This looks trippy as fuck and the soundtrack is AMAZING. It'll probably be a shit film, but visually and audio-wise, it ticks all my sweet spots.

Ye gods, it's amazing how much Quake 3 has affected my mind, even after all these years. I initially saw that freeze frame and thought you'd posted a DeFrag video brisk :tard:

50/50 ~8/10

surprisingly well played. it feels like it shouldn't be that good because of Seth Rogen's often callus humor and personality, but it actually gave a sense of reality to each scene.

In Time.

Don't know what I was thinking.
Well, the premise sounded vaguely interesting: people stop aging at 25, and then have 1 year left on their "life clock".
(How this is biologically brought about is never explained. Nor is the "time-trading" by touching arms bullshit.)
I was hoping for some Children Of Men-like stuff, but seeing how it stars Justin Timberlake, that was a bit naive.
I have nothing against him as a popstar; he obviously has musical talent, but branching out into acting is a mistake. Poor guy can't act for shit.
Same goes for the chick, Amanda Seyfried. Not the musical talent bit, but the not being able to act for shit bit (although incredibly hot).
The whole thing turns into a fairytale, where they actually achieve to "beat the system", which is as unbelievable as said system.
Again, this premise could have been so much more, but now has been deduced to poppy mediocrity.

obsidian wrote:Moon - 8/10

Sam (Sam Rockwell) is two weeks from the end of his 3 year contract as the sole operator of a moon based energy harvesting facility. His only company is an emoticon-faced AI "GERTY" (Kevin Spacey). Though excited to be returning home to his wife and daughter, the emotional toll of 3 years of isolation causes Sam to start hallucinating, seeing other people, and causes an accident that sets off a series of unforeseen events and consequences. Sam finds that he is either going crazy or maybe he hasn't been as alone as he had thought. His difficulties are compounded by corporate greed and GERTY restricting his actions.

The "twist" isn't meant to be much of one as it reveals itself pretty early in the movie. The brilliance of this movie comes with Sam contrasting between being emotionally defiant and reaching the fragile breaking point. He struggles to keep himself sane, and to find a way back home requires personal sacrifice and bravery.
my brother told me about this movie after he had seen it in the cinema. It sounded very interesting but I totally forgot about it until you made this post.
Watched it last night. Excellent movie, Sam Rockwell pulls this off very nicely.
I expected GERTY to be a bit more antagonistic though, they couldve almost made this movie without his presence.

The director Duncan Jones is a nice guy too. He's a complete net nerd, always on twitter posting interesting stuff. You can tell he spent all his daddies pocket money growing up, living in a complete geek nirvana of toys and video games. He even made a thread on IMDB after Moon came out, thanking everyone for watching it.

Source Code is pretty good too, though it should have ended on that freeze frame. Those who have seen it will know what i'm talking about.

I used to hate Sam Rockwell as an actor, and by my own arrogance, as a person, so I was going into this movie already totally disappointed.
Well, long story short , his performance in this instantly changed my mind about him...now that's a pretty strong performance :up:

I loved him in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and thought he was funny as hell in Hitchhiker's Guide. I'll have to check out Moon...

Rockwell was awesome in The Green Mile and scene-stealing hilarious in Galaxy Quest.

Super = 6/10 - Surprisingly violent, even for a black comedy. lol Ellen Page is a crazy rapist.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo = 5/10 - Meh. Another film with another rape scene. I guess screenwriters and directors are bored these days.

The Grey: 7/10 - Not the most original movie ever, but very compelling and genuinely frightening. I almost had a few heart attacks whenever the dogs came out, sometimes it was a little predictable though.

Take Shelter: 8/10

Michael Shannon plays the lead.
You know him as the awkward, self loathing Agent Van Alden in Boardwalk Empire.
That's how I came across this movie in the first place; by imdb-ing him.

Deals with one of my favorite movie subjects: insanity, or rather the ambivalence about whether someone is indeed insane, or if their conceptions are in fact based on reality.
(Jacob's Ladder, Black Swan, American Psycho, etc.)

The movie is pretty long and slow, and some will find it boring, maybe.
Not me, though. Michael Shannon's performance is excellent, and with BE and this, he's definitely one of my fave actors.

Yeah, totally. TOO BAD IT'S AN ADAPTATION OF A NOVEL. the whole thing is about "men who hate women." what were they supposed to do, leave out the parts where the men commit acts of hatred toward women to be more original? :tard:

Incendies 8/10

French film (or is it Canadian) about two siblings each receiving a letter from their departed mother, telling one to find their father that they never knew, the other to find their brother they never knew they had. The mindfuck at the end of the film is well worth it, the fact that you slowly see it coming only adds to the feeling of 'oh god no!'. Well worth seeing :up:

Saw this in the cinema. Great movie.
Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.
