last film i watched in the cinema.

Stardust.

it was pretty cool. script was a little dodgey in places but deniro playing a gay pirate makes up for it.

I found it to be a soulless ripoff of Lock Stock...



well ok, i just watched lock stock again and you're partially right. i think you're underrating layer cake tho. it's definately better than mean machine. i'll even go as far as saying better than snatch.

I seen a load recently...

Superbad - Very Funny

Knocked Up - Pretty funny, but too long

Halloween 2007 - Festering pile of shit. Rob Zombie is a talentless shit.

Death Proof - Bizarre, bizarre film. Loved the '70s cult style, but the dialogue scenes went on and fucking on. Could have chopped alot of the talking out. Its not even that it was too much talking, it was just boring talking.

I got around to the "Aristocrats" over the weekend...odly enough my fave version was the "cleanest" version......but last night I watched "Black Book" it was really bloody good....joins my top 10 WWII themed films of all time,this one set against German occupation of the Netherlands.....yes from the same director who gave you Robocop,Showgirls and Starship Troopers...well....o.k this one is brilliant.....:D

It's a good movie, but I don't think it's as great as a lot of the reviews think it is. It's worth matinee money.

It was kind of... better and worse than I thought it would be. I wasn't really interested in the subject before I saw it, but the story is all
right and there was a surprise here and there, either in the plot or the way something was handled. I don't want to spoil anything.

Let us know what you thought when you've seen it.

Yeti
10-03-2007, 08:45 AM
I heard it is violent and----a gay character is creepy? I have only read 2 reviews. I saw Viggio on Letterman a couple of weeks ago and he was very strange. He still had his Eastern Promises haircut. I think the subject matter will be up my alley. I will report back. I think I also read something about a wacky violent nude fight/killing in the film. We will see. I am hitting the 2:20 showing.

abcdefz
10-03-2007, 08:49 AM
There's violence, there's the fight in the bathhouse and, yeah, he's naked. It's not something you're really looking at or anything, because
the fight itself is pretty brutal.

Yeah, one character is kind of is-he-gay?-boy-that's-weird kind of guy, and it's creepy/pathetic.

There's a throat slash that's pretty good, seemed pretty real. Usually it's just a slash like someone cutting through a melon; this one is more
like hacking, like, it's hard to kill someone. Yeah.


Yeah. My current sig is from the movie. When you realize something about Viggo's character, it's kind of chewy.

Yeti
10-03-2007, 08:55 AM
Yep, I read that the dull knife throat slashing is early in the film and gets in rolling.

abcdefz
10-03-2007, 09:01 AM
It's a straight razor. Maybe that's why it was harder.

Yeah -- full frontal on that particular wound. It's almost clinical.

Yeti
10-03-2007, 09:04 AM
As always, thanks for the information. I am excited to see the film. It was either going to be Eastern Promises or In the Valley of Elah. I decided I wanted to see Eastern Promises since I really enjoyed History of Violence.

Eastern Promises.........I liked it and give it an A-.
Viggo gives a very strong yet understated performance as a driver for the Russian mob. Vincent Cassel was excellent as the crazed son of the mob leader & Naomi Watts was bland. I don't want to give anything away but the plot twist did get me and I went----ahhhhhh.

Yeah. You start thinking about how his whole character is shot through with motivation and it's like... shit!

Naomi's character was pretty bland, I agree. I think a good chunk of that was the writing, though. She's been good in other stuff.

I watched that last night too. I thought the performances were pretty good, I was surprised. Katherine Heigl seemed a little awkward inthe beginning but she got it together and was pretty consistent the rest of the movie.

It made me cry at the end.

"Les Triplettes de Belleville"....I remember the buzz when it was released and the pile of awards it was nominated for but I alway's put it off...easily the best full length animated feature I have ever seen.....(y)

"The Incident"....have ya'all seen the incident?....fantastic!....baby faced Martin Sheen and Beau Bridges.....razor sharp social commentary,as sharp as "12 Angry Men"......loved it,can't believe I'd never seen it....on AMC at that!.....(y)

I prefer it to “Dances With Wolves” any day, largely panned by critic’s, I like it quite a bit....but I also thought “Wild Bill” with Jeff Bridges was dramatically undermined by reviewers…."Wyatt Earp” is continuously played on AMC and it usually grabs me for ½ hour or so….much better than “Tombstone”,Denis Quaid play’s a wicked Doc Holliday…..(y)

the first hour or so of the black dahlia was pretty good, but then it went to shit.

jaws 2 was a good sequel. they brought back the original lead characters and slowly built up the character's relationships, tension, and politics of the town.

congo was a huge dosage of cheese, can't believe i watched it. ditto death wish 4 and jaws 3.

