Has anyone else seen " Comrades, Almost a Love Story " or " Sweet as Honey " as I think it's called in some places.

Chinese film, really really good. I have not been able to find a place to buy that shit online or torrent it or anything. If you like romance, definitely check it out.

[Vegett0]

I'm definitely keeping an eye out for Martyrs.

Not bad. I'm surprised they brought all of them back.

*Random* I thought of Licence to Kill during that chase. :wonder:

Watch that a long time ago, didn't that come out in the early 90s...I think i got the dvd...

[goodm0urning]

i'm so down for the movie, not down for the violence. i never was a pussy to films until last house...dunno what it was about that movie, but it changed how i viewed horror films. it was like having a bad experience, after it, i stopped watching violent films for a while. i know for some of you, last house is a disney special, but i remember it effected me even a year later when i watched audition...I hated Last House. It wasn't the violence, so much as the fact that the violence was pretty gratuitous. The movie was so generally poor that it didn't justify the violent scenes, which were imaginative enough that it might qualify as the first torture porn.

[ChairHome]

Anyone watch CJ7? I liked it, cute, funny film.

[coco_j]

rcaido, interested in selling?

[P. Gorath]

had trouble sleeping again last night...

[angryliberal]

jesus pg...i have to say, you have officially made martyrs the movie i wanna both see the most right now and never watch ever at the same time...but in the end, i know i'd never stomach it and never make it to the ending, especially if the last 30 are as intense as people have mentioned...

btw, has anyone seen miike's new film yet? the one with tarantino...i'm wondering how it is. i'm a HUGE fan of miike's work, but i'm rather skeptical about it...

[SuicidalGrandpa]

Y'all are into some scary ass stuff. That House film sounds like a Saw ripoff.

[BudaFuka]

had trouble sleeping again last night...

Wow.

[angryliberal]

Y'all are into some scary ass stuff. That House film sounds like a Saw ripoff.

last house on the left?! you can't mean that, it came out in 1972...and is a "remake" of the virgin spring by igmar bergman...

oh, and it's an effing masterpiece compared to any of the saw films...

[angryliberal]

gotcha...i'ev heard they are remaking last house several different times, but i've never seen any conclusive proof of it.

I saw it a while back, I remember liking it, though I do need to watch it again as we were drinking and such.

I also really want to see Martyrs now, I love any movie that pushes your buttons, bad or good ones. The first time I saw Oldboy, the ending felt like someone kicked me in the nuts.

[P. Gorath]

oh yeah, I noticed that Criterion has released a new edition of SALO on dvd.

Back when they first started doing dvds, Salo was one of the first ones (spine # in the top ten) and was also one of the first to go out of print and could be found on ebay for hundreds of dollars for years afterwords.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

block buster has a $10 off coupon

augappreciation

its once per account but you can keep making new accounts

used dvds are free shipping, new are ~$3 shipping

i picked up each of the horror fest dvds for $4 new

all together i got about 70 dvd's for $200 shipped, most of them new

[P. Gorath]

i picture sigley sleeping on a bed made of dvds, eating on a table made of dvds, etc

[angryliberal]

i wanna know how often he actually goes back and watches dvds he's already seen. he uses dvd sales like most people use netflix...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

more like how many of them do i actually watch

i'm so far behind i think i need to take a year off and watch 8 hours a day to catch up

if i only bought movies i rewatched my collection would be:

die hard collection, undeclared, arrested development 1-3, any romero movie, back to the future trilogy

and thats about it

[angryliberal]

do you seriously just watch every show i do?

with the wedding all of 18 days away, i'm sooooo behind on my netflix movies...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

haha i think we just watch good cable tv shows (madmen, californication, weeds, i love most stuff on FX esp the shield/rescue me) and the office and how i met your mother

though i really like the terminator sarah connor chronicles even though its super cheesy. just went through the bluray in one night, couldn't stop watching. thats my guilty pleasure TV show that has horrible writing and acting but you can't stop watching since jericho got canceled.

oh yea sucks waiting 1 year for weeds s4 on dvd, it looks like the last two episodes are going to be epic

damn once you get married you'll never have any time i think

[angryliberal]

we've been practically a married couple for the last four years...and we're not having kids for at least 7-8 years...i'm in no rush to be a parent.

i didn't know you were a fellow AD fan...though, i would call myself slightly more than a fan...i'm obsessed with that show...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

oh yea i love that show, i try to turn people onto it just so i have an excuse to watch the entire series again

every girl i date now its like, have you seen AD? no oklets watch it

i didn't really like it at first when s1 was on fox, but i started getting into it during season 2 then went back and enjoyed s1

think i was half watching it the first time and just didn't give it a chance

[goodm0urning]

if i only bought movies i rewatched my collection would be:

die hard collection, undeclared, arrested development 1-3, any romero movie, back to the future trilogy

and thats about itBeing in college full-time and working only part-time, I have a pretty thin wallet, so I have to be a little choosy with my collection. My criteria are basically these: can I live with just renting this on the infrequent occasion that I'd want to watch it, or must I absolutely have it? Is this a title that I'd want to watch strongly enough that I need to have it on hand? Is this title of high significance to my life?

