I've noticed so many visual references to Neon Genesis already happening (the red streak on the moon, the crimson sea, the cross figure imprint during the opening scene of 1.11, Asuka's new eyepatch like her bandage at the end of EoE... Kaworu's promise to show Shinji true happiness. There definitely appears to be a resetting of time... Goddamn this is interesting.

Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11 - You Are (Not) Alone

Oh my god. It's beautiful. This is the perfect way to revise the series, and it does it in a manner that respects what has already been done and looks to change it in genuinely interesting ways. Whether it all converges once again to end on the same dark note or manages to turn it around, I'm on board completely. Oh, and that animation... good lord.



Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22 - You Can (Not) Advance

...

One of the best animated features I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible from start to finish. So many parts just left me slack jawed, whether it be the music, the visuals, the acting, or the on-screen drama in general, it's just something grand to behold. I'm still reeling from the end, and left hopelessly craving more. The Rebuild series has officially blown my mind.

Evangelion 3.0: Holy f**kballs I Love This Series But You Got To Stop Making Me Feel Like Killing Myself

Just finished it with English subs...

Spoiler
Also this is the last time I'll watch it until it's released on Blu-Ray. Being a cam rip somethings aren't clear so it'll feel new when I watch it again in a few months time.
[close]

I-I feel dead inside. Like I seriously feel like shit right now. This was more soul crushing than End of Evangelion...just...f**k...

I don't think I'll even be able to watch 4.0...this was just...no...but for completions sake I probably will. :'(

This has officially crushed the original NGE when it comes to depression. We're in grim dark territory people, if you plan to watch, prepare your tissues.

Evangelion 3.0: Your Feels Will (Not) Be Ready

The worst part is that the movie has no cheerful everyday life middle section like 2.0, it's just a constant tone of dread and despair for 95 minutes, with like a 2 minute hope spot. Even the battles feel depressing.

Blue Thunder

In essence, this is your standard Lone Wolf Cop flick, but the aerial twist gives it a definite edge over the competition. As always, Roy Scheider is a reliable (read as: loveable) lead, Malcolm McDowell gives England a bad name, a few 80s action movie cliches are ticked off, and the climax features some well crafted helicopter dogfight action.

Great fun overall.

Also, I wasn't expecting too much from the Blu-ray transfer, but it looks and sounds well above average for an early 80s catalogue release.  Sony get a pat on the back.

I always wanted to do a comedy sketch making fun of the figureheads of atheism, and some random others too.

Neil DeMike Tyson --> "Ith time to thienth. If you don't thienth I'm gonna stomp yo children's testicles"
Christopher Mittens --> Who now wears fleecy pink mittens after accidentally hitchslapping a porcupine.
Dick Dawkins --> Who has now gone crazy and become more owl like, reciting ominous poems like "Dick Dawk, Dick Dawk, time is running out for God. Dick Dawk, Dick Dawk, the Pope's a stupid sod"
Gnome Chomsky
Bill Rye --> A baker very passionate about the issue.
Stephen Caulking --> Stephen Hawking with a wheelchair armed with deadly caulking guns to fire at those pesky Christians.
Sigmundo Freud --> The Mexican stereotype counterpart to the famous psychoanalyst.  "OO-oh, you want to f**k your muth-er!"

Events include the regular "Religious Extremist Pinata", where each panelist gets a cross and smacks the hell out of a religious extremist.

Swamp Thing (1980)

Well this is it. This is how you make a movie so bad, it's good. Filmed on a shoestring budget it features Adrienne Barbeau along with her vivacious breasts in a swamp battling horrible acting, unconvincing special effects and shoddy editing. And hey, let's thrown in dwarf henchmen and mutant bores while we're at it. Swamp Thing doesn't try to be something its not. Director Wes Craven keeps his movie firmly planted in cheeseville.

I have no shame enjoying this.

Goon (2012)

Holy shit, that was f**king awesome. Fantastic movie with a lot of hilarity, brutality, and heart. I'm not a huge hockey fan, but this movie just worked for me on so many levels as well as increase my appreciation for the sport (yes, the actual one, not just the fight club-eske sub-sport). The cast is great too, with Seann William Scott, Jay Baruchel, Liev Schreiber, and the relatively unknown but outstanding Marc-André Grondin all completely owning their roles-- every character is greatly realized.

I don't need to only recommend this to hockey fans, but anybody who wants a funny, fun, and oddly effective touching movie. I absolutely loved it.

Saw Avalon again yesterday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C8s1ANMK6k# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C8s1ANMK6k#)

Simple. Nearly Perfect. Hipnotic and gorgeous. Really hits your heartstrings. Only have 2 problems with the film...
Spoiler
The whole mistery behind murphy's "disappearance" should have been squeezed a bit more throughout the film to tantalize the viewer and delve deeper into Ash's character and life. As it stands, it's a movie that feels more cold and distant than it needs to be. (And it does need to be.. but i cant shake the feeling that they went overboard in that department. :laugh:
[close]

And the CGI is a bit dodgy at times, specially in the chopters.

1. Funny how the characters roles in the Avalon game reflected their real life personalities. Stunner was very "mousy". Ash was very "spartan" and steely.
2. Dat Ending. Manly tears.

f**king unsung masterpiece. And the CGI is pretty damned good for a film with an 11 million budget shot in 1999 in Poland! Plus it takes place in a video game, so, yeah :P

Evil Dead 2- Much like the first movie, it had the same formulated plot; but improved on the effects and writing. I loved the dark humor as well as the practical effects. All in all it's a groovy, very enjoyable haunted house thrill. And that ending, damn....I really need to watch Army of Darkness again.

The Road Warrior was the one that really worked for me. Max is most interesting when he's a grey figure, morally speaking. That's not to say that I wouldn't give the others a re-watch when I get the chance one day, but I'd agree that the third act of Thunderdome has issues - as far as I recall anyway.

The Blob (1988)

It doesn't matter whether Paul McCrane plays a criminal or a cop.
Spoiler
He'll get gruesomely killed anyway.
[close]

I honestly expected more from this film -- a lot more, truth to be told -- but that does not mean I did not enjoy it.
In a nutshell, I think The Blob is one of those films which would benefit from another visit to the editing room. Its levels of violence are pretty extreme and that's not necessarily bad, but at times these scenes feel unnecessary (the half-consumed child) or outright ridiculous (the car scene; just, the car scene). The film gets better as time goes, with 12 opening minutes where basically nothing happens and then suddenly Blob meteor falling space container. f**k yes. The special effects here are nothing short of spectacular -- where the original made a pretty clever use of backwards filming and took advantage of everything it could based on its limitations, the 80s Blob is a pulsating, outright disgusting gooey mass, which goes from full-scale puppets to very clever miniature models (of course with the usual sparse dodgy shots -- obvious green screen and all).

Another plus side, Shawnee Smith is hot although her acting is nothing special, and Kevin Dillon has a spectacular mullet.

Original with Steve McQueen remains my favourite though.

The Blob (1988)

He'll get gruesomely killed anyway.
[close]

I honestly expected more from this film -- a lot more, truth to be told -- but that does not mean I did not enjoy it.
In a nutshell, I think The Blob is one of those films which would benefit from another visit to the editing room. Its levels of violence are pretty extreme and that's not necessarily bad, but at times these scenes feel unnecessary (the half-consumed child) or outright ridiculous (the car scene; just, the car scene). The film gets better as time goes, with 12 opening minutes where basically nothing happens and then suddenly Blob meteor falling space container. f**k yes. The special effects here are nothing short of spectacular -- where the original made a pretty clever use of backwards filming and took advantage of everything it could based on its limitations, the 80s Blob is a pulsating, outright disgusting gooey mass, which goes from full-scale puppets to very clever miniature models (of course with the usual sparse dodgy shots -- obvious green screen and all).

Another plus side, Shawnee Smith is hot although her acting is nothing special, and Kevin Dillon has a spectacular mullet.

Original with Steve McQueen remains my favourite though.

Fun fact: I actually got to hold those rifles with the bayonet (under the supervision of a reenactor in the same red uniform) the summer of 2012 at our local Canadian military heritage museum doing a big show. I also held sabres, a navy cutlass, and a Sten submachine gun for the record. It was a neat experience.

Anyway, I believe you can actually watch the full movie on youtube, a little over 2 hours.

I ended up liking every single character in this film.. wich only made it tougher to watch as the inevitable tragedy descends upon them... :P Loved it. Not perfect.. but the trailer makes it look a lot more melodramatic than it actually is. Very moody with some great directing. The acting fits within the style of the period, overly theatrical at times, but that's alright, because the story is pretty damn cool.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2D9o9q8kDY# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2D9o9q8kDY#)

The sequel, with the same characters and by the same writer is also hailed as being very good.. despite changing genres and not being a "monster" movie at all... :) that one's next on my to watch list. The trailer spoils the first movie completely, though. :laugh:

From Beyond

Good to Great creature FX (with some really bizarre designs) for what is otherwise, fundamentally, a really missed chance of a film. Acting is good (with a beautifully insane performance from Ted Sorel, and a surprise at the end by Barbara Crampton who's otherwise not so special) but the film is filled with unnecessary and let's say "too dragged out" scenes. Example: we know Katherine is being 'changed' by the Resonator. Ok, we get it. There's no need for implied third party fapping and jizz licking. The film could've focused more on the Lovecraftian themes instead of dragging scenes like that -- which surpasses the thin red line that separates 'disturbing' from 'self-parodic'. In a nutshell, much more in this case than the film I watched yesterday -- The Blob -- From Beyond would definitely benefit from some cuts.

As a side note Barbara Crampton is pretty hot.

Gonna re-read the story later on -- don't remember it being that great but neither did it deserve to have some of said stuff added in.

Silver Linings Playbook

Bradley Cooper is the unsung hero of the film with a surprising performance.
Jennifer Lawrence is great but her performance is definitely not the strongest female performance of the year.
Robert De Niro is Robert De Niro.
Jacki Weaver gives a subtle and genuine performance.
I almost didn't recognise Julia Stiles.
Bi-polar disorder and depression are so sugar coated that it will be hard for many who are experiencing that to relate to any of the characters.
At the most, it's a solid rom-com with a hint of drama.

Swamp Thing (1980)

Well this is it. This is how you make a movie so bad, it's good. Filmed on a shoestring budget it features Adrienne Barbeau along with her vivacious breasts in a swamp battling horrible acting, unconvincing special effects and shoddy editing. And hey, let's thrown in dwarf henchmen and mutant bores while we're at it. Swamp Thing doesn't try to be something its not. Director Wes Craven keeps his movie firmly planted in cheeseville.

I have no shame enjoying this.

Lincoln - 6/10

I was slightly disappointed with Spielberg's Abe biopic. Perhaps I went in with the wrong expectations concerning what the film would be about for most of its running time. No doubt it has some very good performances (Day-Lewis will harvest awards, no doubt), but the script is very slow in places. Imo Amistad had some of the same issues that Lincoln has with story, pacing etc.

I can't quite figure out why Lincoln in this film, speaks with such a heavy Irish accent in places. It almost took me out of the film a couple of times, thinking I was watching In The Name Of The Father or something for a couple of seconds... Nevermind though - details, details...

Reservoir Dogs

Tarantino's debut film is one of his best, in no small part due to the strong acting of everyone in the cast, lots of props to the actor that played Mr. Orange for conveying with excruciating excellence that getting shot in the guy hurts like a son of a gun. The plot, revolving around a heist but never showing it, is a pretty original and smart idea. Also the writing was great, having to piece together what happened through dialogue was a cool thing to do. 

10/10

The Thing

John Carpenter is a master of horror, crafting a excellent movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The body horror effects were absolutely disgusting (in a good way), probably the ickiest I'v ever seen in a film. The never being able to guess who the creature was, coupled with a few red herrings, managed to keep the tension high throughout most of the film. I thought the final confrontation was a little anti climactic, and lacked the tension that the rest of the film had though. I commend the score for being subtle yet effective, I would expect no less from Morricone of course. 

8/10

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Not much to say about this one, it's on of THE best teen comedies ever. Matthew Broderick oozes charm and whit, with the rest of the cast playing their parts excellently. It is so choice, if you have the means, I'd highly recommend picking it up.

8/10

The really good ones can essentially stand on their own, even if you diminish or simply remove the character the film is supposed to be 'about'. There's a good film there somewhere even when it's not about that person. Lawrence Of Arabia, Gandhi, Downfall, The Social Network and others... :)

Thomas Jane has a curse. His curse is that no matter what film he's in, he is an undeniably cool character. Stander is an example of that. Jane plays Andre Stander, a police captain in South Africa. Who on a whim robs a bank, which leads to a compulsion and his infamous Stander gang is formed. I loved this. Jane was fantastic as this character. He's a bit of an enigma. We're not sure as to why one day out of the blue he decides to rob a bank, it just happens. David O'Hara & Dexter Fletcher were also very good in this as the other half of the Stander gang. Much like The Bank Job this is a fun heist movie with a retro 70s era quality to it. If you're a fan of Thomas Jane, heist movies, period pieces or all of the above, I recommend this. :)

The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 & 2

This has got to be one of my favorite animated movies I have ever seen. I loved pretty much everything about it. Peter Weller did a great job as Bruce/Batman, and I really liked the angle of him, along with all the other characters of Gotham, being older. And, the music, my gosh it was fantastic. I hope I can find the full soundtrack somewhere on Youtube. And the last battle, holy hell, best climax to any Batman movie, ever.

I did not want these movies to end. I'm going to be adding them to the Blu-Ray collection, as soon as possible.

Bachelorette

This was just a frustrating watch. At times I felt like it was a gem of a movie covered in filth.

Becky, who was really unpopular at school, is getting married and she asks her three friends, who were polar opposites in school, to be her bridesmaids. One could argue that in school Becky craved any kind of friendship, even if it was the abusive kind. But why she chose to hold on to these "friends" of hers for so long after school is beyond me.

So you can probably see where this is headed right? The girls are repulsed that 'pig face' is getting married before they are. So who are these lovely bridesmaids? Well they're all cokeheads - one is slutty, one is just naive and unintelligent and the other is in a great career and has a competitive streak but I never did figure out why she's so miserable aside from the fact Becky got proposed to first.

Kirsten Dunst plays her role perfectly. Even though she's just generally miserable, it seems that there's a sincere caring person underneath that wants to change her ways and how she treats people. That is more down to her performance than the script though. But that being said, basically all the characters are unlikeable. Even the bride becomes unlikeable when you start questioning why she has friends like these and when she throws diva-like tantrums as she's preparing for her wedding.

At times it feels like it's a darker, more uncomfortable version of Bridesmaids. But yet it's nowhere near the quality of Bridesmaids.

5/10

Stander (2003)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Stander_ver2.jpg

Thomas Jane has a curse. His curse is that no matter what film he's in, he is an undeniably cool character. Stander is an example of that. Jane plays Andre Stander, a police captain in South Africa. Who on a whim robs a bank, which leads to a compulsion and his infamous Stander gang is formed. I loved this. Jane was fantastic as this character. He's a bit of an enigma. We're not sure as to why one day out of the blue he decides to rob a bank, it just happens. David O'Hara & Dexter Fletcher were also very good in this as the other half of the Stander gang. Much like The Bank Job this is a fun heist movie with a retro 70s era quality to it. If you're a fan of Thomas Jane, heist movies, period pieces or all of the above, I recommend this. :)

Also, how about that ending? Kaworu coming out of a tomb on the moon... with a crimson streak across it? And the sea on Earth being red as well? I don't wanna go EvaHorhey on this, but I've got a theory that the Rebuild saga is somehow following End of Evangelion on some kind of, well, rebuilt chronology.

The Master

This was quite interesting, while simultaneously being somewhat frustrating. In this one, Paul Thomas Anderson sort of follows up on the sly assault on organized religion he presented in There Will Be Blood. Joaquin Phoenix does some pretty terrific work as Freddie, a haunted war veteran, seeking answers within Philip Seymour Hoffman's pseudo-religion 'The Cause' under Lancaster Dodd/The Masters (Hoffman) personal supervision. Amy Adams also shines as Dodd's calculating wife - there's no doubt she doesn't like Dodd's fascination with Freddie one bit. In her eyes, he's the wrench in the machinery that threatens to derail Dood's attention from their growing and profitable project.

There's still a lot of stuff I haven't quite figured out yet in The Master - or there isn't and the film essentially works at face value. That's the frustrating part to me. There could be a lot of additional sub-text in the film on religion and false prophets and especially the very manipulative methods religious leaders use to add new members to their flocks (again, there's a direct line from Eli in Blood to Dodd in this - only, Dodd is a much better 'salesman'). I guess it comes down to the viewer how much you take with you in that regard from the experience. However, the acting didn't frustrate me - the leads deliver great performances and I'm a bit surprised how this film isn't more celebrated on those merits.

One thing that seemed really odd to me - Freddie has a moment with the love of his life before he joins The Cause - a girl in her teens. How old is Freddie supposed to be exactly? He looks like he's in his 40s in that scene - it's just very odd to imagine Phoenix and the girl as a couple with that age difference, especially since the film is taking place just after WWII.

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995)

Much to my surprise and excitement this was on Netflix. So I decided to give it a watch, and it's exactly how I remembered it. A blast from start to finish. William Sadler (in full badass mode) is held up in a shady hotel with a group of rather unscrupulous characters. They are trying to stop Billy Zane and his denizen of demons from getting the seventh key which will plunge the world into darkness.

The movie is a lot of fun. There's a nice balance between action/horror and slapstick comedy; most of it coming from Zane's character. You can tell Zane is having a ball too. Chewing scenery and prancing around in each scene. I had also forgotten Thomas Haden Church and Jada Pinkett Smith were in this.

The gore is exceptionally delicious as well. What with Zane punching his fist through a guy's head and then effortlessly ripping his head off in the process...

A brilliantly beautiful film. Couldn't take my eyes off of it like I have with most films that I watch on my laptop. Great from start to finish, it just looked incredibly good with Dafoe and Gainsbourg being amazing in it. It's just an all around wonderful film. The nightmarish things that happen in this are basically works of art from what I saw, each time you saw something horrifying, it just felt like you NEEDED to see it happen. I really enjoyed this film, so uh...watch it if you're not that squeamish and such. Also watch it if you're not as crazy as me.

For whatever reason, my brother started talking about an old action film he had been looking for, some days ago. I've never seen it but thought it would be nice if I could track down the title for him, so does anyone recognize this description:

A group of Americans war veterans (Vietnam I believe) - we follow them in a couple of flashbacks where they were POWs. While on route to somewhere, they assault their guards and escape, but one of the vets trip a mine and is wounded. In present day, the same vets are being killed off one by one by someone who is revealed to be one of their own - possibly the guy who stepped on a landmine. He thinks it's a B-action movie from the 80s with no big names attacked, but can't remember any names or titles. Some details might be off, but that's how he remembered it.

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Hmmm... from checking it out, I don't think so. But stylistically, I think it's similar to that one. Very B-movie'ish.

He described the scene where they escape, as the group walking in a marsh or something in a column. They are beaten by their guards as they walk. One of the POWs, a big muscled guy with blonde hair, might break the stick affixing his arms/hands to his back and perhaps uses the stick to kill a guard. But that's the only scene my brother described to the best of his memory. He didn't count on me knowing the film anyway, so we didn't really go into it.

Flight (2012)

A really excellent drama about Captain Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington), who after miraculously saving an airplane full of people, are trying to come to terms with his alcoholism. Great peformances, especially from Washington. You really want to see him succeed and overcome his problems. The ending was just perfect.

Because man, i've read/watched clips of what happens in that movie, and it is disturbing. Also, add on to the fact that this looks more legit than your average horror movie/torture porn flick.

And it has a lot to do with dismemberment of some guys dick...I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Gotta man up and watch it. All the violence that Cvalda was saying would give me nightmares was basically all the reason I needed to see it. I always love it when things get blown out of proportion in a film (it all started with Hostel for me) about how it will make you go nuts because of it or something. Never actually works because it's all tame really. So go in and enjoy the film damn it!

I mean, it's cool that they got UFC champ Don Frye in this, and it did have some good spirit, but overall, I just couldn't enjoy this circus full of assy monster fights and unbelieveably shitty acting and scripting (even for a Godzilla movie) It also almost NEVER ENDED.  You call this a proper ending to Godzilla's legacy?

And don't even get me started on that stupid "Zilla" to "Godzilla" comparison.

No longer held back by the child friendliness and ridiculousness (even for the genre) of the Showa movies this Gamera is a totally different beast for an older audience, with revamped and more aggressive looking Kaiju designs, a darker tone (expected), and some gore to boot.

Gamera 2: Advent of Legion

So the sequel goes and takes what made the first great and ramps it up. The special effects (again for the type of movie it is) look phenomenal with Legion being one of the craziest kaiju designs I have ever seen. The little bit of CG put into it, actually looks pretty decent albeit distracting, the rest makes up for it, and oh gawd dem explosions. DEM 'SPLOSIONS!!!

Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris

...

I'll write a review some other time...

Edit:

Alright, now that I have composed myself let me just say it right now...

This is original Godzilla good. No I'm not f**king with you, in my opinion this movie is Godzilla good. The action, the characters, the special effects, the story it all culminates into a huge ass monster brawl spectacle that has to be seen to be believed. The effects in this have easily beaten out anything done in the Heisei Godzilla movies, and hell I could go and say that they're better than the Millennium movies, and at times on par with summer blockbusters of the time.

Gamera is redesigned once again and looks absolutely fearsome with a sleeker design, less cutesy cartoonish eyes and a darker color. Iris is officially one of my favorite Kaiju designs evoking the type of monster I've always wanted to see done in a movie. It doesn't have as much action as the previous two but you won't even feel it because when it has no action the interesting cast of characters are fun to follow and root for, and what about when there is action you say? Just watch it. This is one that needs to be seen to really get just how great it is. The first two were really good, but this one is definitely one of my favorite movies ever, after just the first viewing.

The Matrix Trilogy

One of my favorite trilogys. First film is a masterpiece,stands on its own and defines the genre. Reloaded was a great sequel,fantastic action sets and characters,altho the zion parts tend to weigh it down alittle. Revolutions is a good film,story gets alittle more messy but pulls through in the end with the spectacular final fight between Neo and Smith.

Overall. 9/10

Reloaded's a strange film, it spends forever showing fairly minor plot points, then either rushes through or doesn't even show some of the more critical points. Also the CG characters in the latter part of the Burly Brawl are disgracefully obvious. Still, it's an extraordinarily ambitious action film, and the Merovingian is hilarious.

Revolutions on the other hand is one of my very favourite films of all time. One of the most epic, jaw-dropping and edge-of-seat-balancing battle sequences I've ever seen, lots of huge emotional punch, and a smart ending that felt right to me if, apparently, nobody else...
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Feb 10, 2013, 02:05:47 PM
I've seen the first film a few times and love it. Reloaded, however, didn't really do much for me at all. Revolutions was a huge step up from the second (and 'dat final battle) but it was still no where close to as good as the first one.

To me, it was like I'd just enjoyed a very good meal, was perfectly satisfied; all of the flavours having mixed and melded into a perfect combination on my tongue. Then I vomited a little bit in my mouth and tasted it.

All those great flavours from before... ruined by the memory of the sour acid that had started to break them down.

I understand it's supposed to serve as 70s/80s nostalgia porn, but I just don't care enough for the 70s and 80s to give a damn. And really, that's the only thing that it did right.

Most of which sucked. And besides, I didn't want to see a movie that just alluded to other movies, I wanted something fresh and new. Even the monster looked like E.T., just tagged with a little Bruce Banner radiation.

This was a damned good movie. A great example of how a film keeps you interested the entire way through, even if the most spectacular scene happens in the first 15 minutes. Perfectly paced, greatly edited, and full of fantastic performances. Denzel gave it is all, Bruce Greenwood and Don Cheadle showed up with a pair of excellent supporting roles, and Kelly Reilly was very sympathetic. However, I would like to draw special attention to John Goodman, namely because I had no idea he was in this movie. He just showed up, did his thing, was awesome for three scenes, and went away again. Absolutely wonderful; he provided some great comedic relief for this drama.

Skyfall (2012)

This was arguably one of my favorite films of 2012. It's up there with The Grey and Dredd. Director Sam Mendes never wastes a shot in what turns out to be the best looking Bond film in quite some time. Daniel Craig has really hit his stride here as the super spy. The pacing is wonderful and expertly done. It makes a two and a half hours feel like ninety minutes. My favorite moments are the credits featuring Adele. The scenes in Shanghai. Silva's intro which is one long continuous shot complete with a monologue. The assault on Skyfall estate, and last but not least the little twist regarding Eve.

A welcomed and very solid entry into the Bond canon.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)

This is certainly going to split Unisol fans down the middle. It's such a departure from the previous films. John (Scott Adkins) wakes up from a coma, after Luc Deveraux murdered his family. From there, it's John's story as he tries to find the man responsible. He also learns Deveraux is in control of an underground Unisol army.

This is Scott Adkins movie. Both Van Damme and Lundgren are little more than background scenery. I am also going to assume they've replicated another Andrew Scott (since they didn't bother explaining why he's back) – it's funny. You'd think they would stop replicating this guy, since he's a loose cannon. It's interesting to see Deveraux in the role of the film's villain. He shows up every now and again, two scenes in particular are these really f**ked up strobe light sequences.

The action is bloody and brutal; taking full advantage of the R rated cut. It's not a bad movie per se. It doesn't quite match the level of excellence that both Universal Soldier and Regeneration carry. Day of Reckoning is a intriguing experiment for the franchise though.

Definitely. Van Damme is very creepy in this. The war paint he has on at the end of the movie makes him look very ghoulish. In fact, Van Damme without hair at all is an unsettling sight.

Got it on bluray yesterday for cheap,after seeing it in the cinemas and again on bluray its a visually amazing film to watch. Entertaining and enjoyable and definately didnt get the attention it deserved. True shame it flew under the radar.

Lynn Collins...hnnnnngggg. She would make a good Wonder Woman too imo.

Ah, now I understand the whole 'ceramic platform fight' thing. That was an odd moment.

BUT despite the lowest of low expectations, this entertained me. I came to see Liam Neeson crush the tracheas of bald Eastern Europeans, and I was richly rewarded. Sure, I'm not a fan of the excessive editing tricks during action scenes, that part with the grenades was goofy, the excessive teal and orange colour grading was horrible - okay yeah, it's all terminally average... but I can dig it.

http://jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/World_War_II (http://jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/World_War_II)

QuoteIn 1941, James Bond lied about his age in order to enter the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve during World War II, from which he emerged with the rank of Commander before joining MI6.
Ian Fleming admitted to being inspired by true or partially-true events that took place during his career at the Naval Intelligence Division of the Admiralty.

Most notably, and the basis for Casino Royale, was a trip to Lisbon that Fleming and the Director of Naval Intelligence, Admiral Godfrey, took during World War II en route to the United States. While there they went to the Estoril Casino in Estoril, which, due to the neutral status of Portugal had a number of spies of warring regimes present. Fleming claimed that while there he was cleaned out by a "chief German agent" at a table playing Chemin de Fer, however, Admiral Godfrey tells a different story, that Fleming only played Portuguese businessmen and that afterwards he had fantasised about them being German agents and the excitement of cleaning them out.

Pretty much. As much as I appreciate some of the older Bond films for what they are, I really only find the Daniel Craig films engaging and worthy of repeat viewings (even if Quantum of Solace is a disappointing entry). I may be in the minority with that and perhaps not a "true Bond fan" for not watching all the older films but I have seen at least one of each of the different incarnations of Bond and I find Craig's Bond to be the most interesting.

McClane travels to Russia to fetch his estranged son, who's gotten himself into some deep trouble. Fifth entry in the Die Hard series delivers all the goods that you'd expect from an over-the-top, gun-toting, slam-bang action film. Bruce Willis' still got it!  8) Final showdown in Chernobyl is a knock-out.  ;)

Spoiler
Komarov's demise pays a little tribute to that of Gruber's, but of course, with a little twist  ;)

Rating: 4/5.

Excellent performance from Denzel Washington as the washed up body guard who have to look after a little girl, played by Dakota Fanning. Some of the scenes didn't really work for me. I'm talking about the ones that featured all that weird lightning and loud music. It was just unpleasant and noisy. Also, I knew I recognized that reporter from somewhere. Rachel Ticotin. Still smoking hot. 8)

Gangster Squad

Just got back from this. This movie knows what it wants to do and sticks to just delivering fast-paced (and stylish) fun, never taking itself too seriously. The cast chemistry was great and you can tell everyone was having fun with their roles. I wish some action scenes were longer and more dynamic though. I wanted some characters to get a bit more screentime too. Overall, it felt like The Expendables set in L.A. in the 40s. ;D

7.5/10

Pretty much the same, although the first 4 Bond films (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball) have the same replay value to me. The best streak in the franchise so far and some would count Lazenby's film as well.

Lock Up (1989)

This was a fun and some what depressing thriller from Stallone at the tail end of the 80s. He plays Frank, a model prisoner who gets transferred against his will to an infamous prison called Gateway, run by mastermoon Donald Sutherland. The reason I said it was depressing is because of the amount of abuse Frank takes. He's beating, demoralized and humiliated at every turn by the prisoners, the guards and mastermoon Donald Sutherland. Not all is bad though. The film wouldn't be complete without a homoerotic montage with Frank and the other prisoners bonding over a Mustang that they built. Only to have it destroyed by Billy from Predator. Tom Sizemore was also pretty good as Frank's twitchy friend Dallas.

At least Van Damme had the balls to fight back in Death Warrant.

Honest to say, I don't think there's ever been a BAD Bond actor for me. And even though I highly regard Connery as the best, I still respect every other actor, even when it comes to Lazenby and Dalton. Anyone who believes that those two actors were miscast as Bond, I think you're judging them a little unfairly.

Edit: I just pray that all the six Bond actors will attend the Oscars this year. There's a big tribute going out for Bond. To see them all together, now THAT would be the sh*t.  8)

Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls

7/10
I just don't understand the hatred for this movie. Sure, it's not a classic like Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it is far more entertaining than Indy: Last Crusade, and MILES better than Indy: Temple of Doom. The only reason to watch an Indy Jones movie is just for the pure enterainment value, which is why Crystal Skulls is the second best in the franchise


A Good Day to Die Hard: 1/10
I watched this today. This is not a Die Hard film. This isnt even a Bruce Willis film. This isn't anything.

Whoever is a fan of this franchise, I would suggest avoiding this movie. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, works in the movie. The first 20 minutes is neat, and there's far more action than any other installment, but, seriously, John McClane isn't even John McClane in the movie. Like... I still don't understand what happened. And the father-son relationship deal... not even close to being effective. A Good Day to Die Hard makes With a Vengeance seem like the original Die Hard. It makes The Cold Light of Day seem like The Expendables 2. It's that bad.

Not enough to put it above TLC, however. TLC is, in my opinion, the most enjoyable of the bunch. Loved the way Ford and Connery played off of each other. I'd say that KotCS and TOD are about on par, both being very fun Indiana Jones films.

That was a very interesting film. What'd you think of it?

It was different alright,Don't know what to think of it really,I guess it's open to interpretation.

I thought it was charming and exciting as well. It was a good Indiana Jones film, just not the best Indiana Jones film. :)

Shia better than Connery, though, that's where I'm gonna have to draw the line >:(

Connery was good, but Shia damn near stole the show in KotCS. I was expecting a Best Supporting actor nomination (not win) for him.

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)

This is the worst the franchise has to offer. It's like the Resident Evil: Afterlife of the franchise. The film delivers on entertainment but utterly fails in the character department.

But I liked it.

McClane finds himself traveling to Russia to bail his son out of prison. That is until mercenaries disrupt things, and McClane gets stuck in the middle. I really felt Willis was sleep walking through this one. He's here, but he doesn't put much effort into it. Another major downside are the villains. They're so uninspired and bland. It's a shame really. The one major action sequence that stuck out in mind was the highway chase. I think that's where the movie encompassed the essence of Die Hard. It had McClane pulling off vehicular mayhem and hijinks not seen since Die Hard with a Vengeance. So that sequence was a lot of fun. The movie is crap but it's fun crap. Hence why I liked it, and not bitching about how it destroyed the franchise.

Strangely enough it looked much better in the movie. If there was a scene to rival McClane's jet surfing that would be it.

He actually drives the truck out of the back of the helicopter to try and bring it down. Crazy motherf**ker. :laugh:

Batman & Robin

I've watched it with a friend of mine (just to watch Schwarzenegger's worst role again) and holy f**king shit we just kept cracking jokes at it, endless f**king laughs, my lungs barely got alive out of it.

I don't even know what the flying f**k was going on when they approved the script. Or when they thought putting nipples on suits was anywhere near a good idea. Whatever. Of course the film fails when trying to reach its aim. The pacing is frequently off too, with many useless scenes (and why does the camera keep filming Batman's butt...?). Physics all over the place.
Some parts of it I do like though. Specific scenes do work and make you wonder how the film would have been under a different direction.

Schwarzenegger is f**king epic cheesyness.

Most important thing though, Uma Thurman is so f**king ardently hot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPUTKnLsl38#noexternalembed-ws) here. Like damn.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)

Well, this was certainly a bit different than the other Universal Soldier movies. I won't reveal anything about the plot, because those of you who have seen it already know about it and the rest I don't want to spoil. But the basic premise is that a man named John (Scott Adkins) looses his wife and daughter and believes Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to be responsible for their murder.

Very brutal, that's the first thing I will say. The action was excellent. Seeing Andrei Arlovski in action was like watching a modern day Leonidas go to war. His fight with Adkins was great, especially when Adkins kicked it up a notch and really started dealing out pain. John's final assault on the UniSol's was great as well.

A couple of questions to those who have seen it...

Spoiler
Do you think Luc was really behind the murder of his wife and daughter, or was it all implanted memories? For me, it's the latter. Also, was that the real Luc or just a clone? They never really reveal it, but seeing how many other clones there were and the fact that he was killed, it would be disappointing if it was really Luc.

I hope a sequel is made, because I'm looking forward to it.

1. Wall Street 2
2. Lawless
3. Disturbia
4. Constatine
5. Indy 4

And it doesn't even matter if ANY of his movies were good or not, he always owns the role he's in. Connery gives a decent to great performance 1 out of every 10 movies he's in. (And a great performance hasn't come in a few decades).

Post by: BANE on Feb 16, 2013, 10:22:53 PM
He always owns the role? He's always shit. His best performance isn't even on par with a Connery phone in. The last really good Connery movies came in the early 90's, as his career of almost 50 years (36+ at that point) was winding down. And those movies were "The Russia House", "The Hunt For Red October", and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", the latter two of which are more critically lauded than anything Laboeuf's ever done.

A great acting performance can salvage a shit script, or elevate a great one. Which Connery has done numerous times. Shia hasn't done either. He's been in ok films, but has added nothing to them, nor has he ever elevated a shit movie to anything.

He always owns the role? He's always shit. His best performance isn't even on par with a Connery phone in. The last really good Connery movies came in the early 90's, as his career of almost 50 years (36+ at that point) was winding down. And those movies were "The Russia House", "The Hunt For Red October", and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", the latter two of which are more critically lauded than anything Laboeuf's ever done.

"The Russia House" and "Hunt"(snore-fest) were terrible. I will give him his Indy movie, but only because it's an Indy movie.

And according to IMdB, he's been in atleast 16 movies since "The Russia House". He hasn't been slowing down his work, he's just not operating at a Nicholas Cage throttle.

And, his last notable performance was in the original Highlander

LOL, there's no such thing as "retired" from acting. And besides, he made an animated movie last year, but that's not the point. Contextually, I was referring to a timeline of his movies, not recent events.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)

Very brutal, that's the first thing I will say. The action was excellent. Seeing Andrei Arlovski in action was like watching a modern day Leonidas go to war. His fight with Adkins was great, especially when Adkins kicked it up a notch and really started dealing out pain. John's final assault on the UniSol's was great as well.

Sounds good! Cool that they've brought Arlovski back.



The Avengers (Assemble?)

Maybe I wasn't in the right mindset, but I thought this was really tacky. The actors all had great chemistry, but I just wish they could have been in something a little... smaller.

I'm officially super heroed out.

Same here. Liked the jokes, liked Ruffalo and his scenes with RDJ, liked Scarlett being in extremely tight clothes... that's about it. Most of the inter-hero fights came off as fanboy masturbation, Hulk inexplicably (?) becomes controllable for the final act, without vulnerability Thor is just odious, most of the action sequences were overlong cut-happy CGI-fests with very little sense of jeopardy, the enemy force weren't built up as credible opponents.

Mediocre film in my opinion, I'd have walked out if it hadn't provided the laughs. Between Avengers, First Class, Wolverine, Iron Man 2 and Spiderman 3, I'm pretty much done with superheroes too. Just curious about Man Of Steel, and any future Batmans, due to past precedent.

In all seriousness though, I f**king love this movie. It's one of my favorite movies ever and I could go on about what I love for hours on end. People can say all they want: He doesn't resemble Godzilla, he's killed by missiles, he lays eggs, he runs away.

Could care f**k all what them peeps say. While I can see the flaws now that I'm older the movie has been such a big part of my life (Godzilla's design has always stuck with me and sneaked into a lot of monsters I draw, especially his big ol' chin.) that I can't help but love it.

Really liked the chemistry between Superman and Batman. Hopefully they act like this in the upcoming Justice League movie, or perhaps a few films after that.

Justice League: Crisis on two Earth's

Not bad. Really cool seeing the opposites of Superman, and Batman, and Green Lantern. Though, I thought the whole "Crime Syndicate" and Superman's evil half being Italian, and the leader of the Syndicate, being a little... weak. Owlman, voiced by James Woods, was great.

My favourite order would be:

The Empire Strikes Back (The BIG reveal)
Attack of the Clones (two flashbacks that expand on that reveal and show Anakin's voyage).
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi

Intertwines both stories in a better way... Watching the films in the standard "order" just spoils the plot twist for newcomers. :P Lucas effed it up in that regard.

A Good Day To Die Hard - 4.5/10

With all the bad reviews leading up to this moment, I kept my expectations firmly in check with this one. My disappointment with the last one in the series, Live Free Or Die Hard, might also have helped. I'm a huge devotee of John McTiernan's original from 88, so much so that I believe it is still the best action film ever made to this day. Yep, better than his own Predator and Camerons Terminators and Aliens. Die Hard was the film that took a rather simple B-movie concept and made it A-movie material in every category - direction, performances, cinematography (it is still the best looking action film ever shot), sound, music and especially editing. It is just perfect.

In that sense, I'll keep this review short and to the point, because the 5th film in the franchise has very little in common with the original. Take out Bruce Willis and the McClane characters and you basically got a big budget B-action movie that Dolph, Sly, Statham or whoever could have been starring in. There are decent action scenes and some excitement in the best moments, but the plot is very standard 'baddies want a nuke - good guys save the day' fare, the acting and direction pretty lackluster and completely devoid of any 'director trademarks'. Point is - I just feel disconnected with it all and I can barely recognize this version of McClane anymore. If they are going to make a 6th one, they'd better return to the original formula and remember who John McClane was in that one. The only good thing I can say is that I liked it marginally better than the 4th film, but that basically because the villains and their idiotic plot in that one reached new lows.

With that, I'm fishing out my Die Hard blu-ray from my collection, soon to be enjoyed yet again.

Just saw this. It worked for me. Good acting from everyone, but Day-Lewis and Lee Jones totally steal the show. Fantastic performances. Pretty much great everything else. Though the script had some small pacing issues and the film could've used a shorter runtime.

Decided to skip the prequels and am now watching... Return of the Jedi

I had no idea Chewbacca did the Tarzan scream! :laugh:

It's a return to the fun and weirdness of the first movie, while still keeping some of the darkness of the second.... all the plot points resolve adequately and there are tons of memorable moments here....

A fitting end to the original trilogy.... didnt mind the Ewoks as much this time around. furry little bastards.

Robin Hood (2010)

Better than I expected. Both Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett worked well in their roles. Impressive battles. The one at the end almost felt like watching the Allies storming the beach in Saving Private Ryan. Heck, the arrows coming down on those shields even sounded like machine guns. My only problem with the movie was that it didn't feel like a Robin Hood movie. I wouldn't mind a sequel, given the way this ended, however.

Universal Soldier

Ah yes. The landmark 1992 case of Belgian Muscle vs. Swedish Meatball.

Much has been made of how it's a "T2 clone" with a script "written by 12-year-olds", and those accusations MAY WELL be true... but this is still superior action that benefits from slick production values, moves at a good pace, boasts well choreographed fights, throws in loads of blood 'n' gore, incorporates a female sidekick who isn't dead weight, and features one of the best hero-villain relationships this genre has to offer.

Playing an emotionally vacant undead soldier probably wasn't the most taxing role for Van Damme, but his understated performance actually works since it's acting as the foil to Lundgren's constant scenery chewing ('IT'S EMPTAAAY!!!'). Put together, and they're a blast (same applies to their final confrontation).

I only wish we could have got some more old school action out of Roland Emmerich (Stargate and The Patriot were a nice bonus) before he sold his soul to the Crappy Family Blockbuster Gods. The guy clearly knew how to make this stuff.

Completely agree with you on all points. The movie is a high point for both actors. The action sequences were wonderfully scripted; the scene with the UniSol truck and bus being a favorite. And it's always nice to see Ed O'Ross who was the go-to scumbag throughout most of the 80s and 90s.

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

I loved this so much. It's was the first time I've watched it, and I couldn't take my eyes off this movie. The film is visually stunning and beautiful. It paints a future I wouldn't necessarily want to live in but was very engaging to witness. The characters were fantastic; both Motoko and Batou being the most interesting. Their relationship with one another is one that's not easily defined. My favorite scene among quite a few is the one with Motoko on a ferry going down the river whilst the films score is playing. It cuts to various shots in and around the city. Just beautiful.

DragonSlayer

It had been many years since I last watched this film, and did so this evening in preparation for my article on Vermithrax (which I am soon going to begin writing).

The film drips with mood, and this is probably its strongest quality alongside the wonderful Tippett effects. The Dragon itself is a marvel of 80s effects, with of course its fair share of dodgy shots, of course countered by really spectacular scenes.
As per other films I have seen lately, this would of course benefit from another visit at the editing room, either to shorten or to erase certain scenes which were too dragged on or unnecessary. This is not to say it's a bad film of course, it's great -- but with some edits it would be an even better experience.

Overall I really liked it and was glad to revisit this film after so many years. Definitely one of the better 'rediscoveries' from my childhood.

Just saw this. I'm happy to say Zemeckis still knows how to handle live-action filmmaking. Washington is great and he deserves the Oscar nomination, not sure about the win. I was entertained the whole way through, despite the pacing slowing down towards the end. And dat Goodman. 8)

I find Its a little deeper than bladerunner at times epecially in the question of identity and what makes one human, and is probably a more accurate description of whats coming for all of us, scarily prescient considering when it was envisioned mid to late 80's, might not want to live in the world it portrays but get used to it.

Flight - 7.5/10

Watched this at a sneak premiere last night. I'm so happy to see Zemeckis return to live action storytelling and I'm pretty ecstatic with the story he chose to do it with. What closed the deal for me is Denzel Washington's performance in this film, the best he's done for years and that's saying something when you consider his filmography. I really like that he's attempting to finder darker and more authentic sides of a character than usually (Denzel is usually brilliant, but I'd have to admit that he's also been somewhat typecast in recent years, not least in his collaborations with Tony Scott RIP).

Essentially, Flight is a film about a very damaged man, from whatever the circumstances may be, who rises to exceptionally challenging events in his professional career, but somehow is a failure as a human being and he fully embraces this. I'm not entirely sold on British Kelly Reilly's turn as a drug addict, but that's easily forgivable when Denzel turns in a performance of this caliber.

PS: Needless to say and if Cast Away was any indication, the crash scene is absolutely nerve-wracking. I'm not flying anywhere anytime soon...

Kon-Tiki (2012)

In 1947, Norweigan explorer Thor Heyerdahl and five other men set out on a raft to cross the Pacific Ocean. Putting their trust in nature, their goal was to travel from South America to the Polynesian islands, following the same route that Heyerdahl was convinced that South American's had traveled 1500 years ago.

This movie was phenomenal. I mean, just great. The story is fantastic and well told, and of course, based on a true story. The cast is very good. The only name I recognized was Gustaf Skarsgård, who played the Swedish member of the expidition, Bengt Danielsson. But they all delivered outstanding performances.

Added to that was a beautiful cinematography and score. This movie was simply beautiful.

Check it out, people. :)

A Good Day to Die Hard--- As shitty of a Die Hard movie it is, I tried so hard to enjoy it, but couldn't. Part of it had to do with the f**king shaky camera and the extreme close-up zooming in/out shots during that car chase and the fact that the entire movie had no point to it at all. Aside from little plot development and over the top action scene one after another that would have Michael Bay jealous, this fifth Die Hard movie bombed.

Of course, the only good thing about this was Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

In Time (on SpaceMarines' stream)

Olivia Wilde dies after being in two scenes. The following video portrays the arc of my opinion for the film, Olivia Wilde being offed at 0:40:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-myMEB40Hg#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-myMEB40Hg#ws)

But really, it wasn't all awful. I'm guiltily for finding the time puns enjoyable in a cheesy way, and Cillian Murphy had an interesting character who I actually ended up rooting for more than the supposed protagonists. The concept was interesting on the surface, but the delivery of it along with the script was so heavy-handed, blatant, and constantly distracting to the point where it felt like parody. Something tells me that if the movie took itself less seriously, like RoboCop, it could have been much better in doing what it was going for.

Either way, the chat and the stream was tons of fun. Shout out to SpaceMarines for hosting, EEV2650, KNIGHT, and Crazy Rich for joining. We must do more of these.

Pretty much. The first film will always be the best because it has heart and a story to tell. The performances were fantastic; one of Sly's best moments is the monologue at the end. When the sequels come, the series almost becomes a jingoistic parody nestled comfortably in the action genre. But they're still fun. Almost like the Die Hard franchise, each one becomes bigger and more outrageous.

Yeah... agree with all of that. I also strongly recall the dropdead gorgeous shots of the vast forests where he's hiding, the quiet, dialogue-free moments just observing him in the caves etc. It is a really good film. It deserves to be mentioned along with The Deer Hunter and other classics dealing with the same themes.

Universal Soldier: The Return Reach Around

This is the closest I've ever come to screaming BETRAYAL. 

So Luc Deveraux is 'human' now. Okay, I can roll with that, but why the personality bypass? How come he's a goofy military lackey who overcomes the tragic (off-screen) loss of Ally Walker by gawping at exposed cleavage and (apparently) frequenting the local strip club? All while the not-at-all-sinister super computer is left to babysit his (adopted?) daughter? Really? You could tell me this was Chad Wagner's wacky Double Impact spin-off, and I'd probably believe you!

But it doesn't end there. NONE of the talent that made Universal Soldier work is to be found here. It's sloppily directed with the type of story and dialogue that somehow makes the original's screenplay look practically Hitchcockian, violence is notably watered down, buttrock plays during action sequences, the whole production resembles a Sci-Fi Original, the talents of Michael Jai White are wasted and Bill Goldberg is no Dolph Lun- oh dear god Bill Goldberg's in this... Christ, is that Justin Lazard as well? Go back to Species II!

... This thing killed the 90s, didn't it?

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)

Bruce Willis returns in this overall disappointing fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise. Backing him up is Jai Courtney as John McClane Jr., also known as Jack. The setting is Russia. The plot is simple; do what you do best - kill bad guys. It took a while before Willis and Courtney found their chemistry, but after that it was pretty fun to watch them shoot, stab and blow up everyone and everything close to them. Still, the plot wasn't much to cheer for and the villain wasn't very interesting. It was a fun way to spend an hour and a half, but it's not a movie I'm going to watch over and over again.

Strange Days

I f**king loved this. I've always found cyberpunk to be ridiculously underrepresented in cinema, so watching this was just wonderful. Up there (though not quite on-par) with Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. The story follows Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes), an ex-cop who peddles bootleg memory recordings. A few days before the Millennium, he finds himself wrapped up in a series of crimes that could threaten to erupt the already violent LA into a complete warzone. This was just great to watch. The setting of 1999 LA felt very much akin to Verhoeven's Detroit, corruption and crime and all. Of the three films by Katheryn Bigelow that I've seen, I'd saw this was my favourite. Highly recommend it to all fans of the genre. Hell, fans of movies in general.

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

This was fantastic. Sally Hawkins (Layer Cake) plays Pauline, happy and cheerful primary school teacher who tries to pass off her happiness and exuberance on to others. I loved Sally Hawkins in this. She's so cute. Her character was naïve and outgoing but that's what I loved about her. The scene when she met the homeless man was one of my favorite moments; as were the times when she was with the driving instructor Scott. Played brilliantly by Eddie Marsan It had a dark ring of truth to it, showing the audience how richly fun and sad the world can be at times.

Strange Days

Spoiler
I f**king loved this. I've always found cyberpunk to be ridiculously underrepresented in cinema, so watching this was just wonderful. Up there (though not quite on-par) with Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. The story follows Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes), an ex-cop who peddles bootleg memory recordings. A few days before the Millennium, he finds himself wrapped up in a series of crimes that could threaten to erupt the already violent LA into a complete warzone. This was just great to watch. The setting of 1999 LA felt very much akin to Verhoeven's Detroit, corruption and crime and all. Of the three films by Katheryn Bigelow that I've seen, I'd saw this was my favourite. Highly recommend it to all fans of the genre. Hell, fans of movies in general.

Star Wars: The Clones Wars

7.5/10

First time watching it since I am barely going to get started on the TV show of the same name. I enjoyed the voice acting in this movie along with how well the characters interacted with each other. Music is f**king awesome, it definitely won me over when Ahsoka finally decided to get real when she and Anakin were climbing towards the location of Jabba JR. It was badass.

Looking forward to watching the show now.

That duel was pretty neat. Anakin was definitely WAY more disciplined there than before, and even more so than Episode III...for some reason.

And yeah, I'm on episode 2 right now of season 1. If I catch up, we should definitely see it together when we're on the same episode.

My parents recorded it off of TV way back in the 80s for me when i was a kid, and I still have the VHS tape, lol. The quality held up okay but, like you, I have looked everywhere trying to find a nice DVD version somewhere, but no luck.

Every bit as good as when I watched it at the theater. Best directed and photographed Bond film to date. The making of doc on the blu-ray is excellent. The only point of (new) critique I can come up with after my second viewing - perhaps there's a tad too many catchy one-liners or short, cool comebacks in the films dialogue, exchanged between Bond and whoever is in the room with him at any given time. Not by any means a big deal though.

Patlabor: The Movie (1989)

This is my second Mamoru Oshii movie and it's great. In the future (1999) giant robots called Laborers are used for redevelopment purposes and for a section in the police department. When Laborers start going crazy without pilots and causing chaos, the police step in to investigate. This was a lot of fun. The characters were great and the animation was top notch. Not to mention Kenji Kawai's soundtrack kicked ass. Some of my favorite moments were in the last act of the movie when they're on the Ark. The scene when they first get to the Ark and they're in a jeep shooting the hell out of everything and Kawai's cue kicks in...ohmygod.

I am ready for the sequel. :laugh:

The first two movies are on Youtube with terrible English dubs if you're feeling like being a heretic.

Or you could grab the amazing two disc sets with two full length books for the first two movies, and the 3-disc set for the third film. The original series is coming out on Blu-ray in April, too.

These are the only two images that ring any bells, especially since these are the only two images I have ever seen of Patlabor, which is why this whole "deja-vu" thing is happening.

The original series (7 eps) is basically a fun anime action comedy. You can find the whole series on Youtube in HD:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZOEAS_Vj6Q#noexternalembed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZOEAS_Vj6Q#noexternalembed)

The films, however, do a complete 360 and (minus the first one to an extent) are very mature and very challenging in terms of narrative complexity and political intrigue. All three are dark, intelligent thrillers, and the second one is very close to Oshii's subsequent Ghost in the Shell in tone.

From what I remember, there was a time when my parents owned this movie and we watched. I was young and apparently not paying attention to the details because I actually enjoyed this movie back then. For years I forgot about it entirely or had a vague memory of the movie. Then finally my memory was jolted, so I did a youtube search and found the whole movie. Only I wish I hadn't seen it in the first place. The plot has to be one of the craziest to hit the big screen

The mad scientist makes Dinosaurs from chicken eggs
[close]
Not to mention the movie was full of strange plot twists, absolutly horrid effects which make the dinosaurs look like rubber, and acting was made me cringe every second line. There is a character in the movie name Thrush, someone loses a foot and it makes them stop screaming, seriously.... This honestly has to be one of the worst movies ever made, in the top 100 at least. It blows my mind that this movie spawned two sequels and a movie that was made completely of recycled stock footage from those movies, and the funny thing is that I am leaving some of the worse plot points out intentionally.

Please avoid this movie unless you really like terrible movies, and remember that this is coming from someone who has AvP-R listed as his favourite in the series.

Every bit as good as when I watched it at the theater. Best directed and photographed Bond film to date. The making of doc on the blu-ray is excellent. The only point of (new) critique I can come up with after my second viewing - perhaps there's a tad too many catchy one-liners or short, cool comebacks in the films dialogue, exchanged between Bond and whoever is in the room with him at any given time. Not by any means a big deal though.

Yeah, I love that movie as much as Goldeneye and Casino Royale.

Still lives up to today, I think. Great humor, fun story, and lots of surprises, not to mention a kick-ass song by Kiss during the end credits. But good God, looking back, I remember how that whole scene in Hell traumatized me as a kid, especially the old grandmother (shudders). William Sadler (as Death) is dead hilarious (no pun intended  ;D).

They Live (1988)

Roddy Piper (and his magnificent mullet) star in one of John Carpenter's most interesting and underrated movies. It pokes fun at aliens, materialism, consumerism and Carpenter's rebellion against authority. I love this movie so much. Piper plays a likable blue collar character. Its fun to go on this journey with this character and when he puts on the glasses for the first time is excellent. We get to see his reactions to the world he thought he knew. The scene when Piper and Keith David go at it is incredibly brutal. Just when you think it's over, they excessively go at it again.

It's also a big f**k you to Ronald Reagan. God I love Carpenter's films.

There's a tiny voice deep inside my head, asking me 'what if' in the sense of - what if Carpenter had more funds to play with, a tighter script and had made the choice to move this film closer to genuine horror territory than the humorous action-horror subgenre most people seem to associate the film with today.

Not a complaint really, more an observation. I'm a fan of early Carpenter as well and I just dug out Prince Of Darkness from the depths of a closet some days ago.

Universal Soldier: Regeneration

While it's difficult to picture a film as bleak as Regeneration taking place in the UniSol 'You're discharched, SARGE' universe, I couldn't care less about tonal inconsistencies when the basic fundamentals are nailed this well.

For one thing, there's no fat to trim. Keeping the plot simple (bad guys kidnap important children and threaten nuclear destruction) is an immediate plus, while confining it to an isolated location (basically the same foreboding industrial complex used in everything from Cobra to Robocop) nets in a whole load of brownie points (and helps to avoid those DTV budget pitfalls). 

Andrei Arlovski and Mike Pyle fans will of course get a kick out of Regeneration, but its treatment of original UniSols Luc Deveraux and Andrew Scott is the crucial part. So thank heavens nobody dropped that ball.

Now little more than an empty shell, it makes a sad sort of sense that Deveraux would break down while attempting to re-enter society. It's a reduced role, but Van Damme gives one of his best performances outside of JCVD and Until Death, showcasing a mix of childlike innocence and lethal killing machine.   

Is Lundgren needed here? Perhaps not, but Scott's resurrection isn't merely cheap fan service. Watching him pay tribute to Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner is chilling; and his brief, disconnected and mentally fractured meeting with Deveraux is a haunting moment in the series.

And the action? Copious bursts of practical blood and virtually zero shakey cam is the closest I get to a religious experience these days. Maybe its violence gets a bit repetitive with all the MMA ground-pound-face-death-punching (I'm not sure if that's a thing), but John Hyams directs the action with a coolly simplistic efficiency that always satisfies; and Van Damme's climactic killing spree is a choreographed work of violent GENIUS. Finishing off with not one, but two brutal mano-a-mano showdowns completes the purely old school experience.

Best of all, this doesn't so much retcon The Return as it does just give it the 'NYA NYA NYA I CAN'T HEAR YOU' treatment. For that reason alone, I love it.

Regeneration remains, for all intents and purposes, the Die Hard of DTV.

The End of Evangelion

Again. I can, with confidence, say this is one of my favorite sci-fi films I've seen, and one of the greatest animated features ever made. The 'Komm, susser Tod' sequence is one of the most emotionally conflicting and mesmerizing things I've ever seen. And then of course there's the end... felt the exact same cold as I did before, but now with a wider spectrum of thought on how things would carry on from where we leave off. I suppose that's more comforting, but at the same time, it presents a debatably more bleak view.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

So this is what happens when you throw Heart of Darkness, Total Recall and Drive into a blender. It's such a strange mix of art house filmmaking and old fashioned martial arts revenge drama... I'm really not sure where to start.

But I loved the visuals, thought the action was well crafted (and shockingly violent), the manner in which both old and new characters were handled was interesting, and if this is how the story ends, then I'm happy with that.

At least I think I am...

The Thing (2011)

Finally got around to seeing this. It was...all right. Definitely came no where close to Carpenter's film (not that I was expecting it to be anywhere near that level) and the Thing CGI effects were pretty bad, but the movie wasn't terrible. The stuff with the spaceship was kind of cool, and I really liked the scene playing during the ending credits (and hearing the classic theme music!). Mary Elizabeth Winstead's and Joel Edgerton's characters were fairly interesting (and I thought their final scene together was well done) but I have a hard time remembering anyone else. I think the biggest problem I had with the movie, however, was that there was never any real tension. There were one or two jump scares that got me, but apart from that I never really felt anything for the in regards to the situation the characters were going through.

Definitely in the mood to watch the 1982 film now, though 8)

This was a fantastic thriller. Absolutely fantastic. Aksel Hennie was brilliant as Roger Brown, the recruiter/art thief who gets way over his head. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was chilling as Clas Greve, the man responsible for the depth of Roger's problems. This thing was thrilling, exciting, depressing, and morbidly hilarious at various points throughout its 100-minute runtime. I highly recommend this film.

Bleak, bloody and brutal film about a sadistic lawyer (Vincent Price, whose horrific character here is based on historical fact) who goes from town to town in mid-1600s England, falsely accusing women and men of witchcraft before torturing and murdering them in accordance with Biblical law. Beautifully photographed, and Price had rarely been better.

Cloud Atlas

4 stars

Had the same issue I have with Game of Thrones - by moving each one of a myriad number of stories a fractional amount with each chunk, before switching to another story, the sense of progress feels glacial and unsatisfying, and you don't have enough time to become properly rooted in a particular setting. I'd have preferred longer parts (That's what she said!).
I'm hoping a home media release will provide the option to watch each story unabridged, back to back in chronological order. I'd definitely buy it in that case, and I don't buy many movies.

Also felt each story had too little to connect them narratively, and it would have been nice if there was more continuance of the character traits or role each actor had in their repeat roles (beyond just "Hugo Weaving is the baddie").

Anyway... the only story I didn't love was the conspiracy set in the '70s, though even that had a tremendous chase sequence. Every other segment connected with me a lot, I particularly liked Jim Broadbent's nursing home jailbreak, which unusually for the Wachowskis provided some welcome levity (not necessarily saying that critically, Matrix Revolutions is one of my favourite films of all time). An absolute ton of emotional power throughout the film, and ultimately despite my issues I found it thought provoking and a top-tier piece of filmmaking.

Final note, can we have Hugo Weaving in more films, please?
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: SpaceMarines on Mar 04, 2013, 01:01:21 AM
Glad you enjoyed it. I'd disagree about the connectivity between the stories, or the editing of them, however. While there was no real narrative tie, the thematic connection more than made up for it in my eyes. And I personally loved how the stories were interwoven, but diff'rent strokes.

As for the nursing home bit; you're right that it doesn't feel like the Wachowskis' usual style. That's because it was directed by Tim Tykwer. The Wachowskis did the future bits and the one set on the slaver. The other three were Tykwer's.

The Hard Way (1991)

Out of countless buddy cop movies, this was pretty good. James Woods along with his sexy swagger plays a NYC police detective John Moss. He's is trying to track down a serial killer played by a craaaaazy Stephen Lang. Along for the ride is Michael J. Fox who plays a movie star trying to prep for a new role as a cop. So you guessed it, he teams up with James Woods. I felt the two of them hit it off well. This movie, like so many others in the genre tries to balance the action and the comedy equally. It's nothing memorable, but fun nonetheless.

The Queen of Versailles (2012)

What starts out as rubbernecking at its finest turns into something more complicated and even perversely affecting -- a documentary centering around the downward financial spiral of an obscenely rich billionaire scam artist building the country's largest home, modeled after Versailles, (he also brags he got Bush elected both times) and his jaw-droppingly ignorant, self-absorbed trophy wife, who is nevertheless something of a likeable person due to her flashes of genuine humanity and real love of her husband (who clearly does not love her in return -- watching her go under the knife and desperately try and stay in his favor is painful to watch). A chilling and hilarious look at how the 1% lives.

8/10



Bullhead (2011)

Another one of those ultra-slick, flashy, violent macho-posturing tough guy movies en vogue lately (think Drive), but this one actually has some substance, and a great performance from Matthias Schoenaerts as the titular growth hormone-abusing brute.

Avalon

This film looks incredible (up until the final act anyway), sounds amazing and features a beautiful lead actress.

Without giving much away, the film leaves you asking questions and gives you more than enough time to ponder them over the various slow motion shots and the scattered repetitive shots (most likely an artistic choice to depict Ash's mundane reality). There is a consistent theme throughout the film that some people live in an unhappy reality and choose to escape into a virtual reality.

But, as much as I love some mystery and coming up with various theories, I left the film feeling unsatisfied and just a tad frustrated. That's unfortunate as I felt really intrigued during the first half of the film.

The film oozes style but I personally didn't find much in the way of substance.

Eh, about what I expected :laugh:

There is quite a bit of substance though, and the film is designed to facilitate repeat viewings. For example, all those repeated shots and sequences? The shots of Ash walking around the city? Notice the other characters. Notice that they never move. Every time Ash exits the Avalon hub, there's a sound effect of a can being kicked, every time, regardless of whether she kicks one or not. The world she's living in may be no different, no more authentic, than the game world or Class Real, which after some mindf**kery from Oshii is revealed to really just be another simulation inside another simulation, and thus Ash's original world is just another simulation harboring those others. Like many of Oshii's films, it's exploring the idea of transcendence and deliverance (he studied to be a Christian priest before renouncing the faith), substituting religion for technology, and the idea that religion or belief structures will always fail you, and you have to just make life on your own terms (key dialogue exchange when Ash asks the game master if he's a real person or a part of the system, he replies "What does it matter? You couldn't confirm it anyway.") 

And then there's the Odin symbolism (the Crown of Oblivion = the helmet you put on to enter the game, etc) and the faceless/decapitated statue motif, etc, etc.

I noticed that she pretty much wore black the entire movie, her uninspired fashion choices acting as a simile for the meaninglessness of life. She had goggles, clearly symbolic of our inability to see what our future holds. And she wore a face cover, an allusion to society's obsession with appearance and body image.

Avalon

This film looks incredible (up until the final act anyway), sounds amazing and features a beautiful lead actress.

Without giving much away, the film leaves you asking questions and gives you more than enough time to ponder them over the various slow motion shots and the scattered repetitive shots (most likely an artistic choice to depict Ash's mundane reality). There is a consistent theme throughout the film that some people live in an unhappy reality and choose to escape into a virtual reality.

But, as much as I love some mystery and coming up with various theories, I left the film feeling unsatisfied and just a tad frustrated. That's unfortunate as I felt really intrigued during the first half of the film.

The film oozes style but I personally didn't find much in the way of substance.

6/10

Spoiler
Sorry, Cvalda. :'(

Eh, about what I expected :laugh:

There is quite a bit of substance though, and the film is designed to facilitate repeat viewings. For example, all those repeated shots and sequences? The shots of Ash walking around the city? Notice the other characters. Notice that they never move. Every time Ash exits the Avalon hub, there's a sound effect of a can being kicked, every time, regardless of whether she kicks one or not. The world she's living in may be no different, no more authentic, than the game world or Class Real, which after some mindf**kery from Oshii is revealed to really just be another simulation inside another simulation, and thus Ash's original world is just another simulation harboring those others. Like many of Oshii's films, it's exploring the idea of transcendence and deliverance (he studied to be a Christian priest before renouncing the faith), substituting religion for technology, and the idea that religion or belief structures will always fail you, and you have to just make life on your own terms (key dialogue exchange when Ash asks the game master if he's a real person or a part of the system, he replies "What does it matter? You couldn't confirm it anyway.") 

And then there's the Odin symbolism (the Crown of Oblivion = the helmet you put on to enter the game, etc) and the faceless/decapitated statue motif, etc, etc.

I did read some theories after writing my review and I'll admit that I should have probably given it a second viewing to pick up on the smaller details. I'll boost my rating to a 7 but I still feel like the film is perfection waiting to happen.

Just curious, how do you feel about the various cuts to the Opera performance at the end of the film? Didn't you find it jarring and unnecessary in a Paperboy kind of way?

I only gave the film a 6/10 first time I saw it, too. Bumps up a point every time you see it.

And I love the opera cuts. Pushing it to the brink of pretentiousness, but staying just side of the line. The whole last act is a sort of rebuke to action movie finales: instead of stepping up the effects, it reveals its big twist to be... no special effects at all.

And when your composer writes you a piece that amazing, you have every right to show it off :laugh:

Ending of The Mist is almost hilarious in how forced it is. Feels like Darabont forced this super downer ending, and the reveal that military was just right down the road makes things even more tragicomic.

If he had real conviction it would have just ended with him killing them, and no help in sight. That would have been a bleak ending that worked.

Patlabor 2: The Movie (1993)

After watching the highly impressive and visually stunning original film a week back, it was time to check out the sequel. This did not disappoint in the slightest. The plot involves the investigation of a bridge bombing in the heart of Tokyo. Members of the SV2 Laborer division thus begin looking into the incident. Mamoru Oshii is a master storyteller and visual artist. His scenes are more than they appear to be; whether its seagulls covering a beach or the way the light hits a certain character. It sets the mood perfectly. The scenes between Goto and Arakawa were easily my favorite parts. Arakawa being this 'deep throat' character if you will. He's very mysterious and never reveals too much about himself. The final act was great, and the face to face between Nagumo and Tsuge was handled flawlessly.

I love this series. Love it.

The Hurt Locker (2008)

Excellent performances and impeccably taut direction from Kathryn Bigelow are undercut by the obviousness of Mark Boal's first screenplay and some truly atrocious shaky-zoom photography that is going to harshly date the film in years to come. Thankfully Bigelow ditched the zoom-cam and Boal fine tuned his screenwriting for Zero Dark Thirty.

7/10

Visually it was very beautiful to look at. Also Mark Strong, Dominic West and James Purefoy are always fun to watch.

There's been some comparison between Attack of the Clones and this during the arena fight, but I thought Andrew Stanton handled his sequence way better than Lucas did. It's a shame this bombed. Stanton had a proper Barsoom trilogy planned out.

Pet Sematary Two (1992)

Jesus, I've always been creeped out by the first film.

The second one made plenty of reference to the first film, as upon Jeff's (Edward Furlong) father meeting the old vet from the first film. That burial ground stills creeps me out to this day. And the fat kid's (cause I forgot his name) dog 'Zowie', was my favorite character. Who actually died first and was buried at the grounds and brought back. Much like the first film, it had the same plot, unlike the first film; this one creeped me out in a way of "oh god, not again" sorta way.

As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time. So now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones and that the oomny ones use, like, inspiration and what Bog sends. For now it was lovely music that came to my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on and I viddied right at once what to do.

The Hangover: Part II

There were aspects of this that I actually enjoyed more than the first one. I think the fact that I was expecting this one to be vastly inferior had something to do with that. I can appreciate the fact that they were genuinely going for the goal of replicating the first one's basic storyline because it's done in a fun way and in an interesting locale that provides a lot of well-executed dark comedy-- emphasis on the 'dark'. The tone of this one is very different from the first and I really liked that; hell, even the cinematography stood out here... one of the best filmed comedies I've seen since Tropic Thunder. Very tight and stylish and it features some breathtaking aerial shots of Bangkok and other surrounding Thai locales.

I can definitely see why people found this so disappointing, but being prepared for what I got (with some pleasant surprises), I found it overall on-par with the first (which I was very fond of).

I just finished watching Sinister with Ethan Hawk. i'm gonna rate it 7/10
It was an alright movie, more thriller than horror imo. It wasn't too terribly scary but it had its creepy moments. I've been holding everything to a Grave Encounters and V/H/S standards though so maybe that's why I didn't really think it was scary.

Disney's reboot to 'The Wizard of Oz' explores trickster and conman Oscar Diggs (played by James "Harry Osborn" Franco) and how he discovered the fantastical world of Oz, not to mentioning making a few enemies (Kunis and Weisz). Start of the movie pays respectable homage to the classic 1939 film, shot in black and white. And as you'd predict, once in Oz, everything shines and sparkles.

Sam Raimi delivers all the magical goods. He certainly knows how to scare his audience (especially with old wrinkled creepy-ass witches), and for fans of his movies, you'll spot a lot of his traits. (See if you can point out Bruce Campbell in his almost unrecognizable cameo.)  ;)

The ending though, did feel a little underwhelming. And honest to say, I wish they could have picked a better actress to play the Wicked Witch of the West.
Spoiler
Mila Kunis looks okay, but she just can't capture the essence of Margaret Hamilton. And is it wrong for me to keep thinking of Meg Griffin?

Watching it again I think they could have shortened some of the Gwen/Peter scenes abit the one part in the bedroom after his encounter with the lizard tends to drag. but other then that still hits the high points when it needs to.

just had to watch it again after all the news with TASM2.

Haha, sounds like a fun time. Mine are just DVD, unfortunately. I've only seen the second and third once each, probably back in 2010 (definitely 2010 for the third, since I saw it in the theater). Found them for a great price on Amazon and couldn't not buy then ;)

I've seen the first one dozens of times, even saw it in the theater a couple years ago. The second is a great guilty pleasure. Only saw the third one once when it was originally released, and that was probably the worst movie-going experience I've ever had -- not because of the movie, but because there were only two other people in the theater and they decided they would just TALK REALLY LOUDLY throughout the whole f**king film and were insanely rude. So I'm ready to see that one again in the privacy and quiet of home :laugh:

The Last Wave, a supernatural / oneiric arthouse thriller by Peter Weir and starring Richard Chamberlain. Very good and suspenseful film that was impossible to predict and intertwined lucidity with dreams to an extent you didn't know what is what anymore. It also had oneiric editing style. Btw very Lynch-ian and a bit like X-Files, it featured Aboriginal people.

I loved the sound track and the minimalist dialog between actors. Although, I wasn't expecting a slow paced melancholic movie based off the trailers, it had me on the edge of my seat in heart pounding suspense. My parents hated it. Said the movie was "too violent, and had a stupid plot." Whatever, they don't appreciate a good drama.

This is actually a lot better than I remember it being. I remembered it being a little too cheesy, but it really wasn't that bad... Like the first film it was a ton of fun! I loved Harrigan and Lambert, and really enjoyed seeing a bit more of the Predator this time around (especially 'dat ship at the end!). Really glad I caved in and decided to buy this.

Predator (1987)

Expertly directed 80s action movie trash. Iconic score and creature design combined with beautifully gritty jungle photography, skillful editing (the siege on the gorilla camp especially), and genuine suspense. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
8/10

Predator 2 (1990)

Who knew Gary Busey's torso is actually anti-gravity? Who knew rush hour trains just keep going without ever stopping? Who knew Danny Glover could kick so much ass in granny pants? Explosively stupid and over the top cop movie cliche storm ("I ain't rollin' over for nobody, especially the feds!"), and all the better for it.
6/10

Predators (2010)

The Predator franchise makes it into the era of comic book Fanboy Market Testing -- congratulations, kids, here's your Predator/samurai duel! Please give your money to the guy at the ticket counter and try not to cream your jeans -- and it's at least more at home in this era than, say, the Alien franchise (Prometheus, cough). It's another dumb, solidly made actioner with Adrian Brody pumped up, shirtless and covered in mud. Could be worse.

Oz: The Great and Powerful

To my pleasant surprise I really enjoyed it. I'll be honest, the whole time before seeing it I was just praying it wasn't going to be some Tim Burton "hehe look how quirky this shit is" Alice in Wonderland 2010-tier crap, but it was just a really well-meaning fantasy film played straight that, as a prequel, didn't include a slough of groan-inducing references and winks to the original.

I was skeptical on James Franco as Oz, as I don't like him much in other roles or as a host... *cough*... but I thought he pulled it off really well without seeming like a one-note slow-speaking ironic stoner type. There was actually charm. I thought Mila Kunis was mis-cast for her role, but even so she did her best with it. Michelle Williams was perfect in her role; a simple one, but she looked and acted the part very well-- a standard fare loved-by-all princess, but it had a lot of classic appeal to it without the need to throw an annoying modern-day sassy twist on it.

The effects worked well with backgrounds of a kind of painterly fashion which made the world of Oz look very pretty and full of charm that really took me back to the original, and CGI characters that are irresistably endearing; I forgot that they were CGI soon after their introductions because they were so expressive and lovable that they blended wonderfully with the rest of the world and real actors. China Girl and Finley were very memorable characters and probably my favorite part of the film.

For anybody going in expecting a modern or edgy twist on the world, I wouldn't bother with the movie. It's a very honest and warm fairy tale with some great characters and fun setpiece moments. Sam Raimi has done well.

Predators

Haven't seen this since 2010 in the theater. I know it gets a bad rap here with some people, but you know what...I enjoy it. When I first saw it I think I felt as though it was the 'perfect' followup to the original film, but now, having rewatched all three again, I think Predator 2 is a better made movie than Predators. Still, I liked the characters (though sme of them, especially Noland, needed more development) and I loved the whole concept of the game reserve planet in this one. The Predators were also really cool, albeit being a bit underused. If Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal ever get together again and decide to do a followup I'd definitely be excited to check it out, and it would be cool to see a few more alien species get dropped on the planet (especially this guy (http://p1.la-img.com/930/18669/6321806_2_l.jpg)). Otherwise, I would just like to see a fourth Predator film in general... I think we're about due for another one :)

Kill Switch

There's a part, early on, where The Seagal kicks this serial killer out a window. Due to someone's inspired creative wisdom, the defenestration shot is repeated at least 10 times.

... Once I had changed my trousers, I settled back down for the remaining nauseatingly edited 80 minutes of slimmed down body doubles and awkward dubbing inserts, that, while bearable, never quite reaches the opening scene's emotional cleansing.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

25 years on and this is still a milestone technical achievement, and probably always will be -- that's how seamless the incorporation of cel animation and live action is. The title character is incredibly irritating, though, and not in an endearing way, and the whole thing feels overlong. Still, admitting this isn't really my sort of thing, it's a solid film and it's easy to see why so many like it. And this is immeasurably better than Zemekis's later nightmarishly dreadful dabblings in animation.

Were it not for the AVP series, there wouldn't even be any need to compare them. While both are sci-fi/horror, they are also completely different.

My Way, its a Korean movie abut two Korean kids who get forced to fight for the Japanese army, who then get captured by the Soviets and are forced to fight for them, who are then captured by the Germans and forced to fight for them, who are then captured on Omaha Beach by the Americans. This is possibly the worst WW2 movie I have ever seen, its so historically inaccurate (Its also based off a true story) that its painful. The actors are overacting all the time, and the only good parts are the action scenes, despite how off they were with the history.

This movie is a 2/10

Dead Man Down (2013)

This was a moderately decent revenge thriller, what with the acting talents of Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Isabelle Huppert and Terrence Howard. The problem is that the plot gets bogged down and loses focus. It becomes increasingly contrived as the movie progresses. Colin Farrell doesn't really have to do much except look ruggedly handsome in each scene. He pretty much sleep walked through this one. Rapace was great, which I expected. With such a great cast, and director Niels Arden Oplev, this had great potential. I was let down.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Aspie on Mar 12, 2013, 02:21:08 AM
Colin Farrel has been hit or miss with his selection of movies lately. But given the directing talent, I see why he would've chose this film to do.

Outpost: Black Sun (2012)

Now this was a lot of fun. It's a direct follow-up to 2008's little horror gem of a picture, Outpost. But what makes Black Sun work is that the movie is a stand alone film. You don't need to know what happened in the original to understand what's going on here. They've merely expanded the Outpost mythology both literally and figuratively. A Nazi hunter teams up with a scientist and a Special Forces regiment to try and stop the machine that powers the undead Goose steppers. From there things go from bad to worse, and it's wildly entertaining to watch. I really liked the final moments. Looking forward to where they plan to take this next.

Shocking and tense and moving and downright hilarious. Every single member of this cast was awesome, but I think my favourite has to be Sam Rockwell. Absolutely loved his character.

He's paranoid. Same reason why he gave the Secret Service agent false information. Like so many of the criminals and pimps that disgusted him, he probably felt the senator was corrupt and only looking out for himself. That's how I interpreted it.

Six Bullets

Van Damme accidentally murders some children while wearing a fake goatee, so he becomes an alcoholic butcher and gives up his mercenary ways. But then the daughter of the stubbly guy from that Stargate spinoff is kidnapped by evil Euro villains, driving Claude to put on a shirt and return to duty once more in the name of Redemption!

I enjoyed it. There are some inherit DTV budget issues, the villains could have been stronger and one day I'd love to see a return to the more lighthearted time of early 90s Dammage (though he does get to smile a bit here), but this was a solid action flick with a few strong(ish) characters. 

On a side note, I wonder if either of Mr. Damme's children will manage to secure an acting career beyond appearing in their dad's movies. They're getting distracting. :D

That was good! I remember being surprised by how it had more dramatic elements that action, and he pulled it off. Wake of Death also stands out (despite being a more conventional revenge thriller) due to his acting.

Can't say why, but JCVD films with Death in the title tend to fare pretty well.

Django Unchained (2012)

The first time I watched this movie, it didn't really impress me, so I was surprised to find that on a second viewing, I really liked it. Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio both shine in their roles, and while I wouldn't say that Foxx is in any way bad, they both kind of steal the show from him, which is why those last twenty minutes still seem to drag a bit. Other than that, the pacing is great, the music is good and the violence is over the top. I'm glad I gave this a second chance and watched it on the big screen.

Aside from a few plot holes, annoying characters, and a severe lack of a good score. This is a truly enjoyable movie.

I also remember Peter Benchley's The Beast, another TV movie about a giant squid attacking a town as revenge for killing its baby squid. Seriously. It's basically Orca... with a squid... and less production value :laugh:

All I remember is Sharkmin and the dad from Poltergeist locked in a deadly battle of outrun the lugubrious mechanical animatronic.
Craig T. Nelson? Holy shit, I'm in x7.

He's awesome as Zeek on Parenthood (even thought the show is a bit rough around the edges) and was great voicing Bahb (aka Mister Incredible) in The Incredibles.

Sharkmin coming up!

The images Cvalda's post make it look like something of an Alien knockoff with a Sharkmin instead of a Starbeast. I'm in.

Not really an Alien knockoff, the lab is used in the begginning and end of the movie(err mini-series), and sparingly in between.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

The best of the prequel trilogy in terms of story and action. If not for the poor acting by Portman and Christensen this would be worthy of the originals.

Call me crazy, but I didn't think Portman and Christensen were all that bad. Even their romance scenes in AotC didn't bother me.

By the way, love your avatar! Palpatine is probably my favorite character from the saga, and his scheming makes up some of the best parts of the prequels.

Cyborg (1989)

What would have been a Masters of the Universe sequel turns into a post apocalyptic vehicle for Van Damme. Now despite the clunky cinematography and dodgy editing this turns out to be a lot of fun. It's not going to win any acting awards what with everyone screaming in every shot, but this is vintage Muscles from Brussels. He's hyper extending those legs to pull off the spin kicks beautifully. Cyborg looks cheap and feels cheap but works in its 80 minute run time. A poster child for B movies.

Blade Trinity Extended Cut. Got its own style, a nice soundtrack and one of Wesley Snipes best performances.

How ever theres things I don't like about it...

Spoiler
Whistlers death and Drakes fight against Blade. He seemed weak even when using big strong swings of his sword  until he goes pure vampire super and actually smashes Blade around. Ryan Reynolds.

Other than that it was great. 2 and 1 tie for first but this is a very close second. A great ending too and Drakes speech at the end.

4/10


Ridiculous film in which a Police department is being killed by some Karate-using maniac. Chuck Norris is called in to help train against this impossible-to-beat threat, but wants nothing to do with it. It's not until Chuck is shown the way of the drug world, and what it does to people, so he decides to go into a training session in which the same scenes are looped over and over (drugs), that he finally decides to help against this enemy.

Insane slow-mo, fight scenes drag on for too long, among other scenes, especially when the Police are cataloging confiscated drugs. The final fight scene with Chuck against the Karate maniac is hilariously bad, and the slow motion with the audio effects...oh, boy...hilarious.


Do not be fooled by the cover of this movie, it's more awesome than the movie itself.

The Heartbreak Kid - 6/10

After being forced into watching it, I can honestly say I enjoyed it for the most part.  Michelle Monaghan was wonderful as always.  Ben Stiller seriously needed punched in the face at times(Which did happen eventually, and a man of war clung to his back after falling off a cliff into the ocean. Win.), but it's Ben Stiller, I should have expected his usual douchebaggery.

The Ring - 7/10

I still don't understand how the girl kills people via a VCR tape, but it's a horror movie, so f**k logic.  Besides that, it was all around decent.  The ending was my only complaint.  Bitch shoulda burned the tape.

Cabin Fever - 7/10

Eli Roth was never someone I was particularly fond of, his movies struck a new level of sick that I myself didn't care for, but this one I enjoyed for the most part.  I loved the ironic ending for the blonde dude, but Paul's 'death' kind of ticked me off.  I heard he's in the sequel for the first like 30 seconds before meeting a gruesome demise.  f**k that.

Side Effects - Starts out as an earnest look at depression and pitfalls of overmedication, then abruptly switches into a strange kind of thriller. Really not sure what to make of it, or how I'd rate it. I will say that Jude Law's the best I've seen him since Gattaca (or maybe Closer), and Rooney Mara mixes great talent with a rare kind of effortless beauty.
Loved the score.

Stoker (2013)

Park Chan-wook makes his Hollywood debut by taking Wentworth Miller's purple screenplay and transforming it, through the sheer power of his mesmerizing style, into some kind of high trash art -- his graceful camera darts and whirls around Mia Wasikoska, Matthew Goode and Nicole Kidman with such mastery and precision that any hiccups in the script or the occasionally overwrought symbolism don't matter; if anything, they contribute the film's deliciously warped, perverse atmosphere. And thank goodness that Hollywood has not steamrolled Park's vision -- despite being forced by producer Ridley Scott to cut twenty minutes from the film (the irony!), this is defiantly, resolutely a Park Chan-wook film, in all its violent, messy, unforgettable glory.

Still satisfying. Parts of the story don't make sense (I'm assuming stuff that was part of that 20 minutes Park had to cut is to blame there), but you're so overwhelmed by his style that you don't care. If you liked his other films, you will probably like this too -- it feels exactly like one of his Korean films, simply using English actors. There's only one overtly bad scene in the film, and there are other parts of the film that absolutely should not work (the scenes with the evil jock characters), but again, the style--THE STYLE!!!--makes up for it.

I don't think a film has to be original to be good. For Masterpeices such as 2001 Space Odd, We Need to talk about Kevin (DEAL WITH IT), and Shawshank, maybe. Stoker was a very good film that had other minor flaws outside of the story, but I still think highly of it.

Because without originality, there is predictability. And being able to predict or forsee the path of a movie is, for me, rather frustrating.

Shadow of the Vampire

This is often unfairly overlooked amongst the endless legion of vampire films. It's a fictional retelling of the making of Nosferatu (depicting Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) as a real life vampire hired by F. W. Murnau (John Malkovich), who proves to be violently uncooperative) that features an enjoyable mix of unsettling horror and black comedy.

Well worth a look.

Sometimes, though, predictability doesn't hamper enjoyment. It depends upon what the film is going for, I find. Case-by-case.

Originality is seldom a bad thing, however.

Timecop (1994)

I loved this so goddamn much. First off Van Damme's hair was awesome. It's like he still had the remnants of Hard Target going on. He plays a cop who travels to different eras in the past stopping criminals who try to better themselves. Enter Ron Silver who plays a slimy senator who hopes to become President. The action was top notch and the duel Van Damme's wasn't lost on me. Seems like when Van Damme works with the Hyams clan, things turn out good.

Aside from that horrible CGI render of mutant Ron Silver it was a fun ride! :laugh:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

In preparation for the upcoming Into Darkness sequel, I have taken it upon myself to watch/rewatch all of the previous Star Trek films, in chronological order.

This is my second(ish) time seeing this particular movie. The first time, I caught it on TV, starting about a quarter the way in, and I really did not like it then. This time around, though, I loved it. Very much felt like an episode of TOS, but writ large, with a heavy dose of 2001 to weird things up a bit. Had a fantastic sense of wonder and discovery, venturing back forth into the universe with the old crew to seek out a strange, new lifeform, heading direct for Earth. The visuals in this were beautiful; yeah, there were a few dodgy shots, here and there, and there were several effects sequences that dragged on a bit too long. But overall, not much of a detraction. The design for the V'Ger ship was fantastic, and the miniature of the Enterprise looked like a real goddamn spaceship. Jerry Goldsmith also presented us with a stirring musical score.

Can't wait to dive back into Wrath of Khan sometime soon; been much too long since I've seen that.

I did just see another episode of TOS on Saturday, though. Just before we got on Halo actually.

Nope, no Netflix yet :( Well, actually, a friend's account is signed onto my XBox...

The episode was 'All Our Yesterdays (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Our_Yesterdays_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series))'.

The Deadly Spawn

The quintessential 80s trash Monster Movie. Amateurishly written (though all the 50s sci-fi and Harryhausen love, both written and visual, I did rather like), shot (no coherence in colors!) and acted (though it gets somehow decent in very temporally limited scenes). The gore is hilarious and holy shit they cooked one of these things this is the best film of all mankind.

I want to know what these things taste like. Especially when they're blended. Mmmm!

I'll say, most of the creature-specific effects were well done for such a tight budget. I especially liked the swimming baby Spawns, achieved with pre-cut tracks on the floor.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

I really enjoy this movie. I don't think it deserves all the hate it gets, and I think the quality of the original trilogy meant that people looked at this harsher than they normally would. I think the story is really good, and this has arguably the best acting of the trilogy (excluding Anakin, but he's a kid. Although some of his dialogue is painful). I have watched all the prequel films in the past few days, and my ranking is:

1) Revenge of the Sith
2) The Phantom Menace
3) Attack of the Clones

The stories themselves are pretty good, but some shoddy acting here and there makes them sometimes unbearable.

Though I didn't really think Jake Lloyd was bad as Anakin. A few lines were kind of eh, but for the most part his delivery was fine.

Also, its Attack of the Clones, not The Clone Wars...The Clone Wars is the animated film ;)

Delta Force 2: The Columbian Connection

Chuck Norris returns to duty in what I assumed would be yet another uninspired hack job sequel from the Cannon Group... which it totally is... but by GOD it's bonerrific.

Not only that, but it's also misogynistic as f**k. This could've been just another 'get the drug lord' romp, but then the EVIL Billy Drago shoots Chuck's bicurious BFF's pregnant wife in the FACE. What's more, said BFF is then recorded being gassed to death ON VHS just to piss Chuck off (f**k yeah, you don't get any of this shit in that pussy fart gaywad Avengers wankery).

What follows is a perfect shitstorm of badassery as Chuck infiltrates Drago's compound and does battle with his right hand Gigantor Mullet henchman for five minutes of slow-mo roundhouse kicks and arm breaks, culminating in a gory fatality that made my dick rock f**king hard.

Meanwhile, John P. Ryan (what the f**k do you mean, you "haven't seen Avenging Force"?!) leads the Delta Squad into action, bellowing orders like a shell-shocked Santa Claus from the cockpit of his infinite rocket-equipped helicopter!

Seriously, the whole second half of this thing is just one long action sequence where the same Korean stuntman is riddled with bullets at least twenty times! Given how furiously I was masturbating by this point, however, that number may off due to my somewhat impaired vision.

But best of all, it doesn't f**k around when wrap-up time comes calling. As soon as Drago is killed hilariously, the movie ends.

It literally goes:

1 - Death
2 – One-liner
3 – Fade to black
4 – 80s SONG CREDITS

... My whole life just changed.

So I gave this movie another watch to see if I'd have a change of heart and give it a different rating. But no...my feelings stand as previously. Again, I thought the story about Futuristic Seoul was fantastically visualized and the story with Broadbent trapped in the old folks home having to contend with Nurse Hugo Weaving was downright hilarious. Actors do their performances spot-on, but I did find some of the visual effects/makeup little odd, ie making Asian actors look Caucasian and vice-versa just seemed bizarre and creepy (more creepy if you ask me honestly). Sadly, the movie suffers from a needlessly convoluted script and (in my opinion at least) bad intercutting. Now I know the movie's meant to be following the flow of the book, which in that account, is faithful to. But when translating it to cinema, it doesn't work well. And I'll say it again, I'm really curious to see how the movie would have played out if it had been shown in chronological order.

Rating: 3/5.

That's fine, dude.

In truth, I really DO want to love it more and call it the best movie of 2012. You can tell that the filmmakers really did put all of their effort into this, and it clearly shows. So my applauds to them. But still, for reasons I've already said, I felt this movie could have been much better.

Spring Breakers (2013)

Imagine if Terrance Malick directed a trashy cheesecake sexploitation thriller -- complete with whispered voiceovers on top of dreamy montages -- and you'll be able to imagine something close to the hypnotically boring experience of Spring Breakers. It's not really satire, but it's not really committed trash, either -- which basically means it's just a flashy, attention whoring curio with some neato-neon cinematography and gangsta James Franco giving head to the barrel of a gun, while former Disney starlets writhe around in bikinis watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It's at least 20 minutes too long, but Harmony Korine's typically irritating work is at least irritating enough to be memorable this time around.

6/10


Stoker (2013)

Seeing it a second time magnifies its many flaws, but likewise its even more numerous flashes of brilliance, and Park Chan-wook's intricate visual symbolism becomes even clearer.

8/10

Underworld Awakening

Humans are now thrown into the species war between lycans and vampires. There is little nods to the previous films and a brief recap to get everyone up to pace incase they haven't seen any of them. Nice creature designs mainly on the feral lycans and the super lycan.

Spoiler
I know there are films that copy the Ripley and Newt formula *cough*ResidentEvilRetribution*cough* but in this case Selenes daughter can actually fight back, defend herself and even kill.

Cloud Atlas

If you don't like the movie, don't bother with the spoiler.

Spoiler
From book to film, it earns its place as one of the greatest stories ever told. An expansive, hugely layered, story that easily takes one through a spectrum of emotions without an intrusive barrier of pretension. That was something I was certain would be around, to an extent, and while watching, I wasn't even looking for it because the opening scenes had me arrested right to the end. And indeed it is one of those fairy tales that indeed earns its happy ending.

There is seldom a line that can genuinely take my breath away, but when Doona Bae's Sonmi-451 delivered the "Someone already does" line, I was absolutely floored. It's one of those lines that causes such an indescribable moment of revelation that I can't help but applaud it.

I can't help but think that with this brief review I'm selling the movie short, but I can say this: It's an utterly beautiful story about choice, conscience, and connection that I can't wait to watch again and again. Take notes, Terrence Malick; this is how it's done.

Another old gem from Coppola's golden years. Gene Hackmans finest performance in his career. A must-see for every film fan out there. This thriller has so many layers, whether we are dealing with the character portrayal or its thematic core. The supporting cast is magnificent in itself.

"Man on Fire" by Tony Scott, with Denzel Washington.  Very under-rated film, IMHO.  I thought it was aces.  Besides, Vera Farmiga, Brendon Gleeson, Robert Patrick and Scott Glenn are in it, for pete's sake.

I hear they are re-making the 80's television show "The Equalizer" with Denzel Washington.  TOO FRACKIN' LATE...this film is "The Equalizer".

Love The Road to El Dorado. It's the closest Shasvre and I will ever get to being animated.

I wish i had this movie growing up. It kinda makes me feel left out knowing I just saw it for the first time.

Aliens

Saw this motherf**ker on the big screen. Holy shit, that was awesome. There were some issues with the projector at the start, but it was fixed after a minute or so. Went with the lady; her first time watching it. She loved it. I could tell that all that shit in Hadley's Hope really got to her (she bit my hand when the huggers were loose in Medical :laugh:). Unfortunately, she said she liked it a bit more than the first one... Ah, well. Nobody's perfect.

Incidentally, this was also my first time seeing the Theatrical Cut. I've decided I prefer the Special Edition.

Stoker (2013)

Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) delivers a taught and deeply disturbing thriller with fantastic imagery. After the death of her father, India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) and her mother (Nicole Kidman) welcome their father's brother Charlie (Matthew Goode) to stay with them. But all is not as it seems, Charlie is not the charming fellow he appears to be. This was very good. Goddamn does Chan-wook have an eye for making scenes look good. The transitions from one scene to the next were also very imaginative. Some of my favorites were the egg transitioning into India's eye or Evelyn's hair transitioning into blades of grass whilst India is hunting with her father. One of my favorite parts was when both India and Charlie were playing the piano together for the first time. Those scenes in the basement were also very good. Also Mia Wasikowska has the some of the most beautiful eyes I've seen. Had a good time! :)

Just a trick Park used to make all the members of the family that much more unsettling, by invoking an uncanny valley effect. Remember the clearly unnatural blue Kidman's eyes have for most of the movie?

The Mother (2003)

After her husband of many decades dies, an elderly widow (Anne Reid) moves in with her neurotic daughter, and finds herself falling in love and pursuing an affair with a breathtakingly (if improbably) hunky handyman many decades her junior played by Daniel Craig... who also happens to be her daughter's boyfriend. Powerfully understated lead performance from Reid, who makes her growing fixation on Craig incredibly moving (and even -- surprisingly -- genuinely sexy in places).

8/10

Just watched "The Pianist" (2002 -- Adrien Brody) a few weeks ago.  Had seen it when it first came out, but watched it again.  I think it was on IFC.  Anyways, fantastic movie, and it really brings home the horror of the Holocaust, like Schindler's List, but in a more intimate story.

Yes indeed.  I was classically trained on piano for 12 years.  My favorite composers for piano are Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Godowsky, Liszt, and Debussy...with honorable mentions to Gershwin, Schumann, Schubert, and Bach.  My favorite pianists are Martha Agerich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Sviatoslav Richter, and Kristian Zimerman.

I will definitely have to check out "The Piano Teacher".  Thanks for the recommendation.  I just looked up the synopsis on IMDB...looks kind of f**ked up.  ;D

Uh, I liked it actually. It's what A Good Day to Die Hard should have been. The concept and story is very similar to a book I read a few years ago. Gerard Butler does a fine job playing an archetype action hero. It's not like that's a stretch for him anyways. And Rick Yune was nasty as the film's villain. Some of the CGI effects looked a bit dodgy like the helicopters and some of the explosions.

But f**k, if you want to see Butler driving knives into people's craniums and shooting up the White House, check it out. A lot more violent than I thought.

There are lots of obvious similarities and even very similar shots. But, at the same time, there is enough that's different to set Black Swan apart from Perfect Blue.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

I would say this is about as good as the first movie. Sure, the CGI look better and there are some bigger names attached to it, but it's the same cheesy action and plot. I'm not saying it's a bad thing though, as I enjoyed the first one myself. Even a bit more than this one, but that might have been because I had zero expectations on the first movie.

So what happens? The Joes are betrayed and ambushed, leaving only three survivors. Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and some other guy whose name I can't remember and who's never fleshed out as a character. Oh, Snake Eyes is still around as well, but it takes a while before he interacts with the rest of the team. Him and Jinx (which to me felt like a completely pointless character) go after Storm Shadow (no idea how he survived the first movie) and we are treated to some fun battles against ninjas.

The only new character I somewhat enjoyed was Ray Stevenson's Firefly. Seeing him go up against Roadblock was fun and I'm surprised that he had such a major role in the movie. I must have mixed him up with that other Firefly character a bit though, because I was expecting him to pull out a couple of flamethrowers throughout the entire movie.

Oh, speaking of new characters, Bruce Willis was, sad to say, pretty boring. On the other hand, Adrianne Palicki provided some excellent eye candy. Damn, that woman is gorgeous.

Spoiler
Given the reshots this movie went through, I'm surprised that Duke was killed off as quickly as he was. I saw no point in that and would much rather have had him as the lead.

All in all, a enjoyable action flick, but not one that will leave a lasting impression on you.

Decent enough, but a bit too much CGI-ish. I would have liked to see Snake Eyes involved in a longer fight against some badass opponent. He did square off against Storm Shadow, but it ended pretty quickly. Speaking of which, the name "Hard Master" doesn't exactly bring my thoughts to an old sensei, but rather something fitting for a BDSM dungeon. :laugh:

Holy Smoke (1999)

Jane Campion's follow-up to her brilliant, unfairly maligned epic Portrait of a Lady is a self-indulgent clusterf**k as a story, and her attempts at comedy fall painfully flat most of the time, but Kate Winslet, Harvey Keitel and Kate Winslet's breasts all turn in excellent performances, and there are some striking visual moments. This film and In the Cut nearly killed her career for the better part of the next decade until she rebounded with Bright Star and Top of the Lake.

In the Cut (2003)

Jane Campion's infamous near-career killer is a seedy, nasty, ugly, trashily pretentious NC-17 thriller that wastes no time getting to the point: 10 minutes in and we're already getting repulsive closeups of an anonymous woman in the back of a bar sucking cock (Campion zooms in so tight you see every vein and wrinkle in saliva-drenched detail) as Meg Ryan watches from the shadows. Said voyeuristic blowjob scene leads into a murder investigation once the woman performing the act is found decapitated below Ryan's apartment window, and Ryan becomes sexually involved with the homicide detective assigned to the case--who bears a suspicious resemblance to the man she saw on the receiving end of that blowjob. This convoluted set up makes it sound like Campion is mapping out an intricate thriller, but instead she uses it as a jumping point for a menacing, dreamy portrait of female passivity and male sexual aggression -- those expecting a tense buildup and explosive finale will be sorely disappointed, as Campion instead invokes a slowly enveloping mood of dread, punctuated by surprisingly explicit scenes of Meg Ryan getting backdoor oral. Its barely coherent and often boring and overwrought, but, like Lars von Trier's Antichrist, it has a bleak power that's hard to shake at times.

6/10

On a lighter note, the histrionic, outraged comments from Netflix Instant viewers are hilarious:

Quote
This movie should have been rated X. Crime thriller?! Porn is more like it! I didn't know you could view cock on Netflix - but you can!
QuoteVery disappointing to see Meg Ryan in a pornographic movie. I was not only shocked, but offended that a man's personal body part would be displayed so blantly on screen. There was no attempt to even flash these scenes but rather Ms. Champion chose to linger on them.

The Thief of Bagdad (1940)

i LOVED this flick. Stunning art direction and just gets the spirit of the arabian nights tales down so well.... tons of references to the stories. Among those i caught:

Bagdad is central to the stories, it's the main setting in the movie; Jinn trapped in bottle is freed..  and tries to kill his liberator; Man transformed into dog; King disguises himself as a common man to blend with his people; A mechanical flying horse; Samarkand gets a mention; A flying carpet...

Last but not least, Sinbad gets a mention... hiring people to his boat. If you know the tales, you'll know Sinbad's sailors tend to die very quickly during his voyages... no wonder he's allways hiring :P

I've had a friend pestering me since last year to watch this and I kept forgetting to. That is until I started it on Friday but stopped 15 minutes in because I got pissed off cause of my lagging internet when I'm on Youtube on the computer, so I went and watched it on my Wii-U instead earlier today.

T'was pretty f**king cool, lot's of action and some pretty funny moments here and there. Plus dat voice acting, mmm...that was naice. If you know me I really appreciate good voice acting in anything so that's another plus for the movie. :laugh:

Crazy Heart (2009)

Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is an alcoholic country singer whose career and life have reached its low point. That is until he falls in love with Maggie Gyllenhaal's Jean, a reporter and single mother. A reall good movie, in my opinion. Both Bridges and Gyllenhaal were excellent in their roles (she looks lovely with short hair) and both the music and those landscape shots were beautiful. Maybe the movie could have benefited from some more backstory regarding Blake and Tommy, as well as Blake struggling a bit more with overcoming his alcoholism, but all in all, it was very good.

Excision (2012)

Blacklabel recommended this to me and I'm glad he did -- if John Waters remade May, this might be something like the result (and fittingly, the man himself turns up in a wicked little cameo as a priest). Brilliant lead performance from Annalynne McCord as a demented burgeoning necrophiliac with dreams of becoming a surgeon, and a great supporting cast rounded out by Waters-fave Traci Lords, Malcolm McDowell, Marlee Matlin and Ray Wise. The script is rough and over-padded at even 80 minutes (this was originally a short film, here expanded to feature length), but the dialogue is sharp and funny throughout.

Worst as in horrific? I didn't really have a moment like that -- that kind of over-the-top stuff doesn't get a rise out of me. I'd rather those scenes not have been in the film at all; they have no major narrative significance and are there just to bring it into horror territory. Alas.

It inadvertently gave me a new idea for something to write, though ;D

All those things could have been done a lot more subtly than garish, over-conceptualized dream sequences :P

Film got me thinking though about how you properly humanize someone so monstrous, and made me inadvertantly flashback to a passage I read in a review about a Jeffrey Dahmer documentary:

QuotePamela Bass, Dahmer's neighbor in the Oxford Apartments, befriended him initially because she felt sorry for this evidently shy and lonely man, and wondered why he had moved into a building full of black people. When police showed up that night in July, she assumed at first that Dahmer had been the victim of a crime, or been set up to take the fall for someone else. Later, she was forced to wonder what had been in the sandwiches he occasionally made her. Her sofa had previously been Dahmer's, and for a while serial-killer cultists would pay her as much as $50 to come sit on it. A few years later, after the apartment building had been demolished, Bass was in prison for a drug offense when she heard that Dahmer was dead. Other inmates cheered; she went to her cell and cried.

Something very powerful there. There's a story in something like that.

Absolutely adore that movie.
To me the core is the danger of ignorance.

It's success made me question my ideas on how people identify with a protagonist.
And it made me question myself based on what characters on my dvd-shelf I identify with.
Identification with Pauline even had me wonder how potentially endangered/dangerous at some point in my youth I maybe was myself.

Deadfall (2012)

After a casino heist, a brother (Eric Bana) and his sister (Olivia Wilde) find themselves stranded in the wilderness when their car crashes. They decide to split up and later meet at a rendezvous point. I liked this quite a bit actually. It's not as good as it could have been. There was some wasted potential, but both Bana and Wilde delivered strong performances. There's this incestuous undertone between both characters throughout the movie. Bana's character does go a bit over the top during the dinner scene, but I didn't mind it. The film also captures the bleak harsh wilderness well. I felt cold just looking at it. A pretty decent neo-noir/western I thought.

I identified with her as well, but that's not something you have to be worried about -- it just means you have basic human empathy, and can understand how someone like that could end up doing the things they do.

Spoiler
I kind of think a better ending would be that it turns out the surgery worked, and her sister is now saved, and she proved to her mother that she was "worthy"... but that other girl is dead and now she is going to rot in jail the rest of her life.

If you haven't, you should see Assault on Dome 4.

It's a DTV sci-fi Die Hard clone from the 90s, with Bruce as an insane criminal who takes over a science complex on some distant planet. There's your fix.

Jurassic Park 3D

What is there to be said? I love this movie as usual but there was added goodness because it was my first time seeing it on the big screen.

I believe this is probably my first 'true' 3D experience, with the glasses and all. I've worn the "blue and red" a few times in the past but it didn't feel 3D, I felt like I was seeing blue and red, but these newer glasses are a huge improvement. Anyway, the 3D really added in a good way to my big screen (and I mean BIG) experience.

Things I learned from watching Tyler Perry's Temptation:

- He can't write for shit.
- He lives vicariously through sassy characters and mentions of fashion.
- He handles topics such as relationships, cheating, physical abuse and HIV with a shocking level of immaturity.
- He can't keep his preachy Christian values out of his films.
- You can see "twists" coming from miles away.
- The lead actress has at least 20 "strokes."
- A smart woman would cheat on her funny, charming, hunky husband who values her and treats her with respect... with a smug average asshole.
- He loves selecting songs to further hammer his story into viewers.
- The film randomly turns into a sitcom with zero warning, leaving the viewer feeling more uncomfortable than any of the film's "darker" scenes.
- Vanessa Williams' French accent is one of the worst accents I've heard in film.
- The film takes place in Washington D.C. You will be reminded of this a few times. It doesn't serve the story in any way but just let it be known that it takes place there.

1/10 for being trashy and unintentionally hilarious. But quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen.

Jurassic Park 3D

I really can say that, without looking through rose-tinted Nostalgia Edition glasses (3D ones, actually), that this is just one of the best made movies in existence. Just... a goddamn masterpiece in just about every regard with memorable characters and performances and a level of science fiction-based metaphysical discussions that seem to deepen every time I watch it, along with my appreciation for the film... and don't even get me started on the visual effects-- flawless. This big screen watch wasn't just a mind-blowing nostalgia trip, but a watch that would further my appreciation for the film onto a whole new tier; and that's saying a lot considering it positively lead my childhood and fantasies, even forming me as a person as few films can manage.

I'm not even sure what else to say aside from the fact that the 3D post-conversion is a flawless and non-flashy presentation that adds a wonderful window-like level of depth to the movie. The scene where Grant, Ellie, and the rest first encounter the Brachiosaurus send shivers down my spine and chilled my forearms... the reactions from the actors really grabbed me this time; Grant's dizzied disbelief, Ellie's awe, and Hammond's pride were all played beautifully-- even the critical Malcolm can't help but smile and chuckle in bewildered amusement. That's how you sell seeing a creature of extraordinary grace and size that has been extinct for 65 million years. When the score reached that peak as Grant looked out over the valley after Hammond's famous "Welcome to Jurassic Park!", I was nearly in tears. And it didn't stop there, the T-rex Paddock attack scene had my breathless the entire time and smiling like an idiot by the end; I can't imagine I found the time to blink.

I wish I could go on and on about this, but I've gotta find a stopping point somewhere; we've all seen and love the movie. I plead everybody to see this while it lasts in theaters. I rarely use the word "treat" as a descriptive term for a film, but that's exactly what this experience was.

Zero Dark Thirty
I didn't get a chance to see it on the big screen, unfortunately.  However, I loved it.  I appreciated the slower, yet methodical pace as the UBL team (personified by Jessica Chastain's Maya) put together the pieces of the puzzle, in order to find the most elusive and wanted man in the world.  I loved how it didn't "dumb" anything down to the audience, and there was little to no exposition.  I thought the actual assault on UBL's compound was riveting.

Spoiler
Finally, I was really moved by the haunting last shot with Maya, as she realizes the entire "raison d'etre" and motivation of her adult life has been taken away.  We realize that she does not quite know (yet) how to deal with the enormity of this "loss" of purpose.  I am reminded of the deep depression that many of the Apollo astronauts experienced after they returned home.

Notice how the backdrop behind her not-so-subtly looks like the American flag and the final shot takes on an even more disquieting subtext.

The way that ending is written in the script and the way Bigelow changed it are very telling. People who think the film is some mindless propaganda film are way off base.

Hi Cvalda, I will have to watch that seen again...I hadn't noticed that. 

Spoiler
I imagine the last scene could be interpreted many ways.  I suspect many might think she starts crying because she is reflecting and remembering all the friends she lost in the hunt for UBL.  But, I interpreted her behavior as a more subtle, complex reaction to her realization that her entire adult life has been devoted to a singular purpose...and now that purpose has been fullfilled, she suddenly feels completely rudderless and, at the moment, has no idea how to process this new situation.  It is almost like a grieving process.

And I agree, I in no way found the film to be some type of "feel good" rah rah propaganda piece.  I think it was very fair and even-handed, and in fact explored complicated issues with open, neutral brush-strokes...particularly the grey areas of interrogation techniques, and their ultimate efficacy (not to mention morality).

So, in summary, I found it to be a very powerful film.

Mama (2013)

Having gone missing five years ago, two young girls are found in a remote cabin in the woods and brought back to civilization. They are  placed in the care of their uncle, Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend Annabel (Jessica Chastain). But it soon becomes obvious that the girls brought something with them from the woods, something or someone that took care of them during those five years. Mama.

This was pretty good actually. I'm gonna go right on ahead and say that the only scares came from the typical jump scares, but the story itself was good enough for me to overlook that. Some of the best moments actually came from when Chastain's character tried to establish an emotional connection with the girls. The right feeling of dredd and suspense was there as well and the music wasn't too bad. I think that Nikolaj could have been given more to do, as it was now, it was more or less Chastain's show entirely. Not a bad thing really, as she was very good in this (and boy did she rock that new look). The girls that played Victoria and Lilly were not bad either.

When it comes to Mama...

Spoiler
I was hoping and expecting something more of a creature from the woods, not a ghost.

Nope, honest mistake.  It's Saturday, and after a few pints, I probably mixed her first name up with Jennifer Lawrence...another gal' who seems to be in just about everything lately.

Mind you, this is not a complaint, as I do not dislike any of these actors/actresses (yes, even "The Rock" has his charm and charisma, and is, IMHO, a more naturally gifted actor, as compared to Arnie).

The Verdict

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Apr 07, 2013, 01:48:43 AM
Jurassic Park (1993)

This is a deeply, deeply stupid movie.

Things I learned from Jurassic Park:
-- When executing a fragrantly illegal, high-risk corporate heist, don't bother to cover your tracks. In fact, make it as blatantly obvious as possible and leave a clearly marked trail of evidence linking you to the crime: a taunting hacker screen, a complete shut down of the island. Hell, when stealing the priceless dinosaur embryos, don't bother to replace them with dummy capsules -- you want them to obviously have been stolen. After all, your ultimate goal is to get sent to prison and have an investigation launched against your new corporate benefactor as soon as possible.

-- A Tyrannosaurus has just broken through a fence and is hunting right next to the car you are otherwise safely protected in. The obvious thing to do is to dig through the car for no reason, find a high-powered flashlight, turn it on, and then wave it around crazily to attract the dinosaur. When it comes over to investigate, shine the light directly into its eyeball. Then, when you can't turn it off (but could turn it on?), don't just put it under the seat or something, make sure you wave it around some more so that a tense attack sequence can occur.

-- T-Rex's visual sense is based on movement. Don't ask questions, Dr. Grant said it so obviously it's true. Not only that, though, but their sense of smell is also probably based on movement, too, because they can get so close to you that their breath can knock your hat off without them detecting your presence.

-- But don't think that T-Rex is completely lame just yet -- he can fly. Or at least levitate, considering his pen is actually a deep, abyssal drop as far as the eye can see in both directions. Raptors can also levitate -- one proudly shoves its head up through a ten foot ceiling grate as our characters kick away at it, but has to take a flying leap after its fallen just to miss a leg dangling above it.

-- After you have plummeted down that drop where the T-Rex magically tore his way through, do not stay put -- that would be the sane, rational thing to do. After all, Laura Dern and that hunter guy are on their way to rescue you. No, go for a midnight stroll through the dinosaur infested woods and put yourself both in harms way and out of reach of rescue.

-- If you are a thirteen year old girl who is also a hacker, conveniently state this fact in the most awkwardly transparent way possible to telegraph to the audience that your skills will come in handy later.

-- When engineering dinosaurs so that they are all females and don't breed, do not bother to look into the very specific species of sex changing amphibian you use to fill the gene sequence gaps.

-- When outfitting the security for your dinosaur-surrounded compound on an island prone to hurricanes and power outages, make sure all your door locks are electric, and under no condition should you allow for manual locking. That would be practical.

-- When a velociraptor is trying to get through the door to eat you, and your thirteen year old hacker sister is navigating a ludicrous computer interface that controls the whole park with relative speed and ease, you should just dance around with your hands on your head. Laura Dern is over in the corner trying to reach a gun -- DO NOT HELP HER. She won't think to ask anyway.

But then again, as Laura Dern herself says in the film, "You can't think through this one. You have to feel it." Yes, this is a typical David Koepp Idiot Plot, but it's directed with so much muscular craftsmanship and is filled with such wonderful performances, all capped with a magisterial John Williams score, that you don't really care. The visual effects, barring the CGI brachiosaur scenes, have aged beautifully, and Stan Winston's animatronics are so real you don't even bother to roll your eyes over the shocking paleontological research failures. The best scene in the film is still one of its most simple: the group comes across a sick triceratops lying in a field, and Sam Neill rests his head on her heaving flank in absolute wonder.

Evil Dead (2013)

You know what, I actually really liked this. It was very, very gory (even more so than the originals) and had me creeped out quite a few times. Some of the jump scares were actually really effective as well. Oh and there was some really dark humor in this. Like,
Spoiler
the chick who starts cutting on her face. When her boyfriend finds her, he slips on her cheek and hits his head on the toilet.

The film did a good job paying tribute to what came before it without ever jumping the shark and being too in-your-face with its references. My favorite homage had to be
Spoiler
that one of the pages in the Book of the Dead looked almost exactly like this (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQnNXgRQXD-3cLaIeLMAT-0aR33wO0I9xchJwvOX-wfY-yoPI8N_w) poster from the original film.

The movie certainly wasn't perfect, and one thing in particular felt a bit odd
Spoiler
Mia's 'cleansing' by being buried alive
[close]
but like I said I actually really liked the movie.
Spoiler
The raining blood scene was every bit as awesome as it sounded, and there was some really great stuff involving a nail gun.
[close]
The characters weren't really anything special, but then again, aside from Ash, neither were the ones in Raimi's original The Evil Dead.

Unfortunately my friend that drove us there ran out of the theater as soon as the movie ended, so I didn't get to see the post-credits scene on the big screen. :( I just watched it now, though, and it got a chuckle out of me. So yeah, overall I quite enjoyed the movie. Its over-the-top, gory beyond belief, and has some cool homages to the original films. Is it as good as the originals? Well, I don't think I'd say so. But Raimi's films were really a product of their time have a life all of their own. Had The Evil Dead never been made and this Evil Dead remake been an original film, would I have been as kind to it? I don't know. It was interesting, but  I don't really want to compare the two for their content; I'd much rather accept this as an interesting love letter to the original movie.

Now Mr. Raimi, please go fetch Mr. Campbell and make Evil Dead IV/Army of Darkness 2. :P

Oh, one thing really pissed me off though. They pulled a Predators on us. Remember in the Predators trailers the prominently featured scene with Royce covered in the Predator laser pointers that was no where to be found in the film? The same applies to the "We're gonna get you..." scene in here. :-\

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

Some Trek film spoilers; so, if you somehow don't know how Wrath of Khan ended, and don't want to find out, don't read this.

I don't really know why the odd-numbered Trek films got the reputation of being the bad ones; this movie was fantastic, and also the first of the film series that felt like a true space opera. While I don't think it was as good as Wrath of Khan, it is a worthy successor, and continues the story in a wonderful way. Starting up a few days after the ending of the previous film, it deals with the aftermath of the Genesis project and the death of Spock. This had a perfect blend of fun and drama, and while not near as tense as Wrath, it was still an exciting ride, striking a good balance between the effects-driven plot of the first film, and the fantastic character-driven story of the second. It was great to see Christopher Lloyd as a Klingon, but unfortunately his character was severely underdeveloped, proving to be a fairly forgettable antagonist; a real step down from the likes of Khan Noonien Singh. The film also felt like it lost its way near the end of the second act, dipping in quality from the beginning. It gained it again in time for the final scene, though.

The score is also very very good.

Quote from: Vickers on Feb 05, 2013, 03:40:43 PM
Bachelorette

This was just a frustrating watch. At times I felt like it was a gem of a movie covered in filth.

Becky, who was really unpopular at school, is getting married and she asks her three friends, who were polar opposites in school, to be her bridesmaids. One could argue that in school Becky craved any kind of friendship, even if it was the abusive kind. But why she chose to hold on to these "friends" of hers for so long after school is beyond me.

So you can probably see where this is headed right? The girls are repulsed that 'pig face' is getting married before they are. So who are these lovely bridesmaids? Well they're all cokeheads - one is slutty, one is just naive and unintelligent and the other is in a great career and has a competitive streak but I never did figure out why she's so miserable aside from the fact Becky got proposed to first.

Kirsten Dunst plays her role perfectly. Even though she's just generally miserable, it seems that there's a sincere caring person underneath that wants to change her ways and how she treats people. That is more down to her performance than the script though. But that being said, basically all the characters are unlikeable. Even the bride becomes unlikeable when you start questioning why she has friends like these and when she throws diva-like tantrums as she's preparing for her wedding.

At times it feels like it's a darker, more uncomfortable version of Bridesmaids. But yet it's nowhere near the quality of Bridesmaids.

Manhunter/Silence Of The Lambs - 10/10

Yeah, all the buzz about the Hannibal series premiered last week, made me re-watch these classics and by far best films in the Hannibal canon. Outstanding crime thrillers. Silence might have the strongest performances, while Manhunter gives you the best inside look (although heavily stylized courtesy Michael Mann) of the bureau inner working of how serial killers are tracked down. Ted Levine's turn as Jame Gumb is often overlooked, considering how Hopkins and Fosters performances pretty much steal the show, but it is absolutely chilling. Same goes for Brian Cox as Hannibal in Manhunter. Some of my favorite movies. 8)

Anybody here have the Manhunter blu-ray? Is it worth the upgrade from dvd with regards to picture/audio quality?

Ok thx. Amazon.co.uk has both, but they're too expensive right now. The UK disc is almost twice the price of Silence Of The Lambs on blu-ray (£15), the US import a bit cheaper. I'm not paying that for a standard catalogue title with a decent transfer. :-\

^ Manhunter has always been my favorite Hannibal film. And yes, the US release is pretty solid all around. I owned it for a while before selling it to a friend.

Evil Dead (2013)

I just got back from seeing this, and much to my surprise ended up loving it. The story is pretty much the same. Some friends go to a creepy cabin in the woods and unleash demonic forces after reading a passage from the Book of the Dead. This was an absolute blood bath. Quite literally in some places; it should please gore fans. The tone and the film itself was much more terrifying than the original. I really liked what they were trying to do here. They were trying new things while not crapping on the original. They also could have ham-fisted homage after homage, but they didn't and I appreciated that. The shot of the rusted out Oldsmobile and the chainsaw was more than enough to make me happy.

And Eric had to be the film's pin cushion; getting stabbed by almost everything in the cabin. :laugh:
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Apr 09, 2013, 12:53:48 AM
Glad you liked it! :D

I will say, though, that there were a lot more homages than just the two you mentioned. They were just done in more subtle and interesting ways than one would expect. To name a few:

Spoiler
The necklace Mia's brother gave her was almost identical to the one Ash gave Linda in the original.

Mia wore a Michigan State sweatshirt.

"What happened to her eyes?"

One of the passages in the book looked almost exactly like the original film's poster.

Not so much an homage, but there was the irony of the book being unable to burn.

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

Starts out very strong, with a restrained tone, excellent dialogue and superb performances from Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon (her breakdown over the phone, admonishing her husband for encouraging both their sons -- both now dead -- to join the military is heartbreaking and a reminder of what a great actress she can be when she's actually given a role up to her skills), but after the first act it gradually gets too obvious and heavy-handed, the restraint becomes self-consciously mannered, and the Screenwriting 101 plotting grates. Charlize Theron is excellent, but miscast -- her cultivated yankee accent and poise is jarring set against the uniformly Texan dialects and sensibilities of the rest of the cast.

Dead Calm (1989)

Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill pick up Billy Zane who's a delirious survivor from a ship that's adrift in the middle of the Pacific. Everything seems to be going well until Zane comes out of the closet as a full on raging nut case. I wouldn't even call him terrifying in this. Just more of a zany kind of performance. For example after knocking Nicole Kidman out cold he starts dancing on the boat. There are quite a few unintentionally hilarious moments too. Like when both Neill & Kidman's child goes flying through a car windshield head first. Or their pet dog which can open doors. And last but not least, Zane's demise. I liked that this become Kidman's movie though. Sam Neill's character of John becomes trapped on the boat that Hughie (Zane) came from. So it's her against him. Suffice it to say, it was a fun and trashy hour and thirty minutes.

So I watched one of the most celebrated monster films last night and it's a difficult film for me to review. As much as I wanted to fall in love with it the way many have, I found the comedy a tad out of place at times and the abrupt changes in tone were perhaps a little too jarring at times for me. Some shots looked incredible, others looked dated.

What I really love about the film is that it had a lot of heart and I actually felt sympathy for the monster.

A strange mix at times and certainly not for everyone but I'd still recommend it to people who generally avoid monster films.

I don't even know how to describe this movie. Where the hell do I even start? You have terrible acting, terrible dialog, terrible music, and terrible f**king everything. You have freaking Cyborgs that are being used as killing machines all because the villains haven gotten them high on drugs...THAT is the actual f**king plot of this movie. Mutant Psycho-sexual killing machines become so, only because they are high on a drug called Euphorum or someshit.

The acting in this movie is atrocious, it almost makes me think that BIRDEMIC was trying to emulate this film's acting. Holy f**k is it stupidly bad. The fight scenes are by far some of the worst I have ever witnessed. Fights drag out with two characters dukeing  it out like drunk hobos fighting for an extra dollar,  supporting characters literally stand on the sidelines while fights happen, without ever lending a hand. They are both hilarious, and terribly shit-tastic.

Do no f**king see this movie, I don't care how much it might interest you, it's so f**king terrible. I have no idea what in the f**k was even going on, these actors are by far the worst I have seen on any screen. This is an abomination of horrendous proportions.

Combining a constantly engaging and consistent storyline and wondrously beautiful animation, it's an absolute anime revelation. Hell, the same can be said for animated films in general. It's strange, throughout even the greatest films, I find myself thinking ahead, wondering what the ultimate outcome would be, but in this, it never really passed my mind-- I was so captivated by what was unfolding before me, so utterly in love with the sensation it filled me with, that the endgame felt irrelevant until it eventually came.

And how did that go over? I finished the movie feeling completely uplifted. It's such a great, freeing experience to watch something like that with subject matter jumping from the darkly mature to the ludicrously playful that manages to land on a completely and utterly satisfying note, wrapping up the themes of self-realization, escapism, and freedom of mind. One moment toward the end was so rewarding, cool, and effectively 'crowd' pleasing that it left a smile on my face that I just could wipe off; I wanted to shout and cheer! I love it.

Shout out and special thanks to Vickers for recommending this delightful masterpiece.

^ Manhunter has always been my favorite Hannibal film. And yes, the US release is pretty solid all around. I owned it for a while before selling it to a friend.

Well, you know... I was browsing Amazon.co.uk for good offers and just realized that the UK Manhunter blu-ray comes with a directors commentary (and also both versions of the film)... a freaking Michael Mann commentary of my favorite film of his...!

Now I don't think I can wait for a price drop lol...

Legend: The Director's Cut (1985)

Ridley Scott's fantasy epic has finally found its way to Blu-ray. This has always been one of Scott's best looking films outside of Alien. The set design is just outstanding; whether it's the forest or the Lord of Darkness' dwellings. Scott also knows how to set the tone as well, making the forest scenes feel majestic and beautiful whilst the scenes in the Lord of Darkness' chambers are uncomfortable and reek of melancholy. Tim Curry is absolutely relishing the role as the LOD. He's one of the best things about the film. The make-up effects for his character are just wonderful. He really steals each scene he's in. Damn it's been so long since I've watched this movie, didn't realize I would have such a fun time experiencing it again.

Deepstar Six (1989)

This is basically the same movie as Leviathan -- a cut-rate 80s Alien clone -- except with worse acting and zero suspense. The miniatures are charming, though, and Greg Evigan is pretty unf-worthy going through the film in a wet tank top. :P

My girlfriend's been getting me into the Hannibal movies and i personally didn't like Silence Of The Lambs. Red Dragon has to be my favorite of the films. Dolarhyde is a level of crazy that to me goes beyond the other characters in the series. Hannibal is a great character, but he's classy-calculating-psychotic. Dolarhyde is unpredictable-ego-psychotic.

Tron: Legacy - My opinion has changed since I first saw it in 2010. I think it's alright and nothing special. I found myself more bored when watching this movie with each viewing. While CG is great to look at and the action scenes are enjoyable, the story is flat and I found myself caring less about any of the characters in the movie. 6/10

Killer Joe (2012)

William Friedkin directs this darkly comedic white trash epic based on the play of the same name by Tracy Letts. I liked this, maybe a little too much. In many ways it feels like the inbred cousin to The Paperboy. It's trash cinema with a bit of artistic integrity. The cast was superb. Thomas Haden Church, Juno Temple, Gina Gershon and Emile Hirsch totally sold me on playing desperate trailer park losers who get in far over their heads.

They come up with a scheme, that if they kill Chris' real mother they can collect a 50,000 dollar life insurance policy. They hire Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) a detective moonlighting as a hitman. McConaughey was very good in this. And I wouldn't consider myself a big fan of his work either. But here he's funny, sinister and mysterious all rolled into one. Creating a character you wouldn't necessarily want to f**k with. The final moments also take on an odd and deeply comedic tone. The movie couldn't have ended on a more outrageously perfect note.

Sadly there was no golden shower scene here. But McConaughey does force Gershon to suck off a piece of fried chicken as if it's his dick. So yeah, but movies have a sick sense of sexual deviance too. :laugh:

The Town That Dreaded Sundown

6.5/10

A horror film based in the 1940s, talking about a man who murdered a number of people, known as The Phantom Killer. This movie is based on actual events that occurred in the 1940s, these events are known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders. The entire movie is like something you would watch on TV, only because the narrator of the movie makes it seem as if you're watching one of those shows about murders that occurred long ago, so the whole movie feels like one giant re-enactment scene. Even the ending makes it clear by having the narrator tell you what happened to the characters years later. The movie starts off in the 70s just to tell you that something happened in the 40s, and then the movie takes you there and shows you the shit that went down.

The narrator always narrates after every transition of the film, or what I would like to call chapters, and once again gives it that TV show feel. Not sure if I'd recommend this movie to anyone, I only saw it just because of the cover image above. I enjoyed it, didn't feel like it dragged too much in any way, the movie IS short, but there's not a scene in the film where you just wish they would skip.


There's also theory going around, and I myself was thinking the same thing when watching the movie, that this guy could have been the Zodiac Killer years later.

PROMETHEUS was just on HBO a few days ago (I DVR'd it).

Now, some may accuse me of being a glutton for punishment.  However, this time I effected considerable, prophylactic precautions prior to sitting down and hitting "play".

My prophylactic countermeasures consisted of:

1)  Removal of any sharp or heavy objects within immediate reach, which might cause either personal injury...or be employed as a projectile against the perceived source of threat (i.e. television)

2)  Two hours of meditation combined with advanced relaxation techniques, consisting of:


3) 2 pints of Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA

4) Two fingers of Jameson

5) More Jameson

Alas, I regret to report that, despite these preemptive countermeasures, the subsequent viewing of Prometheus caused intense anxiety, nausea, cognitive impairment, dissociation and confusion, and irrational thoughts of violence towards consumer electronics.  Later came the full body rash, night sweats and convulsions.

Fortunately, my recovery is well underway, and the gastrointestinal bleeding has pretty much tapered off.

Demonlover (2002)

Bleak and nasty corporate espionage thriller about a group of cutthroat female company agents (lead by Connie Nielsen, Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon) battling for the distribution rights to a hideously misogynistic hentai company's new 3D rape videos. The labyrinthine plot gradually reveals something far more horrifying is at play -- a secret illegal website where men can pay to have women tortured and mutilated live on camera while dressed as their favorite video game/comic book characters. The plot synopsis alone set my imagination racing and had me dying to see this film -- alas, it's not the masterpiece I was hoping for (it's kind of a mess, and the Sonic Youth score is often as distracting as it is menacing and effective), but it's a chilly, vicious piece of satire that's fascinating and will reward repeat viewings I'm sure.

Prometheus

Yup. I can't help but to keep coming back to this. The movie is visually stunning, and (more importantly) I just find the themes that it explores and the questions that it asks to be fascinating, even if they are not exactly new to this movie.

I completely understand why people were disappointed with the Engineers' portrayal in this film. I realize that the script should have had another rewrite or two to mend a few problems that stick out like a sore thumb. I acknowledge that in the film's third act the pacing is a mess. But I don't care. I genuinely like this movie. Love is probably too strong a word, but its damn near close, warts and all.

Ya know, I was actually thinking of taking the blu-ray off the shelf and seeing if Prometheus has just been unfairly treated, and is actually some kind of secret gem full of wonderfully subtle filmmaking and clever screenwriting that just isn't obvious on first viewing. Or second. Or third.

The Earth Died Screaming

I half expected Rod Serling to show up five minutes in introducing the plot. After the first five minutes where everyone on Earth appears to be dead and the incredibly alluring title, the movie becomes an object lesson in how to make absolutely nothing of any interest happen for an hour despite the fact you're making a sci-fi movie called The Earth Dies Screaming.

Also, no-one dies screaming. At any point.

Vampyr (1932) - Well that was a disorienting film. It follows "nightmare logic" instead of typical narrative logic.. and indeed, dreams and nightmares play their part in the story. If you want normal characterization or "plot" look elsewhere as the film is just focused on piling up weird events on top of weird events and disorientating the viewer's expectations. The story goes that there was a riot during the first screenings of the film, as the audience demanded their money back. They literally just couldnt handle the weirdness at hand. :laugh:

Early in the film a man's shadow appears and roams a building till it sits next to it's sleeping owner. The way this simple effect is shot is just pure cinema magic :)

Beautiful and nightmarish. I suspect that it had a profound influence on David Lynch....

Some scenes and score from the film:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvXsP3lhIPw# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvXsP3lhIPw#)

Some scenes had to be cut before filming even began... a chase sequence involving a child and dogs controled by the vampyre was cut.. but dialogue remains that directly refers to it... somehow... this bit of dialogue without context just contributes even more to the weirdness of the film.  :laugh:

Legend: The Director's Cut (1985)

Ridley Scott's fantasy epic has finally found its way to Blu-ray. This has always been one of Scott's best looking films outside of Alien. The set design is just outstanding; whether it's the forest or the Lord of Darkness' dwellings. Scott also knows how to set the tone as well, making the forest scenes feel majestic and beautiful whilst the scenes in the Lord of Darkness' chambers are uncomfortable and reek of melancholy. Tim Curry is absolutely relishing the role as the LOD. He's one of the best things about the film. The make-up effects for his character are just wonderful. He really steals each scene he's in. Damn it's been so long since I've watched this movie, didn't realize I would have such a fun time experiencing it again.

I should be agreeing with you right now, but I think my copy got lost somewhere en route to the UK!

How's that for a first world problem?

Post by: TJ Doc on Apr 12, 2013, 05:55:40 PM
Yep, an order normally takes about two weeks max from there, but I've found Amazon's replacement policy hassle free in the past.

But it's still within the estimated delivery date deadline... so there's still hope!

I think both versions work. The original has an enormous emotional strength but so does the new 'noo' one; emphasizes the final rebellion of Vader.

I just got back from Jurassic Park 3D. I'm not going to lie, as much as I love this movie, I just never did make plans to go see this. But a few hours ago my dad randomly suggested it, and how could I pass up the opportunity?

Needless to say, I loved every minute of it. The music, the special effects, the awe of the whole experience. And the 3D was great too. I'm not particularly fond of 3D and haven't seen many movies in the format, but this was certainly the best use of 3D in a live action film I have ever seen. The T-Rex's initial appearance left my jaw hanging on the floor...

Lady Vengeance (2005)

Chan-wook Park delivers another intelligent and bleak film dealing with revenge, the last piece of his Revenge Trilogy. Turn your brain on and savour every moment of this unusual ride. It's too convoluted at times just for the sake of it though. And be warned, it's not for everyone. BTW, I enjoyed Old Boy more.

7.5/10


A very cleverly disguised parody of Science Fiction B-Movies from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This film presents us with a Comet that is finally returning to Earth after 65 million years, ready to bring havoc to Humanity as it did to the Dinosaurs. Pretty much what ends up happening is that most of Humanity is found dead as this comet passes by, and the survivors are left in two stages. One as semi-zombies that are fully functioning, but quickly deteriorating people. The rest are the lucky few who are immune to the conditions that the comet brought with it.

We follow two sisters, along with a male survivor that they meet along the way and figure out what to do with themselves. As this is happening, there's a secret underground base filled with scientists and armed security who are eavesdropping on this trio of survivors. To make a long story short, you get a film that parodies science fiction movies of old, you get plenty of action even though the pacing is a bit off. You get betrayal, humor, drama, etc. If you're a fan of Mary Woronov (Death Race 2000), and Catherine Mary Stewart (The Last Starfighter), then you should have no excuse to not see this movie.

Just watched "In Bruges" for probably the fourth time.  Man I love this film.  It is like a classic Coen Bros. movie, which (IMHO) is high friggin' praise. 

Carter Burwell is one of my favorite "contemporary" film composers...and his original work on this film (as well as with the Coen Bros) is amazing.  Nevertheless, I am always impressed when a Director / editor (and composer) select a non-original composition which, in hindsight, seems magically suited for a particular scene...such that you can't imagine the scene playing out any other way.

If you have seen "In Bruges", you know this scene:

Absentia (2011)

Micro-budget indie horror film ($70,000 raised through Kickstarter) with a fantastic premise: a woman reunites with her ex-junkie sister to declare her missing fiance legally dead -- until he returns out of the blue after seven years, claiming to have been kidnapped by insect-like monsters that live in a tunnel nearby. The film's lack of budget is painfully apparent, the detective characters are annoying, and the film's reliance on dumb dream sequences early on starts things off on the wrong foot, but there is a genuinely brilliant and memorable jump scare in the third act that's quickly followed by a climax of daring nastiness, all executed with admirable restraint. The script feels like a first draft, but a smart one, and favorably echoes both Vince Gilligan's famous X-Files ep "Folie A Deux" and Brendan Hood's infamously mishandled, excellent spec script for They.

And while I certainly appreciate Sam Mendes talents as a Director, I think I may be looking forward to "Skyfall" more for Roger Deakins contributions.

I will pop back in with my brief assesments, tomorrow night.

Goodnight AvPGalaxy friends!

The 300 Spartans and 300

Discussions over in the 300: Rise of an Empire thread made me decide to actually watch the movie. My brother described it as "Slow and historically accurate" when I asked what he thought, but with the caveat he only said "slow" because he saw it right after 300. I decided to reverse the process.

I was sort of surprised when I not only found I liked The 300 Spartans more than 300, but found it more entertaining -- which is a neat feat considering 300 is pure entertainment funtimes. I found letting the story spend time on the whole plot, rather than just trying to get to Thermopylae as soon as possible, made me give me that much more of a damn about what happened. The shots of dozens of extras swarming around trees to approach the Spartan frontline left far more of an impact than heavily processed CGI hordes, although the way the scenes were blocked felt pretty damn bland considering.

I'd like to see this and Zulu get modern, at-least-pretending-to-be-accurate remakes. 300 is a great watch, but the actual historical story is so much more interesting than what it boiled it down to.

Hi Cvalda...yeah, I am still up, for some reason.

I was old enough to remember (vividly) the Iran Hostage Crisis, and have memories of staying up late with my Dad, to watch what would soon become "Nightline" with Ted Koppel.  However, I must admit, I did not know the details behind the "Canadian Caper" (upon which the film is based) until perhaps 7-10years ago.  I seem to remember it being discussed in a book I read on either the CIA or NSA.  I do seem to recall thinking, at the time, that it would make for a crazy movie...perhaps directed by the Coen Bros.

The Coen Bros would have been a good fit for this story! Because at least then they'd have made it surreal and funny, instead of devoting a five minute montage scene to Ben Affleck drowning his sorrows in his hotel room, changing his shirt (gotta show off dem pecs), and looking sadly (sad for Affleck meaning blank faced) out a window while the music builds to an emotional crescendo that is painfully unreflected in his acting.

And that's not even getting into the shameless, insultingly obvious ways they try to "spice up" the already interesting true story with car chases, Body Snatchers-style crowd walking (complete with pod people Iranians pointing and shouting at the group), and a whole bunch of other stuff that didn't happen.

And I love how the film pats itself on the back during the end titles by showing how the actors looked so close to their real life counterparts...

...except it doesn't show Affleck, because his character was in real life a paunchy Hispanic man. Ha!

But I don't want to color your viewing with my biases ;D

Don't know what made me think of this...but I recently saw (again) "Galipolli" with Mel Gibson, directed by the great Peter Weir.
Friggin' awesome movie...despite the incongrous (IMHO) use of some electronic/synthesizer music by Jean Michel Jarre.

I've got reservations about Peter Weir, but no doubt he'd have made something that wasn't absolutely hideous to look at, and would have probably brought some actual depth to the story (if any could be found).

Amazing film, Cvalda.  Some people have a problem with Rose Perez (especially her voice), but I think she does a fine job.  Jeff Bridges is of course amazing...and Isabella Rossellini is, as always, luminous.  The film is loosely based on the famous Sioux City Iowa crash of United Airlines Flight 232.  The true events of that disaster, and the amazing heroism and skill by the pilots, would make for a great movie, in and of itself.  Peter Weir's film is more of a character study, and a poignant examination of "survivor guilt".

If Jean-Pierre Jeunet made a coming of age/coming out story, it might be something like this in execution. A bit overlong, but very well made and written, with strong performances all around, especially Danielle Proulx as the mother. And dat soundtrack.

Enjoyable Rockfest that can't quite determine the sexual orientation of its dunderhead target audience. Also, Michael Clarke Duncan will be sorely missed, I'd completely forgotten that Ralph Moeller played the chief henchman (clearly an ancestor of Brakus from Best of the Best 2), and Kelly Hu was riding that camel sans underwear...

Been a while sine I saw the movie, but were the pterodactyls practical or CGI? Because I thought that was the one really excellent scene in the movie.

But anyways, I had no problem at all with Johnston. He's a good director, and JPIII looked great (even if it barely resembled the island we saw in TLW). The problems with the movie lied in the script (and, to a slightly lesser extent, the acting). I would have had no problem if Johnston came back for JPIV.

7/10



Wasn't expecting all that much about this film, went in with no expectations since I left all my bias at the door and just went in with an open mind. Only reason this movie doesn't have a higher score is because I sat here on my couch, just going through the motions. I didn't feel the need to give a damn about any single character. The moments of drama dealing with death felt too forced on me, as if the whole mood was placed there to try and make me care about the drama that was happening right in front of my face. Now I'm not just saying that it's these parts that made me not score it higher. The entire movie felt like this the entire way. I just didn't feel anything while watching this, I just couldn't get into it like others have.

With that being said, I did think the movie did not suck at all, I didn't see it as being something that would be boring, not at all. It kept my interest enough for me to keep watching without distracting myself with something else. I'll definitely check out the sequel once it comes out, but that's only because I always feel obligated to completing anything that continues on.

Ilsa - Shewolf of the SS

70's Exploitation cinema at its finest. sick,bloody,dirty,sexual,insane. About the sadistically cool Ilsa a SS directess of Medical Camp 9 as she endulges herself on men but those that dont satisfy her get casterated..live. Alot of torture,people getting shot and some thrilling escape/try to escape scenes. Its not the best movie to watch but you wont be the same person after watching it. Like most cult expolitation cinema theres tons of shock value in it,campyness and the effects are surprisingly realistic for its time.

Based of actual events of human test subjects and playthings that the nazi's did to prisoners it can be alittle confronting at times.

I could post a trailer for it,but it might get me banned haha...so I'll just post the teaser. :P

3/10

Same. I tried to give it a new shot some time ago... and just quit 10 minutes into the flick. So badly written... it felt like a parody of the first film at times. The "dream" scene....  :-X No. just no. At least the Sayles script had likeable characters... this film?

The fact that some fanboys hate it due to the T-Rex dying is... funny as hell.  :laugh:

Spinosaurus and the raptor redesigns where the only good thing about the film :P

The second film kicked the velociraptor.
the third shat a cellphone.
The fourth will eat the cellphone again and kung fu kick the audience in the face.

Balto [1995]

Was confined to my bed today because my allergies were being worse this morning. Caught the beginning of it on the TV in my room. I haven't watched this movie in years, such a heart-warming tale.

Contact (1997)

We begin with a shot of Earth. Music blasting. As we zoom out, we hear broadcasts from the 80's, the 70's, the 60's, going back in time the farther out in space we get. And then... complete silence. This was one of the best openings I have ever seen and it had me hooked from the very start. We are then introduced to Jodi Foster's Ellie, a scientist with a strong conviction of extraterrestrial life. It doesn't take long before first contact is made and the show is on.

I'm not really sure how to feel about this, to be honest. I enjoyed the movie, but felt a bit lost when it comes to the message. Was it that faith is the only important thing, no matter what you choose to believe in?

I actually think I would have enjoyed this more, had it ended when the pod dropped.

Oblivion 6/10

This dystopian sci-fi looks and sounds pretty gorgeous, but I found the story to be lacking. It has segments that make you instantly think of Blade Runner, WALL-E, Moon, Independence Day, The Matrix Revolutions and others, in the sense that these story segments/scenes look like they were very inspired by these films. Thinking about the plot and certain 'reveals', some things just don't make much sense to me.

Andrea Riseborough impressed me the most as Jack Harper's team partner. Cruise looks a bit uninspired by his character (not much meat to stick your teeth into anyway). Nikolaj Coste-Waldau has a small but insignificant part. All in all the film has good intentions, but the story looses steam halfway through. My favorite part of the film might just be the score and sound mix.

The Hangover and Step Brothers were all right, but not exactly memorable. When it comes to comedy I'd much rather watch Ghostbusters or Army of Darkness or (GASP!) Tremors ;D

Except that opening dream sequence. She was very attractive there, and that scene was actually fairly well done.

And I don't particularly like zombies! They are a fascinating concept and all, but the best parts of a good zombie story should be the characters and the crumbling of society and the blurring of morality. I got none of that out of RE.

The Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, and World War Z (the book) are the only zombie related things I've seen/read that I genuinely care for.

OK, but zombies and ghosts are both unnatural 'creatures' or 'beings' that, while typically associated with the horror genre, can be used outside of that genre as well.

I wish Will Ferrell would make another good film like Stranger than Fiction.

Adam Sandler really surprised me when he starred in Rain Over Me. He actually did a damn good job acting.

Meh. Not a fan of Adam Sandler at all. I can tolerate his rom-coms with Drew Barrymore but that's about it.

He was serious in this one though. He played a grieving husband and father.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Goddamn, this movie is really goddamn stupid, but in the best possible way. Witty, hilarious, and completely self-aware of how inherently silly it is, it's just a helluva lotta fun to watch. The silliness does undermine some of the more serious moments from Search for Spock, unfortunately, but not too badly.

A good, fun movie.

It also contains the greatest comeback in cinematic history:

I had Dark City sitting on my Sky box for months. Finally I decided to get it over with and started watching it, painfully and fidgettingly made it through five minutes, then decided there was too much light on the screen to make such a dark film watchable and deleted it from the drive.

Not my finest moment, got to admit.

It's not as if Dark City's plot was actually original anyway.

cough cough Grant Morrison's The Invisibles cough cough...

But anyway the matrix was already in production when dark city was released. so. there.

Pointing out similarities in plot with another film is very frequently just a poor, fragile criticism. Were I to say movies that 'borrow' some plot elements from other, less known films, I would gun down some great pieces of cinema.

I think The Matrix is great, regardless of how many elements it shares with Dark City.

And Fistfull of Dollars is a rip off of Yojimbo (which in turn is a rip off of an american book).

And Alien lifts it's basic plot from "It! The terror from beyond space" with a bit from Planet of the Vampires...

Of course, the execution and the "details" are what set them apart and made them memorable ;) "It!" Is just a camp classic nowadays... Alien... doesnt need defense.  ;)

What ShadowPred said. For what it was, it was f**king awesome. Groovy 80's sci-fi with some hilarious softcore porn moments, rockin' visuals, sweet visuals, stylish editing, and oh my lord were there some foxy space ladies.

Some of the visual style even felt ahead of its time with some higly memorable shots, particularly in the hallways:

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgyazo.com%2Fc16614f0b9c0456230cda57637ac303d.png&hash=515ca0e4d55d69c9c5b7deb1a1987d73138a5f91) (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgyazo.com%2F25fe283fef68a58c003923dd026f25d7.png%3F1366368918&hash=557339c8e476165a14e1a5af93e942eeb013d794)

Me and ShadowPred seriously bonded watching this movie; our love of old school sci-fi and these kinds of low budget 80's flicks, and growing attatchments to the smallest qualities of characters (RIP Brian (http://gyazo.com/003ffc8d8f07907bad1eabd6a30b42ff.png?1366365480), Doc, and SAM :'c) just had us bouncing off the walls the whole time. And then for about an hour afterward I started re-scoring it with options from my iTunes library and it worked ridiculously well every time.  :laugh: -- Expect YouTube videos.

If any of that stuff sounds appealing to you, I urge you to check this out. Me and ShadowPred will likely stream it again... it was just so much fun.

Enjoyed it a little more this time around although I'm still a little confused about the significance behind the statue seen twice in the film. At one point in the film it's missing a head and at another point it's intact. Is that meant to be open to interpretation or am I missing something obvious?

It's open to interpretation.

If you look closely, all the statues in the film, up to the flash at the ending, are beheaded -- the babies, the one we see when Ash is taking the train home, the statue on the wall of Ruins C66. Ash flashes back to the baby statue before firing on the Ghost, but this time it has a head.

I wasn't expecting to actually give a damn about the story being presented because I didn't think there was any way for this movie to be as good as the book, but it came fairly close to it. The third act is balls to walls madness, I f**king loved the madness that was happening, and those fight scenes are just crazy. Love the f**king sets, the costume design for the Morlocks, everything worked out fine as f**k.

He also dislikes the premise of the Hannibal TV series, which you think is good, but which would mean it is actually bad. :o

Alright, 10 and a half minutes in to Top of the Lake and a guy delivers one of the funniest lines I've heard in a while.

"Why is that raccoon walking away from me?"
Cut to the gangly grey haired woman slinking through the long grass.

Jurassic Park 3D

Went to this with my brother and grandfather.

Amazing. Words cannot describe how much I simply love this film. This was my first time seeing it on the big screen, and my gods, it was magical. Despite the countless times I've seen this movie, despite the fact I can say almost every line as it happens, despite the fact that I know it better than the back of my hand, it was still immensely powerful. I was tearing up at moments, a rush of childhood joy and nostalgia, as well as simple wonder at the superb spectacle that was unfolding before me. It was a beautiful experience.

The 3D was also some of the best I've seen in any movie (possibly the best), which was quite surprising considering the fact this was a conversion. I find with most 3D movies, my eyes feel funny, and it winds up being a distraction; here, though, it was a seamless blend, pulling me into the film more and making it feel just that much more real. This was the first time that 3D has ever done that. (Although, there were a few shots that looked kinda shitty in the conversion; like a bunch of paper cutouts in a diorama. But most was astounding.)

This was one of the greatest theatrical experiences I've ever had the pleasure to view.

Prometheus [2012]

First time seeing this, ever. I wanted to go see it, but never got around to it. Had to stop an hour into it 'cause my brother kept asking me questions about it. And I wasn't gonna stay up all night 'cause my brother had a FFA State Conference to go to in the morning. He'll be gone three days, so I'll finish Prometheus then. I tell you guys what, I do not like that Vickers chick, and David is too adorable to hate. :3

7/10


NOTE: Sweeps and I saw this movie together, once again we laughed, we cried, we edited the soundtrack...glorious night to the point where we slept until 5AM this morning.


This is a film where a 12 year old man volunteers for a suicide mission in order to save his homeworld of Akir from the maniacal tyrant known as SADOR! He finds himself with a woman torso body for a ship called Nell who is one of the best characters in this movie, basically trash-talking our hero 12 year old man all the way through. During the 12 year old man's travels, he encounters a giant space station occupied by a disembodied head machine and his daughter who is the only known human on a space station occupied by a bunch of androids doing all sorts of work. 12 year old man asks for help, but the machine head man tells him "NO, YOU GONNA BANG MY DAUGHTER AND BREED PEOPLE TO LIVE IN THIS GIANT SPACE STATION" 12 year old man believes this is f**king insane and gets the f**k out before the daughter decides to follow him the hell out of there.

As 12 year old man continues his journey, he encounters Texas Joe, a Texan from outer space who is basically Han Solo's dad. 12-man helps out Texas Joe, and he joins his cause. Along the way 12-Man also encounters a bunch of robed nice-guy Borgs from Star Trek who basically roofie him and date rape him (open to interpretation), and so they too join his cause. 12-Man still needs to get more people to help him battle Sador, so he winds up in some unknown place that is filled with DIAL-A-DRUG machines that reveal mummified space strippers. This is also the same place where 12-Man finds himself face to face with the original Shadow Broker from Mass Effect. He has been in hiding since he was presumed "dead" in Mass Effect 2, and basically joins the 12-Man's cause, only because he wants a "warm meal and a place to hide", seeing as how this is the best option the Shadow Broker can see since he is wanted by the entire f**king Galaxy for god knows how many crimes, he takes the offer of helping out 12-Man.

Beheaded Machine Daughter is seemingly lost and is captured by Gorn, also from Star Trek, along with a He-Man reject from Eternia as his body guard, and two midgets from the alien race that tried to eat people in the Twilight Zone...for some reasons they communicate by heat and are later used as a camp-fire near the end of the movie. Beheaded-machine daughter tells Gorn that she is trying to fight Sador. Gorn becomes her friend after hearing this because he too despises Sador more than anything. By extension he and Eternian reject, along with Midget Space Chefs, joing 12-Man's cause.

12-Man then finds himself face to face with She-Ra. She is f**king insane, and downright balls to the wall f**ked in the head. She basically likes to bang, and kill evil space bastards. Possibly because Hordak wiped out her entire world, and She-Ra has been left mentally insane. She f**ks around with 12-Man (not sexually) and joins his cause to fight Sador. All 7 badasses finally meet up in Akir, they are sort of welcomes before being given a name, instead of Seven Samurai in Space, or Guardians of The Galaxy, they are called THE DEFENDERS OF AKIR! They soon begin preparations to fight off Sador and his batshit insane group of leper-people who somehow look like pigs, but aren't due to me not seeing one of them correctly.

And to end my review, I will leave with a VERY APPROPRIATE track that completely fits this movie...if anything, Mass Effect 2 ripped this movie off. Also..because uh...this movie came first...even the the font of its text was ripped for the ME games.

As 12 year old man continues his journey, he encounters Texas Joe, a Texan from outer space who is basically Han Solo's dad. 12-man helps out Texas Joe, and he joins his cause. Along the way 12-Man also encounters a bunch of robed nice-guy Borgs from Star Trek who basically roofie him and date rape him (open to interpretation), and so they too join his cause. 12-Man still needs to get more people to help him battle Sador, so he winds up in some unknown place that is filled with DIAL-A-DRUG machines that reveal mummified space strippers. This is also the same place where 12-Man finds himself face to face with the original Shadow Broker from Mass Effect. He has been in hiding since he was presumed "dead" in Mass Effect 2, and basically joins the 12-Man's cause, only because he wants a "warm meal and a place to hide", seeing as how this is the best option the Shadow Broker can see since he is wanted by the entire f**king Galaxy for god knows how many crimes, he takes the offer of helping out 12-Man.

Beheaded Machine Daughter is seemingly lost and is captured by Gorn, also from Star Trek, along with a He-Man reject from Eternia as his body guard, and two midgets from the alien race that tried to eat people in the Twilight Zone...for some reasons they communicate by heat and are later used as a camp-fire near the end of the movie. Beheaded-machine daughter tells Gorn that she is trying to fight Sador. Gorn becomes her friend after hearing this because he too despises Sador more than anything. By extension he and Eternian reject, along with Midget Space Chefs, joing 12-Man's cause.

12-Man then finds himself face to face with She-Ra. She is f**king insane, and downright balls to the wall f**ked in the head. She basically likes to bang, and kill evil space bastards. Possibly because Hordak wiped out her entire world, and She-Ra has been left mentally insane. She f**ks around with 12-Man (not sexually) and joins his cause to fight Sador. All 7 badasses finally meet up in Akir, they are sort of welcomes before being given a name, instead of Seven Samurai in Space, or Guardians of The Galaxy, they are called THE DEFENDERS OF AKIR! They soon begin preparations to fight off Sador and his batshit insane group of leper-people who somehow look like pigs, but aren't due to me not seeing one of them correctly.

And to end my review, I will leave with a VERY APPROPRIATE track that completely fits this movie...if anything, Mass Effect 2 ripped this movie off. Also..because uh...this movie came first...even the the font of its text was ripped for the ME games.

Lords of Salem (2013)

If you ever wanted to see an aged, nude, filth-encrusted Meg Foster cradle a multi-tentacled newborn abomination to her breast, this is the movie for you. Rob Zombie's latest is a self-consciously garish pastiche of Kubrick's The Shining (those intertitles!), Carpenter's The Fog and Rosemary's Baby, combined with the hallucinatory nightmare tableaus of Von Trier's Antichrist -- and while it doesn't quite rise to the level of those seminal works, it's still a beautifully executed horror throwback (barring a few goofy lapses into silly heavy metal imagery) that is destined for cult veneration in the years to come. And what a cast! Judy Geeson, Patricia Quinn (Magenta herself!), Dee Wallace (turning her saintly 80s everymom image on its head and clearly have a good time doing it) as a trio of suspicious land lady gal pals to be-dreaded Sheri Moon Zombie's Salem radio DJ (a fine, sympathetic performance being unfairly trashed by critics), while character actor vets Bruce Davison, Ken Foree and Maria Conchita Alonso (guess Zombie's a Predator 2 fan as well) all get welcome screentime, but the truly inspired bit of casting is Foster as the coven priestess Margaret Morgan; her naked (literally), hissing, monstrous performance is probably the best thing she's ever done.

Sci-fy  ::). What a stupid marketing gimmick that was. That channel really would be cool if it became the tv land of science fiction. Playing reruns of shows like star trek, lost in space, etc. The only thing I watch on there now is the twilight zone.

Dune and Children of Dune is their best acheivement.

The Place Beyond the Pines

A criminal's horror story.

Bleak, shocking, and unflinchingly tense look at small time crime and how majorly it effects people-- most importantly and central to this story, family. Literally had me shifting uncomfortably in my seat. From the trailer, it sets you up for one thing, but when you actually see it, you notice how wonderfully misleading the trailer actually is. Brilliant, absorbing, and beautiful filmmaking.

Oblivion (2013)

I thought this was pretty good. The movie could have been better in many places but I thought Joseph Kosinski did a pretty damn good job. The film is based on his unpublished graphic novel of the same name. Kosinski paints a beautiful canvas with the camera. The movie looks good, very good. Backed by the beautiful visuals is a very impressive soundtrack. Where the movie fails is the story. Whilst it starts off good, it tends to get bogged down. I thought the twist regarding Jack was interesting. Those who have seen Moon or even 2001 will immediately recognize various influences Kosinski pulls from those movies.

Terribly derptastic, it was so bad that after the movie was over; my friend and I sat there quietly for 10 minutes before we went to go play video games - in silence as well. As far as I'm concerned; did they really have to make an "evil" Carlos? That there hurt my heart...

Patlabor the Movie (1989)

Somewhere in tone between the lighthearted action fare of the original OVA and the grim future-noir of the second and third films that follow, Mamoru Oshii's first Patlabor movie is a smart, typically complex piece of auteur science fiction, a slow burn that gradually builds to a thrilling epic-scale climax aboard a gigantic oceanic construction platform in the middle of a typhoon. An excellent start to a fantastic, under-appreciated trilogy.

8/10

Yup, the film was heavily inspired by The Evil Dead.

And its not just Deadites. The Angry Molesting Tree was written on the board as well, and it made an appearance during the initial wave of monsters coming out of the elevators.

Oblivion (2013)

I thought this was pretty good. The movie could have been better in many places but I thought Joseph Kosinski did a pretty damn good job. The film is based on his unpublished graphic novel of the same name. Kosinski paints a beautiful canvas with the camera. The movie looks good, very good. Backed by the beautiful visuals is a very impressive soundtrack. Where the movie fails is the story. Whilst it starts off good, it tends to get bogged down. I thought the twist regarding Jack was interesting. Those who have seen Moon or even 2001 will immediately recognize various influences Kosinski pulls from those movies.

GOJIIIIIIIRa!

8/10 - Tokyo's destruction is chilling to watch at times and knowing that this was made so soon after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.. well. It's easy to understand why it struck a chord with japanese audiences. The human drama could have used a rewrite.. didnt care for the slight romantic elements in there but i dug the mistery surrounding Serizawa's weapon and the drama (as silly as the Oxygeno Desturoyah! was.) they built surrounding it...  I wish Yamane was given a lot more to do.. as Emiko and Ogata werent the most interest characters in there. But overall everybody was likeable and it was very easy to relate to their plight despite how out there the concept of a giant monster destroying a city is. Roger Ebert's review that "this is a bad movie" proved how clueless he could be at times. Surely "Knowing" and "Prometheus" were more worthy of their glowing 4 star reviews... eh.

and now to watch the 90's Gamera trilogy...  :P

Storage 24

Noel Clarke and friends must contend with relationship dilemmas and the vagina dentata-faced entity from beyond the stars that stalks them through the very long and grey corridors of the titular storage warehouse.

The script's pretty junky (save for one character twist), but it's competently executed with good creature effects (dude in a suit complimented by CG finishing touches) and some surprising gore.

Good fun in the 80s Alien ripoff mould.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

So far, on this watch-through of the film series, this is the worst film of the bunch. It had it's moments, and there was enough here to come close to greatness, but the final product was a mess. Still, I didn't hate it, and it wasn't hard to sit through, just wasn't up to snuff. The chemistry amongst the cast was still a helluva lotta fun to watch, though; some of the most enjoyable scenes were just the good ol' crew talking.

Overall, though, a pretty weak film; with a more refined script and a more experienced director, this could've been something wonderful.

Attack the Block

Back when this was released in cinemas -- my country got it late, as usual -- it lasted about 3 days before it was brought down, at least in my area. I didn't get a chance to see it -- I kind of regretted it.

After seeing it, I don't anymore.

I really wanted to love this film, but a number of reasons actually kept me from doing so; first, I would say that the biggest issue I have with it are the characters. Why the hell should I sympathize with a group of c**theaded teenage muggers with a liking for weed?

Never once the film succeeds in posing them as actually sympathetic -- and when it does try, it immediately goes backwards. That is until the very end, when the main gang guy gets to redeem himself, but that is barely enough! I cheered every single time one of them bit the dust.

The only character I actually cared for was the nurse. I couldn't wait for everyone else to die, but alas, only some did. Of course.

Spectral Motion did the practical effects for this film, and designed the creatures. The Monsters were awesomely creative in their design, and were brought to the screen incredibly well. I loved the bioluminescent teeth. That said, they were barely threatening in their characterization; with the single female gone, the group of males would have been hardly a problem for the police force of the city.

To that add that the single individuals were disposed of far too easily, at least for my taste. I could kill one of those things with a house knife and a sheet and that's not exactly intimidating to think about. Those creatures definitely deserved a better movie to star in and a better characterization.

Regarding everything else, I liked the score and some of the photography. Don't think I'll watch this again though.

I haven't seen either of them, so I hope they're better than this pastiche.

And if they're not, well, I'm just gonna watch some actually good creature features like Outlander or The Host.

I still remember back when it was still not released around here -- we got it straight to dvd in 2009! -- and I just would watch clips online everyday. Ordering the DvD online was a real joy, and when I finally got to watch it all -- sublime.

Attack the Block

Back when this was released in cinemas -- my country got it late, as usual -- it lasted about 3 days before it was brought down, at least in my area. I didn't get a chance to see it -- I kind of regretted it.

After seeing it, I don't anymore.

I really wanted to love this film, but a number of reasons actually kept me from doing so; first, I would say that the biggest issue I have with it are the characters. Why the hell should I sympathize with a group of c**theaded teenage muggers with a liking for weed?

Never once the film succeeds in posing them as actually sympathetic -- and when it does try, it immediately goes backwards. That is until the very end, when the main gang guy gets to redeem himself, but that is barely enough! I cheered every single time one of them bit the dust.

The only character I actually cared for was the nurse. I couldn't wait for everyone else to die, but alas, only some did. Of course.

Spectral Motion did the practical effects for this film, and designed the creatures. The Monsters were awesomely creative in their design, and were brought to the screen incredibly well. I loved the bioluminescent teeth. That said, they were barely threatening in their characterization; with the single female gone, the group of males would have been hardly a problem for the police force of the city.

To that add that the single individuals were disposed of far too easily, at least for my taste. I could kill one of those things with a house knife and a sheet and that's not exactly intimidating to think about. Those creatures definitely deserved a better movie to star in and a better characterization.

Regarding everything else, I liked the score and some of the photography. Don't think I'll watch this again though.

I feel your pain, I stayed up one night where I couldn't fall asleep and saw that it was on. Decided to give it a look, needless to say, I wish I would've fallen asleep or watched Blade Runner instead which was also on at the time. :P

Snow White Happily Ever After (1993) - 3/10

I remember owning this at some point of my childhood and swiftly forgetting about it.  I watched it again a few years ago but still couldn't remember much of the movie.  Watched it again and now I realize why I can't remember much of it each time I watch it.  Its really terrible! Apparently the company went under after this movie because it was a flop.

The Rebuild saga blazes onward in Anno's world flipping master act. This is the world of Evangelion unlike anything that's been done before, boasting a new, clear and confident vision that brings our heroes and anti-heroes through endless strife and the most horrific of imaginable emotional confrontations. At times it's hard to watch for that reason, but the fact that an 'out' even exists, in all of its mysterious grandeur, shows us that this doesn't have to be the end... and it's already gone beyond the End that we've previously been met with.

This is much the story of two particular characters, Shinji and Kaworu than the others and while at times that can feel disappointing, to recognize the importance of the plot's gaze is essential to understanding where the Rebuild is going. For every time I crave more of Mistato's development or an appearance from Kaji, the look back toward Shinji and Kaworu is ultimately as fulfilling. Visually, the movie presents so much to analyze and merely take in, that I feel we'll have enough to puzzle over right up until 4.0-- Final. It's an absolute beauty, and to watch it in anything less than high definition is more than a disservice.

As if the startling premise wasn't enough of a radical change, the final 20 or so minutes takes Evangelion to unheard of heights and, in some cases, lows. These are the best kinds of each.

"Breaking the world is not difficult. But rebuilding it-- that isn't so easy."

We'll see.

Oh gawd why did I click that second spoiler... :'(


Evangelion 3.33

Well it's been a crazy few months waiting for this to finally be released with Blu-Ray quality, there's been arguing, there's been pissed of reactions, satisfied reactions, and all just plain around "wtf?" reactions to this. So where do I fall in all this? Starting here for those who are excited and plan to watch this the rest will be in spoilers so tread at your own risk since spoilers will be abound.

Spoiler
I liked it. I really liked this. The film has it's problems (every films does) the problem is that the movie has problems in the areas where Evangelion usually is at it's best which is the character development. We're brought literally into this new world 14 years after the events of Evangelion 2.22 and we just like Shinji want answers and we never get any, everybody just hates him and they don't even bother to tell him, they all just act like a bunch of passive aggressive teenagers. Now granted from what's shown later Shinji royally f**ked up so they have an excuse, but 14 years and they still haven't gotten over it? Oh well, I am not a writer. My biggest grip with the movie though, is it's short length, the initial release was only 96 minutes. That's two minutes shorter than 1.0's original release. Even with 10 minutes of added scenes I feel the movie could have used another extra 10 minutes, but it would probably feel like filler, which it does at time, but that's just a minor complaint, again nitpicking.

While the other characters development is to say the least "botched" (goddamn it, what did you do to Rei Anno...) the main focus of the movie is Shinji (with Kaworu being again a sort of hand reaching out to help) and his trying to cope with this new world where nothing is what it seems, and the film does a fantastic job of showing that. As it goes on it actually becomes harder and harder to watch as Shinji has horrible after horrible secret revealed to him, and that ending; let's just say you're either going to love it or you're going to hate, but if you don't like it unless you're a completionist you've probably gotten pissed enough at this point and have taken off the movie. It's a very soul crushing movie and this could lead to some more disappointment for people who were expecting a happier series after 2.22's ending, or expecting it to be Evangelion meets Gurren Lagann. However that is in my opinion the beauty of Evangelion as things get better everything else is falling apart. However it seems there may still be hope, but knowing this series it won't last long, however this again a Rebuild, so we'll see soon enough. Again this is a movie that has caused a huge split in the fanbase (very similar to Prometheus) so keep in mind you might not like it, while others will. So it's best to go into this on your own behalf and just forget everything you've heard to form your own thoughts on it as you watch it.

The last thing I really want to mention as the highest point for this film (imo) is the soundtrack, good lord none of the tracks felt boring, and they all fell perfectly into place, this elevated many scenes from just being badass to giving the film some of the largest sense of scope I have seen in a movie in a long time, look it up if you get the time you won't be disappointed.

Great review, man.

Some thoughts:
Spoiler
- I think the reaction that everybody gave Shiji was quite fitting; they've had 14 years to fester anger over some kid that destroyed all hope that they know of in the world to save one girl, disregarding everybody else-- he's basically maintained the status of a selfish harbinger of death to them, so upon his return, most can't even look at him. Mistato faces a certain amount of responsibility and therefore hypocrisy as she was rooting him onward at ground zero, telling him to do what makes him happy. Asuka, in classic fashion, doesn't hold back; Shinji should consider himself thankful for the thick layer of glass between them.

- I actually saw on Facebook that you were dissatisfied with Rei III's characterization in this, so I watched the movie intent of finding what was off about her, but I myself couldn't detect anything that felt out of place aside from what was intended. She had no memory of Shinji saving her, and returned no gratitude as, to her, it never happened. Toward the end she also had the introspective moment in which she acted against what felt like programmed orders. Perhaps it's her becoming more in-touch with who Rei Ayanami is and what it meant to be her previously, the kind of woman she was and what she would do-- leading to her choice to defy Gendo and ultimately eject her entry plug during the operation.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgyazo.com%2Fc3d4ad6d2425066be865abe9ea78fd66.png%3F1366851857&hash=27170f44afced8eed24af6a2320760b6b2db7b54)

Until this point she was basically just a version of Rei conditioned to do nothing but follow orders whereas previous incarnations seemed to be able to at least be impressioned upon-- that isn't to say it didn't begin when she was the massive, monstrous version of herself in Terminal Dogma. I really liked how she was done in this, and the frustrations I felt were those that were intended along with Shinji's.

- I too would be disappointed to find a certain group of people that grew a hatred for this movie purely because they had expected it to be a happier series and continue this onward; it doesn't seem to me that Anno ever had this planned, and he sums it all up in Fuyutsuki's line "Breaking the world is not difficult. But rebuilding it-- that isn't so easy." I can be told that Anno created Rebuild around this line entirely. I was speaking to Cal427eb on IM last night about what the title of the saga is really working toward and I had formulated that this could essentially be considered 'The Rebuild Project' as counter to The Instrumentality Project. Throwing the apocalypse at mankind, and have them come back from it, as opposed to throwing the apocalypse at mankind, and have them accept it. Even though in End of Evangelion, it was denied, the state the world was in is quite essentially the same as it is in 3.33; humanity still felt the effect of Instrumentality as they were reduced to LCL. It's said that they would reawakened from the Sea of LCL though, so mission accomplished in a very dark way-- as not to belittle the ending NGE. The goal of Rebuild sort of goes above and beyond EoE in the way that Instrumentality cannot commence in order for the Rebuild to work. That said, with SEELE gone, Instrumentality won't serve the same purpose, and with Gendo's modified vision of it... nobody really knows what is in store for the world.

- While we edge toward the nature of repetitions... Kaworu, upon noticing that he's been deceived by those that had deployed him, Gendo's orders in Rebuild, SEELE's in NGE, he accepts his death as necessary and how it must be after gaining Shinji's love and trust, and is decapitated. His role is to essentially gain Shinji's love and die, presenting Shinji with kindness as a last note. Kaworu seems conscious of all other times this has happened, in all of its variations (could just be one, or two, with the manga included as one of the timelines, NGE seemingly being the first), and has it carried over to his new experiences, yet always deceived in some way that can ruin whatever he has planned or ordered. Gendo foresaw that he would appeal to Shinji's desires as he is meant to, and halted Kaworu's plans once again, simultaneously advancing his own. SEELE's original intent is now completely wiped away. Kaworu is essentially a prophet with one spot that always blinds his vision-- Terminal Dogma.

A nice layer of symbolism serves this well:

Also,

Spoiler
A lot of the complaints that I heard from the people that didn't like Eva 3.33 was the way the characters treated Shinji right after he was rescued from the pod. They were saying that with a simple calm conversation that explains to Shinji what happened and why they were treating him like that, that the whole movie could have been avoided, and not caused another near Impact. Like Sweeper said though, to me it seems perfectly normal for them to act this way, because of how selfishly Shinji acted almost causing the end of the world(again).

Another complaint that I can relate with a little bit is how little character development there is in the movie besides Shinji and Kaworu. They really are the only ones that have any arc or development. Everybody else was cast aside in favor of these two characters, but again I didn't really mind. All of the other characters have been explored and developed in the other movies and NGE so in my opinion it would be a little repetitive to go over them again. Plus, Mari was reduced to some one liners throughout the entire movie which I was dissapointed with. Hopefully she gets to be an actual character in the movie or her whole existence would have been for nothing.

Woman on the right. What.

Same eyes, glasses, and hair colour as Mari. I'll take the Asuka-like hairstyle as coincidence. It's not a stretch to assume that these are Mari's parents on the right and that she was met with a similar fate to Yui and Kyoko Soryu. This may just be to give clarification that Mari's parents were in NERV and had mothers that had their souls absorbed into Evaohhhshit.

I just remembered that Mari was able to pilot Unit 02 without a hitch.

Yeah, she lacks the Angel related qualities like the white/blue hair and red eyes.

Oh, and some more shit? Asuka's last name being changed from Soryu to Shikinami in Rebuild, fitting with the theme that Mari also fits within for names that reference WWII warships, aaaand...

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgyazo.com%2F790622485a35f063e14bdef046c96d20.png%3F1366856660&hash=2cfd52d0298d94c92c02168ebcce6d94a7d21394)

I mean... what more? I'm assuming that merging them works out well because Asuka's Unit 02 had only half of her mother's soul, and if Mari's mother also was half-souled... or simply is the other part of the same soul... this is a true complete Evangelion, like Unit 01, and the umbilical cable can be overridden. Asuka, while she was always a better pilot than Shinji, was kind of screwed from the beginning as the real problem lied with the incomplete nature of her Evangelion, no matter the fact that it's the first one that wasn't a prototype or a test.

As fate lies, this may be what breaks the circle and allows her to overcome the mass production Eva series.

I don't think that there has been many series like Evangelion where you can go this in depth with it, and discover something new every single time.

I'm definitely going to give this movie another watch this weekend so I can fully absorb everything unlike today when it was 3 in the morning.

In terms of depth mythology, character, even interpretation, and visual storytelling, I can only pull up LOST, and with NGE and Rebuild combined, this is currently trumping even that. There is an absolute ocean to delve into, and it's difficult to surface without reward.

Rarely does open interpretation feel as rewarding and as solid as this.

BSG would be right behind LOST. It's got a solid foundation and a lot to speculate on, but its resolve isn't as confident, so going far beyond what's seen (similar to Prometheus) doesn't garner the same reward as it does for LOST and Eva. Thing about those two is that they cover the value of ambiguity, character analysis, and mythological depth so thoroughly and with such competence that close observation is actually an engaging and fun form of participation. Eva in particular, having this all structured from the mind of one man gives it a wonderful sense of validity and cryptic depth.

About Rei I should have specified it was mostly about her dialogue and less about her characterization I was bothered by since hald her line were "I don't know", but other than that I liked how she slowly learns who she used to be.

Oblivion

Definitely better than the trailer. Audiovisually stunning. Beautiful cinematography. Great soundtrack. Interesting (yet mish-mash of things done before) plot. Acting was fine for the most part. Olga was pretty much a robot though.

7.5/10

Iron Man 3 (2013)

Well, guys, it's been a long time since a movie made me feel this... disappointed. The whole thing feels a bit like a mess and they totally ruined their own villain. Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin was one of the things I was looking forward to the most. He's a great actor, I love the look they created for him and going by the trailer, he seemed to be a very threatening and eccentric character. But...

Spoiler
[MAJOR SPOILERS]

Spoiler
Instead we are given a few quick shots of him "in character" before it's revealed that the Mandarin is just a puppet for Aldrich Killian. In fact, there is no Mandarin. He's only an actor and Kingsley quickly slips into a goofy performance more suited for someone like Rowan Atkinson. Yes, I'm being serious here. Pretty much none of the material we saw of the Mandarin in the trailers made it to the movie. The Ten Rings? Forget about them. They are never mentioned and barely shown. There's absolutely no connection to the organization from the first movie either.

The two things I enjoyed the most was Tony going undercover a bit and the finale. Seeing the Iron Legion go up against the Extremis soldiers was pretty fun. Guy Pearce as Killian was pretty decent as well and heck, I even enjoyed what they did with Pepper.

Also...

Spoiler
Nice to see Yinsen again, even if just for a moment.

But on the whole, this was a very mediocre movie.

Wow, wasn't expecting that at all. So what purpose does Kingsley's character serve then?

Spoiler
Since they blatantly ripped off Batman Begins with the duel identity involving the villain.

None at all, except to provide a few laughs. They don't even build up the character before they reveal he's a fake. Just a few short scenes, if you could call them that. More like quick shots of the character. So in that way it doesn't feel like a rip off of Batman Begins at all. Hell, even Talia was a better twist than this.

Oblivion

I really liked this. More than I was expecting to, actually. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I think Moon meets The Terminator on a more grand scale with the visual style of Tron Legacy kind of comes close. Sort of.

Seeing as the film was directed by Joe Kosinski, it should come as no surprise that, visually, the film is stunning. And a few little blips in pacing and structure aside, the story was quite fascinating as well. Just when you think you figure out the twist, it twists again. I'm not sure that I'd call Oblivion revolutionary, but it is a very solid second outing for Kosinski. Well acted, well scored, and very visually appealing, I'd certainly recommend the film to any science fiction fan itching for a fun ride intertwined with bits of very interesting philosophy.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Now this is what I'm talking about! So, so much better than V. Right up there with Wrath and Search in my books. It was exciting, fast-paced, and intriguing; a mystery story at its core, dressed up with some nice space battles, Cold War allegories, and what may be the first example of shitty CGI blood. The cast was fantastic; as always, the original crew was a helluva lotta fun to watch. They act almost as a single unit, they know each other so well. Shout out to Christopher Plummer as the Klingon Chang, who gave the best Trek villain performance since Ricardo Montalban's Khan. The guy had me grinning with his first line. The effects were also top notch.

Now, this movie wasn't perfect. I felt like the ending didn't quite work for me; a bit too rushed, a bit too neat and tidy. George Takei also didn't have near enough screentime, and he shared maybe one scene with the rest of the Enterprise crew, which was a shame.

On the whole, though? A damned good movie, which was damned fun to watch, full of references and nods to the previous films and series. A near-perfect finale for the crew

Takei, Doohan, Koenig, Nichols, Kelley, Nimoy, Shatner. Goodbye. (At least, until I start watching TOS.)


Now, to move on to Star Trek: Generations. Ugh..... I have not been looking forward to rewatching that.

That's what happens when you beg to be given your own ship. The main focus is on the crew of the Enterprise. Takei had been pushing for the screenwriters to make him captain of the Excelsior. I remember hearing how Takei kept blaming William Shatner for his character not getting promoted in Star Trek III. It's kind of sad how Takei was behaving like it was a real promotion or something. Shatner asked him "why do you want to be on another ship? All the action is going on on the Enterprise". Well Takei finally got what he wanted, so he's to blame for his lack of screen time in Star Trek VI.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. Part of me was really happy to see one of the other crewmembers finally get a well-deserved promotion, but still a shame that it meant Sulu's presence was minimal.

Chekov kind of took a reduction in rank by returning to the Enterprise. Remember he was the first officer of the Reliant? He just wanted to be with his friends I guess. That said I'm glad Sulu got the Excelsior. Watching the two ships team up and take down the bird of prey is still near the top of my favorite space battle list.

7/10

This movie is about Arnold and his team of DEA agents who take down drug cartels, and how one small time "let's steal 10 million dollars" goes wrong. Entering this screening tonight, I was expecting a run of the mill action movie, what I ended up getting was a film that had some action, but ended up becoming a crime-drama by the end of it. This film had pretty bad pacing in the beginning because it had no idea what the hell it wanted to be, it was moving in too many directions way too quickly, as if it was meant to be a mini-series, but ended up becoming a movie...so a ton of shit ended up being cut. It really felt like that. So basically you have Arnold's team being taken out one by one by someone they cannot pinpoint, no one knows who's killing them, and rather quickly they start pointing the finger at one of their own. For some strange reason this film felt like a comedy, I surely laughed way more than I should have, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. The only performances worth even mentioning are those of Arnold, Manganiello, Olivia Williams, Worthington, and finally Mireille Enos (who I have to say did the best job by far. She was f**king kickass in this).

The ending of this movie is not something I was expecting to happen when I walked into the screening, as I said before, I was expecting for a run of the mill action movie, you get at least three scenes that are heavy in action, one in the beginning, middle, and near-end. It felt like it should have been a mini-series, and it would have worked a hell of a lot better if it was. You still end up getting a movie that is worth seeing. I don't suggest paying full-price to see the movie, but it's definitely not a waste of time. Everyone did their jobs pretty well in this film, and I was surprised at how well Arnold was in this movie. If anything, his scenes are actually believable once he starts kicking ass, there's nothing too insane in this movie that would make you not believe Arnold being able to do what he does in this film, at his age.

So, if you're gonna see this when it opens, don't walk in expecting a high-paced action film, go in expecting a action-drama with some thrilling moments.

Aye, that was good to see. Sulu has always been one of my favourite officers, ever since he ran around the Enterprise shirtless thinking he was a pirate.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Haven't seen this since 2008 when it was in theaters. I remember after seeing it I moderately enjoyed it, but didn't think much of it beyond that. Having watched it again, I actually this its a lot betternow than I thought it was back then. I still think that giving Anakin a Padawan in between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith is a bit forced, but it was handled well, so I can't really complain. I guess my only real complaint is that I would have preferred Anakin to not confront Dooku at all during the war (I like Anakin's "My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count." line in RotS to refer to his confrontation with Dooku in AotC). But that's just minor. I ultimately had a lot of fun watching the movie. More Obi-Wan is always a great thing, the big battle scenes were excellent, and even Ziro was no where near as irritating as he is made out to be.

So yeah, I had fun with it. It is certainly not on par with the live action films, but then again I don't think anyone was actually expecting it to be. If you're a fan of the movies I'd say its worth seeing once, at least.

You know, this is a particular case where if you spoil yourself you might be doing yourself a favor. As in, you would have more time to process just a certain thing that you don't expect and miiiiiight downplay the movie for you (when a disappointment hits, it hits as hard as it can when you're in your cinema seat). If you've seen the trailers and all, that is. :)

I went in spoiled and enjoyed it more than a friend of mine who went in completely unspoiled and based his hype entirely around the trailers, for one.

I get completely what you're saying about the spoilers, but I still want to go in not knowing what to expect. Probably going to hurt me in the end, but I made it this far; might as well stick it out.

But, overall, did you like the movie?

I think given your open mind this won't disappoint you much. The film does not stab you hard with this X aspect, though. :)

Overall I really liked the film, even though -- as said in the thread -- I would have preferred a different arrangement of the cards it plays. I certainly do think it makes for a good-feeling ending to the arc of the series (even though I wouldn't certainly mind another film).

That's certainly an interesting question, given the bolded part. I would say that yes, being a long-time enthusiast of Iron Man does play a part in this.

Let's put it this way: forget the trailers. Forget what they show you and what they present to you. :)

But I'm actually in the same boat as Eva; other than the films, I do not know very much at all about Iron Man. And I know next to nothing about the Mandarin in particular.

OK thanx, I'll wait it out then. I just wanna be as entertained as I was with the first film. If the problems you guys have with it originate from a new interpretation of known material, character deaths or something, I'd rather just go in knowing nothing.

Safety Not Gaurenteed

Nice upbeat film about a journalist crew checking out the ad a guy put in about going on a time travel machine and to bring weapons. Gets pretty interesting as it goes along with some great funny parts. Has Nick from New Girl in it too which is cool :P

Gamera: Attack of the Legion

8/10

Just as good as the first in the 90's trilogy, despite repeating the first film's "Here comes a monster... and then in comes Gamera to the rescue" formula. I dug the extra horror vibe with the tiny creatures attacking humans on ground level :P Great action and tons of fun throughout :) Amazing creature design as well :) (and i dug how Legion was part-bee swarm, part plant, part crab, part dung beetle and it's biology was well thought out and provided a nice puzzle to entertain the viewer and to have something interesting for our human characters to figure out and fight against.)

All the characters were likeable in an almost "effortless" way... no forced attempts at inserting humor or at inserting clichéd drama into the proceedings... they were also allways "competent"... wich is something that horror stories in general should learn from and emulate. (cough cough Prometheus, Milburn and Fifield cough cough)

Good stuff and i cant wait to check out the 3rd flick :)

And now i'm looking at the Gamera Revoltech figure line with serious "buyer" eyes :P http://chris-strange.com/2013/02/07/my-pal-gamera/ (http://chris-strange.com/2013/02/07/my-pal-gamera/)

Yessssssss. Each one is better than the last (GOTU is 7/10, AOL is 8/10, the 3rd is a 9/10). And have you started to pick up on the distinctly purposeful feminist tone? (Seriously!) Love that little scene in the second one where the General offers his hand to the main character as she hops off her telescope, and she just casually ignores it and continues their conversation. It gets taken to the hilt in the third film -- you'll see.  :P



The Abyss: Special Edition (1989)

If no one takes you to space like Kubrick, then nobody takes you underwater like James Cameron. All his biggest faults as a screenwriter are in ready supply here -- broad, cartoonish dialogue and characterization, sentimentality so unashamed it gives Spielberg a run for his maudlin money -- but so are his strengths, namely awe-inspiring visual effects and one brilliantly conceived, white knuckle set piece after another. To hell with Spielberg's treacly space kidnappers; Cameron's NTIs are the most beautifully realized neon-light show aliens out there (the scene where Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio comes face to face with the manta ship as it rises over the rim of the trench is unforgettable), even if the climax stumbles awkwardly (and preachily) with how to actually fit them into the story. Probably the film's biggest success is making you forget for long stretches that there actually are glowing butterfly sea aliens hovering around the edges of the plot -- the character drama, broad as it may be, is intensely brought to life by the cast, and all the pain and agony and passion that went into the infamously grim shoot is powerfully put across, especially in the work done by Ed Harris and Mastrantonio, which easily rank among the best performances in any sci-fi film. (Too bad Biehn goes ridiculously OTT once he crosses over into full on, bug eyed psychotic mode).

It's pretty much the same for me. I don't think I've ever read a comic book with the Mandarin. I was just looking forward to the character based on what we had seen of Kingsley so far. :-\

Well, I guess I'm just going to be going in to Iron Man 3 with my mind as a complete blank slate. Forget everything but the films that came before it, and prepare for the worst with the plot twist, whatever it may be. Kingsley's performance was the thing I was most looking forward to as well (his Mandarin looked like it could easily be one of the best villains in a comic book movie), but at least I know not to expect too much in that area of the film. Hopefully I come out enjoying it.

Still going to be giving myself an Iron Man marathon beforehand, though. Kicking it off with some friends and the first Iron Man tomorrow night :)

Nagamine, the ass kicking ornithologist from the first film, returns in the next one, which also goes crazy with all kinds of sexual symbolism: the monster this time around is a giant, neon thing with phalic tentacles that it uses to spear and suck the life out of anything living, and its chest is a giant pulsating vulva that absorbs people. :P

Mud (2013)

Another one of those hunky macho outlaw art house dramas that are all the rage right now (Drive, Place Beyond the Pines) -- yawn. First two acts are excellent, though, before the idiotic third act kicks into gear with snakebite-imperiled kids (I liked it better in True Grit), mobster villains (as is required of this genre), a ludicrous shoot out and an audience pleasing happy ending. Matthew McConaughey is fantastic, though -- if this were released in Oscar season he'd be locked for a nomination, and the two boys are great, too.

Sean Penn plays a middle aged, effeminate goth rocker ala Robert Smith who goes in search of the Nazi war criminal who tormented his father at Auschwitz. Great performance from Penn and lots of great lines, with a streak of witty dry humor throughout, but it stumbles badly at the end with a pat, easy wrap up that does a disservice to Penn's character.

Muriel's Wedding

Muriel is stuck in a rut. She spends her unemployed days in a depressing town with little promise listening to ABBA dreaming of being a success and getting married. She has no real friends and her family are only contributing to her low self-esteem. She goes through life on a veil of lies trying to impress those around her. Eventually she meets Rhonda while on a holiday she stole money to pay for. This is her first real friend and the first person to positively influence her life.

Muriel's Wedding is a wonderful journey of self-discovery. It knows when to be serious and it knows when to have fun. But above all - it's honest. Toni Collette gives a performance worthy of an Oscar. She is so unflinchingly real in all of her scenes.

At the end, the film leaves the viewer with a message which is not new to cinema but is handled in a way that is natural and powerful all the same.

9/10

Cars -  8.5/10

The first Pixar movie that didn't receive universal critical acclaim, it is nonetheless a really good animated film, and more of a classic "Pixar" movie than Brave. It is extremely creative (cow tipping --> tractor tipping was pretty funny) and has the classic Pixar feel good ending. The problem with this film is that it doesn't have the same originality as the amazing films they've done before; everyone's seen a movie about a cocky, self-obsessed person losing all he has and changing into a more caring, empathetic, gracious person. Which is where this movie suffers and what keeps it from reaching the same status as previous entries (and the later Toy Story 3, Up, Wall-E and Ratatouille).

Near Dark (1987)

Sexy dumbass cowboy gets turned into a vampire and spends an entire movie getting the shit beat out of him courtesy of Vasquez, Bishop and Hudson. Kathryn Bigelow's first mainstream hit starts out strong -- a gritty, bloody take on the vampire mythos by way of a modern day western -- before turning into a contrived, explosiony muddle in the third act. At least there's some wonderful few seconds of a sweaty, shirtless Adrian Pasdar writhing around on a table to make it go down easier :-*

Iron Man 3 (2013)

Just got back from this and like Shasvre & Eva I found it to be very disappointing. The Mandarin; arguably one the most interesting things about this turns out to be a utter joke, something more for cheap laughs really. They really didn't bother to explain how Extremis works. It's some nonsensical explanation but whatever. I would have liked to see more of Guy Pearce. Even though he plays a substantial part in terms of plot, I felt there just wasn't enough of him. One thing Iron Man 2 did well was balance both Justin Hammer and Vanko. Not all of it was a lost cause. The scenes when Pepper was in the armor and the last act involving her was pretty cool.

At this point I'm not even going in with any expectations. I just hope I come out enjoying it... I'm honestly shocked by how mixed the response to the 'twist', whatever it is, seems to be. Some people absolutely hate it, for others it just kind of happens...

Do you think that maybe a subsequent viewing, now that you know exactly what to expect, will benefit the film in any way?
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

I don't think so. The movie has these terrorist broadcasts spread throughout the movie by the Mandarin and they're so wonderfully effective, that is until the twist is revealed. It completely undermines the character and a wasted opportunity for what could have been.

I don't read comics but I enjoyed the first two Iron Man films. There's just nothing that looks appealing to me about the third film. Even without the twist, I doubt I would enjoy the film.

I read spoilers giving away the entire film and it pretty much confirms that it sucks. :P I will watch it out of curiosity but definitely not paying to see it in theaters.

Did it? I thought one of Iron Man 2's biggest failings was the underdevelopment of Vanko. You hire Mickey Rourke, he prepares like a goddamn general, and for what? If I remember rightly he only gets a few minutes to show any kind of depth to his character. And then they spend forever on fighting a bunch of f**king robots. I'm getting pissed off about that film all over again.

I dimly remember thinking they could have done more with Rockwell, too, but I don't intend to watch it again for verification.

Ack, I see it's already been said. Honestly, I too didn't like how the Mandarin was handled in the movie. Nothing wrong with Ben Kingsley playing as him, but the ironic twist they throw with him near the end is inevitably disappointing (especially to any Mandarins fans here). I was expecting something more bad-@ss with the character.  :(

Otherwise though, a decent film and a slight notch better than the previous two.

Rating: 3.5/5.

Those were great, especially the last one when he was addressing the president. Given yesterday's interview with Ben Kingsley, that's the way he wanted to play it throughout the whole movie too. A shame they didn't let him.

I've read about the character in the comics, and there was so much potential. Like the rings for example. They could have used those in some way. There's no reason why this movie couldn't have two real villains. I will give them credit for the marketing of this movie though. Sure deceived me.

Django Unchained (2012)

That dazzling hour long second act, centered entirely around an unbearably suspenseful dinner evening from hell, is definitely among the best pieces of writing and directing Tarantino has ever done -- but let's be honest here; outside of a theater with an excited audience, this loses quite a bit of its panache. The climax of the film is clearly when Dr. Schultz kills Candie -- the entire half hour after that feels completely dragged out and superfluous, containing not one but two obligatory shootout scenes in the same set, and Jamie Foxx gets brutally upstaged by Christoph Waltz in every single scene -- even his corpse upstages Foxx toward the end.

Skoonheid (2011)

A balding, married middle aged closet case (who is a disturbing dead ringer for Larry Miller) develops an erotic fixation on a family friend's sexy college aged son, and then proceeds to stalk him. It's at least 20 minutes too long and mannered, and the actual plot doesn't kick in for nearly an hour of the runtime, but it's well made, and paints a very vivid portrait of a passing generation of self-loathing homosexual men coming to terms with a society that is changing fast from the way they were brought up, and how the next generation enjoys freedoms they have locked themselves away from out of fear.

It starts out great, with Kirk, Scotty, and Chekov visiting the newly christened Enterprise-B (though it's quite clear that Scotty and Chekov were originally written as Spock and McCoy), before some bad shit happens, and Kirk is sucked outta a big hole in the hull, presumed dead. Fast forward 80 years, and we see the TNG crew celebrating Worf's promotion. Everything so far I quite enjoyed. In fact, I enjoyed this movie up until the hour mark. Then I remembered that the villain's main base (as well as the climax of the film) take place in one of the most boring and uninspired setpieces in the franchise. In a series that has had villainous confrontations in giant space battles, exploding planets, and around black holes, how did this film try to live up to such precedents? Which some metal grates and plastic barrels on top of a hill.

Jesus Christ...

Don't get me wrong, seeing Kirk and Picard together on screen was absolutely fantastic; but they almost completely wasted the potential that this movie had going for it. Just fell flat, a complete disappointment.

By far my favorite Tarantino film, with just amazing performances all around. Jamie Foxx does a great job, but damn if this film had Will Smith...it would've been even more special.

Yes.  :laugh:

Though my commentary ran from the start to the end of the movie, and it proved to be so misleading that it basically BECAME the true story of the production, distracting from whatever the hell it was we were witnessing.

I think ShadowPred hated it more than everyone else combined. Cvalda was mostly silent especially after the middle. I could hardly hear what was being said, but what I did get was so boring I almost gave up. The teabagging and over the top scream scene were the only riffable parts really.

At times a wonderful parody of the typical "girl goes to city to seek fame and fortune" formula and at other times a chore to sit through. There is some brilliance lurking in the film but it needs some serious polishing. The final shot is great.

Forbidden Planet (1956)

It's The Tempest IN SPACE, with a large smattering of rancid 50s sexism! Heralded as a classic because of its striking visual effects, dissonant, atonal electronic score and lush color cinematography, this is really just more cornball 50s pap dressed up in an exceptionally slick package, with an interesting idea or two. Plot follows a spaceship full of lusty, dumb as rocks alpha males who set down on a planet they have been warned not to visit by its only inhabitant, a reclusive mad scientist, and then spend an eternity fighting over which of them gets to own the mad scientist's hot daughter (he won't give her up without a fight!) and getting killed or attacked by an invisible monster because they simply will not f**king leave like the scientist told them to. Then one of the dumb space captains figures out the entire history of the planet's mind-bogglingly advanced extinct alien race (take that, scientist who's spent 20 years living there, studying!), claims Anne Francis and then tells us that "we are not God". Profound.

Iron Man 3

I...I liked it. I heard so many negative things before going in, and most of them wound up being true, to one extent or another, but I liked it.

I loved the direction that they took Tony Stark in, and equally loved the whole feel of this first step in the post-Avengers world. The new suits were very cool (despite not getting to see the space suit, which was my favorite one in the pre-release artwork) and the action was spectacular (a nice change from the somewhat anticlimactic final battles in the first two films). Funnily enough, the movie actually felt longer than its run time, but I actually wouldn't call that a negative. I wasn't bored; I was simply surprised to see that so much happened during the span of time.

There were some quite very glaring negatives in the film as well, unfortunately. First and foremost, the pacing and structure of the first fifteen minutes or was all kinds of weird. And then, after all of that, when Tony decided to go after the Mandarin, I didn't really feel like he had enough of a confirmation that the Mandarin was involved in the situation to warrant the immediate action that he took. Speaking of Mandarin, I guess I understand why they did what they did with him, but I find myself wishing that he just wasn't in the movie... :-\ Also, I wish  that we got to see more of the inner workings of AIM rather than just their villainy; Iron Man 2 did a great job showcasing multiple aspects of Hammer Industries and its leader, and I feel like this film could have done the same. Oh, and I wanted more Rhodey. He was criminally underused.

But yeah, negatives aside, I did have quite a bit of fun with the movie, but there were a few things (some more prominent than others) that left a bad taste in my mouth. Simply from looking at the trailers, this certainly should have been the best Iron Man film, but now having seen it I think I would consider it the third. Overall, this will definitely be a Blu Ray purchase and I do look forward to seeing it again. I would say that I actually need to see the movie another one or two times to fully digest it. I have a feeling that it will actually improve with each viewing, if only to help me to get more into the characters' motivations and relationships.

Oh, and the post-credit scene was awesome :D

Mona Lisa (1986)

Bob Hoskins plays a small time criminal just released from prison who gets a job as chauffeur for a high class call girl in the employ of a ruthless gangster played by Michael Caine. Hoskins' character starts to fall for her, but in typical Neil Jordan fashion she is not what she appears at first glance. In many ways this feels like a trial run for his later masterpiece The Crying Game, and it's brilliantly made, but the over the top symbolism in a few scenes (the dwarfs on the peer -- what) drags down what should have been a gripping, straightforward noir.

One of the best films from the past year. Just a complete joy to watch, from start to finish. A love letter to the Bond franchise, filled with references and nods, which still retains its own identity. It has the perfect balance of familiarity and novelty.

Predator 2's director commentary - It's always sad when a director does a commentary and sounds depressed throughout at how the movie turned out. At one point Stephen Hopkins was saying that Arnold and Danny were both going to star in this movie, but that Arnold decided to do T2 instead. He then went on to say that Arnold made the better choice and chose the better movie.  :laugh:. This is old news I know. Watched it this evening on some downtime.

Storage 24

Despite not being excellent I decidedly liked it, and it served kind of as a mouthwash after Attack the Block.
It of course is a very niche film. You'll only dig it if you're into the genre.

Acting went from decent to bad. Good pacing overall. Great score. Some cleverly placed dark comedy (bar the dildo. The dildo was bad). And that ending I really dug.

But, but, I loved the monster. Spindly-legged repto-arthropod from beyond the stars.

Skyfall (2012)

Oblivion (2013)

The perfect movie to watch in the cinema. Grand, beautiful, with a solid score, interesting story and nice cast. Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise of course. I was more or less indifferent towards Olga Kurylenko, but Andrea Riseborough was a pleasant surprise. She delivered a strong performance and was quite pleasing to the eye.

Skyfall

One of the best films from the past year. Just a complete joy to watch, from start to finish. A love letter to the Bond franchise, filled with references and nods, which still retains its own identity. It has the perfect balance of familiarity and novelty.

I couldn't ask for a better celebration for 50 years of these films.

Storage 24

Despite not being excellent I decidedly liked it, and it served kind of as a mouthwash after Attack the Block.
It of course is a very niche film. You'll only dig it if you're into the genre.

Acting went from decent to bad. Good pacing overall. Great score. Some cleverly placed dark comedy (bar the dildo. The dildo was bad). And that ending I really dug.

But, but, I loved the monster. Spindly-legged repto-arthropod from beyond the stars. Sweet.Those sounds it made were fantastic, and its behaviour was interesting -- how it seemed to be twistedly curious. Also displayed how intelligence sometimes leads it to 'losing' its prey.

Jurassic Park 3D a.k.a thegreatestmovietoeverexistandifyousayotherwiseyouneedtosufferathousanddeathsatthehandsofhornybitchraptorsin3D

I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm going to say, as most of you are aware how much I love this movie; but I'm going to say it anyways.

This movie was MADE to be seen in theaters, I will never go back to enjoying it the same ever again. Just holy f**k...

You know, sometimes I ask myself: "Why bother seeing a movie in theaters when I can just wait for the Blu-Ray/DVD/whatever to eventually come out?" Then I see movies like this in the theaters and it reminds me, this is why I watch and love movies. It's movies like this that make me want to grow up to direct movies or just plain work on them. Movies like this capture the imagination and wonder that all of us have, even now as an 18 year old (first saw this when I was 4) seeing this movie in theaters gave me chills that I never felt while watching it before, a feeling that not many movies/games/shows/books/etc. give me. A sense of childhood longing that we all have. And that's what makes Jurassic Park so great, it's something that no matter how old we get it stays with us, and we embrace it because no matter how stupid the movie can be for some people, the notion of dinosaurs, these giant reptiles (f**k ya'll and yer feathers) once existed makes you just say "who gives a damn" and you just enjoy the f**k out of watching these animals run amok; breaking shit and eating people or each other. Along with the soundtrack and just everything else that seems to perfectly fall in place this I will go on and say without a doubt is one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time. Truly a landmark film deserving of the praise it received back then, and still receives now. And yeah we could've gotten a movie more like the book but that's what remakes are for, but you know what? This movie is perfectly fine the way it is and I couldn't have it any other way. 8)

Now let's hope Jurassic Park IV next year brings us another enjoyable romp through this world that has so much unused/ruined potential.

One of the best and most hilarious parodies I've ever watched.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

First time seeing this. Heck, first time seeing any Star Trek movie other than the reboot from 2009. I liked it a lot though. I was of course somewhat familiar with the original cast, but it was still fun to get to know them all a bit better. Ricardo Montalban's performance as Khan was very entertaining. There were certain parts of his acting I would almost describe as a bit Dracula-esque, in the way he was moving and talking.

The plot and the music was excellent. My only complaint (if you can call it that, since it was such an entertaining scene) was Kirk's KHAAAN! moment. It just seemed to goofy and out of place. Still, it's a classic.

8/10

Gamera 3: The Absolute Guardian of the Universe aka Revenge of Iris aka Iris Kakusei aka.. something something.

9/10

Duuuuuude.

The Kaiju on Kaiju fights, the cinematography, the music, the way the plot united the previous 2 flicks, the characters and their inner dramas, the slight (nay, very) Lovecraftian influence, a lot to love here and one could fill paragraph on paragraph with just that.

Nitpicks, though? Yep. A few. The CGI doesnt entirely "work" in some scenes, I dug the final "Iris" design but i still feel it could have been better :P (Less obvious man in suit feel at the end, and less "neon tits"), some camera moves seemed out of place, and the "obligatory emotional piano tune" when Osaku gets the kid to go to Kyoto... but nothing else is "bad" here and it doesnt detract from the whole. :)

Easily the best kaiju flick i've seen so far. :) (Yes, it topples the 1954 Godzilla)

If you are or used to be a Magic: The Gathering nerd.. there are 2 references here that are very very easy to spot to that fantasy universe and game: Nevynirral (the game disk that Nagamine receives is named in reference to a disk that can "obliterate the world") and mana (the mystical energy used by planeswalkers to cast their spells). So i suspect the director is a huge nerdfan of that game. :P

And..

7/10



Can't believe they did that to the Mandarin, granted...he shouldn't even have been in a story that didn't even need him, but still, that was beyond f**king stupid. Guy Pierce was awesome in this movie, I thought he was just going to be a secondary character, but he ended up playing an even bigger role than I thought he would. There were plenty of characters in the film, a bunch of supporting ones that shouldn't have even been characters from the comics, especially when they're not even used correctly at all, not true to their character. There was lots of humor, which at times I thought was a bit excessive, and other times it felt just right. Pacing was off as f**k in the beginning, but managed to catch up to itself soon after that. Final battle scene, along with the aftermath was absolutely sweet. The film never got to a point where the drama was even there, it just felt like something you were watching without giving a shit about what happened to any of the characters, it honestly felt like this film was the entire half of another movie.

This movie should honestly just be the final Iron Man movie. Obviously not the last time we'll see Iron Man, but the ending felt right. Also, Johnny Cage came out, so that was cool, definitely the most excited I got seeing this movie. If anything, just wait until this comes out on Blu-Ray and all that jazz, not worth paying to see this at the theater.

It only had a budget of $4 million dollars. And it is 1999 CGI. Some of the shots aren't great, but most of them are downright awe-inspiring: the firefight in Shibuya, the aerial battle in the clouds at night, the amazing composited shot of the heroines backing up as Gamera and Iris smash through the train station wall in slow motion. Unf.

If budget is a defense, then Pacific Rim had to slash it's initial FX budget in half to get the movie done at all. :P And it did this by making the film very "stylised" on purpose :P The cartoonish feel is there for a reason. :P

It works.

Uh, that's Gamera, not Iris, but his design is pretty damn iconic anyway. Which is something the boring Pacific Rim monsters will never be :3

Iris reminded me of any number of monsters from the old Philosoma game (Specially when they fire their lasers, and the whole interior of Iris seems like a note for note lift from Planet 220's biological interior in the game) :P A decent design that is very cool in places? Yes. Absolutely original and amazing? Hmm nope. :P

This will be my sole contribution to this 'debate', but if there's one thing Del Toro and his team can do, it is coming up with fascinating monster/creature designs. We saw what, three or four monsters in the Pacific Rim trailers, and barely got a good luck at any of them in full?

Anyways, I'm just gonna leave these here:

It's a sass filled comedy with a cop out ending scene featuring a bunch of sub par iron man suits. I wouldn't pay $11.50 to see it again, nor would I pay for it when it comes out on DVD

Superman: Unbound (2013)

I much preferred the graphic novel. This animation, which I didn't much care for, can't compete with Gary Frank's art. And the story was much more powerful and emotional in the comic. John Noble was perfect as Brainiac though and Stana Katic made for a pretty decent Lois Lane.

Star Trek: Insurrection

Holy hell, I enjoyed this movie. Really don't understand all the negativity associated with it; of the three TNG films I've seen so far, this was my favourite. Just, a joy to witness. This was the first of the TNG films to capture the same sense of camaraderie and feeling of chemistry amongst the Enterprise crew that the originals had. A great balance between all of the characters. Worf had his moments of comic relief and badassfullness; Troi and Riker shared some really great scenes, really showing the relationship between those two; Patrick Steward as Picard was just fantastic the entire way through, combining an almost adolescent romanticism (it makes sense in context) with a sense of maturity and experience; and finally, finally Riker did something important in one of the movies! It was great! The scene where La Forge actually sees for the first time in his life was simply beautiful. Jerry Goldsmith also dealt up yet another superb score.

This film dealt up some good action, great character interactions, and a pseudo-poli-philosophical message dealt with in traditional Trek style.

I really liked this.

Snow White And The Huntsman. 6.5/10

I was intrigued by this when it was released but kinda gave it the swerve after hearing bad things about it. Glad I ended up watching it though as its much better than I was led to believe.

Its the got the tone of a film somewhere between the Pirates Of The Caribbean films and LOTR and I like that. Visually its absolutely stunning and Charlize Theron is excellent. Never seen anything with Kristen Stewart in before so didnt have any pre-conceptions and she was pretty good. Her english accent was believable too, unlike Chris Hemsworths Scottish / Irish / Cornish whatever the f**k it was supposed to be. Would have been better of just speaking in his own accent.

The dwarves were excellent and I had no idea they were played by the likes of Bob Hoskins, Ray Winston, Ian McShane etc.

Not great, but certainly a solid, entertaining fantasy adventure and one of the most visually striking films ive seen in a while.

The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (2009)

Doesn't measure up to the brilliant original, and it's less a razor-sharp parody of the genre like its predecessor was than it is a straight silly comedy in "lost world" B-movie drag, but the characters you know and love from the original are still as fun as ever, and the original orchestral score is truly fantastic. Bring on The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us!

7/10


One Hour Photo (2002)

Robin Williams's best performance and chillingly sterile (if occasionally overcooked) direction from music video vet Mark Romanek. The Blu-ray transfer is excellent.

8/10

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 10/10

Still my favourite of the trilogy, particularly because Boromir is my favourite character, plus the score for Gandalf's fall is some of the best music I've ever heard!

Yeah, my favourite too. As far as I'm concerned it's more or less perfect, whereas there are numerous issues I take with the other two, some of which seriously hamper my enjoyment.
And of course The Hobbit can kiss my arse, which is a far more epic, magnificent and artistically meritorious franchise than it will ever be.

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)

This is, I think, in total, the third time I've ever seen this. While obviously not as good as the first movie, it's still a pretty decent action flick, filled with explosions, bullets and sweaty muscles. In other words, the 80's at its finest. ;D
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

I love this movie, everything is open to interpretation more or less so everyone takes something different from it. It gives you a lot to talk about when you watch it with another person or a group. It's been in my top ten movies since I saw it in 2006 for the first time.

ALIEN (1979)

Seeing my favorite film of all time on a giant cinema screen is always something of a religious experience, and while the theatrical format exacerbates all the film's glaring technical flaws (the clearly visible faces of John Hurt's stuntman and Ridley's kids in the Derelict sequence and Ash's horrible dummy head the most egregious), it also doubly magnifies the film's innumerable strengths. This is the greatest science fiction film next to 2001, and its breathless, harrowing final act is relentless in a theater.

The Cygnus is a beautiful, gothic looking ship on the outside... kinda boring on the inside. :P

Bob and Vincent's designs felt out of place with the rest of the movie... but the little know-it-all's were very likeable characters! :P

The ending has balls in it's "let's just f**k the audience's minds with mad imagery" attitude. The Hell sequence is truly awe inspiring.

Hans was a wasted villain. Nice performance though.

By far the worst of the Rambo movies. It's a pretty standard action flick. While the finale certainly is explosive, it's pretty damn silly and a bit tiresome.

A performance isn't only expressions. It is expressions as well as voice and bodily language. And Weaving excels at the latter two in V for Vendetta.


As for me. I wanted to see Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor -- unable to see it, I went on and saw Phantoms. Pretty good horror monster flick, think of The Last Man on Earth but with a lovecraftian, shapeshifting, Thing-like ancient entity of doom. Terrific sound editing. Good effects apart from the usual dodgy cgi shots. Pleasant surprise.

Iron Man 3

I absolutely adored it.

I should have expected it, really, even after the fan reactions-- I almost didn't see it in theaters because of that. It would have been a mistake I'd end up regretting. I had tremendous amounts of fun watching it, the dialogue was sharp, snappy, fast paced, infinitely quotable, and hilarious, with the actors at the top of their game-- as always, Robert Downey Jr. is an absolute blast to watch. This is his best work to date... I could watch him forever. The script was also the road less traveled, surprising, and engaging, as I should expect from Shane Black. You can just tell that everybody is having a blast when watching the movie-- the audience loved it as well.

One of my favorite things was the relationship between Stark and Harley-- the chemistry between them: they were connected!  :laugh: Stark treats him like anyone else, and as a result, it's some of the funniest, most memorable stuff in the movie. The action was also a lot of fun in how it played out, complemented by some great effects and well choreographed scenarios. The humor never dies during these, even when things look dire. It's a focused and incessantly enjoyable film through and through.

On the twist...
Spoiler
The Mandarin fake-out was an absolutely brilliant, bold, and ballsy move by Shane Black and I applaud Marvel for allowing it. I was highly anticipating this big bad performance from Ben Kingsley, but what we get is a hilarious and scrawny one? Wonderful. The fake-out also worked on a meta-media level; he was this anticipated (in one form or another) face of menace and dread to both people looking to see the movie, advertised as such in posters, trailers, and TV spots, and in the movie he was the face of dread, evil, and terror for the entire nation. It wasn't disappointment I felt when I found out it was an act, but I burst out into a fit of laughter; one of the greatest spun jokes in recent memory.

The problem is that people took it far too seriously and allowed it to ruin the movie for them. Where we found Kingsley's character to be a ruse, Guy Pearce's Aldrich Killian who provided a strong, competent, and cunning villain. He had elements of all of those prior and then some. I realize people wanted to see the Mandarin as presented in previous media, but his presence was felt through Killian. It was an unexpected route, and worked marvelously. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that I wouldn't have enjoyed the movie nearly as much if they played the villain scenario straight.

Iron Man 2

I enjoyed this a whole lot more second time round. While far from perfect - it's cluttered to bursting point with pre-Avengers filler and various sub-plots (I still have no idea what was going on with that new triangle element thingy) - at least it's paced well and nobody phones in their performance. Plus, ILM's work on the film is nothing short of stunning.

But it could've used more Mecha-Mickey.

Everything was cleared up by the end of the movie, they pretty much bombarded me with so much stuff that I was getting lost, but at the same time the characters were actually explaining all the crazy shit happening. By the end, I pretty much felt up to speed instead of being confused.

Dredd

Well, that was awesome. I had no clue what to expect going in but I wound up being more than satisfied by this bleak, grungy, and excessively over-the-top violent movie. It was cool just watching Judge Dredd do his thing, and I found myself really liking Anderson as well. Anderson's 'mind games' interrogation sequence was probably my favorite part of the movie. Visually there were a lot of interesting things going on as well; the city and the building where all of the action takes place was very cool to look at.

Oh, I'm also in love with the soundtrack. 8)

I don't know. It was just too predictable for my taste, and I had nothing but contempt for all of the characters. I was hoping for some sort of plot twist or surprise that I didn't know was coming, but none did.

Lol, the world ends in the beginning of the film. It's not really the point. It's more about the characters and how they react to the situation they're in. And it's an accurate depiction of depression - moreso than anything else I've seen.

Iron Man 3

So, I went into Iron Man 3 knowing the entire plot and having seen the trailers. I figured I may as well give it a chance to see if the visuals and audio would improve the experience. It didn't.

Spoiler
Honestly, the Mandarin fake-out wasn't even the worst part of the film for me - since I didn't care for the fake or real Mandarin. I don't get the Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts love - I really don't - but to each his own. The pacing was clumsy, the jokes were awkward and largely unfunny, the action was bland.

A film that is so detached from the previous two films and a film so poor that it makes Iron Man 2 look like a godsend. If it was trying to be a parody of sorts, it failed.

Frailty (2001)

This is one hell of a scary, suspenseful  film. With Bill Paxton both directing and acting in it.
AVP fans gotta support Paxton as he's the only one to act in both Predator (P2) and A L I E N (Aliens) movies.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Well, that was fantastic. Easily my favorite movie of 2013 so far. The cast retains its excellent chemistry that has only been expanded on since the first film, Benedict Cumberbatch's John Harrison is amazing to watch on screen, and there are even a ton of fun little references to the originals scattered about. I had a blast watching the movie, and almost feel as though it demands a second viewing.

J.J. Abrams, I know you have that whole Star Wars thing going on at the moment, but if you find the time please come back for a third movie.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Where do I start... how about with a bold statement? One of the best sci-fi space opera adventures ever put to the big screen, really I can only think of a bare few to match it or even roam within the same league-- Wall-E and the first Star Trek Abrams film. Again, Abrams combines impeccable character, jaw dropping science fiction set pieces, intense drama, and awe-inspiring visuals into a tightly wound and brilliantly edited film.

The performances and from all of the leads (and some previously supporting characters really stepping into the foreground) and the chemistry between them is simply infallible, which is to be reiterated if the first film didn't confirm that already-- it's hard to pick a standout because of how well they all play off of each other. This film had me tearing up one moment and then noticing my mouth hanging wide open the next out of pure awe of the beautifully directed action unfolding before me. JJ Abrams is as much of an actor's director as he is a visual one; his swooping and constantly moving shots are stylish without distracting and in a more refined manner than ever before. All together, to call his work 'immerse' would be to damn it with faint praise.

One of my only problems with the first Star Trek film was its underdeveloped villain who never had much to do and had motivations that were revealed just late enough not to make much of an impact... that is anything but the issue here in Into Darkness as Cumberbatch's John Harrison is anything but unimactful. From his steely blue eyes and piercing stare to his flawless posture and precise movement, his very presence is the definition of tension. His villainy could be so clearly felt that it put a smile on my face. But a simple villain John Harrison is not, as his motivations are revealed as much more complex than what we are initially lead to believe.

Spoiler
Luckily, before I saw the movie I had briefed myself on the character of Khan and his place within the universe, and starting to see the pieces fall into place was like watching a window slowly cracking under pressure, and when Cumberbatch delivers THE line-- it shatters and even though the movie allowed you to see it coming, it blows you away in the process. The air was literally sucked out of the room and into space. The audience took a moment and then made their amusement audible; I was among them.

This came right back to everybody during the warp drive re-alignment scene-- knowing who was on which side of the glass and actually seeing it happen was incredible and hit even harder when the scene came. It seemed they were setting Spock up to accept death when it came to him, but really what it was working him toward was the death of another: a friend. Something must be said for Pine and Quinto's work in this scene, as it was played in a way that breaks beyond simply paying homage to the original universe's iteration of it, but truly makes it revelatory for each character's development-- particularly that of Spock's. When Quinto finally let out -THE- line of swelling rage and unshackled emotion, it was simply perfect. Attributing that line to Spock's prior choice to repress emotion was to the point where he no longer could, and I'm going to use the word again, nothing short of brilliant.
[close]

This is where I end the review because every time I think I can find the right place to end it, a new noteworthy detail of the seemingly endless levels of enjoyment I got out of watching the film crops up. It's a delight to have mere moments amongst incredible action scenes that I was so taken aback by that I want to mention them in a review, something meant to encapsulate my impressions of the film's essence. Easily my favorite film I've seen this year, and possibly one that can hold its place right up to the end. If you liked or loved the first Star Trek movie, this film will likely have you as blown away as it had me. If JJ doesn't come back to wrap the films up as a trilogy, I very well may cry. I can't imagine any other modern director taking the reigns of this universe; he owns it with pride and through wondrous execution.

Oh, I forgot to comment on the 3D.

For anybody who has EVER enjoyed 3D, do yourself a favor and check it out with a pair of glasses. It raises the bar. The last film that utilized it that well was Prometheus, and this goes above and beyond that. Only a minute ago I read that it was post-converted... but watching the film I fully believed that it had been filmed in the format. Incredible. It didn't take me out of the experience like The Hobbit did (ironically filmed IN 3D, sorry PJ), but put me right in the Enterprise's hallways. It's a depth of field delight.

This film had me tearing up one moment and then noticing my mouth hanging wide open the next out of pure awe of the beautifully directed action unfolding before me. JJ Abrams is as much of an actor's director as he is a visual one; his swooping and constantly moving shots are stylish without distracting and in a more refined manner than ever before. All together, to call his work 'immerse' would be to damn it with faint praise.

One of my only problems with the first Star Trek film was its underdeveloped villain who never had much to do and had motivations that were revealed just late enough not to make much of an impact... that is anything but the issue here in Into Darkness as Cumberbatch's John Harrison is anything but unimactful. From his steely blue eyes and piercing stare to his flawless posture and precise movement, his very presence is the definition of tension. His villainy could be so clearly felt that it put a smile on my face. But a simple villain John Harrison is not, as his motivations are revealed as much more complex than what we are initially lead to believe.

Spoiler
Luckily, before I saw the movie I had briefed myself on the character of Khan and his place within the universe, and starting to see the pieces fall into place was like watching a window slowly cracking under pressure, and when Cumberbatch delivers THE line-- it shatters and even though the movie allowed you to see it coming, it blows you away in the process. The air was literally sucked out of the room and into space. The audience took a moment and then made their amusement audible; I was among them.

This came right back to everybody during the warp drive re-alignment scene-- knowing who was on which side of the glass and actually seeing it happen was incredible and hit even harder when the scene came. It seemed they were setting Spock up to accept death when it came to him, but really what it was working him toward was the death of another: a friend. Something must be said for Pine and Quinto's work in this scene, as it was played in a way that breaks beyond simply paying homage to the original universe's iteration of it, but truly makes it revelatory for each character's development-- particularly that of Spock's. When Quinto finally let out -THE- line of swelling rage and unshackled emotion, it was simply perfect. Attributing that line to Spock's prior choice to repress emotion was to the point where he no longer could, and I'm going to use the word again, nothing short of brilliant.

This is where I end the review because every time I think I can find the right place to end it, a new noteworthy detail of the seemingly endless levels of enjoyment I got out of watching the film crops up. It's a delight to have mere moments amongst incredible action scenes that I was so taken aback by that I want to mention them in a review, something meant to encapsulate my impressions of the film's essence. Easily my favorite film I've seen this year, and possibly one that can hold its place right up to the end. If you liked or loved the first Star Trek movie, this film will likely have you as blown away as it had me. If JJ doesn't come back to wrap the films up as a trilogy, I very well may cry. I can't imagine any other modern director taking the reigns of this universe; he owns it with pride and through wondrous execution.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Spoiler
Where do I start... how about with a bold statement? One of the best sci-fi space opera adventures ever put to the big screen, really I can only think of a bare few to match it or even roam within the same league-- Wall-E and the first Star Trek Abrams film. Again, Abrams combines impeccable character, jaw dropping science fiction set pieces, intense drama, and awe-inspiring visuals into a tightly wound and brilliantly edited film.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark - 10 rolling boulders out of 10

Wonderful re-watch with my new blu-ray. You'll need to get used to watching this classic with such stark and crisp colors (and they seem to have turned the brightness down a notch in dark scenes), but boy does it look good. Not gonna do a review of the film itself, because everybody knows this is the essential adventure escapist movie.

I've dived into the newly assembled extra feature with feature film length on-set footage (Raiders exclusively) and I'm having a ball watching this stuff for the first time ever, plus deleted scenes, alternate takes etc. of classic moments in the film. I love how so many iconic moments seem to have been created on the spot with a sudden spur of the moment idea from Spielberg. They also emphasize how important preparation was with planning the entire production, which seems like a small nod to how chaotic a time Lucas had, with getting a watchable film out of the Star Wars shoot.

Temple Of Doom tomorrow. 8)

TL;DR- It's pretty good, not as good as the first, but still good. The action  is spectacular, the team focus is great, and Renner is awesome as hell. However, the plot is a bit weak, and the villains are pretty forgettable.

1 4/10

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the most idiotic thriller I've seen because there are some really poorly made blunders out there. And it deserves at least a 4/10, I think. :P But I agree with everything else you had to say.

To be honest, the only time I really enjoyed watching it was when Charlize was on screen. She made this shit-fest watchable.

Also, interesting bit of trivia:

Spoiler
QuoteDuring the climactic highway crash, Charlize Theron releases a woman from the trunk of the over-turned car and then runs up the embankment toward the road, but when she gets there you can see her left leg accidentally slip out from under her due to the wet pavement. According to the director's DVD commentary, though in great pain Charlize forced herself to crawl the rest of the way to finish the scene, but once "Cut" was yelled it was realized how seriously her left knee had been injured and filming was delayed briefly while she was hospitalized.

'Dat Charlize. 8)

End of Evangelion
Spoiler
And the series Neon Genesis Evangelion
[close]

Well... how does somebody new to Evangelion go about reviewing the series and the film? I'm not going to lie, I'm feeling a little perplexed yet welcomingly surprised.

The series gets off to a slow start with ironically lots of action, what with all the angel attacks on Tokyo-3. We start really delving into the characters midway through the series and then by the end is where it peaks and maintains its quality. I completely understand the need for the lighter episodes but I do wish that the shift in tone occurred earlier in the series.

End of Evangelion serves as a replacement for the final two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Not having seen the final two episodes, I can't make any comparisons. And I don't think I'll be seeing them either.

The film serves as a startling conclusion to the series and left me wanting more from the actual series. I must admit I was really surprised by some of the brave directions taken in End of Evangelion. And I don't mean what the title insinuates. There were some really dark themes at play that may have been tacked on in the end of the series but nothing in the series can prepare you for what's to come in the film.

There is also a lot left open to interpretation which won't be to everyone's liking but I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved by the film - something I wish I felt more of in the series, to be honest. A lot of existential and religious themes are present along with other dark themes which are either expressed in an authentic way or tacked upon (and possibly explored at a later point in the rebuilds, lol).

While the true explanation of Evangelion is up for debate, one thing is for sure: the series and End of Evangelion are ambitious. A mature anime that really invites the viewer to question things and to look deeper. This may be handled a little pretentiously or too on the nose visually at times but that's not to say it's not spectacular to look at.

If anything, I'm grateful that the series built up to a spectacular film, rather than witnessing Neon Genesis Evangelion peak mid-series, for example, and end with an anti-climax.

A worthwhile series and film to pick up. I'm not quite sure I even want to watch the rebuilds but I don't regret watching the series and the film which wrapped it up nicely.

I do have a few things that I would have personally changed, or wanted less or more of (or not at all) but ultimately it was a solid journey.

Thanks for introducing me to Evangelion, Sweeps.

8/10

Resident Evil: Damnation a.k.a HOLYSHITTHEIRHAIRSACTUALLYMOVENOW

Who said zombies were more intimidating than the ganados? ::)

So the first CG RE movie was boring, very little action, the zombies barely did anything, and Leon was a boring emotionless husk (just like his video game counterpart. :P).

So how does this new one stack up to the previous disappointment? It's a huge improvement. The film has a faster pace than the first ensuring it won't just be 70 minutes of characters talking and 25 minutes of them actually fighting. This one is action all the way through with a lingering sense of horror thanks to the lighting which is much darker than the previous movies with lots of golden-browns in the underground/inside the church scenes. One thing that really caught me off guard was the animation itself. It's f**king beautiful, thanks to the advancements since RE: Degeneration back in 2008. Characters hairs move, blood splatters have a chunky weight to them, the Lickers move fast while still looking heavy, the Tyrants walk with a huge gait and all around it feels like a better made movie.

Spoiler
Plus seeing a Tyrant get it's head blown off by a tank is the best thing to happen to this series in long time.

Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed...although not quite as good as the first entry, it is still a worthy sequel. I got to like the character of Bridgette (Emily Perkins) in this movie more and more. The character of "Ghost" was also interesting and had some decent twists. The character of "Tyler" provided some brief comic relief moments. Liked Bridgette's continuing story and struggle. And of course there is Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is seen and heard multiple times throughout this film as an inner vision of Bridgette's'. Although because of this sequel I have grown to like the character of Bridgette more, Ginger continued to be my favorite character in the series as her character is complex, interesting and played brilliantly by Katharine Isabelle. All in all not as good as the original, but what is? I still really enjoyed this film.

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom - 8.5/10

Especially Lucas has to some degree detached himself from this film and its undeniable darker mood, compared to Raiders. It's understandable considering the divorce etc. he had just been struggling with prior to outlining Indy's next adventure. Personally I don't mind the darker story at all - human sacrifice, ripping out hearts, child slaves, a musical number, Dan Akroyd + James Earl Jones in uncredited cameo roles and what have you. It's a bit of fresh air in the formula and I like how they focused on a non-Christian religious mcguffin this time around. India is a very exotic location, their culture is very diverse and it's all in the finished film.

Where this sequel falls short is probably the leading lady and sidekick roles. Not really a match for Marion and Sallah, who felt more integral to the plot development of Raiders, than Willie Scott and Short Round does here. Mola Ram does the job as a really nasty piece of work, but Paul Freeman as Belloq, gave Indy a run for his money in their short scenes together in Raiders. He was pretty sensational.

Otherwise, it's hugely entertaining and still one of the best sequels ever imo. The quality of the blu-ray is just as sensational as my Raiders watch yesterday. It's like watching these films for the very first time, with details you've never noticed before popping up occasionally.

Evangelion sure gets a lotta love around here...

End of Evangelion serves as a replacement for the final two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Not having seen the final two episodes, I can't make any comparisons. And I don't think I'll be seeing them either.

The film serves as a startling conclusion to the series and left me wanting more from the actual series. I must admit I was really surprised by some of the brave directions taken in End of Evangelion. And I don't mean what the title insinuates. There were some really dark themes at play that may have been tacked on in the end of the series but nothing in the series can prepare you for what's to come in the film.

There is also a lot left open to interpretation which won't be to everyone's liking but I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved by the film - something I wish I felt more of in the series, to be honest. A lot of existential and religious themes are present along with other dark themes which are either expressed in an authentic way or tacked upon (and possibly explored at a later point in the rebuilds, lol).

While the true explanation of Evangelion is up for debate, one thing is for sure: the series and End of Evangelion are ambitious. A mature anime that really invites the viewer to question things and to look deeper. This may be handled a little pretentiously or too on the nose visually at times but that's not to say it's not spectacular to look at.

If anything, I'm grateful that the series built up to a spectacular film, rather than witnessing Neon Genesis Evangelion peak mid-series, for example, and end with an anti-climax.

A worthwhile series and film to pick up. I'm not quite sure I even want to watch the rebuilds but I don't regret watching the series and the film which wrapped it up nicely.

I do have a few things that I would have personally changed, or wanted less or more of (or not at all) but ultimately it was a solid journey.

Thanks for introducing me to Evangelion, Sweeps.

8/10

A great review. I'm so very glad that you enjoyed the experience and were able to watch it through with the rest of the 'Eva Crew'. In hindsight, I think The End of Evangelion is best watched alone and with a full screen, so you certainly got the proper experience. Though I can understand the hesitance (I had it for a short while after watching EoE as well), I still fully and completely recommend checking out the Rebuild films; if NGE provided one bracket, Rebuild provides another opposite to it, closing in for a perfect thematic and progressive embrace, and the result is nothing short of revelatory.

It's not as though one could say you're not finished with the series, but Rebuild films are taking previous investments in the universe, characters, and continuity to new heights, making the series overall as something much more-- which wouldn't be saying much without the confirmation that it is incredible. Either way, I'm always happy to see somebody taking the journey that is NGE and coming out with a smile... or, er... whatever it is they come out with, expressing positive feelings toward it.  :D

Hardly, it's probably his best film. The script has the epic complexity of a novel, and the climax is truly shocking and a brilliant piece of audience trolling. If it weren't for that stupid scene where Grace tries to steal the dogs chicken bone at the beginning it would be a 10/10.

Texas Chainsaw 3D...been wanting to see this one for awhile as a huge horror/slasher fan. This movie has gotten a lot of hate, but I really enjoyed it. With the way the story went I thought it was by far one of the more original slasher flicks in awhile. I loved the nods and references to the original and Leatherface's masks/faces looked nice. I thought the actress that played Heather/Edith Sawyer was decent enough and really owned the role when she realized the true history of the town and what happened to her (Sawyer) family. Different twist and interesting ending that gives more depth to the movie and Leatherface's character. It is probably my favorite in film in the franchise! I can't wait for a sequel!

Revisited The Exorcist ..after quite a few years, actually.. i last saw this in 2002, 2003?

Nearly perfect :) a few moments are milked for melodrama and are too over the top... but that's pretty much it as far as things i didnt quite like. One of the best horror films ever made. Father Karras's relationship to his mother really got to me.. and his breakdown after her death was terrifying to watch... that's what got to me... and then the way the devil started really playing with his feelings of failure... argh. :P  I'm an atheist, so the "evil" of satan doesnt hold as much weight to me as it does to heavily religious people. LOL :laugh: but the film still pulled me into the lives of it's characters in a very effective way. :P Wonderful make up and effects overall.. Some  arent quite up to par nowadays.. but that's ok. :)

Now i'm gonna watch "The Ninth Configuration".. by William Peter Blatty :P that carries the story within that fictional world with the "astronaut" character... and then i'll check out "Legion" aka Exorcist 3, the other film in the series that's written by Peter Blatty. :P

Here's the trailer for John Boorman's lame ass sequel....Yeezus.

Star Trek Into Darkness

I loved this. I loved this I loved this I loved this.

I loved this.

From the very opening moments, showing the Enterprise crew on a classic away mission, to the final climax, this movie had me. I laughed, I cried, I sweated, I smiled, for over two hours. Every single hope and expectation I had, it either met or exceeded. That doesn't happen very often.

This movie was a perfect sequel and extension of the '09 film, developing and fleshing out even further the characters we were first introduced to there. The chemistry between the actors is simply fantastic, and I can easily see them becoming as natural and familiar around each other as the original cast. I loved the depth and exploration of the Kirk/Spock relationship we saw here, the conflicts between these two friends, the tensions that arise.

What do I say about the actors? Well, everyone was f**king perfect, that's what. Pegg, Pine, Urban, Saldana, Yelchin, they all slid into their characters excellently, owning the roles that belonged to others for so many years. Zachary Quinto came close to stealing the show as Spock; even as an emotionless alien, you could see the subtle feelings welling under the surface, could almost feel the conflict between his human and vulcan halves. I'd say he was the best actor in this, if it weren't for Benedict Cumberbatch. He just ran away with every one of his scenes, chewing scenery in the best possible manner. John Harrison was one of the greatest film villains in Trek's history, and that's saying a lot. The scenes with Spock and Harrison together... man, the acting sparks just flew.

The story? Somewhat convoluted, with a few plot holes, but I'll be goddamned if I say I didn't enjoy it. Loved every minute of it, every single twist and turn; a goddamned rollercoaster across the stars. Even if a few plot-points were a bit predictable, it didn't detract in the least.

Spoiler
The moment where it's revealed that Harrison was Khan... that was one of my favourite film moments in recent memory. I'd suspected it beforehand, but that didn't lessen the reveal in the slightest. Cumberbatch as a Sikh from northern India was a bit suspect (doubly confounded by him not looking a thing like Ricardo Montalban), but I rationalized that away as Starfleet giving him cosmetic surgery to further disguise his identity.

I also absolutely loved the Wrath of Khan parallels in the final act; the iconic reactor scene, roles reversed, Kirk within, giving his life, Spock without, unable to help. That scene was simply beautiful. Quinto's rendition of the classic "KHAAAAAAAAN!" scream was absolutely magnificent.

I also loved that Khan was not killed; much like the end of "Space Seed", he's still out there, waiting. Vengeance can still be had, if he gets free.
[close]

The movie was also jam-packed with references to the Trek series and films. McCoy performing surgery on a torpedo, straight outta Undiscovered Country; the tribble in medbay; the android on the bridge; a man in San Francisco with very La Forge-esque sunglasses; Sulu making reference to liking the sound of 'Captain'... Gah, there were just too many to count, and I'm sure I missed a tonne. I loved picking up on all the little easter eggs scattered throughout the film.

I'm gonna hafta stop myself here; I fear if I don't, I'm just gonna keep rambling for hours. Needless to say, I loved this movie. Definitely my favourite from this year, one of my favourites from this century.

I need to see it again.

Also, shoutout Noel Clarke's cameo; f**king fantastic to see him in a big-budget space opera.

I had literally no idea what the movie was about going in, seeing as I was only aware of its existence through a banner ad online which showed me Dwayne Johnson looking srs. The plotting could've been a bit tighter, maybe, but it was an enjoyable ride with pretty solid performances all-round. A slightly higher rating wouldn't have gone amiss, though.

Watched it again because I wanted to. Even on this third viewing I'm shocked at just how pretty this movie is, the outdoor scenes at the end with the Tyrants and Lickers are great. Must've been one hell of a ride in 3D. :'(

Easily the best Resident Evil movie, if not the only one that is a legitimately good movie.

Resident Evil Damnation

Watched it again because I wanted to. Even on this third viewing I'm shocked at just how pretty this movie is, the outdoor scenes at the end with the Tyrants and Lickers are great. Must've been one hell of a ride in 3D. :'(

Easily the best Resident Evil movie, if not the only one that is a legitimately good movie.

F**k yeah couldn't agree more
Spoiler
That tyrant lickers fight was brilliant :'( great characters and that ending

The CG films are amazing. Visually stunning.