Annie Hall. Never seen it before but it was amusing.

"Annie Hall" is a key example of a film awarded the Oscar,when a much superior film should have won....that film being "STAR WARS"...."Raging Bull" losing to "Ordinary People" is an other example.....(n).....i find "Annie Hall" is really a mediocre Allen pict.....if it wasn't for his genius in using New York as a giant set it wouldn't really remain with me at all......

You'll either love it or hate. I was baffled at the end but it was one of those movies that had me trying to put pieces together of a puzzle, where they might not all fit

There was some really great imagery in that movie.

But, yeah -- it's definitely got problems. The dude is just a self-involved dumbass, the story is precious and pretentious, the philosophy
is sophomoric. But, man -- Aronofsky (sp?) really went for it. There's so much wrong with it, the whole movie should be crippled, but

Jindabyne (http://imdb.com/title/tt0382765/), based on a great short story by Raymond Carver, "So Much Water So
Close to Home." In that story, three men go on a fishing trip, find a girl's body, and decide that, hell, they're already out here and
she's not going to mind, so they go right on fishing for a couple days before going back to contact authorities.

I love Laura Linney, and Gabriel Byrne is the man, but boy this movie was pretty bad. They padded out the story with all kinds of
unnecessary additions that pretty much everything that was evocative is now wiped out. And a bunch of the movie plays in these
little twenty second scenes which really come off as clumsy when I think they're supposed to be poetic. Oh, and let's add a racist
element to this to make it more profound or outrageous or whatever.

By the time we get to the girl's funeral ceremony and the movie stops dead (forgive me) so a friend can sing a song the girl wrote,
a cappella, this moral fanfare has become so grating it's hard to keep watching the last ten minutes.

Oh -- we also add a goes-nowhere subplot about the girl's killer and how he hassles the wife of one of the fishermen, etc.

The seperate versions are longer...and dont feature the fake trailers other than Machete, so they can pretty much be view seperately.

I believe Planet Terror only has minor additions, but Death Proof is much longer. Death Proof isn't great at all. Parts of it are, but parts of it drag, mainly due to really long dialogue scenes that go nowhere...Tarantino usually has great dialogue, but not here. Its OK. The end makes up for alot of it.

Planet Terror is great though.

I really enjoyed Planet Terror. My wife liked Death Proof better because she enjoyed the dialogue and did not like the craziness of Planet Terror. I really liked the campiness and action of Planet Terror.

I own an old horror movie called Motel Hell that is hysterical. A farmer that owns a motel kidnaps his guests, plants them in a field and feeds them bbque sauce thru a hole in their neck. He fattens them up and slaughters them for his famous beef jerky. I would consider this film a grindhouse film and I kept thinking of it because of the guy in Planet Terror that loved his bbque.

John.... Ratzenberger, is it? Something like that?

It's funny where all he pops up. I think he was in Star Wars, also. Like, how long did he stick it out before he got Cheers? That's tenacity.

the actor who played Rob Gretton was the best thing about this film.Also the John Cooper Clarke scene and the scene where Ian Curtis gets told by the down Syndrom kid that he doesn't like hot dogs

I enjoyed Death proof much more. which is odd because car crash scenes usually make me ill (I'm phobic). But Tarantino has a knack for doing things so over the top that it's almost comical.

Not bad. Cusack is good except for the obligatory hands-to-my-ears-i'm-going-insane-while-the-camera-and-room-spin-around-me shot.
I truly trust that he was embarrassed to do that shot -- talk about hoary clichés...

Actually, there were times when I was kind of shocked by how amateurish the direction or certain production values were. David Lynch could
turn those shortcomings into style (remember the old minature couple creeping out from crawling under the door, laughing, in MULHOLLAND
DRIVE? Yikes!); in this movie, some of that stuff just ain't working.

A key shot right at the end is kind of groan-worthy, too.