If I had to pick any one title to save if my collection were going up in a blazing inferno, I think I'd pick Taxi Driver. That's with the caveat that you might get a different answer out of me if I make a similar post six months down the road.

think i was half watching it the first time and just didn't give it a chance

yeah, i try to turn on everyone i can to the show, but they have to be people who can get into comedies that take 2-3 watchings to fully get. when i started watching the show, i would miss episodes here and there and never get why it was so funny. then when s1 came out on dvd, i really got into it...by the end of season 2, i was a full blown addict. i can say without flinching that it is the best sitcom ever put on television.

mine would be: Die Hard 1, Excalibur, RoboCop, The Fly, Conan the Barbarian, Amadeus, the Indiana Jones trilogy, Monty Python, one of the Bond collections, some Bertollucci stuff, Blade Runner Final Cut, and some samurai and kung fu movies. I could never really get into any of the Die Hards after the original. Like they were good action flicks and had their moments but the series lost something without Alan Rickman.

[P. Gorath]

thought i would bring to your attention a few movies that are playing in theaters now that you should check out:

Bottle Shock - Best reason to see this is for Alan Rickman who plays an english wine connoseur who wishes he were French and goes to California to get some napa valley wine for an international taste test. based on a true story. Also stars Chris Pine who will be playing Kirk in the new star trek. It's like Sideways but the opposite in tone.

Baghead - One of my favorite movies of the year. Is it a comedy? Is it a horror movie? Go see for yourself and find out.

What We Do Is Secret - biopic of Darby Crash, frontman for LA punk band The Germs. Not the greatest movie but fun nontheless.

Red - Brian Cox stars in this movie that is like Death Wish except instead of his wife getting murdered it's his dog. Very quality movie. Opens on Friday.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

tomorrow i'm going to see: the house bunny, college, the rocker and disaster movie back to back to back to back to win a bet

if i don't return its bc my brain exploded or i committed suicide as a result

[P. Gorath]

which is sadder..that you are going to see those, or that you own worse on blu-ray?

right on thanks for this disclosure, im always looking for new good shit... i saw a preview of baghead a while ago looks really good so will check it out, but it is not playing anywhere in my area...

imouti

[Dirt Mc Girt]

which is sadder..that you are going to see those, or that you own worse on blu-ray?

well usually with the worse on blu ray i can just turn it off or fall asleep

to win the bet i have to just watch all of these and coherently recap the plot to all of them

gonna be hard but i'm planning on getting a good night sleep, wake up early and hit the 10:20am showing for college so hopefully i'll be done around 8pm

[angryliberal]

i'm very interested in seeing baghead. i watched the trailer when you posted about it before, very intrigued...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

yea i wanna see that too

but now i live in SIN CITY and the theaters out here suck and it looks like LA is a far drive unlike the 20 min train ride to NYC when i was in nj

[angryliberal]

you live in vegas now?

[Dirt Mc Girt]

yep just moved here

found someone to buy all my businesses for a decent price along with their properties so selling them. house in nj is sold, all my stuff is in storage and waiting to be driven over bc it'll cost way too much to ship. going to do that in a week or so

still have no furniture in vegas though, been sleeping on my floor

[angryliberal]

i see. any reason you picked sin city?

[Dirt Mc Girt]

i've been betting sports for about 6 years now "professionally", so figured i'd move to vegas where i could get more volume down on games since i wasn't able to get down as much money as i wanted on the internet. i couldn't move bc i owned al ot of businesses in NJ, but someone came through and said he'd buy them all for more than i valued them at. so i sold them a couple weeks ago, paid off any debts i had on them and banked the rest.

plus in NJ my 600k house got me .5 of an acre and i had 25k in property tax/year, here with all the foreclosures i got a huge house with a pool/jacuzzi in a gated community for less than that bc the bank foreclosed on the property and the property tax is really small

[angryliberal]

nice. well, at least a monthly trip to la to catch some quality cinema wouldn't be that difficult...it's like a 4 hour drive or something...i'm sure pg knows. i can tell you it's 4 1/2 hours from san diego with a clear 15...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

damn still rough

if you guys are ever in vegas let me know, i'll take care of you and pg

[angryliberal]

well, i'll be out in dec for my 30th bday...me and my girl try to get out to vegas like 2 times a year just to get away...

[P. Gorath]

You are seriously in Vegas? Or is this another sigley story? Shit I'll keep you in a steady supply of screeners of unreleased movies for a place to stay on the weekends

[Dirt Mc Girt]

no ir eally do
i've always wanted to move here but i couldn't bc of too many obligations in nj, so i took care of that

now i can be a degenerate gambler and lose all my money and end up working at a tourism business

oh yea i finished authoring 2 of those films i bought to DVD and they look really good. i had someone to sell it but now they went out of business :( xploitedcinema

my house here has 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths so yea you guys can stay

i got no chick right now either so i don't have to clear it with anyone

[EvilSamurai]

I'd like to see a Death Wish-style film with Alan Rickman w/ him carving a mugger's heart out with a spoon. That would be awesome. I was pissed that he didn't get to do it to Kevin Costner.

[angryliberal]

yeah, i asked if anyone saw that yet, but got like one response, and it was vague at best. i want to see it because of miike direction, but i hear the use of japanese actors doing an all english script can make the enjoyment less than tolerable. i've heard reports of three viewings to understand what people are trying to say...i dunno, i'll still see it.

[P. Gorath]

I've had a screener of it forever but havent watched it yet

i own it on blu ray already so don't have to bring a copy

its an alright movie, i had the same problem with understanding the actors

every scene with QT is horrible and should of been taken out of the film

i heard they were going to dub the japanese voices over with other actors to make it seem like the old spaghetti westerns, but dunno what happened to that

i had the same problem i had with planet terror is that it tried so hard to be a homeage to this type of films but it just wasn't working. it didn't feel natural

off now to see 4 great summer comedies with a couple people !

oh pg did you ever see directors cut of miami vice???

im outi

Roberth

[P. Gorath]

yeah that's the only version I've seen as I missed it in theaters. I liked the movie. It was awkwardly structured and paced but it had the same kind of permeating darkness and moroseness that I enjoyed in Collateral.