Iron Man 3

Fantastic film. Thoroughly entertained me from start to finish. Can't choose between this, Iron Man, and The Avengers for my favourite MCU movie. Guy Pearce stole the f**king show; wish he'd used a bit more of a certain power, but alas, the moment it happened was more than enough.

You all know what I'm talkin' about. ;D

3/10- Slow, boring, focuses on new characters that are dull as all hell. Easily Robert Wise's worst film (that I've seen, of course).

I love both of them. the 1933 movie was one of my favorite movies growing up, and the 2005 King Kong is by far one of the best remakes I have ever seen.

Still have to get my hands on the extended edition.

There was testing going on in my school, so for those who had classes in the same rooms where testing was going on were sent to the auditorium, and this ended up being the movie that was chosen. And goddamn seeing it on a projector on a huge screen was f**king awesome. 8)

King Kong (1933)

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_ma3t8f2Nxg1r3kkje.gif&hash=c52264cff50127717a3df1cd580da2bf5088692e)

It was also a lot of fun when it wasnt busy being an amalgam of all the ugly racist stereotypes of that era. :P

Wonderful effects for the time :) Kong's battle with the Rex was quite a sight to behold..

this film also has a carnivorous brontosaurus! I repeat... it HAS A FREAKING MAN EATING BRONTOSAURUS!

Thumbs up.

Most of the writing is ri-goddamn-donkulous but the "it was beauty that killed the beast" stuff added a little poetic flair and class to the flick. :P Some nice early bits in the film that show the underclass trying to scrap by are also quite effective.

Peter Jackson's King Kong is the better flick but it's also way too long... At 1 hour 40 minutes the original flick just breezes through with a lot of energy.

So all in all this is an iconic fun flick that also has a lot of ugly stuff associated with it.
Go to "Skull Island" at your own risk... You have been warned.

Trivia about the film:
QuoteCooper felt Creelman's final draft was slow-paced, too full of flowery dialogue, weighted-down with long scenes of exposition,[10] and written on a scale that would have been prohibitively expensive to film.[9] Writer Ruth Rose (Mrs. Ernest Schoedsack) was brought in to clean things up and, although she had never written a screenplay, undertook the task with a complete understanding of Cooper's style. She streamlined the script and tightened the action. Rather than explaining how Kong would be transported to New York, for example, she simply cut from the island to the theater. She incorporated autobiographical elements into the script with Cooper mirrored in the Denham character, her husband Schoedsack in the tough but tender Driscoll character, and herself in struggling actress Ann Darrow. She rewrote the dialogue to give it some zip and created the film's entire opening chunk showing Denham plucking Ann from the streets of New York. Cooper was delighted with Rose's script, added the Arab proverb seen on the screen at the beginning, and approved the script (now called Kong) for production.[11] Cooper and Schoedsack decided to co-direct scenes but their styles were different (Cooper was slow and meticulous, Schoedsack brisk) and they finally agreed to work separately with Cooper directing the miniature and special effects scenes and Schoedsack directing the live-action scenes.

Bright Star (2009)

It's hard to believe this chaste, gorgeously wrought, tender tale of the joy, ecstasy -- and the absurdity -- of first love is from the director of such explicit, brutal and unsympathetic dramas as The Piano, Portrait of a Lady, In the Cut and Top of the Lake, but Jane Campion cements herself as the greatest director of costume dramas with this visually stunning dramatization of the relationship between poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Malick fetishists should take note -- this is what film as poetry looks like.

I couldn't make it all the way through Amazing Spiderman, but I thought the one thing it had going for it was Garfield's charm, relatability and the commitment he brought to the role. Maguire was perfect for that geeky outsider role they chose for Parker in the first film, so I wouldn't necessarily take one over the other.

That aside, the first Spiderman is the only entry in the series that I can still sit through; apart from the ridiculous Goblin outfit I think it's a great film.

Morvern Callar (2002)

An impoverished Scottish supermarket clerk with no hope and no future wakes up Christmas morning to find that her boyfriend has slit his writs during the night and left her money for his funeral, as well as a novel he's written that he wants her to send to publishers posthumously.

So she cuts up his body, buries it in the highlands, deletes his name on the manuscript and replaces it with her own, and takes his funeral money to go on holiday in Spain.

In some ways this feels like Lynne Ramsay's trial run for her subsequent masterpiece We Need to Talk About Kevin, with its despairing portrait of a lonely woman left stranded on the fringes of a brutally indifferent society, trying to keep herself going. And the soundtrack is great.

Dragon (We Xia)

A Hong Kong film which presented a quite interesting blend of the martial arts and film-noir genres. Set in a small village in rural China in 1917, the movie follows the investigation of by Xu Baijiu (Takeshi Kaneshiro), a detective well-versed in physiology and acupuncture. A papermaker named Liu Jinxi (Donnie Yen) foiled a would-be robbery with suspiciously advanced martial arts, leading Xu to look into the man's mysterious past. The movie had several very well choreographed and entertaining fights, and the story kept me interested the whole way through. Unfortunately, the main focus of the film was on Liu, leaving Detective Xu (and the entire investigative side of the film) underdeveloped. I found that whole angle and character to be much more interesting than Liu's, who was a fairly standard and cliché martial arts character with a fairly stock story and arc.

Overall though, I did enjoyed the movie; just felt it failed to completely capitalize on the unique mix of noir and martial arts it had set up.

Quite possibly Rob Zombie's most mature and accomplished film to date. I may still love Devil's Rejects a bit more, but damn was that fantastic. A great come back after those horrid Halloween movies.

In the Cut

It's not without its flaws but the cinematography, score and particularly Meg Ryan's surprising performance make it difficult for me to dislike this film. The setup and the ending in particular is poor, and then of course there's all the blatant subtext, but it's still a film I would watch again despite its shortcomings.

Spoiler
I wanted to give In the Cut a 5/10 originally but then I remembered I rated Cabin in the Woods 5/10 (which was probably too generous of a rating) and this film is better than that.

The Lords Of Salem - 8/10

With all the wuzz around this one around here lately, I had to give it a watch, despite the fact that I loathed the Halloween remake Rob Zombie gave us some years back. The good news is that I can't tell that this is the same director/screenwriter at all. LOS reminds me very much of another small indie horror film I watched recently - The House Of The Devil. They have a similar slow burn quality plot wise, use mood and establishes an eerie atmosphere brilliantly. I agree about the cinematography - it's very good, almost ethereal in parts. My favorite imagery might just be when Heidi visits Room 5. Mozart's Requim blasting away when she approaches a demon like entity in what looks like a dreamy Cathedral interior. That's almost Rosemary's Baby brilliance. Sheri Moon Zombie does great work as the lead.

My favorite part of this film?:

Spoiler
Rob Zombie wisely completely throws out any notions about establishing this film in a larger Good vs Evil context, as it is the staple in Hollywood with religious horror thrillers. To add, he also wisely rejects to include some 'hero vs villain' angle, usually culminating in a final reel battle between your typical Arnuld hero waving a crucifix at a some crappy CGI demon. There's no one coming to the rescue (Bruce Davidson's character is taken care of midway through the film), not even Heidi herself seems to be in a state, where she can put of a fight against what's going down.

All this make it a refreshing watch in this sub genre of horror. What all this amounts to - a personal encounter of a woman under the influence of supernatural elements, a tale of revenge or Rob Zombie informing us, that supernatural forces are working and manipulating us all the time and we have no idea of it happening... I don't know. But I sure as hell liked this one.

I haven't seen the early Zombie films - if they are as good as this one, I'll give them a watch. Thanx to Cvalda for making me aware of this little gem. ;)

Post by: Cvalda on May 22, 2013, 05:36:56 PM
Yessssss ;D

His other really good film is The Devil's Rejects. The rest of his stuff is either take it or leave it (I mostly leave it), but that one and this one are very good.

All the critics are really piling on Sheri Moon's performance, which is ridiculous. She does fine work in this and comes across very likable and sympathetic.

Noted... About Sheri Moon Zombie, it might be to my advantage that I didn't know her beforehand, so I immediately bought the character she portrayed. So yeah, I think she did fine.

Incidentally, watching the Rejects trailer on youtube, I also watched a Salem trailer I found and it was... crap. I'm glad the film was very different in mood and pace than what that trailer suggested. :)

Definitely give it a chance then and as I just wrote - the trailer for Salem did the finished film absolutely no favors at all. It just sells the films as your typical crap religious horror film with poor editing, jump scares and atrocious music.

I found it was pretty good about messing with my head.  Sometimes that is the payoff because what is going on in there is non sensical and more frightening than a structured movie that has to have some degree of sense.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Beautiful visuals and effects, but goddamn does it wear on you until the final forty or so (from whenever Spock entered V'Ger's projection area) minutes-- which are just absolutely sensational sci-fi. The technological detailing and jargon are nice when used in moderation and when necessary, but when there's nearly ten minutes devoted to the logistics of destroying an obstacle in warp (a scene that literally -- but contextually -- slows down its rate of motion) the film becomes something of a chore to watch. The scenes with Spock, however, are often elevated above the rest by Leonard Nimoy's excellent stoic, curious, and fascinating performance-- the scene with him in the infirmary recalling the mind meld is strikingly poignant, and among my favorite in the film.

Overall, the final forty minutes, featuring a great twist and an excellent resolution, almost make up for the rest of the often attention-grating film, ending it on a high note.

Aye, the finale is absolutely stunning, and the sequence of Spock entering V'Ger is one of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful things I've seen in any movie. It is very slow, though.

I'd give it another watch a while from now, if I were you. My first viewing was very negative; my second, quite positive. If really grew on me.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

When I left the theater in 2009 after watching J.J Abrams' Star Trek, it put in a bit of a high. I had witnessed something that left me grinning from ear to ear; a massively entertaining film with great characters that rebooted a franchise with legions of fans. Having just watched the newest entry I feel like its 2009 again. I loved Into Darkness, everything about. It was great seeing the crew again after a four year hiatus. Benedict Cumberbatch was fantastic, as was Peter Weller much to my surprise. There was more emotionally powerful moments this time around, involving Kirk, Pike and of course John Harrison. I can't really pick out a favorite moment. Each scene got better and better as the movie progressed.

Twas a blast. Star Wars will be in good hands.

Ah ok - missed it then.

Well, the creature effect is so-so, but at least it's not CGI, nor is it your typical Hollywood rendition of what demons look like in Christian/Judeo-Christian lore.

In all seriousness, there are elements that are the same in Battle Royale and The Hunger Games but they're still both their own thing. And I personally loved The Hunger Games.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Dare I say this was even better than the first movie?

Yes, I do. While J.J. Abrams reimagining of Star Trek was thoroughly entertaining, I do agree with the critics and fans that rasied some complaints about the movie's villain. No such thing to complain about here though, as both Benedict Cumberbatch and [CLASSIFIED] delivered some strong performances, with a well written script to support the characters. Cumberbatch was a pure joy to watch and came off just as menacing behind a wall of glass as he did slaughtering his way through a squad of Klingons. Let's not forget his face to face with Weller. Now that was just crazy. Don't get me wrong though, I liked Nero. But Cumberbatch just worked on a whole other level than Bana.

Into Darkness also packed more of an emotional punch than the last movie. I almost teared up a bit at the end. I think you all know which scene I'm referring to. I hate to complain, but Spock shouting, well, that word, almost ruined it for me. I mean, it was pretty cheesy in the original movie as well.

Spoiler
Pike's death was sad as well. :'(
[close]

Also, two small, but fun moments.

Spoiler
The look of horror on Checkov's face when Kirk told him to switch to a red shirt. :laugh:

Khan being lead onto the Enterprise by a squad of redshirts. Remind anyone else of this scene? ;)

[close]
[close]

And to sum up the things that haven't changed since the last movie; the cast was awesome and just perfect for these characters, the score was wonderful, the action exciting and the whole movie just looked so damn beautiful. Something I really took a liking to was the new look for the warp effect. I loved that dust trail they left behind every time.

All in all, I friggin loved it. ;D

9/10

Seeing the Klingon homeworld was pretty cool as well. That broken moon brought my thoughts right to Oblivion. I don't know much about the Klingons and to be honest, I always thought they looked kind of silly in the show. But I liked what I saw here and while not likely, it would be interesting to see a full out war between the Federation and the Klingons in the third movie.

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn

I know it's technically a webseries, but watching it all extended and pieced together it may as well be a movie. Anyways, I love it. Perfectly captures everything that is Halo with a very engrossing and emotional story.

He said a sign of the quality. Microsoft's backing of it and respect for the franchise will translate and remain the same. Hopefully.

Also, I wouldn't say that FUD perfectly captured everything that Halo is, considering it didn't have many space farring sci-fi elements, mysticism, or Covenant interactions involved, but it probably did the best at taking an observation of UNSC recruits in that position, being first contact with an alien enemy.

I'm sure they will have a different hands-on creative team. But I'm also sure that, aside from serving as a glorified Halo 4 commercial, Forward Unto Dawn was also used to test the water and generate fan response that could impact a potential (now official) live action television show.

Well yeah, definitely agreed there, but then again the story that it told didn't really call for that. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the human element early on in the war, before all of the true motivations and interactions and ancient mythology began to come into the forefront.

Oz the Great and Powerful

Completely underwhelming. Bad CGI - I've seen better CGI on television shows with a modest budget. If James Franco wants people to think he can't act, he's succeeding. I just didn't enjoy it outside of the opening credits and black and white scenes presented in 4:3 ratio in the beginning of the film.

I can't help but compare it to Snow White and the Huntsman which trumps it in every way with its excellent CGI, beautiful score and a fantastic chewing-the-scenery performance from Theron which makes Kunis and Weiss seem pale in comparison.

Halloween (1978)

Or: How to Completely Fail at Babysitting. Starts to run out of steam once Carpenter starts to run out of tricks (door mysteriously opens on its own, someone goes to check it out, Michael Myers comes from the opposite direction, strangle-stab), the ADR overdubbing on most of the dialogue sounds cheesy and distracting, Donald Pleasence is probably stoned and gets all the goofiest lines ("He's gone! He's gone from here! The evil is gone!"), but Carpenter's score and direction are masterful and create some fantastic suspense, and Jamie Lee Curtis is a smart, likeably low-key lead.

It is odd how pretty much any low budget and/or upcoming director, can make a better 'Argento' horror movie than anything Argento has made himself for the last couple of decades. Lords Of Salem has his stylistic fingerprints all over it (especially the dreamy scenes) and it was pretty effing good.

It's John Carpenter all over again...

Bullet to the Head (2013)

About as boring as it gets, I'm afraid. Stallone is okay, but that's about it. There's absolutely no chemistry with Sung Kang, who's playing Detective Kwon. The reason for Kwon teaming up with Stallone is pretty lame to begin with. Something to do with Kwon wanting to arrest the guys who were behind the murder of his now crooked ex-partner. If he was personally invested in it at all (didn't seem like he was), one might think he would have carried a grudge towards Stallone, seeing as how he was the one that put a bullet in the guys head in the beginning of the movie, something Kwon knew all along.

The villains were lackluster. Christian Slater was pretty much just in the movie to spit out some exposition every now and then. I was hoping that Jason Momoa might be a decent match for Stallone, but he failed to entertain as well. Come to think of it, the only thing I really liked Momoa in was GoT, so I might have put a bit too much faith in him based on that alone.

I can't really recommend this to anyone. :(

Bullet to the Head (2013)

About as boring as it gets, I'm afraid. Stallone is okay, but that's about it. There's absolutely no chemistry with Sung Kang, who's playing Detective Kwon. The reason for Kwon teaming up with Stallone is pretty lame to begin with. Something to do with Kwon wanting to arrest the guys who were behind the murder of his now crooked ex-partner. If he was personally invested in it at all (didn't seem like he was), one might think he would have carried a grudge towards Stallone, seeing as how he was the one that put a bullet in the guys head in the beginning of the movie, something Kwon knew all along.

The villains were lackluster. Christian Slater was pretty much just in the movie to spit out some exposition every now and then. I was hoping that Jason Momoa might be a decent match for Stallone, but he failed to entertain as well. Come to think of it, the only thing I really liked Momoa in was GoT, so I might have put a bit too much faith in him based on that alone.

I can't really recommend this to anyone. :(

Dagnabbit.

Superman (1978)

It is with mixed feelings that I revisit the Superman movie of '78. On one hand, there are some excellent performances from Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford and Jackie Cooper, along with a great score, optimistic attitude and enjoyable story. On the other hand, the movie suffers from a lackluster villain and a ending that makes no sense whatsoever.

Let's start with the good things. Christopher Reeve is Superman, it's as simple as that. He embodies everything that's important about the character, from a good and gentle heart, to the striking looks. He seamlessly switches from Superman to Clark Kent and the transformation is so convincing that I have no problem beliving that he could uphold this alter ego without raising too much suspision.

Margot Kidder suffers a great deal from the "damsel in distress" syndrome, but at the same time manages to charm the audicene with her quirky attitude. Marlon Brando injects some warmth into the character of Jor-El, something that is sorely needed given the cold and lifeless nature of the planet Krypton (the Kryptonian set pieces are amazing, by the way). Speaking of father figures, Glenn Ford might not have a lot of screentime, but I really like the scene with him and young Clark. It's a testimony to a great actor when he can take a line as simple as "Oh, no..." and make it as heartbreaking as he did.

Gene Hackman, on the other hand, is not that good. He's not a bad actor by any means, but the character is not very threatening and Hackman's ego getting in the way of having a bald Luthor isn't exactly helping either. And for someone who claims to be the greatest criminal mind of the century, there sure are a lot of ways his plan could have backfired. For example, Superman was fast enough to catch both missiles. Or, you know, he could have just closed the lid on that box of Kryptonite.

Then we have the ending. Even if we accept that Superman could turn back time by rotating the Earth backwards (which makes no sense at all), there's still a problem. When he catches up with Lois at the end of the movie, she's still talking about the earthquake and the gas station blowing up. But if Superman went back in time and took care of the other missile, there should have been no earthquake. And seeing as how Lois was perfectly fine at the end of the movie, there wasn't. Makes no sense, but hey, what can you do?

All in all, it's a fun movie and the good outweighs the bad by a ton. :)

8/10

Happy-Go-Lucky

Poppy is cheerful and optimistic. All the time. As you can imagine, the people she encounters feel exhausted because of this. But it always feels genuine, thanks to Sally Hawkins' wonderful performance. The film is largely about how different people deal with a person like Poppy - it's tragic seeing her inspiring personality met with such harsh reactions. Enter Scott, the polar opposite of Poppy...

I'm afraid I can't say more than that without giving the story away, although it's less about the ending and more about the journey. Now that I think of it, Happy-Go-Lucky is just like Young Adult in terms of pace and the way it's laid out as a character study - although Poppy and Mavis couldn't be more different from one another.

An inspiring feel-good film that isn't naive. And the ending was perfect.

9/10

Superman II (1980)

This is Ghostbusters all over again. When I was a kid, I preferred the sequel to the original, but as I've grown up, it's the other way around. Now, Superman II is not without its charm. Christoper Reeve is once again the perfect Superman and Kidder is decent as Lois Lane. But the supporting cast falls kind of flat, especially when it comes to the villains. While Zod has become a memorable villain, he's neither commanding nor very threatening in this.

There was some weird stuff in the first Superman movie, but it just went into overdrive in this one. What's with all the new powers popping up? Telekinesis, teleportation, holograms, plastic S-shield and that god awful mind wipe kiss. It's like the writer went nuts and paid no attention to what belonged in a Superman movie or not.

I understand that the special effects department was a bit limited in the early 80's, but they could really have done a better job when it comes to the fight scenes. When two Kryptonians go up against each other, you should really feel it. What we got here was a soft pushing contest. There was no force behind anything.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Michael Shannon's take on Zod in Man of Steel now.

7/10

I think there was actually something about the distribution where some areas' copies were indeed brighter.

I've only ever seen the movie once, and it was on TV. So I can't really comment personally on the theater of Blu Ray viewing experiences.

Behind the Candelabra (2013)

Dazzling, committed lead performance by Michael Douglas as Liberace and solid supporting work from Matt Damon as his exploited boytoy. Well made and refreshingly frank (no cowardly Oscar bait cop outs here) until the disappointingly forced and sentimental ending.

8/10

Superman II (1980)

This is Ghostbusters all over again. When I was a kid, I preferred the sequel to the original, but as I've grown up, it's the other way around. Now, Superman II is not without its charm. Christoper Reeve is once again the perfect Superman and Kidder is decent as Lois Lane. But the supporting cast falls kind of flat, especially when it comes to the villains. While Zod has become a memorable villain, he's neither commanding nor very threatening in this.

There was some weird stuff in the first Superman movie, but it just went into overdrive in this one. What's with all the new powers popping up? Telekinesis, teleportation, holograms, plastic S-shield and that god awful mind wipe kiss. It's like the writer went nuts and paid no attention to what belonged in a Superman movie or not.

I understand that the special effects department was a bit limited in the early 80's, but they could really have done a better job when it comes to the fight scenes. When two Kryptonians go up against each other, you should really feel it. What we got here was a soft pushing contest. There was no force behind anything.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Michael Shannon's take on Zod in Man of Steel now.

7/10

I pretty much agree with you. Never liked that hick cop character either. That actor used the same shtick in Live and Let Die.

For me, the big problem with the movie is that I profoundly disagree with the lesson Superman has to learn in it. I see no reason why he can't be Superman and have a personal life as well. And the fact that he's basically doing this because a prerecorded message from his mother told him to makes him look like a completely whipped mama's boy.

Oh, and I almost forgot that Brando got cut of this because the producers were too cheap to pay him twice. That pisses me off to no end.

Star Trek

Gods damn, I love this movie. Watching it on my home theatre for the first time in a long time, with the volume cranked up, it brought back memories of me seeing it on the silver screen. Just a wonderful sci-fi film, from start to finish. Sure, it has plot holes, but the movie is so much fun, the emotional core so strong, the cast chemistry so palpable, and the presentation so perfect and polished, that I simply don't care about them. My love for Michael Giacchino's beautiful score only grows the more I hear it, and the emotional scenes seem to affect me more with each subsequent viewing. The one thing I can think of that could improve this film would be giving Nero more development. The scenes he was in were incredibly memorable, and Bana's performance as he detailed Nero's past was fantastic, I just wished he could've been more fleshed out, giving Bana even more to work with.

Also, more McCoy.

Other than those two minor grievances, this film comes damned close to being my perfect cinematic experience.


Damnit, now I wanna watch Into Darkness again...

How come the Narada could take out seven Federation ships in a couple of minutes, when it took around five minutes or so to finish of the USS Kelvin in the beginning. I get that they arrived with shields down, but they still should have been able to put up more of a fight. :-\

Why did it take the Narada so long to arrive on Earth? It only took the Enterprise three minuntes to go from Earth to Vulcan?

It's such a small universe. It's Star Trek by the way of Spielberg being summoned by JJ Abrams. :P Just dont think too much or the entire movie comes down.. it's that kind of movie. :P

Had spent the past 25 years upgrading and improving their weaponry and shields, is my guess.

It didn't take the Enterprise three minutes; they only showed three minutes of the voyage for movie purposes.

Unless there was some dialogue that specifically mentioned 'three minutes' which I don't remember.

Leviathan 1989. (9/10)

DeepStar Six 1989. (7/10)

Watched them both last night.

These movies are surprisingly enjoyable- screw what the critics say, cause I personally had fun watching these two.

Leviathan's much better to me though: cause it's got fraggin' Colonel Trautman, Robocop, Winston Zeddemore and Marv. Plus it's like Carpenter's The THING- one of my Favourite movies of all time.

DSS is still enjoyable, but wtf is with the monster? I like the design- but what's with the eyes? It looks like it belongs on the Muppets show!  :D

I guess its easy to assume that whatever trap Nero had set obliterated the fleet and, when the Enterprise arrived (even though it was only three minutes later), the pieces that Nero had set were used up.

Conan the Barbarian (original)

One of my favourite Arnie movies. Certainly one of my favourite 80s action movies, despite a surprising lack of action for most of the film's runtime. There's something about it I just love despite all its flaws -- its flabby pacing in the first half, some laughably bad effects, its often cringe-worthy performances.

It's big silly fun, but in the best ways. It's not just big, it's grand. It's not just fun, it's thoroughly entertaining. The scope of it. The Mountain of Power. The teeming masses of Doom's children. Arnie, larger than life. The music, seemingly ripped from a far more serious, artistic endeavor. James Earl Jones' eyes chewing scenery. James Earl Jones' voice, not to mention his performance, lending weight and substance to an otherwise dull, one-note villain with nothing but a few memorable lines to make him stand out. The battle of the mounds and its accompanying score will always remain one of my favourite action sequences.

It might meander in places, its effects might fall short; it is not, by any stretch, one of the great films. But by the end of that movie, when Conan inevitably hacks Doom's head messily from his shoulders; when the cultists throw down their torches and leave; when Conan himself walks away from the burning temple with the almost wholly inconsequential princess, you feel you've been on a motherf**king adventure.

In comparison to the other films, this is by far the weakest, it can't even hold a f**king candle to the rest, which is quite sad seeing as how the other films are already bad.

The best way to watch RE: Retribution is to watch the opening credits on as big a screen as possible with the best sound system you can muster, then turn off the film, put on the soundtrack, and do literally anything else. Watching wallpaper dry while listening to the OST would be more enjoyable than actually watching the film.

The Qatsi Trilogy

Not a single word is uttered in any of these three films - ultimately, it's up to the viewer to interpret each in his/her own way. There is a theme present and that's conveyed by the title but Godfrey Reggio lets the visuals do the talking backed by a beautiful score thanks to the wonderfully talented Philip Glass.

There's not much more I can say. It's a very individual experience. If you've seen Life in a Day, it's a lot like that - glimpses of life. Except the footage isn't all from the same day and it's a lot more focused thematically, which makes for a more rewarding experience.

Koyaanisqatsi - 8/10
Powaqqatsi - 7/10
Naqoyqatsi - 7/10
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Jun 02, 2013, 05:42:56 PM
Yesss >:3

I'd personally give them:
Koyaanisqatsi - 10/10
Powaqqatsi - 8/10
Naqoyqatsi - 7/10

Only 2001 rivals Koyaanisqatsi for sheer visual spectacle. Glad you liked the third one, too -- a lot of people hate it for some reason and bitch about it not being anywhere near as good as the first two. It's just different is all. :P

Laurel Canyon

A couple, Sam and Alex, move to Los Angeles to grow in their careers. They plan to stay in his mother's vacant home in Laurel Canyon but, with a change of plans, the mother who is a free-spirited record producer sticks around trying to finish an album with her boyfriend and his band.

Sam is starting his residency in Psychiatry and Alex stays at the house working on her M.D.-Ph.D. dissertation on Genomics. And Sam's mother, Jane, is busy partying working on the album. Alex finds herself becoming more and more intrigued with Jane's free-spirited lifestyle and starts spending more time with her and the band, smoking a few joints and partying it up. Naturally, Sam isn't thrilled that his mother is still around being a bad influence, so he wants Alex to find a place of their own. At work a fellow resident catches Sam's attention - and this only adds further strain to his relationship with Alex.

At its best, the film is an interesting character study and is about the strained relationships between all the characters and them finding themselves. At its worst, we see clichéd characters and situations that are a little too convenient.

I do think there's a good film in here somewhere but it's difficult to enjoy a film that you can predict from 10 minutes in. However, Frances McDormand makes the film watchable with her great performance.

5/10

Martha Marcy May Marlene
Character study about a girl struggling to adjust to life outside a cult. Very slow paced, but well plotted and quite subtly executed - a lot can be conveyed by a simple expression or brief dialogue exchange. You empathise well with her thanks to a great performance, though I think the film skimps on exposition about why she joined the cult in the first place (it's not hard to figure out, but isn't shown properly or spelt out). On the whole it's a decent piece of cinema, but aside from the cleverly ambiguous ending, it doesn't hold many surprises.
8/10

Seven Psychopaths
Did you think Avatar's plot was too similar to Dances With Wolves or Ferngully? Then Seven Psychopaths IS Adaptation, through a prism of Tarantino-esque violence and absurdity. Has a handful of good jokes, and I loved the backdrop of the American deserts, but this isn't a patch on In Bruges; you only see vague flickers of that film's quality, and none of its originality.

Pffffffft.


Alien Resurrection (1997)

This film is a complete mess.

...But it's a spectacularly bizarre and perverse mess, completely unlike anything else a Hollywood franchise has ever really put out since (the film ends with an A-list actress making out with her mutant half alien grandchild, for chrissake). It is less an extension of the original trilogy as it is a freakishly distorted funhouse mirror version of them -- as if James Cameron's Aliens passed through one of those teleporters from The Fly and came out fused with Delicatessen, only bigger, bloodier and with a penchant for human-alien incest. Yes, it is true that the film's script is (mostly) disappointing (and if you think its bad now, you should read Joss Whedon's original drafts before Jeunet re-invisioned it all--yikes). For every great idea like Ripley's "enhanced" genetics, quasi-sapphic relationship with Winona Ryder, and the hideous, failed clone forerunners "1-7", there are stupid stock characters and bad one-liners aplenty (Raymond Cruz is so unbearably obnoxious that it's a highlight of the film when he gets his skull crushed into a pulp).

The designs for the aliens are, alas, also a step in the wrong direction, especially seeing as how elegant the design was in Alien 3--here the titular beasts looks like exaggerated comic book versions of their former selves, but seeing as the creatures this time around are cloned genetic freaks it's at least consistent. Ditto the much reviled Newborn, which while by no means a great design, is at least functionally repulsive and works as the monstrosity it's supposed to be.

But there is much to enjoy here: Weaver is in exceptionally fine form, re-inventing Ripley 8 as a disturbed, ageless Amazon warrior who gradually rediscovers her humanity through Winona Ryder's android-cum-Crying Game-metaphor, and while Ryder may not give the most convincing line readings, they make for a cute pairing as the two hold each other for dear life at the film's conclusion. Elsewhere, Brad Dourif is in prime scene stealing mode, making kissy faces at aliens behind glass and exiting the picture in memorably crazy fashion. Darius Khondji's cinematography is gorgeous, all amber surfaces and rich blues and blacks, and while Jean-Pierre Jeunet's weirdo black humor grates with the material on occasion, his sense of style (the fade-outs during Ripley's awakening are an exceptionally nice touch), framing, and eye for memorable visuals and set pieces cannot be denied. The underwater chase sequence is one of the funnest of the series, and Ripley's absorption into the "viper pit" one of its strongest images. Best of all, Resurrection expands on the first film's nasty sexual fixations in ways the other sequels were too afraid or preoccupied to: there is a lovely scene where Ripley sensuously snuggles up to one of her alien brethren, and the ending features the strangest make-out session in cinema. Replacing Alien 3 as the fanboy punching bag, Alien Resurrection is perhaps even more divisive than its predecessor, but it flies its freak flag proudly, and in the wake of the disastrous AVP films and the dire, self-important fan bait of Prometheus, is a reminder of when the series wasn't afraid to push boundaries or confound typical blockbuster expectations.

7/10

Alien Resurrection: 4/10

There are a lot of memorable scenes in it, it has a great score, it's very well directed and it looks amazing, the creature design is quite intriguing and apropriately horrifying and it has a really good performance by Siggy.

It also has one of the dumbest scripts that has ever graced the Alien franchise.

Why do they use human hosts instead of livestock? Why do they breed lots of aliens and put them in cages that arent acid proof? Why do the aliens kill one of their own to escape when they can spit acid? When Perez gets killed, why doesnt the soldier next to him shoot the alien? It goes on and on and on and on and on.......

So much of the blame lies on Joss Whedon that it's really funny to see him trying to pin the blame on the director..... A complete mess of a film.

Sy Fy did an edit of Alien Res that got rid of just about all the gore scenes. 

I thought it was actually a superior movie because the gore scenes are so tied into humor in Alien Res that I found it offputting when compared to the others in the series.

No Perez pulling his brain out and looking at it, frozen guy is just frozen, Distephano has chance to see newborn and it cuts to the next scene, Wren scene is left up to the imagination.

It felt much quicker and less drawn out.

More along the lines of the Aliens TC pace.

Conan the Barbarian (original)

Spoiler
One of my favourite Arnie movies. Certainly one of my favourite 80s action movies, despite a surprising lack of action for most of the film's runtime. There's something about it I just love despite all its flaws -- its flabby pacing in the first half, some laughably bad effects, its often cringe-worthy performances.

It's big silly fun, but in the best ways. It's not just big, it's grand. It's not just fun, it's thoroughly entertaining. The scope of it. The Mountain of Power. The teeming masses of Doom's children. Arnie, larger than life. The music, seemingly ripped from a far more serious, artistic endeavor. James Earl Jones' eyes chewing scenery. James Earl Jones' voice, not to mention his performance, lending weight and substance to an otherwise dull, one-note villain with nothing but a few memorable lines to make him stand out. The battle of the mounds and its accompanying score will always remain one of my favourite action sequences.

It might meander in places, its effects might fall short; it is not, by any stretch, one of the great films. But by the end of that movie, when Conan inevitably hacks Doom's head messily from his shoulders; when the cultists throw down their torches and leave; when Conan himself walks away from the burning temple with the almost wholly inconsequential princess, you feel you've been on a motherf**king adventure.

"If you do not listen, then to hell with you!"/10
[close]
Totally agree with you. And Basil Poledouris was churning out gold with that score. The scene with Doom's forces charging towards Conan's village accompanied by the score has always been one of my favorite parts.

Battlestar Galactica: Razor Unrated Extended Edition

Well that was interesting. Lots of cool background on some of the short lived characters of the second season. I really liked the scene with young Adama during the first Cylon war (and seeing the Cylons from the old series was quite cool).

Also, the Hybrid's revelation was fantastic. Especially after having finished Season 3 earlier today.

World's Greatest Dad (2009)

After his son accidentally kills himself while masturbating, Lance (Robin Williams) an unsuccessful writer sets out to change his son's reputation and how people viewed him by writing a journal and passing it off as his son's work. I absolutely loved this. Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait (God Bless America) it has that same ever present dark humor that was found in GBA. It's hilariously funny and has so much truth to it. One of the best parts is in the last act, which includes Queen's Under Pressure and Robin Williams jumping off a diving board butt ass naked.

You are an asshole.

Kon-Tiki (2012)

It makes perfect sense that the directors of Kon-Tiki have now been signed to direct the latest installment in the decrepit, useless Pirates of the Caribbean series -- this is exactly the kind of film aspiring foreign filmmaker sellouts make to get their way into some sweet, sweet Hollywood shit money. Here is a film about the epic real life journey undertaken by a delusional, self-absorbed crackpot to "prove" his hypothesis that Polynesia was not in fact settled from Asia, but from Peru -- half a world away (in reality, his journey proved nothing except that his hypothesis was possible, not that it actually happened, and modern science has resoundingly discredited all his assertions). But rather than make an interesting, insightful film about a narcissist very probably leading himself and other men to certain doom, Kon-Tiki is about a spirited, inspiring dreamer who manages to overcome the odds and prove everyone wrong, gosh darnit! Cue mawkish flashbacks to his childhood for some cheap Freudian excuses (which will inevitably be reprised at the climax for extra Hollywood 101 points), extended scenes of him being rejected by arrogant publishers and scientists to make his eventual triumph tidily telegraphed, and even a scene where the principal characters are all introduced and have their basic character traits literally spelled out to the audience, because actual characterization is for chumps ("This is Jorn -- his only weaknesses are women and whiskey!").

But that's not even this film's biggest failing; that would be turning a real-life journey across the entire Pacific Ocean on a balsa wood raft -- allegedly including encounters with swarms of great white sharks, giant bioluminescent sea monsters, and hurricanes -- into a cliched, tension and wonder-free saga of a bunch of blonde buff Norwegians griping at each other over whether they think the raft will hold ("The raft will fall apart!" "No it wont!" "Look! It's falling apart!" "No it isn't!"). Even the appearance of the sea monster from the book is over and done with in literally ten seconds, and while the CGI great white sharks are beautifully rendered, the visual effects are often overdone and distracting, especially in a ludicrous scene where the camera pulls out from the raft all the way out into space, and then back again. Ugh.

This has always been one of my favorite films.  We recently got it on DVD and what they went through to make this was unbelievable.  This is THE most realistic film ever made.  Not only were the special effects good, but the fleshing out of characters and environment was superb.  They felt like real people in a real situation.  One of the only movies where I can say that that I forgot these were famous actors.  AND DEM STEAK AND EGGS AND MASHED PATATAS.

Chernobyl Diaries

S.T.A.L.K.E.R./Resident Evil 4 the movie, it was alright. However when the mutants finally came out and there was only 40 minutes left (best part of the movie btw, constant RE 4 style tension) to the movie and only 5 characters remaining I'm pretty sure anybody could tell how this would end. :P

And now I want to play some Fallout...

Chronicle

This on the other hand was f**king awesome, much better than I expected.

Speaking of Charlton Hestmun...

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

Of all the goofy, broad-strokes Lovecraft pastiches that arose during the 80s and 90s, this one's probably the best, undoubtedly goofy and broad though it still may be. Takes the dumb, tired old "famous horror author's stories are actually true!" trope and does some genuinely clever things with it. John Carpenter's last pretty good film.

7/10

The Great Gatsby (2013)

A friend and I went to try to see a 7:30 showing last night and it was packed. There was a line trailing out the front doors. By the time we actually got to the counter, there was one row of seats left, so we opted to wait for the next showing an hour later.

I have never, ever seen a movie so packed. And it's not even opening week. Just an utter mass of 20-somethings lining up out the door to see this film. It was insane. Even the showing an hour later had more people in it than I'm used to seeing in a theater. It was insane.

As for the film itself, I don't know what to say. It's good. It works. Luhrmann's style bothered me in places, and I didn't care for the utter artificial look to everything, althoug I guess that's easy to pass off on stylistic decisions given the subject matter. Carey Mulligan actually managed to emote something other than mild constipation for a few minutes in the middle there, and my friend didn't want to murder Tobey Maguire. Leo just got better as the film went along.

... I should probably read the book at some point.

Spent the entire movie just expecting Joel Edgerton to snap someone in half, no seriously, that dude looks beast in the film/10

Australia is rubbish.  Cliched wasted opportunity.  It should've been a love letter to the Australian landscape in the way LOTR was to NZ.  The Mad Max films do a better job of that, and Nicole Kidman gets more wooden the older she gets.

It's a Baz Luhrman film -- of course it was going to be a hyperstylized pastiche of Golden Era matinee epics, not some scenery porn tourist ad. And Kidman is a brilliant actress when she's not paying the bills with crap like Bewitched and Trespass.

And of course Luhrmann didn't partner up with Tourism Australia for a major tourist campaign- oh wait...

Last decent thing Kidman did was Moulin Rouge.  Before that, BMX Bandits.

Of course, it's in the title. Would be foolish not too. Film itself isn't a glorified tourist ad, though, and all the better for it.

Fact: 90% of acting is done with the forehead. To act well, your forehead must constantly be in an advanced stage of wrinkled age.

This is probably going to be your new favorite movie:

Next up on our trip to acting school, Professor Mark McGreen teaches us that you can act with your entire face, but explains that bringing that much to a role is too much of a good thing. Followed immediately after by Dr. Hans Indrich, whose pioneering work in the science of acting shows how to get away with not using your hands.

That's one more expression than Kidman can do right there.  And Natto's forehead can actually move.

Snitch

Very interesting based on a true story film. I went into it knowing bugger all about the film, never knew it had Dwayne Johnston or Jon Bernthal in it. Was quite fast paced, never really had any moments where I would be confused about the story or found myself bored.

Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone
Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance
Evangelion: 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo

I was initially going to wait a day and let the Rebuild of Evangelion films simmer in my mind but then I realised that posting a review in a day from now isn't going to be doing the films any more justice. It really is something to be experienced and discussed. And now I understand the appeal of watching the series and films more than once. Doing so would provide a richer experience and allow the viewer to pick up on visual links between NGE and the Rebuilds or even links between dialogue.

The first two rebuild films pretty much feel like they could be paired up together. On one level they are a retelling of NGE and on another they're sequels - and as confusing as that may sound, it starts to make sense (especially when you have some guidance from hardcore Evangelion fans). And then comes the third rebuild with a major shift in tone and throwing you in the deep end, putting you in Shinji's shoes. And yet, even with the tonal shift, it feels like a natural progression following the events of the second film.

I can't say too much without veering off into spoiler territory... so I'll give you the standard breakdown:

The visuals are striking, ambitious and inspired. The audio is out of this world and a huge improvement on NGE. It's an engaging story with wonderful flawed characters that is a lot more mature than it may let on in the early episodes of the series. If you go into the series with an open mind, it pays off in End of Evangelion and the rebuild films. If you automatically write Evangelion off as something for kids, you couldn't be more wrong. It's one of the most mature, ambitious animated properties I've seen.

I'm glad I gave the rebuild films a chance which provide a very interesting contrasted experience to the series and are possibly even more spectacular than the series. And yet without the series, it would feel a lot less rewarding.

The first two rebuild films pretty much feel like they could be paired up together. On one level they are a retelling of NGE and on another they're sequels - and as confusing as that may sound, it starts to make sense (especially when you have some guidance from hardcore Evangelion fans). And then comes the third rebuild with a major shift in tone and throwing you in the deep end, putting you in Shinji's shoes. And yet, even with the tonal shift, it feels like a natural progression following the events of the second film.

I can't say too much without veering off into spoiler territory... so I'll give you the standard breakdown:

The visuals are striking, ambitious and inspired. The audio is out of this world and a huge improvement on NGE. It's an engaging story with wonderful flawed characters that is a lot more mature than it may let on in the early episodes of the series. If you go into the series with an open mind, it pays off in End of Evangelion and the rebuild films. If you automatically write Evangelion off as something for kids, you couldn't be more wrong. It's one of the most mature, ambitious animated properties I've seen.

I'm glad I gave the rebuild films a chance which provide a very interesting contrasted experience to the series and are possibly even more spectacular than the series. And yet without the series, it would feel a lot less rewarding.

Albert Nobbs (2011)

Glenn Close's lifelong passion project (read: GIVE ME MY OSCAR) about a quiet, middle aged Irish hotel waiter who falls for a pretty young maid (Mia Wasikowska) and gets the idea in his head that he's going to marry her and open up a tobacco shop -- despite the fact that he was born a woman and lives in terror of being found out. Starts off promisingly, but Close's performance is weirdly uneven, the third act is a total disaster, and the whole thing unfortunately comes off feeling very sub-Neil Jordan.

5/10

The Vistas and scenary in the movie are outstanding and all the performances are great imo.

The action is just insane and no matter how many times i see it there are parts that make me think inside my head 'holy f**k i love that'

It doesnt matter as a criticism against it. And both Princess of Mars and Avatar have anti-colonial/anti-racism worldviews anyway. :P

But it is a good summation of the trope... Where are the stories of colored men and women, or even gay or bisexual men and women going to alien planets, saving and marrying the princess (or prince) and saving the day? :P Because these sort of stories started out as wish fulfillment fantasies written by white men. :P

You're missing the point. The White Savior or Mighty White trope is so often mocked because it's basically pretty racist -- only a white (always male) person can save the poor savages from other white people/and or their own native problems, because even though he doesn't live there or have any experience there he is so much more naturally gifted than they are because he is white.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: BANE on Jun 08, 2013, 06:04:24 PM
And if it were a black person (or any other nationality for that matter, man or woman) it'd still be racist, as it's humans in general thinking they know better than the native species.

It'd just be Pocahontas with a black or Asian man or woman instead.

Which would turn out like the Canadian Sherlock, Elementary, where they replaced Watson with an Asian woman for no apparent reason other than to 'be progressive'. It doesn't improve anything, the dynamic isn't better than the acclaimed BBC version, and the only reason to do it is greed, hoping that the diversity will get more viewers.

I guess the solution would be that those people should write stories about themselves (like the 'white men' did) and stop complaining about others not writing about them.

Will & Grace (self explanatory), Star Trek: TNG (Patrick Stewart), Vicious (Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi), QI (Stephen Fry), Modern Family (Jesse Tyler Ferguson actually is gay, Eric Stonestreet (who isn't) plays his gay partner). Off the top of my head in terms of TV shows with gay people as leads. In terms of shows with other nationalities, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (now off air, but that's still a massive show), Hannibal (Laurence Fishburne plays the head of the behavioural science unit; Will and Hannibal are the two main leads, with Jack being slightly behind and always a major character), Community, Curb Your Enthusiasm (the last four years, with Leon being almost as much a lead as Larry).

We're talking about gay lead characters, that was obvious -- so you've got Will & Grace and Vicious. And then you throw in a game show just because Stephen Fry hosts, and a show where the gay characters aren't the leads. That was a pretty pathetic lineup.

Also, uh, Patrick Stewart is straight.

Hannibal certainly doesn't count because Laurence Fishburne is most definitely not the lead, he's the token black secondary character. And Community is an ensemble show where Joel Mchale gets top billing. And Curb Your Enthusiasm is Larry David's show, no matter how much you awkwardly try and skew it as actually being about a black guy.

So yeah, you have a very weird definition of "plenty" -- unless you mean to say two of the shows you mentioned actually qualifying is plenty, in which case you're kind of a bigoted jerk.

The Call

Halle Berry starring in a film with a $13 million budget - it doesn't exactly sound promising considering her last good film was a decade ago. But, much to my surprise, I was entertained from start to finish. It was one hell of a ride with great suspense and intensity.

Halle delivers her finest performance in years along with two really solid performances by Michael Eklund and an unrecognisable Abigail Breslin.

The film has a campy quality to it that feels just right. And for only $13 million, it looks surprisingly great. I'll admit that I was starting to shake my head close to the end of the film but then something amazing happened.

And when the credits were rolling, I wanted to stand up and cheer. It's a film that could have very easily been a chore to sit through. And with Halle Berry (who is not exactly one of my favourite actresses) in the lead role, it could have just been adding insult to injury. But instead I was pleasantly surprised that I had a great time.

I will very proudly display this film on my shelf next to some other underrated gems and cult films. There are a few small changes I would have made but it was not enough to ruin my viewing of The Call.

8/10

Dead Man Down

A predictable crime thriller that takes itself too seriously. The gloomy cinematography is gorgeous and the start of the film is promising but the film gradually descends with each passing minute into something messy and average at best. What saves this film from being a complete disaster is the lovely pairing of Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace, and equally solid performances from both.

I can't help but think that this film was made with the intentions of being a date movie that you will forget about the next day.

Spoiler
Oh, and we're supposed to believe that a group of kids will taunt Noomi Rapace by calling her a "monster" and throw rocks at her because of a few scars on her face.

I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. While the premise is extremely unrealistic, it's not hard to get past and just sit back and enjoy the movie. The movie is violent and brutal enough to make some viewers cringe. It is suspenseful and high octane in all the right places. A memorable performance by Ethan Hawke wraps it up into an entertaining package.

I just get tired of that as a criticism. Films don't get more interesting just because the lead's not white.
You're missing the point. The White Savior or Mighty White trope is so often mocked because it's basically pretty racist -- only a white (always male) person can save the poor savages from other white people/and or their own native problems, because even though he doesn't live there or have any experience there he is so much more naturally gifted than they are because he is white.

See I know these films can come off like that,but personally I dont see it as racist,I have no racist views at all. When I see these films I see the protaginast joining the natives and winning becuase he/she comes from the side that is more technologically advanced and shares the information and develops tactics to over come them,not becuase of race or skin colour but because of information that they would have never known about otherwise. giving the native race a upper hand that the otherside didnt expect.  :)

Avatar can easily be seen as a white guy's journey into shedding his "white guilt".. and eventually shedding his own race and species behind. He fully goes native and leaves the "awful greedy white people". :laugh: The Princess of Mars book is a very thinly veiled story about the need for more peaceful cooperation between races, written in a very racist time. "the red men of mars" are basically an allegory for the native americans and the protagonist is heartbroken when he eventually finds himself back in the less advanced "white american civilization". Despite having the "damsel in distress" trope and playing it with a straight face, it was easily a progressive book for it's time. Not all stories of this sort are racist but there's a definite need for more stories with diverse lead characters and from more diverse points of view than just STRAIGHT, SINGLE YOUNG WHITE MALE. :P

But the tides are slowly changing: the new Avengers comic book has a mainly black cast. And the new X-Men book features an all women cast. The new Spider-man is of Black-Latino descent. A point to comics. :P

The Exorcist - Director's Cut (1973)

One of the best horror movies ever made. Linda Blair delivers a fantastic performance as the possessed Regan. The rest of the cast deserve praise for their work as well. It's been a while since the last time I saw it and I didn't remember that Max von Sydow had so little screentime. It would have been interesting to get to know something about his previous encounter with the demon, without having to watch the mediocre prequel from 2004.

The film manages to be scary without reducing itself to cheap jump scares. The spider walk scene is one of the most horrifying scenes I have ever seen. The score is wonderful and really helps to establish an unsettling mood throughout the film.

9/10

If you want to know more about Merrin's backstory, there's a few other options. Exorcist 2 touches on it, but the movie sucks. Then there's Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist, which got shit canned by the studio and replaced with The Beginning. It's far from perfect, but decent enough. It really suffers from Morgan Creek not giving them enough money to finish it.

The Purge-6/10

A surprisingly solid flick that dabbles with the dynamics of human nature with a tad of surrealism. Thankfully, it wasn't a slasher film or gore fest. There actually wasn't a lot of that at all.

Spoiler
Well, for example the movie is centered around a family (really just the young son) saving a homeless man from being killed by letting him into their armored house. Even though he was in the house, he somehow didn't get very much screen time, and wasn't developed quite enough to make his eventual function as effective as it should've been.

Plus, there was really no main villain, which normally wouldn't be a problem. But the film focused on one guy that was a leader of a murderous group for a while and made him look like a main villain, but then he was killed pretty quickly.

And there was some sort of government mind control business didn't come off right to me.

But overall it was pretty good, especially since the trailer made it seem like pointless trash. Doesn't paint a pretty picture of human nature though.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Teenagehood favourite of mine, not quite as keen on it now though. I hadn't noticed how much the emphasis on sexual allegory owes to The Company Of Wolves, and the film does often feel more Neil Jordan than Francis Ford Coppola (not a criticism, just an observation). Like the book, Dracula fascinates through the first two thirds, but plods limply through the final act.

Curious production - some gorgeous imagery, and surreal presentation, but there's a strangely creaky feeling of it being a relic of a previous era. If the makeup wasn't so outstanding and the editing so decisive, it'd seem to me like a movie from 20 years earlier.
Gary Oldman puts on a bit of a masterclass in the title role, and I think Keanu Reeves' Jonathan Harker is misunderstood - he's intended to come across as dimwitted and oblivious. Sadie Frost makes a truly glorious tart. Tom Waits doesn't play lunatic thrall Renfield anything like I'd imagined him, and the character is largely lost in the film (which is acceptable, as he's disconnected from most of the other events. And doubly acceptable as I don't like Waits' performance).

One final thing - I have a vague suspicion that the first time I ever saw this film, it was a much gorier cut. However, I've only ever encountered this version since then, so it may just have been that I was very young and easily freaked out at the time.

Unf, yes! And the cinematography is gorgeous. The only reason it didn't get 10/10 is because I think it could use a little more meat story wise - but it's not devoid of substance.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)

Silly-but-cool Cameron-esque New Age scifi story with beautiful visual designs and a genuinely epic, Wagnerian score by Elliot Goldenthal, that gets bogged down by truly atrocious dialogue and characterization, and the idiotic decision to use instantly dated CGI human characters that make the film now look less like a $150 million movie than it does a newer X-Box game.

The Rock

Nic Cage. Michael Biehn. Ed Harris. Scottish f**k who shall not be named. SPLOSIONS.

In many ways a truly terrible film, in which subtlety, humility and common sense are alien concepts, and people only talk to shout, threaten or insult each other. Biehn and Harris are pretty much the only actors playing it straight, with everyone else either hamming it up (which, when we're talking about Cage, is a fine thing) or phoning it in (guess who the main offender is there).

Yet there's something strangely watchable about it. There's definitely a so-bad-it's-good factor working for it, and it also features some of the best action I've seen Michael Bay direct. You can follow what's going on, which certainly helps...

6/10, which is at least two better than it should logically get.

Holy. Shit.

I was expecting this to be a laughably bad hot mess, considering its tepid reception and its direct-to-video fate in Europe, but no -- De Palma clearly intended this to be his comeback film, and he is firing on all deranged cylinders (yes, there is even split screen). At about the point Noomi Rapace discovers that her arch-nemesis Rachel McAdams has a fetish for creepy sex masks and f**king her boyfriends with a strap on, you know you're in for a good time. The first two acts are Showgirls-level brilliant (and the story itself is basically Showgirls transposed to an ad agency); masterfully directed trash of ludicrously epic proportions, with a tour de force lead from Noomi, an amazing score from De Palma's longtime collaborator Pino Donaggio (that simultaneously channels Ravel, sleazy 80s porn music and Ennio Morricone's The Thing -- seriously), and the best cinematography I've seen in ages (the cheap looking stills do not prepare you for how gorgeous the film looks). It all builds to a third act of such stupendously silly ridiculousness that it must be seen to be believed.

This is the End

I am genuinely surprised that I had so much fun with this movie, seeing as (21 Jump Street aside) I've never been particularly fond of the type of comedy that these guys usually do.

The start had me feeling kind of indifferent and had me a bit nervous for what was to come with the rest of the movie, but what followed got progressively better and better with each scene. Lots of good laughs to be found in the movie, and some really cool in-jokes about the actors' lives. I particularly dug all of the 'artsy' jabs at James Franco. On a side note, I was surprised at how cool the creatures/demons and a certain character-centric effects shot looked given that they weren't really the focal point of the movie, but then I saw Greg Nicotero's name in the credits and all made sense :P

James Franco's death scene was amazing :D

Well, considering my non-appreciation for Showgirls, I'm slightly worried about that comparison. :P But if it hits all the right notes like the promo material leads me to believe, I'm sure I'll be in for a great time. 8)

I actually watched a few seconds of it (which I believe takes place halfway through the film) and it got me so curious. Just seeing Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace in that short amount of time sold me on the film.

Spoiler
All I saw was footage of what seemed to be Noomi's character kicking a car out of frustration in a parking garage and Rachel's character laughing condescendingly as she was playing this footage for her party guests. I may be off but that's what it seemed like to me anyway.

She was one of the few good things about Dead Man Down. She somehow made me believe she was truly ashamed and that she was being tortured by a group of kids for looking like a monster after being scarred by an accident - even though she looked far from hideous. :-\ Seriously, she still looked beautiful in that film. But her performance was great and felt authentic.

If her performance is any better than her performance throughout the Millennium trilogy, then it's a guarantee I'm going to love this.

My favorite thing about it is that it is shot, lit and edited EXACTLY like one of his 70s films -- crossfades between scenes, melodramatic, Hitchcockian lighting and score, rapid zooms, etc. Just a dazzling technical display aside from the great acting and deliciously trashy story.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

Passion

First of all, I'm truly impressed by both Rachel McAdams (who hasn't made a good film choice since Mean Girls) and Noomi Rapace. But this is really Noomi's film with her brilliant dominating performance which would be Academy-Award worthy if the Academy actually gave a film like this the time of day.

A campy and sexy Hitchcockian thriller with beautiful cinematography, an equally beautiful soundtrack and a solid supporting cast. De Palma's first good film in a decade which is just as campy as Femme Fatale but a lot more rewarding. As the credits rolled, I felt like I had just been seduced and I wasn't sure if I should hate myself for cheering either of the characters on. But it was such a wonderful ride that I would love to be seduced again.

This film isn't perfect and I would definitely tone down on a certain element that was used more than once and that lost its effect, especially around the end of the film. But it remains a wonderful love affair and, even though you know its tricks, you're still enticed by its charm.

A pleasing 9/10. And I don't even feel guilty about it.

Gamera: Guardian of the Universe

Being the only one in the trilogy that I never watched, and having only seen the others when I was a dumb kid and not remembering much of them, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Whatever I was expecting, though, the movie was better.

The pacing, at times, was odd.. But not entirely in a bad way. The music was f**king amazing, and at times felt really reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus(Which as I went to check is unsurprising, as the music in both was made by the same person) Glad to see he continues with the next two Gamera films.

The special effects, while okay for the time, are the only thing I wasn't entirely a fan of. I remember the Gamera films having amazing effects, but this one didn't quite live up to what I as hoping in that department. The suits, at times, also looked really awkward in places.

Overall, though, I loved it. Easily an 8/10 at least.

Gamera: Attack of Legion.

This movie.. Was not as good as Guardian of the Universe.

That's not to say it was bad, though. The Legion was a really fun enemy to see Gamera fight. The plot, though, just didn't feel as interesting as the first one. It had it's moments, but not enough in my opinion.

Also that final blast thing just felt really odd, but that may just be me nitpicking.

The soundtrack was not as SOTC as the first one, sadly, and not nearly as memorable. It sounds very similar to what would later be heard in GMK, and in my opinion GMK did it better.

Overall Attack of Legion was some good fun. I'd give it a 7/10, maybe.

Hatchet III.

It was good but it's nothing to really write home about. If you like the first two you'll like this one. The kills were good and over the top and gore plentiful. It also has a lot more action than the previous two. And seeing Derek Mears and Kane Hodder go at it was fun. Two of my favorite Jason's kicking the crap out of each other. It's not as good as the first, but is better than two pacing wise (which had the best kills of series). I just hope this is the last time we see Victor Crowley. To be honest a third film was really pushing but it got the job done.

7/10

Man of Steel (2013)

The movie started out well enough by showing us Zod's rebellion on Krypton, as well as Jor-El and Lara sending Kal-El away from the doomed planet. To be honest, this was one of the few parts I really enjoyed. Krytpton was beautiful and they introduced a lot of cool things in the short time we were allowed to spend there. Russ-El was perfect as Jor-El and it was fun seeing him more in style with the Jor-El from the animated series. Aylet Zurer was fine as Lara, but some more time could have been spent on establishing the character.

Then, however, the movie pretty much nosedived. The first half of the movie felt rushed and more could have been done with the flashbacks to Clark's childhood. Both Costner and Lane were pretty good in their roles however. Amy Adams as Lois Lane was nice. One of the best versions we've seen of her so far. But Cavilll... I hate to say this, but Cavill rarely came across as Superman to me. He had his moments of course, but overall, there was something I can't quite put my finger on that kind of ruined it for me.

The second half of the movie was pretty much just one long action scene and it did get pretty tiresome after a while. Now, don't get me wrong, they did an excellent job of portraying Superman's different powers and you get to see most of them showcased to the fullest. My biggest complaint here isn't the lenght or the CGI however, but rather Superman's lack of damage control during the fights, especially the last one with Zod. There wasn't a single attempt to draw the fight away from the city and the innocent people that got harmed. Instead we had scene after scene with both Zod and Superman demolishing buildings with their blows and throws. That Superman is this careless is a big mistake. Human life should be his number one priority and I wouldn't be surprised if he killed more people in the fight than he saved.

The ending however...

Spoiler
With Superman breaking Zod's neck to save the life of a family, I was okay with. Yes, I get that Superman does not kill, but when faced with the impossible choice, he made the right one this time. And he was clearly devastated by what he had done. It was well handled in my opinion.
[close]

So, overall, there was too much action when some more time could have been spent on the story. Cavill's "failure" as Superman (not the right word for it really) is more of a personal opinion and I'm sure many won't agree with me on that one. I would probably have been more okay with all the action if it had actually been fun to watch, like in The Avengers. But it rarely was. Zimmer's score was nice though.

6/10

That's quite unfortunate. I was hoping that you, more than anyone else, had great things to say about it. :-\

I'm still going to see the movie and will probably enjoy it, but I'm certainly not as excited as I was a couple weeks ago. Most of the characterization bits that looked so prominent in the trailers seem like they were glossed over in the film, based on what I've been hearing.

Love Crime (2010)

The original French film that Brian De Palma remade as Passion. The story is basically the same (more or less), but where De Palma spins it out into a manically excessive frenzy of style and pushes the sexuality to all kinds of extremes, the original is all ludicrously complex plotting without much energy or flair.

When the director and scriptwriters put this story together, they had a 3-sided dice made for the purpose:

1st side: flashbacks to Clark Kent's childhood
2nd side: poignant, stoic moments with characters giving each other long looks and perhaps some words of wisdom
3rd side: fight scenes, 2 characters beating each other with the help of plenty of CGI effects.

And that's basically the entire film - they just roll the dice, write 10 pages of whatever the dice tells them to, and roll the dice again, writes another 10 pages and you end up with a script.

The film takes itself very seriously. We are reminded 57 times, that Clark/Jor-El was meant for something greater than just blending in with the humans. The humor that was evident in the old movies has been totally cleansed out here as a consequence. It's evident that Zack Snyder tries to re-boot establish this new franchise on similar merits of what the Nolans did with Batman, but he just don't have as good source material as Nolan did, neither is he as accomplished a filmmaker.

Personally, I was bored 30 minutes in. Superman is simply a boring character and I don't feel he was ever meant to be made into such a serious, poignant character. The villains are entirely 1-dimensional and when you have to watch about 30 minutes in total of fight scenes between characters who can't harm each other, but just break and demolish a lot of stuff in the process, you're in Michael Bay territory and that's never a compliment when coming from me.

Oh, and Superman could wreck Zod's plans to terraform Earth with ease, when he finally put his mind to it. I mean, we dumb humans sent 5-6 fighter planes to stop Zod's evil plans to destroy humanity... and that was basically our contributions to save our civilization.

Who wrote this crap?

Oh well, in this serious take on the man of steel, at least they dumped the notion of people not being able to recognize that Clark is Supes, just by him wearing glasses, right? Right?? Oh, wait a minute.... crap....

At least I enjoyed Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as the Kents... The only performances in the film worth mentioning in my opinion...

Don't quite agree with you on the source material though. There's plenty of good Superman stories out there. ;)

@Shasvre - I sorta liked what they did visually, design wise in the start. I just can't figure out why this civilization stayed with their doomed planet, when they obviously have the technology to resettle on other worlds. They are terraformers with 'world machines', for Christ's sake...

I wouldn't know about all the Supes material out there - I've never read the comics. I just think the material they went with for this film, was uninspired. But generally I think of Supes as a weak character, dramatically speaking. Nobody can harm the guy. Where's the challenge, the emotional investment? they'll probably bring out Luthor in a sequel and cash in on his reputation, but he's just another villain not really able to hurt Supes in any way. Boring....

There's plenty of characters that can hurt him, both physically and emotionally, with Luthor being one of them. Of course, the Luthor we have seen in the previous movies isn't really the mastermind he is in the comic books, so I don't blame you for holding no interest in the character. :D

Aguirre, the Wrath of God

Apparently the BFI is having a Herzog season and Aguirre is currently playing. Seeing as I can't quite bugger off to England for a few weeks to catch some movies, I had to suffice with watching them at home.

Mesmerising, hypnotic, beautiful, and has probably my second favourite film ending of all time. I'm not sure what's more interesting, though; the movie, or the making of. They marched into the forest with next to nothing and barely walked out on the other side with a masterpiece.

In that case I'd actually suggest watching it with commentary. The film's fairly sparse on dialogue, so it's not hard to follow the movie and commentary at the same time (And make sure to watch it in German. The English dub ... eh).

The only time I will ever consider watching a dub is with an animated film and, even so, rarely. I will see if I can find a copy of Aguirre in its original language and with the commentary track.

Ay, dubbed movies are awful. Learn to read subtitles, for Christ's sake.

Manhunter Directors Cut - 9.5/10

Yeah, the quintessential serial killer crime thriller in my opinion. Wonderful nuanced performances, William Petersen and Tom Noonan in particular. I disagree with those who can't quite get attuned to Brian Cox as Lecter in this one (after seeing Hopkins in the role), but for my money, this film gets the character exactly right for this film. And this is not a Lecter film - it is a Will Graham/Francis Dolarhyde film. Lecter is just a supporting character and that's how it is supposed to be.

Michael Mann talks a lot about the Will Graham character in particular and how the FBI deals with these extreme cases and other specifics supported of what you're watching while he speaks. I enjoyed it very much and I'm happy he was intrigued by the same things I was when I first watched this.

I really liked the new scene in the end, with Will visiting the next family Dolarhyde intended to visit. Especially his response when they invite him in and have a talk. 'No thanx... I just... I just wanted to see you...' Perfect in the context of the entire film.

Blomkamp's first feature-length film is visually stunning and is nearly perfect in the execution of it's story and characters.

Man of Steel

Well hey oh that was a pleasant surprise. Never having been a huge Superman fan I wasn't at all interested in this when it was first announced. The trailers however got my attention and the more I saw the more I was all for it, unfortunately after seeing some of the initial reactions I kind of gave up hope on it. Happy I didn't, cause goddamn I am satisfied.

Dat f**king fight in the city, yes it dragged on but fuuuuck, the DBZ fan in me was going wild. :laugh:

Equestria Girls

This was also a surprise, going into it I said at worst it's vomit inducing shit, and on the other hand it could be decent. Best way to describe it is think one of the two parter season openers turned into a three parter and made into a feature length film. It was actually pretty funny as well which was the most surprising part for me.

Pretty offensive on almost every level, and extremely, brazenly stupid, but there's no denying De Palma is a master of show-offy suspense -- the museum sequence that takes up most of the first act is a masterpiece inside an otherwise trashy schlockfest.

This is the End (2013)

So this is what it's like when a bunch of best friends come together and make a movie about whatever they want. Probably my favorite comedy of the year thus far. At no point does it take itself too seriously and the actors as well as the audience are all in on the joke. I'd have to say Danny McBride & Craig Robinson were among my favorites. Best scenes were Gangnam Style and the unofficial sequel to Pineapple Express they make in James Franco's house.

So this is what it's like when a bunch of best friends come together and make a movie about whatever they want. Probably my favorite comedy of the year thus far. At no point does it take itself too seriously and the actors as well as the audience are all in on the joke. I'd have to say Danny McBride & Craig Robinson were among my favorites. Best scenes were Gangnam Style and the unofficial sequel to Pineapple Express they make in James Franco's house.

I'm actually a bit curious about that one. :)

Spoiler
How as the Emma Watson cameo?

There's this scene where they're all outside of her room talking about not trying to give off a rapey vibe and she hears; misunderstands and starts swinging an axe at them.

I think my favorite parts were were

"The Exorcism of Jonah Hill" (when the title card for that came up it had me dying laughing) and James Franco's death, though :D

The Rock 10/10  Reminding me that Michael Bay used to be able to make awesome movies, Cage and Connery perfectly cast and the Zimmer and Glennie Smith score is unreal.

When India's father is mysteriously murdered and his brother (cough, Ozymandias) moves into his house, strange things start to happen. Writing and acting is iffy at times, but Matthew Goode steals the show as being the creepiest uncle to ever exist. Not the best of Park Chan-wook's films, and not for everyone's taste, but still an okay thriller with some bizarre scenes that seem to make little sense.

Rating: 3/5.

Knock off of Yojimbo, but decent enough action in a somewhat dry flick.

Dressed to Kill (1980)

Pretty offensive on almost every level, and extremely, brazenly stupid, but there's no denying De Palma is a master of show-offy suspense -- the museum sequence that takes up most of the first act is a masterpiece inside an otherwise trashy schlockfest.

8/10

Pretty much this, but one also have to acknowledge the time when it was made. It has stellar cinematography/sound design and that's probably one of the attributes of the film that attracts me to it - more so than the performances, script etc.

Watching this yesterday with you guys, made me dust out my Blow Out dvd, unless you plan to stream that in the future. I can wait then. :D

Face / Off Cage-Travolta/10

This film was just... just awesome. Essentially, John Travolta plays an FBI agent who has been tracking down Castor Troy (Cage), a terrorist wanted for an insane number of felonies. As a bonus, Troy also murdered Travolta's son. So we got a revenge story goin' here. Alright, so Travolta takes down Cage in what is one of the most ridiculous (and therefore awesome) chases I have seen in a movie (it involved numerous cars, a helicopter, and a small plane) which then leads to a gunfight. Between John Travolta. And Nicolas Cage. Oh my gods, I didn't think this could get any better. (But it does.) Long story short, Travolta wins, Cage is in a coma, and everybody's happy...

But...

Turns out Cage had hidden a very powerful nerve gas bomb that could kill thousands. In order to find out where it's hidden, Travolta undergoes a top-secret medical procedure that results in Travolta wearing Cage's face. Y'know, as an impostor. Find the bomb, 'n shit. He finds out where it's hidden, but then...

Cage wakes up from his coma, and is surprised to discover he no longer posses a face. However, he finds Travolta's conveniently nearby, and then forces the procedure to be done on him. So now Cage has Travolta's face. And then he kills everybody who knew about Travolta's undercover op. So, yeah, TravoltaCage is f**ked.

Now, about here is where I almost passed out from sheer awesome. John Travolta was now Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage was now John Travolta. Travolta was Cage, Cage was Travolta, they were morphing together into a superentity... It blew my mind. And was f**king great.

Cloud Atlas

I find it hard to describe exactly how much I enjoyed this movie. It kept me completely engrossed from start to finish. It is a three hour long up-and-down roller coaster of a film with a deep emotional payoff at the end. Memorable performances by Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whishaw, Doona Bae, and many others wrap up the entire experience. Just a truly memorable film that I will purchase for myself as soon as humanly possible.

Very fun, funny, and peculiar film that just goes to show that the truth really is stranger than fiction. John Malkovich was brilliant and the references to Kubrick's work (or non-references, in some cases) were great touches. Certainly underrated.

Because I'm not basing it on how Twilight it looks. ;P They're equally bad. Come on, Shadow, look at the editing in both of them. They're equally horrific.

Poorly blended cutouts with random crappy looking filters. SPLOSION! Random background. Just place everything wherever - who cares about composition. Everything looks fake, w00t! Mission accomplished. Yup, they both follow more or less the same approach.

Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure

This is the greatest thing ever made ever.

But really, I know these Ewok movies get a lot of hate, and I completely understand why. But watching this movie now for the first time in probably eight or nine years and putting myself in the mindset of a child, it is actually quite fun. It's ridiculous beyond belief, but in a whimsical and entertaining way. Its like a fairy tale with Ewoks and a laser gun. The Ewok suits were pretty bad (I don't think the Ewoks' mouths opened a single time when they were talking :D ), but the Gorax suit was cool enough and the stop motion used on the hound thing was pretty good as well. I don't think I'll ever understand why Endor is populated by horses, ferrets, rabbits, lizards, owls, and chickens, though :P Anyways, this was a fun, no brain required ride.
Spoiler
And then a friggin' Ewok died at the end and got me depressed :'(

Oz, The Great and Powerful
All in all an unremarkable movie, but made a bit more enjoyable than the typical fair due to the talents behind it, namely Rami and Franco, and its fair share of imaginative concepts. Not an insult to the original, but hardly a compliment.
6.8/10

Jack the Giant Slayer
So so action film.
6.5/10

Paint Your Wagon
A somewhat underrated movie from the late 60s that features Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. A robust western musical. All in all, slightly above average with some good humor and nice musical numbers, but its spectacular (and not too funny) conclusion ran it so far over budget that it took a place in Hollywood Infamy. Worth checking out to see if it is your thing and not as bad as some people say, but don't expect a masterpiece.
Features Lee Marvin's Gold Record winning song Wandrin Star.

It's almost like they were trying to portray Batman as human or something.

Monsters University

This charming movie was a great example of how Pixar is still on top when it comes to animated movies. (Especially considering some of the crap Dreamworks Animation has out out in the last few years.) the flawless animation is accentuated by fantastic comedy and a perfect returning cast as well as some great newcomers. This movie kept me thoroughly entertained throughout and is worth every second of its runtime.

8.5/10

Comparatively speaking, how does Monsters University stack up against the former film?

It doesn't carry as much emotional weight, but I'd say that Monsters University holds up very well and is a prequel that does the first movie justice. It doesn't outshine it by any means but I still had a blast with it. If you loved the first one, you'll love this one, guaranteed.

Femme Fatale (2002)

Typically brilliant De Palma first act -- an absurd heist at the Cannes Film Festival that involves super spy/thief Rebecca Romijn seducing a female model wearing a priceless dress made of gold and diamonds and then removing it piece by piece as they make out in a bathroom stall, all set to genius composer Ryuichi Sakamoto's brilliant score. The rest of the film, in also typical De Palma fashion, doesn't sustain the flashy, trashy excitement of that first twenty minutes, and the ending is a De Palma fake out of insanely epic proportions, but it's all still brilliantly done and incredibly entertaining.

If you go in expecting a Star Wars film you are sure to be disappointed, but as something that uses the bare minimum of the Star Wars universe in a made-for-TV fairy tale about Ewoks and monsters and space marauders and an old hermit that will one day go on to become the Thing, you can't ask for anything better than this.

I just watched that on Netflix.  I could see that Gareth really cared for visuals (which were quite stunning for the low budget film it was)  At first, I wasn't overly fond of character development and editing in the beginning of the film and it only made me worried for how Godzilla might end up.  Thankfully, I got used to it and actually began to admire the camera work and editing (still hope they use some steady cams for Godzilla, it seems almost all contemporary directors love the shakey cam effect)  Over all the characters were quite believable towards the climax and the atmosphere of the situation as well.  I really believe now that Legendary made a great choice picking Gareth for Godzilla.

8.5/10

Also,

Stolen - 7/10

Sure, it isn't a big flick, but it was surprisingly good!  Nic Cage is getting older, sure, but I still admire his approach in acting and the guy is still pretty athletic.  And he still kicks ass in this (the punches and kicks look pretty believable).  Also, with a cast including Josh Lucas, Malin Akerman, Danny Huston, M.C. Gainey, Mark Valley and directed by Simon West himself, what's not to love?  This was almost a throw back to Con Air.  Overall, some pretty bad ass car chases and fight scenes with good old fassioned humor.

Raising Cane (1992)

Typical De Palma crackpot psychothriller starring John Lithgow as a child psychologist who has multiple personalities. The plot is completely ridiculous as usual, and it's definitely De Palma's silliest film, even moreso than Dressed to Kill (which the director here seems to be apologizing for in some way, considering the female split personality this time around saves someone from being killed instead of the other way around), but it's still pretty entertaining, and the overblown finale is well done (even if De Palma does end on a stupid shock reveal of Lithgow in drag).

Man of Steel

I liked it. I feel like the trailers over-hyped the film a bit, but I liked it. The movie is visually stunning and the action sequences are top-notch (especially Superman vs Faora) but its a Zack Snyder film, so that's to be expected. I really liked the portrayal of Superman and found Henry Cavill to be excellent in the role, but I unfortunately felt that rather than feeling like a Superman movie, at numerous points Man of Steel merely felt like a movie with Superman in it. General Zod was a bit underwhelming as a villain as well; his best sequence was
Spoiler
at the end when he was about to kill the people in the building with his heat vision, but he died less than a minute later.
[close]

I feel like I'm coming across as a bit more negative than I intended to, so I would just like to reiterate that I did like the movie, it just wasn't as good as the trailers made it out to be. One thing that I thought was actually a very interesting twist on previously established Superman lore is
Spoiler
making post-Krypton Jor-El an artificial intelligence rather than just a recording. That made for some very cool dialogue scenes with him and Superman, Lois, and Zod.
[close]

T'was pretty nice seeing Felix Gaeta and Karl Agathorn from Battlestar Galactica briefly, too 8) Speaking of cameos
Spoiler
I doubt I would have even noticed the Wayne Enterprises logo on the satellite if I didn't read about it online beforehand. And a friend pointed out the phrase 'LexCorp' written on a truck during the final battle moments before it blew up.
[close]

So overall, Man of Steel was a pretty good movie that, while it could have been more, wasn't really disappointing either. I'm interested in seeing followups to this film and seeing if and how Warner Bros are able to expand this world and populate it with other characters.

It isn't anything like the book I'm afraid, there's no battle for Yonkers or any of the main points from the book but there are references to it if you did read the book. I enjoyed it, it had great zombies vs soldier scenes which you don't see in most zombie movies, books or games. It sets it self up for a sequel and the set up hints that the sequel will be more faithful to the book.
If you like zombies/action I say its worth seeing

Man of Steel

I honestly loved it. Pretty much Superman's Batman Begins. The dialogue goes "eh" sometimes and I can see why the pacing of the first half can be weird for some people. Those are pretty much my negative points. You could tell everyone was having fun with their roles. The action is crazy and looks great. The art direction (dat Krypton) is top-notch. And the story's really focused.

Exactly the same gripes as me, but they were minor and very forgiveable.  Krypton was stunning, the fight scenes were over the top but that's the point surely when people who are basically Gods on Earth face off

The creators of 'Ice Age' and 'Rio' give us a Ferngully-esque fantasy film mixed with a little 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' twist. MK (Mary Catherine, not Mortal Kombat) visits her estranged father, a scientist who's convinced that little forest people exist. Colorful and magical, but has an uneven pace. Mub and Grub seemed more annoying than funny. Kids will enjoy it though.

Rating: 3/5.

Still trying to get to grips with this movie. It starts off SLOW, and I mean it. The action doesn't come in until around halfway through the movie, and it's kick-ass. But with a fractured storyline and underdeveloped characters, Snyder's adaptation doesn't quite fly well as it should. But it's still pretty entertaining.

BTW: Faora reminds me of an evil counterpart of Jun the Swan.

Rating: 3.5/5.

Prequel to 'Monsters Inc.' shows how Mike and Sullivan met up and became friends. Had low expectations for this movie but was pleasantly surprised at how good it turned out to be. Terribly funny and genuinely heartfelt at the same time. After the not-so-good 'Cars 2' and decent but far-too-short 'Brave', Pixar's gone back onto their feet with this one. Good job for them.

(Everyone in my theater was applauding at the end of the film).

BTW: Don't miss 'The Blue Umbrella' at the start. It's immediately become by far my favorite Pixar short.

Good or bad? Well, like I always say with the 'Alien vs. Predator' movies and 'Resident Evil 6', it all comes down to how you want to look at it. As a stand-alone zombie/action movie, I think it's awesome. Great visuals and effects, lots of frightening moments, and it comes to show that you don't need so much blood and gore to make a zombie movie scary. Now as a die-hard fan of the original book by Max Brooks, chances are likely that you'll hate it. The movie has nearly nothing to do with the book whatsoever.

Well worth watching in my opinion, though.

Rating: 4/5.

"Man, the late show doesn't get any better than this!" I miss early 90's movies like this! Gunnar Hansen maybe the only big name in it, but this movie officially marks the beginning of summer for me. There is a scene where Gunnar finds a huge chainsaw and says "Haven't handled one of these babies in 20 years. Feels pretty good" (Gunnar was Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

This is a very rare DVD; I found mine (the case is banged up) in March for a mere 35$, the CHEAPEST copy on Amazon is asking 598.98$ ?!?! What a greedy world we live in.

Jack the Giant Slayer

The plot is as simple as they come, a retelling of the Jack and the Beanstalk story with some twists, as well as some adventure and romance as well. It follows a fairly basic fairy tale structure, with a princess to be rescued and monsters to fight. Come to think of it, this is a better Mario movie than the Mario movie was. The new backstory is maybe a bit more complicated than it needs to be, introducing two MacGuffins for the price of one, but it largely worked and the origin story for the magic beans was actually kind of clever.

The romantic angle isn't quite as forced as it could have been. The princess and Jack have decent chemsitry together, and they're shown to have a fair amount in common, despite their different classes and upbringings. Also, the movie thankfully avoids the cliche of the princess having to choose between two men from different classes. Instead, she's already been engaged to Tucci's Roderick, who is obviously a bad guy and likely to get rubbed out by the end. This nips all that melodramatic nonsense in the bud.

The cast is solid through and through. Nicholas Hoult (sans blue fur) makes for a likeable enough hero, even if his wardrobe struck me as being way too self aware and modern looking. (Seriously, he has a leather hoodie and old timey jeans. WTF.) The actress playing the princess isn't given all that much to do, but is good enough in her role and pretty hot to boot. Also worht mentioning is Obi-Wan Ewan MacGregor, who manages to be awesome and funny all at the same time.

All that being said, there are a few disappointments here. Stanley Tucci is occasionally fun as the slimy Roderick, but he's rarely given much to other than act as a walking, hamming plot device. Ian McShane is even more egregiously wasted, as he does nothing aside from stand and watch for 99% of his screen time. One of the biggest would have to be the giants themselves. Not enough was really spent in their home above the clouds, and none of them are given much in the way of personality. The two-headed giant is interesting to look at, but that's about it. The rest can only be described in broad strokes, such as "the chef," "the second in command," and "the one with the Jewfro."

Overall, though, it's a very decent film, and not the worst way to spend two hours of your time.

6.9/10

The Prince of Egypt

Holy nostalgia (no pun intended), I have not seen this since I was 6 or 7. It's held up really well, and the Red Sea parting still remains an awesome scene and one of my favorites in any animated film. It's a crying shame that not many Western 2D animated movies (that aren't anime inspired at least :P) aren't made more often. With the tech available now alot of 2D films nowadays would look f**king sweet.

Needless to say this movie still kicks ass and I feel old so I'm just gonna watch more T.V. :P

A team of scientists lands on a barren planet outside a giant artificial structure capped by a giant face. A comely lady scientist speculates that it's "an invitation". They go inside and explore, and then have to outrace a storm in their vehicle and get back to their ship. It turns out the inhabitants of the planet seeded Earth with life. The final shot is one of the scientists taking off in an alien spaceship to go find the now-departed aliens.

No, it's not Prometheus, you silly! It's Mission to Mars!

What a frustrating movie -- there is a great science fiction film in here struggling to get out, held back by boring Hollywood cliches (Extensive tragic backstory for the lead character! Who cares?) and distracting character banter supplied by Predator screenwriters Jim & John Thomas. A shame, because the special effects are (mostly) incredible, deployed by De Palma in beautiful, painterly widescreen vistas like this:

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2F2w5olcw.png&hash=8757a70cae0113f0474460ec46580319c65c15f7)

There is also a great extended set piece in the second act where the ship is punctured by micrometeorites and the crew must abandon ship, floating above the planet tied to each other with cable as they try and get to their Emergency Rescue Vehicle. All of this is handled by De Palma with elegance and restraint (!). Pity then that the last act turns unfortunately sentimental, the effects budget seemingly plummets (the CGI alien -- the horror), and even Ennio Morricone's wonderful score starts to sound cheap.

6/10

Femme Fatale

This was long overdue for a rewatch and I still stand by what I said before. Deliciously campy and beautifully shot but ultimately not as rewarding as Passion. Rebbeca Romijn has amazing screen presence and naturally steals the show. The Hitchcockian scenes and the usual De Palma trademarks are on display but never boring. And this film may feature one of the sexiest female stripteases in cinema.

8/10

Bandits

Entertaining from beginning to end mostly thanks to the great performances by Billy Bob Thornton and a stunning Cate Blanchett.

Body Double (1984)

De Palma's absolutely ridiculous riff on Vertigo and Rear Window, and probably his sleaziest, silliest movie ever (which is saying something) -- which basically means it's entertaining as hell, and features the most awesomely over the top make out scene in history:

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

One of Kevin Smith's films that divided fans a little.  Personally I loved it, the film is ridiculously self aware and the cameos by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Biggs, James Van Der Beek, Chris Rock, Mark Hamill, Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven and Judd Nelson are brilliant.  Will Ferrell's usual randomness is also a big factor! 7.5/10

Finally got the chance to watch this, and I am very glad that I did. Had a lot more fun with this movie than I thought I would, and it even worked on an emotional level that I never saw coming. Assuming that is the last in the series, MIB certainly ended on a high note. Not as good as the first, of course, but a lot better than I remember the second being. Makes me want to go back and watch the other two, actually. Been a long time since I last watched them.

Batman (1989)

"You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!"

This one has always been a favorite of mine, ever since I was very small and had the VHS tape with the kick ass cover and the super cheesy Diet Coke commercial. For me, it holds up very well, and remains one of the better superhero films yet released.

First, a bit of context: at the time Batman came out, comic books were only really present on screen in the form of the Chris Reeve Superman films. Unfortunately, that series entered a downward spiral which ended in it committing cinematic seppukku with the Cannon-produced Super IV: The Quest for Peace. If it weren't for the success of Batman two years later, we probably wouldn't have gotten all of the comic book movies that came out in the past decade and a half. For that alone, the movie has earned its place in film history.

The story is simple but effective: Batman prowls the streets and rooftops of Gotham by night, striking fear in the hearts of criminals. A madman calling himself the Joker then appears on the scene, and Batman has to foil his nefarious schemes, all while maintaining his secret identity as Bruce Wayne and romancing the lovely photographer Vicki Vale. It's not an enormously complex plot, but it works as a fun popcorn film.

The acting is pretty good throughout, even in the smaller roles. Michael Keaton makes for an awesome Batman, with plenty of memorable moments and lines throughout. The character's introductory scene is pure badassery at its finest. His Bruce Wayne is also good, but not nearly as compelling. Jack Nicholson gives a similarly entertaining performance as Jack Napier/Joker, and he's clearly having tons of fun with the part. Robert Wuhl brings a nice comedic touch to the character of Knox, and Michael Gough captures Alfred just about perfectly in a lot of ways. Pat Hingle and Billy Dee Williams are both solid in their roles as Gordon and Dent. They also got shafted in the sequels, but that's a different story. The only real weak link in the acting department is Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale, but that's not really her fault. There's just not all that much to the character, but she does get some nice moments here and there.

The other big plus to the movie is Tim Burton's visual style. The look that he and Anton Furst created for Gotham is ugly and beautiful at the same time, and really lends a neo-noir/gothic sensibility. It also feels very much like a spiritual successor to German Expressionism, which is well suited to the story. While the city is almost totally created with sets and matte paintings, it still manages to feel suitably large (something that Batman Returns utterly fails at, IMO). The only real downside to any of this is that it isn't entirely consistent. The cool noir feel is broken several times by obviously 80s cars and fashion styles, while the frankly out of place Prince music is just plain silly.

Now, as long as I'm on negatives, I should mention that I don't really care for some of the comedic scenes. The best example of this would have to be the stuff with the news anchors. One of them is killed by the Joker's Smilex cosmetics, and it's played for laughs. Maybe I just don't "get" Burton's sense of humor, but that scene just doesn't sit right for me. A lot of the comedy still works for me, though. Nicholson pulling a Shemp Howard in the finale always slays me, and Keaton is absolutely brilliant in the scene where Wayne tries to open up to Vicki.

There's also several plot points that I don't quite agree with. However, they're such common complaints that I'll only go into detail on one:

Spoiler
It turns out later on in the film that the Jack Napier, now the Joker, was responsible for killing Bruce Wayne's parents. While I feel that it works okay in the context of the movie, it also oversimplifies Batman's character and his relationship with the Joker. The fact that his parents were killed by a random mugger who was never brought to justice is so much more interesting to me. Making the Joker responsible turns Batman's relationship with the Clown Prince of Crime into more of a simple revenge story, also missing out on a much more complex and interesting alternative. Now, Batman Begins played with this subject a little, but did so in a very interesting fashion, and was just plain better in that regard, IMO.
[close]

In spite of whatever issues I may have with it, this film is still one of my favorites. It remains an incredibly memorable and entertaining film in its own right. It's a pity the sequels let it down in so many ways.

9/10

Man of Steel (2013)

I just came back from my second viewing of Man of Steel. I dare say I enjoyed it a little bit more this time around. The major flaws were still there, but I found myself enjoying the story and Henry Cavill's performance a bit more. Also, I never really figured it out the first time around, but I think I know why something kept bugging me about Cavill. He has the same f**king smile as Brian Moser in Dexter, so every time I see Superman smile, I'm reminded of a vicious serial killer. Not a winning combination. :laugh:

Superman Returns

After Man of Steel I felt the need to return to my former favourite Supes movie.  The best thing about Singer's take on Superman was that for the first time on the big screen I actually felt like I got to see Superman being Superman.  The shuttle/plane sequence was breath taking to say the least and Supes saving Metropolis was really well done.  Brandon Routh is excellent as both Clark Kent and Superman, managing to combine the bumbling awkwardness of Clark Kent and the stoic, selflessness of Superman and Kevin Spacey looked like he really enjoyed his role as Lex Luthor.

That being said, the film suffered from a lot of flaws.  Kate Bosworth was completely unengaging as Lois Lane, I just didn't like her performance at all.  Lex Luthor's plan felt a little lame, and he was nowhere near as cool and devious or "pimp" (Kevin Smith) as he has been before.  The loneliness of Kal-El though extremely relevant, was a little overdrawn for me, particularly when he's hanging about outside Lois' window.  One of the things I loved the most about Man of Steel was
Spoiler
Lois knowing Clark Kent is Superman
[close]
it worked, but Superman Returns at times felt a little ridiculous.  Superman goes away for a while, so does Clark Kent, Superman comes back, so does Clark Kent and nobody seems to notice any kind of coincidence.  And Lois Lane never questions Superman after her kid throws a piano at one of Luthor's henchmen.

That all being said, I still loved the film.  It's a wonderful take on my favourite superhero

8/10

Batman Returns (1992)

Okay, just to clear the air, I'm going to man up and admit that I was a bit too hard on this movie when I posted my ranking of the Batman movies last night. It shouldn't have been so close to Batman & Robin. That's just too cruel. However, the film doesn't really work for me for several reasons, but I don't quite loathe it as much as I remembered from my last viewing.

Returns picks up sometime after the first film, and Gotham is being preyed upon by a gang of clowns and circus performers. One would think that these schmucks might just be insane Joker fan boys, but their actions are really orchestrated by a mysterious, deformed sewer dweller known as the Penguin. He forms an alliance with corrupt businessman Max Schreck, and sets himself up to look like a hero to the people of Gotham, and forms his own nefarious plans. Meanwhile, Schreck tosses his timid secretary Selina Kyle out a window, who then miraculously survives, goes nut and becomes Catwoman, who plots revenge against Schreck. Oh, and Batman's in there somewhere.

Well, I'll begin with the positives. Burton brings a genuine sense of artistry to the film, and his visuals and atmosphere are as good as ever. The Christmas time setting is always a plus for me, and the requisite snow and cold add to the bleakness of the themes and narrative. The actors all do solid-to-great jobs with the material they're given, especially Michelle Pfeiffer, who really transcends the script. Christopher Walken, is, well, Christopher Walken. He's awesome in spite of the ridiculous wig and makeup and he's saddled with. There are some great set pieces here and there, and probably the best fight scenes you could get out of that awkward Batman costume. Some of the cameos were quite amusing, especially Pee Wee Herman as the Penguin's father and Vincent Schiavelli basically playing himself. Last but not least, Keaton and Pfeiffer have great chemistry together, and the onscreen relationship works better than it really should because of that.

Now, I have to talk about the things that bring the film down for me. I don't particularly care for the choices made when adapting the characters of Penguin and Catwoman. Making them into a sewer dwelling misfit and a crazy person respectively just plain doesn't sit right with me. I'll fully admit that this is as much of a problem with me as it is with the film itself, but the changes bother me.

I'll start with the Penguin, since he's more problematic for me. Apparently the studio demanded the Penguin be featured in the movie, but Burton felt he "wasn't interesting enough." He then proceeded to cook up a new backstory involving deformity and parental abandonment to make him more sympathetic. Now, while this is not the Penguin in any way, it could have worked given the proper execution. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The audience is meant to sympathize with Penguin when he's ultimately rejected by Gotham, but it rings false because he's clearly portrayed throughout the film as a conniving, disgusting, and perverted individual. Also, his desire to reconnect with normal people and find his real parents was entirely insincere, and he was planning his big climactic villain plot from the get go. So, yeah, sympathy = gone. Danny DeVito does a genuinely good job, but the character's writing is just lacking.

Catwoman is a different story entirely. While I still dislike the changes to the character, and her origin is a bunch of kind of nonsensical bullshit, Pfeiffer is so damn good and entertaining in the role that I can't say much bad about it. Her Selina Kyle at the beginning annoys me to no end. The scene where she wanders about her apartment whining about her life irritates me so much that I want Patrick Bateman to run in and chainsaw her to death. However, that all goes out the window (lolz) early on and Pfeiffer is very fun for the rest of the running time. That being said, her character suffers a little in the script department. Her revenge plot is all well and good, and leads to a cool explosion, but she then forgets all about it until the end of the movie and instead trades silly dialogue with Batman for most of the run time. Still, she's far more consistent than Penguin.

The final character problem is Batman. Everything about him. He's barely present throughout the film, and has little to no impact on the plot. The title character is almost completely marginalized in his own film. It's frankly a waste of Keaton.

And that leads into a bigger, more objective issue: the plot is kind of a mess. It tries to do way too much in the two hour run time to really result in anything coherent. It contains Schreck's general douchebaggery and political machinations, the Penguin spreading terror via his circus gang, Penguin running for mayor, Penguin having no less than two climactic evil plans, Catwoman's on again, off again revenge plot, and her romance with Batman. All of these element don't exactly make for a cohesive whole, resulting in a script that's all over the place.

I'm also not a fan of the dialogue. It's practically 50% innuendo, and not even very subtle innuendo. I felt like I was watching Austin Powers at times.

Now, one final point. I know this is minor, but I want to mention it. The set design is a step down from the previous film. There's very little sense of scale here. Both Gotham City and Wayne Manor not only look different, but feel positively tiny. Gotham has only about four streets in this. It all feels very sound stagey.

Now, I've said plenty of negatives, but overall I feel rather mixed on it. It's genuinely entertaining as a film, but certain things just bug me about it.

6.5/10

Nowhere near as implausible as all the aliens just dropping dead at the end of The Avengers, which is an epically lazy copout, yet gets a free pass from nearly everyone because "it's fun".

Super 8 - 8/10

It was a pretty alright movie.  The only thing that sort of bugged me was that it felt like Abrams was trying a bit too hard to be like the good 'ol Spielberg, but with modern technology, so it felt a bit perpetuated at times. It also had some choppy sequences and a lot of simple things that needed better resolution for the sake of pacing.  Overall, it wasn't bad at all, just not as great as I thought it would be.

I dunno, it was just an incredibly fun movie, to me at least. Was it meaningless and action-bloated? Sure. But damn near all things comic book related are. And those were the things that, as a kid, caught my eye. Of course I developed a different tastes in cinema as I grew older, but I am more than willing to appreciate a comic book movie that can incorporate all of the silliness and over-the-top nonsense that I used to adore as a child and still produce a decent movie. And in that regard, Whedon succeeded.

Obsession (1976)

A wealthy Southern businessman's wife and young daughter are killed in a kidnapping gone wrong. Years later, he goes to the church in Rome where he first met his late wife, and discovers there a young woman who seems to be her doppelganger...

De Palma's first reworking of Vertigo has none of his usual camp humor (aside from John Lithgow's terrible southern accent), a powerful slowburn sense of menace and mystery, and a towering score from Bernard Herrmann. This was on track for a 9/10 or higher before the end of the last act became spotty -- there is an implausible but nevertheless brilliant revelation that's both disturbing and tragic, and then De Palma seems to be heading for a heartbreakingly bleak and ironic ending before swerving literally at the last second.

8/10

Batman Forever

"You see, I'm both Bruce Wayne and Batman, not because I have to be, but because I choose to be."

In 1992, Tim Burton's Batman Returns was unleashed onto the public. While it did well both financially and critically, it met with backlash from angry parents over its mature themes and downright unpleasant nature,as well as a cancelled McDonald's tie-in deal. WB was none too pleased with this, and decided that a new direction was in order. Tim Burton was out of the director's chair (but still sticking around as a producer), and both Danny Elfman and Michael Keaton bowed out as well. In came their replacements: Joel Schumacher, Elliot Goldenthal, and Val Kilmer. Interestingly enough, Schumacher wanted to film an adaptaion of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, but WB wanted something safer and more marketable. It's a shame, really, but on to the actual movie.

It's been a while since the feline/avian escapades in the last film, and several things are going on. Harvey Dent has already been scarred and driven insane, and is plotting various schemes to do away with the Batman, whom he blames for his condition (he was there, in full costume. In broad daylight. Just roll with it). Meanwhile, a lowly worker at Wayne Ebnterprises named Edward Nygma is refused funding by Wayne for his brain wave/3D TV device. He goes rogue, becomes the Riddler, and plots to not only destroy Bruce Wayne, but suck the brain waves from the people of Gotham via his device. Oh, and he teams up with Two-Face, because we can't have a Superhero movie sequel without a villain team up. Also, both Bruce Wayne and Batman become involved with the lovely shrink Chase Meridian, and he also takes in the acrobat Dick Grayson, who was orphaned by Two-Face.

Well, my thoughts on this film are certainly mixed. Not unlike my feelings on Returns, but for different reasons. It does a few things fairly well, but it also fails pretty hard in other areas. That being, said I think a lot of the negativity directed at Forever stems from the reputation of its infamous successor. rather than from the flaws present in the film itself.

Let's start from the top.

After two whole movies, we finally have one with a central focus on Batman and his psychology. Val Kilmer is solid in the role, and he's given some genuinely good material to work with here and there. The stuff about him confronting his past and the reason why he chose the identity of Batman is good, but unfortunately hampered by the fact that a few scenes that would have closed his character arc were cut from the final film. I don't know who's brilliant idea that was. Another bit that works, better than it really should, I might add, is his relationship with Robin. While Chris O'Donnel's take on the character has its ups and downs, there are some great moments between the two characters. These include Bruce's speech about how revenge consumes you and becomes your whole life, something which also goes a long way towards making up for all the flagrant murder Batman was responsible for in the last film.

Now, as for Robin himself, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Chris O'Donnel does a decent job with the character, and carries some of the dramatic moments fairly well. However, he's stuck with a few scenes where he comes off as a whiny, entitle brat. This really contrasts with his introductory scene, where he saves the crowd in the circus tent from Two-Face's bomb without a thought towards his own safety. He really could have done with more scenes like that, as well as his scenes with Alfred.

In fact, let me talk about Alfred a bit. Michael Gough was always good in the role, but I feel that he was at his best here. He brings a certain amount of warmth and humanity to a film that stuffed full of mugging and OOT bit players (more on that later). His affection for Bruce is truly felt here, and the encouragement he gives to Dick Grayson is some genuinely heartwarming stuff in my book. It's a not a large role, but Gough does very well in it.

I should also mention that there is some good fun and entertainment to be had here. Even when the film isn't exactly good, it's a fun, light watch.

Now, let's get into the bad, and there's a fair amount of it.

I'll start (relatively) small. The bit part actors in this movie give some of the most irritating performances I've seen in a movie. Especially obnoxious is Bob Kane's wife as "Gossip Gerty," who manages to be the most annoying c**t in the universe with only about three lines and ten seconds of screen time. There's plenty of others, including Ed Begley Jr as Nygma's boss Strickley. Now, Begley is a decent actor, not somebody's wife. He really should know better than to act like a bad John Cleese impersonator on acid. Oh, and lest I forget, there's Two-Face's ambiguously Jewish hostage, who manages to be both a shitty actor and Captain Obvious all at the same time. There's more, but I'll stop here.

Now, the Chase Meridian character is a somewhat bigger problem. The love interests in these movies aren't exactly stellar, and Nicole Kidman does her best, but this character is just lame. She's meant to be a psychiatrist brought in to consult on the Two-Face case (she specializes in split personalities, you see), but really does little or nothing about the actual case. Instead, she spends most of the movie trying to f**k Batman, but continues to date Bruce on the side, whom she also attempts to psychoanalyse. That seems backward to me. Her professional interest would logically be extended to Batman, while she romantically pursues the safe, nice rich guy. But maybe that's just me. As it is, she just comes off as really shallow. In the end, she only really exists to be kidnapped by the villains in the final act.

Speaking of the villains...

I really, really want to like Jim Carrey's Riddler. I actually think he's capable of pulling off the character, and even manages to do so in several places here. The character is actually adapted fairly well in terms of script, and I actually quite liked the idea that he was more interested in destroying Bruce Wayne than killing Batman. His creepy, stalker vibe was a nice touch, too. However, Carrey's performance really drags the character down a lot of the time. He's almost constantly engaging in his typical mannerisms and making his silly faces. It's funny for a few minutes, but gets old, fast. Schumacher really should have done more to rein him in.

And then there's Two-Face. Oh, Two-Face. He's such a great character in the comics, so twisted, yet so tragic. Here, well... I hate to say this, since I rank Tommy Lee Jones as one of my favorite actors, but his performance is f**king terrible. It's bad enough that Billy Dee Williams got screwed out of a reprisal, but Jones is really, really awful here. The script doesn't do him any favors, but he brings literally nothing to the role. His performance amounts to nothing more than a really crappy imitation of Nicholson's Joker. While I had my issues with Burton's Penguin and Catwoman, at least the actors in that case actually gave a damn, something which Jones seems incapable of here. Two-Face is a f**king disgrace, and Jones should be ashamed.

Final thoughts? Mixed, very mixed. While I appreciate the focus on Batman's psychology and his relationship with Robin, the villains, especially Two-Face, drag this movie down a lot. As such, I don't think I can be satisfied with any score I can give. I'm literally that conflicted. However, I'll revise my ranking of it a bit. It's worse than Returns, which at least has artistry going for it.

6/10

Starts off strong until the script devolves into a complete muddle in the second and third acts, and De Palma drives his style into self-parody. A shame, because the set up and premise is great. One of those rare films that could really do with a remake.

So, how was White House Down, First Blood? :)

Eh, it was pretty bad. Jamie Fox makes for a terrible president and Emmerich gets his rocks off blowing up Washington DC. Some of the humor was really lame and the main character's daughter was incredibly annoying. There's also a shit load of hilariously ludicrous scenes...like the White House limo driving across the lawn having a shoot out with the bad guys.

James Woods and Jason Clarke were good as the film's villains though.

I completely agree.

Film has NO sense of pacing. Then again they cut a major portion of the originally-scripted creature action... go figure. Stupid producers.

I hope they make a proper horror film about Man-Thing one day.

But yes the effects were great and that's why I started researching about it in the first place.

I've read some of the original comic arcs and I really liked them (should finally order the 'Essential' omnibus someday), the story definitely has a lot of potential and in the MCU now they can easily tie it in with Captain America as originally intended.

Sisters (1973)

A model (Margot Kidder) hooks up with a handsome black man and invites him back to her apartment. Unfortunately for him, she has a psychotic twin sister who murders him the next morning, witnessed by a persistent feminist reporter across the street who sets out to prove the murder happened and solve the mystery of the twin sister. De Palma's first psychothriller is still his best and most assured work, with great characters, all his trademark style already in full effect (split screen, killer doubles, etc), an amazing hallucinatory third act, and some very funny (intentional) gags.

10/10

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

What starts as a generic creepy 50s/60s monster flick slowly turns into one of the most memorable and iconic nightmares in film history. I love seeing how different the zombies are here to how they became later; they look a lot more aware, hate fire, and sometimes, for shits and giggles, they just up and stab a chump to death rather than eating them.

And dat ending. I don't think I've ever seen a grander "f**k you" in all cinema. There are sadder endings, more depressing endings even, but I've never seen any movie end with such utter lack of emotion and complete callousness as the last ten minutes of Night of the Living Dead.

Gabriel (2007)

An Australian horror/action film starring the late Andy Whitfield (Spartacus:Blood and Sand)  It tells the story of the battle for Purgatory between Heaven and Fallen Angels led by Sammael.  After Michael is killed by the Fallen, Gabriel, the last of the archangels is sent to find out what happened and destroy the seven Fallen.

Gabriel was a very low budget movie, one that didn't get Government backing.  For it's low budget it's visual styles are quite impressive borrowing from Blade Runner, Night/Day Watch and Dark City.  It's a very gloomy movie, Purgatory is a city of vice, where lost souls live a grimy existence in a world where the sun cannot rise whilst the Fallen have control.  It's action scenes are pretty good, definitely inspired by both Equilibrium and the Matrix, particularly the final confrontation between Gabriel and Sammael, it's beautifully shot and scored.  And speaking of the score, Brian Cachia provides a fantastically haunting backdrop to the movie, "Angel Eulogy" is the stand out piece of his score.

Criticisms of the movie are the dialogue is often a little stale, and a few characters are underdeveloped and a tad clichéd, also some of the choreography lacks in a few fight scenes, but these aren't enough to put me off.  The cast, though not known so well in England (I'm not sure if any of my aussie counterparts know of any of their work before and after) are excellent, particularly Dwayne Stevenson "Sammael" and Samantha Noble "Amatiel".  But Andy Whitfield steals the show as Gabriel, at first noble it's interesting to watch him be corrupted as he is exposed to human emotions, begins to lose faith in his purpose and the heartache of having to destroy his former brothers and sisters. 

It's a fantastic movie IMO, if you guys haven't seen it I suggest you check it out, especially Brian Cachia's score

8/10

A documentary film talking to the Lutz boy who lived in the house for those 28 days. He goes into some detail on the experiences he claims to of had in the house but there isn't really anything new to hear on that front. What I didn't know was just how much he hated his stepfather George, he says some interesting things about him...it's poor timing though as George is no longer alive to defend himself.

To each their own.
Even though I don't think it is as good as the first two, it is still one of the best of its kind regardless, with the the best make-up, and two of the best characters in the series, Rhodes and Bub. Damn good stuff.
My main issue with it is the setting. I really love that opening in the city, but going down into the shafts took this world we were introduced to and then crammed you in a small area. Some may say that adds to the feel as these movies always did center on a more claustrophobic setting, and they may be right. Romero chose smaller budget with more effects vs. bigger budget with less effects. Which would have been better? We may never know, but losing Savini's work would have been a big loss.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: TJ Doc on Jun 29, 2013, 03:48:34 PM
While I do love the cramped and totally depressing film we ended up with, it would have been very interesting to see Romero's original, epic version of Day put to film.

Especially if it still had Pilato taking a knife and fork to the scenery.

Well it was more optimistic than the first one.
Dawn will always be my favorite. Love the four characters and the chemistry they had, loved the creative effects work, it gave rise to the zombies in a mall sub-sub genre and served as the direct inspiration for the Left 4 Dead series. That is just for starters. Also that ending so just so awesomely upbeat, yet it still seems to work.
But Romero has stated that Day is his favorite film that he has done, so TJ...

Blow Out (1981)

De Palma's most overrated thriller has a brilliant, powerful ending, but the rest of the film is a rather dull, uninteresting political conspiracy mishmash with the least threatening assassin ever in the form of John Lithgow and a disappointingly uneven Pino Donaggio score. It does have one of the greatest shots in any movie, though -- the stunning circling shot as John Travolta cradles Nancy Allen as fireworks go off behind them.

I'm deep into a zombie (and pals) binge and this seemed a logical step. The Infected don't really seem to do anything particularly violent in the film when you actually think about it. All of the extreme acts are committed by the uninfected murdering the infected -- for some reason I think I'd rather be bludgeoned to death than hacked to pieces or having my eyes gouged out.

Brain Damage (1988)

A guy wakes up to find a brain eating, talking (and singing!) parasite that looks like a cross between a dick and a turd has decided to make him its new host. Cool premise and some stomach churning gore, but there's not really much of a plot and the film feels long even at only 80 minutes. Fortunately, the main actor is smokin' hot and spends most of the movie writhing around with his shirt off making O-faces. Hnnng.

A terribly dull crime comedy from Woody Allen, who also happened to cast himself in the lead role - only lending to the film's demise.

The cinematography is impeccable and the soundtrack features a fantastic selection - beautifully complimenting the film's 1940s noir feel. And the dialogue is strong for the most part.

Helen Hunt gives the film's best performance - it's nothing groundbreaking but it feels natural. The horribly miscast Woody Allen is like nails on a chalkboard getting increasingly grating as the film drags towards its end. Charlize Theron is a socialite notorious for her antics in the tabloids but her character is vastly underused in the film. She has great screen presence but is ultimately just beautiful icing on top of a bland cake. And the rest of the cast is largely forgettable.

I can't help but think the film was made purely for Woody's woody. In which universe will a woman in a decent position that looks like Helen Hunt fall for an annoying, womanizing investigator that looks like Woody Allen? Let alone a socialite that looks like Charlize Theron? Oh, right, in a Woody Allen film universe.

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is a pretty face with a dull personality. At the start it feels like it's building up to a whimsical noir parody of sorts - which could actually serve the film better. The setup sounds promising enough but without an ounce of suspense and with a terrible lead, it's a waste of time. With an attractive, charismatic lead and some script polishing (maybe a twist or two); this could have been significantly better.

I'm not proud to say I watched Hancock in the cinema three times. I mean the second half of the film was mostly great and Charlize was great in it but I don't think it's a film that's worth that many viewings on the big screen. :P

The first time I watched it opening night (which was strangely released here a day or two before the US). The second time I went with family who surprisingly liked it. And the third time it was a film I watched on a date (not my choice that time).

The Longest Day
Prior to Apocalypse Now, this was my favorite war film. While suffering from the limitations of he time, such as being prohibited to show the gratuitous violence that is commonplace in war, the film is still able to capture the more horrific side of things in its accurate depiction of the D Day Invasion. Special praise goes to the horrific scene where the paratrooper is hung up on a church steeple and is forces to watch all his fellow paratroopers gunned down by enemy fire.

Europa Report (2013)

It was alright. We get to follow the crew of Europa One, sent on a mission to explore one of Jupiter's moons, Europa. It's filmed through the cameras on the ship, the helmets on the crew and some interviews with the people behind the mission and it jumps back and forth in the timeline. The cast was decent and I had completely forgotten that Christian Camargo and Michael Nyqvist was in this. I expected a much larger role from Sharlto Copley though.

The only found footage films worth watching are Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield. And even Cloverfield is pushing it because the viral marketing has more substance than the film itself.

As for zombie films:

Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Planet Terror and Zombieland are all marginally better than the Rec films. :P

World War Z

This was bad. Not dreadful, nor godawful, nor terrible. But it was bad. And boring. Felt like three or four different movies stitched together with poor transitions and Brad Pitt's facial hair. The zombies were just hilarious. Not threatening in the least. Shaun of the Dead was scarier and more tense than this. The zombies in that were more threatening ten-fold.

This was just... boring.

Goddamnit, why did my brother and father want to see it?

Vertigo (1958)

This is apparently the greatest film of all time, according to the last Sight & Sound poll, dethroning that other classic (read: safe) choice Citizen Kane from the top spot. But ya know what?

De Palma's borderline remake Obsession is better.

Now that I've committed cinema blasphemy, I'll say that yes, most of the film is brilliantly done by Hitchcock, the performances are great, and the rich technicolor cinematography is often gorgeous -- but there are so many poorly done bits on a script level, too many clunky passages of convoluted exposition completely for the sake of the audience and not the story itself, the worst offender being the scene where Kim Novak writes a letter explaining the entire murder plot... and then immediately tears it up so that the movie can resume now that the audience has been lazily brought up to speed. De Palma one ups Hitch bigtime in his version of the twist reveal scene, turning it into a dazzling, audacious setpiece of bravura filmmaking, instead of the banal, stagy treatment here, another problem which effects many of the early scenes where characters just stand around in one room, setting up the plot for the audience's benefit. Worse still, the romance has no no plausible progression whatsoever, but Hitchcock's dreamy handling and Herrmann's passionate score almost make up for that. Too bad the ending is terribly staged and unintentionally comedic -- I suppose Novak magically flew over that good five feet between her and the edge of the bell tower?

8/10

Never was the best of Hitchcock for me. I put stuff like The Birds, Young and Innocent, Rear Window, Psycho all above it. Just doesn't click with me.

Not to interrupt the Hitchcock love with my last movie. (On a personal note Rear Window and North by Northwest are awesome)

But... Four Brothers 2005

Revenge thriller starring Mark Wahlberg, Garrett Hedlund, Andre Benjamin and Tyrese Gibson, as four orphaned brothers reunited after the death of their mother in an apparent armed robbery.  As the four come to terms with the loss of the woman who saved them from a life of delinquency and crime, they begin to dig deeper into the events surrounding her death, unveiling involvement from corrupt police and local gangsters, tearing the town down around them to find the people responsible.

From the outset, I enjoyed this movie, the chemistry between Wahlberg, Benjamin, Hedlund and Gibson works really well on screen, and all immerse themselves into their roles so well that them being brothers is believable.  Wahlberg is his usual tough, no nonsense self, Hedlund impressive as the naïve, but wannabe tough guy Jack, the youngest of the four.  Andre Benjamin is a surprise for me having never seen him in a movie beforehand as the oldest brother Jeremiah, the only one who didn't leave town.  Jeremiah is a family man who got involved unintentionally with local gangster Victor Sweet, the films primary antagonist.  On the subject of Victor Sweet, he is played excellently by Chiwetel Ejiolfor, who almost steals the show.  He's a perfect villain, an absolute dick but every moment he's on screen he simply swallows up the room around him, terrifying at times.

My gripes with the movie, Terence Howard is wasted a little as Detective Greene, an honest cop who has a back history with the brothers but it is only ever hinted at during conversations, he's such an interesting character caught between serving the law and doing what is right.  The dialogue at times losing it's way, but not often.  They were my only issues, the action is great, the editing, sharp and in time with the movies rhythm and the performances of the films leads evoke the right kind of emotions from a film about son's losing their mother.

Not a masterpiece, but very enjoyable. 7.5/10

Atlantic Rim (2013)

Despite a plot that makes no sense and characters almost as bland as the actors are sucky, it was kind of fun to watch. The lead is a creep though and reminds me of a disgusting mix between Ryan Reynolds and Christian Slater. And they pretty much ripped off the whole ending from The Avengers, with a guy in a red iron suit grabbing hold of a nuke and flying it into space in order to stop it from blowing up Manhattan.

Not one of his best thrillers but still extremely entertaining from start to finish. De Palma knows how to do a thriller with comedic flair. A vast improvement on the tasteless Dressed to Kill although still rough around the edges.

Truth be told, I find some of Tippi's allegations hard to believe as I have yet to hear any collaborative statements and evidence. The most vocal detractors of her account are actually other leading ladies such as Eva Marie Saint and Kim Novak who vouched for and continue to vouch for him. That being said, it could just be the admiration for his work as an artist makes me not want to believe such claims.

Anyway,

There ya go.

There is ample evidence that she's telling the truth, and people who worked on those productions with her have supported her. Who cares what Kim Novak et all say? They weren't there, their two cents is pretty worthless.

Hero worship doesn't mean you have to apologize and excuse the atrocious behavior of people like Hitchcock or Woody Allen.

This book is a good place to start, from the most celebrated Hitchcock biographer:

The book is very controversial, and a lot of the reviews are from Tippi bashers (basically the "that lying whore!" shit you read on internet message boars writ large). You'll have to decide where you stand. I think Tippi is 100% truthful. It's blatantly obvious the guy was a nasty piece of work -- a brilliant one, but still.

Much Ado About Nothing (2012)

Well, this was charming. I loved it. This is one of my favourite Shakespearean comedies, so to see it on the big screen, played out by some actors that I truly adore, and directed by a man whose work I thoroughly enjoy, was just a treat. As with many Shakespeare adaptations, the setting was modernized, something that I've never really liked. However, Whedon et al make it work. They make it work really well. Every actor just slipped perfectly into their character, and the on-screen chemistry was simply a joy to behold.

If you're a fan of Shakespeare, or Whedon, or both, I highly recommend this adaptation.

The Girl (2012)

Superb lead performances from Sienna Miller and Toby Jones as Tippi Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock, with a very solid script, but the whole thing is let down by some very poor direction that screams "TV movie", no matter how many times director Julian Jarrold eschews Hitchockian style and tries to emulate David Lynch and Lars von Trier (Mulholland Dr. and Melancholia are glaringly obvious inspirations here).

The Howling, Howling II: Stirba – Werewolf Bitch & The Howling Reborn

So that's one classic horredy, one genre curio wherein Reb Brown and Christopher Lee massacre hordes of werewolves with rifles, axes, titanium stakes and the holy hand grenade; and one clearly Twilight-inspired reboot that neither offends nor amazes (but does feature the most hilarious use of 'Don't Fear the Reaper' I've ever witnessed).

And there are at least five more of these movies I still haven't seen.

The Lone Ranger (2013)

I had a lot of fun watching this. The story is pretty straightforward - a group of Texas Rangers are killed in an ambush, leaving only one survivor. With the aid of Tonto, a Comanche tribesman (played by Johnny Depp), John Reid dons the mask to become the Lone Ranger, in order to bring the killers to justice.

I liked the cast and the character. Let me start of by saying that yes, there is a lot of Jack Sparrow in Depp's performance. With that being said, it was a lot of fun to watch. Armie Hammer did well in the title role and him and Depp worked well together. Hammer reminded me a lot of Jared Padalecki in both appearance and voice, which was even funnier due to his character's similarities with Sam Winchester.

The supporting cast was good as well. William Fichtner was excellent as the sleezy villain and Ruth Wilson was nice as Rebecca Reid, both gentle and beautiful. There's nothing unexpected about the roles, but the cast brought them to life in a satisfying way.

The action was fun to watch as well and the music in the final scenes only added to that.

To sum it up, if you go into this expecting a big and fun adventure movie, you're not going to be disappointed. When it comes to the tone of the movie, I would call it a mix between The Mask of Zorro and Shanghai Noon. There's a lot of humor here, but some really well done dramatic scenes as well.

Snake Eyes (1998)

The first two acts are a mesmerizing tour de force of style from Brian De Palma, with an entertaining Nic Cage performance dialed up to eleven, and there's a great Ryuichi Sakamoto score. In many ways this feels like a trial run for his later, much superior Femme Fatale. Too bad it fizzles out with a really lame third act.

Mulholland Falls (1996)

Nick Nolte, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Madsen and Chris Penn are detectives in '50s Los Angeles investigating the death of a young woman. This was pretty cool. It's not an amazing film by any stretch but I am always up for some neo-noir crime thrillers particularly with the Los Angeles back-drop (L.A. Confidential being a big favorite.) – The main cast was pretty good; as was the supporting, Melanie Griffith, Treat Williams, John Malkovich and Jennifer Connelly.

Holy f**k Bumblebee tore decepticon whatever the f**k it's name was apart Mortal Kombat style. Holy f**k Devestator is swallowing the f**king desert and pyramid. There's shit flying everywhere. Get the f**king twins out it was getting good again. f**k EVERYTHING SCORPONOK. Optimus Prime just added a new face to his wall of: f**k you I'm Optimus Prime.

Schindler's List (1993)

First time seeing it. What a fantastic movie. Some scenes were hard to watch, but that comes with the subject. Strong performances from Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes. I really liked Schindler's and Goeth's talk about what power really is, as well as the last scene. Took me a while to realize that those were both the real persons as well as the actors/actresses that portrayed them.

Man of Steel


5/10


The movie had no f**king pace whatsoever. The entire thing moved way too fast for me to even have a moment to think about what was happening, or how I felt during certain scenes. The only real emotion I felt was whenever Kevin Costner showed up, but everything else just didn't meet even my lowest of expectations. There are so many things that I did not like at all, but the biggest one has to be how the final fight ended. I wasn't expecting for it to happen, but when it became clear that there was no other way to end it...I just don't know. This entire movie was just ACTION, ACTION, ACTION. Holy shit why the f**k did they not take a pause. It's like every damn scene you had some catastrophic event occur, why...why do that? This movie made me feel f**king dead inside while watching it. As I said before, it's only because of Kevin Costner that I didn't just walk out of the theater.

To summarize, if I wanted a movie about an alien boy being sent to Earth because his home planet is about to explode, and upon arriving on Earth he is adopted, goes on to learn how to be human, grows up to be this symbol of hope, this happy-going guy who will stand his ground against any evil that comes his way, BUT with an engaging story that actually has me invested, actually has me give a shit about what's happening on screen without being this total f**king mess...I would have stayed home and watched my VHS tapes of Dragonball Z.

There has yet to be a good Superman film. :P

They're either way too dated, tacky, boring or (in this case) have way too much action and not nearly enough substance.

It seems like it's too much to ask for a Superman film with the right amount of balance and a character that remains interesting.

The positives of Man of Steel are that at least they did away with the silly people-don't-recognise-Clark-Kent-as-Superman angle. Also, Henry Cavill is the best looking Superman and this is the best the costume has looked. I personally don't mind how the final fight ended - it was logical. There were so many other problems the film had, though, that it was difficult to actually enjoy it. The action just gave me a headache.

I swear, that final scene at the Daily Planet made me want to throw up. Just look at Clark still trying to act like the good guy, especially after what he did in the fight against Zod...god damn it. I just wanted to throw something at the screen. That wasn't Superman, f**k that shit.

Psycho (1960)

Ingenious plot, brilliant Herrmann score, great directing and performances. It's not the flawless diamond it's hailed as (like Vertigo, the actual climax is badly rushed and almost comedic, and the ridiculous psychological exposition scene at the end goes on foreeeevvvvveeerrrr), but it's still a masterpiece.

10/10

IT'S STARING INTO MY VERY SOUL

Quote from: BANE on Jul 04, 2013, 11:02:31 PMWhat would you give it out of 10?
About a 7/10.
Not all of the jokes worked for me. Granted, most did, but a lot of them just felt forced. Mainly the nods to the first film, as I mentioned before.
Spoiler
I didn't feel Randall was set up as a villain very well, either. I mean, sure, they gave SOMEWHAT of a reason for him to dislike Sully, but never explicitly a reason for him to dislike Mike. If I remember correctly, he disliked them both in Monsters Inc. While the film was very emotional at times, there were a few scenes where I just felt that it was lacking something. The connection between Mike and Sully jumped all over the place, too. There wasn't really any point where they slowly built themselves up as friends, it just seemed that suddenly they were friends at some point.

A Fourth Of July tradition:

Jurassic Park 2012 Digital remaster version (still watching actually)

I had the Collectors Edition too but decided to give this a try. Glad I did! There are little sounds I never heard before and the dialogue is crystal clear which makes me very excited! The picture is better than the collectors edition imo too.

Next up is the remaster version of The Lost World, another Fourth Of July tradition! Who needs fireworks when you got JP? :laugh:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

I loved this way more than I ever expected to. The beginning was definitely a bit slow, so I can see where those complaints come from, but I found the movie to be fascinating on so many levels. Everything from Spock's visually and thematically stunning journey through V'Ger up to the moment that the credits began to roll was awe inspiring. The final twist, and the moments that surrounded it, were near perfect in the context of the film.

This movie gets way too much hate.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

I really liked this classic entry in the Trek franchise, and definitely found it to be worthy of all of the praise that it receives. It was very cool seeing where most of the inspiration for the recent Star Trek Into Darkness came from, and even more important is the fact that Wrath of Khan works very well on its own merits (I personally have yet to see the Star Trek: The Original Series episode 'Space Seed'). The ending worked very well on an emotional level (hampered only ever so slightly by the fact that I am aware of the premise of the third film), and it was made even better by the chilling yet inspiring final monologue.

Call me crazy, though, but I think I actually preferred the first film overall. :o

Can't wait to get my hands on the third one!

Rear Window (1954)

Dazzlingly beautiful young Grace Kelly throws herself at ancient, flabby jerkass James Stewart for a half hour of unbelievable, dull, workmanlike character drama before the actual plot starts -- but once it does Hitchcock is in prime suspense mode, and not even blatant mistakes like people entering without knocking or Stewart flubbing his line readings can stop him, at least not til the anticlimactic rushjob finale (Raymond Burr throws Stewart out a window, and then literally 20 seconds later the cops have a full confession - wut).

8/10

Solid Hitchcock thriller with a good premise and good performances that starts to spin its wheels in the last act, and yet another ridiculously abrupt climax. Loosely remade by Park Chan-wook as the superior Stoker.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Oh look guys, Roland Emmerich's made a disaster movie....  Getting over my initial shock, this offering from the master of destroying cityscapes was well... a bit... meh.  It's just so boring!  It rains and then get's cold... that's about it.  Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal are solid enough but given nothing to work with.  The other cast members are forgettable and the dialogue is a little stale.  I just never felt a sense of danger throughout the movie, it was just dull.  Ian Holm makes a nice little appearance and the effects are great but other than that it was... meh!  A hell of a lot better than 2012 though. Not a bad movie, not a particularly good movie, dull but watchable 5.5/10

I meant the "abrupt ending" bit :P I've complained about it in every Hitchcock review. Seems to be a running theme.

Lolita (1962)

Upping the title character's  age really hurts the story, and at 2 and half hours the film is a bit indulgent and overlong, but the black humor is biting, the performances brilliant and Kubrick's handling second to none as always.

8/10

Off the top of my head, I didn't have any problems with the endings to Psycho or Strangers on a Train.

The Birds definitely has that problem, though.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

Nah, the ending to The Birds is brilliant. Psycho on the other hand suffers from an ending that goes on too long, with that ridiculous police station speech explaining everything, and then explaining it again, and then explaining it a litttttle bit more in case the slower folks in the audience didn't understand.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

I guess I can give you that; it never bothered me, though.

And with The Birds I just wasn't overly fond of the movie in general. It's definitely good, I just couldn't really get into it like I could with some of Hitchcock's other movies that I've seen, and the ending didn't really do much to help me :P

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

You know what, so far I completely disagree with the 'odd numbered Star Trek films are terrible' theory. I had a lot of fun with this one. It was much more of a space opera than Trek's usual attempt at what could be considered semi-plausible science fiction, but I loved seeing more of the mystical (maybe even a bit illogical) nature of Vulcan society. Lots of great emotion in this one, and while not as good as its predecessor it was a worthy followup to Wrath of Khan. If I have just one complaint it is that they definitely underused Christopher Lloyd.

I agree with you completely about the odd-numbered thing (with the exception of V and Generations).

I, too, absolutely loved The Search for Spock. Personally, I felt it kinda dipped in quality by the end, and didn't give the proper drama and weight to some moments (a certain death, to be precise). However, the overall was fantastic, and the movie was nigh-flawless for most of its run.

Can't wait to hear what you say about The Voyage Home. :)

Tenebre (1982)

This is often hailed as a masterpiece, but it's really just typical Dario Argento giallo Euroshlock, complete with awful acting, atrocious dubbing, a silly, nonsensical script, and a laughably ill-fitting Goblin score. It's got one great scene where beautiful transgender actress Eva Robins covorts topless on a beach with young boys (all the better to give stupid horror fanboys boners and then send them into a panic when they check IMDB later), and the killer reveal shot is pretty cool, enough even that De Palma swiped it and bettered it in Raising Cain.

I just got through watching Batman Begins on glorious Bluray, and to all you ultra-discerning unclef**kers out there who complain about how the dire-logue ruins the Star Wars prequels... have you seen these bloody films? I don't think anyone on the planet has ever had an exchange of words which mirrored those of the main characters. And all the incidental characters must just secretly want to kill themselves for sounding so corny.
Personally I don't care, any film which involves anything more elaborate than a grunted "sup" is unnatural to me, but I get the impression that many detractors of the prequel trilogy overlook similar points in the Dark Knight trilogy.

Film looked gorgeous though, and along with American Psycho I'm starting to remember why I used to love Christian Bale so much. The action's not as well done as in the subsequent films though, it's full of rapid-fire cutting from odd angles which gives you only a vague impression of what's going on. Seems funny to think about looking back on it, but this was the first time Chris Nolan directed an action pic and it shows; I remember thinking at the time that he wasn't cut out for it.

First half hour of Dawn of the Dead, followed by the remake.

I don't hold the original as the greatest zombie movie ever, or even the best of the original trilogy (I prefer Night and Day, with the three together forming pretty much the definitive zombie experience), but it's a great horror movie. The remake, on the other hand, is everything that's wrong with modern horror; overly stylised and confusing loud noises with actual scares.

I prefer the world of Romero's Dead films to modern zombie movies as well, with things taking place gradually, rather than the modern standard of people literally waking up one morning to find the entire world royally f**ked. Zombies have been wide-spread for three weeks or so (at least) in the original Dawn going by dialogue in the opening scene, whereas within three days the TVs are off the air in the remake.

Zombie movies, as a horror subgenre, are a great example of "It ain't broke, don't fix it". They were never broke, so why do people still insist on trying to fix it? 28 Days Later ... was a fairly creative re-imagining of the genre as a whole without trying to rewrite the book. Snyder's Dawn onwards just seems like people who don't understand zombie movies trying to make zombie movies.

Except Shaun of the Dead. That movie still kicks arse.

I personally like the remake (though not nearly as much as the original), but these issues are undeniable.
At times the remake is too pretty to look at and as a result really takes you out of the scenes, especially those slow motion gun shots which I found very irritating. Also, the characters are not nearly as good. Only four of them are noteworthy and the rest are underdeveloped fodder.
The remake started the current over stylized trend and sadly was imitated to the point that it is no longer unique.
Zombie flicks have been done to death as of late and now seem to be following the same downward spiral as slasher films in the 80s, with only a few gems hidden amongst them. They need a break.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

This movie was an absolute blast. When I first heard the whale premise I was initially put off a little, but it wound up making for a very fun movie. The time travel made for some very interesting shenanigans with the crew (I was laughing constantly throughout), the story was surprisingly good, and the ending made for a great conclusion to the mini-trilogy of II, III, and IV that exists within the Star Trek film series.

And its good to know that Spock did too much 'LDS' in the 60s :D

Hated it from start to finish for several reasons.

Lame villains
Aunt May
Mary Jane
Emo Peter Parker
More emo Harry Osborn
THAT REPORTER AND HER AWFUL BRITISH ACCENT

Venom was underused, Sandman was pointless, save to tie up what happened to Uncle Ben, Harry's Butler neglects to mention that he knew his father was responsible for his own death but neglected to tell Harry until the last minute because of lazy writing.  Aunt May is THE most annoying character in the whole series, Mary Jane, bland, emotionally bereft, ungrateful wench.  Eddie Brock... who cares, Sandman bad guy/not really a bad guy/ daughter's ill... who cares...

THAT REPORTER AND THAT GODDAMN ACCENT!!!  Peter Parker going all 30 Seconds to Mars and strutting down the street... "Dig on this..."   What the hell were they thinking?!!!

Awesome movie with lots of great sword fights and cool action scenes. Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas ooze pure badassery. The villains are a little weak, though, but it doesn't do the film any serious harm. I've never seen the sequel, but I think I'll be avoiding it.

Once Upon A Time in the West rivals Butch Cassidy, Jeremiah Johnson, and True Grit for my favourite Western ever. Only Leone film I liked more than it was Once Upon A Time in America.

So, yeah, it's better than A Fistful of Dynamite. (Although I did like A Fistful of Dynamite, it is clearly Sergio's weakest film.)

Great movie. The opening actually managed to give me goosebumps, a first for me in all my time watching Evangelion. Lots of great moments in the film, the action was awesome as it should have been. Everything managed to fit perfectly into place. Honestly couldn't have asked for more.

Man of Steel.

via a good quality piratebay copy.

But i didnt watch the last 20 minutes because... i couldnt care about watching the rest. :P

This was a shit film.

Superman allows
Spoiler
his own father to die folks.. to "show that he trusted and loved his father... and respected his decision that it was best for clark to hide his powers. Because if clark showed himself to not be human, it would change the world too much, religious people would piss their pants."...
[close]
lol oh the convoluted DRAMA! :laugh: ...doesnt that strike you as "wrong" for the character.. whose chief trait was allways his selflessness? Having him let his father die just gives the impression that he ultimately cared more about his safety than his fathers. He also has more action scenes than lines of dialogue.... wich is probably a sign that Nolan and Goyer just admited to themselves that they couldnt write the character that well.....all in all... i think Superman's dead father had more lines. :P

Some nice ship and armour designs.. i liked the Hans Zimmer score, despite the fact that Snyder seemingly insisted on having it be at full throttle ALL THE TIME during the film.

Ugh.

But now i just want to watch the All Star Superman film and reread the Birthright comic book to cleanse the palate and enjoy good solid superman stories. :P

Have you seen Superman vs. The Elite? ;)

I found Clark's motivation a bit fuzzy in Man of Steel.

Spoiler
He let his father die, not only so he could protect his secret as Clark Kent, but also because the world wasn't ready to know of him. Yet he have no problems using his powers to get back on some asshole in a bar. Yeah, he didn't trash that guy's truck in front of people, but that was a display of superpowers for some petty revenge when he refused to risk exposure in order to save his father's life. It just seems weird. Especially when he had no problem showing himself to the crew on the oil rig. They didn't know who Clark was, but as they said before, keeping him a secret was more than just protecting Clark's identity. :-\

He was right!  :laugh:

and that bit ended up being sintomatic of the film's treatment of superman himself.  :P

Surprisingly i actually liked Russel Crowe's performance more than Henry Cavill's  :laugh:

DeNiro's character was different from the original, so RD had a more intelligent (?) and creepy aspect to him than Mitchum's character.
There are aspects about the remake that are better. It is a much better shot movie, the title sequence beats the original, Kersek is a main character so his death has impact, Scorsese is a much better director, and the family being dysfunctional created conflict that Cady exploited.
DeNiro, who I am a HUGE fan of (more so than Mitchum) is sadly what killed it for me. He seemed to outlandish to be realistic, with the religious angle and the seeking justice quest. Mitchum's motivations were simple and sinister, a rapist stalking a kid. Peck was more likable, so it was more shocking that he sank to the depths he did to get rid of Cady. Nolte's character was not exactly likable, so his turn is not a surprise.
I am not biased against remakes and Cape Fear is a good one, but the original still wins for me.

Actually, it was me he was throwing those accusations at. ::)

With that being said, this isn't exactly what I had in mind when I defended the notion that Jor-El could be both a scientist and a badass. I was thinking something more in the line of Jor-El from the animated series. I do find it a bit odd that Russ-El can kick the shit out of people who were created for war.

Not that it wasn't kind of awesome to watch, but it didn't make much sense. :-\

Sandman.... whines about his daughter the whole movie then apologises to Peter Parker,

Harry Osborn spends the better part of 2 movies trying to kill Spiderman but saves his life at the cost of his own

Even Doc Ock suddenly has a change of heart in Spiderman 2 and saves the city at the cost of his own life...

Contrast that with what's-his-name as the Lizard. He was so bland. And boring. I just... couldn't take him seriously as a threat. The performance had nothing behind it.

Dafoe was simply awful. I have never seen a case where an actor hammed up a role so bad, it affected the total enjoyability of the rest of the film. He was one of my 3 main gripes with Spider-man.



Even First Blood thinks Dafoe hammed it up:

Yup. It had been such an unabashedly comic-booky movie up to that point (and did it very well), so that moment came as extra surprising in its raw brutality.

I think Marines said all I could hope to about DaFoe's performance (and no shit he 'hammed it up', look at the character).

IMDb. It's obviously a reshoot, duh. That's common knowledge. It was even talked about in the news around the time of release and contributed to the film's huge ass opening weekend -- dat patriotic fervor.

... or at least the last 20 minutes or so on Cvalda's stream. John Waters look-a-like psycho-terrorized Superman's girlfriend. Cow standing next to couch at a train station. DePalma signature music playing. The End.

Great movie. :)

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Pretty much everything a blockbuster should be. I loved, loved this. Had a blast all the way through. Really enjoyed what they did with all the characters. That's how you do a sequel. Easily Abrams' best.

Spoiler
I just wish Kirk's comeback was left for the next film, leaving us with a ESB-ish cliffhanger.

Aye, Finding Nemo is great. Haven't heard of The Invincibles, but I love The Incredibles :P Ratatouille is excellent, and Brave, while far from being Pixar's best, is better than the Cars movies (which in and of themselves aren't terrible, just not up to Pixar's usual standard) and is visually stunning.

See, what Carpenter's Thing needed was atrocious, shitty CGI, an awful focus tested cast of Americans comprising seemingly half a Norwegian camp, a pathetically wimpy little girl-woman lead, and a third act that just steals Fight the Future's climactic set piece.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a very, very long time. A depressingly, ruthlessly awful piece of shit, and the most unflattering example of modern studio "filmmaking" I think I've ever seen.

I hadn't seen this movie in years, but damn it was funny. It's probably Jim Carrey's best, and he gets to literally be a cartoon (even more so than usual). Oh, and Cameron Diaz is smokin' hot in this.

Oh, and I almost jumped for joy when I saw that the body shop his car is in is the same set as the fire department from Ghostbusters. Seriously, it is.

No worries, I did too -- and I am an unimaginably big enthusiast of Carpenter's.

Quite obviously not on par with the latter... but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. I just wish they kept the things (ha!) they either covered up with cgi or simply deleted. Would've made for a more enjoyable visual element.

Poor script aside, I still enjoyed this movie, great practical effects and editing, worthy performances from Anton Yelchin, Sam Worthington and Christian Bale.  Overall a solid instalment of the franchise, a lot of room for improvement but definitely leaps and bounds ahead of Rise of the Machines

The actual passage leading to the ship is small; but the entrance are is pretty big -- enormous chunks of ice removed and everything.

There is a pretty gaffe though later in the film: no kerosene when they kill Splitface, and when it burns it looks different. Though you could say it mutated further after. Buh.

Compulsion (2013)

QuoteThe lives of two female neighbors intersect when their individual obsessions begin to unravel.

The main thing that stuck out to me while watching this film is that I couldn't help but compare it to Passion even if they are ultimately really different films. The campy quality of this film is just as apparent (if not moreso). The film is very self-aware of it's trashy edge and while it often skates that fine line of complete tastelessness, it never crosses it. And just like Passion, it's a remake of a foreign film (301, 302) which is much more subdued. The director makes some welcome changes. But the most glaring similarity between this and Passion is that it suffers the same terrible marketing and unfair, misunderstood response.

This "3.7/10" film (according to IMDb) is far better than the endless mind-numbing, immature shlock being spewed out by Hollywood.

Compulsion plays out like a very twisted version of one of Roald Dahl's adult short stories with a lot more flavour and campiness which serves the film really well. The film is elegantly paced, despite the awkward flashback scenes. Heather Graham is in her element here and steals the show, while Carrie-Anne Moss does a fine job at playing her enigmatic celebrity neighbour.

Graham stars as Amy, a woman obsessed with food. Her life revolves around food and how others respond to her cooking. Even her foreplay involves food. She tries to strike up a friendship with her latest obsession - her neighbour, Saffron. When Saffron doesn't respond with much enthusiasm, this confuses and frustrates her. Now both of her obsessions aren't going according to plan. But Amy isn't one to back down and continues to pursue Saffron with her cooking.

One thing I hated in the film is how they handled the flashback scenes involving Saffron. They were visually terrible and emotionally flat. But, thankfully, this was not nearly enough to ruin the film for me and overall it was a deliciously entertaining experience.

"Fast food is like pornography, not much of a substitute for the real thing but ready and available when you need it."

8/10

X-Files: Fight The Future

Even without having seen the series up to the point where this debuted, I ended up having a lot of fun with it, likely thanks to the 'noob friendly exposition' that went on in the earlier scenes. Loved the stylish direction, great score, and genuinely effective twist moments... noting the stuff lifted for Prometheus was also amusing, if not at times distracting (the finale with the ship in particular).

The dynamic, or relationship (Carter snickers at me from behind the curtain) between Scully and Mulder certainly shines here and works as great proof to its legendary status. Really did make me want to pick the series up again and work my way up to that point to get the full context and understand more of the illuminoitus (illumnites, illumnatus, illuminaries, illuminaughts?) agenda and finally see Scully and Mulder fu-- SHUT UP, CARTER!

Still on the zombies.

As much as I love the "zombies take over the world" setting of most zombie films, I can't help but think that the last five minutes of Shaun of the Dead presents a much more plausible outcome to the zombie plague; we fight back, kick their arses, and drag the ones we let live onto trash reality TV or give menial jobs like parking trolleys.

A few Universities have actually done some (albeit minor, and no doubt lacking a lot ideas) 'research' into a hypothetical zombie plague. Apparentley if not stopped rapidly it will spread to become uncontrollable - but this should be taken with plenty of salt.

Agreed!

RE: The Cracked article it's a matter of pick-your-zombie-variant.
Hypothetically those could all apply, but if we take the popular Max Brooks 'Solanum' virus, point 7 was ruled-out and 1 discussed heavily.
Though on climate conditions, a zombie couldn't survive deserts or polar, but as Brooks said the average human wouldn't do very well either.

A short, sweet, and most surprisingly- genuinely funny and self-aware movie. Running only 67 minutes, it felt like a fun, cheesy sci-fi adventure serial and caught me off guard with its whacky spirit. It's what an Asylum film should be, instead of being a frustrating eyesore that becomes hard to even laugh at. With this, I felt like I was laughing at it just as much as I was with it.

It just needs to be seen to be understood... I personally had a great time watching it.  :D

Literally apart from a couple of names and ideas has nothing to do with Stephen King's brilliant short story on which it is based.  It doesn't hold the sentiment, or get what the story was actually about.  A loud brash, dumb, AHNOLD movie.  But I can't help but love it as a movie, one of the glorious action flicks I grew up with as a child.  Cheesy one liners, ridiculous villains and Jesse Ventura, freaking love it! 7/10

Saw Man of Steel again, this time in a theater, with a friend. (first time was with a good quality piratebay rip lol)

I liked the film a bit more this time around... but it still doesnt really work.

I get that their version of Clark Kent was a victim of bullying for a lot of his life, and is quiet and reserved due to those experiences.... A lot of dialogue isnt something you'd get from that kind of character... and that's fine.. but David Goyer forgot to make his inner life engrossing and interesting to me. The "sacrifice" of a father figure is still nonsensical if you think it through, but it makes sense when seen as a painful "spur of the moment" decision... wich it very much was in the film. The final "decision" regarding Zod didnt bother me on the first viewing and still doesnt bother me. In the comic books, Superman allways seems to have a "deus ex machina" way to deal with his opponents without killing them..... eh. The very few final moments at the Daily Planet did bring a smile to my face... The flashbacks were a fine way to work around a linear and boring re-telling of a well known "origin story" and i really liked those elements of the film. The stuff with the Kents is still the best stuff in the film. Michael Shannon was a lousy Zod. Not a patch on Terrence Stamp... Antje Traue was a cool Faora, but didnt get enough to do.

My final score is a 5/10. Much better than Superman Returns but still not really a good "SUPERMAN" film... One hell of a missed opportunity.

- The Krypton stuff looked straight out of European "bande dessiné", very much in the style of Jodorowsky, Moebius and Metal Hurlant stuff. The best "design" krypton has had, in film, animated or comic books. Loved it. :)

Pacific Rim

So much has already been said for this movie that my two cents seem miniscule when cast into the sea, or fountain, if you will, of positivity. Either way, I got my wish and more: this movie was thoroughly and utterly f**king awesome.

Guillermo Del Toro's end result is exactly what he set out to provide; a throbbing love letter dripping with Kaiju blood, sizzling scorch marks and all. It's raw, beautifully executed, unfiltered fun from beginning to end and never fails to provide awe-inducing visuals and full of moments to make the crowd go wild (and, at my screening at least, they did). Cynics disturbed by thoughtful, large scale fun, keep your admission money tucked in your pocket.

From the imposing Jaegers and Kaiju to the grandiose set designs, it's a truly impressive piece of world building that drops you right into a world that gives a true sense of one that has already been in motion before you got to the theater. Off-hand references to operations, battles, and practices give life to the world in ways reminiscent of Blade Runner (a favorite of screenwriter Travis Beacham's, and clearly paid homage to in the massive future Hong Kong sets). Everything flows together perfectly, from CGI to practical sets and elements, the transition is difficult to note with such a strong visual coherence compliments of Guillermo Del Toro's vision and the work from his favored cinematographer Guillermo Navarro and the masters at ILM.

The fights between the Kaiju and Jaegers are breathtaking; it was impossible for me to get rid of the wide grin plastered across my face. Sometimes it wasn't a matter of grinning at all, but a gaping mouth, which I sometimes found myself covering with one hand, holding back a joyous 'holy shit' or 'f**k yeah'-- there were kids present. A few rows down from me was a kid who had clearly dragged the rest of his family to the movie, devoted to see it at the local premiere showing. I couldn't help but see some of myself in him, dragging my mom, dad, and brothers to something like Jurassic Park III back in 2001. Half of the movie he was leaning forward in his seat invested in both the monster vs machine spectacle and human drama in between. So was I; a mind-meld of marveling at the screen in front of us. Him and his mom sat through the credits (likely forced), as I did, and at the end, something I wasn't expecting (though I feel as though I should have) happened-- he turned around and excitedly asked me what I thought of the movie.

I must have taken a moment to respond, because this was one of those moments that I find surreal in nature, and possibly the greatest note to leave the theater on. I told him that I loved it, and he asked what my favorite Jaeger was; told him that I thought it was going to be Crimson Typhoon, but came out more of a Striker Eureka fan (obviously explained a bit of the details on how I had all of this foreknowledge); apparently I wasn't the only one anticipating it because his mom said that he had basically been losing his shit for the past six months or so months in anticipation as well. Reminded me of my first days on the internet, scrounging for the slightest bits of JP3 news. We shared a couple favorite moments and parted ways, leaving me to stew over how about I would express this properly in my review. I think this does the job-- but what about the other aspects of the film?

The cast is strong and charismatic, all one could hope for from a proper summer blockbuster. Relatability, a sincere emotional center, effective comic relief (compliments of Charlie Day, who plays his character delightfully, and always great companions, Ron Perlman and Burn Gorman), and a sense that all that were involved were just having a blast during production. It really shows. Genre tropes are all very self-aware and in good fun, not distracting from the overall integrity of the film, and making themselves known (and appropriately placed). Speaking of genre, this is one of the best event films to come out in over ten years, if not the best.

Seeing something like this coming out of a western production company is great and refreshing. I had to dodge a maze of awful posters and standees as I made my way to the screen room featuring merde the likes of 'Slo No Mo', 'Grown Ups 2', and 'The Smurfs 2'; luckily I settled into my seat before my sanity barriers were pushed beyond the limits and caused me to risk mental contamination. If we could get more blockbusters like Pacific Rim, full of genuine care and skillfully produced assets, the market wouldn't be so saturated with this other groan-inducing, brain-dead trash.

Speaking of bringing something refreshing to western audiences, it was a marvel to see Pacific Rim's influences brought to life, both with a great realization of today's modern visual technology (Godzilla, Gamera, etc.), and eliminating the need for redundant anime adaptations with all of the right mecha inspirations where they should be (G Gundam, Evangelion, Gunbuster, etc.)-- in an original property. The combination is sheer bliss; a fetishistic experience for fans of any of the genres that the film draws from.

I think I've exhausted this well of love at the moment; much further would be into the spoiler tags, and there's always more discussion to be had-- so I'll keep that out of this review to prevent a one-sided conversation and say this: if at any time elements of this film had you interested, and you walk in with rational expectations -- you will not be disappointed. The trailers could not even do the shots justice; I might as well have been seeing them for the first time in the theater. This is one of the great movie-going experiences to be had.

This sits comfortably beside Star Trek Into Darkness as a 2013 favorite of mine, and hopefully a step toward the reclamation of great summer blockbusters. One can always hope.

Can happily say that it is NOT remotely like the Appalling 18, and not the horror film that the trailer (thankfully) falsely promoted. It's engaging, cold, beautiful, and haunting. I thought the found-footage style may have been the wrong way to go at first, but soon into the movie it proves itself as precisely the best way to go; it can be attributed to the attentive director and strong performances (particular standouts being Michael Nyqvist and Sharlto Copley) that it works perfectly, and truly gives the film its tense atmosphere.

Anybody whose interest remains piqued, or just wants to see a grounded, realistic take on deep space exploration and the trials and tribulations it can cause, I recommend checking this out-- though opinions on the execution of the ending may be split.

I found the porn stimulating, the feeling of being so far away from home and the comfort associated with it, and the actors did a good job, so I was pretty present throughout. I keep going over how the ending could have been better handled in my mind...

Spoiler
...possibly not showing one of the creatures, but I question whether or not that would have felt sort of unfulfilling. Seeing as the goal was to capture evidence of complex life, it gave the expedition (and subsequent tragedies) their purpose that the film seemed to be working toward, so it didn't feel entirely unearned. Maybe something a little less 'in your face' though.

Still, at least it didn't end on a sudden smash to black as soon as the creature came toward the camera, and the shot was held, elaborated on, and served a purpose.

Spoiler
So much has already been said for this movie that my two cents seem miniscule when cast into the sea, or fountain, if you will, of positivity. Either way, I got my wish and more: this movie was thoroughly and utterly f**king awesome.

Guillermo Del Toro's end result is exactly what he set out to provide; a throbbing love letter dripping with Kaiju blood, sizzling scorch marks and all. It's raw, beautifully executed, unfiltered fun from beginning to end and never fails to provide awe-inducing visuals and full of moments to make the crowd go wild (and, at my screening at least, they did). Cynics disturbed by thoughtful, large scale fun, keep your admission money tucked in your pocket.

From the imposing Jaegers and Kaiju to the grandiose set designs, it's a truly impressive piece of world building that drops you right into a world that gives a true sense of one that has already been in motion before you got to the theater. Off-hand references to operations, battles, and practices give life to the world in ways reminiscent of Blade Runner (a favorite of screenwriter Travis Beacham's, and clearly paid homage to in the massive future Hong Kong sets). Everything flows together perfectly, from CGI to practical sets and elements, the transition is difficult to note with such a strong visual coherence compliments of Guillermo Del Toro's vision and the work from his favored cinematographer Guillermo Navarro and the masters at ILM.

The fights between the Kaiju and Jaegers are breathtaking; it was impossible for me to get rid of the wide grin plastered across my face. Sometimes it wasn't a matter of grinning at all, but a gaping mouth, which I sometimes found myself covering with one hand, holding back a joyous 'holy shit' or 'f**k yeah'-- there were kids present. A few rows down from me was a kid who had clearly dragged the rest of his family to the movie, devoted to see it at the local premiere showing. I couldn't help but see some of myself in him, dragging my mom, dad, and brothers to something like Jurassic Park III back in 2001. Half of the movie he was leaning forward in his seat invested in both the monster vs machine spectacle and human drama in between. So was I; a mind-meld of marveling at the screen in front of us. Him and his mom sat through the credits (likely forced), as I did, and at the end, something I wasn't expecting (though I feel as though I should have) happened-- he turned around and excitedly asked me what I thought of the movie.

I must have taken a moment to respond, because this was one of those moments that I find surreal in nature, and possibly the greatest note to leave the theater on. I told him that I loved it, and he asked what my favorite Jaeger was; told him that I thought it was going to be Crimson Typhoon, but came out more of a Striker Eureka fan (obviously explained a bit of the details on how I had all of this foreknowledge); apparently I wasn't the only one anticipating it because his mom said that he had basically been losing his shit for the past six months or so months in anticipation as well. Reminded me of my first days on the internet, scrounging for the slightest bits of JP3 news. We shared a couple favorite moments and parted ways, leaving me to stew over how about I would express this properly in my review. I think this does the job-- but what about the other aspects of the film?

The cast is strong and charismatic, all one could hope for from a proper summer blockbuster. Relatability, a sincere emotional center, effective comic relief (compliments of Charlie Day, who plays his character delightfully, and always great companions, Ron Perlman and Burn Gorman), and a sense that all that were involved were just having a blast during production. It really shows. Genre tropes are all very self-aware and in good fun, not distracting from the overall integrity of the film, and making themselves known (and appropriately placed). Speaking of genre, this is one of the best event films to come out in over ten years, if not the best.

Seeing something like this coming out of a western production company is great and refreshing. I had to dodge a maze of awful posters and standees as I made my way to the screen room featuring merde the likes of 'Slo No Mo', 'Grown Ups 2', and 'The Smurfs 2'; luckily I settled into my seat before my sanity barriers were pushed beyond the limits and caused me to risk mental contamination. If we could get more blockbusters like Pacific Rim, full of genuine care and skillfully produced assets, the market wouldn't be so saturated with this other groan-inducing, brain-dead trash.

Speaking of bringing something refreshing to western audiences, it was a marvel to see Pacific Rim's influences brought to life, both with a great realization of today's modern visual technology (Godzilla, Gamera, etc.), and eliminating the need for redundant anime adaptations with all of the right mecha inspirations where they should be (G Gundam, Evangelion, Gunbuster, etc.)-- in an original property. The combination is sheer bliss; a fetishistic experience for fans of any of the genres that the film draws from.

I think I've exhausted this well of love at the moment; much further would be into the spoiler tags, and there's always more discussion to be had-- so I'll keep that out of this review to prevent a one-sided conversation and say this: if at any time elements of this film had you interested, and you walk in with rational expectations -- you will not be disappointed. The trailers could not even do the shots justice; I might as well have been seeing them for the first time in the theater. This is one of the great movie-going experiences to be had.

This sits comfortably beside Star Trek Into Darkness as a 2013 favorite of mine, and hopefully a step toward the reclamation of great summer blockbusters. One can always hope.

I will be seeing this in less than an hour. And I can't f**king wait. Wonderful review.

Pacific Rim (2013)

This was for all intents and purposes a absolute blast. It's exactly what a summer time blockbuster should be. A big loud engine of destruction leaving you grinning from ear to ear. Loved the soundtrack too. The opening scene with Gypsy Danger getting prepped to go do battle with a Kaiju was just a small taste of what was to come.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

This was interesting. Definitely the worst of the Trek films thus far, but also one of the most interesting. I loved the themes and ideas that it presents, but found a lot of the execution to be lacking. Overall, though, I would say that the good outweighs the bad to some degree, and I certainly do not regret watching it.

Also, the banter between the Enterprise crew (specifically Kirk, Spock, and Bones) was hilarious.

Undiscovered Country is a pretty good one. It was also directed by Meyer who directed Khan.

Can happily say that it is NOT remotely like the Appalling 18, and not the horror film that the trailer (thankfully) falsely promoted. It's engaging, cold, beautiful, and haunting. I thought the found-footage style may have been the wrong way to go at first, but soon into the movie it proves itself as precisely the best way to go; it can be attributed to the attentive director and strong performances (particular standouts being Michael Nyqvist and Sharlto Copley) that it works perfectly, and truly gives the film its tense atmosphere.

Anybody whose interest remains piqued, or just wants to see a grounded, realistic take on deep space exploration and the trials and tribulations it can cause, I recommend checking this out-- though opinions on the execution of the ending may be split.

Another one I'm hoping to see soon. Glad to see you enjoyed it; I can tell, this is right up my alley.

Pacific Rim

Pacific Rim is, undoubtedly, the ultimate action-blockbuster movie. The fight scenes, even though incomprehensible on a few occasions, were superbly choreographed and just badass beyond words. The dialogue, while not anything special, was adequate enough to prevent viewers from having to dumb-themselves-down in order to endure it.  And the Kaiju were just plain awesome.

However, Pacific Rim is nothing more than a blockbuster movie, and fails to escape the realm of forgetability.

The characterization was deplorable, and really focuses on two characters; despite feeding us the dynamics of other characters we never feel the need to give a damn about. Notably, the father and son relationship that is never explored, and yet concludes in a way that is supposed to evoke emotion. None is felt, and it ultimately comes off as unnecessary filler. And then we have the disappointing handling of the only main female character, whom has to prove herself worthy to stand with the men. ...I guess this is supposed to be a victory for women everywhere...? But what it really turns out to be is yet another cliché plot device that says less for women than just simply having a main female character start off with her own robot.

Although del Toro has the ability to create whimsical and elaborate worlds/environments for his movies...Pacific Rim never seems to take time away from its lazy story weaving to allow us to savor Pacific Rim's set up. Ron Perlman's character could've been the perfect vehicle for the audience to navigate through it all, but his appearance is brief and fails to deliver.

Spoiler
For a movie that clearly doesn't take itself too seriously, there is not a lick of humor to be found.

If they need Monster DNA to travel through the portal, how come the escape pods leaving it didn't have the DNA?

Cliché "He's not breathing, but my love will resurrect him ending"

But yes, it was, in fact, better than all three Transformer films.

Compulsion (2013)

It's a shame that an actress as likeable and (yes) talented as Heather Graham is stuck in bottom-tier schlock her whole career because she's blonde and sexy. And it's depressing to watch her do really solid work in confused messes like this film where she gets undercut at every point by terrible direction and editing, which also mars the colorful, appealing cinematography and a premise (remade from a Korean film) that could have provided the foundation for a really interesting thriller.

3/10

To be fair, he was one of the few somewhat entertaining things in that film.

Goddamn, if that whole movie had just been the adventures of Perlman and Cage in the Crusades, it would've been awesome. That montage of them fighting in the Holy Land was the only good thing in the film. :D

Pacific Rim

OmegaZilla and Space Sweeper said it best: Pacific Rim was an absolute blast. And even more than that, the movie had heart; that was obvious in each and every lovingly crafted frame of the film.

Having devoured the majority of the trailers that were released over the past few months (and being a huge a fan of Guillermo del Toro), I knew going in that, at the very least, this movie was going to be visually stunning. And seriously, the visuals alone were worth the price of admission. The attention to detail, be it on the Kaiju or the Jaegers or the scenery, was jaw-dropping, providing a striking blend as age-old concepts and ideas from the genre were realized via modern filmmaking techniques with unparalleled care and passion. But of course, a movie needs more than fancy special effects to work, and Pacific Rim delivered in that respect as well. The story obviously wasn't Oscar material (in fact, it was quite simple; even by-the-numbers at some points) but it worked in everything that it set out to achieve and more. The actors' renditions of the script provoked genuine emotional response (especially Mako's story in the first half of the movie) and the unique style and execution of the events allowed the film to perfectly present the sheer sense of scale and intensity that the plot demanded. I was grinning the entire time and even burst out laughing on numerous occasions due to the sheer enjoyment I experienced while watching the events play out before my eyes.

Just to geek out a little bit now, Otachi was every bit as awesome as the trailers made her out to be. She was by far my favorite monster of the bunch. And Ron Perlman was an absolute blast to watch. If I had just one minor complaint, it was that
Spoiler
Slattern, the Category 5 Kaiju, felt a bit underutilized in the final action sequence.
[close]

Pacific Rim is a labor of love, no doubt about it. Anyone with even a slight interest in monsters, robots, special effects, summer blockbusters, or immersive world-building on an epic scale owes it to themselves to check it out as soon as they can. I already want to see it again.

Oh, if you go see it, be sure to stay tuned for the mid-credits scene! :D

This Is The End

Found the first two thirds absolutely hilarious, but unfortunately (around the time that McBride left the house) seemed to fall flat toward the end. For the good stuff, it was outrageously self-deprecating, off the wall, and well played. Part of me wishes that it wasn't the apocalypse at all, but natural disaster... or hell, even aliens. Part of the Fantasy/Biblical aspects are what made the final act so alienating (not positively) and underwhelming to me. Still, two hilarious acts out of three isn't bad. I'm pretty sure my mom liked it more than me though...



Horrible Bosses

Now THIS... was f**king hysterical. I've been meaning to see this for all too long now, and I'm so glad I finally got around to it. The entire cast, premise, and story was outrageously funny. I think I may be on a bit of Charlie Day high right now (have to continue binge-watching Always Sunny, only finished two seasons), and be facing something of a man-crush. Him, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Jaime Foxx, and all the rest were top-tier levels of hilarious, as was the script and unexpected twists and turns. One of my favorite comedies I've seen in a long time.

World War Z (2013)

This was a bit hit and miss. Okay, mostly miss, but it had its good parts. Pitt was decent as the lead, but some unknown would have worked just as fine in the role. The last scenes as they went searching for a cure at the WHO center was the best part. That was the only time the zombies (or should I say zombie) looked decent as well. Otherwise they suffered from being a dull CGI mess that reminded me more of the "vampires" of I Am Legend than actual zombies.

On the other hand, it was refreshing seeing some of the characters actually take logical steps to prevent infection, instead of the usual zombie flick where most people seem to live in denial of what's happening around them. And North Korea's solution to the problem was... interesting. :D

It's more about that if you thought the '54 Godzilla is a boring average thing I cannot imagine how massive of a waste of time would it be for you to watch the rest of the series. At its lowest it is pretty damn BAD. Though there are sparse good chapters, but that's what I think and I have a different measure for it I guess.

I would say the 98 remake could be up your alley due to it being a 50s film reincarnated with more modern pace and everything, but I remember you not liking it at all.

The 90s Gamera films are basically the best japanese sci-fi films I have seen but I have no idea if you would like them or not. My advice though is to focus on things you actually look forward to.

It's more about that if you thought the '54 Godzilla is a boring average thing I cannot imagine how massive of a waste of time would it be for you to watch the rest of the series. At its lowest it is pretty damn BAD. Though there are sparse good chapters, but that's what I think and I have a different measure for it I guess.

I would say the 98 remake could be up your alley due to it being a 50s film reincarnated with more modern pace and everything, but I remember you not liking it at all.

The 90s Gamera films are basically the best japanese sci-fi films I have seen but I have no idea if you would like them or not. My advice though is to focus on things you actually look forward to.
It's just that I really like the whole idea of Kaiju/Giant monster movies, but there hasn't been one that I really liked. Except for Pacific Rim.

I grew up with the Americanized version starring Raymond Burr. That in many was is a bit better paced and has some nice voice over narration, but it lacks the message of nuclear weapons from the first film and ends a bit too abruptly.

My personal favorite Godzilla flick is still the 1985 reboot, or at least it was during childhood. May need to give it a re-watch to see if it holds up.

Still haven't seen Gojira; I grew up with the Americanized version as well.

It's been a very long time since I've seen any of the Godzilla films, but I remember that my favorite was always Godzilla vs Biollante.

Biollante was the second in the reboot series, the first being the 1985 film. After that is was Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and then that god awful Space Godzilla movie. If you dug Biollante and have not seen 1985, I'd give it a watch.

All things said, 1985 has the best opening of the series. It actually makes Godzilla very creepy.

Horrible Bosses

Now THIS... was f**king hysterical. I've been meaning to see this for all too long now, and I'm so glad I finally got around to it. The entire cast, premise, and story was outrageously funny. I think I may be on a bit of Charlie Day high right now (have to continue binge-watching Always Sunny, only finished two seasons), and be facing something of a man-crush. Him, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Jaime Foxx, and all the rest were top-tier levels of hilarious, as was the script and unexpected twists and turns. One of my favorite comedies I've seen in a long time.

Mothaf**ka Jones. 8)

Horrible Bosses is brilliant.
Every time they would innocently address him by name, I was in stitches (as well as the origin story of his name).  :laugh:

"Five thousand dollars well spent, right?"
"Wha- no! No, no, nope."

Same on the dub. I remember seeing it in the theater and it was incredible. So OTT and cheesy, but with a lot of charm rather than simply being annoying.

Orga was pretty awesome looking, too; I think I really liked him because he was so visually different than most of Godzilla's other adversaries. And the G2000 Godzilla design may be my favorite look he's sported in his nearly sixty years.

A well deserved 7. Because it completely bombarded you with so much insanity that the brain could not f**king comprehend what was going on until near the end of the film when it was all explained. Doesn't excuse the mental insanity that one had to go through. Also, I still liked it.

EoE threw everything at me. I knew that it was a bit crazy once they started to get more into the whole mythos of the show, but when EoE bombarded you with everything it had during the entire first half, it was just overwhelming. You had so much crazy stuff ranging from giant Rei people, to exploding orgasm juice. Close to the ending is when everything was fully explained. It was like MGS2 all over again, except that EoE had the decency to actually explain the insanity.

If you watch the series then EoE, it's not really dumping that much information onto you, but rather explaining stuff that the series kind'a glosses over.

Keep in mind when I say "Watch the series, then the movie" I'm talking about leaving maybe a day between going from one to the other cos, y'know, good luck otherwise :P

Just comes across as condescending, bitter even. If you don't like something, say so, and leave it at that, but there's no need to give it your on-going attention instead of the 'Oh, I wouldn't be caught deeeaaad watching thaaaat' approach.

Well...Chappie is supposed to be a comedy...


Maybe they're angling for Anna Faris caliber humor/acting.

...just to be clear, you know I'm talking about Heather Graham, right? :P

Heather Graham is in Chappie??? :)

I'm not following Chappie, so I have no idea. I'm talking about Heather Graham in general.


EDIT: Ohhh, Blacklabel was posting about someone named Yo Lissa or something. That's where I got lost.

Heather Graham has more acting range in her left pinky's fingernail than Sandler will ever have.  :-*

But, yeah, you have the wrong woman.  :P

pffffffffffft, I don't go watch Adam Sandler for the acting :P

I loved this movie.

Thoroughly, completely, utterly entertaining and enjoyable from start to finish. A fun romp of destruction and mayhem, full of heart and brimming with enthusiasm. I could tell just watching it that all of those involved in the production, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera, were enjoying every second of the film. There was just an immense amount of clear passion for what they were doing, which greatly aided in my getting swept away in the film.

I'm not sure I can really say much more about the film that others haven't already stated. It was essentially a love letter. This film was to kaiju and mecha fiction what Hot Fuzz is to buddy cop films. It took huge inspiration from the works that preceded it, and showed huge respect to all of those works.

Very very good, and very very fun.

Ringu 2

aka "That Rasen movie never happened, we swear!"

Too bad this one sucks just about as hard as the "alternate" sequel did, but for different reasons. There's way too many characters and plot threads, hardly anything makes sense, and the ending feels like nothing was really accomplished. Oh, and pretty much everyone who survived the first movie is now psychic. Seriously.

The Conjuring (2013)

This was genuinely terrifying. Based on a true story, and directed by James Wan (Saw, Insidious) it follows the story of Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators who come to the aid a family being terrorized by malevolent spirits. This movie doesn't reinvent the wheel and uses a lot of the same horror clichés found in most of these types of movies today; but it's carried by the cast. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga do a very good job playing these characters and Wan goes the extra mile to make the audience care for them. The same could be said for the family. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Even shit my pants a couple of times.

Solomon Kane (2009)

I without a doubt, f**king loved this. From the mind of Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian) comes Solomon Kane; a ruthless warrior who made a deal with the Devil – for his soul. James Purefoy rocked in this movie. I hadn't read much about the character so this was all new to me and I loved it; particularly the look and style of Kane. There's a lot of fun sword and sorcery going on here. From witches to zombies and a giant lava monster from Hell! Things did get a little goofy at that point; what with the lava monster but the movie quickly redeemed itself. Can't wait to plunder the bonus material.

Dark Water (2002)

This was actually very good, managing to be both a touching mother daughter story and a creepy ghost story at once. Hideo Nakata directs, and the script is adapted from Koji Suzuki's short story "Floating Water." Well, adapting a short story into a film can be a difficult prospect, especially in this case, since the story wasn't Suzuki's best work, but Nakata handled that very well.The mother-daughter relationship is sweet and believable, while the ghost scenes are very, very creepy. Also, the rain-soaked, decaying apartment building adds a great sense of atmosphere to the film. Really, I can only think of a very few major flaws. For one thing, the lead's ex-husband acts like the villain from a Lifetime original movie, and is pretty much devoid of any subtlety or nuance. (Seriously, who the f**k puts out a cigarette like that?)  Also, the film feels just a bit too long. The last ten minutes could be cut out and the film wouldn't really suffer for it. Overall, though, it's a very good movie.

8/10

Oh, and think I've found a pattern in the Hideo Nakata films I've seen:

- Films directly adapted from Koji Suzuki's works = good

- Everything else = shit
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Jul 18, 2013, 07:52:42 AM
Him putting the cigarette out is misdirection. The mother later sees what she thinks is a cigarette burn on the apartment elevator buttons and thinks he has been responsible for the weird shit happening so that he can get custody of her daughter.

Dark Water would be a masterpiece if it weren't for that unnecessary epilogue. Remake is shit.

There's a lot of fun sword and sorcery going on here. From witches to zombies and a giant lava monster from Hell! Things did get a little goofy at that point; what with the lava monster but the movie quickly redeemed itself. Can't wait to plunder the bonus material.

Excellent. 8)

I think the whole part with the witch was done really well.



Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)

This was a lot better than I expected it to be. After someone messes with the timeline, Barry Allen (The Flash) wakes up in a new world, where a war between Atlantis and the Amazons is threatening to destroy the world. It's an interesting "What if...?" scenario and it can be pretty dark from time to time, with some really good emotional scenes.

If you like DC's animated universe, you should check it out. :)

Behind the Candelabra

Dat Michael Douglas, best role I've seen him tackle in ages, and Matt Damon also does amazingly, interesting they didn't get someone younger to play Scott, would have changed the dynamic of the film, and made Liberace a little more detestable as a character, maybe that was the point?

The Call Of Cthulhu - Has to be the most faithful HPL adaptation ever made*.  Shooting it silent in black and white was a stroke of genius.  I think they could've mucked about with the frame rate and saturation a little and added noise to the dialogue cards to make it even more authentic, but otherwise - brilliant.

Falling Down

Michael Douglas owns this movie as the estranged father/husband who becomes an unintentional vigilante as he tries to get home to see his family.  Great supporting cast, especially the always excellent Robert Duvall, one of those rare films that at times is hilarious and equally tragic

Inherit the Wind, the remake with Jack Lemmon and George C Scott.
I was very disappointed in this film. The performances, aside from Scott, were flat and dull. It lacked the emotional power of the original, in spite of it being an almost note for note re-creation. The biggest let down was jack Lemmon who just didn't really sell it like Spencer Tracy did.

The World's End

Quote
First off, if you were worried about this being the weak-link in the trilogy or anything, don't be. If you liked Shaun or Hot Fuzz at all you'll like The World's End.

The opening flashback is well-done, entertaining and sets the scene of what Gary (Pegg) and the guys are like, and later how little Gary in particular has changed at all. His relationship with Andy (Frost) in this is very different to the prior films in that Andy doesn't flat out like Gary at all for the first part of the film. He's only there because Gary B.S'ed him into it and evidentley regrets going.

Gary King himself is the main provider of laughs throughout the film. His teenage attitude and vocabulary coupled with his total obliviousness of everything are hilarious in a lot of the dialogue with how often he totally misses the point. That said the whole film is perhaps less humorous than the prior two films but it is still very funny.

The rest of the characters are all very well done. Martin Freeman as Oliver - 'O-Man' - has the least screentime* but doesn't feel under-done. Peter (Marsen) is a timid soul and former bully-victim that leads to a lot humour in fights. Besides Gary and Andy, Stephen (Considine) is the third largest character due to his former 'competition' with Gary and is also a major form of exposition. Whilst the opening flashback is a good character introduction there is still a lot of backstory between the five friends uncovered via steadily drunkening dialogue. Sam (Pike) is the love interest for more than one character which lead to good laughs when romance comes into it however it isn't a major part of the story unlike Shaun.

As the trailer suggest there are multiple fights and quite a lot of 'action' however it does all hand-to-hand unlike the gun fights of Hot Fuzz. All six main actors, for people who don't really have fighting roles, do very well in the very convicing and well-shot fights. The effects in said fights - and throughout the film - are top notch.
One very noticable thing is that this film is the biggest in the trilogy: both in budget and scope. With the former I think it really shines through.

Anyone worried about pacing or monotony with twelve pubs to go through needn't fear. Some are done quickly - literally sprinted though - whereas others are set pieces or part of the exposition. Nothing feels overly long or rehashed and the film is well paced.

This film also feels the deepest and most serious of the three for me. Despite earlier events in the trilogy like Shaun shooting his own mum, or Danny nearly dying, this film feels the most character-engaged and the one with the most internal conflict. The ending I also thought was quite bittersweet in conclusion.
All in all, the World's End is a fantastic, fitting conclusion to the excellent Blood and Ice Cream trilogy.

Spoilerville and trivia:
Spoiler
- Cornetto's are mentioned in a funny way towards the end, but sadly there isn't a 'Want anything from the shop?' scene.
*- O-man is the first to be replicated. His character is still present but noticably different.
- When in The King's Head pub and they knock the arcade machine, it is the same arcade machine with the same noise as the one in the Winchester from Shaun of the Dead.
- Bill Nighy is the voice of the 'The Authority' at the film's conlusion. Rafe Spall also has a short cameo.

Bullet to the Head (2013)

Okay so Walter Hill who is the king of buddy cop movies outside of Richard Donner was going to make a movie called Bullet to the Head. It would have had Stallone and Thomas Jane teaming up and fighting injustice on the mean streets of N'awlins. All the while I would have been sitting in the theater with a major case of penis envy. In the end Thomas Jane dropped out and was replaced. Now this movie wasn't terrible, it felt like a cheap 80s action movie with cookie cutter characters and one liners galore. It's fun to watch Stallone (who looks like he's about to fall asleep in each scene...) spout terrible dialogue. His partner Sung Kang is a punching bag for most of the movie and doesn't get to do much until the last act. Christen Slater was decent. Shame he was hardly in it. The axe fight was ace though.

Opted to go for the theatrical version, now that I finally own it. I've only seen this cut of the film once before. Overall, I found that there were some things that work better in this cut, and some in the Special Edition. I especially missed the scenes with the Derelict and found the beginning to be a bit rushed knowing what was taken out, but this cut was undoubtedly a tighter version of the film. Pacing issues aside, though, I think I do prefer the Special Edition overall.

Pure, nigh unadulterated win. It does what it's meant to do just about perfectly. All that was missing was one character beat, and Mako and Raleigh really should have swapped places when Raleigh has a heart-to-heart of Idris McBadass. Other than that, it succeeds with flying colors.

Pusher (2012)

Based on the trilogy by Nicolas Winding Refn, it follows the story of Frank. A mid level drug dealer who gets caught up in a deal gone wrong. He then has to try desperately to scrounge up the money he owes his boss by the end of the week. I liked this quite a bit. I haven't seen the original films so I can't compare the two. But I thought this was solid enough and Richard Coyle did a fantastic job playing Frank. A character strung out on his own smack (never get high on your own supply!) The soundtrack was bumpin' too.

Pacific Rim

Holy shit.

Holy.

Shit.

I have no words. Simply no words. Through out the whole movie I had the dumbest f**king grin on my face, something that hasn't happened to me with a movie since Iron Man back in 2008. Literally every second just left me with my jaw dropping at how gorgeous the visuals and sets were. Mako's flashback...just Mako's flash back when the Jaeger (can't remember the name) came out of the ash and smoke with the sun light beating down it's back after fighting Onibaba. That shot nearly made me shed tears of joy. The characters as cliche as they were I even enjoyed to some degree.

There were kids in that theater (and it was packed btw), who literally were laughing, smiling, cheering, and screaming. Even the parents and adults were getting into it, and when clapping was deserved people clapped (most of them started by one of my friends :laugh:).

Easily my favorite movie of the year by far. Everything else I had seen was cool and all, but it didn't leave too much of an impact (Man Of Steel, Iron Man 3, etc.), this however left an impression on me. It reminds me that movies still can still be fun. Something a lot of summer blockbusters seem to forget nowadays. When I was leaving everyone that watched it was smiling, and talking about it. Easily one of the best times I've had in the movie theater ever.

Spoiler
If I have one complaint it's that Raiju didn't have enough screentime and wasn't seen clearly (f**k he was cool), and that the final battle felt a bit short. However Otachi's scene alone has converted to me to her awesomeness. 8)

Ok watched Mad Max 3.

You could swap characters from Return of the jedi with Jabba replaced with Tina Turner, Salacious Crumb swapped out with Angry anderson, and all ewoks swapped for kids, in its defence it has some memorable lines, it also retcons elements of the previous installment like the "pocolypse" it was never explicitly mentioned that nuclear war had occurred in the second installment, also bringing Bruce Spence back as another pilot made it a little confusing as i was under the impression he lead the northern tribe after the events of the road warrior.

After reading more on the movie i found out that the script wasn't originally written as mad max film but adapted into one, was originally a story about children lost in the bush and you can kinda feel it in the finished film, another tidbit was Miller only directed the action sequences due to the producer and Georges good friend  Byron Kennedy dying in a helicopter crash while scouting locations for the film.

Things i do like about the film, are the battertown sequences and the scenes of syndey at the end,  its nice to get a urban look at the universe, and i like the fact that even though it was co produced by americans ( hence some of the american actors littered through the film) it still has a uniquely australian flavour to it.

Definitely has me prepared for Fury Road which i've read is the start of another trilogy and i'm not sure if this is correct is getting filmed back to back with Furiosa.

(Batman Begins post-viewing comments a few weeks ago)
Spoiler

I just got through watching Batman Begins on glorious Bluray, and to all you ultra-discerning unclef**kers out there who complain about how the dire-logue ruins the Star Wars prequels... have you seen these bloody films? I don't think anyone on the planet has ever had an exchange of words which mirrored those of the main characters. And all the incidental characters must just secretly want to kill themselves for sounding so corny.
Personally I don't care, any film which involves anything more elaborate than a grunted "sup" is unnatural to me, but I get the impression that many detractors of the prequel trilogy overlook similar points in the Dark Knight trilogy.

Film looked gorgeous though, and along with American Psycho I'm starting to remember why I used to love Christian Bale so much. The action's not as well done as in the subsequent films though, it's full of rapid-fire cutting from odd angles which gives you only a vague impression of what's going on. Seems funny to think about looking back on it, but this was the first time Chris Nolan directed an action pic and it shows; I remember thinking at the time that he wasn't cut out for it.
[close]


The Dark Knight

Such an improvement on Batman Begins in virtually every way, almost feels like it's made by another director. The film looks *stunning*, the resolution of the Imax cameras conveying the scale of the city and the subtleties of the actors. By ditching Begins' focus on the odd-looking monorail system in favour of glassy tower blocks and wide streets, Gotham becomes a far more real place, a location you feel rooted in, which is essential to the story. The wide-view helicopter shot to open the film is a masterstroke, to introduce the city before anything else.

Action's a huge improvement on the first film - you can tell what's going on, shots linger long enough to get a feel for a fight's momentum and technique.

And then you have the story, which hits fairly deep - it's about the solidity of principal, and how much it takes to break them. For all the lip-smacking and cackling of Ledger's Joker, there's a real focus and purpose to his character - he's a catalyst for the breaking of principals, challenging Bruce, Dent and Gordon to betray what they believe in. There's a timely subtext of terrorism and the reaction to it, it's more than just a Batman film.

I also love that it looks so analogue - CGI is almost never apparent. Great stunts, great shots...

My only major issue is that's it's overwhelming. Jeopardy fatigue sets in about halfway through, and at some point you become numb to the proceedings. As brilliant as the action setpieces are, I feel at least one of them needed to be excised for the greater good.

One more thing, on a more trivial note - it's taken a while (five years...) but I love the new batsuit. Kind of miss the dense neck, which leant a bestial look to match Bale's intonation, but it has a noble appearance to it that fits the film's title very well. It's instantly recognisable as armour rather than a costume.

9/10




The Dark Knight Rises

Spoilers to come...

My second time seeing this. I'm not a comic reader, but have heard a little about The Dark Knight Returns, in which a broken and retired Bruce is made to take up the suit again - and I love that they're implementing this idea, in a way that still fits the trilogy.

Unlike commentators of a certain Smodco podcast, I have no problem with Bruce taking eight years off - the whole point of The Dark Knight was a desperate bid to smash organised crime in Gotham once and for all, and they won, but at great cost. There's no mafia left in this film. Batman isn't about fighting convenience store robbers or tax evasion - that's what the police are for. He's a weapon against systemic corruption, the poison that had broken the system.
If anything, I'm disappointed it took so little to tempt him back into combat - one terrorist, really? If that's what Batman stands for, why isn't he rooting out Taliban forces in Afghanistan? It's understandable once the League of Shadows becomes a factor, but if I remember rightly that comes later.
Same goes for the ending of his period as a Howard Hughes-esque recluse - he's chosen now to entrap a sexy cat burgler. Why not the intervening *eight years*? What's he been doing all this time? What's changed now?

Anyway. As in The Dark Knight, the film still looks gorgeous, and it's great to see the characters we've grown fond of over the last two films. Michael Caine, particularly, is affecting as hell despite his sadly limited screen time.
...But that leads me to a criticism. Being the closer to the trilogy, you'd expect it to focus on Bruce, to explore his character - yet he's offscreen and out of the story for huge tracts of time, during which the film's momentum dies on the vine. Bale, Caine, Freeman, Oldman - none get the screen time you'd like. Even Hathaway (though I don't think an entire film of her in skin-tight outfits would be enough for me).

Instead everything revolves around Bane - a charismatically voiced (remind anyone else of a super-jovial Liam Neeson?) and physically imposing individual, but ultimately devoid of personality and just a cardboard-cutout villain. The way his grand plot is conveyed feels harebrained - what is his 'revolution' supposed to prove? The film never tells us why he doesn't just blow up the city immediately, aside from some bullshit about "the slow knife cuts deepest". The ideas feel under-developed.
Same goes for the intro - TDK's introduced you to the city, the rampant crime and Joker's MO; TDKR's feels disconnected, a showy action piece just for the sake of it. It's barely ever referenced again.

Basically, the film doesn't have the sense of gritty reality that defined The Dark Knight, or the character development of Batman Begins. It doesn't have a deeper theme; there seems to have been an intent to comment on socialism and rebellion, but it's half-baked. And it's not a gripping or convincing story.
So it seems it works only as an action film, nothing more. Well made, moderately enjoyable, pretty damn disappointing.

6/10

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The original Raiders was a detective story of an archaeologist follows clues to solve a mystery. Temple was a dark and brooding thriller that released a torrent of intense action just when you thought all hope was lost. What is so perfect about this series is whilst vastly different from one another, each film felt like a logical next chapter. Crusade delivers on this promise with the story of an estranged son and his apathetic father who go on a quest to find a great artifact, and finally find the companionship they sought with each other all their lives. A beautiful end to one of the greatest examples of visual literature in history. They are, all three, masterworks, and Crusade was, and still is, the perfect ending.

Insidious

You know, I'm starting to become quite the fan of James Wan and Leigh Whannel. I've always liked the first Saw, but this was on a whole new level for me. It starts as a very creepy haunted house movie, but slowly expands into something bigger. The film gets a touch silly in places, even bordering on camp, but keeps things tonally consistent and the creep factor in high gear. I wasn't really a fan of the last few minutes, though. Hopefully Insidious: Chapter Two can make up for that. If The Conjuring is half as good as this, then I'm sure I'll love it.

Oh, and apparently Nite Owl II and Moira MacTaggart got married and had kids, one of whom is Harley from Iron Man Three. Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

The film is only a surreal experience (by which I mean COMPLETELY) if you can't follow the plot. The movie is actually straightforward with the slow-hardly-any-dialog stuff from Valhalla Rising. Lots of themes and metaphors in the entire movie, and that's my sort of guilty pleasure in any medium, which I rarely ever talk about.

So Nick Refn is getting closer to doing a "pure film", mostly told through visuals? He's allways talked about "aiming for that" in interviews.

Jodorowsky films are only "partially" surreal because they still are guided by plots... is it similar to that level of weirdness?

I don't think I've ever seen a film by Jodorowsky, so I'll have to go and see a few of his films so that I can actually give you a proper answer. In regards to Refn saying that he's getting closer to doing a movie just with pure visuals, I'd have to say that he's fairly close. All the dialog in this film can actually be removed and you would understand it completely. Most of the time I could barely hear what was happening (was watching this on a site that streams movies for free) and I didn't feel as if I missed out on any important information that would make the next scene makes sense to me. The visuals told you what you needed to know, and any form of surrealism you get in this movie wouldn't confuse you in the slightest, since the plot pretty much covers you. It made sense to me, even when I thought it wasn't because of the way it's edited in certain places.



Anyway, time for me to go to sleep.

"Noiiice".

Get on Jodorowsky: El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre are his most celebrated films.

He was the guy who was gonna do a surreal adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune that had barely anything to do with the book and starred Salvador Dali as the Padishah Emperor of the known universe. The production imploded, but it still managed to inspire countless other good scifi works, including the pairing up of Dan O'Bannon and Giger (who met while working in that film) and the pair up of Moebius and Jodorowsky who would go on to do the "Incal" scifi comic books... wich proved to be just as mind-expanding and classic scifi as the Dune series.

It's unsurprising to find screenwriters attacking his films for being "style over substance".... he seems to be trying to get rid of dialogue entirely in his films and gets his simple storytelling via the characters actions.. It's as if he's almost trying to get rid of screenwriters. lol :laugh: OF COURSE you dont like him. ;D

I'll be checking out the new film..... he's style obsessed... but he's got a GREAT style.  :laugh:

Only God Forgives

Saw this back on Saturday, at the local Vancouver Rio Theater, known for showing more independent/art films than the big budget Hollywood blockbusters, and I'm glad I did. I thought it was great, though it took time to win me over. The first twenty or so minutes came across as a style over substance scenario, but watching it with an open and clear mind is important, because it soon becomes clear that the substance is deeply rooted within the style. It's true that it makes characters accessories to translate the film's various themes such as operant conditioning, male incompetence, and hollow retribution.

At first it seems scattered and vague, but the subtext quickly becomes the driving force of the film, presented through a series of unsettling, tense, and beautifully framed and shot events. There's a massive amount of parallels, visual metaphors, and Freudian imagery to dig into, and the central themes provide an arc on their own throughout the run time. It's not as accessibly thrilling as Drive and not as hauntingly vague as Valhalla Rising, but instead finds itself between the two on Refn's creative scale. I can understand people hating the film, but I can't hope to understand those people's dismissal of the themes, even those clear and present.

The soundtrack and score are fantastic, as is Vithaya Pansringarm's calm, intense performance; also great was Kristin Scott Thomas, who I wasn't sold on before watching, but she manages to go from cartoonishly c**ty to an inappropriately sympathetic villain in a matter of scenes. The characters are really just villains on a weighing scale, so it's difficult to want to see either 'side' succeed. In the end, I would say Vithaya's morally resolved, yet twisted lawbringer, Chang makes away with the lightest title of anti-villain. Gosling's Julien merely becomes the morally confused middle-man with an inkling of conscience remaining.



Safety Not Guaranteed

Funny, lighthearted, and surprisingly complex and poignant in the end. The entire cast gives great, thickly layered performances, and the script is a surprisingly quotable delight. Saw half of this before, last year, but wasn't able to finish it... very glad I finally got around to doing so because I absolutely loved it.

10/10


Thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end, could hardly take my eyes off of it. If you enjoyed watching Valhalla Rising, then I highly recommend watching this movie because it's so damn similar to it that I felt right at home.

Valhalla Rising... :-X

I will say this - at least Only God Forgives looks visually fantastic. Refn is great when it comes to the visuals but I think he would be better off pairing his visuals with a stronger script.

I'm just glad Gosling dropped out of Logan's Run. Look forward to seeing Refn's visual take on the film but with a better lead actor (assuming Refn won't be dropping out too).

Oh well. :-\

Hopefully Logan's Run isn't stuck in production hell forever. It's one of the few films that actually needs a remake. And yet we get shitty remakes or semi-remakes like The Thing, Carrie, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Psycho, The Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds etc.

Evil Dead (2013)

This is my second time watching this, and it is still a lot of fun. It is very, very dark in comparison to Raimi's two later Evil Dead films (its  dark compared to the first one, too), but even this movie isn't without its (exceptionally) dark comedy. Apart from Mia, the characters aren't really anything special, but then again, apart from Ash, no one in the original film was particularly memorable either.

Where this movie really shines is in the immense amount of respect that it pays to Raimi's classic trilogy and its exceptional use of makeup and prosthetics to create the deadites. If you like over-the-top horror films or the original Evil Dead movies then I would definitely recommend this one, but if you're not typically into that kind of stuff then this definitely isn't going to change your mind.

I really hope that Fede Alvarez is able to make a followup sometime soon... and I definitely wouldn't complain if Bruce Campbell came back as Ash :)

Oh, forgot to mention...the amount of bodliy harm inflicted on Eric was downright ridiculous :D

The Dark Knight Rises

Spoilers to come...

My second time seeing this. I'm not a comic reader, but have heard a little about The Dark Knight Returns, in which a broken and retired Bruce is made to take up the suit again - and I love that they're implementing this idea, in a way that still fits the trilogy.

Unlike commentators of a certain Smodco podcast, I have no problem with Bruce taking eight years off - the whole point of The Dark Knight was a desperate bid to smash organised crime in Gotham once and for all, and they won, but at great cost. There's no mafia left in this film. Batman isn't about fighting convenience store robbers or tax evasion - that's what the police are for. He's a weapon against systemic corruption, the poison that had broken the system.
If anything, I'm disappointed it took so little to tempt him back into combat - one terrorist, really? If that's what Batman stands for, why isn't he rooting out Taliban forces in Afghanistan? It's understandable once the League of Shadows becomes a factor, but if I remember rightly that comes later.
Same goes for the ending of his period as a Howard Hughes-esque recluse - he's chosen now to entrap a sexy cat burgler. Why not the intervening *eight years*? What's he been doing all this time? What's changed now?

Anyway. As in The Dark Knight, the film still looks gorgeous, and it's great to see the characters we've grown fond of over the last two films. Michael Caine, particularly, is affecting as hell despite his sadly limited screen time.
...But that leads me to a criticism. Being the closer to the trilogy, you'd expect it to focus on Bruce, to explore his character - yet he's offscreen and out of the story for huge tracts of time, during which the film's momentum dies on the vine. Bale, Caine, Freeman, Oldman - none get the screen time you'd like. Even Hathaway (though I don't think an entire film of her in skin-tight outfits would be enough for me).

Instead everything revolves around Bane - a charismatically voiced (remind anyone else of a super-jovial Liam Neeson?) and physically imposing individual, but ultimately devoid of personality and just a cardboard-cutout villain. The way his grand plot is conveyed feels harebrained - what is his 'revolution' supposed to prove? The film never tells us why he doesn't just blow up the city immediately, aside from some bullshit about "the slow knife cuts deepest". The ideas feel under-developed.
Same goes for the intro - TDK's introduced you to the city, the rampant crime and Joker's MO; TDKR's feels disconnected, a showy action piece just for the sake of it. It's barely ever referenced again.

Basically, the film doesn't have the sense of gritty reality that defined The Dark Knight, or the character development of Batman Begins. It doesn't have a deeper theme; there seems to have been an intent to comment on socialism and rebellion, but it's half-baked. And it's not a gripping or convincing story.
So it seems it works only as an action film, nothing more. Well made, moderately enjoyable, pretty damn disappointing.

6/10

Yep yep yep yep

Yep, just got back from seeing this. There's a lot I could nitpick about which could go on for days, most especially about the main villain and his plans. But aside from the shortcomings, it's still a fun X-men movie. Haters of the last Wolverine movie will find this at least an improvement. As for the Silver Samurai,
Spoiler
they pretty much screwed up his character from the comics. Instead of getting a guy in bad ass armor, we get an old geezer fighting in a robot suit.

Viper is seriously underdeveloped and hardly gets much screen time.

It must have been Hell to transform this beloved novel into a somewhat coherent 3hour movie for the directors and editor.

Because the roles are recurring in what they're meant to represent; each character is basically a reincarnation of the last, so they got creative and kept the same actors. I bet you didn't notice Halle Berry as a freakish-looking, old Korean male doctor.  :D

Nope, I didn't. Neither could I figure out who was playing Zachry's sister, was the actress an actual Polynesian, Caucasian or an Asian?

It was Chinese actress Zhou Xun as it happens.

Hugh Grants as Jim Broadbent's rich brother was a bit icky as well, but it's hard to make younger people look old convincingly in the age of HD. Just look at Guy Pearce in Prometheus as well...

Agent Smith as the nurse was quite hilarious. I can't figure out why they made that casting choice and that make-up, when there were plenty of actresses in the film, who would look a lot more suitable in that role. But ok... :D

That was one of my favourite transformations in the film, actually. :laugh:

As far as the old-to-young transformations, I thought they did a great job aging James D'Arcy for his role as Sixsmith.

Until Death (2007)

Van Damme plays Anthony Stowe, a doped up narcotics officer in New Orleans with the best looking sideburns I've ever seen. The first act before he goes into a coma almost feels like another version of Max Payne. VD is at his best here playing Stowe; someone who's not entirely likable. What makes Until Death work is its strong performance from the lead and the story itself. Luckily they both work and this rises above the standard DTV schlock out there.

Yep, just got back from seeing this. There's a lot I could nitpick about which could go on for days, most especially about the main villain and his plans. But aside from the shortcomings, it's still a fun X-men movie. Haters of the last Wolverine movie will find this at least an improvement. As for the Silver Samurai,
Spoiler
they pretty much screwed up his character from the comics. Instead of getting a guy in bad ass armor, we get an old geezer fighting in a robot suit.

Viper is seriously underdeveloped and hardly gets much screen time.

Spoiler
Ah, but don't miss the end credits scene with Magneto and Professor X. Can't wait for 'Days of Future Past'!  ;)

Rating: 4/5.

Probably my biggest question:

The Wolverine 3D (2013)

I liked it. :)

The story is solid and a huge improvement over the last Wolverine film. Hugh Jackman is of course perfect as the character at this point. As for the supporting cast, I really liked Rila Fukushima as Yukio. Dangerous, funny, sexy and she had great chemistry with Jackman. Tao Okamoto is possibly one of the most beautiful actresses I've seen in quite some time, and while her character, Mariko, is gentle and sweet, she's also a bit dry. That's not to say I didn't enjoy her and Logan's quiet moments together. They were nice. The villains are neither here nor there for me.

I loved the Japanese setting. The film looked beautiful. I loved the shot/scene of Logan with his back full of arrows. Something about that just struck me.

Be sure to stay for the mid-credits scene. It was f**king awesome! ;D

Having seen this, I think I would place it as #3 on my X-Men list.

The Wolverine 2D (2013)

I also liked it. :)

What I like the best about this film, is how Logan/Wolverine isn't so center stage this time around, that everything and everybody around him is reduced to window dressing. Thematically, it essentially deals with mortality and is less interested in showcasing a bunch of one-off mutants no one really cares about with powers no one really cares about (hint: X-Men 3 and the first Wolverine film). That was an excellent decision on the filmmakers part, because that is what I find most intriguing about Logan - how does he deal with the prospect of living without aging, losing his loved ones over and over? If someone offered him a way out or the choice of aging like a human, would he take it?

I also liked the actresses in the film, as in the Japanese ones. The character of Viper - hmmm, she sort of illustrates what I think is the problem with The Wolverne: it lacks clearly defined villains with motives we (and Logan as well) can relate to. The corporate interests we're presented with, doing shady business in the shadows etc. etc. - it's muddled at best imo. A main baddie takes a swim mid-film and never again appears in the film - did the screenwriters forget about him while they wrote the rest of the film? :D

The villain angle also makes a weird left turn out of nowhere in the third act that had me scratching my head

Spoiler
Old Yashida turns up, believed dead, and revealed to be the real antagonist and you have the classic showdown and yadda yadda. It just doesn't amount to anything at all, since the audience wasn't invested in a showdown between Logan and Yashida when that scene arrived, because: 1. we thought he was dead. 2. his character is this time around, completely different than what the film has told us up until that point.

They essentially Talia Ra's Ghul'ed the audience with that twist. Not needed at all imo.
[close]

But overall, I was pleased with this film, I just thought they slipped it with the baddies somewhat in the third act.

And yes - as Shas says, do stay for the mid-credits scene. It's pretty neat. ;)

I have a question for the sharp minded of you:

Spoiler
In the very start, Logan commands Yashida to get in the well in order to survive, so I'm thinking - why would Logan know that the B29 carries a nuke and how would he even know of it's existence and effects on the target? Everybody knows today, but this was 1945 when the world knew essentially nothing about nuclear weapons...

Hmm, did I get you thinking now...? ;)

I thought of that myself while watching it. I don't know much about the kind of payload those planes usually carried with them, but even if they were going for a normal bomb run, the well would be a safe place to hide.

Later on, I think he could just smell that something was not right with the air.

Urkay, the first half of this movie was kinda heinous. I mean, when the people opened their mouths, and THE WORDS came out... please god no. Never again.

But then the second half happened, and the things started punching the other things, and it was beautiful and awesome and there was Ron Perlman (thank CHRIST for him) and it didn't stop until the slightly underwhelming final battle.

I would buy this on Blu-ray. And then abuse the fast-forward button.

The Conjuring: 7/10
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 27, 2013, 03:56:52 AM
The Conjuring

I was very pleasantly surprised with this movie. Maybe it's just because I've been watching Supernatural, but lately I've been finding myself very interested in a lot of the material that this film covers (religious-based horror, that is), and the fact that it takes place in Rhode Island was also quite cool.

I don't want to go much into the plot of the film (from what I heard, the trailers already gave away quite a bit-- thankfully I don't usually watch most horror trailers), but I will say that The Conjuring was surprisingly very well done. There are some interesting scares spread throughout; there are the typical jump scares, of course, but there were also a few great moments where I swept up in the atmosphere of the film and found myself quite uncomfortable. As far as characters go, I quite liked the main family and found myself especially interested in the husband/wife paranormal investigator duo. I think I'd say that, as a horror movie, The Conjuring is probably on par with last year's Sinister.

Oh, throughout the whole movie there was someone in the row ahead of me yelling "OH SHIIIITTTT!!!!" after every jump scare; usually that sort of thing would piss me off to no end, but for some reason I found it to be surprisingly appropriate. :P

Went into this expecting pretty much what it delivered an ensemble piece where comedians / actors played themselves (i really wonder how much was ad-libbed i need the behind the scenes ), can tell it was built upon a short film in terms of narrative , if you enjoy any of the actors in the cast its a pretty fun ride, whilst the marketing pretty much shows a lot of the funniest elements, there are still some Hilarious parts that remained un-shown, some really great references both movie and pop culture that had me laughing insanely hard.

Bittersweet drama/romance about a toddler who falls in love with cinema and he befriends a lonely old projectionist, sparking a close friendship with him for the years to come, and later falling madly in love with the girl of his dreams. Superb writing and beautifully shot. I only wished it didn't drag so long (mind you, I was watching the Director's Cut version, which runs for almost 3 hours).

X-Men (2000)

It's hard to believe that thirteen years have gone by since this movie came out. I remember back when it was the shit, and superhero films were still largely unexplored territory. Damn, I feel old.

The movie itself holds up reasonably well, only held back by how small and compact it feels compared with what we would get in the following decade. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were and are perfect choices for Professor X and Magneto, and Hugh Jackman so thoroughly owned the role of Wolverine that I can't see anyone else playing him to this day. I quite like Anna Paquin's turn as Rogue, since her and Wolverine have a very strong character dynamic. Cyclops gets pretty shafted, though. He gets some great antagonistic banter with Wolverine and one damn good dramatic scene with Professor X, but that's about it. Overall, it's a solid setup film.

Awesome review. I'm going to be going through all of the films as soon as I can (some of them for just the first or second time). Probably won't be able to do it before seeing The Wolverine, though, unless the mailmain is as fast as Quicksliver. :D

The Wolverine (2013)

This was a hell of a good film. With the right director and the right story – this worked on so many levels. I enjoyed the Japanese setting very much, particularly the opening sequence in Nagasaki. Hugh Jackman is of course amazing in the role. I think after thirteen years he pretty much owns it. The action sequences were also very well done. My favorite had to be the bullet train fight; very cool and imaginative.

And dat ending. I am ready for some Dinklage madness. ;D

X2: X-Men United (2003)

Easily one of the best examples of an Even Better Sequel, X2 greatly improves on the last, already good movie, and makes a great one. The cast is back in top form, and everyone gets some good moments in the movie, including the beefed up roles of Iceman and Pyro, the latter of whom gets some neat character development. The main exception is Cyclops, who gets a handful of dramatic scenes, but gets kidnapped and knocked out for most of the movie. I don't even like Cyclops all that much, but it still kid of sucks that the team leader got sidelined so hard. Colonel William Stryker is an effective villain, who absolutely oozes menace and insanity. He makes for a neat foil to Xavier and Magneto, providing some interesting, humanizing backstory. Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler is quite cool, too. His perspectives on faith, hate, and pity make for an interesting side character, and it's too bad he never returned in later films. The action scenes are a big step up from the first film, and the opening White House attack and Stryker's assault on the school are easily the best. Jackman's Wolverine is back with a vengeance, particularly in the school attack, where he stabs black ops guys left and right. Th exploration of his backstory and the Weapon X project is well handled here, and we learn basically everything we needed to know about it here. It makes Origins seem rather pointless in retrospect. Really, the only problems I have with the film are all the hints towards the X3 that could have been. Overall, it's a great continuation and a great film.

I completely agree with this. X2 serves as a better origin story to the character than the actual origin movie itself.

Always a badass movie with most likely the best incarnation of Godzilla (total bastard f**k you I'm Godf**kingzilla mode engaged throughout) so I needn't say anymore.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla

Unit-01 fights Godzilla the movie.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah

Probably my favorite film of the Heisei era asides from The Return Of Godzilla/1985.

X-Men

T'was awesome watching this one again. A great introduction to the X-Men (and, in a way, the modern superhero movie) on film. The movie definitely shows its age, but I don't see that as being a bad thing. It is clearly a product of the late 90s/early 2000s, and it thrives on that generation's style and execution. Xavier and Magneto are definitely the mutants that I find to be the most interesting (which is one of many reasons I adore First Class so much) and this movie definitely gave them some great material to work with. Also shining throughout are Hugh Jackman's iconic Wolverine, Rogue, and Jean Grey.

Some odd lines and dodgy sequences aside, X-Men is a very fun movie with some fantastic political and social commentary at its core. Very glad I took the opportunity to revisit this.

Oh, just an observation I made; I haven't seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine since its initial theatrical run, but from what I vaguely remember Wolverine's origins in that film were nowhere near as horrific as the flashbacks that come to Logan during his dreams in this one.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

So, X2 was a huge a success(and a great movie, to boot), so a sequel was inevitable. Bryan Singer even began to develop a plot, which consisted of Jean Grey returning as Phoenix, and getting manipulated and twisted by Emma Frost, who would've been played by Sigourney Weaver. This would have culminated in a three-way conflict between the X-Men. Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants, and Frost's Hellfire Club. Sounds awesome, right? Well, too bad. Singer decided he'd rather make a boring ass Superman movie, and took his writers with him, leaving us with what got.

The movie has two plots going on. One involves Worthington Labs developing a "mutant cure," and Magneto getting all pissy over it. The second is about Jean Grey returning as Phoenix, and turning evil-ish. Bot of these plots could have made for great movies in their own right, but neither reaches it's full potential when they're smashed together like this. The first half hour largely focuses on the cure, then the Phoenix stuff is made a big deal of for a while, than that all gets sidelined until the movie is practically over. Oh, and turning Dark Phoenix into a multiple personality plot is just lame. That basically means that all the hints towards Magneto's device from the first film having an effect on Jean, and all the hints towards Phoenix itself in X2 are basically forgotten about. I'm not saying that they had to include all the weird alien stuff from the comics, since i honestly prefer the X-Men when they stay on Earth and deal with prejudice and other mutants. I'm just saying that it was poorly handled and could have been done better. Matthew Vaughan claimed he could have made a better movie with the same script, but I seriously f**king doubt that.

The characters are a very mixed bag here. Most of the returning cast members do very well with what they're given. Hugh Jackman is good as always, and Patrick Stewart always does a great job. Kelsey Grammer was better than I anticipated as Beast, bringing a real sense of intelligence to the character without any of Frasier's innate snobbishness. However, at least four more or less important characters from the first two films are unceremoniously disposed of in various ways, with Cyclops and Mystique easily getting the worst of it. At least our favorite blue bitch got to be awesome in her limited screen time, unlike the supposed team leader, who exits the film in an embarrassing and insulting manner. Storm and Rogue are just plain annoying here, but at least the latter has the good sense to not stick around. Well, Halle, you wanted more screen time, and you got it, but did you have to completely suck? Magneto gets the worst treatment, unfortunately. McKellen does the best he can with the role, but he's undermined by a script that has Magneto act in ways he never would, and just plain doesn't get the character. The new mutants on his team are all really lame, as well. I think Angel could have been cool, and his relationship with his father is potentially weighty stuff, but it could almost be cut from the film entirely as it stands. Ellen Page is fine as Kitty Pryde, but isn't around long enough to save much of the movie. Maybe if she called up Leo and went Inception on Jean's ass than the movie wold have been more interesting. :laugh:

The movie completely wastes Bill Duke. That's a f**king travesty all on its own.

There are a few positives to be found here. Like I said before, the returning cast sans Halle Berry all did their level best. The effects and action scenes (dat Golden Gate Bridge sequence) were mostly pretty good, even if more than a few fight scenes were pretty damn gratuitous. *cough*guy with knife arms*cough* There's also a few decent dramatic/emotional scenes in there somewhere, struggling for air. It's not good, but somewhat watchable.

Overall, the movie is probably more mediocre than outright terrible, but as a sequel to X-Men and X2, it's incredibly disappointing.

Still better than Superman Returns, though. :P

Meh/10

X2

I've only seen this once before, and apart from a few key sequences (the opening scene in the White House, Pyro unleashing his powers, and Jean's final moments) I barely remembered a thing about it. I guess watching it now, it may as well have been my first time. And I loved it. I can say with absolutely certainty that I prefer this to the first film, and of the X-Men movies that I have seen it is second only to First Class. I loved the group dynamic in this film, not just with the X-Men themselves but also with Magneto and Mystique thrown into the mix. The glimpses of Wolverine's backstory were fantastic, and the progression and interaction between such characters as Magneto, Professor X, and Jean Grey made for some extremely interesting developments as the film went on. It is fascinating watching all of the pieces move into place, as if the actions and events were all mere turns in one of Xavier's and Erik's games of chess.

Oh, Nightcrawler stole every scene he was in. And these movies needed more Cyclops, dammit! :D

I think almost everyone agrees that X2 is pretty much the bomb. It always gets rated highly, equal to or close to First Class, which is a feat. Origins: Wolverine? Ahh gadd.

I'm looking forward to seeing the third film, but I don't see any way that it's going to top The Avengers for me. Even Iron Man 3, the more I think about it, has been growing on me since my viewing in the theater.

And Spider-Man 3, flawed and mangled as it was, at least provided a decent ending for the trilogy and was better than The Amazing Spider-Man :P

Spider-Man 3 (dancing, emo Parker and all) was indeed better than The Amazing Spider-Man. No arguments there.

X-Men: The Last Stand was a brave, solid end to the X-Men trilogy. Some mutants get glossed over (no surprise there) but it had a grand sense of scale without being too silly. It featured some spectacular scenes and the big set pieces were satisfying. They already knew where they were headed with the franchise in the post-credits scene - teasing
Spoiler
the return of Charles Xavier. And yet that scene still doesn't lessen the impact of his death in a second viewing: the way it happened and the evil that consumed Jean Grey
[close]
. Unlike a certain film that featured a "moving" death scene that turned out to be a non-death scene eventually.

I just found Iron Man 3 to be a terrible, unfunny, forced mess from beginning to end. Which is a shame as I really enjoyed the first film and I liked the second film as well.

Oh well, different strokes and all that. Hopefully you like the third X-Men film when you get around to seeing it.

Wrath of the Titans.  Forgettable, considering it had a cast including Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Danny Huston and Tony Kebbel (very underrated British actor) it just had no heart to it, Sam Worthington was likeable enough and he tried, along with the cast but it just lacked in so many ways, and at times the effects were awful.  6/10

Legend

Now that's how you make a fantasy film.  I grew up loving this movie, and forgot how dark it was.  Tom Cruise is excellent in the lead, not to mention Tim Curry stealing the show as the villain "Darkness".  Mia Sara is also ridiculously hot when she's under the Darkness' influence.  I love the effects, cinematography and the score, it's one of my all time favourite movies, and really demonstrates the effectiveness of practical effects over CGI

10/10

We don't know that. It's been said over and over again that there's more to it than we know right now. :P

Just the fact that there's already two versions of that death scene (with a silly edit) and that there hasn't been any confirmations; shows that they aren't sure what they want to do with it. Instead of just confirming that he did indeed die and just leaving it be, they've cheapened the death scene with all their ambiguity. :P Besides, that definitely looked like the end of him there. And with him having no powers, it would just be silly to bring him back, should they decide to go that route.

Couldn't they just say, "The TV series takes place before his death and he is definitely dead." Or are they holding onto the possiblity of bringing him back for a future film?

I don't think they're going with the "Fury lied" angle, which is what many people seem to fear. Other than that, I'm eager to find out what up with his return. Could be a number of things going on. I'm sure the show won't just gloss it over. For me, if it's done right, it can work. If not, well, his death never struck me that hard to begin with.

But yeah, I expressed exactly the same when these news were released. They ruin his death in The Avengers with this dick move, but I guess it's all about making some money on a tv-show and they forgot to not kill off the most likely protagonist of the show in this film.

As for X3 - why didn't they bring back Nightcrawler, who was easily the best new character in X2? He was better and more interesting than all the new mutants Rattner blessed us with in X3 combined.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

X3 was a hit, and Fox wanted to make more movies. However, the previous films got increasingly more expensive, so someone got the idea to do spinoffs instead. Every involved with the franchise, including Hugh Jackman, wanted to make a film based on Wolverine's time in Japan, but Tom Rothman stepped in and insisted on an origin story. And we ended up with this.

I guess we can start with the positives, since that shouldn't take too long. The casting is really quite good here. Jackman is a good as he ever was in the role. Liev Schrieber makes for a compelling Sabertooth, even with the little he has to work with. Ryan Reynolds steals the show with five minutes of screen time as Wade Wilson, and most everyone else is fairly solid here. My only slight casting quibble is Danny Huston as Stryker. he's not terrible in the role, but doesn't really feel like the same character from X2. Any other positives... um, the one action scene with the mutant black ops team going after the diamond smugglers is pretty good, even if Logan and Victor get nothing to do there. And the "cool guys don't look at explosions" moment is kind of cool in a very stupid way.

Everything else is pretty bad, starting with the title. It's a tl;dr version of one of the big problems with the movie, namely that Logan's big solo picture is stuffed full of pointless mutant cameos that do more impressive stuff than he does. You could literally cut 80% of the characters out and lose next to nothing. Blob and Gambit are particularly bad examples of this, as they only exist for fanservice and adding pointless action scenes. The actors do decent jobs, but are completely useless as characters in a story.

The plot is an over-convoluted mess here, with material for at least for different stories all mushed together into a formless shoggoth of a story. By my count there are:

1. Logan's childhood and the emergence of his powers.

2. Logan and Victor joining Stryker's black ops team, which consists of Van Wilder, Merry Brandybuck, Barry Burton, an Equilibrium reject, and the dipshit who wrote "Imma Be".

3. A mangled version of the Weapon X story, which was somehow twisted into a lame ripoff of Commando and every revenge movie ever. Really, you're better off watching X2 again, which this movie can't even bother to be consistent with.

4. A Deadpool origin. Random, much? He actually turns out to be more relevant to the plot than Logan, who's bonding process ends up as just one MacGuffin of several that goes towards making Deadpool. And they royally f**ked up that character, too.

Oh, and I almost forgot:

5. A literal X-Men Origin, which comes out of nowhere in the final act, complete with Xavier CGed into an eggman.

On their own, these could have made for decent to excellent movies. The last one actually did gets it's own movie, and to no one's surprise, it was much better than this.

The majority of the action scenes aren't even all that good. The worst offender is easily the first fight between Wolverine and Sabertooth, which is terribly edited. All of their fights lack energy, mostly consisting of the two of them running at each other with claws/nails out. The helicopter chase is just dull when it really shouldn't be, since we know that Agent Zero has no way of actually killing Wolvy, even before he got the adamantium.

Another problem is ironically one of the film's strengths as well. Hugh Jackman gives a good performance, no doubt, but he's far too consistent with how he acted in the trilogy. Pre-amnesia Wolvy should have been a bloodthirsty but not entirely irredeemable killer, an "animal" as Stryker put it in X2. Now, characters keep calling him that here, but it's simply not true. This Logan is basically a good guy, who can't stand all the killing and quits the black ops team because of it. It just doesn't match up with what we know.

Weapon X is just bad here, with none of the sheer horror that the first two films were quick to impress on the audience. The bonding process is over in about five minutes, and has no impact at all, since it's just one cog in Stryker's plan. Logan doesn't even lose his memories from the trauma, so instead of having to reconnect with his humanity after a traumatic experience strips him of it, he instead has dinner with Ma and Pa Kent's non-union Canadian equivalents and then embarks on a generic revenge plot.

Honestly, if the movie had either started or ended with Weapon X, and explored the journey Logan's character takes before or after it, than this could have been something special. Instead, we get a trainwreck.

Just shoot me with an admantium bullet/10

There's a deleted scene which has Logan strapped to a chair getting his memories wiped. Should have used that instead of that very stupid admantium bullet.

The Wolverine

I enjoyed this. Thought it went a bit too generic near the end instead of focusing on staying close to the "more personal" approach that worked so well for the rest of the movie. Aside from that, I only have some minor gripes with this. The cinematography is fantastic most of the time, by the way.

X-Men: The Last Stand was a brave, solid end to the X-Men trilogy. Some mutants get glossed over (no surprise there) but it had a grand sense of scale without being too silly. It featured some spectacular scenes and the big set pieces were satisfying. They already knew where they were headed with the franchise in the post-credits scene - teasing

the return of Charles Xavier. And yet that scene still doesn't lessen the impact of his death in a second viewing: the way it happened and the evil that consumed Jean Grey

. Unlike a certain film that featured a "moving" death scene that turned out to be a non-death scene eventually.

So it's "brave" to have Magneto act out of character? It's "brave" to kill off a key character twenty minutes in, off screen no less? It's "brave" to kill another character, just to prove that Phoenix is totally evil and powerful?

Spoiler
And how is Xavier's death any different from Coulson's? He dies half way through the movie, everyone pretends to be said for five minutes, and then they suit up to go fight Magneto. his death has next to no effect on the characters, and end sup getting undone by the end, making it effectively pointless. Coulson's death at least served to bring the Avengers together. All Xavier's death accomplished was to prove that Phoenix can totally beat up powerful mutants.

There is no defense/justification for Coulson being revived.

X-Men: The Last Stand was a brave, solid end to the X-Men trilogy. Some mutants get glossed over (no surprise there) but it had a grand sense of scale without being too silly. It featured some spectacular scenes and the big set pieces were satisfying. They already knew where they were headed with the franchise in the post-credits scene - teasing
Spoiler
the return of Charles Xavier. And yet that scene still doesn't lessen the impact of his death in a second viewing: the way it happened and the evil that consumed Jean Grey

. Unlike a certain film that featured a "moving" death scene that turned out to be a non-death scene eventually.

So it's "brave" to have Magneto act out of character? It's "brave" to kill off a key character twenty minutes in, off screen no less? It's "brave" to kill another character, just to prove that Phoenix is totally evil and powerful?

Spoiler
And how is Xavier's death any different from Coulson's? He dies half way through the movie, everyone pretends to be said for five minutes, and then they suit up to go fight Magneto. his death has next to no effect on the characters, and end sup getting undone by the end, making it effectively pointless.

I'm not heavy into the comics, really.

Spoiler
Hell, I don't even like Cyclops. I just think that if any character should have been present for all the Phoenix stuff, it was the man who loved Jean as much as (more than?) Logan did. It was the perfect opportunity to finally give him something to do. Marsden apparently just loved the idea of being a superfluous character in a Superman movie, though.
[close]

And, comics or no comics, Magneto's character derailment here is simply inexcusable by any standard.

X-Men: First Class (2011)

After the double decker crap sandwich of Last Stand and Origins, the X-men franchise was on thin ice. One more shaky movie, and it could all be finished. Then Bryan Singer returned to the franchise, initially to direct a new prequel/pseudo-reboot/spinoff film, focusing on the formation of the first X-Men team and the friendship with between Xavier and Magneto. Singer stepped down as director before filming due to prior commitments, and was replaced by Matthew Vaughan, director of the excellent Kick-Ass. What resulted is one of the best films in the series so far, maybe even the best.

Set in the early 1960s, the film shows the beginnings of the X-Men, formed by Charles Xavier and CIA agent Moira MacTaggart in order to combat Sebastian Shaw and the Hellfire Club, and group of mutant supremacists who want to touch off WWIII by exploiting Cold War tensions. It's also a personal quest for Erik Lensherr, aka Magneto, who was tortured by Shaw when he worked in the concentration camp Erik had been locked up in as a boy. This all leads up to an epic confrontation with the Cuban Missile Crisis as a backdrop.

This plot just does it for me in so many ways. I love me a good period piece, and this movie pulls off the 60s setting and atmosphere very well. The story plays out like a Cold War spy thriller, particularly the early Bond films. That's just awesome in my book. All of the elements are in place. The only thing missing is a shark pool or other such death trap. I guess that would be kind of redundant when the villains can blow people up with stored energy, though. In short, it's Thunderball with mutants, and that's just plain awesome.

This is bolstered by the fact that most of the characters are very well handled. The majority of them have character arcs/moments to shine and plenty of screen time, something which the previous films never quite managed. Xavier and Magneto are handled the best, with good character development, a believable friendship in spite of their differences, and great performances from James MacAvoy and Michael Fassbender. The latter's Magneto is the single best thing in the film, feeling very much like Connery's Bond in several places. The rest of the cast is also good, the best being Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique and Nicholas Hoult's Beast, who both get well done character arcs regarding their struggles with being accepted by others, as well as learning to accept themselves. The only characters who really don't work on the side of the X-Men are Darwin, who really just serves as cannon fodder, and Angel, whose character arc is rushed and not entirely convincing. The villains are a different story. They're really there to look cool and act menacing, and it mostly works. Kevin Bacon is just awesome as Shaw, bringing a sense of real evil to his role. Azazel is underused, but still cool. When you're basically an evil Nightcrawler as played by Jason Flemyng, you can't not be cool. I'm going to have to go against the grain and say that I quite like January Jones as Emma Frost. I felt she played the icy but beautiful femme fatale very well. The weak link for me here was Riptide, Shaw's metrosexual tornado guy. He wasn't bad, just kind of there.

There's so many individual moments that I absolutely love here that it's hard to list them all. Whether it's raising the submarine, the best cameo ever, or the best training montage in recent years (Green Lantern, take note), the whole movie is memorable and fun. Oh, and the whole round up scene was awesome as well. Oh, and I love the final scene on the beach. Okay, I'll stop now.  :-X

The movie has a few problems, but, the two or three character issues above excepted, most are no more than nitpicks to me. For example I'm not fond of Xavier assuming the Pstandard Psychic Pstance when he never did so in the other movies. Um, I guess Moira MacTaggart being with the CIA was kind of weird, but it worked for the movie, so meh. The biggest issue I can bring up is Beast's makeup, which pretty cheap and not unlike blue carpet to me. I hope that gets improved on in Days of Future Past.

Oh, one more thing: I really liked the look of the uniforms in the movie. I had no problem with the black leather from the trilogy, but the blue and yellow flight suits are closer to the comics without looking ridiculous. They're really a happy medium between the two. I just hope they get some more X's slapped on them for the next movie.

Overall, I love the crap out of this film. It's a great superhero flick, and well worth watching multiple times. I'm a bit conflicted over where it would rank among the films. I love X2 to death, and don't quite want to knock down any lower. That being said, First Class is great in its own right.

Fetch me some ice/10

Patlabor 2: The Movie

Really liked this. Dragged terribly in places, however (Oh, yay! Another minutes-long montage of scenery and birds!), and got a bit too heavyhanded with its philosophy (Oh, yay! Another minutes-long speech about political and social ideals!), but the story was quite intriguing, and the characters are all great, even if many get next to no development. Many wonderfully tense scenes, and the action sequences that do happen are wonderful. Absolutely love the aesthetics of the Labors, as well. Beautiful mechs.

Iron Man 3
No need to write too much about it:
.....it actually felt like the best of the iron man films. The first one meandered in places while it searched for an interesting villain for Tony Stark to fight and only managed to come up with a bald Jeff Bridges trying to do his best of really bad dialogue. the 2nd one was just a f**king mess... and the 3rd one is a fun, endlessly entertaining homerun. It actually feels well directed now that Shane Black is behind the camera and the film has a wonderful "Die Hard" christmas vibe throughout. Worth a watch.

(I liked it better than The Avengers... wich was a bit of a bore for it's first 30 minutes.)

I was warned about a potential, film breaking "plot hole".. ...and i was amused to find it "solved" in the film itself.
Spoiler
Why Doesnt Tony Use all of his armours in battle when he has his suit damaged?" A: The armours where all hidden under the rubble of his home, and Tony needed to wait till the rubble was removed before he could open up the "basement".. wich only happens later in the flick, before the final battle. Pay attention to the scenes with Jarvis. It's all there.

I never had a problem with that supposed plot hole. The things that bothered me a bit were
Spoiler
the lack of S.H.I.E.L.D. presence during a nationwide terrorist attack culminating in the kidnapping of the president (but Marvel said that that would be explained at some point in the future) and Tony Stark removing the shrapnel and arc reactor from his chest after the second film made it clear that it wasn't that easy. Though I chalked that up to him utilizing Extremis in the process somehow.

Yep, those felt like bigger problems.

But in the film they say about the Mandarin that "this is a problem for the US government, not a problem for superheroes" ...and they get the "Iron Patriot" on the case, instead of Shield and the avengers. So they at least referenced that aspect of the broader marvel film universe.

And like in the comic books, superheroes dont really tend to have each other on speed dial. :P

When I said S.H.I.E.L.D. I didn't necessarily mean superhroes (or even people like Hawkeye and Black Widow); I was thinking more along the lines of your run-of-the-mill field agents and some of the higher-ups of the organization trying to track down the Mandarin.

But like you said, at least Iron Patriot was on the job.

The Wolverine

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It wasn't as good as X2 or First Class, but still very much worth seeing in theaters. Jackman is at his very best, owning the role like no other can. The rest of the cast is very good as well. Hiroyuki Sanada is awesome as always, and Rila Fukushima's Yukio was pretty damn cool. Now, I'm no fan of Last Stand, but I very much appreciated the fact that the events of the movie had a lasting effect on Logan, who's still haunted by his actions years later. I even liked the third act more than most people did, but I agree that it could have used a little toning done, like having a more classic Silver Samurai and less OTT acting from Viper. Other than that, it's a damn fine modern samurai film starring the most badass Canadian in fiction.

Mah nigga Denzel and Marky Mark go the buddy cop/ action movie route and team up in this fairly generic flick. The story was nothing special, we've seen it a hundred times. But it's the chemistry between both Washington and Wahlberg which makes the movie shine. The supporting characters are also fun to watch; particularly Bill Paxton as a crooked CIA cowboy. Edward James Olmos was also fun as a slimy drug kingpin. Very forgettable though.

X-Men: The Last Stand

So after all this time of having this movie built up as not only a terrible X-Men movie but also a bad film in general, I don't think I could have gone in with lower expectations. And maybe that was for the best, because I genuinely liked it. A lot of the themes that I loved from the first two films were in full focus here, and presented in interesting ways that at times came across in very unexpected ways. I liked what they did with most of the characters (minus the fact that Cyclops only had five or so minutes of scree time; even in the first two movies I felt that he was criminally underused). I  guess my biggest problem with the movie was that there was too much content to explore to its fullest potential in a mere one hour and forty minutes. The Phoenix story and the mutant cure story both had enough weight that they could have been their own films. For what it was, though, I really liked The Last Stand and found it to be a worthy-enough conclusion to the first arc of X-Men films.

Some of the random generic mutants in Magneto's army had pretty lame powers, though :P



The Wolverine

I think this may have been the surprise hit of the summer for me. After not being particularly impressed by the rather generic looking trailers and not just feeling all that inclined to check the movie out (I never have been the biggest X-Man fan, though that is now thankfully changing), I ultimately decided that it would be worth giving this movie a go if only to get myself in the mood for next year's fantastic sounding Days of Future Past. And I am so glad that I gave it that chance.

First things first; this is not an X-Men movie. The Wolverine is very much about its titular character and its own internal supporting cast. The movie is much darker than any of the X-Men films that preceded it, and I found that the upped violence worked very well given the nature of Wolverine's character and the situation that he had been thrown into.
Very light on mutants (aside from Wolverine there are only two other mutants in the film), the movie was able to present numerous unique situations and characters that looked and felt very different from the usual bunch that are often associated with Wolverine and the X-Men.

The movie definitely had its own share of problems (underutilized villains and some fuzzy contradictions with the previous films regarding Wolverine's memory loss, namely), but what it did right more than made up for the few blips that popped up from time to time. Overall, everything just clicked in all the right ways and won me over in a film that just a few weeks ago I wasn't particularly interested in at all.

And just a random aside, all of the women in this movie were gorgeous. And that mid-credits scene...that was fantastic. People were actually clapping once it finished. Bring on Days of Future Past! 8)

Magneto using Phoenix after she killed Charles was woefully out of character, IMO. See also his callous disregard for his own allies and throwing Mystique under the bus without a second thought.

And yes, Cyclops was shamefully handled here. F**kin' Superman Returns.

Quote
The Wolverine

I think this may have been the surprise hit of the summer for me. After not being particularly impressed by the rather generic looking trailers and not just feeling all that inclined to check the movie out (I never have been the biggest X-Man fan, though that is now thankfully changing), I ultimately decided that it would be worth giving this movie a go if only to get myself in the mood for next year's fantastic sounding Days of Future Past. And I am so glad that I gave it that chance.

First things first; this is not an X-Men movie. The Wolverine is very much about its titular character and its own internal supporting cast. The movie is much darker than any of the X-Men films that preceded it, and I found that the upped violence worked very well given the nature of Wolverine's character and the situation that he had been thrown into.
Very light on mutants (aside from Wolverine there are only two other mutants in the film), the movie was able to present numerous unique situations and characters that looked and felt very different from the usual bunch that are often associated with Wolverine and the X-Men.

The movie definitely had its own share of problems (underutilized villains and some fuzzy contradictions with the previous films regarding Wolverine's memory loss, namely), but what it did right more than made up for the few blips that popped up from time to time. Overall, everything just clicked in all the right ways and won me over in a film that just a few weeks ago I wasn't particularly interested in at all.

And just a random aside, all of the women in this movie were gorgeous. And that mid-credits scene...that was fantastic. People were actually clapping once it finished. Bring on Days of Future Past! 8)

Well, I can't wait to see your Origins review. :laugh:

Pretty much agreed with everything. As far as his memories are concerned, if he can remember bits of the bonding process in his dreams, it's not too far fetched to assume that he can partially remember other things, as well. really wished that had been addressed, though.

Spoiler
What did you think of Logan losing his adamantium claws? I know some people are going to be pissed that he has the bone claws back. I'm one of the few who actually likes them.

I agree, bring on Days of Future Past.

I didn't mind him losing his claws. He still has his adamantium skeleton and its understandable he can regrow his claws but they won't be covered in adamantium makes sense. Besides I rather enjoyed the bone claws for the time we get to see them in orgins and the wolverine.

Drinking Buddies

Definitely not the movie the promotional material makes it out to be. It's not lighthearted or a comedy, but an unsettlingly truthful and relatable look at confused relationships and romances. It's leads are unbelievably strong paired together; both Jake Johnson and Olivia Wilde give their absolute best, and utterly absorbing performances that remind me of Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan's in Shame. A lot of the movie feels improvised and neatly edited, the comedy coming as it would in a normal conversation with people with (and without) chemistry, and with cleverly disguised major beats-- an almost disturbingly voyeuristic experience.

The story goes a direction I didn't imagine it heading in quite early in the movie and it was a pleasant surprise because it could have easily fell into cliched territory and ruined what was shaping up to be incredibly promising. The end works out exactly as it should for the story, and in a complicated manner for complicated characters, even though it can be boiled down to the benefit of knowing boundaries, and when not to cross them. Completely unexpected and emotionally effective movie, particularly to anybody who's experienced anything similar to the predicament the characters here find themselves in.

It's definitely one of those movies that you either love or find it underwhelming, I'm in the latter, much the same with A Clockwork Orange, and for all it's acclaim it's not a patch on Dark City, criminally underrated movie

25th Hour

I been re - watching my favourite films in hi def recently and finally got to this after all the Spike Lee talk the last few weeks it was due.

Based on the novel written and then adapted to film by David Benioff by (Game Of Thrones writer & producer) It's primarily a story of Monty (played by Edward Norton)  a convicted drug dealer charting the last 25 hours before he faces seven years in prison. Although that is the main narrative of the film, it's really a story of social strata in New York City, all set against the back drop of the ruined World Trade Center 6 months after 9/11, and really contrasts Monty's paranoia with the paranoia of the aftermath of 9/11.

The story is told through Monty's interactions with Long time friends Jacob (Philip Seymour Hoffman) a Intellectual prep school teacher born into wealth yet embarrassed of having a trust fund, and Wall Street trader and childhood friend  Frank (Barry Pepper who really plays the role to perfection), Monty's girlfriend Naturelle (Rosario Dawson) whom he suspects ratted him out, and Brian Cox as Monty's Irish bar owning grieving widower father, and a motley collection of russian mobsters.

I think it's Edward Norton's best role, he really displays a great amount of range as Monty and it really includes some unforgettable scenes like this one that makes a RagingDragon rant seem light.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GgI1W2fAI4#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GgI1W2fAI4#ws)

And some really great tracking shots, specifically one of Anna Paquin in the club, all very signature of Spike.

Regardless of what you might think of Spike Lee, this is an excellent film, probably one of the best of last decade.

Predator - It has been about a year since I last watched it, a few little things came up I feel need addressed.

1. The picture quality seems to jump from crystal clear to fuzzy and distorted thoughout the film: Most notably when Mac was setting up the tripwires and flares then talked to Dutch about Blaine. Hopefully the Bluray 3D will fix that. (Not that I can watch it anyways) :(

2. The final scene of Arnold and the Predator has background differences. It seems like the editors would have noticed that it was during night time correct? There are a few shots were it is OBVIOUSLY daytime (such as when the Predator was jumping from the trees to get to the fire.)

3. When the Predator is defeated and accepting his final act, his laugh is one of the most sinister laughs ever.

4. Kevin Peter Hall is the only true Predator (he was in P2 as well). His actions were so effortless and his size (esp. compared to Arnold) makes current Predator actors look like...

5. Blaine is the most quotable character in the movie aside from Arnold.

6. Billy WAS insane.

7. Dillon proves you never know who your real friends are.

This movie never gets old and is the perfect Predator movie. 10/10

I dealt with the vampire cowboys in the second movie, but a vampire Ekart Brand? Yeah, I was done with this movie. Because, Rayne is shot by a soldier and her blood drops on the face of Commandant Ekart Brand. She kills him but he turns into a powerful vampire.

Naruto: Road To Ninja

Best naruto movie yet. Holy shit. I had to leave tk a mates place and it was almost finished I considered pausing it but the shit happened and stuff and minato and dude I couldnt movr. Rocked up late. Worth it.
Was it just me or did it remind you of why you love Naruto?

It did actually, I only just look at the latest manga chapters now and then just to see where its up to and dont really follow the anime as much as i used to. but when I watched this I was like 'holy shit,this is why Naruto is amazing' some parts nearly had me on tears and others i was literally on the edge of my seat jumping like some spaz.

Its kickstarted the fan in me again, and now I actually want to go and buy Ultimate Ninjastorm 3. lol...i put it off for too long.
You ain't alone mahn. I agree with all of this. Just stick to the manga that way you don't have to deal with all of the filler and bad pacing. Then you can just go back and watch some of the scenes you would like to see animated like fight scenes, or emotional parts.


The Conjuring

7/10

A pretty good horror movie. Most of it was predictable and unintentionally comedic, but there were a few scenes that were able to give me chills, and goosebumps which made up for a lot of it. I wish they hadn't shown so many of the good scares in the trailer though.  :-\

Never watch the movies if you want to know about Rayne,Uwe boll destroyed everything about her character. Nothing is how she is.

Play the games if you want to see what shes really like,and then you'll see she deserved a shitload better then Uwe dragging her face thru shit. Majesco gave him too much creative freedom and I'm glad they stripped it from him before he was going to do a 4th film.

It started well enough, but finished with a *pffftt*

You love Pixar films, you should be immune to endings like this.

Wha--? Where's the connection there???

That being said, I had no problem with Looper's ending, from what I remember. The film just didn't grip me the way that it gripped others.

The daddy clown fish finds Nemo.

The Incredibles ended with the family returning to normalcy.

The red head in Brave got the spell reversed.

Cars

Cars 2

Toy Story 3 didn't incinerate the toys.

I don't remember how UP ended, but I'm sure it's formulaic.

I don't remember Ratatouille, either. But you know the drill.

By the way, I didn't mean the end of the film specifically, I meant the entire second half.

And Toy Story 3, Ratatouille, Up, Finding Nemo and the Incredibles have beautiful endings. The Cars movies and Brave are PIXAR'S shoddy work. Everyone knows that.

Godzilla (1998)

"Where did you get this guy?"

"He's from France!"

First time seeing it in years, and I still like it a lot. Zilla is a cool monster in his own right, and the characters aren't too bad, with a few obvious exceptions. Maria Pitillo really isn't very good, and there's some scenes where Matthew Broderick sounds like he could care less, but Hank Azaria and Jean Reno more than make up for that. And is it just me, or is Harry Shearer doing his Reverend Lovejoy voice in every scene he's in?

I'd say the biggest problem for me is that the film is easily fifteen minutes too long. I could have done with a significant cutting down of the half baked romance, especially since neither actor seems to really give a damn about it. Also, the JP lite/nest sequence could do with some judicious trimming. There's also quite a bit of silliness I wouldn't mind dropping, like pretty much all of the Siskel and Ebert mocking which wasn't really all that funny. All that could have gone to something else, like a subplot about slapping together a new, uber-powerful brand of missile that's capable of killing Zilla, or something like that.

