Rate The Last Movie You Saw

The only reason i haven't watched it is because everyone has said it isn't as good or depraved as you've heard, from that i always expect people to be disappointed rather than disgusted nowadays, so this kinda makes me more intrigued.

Why is it different? It's the slaughtering of animals. There's no difference.

Oh I get what you meant. Nevermind. I disagree but I don't care to argue about it.

Yes and no.

Coppola is wrong for putting it in his movie, but he is not the executioner. It is a cultural thing carried out by people who are not part of the movie's production in any way. I don't agree with it and I don't like the scene at all, but it's not entirely the same.

Think about it as the difference between a documentary and a feature film... Let's say it's a doc about halal slaughter. I don't support it in any way, but the filmmakers are simply documenting what is already going on. Opposed to if they made a feature film and set up the whole slaughter themselves with the execution being done only for the sake of entertainment.

You see what I mean? Again, both is wrong, animals get slaughtered, but the methods and medium is different. The guilt doesn't lie with cinema and entertainment if it's documenting culture...

Hey MM...

Got around to watching Nightcrawler last night. Jake was one creepy motherfuc*er in that film.

4.5/5 - really great stuff. Fantastic acting and beautifully shot.

Yeah I pretty much share your sentiments when it comes to that subject. I also agree with you about Apocalypse Now, I love the film but don't agree with putting that scene in there. At the same time though it's a little bit more forgiving since it was something that was gonna happen anyway and they just filmed it from the sidelines.

As for Cannibal Holocaust supposedly taking animals and killing them just for the sake of their movie. That's something that I don't agree with at all and think is stupid. You really don't need to kill anything for the sake of "art" or whatever they were going for.

Also quick question for anyone who knows, but do you know if they actually killed animals in Patton? It really looked like they actually shot some vultures in the beginning of the film, though nothing has ever really been said about it. Something I always wondered since seeing it. If they did then that's unfortunate but also not gonna freak out about it or anything.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation 8.5/10
Furious 7 8/10
The Transporter Refueled 5/10
The Transporter Refueled can get 10/10 if Jason Statham plays the lead role...

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)

Blerg. Melodrama (real life melodrama!). I like melodrama but when I identify with the characters.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning -

Once you get over the fact that it's a direct-to-video sequel starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, it's actually a surprisingly well-made arthouse action movie.

The Imposter (2012)

Pretty good documentary about some crazy guy who loves to impersonate teenagers.

Is that the one with bald JCVD at the end? My friend showed me that scene so no idea about the rest.

Yes, it is.

I watched "enemies closer" and JVCD is the bad guy. His final scene is so bad and stupid it's remarkable.

I barely took a breath during it's half hour runtime. Horrifying stuff.

Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble! Cha cha cha!

Trainspotting (1996)- 8.5/10
Good cinematography, great acting around the board, if ya can deal with very strong Scottish accents, would highly recommend