[angryliberal]

dark city is one of those i've been meaning to watch for some time now...maybe after the wedding when i have nothing but time...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

i got dark city, but haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. really want to but for some reason i never put it in.

of the four crappy comedies if you had to go to one i'd say the house bunny. it's alright, couple of jokes, lot of hot women, but no one gets naked which is a tease. anna faris needs to get naked ASAP before she goes jennifer love hewitt on us

college is a big rip off of any teen movie in the last couple of years except they just curse more and show gross stuff like shit in a toilet or shots off of hairy guys. sucks.

disaster movie. didn't laugh once, theater was cracking up though, don't understand it.

the rocker. i always though rainn wilson is good in short doses and as a side kick (kind of like how he's michaels sidekick on the office), this movie kind of lends evidence to that. his characters get old quick and turns into annoying. will arnett was the funniest in this movie but he's only on screen for a couple of minutes. more movies need will arnett.

prolly rank them house bunny > rocker > college > disaster movie

[angryliberal]

more movies need will arnett.

one of the bonuses of arrested development was discovering will arnett. have you seen the conan's with him as a guest? fucking classic together...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

man that threesome scene in vicky christina barcelona is pathetic

its just them kissing and nothing else

i was hoping for penelope with the strap on on scarjo

good movie though just got back from it

[P. Gorath]

heh...would that even be playing if you were back in jersey?

[Sixshot]

Dark City...lol..


I remember when that movie came out, this one girl I was fucking with said it made her think of me. I have no idea why exactly. But for some reason she wanted to give me head real bad after seeing it in the theater. Strange (yes i axeptid)

[angryliberal]

so, while my girl was out with her friend yesterday, i watched dark city and hellraiser 2. dark city was amazing, i really want to watch it again. hellraiser, not so much. i had the same problem with hellbound as i did with the first hellraiser - it didn't seem to be properly focussed or paced. i can ignore the 80's effects, but something about the way the story plays out just seemed less than spectacular. also, the story seems rather unfocussed at points...

edit: hellraiser is one of those stories i always felt had a really good idea that never got done properly.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

heh...would that even be playing if you were back in jersey?

yea there was a couple theaters by my house that always got movies like that. i think vicky christina got a semi wide release, ~700 theaters

there was one theater too that only played movies that appeal to older women. when batman was hot they didn't have it, instead they had mama mia on three screens. weird shit

one highlight of the weekend is disaster movie is going to gross under 10 million, maybe that will stop them. and college is going to gross under 4

[HeaT]

so, while my girl was out with her friend yesterday, i watched dark city and hellraiser 2. dark city was amazing, i really want to watch it again.

ya man dark city is one of those movies that you gotta watch again to catch things you didnt catch the first time...the movie was just so well directed and the cinematography was on point straight from the opening scene where he was in the bathtub hahaha...too good...

watched All The Boys Love Mandy Lane tonight. Thought it was crap.

[MiLky]

I really want to see Martyrs, don't know how long it will be until I get to see it out here. I watched Last House on the Left a few days ago, never seen it before. I can see why the movie was crazy for its time, still gave me some chills. Just got done watching Inside, that movie just drained me. Once it started it didn't let up, at all. It was pretty fucking intense, I bit off most of my nails.

Any other good recommendations of similar movies to tide me over?

[angryliberal]

i'm sure pg has a host of movies for you to explore...

if you haven't seen it, i suggest audition. oh, also irreversible.

Viggo might get an Oscar this year. He should have won for Eastern Promises as Day Lewis sometimes went way over the top in There Will Be Blood. Lots of deserving people might get nominated this year.

- Best Actor could be Frank Langella (aka the 3rd best Dracula of all time) or Viggo.
- Best Supporting Actor will go to Ledger but Downey Jr or Franco could get nominated which would be awesome.

[BustaWolfe]

Saw this sleeper called In Bruges, it was recommended by one of the guys from Roger and Ebert. Great movie, took me by surprise as Collin Ferrel was hilarious in it.

[goodm0urning]

Watched The Station Agent at ne0phyte's behest, and ended up loving it. This, combined with The Visitor, has firmly placed Thomas McCarthy on my radar.

[angryliberal]

peter dinklage from stationj agent is in this small budget called living in oblivion, with steve buscemi and katherine keener - amazingly funny movie.

I ended up seeing Traitor last night. Was pretty decent, intense theme, and an interesting story but the people behind us seemed to be 20 yrs. old, but the maturity level of someone in middle school. Pissed me off when they're making stupid comments they assume are witty during the super-srs climax.

[capcomANDsnk]

has anyone seen "The Fall"? i know the visuals are crazy but what about the story?

[Chozen1]

I will look into irreversible, haven't seen that, I own Audition already. Thanks for the recommendation though. I'll await Mr. Gorath's movies then.

irreversible you will like, I own it & must say it's a bit awkward at first but just watch it & see for yourself :razz:

has anyone seen "The Fall"? i know the visuals are crazy but what about the story?

my friend andf i were talking about this recently. he said the visuals and concept were very good, but the story had soem weak points in it, but overall, he gave it his recomendation...

[w1r3d]

I liked The Fall a lot. I'm not a movie critic or anything though.

[angryliberal]

so, burn after reading, is it gonna be a raising arizona or an intolerable cruelty? look likes it could be a miss for the coens...sometimes their comedies fall flat, and sometimes the excell and make even a shitty actor tolerable. you know who i'm talking about...