Oh, and after all the butthurt I've been hearing about Zilla not having a breath weapon, I thought I had imagined it breathing fire when I was a kid. Nope, it really does breathe fire in the movie. Granted, it isn't exactly atomic breath and only uses it twice, but it's still a breath weapon. :P

The Zilla fight in Final Wars is a bunch of bullshit/10

Still bullshit and completely unnecessary. Zilla is a made into a chump purely for a stupid Take That.

Zilla is a chump, due to it being a mockery of the American Godzilla and everything. Otherwise it wouldn't be a mockery at all. :)
And yes that scene is the fulfillment of a resentment-filled fanboy, but it is not worth of any attention.

Get Carter (Not the shitty Stallone remake)

Michael Caine takes the lead in "Alfred Begins" as London gangster Jack Carter, who travels to Newcastle to find out who murdered his brother.  Caine is brilliant, he's an absolute bastard throughout, the Newcastle setting is gritty and depressing but in a good way.  I can see where Shane Meadows got a few ideas for Dead Man's Shoes.  It's a true British classic and definitely one of Caine's best films

10/10

Soudned a bit more like his Kent Brockman to me, with the added twang of sensationalism.

QuoteThere's also quite a bit of silliness I wouldn't mind dropping, like pretty much all of the Siskel and Ebert mocking which wasn't really all that funny.
That was one of the more outright horrible parts of the movie. They devoted two entire characters (beyond cameos) to poking fun at Siskel and Ebert merely because they didn't like Emmerich's ID4 or Stargate. A very lame, ineffective flick of the tongue at best. It's basically the movie's equivalent to the eventual Final Wars "Zilla" thing.

Well...watched it for a second time with my father. We couldn't get the old DVD player we have in the living room to play my CD, so I had to drag my Xbox out of my room.  :laugh:

Holy f**k, the second time is always the best. I about died of laughter again, my dad; not so much. As soon as the movie was over, my dad was like "that was a bad movie". Then I had to explain the Postal franchise to him.  :D

Escape From New York

Well this was an absolute blast. Beautifully dark and hilariously over-the-top, Escape From New York is one of those cult gems that just works as a simple, engrossing, overly-violent action film in a very stylish setting. Loved it.

Now I want to see Snake Plissken go up against Judge Dredd :P

Oblivion (2013)

I have absolutely no problem with slow-paced films but when a film drags, something is wrong. The first hour is incredibly slow and flawed. This includes unnecessary flashbacks. Who didn't see the
Spoiler

[close]
coming? It would have been far more interesting if
Spoiler
she just told him she's his wife, without the inclusion of flashbacks.
[close]

I love Morgan Freeman but he just didn't work for me in this film. I didn't even care for Tom Cruise in his role. I've got nothing against him - despite his ridiculous scientology ways - but he's more of a movie star in the sense that he's bankable despite his limited range (*see Will Smith). I've only ever cared for a few of his performances and, even then, I wasn't blown away by any of them. I would have loved to see more interesting actors cast in these roles, even if it meant casting fresh talent.

Olga Kurylenko delivers a solid performance but its Melissa Leo and Andrea Riseborough who truly steal the show with their performances and make the film work on an emotional level.

Visually, the film is very strong and breathtaking. But its lead actor and the flawed pacing prevent this film from being the masterpiece it could be.

Live Action adaptation of the anime series, Quite abit different though in practically everything. Good but could have been alot better. I kind of feel that some characters where rushed when in the series they are great and would have been good if they were noted more in the film but its almost as if this film was an Alternate universe to the one in the series.

Depressing ending. Actually,the whole film was depressing lol

Stick with the anime instead,as thats a masterpeice.

Pretty much what I thought it would be, but an ultimately weaker story than I had expected. First, let's get the negatives out of the way... the biggest of these were the flashbacks and the "you were born for greatness" angle given to Max's character that made things at times thematically suffocating (most notably the very predictably set up ending). The flashbacks beyond (and including elements of the opening scene) feel entirely unnecessary, though this feels more like Blomkamp pandering to the lowest common denominator. The theme I thought was going to be distracting, wasn't; health care availability. It's merely presented as a central issue in this future, and that issue happens to be relevant today. Blomkamp has said it himself, he's not out to make 'message films' or present a political stance, just to make a movie that is relevant. It can be debated whether that makes it a heavy-handed, politically charged film, but I don't see it as that at all... I just see it as a good sci-fi.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8396%2F8637208094_03100de73a_o.jpg&hash=22710cc971aa2b48283039acc191c9e5ba821d22)

Now... how about what's good?! Let's start with the visuals and world building... which are phenomenal. Aside from perhaps Guillermo del Toro, I can't think of anybody directing today with as much of a passion for creating a fully realized sci-fi environment as Neill Blomkamp. From the slight 'dignified' accents developed by the people of Elysium, living in close proximity to one another over time, to Kruger's (more on this crazy bastard later) ravaged Afrikaans-- which I do believe to be completely intentional, though it may just be a character-specific quirk. On Earth, focused on LA, borders seem nearly non-existent and the only place immigration matters in this overpopulated world is from the ground to Elysium, a world with an economy leaching off of Earth's workers and the corporations that employ them.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fl.yimg.com%2Fbt%2Fapi%2Fres%2F1.2%2FcLhukRk6QZ4DTItkb8cQXw--%2FYXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTIzNjtweW9mZj0wO3E9ODU7dz01NzU-%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen_US%2FNews%2FSPACE.com%2FSpace_Station_Science_Could_Humanity-d01e0cdb371f5258f74e3af52ec17464&hash=f65703851d144fcf1666b876d3a2cce3810e8f6b)

As to be expected from Blomkamp, the CGI is damn-near perfected (only a few strange camera movements break the illusion at times), and it makes even LA 2154's grit look beautiful and flawlessly organic, along with the distant towers, transport and military ships flying overhead, and, perhaps most impressively, the amazingly rendered droids-- those were my favorite. The fluidity of their motion combined with the details in the movement and structure that make them robotic is astounding and utterly convincing. Even Elysium's jaw-dropping vistas and structures (as well as the mega structure itself) seem naturally integrated into the film's overall aesthetic and great practical sets without any jarring transitions that clearly telegraph it as "the place where everything is now CGI-- even though that is in large part the case. I can't wait to go over everything frame-by-frame on Blu-Ray just to admire the details.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tribute.ca%2Ftribute_objects%2Fimages%2Fmovies%2FElysium%2Felysium24.jpg&hash=7542f26b28394dc3443d1b2292058c65ad53431d)

Of course, none of this would be half as compelling without the design talent behind it all. The artists over at Weta, in all of their many departments, have truly outdone themselves. Pure Cyberpunk sci-fi porn; fans of the genre will salivate at every dropship, droid, suit of armor, messily strewn set of wires feeding neon lit machines and mechanisms, and lineup of weapons, which are wonderfully functional feeling, and have their distinct manufacturer characteristics; those from Elysium feel naturally assembled with sharply lethal top of the line quality, whereas Earth's gangs and crews have thrown together monsters out of contemporary weapons, heavily modifying (sometimes a quick weld, sometimes looking like it's held together with tape) different parts and their ammunition for maximized (and creative) effects.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Frhinews.files.wordpress.com%2F2012%2F07%2Felysium-hi-res-image.jpg%3Fw%3D580&hash=c0483b713dbccc584742bf783ca1237462aa1f80)

The characters, while nothing to write home about (with the exception of Spider and Kruger), are very competently acted, lead by a strong, charismatic performance by Matt Damon as Max. Matt works hard, and you can see that he loves the material; even when he installs the exo-suit and begins throwing people across rooms (I'd go as far as to call him a cyborg after the installation), he's still believable and a very human soul for the film. Stepping away from those with a soul, we have Sharlto Copley's Kruger... wow. I've seen insane, both refined and unhinged, but after a certain event in the movie, Kruger goes from somebody who is established as sick and psychotic to a terrifying, raging beast, foaming at the mouth, and it's, well, kind of incredible to watch. Strangely, I can't even call it scenery chewing, because he really just does become a mad cyborg-creature (with a top-grade exo-suit) driven by the mere instinct to kill and destroy anything with a semblance of structure. A great find is Wagner Moura, who plays Spider: an eccentric and driven director of operations that Max goes to in order to get to Elysium. He has fun with the character and gives a great, energetic performance without going overboard and making the character seem cartoonish.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.filmbuzi.hu%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F%2F2013%2F04%2Felysium-113.jpg&hash=eeda4f31fd94bf962d77076a4bd2de2b30ccf5c4)

Overall, the film isn't as compelling as District 9, suffering from some thematic flatness and occasionally obnoxious flashbacks/callbacks, but the design vision, devotion, energy, and passion for the genre instantly elevates this from what could have been (and very well may be considered as, by some) a complete failure. I can see opinions on this one being split, but I had a good time with it and felt inspired afterward, snapping night photos of the city around me and trying to capture even the seemingly smallest technological advancements and mentally comparing them to how it would have seemed to witness something like it one hundred-plus years ago- not to mention doing it all from my phone. We're living the science fiction of the past, and comparing this modern day to the advancements in Elysium, it really doesn't seem far off course on our technological trajectory.

I like the way you look at things Sweeps. You have a grounded perspective with just the right amount of cautious, conservatively invested unconditional geek love of the genre that doesn't make me feel like you are giving the movie more than it's due just because of concepts and eye candy design.

I could smell the lack of story a mile a way ... and that political agenda ... but by articulating what you were able to appreciate from the film makes me feel like I'll have a better than average chance of really digging this in the theater.

Pacific Rim - 6/10

Well.... it was sort of ok entertaining, but not much else. The plot and characters are wafer-thin, which is a surprise in a Del Toro film. At least it didn't reduce itself into pathetically poor and banal character interactions like the ones Bay granted humanity with in his Bayformers films. The interesting thing to watch here are the creature designs and they did good with those. The ending feels like a clone of the ending of The Avengers, whether or not some 'inspiration' was in play here or not.

Not totally put off in any way, but the thought that Del Toro was booted of a promising At The Mountains Of Madness passion project over this... :-\

So, I was a bit late getting on the whole Neill Blomkamp train; I didn't see District 9 until a couple years after its original release, and at that point all I knew about it was that it was the film that rose out of the ashes of what could have been a perfect Halo film. When I finally sat down and gave District 9 a go with an open, unbiased mind I was stricken with awe by the world and the story and the characters that Neill Blomkamp and his crew had created, and knew immediately that he was a director who's career would be extremely interesting to follow in the years to come. Now flash forward a couple years to Blmkamp's second film, Elysium: I'll just start off by saying that, if I have to make a comparison, Elysium was not quite as good as Neill Blomkamp's first effort. That shouldn't really be seen as a negative for this movie, though. District 9 raised the bar to an impossibly high level, and in and of itself Elysium is a rather fantastic piece of world-building filled to the brim with beautiful imagery to feast your eyes on throughout its runtime.  After reading some mixed reviews over the past few weeks, I admit to having been a bit hesitant about the direction that the story seemed to have been taken in (particularly because of what I heard described by numerous sources as obnoxiously in-your-face political commentary) , but I wound up invested in the world, the story, the characters, and even the commentary of Elysium far more than I ever thought I could be.

As a science-fiction piece and a film in general, Elysium has a lot going for it. Matt Damon was excellent in the role of Max, and Sharlto Copley was perfect as the fookin' batshit-crazy Agent Kruger (he stole the scene every time he showed up). The visuals, as per the Blomkamp usual, were utterly breathtaking, and the general look and feel of the world of the film struck the right amount of balance between unusually relatable and dramatically off-putting. There were a lot of slow-motion and sped up sequences that, for one reason or another, didn't work for me at all, but when the camera was allowed to just do its thing and show us the fantastic imagery of both Earth and Elysium it really was a sight to behold.

While I find it hard to relate on a personal level to a lot of Max's actions early on in the film, I was ultimately able to reconcile and connect with him as a character as he slowly but surely began to grow as events progressed and the situation he was tangled up in became more and more dire. His journey, and the journey of the people of Earth, ultimately won me over by the end. As for the social and political messages that were undoubtedly presented in the film, I honestly did not find them to be distracting in any way that was detrimental to the movie. Yes, they were plastered in the forefront of the film much more than those displayed in District 9, but I also felt as though they were woven into the story in interesting enough ways that being beat over the head with the messages never got particularly annoying or tiresome. If anything, it actually felt kind of natural.

There was one scene in particular that gripped me like no other.
Spoiler
Early on in the film, just after Max was equipped with his exo-suit, there was a scene in which he fought a couple of the red droids just prior to his first encounter with Kruger. Towards the end of this fantastically shot scene, which was completely devoid of both soundtrack and the excessive slow motion that had hindered some of the other action scenes, Max and a droid faced off in one of the most physically intense and grueling hand to hand exchanges I have seen in a movie. I felt every blow as flesh and metal clashed in this spectacularly shot and acted sequence.
[close]
That being said, there was also one segment that did not work for me in any way whatsoever, and that was
Spoiler
Kruger's facial reconstruction. I don't know if it happened too fast or if the CGI just didn't look right or if it was just poorly executed right from its initial conception in the script, but it was really bad. I couldn't get into in at all.
[close]

Overall, I can easily say that Elysium did a lot more right than it did wrong. Anyone looking for a masterfully created world with characters and a story that, while far from original, work very well in their assigned roles will surely find what they are looking for in Elysium.

I said it after watching District 9 a couple years back, and I feel perfectly safe saying it again now: Neill Blomkamp is a director that I am going to have a lot of fun following in the years to come.

Yeah, that irked me as well (even if it did look effectively freakish). Though one thing I did enjoy in that scene was...

the bit of dark humor from the mercs that were confident he could be revived where they're suddenly joking about their boss' incident and the brutality of the way the grenade tore his face apart-- though if he was conscious they would have NEVER said anything like that.  :laugh:

Possession 1981 film with Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F1-media-cdn.foolz.us%2Fffuuka%2Fboard%2Fwsg%2Fimage%2F1350%2F47%2F1350476736412.gif&hash=a5629595888ae8d01627d5543b99b2e5812e3431)

Miscarriages, consensual tentacle sex, murder, histeria, surrealism, gallons of blood, madness, the messiest ending of a relationship i've ever seen, doppelgangers, spies, detectives, crazy new age-y secret lovers...

it was great!  :D

Lars von Trier's Antichrist gets compared to this all the time and i can see why as both are weird horror films that portrait the ending of a relationship and have great performances by their female leads... but Antichrist is nowhere near as good or memorable as this film. This is in a whole different league of crazy.

This film will drive you insane, Cthulhu style.

Highly recommended.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

"Never, ever, throw chips at a driver."

The last film in John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy, and probably his last truly great one, In the Mouth of Madness begins with insurance investigator John Trent as he gets tossed into a mental hospital and tells his story to a visiting psychiatrist. He tells of how he was hired to investigate the disappearance of bestselling writer Sutter Cane, and ended up in a New England town that by all rights should not exist.

I really, really enjoyed this movie, all three times I've seen it. It has a genuinely interesting plot, with an interesting spin on the classic Lovecraftian themes, with a dash of mind-bending metafiction thrown in for good measure. Most of the acting is fine with Sam Neill and Jurgen Prochnow turning in excellent performances. The only weak performance is from Julie Carmen, who has some good moments but is rather meh for the most part. There are some genuinely creepy/scary moments sprinkled throughout, with some particularly good dream sequences as some of the standouts. (Talking raptor, eat your heart out. The creature/makeup effects are also quite spectacular. The ending is a masterful bit o0f writing, in my opinion.

Overall, it's a very good film, and well worth checking out. I'd kill for a Stephen King commentary track. :laugh:

Lupin III: The Secret of Mamo

Cool, funny, and sexy in a quirky kind of way. Hell, even the ending was surprisingly complex with the Mamo concept, wasn't expecting that. The series kinda feels like a sweet combination of James Bond and Indiana Jones through a crazy animated filter.

I believe this has been my first Lupin III experience in watching something the whole way through (though it feels familiar, may have caught some episodes of the TV series when I was younger), and I look forward to watching Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro (which the series seems to be most known for in movie form, no doubt being because it was Miyazaki's first feature) and the recent 'semi-prequel' series The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, which I pre-ordered after watching the trailer (http://youtu.be/n3xwSP-kDiE) and looking up some stuff on the series, very soon.

World War Z

Brad Fogg traveling around the world hoping to find a cure for zombies adapted for the general public sums this up. And it's surprisingly decent. We're not talking about a remarkable blockbuster here, but it's a nice piece of shallow entertainment given the fact it had a very troubled production. Definitely better than the turd I was anticipating. Worth matinee price.

6.5/10

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

Pacific Rim

A generic basic premise serves as base for a monumental piece of entertainment with tons of heart and details put into it. It's a well-crafted piece of good ol' fun narrative-wise, all enveloped in a fantastic tribute to mech animes and the kaiju genre. Idris Elba steals every scene he's in, but I thought everyone did a good job in this. The OST is catchy as well. And the movie looks gorgeous. It's beautifully shot.

I just wish the chinese and russian jaegers lasted a bit longer (getting to know their pilots) and that Mako's "transformation" into a great pilot was a bit more developed.

Definitely the best blockbuster of this summer along with Star Trek: Into Darkness, which I thought was a bit more complete. My inner child loved this more though. Cult classic. Calling it now.

9/10

Maybe, but not as silly as having some guy's face being completely restored by a machine.

Ghost in the Shell

In a world in wich 99% of scifi action films depend on destroying some sort of monster or saving a few people, a city.. or often times the whole world.. it's refreshing to see a film whose story just hinges on something incredibly rare in film....

the exploration of ideas.. with a main character driven to the end of the plot not to save the world or a few people, but to find answers to solve her existential angst.

You could throw a stick at it and say... the end is predictable! But that would be ignoring the main drive of the story... wich is the exploration of philosophical ideas that are important to the main character in the framework of a cyberpunk  espionage thriller. It's about the emotional core and ideas of a character.... not about providing you with endless twists and twists like M. Night ShIAMAHACK. ...and even then it's very surprising at times, as the whole notion of Project 2501 calmly unravels before our eyes.

The film is very "peaceful" even in it's action scenes, preferring to be "beautiful" rather than bombarding you with visual noise and a bombastic action score. Some people might be put off by this... but they are probably not worth giving a damn about.

Flawless visuals, great action, perfect soundtrack and very thought provoking... 10/10 for me.

I like my anime the same way I like my French new wave, "existential" GITS has many similarities with a French New wave movie, stylisticaly and tonally, what helps GTIS is the incidents depicted are becoming more prescient with every passing year, especially the political intrigue elements, every time I read about the Edward Snowden case I get GITS flashbacks, most recently the admission that the NSA is replacing many of their system admins with Virtual Agents, I wouldn't be surprised that DARPA or the NSA will be or are designing the real PN2501 as we speak.

The film is Oshii at his pinnacle, people complaining about the pacing need to take their ADD medicine. I hope to god Spielberg never gets around to remaking this live action, the film sits besides Bladerunner at the pinacle of Cyberpunk cinema.

I think the writers slipped it with QoS. They imagined they could do just as good a job as Fleming did with Casino Royale (a Bond film without inserting all the typical Bond-things in the story), but clearly the final film told us otherwise. It has a couple of well executed stand alone sequences, but the overall story arc and the characters just aren't that interesting. They should also have ended the Bond-Quantum thing with a final showdown, if they had no intention of going further along that story element in future films, which seems to be the case judging from Skyfall and what people in-the-know have said about it.

Definitely! There was nothing engaging about Quantum of Solace. There were a few scenes that would have worked well as promo clips but ultimately fall flat with regards to the bigger picture. Even the theme song was a travesty - coming a close second to Madonna's terrible theme song.

My favorite action scene in QoS just might be the opening car chase, also because it works as a gimmick on a premise established in the final scene of Casino Royale. The opera scene was well made too, but after that, I'm struggling to find something to latch on to.

There's a reason why you can quote one-liners from Casino Royale and Skyfall all day long, not nothing comes to mind from QoS.

PS: have you watched Moonraker? It's so bad, it's unintentionally funny. Jaws falls in love, for Christs sake. :D

I caught some of Moonraker on TV one day. They were having a Bond film marathon during that month and I did see some of the very-dated-looking Bond films. There are some definite classics there along with some really terrible entries. :laugh:

The Possession (2012)

A pretty decent horror film starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the father of two girls, one of whom becomes possessed by an old Jewish spirit. It wasn't that scary to be honest, but it played out well enough and it was interesting to see a Jewish take on the whole thing instead of the usual Christian. In some ways it also reminded me of Mama.

6/10

Elite Squad (2007)

An interesting and brutal look at the BOPE police in Rio de Janeiro. My only real problems were that the narrative was kind of choppy and that the editing could have been better. It's not hard to see why Jose Padilha got the RoboCop remake. Rio in this movie makes Old Detroit look like a cakewalk. I'll definitely be checking out the sequel.

Holy damn.

When it's obvious there's going to be some kind of big plot twist in your story three minutes in, maybe, just maybe, you've got problems; and when you then advertise those plot twists five to ten minutes in advance, at least, perhaps, perhaps, you need to start about redrafting your script a bit; and when all of your twists and turns basically turn into a "Sci-fi movie history's greatest twists" special, each one somehow lamer than the last, then I'd say it's time to just ditch your whole script and start back from scratch.

Christ. Interesting set up, beautiful production design, some of the most consistently convincing CGI in a looooong time, all wasted on the laziest, most deplorably uninspired script I've seen since Avatar.

I think it had more to do with what I was expecting than anything else. I thought there was going to me more about BOPE preparing for the Pope's visit than Neto and Matias's journey from rookie cops to Nascimento's successors.

Innocence aka Ghost in the Shell 2.

Overall, just as good as the original. And even better in some respects. In hindsight, the character dialogue in the first film felt too stilted and devoid of "individuality" at times... in this one, it's a lot more sophisticated and the characters feel much more alive and full of details and idiosyncrasies. The Detective story plot is also a lot more engrossing and unpredictable than that of the original film, with plenty of twists and turns. The final fight is hectic and badass and the scene at Kim's house is one hell of a mindf**k!

The theme is also explored in more depth than that of the first film.

Oshii got better with age. :)

The soundtrack is as beautiful as the one of the original, but i'm more partial to this one with it's huge pounding drums, chants and john carpenter synths. Visually, the first film was full of a steely blue colour, this one has a warmer pallet with plenty of oranges and reds.

The change in lead character from the Major to Batou was well handled.. and i may feel a bit more partial to Batou... a sort of way smarter cyborg Dutch Schaefer. A big man with a heart of gold. ;)

The problems that people may have with this film?

Well:

the plot is a lot more DENSE and detailed than that of the first film... and it feels very easy to get lost in it's complexity and amidst it's philosophical discussions and allusions. But it's definitely a film that benefits from multiple viewings.

It requires knowing the first film pretty well to understand all of it. I dont think casual fans of the first film will get a few details.

There's no sense of progression in the main character unlike the first film, wich ended with a major change.. in the Major. Ba dum tish. But it's not a problem, as the film is more interested in getting US to explore philosophical questions through it's characters.. and that it does damn well. ...most Sherlock Holmes stories didnt end with ANY change in it's lead character too.

It's a film for smart c**ts.

Recommended :)

Currently partway through Killing Them Softly, I don't think I'll continue as it's unspeakably boring. Hinges entirely on 'naturalistic' dialogue which is utterly devoid of flair, immersion, pacing or pertinence. The one bright spot has been James Gandolfini's final role, he shows up every other actor in the film - so much charisma and nuance of performance that his scenes almost make the film watchable.

But yeah, even then it's still 'almost'. The director's previous work, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, is one of my very favourite films of all time, and you can see a bit of his scene-setting in the bleak, desolate world of modern New Orleans. But it's a major fall from grace.

There's an attempt to connect the rather slovenly Mafia antics to Bush/Obama politics via audio clips, it might be that I can't hear them too well, but I'm having a hard time finding the relevance.

WUT? your reviewing the film without watching it to the end.

Its also not gandolfini's final role.

The film is about the lack of confidence in the low-level criminal underworld that is shown as an allegory for the financial meltdown caused by the banking industry, its basically alluding that in a probably subtle way that government is just another form of organised crime ;), and Slow pacing doesn't mean no pacing, i think the film is a breath of fresh air in the stale "gangster" film genre as its all been done to death, Gandolfini does have the best part and plays it to perfection.

the final scene is amazing.

Solomon Kane (2009)

Solomon Kane is a not a nice person. A particularly brutal privateer in the early seventeenth century, he is confronted by the Devil's Reaper, who informs him that his soul has been sold to the devil. Kane manages to fight off the Reaper and escape before he can be dragged to hell, and he swears off violence and strives to become a better person. However, a mysterious force is invading England, and when the daughter of the Puritan family he is traveling with is kidnapped, he promises to rescue her and fight any evil that stands in his way.

Well, this sure took its damn time getting released in the US. Fortunately, it was mostly worth the wait. James Purefoy is perfect as Kane, bringing physicality and raw charisma to the repentant warrior. The rest of the cast is also good, with special mention going to Pete Postlethwaite for being, well, himself. The action scenes are all solid, with some cool swordplay and horseback chases. There's also some good creature scenes, the best being the ghouls under the church.

Really, if the film has a stumbling block, it's the plot. It isn't bad, but it doesn't quite hang together as well as it could.The villain's plan is rather convoluted, to be honest:

Spoiler
Malachi goes through the trouble of putting together an army, conquering a a good portion of England, and kidnapping innocents purely to snag Kane's soul for Satan. Sounds like a lot of work for one soul.
[close]

Also, the finale is a bit out of step with the rest of the film, with a giant CGI demon stomping around. I would have preferred either the evil wizard Malachi play a larger role, or maybe have the Reaper return for the climactic battle.  Either of those would have been more satisfying than Balrog McStompy. Seriously, that guy didn't even do anything. Satan should get a refund.

Overall, though, it's a solid, entertaining film. The quote on the BR case says it "bears comparison with The Lord of the Rings trilogy." :laugh: It's not that good, but still worth checking out. I want that Africa set sequel that's been talked about.

The Great Gatsby (2013)

What worked for me:

Some of the visuals, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, costumes, a handful of scenes.

What didn't work for me:

Most of the visuals, Tobey Maguire :-X, many of the changes/additions were definitely not an improvement on the book, the terrible and out-of-place soundtrack (really, they couldn't find a composer to create an edgy '20s score?), the lack of tension.

The Great Gatsby (2013)

What worked for me:

Some of the visuals, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, costumes, a handful of scenes.

What didn't work for me:

Most of the visuals, Tobey Maguire :-X, many of the changes/additions were definitely not an improvement on the book, the terrible and out-of-place soundtrack (really, they couldn't find a composer to create an edgy '20s score?), the lack of tension.

Currently partway through Killing Them Softly, I don't think I'll continue as it's unspeakably boring. Hinges entirely on 'naturalistic' dialogue which is utterly devoid of flair, immersion, pacing or pertinence. The one bright spot has been James Gandolfini's final role, he shows up every other actor in the film - so much charisma and nuance of performance that his scenes almost make the film watchable.

But yeah, even then it's still 'almost'. The director's previous work, The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, is one of my very favourite films of all time, and you can see a bit of his scene-setting in the bleak, desolate world of modern New Orleans. But it's a major fall from grace.

There's an attempt to connect the rather slovenly Mafia antics to Bush/Obama politics via audio clips, it might be that I can't hear them too well, but I'm having a hard time finding the relevance.

WUT? your reviewing the film without watching it to the end.

Its also not gandolfini's final role.

The film is about the lack of confidence in the low-level criminal underworld that is shown as an allegory for the financial meltdown caused by the banking industry, its basically alluding that in a probably subtle way that government is just another form of organised crime ;), and Slow pacing doesn't mean no pacing, i think the film is a breath of fresh air in the stale "gangster" film genre as its all been done to death, Gandolfini does have the best part and plays it to perfection.

the final scene is amazing.

X-Men: The Last Stand

So after all this time of having this movie built up as not only a terrible X-Men movie but also a bad film in general, I don't think I could have gone in with lower expectations. And maybe that was for the best, because I genuinely liked it. A lot of the themes that I loved from the first two films were in full focus here, and presented in interesting ways that at times came across in very unexpected ways. I liked what they did with most of the characters (minus the fact that Cyclops only had five or so minutes of scree time; even in the first two movies I felt that he was criminally underused). I  guess my biggest problem with the movie was that there was too much content to explore to its fullest potential in a mere one hour and forty minutes. The Phoenix story and the mutant cure story both had enough weight that they could have been their own films. For what it was, though, I really liked The Last Stand and found it to be a worthy-enough conclusion to the first arc of X-Men films.

Some of the random generic mutants in Magneto's army had pretty lame powers, though :P

Glad to see you liked it, despite it tackling too much at once. All the different arcs call for a 3 hour conclusion, I think. But I still think this film balanced everything better than Spider-Man 3, which also suffered from taking on too much at once. I also found it to be a worthy conclusion to the original X-Men trilogy - it had an epic scale to it.

How would you rank all the X-Men films now that you've seen them all?
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 14, 2013, 04:56:48 PM
Now that I've seen them all, I think I'd probably rank them as follows:

• X-Men: First Class
• X2
• X-Men and The Wolverine tied, though for different reasons (I was genuinely surprised at how much I liked the later film)
• X-Men: The Last Stand
• X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I have yet to see The Wolverine but great ranking.

Mine would be:

X-Men 2
X-Men: First Class
X-Men & X-Men: The Last Stand

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (I think I'm going to pretend this film never happened in the future).

The Wolverine
X-Men: First Class/X-Men: The Last Stand
X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The opening scene to X-Men, with Erik in the camp, is still the best scene in the entire franchise, in my opinion.

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

A silent classic that still kicks all sorts of ass to this day. Lon Chaney is brilliant as the title character, bringing measures of both menace and pathos to the role. It's easily the most faithful adaptation of the original novel, and eats all other versions for breakfast. I wish they had kept the ending they originally filmed, though. f**king preview audiences.

I don't know how to properly word this. But it just felt like the classic hollywood ending. Yay everythings alright but some parts aren't addressed near the end. Whos the new president? Why does Max say he finally understands why the hippo did and tells whats her name (even though the kid tells him) It just felt like huge fight, sacrifice and everyone goes to Elysium or gets healed.Ending rather blankly and in your face. Again I may not have worded this right as its very late and I'm tired.

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

Sadly this wasn't nearly as good or as funny as the original film. It lacked the breath of fresh air that the first movie so pleasantly dispersed. With any sequel the stakes get higher, and we find Chris D'Amico trying to raise an army of super villains to kill Kick-Ass. A lot of the jokes fell flat and weren't funny at all. The side plot involving Hit-Girl in high-school felt out of place. Almost something that would be at home in a shitty Lindsay Lohan movie. Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars and Stripes was f**king awesome; sadly we don't get to see much of him. The movie also needed more John Leguizamo and Iain Glen too.

Elysium

Went in with my expectations lowered after reading all the negative feedback certain people round here were spitting after seeing a pre-release.

Yeah it had some cheese, but nothing that condemning, it also wasn't as preachy and "racist" as I was lead to believe by the same people, I payed my ticket just for the production design, man did I get my money's worth, I loved Kruger to bits, completely over the top with a weird unhinged nuance, i want to watch it again just for him and his crew, love the amount of world building, thought put into it and attention to detail, small things like the South African flag and the springbok on krugers shuttle, and all the product placement was applied tastefully.

Also enjoyed the very subtle homages to Aliens. and dat Syd Mead.

Flash backs were a little overdone, and I'd love to have seen Watkin Tudor Jones (ninja from Die Antwoord) as Max which Blomkamp had initially wanted cast instead of Matt Damon, as good as Matt was he doesn't quite have the edge the character probably could have used.

Also liked the soundtrack, amazing work for someone plucked off YouTube.

I'll be definitely getting this as a blueray, those weapon designs and Max's Nissan GTR amazing.

Can't wait to see it again.

Early 60s Japanese movie about a group of increasingly unlikable people who die and go to Hell.

In the Mouth of Madness is an overlooked gem.
It makes you feel sort of guilty for watching it cause every time the movie finishes, poor John Trent realizes he has done everything before and is about to do it all over again. I can unhesitatingly call it one of the smartest horror films ever made in terms of writing.
If you liked it, you best also check out Prince of Darkness to complete the apocalypse trilogy.

My dad and I enjoyed the shit out of this. We were just really in a great mood when we watched it, which is always a plus. Great cast was decent. Freeman and Eckhart could have used some more screen time, though. But, I'll always say that about them two. I thought Melissa Leo over acted to hell and back, which was odd cause she's usually a pretty decent actress.

Elysium

Really liked it. The visuals are amazing (everything looks freakin' solid and realistic), the soundtrack is surprisingly solid and the peformances range from okay to very good. I enjoyed the classic story told in an attractive way. It also feels very actual and leaves you with an "is this even gonna work?" feel at the end of the movie. Pretty much the only gripes I've with this are a few bits of shaky cam and the story relying a bit too much on casual events during a couple of parts in order to move the narrative forward.

8.5/10 - Close to District 9.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

Elysium - 6.5/10

This was a weird one for me... I thought it had a great first part. The world building looks spectacular, the characters are given room to breathe, but then a plot development drives our protagonist Max to find his way to Elysium above at any cost.

To me, it is with how Elysium is visualized and its inhabitants presented, the 'real' of the film falls completely apart. It's a total cliche - people living in white bricked villas with swimming pools, having barbecue evenings with their wealthy fellow Elysiums every night. Jodie Foster being evil (for no other reason than the plot needs someone evil doing... evil stuff) with that dodgy accent.

Sharlto Copley is the best thing in this, chewing scenery whenever he's on screen. I would be perfectly happy if the film decided to keep the plot revolving around Max and Kruger until the end and basically cut Jodie Foster and all the stuff that happens at Elysium out of the film altogether.

Another thing is the films premise about these wonderful med pods being available everywhere on Elysium (every time someone breaks into a private home - surprise - there's a med pod in every home) - but none seem to exist on Earth (which is probably where they are produced by the millions). That is just stupid and lazy screenwriting when you give it some thought... But then again, if there were med pods on Earth, then the plot of the second half of the film would collapse, so, let's pretend that the Earthlings for whatever reason don't have their own med pods...

A very promising start (I was really getting into it bigtime), but when the focus shifts to Elysium, it just falls on its ass to me...

She was protecting her children, and her lifestyle this was shown and spoken of, the film isn't about evil, it's about greed, also the accent was probably one of the better more realised parts of her character, considering she was essentially French, but interacting with the rest of the earths wealthy she clearly developed this hybrid transatlantic / European accent, William Fitchners was similarly interesting.

As for the med pods they're clearly banned on earth, a form of population control.

Protecting them against what? Her speech to the president made very little sense to me. What do the people on Elysium care about how people on Earth are living? In fact, if people on Earth had better lives, they wouldn't try to reach Elysium all the time illegally and the people living on Elysium would be better off. What do they care what people back on Earth are doing with their lives? People up there could essentially care less about that. Jodie Fosters character could care less.... but then the film would lose its plot, right?

As for the med pods, there's no reason given in the film why they only exist up there. As if the Chinese wouldn't copy the design and sell them by the thousands to everyone who wanted them on Earth anyway...

They show the state of earth, clearly there's a resource problem, not enough to go around. Elysium is essentially a walled community, the inhabitants of earth are the barbarians at the gate.

I think there's an old roman proverb that sums it up better "for me to survive, you must die"

The resource issue is the same for the medpods.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Eva on Aug 20, 2013, 08:11:26 PM
Capitalism has taught us that resources find their way to whoever wants to pay no matter who or where they are. It will be no different in 2154.

Btw, it would be easy for the angry Earthlings to just blow that thing away with nukes. Their security is shit as evident in the film. Spider and his guys can land anywhere they want and do whatever they want, completely unhindered. Kruger and his gang the same...
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Rong on Aug 20, 2013, 08:21:11 PM
By your own admission about capitalism you validate Elysium, because whoever wants to pay (or more importantly can) is up there, as I pointed out earlier the film is essentially about greed.

And I would say spider did it unhindered, the impression was that it was a new precedence that he even got a ship to land on Elysium.

As for Kruger he was an agent for Elysium so it makes sense he had unfettered access.

I don't buy the whole notion that everybody with wealth in some 140 years, takes off and lives on a space station. There are thousands of places on Earth where they can live perfectly unhindered now and I don't see that changing much in the near future. Again, to me the plot falls apart with how Elysium is portrayed in the film. Not much of it makes any sense to me, based on what the first half of the films tells me.

At the beginning of the film, they can monitor intruder ships and destroy them with ease. Anyone who manages to land, are monitored and caught by security forces in minutes. The film seems to completely forget these details when it is convenient for the plot to get Spider on board Elysium (no missile defense, no security forces) and Krugers 2 henchmen blowing away control stations completely unhindered, because the plot needs them to.

I dislike when films establish an internal logic and then breaks it or forgets it later on because it is convenient for moving the plot along... It tells me that the person who wrote the story, didn't expect me to pay attention when watching it unfold.

I went into the film totally aware it was a piece of fiction, and not a documentary. Elysium itself's architecture is based on West Beverly a real place.

also a quote from Neill

QuoteIf you could have made films 3000 years ago, you'd have been making films about that. Pharoahs, pyramids: that's all we've done since we've been animals, is try to dominate one another, and hoard money for ourselves or for our families.

It works in context to the film Kruger himself says to Max, " the air is cleaner its much nicer up there" as i noted earlier the world is in ruin, even Carlyle doesn't want to spend time down there.

Shit was going down when spider touched down he had cover, and Krueger's crew who work security, and would know the weaknesses in the system.

Pain and Gain

It's a good (and crazy) real story turned into a dark comedy filled with hilarious performances all over the place. You can tell everyone involved had a blast making this. It's fresh, nasty and witty. I'm glad Bay had this "break" before getting back into the TF franchise. Though it goes on for a bit too long and won't win over anyone who hates Bay's guts. I honestly think this is one of Bay's best.

I have no clue what you guys are on about, but speaking of curses, check out the story behind Heather O'Rourke both during and after she made these films. Some f**king weird shit went down on multiple occasions.

I've seen this happen with many movies though, and I bet you guys have too. Just horrible coincidences or luck surrounding certain actors/actresses, what have you. It's pretty sad.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 21, 2013, 05:24:36 PM
The story of the 'curse' is that the deaths surrounding the films are the result of using real human skeletons in the pool scene near the end of the film.

Its all coincidence, of course, but that's where it stems from.

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

While certainly not as good as the first one, it was still kind of enjoyable. Mindry trying to deal with the life of an "ordinary" teenage girl was a hit and miss. Some parts worked really well (like the scene in the woods), while others did not (the sick stick). Jim Carrey was fun as Colonel Stars and Stripes and I overall enjoyed the scenes with Justice Forever. The one who really stole the show though was Iain Glen as Uncle Jack. Christ, that guy sent creeps down my spine. I hope we get to see more of him in the sequel.

Do we really need a movie about Gerard Butler beating the shit out of terrorists and killing them in the most grisly ways possible? No, but he is badass to watch. Had Hugh Jackman not been Wolverine, I think Butler would have been great in the role. He has similar features and probably would look just as sexy.

Also Rick Yune is a nasty little c**t in this.

Elysium

Between Kruger, the robots, the aircraft, the action scenes, and the space station, I really enjoyed this film.

Script could've been stronger, and those flashbacks were unnecessary, but overall, I liked it.

Hot Fuzz

I love this movie. Simple as that. Even now, I still look fondly back upon my first time seeing it in theatres. The anticipation, the excitement, the unbelievable hype I was filled with. And then, the complete feeling of fulfillment once I'd finally viewed, the sensation of utter satisfaction, of every one of my expectations being met or exceeded.

That feeling hasn't died down at all, even after what has probably been at least a dozen viewings.

Everything about this movie damn-near touches upon perfection. Now, that may be a bit of a grandiose statement, but I truly believe it. It is just an all-around incredibly well put-together film. From the writing up, it is a work of genius. The script is slick, the directing is dynamite, the allusions are astounding, the editing is exemplary, the characters are the cat's meow, the performances are prime, the foreshadowing is fantastic... oh Christ, I can just go on and on and on. From Nicolas Angel entering the Metropolitan Police HQ, to Danny Butterman bringing the noise, it's 120 minutes of just plain cool.

I find it amazing just how much attention to detail was put into every single line of dialogue and frame of film. Even now, I'm noticing new things whenever I watch it; little pieces of foreshadowing, homages to other films, quick shots of side-plots and character building.

Godsdamnit, I gotta stop myself right now, or I'm gonna just go on through the night.

tl;dr I f**kING LOVE THIS MOVIE

Bring on The World's End!

I'm kinda numb-tongued about this right now, just sputtering words of love for it everywhere. I'll be basic, for now, but expect a full review later.

Okay, let's see:
Loved it, fetishistic, sensational, rewarding, perfect, beautiful, beautifully animated, beautifully acted, beautifully written, one of my favorite movies of all time, of absolute quality I strive toward in my own work, masterpiece.

I may be using only words to describe extremes, but I assure you, it's not hyperbole on my feelings. From beginning to end credits, it's the pinnacle of what I fantasize as being the perfect movie and story.

Yankee Doodle Dandy

Lol this move has blackface and a few other weird racial stereotypes (product of the times) but James Cagney is a pleasure to watch, like the way he delivers dialogue, and the framing of the story was particularly effective, enjoyed a lot more than I expected I would as I typically despise musicals.

Spoiler free review

Spoiler
Every now and then, I see a film that I find... difficult to properly articulate my feelings about. It's not that I have a poor and barren vocabulary. Words just seem to fail me.

This would be one of those times. It's not just that I'm a huge fan of the creators of the movie; it's not just that I love every member of the cast; it's not just that it's the final entry in my favourite comedy trilogy (and one of my favourite trilogies of all time). It's not just that. That is mere icing on top of the proverbial ice cream cake of the movie.

Okay, that is most of the ice cream too. But only the mint-flavoured layer! The vanilla and strawberry layers are the other two films...

Anyways, this is simply, and genuinely, one of the most entertaining two hours I have spent in quite some time. The infallible writing duo of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have created a very smart, always hilarious, oft-action packed, and occasionally heartwarming sonata to apocalyptic science-fiction, taking many cues from many films, mainly The Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. The acting pair of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg similarly breathe a genuine chemistry and camaraderie into their roles of estranged best friends Andy Knightley and Gary King, bolstered up by a simply stellar supporting cast; principally Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, and Paddy Considine. The characters are so well developed, and the performances behind them so fantastic, the entire movie could've been made about this group of five friends as they try to reconcile the people they've become with the memories that of their youth, trying to resolve deep personal issues going back decades.

However, the entire movie is not like that. Whilst visiting their hometown of Newton Haven in an attempt to finally finish the legendary Golden Mile pub crawl, bizarre circumstances get between these five friends and their 60 pints. Great fight scenes and plentiful cameos result.

Out of the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy, this is the least bloody and least ice creamy of the lot. That's not to say it feels like the odd one out, however. Far from it, this film is nicely at home amongst Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz; comedies (oft-mislabeled as parodies) lovingly looking up to films of the past, playing off of clichés and conventions of genres in order to make something touching and funny and special. Like the other two films, this one stands as a fine point in the genre it will undoubtedly be accused of mocking.

But mock it does not.

Christ, I could go on and on about the greatness of this film. The various bits of clever dialogue, the wonderful attention to detail in names and set dressing, the brilliant side characters and the actors who brought them to life, the seeming commentary on the real relationships of the five actors reflected in the five friends. Alas, as before, words are beginning to fail me, so all I shall say is this.

I love this movie.

And with that, the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy comes to a dark end.

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

It's probably one of the best fantasy films ever made, and Schwarzenegger gives one of his best performances as the taciturn barbarian thief. The rest of the cast is also pretty good, with a particularly memorable turn from James Earl Jones as the villain Thulsa Doom. The film is beautifully shot and the sets are incredibly detailed, lending a sense of reality and believability to the world of the Hyborian Age. The script is also quite good, and deftly handles a number of themes rather well. All of this is complemented by the beautiful score by Basil Poledouris, and it's easily one of the greatest scores ever put to film. It's more than earned its place as a fantasy classic.

10/10

P.S.: The blu-ray inexplicably leaves out the quiet moment between Conan and Subotai before the climactic battle. That's most unfortunate, as it's one of my favorite scenes and contains some of Schwarzenegger's best acting. :(

The World's End- 6/10

It has been just months since I stumbled onto the first two films. Hot Fuzz took me by complete surprise, and Shaun of the dead blew me away.

The World's End, not so much.

The first two films crafted the characters in a way that allowed the audience to invest themselves. Not so much in this one.

The humor was surprisingly hit and miss, and sometimes completely absent of the wit that made Hot Fuzz so charming. There seemed to be less of the humor, too. Which is fine, because the movie tried and succeeded in being smarter than the previous two.

The action was... also hit and miss.

With that combination I was actually bored at some points in the movie.

Strong performances and decent writing keeps this movie enjoyable overall, while the darker finale made it refreshing to an extent. But The World's End was certainly no Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the dead.

Harakiri (1962)

This was great. The story takes place between 1619 and 1630. A ronin appears at the home of the Iyi clan and ask for permission to use their courtyard to perform harakiri. A man at the household tells him a tale of another ronin who appeared and asked for the same thing. The ronin, Tsugumo Hanshirō, tells a tale of his own and that's pretty much all I'm going to say about the plot.

The acting was great and Tatsuya Nakadai was phenomenal in the lead role. The story is interesting and really makes you question your first impression of some of the characters in the second half of the movie. The whole movie is black and white, but really beautiful to look at. Definitely recommended.

10/10

The World's End (2013)

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have done it again. I positively, absolutely loved this the moment it started. The characters were wonderfully scripted and the banter between them was as usual superb. The jokes really hit home. Simon Pegg stole the show as deadbeat Gary King. Of course Nick Frost and the rest of the cast had their moments to shine. It was also cool seeing Pierce Brosnan show up too. Next to Timothy Dalton, that's two Bond actors to be featured in these movies (Bond fans perhaps?)... anyway 'twas a fun way to cap off the summer.

Now I am ready for a pint.

Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut (2005)

I liked the theatrical cut, but this is soooooooo much better it isn't funny. The new material adds depth and substance to the film, including some great extended village sequences at the beginning and a truly heartbreaking subplot involving Sybilla's son. This version gives more screen time to pretty much everyone, with Michael Sheen especially memorable as Balian's corrupt priest half-brother. Iain Glen still only gets about three lines, though. This version should have been released to theaters. The film would be held in higher regard if that were the case.

Quartet
A movie about a retirement home for old musicians, starring Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay, Maggie Smith and Pauline Collins (with Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) in there as well). The home puts on a benefit showcasing the residents' talent every year so as to raise money to keep it running. I won't go into anymore detail, because it's a simple plot, but it's a funny, charming, heartwarming film that I've seen several times since purchasing it two weeks ago.

Safety Not Guaranteed

Simple and beautiful indie movie which focuses on love, letting go of the past and enjoying the present. There's a small dose of sci-fi thrown in as well. It's also surprisingly funny. If we add this to Trevorrow's truly honest fanboy love for Jurassic Park, I think JP4 is in very capable hands as long as he knows how to handle the action. The characters in this short movie are really likeable. And that's something I want for JP4.

8/10

It's not exactly a great sequel to Pitch Black, but it's perfectly fine as a stand alone movie. The only real low points are Thandie Newton and (surprisingly) Karl Urban, who both overact the f**k out of their roles.

You're Next

I can see this splitting audiences (well, horror fans) right down the middle, because this isn't really the film that was advertised in its brilliant trailer (that made it look like the most harrowing slasher released in decades).

But if you like Fright Night, Scream or The Cabin in the Woods, then you'll probably like this too, since it's pretty much the same brand of self aware horredy that people tend to either just get along with, or find way too distracting.

And while some of the 'nudge nudge, wink wink' performances here can come across as somewhat jarring from time to time, I think the movie pulls its tone off for the most part.

That being said, even if you take away the tongue-in-cheek stuff, You're Next is still an expertly crafted home invasion slasher. It's frequently intense, with gallons of (practical!) blood being spilled, disturbingly realistic gore effects, boobs, Barbara Crampton, a bitchin' 80s synth score and the most badass female protagonist this genre's been blessed with for quite some time.

If not the outright best film of the summer, I thought it was by far the most entertaining.

But if you like Fright Night, Scream or The Cabin in the Woods, then you'll probably like this too, since it's pretty much the same brand of self aware horredy that people tend to either just get along with, or find way too distracting.

And while some of the 'nudge nudge, wink wink' performances here can come across as somewhat jarring from time to time, I think the movie pulls its tone off for the most part.

That being said, even if you take away the tongue-in-cheek stuff, You're Next is still an expertly crafted home invasion slasher. It's frequently intense, with gallons of (practical!) blood being spilled, disturbingly realistic gore effects, boobs, Barbara Crampton, a bitchin' 80s synth score and the most badass female protagonist this genre's been blessed with for quite some time.

If not the outright best film of the summer, I thought it was by far the most entertaining.

Hmm. I might actually go see this now, since Getaway is being raped by critics at the moment.

Only God Forgives

It isn't Drive, and I'm glad it wasn't. It's going to be a very under appreciated film though, I can already tell. It's extremely dense and very esoteric, so a lot of people are going to write it off as being too strange. I personally am going to need a second viewing at some point. I'm currently sitting at a 7/10.

You're Next (2013)

I thoroughly enjoyed this. It sort of tries a new spin on a tired formula. And what we get is a great lead character and some good ol' fashion blood n' guts. Now not many of the characters are fleshed out. They're mere cannon fodder really. I was almost surprised at a lot of the tongue and cheek moments sprinkled about in an otherwise serious horror film. I also f**king loved that 80s esque score that would pop up from time to time. In an age with constant CGI this felt like a nice little throwback to horror films of yesteryear.

Dat blender kill. :D

The Chronicles of Riddick

Well that was a strange experience. Strange in the sense that, while I was able to pick up on just about every problem that people have with the film, I didn't really find myself bothered by them. I actually really enjoyed the movie (for the record, I watched the director's cut, as I did with Pitch Black).

The biggest problem that I had with the movie was that it was a sequel to Pitch Black. I felt like there should have been something in between, something smaller in scale than this one that kind of segued from the isolated horror film that was the first movie into the galaxy-spanning space opera story of The Chronicles of Riddick. I have to say, though, that I surprisingly didn't find the jump too jarring and I really liked this take on the character and the world that he inhabits. The story was interesting, there were some very beautiful visuals (the sun-scorched prison planet comes to mind), and the supporting cast was a lot of fun as well, especially Karl Urban's Vaako and Nick Chinlund's Toombs (who reminded me of a more toned-down version of Kruger from Elysium).

Unfortunately, while the scale was increased so much from the first film, there was only one brief scene featuring non-humanoid alien creatures. At least the new film looks like it is going to make up for that.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1

While I find the graphic novel to be somewhat overrated, this movie was damn good. The animation, music, acting, writing, and fight scenes were all excellent. Most importantly, it actually works as a standalone piece. I still think the mutants are way too 80s and cheesy to take seriously, though. And shining the Bat Signal on a building is still stupid.

The Lords of Salem (2013)

What a bizarre f**king movie. They almost lost me when the deformed midget with the tentacle dicks showed up. Of course I was barely hanging on by that point. They pretty much did lose me when Sharon Moon Zombie gave birth to a squid baby. Time and time again I want to give Rob Zombie's movies a chance, and each f**king time he lets me down. It's just more of the same grotesque bullshit. At the end of it, I asked myself what was the point?

What good came out of this? Uh, let's see...Ken Foree played a pretty cool radio DJ!

I really liked this movie. The entire thing just made me happy, filled me with joy. It was funny, the songs were catchy, the dances were fantastic, the story was simple and silly and great. Particularly liked the movie-within-a-movie. Can't believe it's taken me so long to see this.

While I'm not sure if I'll be staying in my film studies class, I'm at least glad I got to watch this because of it.

Daredevil

Why I watched this, I'm not sure... I guess because of my excitement of Batffleck.  I've hated on this movie in the past for obvious reasons, but this time I really tried to find some good points from the movie, and I did, though not enough to redeem the film itself.  Let's get the negatives out of the way, Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrells performances, Bullseye's costume, Ben Afflecks hair, dodgy special effects, a decidedly emo soundtrack...

Positive points, Afflecks performance is good IMO, as both Murdoch and Daredevil, it's not his fault shitty writing and directing let him down, I liked the opening fight scene in the bar, John Favreau is in this movie, I liked the origin story and the relationship between him and his his father and the way it affected him as a hero, not wanting to be the bad guy even though he is jury and sometimes executioner as Daredevil, Michael Clarke Duncan was good as Kingpin, I liked the chemistry between Affleck and Garner and the support from the Priest.

That being said the movie still isn't great 5.5/10

I loved Daredevil. Nothing at all wrong with it as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think the "director's cut" is an improvement in any way though, I was annoyed the Bluray didn't include the theatrical cut.

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Vertigo on Sep 06, 2013, 07:49:08 AM
Just watched Wolf, from 1994 with Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and James Spader. It is a film about a man who turns into a wolf, and therefore is a tad silly (it's also very lenthy, at 2 hours, feeling rather longer). However, it's strangely watchable, as the story's played very earnestly and elevated by a trio of brilliant actors - Nicholson's very game for lupine antics even in his late '50s (he looks ten years older...), Pfeiffer's charismatic and expressive beneath a steely front, Spader is by turns incredibly charming and skin-crawlingly vile. It's a reminder of how strong performances can elevate any material to watchability.

There's something curiously slow about the pacing and delivery. It feels like something that might have been made in the '70s, when populism took a backseat to directorial indulgence.
Anyway, worth the watch.

Okay, I've seen 4 movies for the first time in the last few days:

Super (8/10) - Fun and brutal ride written and directed by James Gunn. It may share similarities with Kick-Ass, but it's a much smaller (and personal) film. And it's not just shallow entertainment.

Stoker (6.5/10) - The cinematography and editing are stunning. The acting is pretty f**king good... So what's the problem? A somewhat convoluted and overly complex take on the basic premise of a f**ked up family. The film tries too hard to make the script look smarter than it actually is. Park Chan-wook's korean works are way better.

Kick-Ass 2 (7/10) - Actually better than I expected. The trailers weren't inspiring at all. It's more violent and nastier than the first one. The downside is that Vaughn is much better than Wadlow at both directing and editing. The original has more charm.

Riddick (8/10) - The long-awaited third entry in the franchise does not disappoint. It's brutal and just plain good ol' bloody fun. And it's perfectly linked to the other two films. Diesel hasn't lost his enormous presence as our favorite furyan.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

Riddick (2013)

This was pretty decent I thought. The film is much smaller in scale this time around, as opposed to the universe building that was going on in Chronicles. It pretty much goes back to basics. Riddick is marooned on a backwater planet; he activates a distress beacon which then brings down two groups of mercenaries that want his head. Those of you looking for Karl Urban to show up will be sorely disappointed. He amounts to literally five minutes of screen time.

As for the mercenaries, most of them are faceless clichés. But it was fun to watch Jordi Mollà ham it up to all hell. He had some of the best lines too. I really liked Matt Nable as Johns (Yes without giving too much away, that's his name...) he became a favorite character of mine throughout the movie. Katee Sackhoff was good too. She kicks Santana's ass a few times.

A large improvement over The Chronicles of Riddick, but it doesn't quite reach the level of Pitch Black.

I must echo the sentiments of Scarhunter and First Blood. This is B-Movie filmmaking at its absolute finest. An unadulterated orgy of extreme violence, middling CGI, cheesy dialogue and wanton misogyny; all set against a perpetual backdrop of awkward green screen vistas.

I get what they were going at its a massive dig at the stupidity of the male ego, and I didn't think they were all that subtle about it, the weakness lies in the characters, none of them are particularly likeable, Peggs "Garry King" being downright loathsome (that's kinda the point) not sure if I could do another sitting.

Well that kind of sucked. There's a few good scenes here and there, but the rest of it is just blah. Tom Noonan was pretty much wasted, and the script was disjointed as f**k. It's almost entirely dependent on most of the people at OCP being seriously goddamn stupid. It also has one of the most blatant attempts at audience manipulation I've ever seen. I expected better from Irvin Kershner and pre-crazy Frank Miller.

Cloud Atlas

Everytime I watch this masterpeice I get tears. It just resonates with me so much in parts I cant help but feel a wave of emotions. Its like they have perfectly captured the feeling of loss,hope and love on film like no other before it. And with the aid of some monologues...perfection.

Couldn't agree more. I've really gotta give it another watch.

Do the right thing

Seen it in the 90s as a kid,

Interesting to watch it again older, and in HD can see the signature spike shots, and I like the ambiguity of "mooks" actions towards the end, I still after all this time air on the side that he saved Sal's arse.



cloud atlas was ambitious but still a little flawed I can see the good in it, but can totally understand people's criticisms of it.

The Terminator
Terminator 2, Judgment Day
These two films compliment each other in a great way. I was growing critical of T2, but find that if you watch them back to back, it works very well. Though in terms of a personal favorite, T1 still wins for me.
10/10 for both.

While I do like it (Not as much as the original) there is a few things I don't like.
Spoiler
1. Nancy isn't as strong as the original and more social awkward.
2. Freedy looks a little too much like a scarecrow than a burnt victim boogieman.
3. They should have kept the alternate ending.
4. It was to easy to spot whether they were in a dream or reality.
Other than that it was good.

If you want a cheap way to get both of them, your local movie store or walmart or whatever should have a double feature that has both of them for like. $10. Well it was 10 when I got it YEARS ago.

Well, Paprika had one prolonged scene of uncertainty, but I'd say everything else was pretty straight forward from what I can remember. Inception's end is never even answered directly. While everything else prior is straight forward because it comes with a reveal.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

A fantastic sequel and a fantastic entry in the Star Trek mythos.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

You couldn't give Pete Postlethwaite a better introduction. He pulls away the netting and proceeds to make Arliss Howard his bitch. f**king great piece of writing that scene was. He'll be missed.

Dark Angel (1990)

Fun little sci-fi action film starring Dolph.

Law Abiding Citizen

Tough one this one, firstly it's probably Gerard Butler's best performance so far, it's just a tough movie to watch because the protagonist is so skewed throughout the movie, Jamie Foxx's character is thoroughly unlikeable though there are brief flashes where his character does try to justify his actions that lead to killers not receiving the sentences they deserve.  Butler's character is a grieving father and husband, but his retribution slowly turns his character from vengeful father to monster.  Overall I enjoyed the movie, good performances, solid script, but the lines between good and evil are very blurred, an interesting idea but at the same time it makes it tough to empathise with the people on screen

7/10

An okay sequel to a pretty good film. It has some good scenes and a few good scares, but ultimately feels more like the film equivalent of an expansion pack than an actual sequel. I also missed Darth Maul. :(

Me, my dad, and my little brother loved it. Benedict Cumberbatch was fantastic as the main villain. He needs to play more. I also really liked what they did with the timeline thing, for those who've watched it, you know what I'm talking about. Really wish I could have caught it in theaters, but I'm definitely going to pick this up on Blu-Ray as soon as I get a bit of coin put together....aka mid next year.

Yeah, Benedict really stole the film IMO.

Also really liked the way they handled Kirks death, the chase scene and fight scene between Spock and Khan was awesome. It's funny because Khan says to Spock "You can't even break a rule, how can you be expected to break bone?" then Spock snaps his arm later :P

Also Karl Urbans character Bones is majorly underused IMO.

I also really liked what they did with the timeline thing, for those who've watched it, you know what I'm talking about. Really wish I could have caught it in theaters, but I'm definitely going to pick this up on Blu-Ray as soon as I get a bit of coin put together....aka mid next year.

9/10

Yeah, Benedict really stole the film IMO.

Spoiler
Also really liked the way they handled Kirks death, the chase scene and fight scene between Spock and Khan was awesome. It's funny because Khan says to Spock "You can't even break a rule, how can you be expected to break bone?" then Spock snaps his arm later :P
[close]

Also Karl Urbans character Bones is majorly underused IMO.

:laugh: Nice! I didn't even think of that when it happened. Just adds a little bit more awesome to it.

I agree. I think a lot of the crew got underused in this one. Chekov hardly got any screen time. But, if I had to trade them for Benedict, I'd do it any day.

A pretty awesome revenge/vigilante film from director James Wan. Kevin Bacon and John Goodman are both pretty badass in it.

Kick-Ass (2010)

That scene where Hit Girl attempts to rescue Big Daddy and Kick-Ass is enough of a reason to watch this. The first time I saw it, I got chills. And I still get chills seeing it again. It's fits in with the comic-book/video game style of the film but carries a lot of emotional weight. The score during that scene just elevates it to a whole new level.

It's difficult to categorise this film but it works on many levels and has a lot of charm, despite its crude factor. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the sequel.

Prepare for more cash grabs, because Mark Millar's comics, thanks to his new company, will end up becoming films sooner or later (that's his goal). Kick-Ass 3 is coming.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

Love, love, love this one. It's fantastically filmed and acted, with a great sense of atmosphere. My only real issues are a bit of clunky exposition and leaving out the backstory for the Marauder's Map, which creates a small plot hole or two in places.

The time travel bit is really well done, and the werewolf was pretty awesome.

MATANGO! aka Attack of the Mushroom People.

by Ishiro Honda, (director of the original Godzilla).

Basically:

A group of folks on a damaged yacht find themselves on a lost uninhabited island.. without much to eat but a giant, previously unknown species of mushrooms (that may or may not be edible).. A seemingly old shipwrecked boat hints at the mysterious fate of previous castaways: The ship is full of mould and mushrooms, All the mirrors were removed... nor is there any sign of dead bodies....

Quite liked it. Very creepy scenes and effective tension in places. A bit silly sometimes.. but this is a 60's scifi flick.. so just roll with it. The characters are quite surprising.. dont trust anyone. ;)

Lesson learned: Dont eat Shrooms! :laugh:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Yet another superlative entry in the series, and a fine adaptation, to boot. Daniel Radcliffe really comes into his own in this one, and his scenes with Michael Gambon are great. Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to him in the role, but I find myself greatly preferring Gambon to Harris. There's also two more reasons that make this movie awesome:

1) Brendan Gleeson

2) Viktor "turns into a motherf**king shark" Krum


Oh, and there's also David Tennant in a small but fun role.  8)

Well yes, the costumes are not all that great. 60s TOHO. Only real great SFX stuff from them came in the late 80s. The Matangos ain't no Creature from the Black Lagoon, that's for sure.

Highly f**king enjoyable. A complete break in the formula from your typical DBZ, no more of that "Oh look, there's a bad guy, he's too strong, we must train and then beat him!" That shit is gone, now we're back with the unpredictable nature from Dragonball enter the DBZ world. Don't expect an action packed film, instead be expecting to see the humor and soul take center stage and bring you back to the show that I'm sure many of you loved. This felt completely refreshing, and I'm f**king glad I managed to see it. If you're worried about the action, don't be. You get some of it in the beginning of the film to set you up on what's gonna happen. By the end, you'll have not only a great fight scene, but one that doesn't drag on for more than it should. This felt like something brand new, and I do hope that this is just the start of more to come.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

This was far and away my least favorite of the books, but I find the movie to be pretty good. It does a good job of paring the tedious, overlong sections of the book, namely the endless passages devoted to Umbridge, into a manageable film. Hooray for montages! Imelda Staunton also makes Umbridge into a very fun character to watch with a brilliant performance. Also, the absolutely insufferable characterization of Cho Chang from the book and her failed relationship with Harry is jettisoned and reworked into something far more palatable.

My only real complaint is that it's a little too short, ironic given that I thought the opposite of the book. I would have liked maybe ten five more minutes with Dumbledore going into more detail about the prophecy. That was one of my favorite parts of the book, especially the bit about how the prophecy and Voldemort's choices complemented each other. It's a shame to see that go, really. That being said, it's still a fine film that I find to be an improvement over the book in many ways.

If you either A) don't know the actual story or B) don't read it afterwards or C) don't care, it's a really neat medieval version of Seven Samurai with some good old-fashioned prosthetic hack-n-slash action with one of the best soundtracks in recent years.

After being cut down by Obi-Wan Kenobi during the climactic events of The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul is sent through time and space into an alternate dimension, the Further, where he becomes ruler of a group of beings who have become one with the Dark Side of the Force. Seeking to transfer his essence from the Further back into the real world in order to finally enact his revenge, Maul (now equipped with demonic hoofed legs in place of the ones that Kenobi had taken from him) and his minions begin to haunt Dalton Lambert, a Force-sensitive boy with the power to leave his body and freely roam the Netherworld of the Force who may very well be the key unlocking the door to the real world that Darth Maul is looking for.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

A definite slow burner that feels very bleak and hopeless, but in a good way. Also, it has an impromptu dance scene, a cameo from the always awesome Peter Mullan, and Dobby being a badass. Can't wait to watch Part 2, which I haven't seen yet.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about this one. It's a great sendoff to the series and characters, and just plain rocks from beginning to end. It's easily among the very best of the series, right up there with Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince. Hats off to David Yates for doing so damn well, and kudos to the rest of the creative team for being awesome throughout this whole endeavor.

Ranking the films is hard for me to do, but I'll give it a shot:

Spoiler

Half-Blood Prince

Prisoner of Azkaban

Deathly Hallows Part 2

Goblet of Fire

Deathly Hallows Part 1

Chamber of Secrets

Sorcerer's Stone

Order of the Phoenix
[close]

I really enjoy them all, though. There's not a genuinely bad film in the bunch.

I thought Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire were poor (the former being a huge disappointment for me back in the day, as it was my favourite of the book series at the time). I love David Yates' directorial style though, he did a lot to elevate the later movies.

Fantastic blend of the abilities of Pegg/Frost and Seth Rogen, wonderful cast, brilliant in jokes and nods to other sci fi films including Aliens, one of the best comedy/sci fi I've seen since Galaxy Quest

Byzantium

There is a moody, raw elegance to this film that I love. It's beautifully shot and boasts an equally impressive score but, in many ways, Byzantium falls flat.

Saoirse Ronan delivers a solid performance (even though I found her character really annoying) and Gemma Arterton... is beautiful. But her acting is not nearly as mesmerising. The film started out promising and felt very intriguing and I got this sense that it was building up to something fantastic. But the second half of the film stagnates and ends with a run-of-the-mill Hollywood ending that almost feels like a slap in the face to the first half of the film.

As a vampire film, it is one of the better ones. There is gore but it's never overdone and the vampires feel closer to the classic incarnations. But beyond that, the struggle of one of the characters to remain silent about who she really is feels tacky and poorly executed.

Spoiler
Oh, woe is me. Let me write down my story and throw it to the wind. Because that will help. Hmmm, but I don't just want someone to possibly suspect something. Let me tell everything to this guy I really like... what's the worst that could happen? It's not like he will share my story with others. Okay, so maybe mum will be mad and our lives will be in danger but YOLO! Plus I really like this guy and want to be with him forever and ever. <3 <3 <3
[close]

Spoiler
Women can't be vampires!!! We won't go into that much, lulz. But they just can't, okay coz it's a brotherhood.
[close]

Spoiler
One of the better things about the film is the different ways in which the two women feed on people. They each had a different approach. And there were a few character moments that really worked well.
[close]

Disappointing but the beautiful visuals, the fantastic score and the moments that did work make me want to give this a 6/10.

Meh. None of the fear, peril and heroism of the book, and full of terrible acting - primarily from the kids. I don't hate it as much now as I did at the time, but I remember thinking it was one of the worst films I'd ever seen. I've seen a lot more films since then...

I'll grant it that the basilisk is pretty well done, and the imagery of the chamber itself is pretty cool. And I'll also concede that it's been a long time since I last saw it. But I don't think Columbus was the right fit as director. Kind of feel the first film succeeded despite him, actually.

A Good Day to Die Hard

You know... if you spray painted Jai Courtney black (bear with me) and maybe stuck a few cigarettes in Bruce Willis' mouth... then this could almost be a distant, tragically retarded sequel to The Last Boy Scout.

That's what this felt like to me. It isn't quite the unwatchable travesty I'd expected (in fact it's kinda f**king hilarious), but it's not Die Hard either.

World War Z (2013)

This was moderately decent. The suspense was there, but other than that the film had nothing to offer. Brad Pitt was okay. He really didn't have much to work with in terms of his character. He looks like Rambo-Jesus carrying an assault rifle. To me the film felt incomplete. I was expecting more after the W.H.O. Facility sequence. They set up these plot points but never follow through with them, like patient zero and his journey to India. The scenes in Jerusalem were great though.

I still quite enjoy that one, but I'll agree about the performances, at least in part. Columbus isn't much of an actor's director, and Tom Felton in particular got hit hard by that. Luckily for him, he got much better and delivered a knockout performance in HBP.

I can agree with that completely with some of the classes I've previously taken. If I stick with it as my major there are more lecture classes similar to those that I'm going to need to take, but at least for now I managed to get out of those for a while and into one of the more hands on classes.

Not at all, in my case at least. So far we've been doing a bit of reading with some poems and short stories and analyzing them for content (be it imagery, character, voice, dialogue, etc.). And then we've been taking what we discussed and using it in our own writing prompts.

First major assignment was imagery-based. Next one is going to be a lot of fun; I have to eavesdrop a bit on some random people and write a story or conversation piece that captures their particular voices.

The Mummy Returns (2001)

It's a very fun movie, if not quite as good as the first. It definitely feels more than a tad rushed, especially the effects. They're almost Asylum level quality at times. The script could have used some work, too. I still have next to no idea who the bad guys actually are in this. One works at the British Museum, one's Mr. Eko, and they all wear the same exact uniforms as the baddies from The Scorpion King. That's about it.

As far as positives go, both Vosloo and Fehr are pretty awesome as usual. it's a shame their careers never really went anywhere. Fehr is so much better than those lousy RE sequels. Everyone else is in top form, too, and the kid isn't too annoying at any one time to really be a problem. The Rock is cool, for what little screen time he's given. It's too bad he gets replaced with CGI for the finale, but at least he got a spinoff movie all to himself to make up for that. Oh, and did I mention the chick fights? Yup, this movie has them.  8)

BTW, did anyone else read the junior novels that tied into this? I remember them being alright. The first had the Scorpion King teaming up with the Nazis.  :D

The Scorpion King (2002)

A pretty decent sword and sorcery spinoff for the Mummy movies. I'll admit, a lot of it is pretty crap, but I let it coast by on the nostalgia I feel for it.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)

Well, that sucked. The characters were all pretty annoying, the effects were really subpar, the comedy was terrible, along with some terrible acting and the total waste of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. The middle act is pretty much the worst Uncharted 2 movie possible.

There's really only three high points:

1) The yetis kicking a field goal, which is so audaciously stupid that it's kind of awesome.

2) Michelle Yeoh catching Jet Li's sword with her bare hands. The fight as a whole was way too short and pretty disappointing, though.

3) The "mummies were discovered in Peru" bit at the end. That was the one funny joke in the movie.

I mean, seriously. This is the movie that has Jet Li turn into Ghidorah and something out of Where the Wild Things Are instead of having him actually do martial arts.

Braveheart - Always watch the night after the Highland games as a reminder of my Scottish heritage. While the story itself is dicey to what really happened, the acting, scenes and battlescenes are top grade. The torture scene near the end still makes me cringe; I mean just one thing of what he went through is enough to break a man. A historic movie with deserving awards to go with it, this movie is one of the greatest. 10/10

Saw Riddick last night.

I thought this was quite fun. I found it to be an improvement over The Chronicles of Riddick (which I also thought was a fun movie), but not quire up there with Pitch Black. Riddick had a ton of cool ideas, and delivered on most of them. Seeing Riddick alone on the planet for a while was was pretty badass, and I loved seeing the clashing groups of mercs at each others' throats. On the topic of the mercs, I thought Dave Bautista's character was the most interesting, so I'm looking forward to seeing him as Drax the Destroyer next year in Guardians of the Galaxy. I was really disappointed, however, that all Katee Sackhoff ever had a chance to do in the film was stand around and look tough; she is an extremely talented actress, and deserved a part with a bit more weight to it than what she got here.

The movie was also kind of choppy, especially in the way it sets up its three main segments. The beginning was cool, but when the mercs arrive it seems to lose focus for a few minutes (though it quickly finds it again), and the final act just kind of abrutply happens. It is very reminiscent of Pitch Black's finale, but it lacks the build-up that the original film had. That being said, it was all kinds of awesome to watch play out. The aliens in this movie were great, and seeing the threat that they posed to both Riddick and the mercs made for some pretty intense battle scenes. And we all know how much I love rain! :D

Overall, Riddick was a very fun modern day B-movie that definitely had its heart in the right place. While it never amounts to anything more than what it was expected to be, Riddick should be a very fun ride for people familiar with the character and the franchise who are looking for a more dialed-back and brutal take on the Riddick character. I'm glad that it found success in its theatrical run so far, and I look forward to hopefully seeing a sequel that delves a bit more into The Chronicles of Riddick's mythology in the future.

Oh, one last thing. The box scene in this movie (if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about) may be even better than the teacup scene from the previous film! 8)

The Conjuring

Nice actors in this, some nice jump scares... but gawd damn was that weak and cringe worthy at times. :P

Dont even remember anything from the soundtrack other than some very silly sounding "spooky music".

The real story behind the house is more fascinating than what appeared in the film as well:

QuoteEight generations of families lived and died in the house before the Perrons moved in. Andrea Perron suggests that some of the spirits from the families never left. Deaths include two documented suicides, a poisoning death, the rape and murder of an 11-year old girl, two drownings, and the passing of four men who froze to death. Most deaths occurred within the Arnold family from which Bathsheba Sherman was descended.

The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (2012)

Maybe the last movie just set my expectations at rock bottom, but I found this one to be surprisingly enjoyable, in a cheesy/stupid sort of way. Victor Webster, while no Dwayne Johnson (and not a particularly good actor), is way better than that teen douche from the prequel. The action scenes are also pretty decent for the most part, even if the armies in the battle scenes are hilariously tiny. Billy Zane is epically hammy as the villain Talus, and Temuera Morrison is no slouch as Ramusan. That being said, the script is pretty bad, the plot is overly convoluted, and Ron Perlman is wasted on a nothing part. Like I said, it's not a good movie, but has a certain enjoyability factor to it.

El Fantástico Mundo De Juan Orol (The Fantastic World Of Juan Orol)

A 2012 Mexican film documenting the life of B-movie director Juan Orol. While I admit to not being familiar with Orol's life or work prior to this, I found that the film was indeed fantastic. It was one of the coolest movies I've seen in quite a while, actually. The way it portrays movies reflecting the era they come from (and vice versa) in a visual way was spectacular.

Rush (2013)

I really enjoyed this. Now I don't know much about Formula 1 racing but goddamn this was a great movie. The film chronicles the intense rivalry between drivers Jack Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) during the 70s. The movie does a brilliant job balancing both characters. Each has their flaws and less than appealing qualities. So you're not so sure, for whom you want to win; Hunt, the party boy with the good looks or Lauda, the egotistical straight arrow. I never felt there was a dull moment. While the movie is long, it moves at a fast (pardon the lame pun...) pace. Each race is beautifully shot and exciting to watch. There's a fine layer of grain present in the film. Almost as if Howard wanted it to feel like it was made during the time. Also present is a fantastic soundtrack that pulls 70s hits from that era of music.

Slightly aged '90s soundtrack aside, this film was fantastic. Can't believe it took me this long to see it, what with my love of Westerns. Brilliantly written and acted, I enjoyed every last minute. As Eastwood's goodbye to the genre, it was beautiful and poignant.

Surprisingly good. It feels totally different from any of the previous Chucky movies. Not as funny as some of the previous ones, but they weren't going for funny this time around. Fiona Dourif was great and I liked that her character was a paraplegic. It's something different from the usual heroine and it worked well given the scenarios she was put in.

Still not great, but the Mandarin twist doesn't bother me as much anymore (though I still wish they would have kept it more in line with what they showed us in the trailers). The action is great and the script is pretty solid, even though it can be a bit too much Shane Black for me from time to time.

6.5/10

Star Trek Into Darkness

I loved the f**k out of this, and regret so much not being able to see it in a cinema. Like its predecessor it does feel different from previous Trek films, but that is by no means a bad thing. Very powerful ride. Also loved the original theme playing at the end.


And f**k it Cumberbatch is a beast as Khan. Machiavellian, ruthless and ravaging. Awesome. I cannot wait to hear how he impersonates Smaug.

Fantastic Planet (1973)

What it's about: In the future, mankind has been captured by gigantic blue alien creatures and brought to their homeworld to serve as pets. The film is about the life of one pet that decides to escape...

And it was fairly cool! :) The artwork is stunning. The ending was too sudden, though and the plot and characterization was simply "alright".. but this film isnt aiming for a highly complicated plot or to be a character study... it aims at being inventive and unsettling at every moment and in that area it's a resounding success. I have a feeling people will interpret it wildy differently... I've seen people say it's a metaphor for how we humans treat our pets, for racism, for class differences, for slavery etc.....

The trailer is pretty damn shit but dont let that dissuade you... It's not a film for everyone, of course.. but if you are feeling a bit adventurous.. it's worth a watch.

The Last Stand

I can enjoy bad movies. They don't even have to be so bad they're good; they just have to have enough going for them to ignore how bad they are. But what I can't stand is okay movies that could have been good. There's a really nice set-up for a movie here, but the payoff is as limp as limpwristed as they come. There's no tension, no excitement; some people stand at opposite ends of a street and fire bullets until everyone at one end is dead. We get all this setup about how badass and threatening the villains are, but when push comes to shove they seem as effective and intimidating as a slightly aggravated chihuahua.

Also what in the hell happened to Arnie one-liners, seriously. They can't be that hard to write.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Really, really pretty, but increasingly stupid. Wrath of Khan works because it's a simple story really well told; this falls short because it wants so desperately to be cool and clever, but simply doesn't have it in it.

The Fifth Element

A few dodgy effects aside, this has held up really, really well. I'd say "Why don't they make them like this any more?", but to be honest, they never really did; it's typical sci-fi action fare blended with the sort of quirky sci-fi pulp Ray Bradbury spent a long time playing in with his short stories. "Evil mysterious alien planet makes a phone call" seems exactly like the sort of thing I'd be incredibly surprised to find wasn't done as a comic or short story decades previously.

Also dat score.

Byzantium

First 50 minutes. Couldn't stomach the thought of watching the last hour when there was The Fifth Element to be watched, so I bailed. I'd really like a choice in my vampire movies beyond "Paranormal romance" and "Morose character drama".

Cough Cough

Moebius and Jodorowsky's "The Incal" was the likely main influence behind the Fifth Element. It also has a "Metal Hurlant" magazine vibe. :P Moebius worked on the film as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Jodorowsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Jodorowsky)
QuoteMœbius and Jodorowsky sued Luc Besson, director of The Fifth Element, claiming that the 1997 film borrowed graphic and story elements from The Incal, but lost their case.[45] The suit was plagued by ambiguity since Mœbius himself had willingly participated in the creation of the film, having been hired by Besson as a contributing artist, but had done so without gaining the approval of Incal co-creator Jodorowsky, whose services Besson did not call upon. For over a decade, Jodorowsky pressured his publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés to sue Luc Besson for plagiarism, but the publisher refused, fearing the inevitability of the final outcome. In a 2002 interview with the Danish comic book magazine Strip!, Jodorowsky actually claimed that he considered it an honour that somebody stole his ideas.

The comics are well worth a read and they were heavily influenced by Jodorowsky's surreal visions of his failed adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. He met Moebius while working on that project. Incal, Fifth Element, Alien... The failed Dune adaptation sure influenced a ton of stuff... :P

Had a bit of a Bela Lugosi double feature tonight. 8)

Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)

Lugosi's Dr. Mirakle kidnaps and experiments on women in order to prove his theory that man is descended from apes, killing them in the process before dumping them in the Seine. The seemingly drowned bodies catch the attention of med student Pierre Dupin, who begins his own investigation of the deaths. It's quite an eerie and atmospheric film, with some rather creepy scenes and a fun turn from Lugosi, but the lame comic relief and meh hero dampen the experience a bit.


The Black Cat (1934)

A young American couple are caught up in a storm and stranded at the mansion of an eccentric architect named Hjalmar Poelzig, where they get caught up in a decades old conflict between their host and Dr. Vitus Werdegast, who is seeking revenge against the man who wronged him long ago. This is one twisted, demented movie given the time it was released, with some rather nasty material getting way more explicit coverage than one would expect. Karloff and Lugosi are brilliant as Poelzig and Werdegast respectively, each bringing the right amount of intensity and madness to their roles. The only downsides to the film are some of the scenes with the couple, which come off as too comedic, and some of the music being wildly inappropriate given the situation.

Silly, enjoyable fun. You can see the actors had a great time making this film.. and that makes up for a lot of the script's deficiencies...Blink and you'll miss Roger Moore giving Yaphet Kotto a huge grin during a split second scene in their last fight.

Despite the problematic racial overtones of the film - it's basically 007 FIGHTS BLACK PEOPLE: THE MOVIE - the racist redneck cops get the shortest end of the stick.. everyone else is extravagant, yes.. but good god, does this film have the dumbest white redneck cops in history.  :laugh:

Baron Samedi had the greatest bond-villain laugh. Yaphet rocks his role as Mr. Big/ Dr. Kananga despite it being poorly written...

Great opening tune.. but the rest of the soundtrack is just... ok... John Barry skipped this one and is sorely missed throughout.. as the score here is very very generic.

The Raven (1935)

The brilliant surgeon Dr. Vollin is called on to save the life of the beautiful Jean Thatcher, and he develops an infatuation for her. Her father, Judge Thatcher, tells Vollin to leave Jean alone, and the love mad Vollin plans his vengeance. Enter Edmond Bateman, escaped convict and murderer who wants Vollin to change his face. Vollin instead disfigures him and blackmails Bateman into helping him with his revenge in return for fixing his face. Vollin then puts his plan into motion, inviting the Thatchers and several other guests over for partying, gambling, and some Poe inspired torture. Another very good Universal horror, with great performances from Lugosi and Karloff, playing Vollin and Bateman respectively. The other actors are very much lesser presences than the two horror icons, but they do fine jobs with what they're given.

Iron Man 3

I thought it was a lot better on second viewing. The Mandarin thing actually didn't bother me at all this time. I just wish that Rhodey had a bit more to do in the middle of the film. I loved seeing Tony getting caught in all of these situations without direct access to his suit, though. That was a lot of fun.

Violet & Daisy (2011)

This movie has been in distribution hell for the past two years and, while it may be difficult to find a specific target audience for the film, it didn't deserve to be kept in the dark for so long.

James Gandolfini gives a performance that serves as the heart of this film. Alexis Bledel and Saoirse Ronan are wonderful too as the young assassins on a job that feels quite different to their past jobs. These three make the film truly mesmerizing. At the core of this artsy-action-dramedy is a character study.

The only bad thing I have to say about the film is that Iris doesn't get nearly as much screen time as she needs/deserves.

At times, Violet & Daisy feels like a Tarantino film. But it has its own charm. With its beautiful cinematography, charming soundtrack, solid script and fantastic performances, it's a film worth revisiting.

8/10

Easily one of the best Elm Street sequels, it expands the mythology well and has a great young cast. The dreams are particularly cool in this one, and it was nice seeing Nancy and her dad again. Some of the dream powers were pretty dumb, though. Wizard Master and Goth Chick lmao.

Gravity

Holy f**king shit that was terrifying. My stomach was twisted in a huge knot the entire time.

The visuals were absolutely stunning, and it felt like the script never missed a beat. Everything was so perfectly paced and pieced together in a beautiful (and terrifying...did I mention terrifying?) way. My heart was up in my throat more times than I can count. Even the characters were really good. No, they weren't the most original characters ever, but I thought that they worked perfectly for the story being told and I really felt for them with everything that they went though. Bullock and Clooney definitely won me over with their parts.

I'm sure that the ending is going to get some mixed responses. It is definitely a love it/hate it thing, and I don't really see there being any middle ground. I personally fell in the 'loved it' camp, but I definitely respect the opinions of those who feel otherwise.

MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT THE ENDING:

Spoiler
I'm going to say terrifying again, but it is completely true. Even the ending was f**king terrifying. Suffocation and drowning are some of my biggest (slightly irrational) fears, and the ending of this film took that fear and (quite literally) dragged it down to Earth.

I feel like the final moment with Ryan triumphantly walking on the shore was very much deserved. With all of the hell that Ryan had to endure during the movie's (surprisingly brief) runtime, I actually found the final shot to be a huge relief. I was fully expecting them to kill her off, and as I was struggling to mentally prepare myself for it she managed to swim up.

Also, many props to the earlier where she hallucinates and sees Matt. That was very, very well done. Bullock really sold it in that scene, and the whole instance made what was already a bleak film seem completely void of happiness, and then managed to twist it into something hopeful.
[close]

In short, I loved Gravity. I absolutely loved it. And it scared the living hell out of me. It comes with my highest recommendations.

Also, 'dat beautiful 10+ minute opening shot... :o

Very different films and hard to compare them, but I think Gravity was a better film overall. Like I said, though, really hard to compare them just because they deal with different content presented in drastically different ways.

That being said, Star Trek Into Darkness was fantastic in its own way and was definitely the best 'blockbuster' type film of the year (STID certainly transcended the stereotypical 'blockbuster' connotations and was quite the emotional ride as well).

The thing with the Mandarin being an actor...what the f**k. But, then it turned out Killian was Mandarin, which is OK, I guess, but far off from what he is in the comics. Tony Stark really isn't Iron Man anymore... just a guy who builds all the AI or self controlled suits from far away. I mean, 90% of the time a suit is on screen, it's empty.  And, call me what you want, but I want to see Iron Man, the hero of the story, defeat the villain, not his girlfriend, who is technically more powerful than him now. I know Stark said he fixed her, but...really...f**k dat.

Reason so many people are split on the movie is because it's entirely based on subverting expectations. For that, most people either really like it or really don't. I thought it was a breath of fresh air for all of the superhero genre's tropes, and a funnily meta experience.

subtextually the whole film is about rebirth / being reborn, lots of nice visual cues to the theme
[close]

yeah the longshots are quite stunning to the point of arresting.

About that spoiler, very interesting. That theme was definitely very prevalent throughout, and now I kind of want to see it again to see if I ca pick up on a few more of the visual cues now that I know exactly what's coming. Thankfully the movie seems like it will be just as effective on second viewing as it was the first time around.

Yep it's the same reason I want to go see it again, I like that it wasn't overtly heavy handed with it, plus the two whiskeys I had whilst watching it probably dulled me a little.

Watched Goodfellas again last night,

The Invisible Ray (1936)

On a expedition to Africa in search of a meteorite deposit, Dr. Janos Rukh (Boris Karloff) is exposed to an unknown element and now kills whomever and whatever he touches. His colleague Dr. Benet (Bela Lugosi) finds a way to suppress the effect, but the substance slowly drives Rukh mad. The leads are both very good and the glowing skin effect is great for 1936, but the film is too slow and dull to really make use of its admittedly decent premise. It's quite cool to see Lugosi play a genuinely heroic character, though.

The Lords of Salem (2013)

I still love this one. The commentary track should be interesting.

Jurassic Park 3D - The 3D was needless crap that added nothing to the film, the screen was too dark... at least in my theater the focus was off in way too many scenes...

Cant really recomend it to people who want to see the re-release...

To add insult to injury, they forgot to turn on the lights when the film ended. People stumbled out of the theater in the dark.  :laugh:

The Joneses (2009, David Duchovny/Demi Moore/Amber Heard) - film is more watchable as a romance than as a poignant look at the absurdities, crassness and emptiness of sales culture (it's a bit halfhearted in that respect), but the soundtrack is killer. Way better than the film deserves.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

The fourth film in the franchise is kind of a mixed bag for me. It has likeable characters, fantastic effects, and cool death scenes. However, it also has resurrection via dog piss (seriously), Freddy imitating a shark, and some pretty lame attempts at martial arts and wire fu. The film also pulls an Alien³ and kills off the the surviving characters from the last film within the first 10-15 minutes, and in really weak fashion, to boot. That being said, when the film is good, it's good.

Sadako 3D (2012)

one of the recent entries in the Ringu saga,Sadako 3D is about some asshole that kills himself and makes this video in the effort to resserect Sadako so she can kill again,hes video is cursed as she manifests on it so people that watch it then kill themselves,Sadako herself uses the video to find the vessel that she needs to possess to resserect herself.

One of the main characters has a power and Sadako deems her the one to overtake, que battle. Has some wierd 'grasshopper' looking Sadakos in it but I guess they are just manifestations of her spirit mojo as they turn into bugs when hit.

the 3D in this is abit gimmicky,just shards of glass and a lame 3D moth that flys around at times and Sadako hand reaching out..oooo..lol

blantant advertising for a pop group in it too on one of the big screen tv's lol.

Cheesy,but entertaining enough. I actually enjoyed it.

now I'll have to watch Sadako 3D 2. yes thats out in Japan now.

Pacific Rim

Not been much of a fan of monster vs robots, but I had to admit I was impressed, it was obviously a labour of love from Del Toro, loved the visuals, the battles, even if the story was a little thin, but who cares, monsters vs robots vs ron Pearlman, take all of my money now!!

Superman 2

A classic from my childhood but having viewed it again it does feel a little cheesy, not that I'm complaining though, Reeve is an amazing Superman and an even better Clark Kent, he plays the bumbling reporter perfectly. It's still a classic, just like it's predecessor but watching it as an adult has made me appreciate Snyders fresh approach to the Superman story more

Gravity - 9/10 - Yup, dis gonna snatch sum Oscars. Intense and technically astounding. Just a straight-up crazy survival film set in space which looks stunning. You must watch this on the biggest screen possible in 3D. The only downside is that it won't feel truly complete when watched at home.

Nine Dead (2009)

Nine people are kidnapped by a masked man, who ties them up in a room and kills one of them every ten minutes until they figure out how they're all connected. The plot is fairly interesting and well done, and it makes up for the mostly shit acting, especially from Melissa Joan Hart. John Terry wasn't bad, though. It's too bad that the ending completely f**king terrible.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)

It's really a shame, this one. The film has a very interesting concept at its core, but it's completely wasted on a lame, lackluster film. The characters mostly suck, and the death are either stupid of forgettable, the only exception being the motorcycle scene, where the guy turns into something out of Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Even Englund seems terminally disinterested this time around. Also, the ending just plain sucks. What a waste of a great character and concept.

Machete Kills

I had a blast for the most part, but it got bogged down in places with way too many characters who went nowhere. El Chameleon is especially guilty, since he's/she's just an excuse for two or three famous people to make brief cameos. Also, Mel Gibson, while still pretty awesome, needed more to do action wise. That being said, the movie is a lot fun and the action/violence is insane in places. I'm more than ready for Machete Kills Again... IN SPACE.

Spoiler

The first time he shows up Gibson mainly gives Machete a tour of his evil factory and offers Machete to join him in space. When Machete returns to get him, you see him wearing a silver jumpsuit and cape, giving a speech about how awesome space will be after the world ends. Machete eventually burns part of his face off, and Gibson puts on a silver mask for the rest of it

I tried not to give away the ending.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

Admittedly, some of the jokes are funny, and Englund is clearly having a ball. That aside, this movie is pretty bad. The new backstory is especially stupid.

Spoiler
They say that Freddy started killing kids because his own was taken away... even though we clearly see that he was a child killer before that happened. And if he killed his wife and his kid got taken away over it, how was he still a free man long enough to kill a bunch of kids, get off on a technicality, and then get torched? And why the f**k is Alice Cooper here? Oh, and don't get me started on the dream demons. Just don't.

Pacific Rim

So, I never really followed this film at all, I never went to see it at the theatre, I never watched more than one trailer for it, other than to check that GLaDOS voices the computer systems. (Which is f**king awesome)

So, first off, the film is amazing visually, probably one of the best I have seen, even more than Avatar. I loved the stormy weather effects, and the looks of the Kaiju, Jaegers and even the characters were appealing to look at. The grittiness of some of the locations were great too.

I wasn't at any point reminded of Transformers, mainly because I don't really follow that franchise at all, (I've tried to, but it honestly bores the living shit out of me.) Was actually good to see some back story to the characters before all the badass robit fighting, that I was just expecting from start to finish. The characters were actually relatable and fun, and put out pretty decent performances. Just wish some of the other Jaeger pilots like the Russians who piloted Cherno Alpha

So basically, it was a bunch of massive monsters and robits fighting each other and punching the shit out of each other (Which is fine by me), nothing really to complain about, I had fun watching it from start to end.

8.5/10

Machete Kills (2013)

Machete is back with a vengeance. This was a lot of fun. It may not be as good as the first film, but they cranked the absurdity into overdrive this time around. The cast was great. I enjoyed the brief cameo by Walton Goggins as El Camaleón. Now I was really looking forward to Mad Mel as the arms dealer Voz in this. While good, he wasn't the character I ended up loving. Gotta say Demián Bichir as Mendez stole the show for me. He's a ruthless drug cartel leader with three separate personalities that make their presence known whenever they feel like it. I almost wish there was a buddy cop movie with Mendez and Machete riding around Mexico dispatching justice with a blade and a gun. Good stuff.

A fun little crossover film. It could be better, but the fact it got made at all makes for up for the lame parts. I mean, did we really need a Jason Mewes knockoff and some pop singer in here?  That being said, the fights between Freddy and Jason  are pretty great.

Dredd

Picked up a bunch of very cheap blues at Blockbuster, including this one, considering the love it has gotten around these forums. It was quite alright actually. Very much like The Raid. They made the clever choice by making the plot revolve around a tense situation inside a claustrophobic setting, instead of doing the 'sci-fi grand world building' plot route and as a contained intense action flick the films works just fine.


Prisoners

Well, this was bleak... very bleak. Cold and unforgiving. Reminds me in any sort of ways of Sean Penn's The Pledge in both theme, story and cinematic look. I think the only thing that made me feel a bit odd, is having a relatively young actor as Jake Gyllenhall play the cop in charge of the investigation of finding 2 missing girls. Nothing wrong with his performance, but the character just seems a tad too young for that amount of responsibility.

Is Riddick worth it at the big screen or should one wait for the blu-ray?

Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)

An awesomely meta follow up to the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It's easily the second or third best movie in the entire series, IMO. My only issue is that I would have liked to have seen more of Robert Englund as himself. Otherwise, it's an odd but damn near perfect closure to the series.

Curse Of Chucky

As a big fan of the series (well, first 3 anyway), I am actually happy with this film. Brad Dourif's daughter Fiona did a great job and the other actors are as always a little sketchy about what happens to everyone. The overall feel is very good, even similar to the original. Also I don't mind the "new" Chucky: very little CGI used and the puppet was very convincing. Minus a couple plot holes this is a must watch for all fans of the series! 8/10

Eraser (1996)

Not bad, but not one of Arnold's best, either. Arnold and James Caan are both awesome, though, and more than a few of the action scenes were pretty good. The one liners were pretty much all gold.

Escape Plan (2013)

Stallone is no stranger to prison movies with evil wardens (see Lock Up) so this isn't really breaking any new ground here. It's more of a chance for Sly and Arnold to star in an action vehicle all to themselves (and without the other Expendables around) and dispense justice with witty one-liners and huge machine guns, and oh what a fun time it was! The first half of the movie plays like a thriller, with relatively low key scenes with both characters starting riots and formulating plans. It's not until the last act that Escape Plan becomes a nice throwback to action movies these actors were legends in. Jim Caviezel was also great as the sinister Warden Hobbs. Maybe not as ruthless as Donald Sutherland's Warden Drumgoole from Lock Up, but still a mean sonuvabitch. I thought the twist about the prison was pretty neat too.

You hit like a vegetarian.

Glad you finally got to watch it then. Masterpiece - one of those few movies I just have to watch whenever I stumble upon it on tv, despite having it on blu yadda yadda. Same with the film on right now (speaking of the prison escape genre) - The Shawshank Redemption. Know it inside out by now and I still can't make myself switch channels. It's terrible lol. :D

Metropolis (1927) - The 2010 Restored version with tons of previous lost scenes.

It's a classic.  :) Love the way it casually blends scifi with biblical myth as if both were always meant to be together. The new scenes add extra tension, solve many plot problems of the heavily cut version that is the one we are most familiar with and are all very well shot of course.

I just wish the "lost" scenes were in better condition... and there's still ONE SCENE that is missing in it's entirety - The Rotwang vs Fredersen fight... wich results in Maria's freedom. On this version, there's just written description of the scene and it's dialogue then it cuts to Maria getting away.

Still.. it's a must watch for film fans and it's a damn fine piece of fiction in it's own right. :)

Only God Forgives (2013)

With his follow up to Drive, director Nicolas Winding Refn reunites with Ryan Gosling to create a violent and often visceral experience. Those coming into this and expecting something similar to Drive with be disappointed. Only God Forgives is something different, something strange, something beautiful. Taking place in Thailand, Julian (Ryan Gosling) runs a boxing gym.

After his brother's murder (who is no saint by the way...) both boys mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) comes calling for revenge. The film is light in dialogue and heavy on the visuals. Julian doesn't say much for most of the movie. I loved the way those red and yellow hues would hit his office. Cliff Martinez's score brings a unique sense of foreboding to the film. The scene in which Julian fights Chang comes off beautifully when Martinez's score is playing. 

I can certainly see why this movie would turn a lot of people off. The reaction at the Cannes Film Festival was split with people both cheering it and booing it. I for one liked it; the visuals, the score, the story and subtext surrounding the film.

Chang karaoke ftw.

Burden of Dreams

A making-of documentary about Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo, which was the story of a man who dragged a large riverboat over a mountain in several pieces in order to access another river, which Herzog filmed by dragging an even larger boat over a mountain intact.

This was a good movie.

Jaws

They really, really don't do suspense movies like they used to. There's nothing new to say about this film. It's been said. The score, the acting, the writing. Everything is perfect.

Except the shark puppet, obviously, but y'know what? It's convincing enough. It doesn't stand up at all to repeat viewings, but it never needed to. The film draws you in so much and builds the shark up so much that by the time it rocks up, you aren't thinking, "Geez, that's fake", you think "HOLY f**k IT'S A SHARK".

It's only later, when the pulse drops and the adrenaline fades, that you can start to pick it apart. And if you're rewatching the film and doing that, chances are you don't care, and it still doesn't matter.

I couldn't agree more.   

However, there have been few newer films that really pulled in like Gravity.  Even with the CGI, Sandra Bullock did such a great job with the emotional portrayal of her character she really sold it.  Paranormal Activity was another.  It was unpredictable, slow and suspenseful.

I'll leave this here.

"I believe that McCarthy has crafted a surreal, mythological Greek tragedy disguised as a pulp neo-noir crime story about cartels and drug money. In a way, this is a hardcore art-film and not some conventional genre film. The drug-trafficking is only used as a modern metaphor for greed and it becomes the trap for The Counselor's naivety and thus his nemesis/hubris."

Also I get the impression you haven't read much McCarthy, you've got 10 minutes to read up on Wikipedia and pretend you have.

And Cormac has a poetic style of prose, I've heard the dialogue is delivered in a fashion similar to deadwood, and read many comparisons to a Shakespearean style of delivery.

I tend to think people are very uncomfortable with the themes Cormac presents, what he has to say about humanity.

But yeah It does draw comparisons to BB, dat mothaf**king zeitgeist.

The Counselor

It's beautifully shot and all of the actors do their best, but this is easily one of the worst movies I've seen all year. I seriously expected better from Cormac McCarthy.
Um... could you perhaps elaborate on why it's one of the worst movies you've seen all year...?

Terrible, terrible script. It meanders for about an hour before the actual plot kicks in, and there's a lot of really cringe worthy scenes.

2deep4u

I'll leave this here.

"I believe that McCarthy has crafted a surreal, mythological Greek tragedy disguised as a pulp neo-noir crime story about cartels and drug money. In a way, this is a hardcore art-film and not some conventional genre film. The drug-trafficking is only used as a modern metaphor for greed and it becomes the trap for The Counselor's naivety and thus his nemesis/hubris."

Also I get the impression you haven't read much McCarthy, you've got 10 minutes to read up on Wikipedia and pretend you have.

I've read and loved two books of his (annoying lack of punctuation aside). Try harder.

This echoes other reviews I've read. check out the screen rant one and the indiewire one,  a few people from my site are giving it 9/10's one guy who I hold his opinion in high regard said this like "only god forgives" are the two most underrated and misunderstood films of the year.

I also read a review that compared the critical savaging of it, to how "Killing them Softly" was savaged the year before.. I really loved killing them softly.

Jaws 2

The biggest problem with all of the sequels isn't necessarily that they're bad -- it's certainly a factor -- but that they're all boring. Jaws 2 is one of those movies that isn't good enough to love or bad enough to hate, but it does have enough ridiculous set-pieces to be justifying a return every now and then. Playing "Spot the visible shark mechanism" would be an awesome drinking game.

Goofball comedy from the people behind Jackass is just what you'd expect. This movie goes for the Borat/Bruno mockumentary-type approach, which works (at least most of the time) by getting real people's reactions, but still suffers from a weak storyline which isn't as engaging or appealing as it should be. Regardless though, you gotta love some of the pranks.

Spoiler
The trailer spoils the climax though, with the outrageous stripper scene at a beauty pageant.

Frankenweenie (2012) - 7/10

A remake of the old Tim Burton movie of the same name. I enjoyed a lot of the throwbacks to the original (some scenes exactly the same only in stop motion animation).  I really do prefer the original if only because I really was eh about climax part of this movie.  It just felt like to much to take in.

Paranorman - 9/10

Oh wow I was really not expecting to love the movie as much as I do.  A lot of fun horror "Easter Eggs" and just all over horror movie throw backs.  The animation is beautiful and the colors in certain scenes really striking and fun to look at.  Norman himself is a really likeable, sympathetic and to me relatable(which is rare for me to feel) character.  With all the other stop motion Halloween esk movies you watch add this one two your list.

World War Z

It was okay, but it kind'a enforces my view that a PG-13 zombie movie is a poor idea.

The zombies themselves, I really didn't care for. The point of Brooks' zombie stuff is to try to steep it in realism; the inhuman vocalisations and the running animated corpses really threw that out the window even by zombie movie standards.

Oddly enough, I didn't hate this one as much as I did the last three. Maybe it just didn't bore me as much as those ones did. It works okay as a generic slasher film, the biggest problem is all the Hellraiser imagery crowbarred in there. Lance Henriksen is awesome, and it was kind of funny seeing Henry Cavill as victim number three, who gets a blowjob before getting hooked.  :laugh:

I always felt the movie kinda fell apart in the second half. The start and most of the middle were fantastic, though.

My main complaint is that very little of the stuff in the movie felt right for the era. The machine that transformed Rogers into the Cap, the one-man submarine, and the giant f**king tank at the start were all great. Other than that, though, nothing looked or felt like something that was made in the 40s. All of Hydra's equipment and weaponry looked like generic sci-fi lasers and tanks; would've been awesome if they looked like modified Panzers and MP40s. It felt like they had a golden opportunity to get some really unique and cool designs and aesthetics in the film, and just completely missed it.

Evil Dead (2013)

I went from being wary at the start, to being pleasantly surprised, to really, really not knowing what to think by the end. All told a good horror movie, but whereas the gore in the original was over the top and designed to entertain, here it's played much too straight and comes across as excessive. When the violence is goofy, someone getting a limb cut off and still going works; here it just feels stupid. Your hand just got torn off, exposing two arteries. Really don't think tucking it under your armpit for a couple of seconds between actively using it is quite gonna cut it.

Spoiler
Really struggling to think what they gained by pulling the ultimate bait-and-switch with the survivors. Throwing out the most developed character for the sake of a shock ending was cheap and making the Deadite possession entirely reversible (healing yourself in the process, even!) seemed like a God-damn cop out. Give Jane Levy an Oscar for pulling it all off, but there are far better ways to keep people on their toes than third-act plot twists from left field.

Hellraiser: Inferno

This one is a mixed bag for me. It has some interesting ideas and some potentially great moments, but a lot of that is undone by the flaws, including mediocre acting, very dull sections, and terrible music choices. It doesn't help matters that the main character is a largely unlikable douchebag with very few redeeming qualities. It's also not really a Hellraiser movie, either, with Pinhead and the Cenobites portrayed in the completely wrong manner.



Hellraiser: Revelations

Yet another mixed bag in my book. The core story is actually quite good, and brings back the core themes and ideas of the original movie. There a few genuinely good plot points, as well. Overall, it's arguably the first true Hellraiser film in over a decade. Unfortunately, Dimension didn't give a single crap about this movie, and it ended up only going through a single draft of a screenplay and a ten day shooting schedule, all so they could hold onto the rights. This resulted in them losing Doug Bradley, who felt the script was unfinished. Now, I'm not against recasting characters, but the guy playing Pinhead in this just doesn't do very well. The rest of the acting isn't very good, either, and neither is the production value. Everything feels just incredibly cheap, with the odd exception of the Cenobites and the gore effects, which are a step up from the last few films.

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

This is a mixed bag with me. While the movie is gorgeous to look at and the cast perform as well or even better than before, the plot and the villain is a bit thin. I wouldn't call Malekith the worst villain in the MCU so far though. He's still better than Iron Man 2's Whiplash, for example.

The humor works surprisingly well for most of the time. They could have cut down on some of the banter between Thor and Loki. Most of the time, it isn't that funny. The small and simple jokes work perfectly fine though.

You don't get to see that much of Sif or the Warriors Three, which is a shame. Same goes for Tyr. I think he was in a scene or two, but it's kind of hard to tell, seeing as how he's hidden behind a huge beard and the armour he's wearing is the same as the other Einherjer. What little we saw of Bor in the flashback was very cool, though I still would have seen more of him.

Actually, the whole movie could have been a bit longer. It felt kind of rushed.

The thing that was handled the best, in my opinion, was...

Spoiler
Frigga's death, as well as the funeral for her and the other fallen asgardians. That was both sad and beautiful.
[close]

Not really sure that to think of the end.

Spoiler
I'm kind of interested to see where they are going with this, with Loki taking Odin's shape. On the other hand, it feels like we've seen it all before. Loki already sat on the throne in the first movie and that also ended with him impersonating/controlling someone else.
[close]

The mid-credits scene is setting things up nicely for a certain villain. 8)

The after-credits scene was nice, and that last shot was hilarious. :laugh:

There's also a cameo from a certain Avenger that I think no one expected.

All in all, it's not as good as the first movie, but still entertaining.

7/10

X-Men: First Class (2011)

With the recent release of the Days of Future Past trailer; it got me in the mood to start an X-Men marathon seeing as I didn't really have the time when The Wolverine was released just a few months ago; and what better way than to start at the beginning. As a prequel to the Bryan Singer films, I felt this worked almost perfectly. Sure there are a few continuity errors that pop up now and again but if you're willing to look past them then this is a very good film.

I loved that they incorporated the Cold War tension between the United States and Soviet Union into this. Using an actual historical event as your backdrop for the movie was an interesting idea. Both Fassbender and McAvoy do an outstanding job playing their respecting characters. I still love the satellite scene between them at the mansion; packs quite an emotional punch. Truely a first class experience from director Matthew Vaughn.

Not to mention the intro with the concentration camp.

Speaking of which, I would have prefered had Shaw not been in the camps. They didn't need to throw a supervillain into the whole thing. The camps were horrible enough without it and it felt way worse and more genuine the way we saw it in the first movie.

Ernest Scared Stupid - Ernest awakens a troll set in an oak tree by his great great great grandfather "a long time ago" that is after children to set his demon trolls free. Definitely aimed for children at some points, but this is always my favorite Ernest movie. 8.5/10

X-Men (2000)

Not only is this my favorite X-Men movie, but one of my all time favorite comic book movies. It has held up well, despite its age. I can't believe it's been thirteen years since this was released. It's almost a bit strange watching this after seeing some of the more recent movies. Hugh Jackman looks so thin and so young. Anna Paquin is not much more than a kid.

The plot and the theme are as relevant as they were back then, or even in the sixties, when the comics were created. You could pretty much switch mutant with any other exposed group in our society and the arguments against them would sound more or less the same.

The intro in the concentration camp is one of the best openings I've seen and Logan in the cage is completely badass. I just love that sound of metal each time he hits someone. That's a guy that doesn't need the claws to dish out some serious damage.

Love it.

Ender's Game

I really enjoyed this. Granted, it's been eons since I read the book, but the film followed what I remembered of it pretty well. The actors are all solid, especially Harrison Ford and Viola Davis. Ben Kingsley is great as usual, and he puts on yet another accent for the role. The young cast are good as well, with Asa Butterfield continuing to prove his worth as an actor. Hailee "screwed bu the Academy" Steinfeld does quite well, too. As for the downsides, a few parts of the film feel a bit rushed, especially the bits before the Battle School, and some of the exposition-y bits could have been handled better. Also,

Spoiler
I was a bit put off by them leaving out Valantine and Peter's subplot, but I understand why it was cut. Also, I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't include Ender becoming the Speaker for the Dead, but that could easily be worked into the beginning of the sequel, if they make it.

Overall, it wasn't a bad film in the slightest.

Phantom

Submarine film about the Russian rogue sub with a plot to launch a nuke. Has Robocop as the captian,with his second in command the bank manager from Dark Knight, and Mulder is secretive special forces. Good flick,good tense moments and some decent sub to sub combat with nice attention to detail on procedures.

Dude, that's Ed Harris. :D

Forcing sharks, even fake ones, to appear in movies like this should constitute some manner of animal abuse. As much as I'd like to let my Aussie flag fly in appreciation of my countrymen's efforts, it's just a shitty, shitty movie. Every character is an obnoxious movie cliche and good god what was up with that crazy guy's accent? The first time he opened his mouth I burst out laughing. Every line was comedic gold for all the wrong reasons.

The only entertainment to be had was saying "Aw man I've been there!" during the opening scenes.

Captain Phillips is an amazing ride, but be sure to bring a sick bucket if you see it in the cinema. It's shot on handhelds (not as found footage, just as a filming technique to get close to the action) and there's a ton of camera shake from start to finish.

Twelve Years A Slave

A movie about the human soul, both in resilience when faced with the most unimaginably horrific circumstances, and in dark, deep, utter depravity. To say it casts a light on slavery is both a faint description and saddening. Saddening because this movie should have existed since long before I was born, but everybody, for all that it does, was too afraid to make it.

Luckily, we have Steve McQueen, who is unflinching (literally, his filming technique, as seen in his previous films as well) makes each scene feel as if it's part of a stage production) and a masterful director, and the perhaps the bravest, most ego-less cast ever assembled. McQueen's lens is, and always has been, a heart-wrenching look into realities, both present and past.

I don't believe there was a dry eye in the house from the "Roll Jordan Roll" scene to the end. Rarely have I ever heard sniffling in a movie theater as soon as the (in this case, music-less) credits roll. A lot of people just sat in their seats, some of them started talking about it, and all seemed uncomfortable, yet enlightened by the experience.

But don't read that wrongly-- at no point does the movie make unnecessary moves to grab at the audience's heart or nail some overbearing message into their heads, instead it all flows together organically, avoiding typical predictable film (or story) structure. The end is the resolution it all needed, and exactly as it was told by the dignified man himself, Solomon Northup.

This is a film to be shown in schools, as it goes beyond the simple "slavery was bad", as it educates with exactly what is shown, and what is shown is the undeniable, unsuppressed, unforgivable, and unmissable truth.

These are the movies I've seen for the first time (which are the only mini-reviews I post in here) in the last few weeks. I'm gonna keep it simple since I'm in a lazy mood right now:

Hot Fuzz - 9/10 - Loads of fun and overall crazier than Shaun of the Dead. I love them both equally though. Can't wait to check out The World's End.

The Bourne Identity - 7/10 - Interesting action thriller that lacks a bit more of action and a better climax. Gonna check out the sequels soon.

Captain Phillips - 8/10 - Welp, that was a really intense one. Gotta love Hanks in this. The pirate leader is fantastic as well. Some parts are kind of empty though.

Prisoners - 9/10 - This is definitely one of my top movies of the year. The script is fantastic and the acting is all-around excellent, but Gyllenhaal gives the standout performance for me. The only downside is that it feels a bit too long.

Witching and Bitching - 7.5/10 - Big fan of Álex de la Iglesia (one of my favorite spanish directors), since he always puts up crazy shows. This one is hilarious and as cheeky as I expected. It gets a bit too weird and loses steam near the end though.

Vantage Point - 4/10 - Good idea and cast. Poor execution. Very forgettable.

Thor: The Dark World - 8.5/10 - Easily my favorite CBM of the year. Up there with Iron Man and Captain America when it comes to my favorite solo MCU films. Improves on many aspects of the first one. On the bad side: the main villain is underdeveloped and you can tell the final cut is slightly trimmed down.

Hi Omega,

With regards to your Sig picture:

I am embarrassed to admit that I just recently saw "Cabin in the Woods" for the first time on Blu-Ray.  I have been let down by so many horror/thriller films in the past few years, that I didn't have any high expectations.

Wow...what an amazing film.  It was such a breath of fresh air, and one of the most enjoyable film experiences I have had, in this genre, for quite some time.  The best part is that the film, towards the end, goes completely Bat Shit Crazy -- and I mean that in a good way.

Cheers

Thor (2011)

I had almost forgotten how much I love this movie. Seeing this now, after The Avengers and TDW, it's strange how different Thor was back then. Arrogant and stupid indeed. The cast is excellent and I really don't get the complaints about the Jane/Thor relationship. I think they have excellent chemistry. The Jotuns are fine villains, especially compared to the somewhat disappointing Dark Elves. Also, gotta love that score, as well as the humor.

I agree.  "Gettysburg" (based upon "The Killer Angels" novel) is far superior.  Heck, Jeff Daniels speech, as Col. Joshua Chamberlain, is worth the price of admission.  The harrowing depiction of the Battle for Little Round Top is one of the greatest scenes.  Pickett's last charge also is beautifully shot.  Stephen Lang was great, as General Pickett...as was Sam Elliot as Gen.

Halloween II (1981)

A better than average sequel, but it sufferes from its fair share of problems. The main issues have to be the decidedly meh direction and the crappy robotic portrayal of Michael Myers. Before, he moved at a measured pace. Now, he struggles to catch a god damn elevator that takes like an hour to open and close.

The Colony, not bad at all for a straight to dvd movie....acting was good, story wasnt to chessy, and had some good cgi...6.5/10

Only God Forgives, while not on the same level as Drive, i still enjoy it but will not buy it...6/10

I recommend renting both but not butying neither one.

Of the three movies, this is my favorite. The overall atmosphere of "no hope" is very convincing and the all scenes are great. The Extended version is even better with the bonus tidbits that make sense.

I prefer Fellowship too. Not sure as to why, maybe it's the small scale the film has in comparison to the epic scope that the later sequels would have.

Thor: The Dark World

Just got back, and I had a blast! The film was two-odd hours of fast paced, intense fun layered with a ton of interesting concepts that propel the established Marvel Cinematic Universe forward in some really unexpected ways. I loved watching the continuation of Thor's journey in this one (having watched Thor and The Avengers just prior to watching this film, it was really interesting tracking his personal growth as a character from one film to the next). The arrogant warrior that wanted to be king in the first film is gone, and in his place is a wise man with both his heart and his mind on equal level with his skills on the battlefield.

While it was definitely kind of contrived, I was overall very pleased with the story of the film. It was nothing revolutionary, but it served its characters and presented a ton of great confrontations of both the verbal and action-oriented variety. As should be expected, the action scenes were fantastic. As far as the characters go, I loved Thor and Loki (though I admit that Loki was a bit underused), and found that Jane, Darcy, Selvig, and even the intern were used to great effect. There was one particular emotional moment that came at around the midpoint of the film that impacted Thor and Loki in really interesting ways. I would have loved to have seen a bit more of Loki throughout, though, and a lot more Sif, the Warriors Three, and Heimdall. Malekith was essentially presented a sort of non-entity, more of an object for Thor to fight rather than an actual villain.

The whole look of Asgard (and the darker look of the film in general) caught me a bit off guard in comparison to the first film's interpretation of the realm eternal, but that is by no means a bad thing. Just different. I also wasn't expecting the film to have such a science-fiction angle to it, with all of the spaceships and laser guns and even the really interesting physics anomalies that probably make no sense in the real world but were oh so much fun in this one.

Overall, while I do prefer the first movie, Thor: The Dark World was a lot of fun and is definitely worth a watch to both Thor fans and Marvel fans in general. The pre-credits ending was absolutely fantastic, and I can not wait to see what impact that will have down the line. The mid-credits scene and the revelations that came along with it were also a lot of fun and should mean some pretty big things down the line, and the post-credits sequence had me in stitches.

Gravity

Has to be the 2nd feature film only I've watched that really warrants the 3D format. Total immersion, uber-tension all the way through, a great soundtrack and rather good performances. But make no mistake, this is all about the visual gut-punch from watching it on a big screen, not so much about the characters and character devices Alfonso Cuaron has put in there. It finally happened - Sandra Bullock headlines a very good film. :)


Loki 3: The Dark World

It's pretty courageous to wait until the 2nd act of the film begins, before you allow the plot to catch up with and include the real lead person in this movie. I speak of Loki of course, in the shape of the delicious Tom Hiddleston. Up until this point, we get some impressive prologue stuff with a villain (played by a former Doctor Who) that comes across as very 1-dimensional. We also get some stuff with Loki's twat brother, goody-hearted Thor and all his troubles with the lady in his life, Jane Foster, played by Leon's assassin protegé.

Luckily all this trivial stuff is swiftly dealt with when Loki enters the story for real with all the great lines, interesting motivations and The Loki Grin™. Loki 3 is fun above anything else and that's fine - I expected nothing more. I do wish Marvel would put more effort in the villain though, but then again, Malekith might not be the actual villain in these movies, if you get what I mean.

The cameos were nice, Stan Lee's was unexpected, so it really got the laughs as well. I have no idea about the significance of the mid credits scene, so I'll just let that pass and allow the next Avengers movie to surprise me.

I liked it! Maybe not as much as the first film but it was a pretty solid entry in the Marvel Universe. The scenes in Asgard were great. It was nice that more of the film took place there. Also seeing Heimdall and Frigga's roles stepped up was great. I would have liked to see more of the Warriors Three but that didn't really happen. Also, FFS will Thor just please go out with Sif! She offered to drink with him goddamn it!

And dat mid credits scene. God, Del Toro was f**king amazing. :laugh:

Frigga was great in this. That scene (you know which one) was well handled and probably the best one in the movie.

Thor: The Dark World

I quite enjoyed the ride. The action and the spectacle were all great, and I have no idea where this "too much humor" nonsense is coming from. I do get the complaints about the villains, though. Malekith hinted at being an interesting character, but didn't amount to all that much. Eccleston did a great job with the material, though. The token black elf was kind of cool, and had some of the more badass moments. My only other gripe is the pointless twist at the end. Was anyone asking for that? Iron Man Three was better, but the movie was solid fun.

Spoiler
It was cool seeing Benicio del Toro, and the look of his lair was interesting. Also, Coulson is gonna have one huge mess to clean up with that Jotun monster traipsing around London. :laugh:

The Counsellor

The perfect date movie.

It's actually not really that misogynistic, it's basically "A mans test in life is a woman, a woman's test is material", lots of meditation on the nature of greed, grief, death, sex, hubris and ignorance and most importantly repercussion (you make your bed you lie in it). it's very dense and layered, its meant to be confusing as you only ever know as much as the counselor knows, it's more character driven than plot driven, the plot is secondary to the themes listed and the characters none of which are supposed to be likeable yet all very human in their failings.

Some of the dialogue is so amazing, in an age were audiences can complain about kiddy level dialogue in movies like Pacific Rim, it's pretty clear this movie sits at the other end of the spectrum evidenced with people espousing McCarthy's dialogue as pontificating and pretentious, I didn't find it either and for the most part it's delivered really well the scene with Ruben Blades blew my mind very poignant, it could have been the cheesiest and tritely written and delivered dialogue of all time but it works so very well because of Cormac's writing.

Despite the inherent darkness and nihilism of the film there is some truely hilarious scenes probably the funniest Ridleys shot, the brevity is almost always foreshadowed by the impending doom

And as much as Diaz is probably the worst major actor in the movie she really pulls off the role she's assigned, I don't think you could find many other actresses that would have fit the part probably one of the best Femme fatales in recent times (I did read they had Jolie originally cast but she had to drop out she probably would have been better but not by much in my opinion )

The supporting casting is also really good, all the bit parts give it they're all, It's a nice surprise picking out Ridleys wife, and Arthur Max, and casting Mr Norris in this film has to be one of the most intelligent winky nods (in spite of the references to Breaking Bad) ever.

Ridley nails the direction and pulls of some amazing shots lots of visual cues, juxtaposing shots and visual metaphors, the editing is tight the tension just ramps up the whole way, you'd have to be disengaged to say the movie was dull, which I think for most part the disengagement has to do with the darker nature of the film.

Many years from now when Ridleys dead they will reappraise this movie, I seriously think this is one of Ridleys best films it sits with Alien and BladeRunner. This movie belongs in another time, people are too retarded these days to appreciate it.

Stalker

If you don't like it then it's 2deep4u and has nothing to do with the fact it's a 2.5 hour Russian movie wherein nothing (or, perhaps, everything) happens.

The sort of film you experience occasionally. It's slow, and not much seems to happen, but I find it incredibly engaging regardless. It's also one of the single most beautiful movies I've ever seen -- any given frame could be taken and displayed as some fine art piece.

Still haven't read the novel it's based on, Roadside Picnic, which it ostensibly has little, if anything, to do with.

So did they even go into the room or what/10

I don't see how "Every time people say a movie is 'too deep' for people it turns out to be a wankfest" translates to "inferiority complex" but hey, whatever knee-jerk defensive reactions you need to defend a film you like to float your boat and all that.

At least we can agree on Stalker.

I'm not saying it's bad, just what it sounds like from reviews. The best defense amounts to "2deep4u",  resulting in those who like it deriding those who don't as plebs. I might love it. But it could probably do without the snobbish defense of those who enjoyed it.

And, no, not everything's a wankfest. Again, defensive crap cos I've said potentially unpleasant things about something you like.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Rong on Nov 10, 2013, 08:05:53 AM
2deep4u wasn't the best defence. Just a closing statement to reel people in, it worked.

I call it as I see it, most reviews are negative saying it didn't make sense, my review is unapologetically in defence of the film, not only do not care if it derides people for not getting the film, I don't care if i offend people at the same time, my "review" is toned down from my initial reactions.

It's not defensive crap, I don't know how many times I've seen you use the term "wankfest", almost as many times I've used "2deep4u"

Sleeping Beauty (posted this last night but in the wrong thread)

This is a movie I actually enjoyed as a child once upon a time. Today it is still enjoyable, though I don't watch it nearly as much as I did a long long time ago.

Doing some research, it didn't do well on it's 1959 release, but thanks to some re-releases through the decades into the 90's it is the second most successful film released in 1959, first place going to Ben-Hur, "and is today hailed as one of the best animated films ever made".

Fireproof.

It's a Christian drama about being a good husband, and well, that's what they played on the bus .__.

I didn't realize it was a Christian movie until 15 minutes in (more or less) but I was engaged. Althougt the Christian propaganda is very clear, but even if you remove those elements is still believable and they are good advices...

So, I was surprised by the quality (again, for a Christian), the acting was compelling and the script has some very cheesy things, but overall it's fairly decent. Got to say I liked it, in part because I'm as sentimental as a little girl =/

That's pretty much the comparison exactly, regardless of the fact that I loved The Dark Knight Rises and loathed Man of Steel, judging them on their base quality of filmmaking, it's clear which one comes out on top.

Zack Snyder vs Chris Nolan... hmm.

I'll take something dramatic, methodical, and clearly captured over a blurry, nearly incomprehensible multi-hundred million dollar budgeted music video any day. Sorry if that sounds snobby, but it translates as a standard to me.  :P

Man of Steel

I really liked it. A lot of people sound like they went in thinking "Oh no, it's Zack Snyder" and spent more of the film trying to conceive of a witty, disparaging logline for their inevitable review than actually watching it.

Admittedly, it's the sort of movie where it's no surprised the special effects supervisors and designers get top billing in the credits over the actors, but I really don't get the response of people who are either dismissive or downright hateful of the thing. It was fun, it was big, it was loud, it had a Superman I could root for and characters I could actually give a damn about. Yeah, I would've preferred to not have to sit through yet another "Guy with rad powers must come to term with his angst before he can kick arse" origin story (Why is Iron Man the last bastion of 'Holy shit I'm rad I can shoot rockets pew pew I'm Iron Man bitches' superhero fun?!), but I can't actually fault the bloody thing.

A good way to spend two hours.

Agreeing with you guys Its definitely not as bad as people pertain.

Micheal Shannon over cooked Zod, but again thats just how Shannon is.

The scenes with Pa Kent were the highlight for me, Nailed the emotional elements.

They could have also toned down the effects shots towards the end, it was a case of overstimulation.

I thought he did a much better job than the trailers were leading me to believe. They kept showing his "I WILL FIND HIM!!!!!!!!" line, making it look like he was going to go overblown villain mode, but I thought he did a great job making Zod seem like an actual, well, person, for want of a better term. It's easy to see where he's coming from and why he's doing what he does, which is a shitload more than can be said for a lot of characters in big-budget movies.

Yeah, the effects were getting a bit much. I think my biggest gripe with the film -- a couple of glaring plotholes aside -- was that everything had to be done as a big effects scene. We can't just have an emotional moment with Pa Kent, we have to have an emotional moment with Pa Kent and a f**kin' tornado.

John Carpenter's The Thing - The second time I ever seen this movie and it is still great. The anticipation of who or what the Thing infects is still mysterious, even the ending. My absolute favorite Carpenter flick so far. 10/10

Spoiler
So the debate continues, was MacReady or Childs infected at the end? I originally thought they were both still human, but now I begin to think that Childs was infected and MacReady wasn't, but the whiskey sip at the end by Childs shows no effect to the burn, meaning he may be human?

Yes of course. But as far as characters go I could identify let's say with Zod, for certain aspects.

Faora was hot though.

I think that became more common when they rebooted with The Man of Steel in the 80's. Before that, I think both Martha and Jonathan were dead.

He also died in the more recent Brainiac story arc.

Still think that Jonathan's death and attitude in MoS made no sense though. :-\

Yeah. If he's waiting for a good time for Clark to reveal himself, then, well, when is it a good time? Now is about as good as it's ever going to be. The fact that an alien is walking amonst us is always going to make pretty big headlines. I can understand that he wanted him to hide a bit when he was a kid, but not later. :-\

Also, if Clark was willing to let his father die to keep his secret, why show your face to a bunch of oil rig workers, or expose yourself (kind of) while trashing a guys truck.

It made sense, at the time of the bus incident Clark was still a child, if he was revealed to world at early age he wouldn't be emotionally mature enough to handle it, the whole movie could be seen as a metaphor for actually becoming a man.

Yeah, but to let himself die when Clark was pretty much an adult? I get that he wants to protect him, but there has to be a limit. Could have let Clark go back for the dog, for example.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

He died basically protecting clark, which is a pretty heroic (not saying it's not stupid) thing to do.

And that makes sense considering who clark grows up to become.

Thematically it works, were there better ways it could have been shown, maybe? but to fit it in the confines of a average movie running time i can excuse it, and for all the things i had to suspend my disbelief for in the film that's low on the list.

It's not... really that. He trusted his father's wish for a second.. respecting Jonathan's desire to protect him... It was a split second-heat of the moment poor decision... that showed how much he respected his father (despite his arguments with him).. but when he thought better, it was already too late and his father was taken in the tornado. :P OH THE MELODRAMA. It's really nothing more than a heat of the moment thing... the fact that afterwards he was still saving people shows that he really regreted that moment. (despite this not being stated in the film, it's shown.. again.. and again.)

It's a mediocre film.. but that moment wasnt what pissed me off in the end. It was the excess in BIG FX Sequences and not enough character development. :P That film needed a lot MORE superman development and less Russel Crowe. I think Super-Muchacho's father had more lines than Super-Muchacho. :P

Spoiler
I didnt even mind the final CONTROVERSIAL moment at the end of the film. :P (btw Grant Morrison's argument that "most people dont find themselves in situations in wich they have to kill in their day to day life.. so superman shouldnt kill"... is really really stupid. Most people arent Sun God's who have to fend off alien invasions all by themselves. lol)

Nah... i think the film tends to works best for people who actually arent too attached to the superman character and dont have too many preconceived notions of what his stories should be.

But he tells Lois "I let my father die because I trusted him.". That sounds to me like he thought it was the right decision (kind of). But to then pretty much reveal his powers over something so petty as a fight with a trucker, that just seems weird.

Also, Jonathan didn't need to be in that position to begin with. I get that he didn't want Clark to reveal himself once he was trapped in the car, but he could have let Clark go back for the dog to begin with. At least there would be no risk to Clark and he wouldn't even have revealed himself.

Not that I liked Jonathan's attitude to begin with either. I get that he's protective and he should be, but maybe they could have come up with a better answer than "Maybe let people die." when it came to his differences with Clark.

I don't really get your point here? Are you saying he would have acted differently had he not argued with his father right before the tornado?

To me it seems like he's going by Jonathan's wishes up until the point where he has a chat with Jor-El and decides to don the suit, making himself ready to reveal himself to the world. And even then he had some second thoughts about it, until Zod arrived.

Quote from: ShasvreI don't really get your point here? Are you saying he would have acted differently had he not argued with his father right befor the tornado?

Actually.. he might indeed have saved his father if there wasnt a fight.. :P.. what i was really getting at was that Clark made that decision in the moment despite not agreeing with it.

look.

the argument with his father is about him wanting to help people vs his father's wish for Clark to remain hidden and safe from the government. Clark WANTS To help the people in the hurricane... but here's the stuff that really explains why Superman made that decision to trust his father:

In the shouting match he drops the "bomb" that he doesnt feel like the kents are truly his family.
The "moment" when his father holds his hand up in a "no, dont come here, son.. it's fine.." sign... is the moment when he actually shows to his adopted father that he "truly" thinks of him as family... and it comes at a horrible cost. THAT is what the scene is about. Superman showing to the kents that he feels for them as family. That's why it's a spur of the moment thing... He's making a decision he actually doesnt agree with.. out of love for his adopted father.... after a shouting match.. That moment wasnt a "cool, rational" decision.

And Supes spends the rest of the film trying to "shake off" that moment.. he spends the rest of the film going against his father's wishes, helping people out but he was still trying to be sort of an "anonymous hero" due to the paranoid fear of the government that his father instilled in him.. and of how the world would react. :P

...Man of Steel really was needlessly complicated wasnt it?  :laugh:

The writer of Superman: Birthright actually loved that moment in the film :P btw.

QuoteAnd I think you'd be surprised to find that I loved everything about Jonathan Kent. I loved his protectiveness, even when it made him sound like an asshole. ("Maybe.") And I loved, loved, loved that scene where Clark didn't save him, because Goyer did something magical–he took two moments that, individually, I would have hated and he welded them together into something amazing. Out of context, I would have hated that Clark said "You're not my real dad," or whatever he says right before the tornado. And out of context, I would have loathed that Clark stood by frozen with helplessness as the tornado killed Jonathan. But the reason that beat worked is because Clark had just said "You're not my dad," the last real words he said to Pa. Tearful Clark choosing to go against his every instinct in that last second because he had to show his father he trusted him after all, because he had to show Pa that Pa could trust him and that Clark had learned, Clark did love him–that worked for me, hugely. It was a very brave story choice, but it worked. It worked largely on the shoulders of Cavill, who sold it. It worked as a tragic rite of passage. I kinda wish I'd written that scene.

Second time seeing this and I liked it more the second time around. Honestly, my only problem with it is that some of the action sequences give me a headache. The destruction of buildings and random whooshing about while being thrown into different things wears off after a while.

I would have liked to see more character moments and more substance between Clark and Lois.

I had no problem with

That's the problem... I can't seem to describe it without tampering with the disbelief of it all.

The simplest description would be:


QuoteThe Imposter is a 2012 British-American documentary film about the 1997 case of the French confidence trickster Frédéric Bourdin, who impersonated Nicholas Barclay, a Texas boy who disappeared at the age of 13 in 1994. The film includes interviews with Bourdin and members of Barclay's family, as well as archive TV news footage and reenacted dramatic sequences.

I researched this for about and hour and a half because I couldn't digest what I was seeing...

Showing mum an dad some films,

Man Of Steel

they enjoyed it, my third veiwing and I'm starting to love it more each time. damn the collateral damage,it works. sorry shadow, MoS owns.

World War Z

Dad enjoyed it, Mum hated it said it was Brad's worst performance in years,had no gusto and the chemistry between him and his wife was non-exisitant. Which I agree with the wife thing. I didnt feel anything between them at all,they could have just been randoms and you wouldnt be none the wiser. but regardless I still enjoy WW Zed.

Prisoners

Wow... a suspenseful, disturbing, tragic film. And the title is so appropriate in more ways than one. All the characters are well developed (aside from the older brother and older sister of the captured girls who are basically just there to show the effects something like this can have on a family). It's a grim watch but kept alive with great pace and fantastic raw performances from the cast. Melissa Leo continues to amaze me with her chameleon like abilities. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal both shine in their roles.

Prisoners surpassed my expectations and is definitely the best film of 2013, so far.

9/10

X the Unknown

Or, The Blob: Origins.

I knew little about this movie going in outside of "50s sci-fi" and "made by Hammer", either of which is enough to get my butt in a seat, and both of which gave me certain expectations:
Besides the second point -- it actually maintains a pretty steady pace, helped in no small part to only being 75 minutes long -- it delivered everything I expected. Which might sound like a bad thing, but dammit, I love these movies.

The reveal of the monster was a perfect mix of underwhelming and yet somehow exceeding expectations in the way only 50s sci-fi movies can. It really is basically the Blob (Or, more accurately, the Blob is just X, as this film predates The Blob by two years), but that stops being a problem when a dude's flesh melts off his skin before the camera in a 50s movie. And honestly, despite being older than the Blob, X is much more convincing, insofar as sentient killer radioactive mud can be convincing.

It's not one of the classics of the 50s sci-fi trend, but it's one of the better forgotten gems out there.

Them!

I kind'a wish the Sy-Fy channel would put the leeeaast bit of effort into their products and make something more along the lines of classic 50s sci-fi movies. A fast opening, an intriguing setup, some likeable characters, some memorable lines, an unfortunately woeful looking monster effect and a cracking yet all too abrupt finale. Why must we instead endure Sharknado?

This is one of the best things to come out of the 50s sci-fi cycle, particularly the giant monster variety. It's just a fun damn ride and honestly, the giant ants don't look that bad.

Man of Steel

Still a good movie, IMO. I still think it could have done with more story and character beats in the second half, though. I continue to find it amusing that the detractors ignore the fact that seven billion lives were saved when Supes destroyed the World Machine, yet the completely invisible/unseen casualties during the Metropolis battle are oh-so-heinous. I'm more concerned by the fact that there were people milling about in the street like there wasn't a giant f**koff laser flattening a few square miles just ten minutes prior. People that dumb are kind of asking to have debris fall on them.

The CGI was well executed, the main character was relatable and the story was good.  However, it seemed to be geared more for teens than adults.  To me, it was more drama than action.

Catching Fire

A sequel that works on many levels. I'll keep the review short because it will just involve me gushing over everything but... wow! The levels of intensity are higher, the script is tighter, there is a profound emotional weight to the sequel, the action sequences are different and better choreographed, there are small splashes of humour when appropriate and they feel natural.

Overall, this is a darker and stronger entry and explores the effects of The Hunger Games and a corrupt government whereas the first film served as more of a setup - almost as if we were watching this reality show as viewers in the Capitol. The sequel also addresses the relationships between the characters a little more and doesn't hold back on brutal moments even with its PG-13 rating.

A very satisfying entry that is closer to the book than the first film was to the book it was based on.

And, having seen Battle Royale recently, I can honestly say I enjoy The Hunger Games and its sequel more.

9/10

Like I said, some of my problems with the first one may have stemmed from the less-than-favorable viewing experiences each time I watched it :D But there were a few distinct problems I remember having with it, namely the editing during the fight scenes. I thought the ending was a huge cop out, too, but now that I know the premise of the second movie I think, in hindsight, that the events that that ending leads to should be really interesting.

Looking forward to checking the first one out again and giving the second one a watch.

Agreed. Can't pin point why. Maybe it's the pacing. As much as I love Shaun and Hot Fuzz they tented to slow down quite a bit during certain parts. The World's End, even during the quiet moments still felt entertaining and had me on edge. And Pegg is an absolute scene stealer in this one.

Quote from: First Blood on Nov 23, 2013, 08:16:36 PMMaybe it's the pacing. As much as I love Shaun and Hot Fuzz they tented to slow down quite a bit during certain parts. The World's End, even during the quiet moments still felt entertaining and had me on edge. And Pegg is an absolute scene stealer in this one.

All of this I can agree with.

Agreed. Can't pin point why. Maybe it's the pacing. As much as I love Shaun and Hot Fuzz they tented to slow down quite a bit during certain parts. The World's End, even during the quiet moments still felt entertaining and had me on edge. And Pegg is an absolute scene stealer in this one.

I agree with this. Shaun is my favourite, but I think you're right with the way the World's End never slowed down or dropped the pace or jokes. Sadly means no convenient slow bits you can reliably go to the toilet in during later viewings though.  :laugh:

Much Ado about Nothing: 4/10

RedBox had this for a free rental, so I picked it up.

I guess it's interesting to see if you're aware of Whedon and the cast's relationships throughout the years...

...but as a film on it's own...

It was just Joss and friends goofing around

Which is what made it so wonderful. Saw it with my girlfriend in theatres over the summer, she had next to no knowledge of the cast or their relationships, she still loved it. You can see them having fun, and that makes you have fun too. Doesn't matter if you know the relationships beforehand or not. It's a silly movie based on a silly play, and it's wonderful in all of its self-admitted silliness and playfulness.

Thing about silly movies is that the audience has a tendency to be divided on whether or not it was silly-good or silly-dumb, regardless of  how aware of itself it is.


Considering what I watched was uninteresting friendship wankery via Joss, I thought it was just silly-dumb. Hardly a thing of cinematic whimsy, at least.

But it might end up being a cool film to show at his home when he hosts parties.

Shakespeare's comedies tended to be silly-dumb. His tragedies? Most of them were remakes of older stories. The man pandered to his audience just as hard as modern day film studios do. Not that he wasn't great at what he did, but still.

In the Mouth of Madness

Probably John Carpenter's last great film, I have always really liked this little slice of Lovecraftian horror since I first saw it. There's a few weak performances, moments of cheesiness and ridiculous, and a few nigh-laughable special effects, but the undercurrent of suspense and dread makes those issues moot. The atmosphere has always succeeded in creeping me out, the reality vs fantasy theme is handled masterfully, and the questioning of free will and determinism never fails to get inside my head. And then there's that mindf**king ending which I just love.

Now off I go to analyse Sam Neill's steady descent into madness, hooray!

That's disappointing. I was holding out on buying the movie, waiting for the extended cut :-\

Still haven't even given it a watch since the theater last December. I'll have to see if Redbox has it and rent it before Desolation of Smaug comes out. At this rate I might as well hold off on buying any of them until the inevitable Blu-ray boxset with all six Hobbit/LotR films, since my LotR trilogy is only DVD.

They could have saved a bit more for the extended cut. Namely the dish washing song and the first Radagast scene. I think at this point Jackson is only making the extended cuts because people expect him to. Hell, the King Kong EC was pretty awesome, I thought.

Batman Begins

"I hope your not a member of the fire brigade!"

Still the single best origin movie for a super hero. It combines masterful storytelling with great acting (Katie Holmes excepted) for one hell of a good film. Bale is great, My Cocaine is awesome, Cillian Murphy is creepy, and Liam Neeson is.... what's the word, jefe? I think that's right. It also has a great sense of humor. Anyone who calls these movies humorless is either lying, dim, or both.

Agreed with pretty much everything you said. I'd even go as far as saying it's my favorite entry in the trilogy. Yes, both the sequels are exceptional in their own right, but so much works for me in Batman Begins. I mean, it's Ra's Al Ghul played by f**king Liam Neeson. When his character is on screen explaining shit you just can't help but feel engaged.

Begins definitely doesn't have the problem that the sequels have where plot points blow by at the speed of light. I'm looking at you, Joker switching the addresses. Begins does have dat unsubtle Goyer dialogue, though, but the actors make that shit work. Ken Watanabe needed more to do.

I don't a lot to add to the discussion on this one, but it's still a fantastic film. The plot is so well crafted and the story so well thought out that the occasional hiccup is more than forgivable. The cast is once again great, and the christmas-elf-trying-to-be-taken-seriously Holmes has been replaced with the far superior Maggie Gyllenhaal. I'll add one thing about the Joker, and one thing only: he proves his badassitude not by taking out any old tough guy, but f**king Spawn. That alone makes him the best incarnation of the character. Aaron Eckhart kills it as Harvey dent/Two-Face, and more than makes up for that embarrassment in Forever. He unfortunately gets overshadowed by Ledger's Joker, along with Eric Roberts as the awesomely douchey Maroni. The movie is just overall fantastic.

The cast is once again great, and the christmas-elf-trying-to-be-taken-seriously Holmes has been replaced with the far superior Maggie Gyllenhaal. I'll add one thing about the Joker, and one thing only: he proves his badassitude not by taking out any old tough guy, but f**king Spawn. That alone makes him the best incarnation of the character. Aaron Eckhart kills it as Harvey dent/Two-Face, and more than makes up for that embarrassment in Forever. He unfortunately gets overshadowed by Ledger's Joker, along with Eric Roberts as the awesomely douchey Maroni. The movie is just overall fantastic.

Pacific Rim

It's weird; I liked Raleigh slightly more this time (or, more accurately, hated him slightly less), yet found the stuff with the scientists even more obnoxious than I did the first time. Not necessarily the scientists themselves, just their chewing of screen time which could've probably been spent elsewhere.

Two biggest gripes are still how much I don't care for the characters who take up most of the screen time (or at least seem to), and how stupid the movie is. I'm not talking the concept of giant robots vs. giant monsters or the fact that EMPs and nuclear reactors just ... don't ... work like that, but things like only taking the sword out when Otachi is holding them and airborne. Originally I wondered why Mako didn't say something when they grabbed the ship to use as a club; now I'm really, really struggling to think why that wasn't literally the first thing they used when fighting Leatherback.

My brother, who hadn't seen the movie before, kept saying "They should have a club, or a sword, or something to use for close fights".

My response was, "Yeah, this is going to seem really stupid in about 5 minutes."

And it did.

That all being said, it's one of those films where there's just enough right with it to make watching more than just a highlights reel worth the time and effort.

No, seriously. There didn't seem to be any limit on the sword. That thing was capable of slicing Kaiju in two. Why was this not the primary weapon until 6/8s the way through a fight?/10

Post by: Blacklabel on Nov 25, 2013, 11:53:16 AM
Because the director felt they should deploy a badass new weapon before Mako going "This is for my family" on Otachi.

They only deploy it after the arm cannons are depleted so it doesnt bother me too much. "BUT WHY DIDNT THEY DEPLOY IT.." Arm cannons...

Except the arm cannons have limited ammunition and they're not the first thing they use and the swords are clearly the single most effective weapon ever devised to fight the Kaiju and and and arm cannons.

It actually fits in with the dark night rises actually sweeps, the movie was coming out in 2 weeks at that point so Aeus wouldn't shut up about it, He spent most the night rating the people who dressed up's level of autism, and kept saying that in 10 years time he would be hosting A DARK NIGHT FEST, and in place of dressup competition he would host a dress up comp / fight to the death.

Anyway it set the tone for the night, we went out then caught up with my Wife's friends and went to a few house parties, i got into a street fight, and then we went to a few dive bars and got more f**ked up, what else would you expect the legion of doom  to get upto?

20 Million Miles to Earth

"Please do not poke the Ymir (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/ymir/)".

This really isn't the sort of film I could recommend to people outside of monster movie fans, Ray Harryhausen fans, or fans of 1950s sci-fi movies. It's awkwardly paced, often slow, underwritten in the character department, more than vaguely racist, and any effect in the movie not done by Harryhausen (Which, mercifully, is only a few) are bad even by 50s standards.

It's also the sort of film where a character says "It's not savage unless provoked", and then immediately asks for a stick so he can provoke it. Um.

As the review I linked stated, the Ymir really is the protagonist. If everyone had just stopped poking, shooting at, or unleashing dogs near, him, he would've quietly gone off to mind his own business. It's hard to root for the "good" guys when they're unloading shells into an enemy they intentionally and repeatedly provoked into hostility.

I really wouldn't mind a baby one as a pet, though/10

Lol every once in a while back in the early 90's, local tv would run ads for "Tim Burton's Batman! tonight at 22 pm!" and someone in the station would pick the wrong tape.. and play the Adam West Batman film... i remember getting really angry about it.  :laugh:

Cannibal Holocaust

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FONN-0uoTHI#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FONN-0uoTHI#ws)

Watching this film is like gazing at the mount everest of gore. Great score, great practical special effects and nice cinematography really helps capture the "green inferno". The large amount of indian extras kinda mislead me into thinking this had a bigger budget than it actually did. Major props to the director for essentially starting the genre of found footage flicks.

The film has a nice point about sensacionalist media..but doesnt bludgeon our heads with it as much as it smashes our heads into smithereens and then proceeds to eat our brains... Not a film of subtlety. at all.. but much like a spear to the head... it's a film that is quite likely to stick with you... :P .......okay that was a lame joke but carrying on.

There is actual violence in the film wich just contributes to making it even more unsettling of course... live animals are killed violently and disembowled in a way that would make Bear Grylls a bit disgusted and they use actual prime time news footage of real people being executed... so the film actually has a certain amorality at the same time that it's criticizing amorality in media.

Spoiler
The all white, morally bankrupt film crew is evil in a cartoonish manner that makes the satire in Robocop seem subtle as f**k.... but this makes their demise at the hands of the cannibals... kinda satisfying to see unfold... :laugh: Go Cannibals! :P

From the review series 'Films Xenodog Watched on a plane'

House at the End of the Street - It's ok. It's adequate, it's fine. It's well done enough that you root for the right characters, take it seriously and watch to the end. The cast do well with a sluggish script but the plot has a good enough twist to save it from being mediocre.
A film good enough to watch if you see it on TV with nothing else to do.

Great documentary. I find it hilarious that Stan Lee has become so ubiquitous that he's now showing up in DC related stuff. :laugh: Now I'll have to grab the other 2-Disc DVDs to see the other parts.



Batman Forever: Much Darker Cut

A really sad attempt at turning the film into something more Burton-y. The dubbed in Elfman score is completely out of place, and the random inserts of music from Sleepy Hollow was just annoying and distracting. Combine that with the poorly done edits and jarring cuts, and you have a pretty crappy fan edit. Now if only I could get my torrent software to properly download the Red Book Edition. :(

The suit was way too overdone for the character, it looked... Well, no surprise, like an action figure.
It was good, maybe, but not fitting for someone who was supposed to be a scientist, not something taken out of Power Rangers.
But that's only a star in the galaxy of flaws of a movie in which nothing makes sense whatsoever...

I liked the design of Mr. Freeze's suit. Gotta say in a movie like that, it could have (should have) looked terrible. But it's a pretty slick design.

Yeah, everything else looks really cheap.

Freeze's eyes too change out. The make-up for Freeze and Bane is pretty inconsistent throughout; film's FILLED with continuity goofs.

Only God Forgives.

Not sure what to make of it. I knew going in this wasn't going to be straightforward and I wasn't expecting a "Drive 2" but I'm still left unsure of wether I liked it or not.

Visually its outstanding. But its not really a film with a narrative to tell. It's just throwing metaphors about what is "god", "redemption", "soul" etc. I think I understood it and alot of people don't get it, which is why they didnt like it. I can totally see why people either love it or hate it. Theres no middle ground here. With better understanding of it I dont think I'll know which camp I lie in, until I see it again. Not something I could sit through again soon though unless im in the right mood for it.

The Wolverine (2013)

It's amazing when you pair the right director with a good story, more than likely the movie itself will benefit from it. Thus is the case with The Wolverine. Here we have a darker more mature and violent film in the X-Men canon; something that's also a character study as well.

We can all forget the tragedy that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine and look at this as the definitive solo film for the character. Actor Hugh Jackman has been playing the character for thirteen years now, and he still puts 100% in the role. There's a lot to like about this one. Adapted from Wolverine by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, it follows Logan traveling to Japan and meeting Mariko Yashida. I loved watching this even more the second time around. The bullet train sequence has to be my favorite 'action' sequence in the whole film. It's incredibly fun to watch and quite different from all the crazy shit these comic book films have shown us before.

Glad to hear it holds up on a rewatch as well. Can't wait to get my hands on it myself. Honestly, I'm still really surprised by just how much I liked it, since the trailers seemed so... bland.

Theatrical.

Star Wars.
I made it through quarter of an hour of gay robots f**king around in the desert... just. Interesting looking at the film with fresh eyes, I hadn't seen it in years. Generally a greatly superior show of acting to the prequels, but most of the dialogue is just as terrible, and it's still full of stupid moments, childishness, corniness and ridiculous muppet aliens which (hopefully) only George Lucas thinks are cool. The Bluray transfer is beautiful, I'd never noticed how grimy and textured the universe was.
The main things I take away from it are the spectacular production design and execution, and one hell of a soundtrack - I'm not usually a fan of orchestral scores, but it fits the fantasy vibe ridiculously well. Also nicely progressive with the portrayal of Leia, being the brains of the operation, bossing the men around and kicking a fair bit of arse.

Very much agreed with fans who feel the 'new' effects and alterations detract from the film. A few changes fit comfortably into the production, but most of the updated footage sticks out like a sore thumb. Part of this is how little it matches the vibe of the original film, but also it's because the CG looks even more outdated today than most of the original film's practical effects. Lots of ugly rendering with low-resolution textures and shoddy animation.
More than anything, I hate the scene with Jabba. Most of us know it's unwise to tread on a gangster's tail.

The Blair Witch Project

The proverbial good found footage film. It's also one of the best examples of less is more; there are endless possibilities as to what's happening, from the mundane to the supernatural, and it's this vagueness which makes it all the more chilling. This could happen to anyone, anywhere.

Probably one of the last great no-budget indie horror movies. Certainly the last to make as much of an impact.

10 Things I Hate About Star Trek Into Darkness

Spoiler
1 ) I hate how you can't make up your mind as to basing the plot on an existing film in the canon or basing the plot on something entirely new and fresh.

2 ) I hate how the existing film in question, is basically a very simple but effective revenge thriller, while this film is a convoluted mess of over-plotting.

3 )  I hate how characters have hidden agendas and double cross someone over and over and over and over again...

4 ) I hate how you guys constantly force poor Mr. Nimoy out of his well earned retirement from acting with this and Fringe.

5 ) I hate how poor Benedict Cumberbatch is reading every single line of dialogue and is instructed to do facial tics, as if his character was named Onedimensional Supervillain Antagonistus Evildoer Moriarty.

6 ) I hate how the true villain of this film, would be much better served cleansing Detroit of crime, instead of wasting his time with this.

7 ) I hate how the emotional gut punch of Wrath Of Khan of a main character that no one saw coming, is signaled in advance throughout the whole film every time Pike and Kirk have a conversation about responsibility and what it takes to sit in the Chair.

8 ) I hate how the film also fails to stand by the choice it makes in the scene hinted in my complaint above, hence completely deflating the emotional impact of that moment.

9 ) I hate how the film demonstrated to me, that the story writers might not have what it takes to sit in the Chair of the Trek franchise, a re-assurement I was otherwise left with after watching the first film.

10) Lastly, I hate the fact that I didn't really hate Star Trek Into Darkness at all, merely feel a sentiment of disappointment considering the talent involved and the promise of the film Abrams delivered before this one.

5 ) I hate how poor Benedict Cumberbatch is reading every single line of dialogue and is instructed to do facial tics, as if his character was named Onedimensional Supervillain Antagonistus Evildoer Moriarty.

6 ) I hate how the true villain of this film, would be much better served cleansing Detroit of crime, instead of wasting his time with this.

7 ) I hate how the emotional gut punch of Wrath Of Khan of a main character that no one saw coming, is signaled in advance throughout the whole film every time Pike and Kirk have a conversation about responsibility and what it takes to sit in the Chair.

8 ) I hate how the film also fails to stand by the choice it makes in the scene hinted in my complaint above, hence completely deflating the emotional impact of that moment.

9 ) I hate how the film demonstrated to me, that the story writers might not have what it takes to sit in the Chair of the Trek franchise, a re-assurement I was otherwise left with after watching the first film.

10) Lastly, I hate the fact that I didn't really hate Star Trek Into Darkness at all, merely feel a sentiment of disappointment considering the talent involved and the promise of the film Abrams delivered before this one.

Honestly, I never found Into Darkness to be that bad, but my only experience of Star Trek are the remakes.

10 Things I Hate About Star Trek Into Darkness

1 ) I hate how you can't make up your mind as to basing the plot on an existing film in the canon or basing the plot on something entirely new and fresh.

2 ) I hate how the existing film in question, is basically a very simple but effective revenge thriller, while this film is a convoluted mess of over-plotting.

I watched The Motion Picture and the reboot movie. But I found Into Darkness extremely bland, nothing got me excited :/ The reboot film was way much better.

Still, I don't hate it. Just that, found it completely bland.

They wrote the film as if it was a science fantasy flick... i.e. star wars.... hence all the "cool for the sake of cool" scenes and weird coincidences that add up so that the heroes save the day at the end of the flick... (wich is fine for lots of Spielberg+Lucas adventure films that take themselves less seriously.. but just sticks out for Star Trek... wich IS supposed to be science fiction at it's core.) Just look at the JJ Abrams + Simon Pegg interview.. in wich Simon coments on this "injection of science fantasy" into the franchise.

It's almost as if JJ used these two Star Trek flicks to fall in the graces of George Lucas....

Oh boy, all these reactions to my teasing thoughts on STID... :D

In all seriousness I'll just say that it reminds me somehow of The Thing remake, in the sense that it doesn't know if its a remake, prequel/sequel or something else... probably all of them at once. Both films can't help but mimic key scenes from the 'originals' to poor effect over and over again, probably because the respective directors/story writers lack original ideas of their own to infuse into the films. But who cares... I'm no Trekkie anyway, I've only seen a couple of the old films so who cares what I think of them.... :)

Since Denmark is closed right now because of the hurricane engulfing us (all foreign visitors, please go to Sweden instead), I need suggestions to my planned weekend with Asian cinema. I've got Memories of Murders, I Saw The Devil, Oldboy, Ringu, The Grudge, Pulse/Kairo & A Tale Of Two Sisters lined up already, so if anyone have other suggestions in these genres, do tell.... :)

Thirst- Same director as Oldboy. 8)

Tetsuo: The Iron Man- copious amounts of alcohol probably a necessity to get full effect.

Confessions

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady vengeance- May as well complete the trilogy if you're watching Oldboy

"Pussy."

And lo, the retarded naming scheme continues. You could almost make a chronologically confused video about this series alone. That being said, this was a decent enough sequel. Vin is awesome, and Paul Walker finally dropped the forced "cool" routine. The first half was kind of choppy, but the second half made up for it, IMO.

Wasn't too fond of that one to be honest. The villain was kinda lame and the scene when they're driving through the mountain looked pretty dodgy.

It wasn't anything special, for sure. The plot was basically a remake of 2 just with the whole cast back.

Nah, she has a little more to do this time around. Plus The Rock and Vin go at it, in a beatdown, drag-out fight.

Yeah, that's sounded awesome since I heard about it. I hope that 7 gets back on its feet so we can see Vin and The Rock do double damage on Statham.

El Gringo (2012)

Scott Adkins is cool and all but this kinda sucked. The editing is just weird and off putting. Not to mention terrible at times. It's worth a watch, but I would say Get the Gringo is the better film.

That's the only one of the series I haven't enjoyed. It's when they were starting to move away from street racing to being more broad OTT nutty action movies, but hadn't yet figured out the new formula.

Good story, Anderson was developed nicely we can see her strengthen throughout the movie, not too sold on the actor that played Dredd.  He seemed a little bland compared to Stallone.  Still a good watch.

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

Not as good as Fast Five, but still pretty fun. It got a little slow and plot heavy in the middle, especially Paul Walker's not entirely necessary side quest to LA. Other than that, the only real issue was that the villain was a little meh. The end credits scene was probably my favorite part.

Spoiler
Statham, bitches. One hell of a retcon, but still cool.

Urban was awesome in Star Trek, really just awesome.  Dredd, not so much.  To me.  Stallone was a little more animated, I guess.  There was something missing from Urban, sad because I like the actor.

I haven't seen the Stallone film, but I personally loved Urban in the role. He just had the perfect balance of of over-the-top seriousness and deadpan dry humor that I personally find to be hysterical. When the scene called for something to be played straight he excelled at it, and when he told one of his, erm, 'jokes' I was rolling on the floor laughing.

"Hotshot."

7.5/10


This movie is like taking a journey to an alternate dimension where Prometheus met crazy as f**k Sci-Fi. In the same vein of Forbidden World, this film takes you on a roller coaster of f**king madness. Space Dementia is all around, it's so in your face that you yourself will believe that the dementia has taken over your f**king body. This movie is just pure craze, absolute madness at times. It's also a film whose characters, and the universe, have a rich history that is either implied or never shown. Along the way you do get to understand things, and why they are the way they are. Just all around good sci-fi to be honest. You want wacky shit, you got it, you want some interesting ideas being implemented that you haven't seen in a while, you f**king got it. If you are even considering seeing this movie, I suggest you do so, it's a good ride and you CANNOT be disappointed.

Here is a film that from the get go, you think you are going to get some real basic stuff that you have seen before. You sit down on your chair, or your bed, or your whatever, anything you get comfortable on. So you watch the movie believing this is a run of the mill sci-fi movie, some movie that was clearly overlooked in the past so you just now give it a shot. If you think you have this movie pegged from the beginning, you are dead wrong.

I cannot freaking tell you how insane my mind felt when this movie started to hit its strides. This movie takes you on a f**king adventure that you wish those 1950s Sci-Fi films would have taken you on. Instead of cheese, you get actual characters with f**king depth. Here are characters you understand, here are characters that actually make you f**king care. This movie brings in emotion and drama out of f**king nowhere. I was one of those people that wasn't expecting a whole lot out of this movie, and holy crap was I glad to have watched it tonight, and I am damn happy I was wrong on so many levels. This freaking movie takes such an unexpected turn you will not see coming. I don't think I have seen such an incredible ending that left me not only speechless, but in actual tears. Please watch this movie, if you've seen parts of it before, but didn't give it a chance, then please give it a chance.

This film is such a mind-blowing experience that I actually want to sell you on it. I still can't f**king believe what I witnessed.

Both of the movies Shadow just listed. I share the same sentiments... I know this is vague, but honestly, it was The Black Hole that's rendered me near speechless right now. I can't quite form a proper review, I'm just... it was so... I brought it up to Shadow after Galaxy of Terror (more oddly beautifully captured and obscure Corman cult classic sci-fi), talking about how Joseph Kosinski and Jon Spaihts are working on the remake and were looking to open up on some of the greater themes it touched upon... none of which I knew of or the actual depth they would go to when it turned out Shadow had it on his computer and we started watching it on a whim.

I won't write a review right now so I stay away from unfinished thoughts (something the movie, admittedly does have) and hyperbole, but I'll say this: there is a metaphysical-thematic goldmine to draw from this. No way I could have been prepared for it, what an unexpected marvel. Both of these movies found their audience in me and Shadow tonight.

I'll just sum up The Black Hole with a song right now, because I can't express it through words as I am:

Oldboy (2003)

"Even though I am no better than a beast, do I not have the right to live?"

Utterly fantastic film. It's a revenge story with a genuinely intriguing plot, an interesting hero, and a villain who truly feels like a three dimensional character by the end. The film is dripping with style, with a vivid color palette and great cinematography. it also has a nice quirkiness to it that adds flavor to the proceedings. Also, the hallway fight probably ranks among the best fight scenes in film history. The film is also a great example of how less than stellar source material can be made into a great film. Seriously, the manga sucked about as much as the film is brilliant. Thankfully, Park Chan-wook knew how to make a better story out of the same premise. I can't think of a single thing I dislike about it.

10/10

Dredd: 8.5 out of 10. Really enjoyed it. I had little interest when it hit theaters but ever since have heard only positive things from fans of the Sci-Fi and Action genres. I love how self contained it was. Definitely one of the more brutal films I've seen in recent years.

American Mary: 6 out of 10. Twas more good than bad but overall mediocre. Helped that Katharine Isabelle is gorgeous. I'm a sucked for plots involving chicks taking revenge on men who wronged them but body modification isn't exactly my cup of tea.

The Final Countdown (1980)

Just found out about this after browsing message boards for The Philadelphia Experiment (1984), and it sounded interesting. I wanted to like it, but I was very disappointed. Here was a great premise and potential for the ultimate "what-if" scenario, but the final scenes towards the end ruined everything and made the whole movie utterly pointless. Such a shame, because it was extremely well-made.

The film is dripping with style, with a vivid color palette and great cinematography. it also has a nice quirkiness to it that adds flavor to the proceedings. Also, the hallway fight probably ranks among the best fight scenes in film history. The film is also a great example of how less than stellar source material can be made into a great film. Seriously, the manga sucked about as much as the film is brilliant. Thankfully, Park Chan-wook knew how to make a better story out of the same premise. I can't think of a single thing I dislike about it.

10/10

I do, but mainly for Sam Jackson's hair and naked Elizabeth Olsen. And understand that Sharlto Copley is hilariously bad in it. Still, I'll probably prefer it to the manga. It's kind of a moot point at the moment, since it's not playing anywhere near me. I refuse to pay for the theatrical cut, though, because of the crap the studio pulled on Spike Lee.

The Conjuring   6.5/10

The trailers really spoiled this movie by giving away the outcome of almost every scare, I suppose it's no surprise that my favourite moment involving a child and a doll wasn't shown in the trailers. The Conjuring doesn't have the genuinely creepy atmosphere of films like The Entity or Amityville 2:The Possession, it's more about jump scares. I can't understand why this received rave reviews when similar films get slaughtered even though they are not much worse. Don't get me wrong I did still enjoy The Conjuring but that's mainly because I love haunted house films, there was just nothing that really made it stand out above others...

John Carpenter's Vampires (1998)

James Woods gets to wear a leather jacket and a pair of aviators whist hunting vamps. To say he is a total badass in this is an understatement. One could say JC's last good film was In the Mouth of Madness and that may be true, but he did at least make an attempt with Escape from L.A. and Vampires. It's not a terrible movie at all. The film has a lot going for it. The opening scene with the hunters clearing out a house is one of the film's highlights. They have these Mad Max-esque trucks all geared up with anti-vampire paraphernalia. I'd love to see a company like Shout! Give this a proper remaster with behind-the-scenes material, seeing it's one of the films I know least about, but have always enjoyed what it was trying to aim for.

It is 3:20 AM...just got in after seeing The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Too tired to say anything specific without falling asleep mid-sentence, but the movie was awesome. And Smaug was absolutely insane in all the best ways! :o Omega, you won't be disapointed.

I will say, though. I think that's the last time I go to the midnight showing of an almost three hour movie after a long day of school and work. There were a couple moments where I almost felt like I was going to doze off...didn't, though, and it was so worth it.

The Amazing Spider-Man isn't so much 'bad' as it is terribly by the numbers, generic, and completely unimaginative. If they absolutely had to reboot the series, they should have at least done something different with it (the mystery with Parker's parents should have been much more in the forefront. I'm glad the sequel looks to be expanding on it, although that is honestly probably the biggest thing that I took away from TASM2's trailer. Even seeing the trailer on the big screen in front of The Hobbit did nothing for me). I think the thing that I hated the most about the movie (apart from how unnecessary it felt) was way they dealt with Uncle Ben's death. It didn't have any of the emotional impact of the original.

Man of Steel

Second time seeing it, first time seeing it since theaters, first time actually reviewing it.

Better than the first time? Yes. I'm not even entirely sure what it was the first time around, maybe just being caught-off guard by the oddly filmed action scenes, the whacky pacing, the sometimes cartoonish fights, or questionable editing, but my first impression was a much more bitter one- and I'm not even a Superman fan, nor did I care or know much about the character before going in for the first time.

Might as well get it out of the way- all of the problems I listed above are still there, and there's no getting rid of that. Most prevalent is the poorly captured large scale action, which is either trying to imitate the filming of a handycam that seems to be zoomed in 100% of the time, desperately trying to follow the action, waving around incessantly and rendering everything a blur, or zooming in even more and faster and closer than it has any business being. I will never understand the choice to do that, as it only looks horrible and disruptive. Not only disruptive to viewing and comprehending exactly what you're looking at, but to the CGI work, which in moments more focused can be absolutely beautiful when the scene isn't oversaturated or obscured with a million other things going on at once. Yes, for me, the camera work, digital and real, was the movie's biggest pitfall, and unfortunately, since it's the lens we see it through, it's a major strike against it.

...But what's good? Well, for one thing, its casting is excellent. Henry Cavill is perfect as Superman; the fact that I was actually able to care about him and he wasn't just this flying beacon of manliness, but a genuine human-being despite his otherworldly origin and abilities is a testament to how Cavill plays it, which is soulful, vulnerable, but ultimately strong and resilient in pursuing his goal. That's the best of superheroes, despite the fact that I think this movie actually feels like and works better as a straight-up science fiction movie than a superhero one, which I found easy to forget over the two and a half hour runtime.

On the moral flipside, there's Michael Shannon as Zod, who I notice most people are conflicted about... my question to that is why? I see people saying that he overacted it or he was hamming it up, but of course he was! First thing, it's Michael Shannon, when people cast him, they know he's going to bring that to the role, and second of all, he was pure comic book villain goodness with an actually believable source of amorality due to his very origin and purpose. One of the best scenes in the entire movie to me is his defeat speech as Clark approaches him. He seemed so genuinely crushed and without purpose that I can actually believe his fury and buy the amount of destruction he would seek to cause in the battle following-- if only I could f**king follow it.

As with all of Snyder's big films, the production design is expansive and gorgeous when not in a state of oversaturation, and the sets, suits, and overall aesthetic were, for the most part, great. I don't think I was impressed more than I was with the first establishing shot of Krypton with the large cattle-like creature and beautiful backdrop, completely looking like a real, otherworldly place. At least before the chaos starts. The basic visual foundation that this movie establishes is what I'd like to see more 'out there' sci-fi concept films to adapt, as it doesn't hold back by some desire to feel grounded or fitting to our understanding of 'modern'. It even had a couple scenes and shots that reminded me of Alien (the liquid droplets on the camera as the prison ship lifted off into the Phantom Zone portal in particular) and other sci-fi films with more of an oldschool approach.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Foi39.tinypic.com%2Fejsbc4.jpg&hash=966b464c633cc3ce107545e87f834faed2c5a3ee)
That was my favorite.

To be certain, the movie proposed a good story with a poor script, highlighted by even poorer editing. The scattered and constant flashbacks actually became an annoyance only to further the point that seemingly everyone's dialogue is pointed at which is that Clark's destiny is really important... yeah, we got that the first 15 times, thanks. Whether it was any given character or the grandiose musical score, we got it. This creates little to no breathing room to a movie that already has no sense of humor- at least until the final few scenes where conflict and danger no longer exist.

Therein lies what seems to be the most unanimous criticism against the movie: the pacing is pretty much non-existent, making the whole thing run together as basically one extended action set-piece as Clark zips around from one to the next with almost no time in between. In one quiet moment amidst the chaos before shooting off from the ground to the next dire thing that required his immediate attention, I could almost hear him saying "ᶜᵃᶰ'ᵗ ᵇᵉᶫᶦᵉᵛᵉ ᵗʰᶦˢ ˢʰ⋅⋅⋅" before blasting out of there.

During a lot of the scenes toward the ending (I was going to say action setpiece moments, but that's what the entire third act is comprised of), there are at least five different perspectives that the movie ends up jumping between: Clark, the military carrier plane, the Daily Planet staff, Zod, and Zod's Crew. Three of those comprised of people the unversed viewer, like myself, have no attachment to and can't remember the names of (aside from Lois, who was also aboard the carrier), making them feel redundant as a focal point when they could have just presented their issue and left it to Superman to fix it all, as he eventually does in the nick of time - really, how were we supposed to care about those Daily Planet people?

When he arrives at his next location, it's a new playground with a bunch of elaborately set up sandcastles for him and his friends, who are really his bitter enemies, to destroy without any consequence or attempt to preserve the structure of... or the lives within and around, for that matter. When it's done, nobody really gives a shit, going to work as normal, and flirtatiously offering sporting event tickets. Okay, that was just one guy, but seriously, everybody was fine.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Foi43.tinypic.com%2F2hoh09j.jpg&hash=218c4aa27eca068b0306780744d3e0c0f13126f9)
How f**king romantic.

The whole movie is really beautiful work that's sloppily captured, as is my constant issue with all of Zack Snyder's work. I can never quite tell exactly what he's trying to do or why he's trying to do it; perhaps to his credit, it at least gives his films a sense of identity- you know you're watching a Zack Snyder movie, for better or for worse. For me, I'm still unable to discern the appeal of any movie captured in such a way, so I'll openly admit that I think that discredits me for really saying a word against any fans of his for admiring what he does, which I've been guilty of out of my own confusion. To me, however, it still results in a poorly captured movie, even if it is a spectacularly well made one. I guess this is what people would refer to as a fascinating mess.

All in all though, this movie did improve on a second watch, if not serving mostly as a reminder that I'll never wrap my mind around Zack Snyder's stylistic choices- at least it got me over that bump that managed to thoroughly distract me, above all else, from the overall finer aspects of the movie. It's solid.

I agree with everything you said, Sweeps. Fantastic review!

I've seen all the Superman films and this is the first time I actually cared about the character. I'm not invested in the comics but comparing the actors who have played Superman, Cavill looks good and manages to bring in a decent performance too.

I just wish there was a little more time spent developing characters than all that time spent on blurry, headache-inducing action in the third act. The novelty of the action wears off really quickly because there is just way too much of it.

Man of Steel failed to find a good balance between character moments and action. The visuals (when there was not too much jarry movement - which, sadly, there was a lot of) were beautiful. The suit looked great. The casting was great.

And I still stand by what I said with regards to

Reeve had warmth and humanity, but it felt flat and without any inner-conflict. Cavill's was seen developed thoroughly, which had many bumps for him to overcome while trying not to expose himself before becoming what he had to. To me, Reeve just didn't seem compelling in that sense and therefore he was just a very straitlaced, machismo hero type.

Absolutely.

Spoiler
The instant roar of dismay afterward only further sold it- and besides, what else was he going to do? That was a family, and Zod wasn't going to stop- not there, and at no point after, nor was there any place for him to go. It's definitely character heresey because he's not even set up against it like Batman, whose stance against killing is made explicitly clear in all faithful iterations- he just does his damnedest not to have to do it directly. It really felt like the last step he needed to take.

This was a damn fine thriller with an excellent cast around it. I found myself completely engaged throughout. Robert Redford plays a revolutionary from the 70s hiding out as an attorney in modern day Albany. Soon his world begins to crumble when a nosey journalist begins to probe his past. The movie was an interesting look at 60s and 70s idealism during an era when America was fed up with the government and the war in Vietnam. Recommended.

Exciting, rousing, and epic fantasy work of a master. This expresses what the Hobbit series is truly meant to be and then some... oh f**k this, I can't even do it justice. It seems like one of those movies that I just loved so much that it's pretty much self explanatory, and I'm pretty much due to be echoing everybody else with a long-winded review. I thought it was a marvel from start to finish, beautiful and ceaselessly fun and compelling. Right there, I can already feel it. I'm praising Peter Jackson's Middle-earth. Let me make something clear: the Lord of the Rings trilogy are my favorite films of all time, with anything Middle-earth with Jackson at the helm is due to have a residual effect of love on me. An Unexpected Journey had that, but it didn't exactly have the energetic injection of magic that maintains that same level of love-- this did. That feeling where it's like I'm having some kind of outer-body and I completely forget my surroundings, and I'm just right there with the characters.

I'm just going to stop myself. Yes, right here is where I end. Like The Lord of the Rings, it doesn't call for being analytical, nor some kind of extended examination of themes, developments, or production, and that's the power of Peter Jackson. I can love a movie from start to finish and have the most fun imaginable while doing so, and still write an extensive review (see Pacific Rim or Star Trek Into Darkness of this year), yet neither of those films are a symphony of magical moments and emotions that are so self explanatory and encapsulating that they don't require praise like Jackson's overall work with Middle-earth. I'd have to force myself to critique it, and to just break down everything I loved would be redundant, and by the "end" it would still be insufficient. That's how love often is.

It's been a paragraph since I said I was gonna stop, and no, I'm not going to remove that, because this should be considered a chronicle of my thought process. So I'll say right here is the end.

The Thing is better than The Thing From Another World.
King Kong (2005) is better than King Kong (1933).

But, yes, Maniac is better than the original. ;D

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

I do believe the worst is behind us--
http://replygif.net/i/1049.gif
--What have we done?

Exciting, rousing, and epic fantasy work of a master. This expresses what the Hobbit series is truly meant to be and then some... oh f**k this, I can't even do it justice. It seems like one of those movies that I just loved so much that it's pretty much self explanatory, and I'm pretty much due to be echoing everybody else with a long-winded review. I thought it was a marvel from start to finish, beautiful and ceaselessly fun and compelling. Right there, I can already feel it. I'm praising Peter Jackson's Middle-earth. Let me make something clear: the Lord of the Rings trilogy are my favorite films of all time, with anything Middle-earth with Jackson at the helm is due to have a residual effect of love on me. An Unexpected Journey had that, but it didn't exactly have the energetic injection of magic that maintains that same level of love-- this did. That feeling where it's like I'm having some kind of outer-body and I completely forget my surroundings, and I'm just right there with the characters.

I'm just going to stop myself. Yes, right here is where I end. Like The Lord of the Rings, it doesn't call for being analytical, nor some kind of extended examination of themes, developments, or production, and that's the power of Peter Jackson. I can love a movie from start to finish and have the most fun imaginable while doing so, and still write an extensive review (see Pacific Rim or Star Trek Into Darkness of this year), yet neither of those films are a symphony of magical moments and emotions that are so self explanatory and encapsulating that they don't require praise like Jackson's overall work with Middle-earth. I'd have to force myself to critique it, and to just break down everything I loved would be redundant, and by the "end" it would still be insufficient. That's how love often is.

It's been a paragraph since I said I was gonna stop, and no, I'm not going to remove that, because this should be considered a chronicle of my thought process. So I'll say right here is the end.









MOTHERf**kING SMAU--

So much agreement.
THIS was my favourite trip to Middle earth. Or perhaps until next year?...

I prefer the '76 version to the '05 version. Not to say it's better, I just really enjoy it.

Also disagree about The Ring, but I didn't really care for Ringu, so it's much of a muchness for me.

I have nothing against the classics. I often think they are better than the remakes actually.

But King Kong (1933) just looks incredibly dated and tacky to me. I'm well aware that it was a great cinematic event at the time. But I just can't connect with the movie in any way and don't feel engrossed in it at all.

Not to you but to me it's one of the things that makes the new one better. There's nothing engrossing about the original. Sure, I could have done with a little less CGI in parts of the 2005 film but at least I felt invested in what was happening on screen.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

There's nothing engrossing about the remake. It takes a simple, punchy adventure story and stretched into three meandering hours of vacuous characters and overblown set-pieces that drag on well past tedium. I never thought a 25-foot ape punching dinosaurs could get boring, but dammit if Peter Jackson didn't just go out of his way to prove me wrong.

I agree with you that it is over-long. When a director's cut was released I just thought, "Why???!!!" In the end I guess I just found it more entertaining than watching what may as well be a feature length puppet show.

Erm, no I don't. I was responding to a simple comment without any weight on ONE particular film - Melancholia. I don't even like all of Von Trier's films. He made a silly comment without any weight so I responded with something silly in return.

I wasn't being terribly serious (Remind me I need to plaster my post with  :P :P :P every time I make a facetious comment), but if you want something to get defensive about, you do have a tendency to get dismissive in conversations of people who think arty films are boring -- which makes it strange you'd dismiss a movie simply for being dated.

Summer Wars

Wow, I don't even know what to say, so much went down in those 2 1/2 hours. :laugh: There were so many different emotions I felt through out the whole thing. I laughed, I felt sad, I was exhilarated, just so many things through out, with an actually fun and cute subplot about trying to impress the family of a friend.

One of my favorite things was that it was serious but still managed to have fun with it's story line, and the art was great. One of the few times CG didn't look bad or out of place in a 2D animated film. The characters were all pretty good too, definitely one that hits home if you have a really close family.

Can't wait for the FMA movie next week. 8)

I did enjoy the movie for what it was :P Nothing special, but it was a pretty good movie.

Not as good as the first, but a fine sequel overall. That being said, you can really tell that they had no idea what to do with the bulk of the female cast.

Adventureland

I liked it. Despite it being every Jesse Eisenberg role ever (and so also every Michael Cera role ever) it worked well as an entertaining, endearing period piece. Kristen Stewart is a bit sketchy though. Also could be worth watching solely for Margarita Levieva, because damn.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) (3D & HFR)

First, let me rant. I'm sick of elves, I'm sick of seeing elves and dwarfs swing, jump, fall and everything in between. I'm sick of every scene being turned into a large spectacle of falling stone and of warriors who are more or less invincible. Unfortunately, this movie had much of this. Too much.

Tauriel and Legolas did nothing for me in this movie. The relationship between Kili and Tauriel was okay at best and awful most of the time. The barrel scene had one or two good moments, other than that, it was boring. It's the same as the escape from Goblin Town in the first movie. Any time our heroes can just swing around with the sword in any random angle and take off an orc's head, my interest pretty much drops to zero. There's no weight to it. It doesn't feel real.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F24.media.tumblr.com%2F5ca3373cb3f7c7a3f43cb2c8073021ab%2Ftumblr_mfzlwdMmr61qf4sbho1_500.gif&hash=4dc802ffa7155aab40d08759a565367379c2a981)

Now, with that out of the way, there are quite a few things I liked. Beorn, what little we saw of him, was good. Didn't really care for Persbrandt's accent, but that's a minor problem. I loved that they included the large bees at his house. Would have loved to see him tear into an orc or two. Maybe in the extended cut.

Bard I liked as well. Good acting from Luke Evans and he comes across as a sympathetic character. They are kind of playing the same note with him, Thorin and Aragorn. Everyone have an ancestor whos weakness they are afraid they'll have themself (though in Thorin's case, it might be true).

I liked Mirkwood. It looked great and the spiders were creepy. Lake Town was alright. Not what I had expected, but I'm not disappointed. Gandalf going into Dol Guldur were neither here nor there for me. His confrontation with a certain someone was cool. Liked the fiery shape he took.

Now, the movie had one major thing going for it. Smaug. I f**king loved Smaug. Everything about him was perfect. Everything. The CGI was great, the design was stunning and the movements of his body were well executed. I loved the way his chest glowed before he breathed fire. Cumberbatch owned this role. I was afraid his voice was gonna be too much, after seeing him as Khan. But it was perfect. There's no other word for it. Every minute he was on screen was a pure joy to watch, especially when he was alone with Bilbo.

As for the ending as a whole, well...

Spoiler
Once again, sick of seeing big action scenes like the one we got. However, that last shot of Smaug flying towards Lake Town was gold. Shame the movie cut to an end right there.

...

Kind of agree with you about Legolas and Tauriel. I actually ended up enjoying Tauriel more than I thought I would, but she never really felt necessary and the relationship was pretty forced. And Legolas was just there... I'm hoping his part in the next movie has a bit more weight to it.

Glad to hear you loved Smaug. Three days later and I'm still feeling giddy about the performance.

I'm also really hoping for more Beorn in the Extended Cut. And I think I wound up liking the Dol Guldur stuff a lot more than you did :D

Seems like we share an opinion:

Rating: 3/10

Review:

Spoiler
A very disjointed second part for The Hobbit.

My main complaint is the action scenes. They extend so much the action scenes, the thing gets boring and makes less and less sense...

The elves of Mirkwood. Seriously, Legolas had nothing to do in this story. The sequence with the barrels was fun and creative, but they extend so much and so much the fight against the orcs, the things turns into a borefest of elves decapitating orcs... Seriously 40 less seconds of that or so, would have made the scene more bearable.

The elven love triangle with Kili (IIRC), unnecessary, cheesy and forced. Kili's wound added a little more tension, but that's the word: FORCED. They tried to force romance, they tried to force drama... All of that devalue so much the greatness of Tolkien's work. It's risible.

Then the fight between Legolas and the orcs at the Lake. More boredom. The scene extends so much and leads to nothing. Why? Because it's basically the fight between a character who was not in the book, against a character that never didn't do that in the comic. By the way, all tension and sense is gone, mainly because Bolg can't kill Legolas no matter if he really has the upper hand, because that would create a problem in continuity .__.

Gandalf... OK, filler. Filler filler filler. At least Sauron's appearance was cool. But still worthless filler.

The part I liked the most was Beorn and all the thing at the Lake. That was the part that was well managed. I liked the setting, the results, and Beorn's characterization :D

Thorin's characterization is the same, really good, I like that he's much flawed because of his greed... It's very fine that you can admire his braveness and take him for a hero, but he has also a very dark side... So much, you can't decide if he's a hero or a villain! :D

Again, all those attempts to create more drama, ends up completely unconvincing. I mean, anyone thought they were NOT going to find the keyhole?? If you're going to do that, just make the scene 3/4 shorter!!

The Smaug scenes were very fine. Maybe a little too long, but that gave us the chance to see the dragon for much time. The dwarves fighting Smaug at the forge, was excellent.

The only bad thing is the COMPLETELY FORCED result.
Smaug: I won't let you take anything for me... *Flies away leaving the dwarves with the treasure*.

It's clear they're forcing TOO MUCH the situation. OK, they had things to fill for the extra movie, but seriously, completely forced and unconvincing. Doesn't make sense!!


In my opinion, this movie sucked. Because it's mainly filler material, characters that has nothing to do, unconvincing set-ups, scenes that extend much more than necessary... Everything VERY FORCED. The same way a third movie was force, and seriously, why to make every movie 3 hours 30??


This movie was terrible. The next one has to be terrific for this to be justified. But the best would have this been only 2 movies, or probably 3 movies but 2 hours 30 each, just cut Legolas and Tauriel, discard all the forced plots, cut down the bullshit between Gandalf and Saruman, skip the unnecessary lenghth of dramatic and action scenes...

OK, I guess they introduced the elves because they wanted a smoother and more justified transition to the great Battle of the Five Armies, it's OK. It's just that, I mean, this romance was completely forced. They should have given Tauriel a different motivation, something more believable; and Legolas seriously less screen time, there's no need to see him for 15 minutes "kicking ass" in blatantly filler scenes... And a more believable set-up for Smaug to go destroy the human village, it just didn't make sense!!

If this movie was like 20 or 30 minutes shorter, it would have been the right size

They really devalue because of all that filler and forcefully introduced scenes, and might end being not worthy at all compared to the LOTR movies, that were way better managed :/

The characterizations were OK, and there are a couple highlights in the plot here and there, but all that forced filler were tortuous, and giving it a higher rating would be an insult to good writing... .___.

The Wolverine

I rather enjoyed this movie. The start was absolutely fantastic, and I found the flashback sequences to Nagasaki to be very beautiful. Alas, I feel the film lost its way somewhere in the third act and became a tad ridiculous. None of the antagonists were properly developed, either, with characters seeming to be evil for the sake of being evil. Most notable of this is Yashida, who went from an honourable and grateful man who was not willing to die to a completely selfish egomaniac obsessed with eternal life at the drop of a hat. That being said, Logan is the focus of this film, and it was a great character study of him. Hugh Jackman continues to bring this character to believable life, and the inner turmoil he feels is very powerful.

All-in-all, a very entertaining standalone film which carries on nicely from The Last Stand's ending.

Also, 'dat credits scene.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

I finally got the chance to see this on the big screen. I really liked the first movie and this was, as many have already said, just as good, if not better. The suspense and atmosphere throughout the movie is great. You feel the hatred for the Capital. Katniss suffering from her previous round in the Hunger Games was handled well. She really sold it that the experience has messed her up.

The new characters were great as well. I grew fond of Finn while reading the book and the casting of Sam Claflin was spot on. He's one of those genuinely good characters. Him and Peeta have much in common in that way.

The new arena was interesting. Some cruel traps there. I have seen some complaints directed towards the apes. I don't see why. It was a brutal attack and there was nothing there to criticise, really.

The cast was great, the action was nice, the story had lots of feels to it and the make-up and costumes were utterly fantastic. I loved all of it.

9/10

Godzilla Raids Again

The first Godzilla movie to feature a monster battle and it shows, the battles while fun are not as exciting as some of the later movies and the speeding up of the film to make the monsters move faster during said fights is a nice idea and probably worked back in the late 50's but it makes the movie look a bit goofy and like a sketch comedy where you can just put the Benny Hill theme over it. :P

Saving grace is that it introduces Anguirus who is always awesome and one of the few consistently good things in the Showa films. Probably going to watch King Kong Vs. Godzilla this Thursday since I have no school again. :P

Was more of a comforting viewing. A little voice in the back of my head told me to rewatch it, and I am glad I did. It's simple and effective. Gotta love the score too. Now imagine if John Carpenter made this movie twenty years ago with Kurt as the famous lawman. In many ways it has that old school element to it. It's not overly flashy. It's a dirty, grimy ugly looking film and it f**king works because of it.

Force of Execution (2013)

Bren Foster (Maximum Conviction) is quickly establishing himself as a top tier martial artist in the world of DTV action movies. His moves are quick, precise and have a nice fluidity to them, and he can act! It's only a matter of time before someone puts him up against the current DTV champ Scott Adkins. Now there's a good fight right there.

In this little outing The Fat Lord is a respected crime boss with a sense of honor and justice. He does some mean shit, but nowhere near had the grisly acts done in Machete. Foster's character used to be his right hand man, until they broke them...literally; for botching up job. He's now a stumbling down alcoholic who hangs out with Danny Trejo. Meanwhile, Ving Rhames is a mean ass gangsta called Ice Man (sorry...Mr. Kilmer) just released from prison. He wants to bring The Fat Lord's empire down and take over. As you can guess The Fat Lord dispenses justice via punch, kick, and assault rifle. It all comes together in a beautiful ballet of violence.

Seen it for the first time since the theater. I really liked it a whole lot better this time without the dark 3D. Gorgeous VFX, colors and action. Like a candy store for Kaiju lovers.  ;D

Don Jon (2013)

I really liked it. I'm so glad it didn't play out the way I expected.

Spoiler
With Jon and Barbara ending up together. She was horrible. Jon was no angel, but at least he was a pretty down to earth and likeable guy. But from the moment she opened her mouth and told him she was embarassed he was doing his own cleaning, I couldn't care for her. So when the movie decided to dump her and have Jon engage in a meaningfull relationship with Julianne Moore's character, I was surprised and happy.
[close]

Excellent performances from Joseph Gordon Levitt, Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore.

Biggest movie surprise this year. Definitely worth a look, boys and girls.

King Kong Vs. Godzilla

You know how you and your friends sometimes come up with an idea and it sounds so stupid you only want to do it even more? That's this movie, and god bless it's existence cause I f**king laugh through out the whole run time. The idea is ridiculous, this is when Godzilla started looking derpish as f**k, and Kong looks like a greased up monkey piece of banana shit, but my god is the movie stupidly fun, watch it drunk and with a group of friends to get the best enjoyment out of it.

The Black Hole

Lovely old-school sci-fi film from Disney. Very much gave me original TRON vibes, which is a good thing. Robert Forrester kicked untold amounts of ass in this movie, and (a few robot shenanigans aside) it dealt with some very mature themes and subject matter in a very thought-provoking way. The ending kinda threw me, but as a whole, this was a very good and very enjoyable film. It's also one that I could see very much benefitting from a remake, which makes the rumours of Kosinski's involvement in such a project very interesting.

Think of it as the universe's own justice system, deciding between life and death, good and evil, and ascension and damnation. Then it is incredible. Oh, and the fact that it judges machine as well just adds the thematic juiciness.

Yeah, I got the whole "justice" thing. It was just the experience of having this very Christian afterlife thrown in my face near the end of this movie to be quite jarring. The Hellscape and Hall of Mirrors did look very impressive, but I feel something... different may have overall suited the film more.

Or maybe that's just my 2001-loving self talking.

I liked it more than Chronicles, but Pitch Black is definitely the best of the three. I just think they really underutilized Sackhoff. There was nothing at all that really made her stand out, except for, you know. Dave Bautista's character was actually a lot more fun.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Shasvre on Dec 22, 2013, 04:58:03 PM
Sackhoff looked great, but yeah, they didn't really have much of a character to match that. Shame.

Some of the effects looked under developed. The stuff that was filmed in front of a green screen was pretty obvious. I know, they had a limited budget to work with. Still took me out of the movie a bit. I liked the mercs. The monsters on the other hand felt like a quick side story. If they were going for something similar to Pitch Black, they got the whole thing moving too late and didn't really put any likeable characters in danger.

I hope we get more Vaako in the next one. 8)
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Dec 22, 2013, 05:02:10 PM
Yeah, I'd like to see them delve more into the Underverse stuff next time and bring back Vaako. Wouldn't mind seeing Johns' father return as well. And Toombs from Chronicles 8)

I also agree about the green screen stuff, but I really liked the look of the creatures which made it a bit easier to deal with. Wish there was a bit more build-up to the creature stuff in the third act, but it looked cool, at lest.

Looking forward to getting the film (and the first two) on Blu-ray :)

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

With a more refined script, better acting and better effects, this could've been a good sequel to Verhoeven's film. As it stands, it feels more like a glorified fan-film, with a pair of great tie-ins with the original. Felt sorry for the poor, old, tortured Brain Bug. The God Bug idea was quite neat too. For the rest, eh. Wasted chance; surely this one did try, unlike that other film that damn it does not exist at all.

The Wolverine Unrated Extended Cut

Love this movie. It is the superhero film that I was the least excited for this year, and the only one that didn't disappoint in one way or another. The added ninja fight in the extended cut was all kinds of awesome, too.

Elysium (2013)

This was highly enjoyable. It's a shame I never got to see it in a theater. Neill Blomkamp's eye for world building hasn't lost its touch. The cast was very impressive as well. Matt Damon was good as Max Da Costa, and Sharlto Copley as Kruger...shit, they basically let him go off the rails with that role. The most surprising moment for me was actually Kruger's facial reconstruction. That was pretty f**king cool. :D

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (2013)

Holy f**k.

Hoooooly f**k.

This was simply fantastic. Goddamn I loved every moment of it. Peter Weller makes for an interesting Bruce Wayne/Batman. You can tell he's having a good old time in the sound booth. Remember Michael Emerson from Lost? Well he's the Joker here. It's not an over the top hammy performance either. It's more low key and sinister. And f**k does it work. Got to hand it to whoever chose to cast him as the Crown Prince of Crime. Some of my favorite moments were the ones involving Superman. The conflict between both Batman and Supes is interesting to watch. Remember their final showdown in the graphic novel? Well, it doesn't disappoint here. It would be almost impossible to out due the book. This film isn't as good as the book, but it's one hell of an adaptation that doesn't disappoint.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Dec 26, 2013, 06:42:12 PMHow'd you like it this time? :)

Good question. I suppose it's still a mixed bag for me.

I still love Smaug. I only have one small remark and that's not really criticism of his character. But at one point they comments on how cunning he is and just a few minutes later, they go for the old and clichéd "Over here. No, over here!" trick, which he falls for. It's a shame they had to dumb him down for a second there. Not a major complaint, but very unnecessary.

I liked Tauriel a little more this time. Her monologue about the stars was nice. But the romance with Kili... urgh. Then, of course, there's the fight style. Both her and Legolas are a problem here. Seems like elves are pretty lousy warriors for that matter, except a chosen few. But I think I nailed down what my major problem with a scene like the barrel ride is. It's not the use of CGI, but it's how disgustingly smooth and easy everything looks. Fall down here, stab and orc over there, catch a sword in the air and stab an enemy behind you. It doesn't feel like real fight. It is and looks like a well choreographed stunt (or CGI sequence). Compare it to, let's say, the fight against the Moria goblins in Balin's tomb in FotR. That's how it should be done.

Mirkwood is awesome. I'm very much hoping for some deleted/extended scenes here. I remember seeing a still of Thorin ready to shoot at something with his bow a year or so ago. There is much that could be improved here.

I like pretty much everything with Martin Freeman as Bilbo. It is always a joy to watch him interact with Ken Stott's Balin. That's going to make that scene in FotR that much more powerful. Luke Evans as Bard was good. I liked that they made him a family man. There's not really that many of them in the movies. Looking forward to seeing him deal with Smaug in the next movie. I expect some mocking words coming from Smaug about Girion, before Bard shows him who's boss.

Gandalf coming face to face with You-Know-Who was great as well.

Also, I remember talking to OmegaZilla and some others about Beorn's iron bracelet. I checked and he had it on just after changing back to human form. Doesn't really make sense, but it's an easy thing to miss, I guess. Here's hoping for some extended scenes at Beorn's house as well.

I agree with most of your criticisms, Shasvre. I think everyone is pretty much in consensus that the Kili/Tauriel romance was terrible. I had no problem with Kili having feelings like that (echoes the Gimli/Galadriel thing from LotR), but Tauriel seemingly returning the feelings... yech.

I disagree that the fights should've been more like the LotR ones, at least here. I feel that's be a bit too brutal and gritty for the films, at least this early on. I felt the choreographed feel worked here.

I'm fully expecting it to be more of a brawl and less of a dance once the Five Armies show up, though.

It's just weird; they've added all this stuff in to try and make it more like LoTR in tone (making a conscious choice to go above and beyond a simple adventure) and yet do stuff like this to shoot themselves in the foot in said attempt.  :-\

Back on Christmas Eve night:

Scrooged : Bill Murray plays this role perfectly. One of my all time favorite Holiday movies for all time. Interesting to note all the famous actors in it too! "The Day The Reindeer Died" at the beginning seems to get better every year and I would LOVE for someone to make that an actual show one day! Danny Elfman's score is yet another masterpiece as well. 10/10

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation : Where to begin? From the beginning animated sequence to the final scene of Clark and Snot this movie will NEVER be topped (until the day comes where they FINALLY release the Director's Cut/Uncut version). Also, this year I noticed something (as in a possible deleted scene could explain) when and how did Clark put the Reindeer/Santa/Sleigh on the garbage curb? I know he kicked them and karate chopped the Reindeer, but they are clearly burned/destroyed when you see them on the curb... interesting, no? This timeless classic NEVER gets old and I wait only until Dec. 24 late night to watch these movies, can't wait to watch it yet again next year. Merry Christmas! Sh!tter was full!  :laugh: INFINITY/10

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Ugh!

Maybe 30 minutes of actual plot stretched almost intolerably to two and a half hours of screen time. Everything with Tauriel was a waste of time. Every damn second. They wrote her in because there weren't enough "strong" female characters -- or, really, any female characters. Okay. Cool. But this is not a strong character. "Strong" does not equate to "Capable of murdering people". She's certainly that, and in spades, but when she's not being Legolas in a skirt -- which, let's face it, is hardly a change in the first place -- she's trapped in a dopey love triangle and spends most of the movie chasing after a dwarf she just met who looked at her nicely.

This, regardless of gender, is fairly the image of a weak, vapid character. She exists as a love interest who can shoot things. She serves no actual function to the plot. In a movie that's already too long, her addition is simply aggravating.

I've felt that ever since King Kong, Peter Jackson's lost whatever it is he had with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. His three epic films seem to have convinced him that quality is directly proportional to running time. Action scenes drag on and lose tension. We're subjected to lengthy scenes of characters interacting which provide little for the story. The plot stalls and we're left watching, almost exclusively, two secondary characters say exposition at each other. Our leads are already paper thin, we have neither the time nor the interest to watch largely inconsequential background characters develop.

It's pretty, and it's technically well-accomplished, but it's a long, needlessly drawn out mess that could've been at least half an hour shorter.

Still one of the best and most accomplished sequels out there. Not only a special effects spectacle, but a strong character driven narrative. It could have used more Sarah Conner monologues, I felt. It's a shame they were only used so sparingly.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

This movie was hilarious. Equally as funny as the first film. Maybe even funnier. I don't know. All I know is my abdomen is sore from laughter. My cheeks are cramped from grinning too furiously. My knee is red from the thorough slapping that I gave it in the theatre. There was a certain point in the movie (I think around where John C. Reilly appears as the ghost of Stonewall Jackson) where I simply could not laugh anymore. I was exhausted, spent, there was no laugh left in my tank of hilarity. I feel physically drained from this experience. I think I did the cardio-equivalent of a half-marathon by sitting through these two-odd hours of comedy.

Highly recommended. Especially if you enjoyed the first one.

Technically a six-part half hour series (OVA), but played together it felt much more like a movie than anything else. Good Christ. From the first three episodes, I would have never expected it would get that absorbing, beautiful, and poignant. The sci-fi themes are truly epic in scope and creativity, and the visuals are nothing short of spectacular to support it. The main character of Noriko is great, and her arc is even better, though it's not secret that she perhaps cries a bit too much- but that's where I have to think about the emotional response that she processes as a 17-18 year-old girl coming back to Earth to see her best friend 15 years senior and with a two year old child after what was a 6 month journey for her. The only thing I've experienced that does this, and at this level of quality, has been Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, which I believe Hideaki Anno was largely influenced by for this.

Of course, extreme time dilation isn't the only thing that is weighing against her- she's inexperienced, emotional, and not naturally gifted as so many around her seem to be, so when she drops the ball when given life-or-death responsibilities, the ramifications of that also serve as incredibly saddening for her. Unlike Evangelion with Shinji Ikari, this isn't a part of her character when we meet her and nothing deeply rooted in her psyche; she learns to persevere, take a hold of her situation without being self-damaging, and rise to the occasion, and you cheer for her every step of the way. The whole story is very heartwarming, melancholic, and overall heavy right to the conclusion, which is absolute perfection. People get down on the final episode for being in black and white and having moments of still, [beautifully] pencil-drawn images in order to spare the budget (what seems to be a Gainax, and more specifically Hideaki Anno owned trope), but the perfect placement of those images, the effectiveness of the black and white, the new-found widescreen format (the first and only time the series uses it), and the overall beauty of the ending and visual concepts make it a work of sheer greatness.

The vacuum combat is often brief, chaotic, detailed, and visceral, which again calls upon the tone that The Forever War takes. This really clicked in a scene that had Noriko trying to keep track of her enemy in order to cover her current partner, who she's also lost track of, and we're isolated to her view, showing how frenzied and seemingly impossible it is for somebody who can't keep up with the situation- which goes for the audience, who becomes focused on Noriko's emotional response, which effectively creates a link of anxiousness. When the attack is cancelled, and the Fighting Suits are automatically recalled to the home ship, Noriko only catches a glimpse of her partner's broken, battered, and torn apart Suit, an event that was never actually shown, and his death isn't even visually confirmed outside of her following response. Things like this are so precisely the stamp of Hideaki Anno, whose dramatic style and flair is so disarming, distinctive, and hauntingly resonant.

On the topic of writer/director Anno, the amount of Evangelion, which he would go on to create eight years after, present in this is astounding to see develop. To be certain, Evangelion is a much darker, metaphysical, metaphorically involved tale, but to see his style (this was his directorial debut) bloom in such an incredible fashion that would feed into and expand in later projects is nothing short of a fascinating pleasure. On top of The Forever War, there are influences reaching to Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and older classic sci-fi/mecha anime series of varying styles and genres- this may catch some off-guard at times, as well as some of the female nudity, which translates less as fan-service as it isn't reveled in outside of a single instance in the second episode, and more as women that don't worry about being nude around each other, as would be a common occurrence in any military scenario. It's certainly not the "huh?" inducing material as was present in the early Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes, as per network expectation (and we all know what happened when they chose to stray from that: $). To round the point, Anno, especially with his full creative freedom, transcending budget, does not fail to create an animated sci-fi masterpiece.

To briefly touch upon design, the influences are huge-- there's shades of ALIEN, 2001: A Space Odyssey (not the same way as Evangelion had), Star Wars, and other sci-fi (specifically space opera, drawing largely from the work of Chris Foss and Ron Cobb). The space monsters that they fight (which are simply classified as 'Space Monsters') are insect-like with a hive structure that lives in the vacuum of outer space, born from the hearts of stars, which is where they form their nests-- the believed area of origin being the galactic center. I'm sure OmegaZilla would love to check these guys out, they're fantastically other worldly both in their vague cosmic origins, obscure structure, and biological functions and appearance.

This is an easy recommendation to any fan of science fiction, particularly an effective, resonant space opera that fills the gaps in sciences we haven't yet developed in interesting, thorough, and seemingly plausible ways. The story is a full, rewarding arc that was so gratifying to see close that at the ending, I had tears welling up. It's emotionally gripping, satisfying, haunting, fun, humorous, honest, and utterly beautiful. A classic without a doubt to be had.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)


Hadn't seen this before, and in fact, I'm not overly familiar with Burtons' work (his only film that I've seen more than once is The Nightmare Before Christmas).

I was pleasantly surprised by the film overall as I wasn't expecting much from it other than some decent aesthetic choices, which were definitely there in spades. Although the CG was weak in places, it worked well enough for most of the film and I felt the cartoony look was a good choice.

As far as design goes, the backdrops were of course excellent for the most part, and I especially liked the Red Queens' card-soldiers. The Jabberwocky fight was visually pleasing too, which is more than can be said for most CGI-fests.

As for the plot, I liked the semi-original combination of strands from both Alice in Wonderland and Through Looking Glass, and the theme of Alice slowly regaining her memories of her previous visit to Underland. It wasn't exactly deep or thought provoking, but that's fine as it really didn't need to be either of those things. Good fun, all told, and much better than I expected it to be.

6.5/10

To be certain, Evangelion is a much darker, metaphysical, metaphorically involved tale, but to see his style (this was his directorial debut) bloom in such an incredible fashion that would feed into and expand in later projects is nothing short of a fascinating pleasure. On top of The Forever War, there are influences reaching to Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and older classic sci-fi/mecha anime series of varying styles and genres- this may catch some off-guard at times, as well as some of the female nudity, which translates less as fan-service as it isn't reveled in outside of a single instance in the second episode, and more as women that don't worry about being nude around each other, as would be a common occurrence in any military scenario. It's certainly not the "huh?" inducing material as was present in the early Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes, as per network expectation (and we all know what happened when they chose to stray from that: $). To round the point, Anno, especially with his full creative freedom, transcending budget, does not fail to create an animated sci-fi masterpiece.

To briefly touch upon design, the influences are huge-- there's shades of ALIEN, 2001: A Space Odyssey (not the same way as Evangelion had), Star Wars, and other sci-fi (specifically space opera, drawing largely from the work of Chris Foss and Ron Cobb). The space monsters that they fight (which are simply classified as 'Space Monsters') are insect-like with a hive structure that lives in the vacuum of outer space, born from the hearts of stars, which is where they form their nests-- the believed area of origin being the galactic center. I'm sure OmegaZilla would love to check these guys out, they're fantastically other worldly both in their vague cosmic origins, obscure structure, and biological functions and appearance.

This is an easy recommendation to any fan of science fiction, particularly an effective, resonant space opera that fills the gaps in sciences we haven't yet developed in interesting, thorough, and seemingly plausible ways. The story is a full, rewarding arc that was so gratifying to see close that at the ending, I had tears welling up. It's emotionally gripping, satisfying, haunting, fun, humorous, honest, and utterly beautiful. A classic without a doubt to be had.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Interesting story for the most part, Bilbo's character developed quite well especially toward the end when he came to the rescue of Thorin against Azog.  Ian Holm as old Bilbo was a nice touch.  The Goblin tunnel scenes were a little lame, IMHO, with the exception of Bilbo & Gollum.  Nice ending, predictable but still nice. 

8/10

Spoiler
Technically a six-part half hour series (OVA), but played together it felt much more like a movie than anything else. Good Christ. From the first three episodes, I would have never expected it would get that absorbing, beautiful, and poignant. The sci-fi themes are truly epic in scope and creativity, and the visuals are nothing short of spectacular to support it. The main character of Noriko is great, and her arc is even better, though it's not secret that she perhaps cries a bit too much- but that's where I have to think about the emotional response that she processes as a 17-18 year-old girl coming back to Earth to see her best friend 15 years senior and with a two year old child after what was a 6 month journey for her. The only thing I've experienced that does this, and at this level of quality, has been Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, which I believe Hideaki Anno was largely influenced by for this.

Of course, extreme time dilation isn't the only thing that is weighing against her- she's inexperienced, emotional, and not naturally gifted as so many around her seem to be, so when she drops the ball when given life-or-death responsibilities, the ramifications of that also serve as incredibly saddening for her. Unlike Evangelion with Shinji Ikari, this isn't a part of her character when we meet her and nothing deeply rooted in her psyche; she learns to persevere, take a hold of her situation without being self-damaging, and rise to the occasion, and you cheer for her every step of the way. The whole story is very heartwarming, melancholic, and overall heavy right to the conclusion, which is absolute perfection. People get down on the final episode for being in black and white and having moments of still, [beautifully] pencil-drawn images in order to spare the budget (what seems to be a Gainax, and more specifically Hideaki Anno owned trope), but the perfect placement of those images, the effectiveness of the black and white, the new-found widescreen format (the first and only time the series uses it), and the overall beauty of the ending and visual concepts make it a work of sheer greatness.

The vacuum combat is often brief, chaotic, detailed, and visceral, which again calls upon the tone that The Forever War takes. This really clicked in a scene that had Noriko trying to keep track of her enemy in order to cover her current partner, who she's also lost track of, and we're isolated to her view, showing how frenzied and seemingly impossible it is for somebody who can't keep up with the situation- which goes for the audience, who becomes focused on Noriko's emotional response, which effectively creates a link of anxiousness. When the attack is cancelled, and the Fighting Suits are automatically recalled to the home ship, Noriko only catches a glimpse of her partner's broken, battered, and torn apart Suit, an event that was never actually shown, and his death isn't even visually confirmed outside of her following response. Things like this are so precisely the stamp of Hideaki Anno, whose dramatic style and flair is so disarming, distinctive, and hauntingly resonant.

On the topic of writer/director Anno, the amount of Evangelion, which he would go on to create eight years after, present in this is astounding to see develop. To be certain, Evangelion is a much darker, metaphysical, metaphorically involved tale, but to see his style (this was his directorial debut) bloom in such an incredible fashion that would feed into and expand in later projects is nothing short of a fascinating pleasure.

Okay. Okay, yes. Okay.

I should watch this.
I think if you can get past the first episode (basically just training on Earth with a pretty typical high school anime drama feeling) and the lead character having the emotional fragility of a fine china in a bull pen (analogy makes more sense than I intended it to), then you'll really like, if not love it.

Be sure to watch the Science Lesson shorts associated with each part after each episode ends, they 2-3 minute little segments explaining the sciences created for the series while relating them to real scientific practices and studies, with the three main characters presenting it in a loosely animated, cute kind of style that I found to be a fast and charming way of doing it.

Wow, that was...disappointing. The first half of the movie I pretty much only laughed once, and Steve Carell's character was just plain annoying, all he did was scream. The second half of the movie was picked up though, and had some great scenes (the fight scene with all the cameos, they even had Liam Neeson), but it still didn't really save the movie, which was just uncomfortably not funny at times. If the first Anchorman was movie gold (It's one of my all time favorite comedies), then Anchorman 2 is movie copper.

Plowed through some Christmas presents.

The Quatermass Xperiment

I've been wanting to see this (And Quatermass and the Pit) for a long time but had never been able to get my hands on it. This is basically everything that was right with 50s sci-fi and, somewhat limp climax notwithstanding, just about nothing that was wrong with it. An intriguing idea, a steady pace, steadily mounting tension, and to top it off all of the stupid characters are effectively done away with by the start of the second act.

It doesn't even suffer from "I want to see the monster but know I'll regret it" like, say, X, The Unknown -- some (all but literally) in-your-face wires aside the monster was suitably disgusting and well made. Fake, certainly, but not to the point it draws you out of the movie to make a note of it.

If you're a fan of 50s sci-fi movies or creature features in general, it's a must-see. The Blu-Ray transfer is a thing of beauty.

There's no place for emotion in science/10

Quatermass II

The inevitable sequel honestly isn't as bad as I would've expected. Hell, it wasn't bad, period. I had never read much on the film and didn't know what the general consensus was outside of "The author really didn't like Brian Donlevy as Quatermass and was upset he was back again this time around", but it was the 50s and long before people started giving a flying damn about making sequels that were actually watchable.

It lacks the energetic pace of the original, and takes a bit longer to really get to the point, but it's still one of the better examples of the genre. The climactic monster is slightly more convincing this time, keeping the same theme of "disgusting amorphous blob" from the previous film, right up until it starts to move around, at which point it gets pretty laughable pretty quickly. Mercifully there's only really one or two shots of the thing moving. Otherwise it stands in place and looks generally unpleasant.

Seeing as this and X, The Unknown come packaged as "special features" on The Quatermass Xperiment's Blu-Ray/DVD set I'ma just recommend to check it out once you've got the pack.

At least this one doesn't have wire-controlled tentacles/10

Quatermass and the Pit

I'm aware that the creator of Quatermass didn't like Brian Donlevy's portrayal, but after watching the first two movies I'd grown kind of attached. Him not being here hardly hurts the film, but I was liking Donlevy. That being said, this doesn't really have any continuity with the previous movies, so it's an easy change to swallow. The events of those films aren't mentioned and none of the other characters return. It doesn't seem to have been intended as a follow-up outside of featuring Quatermass and being based on one of the earlier BBC serials.

I don't know what I make of it. I'd say it's a better film than Quatermass II, but I'd also say it suffers even more with the problems that became endemic in this genre. The set-up doesn't have the punch it should. It moves slowly. It seems to drag its feet in places, and yet I don't see how it could go any faster. The previous two movies had the authorities believing the evidence presented and trying to help, here they're needlessly dismissive caricatures.

Once the shit, at length, finally hits the fan, I sort of lost interest. The idea of trying to find a scientific explanation for withcraft, demonism, etc. is an interesting one, but I didn't like its handling here. The demonic visage of one of the aliens being rendered out of pure energy was about as close as I thought the film got to doing something I liked with the concept, but that made maybe the last fifteen minutes of the film. Too little, too late.

At least, for me.

It deserves its place in sci-fi cinema history. It's not bad by any stretch. But I think maybe my expectations had been set a little high simply because of how often I'd read about it in books on sci-fi and horror movies. I expected great. All I got was good.

Which is hardly a major complaint.

Seriously, those cricket Martian things are less convincing than the wire-puppeted tripe monster from the original movie/10

47 Ronin (2013)

Keanu Reeves should stop acting. No, seriously he can't act his way out of a paper bag if all the lives of Earth hung in the balance. We're f**ked if it ever comes to that. After their Lord is betrayed, 47 Samurai become 'Ronin' – Samurais without a master. They vow to avenge their Lord and thus begins a rather uninteresting quest to kill the evil Lord from a rival province. This would almost be better had they not included the mystical elements to it, i.e. witches, giants, and other crazy shit. Reeves is supposed to be some half-breed human/demon with magical powers but they hardly touch on that. It's more of a wasted opportunity. I think the reason why they all commited mass suicide at the end, wasn't because they had to, but because they were embarrassed to have acted in this sad little film.

Inside Llewyn Davis

Joel and Ethan Coen's most recent cinematic piece. I think this almost goes without saying, but this was a very good movie. A two-punch of great humour and crushing emotion in classic Coen style. It follows a few days in the life of fictional folk singer Llewyn Davis in 1961, as he couch-crashes around New York City, surviving until his next gig. The cast in this was fantastic, and the music was beautiful.

American Hustle

I'll be brief: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, god-tier, Jennifer Laurence until she finally got serious, was woeful. Seen some complaints for Renner, but I think he did a fine job with the kind of guy he was portraying, who was a guy doing shady business but for what he genuinely believed to be (and really was) the greater good as honestly as possible. I think it's a given that Bale is going to be amazing these days, and he was no exception here. Really solidifes him as a character actor of great range, and he always gives a really intense performance without managing to overshadow the actors opposite to him.

Bradley Cooper was playing a guy who desperately wants to be the guy he is in a lot of his movies, and that was both hilarious and interesting to watch- I like when an actor plays against type and pulls it off unironically. Biggest surprise for me was Amy Adams, who I've only seen glimmers of this side of in The Fighter, another great David O. Russell film, and coming off of seeing her in Man of Steel where she just couldn't pull off the spunky snarker... wow. She actually blew me away, playing a complex, cool, nuanced, smart, and absolutely sexy femme fatale, picking me up right as I was rolling my eyes at the lack of stand out female roles in American film as of late with an impactful female lead who does more than exist to draw tears, be the damsel, or act quirky, whereas animation and television has them all over. Not only was it my favorite female performance of the year, but one of my favorite original female characters of the past couple years in film alongside Maya of Zero Dark Thirty. Any nominations she and the aforementioned actors gain are well deserved recognition.

And then there's Jennifer Lawrence... allow me to sigh. I should have picked up from the trailers and clips that this was going to happen, and I kind of did, but I didn't want to believe it. Really, for the vast majority of the movie, she's playing a highly annoying, loud, obnoxious, quirky Brucklin Garl. That's "Brooklyn Girl", to be translated. Yes, a lot of that is what the role called for, but aside from the last bit, that's also what Bradley Cooper played... but it was unironc. Here, it just feels like Jennifer Lawrence playing herself with a bipolar disorder as she constantly slips in and out of a Brooklyn accent that she can't seem to maintain when a certain range has to be reached. I found her to be the worst thing about the movie, but then suddenly she got serious and dropped the whole "look at me I'm so quirky, good old Jennifer routine" and showed off some real dramatic depth, if only for a few scenes (toward the end: bathroom, bedroom, for those who have seen the movie). Maybe I'm just really burnt out of everybody thinking she's just the coolest person because she's quirky, I don't know, but I much prefer her in serious roles. Oh, and she's nominated for a Golden Globe for this.

Oh god, I just noticed how much of this review I just devoted to bitching about her... anyways, before I finish commenting on the actors, I just want to say how much I loved seeing Louis C.K. in here and how great it was seeing him not playing the funny guy at all, yet managing to be the funniest part of the movie. That's Louis C.K. for you. He had awesome natural chemistry with Bradley Cooper in every scene they were in together, and my god did that end up going some places I never expected- a certain standoff between the two had me laughing incredibly hard. He was basically the perfect guy to come into a drama and manage to steal the comedic side of things without making a single joke- I hope to see him in more films of this sort. On the directing and writing side, like with Bale's wonderful acting, it goes without saying that David O. Russel delivers both rock solid direction, taking some cues from both Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino in this one, and a great script for the actors to have their fun with. He truly knows how to unlock his actors' potential, getting a certain primal instinct in them going that a weaker director wouldn't be able to get a glimpse of. This sometimes includes scolding them intensely (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6j28a_lily-tomlin-fights-with-director_fun), but hey, potential unlocked, y'know? I guess the miscast of Jennifer Lawrence was more of a safecast on his part, seeing as she did solid work for him last year in Silver Linings Playbook and she's since become 'that quirky girl'. I'm sorry, I'm back on that again, I'll stop.

All in all, it's a great movie for anybody who wants some groovy 70's undercover con-work featuring an interestingly complex set of characters along with a heart conditioned con-man, sexy femme fatale, greaseball FBI agent, Mexican Sheikh, and bipolar urban princess. I loved it.

I'm not really sure I get your complaint about Jennifer's quirky attitude/personality, Sweeper. Do you mean the way she acts in films? Because the ones I've seen (Hunger Games, Silver Linings Playbook, Winter's Bone, X-Men), she's doing very well in serious roles. Or do you mean the way she is in interviews and so on? If so, I don't really see the problem. That's just the way she is. Haven't noticed it affecting her acting before either.

It's her trying to do comedy. It's basically just her being like she is in interviews but turning it up x10. She obviously exaggerates for interviews though, the quirkiness thing enough to get her agent a hard-on. She was hardly like that pre-Hunger Games, or hell, pre-Silver Linings Playbook (and the win). It's why that's just about every quote of hers in a magazine spread or theater pre-show fact lineup is something absurdly unimportant and 'normal' in an attempt to be the quirkiest thing or still talking about how she's considered "fat in Hollywood", a year after the whole Hunger Games BS.

She's always been humble, yeah, but the quirks came from her just being all overwhelmed when really this stuff is day-to-day life for her now, and that deal is all over this role with an incoherent Brooklyn accent. I just feel like she's lost that charm completely to the point where it's just... well, annoying. I'm not condemning you or anybody for finding her to seem normal, but I just find the whole PR thing to be incredibly transparent.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Shasvre on Dec 30, 2013, 08:32:38 AM
Well, I can't really comment on that, because I never read/watched any interviews before she appeared in the Hunger Games, so I wouldn't know.

As for the PR, I would guess it's a mix of both. Sure, turned up a bit perhaps, but not all of it, I would think. I can understand if some people find it to be a bit too much though. Especially if it is like you say, turned up quite a notch in this film.

Still looking forward to the movie. Lawrence wasn't the big draw for me for this anyway. Mostly because of the whole "Brooklyn" thing. It was hard enough to watch in Don Jon. :laugh: (Speaking of which, did you see that one? What did you think?)

That's one I missed unfortunately, I was wanting to see it but, like Gravity (SOMEf**kINGHOW) it got away from me.  :'(

Scarlett seemed to be pulling to accent off really well though. The accent itself I actually find pretty funny and I have fun imitating it constantly as well as varying east-coast variations, but it's really grating when an actor can't keep it up or find the tone that makes them stop sounding like a cartoon...  :laugh:

As awesome as I think she is, I'm not excited about her role in American Hustle.

I thank my Charlize appreciation for introducing me to Jennifer Lawrence in The Burning Plain, which was an excellent film. Watch it if you haven't seen it. It's a serious role for Jennifer Lawrence and her, Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger are all brilliant.

Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero

Don't care for it and Godzilla's victory dance does not save it, even if it's stupidly hilarious.

Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster

Shit.

Son of Godzilla

There's only two ways a monster movie sequel with son in the title can go. It could be the baby monster grown up going on a rampage, or it can be this. As a kid having only heard the title I was hoping it was the former. No such luck, it f**king sucks, and Minya is always a terrible monster with a terrible design. :P

Destroy All Monsters

Now this is more like it. 8)

Nothing but over the top destruction through out with a final battle involving various monsters giving King Ghidorah a well deserved kaiju eqivalent of a gang land beating.

I love how so many of the devices and scenes in that movie can be identified purely by the distinctive noises they emit. Incredible amounts of repeat viewings help as well, I suppose.

...

Yeah, that's one of my all-time favorite movies.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

Oh yes, this movie demands multiple viewings. I'm not gonna lie, some of the stuff towards the end went a bit over my head (mostly because I just was not expecting the direction that it went, like at all), but piecing it together afterward is making for a really intriguing experience.

And I agree completely about the noises. The use of sound in the film was amazing. I was immediately drawn in by how quiet the film was, so whenever there was a distinctive sound it left a huge impact.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Eva on Dec 30, 2013, 10:09:14 PM
No Country Of Old Men is one of those distinguished movies that just keep getting better with each viewing. The only thing that still seems a bit distracting to me, is Josh Brolins character hooked up with a young woman with such a pronounced Scottish accent. It just comes across as odd every time I re-watch it. :D

The Family (2013)

Robert De Niro's ex-gangster with family is re-located to Normandy, France. They try to live an ordinary life, but their mafia ways get in the way. I actually really liked this. Nothing spectacular about the story or characters, but it was well done and well played. I thought for sure they were going to go more for the comedy, but it was pretty brutal at times.

@ Eva I watched Elysium twice in the cinemas, still haven't watched the bluray, need more of those cut scenes with Kruger in them, I'll admit the films a little weak, but the production design and Sharlto save it for me.

I also watched Saving Mr Banks, it's as sugary in places as you'd expect, the movie had me craving more about Walt because he is such an interesting person, and hanks does a great job as Walt, I also never realised that P.L travers was Australian.

Well, Pixar is a pretty safe bet so I'd never shy away from that, but I was thinking I was one of the few Disney fans in general around here.  :D Animation lovers seem like a kinda niche group on here to me for whatever reason, I know people often see the movies, but it's hard to really talk animation in general, be it the creative process or the advanced storytelling they're capable of.

Anyways, I'll highly recommend Frozen to any Disney fans; it's the best American animated film to come out in the past two-three years.

Quote from: Space Sweeper on Dec 30, 2013, 10:45:06 PMI rarely write reviews for animated movies up here though, as I know it's not exactly the audience to be preaching to.  :D

I think most of us here are fans of both Disney and Pixar though. ;)
Well, Pixar is a pretty safe bet so I'd never shy away from that, but I was thinking I was one of the few Disney fans in general around here.  :D Animation lovers seem like a kinda niche group on here to me for whatever reason, I know people often see the movies, but it's hard to really talk animation in general, be it the creative process or the advanced storytelling they're capable of.

Anyways, I'll highly recommend Frozen to any Disney fans; it's the best American animated film to come out in the past two-three years.

Totally agreed, I even liked it better than Despicable Me 2.  I'm always up for a good animated story, the warm fuzzies with a few giggles  :)

The Congress from this year is half live-action and half animated.

Here are images to give you an idea of what to expect from the animated portion of the film:

If The Congress was animated from start to finish (and not just half of it), I would say that's my favourite animated film of the year.

And there are some hilarious "cameos" from celebrities and icons in the animated portion but it never detracts from the movie's beautiful experience.

It's a shame because it's the most unique thing I've seen all year.

The movie has its flaws in terms of the story but the story does work for the most part and it's beautiful, engrossing and heartbreaking all at the same time. It's a high-concept sci-fi drama.

Robin Wright is amazing to watch and when it switches to the animated portion, her voice still carries her beautiful performance across. There is an amazing monologue by Harvey Keitel in the film when Robin Wright is busy being scanned.

Highly recommended to anyone with an open mind and an appreciation for beautiful animation and acting.

Hmmm, I think Monsters University is the only one I've watched in the theater this year. Was perfectly OK, but it feels like Pixar has gone a bit stale lately. Three sequels out of four features released since 2010? :-\

Seconded. Up was their last good 'un for me.

I agree with the general buzz around Frozen. Though I have to say the soundtrack didn't grab me, nor did the seemingly over-rated (for me) 'Let it Go'. A good song, sure, but it felt to me more like a pop princess over something that belongs in a Disney classic, unless that was intended. I admit I'm unsure as to what I'd have preferred but still, it just didn't grab me, personally.

Holy f**king shit, Marty and Leo did it again. Great, great movie. It's funny as hell, and hardly ever lets up for nearly three hours. I loved every minute, and the performances were all tons of fun. My favorites were McConaughey's brief role and Rob Reiner as "Mad" Max. I can't wait to see it again, and I'll be grabbing the blu-ray (hopefully the NC-17 cut) ASAP.

Welp, then. I'd already been feeling a little down today. This movie did not help in the least. Dark, bleak, and depressing, but very, very good. The story is a bit daft, but the cinematography and acting sell this thing. Every member of the cast was fantastic, with Jake Gyllenhaal standing out the most for me.

It went something like:

1. Meet as children
2. Marry
3. Grow old together

No, she just died before he surprised her with the trip they'd been dreaming of and working for their entire lives. In a 4 minute clip we're propelled through first love, tragedy, infertility and heartbreak, finding optimism through all this in their shared dream, old age, a chance to fulfill the dream that has been a constant source of encouragement throughout their struggles, and just as he's about to surprise her with it she dies.

That's not sad at all, because hey, she's old.

Monsters University - 9/10
Spoiler
First off I would like to say I adore this movie, it has to be one of my favorite Pixar movies ever. I love the doing what you want to do with your life plot more then getting the human girl out of the monster world plot. This movie, as corny as it sounds spoke to me personally. I may be looking into this to much but I pretty much 100% relate to Mike in this movie. I understand the... doing what you want to do but being limited by your body type or physical appearance. It made me really sad seeing Mike trying so hard but being knocked down by that bitch of a teacher. But despite his ex friend f**king him over and being told by just about everyone besides a small group of friends he will fail because he is just not meant for it really made him that more relatable.
At the moment were you just suspect he will prove everyone wrong about him in that scaring competition and he wins you think (at least I did) that that was the end but really it was rigged, that just about broke my heart.
There was a moment were he accepts that he will never do what he wants and that got me really down.  Happy that the ending showed despite all the failure and mistakes that he got to do what he wanted all along. I only hope that that kind of luck happens to me.

Oh god, it was so f**king good (whimpering) but I just don't have the energy to do a review right now. Funniest movie I've seen all year; hard, dark comedy to lengths I truly didn't see coming. The entire cast is a handful of aces, Leo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie (one of the sexiest women playing one of the sexiest characters ever)... Jesus they were all so incredible. The entire audience was laughing the whole way through, and I was laughing along with them- and it wasn't even forced laugher, but full-on hard laughter. Of course this is a result of Scorsese's goddamn impeccable directing and style which never lets up over the course of three hours that feel like two. A different breed of crime epic.

I never quite got as a kid how really dark this film is (though it retains that usual Disney optimism and utopian imprint), behind the covers; now children films tend to be all pillows and flowers, but back int he day they didn't need to be; this is what I call a great cartoon.

That was the first paperback that I read cover to cover as a child.  Great film and paperback :)  Movies have changed over the decades for sure. Back in the day, schools made the kids watch classics like Old Yeller.  I used to hate watching Old Yeller because it was sad, but the teachers explained that it was to teach kids that life can be hard. 

Was this the original 101 Dalmatians OZ?

The Game

All my wats? That was very strange. Really good movie, though, and I loved the way it was shot. Not sure how I feel about the ending (I guess I was hoping for a bit...more?) but it didn't kill the ride that came before it.

American Hustle

Solid crime film boasting an amazing cast and some great performances. Jennifer Lawrence is the weakest link of the cast but, that being said, she's a little better than I anticipated she would be in this movie. Her character provides some light humour but ultimately drags the film down. I love Jennifer Lawrence but didn't care much for her character.

Amy Adams, Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper all shine in their roles. Amy Adams looks sizzling hot in many of her scenes and she's not an actress I would usually find strikingly beautiful.

The film felt a little dull at times but overall it was decent and not something that I felt like I wasted my time watching.

7/10

My Mom and Grandmother took me to see that when it was re-released sometime in the late 70's. I have no memory of the experience. They say it was my first theater experience not counting the drive in theater showing of King Kong vs Godzilla when I was 6 months old.

Those of you who know me know which film made the bigger impression.  ;)

On a side note; my youngest son has watched 101 Dalmatians close to 101 times since October. It's in constant rotation here.

The Bay

I watched this mainly because it's a found footage horror movie directed by Barry Levinson of all people. It was also executive produced by the Strause brothers, but that's neither here nor there. It overall wasn't bad, and the premise was both creepy and somewhat believable, but it felt a bit too preachy and didn't really go anywhere.

If anything, that film has the same chance.  However, Prisoners was a fresh drama in a long while that deals with relevant issues of our time.  Not pissing on 12 Years; it is an interesting true story, but how many anti-slavery and civil rights films are they gonna try to crank out for the Oscars?

You've... seen it, right?

It's not an anti-slavery movie, it's a movie that portrays slavery as slavery was and never ceases to flinch in doing so. That's what sets it apart from all of the rest. It's not some vanilla Oscar gold "slavery is bad" story; everybody knows it was bad, and this shows precisely why without some supposed message behind it. It's educational.

The point was to show that even in a brief moment of solace, he couldn't just enjoy it, he was still on edge, and he was in fact scared- it was likely the moment where the entire situation set in for him and it was without anything more than the sounds of his early evening surroundings. It's all on Chiwetel Ejiofor's face, and it's meant to be heartbreaking. That's what it's meant to be saying. It's not a movie that's meant to be looked at in a singular dimension, just like watching reality, it requires an attempt to connect with the character's scenario.

It's a movie with truth, and genuine power as opposed to two-dimensional fluff that's trying to elicit emotions by exploiting the horrors of something that actually happened in order to garner a wider "appeal" for an extra dollar at the box office.

So yeah. This isn't an "anti-slavery film" that's been "cranked out for the Oscars".

If I want slavery, I'll stay home and watch Django again. Nothing against 12 Years, I'm sure it's a fine film and all, but nothing made it an absolute must see for me.
Django Unchained isn't a slavery movie. It's a spaghetti Western that deals with the social status of a freed black man during the time of slavery; anything else is the backdrop. Sure there's themes about finding freedom, but it's not a slavery movie. What it portrays it does well, but if it's your resort for finding perspective on the actual time of slavery in the south, you've got things backwards. Don't use the trailer as something to make it an "absolute must-see" for you, but consider the content and the actual importance of the movie. It's something I truly hope students are shown in school in the near future.

There are few things as deserving as being regarded as "essential viewing".

On top of everything it's just honestly a really great film.

I understand the layered meaning in the moment where Solomon is staring out; questioning his future, but I felt that it was dragged on a bit too long - at least for me.  There are decisions that need to be made in the editing room where you should feel that the message has been carefully and affectively conveyed without having to "wait" for the slower audience members to catch up with it.  It's almost like over killing a once-funny joke..

Phew, that was one lengthy finger wagging...

It's not that I was completely disinterested the movie. It looked good, but there were about three or four other movies that I was more interested in going to see at the time. Even if that weren't the case, the limited release nonsense that happened to a lot of movies I wanted to see this year happened to 12 Years as well, so I literally had no way of seeing it.

No, that's not it at all. The entire moment is transformative, from start to end. Not to say he starts at optimism and slips into pessimism, but he approaches the moment wanting to experience relief but nothing comes of it and he goes through feelings of despair (which he said he would not succumb to), fear, reflection, shame, defeat, and ultimately near a loss of hope. It all plays out across his face instead of a scene where he pours his heart out to a fellow slave, which he's been established as too strong to do. That would have been for the slower people. Giving it three minutes (not even sure it was that long, but who knows, I wasn't checking my watch) of a shot that doesn't move and just holds on Ejiofor's face as he creates an absolute tapestry of emotion isn't to let "slower people" understand the moment, it was for the moment to fully express itself as opposed to something preachy. Because hey, sometimes people just have moments where they don't say anything and they just feel it for themselves. I heard people begins to sob in the silence of that scene-- I think they felt it.

It was a paragraph and two sentences. I don't see how that could be considered lengthy on any scale of judgement. It was also you being flippant; the rest are your mental gymnastics making it out to be some kind of attack. If you think that a little sarcastic response to a flippant comment was being uncivil, you should probably reassess your own attitude toward the discussion in general. If I wanted to call you a dumb kid, thinking that it would somehow help my case, I would have.

Carrie

Well, I didn't hate it. In fact, I was actually quite surprised by it.

There were about 3 moments where the CGI didn't quite work for me but they were brief and can be overlooked. The mother/daughter relationship was fleshed out a little more but doesn't really feel like it had that much more depth than De Palma's Carrie.

Chloe Moretz, despite her beauty, made the character believable. And I actually felt like she was a product of her environment and upbringing (read: religious-nutjob mother).

The massacre at the prom was flashier but, overall, I still feel like the 1976 film has more style. And the older film's ending is better... much better. The ending in the new movie:

Spoiler
Sue visits Carrie's grave. She winces in pain. Cut to her giving birth. Some crazy telekinesis shit happens in the hospital room. Carrie's hand comes out her vagina and grabs one of her arms. I kid you not. Obviously you don't see Sue's vagina and it's from her point of view but it still felt like they were trying too hard. Okay, Sue does wake up screaming and it was a nightmare after all but it was still silly compared to De Palma's ending. That was the Blu Ray ending.

The theatrical ending is not much better.

This was a lot of fun. Thank god they didn't play it straight. This works better as a comedy – and the cast is having a good old time here; particularly De Niro who is relishing his role as Billy "The Kid" McDonnen. Another actor who stole the show was Razor's trainer Lightning, played by Alan Arkin. Surprisingly enough the movie is pretty self aware at just how embarrassing it's going to be when these two over-the-hill boxers beat the hell out of each other. There are some nice nods to both the Rocky films and Raging Bull. Overall I enjoyed it quite a bit. Wasn't expecting a cameo by Chael Sonnen either. Cool.

Gravity (3D)

I hate space.

Seeing operating in outer space used as an allegory for depression is something that added to my thought at some point in watching the movie that film really isn't a medium that's running dry in ways it can tell an effective and beautifully unconventional story in such a simple way. There's only so many words to be wasted in trying to describe the effectiveness of the film and so many space puns to stretch it, out so I think I'll try to keep this short.

