What? Oh god no! Why does it need a sequel? They don't even know how to make those movies anymore. They've forgotten how to put fake heart into a bad action movie.

that's not true, White House Down that just came out recently proves they know how to do that. It has the same formula as those bad 90s action movies.

The Darjeeling Limited
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...eeling-600.jpg

I have been curious for a long time to see this movie, and I finally saw it at the library a few weeks ago and watched it the same night. Very good movie. I'm always interested in Wes Anderson's work because I find his directing style to be both bizarre and amazing. Plus, The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my all time favorite movies.

I went to see Wolverine in 3D today and while the 3D part of it was pointless. I really enjoyed the movie. There was a little lull during the transition from the 2nd act to the 3rd act but other than that. The final act more than made up for it. It's definitely dvd-purchase worthy. I want to go see it again actually but there are so many other films out right now that I want to see and catch up on. Oh if you go to see it, stay til after the initial set of credits to see a very nice clip.

Went see this today, specifically because I had an urge for movie theater popcorn, which I like a lot for some reason. Plus I was bored.



Anyway, whoever made the trailer should have made the movie... it wasn't the way I thought it would be, but that's to be expected. I wouldn't ordinarily go to a theater to see this kind of film, but like I said, I wanted the popcorn, and I was bored.

Oh well. I got what I wanted out of the deal.

that's on my list of movies to see over this next week.

I need to see that, RED 2 and R.I.P.D.

Does someone here remember WILD GUNS?
I've watched the movie 2 times now, it's still funny with Billy the Kid.
Just watch it if you never have seen the movie.


And I'm still looking for a new movie to watch.
Don't know yet which one will be the next?

Wild guns? Do you mean Young Guns with Emilio Estevez and Kiefer Sutherland?

Actually i don't count movie.But i am not sure,it may be Robert Deniro's "First Time As A Director"

You mean the last movie you saw was A Bronx Tale?

What an easygoing pleasant nights viewing! Actually is wasn't as bad as I thought it would be although it is very brutal and uncomfortable it was also extremely well made. I do think 90% of people on here would class this as disgusting filth with no moral centre but look behind the imagery and there is a need to exorcise many demons of a troubled countries past.

Garbage.

This is the only film I'm still afraid to see.

This is my second favorite Wes Anderson flick. Something about him is so simple, yet he always knows to make amazing films.

If I were you, I would not go see those movies. Trust me, save your money and wait for Elysium or another good movie coming out.

Likewise.... I was disturbed enough after watching both of the Human Centipede movies. I can't deal with that level of disturbing gore, especially involving babies :(

I watched this and I really enjoyed it as well. It isn't a typical apocalypse film or a typical romance film and it's not perfect or anything but I thought it was better than the average, kind of 5/6 out of 10 ratings it seems to have gotten.

Idk. I HAVE to at least see The Conjuring being a horror fan. I like to see horror movies in the theater even if they turn out to be crud.

I am more freaked out by viewing Antichrist TBH. The DVD has been sat on my shelves for 2 years now and I still haven't watched it.

I started watching that on Netflix and after about 15 mins. I had to shut it off. I will attempt to watch it one day.

Oh man, this movie was so good. I don't know what you wanted from it but it was good enough for me. I get wigged out by exorcism/demonic possession type movies. I think it goes back to growing up Christian and always being dragged to the church every Sunday but man I actually want to a sequel to this movie where we get to see other cases that the two ghost hunters get sent on. I believe you weren't pleased by it because you are an Atheist and always was.

the thing that I really liked about the movie is that they threw in everything that adults are scared of: clowns, creepy ass dolls, possessed kids.

John Dies at the End (2012)
It falls apart a bit toward the end but I loved this most recent effort from Don Coscarelli. It's unique, wacky, and just the kind of movie that creeps it's way onto my favorites list. If you love movies like Repo Man, Liquid Sky and Buckaroo Banzai the way I do, then this is definitely a movie for you, but it's certainly not a movie for all tastes.

Machete (2010)
I admire Robert Rodriguez for his DIY ethos but I seldom love his movies. This was the exception. Ball to the walls awesomeness from beginning to end. Loved it.

Lady Snowblood (1973)
Harsh Japanese revenge movie with gorgeous cinematography that feels at least ten years ahead of its time. This was a heavy influence on Kill Bill and it's very noticeable. Great stuff.

