While I cannot say that this is a bad movie (and I think it's a good one), I found it to be quite flawed. I thought the acting was alright but I wasn't too fond of the direction, the camerawork in particular, and in some sequences the music seemed out of place. Also, the final act was a bit disappointing.

First post, yay!

50/50

Great movie. Simple story executed really well with some great acting. Oh, and ANNA KENDRICK.

8.5/10

Skyfall

Really enjoyed this. It was a lot more simplistic than previous Bond films and I liked it for it. Javier Bardem is badass and Daniel Craig is an awesome Bond. I thought a couple things were silly, like shooting a flare underwater (although I haven't researched this, I'm pretty sure you can't do it) but that's to be expected in a Bond movie and is a part of its charm. Really looking forward to the next Bond after seeing this especially after the introduction of the new 3 central characters.

The Amazing Spider-Man

http://plannedbanter.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/amazing-spider-man-teaser.jpg

Since I "reviewed" Spider-Man last time, I'll just do a comparison of the two.

What Amazing did better:

-I think the overall acting is stronger in this. Garfield, Stone, Ifans, Leary, Sheen, and Field.

-I like Garfield's Parker quite a bit. He was still a nerd, but a much more modern one. He's a social outcast, but not he's not weak. He was actually kind of badass before he even got his powers.

-The relationship was much more fleshed out and developed. It combined awkward introductions with growing confidence and strengthening bonds.

-I like Flash Thompson in this. He was a typical bully and a dick, but he showed various colours of his personality. Much better than the Raimi throwaway.

-Parker's relationship with his aunt and uncle is much more in depth. It's not just 5 minutes of "hey, that Parker kid is changing", before the death scene. There is development, and an arc between the characters, involving happiness, sadness, anger, then pain.

-Emma Stone is hot. :yup: Oh, back to the movie. Gwen Stacy is actually a character in this, and not just an object of various guy's affection (AKA slut). She's almost smarter than Parker, brave, and gives attitude at times. Good job Webb, you created one of the stronger female leads in a comic book film. :up:

-The Lizard was a freaking awesome villain. He looked gross and menacing. He almost killed Spider-Man every time they fought, who got his ass saved a lot. Not actually how I imagined him from the tv show, but still good.

-I liked the dry humour from Spider-Man. I know some found it corny and not funny, but that's what I liked about it. Parker thinks he's being funny, when he's really just a smart-ass behind the safety of his mask.

-More people actually acknowledged Uncle Ben's death this time. Like, the whole school. Even Gwen's Dad was given more respect than anyone in Raimi's version.

What was worse:

-I wish they didn't show Uncle Ben getting shot. I know we all know what happens, but the first one had it right in keeping the tension. Or at least show them struggling with the gun, having the gun raised, then cut from there with a loud gunshot.

-Yeah, still didn't like that pandering towards the audience with the whole crane bit. I get what they're doing with this, but both Spider-Man and this one made it feel cheap and useless. I feel like Webb and Raimi were forced to include something like this from stupid producers.

-I think Dafoe's character was more interesting as the main villain, but that's debatable.

-I didn't like that fight scene at the beginning. I like seeing Parker stand up for others before he got his powers, but I didn't see Flash in this movie as the kind of guy who would turn that violent. Their relationship was more like "I'm bigger than you, so that means I'm better. Just do what I say, I don't consider you equal." The name 'Eugene' must really be his breaking point.

I watched Our Idiot Brother which has Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Banks, two females that I have started to really enjoy over the years. The movie wasn't anything special, it had a few entertaining moments here and there, but ultimately, it didn't have anything that I will be talking about in the future.

Last night I watched the latest from Billy Friedkin, being Killer Joe.

First, who is Billy Friedkin - well, he is that fellow who directed The Exorcist, and The French Connection, and Sorcerer, and Bug. In recent years Billy has spent his time directing live opera, all over the globe - but every now again he returns to film. Killer Joe is his latest.

I found Killer Joe like most of Billy's films - which is to say I found it spellbinding and was lost within it completely. In terms of filmcraft, it had one bad segment of edit that can easily be fixed. As a film - its genius, as is Billy.

If you have not seen Bug or Killer Joe (Billy's most recent films) I highly recommend them. Here you will see film done by a true director with real skills. There are few alive that still work at this level of filmcraft - so, to not pay attention is folly.

A poor man's Mulholland Drive. To say it's a very confusing film would be an understatement. I even read about it after I finished watching it and I still can't wrap my head around it. It almost makes no sense. I loved the opening credits scene, and the scenes in which Patricia Arquette was naked. To make the experience even more surrealistic and weird, I paused the movie halfway through and slept for about an hour because I was extremely tired, and then woke up and watched the rest. I liked what I saw, but at the same time it left me cold. I'm still thinking about it.

Well at least you liked it, it's not a poor man's Mulholland Drive, just a man version of it, like I've said before ;) I think it makes sense anyway, I'll write it up proper sometime if you want, I actually understood the film on first viewing unlike Mulholland Drive which I read about then got.

It's not exactly a man version of Mulholland Drive. It has some similarities, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's different.

And you didn't ask me but I'll respond to that anyway. Lost Highway isn't so much worse than Mulholland Drive. Mulholland Drive is far superior to Lost Highway. There is a reason why Mulholland Drive was on both Sight and Sound lists (directors and critics), while Lost Highway wasn't part of any of these lists. Furthermore, Ebert has the former on his Greatest Movies collection while he gave Lost Highway a thumbs down.

Furthermore, Ebert has the former on his Greatest Movies collection while he gave Lost Highway a thumbs down.

Ebert's two reviews of Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive are silly, he basically condemns one and praises the other for exactly the same thing. I read somewhere else where he talked about how a film doesn't have to make sense to be good - citing Mulholland Drive as an example - but he uses this as his main criticism of Lost Highway.