Coming out of the movie, I was weak in the knees. Yes, because of the immersion, the unbreaking stream of weightlessness exhibited. There's something oddly connecting about the experience because as a viewer, we're kept in our single seat as the film takes us on a journey that we can't physically interact with, and if the film does its job of immersing the viewer, we're right there with weightlessness. Having zero gravity and seemingly indiscernible distances portrayed in such a visceral and tangible way is an achievement in its own. In 3D and with a massive screen is the only way to watch this. I weep for a generation that would and will watch this on their phones (http://youtu.be/wKiIroiCvZ0).

I'm not sure why it took me so long to see this, seeing as I love Alfonso Cuarón and I'm often charmed by the actors involved, but even after sitting through the storm of praise this gained and being unable to see it to the point where I thought I'd even missed my chance to see it in theaters, I managed to keep my mind and expectations at ease... little did I know, when I came out of this movie, I was in shock not only from the experience, but from the fact that I almost missed out on it.

Both Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are great, polar opposites of one another's character, and completely believable in their roles. Clooney's warm, humorous professionalism is something I didn't quite see coming, not knowing the dynamics of the characters, and as he always manages to do, he pulled it off with a great amount of charisma and charm. Sandra Bullock, I think I can say, plays against type here, with a performance that stands beside Chiwetel Ejiofor's in 12 Year's A Slave in that they draw the viewer in on their struggle on such an intimate level that you want nothing more for then than to survive and just make it out of their hellish situation in one piece. Her story had me on the lip of my seat, and the brink of tears, for multiple reasons, and on multiple occasions. The final act is revelatory, and I haven't seen something so visually and emotionally ambitious in a live action film like it in a very long time.

The film stands as an cinematic achievement both in storytelling, visual technicality, and emotional investment. It's a movie I'll never forget.

I hate space.

Seeing operating in outer space used as an allegory for depression is something that added to my thought at some point in watching the movie that film really isn't a medium that's running dry in ways it can tell an effective and beautifully unconventional story in such a simple way. There's only so many words to be wasted in trying to describe the effectiveness of the film and so many space puns to stretch it, out so I think I'll try to keep this short.

Coming out of the movie, I was weak in the knees. Yes, because of the immersion, the unbreaking stream of weightlessness exhibited. There's something oddly connecting about the experience because as a viewer, we're kept in our single seat as the film takes us on a journey that we can't physically interact with, and if the film does its job of immersing the viewer, we're right there with weightlessness.

Great movie, 3/4's of the movie is a great time and full of good laughs, but the final bit takes a more depressing and serious tone that I didn't really enjoy. I'd definitely recommend seeing it and I give it a 7/10.
I feel like Dicaprio is a pretty underrated actor.

Eh, it wasn't that good. Bill Paxton was good as this insane militaristic survivalist, but other than that it fell pretty flat. It's something we've seen a hundred times before (crazy cannibals) so there's nothing too special here. However when Laurence Fishburne and two other guys go investigate an outpost, the suspense is f**king terrifying. There's blood everywhere and you keep hearing these creepy-ass screams. So it really set the mood right up until they made first contact with the crazy folk.

This movie was absolutely outstanding. It is the epitome of what a Disney movie should be. The animation was utterly charming, vibrant and pleasing to the eye. The comedy was golden, having me in stitches on at least three occasions. But the best component of the movie was the outstanding musical numbers. The best one in my opinion is embedded below.

Idina Menzel was absolutely stunning in her vocal performance. I am already a fan of her performance of Elphaba in Wicked. This movie, all in all, is one of the best animated movies I have ever seen.

Twelve Years A Slave

Very refreshing to watch a movie completely embracing the tough subject of slavery without the need of wrapping it inside some narrative framework (Amistad, Glory etc...) or highly stylized violence and dialogue (looking at you, Quentin). Chiwetel Ejiofor... best performance I've seen from him hands down. My man Fassbender is equally impressive in what must be one of his darkest characters to date.


Byzantium

If you liked Interview With The Vampire, Neil Jordan last directional effort in this 'genre', chances are you're going to like this as well. It pretty much ignores all the usual trappings of vampires on film and focuses almost entirely on the existentialism angst of Saoirse Ronan's Elenor. The plot is set in motion from her desire to share her story, even if it just means writing down her lifestory and throw away the pages in the wind. Her character somewhat mirrors Louis in Interview, narrating his story to Christian Slater, establishing the framework of that film.

It's visually stunning while muted in colors, to reflect how these immortals must feel on the inside. Gemma Aterton is good as well, supplying much of the backstory of how these girls/women ended up where we find them. I could have done without some of the plotting in the end, with representatives of some obscure vampire conclave turning up and serving as antagonists. The story didn't need them imo. Jordan should have followed through on the premise of discarding the usual vampire lore, including these ideas of ancient vampire brotherhoods overlooking an obscure rule set for their kind.

Heck, I don't even care about Vader's added "nooo." The only change that truly bothers me is using Revenge of the Sith Anakin as the Force Ghost. I liked Hayden as Anakin and loved the prequels, but it just doesn't make sense using him there. I know George's logic was that that was before he turned into Vader, but at the end of RotJ Anakin returns. I'd rather not see the guy who slaughtered kids as the eternal representation of Anakin.

Finally finished this movie after what seems like over 10 years of neglect. I was just waiting for the X-Box to turn on completely, so I decided to quickly check out what was showing on the TV, suddenly I came upon the movie, and I just couldn't stop watching. This film has some damn fine f**king acting. This is one film where every character I was able to understand their personal thoughts, and motives that were important enough to garner a lot of screen time. I'm glad I stumbled on to this movie. Although it becomes predictable by the end, every single god damn interaction between the characters is just amazing. I might have to compile a list of films I've seen fully just through channel surfing.

After Omega mentioned it a few pages back, 101 Dalmatians.
And then Dumbo, The Jungle Book and The Lady and The Tramp.

Man they're good, true classics. And Omega was right. Despite the happy endings and excellent songs, thematically there are some real dark and / or depressing patches in them, that more recent Disney films from even the early 1990's really lacked, as dost most of Pixar's stuff.
Excellence. Some of Disney's best.

The inaccuracies are strong with this one. The lack of a bridge at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Scots wouldn't be wearing kilts yet. Irish didn't switch sides at the Battle of Falkirk, they fought the Scots.

Plus this William Wallace looks way more badass.

The Wolf Of Wall Street

I clearly went into this, expecting something a bit different than what Scorsese and DeCaprio had in store with the chronicles over Jordan Belforts happy days as a stockbroker on Wall Street. The narration that kicks in right at the opening images, should have alerted me that this film is more comparable to GoodFellas than the likes of Wall Street, Margin Call and Arbitrage.

Personally, I had expected a deeper and more profound cut into the mechanisms at play in the heart of the financial meltdowns in the 80s and all the way up to the crisis in 08, through the eyes of the people who were at the center of them. Instead, this film plays more like a... sometimes black, sometimes lighthearted satire more than everything else, over a single greyzone side street broker and his crazy mannerisms and lifestyle - and not much else, unless you as the viewer, chose to make your own thematic parallels to real life events.

That's perfectly ok and the film is highly entertaining. I just don't feel any wiser on anything after the experience than I felt before it. We all knew beforehand of the lifestyles of these people during the happy yuppie years, so what the point in following this guy for 2½ hours, doing exactly what I would expect of him.

In that sense (and inside my little head), I had preferred if Martys camera 10 minutes into the film, has steered away from DeCaprios character and instead decided that this Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey) guy just might be more interesting to follow. After all it is Hanna, who in the best scene in the film, puts down the basic premise of their modus operandi; They don't do business in adding value to whatever they sell (even though that's their sales pitch to all their clients). Neither do they produce anything of value. It's all in their commission. Their percentage. Hanna couldn't care less if he sells worthless shit and how much he has to lie to move it to his clients and that's a more interesting path to follow to its conclusion than the one the film went with - imho. :)

Better than the fourth film and it tries to give the series a new twist, and moderately succeeds. Feels much like a Spider-man/mutant origin story (Jesse inheriting inhuman superpowers and strength) and there's actually COMEDY in this as well, something that hardly existed in the previous films (as far as I can remember anyways). But again, like with every sequel, this spin-off doesn't seem to answer many questions and only happens to raise more, which is irritating. The ending isn't anything we haven't seen before, but by God,
Spoiler
that time traveling door was just ABSURD and though surprising, it seemed like a poor excuse to tie in with the first movie.

The Sleepy Ruler - 1987

A short independent film by a Mongolian director about a 15 centimeter ruler in a 30 centimeter ruler world. Everything starts out fine; he's used for more precise measurements in tight places, a specialization he uses positively to console himself, given how depressed and degraded he feels about his size. Then one day (in one of the weirdest moments of the film) a teenager finds him and uses this ruler to
Spoiler
measure his penis a few times
[close]
and then the ruler suddenly develops narcolepsy (hence the title). Well nobody can use a sleeping ruler (apparently), so he's tossed in the trash, and we see his journey to this newly created dump.

Jump forward 20 years, and he's barely survived. He's grungy, muddy and disgusting, but he's managed to find a job with the garbage men on their truck despite his narcolepsy (I guess he sleeps during their drives, when they aren't picking up garbage, but this isn't shown). He seems happy. Then, however, he falls asleep on the job AGAIN, and is abandoned. Somehow he's abandoned at the house of the now grown up version of the original teenager, and he's found and cleaned and used to measure again, and he's cured of his penile induced narcolepsy and is happy, now used in a child's pencil case at school.  :-\

To be honest, I thought the pacing was a bit off, and I didn't know who the f**k actually wrote this (off their rocker most likely), but I had a great time watching it and it was good fun.

Frozen (2013)

I absolutely loved it. The animation was beautiful, as were the songs (though some of them felt like they would fit better on the album than in the movie). The characters were great and the voice acting was well done.

Spoiler
I really like that it was Elsa that freed Anna of the frozen heart and not one of the guys. It really felt like the movie needed that sisterly love and bond.

As for Hans, didn't really expect him to be a villain.

Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Re-Do

So um yeah...my 2014 movie watching experience is off to a blast with this. All I'm gonna say is this is a movie that was made to be seen theatrically. Having only seen the cam-rip and low quality uploads on the net I never realized just how much of the film I was missing. Amazing non the less and an experience I definitely soon won't forget.

Spoiler
Also seeing people cosplaying as the characters was a f**king blast caught a few Asuka's, one Rei, a Shinji and a Mari. :laugh:

Lone Survivor
I knew the back round of the story (Operation Red Wings) because of another forum I frequent but I was never fully aware of how things played out. Excellent movie, just all around excellent. It's very depressing given the fact it's based on actual events, but its also very moving and its definitely a story that needed to be told.

Sometimes you just find a review so horribly written, misinformed, and outwardly publicized that you can't help but respond to it. Which I did, as you'll no doubt see at the bottom of the page. Just kill me right now. Guy basically spent ten minutes on Wikipedia (hilariously going as far as to drop the designer of the Evas' name, as if it holds any relevance to the review other than to make it seem like he knows f**k-all), and still manages to get it wrong at every turn. My personal favorite being:

"The saga focuses on a chosen teenager, Shinji Ikari, a highly reluctant hero whose issues with his stern military father take a strange turn when the elder Ikari calls his son to Tokyo to pilot a giant robot (known as an Eva)."

That person has no idea what they're even talking about. Freaking calling The Wunder a  spaceship...are you kidding me? And then gives off some bullshit about how it would confuse everyone, but the visuals are nice. It's clear that in the parts where he's talking about the past - the mention of the TV Series and the like, that he's just getting that info off of the damn internet. He tries to make read as something for the general audience, but even then he doesn't bother to explain anything:

QuoteIt strains credulity that the only colleague who ever loses patience with Shinji is Asuka Langley Soryu (Tiffany Grant), a one-eyed Valkyrie in red body armor whose short fuse boosts the movie's energy level.

I'm sorry, but if I was someone who had not seen any of the material before this review, I would still have no clue what he would be talking about. Honestly this sounds amateur as hell. There is hardly any information in order to even get the average person to partially understand here. This is honestly ALL that is said about Asuka. Hell, there's no mention of Rei or any other major players. Sure there;s Gendo...but even then the description of him is insane..."stern military father" are you serious with that?


Quote(The Mecha subgenre that includes "Evangelion" was a leading influence on Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim.")

I don't understand why this was included in the article.



This review reads like a very bare bones wiki page when you remove any flair. There's no information besides very basic info on the film, and even then it doesn't provide enough. If any of you have read that EGM review of A:CM, then let me tell you that this review reads even worse than that.

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Space Sweeper on Jan 11, 2014, 11:34:54 AM
It's this brutal strain between trying to sound like he's actually seen anything from the series prior to this and trying to pander to the general audience in a simplified "watch or don't watch", when the general audience isn't who's going to be heading to the theater to see it anyways. The Wikipedia mis-lead points are absurd, and saying that Eva was a leading influence on Pacific Rim is outright bullshit. Obviously the designers took personal influence for a few things, but Guillermo nor the writer Travis Beacham had seen the series.

It's like a high school student trying to write an essay on a topic he doesn't care about in the slightest, yet has Wikipedia and other web sources available to him, so he paraphrases as much as he can, yet still fails when it turns out he paraphrased just enough for everything to be hilariously wrong.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: ShadowPred on Jan 11, 2014, 11:37:51 AM
That bit about paraphrasing is about right. I've done my fair share of that many years ago in the my late days in high school, and this sounds exactly like someone that didn't know what they were reviewing. Honestly, you don't sit down to watch this movie and write a f**king skeleton of a review with bits of meat to make it look semi-finished.

Star Trek Into Darkness on Blu-Ray

Simply awesome  :).

The only part of the story I'm not entirely sold on is the relationship with Spock and Uhura.  In season one of the original series, there was only a hint of a relationship in a few early episodes.  In the remakes it feels a little forced, or over compensated.  Still, this film is always a fun watch.

It's honestly not that bad. It was interesting seeing all of the little differences between the US and Japanese cuts, like how Godzilla's ice burg is literally right next to the military base in the latter. Also, gotta love dat logic of him popping up in an ice burg when he was buried in snow on an island last time we saw him.

Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)

Yeah, just give that title a taste. The movie is everything you'd expect just reading that. :laugh:

The plot is centered around two women, Donna and Taryn...

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg89%2F8083%2F75o5.png&hash=11c9f2e2f8a9ebeb4ab23c8bcd5b498a9bfbb4af)

...working for "the Agency", who happen to stumble upon a diamond trade and suddenly have a bunch of villains on their tail. Donna get some help from her boyfriend Rowdy and his friend and we're off. The crossed of the cliché list pretty quick and had lots of blondes, blood, boobs and bullets. Add some cheesy music and a weird snake sub-plot and you got all you could possibly want from a movie like this.

Oh, and for First Blood, there are shades.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg12%2F5828%2Fhmap.png&hash=70ad1460483fcb9e018abbd923650148d6a705e9)

Not enough with mere shades? How about a henchman whose name is Shades?

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg827%2F3938%2F6pi.png&hash=e70232c7536224149a9f90a8808fd2a1da4e31d3)

Of course, the movie wouldn't be complete without a hardcore henchwoman. :-*

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg4%2F24%2F0b4e.png&hash=868d933ce8b1aaa40f024189cce6e46c324dcc54)

As I mentioned, there's a weird sub-plot involving a snake. Not just any snake. It's a snake "infected with deadly toxins from cancer infested rats". Yeah. No wonder the villain assumed the shape of a frightened Hasselhoff when he saw it, though still a good fifty feet away from him.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg824%2F4826%2Fnb2w.png&hash=0d9e133301f1fc08fd871f0728eb939b16b76e1b)

The final battle will hit all the right spots for you guys. Killer frisbee, anyone?

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.com%2Fa%2Fimg560%2F1137%2Fjm0r.png&hash=d63df18904808e6bc89eb8445e53548eb058a93a)

I don't think I have ever seen somone so happy after blowing up a guy with a bazooka.

So sit down, press play and let Rowdy secude you with lines like "I don't wanna control your life. All I wanna do... is suck the polish right off your toes.".

I suppose this movie was somewhat successful, because Dona Speir went on to play Donna in another six movies after this. Still not convinced you wanna see this? Take two minutes to watch this. Sells the movie better than any trailer possibly could.

Some time ago, some of us watched some episodes of a series on ShadowPreds stream that was just so out there and freaking hilarious. Mina just owned the chat with her comments that night. It's basically the same kind of totally bonkers satire as this one looks like. It was this one, I think (Shadow needs to correct me if I get it wrong):

Mothra vs Godzilla (1964)

I don't quite think it's the untouchable classic a lot of fans hail it as, but I can't argue with genuine quality. My only real issue is that the climax is structured a bit weirdly. I mean, just how long did the protagonists sit there on the beach while the Shobijin sang to the egg? they must have been there all night and well into the next day. :laugh: Other than that and a few miniscule nitpicks, I quite like it.

Oh, and there was one translation in the subs that may have been a bit too literal. "Please stop making strange voice." :laugh:

Desolation of Smaug - Entertaining. Expected a cliffhanger, not really leaving me wanting more.
Anchorman 2 - Very, very funny. Enjoyed it more than the first honestly and the fight scene I loved.
The Hangover III - Some funny moments. Can't beat the first one though, Stuart should have stuck with Heather Graham, unngh.
The World's End - Mixed feelings about the ending but all in all, another hilarious classic from the Cornetto threesome.

Frozen

I haven't exactly been following the last few Disney movies, or cared all that much for what I've really seen (still don't get the hype for Wreck-It-Ralph, for instance), but I loved the crap out of this movie. It had great animation and a great story with some well executed twists.

My only complaint is that a couple of the songs could have been trimmed. "Love is an Open Door" was ridiculously long, and felt like a transparent excuse for the animators to show off. Olaf's song about Summer was kind of random and not exactly worth the punchline it was setting up. That aside, the movie was fantastic. Oh, and Elsa was pure hawtness.  :-*

Fear

At times this felt like a feature length staring contest between William Petersen's overprotective dad and Mark Wahlberg's whiter than white psychodouche. That alone is brilliant enough to recommend Fear, but you also get numerous skin crawling makeout sessions, Alyssa Milano slutting it up (Commando is forever ruined), that rollercoaster ride, unmistakably bland mid-90s cinematography, and the film's sudden transformation into Straw Dogs with an underwear model (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pW2OWZ96h0) during the climax - wherein Petersen finally unleashes his inner Richard Chance. 

Maybe not the greatest movie of all time, but it's definitely a close second.

you don't deserve a review you vile movie you

Godzilla Vs. Hedorah

All the silliness aside I really like this movie and Hedorah is one of my favorite of Godzilla's enemies to have ever been created. It also helps he's basically the closest we'll get the The Great Mighty Poo from Conkers Bad Fur Day in a movie. All he needed to do was sing.

Godzilla Vs. Gigan

Gigan is cool the movie itself is whatever. I find it to be pretty boring for the most part, you can see the strings that keep Ghidorah up, and the monsters talking is too much. Still pretty fun, just really bizarre. :P

Godzilla Vs. Megalon

lol jet jaguar get out

Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla

What do you get when space aliens decide to make a copy of Godzilla whose really a giant sentient robot that destroys anything in it's way? You get this movie and it's f**king awesome, probably one of my favorite of the Showa flicks, and definitely one of the better ones.

Terror of Mechagodzilla

A fine sequel to the previous movie, MG is awesome as usual and Titanosaurus is f**king awesome and should f**king come back in some way. :P

Riddick Unrated Director's Cut (2013)

Gotta say I found the Director's Cut a much better experience than the theatrical one. There's more Vaako and more of the Necromonger horde. It makes Vaako's betrayal of Riddick more fleshed out. Still, he doesn't have much screen time but the added scenes are key. Also the (extended) ending without spoiling anything is interesting. Should they do a fourth film, it will be a cool avenue to explore.

Supposedly, the Japanese version is superior to the American version. I haven't found the Japanese version of the movie yet, so I can't say for certain but I like the American version of this movie very much!

Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo

Whoa-ho-ho-ho. This was good. Great, even. Yeah, it was great. Started grinning during the opening scene. This being Eva, the grins did not last, and were soon replaced with anguished grimaces and frowns. But yeah, great movie. I'm still very confused, and I have many questions. But it's the good kinda confused, and they're the good kinda questions. Really glad I got to see this for the first time on the big screen. Also glad I could share it with someone so... special.

Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo (English/Theater)

I've already reviewed the film extensively (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UNQ9jQ6gixx15e3q5E2ZAddb3MtkWBLw03G2or-eBOY/edit?usp=sharing), but seeing it in theaters an with the English dub by Funimation, it requires a little bit of further discussion... gushing... yeah, gushing. An irreplaceable favorite of mine from last year, made only better for me courtesy of masterfully translated, written, directed, and last but not least, acted English dub.

I will admit that I was cautious of this particular dub, not in the actors' abilities, but the translation; I'm not sure why, seeing as Rebuild's translations have been thorough and perfect so far, but this movie being so complex with minimal dialogue at times, requiring the viewer to not just listen to but think about what the characters are saying, be it in the moment or in review... and I'm so proud to say that Mike MacFarland and his team have pulled it off perfectly, ensuring the depth of being able to recognize every inflection is put to work. It may sound straightforward, but when adapting written material from another language, it's very easy for the actors to fall flat without the proper direction and adjusted writing. It's painstaking to adapt, and, like the rest of Rebuild's translations, painstaking is what this is, and I can't express how much I appreciate it.

Not only does the writing know when to take the liberties that fix awkward dialogue (which crops up occasionally in subtitles, particularly the non-official ones the film has been watched with up until now), but it knows when to express exactly what's intended to be said when things get complex. There were moments that, translated properly, I just now noticed were supposed to have a comedic edge to them-- my favorite being "I take it back, he's not an idiot, he's an asshole". I laughed, then thought about it, and that's exactly what was meant to be said, just less effectively in the non-official subtitling, that and, in a similar proximity, "At least acknowledge the fact that I just blew your head off!". I love it.

As you may have been able to detect from my praise already, the actors all absolutely kill it, adding a new dimension to a lot of scenes for me from a dramatic (and, as previously mentioned, comedic) standpoint. I'd list off every actor and how much I loved their pitch-perfect approach to the extremely different circumstances in this entry, divulging from everything Evangelion (yet managing to maintain enough themes and devices to show shimmers of a familiar progression) as we once knew it. Which is why there's a vocal minority that hate the movie, and I think they're f**king insane if they're at all familiar with the theme of fearing having to cope with change that has always been all over the series... Hey, maybe it's just proof that it's effective.



And yes, I would not exchange that company for the world. Was a good goddamned night on the town, Marines. ;D

Very glad you enjoyed the film.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)

This was actually really good! I liked it quite a bit. The marketing sold as a Jason Bourne knock-off but it's really not. Ryan only kills one person in the entire movie. And knowing that Ryan isn't a cold blooded killer, they really focus on his 'first kill' for lack of a better term. He's terrified, paranoid and scared. I thought that was smart.

The movie begins with Ryan in college; after the 9/11 attacks he joins the Marines until he's injured in Afghanistan. Enter Kevin Costner who sees his impressive intellect and observation skills, he recruits him for the CIA. Ten years later he's going to Moscow to investigate Viktor Cherevin (Kenneth Branagh) and that's when shit starts to hit the fan. The movie wasn't spectacular by any means nor does it turn the spy genre on its head but it breaths fresh life into the Jack Ryan universe.

Her (The Film Formerly Known As She  :) )

Pretty good and heartfelt film from Spike Jonze. In a weird kind of way, it feels like a companion piece to his ex-wife Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation (which was her way of dealing with their derailed marriage). Joaquin, Scarlett and Amy are great, some scenes were very touching. It has it fair bit of borderline cliche scenes as well though.

Joaquin playing a 3D console game, while having to deal with one of the game characters developing an attitude towards him in real time, got the biggest laugh. :D

I don't know if it's named differently over in Denmark (as can be the case for countries overseas), but it's called Her here, so I was slightly confused reading it. I only bring it up because my first (perhaps incorrect) reaction upon reading your review was to laugh heartily at your apparent screw up of the simplest film title in history.  :laugh:

Yep, I saw it again. In theaters. It still kicks ass.

"Like a chicken with the face of a monkey, I fly!"



Don Jon

"Man, f**k that bitch."

It's a smart and genuine movie about relationships, and pretty funny on top of that. The third act and the ending are honestly kind of brilliant, IMO.

Godzilla vs the Sea Monster (1966)

After hearing so much negativity about this one, it surprisingly wasn't that bad. I'm not really a fan of the faux-Bond plotting and music, but I can live with it. Akira Takarada was pretty badass throughout the whole thing, and the monster scenes were pretty good, too.

Son of Godzilla (1967)

Overall, it wasn't bad. The human characters were tolerable, the monster scenes were fine, and the giant bugs were well designed and executed. While I don't Minilla in concept and I enjoyed his personality here, his design is pretty fugly and Godzilla isn't much better.

Jackson's King Kong is finishing on the tv right now. Haven't seen it for ages. Gotta admit that a lot of the build-up scenes are a lot more enjoyable than I remember them, my favorite probably being our first tiny glimpse of Kong and the whole expedition setting off. Kong is wonderfully realized.

At some point though, the film really starts to embrace huge amounts of blue-screen/CGI and quite a lot of it, just doesn't look good enough. Towards the end, the continuity in some of the NY scenes seems out of place as well (probably scenes missing in this 'shorter' cut). More enjoyable watch this time around, but still nowhere close to his LOTR films in epicness.

Holy shit that was a good movie. It's been out for a long time, and more people have reviewed in in better ways than I ever could, so I'm not going to ramble on and instead am just going to say that it definitely lived up to it's reputation. I still can't  say what my exact emotion was as I left the theater, but God... that was great :-\ The cast was fantastic, especially Michael Fassbender. He absolutely nailed his role and was a truly despicable human being, and I'd say he is (hopefully) a serious contender for Supporting Actor at the Oscars.

Better than I remember, but this is still a disappointing final outing for Harry Callahan (going up against the weakest villain of the series). Even so, it's entertaining, with moments of inspired lunacy (the car chase) and some amusing supporting turns from 'before they were famous' faces.

The Dead Pool

Better than I remember, but this is still a disappointing final outing for Harry Callahan (going up against the weakest villain of the series). Even so, it's entertaining, with moments of inspired lunacy (the car chase) and some amusing supporting turns from 'before they were famous' faces.

Recommended for fans of sleazy 80s Charles Bronson films.

I have only seen this once, but Harry came across as a parody of himself in it. :-\

Its been awhile since a movie has had me guessing and wondering all the way to the end with such excitement,

In fact i cant even talk about it without spoiling something. Magicians are crafty buggers.

Holy crap.
-Rathalos throughout random intervals in the movie

That's even better than I remember it. Dat tension, dat soundtrack to go with all that tension, dat way it's shot super close to the water, dat everything, goddamn. Everything about this movie has gotten so much better for me as I've gotten older. I've always loved this film but seeing it all in the kick ass blu-ray transfer and with the mono sound option is a completely new experience. Speaking of the transfer, it's f**king great and there is only one part where it seemed to not have good quality (you'll notice it cause it's really jarring and actually made my eyes hurt :P) but through at least 95% of the movie the transfer is great, and the movie is great on it's own so f**k it.

In all seriousness, until some time around late 2011, I couldn't remember which "teenage character "development" scenes" were in Transformers and which were in AvP:R. They're basically the same movie if you cut out the scenes with non-humans.

Pfffttt, you film noobz.
The camera shakes because Wolf is breaking the fourth wall. His power is so extreme that it shatters the boundaries of film disbelief, transfers through to reality and shakes the very camera it was filmed on.

The teenagers are so vapid because it's a character homage to all the 80's and 90's slasher / monster B movies with vapid teens, they were channeling that feel maaaan.

I couldn't have been more than 10 the last time I watched this movie, so I might as well have been watching it for the first time.

American Hustle (2013)

I liked it, no loved it really. Solid cast along with a bumpin' soundtrack provide a great atmosphere in David O'Russell's little crime caper. Nice cameos from Robert De Niro and Louis C.K. as well. Bale f**king owned his character. Also loved the part when Cooper and Adams went all Saturday Night Fever in the club.

American Hustle was the most enjoyable film I've seen this year. Lots of laughs, clever writing, ridiculous outfits/hair. Best film still goes in a tie to Gravity and Rush, but I'd much rather re-watch Hustle than either of those.

On the other hand, went to see Inside Llewyn Davis yesterday, and for the life of me can't understand what all the fuss is about. Boring and directionless, which is the point of the film; with middle-of-the-road country/folk music and anchored by a decent but devoid-of-star-wattage (again, intentional) performance of a dickhead character. Throw in a bit of very lazily-written symbolism, and you have 100 minutes that feel like three and a half hours.
The one good thing I'll say for it, it's a very honest piece of filmmaking. In no way do they betray or compromise the character of a starving couch-to-couch artist. It feels very true-to-life, and people who've been or have friends who've been in that lifestyle may find quite a bit of catharsis here.
For me though, two stars. Probably lower without the cat.

I always liked Godzilla vs. Biollante. Plants usually frighten me, odd as that sounds, but not Biollante. Haven't watched it in forever, but maybe i'll have to dust off the VHS! I am on a Godzilla kick having marathoned these 3 flicks Sunday night...

Godzilla X Mechagodzilla: 4.5 out of 10. I had never seen it. First off, how many times have toy tanks defeated Godzilla? None, and yet they keep sending 'em in. As for Mechagodzilla, the aliens of the 3rd planet from the black hold didn't need the skeleton of the original Godzilla to build one. Just saying. Overall, bad acting and bad dialogue, though that could be a result of dubbing. Decent Kaiju action.

Tokyo S.O.S.: 4 out of 10. I had never seen it. What better way to improve on Godzilla X Mechagodzilla than by adding Mothra? Well, probably lots. I hate that moth. And worse, those damn slugs. Is Godzilla unaware that he doesn't have to willingly let them cocoon him? Anyways, it's more of the same.

Final Wars: 7 out of 10. I had never seen it. I don't know WTF was going on here. Is it a good film? Hell no. It's awful. However, it's also phenomenal, and I'd highly recommend it.

I forgotten how much this movie is differently paced throughout. The ending scene hints to the greatness that awaits... A solid foundation to the Dark Knight series. 8/10

I didn't hate it -- but it's blatant Oscar bait. Takes an important topic and reframes it so that it centers around the straight audience it hopes to "enlighten". A much more interesting film wouldn't have made Leto's transgender character the "sidekick", and the other queer characters sidelined so much. Also, there's a wretched scene toward the end where they all stand around and applaud McConaughey -- ugh.

It's based on a true story. It is extremely accurate to said story, and they wanted to focus on Ron Woodroof. Leto's character never actually existed; he's a single supporting character formed out of a plethora of transgender and bisexual people interviewed for the movie and involved in the real story (a choice tying back to the Woodroof character study they were going for). The applause scene was great in context.

"Extremely accurate" by contriving a false sidekick character, a phony romance with his nurse, and eliminating his bisexuality? :P

It's not a bad film by any means, but it's undeniably crowdpleasing middlebrow stuff aimed at straight audiences who want to see a film about an important social topic without having to directly identify with anything too queer themselves -- hence the straight white savior.

Yeah. They condensed a whole bunch of individuals into two representative characters who played more major roles than any of those aforementioned individuals alone did in real life.

The phony romance...I...no. It was very well done, even if inaccurate (the romance part took up maybe 4 minutes of screen time. And it doesn't even have to be seen as romantic; they had dinner and she comforted him once). Eliminating his bisexuality is a big thing, but they made him more racist and homophobic than he actually was, and I personally think the transformation he went through in terms of his attitude changes was excellent.

But it's true. A film that really wanted to grapple with the AIDS crisis, how it damaged primarily LGBT people, and how the crisis was ignored by Washington and others due to widespread, institutionalized homophobia, would not have chosen as its center a homophobic straight white dude from Texas who eventually becomes their standing-ovation receiving savior.

It's The Help, but swapping black people for the LGBT community (and dumping a lot of the wit and beautiful ensemble acting). It's another film where the suffering of an oppressed group of people can only be made palatable to mainstream audiences by refracting it through a lens they're comfortable with. It's kind of sad.

Everyone but Ron who had AIDS in this film was gay, so if people didn't pick up on that...our doom is nigh. It also flat out says it several times. The fact that this man's story seemed particularly worthy of telling shouldn't be a critique of the film. It's a biographical film, not an open letter to congress or a history channel exclusive.

I haven't seen it yet. I've never been much of a McConaughey fan but I liked him in The Paperboy and he has been annoying me less lately. And I do like Garner even if her performances tend to be forgettable. So I might just check it out.

Sound City

Doc about the now-defunct recording studio that produced a wide range of hits from the 70s through the 00s, directed by Dave Grohl. The film has two distinct halves: the first documents a history of the studio, and the second is a string of session recordings from artists who worked at the studio. The first half consists entirely of interviewed talking heads; due to the format it feels rather disjointed, and could have benefitted from narration conveying a narrative thread. Still, it's a fairly absorbing little music history lesson, focusing primarily on Fleetwood Mac, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty and Nirvana, along with changes in technology and culture.

The real draw is the second half, though. It gives an insight into the process of composing in a spontaneous live format, and the personalities involved. The artists convey different approaches, and the interviews continue to provide further background. By the end you'll feel thoroughly immersed in what it takes to create great music... and there's a lot of it made right here. If you enjoyed Amadeus, you'll find similar spine-tingling buttons pushed here, despite being a totally different film.

Also, Paul McCartney still has a ridiculously powerful voice.

Awesome/10

Cat People (1942)

Pretty young immigrant woman falls in love with some dumb American milquetoast and fears she'll turn into a murderous feline if she gets that tingly feeling in her vagina. Val Lewton's most famous production, though not the best -- marred like a lot of his other work by what seems to be some regrettably studio-enforced Biblical tackiness -- is an excellent early horror noir where all the Val Lewton tropes are born (lone female character being stalked through the streets at night, long passages of wordless, moody ambiance and a bleak downer ending). 

8/10

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi61.tinypic.com%2F2yzeiw9.jpg&hash=af566269e395cfb1cce89b76e61e6f6e80a3d2a8)
Curse of the Cat People (1944)

Almost completely unrelated to the original, but actually a better film than the first Cat People, this sequel focuses on the lonely young daughter of the prior film's dumb American milquetoast (here even more insufferable), her misadventures trying to find someone to be her friend and understand her, and the spectral visitor who comes to fulfill that need: the ghost of the Cat Woman from the first film. It's a strange and haunting piece of magical realism let down only by a silly scene of extended child psychology in the third act.

8/10

I Walked With a Zombie (1943)

Val Lewton does "Jane Eyre in the West Indies". Richly atmospheric and features an amazing scene where the heroine nurse and her zombiefied charge creep through the sugar cane fields at night to a voodoo ceremony. The only downside is the resolution is a bit nonsensical and muddled with more studio enforced Jesus talk.

Lone Survivor with the papa.

Book much more involved but that's always to be expected.

Curious to what really went down during his rescue.  Book says Army Rangers and Green Berets came in and saved the day.  Movie shows Pararescue coming in and the AF and Army choppers decimating Shah's forces.  This is backed up by Pararescue giving their own account of his rescue.  Shaw was supposedly killed by Pakistan border guards trying to cross into Pakistan.

Meanwhile the Marine Corps denies that Shah had anything close to the size of forces Lone Survivor mentions in Victory Point.

Guess the only people that know for sure what happened is Luttrell and the SOCCE guys assigned to the mission.

Jurassic Park

It's the mark of a good director that a movie can be filled with the biggest, dumbest continuity goofs and plot contrivances you could imagine and you don't notice the first half a dozen times, and don't care the second half a dozen. Kind'a dread to think that if I saw this for the first time today I wouldn't like it because it's full of so many gaping holes, but I like to believe it'd grow on me after some viewings.

Obligatory remarks about the CGI holding up except poor Mr. Brachiosaur doesn't look so crash-hot any more, and the T-Rex during the car attack sort of relies on you not looking at his feet, but otherwise those raptors are still f**kin' rad/10

When I think about the JP CGI aging, I mostly think about the sneezing Brachiosaurus and the Gallimimus. Those do not feel very real. Still, every film with SFX has its share of dodgy shots. It's inevitable.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: SiL on Feb 02, 2014, 10:50:30 AM
Oh, yeah. The sneeze. I didn't think the Gallimimus were bad at all. Maybe a few dodgy seconds, but it still holds up. For a 21 year old film its effects haven't dated any worse than a lot of movies made within the last decade or so, which is still impressive.

'based on a true story' and when they say based they mean the only thing that was the same as the true account was buying the dybukk box at a garage/yard sale. the rest of the movie is the typical possession formula,including annoying kids,bitchass ignorant mothers,divorced parents,average joes getting thrown around rooms,lots of wind and screaming.

The Rise and Fall of Paul Beenis Games

Eye opening, rousing, and ultimately heartbreaking documentary chronicling a the game developer from the early years of the gaming industry to the modern day, through highs and lows, successes and failures all accounted for. The fact that they even began the documentary that long ago and kept it going up to the present day is pretty staggering, vaguely prophetic even, seeing as there was no real way of telling the extent of how the industry would grow over time- if at all. Seeing the studio eventually crush under its own weight as modern greed an excess mixed with a lack of originality comes into the picture is painful to watch, but it creates a powerful real-life story of hubris no-less.

Highly recommended.

And I'm ashamed I didn't mention Melissa Leo. Yeah, her performance was great too. As was Paul Dano's, despite his very limited dialogue. Just facial expressions and body language.

As I lay Dying.

10 minutes into this film it was like dirtpoorshitman's Terrence Malick, the shaky cam and the bullshit split screen, and the inaudible dialogue, it was like a film school project, Franco wishes he was Malick he ain't basically.

I was about ready to turn this shit off, but there was some decent acting , particularity by Tim Blake Nelson and the world created seemed legit so i persevered, and as i'd never read the novel i wanted to see where the story went, it's this Addie Bundren dies and her husband and children have made her a promise to bury her in a cemetery many miles away. They set out with their mule, horse and cart and have the absolute shit luck.

kinda glad i stuck through it, if only for the ending's its a depressing gut punch of a motherf**ker.

Man, I swear, I'm not even a full-on Malick hater (I liked The Thin Red Line and Badlands), but the movie is f**king horrible aside from a slideshow of pretty images. The amount of times you see a woman or girl twirling around in a circle will blow your mind. We (the stream) actually made a drinking game based on Malick tropes before watching and I was f**king done by the end... that said, I think I was the only one actually doing it.

The Counselor (2013)

We open with probably the most hilariously Manfic-y sex scene in failed Oscar bait history, with Michael Fassbender saying things to Penelope Cruz like "You have the most luscious pussy in all of Christendom."

We then get a shot of a cheetah chasing a rabbit, about to catch it (SYMBOLISM), being watched by Javier Bardem, buried somewhere underneath a ridiculous fake tan and a bad haircut (like almost everyone in this movie, continuing Ridley Scott's recent proficiency for goofy cartoon portraiture in place of character, see Prometheus).

The script is an overcooked mess of cliches (drug deal gone bad! madonna vs whore! lawless Mexico! desert rock score!) with overwrought, completely uncinematic dialogue that is the product of a gifted writer who has attained Genius status, and no one will tell him his first screenplay is kind of shit and needs a lot of rewrites. So this Genius comes out with this glorified first draft, and Hollywood goes bananas because this will be a For Sure Great Movie and gives it to Genius Ridley Scott, who is still coasting on past glories like Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise and Gladiator. The results are exactly what one would expect from such an unholy, artificial union. There's no passion here, just cynical Hollywood math: Great Writer plus Great Director = Great Movie 4 Sure.

No one in this film knows how to speak its dumb, self-important dialogue, and so they all resort to mugging and hiding behind loud tacky costumes (behold Cameron Diaz and her grotesque mascara job, cheetah spots back tattoo and overlong fake nails! Meanwhile, Brad Pitt just does his usual completely flat Shittiest Successful Actor Alive routine -- cringe in horror as he tries to recite lines like "I sent a pair of reliable chaps to speak with him. Bloody expensive, too"). McCarthy is completely unsuited to film -- he couldn't conceive a set piece if his life depended on it, all he can do is write scenes of characters standing around yakking at each other without ever actually conversing. The fatal flaw of the film is that no one involved realizes that the material is actually silly rubbish -- its like The Paperboy if The Paperboy thought its trashy excesses weren't hilarious and didn't play them for sexy, committed camp (Nicole Kidman actually pissing on Zac Efron > Cameron Diaz pretending to hump a windshield). Even a hilarious line like "I never knew my parents. They were thrown out of a helicopter into the Atlantic when I was three" is delivered without any sense of fun.

It's like the worst Quentin Tarantino movie Tarantino never wrote; pulp cliches without an ounce of fun, energy, and with a tired undertow of pot boiler noir misogyny that's played completely straight (the characters lean back in a macho recline and go on and on about what women are like, blah blah blah, bullshit, blah blah blah, women have pussies who knew, blah blah). The film has nothing interesting to say, but spends hundreds of thousands of words saying it (sorry, "greed really takes you to the edge" isn't an insight, no matter how many times you exhaustively rephrase it). Even random drug dealers and bartenders get endless, circular ten minute monologues about life that eventually bubble over into a kind of hilariously pretentious mania in the film's last act. And then, of course, the lead character is namelessly referred to as "Counselor" without a trace of satire, because McCarthy is so out of touch that he thinks such obvious stabs at existentialism won't ring hollow when those narrative gimmicks were already hoary around the time all the writers he's descended from -- and has apparently never evolved to move past -- ran it into the ground about, oh, five or six decades ago now.

But mostly it's just really f**king dull.

It's interesting to compare how, while both the opposed madonna/whore character archetypes in Ran and The Counselor are basically pretty reductive and sexist, Kurosawa actually commits to making them both actual characters in his film, and when Lady Kaeda achieves her goals at the end of the movie, it's not played for cheap irony like in The Counselor.

The fatal flaw of the film is that no one involved realizes that the material is actually silly rubbish -- its like The Paperboy if The Paperboy thought its trashy excesses weren't hilarious and didn't play them for sexy, committed camp (Nicole Kidman actually pissing on Zac Efron > Cameron Diaz pretending to hump a windshield). Even a hilarious line like "I never knew my parents. They were thrown out of a helicopter into the Atlantic when I was three" is delivered without any sense of fun.

It's like the worst Quentin Tarantino movie Tarantino never wrote; pulp cliches without an ounce of fun, energy, and with a tired undertow of pot boiler noir misogyny that's played completely straight (the characters lean back in a macho recline and go on and on about what women are like, blah blah blah, bullshit, blah blah blah, women have pussies who knew, blah blah). The film has nothing interesting to say, but spends hundreds of thousands of words saying it (sorry, "greed really takes you to the edge" isn't an insight, no matter how many times you exhaustively rephrase it). Even random drug dealers and bartenders get endless, circular ten minute monologues about life that eventually bubble over into a kind of hilariously pretentious mania in the film's last act. And then, of course, the lead character is namelessly referred to as "Counselor" without a trace of satire, because McCarthy is so out of touch that he thinks such obvious stabs at existentialism won't ring hollow when those narrative gimmicks were already hoary around the time all the writers he's descended from -- and has apparently never evolved to move past -- ran it into the ground about, oh, five or six decades ago now.

But mostly it's just really f**king dull.

3/10

The Counselor - I guess I didn't get it. Pretty sure I saw the extended cut, and my god was I bored.

The Wolf of Wall Street - I never thought cerebal palsy could be funny. I was dead wrong.

Homefront - It's a lot cooler than it's been given credit for. Nice little throwback to 80s/90s action cinema with a great cast (they don't have a lot to work with admittedly, but they give a solid performance. Especially Statham ...weirdly enough).

Escape Plan - I had a fun with it, I guess. It's not as good as The Last Stand as far as the Arnie comeback goes. Hopefully Breacher's going to blow my balls off, though.

Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995)

I've watched this trilogy several times now, and they blow most every kaiju flick out of the water. This one is a great setup for the title character, with a well written plot, likeable characters, and some of the best special effects ever seen in the genre.

Can't wait to watch the trilogy again.

Also gets bonus points for being the most feminist scifi series out there (it really is, even moreso than Alien!). By the third film, the entire plot arc of the series is being driven by a handful of strong female characters. Kazunori Ito rules.

Yeah, that's definitely a strong point. The male lead in the first one is practically comic relief at times.

I still remember when I first the saw second one, and there is that very subtle scene where the main character is about to step down from her telescope, and the general offers his hand to help her -- she casually ignores it, steps down, and continues their conversation. The series is full of wonderful little moments like that.

And yeah, damn, those effects are impressive. Especially Gamera 3, and especially considering the budget for these films wasn't even half of what a Godzilla film costs -- and they look infinitely better in every respect. Show what happens when you have people behind the camera who are actually really committed to their series instead of just churning out more product.

It also helps that they didn't have Toho forcing deadlines on them like the Godzilla people did. Their whole "churn them out in year" strategy was just f**ked.

I've also been noticing some details I've missed more. i chuckled a bit when I saw Asagi's Mary Poppins poster. That was just adorable.

As much as I enjoyed the film (which was quite a bit), I definitely agree with you there. The first is one of my favorite movies of the genre, and while I found the second to be fun it didn't really recapture the charm that the first one had.

Still looking forward to the Blu, though.

Speaking of, Mill Creek, the company who released the (mostly) excellent US releases of the trilogy on Blu-ray are releasing two new sets Gamera - Ultimate Collection Vol. 1 & 2. No one knows for sure what they are yet -- probably HD versions of the public domain US Showa films. Should be interesting.

ROBOCOP (2014) IMAX

Literally just finished watching this about 20 minutes ago.

Now as a fan of the original film, I walked in expecting to hate this film, especially after paying 21 f**king pounds for it, I expected nothing more than a few little trivial references to the original and some soft-core gunfights.

I was wrong, this movie was in fact very f**king cool. At a very certain point (I'll go into more detail in spoilers below) it left me feeling uneasy, which is very rare. Almost as much as the brutal execution of Murphy did in the original when I saw it for the first time. This is the third 12A film that i've seen recently and have been surprised at how much content they can show. However it wasn't the bloody gorefest that the original is famous for.

There were a few things that fell short for me, the opening scenes in the middle east almost felt, pointless. Also I think the story kinda depended too much on Murphy's family. I also never really liked the fact that his visor was up for the majority of the film. The villains (The arms dealers) were nothing more than cannon fodder and never really presented any backbone to the film.

Now seeing Murphy in the iconic silver armour was cool, but I never had any problem with the black either, in fact I think I preferred it because while on his motorcycle he looked like a goddamn badass, if he was in his silver armour it wouldn't have had the same effect.

As for the cast, I actually preferred the cast in this film over the original, particularly Lewis's character. (Michael K Williams) Who I've only ever seen on the campaign of Battlefield 4 before...which, wasn't that great...but in this he held his own compared to the other A listers. As for the main man himself...Kinnaman absolutely nailed the part. He brought his own take on Alex Murphy and wasn't riding on the coattails of Peter Weller's performance. As for the rest of the cast (Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman) They all did pretty damn good, although I feel like Jackson kinda just plays himself in his films nowadays and isn't acting. :laugh:

Spoiler
Now the scene where Murphy is awoken after being blown the f**k up and he asks to see what parts of his remained...only for each part of his mechanical 'exoskeleton' to be slowly removed only revealing a pair of lungs, throat, head, exposed brain and right hand...was f**ked up...

Although Murphy's personallity is more dominant and exposed in this film they did manage to reduce him back to the very machine, monotone version for a small portion of the film, even as much as the movement that Peter Weller did in the original.

[close]

Was it worth paying 21 quid to go see in the Imax?...probably not, the visuals and the film were f**king great, but the prices cinema's charge these days is just disgusting.

I enjoyed this more than The Desolation of Smaug and I would love to see a sequel.

8/10

Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999)

Whew, wear to begin with this one? It's such a brilliant film, I could write a short essay about, perhaps with a few footnotes. I'll do my best to keep it beneath the average length of Hubbs' reviews, but I can't make any promises. The movie is that good.

What we have here in Revenge of Iris¹ is an undeniable masterpiece of the genre. It boasts powerful storytelling, deft characterization, and arguably the best effects to grace a Japanese monster film since Tsubaraya's heyday, perhaps the best period. These elements and more combine to make a film that earns its place next to the original Godzilla and Mothra vs Godzilla as a classic daikaiju eiga.

I guess I'll start with the story, and what a story it is. It focuses on Ayana, a young girl consumed by hatred after her parents were inadvertently killed by Gamera during his battle with Super Gyaos in Guardian of the Universe. She discovers a young monster in a cave, and raises it to hate Gamera just as she does. Meanwhile, more Gyaos birds have been appearing all over the planet, and Gamera has become more ruthless in his pursuit of his nemesis than ever before. Caught up in the midst of this feud is Dr. Nagamine, who has been studying the Gyaos around the world, and the mysterious governmental figure Mito Asakura, who along with eccentric video game designer Shinya Kurata manipulates these events to meet her own aims.

Now, Ayana's side of the story sounds a bit like the "grudge against the monster" plot Toho tried several times before and since², it's far better executed than in any of those films. Ayana is a more sympathetic character than any of those others, and has a more believable motivation as well. Her hatred Gamera is intertwined with no small amount of self-loathing, something she hasn't really confronted at the start of the film. Ayana isn't the gruff wannabe badass the Godzilla films have gotten so fond of, but rather a person with real emotion and real heart to her. This is in no small part due to Ai Maeda's stellar performance. This is the core of the film, and the subplots serve to give it texture and scope.

The other characters also hold up well. Nagamine and Asagi are both back in this film, and they're both more confident and more hardened than before. The other major players are also interesting. Shinya Kurata is endlessly entertaining. Think an ecclectic mix of Hideo Kojima and the nihilism of Rust Cohle from True Detective, with a dash of lunacy on top. His cohort Asakura is perhaps the weak link among the leads. her motivations could have been fleshed out a bit better, and not blurted at the audience by Kurata. She's still a good character though, and makes for a strong female antagonist.Even some of the minor characters get proper development. Inspector Osako, who was semi-comedic side character in G1 and a gag in G2, is given a modest character arc. He's not incredibly important to the plot, but I appreciated how the time was taken to give even a small role like his proper characterization. One last bit part I'll mention is the "Monster Minister." He's given a decent amount of nuance here, and I happen to find him amusing.³

The film is also technically beautiful. It's very well shot from start to finish, and the eerie lighting and set design for the cave are pretty great.The score by the great Kow Otani is great, as is pretty much all of his work that I'm familiar with. As far as I'm concerned, he's the best composer in the genre after Ifukube.⁴ There's a few sped up shots I'm not overly find of, but otherwise the film is technically sound.

Like all other aspects of the film, the effects are masterful. Higuchi and his team were on their A game, and it definitely shows in the final product. The suits and miniatures are better than ever, and the use of CG enhancement is tastefully used and never distracting. The Gyaos puppets in particular are well done, despite the minimal screen time. The CG in  general can be a bit obvious at times, particularly where Iris is concerned, but it's great for the low budget and has a beauty all its own, unlike a lot of the CG in the later Godzilla movies.⁵

Now, at long last, for the monsters. Gamera looks better than ever here, the new suit meshing perfectly with his more ruthless nature. Complementing that is the sheer brutality of the monster scenes, which ca get quite messy. Also, the film never shies away from the human toll of a monster battle in a populated area. The other films addressed this to some extent, but here it hits harder and cuts deeper. Both title monsters are portrayed with varying levels of ambiguity here. Gamera's ruthlessness can make one wonder if he may really be going to far in pursuit of Gyaos, and Iris... well, I could write a crapload on him alone. His entire nature is ambiguous. There are scraps of info to be found throughout the film, but there are no concrete answers as to what exactly Iris is, or what purpose he is meant to fulfill. This is particularly brilliant to me as Gamera's and Gyaos's origins in G1 were formed from a few clues and a fair amount of conjecture on the part of the characters. It's the same here, only the conjecture is left to the audience, and I applaud that decision. Iris, of course, looks great as well. Now, the film doe falter slightly in terms of monster action. I felt it could have done with a tiny bit more, perhaps showing a smidgen more of Gamera's worldwide battle with the Gyaos birds. Also, his big fight with Iris begins well and ends spectacularly, but the middle portion could have done with a little more punch. As it stands, it's basically a titanic shoving match.

Long story short⁶, Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris is a masterful daikaiju eiga, and a great film in general. It takes all of the elements that go into any great film, and combines it with the very best one coul expect to from a giant monster flick, and together they made for a masterpiece.

10/10


¹Or Awakening of Irys, or Incomplete Struggle, whichever you prefer.
²It first appeared in Godzilla vs Space Godzilla, and then was beaten like a 1950s housewife by most of Masaami Tezuka's films.
³He also happens to be the spitting image of a certain character from the masterful Ode to Kirihito, which makes me like him even more.
⁴I find a few, like Masaru Sato, to be a bit overrated.
⁵cf some of that Asylum level shit in vs Megaguirus.
⁶TOO LATE!

Wow, that cheap? Where I go I think it's about $6.00 for matinee showings, $8.00 for regular, or $10.50 for later at night (after 6:00 r 7:00, I believe). Tuesdays are $6.00 all day.

I usually just buy a four pack of tickets from my local AAA office for $26, though. That's $6.50 a ticket and I can use it any day, any time. I also ocasionally get free tickets on 10-days-old-or-more movies occasionally a rewards program the theater offers.

I wouldn't go that far -- Michiru Oshima and Reijiro Koroku give him a very definite run for his money. But I love his work, and the remastered complete trilogy soundtrack boxset is one of my prized possessions.

Basically the Catholic Church are evil motherf**kers (nothing new there) Coogan was restraint and very un-coogan, did love his character extremely relatable (bit of a jerk) Dench was her usual self, shot like the standard biopic, same for the soundtrack, supporting cast did ok, a little bit oscar baity, and elicited a bit of emotion out of me.

A wonderfully hilarious adaptation of Douglas Adams' masterpiece. I've always found this movie to be incredibly underrated. The story is hilarious, the script is witty, the acting is spot-on, the soundtrack is fantastic, and the visuals are beautiful. A true shame that this is very unlikely to get a sequel; would love to see The Restaurant at the End of the Universe with the same cast.

1313: Cougar Cult

So one sunny day 3 cougars are walking through their mansion. They stop every now and again to perform an evil ritual. The twist is they are actual cougars... get it?! And there's all these good looking guys trapped in the mansion and there's a lot of upper body action. And the cougars get defeated. It's a 5 minute short extended to an hour or so.

The moral of the story is: There's an audience for everything. No matter how terrible it is.

Thor's fighting all over the nine realms, Banner is running R&D in new York, and SHIELD is going through some rough shit in Cap 2, from the looks of it. Plus, the Mandarin thing goes down in a pretty short time frame.

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Feb 11, 2014, 01:29:18 PM
I guess the most logical explanation is that the world (and, by extension, S.H.I.E.L.D.) thought Tony was dead when he disappeared. Still leaves me scratching my head as to why S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't show up and help, though. Maybe they thought Rhodey and the military had it covered?

As Blacklabel said, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. takes place after Iron Man 3 due to the characters' familiarity with Extremis, and Thor: The Dark World happens just before one of the show's early episodes, while the show itself is building up towards leading into Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so I guess the explanation above is the best we're gonna get.

Oh, I agree. It should have been explained somewhere. Especially since Tony briefly hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D. at one point in Iron Man 3.

The only thing I can come up with is it being the military's mission rather than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s, but you'd still think that they would have some say somewhere. Maybe Fury was still being reprimanded by the Council after his actions in The Avengers? :D Maybe they will make some mention in The Winter Soldier about what S.H.I.E.L.D. was up to at the time.

Interesting. It was much more a period piece than a monster film, but it wasn't bad. Daimajin itself was pretty badass. There's a part where the bad guys try to chain it to a building only for it to pull the building down on top of them. 8)

No, this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1029234/) is the worst movie ever made. Moreso for its completely repulsive acclaim.

but the interwebz tells me it's one of the top horror films in recent memory

Lol, Open Water may have been one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. When it came out I was a dumb kid so I thought it would be a shark attack movie, nope just two people splashing in the water at sharks for 90 minutes. :P

Only God Forgives

9/10.

Nic Refn's best flick so far (of the 3 i've seen ha!). Wow. The characters were all pretty fascinating and the story was just incredibly macabre.
What a messed up journey of madness and revenge! Every single frame was perfect and not a single element on screen felt out of the director's control. Kristin Scott Thomas should win the honorary "Best HORRIBLE onscreen c**t OF THE CENTURY" Oscar... (if there was such a thing.) She had all the best lines, too. :P The soundtrack was just beautiful and i'm still processing the entire thing.. god damn. :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCiEWALcrFw#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCiEWALcrFw#ws)

Watching this was quite literaly a VISCERAL experience. ba dum tish.

Btw:
Every once in a while  dialogue ends up being repetitive (in novels, comics and film etc...) because characters have to tell plot points to each other that the audience already knows from early on in the film... Only God Forgives approach to that kind of "repetitive" dialogue is just to make it f**king inaudible and do a nice montage to music of the characters reacting to info! As we (the audience) already know what's being said, removing that dialogue isnt a loss at all. Classy move, Nic Refn, classy. :P

I'm very pleased with how great it turned out to be.  The MGM logo in the begining was fantastic and all around, the acting, editing, camera work, sound effects and CGI were pretty damn good.  Loved the nods to the original.  The first two acts were great, but the third felt a bit lacking for some reason.  Wished they played the theme in the end credits, but, whatever. Still a great execution.

White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen

Largely because they looked like the PG-13 and R rated versions of the same film and I had time to burn.

I liked 'em both. They're both dopey, but they both work as 2 hours of mindless explosions and fun. I think White House Down edges out in the plot department, because the entirety of Olympus Has Fallen relies on its audience accepting the characters' stance that the life of the President is singularly more important than diplomatic relations with a half a dozen other countries and helping prevent an allied nation from being overrun by an insane neighbour (We're looking at you, Korea), an act which may or may not start some manner of global conflict.

A more realistic version would've taken all of five minutes:

"Do what we say, or we kill the guy we need the secret password from to blow up half your country!"
"Um, fire away?" *hangs up*

Lol, yea.

I've only seen parts of Olympus Has Fallen.  I do prefer the "take-over" in that film more than the version in White House Down.

Also, just rewatched Independance Day again.   Really wish Smith would return for the sequel.

The take-over scene in Olympus Has Fallen was great. Felt more realistic than the ever-asinine "Pretend to be janitors and walk in through the front door". I'm sure there are no security protocols in place for making sure that doesn't happen, no sir.

Neither's really Die Hard either except on a superficial level. People keep forgetting that Die Hard is about an average person in a remarkable situation -- both of these films have ex-soldiers falling back on military training to kick arse and take names. And neither has the charm of McClane.

Stalingrad (2013)

Russian film set in a square in Stalingrad during WW2,While not as good as the German 1993 film of the same name, This movie does showcase some wonderful detail and special effects,the battle scenes are filmed beautifully and the sound work is amazing. Hearing distant bombs and crisp roaring canon fire to the whine of Stuka's,the sound is what i really loved about this. I literally teared up becuase I was like 'this sound is f**king awesome'.

Other then that the film is more so about russians holding a building that sits on the Volga river,The Germans need to take it so there is a struggle. Love interests on both sides,one more interesting then the other. You tend to feel more for the German officer then any of the Russian protaganists,even though they are the center piece. Overall enjoyable,if only for the f**k-yes sound and battle scenes.

The Russian sniper can suck a dick.

8/10

If your after a more gripping,gritty and deeper film on Stalingrad,go with the 1993 version.one of the best ww2 films around.

This Is the End (2013)

Carrie (2013)

Both decent movies, in my opinion. This Is the End was surprisingly funny. The first twenty minutes are kind of a drag, but I guess the rest wouldn't work as well without the set-up.

I've watched the new Carrie twice now and while it's not an abomination of an adaptation, it was worse on my second viewing. It just completely lacks the atmosphere and beautiful score of De Palma's Carrie. The prom scene and a scene that takes place right after that is executed well but the rest of the film feels like it lacks impact.

Also, Sissy Spacek makes for an amazing Carrie and Chloe Moretz had big shoes to fill.

I'd rather have bland and unnecessary than completely f**king awful. And as long as we're on Stephen King, I gots faith in the It and The Stand remakes. Putting those on network TV in the 90s was just WTF worthy.

As a fan of some of Kings early work and to some extent the man himself, it's just plain embarrassing to read King's criticism and thoughts on Kubrick's film, because Kubrick managed to rewrite and elevate the material into the stratosphere and making one of the most scary films ever made in the process.

The tv-series that King made, is utter shit in comparison and is completely forgotten by now.

Ugh. Just because Wendy's not the hot blonde piece of wish-fulfillment ass she is in King's novel doesn't mean she's annoying or a c**t.

Killing off Dick Halloran makes perfect sense if you subscribe to the surprisingly well-supported theory that Kubrick's interpretation of the story is symbolic of psychotic white male patriarchy (genocide of the Native Americans, murder and discrimination of blacks, women) ;D

Wasnt one of King's main complaints about the film the casting of Jack Nicholson? :P basically "people just expect to see him go mad" and King wanted it to be an actor that nobody would ever expect that type of behaviour from... :P

Robocop (2014)

Going into it I could say I didn't know what to expect, having only recently just seen the original at a friends house I still had it in my mind at the time of watching this. Luckily it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected and it had some kickass action scenes to boot. My favorite being the shoot out in the dark.

I wouldn't say Boss of it All was shit -- just that it is so over-intellectualized that the jokes don't land a lot of the time. For example, a scenario where an actor is hired to pretend to be a company boss, and one of the employees thinks he is gay and the straight actor has to let him give him a blowjob to maintain the charade, SHOULD be funny, but it's laid out so schematically that it doesn't really work. :P

Scanners

This is what made Cronenberg for the public? I'd say Stephen Lack couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, but there are moments in here where his perpetual monotone and deer-in-headlights expression is actually appropriate for the scene he's playing, and McGoohan spends the entire movie mumbling into his beard like he's half asleep.

Jennifer O'Niell and Michael Ironside were about all the film had going for it.

Which probably made the whole Cannes spectacle more painful for Lars because he knows perfectly well, that a lot of those guys (industry insiders he's given interviews to for decades) aren't dumbasses and yet they went with this bullshit, knowing perfectly well that it's complete BS. Add to that the Cannes Festival big wigs (people with whom Lars also enjoyed a mutual beneficial and loyal relationship with for decades) essentially leaving him out to dry on his own, looking the other way.

Well here it is. Dolph Lundgren vs. zombies with the aid of killer robots. The concept alone is utterly ridiculous but oh so much fun! And these are fast zombies too. The supporting cast was pretty decent. I liked Duke. Some of the editing was a little choppy but it's a quintessential B-movie. So I wasn't expecting Lawrence of Arabia here.

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

It's not exactly better on a second viewing, I'm afraid. :-\

It's beautiful to look at (especially those burial rites) and the main cast is as good as before, but Malekith has to be one of the blandest villains there are. I don't really mind Eccleston's performance, but could they not have spent a minute on making him stand apart from the rest of the Dark Elves? Thrown a little red in the mix perhaps? If you have seen the concept are for this movie, pretty much every design for Malekith is better than the one they went with.

Speaking of Dark Elves, their power is a bit uneven. The ships are strong enough to cut through Asgardian buildings like butter, but are destroyed by simply falling to the ground. Also, how much of a threat could they really be? One ship was all that was left of their race. Asgard should have no problem taking care of them, even though their defense force seem to be a joke. I still don't buy that Heimdall would be unable to detect a ship that even we can see.

Hell Comes to Frogtown

Roddy Piper is a rare fertile man living in a scorched post-apocalyptic Earth (where unprotected sex is all but enforced by its ruling female military force), who gets captured by Sandahl Bergman and William Smith before being strapped into an exploding codpiece and tasked with rescuing/impregnating the imprisoned women of a mutant toad warlord and his pump-action shotgun-toting amphibious henchmen.

Or maybe this was all just a dream I had...

I'm not sure, but it was pretty cool.

And damnit Thor, why do you keep trusting Loki?

Absolutely loved the mid-credits scene. May have been my favourite part of the film. If that's a glimpse at what GotG will be like, I feel even more pumped about that instalment.

Yup. Between this and the review Shas posted a page or two back, I'd say that nails my thoughts on the film. It was fun, but near the bottom of Marvel's offerings.

Yeah, about right. I'd rank it around TIH and IM2. Maybe a bit above.

I really hope that's the last we see of Kat Dennings' character. She's a very attractive woman, but incredibly irritating and unfunny.

On the flipside, I hope we see more of Stellan Skarsgard's Erik, but played up less for laughs.

Didn't like it quite as much the second time 'round as I did seeing it in theatres, but it's still a damn great film. I have some issues with it, and there's a couple things I wish they'd done differently, but it's not near enough to detract significantly from what is otherwise an excellent movie. Can't wait for the third instalment, which I'm assuming will be out for the 50th.

Well this one was quite surprising, im not a fan of 'found footage' films but this one broke the monotomy by going from footage to crime lab with the cops trying to find the killer by reviewing the footage. Always has you guessing till the end. Best money-shot ive seen since Now You See Me.

The books were probably my absolute favorite series growing up. Other kids had Harry Potter, I had A Series of Unfortunate Events. I honestly wouldn't mind rereading them now and seeing how well they hold up. If forget a lot of the details, especially of the later books, which I only read once each. I must have read the first ten or so books two or three times over as I anticipated the remaining volumes.

That being said, I never did really care for the film :-\

The script needs a few more rewrites (rushed into production ahead of the Writers Guild strike and it shows), and it was shot and edited in only seven months, which also hurts things, but it's a very solid little thriller. Gillian has never been more beautiful and Snow's score is fantastic.

Yeah its true but it still worked out in the end, considering the extremes they went to with trying to keep it secret, fake scripts, survelliance readings, shredding all documents after reading, misinformation. Not surprisingly that the script went thru some ups and downs.

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Not nearly as good as the first film, but entertaining nonetheless. It's great to see Thor and Loki's relationship continue to evolve. I liked seeing a little more of my favorite Thor-verse characters like Sif, Heimdall and Fandral. It's shame the villain came off a little one dimensional. It sort of reminded me of the Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger. There wasn't much too the character other than his evil agenda. Oh well. The after-credits scene is still one of the best the MCU has to offer. It has me psyched for GotG for damn sure.

Your comparison of Malekith to Red Skull was very apt. Both were characters portrayed by very talented actors that I'm a big fan of, and both actors felt somewhat wasted in the roles. The performances were great, but I feel in both cases there was a lot more that could've been done with the characters. Think there may have been some stuff left on the cutting room floor.

Well, we know that's the case with Malekith. Ecclestone confirmed a while back that a lot of his scenes were cut. Red Skull was his usual comic book self, i.e., one of those wacky Nazis.

Pretty much my exact opinion. Gonna be watching the Blu myself tomorrow morning; looking forward to checking it out again :)

Though I will say, one-dimensional as he was, I really enjoyed Red Skull in Captain America: The First Avenger. He was insane, bent on world domination, and essentially felt like he was pulled out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but he was a ton of fun to watch on screen. Malekith in Thor: The Dark World, however, was just kind of there from what I remember. Did nothing for me. Maybe if most of his scenes weren't cut I would have felt otherwise.

Thor: The Dark World

I liked it even more the second time. Malekith remains Marvel's worst attempt at a villain, but the chemistry between Thor and Loki and the entire supporting cast really does work. I do wish that we could have seen more of Heimdall, Sif, and the Warriors Three though. The funeral scene was the best in the movie, and I loved the physics-defying final battle as well :D

The mid-credits scene is definitely Marvel's best tease. Well, second best. After the one in The Avengers.

One thing that was a little weird...

Spoiler
When Thor, Jane and Loki escape Asgard, they make it seem like it's a huge risk, that they are possibly facing death if they are captured, since it's betrayal of highest order. Yet both Sif and Heimdall stay behind to ensure that they make it off in one piece. I know that Marvel are not likely to kill off some major characters just like that, but I do find it a bit odd that they both made it out of that mess alive. Would have been a bummer for Thor to come back and see the heads of his friends on pikes (okay, so Odin is not Joffrey, but still).

Also, there's no reason for Fandrall not to come with Thor after he took care of those soldiers following them.

Also, speaking of Marvel and GoT, I don't know if you noticed Margaery Tyrell in Captain America.

Yeah, a bit hard to believe, but given their skill in battle I'll let that slide. I was a bit more surprised that, after their treason, they were trusted with delivering the Aether to The Collector, but I guess LokiOdin isn't really going to worry about that.

Speaking of Loki, I wonder if he is still in league with Thanos. Maybe, to make up for his failure at getting Thanos the Tesseract from Earth, he sent the Aether to The Collector (who may be working with Thanos) instead.

The way I see it, The Collector either is or isn't in league with Thanos, but is in league with Asgard (whether his alliance with Asgard was born before or after Loki's takeover of the throne is up for debate).

If The Collector is working with Thanos, then Loki is probably still in on the scheme, even if Thanos and The Collector don't know it yet. If The Collector and Thanos are racing against one another to collect the Stones, then Thanos probably wants Loki dead because of his failure.

Overall, it was a decent action/thriller with a few stand out moments. Liam Neeson basically carries the entire film, and does an admirable job all the way through. The big problem is that once the person behind everything is revealed, their motivation is incredibly underwhelming.

Spoiler
For whatever, reason, they hold every air marshal in existence responsible for 9/11. and they're picking on Liam Neeson because he's a burnt out drunk. Also, current airport security just isn't tight enough for them, either.

One of my favorite movies of all time, and definitely my go to feel good movie (even if this viewing was a bit more somber). Watching it on a pretty big screen with some friends was a great experience. We even ate a Twinkie at the appropriate moment :D All of the jokes hit home just as they always do, and the film is just so much fun that just thinking about it puts a huge smile on my face.

Anchorman 2: Extended R-rated Version

I can't speak for the PG-13 version, but I enjoyed the ever loving shit out of this movie. My only real issue is that the lighthouse subplot went on for a bit too long, and the shark thing had a lot of build up but no real payoff.

I enjoyed it. But it was just another movie using dreams as set dressing that never really bothered to play into the utter f**king weirdness of dreams. It treated it like a simulation room from The Matrix, not an actual dream.

Also the plot was kind'a silly.

I'm kind of torn between the two. The ending of The Wolverine did fall apart, but everything up to that point really hit the nail on the head.

With Iron Man 3 it took me repeated viewings to really appreciate the movie, and I absolutely love the style of it and direction that it took (including the twist, which I've grown to love immensely), but there were a couple little things sprinkled throughout that still feel a bit off to me.

With Iron Man 3 it took me repeated viewings to really appreciate the movie, and I absolutely love the style of it and direction that it took (including the twist, which I've grown to love immensely), but there were a couple little things sprinkled throughout that still feel a bit off to me.

Same here. Took a few viewings to appreciate it. Also when I put on polo shirts, I feel like Aldrich Killian and try to breath fire.

That action coupled with Cheadle's reaction might be my favourite moment in the film. :laugh:

Haha, yes. I thought Cheadle was underutilized in the film (would have loved to see more of him before the big Mandarin bust), but when he was on screen he was really great. That was probably his best moment :D

So glad he's gonna be in Avengers: Age of Ultron next year.

Come and See

a haunting and ulimately relentless film of WW2, set in Belarus in 1943, when the Nazis systematically torched over 600 villages and slaughtered their inhabitants.Its Seen through the eyes of a young man and showcases the horror of war unlike any other ww2 film ive ever seen. It comes away with such a realness that it blends actual WW2 footage in seemlessly. I found myself just purely gripped,unblinking at the shocking nature of some scenes. Moments that fill your stomach with dread that makes some scenes truely uncomfortable to watch. A Masterpiece in its own right,and one that will stick with me for a long time.

10/10

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

I started a Trek marathon some months back, and left off with The Voyage Home. Not a bad way to end it to be honest, but for whatever reason I got sidetracked and didn't have the time to continue. Maybe it was the foreboding dread I felt having to watch The Final Frontier again.

Surprisingly this wasn't as bad as I remember. The film is pretty decent actually all the way up to the part where Kirk & Co. are talking/being chased by a giant God 'head' – that's where it falls apart. This time around it's William Shatner who steps into the director's chair (ha ha) and commands the cast and crew. As for the villain, he felt like a pacifist version of Khan. Maybe that's what they were going for. The scene when he and his followers commandeer the Enterprise reeks of Wrath of Khan. The twist regarding the character comes out of left field too. In the end it's a muddled effort. Close but no cigar.

What does God need with a starship? /10

I really do love what they were going for with that one (even the talking "God" head alien thing), but the execution could have been so much better.

Oldboy (2013)

Well I liked it. Tried to view it as its own thing and didn't really want to compare it with its Korean counterpart. Josh Brolin is a mean motherf**ker with a hammer. Sharlto Copley was fun as a cockney metrosexual -- sort of reminded me of the Count from Arrow. It had some fun twists and turns. Once in a while Spike Lee will step out of his comfort zone and make a film that's different. It doesn't feel like a Lee film, and I suppose that's good.

The Grandmaster (2013)

A beautiful looking film. It's been over a decade since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Zhang Ziyi looks like she hasn't aged a day. I really enjoyed this. Maybe not as much as Ip Man but it still held my interest. There's two story arcs at play here. Ip Man (played wonderfully by Tony Leung) and Gong Er played by Zhang Ziyi. The martial arts choreography was stunning to watch. It's almost like a ballet of sorts. Go watch the opening scene which has Ip Man fighting countless attackers in the rain. Some of the pacing is a bit off, which brings the film to a crawl at times. But otherwise it's great.

This was actually pretty good. It was pretty funny throughout, and the animation was great. 3D animation haters can suck it. The songs were kind of meh, though, and I found Mother Gothel just... annoying isn't the right word, maybe off-putting? The needed more Ron Perlman to balance her out. Other than that, it was a very good movie.

OK, OK, it was a stupid comparison, but a comparison nonetheless!  :P
Prometheus made me think of Forbidden Planet a lot, but also of 'The Dig' and 'Zak McCracken & The Alien Mindbenders'. And that's part of what I liked about it.
I used to watch Forbidden Planet often as a kid and I love the soundtrack. So it has a special place in my heart.

300: Rise of an Empire

This was a perfectly adequate sequel to the original, but it wasn't nearly as quotable, and I missed the over-the-top machismo that the first one was positively dripping with. Sullivan Stapleton is no Gerard Butler, but made for a solid lead. Eva Green is the real crown jewel, though. She steals the show early on and completely runs away with it.

I think that was the first film I watched, depicting a plane crash that felt somewhat authentic. It was a really harrowing scene. Since, more recent films have aimed for that same level of authenticity in plane crash scenes from the pov of the passengers & crew.

Yup. Throw in some genuine edge of your seat suspense and (for me, at least) a terrifying sense of claustrophobia (as beautiful and fascinating as I find space to be, that shit's scary) and the film worked wonderfully for me.

I also really dug the recurring 'rebirth' motifs, even if they were a bit in your face.

It's nothing but one unfortunate plot development after another for poor Sandra Bullock who is suffering from My Kid Died Disease™ and needs George Clooney to give her a "you need to keep going!" speech and some really dumb birth imagery (why? she needs to be reborn?).

Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla

Throw in Godzilla's meltdown into this film and you would've had a much better send-off. Still a dopey, stupid movie, but it's marginally more coherent and tolerable than Destroyah's languid meandering.

Space Godzilla could've done with a more menacing roar. There's a news reporter going on about how it sounds like some kind of "God of war", then it opens its mouth and it sounds like a seagull.

Homefront (2013)

Jason Statham plays Jason Statham playing an ex-DEA agent living the quiet life with his daughter in a small backwater New Orleans community. His daughter creates a commotion at school and that attracts the attention of a cracked up Kate Bosworth to call her brother – 'Gator' played by James Franco, and has him do something about it. I enjoyed this actually. I thought it was a solid hour and forty minutes. Statham is his usual self, but Franco went full redneck and delivered a magnificent Kentucky Fried Chicken-white-trash-good-ol'-boy- performance. Best part was the scene at the gas station.

Whatever you're thinking, rethink it /10

Godzilla Final Wars

I really don't know what's worse; that they couldn't find people who actually seemed to give a shit about Godzilla to make this movie, or that the 50th anniversary send-off to a series with so much iconic and powerful music in it sounded like, well, this.

Godzilla hasn't looked this awkward in the face since the 70s. The direction feels like someone watched The Matrix and decided that was as far as they need go in moviemaking. The plot's no dumber than any other alien invader 'zilla movie, but the Big G ends up feeling like a side-player at his own going away party. It's like getting married but everyone's paying attention to the ring bearer the entire ceremony.

The only Godzilla sendoff that's any good is Terror of Mechagodzilla. Yeah, it's slow as shit getting anywhere, but at least the last half hour or so is pretty much exclusively Godzilla kicking arse and dominating the movie.

The only thing this movie has going for it is it's the one and only time Mothra has ever done anything remotely interesting or useful in anything, ever, and that was get set on fire and kamikaze an already dead opponent. Honestly, f**k Mothra.

Minilla? Seriously? We couldn't get Godzilla Jnr at least?/10

Enemies Closer (2014)

After the success of Timecop Peter Hyams and Jean Claude Van Damme team up again to make this rather off-beat thriller. After a plane carrying drugs crashes into a lake, Van Damme and his team of French-Canadian mercenaries are trying to retrieve them. Caught in the middle of all this is Tom Everett Scott and Orlando Jones. I got to say Van Damme was an absolute whack job here. If his hair wasn't frightening enough, between all the punching, kicking and shooting – he stops to survey the forest and eat berries. He's a vegan mercenary afterall! The performance is very bizzare and loose. Flippant would be the right term. He channels a little Vilain (The Expendables 2) from time to time too.

Think of the children. /10

Theatrical cut. If it weren't for pure nostalgia this would top Alien as all-time favourite movie. Although the Redux was the first version I saw and what made me fall in love with the film, I prefer the theatrical cut better. The five or so minutes of the extra footage I like in the Redux isn't worth the 20-odd that just bloat the story.

Apocalypse Now

Theatrical cut. If it weren't for pure nostalgia this would top Alien as all-time favourite movie. Although the Redux was the first version I saw and what made me fall in love with the film, I prefer the theatrical cut better. The five or so minutes of the extra footage I like in the Redux isn't worth the 20-odd that just bloat the story.

Carrie - 'The new one'

It's adequate at what it does. It's an ok film. But also I.M.O quite lazy. I follow the folks on The Escapist online magazine, and in Movie Bob's review of Old Boy he was irritated by how the film copied and pasted iconic scenes from an eastern film into a western one with no explanation other than wanting the scene. Which got me thinking for how a lot of modern remakes are lazy, uncreative missed opportunities.
Bullying has always been a big thing and now it is potentially worse than ever than a good ole' fashioning thumping-and-lunch-money-steal has turned into cyber bullying induced suicides. This film tries to do it, but there's no real bite in the effort. It's pretty much a single Youtube scene and then done. The potentially awful cyber-bullying and modernizing is never really fully utilized I.M.O and for me the film felt more like another story retelling but with new actors, unneeded CGI and a HD gloss over.

300 Rise Of An Empire - 6/10

A decent prequel/sequel to Zack Snyder's masculinity overdrive hit 300, this time starring Sullivan Stapleton's chiseled chest and Eva Green's boastful breasts. Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes (who also played the role in the 300) is somewhat sidetracked by these characters playing off each other for most of the running time, despite the notion that the film project was originally to be named 'Xerxes', but I guess Frank Miller & Co changed the perspective of the story at some time during pre-production.

Noam Murro does his best as director to really make this film feel like a natural companion piece to Snyder's film and he is somewhat successful in that endeavor when it comes to visuals and aesthetic violence. Imo though, the story doesn't feel as coherent and interesting as the one we were presented with in the original film, which might be from the simple reason that this is not based on a finished Frank Miller work. There's not much else going on besides the stand off between Themistokles and Artemisia (that is when they're not engaged in steaming sex scenes with each other) and a lot of exposition so we can place these events within a larger historic framework.

To me, the film simply lacks the brutal energy and drive that Gerard Butler channeled so well, whenever Eva Green isn't on the screen. Good thing that Lena Heady turns up again and demonstrates how not only Sparta's sons knew how to handle a sword.

Safe (2011)

Jason Statham plays Jason Statham playing an Ex-New York City detective who's trying to protect a young girl from the Triads, the Russians and corrupt cops. I thought this was really good to be honest. I didn't enjoy it as much as Homefront but it was another solid Statham film.

Let's face it, his films (and characters) tend to blend together at this point. This character could literally be replaced with say...the character from Redemption or even The Mechanic. In some ways the movie reminded me of Mercury Rising. The girl is a genius savant and the main character gets in over his head trying to protect her. Sadly there wasn't a devilishly evil Alec Baldwin lurking in the shadows. Instead it's Jerry from Fright Night as the slimy mayor of New York.

Its interesting with the commentary you find out how much they know of the source and why and how they decided to change and leave things and it makes perfect sense. Also learning some great little tidbits of the films. Great stuff.

I liked it a fair bit more than I did the first time I watched it. Still wish they hadn't cut as many scenes and left so many threads dangling from what's otherwise a solidly woven web. *snicker* Really, if they were going to delete anything, the construction worker subplot would have been a better choice. It's still a pretty good film, overall, and Martin Sheen and Denis Leary are both great in it.

Need For Speed - 9/10

Man, this was a fun movie.  A big improvement on Waugh's directing from Act of Valor, granted that I missed the first 30 minutes of establishing characters and so forth.  The humor was unexpected, and that was good.  The acting was pretty solid on many of the actor's parts and my God, were the car races and chases beautiful or what.  That was some fantastic stunt work that I feel the Fast franchise was sorta steering off of (at least the focus on cars)  The POV shots were fantastic, btw. 

Overall, with a small but great crowd that I shared the screen with, this was a great energetic experience.

Btw, Imogen Poots is motherf**king hot as hell.  Simply gorgeous.

End of Watch (2013)

David Ayer done good here. Strong performances from Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña. We're presented a hyper-realistic world through the eyes of the LAPD via dash cams, mini cams, and the actual camera itself. The film builds to a very emotional ending which I saw coming. But it was really a flip of the coin as to who was going to bite the bullet.

American Hustle (2013)

This was very good. The casting was near damn perfect. Christian Bale once again got swallowed up in his role and Jeremy Renner was surprisingly good. The two female leads kind of stole the show. I don't understand the flack Lawrence have been getting for her role (granted, mostly from Sweeper, but still). I think she did an excellent job with her character and had quite a few good scenes where we got to see other layers than the screaming housewife. Amy Adams had enough sex appeal to last ten movies. She didn't miss a beat throughout the film and I think some of the best dialogue the film had to offer was written for her character.

Snowpiercer (2013)

The only thing more brutal than the interludes of extreme violence in Snowpiercer is the scathing, astonishingly bleak social satire of its final act. Bong Joon Ho's transition from Korean genre genius to uncompromising Hollywood blockbuster auteur is seamless -- even his concession to Generic White Male Lead cliche is brilliantly turned on its head in a third act reveal that attacks the subject of class structure in a way airheaded shit like Elysium wishes it could (and even gives Chris Evans a devastatingly powerful monologue in the process, proving how far he's really come as an actor).

The dazzling conceptual bravery of the screenplay is matched beat for beat by the sheer imaginative staging of the action set pieces; like the titular roaring locomotive of the title, the plot ruthlessly tears it way through train car after train car (similar to the forward momentum of Dredd, which this film resembles in its stylish, thrilling violence), each one an exquisite miniature of witty social commentary and immaculate action choreography. Bong Joon Ho's usual weaknesses appear (the whacked out comedy occasionally grates against the savage darkness of the plot, and his cinephilic references are cloying, like John Hurt's character being named Gilliam and a direct reference to The Shining that's obvious and distracting), but it's readily apparent why the incredible ensemble cast signed on: this is a very literal hype train, and there is no stopping it.

9/10

Snowpiercer (2013)

The only thing more brutal than the interludes of extreme violence in Snowpiercer is the scathing, astonishingly bleak social satire of its final act. Bong Joon Ho's transition from Korean genre genius to uncompromising Hollywood blockbuster auteur is seamless -- even his concession to Generic White Male Lead cliche is brilliantly turned on its head in a third act reveal that attacks the subject of class structure in a way airheaded shit like Elysium wishes it could (and even gives Chris Evans a devastatingly powerful monologue in the process, proving how far he's really come as an actor).

The dazzling conceptual bravery of the screenplay is matched beat for beat by the sheer imaginative staging of the action set pieces; like the titular roaring locomotive of the title, the plot ruthlessly tears it way through train car after train car (similar to the forward momentum of Dredd, which this film resembles in its stylish, thrilling violence), each one an exquisite miniature of witty social commentary and immaculate action choreography. Bong Joon Ho's usual weaknesses appear (the whacked out comedy occasionally grates against the savage darkness of the plot, and his cinephilic references are cloying, like John Hurt's character being named Gilliam and a direct reference to The Shining that's obvious and distracting), but it's readily apparent why the incredible ensemble cast signed on: this is a very literal hype train, and there is no stopping it.

9/10

Glad to see you loved it. I'm going to watch it shortly. What I've seen so far was fantastic.

Watched Snowpiercer,

I enjoyed it, picked it by the before the second act, not really that inventive screenplay wise, High rise does it better, but some excellent shots loved the entry to to the Water control section, regardless of the character names the films tone is insanely reminiscent of Terry Gilliam, (that's a good thing)

Aspie it's got Maggie from newsroom in it.

Loved Tilda Swinton's performance, best in the film.

7/10

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Mar 22, 2014, 03:02:46 PM
Tilda and Allison Pill really nail the live action comic book/anime thing.

So many brilliant moments of craftsmanship and clever touches: Chris Evans grabbing the rifle and putting it to his head to test whether there are any bullets, the reveal of what the protein blocks are made of, the escalating insanity of the axe fight (that night vision, that torch run!), the cross-train shootout, that tattoo one liner (!), the merciless character killings. It's obvious who's sending the bullet notes and what they're for, but I don't think that's something they're trying to hide.

. The movie lacks the heart of its predecessor, and instead relies a little too much on surprise cameos, some of which are utterly wasted.

Don't miss the 'Monsters University' short at the beginning!

SpaceMarines mentioned the same thing last time we talked about the movie, so I kept an eye out for it when watching it this time around. The only thing that looked out of place was the HYDRA tanks, and, well, the weapons themself, I guess. The rest looked like modified WWII stuff, at least to me. Schmidt's rocket ship, car and plane, the submarine and all of the other stuff fit right in.

I can't say I love Prometheus, and it's been a few months since I've watched it, but I have a really odd relationship with it.

When I got back from the theater initially I did claim to love it, though even then some things didn't sit well with me. I didn't see it again after that until Christmas 2012, at which point I still enjoyed it. On a third viewing, I was much more critical of its flaws, but a fourth kind of remedied that. I watched it another couple times after that, sometimes liking it more and sometimes less.

As it stands, I find Prometheus to be a bit of a fascinating mess. I don't completely agree with the direction that they took the film in, but I am highly intrigued by it. Some of the characters are horribly written, but others are quite fascinating (big Shaw fan here; hate incoming :P ). The editing after the midpoint of the film is a complete mess, but it still grabs me for one reason or another. Sometimes I find it hard to relate Prometheus to Alien (in some ways, the two couldn't be any farther from each other thematically), but other times I find that I enjoy it more as a standalone film because of those contrasts.

I guess, in the end, I'll just stick by what I've been saying for a while and call Prometheus a "fascinating mess." The film would have benefited immensely from a tighter rewrite and less of Ridley's "butts in seats" editing process, but even still I would understand why a lot of Alien fans don't like it. As it stands, however, I am very intrigued by what could be done with a sequel down the road.

Prometheus is beautiful to look at but features an annoying herp derp crew. So it's kind of like sitting in an art museum and looking at an amazing painting while listening to somebody who has no clue prattling on about the piece for an hour.

Post by: Kimarhi on Mar 23, 2014, 06:16:25 PM
Its a mediocre movie.


I saw it in theaters the day it was released and was depressed at how unimpressive it was right before I deployed.  When we came back they put us up in hotels and I watched it again from the perspective of a standalone movie.  From here their were the vaguest stirring of feelings that maybe I could like it if it wasn't tied into the Alien series.

But then I've watched it maybe twice since then and the fact that the characters are poorly written and it has to worm its way into the Alien mythos makes me so angry.

Its like a weight of stone tied around some guy doggy paddling to stay alive and that some guy is the Alien series.

It will take a helluva second act to lift the franchise out of mediocrity.  Its bad when your new franchise starts out with an ARes.

Snowpiercer

I'm too tired to type out a proper review so I'll just say this:

- Story was fantastic.
- Amazing production design.
- Brilliant diverse cast featuring wonderful performances by everyone.
- Pacing was perfect.
- Elysium is the tame, Hollywood friendly, chewed-up-and-spit-out version of this movie.

Hard to fault although I do wish that

Cal knows whats up. 


TRY BEFORE YOU BUY. Have you ever borrowed a movie, or a game, etc. from a friend? The answer is yes, obviously. So uh...try before you buy.

I can assure you that my livestream channel is piracy free as all my movies shown are DVD disks which I purchased being played on the laptop.

Only problem is I don't care enough to purchase the movie being discussed because I'm not interested.

Plus my channel I have left absent for a long time I recently found that it will only show my face now rather than what is on my screen which is frustrating and I couldn't find an option to fix this nonsense.

The Avengers (2012)

Having watched this, The First Avenger and Agent Carter, I feel ready to take on CA:TWS.

Also, a thought that came to mind while watching the movie...

Spoiler
A common theory has been that the stone in Loki's scepter is the Infinity Gem or at least connected to it somehow. However, twice in the movie, they say that the scepter gets its power from the Tesseract. Fury comments on it once and I think Banner says something about the radiation signature on the scepter matching the one from the Tesseract. So with that, I think we can once and for all rule out the stone as the Infinity Gem.

Yeah, there's no way that the gem on the scepter is supposed to be the Mind Stone.

The only way I can see them reconciling things and making it have any relation to the Mind Stone would be if they say that Thanos used the Mind Stone to power the scepter, and that all of the Infinity Stones emit the same gamma signature.

Raging Bull (1980)

When Martin Scorsese teams with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci they produce cinematic brilliance. This is the beginning of a trilogy of sorts. They would later go on to make Goodfellas and Casino together; both excellent films in their own right. But let's talk about this film, Raging Bull.

It chronicles the rise and fall of Jake LaMotta, a boxer who is managed by his brother (Pesci). The cast is superb in this. Both De Niro and Pesci own their respective roles. De Niro playing the hot tempered, paranoid, misogynistic LaMotta and Pesci as his loose cannon, yet down to Earth brother. Having LaMotta serving as a consultant on the film adds to the authenticity of the actors and the scenes they're in. 

It's one of Scorsese's best films, among many.

Snowpiercer

Waited a while for this movie and it didnt disappoint. Its like 'Bioshock' on a train,where the upper class are just abit quirky and strange,everyone is alittle wierd. Great performances from all the cast,the film moves at a fast pace just like the train itself and is powered along with a riviting score. The action chaotic and brutal,the story grim and surreal. A bleak experiment in human survival. The engine room was great.

I wouldn't call any story perfect if it has to completely stop the plot just so that one of the characters can write a note explaining everything in voiceover, strictly for the benefit of the audience, and then tearing the note up so the plot can resume unchanged, lulz. And I laughed at that ridiculously abrupt ending. :P Very good film, but also very overrated. Herrmann's incredible score is the best thing in it.

And the "note scene" worked pretty well for me, actually... it serves to mark the moment where the film effectively changes leads and we follow the rest of the story via Judy's point of view. :P we peer into her mindset enough to sympathise a bit with her... ...and then the previous lead gains villainous "strange" tones! Dun dun! It works. It's not just there to explain the plot to the audience.

Please.  :P The shot of her looking lost and unsettled at the beauty parlor when he's trying to make her over (which she submits to because Jimmy Stewart is such an overwhelming sexual force, lulz -- dat male wish fulfillment) communicates all of that WAY more effectively than that dumb, audience pandering note writing scene. It's typical of Hitchcock's films where he didn't trust the audience to be smart enough to figure out what was going on -- see also the insanely long explanation scene at the end of Psycho, ugh.

And then watch Obsession, and marvel at the way De Palma essentially redoes the note writing scene but in a completely awesome, original and actually cinematic way that communicates everything without literally spelling it out for the audience :P

That scene (if isolated from the previous ones) just makes her a "victim" to the audience... not enough to make us sympathise greatly with her :P. Also... losing the note scene would result in the loss of the delicious irony of knowing that she was a "perpetrator" early on... and that her role has reversed somewhat. It makes her character more interesting to watch for the rest of the film.

Obsession is just Vertigo reheated (and sublimated to more ridiculous heights)... ;D It's De Palma felating a better filmmaker on screen.

And yet Hitchcock actually wanted to cut the note writing scene, but kept it in to please the studio ;D

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

This was very good and, I think, without a doubt, the best movie out of Phase 2.

The movie start of with Steve Rogers befriending Sam Wilson. Then we are treated to the scene on the ship, which I am sure some of us had already seen. Don't worry, what we saw in the previews had been cut and there's quite a lot more to it here. Soon it becomes evident that not all is right within SHIELD and things get going from there.

The movie play out like an action-thriller. It's fast, suspenseful and on its edge. There are no dull moments, but the movie does take its time for some slower scenes as well. The action is great. Cap and the rest of the SHIELD units are well coordinated and almost scaringly efficent. Chris Evans shines in the role of Steve Rogers once again, as does Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff. Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson is a most welcome addition to the cast and I think he hit it off just fine with the rest of the main characters. Him and Natasha never really felt like side characters and they were given plenty of scenes in which to shine.

There were some other familiar faces as well. Cobie Smulders returned as Maria Hill, we had Maximiliano Hernández as Agent Sitwell and of course, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. All performed as well as you would expect at this point. As far as the new cast goes, I quite liked Emily VanCamp as Agent 13. We did not get to see that much of her, but what we got left me wanting more. She hit it off nice with Evans and I can't wait to see their relationship develop in future movies. Robert Redford was excellent as Alexander Pierce, but more on that below.

We now enter spoiler territory.

Spoiler
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. NO SECRET IS SACRED BELOW!

Spoiler
HYDRA have infected SHIELD since the very origin of the organisation. We learn this from Arnim Zola, who of course is long dead, but whose brain have been saved and stored in a vault of old super computers. SHIELD recruited Zola after the war and the man gained influence, using it to make sure that HYDRA grew strong within SHIELD, comparing it to a parasite.

Alexander Pierce is of course very much a part of HYDRA and he is not the only one. Agent Sitwell is a traitor as well. You might remember Senator Stern from the Iron Man films. He is also a part of HYDRA. As far as Pierce go, I think Redford did an excellent job. Charming and ruthless, you almost rooted for the guy.

The plan is to use the three newly designed HOMD (Helicarriers of Mass Destruction) to gain power, starting of by eliminating a few million people to show their strenght. Here we get a reference to Stephen Strange as a potential target, as well as Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.

As HYDRA's infiltration of SHIELD is revealed, a civil war of sorts breaks out, between HYDRA agents and SHIELD loyalists. Personally, I can't wait to find out where this will leave the characters we have begun to know in Agents of SHIELD, as SHIELD as an organisation is disbanded at the end of the movie. We even see Maria Hill become an emploee of Stark Industries and Agent 13 (who is of course Sharon Carter, though she is only mentioned by her first name) being recruited by the CIA.

Then we have the Winter Soldier, a.ka.a Bucky Barnes. He was good and the action scenes involving him were great. Yet I wasn't blown away by his performance or the relationship to Cap, at least not as much as I had hoped for. There were some emotional scenes between the two of them toward the end though. Maybe it had something to do with me already knowing about his identity.

Seeing Peggy again was great. Seeing her old, with Alzheimer's and Steve almost breaking down in tears was quite sad, but at the same time it felt good to see them both back together again. Then we had the recording of her from 1953, with her talking about how Steve continued to be an influence on her even after his death and how he saved the man that would eventually become her husband during the war.

All in all, this was a very fine movie and one of Marvel's best. The way it plays out is definitely going to leave a big impact on future movies and TV shows. It's definitely recommended, boys and girls. Check it out as soon as you can.

He does survive some pretty nasty shit towards the end, his body badly burned, so I'm guessing we have not seen the last of him.

Also, for those of us who are watching Agents of SHIELD, there might have been a hint towards the Clairvoyant in there.

Spoiler
Zola says something about writing an algoritm that could predict people's actions based on their past. Sort of like seeing into the future, eh? Maybe the Clairvoyant got his/her hands on this? It's probably nothing, just a thought I had while watching it.

300: Rise Of An Empire (2014)

This was a perfectly acceptable sequel to the first film, what with it being a parade of blood and tits across the screen for the masses to see. The story takes both during and after the events of the first film. Sullivan Stapleton was great as the ruggedly handsome Themistocles with a huge set of baby eyes that stare into your soul. I actually liked him more than Gerard Butler. Maybe it's because of my Strike Back bias.

Eva Green was a scene stealer as the super sexy Artemisia. Not a character you'd want to f**k with...literally. I like how they tied her back story in with the Persian messenger from the first film. The big draw here is the navel battles which don't disappoint.

My favorite moment had to have been when Themistocles was on his horse jumping from ship to ship taking out Persians. Is it utterly ridiculous looking? Yep! I guess my only disappointment was the short run time and the ending which left us hanging.

RAM THEM! /10

The first one was really cool. We get to meet Thomas Kretschmann as Baron von Strucker, talking about sacrificing HYDRA cells over the world to keep his own a secret during the coming months. Then we were introduced to "the twins", a.k.a. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. You get to see some display of powers - Quicksilver throwing himself around in a superspeed fit and Scarlet Witch levitating some building blocks, before crushing them together. Looked pretty cool and Scarlet definitely gave offa bit of a eerie vibe. At this point it definitely seems like they will join the Avengers as infiltrators, so that will be interesting to see come into play. Looking forward to seeing more of both of them.

The last after-credits scene was of Bucky starting to find out about his old life. Didn't really have to be an after-credits scene in my opinion, they could have just stuck it to the regular ending.

Eeeh. It was pretty, and fun, but it took a long time to get anywhere and some of the historical changes were outright moronic. Also, Themistocles spends the movie waxing heroic about the glory of fighting for Greek freedom; in reality, later joins the Persians. Woo.

The scene at the battle of Marathon and that really God-damn stupid bit at the end with the horse what the f**k felt more like the director was taking the piss out of Zack Snyder, but the rest was good.

This one is a lot of fun, with some nice gadgets and great actions scenes. Aki is probably one of my favorite Bond girls as well. The movie also happens to be kind of batshit crazy. Leave it to Roald Dahl to write a story where Bond "becomes Japanese" and is trained in martial arts by the shittiest ninjas ever. :laugh: Really, if I had any complaint about this one, it's that a lot of the gadgets aren't effectively built up, like the safe cracker Bond just randomly pulls out of his ass when he needs one.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

This is mostly a very good film, with Lazenby and Savalas giving fine performances, even if they're not quite as good as their predecessors. Diana Rigg makes for a brilliant female lead, and some of the action sequences, especially the "demolition job," are pretty spectacular. That being aid, the first hour could have been tightened up a bit and there is way too much skiing for my tastes later on. The ending is fantastic, and it's too bad the next movie wasted any potential that had for sequel material.

This time I have the gadgets, and I know how to use them. /10

Nymphomaniac (2014)

"For every hundred crimes committed in the name of love, only one is committed in the name of sex. Love distorts things, or even worse, love is something you've never asked for. The erotic was something I'd asked for, even demanded of men, but this idiotic love -- I felt humiliated by it, and all the dishonesty that follows. The erotic is about saying yes -- love appeals to the lowest instincts, wrapped up in lies. How do you say yes when you mean no, and vice versa?"

"When a man leaves his children because of desire, we accept it with a shrug, but you as a woman -- you had to take on a burden of guilt that could never be alleviated. And all and all, all the blame and guilt that piled up over the years became too much for you, and you reacted aggressively; almost like a man, I have to say. And you fought back. You fought back against a gender that had been oppressing and mutilating and killing you and billions of women."

The greatest director in the world finally bares his soul completely, and deconstructs his entire filmography as an angry, wounded response to years of stupid critics misreading his obviously misanthropic but deeply female-sympathetic work. For an artist who once forced his cast and crew into a confession box to record their anxieties and fears, this is his own belated four hour semi-autographical confessional. I laughed, I cried, and as always with Von Trier, I felt tremendous empathy for a person who time and time again manages to turn his suffering, terror and loneliness into deeply felt artistic mirrors -- look into them and you might catch a glimpse of yourself laughing to keep from crying, too.

This is the first 10/10 I've given to a Lars film, too -- he's not about being perfect, he's about being powerful, and while this suffers from his usual flaws (the characters are often obviously used as mouthpieces for him and his opinions), it's maybe his most powerful.

Diamonds are Forever

f**k me, this is just half-assed and dull. The whole thing feels cheap, the girls are awful, and I keep expecting Blofeld to jump up on his desk and demonstrate the Time Warp for us. Even Sean Connery is pretty bad here, and that's saying something. There are one or two cool bits like the elevator fight, and I did chuckle when Bond said he had "a friend named Felix who can fix anything," but those are few and far between.

I tend to defer to Hopkins, simply because his performance is an undisputed classic, but Mads is doing so ridiculously well that I let him tie for top spot with Hopkins. As for the other Lecters, I like Cox alright, but the character wasn't developed enough at that point for him to really stand out. Ulliel is... eh.

Red Dragon and Manhunter, which tell the same story essentially.

I like this one a lot. Roger Moore does a fine job bringing a new interpretation to Bond, and Yaphet Kotto is cool as always. It also has some fun set pieces and one of my favorite theme songs from the series. That being said, the movie is kind of ridiculously racist.

Nymphomaniac - Volumes I & II

If you're one of those who thinks Nymphomaniac is just glorified arthouse porn, you're in for a nasty surprise. What it is, is a brutally raw and honest film that, as Cvalda has pointed out already, often acts as a mouthpiece for the director. While disturbing and tragic, it does have its darkly humorous moments.

People familiar with Von Trier will see the ending coming. But this is not a film to watch if you're looking for some kind of grand closure. No matter how I phrase it, it's going to send terribly punny (and there's a few more unintentional puns ahead I'm sure)... but the real meat is in the story.

However, as powerful and as well-written as the film is, it does feel overlong. And that is my issue with it. It is already not an easy watch, which is to be expected. But it is a bit of a drag at 4 hours long. Quite honestly, it's not a film I will watch again but not one that I regret seeing either.

It's difficult to rate this film because I can definitely appreciate the intelligent approach to the subject and the way Lars has expressed himself but I just feel that it could have been condensed to a tighter story and then there's the grating presence of Shia LaBeouf who serves the film's weakest performance...

8/10
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Mar 31, 2014, 12:56:02 PM
The length didn't bother me at all, because every scene was so well-written and filled with clever, funny, poignant fine details. Bring on the 5+ hour Director's Cut, I say! :P Only chapter I felt dragged on too long was the hospital scenes with Joe's father.

Shia didn't bother me like I thought he would because he's actually barely in the film (and gets recast with another actor in Vol II), and he's playing essentially a worthless sack of shit -- a role he plays to perfection ;D

Watching Return Of The King now, that scene of Arwen's vision always hits me right in the heart as I grew up with the film, my father looks like Viggo, beard and alland when I was about eight he left. (Only get to see him very rarely even now.) So yeah, definitely my favourite scene in all three personally very powerful for me.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Well, that was... strange. :laugh:

I didn't really know anything about this film other than it had Tim Curry playing a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania. Wonderful performance from Curry though and the rest of the cast was great as well. Didn't expect to see Meatloaf in this, but it was nice surprise. Also, while I never found Susan Sarandon that appealing before, I have to say that seeing her performe Touch Me made me change my mind quite a bit.

Noah

While I wouldn't say it was anywhere near perfect, I actually kind of loved this movie. Noah's character arc was genuinely fascinating, and the actors all did rather well, with standout scenes from most of the cast. It was also visually spectacular, my favorite part being when Noah tells the creation story. My only complaint is that the second half was much stronger than the first. Overall, it was very good. Shatner must have serious rock monster envy now.

Sabotage (2014)

I enjoyed the f**k out of this. It's probably Arnold's darkest and most violent film to date. End of Days got pretty dark and nasty at times but not like this. I think a lot of it has to do with the realism David Ayer brings to his films. All the characters in this are highly violate individuals who lack any dignity. They're really fun to watch. Each actor is having a ball playing these crazy lunatics with a badge. My favorite would be Joe Manganiello's Grinder. Overall it could have been better in some spots but it was highly enjoyable. I looooved the ending. It felt like it was straight out of a western.

Now I gotta check out Street Kings.

The Man with the Golden Gun

The initial premise is intriguing, and Scaramanga and Knick Knack make for a great villain/henchman duo, but the film is thoroughly mediocre on the whole. Mary Goodnight is a terrible Bond Girl, and the assassin gunning for Bond plot is pissed away in favor of a villain plot involving... wait for it... solar power. :laugh: Overall, if you want to see a Christopher Lee/Britt Ekland flick, just watch The Wicker Man.

The Spy Who Loved Me

It's basically a retread of You Only Live Twice, but I think I like this one a little better, even without Connery. Moore really gets to shine in this one, and it makes the best of his more humorous touches. Also, it has Jaws. Who bites a f**king shark at the end. That is awesome. My only regret is that McClory wouldn't let them use Blofeld, and this would have made for a far better send off for the character than what he ultimately got.

Only God Forgives

Only half way through so far but I'm enjoying it. It's kind of hypnotic and hallucinatory and feels like an Asian movie. Sexually repressed Ryan Gosling chews scenery without saying anything and his vaguely incestuous mother is already high on my list of "Bitchy characters I want to see dead".

So far so good.

Only God Forgives, part II.

I really enjoyed it. A bizarre, surreal film to be sure. I can certainly understand people not liking it, but I cannot understand tripe like people calling it the worst film ever at film festivals.

Ryan Gosling does everything with nothing. Sexually repressed, emotionally stunted manchild full of impotent rage with mother issues to make Oedipus blush. Kirsten Scott Thomas' incestuous (It didn't stay vague for long) evil matriarch is someone we can all get behind hating. Vithaya Pansringram was apparently told by Refn "you are god", and it comes across. Chang is absolute, untouchable, omnipresent and utterly in control.

There are moments where style gets in the way of substance, sure. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Definitely go'n buy at some point.

That's one way to return to the womb/10

Also earlier today

King Kong '33

Maaaan, I love this movie. Stop motion effects are my favourite. I don't think they're the best, or most convincing, I just love watching old movies and seeing how they went about combining the stop motion and live-action elements with the limits of the time.

Unlike the remakes the script itself doesn't seem to have a whole lot of sympathy for Kong, but O'Brien's performance gives him a charm and personality that made those little 18 and 24" stop motion puppets become one of the most memorable characters in history. The rest of the cast are very, uh, 1930s. But dammit, Kong's the star here, and he shines in all his rabbit furred glory.

I also like how this film blends Fay Wray in the full scale Kong hand with the puppet in shots looking over Kong's shoulder better than the '76 movie made 43 years later.

Dat casual 30s sexism/10

Sabotage

This was fun. The cast was enjoyable all around, especially Mireille Enos and Arnold. The last 20 minutes were properly badass, and I enjoyed the hell out of the ending. Really, my biggest complaint is that Herc Hansen didn't get enough to do. Sure, a few things didn't make much sense, but who cares, it was entertaining.

Saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier last night.  That was by far the most well crafted Marvel movie to date.  So much incredible choreography, acting, well placed humor, VFX and unbelievable surprises.  Blows Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World way the f**k out of the water.  This is pretty close to passing The Avengers for me. 

9.8/10

Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter

Unfortunately I won't get a chance to watch Captain America: The First Avenger or The Avengers before seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier tonight, but at least I had a chance to watch this short and Tuesday's episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that leads into the film.

Agent Carter is definitely my favorite of the One-Shots, and it was just as exciting to watch now as it was in September when I first watched it. Hayley Atwell is fantastic as Peggy (can't wait to see more of her in The Winter Soldier tonight), and I love the ties to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe that come into play at the end of the short. I really do hope that that Peggy Carter television show comes into fruition.

Thriller: A Cruel Picture a.k.a. Hooker's Revenge a.k.a. They Call Her One Eye

A solid revenge flick complete with random porn footage and mismatched sound effects. I can definitely see where Tarantino drew inspiration from for Kill Bill and perhaps even Death Proof to some degree. There are some missed opportunities and it could have done with a little more style and camp factor. They could have taken the matching eyepatches thing a little further for comedic effect. They could have done with an actual score. They could have ditched the awkward porn footage and kept the sex scenes implied. There are major pacing issues and the slow motion is overused.

But it was an entertaining revenge flick.

I like this one. It's more of a classic spy thriller, and Moore does quite well as a Bond who's quite a bit darker than he usually plays. The rock climbing scene is properly intense, and the part where he kicks the guy off a cliff is just badass. The plot twist was pretty decent, too.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

This was unbelievably good. I loved every moment of it, from start to finish. The movie picks up following the events of The Avengers with Steve still trying to find his place in the world. There's also something strange going on with Shield...or is it Shield? From there the film catapults into a non-stop adventure conspiracy involving (HAIL!) Hydra.

The First Avenger was a great movie that I loved dearly. The Winter Soldier builds upon that, and surpasses it. There are still wonderful nods to the first film too. The scene when Rogers visits the exhibit dedicated to him and the Howling Commandos was one of my favorites. What they did with Arnim Zola was both creepy and weird. It served as a great exposition scene to explain how Hydra got to where they are now. As for the Winter Soldier himself, I thought there should have been a little more; seems like he got a bit shafted with screen time like Malekith from Thor: The Dark World.

The action sequences didn't disappoint in the slightest. I had this big stupid f**king grin on my face as The Falcon is whipping and weaving between Helicarriers taking out the bad guys. Also the assassination attempt on Fury was very well done. In the end, this was and is a perfect way to kick off the summer movie season.

When do we start? /10

Yeah, the intro is a bit too silly. I blame Kevin McClory. I do like that it provides me with more ammunition against that silly code name theory, though.

Escape Plan - loved it, for all of its holes, naffness and cheese. It really was just like a 90s movie, replete with dodgy CGI - and Vinnie Jones's gurning bad guy was great - no motivation, no arc - he was just a bastard. For no reason. Epic - five stars!

The Wolverine - Extended Edition

Sayonara!/10

Not a bad bit of fun. Lots of missed opportunities though... some VERY generic dialogue along the way and a final fight that wasnt as epic as it should've been. Film could've used less "save the princess in the castle!" and more "plucky badass sidekick!" routines as well. :P  Cinematography was stunning at times, full of colours and detail, the best that the Xmen franchise has seen so far.

I think next week's episode will deal a bit with that. Also, there are going to be a few more cameos from the movies before this season is over. Perhaps Fury. Would be cool to have Natasha show up as well. 8)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

f**king awesome. This may just be my new favorite MCU movie. Everything worked just so f**king well. Johansson has only gotten better as Black Widow with every movie, and that's not bad for an actor who was originally Favreau's second choice. Evans is great again, and Anthony Mackie is a welcome new addition. Really, the whole cast was damn good, Robert Redford and Sam Jackson being my favorites. My only complaints were that could have done a bit more with Winter Soldier, and they didn't play the Captain America march from TFA once.

Spoiler

-It was great seeing Zola again, and I hope that he somehow comes back later on.

-I actually thought that Fury was dead, and I was genuinely surprised when he popped back up alive. His trick with the eye was pretty awesome, and the sunglasses were pure jefe.

-I was pleased by the fact that Pierce was just Pierce, not Red Skull or Zemo. The lack of a true singular villain went well with the themes, IMO.

-Man, Han from TDK always dies in these comic book movies, doesn't he?

-I don't know what they have planned, but I want moar Frank Grillo, pronto.

-Peggy  :'(

It's hard for em to pick favorite moments, but I'd probably say it's a toss up between the Pulp Fiction shout out and the kid in my theater who went "Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?" when Winter Soldier's identity was revealed.  :laugh:

What started out as a joke stream, ended up being a damn good surprise for Blabel and I. Stone Cold is a surprising undercover cop movie that gets getting crazier and crazier all the way up to the end. Freaking Lance Henriksen plays the most badass evil biker overlord I have ever seen, and I will jokingly say that it's his best role, cus god damn he's so good at being an evil motherf**ker in this. This movie is 90s machismo done right.

I understand completely. For me, the biggest error was simply... How on earth did this mimetic poly alloy get through the time displacement field if it's pure liquid metal?! Part one clearly stated only organic objects pass through.

Then I feel silly for thinking that far into a movie about robots and time travel. Still, that is a valid question from a story-construction vantage point. :)

Under the Skin (2014)

An alien travels across space to Earth, and begins her first day on the job by literally stripping her predecessor of the position (who sheds a few tears, unnoticed by our heroine), and sets to work: her mission, lure young men to be preyed upon by her species. Her opening question: "Are you alone?" If the reply is affirmative, she steps up her efforts – if not, she immediately moves on to the next target. She seems to have the same drive most new hires do, and she has a quota to fill. Her supervisors keep a close scrutiny.

"Are you alone?" A lot of the people she encounters are. One by one she picks off loners, no one who will be missed – but her curiosity about this strange new species around her grows, as does her fascination with why they seem so infatuated with her to begin with. A gang of chavs attacks her van in what seems to be an attempt to rape her, but she's not familiar with the concept and drives off unfazed when it becomes apparent that these men are definitely not alone.

Days, perhaps weeks pass. She finds her next target, invites him into her van with a promise to take him to the grocery store. "Are you alone?" His face is severely disfigured – she doesn't notice. He doesn't answer. She continues with her questions. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Still no answer. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" He shakes his head "no". She stops the van, realizing this quarry is different – he doesn't seem to have the smug bravado of her usual prey. "Do you always go shopping at night?" "Yes." "Why?" "People wind me up." "Why do they do that?" "Because they're ignorant." As she disposes of him into the same trap she has many humans before, she seems to realize that her standard opening question – "are you alone?" – can perhaps be asked of herself. She catches sight of her human face in a mirror as she is about to return to her hunt. She studies it for a long time. She makes a decision.

She frees the disfigured man and abandons her job, ready to embrace her new skin and disappear into the throng of humanity – after all, these human people seem far more interested in her than her menacing alien supervisors. She tries to experience the normal rituals of humanity. She tries eating. It repulses her. She tries sex, the thing all these men wanted from her to begin with – until she discovers just what it entails, and reacts with what could be shock and disappointment. Try as she might, she is too different. Like the disfigured man who sparked her sympathy, there doesn't seem to be a place in the throng for her.

She escapes to the wilderness beyond civilization – if she cannot be part of humanity, perhaps she can be part of Earth's nature. She crosses paths with a forest ranger. "Are you alone?" he asks. She nods before losing herself deeper in the forest. But mankind (in both senses of the word) is not through with her, the compassion she developed for them will not be returned, and in one of the most devastating and surreal shots I can remember seeing, she will again confront the same kind of tears that her predecessor shed, but this time they will be her own.

As the end titles came up, I did not know how I felt. I listened to the typical multiplex audience around me – most of them were in small groups, and either laughed nervously at what they had just witnessed or expressed annoyed confusion. A pair of guys down the row, obviously unimpressed, sarcastically asked each other "what did it mean?" before moving on to the topic of their further plans for the evening – going to a club to pick up girls from the sound of it, a scenario our alien heroine gets swept up in early in the film, and during which shows her first flash of emotion (panic) when confronted by the strobing lights, loud music and flailing masses of people.

What did it mean?

I stepped out on to the street and immediately found myself confronted by the vast throng of Times Square, people swarming everywhere in excited groups while I tried to figure out exactly where I was and where I was going – and I at last realized how I felt: alone.

Huge improvement over the first movie.

Amazing shot.

In what ways was it an improvement?

I thought the ending was weak and the action scenes suffered from needless shakycam for the first one, but more or less enjoyed it. Is it worth checking this one out with those complaints, or more of the same in those areas?

As far as I can tell, there's no shaky cam in this. If there is, it's very little.

In my opinion, this film did what the first film did, but better. It's a good story and a well written script. You get to see the main characters deal with what they went through in the first movie and the toll it has taken on them. In many ways, the plot follows the same formula as the first, but they make it work and there's a point to it. The cast as a whole gives an excellent performance and both Katniss and Peeta, I think, really sell this movie. Their performances have only gotten better since the first film. Since they defied the regime in the first film, there's a lot more at stake here, both on a personal level and in the country as a whole. The action is tense, well directed and shot. The new arena offers a lot of interesting obstacles for our heroes and they are forced to not only compete, but also work with, the other contestants. There has been a big improvement in the costume, make-up and special effects area as well. I didn't have a problem with either of those in the first film, but you do notice a large difference when seeing this.

The ending set up some interesting things for the sequels, for sure.

I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Nothing really specific that I liked more that I would be able to articulate very well to you.

I can't recall any shakycam scenes so you'll probably be okay in the action scenes. As for the ending, if you didn't like the first movie's ending you most likely won't like this one any better. I've already read the books though, so neither ending bothered me.

And everything that Shas said.

Under the Skin (2014)

10/10

UNF! I didn't read your review because I want to keep as much a surprise as possible going into this film. Usually when I really anticipate a film, I tend to watch too much promotional material and read too many articles and then going into the film I wish I could undo some of that. But with Under the Skin I've been good at holding back from looking at too much. And with Snowpiercer too actually. I didn't watch many clips or read too much concerning that film and I had a really great time watching it.

The 10/10 score is promising enough for me and I will go back to reading your review when I'm done watching the film next month.

Catching Fire is stronger in terms of writing, style and I'd even say it ends stronger than the first one. And I don't remember any shaky-cam which means that if it was used, it certainly wasn't overused or annoying.

The Matrix 9/10

Holds up pretty damn well, it's certainly not as original as most think but it does have some great concepts, actors and a good plot.

After paying close attention, I don't think the sequels were needed at all as it implies that Neo having the mental capacity to do anything means that in the Matrix he could control everything, that wouldn't be a very interesting sequel but it implies humanity won from this ending.

I think with how well put together this one is, you can easily ignore the others.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I think the site's resident comic book readers have already done this justice with their glowing reviews, which I largely agree with. It's one of Marvel's strongest efforts, right up there with Iron Man Three, and a vast improvement on the original (i.e. the second half is no longer terrible).

Does need more Frank Grillo, though.

Funny you should mention Iron Man 3, since I was just thinking about how much the two films have in common thematically.

A View to a Kill

I enjoy this one for the most part, but it could have done with some better set pieces and a Bond who didn't look like he was going to keel over and die any minute. Moore's occasional rape face didn't help much, either. Zorin and May Day are great villains, and more than make up for that, though.

So, anyone else want to drop out? /10

Space Pirate Captain Harlock 3D

CGI film based on the old anime series of the same name. Amazing visual effects. The space battles in 3D looked great and action was awesome. Story was pretty solid too.

Good flick, one of my bettet impulse bluray purchases.

I watched The Living Daylights fairly recently and gave it a nod here, so I'm skipping right to

Licence to Kill

A proper badass movie in which Dalton proves he's a great Bond yet again. Robert Davi makes for a great villain, and the Miami Vice feel only added to it for me. I could have done without Carey Lowell, though. f**k me, did her bitching get old after a while.

I like this one a lot, it has great action and a great new Bond in Brosnan, even if I can't help but picture Robin Williams tossing fruit at him the whole time. Other than that, my only complaints are some of the overacting form the supporting cast and some very 90s music at times. Oh, and Sean Bean is in the movie. Guess what happens to him. :laugh:

Not bad. Not as good as GoldenEye, but not bad. I have to say though, I'm finding that Brosnan lacks a certain... conviction. He's almost too casual in the role, a little too nonchalant with the one liners. That being said, Michelle Yeoh gets to kick some ass and Jonanthan Pryce is hilariously over the top.

I like Brosnan fine, I just think the directors could have pushed him a little harder on his delivery. "They'll print anything these days" just doesn't have as much punch to it as it could or should.

I guess I'll give my general thoughts on the Brosnan era Bonds before  move on to the great-pretty good-great triple threat of Craig. Overall, I liked Brosnan as Bond, although he seemed to get less and less enjoyable as the movies went on. And I have to say, the first three, regardless of quality, all felt like the average action flicks of the time. DAD, on the other hand, is like the unholy offspring of Bond and xXx. Ugh. At least I'm now due to enter greener pastures on the Bond front.

This was a perfectly serviceable horror film, with some nice creepy moments and a fairly intriguing plot,which made up for it not be terribly scary most of the time.. It did start to wear thin for me after a while, though, and the near constant cutting between past and present got old around the 2/3 mark. That being said, the whole thing was worth sitting through solely for dat Karen Gillan. :-* Seriously, she was smokin' hot in this.

Definitely going to give that a look. Really, the only issue with Oculus for me was that the flashbacks were like the school scene from Oldboy stretched out for half a f**king hour.

Casino Royale

Brilliant, brilliant film. It takes the series in a much needed new direction, while still keeping the bare basics of the character in place. Daniel Craig is a great choice, hair color be damned. He brings a nice gritty sensibility to the character, emphasizing the stone cold killer that the other Bonds tended to only flirt with, Licence to Kill aside. Vesper Lynd is arguably the best Bond girl, as she provides an intellectual equal for Bond, and Eva Green has genuine chemistry with Craig.

Also, I'm finding Le Chiffre to be a somewhat underrated villain. He's not particularly grand or insane, but Mads Mikkelsen brings the creep factor and the sadism in spades, bringing out Bond's vulnerability like no other. The overarching conspiracy is also quite well done here, remaining in the shadows and piquing the interest. Mr. White is interesting as well. He seems to be in charge, but also does a surprising amount of grunt work. I hope we get to see him again, post-QoS.

The movie has some great action set pieces, but is pretty light on that front in comparison to the Brosnan films, which often seemed to be all about the action. This one makes up for that with tension and suspense, which are laid on generously throughout. The card game is especially great for this.

Now, one observation and a very, very minor gripe:

Spoiler


-I chuckled a bit this time around when Le Chiffre threatened to feed Bond his genitalia. It just figures Hannibal Lecter would do that.  :laugh:

-How in the f**k did Mr. White retrieve the brief case with the money? Jus moments before it was sinking to the bottom of the canal. ???

[close]

But, silly complaint aside, this is a genuinely great film and in the top tier of the Bond franchise.

Everything or Nothing

This was a very good documentary. I enjoyed hearing the Bond actors they had on hand talk about their experiences, especially Lazenby and his counter culture shenanigans. Oh, and I lost it when f**king Bill Clinton just randomly showed up towards the end. :laugh:



Quantum of Solace

Well, I like this one. It falls short of Casino Royale, but it isn't bad. Really, the biggest issues are the length and pacing. It's too short and fast moving for its own good, and doesn't take the time to breathe as often as it should. When it does slow down though, is when the movie exceeds, in my opinion. The dramatic scenes are all very well handled. I also like Dominic Greene as a villain, and I actually think his plan is kind of eerily plausible. So, QoS is imperfect, but still pretty good. Bring back Quantum and Mr. White before Craig's run is over, please.

Finally got around to seeing Man Of Steel. It was better than I expected, I'd heard it was a non-stop 'splosion fest, but it's fairly short on loudness before the last 35-40 mins. Although... opening with a poorly-explained action sequence featuring people we don't care about in an environment we don't understand... maybe not the best way to kick off a new series.

Anyway, on the whole, patchy film. Cinematography and Zack Snyder's aesthetic sense are top-drawer, it's filled with strong actors (and Henry Cavill is clearly motivated in the role - he does a good job, which surprised me), art and design concepts are beautifully realised, the score is potent (though somewhat generic and lacking memorable themes - as you expect from a modern action soundtrack).

Main downside is the script, which flows jerkily and is packed with dumb moments. I had my eyes rolling through most of the first half-hour. And if you're familiar with a certain Kevin Smith story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYhLIThTvk), there are many bizarre, derivative or photo-op elements which feel very Jon Peters.

The emphasis of the story is on Superman as an alien rather than a hero (encountering heroism on the way to coming to terms with his otherworldliness). You can see where the Nolan influence comes in, as it feels like a story that's getting to grips with a 'realistic' scenario of the world being introduced to a godlike alien, in the same veign of Bruce Wayne as a 'real' person in Batman Begins. While this does generate some decent narrative, it does mean suffering through an awful lot of Emo Clark... and yet another cinematic telling of Superman's origin story.

Man Of Steel deliberately ignores the previous films, but it both benefits and suffers from their existence. Without prior knowledge, you'd have little reason to care about any of its characters, or to feel any depth to their relationships (particularly the central one of Lois and Clark). The downside is that it retreads a lot of ground - we spent a decade dealing with Clark's growing pains on Smallville, and General Zod is a villain whose arc was firmly sealed in Superman 2 (they find a new angle on him in MoS, but as with most of the characters, it's hard to care). And it lets down the preconceived notions we have of Superman - he's not a particular hero or paragon of virtue, focusing mainly on survival. He starts as a 30-something beardy drifter, and his eventual transition to glasses-bearing-reporter Clark comes out of nowhere.

Finally, when the action does come, it's just not very well done. Like most big-budget action films since Transformers, it's just a huge amount of money thrown at the screen with great frequency to very little effect. No memorable set-pieces or particularly satisfying exchanges.

3/5

Where do I even start? Well, right off the bat, I can tell you this movie sucked. Really.

Peter Parker's all angsty and whiny with Gwen Stacy in this tiresome and overlong sequel, not to mention he can now see dead people (cough cough, 'Sixth Sense' anybody?). None of the action seems even remotely exciting (save for the beginning scene with Parker's parents) and is just meant to play as a pointless CGI 3D fest. The villains, my God, are so flat and wooden that it makes 'Spider-man 3' look like a masterpiece. Electro acts more like an angry obsessed fan of Spider-man with super powers (whether he was like that in any comic book incarnation I'm not sure) rather than an actual super villain. Poor Harry Osborn has daddy issues and then spends the movie acting as an emo brat. Paul Giamatti is utterly wasted and unmemorable in his role as the Rhino that the movie practically forgets about him. 

Too many villains and too many plots happening all at once that I simply stopped caring halfway through. I'm really not looking well forward to a third installment

I didn't care for the first one much at all (it just felt so passionless), and apart from the interesting colors the sequel looked like an overblown mess right from the beginning.

I don't know what it was about the third (or was it fourth? fifth?) trailer, maybe the way it was edited together, but something about it kind of piqued my interest. But then the footage after that just sunk everything back down to where it started.

The first will always be my favorite, but the second is great as well (even if the reason for losing his powers doesn't really sit well with me). As far as the third film goes, it is most certainly a mess, but I tend to look at it like an Alien 3-type situation. I can't help but like it for what it is, and as convoluted as the movie gets I loved the way they closed off Harry's story.

Agreed with the last few posts. The first Superman was my favourite film for a while as a teenager (despite never being a particular comic fan), but there's only so many times you can watch it before it loses its effect.
Superman 2 is fun, but not the icon of wholesomeness that the original is.

If you're going to watch Superman II, I recommend watching both the original and Richard Donner cut, which are significantly different from each other. The original (by Richard Lester) is the one that most people have watched. The Richard Donner cut omits a lot of the cartoon cheesiness and goofy humor and adds a more serious tone. Many fans consider this the superior version.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

I liked this a whole lot more than the first movie.

The movie find its strenght with the lead characters, played by Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Great chemistry and characters you can root for and relate to. The villains left something to be desired. Electro, or Max before he became Electro in particular, ranged from a parody of a lonely nerd to a man you could feel for, but at the same time a man with an obsession. Goblin was underused, but given the ending, I suppose they are setting him up for future movies.

Now, let's talk about the one scene the movie handled extremely well.

Spoiler
That being the tragic death of Gwen Stacy. Like I said, they handled it extremely well. Heartbreaking. Emma Stone have been a pure joy to watch as Gwen and to see her character die gets to you. Both Emma and Andrew sold it with their performances. Very emotional, very sad. Definitely the movie's strongest moments. It sure got to me. :'(

The aftermath was done very well and Peter coming to terms with what he had to do and the movie ending with a more upbeat note did not in any way diminish Gwen's death, quite the opposite.

Because in Hollywood all ugly girls can be made beautiful through the simple application of makeup and an attitude change.

Same thing; it can be generalized to the point where the message is: "you can get a hot partner if you're an ugly individual once the partner sees your inner beauty!" (though it still is a bit sarcastic sounding).

Point is: none of it does apply.

I find it to be an interesting take on a prequel while still being relatively viewable as a standalone product. I love the 82 version very much and seeing how closely they were able to bridge them together was quite pleasing. Elizabeth Winstead was very convincing in her role, and the creatures, while much more elaborate in design, were in keeping with the original, to myself at least. :)

I would certainly not be opposed to a sequel bridging the two films together.

In fairness, Vickers may have actually meant TTFAW and my literal nature simply did not register it. I'm probably inclined to assume that in hindsight, as Vickers does not strike me as the type to make such errors, ergo i am the mistaken one.

Sorry, my mistake. It's not the original but it is superior to The Thing From Another World and it's simply titled The Thing, so I assumed Mr. Sin would know what I meant. And he did. :P

Ah, I'm vindicated it seems. Good show, Vickers. :D

Guy needs a magic ability to see all women based on their personalities.
So he starts dating this women but his friend can't believe that he's with this overweight woman.
He loses his magic ability after his friend finds a way to break the spell.
When he sees his girlfriend for how she really looks, he freaks out and stops seeing her.
Eventually he comes to his senses and realises he likes her for who she is but he would never have been with her in the first place if it wasn't for that "spell."

And it's Jack Black... I'm not so sure that counts. :P

Just watched the original cut of Gojira for the first time. First of all, the Blu-ray transfer was fantastic (guess that means I'm going to need to get some more Criterion Blus...). The movie itself was excellent as well; it was certainly much better than the King of the Monsters version that I grew up with. Excellent visuals for the time, a fantastic score, and overall a great allegorical tale told in the form of one of the most iconic monster movies ever.

Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah

Childhood favorite of mines that has to this day remained my favorite movie of the Heisei series, successfully rebooting Ghidorah from the weak ass mofo he eventually became in the Showa flicks to a new more evil and dangerous version that I feel has never ever been recaptured in any of the other movies to feature him afterwards. Stupid ridiculous plot involving aliens (as usual :P) and time travel; but who the f**k cares? It's a great excuse to make Godzilla even bigger and more powerful than he had ever been at the time. ;D

Godzilla And Mothra The Battle for Earth

I've never been a huge fan of any of the movies involving Mothra I've always felt they were too slow or boring and Mothra is just such a boring monster. This is no different but it makes up for it with some cool effects work. Battra is cool and has a rad ass design, just wish we got more of him and less of Mothra.

Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla II

Mechagodzilla has always been one of my favorite Godzilla villains but I never really liked this version, mostly cause of the face they gave him. Super Mechagodzilla II makes up for it by basically being a f**king Gundam in a Godzilla movie. :laugh:

Rodan is awesome as always. Godzilla's battle with Mecha-G II at the end while not as over the top and awesome as in the Showa movies is still fun annnnnnnd...we have a baby Godzilla that doesn't look like shit for once! Also, dat f**king soundtrack. 8)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

So Andrew Garfield's neck is terrifying (well paired with Emma Stone's ridiculous eyeballs) and he looks about 40, there're too many subplots and any sense of proper pacing goes right out the goddamn window, action sequences mostly felt like I was lost in a giant CGI blender, romantic sequences walk that fine line between D'Awwww and MY FLESH IS BURNING, Hanz Zimmer's score is lost in the nonsensical soundscape (... actually that might be his score), I have no idea why Paul Giamatti is even here, and Max Dillon/Electro is a looney tunes Joel Schumacher-grade villain who ultimately serves as little more than a distracton from what this film really is: an origin story for the Green Goblin (Sting from Dune). 

But this is fun in a goofy enough way. Best part was Chris Cooper's cameo as Meg Mucklebones.

Spoiler
Regarding Gwen's death, it's a well orchestrated scene that's sadly let down by CONSTANT foreshadowing. Her graduation speech at the beginning might as well have gone: "GEE WIZZ I SURE AM GLAD I GOT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL WITH A FULLY INTACT SPINE DOOP DE DOOP" etc.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica III: Rebellion

I don't know what I'm supposed to feel... :-\

Not a bad thing btw the ending is just really...bittersweet, in a f**ked up kind of way.

Spoiler
Not liking how Homura seems to basically become a manipulative friend who keeps Madoka from being god in what can best be described as an abusive controlling relationship in order to keep her with her forever. At least that's what I got out of it, either that or I'm stooooopid as f**k.
[close]

Other than that though, the action was great. I can only describe it as Madoka Magica meets The Avengers in terms of scale. The story completely deserved the consideration for an Oscar it received. Also the visuals, goddamn the visuals are an experience on their own I'd go and say this movie features the best magical girl transformation ever. Seeing
Spoiler
Kyubey dying, I guess? :P
[close]
was the best way to close it off. Hope they do make something extra since it still felt abrupt as hell in the end. The movie is also pretty long, much longer than I expected, it's almost two hours.

Also bebe is da best, too cute yo.

Alright, I guess I'll try to convey my thoughts as they come to me.

Spoiler
First off, I need to get the obvious shit out of the way. This is one of the most visually, and auditory movies I've ever seen. The reviews were right when they were calling Glazer the next Kubrick. They have a lot of similarities in the way that they use unusual shots, and music that most people would never think to expect in a movie, and it's just f**king fantastic. Every single shot is beautiful and helps to convey the character's emotions, thoughts, confusion and emptiness. The same goes with the soundtrack. Sends chills down my spine hearing those violins and drums. However, there only seemed to be one main theme throughout the soundtrack with small variations in each track, but, hey, it works. Nothing wrong there. Both of these elements combined worked perfectly in that they were able to keep my attention the entire time, while also being able to make my thoughts wander off into all of the right places, and by that I mean, get me to think of the themes of the movie, and the importance of symbolism in the visuals and audio.

As for the actual story line, it is very different from your average joe flick in the way that it tries to express itself. Again, very similar to some of Kubricks techniques. The director tries to get YOU to think about what's happening and you have to come to your own conclusions and speculations. There was not a single bit of exposition in this entire movie. I'll try my best below to interpret character thoughts, motivations and the like.

The movie starts off with just one dot of light in the center of the screen, which expands, and has some sort of cylinder enter inside of it. Now, this is the only part of the movie where I was thoroughly confused as to what was happening on the screen. The only thing that I could come up with was this was Scareltt's entrance or birth, into this world. Her character is like a blank slate of nothingness. She doesn't seem to have any wants or desires that I was able to discern. One by one, she seduces her prey to harvest them for meat, and she thinks nothing of it. That is until her last victim who was a very disfigured man, who would be widely seen as ugly, and she points out the only good characteristic of him that she could find, which were his hands. He's the first man that she allows to actually touch her, and she actually enjoys it and yearns for more human touch. When she brings him back to her home she can't follow through with it, and ends up setting him free and making a run for it; away from her partner/other secret alien agent guy who seems to be in charge of her. While driving she ends up in a massive fog, and literally and metaphorically, she is lost. She doesn't know what to do, or what she wants to do. So, she completely abandons the vehicle, the same one that she used to kidnap all of those men, completely leaving her past self behind, and just walking the road to see where it leads her. By this point, she thinks that she wants to be with us. She's seen the kindness of humans, and yearns for more of that, so she tries her best to become a human. She ends up at a restaurant, and orders some sort of chocolate cake. That's something that is almost universally loved by humans... the moment she tastes it she spits it out. It's disgusting to her (I assume she ate some of the men she harvested?), and this is the first sign that she can't become one of us. As she leaves she meets a kind man, who recognizes her distress and attempts to help her. They begin to form a relationship, and right before he can insert his penis into her, and fully connect as human beings, she realizes again that this isn't for her, and something like this would never be possible, which throws her mental state into disarray again. Again, she wanders lost and ends up in the woods, and during this walk she meets a man, who tries to give her some unwanted help (I knew right away something was up with this guy. I thought he was a serial killer or something.  :laugh:). She finds a small shelter that hikers are free to use, to take shelter from the dangerous world. In there she thinks she'll be safe, but as she falls asleep the man comes in and attempts to molest her, and she flees the scene. The man eventually catches up to her, and attempts to rape her. In this altercation he ends up ripping her skin, and we get our first glimpse at what's UNDER THE SKIN. The would be rapist becomes frightened and runs away. She then tears away the rest of the disguise, and we see what's underneath. Essentially, nothing. Just a black humanoid figure, which represents the blank slate that she started off with, with no personality or ability to think for herself, and the skin that she had been using was a tool to gain some of those human characteristics. The skin has been torn away and she is back to nothing. The man returns, pours gasoline on her and burns her alive. She flees to put out the fire, I guess, but there is no real urgency in her movements. She has given up. She saw what humans were capable of and she wanted that. She realized that this wasn't going to possible, but tried anyways. In the end the worst of us still rejected her, and in the end she accepted that and let herself burn away.

That was my interpretation of the entire film anyways, but that's why I absolutely loved it. It was a perfect film.

I can see why one would think of the ending as very sad, but I didn't really feel any emotion that almost brought me to tears. It was mostly confusion, dismay, and depression at the state of humanity. Things that usually bring tears, but for some reason, I didn't have any sadness because of it.

Excalibur

I've been on an Arthurian legend binge recently trying to research a story, and decided to watch this for the first time in forever just to remind myself of the "definitive" Arthur movie.

I really, really don't know what to think of this. Terribly miscast in places, but perfectly cast in others. Bares little more than a superficial resemblance to the actual legend and misses much of the good stuff. The cinematography flips between beautiful, romantic medieval iconography to embarrassingly obvious "Yes, this was shot on a sound stage, deal with it".

But honestly, the thing that sticks with me the most is the fact that Arthur's mother is played by director John Boorman's daughter, and he does so linger on her breasts early on. Does explain why the dude on top of her never once removes any of his armour during the entire sex scene.

No seriously dude that's your daughter/10

Riddick Movies have a lot of defects in all levels, but at least you have the feeling that the director is really committed to what he is doing and that he tries to do his best and puts passion on it... Just that the poor guy is not really good at it. Anyway i enjoy them for what they are, entertaining mindless B movies. Pich black was really entertaining and the best of the 3. The second one was too ambitious , and the third one is almost unwatchable, even I made it till the end. (Can't say the same of many modern blockbusters).

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Spoiler
So Andrew Garfield's neck is terrifying (well paired with Emma Stone's ridiculous eyeballs) and he looks about 40, there're too many subplots and any sense of proper pacing goes right out the goddamn window, action sequences mostly felt like I was lost in a giant CGI blender, romantic sequences walk that fine line between D'Awwww and MY FLESH IS BURNING, Hanz Zimmer's score is lost in the nonsensical soundscape (... actually that might be his score), I have no idea why Paul Giamatti is even here, and Max Dillon/Electro is a looney tunes Joel Schumacher-grade villain who ultimately serves as little more than a distracton from what this film really is: an origin story for the Green Goblin (Sting from Dune). 

But this is fun in a goofy enough way. Best part was Chris Cooper's cameo as Meg Mucklebones.

Spoiler
Regarding Gwen's death, it's a well orchestrated scene that's sadly let down by CONSTANT foreshadowing. Her graduation speech at the beginning might as well have gone: "GEE WIZZ I SURE AM GLAD I GOT THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL WITH A FULLY INTACT SPINE DOOP DE DOOP" etc.

Giger, Dali, Welles, O'Bannon, Mike Jagger, Chris Foss, Moebius, and in front of them, Jodorowsky, one of the most brilliant and crazy artists ever!

They need a franchise.

Olympus Has Fallen.

I definitely prefer White House Down. This just takes itself too seriously. It's funny really, because WHD has a more believable siege (IMO) but after that it turns into a buddy movie that just keeps getting crazier and crazier.

I just think Olympus tries so hard to be dark and gritty that its just not entertaining.

Tora,Tora,Tora

Forget the rubbish film 'Pearl Harbour', THIS IS THE ONLY MOVIE ON PEARL HARBOUR. This film. Holy shit,This film. Amazing,both sides of the conflict are told in a realistic,how it would have been,just pure WW2 drama and action of the event. The bombing itself is a film spectical. Some of the stunts looked hell dangerous and come off even better because of it,gives the film a real sense of the damage. The amount of aircraft being destroyed in ways that look brilliant and the aerial shots,amazing.

And that ending shot is just heavy.

Seriously.

Godzilla Vs. Space Godzilla

Space Godzilla is a pretty cool monster. Shame the rest of the movie doesn't measure up to his awesomeness. It's pretty dull and aside from a few cool battles just isn't entertaining enough even with such a short run time. Also Little Godzilla must be destroyed.

Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah

Overratedness aside (let's be honest it really is), Destoroyah is a rad monster, the very idea of Godzilla slowly dying is a great for a grand finale. Godzilla Jr. doesn't look like shit and once the battles really get going I'll let a lot of the faults slide cause the fights are f**king awesome.

Spoiler
Yes, I did shed a tear at Godzilla's death.

But "The Wolverine- Unleashed" Cut is great, especially if you're into the character and Japanese culture.
Also the bloodier violence and less restraint on the dialogue turns it from "pretty good" to "great" IMO.

This has held up incredibly well. It takes what the first movie did right and makes it even better. My only real complaint is that given how heavily built around Wolverine's past the movie is, they really should have brought back Sabretooth. Other than that, the movie's great. Nightcrawler is a great addition to the cast, and the rest do fine as well. Even Halle Berry is pretty good here.

That movie is just painfully bad. There are only a few select scenes that stand on in it; such as the opening credits with Logan & Creed moving through different eras of time, and Wade Wilson's lone moment to shine coming out of the elevator. I also felt that the Weapon X procedure was pretty cool too. Until literally seconds after..."Let's kill him and make another one!!!" Made no f**king sense.

But watching them in chronological order is basically impossible with DoFP thrown into the mix. Seriously, release order is the way to go.

Jurassic Park: The Lost World

Doesnt scratch the balls of the first film/10.

A few nice setpieces... but there's a lot of unlikeable and uninteresting characters and no heart to the storyline.
Pete Postlethwaite is very good... nobody else was at his level here.

Yeezus.

now i have Jurassic Park 3 to rewatch.. wich manages to be even worse.

if the rest of the film was great then i could have easily overlooked one silly over the top moment like that... but that's not the case.

If that scene didnt have the show-off-y gymnastics stuff... if it was just the girl taking one swing in the pipe then hitting the raptor in one simple well executed move... it would've been "slightly" better.. and i wonder if it was written that way. :P Regardless.. the really bad stuff in the film concerns the characters... the gymnastics scene is just the rotten cherry on top of a rotten cake. :P

ALIENS (Theatrical version)

Been a VERY long time since I watched the theatrical version. Seriously, been probably at least 17 years. I actually think I prefer this version now vs the Directors Cut (since I have seen the deleted/extended scenes so many times). The only thing I missed from the DC was Hudson's ultimate bad-ass speech scene (as corny as it is). Everything else I did not mind missing. This time anyway. Even wore my "BITCH" shirt by Serial Killer all day while waiting to watch the film (see Pics Of Yourself and Best Pic Of An Alien threads to see its' greatness ;D )

The Legend of Hercules (2014)

Renny Harlin used to be hot shit back in the day delivering such classics as Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger. That was until Cutthroat Island imploded his career along with Carolco Pictures. Since then he's had some success with films like Deep Blue Sea and The Long Kiss Goodnight. But one must come to the realization that he's washed up and his films are no where near the level of excitement and competence of his earlier work. I mean he must have had a HUGE hard-on for John McTernan's Die Hard with a Vengeance because 12 Rounds is pretty much the same set-up but with John Cena...um what.

So how does he do with making the LEGEND of Hercules? Well he fails. He fails miserably I might add. Once you get passed the sad CGI we're introduced to a shit load of cardboard cutouts called characters. Scott Adkins plays a mean king who grumbles a lot and has a hilarious glued on beard. It was nice to see Liam McIntyre from Spartacus Vengeance. That was a bit of inspired casting. But for f**k sake the guy playing Hercules was a dim bulb with zero charisma. Also they don't focus on his powers enough – oh there's one scene in which he's knocking people over with a giant lighting whip coming out of his sword. It looks a bit ruh-tarded, but he's channeling f**kING ZEUS!

most greek myths are f**king weird and silly and as far as i'm concerned the films adapting said myths should always have weird and silly shit in it... because it fits the style. X)  Immortals and the original Clash of the Titans "nail" the tone.

To me that movie and clash of the titans weren't bad movies.  A bad movie I never want to watch again.  I could watch wrath/clash of the titans and immortals with a big goofy grin on my face and then forget all about it until I watch it again with a big goofy grin on my face.

The same thing cannot be said about movies like AvPR where I literally cannot sit and watch it the whole way through.  Not even bored out of my mind in the desert in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do.

X-Men: First Class

Great return to form for the series. The new cast is fantastic for the most part, and the alternate history/cold war plot is just too cool. Its basically Thunderball with mutants, minus the interminable underwater scenes, and that is awesome. Really, my only complaints are that Beast's make up is kind of shit, and that some of the mutants are a tad underdeveloped. I'm looking at you, metrosexual guy with wind powers.

Guy tries to manipulate a child into helping him kill himself...
The child hurts herself and he ends up seeing how stupid he was being.

Very simple and that's the story. The "power of storytelling" is just what brings the characters together... and is what the main char uses to manipulate the girl. That's it. I dont really remember any really silly "THE POWER OF STORYTELLING SAVED THEM ALL!" nonsense. lolz. Guy is still trapped to a wheelchair by the end... and he still doesnt "get the girl" he loved.

X-Men (2000)

A terrific cast lays the foundation for how to make a good comic book film and future comic book movies in the genre. Lead by Charles Xavier's X-Men and the mysterious Wolverine, they do battle with Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. I felt the reason why this movie works so well is because they keep it pretty simple. Adapting the X-Men could be a daunting task but director Bryan Singer doesn't crack and delivers a fun, and intriguing story. Wolverine's introduction in the bar is one of the best and most effective scenes in the franchise as a whole.

The Wolverine

This is a low key,  but still badass, character piece for Logan. It more than makes up for Origins, and brings real depth to the character. The action scenes are all pretty great, too, and the "heart in your hand" moment is just epic. The supporting cast are all pretty god, from the always awesome Hoiroyuki Sanada, to the mpre than capable female characters.  To be honest, I don't even mind the admittedly overblown final set piece all that much. It's a bit out of place, but still pretty enjoyable.

Had the urge to rewatch this with some people. It holds up very well, the pacing, visuals, effects work, the tongue in cheek Harrison Ford performance, the fearsome Ewoks (lol) and not least - the last whole hour of the film essentially being one long climax, separated in 3 different sub-climaxes.

I'd say the only element that truly makes my toes cringe is the new song, performed and realized in a tone that is completely contradictory to the mood they established so well in Jabba's palace. It just sticks out like a sore thumb when you remember the original song and how that played out.

There are some excellent emotional scenes as well, Yoda's last exchange with Luke, Luke and Vader having a moment on Endor before they depart to meet up with Palpatine.

'How we doin'? Same as always. That bad, huh?' / 10

Good thing they didn't update some of the effects with new, sparkly CGI stuff as well. The film still stands as a towering performance in special effects, considering it was made 30 years ago. Removing/exchanging... 'improving' that would be pure film vandalism.

This one was a pretty standard monster film of the period. It's fairly decent, and reasonably entertaining when Toshio and his turtle fetish aren't eating up screen time.

Just finished it myself, too. It's basically a movie about a demented kid terrorist trying to aid a destructive monster turtle, lulz.

These 60s-70s kaiju films are basically like pornos that try and have plots, you just half-watch them til the action starts. :P

Gamera vs Barugon (1966)

It's bright, it's colorful, it's f**king boring. Barugon is fun, though -- a ridiculous lizard thing who a) has a prehensile tongue which b) exudes freeze breath and c) he shoots a DEADLY RAINBOW DEATHRAY FROM HIS BACK. Because this is an early Gamera movie, the government comes up with the bright idea of building a giant reflecting mirror to bounce the rainbow beam back at him and f**k him up. And then Gamera comes and brutally murders him.

One thing that separates Gamera films from Godzilla films is the imaginative, often f**king brutal, and sometimes very wacky fights that transpire. I mean ... I was like "Oh cooool, wait- whaaat? Oh SNAP! Bahahahahah!!!" During the final battle with Gyaos.

I really loved how Gamera takes out Barugon by the way. Slow and brutal.

6/10

No idea what this movie even tried to accomplish. It felt too short, even though it ran for about 2 plus hours. The feel good ending felt forced to me, I swear we needed either more time, or another movie because it cannot just end the way that it did. I don't hate the movie, I just didn't think it was all that interesting. I did like the whole Jerusalem scene, probably the best thing about that movie. A handful of actors I was surprised to see were just wasted, probably would have made for more interesting protagonists than Brad Pitt as well.

I really, really enjoyed this. It's not without its flaws, though. A few things are a bit rushed, and I could definitely have done without the first act breakup, but the rest of the film is so fun I can easily let that go. Oh, and Peter having Slade Wilson's "imaginary dead person" syndrome from Arrow was just weird. But yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of the film.

Jodorowsky's Dune (2014)

Fun documentary about the infamous failed film production, which surely would have ended up a super indulgent, badly dated clusterf**k of incompatible elements (Mick Jagger, Orson Welles, Pink Floyd, Salvador Dali, H.R. Giger?), but it definitely would have been something to behold. Jodorowsky himself comes across as an entertaining, enthusiastic crackpot visionary, and is himself more than enough to sustain the entire film without the inclusion of neckbeard talking head fanboy film critics, and a typically douchey Nicolas Winding Refn (who proclaims himself "the only person to have ever actually seen Jodorowsky's Dune" because he got a look at the fancy coffee table book shown to every studio back in the 70s. Okay.)

Dunno if they cover this in the film but... A lot of the elements Jodorowsky and Moebius came up with for Dune ended up on the Incal comic book series that they created together wich hasnt dated, actually and is still held up as a comic book classic. :) So it was a failure that led to a lot of success.. in a way. :)

Well, funny detail I only learned recently; in 007: Goldfinger, Gert Frobe (Auric Goldfinger) was dubbed by another actor throughout the whole movie. I never noticed anything, which must indicate that they did a very good redub, being mindful of making the lines spoken fit with the actors lip movements.

Maybe if you're a native English speaker, you can tell something is off - I dunno...

Jodorowsky's Dune.

One of the better film documentaries i've sat down to watch, all for a film that was never made. i remember seeing an extendted trailer for it ages ago, taken them some time to release it, Cva's review reminded me it was out.

I especially loved the part when he went to watch the Lynch version of the movie, got some great laughs out the documentary in general, gotta love Jodo so much passion especially for a guy in his 80's, Refrn is a douche but what he say's about jodo and the film is right.

I will rape Frank Herbert... with love / 10

Liberal Arts (2012)

Alex Cross (2013)

This was unsurprisingly shit. It's much better than Along Came a Spider but nowhere near as good as Kiss the Girls. Seeing Tyler Perry on screen sans a dress is a twist in itself. The rest of the cast basically sleep walk their way through the plot with the exception of Matthew Fox is has gone full crazy for this role.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

This was quite okay actually. Since its announcement it didn't much interest me. Hell going into it, I wasn't all that interested. For the most part it was enjoyable. The movie is however a CGI jizz fest. There's scenes, Christ the last act alone with Spidey fighting Electro was all CGI. To the point where it didn't look like I was watching a movie with real people doing real things – but a f**king cartoon. They explore Peter's parents more, which I liked and was needed. Jamie Fox as Max Dillon/Electro was pretty cool. I loved how he would go all Dr. Manhattan and form out of thin air. The big 'scene' was also very well handled. We all knew it was coming, but I felt Garfield and Stone played the scene off perfectly.

Don't you know? I am Electro /10

Breaking the Waves (1996)

Lars Von Trier does his re-imagining of Joan of Arc as a modern day, mentally handicapped young woman who believes sleeping with other men will save her paraplegic husband, and tragically suffers the wrath of the patriarchal local church and townspeople as a result. It's a half hour too long, and the script lacks the novelistic complexity of his subsequent work, but this is Von Trier's emergence as a mature filmmaker, Emily Watson's screen debut performance is awe inspiringly powerful, and the new Criterion Blu-ray restoration reveals it as one of the most visually beautiful films ever made.

Yeah, it made an unforgettable impression on me. It also has a deep, black satirical comment on religion or how we might have made a mockery out of faith and spirituality. Is it the old bearded men with their ancient rituals or the fool who understands Gods intentions best? Lars offers his opinion in the closing image.

Isn't Spidey's costume supposed to be assembled by whatever he could find by himself, a teenager still in high school?

That thing looks as if he made a trip to Jean Paul Gaultier's design studios in Paris and asked them to design a superhero suit of exotic fabrics and materials for him, if you know what I mean...

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Well, I like it. It's a bit of a shift from Road Warrior, but still pretty awesome in it's own right. It's also one of the most quotable movies ever, IMO. I quite like the ending, and it has the dwarf from Freaks, so that automatically makes it awesome.

Under the Skin

Well, that was something else.

Spoiler
I'm kind of at a loss for words. I have things running around in my head, but I don't know how to articulate them and properly convey my thoughts on the film. If only I could type in abstract images and sound. :D

I guess I'll start at the beginning. That opening sequence, the formation of the eye, was wonderful. I think that it is probably the most memorable sequence from the film, actually. The visual style established in that sequence and utilized throughout film was fantastic (especially in Scarlett Johansson's character's "sex room," for lack of a better term.

The basic plot points are pretty easy to nail, but it is only after leaving the theater and thinking about it that a lot of the symbolism is really starting to hit home. I love all the scenes with Scarlett in the car with the various men (especially the sequence with Adam Pearson's character). Some really intriguing insights not into humanity, but into people. I liked that a lot.

It was the finale that really hit home with me, though. Everything that happened in the forest scene was pretty spectacular. Like I said above, it is only now that a lot of the depth of the film is really starting to properly sink in, but there are some truly great moments in there. The rape scene in particular. Prior to that moment the film seemed to be approaching it's exploration of individuals from a non-biased perspective, but when taken in context with that scene everything becomes so much more jaded. It really helps put the rest of the film into perspective, as Scarlett Johansson's character seems to begin to understand just how horrible some people can be (even though humanity as a whole does not have to be, and is not, like that) and how much like those horrible people she actually is. By the end of the movie she seems to want so much to be more like the people that she was sentencing to their deaths rather than the man that tried to rape her, but she cannot be the person that she wants to be and, instead, is left with no other choice but to embrace her death in order to free herself form what she is.
[close]

I don't know if what I posted above makes sense, but yeah... there it is. I'm so glad that I got to see this in the theater, and definitely intend to see it again when the Blu-ray is released.

She's a lot like someone who, say, works in a meat factory and eventually begins to realize how cruel it is for the animals.

There's also a shit ton of gender subtext to unpack as well: when she is the alien, she has power over men and is not vulnerable, but when she tries to become a human woman, she immediately has that power taken from her by human society (which she doesn't understand), and she has a breakdown when she realizes that sex isn't something mysterious, but a mechanical physical act entirely based on her body.

Post by: Cvalda on May 06, 2014, 11:45:12 PM
The book is VERY different, but it is a very interesting companion to the film. And it does provide context for some things that are expressed in purely visual terms.
Spoiler
For example, the book explains why she goes into the woods at the end of the film. After she realizes she can't be a part of humanity, she tries to find some place to belong on Earth and goes to Nature, because her home planet has none (it's a burned out post-industrial wasteland). She loves the beauty and the life in it. When she goes to sleep in the hut and we see her in the trees (my sig), it's a visual representation of her trying to belong with them. And then we know what happens after that :'(

The ending shot, of her ashes rising up and falling down into the trees (and us, the viewer) is basically her, in death, getting some part of her dream fulfilled -- she becomes part of the forest, part of nature. Her ashes falling on the camera lens (and by extention, us), implicates us with both her and her murder. We're her, she's us. And everyone is alone and just trying to find somewhere to fit and be happy.

At that point, I don't see how a person could have been a fan of the first two acts. The whole thing was building towards that type of a situation, and I don't see how anything else would have felt like a natural progression of where the film was going thematically.

Here's a really good review from Slant btw, says great things about the third act as well. Actually articulates what you were also saying, I think :P:
http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/under-the-skin (http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/under-the-skin)

Spoiler
QuoteGlazer has stripped Faber's story of its metaphorical and satirical ambitions, transforming what was once a "half Baywatch babe, half little old woman" into just another girl next door pretending to understand sex more than she really does. Laura, while no different than Isserley in that she's aware of her appeal to men, views sexual fulfillment as an abstraction, and when she allows herself to be penetrated by a comforting stranger, her reaction sends her spiraling into an oblivion not unlike that into which she drops her victims. She's still not of this Earth, but now her alienness is a marker of her naïveté, of a very recognizable sense of estrangement. And in a haunting sojourn through a woodsy gulf between fantasy and reality that's as bracing as the story's ellipses, the existentially uprooted Laura seems to understand herself in the way she does her victims, as commodity, and recoils from the horror of her sentience manifesting itself from sexual initiation and, subsequently, degradation. And that, the film articulates through its abstract movie-ness, is no way for a girl to come to understand her body, regardless of what's under her skin.

Captain America (1990)

So this is what a major super hero movie looks like on a shoe string budget. This was...hilarious in some spots and utterly terrible in others – and fun few and far between. The origin is probably the most half baked aspect about it. During the actual Project Rebirth sequence – you know, the one that's supposed to turn Rogers from a weakling to a genetically altered super stud, Rogers literally doesn't change at all. Really! There's a few sparks and some screaming but the budgets so cheap he looks the same physically coming out of it, than he did going in.

God Bless them, the outfit is true to the comics. It's the classic uniform but it just looks goddamn silly on Matt Salinger. It's made of this super tight latex and Salinger is wearing fake ears...err what? The Red Skull is pretty cool. The make-up for the time isn't half bad. That is until after the opening they turn him into an Italian gangster with what looks like Italian fashion models as his goon squad.

Heads up /10

Bridesmaids

I didn't get the hype, and after seeing it for the first time I still don't.  For me it was like watching the female version of grown ups.  That's probably an unfair assessment but I just found it unnecessarily puerile at times, and it wasted a lot of talented female actors.

Bridesmaids is far better written and directed than Grown Ups which is just run of the mill Sandler crap. And Wiig gives a wonderful performance.

It does feel like a lot of talent went to waste in certain scenes that I could have done without but it was a solid film with a poor ending.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Oh. My. Golly.

Unless Man of Steel pulls something specf**kintacular out of the bag... this is my favourite. Trust the Cannon Group to make the definitive low budget Cold War paranoia piece where a planet's collective fears are realised in a nuclear-born star child with a flowing Euro Mullet.

And amidst the schlock, Christopher Reeve continues to remind us why he got this job in the first place. He'll be missed.


Superman Returns

This movie's got a lot of heart, and Bryan Singer successfully evokes the spirit of Donner's originals (not least thanks to Brandon Routh's understated performance). But ultimately it's two and a half hours of not much happening, and is doomed to go down in history as 'the one where Kevin Spacey loses his shit'.

We grabbed the original 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' from the $5 Wally World bin! Daughter loved it. Didn't like Antie's part (dat pain) and was kind of creeped out by the whole premise, but she was enamored from start to finish lol. What a classic; felt so good to revisit it for my wife and I.

Not only are the visual effects just wonderful, but you can imagine the artistry and work that went into them and the fun those young actors must have had shooting the film.

If they came out with some god-awful remake today (which I'm surprised they haven't already,) it would be a CGI lamefest of horrid looking cartoon green-screen bullshit. It would further poison my already hateful and demonic void of a soul.

Man of Steel

This is the gritty reboot to end all gritty reboots. Any sense of lightheartedness or hope is just gone... and replaced with a seemingly endless onslaught of anger, brooding, murder, destruction, stubble, vengeance, shouting, screaming, punching, kicking, shooting, stabbing, burning, crushing, CGI, muted colours, shakeycam and Hans Zimmer.

And I shamelessly enjoyed it all.

A French drama about a young boy, Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein), who spends his day stealing at a ski resort and providing for himself and his sister (Léa Seydoux). An excellent movie, in my opinion. Great acting from both Klein and Seydoux, and the relationship between the two of them was not what you would expect. Gillian Anderson have a small role as a tourist staying at the ski resort, giving Simon a small taste of what belonging to a real family could be like.

Exactly what you'd expect from a meandering Jim Jarmusch movie about bohemian indie hipster vampires who collect vinyl records and wax poetic about the White Stripes ("I love Jack White!" exclaims Swinton), complete with obvious, cloying running jokes about our vampire protagonists (even more cloyingly named Adam and Eve -- Jarmusch at least had sense enough not to name Mia Wasikowska "Lilith") giving us Schubert and Shakespeare, some fleeting references to climate change for topicality, and nighttime drives through a netherworld Detroit, without a hint of authentic horror or gothic mood to be found. Neil Jordan this ain't. It's mostly dull, but the Power of Tilda ends up compelling you, as it usually does, and the final shot is a memorable one.

Gamera vs Gyaos (1967)

Gamera's longstanding nemesis Gyaos is introduced, and we are again led through the story by a disturbed fat kid. This original incarnation of Gyaos is quite different from the lean, mean version reimagined for Shusuke Kaneko's Gamera trilogy, and what we have here is a Rodan who got dropped on its soft spot as a baby, shoots laser beams, and also spews forth mustard gas from its nipples -- because this is a Showa Gamera movie and it must. Also because this is a Showa Gamera movie, the military comes up with the ingenious plan of erecting a giant bird feeder full of fake blood to lure in Gyaos, and then start spinning it while it feeds to make it dizzy. This plan does not work out, sadly, leading to plan B, which involves our chubby pint sized psychopath to recommend burning an entire mountain down to get Gyaos out of hiding. Because this is a Showa Gamera movie, the military is dazzled by this plan and does indeed set off a massive forest fire. And then Gamera appears and brutally murders the shit out of Gyaos. The end.

Boorman basically got him to star in this for next to nothing, story has it Connery drove himself to the set everyday for shooting and kept the money that would have been paid to him to get driven.

They originally had Burt Reynolds penciled in as the lead.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)

A surprisingly decent action-thriller. Chris Pine did very well in the lead role. The fight in the hotel room was pretty brutal and reminded me in many ways of Bond's first kill in Casino Royale. I'm glad they didn't turn Jack Ryan into Jason Bourne, which it kind of looked like watching the trailers.

On the telly right now and I sorta have to check it out, although it's not exactly a good film. Haven't seen it for at least a decade, although I'm a true Bond noob.

It goes without saying that the Thunderball film version of the same Ian Fleming story, is far superior. But there's a certain charm to watching a unofficial Bond film. I feel a bit dirty from watching it lol... :D

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)

Has a fantastic, gripping prologue involving Godzilla landing ashore and attacking at night during a torrential rainstorm, and then plummets into typically asinine Godzilla movie depths of boredom and idiocy. Our lead heroine is subjected to some cringe-worthy sexual harrassment the film thinks is cute, and is given sage advice from a disturbed cute kid who could surely star in a Showa Gamera movie if she gained 20 pounds. The film's only real redeeming feature is its thrilling, brilliant score by Michiru Oshima.

Son of Batman (2014)

It's a pretty weak-ass adaptation of Grant Morrison's Son of Batman arc. I was surprised at the amount of bloodshed this one had. As in...'I am stabbing you with a sword and a f**king fountain is erupting from your chest' type of blood. The only redeeming quality was Gus from Breaking Bad was voicing Ra's Al Ghul. No shit.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

I think I fell in love with this when Jason Mewes pulled out of Katie Morgan and she crapped on Jeff Anderson's face.

The Ninth Configuration

why dont you stick a pineapple up your ass and pretend you're hawaian?/10.

Love this film to bits. Insanely funny and genuinely moving at times too. It's nowhere near perfect though.. some scenes just feel sappy and dont work and the FREEZE FRAME! ending is just silly.

BUT... for 90% of it's running time, it was a homerun for me.

It's a film that genuinely feels "personal" and not in a HOLYCRAPTHISISREALLYARTSYFARTSY pretentious way.. because it's just so entertaining and really funny! And it's gestures at trying to probe some deep thoughts dont feel like "holyshitwearesoprofound!" but instead just feel confessional, as if the director is tearing his soul out and displaying it for all of us.

The theme, being about religion and god, reaches a conclusion that i as an atheist just consider wrong as f**k. lol. BUT. The conclusion seems right for the story itself (and consistent with the fictional universe of the Exorcist, that this takes place in.)

Goodbye Killer Kane. Nice knowing you.  :'(

Rocky Remastered (1976)

MGM has another winner on their hands. I love that they're remastering some of their less than stellar looking movies in their collection. Both The Terminator and Robocop looked fantastic and Rocky can finally sit beside them. It's a great movie, an inspiring movie. Bill Conti's score is beautiful as well.

Nah, I saw it in the cinema back in 2013. I liked it better this time.

It's funny. When I read the book (well, one of the books), I pictured Reacher looking more like an older version of Jai Courtney's character in this movie. :D

It also helped that Rosamund Pike was in this. So far I've liked her in everything I've seen. Can't wait to see her take the lead in Gone Girl (which I think would be your kind of movie, First Blood).

Yes! I am very keen to see them follow up on it, seeing he's alive in DOFP. I was still a little surprised by the scene.

Personally I think a better ending would've been it ending just when he's getting out all of the money on the desk. Like there would the huge pile money between them, and Breacher just saying "tell me", then it cuts to black and the credit role.

I just think that would've been much more interesting. Not knowing whether or not it was worth him selling out his friends and family.

QuoteSo, fantastic movie. Move over pacific rim.  The acting was fantastic from everyone and Cranston is as stellar as always. The visual effects are amazing, especially on Godzilla. On him, he is used sparingly and when he shows up shit goes down! Some really effective, chilling moments the direction and photography is effective.

That third act! Best part of the movie! Final fight, my god, a truly fantastic cinematic experience. I loved Godzilla through and through! Anything less than 83% is criminal.

Spoiler time!

Spoiler
Godzilla blasting his blue flame breath down the mutos throat was easily one of my favorite moments. Alongside the parachute scene, god I had chills.

Spoiler
Godzilla (2014)

*This review contains spoilers. Not that those matter, because this is a movie about giant monsters fighting, and who gives a f**k about anything else*

This is a worthy entry in the long pantheon of Godzilla movies, as despite its immense budget and lengthy production, it fits quite comfortably with the vast majority of its predecessors in the series.

By which one means to say that it is a film of deadly dullness, suffocating under the weight of a terrible screenplay filled with dialogue of the utmost lowest common denominator simplicity (all the better to translate smoothy to lucrative foreign markets), dribbling out of the mouths of disinterested actors who mostly stand around in control rooms, looking at screens and making vague, declamatory pronouncements.

The principle difference between this new entry and its fore-bearers, however, is that this new Godzilla lacks any sense of fun. The principal charm of Godzilla movies (after you suffer through the initial half hour of rote, irrelevant character drama -- and then suffer through the additional half hour of it interspersed with the precious oasis of monster action in the last two acts) is watching the anthropomorphic man-in-suit monsters enact their wrestling grudge matches amidst the ruins of elaborately constructed miniature sets. The irony of these films is that the real human drama shining through comes not from the wooden human actors, but from the spontaneity and larger than life performances put across by the suit actors, somehow managing to make the leap through layers of latex to celluloid. Replace that with meticulously pre-planned, minutely designed computer recreations and you completely lose that sole spark of human interest.

It didn't necessarily have to be like that. Gareth Edwards has assembled a bountiful clusterf**k of talent in front of the camera, but then forces them to slum it in service of a plot so spiteful of personality that it murders off the only two identifiable sources of authentic human emotion within the first act: Juliette Binoche (within the first five minutes) and Bryan Cranston (within the first half hour), leaving us stranded for the next hour and a half with what may be the blandest, most charisma-free leading performance in the history of blockbuster cinema: Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Ford, a vacuum of unnervingly blank facial expressions attached to the immaculately beefed up body of a GI Joe-meets-GQ model. Ford is the ultimate prototypical movie cypher -- he has no thoughts or feelings, and conveniently happens to be at the scene of every monster attack in the film through the magic of screenplay contrivance. What's more, his plot armor is so thick that it seemingly warps screen reality around him to kill off every other character but himself in every set piece that he stumbles into. Woe to be a fellow soldier in proximity of Ford, for the body count he leaves in his wake dwarfs even that of Angela Lansbury in Murder She Wrote. Woe also to be a relation of his, for the ultimate motivation of the monsters in this film seems to be to f**k up his family (I imagine the sequel being a kind of Jaws IV: The Revenge -- his last name is even Brody!), going so far as to conveniently converge on his home town of San Francisco and even coincidentally menace his adorable young son, who somehow manages to end up on the exact bridge that Godzilla destroys the instant he arrives in town.

Edwards seems to be trying to channel Spielberg of Jurassic Park vintage (Count the obvious references! The opening shot resembles the helicopter flight to Isla Nublar! The male MUTO uses two of its claws to test a wire enclosure before ripping it down! A bus driver wipes off his window just like Ian Malcolm as heavy rain pelts his vehicle to get a better look at the dino carnage!), even stuffing the first act with quickly forgotten Daddy Issues nonsense that is then immediately forgotten once Cranston bites it. In the end, Edwards only manages to end up approximating the Spielberg of that stupid, wrong-headed War of the Worlds remake, complete with shameless appropriation of modern real world disaster imagery (the recent tsunamis! Fukushima! 9/11! THIS IS RELEVANT, DAMMIT!), cheap scenes of Cute Kids in Peril (two at once in the initial tsunami/airport attack scene!), and a predictable family reunion. The emulation of other (better) movies doesn't stop there, of course: the soldiers advancing on the MUTO in a jungle is lifted virtually wholesale from Shusuke Kaneko's dazzling Gamera 3 (still the apex of the entire giant-monsters genre, getting right everything this film and the rest of its ilk get wrong), and the film's otherwise impressive HALO jumping scene is set to the absurdly pretentious-in-context musical choice of Ligeti's Requiem, one of the most iconic pieces of music from the most iconic scene of the most iconic genre film of all time, 2001: A Space Odyssey (why not throw in Also Sprach Zarathustra while you're at it?). Even more ludicrous is the beginning of the scene, in which a soldier calls upon the Baby Jesus to bless them all before they jump down to run amidst the ankles of a giant lizard and a pair of battling bugs. America f**k yeah, indeed.

So after years in development and hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Hollywood has done again what it did the first time it remade Godzilla: waste immense resources of talent and finance on a concept the Japanese have done for decades at the exact same level of dubious quality, at a severe fraction of both the time and cost. At least the Alexandre Desplat score is good (though he's certainly no Ifukube).

Good review Cvalda. I agree for the most part. You use a lot of words though.  :P

I'd go with a solid 6/10

Godzilla

Liked it, didn't love it. I'm too tired to write a legitimate full-blown review, so I guess I'll just say the following: Godzilla himself was cool, especially at the end. He did feel like an awkward third wheel at a lot of points though. It feels weird saying it, but I actually found the M.U.T.O.S.s to be more interesting and fleshed out than the big guy himself. I wish that there was more of Godzilla just being Godzilla, smashing buildings and such, but I will say that his atomic breath was really great. That got a big smile out of me.

The characters were serviceable, I guess, but hardly anything special. Cranston's character, over the top as he was, was definitely my favorite of the bunch (and one of the most fun things in the movie, to boot). Olsen (good looks aside) didn't really do anything for me, and Taylor-Johnson did fine despite some awkward lines, I just wish that he didn't undergo all of his development in the first act or so.

A lot of the time the movie seems dark for the sake of being dark. I understand that it was trying to go for what the original did, but I guess that the "dark and gritty"  summer blockbuster mentality brought on by this post-The Dark Knight world just isn't working for me unless the film really justifies it. I think Godzilla worked better when it was emulating Spielberg.

I sound really negative with everything I wrote above, and I really don't mean to. Like I said, I enjoyed the movie a lot, I just felt that it could have been more. I could really see Edwards' passion for the project shining through, and all the potential for something great was there but it was kind of buried and awkwardly presented. The movie was fun, and I'm sure I will watch it again. I'll probably even buy the Blu-ray. The film was gorgeous, for the most part, and had some truly great moments. It just didn't come together as well as it probably could have. I guess, at this point, I'm mostly just wondering what kids are going to think about it, and whether it will capture them the way the last sixty years of Godzilla films captured the generations before them.

Post by: KiramidHead on May 16, 2014, 06:16:36 AM
Eh, if kids can sit through a movie where most of it was people debating the ownership of an egg, then this new movie can't be all that taxing for them. From what I've heard, that is.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on May 16, 2014, 06:21:01 AM
Not taking about it being taxing, just more of a general question about Godzilla (both the film and the monster) and his place in today's blockbuster cinema. I wonder if kids are going to walk out of this enthralled, or if it's just going to be pushed aside by the next big summer movie (X-Men, in this case).

Godzilla (2014)

It's been a bit over 2 hours since this ended. Managed to eat something afterwards and now I'm calm.

Not f**king really, because holy f**king shit that was so goddamn awesome. Some underdeveloped characters aside but I didn't care cause there was so much good happening by the end I couldn't give two flying actual Godzilla sized f**ks about what happened prior. I just had the biggest grin on my face through out and my whole theater started clapping whenever Godzilla did anything awesome which he does through out the entire last act of the movie. Just like with Pacific Rim last year I saw kids in the movie watching it and just in awe at the sheer magnitude and strength of Godzilla and the MUTO's. Speaking of the MUTO's f**k da haterz ( :P) they were f**king awesome. Especially the gigantic Female Muto that just walked through whole cities while being blasted. Couldn't help but think of Evangelion and that added more joy to any moment the MUTO's were on screen. ;D ;D ;D 8)

As for the lack of Godzilla I wasn't bothered at all, as a matter of fact I loved it. I loved the teasing, and how we were kept out of it until the final act which was just nonstop action, probably the best final battle in any Godzilla movie. Only one that can top it is Destroy All Monsters final battle. Love, love, love, I don't even care anymore I loved this movie. ;D

Godzilla (2014)

Highly enjoyed it. The greatest thing that the film accomplishes is its monster imagery and atmosphere, which proves to be equally haunting and rousing. My favorite moments were the ones in which the musical score would drop along with excess ambient noise, and there would be a moment to just take in the fact that what we're watching, from a human perspective, is giant monsters crashing through cities, and at times, colliding violently with each other, which manages to make the destruction they cause in their wake no more excessive than it needs to be.

Each creature's destructive trail is largely based on cause and effect; the flying MUTO lands on top of a building, and it has no time to perch, the top crumbles straight downward and it has to relocate. Godzilla comes to shore and water still flows across the ground inland five minutes later as a secondary detail, and so-on. The destructive, and powerful physics applied to the grounds of destruction as well as the ways in which the creatures interact with them are some of the most attentively crafted CGI set pieces I've seen in any film, going beyond explosions for a purely concussive, mind-numbing effect.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fz3yzakP.png&hash=00e1672c7ab76388737b175f9b1d47133398c5d4)

My favorite moment in the entire film is Godzilla emerging from the smoke, at a ground-level view from San Fransisco's Chinatown district. The ambient noise doesn't turn into thin air, it's still present, yet it's not at all a bombastic moment. The score twinkles eerily with mere sparing piano notes as Ford looks up at Godzilla, who is looking across at his MUTO enemies. It's a moment that's both oddly dread-inducing and curious. The sheer scope of it is incredible on its own, looking up at a moving mountain of destruction that is truly far away until it bends down and lets out the most deafening and long Godzilla scream I've ever heard to the great effect of a war cry of sorts.

Unfortunately, the moment is hampered by the fact that the King of Monsters is most definitely not here to destroy, only his enemies are. That's right, this is not the destroyer of worlds, but the protector of them, and that is perhaps the film's biggest disappointment. Really, the focus is on the MUTOs and the destruction they're causing, and Godzilla ends up becoming something of a secondary weapon that the military is merely cautious about, even though they aim to destroy him as well. Any destruction Godzilla causes is merely due to his enormity; the tsunami from his massive amphibious approach on Hawaii, tearing apart the Golden Gate Bridge due to a high-impact missile barrage literally smacking him into it (seriously guys, I'm sure he would have ducked under it if you'd have been so kind as to allow him to).

I wouldn't have any problem with the incidental destruction he causes if it wasn't all of it-- the trailers make him seem like he's been shown before, walking straight through whatever is in his path to get to his objective, whatever it may be, but here he moves as nimbly as he can, avoiding as many human casualties he can, and ignoring the military presence that surrounds and fires upon him every chance they get. He starts to feel like the only professional in an office full of asshole co-workers; if he could speak, he'd be laughing nervously, followed by a "okay, but seriously guys, let's just get the job done, alright?"

Godzilla in this film isn't a symbol of dread and impending destruction for humanity, but a savior, and one that needs to be preserved if the world is to be saved against such threatening life forms ever again. Of course, this would be all terribly much more disappointing if the MUTOs weren't interesting, cool, relentless, and competent follies for the world's current ruling species, as well as its ancient defender. For as little Godzilla as we actually had, the MUTOs were monster screen time well spent (the scene on the train bridge in particular being remarkably tense and well shot), threatening to the extent that made Godzilla seem even less relevant and imposing to the rest of the film. By the end, I was half expecting the Japanese boy from earlier to wave and shout 'goodbye' as Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin plays while Godzilla descends back into the depths of the ocean and Ken Watanabe tells the boy that Godzilla is inside each one of us.

The characters were serviceable for the type of film it was, but none of them all too compelling, despite the hyper-competent cast. The script was played very straight, and the main human focus ends up being Ford, who is the epitome of 'straight man', which manages to not actually be much of a detractor in a film like this. Everybody did their job, and not much more, but due to the screenplay, there wasn't much more that could really be done with it; again, it works for what it is, but more developed and nuanced characters can never hurt.

I'm usually quite good at interpreting thematic relevance, but what I got from this, to do with family, Ford, parenthood, and... Godzilla(?), really just came out much more muddled between long up-close gazes between man and monster than whatever was intended from script to screen. That much was messy, but didn't end up mattering all that much in the end, unfortunate, as it could have added a layer of depth to the film beyond the extraordinarily well-executed visual spectacle... when not cut off by an abrupt shift to unfocused media footage.

Never has there been such a baffling display of monster blue-balls since Otachi's acid-sack in Pacific Rim. The first time a fight is cut off, the first fight that there would be, getting the audience all pumped up in a beautifully executed full-body reveal of Godzilla, the scene cuts away to Ford's son watching the news footage from Hawaii back in San Fransisco to an effect that is almost comedic in essence (it got some laughs from the audience at my showing, which I assume was due to the abrupt disappointment). Ford's son's reaction to the 'dinosaurs' fighting only played into that moment, as he calls over to his shocked and frustrated mother in what feels like a confusing, poorly-timed Jurassic Park III reference (the Jurassic Park visual references in this film are plentiful). The second time this happens, in a changed version of one of my favorite shot from the trailers, I just wanted to cry, my tears having taken the form of the anticipatory precum of my eyes. "Not tonight, I have a headache," Edwards groans groggily as we slowly climb out of bed toward the washroom to furiously finish ourselves off.

On a higher note, my belief that Gareth Edwards would be the man to direct this film held strong and true. Slick camera work, incredibly well-framed and creative monster imagery, a well-assembled design crew, from sets to creatures, to sound, everything is held together with a grand, refined vision of large scale destruction that serves as more than mindless fluff, like what can be seen in any given Michael Bay Transformers movie. It may not be 'the thinking man's' monster movie, but I don't think anybody expected it to be; what it is, however, is a well-performed, directed, and filmed monster movie treat.

It may not be the Godzilla film we wanted, but it was the doomsday creature feature we never expected. Juggling nuclear warheads, attempting to keep track of towering electronically disruptive beasts, and allowing a moment to breathe and stare in awe at the destruction that has been caused in the wake of these titans is near-precisely what I wanted from this film, and it works to a great effect that I'd watch again and again with the volume turned on high. What it lacks in Godzilla and the menace the character generally brings with him, it makes it for in the menace of monsters, while making them more than random destructive machines and worthy additions in the canon of the series. Much obliged, Mister Edwards.

Can happily say that it is NOT remotely like the Appalling 18, and not the horror film that the trailer (thankfully) falsely promoted. It's engaging, cold, beautiful, and haunting. I thought the found-footage style may have been the wrong way to go at first, but soon into the movie it proves itself as precisely the best way to go; it can be attributed to the attentive director and strong performances (particular standouts being Michael Nyqvist and Sharlto Copley) that it works perfectly, and truly gives the film its tense atmosphere.

Anybody whose interest remains piqued, or just wants to see a grounded, realistic take on deep space exploration and the trials and tribulations it can cause, I recommend checking this out-- though opinions on the execution of the ending may be split.

Really glad you liked it, Marines. Had a feeling you would.

X-Men : First Class
A superior film. With the sheer numbers of them I've been getting pretty weary of endless Marvel films, but this was certainly a cut above and probably the best of all the X-Men films and Marvel films. Fassbender is incredible in his role as Erik Lensherr, McAvoy highly endearing as the Oxford graduated Charles Xavier and it's probably the first film where I've cared at all for Jennifer Lawrence character too; she really owns the young, proud but playful Mystique role. Quite a long film but very well paced, the over two hours it takes up fly by.

- The first half hour with Fassbender's superb performance were probably the best. Why has Wolverine got 2 films, the most recent of which was fairly forgettable, when Erik's life prior to meeting Charles could have been a fantastic film of it's own? I was convinced the rest of the story was a waste and it should have solely been about Lensherr until his and Charles' hilarious recruitment scene of the other mutants and after which they really get to bounce their roles off one another.
- The excellence of this film has me concerned for it's sequel. In this one it's as serious as X-Men, with it's much more ridiculous powers, can get. The mutant nicknames are made by the goofy teenage mutants and ignored by Charles and Erik. The outfits don't come in until the very end of the film. The powers - mainly Erik's metal control - are used at their darkest in this film. And it all works so well. The sequel, with grumpy ole' wisecracking Wolverine back and more resemblance to the lighter, earlier films, I'm not sure will be anywhere near as good.
- I didn't care for some of the other mutants. The teleporting devil, screaming guy and the fire breathing slutterfly were all pretty forgettable characters.
But still. Overall I was really impressed.

The X2 flashback with Wolverine covered in blood screaming and running out naked into the snow is far more horrific than anything in X-Men: First Class IMO.

I feel like X2 is darker overall because it maintains that tone, whilist in First Class Erik's story is dark, the formation of the X-Men is light enough to balance it out.

He may be covered in blood but nothing exceptionally violent actually happened that was seen, I'd say. (Not that violence must be outright visible for it to be dark in tone, as ever Disney film ever has shown)

You have something of a point, the later scenes bar a few are much lighter. But I'm not sure that lightens the tone overall. Once you're traumatized there's no going back!

Dead Man Down (2013)

A.K.A. The Punisher Goes Hungarian

Noomi Rapace and Collin Farrell, neighbours, both with a dark past and out for revenge. A kind of bittersweet love story, but I really liked it. The last fifteen minutes kicked it up a notch when it came to the action. The rest of the movie moved at a considerably slower pace, which worked fine. Nice cinematography and fine performances from the two leads.

8/10

Godzilla (2014)

I liked this. No, scratch that. I loved this. There are so many elements to this movie for why it worked. Now I am not steeped in Godzilla lore, nor do I know much about the character. I approached this as a casual moviegoer and was highly entertained let alone satisfied. The opening credits caught me off guard and they're very reminiscent of 1998's Godzilla film. Even the score is similar.

Thankfully that's all those two movies share in common, because this was a much better film. The main focus of the film is on the characters and the MUTOS. Some found issue with this, but I didn't mind that in the slightest. Godzilla's build up is very similar to the reveal of the shark in Jaws. Edwards smartly in my opinion only gives us small tidbits of the creature until it's time to unleash all hell.

My favorite sequence would in fact probably be Godzilla's first reveal during the Hawaii sequence. The build up is palpable. Much like the bystanders in the scene I was nervous and my palms were sweaty. The shot of Godzilla swimming under the ships to reach the island is incredible. Really it's one of the best sequences in the film.

I never felt bored during the film either. There's always something going on. The scenes with the humans are just as engaging and important as the scenes with the MUTOS and Big G having a smackdown in the middle of San Francisco.

Moving film of a man that is haunted by his experience in a Japanese prison camp and eventually finds his tormenter alive and well.
Colin Firth delivers a great performance as does Kidman.

Sanada as the Japanese tormenter/intepreter is also amazing.

Godzilla

There's not really much to add to what's already been said so much better by others so I'm not going to bother typing out a lengthy review for something I feel zero excitement for.

The CGI was solid as was the score and sound effects. But everything else felt dull and cheesy. And the editing (in parts) was as awkward as I was lead to believe. The scenes featuring the human characters were absolutely mind-numbing to watch. Although, to be fair, Bryan Cranston's character was the most interesting character. As for Juliette's character (who I was really disappointed wasn't used in the film more), she was treated like a cardboard cutout much like the other two "big" female characters: supporting/concerned wife and a scientist's assistant. The female characters may as well have been no-name recruits with no talent since the roles didn't ask for much at all. These actresses were clearly just in it for the paycheck and so that the film could get advertised with some talented actresses attached. Although I'm sure the real pull was the Godzilla brand. So, Joe and the female characters aside... the rest of the time is spent enduring awful acting from Aaron Taylor-Johnson and watching creatures whose design I don't care for.

Oh, this movie also features an appearance by Godzilla. He does some stuff. He even does this special breath thing which makes some people forgive the movie for all its flaws. It's truly something to behold.

I haven't seen many of the Godzilla films but I think it's safe to say this franchise just isn't for me. It's too bad, really. I was really excited for this before the initial reviews started pouring out. Most of the visuals look good and it has the foundation and potential to be so much more.

All three of the films are written by Shusuke Kaneko, who is Mamoru Oshii's longtime collaborator (Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Avalon). He brings with him his smart, complex scifi plotting and love of strong female heroes (the third film takes this to surprising extremes, basically relegating all male characters to the sidelines and having the plot be entirely driven and centered around the female characters -- and one obviously gay male character :laugh:). For a hollywood genre film to do that is basically unthinkable.

Very flashy, but I thought it worked with the film's (really, the whole prequel trilogy's) more extravagant style. The best choreographed duel is most definitely Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Maul, however. And the one that is the most intense and emotionally gripping is Luke vs Vader in RotJ. The moment when Vader realizes that he has a daughter and then Luke unleashes hell on him sends chills down my spine every time.

Godzilla (2014)

This was an alright movie. Entertaining enough. Really enjoyed the start of it; the sense of mystery that they built up was very well done. As it went along, though, I felt it really lost steam. I think the movie would've been better if Ken Watanabe's character had been the lead; he was the most interesting character by a fair amount. I also wish the movie hadn't focused so much on the military. I dunno, I just found that not very interesting stuff. Aaron Taylor-Johnson felt very miscast to me, and I had no interest at all in him or his family. I also feel the film may have been better if it only had the Big G; the MUTOs took too much of the attention, and turning Godzilla into a pseudohero was very... odd feeling. When everyone in the stadium was cheering for him, I both laughed and groaned at how stupid that was.

Overall, though, a decent film. Entertaining though forgettable.

Godzilla


Quote from: SpaceMarines on May 21, 2014, 02:51:02 AM
I was also disappointed when
Spoiler
Bryan Cranston's character died, mainly because his performance had more-or-less been carrying the film up to that point. Both he and Watanabe would've been much better main characters.
[close]
[spoiler related to Aaron Taylor-Johnson becoming the main character]

Agreed. I'm not sure why studios feel the need to cast their films according to a demographic. Most of us first watched Star Wars when we were between 5 and 12, but the main cast stretches between 19 and 29. I don't think any of us were crying out for the inclusion of a pre-teen main character (and Phantom Menace being the least popular of the series supports this).
Jurassic Park and Aliens were more my formative childhood movies, and while both do have kids, they weren't necessary as a point of entry into the films. JP's cast primarily consists of ages 40+, and 30+ for Aliens.

Anyway, yes, on topic, I'd rather they had Heisenberg as the central character throughout. And while I'm not a particular Ken Watanabe fan, it did feel very strange that a film rooted for around half the runtime in the western Pacific, and obviously belonging to a Japanese franchise, had very few Japanese actors in speaking roles.

I also took issue with the sound mixing and direction. The action scenes felt like one long headache. They desperately needed to be distilled down to a sparser soundscape with an emphasis on just a couple of easily recognisable sounds at a time, and with the occasional bit of breathing room, and waaay less focus on constant low-frequency rumbling. And the way the scenes were shot resulted in a dearth of iconic images (say what you'd like about Godzilla '98, but it has far more cool and memorable shots).

I've been scratching my head at reviews complaining about the lack of depth in human characters, because surely it shouldn't matter in a movie that's ultimately Raaargh Giant Monsters Fight. But I do see what they're getting at: it's not just the lack of depth, it's that the human storyline seems emotionally separate to the main attraction
Spoiler
after Heisenberg unceremoniously shuffles off the mortal coil, at least
[close]
, and utterly pointless. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olson might as well not exist.

Anyway. Giant monsters do eventually fight and smash cities. So that's pretty cool, I guess. And the sheer scale of them is mind-boggling in itself.
But while I have some major issues with Godzilla '98, mainly philosophical ones, I thought it contained better work (for what it was) than the new one.


(Haven't seen Pacific Rim yet, so can't compare.)

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Haters of The Last Stand and Origins will love. Bryan's back and you can really tell the difference, its hand down, my new favorite X-Men movie.

1. The cast is stunning, everyone has their role and they do it so damn well. I mean, the sheer fanwankery of old and new coming together alone! The moment in the trailer with old and young Xavier was quite poignant. Few times my eyes were welling.

The movie really revolves around the development of Charles, and the tug of war over Raven's soul. The two stories lay out beautifully and Jennifer Lawerence really brings sympathy to her character. Peter Dinklage did a great job also.

2. The story has some brilliant writing behind it. Some poignant character moments, cheeky references, fanwankery, cameos! Some critics may call it convoluted but I found it easy to follow and the editing doesn't really make it confusing. The third act though, really hit all the brakes and I was clutching my seat in an intense fear. The ending I loved, and many other fans will, no doubt.

I wish some mutants had a bit more screen time. But really the story at its heart was centered around Charles and it did a wonderful job. DOFP paves the way for future stories, but if the franchise ended here it would also be a fitting conclusion. It sh*ts all over The Last Stand, and I liked TSL. :laugh:

Well, that is my opinion from seeing the movie. Believe me or not judge for yourselves, but it will be worth it.

I wholeheartedly love this movie. It's easily one of Carpenter's most underrated films. There's one little plot point I take issue with, but the film is very strong on the whole and is genuinely shit scary. Also, Victor Wong stabs a dude with a chopstick.

X-Men: First Class

Still my favorite in the series to date. Love the style and period setting, the characters, and the story. Editing feels a bit off at times, and there are unfortunately some loose threads that will likely never be followed up on, but overall it is a really great experience.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Before today I hadn't seen this since it was in the theater in 2009. I wish it had stayed that way. For lack of a better way to describe it, the whole thing just felt like a really bad music video. You can tell that Jackman loves the character and really tried to make what he had work, but the whole thing was just boring and generic as can be. It was an absolute mess from start to finish.

I will say that I liked the older couple that Wolverine runs into after the Weapon X thing. But that's pretty much the only good thing I have to say.

A Million Ways to Die In the West (2014)

This was very disappointing and it's a shame too, because I enjoy Seth McFarlane's work. This is his second feature film after the very funny Ted. This film is a Blazing Saddles type of film that pokes fun at the genre. My main gripe is the jokes. Seth was fun and likable as the lead, but the humor just didn't hit the mark and it was few and far between. It's also a shame that Liam Neeson played it so straight faced. Whilst everyone else is adhering to the lunatic comedy of the feature, he's playing a villain that...for the most part felt like he didn't belong in a comedy.

Two best scenes in the movie?

Falling Down

I can forgive Joel Schumacher all his cinematic disgraces on the sole fact he directed this movie. It's brilliant. Its script should be studied.

Between the script and Michael Douglas' performance, William Foster is one of my favourite characters in a movie ever. We cheer him on when rails against all the grievances, big and small, of the society he lives in that he encounters throughout his day. Cashiers he can barely understand, gangs starting shit for no reason, bums lying to try to garner sympathy, bigots: hell, even shitty fast food. The man just wants to go home. Is that too much to ask?

Except he's a psychopath. He is, in every sense, mad. Yet between scenes of him talking to his wife, first ominous, then outright threatening, we find ourselves liking him. He's pathetic. He's angry. He's laid off. We can sympathise. And we get so caught up in his rampage that his ultimate realisation -- "...I'm the bad guy?" -- is every bit dragging us back down to Earth as him.

Yeah, you're the bad guy.

Even if we did agree with some of the shit you did.

There are a lot of vigilante movies out there about people who decide "f**k this shit!" and fight back against the man, but of all the ones I've seen, only Falling Down really seems to make you bother to realise that the person you've been cheering is a violent psychopath and you should probably feel bad for cheering him on. And leave you with that feeling by the time the credits roll.

X-Men

Every time I watch this I am surprised at just how well it holds up. It definitely has some early 2000s cheese to it, but it is just as relevant now as it was on release. Great themes, good story, and fun action. An excellent way to kickstart the franchise.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

It dragged on for a bit too long, but yeah, it was pretty good. Old cast and new is as good as you would expect them to be. I would never have guessed it going in, but Quicksilver ended up being my favorite character. Watching him do his thing was a hell of a lot of fun and the action surrounding both him and Blink was very well done.

X2: X-Men United

Deserves all the praise it gets. Definitely up there with First Class as my favorite of the bunch so far.

X-Men: The Last Stand

This one is harder to categorize. On one hand, the movie is kind of a mess. On the other hand, it really takes a lot of the themes and material from the first two films and escalates them to some great new heights. I definitely do not hate it, but I can't say I love it either. This should have, and definitely could have, been the best film of the original trilogy, but unfortunately I have to rank it below the other two movies. It bit off way more than it could chew, and as a result the whole Phoenix thing felt completely tacked on. The movie should have been two separate films, one dealing with the cure and another to do the Phoenix story justice. Too bad Bryan Singer didn't stay with the franchise for this outing...

If Days of Future Past does indeed create a splinter timeline and/or rewrite events of the original trilogy, I would not be opposed to them redoing the Phoenix story at some point down the line. The potential for something truly great is certainly there.

X-Men Days of Future Past

Oh dear lord this was very good. After nearly a decade away from these characters, Bryan Singer reunites with the older cast as well as the newer ones. This is a very different type of X-Men movie I found. Believe it or not, it's lower key. There are wonderful action sequences no doubt but nothing quite as 'xplosive as the films before. The finale was great. I wasn't expecting Wolverine to be out of the picture but he was.

Make sure you guys stay for the after credits scene.

The Wolverine Unleashed Extended Edition

Every time I watch this I love it even more (and it is especially better after watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine :-X ). If it weren't for the damn convoluted ending and the giant mech-suit Silver Samurai this may just have topped my list when it comes to the X-Men films. If only they had gone for something a bit more low-key at the end, to keep in line with all of the excellent stuff that came before. Hugh Jackman is the best he's ever been as Logan, and there is some surprisingly great cinematography in this. I wouldn't really expect that in a comic book movie like this. Can't wait to see what Mangold does when the next Wolverine film comes out. He really is the perfect guy to handle Wolverine's solo outings.

And that completes my X-Men marathon. Hoping to see X-Men: Days of Future Past tonight! :)

Godzilla (2014)

I love the Godzilla design, the MUTO's were pretty cool and the size of everything was impressing. It was a nice film to look at and there were some spectacular shots every now and then. The characters were overall pretty bland, sad to say. I'll probably hang for this, but I think I prefer the 98 version of Godzilla. While I prefer the new design, it felt like the monster had more character in that one, while here he kind of felt like a guest star in his own movie.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

I absolutely loved it. There were so many fun moments that left me with a huge smile on my face, and so many great actors on screen just doing their thing and bringing these ridiculous characters to life in the best ways possible.

It's no secret that the X-Men series is overly complicated and convoluted (especially after some of the most recent films), and while Days of Future Past was definitely the biggest and, at times, most ridiculous entry in the series to date, it really did hit home in its portrayal of the main characters and presentation of the major themes and ideologies that have dominated these films since Singer's first outing in 2000. The whole thing was a really great experience from start to finish.

The two best scenes in the movie were actually my favorites for vastly different reasons:

Spoiler
The first was Quicksilver taking down the guards around Magneto's cell. Oh man, I did not expect to enjoy Quicksilver as much as I did! :D

My other favorite scene was the confrontation between the two Xaviers. Man, that was something to behold. Both actors rally brought their A-game to the set that day. That whole sequence is pretty much all of X-Men in a condensed form, and was every bit as powerful for me as it was for the characters (well, character technically :P ) involved.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

This was a very, very good film. As with any time travel story, there was a fair number of questionable moments, and the plot was a tad convoluted. However, that's a small criticism next to the very powerful emotional core of the film, the fantastically written characters that inhabit this series, and the phenomenal performances that bring them to life. The direction was superb, and the film managed a nigh-perfect mix between character moments, narrative momentum, and exciting action. This balancing act is only matched by that between the dramatic and comedic. I can't think of much else to say at this point, other than this was a great movie, and quite possibly the best of the series. Can't wait to see what's in store in Apocalypse.

He was great, as always. Though he could've had more screentime and been more fleshed out. One of my main criticisms with the film. It felt like he was on the verge of being a very interesting villain, but didn't quite get there. Feel like a lot of his stuff may have been cut. Fingers crossed for an extended edition in the future.

Frieza is cool but his brother is Cooler. ;D :D

Probs my fave DBZ movie. Nice action, and Cooler is pretty awesome.

Is it the one where he first comes to Earth or when he's reduced to brain tissue? Always get them confused.

X-Men: Days of Future Past


Better than X2 since I saw this twice in ONE day/10

Freaking sentinels are not a f**king joke, RIP everyone that f**king died in brutal ways, some more than once. f**king Quicksilver made us eat our f**king words lol. Crayness happened. Much f**king suspense in points where you truly felt afraid for these characters. God damn 70s was cool as can be. Wolverine's bare ass. Colossus still had only one line, but that's still better than in The Last Stand (a true shame he has had more lines in that Carl's Jr. commercial than he has in ALL the movies combined - this is not a joke). There was so much going on that I never felt bored. I f**king love those opening credits, and that f**king theme. Haven't heard and seen that shiz in a LONG time. Ending was beautiful.

Post credits got me so hard. I f**king knew who it was the moment the name chant could be heard.

The Normal Heart (2014)

A frightening look at the AIDS epidemic sweeping gay men living in New York City in and around the 80s. This was very good, and tough to watch at times. It's so heartbreaking to see these people suffer like this and no one, not the mayor nor the president do anything about it. Mark Ruffalo gives a amazing performance but its Matt Bomer's performance that hits home as his infected lover. That final scene was...tough to watch. :(

The Wind and The Lion.

A somewhat forgotten adventure film.

A heap of references to Lawrence of arabia,  Especially the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. some great action pieces, and some decent dialogue, Acting is so so, Candice Bergen, a little flat next to Sean Connery playing a Barbary Pirate Mulai Ahmed er Raisuli.

Fun Film.

7/10

I fell asleep during the stream but I'm definitely going to give it a proper watch. What I did see of it was fun, albeit casually racist at times. And the parts of the Jerry Goldsmith score I heard were fantastic.

Yeah dat Milius certainly not politically correct.

All dat Teddy Roosevelt dialogue, loved his dialogue about the respect for your enemy and the path of great men. also the homages to Kurosawa and Peckinpah.

Certainly a movie from its time.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Maybe I'm a bitter sack of shit cause I'm not a huge X-Men fan, maybe I just wasn't as hyped as others, perhaps I was probably expecting something else and only went cause I was invited or I'm just angry as f**k since I accidentally paid for the 3D version (thanks to a friend for only telling me the time of showing and not the format), but man I was just bored through out and didn't really care much for what went on.

Special effects were cool as should be expected. Wolverine, Xavier, and Magneto are still the only characters I really like so thank f**k for most of the movie being focused on them, but shit I haven't been on the brink of falling asleep in a theater since Transformers 3. Gon' definitely be waiting for X-Men: Apocalypse to come to Netflix before I watch it. :P

Power to those who loved it but it sure ain't for me. :P

At least X-3 and Origins are completely gone from the time line so that's great.

Slightly more fun sequel to the first film, but not as memorable or moody. Good performance by Gloria Holden. Still a lot of here to like.. and dislike. Lesbianism is used here as a simple way to "titilate" the plebs. Ugh. Zaleska is much more of an interesting "tragic" character than her villainous father... Liked that! I wonder if she was a big influence on Anne Rice and other copycats. oh and Dammit Janet!

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

I felt the moment that the main theme began playing and it was a Tina Turner song that I was in for an experience very, very different from the preceding two films. When I saw Max looking like he'd wandered off the set of Braveheart (or was about to wander onto it), I knew I was right. This didn't really feel like Mad Max; it felt like a Mad Max knockoff that kinda missed the point of the films. The first two films portrayed worlds that were heading towards the apocalypse and were struggling to survive in the aftermath. While they were undoubtedly overthetop in many respects, they still managed to keep things grounded enough that they felt real. The societies we saw felt like things that could really emerge from the world that was portrayed, the characters felt like people who could really exist and live in that world and those societies. Here, not so much. They pushed things a little too far, and the result is a caricature. That's not to say this movie wasn't entertaining. Oh my, was it entertaining. But it wasn't near the quality of the first film, and certainly nowhere near the second. The first is a good movie, the second is one of the best of all time, and this is just... something. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it's a rather lacklustre entry.

Also, I'm confused as to why they cast Bruce Spence in this to portray a different yet almost identical character as the Gyro Captain from The Road Warrior. Alas, such questions are lost to time...
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Blacklabel on May 27, 2014, 04:58:34 AM
My memory of the first two films is of a mostly "hopeless" fictional world and story.

thunderdome actually brings in some hope for the future in it's setting... and it feels very different because the story is built around that.

I remember liking all three films. Should give them a rewatch soon.

Post by: FiorinaFury161 on May 27, 2014, 05:05:31 AM
Thunderdome was the first MM film I ever seen in the trilogy, it is good, but not close to the first two. Still good tho.

Carnosaur (1993)

I never got to see the full movie until this DVD viewing. The horrible camera angles, Tremors like setting, laughable Carno puppets, mutilated chickens, Bobcat fightin, black egg cracking hilarity and did I mention the hilarious gore from the carno attacks? C2 is next, but will watch it tom night after Fargo on FX.

"Another year has passed, and so, as with the cold inevitability of death, another Adam Sandler movie is upon us."
"the best thing about it is that as bad as BLENDED is, at least it's not GROWN-UPS 3"
"Doesn't feel so much blended than most crudely and sloppily thrown together with minimal exertion and even less thought."
"It's lazy and only occasionally funny, but then critically raging against an Adam Sandler movie is as futile as raging against the tides."
"A movie that looks to have been written in half the time it takes to watch."
"Blended is Sandler status quo - no surprises, no laughs, no life, no hope."
"There's a fairly decent movie trying to breathe here, underneath the infantile humor. Maybe one day, Sandler will liberate that movie."
"If "Funny People" is any indication, Sandler hates himself, and in "Blended" he invites us to join him."
"Adam Sandler goes to Africa, via the tampon aisle, and assumes you'll agree with him that racism and sexism are family values worth celebrating."

Some "fresh" reviews:

"I am NOT a fan of Adam Sandler, or his stupid films, but when he pairs himself with Drew Barrymore, he's not nearly as insufferable."
"There is no need to guess how this will turn out."
"It's not flawless, mind you. However, compared to movies like Jack and Jill and Grown Ups 2, Blended is like Citizen Kane."
"How great could a romantic comedy aimed at children, with masturbation jokes and rhino sex really be?"

I love Funny People, it was like Sandler taking a self-aware moment with the help of Judd Apatow to comment on his own terrible work and admit to all of it with the help of a bunch of other actual comedians, and then quickly going back to the hopeless real-world truth that rancid half-baked 'comedy' sells, and sells well. Result was something that was funny and actually worked on a dramatic level... art imitating life, hilariously enough.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Famke Janssen rips out a dude's brain... which means I highly recommend this.

Result was something that was funny and actually worked on a dramatic level... art imitating life, hilariously enough.

Too bad he slinked back into the territory of toilet humour, racist humour and sexist humour almost immediately after Funny People. The large majority of his films are juvenile, tasteless, unimaginative and unfunny. If he had some self-respect and actually picked more interesting projects, I'm sure people's opinion of him as an actor would change. Surely he doesn't need the money anymore and he can take more film risks.

Carpenter, just because you lampshade the fact that the script is a lazy retread, doesn't change the fact that it's a lazy retread. The ending was pretty good, though.

A Norweigan thriller about an art thief that gets in over his head.

Pretty good, but...

Spoiler
It felt kind of odd not having the art theft play into the fact that he was targeted by the Lannisternator.

Maleficent (2014)

I liked it. A lot. Those of you who worried that it might be a new Snow White and the Huntsman need not worry. While there might be similarities in some of the creature design, Maleficent is a very different movie. There is one battle, in the very beginning of the movie and it is over within minutes. There is no warrior princess in this. The movie instead focuses on the characters of Maleficent and Aurora.

In the beginning of the movie, we get to meet Maleficent as a young girl, or rather, a young fairy. The realm, or the "moors", in which she lives is a magical place. There is some shady CGI shots here, but for the most parts, it's well done and beautifully designed. We get to see her meet and fall in love with a young human boy, Stefan. At the age of sixteen, he leaves her to work at the castle. I would have liked to see more time spent on these two when they were young, as Stefan's decision to leave felt very sudden.

Years later, as Maleficent powers have grown and she acts as the protector of her realm, the human king decided to remove her from power. The humans looses the war, but Stefan betrays Maleficent, stealing her wings and is crowned king as the old one dies. Faced with his betrayal, Maleficent turns bitter and angry. When Stefan's daughter is born, Maleficent shows up and just like in Sleeping Beauty, she places a curse on the young girl. In order to protect his daughter, Stefan hands her over to three fairies, who takes her to a cabin in the woods, where they will raise her until she is sixteen years old and the curse have passed.

It's here we get to the meat of the story - Maleficent's redemption. She is watching the young Aurora from afar and while she's initially repulsed by the girl, she grows fond of her, keeping an watchful eye on her, keeping her from harm. As Aurora grows older, Maleficent brings her to the moors, where the young girl is introduced to a magical world. Having come to love the young girl, Maleficent tries to lift the curse, but is unable to do so.

I won't reveal more of the plot, but the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora is very heartfelt and both Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning performed very well in their roles. I would also like to give some credit to Sam Riley, who plays Maleficent's raven, or Diaval, as he is called. He managed to avoid becoming an annoying sidekick and rather acts as Maleficent's conscience, as well as her muscle. Sharlto Copley, on the other hand, felt rather miscast. That accent of his didn't help much either.

Maleficent is a charming fairy tale and not as grimdark as other modern retellings of old classics.

How is the CGI? I'm sure a lot of work went into the CGI in Maleficent but there's just something off about it to me and I didn't like the visuals in the trailers.

I'm glad to hear it's different to Snow White and the Huntsman which I enjoyed but don't need to see a rehash of. The marketing was very similar though and that had me worried.

It's good, for most part. There are some less convincing shots in the moors and the fairies look a bit weird. On the other hand, the scenes where Maleficent is flying are outstanding.

Finally got around to seeing this, and I quite liked it. Good story, and I loved the way it subverted most of the standard Disney tropes. Even though some plot points were fairly predictable (like
Spoiler
Hans' betrayal

) I loved that it wasn't a by-the-numbers kids film like so many similar movies today are. I had a smile on my face by the end, and I guess that's what really counts. :)

While watching I did find myself thinking that traditional hand drawn animation might have been a better fit than CGI for this particular movie, however. And while they were quite good, none of the songs beyond 'Let it Go' were particularly memorable.

Aye, they were. They were probably the best excuse for CGI with this one, actually. But I think hand drawn could have been used to great effect as well. It could have had the potential to end up being something very unique and revolutionary for hand drawn animation, kind of akin to Oskar Fischinger's work on the fairy's wand in Pinocchio.

Kingdom of Heaven

Theatrical cut. I hadn't sat down and watched it all since I saw it in theaters (still haven't seen the DC) so I thought hey, why not. It's not as insufferably drawn out as I'd remembered it, but a lot of the action still just feels really, really anticlimactic.

For anyone who's seen the DC: Does Eva Green get to do anything other than look sideways to the right of frame for the second half of the film in the extended cut? Cos that's all she does for about half an hour. I actually cheered when she had a line of dialogue towards the end.

The Lego Movie

The first half hour was a little rough to sit through, however it did end up more entertaining than I thought it would.  Being a child of the '80s some of the little cameos were really cute. 

Spoiler
In the '80's, we all had "mystery space ship guy" since the space shuttle was new and exciting in that era.  When "mystery space ship guy" finally got to build and use his space ship, it was my favorite part since that was my childhood  :)

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)

Quote from: SiL on Jun 02, 2014, 07:55:52 AMFor anyone who's seen the DC: Does Eva Green get to do anything other than look sideways to the right of frame for the second half of the film in the extended cut? Cos that's all she does for about half an hour. I actually cheered when she had a line of dialogue towards the end.

I don't remember the differences between theatrical and director's cut, but I know that I found the theatrical to be a bore, while I loved the director's cut, so there's that.

I was going to write that I loved it, but somehow that did not seem appropiate. :D

It was a great film. Phenomenal acting from both Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller (firs thing I've ever seen him in). I don't really know what to say about it. I think it's important they showed Eva's flaws as a mother, as well as the deeply disturbing behaviour Kevin showcased already as a child. Mix it together and you've got a disaster waiting to happen.

3 Days to Kill (2014)

Eh this wasn't as good as I was hoping it to be. It almost feels like Luc Besson was trying to capitalize on the success of Taken; what with an aging spy who's trying to reconnect with his daughter. The premise is very similar here, except no one gets kidnapped. Kevin Costner was alright. It was actually nice to see him to a action film like this; something he hasn't quite done since the 90s. I found Amber Heard's character a little bizarre. She had more costume changes than a Lady Gaga concert. I guess when one works in the clandestine business you can be who ever or what ever you want.

Halfway through Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires and enjoying it a lot! Yep it's one of the films that inspired Alien. One can easily imagine a young Dan O'Bannon seeing this film and being inspired to write his own horror space bmovie.

Very cheap, campy and done with a LOT of style. Bava pulls every single trick in the book to give the illusion of the film being a lot more expensive looking than it is. It looks exactly like an old pulpy science fiction magazine cover come to life. :)

El Topo

That... I'm not sure how to describe. I found it to be an incredibly challenging, moving, and, well, strange film. I do have one major criticism, and that's the way certain parts felt incredibly dragged out and overlong. The biggest offender was the Illuminati town, where scenes just went on. However, I kind of loved most of it, in spite of that issue, the production value and how far outside of my normal comfort zone it went.

Now, I'm more than willing to admit that much of the symbolism may have gone over my head, but I definitely got something out of it. I interpreted El Topo's character like this:

Spoiler
Now, at first the film wasn't clicking with me, but then I started noticing various parallels to the Arthurian legend. I pretty much geeked out over that, as those stories are one of my oldest passions. El Topo himself is very much a knight errant, as he seeks out injustice in the form of the Colonel, and rides around challenging other warriors at the behest of a woman. However, he's a corrupt, fallen knight, who doesn't bat an eye at using deceit to bring down his opponents rather than skill. He sinks as low as he possibly can, and only then, when he is abandoned and betrayed, does he set out in search of redemption. He tries his best to help the people trapped in the cave, but in the end only fails, and kills himself out of shame. He never manages to regain his nobility, if he ever had it at all. He's defeated by the evils of human nature that the town has made manifest, the evils he embraced earlier in the film.
[close]

Now, as for the ending:

Spoiler
El Topo's son riding off in his father's old clothes with the pregnant woman, I took in two ways. One, the events of the film are doomed to repeat themselves in the next generation, and two, that the end somehow links up with the beginning, and it's all one loop destined to repeat itself any number of times. Both of these could be symbolic in nature, as well as literal.

Robocop (2014)

To say this was disappointing is putting it mildly. Much like the recent Total Recall remake, Robocop lacks the grungy gratuitous violence and charm that made Verhoeven's films much more memorable. The film adds nothing to the mythology of the character. It's a safe, cookie cutter remake sprinkled with weak-sauce characters. Michael Keaton was alright. I could watch that guy water a lawn and still be entertained but everyone else was...bleh. And the last act of the film is incredibly anti-climatic.

Godzilla 1998

This is a movie which is generally thought of as the typical lowest-common-denominator, brainless, soulless Hollywood blockbuster of its time. It's curious to watch it with today's equivalents in mind, such as Transformers or (most relevantly) the new Godzilla film, because there's a major difference in ethos. There's a sense of humour, fun and humanity which is wholly lacking in many of today's blockbusters, and particularly Godzilla 2014. You could make a case for today's culture in some way robbing us of the lighter touch, and bludgeoning us with the sense that a film or show needs to be hyper-earnest and gritty to be relevant. G98 is not a film in which main characters die or suffer emotional trauma, it's one in which a wannabe journalist gets hit on by her egomaniac boss, and is led by "the worm guy" with a name nobody can pronounce.
So I really do think that big, dumb films like this can make for a telling barometer of cultural progression, and fundamental filmmaking principals over time.

Anyway. None of this means it's a great film, obviously it isn't. It's hugely derivative of King Kong and the first two Jurassic Parks, some peripheral characters are 100% superfluous to the plot and waste any screentime they occupy, some of the CG rendering looks decidedly ropey.
Godzilla drops out of the plot for an extended sequence involving its offspring, resulting in a seemingly endless chase from obviously-not-really-there and thoroughly unlikeable critters. The film's pacing is generally better than many of today's movies, but that particular section kills the film in my opinion.

There's also a very weird sense of ambivalence, regarding what we're supposed to feel. 'Zilla' (Toho's recent retcon) is a very likeable monster, and is treated sympathetically. We have extended eye contact with it, it seems reasonably friendly and smart, its main motivation seems to be a love of fish, and it's not intrinsically malevolent - its main sin is just being way too big for the environment. When it arrives at the city, its appearances are called "attacks", when it's actually just wandering from A to B (at which point it vanishes underground and doesn't hurt anyone). They even point out in the film, most of the damage to the city is caused by the military, in Team America style.
So then we have the human contingent. Nobody points out the issue of calling Zilla's strolls "attacks", and nobody - not even the reasonably likeable lead cast - suggests an alternative to killing this new and awesome species of creature. The military are gung-ho and kill-kill-kill, but that's not portrayed as the stupid or short-sighted thing to do.
Spoiler
And when Zilla dies, there's a big party and everybody's happy, even though the audience's gut reaction is to feel sad.
[close]
It feels like the writer and director couldn't make up their minds about what they wanted the film to be, and came up with a confused screenplay. This ambivalence reaches a crisis point in the ending scene, creating a reaction that leaves a very bad taste in the audience's mouth (or mine, at least).

Still, it's quite a fun movie. I enjoyed it more than Godzilla 2014, and a little more than Pacific Rim.


Sidenote - G98 has a soundtrack album which I have always found utterly baffling, because it's filled with songs that I can't hear anywhere in the movie. Kept waiting for Jamiroquai's Deeper Underground to pop up somewhere, then finally resigned myself to thinking it'd be in the end credits, but no, that's Puffy's horrendous Come With Me and a boring Bowie cover. Were these songs originally used as temp tracks somewhere? Does anyone know? SO CONFUSED.

I think if it was a standalone monster movie, it served a purpose, but (and I'm not a huge Godzilla fan) even I could see that it just completely pissed all over the fans.  f**k you Emmerich

K-Pax 10/10  Heartfelt, thought provoking movie, everything about it is done right, from the writing to the stellar performances by a brilliant cast.  It's definitely one of my favourite movies
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

It's a pretty goddamn loose interpretation of Godzilla, that's for sure. I get the sense that the fans have some seriously wide and unbending sticks up their collective arse on the subject, though.

Something else I'd like to point out about G98, is on the subject of direction. This is another sign of the times, as it pre-dates the Michael Bayification of the blockbuster genre.
There isn't lightning-fast cutting, it's measured in such a way that you can actually see what's going on. There aren't many ridiculous camera angles (such as getting very close to something very large moving very fast, which always exposes a shot as being primarily CG). The soundscape is kept clean and legible, which makes the action much more involving and less wearing. Sequences are shot in such a way that you get a good sense of the location. And there's such a thing as suspense here, albeit usually fairly brief.

Roland Emmerich's always been particularly good at blockbuster direction, so a lot of this is down to his personal technique. But it does serve to highlight major problems which have become ubiquitous in the last decade's action movies.

Lone Survivor

I loved this. It's based on the true story of the failed mission Operation Red Wings about a four man squad of SEALS that were sent into the mountains of Afghanistan to do recon work on a high level Taliban insurgent. I thought was very good. They could have easily turned this into a jingoistic action movie but they didn't. It's an honest portrayal of what really happened and it was important to get it right. Director Peter Berg worked extensively with Marcus Luttrell, the actual sole survivor of the mission to bring re-create an accurate picture. My favorite character would be Ben Foster's Matthew "Axe" Axelson.

D-War
This film has a good, powerful idea behind it; its massive problems are represented by the script and performances, which really detract from the overall feeling of it. A shame, because with some more drafts and a better cast, it could've been a truly fantastic movie in all of its components.

As it stands, D-War's strongest components are its visual sense, its effects and its score. The film features some of the best Monster action sequences the genre has to offer, and presents them beautifully. Jablonsky's score is exceptional, and really does highlight the film's visual pieces -- particularly the final battle between the two Imoogis.

Ultimately the film could be compared to some of the worse Harryhausen flicks -- which you don't really watch for their scripts, but for the great stop-motion effects.

Upstream Color (2013)

An admittedly striking and original genre premise that attempts what Jonathan Glazer did in Under the Skin: telling a complex science fiction tale almost entirely through visual abstraction and metaphor, but therein lies Under the Skin's triumph and Upstream Color's failure -- Glazer is a world class visual stylist and potent master of mood, whereas the entire visual and editing scheme that's indulged here is virtually no different than a slick TV advertisement. By the time the characters started reciting Henry David Thoreau's "Walden" to each other for five whole minutes, accompanied by flash cuts and glossy, out of focus shots of nature, I wasn't sure if writer/director/star/composer/producer Shane Carruth was trying to sell me his vision or a life insurance policy with Allstate.

Edge of Tomorrow - if you've ever enjoyed any sci-fi action film (which on this forum should be most of us), it's pretty damn likely you'll like this. It's fun, involving, well-made and exciting.
As any half-glance at the plot synopsis will suggest, it has many plot beats that'll be familiar to you from Groundhog Day and Source Code, but there's a lot more to the film than that.

Willow Creek (2014)

Bobcat Goldthwait trades in his usual black comedy for a stealth remake of The Blair Witch Project, complete with first act interviews with the locals, that's-the-same-tree breakdowns in the woods, and a tent bound night siege by attackers unseen -- all of it impressively well-done, and with a quiet undercurrent of gender satire as Alexie Gilmore's put-upon girlfriend is lead to her doom by her dickhead dudebro boyfriend's boyish adventure fantasies -- scary and smart, even if it never quite reaches the level of hysterical, nerve-wracking terror Blair Witch does.

Under the Skin

The real star of the film for me was the Mica Levi soundtrack, probably one of the more compelling elements of the film, visually the film was quite banal (and I'm sure that's the point) even in the elements of whatthef**kery never really stood out in contrast to drab Scottish locales just more drabness. The rinse repeat elements of the film wore thin mid point and I started to tune out, makes me feel it could have been tightened up.

Spoiler
From a male point of view It's interesting in the way it invites you to see the world from the point of view of female sexuality (and the main character struggle with it), whilst it's the main characters power it's also her downfall, I also found it interesting that her handlers were all male (at least in appearance)

Glazer wanted the whole visual style to look "unadorned" -- that said I think the film looks stunning, especially the shots that are composed like paintings; the "inspection" scene where Motorcycle man looks her over like she's a car, her walking out of the fog, entering the forest, her dreaming herself in the trees, the Motorcycle man standing on a snowy precipice, etc. There's not really a wasted frame.

Lesson of the Evil

It starts out as an intriguing Japanese thriller with a nice build up and a lot of morally grey territory. And then it shits on itself with 40 minutes of over-the-top senseless cartoon violence. While shocking at first, it gets tedious really quickly.

Hideaki Itô is easy on the eyes, though.

I'll Follow You Down (Drama/Sci-fi)

Gillian Anderson,Rufus Oswell,Victor Garber and Sixth Senses Haley Joel Osmet in this movie about a father that goes away on a busniess trip but mysteriously disappears,his child and wife struggle to cope as the years go on the child now grown up picks up his fathers research with help from his grandpa as they make an amazing discovery.

Gillian is stunningly amazing as always,and Haley has become a very good actor. the cast in the film is really solid and very well acted. Story keeps you gripped with wonder and the superbly written characters actually feel real,emtional,the love,loss and consiquences of wormholes and the realistic scientific approach is what makes this movie to me a great watch. Drama at its core that keeps you glued and had my jaw drop in one moment and i'd be lying if I didnt say I choked up in some parts.

Great film.

Long Weekend (1978)

"Spare me the grotty symbolism!" a character shrieks, and Colin Eggleston does: this plays like a clear forerunner to Antichrist, albeit one stripped of Lars von Trier's thematic and visual complexity, and as soon as the leads run down a kangaroo with their car you know it's just a matter of time before their wildlife body count starts to catch up with them -- pity it takes a looooong time to do so before the film's clever finale.

Cronos

Finally sat down to watch this, and I loved it. Despite being a product of the early '90s the film definitely looks and feels older than that. That's not at all a complaint, though; I found that that really added to the movie's charm. Even early on in his career Guillermo del Toro's unique and captivating visuals drove his stories, and it was great watching his early efforts in full effect in this film.

If Crimson Peak is indeed going to be similar in style to this and The Devil's Backbone then I think we're going to be in for something really special.

Finally sat down to watch this, and I loved it. Despite being a product of the early '90s the film definitely looks and feels older than that.

They actually built models that were several feet across in order to showcase the mechanisms inside the Cronos device. There's pictures of one in Cabinet of Curiosities.

Mimic The Director's Cut

That was interesting. I wouldn't call it great by any means (in fact, of the films directed by Guillermo del Toro that I have seen [everything except Blade II] would put it directly at the bottom of the list) but I didn't hate it either. The story was very by-the-numbers, but the film had a great atmosphere to it and a very interesting creature design.

I really look forward to watching the commentary and learning as much about the production of this as possible. I'm interested in hearing del Toro's thoughts on it with the proper context now that I've seen the movie.

As a big Stooges fan for practically my whole life, I enjoy the hell out of this movie. It's nothing particularly new or groundbreaking, but it makes for a fun tribute with three perfectly cast leads. It's eve funnier now that the guy who played Moe showed up as a killer on Hannibal. :laugh: And I f**king lose it every time Curly's pet rat makes Shemp noises. :laugh:

X-men: Days of Future Past

Pretty damn good. The script needed tightening up a bit, just in terms of staying on point and pulling its narrative threads together, and it's not as metaphore-loaded a series as it used to be. But it's basically a good yarn, and the best superhero movie I've seen in a very long time (First Class pretty much put me off the genre, it's only the return of Bryan Singer that's brought me back to the cinema).
It pulls together the original and new casts and plotlines nicely, though unfortunately I'm not sure we'll be seeing much of the new cast in future (performances of Fassbender/Lawrence/McAvoy/Hoult were pretty much the only thing I liked in First Class). And Singer's direction is great to have back, with perfect pacing and well-executed action sequences.

"The Rover"

Just got back from it, thematically very strong the trailers don't really give it away, neither do many of the reviews to be honest (especially the ones who say the film's resolution seems pointless and there isn't much of a story), the somewhat apocalyptic setting is only the background if this was to be put in a genre i'd go western/road movie, Robert Patterson really stands out in this, it's the best i've seen him. And the acting in general is great, as is the dialogue for the most part.

The film gets off to a rocky start but the tension is constant (although not as tense as Animal Kingdom) the world created for the film is a dangerous lawless one, and your reminded at almost every point.

Antony Partos's score works for the most part but at times a little dominating, While the film looks great (Thanks to Natasha Braier "who previously worked with Lyne Ramesy ) and really captures the bleakness of the Australian outback, it would have been great to get see what regular DP Adam Arkapaw (Snowtown, True Detective) would have produced.

I remember a description the male lead gave during the movie of what he saw... He said he saw something like a newborn running through the woods with the legs of a chicken. Still gives me goosebumps.

Willow Creek- 4/10

Boring and thoroughly unsastifying. Nothing was executed effectively as far as creepiness and terror are concerned, and it felt/was too short. The couple had a nice little chemistry going on, though.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms

I hadn't seen this since I was a kid, but it was a pretty effective monster-on-the loose movie. The effects from Harryhausen were fun as always, and I liked how the lead was slightly unconventional and the love interest had a bit of characterization to her. Well, "love interest" is a little generous. The monster and the lighthouse it crushes at one point have better chemistry than they do. And you gotta love that one cop who thinks he's f**king Judge Dredd and tries to take on the monster single-handed. :laugh:

But the Blair Witch Project had genuinely creepy and eerie moments, and was very well executed.


Willow Creek had a great concept, but mannnn the movie is like an hour and ten minutes long and the first 40 minutes just showcased how uncompatible of a couple the leads were.


Spoiler
Then there was this 15 minute tent sequence that just showcased auditory yelps in the woods and a few tent pushes. And the last 15 minutes were just them getting lost until the last 2 minutes when shit hits the fan.  :P

Dumb and Dumber (1994) Unrated version

Been a couple years since I rewatched it, I had forgotten about all the incredible quotes:

"Nice set of hooters you got there."
"I beg your pardon?"
"The owls, they're beautiful"
"Oh..."

"I can't believe we drove around all day, and there's not a single job in this town. There is nothing, nada, zip!"
"Yeah! Unless you wanna work forty hours a week."

"She must have meant 10 oclock at night!"...
"I just thought she was a raging alcoholic"

"We got no food, we got no jobs, OUR PET'S HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"

"Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention."

State Trooper: Pullover!
Harry: No, it's a cardigan but thanks for noticing.


This just pumps me up more for D&Dto ! The deleted/extended scenes were ok, but the alternate endings were very interesting with Barney (the butler), especially with his grandson who was visiting...

Godzilla 2014 My condolences/10.

I finally got to see this and I must say it's the longest trailer I've ever seen. It felt like they were teasing the entire plot and characters throughout the entire film. I didn't get attached to a single character either. It took me by surprise when the very first lead character died and I was hoping this character would somehow come back in a series of flashbacks for some sort of alternate character development but it didn't... Seemed like a total waste of time. Pretty much every fight between the M.U.T.O.s and Godzilla was cut out right when you wanted to see more too so it was incredibly frustrating. Essentially a cock-teaser of a movie.

Also where the hell was that centipede monster that appeared in one of the trailers? I kept waiting for it to show up to no avail which made this film even more frustrating.

The thing is probably the most profound scare I've ever had.  It made me afraid to feed my Siberian husky at night when I was a kid.  I used to run out there dump the food and water in their respective bowls and truck it back to the house before he even realized I had been there.


Plenty of movies have set me on edge but BWP was not one of them.

I don't think BWP is a terrible movie, I just didn't find it scary.  I also suspect being told the Bell Witch story since I was a wee lad also made me immune to much of the shenanigans.  That and being an outdoorsy type anyways. 

I suppose body horror movies get me the worst, followed by movies with satanic themes.  I've never found The Exorcist and movies like it easy to watch.

The Thing is awesome, but not scary. I watched it first when I was 5 during a President's Day movie marathon on USA and Alien had already de-scurred me for anything gory. The Exorcist likewise.

I think my Baptist upbringing makes me more afraid of satanic stuff than I would be without it.


I have my doubts like any person would but in the back of my mind I'm always thinking, "what if."

The Thing is one of my favorite scifi horror movies now but it did scare me as a kid. 

Now movies just don't have the same effect on me.  The last one to make me creeped out was probably the conjuring and it didn't bother me in theaters at all.  Just after I got back at night and was thinking about it. 

I thought the Descent was awesome aspie but aside from some jump scares wasn't bothered by it in the least.

The first time I saw that film I was in Maine in the US for vacation, at a hotel, when I was 9. We watched it on VHS. If you remember, one of the scenes in that movie has one of the kids with a baby monitor picking up some alien chatter, and Mel Gibson stands on the car to get a better signal. Their voices are sort of like a clicking and purring. So that night as we were sleeping we heard that clicking and purring. Exactly the same noise, coming from the kitchen. Now everybody in the family is awake, and this noise is so lifelike and so perfectly identical to that noise in the movie that even my parents are starting to get antsy and freaked out. If you remember the aliens in that movie dissolved/burn when in contact with water. So I nearly shat myself when my dad started running water in the bathroom sink, filling up the cups we used for toothbrushes with water. He then walked into the kitchen...

And it turns out somebody had left the fridge door slightly open, and the sealing mechanism, being incompletely closed, was making the noise. My dad said "go back to bed, big babies". f**k off, YOU RAN WATER CUPS DAD!!!

Sahara (2005)

Matthew McConaughey plays Dirk Pitt (great porn name by the way...) who along with his buddy Al (Steve Zahn) and Eva (Penélope Cruz) go looking for a missing Civil War ship loaded with gold. This was a strange period for McConaughey as he was doing a bunch of shit-house romantic comedies at the time. So why not try your hand at an action movie, right? It's decent enough, and tries to live up to the Indiana Jones-esque vibe but falls incredibly short. Zahn and Matt C. (f**k it, I am not typing his last name again!) got pretty good chemistry. That's about it.

I might watch Lovely Molly in a bit.

And I will probably tear it to shreds.

No shit, that's because nitrogen isn't what we need -- oxygen is. It's not poisonous in and of itself to us, and is found in our bodies naturally.

Whereas the aliens are just f**king killed by water, which basically covers the whole planet that they chose to invade and walk around freely on... it's even dumber than the Martians in WotW not knowing about bacteria.

up until the silly "fairytale"-esque ending. Wich really shat on what preceded it. :P



...if there's a recent film that needs a solid remake, that's it. Just tighten the first acts a bit... then rewrite the ending completely. :laugh: Oh and make the alien actually scary looking... and dont do it in really cheap cgi. (I dont even remember the design of the alien actually looking like it "needed" to be done in cgi... could easily have been a man in a suit or a good puppet.) eh.

Some of the effects in the action scenes don't really hold up, but the effects are fantastic where they really matter: the Reapers are all kinds of insane. I love their look, the way they move, really everything about them. If they're any indication of what to expect in The Strain, them consider me even more excited for that than I already was.

Evil Dead

This excels as an intense gorefest, but it's never particularly scary and lacks the original film's frightening atmosphere. While I can't fault the brilliant effects work here, the use of that same grimy, colour-drained visual style that's been a staple of modern horror ever since the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is slightly disappointing (at least until the climax starts raining blood). Also, even though the acting has (slightly) improved, these characters are somehow even less memorable than Ash's friends.

Yet this feels more like a real sequel than whatever the hell those last two films were supposed to be.

Lots of great aussieisms, Michod used to be a journalist and worked with a lot of police he really captures their personalities well, that whole scene at the police station is perfect, the police officer is Joel Edgertons bro Nash, also a decent film maker hope he gets an opportunity to make a proper film one day.

Mannnnnn I'm in shock right now. It was even very well made. <_<

I haven't seen Joe, but if you're looking for another genuinely good Nic Cage movie watch Adaptation. Loved that one.

Yup, Adaptation is one of the few Nicolas Cage movies I like. The Weather Man is also pretty good.

Y'all mothaf**kas be needin' some Matchstick Men up in here.

Beowulf

Robert Zemeckis brings us this modern film of the ancient Anglo-Saxon epic, adapted by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. I must say, I really enjoyed this movie. Unsurprisingly, many changes were made between it and the source material. Some of those changes I think were very good, and added much more depth to the characters and the narrative (especially the stuff to do with Grendel's mother and the dragon). A few others annoyed me, and felt like needless additions or simplifications (Hrothgar's fate and Beowulf becoming king of Denmark instead of Geatland are two that come to mind). However, they are small things next to the overall impact of the film. It was cast nigh-on perfectly. Ray Winstone as the title character, Anthony Hopkins as the once great King Hrothgar, John Malkovich as Unferth, Brendan Gleeson as Wiglaf, Robin Wright Penn as Queen Wealtheow, and Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother. However, the standout performance for me was Crispin Glover as the horrific Grendel. He brought forth a ture sense of dread and of pity in his delivery of the lines (which were all in Anglo-Saxon, which I thought was a very nice touch). However, the animation used in the film was somewhat distracting. In certain scenes it was beautiful, but there were many that were rooted within the uncanny valley. This felt like a film that didn't really need to be full CGI; live-action may have suited it better, though Zemeckis did utilize the medium to its full extent. Shoutout to Alan Silvestri's suitably epic and Nordic score, as well (a couple of out of place electric guitars aside).