[orochizoolander]

The trailer make it look like a royal tanenbaums-esque comedy with a spy movie flair, I'm seeing this opening night:tup:

Which is worse; screamers or 2001 maniacs?

2001 maniacs by far. Screamers is pretty good, although the fx are pretty dated

The trailer make it look like a royal tanenbaums-esque comedy with a spy movie flair, I'm seeing this opening night:tup:

Which is worse; screamers or 2001 maniacs?

ummm screamers was actually good hahaha...

It resembles the Big Lebowski to me, which is a good thing. I can't think of a better 90s comedy.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

big lebowski is one of those movies where i watched it and was like sucked, then everyone loved it so i watched it again and i still think it sucks.

john goodman was awesome and jesus, but besides that hated it

coen brothers do need to work with nicholas cage again though. saw a sneak preview of bangkok dangerous last night and it sucked so bad

maybe bc i was a teenager then, so if i rewatch them they might not be that funny, but my favorite comedies of the 90s are: groundhog day, what about bob, kevin smith movies, BASEketball, sandler (yea i still like him even though every movie is the same)

the more stupid type, don't need to think comedies

though BASEketball was kind of deep

[SuicidalGrandpa]

Nicholas Cage has to be one of the worst actors out right now, and yet so many people love him. It's unacceptable.

Nicholas Cage has to be one of the worst actors out right now, and yet so many people love him. It's unacceptable.When he's good, he's very good. But he's usually neither.

i don't think he's ever been "good" in my opinion...he's just been less offensive...

zack and mirri red band trailer is out. look like typical kevin smith dialog meets the apatow crew comics - all about making amateur porn. basically, everything i could want in a movie.

http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/zack-miri-make-porno/red-band-trailer

there is no nudity in the trailer, just bad language.

[goodm0urning]

i don't think he's ever been "good" in my opinion...he's just been less offensive...He does a fine job in both Adaptation. and Bringing Out the Dead. Though I do feel like I'm repeating myself, since I think Cage's name has come up several times in this thread.

burn after reading has gotten mixed early reviews so far (http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/08/28/coen-brothers-burn-after-reading-gets-middling-early-reviews/)There is no way in hell I am not going to see this movie.

seth rogens fucks sound pretty forced and ungenuine

but smith has to have 200 of them in every script for some reason

[angryliberal]

yes, smith loves the word fuck. a lot.

well, to be honest, i hate nic cage. he could put in the performance of a lifetime and i'd still call it shit. i hate everything that he choses to be. except raising arizona.

just let the movie stand on its own and why do you need your name on its own part in huge letters

Variety.com just posted a review of the new Arronofsky movie, THE WRESTLER with Mickey Rourke playing a washed up pro-wrestler. This was the best script I read last year and I have had high hopes for it. Looks like he delivers


The Wrestler

Talk about comebacks. After many years in the wilderness and being considered MIA professionally, Mickey Rourke, just like the washed-up character he plays, attempts a return to the big show in "The Wrestler." Not only does he pull it off, but Rourke creates a galvanizing, humorous, deeply moving portrait that instantly takes its place among the great, iconic screen performances. An elemental story simply and brilliantly told, Darren Aronofsky's fourth feature is a winner from every possible angle, although it will require deft handling by a smart distributor to overcome public preconceptions about Rourke, the subject matter and the nature of the film.
Co-produced by Wild Bunch in France, where Rourke has retained his most loyal following through thick and thin, this is nonetheless an American picture through and through, beginning with the way it strongly evokes the gritty working-class atmosphere of numerous '70s dramas. Spare but vital, and with the increasingly arty mannerisms of Aronofsky's previous work completely stripped away, the film has the clarity and simplicity of a great Hemingway short story -- there's nothing extraneous, the characters must face up to their limited options in life, and the dialogue in Robert Siegel's superior script is inflected with the poetry of the everyday.

All the same, for the first few minutes one could be excused for imagining the film was directed by Belgium's Dardenne brothers, as ace lenser Maryse Alberti's camera relentlessly follows around aging wrestler Randy "the Ram"
Robinson (Rourke) from the back, concentrating on his long, dyed-blond hair and hulking body before fully revealing his mottled, puffy face. This guy is 20 years past his prime, but he's still in pretty good shape and aims to get back on top on the pro wrestling circuit.

Ram seems to have always been a big fan favorite -- he is one of their own, a fearless bruiser the white working stiffs can root for against the assorted freaks, ethnic interlopers and outright villains in this macho cartoon universe. A beguiling early scene that firmly sets the movie on its tracks shows an event's muscled participants, all warmly easygoing and chummy with one another, pairing up and discussing what moves they'll make in their matches. A similar later scene has one of the wrestlers offering Ram his choices from a laundry list of dubious-sounding pharmaceuticals.

Apart from the momentary camaraderie of his ringmates, however, Ram is alone in life. At the outset, he's also penniless, locked out of his dismal trailer home until he can pay up. He works occasionally, lugging cartons at a big-box store, and his tough-guy posture is adored by small kids, but he's got no friends and nothing to show for his strenuous efforts.

From time to time, he has a drink at a gentlemen's club, where he visits aging stripper Cassidy (Marisa Tomei), whose days of using her body for her livelihood are similarly numbered. After getting a load of some of Ram's battle scars, Cassidy, whose real name is Pam, tells him he ought to see "The Passion of the Christ." "They threw everything at him," she says, to which Ram guesses Jesus must have been a "tough dude." Ram must confront his mortality after the film's second wrestling match, a bout so gruesome and barbarous it will force some people to look away.