Haywire (2011)
I tend to have mixed feelings about Steven Soderbergh's movies and this was no exception. The cinematography was gorgeous but the overall mood and the the music that contributed greatly to it was certainly an odd choice. Despite being a spy thriller this entire movie felt very downbeat, even the fight scenes. I still haven't decided whether I like that or not.

The Lives of Others (2006)

Not sure how I missed this film until now. An East German couple in 1984 are under survelience from a a Stasi officer. This is an excellent political suspense thriller as well as a fine in-depth character study. Watched the film on cable but will definitely hunt down a dvd copy.

Agreed! It's not that I can't take it - I've seen plenty of nastiness and I know I can stomach it, but I don't really appreciate that emotionally drained / hollow feeling that comes afterwards. It's like I lost a bit of innocence and it takes a while before I am back to being my comfortable, old self. Sometimes, a movie may have some kind of value (thought provoking, director you're interested in, etc.) that makes the trade-off worth it. But in the case of A Serbian Movie, I suspect or fear that I would get little else out of it besides unpleasantness.

Cool, will keep an eye out for this :) Looks alright for light entertainment. But how was Knightley? She's attractive, but I'm not sure how I like her as a dramatic actress.

Freebase, what did you not like about it? It looks very exciting to me, but I am also a strict atheist who thinks of serious ghost hunting as rather ridiculous. I am, however, capable of suspending belief and so on when watching a movie .. which I guess is why I enjoyed movies like Avatar and Prometheus :p:

I saw it and think I even commented on it in this thread. It is the perfect feel bad movie :p:

The violence it depicts is really not what stands out as bad to me. Rather, it's the whole doomed feel of the thing, the subject matter, the atmosphere it creates and the feelings it stirs. I don't think it was a very hard watch, but I think going into it with the wrong expectations could lead to disappointment. Although I guess everyone knows by now that this movie's soul is pretty much pitch black.

I believe Von Trier admitted to being clinically depressed when making the movie and it shows.

Machete has been on my shelf for a long time now, but I've been sceptical. After reading this, I'm gonna bump it up on my list of priorities!

Sorry for the long post :p:

Her character is a bit of a quirky, weird, hipster type and so while I feel she could potentially have been a bad choice for a dramatic role, it mostly works out - by taking most of the dramatic focus away from her, she even provides the light comic relief at times while Carell is the straight actor.

Neither performance was particularly outstanding, but if you look at the film as light entertainment then I would say it's worth a watch. For example it's an apocalypse film but at no point does it even attempt to offer a back story, such as why the world is ending, it simply doesn't go anywhere near it. It offers stories of enduring loneliness, seeking companionship and family in the face of the world coming to an end.

I thought there was enough there to warrant an above average grade, more around the 7 mark or something. I would buy it on DVD or Blu Ray - if I found it at a cheap price.

The Dark Knight Rises

It was okay but not really the trilogy capping second coming everyone seemed to be expecting. I liked Joseph Gordon Levits character and expect him to transition into the comics the same way Batgirl and Harley Quinn did and I thought Anne Hathaway did a fantastic job as Selina Kyle. Tom Hardy's Bane was an admirable attempt at creating a menacing villain, but overall I just don't think it worked. Gary Oldman is still the best part of this trilogy, and funnily enough Batman is still the least interesting, although made better now that he was hardly in it. Overall while it's good that Christopher Nolan's trilogy redeemed Batman after the state Joel Schumacher left it in, I really hope his new incarnation in 2015 differs from this one.

The Avengers

Loved it, loved the action, loved the narrative, loved the pacing, and loved the chemistry between the characters, specifically Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. Loved how they paid homage to the source material and remembered that superheroes are meant to be inspirational to everyone, not just adult fans. Definitely excited about Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and Guardians of the Galaxy.

If anyone else watched this one Netflix, did you notice the sound to be really awful? Like when you have to have it cranked up during the talkie scenes? I found both of these films to be like that, The Dark Knight Rises especially. It was so bad I actually had to watch it on my PC with headphones so I could hear what the fu*k people were sayin.