All in all, a very well crafted, very well made film, and a great modern adaptation of a foundational piece in English literature.

I really didn't like it. I felt it was too busy trying to be clever and deconstruct the story. For my money there is no good adaptation, although the Christopher Lambert version is hilarious and the Gerard Butler one is just ... weird.

And then there's Beowulf, Prince of the Geats, which is beautiful:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

Oh, boy. It's been a long time since I've seen this one. I must admit that I have missed the whimsy and magic of the early Potter films. It's a very colourful and bright film and even at this early stage, Emma Watson was clearly the best actress/actor of the three leads. Harry and Ron aren't bad, of course, but I had forgotten just what kind of a pain in the ass smartass Hermione was back then. :laugh:

Kenneth Branagh as Gilderoy Lockhart has to be the most awesome addition to any Harry Potter film ever. :laugh: The basilisk and Lucius Malfoy are great as well. Definitely went for a darker tone this time around, without losing any of its charm.

I actually prefer this to the original. Sparta is cool and all but, I found the Greeks to be more fun. Also Eva Green makes for a fantastic villain. The naval engagements are also well crafted. It gets a little hokey when Themistocles gets on his horse and starts riding from ship to ship slicing and dicing but visually it's so damn fun to watch.

Yesterday's news put me in the mood to watch this again. Predator is an insane amount of fun, and excels in just about everything it tries to do. The story, simple as it is, works perfectly as an excuse to get to all the good stuff: fantastic character interaction and dialogue filled with some of the most memorable one-liners ever, perfectly executed and often over-the-top action sequences, a great atmosphere, and one of the best movie monsters ever put to screen. It's pretty hard to not love this movie.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Another worthy addition to the Harry Potter series. Awkward teenage romance is in the air. Speaking of in the air, so are the dragons. I love the design of the Horntail. Brendan Gleeson is awesome as Mad-Eye Moody and then there is of course the big return of Voldemort, masterfully played by Ralph Fiennes.

If I have one complaint it would be that at this point in the series, the lines between the wizard world and the muggle world is beginning to blur. Look at the scenes where the students aren't wearing uniform. Muggle clothes all around. Wizards and witches were supposed to have a strange sense of fashion if I remember correctly and it would have been fun to see some of that on the screen.

Also, someone need to lend those Weasleys a scissor.

Edge Of Tomorrow

Fairly entertaining sci-fi action with the Cruiser and Emily Blunt. They should be forced to pay royalties to the producers of Saving Private Ryan and The Matrix films though, because daymn... I could have done without the last 5 minutes or so with that add-on ending. Hudson aka Bill Paxton shows up supplying the laughs with a John Waters mustache. :D

Calvary (2014)

"I first tasted semen when I was seven years old."

Those are the first spoken words in this film. Brendan Gleeson, reuniting with The Guard director John Michael McDonagh, plays Father James Lavelle, a Catholic priest who recieves a death threat during confession. He is given a week to put his affairs in order, after which he will meet the killer on the beach and be killed.

Don't let the director's previous film fool you. This is not a comedy. It's a very good drama and Gleeson, Kelly Reilly and Chris O'Dowd delivers excellent performances. The photography and music during the opening credits are exceptionally beautiful and while we are on the subject of credits, I believe this is the first time I have watched a film where the end credits played in absolute silence.

I won't reveal much of the story, but sufficient to say, we get to spend the last (?) week with Father Lavelle, generally considered to be a good man. There is a scene in which he connects with a french woman, after performing the last rites on her husband, that I found very touching.

Anyone who is looking for a strong drama would do well to give this a chance.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

This was my favorite Potter film when it was released in cinemas. Now I'm not so sure. It's still very good though and packs a nice punch at the end, setting things up for the endgame. At least Draco got some kind of character development in this, rather than being the cliché bully.

I only watched it the once, but I remember thinking that Rod Steiger and the story were brilliant, but that scenes went on way too long and the music was just annoying.

A Fistful of Dollars

It's a great movie in its own right, but I think I prefer Yojimbo by a fair bit. Revolver vs rile just isn't as cool as sword/knife vs gun.

RoboCop (2014)

Not as bad as I feared, not as enjoyable as I'd hoped. It has its moments, but it sorely lacks the driving pace and engaging villains of the original, not to mention any sort of real, satisfying climax. The film hemorrhages runtime into characters and subplots that really don't seem to go anywhere, and despite focusing more on Murphy and his family than the original, somehow manages less emotion.

While some of the changes to the themes of the film, making them more contemporary, etc. are fine, I can't help but feel that making ED-209 a fully functioning, competent piece of machinery was akin to remaking Alien with Ash replaced by Old Bob from The Black Hole.

Carnosaur 2 (1994)

Well... if ALIENS had a Jurassic Park makeover, this would be it! This movie pretty much copied Aliens in almost every plot way possible.

Spoiler
1. Civilians at a electric processing station stumble upon classified section.
2. All civilians of area are killed, except for a child (which is a teenage boy).
3. Repair team with government guy (Company rep) come in to investigate.
4. Child found in shock. Guy befriends child since he has a family he left behind. (male version of Ripley)
5. Many of the group investigate sublevels, then get attacked.
6. An attack scene in the helicoptor by a raptor, female pilot is killed, helicoptor crashes and explodes.
7. They can stay outside (they are in desert btw) or go inside into the operations sealed part of the facility.
8. Company guy doesn't want them to blow up the facility.
9a. They set dynamite traps before the raptors can reach the operations. (sentry gun scene)
9b. Child has mad computer hacking skills and finds emergency evac code and activates it.
10. Raptors break thru and the humans are forced from a rescue elevator into the venting system.
11. Guy gets hurt and the gov't guy stays with him with lit dynamite before raptors attack them both. (Gorman and Vasquez)
12.
Spoiler
REVERSE ROLEPLAY!
[close]
Main macho guy gets hurt after falling down probably 5 or 6 stories, child reaches evac team and tells them he is going back for the guy.
13. Guy is found and when they are leaving, they run into the BIG dinosaur. Excuse me, Carnosaur :laugh:
14. They go into huge elevator and close door just as big dino is attacking door.
15. Big dino shows up and rips apart evac guy ('s head).
16. Child decides to fight dino with loader. I'm serious. Best line amidst the battle is end line:
Spoiler
"Eat this, Barney."
[close]
17. Evac coptor leaves within final minute of destruction, complete with final countdown.

Very entertaining and fairly hilarious film from Akira Kurosawa. Toshiro Mifune kicks untold amount of ass as the nameless ronin that inspired Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name. I love how every death in the film was completely bloodless, until the final one.

Tracks (2014)

I'm very glad I caught this one in the cinema, because it's very good, yes, even great.

Tracks is based on the true life story of Robyn Davidson, a young woman who trekked across the Australian desert with four camels and her dog. It's a very beautiful film, with superb casting. Mia Wasikowska brings Robyn to life in an amazing way and you can't help but sympathize with her, despite her not always being the most friendly of people (though for perfectly understandable reasons). Adam Driver plays the role Rick Smolan, a photographer sent by the National Geographic to meet up with Robyn every now and then to document her journey.

Mia Wasikowska's character in this film reminds me a lot of a girl I kind of like, so I might be a bit biased in my affection towards her character, but I really think Mia was phenomenal in this role and has proven herself to be one of the best young actresses working today. I haven't seen Adam Driver in anything previous to this, but he was good and I'm very much looking forward to seeing him in the new Star Wars film.

In many ways, Tracks reminded me of Kon-Tiki, but this was definitely the better film.

Also, camels can be bloody terrifying.

The Shadow (1994)

Goddamn do I love this movie. The characters are great and it has a wonderful 30s pulp noir look to it. Alec Baldwin sells it as Lamont Cranston and his alter ego The Shadow. The overall look of The Shadow is something that has always fascinated me. The fedora and coat along with the duel .45s make him one of the cooler superhero characters out there. One can draw a few similarities to The Phantom.

I always used to say the first, but watching them again I think the second is the tighter film. Though I prefer the Lovecraftian vibe of the first more than the folklore style of the second. But the second introduces so many great characters. But Sammael. But the Angel of Death.

Bah! Can I just say I love them both immensely and twiddle my thumbs and hope for a third to wrap up all of the hanging threads?

Watching Prometheus right now...truly a waste. Beautiful to look at, decent (even if it is somewhat generic) score, mostly solid cast. But the writing is crap and the characters are grating. At times it feels like it wants to soar but then someone opens their mouth. Also, they went with the typical lone survivor ending when they could have easily paired up the two strong female leads who could have provided interesting contrast in the sequel. And, no, I'm not counting David's head.

Snowpiercer

Yep, great movie. If you think of it as Land of the Dead on a Train Minus the Zombies, it's easily the best remake ever. :laugh: Joking aside, loved the movie. It would have been nice if the jackass who uploaded it left the subtitles on for the Korean bits, but I got by okay.

Snowpiercer (2014)

This is hands down my favorite film of the year thus far. Where to even begin? It's expertly shot and gives you a colorful cast of characters to get invested in. I became invested in Curtis' journey; I cared about his character as well as the other passengers in the tail section. Nothing else I've seen this year comes close to this. It's this kind of lunatic imaginative genius that makes going to the movies worth it.

Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your neighbors. Go see this film.

Jurassic Park (1993)

As 4th of July tradition ensues, my favorite sci-fi movie of all time (not named ALIEN 3) has been watched. Every year I notice something new, this year it was in the scene where Dr. Grant finds Ellie: when Ellie runs up to him, Dr. Grant mutters under breath "Where have you been?", then gives a surprised face after she jumps on him. Additionally, during the beginning scene where the raptor cage is being lowered, it is raining slightly in one shot then clear in the rest. Still patiently waiting for the day when this movie gets the UNCUT treatment with all sorts of deleted scenes...

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Again, as 4th of July tradition, TLW gets viewed as well. As for noticing something I never noticed before in this film on this viewing: The final scene with the CNN report, it appears (on the TV screen) that all three (Ian, Sarah and Kelly) are watching the report then of course it pans to show that Sarah and Ian are sleeping. Then on the trailer, there is a short (second or two) scene of Eddie holding the rifle in the air with Nick, Ian and Sarah running for some reason in the distance in a creek. This is not in the film or (official) deleted scenes, now I am wondering what it could have been. Finally, I have always noticed in the film for years that there are tiny messages that Nick and Sarah could have been having an affair and Ian knew about it. Anyone else ever feel/notice that? We need this film in UNCUT version too.

8.5/10

Jersey Boys

I liked it a lot., though there were quite a few things that didn't work for me. Despite its long runtime, there were certain things that I felt should have been expanded on more, namely Frankie's personal life and family. I'm also not quite sure I liked the narration style that the film chose (though maybe that comes from the play, I don't know, but some of the stuff that was talked about would have been better off shown) and the muted colors got a bit draining after a while. I loved the story, though, and the cast was fantastic. Not sure how accurate it was, but it was a very good story and pretty well told. I would definitely watch again.

The Holiday

Honestly it got me all fuzzy inside. Nothing I didn't expect, the movie was even quite stale in that sense, but somehow the cliche atmosphere only added to the charm. It's like you already know what you're gonna see before you see it  - and sometimes that's exactly what I want.

And hey that scene in the tent where little Olivia keeps touching Amanda's face and everything - gawd I couldn't handle the cuteness.

Overall I enjoyed it. Made me smile. :)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Well that was thoroughly retarded, but it's easily the best one I've seen out of this shithouse cinema series. That's no great achievement, given how bad the first two were (although Optimus Prime going full KALI MA on Tony Toddbot was pretty cool), and this makes many of the same mistakes (like the brutal running time, the teal & orange nightmarescape, the US Army recruitment video editing style, or having every human character be an insufferable comic relief), but it just about gets by on the strength of its action sequences - by far the most technically accomplished, violent and (borderline) comprehensible of the first three films. 

Also it gets much better if you imagine Hugo Weaving and Leonard Nimoy being heavily intoxicated during their recording sessions.

Well, that f**king sucked. It's half an hour of small talk and shitty comedy, followed by an hour of shitty action and more shitty comedy, with some small talk thrown in. What a waste of Til Schweiger. Oh, and Shas bailed before the twenty minute mark. :laugh:

Under The Skin

This is a special film. The feeling of mystery,coldness,isolation and lonliness is something that I felt intensly. Every scene is purely captivating and it made me do my real habit of just sitting there and observing people,While I watched this movie I felt like I was the one in the van. The scenary and environment just...my eyes actually got sore from not blinking. I still cannot think of a word to explain this film. I love the alien mystique,wonderfully portrayed,by the time the film ended I wanted it to go on.

I wanted more.

as the credits rolled,I sat there in the dark,just feeling.

The Black Hole

A silly, fun disney adventure flick with a few pretty dark (and actually memorable) scenes. Some crap dialogue and a few melodramatic scenes dont harm the film enough, thankfully. Robots and spaceships are pretty damn well designed (for the most part) and the two silly looking bots are especially adorable and fun to spend some time with. Maximillian Schell acted the hell out of lead villain Hans with flair and campy charm. RIP.

A charming and damn enjoyable ride, i'd say. Not a classic.. but it doesnt shit the bed, either.

7/10.

Transformers (2007)

I don't know how many years it's been since I watched this; maybe four or five? It doesn't matter. But it's easily the most accessible and best of the bunch, which isn't a hard accomplishment. The retard-meter had yet to reach the breaking point. There are three story arcs at play here. Sam's story, Lennox and his team's story and the Transformer's story. Bay does a decent balancing act between the three before they become intertwined. Jesus, I had forgotten that John Turturro was in this. He's a fun character. The humor comes in spurts and it's not forced down your throat like deep wang.

You want to put the fate of the world on the kid's Camero /10

Eyes Wide Shut

first time seeing this, I know I'm late to the party. (seewhatIdidthere). Great film,Kubrik at work once again full of subtle imagery,and subconsious symbolisim. Cruise is great in this as the good doctor who gets in deep with the sharks,plagued by his wifes infatuation with a passing Admiral. Kidman performs well and the party of the elite was wonderfully atmospheric, gives a real sense of presance and forboding.

Also Leelee Sobieski as that costume shop owners daughter is smokin.

loved it. Reminds me of the actual parties like this.

No. It's bizarre in a way that isn't camp enough. It's hard to describe. I wonder if the whacked out editing and tone is a result of the infamous Weinstein battles, but that still wouldn't change the fact that the script (a Black List script, lulz) is terrible and he has no idea how to direct actors in English.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

This was...exceptionally good. Following the events of the first film, the virus has gone global, wiping out most of the human population whilst the apes have thrived. The alliance between human and ape is fragile to almost non existent. The apes don't trust the humans and vice versa.

You got to hand it to Andy Serkis the man behind Caesar. He brings the character to life in spectacular fashion. There are so many little details to appreciate in the performance. Little nuances here and there. I found myself almost getting a little teary eyed during certain scenes because the scenes with just the apes were so well done. Jason Clarke and Gary Oldman did a fine job as the leaders for the band of survivors living in the ruins of San Francisco. The back story for Oldman's character is only hinted at and it would have been nice to see some more of his character.

This is one of the better movies let alone sequels to come out this year. It's packed with character moments and solid action sequences. In the end, you just might want to join the apes in their crusade.

Watched this for the first time in many years. All things considered, I think this is the stronger film of the two. While I prefer the cosmic approach to the supernatural in the first film over the folkloric take foc-used on in this movie, the overall story, characters, and just general feel of the movie was a lot tighter.

Damnit, now I want that third film.

I love both. Cronos is an excellent, rather down-to-earth take on the vampire subgenre and, as del Toro's first film, plants a lot of seeds for elements that would pop up again in his more recent films. The Devil's Backbone is a great story that uses the Spanish Civil War as a backdrop (just as Pan's Labyrinth would go on to do a few years later). It centers around a refugee orphanage for boys who lost their parents in the war and, although it features a ghost, I wouldn't really call it a horror film.

I recommend both highly. I don't have either on Blu-ray but I've heard great things about their Criterion releases.

It's even better than the first film. It's a joyful and truly beautiful film. The art and creature design is amazing. The story is good and have quite a few heartfelt moments. It's pretty refreshing with an animated film where the characters actually grow older and suffer real consequences and injuries from their battles.

Yup. Watched them back to back and I enjoyed the second one even more. It could have helped that I watched that one on the big screen and in 3D, but overall, I think it beats the first one. Which isn't to say I don't love the first film. It's great.

The Darjeeling Limited

A great film about three brothers grieving for their father embarking on a spiritual journey across India. Think this was my fourth time watching it. I love Wes Anderson's direction in this, the cast that was assembled to bring life to these characters, and the soundtrack that was compiled to accompany the beautiful visuals. A very personal movie for me. Maybe not Anderson's best, but definitely my favourite.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

It's even better than the first film. It's a joyful and truly beautiful film. The art and creature design is amazing. The story is good and have quite a few heartfelt moments. It's pretty refreshing with an animated film where the characters actually grow older and suffer real consequences and injuries from their battles.

Excellent, I really loved the first one.

The Wachowsky siblings Speed Racer adaptation.

Live Action anime done RIGHT.

Sure aint perfect... but god damn..
it's as good as a live action adaptation of the very silly 60's anime can get.

Rex Racer/10

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

This was a fantastic film. Well-written and greatly directed, and brought to the screen through a breathtaking combination and synergy of thespian ability and digital artists. The action was superb, perfectly straddling the line between utterly ridiculous and really, really badass. And the main reason it worked was because I cared about the characters, on both sides of the conflict. Even the antagonists I could at least sympathize with. That is a feat when one of them is a heavily scarred digital creation of another species. Would have liked to seen more of Gary Oldman, though. Giacchino's score was marvellous; there was a point where some woodwind instrument was playing a solo (not sure if it was a flute or a piccolo), and it brought forward a really great old-school film feel, instantly bringing to mind the original films, but not in a way that distracted from the current ones. It was very good.

Yeah. One of the best films of the summer.

The Edge of Tomorrow
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

I wish I could write full, proper reviews for both of these, but I'm on my phone, so I'll keep it short. Incredible, both of them. Along with Godzilla (though, to be honest, coming mostly through these) my faith has been restored in the promise of summer blockbusters that aren't Marvel superhero movies. Outstanding drama, action, editing, art direction, and most of all, performances from both.

Seeing the terrible trailer for a movie called Into the Storm playing before both films, something that looked like an almost tongue in cheek parody of blockbusters (both audiences were certainly laughing and mocking it for how insultingly bad it looked) really put a constrasting focus on how powerful a truly outstanding blockbuster picture can be, something that stimulates the senses and never fails to entertain, sticking wih you as more than disposable shlock, while maintaining a true spectacle.

I really would like to go into further detail on how utterly impressed I was with both and how I loved them, and I probably willl later, but I'm going to take the YouTube reviewer route since I'm on my phone and just say: go watch them. They're really, really great films.

Watched Dawn Of the Planet of the Apes earlier.

On par with the first, it's decent blockbuster, its really all about the apes on horses shooting machine guns, It's a decent film just find its a tad overhyped.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Spoilers in the review. Although I use that word loosely since it's not really a film that throws surprises at you.

Spoiler
A lot stronger than the first film featuring more of the apes this time. But it's not without its eyerolls...

The supporting wife may as well have been taken straight from a female role in Godzilla and Keri Russel was as flat as the role demanded. Then there's the distant son who they're trying to get closer to and the son saying, "I didn't know you had a daughter" (basically they had a little girl who died) seems to do the trick really. It was a cheap tug-on-the-heartstrings moment when there were more touching scenes with the apes. The motion capture acting for the apes is the strongest in the film and the human performances are generally weak in comparison. I would have actually liked to see more of Kirk Acevedo in this. It seems like they just got to a point where they didn't know what to do with him anymore and had him killed off. Keri Russel and Gary Oldman may as well have been replaced with unknowns.

Usually I cannot stand fakeout deaths. If you're going to do a big death, do it properly and then stick to it. But I'm torn on how I feel regarding Ceaser's "death." On one hand I wish it wasn't a fakeout because it was obvious that he would come back. On the other hand, it kind of works - even if it was clear they were setting up for a fight scene between him and Koba.

Then there's the CGI. While I am generally against CGI that is overused and I hate it when it looks fake, the CGI in this is actually amazing. That being said, in the action scenes it often felt like those scenes were a showcase for the CGI.

But overall it's a strong sequel and despite its weak spots, I did find it touching. What I liked about the film was how it wasn't necessarily pro-humans. One bad apple is all you need for chaos to start. And the humans had a few of them and the apes had 1 really rotten apple in Koba. That, to me, is what really made the film work. That and the technical mastery in the visuals. Also, that final shot is fantastic.
[close]

8/10

The Initiation

OK so maybe I only watched this because it stars a 21-year-old Daphne Zuniga, but this turned out to be a pretty good little slasher and I'm surprised it doesn't come up more often in horror movie discussions. It's well paced, has characters that aren't all entirely dislikable, makes good use of its locations (including a massive shopping mall), and boasts some convincing gore effects.

Though you can probably figure out the 'big reveal' about eighty minutes ahead of time.

Yeah, that's the one. Can't really find a copy of it at the moment, though. And considering Robert Towne bookended the 90s with Days of Thunder and Mission: Impossible II, I can't really say I miss the third movie all that much.

I only found a copy by accident at a market stall. With never actually watching it I can't say whether it was a good buy, or even if it deserved a final entry. I've never actually seen Days of Thunder but I can't say I'm a fan of MI 2.

I never would've guessed they were all the same writer either. Seems like he's had a pretty varied career as a writer.

I found a copy of this after all. It was pretty well done. Not Chinatown good, but good. Dat Keitel. 8) Madeleine Stowe was unintentionally hilarious, though.

Suck it! /10

And for the love of all things holy, stay away from the Wikipedia page. It spoils a specific plot point in the opening blurb.

Batman the Movie (1966)

This was f**king hilarious and the best way possible. It's not dark nor moody but pure unadulterated fun. You can pretty much swim in the camp that's present here. It's very tongue and cheek and that's what they were going for.

The Joker, Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman come up with a scheme to take over the world. Little do they know the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder are there to stop them at every turn! If you thought William Shatner as Kirk was melodramatic, get a load of Adam West. Also I wouldn't expect the Riddler to be more bat shit (pun intended) insane than the Joker. Frank Gorshin was f**king awesome as Riddler.

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb! /10

You know if the Purge wasn't the main focal point, this would be an almost perfect Punisher movie. It's Frank Grillo running around saving lives while trying to reach the man who killed his son. It almost felt like an audition of sorts to play the character. He certainly looks the part, and carries himself as a stressed out, sleep deprived, angry badass pretty damn well.

If ever there was a movie that I doubt I'll see more than once, this it. If you love dogs, the first 10-15 minutes will determine if you can stomach the rest. Those first 10 minutes? Me with tears pouring down my face while trying to hold them in. Whatever your stance on the portrayal of the shit that happens is, it'll have some kind of effect on you, the viewer that will either infuriate you towards what's on screen or how it's presented. I say this since it can come off as cheap shock value to some while full on eye opening and horrifying with everything presented being such sensitive subject matter. However, this is a film that if you can sit through, deserves to be watched at least once.

Predator 2

This movie is insane. Not as good a movie as the first one, but it is oh so much fun in every way imaginable. I can't help but to love it.

Predators

This one is a bit more problematic. I love everything up to and including the exposition scene with Noland in the big drill hideout, but nothing after that really clicks the way the first half of the film does. Noland is completely wasted by betraying the group a minute later (and dying a really stupid death), the Predators begin to drop like flies (though the sword fight sequence was really well shot), Edwin's reveal felt really tacked on, and everything just felt really rushed, like a sequence of events happening just because the script says so. I love the look of the Predators in this one (minus Classic's permanently opened mouth) but none of them really get a moment to shine and they don't have any distinct personalities like the Predators in the first two films had.

Well, now I got those out of my system. Can't wait to see what Shane Black brings to the table in the next one. :)

The Dinosaur Project

From the annals of "It's Friday night and I've nothing better to do but look for obscure movies". Honestly, though, this isn't too bad. Simple, fairly unpretentious found-footage film of a group of people looking for Mokele Mbembe crash-landing in the Amazon and meeting some dinosaurs. The effects weren't as bad as the trailer made them look and the acting wasn't (universally) terrible.

Just caught fifteen minutes of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance on TV (the part where Cage is fighting the bad guys at the construction site). Man, I really need to give this movie a second chance, because if nothing else, the action in this movie is f**king insane. Not to mention that Cage's over the top performance is kind of fitting (and entertaining), seeing as how he is trying to hold back a bloodthirty demon from taking control over him most of the time.

Pompeii

Jon snow battles the romans under the carnage spewing forth from the volcano.

I really thought it would be shit. but, I was wrong. Its kinda cool, if anything but a solid action flick. Story was ass,but it worked well enough. Sutherland played a good arsehole.

Destruction effects where great.

overall I enjoyed this little action escapism.

Elysium

First time watching this since seeing it in the theater last year. If you're a fan of the film, which I am, it holds up very well on a second viewing. Granted, it does have quite a few glaring problems; the flashbacks don't really work for me, the political/social commentary is kind of excessively in your face (though that didn't put me off as much as it did other people), the government leaders might as well be twirling their mustaches the entire time, and the facial-reconstruction thing still just doesn't sit right with me.

Nitpicks aside, however, I enjoy the hell out of this movie. It is visually stunning, even on the small screen. There's a level of complexity and detail to be found in the visuals that you don't often see in a big production like this; anyone can use CGI, but Blomkamp uses it to wonderful effect. I felt every blow in the fight between Max and the droid just prior to Max's initial confrontation with Kruger. Everything from the tattered landscapes to the droids to the exosuits are clearly designed and brought to life with love. There are few directors in the industry that I'm aware of that can worldbuild the way Blomkamp can. And Kruger, oh man. Everyone knows it by now, but this guy is off-the-wall crazy. Copley knocks it out of the park here; I could watch him do his thing for hours.

Elysium is definitely not a perfect movie, but I can rally behind it all the same. There is so much to love in here. It's definitely not on the level of District 9, but hey, that's a hard directorial debut to one-up with your next film. I'm all kinds of excited for Chappie next year. That movie seems like it is going to be absolutely insane.

Transcendence (2014)

Well it's not the worse movie I've seen all year so that's a plus. While the premise is intriguing and has loads of potential, it was executed in the most hack-eyed manner possible. Also something about the performances rubbed me the wrong way. Apart from trying to stuff every Nolan-Batman actor in the movie, it felt like everyone wasn't invested or looked interested in what they were doing. Kate Mara and the star himself Johnny Depp gives two of the most uninteresting and deadpan performances of the film.

If you want to watch something of this nature, then you can't go wrong with Brett Leonard's Virtuosity and The Lawnmower Man. They've got maximum Jeff Fahey and Russell Crowe.

Ringu 2 is actually scarier than the first film -- Nakata knows there is no story so he just frontloads it with one surreal nightmare set piece after another. It's not anywhere near as good an actual film as the first one though.

47 Ronin

Reeves latest, in this retelling of one of japans famous historical tales. This version opts for the more mythical and fantasy elements then the historical version. but I for one embraced it, and to be honest. I really enjoyed it, great action,Sanada is the f**kin jefe of jefe's so that alone is worth 5 points. Reeves does fine,used to Reeves so no surprises there. effects where well done.

overall good flick, i dont get why so many have a whinge about it.

Jurassic Park III

Was channel surfin and saw this was on AMC. Decided to watch it only bc there were notes on everything during it (therefore an actual reason to watch it :P ), most interesting fact during was that they used hisses and vulture sounds to create the raptors noises. Also, the fact Speilberg was on the set and doing everything but the actual directing. Finally, that Stan winston himself said that the river scene wit Spino were the best atmosphere moments in the film.

One of the few movies where the information notes are better that the actual movie/10

The Tale of Three Brothers segment is bloody outstanding. :)

However, I have to agree with some criticism against the film series and that is Hermione being too perfect and all of Ron's best moments being taken from him and given to her character in the film. :-\

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

This is without a doubt Marvel's most ambitious and sci-fi driven film to date. It is also the more entertaining film I've seen all summer. No joke. These characters were so goddamn fun to be around; all distinct in personality. The cast for the most part did an excellent job. Chris Pratt as Star-Lord is a fun rogue and cocky Han Solo type character and it works, as does Bradley Cooper as Rocket. For me though, the real scene stealer was Groot. I can not tell you how many times Groot put a smile on my face.

James Gunn has done something great here. He's essentially gone beyond the traditional Marvel films and literally crafted a living breathing universe. I mean, hell, I expected to see Luke Skywalker walking about. The soundtrack is very important to the film, as many of the tracks come off Peter's Mix Tape. I do wish there was more with The Collector. We didn't nearly see him as much as I'd like.

Spoiler
Thanos is completely CGI and Brolin f**king nailed the voice. Very menacing and commanding.

The Avengers can take a seat. I want to follow these guys around for a while. It's exactly what I expected it to be and had a blast watching it. This will receive multiple viewings for sure. It's a Marvel movie that can appeal to everyone really. It's got the action, the comedy and the heart.

The Expendables 3 (2014)

Not bad, but not quite as good as I had hoped it would be.

Stallone ditches the old team and recruits a new one to take down Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), one of the original Expendables. When the new team gets taken down, it's up to the old guys to come to their rescue. To be honest, I didn't give much for the fresh blood. Antonio Banderas was a welcome addition however and he can best be described as the Merc with a Mouth. Gibson was an okay villain, but he left something to be desired.

These movies peaked with The Expendables 2. It doesn't get any better than that, in my opinon,

Sly's and Arnold's last conversation got a smile out of me though.

"I thought you retired."

"I lied."

Ford was pretty decent. He had a sting to him, seemed to enjoy himself and didn't just phone it in. He's Church's replacement as their CIA contact, but he gets in on the action towards the end as well. As for the PG-13 rating, I honestly didn't notice much difference compared to the previous two films. Maybe some lack of CGI blood, but personally I couldn't really give a damn about that anyway.

The Peanut Butter Solution

Seriously, watch this movie. It's an absolutely insane, disturbing, and hysterical long-forgotten children's film (I call it a children's film very loosely) from the 80s about a little boy who encounters something referred to as "the fright," which is so scary that he literally loses his hair... And that's just the beginning! Bonus points: Saul Tigh is the kid's father.

Best movie ever made.

Should have watched it with a group of friends. It's much funnier (and makes it somewhat tolerable) cause everybody reacts differently.

Actually it was pretty funny to watch it like that too. When the Captain of the Gotengo is asked if he really wants to accomplish such a plan (reawakening Godzilla to defeat the other threats), he simply replies with a blank "yes" -- we bursted laughing loudly at that and in many other instances, simply at how idiotic it was.

Gamera: The Brave

I had heard mixed things so I looked it up, found it, and watched it online out of curiosity. While some of the effects, music and ideas are fine, everything else feels half baked. Like, I'm down for a Gamera movie recapturing the feel of the older ones with up to date (for Japan at least :P) effects, and better child actors but it is way too cheesy and it felt at times, especially at the end like I was watching the crappy first Pokemon movie. Was also not a fan at all of the stock monster roars used for Gamera as well as Gamera err...Toto's design. Zedus is cool being pretty aggressive and being mostly on top during the battle (always love a villain that's in control for most of the fights), but his design is bland as f**k literally culminating to just being an edgy Komodo Dragon that would fit in well as a Sonic the Hedgehog villain if you just gave him sunglasses. Overall though the movie was decent, and I did like them slowly making Gamera grow over the course of the movie and reinstating him as the friend of all children. However, I doubt I'll rewatch it any time soon. Hopefully next years reboot finds a middle ground between the older camp flicks, and the awesome Heisei Trilogy.

The Expendables 3

I mostly enjoyed the hell out of this. It's a lot of fun, and Snipes steals the show. The only down side for me was that the middle portion of the film where Sly puts the team of young people together kind of dragged the pacing down, and none of them really got much to do until the big finale. Hell, I'm not even sure Ortiz did anything at all. Said finale made up for all of that, though. Holy shit.

Oh, and another big plus: Statham's girlfriend is finally gone. For good, hopefully.

Under the Skin

Without a doubt one of the most bizarre pieces of cinema I've ever seen.  That being said, it absolutely blew me away.  It's been a long time since a movie made me feel constantly on edge.  It was horrific and beautiful at the same time.  Scarlett Johannson's performance is outstanding.  I loved this movie, I couldn't find a fault anywhere, the score was unbelievable, the tension absolutely perfect.  On par with 'Her' as the best film I've seen this year.

Hercules

Big, loud, dumb, and filled to the brim with just about every action movie cliché imaginable... and as a result, decent throwaway summer fun in a no-brain-required sort of way. I never felt insulted watching this movie because it knew exactly what it wanted to be. It was edited and paced like an hour and a half long music video and was filled to the brim with as much violence and screaming and horse-throwing as possible, and when it came time it ended. It didn't drag on for a million and a half hours like, say, the Transformers movies do.

It'd be dumb to critique this movie on any genuine level because, at the end of the day, its a dumb movie. I will say, though, that they straddled the line a bit too much between the "mythological" and "realistic" views on who/what Hercules is, and when they finally seemed to take a side it was the opposite of the one I would have preferred to see them take.

The Expendables 3

I mostly enjoyed the hell out of this. It's a lot of fun, and Snipes steals the show. The only down side for me was that the middle portion of the film where Sly puts the team of young people together kind of dragged the pacing down, and none of them really got much to do until the big finale. Hell, I'm not even sure Ortiz did anything at all. Said finale made up for all of that, though. Holy shit.

Oh, and another big plus: Statham's girlfriend is finally gone. For good, hopefully.

Look out for da choppa /10

Mad Max

Finally watched this, and I enjoyed in immensely. Wasn't sure what to really expect going in, but I was surprised by how dialed back it was compared to the trailer for the new one. Not that that's a bad thing, though; the film has heart, a really great sense of style, and some insane, brutal action. Looking forward to the sequels now.

Iron Man 2 (2010)

It's one of those movies that just grows on me each time I see it. Tony and Rhodey are awesome together and I simply love Rhodey's introduction, which could just as well (as I suspect was intended) be a comment on Don Cheadle replacing Terrence Howard. Pepper and Tony have good chemistry for most part as well, but it does get a bit much from time to time and I prefer it when Pepper is not reduced to a screaming damsel.

So, while the action and humor ("We need you." "More than you know." "Not that much.") is superb and the story is serviceable, the villain is unfortunately somewhat weak. To begin with, how could he create a suit? He had the designs of the arc reactor from his father, but those are two different things. Also, the climax left something to be desired and had things went the way they should, he would have been killed right off the bat. He didn't know the "Ex-Wife" wasn't going to work, yet made no attempt to protect himself. Same goes for when Tony and Rhodey were crossing beams. The guy didn't even try to cover his face, yet they could just as easy have shot him in the face with those damn things.

Well, overall, the good outweighs the bad.

Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris

The japanese Monster film, along with the preceding film. Extremely well constructed, tightly paced, and just all-around fantastic. I love the characters, the photography, the score, the atmosphere. It also knows how to shoot its effects -- as opposed to many other Monster films from the same country. There's some dodgy shots here and there of course, but never once it makes you think "yeah, that's so a guy in a suit." Love it.

Seeing it again reminds me -- I still have to acquire the trilogy blu-rays so much time after their release. Damn.

I'd much rather they'd committed to The Manderin entirely, as the character was originally envisioned... and I'm a huge Guy Pearce fan, but that villain plot twist was utterly inept - a fate shared by how The Dark Knight Rises turned out.

I loved Red Skull myself. He was essentially a Saturday morning cartoon "I want to rule the world!!!" type villain, but he was a ton of fun to watch. Can't go wrong with Hugo Weaving, and I'd love to see him come back.

Abomination was cool looking and had some really great action sequences, but I agree that he wasn't exactly the most memorable villain out there.

I can't agree with that. I'd rank Killian as one of the worst villains, along with Malekith and Vanko. Red Skull was well done, I think and while the Abomination wasn't all that special, I think they did a good job with Blonsky and all the things leading up to his transformation.

Oh, Hugo Weaving was great, but I'm just bored with "I want to rule the WORLD!!!1!"-type villains. Which is why I loved what IM3 did with the Mandarin. Breath of fresh air in a genre of films that has lately become quite bloated and stale.

Killian wasn't exactly original himself. What did he want again? To sell weapons and get a bit of revenge on Tony? I have honestly forgotten his motivation. :-\

Killian himself wasn't very original, but the execution of him was. The whole bait-and-switch of the villains was one of my favourite things in the whole MCU.

While I don't mind it as much as I did when I first saw the film, I would have prefered if they had kept the Mandarin as the villain. The way they portrayed him in the trailers (as well as interviews with the director), he was made out to be very eccentric and unusual in himself. I'll admit that the twist was well handled, but since they replaced him with such a dull villain, I don't think it works as well as they had intended, and as such, I think they would have been better off just sticking with the Mandarin. However, since we might yet see him in a film, I might get my wish fulfilled. ;D

Personally, I'd rather the "real" Mandarin in the films just be a centuries-old Warlord. A figure of history, highly influential, but very dead.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 29, 2014, 11:55:59 PM
The way I took the One-Shot, it could theoretically go either way. The "real" Mandarin could be an ancient, deceased warlord of the past, or one that has somehow survived into the present day. Or a title that has simply been passed down.

I think the last one I watched was the week before TWS was released. "T.A.H.I.T.I." I think...

Nope, last I saw was "End of the Beginning."

When you get around to watching TWS, I'd say it is probably best to have up to the episode "End of the Beginning" watched. That one puts a few pieces for the film in place, and the following episode, "Turn, Turn, Turn," aired right after the film's release.

In fact, the parents fights change both of them so much that they literally "become different people" by the end. :laugh: A true art film that isnt so pretentious and up it's own ass that it avoids being entertaining at all. (It has Car chases! Shoot outs! Kung fu! Tentacle sex!)

I enjoy it quite a bit, and find that with each viewing it definitely improves (I want to say this is my fourth time watching it). On its own as a film its not all that special, but as a piece in Marvel's larger puzzle it fits right in, gets the job done, and entertains quite a bit. The Thor and Loki chemistry is probably at its best here, and while Malekith is essentially a non-entity the final fight between him and Thor is probably the most imaginative in the MCU to date. I love what they did with the portals and Mjolnir. The Frigga scene and its aftermath are extremely well done as well. Just needs more Heimdall, Sif, and the Warriors Three!

Anyways, that boomerang scene! :D :D :D :D :D How come nobody told me that Rong was in this film as a kid?

Nah, Rong was the villain in the first movie. :laugh:

Guardians of the Galaxy

This was an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. The smile on my face must have been so stupid looking, but the film really was a joy to watch. James Gunn really knocked this one out of the park. I don't know if I can speak for everyone, but this is definitely the Marvel movie in my eyes. Visually, Guardians is stunning. There are some really great effects here. You've all seen the screencaps and the trailers, so you know how beautiful the space vistas and ships and prison and cantina and everything else look, but seeing it on the big screen like this is definitely something else. As CGI characters, Rocket and Groot are also exceptionally well realized. They looked fantastic, and definitely felt to me like a big part of the film's always beating heart.

The Guardians themselves were all perfect. On their own, each one was an extremely interesting and entertaining character brought to life by perfect, inspired casting. Each of the actors completely nailed their given role. Chris Pratt is Star-Lord in the very same way that Robery Downey Jr. is Iron Man (though Star-Lord is without a doubt even more fun!). Gamora won me over the moment she stepped on screen (her first moments with Quill are especially great), Rocket and Groot are everything you hoped they could be and more, and Drax, simple minded as he was, was a huge scene sealer with an extremely interesting backstory. If you like dry humor as much as I do, he is going to have you in stitches. But there is also a lot more to these misfits than their spectacular senses of humor. Like Quill said, they're all losers. They all lost something, and you really do feel for each and every one of them.

My only real qualm with the film had to to with the villains. In almost typical Marvel fashion, they felt underutilized. That being said, they were handled extremely well when they were on screen and the actors and actresses nailed their roles.

So yeah, the movie blew me away. You all know how high my expectations were with this one, and they were undoubtedly exceeded. Guardians is without a doubt the most fun you will have in the theater this summer, and I definitely plan on checking it out on the big screen again soon.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Well, it was good, but I'm afraid I won't be joining the Galaxy choir on this one.

Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, was a bit hit and miss for me. I do think that Chris Pratt did a good job with the role. Whil he was fun, I do think there was something missing, but I can't quite put my finger on it. As for him being more fun than Tony Stark - no way! Rocket and Groot were extremely well handled, I think. I had lots of fun with these two and some really heartfelt moments as well (Rocket's drunken rant, for example). Drax was a bit hit and miss as well, but in the end, the good outweighed the bad. I think they dropped the ball a bit with Gamora. She never came off as that dangerous, which she should, seeing as how she was described as a living weapon and an assassin over and over again. The romance with Quill felt pretty forced and her "sudden change of heart" in the beginning of the movie came out of nowhere as well, I think.

As for the villains, Brolin rocked it as Thanos. Ronan was pretty disappointing and felt very much like Malekith (Mark II). Even the design of the ship was similar to that of the Dark Elves. I liked Karen Gillan as Nebula though. A shame we didn't get to see more of her. Djimon Hounsou was utterly forgettable on the other hand.

Now, some spoiler talk...

Spoiler
So, the Kree and the Xandarians were at war? Now, if just one Kree ship could wreck this much havoc, even without Ronan using the Infinity Stone, why the need for a peace treaty? Much like Malekith's ship, it felt a bit overpowered.

Baby Groot was adorable. Even more so when dancing. :D

The after-credits scene was even more awesome when seeing it on the big screen. :laugh:

Fun fact; the actor that plays the guard that asked Quill to put down the leg? His name is Ronan.

Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 01, 2014, 07:28:32 PM
Fair enough, I definitely get the hit and miss feeling some elements are going to have with some people. There were indeed a few bits that felt kind of clunky (Ronan and the Kree, some of the stuff involving the Collector). Guess it just gelled a bit better for me.

I really loved Gamora myself, though. She wasn't the one I was most looking forward to seeing, but coming out she was definitely one of the characters I was most invested in. I also found Drax and all of his deadpan remarks to be hilarious. I agree that, as the film went on, he really seemed to come more into his own.

Spoilers:

Spoiler
I am very, very glad that they kept Nebula alive, simply because she didn't have all that much to do. Gillan was great in the role, and I definitely want to see her given more to work with if she ever returns.

The clunky bit with the Collector I referred to above involved Carina's attempt to get her hands on the Orb to take him down. It all seemed to happen so fast, even with the earlier remark about the Collector's mistreatment of her and his past aid.

A few blips aside, though, I really do think I'd put it up there with the best that Marvel has to offer. I had a ridiculous amount of fun, and definitely plan on seeing it again.

So, who was your favorite character, Nightmare? I think I'll have to go with Groot. Despite his limited vocabulary, he manages to convey a lot of emotion and the CGI was spotless. The tender moments he had with the little girl and the rest of the team when she ship went down were outstanding.

Oh, and the...

Spoiler
Stan Lee cameo worked perfectly along the introduction of Rocket and Groot. :D

I'm having a really hard time choosing a favorite; the team dynamic just worked so well for me that I find it hard picking just one. :D If I have to choose, though, I think I'm also going to go with Groot. Though Quill is definitely the most fleshed out character, and seeing Chris Pratt do his thing was really great.

Yeah, that first interaction with Gamora and Quill is definitely one of the best scenes in the film. Loved the way the characters interacted, and even green Saldana is gorgeous. :D

The Expendables III

Meh, was alright. Hated the lack of blood and gore compared to the previous films.

Saw a N7 hat or hoodie hanging inside the crews plan though, that was pretty sweet.

Spoiler
Mel Gibson's performance in the last fight scene was just...terrible. I don't know if it was just the lack of blood, but the way he was flailing his arms and jerking his body around when he was being shot just looked stupid. He was pretty solid in the rest of his performance though. I did think JCVD was a better bad guy.

Divergent

     6.5/10

     Saw it just Yesterday because I didn't have any great expectations for this and I didn't wanted to go to the cinema . I'm glad I didn't .  :)

    The first hour and a half were awesome . I liked the faction system way over the districts from The Hunger Games . Even if it wasn't so original , It did well overall . I really enjoyed the first half of the movie ... then , meh  :-\ , It became generic . I already known how it was going to end . I already knew they were going to kiss at the end ( and they did , to my surprise ) , I knew almost everything . The last 15 minutes of the movie were spent on speed-foward . 

   You should watch it if you were amazed by The Hunger Games or if you've got no other movie to watch .

Is that the one where Charlton Heston plays a Mexican? :laugh:
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Blacklabel on Aug 02, 2014, 06:42:59 PM
Yes! A very "americanized" mexican with a "nearly perfect" american accent and 'Merikan wife.... and he kinda gets away with it. Here and there you can hear hints of a mexican accent in a few words... but it suits the character well, i think. Marlene Dietrich also plays a mexican! :laugh:

Very much worth the 2 hours of sitting down your badonkadonk. Just make sure you are watching the Reconstructed version. As the original release of the film was re-cut by the studio against Welles wishes. You can tell them apart easily in the first minutes because there is a disclaimer before the film starts on the reconstructed version.

Next on the to watch list is:

Wages of Fear
Snake of June (this has been sitting on the hardrive for months as well!)

A Snake of June is hardcore awesome. I think you'll like the industrial/baroque soundtrack. Hope your rip is of the Japanese DVD and not the UK/US one -- the colors on the latter are shit. It should look like a beautiful, aquamarine blue.

Watching Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance -- some insane action sequences and a great looking Ghost Rider (besides the awful morphing effects) cannot make up for what is otherwise just an incompetently made film.

The first one was more engaging and definitely better packaged.

Saw Super 8 for the first time.

I'll be honest with you, up until now I have never even had a clue what this movie even remotely is or what it's even remotely about. Never really followed any of the trailers or news. Today it was on T.V and I haven't seen a new movie for some time so I thought why not. I watched it completely oblivious to what it was.

I'm hesitant on calling it fantastic or amazing, but it was certainly a good watch, not bad at all.

Amazing Spiderman 2

Probably the first movie where I actually felt like I was watching Spiderman,since Spiderman 2. Action was great,wise cracks and cheesyness galore which is pure spidey, the key loss was great and tugged at the strings. Opening scene with Parkers parents was pretty awesome too.

Overall,I give it a yes.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Special Extended Edition

A beautiful film. One of the few of this century that I would call a true epic, in the classical tradition. A monumental creative feat brought together by hundreds and thousands of incredibly passionate and talented people, crafted with love and dedication. No matter how many countless times I see this film, it never ceases to have a profound effect on me.

In a word: perfect.

I'm usually six months behind on new year and birthday.  Still be writing checks with the previous year WELL into the next year as well as thinking I'm six months younger than I am. 


Always a bummer to find out. 


Probably because I don't announce or celebrate my own birthday and haven't for awhile.  Just another day.  Would've been cool to have been born a day earlier and shared my birthday with AMERICA though.  I might've remembered it then.

Amazing Spiderman 2

Probably the first movie where I actually felt like I was watching Spiderman,since Spiderman 2. Action was great,wise cracks and cheesyness galore which is pure spidey, the key loss was great and tugged at the strings. Opening scene with Parkers parents was pretty awesome too.

Overall,I give it a yes.

8/10

I'll come out and say it now - I liked The Amazing Spider-Man 2 more than Guardians of the Galaxy.

From the fresh reviews of TASM2 on RT:

"The film is a narrative disaster..."
"Passes comic-book muster"
"In spite of the numbing effect of this chaotic claptrap..."
"Ever get the feeling you're being jerked around?"
"...while The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is enthralling, in the end, it's also pretty empty."
"Overstuffed plot and too many villains..."
"A problem of tone, it moves from emotion to emotion carelessly. And it is impossible to suspend disbelief when absolutely everything is visibly branded with the Sony logo."
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suffers from trying to cram too much fanfare into one pudgy film, which can't be saved by its overflowing surge of spectacular special effects."
"The good outweighs the bad, but this is a frustratingly inconsistent sequel."
"So much better than its predecessor that I've gone from being merely disappointed with the 2012 reboot to being downright angry about it."
"Competent. Nothing more."
"It manages to be both awful and entertaining, frequently at the same time."

"Dull villainy almost defeats a rather lovely romantic comedy."

:laugh:

Now THIS is a perfectly shot film. Beautiful, beautiful. It works as a nice erotic thriller as well as an artsyfartsy flick. Very entertaining... and very hot. :P

Note: No wonder that Shinya Tsukamoto likes Hideo Kojima's video games so much... they both have a love for unexpected weird shit. 

Next flicks to watch:
Lucio Fulci's The Beyond
Mario Bava's Black Sabbath

Bored frigid housewife starts getting blackmailed by a stalker... he forces her to do "certain things" for his voyeuristic thrills.... it kinda plays like a thriller.. will she get killed by the stalker? What will happen?

It's much more conventional (relatively speaking) than Tetsuo but it still has a few VERY WEIRD scenes in there.

It's lots of fun, actually.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Quite possibly my favorite MCU film. :)

Spoiler
I'm looking forward to see what role Hydra will play in Age of Ultron, seeing as how they most likely won't be afflicted with Ultron. Also, one of the things I'm most excited for is for the Avengers to meet Director Coulson again. Here's hoping that'll happen in Age of Ultron as well.

Can't wait to see it again myself! Holding out for the Blu-ray release (which happens to be the same as the AoS release; that should make for a fun marathon!).

Spoiler
Agreed completely about Coulson, though I'm not necessarily expecting it to happen in the actual body of the film. Could make for a great credits scene, that way it doesn't necessarily have to be spelled out for everybody (since credit scenes usually have very little context) and it would get people who haven't seen the show to go back and watch both seasons.

As for Hydra, they're certainly going to have some connection to Pietro and Wanda. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe AoS S2 will shed some light on that matter.

The Congress (2014)

A genuinely visionary work of science fiction that will, naturally, go criminally unseen for the challenging complexity of its ideas and visuals (the animation is done no favors by the cheap-looking still shots released -- ignore them, it's incredibly work), with moments of astonishing brilliance that are breathtaking in their power and scope. The film's shifts from amusing Hollywood satire in its first act, to an indescribable surrealist feast of animation in its second, to a distant, dystopian live action third act, before cycling through them all again for its epilogue, are a narrative trainwreck waiting to happen which miraculously, thrillingly never goes off the rails.

8/10

I enjoy the movie and all, but f**k me, the pacing is excruciating. Sorry Sly, but Statham's relationship issues aren't as interesting as you think they are. Good flick, otherwise.

Oh, and wish these movies would man the f**k up and actually kill off established characters for once, instead of pussying out because of the fanbase or whatever.

Mario Bava's Black Sabbath (1963)

Mario Bava and Boris Karloff team up to present a devilishly entertaining, campy and very stylish trio of short horror films.

The first - The Telephone 8/10. A short, sexy and very tense lil' thriller. (that i suspect was quite inspirational for Brian De Palma) Inside her apartment, a young woman receives a terrifying phone call from an anonymous man, who claims to see and know everything going on inside her apartment. He informs her that she has no way of escaping him.. and he promises her that she'll be dead by dawn.... There's a rather lovely twist in this. :)

2nd - The Wurdulak - 8/10. A solid, wonderfully gloomy tale of vampires and doomed families in medieval europe. Guillermo Del Toro's tv series The Strain completely steals one of this short flick's creepiest sequences. The supernatural and really evocative cinematography reminds me of Kwaidan (a film that came out in 1964, and is also an anthology of horror shorts. In a way, Black Sabbath feels like Kwaidan's european sister film.)

3rd. - The Drop of Water - 7/10. A neat story about a nurse that steals from a dead body... with horrible consequences.

Karloff shows up at the end and bids adieu to the audience, and demands us to "dream" about him. The camera pans back and we are suddenly in one of the film's sets, were the crew does a very silly celebratory dance. :laugh:

Lovely, solid short films. :) Do recommend.

This would be a very good double feature alongside Kwaidan. :)

The Double (2014)

A retro-fetishist refashioning of Brazil and Eraserhead, and the second highly stylized Male Anxiety Manifesting As Malevolent Doppelganger film this year. Ayoade's style trumps Villeneuve's Enemy at every turn, however, derivative though they both may be.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Loved it. The main team dynamic was fantastic, the humor was all great (Kevin Bacon ;D), and the whole thing had an infectious sense of fun. And I didn't think the villains were that bad. At least Ronan had something resembling motivation (*cough* Malekith) and didn't get upstaged by the goofy incompetent white guy (*cough* Whiplash) for half the movie, and he's not f**king Loki for once. :P

All that being said, I would have liked more time with Ronan and Nebula, since I like Lee Pace a hell of a lot and, well, it's obvious with Nebula. :-* Oh, and they kind of brushed off the whole "interstellar war" thing. Like, I didn't even know the Novas were an empire before this. I thought they were Space Cops like GL Corps. And why exactly did they have it out for the Kree? And why did Ronan steal one of the Mandarin's lines? :laugh:

But yeah, I loved the movie overall.

The Wages of Fear

This film doesnt give a flying f**k whether you "like" it's characters or not. What it does care about, though... is making it's leads "interesting" as all hell. Indeed, every single character in the film is flawed and is either annoying, cowardly, racist, xenophobic, misoginous, stupid... one is even a probable psychopath.. etc. etc.... And every single character is written with tremendous attention to detail and psychological realism. This is a f**king masterpiece and a great lesson on how to write characters with true "depth".

The first half meticulously details the characters, motivations, their relationships and their despair at being out of work.
The second half is all about pure tension (with great setpieces!) as the four leads find a way out of their despair..... by having to take a suicidal job. Driving two trucks loaded with nitroglicerine through long streches of treacherous terrain, where every single bump and turn could very well lead them into their deaths. ..and it IS nail-biting as f**k.

It's in the second half that a surprising thing happens... as the characters fall into despair and truly hit rock bottom.. their frailties made them endearing to me... and i couldnt help but root for these poor very very flawed devils.

It's not among his best work at all, like his last several films. It's very dull. And there's an increasingly uncomfortable sugar coating of the "hero", who was responsible for creating planes the Japanese used in WWII, often as kamikazes. The moral of the film is "Sometimes the stuff you make gets used for bad things, but that shouldn't stop you from reaching for your dreams and making them anyway!", which wouldn't be too bad if the characters saying it showed any remorse as the planes they've manufactured go down in flames and kill people.

A Most Wanted Man

I really enjoyed it, a nice sign off for Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and the rest of the cast do a decent job, Corbins direction could have been a little tighter.
It's more a character piece on Hoffmans character Gunter, but it does raise so great questions on morality.

To the film's credit, I did like Splinter. And the turtles were okay. What impressed me the most was the genetically engineered human question mark. Or it could have been Megan Fox. It was hard to tell the difference.

Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010)

A cinematic mixtape comprised entirely of second-hand scenes and aesthetics from 70s and 80s genre works: the sets are from THX-1138, Dark Star and 2001, the score is a moody, MOOG-y approximation of John Carpenter and Wendy Carlos, the scene where a character removes his hairpiece and human contact lenses is from The Man Who Fell to Earth, the central trippy hallucination sequence is Altered States, the psychic girl crushing someone's head with her mind is from The Fury, and the Sentionauts are Daft Punk. The plot is wafer thin and barely existent, and while the visuals are arresting, the whole thing is really just a 20 minute short film that has quite literally been stretched out to feature length by slowing the frame rate of every shot and scene, and delivering what few lines of dialogue there are in....the....most....drawn....out...fashion....possible....

4/10

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)

The delightfully salty heroine of the title opens an Egyptian tomb, outwits bad guys before outrunning a fireball, escapes underwater in a sarcophagus, and returns to London to fly a pterodactyl to a prison break so she can rescue a famed professor and raise the mummy of King Ramses II to save her brain dead sister, victim of a tennis game gone wrong. It's bonkers and silly and fun in the way American comic book movies never are, and leads into a shameless sequel hook that gets by on sheer audacity (hint: Luc Besson might get his shot to one-up James Cameron) -- after four years it doesn't look like a follow up will get made, but one can dream.

Eyes Without a Face (1960)

The template for Almodovar's late career masterpiece The Skin I Live In, and an obvious influence on Teshigahara's The Face of Another (complete with a sinister waltz in the score), this still potent Gothic horror more than holds its own against its estimable descendants, filled with unforgettable images (chief amongst them the tragic, disturbing figure of Christiane, with her featureless mask and high collared housecoat) and potent, visceral shocks so graphic it seems unfeasible they could have surfaced in 1960.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)



The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Perhaps the most underappreciated film of the MCU, seeing as how Norton never went on to star in The Avengers and it's the only film that didn't get an art book. Nevertheless, I enjoy it a lot. The casting is really good. Norton, Tyler, Hurt and Roth are all perfect in their roles. Bruce and Betty make a nice team in this and it's a shame we never got to see them interact with the other Marvel characters. Also, I can't help but feel that the Hulk throwing rocks at the thunder and lightning was simply him warming up for his fight against Thor. :D

As for the design of the Hulk, I'm a bit torn on which one I like the most - this one or the one in The Avengers. While the overall look and size of the character was better in The Avengers, I do like the fierceness of this and I simply love the green glow to the eyes. Makes him look a lot meaner and a lot angrier.

Sags a bit in the middle but it's great fun overall. Inventive, exciting and with tons of charismatic characters and memorable situations. Damn near perfect.

I'm not sure I'd call it my favourite, but it's definitely up there.

One thing that bugged me, though, was the whole subplot with the men on motorcycles looking for her. Didn't really seem to go anywhere or serve a purpose; seemed a tad pointless. Those shots of the motorcycles speeding around Scotland, beautiful though they were, could have been cut.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

It showed they were hunting for her, and leads the audience to think they're going to be the ones to catch and kill her, like they did her predecessor at the beginning.

I don't know, it definitely set me in a state of tense unease for the rest of the film. The whole time she was with that guy, I was just expecting them to close in on her at any moment, and I thought the shots that seemed to imply that were really well done. Coulda just been the one dude though.

Yeah Ive already seen it, a while ago. f**k man that movie was so shithouse.

The credits sequence looked like it had more effort and tone than the actual film, thats how bad it is.





You're so damn right, I don't see why the director didn't just do a documentary on that.

Ah, didn't catch onto who that person was at the start. Thought it was just a woman. I did get that they were hunting her; still seems kinda pointless in the film.

I didn't find it pointless at all. In fact it made me feel that they might catch up to her. There's a shot in the beginning of the film where one of them collects the body of an alien whose mission has failed.

Spoiler
But she ends up experiencing a fate that is more disturbing and more cruel.

Dario Argento's Phenomena

It's perfectly normal for insects to be slightly telepatical./10

:laugh:

Saw this yesterday, posting "review" now. :P
Remember the italian-american film The Voyager? This film is just as insane.... but more entertaining (for me at least, your mileage may vary). Jenniffer Connely stars as Jenniffer Corvino, daughter of a famous actor... and also a sleepwalking telepath who can communicate with insects. Jenny (from the block) has just transferred to a boarding school in the Swiss alps.. a place that just so happens to be under the grip of a misoginous killer that preys exclusively on young girls. Argento's cheesy and goofball sense of humour and style is in full swing here, with sidekick chimps, tiny insects literally lusting after Jenniffer Connely, tacky as f**k original soundtrack choices.. and cool as f**k licensed tunes by Motorhead and Iron Maiden! Some bits drag on and on.. but Argento quickly makes up for them with out of nowhere crazy shit. :laugh: Overall, it's not Argento's "best" but it's still pretty damn entertaining. Deep Red and The Bird with the Crystal Plummage are still my favourites. Suspiria and Inferno lagging right behind.

Sadly, there have been bits of dialogue in english that have been lost to time and in the blu-ray release, those bits of dialogue use the Italian dub voice actors instead. It's annoying. As is usual with a lot of italian film productions, the dubbing in general is pretty terrible.. but it all adds up somehow to the "cheesy" fun feel. Your mileage may vary, venture at your own risk...

Fifth Element is probably the closest we'll ever get to a film adaptation of The Incal comics.

Speaking of diodes. I havent read his "Megalex" and Technopriests comics yet... :P hmm.

Favourite Luc Besson flick so far was The Big Blue... but that one's very much "take it or leave it". It's a bit overly sentimental... but the weirdness and almost fairy tale like darkness in the ending sort of makes up for it. :P It's also pretty fun for most part.

The Big Blue is fantastic. Besson make a string of movies - all of them considered classics today, until recently when he got swallowed up by the new wave of French fun action cinema. The Fifth Element, Leon, Nikita, Subway and The Big Blue are must-see films imo.

The Messenger is on my list of French movies-to-watch in the very near future.

Coherence (2014)

An interesting idea but I find the characters annoying and this is a film that requires you to be invested in the characters. This is through no fault of the cast; the acting is solid. But.it doesn't help if you only care for one of the characters. The group dynamic is meant to be important. The sci-fi element is solid but the exposition is a tad too much and the ending could have been a lot stronger.

There are worse ways to spend your time and it certainly requires your attention but it doesn't do much to hold it. I almost wish the film was reattempted with a few tweaks and an alternate ending.

6.5/10

I saw it when it opened in theaters looong ago. Can't remember much other than I thought it looked good, great production values etc, but something felt really off about Milla Jovovich in that role. But wasn't she Luc Besson's girlfriend at the time, so... yeah. That pseudo-psychological mumbo-jumbo in the third act didn't sit well with me either.

I'll see how the film works for me now.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Okay so I'm probably in the minority.  I enjoyed it.  It had it's flaws but overall it was okay.  It certainly wasn't the train wreck I was expecting and having such low expectations probably helped me to enjoy it more than I thought I would.  Negative points, Megan Fox (how she is an actress still escapes me)  I didn't like the design of Shredder or the liberties taken with the Foot Clan.  Positives, they got the main part right, the Turtles, I liked all of them, I liked the way they were written, I thought they got each character right and I even liked their design.  The action scenes were pretty awesome, the effects looked great.  It's not the Turtles movie I'd hoped for, but it definitely wasn't the train wreck I expected.  And it's been a long time since I last enjoyed something with Michael Bay's name attached to it

The Expendables 3 (2014)

This was fairly enjoyable. Unfortunately it doesn't reach the level that the second film in the series reached. Which in my opinion is the franchise's high point. If you're a fan of the films, then there's no reason why one wouldn't enjoy this one. It has the action, acting (if you could call it that...) and the winks at the audience that the films are known for. However I didn't really like the 'new' team. Or better yet, the 'younger' team. It's one thing to watch Stallone and Lundgren save the day and take out the bad guys but seeing a bunch of people I have no real association with left me a bit indifferent. Mel Gibson was pretty good. However he's no Van Damme. The final act between Stallone and Gibson was disappointingly short.

For all their skills, this one was a slight misfire.

Boyhood

Quite possibly the best coming of age movie I've seen; or at least, the one that feels most applicable and personal to me. Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, it follows Mason Evans from the age of 6 in first grade through 18 and heading to college. My age was only off by one year over the period the film takes place. It really spoke to me, bringing back memories of ages past that I hadn't thought of in... well, in years.

Truly fantastic, and one of the most unique and original movies I've seen in a long time. Maybe my favourite film of the year.

Greatest wire-fu film ever made. Always enjoy watching this moving art piece, fight scenes are always just captivating and the battle in the trees with Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung is excellent, love how the forest and falling leaves turn to red as she falls.

Great chinese film and always a favorite.

Not bad, effects are good. Kinda like the first one with a splash of Mad Max with the car-truck chase in the outback lol.

Nymphomaniac: Volume 2

These two movies...they were interesting in a weird f**king way. That's all I can really say about them. The dick shots became too much. It got to the point where I was like, "Stop it with the dicks!" The plot line with the chick and the "asexual" old dude was alright. (Can't really remember their names as I was hitting the sauce last night.) This movie was okay. I'll definitely Never go out of my way to watch it again. Not my type of movie. I just feel like Von Trier was relying too heavily on the shock value of it all.

I have to strongly disagree with you on Von Trier relying on shock value. Just because it's not playing out like a generic blockbuster and there's some nudity, doesn't mean he's trying to shock people. He handled the sex addiction topic better than Shame did (even though that was a good film).

Melancholia is the only "mainstream-friendly" film I can think of, from Von Trier. But even that is not exactly everyone's cup of tea.

I put Melancholia on for my family and this was their reaction when the credits came up:

Oh you're so witty man. There's no way anyone else could ever come up with that joke. Like, ever.

Look, whatever man. The fact is that I'd much rather observe the female anatomy than the male anatomy. I don't even care. Man.

That's a-okay for you, bro. But I do not like to look at dicks. I didn't fault the movie as a whole for it. My 5.5/10 is my personal opinion.

And some movies are made for straight males.  :D

Then don't look at them. I mean you look at your dick on a daily basis.

I was, actually. I'd peek to see if it was over but they were there for what felt like five minutes.

Not my favorite of the trilogy, but definitely great for what it is. It's kind of funny how the plot hinges on the villain giving the shittiest description ever. :laugh: And whoever did the subtitles mistranslated a lot of the profanity, from what I could make out. :laugh:

I have an incredibly hard time giving a crap about basically everything that happens in this movie. It tries so hard to be "big," but the whole thing just winds up getting a resounding meh from me. Johnny Depp and Mickey Rourke were pretty tight, though.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

Maybe 9 years ago this kind of thing was cool and different. Now it's almost satirical and utterly hilarious in nature. I am not sure if Rodriguez is trying to be serious or not with this one. Everybody is outrageously over the top and the melodrama is almost soap opera material. Josh Brolin is the only one who seems to be taking it seriously. I dunno, maybe everyone was in on the joke but him.

Best part was the Hateful Eight teaser before the film.

This film had a wonderful double plot twist... Insane... and actually made sense plot wise (sort of).

Playing on the characters point of view.... and ours. Fulci, you son of a bitch.

It's also even trashier than Zombi 2.  :laugh:

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

It was okay for me, nothing. And it's not because the novelty wore off or anything like that. The visual style is still intriguing, and the stories themselves were mostly good. The problem is that the thing is really clumsily structured and edited. The film moves along pretty nicely for a while, but then Joseph Gordon-Levitt's story abruptly breaks off, and the movie shifts gears to the title story.

Speaking of which, A Dame to Kill For was actually my favorite story from the comics, and for the most part, they get it right. Brolin and Green were both great in it, and it eas fairly faithful overall. However, parts from the original comic were axed, and it feels like they were either sloppily edited or written out. The subplot with the two cops felt like it suffered from that the most. And some of the changes just bugged me, like dumping Miho's curb-stomping of Manute. A lot of things happned too quickly, as well. Dwight beating a man to death with his bare hands should last longer than fifteen seconds or less. Clive Owen was also sorely missed in the last several minutes.

And now we get to Jessica Alba's story. First off, a small part of it is annoyingly inserted into JGL's segment, and his story's ending is tacked onto the beginning of her story, which makes the whole thing feel disjointed. Surprisingly enough though, Jessica Alba actually did a decent job at playing the gritty, depressed and vengeance driven version of Nancy. It's all let down by the premise, which is thin even by Sin City standards. It's supposedly based on an unfinished story Frank Miller started writing years ago and dropped, and it feels like he just threw a first draft up on screen with a tacked on ending he cooked u at the last minute. Oh, and the quasi-supernatural angle it went for in places was just dumb and out of place. The presence of Marv pretty much f**ks the timeline, too. Thanks, Miller. ::)

Other positives? Powers Booth was f**king beast as usual, as was Mickey Rourke, even if his makeup wasn't up to snuff this time. I f**king lol'd when it showed framed pictures of Yellow Bastard in Senator Roark's mansion, and um, the intro with Marv beating the shit of some obnoxious fratboy dudebros was pretty awesome, and had the best uses of the 3D. I also loved seeing Christopher Lloyd pop up playing a character from the comics I totally wasn't expecting to see.

Overall, though, it was merely okay, when it could have been much better.

I was mildly entertained in the theater (mostly because the Rock is just pretty charismatic, and he seemed to be having a lot of fun in the role), but I really have no intentions of ever seeing it again.

I was disappointed that they shied away from the more mythological elements.

I was kind of really greatly pissed off that the Hydra and Boar from the trailers amounted to about two minutes of screentime in the beginning. Then the narrator kicks in and you can already smell what comes next.

It's the point of the movie. It plays against expectations. It's stupid and what's good is that it knows it is, so the characters act "over the top" badass all the time, there's cracking jokes everywhere.

This isn't something that wants to speak to you on any other level than "Ayyyy I'm a funny badass, watch me being a funny badass!" That's all it does and does it quite fine actually.

I am still waiting about a proper Heracles film. This isn't it, but never did it try to be.

Leviathan (1989)

If you were to take John Carpenter's The Thing and combine it with Alien, the end result would be 1989's Leviathan. The movie shamelessly rips off both movies and these are not little pieces they're stealing here and there but wholesale plot points. Such as the 'company' the miners work for. The underwater base of operations looks very much like the Nostromo from Alien; and the creature's ability to assimilate members of the crew is direct from The Thing. For all its plagiarizing, it turns out to be a pretty fun movie. The cast of characters was pretty good. I liked both Ernie Hudson and Richard Crenna. However the ending was a bit shit, and Hudson's character went out like a bitch. Also this wasn't Stan Winston's finest hour.

The production wasn't all that linear, really. They changed the way the scenes would be shot and they edited things out and in and in the end, what they spent the most money on (the final fish thing) was used basically almost never whereas some things precedently intended for the cutting room floor were somehow left in. So, yeah. Also consider that it was filmed in Italy and for the most part there was scarcity for resources.

3/10

After years of wanting to see this movie, and really thinking it might be something special, I was left utterly disappointed. This movie has one of the absolute worst slow build ups I have ever seen. Nothing of interest even happens before they even show the Alien, so by the time that you do see it you don't even care. None of the characters were interesting, and I have to blame the terrible build up. Nothing good happens for a huge amount of time, so any small twists or anything that MIGHT have been interesting aren't. I was so numb by the boredom that when the alien finally appeared, I didn't care. I honestly felt like I was attacked by the disc-shaped parasites that the Alien used as weapon in this movie. I really felt like I was having the life sucked out of me.

I also need to comment on something I have been hearing for years. Any comparisons made to Predator are without merit. Nothing from this movie was like Predator at all. I fail to see the comparison that other movies don't already due by sheer necessity.

Post by: Cvalda on Aug 25, 2014, 12:15:14 AM
Leviathan has a good Goldsmith score and not much else.

Without Warning (1980)

Dull, plodding drive-in schlock with a good premise (predating Predator) and enjoyably nasty gore effects, but is overlong by twenty minutes (or more) and the direction is amateurish. A rare example of a cult horror film that would actually benefit from a competent remake.

Yup. It's supposed to start about an hour before The Raid 2 ends, so I guess the Japanese are going to play a big role in it.

Though it might be a little while before it comes out. I think I heard that Evans wants to make a couple other films before tackling the third Raid movie.

But yeah, easily one of the best movies of the year. Evans should team with the other Gareth and have Iko Uwais play Jet Jaguar in a Godzilla sequel. 8) Oh, and I'm hyped for his actual upcoming projects, too. ;D

I prefer this to the latest Captain America flick (the last comic booky flick i saw). That one was decent.. but not as strong as the hype suggested. That film's "power" came from the plot twists and their surprise factor... and not really from the character arcs... wich were quite weak for a film populated with lots of cool, interesting comic characters and good actors... eh

However this X-MONZ's powah comes from really strong character's with interesting arcs of triumph. So, Vive la France!

Also, props for having the "save the world plot!" hinge on changing the mind of a character.. instead of killing a bad guy or stopping a bomb from exploding or stopping the macguffin from falling in the wrong hands or.. you get the idea.

Interesting that the Days of Future Past comic book came out before James Cameron's first Terminator flick... anybody think he was inspired by it?

Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Split screen! PG-rated lesbian orgies! Cross-dressing! Obligatory Hitchcock references! Brian De Palma's horror rock cult musical is an inspired, manic mish-mash of Phantom of the Opera, Faust, references to Psycho and Frankenstein, and has some eerie parallels with The Rocky Horror Picture Show during the opening night of the Paradise sequence.

8/10

Great movie. Not a patch on the original, but great in its own right. Kinski is a beast as usual, and Herzog's feel for atmosphere really makes it stand out. The dark humor/satire is pretty fun as well. "The police don't exist anymore!" :laugh:

Sword in the Moon

one of my favorite fun martial art/sword action films to watch. Has hot assassin girl, badass protag with his hat and long hair and all. Action is great and the story is a good tale,classic friend against friend and revenge.

Good shit.

The November Man (2014)

It seems like Pierce Brosnan isn't quite done in the spy genre yet. I really enjoyed this. The plot gets a little muddled as the larger conspiracy begins to unfold and the relationship between Deveraux and Mason doesn't feel all that believable but it's a fun little thriller which has Brosnan wearing nice suits whilst gunning down countless CIA agents. That's the thing about this movie; both leads don't live in worlds of black and white but a world of grey. They carry out various acts of violence which doesn't necessarily have you rooting for them from time to time. There's one scene in particular between Deveraux and Mason's next door neighbor which left me scratching my head.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I liked this more than Guardians of the Galaxy, honestly, but saying things like "It's the best Marvel movie yet" doesn't mean much seeing as they're all pretty samey and almost-good.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Suffers from exactly the same lack of focus that makes the first one a swing and a miss. Fox chewing scenery was fun, though.

Basically, they're both comically belated sequels that aren't anywhere near as good as their predecessors, but are still worth seeing just for certain cast members clearly having a ball (Joe Bologna & Richard Lynch - Eva Green & Powers Boothe).

Although Alligator II didn't have anyone wearing creepy Clive Owen makeup.

It's tough trying to follow two great installments, but I think the comedy in it overall was subpar tbh.



Long live Shaun of the Dead.

Probably the second best comedy of 2013, behind This is the End.

Get out. I couldn't make of through 20 minutes of that shit.

The Innkeepers

Interesting little horror movie, bit of a slow burner and the two main characters are irritating as shit but the horror parts were really well done, next on my list, Calvaire

Catching Fire is even better, in my opinion, and the Capitol and the outfits are even grander. :)

You haven't seen any of them? Though it is not usually considered the best of the bunch, The Wolf Man was always my favorite from Universal's classic slate growing up. That's probably the one I've seen the most times.

I think I'm going to watch Nosferatu next. Still haven't seen that in full. Anyone see Shadow of the Vampire? I'm interested in checking that one out after Nosferatu.

Shadow of the Vampire is good, yeah. Herzog's Nosferatu is better than the original. Gonna be giving it a rewatch tomorrow on Blu-ray ;D

The best classic Universal Monster movies are Bride of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man. Dat James Whale.

Though Val Lewton's rival RKO horror pictures crush all of them.

Todd Browning Dracula is dull and stagy. Frankenstein is good, but the sequel is superior. I have the Universal Blu-ray set and still havent rewatched The Wolf Man (it's a bit crap, really) and the color Phantom of the Opera remake just looks awful.

Creature From the Black Lagoon is fun.

I still have all four of them (though my Dracula doesn't have a cape, and none of them have their accessories).

Pain & Gain (2013)

This is not real, this is fantasy. Michael Bay's fantasy where everyone is supermodel hot and drives fancy sports cars. Truth be told, this is based on a true story about a couple of dumb f**ks who kidnap a millionaire and try to extort his money. Let it said, that I had a ball watching this movie. Yes, that's right, a film to which Michael Bay entertained me. The joy comes from watching these moronic characters get themselves into these odd-ball situations. The chemistry between Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie and Dwayne Johnson was great. The scene when they're trying to dispose of the bodies was hilariously dumb; in a good way. Also who in their right f**king mind would cook severed hands on a grill? :laugh:

It's one of the few endings of that type that I actually like. Probably the only one, actually. It doesn't feel like a cheap arse-pull and it doesn't feel like it's there just to be clever, or set up a sequel, or as a lame attempt at a shock. The whole ending is gloriously bleak without trying to suffocate the audience with the fact.

It's my favourite Herzog movie, followed very closely by Aguirre.

I was on a cousin's house for a few days... we caught up with a few "flicks" that we missed from previous years.

Oblivion

f**k you, Sally/10

Very very enjoyable and quite solid bit of cheesy blockbuster scifi. If you think about the logic behind the (alien plot)... things get wobbly... The film does try to be truly surprising.. but it signals its punches a bit too soon.. and the surprise effect loses impact for folks that know their scifi tropes pretty well. ..but it's nowhere near as dumb or as disjointed as Prometheus.. wich is funny.. considering that it has a smaller rating on Rottentomatoes.... at least this film has a solid tone to it... and there's no adventures into dumb buddy weed flick. ... and it's also a lot better designed. This film has some amazing holy f**k scifi scenery porn. Truly elegant and beautiful architecture and ships.... The only "dislike" was.. the interior of the TET ship.

The Raid
HIIIIYAHHHH/10

Holy f**k. Incredibly choreographed action film. Cant wait to check out the sequel. :)

Apocalypto

Being a victim of a Mayan sacrifice sucks ass/10

Uncomfortable, ballsy bit of filmmaking by Mel Gibson... nowhere near as shit as Passion of the Christ.. and definitely a lot more interesting than Braveheart and its cheesy "blockbuster"isms. There's an incredible f**kinhellwtf "deus ex machina" in this. (wich i think was lifted straight from an old TINTIN comic book!).. but it all ends up being so entertaining... that.. ah f**k it. Didnt mind it. There's a lack of elegance to the way that Gibson handles the directing and framing... but he does "well enough" and he knows how to place the audience "within" one of the darkest periods of the Mayan civilization... the silly amount of insane things that contribute to the tension onscreen reminded me of some Brian de Palma stuff... (pregnant wife in peril of being drowned! Now she has to give birth! Her husband is escaping from hunters!.. but now he runs into a jaguar! And now the.... etc. etc.)

Thor 2: Dark World

Mew Mew!/10

Rocky Horror Picture Show homage scene ftw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InfGYdGtc-0# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InfGYdGtc-0#)

One of the weakest Marvel flicks so far.... the villains had an interesting bizarro scifi elf design with cool ships though. Nothing interesting elsewhere, though. Easy skip.

..oh and 47 Ronin

lol/10

...Never before has a film so expensive.. looked so cheap. Pure scheisse. lolz. Rinko Kikuchi pulls a neat CAMPY AS f**k performance as an evil shapeshifting witch... couldnt care about anything else. Even the fights themselves were unmemorable.

Aye, Oblivion was quite good. It had its problems, definitely, but overall I was a fan; loved the look of it too. I think when I first saw it I described it as an overblown Moon meets The Terminator filtered through Tron: Legacy. :D

Dredd and The Raid have similar premises (cops fight their way through floor after floor of generic baddies to get to the big bad on the top floor running a drug operation and have to deal with some corrupt cops along the way), but the way they go about executing it is different enough to not really warrant an comparison beyond what's on the surface.

Dredd is a lovingly shlocky, Carpenter-esque film with with a lot of splatter gore, a fantastic visual style, and some really great world-building (despite being isolated in a single building). The Raid is much more dialed back in terms of eccentric style, but it shines in its exceptionally well choreographed and executed fight sequences. Every single punch and kick and fall looks and feels like it hurts, and there are some really wonderful tracking movements with the camera that let you watch multiple fights, without any cuts or edits, play out in all of their violent glory.

Why compare when you can have them both?

The Guest

This was not a planned cinema trip... and I'm not entirely sure if it was the ice cool cinematography and synth score that both drip with 80s reverence, its devoted use of practical blood squibs, or the way it seamlessly morphs from black comedy thriller to the f**king Terminator, but for whatever reason I have not felt this passionately impregnated by a film since Drive.

Wingard and Barrett, you guys keep doing what you do.

Yeeeeeeeee

Damn good flick. One of my top ten faves.

Blow Out

Good Scream.... it's a good scream/10

A damn fine, intense thriller with a dark as f**k ending.

The only problem i had with it is that, during a really dramatic scene towards the end..... Travolta just looks like he smelled his own fart. He's really good everywhere else in the flick, though. lol.

Cobra Verde (1987)

The evil twin of Fitzcarraldo: Kinski's titular bandit takes up a job with José Lewgoy's sugar cane baron, impregnates his three mixed-race daughters, and is sent off to Africa as punishment to re-open the slave trade, eventually leading a vast army of Amazon warrior women to depose the corrupt native king. Herzog and Kinski at their most ferocious and unhinged.

It is. It has a reputation of being very "love it or hate it", so I didn't know what to expect, but I was very impressed.

It would probably be a lot more well regarded if it had ever received a US theatrical release.

Uwe Boll literally spent an entire scene and a half ranting about his political and moral views and so much more,  that he even filmed himself agreeing with the character of the film who was saying such views that Uwe Boll no doubt f**king put into his mouth in the first place.

Hahahahaha!

Was it like a break in the action and the main guy's giving a speech, and all of a sudden Uwe just magically appears and starts nodding and saying "yes I agree continue"?

More or less. He plays the producer at the TV station that the guy takes over. The guy's rant video is played live on TV, and goes on and on about how everything sucks, how every politician is paid off, how Assange and Snowden are saints for the modern world, how there is no God, and how we should all go out and murder rich people. It then shows Boll watching it and saying, "This man is exactly right."

It's possible this had too many characters, but it really needs them since I don't think five consecutive minutes ever pass by without Statham murdering enough Asian or Eastern European people to make the streets of New York run red with the blood of nameless henchmen.

And Chris Sarandon is looking very John Turturro-esque these days.

Crap, but better than the second or third that's for sure. Also Grimlock gets the power metal stamp of approval for his design alone. Hypest part to be honest.

I just don't understand why they need to have boring human characters or big name actors as a selling point. IT'S BASED ON GIANT ALIEN ROBOTS. Even if someone didn't love the show or the toys as a kid, it's still a better selling point then A list actors having screen time.

Iconic Bond film. Great soundtrack by John Barry. Devilishly entertaining all the way through.

Bond girl Tatiana isnt up to the standard of later day Vesper Lynd or even Camille Montes. Her relationship with Bond mostly consists of 007 "checking the goods" and slaping her ass every now and then. Typical machismo of the era. :P

The remake (or should I say newer adaptation) of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has beautiful cinematography, is more expensive looking than the Swedish trilogy, and everyone fits their roles wonderfully but it just feels disappointing knowing that there won't be any sequels made. And, ultimately, the ending of the 2011 film feels unsatisfying.

People praise the japanese cuts like they're some sort of holy grail compared to the us dubs. Truth is, no, they're not. The only thing they've got going for them is the absence of absurd and abstruse things such as "banana oil" and "like crap through a goose". For the rest, no -- there is no sudden jump in quality. At worst, the american dubs have bizarrely translated lines.

The only real exception to this are the "bloated" american versions of the original film and the 1984 one. That is where the original versions are superior and there is a palpable, concrete difference in the narrative.

Ah crap, I don't think I can even ironically recommend this. There are a couple of good fights and Statham is flawless as ever, but after a promising start this nosedives into a 90 minute sightseeing tour of Miami that no amount of gratuitous J-Lo underwear scenes can salvage. 

And it was, like, over an HOUR before Jason killed anyone.

They both have similar 'honour among thieves' moral codes, but I think Statham's Parker is more compassionate than Gibson's Porter.

Especially if we take the director's cut of Payback into account.

The Black Hole

I remember kinda digging this as a kid, because spaceships, robots and lasers.  But also thinking it was a bit lame.

Watching it again after 30 odd years.  It IS a bit lame.  First 40 to 50 minutes is pretty decent.  Some of the effects work is cool; some is dated as, with obvious colour differences between set and matte painting.  Main theme music is cool.  It has something of a dark edge (particularly for Disney).  Maximillian is still quite an effective presence, made all the more menacing by the fact he doesn't speak.

But once Reinhardt actually decides to fly into the black hole it all goes a bit stupid - primarily because of the meteor storm that just come out of nowhere for the sole purpose of causing havoc.  Then they try to be psuedo-2001 and laws of science which they tried to adhere to earlier are forgotten about entirely.

Apparently Spaihts was writing a remake, which could be interesting.

The Signal (2014)

Some great shots, really tries to be unconventional in it's storytelling but it's way too plot driven, with a lame payoff that a pleb could see coming, I'd call it Blomkamp lite without the endearing elements or humour or panache, and a little too art schooly, perfumey ad styling.

That said you could watch worse.

Godzilla 2014

If I was on board the hype train I'd probably feel more negatively, not too negative but disappointed nonetheless, but I saw it with my own lowered expectations and I enjoyed it. Some things I didn't expect and defied one or two predictions of mine, and I suppose that's a good thing in this case.

X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963)

Maybe the most sophisticated and effective of all the "tampering in God's domain" Mad Scientist golden era B-movies, even flirting with Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and with surprisingly intelligent, taut direction from Roger Corman.

8.5/10

Christopher Lee is a beast as Dracula, and Cushing is awesome as usual. The movie is perhaps a bit too short, though, and the score has roughly two modes: "dark and ominous" and "hyperactive OMG FAST." Still a damn fine movie, though. It's too bad roughly 90% of the sequels are either dull or unwatchably bad.

Death Proof is great. The climactic car chase was exhilarating in the cinema.

Everyone probably has a different opinion on Tarantino. Personally, I think Jackie Brown and Django Unchained are by far his worst movies, and KBv2 is up there with Pulp Fiction as his best.

I think that there is no doubt the second Kill Bill is better written and acted than KBV1, but give me Volume 1 all day everyday over Volume 2. 



I actually thought DeathProof was a million times better than PlanetTerror.  Only weakness is the first trio of characters were much better than the second trio in terms of dialogue and character.  The second half of deathproof with them pre car chase is pretty meh.

Yep. V. 1 is just so much fun. It's a better group movie than 2, but from a critical standpoint, 2 is certainly better.

Chuck Norris kicking terrorist ass in the most cheesy way possible.


CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.

There is even a shot where Chuck is silhouetted against the sun on a dirtbike (with rocket launchers) and then the next shot is a close up of Chucks eyes.

In that shot, I knew, I knew I was watching cinematic treasure because Chuck telepathically told me I was.

A Walk Among the Tombstones

This was good, like really good. Liam Neeson plays a former NYPD police officer turned private investigator. This was something a little different. More of a slow burn detective story but when the action picks up, it's fast and violent. The opening flashback scene pretty much sets the tone. And Dan Steven's eyes are so dreamy.

Tango and Cash

Getting my 80's action movie kick on.

Its another cheezefest but it seems Sly and Russell had a good time making it.  I got the sense they were barely holding it together during the interrogation of Requin and at any second could have busted out into spontaneous laughter. 

Pretty average 80's actioner overall and the buddy team doesn't quite work as well as it does in movies like Lethal Weapon, but you could do worse.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Damned entertaining film. Probably the most socially relevant of all the MCU films to date. Had some issues with it, delved a little into cliché (especially in the third act), but overall, one of the most solid outings yet.

A sequel that feels very forced and lacks the charm and great humour of the original film. There were a handful of good moments but not enough to save an entire film. Also, mostly very boring.

Rebirth of Mothra II (1997)

Pandering, draggy children's movie hell.

4/10


Rebirth of Mothra III (1998)

Suffers from the same stilted, draggy editing as the two preceding entries, but this final film in the trilogy sports a weirdly somber, even epic tone that somewhat negates it, especially when the loopy fantasy grandeur of the plot kicks in as King Ghidorah begins abducting children to feast on their souls, causing Mothra to travel back in time and battle him in the distant past, populated by endearingly fake hand puppet-dinosaurs. It's impossible to understate just how much Toshiyuki Watanabe's gorgeous, moving score imbues this silly spectacle with a surprising emotional weight:

Dressed to Kill

7/10

One of the most visually perfect representations of a pretty dumb, offensive script. :laugh:

The first group of black men that show up in the film turn out to be rapists.
The killer? Well...
"what was wrong with him anyway?"
"He was a transexual."
lol "facepalm" Nothing offensive there. Oh jeez. :laugh:

The soundtrack is perfect and the actors all do their job well enough.
The murder in the elevator is ace and it's an utterly classic scene.. but the film doesnt reach those heights again.
The identity of the murderer is quite predictable too... terrible flaw for a whodunit.
But it was entertaining enough... very very well edited and shot. i sure dont regret watching it.

This film has actually got me pondering wether De Palma takes a lot of visual style cues from the italian Giallo genre (Mario Bava/Argento)... . and now i want to check out Argento's Bird with the crystal Plumage again.. (made 10 years before Dressed to Kill.. and with a similar elevator+KNIFE murder scene.)

I read that the only film of Argento that De Palma saw was Bird with the Crystal Plummage.

De Palma flicks remind me more of the giallo movement than Hitchcock actually..
the very vivid colours and gore + melodrama. :P

It may just be because Parker set the bar so goddamn low that even the Beast from 20,000 fathoms was able to use it as a chew toy, but I liked this. It's harmless DTV stuff with a few novel twists. Ryan Phillipe actually gets to act, Wesley Snipes is fun as the villain, and Statham's bizarro American (?) accent ultimately achieves sentience.

Mirage Men (2013)

Fascinating documentary centered on Richard Doty, a former government disinformation agent whose job it was to feed absurd stories to gullible UFO believers and obscure either top secret military aircraft and installation info, or the truth about aliens from outer space -- take your pick. As one of the true believers he duped attests, it's all "a fractured hall of mirrors with a quicksand floor", which proves to be true as Doty, whose creepy poker face and even toned speech only makes things more unnerving, admits to his history as a professional, government-backed liar, and then proceeds to spin more possible lies on camera, all the while with a vague gleam of amusement in his eyes.

A field in England

"The coward is here.. BANG!"/10

A very very weird, absurdist, funny and horrifying story of an 17th century english alchemist who forces four men to find a treasure for him in a field.. in england. duh.

Perfectly directed, very well acted by all.... the dialogue is so full of detail and reveals so much of the characters, it will take another viewing to absorb it all. I loved the films use of "tableau vivant" and the film suceeds in being truly stunning despite a low budget.

There's a couple of scenes here that i'll keep in my mind for a good while..
Very good and recommended.

7/10

It may not be the best interpretation of the character, but it's fun ass vigilante action flick in its own right. I watched the workprint version, and the added material is pretty good, but I prefer the slightly different ending in the original cut. Speaking of which, I still have no clue what the hell happened there, unless Frank could teleport and I just never noticed before. :laugh:

The Equalizer

Denzel plays ultra-serious Denzel, in this slow burn action thriller. This is nothing new here. It's one of those movies where the hero is always ten steps ahead of the bad guys and he dispatches them in amusing fashion. By the likes of a power drill, barbwire and a good old fashion nail gun.

The Cell

Haven't revisited this for ages... the visuals are spectacular, the soundtrack engrossing (you can clearly see how this paved the road for The Fall stylistically). Elements of the story itself though and casting Jennifer Lopez in the main role - a bit of a misfire. Neither am I a fan of the characterization of the films antagonist and how director Tarsem is almost tripping over himself to visualize some things that are entirely self-evident for anyone with a minimum of insight into criminal psychology.

A Walk Among the Tombstones

If you seen the movie yet, do not go into it expecting anything like Taken or Non Stop.  This is a slow burner, a real throw back to noir movies that I love.  I made a point of reading the book of the same name by Lawrence Block.  There are differences between the book and the film but overall the film was faithful to the tone and themes.  It's one of Neeson's best performances to date, and the villais are some of the creepiest I've ever seen on film.

I sense you're on an Anti-Hero kick with Scarface and the Punisher films. :laugh:

And now I'm torrenting the theatrical cut of the Lundgren film... :laugh:

It adds fifteen minutes to the beginning, showing Frank before shit goes bad. Gossett gets to say "Why do they call it organized crime, they're never on time."  :laugh: The ending is a bit crappier, though.

Spoiler
And it still doesn't explain how Frank got away at the end. Maybe he really did work for Batman. :laugh:

It's a full on NUNSPLOITATION melodrama. . :P Get ready for that.
Sadly, there are two actors in "black face" (one of wich plays a char. obviously supposed to be biracial)... but there are also lots of actual indian actors in this, particularly Sabu.. who is quite likeable as the General's son. (He was also in Michael Powell's The Thief of Bagdad.. as the titular character). I get the feeling Michael Powell tried to push as much of the "racial limit" as he could get away with... the script itself is very very respectful of the native population. (only the villainous sister ruth gets to utter racist shit.. .and KARMA gets her at the end.) :P

I need to see Michael Powell's Peeping Tom... i hear that's another masterpiece of his.

War

Stathamber climaxes with an exerted force equivalent to that of 10,000 headbutts delivered by the stubbly one himself... in what often feels like a rehash of Year of the Dragon (it even has the great John Lone playing a Triad boss), but with a LOT more twists.

It's a slow burn for the most part, largely consisting of Jet Li doing his silent-but-deadly Lethal Weapon 4 thing and Statham glowering at the fresh corpses of murder victims, but limbs are eventually separated from torsos and Jason redirects an axe into the sternum of one unfortunate Asian person.

A truly emotional experience.

Indeed. It's fantastic.

There's some 'connective tissue' to other masterpieces from the same era, such as William Wyler's The Collector,  Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-up and Coppola's The Conversation.

Must-watch films imo. :)

KILL (2008)

Cheapie action anthology featuring four mini-violence epics from four different directors, all centered around katana battles. The first three are stylish, fun parodies of action movie tropes, opening with Takanori Tsujimoto's revenge saga "Kiriko", which centers on an ingeniously ridiculous and amusing plot twist involving a female assassin hellbent on avenging the death of her little sister, which keeps escalating even beyond the bounds of its twenty minute runtime (it's the only one of the four that could have made a proper feature). Kenta Fukasaku's installment, a loving and clever send-up of old silent period samurai serials, transplants the usual samurai drama to a sixth-grade schoolyard, and almost single-handedly makes up for the abomination that was his Battle Royale II. Minoru Tahara's third installment centers on a demonically possessed katana that fuses with a rifle to wreak havoc in the present day -- that outlandish set up aside, it quickly becomes the most routine of the four. Mamoru Oshii's "Assault Girl 2" serves as the finale, and as is the case in general with his triptych of Assault Girl works, it's the slightest and least satisfying of the four, and worse still, the self-parody on display here isn't knowing like it is in the other two Assault Girl films.

The Equalizer (2014)

I liked it. I especially liked the quiet diner scenes with Denzel and Chloë. The two of them had good chemistry. I liked Denzel's portrayal of our main character as well. The quiet type. A warrior monk. Marton Csokas was a nice counterpart and an enjoyable villain. The confrontation at the end was pretty neat as well. Home Alone meets A Law Abiding Citizen. Some viewers have raised complaints over the fact that McCalll meets little to no resistance from his enemies. I can see what they mean. However, I liked that. I wanted to see him tear through the mob and that's what I got.

Some small complaints. The movie needed more Chloë. Some really old clichés could have been cut (walking away from an explosion in super slow motion) and I don't really liked the "zoom" thing they did when McCall went into killer mode. But overall, it was a fun film to watch.

I've actually never seen all of Dawn, so I'll definitely do that this month. :)

Not really reversed. Barbara actually becomes a character, though :P Romero wrote the script for the remake, too.

Huh, didn't know Romero wrote it. Sounds pretty interesting. I'll give it a go.

I saw a bit of the opening of Dawn so yeah, expecting a bit of camp. Not a problem, though. I find the premise to be extremely interesting, and I love the way Romero kind of reinterprets the zombie metaphor with the changing era.

Dracula (1931)

It was my first time watching this and I loved it. It was a masterpiece no doubt. Bela Lugosi, Dwight Frye and Edward Van Sloan killed it in their respective roles as Dracula, Renfield, and Van Helsing. The scene when Dracula and Van Helsing meet for the first time and the mirror comes into play was just fantastic. Loved that scene and the close ups of Dracula's rapey eyes.

The Wolfman Unrated Director's Cut

I wanted to like this a lot more than I ended up actually liking it, I think. I was immediately drawn in to the world that the film set up and found myself really hooked by the first act, but as the film continued it just seemed to get sloppier and sloppier. I found a lot of the character relationships and motivations to be sorely lacking, and the pacing to be really off. I also wasn't overly fond of the CGI transformations or werewolf running sequences, and the action and gore was so over-the-top that it was almost comical. One of the biggest things that turned me off was just how modern some of the technical aspects of the film felt. The editing (especially in the trippy dream sequences) and the ridiculous time-lapses of the moon felt out of place in what could have been a really focused period piece.

That's not to say I disliked everything about the film, though. The Wolfman design itself was fantastic, even if I wasn't completely sold on the transformations or the movement. I loved the overall look and feel of the film (when it wasn't beating me over-the-head with the strange editing), particularly prior to Talbot getting bitten at the gypsy camp. It had a really eerie, almost claustrophobic feel to it that drew me in, and I'm a sucker for period settings like this. I also loved Benicio del Toro as Talbot, despite the character himself being kind of wishy-washy. I would have loved to have seen him play this role with a tighter script.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the original, so I don't want to sound biased when I say this but I honestly prefer the original film. I was able to get more into Larry Talbot's character in that one; not necessarily that he was more relatable, but I found him to be a bit more, I don't know, in control. I love the way the original plays out where only he knows the truth of what he is, and found that by having everyone know when they knew in this interpretation made the film lose a lot of what the first had going for it. Granted, this one told a very different story that probably wouldn't have worked if it had stuck with what made the original work. I also much preferred the father/son confrontation at the end of the original. The bit the the '41 film where Larry gives his father the cane, leading into the ending confrontation with his father, is really powerful to me. Larry knows full well what he's doing and, even when he knows he is going to lose control of himself, he does what he can to try to give control to those capable of maintaining it in order to right his wrongs. His father inadvertently killing him in the original movie was a fnatastic beat to end on that really sold me on Larry's character and his story. This movie just traded what made the ending of the original work so well for me in for an overblown action sequence.

At the end of the day, I think there is potential for a really good Wolfman film in this movie, I just don't think it reached the potential that it could have had. There's a lot of good material in here, and even more hidden underneath, but on its own I don't think it's enough to make a good reinterpretation of this classic story. Still, I find myself oddly drawn in to it. I can definitely see myself rewatching this every so often, and probably liking it a bit more each time, just to satisfy a certain curiosity I have.

Rob Zombie bounced back in amazing fashion after those waste of talent Halloween remakes. Love, love, love this movie. That being said, it's a shame so much was cut or unfilmed due to production issues. We could have had more than five seconds of the crazy witch hunter brothers played by Sid Haig and Michael Berryman, damn it. >:(

I think if they toned down the violence it would have been a lot more effective. The gore and blood spurts just felt... excessive. Was some of that exclusive to the unrated version?

I really like the world that the movie established and some of the ideas that it presented, but I just found myself less than enthusiastic about the directions that it spun those ideas in. I'd definitely welcome another remake that dials things back a bit and tries to do a story with a bit of a smaller scale.

You kinda have to get your mind set to the time they came out when you watch them, but they're a lot of fun. If you were able to get into Dracula I'd say give a few more of 'em a go. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy (it's been ages since I've seen that one... will have to remedy that this month), The Wolf Man, and Creature From The Black Lagoon kind of round out the core films.

If you're able to get your hands on it, definitely try to check out Bride of Frankenstein as well. Both are great.

Yesterday I picked up Dracula, Frankenstein and The Mummy. But there was no BoF. :(

Acquire it. ;D

I have only seen the original Dracula, when it comes to these old movies. :-\



I've seen none, until last night.


Unf, yes. Continue on that magical journey.

If you guys haven't seen them, I'll highly recommend the Nosferatu films. Amazing atmosphere and visuals. Creeeepy....

Sort of, yes.

Mark Romanek was originally supposed to direct, but left when he couldn't convince the studio to make an actually interesting film.

Gonna have to spend some time digging, then. Really curious about what could have been.

Dracula (also 1931)

Wonderfully atmospheric first twenty minutes... watchable final hour.

The Lost Boys

Something something something cry little sister, something something Kiefer Sutherland mullet, something Rob Lowe poster.

Frankenstein (1931)

I loved it, absolutely loved it. The performance by Colin Clive as the mad scientist was spine chilling. And the monster himself, played by Boris Karloff was unforgettable. The make up by Jack Pierce was spot on. It wasn't too goofy nor was it fake looking. Karloff literally looked like a walking corpse(s).

It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!

Dracula (1931)- Spanish Version

This is a decent watch, but film buffs tend to overrate the shit out of it. Sure, there's one or two more tracking shots and some of the added bits are alright, but the film drags on forever and Carlos Villarillas is a shit tier Dracula. Pablo Alvarez Rubio was actually kind of great as Renfield, though. And this version does fill in one glaring hole from the Lugosi version.

BTW, none of this was helped by the fact that the clowns who put the DVD together apparently felt that normal English subtitles were unnecessary, so I had to watch it with the f**king closed captions on. ::)

I like the central idea of a father coming back to his family as a "literally changed" man... and trying to reignite things with his son. (An idea done better in the superior and crazier Possession with Sam Neill)

And apparently the symbol on that guy's forehead was the same symbol that zombie artist guy had on his wrist in The Beyond, so I'm guessing these two films have the same relation that Conan and the Lovecraft mythos had. :laugh:

The Mummy

It was enjoyable. Of the three I've watched, it's not my favorite. I thought Karloff would have spent more time as, you know, the actual mummy. But instead they reduce the iconic character to some creepy dude who's quietly living the life in Egypt until the princess is dug up. That's what kind of killed it for me.

Honeymoon

Sorry Rose Leslie, but this just didn't quite work. There are some clear parallels to ANTICHRIST, The Shining and other films, essentially depicting a family spending time in a remote secluded location, only for us to watch their relationship breaking down from whatever threats they encounter and/or bring with them. But the script is a mess and I'm not really sure what watching the film was supposed to make me feel. There are more equally plausible and possible interpretations, but since they seem so equally vague, it amounts to very little.

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

The greatest science fiction film next to Kubrick's 2001 finally makes its Blu-ray debut in its original, true version... and then gets a f**king awful new subtitle translation.

10/10 for the film
3/10 for the new subs

Yes, they are. Which is insane, because Manga is responsible for both that original DVD translation (which is the definitive translation, as far as I'm concerned) and this awful new one.

It's clunky and blunt and has lots of grammatical errors. All the famous, elegant lines from the original are now different: the Major's introductory joke, "It's that time of the month" is now "I'm on my period", etc. Characters tell each other not to "mither" (?!!) and use terms like "yobbos".

Sounds like they had some teenager do the translation :D

I suspect some cable-tv networks here have done similar with some of the movies they've had on the program. In the sense that the translator haven't seen a single frame of the film he/she is translating, but working only with a written transcript, completely missing a lot of hinted dialogue.

Zlol, I don't think I did. I wasn't really looking for it since Isabelle Adjani  captivated the f**k out of me in what I'm now considering the best performance of any woman on this planet to ever be on screen. Everything was just perfect in the way it was constructed, the effects on the creature and the blood/puss was just...christ so good. Teh madness was on point, and that ballerina scene is the only time where I even caught the scent of allegory...cus it was just in your face lol.

All in all I really liked the movie, wasn't aware that it was as crazy as it was so I think that caught me off guard, but that in itself made me love it. Don't think I'll ever see anything close to it ever again.

I just love how it starts all realistic (if melodramatic)... and then just goes completely weird and surreal on you.  :laugh:

The entire thing is an allegory for couples getting divorced.. and how we often "build" these idealized images of the person we are in love with... Adjani builds her own idealized Sam Neill.. Sam finds an idealized green eyed Adjani. :P

The end scene.... where the kid escapes from his "different and alien" mom and dad... set to the sounds of warfare.... blatant: DOMESTIC WARFARE and Divorce's can change you allegory.  :P

Adjani f**king kicks so much ass in this movie, it's ridiculous that she can be so good at wailing and freaking out without being comical. I don't think anyone else can pull that off. Adjani is seriously on a whole other level that no other actress can even hope to get a whiff of that talent.

film even had a f**king car chase.  :D

I also have the impression that the film also works as an allegory for
cold war paranoia and the impact of big government decisions on people's lives.... all that spy stuff with sam neill....

Lots of stuff to think about in the film.

Perfect Blue (1997)

Satoshi Kon's feature debut plays like David Lynch and De Palma fused into one entity and made a nightmarish anime. Darren Aronofsky ripped it off and diluted it for the middlebrow Oscar bait crowd for Black Swan (he conveniently holds the remake rights), and Lynch's Inland Empire bears a striking resemblance, although that's probably unintentional. Marred only by a wholly unnecessary, explanatory epilogue (much like the one that regrettably tags Hideo Nakata's Dark Water) -- the final shot of the film should have been Mima facing down the truck, arms extended to receive her applause. Would have been a 10/10 were that the case.

8/10

Zombie

Simply one of the five best post Romero zombie films ever. It has fun as hell set pieces, superior gore effects, and and amazing score by Fabio Frizzi. And with Richard Johnson playing the scientist, I like to think of this as an unofficial sequel to The Haunting, and Moneypenney got replaced with a younger actress for his wife. :laugh:

Nope :P Watching this mashup afterwards was pretty funny, showing how effective the scares are in Perfect Blue, and how overblown and laughable they are when Black Swan badly copies them:

Resident Evil: Damnation

Ayy a good video game movie. A good video game movie better than some of the latest entries in the actual game series. What RE 6 should have been. Knows what it is and what series it belongs to so it just goes crazy with the violence and gore, escalating to a delicious battle between Tyrants and Lickers with blood everywhere and f**king tanks being used point blank on monsters with the results you would expect.. :P

And with that I've officially started bloody spooky movie month. :P

I'm admittedly not the biggest animation buff (nothing against it at all, I just haven't seen nearly as many animated features as I would like to), but personally I don't think I'd mind dubbed animation, so long as its a good translation and well acted.

Subtitles all the way for live action, though.

Son of Dracula

It was kind of aight, but nothing too special. Chaney, as much as I love him, is pretty badly miscast here, and kind of drags the rest down with him. I did rather like the female lead, though, and the ending was nice and tragic, without a stupid joke tacked on at the end as Universal sometimes did.

I didn't think it was terrible but it was definitely very mediocre compared to the book.

It had like, one, maybe two good ideas that it did absolutely nothing with. The idea of zombies as essentially walking bacteria and not "infecting" the sick could potentially be really interesting. And the idea of using 'disease' as a 'cure.' The way they handled it was beyond terrible, though. :-X

The movie was pretty much two hours of Brad Pitt running form country to country and bad CGI zombies happening to find him only to kill everyone but him a la Godzilla 2014.

I just wish it took a second to catch its breath and actually explore the ideas that it (kind of) tried to put on the table. And calm down with the shakeycam. And get rid of the stupid mountain of CGI zombies scaling a giant wall and flipping over a bus.

Zombie stories can be much more interesting than this. Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, the World War Z book...

Bride of Frankenstein

Or rather, 10 minutes of the Bride of Frankenstein. What a misleading title. She doesn't show up until the final minutes left in the film. But the film wasn't a total loss. It was quite fun actually. The monster gets to speak, and discover food, wine, music, and kills a f**k load of people. The two actors playing Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Pretorius have a dick measuring contest as to who can overact the mad scientist bit the most. They play off each other quite brilliantly.

You ever read the book, FB? A lot of the events and the Monster's traits in this one seem to be more directly lifted out of the book than a lot of stuff in the first one.

If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. It's definitely one of my favorite books.

The Quatermass Xperiment (1955)

Derp-tastically spelled title aside, this is one hell of an effective sci-fi horror piece, and easily one of the best 50s monster on the loose flicks. The performances are pretty strong on the whole, including Donlevy's Quatermass, in spite of him being so obviously American. Really, my only gripe was the plot point that hinged on the astronaut's wife being a total idiot. Other than that, it's a great movie.

8/10

Dracula Untold (2014)

A rather boring and unexciting origin story for the character. Luke Evans did okay, and there is some stuff that didn't really make sense. The best part was Charles Dance in his cave.

So pretty much exactly what the trailers made it out to be, then. :D

Yeah, pretty much. Its sad when Charles Dance out acts the entire cast, and scene steals everyone else in one scene. :D

Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Oct 10, 2014, 09:58:15 PM
Like I said in the other thread, it looks like the movie was trying too hard to go for a stylized take on Dracula but the movie just looked too bland (and the script was probably too bland as well) to really embrace that.

I'll probably end up watching it eventually just to see vampire-Charles Dance. :P

I saw the trailer and it reminded me of Castlevania Lords of Shadow.

Then I got angry cause I remembered Lords of Shadow and how shit it was. Which has now kept me from wanting to see this movie in any way along with it looking bland as f**k.

After killing the men who murdered his wife and son, Jon (Mikkelsen), a Danish settler in the US, has to deal with the brother of the dead man, a ruthless son of a bitch played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I quite liked this film. Mads Mikkelsen did an excellent job in the lead role and Mikael Persbrandt worked well as his brother. Eva Green was terrific, especially given the limitations that came with her role as a mute. Having eyes that could pierce your soul helped a lot. Morgan was a villain that you love to hate. Well done.

X-Ray (aka: Hospital Massacre)

Barbi Benton checks into the hospital for a routine check-up (read as: gratuitous nude scene) and soon finds herself at the mercy of a psychopath who's still fuming over a childhood Valentine's Day rejection dating back some two decades. As members of staff are gorily picked off one by one, the red herrings come thick and fast. Is it broad-shouldered friendly doctor? Sinister British mullet doctor? Frank Oz doctor? What's great is you can tell who the killer is almost immediately, but it's still fun to play along!

Plus chances are you'll be too preoccupied with trying to figure out why David Lynch is filming a dream sequence on the ninth floor.

It's a good one!

The Mummy (1959)

Considering Hammer was actually remaking the later Universal Mummy films, this is actually a superior remake. It helps that Christopher Lee's Kharis is more intimidating than Lon Chaney's was. The mummification scene loses a lot of its punch when it mainly consist of Lee spinning for a bit and then backing into the chamber all on his own, though. :laugh:

Totally corny and stupid... but also entertaining as f**k with some really cool action setpieces and lots of f**k yeah! moments.

James Cameron must have facepalmed soooo hard when he saw what Stallone did with his script. :laugh:
When you write a script.. in your mind you tend to daydream about the best possible execution of it.. the best actors, the best direction.... this film is what happens when your script gets taken in by cornball bozo's. :P

At least this film served to directly inspire Cameron's Aliens (Ripley is haunted by her past experiences in much the same way as Rambo is in this film.. and both of them go back to the place of their trauma to deal with it.) ..and Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series. A crapfest that somehow managed to inspire gold.  :laugh:

  Automata (2014)

  A well made movie with a well made dystopic future , definetly inspired by Wall-E (2008) and The Machine (2013) . Automata is almost like a puzzle : you won't understand much in the beginning , but the more you watch , the more you'll understand it .
  Like a more mature variant , Automata is almost as good as Wall-E ( but not made me watch it 3 more times like Wall-E did , lol ) .

   I recommend watching this movie .

Giftbearer fanedit of Prometheus.

I think the additional bits formed an improvement - while opening the film with the excessively long TED talk is dry, it provides much more context to the rest of the film, and I think it's important to have a young Peter Weyland for contrast. Also liked some of the extra scenes with Janek. Overall, the film made a bit more sense, felt a bit more coherent.


But it's still crap. As far as I'm concerned, Prometheus had an incredibly promising central concept, and a few tasty ingredients (mainly David and the art & design for LV223), but ended up undercooked to the point of giving you salmonella.
Strong performances were mostly wasted, and counterbalanced by a few terrible ones (Fyfield and Milburne didn't just suck because of the lunatic writing). Weyland's old-man makeup couldn't bridge the uncanny valley with a spaceship. The plot veered around all over the place, and couldn't find a natural flow. The only thing resembling a central antagonist wasn't introduced until very late in the film, and its motivation went unexplained. Dialogue was fairly weak. Music was jobsworth. Ridley's eye for shots, pacing and motivating actors wasn't even on the level of Kingdom of Heaven, let alone Alien or Blade Runner.

The idea of exploring the creation of life had the potential to produce something that hit on a similar level to 2001. Obviously I don't think it managed that, and in almost every respect it doesn't hold a candle to Alien either.

Is that the fan edit where the special effects are complete? And where they removed wires (where necessary)? I know at one point I saw a very professional fan edit and it did add a tiny bit of something but not enough to sway opinions. It's difficult to ignore how idiotic most of the crew is. And how Charlize got wasted in her role even though she was one of the 3 characters who were actually bearable to watch.

It looked good but ultimately lacked a lot of substance. I would have much preferred something with the intense gritty atmosphere of Alien.

This is a decent sci-fi adventure aside from very annoying characters but it doesn't feel nearly as epic and as impactful as Alien.

I don't think so, though I never noticed any issue with the special effects (aside from Weyland's makeup...).
I'd like to see freaky-alien-Fyfield replacing space-zombie-Fyfield, but I'm not sure the full footage has been released.

There's a fan edit that incorporates all the deleted scenes except the scene where Fifield and Milburn find shedded skin. And in the deleted scenes where there is colour grading that needs to be done or green screens that need to be filled in or wire removal that needs to be done, the person doing the edit deals with all of those rather professionally.

Inferno

Definitely improves a lot on the second viewing. The middle stretch is still a little dull, and the male lead is kind of crap. It would have been much better if Argento had gotten James Woods like he wanted to. That definitely would have been awesome, but oh well, we got stuck with a guy from Dallas.

Dracula (1979)

This one has it's flaws (like being annoyingly inconsistent with its vampire lore), but it makes for a very enjoyable watch. Frank Langella is a large part of that, and he's pretty pimptastic in the role.

And the picture quality on the blu looked pretty good, First Blood.

 Holy sheep , there's a lot of activity going on in here . 

The Purge : Anarchy (2014)

  The first movie's ending was kinda dull and stupid way to end it . In contrast to the first movie which had more tense moments , the second has as twice as much action ( I wouldn't be surprised if this movie was directed by Michael Bay , seriously ) .
  The characters are as interesting as they were in the first movie but what's really special is the fact that we see more of the movie's "universe" . We see closely what the rich and the poor people do on The Purge , we see organized group raiding people's houses like they're SWAT troops and much more...
   Even tough it's not changed by much , it's definitely an improvement .

   
Spoiler
Heard there's going to be a third movie in 2015 and it's going to be a prequel.

Fury (2014)

Fury is arguably David Ayer's best film. Ayer known for his grounded and often realistic action films, makes his stamp on the World War II genre. This movie doesn't celebrate nor glorify war. It's down and dirty, and ugly. Limbs are severed, bodies are blown apart. These characters are physically and mentally drained. They're nearing their breaking point. And Ayer stresses that in this film, with wonderful performances by Michael Pena, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Bernthal, and the glue that holds the crew together; Brad Pitt. If you enjoyed Brad Pitt's performance in Inglorious Basterds then you have to see him as "Wardaddy" in Fury. A solid film all around, that shouldn't be missed.

Paranormal Activity 3

By far the most distracting thing about this film is how it looks, since last I checked, home movies filmed on tape in the 80s didn't usually yield a pristine widescreen image. That they didn't actually shoot this on video, complete with 4:3 aspect ratio, tracking lines and fuzzy audio, is an unforgivable creative oversight.   

Otherwise it's pretty creepy stuff, and I'm impressed by how restrained this series has so far been. You can just write it off as budgetary constraints, buy they do a good job of maintaining suspense without constantly resorting to 'quiet quiet LOUD NOISES' tactics (at least until the final scenes).

But I hear 4 descends into repetitive jump scares, so onwards and downwards.

It's a farcical poetic tragic funny operatic comedy-melodrama, endlessly entertaining and loaded with weird and wonderful imagery in wich Jodorowsky reimagines and mythologizes the life of his family (Jodorowsky himself as a child, his dad and mom) under General Ibañez dictatorship in Chile. His father, a communist homophobe (who somehow counts transgender prostitutes as some of his revolutionary friends) goes on an odyssey to kill the dictator... and instead finds the unexpected. Despite being a very personal film... It's also deeply devoted to entertaining the audience and the pace is perfect throughout.

At 85, Jodorowsky has come back to film and has done his best one yet, showing no sign of his imagination having slowed down... This isnt surprising for those who have followed his career as an acclaimed comic book auteur, in wich he changed styles from surrealism into genres with stronger narrative and characterization.. He's done westerns, historical dramas, science fantasy.. all with the typical Jodorowskian strong imagination and love of the unexpected. In a way, through the years. .he's only been getting better.. and even his failures (like his famed Dune adaptation) ended up being highly influential. :laugh:

The problem, though? At 85 this is also likely to be his last. And what a hell of an original last film it is.
Thanks, Alejandro.

After so many years of never seeing this classic, I finally decided to open it up and watch it. Overall it was very good, not great, but very good. Linda Hamilton (aka Sarah Connor) did a great job with her character and I kept mistaking Peter Horton with Steven Weber, mainly because they look exactly alike. Malacai and Isaac were just deranged, but were also great actors.

This is the very good Bryan Singer movie everybody forgot about, probably because of the two not terribly good movies that book ended it in his filmography. It's pretty intense, and Cruise acquits himself admirably in the lead role. And it's always cool to see Bill Nighy in something.

Max Payne (2008)

    The actors look fantastic and portray the characters in the game very well but the movie just didn't had that atmosphere the first 2 games had . And the original soundtrack is also missing .
    Could've been better .

    5/10


Deliver Us from Evil (2014)

    A well made horror movie . Pretty much inspired by The Visitation (2006) , The Exorcist (1973) and The Conjuring (2013) , but better than all of them (well , not better than The Exorcist , but whatever ) and with a different setting . The acting was kinda shitty in some scenes and there were some stupid jumpscares but everything else was good .

   
Spoiler
I don't know why but the scenes near the end , when Sarchie is in the basement with Santino and Butler gets killed reminded me of Cry of Fear , maybe it was the setting , who knows?

    Solid horror movie.

An American Werewolf in London

Well, I definitely loved this! A funny, charming, and often gruesome blend of old and new. In the 80s I'm sure this felt incredibly modern, but it also has a bunch of great throwbacks to the classic 1941 The Wolf Man and Universal's other old monster movies, right down to the super-abrupt ending. :D And I have to say, the transformation scene definitely lived up to the hype. That was really, really well done, and still holds up excellently today.

And 'dat soundtrack!

This was easily one of Hammer's best.

The whole point of the tale is the sort of omnipotent angle of view we witness these emotionless characters from, living their lives in a society where individuality is completely suppressed from upholding whatever mirror image of yourself you are dictated from the norms and expectations of society. It might be one of his 'weaker' films in comparison, but I'll take 'weak Kubrick' any day over 95% of the available film library out there.

If for nothing else, Barry Lyndon is an interesting companion film to Kubrick's own A Clockwork Orange, dealing with similar themes, although completely different artistically.

Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Flower of 1001 Nights.

He prefers bananas to figs...ifyaknowhatimean/10

.....i'd never thought that somehow.. bad "dubbing" could actually aid a film in an unironical way... (wut!) but it only made this film all the more dreamlike and weird.... and that tone blended well with the VERY STYLISED acting in this. None of the actors here say their lines as if they were actually inhabitting their characters... they "recite" their lines as if they were poetry.. thus preserving the dreamlike nature of the original arabian nights text. Pier Paolo Pasolini's script is very smart, elegant and poetic in a way that avoids artsyfartsyintellectualpretention and is instead full of humour, heart and yes, beauty... and thus truly captures the magic of the original text. Pasolini chose to adapt some of the lesser known stories.. you wont find Ali Baba, Scheherazade or Sindbad here.... but these stories are no less entertaining. 

Shot in Iran, Nepal, Etiopia and Yemen with hundreds of local actors, the film just oozes authenticity and faithfulness to the original stories wich, by the way.. are still just as vibrant, funny and interesting as when they were first written more than a thousand years ago.

The problems? Ennio Morriconne's soundtrack (though elegant with its baroque style) is barely there and when it is, never achieves anything memorable. A few scenes that ask for special effects are just f**king pathetic to look at and are DARKPLACE tier (lol) (With the exception of a few well cut miniature shots that actually achieve a "dreamlike/fairytale" aesthetic). Sometimes the dubbing breaks its "dreamlike" aspect and is just distracting. ...but that's about it.

The Standouts? The Character of Zumurrud, a black slave girl that uses her smarts to outwit the shit out of everybody else is a wonder to watch. The sexuality shown in this film is gay and straight and the film depicts both in very positive fashion. Lots of full frontal nudity of both sexes.

8/10. Very much deserving of being a CRITERION flick.

If you are interested in the more adventurous stories of the arabian nights.. Michael Powell's Thief of Bagdad is your GO-To film.. if you are interested in the weirder, funnier, more poetic and raunchier tales.. and can stand the stylised art-house bizarro dreamlike tone.. .this is the right flick for you.

TL;DR It's a weirdddddd flick.

Ghost in the Shell

This film has some beautiful visuals and an incredible score.

Sadly I didn't feel too invested in the story and I know this is supposed to be "one of the best animes", "brilliant filmmaking", "philosophical cinema" etc. but it just wasn't for me. :(

I understand the appeal; I just don't feel as strongly about the film as other anime films I've seen.

The Eye (2002)

This was very good, and very, very scary. The elevator scene in particular was pretty damn chilling. That being said, the last ten minutes were a bit.... how should I put it... over the top? If the movie had ended before that last part, I would have liked it a lot more.

Unhinged

This may not be the most energetic slasher out there, featuring seemingly endless, banal dialogue sequences and minimal gore (which could be said for many of its fellow, unfairly prosecuted 'Video Nasties'), but it just about gets by on the strength of its spooky dark mansion setting and an ending twist that's so daft it's kind of brilliant.

Ghost in the Shell

This film has some beautiful visuals and an incredible score.

Sadly I didn't feel too invested in the story and I know this is supposed to be "one of the best animes", "brilliant filmmaking", "philosophical cinema" etc. but it just wasn't for me. :(

I understand the appeal; I just don't feel as strongly about the film as other anime films I've seen.

7/10

Can't say for sure, but two candidates would be Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. And it's a recent choice, but You're Next was pretty intense.

I think too many slashers unsuccessfully try to replicate the slow burn of John Carpenter's Halloween. But they usually deliver the goods in the last twenty minutes.

They don't symbolize anything :P They're there because they look pretty, like almost everything else in what is definitely Oshii's most self-indulgent, visually overblown film.

That's better than vacuous JESUS symbolism in Blade Runner though, which is just there because... no reason, really. Some cheap added subtext to the third act when it comes out of nowhere, to provide an illusion of depth? Yup.

Because Blade Runner is actually pretty empty. Anyone who thinks it's even comparable to the complexity of Ghost in the Shell is seriously kidding themselves.

Even with the best work possible, I don't think a film could have hit anywhere near the emotional beats and insight of the books. And I don't think any studio would have the balls to translate certain aspects faithfully.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Oct 21, 2014, 10:37:15 PM
The original, 2.5 hour cut of the film was very faithful... which was what made New Line nervous. And apparently the reason they cut the entire third act was because idiots in test screenings got confused and thought Lyra had died and was going to heaven.  ::)

I don't think The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass are very cinematic, and certainly would have been very problematic to translate. But the cast was so, so perfect :-\ Shame.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Vertigo on Oct 21, 2014, 10:40:08 PM
I was mostly thinking about The Amber Spyglass with the touchy material. I didn't know there was a longer cut out there, is that on the Bluray?
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Oct 21, 2014, 10:41:28 PM
Nope, and there apparently never will be. You can see lots of the cut material, including shots from the entire cut third act, in the trailer, though. Roger being killed by Asreal, etc.

Haven't actually brought myself to watch that film, but if they cut Bolvanger, Svalbard and the rift, what's the point in even making it? Sounds like it's a road to nowhere.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Oct 21, 2014, 10:49:13 PM
The theatrical cut has Bolvanger and Svalbard, but (awkwardly) switches them, and then the movie abruptly ends. Everything that comes after that has been cut. The studio also even went in and digitally erased all traces to religion, including Catholic phrases in Latin the director had included in the set design. It's painful how obviously truncated the released film is.

4/10

Just a real flat movie with hardly anything going for it. There's nothing here that captivated me in the slightest. It's based on a true story of this guy who took like a billion identities for himself and all that. Shockingly enough the only thing this movie did for me, was that it made me want to learn more, and thankfully Netflix also has the documentary about the guy's life.

In all fairness, that was a while ago. I remember going in expecting a vampire movie, and instead got a movie about white trash assholes tooling around in a Scooby Doo van who just happen to be vampires. And then that guy randomly pulls a cure out of his ass near the end...

I like all of her work, except that submarine thriller she did with Harrison Ford. That was any-smuck-can-direct-this-actionflick-by-the-numbers extremely mediocre. ZD30 was brilliant, potheads.
How are you going to sit there and bash K19 The Widowmaker and praise Zero Dark 30...?

I've seen the plot and political/military shenanigans in K19 in many other films and done much better as well. It has none of Bigelow's usual trademarks, except being a macho thriller with macho characters. ZD30 - haven't seen anyone else take up this subject so well, apart from the first season of Homeland.

U-571 is clearly the superior submarine movie. :P
Jon Bon Jovi and Matthew McConaughey in the military; greatest movie of all time.

ZD30 was a nuisance that managed to annoy me while at the same time reenacting things I'd seen and heard hundreds of thousands of times on news panels over the past decade. Nothing new, nothing interesting, just annoying.

At least K19 was interesting.

Two Days, One Night (2014)

Marion Cotillard plays a woman on leave from her job after suffering from severe depression. On the brink of recovery, she learns that her bosses have put a nasty vote to her coworkers: fire her and give them all a measly $1,000 bonus, or let her return and keep her job -- which they all selfishly vote "yes" for in her absence. Terrified and uncertain, she sets out over the course of one weekend to get them to change their minds and their vote. Structured like a kind of social realist Snowpiercer, as Cotillard must battle her way not through train car after train car, but co-worker after co-worker set on sacrificing her in favor of their own (pathetically modest) economical advancement, building to a powerfully bittersweet finale.

It's not as depressing as it could be. Watching it I was thinking how the story is like something Lars von Trier or Chang Dong Lee would come up with, but Lars would turn it into vicious black comedy (there's especially one scene here that he definitely would involving a suicide attempt). The film is very straightforward though and doesn't wallow.

John Wick (2014)

Okay, believe the hype. This may be the best action movie of the year. Reeves kills it in the role as the unstoppable hitman that makes bad guys shit their pants. The plot is painfully simple. The son of a Russian mobster kills Wick's dog and steals his car. That's it. That's all there is to it. And from there we sit back and watch Wick tear his way through the Russian mob. The gun play and fight scenes are wonderfully choreographed and brutal. My favorite scene in particular was when Wick tears his way through a nightclub.

And holy shit that was Daniel Bernhardt. Expect to see a Neo vs. Agent Johnson rematch on more than one occasion in this.

TJ man, you have to check this movie out.

Hobbit Desolation of Smaug Extended Edition

Adding some well needed scenes to an already great film. The dwarven introduction to Beorn scene is here and its one of my favorites. Thrain scenes where pretty boss aswell, i was hoping for some more Mirkwood elvish shinanagans but alas.

some added Bard stuff was pretty funny too.

Overall, as all extended editions go, i can no longer watch the theatrical.

All that bad 90s CGI isn't getting any better, but Arghnhuld keeps things grounded with one of his best performances, and this is always worth revisiting for Gabriel Byrne's ultimate incarnation of boob-grabbing evil.

Gone Girl

Finally got to watch this tonight. If you watch this as a rather ordinary whodunnit crime thriller, it sort of falls apart with these quite extreme characters on the stage, doing some pretty horrendous things to hurt other people around them. However, if you watch it as a dark satire about how we live our lives mainly as projections of ourselves instead of, well - ourselves, it becomes an interesting companion to The Social Network. So I can sort of tell why Fincher found the book interesting in the first place.

I loved the soundtrack, especially the overwhelming contrast between the relaxing background music to the harrowing music that plays especially during some of Amy's scenes.

I'd like to read more from the same author when I get around to it (find the time  :-\ )

The Babadook

This is an effective portrayal of a domestic implosion that just so happens to feature a nightmarish monster ripped straight from the darkest corner of German Expressionism-era cinema.

So it's a bit like Possession with less tentacles for the Insidious generation.

Dear White People (2014)

Fear not, casual and closet white racists alike who bristled with rage at the amusingly confrontational title -- this isn't actually the incendiary, feature length "kill whitey" rally promo your paranoid imaginations dreamt up, and which compelled you to downvote the IMDB rating en masse months before the film was even released.

If anything, Justin Simien's directorial debut isn't confrontational enough, ending up less an indictment of the endurance of institutionalized racism and the way white people are conveniently able to ignore and enable it, and more a witty, crowd-pleasing meditation on identity politics and campus life, which is also a valid approach, but which dulls the fangs of much of the potential satire. Where Simien trips up is his neophyte direction; his script is smart, breezy and populated by well-drawn, likeable characters, each with their own myriad of intersecting subplots that must all intersect somewhere along the way, but while he name checks Robert Altman, the master of such ensemble dramadies, his grip on the film itself is nowhere near as assured as that reference point, and the film's pacing is frequently slack and lacking the energy required to hold all its disparate story strands together. Fortunately, his casting is superb, with the two leads performances by Tyler James Williams as the shy, gay geek Lionel, and Tessa Thompson's campus firebrand being clear star-making turns.

Part I - Very good first half, the backround/nostalgic memories were fantastic. 9/10
Part II - The now adult story was also very good, but not quite as good as Part I. The library scene (easy 10/10) was probably my overall favorite scene of the miniseries. 7.5/10

Overall: 8.25/10

Orochi (2008)

A bizarre J-horror melodrama that riffs on What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, and seems to anticipate Park Chan Wook's Stoker in its lush cinematography, baroque dollhouse sets and costuming, a roving CGI spider, and even the use of a crossbow in the finale. The story is an unwieldy mess, and the supernatural framing element feels arbitrary in the extreme, but Norio Tsuruta, otherwise known for mediocrities like Ring 0 and Premonition, directs with real style and a confidence unseen in his other works, supported by a startlingly ferocious lead turn by Yoshino Kimura and an excellent Kenji Kawai score.

One of the cinemas in town was renovated earlier this year to show nothing but classic films. Very cool idea...


...except none of them know what "aspect ratio" is. The cinema screens there are 2:35:1. They project films that are 1:85:1, etc, not at their proper aspect ratio, but stretched wide to 2:35:1. Like when you go to some idiot's house and they watch stretched out shows or classic 1:33:1 films on their widescreen TV because they "don't like the black bars" on the side. ::)

That's completely unheard of...! :P

1: all cinema screens are scope format (2.35:1)
2: they show films in scope format - no problem. No black bars.
3: when non-scope ratio movies are displayed, you roll in the side curtains and the screen is now, say 1.85:1 format. No black bars.

To add, I'm very sure they are not allowed to shows their films in wrong or distorted aspect ratios. That's a violation of the artwork you're presenting.

I worked shortly at a local cinema back in my youth. At some point I remember us having a sneak preview for a specially invited audience of a Danish film, which meant that the director himself came, checked out our projection equipment, audio rack and told the projectionist how to 'frame the image', meaning how much/little of the picture could be in the mask area around the screen. Total control of the presentation, within the limits of what the setup can offer.

I can imagine directors all over the world getting quite pissed, if they learn that their film are being projected somewhere in the wrong aspect ratio, mono sound or some other technical big no-no. And I believe they (or reps from the film company/distributer) have final say. Films are artworks and they are protected as such.

And no Cvalda, the director I met on this occasion, wasn't Lars Von Trier... :-\

Move to Canada. Every year, our national theatre chain, Cineplex, runs what's called the Digital Film Festival. They always play classic movies. There's also the Classic Film Series they run, along with Most Wanted Mondays where people vote for the movies they want to see. Thanks to all three, I've seen Die Hard, Clockwork Orange, 2001, Oldboy, Battle Royale, Gremlins, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters, and others on the big screen in recent memory.

Street Fighter Assassins Fist (2014)

So a Tom Cruise look-a-like and a random Asian dude play Ken Masters and Ryu in this proper adaptation of the popular video game series. This goes back to their formative years when they were in training. Now I did enjoy this and it might be the best origin story out there for these characters, but Christ this felt long winded at times; clocking in at 2 hrs and 30 mins. It tends to get caught up in the back stories and flashbacks and loses some focus from time to time. One thing I love about the 1994 film is the entertainment value it brings along with the unintentional comedy. You're not going to find that here. Everybody plays it straight.

One very memorable scene from Schindler's List, is also when the women are transported to the shower chamber. Spielberg playing around with the expectations of his audience (meaning, letting us think we know what will happen next) in this manner is just cruel. Very effective.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched

That's exactly why Michael Hanneke hated Schindler's List.

"It was a Thriller like scene in a serious film about real people.. turning tragedy into entertainment!"
Or something.

Me, i think Spielberg just wanted to really put the audience into the "victim's shoes" in that scene, so to speak. Dont think he meant to write "entertainment" out of real tragedies. :P

Still a very good film, anyway.

Nightcrawler (2014)

The trailers don't do this film justice, they really don't. What is often been marketed as Jake Gyllenhaal looking and acting like an awkward social recluse is only partially true. The character is sociopath, through and through. We enter his world as he manipulates and bullies his way across the picture. Director Dan Gilroy channels his inner Michael Mann and presents a Los Angeles that we're often not accustomed to. The world of sensationalized journalism. Lou sits in his car with his police scanner waiting for the next juicy story to come so he can film in graphic detail, and get paid for it. Lou's journey is one of narcissism and self-importance. He doesn't care about the people around him. They are a means to an end.

I liked this movie and the performances in it. Recommended? Absolutely.

42 (2013)

Starring Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson, the first African-American baseball player to play for a Major League team. A pretty decent film, though it was a bit sappy from time to time. Boseman was good. Looking forward to seeing him in Black Panther as well. Harrison Ford delivered a decent performance as well, especially when compared to many of his recent roles. And never before have I wanted to punch Alan Tudyk so badly.

Family Guy's Peter Griffin quotes this as the best movie of all time, of course as a joke in the real world. Decently written and acted thruout tho. 6.5/10

Halloween 5 (1989)

When I watched this for the first time years ago, I thought it was good (was more than likely super high). The second time it was ok. Now years later and sober, I consider this a laugh riot, still better than Halloween 3. 4/10

Halloween 6 (1995)

Never seen this one til today. It was ok but had some really f'ed up moments (as in "yeah right" moments). 3/10

Nightbreed: The Directors Cut (1990)

Rambling preamble within
Spoiler

1990 was a big year for horror; both cult and mainstream. Hardware, It, Jacob's Ladder, The Night of the Living Dead remake with Tony Todd, Predator 2, Tales from the Darkside, Tremors. It was a very good year.

I remember reading about all these films in Fangoria magazine in the years/months leading up to their releases and being especially hyped for a film called Nightbreed. Based on a Clive Barker book (Cabal) Nightbreed seemed to be building a mythology and a universe not unlike Star Wars but with serial killers, strange and mythical creatures, Lovecraftian horrors, and ancient Gods and the cults who worshiped them.

Alas it finally arrives and it was a critical and commercial bomb.

I ate it up as a preteen and was completely oblivious to the panning reviews and negative opinions. Growing up I found myself in a minority of people who actually enjoyed the film for what it was and as the years went by I guess enough of us came of out the closet to elevate it to cult status.

From an adult perspective and without nostalgia goggles the film was pretty 'meh'. I learned later that the film (like many films churned out of the Hollywood system) was heavily f**ked with by the studio and suffered a similar evolution and editing process as Alien 3.
[close]

Compared to the original cut ... the new directors cut restores much of what was intended. Characters and motivations are much more clearly defined. The overall propulsion of the film seemed to be going towards what was original promised in all those Fangoria magazines I was reading when I was 12 and 13 years old. This NEW CUT of Nightbreed honestly aspires to be the Star Wars of horror-fantasy. The mythology, the imaginative creatures, the low budget practical effects made by truly inspired and hungry young folks are on full display. In this cut we glimpse about 20 or so previously unseen beasts, critters, and abominations. And for every new creature we get to see, we get long lingering looks at others we only previously glimpsed in shadow.

Sure there are still some pretty cringe worthy moments (and new ones!) And the recycled musical cues previously associated with other scenes are a little distracting laid seemingly slapdash over the restored footage. But all that aside, this cut of the film is a dream come true for fans of Nightbreed.

Oh no, that was my growing unease (starting at the first with "hehe, bring on the real spooks now" to the last with "OH GOD THIS WAS A BAD IDEA I WON'T BE SLEEPING TONIGHT"), progressing through each movie. I thought it was excellent, and that one scene was one of the most overwhelmingly horrific (and technically, on levels of special effects and cinematography, brilliant) scenes...ever. I saw clips of it as a kid and it scarred me something harsh. Now, seeing the entire moving, there's no going back.

I found a life size alien grey model that was a cd stand holding the CD stack In its hand but in a "peaking around the corner pose" on a hard rubbish day, I thought it would be fun to prank every one in our uni share home with it, lots and lots of pranks and it got put away, the about 6months later someone else decided to bring it back out and put at the end of the hallway peaking around the corner of the end of the hall, at this time I'd completely forgot about it, shat my pants hard, spooked me so hard I left and went to my girlfriends place for the night come back in the morning and It was still there then I remebered it wasn't real, took it out the back yard and smashed it peices with a hammer...

Alien

First time ever watching it and I really like it. It reminded me of 2001 Space Odyssey. Also I found it visually interesting with the art and the set designs.


do u think it was better than the first Predator

From a Cinematic standpoint, Alien.

From a kickass stand point, Predator.

Planet of the Vampires (1965)

Extraordinary, hyper-stylized neon lighting, sets and sleek costumes that look like every 40s and 50s pulp sci-fi magazine cover come to life are grafted onto a dull, threadbare story that's most notable for originating the Space Jockey set piece later immortalized by Alien.

From Playboy magazine...

Quote
I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people ... I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from [the Native Americans] ... Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves

Yeah John, those Native Americans were so selfish. ::)

Snowpiercer

A blockbuster production with a devilishly unpredictable plot/10

I want Joon Ho-Bong to direct an Alien film.. and i want that shit yesterday.

Other than some needless shakey cam in the action scenes.... perfect film. Easily on the top 5 films of the year.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Cvalda on Nov 02, 2014, 01:45:47 AM
Considering how much Snowpiercer resembles a Jeunet film in places, and even seems to have some inspiration from Alien Resurrection in its set design, you might not actually want a Bong Joon Ho Alien film :P


Maroko (1990)

Another one of Mamoru Oshii's absurdist meta-comedies in the vein of The Red Spectacles, Tachiguishi Retsuden and Assault Girls, here satirizing "family dramas", and throwing the typical genre tropes into disarray by introducing science fiction elements, incest, and the same stagey, self-aware theatrics he used in Spectacles and Tachiguishi to directly comment on the story. Product placement is blatant and there's a tasteless Hitler joke, but the intensity and commitment with which Oshii invests this warped, knowing nonsense is impressive right up to its inexplicably moving coda (which would later be reprised to similar effect in the live action Stray Dog).

7/10

The Lost Boys (1987)

The classic film that sadly got butchered with sequels. An all star cast (RIP Corey Haim) with a good script and great acting, except Jason Patric (to quote Stewie: "EEEEEWWWWWWWW"). I remember buying this on VHS back when I very first began to work at age 16 and watched it so much (very high for many of the viewings back then). Looking back on this film, the vampire deaths, especially David, were kinda easy and not very innovative, but it is the 80s afterall. Overall, this classic film shows that there were days when Vampire movies weren't shitty.

9/10

The Babadook (2014)

Instant classic about a single mother driven to madness and violence by her trying autistic son and the sinister specter from an otherworldly children's book. Some have described it as a female version of The Shining, but it's really a descendant of films like The Others, Hideo Nakata's Dark Water and even We Need to Talk About Kevin. Masterful buildup for the first half in tandem with extraordinary performances from the two leads, reaching a fever pitch of nightmarishness in its second that wipes the floor with every other pathetic "horror" entry that's limped out into release this year.

Birdman (2014)

Masterful. Absolutely masterful. Michael Keaton is back and back with a vengeance. I loved this and everything about it. It's a self aware satire on not just showbiz but Hollywood in general, particularly super hero films. The story hits close to home with Keaton's career. In many ways it feels semi-autobiographical. Aside from the outstanding acting from Keaton and the actors around him, the film sours on a technical level. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu presents the film in long uninterrupted tracking shots. Almost like a stage production. I tried to look for breaks in the shots, but they are too cleverly hidden. Well done. Birdman is the best film of Michael Keaton's career.

I was pretty impressed by this, actually. Quite effective. Some great performances all around, and I appreciate that it was able to slow down a bit when necessary (the scene in the house with the two German women was probably my favorite).

Quote from: Cvalda on Nov 02, 2014, 07:57:22 PM
The Babadook (2014)

Instant classic about a single mother driven to madness and violence by her trying autistic son and the sinister specter from an otherworldly children's book. Some have described it as a female version of The Shining, but it's really a descendant of films like The Others, Hideo Nakata's Dark Water and even We Need to Talk About Kevin. Masterful buildup for the first half in tandem with extraordinary performances from the two leads, reaching a fever pitch of nightmarishness in its second that wipes the floor with every other pathetic "horror" entry that's limped out into release this year.

8/10
Quote from: First Blood on Nov 02, 2014, 08:32:45 PM
Birdman (2014)

Masterful. Absolutely masterful. Michael Keaton is back and back with a vengeance. I loved this and everything about it. It's a self aware satire on not just showbiz but Hollywood in general, particularly super hero films. The story hits close to home with Keaton's career. In many ways it feels semi-autobiographical. Aside from the outstanding acting from Keaton and the actors around him, the film sours on a technical level. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu presents the film in long uninterrupted tracking shots. Almost like a stage production. I tried to look for breaks in the shots, but they are too cleverly hidden. Well done. Birdman is the best film of Michael Keaton's career.

I need to see these!

E.T. (1982, remastered/re edited)

*Please note: The following review entails this version of the film, not the original cut.*

Spielberg had to take the George Lucas "touch up" approach to my favorite childhood film of all time. While CGI has taken over modern films, it does not belong in this film. I always enjoyed certain tiny details about films; dialogue, a few seconds of screen time, the score, etc. Some of the scenes and sequences get horribly butchered. I can understand that CGI was needed for the bathroom deleted scene bc there was no puppet available when they originally filmed the scene in the early 80s.  A bad CGI redo was when Gerdie originally meets ET in Elliott's room. I did not see anything wrong with the puppet they originally used when they had their screaming match, but oh well. Same goes with the fridge scene when ET loots it and finds the beer. Nothing wrong with the original, but they redid it anyway. worst of all was the re editing of the historic night sky bike ride scene. I will not go there. As for the remastered/edited dialogue; yikes. Instead of remastering the original dialogue on certain scenes, they re-recorded it so wrong. You can really tell in the quarantine room/outside the house when the gov't comes in. another that really bothered me was when the gov't and Mary (the kids mom) find the van in the playground. The original "No guns! They're children!" was cut out and the music drains over the remaining gov't officials dialogue. Finally, the scene where the kids on the bikes face off against the gov't (near the very end), they cut the few seconds where a guy picks up a shotgun then Elliot closes his eyes. ARGH!

There are good points, however. This is ET afterall! The remastered/re-recorded score is flawless. The deleted scenes (the bathroom/tub scene, Halloween streets with Gerdie and Michael) are great additions to the film and I can see why Spielberg originally cut them. I wish they had remastered the school principal deleted scene (with Harrison Ford), but oh well. The picture is crystal clear and you can see so much more of the background and little details versus the original. Having it in widescreen really adds to the picture too, as some parts you simply could not see in the original, unless you were lucky enough to see it in the theaters.

Overall, the CGI mess is annoying as shit and the dialogue is the same, but aside from those points it is still a great movie.

Conan the Destroyer (1984)

"Enough talk!"

I don't hate this one like I used to. Now, I just view it as a decent enough time waster movie. Wilt Chamberlain is pretty boss, though, and this is a hell of a lot bloodier than I remember it being. Also, the monster at the end is more awesome now that I know it was Andre the Giant in the costume. :laugh:

I get where Spielberg was coming from with changing the shotguns to walkie talkies.  Perspective comes from age.  He said if he'd made Close Encounters when he was older, Roy wouldn't have abandoned his family and got on the ship.

I sometimes wonder if Peter Jackson would have a shot of a zombie reaching into a woman's guts in Braindead ripping out a squirming foetus and showing it to the woman, if he'd made the film after Billy and Katie had been born.

But I thought Spielberg fessed up that making some of the changes to ET was a mistake and changed them back?

The Babadook

This was really, really unsettling and chilling to watch. The two main performers were excellent in channeling true dread. Numerous times while watching this, the small hairs in my neck reacted as if director Jennifer Kent personally sat behind me and touched them with icy cold fingers.

It's so refreshing to watch a horror film that knows exactly where to strike at you, while not dumbing everything down in the slightest, to cater for the usual teenage PG13 horror film crowd. I can imagine that this film in particular, will disturb parents. This film is made for an adult audience, first and foremost.

Btw, the book in question, is a rather marvelous and deeply uncanny creation. The soundtrack that plays every time the mother investigates its contents, is sublime.

E.T. (1982, remastered/re edited)

*Please note: The following review entails this version of the film, not the original cut.*

Spielberg had to take the George Lucas "touch up" approach to my favorite childhood film of all time. While CGI has taken over modern films, it does not belong in this film. I always enjoyed certain tiny details about films; dialogue, a few seconds of screen time, the score, etc. Some of the scenes and sequences get horribly butchered. I can understand that CGI was needed for the bathroom deleted scene bc there was no puppet available when they originally filmed the scene in the early 80s.  A bad CGI redo was when Gerdie originally meets ET in Elliott's room. I did not see anything wrong with the puppet they originally used when they had their screaming match, but oh well. Same goes with the fridge scene when ET loots it and finds the beer. Nothing wrong with the original, but they redid it anyway. worst of all was the re editing of the historic night sky bike ride scene. I will not go there. As for the remastered/edited dialogue; yikes. Instead of remastering the original dialogue on certain scenes, they re-recorded it so wrong. You can really tell in the quarantine room/outside the house when the gov't comes in. another that really bothered me was when the gov't and Mary (the kids mom) find the van in the playground. The original "No guns! They're children!" was cut out and the music drains over the remaining gov't officials dialogue. Finally, the scene where the kids on the bikes face off against the gov't (near the very end), they cut the few seconds where a guy picks up a shotgun then Elliot closes his eyes. ARGH!

There are good points, however. This is ET afterall! The remastered/re-recorded score is flawless. The deleted scenes (the bathroom/tub scene, Halloween streets with Gerdie and Michael) are great additions to the film and I can see why Spielberg originally cut them. I wish they had remastered the school principal deleted scene (with Harrison Ford), but oh well. The picture is crystal clear and you can see so much more of the background and little details versus the original. Having it in widescreen really adds to the picture too, as some parts you simply could not see in the original, unless you were lucky enough to see it in the theaters.

Overall, the CGI mess is annoying as shit and the dialogue is the same, but aside from those points it is still a great movie.

9/10

Original VHS version:
11/10

I get where Spielberg was coming from with changing the shotguns to walkie talkies.  Perspective comes from age.  He said if he'd made Close Encounters when he was older, Roy wouldn't have abandoned his family and got on the ship.

But I thought he fessed up that making some of the changes to ET was a mistake and changed them back?

Yep, he changed it back for the blu-ray release.
Must.. get.. bluray player... the time has finally come dammit.

Nightbreed the Director's Cut (1990/2014)

You have to hand it to Clive Barker. A man Stephen King once described as the future of horror. Here, he creates another nightmarish dreamscape but turns it on its head and the creatures that inhabit the world of Midian are peaceful and epithetic; a far cry from the sadomasochist creatures from the gore factory Hellraiser.

What is most impressive about Nightbreed is the amount of world building going here. Imagine if you took the troll market scene from Hellboy and added a slight edge to it. The end result would be what was shown here. It's very impressive, and it predates Del Toro and the work he has done.

One of the most deliciously cool aspects about the movie is David Cronenberg as a psychotic f**k hell-bent on destroying the Nightbreed. He wears what looks like a mask similar to Scarecrow but it has buttons for eyes.

It's nice to see Clive Barker's vision full realized and given the treatment it so rightfully deserves.

You are not Boone. You are Cabal/10

Kull the Conqueror

Maybe Red Sonja's terrible-ness just desensitized me, but I found this to be a much easier sit than I anticipated. Oh, don't get me wrong, a lot of it is pretty bad, like a lot of the flat or outright terrible acting, or the overall cheapness of it all. That being said, Kevin Sorbo carries the whole movie on his shoulders, and manages to make it slightly watchable. And I gotta admit, seeing Dr. Whatshisface from Total Recall slathered in makeup and wearing a mesh Nefertiti hat was goddamn hilarious.

Silent Running - A bit slower than I remember, or maybe I was just tired.  Some of the effects look a little dated; Trumbull was still on the then familiar 'clean white spaceship' look, which contrasted with the more progressive 'lived in' interiors.  I think it's main problems are certain story points:

- Why would such an important project be wound up?
- Why the need to nuke the domes?
- Why are they out near Saturn?
- It was immediately obvious that the forest was dying from lack of sunlight - but it took Lowell, a supposed expert, ages to work it out.  And the difference  in the amount of sunlight just either side of Saturn's orbit isn't going to make much difference.

The whole thing could've been avoided by detaching the domes and putting them on permanent orbits around the sun to be tended by programmed drones.

But Dern is good value.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 6/10

I saw it last weekend. I was a big fan of it as a kid, had all the toys and merchandise. But the movie was okay. Megan Fox was great as always. There was a couple of funny lines from the Turtles but I wasn't that keen on the voices, particularly Donatello.

Song of the South (1946) - One of the very few Disney movies that I never grew up with since Disney never put out a home video release. It been almost 70 years since this movie came out and I think it was a pretty good movie. Some of the acting was bad and there was parts of the movie got boring, but Uncle Remus stole the whole show. I also find some of the other main characters pretty enjoyable too expect for the kids mom and those two bullies. The ending was pretty nice too, so I give it a 7/10.

As for the racism in this movie, I can see why some people would be upset about this movie but I don't think the movie is offense as most people make out to be. It's not the best Disney movie ever made, but I do think it's worth checking out. If they can put out that Donald Duck short of him being a Nazi on DVD then I don't think there is any reason why they can't have this movie out on DVD & Blu-Ray.

Interstellar

It has its flaws, and sure it gets pretty far-fetched by the end, but I was absolutely swept away for the majority of the film. The first act could have used some tightening up, though, especially in the long ass base tour where Michael Caine explains a ton of shit to McConnaughey. And I probably could have done with a little less Lithgow as well.

This movie has a lot of "personality" in it and I think Keanu Reeves did a good job . After watching this , Nicholas Cage & Jason Statham's action movies seem like a kindergarten to me .  :laugh:

I was enjoying this until Nolan delivered a mind f**k to the audience during the last act of the film. Also, McConaughey has reached the apex of his career. Excellent performance from him. Space porn of the greatest variety. This may not be Nolan's best film, but it's a damn fine film nonetheless.

Leaving my in about 20 minutes to see it in IMAX ;D

Gonna be my first IMAX film, actually. Seemed like a good choice for a first time.



Interstellar

Loved it, including the last act, which a lot of people seem to be up in arms about.

Spoiler
The fact that he was the "ghost" didn't surprise me, I saw that coming pretty much from the beginning, but I was fully expecting beings transcended beyond mortal confines to be responsible a la 2001. Granted, that kind of was the case, albeit this time the beings are us.

It takes a shitload of force to get things off the planet; the more force you need, the more fuel; the more fuel, the more mass; the more mass, the more fuel, etc. The number of ships, the amount of fuel, the number of trips, etc would be obscene. The data allowed them to work out a way to say "f**k you" to gravity and get a lot of people airborne quickly.

However I didn't like the loose plot threads they left dangling such as the Genisys virus killing Franco's friend, and then it's never touched on again. Thankfully Dawn addressed that in the opening credits with the news reports. It's a fine movie, but I prefer Dawn easily.

I finally watched V for Vendetta the other night. I really frigging enjoyed it. I'd enjoyed what I'd read of the graphic novel but I'd never finished it so I obviously didn't enjoy it that much.

But the film had me quite involved. I love seeing these evil versions of the UK.

Personally, liked the comic a lot more. It started a little shaky, but once Moore figured out where he wanted the series to go, it got fantastic.

What I really liked was that V wasn't really a heroic figure in it. The ending made it seem that he probably made things worse than they had been under the totalitarian regime. Those subtleties and shades of grey were lost in the screen adaptation.

Whiplash (2014)

This was excellent. Imagine if JK Simmons was JJ from Spiderman but crank him up another 20 notches. That's the type of performance he delivered here. The man was ruthless, cruel and demeaning all in the effort to make his students strive to be the best. It's an amazing film that questions how far you're willing to go, how bad do you want something. It can all be yours. Don't doubt yourself and don't let others doubt you.

Hellraiser: Inferno

This might, might, have been a half way decent movie if it had a significant retooling and wasn't chock full of crowbarred in Hellraiser moments. As it stands, it's incredibly boring with a highly unlikeable protagonist, so you just don't give a shit the whole way through. Craig Sheffer deserved better than this and the seasons of One Tree Hill he ended up doing.

And I'll throw in a screenshot of ShadowPred's review, just for funzies:

The original Sin City is a stone cold masterpiece and holds up marvelously today. Thing is, it can't be replicated or emulated at this time without seeming like anything more than a cliche because of how many films it influenced sylistically. It's the clear standout as being the original bar-setter, however, which is why its integrity holds strong.

Honestly, I'm not even sure why they thought a sequel, much more one this late, would work at all.

Alien

Every once in a while, spontaneously, I just get the sudden, irresistible to watch this film again. Tonight was one of those nights. I can practically recite the movie line by line at this point. I know every scene, every shot, every line of dialogue, and yet Alien still manages to scare and thrill and present something new every time I watch it. 

And this may just be one of the best Blu-ray transfers out there. The whole thing just looks and sounds so incredibly modern. It's all so real.

Alien has been one of my favorite movies since the very first time I watched it, and I love it even more today.

I'm probably one of the few Hellraiser fans who doesn't hate this one. The production values are bad, the acting is blah for the most part, and the rushed nature of it all is readily apparent.

The Canyons with Lindsay Lohan and porn star James Deen.

It was a small little indie flick, I thought Lohan and Deen did really good jobs on the movie. Doing some research after, there's a really in depth article on the production and working with Lindsay Lohan.

It's not something that I'd watch over and over again, but this was a solid film (its had some knocks as both director and writer have illustrious CVs and this isn't up there with an "all time great").

I still like the prequels - I know they're not quite the same as the originals but I like the political intrigue, I like the Jedi fights.

Just finished watching episode 3. I stand by previous comments about the prequel trilogy. But Jesus, I hate Palpatine in this.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)

Yup, I loved it. It was just as good as Catching Fire, but obviously a very different film. Jennifer Lawrence once again shone as Katniss and Julianne Moore was a very welcome addition to the cast as President Alma Coin. She made the character a lot more likeable than I remember her from the books. Then again, overall, so far the films have been better than the books.

Natalie Dormer was good, of course, but I wanted more. I don't understand some of the criticism this film has been getting. People who've read the books are saying it ended just as the interesting part was about to happen. The assault on the final districts and the Capitol is certainly heavy on the action (among other things), but I think this film was equally important, setting things up and giving us some really strong character moments and emotional scenes.

I think they ended it on a good note and pretty much where I expected them to. Looking forward to seeing the final chapter.

Pumpkinhead

A fun little paranormal horror/revenge flick. A pretty solid directorial debut for Stan Winston; it's too bad he didn't really ever try to do a bit more directing beyond this. Lance Henriksen is cool as ever, despite not having all that much to say, and I was a fan of Pumpkinhead himself (though I think his initial reveal could have been handled a bit better). The film was at its best during the final act. That's when Pumpkinhead was looking his best and when the film got really atmospheric.

Is Winston's second film worth checking out?

From the Hunger Games thread, re: the latest films -

I saw this on Friday. I really enjoyed the books - unfortunately I can't remember the last book in too much detail, other than getting fedup with the love triangle aspect of it - but I disliked the first film (hated how it pulled its punches) but thoroughly enjoyed the second film. And I really enjoyed this one too.

Yeah, not much happened in terms of action, but it was such an intense and emotionally charged film. I think J-Law is simply fantastic. Her song was wonderful, I thought. And Josh Hutcherson as well - despite his lack of screen time. They both bring some very heavy emotional weight to the film.

It's just a shame it ended where it did. It felt like no time had passed and I could have sat through more. But, of course, I understand why they did it - not to be money grabber - but to give everything the time it needed. I look forward to the next one.

Automata

Well, this was disappointing, to say the least. The actors are all solid at the very least, Antonio Banderas gets to play a fairly interesting character, and the robots are fantastic. Their characterization is pretty good, and the effects work is damn near flawless. There's also some interesting ideas being tossed around, and a couple of scenes are downright inspired.

However, the film is absolutely choked with things that are lifted from other films, and the characters outside of Antonio and the robots are all either stereotypes or don't amount to much. This is especially bad with the pregnant wife, who only exists to provide some utterly forced and unneeded tension in the second half of the film. And then everything just dives off a cliff once the paper thin antagonists enter the picture. They're f**king cartoonishly evil, and utterly trite given the setting.

This movie could have been so much more, and pissed it all away.

Rewatched Jeepers Creepers 2. Pretty good horror flick. First one was better . I'm pissed that the rumor is that pt 3 won't happen because the director, Victor Silva, had legal troubles involving sexual situations with children. Yes Silva should be punished but I wish someone else could pick up the project and bang out a great end to the trilogy. The monster in the series is really spooky and cool.

Independence Day ID4

Still the best guilty pleasure movie, with the greatest speech in cinema.

Release me.../10

I have a weak spot for anything by Devlin and Emmerich. I'm really looking forward to the next one. You'll never beat Stargate for me though.

I'm just watching Amazing Spider-Man 2. I still stand by this film. Garfield is just perfect as Parker and Spidey. As is Emma Stone as Gwen. I think it's got one too many villians but I still love the Amazing films more than Rami's.

I agree with you on ASM2, 100%.

Freak Out

This was actually pretty damn good for a first film. Brad Jones is really good and intense as the serial killer, and some of the other actors pretty good as well. However, the movie is  way too long, with a bunch of incidental conversations that could easily have been cut without losing much. Also, the technical limitations really show, and the lead actress is pretty bad. Still an overall solid and intense film, though.

It's free to watch here (http://www.thecinemasnob.com/freak-out.html) if you're interested.

Yes, the second one kind of went into your average haunted house thriller, but it still was better then most of the jump-scare filled horror films we get every year.

It's still obviously an amateur film, but damn, that was funny, disturbing, and compelling. My only real complaint is that the soundtrack, as kickass as it was, was way too loud in a bunch of scenes. Otherwise, though, great stuff, and a definite step up from Freak Out.

Or underindulged in the theatrical cut? Kingdom of Heaven was balls - until you saw the 4 disc epic cut -- it was a brilliant movie. Maybe this will be the same thing and be more appreciated on DVD?

KiramidHead - when you say it was "choppy" did it feel like there was more that should have come from the scenes ... I really felt this with the second Nolan Batman - it seemed lacking and rushed in places and over drawn out in others, so I really was expecting a director's epic cut for that (it never came, sadly).

A lot of things felt skipped over, like with Turturro going from perfectly fine, to sick, and then dead within a couple scenes, everything to do with Sigourney Weaver felt random, characters were introduced suddenly and dropped just as fast, Moses having a mundane conversation with a woman and then marrying her in the next scene, etc. That sort of thing might be helped by an extended cut.

However, there's a bunch of things I don't think could be fixed. The whole backstory of the Hebrews infants being murdered on Pharaoh's order and Moses being saved from it is glossed over, and very, very quickly summarized by Ben Kingsley, and there's an annoying subplot where Moses starts to lead a slave rebellion, complete with Army of Darkness training montage, only for God to decide their moving too slowly, which leads to the plagues.

He starts out with real short hair getting whipped, then isn't in it for a while. When Moses comes back to Egypt, he looks like he did in the Breaking Bad finale, and there's a few scenes of him watching Moses talk to little boy God but not seeing God. That's more or less it.

Blade Runner: Final Cut, in the cinema.

Screen was completely packed, I arrived early and could only get a seat in the front row. On the plus side, those skyscraping pyramids look even bigger when you're cricking your neck to look up at them. And despite being so full, the audience was totally silent throughout the entire movie (aside from some early sweet packet rustlings).
The effects still look pretty much flawless even when viewed at such an epic scale, and the film just looks thoroughly convincing, CRT screens and prolific smoking notwithstanding.

I'd forgotten what a grisly film it is. One particular scene I can't even bear to watch, but all the rest of the deaths feel so much more powerful and horrible on a giant screen in a dark room with no distractions. But it all ties in to the core theme of mortality's unspeakable horridness.
I think the main reason the audience was so quiet is that the film's so absorbing and thought-provoking. It conveys such a believable and well-realised world, with the music sending shivers down your back, and the storytelling doesn't hold your hand. Lots of themes at work, lots of layers, lots of pathos.

Couple of missteps. One - we're not given much reason to empathise with the androids.
Spoiler
I suppose Deckard and Rachel are supposed to be our emotional touchstones there, but they're coming from a different place - they don't come from a life of slavery, just a false life (assuming Deckard is, etc etc). I think the slavery aspect needed to be depicted on the screen - we're encouraged to experience the Nexus androids' mindset by the end, but showing what they'd escaped from could have elicted empathy much earlier.
[close]
Two - how does Batty know so much about Deckard? He somehow knows exactly whom Deckard has and hasn't personally killed. I'm not sure why he even knows Deckard's name.

Alien (original), Aliens (special edition), and Alien 3 (original).

I really enjoyed this marathon, but I didn't have time for Alien Resurrection so I didn't get that far (maybe tomorrow). In particular with Alien 3 I recall seeing the special edition way more times than the original (once or twice) so that's why I decided to check the original out for Alien 3, and it felt like the movie went by faster and it felt like stuff was skipped because I'm used to the special edition.

Overall, great time.

Aha, almost one sitting, I took like 3-5 hour naps whenever i got tired. It was really cool to see how everything fits together like how Glamdring, Orcrist, and Sting kept changing hands, and to see who was related to who, the little things like that that you probably wouldnt notice if you took big breaks in between the movies.

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

One of the most boring movies I've seen in a while. Way too long and there were still plenty of characters that needed more screen time or development. I would have liked to see someone else than Bale as Moses. He had pretty much zero charisma. You know it's bad when you're rooting for the Egyptians and not the slaves. There weren't any characters among the slaves that got any time except for Moses himelf.

I watched a really cheap English movie called "He Who Dares" which is (unsurprisingly) about the SAS. The logline calls it "Die Hard meets The Raid" and that much is true. However, it's Die Hard meets The Raid on a budget of 50p.

Some of the performances were good, some were awful and the script was patchy, I thought. Reading reviews, you'd think that everyone hated the film but I was surprised to see that there's a sequel (He Who Dares: Downing Street Mission).

The best thing about HWD 1 was the ever watchable Zara Pyhthian - I don't know why she's not a bigger star than she is to be honest.

Definitely recommend this book if you don't already have it:

It can be found for more reasonable prices, but the book is gorgeously detailed/illustrated essential reading for any fan of the film and Skull Island (which I think is one of the best realized fictional locations in film).

I kinda caught off guard for how awesome this was. I mean it got little to no marketing and I heard good things through word of mouth, from a few people on here. It plays like a straight up 80s thriller. From the credits, to the music to the ruggedly handsome lead who turns full on psycho during the last act. This was great, you dont see too many like this any more. By the same guys that did You're Next. They got another winner on their hands.

Captain America: The First Avenger

This is really fast paced. I wish it was a little bit longer so, so it could slow down a bit and expand on some of the many concepts it introduces. Certain things feel like they are only glossed over when they could have been given more of a focus. Still, a very fun entry in Marvel's ever-expanding universe, and it is always a pleasure to revisit it.

Abraham Setrakian would have totally owned Red Skull, though.

Theory Of Everything.

Its focus felt a little disjointed - it didn't make the most of Stephen Hawking as a centrepiece, almost completely missing his characteristic wit, humility and sense of humour. And it didn't feel like a wholly honest portrayal of the couple's relationship (which takes the centre stage in the film), with the wife generally feeling rather saintly. Some motivations felt sketchily defined, too. All these issues probably stem from the script being based on the former Mrs Hawking's autobiography.

So the main aspect I took away from it was as a portrayal of the great hardships of living with motor neuron disease, and the will to conquer it. It's not a bad film by any means, I just felt it could, and should, have been a lot more. Acting performances are stellar, as you'd expect in a prestige film like this; Eddie Redmayne's fully transformed.

If you can only see one Oscar contending biopic about a troubled English genius this year, I'd suggest The Imitation Game without hesitation, but this one's worth a look.

They're reaching with this one. And it shows. Sadly this is the worst one with a plot so dumb that all you could do is check your watch and wait until it's over. There is an unrated cut buried here somewhere because this is one hell of a choppy film. The fights, gun battles, everything about it really are very disappointing. It seems they're never going to be able to catch the raw intensity of the original film. That was lighting in a bottle.

If there is any good to come out of this, it's that the trailer for Run All Night was great.

American Sniper

I had been looking forward to this movie for awhile, mainly because I'm a Bradley Cooper fan and Clint Eastwood can sometimes direct a really good movie. Cooper gives a stellar performance, not his best, but top 3 definitely, I would say I would be surprised if he didn't get nominated for an Oscar, but there's way too much competition this year, however I hope he does. The action scenes are great, it's gritty and seemingly realistic. I've never been in war but rather then usual action movies where soldiers are screaming and shooting and running, the soldiers in this film keep their calm as much as possible as they face against opposing forces that outnumber them most of the time throughout the film. I really enjoyed this movie, however I felt the last 20 minutes were so rushed, like it was trying to get to the end when I wasn't ready for it. The ending is alright, nothing special, I felt it could have had a much better ending. I feel like they never really resolve the marriage problems on screen well enough, they just become estranged and then fall in love again out of nowhere. Anyways, it's a solid film with a great performance from Cooper, nobody else stands out because there all relatively unknown actors aside from Sienna, who plays his wife, and she did pretty good for the at-home-preganant-worried wife. I'll give it a B+.

The 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street last weekend. Not one I was planning on. For some reason my girlfriend picked it out of my collection. I was somewhat surprised since she usually doesn't handle horror movies well, and the fact that she chose to see the remake as opposed to the original 1984 classic version (which I obviously prefer). I'll say what I've generally said before about it. I don't think Haley was bad in the role, although his version and the way it was written came off a lot more flat on screen compared to Englund's. But if anything he was actually one of the very few redeeming elements of the film. He obviously had fun doing it (watch behind the scenes), and he had fair amount of charisma (just not Englund's magic). I really do not like Rooney Mara as Nancy. Not just because I prefer Langenkamp by thousands of miles, but also the fact that Mara herself has said she despises taking the role, and is truly ungrateful. Some even have the feeling that she purposely turned in a dull and wooden performance. She easily may have given her attitude, but either way I doubt she would have been much better with or without more effort. The dream sequences while having the right tone, were completely unimaginative and felt lazy. The part of the story where they have you think that potentially Krueger was innocent is interesting and intriguing, but is ultimately pointless. Also I would have made Cassidy's "Kris" and Dekker's "Jesse" our leads over Mara's "Nancy" and Gallner's "Quentin" as they were able to show just a bit of chemistry as a couple instead of the dull duo we got. Quentin and Nancy had almost no chemistry together both because of what I talked about regarding Mara's performance earlier, and just the fact that Gallner did not do well in general either. The ending "fight" felt anti-climatic and way too short, especially opposed to the final chase/fight sequence in the original. That was clever, intense and fun where as the remake version fell flat. Although Nancy's mother's death was better in this version, it doesn't really do anything for the rest of the movie.

Had myself an Oscar binge, here's a few tid bits of my thoughts about these movies.

Selma
Truly powerful and moving film, with a powerhouse performance from David Oyelowo, they don't lie when they say he has transformed into Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., because it's fact. Every time he was on the screen he owned the role. The rest of the cast did pretty good, I especially enjoyed Common and Carmen Ejogo. Really couldn't find any faults with this movie, I was moved. All kinds of emotions during the scenes where these people were being physically and verbally beaten by the racist citizens of the town. I could see myself buying this movie on Blu-Ray, I'm hoping for some great bonus material. 10/10 from me.

Whiplash
Holy crap. I had heard good things, great things actually, and wow, spot on. Not only did Miles Teller really step his game up and give a gripping lead performance, he had the terrifying J.K. Simmons on his ass owning this film with every word. Both characters were so interesting, I loved every scene in this movie, every line, I felt the anxiety of Tellers character because of Simmons bringing so much terror to that role. I found myself respecting Fletcher, out of fear, and admiring Andrew Neeman for his passion to be the greatest. That final scene, hell ever scene where Teller is banging those drums and Simmons is degrading him to less then nothing was heart-pounding. One of my favorite movies of all time, it truly is. 10/10. Simmons is taking that Oscar.

Birdman
Well, such an odd film. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first saw the trailer and after watching it I'm really not sure how I feel about it. Keaton, Norton, Galifanakis, and Stone all did wonderfully. The cinematography and script were all phenomenal, as was the direction of this entire film. I did laugh a bit, and I was a bit tripped out on certain scenes, it was a very original movie, very unique. I might have to watch it a couple of more times to really figure out how I feel about this movie, but I do realize why it received the critical reception it got. Keaton really came out of nowhere and gave an Oscar worthy performance. Good for him. As of now I'll give this movie a 7.5/10.

Foxcatcher
I had been very curious of this movie for a long time, Carell being the main point of my curiosity. The tone of this film is eerie and creepy, Carells transformation as Du Pont is incredible, his performance is career defining and changing. Ruffalo is wonderful as always, seriously everything I've ever seen him in he does great. If it wasn't for J.K. Simmons in Whiplash I think Ruffalo would've had a real shot at winning. Chaning Tatum may have shut the haters up about not being an actor, because he changed my opinion about him completely. All three of them shined in their roles throughout this movie, a Greek tragedy of sorts, a finely directed movie with amazing acting. 9/10.

Currently watching the Imitation Game.

I was really hoping it would be good but I haven't heard much praise for it besides your typical awesome Mann shootout scene that doesn't happen until way later in the film. I'll have to redbox it when it comes out, but I don't plan on seeing it in theaters if most of my friends and especially you FB aren't impressed. If FB doesn't approve, I don't either.

UPDATE.

The Imitation Game
Very compelling performances from Cumberbatch as well as Knightley, I found her very attractive in this movie for some reason. The story had me very interested, the race against time to crack the code. Not bad, not a bad movie at all, I'm really happy this guy is going to be our Doctor Strange, he is a very talented actor and I'm glad the MCU has him. His acting in this film is top notch, I tip my hat to this guy, Cumberbatch you're the man. 8/10.

Felt really great watching this for the 25th anniversary. It's actually been a while since I've seen it (probably a year and a half or so), so sitting down to watch it again was like hanging out with old friends for the first time in a while. This is just one of those films that I will always go back to and embrace the way I did as a child. A wonderful cast of oddball characters, excellent creature effects that still hold up perfectly today, and a fantastic sense of 50s monster movie fun with a bit of a modern twist.

I love this movie.

Hemsworth was alright. My problem with it was the villain and his "goal" it was kinda of dumb and he didn't feel threatening at all. There was one cool shoot out at a shipping yard and that's about it.

John Wick (2014)

A very entertaining action film. Reeves is awesome and Adrianne Palicki is dangerously hot. The action was solid throughout the film, but some of the sound effects could have needed a bit more bite to them (Wick's guns especially). The villains were pretty weak. I actually felt kind of sorry for Theon and Nyqvist didn't come off as very threatening. The closest thing we came to a good villain was Ivan's right hand man. That guy actually got the upper hand on Wick most of the times and was genuinely dangerous.

Tales from Earthsea

So Ghibli basically took elements from the first four Earthsea books, added a few original ideas, and stitched them together into a Frankenstein-esque mess of a movie. It doesn't help matters any that there's a lot of Tehanu in here, and I f**king hated that book. The voice acting and animation were nice, though. Daltonator FTW.

A pretty decent action flick. David is a poor man's Ryan Gosling, but I suppose he worked well enough for this role.

An ex-government agent trained in deadly martial arts enlists the help of his African American war buddy (also trained in deadly martial arts) to rescue his kidnapped wife from an evil hotel owner who rules over a private army of inept rollerskating ninjas.

Honestly, I've made worse impulse purchases.

Lincoln (2012)

I saw this in class and quite enjoyed it. I don't know much about Lincoln, but Daniel Day-Lewis delivered a terrific performance (once again) and the supporting cast was excellent as well. The story is centered around Lincoln's last four months as president and the debate around the Thirteenth Amendment. A lot of politics in this, but it never got boring.

Finally got to see this and wow, I really loved this movie. It's so much fun and it also has a lot of heart. The action is insane and really entertaining. Even the human characters were interesting to watch. Normally I would get rather bored by the human stories in these Kaiju movies but here it all worked together just fine. Great movie. Looking forward to see it again.

DeepStar Six.

It's nice to see a monster movie I haven't seen before and hails back to the 80's kinds of monster flicks. Though I wouldn't rate it as highly as something like Tremors or Alien, it was an enjoyable watch, something fresh considering I had no idea what to expect while on the other hand I'm so "conditioned" to  Tremors or Alien.

I then had a particular interest in the monster itself afterwards and I started reading up on what it could possibly be, a giant "sea scorpion", of which in real life all went extinct during the Permian-Triassic extinction event, Earth's largest ever extinction event with 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrae species becoming extinct. Plankton was 1% away from being extinct, snails 2% away.

Nah, the thing is totally fictitious; probably a crustacean of sorts (it's like a cross between a bobbit worm, a mantis shrimp and a lobster). I love the way the mouth splits open.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Crazy Rich on Jan 30, 2015, 01:57:59 PM
Yea it is fictitious and it's no doubt a crustacean, and looking back at a still shot of the creature it's not quite a match but there are some things about it that do make me think "sea scorpion".

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgo2add.com%2Fimages%2Feurypterids%2Fimage001.jpg&hash=3d868bfd19e085f679a8850ba327cd7dbbf1c791)

It was pointed out as a possibility on the wikipedia page, then researching them then thinking about things like how the creature moved while on board made me lean towards the idea that there was some inspiration. I'm also seeing lobster, mantis shrimp, and bobbit worm, in fact that actually describes it better than the wikia page does in my opinion, just "possibly a giant eurypterid".

Yea, the way the mouth moves is something I liked too, interesting as a creature in general.

"88" (2015) starring Katharine Isabelle, Christopher Lloyd
In general and overall it was brilliant! April Mullen's directing was really unique and well thought, as were the visuals, camera work, cinematography, etc. The back and forth between the two "realities" was a bit confusing at first, but oh my god it all ended up tying together so beautifully by the end! The action was fun, stylized, and unpredictable. The humor was cleverly implemented, and each member of the cast was for the most part spot on! Christopher Lloyd was menacing yet layered, while for practically the entire running time our starring actress Katharine Isabelle was a shining star! I really think she put a lot of effort into her role as "Gwen", and absolutely proved once again her incredibly wide range when it comes to her acting abilities. She can be badass, funny as hell, a good victim, dramatic, and everything else in between! She also showcased her ability to show such great, raw and powerful emotions that are so key yet so rare! Never do I doubt Katie, as time and time again she shows me why she is my absolute favorite actress/actor in general of all time! "88" is one of my new favorites of hers, and am so proud and excited to have this as a part of my collection!

8.5 or closer to a 9/10...The only bit problems I had with this film are that I think the jump between both realities happened a little too often, it could be confusing for a little bit (I think it was meant to be though), the only character you truly care about is "Gwen" (Katharine Isabelle) although Lloyd's "Cyrus" was getting up there by the end of it, and the ending's revelation wasn't completely unexpected or a HUGE surprise yet still well handled/effective with the characters involved, and it was still very well written.

Jupiter Ascending
4/5

Utterly mad, mind-bogglingly visionary, spectacularly pretty - in many ways, it's Flash Gordon for the 21st century.

Some lines are so are-they-serious? ridiculous that I had to bury my face in my arms to prevent myself literally screaming with laughter in the cinema. It's the funniest film I've seen in years, and you're never entirely sure if it's intentional or not. And that's for the best - a lot of the humour comes from the performances being SO earnest in contrast to what's actually being said.

Aside from the sheer madness, the other big reason to see it is how jaw-droppingly gorgeous it all looks. It looks like it was made with a budget of infinity - with the exception of a couple of Earth-bound scenes, every shot has flawless CGI, a complex set or hilariously elaborate outfits. And it's not just the quality of the effects, it's also the visionary *rightness* of the designs. It's the most eye-popping production of the year by a long shot.

Jupiter Ascending won't be for everyone - during the first 15 minutes, I didn't "get it" at all and was considering walking out of the theatre, but ended up thoroughly enjoying it. It basically depends on how you feel about finding comedy in random weirdness.

By the end, my one sore point was the action sequences. Seems a strange thing for the directors of some of the finest fight scenes in cinema history, but all of them are a complete mess. No suspense, choppy editing, no pacing, anticlimactic resolutions. They're actually boring, in a film which otherwise - for certain tastes at least - is riveting.

Elysium

On the whole, it was... okay. There were far too many missed opportunities and undercooked elements for it to be as good as it could have been. That being said, Kruger was f**king awesome. Him and all of the badass shit in the last twenty or so minutes elevated the film a fair bit. I was disappointed with how quickly that last fight scene went by, though. Dat sword wasn't used nearly enough, either. ;)

Side note, what the f**k was going on with Jodie Foster's accent in this? Even Copley's South African throat gargling wasn't as weird as that. :laugh:

Oldboy (2013)

Well, that was mediocre. There's two or three parts that are really well done, but the rest felt like a Cliffs Notes version of a script, and so many scenes were hurried through. Most of the performances are fine, but Sam Jackson phones it in (and really doesn't sell the torture scene), and Sharlto Copley felt like he was from a completely different movie. I'm curious as to what Spike Lee's original, longer cut was like, but this just wasn't very good.

Maps to the Stars

David Cronenburg's body of work has always fallen between bizarre and flat out insane. Maps to the Stars falls safely in the middle. It's a beautifully crafted satirical view on Hollywood and the egocentrics that populate it. In some ways the film is like a ticking time bomb with our cast of characters slowly venturing down paths of self-destruction and recklessness. I enjoyed this very much, hell loved it actually. Julianne Moore was great as an aging movie star haunted by the sexual abuse of her mother whilst trying to play her mother in an upcoming remake of a film. Also I have to hand it to John Cusack who in recent years has done a fantastic job playing creepy psychopaths.

Cold in July

I was really enjoying this, but it wasn't until Don Johnson stepped into the picture, this film took on a whole new level. Stylishly cool, it's a perfect little crime thriller set within the back drop of 80s East Texas. It's almost a great companion piece to The Guest.

They Live (1988) - Classic Carpenter  ;D MTV should give this movie an all time "Best Fight Sequence Award" ;) Love this movie.

Foxcatcher (2014) - So far I like all Bennet Miller movies. This one is another great addition to his filmography. Slow burning drama, with little dialog but it's tense from start to finish. And great acting from everyone involved. Steve Carell, wow! I didn't know he had it in him, fantastic performance.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014) - I haven't  read the book but I could feel that it was just act one stretched across two hours  ::) It's the weakest part of the series. J-Law can act and she's good in this one to, but there's just not enough substance in this movie.

Run All Night

This was really f**king good and a welcomed change of pace after the downright deplorable Taken 3. This time around Liam Neeson plays Jimmy "Gravedigger" Conlon; an Irish hitman who's living out his later days boozing. What I liked so much about this is how retro it feels. In many ways it feels like urban crime films of the 70s whilst also capturing certain aesthetics of the 80s. Both Neeson and Ed Harris are the two best things about the film. You get a sense that these guys have been friends for decades and it all comes to a screeching halt when Conlon kills Shawn's son.

Interstellar

Anyone who wasn't 100% on board with the film after their first viewing should definitely give it a second watch, it gets better with each viewing in my opinion. Such a visual masterpiece, and you kind of accept the story, since you know it's coming and it isn't such a curve ball anymore.

8.5/10

Furious 7 (probably my first in-depth review so don't judge to much, just really had to talk about this movie.)

Just got back from this, and I've been a fan of these films since the first one was released all of those years ago, and as a fan I've seen them all in theaters. The first 4 films had many issues, brainless car movies with half naked women and ridiculous plots only smart enough to somehow get us to the next race scene, but Fast Five changed the franchise for the better, it became one of the action franchise peaks of the current film age. Furious 6, while not as fresh and amazing as the film before it, still upped the ante of stunts, fights, action, and special effects, ladies and gents, Furious 7, has repeated this feat. Now, before I get into my review I want to make something clear from the bottom of my heart, if you aren't a fan of the films, if Fast Five didn't even make you a fan, then just stay away from this movie because your negative comments are just not needed. Do yourself and others the favor and go see some indie micro budget film to critique or whatever, leave this gem alone. Now, to my review, I will do my best to steer away from spoilers but there are certain things I want to discuss, so, as a special warning just in case, if you don't mind potentially getting spoiled certain plot points or action scenes, read, but do not fear, I will not reveal how they handle Walker at the end. Here I go :

Spoiler
Furious 7 is exactly what this year needed to kick off the summer, over the top, cartoonish, exciting, macho action. The cast is smaller, but they keep the amazing chemistry from the last two movies. Now, the plot isn't great, but it works in a way that gets our characters from setpiece to setpiece. I was pumped the entire film, I wanted to punch the person next to me from all the testosterone I was feeling. Jason Statham is established as a badass in the first scene, we know he's a threat. We learn our characters are adjusting to a life without bullets firing at them, and Brian O'Connor is having the most trouble, trading in his Skyline for a Mini-Van, which gives us a hilarious scene. Statham's character basically acquires the info needed to locate the team who took down his brother, after a brutal fight with The Rock, which lands Hobbs in the hospital. After a brutal first meeting between Vin Diesel and Statham we are introduced to Kurt Russel's Mr. Nobody, a black ops agent who offers the team a deal, find a hacker with technology known as God's Eye, a device which can locate anyone, anywhere, after they find it, he will let them use it to find Shaw and take him down. Of course this is all they need to get us to our first big action scene.

There are 3 major action scenes, and a nice little warehouse scene in between the second and third act. All of them are fantastic. Look, we know what to expect, physics being completely ignored, realism tossed out the window, and insane stunts. James Wan does a great job of directing the action, while Lin may have been a bit better, Wan definitely shows he is more than capable to take over the franchise. Statham makes a great villain, the franchise's first great villain. One of the biggest positive points of this movie besides the action is the chemistry between the main characters, you can tell they are all really good friends off the camera, which helps the humor and really makes us believe they care about each other.

Now, for the issues, the film makes a point that they need this God's Eye device to find Statham, however Staham's character is constantly showing up to foil their plans, which kind of makes this tech pretty useless if all they have to do is wait outside for Shaw to come and find them. Another big let down were 3 characters being underused in my opinion, The Rock is missing from the entire second act and only returns in the last maybe 25 minutes of the movie. His scenes are all highlights though. Also Tony Jaa and Djimonn Hounsou have relatively minor roles, but Jaa has an awesome fight scene with Walker in the second act. Other than that, I really had no issues with the movie.

One issue, well not an issue, just a personal problem, is this ominous feel of death throughout the movie, it's heartbreaking to know that Walker is truly gone, and there at least 2 instances where he almost dies, and it just makes you think even more about his tragic death. I have to give Wan props though, they really achieved a great deal by completing this movie and making it so good, there are scenes where you may be able to tell when there is CGI used or doubles, but it isn't obvious unless you look for it. The handling of his character at his end is perfect, I was actually in tears, it's a shame he is gone but what they did to give him a proper send off was perfect. Please, if you see the movie, clap at the end, out of respect for a great man.

The entire cast brought their A-Game, Kurt Russel was so believable as this wise-cracking, bad-ass Nick Fury type agent, the comedy is great, it's actually a very funny movie. The Rock is easily the king of one-liners. I look forward to seeing where they go with the franchise, should they choose to continue it. Please everyone, support the film. It's great, it's fun, go have a good time and say goodbye to Paul Walker, it may be his last ride, but he'll always been remembered by the charisma and greatness he brought to these movies. 8.5/10

Mimic- Director's Cut

This was actually rather good, even if the pacing feels completely off and one of the characters pulls a Dr. Loomis and survives a massive point blank gas explosion to the face. Well, that and the most interesting ideas del Toro had for the movie are nowhere to be seen.

And holy shit, that Norman Reedus cameo. :laugh:

Just finished Furious 7, I gotta say that ending powerful. For a movie with non stop action through and through I was surprised when I found a lump in my throat at the very end, very touching tribute to Paul Walker. No I did not cry, I refuse to let the first time I cry in a movie be to a Wiz Khalifa song, no matter how awesome it was.

Damn, how could I forget that quote?  :laugh: Gotta watch it again when I get the chance !

About Time (2013)

   Not my type of movie, but I liked it.

       8.5/10

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

  Liked how they managed to connect their future films (and also GoTG 2) with it. I felt Ultron was not given enough time in the movie because I really liked him (not the same mad robot from the comics). It was a bit under the first one, I must say.

      For the sake of Ultron, 7/10  :P
 
  EDIT: An Act of War (2015)

      Managed to recreate a noir movie atmosphere while still feeling new. Had a few plot holes which I didn't understand but it's ok.A good pshycological movie which shows the real war is not on the battlefield, but back in society.
     
      Thought it would be an action movie by looking at the poster. I was SO wrong.

The Matrix Trilogy.

Watched all three films (as well as some of the shorts from Animatrix) for the first time in years. With the advancements in special effects over the past 15 years I dont think I'll ever be as wowed by a blockbuster as I was when I first saw The Matrix back in 1999. We've became saturated with countless films at the box office with brilliant special effects since the 90's and its getting harder and harder to come up with something audiences haven't seen. The Matrix didn't have this problem and coupled with a mind bending plot and some of the coolest action scenes ever put on film its no surprise it was such a huge hit. I suppose the closest we've came to a big budget "intelligent" action blockbuster that grabbed audiences attention like this was Inception (which is actually quite a similar premise when you think about it). That last half hour of The Matrix though is still one of the best bits of action cinema ive ever seen. So many brilliant moments and iconic scenes that still get me excited to this day. It was just one mind blowing set piece after another with barely a let up.

And then we come.to the two sequels 4 years later. In the time since every other action film was copying the matrix and the likes of Charlies Angels had Cameron Diaz flying around in bullet time. Countless cheap knock offs had made diminished our enjoyment of this kind of film. Even though I still enjoy both Reloaded and Revolutions theyre terrible in comparison with the first film. Especially Revolutions which abandons alot of the main characters for huge chunks of the film to focus on a few minor characters from Reloaded. On top of that aside from Neos final confrontation with Smith, theres one very short action scene inside The Matrix. For a film with The Matrix in the title that was ridiculous. People going to see a Matrix want to actually see some cool shit happen, you know, in the matrix itself. Not an hour of minor characters shooting at robotic squids.

Im not saying they shouldn't have showed the fight for Zion but it didnt need to take up half of the film only to give us a fight with Smith right at the end and people suddenly remembered it was a Matrix film again. Anyway looking back at these two films years after the disappointment the first time I saw them, I still enjoyed them more than I did previously. Theyre quite clearly just a sequence of excuses to give us some cool stuff to happen in the matrix and I will say boy did we get them. Reloaded in particular has some brilliant stuff in there. The fight in the château on the stairs and the highway scene are brilliant. As good as anything we got in the first film. Its just a shame the story was thread bare and the whole thing felt like a videogame. Oh we need to see the oracle. Why? We just do ok. Right now we need a keymaker? Why? We just do ok. If we didnt we would need an excuse for Trinity to drive the wrong way down a motorway on a bike.

Watching them.both together Revolutions doesnt seem nearly as bad I remembered it. Its clearly one film anyway like Kill Bill just split into two. I genuinely think they would have been alot better if they were edited down into one long 3 hour movie rather than the 4 hours and 20 minutes split into two that we actually got. Theres alot of unnecessary filler in Reloaded and the first half hour of Revolutions isnt even necessary at all and the actual battle for Zion could be drastically cut without losing any of its impact.

Overall alot of fun watching all three together, but its a shame the quality decreases with each film.

The Devils

So here I am, thinking, this is pretty good, Oliver Reed is awesome as usual, he f**ks a medieval Harley Quinn, fights a dude with a f**king stuffed crocodile, just f**king cool in general. And then the movie went f**king insane in so many ways, I can't even begin to describe it. Redgrave is both terrifying and fantastic her role, and the supporting cast is pretty solid. My only complaint is that the enema obsessed witch hunter looked way too 70s for the time period, like he was trying to be John Lennon or some shit. I'm definitely curious to see what Ken Russell did with The Lair of the White Worm now, especially considering how bat shit the original novel is.

Oh, and now I want to see a spoof of a certain scene from this, only using a Buddy Christ statue from Dogma instead of a crucifix. :laugh:

So I brought the Mad Max trilogy on Blu-ray on Friday. Watched them last night after I got back from the weekend adventure. The first one I did enjoy but it wasn't quite what I was expecting having only seen the new one. The Road Warrior was certainly what I was expecting. Fantastic film. I can definitely see what people are saying when they say Fury Road is the Trucker scene from 2, extended out into a whole film. Really good films, really enjoyed the experience.

300: Rise Of An Empire. I...I...Enjoyed this. Didnt expect to but I did. Probably more so than the first film. The first film was so macho and hoorah and despite the very stylised comic book feel it felt too serious. This sidequel (is that a word?) just embraces how ridiculous it is and runs with it. Oh and Eva Green. Absolutely steals the show. Just wow. Kind of hoping for a third film taking off from where the first film ends now.

I dunno, it was cray cray man, but all-in-all it was a really fine JP film I suppose. It was better than JP3, but about the same as JP2 lol.

Jurassic World.  Met expectations.

And before that, I saw Alien and Aliens with my girlfriend.  We had an agreement beforehand on complete honesty in regards to her opinions, her knowing they're some of my favorite films ever.  And she liked them both quite a bit, which is awesome.

I myself haven't seen both movies since May 25th of 2014.  Alien has been my favorite, but I almost forgot just HOW great and intense Aliens is.  Sometimes it's overrated, but when I think about that too much, I start to underrate it...and forget that it is an absolutely kick-ass movie.  I love em both so much.  Also my girlfriend.

It's awesome to be able to share like that. I played my ladyfriend my modified versions of certain Nine Inch Nails songs, that I've poured hours of work and uncountable units of thinking and feeling time into, and the response was "I don't like his voice, this sucks". Sex was not immediately forthcoming.


Anyway, just got back from the cinema, seeing The Terminator, which had a one-day re-release locally. My verdict:

23:22 - |iG| Vertigo: SO MOTHERf**kING GOOD
23:22 - |iG| Vertigo: it just enhances it ***SO*** much
23:23 - |iG| Vertigo: it looks SO good, it sounds SO good
23:23 - |iG| Vertigo: it feels cool and different and unique even by the time the opening credits start playing
23:24 - |iG| Vertigo: and having it playing in this inescapable dark room on a giant screen with loads of people telegraphing their emotions, it becomes this enthralling roller coaster ride of horror and excitement
23:25 - |iG| Vertigo: also helps that it's a film that leaves itself so readily open to interpretation and analysis, so you're thinking about it while you're watching it, and it doesn't matter that i've seen it a bunch of times before, at all

10/10 experience. If it ever plays at a theatre near you, don't miss it. This is the way it needs to be seen, in my opinion.

This one holds up incredibly well, given the time it was made.

This was everything I wanted it to be. It provides a fascinating look at a Superman movie that almost was, and contains a lot of interesting information and amazing artwork. And this may sound really strange, but I'm now pretty much sold on the idea of Nic Cage as Superman. Seeing him move around in the test costumes just had a certain something to it.

Evolution (2001) - I haven't seen this movie since 2001 when it came out on VHS. Nearly 15 years later, my opinions on this movie are mixed. Sure it's a fun movie, but I do find some parts rather boring and most of the movie does not hold up very well to me. The CG in this movie looked good back then, now it looks like crap. Some of the jokes do fall flat and there are things in this movie make no sense.

I do admit that David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones, and Sean William Scott have perfect team chemistry. They all work great together and I still love the creature designs in this movie. 6/10

Ant-Man

I honestly kind of loved this movie. After the last several MCU films expanding the universe and turning things on their heads, it was refreshing to have a simple, back to basics superhero movie. My only issue is that they had the foundation for a really interesting villain, but it wasn't elaborated on enough to really make the hero/villain dynamic stand out. Corey Stoll f**king killed it, though. The way he calmly puts his hand on a guy's shoulder with every intention of killing him later... damn.

Chappie

Finally got around to seeing it, you know I'm a big fan of Neill Blomkamp and I really wanted to like this film which I did for the most part but man some scenes really didn't sit well with me. At moments I felt the movie was losing focus, is this a film about the group Die Antwoord, Chappie, AI and or putting our consciousness into a machine? I feel as if Neil Blomkamp has ran out of ideas to milk his ghetto, graffiti, sci-fi action, south African universe that he is so very much obsessed with.

I couldn't help but feel the movie was quite unoriginal. Tons of scenes and imagery screams Robocop, a few plot twists felt a bit like Blade Runner with the whole machine not built to last the machine all bent out of shape because it wants to live. The whole transfer of consciousness to a vessel that looks just like you near the end, Avatar anyone?

Either way entertaining for sure, it started off really well, but near the end things got really silly for me.

I can get into so much detail to why I didn't like this film and what I would have done with this film if I had the same budget, hard R, violent as hell and a villain you're absolutely terrified of, but I'll just say this instead... I can't believe how much time as gone by since T2, that all three directors have failed to do what James Cameron has done. They just don't get it...

Ben-Hur

I've been trying to brush up on my classic movie watching. Ben Hur was, at the time, the most expensive film ever produced, including some of the most batshit insane sets, props, and extras the civilized world had ever seen. They really spared no expense. It was also a remake of a 1925 silent film, lol, which goes to show you that remakes don't always have to be shit.

Anyway, Charlton Heston plays one of the most dashing Jews this side of Sigmund Freud, and the film has as many powerful performances and rich, sweaty drama as it does jaw-dropping spectacles. They really did all that shit, and it makes me cry computer-generated tears in front of this low-budget greenscreen cartoon existence we now call reality.

My final opinion of the film is...        ...   Overture

Really? That's interesting. I enjoyed Rise, but the CG monkey bugged me. I was very surprised at how awesome the Dawn apes managed to be. The CGI was mostly excellent and the, uh, acting from them was very good. I actually liked them more than the people. :P

In Rise, I cared as much about Will and his father as I did about Caesar. Here, the humans consisted of lead guy, doctor woman, black guy, and asshole.

And honestly, I don't have the same knee jerk reaction to CG that the rest of the internet seems to have. If the story is good enough, I don't care.

I didn't mind the human characters, but maybe that's because I was so blown away by those simians and their drama.

I personally wouldn't call being critical of CGI 'knee jerk' since we've been getting handed cheaply-made, overused CGI for a few decades now, but I get what you're saying about the internets. Eloquence isn't exactly its strong suit.

   Good movie, the complicated plot is explained nicely, so you can understand even if you didn't watch the other movies (though there are a lot of references to them). Arnie played his excellent role as always. Some cool quotes, but lacks any emotion.

It's wonderful isn't it.  I originally took my nephews to see it but I think I enjoyed it more than they did.  I haven't laughed/cried that much in a long time

Stuck In Love

Josh Boone's debut movie, charming, sweet, funny little indie romance movie.  Kinnear and Connelly are excellent as always, but Nat Woolfe steals the show.

The Way, Way Back.  Sam Rockwell made a great movie even better.  Brilliant coming of age drama, I highly recommend it to everybody

I do love Highlander. If they do get round to rebooting it, they need to do it right. I'd have James Mcavoy as Connor and either Javier Bardem or Antonio Banderas as Ramirez.

Watched Highlander 2 : Special Edition last night. Essentially the renegade version with up to date special effects

The Conjuring

I honestly don't understand what all the hype was about, yeah it was pretty spooky sometimes but wasn't really downright terrifying. Seriously, if you've seen one James Wan horror movie you've seen them all. Not saying it was bad, it was actually pretty good, it was just more of the same. And why do all James Wan ghosts look the same, blue-ish looking with faces that exaggerate emotion? What ever happened to ghosts being semi-transparent, floating and moaning apparitions?

However, I am glad they chose that time period for the final chapter and it worked well. The Doc's last words of wisdom are true for all. 8/10

Interstellar. It's a hell of a lot better than I remember it being, guess it benefits from repeat viewing. Knowing the story, I was able to go along with it a lot more, when originally I'd spent most of the running time mentally nitpicking (and I'm not a natural nitpicker).
My only serious complaint this time is that Dr Mann's motivation and goal were ill-defined. Other than that, it's just fantastic - such a smart story, affecting performances, timeless production design and effects, by far Zimmer's best score for a long time. It's my new favourite Nolan film.

The Prophecy with Christopher Walken, Eric Stolz and Viggo Mortenson. This was a really enjoyable dark film. Mortenson, played a really creepy version of Lucifer and ended perfectly.

The Prophecy 2 with Christopher Walken, Brittany Murphy and Eric Roberts. This is a pointless sequel in my opinion. Sure there was one good plot strand and the interplay between Murphy and Walken was good, but considering how they say angels can be killed in the first one, they pretty much go against it to bring one character back and then they bring another character back which goes against his story just to kill him. May still watch the third one just to see what happens next.

I have a different version of the Prophacy that was released in Brazil.  It's a better cut than the theatrical version.  The tital of the this version is called God's Army.

Leviathan if I'm honest.  Ron Cobb's designs and Stan Winston's creations win hands down.

This was a lot of fun, but the second act felt like it dragged on a bit. But hey, it's a movie about badass blind guy avenging his seeing eye dog after it gets killed by a werewolf, the premise is awesome alone.

^ Yeah, I figured the next four would be more than enough (I think there are 9 overall CotC films). Knowing the next 4 were from the 1990s, I thought there may be a dash of worthwhileness somewhere. Seems that CotC III on bluray is very rare, maybe it's the diamond in the rough ;)

Just watched Childs Play (1988). Looking back at the puppeteering, it was at or near the highest quality before computers came in. I miss this greatly.

a solid 8/10

Halloween 3: Still my favorite of the Halloween sequels. It's just so crazy and out there that I can't help but love it

Halloween 4: I consider this to be a more than adequate follow up to the events of Halloween II. It's not perfect, but I have a lot of fun with it

Halloween 5: Yikes. This one is just... dull. They kill off one of the main characters from in a really dumb way about ten minutes in, you have dumbass cops who are accompanied by cartoon sound effects, and most of the characters are just annoying.

I haven't watched the Theatrical version in years.  Ever since I learned about and obtained a bootleg of the Producer's Cut (as well as the workprint), that's the version I've always watched.  I wonder what the later sequels would have been like if the Producers Cut was originally released at the time.  Didn't like the third film and don't really class it as part of the series (as well as the Rob Zombie films).

@ Halloween 4 - I see this as my favorite Halloween sequel. Certainly not perfect as you said, but it is a lot of fun.

@Halloween 6: The producers cut - Really need to check this version out. Next October. :P

Since last Thursday:

Child's Play 2 (1990) - This has always been my favorite CP film. I finally found the deleted scenes (which STILL have not been properly released via DVD or BR) on youtube and the alternate ending as well. The alternate ending is AMAZE. Why or how they were talked out of it is complete lunacy to me. While it really jumps around at times, the death scenes are total 90s and so nostalgic. 7.8/10

Child's Play 3 (1991) - Here is a film that has divided the fans since it's initial release. Personally, I really enjoy the military school setting and the characters. This film really added a lot of new face shots of Chucky, which at times, are actually sinister looking. It also was the first non-house setting for Chucky, a nice change imo. Apparently when this film was on USA and HBO back in the day (ahem, 1990s), the deleted scenes were included. While there only a few (that were released), they add a little character development to a film that has very little. These also, have not been released on DVD or BR. >:( In case y'all haven't noticed, character development is a BIG deal to me. The barber death scene is still my favorite death scene of all films. The only thing I wanted to see changed is the final scene with
Spoiler
Andy and the girl being separated and no followup with the War games.
[close]
. 7/10

Halloween night:

Spoiler
Since these are traditional viewings, they each automatically get 10/10, respectively ;D
[close]

Ernest Scared Stupid (1991) - A nostalgic classic for me. Loved it as a kid, still do. So many classic lines, This movie can do no wrong for me.
"Miak?"
"Bet you didn't think I couldn't find it this time of year?!?"

"How bout a bumper sandwich boogerlips?"

Night Of The Living Dead (1990 version) - While the 1967 classic is the favored version of SO many people, this film was filmed less than 4 miles from my house! Actually, the 67 version was filmed extremely close to my house as well. :P Since Tony Todd's character is so hardcore badass it's really hard for me to say no to this. I've known a few people who were extras in this version as well.

A sneak peek of next October's viewings include:

Children Of The Corn 2 thru 8 (Kiramid needs to join me in this crusade ;D )

I've only ever seen the first three Children of the Corn films and have only seen the first six Hellraiser films. (Although I do have physical copies of alternate versions of the first Four Hellraiser films)

Is the Producers Cut of Halloween Six close to the original script they had that would have taken it in a different direction? ie no H20 or Resurrection

Yes, it's the version that more closely resembles the script. As for a new direction, it's ending couldn't really be followed up on, anyways.

Spoiler
The Producer's Cut ends with Loomis getting the Thorn curse passed on to him, implying he's going to be Michael's new guardian or something of that sort. But Donald Pleasence died right after he finished filming, so they almost had to rejigger things either way.

one thing has always bugged me, they break the rules by going to Genesis to find the body of Spock at the Behest of Sarek, yet Sarek doesn't speak up for them and take the hit that he was the one who sent them in The Voyage Home

Steve Jobs (not the Ashton Kutcher one...)

Didn't like it at all, it's Sorkinese at its worst. Every conversation is a singular train of thought, every exchange is fraught with tension and interruption regardless of whether it needs to be, every character has more or less the same voice (differentiated mainly by relative level of power), every sentence is spoken without the slightest hesitation regardless of its complexity, the lead character has to feel 100% in the right and beyond self-assured with every single word. It's grating and unnatural. There's very little stage direction too - unlike The Social Network, there's no escape from the dialogue here.

It touched on many of Jobs' various aspects, but I didn't feel it sufficiently managed to get under the skin. I didn't like the narrative conceit either - every section of the film takes place during a product presentation, it means that a lot of the key elements of the Apple story go unexplained. The film feels like it ends abruptly too, at a point which repeats earlier narrative. It could just as neatly have ended halfway through.

Fassbender makes a hell of a Jobs though, and Danny Boyle shoots him brilliantly. I just think they needed a better script to work with - but then again, maybe Boyle and his editing team aren't as good at taming Aaron Sorkin's prose as David Fincher's crew was.

Yes, that it is. I might check out the workprint which is included in the set I have as well, but I'll probably watch the Stanley directed documentaries in it first.

Inside Out

A fun movie with a clever, creative concept and a well thought out story. I did lose track of some of the metaphors after a while, though, and they could easily have pushed the concept even further. The subconscious bit felt especially shortchanged. Not quite top tier Pixar, but still very good.

I enjoyed Inside out as well, its the sort of one were i enjoyed it but am unsure whether i really want a sequel. I know what they could do, but i dont want it to turn into the Cars franchise.

Last one i watched was The Last Legion (2006), which is very loosely/Lightly based on the novel by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. Only takes a few tiny elements from the book,

As far as I know, the studio cut only came out on VHS a long time ago. It supposed;y removes a lot of the supernatural aspects and reduces Mukurob's role significantly.



The Secret Glory

The subject matter is very interesting, but the documentary gets rather hard to follow due to a confusing structure. Still, it's pretty well worth the watch for what Stanley admits in an unfinished piece.



Dust Devil- Workprint Version

A lot of the additions here weren't entirely necessary to the film for me, but some of them added some interesting detail. There's a little bit more of the political shift, and you see the UN representatives show up at the first crime scene, with Porkins trying to get them to leave. Also, a later scene reveals that the Dust Devil has a number of ancient coins with him, which added a nice bit of background without going too far. Mukurob's dream sequences here also clarify why he feels responsible for his son's death. The one added element that really should be in the finished film comes right near the end.

Spoiler
Mukurob has one last vision of his wife and son before he dies, which gives his arc a little more weight to it. Also, you get to see Mark yank on his handcuffs and try to get away from the car for a lot longer after Wendy walks away, which is kind of funny, in a dark sort of way. :laugh:

- The Ewoks really don't bother me anymore. It was all a bit Vietnam War-ish.

- The scenes with the Emperor/Luke/Vader were some of the best, I think not only in Star Wars, but in Sci-Fi in general. That duel was better than most of the prequel stuff (and I didn't hate the prequels).

Death Wish

Pretty cool, nice and gritty 70s crime flick. The ending was surprising, to say the least. I mean, I knew Kersey would get away with it since they made four more, but the how and why was unexpected to say the least. Also, there was a bonus Jeff Goldblum appearance right at the beginning. 8)

I'm going to try and watch them all today, too. :laugh:

Death Wish II

Eh, it was okay. Not terrible, exactly, just a far less inspired clone of the first film. Laurence Fishburne using a boombox as a bullet shield, though... :laugh:

Death Wish 3

This movie was... glorious. :laugh: That has to have been one of the most insane action movie finales ever.

Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony

I think that's the title.  Good documentary, never knew so may guys were into My Little Pony.  You like what you like though right?  The doc had a few nice moments, couple of cringe worthy ones, but if that's what they are into, and more importantly, it makes them happy then I don't see other people's problems with it. 

Overall, good documentary

Wonderful, beautiful, incredible, in every way that I had hoped.  I grinned through the entire movie, like I was nine years old again.  I enjoyed it that much, I hung about for half an hour to watch it a second time.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

Yea yea, a lot of people said it copied the original trilogy a lot, I'm gonna say it too. The prequels intended to do that too, but they also came up with new things, unlike TFA which seemed mostly to rely on already-existent things. It's like J.J Abrams was afraid of screwing it all up.

But that doesn't really mean it's a bad movie either.

Spoiler

Even though I was spoiled on Han Solo's death long before watching it myself, the scene itself was...depressing. I even read the whole transcript of that scene, and I still felt sad about it.

R.I.P Han Solo, at least you got a honorable death
[close]

Basically the original trilogy did things, the prequels took those things and repeated the formula (to some extent) on a bigger scale , while TFA took the original trilogy and did those things on an even BIGGER SCALE.

I'm not going to make comparisons between Ep. IV - V and VII, because things will be spoiled, but I just want to say the following statements (which are minor spoilers to some extent too):


I'm not sure about the rating though...Is it the best SW movie? NO ! Is it a good SW movie? YES !

A good Star Wars movie/10

P.S:
Spoiler
I loved how Finn's armor was marked with the blood stain, to recognize him among thousands of similar-looking Stormtroopers. Like Chappie's orange antenna.  ;D

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

"Anyone got a smoke?" 8)

From Beyond

This movie is just plain cool. More films need sassy Ken Foree as the one sane man.

Zombie (1979)

This is easily one of my favorite zombie movies. It takes the flesh eating Romero zombies and brings in the voodoo roots of the genre, making for an interesting combination of the two. And of course, the gore is spectacular.

Lupin III: The Castle of Caglisotro

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Working my way through the Miyazaki box set. Both are rather good, and I liked Nausicaä better than I did the first time round. And Disney must have gone cheap when they paid for the dub rights on Lupin III, since they used the old dub that calls him Wolf the whole time. :laugh:

Project A-ko - 1986.

Classic anime that I first caught on Anime Saturday on the Sci-Fi channel back in.. 1998 I believe. Then I saw it again sometime around either 1999 or 2000. I have the DVD of the film, the 2005 re-release. Popped it after ten years of having last seen it. So good to get back to seeing these characters again.

2) Scarlett is a dirty ho.

3) They cast the biggest block of wood to play Ashley, seriously. Thank God Leslie Howard didn't play Dr. Frankenstein. :laugh:

(from Tuesday night):

Mars Attacks! (1996)

I learned a lot from this movie upon viewing it yet again. Such as:

1. Jack Nicholson is the both the pres and the Vegas Hotel guy.
2. This movie is a completely obvious pun to the 1950s horror films.
3. This movie is LOADED with current and former stars, even in cameo roles...for example,  Jack Black was the Kansas guy who gets vaporized and labeled a hero by his family, while Christina Applegate was his gf.
4. The aliens' voice is none other than Frank Welker.

A fun watch overall, as always.

7.5/10

Funnily enough I watched that movie for the first time last night.  It was a solid, action flick, and you can tell that they both had a blast.  Question though, Jim Cavaziel as the evil warden.  What the hell happened to that guy's career?  He is one of the best actors on the planet, but ever since Passion of the Christ his career slipped a bit.  He's in the Thin Red Line, one of the best War Movies ever made IMO and his performance is amazing.  But now he seems to struggle for roles

Robocop (2013) An enjoyable remake. takes the story in a different direction. Wonder if they'll do a sequel to this version.

The Ides of March. Clooney really loves directing this great indie style films

Gnaw :Food of the Gods II. A sequel in name only, even though it was originally meant to be a proper sequel. You can tell where they original would have fitted in as well

Prometheus

I think it's only the fourth or fifth viewing since it was released in cinemas, and my contempt for this movie continues to grow.  It is beautifully shot, good cinematography and design, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender really do steal the show.  That being said, the script is atrocious, to the point where I can't physically believe Ridley Scott was okay with it.  Badly written characters, a plot that makes no sense, and the editing, particularly in the final third of the film is horrendous.  It is by far and away the worst entry in the Alien Universe (AvP movies notwithstanding)

Disappointing nonsense

2.5/10 And that is being generous

Ju-On The Curse 1 & 2 were direct to video movies in Japan. They proved popular enough to get theatrical sequels, called Ju-On: The Grudge 1 & 2. "Curse" and "Grudge" are both appropriate translations of "Ju-On"... so in Japan, there are two distinct sets of movies both called Ju-On 1 & 2. Confused yet?

Just wait, there's more...

Ju-On: White Ghost

One of two filmed as tenth anniversary tributes to the series. This one has some okay scares, but it largely feels like a pale imitation. It doesn't help that the titular ghost is an old lady in crappy makeup who carries a basketball around with her. Yeah, not exactly the stuff of nightmares. But then it gets worse, with one of the more tasteless plot points in one of these movies...

Spoiler
It turns out the family that's moved into the house in this one has the father's brother living with them, who gets exposed to some sort of evil from a mirror or something. This turns him evil, and causes him to start molesting his young nice, and the movie is this close to a pedophile rape scene when horny grandma walks in and tries to seduce him instead. And all of this shit is immediately followed by a comedic moment with Toshio meowing at a toy dog that makes barking sounds. Yeah...
[close]

In short, f**k that movie. >:(

Ju-On: Black Ghost

The other of the two tribute films, this one also has some decent moments. However, the plot is poorly put together, the nonlinear structure is badly done, and some of the segments just feel like pointless padding.

Finishing up this bullshit:

Ju-On: The Beginning of the End

Talk about taking a dump on the series. The changes to the backstory are stupid, the scares are mostly just stupid jump scares, and almost every death scene is stolen from the earlier films. BULLSHIT!

Ju-On: The Final Curse

If the last one took a dump on the series, this one is the brief whiff of gas that followed. There's nothing to this movie at all, it's so boring.

Alien 3 : Assembly Cut. This one was the version from the Blu-ray boxet, with the improved sound in the new sections. My friend really enjoyed it and preferred the ending to this version than the theatrical. Although surprised the re-added the Spike dialogue in the air shaft scene

I actually liked this one a lot better than the first one. It wasn't goddamn shot-for-shot copied from the originals, for one thing. The anachronic scene order was also a lot more interesting here, and it was fun piecing the bits of the story together.

The Grudge 3

Still holds up as a scary, well made piece of work. It's a remake that actually carries its own weight and does so fairly well. Also, Brian Cox is basically playing proto-Stryker in this, it's awesome.

The Ring Two

Okay, now I'm mad. The f**k was the point of that?

Great movie!  And yeah, Nemo's dad is a beast in this movie.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Wow.  I really enjoyed this movie when I first saw it, in fact I loved it.  I still do.  But after a few more viewings, I find more and more problems with it.  I'm not one of these Marvel vs DC guys.  I love them both.  I love the fact that I live in a world where the Avengers are together, Ant Man, Black Panther and Spiderman are all going to share a screen together.  I love the fact that I'm going to see Batman face off against Superman, build up the Justice League, and Wonder Woman finally gets her long deserved movie.  That being said, the last few days, I've had to hear the scoffing of several Marvel only fanboys, going on and on about Zack Snyder and WB.  In my final viewing of Age of Ultron I watched it with rage glasses. 

Firstly, what Disney and Marvel have done since Iron Man is incredible.  They brought the things on my shelves, on my walls to life.  They made superhero movies a credible format again. 

That being said.  I do find it annoying that certain Marvel fans are under the illusion that their films are flawless.  Nope. 

Iron Man, Winter Soldier,  Thor,  Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man were all awesome.  Winter Soldier and GOTG are the standouts for me.  I loved Avengers Assemble, I loved Age of Ultron, or so I thought. 

My problems with Age of Ultron are as follows,

It's pretty much beat for beat the same as Assemble, Tony Stark inadvertently creates the villain/problem, Avengers fight each other, they fight a giant army at the end. 

Nick Fury just happens to have a spare carrier to turn up to save the people.  This is one of my main gripes with Marvel fan boys.  'Superman killed thousands in Man of Steel' 'Avengers actually save people'.  I don't like the sugar coating of civilians not dying in Marvel movies.  In the final battle, Cap tries to save the woman in the car, Thor does and tosses her up, then brings up another car.  Hawkeye/Quicksilver save that kid.  Quicksilver also saves people from the runaway train.  But surely a lot of people were killed by the crashing train, surely a lot of them were killed in the Hulk/Hulkbuster brawl (Which is kind of addressed but not thoroughly explored) A lot of people had to have died in the final battle.  Hundreds of robots flying around, they had to have killed people. 

I'm not saying I want to see civilians die, but come on.  Superhumans/ Supervillains battling, people will die.  And judging by the Civil War trailers, this might actually be addressed finally

Ultron's creation was a little rushed for me (but that is a minor, very minor thing)  Spader's performance more than makes up for it. 

Positives

Bettany is brilliant as the Vision

Whedon's dialogue is spot on as usual

The Avengers as actors have some of the best on screen chemistry I've ever scene.

The Hulk has never been better represented.

I still love the film, but I see more flaws now.  I'm not trying to start the whole Marvel v DC thing.  It's just the arrogance of some fan boys is unbearable at times.  Some DC fanboys are no better.  I wish they would all just embrace the fact that we are getting spoiled with superhero movies at last.

The Ring Virus

This is the Korean remake of Ringu, and it plays like a garbled mash up of that film and the original novel, which it borrows a number of plot points from, including the twist regarding Sadako's nature. The two don't really mix, making the story kind of crappy and vague. The acting is pretty bad for the most part, with the lead being bland as hell, and this version of Ryuji is the most annoying asshole possible. The one bright spot are the fairly well done flashbacks featuring Doona Bae of all people playing Eun-suh, this movie's rendition of Sadako, very well.

The Marvel Netflix shows have been addressing it pretty well, I think. The battle in the first Avengers, at least, has had some definite consequences.

Right.  I've watched a couple of episodes of Agents of Shield, I couldn't get into it.  But a few friends have told me to stick with it, they do tie up certain things really well apparently.  And again, judging by the Civil War trailer, I think they will address it.  Those complaints were minor gripes

Really solid horror/found footage flick about a two Deacons investigating the authenticity of an alleged miracle.  I really enjoyed this.  The scares were subtle, and well used, it had a very creepy tone after the first fifteen minutes.  Solid performances from the cast and one extremely disturbing scene, which has stayed with me since I watched it yesterday.  I recommend it to everybody. 

7/10

Didnt actually expect much from this Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy film, but i did really enjoy it. was alot of fun to watch

Death Machine (1995).
This was actually the full 2 hour version rather than the cut to shreds version that was released. Such a great film. Brad Dourif is just fantastic in it.

Big Stan (2007)
Who would have thought that there was a good Rob Schneider movie out there and the fact he directed it as well. Worth a watch.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
Hadnt watched this in so long. Another underrated John Carpenter movie and a great end to his "End of the World" Trilogy

An Inspector Calls (2015)

An interesting watch, but some scenes were thrown as left-overs in the ending when they could be presented accordingly throughout the movie. It serves as nothing but to confuse the audience.

Give it a chance, I think a great deal of you guys will enjoy it.

Spoiler

As for that ending, here's a little theory: I think the so-called "inspector" was the girl's father which was trying to anticipate her move. Notice how the interrogation stops right before the moment of suicide? That's all he needs to know. Was he trying at first to find what happened to her daughter(where was she, specifically) before trying to help?

After his unsuccessful attempt at a rescue, the suicide is reported and eventually an official police inspector arrives at the Birling residence?

Mrs. Doubtfire

Been years since I seen this classic (childhood) film. I finally got everything that I didn't get when I was a kid. So many hilarious and awkward moments! The DVD also had deleted and extended scenes (as bonus), I can't believe some scenes that were cut. The scenes were clean and had perfectly clear dialogue and musical audio.
Spoiler
The spelling bee was a touching and revealing scene, the extended scene from the beginning when Robin and Sally were fighting was another good one. The best of all tho was when Mrs. Doubtfire talked to the neighbor about how to care for her flowers (three scattered scenes overall). The last one was the best when all the flowers were dry and brown she discovers Daniel (Robin) was actually Mrs. Doubtfire. HILARIOUS!!! The final cut scene was the overall most touching for me, as Daniel tries to speak with Miranda (Sally) after the incident at the restaurant. They start yelling yet again and the kids say they hate them both. Very sad. Have absolutely NO idea why that scene was cut, as it set up the court scene near the film's conclusion.
[close]
Still a great movie and will gladly watch it again.

8/10

Would be 10/10 if the deleted/extended scenes were added into the film ;)

Battle for the Planet of the Apes - Extended Cut

Sigh... they just couldn't leave it alone, could they? All this really is is a cheapo, lame, pointless cash in that adds little to the series and pisses away the its dark, pessimistic nature just to appeal to a wider audience. Also, it's boring. Really, really boring. It's less like an actual Battle for the Planet of the Apes, and more like a minor border skirmish that just happens to take place on the Planet of the Apes. There's a couple of decent scenes and a fairly strong cast, but those things can't save it. And the extended cut doesn't add much, just a couple of scenes establishing the alpha omega bomb, making the time loop more concrete. That's nice and all, but the movie is still mediocre.

A definite Cult Classic. I always enjoy this when its on and the Glave is an awesome weapon

Dr Terror's House of Horror's (1965).

So this is basically a Key and Peele episode stretched out into a full 2 hour long movie. And that is in no way, shape, or form a bad thing. The chemistry these two have together on screen is perfect, and I'm pretty sure I did not stop laughing the entire time. The cat is also one of the most adorable things you'll ever see.

So this is basically a Key and Peele episode stretched out into a full 2 hour long movie. And that is in no way, shape, or form a bad thing. The chemistry these two have together on screen is perfect, and I'm pretty sure I did not stop laughing the entire time. The cat is also one of the most adorable things you'll ever see. Definitely go see it.
I like their show, so I am glad to hear it was good! I am glad that they love George Michael's "Freedom 90" too!

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

One of the stronger entries into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  The heroes on display are all well written and acted, the action is fun, and there are plenty of emotional moments between certain characters to warrant this film as a must see immediately.  The only issues I had is the presentation of the Civil War concept, another unmemorable villain, and the film ties everything in such a strong knot that there are little to no consequences that comes from the events of the film.

4/5

Moon 44 (1990)

Been a couple years since I seen this (again). The first time I seen it was back in the mid 90s on SciFi (really miss those days of quality SciFi channel). It really didn't sink in that Roland Emmerich directed this movie until I seen his name in the opening credits! Weird eh? The film is set in 2038 (seems so distant lol), as the last Mining Federation planet is under threat to be destroyed by drone attacks. An insider at the MF is called upon to investigate the planet and is accompanied by prison inmates to be fighter pilots. The only people on the planet are overseeing the mining operations and act as "the seeing eyes" for the pilots fighting the drones. We even have a Malcolm McDowell acting as the planet's manager/overseer.
Here is a much broader plot explanation:

The one guy who gets, um, special attention from one of the prisoners, is ULTRA cute! :D

Anyway, the acting is so-so, the writing is ok, the story is bad (in a good way) but the real gems of the film are the backgrounds and setting art. I really wish I could find some other 80s/90s (ONLY) movies that have this kind of feel to them, both setting and background wise.

I actually really liked this one, but it felt like things were missing or not developed quite enough, probably due to an hour being cut out by the studio. Still, the acting and dialogue were top notch, and Brad Pitt's final monologue was dynamite. It helps solidify Andrew Dominik as one of my favorite fillmmakers, shame he hasn't made more.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Great movie, although the it doesn't live up to the hype completely.

Spoiler
The final fight between Captain America and Iron Man was the only thing that I greatly enjoyed and seemed to fit with the theme of the movie. The rest of it (like the airport brawl) was fun to watch, but it wasn't as intense as it should have been.

Also, the setup seemed to be a little longer than needed, considering how quickly everything came to an end.

There were several characters which had perfect motives to join either Tony Stark/Steve Rogers (Vision, Hawkeye, Black Panther) but there were also others which seemed to join simply because they were the first person to ask them about it (Spiderman, Antman). Should I also mention that I hate teenager Spiderman?

For the good parts I was extremely surprised (and excited) at Black Panther's apparition and honestly didn't know he was going to have a significant story arc in the movie. Bucharest also looked awfully perfect.  :laugh:

... Upcoming post(s): Carnosaur 3.
(takes a deep breath)

Ok. This was one of the overall worst acted and scripted films I ever seen in awhile. It was a direct to video release in the US in 1997. The comic relief parts were horrifically written and made no sense. This film had feel elements of Child's Play 3 (armed forces), Predator (bait and trap) and JP: The Lost World (dinos in cargo hold of boat). While I don't want to get too specific on the laughable story, I will say that mash up of scenes also did not help its cause. Two of the actors in the previous Carnosaur film are in again, which are Michael McDonald (MAD Tv) and Rick Dean (I have no clue what he has done previous or post). In the US, the title is also known as "Primal Species". My favorite critic review on this is by Popcorn Pictures, which gave the film half a star out of five stars, and wrote "Some of these bad films are so bad that they are amusing. Others, such as Primal Species are just downright bad. To quote Mark J. Tannacore's review, "Carnosaur started at the bottom and the series went downhill from there." It didn't just go downhill, it nosedived." While I enjoy terrible B-movies, this one might top the list (so far) with the title of "OMG. They seriously made this." Will I watch this again? Well, maybe with someone who has a taste for truly terrible sci-fi dinosaur movies ;D

Saw X-Men: Apocalypse last night.

It's a bit of a mess, feels painfully overlong, with a bloated CG shot quota, and feels like they tried to cram too much into it. But still just about worth watching, as the art design, cinematography and casting are all pretty strong.

Two cast members in particular: Oscar Isaac is unrecognisable as Apocalypse, I spent the whole movie trying to figure out who he was. Ended up fairly certain they'd exhumed Marlon Brando.
Sophie Turner's transformed too. Absolutely flawless American accent, played very differently to Sansa Stark.

Anyway. It's better than Wolverine, roughly on par with First Class (there are also a LOT of plot ties to that movie, so might be worth watching it beforehand).

Gods of Egypt (2016).
OMG this was awful. A poorly written CGI-fest and the composite of actors onto the CGI just didnt gel. The best bits were Ra vs Apophis and anytime Chadwick Boseman appeared.

Independece Day - Extended Edition (1996).
I remember seeing ID4 when it first came out and i really enjoyed it. I loved this extended cut as well, with the few extra scenes and a couple of extra sub plots. It was a fantastic mix of early CGI, Model work and practical effects. And many people still laughed at alot of the jokes :)

Independence Day - Resurgence (2016).
Now i did enjoy this and it looked great in 3D and also the mix of Live Action people and CGI effects looked so SO much better than Gods of Egypt. I only have a few minor qubbiles. All but two of the deaths in the film had no emotional impact for me, they just seemed to happen. The Aliens were pure CGI now, rather than the mix of Practical suits and effects from the first one and it moved alot faster than the first one, even though it was almost the same length, there was very little build.I think that was only a problem, because i saw it straight after the first one mind.

Killer Joe.  Really intense, weird, uncomfortable viewing.  McConaughy is terrifying.  9/10

Looper.  One of the best sci fi movies of the last decade 10/10

Man of Steel.  As far as comic book movies go, it's a masterpiece, along with Iron Man, GOTG and The Dark Knight 10/10

Dom Hemingway (2013).
A fantastic performance by Jude Law here. Although it does come across as more a series of vignettes, loosely connected than a movie. I can picture it more as a Stage Play

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Lots of fan-service and several cliches there and there, lame moments movies try to do.

Spoiler

There was this one character dying and the producers decided that it would be fun to have him joke about it. And so he replies to his loved one: "that scarf was supposed to be a pullover". Lame. Also, was his partner a female?  :o

I would presume so since it was suggested to us, but over the course of the movie I just lost track if _______ was a crazy scientist or a f**king female.
[close]

Overall it felt as good as the original. The Sci-Fi stuff made up for it along with the fact that we get some more overlook on the aliens and that opens the gate for another sequel. Let's not even mention the ball.

I would say it was a bit shorter than the first because of fewer, interesting encounters. Might be an old memory though.

7.4/10

Ah!  Good stuff.  'The Valley of Gwangi' and 'Jason and the Argonauts' are 2 of my all time favourite movies. 

Ray was such a cool Gentleman.  I had the privilege of meeting him when he was in Melbourne, must've been way back in 2002.  He was visiting and holding a seminar.  Also hosted a screen of 'Jason and the Argonauts' at a cinema.  Was such a great day for me to meet him.  such an amazing person.  So calm, collected and very polite and appreciative of peoples excitement for his work even though he'd retired from animation for a couple of decades by then. 

I've met a lot of people in various entertainment industries throughout the years but Ray has been by far one of my favourites.  If not my favourite.   I was broken in half when I'd heard he'd died.  Nonetheless, the truly remarkable legacy of his unique contribution to to cinema will live forever, just waiting for future fans to discover the Joy and Magic this Man could wield with just his bare hands.

Jason is one of my favorites as well, but I haven't see Gwangi in years. Great story about getting to meet Ray. That would have been too cool. I did get to see a screening of 20 Million Miles to Earth at the Hirshorn in Washington DC some years back, though.

The annual viewing of...

Mosquito (1995)

I never tire of this film. Since the first viewing of it on Sci-Fi (aka SyFy) back in the late 1990s, I have a special place in my heart for these kind of movies. It was re-released last year for first time ever on Blu-ray, but I still have my first edition DVD (which was and still is, extremely rare) that I viewed last Saturday night. Seeing Gunnar Hansen again was a sad moment, but he never disappoints. I easily consider this film in the top 5 of Sci-Fi B movies ever made, a most definite watch for everyone. Especially if you want a lame laugh about horrible plots, terrible pun lines and of course, actual non-CGI puppets of giant mosquitoes. :laugh:

9/10 (my nostalgic score)

Next up is the other "classic" Sci-Fi film, Ticks... I need Kiramid to join in on this crusade ;)

Just your average good guy vs. bad guy story. Some moments and part of the scenery made some nice moments, but that's about it.

A friend of mine wanted to marathon the Alien franchise, so we watched Alien, Aliens, & Alien 3 on Saturday evening. He passed out mid-way through Alien 3. I would've kept trekking right on to Alien Resurrection otherwise. It was his own foolish idea to make it a drinking game. We kept it simple however, as I had learned my lesson from a previous experience. I hadn't watched any of them all that recently. I've always proclaimed that Alien is my favorite, though really Alien & Aliens are both neck & neck. Both marvelous. 2 of my favorite movies of all time. I'll always go to bat for Alien 3, as many on these forums would. It's not that far of a drop off in my opinion. I'm trying to talk him into another triple feature of A:R & both AVP films. Sadly, he's not as eager to oblige.

I saw it last night and for me it was the Best Movie of the Year. The performances were perfectly restrained when they needed to be, which worked for me in regards to when the savagery kicked in. Alexander Skarsgard was the perfect Tarzan, although i do wish Djimon Hounsou, had had more to do. The music was perfect and the song over the end credits fit the mood rather than feeling tacked on. I'd love to see a second one of this and they could easily do slightly more fantastical elements and it wouldnt feel out of place for me.

No you are right, he is so underused in about 90% of the films he's in. Gladiator and Blood Diamond are ones that really utilise him perfectly.



Now You See Me 2 (2016)
Saw this last night. was an okay film. Isla Fisher's absence is handled with a couple of throwaway lines and Lizzy Caplan brings some well needed energy into a slightly draggy first half. The second half improved much, with a great final showdown, although the very last scenes, were spoilt by some stupid writing and a pointless redemptive arc for one character

I agree, pretty satisfied by the way he played Tarzan. Just wished the movie would've been a bit more special.

Silence Of The Lambs

Simply one of the greatest movies ever made. EVER. The entire performance of Anthony Hopkins is possibly the only perfect acting role ever filmed IMO. I never get tired of watching this film. The deleted scenes are great too, maybe one day we will get an entire uncut version. 25th anniversary of the film is this year too... Love the fact that a lot of this film was made in my area! :D

Predators - fell asleep half way through, same soundtrack as Predator lol...how original, simpleton action plot, liked the scene at the camp with the Pred tied up hanging, was well made and inside ship with Lawrence Fishburne might attempt to watch it again tonight 6.5/10 so far

Ghostbusters (2016)
Its an okay film, but i did enjoy it more than i expected. Its not the trainwreck that the first trailer lead me to believe. Kate McKinnon owns this film, she is perfect and Chris Hemsworth is funny, although about 50% of his skit is in the trailer. Loved how they worked a couple of the cameos in. One annoying thing is that there are five different versions of the Ghostbusters theme in the film, including the original. The Orchestral version is by the the best of the four new ones though.

Watched a few things on my vacation this week:

Krampus
Pretty fun horror comedy, with some great gags and cool monsters. I think it should have ended maybe a little earlier, though.

X-Men: Apocalypse
This was a thoroughly "okay" movie. It tries to be a sprawling, ensemble piece disaster film, and the various elements work okay by themselves, but don't really gel into a cohesive whole very well. Oscar Isaac was pretty pimp as Apocalypse, though, even if his character didn't make much sense. Like, if he's so powerful, why didn't he just do everything himself? He really didn't need three of the four horsemen. Speaking of which, they pretty much all sucked bar Magneto. Storm was okay, but Angel and Psylocke were pretty awful pointless. I never thought I'd say this, but f**king Cyclops was one of my favorite parts of the movie. :laugh:

The Alamo (2004)
This is another film that just doesn't gel. Billy Bob Thornton was excellent, but the other actors were either unconvincing or stuck with underdeveloped roles. Jason Patric seemed to be doing a bizarre Michael Rooker impersonation, and Dennis Quaid's accent sounded like he just got drunk and carried on from there. :laugh:

Suicide Squad.

Now i really enjoyed this. For me it had the perfect mix of comedy and serious that BvS surely needed. I didnt actually expect how quickly the film moves, but that works to its advantage. Sure a few characters are underserved and a bit wasted (I'm looking at you Katanna and Slipknot), but otherwise i really enjoyed it. Loved the easter eggs as well. And after watching it i've figured out how they could do a Team 7 movie in this universe lol

The scene where Noah is about to kill the two babies.  The thought of spending nine months on an ark knowing your children are going to die distressed me.  When he decides not to I had tears in my eye with relief.  Not embarrassed to admit it either lol.

You know one of those moments, when you're tired, and the remote is on the other side of the room, so you resign yourself to your fate.  It's one of those films that is just there, it's not terrible, it's not great, got a few chuckles out of it.  Owen Wilson being Owen Wilson.  It was meh

This film was laugh out loud funny. Everyone rocked in this film and i find it difficult to choose between Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza on the hotness scale. If you want your mind taken off things, this is the film to go and see

The Valley of Gwangi

Definitely a step up from the last two Harryhausen flicks, even if the romantic subplot is annoying as f**k.

First Blood

Great film, one of Stallone's best performances. Part of me kind of wishes there were no sequels, though.

Doom

Is an okay film and i would love to see another film pairing Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban, but i think i will be selling my copy of this on ebay as there are more deserving spots in my collection and i need to clear out some space.