In fact, Roger Ebert annoys me with almost all his reviews of Lynch, he gives The Elephant Man 2 stars, and Blue Velvet even less, a film that is ahead of Mulholland Drive on S&S directors poll.

I find it strange that he hates pretty much everything Lynch and puts Mulholland Drive in his 'great movies' section, it just doesn't seem right and consistent. It's as if he saw The Straight Story, realised that others thought he was a great film maker and jumped on the bandwagon and 'loved' his next film despite disliking similar films he had seen before it.

Honestly, I think Mulholland Drive is a great film, and if people love it then it's easy to see why, I am just curious to know why some people seem quick to criticise a similar film, at least for me - although yes, it does have a lot of differences too - for things they enjoy in another film. You still give it a good rating, which I am glad of :)

I don't think so. Even in his Lost Highway review, he said "Lynch is such a talented director".

And what do you mean "for things they enjoy in another film"? You make it sound like it's the same movie, only consisting of different actors, and with a male lead instead of female. It's a different movie. Yes, it has similar themes, but it's a completely different film.

There wasn't a single scene in Lost Highway that even resembled the Club Silencio scene for instance, let alone evoke such emotions. That is the main difference between these two films.

[Daniel M]

What I mean by they are similar is that they are both films:

that are about the creation of fantasy worlds as a result of the guilt of murdering somebody they love.

So yeh, actually, it pretty much is the same film, I reckon.

Lost Highway is just more aggressive/darker like a murder mystery, and is more about the male role in relationship, sexual paranoia, jealousy etc.

And there were plenty of scenes that I enjoyed and found equally or more powerful than the Silencio thing, but that's a matter of opinion ;) It's clear you feel more connected to the film than me and as a result it is more powerful than you, but in terms of thematically/structure/design/style I don't get why Lost Highway is criticised for similar things to Mulholland Drive.

Don't know really, it's nothing definitive but I will try to explain. Like I said I have no problem with people loving Mulholland Drive more, even a lot more, it's just when they say they love it and hate Lost Highway, I begin to wonder why, maybe I am missing something that makes the films so different. But I don't think I am.

I think it's just a lot of little things that make me prefer it, stuff that I like to see in films. A lot of it feels like a murder mystery film noir thing with the detectives trailing him and the Robert Blake character representing like a private investigator, and the video tapes too, the character himself is creepy/awesome. I love Bill Pullman and really like his character look and style. Then there's the cabin, the cars, it kind of reminds me of Twin Peaks, I loved the music slightly better, although both scores are fantastic, and I loved the character of Dick Laurent, and the tailgating scene, that actor was in The Sopranos briefly which I loved too.

I am not trying to argue that one is better than the other, because I don't believe you can say that it is, it's all down to you, it's just if someone finds the two so different in quality I want to know just why :p

Fair enough. I also liked Bill Pullman's character, but then after his transformation Pullman is gone and the new character was such a cold character I almost didn't care for him.

The tailgating scene I felt was totally unnecessary. If there is one scene that I'd remove from the movie, it's that one.

Fair enough as well, although I love random, unnecessary scenes in films, that add to the overall weirdness/quirkiness, it's over the top, and perhaps not very realistic, but it's Lynch. It's self aware and like a parody itself, I find it hilarious, like a lot of the stuff in Twin Peaks.

Edit: Also I love the cameos by Jack Nance (I love all his Lynch work) and Richard Pryor, another strange but awesome addition to the film.

It's hard to say without going into spoilers about exploding heads. :p That, and where the story went from there, I just couldn't buy, even from Lynch. Plus, one thing I've loved about Lynch from the beginning is his ability to offset the most grotesque stories and images with uncommon, often ethereal beauty, and beauty is pretty much absent from LOST HIGHWAY.

Yeah, that's it. That's my rating.

Jesus. That was one bad movie. Earned itself three big cringes though, accompanied by that numb feeling you get on your legs when you see something that hurts your... soul or something. Ya' know, that numby feeling you get when you read vagina dentata or something. This is a movie about a chick that gets repeatedly raped and then kills the rapists. Two of the rape instances, and one of the kills were my three big cringes/numby feely things. I guess in that sense, it was effective.

Poorly shot, badly acted. The script was written by an idiot. Seriously, it's like a ****** first draft or something. What. The. ****. How do you **** up something this simple so badly?

There's a handgun in the house the protagonist just rented. Interestingly representative of the rest of the movie. It's just there. It's there like saying "You'll use me later to fulfil your revenge." Well, no she doesn't, so the whole gun thing is pointless, just an implausible thing thrown in for no reason whatsoever. And like the gun, the movie's also saying "We don't wanna create any depht for the characters, reasons for their actions. And we don't wanna deal with the aftermath of the rape. So let's do like when you skip to the ending while watching porn. Just the rape thing, and the revenge thing. Please refrain from complaining until taking a look at the poster. Thank you." True, true.

The Final -

It was one of the 8 Films to Die For, and while I am not a big fan of the series, I've always been meaning to pursue them. I've seen Frontier(s) and The Hamiltons. The movie had a lot of redeeming qualities about it and I think that I'd go as far as to call it a good movie overall if only for the portrayal of the main antagonist. There was a lot of unneeded shenanigans, and the portrayal of the killers was a little over-the-top and unbelievable, but by the time that the masks were on, everything went into another gear. I liked the poetic-styling, the speeches from the head-guy, and above all else, it was an entertaining movie.

Not bad. The acting was a bit ropey in parts, and the constant interruption of the narrated sections got really annoying and effected the flow of the film. When the mission eventually starts to go wrong, some of the characters started proclaiming that they "did it for mankind". Who else would it be for..?:rolleyes:. Not a terrible film by any means, just nothing special.

