I'm 40 so I was raised on these 70s car movies when I was young

that's y the second half of Death Proof bored the heck outta me, nice ending, though

yeah but come on it opens up a newer/younger generation to what you were used to. I don't see why you would find fault in it but I understand why you felt bored by it. Kind of a been there done that feel.

I'm sure just like how it opened me up to go back and check out those other great car chase films it probably did the same thing to other younger people around my age.

^^ok

I'd take Planet Terror over Death Proof any day of the week.

I'd take Planet Terror over Death Proof on Wednesdays. Other days of the week I'm not so sure about.

bleak and violent, a solid debut for Takeshi Kitano.

That's a great poster!

Indeed! Fantastic design. Nice and clean.

Oh hi Solomon!

the cronicles of rid****

meh i know its old but it was the last movie i saw and its amazing

Easy A, the new comedy with Emma Stone in it, best known as Jules from Superbad. It's pretty funny, definitely recommended.

lol at the censorship of the name

Pitch Black, its prequel, is much better - have you seen that?

I thought Chronicles was the prequel even though it came out after Pitch Black

nah Chronicles is the sequel - the little girl from Pitch Black has grown up in Chronicles, the Arab youngster in PB is now a middle-aged man

I think you're confusing Chronicles with the video game Escape from Butcher Bay, which is the prequel to both PB and Chronicles

there is also a linking cartoon/anime from PB to Chronicles, which I can't remember the name of

127 Hours, Black Swan, Blue Valentine, King Speech... did an Oscar run basically... oh and Sorcerer's Apprentice I think... just because I saw a copy...

i am rewatching Godfather...

I just saw True Grit, completely fantastic movie until right at the very end, what a stupid ending! Stupid old hag. It was like the writers got bored of writing it.

It stayed pretty true to the comic and I enjoyed it

i like them i think they are both good i hav seen them both

heard nothing but good things about that one but the pirated version is not out yet

they do have All-Star Superman but I don't wanna see pale cartoony rip-offs of Frank Quitely's art, tq

Looked like it was gonna develop into that timeless, cliched-as-hell dual-personality killer ending, at which point I found myself wondering whether I was watching a good film or not, and then the ending came. In that sense, this film had me 100% fooled. Great stuff, even if the English dubbing was atrocious.

Very slow, and not much of a plot to speak of, but still a really fascinating film all the same, and one that really humanises the affect of WW2 on the side that a lot of war movies I've seen show it happening to don't. Again, top-drawer stuff.

And this one was just absolutely badass, simple as.

this one is so depressing i was pretty much suicidal at the end of it

Loved all of them. Check out Ninja Scroll for THE most badass anime film.

Yes I used to own Vampire Hunter D as part of my anime classics collection I had to get another copy of it.

I agree with Adidiasss, go with Ninja Scroll and you should also check out Fist of the North Star if you haven't yet.

127 hours. and i liked it very much.

^^i thought it was only good, not great

Yeah, depressing's hardly the word eh. I think a happy ending would've been entirely at odds with the kind of feel the film was going for though, so weird as it sounds, I'm glad it ended as it did and not some fairytale bollocks.

Yeah, I've seen Ninja Scroll, but not for at least 5 or 6 years. I do remember liking it though.

Haven't come across Fist Of the North Star though, I'll have to check that out after the Vampire Hunter sequel.

I had to see Cool World because of someone mentioning it in this thread and I haven't seen it in ages. It was so good and just as great as I remembered. It is pretty timeless.

I also saw Starship Troopers 3

I like that they decided to bring back Rico after leaving him out of the second one.
I hope they continue to make more Starship Troopers I love the satirical feel of the news feed that plays throughout the movie. This time they focused on terrorism and religion at took shots at both of them with humor.

Holy hell...didn't even know there was a second one! May have to check those out.

I'm about to go see Red Riding Hood...I have high hopes! Will report back later.

Didn't like it at all. Haven't seen a movie whos plot went this slow in a long time. The movie pretty much consisted of religious psychobable. Pretty bad timing with the what happend in Japan to. In the movie there's a tsunami that kills roughly 100,000 people in the begining sequence. It's also very hard to take psychics seriously to begin with, it's even harder when Matt Damon pretends to be one.

I saw Battle:LA and while I enjoyed it for the most part.

I hated the aliens.

Why come to colonize a planet and not send out the best of the best to do so?

Why is it that our little earthly weapons can pierce alien armor?

just watched the bourne trilogy (top notch- wish i watched them from before)
also watched watchmen didnt like the ending a lot just love rorshack

you can check out the second one because they have some good b-movie type actors in it but ummm idk be forewarned that it's pretty horrible in comparison to the first or third one.

WTF? X 1000000

this is one of the best movies ever

^ <3333

Underrated as all hell.

Just finished watching this for probably the 50th time;

http://www.fotos.org/galeria/data/57...-The-Thing.jpg

And as such, here's...

My List Of 10 Things Which Are Awesome About This Film

1. Kurt Russel
2. The soundtrack
3. The monster
4. The transformation scenes that accompany it
5. The photography
6. The ending
7. The pacing
8. The acting
9. "Yeah, fuck you too!"
10. Kurt Russel

Bring on the prequel :yeah:

It's no walk in the park, that's for sure. Looks absolutely stunning and all, but it's far from a favourite of mine.

^Oh man, I love The Thing :D

For those further interested in Carpenter, he's supposed to be "back in shape" with an episode from the series Masters of Horror which he directed. The episode is called John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns.

"Masters of Horror" John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns (TV episode 2005) - IMDb

I've seen a few Masters Of Horror episodes, but not that one. The one's I have seen have been a bit of a mixed bag, of which the ones directed by John Landis and Takashi Miike have been by far the best.

Back to Carpenter though, I've heard good things about his latest full-length film the Ward. I should probably check that out sometime soon too.

I think I lost 50 IQ points after watching this film.

This scene pretty much sums up what this movie is all about for an hour and a half.
