2/10

thats generous, it wouldve been 0 if not for the very last scene. probably the worst acing ive ever seen, and every horror flick cliche in the book.fucking terrible

Read a bit about the budget, age and expertise of the guys who made it, you might appreciate it a bit more.

Marie Antoinette 7/10

It was pretty good, BUT.....could have been better, she tried to be experimental, then back peddles. The score for instance, sometimes the modern music worked great...
(though,one moment in particular it was retarded.)
Then the score resorts to period piece opera...
Nice costumes, not eough french people.....and the eding fucking sucked.

Open Season...in IMAX 3-D. 7/10

The Imax 3d part was fucking awsome....the movie....just okay....funny, but not half as funny as Madagascar.

"Four years ago the Melbourne film school friends were broke, but managed to scrounge $5000 to shoot one disturbing scene from their Saw film script involving a woman in a head-crushing bear trap.

DVD copies of the scene were sent to Hollywood studios and producers, with Evolution Entertainment snapping up the rights.

In the deal of their life, Whannell and Wan rejected an upfront payment from Evolution and chose to take a share of Saw's profits, a decision that made them multi-millionaires.

Saw, with Whannell starring and writing the script and Wan directing, was made in 2004 for just $US1.2 million.

It opened at number one in the US and went on to make $US103 million at the worldwide box office.

Last year Saw II, costing $US4 million to make, again debuted at number one and took $US144 million at the box office."

i thought saw was excellent. they way is jumps from suspicious char to the other is fun (unless you think you have it all figured out, then you feel dragged along a path of misinformation. until the last scene that is). and the whole psychology behind a sober doctor who starts going insane is spineshuddering material, IMO

oh, and having the credits come in while the movie is stull running owns too, gives it this 'endless' feel

Anyone seen Flags of Our Fathers?

Going by their box office numbers I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who's seen that movie.

Fathom the hilarity if they removed the 'L' from the title.

FFS, I didn't mean just in scenes where they were physically present. Each time they were mentioned, I thought about how awesome they were.

Post by **SplishSplash** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 12:55 pm

And do you do this all the time or just when you're watching a WW2 movie?

And how were they "awesome" exactly?

Post by **Captain** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 12:56 pm

I did it when watching Enemy At The Gates (although a bit historically inaccurate in some scenes). There just wasn't a more powerful and loyal army than the Soviet Red.

Post by **SplishSplash** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 1:01 pm

oooh, we have a soviet fanboy on our hands.
Well, keep dreaming I guess.

You need to read Antony Beevor's books Stalingrad and Berlin. For reasons of intellectual prosperity, general awesomeness & a greatly enhanced sense of perspective.

Coincidentally, that movie changed my outlook on sex scenes in films. I used to feel that every sex scene in every movie was stupid and boring, just taking away momentum from the rest of the film without adding anything useful. But the scene where Vasily and his bird get it on just breathes realism and romantix in a good way. The way they're messing about like beginners is just cute

Made me warm and fuzzy inside, it did.

Do you know why they call them the 'incredible' Mets?

Because they're so incredible.

i dont care about the budget, saying that a movie is better because of the financial shortcomings with which it was made is just basically giving it sympathy. dostoevsky was living in extreme poverty when he wrote crime and punishment, he was actually writing against a deadline with a mean bastard of a publisher and he was doing it out of necessity, he need to write to eat. thats a situation where the artists financial background could be taken into account when assessing his work, Saw is not. Saw is just crap, tries to be sinister and clever but it just fails. imo