I just finished watching Hellraiser VII: Deader, and I have to say, I am really surprised, because usually low-budget horror-movies really start showing quality by the time they make it to their seventh film. (Sarcasm? No, this is Patrick.) It wasn't terrible, but it was pretty bad, and didn't have a lot going for it. Similar to Hellraiser: Inferno, which is the best movie out of the series in my opinion, the story doesn't really have a lot of focus on Pinhead but instead has focus on a script made for something entirely different. In-fact, Pin-Head was in it for less than ten minutes.

The acting was good, especially the children.

There are a few really big holes in the script, and the ending was disappointing. It felt as if they couldn't decide to have a happy or tragic end and just fumbled it.

Lars and the Real Girl

Where do I even start? Sorry to disappoint the MoFos that recommended this, but I hated it. I seriously disliked the protagonist, not because he was mentally ill but because he was kind of a jerk. I couldn't relate to him and I couldn't really bring myself to care about him. Aside from his brother and sister in law, I really didn't understand why any of the characters felt anything for him either. Intentionally or not, he treated everybody like crap. And the doll? Really? To say I struggled with suspension of disbelief is a gross understatement. I could maybe buy that the people in his life would play along with his delusion, but the paramedics? The hospital staff? No way. No way are they going to waste time and resources "treating" a sex doll. Not gonna happen. Period. And then the funeral was just laughable in a really bad way. I spent the whole movie alternating between muttering "Are you kidding me?" and just silently shaking my head.

Rating: 1.5 (and that's being generous)

[Sexy Celebrity]

I like Lars and the Real Girl, but I agree with you about the ridiculousness of everybody treating the sex doll as if it's a real person. I laughed my ass off at the movie, though, when I first saw it. And Ryan Gosling looks pretty damn hot as Lars. But the fact that the movie made me laugh so much at its insanity is why I liked it. Sorry, but I don't want seriousness all the time.

What's worse? This or Vampire's Kiss?

[mark f]

Vampire's Kiss is way worse.

[Miss Vicky]

I don't want seriousness all the time, either (which I think is pretty well evidenced by the movies in my top 100), but I couldn't even manage to laugh at this. I couldn't connect with it on any level. I tried, I really did, but it just didn't happen. And Gosling is not hot as Lars.

Vampire's Kiss was bad but it was at least amusing in a WTF kind of way. If I had to choose one to rewatch, I'd pick crazy Cage.

Super 8

I'm not really sure what to think of this. Thought the first 40-50 minutes or so were great then it all went downhill. I got bored of it and struggled to pay attention for a lot of the film but I don't think the film was bad. The young actors did a really good job especially Elle Fanning who stole the show.

Not a fan of the ending at all. It felt rushed and over the top. Although for the first half of the film and the mini-film in the credits I'll give this movie a 6.5/10

7/10

The first time watching this, I really didn't like it at all. But I actually enjoyed it much more with a 2nd go. The human scenes were much more bearable for me, and I started to see Thor's personality better, for some reason. I think the Avengers changed my opinion on the campy style comedy that's throughout this one, so that helped a lot. On my first viewing, I probably would have given it a 6/10, but it's starting to grow on me. The sequel coming out looks a lot better.

[Sane]

I felt much the same about Thor. I actually turned it off halfway through the first time but gave it another go and really liked it. I think getting Branagh to direct was a great idea and gave it a bit more depth than it may have otherwise had. I'm not a huge fan of action movies but I actually have a lot of respect for what Marvel have done - lots of great directing and acting choices.

I didn't hate it, I was more apathetic to it.

The first hour was really gripping, then it settled into a fairly conventional thriller. Out of four: ***

[McConnaughay]

The Factory
Kind of had a "seen this before" quality to it (cop on the case of a serial killer finds that his own daughter may be a victim). Not particularly original, but engaging enough and I like the cast.
3+

That's probably just about my experience with the movie, although, I'd probably give it around a 3.0/10.0, not out of five.


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/09/Dreadposter09.jpg/220px-Dreadposter09.jpg
I watched the first installment in The Puppet Master series today as well as Dread. Let's begin with saying that, for those who don't know, Dread is a horror-film based off of a short-story written by Clive Barker. Clive Barker can be credited for the video-game Jericho, as well as the Hellraiser and Candy Man movie series'. I wouldn't particularly call any of his work great in-terms of storytelling, however, his demented imagery is off of the charts.

Dread has a lot of good things going for it, albeit with a concept that admittedly feels familiar, and seemingly had a very capable cast. Unfortunately, I feel like there was too much directionless moments for this movie to really kick it into a second-gear, and by the time that things finally took off, it was far too late. Ultimately, it's a decent flick, but nothing that I'd see myself going back to in the near future. I was a little disappointed.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7c/Puppet_Master.jpg/220px-Puppet_Master.jpg

I don't think anybody will be surprised whenever I say that The Puppet Master won't be finding its way into my top-five favorite movies of all-time. In-fact, it's very unlikely that it even cracks the top five-hundred, but I went into it expecting what I got. The movie has an outlandish storyline that is messy, incoherent, and over-the-top. It doesn't help matters that later installments in the series merely extend on that by riddling the film with plot-holes and inconsistencies. Eh, but I enjoyed the movie.

Even though it was my first time watching the movie, it carries something reminiscent of a nostalgic feeling for me. I remember the Boogeyman chronology, or whatever it was, basically, it had a compilation of slasher flicks, and I watched the **** out of it for some reason. Also, the movie has a "so bad that it's good" kind-of feeling to it, and there's something to say for its outlandishness.

Im still not overly sure about this one, im definately going to give it a rewatch. I didnt really enjoy the first hour or so of the film, i found parts quite boring and slow, i really liked the ending and thought Kinski was great. Maybe someone can tell me what im missing?

A damn fine thriller. I didn't know what to make of it after seeing it for the first time, so after more than two years, I decided to give it another go. The second time I knew the twist obviously, but the story still kept me interested. Hence, I've come to the conclusion that the twist isn't what the film is all about, instead, it's about the mood it creates throughout. Still a tad overrated though.

I was gona post this, I think I saw it on Channel 4 recently, a great little gem.

