I guess I grew out of it but it's probably part of why I always insist on driving as far as i'm able. Luckily handheld video shots never bothered me.

Blair Witch Project didn't make me motion sick, but I've had more problems with that kind of thing as I've gotten older. Cloverfield fucking killed me. It seemed like a good movie but it was hard for me to tell because I spent about half of it with my eyes closed, sweating pouring off of me, feeling like I was going to throw up. Ever since then I've avoided seeing those kinds of movies in the theater. I have the same problem with first person shooter games as well.

It is the same thing with Paranomral Activity. You go to see the first film in the theaters once for the experience of the audience gasp when the scare happens and then you are done with the movie and all other sequels of it. I guess if you are interested a little in some of the back story but bleh. Not worth it imo.

Been on a horror kick lately. Decided to run through the 2013 top lists for horror movies.

World War Z

It's actually a pretty good movie. The problem I find with zombie flicks are the concepts tend to lack originality. Lucky for this movie, while this is the case it's made up by thrilling, berserk, ferocious zombies on speed that overrun towns in a matter of minutes. At times it was like "wait, what the hell just happened?" Kept me on the edge of my seat.

7/10

You bitches is crazy. The best found footage film is Trollhunter. Period. Respectful nod to Quarantine.

I was just going to mention Cloverfield. I don't really get motion sickness any more (and when I did it wasn't anything major) but that was some uneasy stuff.

Spent the last two days watching and processing Nymphomaniac parts 1 and 2 curtousy of Bob. Holy ****. This is one I'll be talking about for ages. I shouldn't have to tell you to see this, and I'm not going to say anything else about it except that I majorly enjoy Lars.

The Sorcerer and the White Snake (2011)

Basically it's live action anime with a mixture of dodgy CGI, models, and practical effects, so if you're not into anime then you're not going to be into this movie, and even if you are... It's a unique feature and something that you need to be in the right mood for. It has the potential to entertain, but I don't think anyone's life will be changed by watching this.

Have you guys just been streaming it? I can't seem to find it in theaters and I live in a place where art theaters are in abundance.

EDIT: It's on VOD. I answered my own question.

Oh and while I didn't write a review for it since I've been busy packing for my move, just wanted to say I revisited The Station Agent last night. It always cheers me up. The best part is that the movie is set and filmed in the area where I grew up. My ex girlfriend lives five minutes away from the train depot and area with the houses and bars is a lake community that is a couple towns away. It's neat. Fans of GOT should watch it for Peter Dinklage alone.

Would you recommend seeing it on the big screen?

I'm actually glad I didn't. There are only a select few people I know who I could watch the film with comfortably, so a theater of strangers would likely be awkward and distracting for me. It's not a piece that needs the cinema, IMO, while visually appealing it's the plot that needs the attention.

Yeah, I was worried about that. I was pretty excited (not sexually) to see it in a theater though and I still might. I saw Dogville on the big screen and that made a lasting impression on me. I'm not sure what to do now but I'll probably see it at the theater that serves drinks and get drunk while watching it, thereby reducing my anxiety about watching filmed sex as I sit in a crowd of strangers.

I just have a hard time watching films in the theater in general. I spend all my energy hating the people around me.

I've seen this many times, but they took it off Netflix. Luckily.... free streaming!

Yeesh, I won't be forgetting this one any time soon. Imagine if the HBO drama Oz was set in a juvenile hall rather than an actual prison and you've got a pretty good idea of what to expect in this movie.

if i have the chance i'll catch a theater viewing....although there is a lot of sex....i don't think i would call any of it "erotic" at least none in vol 1....the film is so multi layered and the sex is so sterile and disconnected

I love when the brainiac sets up the radio to explode on the big viking looking dudes face. Also when his little brother gets run over that was a pretty dramatic beginning to a movie.

OOPS Spoiler. LOL

You know it was actually the scene where Sean Penn's character buys like 6 cans of soda, puts them in his pillowcase and just goes to town on the bullies, and doesn't stop even when it's clear they are not a threat anymore.

bob. 03-28-2014 01:49 PM

it's been a while since i've seen it....and i think i combined that scene with the end scene....or did he have a sock full of change at the end?

No it was most definitely the soda cans in a pillow case as pete said. That movie holds up surprisingly well. Esai Morales did a good job as well as pen.

LoathsomePete 03-28-2014 01:52 PM

I think it was change, but I was pretty fucked up on shrooms last night. Definitely not a good movie for that kind of experience...

I thought he used the change to buy sodas and then pillow cased them with the sodas.

bob. 03-28-2014 01:55 PM

yeah i remember the pillow case scene.....but i swear in the end fight there was a sock involved :)

yeah Pete psychedelics and movies about a boys prison sounds like a bad combination :)

hell....just thinking about this movie makes me scared of juvenile hall

LoathsomePete 03-28-2014 01:58 PM

It was soda in the first scene, but in the final fight between Penn and Morales it was change.

What's funny was I thought we were going to watch the Michael Bay movie so I had settled my mindset into a dumb action movie, but when the music started I knew it wasn't what I thought it was.

Non-Stop was a great movie. I highly recommend it.

It's been quite awhile since I saw a movie as entertaining as Non-Stop.

Also, I withdraw my claim that movies today are no longer intellectually stimulating, because THAT movie was!

My movie experience was also perfect because no one talked during the movie and there was absolutely no disruptions.

One of the greater movie experiences I've had.