Only God Forgives

This is a love it or hate it film. Nicolas Rending Refn is a visionary and a talent that is going to be making interesting films for years but he's going to stumble every once in a while. Yet, his stumbles are beautiful. It's like watching an olympic figure skater fall with grace. The film is gorgeous. GORGEOUS. It is also very brutal and benefits from a wonderful soundtrack from Cliff Martinez who worked with Refn on "Drive". Your eyes and ears will love this film but your brain is going to have some problems. First off it's very ambiguous and full of mysticism. The film was dedicated to Alejandro Jordoworsky and it shows as a lot of actions taken by the characters have no real meaning or reason behind them. There is no protagonist or antagonist and one of them may or may not be "God". These are a lot of questions without many answers which is why the narrative of the story falls flat. The film does deliver as I said on the eyes and ears and is full of twisted and disturbing scenes of violence and immoral actions. It's provocative without being obscene or trashy. It's a film that most audiences will hate but few will love. I'm somewhere in the middle and as always, looking forward to his next experiment with the camera.

3/5

Haha, I thought it was "OK" too. The narrative is flimsy to say the least, but it's an interesting watch (1x only for me).

Not flimsy so much as paper thin.

Nicole Kidman is also flawless in that movie. I'm not afraid to admit I absolutely love that movie, And own it also.

Exactly. Which is your first favorite?

Since when is paper not flimsy?

Thin and flimsy are not the same thing.

:clap:

excellent taste.

That's not what your mom said last night.

Paper thin stuff is pretty much always flimsy dog.

Why do you call it a love it or hate it film? Like me, you're in the middle. I suspect many viewers are the same. Also, maybe I'm being dense but I didn't see many questions - maybe one or two. I'm surprised that you found it ambiguous, the mystical part I can see. Also we agree on the GORGEOUSness of it. I suppose that's the best part.

Btw, I previously praised the violence of this film, but then I went back and re-watched Drive and found the violence in Drive to be much more brutal and entertaining.

Not that the two films should necessarily be compared, but I felt that the violence in Only God Forgives is probably its best feature (gorgeous brutality). So I was kinda sad for it when I found that Drive wins in the violence category on top of everything else.

Flimsy implies it's weak and could fall apart (plotholes etc). Thin just means there's not much there.

I agree with you on the violence. Much has been made of how brutal this film is, but the scene with the icepicks was the only really graphic part. Sure, overall this film is more unsettling with its violence, but Drive was more brutal and gory.

http://blog.bookrenter.com/wp-conten...vie-Poster.jpg

I saw 2 Guns last night and if you want to see a funny action movie this weekend. You should definitely check it out. Also ignore the trailer, it doesn't do the movie justice.

It has all the one liners and riffing off of each other that buddy cop comedies have but with none of the lame Ebony and Ivory type jokes. Even if you don't like that aspect of the movie, you should see it anyways for all the action sequences and the intrigue about what's going on in the movie. Both of them are undercover agents and think that the other is a real deal trafficker and that's all I'm going to say about it. Don't want to spoil too much.

I think that as time goes by it's going to be love it or hate it but that's a general term to describe films. There's always going to be people in the middle.

The questions that aroused for me are in spoiler territory...

I forget how to put spoiler tags on sh*t so just highlight

Was the cop really God? Was the murdered brother ****ing the mom? Why did Gosling want to be near his mothers uterus? What was his childhood like?

These aren't huge questions, but just holey-y narrative. Also I'd call the violence even with Drive. The ice pick scene made me squirm more than anything in Drive. Drive was more shocking though. It was quicker.

I saw this is a packed theater in an urbanized area. I expected to have a horrible time but I think the fact that I saw it with so many people better’d my experience because I ended up really enjoying the film. This is a tame rated R film but also a very creepy one that capitalizes on scares the never come off cheap and had me jumping on more than one occasion. The biggest reason I enjoyed this was because it actually had good acting. Horror movies always have interesting ideas that are either carried out half assed or are ruined by cheap “talent”. None of those factors were present here as Vera Farminga, Patrick Wilson, and Lilli Taylor were all fantastic in this. It made the film more believable and ultimately more watchable. James Wan gave us the first Saw which I’m grateful for because I still think that’s a great film and he’s now given us one of the better horror films to come out in the last couple years. Lets just see if his next film which comes out in two months (Insidious II) lives up to his recent success.

4/5

I know what you mean about the 'love or hate' thing but I disagree. I think film buffs will quibble forever about it, and that the neutral territory will win out.

I also believe that non-film buffs will deem it a "mediocre Gosling film" but, admittedly, I'm not great at predicting the future. And I feel that the ice pick scenes are only remarkable because of the talent of the actor who got the picks.

RE your spoiler points..