The movie I will post is Denzel Washington's fallen, not one of his best movies but a decent effort from a late 90s stint in which Denzel seemed to be trying out different genres. The plot is very typical horror/satanic evil crap but there were good performances throughout, especially from John Goodman.

Heck there's Gandolfini with hair and a moustache, you gota watch it just for that!

Disconnect (2012)

This movie is BRILLIANT. Had little to no knowledge or expectations going into this movie and I'm well and truly blown away.

The movie shows 3 different storylines that all relate to technology in some form and the way these stories are presented is extremely well done and powerful. The final moments of this film will leave you on the edge of your seat and certainly doesn't pander to the typical Hollywood 'happily ever after' ending. The realism in this movie also blew me away. Great performances from everybody all around. Jason Bateman takes his skills to a whole new level and Andrea Riseborough is one to look out for definitely.

Please, do yourselves a favor and watch this movie. It is brilliant.

I really like this movie. It has so much charm, and Joe Johnston skillfully blended heart warming moments with good action and comedy. The setting of WWII was excellent, I think they captured the time period pretty well (too bad they won't be able to go back to that). But what made the movie for me was Steve Rodgers, played by Chris Evans. I never cared for this superhero before, but the movie made you root for him. He always tries, and I really loved that about him. Rodgers isn't just a patriotic guy with a shield, who wants to kill Nazis. He's a tough, loyal man who stands by his country and allies. He is the person we would all like to be, or associate ourselves with. Cap is not only a great hero, but he's a downright good person, and that's really refreshing.

http://www.destroythebrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/rec-3-us-poster.jpg

Come on look at that, how could I not?

Ok, so I rented Quarantine a few years back. I thought it was decently mediocre. The whole handheld camera thing always pisses me off, 'cause it never makes sense that they keep filming everything and running with the camera held up in the midst of chaos like dumbasses. But I'm big on zombie flicks, so mediocre equals decent and watchable for me. Then I watched [•REC], the spanish original. Same exact movie. Jeez man, sometimes I wonder why the hell they remake them? Seriously, if you want to avoid reading THAT bad, just dub the damn thing. Ah well there's the money thing...

Aaanyway. So then I watched [•REC]². It was definitely worse than the first one, especially because it vastly expanded on this little thing they threw in at the end of the first one, that implied that zombies here are possesed people, by fallen angels or some crap like that. Still, a zombie flick, so I could watch it. Still had the handheld camera thing.

And now... after the second one, I wasn't particularly keen on watching another sequel, but I bumped into the trailer on youtube a while back. And NOM NOM NOM NOM, had to watch it! I mean look at that poster! A bride with a leg showing and a chaisaw! That's my Planet Terror style fix, man! So, I knew it would be more grindhouse, take itself less seriously than the first two, and I knew I'd like it better than either of them. It's a cheesy zombie gorefest. It dropped the handheld camera thing, thank god, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Objectively, it's a lesser movie, less realistic, more over the top. There's not only the bride with the chainsaw, but the groom with the medieval armor and weaponry, and some other dude with a SpongeJohn suit. Don't I mean SpongeBob? No I do not. Don't get me started.

All I can say is, I expected it to be even more over the top. Don't get me wrong, it was preposterous and loving it, but I wanted more. Anyway, I enjoyed the full 80 minutes. Didn't like the ending though, ³ Genesis"]the newlyweds should've earned their survival by being the total badasses they were, but for this kind of movie it's a minor thing, and the few minutes leading to it, oh yes I did. Yes I did.

Can't rate this kind of movie. It's crap. It just happens to be crap that puts a grin on my face.

The Bourne Identity

Haven't really done one of these in a while, I have been watching movies but just been lazy to post. Anyway I will start off by saying when I first watched this at the cinema I hated it as I am a huge James Bond fan and this seemed like a bit of a rip off. I had then seen it a couple of time after that and still disliked it (various reasons mainly to do with James Bond). After watching it recently I have now come to enjoy this movie one thing I think the movie did well was using Europe as it premise (I believe this is also part of the books) if they had changed it to the Americas I think I would have thought it was another American spy movie. All the actors were well cast even Clive Owens 3 mins of screen time. I did get a sense of Bourne being lost not only in his mind but location. I am going to watch the other movies soon but now that I like this one the others might be worth it.

Dumbasses are the life blood of horror movies. What would they be without them? You can't have a whole lot of smart people in horror movies because they'd survive and stuff. Or even worse, not get themselves into the situation in the first place. :)

In defense of the handheld there is something super creepy about them. Mainly because things come into view so suddenly. It's a super easy way to do an effective jump scare. I have the same thing happen to me when I'm walking around with my flashlight. I can't tell you how many times my neighbors horse has suddenly come into my view with his big glowing horse eyes and scared the beejeezus out of me.

[rec] scared me stupid and I don't think it would have if it were not filmed with the handheld. I don't know, I like the horror/handheld combo even though most everyone else is sick to death of them.

So does the third's plot tie into the other two ? I noticed Paco Plaza is still directing the series, so I figured the plot would tie in some how.

Also, you say crap even more than I do and that's a lot of crap. :)

I find them pretty effective too. I jumped regularly through the first three Paranormal Activities.

BTW, [rec]3 was pretty bad. From memory one of the main issues was that it did try to be different to the first two and basically became an action movie. Still, entertaining if you are into that sort of thing ;)

I looked at it a little more and it looks like the first two are more my style, but I'll end up watching it anyway.

All four of the PAs have scared me, but the first one really freaked me out. I think with movies like Paranormal Activity they either work for you or they don't and there isn't any middle ground.