V/H/S

Speaking of found footage films, I usually really enjoy the ride but this is really ****ing hard to watch. The constant shakiness and tune-in-and-out of the camera made for eye and head sores I had to stop 3 times while watching it. I understand the way it's filmed lays emphasis on the shock tactics of these short horror stories which worked well, but is overdone.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

There is only one word I can think of to describe Wes Anderson’s latest film. That word is “delightful”.

There has not, to this day, been a Wes Anderson film I did not love. Every single one of them is special in my eyes. Had I known absolutely nothing about this film, I still would have had no doubt in my mind that it was directed by Wes Anderson. He has a style all his own and that has been copied by almost nobody. There’s something about that kind of niche that I just find enchanting. Enchanting could also describe this film, which stars more of my favorite people then I think any other film I’ve seen. I mean, look at that list of people who contribute to this film. It’s an indie film fan’s dream come true. I’m going to spoil something a little bit. Some of those names have such little screen time that I’d be surprised if they spent a full day on set, but the whole picture is empty without them. Everything about the film enchanted me. There are rarely times where I have a smile on my face throughout an entire film, and Wes Anderson has done this to me multiple times, this just being the latest.

In one of his more complex stories he has brought to the screen, the film takes place, during many time periods, in and around The Grand Budapest Hotel, located in a fictitious Polish town during times of war. During these time periods we are introduced to two characters whose friendship is the reason this story is being told. M. Gustave, played as perfect as anybody could play any character by Ralph Fiennes, and his protege lobby boy Zero, played at an old age by F. Murray Abraham and at a young one by a breakout actor named Tony Revolori, are the centerpieces of an intricate yet vastly profound story. M. Gustave has just inherited a small fortune from one of his hotel guests whom he has developed a relationship with and the immediate family of said guest is trying to get rid of him for their own greedy ways. Like always, I don’t want to give away much of the plot but that is pretty much the gist of the film and you’re going to have to find out the rest for yourself.

When “Moonrise Kingdom” came out last year, I thought to myself that one one Wes Anderson was going to cease being able to bring us fantastic cinema. I guess this is just some innate idea that at some point people start to decline but Anderson is proving that wrong by giving us some of his best work as his career continues to move forward. There is n doubt in my mind that he’s going to be making incredible movies until he dies of old age. This latest one is something special, but certainly has some of his traditional trademark qualities. One of the things I love about his work is how symmetrical every one of his shots are. There is a fluid way he moves the camera into the perfect position where we have an actor centered in front of the screen with nearly identical lines surrounding him. Perhaps it’s my OCD leaking through my eyes. I just can’t gt enough of it. He also utilizes the shots from a distance that he has been using since Fantastic Mr. Fox. We see some characters off scurrying along the base of the shot while behind them is a huge scene of mountains or buildings, obviously made of cardboard and paper, but nevertheless whimsical and charming. The wit in this film is also rampant. There were countless times I literally burst out laughing, mostly from either Ralph Fiennes or Adrian Brody saying something insane. The film, which is rated R, uses the perfect time and place to insert either bad language, or in some cases hilarious and crude nudity. It was a riot, and while I didn’t see the movie with a lot of people, the humor was felt all around. Everybody was laughing. It’s a hilarious film.

With such a talented cast, you can’t let everybody have a huge amount of screen time. There just isn’t enough time in the world. Everybody was pretty perfect though. Tilda Swinton was literally unrecognizable as an 84 year old woman. Willem Dafoe was a cold, evil man that almost seemed to turn into a vampire at one point in the film. Jeff Goldblum handled most of the legal dialogue with a diction that only the voice of Jeff Goldblum could make funny. Edward Norton gave the best laughs with the least amount said. His first appearance in the film had my dying and he hadn’t even said a word yet. Harvey Keitel as a bald, muscle flexing prisoner with prison tattoos and Adrien Brody with his short bursts of hilarious anger could not have been better used. I just loved every single aspect of this film. Every single character has their own quirks and humor no matter how long they were on screen.

Overall, I can’t say enough good things. Ralph Fiennes stoles every single scene he was in and he was in a damn lot of them. That’s how good he was. When “Moonrise Kingdom” came out, I knew that it was going to be in my top five of the year regardless of what else got released because of how unique and funny it was and I honestly enjoyed this a lot more. I’ll try to get out to see another viewing, maybe with some friends, but this is most certainly going to be one of my favorites of the year and is already inching it’s way up the ladder of favorite Wes Anderson films the more I think about it. I seriously can not wait to see it again and look forward to everything Wes Anderson will give me in the future.

5/5

The opening 10 minutes of Irreversible will damage you for life then! The sound effects and music (designed specifically to cause nausea due to the frequencies used) coupled with the (literally) dizzying camera work is close to excruciating.

bob. 04-02-2014 07:10 PM

ALL of Irreversible will damage you for life....great movie though....and yeah you have never seen insane camera movement until you see...really the first half hour of Irreversible

i am in no way shape or form homophobic....but this movie made me afraid of seedy gay clubs and afraid of anybody who calls themselves "the tapeworm"

On second viewing I did find the film questionable at times regarding Homophobia and Racism but it is an extraordinarily powerful film.

His debut film Seul Contre Tous (I Stand Alone) is up there with Taxi Driver in terms of visceral power and is a little easier to watch (only a little!). His film Into The Void has never been released here due to it's content, would love to see it.

Thanks Bob!

I appreciated the story line. I really did it reminded me of May.
That and I am tapped out on ghostly horror films. The plot was different, abd 8 worthy.