I do wish they had done the Hell on Earth draft that's going around, that is meant to be more faithful to the games in a sense as the creatures are Demons.

Just had a brief scan to see what i could find and the only Doom script that seems to be out there atm is closer to the film, but with lots of vast differences to beginning and end.

Was very surprised, but am unsure if this is the Hell script or just the penultimate draft

Suicide Squad (2016)

Brilliant. Will Smith and Margot Robbie were really in-character. Not a big fan of the Marvel/DC universe so I'm not usually stressed about their movies, but this one blew my expectations. Along with Deadpool it might be one of my favorite superhero movies.

VHS Viral.
Supposedly the final one, but i would love to see another one.

Labyrinth.
God I love this film and my friend did too. It was her first time watching it as well. She couldnt stop laughing at some bits. Shows she has a great sense of humour.

Predator.
My friend enjoyed this as well. She had no idea Arnie was in it. And a fair few bits made her jump.

Just came back from a friends place.  The 3 movies we watched were:

'Dinocroc vs Supergator'. Absolute garbage, complete garbage and nothing but garbage.  I completely loved it.

'Iron Sky'. Nazis on the Moon and other weird and wonderful content, some of it subversive.  Excellent viewing.

'Big Trouble in Little China'.  It hasn't aged well since it was made but it's still one of my all time favourite movies.  Russell's Jack Burton, the almost competent hero, is still funny as all Hell.  Mind you, I don't think a remake will do it justice. 

A nice eclectic trilogy of Strange.

Stitches.
I'd been wanting to see this film for ages. Last time i attempted it, the bad weather knocked out my freeview, so got my mum to record it on her Sky Box, so i could watch it when i cam e down to visit. During that time, my nephew deleted it, because it wasnt for him (He has a tendency to do that). Little git. Now it wasnt as good as i thought it would be maybe thats because id built it up for so long), but was funny and OTT

Blazing Saddles

"Hey, where are the white women at?"
Easily my favorite Mel Brooks film. Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs are great, but Blazing Saddles literally has everything in it to make it one of the most hilarious movies in film history.

IT (1990)

Since this was technically a TV movie, it is broken into 2 parts. So...

Part I
Fantastic. Flashbacks of the now adults as children's experiences with Pennywise The Dancing Clown would make any kid hate clowns forever, with good reason. Tim Curry does not just make the role frightening, he really does stay in your dreams and haunts you. My favorite scene is probably when the gang is looking thru the book and it comes alive. 
10/10

Part II
A little slower, but still great. The adults have now come together, save one, back in Derry and one by one each have confrontations with Pennywise. Really wish the ending (final confrontation) was more dramatic and was merely ok. Favorite scene is when the girl goes back to her childhood home. That was really F'ed up. Bet you will never look at fortune cookies the same way again. :laugh:

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

I really liked The First Avenger and I loved The Winter Soldier, but Civil War is still a big disappointment for me.  The only scenes I really enjoyed included Black Panther and Spider-Man which were about them.  As for the big Airport scene, it lost it's appeal for me after the first viewing.  I found it to be much less interesting this time around because of the battle itself and the aftermath.  Same thing with the ending as well.  Nothing clicked for me because it all feels temporary and pointless.

Here's to hoping Doctor Strange is a good one.  For me, the MCU really needs it (not taking into account the excellent Netflix shows).

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

I suppose we all know how bad horror movies can be nowadays, especially if they're part of a series like Insidious. With that said The Conjuring 2 was pretty average for the most part. As always I never really felt empathy for any of the characters but some moments were done amazingly well (as in "tense", not "horror") and the demon, Valak, looked threatening enough.

Spoiler

One of the many drawbacks was how short the final encounter was. Not that I'd be expecting a 1 vs. 1 Demon-Human fist fight with the characters.  :P
[close]

7/10, just enough to pass as a average horror movie but pretty mediocre considering the budget (40 million $)

Oscar (1991)
An interesting screwball comedy starring Sly Stallone. Could have been better, but it was trying to ape the '30's style.

Lesbian Vampire Killers
Meh, its not that good. The only bits i actually like are the scenes with Paul McGann. He's just brilliant and him and James Corden bounce off each other very well. He's the only reason i watch it lol

VideoDrome
The first time i'd actually seen it all the way through, rather than sections here and there. Sadly the VHS parts date it, but goddamn what a great film

There's a few too many fake out jump scares, with he characters randomly popping in from out of frame, but there are some damn good suspenseful moments, and some inventive stuff, as well some insane mind f**kery. It shows more than BWP did, but never fully explains anything. There's also a hell of a twist involving the stick figures.



Killing Them Softly

A mostly good film, with great performances all around. It feels like something is missing, though, and doesn't quite flow like it should. Brad Pitt's ending monologue is brilliant, though.

Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture.

If you're a fan of SNK's Fatal Fury and King of Fighter's series, then Masami Obari's anime movie would definitely be for you. If you grew up in the 90s, stayed up until.. 3:00 AM to watch this, and they only aired this anime at that time due to how much nudity and fan-service there is (what do you expect, Obari is just as girl crazy as Go Nagai), then you had to have seen this anime and remembered how awesome it was and still is.

A decent fun horror flick, though it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be..
Its still a good time if you're looking for something that'll make you think twice about going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
To be honest I think I've fried my horror nerves, seen so many that it takes quite a lot to scare me now.
Half a point for not scaring the shit outta me, just made me mildly paranoid about walking around in the dark.
Though this can be a fault of mine so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Been a few years since a movie truly horrified me.
When I was abit younger the first insidious kinda creeped me out. also the grudge and ring movies.
Texas chainsaw massacre remake was pretty intense when I was like 12/13, hard to pinpoint when exactly it was that I became kinda numb to horror. maybe its because I've seen so many, the horror cliches become more apparent and make the movie predictable.
Though when I was really young nothing better than some nightmare on elms street, childsplay, halloween and Friday the 13th to keep ya up at night, enduring those from a young age has made it really hard to recreate that kind of terror.
Though I can acknowledge that its more me being a problem than the actual quality of recent horror movies.

Bridge of Spies (2015)
A fantastic film, one of the best Spielberg films in recent years. I think a lot of that has to do with the sparky script co-written by the Coen Brothers. There are some great incidental pay-offs. Also while Rylance's performance was good, i dont think it deserved the Oscar in hindsight

The Magnificent Seven (2016)
So much better than i was expecting. It was respectful to all the reiterations that had gone before, while going its own way and surprising me. I know everyone will be talking about Denzel and Pratt in this but a massive shoutout is deserved to Hawke, Saarsgard and D'nofrio, who all put in superb performances

Worst movie of the year for me, and one of the worst horror movies I've seen.  Disappointed mostly because Wingard directed one of my favourite movies, The Guest.

Flat, pointless characters,
Too many fake jump scares,
The sound is horrible,
The characters are needlessly irritating,
TOO MANY FAKE JUMP SCARES

It's awful

Captain America: Civil War

So far, the most disappointing movie for me this year.  I couldn't wait for it.  And when I finally got to see it, my reaction was a resounding, meh.

Rewatching it, it doesn't get any better.  Yeah the airport scene is cool, Spider-Man is the highlight of the movie, he steals every scene he's in, and Captain America is still by far and away the most interesting character in the MCU

Crossbones was wasted
Tony Stark is thoroughly unlikeable,
Black Panther is too one note
Hawkeye and Black Widow are pointless,
The build up felt rushed,
I didn't feel the sense of conflict with signing the accords.  The majority of it is Starks fault, so I couldn't get behind his crusade.  Oh, and it is the third movie with Avengers fighting each other. 

Not as bad as Age of Ultron, and not a bad movie in itself, just disappointing

Straight Outta Compton - Directors Cut
About 20mins of extra footage here, say only about 5mins really add anything, but still a great movie.

Tremors
What isnt to enjoy about these Motherhumpers

Free State of Jones
A good film, bit too long and I could have cut about 10mins out myself (you'll know when you see it). But Matthew McConaughy put in another Oscar worthy performance.

Legion - Exorcist III - Director's Cut

An interesting watch, for sure. A lot of it is the same, with a few additions here and there. They put the Eraserhead line back in that was so funny in the script. Seeing only Dourif in the cell scenes made for a hugely different experience, his performance was pretty different, as well. And that cell set, Christ. Was that a hospital room or a goddamn dungeon? :laugh:

Also, hate to be that guy, but I can see why the studio had reservations with the ending. I'm not saying it needed a full blown exorcism, but the scene is pretty brief and is over pretty quickly.

Oh, and in the special features, you get to see Brad Dourif review Exorcist II, and it's goddamn hilarious.

Children of the Corn (1984)

This had some pretty good parts to it, but my god did this drag. It got so repetitive in places, and He Who Walks Behind the Rows was about as lame as the movie version of Galactus. Isaac was cool, though, if wasted.

There are some films in which not seeing the monster are very good, but this was certainly not one of them. I really like the moment where the guy finds the drawing of HWWBTR ready to take the woman and he runs off to get her. If we had some kind of view of that monster (I'm assuming it was dragon-ish), that would have been 1,000% better.

A cool little British Horror film. Doesnt explain what causes it all which adds to the horror of what happens. If they did a second one, I'm sure they'd explain it then

How I Live Now
Not as good as i was expecting, for a film of this type it left a bit too much ambiguous. But Saorsie Ronan's performance was great. A spot on American Accent

Not a perfect representation of the games by any means, but a pretty good (if flawed) film in many ways. The actress playing Anna was pretty shit, though, and some of the dialogue is just... eek.

Clown 4/5
Interesting premise about a guy who puts on a clown suit for his sons birthday & realises the next day that he can't take it off...
The film did seem a tad bit long and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be but this is definitely a film that would scare children.
It also had its own lore about the origins of clowns, not a bad horror flick.
I'd recommend at-least seeing it once if you're a horror movie fan.

This... this evoked nothing in me. No response to this whatsoever aside from "meh, that happened."  Maybe it could have worked as a standalone film, which it basically is, just with rewrites to make it less dull. Michael Ironside had no point in this movie. You could actually edit him out, he's that superfluous. At least this didn't have a crappy sequel hook, I guess.

Ha, that's funny, I've been marathoning the same thing over the last few days & just finished Part 7 not long ago. It's been a few years since I sat down with them so it's been pretty fun to go through them again. First half of the week was all the Puppet Masters then went on to Friday the 13th series.

An intriguing film with a mixed cast, but i did zone out before the end, so i may have to try again

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

Admttedly, this movie makes no f**king sense as part of the series, but I find it to be a decently enjoyable watch. It helps that Creighton Duke is awesome. Also, random Evil Dead references. :laugh:
Completely agree that it is an enjoyable watch, and hilariously inappropriate blood everywhere.

Zombie (1979)

Probably my favorite zombie movie. The way it sort of bridges the gap between voodoo and Romero style is brilliant.

The Beyond

An insane masterpiece.

Last movie I watched..?  Hmmm... lemme see...

The other night, I saw 'Victor Frankenstein'.  It was OK.  I guess.  more or less another ho-hum entry in the never ending string of Frankenstein movies.  Pedestrian at most times but it did pick up towards the end. Mind you, it did have a stand out cast that made it worth a single watching:

Any movie that features 'Harry Potter', 'Moriarty', 'Professor X'  and 'Dr. Clemens' trying to assemble a boogieman from bits and pieces of body parts is going to be worth a peek into.   Well, there's that and the fact that Igor - you know - Frankenstein's hunchback assistant?

Spoiler
Well, Igor gets the girl in the end.  True.  I kid you not.
[close]
That makes it a worthwhile curiosity viewing in its own right.  lol

An OK movie.

Well, I've always done it; suffixed my posts with my name.  So, habit.  I guess.   We can start with that.

Secondly, when quoted, there's no mistaking who's written the post. (check the quote I've included immediately above). If you look at some of the quote chains where multiple quotes are included in the thread then it can actually be a pain in the ass to sift through it to determine which posts  are made by whom.    Often, some people remove the names from the quote bar entirely and just leave 'quote' in the chain.  That results in difficulty when it comes to identifying the original quoted author - you have to sift back through the thread to locate the original post. 

Just quote this post in a reply and it'll become immediately apparent who has said what without trying sift through the quote chain.  Try it.  You'll like it.  Compare this practice to some of the other quote chains - especially the ones that are a complete mass of confusion as to who has responded.

Third, I do occasionally write long posts.  I like to be recognised for my efforts. 

Finally, it reasserts who the Author of the post is when the reader reaches the end.

I hope that helps.

After years of wanting to watch it, I finally watched Fire in the Sky last night as I was in the mood for something scary and saw NetFlix actually had it on. I'd always heard about it being a terrifying film and I'd seen clips of it but I just felt so underwhelmed. It was as if all the hype revolved around a single scene that does't take place until the last 10 minutes or so. Was so disappointed.

OMG this was so bad, so bad. I could see what they were trying to do and it had a few intriguing concepts, but it ballses it up. I would like to read the original script before Boorman and Pallegrino decided to gangbang it to death

(from Halloween, traditional viewings)

Halloween (1978)

All time classic. Never realized how much Jamie Lee Curtis looks exactly like my mother.  :o

Classic/10


Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)

Only until this year did I realize some of this movie's dialog is quite adult humor... A perfect family Halloween movie.

Classic/10


Night Of The Living Dead (1990)

Filmed literally less than 5 miles from my house, so it has a special spot. This version with Tony Todd is my favorite of the two, but the 1967 original has much more historical significance and has the better ending (well, not better, but yall know what I mean). I also know two people that were in this one as well.

Classic (for me anyways)/10

BTW, Kiramid:

This... kind of sucked. Mordo was hilarious, though. "Dormammu is using comatose children to make a gateway!" "Then obviously we must kill the children before he can cross it!" :laugh: This is when he is still technically in good guy mode.

Exorcist III - Theatrical Cut
Wish they'd kept the subtitle Legion for this, especially since that's the name of the book. They even use it in some of the trailers lol. This studio version is still great, This was actually the first Exorcist film i ever saw when i was a kid and some moments still shock me and make me jump, like the Hospital corridor and the home visit. I do like how they managed to work the interplay between Brad Dourif and Jason Miller as different versions of Patient X, especially since that wasnt the original plan, but they do manage to pull it off. George C. Scott puts in a great performance as Kinderman, going from angry to breaking down. I'm also surprised that Blatty hasnt done more directing work.

The studio actually wanted to cut Dourif out of the film entirely, but Miller couldn't carry the role because of his alcoholism. And Blatty has only directed one other film, The Ninth Configuration. Interesting piece of work, to say the least.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades

Exorcist The Beginning
This is the Renny Harlin version and, while its not as bad as i expected, It seemed to be gory for the sake of it. But from i understand that's what the studio wanted. There are some good scenes and Stellan Skarsgaard puts in a fantastic performance, but otherwise hmmm.

Airheads
Probably one of the few great films out there that has Adam Sandler in it. Back when music was good and has a lot of fun sending itself up in places. It even has a cameo by Lemmy (RIP), who is credited as Lemmy Von Motorhead. Also this is back when Hollywood gave a damn about Brendan Fraser lol

Predator 2 (vhs)
Still a very underrated sequel, based in part on the Predator comic. My friend enjoyed it, so I'm on a roll with the franchise with her atm lol

Jurassic Park (vhs)
Hadnt watched this is awhile, and it still stands up. The effects, the story, the acting. Its a stone cold classic.

Highlander II - The Quickening (Theatrical/Insurers Cut)
My friend found this boring until they started fighting as she found it didnt make sense in a lot of places and she was surprised when they were revealed to be Aliens lol. I've told her that the Renegade/Producers Cut is alot better and makes more sense

Dominion - Prequel to the Exorcist

Not as good as i thought it would be, but it was so much better than The Beginning. The character arcs flowed better (especially Manville and Francis), it fit more for the Exorcist series and what little gore there was worked better than the out and out that Harlin did. Although still surprised by the maggot baby shot lol.

Doctor Strange

I did enjoy this, although it did move abit quickly, could have done with another 20mins maybe. I think they should have swapped the two end credit scenes around mind

I remember thinking the same thing about Thor 2. The movie's ending felt like an end credits scene, and one of the end credits scenes felt like it should have been the ending.

Dan Stevens is mesmerising in this film. He just holds your attention, which explains how the characters are able to believe and trust him. I wasnt sure about the final 30mins to begin with, i wasnt sure whether it was a great risk or a strange turn, but then when i realised who wrote and directed it, i realised i shouldnt have expected anything less lol

Nocturnal Animals
So different to what i was expecting. I'd give Jake Gyllenhal and Aaron Taylor Johnson Oscar Noms for this. The way it weaves, its definitely a film to see twice to get everything. On the way out a woman was complaining to a member of staff about the ending, I was so close to going up to her and explaining what i thought it was about, seeing as she obviously wasnt paying attention.

The Accountant
What can i say about this film. So much better than i could ever have expected. There are about 3 Plotlines going on and the weave together in the most unexpected of ways. Its the best film of the year. It took nearly a year to overtake what i previously said lol. Ben Affleck deserves an Oscar Nom and you actually will laugh at the most unexpected of places. Go watch this....NOW

Final Girl
Abigail Breslin deserves more credit as an actress. She is on fire here. And again this was completely different to what i expected

Pompeii
Well i guess i couldnt go a whole weekend without watching a CGI fest dud. Its basically Historical Disaster Porn directed by our good friend Paul WS Anderson. What the hell was up with Kiefer Sutherland's accent? He couldnt remember to do either a British or American Accent and that ending was pointless.

I suppose. It just seemed that all these little bits going on in the background, like the whole Titus stuff would have made a much, much better movie. And Emil Browning deserves better than this lol

Watched it again. It's still fantastic on a second viewing. I may be doing a bit of a Mann marathon... but I'm not sure if I want to torture myself with watching The Keep again... or deal with figuring out what f**king cut of the movie I'm watching for 90% of the rest. :laugh:



Manhunter

It's a very good film, but its fans tend to over hype the shit out of it. Espcially regarding Cox's Lecter.

Repo Man

Star Trek : Insurrection
A fun film for the franchise, sure not one of the best, but its not bad either. Would love to read the Data Heart of Darkness version or the Boothby versions of the script

Arrival
A beautiful movie, visually and musically stunning. So much heart went into this and had a great resolution. Amy Adams deserves an Oscar nom for this.

A good film, nice effects and some surprising turns, although the ending did seem a bit rushed and sudden

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (2016)
Its great to be back in the Potterverse, great visually and a great script (especially since Rowling is only meant to have taken 18 days to write). Although something about the ending disturbs me somewhat

Charles Laughton is the man. The film is still the definitive big screen take on Dr. Moreau, even if HG Wells hated it. And Richard Stanley pops up in the special features, cementing his current position as "guy who gets interviewed in movie documentaries." :laugh:

I have seen The Exorcist again, and as always, amazed me. The story and the characters are so well carried that the fear happens without you realizing it. It is very intriguing, and it is perfectly directed. What I like most about the film is its atmosphere, since there are not many movies that can boast of having personality. It's The Godfather of horror films.

Hunger Games : Mockinjay parts 1 and 2
I had heard complaints about how they split the book into the two films, but watching them both back to back, i felt it worked very well. It was the perfect point and the story is such a kicker in places, with many, MANY unexpected moments. Its definitely worth watching both back to back when you get the chance.

TerrorVision (1986)
This movie is a severe WTF. Its a 50's film in 80's dayglo. Its so random and yet works so well. Its on Youtube i think so go watch it

The Kiss (1988)
Heard a little bit about this, i did enjoy it, but some of the character decisions at the end were really, really stupid. But otherwise it was an enjoyable 80's Horror flick

Super Mario Bros movie

It's awful, but for some reason, I love the hell out of it.  I think it's because it was one of the first movies I ever saw at the cinema, really reminds me of my childhood, and how awesome being a 90's kid was.  And Samantha Mathis was my first girl crush

The body horror stuff isn't even the best thing about The Fly, it's an incredible and subtle character study. Watch it looking at the little details that go on between Seth and Veronica, there's actually a lot going on both dialogue-wise and visually

The Fly didn't bother me much, the only scene that got me twitching was when Brundle's 'human' eyes pop out and that gelatin sort of thing comes out before the monster head is revealed. Most disgusting film I have seen has to be Yuzna's Society, if The Fly got your entrails sick try and watch that one

I've done a Resident Evil DVD Marathon replete with special features and most of the commentaries. The third one (Extinction) directed by Russell Mulchay is the best of the bunch I think and book ends the trilogy nicely. Except that's not a trilogy. The follow up (Afterlife) is great and does kind of fit with the first three. Retribution, however, is just nuts. In a good way, but it doesn't really seem to "fit" as well as the other films. Of them all, though, its the most like a video game.

I thought I'd actually enjoy these films less than I did - but the reverse is true - I love them even more. I have never played the games so I'm not full of butt-hurt that such and such didn't appear or had the wrong coloured hair or whatever. And honestly - the film of the game is never going to be as good as the film of the game you had in your head.

I've embraced the madness.

One then gets murdered, one turns out to be a bad guy and the third is our actually hero, who quit the Air Force lmao

Sword of the Valiant:  The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (1984)

Love this flick, one of the best sword and sorcery of the 80s.  Also has Sean Connery and a lot of recongnisable actors. 

Gallipoli (1981)

Early Mel Gibson role, one of his best, a classic war movie.

Westworld.

Probably one my favorite films of all time. Really love the portrayal of the Gunslinger by Yul Brynner. I've not seen the HBO series yet. I'll have to check it out soon.

Brynner's performance was nothing short of memorable.

HBO's  'Westworld' is good.  Really good.  Go in cold, if you can.

It's very different to the movie, yet a lot of the concepts are present.  Nonetheless, everything about the show is more sophisticated than its 1973 predecessor but watching that film certainly doesn't spoil anything.  If anything, it gives you a solid template to work with in terms of what to expect thematically.

The series planned to span 5 years.  HBO have already signed up for that many seasons.  The show has just finished its first season so you got some catching up to do.

Now for the bad news... Season 2 won't be aired until 2018.  Yep. No 'Westworld' in 2017.

If they released another season at the same time next year, it'd be almost contemporaneous with Game of Thrones. Better for HBO to space out their marquee shows, a big part of Westworld's greenlighting was to give them a replacement prestige programme for when there's no GoT.

It Follows

Finally got around to watching it.  Positives, great idea, doesn't rely on jump scares, builds tension and the cinematography is gorgeous. 

That being said...

I don't get the hype.  It wasn't scary, the characters were paper thin, and unlikeable, the interesting premise was completely wasted, contradicting itself.  I really don't get the rave reviews, it was average at best, dull, and changed the rules of the 'creature' to fit the plot.  Characters did dumb stuff to further the plot.  I didn't like it.  It's not on the same level as the Babadook, nowhere near.

A Very Harold and Kumar (3d) Christmas
Lol so random, but then again this series always has been. And the fact this was the end of the trilogy. Neil Patrick Harris has a fantastic cameo as always. And Danny Trejo just hams up his usual character so much. Also it was originally released in 3D so you do get some random shots of stuff coming at the screen, (although the first use of it would have been a brilliant meta gag)

Snowden
A great film by Oliver Stone. Joesph Gordon Levitt deserves and Oscar for his performance and he nails Snowdens voice as well. Its amazing and we know some of what happened is true, which is scary, but of the full scale is true, with Trump as President, yep the world is F****ed. Also Shailene Woodley gets nude so thats a big plus lol

Passengers
I saw this in 3D and I looked beautiful, I really enjoyed it and was a great three hander for the most part. Great story and script by Spiahts and Jennifer Lawrence is hot lol

The Count of Monte Cristo
Great version of the story starring Jim Cavizel. And I so didn't remember a young Henry Cavill being in it lol

Just watched Passengers, written by Jon Spaihts who's better-known around here for penning the first draft for Prometheus (back when it was still an Alien film), and starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence who both excel individually and in combination generate some potent chemistry.

It's set on a heavily automated, luxurious colony spaceship on a 100+ year trip, with its crew in stasis, but Things Happen and certain passengers are awoken many decades early. They have to deal with isolation, hopelessness and a dying ship. It's a similar feel to Titanic - a fusion of romance, disaster and high-concept. Setting's more similar to Moon... or Red Dwarf, if you substitute a Scouse slob for Mechanic Chris Pratt, and a neurotic hologram for Jennifer Tight Outfits Lawrence.

There's the occasional duff line and transparent plot thread late in the movie, but it goes some way to salvaging Spaihts' name after Prometheus, the design work is beautiful, and it's a riveting watch that hit me in the feels. You don't have to be a sci-fi fan, you don't have to be a romance fan, you don't have to be a Pratt or Lawrence fan, but if you're into any of the above you're likely to enjoy it. It's also a perfect date movie.

Anything by David Lynch is worth watching as far as I am concerned - except for, maybe, 'Inland Empire'.  Only because a headf**k that lasts for 3 hours is just too much.  lol.

Eraserhead is one of my all time favourite movies.  As Lynch's first full length feature movie it sets the stage (pun intended, you'll see) for all of his signature 'headf**kery' he'll return to again and again.

I like 'Mullholland Drive" a lot.  It almost makes sense, up to a point.  Well, actually, yes it does make sense.  It's a return to the logical and linear progression of 'Blue Velvet' - and then one single action with nothing no more complicated than the simple turn of a key, it quite literally turns itself upside down and inside out in typical Lynch fashion. 

If you like getting the rug pulled out from underneath you with very little in the way of explanation or rationale in the way only Lynch can do so, then this is a good one.

'Repo Man' with Stanton.  lol... It's been decades since I've seen that movie.  I just have this one image of someone opening the boot of the car and WHAP! All of a sudden there's nothing left of him but his smoking empty boots. 

Keep watching that cool stuff.

The other night I saw a Finnish (with English subtitles) low budget genre movie with weird shit going on..  Um... that's the best way I can describe it.  'LoveMilla' is one of those pleasant off the wall surprises that shouldn't be as good as it is; but certain was!  Totally worth the watch.   Multiple odd narrative threads held together around the central love story.  It's a movie about alcohol that turns people into zombies, a villain who's out to spread disease by sticking their index finger up their butt, sex in exosuits and a useless super hero that is always defeated by their rival.  Yeah, it's early in the year but it will be a solid entry on my 2017 list of favorites.  Rating:  Stupid shit done right.

I also watched  'The 100 Year Old Man (Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared).  It's based on a book and yes the title says it all.  This old guy, Allan, decides to f**k off from the nursing home he was stuck in and his outlandish adventures.  It turns he has a penchant for blowing up shit.  A lot.  The movie was also peppered with flashbacks of key moments of the 20th Century and how he influenced them.  This movie has the best 'villain gets his comeuppance from being smothering to death via elephant butt' you will ever see.  Too awesome.  Swedish with English sub-titles.  Rating:  Me.  In about 50 years time.

Train to Busan (2016)

Koreans try their luck at zombie movies and succeed. If you can mind manga-type of zombies, not "The Walking Dead" type but not "28 Days Later" type either then go watch it.

The movie doesn't go in detail about the outbreak and decides to focus solely on smaller things like the survivors' actions and that's where it gets really creative. It doesn't acknowledge things only for them to be forgotten moments later.

One of my favorite zombie movies, no doubt.

I finally saw Green Room a couple nights back. I'd wanted to see it at the cinema but missed out on it. Didn't really know what to expect other than it had young Chekov (RIP) and racist Captain Picard. I loved it. Great performances all around and it was surprisingly engaging!

I watched this once as a kid and it just completely shit me up. I could never remember what it was called though. There was a thread on here where you could describe a film and folk would help you figure out what it was. So after being told what it was, it's been sat on my Netflix watch list waiting for my lass to go asleep early enough for me to watch it.

I can't believe this ever scared me. It was sooo terrible. I loved it.  :laugh: Loved the set work inside the UFO though.

The Butterfly Effect (2003)

9/10

The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)

A little more action-oriented and I think that's what breaks the movie, but still, it wasn't awful.

6.5-7/10

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations (2009)

It tries some few, bold things but iverall fails short like the second one. Slightly better than it but significantly distant from the "greatness" of the first movie.

And yes, there is at least one revelation in this movie. The subtitle ain't just there to be.

Spoiler

One such revelation is time-travel being acknowledged by multiple people, including one who has a deeper purpose in the plot and has the same abilities too. But what about the Professor, who I do not think posesses such powers...?

Sadly none of this is explained much in the movie and is just there for the shock factor.

[close]

7.4/10

If you have a least of interest into this series then go watch the first one. The other two are there to satisfy your carving even if they're not very awful.

I have this one my laptop. It was remarkably faithful to the original. Yeah it wasnt scary but i did enjoy it. Just and extra shock at the end



The Blob (1988)
Decided to watch this again last night as I always enjoyed it. I actaully noticed a couple of small things i'd never noticed before as well ;)

Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Mans Chest
I've always liked the second and third Pirates movies. They are not as bad as people suggest, they are just overlong. But i guess that could be because they were still writing both as they were filming. A few edits and maybe you could get a 3 and a half hour movie?

Hadnt watched this Bond film in ages and damn it hasnt aged well compared to others. The really bad CGI shots, the random camera movements and slow mo stuff, the really bad one liners.
But with some of the references in there, it did seem like someone knew it would be the last one of that era before the Craig reboot. Poor John Cleese mind lol

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)

Overall an ok action movie but with no obvious effort for plot and the usual "gung-ho" characters. Vin Diesel's presence unfortunately didn't save the movie by much.

I'm a newcomer to the franchise so keep that in mind.

7/10
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Russ on Jan 23, 2017, 10:37:28 AM
Underworld: Blood Wars. It's f**king glorious. Beckinsale and James hold it all together whilst everyone attempt to out-RADA each other - seriously... don't listen to the critics, this is just such great fun - and its no spoiler to say that there's definitely room for another Kate outing.

I really hope they do the sixth.

Suicide Squad: Extended Cut. Loved it. Like all these DCEU movies, there's a shit-tonne of DC references in there (great for the nerds). Again, I just don't get all the hate. I have to say that this was the least challenging of the three films so far in terms of being "controversial".... and I kind of wish they had gone for the original darker tone before the reshoots. But hey-ho - it was still a good film, though one I wouldn't go back to as much as I do MoS / BvS.

Split Second: I picked this early 90s Rutger Hauer classic up on DVD more in hope than expectation (I remember I loved it back in the day). Happy to say it didn't disappoint - its ludicrous, cliched and utterly OTT - but the interplay between Hauer's cop "Stone" and his nerdy side-kick "Dick Derkin" (I couldn't make that up) is brilliant.

The big bad is clearly a xeno rip - but who cares, in this movie its not a xeno - ITS THE DEVIL. Rutger Hauer vs Satan in a climate changed London (we're flooded) - with Pete Postlethwaite as the cop that hates Hauer... its awesome.

XXX: The Return of Xander Cage
A very enjoyable film, nice to have all the characters in, although two were missing. Very much switch your brain off and enjoy

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
A little bit all over the place and some bits werent need, but i still really enjoyed it. I added up the running times for this and Dead Man's Chest and it came to 5 hours and 10 Mins. To get it down to a single film, i would have to cut 1 hour and 40 minutes minimum out of it and the credits would only need a minor edit to add the cast from DMC and its sorted

They've become an 'in the mood' kind of movie for me as I've gotten older.  Keaton is an amazing Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson, Pfeiffer and DeVito were fine as Catwoman and Penguin, but there is a level of 'Tim Burton' to the movies that really bugs me

I sat through Batman and Robin, there is one scene between Alfred and Bruce, that had me thinking, where the hell was the effort from the writers for the rest of this movie, because say whatever you want about the shit show that is Batman and Robin, that scene between Bruce and Albert is amazing

Punisher: War Zone

AKA, holy f**k, Colin Salmon is actually given something to do besides stand around and get cubed!

Not as bad as I remembered, but still not very good. Stevenson, Knight, and Colin Salmon are all very good, and the action is pretty great when it's there. The villains are f**k awful, though, and a waste of Dominic West and Doug Hutchison. The tone is way too schizophrenic, veering between attempts at serious drama and overdone cartoon absurdity. And the fact that Lexi Alexander used the Virginia Tech massacre as an excuse for her poor decision making is downright reprehensible.

All i can say is WTF?! Its a film that seems to have a story for the first half and then just goes insanely but enjoyably off the rails in the second half, which involves a womans brain melting and a Kung Fu Master in a Frog costume

Interesting discussion. I really loved 89 Batman. Returns was good as well but it went downhill fast from there for me. Nolan's trilogy were very good too - completely different tone but I welcomed it. TDK set the standard but funnily enough I enjoy Begins the most out of that trilogy. Rises was a bit bloated at times. I enjoyed BvS too (for all it's flaws) and I loved Affleck's Miller TDKR version.

FWIW I grew up on Adam West Batman and have many fond memories of that show.

The Lego Batman Movie
I really enjoyed this. So bountiful in its Easter Egg goodness. Although the end was ruined by a group who came in right at the very end, making noise, talking and shining the lights from their phones looking for seats. Turns out they'd tried to get their young kid in to see Logan and tried to hide in Batman when that failed. Got a free ticket to see any film i want, so i will save that for a 3D Imax film lol

The Hunt
A compelling Drama about the Mass Hysteria that can be whipped up when someone is falsely accused of child molestation.

Damn. What a movie, this is the Wolverine film we've been waiting for. The best X-Men universe movie since X-2. So many references i would loved to have heard more about as well lol

Kong: Skull Island

Fun adventure, a very well-directed movie with great filming style, effective pacing and a sense of humour.

Fantastic creature design, Guillermo Del Toro-level. It's pretty much all CGI, but very meaty and convincing. A lot of effects companies today retain physicists as consultants, and it feels like they'd supervised every frame of the bigger fight sequences. Another good idea was setting the film in the 1970s, as the continual interaction with very analog technology such as film cameras and bulky radios gives the film a sense of physicality, which in turn makes the CG feel more believable. It's hard to describe, but it works. Sam Jackson gets a lot to sink his teeth into with his role, and you get the impression he enjoyed it - it's also very hard to believe he's near 70! Most of the characters aren't given particular depth, but as with Godzilla, you do wind up rooting for the titular critter.

Speaking of which, Skull Island feels about as close to Godzilla as it does to the earlier King Kong films. I was very happy to find it's not anywhere vaguely close to yet another Kong remake, and mainly just takes the idea of a titanic ape on a primordial island. It's also infinitely more enjoyable than the 2014 Godzilla, but it does feel that there's a shared creative ethos. Kong himself has a personality that's more in line with the big lizard's human-neutral king-of-monsters than the lonely beast hopelessly in love with a tiny blonde woman that we've seen since the 1930s.

Only downsides for me, and they're minor: the audio mix in the second half gave me a bit of a headache (same goes for Godzilla actually), and some of the creatures (Kong in particular) roar too goddamn much. I'm not sure where filmmakers got the idea that monsters and animals have to roar whenever they have a spare moment, but it needs to stop. Visit a wildlife park, guys.

But yeah, solid four stars. And that's despite coming in with a negative bias, as I'm not a fan of the previous Kong films (or of 2014's Godzilla), and after the numerous remakes and sequels, didn't think we needed yet another giant gorilla film. But the trailer looked good, and it's very much representative of the film. Definitely worth a cinema trip.

Really enjoyed this, though some characters were wasted and others were introduced to never be seen again lol. Hiddleston was miscast, but some of the soldiers were nicely portrayed. Does feel like a few scenes were missing mind

Necronomicon: The Book of the Dead
A fantastic anthology film, loosely based on Lovecraft stories, with Jeffrey Coombs playing Lovecraft (They actually made him look like Bruce Campbell lol)

King Kong Escapes

There are some fun bits here and there, but the movie is mostly underwhelming. And Kong looks like shit here, too. Toho just sucked complete ass at designing him.

King Kong (1976)

Eh... there's parts of it I like, but the leads are nearly insufferable, the "social commentary" is forced, some of the effects are shoddy, and they actually interrupted the New York rampage for a cringe worthy romantic scene. And now I have the sequel to watch, which I understand is really terrible.

King Kong Lives

Recently I've seen Kong: Skull Island (2017)...

There's some potential lost regarding character but overall it was all a fun ride. As you may have heard the movie is equally about King Kong as it is about Skull Island.

I felt that they went cheap with the sequel-baiting but I'm not a fan of the franchise.

7/10

... and The Matrix (1999) for the "I FORGOT"-th time.

I still think it's a great action movie that can put thought-provoking questions at the same time. The pacing was somewhat faster than I remember but hey - it's a movie.

10/10

Very rare a director makes 2 of the very best sequels in film history but Cameron certainly did with T2 & Aliens.

Avatar 2??? ... Lightning strike 3 times (lets not open that can of worms).

King Kong (2005) - Extended Cut

A few issues here and there aside, this film still really works for me. The Skull Island action in general is just awesome, especially the bug pit.

I caught a bit of that myself. Pretty much the perfect action movie.

Saw Logan and Kong: Skull Island in the cinema recently.

Logan was very good but I think perhaps if you took away the hard-edged violence it wouldn't have been quite so memorable. It was certainly a well-crafted film and Jackman was excellent, but perhaps it's getting slightly more raving reviews than I think it deserves. That said, it's excellent for a modern comic book movie.

Kong I ended up enjoying a lot more than I anticipated. Just a really fun film. Plus, as a big lover of 'Nam movies, it was great seeing the cast of Platoon fighting giant monsters, or the helicopter attack squadron from Apocalypse Now doing strafing runs on a 100ft tall ape :)

Hadnt watched it in a while and I still enjoy it, what surprised me though is stuff that annoyed me, i actually realised the reasoning behind (well except Hollaway being a spoilt idiot) and some of the stuff i used to like actually fell flat for me. Which surprised me lol

Life
A fantastic Sci-Fi/Horror. many moments catch you off guard. Some great performances. A must see

Get Out
I'd been looking forward to this for ages and i wasnt disappointed. Go Watch NOW

Iron Man 2
Not as bad as i remembered, although it really spends 40% of its running time setting up The Avengers. Are they ever gonna do anything with Stark's new element?

Michael Jackson This is It
A great behind the scenes look at what could have been a fantastic final set of shows

What a film. So many twists and turns

Very well done revenge drama. The gritty feel was great, and I genuinely didn't see one of the plot turns coming. The same director did Green Room, I'll be watching that soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and that's coming from a fan of the original film, the manga, and sci-fi in general. My only major issues were the somewhat choppy third act, and the generic big bad who was behind everything. Kitano's ridiculous hair deserves an award all on it's own. :laugh:

Ghost in the Shell (1995) - Original Cut

This is my third viewing, and I still greatly enjoy the film. The animation is beautiful, and the philosophical bits of the story are mostly well handled and interesting. The characters are colorful and engaging, too. Really, my issue here is that the plot gets backloaded into the third act a tad. And I do tend to agree with Batou that the Major could have dropped the angst down a notch or two.

Now I'll check out Innocence for the first time... I understand it has so many doves in it that even John Woo would consider their use excessive. :laugh:

My best friend absolutely hated it, which Im not surprised by

Cutthroat Island

This film has a legendary reputation for absolutely tanking and killing off pirate movies for the best part of a decade (until they made the first Pirates of the Caribbean)... but the honest truth is, it's just not that bad. It's overblown, but no more so than the big-budget blockbusters that have followed it, and is just a really entertaining flick that ticks all the necessary pirate boxes. The only reason it bombed so badly is because they spent so much money making it - in the days before CGI, they actually had to build a bunch of full-size pirate galleons for the production.

The flipside of that expense is the budget really shows on screen; this is one hell of a spectacular film. And it ends with what has to be one of the greatest explosions in cinematic history, when they fill one of the huge galleons with a shitton of explosives and blow it up for real.

Oh yeah, this movie is also one of the few to contain a stunt that I just cannot understand how they did it no matter how many times I see it - namely when Geena Davis' character crashes out of a window, rolls down a roof and drops perfectly into the driver's seat of a stagecoach racing underneath the building... all in one single, uninterrupted take. Damn that's an impressive scene.

Exactly. As seen in the trailers, only these kind of movies can you have the Rock push away a torpedo with his bare hands lol.

Its a great switch your brain off film. Not as good as 7, but better than 5/6



Power Rangers (2017)
Nostalgia overload. This was nicely done and oddly respectful to the history, even though its a reboot. Although I didn't like the designs of a couple of the Zords. It was difficult to tell what they were meant to be, even though I knew what they were lol. Elizabeth Banks chews that scenery for all its worth, but it works with Rita. Having Bryan Cranston is a nice touch considering his links to the original series and there are a couple of geeky cameos as well

Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Visually stunning and the story is simplified enough, while still being respectful to the various source materials. Its a great bit of world building and having Takeshi Kitano is always worthwhile. I'd love a sequel, but its doubtful sadly

It's funny you should say that, because I still think Fast Five is by far the best in the series.

Maybe it was because it was just such a huge surprise, coming off the back of three honestly quite forgettable, unimaginative sequels before it... It was such a shock to suddenly have this enormous explosion of insanity with what felt like the budget of all the previous movies combined and doubled backing it up, and just about every character from all the previous entries returning to make it this big ensemble piece. I never would've guessed that what was at that point quite a low-key series, following on from a cult remake of Point Break where cars replaced surfboards, could so instantaneously become this enormous, blockbuster action spectacular.

Plus I honestly think the final safe-dragging chase around Rio at the end is one of the best action sequences of the last decade, and none of the films since have matched it (although, my God have they tried :laugh:).

God damn, that sudden rant brought back some memories of the first time I saw that film in the cinema lol. Honestly not sure I've ever been so pleasantly surprised by a movie.

But yeah, looking forward to the new one :laugh:
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Vertigo on Apr 18, 2017, 02:33:04 PM
Yeah, general consensus is that 1 and 5 are comfortably the best of the series. Hu just basically made all the points about 5 (except Rock. He's become the series' biggest star now really).

With the original film, it may be a rip-off of Point Break, but I'd argue that it's the more enjoyable film despite the lack of Reeves/Swayze tier star wattage. Arguably taps into a richer subculture, great pace, fun action, and you never hear this talked about but it's fantastically filmed. Some of the shots are stunning and there's a real sense that you're seeing something a bit different and a little special.

(Plus the occasional gratuitous arse shot.)

Yeah, when I went back and watched them all  few years back, 5 really took me by surprise. The others weren't terrible (well, maybe 4 was), but Fast Five just went insane. And the Rock was awesome as a crazier version of Sam Gerard. I was actually disappointed in 6 when he just normal Rock in it. And I still haven't seen 7...

Fast & Furious 8, as it's apparently known here in the UK

Really enjoyed it. Still hasn't displaced Five as my favourite, but it was another hefty dose of mental fun. I thought Statham was far better utilised in this than the previous one, where he honestly felt kinda wasted despite playing the main villain, and Helen Mirren as his mum was a riot; I love it when usually respectable actors do something like this just for the lulz. Great to see Kurt Russell with a bigger role too, as I'm a big fan of his.

Paul Walker was sorely missed, and Scott Eastwood as his pseudo-replacement didn't really work (mostly because he mysteriously vanished for virtually all of the final action sequence) although he certainly looked the part and I hope he gets more to do in the future. Damn he looks like his dad.

Anyone else think the gang forgave Statham for killing Han a little too easily?

I would say that them forgiving him is not a problem. At the end of the day, being the bad guy here was a point of view. Statham was after Dom and the others because they "crippled" his brother.  The stuff that our heroes get up to throughout the series is illegal so to some they would be the bad guys.

They were forced into working together and then the revelation that the Shaw could make Cypher the one responsible for his brother being in the position to get hurt help the scenario and then Dom gets the best possible truce present from him

in the form of rescuing his son

. I would be very thankful for that.

I felt they rectconned Statham's character pretty well here.

It's Fast and Furious at the end of the day so if all the action can be that unrealistic then why can't the drama? Lol.

Mirrem was great and so was Russell. Love the Rock. Beast.

I would say this is the best since 5, which is the series best.

Watching it again in preparation for the Engineers episode. I like it well enough, but there are enough annoying bits to knock it down a few pegs for me.

Also, Dune Productions? I suppose the black goo is hyper-concentrated spice, then. :laugh:

The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (Extended Edition)

Still my favorite of the trilogy, as the hopeless and frailty atmosphere is evident and runs well with the book (which of course is still tops). The extra scenes and tidbits really make a difference in this movie, but it seems the following two films' extra scenes don't make that big of a difference imo. Overall, one of my favorite all time films.

10/10

I think a number of the added bits in Two Towers add a lot, like the expanded Rohan scenes and Faramir's flashback, as well as monologue over the dead Haradrim warrior. Return also has Saruman's death scene and the Mouth of Sauron. The extended Paths of the Dead was less than great, though, and felt like the old Peter Jackson came through a tad too much.

The LOTR trilogy really needed to focus on Frodo and his quest.  All the rest is filler.  I thought this when reading the books as well. 

Latest movies I watched:

When A Stranger Calls (2006) - actually a fairly good remake
The Ward (2010) - underrated, a decent John Carpenter film

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)/ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 (2017) IMAX 3D

Went and saw the Double bill last night with the Midnight Screening of Vol 2. Was absolutely fantastic. The visuals popped, the music was great and what a story. The Trailers say almost nothing of what goes on in the film and man does that help. I just absolutely loved it and with both back to back, it does feel like one story.

Kurt Russell is brilliant as always and some great Easter Eggs. A fantastic addition to the MCU

Both very good samurai flicks, even if the first makes you wait for the action and the second literally ends mid-scene. The second also showed me a fight between Zatoichi and (more or less) Itto Ogami, so it earns bonus points for that. :)

The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition, viewed last weekend)

I could on and on about how disorganized this was from the book, but, it Is a movie. Still an awesome movie, with the battle scenes being the best from all three films imo.

9/10

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of the King (Extended Edition)

I remember hoping how this was going to be the greatest of the three back in 2003, keep wishing. I think what rattles me the most is
Spoiler
where The Two Towers ends in the book is almost 3/4 into this film (Frodo is taken by the enemy). Also, waltzing through Mordor never happened. It was pure torture and ultra slow, also Frodo and Sam were naked. Additionally, Saruman goes to the Shire and takes over (for the most part), not being murdered by Grima Wormtongue on top of Orthanc. So the hobbits had to take back the Shire from "Sharku" (old man), marking a battle post-Mordor downfall.
[close]
Like TTT, a great movie nonetheless, but miles away from the book's contents. The extended edition's scenes (especially with The Army Of The Dead) are at points it's redeeming quality.

8/10

On some days, this is my favorite Indy movie.  I like 'Raiders' a lot, too but there's an attitude of menace in this one that holds up even today.  It's a dark nightmare of a movie.  Strangely ahead of its time. 

The only thing that brings this movie down for me is GODDAMNED CAPSHAW'S CONSTANT BLOODY SCREAMING!  Gah!  Mind you, that start sequence 'Anything Goes' is absolutely brilliant on the big screen.  I'd go to the cinema just to see a 3D version of that opener alone.

The third movie was just more of the same.  A repeat of 'Raiders' - but with Sean Connery added for lolz.  What came after that..? 

There's only 3 Indiana Jones movies, right..?   ;)

Independence Day: Resurgence     2/10

What made the first Independence Day enjoyable was the slow build up and then fantastic special effects, this dreadful sequel has none of that. What we get here is terrible acting and dialogue particularly from Deobia Oparei and Jessie T. Usher. Then we have the special effects which are mostly a CGI mess, it's hard to believe we now have to sit through films that look much worse than the ones from 20 years ago. I know that ID was cheesy but I think it was mostly in the 2nd half of the film and it was more carefully placed, this sequel is continually cheesy from the word go right the way through it's two hour running time. So Roland Emmerich waits 20 years to give us this crap, I had really low expectations but it couldn't even meet them...the only positives is that the aliens looked good and I laughed once.

Suicide Squad
I found this way more enjoyable second time around. Leto's Joker was a lot better than I remembered. Still miss some of the bits from the trailer and all it needs is a re-edit to swap some scenes around and itll be 10 times better

Colossal
I loved this mix of Kaiju movie and drama. it was completely different to what I expected. Anne Hathaway puts in a great performance

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
This was really good, loved the cockney elements of Guy Ritchie's earlier films in the first part of the film and the visuals were top notch. I'd really like a sequel to this

The whole betrayal plot gets slightly interesting later on and there were a few creative ideas (not the dozens of cars swarming like a crazy child's playbox, the smell of franchises fetting stale) but the Jason Statham vs. Dwayne Johnson/The Rock thing didn't rise to the expectations in the least.

Blood Father

A solid action thriller, with Mel Gibson being as badass as ever. There are also some fun cameos from William H. Macy and Michael parks. Diego Luna is just about the least intimidating drug dealer ever, though.

Enjoyable film. Watching Mel back in this type of role got me thinking he could easily take up the mantle of an aged Max again. I love Tom Hardy but he's not my Max ;-)

The Collection
An enjoyable sequel, not as good as the first one mind. Would have loved to have seen a full movie set in that nightclub at the start and have a third film be the second half of the film.

Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country (Extended Edition)
Still a fantastic film, and loved the few extended and reinserted scenes, they just add that tiny bit more. What a great send off for the original cast

Baywatch
I loved this film. Took me about 10 minutes to get into it, but once i twigged it was doing a 21 Jump Street, i enjoyed it alot more. Shame we didnt get more "Im Always Here"

I really miss those days. There was a local channel that used to show B sci-fi/horror films every Saturday afternoon just from the 80s to mid 90s, I wish I could have written a journal of just the titles for future viewings. Here was another hilarious one that I do remember:

I really like that film. It's a long way from Ridley's best but it has some great moments. Both Douglas and Takakura are excellent.

I especially love how Douglas' character is a straight-up asshole on paper, yet he manages to make you like him all the same.

Post by: windebieste on Jun 01, 2017, 10:29:52 AM
Aw, yeah. The original is great.  I loved it.  It reminded me of an updated version of Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' when I saw it.   The 2nd one has the material but it seems to be at odds with itself about the story it wants to tell.  Is it a war movie..?  Is it a monster movie..?

Whereas the first movie had these wonderful overtones and metaphor of the danger of introduced (alien) species being dangerous to the environment it's hard to come at that line of interest when the environment is a bombed out f**khole of Middle East war zone.

I enjoyed the 2nd movie, but the setting was an odd choice.  I still don't fully understand why the giant Monsters roaming the open desert weren't just continually being targeted and obliterated by gunships.   I guess there's a level of politics in there somewhere I missed.

It's no wonder Edwards went on to work on 'Godzilla' and 'Star Wars', though.  His first movie was great.

It Follows (2014)    8/10

What a fantastic original horror, it doesn't rely on cheap jump scares. It also has one of the best soundtracks I've heard for a horror. Maybe the last 30 minutes could have been better but for the first hour I was totally gripped. For now on I'll probably be comparing all horror films to It Follows, it sets the bar high.

Highlander: The Search for Vengeance

Basically the only good film in the series outside of the original... and it's an alternate continuity anime spinoff. My only huge gripe is that the Druid ghost character is pretty annoying. He spends a good amount of the film bitching about Colin pursuing his vengeance, and it gets pretty tiresome. The film makes up for it by featuring a decapitation by f**king hand grenade. 8)

The Conjuring 2 (2016)    7/10

I thought the first Conjuring film was decent enough but way overrated, I enjoyed this sequel a bit more. I really liked the main cast and I've always had a big interest in everything to do with the Enfield haunting. It included a lot of little details from the real life case which was nice to see...I also thought they might just dismiss Maurice Grosse but actually they showed him respect. The film has some good music choices from the 60's and 70's from the likes of The Clash, The Hollies and The Bee Gees. Of course towards the end the movie becomes OTT but to be fair that was the most entertaining part. What I didn't like though(spoiler)was when Ed Warren said they didn't have any great proof of the ghost, just a video of Janet faking stuff, he said this just after seeing a door slam in his face on it's own...

Poltergeist (2015)    6/10

Not a patch on the original but at the same time it's not as awful as many people make out. If you like haunted house films then this will pass the time, it adds nothing new but it's not boring. One of the things that made the original Poltergeist special was the oscar nominated score from Jerry Goldsmith, it really added to the atmosphere. This remake fails on that count because I can't remember any notable music. The part where the girl is kidnapped though is done better here.

War of the Worlds (2005)    7/10

The beginning is the best part, in regards to dialogue and suspense. The rest of the movie is still decent enough until the end which is terrible and corny. Good performances from Tom Cruise and Fanning(at the start). The John Williams score is very disappointing though.

Nothing special, but it's a lot better than the first film, and makes for decent time waster horror film. That ending was random as hell batshit insanity, though.

Really great performances from Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, I found the start boring but once these two meet up things improve. I wish they had more dialogue scenes because for me there isn't enough. The ending is really good and it leaves you with a much better lasting impression of the film.

Magic (1978)    2/10

Very predictable and boring. Jerry Goldsmith was one of the great composers but I didn't like his music for this, every time they showed the dummy you would hear the same sound, it became so repetitive and irritating.

I watched a French movie called "Ares" (its on Netflix in the UK). I can't tell you how impressed I was - its shot so beautifully.

Its set in a near-future France where the economy has collapsed and the mega-corps have bailed out the government. Laws have changed and people make money by allowing these big pharma companies to experiment on them. The biggest sport of the day is like an MMA where the pharmas have their fighters, each one pumped up on their brand of performance dope.

A sci-fi thriller with Blade Runner-ish visuals and a smattering of MMA violence (its not the main thing in the story at all), this quite a bleak movie ... it has a very grimy feel to it, everyone hustling to make the next rent cheque. See it if you can!

You need to give that another chance.  Excellent film.

I thought Corky just had mental problems but at one point you see the eyes on the dummy blink on their own, so I'm not sure what to think now. Plus at the end the womans voice changed...

I don't think my opinion of the film would change if I saw it again, for the reasons given. I knew he would be behind the curtain when he did the stabbing and that the guy in the water would wake up...

The Thing (1982). If it wasn't for Alien then Carpenter's creepy take on Campbell's Who Goes there would be my number 1 all time favourite scifi horror film.

Morricone's opening score is still close to my all time favourite piece of music in a film - it's so bloody haunting.
The whole film has such a feeling of dread and foreboding that is unmatched in my book. The FX are legendary and the cast are superb.
It still is a very uncomfortable film to watch ... and I totally love it.

This film for me is Carpenter's best - Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York the other 3 that follow close.

Makes me thing I would've loved to have seen Carpenter have a crack at an Alien film with Kurt Russell on board. Would've have a lot of synth in the soundtrack mind ;-)

People always talk about Bullitt and The French Connection, and while those films were certainly revolutionary with what they did, for me this has always been the benchmark for cinematic car chases. In fact, it doesn't just have one utterly excellent chase sequence, it has two (although the epic one around Paris towards the end is definitely the more famous of the pair).

It's also just a great, twisty thriller - nothing you know at the beginning of the film is true by the time you get to the end, and you only learn what's really going on in the final ten minutes. The plot isn't terribly groundbreaking, but I love the way it's presented - very little is clearly spelt out, and with all the double-crossing and mistrust going on, you often have to really pay attention and infer from the dialogue what people are really saying. The characters may be clichés to a large degree but they all stand out and stars Robert De Niro and Jean Reno, two of my favourite actors, are both particularly great in their roles.

It's a shame this film kinda sank without a trace when it was released, because it's a really excellent flick, one of my all-time favourites. It's rare to find a film that works so well as both a smart spy thriller and an exhilarating action movie.

Oh yeah, also...

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

This wasn't as bad as I expected, but not particularly good, either. Charlie Hunnam and Jude Law are both pretty damn good, and the score is fantastic. The rest of the film is a hugely mixed bag, running the gamut from grim and gritty to insane and over the top. How the sword gets in the stone here is an example of the latter, and I have zero clue what the hell Ritchie and Wigram were smoking when they came up with that one. The supporting cast is either awful or is given nothing to work with, and scenes are very obviously cut out. The CGI is downright embarrassing for a big studio film. I've seen mid-budget video games with more impressive effects. The film also has more montages than f**king Rocky IV, if you can believe that. :laugh:

Um okay, I have to say I was pretty bored with this until the final battle. This film kept no track of if characters were meant to be alive or not. Autobots would appear and disappear with no rhyme or reason. I spent most of it thinking of ways to retcon the hell out of it to fit it in with what happened previously. I think I was pretty successful apart from a couple of bits lol

I'd say that's the weakest of the four, but it's still an amazing film. The opening scene is probably one of the funniest things they ever did. Above all, no matter how mediocre anything else might get, Gibson and Glover's winning chemistry elevates it to something special.

Yeah, I'm with Huntsman - The Lost World for me is one of those sequels that gets an unfair amount of hate just because it doesn't live up to the original. And yeah, Postlethwaite owns it.

Is there even much they could add in an extended version? I've never really read about any major cuts being made.

There's a long-standing belief that the cut shown in cinemas in 1993 had some additional footage that hasn't been used in subsequent releases. Ellie grabs a leaf from the Jeep just after they land on the island (it's what she's talking about when they see the Brachiosaurus), and there's another bit of extra footage where they resolve why the Triceratops is sick. I was only 7 at the time, so may be misremembering, but could have sworn I saw those in the cinema. The leaf grab was even used in the film's trailer.

It's not exactly stuff that turns a five-star film into a six-star, but like Fiorina says, it'd just be nice to have more Jurassic Park. The material definitely exists, the potential urban legend is whether it was in the original theatrical cut.

There's more about the cut stuff here (http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/Jurassic_Park_Deleted_Scenes), not sure how much of it was filmed though.

The Descent (2005)    2/10

Surely one of the most overrated horrors, it's even worse than I remembered. The part where they get trapped in the cave is scarier than anything that happens later on with the creatures. The action is terrible, it's all jumpy quick shots so it's hard to focus on anything, even harder because it's so dark! There is one good OMG moment but the longer the film goes on the less believable it all becomes and I didn't care about any of the characters.

The Descent: Part 2 (2009)      3/10

This is even less believable than the first one, starts ok but once they enter the cave it quickly goes downhill, annoying characters and lots of OTT gore. It's easier to see whats going on though. I would rate it lower but it gains points for the ending and the scene when the main characters get shitted on. Being trapped in a cave with creatures is a great idea for a horror especially if you're claustrophobic like me, the execution is really poor though in both films.

I loved he original when I saw it. I gave up on the remake after about five minutes of that family screaming at each other.

Great film, but I think it could maybe lose one or two subplots and not be hurt all that much.

Also, goddamn this DVD looks like shit. Too bad the blu-ray is yet another Mann dick around edit.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

This was great fun, and might be my favorite Spidey film yet.



Point Blank

Not a bad film by any means, and it features two great performances from Lee Marvin and John Vernon, but reading the book first was a mistake. Walker lacks the utter ruthlessness of Parker, which is a definite disappointment. And I find all the theories about Walker being a ghost or having a dying dream or whatever to be kind of funny, if I'm being honest.

Yes it is. I think its worth tracking down, its a typical early 90's action flick and its on Youtube so shouldn't be too hard to find lol



The Rundown
Okay this was released as Welcome to the Jungle in the UK, with the Rundown being its US title, but oddly on British TV last night, they had the American title on. And enjoyable film, shame we never got a sequel

I saw "The Girl with All the Gifts". After I watched it, I read the reviews and it seems I'm in a minority. I read a lot of really really positive stuff, but for me - after a brilliant set up the film just went downhill and had a really (really!) poor ending. None of it made any sense - as in the film's logic just didn't add up.

It was really disappointing overall. But the performances were all brilliant - I have to say that: everyone smashed it.

My favourite story about that is how Pesci went on to film the first Home Alone immediately afterwards, and apparently every time his character got hurt and was supposed to grumble incoherently, he'd instead launch into full Tommy DeVito mode and start hurling expletives. Needless to say they had to cut and go again :laugh:

Hacksaw Ridge.

It's a shame Mel Gibson's a bit of a knob, because he's one hell of an actor/director. This was a superb film. Fantastically inspiring true story as well. (For those who don't know, it's about Desmond Doss, a Christian medic who refused to carry a weapon in WWII and ended up saving 75 men's lives during the Battle of Okinawa and receiving the Medal of Honor for his exploits.) If I had any complaint, it's that the otherwise incredibly brutal battle sequences were slightly spoiled by having people somersaulting through the air after an explosion like it was Commando, but it was a minor quibble. This is still the best war film I've seen in a long time (Dunkirk included).

Still yet to see Hacksaw Ridge. As for Mel well he certainly has his demons but I'll always have a soft spot for him given my Aussie heritage.

Curious what is your favourite war movie?

Mine is Apocalypse Now. Probably the only war film that isn't really a war film at all in some respects (that's a very long discussion on why I said that too). Really would love to see this film get a 4K remaster of the Redux.

I'm a big fan of his, from Mad Max to Lethal Weapon to Braveheart to We Were Soldiers he's been in/made some absolutely fantastic movies. Just not sure he's such a nice guy in real life. Still, as someone once told me - it's the art, not the artist. No questioning his professional record.

Quote from: Prez on Jul 27, 2017, 02:07:21 PMCurious what is your favourite war movie?

Platoon. Superb film, made all the more interesting/scary by the fact every character in it was based on someone Stone actually knew/met while he was serving in Vietnam.

Special mention to Saving Private Ryan too, just because I remember it coming out, seeing it for the first time and thinking, "Holy shit, this is what war must really be like." It was so much more visceral than anything I (or anyone else beyond the guys who have done it for real) had seen before. Nothing else before or since has even come close to matching that D-day sequence.

47 Metres Down (also known as In The Deep) - average shark film ... The Shallows was far better.

The Thing (2011 prequel) - been wanting to rewatch this for a while. Carpenter's original film is in my top 3 films of all time. This one wasn't bad - marred by the studios' decision to go with shitty CGI instead of ADI practical effects.

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), today's special - England.

Pretty good overall. Expands on the mythos even though I was dissapointed that

(Big spoilers, beware)

Spoiler

Unicron is recognized as Earth's core. I was totally blown away by the idea as a kid and while I'm no junkie I would've loved to see him in action...which will never happen 'cuz one simply doesn't kill planet Earth.

Maybe I'm prone to comparisons since I'm playing through the System Shock series at the moment but Quintessa = SHODAN in physical form. Add "Q" to "princess" and you get her name.

Cybertron is almost Dead Space-worthy. Those full shots got me uncomfortable...until one shot near the finale shows that it's a bit smaller than Earth. Tension lost.
[close]

(Mild spoilers for the curious)

Spoiler

The suggested SJW crap ain't much; the girl from the trailers ends up being an aide to other main characters and that's it.

Optimus Prime was all one-liners and a bit too melodramatic if you ask me.

Bumblebee during WW2 is stuff legends are made of.
[close]

It's nothing more than a good popcorn movie. The ending is open to sequels (as usual, gotta please the producers) but if Age of Extinction's wasn't pleasing enough then this one surely will be.

8/10

I agree with your points. It was some of those things that took me out of the movie. I had thought of ways to retcon the film for my own personal mindset, but now Ive forgotten most of them. Which means I may have to rewatch it to remember what I thought of lol



Baby Driver
Wow, what a film and better than I expected because it was different to what I expected. And that soundtrack. Damn :)

War for the Planet of the Apes
What a film. Perfectly balanced and what a way to end a trilogy. If this is the end of course. You wouldn't think the apes are CGI, that's the crazy bit

Nowhere near as good as Burton's two (would've been closer if the studio hadn't cut it to pieces and removed all the darker stuff, including the f*cking scene that explains the title :laugh:) and TLJ plays a crap, second-rate, Joker rip-off of a Two-Face, but it's got just enough good in it for me to enjoy it.

Love how Batman offs Two-Face, even if it was totally stolen from the Animated Series (and makes no sense given how the film shows us he doesn't much care for his coin toss anyway lol).

I re-watched Elysium last night. Stellar visuals but threadbare plot. Predictably, Sharlto Copley is the highlight.

Really enjoyed this. Once again, Sharlto Copley's character was the unquestionable highlight, but all the characters were fun. If I had a critique, it's that a film that's basically one continuous shootout was a lot slower than I expected, but it was still a very entertaining movie.

Lol. That led to so much confusion when I finally got the Blu-ray and realised I'd never been watching the actual theatrical version for so many years.

I can only imagine, as I only now about that from what I've. What a clusterf**k. :laugh:



The Dark Tower

Okay... this wasn't as bad as I was expecting based on the reviews and general buzz, but it still wasn't very good. Elba and McConnaughey are both very good for what they're given, and there are two scenes in particular that fire on all cylinders and really show how good this could have been. Aside from that, though, it's a thoroughly middle of the road, forgettable film, that plays things way too safe and moves way too quickly to really leave much of an impression.

Arrival

Finally got to watch this last night with the missus.

What a brilliant cerebal sci-fi. Had a massive Nolan-esque twist plot wise but was wonderfully written and acted.

Villeneuve keeps making great films (bodes well for Blade Runner 2049).

Wouldn't mind see him have a go at an Alien film.

Jackie Brown
Great movie, tarred slightly by pretentious types who prattle on about how "mature" it is and how QT should just "grow up" and keep making it a million more times.

The Uninvited
Not bad, and has some well done atmosphere, but it's more of a melodrama with a ghost hanging around than a ghost movie. Ray Milland is always a welcome presence, though.

Papillon
A truly harrowing experience. Great film all around.



The Darjeeling Limited
Well, I suppose even the greats have their duds. This had its moments, but really didn't amount to a whole lot. It felt more like a string of semi-connected ideas than a movie.

Jurassic Park (1993)    5.5/10

I remember the hype when this was first released and I came out the cinema disappointed. Take Spielbergs classic Jaws, it had fantastic characters and memorable dialogue among other things, it's like the shark was secondary and it had to be really. That's not the case here, dino's come first, if you take away the dino action which isn't that much and the nice music it has little else to offer. Jeff Goldblum is alright but these characters are forgettable really. Also why would Sam Neill's character pretend to get electrocuted and start shouting his head off, wouldn't that attract unwanted attention...seems like a dumb thing for someone with his experince to do. The raptors at the end are really great but it's not enough, Jurassic Park isn't a bad film just very mediocre.

The only thing that was groundbreaking was the special effects. Jaws came out nearly two decades earlier and is a better film than JP in every other way.

I was "old enough to appreciate what an event" it was, I've already stated that I saw it at the cinema on it's release. The critics were also old enough because their reviews date back to 1993...

That's the real problem now.  Movies that deserve more attention don't get the exposure they need simply because haters drive audiences away.  I'll provide you with a recent example of my own experience.

I saw the new 'Ghostbusters' movie and loved it.  I thought it was great!  Yet I almost didn't see it simply because of all the bad press that was generated by the loud mouth haters.  I've seen other movies, too, that were basically trashed by similar means and found those movies to be much more deserving of a positive response. 

Of course, I can't say that all movies that have been panned in this way deserve a better chance - some movies are just thoroughly bad.  'Terminator Genisys' for example was such a mixed up movie, it was bad; but other movies like 'ALIEN: Covenant' certainly deserve more positive attention than what they get; and the bandwagonning that results from such big mouth 'critics' is indicative of audiences weened on way too much popcorn and bubblegum main features.

I liked it.  It isn't trying to be like Star Wars.  It isn't The Fifth Element remake, either.  It's its own thing.  Although the blue people reminded me of Avatar, not that that movie is the most original.  There are some similarities to Star Wars as well, but the source material pre-dates Star Wars.   The dance sequence by that pop star (forget her name), is my favourite scene in the film.

I finally got around to watching "Some Kind of Monster" which I'm afraid to say was more like Spinal Tap than anything else. I think it was really brave of the band to release this movie as it shows them to be complete bell-ends who've entirely lost touch with anything that resembles reality (well except for Hammett who seems grounded).

Its an interesting study of what life-long fame can do to people - Hetfield and Ulrich come across as so utterly self-absorbed that if you weren't aware it was a real thing you'd think it was a mockumentary.... except that you couldn't make it up... that they hire a 40k a week shrink to follow them around and help them "express their truth"... Ulrich sells his paintings for millions of dollars... Hetfield disappears to Russia to shoot bears... they dismiss Newstead (probably because he came across as the most honest person there) after 14 odd years of service when they get their icon award ("he stopped being an icon when he left Metallica") - despite the fact that Hetfield admits that "he doesn't want anyone to have any other projects apart from Metallica" - which is why Newstead felt he had to leave to do his rock/metal/jazz fusion band or whatever it was. (then they all start arguing over who's the most controlling.)

Amazing movie to watch. I still can't believe its real.

Good film though. Really does look like it could be a side-quel to Alien. Only bit I don't like is (Spoiler for Hicks, this is near the end :P)
Spoiler
when Connery uses a really dumb trick to make one of the hitmen shoot out a window and kill himself like an absolute moron. You'd think ConAm would've hired guys who understand the dangers of space to try and kill someone in space. It really sticks out like an idiotic thumb in the film because the rest of it is so grounded and real.

Now I know this film has had mixed reviews but I did actually enjoy it. Although I do agree with some of the criticism, that its muddled, moves a bit too quick and mixes in too much from the various books (Although to me, it took stuff more from 1, 2, 5 and 7). The film needed to be al least 30 minutes longer and should have been at least a 15/R
I doubt it will get a sequel (well depending on how the Prequel TV series does anyway), but I do have ideas on how to and what to use for a sequel

They're the salvager suits from Aliens iirc. I finished watching it last night and I really enjoyed it. I could also see a lot of Sevastopol in there. Especially around the police areas. I have to wonder if they took some inspiration from there too.

Inspired by Hicks trying it, I also gave Outland a re-watch last night (in one sitting :P). Still slightly bugs me how dumb the hitmen end up being, but an entertaining film and obviously of far greater interest to fans of Alien. I love the multi-level sleeping quarters set where the miners bunk up, it's absolutely fantastic. Oh and I completely forgot one of the hitmen was Hatchet Harry from Lock, Stock... :laugh:

Death Note (2017)

This a weird one for me. It's overall well made, looks beautiful, and has a great sense of style.The cast is pretty good, with Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley being the standouts, and the first two acts are fairly decent, albeit with some awkward editing and pacing that's typical of Adam Wingard's work.

But dear Christ, the third act is awful. Supposedly smart characters start acting like idiots and in ways that don't make sense for how they're developed, the sheer amount of plotting and counter plotting and counter counter plotting is ridiculous, and it all culminates with one of the most laughably awful, out of place music cues I've seen in a movie.

About the reboot - I hear ya but then again I'm all for it too - even as a big fan of Perlman as Big Ol Red, I'm also more keen to see a more Mignola-verse based film. The Hellboy films were great fun but they were more in Del Toro land than the comics I've read for the past decade.

Looking forward to see where they take this... that said shame Perlman isn't involved (but then again he's no spring chicken now). Really hoping this opens up more BPRD, Abe and even Lobster Johnson films too.

Necronomicon: Book of the Dead

Well, that was pretty bad on the whole. The first story had some decent ideas and effects, and Bruce Payne gives probably the most invested performance in the whole thing, but it doesn't completely work. The second story is mostly boring, with the exception of David Warner who's always at least a little watchable. The third is just crap, with bad acting and a completely out of place pro life theme. The wraparound is silly and disposable, the only notable thing about it being Jeffrey Combs playing Lovecraft and looking like Bruce Campbell for some reason.  Much of it is written by the guy who did Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which explains a lot. :laugh:

T2 - Judgment Day 3D
Fantastic. while not all the film needed 3D, where it showed was spot on. The future war stuff, Opening Credits, Nightmare and The Steelworks all spot on in 3D. Was just fantastic to finally see the theatrical cut after seeing the TV cut and Extended Edition. Although I would have loved to have seen the Extended Version in 3D at the cinema

Also any time there was an explosion throwing debris at the screen looked great.

The Dark Tower
Now I know this film has had mixed reviews but I did actually enjoy it. Although I do agree with some of the criticism, that its muddled, moves a bit too quick and mixes in too much from the various books (Although to me, it took stuff more from 1, 2, 5 and 7). The film needed to be al least 30 minutes longer and should have been at least a 15/R
I doubt it will get a sequel (well depending on how the Prequel TV series does anyway), but I do have ideas on how to and what to use for a sequel

I wouldn't say mixed reviews, 16% on Rotten Tomatoes is terrible. :laugh:

Had to watch this after Detroit as it was on and I needed something to lighten my mood. What a film. a classic trilogy ender

This comedy deserves a lot more love. Duchovny and Jones has brilliant timing together

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - Enjoyable and very funny romp. Took it up a few notches on the gags from the first one. I find these characters so much more relatable & memorable than the other Marvel cookie cutter films.

It comes at night - Had really high hopes for this one. Despite the very dark, slow brooding pace of the film I was ultimately left disappointed by the rather rushed and blunt ending. Perhaps the trailers hinted at something more (which I won't spoil).

Yeah, those old releases were censored (a lot). I don't remember it being on TV for years so no doubt SMC got hold of a modern, passed-uncut copy for their showing.

In fact, British TV screenings often seem to be ahead of physical releases when it comes to catching up with the BBFC relaxing their censorship criteria - I've seen Arnie's Eraser uncut on TV several times, but it's yet to get an uncut home video release in the UK as far as I'm aware.

Sounds like it yeah. It was great watching the full version. It was weird because the stuff they cut was pretty tame, surprising but tame compared to what gets through today.

Yes Eraser is a prime example. The VHS had the crocodile stuff and the train at the end cut, yet the past couple of years its been uncut on TV

Yeah, I saw that the other night. I wish it had been NWOBHM instead of the doom/death stuff... but it was still awesome. I loved the metal-horn handshake - spot on.

I watched "Eliminators" with Scott Adkins. It's entirely shot in London using British actors - yet for some reason, Brummie Adkins is playing American FBI Agent Martin Thomas. Well, not for some reason - the reason is that production companies don't think the US audience will root for a hero unless he's from the US. That's pretty silly in my view, but there you are.

Got to say, for direct to DVD WWE funded actioner, this one was great (it had a wrestler called Wade Barrett as the main baddie). There were enough plot holes to drive a truck through and special agent Thomas oftentimes neglected his training... why...? Cos then he could beat more people up in a brutal and devastating way. Because reasons. Because boss fight.

It was ace. Loved it. And there's an ace twist with the "love interest."

Moana. I cried several times. :'(

It was pretty obvious it was following the "Disney formula", but honestly that didn't bother me. The formula might be a tad overused, but as a concept it's not bad at all. Besides, it worked in this movie. So no complaints from me! :)

But what really sold me to the movie was the music. Haven't heard this good Disney music since their renaissance era. And I was seriously impressed by Auli'i's voice acting, considering it was her first role. Kid's got serious talent.

I've seen that - I love those kind of movies. Honestly, there's some brilliant (and not so brilliant) stuff in the independent action market. I met Gary in a boozer in Clapham Junction and we got rat-arsed... he's a really cool bloke! (I think I posted a picture of it here, actually).

I hope that Scott Adkins isn't going to stay on this direct-to-dvd train, though - he's a really really good actor and I'd love to see him in bigger productions.

The censorship on Eraser is mental. You literally don't even see the main villains die in the cut version :laugh:

Yeah its like they struggle to get free then its a cut to half way through a different music cue lol


We are Still Here
Damn was this film creepy. Reminded me alot of The Changing in places, but with some more gore. The atmosphere is intense and deserves to be seen.

Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhal puts in a great performance here. A spot on Sociopath. Its amazing how far people will go

Invaders from Mars
An enjoyable remake. was surprised it was shown at 4pm considering its a 15. Do wonder if they took some of the dialogue from the original lol

In The House
A good French Drama from Francois Ozon

"IT" 5/5

Although not as horrifying as I was expecting it to be it still pulled through with solid characters and memorable Pennywise moments, I can acknowledge the lack of fright to be because I am not a child, if I was a child however this film most likely would have given me nightmares for a few nights.
A solid movie and a recommend for a any fans of horror movies and even fans of creature movies.

IT (2017)
Now I really loved this film. The most full ive seen a cinema screen in a while. Found it really scary in places and I think the fact there were plenty of people watching made it more so. At one point someone got so scared, they dropped all their Smarties on the floor, which got everyone laughing as it broke the tension. But then the tension built back up again. The kids were spot on here and Bill Skarsgaard was perfect as the new Pennywise. Bring on Chapter Two

Damn, this film was fantastic. so much better than I expected. Shame it only seems to have been shown at the cinema for 2 weeks (The showing I saw seemed to be the last one at my cinema). Bill Nighy is spot on, although it would have been interesting to see what Alan Rickman would have done with the role, considering it was his before Cancer forced him to drop out. Olivia Cooke is brilliant. I just found this film to be perfect.

"Preservation" 4/5

A film about a man, his wife and his army vet brother going out deer hunting only to be hunted themselves, by a group of masked killers...

It was a decent flick, although the third act wasn't as fulfilling as I'd hoped it'd be it is still a decent ending none the less.

"Final Girl" 4/5

A movie about a teen girl who was a orphaned at a young age and then raised to be an assassin who trains to hunt and kill serial killers all over the country side, a very interesting movie
Abigail Breslin did a decent job as the main antagonist but you could tell she wasn't as well trained for the fight choreography as she could have been but still she did a passable job.

Legend (1985).

As fantasy films go this whole film feels like a weird dream. I've read about some of Scott's more darker suggestions for the film - glad they didn't go ahead with them. That said it still is a somewhat darker fairytale film.

Visually it's stunning at times. Oddball but enjoyable.

Meg Mucklebones is still as creepy as I remember her as a kid back in the 80s.

I think you may enjoy it. I was surprised as well, the Trailers didn't hint at the violence. So I expected a standard 15

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

The overall consensus I've seen seems to be that this isn't as good as the first, but to be perfectly honest I enjoyed it just as much as The Secret Service. It obviously didn't have the added element of surprise that the first movie had, but I thought the action sequences were generally better this time around (that awesome church scene from the first notwithstanding), the soundtrack was stellar, Julianne Moore was clearly having a ball as the villain, her doomsday plot was again curiously thought-provoking and all the new American Statesmen characters were great. Colin Firth's return was handled well, better than I expected actually, giving him a chance to do some genuine acting. I also loved that
Spoiler
Eggsy's training rival from the first film returned as the villain's cybernetically-enhanced henchman. Not only was it a neat link to the first movie, it really reminded me of Comrade Bionic Barry from Archer, and reminding me of Archer is only ever a good thing :laugh:
[close]

So much fun. Hope they do another as there was a good set-up for the future at the end, would love to see this turned into an ongoing franchise. They may be comedies, but they recall so much of the over-the-top fun that the Bond series used to have in the 70s and 80s, something that franchise has lost in the last decade, and it's great to see it back.

Oh yeah, and Elton John is in this and is genuinely awesome and I'm being deadly serious about that.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Disappointed in this. There are some solid action bits, and the middle once Statesmen finally makes its appearance is pretty good, but that's about it. The first act is a jumbled mess, focused way too much on the pointless romantic subplot (which keeps f**king coming), which feels like it's only there to appease the whiny crybabies who bitched about the last movie's ending. And the irritating, unfunny, stupid as hell political/social satire in the third act is just crap. And why even bother bringing Harry back if he's going to barely do anything other than hallucinate butterflies and look like a chump in the bar scene? Boggles the mind. Also, this is the second movie this year with a bizarre, out of nowhere John Denver fascination.

Standoff with Thomas Jane and Lawrence Fishburne.

Taut little movie - I really liked it, but the reviews were mixed. Basically, a little girl photographs Fishburne's assassin killing people at a funeral and flees to depressed alcoholic (but fortunately ex-ranger) Jane's gaff. The two men injure each other in the initial exchange of gun fire and then are holding their positions - Jane at the top of the stairs, Fishburne in the front room.

Jane has a shotgun with one shell left, Fishburne is hurt worse than Jane. He wants the girl ... Jane refuses...

It's a great setup and they answer all the obvious questions (why doesn't he burn the house down and all that stuff)... as I say, I really liked it.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
While not a fantastic film. It deserved better than to bomb like it did. James Gandolfini is a riot.

The Fifth Element
A beautifully designed film. Still strikes me now. even if the story is simple. I love Gary Oldman's accent in this

Critters 2
Mick Garris's directorial debut and he co-wrote the script with David "Pitch Black" Twohy. The Critter ball is my fave bit

Jeepers Creepers
Still creepy. A great film and forgot how late in the game The Creepers true form is revealed

Jeepers Creepers 2
A more over the top sequel. But with it being the final day it makes sense. Ray Wise easily steals it. Hope he comes back for a possible 4th film (which would essentially be a rewritten newer Cathedral). I do have an idea for a prequel set in 1886

Alien Resurrection - Director's Cut.

I still find enjoyment in this one. It has all of Juenet's trademark Euro centric weirdness mixed with some interesting gothic horror.
For all it's faults, visually this one is a great looking film. The set design and VFX are great. Some of the CGI shows it age mind.

It does introduce some out there concepts to the Alien universe... that newborn is still silly.

I felt the cast was really strong and I enjoyed most of the characters. Ripley 8's personality was always intriguing to me.

It really is the bastard "spin off" child to the first 3 films ... I totally get the hate for it but I've really grown quite fond of it.

Well, the whole thing is French whimsy, isn't it? Look, Jeunet makes not bones about that, they were making some sort of black comedy, egged on by Weaver herself who clearly had way too much influence over the production (then again, without her there wouldn't have been a production I guess)... it's all too artsy and up its own arse for me.

I've said it a few times - Resurrection is a good film, it's just a bad Alien film. Tonally it feels more like a horror spinoff of The Fifth Element, which is fine, it's just wrong for an Alien movie. I can quite enjoy it for what it is.

Incidentally, the extended chapel scene in the Special Edition is really good. Sigourney's great in it. A shame it got cut. Funny how most of the extensions in the longer cut seem to be bits that more directly reference the previous movies.

Star Trek The Motion Picture.
Saw this film around 1981 or 1982 and loved it back then even as a 10 year old. It's where my love affair with the USS Enterprise started (she's still my all time favourite starship).

The film is long and quite slowly paced but the exploration of V'Ger always captivates me. I get most people prefer Wrath of Khan (which is a great film) given it's much more entertaining but this one still holds a place in my heart and always will.

The music is stellar especially the Klingon intro score.

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines
Well what a piece of s**t this was. No wonder Declan O'Brien didn't come back for a fourth film. His three were B*****ks. Doug Bradley was th best thing in it, but that wasn't hard. The cast were all Brits, playing Americans, while filming in Eastern Europe, pretending to be America

Speaking of which:

Puppet Master X: Axis Rising

Leave it up to Charlie Band to somehow make a film featuring a Nazi werewolf puppet named Weremacht boring as f**k. Between the leads hanging out in a house with a guy who looks like a taller Cotton Hill and doing nothing and the irritating as hell love triangle on Nazi side of things, I could barely stay awake.

Blade Runner 2049. You really need to watch the original first if you've not seen it in a while - this is a true sequel to it, so it's worth immersing yourself in 2019 first.

Blade Runner 2049
OMFG was this film brilliant. Visually stunning, the music was perfect. I just loved everything about it. It didnt even seem nearly 3hrs long to me. This was the perfect pace for the film as it being quicker would have spoilt it for me. Best Film of the Year

Almost Famous - Theatrical Cut
I hadnt seen this film in ages and it was as good as i remembered. Spot on ensemble. The music rocked too

Daylight
Sony Movie Channel seems to be showing this alot lately. Still an enjoyable disaster film. I'd forgotten some of the people who appeared in this like; Viggo Mortenson, Danielle Harris and Stan Shaw :)

Heist
An enjoyable movie starring Gene Hackman and Danny Devito (Even though the TV kept saying that Robert De Niro was in it lmfao) by David Mamet. Although it could have done with out the Twist after Twist after Twist of the last 20 minutes. And one character didnt deserve his fate. Was stupid. Thats the only thing that let it down for me

Well that certainly was something. Quite the mindf**k. Not quite sure what was going on. I gave up trying to figure it out about an hour in. But I still enjoyed its freakiness. Shame this failed at the box office, but I assume that's because people weren't expecting what was on screen as the trailer gives NOTHING away. Damn the final half hour though

Blade Runner - Final Cut

In prep for seeing 2049 tomorrow night. What more is there to say on the original except after watching Alien and Legend recently you can really tell a Ridley Scott film when you watch one (well his earlier stuff). Such visual delights... odd to think neither Prometheus or Covenant match up visually to his older films (not to say they looked crap either) but there was something about Scott's use of smoke and lighting in his earlier films.

I still feel sorry for poor JF Sebastian.

Blade Runner 2049

Apart from one or two very small issues I had, I loved every single minute of this. I still like the first one more, but 2049 was just about everything I could have wanted from a sequel. This is a film that could make someone fall in love with the medium, or reignite said love. Bravo to Villeneuve and company for pulling it off... and thank Christ that Riddles knew to leave well enough alone this time. Random nude Engineers aside, that is. :laugh:

Post by: Baron Von Marlon on Oct 15, 2017, 05:38:13 AM
Bit of a movie nutter myself so I thought I start posting here too.

Here's a lot I've seen the last week (weeks?)

A bunch of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies (all dubbed) and I still got a few more to watch.

They Call Me Trinity (1970)
Trinity Is Still My Name (1971)
All The Way Boys (1972)
Odds And Evens (1978)
Watch Out, We're Mad (1974)
Crime Busters (1977)
Who Finds A Friend Finds A Treasure (1981)
Go For It (1983)
Double Trouble (1984)
Good times...

Hell House LLC (2016)
C
Not great but ok as far as found footage goes.

The Crucifixion (2017)
Meh.
Possession/demon flick set in Eastern Europe. Starts out alright but quit caring towards the end.

Brawl In Cell Block 99 (2017)
A-
Solid crime drama with some brutal violence and an excellent Vince Vaughn. Perhaps his best performance yet.
From the writer/director of Bone Tomahawk. I'm already looking forward to his next movie: Dragged Across Concrete. Another crime-drama with Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson as cops becoming criminals.
One annoying bit though, there a scene during broad daylight that's ruined by the blue-grey lense thing they applied, making it look to dark. But it's a short scene.

The Babysitter (2017)
B
Entertaining horror-comedy. It's about a geeky 12-year old and his babysitter. Knowing more would spoil things.
Netflix certainly got the colouring right. Guess they read the article on Cracked.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: KiramidHead on Oct 15, 2017, 07:27:16 PM
Firestarter

There are some okay bits here and there, but the overall film is kind of weak.



Christine (1983)

I liked this one a lot more on a second view, even if the bull looks like he's pushing 40 and Bad to the Bone is a bit of an on the nose musical choice. And I've not read the book in this case, but I've heard it's not one of King's greatest.

John Wick
Finally got the chance to see this and it kicked ass. Love the world building and the ensemble behind Keanu was great.

10 Cloverfield Lane
Was not the film I was expecting, but still enjoyed it. John Goodman was spot on. So is this set in the same universe as the first one or not?

Sisters
Could have been better, but was fun. It could have been 20 minutes shorter. John Cena's appearance was great and the supporting cast was actually better than the main two

Maximum Overdrive
Lol so bad its enjoyable and what a soundtrack ;)

National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
Funny. Tim Curry is brilliant and its always funny to see SLJ headbang

Ghostbusters 2
While not as good as the first one, its still enjoyable. The court room sequence is great as well as the visual of the River of Slime

When a Stranger Calls
An okay remake, just a modern version. doesn't really add much except Lance Henriksen's voice

We're The Millers
Just Brilliant. The whole cast is perfect and bounce well off each other

Licence to Kill

My listening to the theme song lately, coupled with a post about it on Facebook, inspired me to put this on. So much more brutal than any other Bond film. Always been a favourite, from right back when I was definitely too young to be watching this one :laugh:

I remain gutted that Dalton got screwed out of doing any more after this.

Also, I've seen this loads of times, but I literally only just noticed this time around that after Bond has killed Sanchez, all of the people he's been bribing and threatening during his reign of terror throw a huge party at his mansion to celebrate :laugh:

A sort of spiritual sequel to Mrs Brown. I really enjoyed this. when it went Comedic it pulled it off and when it went Tragic it was heartbreaking. Eddie Izzard knows how to play a B*****d

Out for Justice
An okay earlier Steven Seagal movie. just so nonsensical, but hysterical none the less

Geostorm
a pretty enjoyable disaster flick. More on the Armageddon end of the spectrum than 2012. Although the reason for it all happening let it down for me.

Hook
Hadnt seen this in years. an enjoyable film, just not as good as I remember

I liked it better than the first and in some ways this one would've been more suitable as a part 1 than a sequel.

The greatest thing about that movie is how accurate it is in depicting British squaddies. I have mates in the armed forces and they all agree that no other movie has ever done such a good job of portraying your average bunch of British soldiers. They just happen to be fighting werewolves.

One of my favourites. The commentary's also a hoot, especially the segments with all the cast sitting in a room together taking the piss out of each other while the movie plays.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Return of the King
Great films. The perfect way to do a middle and end of a planned trilogy. But I do agree with the not needing multiple endings for ROTK. I wonder if anyone would attempt a mass edit of all six films into one Mammoth film lol. Yes a glutton for punishment me lol

The Death of Stalin
Not as good as I thought it would be, but still pretty enjoyable and what a cast. Jason Issacs is brilliant for the short amount of screen times he has

Southbound
An okay anthology film from the people behind VHS. It could have done with going a tiny bit more into the background of the stories and history. But its always difficult to get the right balance in these kind of films

Texas Chainsaw 3D

This alternated between being hilariously shitty and just plain shitty, leaning towards the latter. If it had been hilarious throughout, this very well could have been the Samurai Cop of Chainsaw movies, but nope.



Leatherface

Honestly, this really wasn't too bad. It's a decently put together movie (that actually knows how to count, unlike the last one), with okay acting and a plot that mostly works. Really, the biggest issue is that they get way too clever with the Leatherface origin, and it feels kind of random. That and they cut some of the better parts of the script out or reshot them.

Really enjoyed John Wick Chapter 2. Incredibly entertaining, unquestionably ups the ante from the first but ultimately not quite as good overall. The plot felt a lot more routine this time around - the first was so great partly because it managed to tweak the revenge cliché so effectively. Still, let's be honest, the plot isn't what we're here for.

I will say though that it suffered a touch from the same problem as The Expendables 2 - it opened with what turned out to be the best action sequence in the whole film. There was still some wonderful carnage later on, the hall of mirrors sequence in particular being a visual treat, but nothing ever quite seemed to match Wick trying to recover his car.

A couple I've seen recently:

Highlander III: The Sorcerer

The last of the Highlander live action sequels I'd not seen. Definitely the best of the follow-ups, although I'll freely admit that ain't really saying shit :laugh: It's still not a very good film, and gains most of its strengths and weaknesses from the fact it's basically just a straight (albeit much weaker) remake of the original - right down to copying certain sequences almost verbatim, like the villain kidnapping someone close to MacLeod and taking them on a chaotic joyride. The bad guy was also just a poor imitation of the Kurgan from the first, right down to Mario Van Peebles doing the same husky voice.

It was also full of the kind of nonsensical stupidity the Highlander sequels seem to be plagued by - including villain Kane gaining seemingly near-omnipotent magical powers at the beginning of the film that he then almost completely neglects to employ during his various fights with MacLeod, and a particularly idiotic moment where Kane literally defeats MacLead by shattering his sword and leaving him defenceless on his knees... and then runs away for no reason rather than kill him :laugh: Dafuq, Highlander, dafuq.

Still, credit where credit's due, it did at least attempt to explain how there can still be Immortals running around when the final few supposedly battled to the death in the first film, something none of the other sequels attempt to do. It was a silly explanation that didn't really make any sense, but it was better than nothing, I guess :laugh:

The Long Good Friday.

Fantastic film with a tour de force performance from Bob Hoskins. Brilliant ending too!

Simply put, anyone who hasn't watched this and likes British gangster films (and I don't mean Guy Ritchie gangster-comedies) or just crime films in general should absolutely track it down.

It even had references to the TV series as well. But yeah its the better of the sequels. Although I do have a soft spot for Endgame and The Renegade cut of 2

Damn right its insane. Its not even the story Mulcahy and the Producers wanted to do. Stuff was just thrown in by the insurers to make sure its completed.

Well the alternate cuts are available on Amazon. They would be Region One and you'd have to search for The Renegade Cut for Mulcahy's one. Then the Producers Cut for a really tidied up version of the Renegade. Both have different bonus features.

I think you'd get a kick out of it lol



Daddy's Home
While not as good as I thought it would be. There were some fantastic moments and Wahlberg and Ferrell really work well together. Ill still see the sequel but mainly for Lithgow

Wrath of the Titans
An okay film. Again some great bits, although other bits were hugely wasted. Shame we never got a third one. I still think they should do it and call it Death to the Titans

The Punisher (1989) - Goldblatt Workprint

The prologue in this cut helps the film a fair bit. It is weird hearing temp music from Lethal Weapon, Aliens (or maybe the similar sounding bits from Wrath of Khan), and First Blood in the movie, though. And Franco's death is a lot better in the theatrical cut.

Yeah lol I have the script to prove it. There was more exposition that sort of/not really makes sense of the alien stuff, but Zeist was always part of the movie no matter how hard they to try hide it. The time travel shit just makes it even more nonsensical, imo.

I did really enjoy this, but you could definitely tell where it goes from Snyder to Whedon and back. And omg the CGI removal of Cavill's tache is awful but we have Paramount to blame for that. Cant wait for the DVD/Blu-ray with all the deleted scenes on it. Since the trailer is made up of loads of them and I' like to see the Snyder ending which they did do I think

I watched Avatar the other night for the first time since it's theatrical run. It occurs to me that the only thing I remembered about the movie was Michelle Rodriguez playing Michelle Rodriguez and then crashing her space helicopter. And the only reason I remembered that was because at the time I had an (embarrassing, so, so embarrassing) crush on Michelle Rodriguez.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Vertigo on Nov 30, 2017, 12:49:10 AM
IIRC Michelle Rodriguez had quite a bit of material on the cutting room floor that's viewable on the DVD/BR, which fleshes out her character a bit and gives her more to do. In my opinion, her character seemed underdeveloped in the final film, you could feel that there was something missing.

Then again, it's already a long film.

The first Uwe Boll film ive seen and while its not too bad, it could have been so much better. It hints at people being killed off, but then you never see what happens or get clarification on if they do die. Who thought Tara Reid could play an Archaeologist (probably the same person who though Denise Richards could play a Nuclear Scientist) and its meant to be a sequel to a game, but completely contradicts what happens in said game lol.

So Terminator Genisys was on TV. Maybe I was just in a masochistic mood, but I watched it.

It started out not making sense, and somehow managed to make less and less as it went along. This is what happens when people are so busy riding the dumb "fan service" train (that sadly seems to be all the rage these days) they completely forget to craft a coherent story.

Uwe got the nark with Tara Reid on that one, man. Look, say what you will but at that time, these direct to dvd things had to deliver two things: blood and gratuitous nudity. Reid agreed to everything in the script and then refused to do them when she got on set which drove Boll nuts. He really goes to town about it on the commentary.

I've enjoyed many of his films - the BloodRayne ones are my favorites.

Daddy's Home 2
Really enjoyed this. Mel Gibson pretty much just plays Riggs really. Its great to see John Lithgow on screen again

Battle of the Sexes
A bit slow getting started but once it picked up it was a great story. Everyone comes across as Human, making good and bad decisions. Oscar contender i think

The Dictator
Lol If youre a fan of Sasha Baron Cohen youll love this. Also probably Ben Kingsley's best film in years lol

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Hope some of the characters from this who didnt appear in 5 come back for 6. Again some great sequences. Although it should be time for Cruise to move on now

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

Hmmm, how to talk about this without saying "Chaney is a beast" on loop... :laugh: Well, I watched the 1925 release edit for the first time. I don't think it's discernibly better than the '29 rerelease that's the most commonly found version, even if it does clear up the "Carlotta's mother" oddness. The real difference would have been made if the original ending were present, but that has sadly been lost time.

I will say that this is easily the most faithful adaptation of Leroux's novel that I've seen, even with its changes. That being said, I would love to see someone tackle the crazier stuff from the book, like the different residents of the opera cellars and the Phantom's far out, globe trotting backstory.



Psycho II

I really enjoyed this. It took a smart, psychological approach to the character of Norman Bates, with plenty of twists and turns. And that ending was supremely f**ked up. I mean, damn.

Spiderman Homecoming. Meh, i have extremely low expectation of the mcu movies at this point, but it has some decent moments. It still too much disney and too little Marvel, and not much resemblance to anything Spiderman related, pretty forgettable all around.

I liked it, it mostly worked as both sequel and prequel. Perkins is great as usual, Thomas is good, and Olivia Hussey pretty much walks away with the movie. And the ending is actually a pretty solid grand finale for the series. The directing is a tad amateurish, but it's Mick Garris, so you kind of expect that. And there's more retconning but it's handled better than it was in III.

Just rewatched The Visit.

I enjoyed it as much as the first time. Not a masterpiece but a very effective movie IMO, the old crazy couple cracks me up walking butt naked and shitting in diapers like that hahaha... But they manage to unsettle me too quite a bit honeslty. I like the sound work on this movie particularly, very good.

That was my instant thought after seeing it but the more it settles in my mind, the more I like it; some of it didn't work for me but overall I really liked it and they're are certainly some scenes that will become iconic.

The Good Dinosaur
I think Im all caught up with Pixar movies now. Not counting Planes 1 and 2 and Cars 3 lol

Lost World: Jurassic Park
Hadnt seen this in ages and its a lot better than I remember. Although there were problems near the end, when they changed the ending and also they've never revealed what Killed the crew of the Venture. The ultimate Butterfly Effect movie

Office Christmas Party
Still absolutely brilliant. Best use of a Dio song since Pick of Destiny

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I can see why some people love this film and others hate it. Its so not what your expected, but also perfect for it. There was some things I did hate about the fim. which I wont go into because spoilers this early in its release. But there is more to it that I loved. and I agree some scenes will be iconic in the saga

Thor
Again hadn't seen this in awhile. Its so much fun. Wish Brannagh would come back and and Direct another Marvel film

That remains the only other Jurassic Park movie (after the original) that I like. I never really got all the hate for the ending - sure, the crew being dead is glaringly unexplained, but at the very least they still portray the T-rex as a wild animal in the city, instead of the silly movie monster fights we got in World. And taking the best supporting character from the first film and making him the star was a great move; Goldblum is fantastic once again in the role and I like how his character has so obviously changed following the events of the first movie - something that didn't really happen with Grant in III.

Also Postlethwaite is bloody amazing as the Great White Hunter ;D

I think it's leagues above any of the entries they've made since.

Gravity was on TV last night so I gave it another watch. It loses some of its glorious marvel on a repeat viewing, but it's still an exceptionally solid sci-fi film.

I think its just the lead in from the island to the San Diego stuff. Originally I think they had a Pteradon attacked planned on survivors of the Raptor field attack. The Raptors would go after Malcolm and co as usual while Pteradons appear. Also Hammond I think was meant to have a Heart Attack during the T-Rex attack on the Truck, because he was in constant communication with the Team. The gap in the middle between the island and San Diego would have been his Funeral, which would have eased the time jump and the disappearance of some of the characters.

But I agree Postlethwaite was awesome as Tembo. The most spot on of the other Team. Glad they kept him alive rather than killed him like in the comic adaptation

That's not exactly how it went down. Muldoon didn't have much to do with Wu's death, a raptor jumped on him from the Visitor's Center roof when he popped out to warn Ellie that the distraction wasn't working. Muldoon did end up stuck in a pipe, but if I remember rightly it's after he and Gennaro try to defend Arnold as he heads for the maintenance shed.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Saw it for a second time and everything has settled for me on it. It is a good film and there are still bits i didnt like, like the treatment of some characters and it is bitty. But its not as bad as some can make out. Its just not the EU we knew anymore

Silent Night (2013)
Lol so fun and gory. Gotta love Malcolm McDowell being crotchety. And the Mayor's Daughter was hot lol

Godzilla (1998)
This film has just become switch your brain off entertanment which is stolen by the soundtrack and Jean Reno being awesome as always

Kill Your Friends
Essentially a Britsh "American Pyscho" set in the Music Industry

Jumanji
I'd forgotten how Dark this one was lol. The sequel is an absolute shift in tone. Robin Williams really plays it straight like a less damaged version of his character from The Fisher King

The Crooked House
what an adaptation of a little know Agatha Christie story. What a cast though, Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson, Julian Sands, Terrance Stamp and Christina Hendricks. Its worth watching

Jingle All The Way
Works better in the comedy than the cheesy moments

Arthur Christmas
So much fun for the whole family and great animation

The Dirty Dozen
Was talking with my brother about this and considering how violent the ending 1/3 is. It really jars with the comedy of the training stuff/ Still a classic. Expect a remake at some point lol

Shaun The Sheep: The Movie
For a movie thats only told in noises and no proper dialogue it holds the attention. Gotta love Aardman. They used to be based in a building round the corner from where my Grandmother used to live

Blue Ruin
What a film, you think its gonna one way then BAM. Cant wait to see Green Room now

Permanently wet streets, but bone dry pavements? Check
Big, back-combed hair and shoulder pads on the chicks? Check

Throw-away quips when killing bad guys? Check

A Night At The Roxbury (1997)

Will Ferrell and Chris Katan are complete idiots who have a luxurious life as club hoppers and still live with their wealthy parents. Actually some pretty funny moments, along with one of the most AWESOME soundtracks ever (kinda bias bc I love 90s Eurodance). So...

6.5/10 for the movie
11/10 for the soundtrack

Come on... He's not SO bad. Compared to JCVD, Dudikoff and those guys. But he was always too big to pull off really fast fight scenes - it's got better in recent times due to changes in style / editing but in the good old days, all this stuff was done in camera and to me he always looked kind of lumbering. Then again, he did win a load of full contact medals for Karate (or Kick Boxing, I can't recall) so he was the real deal.

In this movie, one of the stunt-guys missed his mark and a kick from Dolph sparked him out cold. Also, when he hit Stallone the poor guy had to be rushed to hospital as Dolph kind of "moved" his heart.

So if Dolph ever browses these forums, I want him to know that I rate his acting. It's Big Daddy John that doesn't...  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

By far the best Lundgren film I've ever seen is Men of War. It's genuinely a fantastic little action movie. Lundgren displays the kind of charisma that made Arnie so likeable, which makes me wonder why he's so wooden in most of his other movies.

Jurassic World
A great restart to the series. does bring up some interesting questions

Lethal Weapon 3
You can never be too old for this shit :)

Black Christmas (2006)
A great horror remake, its a shame that the studios forced all the gore in

The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box
What a cast this has. Michael Sheen, Sam Neill, Lena Headley and Ioan Gruffold. Shame we didn't get a sequel

Horns
A great adapt of Joe Hills Book. Daniel Radcliffe really moves away from Harry Potter here

Needful Things
another great adapt of Stephen King's book. Max Von Sydow was born for the role

It's also my favourite Stand Alone Dolph movie. Catherine Bell was awesome as "token tough chick" --- before it was really a trope (I mean, OK, she was sporting a Vasquez headband) but she was really good as well. In fact the whole idea was great with the jade and all that, and Dolph actually had an arc (as indeed did most of the team).

Man what a film. Rosamund Pike is spot on and what a tale to weave

Cooties
An okay Horror Comedy, although the comedy was more miss than hit. Oh Elijah Wood. What happened to you ;p;

Avengers: Age of Ultron
A great Marvel film as always. but you can see where some of the studio interference came in which cause Whedon to stop doing Marvel films (for the time being)

The Rock
Always an enjoyable film to watch and you forget how well the pairing of Cage and Connery works

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2
A great end to the main Potter franchise here, but the screen version does prove how many of the deaths were just for shock value

I'd been looking for this film for ages and it was finally on Spike last night. A great showing from Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace. I wondered why WWE Studios were involved in this, till I saw a couple of Blink and you miss him appearances from Wade Barrett

The Snowman - my wife is a big Jo Nesbo fan but ultimately this film whilst entertaining at times was so choppy and poorly edited. Given Director's Alfredson's candid admission on problems with insufficient prep time and even a complete script, it explains why this film was a missed opportunity.

The first two thirds of that film are absolutely stellar, possibly some of Shane Black's best writing,, but I've always thought it loses something in the final act. Ironically, Black said the same thing at a Q&A I attended.

No Escape

Been working by way through my new RoboCop trilogy Blu-ray set this week.

RoboCop

One of the reasons why I think the year of my birth might be a contender for the best year ever for movies. Not much that needs to be said. Iconic. This is Verheoven firing on all cylinders.

RoboCop 2

Kinda reminds me of Predator 2 this, in that it's a sequel that always seems to get bashed simply because it doesn't live up to the first, but taken by itself it's a seriously entertaining action movie. There are faults - it feels overly mean-spirited at times, and the way it reverts RoboCop to a monotonous law machine when he'd largely regained his humanity by the conclusion of the first film really grates - but there's also a hell of a lot to recommend it. It does a good job of maintaining the satirical tone of the original, the action sequences are good, there's some genuinely hilarious comic touches, and the final battle with the titular RoboCop 2 is spectacular (also one of the last times a Hollywood blockbuster would utilise stop-motion effects). Great stuff.

RoboCop 3

And then there's this... I almost didn't bother watching this, but as I hadn't seen it since I was a kid I decided to put it on. F*cking terrible. It's like they actively tried to make the worst decisions possible with every aspect of it. About the only positive thing I can say is they got Poledouris back - it's great to hear his pounding soundtrack after its absence in the second movie. But it can't save what is otherwise a shit sandwich.

This (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/2016/05/31/who-killed-the-last-boy-scout-bruce-willis-shane-black-and-the-m/) describes it briefly, apparently the original ending was set on boats in the fog off the coast. That and apparently there was subplot about Milo running a snuff film operation, and Hallenback's wife would get roped into it. I could probably acquire the draft if I dug deeply enough, but one of my main script sources just moved a bunch of files to a google drive to save bandwidth, and those things are f**king pains to search.



The Hitman's Bodyguard

I had a lot of fun with this. It has weird tonal shifts, Gary Oldman feels like he's from a different movie, and I'm pretty sure the World Court doesn't work like that at all, but there's plenty of action, good comedy, and Sam Jackson saying motherf**ker, so I can give it a pass.

Written by Tarantino (not directed).
Worth watching just for the cast: Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini,...
Christian Slater perhaps in his best role, Patricia Arquette is an absolute doll and Christopher Walken's performance is off the charts.

That movie's so feckin' good. Just perfect.
It's also one of those movies that has the exact right amount of blood/gore. Something I consider an art.
After my most recent viewing I noticed a David Lee Roth poster or album in the music store (when the bad guys get their new guns). Little fun when you're a bit of a fan like me  ;D

That's one of my favourite films of all time. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. By far my favourite Tarantino work, even if, as you say, he wasn't in the director's chair. The cast list is like a who's-who of all my favourite actors. The scene between Hopper and Walken is one for the ages.

The only thing that could've improved it for me would've been one final cameo from Bill Shatner as T.J. Hooker right at the end, when Slater's buddy finally gets his big acting role :)

Quote from: Scorpio on Jan 20, 2018, 09:08:52 AMMore hating on Robocop 3, I don't get it.  What is so bad about it?

The script is crap, the acting is terrible, none of the "comedy" is remotely funny, the action sequences are dull, it looks cheap, the direction is generic... It often feels like a kids' movie, which is so massively out of whack with the first two. It's not just about the violence, the entire tone is childish in comparison. But worst of all, the third one simply feels like a generic, forgettable DTV film instead of a big-budget blockbuster like the previous two films.

Cheap Monster Horror that crosses Greek Myth (Its meant to be set on a greek island but is clearly the woods around California) and People pay millions to hunt people. Its okay but lol so stupid

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge
Still better than On Stranger Tides and many sequences do bring back the thrill of the first film. Also Kaya Scolderio Is the best member of the new cast. The whole point of Will's son trying to break the curse of the Flying Dutchman doesn't make sense due to the ending of At World's End

I get that he's doing other stuff, probably more money in that. But I'd love to see him return to his roots one day.

Atomic Blonde. I really wanted it to be as awesome as it wanted itself to be. As it was, I enjoyed it, I'll watch the commentary when I find some time, but I thought the big twist ending was really unnecessary.

Spoiler
There's pandering to US audiences... and there's pandering. I don't know if she's really CIA-duping-Mi5-duping-KGB in the source, but yeah... I just wanted to throw my glass at the screen at that point. It just seemed entirely unnecessary as I say. Dare I say mean-spirited. It's like "you have James Bond, you can't have two really cool super-spies!"
[close]

The fighting and all that was brilliant, though. I was surprised that I didn't find Charlize Theron very sexy in the role (which they're clearly going for). Don't get me wrong, she's so beautiful it makes your eyes hurt, but I don't know if "sexy-cool" worked. I guess I'll lay that one at the door of the director.

In the end, there was a little too much going on - the film seemed to fall between two stools. Like Tinker, Tailor, John Wick, Bourne-guy, Spy.

You ever seen a film called Sexy Beast? It's basically exactly that. It's very much in the Guy Ritchie vein. I highly recommend it if you've never watched it, it's a great film. Ben Kingsley is absolutely stellar in it.

The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.

First time I've had a chance to sit and watch the whole thing, and despite managing to craft a pretty good flick despite Heath Ledger's death half way through, it doesn't quite come off.  The changes to Depp, Law and Farrell work really well, but the Tony character is really not a protagonist you can root for.  Great performances all round though, and Gilliam's imagination is typically fantastic.

Another classic. Can't believe it's almost twenty years old.
Wish Guy Ritchie would still make movies like this. Last one's Rocknrolla from 2008.

I have a copy of Rocknrolla somewhere that I still haven't watched.  Snatch is one of the greatest flicks ever period.

It doesn't live up to Lock, Stock... or Snatch, but it's still well worth a watch. Mark Strong is excellent in it as always.

Saw Darkest Hour last night. It's one of those films that's elevated no end by the central performance, but when the performance is as good as Oldman's in this - possibly the best of his career - it really doesn't matter. Definitely recommend.

Started off slow and I thought this was going to be a safe Spielberg film, but then about 50 minutes in you realise how subtle the performances have been and the light switch just goes on. An amazing and timely film and Meryl Streep deserves her Oscar Nom (Although I am pissed that Jessica Chastain Wasn't nominated for Molly's Game)

The Greatest Showman
You could only do this film as a musical. Some fantastic original songs that Hugh Jackman and cast really sink their teeth into. Visually stunning, although yes it is the popcorn telling of the story

This.

Saw it again two days ago. I think it's a little more serious and less nutty than the other two, making most of the dialogue more normal and less memorable. And those dialogues are an inmortant element imo.

It's really well written, and the dialogue is a highlight of the movie. The doctor is amazing but you still question her loyalties right up to the end, it's a really claustrophobic movie that really piles on the paranoia. I love it, most likely because of the Alien-like visuals and cinematography.

There are three movies that make a series of films that I'd link together with ease - Blade Runner, Outland and Alien.

This feels like Wes Craven got bored and decided to mash Scream together with Shocker. It has some interesting moments but overall, left me disappointed

So not the film I was expecting. While I enjoyed it, thinking back on it, it didn't settle on what it wanted to be

Deep Rising
Now this, this is just great. An Underrated Stephen Sommers film with great performances by everyone in the cast. Treat Williams and Kevin J O'Connor are great together

They're both quite wry in places, the second one definitely lighter in tone than the first. They're at the lower end of the budget spectrum, but you can't have Ogilvy, Ellison, Lyssette Anthony, Stephen Berkoff et al in a film and it be bad. The antagonist in the first one is played by a kid called Danny Boy Hatchard and he was great. Billy Murray is on bad guy duties for the second one and he makes an utterly vile presence in every scene he's in (no mean feat!).

Try to check 'em out if you can.

I LOVED the first Rise of the Footsoldier "It's MILLWALL!" Brilliant. I've not seen the second or third one though - interested to hear your thoughts if you have.

Part of me would really like to see what it would've been with Ford in it, but I love what we got so much I'm kinda glad he dropped out.

On the subject of Ford - I gave my new Blade Runner Blu-ray a watch last night. Looks stellar in hi-def. Not much to say about the film that hasn't been said before, except I really like the tweaks they made for the Final Cut.

Also gave the Dangerous Days documentary on disc 2 a re-watch. It's very informative, but I don't think it's as good as Lauzirika's Alien pieces. It feels a bit too long (three and a half hours!) and despite its length it completely neglects some areas I'd really like to see discussed (such as the design and construction of Deckard's now iconic sidearm) in favour of spending large amounts of time on other aspects that feel needlessly dragged out as a result. Still, those personal flaws aside, it's a typically well-made documentary from Mr. Lauzirikia. It's a real shame he got the boot from Covenant.

Oh Brother and Ladykillers have their moments but overal I don't find them that memorable.

Fargo series season 1 and 2 are pretty good. 3 is ok but the ending ruins a lot if not everything.

Dracula (1931) - Spanish Version

Good, but way overhyped. Nic Cage was a more convincing vampire than this guy. :laugh:

Ninja 2: Shadow of a Tear

So basically Scott Adkins slaughters the bits of Burma that Sly left standing after Rambo 4, and it is glorious to behold.

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight
I hadn't seen this in years and finally Horror showed it. It still holds up after all these years and is a lot of fun. Billy Zane is perfect. I'd forgotten that Thomas Haden Church was in this. And William Sadler is always great to watch. The soundtrack is brilliant. Who doesn't love a bit of Megadeth.
One thing I didn't remember was the mini tag at the end advertising the originally planned sequel "Dead Easy", which they replaced with Bordello of Blood. Would love for them to do Dead Easy now as I heard they were remaking the Tales from the Crypt series. They could mix it with series and films and not have to worry

I love found footage horror movies, when done right it gives and unique experience and atmosphere, a very visceral reaction.

Despite being more humorous, i think is just as good as the first one, is different, but still good, cannot wait for the third one.

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders

This was a lot of fun, and it was hilarious hearing Adam West do lines from 89 and Dark Knight Returns. I could have done without the pointless jab at Rises, though. I really don't need to hear the writers soap box for no reason.



Frankenstein (2015)

Candyman director Bernard Rose does an interesting, modernized take on the story. It's told entirely from the Monster's point of view, giving it an oddly fractured quality. Also, Tony Todd plays the blind man. 8)

I have mixed feelings about this one.
It certainly has its moments of greatness. But in some way I think it would be better suited as part 1, if you remove the opening scene.
Did thought it was more entertaining than the first. That one dragged on a little too long for my taste.

Btw, I like (love) found footage too. Favorites are The Tunnel, Trollhunter, Chronicle, Frankenstein's Army, Man Bites Dog, Hardcore Henry and more I can't remember.

The first one did drag a little around the middle, for the sequel i would have liekd a little more horror but is an okay movie and is a worthy sequel.

From those that you mention i have only seen Frankenstein Army and Hardcore Henry, both are lots of fun, i believe that a Doom movie should be in first person like they did with HH, i woudl recommend to you: Noroi: The Curse, Home Movie, The Last Prayer, Exhibit A, Grave Encounters, and Megan Is Missing off the top of my head

Last movie i watched: Under The Skin, very well shot, experimental, a little horror, indie movie, is pretty strange but i liked it, it was worth the time watchign it.

Bone Tomahawk

I knew all about the horrific slaughter scene in this film from the buzz back when it came out. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of telling my mate (who, excuse my Australian, is a c*nt) how repulsive I thought it sounded, and so he bought me the DVD for Christmas, knowing full well that - as a present - I'd have to watch it :laugh:

It's actually a very, very good film. Kurt Russell, Matthew Fox and Richard Jenkins in particular are excellent in it. There's no denying it contains some truly upsetting violence - in particular the aforementioned butchering scene - but in the context of the film it doesn't necessarily feel gratuitous, as the reaction it incites is exactly what the film intends.

Worth a look if you can stomach the gore.

Oh I loved Bordello of Blood. I mean I'd forgotten about the tag for a film they decided no to make after they released Demon Knight



Coco
Pixar do it again. such a brilliant and beautiful film. Its always great when they jump into a completely original world. Im not crying, you're crying

Halloween II (1981)
I forgot how bloody this sequel is compared to the first one. Shame that this wasn't the end of Myers story like it was obviously planned. But Its a great film.

Dreamcatcher
The book is definitely better. Although the cast is spot on. With various bits cut, it does feel like 2 or 3 films mashed together

Robocop (Original)
Still a fantastic film. Its timeless and Peter Weller is just perfect

Total Recall (Original)
Perfect Arnie Fodder. Im actually a fan of the downbeat ending theory. What about you guys?

My biggest problem with the remake was how it almost entirely jettisoned the is it/isn't it real thing the original had going on throughout. It added so much to the film.

As for thoughts on the ending, unusually I have no opinion on whether it really happened or not, but I really enjoy the ambiguity all the same.

More than anything, I hated how the remake recycled some of the scenes from the first that muddied the waters as to whether this was real or an illusion... but altered them to make it abundantly clear it was never an illusion.

Take the scene where the guy from the Recall ad visits Quaid on Mars to try and talk him down. In the original, that's an amazingly layered scene. In the remake they cut the guy from the ad and replaced him with Quaid's mate, thereby removing all the subtle mind-f*ckery the original entailed, while also making it totally obvious that his buddy was playing him, gutting all the mystery and tension.

It made you feel the people involved were being wilfully ignorant.

Mad 80s action flick about the LAPD being chosen to test a heavily-armed helicopter gunship (Why? Who cares) and a government conspiracy revolving around the craft.

Can we count the number of 80s action movie clichés this film checks?
For added what-the-f*ckness, it was written by Dan O'Bannon of Alien fame; the two films couldn't be further apart tonally.

Also the hero is a cop called Murphy and the male newsreader from RoboCop is in it, again playing an anchor, so this is officially a prequel about Alex Murphy's estranged brother :P

I agree. The film was visually stunning, the action was neat and Cate Blanchett was perfect as Hela, but the humor and the tone of the movie felt way off from what I think is right for a Thor film. Even if it was pretty funny, it was so on the expense of the characters dignity.

"Stonehurst Asylum" with Kate Beckinsale, Ben Kingsley, Michael Caine and David Thewlis.

It's a take on a Poe story and it's really great - totally OTTs itself on the gothic, loads of walking around dark corridors with oil lamps and stuff like that.

But, like every other director that works with Beckinsale, the chap in charge fallen entirely in love with her. Check it out next time you watch a Beckinsale movie from the last ten years or so.

"Close up on Kate..."
"Close up on Kate..."
"Close up on Kate..."
"I think we need more close ups on Kate."
"You know what would make this scene really zing? A close up on Kate."

Not that this is a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination - she's eminently watchable!

I dunno what it is with 80s and 90s Stallone films, but they almost all got cut to shit by the MPAA, Cobra included. Would love to see a restored longer cut one day, even if I know the chances of that happening are practically zilch.

Just mentioned it in the listening thread, but I absolutely love that movie. I especially like how it starts out as a pretty run-of-the-mill cops n' robbers film, but then by about the halfway point it starts spiralling into ever-increasing madness.

The bit where Petersen takes 12-gauge buckshot to the face near the end is one of the most shocking twists I can remember seeing in a movie.

Highlander II - The Producers Cut
So much better than the theatrical (which isn't hard) just flows better.

Transformers The Movie (1985)
This movie is my childhood. I can quote the film like no ones business

The Legend of Zorro
While a good sequel, it isn't as much fun as the first one, which would explain why we never got another one. Which is again a shame

Spy
Loved it. McCarthy finally gets a leading role that suits her so well. Just brilliant and Statham hams it up perfectly

I love The Mask of Zorro, but I could never get into the sequel. I'd like to see a new movie some day. A few years ago, they had two films in the works. One origin story based on Isabel Allende's book, as well as a sci-fi Zorro set in the post-apocalyptic future. Nothing ever came of it though, which is a shame, as I really enjoyed Allende's book.

Star Trek: First Contact

I'm really not a Star Trek guy, but I do really enjoy a few of the movies, this being one of them. The effects are really good - the Borg look far, far better than they ever did in the TV series - there's some nice action and even horror elements, and the cast all vibe well together. If I criticised anything, it's that it feels like it could do with some additional build-up before the battle at the start, to generate some more suspense. As it is it kinda feels like the Borg just suddenly arrive at Earth without any resistance.

Their are some Lovecraftian elements but I wouldn't call it a Lovecraftian movie
Too bad. But it's my own fault for getting my hopes up.

Coco (2017)
I watch Pixar cartoon stuff for the fun, bright colours and the humour.
This wasn't dark but not colourful either. Story was boring and predictabe, at least I presume because I quit watching halfway through.

They did have a lot of Budget issues in Season two of TNG, some episodes went over budget, so they had to cut back on others later in the season. Which lead to the final episode of Season Two. The worst Star Trek episode ever lol

Best of Both Worlds two parter is one of the best Star Trek episodes out there.

To be honest, I get the hate. I mostly like it because I'm such a big fan of John Woo. It's really watered-down, cut-to-pieces John Woo, but it has enough of his signature style that I still love it. I do wish we could see some kind of director's cut one day though; supposedly it was butchered by the studio, which is why so much of it makes so little sense.

To be honest, the only reason why I'm not huge on the ones since is it just feels like they all keep recycling the same scenes and plot points over and over.

I liked MI3, even though it was directed by abrams, it was engaging and seemed the closest to the show, i have watched bits of 4 but it was so over the top ridiculous sci fi that seemed out of place, nevercared about the series anyway, the first two are ok for what i remember.

Fantastic Beasts and where to find them (2016): Ok, it does not have the hook that the HP saga did, it felt longer than what it really was, and when it ended i was just the same as when it started, it left me cold and seems souless, like WB made it out of the HP fanbase nostalgia or somethign like that. It also felt like it went nowhere in any way, i was a little dissapointed but i was not expecting much. The best thing by far, was Katherine Waterstone, she looked adorable, sweet, beatiful, and lovely the whole way through.

All Hallows Eve 2: Pretty awful, is practically a waste of time, the first one, while being almost Z class horror, was at least fun and entertainning, this one is boring and predictable. I liked the latest short, Alexia, it was okay, but otherwise, i would not recommend it to anyone, there are countless better options instead of watching this one, i think is even worse than XX.

A really great UK Werewolf movie. Some great scenes. but does feature a couple of clichés that really annoy me.

Really enjoyed this one. Watched it last year but it has stuck with me for a while.

My first response while wathing it before it really kicked in "Hi Sean Pertwee.......Bye Sean Pertwee" lol

Have you seen Wer? Thought that was one of the better more recent werewolf movies.
Late Phases is also pretty good but more of a slow burn.
And Wolfcop is great if you don't mind horror-comedy.

Ive seen Wolfcop. Really random but fun.

The other two I haven't seen but been wanting to for awhile

The Shape Of Water
Absolutely beautiful. Just flows. the cast is perfect. Damn this film deserves Oscars

Black Panther

Very good. Finally a Marvel film (for me) that lived up to recent hype. I was really let down with Civil War (a film that went absolutely nowhere and once I knew all the mainstays were safe it lost any tension for me) and Thor 3 (which I mentioned elsewhere - good fun film but that humour was so misplaced and totally killed any vested interest for me).

What I liked the most about Black Panther was the focus on characters - I was vested in all of them and to be honest I'm very naive of the whole Wakanda universe. I also liked how the film focused on it's own world rather than building up the Marvel universe or next film in the series.

Pretty good, but you can tell they rushed things somewhat to get it clocked in at 75 minutes. They also could have been a bit more picky in what they adapted or cut, but at least some of the more random or annoying bits from the comic were left out.

Pretty good movie, I'll admit I don't get hype for movies anymore - and I tend to not be super into marvel/DC/super hero movies but I quite enjoyed it! Certainly a soothing balm over the pit TLJ kinda left me in :c

This is just... bleh. I'm a big fan of the comic, but they could have done more with the material than just recreating the panels and calling it a day. Also, Ben McKenzie using his best big boy voice as Batman just doesn't work.

Blade Runner 2049

Finally got to watch this again after being blown away by it in the cinemas. Just as brilliant as I remember it. My wife who isn't a geek like me really enjoyed it - wasn't phased at all by it's 3 hour runtime or slow pace (I think Ryan Gosling's good looks helped).

I'll stick by my original assessment of the film when I saw it by saying it is indeed the best film I've seen since The Dark Knight. BTW a quick note to say if you don't agree with me that's cool, it's called an opinion.

Superman vs The Elite

I loved this. If you cut the one false note where the Elite randomly kill a dog for no reason in their first scene, it would be close to flawless. And not because I'm one of those whiners who can't handle fake dog death, but because it was cheap shorthand to make them look bad right off the bat.

Porky's (1981)
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Probably the best sex comedy made. All unknown actors to me but they all do an excellent job.

Private Resort (1985)
Underrated eighties comedy starring a young Johnny Depp, Hector Elizondo, Andrew Dice Clay and the big boobed blonde woman from the Police Academy movies.

Dirty Grandpa (2016)
Not great but still better than average comedy.
DeNiro owns his role, Aubrey Plaza is kinda hot and Rafi from The League is his usual self. I love seeing him in roles like this.

Man of Tai Chi - strange Chinese movie featuring (and directed by) Keanu Reeves. I enjoyed it, but I'm not really a fan of wire-fu (though it was fairly subdued in this film).

Warrior. Tom Hardy MMA movie. It was strange to see a martial arts film with top actors in it. I really enjoyed it, even if it was a pastiche of every Rocky movie. The fighting was really good to be honest, and the plot made sense given MMA was bit more niche when "Warrior" was released.

Boyka: Undisputed. WHY OH WHY is Scott Adkins not the biggest action star on the planet? This was a by the numbers film, make no mistake, but Adkins is just so good in everything he does. I really rate him not only on his superlative ass-kickery, but this guy can really act.

I've only seen the Snipes "Undisputed", but I sense a Boyka marathon in the near future.

2001: A Space Odyssey  on Blu-ray

I've been watching the various ALIEN features from the ALIEN Anthology,ALIEN Saga..etc. 2001 is mentioned by Ridley,Ivor Powell,Sigourney..etc.     

So I've decided to watch the contemporary films from that period that may or did influence ALIEN.

I haven't seen 2001 since I saw it in the theater. (Yea I'm old :D)  I can remember having someone explain it to me back then :D

I enjoyed it so much more this time. The physical effects so impressive. Amazing Model's. I especially enjoyed the commentary by Keir Dullea & Gary Lockwood. Also in the special features are interviews with Dan O'Bannon,George Lucas,Spielberg,Brian Johnson,Doug Trumball it goes on.. I have not finished all the extra's yet.

I got this from the library but I may just add this to my collection ;D

Next on my viewing list is "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"  Ridley was really impressed with it. This I've NEVER seen. :o

YESSS!.... I thought there were some similarities.  There are some cues that they sound very close in there that are in ALIEN . I ordered the soundtrack from the library too. I'm also interested in the original score that Kubrick didn't use.(Its a coincidence  ;) him not using it...but it reminded me of ALIEN's Jerry Goldsmith score that wasn't used.)

Ditto on the appreciation part here too. ;D

I'm super excited to see Creed 2 because it has Drago in it. Bearing in mind, its not the 80s anymore - "Rocky Balboa" and subsequently "Creed" were much less "hyper-real" than Rocky IV (and III to be fair, though it WAS the 80s and no one thought it was hyper-real back then).

I am wondering how they're going to treat the Drago character in a realistic way. Will he try to make amends... that kind of thing. Balboa and Creed movies do acknowledge the others have taken place, so I'm really keen to see how they put a realistic bent on that character and situation.

And I just realized that Jacob Tremblay plays the main boy in Wonder so I'm even more curious to see how they use him for a Predator movie because he's not a bad little actor.  :)

Black Panther:

This movie automatically gets more points for not being a brainless, senseless comedy, and after not one, not two, but THREE shitty mcu movies 2017 (and the mcu quality bar is not even high) this feels like a breath of fresh air. It is mature and serious like the mcu when it started.

The artistic design is great, the casting is great, and is a decent movie all around.

There still lots of forced jokes, but in this movie is at a minimum, it also has bland action scenes with unfinished CGI, and not enough Andy Serkis, and no rhtythm, but that is it. Lot of hyperbolic bullshit reviews though, the villain is generic, and so is the music, unlike what i heard.

Either way, is a good movie that left me satisfied which has not happened to me with a mcu movie in a long time, they can still correct course and give us good Marvel movies, and this is a great step in that direction.

Never even heard of this. I'll have to check it out. At first I thought (me being me) it was a documentary about Morgan stubbing his toe or something. But how would that play out over a full length feature film? Morgan Freeman travels the world in search of sorrow. "Experience the raw emotion as one of the finest actors in the history of cinema drops his sandwich, leaves the water running, sees his favorite light bulb go out, and the Nasdaq takes a dive."

Creep (2014) - Bit of a crazy film this.

QuoteWhen a videographer answers an advert of the website Craigslist for a one-day job in a remote mountain town to video the last messages of a dying man. The job takes a strange turn when the last messages get darker and darker. The videographer continues to see the job through, but when it is time to leave he is unable to find his keys, and when he receives a strange phone call he finds his client is not at all what he initially seemed to be.

Part 2 is better. And weirder. Except they show early on who he actually is. It sorta ruins the ambiguity if you haven't seen the first.

Black Panther:

This movie automatically gets more points for not being a brainless, senseless comedy, and after not one, not two, but THREE shitty mcu movies 2017 (and the mcu quality bar is not even high) this feels like a breath of fresh air. It is mature and serious like the mcu when it started.

The artistic design is great, the casting is great, and is a decent movie all around.

There still lots of forced jokes, but in this movie is at a minimum, it also has bland action scenes with unfinished CGI, and not enough Andy Serkis, and no rhtythm, but that is it. Lot of hyperbolic bullshit reviews though, the villain is generic, and so is the music, unlike what i heard.

Either way, is a good movie that left me satisfied which has not happened to me with a mcu movie in a long time, they can still correct course and give us good Marvel movies, and this is a great step in that direction.

^ I concur ... especially the bit about the MCU of 2017 being not that great. Black Panther was a breath of fresh air indeed.

Annihilation

What a trip. Garland is becoming quite good (understatement) at the slow burn tension cerebral sci-fi genre.

Spoiler
dumping the supernatural aspects of Himiko in favor of stealing the plot twist from the first Uncharted game.

Kickboxer: Retaliation.

Well that was f**king awesome. The final fight against Hapthor Bjornson was one of the best I've seen - it was hard core, original, bone crunching stuff.

Though to be fair, a movie featuring Jean Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert, Mike Tyson AND Rhonaldinio (I shit you not) would have to try really hard to fail.

The first movie was really good too... sneer if you like, but "Kickboxer" is really good example of how to reboot a franchise - paying dues to the much-loved classic but doing its own thing too.

Fantastic Four - The Recent One
Now I really enjoyed this....to begin with. When it was what Josh Trank intended it had its tone just right and it flowed. Then we get to the One Year Later jump, which is pretty much where the studio stepped in and ballsed it all up. Its all reshoots bar one small scene from this point on and the tone just changes. And you can tell where the reshoots are by Kate Mara's Bright Blonde wig. This actually had a chance of being great, but the studios couldn't help themselves. I really want to see the second half of Trank's original version now

I concur. Brilliant film ... had a very different tone to the other sequels which pushed the boundaries of realism in my opinion (still loved them). The first one reminded me of the bikie movies of the late 70s that seemed to be super popular here in Australia.

So many great quotable lines in that film. My elder brother had the same Ford Falcon model that Max's V8 Interceptor was too.

I loved this. Michael Shannon is a beast as usual, and the love story was genuinely sweet and touching. And now I'll spend most of King of the Monsters wondering if Sally Hawkins will f**k Godzilla. :laugh:



Son of Batman

This was pretty forgettable and middle of the road. Shame, since that initial Batman and Son arc wasn't perfect and could have done with some expanding and fleshing out. But no, we get a weak sauce Talia, a neutered Damian, and Deathstroke is the bad guy because... because Arrow was popular right then? Meh.

Really?  I found it extremely dull.  Half hour of exposition and pointless character development, script is generic and full of cliches, action is all green screen, all the moments from the game were toned down for PG-13, not sure what movie you were watching, but each to their own.

My only beef with WW was the third act or rather the main villain. I found him a little undercooked to be honest. David Thewlis is a wonderful actor (he was utterly brilliant in season 3 of Fargo) but I found him to be nothing like how I imagined Ares. Just seemed odd.

That said it's a common problem with most modern superhero films - the third acts rarely live up to the previous 2 acts of the film (Marvel films in particular have all been guilty of this in my book). Hell even my all time favourite Superhero movie, The Dark Knight had similar problems (though it was almost a 4th act in that film).

BUT I must stress that I found WW wonderful (pun intended) for the most part. The trench scene was rather powerful and emotional to watch. Gal Gadot is pretty easy on the eye too :-p

I'm down with this too. Whilst Garland's Dredd is the superior and more true to the source movie, I think Stallone's was silly fun - the set design and realisation of Mega City One was perfect.

I always enjoy the dialogue in his movies (as well as Coen brothers' movies). I also got a kick out of Michael Madsen in this movie- just something about his look and when he gets his gun taken away.

Also watched Wind River and it was a decent movie. I really like Jon Bernthal after watching this and Elizabeth Olsen is good as always. She's  one of my favorite actresses.

Mirrors 2 - 2/5

Somehow managed to be worse than the first one, I've seen worse movies but I've also seen alot better.
Definitely will never watch this again.

Curse of the Mayans - 3/5

At first I enjoyed the movie, the characters were decent and the build up was good..but where this movie let me down was the third act.
Not enough on screen kills and although the creature effects weren't terrible they were underutilized imo.

The first time I saw Eight, I was alittle let down. Of course, I was coming off Django, which was beyond excellent. But it's hard not to love Samuel doin' his thing. Especially when he's laying down the law to a "bushwackin' sac shootah".  ;)

I'll accept it's not a very good adaptation of the source material, but as someone who isn't really into comics, that doesn't bother me at all. I find it massively entertaining, and I especially love how utterly over the top every aspect of it is. The sets, the costumes, even the guns - everything is ridiculously enormous, which makes it feel more like a literal comic book than many other comic book adaptations.

And yeah, Assante makes for one of my all-time favourite movie villains. He doesn't so much chew the scenery as put it in a blender and drink it down.

(Going back to Wonder Woman)

I thought it was a good movie. My main problem was Chris Pine's character continually rolling his eyes and mansplaining, not really ever having that subverted, never having Diana call him out on it, and expecting us to feel something during his actions near the end. I get that it's because she's a fish-out-of-water in that culture, but it all felt very odd for the cultural moment surrounding this film. And even with the politics aside, it's a tiresome trope and I've seen it innumerable times before. Take him out though and it's a lot of fun.

Pacific Rim: Uprising
An okay and enjoyable film. Doesn't feel like a sequel to Pacific Rim, but more a Transformers spin off. Which isn't surprising considering that the Director is part of the Transformers writing room. He really needs to direct a Transformers movie as his feel for the fights here would work with that

Bad, even worse than the 2014 Godzilla but just as that movie, it is very nicely shot, loved the color palette but that is it, not much else to say, story, characters, dialogue and editing were bad. Forced humor. Effects were ok, i wish i would have seen it on theaters. Music was ok. Little nods to the 1933 movie which was nice. Overall is a totally brianless and uneven movie, but for a moment of entertainment is okay.

I think by far my favourite thing about the original - and one of the things they predictably changed for the remake - is that fact that Wilson goes back to f*cking prison at the end of it.

Is as good as the first one, has some little flaws, but they are very little and specific, is a near perfect movie and one of the best of 2017 and and one of the best movies from hollywood in a long time, a work of art.

Fight Club is a bit of a mixed bag for me. 

I get it, it's about a man who exists in a feminised culture, trying to rediscover his manhood, but going to self-help support groups?  That seemed a little over the top.

Taxi Driver or Bad Boy Bubby did it better.  It's a coming of age story, but much later in life.

Really enjoyed this and I did geek out at a lot of the Easter Eggs

Cliffhanger
Really want to see the more violent workprint of this

Tremors 2: Aftershock
A fantastic sequel

Universal Soldier
This film is always fun to watch, really balances the comedy moments with the main action and Drama

Balls of Fury
That use of Def Leppard

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection
Essentially a TV Movie/pilot. Still need to watch the series they made after

Tropic Thunder
A brilliant piss take. RDJ needs to do more films like this

Piranha 3D
Great film, shame the sequel was crap

Free Fire
Had been wanting to see this for ages and it was well worth the wait. Kicks ass and I couldn't stop laughing

Isle of Dogs
Beautifully animated. Wes Anderson is great at these family friendly films. He should do more

FC is about consumerism and how it dominates everyday life, I didn't pick up a feminised quality to the culture, it was all just shallow and all consuming, plus vanity.
FC then evolves into anarchy and nihilism, and the dangers into going too far that way. plus there is irony too, as the attack on consumerism is also an attack on the conformity and sheep behavior it causes but the cult itself becomes all about conformity and loss of individualism themselves.

I'm aware of what is said in the film but I still don't really see it because its not the main theme. Not to mention that women have always raised men, just a matter how much and if the parent duties is equally shared or not, so his comment never made sense to me.

Post by: HuDaFuK on Apr 04, 2018, 11:18:20 AM
That was a little different. That was always meant to be PG-13, it wasn't cut to the rating after the fact. In fact I think the first two of those were actually the opposite situation - they were planned to be PG-13 films, but they R'ed them up in post with all the blood and dismemberment, which is why all of that stuff is conspicuously CGI. I definitely remember hearing that about the first, not so sure about the second.

But a ton of Stallone's 80s and 90s film were hacked to bits after filming to lower the rating. It often wasn't even subtly done - for instance, there's that really odd bit in Judge Dredd where the unfinished clones start waking up, one of them glares threateningly at Dredd and he racks his pump gun... and then it suddenly cuts to the place starting to explode, Dredd's chasing Rico around upstairs and the clones are never mentioned again. It was obvious set-up for a confrontation that then got excised lol. Demolition Man's terrible too - the old black cop simply disappears from the film because a scene where he was killed by Snipes at the end of the second act got taken out. Several of Snipes' henchmen also vanish, most obviously Predator's Jesse Ventura.

I think it was a combination of the two. I've read that one of the producers wanted the violence cut down as well. Ironically, he was the same guy who had Wes Craven dd gore scenes into Deadly Friend, which was conceived as a PG movie initially.

Yes The Return is meant to be seen as the second film, but wasn't the first attempt at a sequel. There were two or TV movies that followed on from the first film in 98. They were meant to be back door pilots.

Not if they were all cryosleep dreams when the Uni-Sols are regenerating.  :D :D :D

I watched Lady Bloodfight with Amy Johnstone - it's by the numbers stuff, but she's really good. It reminded me of "Raze", a film I saw ages ago Zoe Bell in it. That was a f**king brutal movie. Like, with most of these female combat movies, the blood comes in the form of minor bruising or a heroic cut on the temple.

Not so with Raze - it was uncomfortable viewing. The choreography was superb of course, but watch it at your peril.

Last night I saw Jawbone - it's a dirty Film-4-esque thing about an alcoholic former ABA boxing champion. It kind of defies expectations


Spoiler
in that there's no real antagonist apart from the booze. It sets up Ian McShane as the shady but seemingly nice illegal fight promoter who you think will double cross protagonist Jimmy. But he doesn't - he just tells him that its a dangerous fight and he could get hurt, loans him some money and that's that. I kind of liked that as I kept waiting for something bad to happen, but it didn't.

So the film stayed on point in the regard that it was about a battle with booze. The boxing match might have been a physical representation of that (he gets knocked down, but he gets up again... as in the alcoholic keeps returning to the bottle), but anyway, it was a really good watch.

So imagine season two of The Wire, only set in France and Statham kills everyone by the end. :laugh: This was fun, but damn that score/soundtrack does *not* hold up.

Love that film. Second one's even better (read: more insane). Sadly the third one was kinda crap.

Still gutted that, when they put Statham in the Fast & Furious series, it wasn't as a crossover with the Transporter films.

Only watched it because I thought it was different type of genre.

^ This. Yes FOTR is my fav of the trilogy too. Something more intimate about this film as it allows us to breathe and get to know the characters more deeply. The other two films are magnificent but their grande scale doesn't really allow for the more quieter moments of FOTR.

Yeah... Each of the trilogy has particular strengths, but Fellowship is the one that I'd consider a pretty much perfect movie. There's also something about the filming that looks better in that first movie, darker and more grounded.

Quite a bit better than the first. It helps that this has a real score and not out of place hip hop, the action is crazier, and the visual style looks like Letterier spent a weekend marathoning Tony Scott movies. I could have done with the kid's parents being less annoying, though, and the bad guys were seriously lame... again.

The trouble with doing car chases around French towns is they will never come close to matching Ronin. Was an OK movie, but it hasn't changed my view that Van Damme has only ever done one film that's legit awesome, and that's Hard Target.

Infinity War.

Thought the last few 'solo' Marvel films have been a lot better, this one ranks more on par with the first Avengers for me. So, fine, not amazing. All seems to obey its own internal logic which only makes sense when the film needs it to. Pretty downbeat. All the characters get their chance to shine, which is becoming an increasingly difficult task with a cast this size, so that's well done.

If you're not a Marvel fan then don't believe the hype, this film definitely won't make you one. If you are, you'll be seeing it anyway. If you're on the fence like me, it's just about worth watching.

One post-credits scene, right at the *very* end.

It's certainly not for everyone and you have to be in the right mood and state of mind to see it. Bu it's worth it. Beautiful movie with class A acting.
I'm glad I took the time to see it.

Tomorrow: Prometheus.
Maybe with writers' commentary. But it's the first time I'd see it on blu-ray so maybe I'll go without.

Aliens Theatrical version

After watching the extended version for so long, I decided to give the original cut a ride. Still a classic, but those little tidbits and extra scenes really connect everything (they preceded or descended) much better.

All time sci-fi Classic/10

Contender for my favourite film of all time (although if I'm honest it probably comes in second behind Aliens). That scene would be the best part of it, and possibly my favourite single movie scene ever. There's so much going on in it, and Walken and Hopper absolutely shine.

In fact the whole film's cast, especially in the cameos department, is just incredible. I mean, Jesus... Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Ed Lauter, Val Kilmer, Saul Rubinek, Samuel L. Jackson, Bronson Pinchot, Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Christian Slater, Tom Sizemore, Chris Penn, Gary Oldman... And not only is every single one of them perfectly cast, they all knock it out of the park, too. I've always thought the only thing that might've improved it in that department would've been one final showing from Bill Shatner at the very end when Rapaport finally gets his big break on T.J. Hooker :laugh:

The only movie I can think of that has more people I like in it would be Tombstone, which is a virtual who's-who of my favourite actors.

Security, a geriaction movie starring the aforementioned Antonio Banderas. It's Die Hard in a shopping mall, doesn't do anything new (they even wheel out Ben Kingsley in "pissed off with my minions" bad-guy-phone-in), isn't remotely original and doesn't even try to be.

But you know what... I didn't care, it was still great fun and I was glad I saw it. It was comfort food.

Avengers: Infinity War

Very long film but congrats to Marvel (from someone who is more a DC fan), they finally nailed the large ensemble blockbuster perfectly.

After the disappointment of Civil War (for me personally) I found this very enjoyable and they got the balance just right - even the humour which felt more natural rather than over the top or wrongly toned (Thor Ragnarok for example). Pratt & Hemsworth macho posturing was hilarious.

Bravo. Well done.

Spoiler
The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that the end act deaths of so many key characters felt cheap as you just know it's temporary until the next film. Thanos (Brolin) stole the film for me.

This is definitely the most flawed of the three, but I think it's not quite as bad as it's often made out to be. The last half or so once the action shifts to Sicily and Rome, especially that climax in the opera house, is pure poetry.

The new star wars movie. The Last Jedi,  I think. I've seen the originals once, but couldn't get into it. Saw the one with Liam Neeson, and couldn't even make it through the movie. But, it had been awhile since I saw a movie in this series so I gave it a shot. Wow, what a stinker. Both the guy playing Ford's son and Boyega shouldn't be allowed near movies again. No offense to folks who dig em. It's just not my cup of tea. The picture was fantastic though, great looking Blu-ray.

Totally agree. I didn't see it for years, then when I finally did I didn't get all the hate. Sure, it's the weakest of the three, but a bad film it ain't. Andy Garcia was just fantastic and I'm gutted they binned the fourth film about him.

Conversely, I honestly found Part II to be kinda overrated. The first one is far better.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Vertigo on May 03, 2018, 12:11:33 PM
I think the biggest problem with Godfather Part 3 is that it doesn't feel as informed as its forebears. For the first one in particular, Mario Puzo drew heavily from his sources in journalism, and a bit of his own upbringing as an Italian New Yorker with military service in World War 2. As a result, the film feels very real, drawing from actual accounts and experiences. Same goes for Part 2 to some degree. By the time Part 3 came around, Puzo had been out of journalism for nearly three decades, and it doesn't have the same feel of an inside track. By all accounts that film was made as a cash-in rather than because it was a story that needed to be told, and in my opinion you can really feel it.

Agreed with Hu that Part 2 is a bit overrated. It's more of a character study rather than the character journey of the first film, there's not much of an arc. Just deeper levels of exploration, plus the contrast with his father's relatively optimistic early years (which IIRC was originally planned for the first movie?). Also kind of a serpentine plot that can be tricky to follow.

Mafia stories can be fantastic, but it feels like there's one entry that absolutely dominates each period, and relegates everything else. Godfather did that for the Italian-American mafia golden age, leaving others like Once Upon A Time In America feeling a bit pointless despite their artistic merit. The Sopranos did the same for the post-government-crackdown period, retroactively curbstomping Goodfellas.

For a while it felt like there was no point in touching mafia stories after The Sopranos. We're in a new period now though, with globalisation changing the nature of organised crime. McMafia has tackled it and feels like something very fresh and new, but I think we'll see a really definitive take on the subject at some point in the next few years.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: KiramidHead on May 03, 2018, 12:17:46 PM
The flashback scenes were mostly from Puzo's novel. I don't think they were ever intended for the first movie.  And II's plot is indeed complicated, and I think it suffers from spinning one too many plates at once. Those Senate hearings kind of just happen, with zero build up.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Russ on May 03, 2018, 03:18:27 PM
In the 80s or 90s, there was a version of the Godfather shown on BBC (I think) that cut the stories of I and II together chronologically. Unless I'm mis-remembering, but I remember it starting off with DeNero Vito and going from there.

Indeed they did, and indeed it was not. When I heard the name, I thought a long held dream was about to come true. What I saw from the trailer looked more like the forest showdown from first blood with some guy in a monkey suit subbing for stalone.

First time in surround. Heard stuff I didn't hear earlier. There's that eerie sound that I just love.
Skipped most non-David parts. But overal I'm starting to appreciate the movie more and more.

They made a Primal Rage movie and it wasn't about skyscraper-sized dinosaur, monster and gorilla gods fighting in the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Earth?

Indeed they did, and indeed it was not. When I heard the name, I thought a long held dream was about to come true. What I saw from the trailer looked more like the forest showdown from first blood with some guy in a monkey suit subbing for stalone.

The Church.
Was originally intended to be Demons 3 but the director decided to cut all references bar one to the first two. Its an enjoyable film, but some bits are random.

Zoolander 2
Fun but not as good as the first one. Some great cameos

Infinity War.

Then went home and saw "The Babysitter" and then the Nick Cage church funded "Left Behind." (we were drinking by this stage).

Spoiler for Avengers: Infinity War.

Spoiler


In the context of Infinity War, Left Behind was really good (in a shit way). We were postulating that the events in Left Behind (its the story of The Rapture - with Nick Cage, so its awesome) were actually part of the Thanos effect. So... Left Behind is now a sidequel to the Avengers in my head canon).

Was class, obviously. Highlights were The Running Man, which I've not seen for ages, Total Recall, because it looks absolutely stellar on the big screen, and Commando, because Commando. Predator was in there too; I think Arnie and Carl Weather's "handshake" probably got the biggest cheer of the night.

Third time watching this and it definitely feels 2 and a half hours long. The stuff that works, works so good. so many classic scenes (Crait/The Opening sequence/Luke). But the stuff that doesn't work drags it down (Canto Bight/No telling people a simple plan)

Have you seen The Nice Guys? It's Shane Black's most recent movie.
The characters have a little bit of a Lethal Weapon vibe going imo but it's a totally different kind of movie.

Funny, the opposite happenned to me (it did not help that the trailers for IM3 lied about what the movie was about and what tone it had) is a mediocre movie made by someone who obviously has not read an Iron Man comic in his life, which is the same people the mcu targets as audience.

Avengers: Infinity War

I could talk a lot about it, but i would just say that is the first good Marvel movie made by disney that actually feels like a Marvel comic book brought to life. There is still stupid forced jokes, but they are minimal though is still a flaw in the script. Also, they lied when they said they werent gonna be two separated movies anymore. We only saw half a movie.

Pacific Rim Uprising.

Enjoyable. Not a patch on the original but not half as bad as the critics made it out to be. Defo missing Del Toro's macabre/gothic touch though. The fact the whole film was pretty much all shot during daytime too was the wrong choice.

Very much a more kiddie friendly film.

That is funny... neither have I for that matter though. I don't think it's fair to say it's a mediocre movie but I can understand not being on board with changes made to a story that you've been a fan of since before the movies came along. At any rate I thought the action scenes were fantastic which is all I can hope for with his direction with The Predator considering the story could be a hit or miss.






Watched Veronica last night and thought it was a decent horror flick for Netflix. Some creepy moments and good acting. The little brother is so adorable

Not great, but certainly bad.

Maniac Cop 2 (1990)
Decent movie as far as horror sequels go.
And some proper late 80's/early 90's elements like a small dose of nudity because of a sleazy strip bar scene. And cars explode pretty fast during chases and such.

The cast did fine. What killed it for me was that the story just felt stinky and the bad guy kinda sucked. He looked like one of the guys from Jack the Giant Slayer, and he really didn't do much. And Bruce acting so guilty was unnecessary. He didn't kill superman, nor did they part as enemies. He saved Clark's mom for goodness sake. That whole plot point really felt out of place.

I won't say for certain, but after years of preferring AVPR due to wolf and it's more graphic content, the cast and environment have finally started to weigh on me.

I was talking the other day with my mate about how much we rate Bautista. Not saying he's an especially great actor, but of all the wrestlers-turned-actors (I know he wasn't actually a wrestler, but you get my drift) he seems to have had the most career sense. He's always in roles that perfectly suit him, instead of trying to do more than he can.

Not saying he's an especially great actor, but of all the wrestlers-turned-actors (I know he wasn't actually a wrestler, but you get my drift) he seems to have had the most career sense. He's always in roles that perfectly suit him, instead of trying to do more than he can.

and that's why Vince wont have him back in WWE lol

Dave did a fantastic podcast on Talk is Jericho (Chris Jericho's pod) last year I think it was. Brilliant to listen to as he delved quite deeply into his work in BR2049, GOTG and other movies. He's a fantastic guy who is quite honest and open about his own ability on the big screen.

Recommend you give it a listen.

Charisma or not, I'm used to seeing the rock be the same character in gi joe and fast and furious, or rampage and san andreas. Don't get me wrong, ol' Rock can get it done though. Now Bautista might not be king of the hill, but being in Guardians, Blade Runner and a 007 movie is rather impressive. Blade Runner especially. He might not have the star power of the rock, but I get the impression that he takes his acting seriously, and he's got some range.

Takes it very seriously (see my previous post about the Podcast he did with Chris Jericho) ... basically said he's very much aware of his own skillset and how he tries to learn as much as he can off his more celebrated co-stars. He's had no formal training ... pretty impressive CV for a `novice'.

Or is that Operation Condor 2? :laugh: This is pretty cool for the most part, and only really falters when the annoying love triangle shit takes center stage at the least appropriate time.

That is one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies  :laugh: There was rumors of a third film being made.

Chinese Zodiac was supposed to be the third one, but the connections are supposedly loose.

Yeah its seems to be a reboot from what I read. 

I think the love triangle thing was in first Armor of god, as Operation Condor was actually Armor of God 2, funny thing is that they released them in reverse order and changed Armor of God to Operation Condor 2.  :laugh:
It is Operation Condor (Armor of God 2) that is my favourite. The one where they are after the gold.

Iron Man 3- first time viewing and enjoyed it. It has some awesome action scenes and loved the humor. This has me feeling more confident in Shane and his direction with The Predator.


Funny, the opposite happenned to me (it did not help that the trailers for IM3 lied about what the movie was about and what tone it had) is a mediocre movie made by someone who obviously has not read an Iron Man comic in his life, which is the same people the mcu targets as audience.


That is funny... neither have I for that matter though. I don't think it's fair to say it's a mediocre movie but I can understand not being on board with changes made to a story that you've been a fan of since before the movies came along. At any rate I thought the action scenes were fantastic which is all I can hope for with his direction with The Predator considering the story could be a hit or miss.

As a movie, it is without quesiton entertainning and well made, a decent brainless blockbuster, as an adaptation yeah is awful, but as a movie is not great either, is to watch one time and then you forget about it. I havent watched it again since theaters (a refund would have been nice btw, since the trailers sold me a different movie that what i went to watch) but i guess the action was ok

Last movie i watched: The Wailing. Weird movie, but decent, a little too long and redundant in parts, thought.

First half was decent enough (largely thanks to Frank Grillo who is always excellent - deserves a bigger stage - kinda reminds me of Michael Beihn but more intense).

Jesus Christ Superstar the year 2000 version  * * * *

After seeing it live I wanted to see the film. I especially liked Fred Johanson as Pilate my favorite of the cast. Excellent performances by ALL.

Seeing the Roman Guard with Darth Vadar style helmet's took a bit getting used to. To me it took you out of the experience. More so than the other updated visuals.

I also watched the making of feature...there was an opening shot of Pinewood Studio's  ;)

Since I wasn't familiar with any of the cast save Rick Mayall or the director it too was enjoyable.

Miami Vice was pretty much a ground breaker as far as music in TV series goes - especially during the 80s. Vice also became a fashion pointer too - from the clothes, look, the cars, everything (even the Amigas used at their Police HQ office). I loved the TV series and whilst the film was a more gritty tone I still enjoyed it.

The series. They tended more towards using obscure stuff, particularly by British bands that otherwise had no exposure in the US.

Don't get me wrong, there's still some big artists on the soundtrack, but even when they went with a big name, it was almost never one of their most obvious hits.

Yeah, as I mentioned in the TV show thread, as far as I've ever been able to tell the show practically invented the concept of using popular music to frame the narrative, which you now see all the time.

Quote from: Prez on May 24, 2018, 11:52:09 PMI loved the TV series and whilst the film was a more gritty tone I still enjoyed it.

I quite like the film too. It's a crap adaptation of the series, but as it's own thing I enjoy it. It mostly gets by on it's Michael Mann factor (he's probably my favourite director of all-time).

Quote from: Baron Von Marlon on May 25, 2018, 02:13:35 AMI always liked Tommy Vercetti's in Vice City, does that count?  ;D

Quote from: KiramidHead on May 25, 2018, 03:17:48 AMAs long as he's not Timmy Vermicelli from Driv3r I suppose... :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You might know already, but that was actually round 2 in a good-natured feud between the developers that started in GTA III - in which there's a character named Tanner (the same name as the protagonist from the first few Driver games) who walks like a woman (mocking the strange walking animation the protagonist had in Driver 2).

Timmy Vermicelli was the Driver team getting their own back - notice the arm bands, mocking the fact Tommy Vercetti would die if he fell in the water.

Quote from: Baron Von Marlon on May 25, 2018, 03:22:35 AMI vaguely remember Driver. Crappy GTA rip-off if I'm not mistaken.

Actually the early Driver games pre-dated 3D-era Grand Theft Auto. Loved the first few. Their big selling point over GTA was the fact they had a built-in movie editor feature, so you could record your own car chases and cut together a film. It was quite advanced come the third game. It's just a shame you could never export them as video files.

Notably that idea has now made it's way into GTA V.

Saving Private Ryan - Blu-Ray. Still good, but it's starting to lose it's impact for me personally. Hard to believe it's been 20 years.

It's a trip though, I remember when they played it "unedited" on regular television once back in the day. It was some special broadcasting, and I can't remember if it was CBS, NBC or ABC. But man, it was just unheard of to hear the F-Word being dropped and see people losing body parts on national television. I can't remember why they played it, but everybody I knew was talking about it and watched it that night. I seem to remember one of the anchors talking about the limited commercial breaks and warning viewers about the content it was going to contain.

EDIT: Apparently it was aired by ABC on Veterans Day and they did it from 2001 to 2004. I watched the first one back in 2001. Never even knew they did it several times.

Game Over, Man. Die Hard style comedy that was entirely juvenile ... and hilarious. Sorry, but I really enjoyed.

Did "Fury" and "Hacksaw Ridge" back to back. "Ridge" - despite all the violence was saccharine compared to "Fury" which I really enjoyed. I think watching the two in one sitting lessened the "Hacksaw Ridge" experience.

That film's rated a 15 in the UK, and to this day I'm convinced the only reason it didn't get an 18 certificate is because of its important historical context, particularly with regards to the opening D-Day sequence. If you had that level of violence and gore in any other movie it would've got the higher rating without question, but because it was such an accurate document of Second World War combat, it got by with a more lenient certificate - one that allowed it to be shown educationally in schools, something I remember happening when I was at secondary. It's also undoubtedly what led to it being shown uncut on US TV.

When it came out though, it was so much more harrowing than anything else I had seen with a 15 rating, I couldn't believe it wasn't an 18.

As a piece of movie-making, it genuinely changed things. There have been countless war films since with similarly-styled hyper-realistic - and graphic - combat sequences, many of which have similarly managed to show some pretty extreme stuff with a 15 certificate (Band of Brothers springs immediately and obviously to mind), but I certainly can't recall seeing anything even half as visceral and shocking before Private Ryan came out.

Predators

This movie is pretty underrated in my opinion. Really enjoyed the flick but I do have a lot of issues with the Nolan character. Felt like he was a wasted element which could have been pretty cool had they fleshed him out a bit more. Would've liked to see a bit more Predator vs Predator fighting and a longer battle between Hanzo and the Falconer Predator.

Overall though it has a fantastic premise and some of the action is pretty good. The final fight is fun.

It's like a your favorite dish. Following the recipe is something that's guaranteed to work. When people start adding and changing too much stuff, before you know it that steak sauce on your plate isn't steak sauce anymore, it's doodoo.

Innovation is not needed when perfection has already been achieved. Under such circumstances, one runs significant risk of innovating something into failure. It's just not practical.

As for barely memorable slots, just wait for slot four when Predator: Homecoming comes out. I mean The Amazing Predator. I mean Iron Predator...doh!  ;)

Well said. When I discuss following formula, what I'm trying to convey is that the "bones" of the original idea are left intact. That is to say, the predators still act like predators.

Now, the number of people, their gender, age, ethnicity, the weapons they use can all be different in style and number. The number who die and survive can differ from past films, maybe none would survive. The location can even be different like in predator 2.

But the aspects of the hunt and the main goal of the predators should remain intact. Having predators form alliances with humans or come to earth for anything other than hunting feels like a stretch too far. That's why I enjoyed predators so much. Aside from the guy with the minigun, there was no resemblance to the original cast, but the predators and what they were doing rang true.

Yeah, that's my biggest problem with the film too. Not only did the character feel like a massive wasted opportunity, a porky Laurence Fishburne did nothing to convince me he'd been surviving for years on a hostile alien planet all by himself.

Different people view things differently. Personally, I'd give a film that tries something different but fails far more credit than a movie that's simply a copy of things that were done better before. That's why I thought Jurassic World and The Force Awakens were so dull - there was no originality, only inferior imitation.

As The Old One said, almost all of the best stuff in Predators is when it isn't simply aping the first movie.

I liked that in Predators they mentioned Dutch's mission (as they did in Predator 2). This made it feel like a part of the same 'verse in a way that AvP did not. Don't get me wrong, I love AvP, though!

Edge of Tomorrow and American Sniper - back to back

Having not seen Edge of Tomorrow since 2015, I'd forgotten how good it was. Looking at the suits and the overall design of the movie, I'd love to see Doug Liman take on an Alien movie. More specifically, something like Aliens 86. The mixture of humor and drama was fantastic. The humor was never overly juvenile, and when it needed to get serious, it got downright serious and did it well. What a fun movie. I hear they're making headway with a sequel. Can't wait to see it.

This was so bland. It's described as action/comedy/crime. Sure it's a lot of illegal behaviour but not the interesting kind.
The comedy is absent and the action is minimal.
I'm still surprised movies like this one get made. See, I get that there are Transformers movies because there's an audience for those. But who like movies like this one? I'll be calling them blands from now one.

Watched The Descent last night. Had it recorded on my box for months, but the discussion about it on here recently finally got me off my ass and made me watch it.

It was decent, but to be honest, horror films don't scare me (Alien is genuinely the only one that's managed it) and a lot of the time I find if a horror film isn't scaring you, there's not much point. This one kinda fell into that camp, despite my wanting to love it on account of the director. Ironically, I thought by far the tensest moment in the film was before the monsters showed up (when the girl got stuck in the shaft; that was actually pretty heart-pounding). Once the creepers came out, it sagged into being a generic stalk-and-slash movie for me, albeit one with a novel setting.

That's probably the worst singular opinion I've ever seen on the X-Men franchise or any franchise, better than Logan or DOFP?

It's made by Brett Ratner and caused all the continuity problems, it also gets worse every time you rewatch it.

Origins greatest crime, apart from destroying the intrigue between Stryker and Logan in X2, is how coma inducing it is. If you ignore TLS, Origins and Apocalypse, you'll find a series that suspiciously is now continuity nonsense free. (Aka these three entries are literally responsible for all the continuity errors.)

Logan was definitely a good film, but I left with the distinct impression that if you removed all the blood and violence, you honestly wouldn't be left with anything particularly special. I absolutely got the feeling most of the gushing praise the fans heaped on it was simply down to the fact it was R-rated, rather than because it was especially superb.

Is Days of Future Past the one that starts in the future with them virtually extinct? I remember that being pretty naff. In fact the prequel series in general (what I've seen of it) has been a mess. I find it funny you claim The Last Stand "caused all the continuity problems" when it seems like it's mostly the prequels that came after which have been beset with continuity issues.

To be honest, I'm generally not a massive fan of superhero films (with a few notable exceptions like Batman and Iron Man), and I think I like The Last Stand so much because it shatters the one major convention that annoys me with most superhero movies - the fact no one ever f*cking dies. What threat is there if every hero character is invulnerable? I remember really sitting up when Cyclops dies in The Last Stand, because it made me think, "Oh, shit, they ain't messing around this time..." Suddenly I was invested because the threat felt real and far more serious. There were a few really good death scenes, especially the one where Xavier buys it.

I'm fully aware everyone will disagree with my opinion lol. But there you have it.

TLS caused continuity problems because it had nothing to do with Simon Kinberg's outline, nor did Origins.
Apocalypse was a straight f**k up.

If you removed the blood entirely from Logan it would still be the best film of the past year.

DOFP did everything TLS did but better in every capacity. TLS is the TLJ of X-Men and I mean that with every drop of venom I can muster.

But Batman Returns is the MVP.

The acting, directing, and script for Logan make that movie so much more than a superhero movie. The violence was just the kick the fans wanted because for so long we had got this restrained Wolverine. It was the perfect send off for a great character brought to life by Hugh Jackman.

Colors (1988)
With Robert Duvall, Sean Penn and María Conchita Alonso.
Probably my favorite Sean Penn movie. Duvall is good as usual and Alonso a nice addition like she always was back then.
Late eighties were perfect for cop movies.

Homegrown (1998)
Only saw this once but I didn't remember anything besides the beginning. I wonder why.
Overal pretty good but mainly because of the cast. Movie itself is lacking something.

Kenny And Company (1976)
11 year olds growing up in California suburb.
Nice movie.

That would be McQueen in Towering Inferno. He says it near the end when he's told somebody (him) has to go blow the water tanks at the top of the tower to put out the fire. It's intimated that it's basically a suicide mission. McQueen was also the same actor to drop the famous "bullshit" line in Bullitt. To think such language was once taboo is frightening. The generation of innocence, I think they called it.

On a side note, my mother also saw it in theaters when she was a kid. She said the whole theater erupted into applause when Richard Chamberlain's character fell. Adios to the bad guy.

Thought it was good but overhyped. If it wasn't for the cast I think it would've been average.

Bullitt's an awesome film (and not just because of the world's most over-hyped car chase). If you ignore the fact it was so obviously filmed in the 60s (hard to do; it's 60s as f*ck :laugh:) it's actually a pretty modern movie. A lot of the procedural stuff foreshadowed where TV has gone since. I love Robert Vaughn in it. Such a slimy shit.

I don't normally like films that old, I find them way too corny, but Bullitt is so straight and gritty I love it.

That's one of the main things I like about those old movies like Bullitt, Alien, etc. So much effort went into the world, and not just the characters or some love story or what-have-you. Everything was so detailed and procedural. Everything felt real. People working, using things, tools, machines, processes. Now we just pan past all sorts of wonderful technology and things and are expected to accept it without question or interest since we're a very techno-savvy society. Where's the salesmanship? It's a lost art I tell you.

Well, the Martian was pretty good about it, but he was depending on that gear for his life. So the technology had to play a bigger role and seem legit while doing it.

It's always fun watching Vincent Price play a nut, and Roger Corman did a pretty good job directing the Poe movies. Shame this started a trend of these movies padding out five minutes with a pointless dream/hallucination scene, though.

Noticed two things that somehow escaped me before.

1. The guy standing on the ladder Dallas looks up right after Lambert tells him it's coming right for him. Shoes, legs and all. Seems to be Dallas, waiting to descend into frame for a different angle on the kidnapping shot. He's moving around. Looks like he's just chilling out before they were supposed to start rolling,

2. After Parker is dead, and while Lambert is being killed, the subtitles Display "Parker Whimpering". Never noticed it before.

Heat

Michael Mann's probably my favourite director of all time. I don't know what it is, but his films always seem to have this extra indescribable something that other directors, even really bloody good ones, just don't bring to the table.

As for the film in question, it's been a while since I last saw this. While I wouldn't say it's my favourite Mann film, there's no denying it's probably his magnum opus. And come on, Pacino and De Niro acting on screen together for the first time... (Godfather II doesn't count, they were in separate time periods lol.) And they're just the tip of a really awesome casting iceberg; everyone excels in their role, and there are a lot of roles. Plus if the shootout in this isn't the greatest ever put on film, it's certainly the greatest sounding.

Lost World is alright, much better than I remember it being on the last viewing. It just has three or four major flaws that really stick out for me. Spielberg changing the ending mid production (and cutting a bunch of scenes to make room for the new stuff) really hurts the film for me.

A big negative is obviously Kelly killing a raptor. There's also a bit of confusion in regard to the bodies found in the boat after it crashes towards the end and how they died. The finale in San Diego while entertaining should have been done much better, I would've rather it stayed on the Island. Vince Vaughn disappears in the final act which was disappointing.

Overall though, it's just a movie I can watch over and over again. All of them honestly. I was such a huge fan of dinosaurs growing up that these movies will never be bad to me.

The Pit and the Pendulum (1961)

I love this, not only is it very atmospheric with a decent plot twist or two, but it's kind of neat that the surviving characters never actually figure what exactly was going on. And that final shot is pretty f**ked up by 1961 standards.

Manhunter is extremely underrated, another great movie I haven't watched in awhile. After reading Red Dragon by Harris, I prefer Manhunter over the film Red Dragon. If y'all never read the book, I highly suggest doing so!

Even with the totally changed ending (or perhaps even because of it), I've always thought Manhunter is a much better film than Red Dragon. Brian Cox and especially William Petersen are far superior to their counterparts in the remake.

A girlfriend introduced me to that and I loved it, but then we broke up and I never saw beyond the first few episodes lol.

Deep Cover

It's easy to forget now that Laurence Fishburne was once a genuinely great actor. The film as whole could be better - the pacing and direction (by Bill "Mac from Predator" Duke) are kind of all over the place - but Fishburne and Goldblum are excellent in their roles.

Sicario

Gave this a re-watch in anticipation of the new one. Del Toro in particular is excellent. Absolutely superb cinematography. The new one looks like it'll be entertaining but you can pretty much guarantee it won't be as genuinely fantastic as this.

And it's not really a film, but I also watched Fear of the Flesh: The Making of The Fly. I could've sworn I'd seen this before, but there was a lot in it I didn't remember so perhaps not. Excellent documentary. As you'd expect, much time is spent on the film's grotesque makeup and gore effects. The only real downside is the fact Cronenberg himself isn't interviewed.

Infinity War for the second time: The virtues and flaws of the movie are more noticeable this time, but it is still good.

Pacific Rim Uprising: Meh, Del Toro is missing but the story is not good anyway, but it is entertainning.

Han Solo - A Star Wars Story: Without being the dumpster fire that we were told, is not a good movie, is empty, souless, nothing that happens reach you in anyway, pretty forgettable. And God did the feminist robot was irritating, but is like a parody i guess. I am sure the original directors made a way better movie.

I feel like that was because Spielberg had more to do with the first one. The jokes are not as bad in the first movie, because especially in the second one they are horrendous. Once the movie made money the studio was like alright Bay just do what you do.

The first is the best one and the third one is probably right below it. The other sequels are just not good. Bits and pieces are entertaining but man I remember seeing The Last Knight in theaters and it was literally draining. I walked out of that theater exhausted.

The Last Knight somehow managed to be even worse than Revenge of the Fallen. At least Age of Extinction dialed the comedy down and had a decent human villain in Kelsey Grammer. Granted, it was also an hour longer than it needed to be.

Probably the best?! That was my favorite movie from last year. Loved the action/chase through the deserted outpost in the limo. I think they definitely took some inspiration from The Last of Us for Logan, it worked perfectly though.


Watched The Howling, recently. I love Dee Wallace, she just has a good presence and unique voice. Wish I didn't have the ending spoiled for me before I watched it but still an entertaining flick.
Spoiler
I expected it to be more about her being a werewolf throughout the movie and then realizing it as she transforms at the end during the news.

Near Dark- love seeing Lance, Goldstein, and Paxton together again. They make the movie though.

Near Dark the 2015 remake, which I haven't seen the original but I really enjoy this movie as it's just goofy fun and has some creepy moments... and good music.

Yeah, Jedi's always been my favourite of the series, even if it's not the best. Sure, the Ewoks are dumb and how the hell did they set up all those siege machines in such a short space of time anyway?

Open Range.

Still the best modern western to date. The cinematography is just exceptional. And Duvall is just in full-blown Duvall mode. Straight up killin' it. Well written, well shot, well acted. A quality film.

I remember being pleasantly surprised when Bernthal popped up in the first one. I'll have to rewatch that before I see the sequel. I just wish they had stuck with calling it Soldado instead of the awkward one they stuck it with.

Understatement. First one was very sinister. Second was up there with some of the worst Friday the 13th sequels. A shame as I had a few good ex work-colleagues working on the post production of that one - was filmed up north of where I live here in Australia. But that film just became a parody slasher film to me.

I have that Blu-ray, I always though Arnold looked 'waxy' in that scene anyway, it didn't make much difference for me.  The only difference is the noticeable removing of film grain from some of the shots.

SYFY, Aylum and any folks like them should really just stop making movies. period. You can't even call them B movies (even if they are) because even the old school B movies have been much more better at times.

And the actors, some of them have actually been in proper decent movies or otherwise once had a good career in something, why would they lower themselves to such quality, I imagine for money of course but reputations could be ruined, which in the acting world matters more than money.

The neomorphs were a bit of a letdown for me. I admire their savageness, but I guess I'm just spoiled on the xenomorph. You look at that creature, and every part of it looks frightening and deadly. The neomorphs just look like big white sphincters to me.

As for the lander fight, it just feels too light for me. Perhaps it's the large open space and the daylight. It makes the creature seem less threatening.

The switch with David and walter was just so obvious in so many scenes after the lander fight, it just seemed like a pointless plot twist.

I'll say one thing in it's defense. It looked gorgeous. The production values were simply amazing. The sets, the drawings, the cinematography, it was just breathtaking. Ridley would be the only person I'd want coming within a mile of this franchise, if they could just bring on some better writers and keep him far away from the script. I think this is why the original film was so fantastic. His authority was limited, and he simply focused on making the movie. Under such circumstances, he exceeds many others in delivering a quality product.

I find myself in total agreement, but I'll say it again and again until I'm blue in the face; the Neomorphs with better CGI could've been incredible if they based them entirely on Carlos Huante's original design with various layers of transparency.

Pure Tenacity.  ;)

Honestly, for the reason I stated. I'm trying to find some reason to like it. A lot of people don't, but there are plenty of people who do. I'd love to be able to enjoy it too. So I go back to it every now and then, once I've had time to get the "God that still sucked" out of my mind, and approach it with a blank slate, in hopes of maybe noticing something that I missed before, or simply developing a better understanding/appreciation of where Ridley was going with it.

The last time I watched it, I couldn't stand a single second of it. This time I actually enjoyed the movie up until David's rescue. I found all the events on the ship, the conversations and the landing to be quite entertaining. Time and distance have a way of improving things. I even like Prometheus now. I never did the first several times I saw it. I'm just trying to look past the issues I have with the structure of the second film in an attempt to form a more positive experience from a negative one.

Cool that you have the tenacity.
If I don't like something after 3 viewings, chances are very slim I'm gonna like it.

I didn't like Prometheus at first because I expected (and maybe wanted) another Alien flick.
Later on in one of my Lovecraftian moods, I looked at it as one of his stories. Then I was able to appreciate it more. And over time I kept going back to it. Now it's one of my all time favorite movies.

I like Covenant, but mostly the David parts. Despite the Alien being shoehorned in, I still consider it more of David movie.

Just finished Pacific Rim Uprising. Got it basically for free.

My God, that was quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen in perhaps my entire life. There is no amount of Tenacity that can save it for me. I am broken. This makes the last jedi, the last knight, and independence day 2 look like Oscar contenders. If anyone in charge of this movie ever reads this,

Dear Sir or Madam

"Movies this bad make me not want to watch movies anymore. Please, never, ever, do this again. No more politics. No more bad actors. No more children. This movie was absolutely terrible. Stop pandering, and focus on telling a solid and entertaining story. Never let a movie like this leave paper. Tell anybody pitching something like this to shut up and get out. Please, I beg you, in the name of humanity".

Sincerely,

A lifelong fan of the cinema, and a cash paying moviegoer.

Body Bags

Mostly fun horror anthology. The Carpenter segments were pretty good, but Tobe Hooper's contribution was lackluster and felt like it dragged on forever.



Village of the Damned (1995)

The cast is mostly pretty good, but the script on this one is just a bland retread of the original movie with a few bits changed around. I'd gladly sacrifice this for the Black Lagoon remake Carpenter actually wanted to do.

Death Wish V: The Face of Death

I've now seen every Death Wish film apart from the first, which is the only one that's actually considered a good movie :laugh: This was pretty average. Definitely a mistake to dial back the insanity of the previous two, which were far more fun as a result (Jesus, part three is absolutely off the f*cking scale :laugh:). Still, a man gets shot into a wood-chipper that appears from nowhere, so there's that.

The best thing about the third one is not that it's crazy, but that it's so crazy after the first two (I assume; as I said, I've not actually seen the original, but everything I've read about it gives me the impression it's even more downbeat and serious than the second one). They clearly realised they'd already killed everyone even vaguely meaningful in Kersey's life and just decided to go nuts with the formula. I can almost imagine the pre-production meeting... "F*ck it, just multiply the number of goons by ten and give him a machine gun. Also everyone else joins in." The bit where Kersey and the cop start taking names together is like a video game where player 2 just joined in :laugh:

Death Wish 3 is one of my absolute favourite drunk movies lol.

The fourth one's along the same lines, although not quite so utterly insane.

Not a film per se, but if television-dramas are allowed, ''The Barchester Chronicles''.

A gentle piece of nineteenth-century ecclesiastical politics and  with the odd keen barb against the hypocrisy of the established denominations, an excellent cast, Donald Pleasence in one of his very rare ''good'' roles (the Revd. Septimus Harding), Angela Pleasence and Janet Maw as his daughters, Nigel Hawthorne as the apoplectic Archdeacon Grantly, Alan Rickman as the repulsive chaplain Obadiah Slope, Geraldine MacEwan as the overbearing Mrs. Proudie and Susan Hampshire as the soi-disant Signora Madeleine Vesey Neroni (real name Madeleine Stanhope!).

Charmingly old-fashioned, a glimpse at the world of those who cannot see beyond the veil into the macabre. Theirs is probably a more pleasant existence, they do not

Quote''struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright''

My family, despite my aunt's love of the gothic, still resembled, and still does, to a great degree the quiet country middle-class round of afternoon church teas, bone-china, garden-parties and S.W.R.I. sales of work: it's an odd juxtaposition, when I am well enough to go out (not often) with my own Gigeriana. I literally have prints of Giger on the wall with doilies and silk flowers -- Mother is very understanding, although she thinks it morbid.

I would not be otherwise, for the knowledge and exploration of the subconscious and of myth and symbol that the sleepless nights and dark books bring is too precious and too fascinating for me, the more so as it is disturbing.

I am sorry for these little snippets, I am an odd and lonely chap and seem to be spilling out my life more than I meant to.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

My holiday in Venice made me want to watch some Venice-set movies; I was going to stick on Moonraker, but then I remembered I lent my Bond 50 set to a mate, so I went for this instead.

Been an age since I watched any of these. Still absolutely love the original trilogy. I don't think I'd ever call this a better movie than the first, but I think it might be my favourite of the three. I really enjoy the slightly more overt comedic tone. The scene where Indy finds out he got his dad's sloppy seconds is hilarious :laugh:

Also makes me laugh every time how the cross Indy recovers at the beginning of the movie is literally the only artifact he ever succeeds in bringing back to a museum :laugh:

Dead Snow 2 (2014)
Only the second time I saw this and it's still great. One of the best horror-comedies of the last five years.
I highly recommend this one.

The Waterboy (1998)
One of the better Adam Sandler flicks.

Noctem (2017)
Spanish found footage. Not good, not bad either, just ok.

Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie (2004)
This was supposed to be another storyline in the Anchorman movie but it got cut. So the editing is a little messy at time but it's still fun to watch if you're a fan of the Anchorman movies.

A few iffy calls here and there, but overall a very good film and the last really great one from Carpenter. Having Sam Neill in the lead helps immensely, of course.

Might be my favourite film ending of all time.

Moonraker

Got my Bond Blu-rays back, so I put this on. A very uneven film - for everything dumb that happens (and there are some seriously dumb moments), there seems to be something really dark to balance it out. In particular, Drax setting his dogs on his secretary for helping Bond is a really harrowing scene. And as dumb as the entire concept of Bond going into space (with zero training!) is, the actual flight into orbit sequence is played totally straight, superbly shot and helped no end by Barry's excellent score. Most of the model shots still hold up really well too; you can tell they spent a lot of time on them.

Still far from the best even Bond and saddled with too much slapstick, but better than I remembered it being.

Also it contains what might be my favourite film set of all time - the Moonraker launch control centre in the Amazon jungle, constructed entirely from huge television monitors. It's incredible, looks like it cost an absolute fortune... and is seen on screen for about 90 seconds :laugh:

Oh yeah, finally, the Venice stuff - I lol'd at how Bond walked into a shop in St. Marks' Square, then somehow ended up in a glass museum actually found on the island of Murano some 30 minutes away, before going upstairs and throwing Drax's henchman through a clock face back in St. Marks :laugh:

Re-watching some Bond also made me put on Licence to Kill. Not so much to say about this, except that it's awesome and the reason I've always liked Robert Davi. I wish he could've got some other starring roles because he's superb as the villain in this.

I kind of wish they'd do something like "Unforgiven". With Sam Neil in the Sheriff role.

I just watched 300 and 300: Rise of an Empire. I hated 300 when it first came out, but I'm coming to appreciate it more and more each time I watch it. Rise is nowhere near on the same level - it's literally a load of ott fight scenes strung together with a few bits of dialogue.

But its still really entertaining.

Star Trek into Darkness

I was never all that wild on the 2009 film (I certainly didn't think as much of it as a lot of people seemed to), which is probably why I didn't see this when it came out. I think I ended up preferring it to the previous one. More action-packed, and the militaristic elements of the plot reminded me of The Undiscovered Country, which is probably my favourite Trek film. Decent, but still not as good as the best of the old movies.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico

I've always far preferred this film's immediate predecessor, but for whatever reason, I was really in the mood for this more outlandish (and cartoonish) sequel yesterday, which I've not watched in ages.

This is one of those films that I feel winds up somehow being less than the sum of its parts - there are some brilliant scenes and characters, but the end product ultimately feels like a bit of a let-down. I think part of the problem is the wildly shifting tone from scene to scene - you have laugh out loud comedy mixed with some really dark stuff, and it doesn't seem to blend all that well. Still, it's got a brilliant cast; I dunno what it is about Rodriguez, but starting with this he's managed to routinely assemble absolutely kick-ass casts for his films. Looking back on it now, this really anticipates the grindhouse style he's adopted with most of his movies since. Also loved the subtle little references to the other two films in the trilogy that I'd somehow never noticed before, like Rourke's chihuahua being called Moco (the villain from the first movie) or the ringtone on Banderas' mobile being the song he performs over the opening credits of Desperado. Great little touches.

Not as good as the superb Desperado, but still an immensely fun ride.

p.s. To any Mexican members we may have on the forums, I have one question for you: "Are you a Mexican? Or a Mexican't?" :laugh:

Honestly, it would be better if it were just about Johnny Depp being a bastard and manipulating everybody. The El Mariachi character doesn't really fit in a story with such large scope. And it doesn't help that they not only showed flashbacks of what looked like a much more interesting movie, but the bad guy he's out to get revenge on is a total blank slate who's barely in the movie and does less than nothing.

I honestly can't remember him even speaking until the scene where Mariachi kills him :laugh:

In fairness though, weren't they hamstrung by the fact Hayek was only available for a week or so to film her parts?

The Equalizer

This wasn't all bad. Denzel was great, the concept for his character was great, and that hardware store massacre, f**k me. The rest of it is desperately in need of a good tight edit, though. It takes forever for the main bad guy to get onto him, and so much time is wasted on useless subplots like the fat guy's mom. And the villain is so ridiculous he's impossible to take seriously.

I'll stick with Wick 1 if I want to see Russian mobsters getting offed.

Good flicks. Downey plays an excellent Holmes. I give them each 4/5.



American Assassin - Blu-ray

The beginning seemed promising, but it just falls into far too many genre clichés and cheesy dialogue, which just send it spiraling straight down. Hollywood needs to leave this kind of movie to those who do it best, Bourne and M.I. Glad I got it cheap. I give it 1/5.

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

I still think 'Begins is the best of this trilogy... 'Knight is a good (not great in my view) movie, but it feels very uneven... as if it should have been half-an-hour longer or half-an-hour shorter.

Hindsight - I kind of wish Man of Steel (et al) had been connected to this trilogy. From what I've seen thus far, nothing in DCEU (or Worlds of DC or whatever they're branding it these days) contradicts what has happened in Nolan's movies.

Look, I know what they said back when DCEU was getting going, reality-based, yada-yada... but with hindsight, I wonder if these movies "shared DNA", DCEU might have been better received. If I recall, Bale said he didn't want to do it, but I guess money talks in that regard.

This wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. The more overt comedy bits don't work very well, and the beach house interlude is in desperate need of a trim, but for the most part this was a decent thriller. Chase did okay in a (somewhat) more serious role, and Sam Neill was a great villain. And the effects were pretty spectacular.

Watched Outland again for the first time in a long time.

It's easy to say Hyams nicked a lot from Alien - 'cos he did - but Cameron owes Outland a debt.  I'm not talking about re-using the miners suits for the salvage crew so much, but the overall look of Hadley is very reminiscent of Con-Am 27.  And not just that - I completely forgot about the opening titles, you watch it thinking 'Oh this is just an homage to Alien, with credits appearing over a slowly forming film title and the music sounds the same' - but then at 1:07.

How is it?

It's been called High Noon in space, and there's some pretty obvious similarities.  It's a fairly bog standard plot about a lawman whose conscience forces him to take on Con-Am (frequently referred to as The Company), despite the odds being decidedly against him.

It plays it very loose with things like explosive decompression, but Connery is solid, and Martin Bowers miniatures are nice (though not shot as well the models in Alien).  And you can see shades of Clemens in the doctor.  As an Alien fan, it has its most value in that it's clearly an unauthorised story that takes place in the same universe.

First time I've ever seen it. Wild Flick. Kind of a head trip and alttle slow but I see where it was coming from and respect what Kubrick was trying to do. The picture quality was beyond gorgeous, just a fantastic Blu. Best moment for me was when I heard the opening theme from Aliens. I was in shock. Totally not expecting that.

Dunkirk

Christopher Nolan can plot a narrative like nobody's business by f**king hell will someone sit him down and explain the importance of character at some point?

Yes, yes, it's all very clever cutting the three timelines into a cohesive narrative. Props to the writing and editing and direction for that. But I have no more reason to care about the main soldiers trying to get off the beach than I do any of the dozens of faceless soldiers who get shot or drowned or blown up around them. For all we can identify them, or with them, each scene might as well have had a different cast of characters facing obstacles. You'd lose absolutely no dramatic flow or tension.

The only reason I like Tom Hardy's character is he's Tom Hardy. The guys on the boat are the only real characters in the whole story.

Still haven't seen it but you got me thinking about what is the greatest war film of all time.

For me personally it's gotta be Apocalypse Now (love the Redux version too). It's not even really a war film rather a journey deeper into hell. Saving Private Ryan and Platoon are also magnificent. Full Metal Jacket is superb too. I loved Black Hawk Down but that film is more substance than plot (hmmm lets not mention the director).

Private Ryan's always held a special place for me, just because I can remember when it came out - the combat scenes were so much more harrowing and visceral than any war movie I'd ever seen before, and even as a complete layman you get the impression that must be getting close to what combat is really like.

Dunno if I'd say it's the greatest of all time, but if you look at how many films have copied its style since, there's no denying it completely revolutionised the war movie genre.

Le Manoir aka The Mansion (2017)
Decent horror comedy about a group of friends celebrating new year's eve in an old mansion.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Not bad but didn't think it was great or anything. On the other hand, it's basically half a movie. Might be better to judge after seeing the other half.
Still, getting more and more tired of the classic Marvel flicks.

I think it's supposed to show the hellish insanity that was the Vietnam war, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, it's one of my all time favorites movies.

Seen the documentary? Gives the movie a little extra.

The jumping around in time really shat me in that film.  Every time we cut you have to work where you are again - is this before that bit or after this bit?  Is this plane guy before he ran out of fuel, or the other plane guy?  A bit of jumping around would've worked nicely, but I found it way over the top.

Other than that I dug it.

Black Hawk Down is my favorite War film of all time.

Great film. No real plot, and kinda annoying how they cut out everything even remotely critical of the US military (if you've read the book, the American command structure was basically the principle reason most of their soldiers died), but it's visually spectacular. Great cast too.

Speaking of the book, it's excellent. Military non-fiction can be really dry and hard to get through; Black Hawk Down's great because the guy takes the facts and then writes it as though it's a regular novel.

Quote from: MudButt on Aug 01, 2018, 03:27:18 AMFury is a fantastic war film. One of the best in recent years for sure.

I loved that film, I just wish the end didn't go all Rambo. I've mentioned it before - the first two-thirds are so gritty and realistic, it smacks of silliness to then have the Germans all marching politely in a line towards the tank that's cutting them to pieces for ten minutes. Go around? Call in some artillery?

Still good though. Absolutely loved the scene where they're all bunked up with the German family, and then half the crew come in drunk. The tension in that was through the roof.

They filmed some of it just down the road from me. That was where they got in trouble for wearing German uniforms on Remembrance Sunday lol.

Black Hawk Down really portrayed some modicum of the chaos of that sort of combat (from the point of view of someone who would never be within cooee of any such situation).  More than any other war film I've scene.

Let down by portraying the Somalians as mindless animals.  And McGregor and Bana's ropey accents.

The thing I love most about that film is the fact Oliver Stone has said every character in it with the exception of Charlie Sheen was based on someone he encountered while serving there himself, which is equal parts fascinating and scary.

Don't get me wrong, was great watching all of them, but having not seen them in so many years, it was odd to see how they're hung together. The first one especially - it had all these weird music cues going on that were totally inappropriate for the scene...

But the stunts - you almost get stunt blind after a while - there was so much going on.

Gotta love the casting of Highlander, its all over the place but works so much. Clancy Brown will never be topped as The Kurgan.

You say that about the films but III actually comes up with a random reason to keep it going and actually leads into The Series so the only film out of "continuity" is II lol

Antonio Banderas as Ramierez

Awful.  Rodriguez took the 'grindhouse' aesthetic and made an entertaining film.  Tarantino took it too literally and made a crap movie.  It might've worked better in its original truncated double feature format, but the full length version - just, no.

From what I've gathered, Tarantino was more or less spoofing himself by making a deliberately bad film. Yeah, that didn't work.

Quote from: KiramidHead on Aug 08, 2018, 12:15:24 AMPulp Fiction is still his best, but I'd put Django and Inglourious right under it, then Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown, then Hateful 8, then the Kill Bills. I've studiously avoided Death Proof for 11 years.

My favourite Tarantino film has always been the one he didn't direct - True Romance.

I honestly find him kinda overrated. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not saying he's bad, but I haven't thought any of his recent movies have been the masterpieces a lot of people claim. Good, but not stellar, and often overly self-indulgent. They aren't a patch on his early work, which remains his best in my eyes.

I adore True Romance, Clarence and Alabama's romanticised relationship just ensnares me every time I watch it, nobody forget Gary Oldman either.

It's my most comfy film that turns me into a lovesick teenage girl all over again.

Yeah, the Sicilian scene might be my single favourite scene from any movie, ever.

I just love how many big actors show up for only one scene. It feels like that somehow lets them focus all their talent into those few minutes, and give an absolutely stellar performance as a result.

See I dug this film but the only thing that sort of pulled me out of it was the fact we had Julianne Moore instead of Jodie Foster. Nothing on Moore's acting chops but my brain just couldn't make the leap required to accept she was Clarice.

I saw Hannibal before I ever saw Silence of the lambs. So that helped. I found Moore's portrayal of Clarice to be stronger and much more confident than Foster's too, and so it made the cat-and-mouse aspect of the movie much more exciting for me. Interestingly, I just noticed for the first time, the theatrical poster for Gladiator hanging on the wall in one scene. Ridley got him an easter egg in there.

The Great Escape - on bluray

Jigsaw - on Bluray

Not the best story but not all that bad really. Tobin Bell was amazing, as usual. Mitch's character doing the double take after getting stabbed by the falling knife was oddly humorous, even if it was a miscue by the actor. His cliché moment of "you did it! You saved me!" right before the inevitable, had me in stitches. It was the biggest cheese moment I've seen since that god awful and cringe inducing "don't let us die for nothing" line in Independence day 2. The picture quality was fantastic though. Great looking bluray.

Fun comedy about a themepark that's about maximum fun and minimum safety. Set in the 70's (or 80's).
Screw the low ratings. People these days don't seem to appreciate slapstick violence and/or vulgarity like they used to.

It's really not that bad. Production values were pretty good, it just felt too much like transformers at sea. That and some of the acting was bad. But I personally liked it well enough. It's a cheap Blu-ray nowadays.

Farewell to the King

This is very nearly a great movie. Nolte is excellent, Milius directs it well, and the second half is very well done. Some of it doesn't quite gel, though, and that's probably down to Orion reediting the movie before release.

Not sure what to make of it, its a little lighter than Batman v Superman, I found aquaman and the flash funny. I enjoyed the part where superman was resurrected and he briefly faced off with the league, particulary the part where the Flash tries to flank him at super speed only to look horrified when Kal El's eyes track him and he turns to face him. Really creepy and it makes me think if there was some lost potential there.

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018)
Decent b-horror with nazi puppets, blood, gore and nudity.

Hereditary (2018)
Pretty good but imo there was something that didn't made sense in the end. Or maybe I didn't get it.

Enter The Wild (2018)
Listed on Imdb as a horror but it's a drama. A bad, boring drama.

Arizona (2018)
Danny McBride goes a little crazy.
Premise was interesting but I felt they held back. A crazier McBride and higher body count could've helped.

Summer Of '84 (2018)
From the people who made Turbo Kid. About a group of Stand By Me-like friends in a serious The Burbs type situation.
Really well made but very average movie. Everything was great but the story was too dull for my taste.
Best thing about this movie's probably the soundtrack. Some killer synth tunes.

Seen it before but watched it again, got a few of my favourite actors in it and its just a really entertaining film. I like how despite his reasons for learning the mystical arts and progressing greatly, he still doesn't accomplish what he wanted (the healing of his hands) but finds a new purpose instead.

I'm not really a fan of Trek but I genuinely love some of the (pre-reboot) films, with that being my favourite. I especially like how it does away with the future utopia stuff and instead presents people as more realistic shades of grey. Seeing Kirk being outright racist (xenist?) towards the Klingons was an especially nice touch; imperfect heroes are so much more interesting and believable (and it's not like he didn't have good reasons).

Road House

Definite contender for the manliest movie of all time - it's just 90 minutes of classic rock, bar fights and titties. Then Patrick Swayze tears a man's throat with his bare hands and suddenly cars are flying through the air on fire. Fantastic 80s cheese.

CHAPPiE

I'd been dying to see this again, not because I especially loved it first time, but because I really wanted to see if my opinion changed with a  second viewing. Sadly I think I liked it even less this time around. There are definitely some great elements - in particular, Sharlto Copley is bloody excellent in the titular role, and while his character's a bit over-the-top, Hugh Jackman makes for a great bad guy. But too much of the rest is either poorly executed or just an inferior rehash of stuff Blomkamp has done far better before - most obviously, the final battle with the MOOSE is simply a less exciting version of the amazing mech battle in District 9. A bit of a mess, and overall not an especially entertaining one.

I have yet to see it either. It's one of those movies where I know it's just too cheesy, and I just can't bear to tell people I watched road house. Maybe if they remake it and tone it down alittle bit. And change the name. I don't care if they call it "street building". Otherwise, once it's over I have to grow a mullet and blast freebird on cassette. The rules say so.

It's no more cheesy than many other 80s action classics. As Baron says, if you like 80s action flicks in general then it's sure to entertain.

Predictably cool story about a good cop who takes on an irredeemably bad gang of thieves, murderers and rapists. Interesting that there were consquences for the good guys beating ten shades of shit out of suspects. I've seen other Tamil movies where the police execute suspects and no one bats an eyelid.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)     6.5/10

It's probably my favourite of the Indiana Jones movies, it's certainly the funniest. It mainly stands out because of the dialogue between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, which at first there is plenty. Unfortunately later on the movie relies too much on the action side and it starts to drag a bit...though I do love some of the earlier action sequences(speedboat and motor cycle). I don't like the beginning with River Phoenix...   

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)    3/10

It probably has the best start to an Indiana Jones movie since Raiders of the Lost Ark, to be fair the whole first half is decent enough and I was just starting to think that maybe it wasn't as bad as I remembered. It's only when Karen Allen shows up that things go downhill fast, the second half of the movie is just corny with poor attempts at humour and lot's of ridiculous action. Most people seem to think that this is the worst movie in the series and I agree, a shame though because like I say it starts well.

Carry On Camping (1969)   3/10

While it can still be funny here and there, I spent more of the time rolling my eyes, it's terribly dated.

Spider-Man Homecoming
Still a great film. everything is firing and there's actually a lot of foreshadowing for Infinity War

This is the End
Lol so over the top its brilliant. McBride vs Franco should be a thing lol

Searching
An amazing film, brilliantly made. John Cho is a Storm

Semi Pro - Let's Get Sweaty Edition
Didnt realise there was an extended edition of this. lol fun stuff but you can understand why they were cut

MacGruber
Lol not as good as i remembered, but the appearances by WWE wrestlers was still brilliant.

Ride Along 2
Not as good as the first film, but Olivia Munn and Ice Cube bounce off each other well

They should make more movies like this. Just get the Rogen, Hill, Franco, McBride,... gang together in a fun situation.
Maybe something like an R-Rated version of Grown Ups of sorts.

Solo: A Star Wars Story
Boring and way too dark. Casting and acting are alright but worst Star Wars movie so far.

Slice
Bad and boring. Tried watching a few times but couldn't be bothered to finish it.

Mandy
Latest Nicholas Cage movie. Didn't really watch it. Skipped through the scenes and good thing I did. Seems like a weird and boring long drama with perhaps a tiny bit of horror.

The entire series is pretty good.
Part 4 is the weakest but still better than the average modern slasher (or horror in general).

Not a bad thing though, things have escalated in that universe and they have pretty much added "gods", aliens and wizards, so it doesn't surprise me.

Outland

Yes, that's a decent/good film, in appearance congruent with the Alien universe.
As well as "The Company" -notable for a large influence on the world, in that it caused the narrative.
This is a place that a ship similar to the Nostromo would obtain fuel, that's for sure.
(I recognised both Jerry Goldsmith and John Mollo in the credits.)
Perhaps Peter Hyams best work, if not original.
I still believe there's more thematic connection with Blade Runner, in addition to visuals.

As for the world:
Blade Runner = Earth in the time of the first colonies.
Outland = Colonies before wide-spread terraformers.
Alien Trilogy = Colonies after wide-spread terraformers.

Flora (2017)
"In 1929, an expedition of university botanists enter an uncharted forest where they discover something and must escape."
Really liked the idea behind this flick but that's about it. It wasn't worked out well and seemed more suitable for something like an X-Files episode.
Too bad. The Ruins showed you can make a decent horror movie about a similar subject matter.
The old timey angle was pretty cool though.

Fletch (1985)
Never saw this before. Nothing special but it's alright.

I really like Last Action Hero too, although I can't deny it's one of those films that somehow winds up being less than the sum of its parts. There are some absolutely superb characters and moments in it... All the references to other films, Stallone as the Terminator, the soundtrack, literally anything to do with Charles Dance, the cameos, the fact even the heartless villain finds the real world f**ked up... But as a complete movie it always seems to leave me a little disappointed.

That said - without doubt my favourite Charles Dance role ever. I love how every other character in the film is completely baffled by the fact they can slip between worlds, whereas he just immediately accepts it and starts working it to his advantage without question. He's essentially the only guy who really understands what's going on. He also gets two of my favourite movie lines ever, namely, "Hello? I just shot somebody, I did it on purpose!" and "No, Jack. I just left one chamber empty." So good.

Also... Is Death still just wandering around in the real world now, or what?

That soundtrack is awesome. It has one of my favourite B side Anthrax songs (Poison My Eyes) on there. I still remember how much I peaked in the cinema when I hear that song (during the video store scene). Lots of other great songs from some great bands on there too, Fishbone, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Queensryche.

Post by: Immortan Jonesy on Sep 28, 2018, 07:27:40 PM
Last night I saw an Argentine horror film called 'Terrified' ('Aterrados' in Spanish), and it was a solid and genuinely scary horror movie.



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

The Good

Scares: yeah, there are some jumpscares over there, but these jumpscares are not mediocre at all since when such moments are happening, you are not being scared just by the sound; but by a creative and well-made horror imagery, playing around. 

Tension: there is a real tension in the film crafted by both: the sound and the leads, cos you care for such characters.

Story: while the story isn't mind-blowing by any means, there is a well-made hybrid based on different supernatural/horror concepts. At first, the movie feels like your typical paranormal flick about haunted houses possessed by evil ghosts/demons with poltergeist and stuff like that; but actually, there is something going on about
Spoiler
alternate dimensions (ala Stranger Things) and vampire-like-beings, but they aren't your regular Hollywood bloodsuckers; but more like a mix between the Lovecraftian J-Horror film 'Marebito' and 2005's 'The Descent'.





[close]

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

The Bad

Out of place and unsolved concept: in general, I have no problems with mysteriousness and ambiguity in horror movies, since in this kind of films it is better to not explain the otherworldly stuff. However, there is a singular creepy element, which was handled as a plot device, but when such a plot is progressing, we find out that there is no direct relationship with the main mystery. Maybe I'm missing something, but I have the feeling that such a concept was included in the movie just for the sake of creepiness imagery (or cool imagery if you prefer) and nothing more.

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

Said that 'Terrified' is one of my favorite 2018's horror films, along with Hereditary, A Quiet Place, Annihilation (honorable mention to The Ritual, but only for the creature design). I still need to see Mandy though. So for me 4/5.

I really like Last Action Hero too, although I can't deny it's one of those films that somehow winds up being less than the sum of its parts. There are some absolutely superb characters and moments in it... All the references to other films, Stallone as the Terminator, the soundtrack, literally anything to do with Charles Dance, the cameos, the fact even the heartless villain finds the real world f**ked up... But as a complete movie it always seems to leave me a little disappointed.

That said - without doubt my favourite Charles Dance role ever. I love how every other character in the film is completely baffled by the fact they can slip between worlds, whereas he just immediately accepts it and starts working it to his advantage without question. He's essentially the only guy who really understands what's going on. He also gets two of my favourite movie lines ever, namely, "Hello? I just shot somebody, I did it on purpose!" and "No, Jack. I just left one chamber empty." So good.

Also... Is Death still just wandering around in the real world now, or what?

Don't forget "God! 180 you stupid spaghetti slurping cretin, 180! If I did a 360 I'd go completely around and end back where I started!!" "What?" "Trust me" bang  :laugh:

And of course "If god was a villain, he'd be me"  :laugh:

12 Strong with the really, really, really ridiculously good-looking Chris Hemsworth as the Captain of the first American Special Forces "on the ground" in Afghanistan after the Twin Towers attack. Based on a true story - they rode to battle on horseback which makes this the most modern of modern westerns. Hemsworth literally is the blue-eyed, square-jawed, clean-cut, family-man cavalry officer who will carry out his mission with a few good men at his back.

It was ...OK. I wouldn't watch it again, but its on Amazon Prime so why not.

Tomorrow After the War Began. Inferior Aussie Red-Dawn clone. It's based on a series of seven novels and that shows because this looks like the pilot for a teen adventure series. It's not terrible, but it's not great either... and the young cast weren't helped by some heavy handed dialogue.

It really is a fantastic film



Alien Nation (1988)
I'd never actually seen the original film before. I'd only watched the TV series. Its a great film and does some nice world building without it being utter exposition. Dont know how this was an 18 mind lol

Mile 22 (2018)
While filled with some great action, it did feel like the ending was cut, especially as it was only 90 minutes long. 30 more minutes could have rounded out the story, but turns out a trilogy was planned from the start

Warlock (1989)
Been wanting to watch this as well for ages. A lot of fun, especially when you consider that originally Richard E. Grant and Julian Sands were in the other roles before the swapped.

The Hurricane Heist for a just a fun before bed movie, wasn't bad for what it was but probably wouldn't watch again. and Big Legend because I love anything that has to do with bigfoot and bigfoot movies, patiently waiting for Primal Rage. Oh, and the Australian horror movie The Loved Ones, its amazing and also not the usual storyline, highly recommend it.

Eco drama that plays out like a made for tv movie. Concept is more suitable for a creature/horror flick.

The Ewok Adventure (1984)
Speaking of tv movies... Didn't know this is one until now.
It has a certain charm but that's about it. Wouldn't mind a reboot of sorts.

Battle: Los Angeles.  What a great ride this was; the characters were broad and familiar, but who cares about that stuff when you have a grunts-eye view of an alien invasion. Shaky cam can be annoying, but not in this instance, they were going for a documentary feel and for me, they nailed it.

I don't know why the movie got so much hate - it's only the second time I've watched it since it came out and I enjoyed it as much as I did first time round.

Give it another whirl. Look, its not a classic by any stretch of the imagination but I really liked the way it was shot. High concept with (I'm guessing) a decent budget largely shot hand-held. It was definitely style over substance (the marines were all archetypes like "inexperienced lieutenant" and "tough Hispanic chica" and "dude who's getting married" and so on) but as disposable fun its worth a look.

Aaron Eckhart does look faintly embarrassed in the special features, though.

It's like this, BattleShip and Independence Day are an infantry / naval / airborne trilogy  :D :D

Different strokes *lol* It was entirely predictable and the characters were, as I say, really generic. The director and producer seemed really caught up in "make it a documentary" - which I really liked. I mean, I wouldn't want ALL popcorn movies to be like that, but this was an interesting angle to take for me.

Currently going through the 1999 commentary to Alien (and will roll on to the 2003 - it'll be interesting to compare).

Lol, I can completely understand that - to be honest, the only reason I bought Prometheus and Alien: Covenant at all was for the documentaries and bonus short films on the Blu-rays. Otherwise I'm not sure I would've bothered.

Black Rain

I'm not gonna claim this is up there with Ridley Scott's masterpieces, but despite its flaws I really, really like this film. As you'd expect from Ridley, it looks gorgeous (can't help but notice the obvious tip of the hat to Blade Runner in the neon-drenched Osaka scenery). Michael Douglas and Ken Takakura are excellent as the leads; there's an amazingly emotional dialogue scene between them in the second half of the film, made all the more notable by the fact it's not about a subject you'd traditionally consider fodder for such a moving conversation (but to say more would ruin a great plot twist). Something else I really appreciate is how Douglas' character is basically a complete dick on paper, yet he somehow manages to translate the part into a sympathetic performance. It's both a refreshing change from the norm and a credit to his acting.

Oh yeah, the score by Hans Zimmer is also excellent. And as an added bonus, this being the 80s, he wrote the requisite power ballad for the film. I really miss the days when every movie had a bunch of awesome songs written specifically for it.

Now here is a movie that jumped the shark big time. This is a movie that should not be in this series, What you got here is the "Resurrection" and The "Predator" of the franchise.
There is so many stupid and silly scenes in this movie I am surprised that this isn't actually a parody.
I as I have recently said in another thread, lava will kill you even if you meters away from it, it is literally that hot. But Owen can survive being inches from it for a quite awhile without bursting into flame or exploding and a Baryonyx has it hit its head and it is completely fine!.

I did find some fun in this movie but it is probably the least scientifically accurate movie in the series.

Asylum Blackout ain't great but it's alright for a cheap horror flick.

Jurassic World 2.
Now here is a movie that jumped the shark big time. This is a movie that should not be in this series, What you got here is the "Resurrection" and The "Predator" of the franchise.
There is so many stupid and silly scenes in this movie I am surprised that this isn't actually a parody.
I as I have recently said in another thread, lava will kill you even if you meters away from it, it is literally that hot. But Owen can survive being inches from it for a quite awhile without bursting into flame or exploding and a Baryonyx has it hit its head and it is completely fine!.

I did find some fun in this movie but it is probably the least scientifically accurate movie in the series.

Stone cold classic

American Gangster - Theatrical Cut
A solid Ridley Scott film. Sure most of it is a huge dramatisation but Crowe and Washington own it. And bloody hell what a cast to back them up

Bad Times at the El Royale
A great film. A strong small ensemble and for a nearly 2 and a half hour long it flew by and kept me engrossed

Black Moon Rising
A film from the mind of John Carpenter as its advertised. He only co-wrote it and came up with the story, but some of his style comes through. Its a bit all over the place, but its a fun film and has a good cast

Black Hawk Down
A great Ridley Scott film. Great ensemble and a story well told. The amount of Brits in the cast too lol

Breakdown

One of those films I really like but probably wouldn't have heard of had I not stumbled across it on TV. Kurt Russell and his wife are driving across the US when their Jeep breaks down - the wife hitches a lift into town with a trucker only to disappear. Russell is excellent in the lead role, especially in the first half where he's playing a man struggling to comprehend what's going on. It does get a bit over-the-top at the very end but it's still a fun watch.

Caught First Man and Bad Times at the El Royale this weekend.

Both films have GREAT directing going on as well as some great performances.

First Man opens up great and ends even better. Unfortunately the 2nd act does slow down a bit too much for me and other than Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy, nobody else gets a ton to do. All of the supporting cast does good work but you don't get to really know the people. The movie is called First Man though so it is primarily about Neil Armstrong and you do get to know the guy. Claire Foy probably does the best in the movie because she's given much more of an emotional range to work with while Gosling is pretty much one-note the entire movie but he does it great. The visuals are top notch and the moon-landing scene is gorgeous.

Bad Time at the El Royale is not at all what I expected. It's essentially Goddard doing Tarantino but with much less profanity and violence (although it does get a bit bloody towards the end so don't worry). The cast is great but the stand outs are Jeff Bridges and Cynthia Erivo. The soundtrack works wonders for the film and the way he navigates each characters backstories is pretty neat. Jon Hamm and Chris Hemsworth were the two I was most excited about going in and I did feel they didn't shine as bright as I had hoped. Hemsworth has charisma and we all know that at this point but his character was predictable and Hamm starts off really great but I wish he had been in the movie more.

Overall I enjoyed both films quite a bit. This is my favorite time of year when we get some of these genre films and award contenders.

First Man 8/10
Bad Times at the El Royale 8.5/10

Gravity (2013)   

It looks fantastic but this has to be at the very least the most overrated movie of 2013, it's just mediocre. I haven't seen it in 3D but it doesn't matter how amazing the 3D is because that alone cannot make a film great. What about when the character Ryan tells the tragic story about what happened to her daughter, George Clooney's character says absolutely nothing to her lol...weird. I couldn't helping thinking as well that it would have been better if she had drowned at the very end...if nothing else it would have at least made the movie less forgettable.  5/10

Red Eye (2005)   

The middle section of this movie when they are on the plane is very good so it's a shame it doesn't last longer, the ending is a bit seen it all before/predictable. The performances of Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams are good and overall Red Eye is decent enough but not very memorable. 6.5/10

Overboard (1987)  

I probably last watched this when I was a kid. I was kinda digging the opening music by Alan Silvestri, giving off a little Flight of the Navigator vibe. Overall this movie hasn't aged well...a few laughs but nowhere near enough.  3/10

It's actually a remake of the made-for-TV movie L.A. Takedown. Mann did the TV version first because he couldn't get funding to do it as a feature film. Later, when he was a bigger name in Hollywood, he redid it for the big screen with Pacino and De Niro.

Thief's also a Michael Mann film (his first in fact), but it's a totally different story :)

I think the main actor's Mexican who barely speaks English because he sounded dubbed, the guns looked like they were made of plastic, the bad guy was the bad guy from Kindergarten Cop, Daniel Baldwin has a role too,...
Almost so bad it's good. Almost. But still ok.
Wouldn't mind a sequel if they can get a bigger budget.

Argentinian haunting/demon/ghost type movie.

Halloween (2018)

Just got out of this and what a great time at the movies! This movie is such a great follow up to the original. Easily the best of the sequels. David Gordon Green and Danny McBride honored the franchise in the best way. Michael Myers is a beast, they made him a straight up force of nature. Jamie Lee Curtis does some of her best work in this movie as well, Laurie Strode is awesome in this movie. The kills are brutal and the humor works great. There's a standout scene that showcases the humor so well involving a babysitter and the kid she babysits. It's definitely not perfect, there's a character in this movie who takes a turn out of nowhere that really bothered me. There are a couple of minor teenager characters that are not good at all and are definitely there to be the next kill. Other than that I had a blast watching this movie. 8/10.

After many years and having totally forgotten about the story - Sunshine. Well now - that was really good till the last act. I'll admit to not understanding what was going on. Well, I actually did understand in the final analysis and I was hoping I DIDN'T understand it. But ultimately, it was just a loony that had survived on the other ship. With blurry effects to make it seem like he might be something more than he was.

Danny Boyle does a lot of explaining as to what was actually going on in his commentary which is great. I have to say his commentary really was interesting and engaging. One of the things that he said made me laugh. Paraphrasing, he says the basis of all "hard" science fiction movies seem to be: A Ship. A Crew. A Signal.  :D :D :D

He also consistently acknowledges Kubrick, Scott and Tarkovsky as inspirations and indeed reference points (like the hanging toys in the Nostromo are evident on the Icarus II because that's how you show the ship is moving or under stress or whatever).

Sunshine has an amazing cast, amazing score, really great direction, brilliant effects... I just wish it had been different in the end. I don't know how different or what they could or should have done... I just felt the third act let the rest of the film down.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

A naff sequel to the original, but a pretty decent film in it's own right. It certainly doesn't have the first movie's charm, but it's a fun ride and Dwayne Johnson is always eminently watchable. Also Karen Gillan is absolutely gorgeous in this.

A fantastic film, really freaked me out, besides one or two pointless jumpscares for the sake of it. It fired on all cylinders

Did... did Busta seriously try to comment on the media at the end? I had forgotten all about that. What the f**k...

Halloween (2007)

Maybe it's because I double billed it with Resurrection, but this didn't seem so bad after years of not revisiting it. It's uneven with some misjudged moments (like the rape scene), but at least it didn't feature kung fu rappers.

Hacksaw Ridge

Whatever he may have said or done in real life, I really rate Mel Gibson. I think he's a brilliant actor and director and I'll always to thee opportunity to check out something he's in or at the helm of.

Second time watching this. The battle scenes are a little over-the-top at times, but there's no denying how visceral they are. Plenty of emotional scenes away from battle too. Overall, a fantastic film about a really incredible true story.

Ransom

I don't think I'd actually seen this all the way through before. It felt maybe a little rushed in places, and the pseudo-action movie finale felt a little out of place, but overall it was thoroughly engaging. The scene where
Spoiler
Gibson's character goes on live TV to announce the ransom payment is now a bounty on the kidnappers' heads was absolutely superb, and worth the price of admission alone.

I don't agree with Gibson's antics but he is only human, the problem with celebrities is that in the eye of the public, they are not allowed to make mistakes. When an everyman makes a mistake, it is a slap on a wrist, when a celebrity does, they are considered major a**holes and "fallen" 
Of course it does depend on the mistake in question in too.

The exception when it comes to speeding or other misdemeanors, then some of them get away with a slap on the wrist instead of jail time.

Indeed, there is a few movies I like that has been made by people who have done despicable things. Jeepers Creepers for example. You can't hate the movie/show for something a producer, director or actor has done. That said, I definitely can't stand those who commit crimes like that. Funny thing is now with the weinstein thing, a lot of movies we all probably liked has been produced by someone indecent. Hollywood is a sick place.

Then there is smallville, a tv show I used to love to watch years back. One of the main actresses in it was arrested for being involved in a cult and was on charges of sex trafficking, conspiracy to do so and forced labor conspiracy as well. I would still watch the show because the show itself is good but it would be hard to see chloe as just an innocent character again.

Foster was doing great on his own. But when they started with the typical young apocalyptic survivors fighting with knives and doing tiger poses and such, they lost me. If they had stayed with just Foster running around "dead space" style, with Quaid being his info man, it would've been a better film. Shame, a real lost opportunity with this one.

Bohemian Rhapsody

As a Queen nut I've been looking forward to this for a long time. In the end it felt a little disjointed as a story, but the cast were uniformly excellent and the music was, obviously, awesome. I think most of my issues stemmed from the fact Universal did an incredible feature-length documentary on the band a few years back, which I found to be both more interesting and more moving. But it was still a really enjoyable movie. My girlfriend loved it despite not even being a particularly huge Queen fan.

This was a One Off Halloween Cinema screening that was also part of the Carpenter Classics in 4K re-releases. It was great seeing it finally on the big screen. Its still very tense.

It's been an age since I last watched this. Whatever crap he may have turned out in recent years, there's really no denying Michael Bay hit this one out of the park. Definitely vies with Air Force One for the title of best Die Hard rip-off ever made. The entire cast is good, but special props go to Michael Biehn, for managing to make an impression with only a few minutes' screentime, Ed Harris, for playing the thing so damn straight no matter how OTT everything around him gets, and Sean Connery, for f*cking the prom queen. Hats off to Hans Zimmer and Nick Glennie-Smith too, for turning in a score far better than even this movie deserves.

Saw Bohemian Rhapsody last night and couldn't understand why so many critics hated it.

I'll say this, you can definitely tell the surviving members of Queen who were involved with this movie definitely didn't want to portray themselves in a negative light. They come out as pretty squeaky clean compared to how they portray Freddie Mercury. You know a band this popular in the 60s, 70s, and 80s were out being rock stars. Another negative is the streamline of all the events in the history of Queen. I know it's a movie and it's hard to get decades of history in a 2 hour movie so I won't knock it too much for that.

To the positives, Rami Malek is great as Mercury. The rest of the casting for the band is great also. The musical scenes are riveting and the final scene at Live Aid gave me chills. You forget how many hits Queen made and what a legacy they left behind. It's not an original biopic of course, they hit the beats of the usual musical biopics but it's the acting that really elevates this movie.

While not at the same level of greatness as "Mandy", "The Endless" shares some elements such as: drugs, a crazy pagan cult, and some kind of weird fantasy-scifi thing happening. Now, in relation to the paranormal mystery, there are some references to Lovecraft too. But overall, I thought the main core idea (or at least part of it) was kinda new, but I'm not entirely sure.

Did you watch Rec and Rec 2?
Quarantine is a remake of Rec. But Rec 2 is a different type of sequel than Quarantine 2.

Ive seen all the Rec series. I loved the way that grew, it expanded but didnt randomly reveal alot



Slaughterhouse Rulez
I really enjoyed this. Sure it was a bit slow in the start but that was needed to build the characters. It got the balance between Comedy and Horror right

I actually got around to watching the first Die Hard last night, but only part of it. It started at nine o'clock, Eastern, and was projected to end at midnight. The commercials were taking up a little too much time. I'm no night owl, so I found I was nodding off at around ten-ish. The movie's not boring in the slightest--in fact, I was loving it. I'll have to catch it at an earlier time, or just buy the disc.

Definitely buy the disc, I can't watch movies with commercials anymore, visiting America ruined it for me forever, you can't get into any sort of rhythm with a movie because every 5 minutes you're taken out of it with a commercial.

Die Hard is top tier and deserves your full attention  ;D

Been to the cinema twice today, for two very different war films.

They Shall Not Grow Old

The moment this switches from vintage black and white to the newly colourised and sharpened footage is just amazing. But perhaps the most incredible thing was the fact all the veterans who provide the voice over generally had a positive opinion of the war. That I really didn't expect. A fascinating insight into the day-to-day lives of the men who fought. Definitely recommend giving it a look.

Overlord

I've always wanted to see a Nazi undead supersoldier film done with a big budget, and this didn't disappoint. What surprised me most was how well-done some of the actual war stuff was; for instance, the opening D-Day drop is incredibly intense, to the point where I found it even held up alongside the similar sequence in Band of Brothers. There are some more darkly comedic touches once we get to the secret Nazi lab, but to the end it does a really good job of balancing the more outlandish elements with the serious stuff. Great fun.

I know the tone is probably wildly different, but how does it hold up to 10 Cloverfield Lane (the best of these Bad Robot mystery box films IMO)?

May already mentioned it but Overlord may be a rip-off of an unmade Frankenstein's Army reboot.
Check it out https://www.schokkendnieuws.nl/interviews/5200-coincidence

Fun fact (well not so fun): Years ago a trailer was made for Worst Case Scenario. The movie ended up in development hell because the studio didn't think there was an audience for nazi zombie stuff. Later on with a new similar project, the studio said there were already too similar movies.
Then Overlord got made.
The movie business is as dumb as it's weird.

Lane is a better film, but I found this to be far more fun. Make no mistake, Overlord is entirely predictable (the jump scares were all obviously signposted, and I called every single plot twist in advance, one before I'd even entered the cinema :laugh:) but I walked out with a much bigger grin on my face than I had after watching 10CL.

Quote from: KiramidHead on Nov 10, 2018, 01:53:27 AMWow, that's high praise, especially coming from you.

Don't get me wrong, as a complete product BoB is far superior. But in terms of simply delivering a combat sequence that gives you some idea of how awe-inspiring, chaotic and terrifying it must have been to be in the middle of something like that, the paradrop scene in Overlord is no less exhilarating. It probably helped that it was the loudest sequence I can ever recall seeing in a cinema - it was almost unbearable at times. At first I thought they'd cranked the volume up a tad too high, but when the rest of the film was more subdued I realised it was a conscious decision to have it that loud, because that's probably what it was really like.

It's a bit unfortunate that nothing else in the film quite lives up to the opening ten minutes. There's still plenty to enjoy, but they obviously put a lot of effort into the D-Day sequence and it stands out as the highlight.

Just attended a double feature of Best F(r)iends Volume 1 & 2.  I actually really enjoyed them, especially the second one.

Greg Sestero was in attendance and we got to have drinks with him afterward because a friend was running the screening.  He's a nice dude who's more than happy to tell weird stories about Tommy Wiseau.

Suspiria (2018)

Excellent stuff. Totally worth traveling a bit to see on a big screen. It's genuinely unsettling throughout, with some truly horrific imagery on display.

Overlord

Entertaining as hell war/horror film. It maybe could have done with a bit more of the latter, but still well done as it is.

Wow, this was a great film. Rami Malek had Freddie down. It was eerie. Sure there were historical inaccuracies but when you consider what they had to condense to fit the 2 hour runtime it didnt matter.

Overlord
A fantastic Horror/War movie. I do agree with the above that a bit more Horror would have been great, but otherwise this had that balance down and Wyatt Russell really came across as his dad in the Third Act.

Jeepers Creepers 3
Sure that a great film, but did well for the budget it had. It did have some good sequences mind. Someone just needs to take the franchise from him now

I couldn't believe how bad it was the first time I watched it, but now I can't help but like it. It's so bad, it's good. It's the ultimate cheese-fest. As for taking the franchise away, as much as I hate to say it, I'd rather Silva stayed in charge. He knows the creeper, he is a creeper, and it just wouldn't feel the same without him. Give him a bigger budget and let him do cathedral or something.

Wake In Fright (1971)
"A teacher in the outback of Australia leaves for the holidays but gets stuck in some outback town and starts to loose himself."
It's a tiny bit Lovecraftian as it's about a singular character ending up in a strange place and going (almost) completely mad.
Lot's of drinking almost the entire movie. And people getting offended when you refuse one. So it's easier to view this movie with a couple of cold ones, get a little in the mood of crazy drunk behaviour and enjoy a short stay in the 'yabba.

For those who've seen Overlord, how does it compare to Frankenstein's Army?

A family member recently had surgery, and wanted to see it. So I did what I needed to do. But God Almighty, if they think this script even deserved to be made, Hollywood is doomed. This makes Pacific Rim 2 look like a freakin' Spielberg film.

They just showed way too much, and early too. I personally would've liked to have seen it done as more of a survival horror set at the bottom of the sea, like The Abyss meets The Sphere, but with a giant shark. And the jerry rigging (make do) style of Alien. Stick to underwater structures, and small submersibles. More time with Toshi and The Wall would've been nice too. They were the only characters I dug.

It couldn't be helped though. Like I said in another post,

"It's just an aversion to simplicity. CGI, Spectacle, and inordinate amounts of Comedy are the modern blueprint..."

It's crazy, they'll spend 200mil on a soulless cgi fest that turns out to be boring as crap anyway, but you get this for like 50mil. To think like an adult, and to feel alittle something. To actually look back on a film as an experience, which this definitely was. A solid movie. 3/5

As much as I enjoyed Del Toro's take on Hellboy as a purist who has all the comics it was a bit too fantasy at times rather than pure horror. Hoping Marshall's take is more akin to the Mignolaverse.

As someone who is just now reading the comics for the first time, I'm seeing a lot of fantasy elements. I also think the first movie majorly improves on the source material in certain ways (the professor actually having a role, Rasputin and especially Kroenen being much better villains, etc.). Also, I think the reboot has already shot itself in the foot. Not only is starting a new series with The Wild Hunt counter intuitive, but there's no way they can really do that story justice in two hours or less.

Temple of Doom was like Back to the Future 2. A watchable movie, but overshadowed by vastly superior movies on either side of it.

Temple was always my favourite when I was a kid. I still love it, even if it's not as good as the first and third.

Black Hawk Down

Been meaning to rewatch this for a long time. It still stands up as probably the best depiction of modern warfare ever made. I noticed Tom Hardy this time lol. I'd forgotten Ewan Bremner was in it too! The cast is all pretty great, but Sam Shepard, William Fichtner and especially Eric Bana stand out the most.

Great film, but the book's even better.

Vastly different.  Very different story, style, and vibes.  Honestly, I love the original but find it a little slow.  I personally enjoyed this one more.  It had more of a wow factor for me.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Excellent sequel. "My body's a temple." "Well now it's an amusement park!" :laugh:

Hellboy III when? :(

As much as I enjoyed Del Toro's take on Hellboy as a purist who has all the comics it was a bit too fantasy at times rather than pure horror. Hoping Marshall's take is more akin to the Mignolaverse.

I'd be interested in a comics-accurate take on Hellboy for sure (though I would have loved to have seen Hellboy III happen first, to finish up GdT's trilogy before moving on and rebooting), but I very much doubt that Marshall's film will be that. Based on the leaked trailer, it just strikes me as a shoddy, bland remake of del Toro's first film. About the only decent thing associated with the entire mess is the casting of Harbour, who I think will likely do quite well with the role. Beyond that though? I have zero interest in the film.

Widows

Caught this yesterday morning and I walked out pretty satisfied. The trailers made had me hyped and I couldn't wait to see this cast in action, and the performances do not disappoint at all. One of my biggest issues with the movie and it's more of a personal one than something I think that is actually technically wrong with the movie is the lack of screen time for the main characters husbands. Now before you attack me for saying "Oh well the movie is called Widows, so of course they'd not be in it that long". I know. We get so little time with the characters and their significant others it's hard to feel the Widows' pain at the start. Liam Neeson and Viola get the most backstory and it works for the most part. Would have loved a separate film with Neeson and his crew (which includes a criminally wasted Jon Bernthal).

Anyways the core cast, our titular Widows, are all fantastic. Viola Davis and Elizabeth Debicki are standouts but Cynthia Erivo and Michelle Rodriguez both do great work as well. I would have like a bit more fleshing out with Erivo's character because she just kind of shows up and gets involved in the plan and it doesn't feel organic at all. She plays a great part though as part of the crew. As for supporting characters we got Daniel Kaluuya as an enforcer for his brother played by Brian Tyree Henry (from Atlanta) and Kaluuya does amazing stuff here with his psychotic character. I loved his scenes. We get some good stuff with Collin Farrell and Robert Duvall. A big problem is that a lot of the supporting cast doesn't get a ton to do and there are a couple of storylines that don't even wrap up by the time the credits roll which bugged me. Carrie Coon is part of the films twist and she's ultimately wasted as well and that storyline never goes anywhere. I would assume the movie has a ton on the cutting room floor that was cut to bring down the runtime because I can't imagine certain stories didn't have an ending ever scripted.

The heist that it leads up too is good but not as intense as I would have hoped. The planning stage is good but the heist itself didn't lead up to what the movie was building towards. I'd say this movie is elevated by it's performances for sure and if not for those this movie might not be as good. Definitely worth the watch though.

If they are all part of a shared universe, and in the style of Shin then I'm good with it. Although I'd love to see Shin Godzilla return someday, both in concert with other monsters, and in an actual sequel.

Currently re-watching Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition (about an hour or so each night). Still my favourite in the series simply because the character and world introductions are beautiful. I'm actually listening to the unabridged audiobook at the same time. I haven't read the book since highschool (1988!) but it's interesting comparing the beats of the film and book side by side.

How wonderful an actor is Ian Holm. Though I half expected him to ram a rolled magazine down Frodo's throat when he's denied holding his old ring in Rivendell  ;D

I must admit that despite adoring Jackson's adaptation I do hope one day we may get a completely faithful version on film (or TV).

Creed II

Michael B Jordan has once again proven that he's going to be someone we talk about for years to come. He's a start and does amazing work in this worthy follow up to a fantastic first film. I was initially worried since Ryan Coogler wasn't going to have much to do with this movie since he was busy with Black Panther but Steven Caple Jr. really made the movie his own. When I had first heard that the Dragos were coming back I was really worried that the movie would abandon the realism and tone from the first Creed and adopt a cheesy tone similar to the 80s flick Rocky 4. Boy was I wrong, Ivan Drago and his son Viktor is some of the best stuff in the movie. Stallone does great work too but you can definitely tell after this movie it has become the Creed franchise. There's a scene towards the end that couldn't be more telling of that. The camera pans out as Rocky watches Adonis Creed in the ring. Rocky is wearing the robe with Creed's name on it.

The movie does a great job of dealing with the characters trying to find their place as their lives move forward. It's about fathers and sons. Rocky, Adonis, Viktor, and Ivan all have to deal with redemption and revenge. The fights are brutal and exciting and the last fight does not disappoint. I found the score to be very well done as well.

If I had to point out some negatives I would say that I wanted a bit more between Rocky and Ivan but I think the movie makes a choice to have that relationship play out between Viktor and Adonis. The Drago's get a great final scene but I would have liked a bit more resolution between our core 4 characters.

Other than that I loved this movie and I truly hope we get another one of these flicks. I'm so interested to see where they take the next one based on where each character ends up in this movie. I could easily see it being the last one though.

9/10.

This documentary starts off interesting enough when you hear about Oasis in the early days and before they were famous, after that it felt a bit like it was repeating stuff I've heard before. I'm a fan of Oasis and this is worth a look but I don't think there is much here to really lift it above other documentaries about them that you've probably already seen on tv.  5.5/10

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013)

The BBC series had better writing and the situations Alan Partridge got into felt more real which in turn made it much funnier. This big screen version is crap and feels completely different, it's much more OTT and silly, there are only a few laughs.  3/10

The Predator (2018)
Not sure what to think of this. Wasn't bad but certainly not great either.
Best part are The Loonies.
Not the worst but most noticeable: the CGI blood and explosions, the slight change of Predator blood colour.
I get you can't blow stuff up for real like in the golden days but can't be that hard or expensive to get a load of corn syrup and red food dye.

Pacific Rim Uprising

Liked it more than the first one.  The first one seemed to take itself way too seriously for a movie about giant monsters fighting giant robots.  The sequel had some humour here and there to lighten the mood and wink at the audience.  Needed big Ronny P back though.

Same.
Find it hard to understand most people think part 1 is dumb fun but think part 2 is bad.

The cast is really what killed PR2 for me. The cast and the acting were just so bad. And the kids, the kids were terrible. It turned from adults in enormous mechs fighting monsters, into a power rangers movie. Really bad call there.

There were some interesting ideas though. The yeager/kaiju hybrids looked great, and their time on screen was probably my favorite part of the film. Not letting more Kaiju through the portals was kind of a bummer though.

Battle of Britain

Slightly ashamed to say I'd never seen this before.

I really like these oldschool war films with an absolute litany of stars in. They just don't really do it anymore. Special effects range from surprisingly good (building actual model aircraft to blow-up in flight) to kinda dodgy (the unconvincing "all of London is aflame" stuff). Still, an enjoyable movie with lots of explosions and a greatperformance from Laurence Olivier as the man taking the whole thing far more seriously than anyone else.

I liked that the Germans were actually all German actors, too. Not so common to see back in the day.

It's amazing to consider some of the aerial stuff was filmed by a dude with a camera hanging on a parachute harness under a helicopter.

Yeah, I dread to think how risky some of the stuff was back then. Watching the bigger aerial battles towards the end, it got me wondering how none of the pilots collided, there are so many planes cartwheeling about. Nowadays you'd more likely than not just do it all in a computer and save yourself the risk assessment (although I doubt they existed in 1969).

I'm by no means a hater of CGI, but watching the film really got me thinking about how much I appreciate and miss old-fashioned practical effects. Good or bad, they always seem to have a certain charm that I just don't get with digital, and they generally strike me as being more impressive because someone had to actually make them with their hands.

Check out The Blue Max (1966) if you want another great war film. It has some of the most impressive aerial combat I've seen in any film.

Watched it before and its just a meh movie, some good parts and some bad parts. I can agree with the SW fans that they messed a few things up though. Snoke was built up and discarded without learning anything about him, on one hand that does subvert expectations but I think since folks genuinely wanted to know who and what he was, they felt let down.

1941

Considering the talent for comedy Spielberg has shown in many of his films, it's amazing how unfunny this is. There were two - count them, two - moments in the whole thing that actually made me laugh; the rest just made me groan. Still, it's worth slogging through at least once for the final twenty minutes, which is basically an episode of Thunderbirds except they had $10 million to spend on the model shots. It's unbelievably impressive.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

WOW! One of the most original and visually stunning superhero flicks I've ever seen. The animation is WONDERFUL. It's literally a comic book come to life and it works so perfectly. It's hilarious and surprisingly emotional. All of the characters work so well and the voice work is top of the line. Every iteration of Spider-Man works so well, especially Spider-Ham and Spider-Man Noir. Miles Morales is a great lead and his arc throughout the movie is some of the best stuff.

I can't recommend this movie enough. All of the buzz for this movie is true. SEE IT!

Loved this. The G1 designs worked so well and the story had more heart than Transformers 2-5 combined, with extra. The best movie since the first. It just had everything you needed

Creed 2
Enjoyable sequel. Flew by. The only thing that annoyed me were dickheads talking in the cinema. I mean seriously

A fantastic Del Toro film. Hadnt watched it in ages

Not as bad as the critics make out to be, there is plenty of entertainment to be found, a good popcorn movie but no masterpiece. The highlights are definitely Hardy's performance and the Brock and venom banter.