Assessing his options while recovering, Ram decides to gently step up his relationship with Pam, as well as to try to reconnect with his daughter, Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood), whom he hasn't seen in years. Both women have good reasons not to allow such a damaged man into their intimate lives, but even their most tentative signals of openness give Ram reason to hope for a new chapter in his life. His encounters with them are sensitively written and acted with impressive insight and delicacy, and Ram has one monologue in which he lays his feelings bare to Stephanie at a deserted old Jersey boardwalk -- "I deserve to be alone," he admits -- that is so great, one wishes it were longer.

After a stint at a deli counter that is the source of more good character humor, Ram decides to unretire and fight in a 20th-anniversary rematch of one of his most legendary bouts, "Ram vs. Ayatollah." Despite the hoopla, the way it all plays out is as far from "Rocky Balboa" as one could get, resulting in a climax that is exhilarating, funny and moving.

Shot in rough-and-ready handheld style, pic atmospherically reeks of low-rent lodgings, clubs, American Legion halls, shops and makeshift dressing rooms on the Eastern seaboard in winter (it locationed in New Jersey and Philadelphia). Stylistically, it's agile, alert and most interested in what's going on in the characters' faces.

And that is a lot. Physically imposing at 57, with a face that bespeaks untold battering and alteration, Rourke is simply staggering as Ram. The camera is rarely off him, and one doesn't want it to be, so entirely does he express the full life of this man with his every word and gesture. Ram's life has been dominated by pain in all its forms, but he's also devoted it to the one thing he loves and excels at, so he asks for no sympathy; he may have regrets, but no complaints.

As vibrant -- and as naked -- as she was in last year's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," Tomei is in top, emotionally forthright form as she charts a life passage similar to Ram's, if much less extreme. Once her character stops stonewalling her father and hears him out, Wood provides a fine foil for Rourke in their turbulent scenes together. The many supporting thesps, especially the wrestling world habitues, are richly amusing and salt-of-the-earth.

Yea I'm probably going to go despite having to work at 5 the next morning... might go see The Wrestler this sunday also.

[P. Gorath]

yes...wrestler will be god tier. will probably be a hard ticket to get (dunno how it works with locals) due to the industry buzz and it still being an available film

[DarkGiygas]

well i did the rush line for JCVD and that was ok, might have to try that if it ends up being sold out

hoping mickey rourke will be there

[Ki Shima]

you should check out XXY if you ever get the chance to see it, its an excellent argentinian film and the title should explain everything :rofl:

[OrangeCat]

Two films to talk about that falls show of awesomeness:

Hamlet 2

Funny film if it wasn't for the comedy snob/oddball of my friend weened on the teet of Christopher Guest movies. It's not the most hilarious film, but who am I to fucking think that since I've voiced my opinion that I laughed more in Get Smart than Tropic Thunder. However with Catherine Keener, it really made me think of this film as being the secret evil bastard sequel mirrorverse version of 40-Year Old Virgin.

The humour you really have to bear through a few things to get some of it. There are some dated references, so oh so expected plot twists and plot points but it's like one of those stories that is just like every other story that you hear about your friend being drunk; but there's just a small little twist that makes it above average but NOT great.

Since it is from the co-writer of South Park the movie and Team America, it's basically a wonderful cumilation of their musical acts in live action. Rock Me Sexy Jesus is catchy of course,
Rape me in the Face is totally reminscent of Everyone has AIDS from Team America
And while it does try it's best to offend, it's more fun that parody. I'd say it's a great film to see at theatres just because it makes the musical numbers better and seem more live, but a solid renter if you run out of options.

SukiYaki Western Django

This film is basically the ultimate experiment in theoretical filmmaking. Japanese actors phonetically reading english lines sound awesome, cowboys in a Japanese setting sounds fucking awesome, Tarintino being directed by Takeshi Miike sounds awesome (depending on how much you like the former or the latter) but it's really a film that fall short of being 100% grade A awesome.

If there was anything to watch this film for, it's the aesthetics and secondly it's wackiness. It's probably the most solid portrayal of a real life anime which seemed totally unintentional but resulted in some pretty awesome fucking scenes. Basically said, this film gives a bit of hope in a Cowboy Bebop film being totally possible at least visually and there is one scene which is totally lifted out of a particularly memorable Bebop moment.

Half of it's charm and detriment is the fact that the phonetically spoken English basically makes a dub sound authentically Japanese in terms of rhythm of speaking. It translates well but had the dialogue been spoken by an English Speaker, it would be the cheesiest shit you'd ever see. A semi-great film to see if only once but by no means the most excellent film that it could theoretically could have been.

[bokchoy]

I somehow got suckered into watching Bangkok Terrible today. One of the worst films I've ever seen.

[capcomANDsnk]

^the original was good, the main character was a deaf mute. the remake had nic cage...

[SNAAAAKE]

just watched mutant chronicles :woot: good-ass movie actually(thanks rcadio). mix of sin city/resident evil/matrix. much better than so many random garbage out now. I am surprised there was no theoretical release.

dark city was good too..jack bauer in sci fi flick is random as FUCK lol..

"unbreakable" was pretty good too. bruce willis and sam jackson is usually auto win. I dunno how I missed this one.

[DarkGiygas]

so the wrestler was beastly, really depressing though except for the deli scene which had me dying

rourke killed it, so did marisa tomei (she cant really be 43)

[goodm0urning]

[angryliberal]

do the coens ever do audio commentary?