I really liked it. I wasn't expecting too, because I generally hate vampire films, but the setting and location is what gave this film its edge. Its set in a remote Alaskan town during a month of darkness, so it has this dreamy, snowy setting for the characters to run around in.

It pretty much steals from Carpenter and Romero at every turn, and the vampires are the worst kind of emo-wear, Biblical "man is a virus" spouting cliches, but the film itself is really well made, very scary and very gory.

It reminded me alot of the game Silent Hill (but of course not the film, cause that film was completely shit)

And the head vampire looked like Fatboy Slim.

But all in all, a good show.

The Reaping.

lets just say the DVD cover art (http://www.shopcrazy.com.ph/wp-content/images/2007/03/the-reaping-04.jpg) is bad ass...the movie, not so much. It wanted to be The Omen. but it wasn't even close.

I guess it's a miniseries, and not really a movie, but for the past couple of days I've finally gotten around to watching Band of Brothers, which I've been meaning to see for years. And it's fucking awesome. The acting and writing are spot on, the production values are magnificent, and it's so intense and gritty that you can watch the battle scenes over and over again.

And now I hear they're making a parallel series set in the Pacific? Holy fuck that's going to be cool as hell!

I liked it too. Josh Hartnet reminds me of Charles Bronsen in this movie

Kalifornia - saw the first half over 10 years ago and was waaay into it but never saw how it ended. So I netflixed it and god damn what a piece of shit movie. Even the first half. I don't know why I was so intrigued by it back in the day.

London - never heard of it, saw that Turkish and Jessica Biel's ass and boobies were in it so I watched it. It was pretty fucking bad. But yet I watched the whole thing.

I finally watched Downfall (der Untergang), about Hitler's last days in the Furhrerbunker. I'd been keen to watch this for a while, and it was most impressive. Captures Berlin and the Nazis in complete disarray, with an incredible performance of Adolf Hitler delivered by Bruno Ganz.

Kind of weird characterisations, though. You have to check yourself a few times to remind yourself you're sympathising with Nazis, although the script and direction do a pretty good job of nailing the point home that a powerful many forced the hands of the nation. Particularly when you consider Hitler's armies were populated by children by this point. For example, Hitler himself is extremely humanised, which is somewhat unsettling. However, witnessing his inability to watch his dog being put down (the man who sent millions to their deaths in camps, mind you) points to the precise nature of his lunacy in a very subtle way. Coupled with his obvious charisma and you have a pretty complex package in just the Furher alone.


It was excellent, anyway.

I watched Half Nelson last night.

It was alright, not as good as I was expecting. I really like the movies where unikely people become friends but this one just didn't do much for me.

I also watched Chuck and Larry, what a piece of shit that was. Poor Jesica Biel was trying so hard to make something out of her character and it was just not gonna happen. I like her, she was good in the Illusionist.

The story was pretty much shite, but it was fun. I liked the way they kept the persona's etc. from the movies. The animation was amazing..it wasn't photo-realistic but it looked fantastic, some of the best visuals ive seen in an animated film in years.

we saw American Gangster this weekend. it was really good. i'm usually not a big fan of Denzel, but he worked it nicely in this movie. there was a TON of shots of people shooting heroin and it just freaked me right the fuck out. it was very real feeling and it really showed how drugs brought down NYC in the 70's.

it was quite a bit violent, but in the way where the whole audience would yell "OH FUCK!" b/c it came out of nowhere.

we did have a very loud audience and i like that. when people are just so into it they are saying shit like "oh no you DIDN'T" and reacting to the story and characters.

it was a bit long and i about fell asleep toward the end, but not b/c it was boring. b/c i had worked all day.

"Roadside Prophets" was on the cable T.V last night...that's the second time I've watched it and the first time since it was first released.....it's really a pretty bad movie particularily Horovitz's role/performance....I forgot Cusack was in it and I missed the cameo by Timothy Leary the first time I watched it....kind of a waste of time.....

it's always the same story/humor/same annoying facial expressions just what plays a shoe in this movie will play a talking mug in the next movie

i thought they could only trick kids (3-) with that shit

of course they cant do much wrong when they make the same crap over and over again

American Gangster -

Very good. Solid crime film. Go see it.

Blue Velvet -

First time ever seeing it. Terrifying. Brilliant. Amazing.

Mulholland Drive -

Also excellent. And spooky. And bizarre.

I think im gonna go on a bit of a David Lynch watching marathon.