Yeah I'm generally slightly annoyed by it, but not REALLY bothered by it, unless it's dissapointing me in some way. Like Diary of the Dead. Romero pulling that crap on me? No, George! Not you! That pissed me off. The only Romero zombie flick I honestly do not like at all.
[rec] scared me stupid and I don't think it would have if it were not filmed with the handheld. I don't know, I like the horror/handheld combo even though most everyone else is sick to death of them.
Count me in on that group, except for me it's not so much that I'm sick of it, but that I think it was illogic in the first place. If someone pulled it off in a convincing way, in a way that made sense for the person to keep filming, I'd be cool with it. But I don't think there's any strong reason for it. Everyone tries something, generally the "we need to show it to the world" thing. But for me it isn't convincing enough after a certain point. I haven't watched any of the Paranormal Activities, but I've sort of seen some stuff, and that's different. That's a house full of cameras. In that sense I have no problem with that. It's when there's stuff trying to kill the guy, and the idiot films it. And then half the group gets slaughtered and the idiot keeps filming. And when he runs, filming forward. It feels staged when it should feel um... like, the opposite of that lol. On the run type thing.
So does the third's plot tie into the other two ? I noticed Paco Plaza is still directing the series, so I figured the plot would tie in some how.

Also, you say crap even more than I do and that's a lot of crap. :)
Yeah, not really, no. They keep the religious thing, but other than that, no relation at all.

And I do love crap ;)

That sums it up pretty nicely. If you were really into the "seriousness" of the first two, you'll hate it. This ***** all over it. It doesn't try to be scary, it's just one big gorefest with even some comedy thrown in. I love it :yup:

Agree. In fact I liked even less than you seem to have. It's not a bad movie, but I was never invested. I didn't really like the boy, and even though the vampire looked like a kid, she wasn't. So what? When I read about it they said like it was really touching because the vampire was a kid. But she isn't. She just looks like one. So I wasn't touched by that. I didn't even feel any kind of emotion from her part, from where I was standing, it just looked like she was manipulating the kind into thinking there was an emotional connection, where there really wasn't. And then there was the small mostly off-camera gorefest at the end. I don't mind gorefests, but in the wrong movie, in an uncalled for way like this, I hate it. This movie gets no love from me.

For a swedish dramish vampire film, I'll go with Vampyrer (Not Like Others). Yeah the ending really, really sucks, but I can believe that sister relationship during the movie. Wanna rewatch it.

Stray Dog, 1949, directed by Akira Kurosawa

http://brightlightsfilm.com/21/21_images/021kurosawa.jpg

A really strong hybrid of film noir and a buddy cop film. Toshiro Mifune, who I had actually never seen in a contemporary role before, is great as a naive young cop who loses his gun to a pickpocket during an intense heat wave and has to track down whoever is using it. Takashi Shimura (from Seven Samurai and Ikiru, among others) is the experienced cop who takes Mifune under his wing.

Definitely recommended if you're a fan of film noir, as Stray Dog does a good job of getting that sweaty, oppressive feel of a heat wave (why are they still wearing suits?!?) and throws all kinds of obstacles in the protagonist's way. Also, there's an extended (maybe too long) scene from a Japanese baseball game from the '40s that was pretty cool to watch, as a fan of the game.

Vanilla Sky ~ 5.5

I feel this movie is highly overrated. I watched "Abre Los Ojos" about a month again and found that version of the film much better. Perhaps because it is the original story. I understand many Americans are familiar with Vanilla Sky over Abre Los Ojos, but I think the latter was well paced and much more enjoyable. Vanilla Sky seemed just toooo long (that I was waiting for it to end!)

[McConnaughay]

I watched a newer movie called Abandoned Mine, it had Alexa Vega in it, who you may know from Spy Kids, as well as Repo: The Genetic Opera, and that's about everything noteworthy. There was some ounces of entertainment value with the movie, but other-wise, it was a mediocre horror. Also, the person that I was most excited to see, Alexa Vega, was actually the most annoying character throughout the entire movie. Nothing worth acknowledging, and, well, yeah, that's about it.

Alright, now for real...

I'm sorry Teeter_G, I don't understand your appeal for this kind of movie at all. The acting was more wooden than if you had Jason Voorhes in a rom com. The French dub actors/actresses really did do a better job than the actual actors. I'm pretty sure the camera man was on Heisenberg's meth throughout filming, because he couldn't keep the damn camera still at all. The plot was so nonsensical and uninteresting. The romance had no feeling whatsoever. The action scenes were decent, at best. The only character I felt anything for was the dad, because he was thrown into all this ***** for no good reason, other than some "vampires" fancying his emotionless and sulky daughter. Don't get me started on the baseball scene...

My God, this was not a fun time for me.

Prometheus

I really don't understand why a lot of people disliked this movie. For one it was somewhat of a prequel to Alien (the ending especially showed the evolution). The acting/casting was excellent (Michael Fassbender was brilliant), it showed how the Weyland Corp became obsessed with the Xenomorphs (well not quite yet). The visuals were spectacular, what more could you ask.

The Wicker Tree (2011) ~ Directed by Robin Hardy

6.5/10

http://www.joblo.com/images_arrownews/wtreeexcl-1.jpg

This is the second installment of Robin Hardy's "The Wicker Man" trilogy and does not hold up to the standards of the first film. It is enjoyable but still lacks the luster of the first film. There is 38 year gap and horror genre has changed over those years. Perhaps this is why the first film is more memorable than the second film.

Most people criticize the plot holes and poor writing in parts of the film. I thought Prometheus was okay, but I was kinda disappointed because I was expecting a philosophical style film.When it was a slightly above average Sci-fi action flick instead.

lol I am looking at some of the plot holes now, which I honestly didn't really think about, this is a good one

Plot contrivance: The effect of the black goo is all over the place and unpredictable like a diva on PMS.

- An Engineer drinks it; it dissolves him in a river and creates life on a planet.