[goodm0urning]

do the coens ever do audio commentary?I don't think so. I remember reading something about Joel (or Ethan? I forget sometimes) stating that he doesn't like audio commentaries, and that he couldn't imagine himself finding stuff to talk about for the entire running length of a movie.

[angryliberal]

yeah, i thought i had heard that also. audio commentary is usually teh prime factor in me pruchasing a dvd i already own...

[goodm0urning]

yeah, i thought i had heard that also. audio commentary is usually teh prime factor in me pruchasing a dvd i already own...Yeah, I repurchased Taxi Driver primarily for Schrader's commentary. I am disappointed that the Coens don't partake in the tradition, but I'd be interested to know what the new featurettes have in them. I'm not sure I'd rebuy it, but it might be a good rental.

[HeaT]

so i saw this movie The Wackness with ben kingsley the other day. that shit was pretty good, suprisingly good...its like a comedy/drama movie...im excited cause the independent theater that i saw this at is supposed to be showing baghead so i will be going to see that when it comes out...

i was really looking forward to Benjamin Button but early buzz is pretty bad, the movie might be too long and there's drama between the studio and Fincher. lame.

i still say benjamin button has meet joe black written all over it

yea celia's other daughter who disappeared after the pilot

they were trying to get doug's kid too but he's in another movie

supposedly silar might get shot up bc he's in a big play in england or something all next year qand the creator said a main character dies

though i have no idea how nancy can survive, yet there's a season 5 and 6 coming

[angryliberal]

i know nothing about s4, but i'm guessing things are getting crazy. it's just like the end of season 2 when you had no idea how nancy was gonna survive with silar having all the weedin his trunk with the cops quickly approaching...

the people she's involved with now isn't going to be that easy. the end of this episode ended with a huge torture scene with blood and skin flying everywhere, but i'm sure they'll think of some ridiculous way to get out of it

seriously, just watched it last night. that show is so well written and acted. the scene when cosgrove was having dinner at salavtore's house...the way his wife just kind of sat back down as he walked cosgrove to the door, that insecurity and concern underlying the face she obviously puts on, just amazing. it's the subtle moments like that just put that show so far above almost everything else on tv...

mad men is the highlight of my life right now

so bored in vegas, last night i had over 20k riding on various wnba games and i spent it watching Detroit Shock/Phoenix Mercury on ESPN 2 and mastturbated during the 2nd quarter to womens basketball. then streamed the seattle game over my computer to masturbate to sue bird at night

then we'll make it for dirt cheap and make 100 million like him

i think we should all thank THE SHIELD and FX for making cable tv shows step their game up, that show was really the pioneer

FX FX GOT THE MOVIESSSSSSS

i made mad bank on the wnba last night too which made it nicer busting to sue bird late as she covered the 2H seattle spread easily with her fine looking self, but i'm getting raped right now on international basketball

the emotional swings are horrible

Downloaded Ultraviolet on the PS3 tonight. I had high hopes when it came out in the theater since I am a fan of Equilibrium. Thought Ultraviolet sucked ass when I saw it.

Year or two later, giving it a second chance. Milla Jovovich is still hot, the movie still sucked major ass. Who wrote the fucking dialogue for this, it's worse than a messed up speech to the public for the first time.

[angryliberal]

ultraviolet was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. and i don't mean in that "armageddon is a bad movie because i hate hollywood blockbusters" way, but actually one of the worst films ever. i could never keep up with where that film was trying to go, and the main character was so broken, it wasn't even entertaining. it's like neo after the first matrix films...it wasn't even interesting to watch...

saw burn after reading last night at a sneak peak

part of it reminds me of those ocean movies where there seems to be an inside joke and you just don't know about it cause the actors are "improving"

some scenes are pretty funny and the story line is pretty ridiculous, but just didn't really like it

[P. Gorath]

ultraviolet was a lot better than aeon flux

Martyrs screening was last night in toronto. apparently some woman got up to puke in the first ten minutes...but didnt make it in time and puked all over somebody. then some fans got pictures and showed the director after the screening

[angryliberal]

i never saw aeon flux, mostly because i was a fan of the liquid tv cartoon and had no intention of seeing a live action version of it...even though charlize is super hot.

[SuicidalGrandpa]

Escape From New York was mad top tier :tup: Really enjoyed it.

[TGC]

ultraviolet was better than aeon flux? Both were pretty shitty but ultraviolet was ULTRASHIT, i can't believe they even tried to get her to talk vietnamese because i couldn't pick out anything she tried to say.

[P. Gorath]

honestly I like Ultraviolet more than Equilibrium

[angryliberal]

really? i just could not get into ultraviolet. me and my girl just kept looking at each other with that "should we keep watching this?" look. ultraviolet and strange wilderness are two of maybe four movies in my life i just wanted to turn off five minutes into them.

while equilibrium is full of horrible plot holes and inconsistancies, i enjoyed it much more than ultraviolet. though a bit misdirected itself, it felt more concise than ultraviolet. ultraviolet just never knew where it was going, like they had ideas for special effects scenes and tried to string them together into a muddled piece.

[P. Gorath]

I guess knowing it was so awful going into it I just sat back and enjoyed it for what it was, versus Equilibrium where everyone was talking about how it was hot shit and I watched it and it sucked.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

yes just got shipping notifcation for speed racer blu ray

Just saw Burn After Reading last night. Awesome movie. One of the best of the year in a year full of good movies.