Finished watching Full Metal Jacket (1987).
R. Lee Ermey performance is golden. Surprised he didn't got offered more parts.
Read once he made an audition tape consisting of him swearing and insulting for almost an hour, leading to him getting the role.
And why aren't there more Vietnam movies? Is it because there are still plenty survivors and/or because the USA lost?

Pretty much. He was originally hired as an advisor only, as Kubrick didn't think he was vicious enough for the part of the drill instructor. Ermy responded by recording a fifteen-or-so minute tape of him screaming insults at the camera while people pelted him with tennis balls, never once repeating himself or slipping up. Kubrick saw it and gave him the role on the spot.

There are plenty out there, although I haven't noticed any being made for some time now. Other than the holy trinity of 'Nam movies (Platoon, Apocalypse Now and FMJ) I'd recommend Hamburger Hill, We Were Soldiers, Casualties of War and of course The Deer Hunter. There's also Jacob's Ladder, although that's more of a psychological horror with the war as a backdrop.

One more that's worth looking at is The Killing Fields, which is more about the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia than Vietnam, but it's absolutely excellent.

The Mummy (the new one)

Finally got around to  watching this. It pretty much typified all these modern remakes that are completely devoid of any charm or character and wind up being utterly forgettable as a result. Yawn.

Mission Impossible: Fallout. It was - as with all these movies - brilliant fun. I can't even say that they're dumb, they really think about foreshadowing / payoff and all that stuff. The stunts are incredible and there was a really neat callback to one of the earlier movies. I really enjoyed it.

Also - Uncommon Valour is a brilliant (post)'Nam movie. Bat 21. Platoon Leader. The Siege of Firebase Gloria.. and the ace TV show Tour of Duty. (And of course Rambo: First Blood Part 2).

You can't beat CCR. Interestingly enough, my father was approached by a Veteran many years ago at a gas station. He wanted to ask about the bike my old man was riding. As the conversation started to near its end, the subject of the man's service in Vietnam came up. Long story short, the guy told him and I quote, "I've heard other guys say it and it's fu**in' true man, I'm tellin' you what, I never would've made it through that sh*t without Creedence".

That's a good question. I honestly don't know and now my mind is burning with ideas for a Vietnam story (damn you, I've got two projects on the go at the moment and I don't have time!)

I think you might have a hit a zietgiest! As has been pointed out, there's so much mileage in the imagery and music and all that stuff...

Then again, for American companies and audiences... is it like making a film about the Troubles in Northern Ireland... is it still a sensitive issue in that regard?

Pretty sure it's because the USA lost, they were sorta the bad guys and there are still survivors and close family of survivors.

Yes, plenty of stuff to it. Tour Of Duty touched a lot of subjects. They did it well and with a lot of heart. Too bad it wasn't R-Rated.
A while ago I read HBO secured the rights to a book on Vietnam https://www.imdb.com/news/ni58037929 but I haven't heard anything since.
If they took a Band Of Brothers/The Pacific approach it would certainly be another hit.

Bumblebee

I am so happy to report that the rumors are true. This is the best Transformers movie. Now, I'll admit something.. I actually really like the first Transformers film as well as Dark of the Moon. The rest I can watch in the background but I do HATE The Last Knight. I walked out of that movie physically and mentally drained. I had been yelling to the clouds that this franchise needed to get rid of Michael Bay because he does not care for this franchise, and since the movies kept making money they got progressively worse.

Thankfully we got Travis Knight to come in and breathe some life in from a good script by Christina Hodgson. The movie does the "boy and his dog" plot and knocks it out of the park. Steinfield's relationship with Bumblebee is so sweet and heartwarming that when the other is in danger you really feel the the other cares for their safety.

The movie benefits from having way less central characters at the forefront. It opens with a pretty significant battle between Autobots and Decepticons and the G1 Designs work so well. The majority of the movie focuses on Bumblebee and there is 1 minor villain and 2 major villains. There is also less action than any other Transformers movie and I think it works well because it does what the other films could never do and that's breathe some life into the human characters. The action that is in the movie is great because Knight uses wide shots rather than Bay's shakey cam footage that made it near impossible to tell what was going on.

The movie serves as a soft-reboot as well and I won't say how but it makes me very excited for what they'll do going forward. The movie primarily focuses on Bumblebee but it does plant seeds for the franchise going forward. See this movie people, let's show Paramount and Hasbro that this is what we want.

As for negatives.. John Cena doesn't work 100%. His acting has definitely got better but it seems like his character was actually from an 80's movie. John Ortiz plays a scientist in this movie that who is just ridiculous. The humor with his character did not work at all. I'd also say most of the humour that doesn't come from Bumblebee and Hailee Stienfield ends up not working. Some of the dialogue is a bit cheesy as well and there are some generic bully characters that could have been removed from the movie entirely.


8/10.

The Two Towers (Extended Edition). This film always felt like the `bit in between' when I originally saw it and even on the extended edition as well. Having now watched it for the first time in probably a decade I can appreciate it far more - that battle of Helms Deep is still wonderfully shot and orchestrated. Now onto ROTK EE.

First 40 mins of Bird Box. Hmmm. Parts of it feels like a cheap made for TV movie but Bullock is in fine form. Still not sure where this one is gonna go for me.

The Predator....what can I say that hasn't already been said? Fugitive escape part is good, everything else not so much.

The first parts of the film before the escape isn't too bad but could have been better paced and set up. Don't like the worm hole part though as it shows too much of what predator tech can do and more importantly its probably something that can't happen no matter how technologically advanced we get, thus its more like magic than science.

Mid90s (2018)
Coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Jonah Hill. Bit similar to a light version of Kids but not as good and not as gripping.
Btw, Hill deserves a slap for releasing his movie in small screen and with shitty colouring. Yeah, we get it, it's set in that era but it was totally unnecessary and annoying.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and The Missing Pieces

An interesting watch, and it was great getting to know Laura and Leland a bit better. Some of the added stuff gave me some very different impressions of the shows characters, especially Donna. And f**k, this had some of the creepiest shit in it so far. Like, the f**k was that face near the end? :o

As for the missing pieces, some of the deleted Bobby stuff would have been better off in the actual movie, and the nice and normal dinner scene with the Palmers would have worked great in contrast with the craziness we know is coming. Other stuff... I can see why things like the Twin Peaks police and the lumber mill scene were cut, and I can really see why they cut that goofy fist fight Desmond has with the sheriff. :laugh:

3rd time. My cousin wanted to watch it, so we did. He liked some of the humor, but felt it was a really weak film overall. The film didn't improve for me with this viewing. I'm going to try one more time, probably next week. If it doesn't improve at all, I won't be watching it again for a long, long time. It's just so slow, and the locations are so boring. McKenna's house and the farm, the neighborhood etc, it just drags on forever. The only location in the film that I find even remotely interesting is the forest they all flee into. What a stinker.

Whiplash

Jonah, leave Reed Richards alone. Fant4stic wasn't his fault.

Whiplash! Wonderful, wonderful movie. One of my favorite movies of all time. So tense! Amazing that a movie surrounding jazz musicians is so tense!

Am I making sense? I don't know. I'm drinking gin.

Yeah, that's easily one of my favourite films of the last few years. And that's despite destructive professional obsession being quite a heavily tapped subject (Black Swan and The Wrestler being some other examples). What puts Whiplash above and beyond is the intensity generated by the frantic drumming and JK Simmons.

The "because we f*ck c*ck c*ck?" line was his favorite. Keegan wasn't too bad, it's just that most of his jokes are really old. It just didn't feel effective. I'd also like to know what he was actually saying when they overdubbed the "go, I got this line". His lips are definitely not matching the audio there.

Enjoyable but jumped around a lot and the plot was rather convoluted at times.

Spiderman; Into the Spiderverse
Absolutely stunning visually (best animation I have ever seen and this is coming from someone who adores original Jungle Book Disney era animation as the pinnacle). The film lives up to the hype and praise its rightly been getting. Absolutely brilliant. One of the very best comic book movies ever made.

Ending doesn't pack much of a punch but still a proper sci-fi movie.
And ScarJo is always a treat to look at.

For me it's THE Christmas movie (not Die Hard, not Love Actually). Like you too I must admit it's starting to show it's age though but there is a charm to it that is pure Amblin 80s except with a dark, black humorous twist.

This was a lot better on a second watch, but I still think the script is bit sloppily put together. You could cut the fifteen minutes dedicated to the fat guy's mother paying protection money and the movie wouldn't suffer for it.

Also, I tend to wonder if Edward Woodward ever killed a guy with a power drill in the TV show. :laugh:

Everybody I spoke to back then was thinking it was a new Godzilla movie, I was so excited. I still love the film it turned out to be though.

Excellent heavy metal horror comedy.
Second viewing since its release. The wow effect is gone but the movie is still great.
Highly recommend it to anyone who can appreciate heavy metal and/or funny, bloody horror.

Serial Mom (1994)
Underrated dark comedy.
Bit sad to see how Kathleen Turner looked compared to now. Especially if you look at the guy who plays her husband. He look basically the same now just older.

Trollhunter was OK, but as is usually the case I hated the found footage style. I definitely would've enjoyed it a hell of a lot more if it had just been a regularly-shot film. Same goes for Chronicle. Europa Report I only watched for Sharlto Copley. Found it so forgettable I can't remember a thing that happened, and it was only a few months ago that I watched it.

Otherwise the only one of those I've seen is Hardcore Henry, which I loved, but I'd debate whether it technically constitutes found footage.

Like I said, for me it's about the subject matter.
Frankenstein's Army for example, doesn't have a great story but it's fun to watch, if only for the creatures.
C'est arrivé près de chez vous (aka Man Bites Dog) is about a tv crew following a thieving murderer (or is it murdering thief?).
Some call this movie shocking. Others funny. I'd go with entertaining.
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. A student crew is going to document an upcoming slasher icon.
This one's fun but probably more interesting if you like horror and/or slasher movies.

Europa Report I only watched for Sharlto Copley. Found it so forgettable I can't remember a thing that happened, and it was only a few months ago that I watched it.

Now, I thought it was brilliant - I'd love to see it again, actually. I really really enjoyed that one.

Same. I like documentaries in general. And since most of this world is already discovered and other worlds are still out of reach, I can appreciate the fake ones.

Conan The Destroyer
This is still a fun Fantasy film. Sure its a massive change in direction after Barbarian, but its such a shame we never got King Conan.

Mission Impossible: Fallout - Bluray

Almost finished with it. Not as good as the others, which is a shame because they were on such a roll. It feels like it's trying too hard to be Spectre and mission impossible at the same time. Cavill has been horrifically underused here. His character and dialogue have been a letdown.

Venom - Bluray

My 3rd viewing. Was still very enjoyable. 3 times is enough though, time to put it away.

What Happened to Monday. Watched it on a flight from Hong Kong to Australia whilst sipping on some red wine.

It's a fairly decent dystopian thriller. Pretty emotionally intense at times. Noomi Rapace did a great job at playing these unique septuplet sisters.

300. Still great visually after all this time and many copycats. Still a great epic and unique movie.

People sometimes give it a bad name for beeing glorifying propaganda for the greeks and demonising the persians but that's what it's supposed to be. It's not a history lesson but propaganda that Dilios tells his fellow greeks to get them amped up for the battle ahead.

I honestly didn't think much to the sequel - apart from the soundtrack by Junkie XL, which was ace. Overall though it just felt like it was redundant and lacking that special something that made the first so good.

It was definitly a fun romp but something was missing this time.

I thought it was hilarious that they made a point that the Athenians are regular citizens instead of trained soldiers while every one beeing as buff or even more so than the Spartans in the first one. Than you see Spartans at the end of RoaE and they are even bigger now  :D

Well they were mostly at sea, and I thought Eva Green was terrific as Artemisia. Sure, the actor who played Themistocles was no Gerald Butler, but nor should he have been in my eyes. Strictly through the prism of the film, many of the Athenians were potters, blacksmiths, carpenters etc. and were not bred to be warriors like the Spartans.

Plus, I never watched a sequel that took place before, during, and after the first film.  It's quite a companion piece to 300 in my eyes.

Black Swan (2010) 

Natalie Portman is great but I feel like her performance and the music elevate what is fairly mediocre material. Black Swan starts out alright but I had lost interest before the end, much of the dialogue felt like quick exchanges just to move the plot forward. I was expecting something with a bit more substance...to be fair though I have no interest in ballet so anyone who does will likely enjoy it more. 5/10

Stand by Me  (1986)     

I'm sure a lot of us can relate to Stand By Me in someway, I've always thought it was a good film but not as great as some people make out. One bit I don't like is when it goes back in time and shows Gordie and his older brother at the dinner table, this scene kinda felt emotionally manipulative and unrealistic. Also how is it possible to get so many leeches on you in the water with all your clothes on. Good performances, particularly Corey Feldman. 6.5/10

The Jewel of the Nile  (1985)   

When I rewatched Romancing the Stone a few years ago I found it to be pretty average overall but it was at least good for the first 45 minutes or so, I could barely remember this sequel and now I know why. The first 15 minutes are alright but after that it's just one long boring slog to the end with just a couple of funny moments to break the tedium, even the action is crap. I know these movies get compared to Indiana Jones but this completely rips it off... 3/10

Good film for its franchise but despite the realism it tries to bring back, Michael, who is in his sixties still has abnormal strength, though he is more human in this movie with permanent scars carried over from the first film and he has visibly aged. It sort of blurs the lines a little.

And cocaine. If you know enough you can notice how strung out Aykroyd and Belushi are. Adds an extra dimension to te movie. There's an article that mentions how it was taken into account with the budget or something like that.

Eh, Salvation at least tried to move us in a logical direction (the future war). I've grown to love it for the darker/nastier Terminator film that it is. But yes, I wholeheartedly agree T3 and Genisys are lost causes entirely. The franchise dropped completely away like the sea floor starting with T3. The quality difference is just appalling.

They shouldn't taint any memories, but might provide you with some good laughs. You might give salvation a spin someday though. At least it had the nuts to be a more serious terminator film. The fight with the T-800 was great too. And it's an amazing looking bluray, for what that's worth.

There's part of an interesting movie in Salvation. Marcus' story could have made for a good movie, but it has to share the film with the ungodly boring scenes of John Connor doing nothing of interest.

It would for me. When I think of Terminator I think of two great R-Rated movies and I'd like to keep it that way.
It's also why I haven't seen the Total Recall or Robocop remake.

I think I might be more picky than you.
And instead of watching certain sequels and remakes, I watch something weird I otherwise wouldn't watch. Or something old I haven't seen before. So I still see something "new".

Those were perfectly competent films, I just found them utterly generic and forgettable - which is criminal given how memorable the originals were. Total Recall in particular seemed like they actively removed all the special elements that really elevated the first one.

Death Wish (the Bruce Willis one). As commented above re Robocop and Total Recall reamakes....

There's nothing wrong with this movie - its violent enough, pacy enough... nothing wrong with it, but its never gonna replace the Bronson original.

I enjoyed it and Eli Roth did throw in some satisfying deaths (the bloke going over the stairs' landing is pretty memorable).

Furious 7 (2015)

I haven't really been keeping up with the Fast and the Furious films since Fast Five, but I felt the need to see this now that Hobbs & Shaw is filming, as I do love me some Statham and Dwayne Johnson. It's solid fun and James Wan knows how to craft an entertaining film. I love the opening shot with Statham at the hospital, but felt that the film never really delivered on his character after that. Either way, not too shabby.

They still haven't managed to top (or even equal) Fast Five for me, but I do enjoy the Fast & Furious series for what it is. They might be the best modern-day equivalent I can think of for the ridiculous movies Arnie, Stallone and co. used to make in the 80s - just turn off you brain and enjoy some mad action spectacle.

I've also never really forgiven them for casting Statham as a villain, and not Frank from the Transporter series for an awesome crossover :P

Yeah, I really liked Fate of the Furious but honestly looking back the highlights of that movie are The Rock, Statham, and Kurt Russell. They all get the best scenes and lines.

Vin Diesel is obviously making Dom this "badass", and while Fate does do a good job of finally letting someone get the upper hand with him but of course he has to come out as the top honcho. You could kind of feel Paul Walker's absence because he kind of grounded these insane movies. I'm more excited for Hobbs and Shaw for that dynamic because I like those characters more than anyone in Dom's crew currently.

The Fate of the Furious (2017)

I had a lot of fun with this one and would definitely consider it a step up from the previous film. Dom works well as the antagonist and I love the banter and bonding between Hobbs and Shaw. A neat little cameo by Helen Mirren and even Owen Shaw getting the chance to redeem himself. Though I must admit it feels a bit weird seeing the guy who killed Han doing an action scene while talking all cute to a baby.

Definitely looking forward to Hobbs & Shaw after seeing this.

They can easily say Fate takes place a few years later but Furious 7 definitely takes place immediately after Tokyo Drift.

It's best to not think about these things..

The Fate of the Furious (2017)

I had a lot of fun with this one and would definitely consider it a step up from the previous film. Dom works well as the antagonist and I love the banter and bonding between Hobbs and Shaw. A neat little cameo by Helen Mirren and even Owen Shaw getting the chance to redeem himself. Though I must admit it feels a bit weird seeing the guy who killed Han doing an action scene while talking all cute to a baby.

Definitely looking forward to Hobbs & Shaw after seeing this.

You could tell they definitely had the idea to spin off the Hobbs character after 6 or 7, because it's been reported to hell about the feud between The Rock and Vin Diesel during the filming in this movie. If you watch not even that closely you can tell they are never in the same scene together. They saw what a waste it'd be to kill off Statham so they try and make his character more heroic even though he killed Han brutally. You just can't think about that much with these movies  :laugh:

Let's not forget how Lucas Black played a very convincing teenager in his Furious Seven cameo. ;D

As for Statham, I'm willing to forget about Han if it means more Deckard Shaw in these films. Sorry, Han o'l buddy.

Only started watching from part 5. That's when it became about heists and stuff instead of racing, something I really not care about.
After the last one I'm bored with it. Same old stuff over and over again. Kinda wished Statham killed off Diesel and ended the franchise  ;D
The spin-off could be good but it's still pg-13. And how awesome would an R-Rated movie with The Rock and Statham be?!

Ah, I think these movies are fine as PG-13. It's more about the big action set pieces then the one-on-one action and brutal kills. You can only see so many splatters from someone getting hit by a car or shot in the chest before it gets old.

I remember reports of his character joining the team in the movies going forward.. guess that never went anywhere  :laugh:

Yeah this franchise really doesn't do well when it comes to honoring characters who have died. Nobody mentions Gisele (Gal Gadot), nobody even mentioned Han in the eighth movie I think? It seemed the Rock was more mad about the fact that he was thrown out of a window because of Statham's grenade.

Plus let's not forget about their hacker buddy in the very first movie that was shot to death and never discussed again  :laugh:

Both extended editions. Whilst not as polished and rounded as the LOTR films I still find these enjoyable though still find it funny Orlando Bloom is in it ... it's probably the only non-canonical nod to LOTR in the series that's a bit too much on the nose (and there are several nods to those films to obviously help tie into for the general going audience and those not familiar with the book).

Take a second to compare either film to the vast majority of action movies being churned out today, and you'll see just how brilliant they really are.

3000 Miles to Graceland

I put this in the same box as Deep Rising - it's a film no one's ever heard of, it was critically panned on release, and it happens to be one of my all-time favourites. Kurt Rusell, Kevin Costner and their crew of ne'er-do-wells all dress up as Elvis Presley to rob a Vegas casino during an Elvis convention. If memory serves, this came out about the same time as Oceans 11, and whereas in that film the robbers use guile and cunning to pull off the heist without harming a single soul, here they just f*cking shoot the shit out of the place - even the midget Elvis catches a stray bullet.

I can't express how much I love Russell and Costner in this. They clearly both understand the tone the movie was going for and just have a ball with it. Russell throws in just enough Elvis impersonations at opportune moments that the gag doesn't get old (he actually played Elvis in a TV movie back in the day, and also voiced the King in Forest Gump, so his mannerisms are pretty spot on). Did I mention that his character is revealed to be the illegitimate child of Elvis at the end of the film?

The action's class and the characters, right down to the minor supporting ones only on screen for a few moments, are all great. The soundtrack's pretty ace too, with a host of perfectly-chosen songs used to style-up the sequences.

Finally, it ends with Kurt Russell doing a mimed performance of Elvis' "Such a Night" while the rest of the cast dance around waving guns. It's wonderfully mad.

Die Hard 2 was also the first film I saw where someone gets thrown through a jet engine, so kudos for that. And as if that wasn't enough, to this day it has the best plane explosions.

As for Temple, that was long-censored here in the UK, with all the grizzlier bits of the sacrifice scene cut out. I ended up buying an Aussie copy after hearing it had been trimmed, and was proper f*cking shocked when I saw the uncut version :laugh:

Camelot (1967)

Yeesh, Lerner and Loewe were very unsuited for this material. It's especially obvious when Guinevere is about to be burned at the stake and jaunty, upbeat music is playing. :laugh: Also, congratulations for somehow getting Franco Nero to give a bad performance.



Excalibur

Much better. None of the edges are sanded off, so incest and bloodshed abound. Hard to believe this is more or less the same creative team that gave us Exorcist II and Zardoz. :laugh:



Big Game (2014)

The moral of this story: don't make a dumb action/spectacle film if you can't afford action or spectacle. And if you're going to blow a chunk of your low budget on Sam Jackson, make the film R rated and let him say motherf**ker without censoring it with a gunshot. >:(

It's just when you sit down and think about it, you could easily pick this film apart. Too many little plot holes, that eventually add up and collapse the film under its own wait. I did however really like Lewis Pullman's (Bill Pullman's son) performance.

I really liked this one, one of my favorites of 2018 for sure. I had no idea that was Pullman's son, almost figured he was related to Tom Holland instead, but he gave an excellent performance. Cynthia Erivo was also great, probably the best one in the film.

Quite honestly it felt like Mediocre Times at the El Royale. Great cast, and everyone played their part respectively. It's just when you sit down and think about it, you could easily pick this film apart. Too many little plot holes, that eventually add up and collapse the film under its own wait. I did however really like Lewis Pullman's (Bill Pullman's son) performance.

I really liked this one, one of my favorites of 2018 for sure. I had no idea that was Pullman's son, almost figured he was related to Tom Holland instead, but he gave an excellent performance. Cynthia Erivo was also great, probably the best one in the film.

Van Damme and (a little bit of) Lundgren Actioner "Black Water".

It's Die Hard on a submarine, but that's ok. The stand out performance was from reality TV star (and serial sex tape releaser) Jasmine Waltz. She was really good - colour me impressed.

I really liked Black Water. Van Damme and Dolph team ups are a lot of fun.

Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2009)

"Something so familiar, I can't explain it."

I've always really enjoyed this. For a DTV film, it's production value is pretty high. And it's very serviceable to fans of the original Universal Soldier. With bringing back both Van Damme and Lundgren. The fights are both bloody and brutal. The highlight for me as the well choreographed tracking shot of Deveraux going through the hallways taking terrorists out left and right. Good stuff.

I love the first two acts, and I love the last act, I just feel like they're from different films - most of this is a super-gritty, realistic war movie, and then it kinda goes a bit Rambo at the end. I still really enjoy it, but I wish the finale had been a bit more tonally consistent.

I can see that. The first few moments where they realize what's coming is really tense though. The fear is just palpable. Had they fled into the hills and had to travel behind enemy lines, through the woods and darting across roads, clearing and sleeping in abandoned houses, evading patrols, before finally getting caught and fighting to the death, I think it would've been a better third act.

Like I said, I still enjoy the hell out of it. It's just that after the gritty, brutal realism of the first two acts, seeing the German's brainlessly marching towards an immobile tank and getting slaughtered for their trouble - when it's not their objective and they could just, you know, go around - strikes me as a bit silly.

Pistol Whipped (2008)

Sometimes I wonder why I watch some of the shit that I do. Take this for example, it's Steven Seagal playing Steven Seagal (big surprise) who takes contracts from Lance Heriksen to kill people. It sounds good on paper. And maybe it would have worked say, 20 years ago when both actors were at their prime, and Seagal was still considered sexy. But now? It's f**king hilarious. The editing it pretty vomit educing and the action, if you can call it that, is hilariously bad. I may have to wash the bad taste of this movie outta my mouth later with Damien Chazelle's First Man.

London Has Fallen

Sure it's completely daft and the most propagandised pro-America movie since... well, the first one, but credit where credit's due - the set piece near the end where Gerard Butler and a bunch of SAS advance up a terrorist-held London street in one continuous take is the best action sequence I've seen for quite a while. Could do with the CGI being a bit less shitty though.

Looking forward to the third one.

About the trials and tribulations of Neil Armstrong and NASA during the 60s, to get a rocket to go to the moon. Very good performances all around. If you look close enough there's a certain type of film grain in this movie, to give it the allusion that it was shot in the 60s. That was pretty clever.

What the actual f**k? What were they thinking? How did they... I mean... why.

Do I need to watch it again - like, are there redeeming factors that I''m missing... I wanted it to be great. Like "Predators" great (I don't care what anyone thinks, its the second best Predator-only movie for me). But it's not even close.

Tell me I'm wrong. I guess now I've seen it, I can go to the relevant thread ...

Everest  (2015)   

This movie takes a long time to get going but there is still a lack of character development. Good performances from Jason Clarke and Josh Brolin and there are a couple of sad moments if you don't know the true story. Everest is worth seeing but nothing special, I'd rather watch a documentary about the events.  6/10

Haunting Sarah (2005)

This one was made for tv and it showed. The Sarah of the title is played by a young actress and her acting is terrible, a big problem considering the film centres around her. In general it was mostly boring and predictable.  3/10

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) 

Well it's funny, funny enough but not great.  6/10

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me  (1999)   

I definitely prefer this sequel, Heather Graham is funnier than Liz Hurley's character who was a more serious type. In general I thought it had more proper lol moments, the shit drinking is a highlight.  7/10

Rogue One

I remembered loving this in the cinema, but I didn't seem to enjoy it as much this time around. It's still easily the best Star Wars film since Jedi, but the really lazy new designs seriously bugged me. Say what you will about the prequels, Lucas had a fantastic eye for production design.

I remember Hot Shots 2. Watched it a couple of times as a teenager.

The only thing that worries me about Rambo 4 is that if the disc is the extended cut then there was some slight footage and gore removal from what I've heard. Hopefully that's not the case, because I love Rambo 4 and I'm really looking forward to finally seeing it in high-def, without any kind of censorship.

But yeah, I agree that damage should stay realistic. I believe on the BTS features for SHOOTER that someone mentioned they couldn't accurately recreate the bullet impact for the assassination scene because even from that distance, the bullet drop would cause it to land on top of his head and the sheer force of the impact would still be immense enough to basically obliterate the guy down to his feet. So they just put in a standard headshot to avoid being overly gruesome.

All these different versions can get kinda annoying. They should at least put the regular and extended version on the same disc.
A special director's cut sold as separate item I can understand. But sometimes it gets out of hand.

The American Pie movies ain't bad but I think I just got bored with them as don't like them as much as I used to. They're just a little corny.

Eurotrip was pretty good really. The little German kid goosestepping in the background just killed me everytime. And Michelle, oh my God that woman.

Porky's was great, except for the 3rd film.

American Pie was one of those things where me and my buddies grew up with the films as they came out, so the music and life events were nearly parallel with ours. So they will always be special to me.

Not as good as the first movie, but still funny and well done. I might skip Wedding, though. I remember really not liking that one. And the less said about the DTV spinoffs the better. Reunion was good, though.

I remember reading a story about an SAS squad in Iraq a few years back. They knew there were a bunch if militants inside a house in the distance, but they couldn't get a shot at them so they broke out a .50 cal sniper rifle and just shot them through the walls. When they went in to clean up, they found them spread all over the room. Grim stuff.

Overlord - It was enjoyable. The first hour or so was the best. After they enter the bunker it feels rushed. I would've liked to see more freaky experiments, but it was almost brushed over. The ending made me think of the fight between Urban and The Rock in Doom. Actually, the whole movie is kinda Doomey. Acting was good, if not a bit stereotypical. It was kinda weird though that this is a WW2 story with plenty of nazi scum, but there's not one swastika in the whole movie... 7/10

Don't take it too seriously, love stories are VERY much up to personal taste, unless you're Twilight and just badly written.

Winona and Oldman's chemistry is off the f**king charts, accompanied by Wojciech Kilar's score- it's heartbreaking. Love it.

It's really a preference thing for me. It just feels wrong to attempt to turn an inhuman monster into a romantic anti-hero, at the expense of diminishing the actual heroes. And the whole reincarnation thing just feels silly and ripped off the original Mummy, which did it better, IMO. I'm not even a fan of it when Richard Matheson did it, and I practically revere him as a writer.

Godzilla (2014)

I still enjoy this, but there's no denying the decision to have most of the monster action take place off-screen gets really old by the end. What little we get to see is pretty impressive, but it feels like there should be so much more, even while maintaining the slow-build the movie is going for. The lack of monster action also isn't helped by the fact the human characters are all fundamentally really dull, except maybe Cranston, but he's not in it much either.

Kong: Skull Island

Much more enjoyable, just because it's so much more fun. The characters and action are all far more colourful - Sam Jackson in particular is ace as a blatant Ahab rip-off. The 'Nam-era setting also makes it stand out.

Still makes me lol though that what is obviously only six helicopters on the ship suddenly becomes double that as soon as they're in the air :laugh: It's one of the least subtle goofs in recent memory.

Not that I noticed. One ship, a Chinook on the bow, a Sea Stallion on the stern and quite obviously only four Hueys on the deck. Then as soon as they launch they suddenly find an extra six Hueys. Maybe they were flat-pack models :P

Another amusing chopper-based goof that I noticed (admittedly a little less obvious than the one above) is how immediately after the helicopter battle with Kong, Sam Jackson buries some dead guys next to what is obviously Chapman's downed Sea Stallion. They then spend almost the entirety of the rest of the film trying to get there lol.

Continuity is overrated eh  ;D
I must admit that there are a few moments that Kong's size vs that of the choppers seems to fluctuate throughout that fight scene (which was absolutely brilliant to watch on the big screen). Also when he's face to face with Brie & Tom's character and she touches him ... his size seems out of whack.

I am curious how they will ramp up Kong v Godzilla given how batsh*t balls to the wall crazy Godzilla King of Monsters is looking. Got a feeling there will be a big baddie in that one to unite Kong & Godzilla (King Ghidorah returns??)

Alita: Battle Angel

Felt more like a bad Robert Rodriguez film than a Cameron one, unfortunately. Beautifully filmed, amazing effects, and Alita herself is extremely likeable... but came off as style over substance, and while I'm normally the last person to care about clichés (loved Avatar), it felt like a mix of elements that I'd seen repeatedly elsewhere. Presumably that's a mark of how influential the original comic was, so I guess it's a similar scenario to John Carter of Mars or Flash Gordon, in which adaptations can't feel as fresh as they should because we've already seen the legacy of the material.
(Although don't get me wrong, I love the 1980 Flash Gordon.)

Also spoiled by some really bad dialogue (which, again I'm normally the last person to complain about) and crassly on-the-nose setups for sequels.

Worth seeing for the visual experience, and it worked really well in IMAX 3D, but it was a major disappointment.

5/10

And the painting that came to life was cool.

It helps that Alan Silvestri's score's probably the last thing he did that's remotely memorable.

Bohemian Rhapsody

It's a bit by the numbers, but not the absolute disaster the detractors are making it out to be. That being said, if they were going to go out of their way to get Mike Myers and do a corny ass Wayne's World joke, they should have gone the full mile and gotten Christopher Lambert in there somewhere. ;) Also, I noticed Singer couldn't help but throw in Superman flying text during the one montage. Referencing one of your shittier films is always a bold choice, I suppose. :laugh:

My favorite line in the film: "What exactly are you doing with that car, Roger?" :laugh:

Like so many people he keeps watching it because he desperately wants to like it and it magically becomes a good movie.

The same shit happened with Alien 3. People didn't want to believe it was bad so they convinced themselves it's some underappreciated masterpiece. But deep in their hearts they know the truth.

Blasphemy.

I get what you're saying, but it's still blasphemy.

I've only seen the redux maybe twice, and I think I prefer the original version.

We were recently on holiday in Cambodia and I wanted to watch it before we left but didn't get time (despite the fact it was shot in the Phillippines).  Maybe this weekend.

Apocalypse Now is one of a group of films that can be slow but you can get lost in them.  Along with 2001, Blade Runner, and the Man With No Name flicks.

Watched Behind The Curve on Netflix last night.  Having recently gone down the flat-earth rabbit hole on Youtube via SciManDan, Conspiracy Catz and GreaterSapien, this was really interesting.  It essentially let the flat earthers hang themselves by simply broadcasting what they say, but also didn't have the other side of the argument ridiculing them.  The flat earthers seem to fall into three categories - the deluded (not stupid, just lacking in proper education), the grifters, and the people with genuine mental health issues.  Mark Sargent, the main focus of the doco, is definitely in it for the grift.

When it comes to the Original VS the Redux, I think it depends on what you saw first. I can't imagine any other version than the Redux and I got no complaints.
I love that movie. It's in my top 5 all time favorite movies.

Sidenote: I'd love an Alien or prequel movie like this.

First time I've ever seen the movie. Interesting. Not what I expected, but interesting.

I liked it more after a couple of viewings.
First time I expected something totally different so I didn't really like it. Gave it another try, saw it for what it is, thought it was ok, but wasn't in the mood for this type of movie at the time. Now that I know what is, and I know what mood I have to be in to enjoy it, I love it.

"Fun" facts:
-Dennis Hopper was on uppers during his scenes.
-When they approach the temple thingie, you see bodies hanging in the trees. Those were really bodies.
-Brando felt insecure because of his weight, it's why most of his scenes are in the dark.

I just realized that I accidentally watched the theatrical cut. So I'm watching the redux now.

And yeah, you can tell hopper is lit up big time.

It's been quite a while since I've seen this. Enjoy every bit of it, just don't like how McCloud's entire clan turn on him overnight because he heals from his wounds. And the girl that was in love with him, simply goes batshit insane and wants to tear his head off because he's healed? :D shouldn't you be celebrating that?

You are aware that this is seen as witchcraft, right? It's MacLeod btw.

QuoteWhen Connor did not die, the townspeople (including his family) believed his recovery was the work of witchcraft, and threatened to burn him at the stake. Connor's kinsman, and clan chieftain, Angus MacLeod, instead demanded that he only be banished.

Polar with Mads Mikkelsen... not the film I was expecting from the trailers, its very Tarrantino in places.

Spoiler

The ending was a real let down; you can tell that the writers had him die at the end and the studio said "no, what if its a hit and we need a sequel." It made no sense for the girl NOT to shoot him, the twist that it was HIM all along was great and then let down by the failure to deliver.
[close]

But all that said, its still worth a watch for some really innovative (and over the top) action.

Really good in parts. In other parts, not so much. It's not as great as you hear, but not an awful film either. It's funny to see how many people cameo in this film, including his old co-stars from Alias.

Well, I will say- in spite of Brett Ratner's best efforts Ralph Fiennes is arguably more engaging than Tom Noonan, but William Petersen blows the affable Edward Norton away. Manhunter as a film is certainly better though (Michael Mann) but it doesn't really matter- the best adaptation is the NBC series. It even improves upon some dated coding- shall we say, of elements of the original Thomas Harris books.

More entertaining than my first viewing. I only saw it for the first time this past year. I've been watching red Dragon since it came out, so I'm likely biased.

The dialogue is basically the same, so it was a bit difficult to get used to that at first. Like the new version of true grit was difficult for me to adjust to because the dialogue was almost word for word with the original.

It doesn't feel nearly as detailed as the other films , and Brian doesn't bring the thunder like Hopkins or Mads. Noonan was quite a letdown. Peterson and Farina were great, and it was nice to see some of the cast from the other films in different roles.

It's definitely watchable , but i just think it could've been much better.

I give it 3/5.

Well I'm with Old One that Manhunter is such a better crafted movie than Ratner's Red Dragon, but I'll go one step further and say Noonan is better than Fiennes, and then I'll go controversial... Cox over Hopkins in these two films only. I think Hopkin's spends his time between hamming it up and mailing it in, and the approach by Cox is just right.

Now the only question remains is, am I going to pay for saying that?  ;D

Also Manhunter has Dennis Farina and his moustache.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Pretty good. The movie looks great and most of the acting was good, except for Alita's love interest Hugo. What a bland actor. The big manga eyes on Alita didn't bother me one bit. I also like that they took scenes and inspiration from both the manga and the anime. The only downer is that it's rated PG13. A movie like this should be a hard 'R'. I saw it in 3D but it didn't do anything for me, you hardly notice it's there. Also, the ending is very obviously set up for a sequel. 7.5/10

Not as grand as the original film but still a good film. The Leonov is a very cool looking ship and I always enjoy watching Roy Scheider.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
I remember the first time I saw this I didn't enjoy it - It felt like an odd film as it felt so un-Potter like. On second viewing I realise the fact it's setting is so different to the others (hardly anything at Hogwarts) is what makes it felt odd. I enjoyed it more this time round - still felt like a filler film mind.

2010 is a more straightforward movie. Good performances by John Lithgow, Roy Scheider and Helen Mirren. It even has some early cgi stuff. If you have the dvd you should be switching to the blu-ray right now; it looks 100x times better.

Blade Runner 2049 Decided it was time for a rewatch. The original is one of my all time favorite movies, but this just doesn't seem to grab me. It looks amazing, thanks to Roger Deakins, but the story isn't as smart or philosophical as the first one, although it tries very hard to be. Also, I love slow movies like Stalker, Avalon and Hard to be a God, but holy hell, 2049 just drags in places. Acting was mostly good, although Gosling just repeats his role from Only God Forgives, including his outburst. At the end we get to see Harrison Ford being absolutely useless for the remaining time, whoop-dee-freakin-doo. Dave Bautista's role is short but powerful. Sylvia Hoeks was good but very 2 dimensional. I liked Jared Leto's Niander Wallace. The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch was mostly loud and obnoxious. Mostly. A couple of nice cues, that's it. It's a visual masterpiece but imo it has a lot of problems people are, for some reason, ignoring. 7/10

I was dead against it from the first announcement.  Blade Runner didn't need a sequel, but when the trailers came out I was impressed by what I saw, and I absolutely adored the movie when I finally got around to watching it.  On subsequent viewings it isn't the masterpiece I believed it to be, but I still love the movie.  It's gorgeous and the soundtrack is fantastic, but there is something lacking in the story itself, and the villains were nowhere near as menacing or charismatic as Roy Batty   

Spoiler
Also, I wanted to see more of Dave Bautista, he was incredible in the brief time he was on screen.  The guy has some serious acting chops

That's the beauty of Blade Runner '82: are the villains really villains?

In 2049 it's clear that Luv is a villain, because she seems to enjoy killing a bit too much and feels superior towards humans and other reps. The motivation for killing by Batty and crew is different though.

Also, it's still not clear to me why Wallace wants to know the secret of reps getting pregnant.

They were playing God without much respect to life and seeing replicants as objects. It's obvious when Sebastian asks Batty and Pris to do a trick. I don't think they deserved to die for that, they were in the wrong though.

Also, Batty is a combat model programmed for violent actions. He doesn't know how to process all these new emotions.

They are taking life unnecessarily. In regards to Sebastian, it's innocent life. That makes them villains.

For this specific question, the reasons are irrelevant.

A criminal might rob a bank to pay for cancer treatments, but he's still a criminal when all is said and done, even though we might sympathize with him or he is not actually a bad person. Being a villain is a classification based on actions, not necessarily the same as being evil or morally wrong.

You can be a villain and not be evil. You can also be both.

Mad Max

First time I'd watched this all the way though in a very long time.  Read the novelisation again then watched the flick, and it really went up in my estimation.  I always though the first film was a bit dull after the first action scenes until you get to the end.  So you had a great 15 minutes at the start and a great 15 minutes at the end but an hour in the middle that could be a bit slow.

Having read the novel again and getting all the background I'd forgotten about the world they inhabit, then catching bits of that world seeping through in to the film, I have a new appreciation for it.  I almost teared up when Jessie and Sprog are run over despite seeing that scene a million times.  I'd forgotten the menace and tension when Toecutter is on screen, particularly his scenes with Johnny and how he's grooming him against the advice of Bubba.  And little things about how there's constant references to the 'code 3' (the Nightrider incident at the start) throughout the film, and then at the end when Max is hunting the bikies there's a message that you'll miss if you aren't listening properly, coming over the radio about the theft of the pursuit special by an MFP officer and how it's "a potential code 3".  Which links back to Max quitting and telling Fifi that if he spends any more time on the road he becomes a terminal crazy like Nightrider.

I like the original Mad Max, but I do agree with your original assessment that it drags in the middle. The revenge ride finale is amazing, but it takes too long to get there and when it finally does it's over rather quickly. I still enjoy it, but nothing like as much as the second.

Didn't realise they'd done a novel adaptation. Might have to get a hold of that. I hope it's all written in Australian.

It's not my review, but an eye-catcher of a title on IMDB  ;D

1/10 God-awful movie that makes Prometheus look like a brilliant sci-fi movie

Warning: Spoilers

Spoiler
This has to be the worst sci-fi movie I have ever seen (and trust me I have seen a lot). It is an insult to anyone with just half a brain. But let me give you a little taste of this gem:

It starts off with a capsule with a soil probe from Mars on its way to Earth that is out of control due to a crash with little meteorites. The ISS, where the probe should be processed, has to catch it manually, which they do by means of an extendable arm. Okay. I wont go into the physics off this, but if you have ever seen how much energy is set free when a car crashes into something with 100km/h relative velocity, you should know that such a catching maneuver is bound to go south (not even talking about the problem of maintaining a space station in geostationary orbit with nothing but little jet nozzles whilst trying to get it into a configuration such that it has low relative velocity with respect to a capsule that is headed straight for Earth with something like 20000km/h). Mind you, at this point we are 5 minutes into the movie and the science was already thrown out of the window.

Fast forward. We are in the CDC approved lab, which is a plexiglass shielded section of the ISS with nothing but a plexiglass door without any further safety precautions. Inside this section is a glove box, where they keep the probe. Turns out the probe contains life which has been idle for about 4 billion years without decaying (obviously entropy doesn't apply to aliens). Well, how about we try to wake it without further investigation? Yeah, let's do that.

Fast forward. It has grown to a hand-sized organism, but has fallen into a slumber again. It's still inside the glove box and attacks the biologist who tried to wake it by electrocuting it. It breaks his tool and his hand, which causes him to faint, and leads to its escape from the box by means of using the broken tool to cut open the glove of the glove box. (yeah, it only took earth's organisms like 3 billion years to learn to use tools, this thing does it in less than 12 hours). But fear not, whilst the life form is busy eating a rat, a colleague hops in the lab and pulls the biologist out. Surprise, surprise, the organism latches on him, so that the other guys have to seal him into the lab. He tries to burn the organism with an oxygen torch and with a flame thrower (which they obviously have ready to use on a space station, ofc). Welp, it doesn't help, this carbon-water-based organism is immune to fire (hey, because chemistry doesn't apply to aliens, didn't you know?). Subsequently, the organism kills him and eats him from the inside. The fire has caused the air vents to open, which somehow can only be closed one by one, and gives the organism time to flee.

Jup, we are not even 20 minutes into this masterpiece but the stupidity is mind-boggling. I could keep on writing about a lot more of this utterly dumb movie (like the organism being able to survive in space for prolonged times, the space station being out of fuel just at a time where it is convenient for the "plot", the organism drinking toxic liquid coolant, the space station going on a descent right after it has been pushed outward on an ascending course (because screw logic), etc.), but let me finish by saying that in the end of the movie this organism has figured out how to read instruments in an escape pod, how to steer said escape pod and how to safely reenter it into earth's atmosphere, all whilst fighting the astronaut in the escape pod. (Which was tried to be masked as plot twist. but you could see that one from a mile away). And although it has killed every astronaut basically on sight, it decided to leave this last one in the escape pod alive with itself latched to him. Wanna know why? Because it has anticipated that, despite it successfully completing the landing of a space ship, it won't be able to open the door of the escape pod and someone on the outside has to do it for it. Which some fisher men actually do, despite the fact that they can clearly see that inside the pod there is a bloody, heavily injured astronaut with a man-sized alien octopus attached to it.

I urge you to not go to watch this movie. Waste of time and money. I have suffered through it. No need for you to suffer too

Outland

Wasn't all that long ago that I last watched this. Still find the scene where the hitman blows out an obvious window right in front of him a little silly, but otherwise it's solid. The slimy business exec character was much more fun than I remember.

Cargo (2009)
A Swiss low-budget sci-fi movie that blows many big budget sci-fi movies out of the water. It's like a mix between Pandorum, Moon and The Matrix. There's little to no action, but thanks to its well written story it's engaging nonetheless. Acting is good overall and for such a low budget the movie looks amazing. Kept me entertained all the way. 8/10

Prospect (2018)
Average sci-fi flick with Pedro Pascal.

Sidenote: this movie proves that always wearing a space helmet looks crap.
You lose a lot of the actor's facial expressions, there's reflecting light, condensation,...

Not all of them.


Escape Room (2017). It wasn't awful until the end, which had a naked girl in a cage, a sexy party, and no explanation for anything, even though it seemed like there should be one.

Currently watching Winchester. Hopefully it'll be better.

The Happytime Murders
I don't like Melissa McCarthy as an actress but this movie was okay and got a few chuckles out of me. It's basically a raunchy muppet show, made by the son of the guy who invented the muppets. Not sure his pop would approve this. Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles is way better and funnier though, so if you have to pick go for that one. 6/10

KIngsman: The Golden Circle
I thought the first one was great, but this was disappointing. It's a badly written, overly stylized and extremely violent wannabe James Bond movie. The first one still was grounded in reality a bit, but this is like watching a live action cartoon. Channing Tatum's role is suprisingly short; I think even Elton John had more screen time. The dig at Trump was funny though. 6/10

Overlord is better than Far Cry, but they have very similar stories. In my opinion 1968 Tunnel Rats, Rampage and Assault on Wall Street are better though.

Far Cry: Jack Carver discovers an island where a crazy doctor is experimenting on humans to make them super soldiers. He gets help from a female journalist who knows more about what's going on.

Overlord: A military squad discovers a bunker where a crazy doctor is is experimenting on humans to make them super soldiers. They get help from a French woman who knows more about what's going on.

Captain Marvel (2019)

Just came back from seeing this and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The cast is the strong part of the film. Brie Larson shines as Carol Danvers and brings a lot of heart and emotion to the character, something the trailers didn't showcase enough. Fury is Fury and you know what to expect at this point. It was nice seeing Coulson again, even if just as a rookie and not a whole lot to do.

Ben Mendelsohn does steal the show a bit as Talos and seems to have a lot of fun. That is something that can be said for several actors in this film, who really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Brie Larson certainly, but also Annette Bening, who is such a welcome addition to the cast. Brie also gets to have a few heartwarming moments with fellow actress Lashana Lynch.

The narrative of the film flows quite well, with Carol's character and past shrouded in mystery. The conflict between the Skrulls and Kree is well established and I really enjoy seeing the Skrulls in action. If there is something missing from the film, it's a threatening villain. There is no one who feels like they can really oppose Carol, even in the midst of all the action. As such, the third act suffers from a lack of stakes.

It's beautifully shot, very funny (and not so funny at other parts, though few and far between) and delivers a lot of throwbacks to the 90s without being too on the nose about it.

I'd give it a solid 7/10 if I'd have to rate it.

Well, if you heard the most amazing thing ever, that'd probably either be NIN or a humpback whale climaxing in a tunnel. I think Marvel is still a few years away from branching into the latter.

Aquaman (2018)
Little better than average.
Didn't know about the underwater sci-fi stuff. The whole crazy coloured places and things were a little too much for me.
Preferred the on land parts.
Jason Momoa improved a little as actor. It was nice to see William Dafoe and even better to see Dolph Lundgren who was the coolest thing in the entire movie.

Jersey Boys (2014)
About Franky Valli and The 4 Seasons, directed by Clint Eastwood.
Pretty good. Not sure if it was accurate but I certainly enjoyed it.

Cool film if a little inaccurate in parts but enjoyable none the less. Frankie's life was quite tragic at times. The music though was superb. Would've loved to have seen the broadway production of this now having seen it.

I'm going to give two different answers as it helps me to answer the question as a whole

In Theaters: The Last movie I watched in Theaters is actually Halloween (2018), I really enjoyed this film and since I'd never experienced any Halloween film prior in a theater it meant a lot to me to be in the seats, experiencing it on the big screen.

At home: The last movie I watched on DVD/Blu-Ray is Incredibles 2, though I enjoy this movie I feel that people have easily put this as an overrated film. People seem to completely despise Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, but Incredibles 2 though not having many of the same problems is literally a repeat of the first to me but with Elastigirl being the one going out and doing the crime fighting. Other then that I do enjoy the film just don't think it's as great as everyone thinks.

That's my answer or really answers.

One's ridiculous and over-the-top, the other tries to be more serious and grounded. Which of those you'd deem better would depend on personal taste lol.

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory

The first Under Siege is unquestionably Seagal's best movie (some might argue it's his only genuinely decent movie). Sadly the sequel doesn't really live up go it. It's entertaining enough, but it really feels like it should/could have been better. Still, the head mercenary character's fun and Eric Bogosian is clearly having a ball as the villain. Also the finale is an absolutely spectacular slice of ridiculousness.

Spoiler
I especially like how the mercenary they get to drive the train once they've taken it over stays there until he kills himself ploughing headlong into an oncoming train. Did he sign on knowing he'd eventually commit train crash suicide? Or did they just leave him there and not tell him?

A lot of Seagal fans would agree with you, I think. But I feel the original Under Siege has far wider appeal; a lot of people who don't even like Stevie still rate it as a damn good action movie.

Think I prefer Out For Justice because it has more of an 80's vibe to it.

Under Siege is his best.  Tommy Lee Jones teaming up with Gary Busey is worth viewing on its own.  But Out for Justice is my favourite Seagal movie.  His accent is ridiculous at times, and that bar fight is still one of the best

The Wolverine

I've always said I'm not all that big on superheroes, especially the ones with fantastical powers or abilities, but Jackman is just so good as Wolverine he's an exception to that rule. I really like this one, partly because it feels kinda different, partly because it's a genuine sequel to X-Men: Last Stand, which - deep breath - is my favourite of the franchise by far :P

Mission: Impossible

Not seen the first of these for ages. It's amazing how much more low-key it is compared to the entries since. Great twisty-turny thriller with one hell of a final set piece.

Mission: Impossible 2

So yeah, this is a pretty rubbish M:I film, and really patchy in general, but there's no denying the final 20 minutes are gloriously insane. It's by no means John Woo's best work, even if you limit yourself to considering only his American productions, but I'll always take the time to see him going all-out with a Hollywood budget. Plus Hans Zimmer's score during the biolab shootout might be one of his best ever cues.

Cherry Falls (2000)
Above average Scream clone with a young Brittany Murphy being hunted by a killer who only kills virgins. It's well acted and a fun watch, but it could've done with a bit more humor. 6.5/10

The Age Of Shadows (2016)
Jee-woon Kim is one my favorite directors and again he made a great movie. This time it's about the Korean resistance movement in the late 1920's, smuggling bombs to cause damage to the Japanese oppressors. In the beginning it was a bit confusing, but after that everything becomes clear and you're treated to a fantastic movie. The acting is great, it looks amazing and the soundtrack was excellent as well. Highly recommended, even if you don't like period pieces. 8.5/10

Captain Marvel

I really enjoyed this. It was a lot fun and had some heart to it. Carol was great, honestly, and Fury was awesome and badass. Him and the cat were in serious danger of stealing the show. My only complaints are that a couple of action scenes are badly edited, one song choice is pretty iffy (but nothing compared to the iffy song choice in f**king Death Note), and Annette Benning really phoned it in.

I really disagreed with the casting of Idris Elba as Roland, it didn't make sense given the events of Drawing of the Three, but because they ignored the books completely, it didn't matter, and he turned out to be the best part of the movie.

Just finished Triple Frontier on Netflix.

What a solid film. The cast is top notch and it's very entertaining. You really feel the characters have history and their relationship to each is apparent thanks to the great performances. The movie takes a few turns which I didn't see coming especially since I read the original script. It's not the huge action flick you'd expect but it's a solid action-thriller. It starts as an action-heist film and it becomes a survival movie.

Highly recommend watching this one. This is easily one of Netflix's best movies they've produced. I'm surprised how good it was based on the countless production problems it had.

8/10 for me.

Triple Frontier

Really enjoyed this for the most part. Book ending with two Metallica songs was certainly a high point. This apparently went through quite a lot of development hell, and I'm curious as to what Chandor changed in the script, since supposedly at least one actor walked from the movie over that. And who was Tom Hanks attached to play, Affleck's character? That would have been interesting territory for him to explore.

And now I'm wondering what Mark Boal's Uncharted script was like. Maybe a bit too dark, heh.

He actually changed quite a bit in the script. There's a bit more in the opening scene, the planning process for the heist is longer, and the third act is a bit different. Plus a major death in the film is changed completely. I think Chandor ultimately made the better changes though. This movie had Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, Casey Affleck, Tom Hardy, Channing Tatum, and Mahershala Ali at one point of another. Katheryn Bigelow was the original director as well.

Saw it once around its release and didn't like it.
Tried it again around Christmas time last year. Thought "Maybe now that I know what to expect, I'll like it more" But I didn't.

Have you seen Rare Exports? It's about some evil Christmas thingy, that could've been Krampus.
I think up till now this movie handled the subject best. Even when it's only in some short flashback bit, if I remember correctly.

I'd still love an imo proper Krampus movie. Something more typical to the old legend and a little similar to the movie Sint/Saint.
Just Krampus abducting kids and some group of people chasing him trying to save their kids.

Based on the script draft I read, it would have been fairly close to the film as it stands up to a point, with some small bits of dialogue and such. It's really towards the end where things get different. The Mother is more of a withered old woman (apparently test audiences didn't like our heroes killing elderly folks so that was changed), and the Leader with the horns wasn't in it at all. The ending was less of a "kill the leader, scatter the horde" thing, and bit more like how Zulu ended. Also, the subplot with the prince pays off (he ends up as the sacrificial "dog" on Buliwyf's funeral pyre, heh), and the love interest gets one last scene as well.

There's also the odd thing where one of the warriors is a young boy, and you can just barely spot him in certain bits in the movie, but he's mostly cut out.

I mentioned before that I'm not a fan of westerns, but that's another of the few I really do love.

Probably the closest Eastwood's ever come to being a villain.

So this ismore of a techno/political thriller than a disaster movie with the disaster scenes as more window dressing than anything. But it has Gerard Butler with his impossible to place American accent, as well as President Andy Garcia, so it's not a total loss, just kind of dull. Sadly, not balls to the wall enough to be nicknamed Earth Has Fallen. :laugh:

Book of Monsters (2018)
Decent low budget horror-comedy with a lot of heart. And all practical special effects.
Almost like a modern 80's type horror flick.

Watch Out, We're Mad! (1974) original title "...altrimenti ci arrabbiamo!"
One of the better Terence Hill and Bud Spencer movies.

Quality film but I do think Zahler is a little too close to his own work too realise it's a tad too long.
Some bits could've been cut and it would've still been the same movie.
Maybe it's because he's also a book writer.

The only parts I felt dragged out a bit were the last ten minutes or so (but that was most likely because it was 1 AM and I was tired), and

The Jennifer Carpenter scenes, especially since she dies so quickly right after we spend ten minutes setting her character up. It reminded me a bit of the hitman subplot in The Raid 2, where they did a similar thing.

Along with part of the intro scene of the main black character: the sex and dialogue.

Venom (2018)
It was okay I guess. Parasite from outer space gets taken to earth and attaches itself to a loser reporter, giving him superpowers. I have a hard time recalling what happened in the movie. It really isn't anything special. Characters are just there. Nothing is fleshed out. Michelle Williams has a thankless role as Hardy's worried girlfriend and Riz Ahmed's bad guy is wasted. I don't even know what his goal was in getting the symbiote to earth. The 'Jump out the window' scene was pretty funny though. 6/10

Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018)
Enjoyable horror comedy by former 'Kula Shaker' member Crispian Mills. A prep school gets attacked by monsters living under the earth when a giant sinkhole appears. I'm a fan of his first movie 'A Fantastic Fear of Everything', so I was thrilled to see this and it doesn't disappoint. The story is fairly cliche though (it has all the usual prep school stuff like hierarchy, classes and bullying), but it's well acted and things move at a nice pace. It takes a while before shit gets real though. Nice supporting roles by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Michael Sheen. 7/10

Mortal Engines (2018)
The bigger the budget Peter Jackson gets to work with, the worse it gets. Okay, Mortal Engines isn't directed by him, but he did produce it and wrote the screenplay. It's a visual treat with a lot of steampunk references and some nice acting, but ultimately it's an empty movie. You don't care about the characters and if they live or die. You don't care about all the colorful cgi it throws in your face. I have no idea how it compares to the book but the movie didn't make me want to rush to the library and read it. Oh, I have to mention the soundtrack... It was horrible. Bombastic, ridiculously overblown sentimental orchestral pap. I was surprised to see it was done by Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL). 5/10

Happy Death Day (2017)
A murder mystery, Groundhog Day style. A stuck up campus slut gets killed and has to find out who murdered her. I really enjoyed this, despite guessing who the killer was in the first five minutes. It's very predictable but still fun nonethess. It's well shot, well acted and has a good soundtrack. Can't go wrong with this one.7/10

In the run up to Endgame, I've spent the last two weeks watching the MCU

Iron Man - Awesome
Iron Man 2 - Okay
Thor - Meh
Captain America First Avenger - Okay
Avengers Assemble - Awesome
Iron Man 3 - I like it
Thor The Dark World - Stop fake killing Loki
The Winter Soldier - Masterpiece
Guardians of The Galaxy - Best Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back (Pre Rogue One)
Avengers Age of Ultron - Trash
Ant Man - Forgettable fluff
Civil War - Wasted Potential
Doctor Strange - Awesome
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - Awesome
Spider Man Homecoming - Meh
Thor Ragnarok - Trash
Black Panther - Great villain, terrible cgi at times, okay movie
Avengers Infinity War - Flawed but awesome

Can't seem to be bothered with Ant Man and the Wasp, and I still haven't gotten around to Captain Marvel

After what the MCU has done to Hulk, they don't deserve that movie.

I do need a re-watch though.  Imagine that Hulk facing off against Thanos

For it being the second ever MCU film, I like it despite some of its flaws. Tim Roth who I do see often these days on screen was pretty good. As was the casting for Ross. I liked that they skipped the origin and had it play out in the opening credits. They certainly have improved upon the character over the years, and Norton as Banner in my eyes was great. He was lanky, burnt out (remember he's been Hulk for a number of years) and less goofy than Ruffalo. I think given more opportunity to work with the character he would have really owned it.

I think so too.  I like Ruffalo but they've really nerfed Hulk since Age of Ultron, as much as I like GOTG I hate the fact that a badass like Drax is now comedy relief, they really cheated Hulk out of a real confrontation with Thanos

Hulk will have his rematch. There's a reason why we see very little Ruffalo in the trailers. He's probably Hulk throughout most of the movie this time.

I wouldn't say I hate you for it. I think Bana deserved a much better movie. Sam Elliot as Ross is pitch perfect as well. I've loved the 3 actors they've cast to be in the film roles.

Damn. I wish Bana had really blown up. They tried with him, he deserved to be a big star. I love him in Troy and Black Hawk Down.

I'm with you on this one. I actually enjoyed the whole psychological aspect of Ang Lee's film and I'm also a bit biased given Bana is a fellow Aussie who I always enjoy watching on screen. I mean it's got Jennifer Connelly in it!!

The 3rd act kind falls down a bit but overall I prefer it too - I found the Norton one rather average.

I much prefer the casting for all the major characters. Eric Bana > Edward Norton. Jenifer Connelly > Liv Tyler. Sam Elliot >>> William Hurt.

As you say, Ang Lee's movie had it's faults but the MCU film just feels bland in comparison. It also bugged me that the villain in the Norton movie was basically just an evil Hulk, coming right after Iron Man fought an evil Iron Man in the first of those films.

Anyway, a bunch of movies I've watched over the last week or so:

Terminator Salvation

All the talk of this in the Terminator thread reminded me I'd not seen it for ages. I didn't like it as much as I remembered, but it's still easily the best of the post-Cameron movies, if only because it tries to do something different. Some pretty impressive cinematography in some of the action sequences.

The Death of Stalin

Really enjoyed this. The whole cast were a hoot but Steve Buscemi and Jason Isaacs in particular were a riot. As with all the best surreal comedies, much of it was worryingly believable.

Tears of the Sun

I really rate Antoine Fuqua. He may not be a visionary but I've thoroughly enjoyed every film I've ever seen by him, and this is no exception. Bits of it are quite harrowing - the scene where the SEALs come across a village being ethnically cleansed in particular is hard to watch - but its one of the best modern wear movies I can name. In hindsight, Bruce Willis seems like he's simply phoning in another of the lacklustre performances he's been making a habit of lately, but for once it actually fits his character. The final twenty minutes is pretty awesome, and it's accompanied by some of Hans Zimmer's finest work.

Brooklyn's Finest

Coincidentally another film by Fuqua. I'd seen this once but it was a long time ago, so I was keen to watch it again. Didn't realise before how many faces from The Wire crop up in this. The three/four leads are all solid. It's not on the level of Training Day (even though it's clearly trying to be) but its an engaging cop drama. Ironic that
Spoiler
the two main characters who are actually planning and striving for a better life ahead wind up dead, while the one we meet putting his revolver in his own mouth is the only one to survive.
[close]

Navy SEALs

My mind tells me this film is complete shite, but my heart tells me it's a riot. Every now and then you get one of these military-funded, blatant propaganda/recruitment pieces, but whereas these days they're all grim and deathly serious, this was the 80s*, so it's all completely ridiculous, played substantially for macabre laughs and has a rock soundtrack. Michael Biehn stars in easily the second best Navy SEAL role he's ever played, alongside a young Charlie Sheen (who manages to be likeable despite his character being a total prick) and Bill Paxton as a sniper called God. They go trotting around the globe using all the best military hardware the US Navy can supply in pursuit of some terrorists (who of course are all Arabic and who we learn literally nothing about beyond their leader's name) who have got their naughty mitts on some surface-to-air missiles. In their downtime, the SEALs play golf while rocking out to Bon Jovi covering Thin Lizzy with the amps turned to 80s.

Oh yeah, and to add to the fun, the picture quality on the DVD is atrocious, so it was more like watching a VHS, which added that extra slice of nostalgia.

*OK, so technically it was released in 1990, but it's still 80s as f*ck.

Navy SEALS... is awesome. You forgot Rick Rossovitch is also in it ... it's kinda like a movie that they made behind James Cameron's back to annoy him.

I've not seen it in 20 years or something like that but I still remember Charlie Sheen smugly saying "And he's dealing with the Navy SEALs" in response Joanne Whalley's warning about the uber-bad.

I also remember him jumping off a bridge whilst drunk... not sure if that was an actual event that they filmed and put in the movie.

Le sigh. To Amazon it is, then...

Smith has said that the movie is "literally the same f**king movie all over again" referring to his 2001 comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

The new movie will take jabs at reboots, remakes, and sequels while simultaneously being all three at the same time.

Yes, but it's even better if you've seen them so you know what all those inside jokes are about. There are probably between 30-50 in Jay & Silent Bob that you will only get if you've seen his previous movies.

This was utter bonkers, but in a great way. Man, when a DC character is put in the hands of the right director, the material really soars. This is what the DCU should and could be. I don't know what I enjoyed more, the crazy, underwater stuff or watching everybody's hair distractedly sway around underwater. Fun, fun stuff!

For the first time: Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, I finally got to see this one with it's Blu-Ray release. It's fantastic and I love it, the soundtrack, the characters it hooked me and I call it my second favorite of 2018. (Infinity War taking the first place)

Rewatch: Gremlins 2, why did I torture myself with this? I enjoyed this as a kid but looking on it now I understand why it's not as good as the original. It's like a literal parody and it makes fun of pop culture throughout the entire movie which is really annoying. If I wanted that I'd watch Spaceballs, not a sequel to a movie like Gremlins. I can almost compare it to The Predator but I'm not sure which is worst it's so similar in a sense that it almost feels like a parody instead of a follow up. At least I got the original with this $5 2 pack at walmart so it's not all bad.

Perfect Sense

Really enjoyed this for the most part. I thought the premise was interesting and handled in a way that was very reminiscent of H.G. Wells. The narration bits were laid on a little thick, though, and were pretty distracting in the third act.

One of my favorite sequences in the the entire film. I am glad James Wan got the inject a little horror into his superhero film. And that shot of Arthur and Mera with the flare swimming towards the bottom of the ocean whilst the trench followed them, is one of the most beautifully done shots in the film.

Van Damme pulling his double gimmick. To catch a serial killer, they clone him in hopes to stop him. Not one of JCVD's best. It's more Michael Rooker's movie than it is Van Damme's.

That's two hours I'll never get back. Shitty characters for a shitty film.

There are Monsters

Interesting concept with a few genuinely creepy, scary moments.  Unfortunately, the asshat who directed and edited this movie did it in such a way that it was almost unwatchable.  The shaky cam was overused and horrendous, as well as constantly zooming in and out, and shifting focus, cutting between characters far too frequently, and even extended periods where the camera focused on nothing at all, just some blurred out corner of a room or car.  It took me three sittings to get through the movie, and I even had to skip through the last twenty minutes.  Such a shame, they had a great idea, and like I said some scenes were really chilling, but the filming of it completely ruined the experience

I enjoyed the hell out of that in much the same way I enjoyed the hell out of Superman IV - it was hilarious just how nonsensical it was.

Plus it has given us perhaps the greatest Michael Caine quote of all time, regarding his thoughts on the movie: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!"

-Mr. Glass is a hacker all of a sudden. Imprisoned since 2000, yet he's up-to-date on coding and all that stuff.

Braddock: Missing in Action III

I think the best way to summarise would be to quote a review I wrote for this film on another site a few years ago.

QuoteInstead of offering a reasoned and well thought-out critique on it, I think it'll be more productive if I just list what was awesome/f*cking hilarious about this movie:
  • The opening couple of minutes, which was basically a propaganda piece about why it was sad that America lost the Vietnam War.
  • Keith David! (In the most token of roles.)
  • Mrs. Braddock's friend cooing, "This dress is so beautiful!" when it looks like it's made out of bad 70s wallpaper.
  • "I don't step on toes... I step on necks."
  • Braddock's random pilot mate, who couldn't seem to decide if he was English or Australian and consequently just spoke some bollocks halfway between the two.
  • The fact that Chuck Norris used the Batboat to infiltrate Vietnam :laugh:
  • The amazing disguise Braddock wore to ensure he wasn't spotted, which consisted of a straw hat that he then almost immediately took off.
  • The lengthy dialogue scenes held entirely in Vietnamese that the post-production guys couldn't be arsed to translate with subtitles. It probably wasn't important anyway.
  • The most ridiculous torture scene I've ever witnessed, in which Braddock is stripped to the waist for no appreciable reason, forced to stand on tip-toes and rigged to a shotgun set to blow his son's head off if he drops to the floor; the entire scene is filmed with deathly seriousness. When Braddock proves surprisingly adept at standing on tippy-toes for extended periods of time, the baddies get annoyed and additionally start electrocuting him.
  • Braddock's enormous (and I mean ENORMOUS) assault rifle/rotary grenade launcher/sharp stick combo weapon.
  • The would-be child rapist prison guard who tastes some sweet karma when Braddock impales him with his bayonet and then shoots him in the gut with his grenade launcher, the impact blowing him through a door and across the courtyard outside, where he then explodes. 'Ave it.
  • The constant special effects gaffes, mostly involving the flares used to depict missiles flying in completely the wrong direction.
  • Talking of missiles going anywhere except where they're supposed to, I especially enjoyed the sequence where Braddock, fleeing in a very slow moving truck through rather open jungle, is pursued for like 10 miles by a helicopter gunship that doesn't manage to score a single hit until after he's stopped and got out.
  • The main villain, who didn't really do anything except scream, "Braddock!" ineffectually every five minutes before flying a helicopter into a tree.
  • In Braddock's world, a breaking neck makes almost as much noise as an AK-47.
  • Guards very slowly being dragged under a truck by a man intent on killing them won't attempt to raise the alarm in any way.
  • The fact the plane Braddock hijacks clearly crashes in a jungle, but is then suddenly in the middle of a rice paddy.
  • The worst Hind mock-up. Ever.

  • The truly heart-warming bonding scene in which Braddock and his estranged 8 year-old son reconcile when the kid helps a wounded Chuck aim his AK-47 so he can kill some people.
  • The fact that our hero escaped Vietnam across the border into Thailand, when Vietnam and Thailand don't share a border...
  • And lastly, it doesn't matter if you ignore a direct warning from your government (and international law) and wage an unsanctioned war on another country – if you find lost children all will be forgiven.

The first half of "The Ten Commandments" on Bluray.

Good Lord, what a transfer. Fine detail was just incredible, and the colors were so rich.

At some points there was just so much of both on screen that I thought my eyes were going to freak out.

Decided to rewatch the Nolan Batman Trilogy again with the missus.
I'm the big Batman nerd and she enjoys the films (as she has a thing for Bale).

So half way through Batman Begins. It's such a great film. So well cast and acted - and yes I understand the gripes about Bale as Bruce/Batman but I totally love his performance.

I remember seeing this film the first time it was released in the cinema and being a bit undecided on it TBH but since then it has grown on me tremendously down the years and is probably my favourite in the series as a character exploration.

In a day of Marvel's continual onslaught of CGI rainbow palette visuals and fantastical storylines I still find myself so drawn to the grounded reality of Nolan's films. That's not to say I don't enjoy the Marvel films either but rather I've always enjoyed the more grounded Detective comics of Batman.

I wouldn't categorize films like Iron Man, Winter Soldier, Civil War etc. in with an "onslaught of CGI rainbow palette visuals", just the opposite, but it always comes down to the movie itself for me. I have a very poor opinion of "Batman V Superman" and the palette used was quite dour, and a very high opinion of the original Guardians of the Galaxy which definitely is enriched with colors.

With that said I'm a huge, huge fan Batman Begins!  :)

Totally get your point. FWIW I loved the Snyder palette - that desaturated HDR tone he started with 300 and I loved it in BvS too. I think the colour palette in GOTG was on point (it's my favourite Marvel film too).

I highly (99.99%) doubt it would ever happen but I would love to see one more return for the Nolan/Bale combo in a Bats film.

Shazam! (2019)

This was loads of fun. Zachery Levi oozes confidence and likability as the larger than life DC superhero. It's part Goonies, and part Big but all heart. I said this before, with Aquaman, given the right direction the DC universe can be a lot of fun. It doesn't have to be dark and dreary simply because one of its heroes dresses in a rubber batsuit and sulks in a cave. There's so much potential in this universe, and both Shazam, and Aquaman have shown that. Even Wonder Woman.   

We Die Young (2019)

Jean-Claude Van Damme goes up against MS-13 in this solid crime thriller. His character doesn't say anything throughout the whole film, and its a physical performance to portray emotion. I liked this. The surrounding cast was good as well. Particularly the actor who was the head of the MS-13 gang.

The Triangle

I was loving this movie for the first hour, the found footage format has been done to death, but here it was used effectively.  The movie was a real slow burn, introducing the characters, fleshing them out, giving little tidbits of information that alluded to the supernatural element of the movie.  Then the final act just forced everything into it, it felt rushed, and left too many questions, huge let down. 

Howl

Fantastic British werewolf movie, it had an interesting take on the werewolf design, all practical effects too.  Not as good as Dog Soldiers, but definitely up there

And a massive plus is the use of AC/DC's Gone Shootin'.

Elite Squad (Tropa De Elite) (2007) and Elite Squad: The Enemy Within (Tropa De Elite 2) (2010).
Proper crime-action movies about cops, corrupt cops and criminals in Rio de Janeiro.
Ironically the main actor and good guy is played by Wagner Moura, who plays Escobar in Narcos.

Yeah, I remember being hopeful, even a little excited for the remake.
Then I became aware of the PG-13 rating, saw a couple of stills and passed on the movie.

Damn you, Jamie Foxx. He had to ruin things just like he did in Law Abiding Citizen.

Aquaman

A hell of a lot of fun.  As far as DC movies go, it ins't on the same level as MoS or BvS, but it is a blast to watch.  The casting was great, the visuals are gorgeous and the action was superb.  James Wan did an amazing job.  My only gripes were that the script felt a little weak in places, and I think Black Manta could have been saved for another movie.  Orm was more than enough for a movie villain.  Despite that, it was still awesome, just a shame I didn't get around to seeing it on the big screen

I absolutely love that movie. Cruise is one badass motherf*cker in it. The scene where he draws down on the two muggers in the alley and gives them both two in the chest and one in the head in like two seconds is incredible. Michael Mann must be a stickler for properly drilling his actors on how to handle firearms, because it always comes across on-screen.

So damn good.  Wasn't Heat used as an example in military training for how to properly check that a magazine is full?  Or was that a rumor?  Either way, Cruise steals that movie, not that I have anything against Jamie Foxx, he's great too.  The whole cast is awesome, but Cruise is on another level, and seeing him play a villain added to the experience

I've no idea if it's genuinely true, but I've heard that too. It's a shot of Val Kilmer reloading his AR-15 during the big bank robbery shootout that has apparently been used as a textbook example of how to do it. All the lead actors in that were trained by ex-SAS man Andy McNab (the bloke who wrote Bravo Two Zero) so you'd hope they'd know what they were doing :laugh: Pretty sure Cruise was trained by some former SAS people too.

Another thing that I love about Collateral is the fact that Jason Statham's character at the beginning is supposed to be the guy he plays in the Transporter films ;D

Yeah, it's one of my favorite Cruise roles. And that scene is kick-ass indeed.
All this is why I find it so sad the movie didn't turn out different storywise.
And with the similar stuff happening in Law Abiding Citizen, watching Jamie Foxx makes it extra annoying to me. Even though it's one of his better performances.

Didn't know the Transporter link. Fun "fact", true or not.

Yep.

Spoiler
It really upsets me that WB didn't just back Snyder as opposed to cutting out the half-hour of the film that made it make sense. I believe it was down to the run time and they wanted to get more bums on seats - and the same was true of JL. Not only the reshoots but also the directive that it had to be less than two hours long.

But in any event, tragic personal circumstances caused Snyder to leave the JL project - nothing could be done, but Whedon was the last person they should have got on that show.

MoS has its flaws, but its still a great movie; I think they made bold choices, Cavill and Shannon were superb and I loved the brooding tone. An introspective Superman goes against the grain, right? He's always been the "super" man - an aspirational figure that none of could ever be. A god with all the decent human tendencies and none of the bad.

Grounding him was, as I say, a brave choice.

I also thought that the choice to show the actual destruction that a super-powered pagga would cause on a cityscape was incredible. Like - action = consequences. One of the criticisms levelled at Superman Returns was the lack of action and just had him "lifting stuff." Snyder delivered a full on war - and gets decried by the same people cos "Superman would have known better than to do that."

Storywise - he's been Superman for all of five minutes. Film-wise - they'd all be bitching if it was a fight in the desert. The truth is, this is a man with super-powers. He wants to do the right thing - but he makes mistakes. Bad choices. Errors in judgement. I loved that - and let us not forget, this was the first part of a four film arc for this character (Mos, BvS, JL I & II). I've no doubt he'd emerged more Chris Reeves at the end of all that.

MoS does have its wobbles, but I think it's the second best Superman film... the 78 one trumps it for heart and my nostalgic loyalty.

BvS is a different kettle of fish - the Ultimate Cut as you say is full of ace and awesome, but there are problems with it plotwise (Lex unleashes Doomsday, Doomsday kills Superman... and then what? How do you stop Doomsday without Superman? Unless you argue that Lex - by this stage - has descended into total insanity).

"Martha" - ah, how great that must have sounded in the writers room. If only he'd said "My mother - they're going to kill my mother" - given Bruce pause and Lois (a human) throws herself on Clark to protect him ... that works as well as Martha, really.

Are these movies masterpieces? Not sure about that that - flawed masterpieces maybe. Reached for the stars and fell short... but there was a solid foundation there that has of course been entirely undermined now.

As great as Shazam! was - tonally, it doesn't fit in the SnyderVerse. I believe that Suicide Squad was originally as close to a horror movie as you could get - before the reshoots and Marvelising... And the less said about Justice League (even though I'm predisposed to like it) the better.

I've totally derailed the thread.

The "twist" at the end was really unnecessary

Snyder didn't leave though, he was fired. The studio then used his family tragedy to cover up that fact and that Whedon had stepped in to finish the movie. Snyder's cut was supposed to be very dark. Meanwhile the studio were pissing themselves because of the poor response to BvS and demanded a lighter tone, with your typical superhero quips thrown in every few minutes. Basically they wanted another Avengers, not another Watchmen.

Snyder's just kind of a lame storyteller, IMO. Everything is so grim and dark without any real merit or anything interesting to say. And I appreciate that he has a visual style of his own, but it just isn't for me. At all. It all has this ugly, murky, overbearing look to it that just turns me away. Haven't seen a single film of his that I've really come close to enjoying.

What happened with his daughter is an absolute tragedy and I feel absolutely terrible about that,  but the DCEU is so much better without him. Aquaman and Shazam were both very fun, and had some genuine heart to them. Hoping for the best with Wonder Woman 1984 (I wanted to love the first one, and it was definitely the best of the Snyder-era, but the third act really killed it for me; it reminded me too much of his style). I have faith in Jenkins and Gadot moving forward, however.

Finished watching the 2nd half of The Dark Knight with my wife. First time I've properly watched it in years.

All I will say is this (IMO) it's peerless and stands above all over comic book movies. I don't say that as a slight on Marvel or anything else DC as I find a lot of enjoyment in them, however Nolan elevated this film beyond the norm (and how!) ... it's just superb all round, incredibly intense, well acted, well written, beautifully shot, grounded and realistic (even for suit wearing hero standards) and such an exhausting but enthralling film to watch.

And I'll admit being a long time Batman diehard too but for me this despite all the love I have for Keaton and Affleck ... this is my definitive version of Batman on celluloid.

As a trilogy I agree somewhat - Begins was great, TDK was a masterpiece, TDKR whilst good was flawed.
I totally get the voice thing with Bale but to be honest I only ever noticed it once others started complaining ... you have a problem with Ledger's performance though? Or am I misreading that? I though his take on the Joker was truly brilliant and menacing.

I don't mind Bale's Batman voice, but what I don't get is why they changed it for TDK. In Begins he mainly uses a deep voice and only goes growly when he's intimidating Flass. In TDK he's growling in every scene, and in TDKR he's growling and shouting at the same time a lot more, which is for me is the worst it ever gets.

High Plains Drifter (1973)
Never saw this one before. Good things someone over here started talking about it as it's a proper Clint Eastwood movie.
There's one scene very similar to one in My Name Is Nobody from the same year. Coincidink?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
A timeless classic and one of my all time favorite comedies.
I remember already liking this when I was a kid. And as the years go by it's still great.


Still my favourite Python film. I remember seeing it when I was very young and they showed it at my brothers High School one night. This was a very conservative Catholic Private School and to say some parents were shocked at some scenes was an understatement.

Luckily they didn't show Life of Brian.

C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Man Bites Dog) (1992)
One of the earlier and better found footage/fake documentary movies.
About a film crew following around a serial killer/thief.
Brutal and funny.

Understandable. The movie's quite bloody at times. Certainly for a comedy in those days.

Quote from: Prez on Apr 11, 2019, 12:20:56 AMFinished watching the 2nd half of The Dark Knight with my wife. First time I've properly watched it in years.

Coincidentally I rewatched The Dark Knight Rises for the first time in a long time last night.

I remember when I saw The Dark Knight in the cinema on opening night, it was absolutely incredible. The way it just built and built and built as it went along, I was breathless by the end of it.

Now though I don't think it's quite the masterpiece it's often made out to be. Don't get me wrong, it's a very, very good movie, but it does have its flaws and honestly I don't think it holds up to repeat viewings the way the Burton films or even Nolan's first one do.

Conversely I enjoyed The Dark Knight Rises more than I remembered. Tom Hardy was superb as Bane, and Hathaway made a great Catwoman.

But yeah, Bale's Bat-Voice is basically what kills his chances of being my favourite Batman. I know it gets harped on a lot, but in this case there's a reason for that.

Another thing that bugs me about Nolan's films is how Gotham completely changes in appearance with each movie.

Quote from: Voodoo Magic on Apr 11, 2019, 01:27:48 AMTwo Face really should have been saved for a different movie in my opinion.

Absolutely. In fact, in the lead up to release I remember it being reported that the film would set Two-Face up as the villain for the sequel, and I actually went into the movie still thinking that was the case, so I was kinda surprised when it killed him off.

Visually Burton's Gotham in the first two films was superb (and still the best).

There were elements of it as you said in the Narrows in Begins but then in TDK and TDKR it was just literally Chicago for the most part. Then TDKR was literally just Pittsburgh. Not exactly gothic inspiring but it (for me) did suit the whole grounded reality of Nolan's take on it.

More ominous? I don't think so. The movie is pretty darn ominous already.

Now it could of went that way if the trailer showed Wade approached by the neighbor zombies, plus attacked by the gas station zombie. Oh yeah, that could have sold the movie a lot differently!  But all of that was left out of the trailer, and all it showed was Wade's struggle to keep Maggie out of quarantine and his final task to kill her.

Sorry there are a lot of criminal trailers out there, but this trailer was a good representation. And it certainly was not sold as an action film.

Want to see a misrepresentation? Let's talk Predators!  :P

Killer Elite is the one that always sticks with me as being totally mis-sold by its marketing.

The trailer made it look like a high-octane, balls-to-the-wall action flick starring Jason Statham and Robert De Niro with a hair metal soundtrack, and who doesn't wanna see that?

In reality De Niro was barely in it, the film was like two hours long and 90% of it was just people talking.

What in the holy f**k did I just watch?  This movie might just be one of the best worst movies I've ever seen.  The script is all over the place, the story is a mess, the acting is over the top and the score is ridiculous at times.  It was entertaining at least, I'll never get bored of watching people roundhouse kick zombies.  It's awesomely bad, but at least it was fun to watch this mess unfold.

Hellboy 2019

LOVED IT!
Far from perfect but a wild, fun ride and for me, as a long time (obsessed) reader of Hellboy this was more in the vibe of the comic book (some scenes are straight out of the Mignola's artwork) - no slight on GDT or Perlman (and I love those films too) but this one hit all the right buttons for me.

This is a younger Hellboy and Harbour brings a different performance to that of Perlman but for me personally I actually enjoyed his take more.
I want more of these films but sadly I doubt it will happen given the poor reception.

Proof yet again that films are subjective ... and most critics opinions rarely line up with mine. That's the beauty of movies - make your own mind up.

I'm really starting to notice a trend with comic book movies.  If it isn't MCU it is suddenly open to mainstream criticism, we saw this with Venom, and after the Dark Phoenix trailer dropped a lot of people piled onto it, it was the same with Hellboy.  Now don't get me wrong, I love the MCU for the most part, but I can't help but notice the majority of mainstream critics, and Youtube personalities immediately gush all over any MCU property, stepping over similar criticisms that they have no problem expressing for movies outside of the shared universe.  Don't get me wrong, some movies are just bad, but it isn't a stretch to see that so many so called critics are very forgiving when it comes to Marvel and Star Wars.  Venom was okay, Aquaman was fun, Dark Phoenix looks so so, and truth be told the Hellboy trailers didn't catch my attention, but I'll still see it.  I'm not a conspiracy theorist, (at least I don't think I am) but I have noticed this trend in recent years.

You're absolutely right dude, and I think its awesome that the movie worked for somebody who loves the comic books.  Hellboy isn't on my shelf, I only really know the GDT movies, which I love but if it works for you then Marshall did his job.  I'm a DC comics fan and an avid defender of the Snyder movies, MoS and BvS are masterpieces in my eyes, but if people don't like them that's cool too, I'm not one to bash people who don't like the things that I like.  I try to avoid the ugly parts of fandom because at the end of the day, whether its Marvel or DC or any other group doing well, then comic book fans as a whole get a win.

I hear ya. Look for the most part most MCU films have been very good however for example Captain Marvel which was bang average at best ... yet critics raving about it. There does seem to be less genuine criticism of their films when warranted say compared to others.

I completely get the criticisms directed at the new Hellboy ... but for me it worked a treat.

Look end of the day if you love a film, good for you. Opinions are just like a**holes, everyones got one :)

You're absolutely right dude, and I think its awesome that the movie worked for somebody who loves the comic books.  Hellboy isn't on my shelf, I only really know the GDT movies, which I love but if it works for you then Marshall did his job.  I'm a DC comics fan and an avid defender of the Snyder movies, MoS and BvS are masterpieces in my eyes, but if people don't like them that's cool too, I'm not one to bash people who don't like the things that I like.  I try to avoid the ugly parts of fandom because at the end of the day, whether its Marvel or DC or any other group doing well, then comic book fans as a whole get a win.

FWIW I love both MoS and BvS too. Never understood the amount of hate either got. But as we said, each to their own.

This was a lot of fun. The performances were spot on. Loved how it weaved and cant wait for a sequel.

Watchers (1988)
A fun Horror film. a good adapt of Dean Koontz's book. Michael Ironside is great as always. Although the Outsider worked best when it was quick shots and in shadow

Fright Night (1985)
Hadnt seen this is years. Its just one of the best Vampire films ever. Roddy McDowell is class as always and Chris Sarandon oozes so much charisma.

Dead Heat (1988)
Been wanting to see this for ages. Its a fun Action/Comedy/Horror. Everyone is just having fun, even in the dark bits

The Crow

Awesome movie, although admittedly there's no escaping the tragedy surrounding it. Sometime's it's hard to judge whether this really would've been the big break for Brandon Lee that people often say it is, or whether they're only saying that because of his untimely passing, but it's still easily his best performance. Michael Wincott is one hell of an awful c*nt as the villain Top Dollar too, and Ernie Hudson is great at the only decent cop in the whole city.

I do kinda wish they'd put together an uncut director's cut of this one day, but at the same time I completely get why they wanted to tone down the gore.

Under Siege

The Seagull's fans can say what they like about Above the Law (:P), this is still by far his best movie as far as I'm concerned, due in no small part to Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey taking each other on in a heavyweight scenery-chewing competition as the villains. Along with Air Force One and The Rock, I consider this to be part of the holy trinity of Die Hard rip-offs.

It's also got one of my favourite action movie lines ever - Jones walks into a hallway full of his men who have been killed by Seagal in a variety of horrific ways, turns to his second-in-command and says, "Daumer, Daumer , Daumer, why didn't you hire this person? I don't know what his price would've been but it would've been worth it."

To be honest, I'm not actually much of a fan of his. He just happened to be in a few genuinely great action films in the 90s (and On Deadly Ground, which I can't help but find hysterically entertaining).

Post by: Russ on Apr 17, 2019, 08:46:38 AM
I just find him hugely entertaining. (I've seen him live in concert... twice).

His latter output got so shit that even I stopped buying them after a while - its a shame because you see folk like Van Damme and Lundgren really giving their DTV efforts the full monty where as - for ten years or more - Seagal just doesn't turn up - even his ADR is often done by someone else... as are the fight scenes.

Still, his increasing waistline has provided endless hours of fun trying to think up titles for his films like "Hard to Fill," "On Deadly Pounds,"  The Slimmer Man," "Into the Bun" and so on. Bonus points for "Belly of the Beast" (an actual title and not a bad latter day effort.)

New plan:

Every day he trains while we drink. It stops when it starts getting dark. That's when it's time for drunks vs Seagal.
And we'll turn this into a movie somehow.

Gino is enjoying his retirement in Vietnam with his wife. Until she gets killed by local gangsters.
Turns out Richie had a bastard son with some hooker. He worked his way up in a crime syndicate until he had enough power to avenge the death of his father.

This movie makes Rambo 4 look like First Blood.
My favorite scenes are the fights with the drunk tourists and the one where he tears through a 3 story gambling house. It was like the pool hall scene from part 1 on crack.

Arctic - excellent slow burn, minimalist dialogued Arctic survivalist movie with Mads Mikkelsen. If you loved Redford's All is Lost then you'll enjoy this one.

I see a lot of words I like there.

I prefer words like chihuahua, noodles, gin and fitflop zip flop.

Wow, excellent stuff.

I like the rawness of this movie but find whole nun/church/Jesus stuff a bit of a turn-off.
In that way I prefer the remake.

Hellboy (2019)
I was bored by this film. It didnt have the fun of the Del Toro films to me, bar two fun sequences i could have seen Perlman doing and one of the performances. Otherwide they tried to cram too much in and it didnt work.

Spotlight
Been wanting to watch this for ages and was worth the wait. a brilliant film. The Vulture and The Hulk team up.

The Final Girls
another great film, loved how it lovingly made fun of 80's slashers but had a lot of heart

The Hateful Eight
Another Tarantino great. nearly 3 hours but worth it

Concussion
While a good film. Its pure Oscar bait

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
It gets better every time

Maze Runner: The Death Cure
A great trilogy ender. Its nice they didnt try and split this in half like other YA film series

Pet Sematary (2019)
An interesting twist on a great story. Although its too jump scary, which annoyed me

Killing Them Softly
Would have been better without the social commentary. Brad Pitt and Ben Mendolson were fantastic though

Greta
An intriguing thriller. Isabelle Hupert elevates this otherwise it would have just been pure melodrama

Double Impact.  Arguably Van Damme's best movie.  It has wonderfully cartoonish villains, as well as the immortal Bolo Yeung.  Van Damme does a good job playing two characters, and the action is just the right blend of over the top and awesome.

Big surprise. HUGE surprise.

Oh dear.  The Russo's kinda sorta maybe shit the bed a little with this.  I need to watch the movie a couple more times to form a full opinion, but my first impression was disappointment.  There are a few moments that will go down as great moments in CBM history, but there are also choices made that spit in the faces of established characters.

It would've been there in the back of my mind,

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: LastSonofKrypton on Apr 26, 2019, 04:05:15 PM
I'm a comic book fan first when it comes to these movies, movie fan second.  I don't care that people hate MoS and BvS, I love them, if you don't, awesome.  But when it comes to Marvel movies (which I love too) it would seem that any dissenting opinion is quickly shot down, or dismissed.  Flaws are quickly glossed over in the MCU, or ignored completely because of the Marvel logo, which is wrong.  I wouldn't do the same with DC, I didn't like Suicide Squad at all, or Justice League, they were bad movies IMO.

That being said, you should definitely go and see Endgame, I'm going to watch it again once the crowds have dissipated.  I hope my future viewings give me a better opinion.  Honestly, it is one of the most bizarre movie going experiences, one minute I'm almost jumping out of my seat because what I'm watching is so mind breakingly awesome, the next I'm resisting the urge to throw my drink at the screen because the choice made with a character is ridiculous.  When it works, it really works, I'm just hoping that on further viewings the negatives will become a little clearer

For me, the book doesn't matter, the context of the original work is entirely irrelevant.
The adaptation is it's own entity and lives or dies on it's merits alone.
Same goes for any adaptation.

I apologize for my original reply, the opinion comment wasn't fair.  It isn't always a straight up adaptation of the comics, it's the treatment of the characters that bothers me more than an adaptation of the stories.  I understand why people don't like MoS and BvS, especially Snyder's portrayal of Superman and Batman, I loved it, it worked, especially as a huge fan of Supes and Bats, but if you don't like it, that's fine.  We completely disagree on Ragnarok, I loathed the way Thor and Hulk were treated in that movie, but I get why people dig the movie.  For example my brother is constantly butting heads with me over that movie, he loves it, I don't.  I really hope people who see the movie enjoy it, I hope I enjoy it more on the next viewing.  Believe me, there are moments that are perfect, I won't spoil anything, but when they happen, you'll remember me saying this now.

Apology accepted.

I loved the idea of the type of Superman MoS created, but regardless- I believe the script failed on it's own merits,
under it's own rules.

For instance; the Batman that kills in
Batman Returns is my favourite version of the character for crying out loud, but it works because it's consistent
in it's portrayal.
(And because honestly, a Batman
who isn't mega-rich,
a technological genius and
a unstoppable martial artist
all at once is more interesting.
Returns' Batman is primarily
a broken man, and a detective.)

MoS fails for me because it isn't, one example being demolishing Metropolis
but struggling to kill Zod. It's narrative dissonance.

MoS fails for me because it isn't, one example being demolishing Metropolis but struggling to kill Zod. It's narrative dissonance.

That's a fair criticism, but my retort would be Superman doesn't intentionally mean to destroy a chunk of Metropolis, in fact Zod is responsible for most of it.  He is taking on a being of similar power, who has better combat training, and who doesn't care what destruction he causes along the way.  The fact that the destruction plays into the story of BvS shows the weight of what happened.  Kal's struggle to kill Zod is perfect because he doesn't want to kill him with his bare hands, but he has no choice, not only killing his enemy, but the only other surviving Kryptonian to his knowledge.  It worked perfectly for me as a fan.  But I get why people don't like it, we've been so used to the Christopher Reeve Superman that it is hard to let go (Reeve is still THE Superman BTW) 

As for Batman killing, it worked for me because it was a Batman broken by twenty years of fighting, and very little change, not to mention the weight of Jason Todd's death, BvS takes so many cues from The Dark Knight Returns, my favourite Batman story, I loved every second of it, but I get why others might not

Iron Man
Avengers 1

Infinity War

Never cared for the CA or Thor films. Or Ultron, Etc.

For me, iron man 1 was the best story. Avenger 1&3 and the guardians movies gave the best adventure and spectacle. The incredible hulk was...okay.

The rest, I could take em or leave em. I can't even tell the difference between civil war and winter soldier. They just all look and feel the same to me.

I like Thor, as a character.

But my opinion of the Thor films never recovered from TDW.

As much as Ragnarock tried to be something bigger like guardians, I just couldn't get into it.

Iron man 2&3 were just meh as far as I was concerned. I like Cap very much as a character, but CA one was a bit rough, and it's sequels were just far too...real world for my taste. Too much politics and paperwork. Too much glock and black suv.

As much as I like Thor 1 and Ragnarok, it's a very uneven series that feels like Marvel has never really known what to do with. I wonder how different things would be if they went with the original idea where the movie was more heavily ensconced in Norse mythology and Thor was banished to Earth in Viking times instead of the modern day.

Red Planet (2000) It was okay. Rag tag crew has to solve the mysterious disappearance of algae sent to Mars to make it a breathable planet. Visuals are good (especially AMEE, the killer robot), the acting so so and the story nothing to write home about. Still, there are worse sci-fi movies.

The only ones I really care to watch are

Iron Man
Avengers 1
Gaurdians 1&2
Infinity War

Never cared for the CA or Thor films. Or Ultron, Etc.

For me, iron man 1 was the best story. Avenger 1&3 and the guardians movies gave the best adventure and spectacle. The incredible hulk was...okay.

The rest, I could take em or leave em. I can't even tell the difference between civil war and winter soldier. They just all look and feel the same to me.

I found Winter Soldier very good but Civil War bored the absolute crap outta me. A film that went nowhere and once I realised everyone of the main characters were safe it lost all of it's tension.

With Civil War, lacking risk of death never equated to safe to me, or stakes. Actually, the opposite. That would have been the cheap way out and the safe way out, from a writing perspective. The tearing appart the Avengers within was the stakes.

Red Planet (2000) It was okay. Rag tag crew has to solve the mysterious disappearance of algae sent to Mars to make it a breathable planet. Visuals are good (especially AMEE, the killer robot), the acting so so and the story nothing to write home about. Still, there are worse sci-fi movies. Apparently there was a lot of friction on set between Kilmer and Sizemore, so that explains why they're almost never together in a scene.

Saw Endgame early to avoid spoilers. Won't comment on it here for a while.

Also on DVD:

Doomsday (Rhona Mitra) which is superb.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - really liked it
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - good if predictable.

An interesting Werewolf film, although it isnt quite sure of its tone. Bruce Payne chews it like always

Xmoor
Could have been better but enjoyed it for the most part

Ferngully
Only Tim Curry could make toxic gas sound sexy and Robin Williams is just Robin Williams lol

The Ambulance
Actually really enjoyed this. Was sold to m as a Horror, but its more a Thriller with Comedy elements. Stan Lee even appears lol

Avengers: Endgame
Saw it in Normal 3D this time. Still a fantastic movie and some theories i had about things, i feel are more solidified. A great end to the era

Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Russ on Apr 29, 2019, 02:26:35 PM
I'm not having this. I used to mock Eric's overacting because in "Best of the Best" he gets his shoulder dislocated by a Korean fighter and limps off the mat. It raised the question "why is he limping if he dislocated his shoulder."

Fast forward eleventy billion years to when I did one of those tough mudder events - I fell onto my shoulder (long story) and dislocated it... as I was being helped off by my team mates (as Eric was) there's video evidence of me limping too. Despite the fact there was nothing wrong with my legs.

So what we may perceive as over-acting is in fact Eric's genius level of finding the truth in his performance.

Honest.

Suspiria (2018) is more of a reimagining than a remake, but I quite enjoyed it. Don't expect anything like Argento's trippy masterpiece though; this is the polar opposite and apart from witches running a dance academy it doesn't have much in common. I also quite liked the music, despite me not being a Thom Yorke fan much. It fit surprisingly well with the images. The movie takes its sweet time (2,5 hours) but didn't feel as long. The only weak link is the main star Dakota Johnson, who's acting chops leave much to be desired. 7/10

The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

Pretty straightforward horror film, with nothing really new or too exciting to offer. It's not bad, it's just kind of there. The movie fails to establish a unsettling tone, unlike the other films set within the Conjuring universe, and relies mostly on jump scares (of which few are effective). The cast kind of saves it. Linda Cardellini is always a pleasure to watch, the kid actors are decent and Raymond Cruz steps away from the Tuco typecasting and delivers a bit more subtle performance. Patricia Velásquez, who plays a grieving mother, is probably the best out of the group however.

6/10

Taking out the comparison to the Carpenter flick - why does everyone shit on this again?  It's not a bad flick at all.  Ending is tacked on as an after thought, but overall it's pretty decent.  Forgot Tormund was in it - and looks identical to Tormund.  And for some reason the effects didn't look as CG as I remember them.  A few scenes did, but many looked practical.  They didn't recut it with the ADI effects did they?

I enjoyed it but my biggest issue was the that at times it was a beat for beat rehash of Carpenter's classic.
That said I liked the dynamic between Edgerton and Winstead. And still it amazes me how people think this is a reboot and not a prequel. In their defence it doesn't help when the marketing genius' can't come up with a new film title and instead just reuse the original film's name.

That said I didn't have a problem with the FX. I thought the scene between Winstead and the other female was actually quite terrifying.
Still not a patch of the original's incredible haunting sense of dread.

Blutgletscher (Blood Glacier) (2013) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2299206/) is probably the only one. It's not great but decent enough.

The Last Winter (2006) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454864) was ok from what I remember but it's more of mystery-thriller than a horror.

And I'm keeping my eye on the upcoming half hour short movie Sound From The Deep (2017) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7213856/).
It's getting good reviews and might be turned into a full length movie.

That's about it. There's Alien Vs Predator, The first X-Files movie and some episodes, but I assume you saw those.

I guess it's neither easy or cheap to film those. Otherwise I can't understand why there aren't more.

Turned it off at some point and can't be bothered to finish it.
Thought it was going to be a cool sci-fi movie but it's more of a disaster movie in a sci-fi setting.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
Didn't finish this one either. Most of the movie takes place after he got caught. So it's mostly court room stuff.
Zac Efron did a fine job portraying Ted Bundy. But that's about it.
Better watch the documentary series instead. Or if you want something "entertaining" try Ted Bundy (2002).

Finished watching this about an hour ago. I actually enjoyed it in that it was a different take on how these types of Serial Killer biopics usually go. I must admit I was sitting there at times thinking they haven't showed one murder yet and the script almost has you rooting for Bundy (that is if you didn't know the truth behind it all).

Thought Efron was very good in a totally different role for him. Spotted the little kid from A.I. instantly and also caught myself saying hey that's James from Metallica! Hahaha.

X-Men: The Last Stand

This movie gave us two decent things: Kelsey Grammer as Beast, and that unintentionally hilarious bit where Logan gets flung into a tree a la Evil Dead 2. Almost everything else is either bland or executed poorly. And if you know where to look, the mid production reshuffle of the plot is a bit obvious. It really should have just picked one of the two stories it was going for, instead of introducing Phoenix just to have her hang out at Mutant Burning Man in the woods and then stand around doing f**k all for most of the climax. Honestly, they should have dealt with the scheduling issues by just doing the Cure here to cull some characters, and saved Phoenix for X4.

Endgame
Hmmm. Not what I was expecting. Enjoyable but different. Very different. I'm still undecided how I would rate this film.

Spoiler
Whilst on one hand I welcomed the heavy exposition and character exploration I also felt a lot of it could be trimmed. Probably the first Marvel film where I actually felt the gravitas of the suffering of these characters. That's no slight on previous films but they were always somewhat fluffy and cartoonish to me - and as I said that's not a bad thing. The tone of this one was probably the darkest Marvel film to date. Need to see this one again to digest it all. Also whereas I never felt any shock or sadness at the end of Infinity War seeing Tony go was a very touching moment to round out Phase 3.
[close]

The more I think about this film the more things I like a lot more and some a whole lot less.
Spoiler
The Hulk was a big let down across both this and Infinity Wars to be honest. Even Fat Thor whilst funny seemed a shadow of his former glory (assuming that was the intention though). I feel the first hour had way too much exposition ... this film could've trimmed a lot of fat to be honest as some of the pacing was a bit off. Nit picking though as overall it was a very good film but I think I rank it behind Infinity Wars.

Still, it had a few moments.
Wouldn't mind a new one as long as Warwick Davis returns. And they can get a somewhat decent budget. I'd love to see a movie set at a music festival, either some hippie fest in the 60's or 70's, or else something like Coachella in the present.

Not unwatchably bad or anything, it's just not much. It tries to do so many things, but more or less ends up as an over two hours long origin story for how Xavier lost his hair. Oscar Isaac is cool, but Apocalypse is such a stupid villain it's hard to care. Everything about Magneto's arc in this feels off or out of place, and don't even get me started on how Charles lets the guy who willingly participated in wide scale death and destruction walk away scot free seriously what the f**k...

Logan is the only xmen film I can watch, likely because it's geared toward a more mature audience.

The scenes at the farmhouse where Xavier is talking to logan about life and then again right before he dies are just incredibly real and moving.

It's not all fun and jokes. It's about life, age, death, loss, change, regret, etc. I feel this makes it a much more relatable and powerful experience. We need more or that.

Logan's fantastic yes but;
It's even better with the context of the original
X-Men Trilogy, The Wolverine,
First Class and Days Of Future Past.

As for a "mature audience" -

Spoiler

Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

There is a fundamental difference between the preconceived notions of what adulthood will and should be, and what it actually is. The only way to learn the difference, is to grow older and let life do it's thing. This was Logan's strong point. It was honest. For once, he wasn't a bad ass with claws. He was a person, just like me.

One can still read fairytales, and recognize an honest and adult experience for what it is.

X-Men 1 and 2 were cool back in the day, but Bryan Singer has tainted them for me and I don't really have any desire to go back and watch. Last Stand was bland as shit. Origins was garbage. Really liked First Class and The Wolverine. Loved DofP when I saw it in the theater but haven't seen it since. Deadpool was awful. Haven't seen Apocalypse or Logan. Deadpool 2 was ok, better than the first at least, but I don't really care about this franchise/character.

I've dug up my original review on another forum:

Logan gets a lot of praise from filmgoers and critics alike, but in my opinion it's dull as dishwater. It's a super serious movie where Logan, Professor X and a psychic mutant are supposed to be the last mutants on earth. Yes, this is another X-Men movie that screws up the timeline. Prof X is dying and suffering from some brain disease which makes his powers uncontrollable and very dangerous if he doesn't take his pills. Wolverine is tired of everything and wants to die. They are on the run from a shady government organisation who wants to experiment on mutants. After a while they hide in a barn house with good people who, of course, all die. At the end there's a big fight with a Wolverine clone. Logan sacrifices himself so that the mutant kids can escape. That's it, that's the whole story. It's basically a retread of Origins: Wolverine and X2. It's also a very depressing, violent film, but the violence doesn't serve a purpose. It's just Wolverine and some cloned kid with the same powers slicing and dicing their way through some cardboard bad guys. The only good thing about this is the acting, although sad sack Logan gets annoying after a while. Yes, we know you are tired and grumpy and sad, but stop rubbing it in our faces! He also sleeps a lot. Because he's tired, depressed and grumpy and sad. 30 minutes of this movie alone is of Logan sleeping. In all honesty it's not really a bad movie, but it does feel pedestrian and unnecessary. I'd rather watch The Last Stand before suffering through this again.

I'm with P-Rock on Logan actually, IMO it's an unpleasant combination of nasty and dull. Then again, X1 is by far my favourite of the series, so what do I know.

Reservoir Dogs
Still a classic. Perfectly cast, i just cant picture James Woods in this at all

Highlander: Endgame
for all its faults, i still really enjoy this. Kell is a fantastic villain. It introduced Donnie Yen to Hollywood and its better than 2, 3 and 5

To chip in with my thoughts on Logan - I do think if you disregard the hard-R violence that fans had been clamouring for, it really wasn't a particularly memorable film. I enjoyed it well enough but it was by no means the masterpiece some people seem to say it is.

Snowpiercer: So, I know this makes me a peon, but I thought it was pants. I mean, I got to the end and all but was unsurprised by any of it. It was too heavy handed with its social commentary to be interesting and the "weird" stuff just didn't work for me.

Grant Morrision: Talking with Gods : Interesting documentary ... strange guy but it does kind of make you believe in his chaos magick stuff. Though I still think its 5% magick (or co-incidence), 5% opportunity and 90% hard work. But I would recommend it to anyone who's an "aspiring <insert poorly paid, thankless artistic endeavour here>" as its inspiring in its own way and I defy anyone who is a creator of sorts not to come away from it with "an idea for that comic I always wanted to do..."

Comix: Beyond the Comic Book Pages: Interesting feature length documentary on comics... nothing in there we didn't already know, but there's something comforting about that when you're hung-over

Rise of the Superheroes: Comic to film feature documentary... this was really good, if you've got amazon prime, do check it out, I really liked it.

I agree. For me it was a good film but probably the least enjoyable out of all the Wolverine films simply because it was such a depressing jaunt...

I'll admit that was a well constructed scene. It would be better if the Phoenix, you know, was the actual focus of the movie. As it stands that scene just sort of happens and the Cure plot moves on.

Also, it makes me laugh how everyone (including the cover of the Blu-ray itself) raves about how unexpected the "twist" at the end is - it is and always was obvious as f*ck. Still a great horror ending though.

From the few comics I did read, Wolverine's fighting was usually bloody. And he smoked more.
What we got, besides Logan, was a watered down version. When I think of Wolverine I kinda think of Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout, with the addition of some Hulk rage. Aside from the regeneration, skeleton and claws and stuff.
To clarify, I never been really into comic books so I don't consider myself a fan. But I can agree on fans' point of view. They grew up with it, bought the comics and are among the reasons the character got popular.

John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum

This was very good, full of great action, and it was cool getting to see Mark Dacascos on the big screen after so long. It's not as good as the first two, though, as there's a weird tangent in the middle that doesn't quite work, and the ending is a bit flat for me. Still very worth watching, if only to see how you can kill someone with a book.

It's weird how almost, uh grounded this is in comparison to the sequels. And I find it interesting just how casually Perkins breaks the Continental's rules considering what an epic shit storm ensues over John doing so in Chapter 2 and 3.

Also, it's a shame for us Wire fans that Lester Freamon and Cedric Daniels are both in this and never share a scene.

eXistenZ (1999) Nice one from Cronenberg about virtual reality game worlds, in a true Cronenberg style. Lots of body horror, although you can't really say it's a horror movie. It's more of a sci-fi mystery. Good acting too, and the ending is hilarious. Sometimes it's a bit too heavy on the pseudo-intellectual video game babble though. 7/10

Good first half then takes a different route ... and then not so good  :-\ Even having the young boy look like the young kid in the original film was to throw everybody off guard. Using the young girl as the character in question who gets hit by the truck was interesting but then it descends into a stock standard affair ... that ending was terrible.

Never Back Down 1 and 2. It's basically Beverley Hills 90210 with MMA fights, but damn if I didn't enjoy the shit out of these movies. I know its shameful to admit, but there you are.

Also watched "Tapped Out" with Michael Biehn as a karate instructor teaching (another 90210 model) the way of the fist. We all love Michael but I'm not sure if he still (or ever?) trained in martial arts - it didn't look great in the film. I feel bad for saying that. The film was a actually pretty good. The lead's parents are killed and years later he sees the guy in an illegal mma fight. BUT - instead of instantly joining the illegal fight club, the dude actually goes to the cops (they're rubbish of course). I thought this was a nice touch of realism in a typical genre film. I really liked it.

"The Bouncer" with Jean Claude Van Damme. Not what you'd expect from a JCVD movie. Its set in actual Belgium and not "random euro city with great movie tax breaks acting as USA" and its really very much a European film. It's grim, downbeat and a bit depressing...

...In a good way - recommended.

Half Past Dead
Probably one of the last enjoyable Seagal films, mainly because of the cast around him

Guardians of the Galaxy
Still absolute fun. Although after Infinity War, you gotta think about whats happened to the characters on Nova

The Incredible Hulk
Norton made a good Banner/Hulk. Shame he and the studio got into issues. would have been interesting to see his take in Avengers Assemble. They may have gone for the Hulk being the Bad Guy story

Justice League
Enjoyable. But in really want to see the Snyder Cut now

Blockers
Funny as hell. Cena rules at comedy

Godzilla (2014)
A great film, although Cranston should have been in it for a whole lot longer

The Monster Squad
Hadnt seen this in years and forgot how short it is

Galaxy Quest
By Grabthar's Hammer...........what a savings

Naked Space (The Creature wasnt Nice)
Absolute Crap. You have Leslie Nielsen and Patrick Macnee in a film and yet its this pile of rubbish?

The Runestone
Found a better copy on Youtube. Great Monster film

He didn't do much Karateing in it - lost of close ups and a punch-parry drill. Michael was one of the producers - and IMDB also tells me that the star came up with the story idea... pretty good (he's a proper martial artist... with 902010 looks).

In the wake of the sad passing of Niki Lauda, I gave Rush a rewatch.

Brawl in Cell Block 99.

I thought it over-sold the brawl part... it seemed to take a long time to get to. It was a strange movie... it was like two films stitched together that weren't supposed to go together.

One is a crime drama about an essentially decent man who's pulled back into a life of crime because society won't cut him a break... and then the other an ultra-violent, over the top, one man wrecking ball kicking the shit out of everyone.

I liked it - don't get me wrong - I thought it was really entertaining, but I'm not sure I would watch it again... the fights were very violent, but the choreography had a slow / stilted look to it. I get these were supposed to be real brawl style... but it just didn't work for me - I guess Vince Vaughan isn't and never has been a fighter (then again, nor has Matt Damon or Daniel Craig)...

I dunno - for a film with "Brawl" in the title the brawls weren't that great... it was almost as if they were hoping that the violent outcomes would obfuscate the dodgy choreography?

Which was the case in "Brawl" - I mean, we really "got" why Bradley was doing what he was doing and we cared... but I think we'd have cared anyway with 15-20 mins less set up.

On the other hand, I like that he broke the rules and just let the film grow...

Prisoners

I didn't know this was Villeneuve until his name appeared in the end credits, but as soon as it did I realised of course it was. Great movie, really has you asking some uncomfortable questions. Gyllenhaal in particular was fantastic.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage

Been a while since I've seen a mainstream film this mental and incomprehensible. I especially liked the bit where the villain just instantaneously switched sides. Like there wasn't even a brief shot of him with a look of conflict on his face or anything, he just suddenly decided he was on Vin Diesel's side right in the middle of a chase scene.

John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum 

Picking up exactly where John Wick Chapter 2 left off, Wick finds himself hunted by his esteemed assassin colleagues. Ok, this movie is f**king crazy. Like, off the wall nuts. The gunfights, the fistfights, the knife fights, all beautifully choreographed into a deadly ballet of death. These movies never disappoint in the the entertainment department. And Chapter 3 delivers the goods. Chapter 3 delves deep into the John Wick mythology and gives a better insight into the assassin's guild that Wick is a part of, and the established rules. One of the things I like about these movies, is the cast they pull together. You never know who's going to show up. Angelica Houston, Jerome Flynn, Mark Dacascos, Halle Barry, Robin Lord Taylor etc.

This was underwhelming. It has a strong third act, and the bits of nearly Fulci level gore were cool, but the setup is weak. I didn't buy the kid turning evil at all, really.

High School High (1996)
From the Naked Gun writer, starring  Jon Lovitz, Tia Carrere and that lady who played nurse Ratched.
Decent parody on movies like Dangerous Minds and other "teacher who arrives at ghetto school and gets kids to learn" flicks.

I miss quality parodies. It's a lost art.

Every saga has a beginning. And unfortunately it's a shit one to boot. I wouldn't call this great film making in the slightest. Nor would I even call Lucas an accomplished director. This is, at the end of the day, a kids movie with political jargon thrown in to not completely detract from how cheesy and awful this film is at times.

I really enjoyed The Winter Solider, but it was hurt for me by the fact that, for a film with Winter Soldier in the title, he barely featured and we really didn't learn f*ck-all about what he was up to. It also had one of those terrible just-stop-in-the-middle-of-a-scene "cliffhanger" endings that I so hate.

I liked the fact that we didn't learn a lot, and the tragic light it cast him in.  I think what might lessen it is that Civil War kind of dropped the ball somewhat by forcing almost all of Bucky's story into the middle of the Accords story line.  Civil War is in my top three comic books of all time, just behind Death of Superman and The Dark Knight Returns.  Though I have softened on my opinion of the movie, Civil War was the biggest let down because they had so much potential to work with and it felt like they were cramming all of that in together with Bucky's struggle.  I enjoy it more now, especially because of the dialogue, and Evans and Downey Jr are excellent.  But compared to the source material, it just fell a little flat. 

Spoiler
Not to mention, the whole Bucky caught on camera scene feels too convenient

I never found it as a cliffhanger, nor was left with The Winter Soldier being an unresolved antagonist. We learned that Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD starting from the top with Alexander Pierce, they had coopted Bucky and made him a villian called the TWS, and they planned to exterminate all threats based on Zola's data-mining algorithm. Their plan was foiled, the Hydra run SHIELD was stopped, exposed and arrests were made, Steve got through to Bucky and subsequently saved by him, and Alexander Pierce was killed.

Just because Bucky went into hiding when the dust settled and Steve wants to go look for him, I never classified that tease as a cliffhanger in my opinion.

I have no problem someone making this criticism, but knowing you called BvS a "masterpiece", a film that excessively crammed much more than Civil War ever did, it's hard to see where coming from without some critical  consistency.

Overall, I do agree with you. But since the adaptation of the comic storyline with Bucky was a cramming problem for LSOK in Civil War, I was just curious why the same critical foul didn't exist for him in BvS.

It's all just friendly discussion. :)

Ah.  Because to me BvS didn't feel crammed.  Perhaps crammed was the wrong word to use for Civil War.  I meant that the accords themselves were enough to cause conflict but it felt pushed aside to focus more on Steve and Tony's conflict over Bucky.  This was after my first time watching the movie.  But with further viewings I'm really starting to like it more now.  It's the same with Endgame, I picked up on a few things I missed with more viewings.

Godzilla Raids Again

I've figured out my big problem with this one. The first half is pretty good, but after the Anguirus fight in Osaka it drags like crazy for the last forty minutes. The climax is less than exciting as well, which was doesn't help.

King Kong vs Godzilla

Crazy fun, even in the oh so obviously chopped American version. Hearing music from Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Wolf-Man over scenes of Godzilla and Kong is the best crossover nobody knew they wanted. Also, "It's okay, they're all smoking!" :laugh:

Mothra vs Godzilla

The film where learns Godzilla's greatest weakness: double bukkake. ;D Seriously though, this one is really solid. And this was my first time watching the Japanese cut. The English version really only rearranged one scene, and it works just fine either way.

Son of Godzilla

Honestly not a bad movie at all. It feels slightly padded out to hit that 86 minute mark, but otherwise it's a decent watch.

Already watched Destroy All Monsters not long ago and don't feel like watching the... thing that came after it so I'm skipping ahead to...

Godzilla vs Hedorah

Absolutely insane, which makes it really interesting to watch. I'm not really a fan of the trumpet theme for Godzilla in this, though.

Godzilla vs Gigan

I've heard for years how the Japanese version had speech bubbles for the monster talking bits, but I guess either that was a myth or that stuff is lost. I'm also kind of disappointed that the bit with Gengo calling his girlfriend a bitch was dub only. :laugh:

He may not be the household name his brother is, but he directed True Romance, which is one of my absolute favourite movies of all time.

The MPAA seemingly had some kind of vendetta against Stallone in the 80s and 90s. Tango & Cash, Cobra, Demolition Man and Cliffhanger were all massively cut down during post-production, largely to tone down their violence. Demolition Man in particular had some major character deaths totally deleted from the film as a result.

Still, he got them back with Rambo (4), which is just insanely violent.

Godzilla 1984

Pretty enjoyable, more serious update of the character. Well, aside from the goofy pop song at the end. :laugh:

Godzilla vs Biollante

Good second outing. I could do without the half hearted mystical element and the all but impenetrable Engrish bits, but other than it's very watchable.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah

The time travel plot is bonkers and makes zero sense, and the super speed effects are notably bad next to everything else, but it all somehow works thanks to sheer entertainment value.

Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth

The new mythology around Mothra is interesting, and Battra is a cool addition, but the rest of the movie is less than spectacular. That being said, Godzilla swimming through Magma and popping out of a volcano is pretty badass.

Yeah, it stands as one of the most fun experiences I've ever had watching a movie.

And I managed to dig up my essay on it ;D

Spoiler
Oh good Lord, where do I start with this... OK, I'm gonna try and explain the plot of this to anyone who's never seen it. This may take a while.

Right, so some future dudes come back from the future in a UFO and tell Japan that in their time, Japan has been completely wiped out by Godzilla. Being nice guys, they offer to go back in time and stop Godzilla from ever being created to spare them this fate. Our main characters tag along with them and the group travels back to a small Pacific island during WWII. They get rid of the dinosaur living there – the one that would ultimately become Godzilla – but not before it saves some honourable Japanese soldiers from the evil invading Americans (yes, that happens). They teleport the dinosaur under the polar ice cap (because just killing it would be too hard, I guess) to stop him getting inadvertently nuked and becoming a monster, but before leaving the future people sneakily dump three little mutant Furby dragons on the island.

Upon returning to the present, our heroes discover the mutant Furbies have been turned into King Ghidorah by the same nuclear testing that originally created Godzilla, and the future people (who are somehow able to control him) are using him to smash the shit out of Japan. Turns out those naughty future people lied – in their time Japan is actually an economic megapower that basically rules the world, and they hijacked the time machine to come back and destroy them in the past... or something. Not sure why they bothered to enlist the help of the present-day Japanese in this endeavour, rather than just doing it themselves. But anyway, the future dudes are undone when their Japanese team-member (who was apparently fine with this scheme until now) has a change of heart and betrays them. She hatches a plan with the Japanese government to re-create Godzilla using a nuclear submarine they aren't supposed to have in the hopes he will destroy King Ghidorah.

Our heroes are chased by a future android dispatched by the future dudes to stop them, and there's also heavy use of jetpacks to ensure all the sci-fi checkboxes are ticked. The future defector is captured by the android and taken back to the UFO, but her former cohorts apparently elect not to restrain her in any way following her treachery, and thus she promptly reprograms the future android to help her and immediately resumes her plan to save the day.

Before the plan to resurrect Godzilla with nuclear missiles (best sentence ever) can be carried out, it is revealed that he has in fact already been created (again) because a Russian nuclear sub just happened to crash in the exact same spot where the future people had dumped the dinosaur in the past (again begging the question why they didn't just kill it). Godzilla heads to a Ghidorah-ravaged Japan and monster smackdowns ensue. Godzilla gets his ass handed to him until the heroes and the future defector, along with the future android, sabotage the future people's UFO, leaving them unable to control King Ghidorah. King Ghidorah is defeated, and the evil future people are killed by Godzilla. The end, right?

Nope. Godzilla now turns on Japan and begins f*cking shit up big time. So the future defector goes back to the future (where apparently the plan to destroy Japan has been abandoned), finds King Ghidorah's corpse, turns him into Mecha-King Ghidora (shan't ask how that works) and pilots him back in time to fight Godzilla in the ruins of present-day Tokyo. More questions, such as why didn't you travel back to a point before Godzilla trashed half of Japan, arise. Mecha-King Ghidorah eventually emerges from the brawl victorious, crashing into the ocean and taking Godzilla with him. Future heroine returns to her own time, but not before telling one of our heroes she is in fact a descendant of his in an apparently emotional plot twist that adds precisely nothing to the film.

And all that shit happens in one movie.

Seriously, you owe it to yourself to watch this clusterf*ck. Despite only being an hour and forty-five long, with all the shit going on it feels like a three-hour epic. There's so much crazy – the future android in particular is absolutely hysterical pretty much any time it's on screen – and the Swiss-cheese script has plot holes the size of Nebraska. Add to that those classic Godzilla model effects that manage to be both very impressive and utterly terrible all at the same time and you're onto a winner.

I don't even know what score to give this. But it's best taken with a healthy dose of alcohol.

Did I mention the future people are called Futurians?

It's just such a great series with amazing acting, interesting characters, excellent dialogue, dry wit,...
Ian McShane's performance alone makes it worth watching. He's old school Oscar worthy through the entire series.
Talking about all this is making me want to watch it all again  ;D

Wouldn't watch the movie if I was you. It's pretty weak compared to the series. And it's like you need to watch if for closure.
Could've worked as a series finale (with a little re-writing) if it didn't take place 10 years after the events of the last episode. And if we didn't had to wait more than 10 years to see it.

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/a6/18/CVNj4ZqL_t.jpg) (http://'http://imgbox.com/CVNj4ZqL')

Wasn't really planning on seeing this one, but a friend invited me out for dinner and a movie, so here we are.

Boring, for the most part. I'm sad to say that Sophie Turner lacks the talent to carry the film, especially when struggling with an American accent as well. She's at her best when there are no lines and she get to deliver with her facial expressions alone. In those moments she gets the chance to really shine. But the film lacks a compelling lead and there's not much else to back it up either. Jessica Chastain is a fine actress, that much I know. She's wasted here, on a utterly boring and one dimensional villain.

Even the action doesn't do much for me. There is the occasional scene spread throughout the film, but for most part it lacks any imagination. The whole thing feels... muted. Like it takes place in a bubble where no sound or emotion is allowed to really burst free. I don't know if it was my cinema or if the sound design was really lacking here, but I definitely had an issue with it.  I did enjoy seeing the Phoenix force unleashed however.

Several moments that were supposed to be emotional and/or heartbreaking failed to elicit much of a response from me, sad to say.

I'll just watch The Last Stand the next time.

Godzilla vs Destroyah

A more than fitting send off for the Heisei era of Godzilla. It ever so slightly trips at the finish, what with the freaking military finishing off the bad guy, but other than that I have no complaints. Oh, and Kazuki Omori once again rips off other movies for his script, but the Aliens inspiration is much less blatant than the stuff from his other movies was.

Godzilla 2000

Not perfect, but I still enjoy this one a lot. It helps it's the only Toho Godzilla I got to see on a big screen, and that's in spite of the endless shit I've gotten from my family over dragging them out to go see it ever since. :laugh: This was my first time watching the Japanese version, but I think I prefer the dub.

Godzilla vs Megaguirus

This is just bland and not much to write home about. Megaguirus is a decent "new" monster, and Godzilla pulling out a wrestling move in the finale is kind of awesome, but the rest of it is just forgettable. I mean, apart from the plan to get rid of Godzilla being insanely stupid. Sadly, the line about Godzilla's butt hole is dub only. :laugh:

Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack

One of my favorites. It's an interesting, unique take on the series that actually does the mystical elements right while touching on some tough subject matter. And Godzilla's look is just badass here.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla

This one is... okay. The idea of Kiryu isn't bad, just not implemented all that well. I honestly found the human drama with Akane more engaging than the monster action. Shame she's barely in the sequel...

Godzilla: Tokyo SOS

An underwhelming sequel. It's basically the last one all over again, just with worse characters and more poorly implemented ideas, only now with a startlingly dogmatic and blood thirsty Mothra thrown into the mix.

Deep Rising
A fantastic B-Movie. Fun to watch every time and what a cast.  "Now What"

Monkey Shines
A brilliant Romero film, Deserves more love. Although i do prefer the Original ending to the Theatrical version. It just has that extra sting

The Horror Network
An intriguing Anthology film. A lot different to what i was expecting

X-Men: Dark Phoenix
A better retelling of the story than Last Stand but still not the greatest. Although wraps things up nicely

Honestly one of my all-time favourite movies. So many great lines.

"Like a fine wine, I'm ageing gracefully, thank you."
"We got a contract: 20 hours out and back. You beat my engine man to death, it's gonna take a hell of a lot longer, which is OK by me since overtime'll run you double rate."
"OK, I'll say it one more time for the hearing impaired..."
"'If the cash is there, we do not care.' What kinda life philosophy is that, man?!"
"YOU MEAN WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE YOU SCREWED UP ON THE MATH?!"
"This is turning out to be one hell of a day..."
"What're you lookin' at?"

John Wick: Meh.

Dunkirk: Boring, chaotically structured trash. Well shot, but that is it. At least is not over 2 hours.

Johhny Mneumonic: Bizarre 1995 science fiction movie with Keanu Reeves, is a mess but entertainning.

Dark Phoenix: Besides the studio ruining the movie with reshoots and removing footage, not bad at all. At least is not as dissapointing as Endgame.

Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)
Despite a good performance by Stellan Skarsgård, the biggest sin this Exorcist prequel makes is that it's just not scary and very paint-by-numbers. 5/10

Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist (2005)
The original prequel, before it got shelved by the studio. It follows the same story as The Beginning with almost the same cast & crew, but it's an entirely different movie. Schrader's version focuses more on the spiritual side of loss of faith and demonic possession. It's a far more interesting movie, although it drags in places and the cgi is horrible. 6/10

The Exorcist III (1990)
Interesting psychological horror movie about a tired policeman who chases, quite literally, a ghost. This ghost commits gruesome murders through mentally insane people in a psychiatric ward. For a horror movie it's quite tame. They never show us the gruesome details of the murders, for instance. It's more interested in the search for reason and psychological mind games. 7/10

Lu Over The Wall (2017)
Cute anime about a music loving mermaid who befriends a couple of high schoolers who started a band. It's a bit like Ponyo, with a dash of Panda! Go, Panda!. Knowing it's the director of Mind Game, this could've been a lot crazier. 7/10

Norwegian Wood (2010)
Beautiful, yet very depressing and slow paced movie about a student caught up in a love triangle after his best friend kills himself. Great acting and cinematography. 8/10

I really enjoyed this movie. Some might even say it's a return to form for Gilliam. It took a while to get to the point and the final part is a bit messy, buit other than that it's a very funny, sad and fantastical movie with its heart in the right place. Jonathan Pryce is brilliant as Don Quixote, Adam Driver very good as the cocky Toby/Sancho Panza and Joana Ribeiro looks like a young Rachel Weisz. It took Gilliam several attempts over the years to succesfully finish Quixote, but the result gets two thumbs up from me. 8/10

I believe what you're looking at is localized unfortunately. Where comedy duos like Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Cheech & Chong, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor are culturally important here, Terrence Hill & Bud Spencer have no relevance in the United States in regards to comedy teams, other than the few who seek out "foreign cinema".

You talk about missing out on stuff but you wouldn't watch any of my recommendations unless I watch one of yours.

You act all like "What??" when someone hasn't seen a certain movie. Because I guess you find it important for a movie lover to have seen it.
So I assume you consider yourself a movie lover. And it's why I find you should check out a movie with a certain comedy duo.
Know you'd probably reply with "You haven't seen that movie, so I won't watch any of the other ones."
That movie being 2001 part 2. Which in general isn't as "important" in the whole movie culture compared to the impact of Terence Hill & Bud Spencer movies.

Baron brother. I don't even bring 2010 up anymore. It doesn't bother me that you don't want to watch it. Truly it doesn't. But you seem to like bringing 2010 up yourself, as well as Terrence Hill & Bud Spencer movies yourself, and continue a debate on why one of us should watch a recommended film while the other one shouldn't in a dispute I'm not even participating in anymore. It's all cool. Live and let live brother! Watch what you want!

And HuDaFuk offered "I've still not seen There Will be Blood!" to the conversation and as a fan, and a friend,  and his apparent intention to one day see it, all I said is what?? and inserted a Dutch "do it now!" gif. But if he doesn't watch it, I will still like him just as much, as I do you.  :)

A fun Rock movie. You can still tell little its when it was meant to have been a straight Judas Priest Bio. But some great songs. And i forgot Myles Kennedy was in it

Steel Panther's Michael Starr has a small part too.
I think it's near the end when Mark Wahlberg arrives at the studio and they just tried out a new singer. That's Michael Starr.



I never noticed that. Lol

Princess Mononoke (1997) A bit disappointing and overrated actually. The animation and soundtrack are amazing, probably one of Joe Hisaishi's best Ghibli scores, but the story is too vague. Most characters are flat as cardboard and most of the time you don't have a clue what their motivations are to behave the way they do. The eco-message that Miyazaki likes to rub in our faces didn't really bother me though. Another thing that I didn't expect was that's it's pretty violent for a Ghibli movie, with plenty of blood and body parts flying around. 7/10

The romance and humor was on point. I loved the chemistry between Peter and Michelle. The whole Betty and Ned thing was cute as well. Overall the movie was a lot of fun, traveling across Europe and fighting bad guys. Gyllenhaal was excellent as Mysterio, though I'm a little bit disappointed with some of the choices.

Spirited Away (2001) It's been ages since I've seen this so I was afraid it would've lost the magic of seeing it for the first time, but it's still a fantastic movie and a treat for the ears and eyes. Sure, sometimes Miyazaki makes things up as they go along, but it really didn't bother me. Not like how it bothered me in Princess Mononoke for example. Yeah, one of his better (if not best) movies.

Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
Another enjoyable anime from the Ghilbli grandmaster Hayao Miyazaki and based on a British fantasy novel. As always the animation and music is top notch and it's a joy to watch because of all the colorful characters. Because of the production problems it faced the story does have a couple of loose ends which don't get solved in a satisfying way and especially the second half of the movie feels rushed. Still better than Disney though. 8/10

Pom Poko (1994)
Directed by Isao Takahata, who co-founded Studio Ghibli and also directed the post war animated classic Grave of the Fireflies. Pom Poko is a moving tale about magical raccoons who can shape-shift and use their powers to scare humans so they won't keep destroying their forest homes. It's a funny and sad story (if not a little preachy) and does make you think about the impact we have on forest animals if we keep expanding. Sometimes it drags a bit, but it's got its heart in the right place and carries a clear message. 7/10

The first one is brilliant but I didn't like the second one as much... I don't know if that's cos I watched them a day apart and the comparison was too fresh or that it just isn't that great (I'm leaning towards the latter).

The Cat Returns (2002)
After the highly praised Spirited Away Studio Ghibli's next production is a much lower key affair, clearly aimed at a younger market. The Cat Returns has a very simple story about a girl who saves a cat prince and then is forced to marry him by his cat dad and who abducts her to his cat kingdom. Luckily for her there's the Baron (who first appeared in Whisper Of The Heart) who sets up a rescue party. It feels more like a really long episode of a TV show rather than a movie. The characters are somewhat developed but because of the short runtime everything feels a bit rushed. It's still a very cute little movie which will please young children and cat lovers alike. 6/10

Tales From Earthsea (2006)
The big problem with Tales From Earthsea is that they have tried to cram three books into a 2-hour movie. A lot of the background story gets lost in translation because of that. It's quite a puzzling move, because the average viewer who hasn't read the books will have no clue what characters are talking about most of the time and especially the ending will leave you puzzled. The main plot though isn't hard to follow and it's your typical fantasy story about good and evil wizards and facing your fears. As always with Ghibli the animation is rich and colorful and the music was compelling. For a debut movie Goro Miyazaki could've done a lot worse and I don't really get why this movie is disliked so much. I guess it has something to do with all those disgruntled Earthsea readers. 7/10

The Godfather Part II

I've really never understood why so many people think this is better than the first. The original's far superior if you ask me. In comparison this doesn't really feel like it goes anywhere that substantial, and spends too much time simply retreading things already done in the previous film. Granted the facts it's both a prequel and a sequel is really interesting, but I've always thought the two storylines detract from one another rather than complimenting each other.

As an aside, I totally forgot Harry Dean Stanton was in this.

I wouldn't go as far as saying boring as hell, but I definitely find it a bit of a slog compared to the first one, and you're right in saying it's mostly the 1950s stuff that's to blame.

The real controversy is I remember liking Part III a lot more :P Looking forward to seeing that again to confirm.

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
One of the most depressive and saddest animated movies I have ever seen. A true emotional journey which will leave many in tears at the end. It's about two children who lose their mother and home in an air raid in WW2 Japan and have to survive on their own. The fact that's it's based on true events (the writer wrote the story because he felt responsible for the death of his sister in WW2) makes this an even sadder story. The animation is rough but detailed and the soundtrack tugs at the heartstrings. One of the best (anti-)war movies ever made. 10/10

From Up On Poppy Hill (2011)
Goro Miyazaki's second movie for Ghibli is a somewhat predictable coming-of-age teen romance about two students who want to save their clubhouse from demolition and in the process fall in love with each other. Their friendship takes a hit when they discover that they might be siblings. This time Goro got help from his dad, who wrote the screenplay. It's a very enjoyable watch, with gorgeous animation and a jazzy, up-tempo soundtrack. Of course you know that it will end on a happy note, but the movie will still keep you glued to your seat. 8/10

The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)
The Castle Of Cagliostro is the grand debut of Ghibli maestro Hayao Miyazaki. So far I have only seen the live-action movie by Ryuhei Kitamura, which I've enjoyed very much. Lupin III is a so-called gentleman thief who discovers that the money he stole from a casino is counterfeit. He tracks it down towards the castle of Cagliostro, where a young woman is held hostage against her will and who is forced to marry the evil count. This movie made me think of James Bond, but with a lot more comedy. Lupin himself often acts like a kid, but is irresistibly charming at the same time. The animation is pretty rough, but the backgrounds are very detailed and the soundtrack is fantastic. A highly entertaining watch. 8/10

I like II a lot, but the plot gets crazy convoluted (the Senate hearings come out of nowhere, for example). III, on the other hand, is a lot better than it gets credited for, but still has quite a few problems. I kinda sorta would have liked to see the Andy Garcia-focused Godfather IV that Paramount had planned for a while there.

Spider-Man Far From Home: I really enjoyed this one, not going to say much as to not spoil anything for anyone who wants to see it but it's worth a watch.

Alien Resurrection (Extended Version): I'd actually never seen this version of the film before until yesterday, have to say I like this one more than the original. Never liked the opening credits scene in the original film for starters. It doesn't really add too many scenes though from how it looks. There's a bit more character interactions here and there but still not enough for me to care about the characters that end up getting killed off.

Alien 3 Assembly Cut: Have to say I can't decide between which version of Alien 3 I like more, Honestly like both equally as I never really disliked Alien 3 from the get go. I will say for sure I liked the original ending a bit more for some reason. Just seeing Ripley holding down the queen burster was something that I actually liked for some reason.

The Mummy (1999): I remember really enjoying this one when I was younger and my opinions haven't changed, it's just I enjoy it more now since I finally understand the story of the film better (When I was younger I wasn't good at following the story in any movie). I like Fraser as an actor and he does pretty well for his character Rick O'Connell just that in other films I can't tell his characters apart sometimes (Like Jeff Goldblum when he's not playing Ian Malcolm)

I Googled a bit and it's supposed to be about Sean Bean's role being expanded. He was only supposed to show up in the beginning and the end of the movie, but the studio pushed for more screen presence because it was an 'all-female movie'.

I don't mind the subplot of Bean searching for his wife and discovering stuff about Silent Hill. I've never played the games so it's good to get some information through Christopher about the history of the town.

This film has more in common with The Witch and The Wicker Man than Heriditary?

Yeah i'd say thats about right.



The Girl in the Spider's Web
Was enjoyable in places, but felt for the most part that, a lot of it was cut. Even reading to brief plot synopsis of the book, shows that they really just took the name and a few basic points from the book.

The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)
First viewing ever. Pretty good movie with a solid Mickey Rourke and one of the best performances I saw by Eric Roberts.

Fisherman's Friends (2019)
About a guy discovering and trying to manage a band of fishermen from Cornwall who sing sea shanties.
Nice sorta feel good movie. Not great and a bit predictable but not bad either.

Hellboy (2019)
Messy plot and some wonky cgi, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. David Harbour is a good Hellboy replacement. 6.5/10

Fritz The Cat (1972)
A cartoon for (and by) hippies. Sex, violence, drug abuse, corrupt cops, nazi's... All imagined as big LSD trip from start to finish. 6/10

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)
Teen witch starts a delivery service after moving to a new town. Another very enjoyable Ghibli movie with great animation. 8/10

Silent Hill: Revelations

... about what you'd expect :-X

Leon: The Professional

Forgive me father but I have sinned; I hadn't seen this until now. Great film, maybe a little flabby around the middle, wonderfully uncomfortable in all the right places. Feel really bad for the set department having to rebuild and redress every set after Garry Oldman finished eating them in his performance, but good God is it great to watch.

Went on a found footage binge:

V/H/S

If you're like me and sometimes find yourself looking up creepy videos on YouTube late at night, this'll be right up your alley. A bit too long, and two of the five shorts should've been cut, but I really got into the mood of the film and enjoyed it quite a bit. Only one of the shorts made me question why they were still filming -- the others came up with good enough conceits to explain why the camera was rolling (usually due to a wearable camera, such as glasses or a nanny cam).

V/H/S 2

Wanted to turn it off after the first short, but persisted because I heard the third one was great. It was -- but the first and third shorts really stretched the found footage. The first film was pretty grounded in the found-footage aspect, but the first short here is a dude with a cyborg eye. The third short is pieced together from documentary footage and really might as well have been shot normally for all the "found footage" aspect did.

V/H/S Viral

Honestly didn't make it to the first short.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes

I liked the concept. I thought it was one of the better conceits for a found footage film. The VHS effect they applied to the footage was horribly overdone and drew far too much attention to itself. The more obscene the movie tried to get, the more ridiculous it was. But some of the scenes were wonderfully composed nightmare fuel, so props to it.

The Matrix (20th Anniversary Re-Release)
Still a fantastic film, most of the effects still hold up. Great to finally see it on the big screen. I'd forgotten how some of the lines are a bit on the nose

Jaws
Amazing being able to watch this on the Big Screen. I'd forgotten how quickly some things happened and the 3 man hunt was literally the whole final hour

Matrix Reloaded
Some great effects in this and some story elements are actually closely linked to stuff from the first film. Could cut at least 30 minutes from it though

Could probably cut about 2/3rds of Reloaded to make an edit like that work. A lot of its key plot points happen off-screen or so quickly that they're hard to take in, and the big action scenes that comprise so much of the runtime aren't particularly story-critical. The repetition of its opening scene has always bugged me as a particular waste of time.

However... Revolutions does benefit enormously from the epic-factor of resolving two films rather than one. I don't think we'd have such an emotional hit from Trinity's last scene if she'd only been together with Neo for half a film, for example.

Did Revolutions actually resolve anything? All I really remember is an endless mech battle, a silly DBZ style fight, and a giant baby.

I've often heard it said this is his best film, but personally I think Hard Target shits all over it. To be honest, I find this kinda generic and dull on the action front.

Also, for a movie where virtually every character understands how changing the past can affect the present, everyone sure seems to have a hard time comprehending whenever changes in the past affect the present.

A bit like Bullitt, I feel as though this is mostly known for its car chase, and that's really unfair because it's a cracking movie all-round. Mind you, it is a great chase. Car vs. elevated train was such a genius idea.

Also like Bullitt, I get the impression this was way ahead of its time stylistically. It's got a very modern, almost documentary-like feel to it. Hackman and Schieder are excellent together. Love the ambiguous ending too.

Nosferatu

A silent classic that definitely holds up, with a fantastic main monster. The older Image DVD I have also comes with a brilliant score by The Silent Orchestra, which sadly hasn't been reused on any blu-ray editions.

House (1977)

One of the craziest, most entertainingly insane films you will ever see. Seriously, I can't even begin to describe it. It's easily the weirdest movie Toho ever released, and they made f**king Godzilla vs Hedorah. :laugh:

Nosferatu: The Vampyre

Warcraft - I enjoyed that film (not sure how authentic to the source material it is).

2010 - underrated as well. It's far more accessible than the first film (which was far more cerebral and slow burn). I think the cast put in excellent performances.

The Revenant

Finally got to see this film. WOW. Absolutely brutally beautiful.

Give Inarritu (the director) a shot at an Alien survival film please.

Dracula 3D (2012) Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Sometimes I get the feeling that Dario Argento (director of classic horror movies Suspiria, Deep Red and Phenomena) only keeps making movies so he can get his daughter naked. It very obviously tries to mimic a Hammer Horror, but it fails on almost all fronts. The wooden acting (even the usually reliable Rutger Hauer sleepwalks through his role), the cheap looking cinematography, the terrible cgi... The scene where Dracula, in the form of a giant cgi praying mantis, comes up the stairs has to been seen to be believed. Only the music by Argento's regular composer Claudio Simonetti is good. I think this movie would've worked a bit better if it was in black and white instead of color, because then you would have the feeling it's an intentional schlockfest. 4/10

John Hurt successfully carries this odd little film. It's too bad Raul Julia was so restrained, though, and the Monster here is really goddamn goofy. And the weird meta subplot with Mary Shelley felt tacked on and random.

Wound up unintentionally celebrating Laurence Fishburne's birthday yesterday with a double bill.

Hoodlum

Decent enough but by no means great gangster film. Bonus points for being directed by Mac from Predator but it feels overly long in places and the budget occasionally shows. Tim Roth is clearly having a riot as the psychotic Dutch Schultz though. Also really liked how the hero ultimately had no physical involvement in killing the villain. In fact, I'm pretty sure they only ever met twice and both times were in the first half of the movie. That was refreshingly different.

Event Horizon

It's such a shame the final act of this doesn't live up to the promise of the first two. You can literally pinpoint the moment things take a downturn - right after the Lewis & Clark blows up. Still, disappointingly conventional finale aside, this remains a cracking movie. Fishburne is great in the lead role, it's probably my favourite performance of his. I especially love when they finally uncover the video showing what happened to the original crew, and after you're subjected to 30 seconds of unspeakably horrific mutilation and murder he just switches it off and deadpans, "We're leaving." Cracks me up every time. The bit where Sam Neill explains the gravity drive by poking a pen through a centrefold is another memorable highlight.

Easily Anderson's best movie. It's a shame his AVP wasn't more in line with this.

Thought the only lost footage was a longer scene of what happened to the old crew.

I agree with the less is more appraisal as far as the gore scenes go - they were famously trimmed a lot, but I've never really thought they needed to be more graphic than they are in the theatrical cut. But supposedly a lot of other stuff was taken out too, including more development for the supporting cast that reveals their big fears. Anderson's always said the original rough cut was too long and needed trimming, but he's also adamant in their rush to meet the release date they cut it down too much and it would've benefited from having some of the stuff put back in.

The thing is, other than the original Alien, horror movies don't scare me, and I find that 99% of the time if you're not being scared there's not a lot of point to the movie.

Event Horizon doesn't scare me. But I like it because it feels unique, has a wonderful design aesthetic, and features great performances from two actors I really like.

Most horror movies don't scare me. They are too often simply jump scares galore. All I can hope for is a few horror movies that geniunely creep me out. A couple recent ones I can think of is The Babadook and Sinster that accomplished this, but real good ones that get to me are usually few and far between.

I watch horror to be entertained, humoured or intrigued.
The scare factor is long gone. I think once you get to a certain age, movies aren't scary anymore unless they happen to involve a personal phobia. Even then it's more icky or uncomfortable than scary.
And I'm not counting jump scares

What do you think about movies like Feast, Re-Animator, Piranha 3(D), Deathgasm,...?

Excellent survival drama where Mads Mikkelsen has crashed his plane on the North Pole and is waiting for help. The rescue party eventually arrives but the helicopter crashes. Now he and a wounded woman who survived have to take on the harsh weather, slippery mountains and a hungry polar bear, while they embark on a deadly trek through the unknown in hopes of making it out alive. Great acting by Mads and not too long (90+ mins.). If you enjoyed The Revenant, All Is Lost and Cast Away you'll have a good time with this. 8/10

Haha no joke. I had to run a few miles of cables in a building once and crawling in the suspended ceiling and between walls definitely had me a little creeped out. I have a bit of anxiety in ducts and tunnels like that because of the movies. It didn't help that it was security ceiling tiles and it was eerily remniscient of the Alien series.

Also, I live where the Mothman legend is from. Try sitting in the woods at 430 AM by yourself (deer hunting) in the area he was allegedly sighted in. Your mind will mess with you then.

Arctic (2018)
Excellent survival drama where Mads Mikkelsen has crashed his plane on the North Pole and is waiting for help. The rescue party eventually arrives but the helicopter crashes. Now he and a wounded woman who survived have to take on the harsh weather, slippery mountains and a hungry polar bear, while they embark on a deadly trek through the unknown in hopes of making it out alive. Great acting by Mads and not too long (90+ mins.). If you enjoyed The Revenant, All Is Lost and Cast Away you'll have a good time with this. 8/10

Great film.

Blues Brothers 2000
While nowhere near as good as the first one, the music and all the guest stars they managed to get to appear makes up for it

I forget why they couldn't get Jim Belushi to star in his late brother's role, but I sure wish he had.

He'd signed on to do a TV show before they offered him the role in BB2000. So they wouldnt let him out of his contract to do it. So they rewrote the role for Joe Morton instead

The Crow (1994)
The movie that set Alex Proyas on the map and that literally killed action star Brandon Lee. That's probably where it got its cult status from, because the movie itself is nothing special. It's an adequate revenge flick about a rock star who rises from the ashes to take revenge on the scumbags who brutally murdered him and gang raped his girlfriend. Brandon Lee looks the part but is not much of an actor. Michael Wincott gets to play the main bad guy (again) and it looks like he had fun doing so. It's always nice to see Tony 'Candyman' Todd, but he doesn't get much to do. The revenge kills could be more imaginative. Only the one with the exploding car stood out. It's a good 90 minutes spent but don't expect a masterpiece. The Crow is all style, but very little substance. 6.5/10

Batshit crazy sequel to Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator, this time directed by Brian Yuzna. Based on a short story by H.P, Lovecraft. Dr Frankenst... errr Herbert West and his friend Dan keep on experimenting on dead bodies, trying to perfect the reagent. Of course everything goes horribly wrong... again. Great practical effects and creative gore. The story is all over the place though and the movie just kind of ends without a satisfying conclusion. 7/10

Battle Angel.



CGI everywhere.  They haven't got to the point yet where complete CGI fest don't take me out of the film.


It was a good looking movie.  It wasn't a bad movie either, the writing was pretty simplistic and Alita was really the only likeable person besides the doc but you could tell it was meant to be the first film of a series so its aight.

Ultimately the same kind of shit had already been done in Deus Ex.

The Descent (2005)
After a terrible tradegy a group of young women go caving in North Carolina, only to discover that they aren't alone. This cave is crawling with Gollums. After a very tense, slow first hour the last 30 minutes are relentless. Neil Marshall also makes good use of the darkness, but never making it too dark. The action in the last 30 minutes does make it less scary, but it's executed with great care and style. A must watch If you haven't seen it yet. Oh, make sure you watch the version with the original UK ending. 8.5/10

The Descent: Part 2 (2009)
More of the same, but much worse. Takes place right after the 1st movie's US ending. Everything about Part 2 is worse: the story, the acting, the lighting... For some reason the cave system is much brighter this time and that also makes it look fake. Where is all this light coming from?? Our surviving, shell-shocked heroine turns into some sort of cave Rambo after she's forced by a macho cop to enter the cave again, which is ridiculous. Finally, Part 2 has one of the dumbest twist endings I've ever seen. You've been warned. 5/10

Phantom Of The Opera (1998)
This version by Dario Argento isn't that bad. It has great cinematography and music by Ennio Morricone. For some reason our phantom is now telepathic and not deformed, and despite being raised by rats speaks perfect English with a British accent. Let's just call it suspension of disbelief. I mean, The Penguin was raised by penguins in Tim Burton's Batman Returns. Acting is so-so but the gore is great and no straight man would say no to a young, naked Asia Argento. 6/10
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: KiramidHead on Aug 06, 2019, 05:58:32 PM
The Penguin was also raised by a circus, so that's more justified. And I can't help but be a little creeped out by Asia's nude scenes considering her dad has directed so many of them. :laugh:

F*cking love this film. I love the characters. I love De Niro and Reno's performances. I love that everyone talks in metaphors and you have to work out what they're really saying. And if better car chases have ever been filmed, I've certainly never seen them.

Only gripe I have is that it wouldn't seem to make much sense for the CIA to be going after an IRA terrorist, but it's an American movie so I guess it had to have an American hero.

Oh yeah, and it looked bloody mint on the Arrow Blu.

Haven't watched this in a long time. Still brilliant. Introduced so many cool and iconic scenes to the genre.
Keanu looks so young watching it now and is great as Neo. The supporting cast also put in A grade performances especially Fishburne and Weaving.
One of the best soundtracks to a film too.

I read the Wachowski sisters are open to a reboot which is a shame. Some films should be left alone. That said a prequel story on the first 'one' to liberate the humans as mentioned by Morpheous in the first film could be an interesting way to go.

Who needs a sequel/prequel to Army of Darkness when you have this? This series rocks! It's funny and gory as hell. This show doesn't hold back on the flying body parts and blood showers. Ash makes it rain red with his boomstick and trusty chainsaw. AvsED has lots of throwbacks to the movies too, especially the second one, although the tone is definitely more Army of Darkness. Just don't expect a pure horror show. It's not perfect, but if you love Evil Dead II and especially Army of Darkness then you'll love this too. 9/10

Also quite tired of the (broken) family drama that's present in almost every big disaster movie.
My favorite things were

Mothra in the centre of the pyramid. Would love something like that in an Alien/Prometheus movie.
And the ruins of the hollow Earth people's society. Those were beautiful and imo more interesting than any of the monsters and their battles.

John Wick 3 (2019)
Too long and monotone. The computer blood was another downside.

Fast & Furious: Hobbs and Shaw (I love how ever since number five they insist on giving each new entry in this franchise a slightly different title here in the UK compared to the US)

About what you'd expect. In other words, big, dumb fun. Statham and Johnson continue to be a great double act, although as others have mentioned, Vanessa Kirby might have stolen the show. Also really glad to see Idris finally getting a decent, meaty role (although I hesitate to add "worthy of his talents" :P) instead of being wasted in an inconsequential bit-part, and he was obviously having a ball throughout. The two cameos were indeed a riot, and very unexpected. My only real gripe is it felt like the action was a touch stale and uninspired, likely a side effect of this being the 8.5th film in the series that's striving to be increasingly mental.

At least it's got good music. The scene works better as a music video though...

Hardcore Henry (2015)
The big gimmick is that it's entirely filmed from the 1st person view, like the Maniac remake and the 1st person scene in the Doom movie. This view lends itself perfectly for an action movie, because it feels like you are personally experiencing it. The story is forgettable: A blond haired bad guy who, for some reason, has telekinetic powers, wants to rule the world by using an army of supersoldiers. Our protagonist Henry is one of those soldiers and has to stop him with the help from a mysterious friend, who keeps popping up in different disguises. Sharlto Copley was the perfect choice to play all these different roles and you can see he really has fun with them. The bad guy is pretty good too, despite him trying too hard to mask his Eastern European accent. The girl, Henry's love interest, isn't that great but luckily we don't see her too much. The movie itself is a 90-minute rollercoaster ride with plenty of insane, ultra-violent action. 7/10

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (2019)
I'm a fan of the 2014 movie, which captured Gojira's size very well from a human perspective. It was also magnificently shot. The human drama was a bit bland though and distracted from the monster madness. This sequel has plenty of monsters duking it out and destroying entire cities along the way, but the way Edwards captured the enormous size of these huge animals in the 2014 movie gets a bit lost here. Once again there's a human element added to the movie and it has to be said that they are, without a doubt, some of the dumbest humans ever captured in a mainstream movie. It got to a point that the idiotic decisions they made started to annoy me. Even the humans in '98 Godzilla were smarter than this lot, and that's saying something! The cgi looked pretty sweet, with some amazing monster cinematography, and the acting wasn't bad either. Bear McCreary's soundtrack is servicable, but forgettable. If you want monster action and smart human drama, you're better off watching Shin Godzilla. This is big dumb fun, with the accent on dumb. 6.5/10

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)
A movie that takes its sweet time to get to the point. It's about Leo and his stuntman Brad and the stuff they have to deal with in Hollywood in the 60's. Leo's career is going down the drain and Brad is forced to drive him around from job to job and do other meaningless chores. Then we have Sharon Tate who's enjoying her movie star life. There's also the Manson family cult who live on an old movie ranch. Leo gives us another phenomenal, Oscar worthy performance. Brad Pitt was great too. Margot Robbie was okay as Sharon Tate. Al Pacino's role basically is an extended cameo. The movie gets more tense when the Manson cult finally gets into the picture and the final 30 minutes is another hilarious piece of history rewriting like QT showed us before in Inglourious Basterds. But it really could've been trimmed down by a good thirty minutes. I love QT's slower paced movies like Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight, but the problem I have with this movie is that the interesting parts are few and far between. Especially in the first hour I was dozing off a few times. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is not a bad movie at all, but it's certainly not his best either. 7.5/10

The Beach Bum (2019)
A stoner comedy where they forgot to put in the comedy. Matthew McConaughey plays washed up hippie writer Moondog who's wasting his days with drugs, booze and women. For some strange reason everyone loves this asshole so he gets away with almost everything he does. When his rich wife dies in a car accident his estranged daughter orders him to write a new book before he gets access to the money she left him. I'm not a fan of Korine's movies, although I liked Spring Breakers. His film does look great thanks to cinematographer Benoit Debie and the music is spot on too. McConaughey does the best with what he gets, but he's not a likable character. Zac Efron also does a good job portraying a violent pyromaniac. The less said about Snoop Dogg, Martin Lawrence and Jonah Hill the better. They are terrible. If you want a fun stoner comedy you're better off watching The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or Pineapple Express. The Beach Bum is a movie about unlikable characters being the worst human beings they can be all day. 5/10

An interesting film. You can tell Nolan had taken inspiration for this when making Inception. Just wish more was done with the central idea rather than the Black Ops stuff

Night of the Demons (1987)
I'd never seen this one before. I'd only even seen number 3 also known as Demon House, which it turns out was a remake of this one based on the plot. Stylistically close to Return of the Living Dead and features an end credits song that doesnt suit the tone of the movie at all

Also Dolph should have died in the first movie. The way the team is so chill with him after he turned on them and tried to murder Jet Li always felt wrong.

As far as the series goes, the first movie is okay, but dear god do I not care about Statham's relationship subplot. The second is a bit better, and overall my favorite. The third is one giant what the f**k. The free Broforce spinoff based on it was better than the actual movie.

Also, I've read the script for the all female spinoff. Jesus f**king Christ, it was bad. Instead of action, it was full of pussy and fart jokes.

The one with Lance Henriksen, Henry Cavill and Katherine Wynnick is the shittiest of the lot. I mean - its so bad its unwatchable - I sorely wanted to turn it off but you know... completeness.

The problem with the Hellraiser sequels from Inferno to Revelations is that they took an existing script and put Pinhead in them, making them feel 'off'. Judgment is an original Hellraiser script, but sadly it isn't very good either. They didn't even have the guts to ask Doug Bradley to reprise his role, opting for yet another actor to play Pinhead.

Inferno definitely would've been a good movie if they didn't shoehorn Pinhead in.

I'm still waiting for that official director's cut of Bloodlines, which restores the original story structure and some deleted scenes. There's a fan-made workprint director's cut out there though, which is recommendable.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) - 7/10

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/72/9b/8EcxUnDb_t.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/8EcxUnDb)

For a movie called "Scary Stories...", it wasn't very scary. It was pretty good though, with an overall decent sense of dread and horror. The cast of relative unknowns did a good job portraying the characters. Zoe Colletti was a good lead, even though I think she overdid it a bit with the final monologue. Creature designs was a bit hit and miss. I found the sequence with the fat lady very unsettling, but everything with the Jangly Man was pretty boring.

Solid film, not something I'm sure I'll revisit again anytime soon.

With a young James Spader, silly 80's music and cheap looking action.

Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)
I miss decent parodies...
Forgot what a cast his movie has. Emilio Estevez, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Curry, William Shatner, Jon Lovitz.
And in smaller roles: Whoopi Goldberg, Charlie Sheen, Corey Feldman, Christopher Lambert, Bruce Willis,..

Haven't seen this film since it was first released back in 86!
Rutger Hauer is fantastic as the drifting psychopath. And for me seeing ET's C. Thomas Howell in such a such a brutal film was an eye opener.

Yes!!!

You haven't watched it since 1986?? I think your part of the majority though, sadly, and it's not your fault. It's a crime that that this film has gone so unseen for so many. It's still not even on blu-ray in the United States!!! Yet, it has a cult following and a remake!

I've never seen any good big foot movie. I think the last one I saw was Willow Creek,  which was a Blair Witch rip-off.

Don't like Exists? It's not perfect but I like how it adds to the nature of the creature.

Actually, I've never saw that movie (Exists). Does big foot appear at any time in the film? cos there is not big foot in the big foot flick called Willow Creek. It's very like in the original Blair Witch, just terrified people filming with camera in hand whatever goes after them...there was a cult or something like that too, but no big foot.

Anyway, this kind of indie horror movies are a guilty pleasure for me.  ;D

Yes. It's also found footage but you get a good enough look from what I remember.
What I mainly like about this movie is how the creature is portrayed.

About Willow Creek, thought you did get to see Bigfoot for a couple of seconds.
And yeah, it was sorta implied Bigfoot bangs the women, perhaps in order to reproduce if that's possible.
Anyway, that movie was a mess.

The problem with the Hellraiser sequels from Inferno to Revelations is that they took an existing script and put Pinhead in them, making them feel 'off'. Judgment is an original Hellraiser script, but sadly it isn't very good either. They didn't even have the guts to ask Doug Bradley to reprise his role, opting for yet another actor to play Pinhead.

Thats why i only watch 1-Bloodlines in my Hellraiser watch throughs now.

I wouldnt mind reading the original scripts for Inferno to Hellworld

Quote from: P-Rock on Aug 24, 2019, 12:52:05 PM
Inferno definitely would've been a good movie if they didn't shoehorn Pinhead in.

I'm still waiting for that official director's cut of Bloodlines, which restores the original story structure and some deleted scenes. There's a fan-made workprint director's cut out there though, which is recommendable.

Sorry guys, I missed these.

Definitely true that some of the sequels were other movies with Cenobites put in - they were mostly OK. I mean, watchable. As I say, the best one for me (till Judgement) was "Deader"... I thought that even if it was a different movie, they captured the aestethic nicely and the train of the debauched was brilliant.

I'll definitely check out the fan-cut of Bloodlines - there seems to be a lot of lamenting about that one because it was supposed to be epic in scope - and you could kind of see what it wanted to be.

I loved the last one, Judgement, though. I'm not a Hellraiser nerd by any stretch, but I loved that they expanded the lore and had different hell factions and all that stuff

Spoiler
And the idea that Heaven was working with / actively promoting evil to increase its own "brand" was inspired. As was the end of casting Pinhead out.
[close]

Judgement was made by Gary Turnicliffe who's been working on the series since the first one in special effects - he was going to direct one (Inferno?) but couldn't. Judgement felt like everyone involved really gave their all.

Whereas in Hellworld, clearly no one cared at all.

Aside from that one, I don't think any of the sequels are as bad as they're made out to be. The one that got a lot of hate was "Revelations" but I actually quite liked that one.

But yeah - it was great fun to watch them all in succession.

Over Your Dead Body (2014)
The line between fantasy and reality begins to blur when actors perform in a play based on a famous Japanese ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan. Well shot and acted, but the movie makes more sense when you are familiar with the ghost story they are performing. 7/10

Yakuza Apocalypse (2015)
A yakuza drone inherits the powers of his boss, who's secretly a blood sucking vampire. Chaos ensues when several hitmen come looking for him, including a giant frog and a martial arts expert disguised as a lost tourist. There are some hilariously demented scenes in this movie which are classic Miike, but the pacing is all over the place and the movie would've benefited from tighter editing. 6.5/10

John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019)
This sequel suffers from the same problem(s) as The Matrix: Reloaded and Mad Max: Fury Road. The fights are well choreographed, but when you show too many of them it gets tedious. I hate what they did to John Wick in the sequels. They've turned him from a man bent on revenge into an unstoppable, invincible killing machine. Wick gets beaten the shit out of him, run over by multiple cars, shot, stabbed, thrown from a thirty-storey building and yet he walks away with so much but a scratch. Maybe they should call the next one 'Endgame'. The movie looks great, most of the acting is good (Mark Dacascos steals the show), but the twist is stupid. Also, whenever I see Halle Berry act I can't stop wondering how in the world she won an Oscar. She really is a terrible actress. 6/10

As Baron says, it's Pacino's performance and the sheer 80s-ness of it that I love. Plus the pure, instinctual thrill of seeing a total c*nt fight his way to the top, killing anyone who gets in his way, only for it to all come crashing down in a blaze of primal glory. It's a plot that's been done countless times but I've never seen it done more satisfyingly than in Scarface.

And of course, the ultimate irony is that it all comes undone for him because he tries to do something good.

Men In Black International (2019)
Meh, just meh. A very pedestrian Men In Black entry which, despite the chemistry between Thompson and Hemsworth, lacks tension, a decent villain and a good story. Smith and Jones are sorely missed. I partly blame director Gary F. Gray, who has never directed a sci-fi movie before. 5.5/10

Avengers Endgame

It's grown on me since I first saw it in the cinema and was extremely disappointed.

Positives, Hemsworth, Downey Jr and Evans acting is stellar throughout.  Scarlett Johannson is also excellent.  The moments that spoke to me as a comic book fan really worked, the effects and the score are top notch. Captain Marvel is well used, and actually made me like her a little more.

Negatives

The way Thor is treated quite frankly, is f**king disgraceful.  Hemsworth has some of his best moments portraying a Thor who is struggling with guilt and suffering from serious PTSD but it is ruined by unneccessary fat jokes and Big Lebowski references.

Hulk is completely wasted for the second movie in a row.

Thanos isn't Thanos in this movie, generic bad guy with varying power levels depending on who he is fighting.  Takes on Iron Man, Cap and Thor together with ease, but struggles against solo Scarlett Witch (who is a badass, there is no denying that) and Captain Marvel, (her not reacting to his headbutt is taking it too far) That being said, it was nice to see Wanda get a little payback for Vision.

The final battle is a mess.  A few great moments aside, it is cut together too quickly, and it struggles to keep up with individual characters who barely have enough screen time.

Overall.  Endgame is okay.  It was such a shame that an excellent movie like Infinity War was followed up with something that just didn't hit the mark for me. 

7/10

Withnall & I (1986)
Turns out this was an Arrow 2K restoration re-release. It looked amazing on screen. Sure its a film where not much happens, but its still a classic quotable cult hit. Grant and McGann are a storm, Griffith is brilliant and its amazing that Brown's character from Wayne's World 2 was inspired by a character who only has a couple of scenes here. All in all, I just loved it.

Now I want a drink.

Return to Oz (1985) -- what can I say? despite being a kid friendly fantasy movie, it's a bit creepy :laugh: seriously...Dorothy at the mentally ill asylum, the shapeshifting rocks, the headless princess (able to change her head according to the occasion), the "half human-half bike" guys, and the final moments of the villain giving me a vibe of  'Saturn Devouring His Son' by Francisco Goya. I liked the robot. It was an in between of C-3PO from 'Star Wars' and Jake the dog from 'Adventure Time' (I know is a modern TV show, but I am a big fan so I can't help falling in pareidolia :-X). The designs and special effects were similar to those in the movie 'The Neverending Story'. That being said, I dig Emerald city (ruins) and citizens turned into stone. It reminds me of a sci fantasy story in the  'One Thousand and One Nights' anthology about a lost civilization whose inhabitants are petrified (although more similar to taxidermy) and the characters are escorted through the city by a robot. The chicken character was a bit annoying though. But overall I enjoyed this "strange in a strange land" tale :) as I'm feeling like hungry for some retro fantasy (I prefer science fiction and horror, but sometimes one need a break. 'The Dark Crystal' is guilty too though ;D).

I guess I'm one of the handful of people who welcomed the remake with open arms. I hated watching Mufasa die again, but Hans somehow made the stampede music sound even more intense and horrifying.

I love Beyonce's "SPIRIT", but it should have been an updated version of "Busa" when Simba runs back to Pride Rock.

Ninja (Scott Adkins). Great action - the director (Isaac Florentine) really... really knows how to shoot a fight scene. Helps that his cast are all expert martial artists, but there's lots of long shots, no shaky cam, one-take stuff - it's really amazing.

The story has a few holes in it, but we're not really here for story... it was great. And it took Ninjas seriously - like - there were no digs and winking at the audience... it was like a proper Cannon ninja flick where they were seriously bad-ass.

Looking forward to the sequel, which I read, is even better.

I agree SM. Much like the extended edition of Aliens too - I know many prefer the theatrical cut but I love those Hadley's Hope scenes. That said the Plantation scene doesn't really offer anything to overall story in Apocalypse Now but I do find myself enjoying it regardless.

For a film that literally shouts 'never get off the boat' they often get off the boat - necessarily.  I think they're off the boat a bit too long at the plantation though.  I think even the bit where they catch up with the Playboy bunnies goes too long.  Though both environments tend to suck you in.

Aliens is easier to deal with, as the (extraneous) extra scenes only add about 20 minutes - rather than 40.

I love everything in the Redux except that pace-killing plantation scene, which stops the film dead in its tracks and breaks the ominous mood just when it should be building to the climax.

I was really hoping the Final Cut would basically be the Redux additions minus that, but from what I've heard it's essentially the opposite; it's basically the theatrical version with the plantation scene added in :(

There are a couple where I prefer the theatrical cuts. Sin City and basically every Michael Mann movie are the ones that immediately spring to mind. Conversely, I actually prefer the extended cut of Conan the Barbarian, because unlike a lot of fans I think the 2 minutes or so that Milius added back in are very good and give some extra depth to Conan and the princess.

It's definitely worth a watch... the facts shown were truly horrific. I had no idea the extent of the Flint water damage and all that sort of thing, but Moore always gives up too soon with any attempt at even handedness. He briefly talks about how he knows what people from the mid-west are like and how they think and how he said Trump could win...

But pretty soon, he's just showing Neo-Nazis spitting at black people, dubbing Hitler with Trump's voice and all that kind of thing - as I say, it really lessens the impact of his point as it seems like its an utter stitch up.

In some ways it almost re-enforces the "liberal nazi" accusations that the liberal left will not accept another opinion AS opinion and just want to shut down any form of debate and cast anyone who doesn't agree with their view as a moron/racist.

Which is a shame, because there's a lot of really eye-opening stuff in the documentary that's truly shocking (I say this as an Brit and look how shocking everything going on here at the moment is)  - I just wish it had been more even-handed.

My granny just offered me an endless supply of fruit jello and laughing cow cheese cubes.

Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Visually a great film, but for the people who created The Matrix the story is cliched as hell

Not really a story/sequel/prequel we needed

True Story (2015)
Now this was disturbing and features great turns from Hill, Franco and Jones

Ghost Ship (2002)

First watched it back in 2012 and the plot twist f**ked me up. Now for some reason I'm obsessed with it again to the point I had to ditch the t.v. movie version I had on my DVR for the bluray I bought for like $19 on Wal-Mart's online store.

I mean, it's not perfect but damn that intro scene was the best way to start a movie ever. I just love this movie so much to the point where I've watched it like 4 times this week.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

But I also saw Robin Hood (2018) and thought that was cool too.  :laugh:

The Avengers: Endgame (2019)
What made Inifinity War so entertaining was the fact that all superheroes from all franchises got together to beat one big baddie... and failed. Now they go back in time to undo everything that Thanos did, making all the deaths seem pointless. Someone dies? Ok, let's go back in time and save them! It's a very cheap plot mechanic. It's still an enjoyable watch, but now it's more of the same that we've seen countless times before. The end battle is a direct copy of the first one and we all know how it's going to end this time. 6/10

The Post (2017)
Good acting by Streep and Hanks, but the story is plodding along without any sense of urgency. It's still an interesting story about the politics of the Vietnam War and the resistance of a then small newspaper getting silenced by the big bad government. Nixon and Trump sure have similarites, the way they view the free press. 7/10

The Ninth Gate (1999)
I love this movie. It has an interesting, occult subject and the legend that the books are supposedly co-written by the devil himself makes up for a great mystery. Depp and Langella do a great job and the soundtrack is fantastic. The abrupt ending stops this from getting top marks, but everything before that is superb. 9/10

What an uplifting and inspiring documentary this is! What's great about it is that all of Damon's insights into what our future could be are achievable ... the only thing standing in our way is simply our own apathy or old entrenched walls.

So whether you believe in man-made climate change or not the ideas presented in this doco are very much a positive win-win for everyone on this planet.

I liked the loonies, but the film is hampered by too many silly moments that ruined some good scenes.

It borders on parody at times.

The enhanced predator was boring and not threatening at all. 

It's not the train wreck that some people claim it to be, the whole movie just feels like a waste of good talent

Rambo III's always been my favourite precisely because it's the most self-aware and insane of the series. "Surrounding 'em's out."

Same goes for the Rocky series - Rocky IV's always been the one I enjoy the most, because by that point they knew exactly what people wanted to see (montages).

Killing Zoe (1993)
A safe cracker named Zed returns to Paris to help out an old friend who is planning a bank heist. Of course everyhting goes wrong. Tarantino and Avary worked together in a video store. When scouting for bank locations for Reservoir Dogs, Avary came up with the idea for Killing Zoe. Tarantino got famous, Avary didn't. Tarantino's definitely the more talented director and writer of the two, but Killing Zoe isn't bad. It's got good performances by Eric Stoltz, Julie Delpy and especially Jean-Hugues Anglade as Zed's deranged junkie friend. At times you can see it's his debut movie, because of the somewhat amateurish cinematography and chaotic story. Tomandandy did a good job with the pounding electronic soundtrack. People keep comparing it to Reservoir Dogs, but the movie doesn't deserve that. It's its own little thing. 7/10

Dobermann (1997)
A French movie, directed by Jan Kounen and his answer to Pulp Fiction and True Romance. Vincent Cassel plays Dobermann, an enigmatic robber who's being chased by a sadistic, corrupt cop who isn't afraid to resort to violence to get what he wants. This movie is violent. Very very violent. A head gets blown off using a grenade, someone's dick gets shot off, a baby is thrown into the air... Everything is shot very stylish with a lot of cool camera tricks. Acting is mostly good, but very over the top. Tchéky Karyo is hilarious and despicable at the same time as the corrupt cop Christini. If you like movies like aforementioned Pulp Fiction and True Romance, there's a good chance you'll dig this too. 8/10

I'm not for one moment gonna sit here and claim First Blood isn't by far the better movie :) But I like Rambo III more just because it's so gleefully mad. It's the one I rewatch the most purely because it's so easy to sit down and switch off to.

And how can you not fall over laughing at a game of chicken between a tank and a helicopter? :laugh:

I think they just drive into each other in III. In II, he plays possum in a down Huey and then blows up the Russian helicopter with an RPG.

I can't wait to see the third one - there's been all sorts of crap thrown at it by websites that are criticising the "politics" of the movie rather than the movie itself (apparently its Trumpian and racist cos Rambo's killing Mexican Drug Cartel goons this time). I mean - hate the movie sure, but it's really annoying when reviewers are ignoring the film in order to make political statements.

I have to say - First Blood and Rambo are my faves. I loved the middle two in the time they came out, but with perspective, I watch those two more than II and III now.

I saw John Wick 3 last night. It was all kinds of awesome (and I guess because he kills Asians,Arabs, Caucasians and he's an animal lover, he's neither Trumpian or racist).

I can't get over how creative the actions scenes are  - like - they think that stuff up. Like "The Transporter" - these things go wayyyy beyond "fight scene."

Mars Attacks: I laughed throughout this entire movie. I couldn't keep a straight face at all. It was entertaining for sure. I didn't know it was a Tim Burton movie until I recently rewatched it, guess I can't be too surprised he does crazy movies all the time. One thing I kind of had a nitpick with was the effects could've been better even for the time, though I'm not sure what I was expecting, it's based off trading cards that I actually want to own now just to see how crazy they are. All in all enjoyed the film, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Rocky

Been years since I last watched this, I completely forgot how much of it has nothing to do with boxing. As with the Rambos, this first one is almost certainly the best of the series, but it doesn't quite manage to be my favourite. That said, it's still a fantastically entertaining film. And even now I can't quite believe Stallone was once an Oscar-winner :laugh:

Rocky II

Maybe controversial, but easily my least favourite of them all. It sort of feels to me like its stuck in limbo - it doesn't have the genuine quality of the first or sixth, nor does it have the entertaining silliness of three, four and five (except maybe the bit where all the random kids start following Rocky on his run across Philly, that bit's wonderfully ridiculous :laugh:) The final fight in particular feels really over the top and dumb, except unlike the later sequels I get the impression they're playing it with a straight face.

Lol I remember liking the fifth a hell of a lot more than I expected to given its reputation. One of the major complaints people seem to have - that it's a downer for Rocky himself - really didn't bother me. Plus it has that hilarious Don King rip-off played by Richard Gant, who pretty much makes the film worthwhile all by himself.

Anyway, I'm getting there...

Rocky III

Ah, that's more like it. The point at which the series becomes fully self-aware - it's full of montages, the fights are completely over-the-top, the villain's a riot, and I legitimately lost track of how many times Apollo Creed used the phrase "eye of the tiger" (in case you'd forgotten that was the theme song to the movie since they last played it five minutes ago). Also, considering the rivalry with Clubber it sets up, it's pretty funny how their rematch ends up being probably Rocky's easiest bout of the entire series, he knocks him out in three without even really breaking a sweat :laugh:

In short, practical effects.

https://youtu.be/fBzpT7VmSaU 

But above all, the early pilot design was more interesting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH3VeUiud7c

There's an article at Monster Legacy about that.

Quote from: Monster LegacyIn the final film, said Pilot was replaced by the hologram tower (labeled as "the Tetris version" by the film's own director). As a result, the Thing manifests itself in the form of a mutated Sander; the Sander-Thing was designed in a fairly quick time period, brought on the screen directly as a digital effect. "We created the Sander-Thing the last minute," the director said, "and it shows, unfortunately." The replacement was established after test screenings, and as such the Pilot-Thing can be still briefly seen in the film — hidden by the shadows and camouflaged among the machinery. This is in all probability unintentional, and the question comes up:

Why was the Pilot fired from 'The Thing'?
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Baron Von Marlon on Oct 04, 2019, 03:50:03 AM
I rather saw practical effects but I don't think the digital ones were that bad.
It's the (pre?) ending that was more of a letdown to me. Too much of a typical "final girl vs creature" scene.
But overal not a bad movie, certainly if you take the many crappy reboots, remakes and prequels into account.

Totally. But it's still a decent movie.
And it's arctic/icy horror. There's barely any of that. Guess it's too expensive and unpractical or something.
Even semi-snowy stuff is rare. There's this German soap opera set series set in the Alps called Sturm Der Liebe (I noticed during flipping channels) and it has some beautiful locations. Always makes me wonder why there are slim to non movies set in such locations.

I just really don't care about what happened at the Norwegian base. The Thing got out, they all died, that's it. No point in padding that out into a movie.

Totally. But it's still a decent movie.
And it's arctic/icy horror. There's barely any of that. Guess it's too expensive and unpractical or something.
Even semi-snowy stuff is rare. There's this German soap opera set series set in the Alps called Sturm Der Liebe (I noticed during flipping channels) and it has some beautiful locations. Always makes me wonder why there are slim to non movies set in such locations.

While it is more like historical fiction with drama, I dig "The Terror" (season 1) for the very reason: arctic/icy horror. Although the polar bear of Game of Thrones scares me more  :laugh: but I understand the philosophy behind the design of the Tulpa, and what artists wanted to tell about the dark side of human nature in situations of struggle for survival. At the Mountains of Madness deserves its honorable mention as well. A fictionalized account of Dyatlov Pass has potential  too.

Also, I want more horror movies taking place in Nordic countries such as Midsommar or The Ritual.  8)

Imo The Thing is a good prequel. They've shown enough respect towards the original Carpenter movie. Was it a necessary movie? Nah. I didn't have a problem with the cgi. As I understand it's practical effects painted over with cgi. The only things I didn't like about the movie are 1.) Too many people (hard to remember everyone's name) and 2.) For some reason the thing keeps exposing itself, instead of hiding like in the Carpenter movie.

There's a movie called Devil's Pass about the Dyatlov Pass incident, but it's pretty shit tbh.

I do like The Colony with Laurence Fishburne and Bill Paxton.

This.

It's much more effective just seeing the creepy aftermath in the Carpenter film than knowing what actually went down.

Rocky IV

Still my favourite of the series. Basically just a succession of awesome montages, and also a robot butler for some reason. I especially love that Ivan trains for the final fight in some super hi-tech bionic gym of the future, while Rocky just goes to a barn and doesn't shave for a month. Only real shame is that they didn't get Bill Conti back to do the score; his Rocky theme is sorely missed, but Vince DiCola does a good job on replacement duties.

Rocky V

I stand by my earlier comments - I really don't get why this is so reviled in comparison to the other sequels. I think it was time for them to go in a different direction after the previous three movies basically had the same plot. It's no more silly than three and four, and its moral message that you can solve all of life's problems by beating people up in the street is hilarious. As for the downer stuff about Rocky losing everything, it might actually be an issue if it looked like he and his family were genuinely depressed by it, but as soon as they're back in Philly they all seem to be perfectly content with their new lives. And good God, Richard Grant is amazing in this. I've seen plenty of scenery chewing over the years, but I can't think of anything that compares to the relentless ferocity with which he devours all around him, he totally steals the show.

Oh yeah, and I totally forgot this ended with an Elton John song :laugh:

Doom: Annihilation
For a straight to VOD flick and also taking in that truly terrible trailer release, this was actually not bad at all. LIke watching an extended episode of your favourite 90s action/sci-fi TV series.

And they took out that terrible `Die, die, die!' cut from the trailer thank goodness.

Not a patch on the Johnson/Urban film which I know get's a lot of stick but as someone who wasn't a massive Doom gamer I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of it (pun intended).

Stallone should have gotten at least a nomination for this, his performance at the end is remarkably good.

Alien Director's Cut
Unfortunately I don't have a UHD player so I had to opt to watch the BluRay instead. Even after almost 40 years of watching this film I still find new little things that surprise. I actually watched the film with subtitles on - picked up a few bits of dialogue I've never knew was in there. One being Ash saying `this is serious' when Kane starts gagging at the dinner table. Ian Holm almost curious, anxious and excited constantly glance in that scene is amazing.

What truly constantly surprises me about this film is how quick the pacing ramps up once Kane gives birth.

I've never much liked the Director's Cut to be honest. Mostly because it lops out the "What Are My Chances?" scene, which, combined with the vents right after, is my favourite part of the whole movie.

The only change I come close to wishing was in the theatrical is when they listen to the transmission on the bridge, but then Ridley went and spoilt it by changing the original, creepy as f*ck noise to a really generic one :-\

Regardless of some things I like in the DC, it's only the theatrical cut of Alien for me. Actually, it kind of bothers me that the Director's Cut exists at all, considering the all mighty dollar inspired it, and Ridley still prefers the theatrical cut. I would have opted for all this just to remain as alternate and deleted scenes, but that's just me.

One scene that never got into the DC that I would quite like to see put back in is the one where everybody gathers in the mess after Kane's death and discusses what to do. At the end of the day it's all fairly redundant so I can see why it was never used but there's some fantastic dialogue in there.

If Sabotage was 2 hours of THAT, I'd highly recommend it!  :laugh:

With Suicide Squad, I don't know if Ayer was shafted, but if I recall correctly, reports said his film looked weak during production and Ayer's movie tested really poor. The studio had some trailer company make their own more jovial cut and it tested better. Then the studio ordered lots of lighter toned reshoots and merged the two cuts.  The more audience favored first half of Suicide Squad is mostly the trailer co. cut.. and the more somber disliked second half of the movie is mostly the Ayer cut. 

Apparently the WB was going to do BRIGHT with Ayer and Will Smith after Suicide Squad, but bowed out afterwards.

I heard about the ending change based on audience testing and some gore cuts but most of Sabotage is his movie and the ending change wasn't the problem to me or to Ayer much if I remember correctly. I don't know, did Ayer get screwed for Bright and Street Kings too? If he's not a mixed bag, then he might be the most unluckiest great directors in the world.

This was an interesting enough take on the idea, but it could have built up a growing sense of unease a bit better in the first half.

Bound (1996)
The debut of the Wachowskis. It took a while to get going but once the shit hits the fan it's very entertaining up until the end. The lesbian stuff in the beginning comes straight out of a cheap porno though, but luckily you don't see much after the obligatory sex scene. 8/10

The Invasion (2007)

Hugely disappointing. There's some strong stuff early on, but the re-edits and reshoots really hobbled the movie, especially compared to how suspenseful and interesting Kajganich's script is. The fact that it opens in media res with a lovingly framed reshoot scene of Kidman chugging a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew is a bad, bad sign for the movie you're about to watch.

Love it.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Love it, I just don't like the very ending.
Aside from the ending, I think Lock, Stock is a stronger movie with better pacing.

The Longest Yard (1974)
Thought I'd finally watch this since Mean Machine is remake of this one. Wasn't bad but I think Mean Machine is an improvement.
Meaning Guy Ritchie's upcoming Le Convoyeur remake could be good as well.

I thought his performance was fine. I don't know about the narration. Like - an 80s trope? Or necessary? The stuff about sleeping 3/4 hours a night, no one cares about the new guys, it's better to get killed the first few weeks so you don't suffer as much... I think that would have been clunky in dialogue exposition (the again, maybe not) - and would be hard to show-not-tell - there's a lot of information in those letters.

The later stuff about the platoon being at war... not necessary - but I guess the letter writing had been established by this time, so ... why not?

But honestly, neither performance nor the narration were issues for me. The one thing I did think was "oh, we wouldn't do that these days" is when Barnes's eyes go red right at the end... It's just silly these days, though I remember it being really impactful (on me) at the time.

Echos of his old man's own narration in Apocalypse Now.
Also reminds me of that great scene in Hot Shots II when they cross paths on the river `I loved you in Wall Street'

But it must be credited for totally inspiring modern Batman. But it's sequel is just more polished.

In one of those moods so I keep coming back to Sicario and Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

I remember seeing the first one in theaters but not being really into it at first, but after like several viewings after it was out of theaters it really grew on me, and I never did get to see Soldado until it aired on cable, then I had to rush out and get the bluray for both since I only had the first film on DVD and needed a upgrade.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

My first time seeing this, given that I originally gave up on this series after the third one.

The editing is f*cing shocking. I lost count of the number of times it instantaneously jumped from one location to a completely different one in the middle of a scene. The drama stuff was predictably clichéd and uninteresting, but even the action scenes - the one place where these films usually excel - were boring and repetitive. Also, all the stuff put in to sell the movie in China felt unbelievably cynical.

Most disappointingly though, this actually has a really damn good cast, but almost everyone of note is totally wasted, especially Kelsey Grammar and Ken Watanabe. The normally excellent Stanley Tucci was awful, thanks mostly to the dire material he was given. Titus Welliver made an impact early on but then completely disappears for most of the movie. But the worst offender by far was T. J. Miller - his was probably the best character in the film, but they kill him off about fifteen minutes in (in a scene designed to shock that really isn't shocking at all), and to make matters even worse his passing barely even gets mentioned by the rest of the cast who are all supposed to be his closest friends.

Transformers: The Last Knight

For some f*cking reason (it was also on TV) I decided to watch the fifth film too. I had a similarly long (longer) list of things to bitch about with regards to this one, but to be honest it's not even worth it beyond saying this is categorically one of the worst big-budget films I've ever seen. I've no idea what it was about, half the characters contributed absolutely nothing (especially many of the side players returning from previous instalments) and I really want some of what Anthony Hopkins was smoking when he agreed to take this role.

The Hitman's Bodyguard

As Meat Loaf never said, one out of three ain't bad. Loved it. Best action comedy I've seen in years. Reynolds and Jackson made a wonderful double act, but surprisingly it was Salma Hayek who stole the show.

Ju-On: The Grudge

The best of them all, with some of the strongest scares in the series. They were so good that Shimizu effectively ripped himself off when he directed the crap US remake. :laugh:



The Lighthouse

"Ye like me lobster, don't ye?" This was definitely an experience, heh.

There's so many bad horror films I get excited when I find even a decent one on Netflix.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe
Solid 8 out of 10.
Brian Cox is always great.

It's 86%/70% on Rotten Tomatoes if anyone is interested.

Fallen

Very underrated horror/thriller.  Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, James Gandolfini (with an absolutely epic stache) and Elias Koteas make up an epic cast.  The movie has an interesting spin on demon lore and gives us an excellent villain in Azazel, and an ending that is pretty awesome.  8/10

Dead Man's Shoes

Brutal.  Paddy Considine's best movie.  A British masterpiece 10/10

Mate of mine rung me up last week to tell me he'd finally got his new OLED TV and a copy of Predator in 4K, so I went round to christen his home cinema on Saturday. I'll be honest, I'm not convinced by 4K (I'm aware a movie shot in a jungle in the 80s probably isn't the best reference point for the format, but this isn't my only exposure). The film still probably looked better than I've ever seen it look before, but I don't feel a pressing need to upgrade. But whatever, the movie itself was a blast, obviously.

I also convinced him to throw in Predator 2, which he'd only ever seen once years before and turns out he barely remembered beyond the main plot points. As much unfair shit as I feel this film gets, it's clearly not as good as the first one. Still a bitchin' action ride though, and dare I say it the Predator itself is done better.

Yeah personally, I was very disappointed with Predator 1987 in 4K.  I've read the film cameras used were not the best, therefore the 4K doesn't really bring out any additional detail in my comparisons to the blu, and sometimes the grain experienced was insufferable. So I personally choose just the blu-ray when it comes to Predator 87, waxy faces and all.

Predator 2 and Alien is another matter though.

I've been sitting on some comparison pics that I've been meaning to start a thread on. Maybe I'll do it now.

I never said atrocious. I said "insufferable"!  :P

QuoteUnless you really hate film grain, how the film is supposed to look.

Not quite always. Many AV enthusiasts smarter than me are starting to realize that some 35mm grain is being boosted in processing, meaning no longer natural. Mix that with the low grade cameras used and whamo-bamo it goes back to it's my opinion!  ;D

Between my wonderful 4K viewings of Alien and Predator 2, my setup flips to improper?

You get a big ol' eyeroll for that one!

I've yet to upgrade Predator to Blu, purely because they seem to keep botching it.

I was hoping when the 4K came out that they'd use that for a corresponding regular HD, but I remember hearing the Blu that came out at the same time used one of the old masters.

Because other than the grain that sometimes was insufferable to me, often the resolution wasn't an improvement in 4K. As you can see on my screenshots in the below thread, sometimes objects on the blu-ray is actually clearer to make out than the 4K!  It's crazy!

Ringu

Classic, not much more needs to be said.



Spiral

It has a few scattered moments of quality (it nails the ending on the beach, for example), but overall it's a bad sequel to Ringu, a horrid adaptation of a very good book, and frankly dull and uninteresting as a movie.



Ringu 2

This was a replacement sequel after Spiral didn't go over so well, but it really isn't any better. It's basically just a string of nonsensical scenes and set pieces, with not much of a plot tying things together. I still have no clue what to make of the weird pseudo-science shit with the water, or whatever the hell happened in that ending.



Ringu 0

Surprise surprise, this is a pretty strong prequel, that deepens the character of Sadako and adds a whole new dimension to the story.

Ehhhhhhh... this might have been halfway decent if the characters weren't all dumb as shit and it didn't have flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks. That and the fact we could have had Escape from Mars with Snake Plissken instead of Ice Cube, and that is one hell of a missed opportunity, even if Snake fighting Martian ghosts would be weird even by Escape from LA standards. :laugh:

He made several proper Lovecraftian movies.
Even his "eeeeh" work isn't bad when compared to the average movie. Especially these days.

Strike that last bit...

The Ward

Dog shit. The only redeeming quality this had was how distractingly good some of the women looked. The scares were crap, the directing was crap, and the ending was mega crap.

The Terminator - 10/10

The only movie in its eventual series that was a perfect slasher film. The rest were action films.

Sometimes I wish there was no Terminator franchise and only this wonderful film. A perfect non-linear time loop paradigm where what happened in the past and what happened in the future has always happened simultaneously, and no matter how these characters feel they can change fate, they are just pawns playing into the hands of fate... even Skynet.

It's ironic to think the one action that would actually ensure the erasure of John Connor's existence was for Skynet to do nothing at all when it lost the war. Just don't send a Terminator back to 1984. Just do nothing, subsequently giving Kyle no reason to go back either and ultimately create the events to conceive John.

Such a great film.

A perfect non-linear time loop paradigm where what happened in the past and what happened in the future has always happened simultaneously, and no matter how these characters feel they can change fate, they are just pawns playing into the hands of fate... even Skynet.

It's ironic to think the one action that would actually ensure the erasure of John Connor's existence was for Skynet to do nothing at all when it lost the war. Just don't send a Terminator back to 1984. Just do nothing, subsequently giving Kyle no reason to go back either and ultimately create the events to conceive John.

Such a great film.

I remember someone saying to me about Terminator that its one of the few films out their where the Sex Scene is important to the plot lol

They weren't lying!  It's difficult to think of another, actually.

Team America?

I stand corrected.

Wow, possibly for me one of the best King adapts out there. Everyone in the cast is spot on. Its a slow burner but flies by. Even better than IT Chapter 1 for me

Terminator: Dark Fate

I actually ended up really, really liking this one. The first two acts are admittedly a little too familiar, and some of the setup is a little clunky, but it all came together very nicely starting with Arnold's re-introduction and the third act and ending were great. It's not T1-2 good, but it easily beats 3-5.

Not as good as  Lock, Snatch or Mean Machine but still pretty good.
And a great cast as usual.

Hollywood High (1976)
Probably the oldest screwball type flick I've ever seen.
Lots of dumb puns, a guy who calls himself The Fenz, a camp teacher called Mister Flowers, a midget called Big Dick, a muscled guy
named Rocky,...
To the tunes of songs like On The Beach Of Bandits, Beach Love and other songs you've never heard before.

Return of the Jedi
Still my favourite film of all time ever since I saw it in the cinema way back in the 80s.
Most flawed out of the Original Trilogy? Absolutely.
But it's got teddy bears in it!!! Who cares. Love those Ewoks. They weren't so cute as to not try to cook and eat our heroes.
Green lightsabre. Nuff said.
Best space battle in all of the Star Wars films? Yep. You bet (with the battle of Yavin a very close second).
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: HuDaFuK on Nov 08, 2019, 09:36:59 AM
Always been my favourite of the trilogy too. As dumb as Ewoks beating the Empire's crack troops is (and just when exactly did they get time to build all those giant siege machines in the two minutes since they decided to help?), the other two prongs of that three-way final battle - the space dogfight and Luke vs. Vader and the Emperor - are just incredible.

Summed up perfectly.
That scene where the Rebels first engage the Imperial fleet and you see that shot of all the tiefighters coming towards the screen through the Falcon's main cockpit window is absolutely stunning practical effects. "It's a trap!"

It's amazing how the effects work developed during the course of making that trilogy. Watch the Death Star dog fight scenes in the first film and then compare it to the battle in the third. I can't imagine how many passes some of the Endor battle shots took.

I remember being super disappointed by this when it came out, but catching it again on TV I'd totally forgotten how gloriously insane it is. There's no denying it's not even close to the level of Dog Soldiers, but it's great fun to see the director Marshall paying homage to the movies he grew up watching. It's a mess, but an entertaining mess.

Doom: Annihilation (2019)
Low budget with some wonky cgi, but not as bad as some make it out to be. It's got a lot of Doom (3) references and at least we get some fireball throwing imps and zombies this time. Acting isn't great, but the soundtrack was nice and the cgi Hell scene looked good. 6/10

Better than I expected and certainly better than London Has Fallen.
It's nothing original, kinda predictable but the action is pretty decent.
Read there are more "X Has Fallen" movies in the works and after this, I'm kinda curious.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
One of a kind comedy which I still enjoy.

I've missed that one thus far, but I really liked London Has Fallen. Butler went full-on Rambo in it, and I thought the single-take firefight down the London street near the end was one of the best action sequences I've seen in recent years. It wasn't a "good" movie by any means, but I was definitely entertained.

Terminator Dark Fate
Went in with a lot of the negative comments in my head ... and ... to my pleasant surprise ... enjoyed it immensely. It's bombing at the box office but it's easily the best Terminator since T2 ... I'll give it a 3/5 on the Huggs scale. And if this is it for Terminator films (well in the immediate future it would seem) then for me personally at least it went out on a high.

What took me by surprise was for the first time since the T2 I found the enemy Terminator actually terrifying to watch - I wasn't convinced of Gabby Luna's casting at first but after 10 mins of watching this he convinced me otherwise.

Spoiler
That harsh beginning though ... wow ... I thought the beginning of A Quiet Place was shocking but this one took me by surprised. Also I'm usually the first to cringe at anything woke in modern movies but found none of it in this one. That said as much as I like Mckenzie she's nowhere near as strong as Sarah Connor is.

Controversially I actually think apart from Jared Leto's Joker of course, it's not the strongest live-action Joker, absolutely no subtlety and the Joker and Batman fighting over a love interest completely misses the point. The film itself is the weakest of the "good" Batman films, perhaps apart from the last Christopher Nolan Batman.

I've softened on this one a lot over the years. Sure, it's nowhere near as good as Barbarian, but it really isn't so bad compared to a lot of fantasy movies from that period. And you gotta love the 80s PG, where the movie could still be bloody as f**k. :laugh:

I was always entertained how Arnold whipped around that broad sword in the middle or so of this fight, like Anakin and Obiwan did in ROTS.

Of course, it's meaningless to winning the battle, unless there's an intimidation factor, but impressive of Arnold nevertheless.

Typical horror with some decent gore. Always fun too see familiar faces in early, smaller roles.
Part 2 stars Henry Rollins as army veteran and the beautiful Aleksa Palladino who's in the recent The Irishman as DeNiro's first wife.
Part 3 Tamer Hassan from the The Footfball Factory and The Business as Mexican-American gangster  :D

Writer/director Craigh Zahler would be perfect for a sci-fi horror.
He knows how to make slow but not boring movies with the right amount of violence, displayed in the right way.
I'm not sure what the man's next project might be but I'm already curious. He hasn't disappointed yet.

Pitch Black / Chronicles of Riddick.

My daughter has become a huge Riddick fan having seen these movies. My work here is done.

The second one wasn't as bad as all that... I mean, it was different to Pitch Black but I seem to remember it was really - really hated at the time. CGI hasn't held up well but other than that... I dunno... it was just campy and OTT, but I thought it was pretty good.

Onto (just plain) Riddick next then.

Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
Decent and certainly not a bad movie. Would've worked just as well if this wasn't a Rambo flick.
Best is when goes to 11 near the end. Storywise this felt like a direct sequel to First Blood made almost 40 years later.
Now I'd still like a sequel to Rambo (2008) set in the Middle East. With John doing all the things the bad over there do to the good.
Heads will roll, people will be hung, stoned, whipped, thrown off buildings,...
Ending with Rambo doing a suicide bombing but with a nuke

For the first time in years. 


I personally didn't do it justice because I was running on very short sleep.  Still prefer the TC.  I was awake long enough in between my dozen or so mini naps that the egg morphing scene is jarring and out of place.  Not because of the content, but because of where it was inserted in the movie.  Just feels like Ripley is running around trying to figure shit out and takes a random side trek with no provocation.

I really want to like that every time I watch it, but it has this bizarre thing where it manages to make all its action sequences really dull. And like you, I hate how it tries to tie Silva from Skyfall into Spectre - I thought he worked much better as a stand-alone villain. It might not have been so bad if it ended with Blofeld's (initial) capture, but the final act really feels out of place and drags it down.

I can't help but feel that there is: the very deliberate choice of writer, the female 007 (nothing wrong with a female 00... but it just seems to be daft having her as 007), the lines from the trailer ("get in my way and I'll shoot you in your knee" - something like that)?

The trouble is, as a middle-aged-white-man, I'm not really allowed to ask that question (which is kind of frustrating to be honest *lol*).

Friend of AVPG, Mr H feels that the wokness in a lot of modern movies really is a thing these days... but also says that overtly woke movies are failing because of this agenda pushing.

The battle-cry seems to be "just make a good movie" - like Aliens, for instance. Strong female lead, diverse cast and all that - straight white men love it. As does every other demographic.

I dunno, I've not seen the new Terminator, Batgirl, the new Charlie's Angels movies (these seem to be coming in for fire cos their woke stance)... Converserly, Rambo was under fire (ow, bad pun) for fighting Mexicans cos that was racist.

I dunno- is woke a phenomena or an over-reaction?

I really want to like that every time I watch it, but it has this bizarre thing where it manages to make all its action sequences really dull.

Was thinking about this bit, and it's really true. And it's not helped by all the weird comedy gags in the middle of every action scene, which makes it feel like Mendes is the number one fan of the slide whistle bit from The Man with the Golden Gun.

Robocop (2014)

Can only really view it in comparison to the original, in that it wasn't a copy and did some interesting things with having Murphy retain his memories and personality and family.  In that regard it was pretty good.  The satire angle by way of Sam Jackson doing a Sean Hannity impersonation was okay.  But both that and the main action fell over badly at the end.  The climax was dull, and Jackson went over the top cartoon villain that was just dumb.

You mean No Time to Die? I don't really see it myself, at least not in the trailer. They had a female secret agent way back in '77 with Barbara Bach in The Spy Who Loved Me, so that's not exactly some current-day fad. The fact the new one happens to be black doesn't really mean anything to me.

As for her being 007, has that even been confirmed? I don't recall it in the trailer, but people seem to be certain of it. But even if she is, didn't Bond retire at the end of the last one? Why wouldn't they reassign his number? There's been more than one 00 agent by the same number in the film series before (most of whom were killed multiple times, so the numbers are obviously reused).

Death Wish 3 is basically already a Commando remake :laugh: Just, you know, featuring an over-the-hill Charlie Bronson and set in New York but obviously filmed in London for added WTF.

Funny actually, I was extolling that film's "virtues" to my mates just this morning. I especially like the bit where the old Jewish couple downstairs invite Kersey to dinner, then in the middle of the meal he excuses himself to go murder some thugs trying to break into his car outside, before heading back inside to finish his soup with the old couple, who don't seem to care.

And I'm still not sure if that or Invasion USA was the first movie to feature the hero blowing the villain out of a second-floor window with a rocket launcher from point-blank range, but either way it's f*cking glorious.

Typical 80's flick about two orphans moving to a small town and getting in trouble with the local gang.

Mischief (1985)
Couple of familiar faces but don't know anyone by name.
Nice little 80's flick set in the 50's. A high school student takes a crash course in teenage coolness from his motorcycle rebel neighbour who's the new kid in town.

Yeah, the one they put out first is probably a "better" film, but I like the second one more because it's simply crazier and more action-packed, and that's pretty much all you want from an 80s B-movie. The third one trounces them both though.

The Predator

Decided to give this a rewatch as I've been reading the novelisation of late. I don't hate it the way a lot of people do, but it really frustrates me because it feels like they nearly had a much better movie, and most of the things they screwed up were done when they started trying to rework it. The original plot - with the Upgrade basically being a superweapon sent to f*ck us up because certain Predators hate that we keep besting them, and the Fugitive (and Emissaries) trying to stop him - sounds like it would've been a lot more interesting and less incongruous with what is established in the previous movies. Also, if the novel's anything to go by, the dumb subplot about global warming leading to a wholesale Predator invasion - including that final scene - was entirely added at the last minute, and given how that shit's the biggest problem I have with it, even leaving that out would've improved the film considerably.

Oh yeah, and I dunno if it's because we know the final act was reworked, but I swear you can see the quality of the CGI drop dramatically in some of the reshot stuff near the end.

I'd really love to see the Shane Black cut one day.

Post by: HuDaFuK on Dec 12, 2019, 02:48:55 PM
I vividly remember the T-1000 killing the dog and the smiling scene when I first saw T2 on TV as a kid, and was always really confused when they weren't on the video. Wasn't until DVD that I realised there was a longer alternate cut with that stuff in. Interesting that they clearly put the Special Edition on TV way back in the 90s, because back then (so far as I can remember) they only ever seemed to air the theatrical release of films on British TV.

For me, T2's a bit like Aliens - the pacing's much better in the theatrical cut, but personally I prefer the extended version and never really watch it any other way. In fact the same goes for basically all of Cameron's films, even Avatar.

Does kinda bug me through that some of the added CyberDyne stuff ruins the neat reference to the first film where the police dispatcher identifies Arnie as the guy who shot up the precinct in the first film. But it's a pretty minor quibble.

Caught the back half of DOOM on the telly box the other night.

There's no denying it's both a naff adaptation of the source material and little more than a poor man's Aliens rip-off... but even so, I genuinely enjoy it for what it is. I really like the creature designs (even if they're basically nothing like the games) and the FPS section is still tons of fun (even if Hardcore Henry did it better). The dialogue's all over the place - some of it's ace, some of its cringe-worthy - but everyone's clearly having fun with it and the tone generally walks the line between silly and straight-faced in the right way.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace - 7/10

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/b5/fb/IYvOvpY6_t.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/IYvOvpY6)

There is some some pretty stiff acting her, which I'm going to credit to poor direction. But there's so much I love about this film that I'm willing to let it slide. The casting is very good. I can't imagine anyone else but Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Liam Neeson brings a quiet dignity as Qui-Gon Jinn. Natalie Portman is of course a phenomenal actress and sort of gets two different roles to play with here. Her Queen Amidala voice and persona is so different from Padmé that it truly feels like two different people. Jake Lloyd is decent enough as Anakin and I have no real issues with his performance here, especially given his age.

The villains are great as well. Ian McDiarmid's Palpatine is one of my all time favorite bad guys. He doesn't get the chance to be truly EVIL here, but does a good job nevertheless, and it's interesting seeing his rise to power. Darth Maul is a very formidable villain and Ray Park's performance and physicality lends itself so well to this character. Seeing him take on two Jedi knights is one of the best lightsaber duels in the Star Wars saga.

I am overall very satisfied with the costume and set design, not to mention the fantastic score by John Williams.

The Bounty is such a hidden gem like Rutger Hauer's The Hitcher. But this time, it has never really gotten any play in the United States because it had so much nudity. All the native women were topless. Long stretches of dialogue were done topless. Other countries are less offended of such things but American television would just not have it. So there was not much replaying to build an audience. Ironically it's also one of those films that only received a PG rating, released in that period of - if the nudity wasn't sexual in nature, it didn't require an R rating.

And as always, just a Vangelis score is worth a viewing on its own.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones - 7/10

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/9c/9b/ht9GunRE_t.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/ht9GunRE)

This is probably the Star Wars movie I find myself watching the least, at least out of the first six saga films. For some reason I always imagine it as worse than it is. Much like TPM, it has its flaws, but there's so much good stuff to make up for it.

I genuinely do think that Padmé and Anakin have some decent chemistry together and the romance can definitely be cute and even touching together. But then there's some cringeworthy dialogue and stiff directing that stops it from being really good.

McGregor continues to be an excellent Obi-Wan, but I do not agree with the hair and beard they went for hair. It does not suit him well. Something I do agree with is the costume design in general, especially when it comes to Padmé. As far as I'm concerned, Padmé's white suit surpasses even Slave Leia as the hottest Star Wars costume, missing midriff or not.

Some very cool things spread throughout the movie. Jango Fett, the Clone Army and Jedi waging war on the droids, mini nukes in an asteroid field.

I do feel like Anakin committing mass murder on women and children should have been a major warning sign for Padmé.

Also...

TLJ: "It's impossible to track someone through lightspeed."

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - 9/10

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/75/8e/l82dhcXU_t.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/l82dhcXU)

My favorite of the prequel trilogy. It does a wonderful job wrapping up this part of the saga, as well as tying it together with the OT.

The cast is at their very best here and the directing also seems to have improved over the previous two films. I don't really have that much to say here, other than that I enjoy this film immensely.

Standout Scene/Moment

The opening space battle over Coruscant. The opera house scene. Order 66. Obi-Wan vs. Anakin and Yoda vs. Darth Sidious. The end montage.

Quote from: Shasvre on Dec 15, 2019, 11:54:49 PMThe opening space battle over Coruscant.

That scene pretty much sums up why I don't like the prequels. The space battle at the end of Return of the Jedi is one of the most visually impressive effects sequences I've ever seen (even all these years later), whereas the one at the start of Revenge of the Sith is just an incoherent mess. It seems to me as though CGI let Lucas go completely overboard, whereas the limitations of practical effects meant he had to hold back to some degree on the original trilogy, and the movies were all the better for it.

I do love Grievous, though. I've got a giant Lego model of him at home, four lightsabres and all.

Repo Man
A classic bat s**t all over the place cult film.

Patchwork
I found myself really enjoying this. Great performances. and laugh out loud funny in places

Beverly Hills Cop 2
An enjoyable sequel.

Black Christmas (2019)
What an absolute load of s**t. So badly written. They've just taken the title for name recognition to get it released. They throw so much at it, including a plot line that's wasted. Very few of the characters are like able and they even steal a scare from Exorcist 3. They could have set this film at any time of the year.

Borg vs McEnroe
Really nicely done. Loved the back and forth in the timeline leading up to the Wimbledon 1980 finals

I'm not the biggest fan of the Coruscant battle, but the rest I indubitably agree. I'm also a fan of the Anakin & Padme looking through windows across the city from their respective towers scene. It conveys such a sense of foreboding. Well done!

The two cuts aren't hugely different, just some extra/alternate jokes and a different musical choice for the Vanessa scene near the end.



6 Underground

I feel like there was maybe a decent action movie script at the start of this, but Bay's direction is just way too much here.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: HuDaFuK on Dec 17, 2019, 10:34:17 AM
I was literally just hearing about that from a couple of mates who've seen it. They basically agree that he went completely overboard to the point where it's almost unwatchable.

That said...

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

...it turns out Bay can still make a decent movie when he tries. (Or perhaps that should be "tries a little less", given that this is pretty restrained for him). To echo a point I made about the DOOM movie, this is basically a poor man's Black Hawk Down, but the infantry banter's on point and the firefights look fantastic.

"An MMA fighter helps an exorcist fight evil."
The South Korean movie isn't as crazy as you might expect. It's a decent action/horror/thriller with a bit of a touching story. Wouldn't surprise me if Hollywood would remake this.

Joker (2019)
Liked it, didn't love it. Certainly a proper movie but not sure if I'll watch it again.

The protesters were idiots as they had no background information on the killing like us viewers. All they knew some guy dressed as a clown killed three people. Then later that guy confessed to the murders, didn't give background information and commited another murder.
If you decide to dress as this guy, use him as an icon, riot, hijack an ambulance,... based on that little information, you're an idiot.

Movie itself did make a good point on mental health care.

I've been on an Aaron Paul kick, after binging Breaking Bad, and decided to watch The Parts You Lose. It wasn't the most original flick and was predictable but I did enjoy it. I really liked the plot of the story, it reminded me quite a bit of A Perfect World where a fugitive and a kid bond together. Solid acting all around though. I was pleasantly surprised to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead in it- they probably could have benefited from using her character a bit more.

My Bodyguard (1980)
Average comedy/drama with Matt Dillon, guy who played Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket, kid from Meatballs,...

You Can't Hurry Love (1988)
Silly but nice romantic comedy, starring a couple of familiar faces.

Stuart: A Life Backwards (2007)
Comedy/drama with Tom Hardy as troubled alcoholic bum and Benedict Cumberbatch as a guy writing about him.

This is very entertaining and quite funny, and the effects hold up pretty well. Claude Rains is perfectly cast, and, those wraparound sunglasses look stylish as f**k on him. ;D



The Invisible Man Returns

Bit of a misleading title there, since it's a different invisible guy this time around. Overall, it's a pretty solid sequel, and Vincent Price carries it admirably.

Angel Has Fallen

I'm actually a big fan of the first two in this series and their simplistic, oldschool action film aesthetic, but I wasn't so hot on this one. Tonally it was way off from the previous entries - gone is the self-aware, darkly humorous 80s feel, replaced instead by Bourne-lite grittiness that practically every action film seems to go for these days. Yawn. There was no real suspense or intrigue - for instance, it was incredibly obvious who the masterminds behind the villainous plot were going to be from the moment they appear on screen - and overall the movie just felt painfully generic and low-budget, something that really wasn't helped by how obvious it was (even to a Brit) that "America" was actually a combination of rural England and Eastern Europe.

Nick Nolte was great in it though, especially the humorous sequence where his hideout is attacked. Got a few genuine laughs out of that.

The Invisible Woman

72 minutes of pure comedy hell that not even Shemp Howard can save. I don't expect the Elizabeth Banks remake to be much better, either.



Invisible Agent

An entertaining enough B movie with an invisible man beating up Nazis. Also, it has Peter Lorre playing a conniving Japanese agent, which is both hilarious and unfortunate at the same time.

First Blood

As with Rocky, the first is unequivocally the best of this series (although it's not quite my favourite). Stallone's breakdown at the end may lose a little of its potency when you're watching again and you know it's coming, but it's still surprisingly powerful. Love Richard Crenna in this one too.

"If you're sending that many men don't forget one thing..."
"What?"
"A good supply of body bags."

Win.

Rambo: First Blood Part II

While this one is arguably the most iconic of the series, it happens to be my least favourite (not counting the fifth, which I've yet to see). It's far too silly to be as engrossing as the first, but it's not silly enough to be as entertaining as the third. It has its moments (Rambo literally becoming a wall of mud and jumping out at some guy is never not hilarious) but it feels like it does a really bad job of balancing the brainless action with its darker moments.

Rambo III (Love the flagrant disregard for consistency with the title of this franchise...)

My favourite of the bunch. Absolute f*cking madness. Rambo shoots down a helicopter with a bow and arrow and wins a game of chicken with a second while driving a tank. Also this happens:

*Rambo and Trautman confronted by entire Russian army*
"What do we do?"
"Surrounding them's out."

They then attack and survive.

Lastly, without wanting to get into any political arguments, it'd be remiss of me not to mention the extra level of unintentional hilarity that comes from this film's portrayal of the Mujahideen, compared to how they're viewed by America now.

It also has a seen where Ramo drops a guy down a hole, hangs him, and blows him up all at once. ;D



Revenge of the Creature

This is an okay-ish sequel, with some good bits and some decent entertainment value. It falls short of the first, though, and the suit is badly hurt by the stupid googly eyes they added to it. It's also very obviously just King Kong with a fish man.



The Creature Walks Among Us

This mostly a tedious, poorly paced movie, with too much focus on characters who are either boring or aggressively unlikable. And while the Creature's unwilling transformation into a landlocked being is interesting, it's not utilized very well, and the new makeup is awful. I will give the movie credit for the ending, though, which is thoroughly bleak, leaving the Creature alone, miserable, and about to effectively commit suicide. It's pretty daring, and a well done example of a non-ending in some ways. It's just a shame that the rest of the movie is so lackluster.



The Phantom of the Opera (1943)

This is a little too focused on being not quite a musical, and there isn't quite enough horror or thrills, even by forties standard, but it's very well made with a strong performance by Claude Rains as the Phantom. And the ending where Christine dumps both of her rival love interests in favor of her adoring public is a nice touch.

The Mummy's Hand

It's got it's problems but is overall an enjoyable B movie. And the frame by frame blacking out of the mummy's eyes is super creepy. Also, I love how the evil high priest spends all this time sending out the mummy to kill everyone, and then right at the end he just pulls out a f**king gun to deal with the comedy relief sidekick. :laugh:



The Mummy's Tomb

Yeah, this one isn't nearly as good. Leaving aside the weird timeline (it takes place 30 years after the first, which was set in 1940, yet apparently WWII is still going on!), it's mainly just kind of dull. Also, it's only an hour long, yet opens with 12 minutes of recap, and the angry mob at the end is mostly stock footage from the original Frankenstein. :laugh:

It's not great, but it's better than the last one and there's little to no stock footage this time. And the ending is refreshingly bleak and nihilistic. Also, the main character's dog is ten times more competent and heroic than he is. :laugh:

The Lighthouse (2019) 4/5

At first I thought this would be a fictional take on a historical tragedy, just like the Franklin's lost expedition (1845) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin%27s_lost_expedition), which inspired a book (2007) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terror_(novel)) and then a TV adaptation courtesy of Scott Free Productions, specifically first season of The Terror (2018). (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2708480/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1) I tell you this because there was a mysterious disappearance of three keepers in 1900; Flannan Isles Lighthouse, Scotland. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flannan_Isles_Lighthouse) But no, and while the film may have been vaguely inspired by that real-life event; this is another story. In fact I think part of the movie is inspired by the work of Edgar Allan Poe instead.

I enjoyed it for the most part. I had some problems with the pacing. There was substance though. And it is thanks to that atmosphere, and tension. It mostly worked for me. I'd say that it is not a pretentious story, and is far from being a shallow tale. Both Pattinson and Dafoe were amazing in their acting. I liked when the characters were looking and posing for the camera. I felt it like when you're watching a theatrical work instead of a film. I was already waiting for a narrator. But the silence, the sound of the sea and the creepy music were more than enough. I absolutely loved.

Yes. Robert Pattinson's character was insane as f**k, but within his own madness, there was a maze of threads that could be interpreted in one or more ways: was the one-eyed gull the ghost of Thomas Wake's former companion? Ephraim Winslow himself ended up losing an eye. Or what about the visions? Maybe not only creatures are hallucinations, but also Thomas Wake chasing him with an ax; Is it all a nightmare? I think this is the way you should adapt something like "At the Mountains of Madness". Maybe not in a literal way, but it is certainly worth borrowing the positive aspects of this psychological thriller, especially when it comes to madness and atmosphere, and again, I really dig it and that's it. 8)

The inspirations for the Eggers film are an unfinished Poe story and the Smalls Lighthouse Incident, but is largely its own thing.

Interesting! I'll give it a try when I get some time.

And the only way that you can get to this box is you gotta be motherf**kin' Jacques Cousteau." :laugh:

I'll be honest, that's about the only film where I can actually appreciate Bay going full Bay. Even if practically every major action sequence is stolen wholesale from another movie, it's still one hell of a ride. My mates and I used to quote it endlessly when I was at college.

'So, how are we going to f**k up the Captain's life today?' 'Gee, I don't know... Ooh, look! Over there! Let's kill three fat people and leave them in the street!'"

I literally just watched that the other day myself.

There's some cringy moments in it (like when the fighter pilot gets in the way of the missile, it's so ridiculously overdone) but 2/5? Nah, more like 4.5/5; it's one of the holy trinity of Die Hard rip-offs. The setting's cool, the score's ace, the dialogue's tighter than a gnat's arsehole, the action's exciting and varied, and Ford and especially Oldman are wonderful in it. The CGI hasn't aged well but fortunately most of the effects seem to be model work that still looks awesome. Great film.

Brotherhood: Taegukgi

Korean-made film about the Korean War. Billed at the time as Korea's Saving Private Ryan, and it's easy to see why - stylistically it's very much drawing from the same well. I remember when this came out, I didn't even know Korea had a film industry, so I was shocked at the production values - aside from some truly shocking but mercifully brief CGI during the final battle, it looks like a Hollywood movie. The plot's interesting, the cast are mostly really good, and the combat sequences are harrowing and refreshingly grounded for an Asian movie. I especially appreciate that it doesn't take the easy way out and paint the war as a simple case of the valiant South vs. the evil North - it shows both sides committing atrocities, including some perpetrated by the main characters.

Also worth a watch because it sheds a little light on a war that's basically been forgotten by the West because it came between World War II and Vietnam.

Rewatching the classic Rambo films recently reminded me I'd not seen this since it came out. Two things I'd completely forgotten - how genuinely harrowing the village attack scenes are, and how amazing Graham McTavish is as the stereotype British arsehole mercenary.

Also learned that the guy who plays the Burmese Colonel is in fact a former Burmese rebel who lived through some of this stuff. Makes his cold-blooded performance even more amazing.

Up until about halfway through it was sort of OK (if entirely forgettable) and I was wondering where it's reputation came from.

Us- considering how overrated I found Get Out to be, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Just don't think about it too hard. It's a fun, campy horror flick. The final showdown with Lupita Nyong'o was beautifully choreographed.

Underwater- I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It had a lot of Alien vibes and was a decent monster horror flick. I l didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did and I actually felt invested in the characters. Solid cast all around.

Not great but still better than the average horror (comedy).

Seed of Chucky (2004)
It's not bad imo but certainly goes a bit downhill towards the end.
Overal I still kinda like it as it's entertaining and original enough. And Jennifer Tilly looks so yum in it.

Color Out of Space

An awesome return to movies for Richard Stanley. It's creepy, disturbing, visceral, and often funny, but I felt the tones were well blended. There are maybe a few places where Cage goes a bit far, reusing a version of his Vampire's Kiss voice (which makes sense if you know where he got it from to begin with), and I would have adapted some parts differently if it were up to me. But overall, this was a good time.

Is that the one where Chucky kills someone by smashing a giant mirror on the ceiling above the waterbed they're lying on? I don't think I ever saw the whole film, but I vividly remember that scene.

Bride of Frankenstein

This is overall a great sequel, but it gets a bit too whimsical at times, like the scene with those weird jar people. It's also a bit too arch as well. That meta prologue with Mary Shelley winks at the audience so hard the film damn near sprains its eyelids. Still, there's a lot of good here. The blind man scene alone is just heartbreaking.



Son of Frankenstein

This one is great, too, and I have no idea why it's often ignored. The production design and atmosphere are the best of the series, and the performances and story are quite good, too. And that's saying quite a lot, considering a good deal of it written on the fly during filming. It only really suffers from maybe being a tad too long at nearly 100 minutes, and there are scenes where Basil Rathbone goes a little too far over the top, but the majority of it works.

Back to the old approach. Again not great but not bad either.
And I'm getting to like Fiona Dourif more than at first.

Cult of Chucky (2017)
The timeline and past events get a bit messy but I applaud this movie for its originality, fun and cool kills.
Looking forward to more, which might be in series format.

This was on TV the other night; I didn't intend to watch it, but after the first few minutes I remembered why it's one of my favourite films of all time and I ended up sitting through the whole thing. Perhaps the best final 10 minutes of any movie I've ever seen.

The Wolf Man (1941)

A legitimately great werewolf film, with a strong script and a cool makeup design.



The Ghost of Frankenstein

Yeah, this is where Universal started treating the monster movies like C grade trash. It's a notable down grade from Son of Frankenstein in basically every way. And the brain transplant plot feels like parody, which shouldn't be surprising because this movie shares a writer with several Laurel and Hardy flicks. :laugh:

Not bad for a video game movie. There were a lot of plot threads, but they mostly came together pretty well by the end. There was one twist in the final stretch that was a bit weird and random, though.

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf-Man

This is a pretty good Wolf-Man sequel, but only an okay Frankenstein movie, not helped by the Monster's dialogue (and most of the explicit references to the last movie) being deleted. And I really don't know what to make of the spontaneous musical number in the middle.



Son of Dracula

This is a pretty interesting and well made mix of vampire movie with noir and Southern gothic elements, but Chaney is pretty badly miscast as Dracula.



House of Frankenstein

This has some good scenes and ideas, but it's mostly lame and a waste of a good concept. For all the to do about getting the big three monsters together, they don't share a minute of screen time between them. Hell, Dracula comes and goes before the Wolf Man and the Monster even show up. :laugh:



House of Dracula

More of the same, better in some ways than the last one, and worse in others. The mad scientist character is actually more interesting than anything else on hand, oddly enough.

Reign of Fire - love that film. Underrated.

Marriage Story Not a film I usually watch but wow. Some absolutely stellar performances by the entire cast ... the raw emotion mixed with a quirky black humorous undertone is great viewing. My wife and I both agreed this film brought back some previous (none to happy) memories for both of us from our previous relationships.

There was greatness to it but as a whole it was a bit disappointing. Especially compared to the original story.

Spoiler
The teenage daughter with her Wiccan magic, fake Necronomicon and rituals was quite cringe.

I'm still looking forward to Stanley's next adaptation, but with lower expectations this time.

When it comes to adapting HPL, I think the best way is probably a direct adaptation or as directly as possible. Or else a loose adaptation with a title that's different enough from the original. Like Dan O' Bannon did with The Resurrected.

Love that film. "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?!" Also, the WW2 nerd in me likes that it's the only film from that era that actually attempts to make German tanks look like German tanks.

Apparently it's another movie that was cut to pieces in the edit (Eastwood was quite critical of how much it was cut down). I'd love to see some of the stuff they took out.

I lasted 10 mins ... and turned it off. Not because I don't like Adam Sandler (I do) but I found the dialogue incoherent. Rambling multiple conversations with people talking over each other... need to give this another go me thinks.

I think we lasted about that long too.  Sandler's character was excrutiating, and it wasn't remotely engaging.

A great film, really enjoyable for the family. and this version of Sonic looks great. Cant wait for a sequel now

Amazing film. Just Outstanding. Deserved its Oscar Wins

The Island of Doctor Moreau (1996)

I'll give it this, the Stan Winston creature effects are excellent, and it's hilarious watching three leads not give a f**k and put in some really bizarre performances.

RUNAWAY - with Tom Selleck, Gene Simmons, directed by Michael Crichton.

I can see where they were heading with this and it would have read much better on the page than it looked on screen. Tom Selleck always deserved a much bigger movie career.

FORBIDDEN PLANET - with Leslie Nielsen, Richard Anderson, Earl Holliman, Walter Pidgeon, and of course, Robbie the Robot.

One of my favourites. I always get a kick out of watching Nielsen in a serious role. And spotting Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman from the 6 million dollar man).

DARK STAR - with Dan O'Bannon as Sgt Pinback, directed by John Carpenter.

Would love to see a modern remake of this, with lavish up-to-date FX. The humour is both wacky and deeply philosophical at the same time. A bit Hitchhiker's Guide-ish.

Necronomicon: Book of the Dead

Meh. The first story is okay, the second is dull, and the third is just plain unpleasant, and not in a good way. And the wraparound segment isn't very good, either, with Jeffrey Combs slathered in goofy makeup which is supposed to make him look like Lovecraft, but instead just makes him resemble Bruce Campbell. I think this only has any sort of reputation at all is because it never made it past VHS, at least in this country, and the unavailability gave it a certain amount of mystique. That and certain crowds hate CGI so much that they'll praise anything with a couple of puppets in it.

Yep. I actually really enjoy the performances from Gibson, Phoenix & the kids too. I really love the fact it focuses on this small family rather than this larger than life worldwide event too.

Recommendation: If you dug this kinda introverted look into a major global event then check out Pontypool which is a really cool take on the whole zombie apocalypse.

Post by: HuDaFuK on Mar 06, 2020, 11:45:54 AM
So I passed the last few days feeling ill by breaking out the Bond 50 Blu-ray set and watching a whole bunch of 007.

Casino Royale

Still can't decide if I'd rank this or Skyfall as Craig's best. Either way, it's really nice to get such a faithful adaptation of a Fleming book after so many years of made-up plots. The torture scene is just as uncomfortable on screen as it is in the novel. Unquestionably the best Bond theme of Craig's tenure as well (although you could argue it's not had much competition :P).

Quantum of Solace

I always feel like there's a good movie here struggling to get out, but it's really spoiled by the way it abandons any real character development in favour of a relentless succession of incomprehensibly-edited action scenes (none of which are at all memorable, except maybe the DC3 sequence). It says a lot that the few really great scenes in it are all found in the rare moments when the film pauses for breath, but these are much too fleeting. The movie seems to work a lot better when watching as a double-bill with its predecessor, but it's still mostly forgettable, poorly-edited stuff.

Also, as a fan of the original novels, I still get mad at how Mathis was so unceremoniously killed off.

Skyfall

"Welcome to Scotland" might well be the best line in a Bond movie since "I think he's attempting re-entry, sir." :laugh:

The instantaneous shift from the young, impetuous Bond of the previous two movies to burnt-out, over-the-hill Bond is a little jarring, and the film is perhaps a bit too Nolan-y at times, but it's still a great entry and the marked difference in style made for a nice change until SPECTRE went the exact same route (with far less success). I also really wish SPECTRE hadn't tried to tie this into the other Craig entries, because Silva (incredible performance by Javier Bardem) works so much better as a stand-alone villain with his own agenda. And speaking of great performances, this might be Judy Dench's finest turn as M.

The bit where they blow up the house at the end is still stunning even now.

GoldenEye

Been years since I last saw this. The first Bond movie of the modern era is arguably also the best.

As much as I enjoy the better Craig movies, I can't help but feel the series has lost a lot of its sense of fun since he took on the role. This movie's a riot, with larger-than-life characters (Trevelyan, Xenia and Oroumov remain some of the franchise's best villains), some superb dialogue and one-liners, a giant satellite dish hidden under a lake (how did they even build that with no one noticing?) and Bond powersliding a tank around Russia. Even the 90s techno-stuff has aged surprisingly well. And I'd completely forgotten quite how many people 007 kills in this; he really goes full-on Rambo. Gotta be his highest body count of the franchise, except maybe when Roger Moore got those two missile subs to nuke each other. Also probably the last Bond movie to rely heavily on miniature effects as opposed to CGI, which is nice.

By the way, was the fact that Sean Bean always dies a thing back when this was made? Because if so his fake death at the start was double cheeky.

Tomorrow Never Dies

Shows Quantum how you do a full-on action-packed Bond movie properly. Brosnan's films may undeniably have suffered from a downward trend, but this is still a thoroughly entertaining flick. Tons of fantastic action sequences but still plenty of time spent with the characters in between. Great to have a bona fide action star as a Bond girl for once too; Michelle Yeoh is one badass lady. Finally, special mention to David Arnold - his score for this is magnificent. You get the impression he'd been waiting his entire life to do a Bond soundtrack and when he finally got the chance, he threw everything he had into it (by all accounts, an accurate summation). He's never equalled it.

Which makes it even more of a shame the producers decided to ditch the fantastic song he wrote (and incorporated liberally into his score) in favour of Sheryl Crow's naff track. Surely one of the biggest f**k-ups in the franchise's history.

Island of Lost Souls

Excellent pre-Code horror film, with some great scenes.



Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's The Island of Doctor Moreau

One of the best documentaries of its kind. Shame that these "what could have been" docs seem to have dried up recently.



Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon

A better example of the Holmes vs Nazis thing than the last movie was. And having Lionel Atwill as Moriarty is a great addition.



Sherlock Holmes in Washington

Very mediocre. It's cool seeing George Zucco (playing Nazi spy Richard Stanley - yes, really) reunited with Kharis' sarcophagus, though.

I recently re-watched theThe Thing (2011) and the The Thing (1982) back to back. It's kinda funny that after watching the prequel for the first time since release I didn't think is was nearly as bad as I remembered. Dodgy cgi and missed potential for sure but it had a couple unsettling moments and was sorta enjoyable.

I watch Carpenters film semi regularily and it remains one of my all time favorites. But watching it after the prequel really made me appreciate even more how fantastic it is. At the same time it also made me realise how terrible the prequel is :laugh:

Dust Devil - Final Cut

Visually stunning and atmospheric. And it shows what a great actor Robert Burke can be when he's not miscast as Robocop.



Sherlock Holmes Faces Death

The Nazis are gone, as is the horrible haircut Holmes was stuck with in those three movies. It peters out a bit at the end, but is otherwise a pretty strong mystery story.



The Spider Woman

This one is decent enough and has a good bad guy, but overall isn't as strong as it could be. And it's not helped at all by Holmes wandering around in brownface for a good chunk of the run time.



The Scarlet Claw

One of the best so far, with a well constructed mystery and killer atmosphere. Shifting the setting to Canada for one movie was an interesting move as well.



The Pearl of Death

It suffers slightly from the plot only happening because Holmes is kind of a moron, but otherwise, this is another good one. And The Creeper is pretty cool as far as evil henchmen go.

Another good outing for Sherlock Holmes. There are a couple of iffy points, but otherwise a solid film.



The Woman in Green

Not that great, sadly, but it does have yet another good Moriarty on hand. Shame it pretty much lays everything out for the audience before Holmes even begins to gather clues. And the scene where the title character offers Holmes some cannabis is goddamn hilarious.



Justice League Dark

Terror by Night

A pretty solid mystery, with a cool setting on board a train. It does go a bit overboard with the stock footage and model shots of the train, though.



Dressed to Kill

Another "eh" entry in the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes series, and unfortunately the one they went out on. Not that there aren't some decent bits, but it doesn't really amount to much.

Terrible movie, really bad, a completely non sensical and souless script, so bad in so many levels BUT it is well made and is entertainning, not one dull moment.

Batman Forever

I really like this movie even despite all its goofines. I can dig it being so bright, colorful and cartoony. I really like Batmobile scenes. Score alone justifies the movie's existence. Val Kilmer as Batman is fine, Jim Carrey as Riddler too. Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face is still the worst incarnation of character but he's so funny trying to overact Jim ("Let's start this party with a BANG ! Boys, kill the BAT ! BLAST HIM !").
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: HuDaFuK on Mar 26, 2020, 01:57:53 PM
^ I agree actually.

Not a patch on the two Burton movies before it, and I'll always be sad they didn't continue with his dark tone and his plan to use Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face, but it's one of those films I like a lot even though on paper I should hate it. And even after learning they totally ripped it off from The Animated Series, I still like the way Batman finishes off Two-Face.

It's definitely on my list of movies I wish would get an extended version, with some of the darker stuff they cut out put back in.

I like that movie kinda halfway between dark tone of 89 and Returns and cartoony toy commercial feel of Batman & Robin.

Btw, I didn't really see Billy Dee Williams anywhere besides Batman but heard several times he would've been better as Two-Face. Why so ?

Noroi: The Curse - Found footage J-Horror movie.

The Blair Witch Project meet Paranormal Activity 3 & Hereditary without jump scares or super duper great acting. It feels real though, and the performance wasn't bad either. There was tension since it is a slow burn horror tale. Plus, the story is multifaceted in themes despite my previous comparisons. In fact, perhaps the last two American horror movies I brought to the table were influenced by this 2005 flick.

I just think it was much more interesting casting, coupled with the face it would've had greater meaning given that we'd already seen his as Dent in the first film. Plus I vaguely recall hearing they would've had a black/white thing going on (in terms of his physical appearance) which would've been much cooler than just painting half of his face purple :P

I rather liked Kevin and Casey's complicated connection. She's been abused all her life, and her experience with Kevin however horrific helped her. It gave her the courage to speak out and stop her torturous abuser and finally begin to heal. Now Casey wants to return the favor and help Kevin heal, understanding Kevin is also sick and a sad product of years at the hands of an abuser.

On a side note, the Mental Hospital used in Glass was really a closed down Mental Hospital thirty minutes away from me. So last Summer I visited it. It is gorgeous, yet creepy property.

I believe Glass starts a few weeks after Split, not a few days. She's in a foster house now. She's finally returned to school getting all those stares. I get the preference for more time in between. I get that. But the fact that what occurred in Split is still fresh actually works better for me personally, as a grateful now healing parentless teenager is trying to sort it all out.

Second time I watched this - saw it during it's theatrical run (remember those? Cinemas?). Still an enjoyable film even if it's somewhat of a `Force Awakens' for Terminator. Once again I didn't care for MacKenzie's `Grace' as I would've probably just preferred Hamilton (who is excellent) and Arnie leading the defence. Gabby Luna really is menacing at the Rev-9.

With that all said it's just a re-run of a story idea that really should've ended with T2. I have no desire to see more series against a watered down Skynet in Legion.

I liked it enough. It's pretty forgetable, though. What I can admire about the movie that it wasn't throwing Arnold in my face for almost two thirds of the movie and was trying to develop characters instead. And concept of Carl was pretty clever twist, IMO. Curtain jokes aside.