- Worms are covered in it: they become giant vagina-cobras with an oral fixation

- A geologist gets his face in it: becomes a gymnast zombie from Resident Evil

- A human drinks it: make him impregnate an infertile woman with a giant space squid

It must be great to be a screenwriter who can pull so many different things from his *******: it’s like your own personal backpack in-between your legs.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/39/Curse_of_Chucky%2C_Blu-ray_Art.jpg/220px-Curse_of_Chucky%2C_Blu-ray_Art.jpg

"Chucky's Back and Better Than Ever" is the little tag-line that they selected for this movie, and going into it, I was actually wondering whether or not that would reign true. The popular consensus about the movies is that after Child's Play 2, it only got worse, and it was mostly due to the excessive focus on the comedic aspects of the movies. Curse of Chucky was seen as a return to the horror-aspect of the franchise, and while the doll didn't look magnificent, the critics gave a considerably positive reception to the movie.

I was excited about this movie, extremely, in-fact, and I went to Family Video to rent the movie on the very first (third) day that it was out.

...

The movie sucked.

...

The dialogue was horrendously cultivated in a way that not only disabled Brad Douriff's rendition of the redheaded menace from being even remotely as clever as he was in the previous movies, and the story itself seemed relatively incoherent. The characters were annoying, aside from Fiona's character, which I enjoyed, although, once again, felt underdeveloped. I would say that it was thrown together to say the least, it wasn't until forty-five minutes into the movie that Chucky spoke, and when he did, it wasn't exactly gold.

"Women ..., you can't live with them, .... period," um, well, okay, I suppose we decided to leave our stupid albeit humorous remarks at home today, but at least your laugh is still the greatest thing in the world. The movie doesn't innovate, and while it tries to pull at our feelings of nostalgia, it does it in such an incoherent way. There are a lot of noticeable plot-holes in the movie, more than just the fact that he no longer bleeds, but some relatively big parts at the end and after the credits.

Child's Play was never much more than a horror-movie plus a great antagonist, which can be often said about the A Nightmare on Elm Street series, and that's why I love them. That's why I'll continuously go see them, but this movie felt like it didn't even have the great villain any more.

P.S.: I will still see the sequel, the sequel's sequel, and all that come after, because I still love the series.

Kotoko

The last movie I watched in a Shinya Tsukamoto marathon. It's not a particularly good movie but I ended up liking it anyway. More than most of his other movies actually. It looked cheap, and not in an intentional way, and the story is nothing special. Something about the mood and atmosphere won me over though.

8/10 but I don't recommend it.

Just sat through Piranha (2010) I recorded last night.

Fun in a gory kind of way and some toe curling scenes too... some funny scenes in a slapstick kind of way and also some visually funny things going on too... kinda reminded me of Tremors crossed with Jaws.

Would I recommend it? I'd give it an 80% http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q552/The-Rodent/RodentStamp50-50_zps816bc559.jpg (http://s1163.photobucket.com/user/The-Rodent/media/RodentStamp50-50_zps816bc559.jpg.html)

My Rating:8.0/10
Here are my thoughts on Gravity. It is visually spectacular, and I mean spectacular. The CGI and visual effects are simply breathtaking and the 3D is done extremely well. I highly recommend watching it in 3D as it truly improves the experience and makes the film that much more physical. The acting is good, the story is fine. This is a great movie, and one you HAVE to see in the theaters. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining and gripping throughout.

Pride of Jesse Hallam with Johnny Cash. About a guy who cant read or write, he sells his farm and moves to Cincinatti and the film deals with the problems he has in adjusting to the big city. Very good show, Cash gives a stellar performance. And of course the killer music by Cash.

I personally loved it. I thought it was so much like Shakespeare's prose... it was perfect to me...

Cinematography, costumes, set designs.... majority of the acting was decent.

I guess I loved it because they stuck with Shakespeare's Middle English and did not convert it to today's English. Indeed, it was like watching the play on the full screen.

Oz the great and powerful. 7.5/10

Overall it was pretty good, but it lacked the pizzazz of the original, and was sub-par in the acting department. I like franco, it's just that his acting is a little robotic at times. In general it wasn't cast very well in my opinion; save for the good witch.

I have a craving to watch return to oz and am eager to see the 2014 animated flick "legend of oz".

[martyrofevil]

C.H.U.D - 3.5/10

The idea of mutated homeless people running around in the sewers could be really neat but C.H.U.D. is just so ineptly made. Terrible editing and extremely weak sound effects. At least the monsters looked pretty cool. Probably one of the few movies I wouldn't mind being remade.

[McConnaughay]

I finally got around to watching The Purge, a movie that I would've watched in theaters had it been playing where I was at. I didn't expect for the movie to be amazing, and it wasn't. The movie had an intriguing concept that wasn't paid justice to by the actual film. An hour and twenty-minutes of annoying characters, albeit some entertaining moments. I'm up for a sequel, but that doesn't mean I think it'll be good.

Watched Persona last week. One of the easiest 10/10s I've ever given - loved every moment of it :)

[mark f]

What are you going to give it next time, a 15? :)

[Sane]

This may be because I'm writing a paper about caveats registered on property titles whilst browsing Movie Forums (and my brain is a bit fried) but unfortunately I don't understand the question :(

[mark f]

It seems that if the movie is worthy of a 10 on first viewing even though it avails itself to much deeper meanings and understanding upon further watchings and reflection, then you'd probably think higher of it in the future. Or has it revealed all the first time through? :)

[Sane]

Oh, I see what you mean. That's a good point and not sure what I'll do. I actually rated it 98/100 so there is a bit of breathing space ;)

I'm not particularly good at picking up what director's are really getting at in movies so if I'm unsure I'll do one of two things. I'll either ignore what they are trying to say and just take it at face value - Last Year at Marienbad was a movie for which I did that ... it was just the story of a dude trying to get a girl to leave her husband told in a whacky way ;) - or I'll actually stop the movie and do some research to see if I'm missing anything. I kind of did both for Persona - just at face value I loved the way it was made, the acting and the story. From a deeper perspective I also read a bit about it but basically decided to assign my own view of what Bergman was getting at.