[SNAAAAKE]

^ randomest shit EVER ! randomness is the new trend in movies now. it was pretty hilarious though. not as good as pineapple/tropic but close.


righteous kill was pretty good too..predicable plot but I didnt have high expectation anyway so its all good..

also watched "two hands" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145547/
Heath Ledger always delivers and Rose Byrne is super cute in this :tup:

[Lobelia Mk. IV]

really? i just could not get into ultraviolet. me and my girl just kept looking at each other with that "should we keep watching this?" look. ultraviolet and strange wilderness are two of maybe four movies in my life i just wanted to turn off five minutes into them.


There are three kinds of movies with Milla Jovovich.

1. Hackneyed, slapped-together, horribly done pieces of shit, the focus of which is mostly to show that Milla Jovovich is a talentless whore who should be in porn as opposed to real movies.
2. The Fifth Element.
3. Dazed and Confused.

[Sixshot]

I have to say I back what Lobelia said right there about 90%. The porn part, 120%.

so close but wrong. she was in dazed and confused, which does not fit either of those criteria...

Oh yeah, she was in that movie, wasn't she? My bad. I haven't seen Dazed and Confused, but I heard it was good shit. I fixed my post, though. Better?

[angryliberal]

who hasn't seen dazed?! c'moin, do yourself a favor and just go rent it. for nothing else, it's worth it to see a matthew mcconaughy movie that doesn't suck ass hole.

[Lobelia Mk. IV]

a matthew mcconaughy movie that doesn't suck ass hole.
Does not compute.

[P. Gorath]

Dazed should be watched at least once a year, preferably with American Graffiti or Fast Times

[EvilSamurai]

Does not compute.

Also has Ben Affleck in it and he doesn't suck.

Does anyone watch The Stoned Age? It was like the b movie version of these classics, so bad it's awesome. Haven't seen it in years, but have fond memories of it in the background.

Just some dude.

I think 2008, so far, is one of the best years in movies in a looooong time, and I usually diss a lot of movies that come out. I agree that there were not a LOT of good movies, but I thought the movies that were good were really good. Plus, Oscar season is starting so a lot of Oscar contenders are coming up within the next month or two.

As for Burn After Reading, I think it's one of the best films this year. I may be biased because I just really like Coen Bros. films. They're artsy, yet simple. The way they deliver comedy is so unique. I wasn't crazy about some of the acting, but the plot was perfect and delivered perfectly.

[Lobelia Mk. IV]

Also has Ben Affleck in it and he doesn't suck.

So lemme get this straight...this movie has Ben Affleck, Milla Hovobitch, and Matthew McConekfhejfhsjldfhlkasjdfglkasdhf in it, and NONE of them suck? I mean, Ben Affleck I can believe, since I saw Dogma. But....Jesus. I need to see this movie.

[angryliberal]

you must not watch family guy, because seth mcfarlane references dazed and confused almost as much as star wars and indiana jones...

ya i realize that, im just excited thought cause it looked cool from the previews cause you couldnt tell if it was a scary movie or a comedy or what...

Top Tier: Wall-E, Dark Knight, Burn After Reading, Iron Man
High Tier: Hellboy II, Kung-Fu Panda
Mid Tier: Wanted, Rambo, Indiana Jones
Low Tier: Clone Wars, Jumper, 21, Speed Racer , Forbidden Kingdom
Bottom Tier: Meet the Spartans, 88 Minutes, 10000 BC, Never Back Down
Bangkok Dangerous Tier: Bangkok Dangerous

Seems pretty average, but I rank Wall-E and Dark Knight among my all time faves.

I haven't seen Tropic Thunder yet, and the Oscar-season is just barely starting so tons of good shit to come. Quantum of Solace too.

[SNAAAAKE]

top tier: pineapple express,tropic thunder and FUCKING RAMB:mad:!

high tier: hancock,incredible hulk

indiana jones should be bottom tier.

so i saw baghead...

i really like it, well written screenplay...i knew what was going on through the whole movie so i wasnt really shocked at the end but if you dont pay attention you'll probably be suprised...

probably one of the better movies i saw this year and i liked it more than burn after reading...

[Dirt Mc Girt]

saw the promotion

it was alright, wish they spent more time on john c reilley's character though

i thought they should try to paint both people as deserving of the promotion, but it came off as biased towards sean william scott

not as much of a comedy as i thought it would be

[BIGWORM]

who hasn't seen dazed?! c'moin, do yourself a favor and just go rent it. for nothing else, it's worth it to see a matthew mcconaughy movie that doesn't suck ass hole.

Matthew is such a pimp in movie. I bet the sideburns made women cream.

RoberthInteresting and worth watching. "Amazing" might be pushing it.

[bokchoy]

Interesting review, but I see the movie in an completely different light. Here's my synopsis...

While it is considered a "comedy", the main enjoyment movie isn't to laugh. You'll probably laugh harder and more often in a pure comedy, like Tropic Thunder. I don't compare this movie to The Big Lebowski; I think it has more similarities to last year's big Coen film, No Country for Old Men.

A common theme in Coen movies is their side of the whole philosophical debate of free will versus predestiny. The Coens side with the notion of predestiny over free will, in which people don't truly have a choice over what they do and what becomes of them. They feel that, like everything else in existence (living or non-living), a peoples' actions is not a series of choices, but simply a series of chain reactions that we are powerless over. We are preprogrammed robots and we are simply governed by our motivations. Our actions aren't decided by a "soul" that makes us different than other creatures. Our every action is simply a domino in a never-ending chain of dominoes: what happens only happens because of what happens before it, and governs what happens after it.