It had some great ideas for sure and yes I loved the whole story arc around Carl too. One thing is for sure Arnie's T-800 and Patrick's T-1000 are still the most menacing by far. Especially in the factory at the end of the first film.

Starfish (2018) - A young lady takes a break after attending the funeral of her best friend only to wake up as the apparently only living human being. From there...she must put the puzzle pieces together using her best friend's cassette tapes, as she struggles for her life in a post apocalyptic setting with the kind of horrors that movies like Cloverfield or A Quiet Place can deliver. A whole fever dream that also reminds me of Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding. So if you like weird genre flicks such as Under the Skin, Mandy or any kind of David Lynch work; you may like this.

The Relic

I absolutely loved this when I was a kid, so it disappointed me no end watching it again now just how naff it is. Most of the early stuff is still pretty good, but once the monster really gets loose it kinda falls apart, and the finale is laughable (even if you ignore the atrocious 90s CGI fire). Tom Sizemore's great in the lead role but Penelope Ann Miller is badly miscast.

It's not like I really care all that much about baseball, but this was a great little movie. And holy crap is it full of recognizable faces: Herc Hansen, Frank Sobotka, Clark, Garry, Shooter McGavin, and The Punisher, for starters.



Quatermass and the Pit

This is a really good movie with a very intriguing story, and possibly the smartest take on the ancient astronaut concept I've seen. And it has Donovan from Last Crusade playing a smug ass, which is fun. I'd also recommend giving the original TV serial version a look as well, as the plot is expanded and it actually has better production value in a few places.

I've been curious about this film since it was released 28 years ago but somehow it took me all this time to finally watch it last night - recommendation from my missus who will watch anything with 'ol Clint in it.

It actually wasn't what I was expecting to me honest - I've seen all of his other idealistic good vs bad style Westerns but this was a very grounded, more grey and realistic look at the brutal life of the wild west.

That last 10 mins though. Holy cow.

He used his strong forelimbs to reach inside the bridge of the ship, pull the last remaining crew member out, and eat most of him.  Not before said crew member put the ship in full throttle and a collision course to the San Diego harbor. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had they taken the creature a bit more seriously and invested a larger portion of film on the hunt instead of the flashbacks, it would've been aces for me.

Forgot how beautiful this film is to look at. Sure the story is a rehash of Dances with Wolves meets Pocahontas but I still dig it. Also I never realised how many subtle Alien references there are or it could be thinking too much. Sigourney of course, a character named Parker ... there is a line in the beginning (with the alternate opening) where the two suits address Sully by saying `... a substantial investment' or something like that similar to what is briefed to Ripley by the company execs in the debrief meeting scene in Aliens.

Kinda glad that didn't happen as Stephen Lang kinda steals the show for me even if he did shoot Ripley. Kept thinking through the whole film Pandora needs a Na'vi to stumble across a Derelict ;-)

Supposedly Lang originally auditioned for the part of Hicks so it all came full circle in the end.

And agreed that he's awesome in the film. I like Lang in general but he's clearly having an absolute blast as Quaritch!

Watched Underwater and I was very surprised with how much I liked it. Of course I went in with low expectations, which might have helped.

Nothing terribly new but had several elements reminiscent of Aliens thrown in the mix.

The creatures were great looking and the end monster was a surprise, I'd definitely recommend it!

That's what the Final Cut is supposed to be. I got it for Christmas but still haven't watched. Things like the French plantation are in, but severely reduced from their bloated forms in the Redux.

Having had a look at a comparison of what's different in the new cut, it seems as though he's taken out all the additions I liked and left in the ones I didn't :laugh:

For me, the best version would essentially be the Redux sans the plantation scene, which absolutely kills the pacing in the final third. Maybe a few other trims here and there.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Prez on Apr 22, 2020, 01:41:17 PM
See I actually enjoy the plantation scene ... it's such a out of left field diversion though and I totally get the arguments against it too.

I remember when I first saw it thinking was this just an acid trip hallucination and Willard wakes up on the boat drifting down the track. One could argue the film feels like that at times as a whole as the boat trip slowly descends more and more deeper and darker into madness.

I think I'll give the Final Cut a watch this weekend.

While the RTS game "Starcraft" may count as a Warhammer 40k ripoff, the Protoss from that game seems to be loosely based on the Skinnies from the Starship Trooper novel (oh yeah and the grey aliens pluss the Eldar from 40k).

The Shape of Water
The cinematography, art design, music and atmosphere was beautiful for this movie. But I had a hard time with some of the story, or lack there off. The jump from her finding the creature to loving it, felt rushed and could've used more build up. The facility they were in was never expanded on and how the maids walked around willingly with no supervision was hard to comprehend. (Yes, I know it's a movie about a creature who falls in love.)

I've enjoyed all of Del Toros movies but felt this one missed the emotional part that it was trying to convey, which was disappointing.

I thought the 'snow' looked terrible. It was obvious in most outdoor shots that they were shooting in a warm desert, especially toward the end I remember.

My biggest problem with Tremors 5 & 6 is Burt Gummer. I don't think his character is written well at all. In the first three movies, he feels like he has a mind of his own and can hold a conversation. But his character is now oversimplified into a grouchy old man. It feels like the budget version of Michael Gross, like he'd return to the series for these newer sequels as long as he didn't actually have to do much real acting.

Also, get Jamie Kennedy the F out of this series.

Baffling. The Carpenter effect.

Underwater

Despite finding Kristen Stewart's performance somewhat distracting I actually enjoyed this one. Visually the effects and sets were top notch. The action claustrophobic and the 'big bad' actually very cool. A little more exposition would've been nice but this one grabs you by the throat within minutes of starting.

The Alien riffs are non too subtle. We've got a Ripley, Dallas, Lambert and Hudson all in here.

I kept thinking an Alien film in this setting would be ace - we sought of got a bit of it in the Fast Track to Heaven graphic novel.

Baffling. The Carpenter effect.

Underwater

Despite finding Kristen Stewart's performance somewhat distracting I actually enjoyed this one. Visually the effects and sets were top notch. The action claustrophobic and the 'big bad' actually very cool. A little more exposition would've been nice but this one grabs you by the throat within minutes of starting.

The Alien riffs are non too subtle. We've got a Ripley, Dallas, Lambert and Hudson all in here.

I kept thinking an Alien film in this setting would be ace - we sought of got a bit of it in the Fast Track to Heaven graphic novel.

I gotta say that out of most the movies I've seen this year, Underwater was one of the best and most surprising. I actually paused the movie A few times to get closer looks at some details and I haven't done that in some time.

Watched half of the Abyss Special Edition tonight for the first time in years. Man if one film could use a 4K restoration it's this one. Beautiful looking film but my DVD quality looks it's age nowadays on my 4K TV. Aware there were some confirmations this was being worked on in May last year (UPDATE: found out HBO streamed the film in HD late last year and this was taken from the work in progress 4k transfer).

Nice little easter egg nod to Alien in Underwater. The captain is wearing a Weyland Yutani branded arm sling if you look closely.

A resounding meh.  It isn't scary at all, Pennywise just isn't menacing in any way.  Worst of all, the characters aren't fleshed out enough, the film feels like it is missing twenty minutes of development.  Had I cared about the characters more, I might have found it a little more scary, but everything done in the movie has been done before.  Shame, the kid actors were all excellent in their roles.

Watched this too, and completely agree. Although i think you kind of have to watch chapter 2 as well to assess the whole package. I don't think it works as 2 self contained films quite as well as something like LoTR for example

Yeah, I plan too.  IT is one of my all time favourite books, but cutting it down to just over two hours wasn't enough time to flesh out the characters as well as the book did.  It could have been 2 and a half to three hours long.  But I'm guessing studios didn't want it to be longer because that means less viewing time.  It's a shame because Stephen King's greatest strength is his ability to write believable, three dimensional characters and the movie didn't do them justice, which sucked because the kids were all perfectly cast.

The Predator
First time I've rewatched it in full since seeing it at the cinema.
Cut that last couple of minutes and it's actually a better ride than I remember.
Black & Dekker's (no pun) dark offbeat humour actually worked a lot better for me this time round.

I still have fun with this film. It tried to add something new to the mythos and whilst it was very hit and miss ... I would be curious to see how the 2 `friendly' predators would've worked out.

The global warming thing was in the script, as I recall the Predator home world was cooling down. I mainly wish we had gotten Black's original cut since the climax read as way more action packed and, well, climactic.

In the film it looks as though he shoots himself purely because Brackett calls his name and he turns to look at her and fires into the back of his own head like a dipshit.

The novel offers a slightly better explanation - his trouser [pants] leg is set on fire during the shootout that sets the Upgrade ablaze, and Brackett calls out to him to warn him (the implication being that in the chaos of the firefight and with the adrenaline pumping, Traeger hasn't noticed right away). The shock of realising he's on fire releases a surge of whatever hormones into his bloodstream, and this unintentionally triggers the plasmacaster and kills him, the weapon apparently having a degree of telepathic control built into it (not the first time that's been suggested) that he obviously hasn't mastered. It's still kinda silly, but it does make a hell of a lot more sense.

If you look very closely in the film, you can see Traeger's leg catching fire right before he kills himself, but it's cut so fast it's almost impossible to notice. I didn't pick up on it at all until after I read the novel and was specifically looking out for it, and even then I barely clocked it.

Highlander's a really weird movie for me because there's so much wrong with it, and yet the things that are right somehow save it. The first half is really kinda naff, but once you get to the "Who Wants to Live Forever" bit, it suddenly becomes a bloody good movie. You can absolutely tell it was directed by a music video director, and at times Mulcahy feels totally out of his depth, but at other times his direction shines. The casting of Lambert and Connery is totally wrong (Connery's great as always, but a Spaniard?!), yet Clancy Brown is so damn good as the villain. Some of the editing's shocking, especially in the first half, but then a lot of the later stuff is fantastic, with some great imagery. Tons of cringey, awful dialogue, but also some supremely memorable lines. Acting that covers the full range of talent. And the movie manages to almost totally squander it's core concept, and yet at the end of the day it still has that amazingly original idea of immortals battling through the ages.

Also - f*cking Queen did the music. How awesome is that?

As a movie it's completely and utterly all over the place, and yet somehow that only adds to its charm.

I tend to agree on this. I enjoyed it immensely but I also found it incredibly depressing and bleak to be honest (and this is coming from someone who loves gritty, dark superhero films).

In particular I found it very hard to reconcile with how Professor X checks out. Quite gutwrenching.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Most of this very good, but the explanation for what's going on is just so thoroughly meh to me that it kind of kills the film once it's revealed.

Such a criminally underrated war movie.  It didn't help that it came out the same year as Saving Private Ryan (which is a great war movie in its own right)  Stellar cast, brutal battle scenes and a score by Hans Zimmer that is yet to be matched in my opinion.  Journey to the Line scoring the attack on the Japanese camp and the voice over asking the question 'This great evil, where did it come from?  How did it steal into the world?' is one of the most effective pieces of cinema ever produced

After watching this video analysis on The Shining

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=emb_title&v=dW2GrG7Zk0U

I got around to rewatching the movie the other night. What a brilliantly crafted movie. I know Stanley Kubrick's adaptation changed a lot of the story it was based on but it was arguably for the best as it translated better for film and I personally love the darker take and subliminal messages by Kubrick.


So with my The Shining hype, it made me curious to finally watch Doctor Sleep last night. Even though Ewan McGregor is nice to look at, I've been avoiding the sequel because it looked like a cheapened follow up to the original movie, even though I know it was trying to be more faithful to the actual books.
Despite knowing that I still low key hated this movie as it was exactly what I expected. With a more over the top look at the Shining capabilities and constant rehash of the girl in the bathtub, it represents everything wrong with horror movies today. I much prefer the grounded and psychological approach Kubrick took.

McGregor is still hot though.

And I really don't buy the apparent Lovecraftian connections that were being touted after the movie released. There were parts of the movie that were pretty fun though.

As far as recent Alien knockoffs go, I preferred Life. I'm always down for more fish monster movies, though, so here's hoping the Aquaman spinoff about the Trench comes to pass.

Cthulhu is an eldritch entity with supernatural qualities. What we saw in Underwater is just a giant monster with tentacles, because of course: some tentacle abomination = Lovecraftian horror.

Spoiler
Everything after the mid station is just a chore. For a creature feature, the creatures don't seem to, well, feature.  When they do they spend most of their screentime just ... staring at the characters? They kill exactly one character directly and one indirectly, and even then it's unclear whether it meant to kill him or even knew that would happen.

I think that's what really struck me about the last half of the film. It was just a whole lot of things looking at things. The people look at the monsters. The monsters look back. And ... that's about it. Even the Cthulhu wannabe just kind of looks around and flexes its jaw.

The performances were good and I'm a sucker for scifi horror so I still found it entertaining.

Underwater was fun but I can't disagree with any of the criticisms, it's a slick looking B movie.

Phenomenal.  One of the most disturbing and gorgeous horror flicks I've ever seen.  Nic Cage seems tailor made for these weird, experimental movies.  His performance is subdued, and only exaggerated when it is absolutely necessary.  The rest of the cast are great, the setting, the tone, it all works.

I don't think we ever will. Even out of prison now, McTiernan has no clout left, and I doubt Disney cares enough to spend the money. I'd mainly just like to see the original version of The Mother, and maybe more of the one warrior who's barely even visible in the movie. Also once you know what the look for, it's almost hilarious just how tacked on the bad guy with the horns is.

The 13th Warrior

Shame this was such a massive bomb. It's honestly really good.

Still really want to see the Eaters of the Dead cut

I don't think we ever will. Even out of prison now, McTiernan has no clout left, and I doubt Disney cares enough to spend the money. I'd mainly just like to see the original version of The Mother, and maybe more of the one warrior who's barely even visible in the movie. Also once you know what the look for, it's almost hilarious just how tacked on the bad guy with the horns is.

Maybe depending on how well The Snyder Cut is perceived, other studios might go back to some older films and releasing the originals

Color out of Space

Phenomenal.  One of the most disturbing and gorgeous horror flicks I've ever seen.  Nic Cage seems tailor made for these weird, experimental movies.  His performance is subdued, and only exaggerated when it is absolutely necessary.  The rest of the cast are great, the setting, the tone, it all works.

His performance is subdued... He milks alpacas...haha

For me this film has some very good ideas but fails in its delivery alot of time and I get the feeling it was in the editing room that happened, there's numerous scenes that seem half done or don't really work in context of the overall story, the effects are really great mix of cg very much pinks and purples which is nice to see and practical effects which are awesome to see even if directly copying from the thing at points happens although really loved the mum and son creature alot. Nic cage for me seemed tagged on he wasn't as engaging as he was in mandy and the rest of cast was servely forgettable and generic( bug eyed goth daughter and stoner jock son) , that said its a low budget horror film in modern terms so it's to be expected I guess just doesn't hit for me as much I wanted Richard Stanley's comeback to film making to hit.

I've been trying to hunt down a good BluRay Region 2 version of the 13th Warrior for ages. Love that film.

Spoiler
First time I watched it though I must admit my initial (mild) disappointment in discovering the Wendols were merely human

That said it's a film I have been actually wanting to watch again in the past couple of weeks.

There are two Region 2 blu-rays, a German and a French disc. Which is more than Region 1 got.

And strictly speaking, 

Spoiler
The Wendol are leftover Neanderthals. The book only said as much in the faux non-fiction afterword, so it's not something the film could come right out and say.

I don't know why I haven't seen The 13th Warrior before, but now I'm looking forward to watch it. No to mention I like epic heroes like Beowulf. There are echoes of that in Michael Crichton's novel, according to what I read.  8)

Now, if the movie is that good, it's a shame that bombed at the box office.

The Predator

Oh boy. For a while I was kinda scared to re-watch the movie because suspected that it would turn out to be much worse than I remembered

...it kinda did and didn't. It still entertaining ride and I can easily watch it to the end. Loonies are still fun and Predator action is still ... OK ?

Movie's issues became more glaring to me though. You name it: messy editing, Fugitive's early death, autism stuff, global warming bullshit, Predator Dogs, Casey being scientist and shooting guns perfectly at the same time, "true warrior McKenna" twist, ending ... Movie full of flaws and I wouldn't be able to get much enjoyment out of it if didn't treat as nothing but "it's so trash it's fun"

Still not as bad as Requiem. I know it's not much of an achievement, but still ...

Crichton wrote the novel on a bet, to prove to a friend that Beowulf could be interesting and exciting. And I'd argue that for me, 13th Warrior is the best Beowulf movie, but there are so many I haven't seen.

Watched The Witch for the second time last night, and I loved it even more than the first time. I love the visuals, the score, the overall tone of it. I'm still vaguely unclear on 100% of what's happening, to be completely honest, but I put this one up there with It Follows, Hereditary, The Babadook, etc.

On top of everything you listed in particular there, on my second viewing of the movie I was truck by how horribly plotted it is. The long series of scenes where they're running around Tennessee suburbia in an RV is particularly aimless and doesn't feel like Predator at all.

While that's true, I do have a soft spot for RoboCop 2.

Den of Thieves

This wasn't a bad film, but the whole way through it felt like it was trying way too hard to be more notable than it was. At the end of the day it's nothing but a poor man's Heat, except with none of Michael Mann's finesse and the ultimately irrelevant twist that the cops are almost as bad as the guys they're chasing.

We park our cars in the same garage.

Temple definitely doesn't deserve it's bad reputation though. It's like Die Hard 2 - it's an awesome movie, just not quite as awesome as the ones either side.

Oh Temple is fantastic. It's almost like Indiana Jones meets a horror movie.

Simply brilliant. Whilst the actual moon mission sequences were incredibly realistic, overly tense and beautifully shot it was the human drama of Armstrong's personal life that captivated me.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Yep, this one is still my favorite. Beat for beat I think the movie is damn near perfect. And this is probably my favorite Connery performance as well.

And I find it kind of funny how this pulls the same villain reveal twist as For Your Eyes Only, and with the same actor, no less. :laugh:

I still can't get over how what was up until that point a completely unremarkable series following on from a cult scene-for-scene remake of Point Break suddenly pulled out such a good movie with Fast Five. It's legit one of my favourite action flicks of the last 20 years.

^ One of my favorite crime movies!



It's been years but I rewatched The Hills Have Eyes (2006). I still haven't seen the original movie but I think they really hit it outta the park with this remake even on its own. The trailer scene is still hard to watch. They did a great job with the cast, especially for the family as they really felt authentic and relatable.


Now onto the Evil Dead remake. :D

The original "The Hills Have Eyes" kinda reminds me of "The Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984) and "The Last House on the Left" (1972). It is a good B horror movie. But I prefer the remake.

Yeah crime and mob flicks aren't usually my thing either but there's definitely a handful that are great. The Departed is still my favorite of them though, what a cast and what a twist at the end.


That sounds about right for the original The Hills Have Eyes. The Last House on the Left is another one that's really hard to watch.

Ha yes, the BBFC in the 80's and early 90's had this bizarre hang-up with Ninja weaponry and headbutting of all things. No idea why.

I think one of the cartoon ninja hero turtles even had his nunchucks replaced with a more "respectable" (and much more dangerous) weapon.  :laugh:

Don't get me wrong, I quite liked that bit despite the ridiculousness of it all.

The hiding inside a fridge from a nuke was actually something doing the rounds during the cold war. Probably more of an urban myth than anything else, but the old 50's and 60's style fridges were quite large, sturdy and spacious inside. They were also lined with lead which is very effective in blocking gamma radiation bursts.

The new one. Not as bad as I anticipated, aside from the final act.

I went in with anticipation and boy was I let down. The movie was such a mess and hellboy constantly saying daddy and stuff like that through me off. Maybe if I watched it with no expectations I would've enjoyed it more.

Rambo: Last Blood - the f**k did I just watch?  First half was unusually dark and serious for a series that revels in silly over the top cartoon violence.  Then he turns into Jason Voorhees.  And he just couldn't let it go in the end.  Could've gone with a poetic, if clichéd shot of the rocking chair gradually coming to a stop as Rambo dies.  Nuh - rides off on his horse during the credits.

My expectations were extremely low. Was it the best story of the 3? No way. But it was a heavier ride. Sharper, less zany, less bloated, and nowhere near as...(for lack of a better term) family friendly. That short montage of giant demons near the end, Geez Louise. I want a DOOM movie with that kind of balls.

The little nod to Predator was nice too.

I think David played the part well, and the movie had lots of stuff to show off. For me, it was just a matter of divorcing it from Del Toro's films. Instead of Ron making another funny joke, somebody gets their face ripped off. Could it have been better? Yeah. Could it have been a lot worse? Absolutely.

Near Dark

This one is okay, but the clumsy third act alone (where Dollman pulls a cure for vampirism right out of his ass) precludes it from the masterpiece status people often attribute to it. And frankly, I don't think the movie would be as highly thought of it wasn't an 80s movie with multiple Aliens actors and a Tangerine Dream score. As far as 80s vampire movies go, Fright Night and The Lost Boys wipe the floor with it.

Even as someone who studied Wallace at school and knows what a pile of b.s. that movie is, it remains one of my favourites.

Glad it's not just me who doesn't get all the hype for that one. I thought it was boring as sin, despite the great performances from the Aliens family.

As for what I've been wathcing:

Bad Boys for Life

Given the reviews it got, I was expecting so much more from this. It was OK but the first (genuinely good movie) and second (genuinely ridiculous movie) were far more enjoyable.

Heavy Metal

Maybe it's just because I was heavily inebriated, but this was a hell of a lot better than I remembered. It's still clunky by modern standards and it drags a little towards the end (the final vignette, despite being arguably the most ridiculous, is also the most tedious), but nonetheless it's mad that this even exists and the soundtrack is ace.

People assigning Near Dark "Masterpiece status" might be a bit of hyperbole there  :) but I'm one of its unabashed fans.  Also I disagree with the premise it's highly thought of due to having Aliens actors. It's a discredit to Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton's enjoyable performances, especially when the role features Bill going full Paxton, it's so much fun regardless of his other roles in Weird Science, Aliens or Predator 2.  :P

And Fright Night I like. But Lost Boys? Passssss...  ;D

Judge Dredd aka Incomprehensible Shouting: The Movie

You know what? To hell with the haters, I love this film. It's absolute madness from beginning to end, one of the most comic book-looking movies ever made (at one point Stallone uses an assault rifle almost as big as he is), the villains are an absolute riot (constantly shouting), Max von Sydow turned in a perforce of which the movie is totally undeserving, and the score by Predator's Alan Silvestri is boss. Whisper it quietly but I far prefer this to the Karl Urban redo. It's so much more memorable, even if not always for the right reasons.

Every time I see it, the obvious edit when the clones start waking up reminds how badly I want the director's cut that will never happen :(

Big Dredd comic fan and likewise it's a guilty pleasure. They nailed the visual style perfectly but for me once Sly took off his helmet he became Sly and not Joe Dredd anymore.

The Urban film for a purist like me was superior and more faithful even if it was on a much smaller scale as I felt it was more true to the tone and character.

I enjoy them both.

That is unfortunate because Dredd was scripted and filmed long before The Raid.

I remember a lot of dimwits hollering "Raid Rip-Off, Raid Rip-Off!!" when Dredd was released shortly after The Raid. As if the makers saw The Raid and then thought it a smashing idea to make a cheap knockoff with a famous British comic book character as the lead.  ::)

I prefer Dredd to The Raid.

The Raid's great, but I actually thought it overstayed its welcome by the end. The final boss fight was incredibly frustrating for me.

Last movie I watched:

Pontypool

Been trying to track this down for years. A bit patchy, with the first and last 10 minutes or so weaker than the rest, but there's some great tension to be had.

I also noticed they used the sound of John Hurt during the chest bursting scene in Alien as audio of a zombie victim about half an hour in ;D

I have no idea and that's actually what I love about it. I like to think that it's actually just sheer force of will being exerted on the family. Martin's just a man, but a man whose being is focused on a singular purpose to the point the universe itself is like "Well I ain't f**kin' with that, I'll do what he wants." I think him being a supernatural entity himself would kind of take away from it a little.

Basically he isn't karma, but he's focusing karma like a laser beam.

Harbinger Down

Picked this up for next to nothing when the local Video Ezy finally closed down.  Wasn't expecting much as I'd heard it was pretty awful.  It wasn't really.  Henriksen was on form, the other main cast were decent enough.  The supporting cast less so.

I think it's greatest crime (setting aside how derivative it was) was that it didn't really properly showcase ADI's talent with creature effects.  When you think of some of the stuff these guys have done with animatronics over the years - I'm not sure I'd be putting this on the show reel.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: 426Buddy on Jul 13, 2020, 01:46:32 AM
I remember the lead up to Hrbinger Down. It was going to show everyone practical creature effects done right. This being after ADI got screwed on The Thing prequel effects.

After watching it I think it sent the wrong message to studios about the future of practical effects. Instead in of showcasing how effective they can be, Harbinger Down looked more like a warning on why you should go CGI.

I know the movie had a miniscule budget, I'm sure that didn't help.

That boy Martin to me is a ....

Spoiler
...version of the goddess Artemis. While I'd love Martin to be the embodiment of karma, in Greek mythology, a King kills a sacred deer of Artemis, and in turn, Artemis demands payment in blood, the sacrifice of the King's daughter. I know it's very on the nose with that title and all... but when I add in Martin's mother (who didn't even seem human at times and very much under the control of Martin) tis was the vibe I was dealt.   :)

The Raid's great, but I actually thought it overstayed its welcome by the end. The final boss fight was incredibly frustrating for me.

I agree. I watched them both pretty close to each other, can't remember which one I saw first. But by the end of The Raid, I kept thinking it never seemed to end, and was simply repeating itself.

Annihilation watched it again but this time with the missus. Great film. Alex Garland's film just seem to stick with me.

The Old Guard ... So I'm about half way through this and I'm finding Charlize Theron's character rather tiresome and cliched to be honest. Yawn. For someone so talented I'm starting to find her being a bit typecast as an action hero lately.

I am Mother another one I really enjoyed (2nd viewing). Nice to see it was made with a lot of local home town production talent too.

And that being said, yes. He didn't have to go through everything his father had to go through to be a Jedi. But hey, that was before the "dark times". In fact, I think that the complaints about Rey being somewhat powerful in the Disney trilogy are kinda hyperbolic.

The Force Awakens

If I can describe the movie in one word it will be this: exciting. It was very exciting movie and felt very much like homage to the original trilogy. I guess it's pure subjective matter whether you like such approach.Personally, I enjoyed it a lot. New characters were solid and I enjoyed the journey with them. And it was cool to see some of the classic ones

Spoiler
Solo's death was spoiled for me back in 2015 (I guess it was unavoidable) but I still enjoyed watching how it would play out.  I like the idea of Kylo Ren being son of him and Leia.  And I liked that they tried not to make him complete Vader rip-off but rather someone who was inspired by Vader and struggled to come close to his greatness. Especially, how they didn't really made that much of a deal with him taking off his mask. Also love sound effects of his lightsaber

What I really applaud movie for is that it gave me better sense of horror of war than the whole original trilogy.

Also, gotta love this:

"-- Where did you get this ?

-- Good question. For another time"

Yeah, I'm sure it would be explained in the sequels

" -- OH! I feel something.

  -- You feel it ?

  -- That's The Force!

  -- Really ?

  -- Wow! It must be really strong with you!

  -- Oh, I never thought ... OUCH ! "


" -- Where're you from?

  -- Nowhere

  -- No one's from nowhere

  -- Jakku

  -- All right, that is pretty much nowhere "
[close]

Rey and Luke dynamic is the best part of the movie, hands down. I would prefer if it would be given more time to develop and breathe. That said i didn't find other characters and their subplots to be too distracting or boring even despite the lack of fleshing out. Also, I find that jokes in that movie landed with me better than in TFA.

Spoiler
I enjoyed the idea that some people would be interested in war to go on and on and that they wouldn't care who they're selling their weapons to.

I really, REALLY dug Luke Skywalker in this movie (even if Mark Hamill himself didn't). The fact that he's pretty much solely responsible for Kylo Ren (and Leia losing her son) and chose exile and death, that he refuses to train Rey because he's scared to make the same mistakes is pretty bold and fascinating choice for the main protagonist of original  trilogy, IMO. The scene with Yoda was really sweet and I liked the puppet. And I loved the ending they've chosen for his character - I though it was badass and pretty fitting.

The whole sequence in Snoke's trone room was great too. Especially, visuals (gotta love red). When Kylo offered Rey to join him I really felt how alone he is.

Based on what I've heard about TRoS the whole thing about "you're nobody" doesn't really make much sense now, does it?
[close]

I know that movie has its problems but out of two I'd rather revisit this one than TFA. The Last Jedi tried to say something new even if it wasn't completely succesful in doing so

EDIT: Also, I freaking love Imperial March. And both TFA and TLJ refuse to give me it, dammit !  :-\

I still think there was some genuine emotion. I mean, he killed his own father. from his POV his master tried to kill him, Hux just hates his guts, Snoke manipulates him. Sure, he feels a bit of loneliness. Just the way he says "Please", almost crying makes me think that he doesn't tricking her

Beauty and the Beast 2017 live action movie - loved it.  I wasn't sold on the idea TBH, so I didn't see it upon release.  I should have, outstanding cast and they did a great job filling in some plot holes from the 1991 film.

Rogue One

It was OK. Premise was OK, plot was OK, characters were OK, acting was OK, visuals were OK, score was OK. Nothing really outstanding, but a fun ride nonetheless. It was cool to have whole new set of characters without trying to shoehorn the classic ones

Spoiler
Oh, wait ... Darth Vader. It was cool cameo, but I desired a bit more.

Oh, wait ... Princess Leia. Oh, wait ... Tarkin

Some of movie's concepts were interesting. Such as Imperial labor camp, reprogrammed Imperial droid (T2, anyone ?)  and blind monk

Final act could've been a bit shorter with a bit less battle scenes between rebels and stormtroopers

I guess, It was kinda balsy  to kill both of main protagonists. Oh well, as long as they're not Skywalkers or Solos ...
[close]

The Rise of Skywalker

IT WAS THE WORST STAR WARS MOVIE EVER DISNEY WHAT WERE YOU THINKING I HOPE YOU GO BANKRUPT AFTER THIS ONE!!!

Seriously though, not as bad as I thought but not as good as previous two either. TFA was exciting, TLJ was provoking, TROS I felt for the most part was kinda empty

Spoiler
I struggled to follow the story and characters' actions in first two acts. So, they go there, meet someone then fly away to another place, meet someone else and so on and on until the finale

Chewbacca's "death" was stupid. It was revealed that he wasn't 5 minutes later and characters knew it 10 minutes later. So yeah, kinda pointless

As pointless as C3PO mind wiping.  "Hux is the spy" bit at least made some sense and was quite funny:

" -- I'm the spy.
  -- WHAT!?
  -- YOU!?
  -- You don't have much time.
  -- I KNEW IT!
  -- No, you did not. "

I wished he would live

About the Palpatine - It was really shoe-horned. "Somehow Palpatine returned" - did they actually put that line in the movie? So he built that f**king fleet without  anyone knowing. Ok, how ? When ? With what resources ? Who exactlly was building it?

Rey was his granddaughter ? Her parents were not alcoholics and actually loved and cared for her ? OK, nevermind

On the other hand, Emperor was legitimately terrifying, I'll give movie credit for that. In ROTJ he was more ugly and disguisting than scary but here I thought he was SCARY. His lair was cool too

I glad Kylo Ren turned good and moment with him and Han was really touching. But, I guess, that scene's only purpose was for Ben to lose his lightsaber so Rey could help him in the final fight.

Seeing Mark Hamill was cool too. They did good job with putting Leia into the movie even despite the obvious obstacles

It's good franchise. Pretty good. I wouldn't say that it neccesarily worse than Alien or Predator. They very different franchises to me and each have their own merits.

I didn't fall in love with it. Alien always was and is my "sci-fi franchise". Maybe if I was exposed to SW earlier everything would turn out differently

Rogue one, IMO, is probably the best Star Wars film to come out in this new batch. After seeing where the new sky walker went, it's nice to pop that in and be introduced to new characters and setting.

Land of the dead was Romero's last good zombie film before he came out with Diary and Survival.

Concerning Sacred Deer:

Spoiler
Am I the only who can't really comprehend the fact that he doesn't come to the conclusion to whack the wife? I mean I have no kids but I was watching it with the girlfriend and we instantly agreed to whack each other before one of our own kids. This might even apply to random kids not of our own (a lot harder even, but think about it: whacking a child?) . The wife doesn't wann die, survival instinct kicks in, no problem. But him, he gets a lot time to process the whole thing... I dunno

Well, it's an extreme situation and the film is not exactly trying slavishly to be realistic. Still it kinda bothered me throughout the film.

Star Wars Episodes I-III

One more time I've been proven that it's better to make your own opinion about something. I've watched all three of them in one day, so they kinda blend into one big story for me. It was engaging story. Yeah, dialogue and acting wasn't quite up there at times and amount of CGI sometimes made it feel as videogame cutscene. But it had distinct vision, atmosphere, aesthetic and made SW's seem world so much bigger and broader to me.

Spoiler
Personally, I think the idea of telling Anakin's story and story of Republic's fall was great choice for prequel trilogy. It makes such contrast to OT which is full of "hope" while prequels just go more and more "hopeless". For instance, scene of Anakin's mother death or whole "Execute Order 66" sequence, let alone the final fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan which is among the coolest shit I've seen in any of the SW films

The house that jack built - this will be the fourth Lars Von Trier movie I've seen (Nymphomaniac, antichrist and melancholia being the others) and liked it.

Matt Dillion did a good job as an OCD serial killer and the cinematography was nice. Lagged on about midway through and probably could've cut the runtime. I still think Antichrist was his hardest to watch..

Did you watch the T2 special edition with Michael Biehn?

Yes. We made sure of it.

Now the big question. Which is your favorite?

That's a hard question.

I liked the slower pace of the second one, but I also liked the soundtrack and Michael Biehn in the first one.

I'm The Terminator original-film-is-best guy myself, but it sounds like you enjoyed them both. Glad to hear!

And you finally completed your Michael Biehn Appreciation Course! Congratulations!

Infinity War

Pretty much the same thing as with The Last Jedi: not really a fan of franchise but heard enough good things to grow more and more curious and finally watched it

So, not really a Marvel fan. Out of all MCU movies properly watched only Guardins of the Galaxy (which I really enjoyed). However there wasn't a single moment where I struggled to keep up with story - movie gave me just enough information to fill the gaps which was quite welcome. Vision is a robot with Infinity Stone in his lobe? Dr. Strange is a magician ? Thanos has a gauntlet ? OK, nevermind

Spoiler
Thanos just steals this show. I really like when villain is driven by something more than basic desire of "ruling the entire universe". The fact that his goal is somewhat honorable (even if ways are not so much) makes him even more fascinating character and creates conflict within the soul of a viewer.  His ruthlessness and pure "don't give a shit" attitude in collecting Stones is really something to admire. Also, I'm kinda surprised he had to collect all of the Stones in one movie. I thought he was supposed to be background villain of MCU who collected these Stones  throughout all of 20+ Marvel movies

Yeah, the ending. I guess, people turning in dust instead of melting alive or exploding from inside with a tone of gore is something you just have to do when your movie is PG-13. But I think it was used quite effectively and it just isn't a visual we get to see in movies much. Also, the fact that protagonists just lose and final shot of the movie is villain with a smile of satisfaction is pretty balsy choice in my book. I know that they all come back in Endgame and Thanos eventually loses, but I just don't care and appreciate quite dark ending of Infinity War.

... but they spared Cap, Iron Man and Thor  :P

Also, I applaud to the person who was smart enough to not put some stupid cheerful music in credits - it was perfect final nail, it was a statement: "yes, we wiped half of the universe and we gonna end our movie on that note". It's a problem I have with Star Wars movies - someone just decided that every Star Wars movie just has to start and end with the exact same music. When ending is supposed to be grim and depresing it just doesn't work when it's immediatly followed  with jolly as f**k score. The same goes for Predators. Why, oh why you put Long Tall Sally in the end of Predators? It isn't even part of the movie score - it's just exploitation of nostalgia and it even wasn't done right

The Abyss: Special Edition

How was it ?

Endgame

It took me only 2nd viewing to realise that there're 2 Sherlocks in MCU  :o

Spoiler
First of all, time travelling. It feels a bit like cheap move just to bring everyone back. I guess, writters have put themselves in situation where you just can't deal with it other than with time travel by making Thanos destroying all of Infinity Stones. Tbh, I would've liked MCU move on after Infinity War in that kinda post-apocalyptic setting without "we can't live without who we love so we need to bring them back by any means". Just let the heroes actually lose for one goddamn time and be infuenced by it, to carry that guilt and cope with it !

Anyway, even if you bring time travelling - you need to earn it for it to not feel cheap and cheaty. Show me characters struggling to get it ! Show me Stark writting and tearing countless pieces of paper for endless days and nights ! Show me him biting his knuckles in anger, being completely exhausted by depression and desperation ! Show me him giving up and coming back ! Show me him reaching out for help, colaborating with Hulk and whoever else smart in MCU ! You can't show me sorta funny scene with Hulk experimenting and Stark just inventing time machine like it's nothing and then eating ice cream and expect me to feel something. It's not unrealistic - it's laughable, it feels like a joke and if your plan to bring back half of universe is a joke you can't make me really invested in it

I have mixed feelings about Thanos, too. Brolin's acting was top notch. His first introductory scene was excellent and beatiful and for me, probably the best scene in the whole movie. It's so perfect and logical development of character from where we've last seen him in Infinity War. It solidifies him as non-stereotypical villain - he thinks he's done greater good for Universe, he's done his job, he's reached his goal - what else would he be doing other than Shrekking around, living peacefully in a hut, farming and enjoying his rest ?  Tbh, I felt bad when Thor decapitated him - i know whole "but he killed half of Universe how can you care for him !?rageragerage" deal, Again, he made it seeing it as "greater good", he wasn't enjoying people suffering (if you ask me turning into dust is probaly one of the least painful ways to go), wasn't gonna cause any more trouble after completing his ultimate task and even destroyed the Stones to destroy "temptation". Arguably, the whole previous movie was told from his POV.

But then we're left without Thanos for the rest of the movie only for people to go "OMG they've killed Thanos in the beginning, what a subversion of my expectations !" But we still need him for a grand final battle, right? So what we gonna do ? Bring him back but from the past ! Problem solved. The way they brought him into conflict is also a problem for me. What's the whole deal with Nebula having binary memories ? What ? Why ? Admittedly, I haven't properly watched almost any of MCU movies so maybe I've missed something - please, point me towards where it was established. It feels same as with time travel - just because. Just because we need Thanos involved somehow too. And his all final speech about "Scrap that kill-half-of-the-universe plan, now I basically wanna be a God, wipe entire Universe, create a new one so it's gonna be grateful for it's existence entirely to me and nobody but me" just robes him of all depth he had in Infinity War. It retcons his point in IW entirely - no he's not doing it for the greater good of Universe, he's doing it just because he wants everyone in Universe to be grateful to him. I lost any investment in him, he just became "I hate you so much right now and not for a good reason" villain. I guess, it's a good thing I hate him now, because he's gonna get his ass kicked by Avengers. But I just miss the times when I felt conflicted about his actions. And what's with "kill the entire Universe now and destroy your stubborn annoying little planet with enjoyment" part ? Why ? You actually have a proof that you've succeeded in the future ! Just wipe all of the Avengers (because it's only them who're standing in your way, not the entire Earth, you idiot) and HALF of the Universe and go back to Shrekking around. I guess, he was pretty pissed off watching his own head being cut off so it's clouded his judgement or something. For me, there're two distinct Thanoses in the movie. First one is right from the ending of IW and I love him. Second one is more of a generic villain and I don't like him as much.

It may sound as if I didn't enjoy the movie. But I did ! Even despite it's problems there're a lot of things to enjoy in Endgame. I liked the premise of "11 friends of Ocean but with time travel". I liked that this journey to save half of universe wasn't  overblown and artificially EPIC but rather small and personal and emotional. I liked reinterpretation of scenes from the previous movies I haven't watched, how movie actually made fun of it and of itself.

The opening scene with Stark and Nebula was great. It such unlikely friendship and I love it so much.  Especially. I like Nebula. There's still so much anger and sorrow in her and it was interesting to see her still not used to be treated well by others. Inside she's a good person but it seems as she constantly expects to be stabed in the back and it makes her character even more tragic. That little moment between her and Thanos at the beginning was good too. And damn, she even had to shot herself ! Geez

I actually liked Fat Thor. I know, he was used mostly for jokes (most of them I enjoyed, Fortnite one was cringy) but I still felt that loss in him. I guess, failing sucks even more when you're a god. The scene with his mother was sweet and emotional. It was cool to see him wreck havoc in the final battle. Some people said it should've been hin to defeat Thanos but I actually liked that he didn't get that and think it has potential to be used in future movies. You know, sometimes in your life you DON'T get a chance to redeem yourself and just have to learn to live with it.

Hulk in this movie was probably the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Selfie joke was cringe but other than that I loved him. It just so hearthwarning to see this green hulking (;D) giant being so nice and embarassed watching himself from the past. That scene with Antman and taco was just soooo sweet.

And, of course, final battle. It makes the whole movie worthwhile and I can re-watch Endgame for that scene alone. I think, the whole movie was made for that scene alone. Seriously, Marvel guys outdid themselves with that one. Even though I have problems with HOW characters got to that point the battle itself was great in my opinion. I experienced legit nerdgasm when portals started opening and I even don't know these characters that well ! It was what "but there're more of us" from TROS wanted to be and should've been. The look of surprise on Thanos' face was brilliant touch. It didn't feel as just a battle it felt as as FREAKING BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL THEMSELVES ! Even though I have problems with "Thanos from the past" I still enjoyed him being so berserk and able to keep up with all of the Avengers even without his f**king Gauntlet. Even though I have problems with his "new plan" I still felt tension "because he's gonna do it again OMG!" and wanted heroes to win as much as I want them to win at the end of IW. And his death was well executed. For a one final moment, I saw a glimpse of Thanos from IW - he didn't go roaring in pain or trying to kill Stark - he accepted his defeat and quietly waited for his death.

I actually surprised how much of a epilogue there's in a movie. What, 20 minutes, at least ? Final shot with Cap being able to live life he always wanted and just being happy is perfect send off for his character, movie and whole era.

Couple of words on how watching Endgame influenced my opinion on Infinity War. *insert drumroll here* !!!SPOILERS!!! It didn't. I still enjoy IW for what it is and I enjoyed Endgame even despite problems I had with it. They don't feel like two parts of one story (even technically they totally are), they feel like two separate stories with distinct tones. IW is like Empire Strikes Back or Alien 3 while Endgame is more of Return of the Jedi or Aliens. So, I still gonna watch IW for its more dark and depressive tone and dream about what could've been with world after The Snap and watch Endgame when I want a ton fun and optimism. For the most part, problems of Endgame come from just how high the bar and expectations were set after IW and It's maybe even impossible to come up with 100 % satisfactive Part 2 after such Part 1

P.S. How the f**k Iron Man managed to get all of the Stones just be holding Thanos' hand for what - 10 seconds ?

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Really great, entertaining stuff. And for a film made under the Hays Code, they sure as shit let Robin rack up quite the body count here. There's a montage consisting entirely of him killiing evil knights with his bow.



Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932)

It's a little dated in a few places, and the use of close ups doesn't quite work, but overall it's really good, and very straightforward with the subject matter for a 30s film.

That's very true. I think I've read comments from Jackie Chan about how frustrating all of the safety restrictions were for him in Hollywood. "Give me fifty bucks, I'll jump out of the tree, and we'll be done!" :laugh:



Gamera vs Barugon

A bit of a step up from the first, with a more mature tone and a cool new monster. I do think there's a bit too much back and forth with all of the different attempts at stopping Barugon and Onedera being a jackass, though.



Gamera vs Gyaos

This one goes back to more of a child based movie, but I think it handles it really well, with strong pacing and yet another cool new monster in Gyaos. And the fights are even gorier than before, which is a plus.

Recently been in mood to watch some Batman movies

Batman (1989)

That movie is just oozing with style. Sets, costumes, score - love it. Jack's performance as Joker is ripped straight from the comics.

Batman Returns

It's definetly Tim Burton's Batman movie - from beginning (freak child being thrown into river and then raised by penguins) to ending (Penguin's death in particular). I found myself carring much more about the plot and characters then in the first one. Penguin is such a tragic character - I was really sad when he died and I liked re-interpretation of his character as more litteral "penguin". De Vitto's performance is great. I like Pffeifer's Catwoman although I feel Burton made her a bit too edgy and sexualised. And what the deal with " I just can't live with myself" bit in the end ? I don't get it

Batman Forever

It's loud and bright and bombastic and all over the place and I like it for that. It's middle point between Burton's dark vision and cartoonish feel of B&R. Nicole Kidman is hot, although, it's a bit strange when so called psychiatrist acts like that. Val Killmer did a good job playing kinda haunted Bruce Wayne. Chris O'Donnell - eh, no here, no there. Carrey's Riddler is just Carrey playing himself and a lot of fun because of that. Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face is while fun unfortunately completly wrong for the character. I actually prefer Goldental's score to Elfman's - it's much more catchy for me. And dare I say it but the movie IMO has the best Bat-suit even despite nipples. It looks extremely good in marketing stills:

Batman Begins

Mostly enjoyed it for the "origins" parts. Liam Neeson played great Ra's Al Ghull as well as Cillian Murphy played great Scarecrow. Garry Oldman was great choice for Gordon as well as Michael Caine for Alfred. I find it's interesting that for his first "realistic" Batman movie Nolan've chosen one the most unnatural villains. Also, I like this Bat-suit more than in the next two even though it looks a bit bulky for Bale

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight Rises

I love this one. I feel in that one Nolan went a little beyond "realistic Batman" into more "comic-book Batman". I mean, the whole city being held hostage by group of terrorists using nuclear bomb feels much more comic-booky to me. It's much more energetic and at no point in the 2 hour and 40 minutes movie I felt bored. I love Bane, especially, his look and his funny voice. His initial confrontation with Batman was terrifying and I was so happy when Batman kicked his ass later. He has so much charisma and I would put him without hesitation on the same level with Ledger's Joker. Kinda sorry he went out as a bitch. Talia was "twist for the sake of the twist" but still worked for me as a villain. I prefer this more grounded Catwoman to one from Returns and think she has great chemistry with Batman. There wasn't too much of Alfred in the movie but his scenes were pure emotion, especially the one in the end. I felt really invested into Batman's journey in this one, all logical problems aside. Him litteraly "rising" from that pit is beatiful and symbolic and poetic and just great in generall. I really dug that sorta post-apocalyptic desert-streets Gotham. Scarecrow-judge was a nice touch too. And it's so heartwarming to see a happy ending for Bruce. It wasn't fake death - because Batman actually died in that nuclear explosion

Also, gotta love this:

Gamera vs Viras

This is much more tolerable in the original Japanese theatrical cut, since the stock footage montage isn't nearly 20 minutes long like it is in the AIP cut. It's still not that great, though, as the budget is obviously a lot lower and it just isn't all that interesting. The final fight with Viras is pretty good, though.

The Black Stallion Returns (1983)

I've always had fond memories of this movie on VHS as a kid, and even as a adult it still holds up in 2020 as one of my top horse movies. Twilight Time did a great job on the remaster and I'm glad I managed to snag a copy from eBay because apparently they're out of business now so the blu ray copies are limited edition I think. Well at least I'll have a movie to show my future children if they ever become obsessed with horses like I still am.  :laugh:

"Thees... son of bitch!"

Amazing movie, glad I finally got around to it.



Gamera vs Guiron

While I could do without the subplot about the younger sister and the mothers, overall this is a very fun children's adventure movie with some good action and humor. And Guiron is not to be f**ked with, he's a cold bastard.



Gamera vs Jiger

A fun one, with a bigger budget and more fights than the last two. And of course there's the infamous plot point where Gamera gets Jiger's larva implanted in his lung and the kids have to abort it Fantastic Voyage style. Yeah, David would probably like this one. ;D

The Black Hole - Every time I watch this I'm convinced there's a good movie in there somewhere.  There's a bunch of religious allusions in the earlier parts of the film that tie in to the ending that I'd never noticed.  And the parallel between how Maximillian kills Anthony Perkins and how Vincent kills Maximillian.

The music is cool, but the tempo is all wrong for the action shoot-out scenes.  The matte paintings are often really good too - until your eye is drawn to where the set stops and painting begins and it's... yikes.  I wonder if they fixed this for Blu-ray.  Might have a look on Disney+ and see what it looks like.

Someone needs to redo this and link madness to what we actually know about black holes - radiation, gravity distorting time etc.

I think a remake is one of the many things Disney pumped the brakes on after Tomorrowland bombed. But, if a new Tron movie is back on then I guess this could be, too.

QuoteWhile "Alexander: The Ultimate Cut" may still have some problems that no amount of reediting or restructuring can overcome, it is now an incontestably better work than it once was and deserves to be considered as the proper version of the film in the way that the full length "Heaven's Gate" is now regarded after its years in the cinematic wilderness.

Wonder Woman

Very surprised how much I enjoyed it. I knew it was one of the better out of DC bunch but I didn't expected it being that good. Not masterpiece by any means but definetly one I would love to re-watch

Spoiler
Unsurprisingly, the whole movie is carried by the main lead. I really enjoyed Gal Gadot in the role as naive and kinda childish in her "black and white" view of the world. And I haven't felt that movie tried to shove her "badassery" down my throat. These moments were used sparingly and far in between and I cheered and "f**k yeah"-ed when they occured

The rest of the cast was great too. Even though Chris Pine's character kinda pushes the movie into "strong woman but only with a man holding her back" teritory but it wasn't full-on romance and didn't distract from the main plot. I was glad to see Ewen Bremner - I liked him in AvP and I liked him here.

I dug the setting and historical period. I think movie did a good job showing "horrors of war" - it didn't shy from them but didn't go over-the-top with them either. I think it's one of the movie's main positives - it was smart and calculative with using most of its elements which made none of them feeling forced. Though, I still cringed at some moments. I understand it's set at the beginning of XX century but do you really need to put all of these fat moustached men with their mean "Ugh, women" comments ? It was comical and not necessarily in a good way

The movie actually made good use of its "super-weapon" - introduction scene for "gas" was pretty scary and unsettling

My only real complaint is final fight and to be more precise - its unnecessarity. Honestly, I think movie could've done better without Ares being involved at all. General What-his-name-dorf was a good villain for an origins story. I mean, the whole point of the movie is Diana realising that people can be evil on their own without some super-god. And still we have that exact god only for her to fight someone in the end. And I saw twist coming maybe half-way through. It was generic and plain "meh". And Diana observed the whole villaige dying BUT its death of a one man that unleashed her full power ? Yawn.

Fortunately, it didn't really influence the whole experience, It was a good comic-book movie and it was just a good movie. Fin

I wanted to badly to like Wonder Woman, and there were things about it that I honestly did, but overall, it just really kept falling apart as it went along. :-\

A lot of the issues I had with it, especially in the third act, felt very similar to the issues I have with Zack Snyder movies. And with him not guiding the tone and style of DC Universe anymore, I have higher hopes that the sequel might succeed where the first one fell flat for me.

Spoiler
I feel that ending was forced upon director. It doesn't seem as director's original intention at all and that's why I'm a bit more forgiving towards it. I think the point "people can be evil on their own" was made because of Ares saying something along these lines: "Look, I'm not controlling them - I'm just providing them with toys to play". Just his appearance in the movie at all distracted from that point. Also, it went against something I really liked about the movie untill that point - it was semi-realistic story set in WWI with Wonder Woman thrown in it. They should've made General the main baddy of the show. Transition between these two scenes was jarring. I can easily imagine some over-payed producer thinking: "Well, you can't call it a super-hero movie unless we have her fighting some unnatural creature at the end. Oh, and put shot of grenades flying towards her - that should be COOL!"

And that so-called "diplomat" wasn't convincing as God of War at all

A lot of the issues I had with it, especially in the third act, felt very similar to the issues I have with Zack Snyder movies. And with him not guiding the tone and style of DC Universe anymore, I have higher hopes that the sequel might succeed where the first one fell flat for me.

Can you elaborate on this, please ? I think movie was pretty strong and cohesive right untill the ending

The ending was a trainwreck and definitely the worst offense - generic gray CGI man that she fought at the end looked no different to me than what I've seen of the BvS and JL villains.

But even before that, there was a lot that wasn't working for me. Crazy amounts of speed ramping, which I just think looks ugly. The WWI action sequence looked mostly nice, but the Zimmer Wonder Woman theme was laughably out of place both in the scene and compared to the rest of the film's score. There were some other things that lost me in between all that, but I honestly don't remember vividly at this point - I haven't seen the movie since the theater and haven't felt any inclination to revisit it. What bummed me out about it the most, though, was that it had all the right pieces to work with; Gadot was excellent, the Diana/Steve chemistry was there, the WWI setting offered up a lot of great ideas. The film just never really amounted to anything past the sum of its disjointed parts.

I am very much liking the trailers for the sequel, however. Can't make promises that I'm going to see it in the theater, 'cause honestly, I don't know if I'm going to be stepping foot in a theater any time soon if COVID cases here don't really start declining. But otherwise, I absolutely would be seeing it on the big screen, and I will be seeing it at the earliest possible point that I can.

Taxi Driver

Liked it a lot. Turned out to be much less violent than I thiught. I have a soft spot for that kind of setting - night city full of bright colors with light jazz in background. Liked score a lot too. Young De Niro looks nothing like 2019 De Niro

Also, Joss Whedon must've watched this shortly before writting script for Resurrection because:

Spoiler
1. There's guy with a gun up his sleeve

2. There's guy cleaning his boots

3. There's guy who got knife through his hand

Also, could somebody explain to me - was that ending supposed to be real or him dreaming in coma ? Because I find him being treated as a hero and not even jailed as kind of unplausible

The Dark Knight Rises

I love this one. I feel in that one Nolan went a little beyond "realistic Batman" into more "comic-book Batman". I mean, the whole city being held hostage by group of terrorists using nuclear bomb feels much more comic-booky to me. It's much more energetic and at no point in the 2 hour and 40 minutes movie I felt bored. I love Bane, especially, his look and his funny voice. His initial confrontation with Batman was terrifying and I was so happy when Batman kicked his ass later. He has so much charisma and I would put him without hesitation on the same level with Ledger's Joker. Kinda sorry he went out as a bitch. Talia was "twist for the sake of the twist" but still worked for me as a villain. I prefer this more grounded Catwoman to one from Returns and think she has great chemistry with Batman. There wasn't too much of Alfred in the movie but his scenes were pure emotion, especially the one in the end. I felt really invested into Batman's journey in this one, all logical problems aside. Him litteraly "rising" from that pit is beatiful and symbolic and poetic and just great in generall. I really dug that sorta post-apocalyptic desert-streets Gotham. Scarecrow-judge was a nice touch too. And it's so heartwarming to see a happy ending for Bruce. It wasn't fake death - because Batman actually died in that nuclear explosion

Also, gotta love this:

Sorry to backtrack but there's one major issue with the movie I forgot to mention. While watching ending of The Dark Knight I was thinking "Damn, whole police is on Batman's tail. What he's gonna do now ?". I expected Rises to be Batman vs Police movie. Take police chasing Batman sequence from Mask of the Phantasm but stretch it as a whole movie. You know, not only there's some villain to worry about but also lots of cops interfering constantly and trying to kill Batman. Maybe even scene where Gordon would be forced to chase and shoot him. So Dark Knight would have to fight twice as hard, bring all resources - physical, intelectual, spiritual - he has, to win

In actual TDKR we got only one police chase scene and confrontation between Batman and GCPD wasn't really focus of the movie, was it ? Oh, and Batman quit being Batman even though you wouldn't expected that at the end of TDK - at least to me, It seemed at that point he was as confident being Batman as ever. Rises is still my favourite of the triliogy but part of me will always want to see the movie ending of TDK promised.

Has anyone felt that way too ?

Never actually occurred to me. The jump forward in time must have just filled the gap. But yeah, fast forwarding to older/depressed batman kinda took the edge off it.

That being said, TDK is still the high point of the trilogy for me. First film felt a bit light, and the last one just felt too slow and bland. Nolans version of Bane didnt help much either.

YOUTAKETHATBACK!!!  >:( >:( >:(

Seriously though, I've not read much  of Batman comics and read none of Batman comics with Bane. So, I don't really know what "comic-accurate" Bane supposed to be. For me, Bane was probably the best part of the movie. Man is funny and horrific at the same time. You can have charisma poisoning by just looking at him. My only problem with him is that he was killed off as a bitch by freaking Catwoman on a bike. It should've been Batman to deliver final blow

The problem wasn't hardy's performance. I just think Bane is one of those characters that's best done the comic book or Arkham way (if you will), and that just wasn't a good fit for the story they were telling.

It would've been like having killer croc just be some guy with alligator boots. I'd rather have seen a different character substituted for that role. He was basically just a terrorist.

Whatever your answer is, you admitted that Hardy was top notch, so we're cool  ;)

BTW, what about Talia? That's one hell of a "out of nowhere" villain. I'd like it more if movie would stick with Bane to the end

That's issue I have with Nolan's trilogy as a whole. He's trying too hard to, on one hand, have "realistic" Batman and on the other, to keep more unrealistic elements in by reinterpreting them. For instance, It's bit of paradox for me that for the first chapter of his "realistic" Batman saga he's chosen one of the most unrealistic villains - Ra's Al Ghul. Or Scarecrow's mask being part of his psychological experimets. Or Joker using make-up instead of being completely white-skinned. Or. there being backstory for nickname "Two-Face". He's trying too hard to be smart with it. That's why I like Rises so much - I feel like Nolan at that point moved just a bit away from "realsitic" Batman towards more "comic-booky" one

TBH I stand by hokey CG Jeff Bridges. It looks truly terrible in the flashback at the start of the movie when it is young Kevin Flynn in the real world... but through the majority of the movie, when it is representing a computer program surrounded by all the neon lights and such, it doesn't bother me. There's a real uncanny valley effect for sure, but it existing in the digital world lessens the blow.

Annihilation

It's great sci-fi movie (especially for its budget which is ridiculous) and it definetly has something to say (even if I struggle to understand what exactly) but I can't say it's a movie I'm dying to re-watch. Not neccesarily my cup of tea. It's good every two-three months movie, I'd say

Spoiler
Thanks to Mike Stoklasa, I've noticed that lair of "alien" in the end looks Giger-esque as f**k. Seriously, I'm ashamed not seeing that watching movie first time. So, #TeamGarland  ;D

Also, everyone talks about that f**king bear. But for me the moment when they cut guy's belly open and his guts were f**king moving was the most unsettling one. I had to turn away for couple of seconds and last time I remember doing that was many years ago watching Ripley's chestburster scene from Aliens. Ugh

I dug the visuals. Even despite its low budget movie conveyed feeling "something wrong with this place" pretty well and was subtle with it not revealing everything at once. A lot of things were just shown and not commented by characters which was highly appreciated. "Lair" definetly had 2001 vibe to it. And score complemented it perfectly

Outland

Absolutely loved it. From start to finish. Just as easily could be called "Colonial Marshal: The Fangasm Experience"

I can jerk-off to these visuals. If Ron Cobb wasn't involved, someone sure was heavily inspired by his work. This movie is SO in Alien universe - right from the openning sequence. Nowadays it would be called Alien spin-off. f**k you, Predator, f**k you, Blade Runner. I wanna my sweet Alien-Outland crossover now with Sean Connery fighting Aliens. There were so many shots where I can practicaly feel Ridley Scott was behind the camera. Give up Peter Hyams or whatever your name is - your true identity has been exposed.

It was so nice to hear Goldsmith's score. While it never reached the same heights of weirdness as in Alien, it was great anyway and I applaud the person who had a thought of bringing him in

And not only visuals and score were Alien - characters were too. It's like someone saw cut of Alien with everything "Alien" taken off, decided to make something similair and upped it to 11. Characters' dynamics conveyed that "working class" feel of Alien perfectly. Everybody doing their job and complaing about their salary. And evil Company f**king with people is here too

Sean Connery was great lead. I'm in love with his accent. Frances Hussey Sternhagen as a doctor reminded me of doctor from Predator 2 (come on, Voodoo, you know her name). Peter Boyle played slimmy villain very well - I was happy when Connery kicked him in the face. I had some genuine chuckles from characters dialogue. For example:

Spoiler
-Lazarus? This is O'Niel. I'll see you in hospital, right away

-You know what time it is ?

-Yes

-You better be dying
[close]

And moral of the story, kids, is - decompression is your enemy. Seriously, every decompression scene was hillarious

Final verdict: Outland is must-see for anyone who dares calling himself/herself/itself an Alien fan

Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition

I have Rise of Skywalker deja vu all over again. If you only listen to internet you might think this is one of the most terrible things ever made. I'm rather enjoyed it than not. It's probably on the same level with Batman Begins for me - not in terms of competent film-making but purely in terms of enjoyment.

Spoiler
I watched it mostly for Batman parts and surprisingly there wasn't as much of Batman action which is a bit dissapointing. On the other hand, I felt Batman had a nice sense of build-up. At the beginning, you see only glimpses of him moving on walls like literal giant bat. Especially I liked bit at LexCorp - you just see him droping from above on camera and that's enough to give you idea of what happened. I saw bits of warehouse fight on YT but didn't expect to see it this late in the movie. I'd say it was well done - better than all fight scenes in Nolan trilogy. Oh, and Alfred was just kinda there

I don't really care much about Superman tbh. I felt that while there was not enough Batman there was sure a lot of Superman. I mean, Jesus Christ he already had a whole movie dedicated to him. Why not develop the character you introduce in that movie instead ? That said, I enjoyed that interpretation of Superman. There were several moments when he was genuinely terrifying. That's why I was satisfied when Batman kicked his ass.

Lex Luthor was more of a Joker than Lex Luthor. That was weird but not awful. And I enjoyed his theme a lot. In fact, it's probably the only piece of score I enjoyed - the rest was kinda "meh". Hans did a better job in TDK trilogy

I think movie could've easily done without Wonder Woman
[close]

Terminator: Dark Fate


Can't say I've enjoyed it any more than first time. The main positive for me is that movie got tone/feel/atmosphere of Terminator movie right. Of all the sequels it came the closest to that feel of unstoppable force chasing you that first two had. Plot was mostly re-hash of T2 which is surprise to nobody at this point.

Spoiler
Ok, let's talk about some of controversial things in the movie. John Connor death haven't bothered me as much but it sure felt distasteful especially if you see the movie as direct sequel to Judgment Day. And more importantly, I struggle to see the point of it if we get John Connor stand-in anyway

The same goes for Legion. What's the point of it if it's basically Skynet ?

Carl on the other hand is among things I've liked. Logical problems aside, I find idea of Terminator turning good because of its necessity to have point for its existence pretty fascinating even though it was basically an excuse to have a good T-800 once again. I don't mind seeing Arnold in Terminator movie again though and think Dark Fate didn't try to force him upon me right from the start like Genysis did - "Oh look - It's Arnold from first Terminator ! Oh look - It's older Arnold! Oh look - it's even more older Arnold! ". He still had bits of Genysis sense of humour but I found it more appropriate here:

Spoiler
https://youtu.be/Muv57X05cdw (https://youtu.be/Muv57X05cdw)
[close]

I liked the tension between him and Sarah. The parts where she remembered that she actually lost her son were well done. But parts where she was just acting badass were not so much

Rev-9 even though was basically same idea as T-X from third one at least wasn't bad John Connor from Genysis that was screaming "Look at me and what a great CGI do I have! " whenever he was on screen. He wasn't over the top villain and reminded me much more of T-1000. He was very human like or very cold and calculated depending on situation which is appreciated. And, believe it or not, when Genysis was coming out and I was going through my Terminator obssesion phase, I've came up with the idea of Terminator being able to separate into solid one and fluid one. I was 14 back then

The other two characters were not as memorable. Especially John Connor stand-in. Especially in future scenes. I don't find her terribly convincing as savior of humanity. AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN but because you don't turn people on your side by saying "Machines want us fighting each other so we shouldn't"

Both the title of the film and a recurring thought while watching. The performances definitely drew me through the lengthier sections, but frustratingly, none of it amounts to anything. I understand the ending, I get the "point", but that doesn't make the point any less deeply unsatisfying in how it's executed.

Logan

I liked it but wasn't crazy about it. It had kinda western/Mad Max feel to it

Spoiler
Logan and Professor X were the most interesting and likable characters. I really dug old rusty cynical Wolverine and half-crazy Professor X

Tbh, I found girl pretty annoying but they nailed her animalistic, "Wolverine" nature, Boyd Holdbrook IMO was underutilised as a villain. He was just a guy with robotic hand and that's it

What's the deal with "bad Wolverine" ? Why he looked exactly like Hugh Jackman ? I thought they would utilise hum more too, maybe play with trust issues

What's the deal with X-Men comics ? Was it established in previous X-Men movies (haven't watched any) ?

Movie was gory. Very very very gory. People were stabbed left and right, Wolverine took A LOT of shooting. I certainly had several good laughs. Movie certainly enjoyed its R rating

Using cross as "X" on Logan's grave was very nice touch

Not what I was expecting going in, a fun ride that wasn't so predictable.  This film left much to chew on afterwards, might give it another watch to see if I can pick up subtle pieces missed the first time around.

Had a feeling Dr. Damon was an android or alien about 3/4 of the way in though.  Did not predict that they were on an alien ship the entire time, well done!

Not bad but not really good either. Liked some aspects, but I dunno, this feels like 40% Solaris, 20% Stalker mixed with some (partially quite effective) horror stuff.

This was playing at the local drive-in last night, and while the covid numbers in my state still have me incredibly reluctant to step foot in a movie theater, I figured seeing it from inside my car would be a better way to go. Gotta say, this one really didn't do much for me, unfortunately. I've never been one of those obsessive Nolan fans, but I do like most of his films. This one just didn't leave much of a lasting impression.

True, which makes it stranger I never considered the possibility I guess. I've watched American Gangster on HBO? maybe three times, but never sought it out on home video.

It's among my many Scott blindspots: The Duelists, Someone to Watch Over Me, Thelma & Louise, White Squall, most of GI Jane, A Good Year, American Gangster, Body of Lies, and All the Money in the World... I think that's it.

That's a God-damned insult to Wolfenstein. A Wolfenstein movie might actually be interesting.

Speaking of underwhelming video game adaptations:

Doom: Annihilation

They had two Imp suits and a factory in Ukraine. Their effort was admirable, but the result was less worhtwhile than the 2005 film.

I actually really liked Overlord, so I have no issue calling it Wolfenstein the movie.

I also didn't dislike Doom Annihilation. It's not a great film, but it does the best it can with a low budget, and I think it captures the spirit of the games better than the 2005 movie.

It's not as terrible as I anticipated, but I feel they didn't use what they had as well as they could. And the lack of creature diversity was really disappointing.

Still, the imps were done really well and the acting want half as bad as the trailers made out.

Just watched the Spanish blu-ray of True Lies. It's clearly an old master, and looks like a blu ray release from 2005-2008, but it's at least a release. It's also really entertaining. I forgot just how good it is.

In comparison to the Alien 40th Anniversary 4k UHD, though, it's fairly poor. I'm watching Alien now. Wow. Wow. Film looks amazing.

Blood of the Mummy

This was free on Prime. It has basically no budget or production value to speak of, with meh acting but decent enough gore effects. It tries to be a mix of serious drama and insane OTT gory silliness. There's a scene where a David Draiman lookalike gets his armed ripped off by the mummy, and then calls it a "Mumm-Ra motherf**ker", for example. And it went crazy with twists near the end. Oh, and they totally stole the names Kharis and Ananka from the old Universal movies.

The Wolfman (2010) - Unrated Cut

I liked this one more this time than I have previously. I just wish that Hopkins had been told to tone it the f**k down, it's like he was under the impression he was in a camp spoof. And Hugo Weaving has to be the world's worst detective here, no wonder he couldn't catch the Ripper.

Half of Blade Runner 2049.
Utterly majestic. Reminded me again why this was MY favourite film of the past decade. Yes it's very self indulgent at times and Denis does love to linger on those silent moments but oh man... this film for me personally is a worthy sequel to the original.

Had to take a break as at 1:30am I really needed to get to sleep. 2nd half tonight.

I hope Denis hits the same levels with Dune.

... and yes that is a Conestoga class ship in the clouds  ;D ;D ;D

DVD from poundland with an awesome lenticular 3D cover. Sadly that was the best bit.

Poundland? Sounds like a porno label  ;D
It refers to our currency, not our bedroom habits. If it was the latter I think there'd be a slight outcry!


The Thing (2011)

It's so disappointing knowing that there's a version of this film which has the practical effects and not the dodgy cgi. Better than I remembered, though.

I tend to agree SM. Big Hellboy reader myself and I actually enjoyed it for the most part.
Didn't mind Harbour ... thought he nailed Hellboy and was every bit as good as Perlman.

My biggest issue was the miscasting of McShane as he was nothing like Bruttenholm of the books. Too sweary... too young and too much of an arsehole actually. John Hurt's performance was far more accurate in my book.

I didn't mind Genesis or Salvation either but they just need to calm down and stick behind one of the movies they put out for once.

Shaolin Mantis - Below average.  The titular fighting style only shows up near the end, and then barely, and it gets a bit laughable when it almost looks like the main dude is being taught  by an actual praying mantis.  Then there's this bizarre turn in the last two minutes of the film.

Terminator : Dark Fate - It was alright.  Just like all the Terminator films after the second one are just alright.  Good having Linda and Arnie back though.

Bit gory and sweary for an animated comic book film, but pretty decent.  I do dig me some Constantine, but he's a bit too Dr Strange these days.  The OG Hellblazer stuff didn't really have him whipping out spells left, right and centre.

I always felt that film got a lot of unnecessary flack. Out of all the sequels in the series it's the only one that actually tries to tell a different story and not just reinvent the first 2. I didn't mind Bale as Connor - found him believable as he always brings that intensity in most of his performances. Worthington obviously doesn't have the same level as Bale but still believable. Yelchin (RIP) was always good value too.

And most of all we finally got a dedicated film set in the actual future.

I remember seeing ANH at the cinema (not the first time I'd seen that film mind) when I was quite young. But my fondest memory of the drive is my two friends hiding in the boot so they wouldn't have to pay. We got in ok then proceeded to drive them at the back of the lot ... let them out then drove away as quickly as possible and as far away as possible ... Hahahaha. They weren't too happy about that.

This reminds me of the first time I saw Back to the Future on DVD. They always cut the swearing from those on British TV because they show them in a children's prime time slot, so I nearly spat my juice out when I heard "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles an hour... you're gonna see some serious shit."

It was even more shocking because I was in my twenties at the time, it was a 25 year-old movie that I must've seen twenty times on TV and I never had any clue it'd been edited.

I really liked this one but hell ... as if I didn't have enough problems with Nolan's other films as far as keeping up with the plot and twists ... this one took the cake. I need to watch it again as I got lost by the second act. Visually once again Nolan knows how to push practical effects and set pieces to the limit.

I have a soft spot for this one. Arnold could be better but Jim Belushi is pretty darn great in it. First American movie to film in the Red Square! Action is good. The score is solid too. And man do I love Gyorgy Gati's song here. I try to imitate his voice and sing it all the time but I butcher it horribly. :D I think I like it because he sounds like Vladimir Vysotsky.

I mostly remember it for not even realising David Bowie was in it until after I'd finished watching it. He was so good as Tesla.

Been working my way through a DVD box set over the last week and a bit.

Dirty Harry

As much as I enjoy all five of these, there's no denying the original is comfortably the best of the series, thanks in no small measure to the villain Scorpio, who's played brilliantly by Andy Robinson. He's not just the best Dirty Harry baddie, he's one of the best movie psychos I've ever come across. I especially like how, whenever the chips are down, he instantly switches from cold-blooded killer to snivelling little bitch, and you totally buy it either way. Also, the scene where Harry genuinely tortures him for the location of the girl he's kidnapped is still pretty shocking.

Partner casualty count: One hospitalised, plus dialogue mentions one killed and another hospitalised before the events of the movie.

Magnum Force

Well, it didn't take long for this franchise to become completely self-aware. (Actually, you could argue it happened even before the end of the first film, when Scorpio's going down the freeway in the school bus he's just hijacked and he sees Harry standing on a bridge in the distance, waiting for him like some avenging angel.) Overall this one feels a bit too long, but it's still a solid entry. The bit at the end where Harry mows a motorcyclist down with his car is a highlight.

Partner casualty count: One dead - mailbomb to the face.

The Enforcer

Probably the funniest of the series, with Harry at his most devastatingly scathing. It certainly tries to up the ante from the previous two, with the bad guys now packing assault rifles and rocket launchers, but really the scenes with Harry and his new female sidekick are it's strongest asset.

Partner casualty count (in what is comfortably the bloodiest of the series in this regard): Two dead - one stabbed, one shot.

Sudden Impact

I always remembered not liking this one much, but seeing it again I think there's a case for it being the best of the sequels. It definitely has the most interesting plot, and Mitch is the most hateable unhinged villain the series has had since Scorpio. Add to which Harry actually lets the murderer go because he comes to understand their killing spree, which I'd totally forgotten about. Also, I especially like the bit where Harry walks into his hotel room to find his buddy has had his throat slit, but he doesn't get really angry until he sees the bad guys have superficially hurt his dog too. That's some John Wick-level shit.

Oh yeah, and it'd be remiss of me not to mention how Harry trades in his trusty .44 revolver for a f**king CHROME .44 SEMI-AUTO HAND CANNON.

Partner casualty count: Harry doesn't actually have one, so to make up for it his cop buddy gets tortured and killed.

The Dead Pool

I only just noticed how it took them four sequels to finally give one a title that bears some actual relevance to the plot :laugh: This one's frequently daft (that car chase lol) but it might actually be the sequel I enjoy the most. It's just so much fun. Jim Carry isn't in it for very long, but while he is he's a riot. Also contains probably the best one-liner of the whole series: "f**k with me, buddy, and I'll kick your ass so hard you'll have to unbutton your collar to shit."

Partner casualty count: One hospitalised.

Conclusion: Five entertaining films, and don't be Harry Callahan's partner.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Finally caught this (minus the first ten minutes or so) on TV. I never really rated the previous one, but that seems positively great compared to this. There were a few glimmers of decency in the finale in the house, but even those were undone by the recurring stupidity. Add to which I honestly didn't give a shit about anyone in it. Christ, even Jurassic Park III (which I hate) managed to have vaguely interesting characters.

Appointment with Death
I remember watching the Peter Ustinov Poirot films when i was younger, but totally didnt remember that they were made by
Cannon Films lol. It caused a brief discussion between my brother and I about how it should have been Chuck Norris as Poirot,
Roundhouse kicking suspects, until they confessed lmao

Die Hard 2. It has its moments but its a very dated 90s action when viewed today. Of course it isnt the first time Ive seen it, I won the whole series but I do rewatch the first 3 once in few years

I have a real soft spot for Die Hard 2.

Jaws 2's problem isn't that it's bad, it's that it's thoroughly ok. It's not great enough to love like the original or awful enough to hate like the latter sequels. It's the unseasoned white bread of the franchise.

But it does have one of the absolute coolest deaths in the series.

Murder She Said (1961)
The first of the four MGM Marple films. The humour isnt over the top here like in later ones and it works better

Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
Albert Finney's Poirot is too angry for my tastes. But what a cast

Ustinov's Poirot is great here and more human than his Cannon version

Pedro Pascal was the best part of the movie for me.

Kristen Wiig's character, on the other hand, felt underdeveloped and a bit cliched for me

Spoiler
Not sure how to feel about climax of the movie, While it was definetly heroic and heart-warming, it really took some suspension of disbelief. I mean, really ? Every single person on planet Earth gonna cancel their wish ? Every single one of them ? Are you sure about that ?

That once Maxwell Lord cancelled his wish of becoming the Stone, perhaps those who did not cancel their wishes had theirs taken back.

Also, a few or even a whole lot of people having their wishes granted might not cause such a big problem.

Really enjoyed that one. From the Tangerine Dream score to that very 80s vibe about it. Our Aliens' trio are all in full force in this one and probably make up for some of the more cheesier acting from the two main characters.

That bar scene. Woah.

Shame about how Black Dahlia turned out, and White Jazz not getting off the ground.

Watched it tonight with my missus.
She's seen it before. My first time. Loved it.
Great to see so many Aussies (even the ones we've adopted as our own) in this flick.

They either wanted them to move a certain way, or the makeup they had on set made them look like mimes, I've heard both.

I wish it was Godzilla vs Cranston! He died in the first act leaving us the incredibly unengaging Romanoff twins!

The first half of Kong: SI is great. The second half falls apart for me mostly. But still, Kong: SI > Godzilla 2014 all day long for me. I can't even sit through that Godzilla film anymore unfortunately, and I own it! :-\

And I just love this.... ;D

On a serious note, I've enjoyed it. Quite a bit actually. Nothing mind-blowing but enjoyable nonetheless. Unsurprisingly, Beetlejuice himself was the best part of the movie. Kinda wish he was more in it. Keaton gives great performance and seems to love playing the character

Very different kind of Burton movie, I might add. His trademarks are there but it's just ... different. Like he was having more fun making movies back then than he is now. Idk, really

My son is 6 so I showed him Aliens vs Predator since there's little to no blood. I'll forgive him but he really likes the Predator ha. Afterwards he said, " Dad, the aliens aren't super scary.." I can't wait until he gets a little older and show him the REAL Alien movies.

Also watched Men in Black with him, which he loved. Geez, I remember seeing that in theatre when I was a kid. The movie still holds up and it just goes to show that a movie doesn't need to rely heavily on CGI.

The Train

I mostly watched this because it was directed by John Frankenheimer, who also did Ronin, one of my favourite action movies ever.

I don't normally do old black and white films, and there was plenty of the corniness, crap acting and terrible dubbing that typically puts me off them, but holy crap, the "special effects" in this mostly consisted of actually crashing trains and blowing up an entire rail yard for real with a metric f**kton of dynamite. And you can't beat doing stuff for real like that.

If they had reduced the amount of romantic flashbacks, cut the shave scene, extended the bigfoot hunt, and made bigfoot larger and more threatening (plus more of a scary atmosphere), it would've been perfect as far as I'm concerned.

It's still a fun movie though. And yes, Sam Elliot was the perfect choice. He nailed it.

The Indoraptor design was pretty neat, and I did like the imagery of it creeping around a dark mansion complete with a Resident Evil underground lab.

Lost World will always be my favorite. Jurassic Park /// is underrated. Not a big fan of the Jurassic World films but they have their moments and I'm glad the franchise is back in the spotlight.

Yeah, that set piece had the potential to be really cool.

Sadly they then ruined it with shit like having the raptor being incapable of smelling the three of them when they were crouched literally under its nose, but then minutes later having it smell the kid in bed through the roof of the f**king house.

Summed up the whole film for me - potentially cool scenarios ruined by abject stupidity.

Chronicles Of Riddick - yeah, nah. I can see why it tanked. Karl Urban and Thandie Newton were alright doing their Macbeth/ Lady Macbeth thing, but I'm still not sure what a Necromonger is supposed to be. And seemed to be set in a completely different realty to Pitch Black.

Werk ohne Autor (2018)


Got high expectations, but turned out pretty meh actually.

Seems quite like a misrepresentation of Richter's life and art too, so yeah, can't really recommend. Although technically it was quite impressive sometimes. Schilling did an OK job.

Not sure the gas chamber scene was terribly necessary but as a parallel montage with the Dresden bombardment it gets a bit delicate...  to say the least.

I feel like the theatrical version was just kinda disjointed and didn't really work. It wasn't the historical epic it started out as, nor was it the action movie the studio tried to cut it into. It was stuck in this very obvious limbo, not particularly delivering in either regard.

The DC is every bit the historical epic.

Avengers - Endgame

I freaking love all these Marvel movies - however I have questions.

How did Cap return the stones to Morag, Asgard and Vormir?  Did the quantum time machine thingo have the right spatial co-ordinates?  I mean, War Machine didn't need a ship to get back with his stone, so that could work I guess.

How did Cap restore the stones to the tesseract and Loki-pokey stick?

Or are they making a TV show about how he did it?
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Local Trouble on Feb 19, 2021, 12:41:47 AM
Since she possesses knowledge of the future and he would have met her when returning the time stone, I imagine The Ancient One could open portals for him to travel to off-world locations and then bring him back.

I think the writers of Endgame said that the story could be a whole movie by itself, but I haven't heard of any plans to make one.

Man Of Steel

It's kinda amazing how much story you can squeeze in two thirds of your movie and then fill the final third with non-stop over-the-top action. And, yes, amount of shit destroyed in that movie was jarring. I mean, it was literally building after building after building being blown up and destroyed. It was too much

I've enjoyed the movie overall - it's no masterpiece but I've enjoyed it. Henry Cavill fits the role ... OK,  I guess ? He has the looks but I can't say there was anything about his performance that trully amazed me. And it's surprising that there was no Clark Kent in the movie. Not that it's a bad thing but rather weird

Michael Shannon as General Zod, on the other hand, was the real star of the movie for me. He stole every scene he was in. I don't think I've seen him in anything before but he has such an interesting appearance and voice and facial movements and he gives himself all to the role. He managed to be terrifying and tragic villain at the same time. He does horrible things but you understand why he does it and even sympathize with him, I absolutely loved him

I've quite enjoyed Kryptonian aesthetics of the movie. Especially ships' interiors which reminded me awfully a lot of Derelict and Juggernaut while suits Zod and his people were wearing reminded me awfully a lot of Space Jockey and Engineers. And the movie came out year after Prometheus. Coincidence ?

Few notes about Snyder's cinematography: it's interesting 'cause it constantly tries to balance between artistic and Bay-style. And these snap zooms - there was too much of them

Zimmer's score was fine, couple of catchy bits.

I'd argue it's even more rough. I always watch AC and caught TC once on TV and, God, all the cuts were so obvious. Especially in "big fire badaboom" sequence - when it litteraly goes from the shot of sprinklers turning on to Dillon looking at dead inmate who is supposed to be killed by Golic in AC.

Fair point too. I mean most of us on here probably own those films in some physical capacity (heck I own so many different reiterations of them it's not funny dating back to the old VHS versions).

Which makes me think why the heck I'm so excited about a streaming version when my hard media versions are superior in every way.

That's very true, on top of the fact that Hill had to cut 45 minutes out of the movie, including removing Andrew Robinson's character completely.

And I do think it's kind of funny how this massive shootout happens, and then Nolte and Boothe just go right back to what they were doing like nothing happened. :laugh:

I assume Verhoeven was deliberate in his cheesiness regarding the relationship between Rico and Ibanez. It's hilarious to watch at times.

One of my favourite scenes is during one of those Infomercial segments when the Troopers are showing some kids their guns and the kids are fighting over who gets to play with it. Also when the kids are stomping the bugs and the mum is squealing with delight.

The CGI in that film from Tippet's team on the bugs is still some of the best I've seen in any film. They absolutely nail it. It holds up still today. They are vicious and relentless.

Mimic - I've never seen this one before and knew very little of it to be honest. Guillermo's style is so easy to identify. Great film.

Mandy - Holy sh*t. Panos Cosmatos' really dug deep into his own personal grief and drug use on this one and Nic Cage ramped it up to 11.

Zack Snyder's Justice League

Okay, I liked this, much, much more than I thought I would. It's not perfect, mainly because it's very baggy and could be much tighter without losing much, but I did enjoy it a lot.

Justice League: Snyder Cut
Finally watched this baby properly last night (in one sitting) with my brother in law and his best man.

Wow. Day and night between Whedon's patch up job and Snyder's opus.

Truly epic. Look if you don't like Snyder's style you probably won't change your mind with this viewing. For this DC fan this original vision of the film hit everything out of the park. I'll be honest enough to admit that whilst I have enjoyed the MCU for the most part I have no vested interested in those characters - and even at it's peak the Avengers films always felt safe (even after the snap). I've always felt in Snyder's films no one character - no matter how big - is safe.

Long? Yes. Very long however the payoffs are worth it and some.
Every character and story arc is ramped up to something we'd expect of the Justice League.

Need to unpack it all (probably another re-watch soon) but I do know I want more of this universe.

Snowtown

A bloody hard watch. Even more so knowing these horrific murders took place a little north of where I live here in Adelaide.

Interesting to note that whilst watching the film I'm going this score sounds a lot like Jed Kurzel's `Medlab' piece from Covenant. I was totally clueless his brother directed the film and also that he was Australian as well!

Pesci in probably his best role aside from Goodfellas, the excellent chemistry between Gibson and Glover, the dog biscuits, the short black woman who's after Murtaugh, the bit with the dog, Rene Russo as convincible cool and badass woman,...

Not bad, kinda weird but intriguing enough to keep watching. Could've done with a slightly shorter running time.


Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
Probably my favorite after the original.
The opening scene, Murtaugh thinking Chris Rock is gay form him, the talk about cellphones between Chris Rock and Joe Pesci, the questioning of Uncle Benny at the dentist,...

They should bring the gang back together for a new but different movie, not another Lethal Weapon. Tt could be great.

Probably the weakest of the four, but still a far better action comedy than 90% of the others out there. The opening with the bomb in the building might be the funniest scene in the series. "Rog..." "Yeah?" "GRAB THE CAT!"

No matter how routine those movies got, Gibson and Glover's very obvious, very real chemistry always elevated them above their peers.

The original is definitely the "best", but like you 2 is my "favourite". My mates and I used to endlessly quote the Afrikaner baddies at sixth form. "Of caaws she deedn't die strait awaye... Took a beet of tiyme."

I might rate 4 above 3 though, just for Jet Li's amazing performance. "In Hong Kong... you would be dead." One of the better cases of an Asian martial artist being shoe-horned into an American movie imo. He does some mad shit in it.

I have, but not that episode. I've got a mate who's obsessed with that show and keeps trying to get me into it, but the few times I've tried it's not really grabbed me. It's not bad, I just don't feel compelled to watch more of it.

Supposedly they're genuinely working on a Lethal Weapon 5. I can't lie, I don't want it. They already dodged the franchise revival bullet once with 4, which was a lot better than I expected and had a really satisfying ending. Given the general track record of old series revivals these days, I'd rather they just leave it alone.

I've always thought of Lethal Weapon as the one classic action franchise they've never shat on with a crap entry, and I'd like to keep it that way.*

You don't have to have seen the previous episodes to follow. And it's done quite right because the actors seem like genuine fans.

Death Wish (2018)

Decent enough vigilante revenge movie, but overall not all that special. At least Willis seems to slightly give a shit here, that's a rare occurrence these days. And to be frank, it's not even the worst Death Wish movie. Joe Carnahan's original draft was much better, though.

Never saw this before. Wasn't bad and certainly better than I expected. Will have to watch the director's cut when I have the chance.

Godzilla v Kong

A lot of fun. Still has the annoying stupid humans in it (even more so - Millie Bobby Brown in particular whom I liked in KOTM was particularly annoying in this one).

But who gives a sh*t - the fights between Kong and Godzilla are brilliant. The speed, dynamics and visuals are polar opposites from the original Godzilla film and even a big step up from KOTM too.

Spoiler
Definitely Kong's film. Far more emotional focus on his story arc in this one. Godzilla is more in one dimensional than ever.

Enjoyed this more than part 2.

Who Is Cletis Tout? (2001)
Average. Tries to be to many genres and doesn't succeed at one.
Tim Allen surprised me though. Best performance of him I ever saw (or maybe he just got a good part).

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
I like the little mythology there is in this franchise, everything else gets boring quick. Probably not bad if you like movies like this but I'm bored of going through the familiar motions and usual tropes.
At this point I prefer the approach of Shin Godzilla. That was able to surprise me in a positive way.

Candyman (1992)
First time since I saw it back in the day. Then I didn't like it because I expected a standard slasher. Now I appreciated it more than the first time but I still don't think it's great or special, and there's something stupid about it.
A woman causes people to lose their belief in a supernatural killer. The belief is where he gets his power from. Because he's angry he shows a display of bigger power.
Their also something stupid about the background story of the Candyman. His hand got removed, yet the people who removed it took the time to replace it with a hook, before getting the guy killed.

I always thought of his backstory as merely being an urban legend, it was never really true. Regardless of what the sequels have to say.

Children Of The Corn (1984)
Love the location, scenerey, setting, and the atmosphere.
But it lacks a bit of depth and the special effects at the end are quite terrible.
It was nice to see Linda Hamilton again though. Forgot she was in this.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Been some time since I saw it. Made me appreciate it more.
Such a great movie with an amazing cast, including goddess Salma Hayek.

Adventureland (2009)
Not bad, not great either, but ok.

Today:
The Siege of Firebase Gloria (1989)
Vietnam movie starring R. Lee Ermey.
Never heard about this one before. Doesn't come close to the great ones but certainly not a bad movie.
Yeah, it's quite 'murica, has a decent amount of clichés and lots of typical 80's style explosions but also features some quality dialogue and strong acting.

Up next:
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
Will Ferrell directed by Adam McKay (Anchorman, Step Brothers and The Other Guys) = quality comedy.

I watched Dusk Til Dawn five or six times but I've never given those prequels a go. Nor the television series. Incorrectly or correctly, I always assumed they're of the Starship Troopers vein and won't measure up to the original.

Predators

Finally got to watch it with original audio (always watched in dub previously). To say the least, Brody's voice sounds ... interesting. There were times when I could close my eyes and imagine Batman fighting Predators. Thankfully, he didn't went into growling territory. I mean, I like the man in the role but he really tries to come off as "tough guy".

Nikolay's final line sounds so much better in dub though

Also, there are couple of things driving me nuts:

1. When they find that weird pointy structure how does Mombasa almost immediately recognises that whoever build it takes trophies ?

2. Not long after that scene, Royce claims that sun didn't move since they had got there. Does it imply that sun doesn't move at all ? Because if so how is it nighttime at the end of the movie ? Have our characters just on their feet walked to the darker side of the planet ?

That one's always bugged me too, but I guess it's possible the sun's just moving very slowly in the sky and the planet has a much longer day/night cycle than Earth.

Ever watched Full Moon High (1981)? It's similar and predates Teen Wolf by a couple of years.

So the "legend" is true?  :laugh:

It's been a while since I watched it, but are there not trophies attached to it?

Just checked and, yep, you're right - there's pile of skulls of bones at its base. Never noticed it before lol. I thought Mombasa was somehow able to "read" whatever was "written" on it

Quote from: Kradan on Apr 08, 2021, 07:13:28 PM2. Not long after that scene, Royce claims that sun didn't move since they had got there. Does it imply that sun doesn't move at all ? Because if so how is it nighttime at the end of the movie ? Have our characters just on their feet walked to the darker side of the planet ?

That one's always bugged me too, but I guess it's possible the sun's just moving very slowly in the sky and the planet has a much longer day/night cycle than Earth.

I guess

All of you who were pissed how autism was portrayed in The Predator should watch this:

Finally got to watch it with original audio (always watched in dub previously). To say the least, Brody's voice sounds ... interesting. There were times when I could close my eyes and imagine Batman fighting Predators. Thankfully, he didn't went into growling territory. I mean, I like the man in the role but he really tries to come off as "tough guy".

The Cut (2014)

Pretty unsparing Fatih Akin film about an Armenian father who in 1915 is "recruited" by Turkish soldiers and thereby separated from his family and caught up in the man-eating maelstrom formed by war and expulsion. Armenian-Turkish and other ethnic conflicts adding to the fun.

Certainly not part of Erdogans movie collection.

Yeah, I get that. Stephen Hopkins called Predator 2 part Western too. But I think neither are true Westerns that specifically fits in the genre category. I think it's fair to say Tombstone is the only Western out of the bunch. :)

Legend

This is the outrageous Alien: Covenant companion piece I never knew I needed.

I watched the Director's Cut, and at around the midpoint of the movie I honestly completely tapped out of the story and started honing in purely on the visuals and sound design. This thing is pure Ridley Scott insanity, with wondrous fairytale imagery that deteriorates into what I can only describe as a macabre, glittery predecessor to Covenant's "Dire Necropolis," and Tim Curry's Lord of Darkness monologues and carries himself in such a way that Michael Fassbender's poetry spewing David would later seek to replicate.

Ridley Scott, Tim Curry, composer Jerry Goldsmith, cinematographer Alex Thomson (who also recently wowed me with his work on Excalibur), and perhaps especially makeup artist Rob Bottin all deliver absolutely incredible work here. I might not be able to tell you what this movie is about by next week, but I will certainly be able to tell you what it looks and sounds like. In that regard, I would absolutely say that Legend makes a very good showcase of the fact that movies can serve as something other than just a vehicle through which to dispense plot to the audience.

I would very much like more movies with shots where the screen is completely filled with bubbles, please.

Le Mans '66

Really enjoyed it. Some unexpectedly good laughs throughout, and Damon and Bale were both excellent.

Two salient points: Oldschool Le Mans cars may have been the best-looking racers ever made, and it still makes me laugh that they called this Ford v Ferrari in the US because they didn't trust Americans to know what a Le Mans is.

I hate to sound pedantic, in fact I'm not that good when it comes to movies interpretations, but I saw this excited by people who claimed that "it was too cerebral and difficult to understand". However, the movie gives you plenty of clues so one can understand what are the allegories about.  :laugh:

Excellent film, which I thought was too religious the first time I saw it, and that made me not like it. Rewatching now, I would merely say the film has some spiritual themes. As well as lots of excellent car chase footage. Watch this if you like 'the good ol american car movies' and you havent seen it...

Quite average. Bad casting, weak action, lame story,... All things that easily could've been done better. And probably at the same cost.

Not bad, but not brilliant either. Still pales compared to the Harrison Ford Clancy adaptations, but if nothing else it's got me in the mood to track down some of the books.

Greenland

Dafuq? A Gerard Butler disaster movie that's actually really grounded and kinda decent?

It's no Deep Impact, but this was infinitely better than I expected it to be. I especially appreciated how it focused on the characters, with most of the actual disaster stuff happening off-screen.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the original)

I'd seen this before but didn't remember much about it beyond Noomi Rapace's c**t of a probation officer.

It was even better than I remembered, if a bit of a hard watch at times. Amazon Prime's got the full Swedish trilogy atm so I'll be checking out the sequels next.

Doom: Annihilation.  Eh...
Could've been ok if the demons didn't show up half way through the movie to do not much of anything and then the movie stopped.

Also a great example of how not to film man in a suit monsters. The imps would've been fine if they kept it mostly head and shoulders

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)
Ages since I saw this. Bit better than I remembered but still kinda average.

Fried Barry (2020)
Weird South African movie about aliens abduct a junkie, possess his body and take it for a spin in the human world.
Interesting concept, starts out well but the story and pacing ruined it for me.

The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

Excellent little medieval horror story. I could maybe do without the obligatory trippy dream sequence that all of these Corman Poe movies seem to have, but otherwise it's great stuff.

Quote from: Huggs on May 09, 2021, 09:16:42 PMIt was heavily influenced by HEAT. The opening scene was almost a carbon copy.

That was the most obvious homage, but the whole style and tone of the movie is basically just Heat but with bad cops shot with the modern look of The Town.

It was derivative as f**k, but still a lot of fun.

My Neighbour Totoro

I always watch Totoro a day or two after I've watched Grave of Fireflies.

Otherwise I probably wouldn't be here anymore.

Finally watched Judge Dredd again.

It's slightly better than I remember.  Still looks great.  Still have a problem with Stallone taking the helmet off, though he pretty much does a decent job of getting the character.  The "I knew you'd say that" running gag was dumb.  I've read a lot of Dredd comics and don't recall him ever saying that.

Fergie exists only for comic relief.  The comic relief isn't overly necessary, though having recently re-read a lot of old Dredd comics from the late 70s - early 80s there is a certain amount of camp, so the comedy isn't completely out of place either.  Lane is good as Hershey (the romantic angle was really out of place).  Von Sydow is just good in general.  The Angels are criminally underused to just be killed off.

I know it's heresy, but I still find that one a hell of a lot more fun than the Urban film. That's not to say it's in any way better, but it f**king entertains me.

Mile 22

I couldn't work out if this was supposed to be a black comedy or not - Mark Whalberg's character seemed to think it was, but everything else about the movie was serious drama. And I really wish Hollywood would stop hiring Asian martial arts superstars only to edit their fight scenes so incomprehensibly you can't see a damn thing they're doing. Still, credit where credit's due, you don't see many oorah American action flicks where

Yep. Armand Assante always seemed like a budget Al Pacino to me ... and I don't mean that in any disrespect to his acting chops but both actors have that same scary intensity about them but obviously Pacino is the heavyweight.

I actually far prefer that to the first one. A bit like the Dredd movies - it's probably not as good, but it's just so much fun. You can tell they were having an absolute blast making it.

Beast of a film. Could make out plot pieces, symbolic stuff here and there but yeah, I think it's almost impossible to adequately perceive this without having read the novel, which I plan to.

Going in fully unprepared made watching this a great trip though. Sort of a raw experience,  three hours of being bombarded with stuff that sometimes rejects any attempt of decryption. At least in a wider sense.

But yeah this fairly easily makes the Top 10 most hermetic stuff I ever watched. Atmosphere's great though. The cinematography's even better.

Much better than it's reputation led me to believe, with Steiger making for a compelling Napoleon and excellent recreation of the title battle. The British side of things is a bit weak, though, with that endless ballroom dance scene and the anemic, totally fictional romantic subplot that barely counts as a subplot. And I'm not sure why they decided to play and shoot Wellington so sinister. I swear there's an ominous fade out over his face that's identical to a shot from f**king Dracula. :laugh:

Well, I'm not 100% certain on all the added footage, but I am reasonably sure most of the added footage is in the intro, you see more of what polluted Earth looks like in the Avatar universe before Jake Sully heads to Pandora. But I could be wrong.

Wow, it's very cyberpunkish. I couldn't help googling  ;D

I like the extended cut, but it's not exactly gonna convince anyone who doesn't already enjoy the film and it makes what's already a long movie even longer.

Still, the Earth stuff is cool, and the added stuff about what happened to Grace's native school on Pandora adds a bit to her character.

There's actually two extended cuts of that, one with the added Earth opening, and one without.

The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)

Strong adaptation overall, marred slightly by the fact they ran out of money and had to resort to some low budget CG near the end.

Decent movie. Wish they adapted more of his stories like this.
I can deal with the low budget and cheap effects as long as they stick to the story.

Like this short movie that adapted The Statement of Randolph Carter. It's simple but well done and effective.

Weaver's character development? I think I would like to see that. Things on Earth make me wonder if Jim is a fan of Blade Runner 🤔 which wouldn't be entirely surprising anyway given his Easter egg in Aliens.  ;D

Not great but pretty, pretty good!
Statham was his usual self but on a new level. Like the same wine but improved with age.
Direction and action were all good.
Not sure how direct this remake is, but it makes a solid movie that doesn't bore.
Looking forward to Ritchie's next which is supposed to be something like Inglorious Bastards.

Watched it in 3D, and it looked pretty good. Started out decently, but then devolved into silliness. I still found it entertaining, but the moment she starts swinging her lasso from lightning bolts is when I realised it's just a live action cartoon.

This one has some decent ideas and some fine writing and action, but it's not an overly interesting spin on the Arthur legend, and Richard Gere is woefully miscast as Lancelot. It more or less comes down to Jerry Goldsmith carrying the movie all by himself for two hours.

Not bad, but not great either. The basic premise is sound, but there are several novels that did the "fact behind the legend" version of Arthur much better. This does end up as a weird precursor to Hannibal, though, with Dancy and Mikkelsen sharing multiple scenes. :laugh: Oh, and of course the Director's Cut with the extra gore is the way to go.

Been great revisiting all of these. I've seen TPM & Wrath of Khan to death but always come back to the original film. Haven't seen the others in years. Forgot how closely II, III & IV all follow on from each.

Got me thinking though how a fight between V'Ger and the Whale Probe would go. My money is on V'ger by the way.

The Voyage Home has some great moments of humour. Spock's attempt at cursing is hilarious.

Also hands down the refit Enterprise is the most beautiful starship ever designed. Beautiful lines. Every angle of her is a work of art.

Watched Eli Roth's The Green Inferno. His films typically dabble a bit too much in the torture porn for me but I really liked this one (along with his Cain Fever). There was one death in particular that was really brutal to watch which also made it the most memorable. Solid horror flick.

Also saw The Wrath of Man. I thought it was a decent action flick. Predictable of course but loved seeing some familiar faces, like Josh Hartnett, pop up throughout the movie.

Absolutely brilliant film. It forms part of Carpenter's holy trinity of classics with The Thing and Halloween for me.
"No horseshit!"

Dirt Music - wife is a big Winton reader so had to watch this one. Kelly Macdonald does a damn good Aussie accent.

The Woman in the Window - It plays on Hitchcock's classic but whilst nowhere hitting the heights of his classic it's still an interesting if somewhat cliched film (3rd act).

Weird  :) was just reading about this movie, when I was researching something about Natural Born Killers and how that one was part of the pre-True Romance script.
While I'm still really happy with both movies, the original vision for True Romance and Natural Born Killers certainly would've been something.

For a film set 500 years into the future not sure why 4WD pickups and cars would still be a thing on the road + projectile type weapons that look very 21st century. Just pulled me out of the film right away ... plus it seemed rather ho-hum despite Grillo and Willis' presence.

Top five movie for me, even if we count the first three Aliens as separate films. So good. A whole bunch of my favourite actors just absolutely knocking it out of the park no matter how trivial their role is.

The Sicilians scene genuinely might be my favourite in cinematic history. Brutal, hysterical, thrilling, moving, powerful. The whole sequence is incredible but I especially love the moment at the end where everyone's laughing and joking, Walken turns to his goon to surreptitiously get the gun and you get one final closeup on Hopper and you see in his eyes that he knows this is it, and he takes one last drag on his cigarette.

It's also got surely the best Mexican standoff/everyone shoots everyone else scene of any movie.

Predators
I enjoy this film and appreciate it more and more every time I see it. Yes it retreads a lot of the original film but the new lore it adds is actually quite cool. The ensemble of characters are great and I like the fact Royce isn't Dutch Mk II. I like that he is actually a mercenary who has questionable morals.

The Predators themselves are great too.

Oh it's very blatant. A hot young FBI agent/cop infiltrates a subculture of surfers/street racers, looking for a gang of bank/highway robbers, who are using the proceeds to fund their lazy surfer bro lifestyle/expensive car modifications. He's in danger of getting in too deep, becoming personally attached to the charismatic leader of the surfer/racer gang, as well as forming a romance with a female hanger on/the leader's young sister. Our agent/cop initially fingers a different gang, but it turns out to be a false lead, and the real bank/highway robbers are the very same gang he's gotten close to, and after a bank/highway robbery goes wrong and one gang member dies, things go to shit. He eventually lets his new friend go at the end, because he loves him too damn much/owes him a ten second car.

A Quiet Place Part II - Much better than I expected actually. Just as tense as the first one. It added some more lore to the Death Angels without revealing too much.

Let Him Go - Diane Lane and Kevin Costner.
Tense at times. At one moment I got original Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes in regards to a certain family dynamic. 7.5-8/10

Word.

For all the bullshit in that film series - and there's a lot of it - I genuinely think that movie is one of the best action flicks of the last two decades. It's an absolute blast from start to finish, and that safe chase is just the right side of too silly, which is a line they seem to have crossed in every entry since.

Is it bad that I'm disappointed that it wasn't as unusual as I was hoping for?

Gamera 2: Attack Of Legion
This was weird. I played the 'comedy' dubbing version, and it meant all the Japanese military were voiced as though they're from Alabama. One of them I think was the same voice actor as did Bill Clinton on Family Guy. It was... Odd.

Star Wars kids are on school holidays so we've been watching the saga together as a family.

Episode 1 - Still has some fantastic moments. The Pod Race and Duel of Fates is superb.
Episode 2 - Cringe love scenes but the set pieces are still again brilliant.
Episode 7 - Still enjoyable but on repeated viewing the retread of ANH are super obvious and very distracting. Rey and Finn's chemistry is brilliant though.
Episode 8 - Some great moments but also some bits are a too on the nose ... Rey & Finn's characters really regressed in this one.
Episode 9 - Fun but felt so rushed and about `fixing' a lot of what TLJ put forward. So many questions left with so little answers or resolution too.

Sith I think is a very good movie aside from one or two awkward scenes, Menace is mainly forgettable to me apart from the standout moments everyone mentions, and roughly half of Clones is just unwatchable.
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Kradan on Jul 14, 2021, 07:36:51 PM
Such contrast of opinions !  :D

AOTC is still the weakest one even if its  grown somewhat on me. I can even get a kick out of love angle as long as I choose to judge it by simple fairy tale's rules. My biggest problem with it is that the movie feels too much like a filler episode rather than a story on its own. There's no really memorable scenes or set pieces for me here, whole clones' subplot is confusing, Dooku's character grossly underdeveloped. AOTC is pretty much there only to fill the gap between Episodes 1 & 3 and mostly forgettable. I can still watch just as 90s sci-fi movie, nothing more

I can dig ROTS dark, depressing tone, opening space battle sequence, Anakin's rapid fall to the dark side and emotional final duel between him and Obi-Wan. Plus, it has lots of Palpatine in it. For awhile it was my favourite of the prequeks

But the more I think about it the more I lean towards TPM. As I've said it feels the most like stand-alone story with beginning, middle and ending. I enjoy it's slower almost laid-back pace, , generally calm tone, nothing seems rushed to me. I really like Qui-Gon, Idk, he's just a good noble Jedi I can root for. I guess Neeson's performance elevates Lucas' writing quite a bit. It's just a space fairy tale with sci-fi flavour tp it I can go back to occasionally without watching other two

I think CdL said it best when comparing  TPM/AOTC to Prometheus/Covenant: with all its problems The Phantom Menace is pure George Lucas with all of his weird ideas and questionable lore changes. I can certainly appreciate that

AOTC gave us so much, many Jesi fighting at once, Jango Fett, Clones, Coruscant upper levels to City Streets, Jar-Kai (duo-wielding lightsabers), and more.

The Romance actually is eye opening. Its Vader courting Padme not Anakin, you can see the possessive Sith nature in his eyes. Padme says in ROTS, "you've change!" No sweetie, you fell in love with Vader as much as Anakin, its just now Anakin is more dorment.

But they're not running on all fours - they climb and jump from wall to wall and you can see almost none of them clearly. And they screech when they get shot - Big Chap did the same when Ripley impaled him with harpoon gun.

Furious 7

So I hadn't seen this one before just now, and I'll say that for the most part, it's really damn good. I'm all about the action getting as big and crazy as it possibly can, even if I did call bullshit on Paul Walker putting up any kind of fight against Tony Jaa. :laugh: And storywise, this and the last movie both took what could have been a corny as hell soap opera with Letty's amnesia, but did a really damn good job with it. And they took what could have been a huge problem with Walker's death and really made it one of the best parts of the movie.

I will say though that they didn't make very good use of Jason Statham. It feels like they wrote thirty pages of a straightforward Vin vs Statham movie, ran out of ideas, and then threw in the whole Kurt Russell/satellite plot to pad the movie out to two hours. And yes, Statham should have just been The Transporter, would have made his subsequent face turn easier to swallow, at any rate.

Star Wars - A New Hope - finally getting the family started on the OT. It kills me a little bit how much ol George (who I love) messed around with `upgrades' in this film. So much unnecessary fluff. Also it's a bit comical watching the lightsabre duel between two old men after being spoilt by the swordmanship displayed in the PT films. That said I still adore this film even after 44 years.

Star Trek Nemesis about a third of the way through. Haven't seen this film since it was released back in 2002 (?).

The Living Daylights about half way through as well. Was cool to hear the a-ha title song (a personal fav of my wife and me). The production values once again seem rather dated even for a film made in 1987. I don't mind Dalton as Bond to be fair.

Totally agree, they were comedy legends.
The chemistry between Lemmon and Matthau was magical in anything they were in. Greatly missed.

Pig (2021)
Nic Cage plays a guy living in the woods with his trusty truffle hunting pig. Then his pig gets stolen.
Started out alright but went downhill halfway through. Too bad, could've been a solid Cage revenge flick.
Cage's performance was solid btw.

I agree, I wish they made more movies like Grumpy and Grumpier Old Men.

I watched "Up from The Depths (1979) thanks to a member sharing a poster of it. It is hilarious! Think of it as a spoof of Jaws in Hawaii. The funny part is the creators were divided on weither to make it serious or a total silly spoof, that makes it all the more funny. One of most comical scenes is people running from the beach into mainland, "Fish can't walk, they can't run either." XD

WARNING! There is some nudity, a Play Boy star takes her top off for for some shots.

Interestingly there is a Shark god in Hawaii called Kāmohoaliʻi.

Nemesis has a strong core idea that they didn't make the best of, IMO. It ends up feeling more like an excuse for Spiner to get a dramatic exit and Stewart to drive a dune buggy.

That is my recollection to actually. It didn't feel as grand as it should've been.

It was better than Insurrection.

Finished Nemesis last night and yes, it was better than Insurrection for sure. Actually I must admit I enjoyed it a lot more this time round. I think the thing is that despite Hardy's great performance I just couldn't correlate that he was a younger Picard. The battle scenes were quite good too but that said nothing comes close to Wrath of Kahn's epic old navy style battle scenes (actually that goes for most other films not just Trek).

Dr Terror's House of Horrors (1965)

My first ever Amicus horror. It's an anthology of 5 stories with differing sub genres squished into a 90 minute runtime, they're all fun but if feels like an appetiser for their feature length films. Great cast too, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Donald Sutherland, Michael Gough and Bernard Lee. It's a rarity in that Chris Lee gets to be the straight man and Cushing the weird one here too.

A different film for Carpenter, but still pretty good.

The love story is a bit shit, but otherwise this a very solid, enjoyable effort from Carpenter, and his last truly good film. Also, f**king El Scorpio from Predator 2 was in it for a bit. And Shang Tsung. And the headphones guy from Jurassic Park 2. :laugh:

Solo - A Star Wars story
Never understood the hate on this one. It's a fun film. It also isn't weighed down by the rest of the Skywalker saga. And I thought despite the vocal difference, Alden Ehrenreich actually pulled off a young Solo (note I said Solo ... not Harrison Ford). The rest of the cast are great too.

Suicide Squad (2021)
Awesome. Hilarious. Violent. Action packed. Gunn basically took GOTG and gave it a hard R rating. Loved it.

I had zero interest when this was released and since too. Seeing the second movie trailer yesterday kinda changed my mind. Watched it last night. Not half as bad as I imagined and actually enjoyable.

I actually didn't have a problem with The Suicide Squad's running time – in fact, I couldn't even tell you how long it was. I was just all in on it from opening scene and it never really let up.

Also, in quite a few ways it is structurally pretty much the best Predator movie since Predator 2. :D That scene with Peacemaker and Bloodsport, you know the one, has to be a riff on Dutch and company's attack on the camp in Predator, and like in Predator, this movie too soon after twists into a sci-fi horror outing in tandem with the core over-the-top action.

Spoiler
Also, the grisly Starro experiments in the lab were so gruesome (hell, the whole movie was) and rivaled some gory 70s/80s horror in the best possible ways before mutating into a kaiju-type showdown for the final stretch of the film. Starro is one of my favorite wacky comic inventions and I was overjoyed with how he was adapted to screen here (though I do wish that at least one main character had gotten Starro mind controlled, but ah well).

Cool too is the film's commentary in the way that it contorts the whole American system responsible for generating a "team" like the Suicide Squad in the first place into the true bad guys of the film (which Peacemaker, in his crass and disturbed quest for "Peace," is loyal to to the very end – it is going to be very interesting to see where his show goes) what with the control of media and attempt to scrub a squeaky clean image in the public eye with zero accountability for the horrors and devastation that they are actively causing overseas. Corto Maltese has control of Starro specifically because of American imperialism, and America - embodied here by Amanda Waller and her goons running Task Force X - could care less about that sentient weapon of mass destruction itself, just their own involvement in its "creation." The Suicide Squad aren't sent to destroy Starro specifically (and like Waller said, she saw Starro running rampant in Corto Maltese as potentially a good thing for America's own interests which is... repulsive, to say the least) and Peacemaker was there following those orders to destroy any and all information about America's involvement in Project Starfish a T in the name of his warped definition of "Peace."

It's actually like Starship Troopers, in that sense, though in Starship Troopers basically every single character is Peacemaker. The rest of the Suicide Squad, outside of Peacemaker, have enough of a sense of awareness to recognize that they are actually fighting for the wrong side on this one and end up disobeying their orders and actually do take on Starro to protect the citizens of Corto Maltese. It is no shock to me at all that the Comedian is what Alan Moore came up with for Watchmen after realizing he couldn't use Peacemaker in that slot. I really hope the HBO Max Peacemaker goes full Verhoeven with the character.
[close]

This is honestly my favorite comic book movie in years, since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in 2017 and Aquaman in 2018, and probably the bloodiest and most overtly violent mainstream blockbuster in a lonnngggg time.

It is. But I always felt it missed something. As there's something off about it. Can't put my finger on it.
Maybe it's because it's sorta an 80's movie that looks modern. Don't know.

Directed by John Landis (An American Werewolf In London), starring Robert Loggia, Don Rickles, Paulie and Richie from The Sopranos, main mob guy from A Bronx Tale,...

This was my first full viewing ever. Only saw parts of it when I was young.
What I remembered the most is still the best of the entire movie, and that's Robert Loggia. He totally owns his part.
The movie itself, there's greatness to it. Main problem is the lead actor is kinda weak and his romance with the lady vampire ruins a lot.

Even though I enjoy the boat race intro of the directors cut, I prefer the theatrical cut intro. Just cutting from black to the club with the music playing and no credits really felt like (to me) that I was watching just another episode beginning in the series.

I've seen this film countless times ever since it premiered in the cinema back in the 80s.

It still is quite possibly the most perfect film I've ever seen.
Love it.
It nails everything and just gets better and better with age. Everyone is on point with their performances. The script is brilliant and the whole pacing and storyline wonderful.

It's a shame that disease would rob MJ Fox of doing more (that said I loved him in the Good Wife). His on screen chemistry with Christopher Lloyd is absolutely perfect.

Better than I expected. Loved how they totally quit caring and went over the top without giving a f.
Gonna be hard to top the next one. Maybe it's time to change into the M.A.S.K. franchise, or merge with Transformers.

Saint Ange/House of Voices
Interesting horrir/thriller which is more arthouse than your expect from the poster. Titled House of Voices, it has a poster streaked in blood and with all the stereotypical tropes of the haunted house genre. It's way more subtle than that.

I don't know whether this is supposed to be leaning into the stereotypes and be super stylised, or not. Considering it's a Dario Argento film, and the title itself, I'm guessing maybe it is.

It almost feels like a comedy skit send up of serial killer movies, but then it goes dark and grim.

I'm not sure whether if recommend it or not.

Conan the Barbarian was one of the last great epics, the days of constructing huge magnificent sets and the hiring of hundreds of extras. I love the design Ron Cobb implemented in that world, and the score of Basil Poledouris is magnificent. And James Earl Jones especially is so fun to watch.

Yeah, Frank Frazetta was quite a brilliant artist. The man just understood human anatomy. I'm not sure if you know this but Frazetta did his own Conan-esque animated feature himself (with Ralph Bakshi) called "Fire and Ice":

M. Night Shyamalan's latest, based on a book though.
This was good. Well written story with some cool ideas and nice details. Cast was mostly unknown to me but the acting was all good.
Maybe M. Night Shyamalan should do more adaptations and less of his own ideas?

It was ok. Not bad, not good, but ok.
There certainly was something to the concept but it just wasn't good enough.
An R-Rating might have made this a little more fun but it wouldn't fix the story which was kinda similar to The Truman Show.

Batman Returns

Caught it on TV. I think I enjoyed it this time much more than on any of my previous watchings. It's a beatiful movie to watch, it's so dense, every frame has so many things going on

Everybody keeps praising Ledger's Joker, how he transformed himself for the role, how he dissolved in it. But I gotta say that - I freaking love Danny DeVito as Penguin because at no point I feel like i'm watching Danny DeVito playing the role. Also, he's a proper nightmare fuel. So great.

Still no love for Catwoman though

After the intensity and excitement of the rest of the film, it's nice to just let it breathe and sit there for a moment to reflect on what's happened and let the journey come to a close.

It also shows him completing his McGuffin rather than entirely abandoning the plot :laugh:

Well, you still learn that Conan returned the Princess in the postscript  :), but to me that's inconsequential to the story.

(https://i.ibb.co/cCnYCNz/Screenshot-20211001-085036-You-Tube.jpg)

But I never viewed the princess as a MacGuffin per say, more of a subplot. King Osric only offered that quest to save her roughly midway through the movie and Conan abandoned the King's offer after that (and his love Valeria) to seek out Doom's mountain alone, infiltrate his ranks, and kill the villain.

Of course, this got him crucified and gnawing on vultures (great scene) which reunited him with his friends and that quest. Even then, when Subotai insisted to Conan "Only the girl, we kill Thulsa Doom another day", Conan would not answer, and only sharpen his sword. And once the Princess was saved the movie didn't stop. In the extended cut Conan brings her back in harm's way to distract the guards. (In my preferred cut, Conan goes alone.) So Conan the Barbarian was a revenge movie through and through (and a path to learn the riddle of steel) starting from the opening of the movie when Thulsa Doom slayed his parents.

This is another reason (for me) to prefer the Princess not in the ending, because the movie was never about her. It was about Conan's sole unrelenting unstoppable drive to achieve vengeance, not both of them seeking revenge. It's better to me with just Conan, now that his entire purpose for living since he was enslaved on the Wheel of Pain as a child is over, sitting on those stairs, with his thoughts, dwelling on the words that Thulsa Doom said right before his death... : 

"I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me? My son.".

Sure; like I said, she's a MacGuffin. The rescue mission is a pretense to connect Conan with Thulsa Doom, but it's otherwise meaningless.

But I personally enjoy the atmosphere and the mood and the pace of the princess ending over the perfunctory feel of the theatrical. And I like seeing the little extra touches of humanity and compassion at the heart of the barbarian in those final moments.

And I get more time with the score, which is the single best thing about the movie. Not that the rest of the movie is bad. I just really f**king love that soundtrack.

The princess never directly connects Conan to Thulsa Doom... when he rescues her, nor when
Doom comes looking for her. Doom's minions, yes, but Conan never comes into actual contact with Doom as a result.

Most of creator Robert E. Howard's Conan stories were short stories. Some weren't even written by Howard but fleshed from his notes. Screenwriter John Milius loosely adapted these short stories in his script, basically assembling an anthology into a single narrative where fans would recognize oh, we're in "The Thing in the Crypt." Oh now we're in "The Tower of the Elephant" Etc. The script is basically a series of small adventures sewn together.

Getting her is why he goes out to where Doom and his cultists are. Without that mission he'd be wallowing in his hedonism. Rescuing her is the pretext to get Conan back on his mission of personal revenge.

Nope. Conan never left his thirst for revenge. When he steals the Eye of the Serpent before the Princess quest is offered, he sees Doom's jade standard of the two snakes coming together which motivates his need for revenge even further and finally gives him the clue he needs, long before King Osric quest is offered.

https://youtu.be/TsQB90ScNHY?t=220

And it's that snake standard that he stares at, and is obsessed with, when Valeria is pleading with Conan to focus on their relationship.

https://youtu.be/l7xguoeAnC8?t=109

But Conan's desire for revenge is too great, so he leaves it all behind including the Princess quest, to infiltrate the Children of Doom and tries to get close enough to kill Thulsa Doom. (I have a long history with this film, including an interview with Jody Samson and a nice chat with John Milius!)  :)

QuoteNot that it really matters? Like, I get you don't like the princess ending, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise? I just personality like it and I said why, why are you arguing it?

And then he focuses on the relationship and indulging in "all manner of pleasures and diversions". He loses his drive to continue seeking revenge and revels in the spoils of his victory. The call to retrieve the princess is what snaps him back to reality and gets the plot moving back towards its ultimate goal of vengeance.

While Conan got a clue from the standard, he got a location from the princess subplot. The mission was a device used simply to get him where he needed to be, that ultimately bares little relevance on the overall story - that's the definition of a MacGuffin.

Without the mission he has a clue but no direction. It's not like he was already heading out to the mountain and just picked up a job on the way there.

That's all I've been saying. That mission got him where he needed to be so other, more important stuff could happen. The princess is a MacGuffin in that regard.

The call to retrieve the princess is what snaps him back to reality and gets the plot moving back towards its ultimate goal of vengeance.

I never got a sense he lost his drive. Conan was partying with Subotai too on the very same path of revenge. The dude can take breaks. :)

But when Conan left Valeria and Subotai, he wasn't on the mission to save a Princess. Oscric's offer to their group simply gave Conan the final piece of the puzzle: Doom's location. He's back on the same path.

From the beginning Conan asked the Wolf Witch about the snake standard, slept with her, then threw her in the fireplace.  :laugh: Conan meets Subotai, hangs, gets drunk & high in towns, ate lots of fast food, and asked people about the snake standard. Conan even asked Ron Cobb, who directed him to the tower that had snakes about the standard, which is where he eventually finds the standard and meets Valeria.

The dude has been on a mission since released from bondage. All through the movie so far he's been looking for Thulsa Doom. He's been on this one quest of revenge. And the dude has been picking up clues regarding to his location.

Yes he & Valeria bang and get drunk to celebrate in rich debauchery. Osric reveals Thulsa's location - in the mountain of power (the final clue!), Valeria loves him, but Conan must drive forward alone, not to fetch the princess, but kill Thulsa. He's still not on Osric's quest. He's on the very same path he's been on in the beginning. The same path of revenge, which would have continued with or without King Osric and the Princess. (He wouldn't have stayed with Valeria and raised a family)

Only after Conan's crucifixion is where his friends coral him into the quest for saving the Princess, but they can see Conan's path, so much though Subotai must say "Only the girl, we kill Thulsa Doom another day". Conan doesn't respond. Will he even listen?

We'll never know, because the quest is completed and Thulsa and Conan never come face to face. So what does Conan do at that point? He continues on the very same path of revenge.

Now the MacGuffin / Subplot debate, their definitions can cross, so to spare everyone else (and myself) from pages and pages with no conclusion, I'll call a truce. :laugh:

Her existence is a pretense for the plot to get him to Doom. The mission is a subplot, sure, but the character functions as a MacGuffin - something the characters seek that is ultimately meaningless to the plot but nudges it in the right direction.

Why call a truce when we can just acknowledge we actually just agree on something for once?  :laugh:

Quantum might've been an OK film if it paused for breath once in a while. The rare occasions it actually slows down for a moment are easily the best bits in the movie, but they're few and far between and thirty seconds later you're thrown back into another generic, incomprehensibly-edited action scene.

It's not awful, but it annoys me because it feels like it could've been so much better with not much effort.

I'd agree if not for Bautista. He was great in SPECTRE and the fight with him on the train was the one time the film got really exciting.

As it is I find both films decidedly disappointing.

Hopefully Craig's sticking to the pattern of good-bad-good-bad and No Time to Die will be a good'un.

I absolutely love Casino Royale to pieces as much as I like some of the Alien films I'd say honestly, and I have always had a soft spot for Quantum Of Solace if only for my teenage crush Olga Kurylenko, and Skyfall's reputation speaks for itself.

Seeing the new one tomorrow actually, and this was my first time watching Spectre tonight also, pretty naff but enjoyable not unbearably awful but it weirdly feels like it's setting up something, it wants to be an unearned culmination but also somehow feels directionless so I'm glad I'm seeing No Time To Die nearly immediately afterwards.

Skyfall ★★★★
Spectre ★★

Family and I finally finished watching the Back to the Future trilogy. Whilst the second isn't of the same quality as the 1st and 3rd film it's still a great series. The cast is stellar throughout.

I noticed probably for the first time (haven't seen them properly in ages) just how much of Silvestri's score is so similar to his Predator work.

2nd is definitely my least favourite of the trilogy and the one I've watched the least. Dark future twist is cool and all but it's a bit convuluted and too much of a rehash of the first movie for my liking

I would pick 3rd as my favourite. Wild West setting and everything that comes with it just does it for me

It might sound weird, but Quantum legitimately works best if you watch it immediately after Casino and see it as a really, really extended fourth act. Still flawed, but the breathless pace actually works in its favour.

It's the only way I watch it now. Casino Royale ends, immediately chuck in Quantum.

And having just seen it tonight, Spectre's the extended mixed prologue to No Time To Die, just like Quantum Of Solace's the extended mixed epilogue to Casino Royale.

Skyfall being that bridge between the start of James Bond and veteran James Bond.

No Time to Die

For once a Bond gets to end his run on a really, really good movie (and not get cut short like poor Timothy Dalton). Just about everything worked perfectly here, minus some uncertainty over what exactly Safin's plan was (maybe dialogue was cut because of COVID?). And it did a good job of expanding on what Spectre did and fixing or downplaying the parts that really didn't work.

Personal Craig Ranking:

Casino Royale
Skyfall
No Time to Die
Quantum of Solace
Spectre

The Many Saints of Newark (3.5/5)

I might be a little bias on this one as I hold The Sopranos as my favorite show of all time. With that being said, this was definitely a fun stroll down memory lane.

The actors portraying characters from the show, in their earlier years, nailed the characters down. Pretty impressive.

However, the first 30-45min struggles to find its footing with randomly edited scenes thrown together. But once it found its pace, it was great.

I think they should've gone the route of a miniseries and expanded it into a few episodes as there was a lot of meterial that was ultimately left out or glossed over.

Legit my favourite Bond movie (although I'm probably coloured by the fact it's the first one I ever remember seeing). After years of over-the-top Moore plots, it's so refreshing to see a Bond film that was actually a spy story. Dalton really went for the character as Fleming wrote him, too. Such a shame he never got to do any more.

Also the scene where Bond confronts Pushkin is his hotel might be the best from literally any Bond movie. "If I trusted Koskov you wouldn't be talking!"

WW84
Not sure why so many panned it - it was a lot of nonsensical fun - it actually in parts had a tone reminiscent of Donner's Superman (not saying it's anywhere near as good as that classic either). It definitely took the more popcorn vibe of the WW I grew up with too (loved that cameo at the end too).

Flawed - absolutely but I think I didn't feel as disappointed in that final act as I did with the first film.

Hm, got some mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, a lot of stuff (and killing) happened. At the same time, it feels like not much at all happened. It was interesting catching up with some of the survivors from the original and seeing some flashbacks to '78. A fair deal of the dialogue, especially Laurie's, felt a bit melodramatic. Kills ranged from genuinely unsettling (Michael turning someone into a human pincushion) to almost comedic (making someone shoot themself in the face). Ending certainly sets up things to come, but also has a major drawback as far as I am concerned. But also leaves it in a somewhat interesting position for what is to come next year with Halloween Ends.

Halloween III Season of the witch]

Well, got around to watching this and It wasn't as bad as I remember it to be.  I enjoyed this time.  However, that blasted Silver Shamrock Jingle does get annoying  :D

Glad you enjoyed it this time. It's such an 80s Horror film (in a good way to me). And be careful, that Silver Shamrock song can get stuck in your head!  :laugh:

You can't beat a good 80s horror film especially with Tom Atkins in it :) I think the main reason for avoiding watching the film was due to the fact it's called 'Halloween III' and not part of the Michael Myers sequels.  With that, I couldn't enjoy the film back in the day.  I know I'm weird.  However, looking past that it's actually a good film.

Yes, that blasted jingle!

Halloween 6 - The curse of Micheal Myers [The Producers Cut]

I had to watch my original bootleg copy of this version even though there has been an official release on blu-ray.  Sadly, Scream Factory don't release titles in the UK.  This is a far superior version than the butchered theatrical release.

Other than the origianl Carpenter classic, of course, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is the best of the franchise.

I really wish it was just a full blown anthology post-III, as originally intended.

I'm actually an unabashed big fan of "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" and in some ways wish they fully transformed into an anthology film series.
Halloween III is really good. One of this things I enjoyed about HK is it's reference to SotW.

Shout Factory filmed a great documentary for SotW. I highly recommend seeking out their Blu if you haven't already!  :)
I have it, and the H2 SE as well. Had to get them imported, and get a multi region blu ray player, but I got em!

Have you never seen the Producers Cut of Halloween 6? It was only available on bootleg for years.  They did a lot of reshoots, etc for the theatrical version which is very poor indeed.  The Producers Cut has a better ending than the Theatrical as well.

I didn't know you could mod a PS3 to play imported blu rays.  I knew you could mod them to play import games but blu rays.  That would deffinetly be a cheapr option as multi region blu ray players aren't cheap.  Thanks.

The trailer for that has given me precisely zero interest in it. I'd expect them to at least try and hide what a total retread of the first film it is, but no, just about every scene looks to be a remake of one we've already seen.

No Time to Die

Finally got to see this. I enjoyed it. Nothing like as good as Casino or Skyfall but comfortably Craig's third best outing. The action was a big step up from SPECTRE (in that it was actually exciting) with the caveat that some of the fight scenes were a little confusingly edited. I enjoyed the slightly darker portrayal of M in this one. Still didn't like Waltz as Blofeld.

Spoiler
As for the two major character deaths, I called both ahead of time, but to be fair I think they both worked.
[close]

My biggest gripe was that the villain was so underwhelming; Malek is a fantastic actor but he really wasn't given much to work with in the part and felt wasted. Also his leap from "revenge against those who wronged me" to "murder everyone" kinda came out of nowhere and wasn't explained or justified at all. And given the fuss that was made over them hiring people like Phoebe Waller-Bridge to rewrite the female characters, I thought the female characters were almost uniformly undercooked. Lashana Lynch as the new 007 was the worst offender - her character was entirely cardboard and forgettable. To make matters worse, Ana de Armas, far and away the most memorable of the three leading ladies, was only in the film for like 10 minutes.

Still, overall I thought it was a solid if middling Bond entry. It was undeniably very "Craig" in style and tone.

Oh yeah, and Billie Eilish's theme song sucked.

Just got back from the cinema with my brother and we both enjoyed it.  I know this might sound stupid but how they pronounce Harkonnen in this movie, and the sci-fi channel mini-series annoys me for some reason  :D  I prefer how they pronounce it in the David Lynch movie.  Sad I know.

Yes, even I was surprised.  On the two trips, I did to watch both Dune & No time to die the place was packed.  I was especially shocked when I was told NTTD was fully booked for the week.  I had to watch people be told there were no more tickets after I got the last one.  Some unhappy faces I tell you.

Halloween (1978). I have seen this film countless times growing up in the early 80s and 90s too.
First time I've seen it in a long time mind but still enjoyable - a classic - even more enjoyable after watching the Netflix special (the Movies that made us).
Michael Myers still creeps the hell outta me.

This was on TV last night. I knew the basic plot from seeing the original British TV series a long, long time ago, so the big twist was already spoiled, but it was a great movie. Elizabeth Debicki in particular was fantastic, it says quite a bit that she still managed to stand out in such a powerhouse cast.

Batman v Superman Extended Cut

Ok, so the whole point of "Martha" moment  is that Batman realises that Superman is as much of a  human as he is 'cause Superman has a mother too, right ? So the fact that Superman has a mother is supposed to be a revelation to Batman, right ? Like, the thought of that hasn't even crossed his mind ? But couple of minutes ago, while he was dragging Supes' body across the floor, he said: "I bet your parents taught you were sent here for a reason". Parents ?  What ? You mean, like mom and dad ? What ?

I like the movie but there're several moments where I'm scratching my head going "Huh?"

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

I normally like Kenneth Branagh, but all the frolicking and mugging and overbearing use of an otherwise good score sinks this one. De Niro was good, though, when he didn't have to do dumb shit like play tug of war with Branagh over the bride. I'm not a huge fan of Coppola's Dracula, but this would have been a better movie if he had directed Darabont's script.

Legend (1985) - Theatrical Cut

It's a beautiful looking, well made movie, and of course Tim Curry excellent. But I feel like Cruise was miscast, and some plot points come right out of nowhere. And for all of the shouting about how much better the music is, the two cuts are about as good as each other. And the DC might get the edge from me since it holds back the reveal of Darkness and the Meg Mucklebones scene isn't cut down by half.



Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

Efron is good, but the movie as a whole isn't all that special. And uh, hi random James Hetfield cameo.

It's on Netflix.  I heard about the sequel a long time ago but never watched it until now.  I have to admit I love Hard Target  ;D The bad guy in Hard Target 2 also used to same single-shot hand gun Lance Henriksen uses but only in the end scenes.  I have two workprints of Hard Target that have extra scenes that even the extended cut doesn't have.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

Didn't expect it to be that good but was somehow even worse than my low expectations. They crammed together the plots of the first two games into an hour an 47 minute movie and it just did not work.

As a fan of the franchise, was pretty disappointed given this was supposed to be the reboot more in line with the games. It was an ensemble cast and wasn't the Milla show like the older series but at least those could be pretty entertaining while still being not great. The budget for this one also seemed quite cheap compared to any of the previous films.

4/10

Well this one was a complete reboot, and not part of the story of the previous six live action movies.

The best of the RE movies are definitely the CG ones, which are in the continuity of the games. I guess Netflix is making a live action series as well and the plot of that one sounds pretty wacky.

Deeply disturbing yet once again another excellent Australian biographical film by Justin Kurzel (with his brother in tow on the tunes). I was chatting to Tristan Jones about this on Insta stating how I went into this film not knowing who it was really about - Australia's worst ever mass shooting tragedy. And how sheepishly it took me a while to finally click who this was about.

Kurzel's films aren't easy viewing - always unsettling but he manages to nail the Australian tone of life even in the most darkest of events.

Brilliant performances in front and behind the lens.

Shadow in the Clouds

This started off with a fair bit of promise but from the point where Chloe Grace Moretz is climbing around on the outside of the plane it just got totally ridiculous and never recovered. A shame because I was getting quite into it up until then.

I forgot to check the credits, does anyone know if this has any genuine connection to the second script that O'Bannon mashed together with "Memory" to make Alien, or is it just coincidence?

Boss Level

Now this was a pleasant surprise! Most entertaining action film I've seen in ages. Did an unexpectedly brilliant job of being both hilariously funny and genuinely moving when it needed to be. I don't really know who Frank Grillo is, but I thought he was fantastic in the lead role, switching effortlessly between the dark comedy and the more emotional scenes. My only minor gripe is that I wish there'd been more Mel Gibson in it. Recommended.

The Unholy (2021)

Adaptation of the James Herbert novel Shrine. Dear god it's boring. It's one of the most generic horror movies I've ever seen. Worst thing is, Herbert is a good author, and it had the potential to be so much better. I've not even read the novel, but with the ending scene I could tell how much better it could have been with a better build up.

My 11 year old daughter is working her way through all the Marvel films and I've been sneaking peaks here and there. I'll admit whilst I enjoyed the majority of Marvel films I'm not hugely invested in them (that is most likely my DC bias there maybe).

Civil War which I found long and boring (the first time) still felt a bit bloated in parts. I also felt the video reveal of Tony's parents at the end was a bit too convenient.

She's watching Guardians of the Galaxy now which is easily my favourite. Superb ensemble cast, perfect music and a great fun story to boot.

Color out of Space (2.5/5)
Great story muddled with over exposed color and too long of a movie, easily could've shaved off some time. Some scenes I'm thinking "Yeah, this is going to be good!" Followed by "Why the hell does it feel like I'm watching a made for tv Sci-Fi movie!?"

The Green Knight (2.75/5)
Another great story that just gets lost along the way for me. Some great shots but I think it either needed to be more concise, or knock off 15min of runtime. (I do love what A24 is coming out with though!)

Finch (2.25/5)
Best way I could say this would be that I'd rather read it as a book, than watch it as a movie. (Plus I felt Chappie did it better!)

Split Second (1992)

Cheapo Rutger Hauer sci-fi action in futuristic 2008 London, where a grizzled cop and his new partner go up against a demonic serial killer. It's brilliant if you want a B movie. Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. It's great.

New Rose Hotel (1998)

Adaptation of a William Gibson novella set in the same world add Neuromancer. Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe and Asia Argento. Two businessmen use a call girl to seduce a scientist away from his job and family. It's... Odd. Not bad, but unusual. It has an arthouse, almost dream like quality.

"We're back! We're bad! You're black, I'm mad!"

Also Pieter Vorstedt is one of the most hateful villains from any movie I've seen, and has one of the best deaths. I don't think this one's quite as "good" as the first but it's my favourite of the four.

2 has always been my favorite. "They f**k you in the drive through!"

This was on TV last night, and I'll never pass up the chance to watch my favourite Bond movie.

I only just noticed how it's the same KGB agent who lets Koskov defect to the west, lets Kara slip her surveillance and lets Pushkin get accosted by Bond in his hotel room. How does this f**king guy still have a job? :laugh:

I thought Timothy Dalton was a great James Bond and it is a shame he only did two movies.  I haven't seen The Living Daylights or Licence to Kill in a very long time.

The Rock (1996)

It has been years since I last watched The Rock.  My brother wanted to watch a 90s film he hadn't seen.  It's cheesy but entertaining cheese.  All though Nic Cage does annoy me in this film.  Wish Michael Biehn had a longer role in this.

Of all the actors who've been cast as Bond, he played the part closest to the character as Fleming wrote him. Probably why he's my favourite 007. I honestly think the scene where he confronts Pushkin might be the best scene from any Bond movie.

Wish he'd got to at least finish out his contract and do his third.

Ironically, despite being billed as a Die Hard rip-off in its own advertising, I've never really thought it is. The Die Hard formula is one or two guys vs. a big bunch of baddies in a confined location. In Speed he's only actually on the bus for part of the film, there's only one villain and they're never even in the same place until the very end of the movie.

Excellent film though :)

The End of Evangelion

This is a movie... that I give a thumbs up.

To start off, I actually think it's pretty interesting to me how apparently a sizeable amount of people took issue with Neon Genesis Evangelion but liked The End of Evangelion more while I on the other hand was actually the opposite, at least initially.

But unlike some who have said The End of Evangelion is an alternate ending to the ending of Neon Genesis Envengelion, I on the other hand really believe that they are one in the same and that The End of Evangelion, beyond just offering more explanation by filling in some of the gaps as well as giving us some kickass Asuka action, is a different perspective of the same events and is heavier on the visuals that are both stunning and unsettling.

The biggest thing I'm still trying to process right now is the very ending, which I slept on even.

Spoiler
At first Shinji just straight up choking Asuka almost to death is something I interpreted as a regression in character, especially when you consider how he grew in the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion and I even for a moment forgot all about the dialogue in the human instrumentality that happened earlier.

But I decided to go back and watch the ending again and took in the beauty of that dialogue again. While it's possible I may not fully understand the very end I do take back my bit about regression and have some different thoughts the second time around, like initially Shinji getting a grip on reality was a bad joke I made but maybe it's not actually that far-fetch at all considering that he just came back from human instrumentality, not to say that human instrumentality isn't real at this point but rather still trying to figure out if he's in reality as we know it with individuality and free will. As well I think on the surface Asuka's comment "How disgusting" could very well be that they were all just sharing the same consciousness and she probably saw what he did in the beginning, but it could very well a part of a deeper meaning of joy and pain, how one can't exist without the other and therefore you cannot experience joy without also experiencing pain along the way, and particularly how Shinji rejected human instrumentality because he still wanted to experience joy even if it also meant experiencing pain.
[close]

With all that now in mind this is indeed a great movie I think (though you have to see Neon Genesis Evangelion first, otherwise what on earth are you doing). Do I think it's better or worse than Neon Genesis Evengelion? Honestly I can't even say because I honestly feel that they both just go together hand in hand. But yea I'll be looking out for a blu-ray copy. Thumbs up.

Also the Death and Rebirth movie which I saw beforehand is completely optional and I'd even skip if I knew that before, I didn't see Nightmare Asylum's post until after the fact and had my very own Baka Mitai moment.  :laugh: Death and Rebirth is literally a condensed Neon Genesis in the first half and the first half of End of Evangelion in the second half.

I plan on seeing the Rebuild of Evangelion series of films but I'm taking a break first after that long marathon, even just to take the time to further process and appreciate.

Lethal Weapon 3

Probably the weakest of the four imo, but still a fantastic movie and the opening scene might be the funniest in the whole series. The stuff about Roger killing his son's friend in a gang shootout is also pretty well done and gives Glover a chance to really flex his acting muscles. And I love how Kamen randomly included the clicks of a Zippo lighter in his score to reflect the completely irrelevant subplot about Riggs quitting smoking :laugh:

Oh yeah, and this film did the whole post-credits scene thing long before Marvel made it cool 8)

Pretty decent werewolf movie on the whole. Where else will you see Jack Nicholson pee on James Spader? :laugh: I mainly just wish they went a bit further with the wolf makeup. Almost every scene before the end is just a slightly hairier Jack with yellow eyes.



Malignant

Definitely one of the craziest, most out there horror movies of recent years. The trailer makes out to be just another James Wan spooky scary ghost movie, but it sooooooo isn't.

Not a patch on the first two, but the chemistry's still there in spades and I think it's probably better than the third film. Chris Rock isn't as effective an addition to the cast as Joe Pesci and Rene Russo were, but there's still some good laughs to be had from him.

I'd somehow managed to forget what a bad m.f. Jet Li is in this, he's a real presence whenever he's on screen. Might actually be my favourite role of his.

I kinda hope they never make a fifth one because the ending of this is such a perfect conclusion to the series.

Matrix Revolutions

Why, why, WHY, Mr. Anderson !?

When I think about it, Matrix sequels are like two halves of the first movie. Reloaded is like a giant dump of exposition, lore and philosophical ideas while Revolutions feels much more action-oriented

In general, I enjoyed both movies very much. Sure they're not without their share of problems, often feel disjointed and confusing but that makes them so much more appealing to me. To me movie that doesn't quite work is more interesting then a perfect one 'cause it leaves bigger space for thought

Yeah, I was really expecting some super goofy fun when I sat down to rewatch it, but was surprised at how serious (for lack of a better word) of a movie it is. The music is pretty good, the acting also, John Goodman's character is memorable lol.

Something that definitely helps is the minimal special effects. They used real spiders for pretty much the whole movie, which is impressive.

Damn this was a good movie. I was hesitant because I didn't care for The Shape of Water so I went into this with middle expectations...and it was a beautifully shot movie. Definitely one of De Toros best, up there with Pans Labyrinth.

I've nothing against Whalberg, but as a lover of the games he's so far removed from Sully they might as well have cast Danny DeVito.

Sad to hear about Banderas too, as I'm a big fan.

And yes, he apologized for parts of this, but never actually made any reparations.

And him on 9/11:
If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.'

Meh. If I didn't watch films because they starred someone who was a c**t off camera, I probably wouldn't be watching many films. Mel Gibson would be off limits for starters, and he's been in some of my favourite movies of all time.

Venom let there be carnage (2.5/5)

The movie felt pretty pointless to be honest but I like Hardy's character, maybe should've focused more on that....

Candyman 2021 (3/5)

Visually a good movie with some great atmosphere. They focused more on story than the urban legend of candyman so I wouldn't expect much if that's what your going for.

There's also the fact that, given how the preceding five minutes have gone for them, you kinda go into it expecting him to lose, being the old has-been versus the much younger, fitter upstart.

I especially love how he pauses after mangling Magua to stare into his eyes before delivering the coup de grâce.

My favourite is when Anakin is left all alone with Palpatine's voice taunting him about Padme's fate. And music just adds to the punch

I honestly don't understand what's the big deal with that ? Anakin just got told that he killed his own wife and unborn child, in emotional agony he screams "Nooo!" refusing to accept what he has done. What's wrong with that ?

Personally I feel like it's one of the cheesiest clichés, on top of which it's not even played well in the film. I find it more laughable than emotional.

Seriously, that scene would be right at home in a comedy spoof.

Absolutely not what I was expecting and in a good way. For some reason I was under the impression that it was going to be a John Wick/Taken kinda film and it couldn't be farther from it.

Halloween Kills (2.5/5)

I really enjoyed the first one that came out a few years ago so I guess you could say I was expecting this to be just as good, sadly that's nowhere near the case.

It's kinda a mess to be honest. The story doesn't ever really try to actually find a story ha. It's like a bunch of random stuff got edited together. Plus Anthony michael hall's performance was brutally bad and cringey...

Some cool kills with solid music but that's it. I'll still see the final installment because I'm still gonna hope for what the first one had...

I've seen all the Halloween films and been a fan since the 70s seeing the first one. This one was a real let down after the last one a few years ago.

I hated the fact Michael had his mask off. That just kinda kills the whole mystique and dread about him.

Agreed, that was unnecessary and I've been more than happy with that not happening in the others.

I feel the movie fell to countless other stories of the first one being a huge success, then fast tracking a sequel with little to no thought.

Pretty good rewatch, was in and out of the room a bit, I got my old laptops pop-out disk drive DVD player to work with this media player Freeware that I like so I'm watching some of my DVDs with it. I also am grabbing .srt subtitle files off of this website https://yts-subs.com/ which is normally the file type for pirated media files, but with this specific freeware media player I can add the .srt subtitle files and watch them paired with DVD, if they sync up which they dont always since the .srt files are for the rips of DVDs and blu rays I think.

Cruel Jaws (AKA Jaws 5)

Wow. Just... Wow. It's like MST3K bad. One of the main characters is pound-shop Hulk Hogan, and the main theme is Star Wars, but slightly rearranged to not infringe copyright.

It's hilariously bad. Apparently well out of print on blu-ray, but it's on YouTube right now. I don't even know whether to recommend it or not.

It's awful, but watchable because you want to see how bad it gets next. Like the disabled girl in a wheelchair who starts swimming when she's pushed into the water, or the pump action shotgun which one of the characters mimes using, but doesn't even have a barrel flash when the end of the barrel is onscreen the whole time, or the city official who's using a machine gun in a helicopter with no training and no recoil.

It's... It's a film.

I have a fanmade copy of The Abyss SE in HD. It's the best I've seen it looking. Still waiting for the 4K though. It's been scanned, and supposedly it might release at some point. Maybe.

Same with True Lies. Got a Spanish blu-ray of that and it's the best it's going to look, though it's nothing amazing.

This came out around about the time I lost interest in endless Marvel movies so I never saw it. It was... alright. Didn't really stand out in any way.

Credit where credit's due, though, the de-ageing on Michael Douglas at the start is probably the only time I've seen that sort of thing look real.

Finally got around  to watching this one. First of all, I wanna apologise for doubting Gaga's acting skills. Can't tell I was blown away by her performance but she did a darn good job playing Patrizia Gucci.

Unfortunately, Jared Leto as Paulo Gucci totally outshined her for me. He was so deliciously, comically pathetic I enjoyed every second seeing him on screen as if it was a tasty meal

The Spine of Night, was an ok throwback to classics like Heavy Metal and Fire and Ice with an interesting concept even if totally wasted on a mostly nonsensical plot but hey, it has gore galore.

Previously saw Antiviral and loved it so I guess now I should see Possessor which is the director's more renowned work apparently.

RRR (2022, S.S. Rajamouli)

I'd be hard-pressed to imagine that any other movie this year is going to have me riding the high that I'm feeling coming out of RRR right now. This movie boasts some of the most entertaining action put to screen this side of Mad Max: Fury Road, and like Fury Road, RRR looks and feels more like a truly great comic book being faithfully brought to life on film than the vast majority of actual comic book adaptations tend to. The melodrama, the music, the myriad of tonal shifts, the sweeping friendships and romances and bitter rivalries are all dialed up to 11 here, and every one of these exaggerated beats it throws at the screen don't just land – they practically knock you back in your seat.

Den of Thieves

An even more brazen Heat knock-off than The Town (it begins with an armoured car heist and its centrepiece action sequence is a hyper-realistic shootout on city streets). The major twist is that that the cop hunting the bad guys is even more of a dick than they are.

As blatant as it is, I feel like this was far more enjoyable than it has any right to be. Gerard Butler was on top form, and despite chewing the scenery like a starving man who's been handed a plate of bacon, he somehow managed to stay just about on the right side of ludicrous throughout. Pablo Schreiber was also solid as the leader of the crew Butler's trying to take down. And to be fair, I didn't see the plot twist at the end coming.

21 Bridges

Another modern cops n' robbers thriller that takes more than a little influence from Heat. Notable for being one of Chadwick Bozeman's last movies. Again, it wasn't especially original or nuanced, but I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of it. The cast were all on point, it again featured a bunch of great shootouts and there was just enough intrigue to keep me engaged until the end.

Netflix horror. Vaguely OK. Kinda like what if Ready Player One was a horror story. Nothing special, but passes the time OK.

I'm currently watching It: Chapter Two. It's nowhere near as engaging as the first, hence why I'm typing this as I'm watching. I don't completely remember the book, so can't say to the accuracy, but from a film viewer's perspective, it's badly paced, has unnecessary humour which undercuts any scares, and a lot of the creature design is funny rather than horrific. It's also realllllllllllllllllly long.

Probably will post my more elaborated thoughts later

Some of my elaborated (not too organised) thoughts

Spoiler

- Intro was pretty cool, although I feel like I've seen the best part in the trailer

- I liked how Bat-suit looks, especially mask which screamed "home-made" to me. I liked in general how low-tech this Batman was in comparision to others. Seeing Batman's geting dirty was great

- Pattinson was good in the role. I liked how his Batman didn't quite have the experience which is IMO best examplified in the scene when he escapes from GCPD only to hit his head on the bridge. As far as cinematic Batmans go, my ranking would be this: Bale > Affleck > Pattinson > Keaton.

- Riddler was good but not amazing. I couldn't escape thinking about Heath Ledger while watching him especially with whole broadcast hijacking, weird articulation, kidnapping and terrorist attacks. He felt like TDK Joker with Bane's voice. Made me laugh couple of times, actor seemed to enjoy playing the role. I don't get his design though. I'm completely noob when it comes to comics but isn't Riddler supposed to be stylish, wearing green suit, with a hat and a cane ? Is there a similiar design from the comics ? And what his mask was supposed to be made out of?

- Penguin was kinda underutilised but I honestly liked that they didn't try to make him into another "villain" of the movie. He was just a character who existed in this world and I was pleased with it. Bat-mobile chase was neat but I miss how heavy and imposing Tumbler from Nolan movies was

-Zoe Kravitz didn't really impress me as Catwoman. In terms of looks she is probably the closest to Year One Catwoman but that's about it. My heart still belongs to sassy Anne Hathaway

- I feel like Alfred existed in the movie only for that exposition dump in the hospital scene. As far as usefulness goes he was on the same level as Alfred from the 90s movies while Michael Caine and Jeremy Irons got a lot more to do in their respective movies IMO. Also, when that bomb went off, I was like "Oh shit, are they gonna kill Alfred in the first movie !?" But of course they didn't. And who was that old lady supposed to be ? Is she somebody from the comics ?

- A lot of this movie felt like "I've seen this somewhere before". For example, I liked how they made Waynes' past more shaddy than usual and how that made Bruce question the importance of his whole crusade against crime but I feel like I've seen this and the whole "poor vs. rich" riots in 2019 Joker movie. As I've said earlier, Riddler felt very much like TDK Joker knock-off. Also, a lot of this movie reminded me of Batman Begins but I can't quite put finger on what exactly. Idk, maybe because of how shitty and rainy this version of Gotham is ?

- Movie really tries to cram A LOT into it's runtime. Some plotlines get forgotten for the other ones to be picked up, some of them get kinda abandoned. Runtime didn't bother me, movie held my interest till the end but I wish some of its elements were fleshed out more

-Interogation scene in Arkham felt like a nice climax for the movie. Oh well, Batman gotta go kick some goons in Riddler costumes. Kinda took from the weight of the final fight that they were just faceless strangers. And whole flood thing came outta nowhere, didn't it ? Nice visuals though, I liked how Batman jumps from the smoke and is all like "Bwaaarggggh !". Also, I liked when that umasked "Riddler" did a callback to the beginning of the movie, confronting Batman with his own words

- Joker ... Ugh. Did we really need this ?

- Ending was kinda corny and on the nose but I liked how hopeful it was. Visual of Batman in the water holding that flare, a beacon of hope above his head, while surrounded by darkness was quite memorable and impressive. In general, visuals and cinematography were great. Good job, Matt Reeves
[close]

Although, It may seem I have more criticism than praise for the movie I still enjoyed it overall, As I've said, that movie gets how Batman should "feel" and that's most important to me, I love me some good atmosphere. I'm looking forward to re-watching this one to pick up on things I might've missed

Solid 7/10 from me

The Batman (3.5/5)

Overall I enjoyed the movie. I really didn't mind the length and thought the characters were done especially well. It was nice to see Riddler and Penguin take the reigns, even though Riddler felt reminiscent of Jokers chaos in The Dark Knight.

My issue with the film is fatigue. I think I'm getting tired/burnt out on the different variations of characters and the whole universe. I think one of many reasons why Batman Begins was good was because of the gaps in time we saw him. And although I liked Pattinson as Batman, I felt like I've seen this all before...

IF there is another one I'd really like some different characters. I can say, as of now, I'm done seeing the joker.

Aliens (1986) Theatrical Cut

Decided with it being Alien day to revisit the theatrical cut of Aliens.  Aliens, the theatrical cut, was the first Alien film I ever saw and the film that made me an instant fan.

Alien 3 (1992) Electronic Press Kit

Years ago I managed to score an Alien 3 press kit which came with black and white photographs and colour slides.  Missing was the 'Visual Audio Press Kit' VHS tape.  Luckily I managed to get hold of a copy not long after.

Aliens (1986) Theatrical Cut Laserdisc

Lots of memories and nostalgia watching Alien and Aliens in this old format.  I've enjoyed the trip down memory lane  :)

Matrix Reloaded

Matrix Revolutions

Spoiler
Couldn't sleep last night so just took of my laptop and started rewatching Reloaded. Man, I can't get enough of these movies. I know they're flawed movies, oftenly they feel like a compilation of great scenes badly glued together but I'll be damned if they're not captivating to watch.

I wouldn't call myself a particularly big fan of "action movies" but holy shit I can watch these scenes on loop:

I absolutely adore final Neo vs Smith even though it doesn't make a lot of sense why Smith wouldn't just send all of his clones against The One. I guess, it makes it feel more personal when they're just one on one and it doesn't matter really 'cause Neo still "loses" in the end

That scene is might be too stretched out and eventually one begins asking "When are we gonna get back to Neo and Trinity ?" but it has a lot of great character moments. It's nice to see movie take a moment to show that it's not only Neo who is fighting for survival of humanity - it's the collective struggle of all the humans. Captain Mifune's death is gotta be my favourite of these moments:

"- Captain, I didn't finish the training program.
 - Neither did I"

Wow, I finally read the whole thing. I didn't know you were so interested in The Matrix. :o
Title: Re: Last Movie You Watched
Post by: Kradan on May 23, 2022, 08:18:37 PM
Reloaded and Revolutions, to be more specific. As good and mind-blowing as the first Matrix is, it's ultimately a crowd-pleaser which utilises old as the world "hero's journey" formula. I'll always pick a movie that takes risks and weird turns and doesn't work for everybody over that. I don't particularly like "perfect" movies because they don't really allow for an interesting conversation, there're only so many ways you can say "The Matrix was amazing !" That's why I'll pick Alien 3 over Aliens, Dark Knight Rises over Dark Knight (seriously, try say something good about it besides Heath Ledger's performance was fantastic), Man of Steel/Batman v. Superman over any Marvel movie and Reloaded/Revolutions over original Matrix, because these movies are ultimately "imperfect", they are flawed and because of that they are interesting to pick apart, dissect, analyse what went wrong and what could've been done better or different

On a related note, whatever you may think of Resurrections (I still am not sure whether that movie was good or bad) it certainly picked my interest in these goddamn Matrix movies

Still have to watch Animatrix

I feel like it was hurt at the time by the number of people who thought Cruise was supposed to be the titular character and slated the film because of that misconception.

The Sadness
28 Days Later meets Home Sweet Home. It's ridiculously gory, kinda disturbing, and vaguely hilarious. It's mad, violent and great.

Look Away
Decent horror flick about a bullied girl and her evil reflection. Blurs the line between psychological and paranormal horror, and there are certain sequences that are creepy in a slightly disturbing way. 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I thought it was decent. It's got Jason Isaacs and Mira Sorvino in, and they're always solid.

I'd like it more if they didn't puss out on the demons and hell, but otherwise it's watchable enough.


Crimes of the Future (2022)

Not nearly as disgusting as it's been hyped up to be, but I mostly enjoyed this look into a whacked out future. I'm mainly just torn on how it ended. It's something that could improve on further reflection, or could get worse.


Doom: Annihilation

Well, they actually had demons this time, and the Imps were legitimately pretty cool. It's worse than first movie in literally every other way, though. For example, we actually get to see the BFG hit something this time, but it's the weakest, lamest BFG ever.

Jurassic World: Dominion

Such a disappointment. Filled with plot holes, and goofy moments galore. No stakes, and seeming to riff on various other franchises as well as having nostalgia callbacks that are way too on the nose.

Worst thing is that there are some genuinely good moments in it. The good bits are really good, and they do elevate it, but the bad bits are just kinda dumb. Also, it had no need to be 2 1/2 hours long. Pacing is bad.

The original JP is my joint favourite movie. This one is somewhere near the bottom of the pile.

Yeah, Cooper is basically a less good version of every LL Cool J character in a movie.

I give Anderson some credit, he actually came up with the Hell idea himself. The first draft instead had the ship and crew influenced in some way by weird octopus aliens, and it wasn't very well explained. I largely think the movie needed more breathing room for certain scenes.

Absolutely travesty what they did (twice), to two of the most deeply affecting and intelligent stories about trauma.

If you saw Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, you can expect similar though more confusing narrative.

In the end, it's all an inner fantasy of a depressive, with a somewhat schizoid personality, janitor who dreams of a more successful version of himself.

Sticking with Bond:

I liked Timothy Dalton as Bond and wished he had done a few more films.

Live and Let Die (1973)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moonraker (1979)

Roger Moore is my favourite Bond and it has been a blast revisiting the Bond films.  I noticed while watching Moonraker a lot of sound effects in that film were also used in both Alien and Aliens.

I must admit that the Brosnan films are guilty pleasures of mine  :laugh: If it wasn't for the legal troubles between EON and MGM we would have gotten Goldeneye back in 1990 with Timothy Dalton.  Even though I liked Dalton's Bond I think Brosnan was great in Goldeneye.

If you're a fan of the original I'd say they're definitely worth a try. Patchy mayyybe in parts even a tad bit superficial but still packed with what you'd expect from revisiting NGE's world.

Iirc the first one is pretty much a retell of the first six or so episodes of the series. With the second one then the films definitely become their own beast.

I'd like that one a hell of a lot more if it paused for breath once in a while. The couple of times it actually slows down for five minutes are probably the best bits of the film, but then you're thrown straight back into another incomprehensibly-edited action scene.

Spectre

This was a bit better for me on a rewatch, it's solidly mid-tier Bond. It just has a ton of problems, like the weirdly unengaging action scenes, and it falls apart not long after they get to the Spectre base in the same crater from The Mummy. :laugh: And Bautista is pretty cool here, shame he only uses his eye popping gimmick once. I guess they thought since they successfully mystery boxed M and Moneypenny in Skyfall then they could do it to Blofeld here, but it blew up in their faces.

And after taking a glance at the leaked script, it seems like they threw out some of the more sinister and interesting ideas, and certain lines that explained things in a better or more coherent way.

Quote from: HuDaFuK on Jul 20, 2022, 02:35:25 PMReally annoyed me how SPECTRE awkwardly retconned him into just another Blofeld stooge. He worked so much better as his own man.

If they just left it at Blofeld funneling him some money and resources, I wouldn't mind it so much. But that dumb shit about literally every villain having worn that exact Spectre decoder ring makes it so much worse.

And Dominic Greene didn't even merit a picture on the wall in Blofeld's dumb haunted house, oof.

P.S. Sam Smith sounds like he was trying to beat Madonna with the worst Bond theme. He didn't quite manage that, but damn, it's the worst song from the Craig era by a landslide.

The worst Craig song is easily No Time to Die. Nothing f**king happens. It goes nowhere. Smith's song is actually quite nice on its own, but the Eilish song I can't even listen to as its own piece. And I like her music!

But both are a serious step down from the first three. You know My Name? Another Way to Die? Skyfall? f**king bangers, the lot of them.

People love to harp on the changes Lucas made to those, but honestly - other than Greedo shooting first, Vader's stupid "NOOOOOOOOO!" in Jedi and sticking Christensen's creepy rapist-glare ghost in - I dig them.

EDIT: OK, I forgot about him re-dubbing Boba Fett too. Although I don't think that would bother me either if Temuera Morrison's delivery wasn't so painfully flat.

Loved it. Not sure I'd stretch all the way to 9.6/10 or whatever it was on official review sites the last time I looked, but it's a solid 8/10. Probably the best Predator movie outside of the original, even if I think I personally still prefer the second one a bit.

This is definitely the first one since the second that understands the best way to do the Predator is to just drop it into a genre movie.

Iron Man

So I honestly got bored of Marvel ages ago, but given that I have a month of Disney+ to use up following Prey I've decided to work my way through them, at least up to the end of the original saga as I've heard Infinity War in particular is well worth watching.

Despite my general apathy towards superheroes, I do really like the Iron Man films. (Upon reflection I think maybe I just struggle to relate to heroes with fantastical powers, whereas the ones who are essentially just people - Batman, Iron Man, Punisher - are more my cup of tea). As if it needed saying, Downey, Jr. completely and utterly makes this role his own and is superb in the part. It's pretty funny looking back at this comparatively modest movie now knowing what an absolute juggernaut this franchise would become. It's also weird seeing Terrence Howard in the role of Rhoady; with how vast this franchise's interconnected cast has become, it's easy to forget the early recastings. Anyway, suffice to say, this remains one of my favourites from the MCU.

Next up - The Incredible Hulk (Although why the ever-loving f**k is that one not on Disney+?! This is why I absolutely loathe streaming - three of the MCU movies are missing. I'm sure there are complicated legal reasons why they're not on Disney but it just makes a mockery of the whole system. Fortunately I've got that one on Blu-ray from when I bought the phase one box set.)

The Incredible Hulk

What really kills this for me is the fact every single character is a worse piece of casting than it was in the Ang Lee movie. Norton has it twice as bad as anyone - great actor though he may be, he's inferior to both his predecessor Bana and his successor Ruffalo in the title role. Also the villain is basically just an evil Hulk, which feels massively uninspired after an opening Iron Man movie where the villain was basically just an evil Iron Man.

Iron Man 2

This was actually a lot better than I remembered it being. It's still kinda messy and Rourke isn't in it enough, but on the whole I really enjoyed seeing this again. It's also probably the first one in the MCU that feels like an MCU movie (for better or worse - lots of baddies blowing up cars but otherwise generally hurting nobody). Needless to say Downey, Jr. is still the star of the show, but Sam Rockwell is great too. Totally forgot about Elon Musk's cameo :laugh:

Thor

You'd think a movie with such a rich backstory to work with would at least manage to be interesting, but mostly I just find this to be kinda boring and underwhelming. Hopkins feels largely wasted, and while Hemsworth and Hiddleston are decent enough in their roles, both would go on to far greater performances later in the franchise. I'd completely forgotten that this is the film where Hawkeye first pops up (for all of five minutes).

I also watched the one-shot The Consultant. I've not seen any of these shorts before. It was OK. The central gag earned a laugh, but honestly it's hard to critique something that's only four minutes long and fully one third of it is just a scene from an existing movie replayed.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Some good scenes, and Weaving is predictably on-point as a sneering Nazi, but overall it feels way too disjointed and schizophrenic - it kinda jumps from one scene to the next with no real feeling of connectivity. It also feels overly long, but manages to be anaemically superficial at the same time. For instance, we're never given a reason to care about any of the Howling Commandos; in fact, other than some threadbare history for Bucky, we don't even get to know who any of them are. Oh, and it's a bit dumb how this movie constantly bigs up Hydra's advanced weaponry as utterly world-beating and war-winning, only for their forces to get repeatedly pwned by a handful of regular GIs with old-fashioned shooters. As for Evans, much like Hemsworth and Hiddleston in the previous movie, he's decent in this but definitely grew into the role later on.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer

Better than the previous short in that this was actually entirely new. And I guess it was kinda fun to see Coulson actually be a badass for once.

The Avengers aka Avengers Assemble because John Steed stole the original title here.

At the time I only went to see this in the cinema because I felt I should rather than because I wanted to - which made it all the more surprising when I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I seem to recall it coming out around the same time as the first Expendables, and this totally schools it in how to do a big ensemble movie. All the characters are balanced, everyone gets plenty to do, no one feels wasted. The principle cast members feed off each other and everyone has now well and truly grown into their roles and made them their own. Also how good is it to finally have an MCU movie with a decent score?!

Item 47

This was the first one-shot that actually felt like there was a point to it. A fun little side story. Got a kick out of seeing Bosch in the MCU :laugh:

So that's Phase One done and dusted. Summary - I thought the Iron Man films were great (2 was way better than I remembered) and Avengers was fantastic, but the other movies were pretty meh.

I'm hoping to get around to it before my Disney+ subscription runs out in a few weeks.

Tbh I'm enjoying working my way through the Marvel stuff more than I expected to, so I might even consider keeping it for another month to finish everything. Obviously there's a bunch of series later on that are gonna take a bit of time to get through.

Thor: The Dark World

Much like the first Thor, this felt like it really should've been a hell of a lot more memorable than it was. Hiddleston was absolutely on point once again as Loki and there was some fun moments in the portal-hopping final battle, but for the most part this was just thoroughly mediocre.

All Hail the King

Absolutely brilliant. Far and away the best of these shorts thus far, and probably the only one I'd call essential viewing. Kingsley was amazing, and the Justin Hammer cameo had me roaring.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

This is a fantastic movie, right up until the moment it resolves absolutely nothing about it's titular character and then just stops in the middle of a scene. It drove me mad the first time I saw it and it still bugged me this second time around, but ultimately it doesn't charge the fact that on the whole this is a top-tier Marvel film. Definitely served well by its grittier spy-thriller tone. I'd completely forgotten about "The path of the righteous man..." on Fury's gravestone :laugh:

Guardians of the Galaxy

People rave about this one, and while I enjoy it, I don't think I quite understand the adoration it receives. It's a good movie and a welcome change of pace from the ones before, but it's far from top-tier Marvel imo. Still, I am mightily looking forward to these guys meeting up with everyone else later on.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

This one massively disappointed me at the time it came out, but watching it again now it was better than I remembered. It's still not a patch on the first Avengers (and the finale being a carbon-copy of the first really drags it down in the last act), but there was a lot more to like than I remembered. Another great MCU villain in the form of James Spader. Still, the final shot of the "new" Avengers assembled undeniably leaves you with a slightly deflated feeling of "Oh... So we've got those guys now..."

Ant-Man

This was the first one I skipped at the time as burnout began to set in, although I had seen it since. Watching it on it's own it felt thoroughly forgettable, but seeing it off the back of several sprawling MCU epics, it's more mundane tone actually worked in its favour (as did the more overtly comedic slant). I still think this would've made more sense as the first film of phase three rather than a slightly lacklustre conclusion to phase two, but there we go. Oh, and Michael Douglas' digital plastic surgery is still far and away the best digital de-ageing I've seen, and probably the only time the technology hasn't wound up looking entirely creepy.

So that's phase two done. Summary - I'd say this round was more consistently good than phase one. Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier were both stellar and the one-shots finally came into their own (especially All Hail the King) - so it's slightly ironic that they then stopped doing them.* Of this phase I'd say The Dark World was the only one I struggled with.

Onwards to phase three.

*I'm aware they did some shorts for Ragnarok, but as I understand it they're jokey mockumentary-style things rather than in-universe short films.

Captain America: Civil War

I still have no idea why this was branded as a Captain America movie; it's an Avengers film in all but name. There's certainly moments where it serves as a follow-up to Winter Soldier, but the bulk of the film is actually a sequel to Age of Ultron. More than that, if they were really determined to make this a stand-alone entry, it feels like its more a Tony Stark movie than it is a Steve Rogers one.

But anyway, existential crisis aside, it's pretty solid and undeniably epic in scope. The tone gets a little confused at times - one minute everyone seems to be having a bit of a laugh despite beating the crap out of each other, the next it's suddenly deadly serious, and it doesn't always seem to pick the right feel for the right scene - but once it settles on downbeat for the final act it really finds its groove. I'd totally forgotten the unhappy(ish) ending; curious to see how that gets picked up. One last point - how did they manage to make de-aged Tony Stark look so rubbery when Hank Pym looked so good in the last film?

Doctor Strange

It's kinda surprised me that it's taken this long to get to a film I've not seen before. This was... OK. Cumberbatch was as good as you'd expect - I kinda liked that he was a bit of a dick to start off with - but Mikkelsen felt pretty wasted as the villain and on the whole it just didn't much grab me. Mostly I think it was just too fantastical for my tastes.

Nope (2022)

What I like most about this movie is not only the surprising twist to the classic UFO trope, but also that it makes me think in-universe about the implications....

Spoiler
The cryptozoological nature of the phenomenon makes me think that in Nope's universe, not only UFOs, but also ancient Legends (like biblical stories for example) may be interactions between humans and this animal, totally unknown to science. Although the fact that they don't explain exactly what it is gives it a touch of cosmic horror.

Oh and listening to people and horses being digested by Jean Jacket was very creepy, not to mention that scene when Otis pokes his head through the door of his truck to look up and see that thing and then say 'Nope!' It was both scary and kinda funny. ;D

I also read that the pandemic and its consequences inspired Jordan Peele to create this story...

Team Thor (Parts 1 & 2)

I feel like the idea of these was funnier than the execution. Still, I did get a genuine laugh out of the bit where Thor leaves his hammer on the toilet seat so Darryl can't use it :laugh:

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

The first two thirds of this struck me as noticeably better than the first. Sadly it sags a bit in the final act and reverts to the same CGI overload we've seen before. Also the gag where something happens and then Drax laughs exaggeratedly is getting pretty old now. The digital de-ageing was back up to snuff with Kurt Russell at the beginning.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

I didn't think I'd seen this one, but watching it now made me realise I had, I'd obviously just forgotten all about it. For whatever reason, Spider-Man might be my least favourite of the big-name superheroes, so while I didn't love this, it probably says something that I wound up quite enjoying it. It's definitely helped by having Tony Stark in it, which probably would've felt forced if not for how it flows nicely from Civil War. Keaton was predictably solid as the villain. And Aunt May finding out that Peter is Spider-Man at the very was admittedly pretty hilarious.

Thor: Ragnarok

Well, it took them three attempts, but they finally made a good stand-alone Thor movie. This was awesome. Completely left-field, but that only served to make it better. Did a surprisingly good job of balancing the considerable humour with the darker elements (of which some were really quite dark indeed). Nice to see Ruffalo back as Hulk, and Hiddleston was excellent once again. "I've been falling for thirty minutes!" cracked me right up :laugh:

Black Panther

I so wanted to like this because I really appreciated what it was trying to do, but honestly? I thought it was entirely meh. Do I sound racist if I say I feel as though people only raved about this because it was so Africa-centric? As a film it was entirely average and occasionally it even seemed kinda shoddily made compared to many of the other MCU films; some of the CGI in particular was awful. Also (at the risk of continuing to be a big racist) Andy Serkis was far and away the best thing about it but then
Spoiler
he was dead by the halfway point and all the charisma seemed to fall out of the movie.

Avengers: Infinity War

Well, damn. This was a great film. I kinda knew how it ended ahead of time but it still packed a gut-punch. Brolin was fantastic as Thanos. Finally seeing the Guardians meet the Avengers was as much fun as I'd hoped it would be. My only real gripe was that watching Thanos tear shit up so relatively effortlessly had me unavoidably wondering why he didn't just do all this about ten movies ago.

AD = Audio described for the blind and visually impaired (and anyone who wants to "watch" a film while they drive on their commute"). Essentially, in between the dialogue, there is a narrator who tells you what is going on. Great for the commute!

If you've got the physical media of Prometheus or ALIEN:Covenant, load that up, select the AD track, turn off the picture, and listen ...

(Although I think the narrator on Prometheus is not the best match for the film).

Yeah, it was a good one :)

Avengers: Endgame

Going into this, the general consensus I'd seen from friends and online reviews was that this wasn't nearly as good as Infinity War, but to be honest I wound up liking it quite a bit more. I definitely didn't expect the bulk of it to be a relatively low-key time travel caper. Great to see Paul Rudd finally get the chance to flex his serious acting muscles in the MCU. It definitely had faults - it manged to feel very long whilst also feeling occasionally rushed; the final battle was a bit of a mess (not terribly surprising given just how many characters weigh in); the random "girl power" moment where all the female heroes line up for a glory shot felt terribly artificial, coming out of nowhere for no real reason; for the first time in an Avengers movie the balancing of the cast felt a little off and some characters seemed to get sidelined; and what the hell was the deal with Pepper Potts suddenly being a combat expert in the Iron Man suit Tony had only just made for her five minutes earlier? - but overall the pros far outweighed the cons and as a conclusion to everything that's come thus far it was remarkable. A truly staggering number of cameos from practically every previous movie.
Spoiler
I admit I'd already had Tony's death at the end spoiled by watching Far from Home on TV as little while back, but it still packed a punch and his funeral scene was wonderful - especially appreciated the cameo by the kid from Iron Man 3 (even if I had to look up who he was :laugh: Children age a lot in six years!) The wrapping up of Captain America's arc was also really touching and felt like the perfect conclusion for him.
[close]
So yeah, I really dug this. And whatever negatives I might have taken away, I just gotta say - kudos to Marvel for constructing a conclusion in the face of such rampant anticipation that actually winds up being satisfying.

Spider-Man: Far from Home

A bit like Ant-Man at the end of phase two, this felt like a slightly clunky afterthought to phase three, but I guess it makes sense that they'd wanna deal with the aftermath of the Blip straight away. That aside, I was surprised just how much I enjoyed this, despite a plot twist that really doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I think a big part of getting past that was thanks to Jake Gyllenaal's character, who was one of the more interesting to crop up in the MCU.

So that's phase three, and the Infinity Saga, done. On the whole I thought this round had probably the biggest gulf between the good films and the not-so-good. Civil War, Ragnarok and the two-part Avengers finale were the highlights and up there with the best of the MCU, while Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Ant-Man and the Wasp felt pretty throwaway.

I wasn't sure whether I'd continue past this, but as I've got the best part of a month of Disney+ left, I think I will.

alternate director?

AD = Audio described for the blind and visually impaired (and anyone who wants to "watch" a film while they drive on their commute"). Essentially, in between the dialogue, there is a narrator who tells you what is going on. Great for the commute!

If you've got the physical media of Prometheus or ALIEN:Covenant, load that up, select the AD track, turn off the picture, and listen ...

(Although I think the narrator on Prometheus is not the best match for the film).

Went and saw Jaws in IMAX last night! Apparently it's the first time it's being shown on IMAX screens, and wow, it was so awesome to watch on a screen that big!

It's an all time classic, of course. I've seen it a hundred times, but seeing it in an IMAX theatre made it feel like a fresh experience.

So perfectly shot and executed. It has a unique sense of dread and adventure that's so timeless and rewatchable. I always forget just how good the cinematography is, and just how well it's shot. Still have a deep seeded fear of the water because of this film lol.

One of the best films ever, for real.

Hahahahaha oh man. I went into this thing 100% blind – I hadn't read a synopsis, I never saw a trailer, I wouldn't have even known who was in it if I didn't happen to catch the names on the poster. Barbarian wasn't on my radar at all... until a bunch of strangers on the internet started touting it as this year's Malignant, and saying to go and see it immediately before it gets spoiled.

And now here I am, another stranger on the internet, saying to go and see Barbarian as soon as you can and go in knowing as little as you can. This one's a ride.

Over the weekend I caught Creature from the Black Lagoon on the big screen AND in RealD 3D no less! Gillman has always been my favorite of the classic Universal Monsters, and I'm pleasantly surprised how well the film holds up! And even more surprised how good the 3D was! I'm not a big 3D guy, but the 3D just worked so well for a lot of the underwaters scenes (which are amazing for their time btw). Appreciated a lot of the kinda precursor elements to films like Alien and Jaws. Still love the Gillman's design and practical effects too! Awesome and classic film.

(https://media.giphy.com/media/ttdb9OZKZdlrW/giphy.gif)


Also went and saw Barbarian last night, and was also pretty pleasantly surprised by that! It's a really solid and well structured horror film, with a healthy amount of tongue-in-cheek-ness. Definitely understand the comparisons to Malignant. Was also surprised to find out that it was directed by one of the members of the sketch comedy group Whitest Kids U'Know, who I love and grew up on! You might remember him as the guy who played Lincoln in the infamous Abe Lincoln sketch lol. Interesting to see a pattern of comedy people having a knack for horror.

Anyway, this one is definitely worth checking out! And I agree with @Nightmare Asylum about going in blind for sure!

That sounds awesome! Glad you had a good time. Never watched any Gill-Man/Gill-Monster/Fish-Monster monster movies. Gillman sounds like the best most fitting name too. I'm not super well-versed in classic Universal Monster movies or monsters.

Star Wars -VHS (A New Hope film, but the case doesnt have that title)
The Matrix -VHS
The Matrix Reloaded -VHS
LoTR: The Return of The King -DVD (I think this DVD is merely Theatrical Cut edition)

Thats what I watched in full, I am in a bad habit of starting movies (especially on streaming) and getting distracted, not finishing them. So those ones obviously aren't worth putting here (bandwidth waste), only films watched in full are worth putting here.

Black Widow

Finally an actual movie in phase four! Sadly I struggled with this way more than any other MCU movie to date. The attempts at humour were uniformly unfunny, the editing in the action scenes was frequently incomprehensible, Ray Winstone's accent was awful, some of the CGI was absolutely shocking and what the hell was up with that ending? One moment Romanov is being apprehended by the US government (who conveniently appear out of nowhere in the middle of Russia) and the next she's suddenly free again with zero explanation and heading off to bust her Civil War co-conspirators out of the Raft. Did an entire reel fall off the back of a lorry somewhere?

Wake in Fright (1971).

One of only two films to be shown twice at the Cannes film festival.

I read the book in school about 1989, but I'm absolutely gobsmacked by how good the film was. Absolutely supurb direction; it's bleak and harrowing but also funny, and a pointed, uncompromising look at toxic Australian culture.

I loved the phrase "Aggressive hospitality" used in the film.

The whole thing is on Youtube if anyone is interested. And this is an excellent write-up and analysis of the film. (https://andyoucallyourselfascientist.com/2019/11/13/wake-in-fright-1971/)

I actually liked the goats. I mostly liked the film, mostly. There was so much stuff that was unnecessarily over the top and cringeworthy, though. I love GnR, but I didn't need 4 tracks by them. It seemed tonally all over the place and like they were trying too hard.

Warner Bros does not deserve any kudos either, ever since 2012 they have jumped (in commercial and critical reception terms) from disaster to disaster, with only a handful of successes like the Harley Quinn Animated Series, James Gunn's Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, and another Batman Reboot. They also just massively dropped the ball with HBO Max and are shooting themselves in the foot not doing Batman Beyond with Michael Keaton. 

I'm about ready for the superhero film genre to go the way of the western myself. Not go away entirely, but just take a goddamn break, and pace it out a bit.

I'm vaguely hoping that after Flash they'll do Batman Beyond set in the Burton-verse. It seems likely that they're going to do away with the concept of Keaton being the main DCEU Batman (and the burying of Batgirl ties into that, because it was going to be set in the 'new DCEU'and wouldn't fit continuity), and so I'm thinking that maybe they could continue Keaton's story back in his own universe.

Also, whoever was operating the camera did a damn good job: cinematography is beatiful with many memorable shots. Surprisingly well-paced: movie's 2 hours but at no point I felt like it was dragging.

Fiennes was excellent but winds up getting lost in a film that tonally is so incongruous it just never flows; I know the first two mixed comedy and drama, but they almost always managed to strike a fair balance between the two. This swung between them so wildly it wound up feeling all over the place. The WWI stuff was the best part (and to be fair the shock plot twist was quite effective) but otherwise it felt like a waste.

My personal fave simply because there is some wonderful characters introduced so beautifully IMO (I like the rather smaller scale of this one compared to the 2 sequels to come) - best colour palette of all 3 films.

The Ride of the Rohirrim is for me the greatest cinematic scene ever filmed. Seeing on the big screen ... incredible. The music, the emotion, the visuals, everything about it. Incredible.

And boy when Frodo says goodbye to Sam at the end ...  :'(

PJ recalling his earlier horror roots. Also I wish Shelob (whilst terrifying) was more true to the original designs of her. There is a bit in the book (if I recall) where Sam sees Shelob come out of nowhwere and run at Frodo with frightening speed and we never got that in the film.

That said we got so many wonderful moments in that film I can't fault it at all.

Checked out The Empty Man last night

I skipped out on it when it first came out because it looked and sounded like one of those generic urban-legend/creepypasta jumpscare-fest horror movies (like the Bye Bye Man, Slenderman, etc), but I heard enough times that it was underrated, so I decided to check it out. And man, it was really mismarketed.

It kinda tiptoes around being one of those movies at certain points, but majority of it is a really interesting lovecraftian/cosmic horror mystery with a lot of atmosphere. It has some really striking cinematography as well. Got a similar vibe as Malignant, in that it makes you think it's going to be one movie, but then unravels into something else (was also pleased to see some subtle echoes of Twin Peaks: The Return in there too).

Not perfect, but I would definitely say that it's underrated and worth checking out!

The whole scene/creature definitely gave me a lot of similar vibes to the space jockey and the scene where they find it. In both a visual and thematic sense. It even has the same boney/fossilized look and texture as the space jockey.

It Follows

Never watched this when it came out, went into it mostly blind. I'm still processing but what seemed a little silly actually became effective.

Antlers

Depressing and just too serious. I loved the creature elements and effects, very cool. But the Wendigo lore elements should have been more prominent. There was a lot of potential to be amazing but I think this just barely missed the mark. Still worth watching for the creature work.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, but the way it was both absolutely hilarious and completely terrifying really threw me for six.

My mate and I were both home alone over the weekend so we got together to relive our university years by eating junk and watching movies all day.

The Suicide Squad (the good one)

I never bothered with the first but Johnny was adamant I needed to see this. Loved it. Irreverent, hilarious, gratuitous and just plain good fun. Great to see Idris finally get a worthwhile role in a Hollywood blockbuster. And while I like John Cena as a bloke, I've always considered him utterly useless as an actor, so it was a nice surprise to see just how spot-on he was in this.

Ambulance

How the hell is this Michael Bay's second highest-rated movie on IMDb? Consensus from both of us was that it's crap. It couldn't decide what tone it was going for, was overly long and drawn-out, featured editing that was often downright nauseating, Jake Gyllenhaal was so ludicrously unhinged it actually became more annoying than entertaining, and overall it was just surprisingly forgettable. In fact the only thing I can remember with any clarity was the bit where
Spoiler
they spray the ambulance fluorescent green (for some reason), doing a really crap job of it so all the ambulance markings are still very obviously showing through, then drive it right past a huge crowd of cops that fail to notice it.
[close]
Don't get me wrong, the moment was absolutely f**king hilarious... I just don't think it was meant to be.

The Long Kiss Goodnight

One of my picks as Johnny had never watched it. I've seen it a bunch of times but it still managed to be better than I remembered. Some proper vintage Shane Black screenwriting in it. It's not the greatest movie Samuel L. Jackson has ever made, but this is without question my all-time favourite role of his. "I'm always frank and earnest with women - in New York I'm Frank and in Chicago I'm Earnest." And that hat!

(https://bamfstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/tlkgmitch-cl3b-crest.jpg)

Also in 2022 it's kinda nice to see an action film that feels this big whilst still clocking in at under two hours.

Serenity (not the Firefly one)

Another one Johnny insisted I see. WTF?! :laugh: Hurt slightly by my jokingly calling the insane twist in advance, but it's still a wonderful slice of what-the-f**k-were-they-thinking cinema featuring big-name stars giving their all to a project that was obviously off its rocker from the start.

Alien (1979) Laserdisc (ripped to PC) - Rare 70mm print AC-3 audio version released in 1995.

The audio track on this laserdisc has never been released anywhere else and was mastered from an audio mix made for test screenings and doesn't contain all of the final score, music cue errors, sound FX, etc. This audio mix was made for MCA's 'Surrensound' system a competitor to Dolby Stereo.  The audio on this laserdisc was released my mistake.  I've been after a copy of this laserdisc for years now but have been reluctant to spend a lot of money on a laserdisc player.  Someone online was very kind enough to rip it for me as well and synced the audio to the Blu-ray release. Listening to this version with headphones after playing with the sound equalizer on VLC player sounds AMAZING!!!  :o

Some of the dialogue differences I noticed off the top of my head:

When Dallas first enters MU-TH-UR his "Morning mother" line is different.  I don't even think it's Tom Skerrett's voice.

Kane's "Roll 92 degrees port yaw" and "Come on down here. Something different down here" lines are absent.

And Ash's "Kane's son" line is also missing.  It sounds like he says the line very quietly under his breath.

Been in a Chucky mood lately, so I rewatched the original Child's Play (1988). Chucky has always been one of my favorites.

This film still holds up really well! Has a great premise, is well paced, and has some impressive special effects for the time it came out.

Tension is built up extremely well, and when it gets to that reveal, where you see his voice come out of the doll as it starts moving and making facial expressions, it still has a sense of shock and terror to it. The combination of many of the practical effects, with Dourif's voice as the soul of a killer possessing it makes for some great horror moments. Brad Dourif's voice performance is amazing, and a major key to making Chucky as iconic and scary as he is.

My only major gripe with the film is that I feel that the opening scene, showing Charles Lee Ray putting his soul into the Good Guy doll, feels really unnecessary. It seems like my first time (and most of the subsequent times) I watched this, I somehow missed this opening scene altogether. Without that scene, it felt like the film was trying to build a mystery around what's going on with the doll. I knew something bad is going on with it, but I didn't know exactly what. Which helped add to the tension and horror that the film builds. The story felt more compelling as I learned about what happened, and about Chucky, as the characters did. When I finally saw the opening scene many years later, it kinda felt like they let the cat out of the bag in the beginning. Without that scene, you still learn pretty much everything you need to know from it later in the film. And it has more impact because it feels like a development in a unraveling horror mystery. At least in my opinion.

So I truly feel that watching the film without that beginning scene is the best way to watch it. Or at least maybe some kind of alternate cut that adds it in as a flashback later in the film. Maybe at the point where the cop tells Karen about what happened in the toy store.

Anyway, I love this film, and it's still an extremely solid horror/slasher film, and established a horror icon that deserves as much love and respect as his peers.

I've been meaning to rewatch the films I've seen, as well as check out Curse and Cult for the first time, so that I can finally check out the tv series that I've heard so many good things about!

Hi @SiL there are some differences yes.  I can't tell you all of them off the top of my head. A musical cue error I can remember is just before the Nostromo is about to disengage from the refinery. After Dallas's "Give me an AC pressure reading" line there is a very noticeable jump cut in the music score and is clearly not right.  This happens a couple of times during that scene and while on the planet's descent Kane's "Roll 92 degrees port yaw" line missing and Ripley's "Prime to port" line is much quieter.  And I'm sure after the opening credits there are some slight differences in music and sound effects from when we first see the Nostromo.

I listened to Dallas's 'Morning mother" line again.  It is Tom Skerrets voice it's just an alternate take of the line.  The key being removed is missing its sound effect.  I will have to listen with headphones one day and list the differences.

It's after 2:30 AM here so I will rip the audio somehow for you after I've had some sleep...if I can sleep that is...and upload it for you  :) I have a rip of the Laserdisc as well as an MKV file from the blu-ray with the Lasderdisc audio synced to it.  I'll rip the audio from the MKV file as the Laserdisc rip is in two parts due to the film being on two sides.

Wow. Actually pretty good. A few flaws. A little long perhaps, but that's such a novelty for a horror film, and the standard of the film-making was very high, so I couldn't help give it a pass on it.

Odessa A'zion's performance was excellent. She felt like such an ordinary, flawed human being with problems of her own making rather than a super-model-in-a-horror-film.

Actually a fair amount: Terminator: Dark Fate.

The third best Terminator film by a country mile honestly, what they do with the characters of Sarah Connor and the T-101 smashes every other sequel into junk by comparison, being written by the writer of TSCC shows.

People are just incorrect in their assessment sometimes then huh? The restraint of the score and the callbacks means that when they do hit, they hit f**king hard, and what an opening and ending.

This one's directed by a real director though, and had James Cameron's direct involvement, I would rank TSCC's first Season above Dark Fate as some of the best TV I have ever watched but Dark Fate's my preference because it actually ends... unlike TSCC which just stops sadly.

Girl, Interrupted (1999).

I never got around to seeing this theatrical. Not a bad film. Genre wise I thought the novel I Never Promised You a Rose Garden by Joanne Greenberg (writing as Hannah Green) was a better look at mental illness and psychiatric institutions. Still, a well done and interesting film.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Extended Cut

Maybe the extended cut improved this significantly, but I enjoyed it much more than I did when I watched it theatrically, dumb Legolas stuff aside. And Alfrid dies in this cut, that alone brings the score up a full point.  :laugh: There's still noticeably stuff missing, though, probably in that extra ten minutes that New Line/WB dropped without Jackson's input for reasons that aren't clear to me.

Ringu: Rasen aka Spiral was filmed and released at the same time as Ringu 1.  Rasen was the original sequel to Ringu and is known as the forgotten sequel.  The original director and writers decided to come back and film Ringu 2 to replace Spiral.  After watching Spiral I can see why.

I avoided the Terrifier films for a long time under the impression that they were just generic killer clown movies (you know the kind I'm talking about lol).

But my gf and I watched the first and then saw the 2nd in theatres, and I ended up really loving them!

Just really fun and dark slashers, with a lot of brutality and mean-spiritedness in the style of old grindhouse slasher/splatter films. One scene in particular in Terrifier 2 had my jaw dropped by the sheer brutality and cruelness of it. And I consider myself pretty desensitized by gore/violence in horror films.

I know they wont be everyone's cup of tea, but I think they might become favorites of mine.

Art the Clown is really fun to watch, and I love his design and personality. I have a feeling he's going to join the ranks of the big iconic slashers in years to come. A modern horror icon in the making.

I can imagine that during filming a conversation like this took place:

Spoiler
SFX guys: So, how many buckets of fake blood you want in your movie ?

Sam Raimi: YES

Also, what's with all the synth music ?

Very in tune with It Follows though not quite as good in terms of story or soundtrack.
Really enjoyed the cinematography for this movie and thought it was an entertaining horror flick to catch in theaters.
As much as it relies on the jump scare tactic, it still accomplished being unsettling. Of course we were only two rows away from the screen which really amplified those jump scares and tense scenes.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Lazenby isn't half as bad as people like to make out, but it's still a shame that one of the best Bond movies ever made has the weakest 007. The rest of the casting is aces though and Telly Savallas makes for far and away the best Blofeld.

Never Say Never Again

I'll probably get some stick for this, but - even more so than Lazenby - this movie is a hell of a lot better than it's reputation suggests. I'd easily rank it above a few of the Eon films. Connery is clearly having a ball, Brandauer and Carrera are excellent as the villains, the script has some really witty dialogue ("I made you all wet!" "Yes, but my martini's still dry...") and honestly I find the comedy works far more often than it does in the Moore films (a surprisingly flat Rowan Atkinson notwithstanding). Plus it's neat how this has more little touches from the novel than the original movie did, like Bond driving a Bentley or Largo being designated "No. 1" in SPECTRE despite not being the boss. All that said, something goes a bit wrong in the second half and the quality seems to drop off.

(Bonus trivia: The heavy Bond tangles with at the health spa is the same guy who gets minced by the propeller in Raiders of the Lost Ark.)

Not sure what I expected from this. It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Michael Chiklis was decent as Slade, but they seemed to want to make him more of a hero than a villain. It was also badly paced; the movie seemed to drag just when it was leading up to its climax, which was weird.
Animation was good in some parts and bad in others.

A real mixed bag, overall.

That's less a retcon than a brief plot summary. The beginning and end of ED2 gives you the basic details of the preceding and proceeding films but without the full story.

ED1: Ash and his girlfriend Linda (as well as other characters who aren't important to the plot of ED2) go to a cabin in the woods, accidentally release the Deadites, and horror ensues.

AOD: Ash gets sent back in time, defeats the deadites, and gets praised as a saviour.

Pretty accurate to the beginning/ending of ED2 as well as ED1 & AOD, right? Less a retcon than selective details for pacing.

X and We're All Going to the World's Fair

X was pretty decent horror/slasher, although I couldn't help but feel a lil underwhelmed by it.

-

We're All Going to the World's Fair was not what I expected it to be. I was expecting it to be some online horror film, made entirely with computer screens, in the same vein as Unfriended or Searching.
But thankfully it was more than that.

It's a pretty stark look at multi-generations of people who are alone and reaching out for any kind of comfort or interaction in the age of the internet. With some fairly accurate depictions and usage of creepy-pasta and ARG culture as a backdrop.

Definitely wont be everyone's cup of tea. It's a somewhat abstract and slow-burn kind of film, but I was surprised and really enjoyed it.

No Time to Die

First rewatch of this since it came out. My thoughts haven't changed - it's decent, but it's dragged down by some glaring faults. Perhaps the main one is that it really didn't need to be so long. It drags badly in places, especially once we get to the island at the end, and the finale winds up being easily the most disappointing part of the movie. It feels like they tried to make it epic simply by making it long, but for the most part the action in this sequence is actually disappointingly generic. Only the signature Fukunaga one-take charge up the stairwell makes any impression, but unfortunately that trick has really lost it's impact since 1917. The villains aren't up to much either; Malek is wasted as Safin and Waltz continues to be the absolute worst Blofeld (yes, even below Gray in Diamonds Are Forever). I remember at the end of Skyfall I was also absolutely stoked to see Ralph Fiennes take on the role of M, but in his two films he's been curiously disappointing. Likewise Lynch felt incredibly flat as the new 007, which was a shame because I thought the character had potential. Oh, and what the hell was up with that Norway chase scene where Bond just effortlessly brushed aside the baddies' cars like they were nothing? They'd drive up, he'd touch them, and they'd immediately wreck like they weren't even trying. It didn't feel like a battle or a challenge for Bond at all. It was just silly.

So yeah, it's a shame there's so much wrong with it because when it's good it's really quite good. The first half is mostly solid (Ana de Armas was amazing and needed to be in it more) and it's at least a marked improvement on the lifeless SPECTRE, but it's nothing like as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall. I've not seen Quantum of Solace recently enough to see if it pops this for the title of Craig's most middling Bond movie.

That was a bit more of a rant than I intended it to be... Anyway, I hope now that Craig's thrown in the tuxedo we can get back to Bond films being unashamedly fun.

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo and Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.

So I enjoyed this but it also took some effort to keep an open mind because of how much I liked Neon Gensis Evangelion/End of Evangelion and how this was a retelling/alternate ending of that, and now I think of how they should coexist in my head, such as as different timelines, continuities, "cycles" or as 2 separate things entirely, but I certainly can't choose which is "better".

More or less though I interpreted the same conclusion and while I could be wrong I sort of feel like this alternate ending is louder and clearer for the people who didn't get it the first time but it's not neccessarily a criticism as I myself do feel it is a "nicer" ending as opposed to being more open to interpretation which has it's own merits too.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)

Supposedly MGM tried to destroy all copies of the '31 version to avoid any competition, but I suspect they just wanted to hide the fact that they made a lazy, scene-for-scene remake that's horribly watered down, with great actors terribly miscast in their roles. Which is a shame because in specific moments the movie really shines.

+1 for the people re-watching this ahead of the new film. Yes, it's a blatant retread of Pocahontas, but it's still awesome visually, I have all the time in the world for watching Cameron do future military, and Stephen Lang plays one of my favourite movie villains of recent times (although I guess not so recent any more; damn I feel old realising this came out 13 years ago).

I was living in Melbourne at the time and my mate somehow got me a pass to the press/media event with Reynolds and Biel present (downstairs in the Myer Melbourne Basement for locals). Got to say hello to both of them which was nice.

I do really like that film, but it's one of those movies that somehow manages to feel like much less than the sum of its parts. There's so much fantastic stuff in it, but overall it's just a bit of a mess. Like it's cramming in too many characters and subplots for its runtime.

The Penguin's story arc is the worst offender: He comes back to enact his vengeance on all the firstborn sons of Gotham - cool - but then he completely forgets about that for literally half the film while he runs for mayor, then when that falls apart he goes back to kidnapping the sons - a plan that ultimately consists of an old dude driving a road train around town hoping none of the parents or police notice while he slowly trundles from door-to-door stealing babies - only to have that scheme foiled about thirty seconds later (offscreen!) by Batman... and then suddenly he has an army of missile-launching penguins with which he's gonna destroy the whole city. Like, where the f**k did that come from?! And this happens with no preamble in the final ten minutes of the movie.

It's a shame because the cast are all absolutely on-point. Pfeiffer's transformation into Catwoman is one of the most gloriously disturbing sequences I've ever seen in a film.

I think the kidnapping of the sons was a backup plan, and blowing up the city was a secondary backup plan.

Basically, he just wanted to be loved. His plan was to terrorise Gotham and then pretend that he's its saviour, thus gaining the love and respect that his parents never gave him.

When that went south, his backup plan was taking the firstborns, which he did at a time when he knew most of the socialite parents would be out, (correctly) presuming they would care more about their status (the party) than their children. Just like his own parents.

The blowing up the city part is just a last ditch attempt at ruining things for everyone.

I don't think they're all separate things that he thought of, it feels to me like that was all part of his plan from the start. He even says at the beginning that he has patience. I figured they were all just redundancies.

And all failed because of BatKeaton.


Last film I actually watched was Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
Decent movie, pretty funny and clever, if a little heavy handed with its message. My mate said it was the best movie ever, and I don't think it's that good, but it's pretty decent.

Quote from: Stitch on Dec 15, 2022, 02:59:56 PMI think the kidnapping of the sons was a backup plan, and blowing up the city was a secondary backup plan.

Killing Gotham's firstborns is definitely his initial master plan, because the first thing he does upon "coming out" to the city is go to the hall of records and - under the guise of tracking down his parents - goes through the birth records and makes note of all the city's firstborn sons. Batman immediately smells something fishy (no pun intended) because he's keeping tabs on him and clearly doesn't believe he's sincerely looking for his parents.

But then when Shreck suggests Penguin take a run at mayor, and suddenly all that gets forgotten about for the bulk of the movie. Which would've been fine if the jump back to killing the children wasn't so badly rushed in the final ten minutes of the film.

"It's gonna need a paint job and a shit load of screen doors." Rickman's reading of Yippe-ki-yay Motherf**ker is the best in the series. :laugh:


The Muppet Christmas Carol

Having finally seen the deleted song, I kind of feel like it's been overhyped. I kind of sympathized with Young Scrooge quietly leaving before the song is even done. :laugh:


Troy - Theatrical Cut

Still pretty good, but the shorter version of the sacking of Troy doesn't hit the same.

Had a relaxing NYD of watching films. Some better than others.

Exorcism at 60,000 Feet is pretty trash. Some good comedy but surrounded by crap.

The Sinners is OK. Decent horror mystery, though it does have a completely pointless subplot brought in near the end.

Impetigore we're watching right now, and it's already the best of the three.  Indonesian horror done really well. Highly recommend it.

While I disagree with the scores,  I agree with the sentiment. Watched Glass Onion earlier and thought it a step down from Knives Out. Still a good film, but I felt the first act was too long, and as a whole it was more uneven than the first.

Police Story 4: First Strike

Or just Jackie Chan's First Strike. But it doesn't really matter in this case because it's barely a Police Story movie. Better than I'd remembered, but probably the weakest of the original four.

I've been rewatching Netflix's Lost in Space to finish off Season 3. I barely remembered Season 2 at all, but I'd really enjoyed Season 1 and ended up enjoying Season 2 on the rewatch. But it put me in the mood to rewatch the 90s Lost in Space. I remembered seeing it in the cinema, and I remember the Stargate music in the trailer.

There's some fun to be had in it. I really do love Gary Oldman as Dr Smith. You can tell he was having a great time on this film. And Jared Harris as the older Will Robinson was a surprise to me. I was kinda expecting Bill Mumy (turns out he wanted that role, but the studio didn't want it) but I was really pleased to see him in this. Also love Joey's space armor - that was very Stargate.

But ho boy, those effects. They did not age well at all. It looks terrible! lol

I enjoyed the Netflix show quite a bit, and even though it was only 3 seasons it was a decent and contained story. Anyway, I am of the idea that a proper remake should keep that 50s American family vibe and aesthetics of the original show, ala WandaVision😅👉👈

The last time I saw the movie was 100 years ago. The CGI must be worse than the Phantom Menace🤭

Speaking of Stargate, hopefully someone does something...soon! :o

But in all seriousness, I've been craving Stargate for the past few days. Time to revisit the movie and SG1 8) 👉👈

Edit - I still liked Atlantis anyway. ;D

mini-rant just cause I love this movie:

It's most likely nostalgia bias, but I've always loved the 90's Lost in Space film! I have a lot of fond memories of watching it as a kid, as well as having some cool toys from the film. Including a toy of the Jupiter 2 (honestly one of my favorite ship designs) and a pretty badass toy of the gun that Joey uses to fight the spiders, that starts as a pistol but turns into a rifle with attachable parts.

There's a lot of fun aspects of the film that I really enjoy. Especially the sequence with all the spiders (I've always been partial to giant spiders in movies for some reason). The stuff with Smith and the time dilation bubble was pretty interesting too. A lot of the cg effects look really dated undeniably, but a lot of the practical effects and production design I still find really cool.

Granted I haven't seen it in a few years, but I remember it very fondly.
Definitely not a perfect movie by any means, but I've always found it cool and fun, and I don't think it quite deserves the flack it gets sometimes.

That remix of the theme song that plays in the credits goes pretty hard too lol

Moral of the story...no matter how snob you are, tasting experimentation will never be at the level of a dish that evokes sensations taken directly from our experiences, our memories. And while this is something that even Ratatouille's Anton Ego ended up understanding, most of the characters in this film live in a bubble that has them stunned. And they clearly deserve to pay for it! >:( 👉👈

Drunken Master II

I thought I was getting the Legend of Drunken Master release, but interestingly enough, Prime instead has the original cut to rent with a different dub over it. And having now seen the original ending, yikes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually agree with the Weinsteins on that particular cut. :laugh: And it's not helped by the fact the audio of the ending was missing, which is apparently a problem with the new remaster as whole.

Eight Legged Freaks

Brought my tablet to the gym and watched an old favorite on the treadmill.

As someone who's always been really into giant spiders in movies and fiction since I was a kid, this has always been one of my favorites.

Not the greatest movie ever made, but I think it's a really solid and fun horror comedy. It's like a cosmic gumbo of films like Gremlins, Arachnaphobia, and the classic creature features of the 50s like Them! and Tarantula.

I love it and watch it probably once or twice a year.

Skinamarink - 2022

Ok I get what the director was going for with this analog horror-like found footage film, but lately it doesn't work for me...and with everything and some cheap (and somewhat annoying) jump scares, it's just a boring extension of this short film made by the same director :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVQzEzW4faA

Actually not even said director was very clear about the concept, which was his debut...🤔

Anyway it's quite atmospheric and it's clearly inspired by modern horror tropes such as creepypastas or liminal space (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liminal_space_(aesthetic)).


Do Revenge - 2022

It was a fun movie. As if someone took the premise of Alfred Hitchko's 'Strangers on a Train' to tell a story about two teenage girls struggling to survive in Bully-land, forging an alliance which takes a very unexpected twist, and as cliché this may sounds it worked for me. Sometimes I just need a good 'coming to age' dramedy to be happy. 😅👉👈

I feel like the overall story of 2 and 3 is really good, but the execution is iffy. If you took the best bits of both and condensed it down into one 2.5 or maybe 3 hour movie, you'd have a kick ass sequel. The ending is still massively unsatisfying to me, though. Thankfully Resurrections addressed some of the issues I have.

Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation

I could've sworn I'd seen this because I remember the bit where Tom Cruise is swimming around in the giant underground donut, but apparently I must've turned it off after that because I didn't recall any of the rest of the movie. I dunno what it is about these recent Mission: Impossible movies because on paper I should love everything about them, but for some reason they just don't grab me. I felt exactly the same about both Ghost Protocol and Fallout when I saw them.

Mad Max

Watching Fury Road the other week made me want to revisit the originals. This one... honestly hasn't aged very well. There's some superb scenes and ideas in it, but overall it feels really uneven and you can tell it was made for about 50 bucks (Australian). Max's vengeance ride once he's gone Mad is awesome (especially the final scene of him dispatching Johnny the Boy - perhaps one of the most iconic, inventive and downright malicious villain dispatches in film history?) but getting there sometimes feels like a slog and then you're into the final few minutes of the movie. Flashes of greatness but not a patch on the sequel.

Mad Max 2

Not much to say, really, except it's one of the two or three best action movies ever made in my eyes. Takes everything that was good about the first, bins off the rest and then dials it all up to 11. There's no fat on it whatsoever - it's just a pure, visceral thrill ride from start to finish. Plus it's had Blade Runner-levels of influence on media since, not least of all the way it set the template for post-apocalyptic style (bondage gear, mostly).

As many times as I've seen this, I never noticed the nudie pinups all over the Gyro Captain's autogyro before :laugh:

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Since I started rewatching these, I've been wondering whether I like the first or the third the least. Having now seen them all, I can comfortably say this is my least favourite. But what actually annoys me the most about it is that some of it is in fact so damn good - the world-building's probably the best of the series and everything Tina Turner is fantastic - but it just falls of a cliff at the midway point and never recovers. Plus it lacks that quirky Australian feel that made the other three so unique, replaced by an inescapable sense of having been Hollywood-ised. Even Mel Gibson doesn't really feel like the same character as in the first two.

Oh yeah, this one also has perhaps my favourite post-apocalyptic car designs in the franchise (more unhinged and cobbled-together than Mad Max 2, but less fanciful and over-the-top than Fury Road), which makes it all the more depressing that when they're finally unleashed in the final chase the whole sequence feels so lame and tacked-on. Just a huge disappointment and wasted opportunity.

Decided that I wanted to go see the new one that's coming out, so I figured I'd better finally check out the sequels.

Surprisingly been really enjoying them! Just solid slasher who-done-its with meta commentary on the horror and film industry. Don't think any of them are below a 8 out of 10 for me so far!

Second time watching this since the theater. In the dark and comfort of my home no less! I love this movie. Everything about it just clicks for me. Matt Reeves takes his time to set up each shot, and each shot looks beautiful. His Gotham is a rainy, trash laden dystopia. And I dig it. Nolan's movies, with the exception of Batman Begins just don't do it for me. But to each their own. Does Bruce really need to live in a giant gothic tower overlooking Gotham in Matt Reeves' film? No, he doesn't but again, I dig it. And I could watch those close up shots of Batman's boots walking through the rain all day. Hopefully Matt Reeves can continue to deliver with The Batman - Part II.

The Witch: Part 1, Subversion

Korean sci-fi horror. Not a bad film. Shame Amazon's subtitles got more and more out of sync as the film went on.

Edit to add:

The Witch: Part 2, The Other One

What a great subtitle, eh? This was like a bigger, flashier, more action oriented version of the first. If the first was Carrie, the second was X-Men, or even Night Watch. Kinda batshit, but entertaining. Shame about the out of sync subs, though.

Glorius on Shudder.

Good film. Though any film with J K Simmons is is likely to be good.

Caveat, also on Shudder.

Interesting British horror. More suspense than actual horror, and probably could've done with a bit more of a trim in the editing suite.

Fair, but I was really turned off by how Roth was just an evil Hulk when we'd literally just had an Iron Man film where the baddie was an evil Iron Man.

And Nick Nolte, mishandled as he is, is still more interesting as a baddie ;)

Glad you liked it too! Did you catch the brief but groovy clip of Bruce after the credits?

I agree with that sentiment about it being better than Don't Breathe. I had no idea he will be involved in the next Alien movie though! I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Credit where credit is due, that one guy slipping on a piece of his girlfriend's cheek and smacking his head into the toilet was pretty damn great.

I do like that they kind of used the guise of the standard late 2000s/early 2010s horror remake like a sort of Trojan Horse to get a lot of stuff like that into the film. I'd say that Fede's Evil Dead is probably my favorite horror remake of that era.

I also wasn't super hot on Don't Breathe (which I gave a go on the basis of how much I liked Evil Dead), though I haven't seen it since its theatrical run and I've been considering giving it another go as a refresher at some point before Romulus is out.

I'm not sure how much this is true but I've heard many times over the years that James Cameron broke into the editing studio and made his own edit of Piranha 2, known as the directors cut, before being caught and escorted away.  I used to have a laserdisc rip of this version of the film.

I don't think he was fired, but he didn't get any say over the final cut.

Hence why he attempted to edit his own cut on the QT. What I didn't know until yesterday was he apparently actually finished his director's cut and it did get released on home video in some places.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Haven't seen a lot of Studio Ghibli movies, but always heard good things about this one, and my gf was in the mood for something anime related so we threw this on. Really enjoyed it!

A sci-fi/fantasy epic with beautiful art and animation, giant feeling action & world-building, and some strong environmental themes. Feels like Studio Ghibli's Dune in a lot of ways, which I'd bet was a big influence.

Kamen Rider vs. Shocker (1972)

Working my way through the original Kamen Rider series. The watch order list I've been referencing put this movie at about the halfway mark of the series.

Huge leap in quality in cinematography and production, and a action packed story of the 2 riders fighting shocker goons and kaijin for pretty much the entire 30 minute runtime. Seemingly every kaijin villain that's appeared in the series so far makes an appearance, which was cool to see! A really fun movie to break up the series a bit!

John Wick: Chapter 4 - 10/10

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/b7/65/TflHToN1_t.png) (https://imgbox.com/TflHToN1)

Going into this, I had fairly high expectations, based on what I had heard from friends and also from the general opinion about this movie. Those expectations were certainly met, with this being a thrilling and gripping action ride from start to finish. Keanu Reeves once again returns as John Wick and is pretty much doing exactly what you would be expecting of him in the role at this point. Among the newcomers, we have the amazing Rina Sawayama as Akira, concierge of the Osaka Continental. Rina is not someone I have been familiar with before this movie came out, but she does an amazing job here and Akira is such a brutal and fluid fighter and it's an absolute joy to see her take up arms along side Wick. Hiroyuki Sanada is always fantastic in everything he does and so is Donnie Yen. Bill Skarsgård manages to be quite sleezy and also threatening as Marquis Vincent de Gramont and is a good villain. The action sequences are AMAZING. The entire Osaka part is my favorite of the movie, but coming in at a close second is the Hotline Miami stuff with John clearing room after room with a Dragon Breath shotgun, which was just so much fun to watch. The stair case fight must also be mentioned as a stand out part of the movie. A very enjoyable action film, lots of heart and character to it and AMAZING fights. I'm very glad I saw this on the big screen.

My initial score for this was 8.5/10, but I think it deserves a higher score just for how much amazing work they put into this.

Hellraiser - 8/10

(https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/03/f1/sX14T4e4_t.jpg) (https://imgbox.com/sX14T4e4)

I have only seen the original movie once, so I don't have a whole lot to compare to. But this was pretty good, and the second half of the movie even went from pretty good to really good. Odessa A'zion grew on me as Riley, the recovering drug addict who comes into possession of the Lament Configuration, (a.k.a. the Hellraiser Cube) and who summons demons (or angels) known as Cenobites to haunt and torment her and her friends. Adam Faison as Colin is also quite likeable and Drew Starkey does what his character does pretty well. The Cenobites are really well made and the whole creature design and set design is just on an overall fantastic level, with the second half of the movie taking place in a very interesting mansion. Jamie Clayton plays The Priest/Pinhead and does really well in the role and had some big shoes to fill after Doug Bradley iconic take on the role. But I think she managed to do a great job here and really made the character fit THIS movie very well and make it feel like its own thing while also sticking to what Hellraiser is supposed to be. Or at least what I think it's supposed to be, as I'm by no means an expert on the franchise.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie - 8.5/10

To Live and Die in L.A.

I love how the first two thirds of this are a fairly standard (if very stylish) crime thriller but then in the last act it just keeps hitting you with a succession of plot twists and it just spirals out of control. Great movie. Also William Petersen's amazing in it. Between this and Manhunter I'll never understand why he wasn't a bigger star in the 80s.

Honestly by the sounds of it he didn't want to be. Especially after Manhunter and the headspace he went into for the film.

My mentioning this the other day put me in the mood to watch it.

I've seen it multiple times, but the moment Graham realises the Toothfairy's been watching the families' home videos still manages to send a genuine shiver down my spine. I can't think of many other movies that do that.

65 - I thought this was a family movie. My 8 year old had to abort as it was a bit too scary at times. Fun enough film but instead of being more B Movie/Campy it tried to get a bit too serious at times and fell flat.

Adam Driver should do more action films though. He's got great onscreen presence and not in the usual action hero style.

Haven't seen this one since the late 80s but I do remember the tone of this was far more sinister with very little humour or camp that the sequel(s) bought to the mix. That forest rape scene was notoriously shocking back then.

During the video nasties era here in the UK Sam Rami was sued under the video obscenities act and was brought to court here in Leeds.  He won the case but it still affected Sam so when Evil Dead II was made he made it humourous with green demon blood, etc.  I'm going off memory here so I might have some details wrong on that. I do know for years the early UK releases of The Evil Dead were cut to ribbons then years later the BBFC finally released the film fully uncut.

The Pope's Exorcist is a weird film. It's somewhere between terrible and brilliant, and it has Russell Crowe with a fake Italian accent for the whole thing, riding a scooter whilst wearing red sunglasses. It's kinda like what if an exorcist movie was also a superhero movie, and maybe an Indiana Jones movie, but also not totally a good movie.

Yeah, it's probably the most bizarrely BBFC-nuked action flick I can think of, because a lot of the cuts aren't especially violent - they took out the two guys getting bloodlessly blown through the warehouse windows but left the grisly scene where Arnie pulls his impaled hand off the nail intact?! I always remember wincing at that and thinking it was one of the most uncomfortable bits of violence I'd seen in a film. And it's not like the bulk of the censorship has anything to do with their perennial pet hates like headbutts, nunchucks or knives.

Back before the internet was a thing I was always really confused by not seeing the baddies' deaths in particular, because I must've caught the film on TV at some point and remembered seeing the limo getting smashed.

But anyway, f**k them - as soon as the world wide web became a thing I bought an uncut Australian DVD :D

Come to think of it, I'm not sure it's actually had an uncut release in the UK... I don't think it's reached Blu-ray here yet.

Yes, it adds a lot to the very beginning, showing more of Frank's relationship with his partner and more of what led to his family dying. And the ending is slightly different, and Frank's narration isn't present. There's also more gore/violence but that's all in the unrated cut as well.

Oh and I almost forgot, the workprint uses music from Aliens as a temp track. :laugh:

Waterworld

While there's no denying this movie always leaves me feeling like it's nowhere near as good as it could/should have been, in today's age of ubiquitous CGI-fests the sheer scale of practical moviemaking on display here is simply staggering to behold. Even many of the more rudimentary scenes are impressive, but the atoll attack sequence in particular is just mental.

I mean, sure, there's a ton of stuff in this that makes absolutely no sense (why the f**k would dirt be the world's most valuable currency?) but you can't say it's not memorable.

(I watched this on my recently acquired Arrow Blu-ray, so at some point in the not too distant future I plan on checking out the extended cut, which I've never seen.)

IMHO nothing and I mean nothing comes close to the incredible spectacle and emotion of the Ride of the Rohirrim scene in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Incredibly epic.

Hellraiser (2022) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellraiser_(2022_film)) AD Version

I watched this last year when it came out, and I remembered enjoying it. I was interested in re-visiting it to see if it held up. It certainly is one of the best films under that banner, and is thematically coherant and has some nice writing in it. That said, it doesn't quite capture what Hellraiser is (although, to be fair, I'd argue that none of the films ever really did; there's some sort of unattainable platonic ideal).

The AD narrator unfortuntately sounded like a 1990s trailer, deep voice, over-ernest and over-dramatic. Not quite a mood-kill, but didn't really feel the right tone for it. It highlights in AD exactly how crucial the right narrator is.

Picked up the Blu-ray box set the other day. Picture quality is fantastic. Audio is a pain in the arse.

Talk to Me

With all the hype and the 95% on rotten tomatoes, I was expecting more. It's a standard horror plot about teenagers messing with something supernatural at a party, and the main character's mom has recently died.

There are a couple of really shocking bits, and it's competently shot, but on the whole it was flat, not scary, and left me underwhelmed.

6/10.

Jenny left me alone on my day off yesterday so I binged some more movies I'd not seen on Netflix.

Heart of Stone

Nothing special, but entertaining enough I guess. Not sure Gal Gadot was terribly convincing in the lead role. It also felt like obvious set-up for a franchise that probably won't happen.

6 Underground

The action scenes in this were surprisingly awesome, especially the insane opening car chase and the magnet battle on the boat. Sadly everything in between them was a total mess. Again, obvious set-up for a franchise that's already been cancelled.

F9

After the last few, I only watched this because it was a chance to satisfy my morbid curiosity for free. Colour me surprised, I actually ended up enjoying it more than any of its immediate predecessors. I'm not even sure why, because a lot of it was objectively crap. Maybe it's just because Justin Lin was back in the director's chair.

Whilst the Trinity test is the centrepiece of this film, I must admit the third act around the charges brought against Oppenheimers by Strauss was even more compelling and in true Nolan fashion jumping between timelines and events crescendoing in an absolutely dagger through the heart revelation from the man himself.

Excellent sequel.

Need to rewatch this as I wasn't the biggest fan when I saw it. Not because it wasn't a good film but it didn't feel like a Mignola/Hellboy film in tone rather more a GDT fantasy film. In hindsight and having read a LOT more of Hellboy I think my thinking was perhaps a bit off.

Yeah, Mignola eventually covers the elves/fair folk fading, but in a very different fashion.

Interesting film. Not at all what I was expecting. Though it's ostensibly a Spanish language horror based on Catholicism, it's actually more a study of the human condition and how religion affects it.

Interesting Indian horror that's kinda weird and relates to mythology. Has a really cool musical theme that starts up partway through and continues evolving until the end.

A fitting farewell however the tone of this one seemed to not gel with me as much. Some of the humour was very forced and perhaps too much. That said it was also quite dark in tone at times too.

But a nice way to round out this trilogy and a fitting farewell for our guardians.

Lights Out - 2016

Unlike Skinamarink, this was an improvement of the short on which it was based. There are also some effective jump scares.


Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin - 2021

A standalone sequel, both in terms of plot and thematically, as it is a Blair Witch-like folk horror story. Somewhat boring, but with a genuinely creepy and intense third act. :o

You've touched on why I think I typically dislike westerns - they're often this romanticised vision of the Wild West that I just can't be getting on with. Unforgiven, on the other hand, shows it how it probably was - awful, hard, unforgiving and full of violent arseholes. As a film it basically turns all the usual clichéd tropes on their head.

Transformers - Rise of the Beasts - After the nice surprise pseudo reboot of Bumblebee I was expecting a bit more from this one. It was a nice nostalgia trip back to the 90s era Transformers but it felt way too cheesy/corny, forced and rather limp at times. And for all the (major) flaws of Bay-era Transformers one thing he always brought in those films was sheer scale, frenetic pace and gravitas. ROTB felt rather piss weak on those scales IMO. My 8 year old enjoyed it though.

Fair Play - Young Han Solo loses the plot with Bridgerton chic. Skip this.

Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 - Another phenomenal instalment in this excellent series. Cruise is THE biggest Hollywood star on the planet bar none and he delivers again. Fantastic and frenetic pacing, action and also some great humour and chemistry between this talented cast. Bring on Part 2.

Skinamarink - I admire the attempt at something different in this analog horror but I felt it probably was 30-40 mins too long. Genuinely creepy at times but the art direction just gets annoying after a while.

Predator (1987) AD version.

Not super impressed. It doesn't mention that Mac and Dillon are black dudes, that Billy is a Native American.

Blaine is described as carrying a "heavy machine gun" which is actually a mini-gun, a  6 barrel rotary machine gun which is a way more dramatic visual.

The TTS is jarring when it mis-emphasises or strangely pronounces a word.

Bit of a shame. Still, it's a great movie.

Couldn't figure out if Splinter was Jewish New Yorker or just Jackie Chan.

Instantly recognised the sound of (& pleasantly surprised) Reznor & Ross on the Soundtrack. Very cool. Absolutely laughed my head off when I heard the classic `He Man What's Up' song meme played though.

I was also in a love/hate relationship with that animation style.
That said, I was entertained by the end of it - great third act and Ice Cube stole the show as Super-fly

Only need two more of the Grindhouse trailers to be turned into films to complete the set. Some fantastic gory kills, while others were oddly bloodless or over too quickly. And that opening. Holy Crap

A fun film and surprisingly the English Dub is surprisingly faithful to the original, though i do prefer the original as it allows the story to breathe more and makes a couple of reasons for things happening clearer

A disappointing finish to McTiernan's filmography. It started off mid tier at best but the third act was so stupid it killed what little good will I had left. Shyamalan would love it, though.  :laugh:

Godzilla - King of Monsters.  Didn't care for the first one, but this one was pretty fun.  Silly but fun. Apart from some of the VFX towards the end.  Looked a bit dodgy in contrast to the rest of the film.

Yeah, the things he tweaked in that were bizarrely minor.

On the subject of Mann altering his movies, just yesterday I picked up a couple of new Blu-rays featuring his director's cuts, namely Miami Vice, the DC of which never previously got a release here in the UK, plus Arrow's edition of Blackhat, which includes the reworked director's cut for the first time anywhere outside of the one-off screening where it premiered; while it's a long way from his best movie, I'm looking forward to digging into that one.

I need to revisit Miami Vice. First time I saw it I was so expecting peak 80s Crockett/Tubbs vibes and was very underwhelmed. We got a far more focused, dirty and stylised update and one perhaps I unfairly judged at the time. I've been meaning to watch it again to give it a proper assessment (and not be so biased by the TV show).

You should. I love the show, and like you I really didn't rate the film the first time I saw it. But I gave it another go on TV years later and found I enjoyed it a lot, and now I seem to like it more every time I watch it.

I definitely prefer the director's cut. It doesn't alter a huge amount but interestingly it adds a few more overt references to the show.

Yep. At least four different cuts of that that I'm aware of - the original theatrical, the director's cut (with a bunch of additions seemingly sourced from VHS!), the Anchor Bay DVD version and a fourth one that I've only ever seen talked about which includes an extra scene with Dr. Chilton.

Second place goes to The Last of the Mohicans with three cuts - theatrical, director's cut and the recent definitive edition, which mostly reverts the changes from the previous director's cut.

Thief, Heat, Ali, Miami Vice and now Blackhat all have an alternative cut apiece with varying degrees of alteration.

To say he's a perfectionist would apparently be an understatement :laugh:

EDIT: Actually I just remembered Blackhat also technically has three cuts because the US theatrical release included some dialogue that was edited out of the international version. Ffs :laugh:

Mohicans is weird in that I've never seen the initial director's cut, I just know fans hate the f**k out of it because it took some things out. I legit had no idea people were that keen on the Clannad song until I was reading up on that. :laugh:

I was just reading last night that he made a third cut of Ali not long after Ali died, that even goes so far as to cut out a fight.

The Thief alternate cut is hilarious because all he does is try to speed up the slow mo at the end, which looks ridiculous. Thankfully that was reverted for the Criterion release.

All these alternate cuts and nothing for The Keep, which needs it the most.

I've seen it once and I remember it adding one really kickass scene during the battle at the fort, but you're right in that pretty much everything it removes makes the film objectively worse (especially that song ;D)

Then he does his definitive edition, adds most of the deletions back in but also takes the good battle sequence back out :laugh:

Even the book's ending is pretty ridiculous, it goes full sword and sorcery in the last two chapters after most of it was gothic horror. And from what I've read the original ending had to be reshot because the effects guy died and nobody else knew how to finish it.  :o

It's no picnic in the US, either. Tye distribution rights were all over the place in the DVD era, and a few of them were out of print for ages. Hell, I'm pretty sure Return of Godzilla and vs Biollante are right back into out of print hell after a brief window where they were available on Blu-Ray.

I know 85 has sticky rights issues because of something to do with whoever owns the US cut, but it's been so long since I've looked into it that I no longer remember the specifics. Raids Again at least got a solid DVD release from Classic Media in the 2000s over here, and a Criterion Blu-Ray now. I don't know what the deal with Biollante is, but it might have something to do with HBO having the distributions rights at first.

The montage near the beginning is the best part, and frankly, would have made for a better movie. Way too much of this is just dry technical exposition and overwrought philosophizing.


Godzilla 2: City on the Edge of Battle

Better, but still not particularly good. They seem to love teasing actual Godzilla things but not delivering on them. Hell, the wall painting of Mothra doesn't even look anything like her, and we don't even get a good look at the original Mechagodzilla's remains.

Quote from: Ingwar on Dec 20, 2023, 10:30:59 PMDecision to Leave (2022) by Park Chan-wook. If you're interested in watching immature detective trying to solve crime case then give it a go. I wasn't impressed. Utterly overrated imo.

Thirteen Lives (2022) by Ron Howard. Great survival film. Viggo Mortensen, Joel Edgerton and Colin Farrell. Strongly recommend.


Earlier this year my mate & I had the pleasure of sitting next to Dr. Richard Harris' wife on a flight between Adelaide & Melbourne. She shared some amazing insight in regards to that whole rescue from her and her husband's perspective.

I really like that up until about the halfway point, then it goes completely off the rails for me.

Yeah, you can tell Sommers was scrambling to get a plot together for that one.


Under the Silver Lake

Well that was... odd. Can't say I didn't enjoy it, though.

Yes, Under the Silver Lake is a strange film. It's kind of a stoner detective comedy like The Big Lebowski but also like a David Lynch nightmare mystery (Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive).

I like weird mysteries.

Wonka
Outstanding film. Was a pleasant surprise this film is. Tim Chamalet is a fantastic lead and just oozes that right about of charm, wit, big eyed wonder and part-psychopath to do the role of Wonka justice. Great songs. A lot of heart and some great laughs too. The supporting cast are great too. Fantastic seeing Bob Fossil (from Mighty Boosh) in this.

STTMP is Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Whoops. I read that as SWTPM (The Phantom Menace). Old age. Late nights. No, she hasn't seen that one (would be too slow for her). One day though she will be ready.

"Purple Noon"

GREAT French film starring Alain Delon, it based off the book "The Talented Mr. Ripley" if you want to watch it it's on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, it is $3.99 though so if your ok with pirating it I would highly recommend watching it.

Anatomy of a Fall

Very involving and well made courtroom drama.


The Color Purple (2023)

It has its moments for sure, but I feel like it may have worked better on the stage. And the subject matter feels like an odd fit for a musical.

You really have to suspend your disbelief with this one. American speaking humanoids coming to Earth 65 million years ago. A massive ton of dino's which don't exist on the fossil record. Dino's viciously attacking inanimate spaceships. Not to mention the mass extinction was actually meant to take place a million years prior than it did in this one, 66M years ago. Otherwise it's a solid film.  :laugh: The film didn't offer many surprises so it was all a bit predictable.

A rewatch in anticipation for this weekend's date movie night with my wife, to see the sequel. Something about Aussie movies made in regional towns that just always gets me. The grittiness, the imperfections, the quiet and understated dialogue - the bare bones of it all - as bare as some of the landscapes. Whilst The Dry wasn't a stellar film, it was still enjoyable. Eric Bana is so underrated.

Backtrack - Virtually unheard-of Australian flick with Adrien Brody doing a flawless Australian accent, Sam Neill and Bruce Spence. It doesn't know if it wants to be a psychological thriller or ghost story.  Only watched it because one of my staff spent a day on the set as an extra bumping into Brody when she was at high school (and isn't visible in the final film). Not a great film, but not too bad for all that.  Locals can catch the difference between the stuff shot in Melbourne and stuff shot in Sydney (which is also meant to be Melbourne).

Awesome horror movie, it's like the son between Evil Dead (even the poster it's very Evil Dead 2013-like) and The Exorcist but set in Argentina. I loved the tone of the film and it's one of the more pessimist movies I ever see. It's an horror film that relies more on impactful scenes than scares you, and this thr movie achieved it very well. I recommend this film to everyone who enjoys this kind of film, but it isn't a movie for everyone. I give it 8,5/10

Drive-Away Dolls (2024)

Thought this was quite a bit of fun, very sweet and charming.

I've seen people compare Margaret Qualley's performance to Nicolas Cage in this, and I'd be inclined to agree (Raising Arizona Cage, specifically, is what I got from what she was doing here).

However, the supporting cast and slasher set pieces were fun.

I've never had the chance to see any of the original Alien or Predator movies in theaters, especially during their initial releases. Experiencing the original theatrical atmosphere from that time has always been a dream of mine. This opportunity, along with the audio, feels like the closest I'll come to that experience. Now, all I need is a projector.

I briefly noticed two very minor differences i noticed while watching: the absence of the targeting laser and the text at the bottom of the Predator's point of view.  Nothing mega I know.

I think I noticed some updated special effects in Predator 2 the other day specifically when the Predator ship takes off at the end, I recall seeing like a grid of light behind Harrigan as it flys away in the Blu-ray version, but in the 4K Blu-ray it is more blown out and actually looks like a spaceship flying away.

It was good - for a fan film.  Very high production values right up to the point they meet the Aliens, at which points it drops off a bit.  It seemed like they didn't quite know the right way to shoot them, despite have some pretty sweet costumes.

Then they shot themselves in the foot in the end titles - I REALLY want to see an Alien movie done as a silent news reel.

Or edit them. Just a weirdly long montage of an inexplicable number of Aliens grabbing people.

I feel like they didn't shoot what they needed to to get the Aliens out of the tunnel.

But some neat performances and good production value. I wonder if I can find some of those Alien cosplayers...

Woah. That was a monumental cinematic experience. Still processing it all but visually it's on such a grand scale that it leaves pretty much most things I've seen for dead. It really does make the first film seem small by comparison. I don't get the Empire Strikes Back comparisons (I mean I do but that is an odd comparison). This personally feels more like a Ben Hur or Lawrence of Arabia epic.

It's quite astounding how a studio and franchise can so consistently drop the ball.  There was some fun bits but it so uneven and often repetitive.

The 35mm print of Aliens I own boasts beautiful colours. Next on my list is acquiring a scan of the Alien 3 35mm print. With the right headphones, the audio on both Alien and Aliens prints is exceptional. Considering investing in a projector to transform my bedroom into a personal cinema. ;D

Alien Resurrection Director's Cut.
I think the opening scene should have been the classic music, the guards, door opens, and the tank with Ripley 8 and her quote of Newt, "My Mommy always told me there are no monsters, no real ones, but there are."
A great way to open the film.

Alien 3 (1992) 35mm print scan

I'm uncertain about the color correction on this print. I've acquired 35mm print scans of all three films. Now, all that's left is to find a projector, and I'll be able to recreate a cinematic experience at home.

My apologies for the misunderstanding! Essentially, there's no difference—it's the same in any other release of the film that I noticed but I will check it again when I get chance.

Slumdog Millionaire.

Had to see what the fuss was about after seeing it had won so many Oscars. What a fantastic movie. I thought it was okay on my first viewing but did another two listening to the commentaries. Definitely like it a lot more and noticed new stuff on repeated viewings.

Still only saw it the one time in theaters a couple months back, but it's been so completely embedded in my head since then. I know some day I'm going to, but right now I'm kind of dreading a rewatch just because of how much it shook me up in the moment.

It's absolutely incredible. Just... stuck with me in a way where I know it's always going to be living in my head but it won't be the easiest movie to rewatch. When I do eventually circle back around to it I know I'm just going to be totally floored again.

Can't wait for 2034 or so when Glazer eventually has another movie out!

I want to see Zone again largely because the theater I saw it at had all the seats on one level, so my normal choice of a middle row seat left me moving my head up and down constantly trying to catch the subtitles.  :laugh:

Revisited Rob Zombie's Halloween II (Director's Cut) last night.
Didn't like this way back when it came out, but now that I'm older and my tastes have changed, I really appreciate and respect the hell out of it. Underrated imo.

Prometheus

Such a beautiful-looking film - flawed but with a very grand & interesting premise and whilst I enjoy Covenant, that sequel's stakes took a dip in grandiose scale.

One thing I did notice and I don't think it was intentional was some lines or situations that sounded familiar.

Holloway's enthusiasm in the Transport Rover had a slight hint of Hudson's bravado aboard the APC.

The `We are leaving' line from Holloway to David reminded me of Hick's from Aliens when they're retreating from the Hive.

Of course it's probably just me putting 2 & 2 together and getting 5.