But yes, upon repeat viewing it could throw my whole rating system into chaos :)

Wait. Wait, I did not rent this.

No no, wait. It wasn't even me that put it on. I was chilling in my room, listening to music and ****, and my brother yelled at me. Told me I had to watch this movie he had just catched on TV. And then he rewinded to the beginning.

And I laughed. I did. I laughed! Come on, man! You guys can't blame me for this! I have fun with this kind of crap! I mean the whole first IDK, 20 minutes? Half hour? I was bored as hell. But once the group of youthful hotties with the badass cop and german pirate got a bunch of guns, it got seriously hilarious. Especially with the chunks of gameplay thrown in with no rhyme or reason. What is this I'm watching? I don't know. But it's really funny, man. Thanks bro.

I watched This is 40, I was never entirely sure whether or not I liked Leslie Mann as an actress, and I have to say that after seeing this movie, I still have no idea. She seemed incredibly annoying in this movie, and yet, half of the time, there was a charm about her that I really liked. The movie itself is an absolute mess that made hardly any sense whatsoever, but I was entertained for quite a lot of it. Or, at the very least, there are a lot of quotable moments that made me smile.

I thought the first hour was pretty darn solid especially for a superhero film. It was rather poignant, the CGI was used sparingly,etc. And then the action scenes begin. One after another. Tedious,boring,glaucoma inducing action scenes that can only satisfy 10-year old kids. It was awful. It was painful as a viewer to watch such joyless uninspired scenes. what a shame.

I give the film a 6.0. I can't go any higher. It's pretty typical superhero fare, but man does it take itself seriously. I can't wait to see Batman vs. Superman to see how bad that one will turn out.

The Avengers were actually heroic in their movie, they were a lot more fun, and I loved the final fight in that film, while this one left me bored. The again I just loved The Avengers period.

The Avengers was a major success in my eyes. It never felt overbloated with the big names sharing the screen time, and it was just pure, superhero fun.

I'll be watching Man of Steel soon enough, and now I'm a little bit weary. Reading Luke's review, I can give a guess about what kind of movie it is, which is a real shame. Perhaps Nolan was the wrong producer for a Superman movie?

I just watched it tonight and I couldn't agree with you more. Like you say, the first hour that setup the story was interesting, but it quickly descended into CGI hell from there. The battle in Metropolis was ridiculously over done. Superman may have won, but he killed about 2 million in the process. 7/10 from me because of the Crowe-factor.;)

Oh.
My.
Gurd.

Heart in mouth from start to end.

[Proximity]

which movie is a bigger steaming turd? man of steel or star trek into darkness?

do note that both films are, in fact, poo

[The Rodent]

Into Darkness is a much stronger film than Man Of Steel. I liked Man Of Steel and rated it fairly high but do I love it? Not sure yet. Need to get the DVD and watch through. I have a feeling I missed a few things.

As for Into Darkness... absolutely loved it.

Apart from The Dark Knight Rises, it's one of few recent films that got my heart going and had me leaning forward in my seat.

[Proximity]

i'm just being argumentative. i thought man of steel was mostly bad and star trek was ok. just hatin' players, is all.

[The Rodent]

Yeah that's cool, I knew what you were saying.

I can see the things that people hate about Into Darkness... but for me, it works solely because of the alternate timeline.

After Nero made such an impact by time travelling, I'm reading a case of destiny/fate trying to right itself... even if some of the roles are reversed, that's what I'm reading into the occurrences of the new films.

Maybe that's just my own interpretation of it and nobody else sees that, but this is what I'm getting from the alternate universe...

... and to be honest, I'm loving the journey so far.

I just hope III does something extremely brave. Not sure what, but something. The cast have apparently signed on for another film.

[Sexy Celebrity]

It's a very good portrayal of loneliness too + Fassbender slaying b*tches. What's not to like.

Gosling only likes 2 things: loneliness and slaying b*tches. And he's tired of being lonely. :cool:

I went to the movies today, and beheld Carrie, a movie that I had actually been looking forward to. It's a remake, and so, I knew entirely what was going to happen, which is always an admitted misfortune with most remakes, but I was still expected something enjoyable. Chloe (difficult last-name) did a great job with her role, seeming awkward and stricken, whereas her mother also did particularly well. There was a very capable cast of actors and actresses within this movie, and the concept has already been established as something great.

Still, it left me with something of a hollow feeling, as if to say, every time that I began to connect with the Carrie character, they took the screen off of her and it disintegrated. The expression and feeling of acceptance that she had on her way to prom. She never chose to be different, and that's the saddest thing of it all. I can really relate to a lot of her frustrations in high-school. All in all, good movie, maybe not great, but good, a little overly "explosive" towards the end, but I liked it. Did it bring anything new to the table that the original didn't have? Maybe not. Whatever.

4/10. Absolutely awful. So awful in fact I feel overjoyed that it's finally over. God I can enjoy a popcorn flick but this was just an insult to the senses as well as intelligence. This film is made by the man who made Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's Backbone. This film was just as bad as Transformers and all that crap. God it's awful.

I saw Man of Steel earlier this week and I thought that was disappointing.This film makes that look like Citizen frikkin' Kane! Agghhh damnit I'm so mad. This film just sucked so bad. Awful acting,script,dialogue, CGI disaster porn action sequences. It's a turd. A complete waste of time. It's catered towards 10 year old kids or something right?.....right? If any of you guys who enjoyed can tell me why, please do. Please do.

This movie is a certified turd.

I agree with your first sentence. I'm not sure I'd go as far to call it a good horror film before that moment, though. I was enjoying it, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped/been led to believe.

Watching Leathal Weapon 3 on TV ATM -too lazy to root a DVD out. I have to say it is painfully bad. It actually hurts to watch how awful this film is. I suppose its a child's film really; out national broadcaster is an utter joke. Riggs and his partners sprayed with bullets from UZI's and the bullet proof jackets deflect everything. Bad beyond belief.