This is the theme in No Country, and this is the theme with Burn After Reading. If you've seen No Country before, every character in Burn After Reading is basically Llewellyn Moss, someone who's plagued by his human motivations and doomed to their destiny because of them. However, in this movie, every main character is motivated by something different and unique to them.

-Frances McDormand (Linda) is motivated by her vanity, and needs to get the money for her cosmetic surgury.
-Brad Pitt is motivated by the irresistible allure of fun and adventure, and his idiocy.
-Ted is motivated by his unrequited love for Linda.
-John Malkovich is motivated by anger and his incessant need to get revenge on everyone who has wronged him.
-His wife is motivated by greed. She wants to divorce him, but needs his financial information to ensure that she doesn't come away empty handed.
-George Clooney is motivated by lust and sexual adventure.
-The Russians think they're dealing with something strategically important and hope to gain leverage on the Americans.
-The Americans also think they're dealing with something important, and try to prevent the contents of the disc from compromising the CIA.

Of course, unbeknown to everyone involved, the contents of the disc is completely worthless and unimportant. However, all of the characters' destinies intertwine because of it, resulting in the ensuing in chaos and hilarity. The movie ends with the CIA officials reflecting on the a "clusterfuck" of bullshit that happened over a disc of worthless information, and struggle to find something to learn anything from it.

Going back to the theme of free will versus predestiny, the Coens are basically saying that, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to what happens. We're just a bunch of dominoes waiting for nature to take its course. They convey this through a comedy that isn't really supposed to make you laugh (although several scenes do), but make you smile and shake your head at.

what a lame cliche ending to weeds season 4

oh well at least you got to see nancy botwin naked again

another good Mad Men. Mrs. Draper is fuckin Don's shit up. Sig I hope you stocked up on Utz before moving to Vegas

[Dirt Mc Girt]

utz are awesome, my old girlfriend and i went on an utz tour before

haven't seen them out here though

is it an east coast only thing?

[Arsenal]

Snow Angels

Nice character movie, subtle performance by Sam Rockwell really clinched it for me. Kate Beckinsale was woefully miscast in this movie, however.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

oh yea if anyone is in vegas and wants to get drunk, i have literally hundreds of free drink tickets

every time i place a bet at a casino they give me 2 free drink tickets [alcoholic drinks] with no expiration date.

i only drink water so no use for them

[SuicidalGrandpa]

has no one noticed jovovich in he got game?

prob spike's best. good ass movie.

I haven't seen He Got Game, but I'll go rent it tomorrow after I watch the two-movie haul from the rental store last time.

Better than Do The Right Thing? (I'll admit, being white and living in a mainly-white state meant that some of the subtle messages and scenes escaped me)

Edit: And if anyone is a fan of documentaries and/or slightly interested in Breakdancing, go rent/buy Inside The Circle. Dope ass movie, and it was really nice to have perspectives and words from breakers. :tup:

[HeaT]

so i saw The Fall again this time on dvd...they have 2 pretty good and long behind the scenes special features and it is interesting how that dude directs, he is pretty intense...he made the little girl in the cry with is intenseness, it made me lol...

i wonder if it got released on blueray and how rediculous it looks...did you pick this movie up sigley??? and how big is the tv that you watch your movies on???

i still think this is one of the best movies of the year, it will definitely go on my top 10 when this year is over...

This is what had me confused. People were either shit talking The Fall or they were making it sound beautiful. I wasn't sure if it had been worth the Film Festival ticket prices.

[Sixshot]

what did you guys think of beowulf

just curious

[Dirt Mc Girt]

never seen it

heard it was good in 3D though, dunno why they didn't release a 3D home version

[Sixshot]

Well i just watched it like, the whole way through

..i throught it was pretty awesome, in general. 8.5/10

My favorite scene is the end by far. With cg angelina jolie in the water....love the music in that scene. Best scene in the film easily. Maybe 4/5 stars for that scene alone :smokin:

[VruS]

i just finished watching Felon. Stephen Dorff was great, Michael from LOST was great, and fat Val Kilmer is too strong. fans of 'Nadia' from 24 (Marisol Nichols); it's in your best interest to watch this.

everything here is true. I copped Felon just to see val on scene again, and he delivered, as well as the rest of the cast. This is a surprise hit.

Also makes me never want to become a co :rofl:

[P. Gorath]

yeah Felon was surprisingly good as long as you can get past the ridiculous setup. Kilmer was very subdued.

I was watching Harsh Times on showtime the other night. love that movie. People rag on it but Bale's performance is great and all of it just rings true. Plus some great LA scenery. Hilarious lines all throughout.

Watched this old movie called Equinox that is one of the inspirations for Evil Dead. Apparently there's even a criterion dvd of it. Pretty crappy overall but had some good stuff.

Got drunk and watched Martyrs again last night...keep finding new stuff. slept like a baby this time.

My dvr messed up so I only watched 60% of Shooter but that was enough.

Would be much more inclined to go see Lakeview Terrace if it was R

Anyone watch that Echo Lake trailer I posted?

[Dirt Mc Girt]

that eden lake trailer looks pretty good.

i will never see lakeview terrace even on blu-ray

the trailer is so bad and annoying it just turned me off from the movie completely

plus i think i'm beginning to hate samuel l jackson

i liked harsh times too, dunno why everyone hates on it

the only thing is, in 1960, i don't think you want to be a woman getting divorced, especially from a man like don draper...i missed the first five minutes of the episode this week, but once again, i was overly impressed by it.

caught no country again this morning while waiting to check out from our resort in the dominican. i really love that movie, chigurgh has to be one of my fave movie antagonists ever...