7.5/10. Pretty good. Pretty creepy, quite funny, and damn entertaining. Definitely an enjoyable horror flick. It had a Evil Dead type of feel, that's probably because Sam Raimi is behind it. I liked it, going to check out another horror flick maybe Tuesday.

The Hangover III

Wow what a fall from grace this series took from the first one. First off the only funny part of the movie was after the end credits. Second nobody in the movie has a hangover, the only similarities to the others is the characters. Third is why give Chow a big roles like this, he is ok in small doses but he is annoying the whole movie.

1/5 stars (only because of the post credits scene)

[bluedeed]

It seems strange to me to call it a fall from "grace" for this kind of movie, even if you do find it funny I'm not sure graceful describes its humor.

I had similar problems with the Mission Impossible series, none of the missions are impossible, and each on has Tom Cruise as the same character!

Yeah I was using the word 'grace' lightly mostly due to the first one's popularity. I think with the mission impossible series they left the writing at the first one and went for over the top action and visuals.

Hangover 3 6/10

I give it an extra point for the soundtrack which included Black Sabbath and Danzig. I really liked Mr. Chow in the first 2 films but not in this one, and he was a big part of this movie. Still, I enjoyed it as I do like the three main characters. It is the weakest of the series, but I expected that going in.

Been awhile since I saw it but I enjoyed it. Micheal Bay movie this was not. It was handled with more care then that. There wasn't needless explosions for no reason. I thought the robots and monsters where pretty freaking cool. Listen did it have oscar worthy performances or story, No. But I knew this coming into the movie. You are right it was catered to a 10 year old, my 10 year old self. Not in a dumb way but in a "god that was cool".

Plus it gets points for being original (for the most part) and not another safe movie bet from the studio.

But if you hated it you hated it i guess ha.

The Purge - 2.5/5

Considering the hype it seemed to create it was a very predictable and dull movie. I think horror films need refreshing once again.

Man of Steel - 8/10

Pressure on Henry but I think he handled it well, look forward to see how he gets on with playing a bigger role as his secret identity Clarke Kent and he gives me a reason to want to watch Batman vs Superman even thought Ben's in it.

I agree it was difficult to retain concentration when watching it, but what I find most irritating about that film is that if the story were to have had more depth then the end result could have been much better in my opinion. The basis for a good film and story was there, the writers just seemed to be too lazy to expand or venture away from the home invasion stereotype storyline.

[the samoan lawyer]

Few to post:-Calvaire - Belgian horror/backwoods/deliverance movie. Kind of predictable and not that great acting especially from lead character. 6/10


NEDS- Scottish coming of age film by Peter Mullan. Gritty, hard hitting stuff but went on a bit too long and the ending was a bit of a let down. Could have been a lot better but still a decent watch. 7/10


The Entity- pretty dated 'horror' about a woman being sexually molested by a demon. Apparently a true story but won't be placed too highly on my 80's list. 6/10


Zelig- not my favourite Woody Allen but still really funny in parts, especially his flying of a plane and how he gets charged for Hebrew lessons. 7/10


Tetsuo- can anyone explain how this got 6.8 on imdb? I read the Wikipedia page after watching this and had almost no recollection of any of the storyline?! Lots of blood and errr metal. Probably the strangest movie I've ever watched. That's about it. 4/10

[mark f]

I thought Tetsuo was godawful the first time I saw it (1), but this time it (2.5) was a lot easier to take and even occasionally funny. The thing you have to remember is that some films are mostly rated by people who wanted to watch them because they sought them out due to their sensibilities. The IMDb ratings don't reflect what the average filmwatcher thinks of something since he/she doesn't rate films there.

I respect your opinion, I really do. But I see no difference between this and something like "Transformers" or any of those crappy Hollywood cash grabs.This film was so damn unoriginal I was cringing. At first I thought It was supposed to be some ironic satire of the genre, but no. It's being serious. The awful characters,dialogue,story,uninteresting action sequences really put me off.The saying "To each his own" has never been truer.At least you enjoyed it though.

And I respect your opinion even though I really liked it. Probably helped by the fact that the three movies I saw in a row before Pacific Rim was The Purge, Man of Steel, and World War Z (easily the worst of the them even though Man of Steel pissed me off more).

Lets face it, after those three movies I needed big dumb fun.

With Marvel movies (these days), you really have to let loose. I've noticed that since Iron Man, none of their movie have taken themselves very seriously, which has worked out pretty well imo.

You just have to sit back and become a kid again to fully enjoy them. For what it was, Avengers was fine. I'd probably give it a 7.5-8, but I've only watched it one time so far.

[Guaporense]

I know. I enjoyed these movies. But I was expecting more from The Avengers, I was expecting a new classic. But high expectations are usually meet with disappointment. The only cases where high expectations were meet for me were with a couple of movies, Tarkovsky's Stalker, Kurosawa's Ikiru and De Sica's Bicycle Thieves.

Exactly. I never really "loved" the Nolan Batman films too for whatever reason. They're obviously good films, but I never saw them as anything more than just entertainment. As for The Avengers, I thought it was an enjoyable light-hearted popcorn flick. But I do not see it as anything more than that though.

I felt the same way about the Batman movies except they felt decidedly un-fun (this self-seriousness is a really annoying thing about current Hollywood) and not very entertaining beyond some spectacle, so I'd consider them bad movies.

Yeah Nolan's films take themselves very,very seriously. Their grim tone is now being replicated in all sorts of films coming out today, notably Man of Steel. Maybe I need to rewatch the Nolan Batman films, because I just don't really care for them all that much. It always felt like a soulless affair to me.

Holy hell, this movie makes Troma's production values look like Industrial Light and Magic! At least Troma shoots on film, this is shot on video! But I have to admit even with the ***** production and the terrible acting, it was certainly a unique experience.
