The last movie you saw

[GONNAFISTYA]

The tension in The Hurt Locker was probably it's only real redeeming quality. It's the only thing that sorta "sucked me in" as well...but at the end of the day the film is pretty hollow.

I feel the same way about Paranormal Activity...there were a few scenes in that movie that had some tension...but overall the movie sucked hairy goat balls.

West World

Clicky

A robot malfunction creates havoc and terror for unsuspecting vacationers at a futuristic, adult-themed amusement park.

Showing its age now (1973 )

Still a reasonable watch 6/10

Great flick!

[Scourge]

Classic.

I have no idea why, but that reminded me of Rustlers' Rhapsody. Anyone seen that? I haven't in a long tine, but I remember it being funny when I was younger...

Battelfield Earth (1/10)

Dunno wtf I was thinking.
Well, I kinda do: I just wanted to know how terrible this movie actually *is*.
And it *is* fucking terrible.
As a comedy, it's pure gold, but knowing it wasn't intended that way is pretty depressing.
John Travolta, and a a quality actor like Forest Whitaker (is he also into Scientology? Nooo!), hamming it up, and being all queer, plus a script that's clearly written by a 5yo imbecile (Scientology cunt Ron L. Hubbard).
Seriously, the script felt like something written for an 80's cartoon show, like He-Man or Transformers.
Jesus christ, just watch it, if only because it's good to know what you're talking about, before dissing it.



The Road (8/10)

Excellent drama.
Really a different, realistic, human and bleak take on a post-apocalyptic world.
Not a father myself, but Viggo Mortensen's acting made me feel the burden of responsibility for a child in such dire circumstances.
Friends thought it was boring...but I was hooked.

I agree completely, it was utter shit. It was less than shit, it was an insult to every good sci-fi movie ever made. I think Scientologists are complete fucktards, but Battlefield Earth was one of the best sci-fi novels I've ever read. What a letdown that movie was, and what complete proof that John Revolta is a wankstain of a director.

Shutter Island: Saw it coming but worth the watch. 7 or 8 I'd say. They give you clues constantly and from the first lines, so turn your brain off and it's a enjoyable film.

True Grit

8/10, classic. funny too

The Coen brothers are remaking this and it'll be out late this year.

It's Complicated. 7/10

I'm not an Alec Baldwin fan but Steve Martin provides offset. He plays a serious role as an architect, but gets stoned with Streep and that is very funny - brings out the old Steve Martin.

Streep is an aging, not pretty, not sexy divorcee. You should be over 40 to enjoy this movie.

[MKJ]

you should also be looking away during the Steve Martin scenes to enjoy the movie.

cuz he horrible, old or new

pretty good application of the love movie formula. i had fun watchin it.

Defendor 7/10

surprisingly it was not a comedy, other than the apparent shortcomings of the main character.

after the iron cross I took a detour of the war movies to spec sam pecinpaws

Alice in Wonderland 4/10

Maybe this movie is fun for people unfamiliar with the books, but i thought it was weak sauce. The plot is substandard, the 3d effects (first time i had to wear one of those goggle thingies) are entertaining for about 5 minutes and then become highly annoying... i dunno, i left the theatre very unsatisfied. They should have just made a movie of the original, it would have been much better. Depp didn't save this movie, which is a rare thing... The only redeeming thing was the grinning cat imo, i chuckled every time he made an appearance.

Strike two for Burton imo, Nine was also pretty shit.

Also:
Lebanon 6/10

Film about a tank crew in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, on a mission to support some paratroopers to occupy a village. Some things are done well, some things aren't... Most of the movies consists of shots through the target finder of the tank, which occasionally zooms in on gruesome details and builds up tension nicely, and shots of the messed up cramped interior of the tank, which slowly drives the occupants slightly insane. You can almost smell the sweat and fear and diesel oil. All this is good.

Saw an interview with the director (himself a veteran of same war) and he said he wanted to show what impossible choices war puts on soldiers. The example he gave was "suppose you get information that 50% of the balconies have RPG teams and snipers, you end up blowing them all to bits. If you start checking them, you're dead before you reach the fifth one". Which i believe instantly, but for jesus sake, the tank crew when faced with a very similar dilemma refuses to fire a single shot in fear of killing civilians, the troops they are supposed to protect take casualties, hierarchy breaks down and shit is just very errr, humane. Which i don't think is the intention at all... it's like national pride on the directors part took the front seat to showing the immoral brutality of the conflict, which i took as a copout.

Beast of War, about a russian tank crew in afghanistan, pulled off the same idea much better.

Kingpin - Really can't get into watching this again. Either I've grown up, or it's one of those you have to see as a group, with popcorn 'n beer.

Law Abiding Citizen - Standard hollywood pap saved by Gerard Butler's really good performance, and some cool explosions and gadgetry. Nonsense, but enjoyable.

Judge Dredd - Lawl still a pretty good piece of arnie-like nostalgia.

30 Days Of night - Enjoyable horror stuff with vampires, minus the sparkly bullshit. The 'head' vampire dude was pure awesome.

Number 23 - meh

Boondock Saints 2 - FAIL ON EVERY LEVEL

Pirates of the Carribean: At Worlds End - Finally got around to seeing the last in the trilogy. Confusing plot but still pretty good. Really liked the bit where the ship went from the locker back to the ocean. Actors all seemed a bit tired.

Van Helsing - Junk

Predator - "Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."

[Stoner]

The Bridge on the River Kwai. 6/10 - This movie started off pretty good and I was enjoying it. But the last hour or so started getting dull and I found myself wanting the movie to end asap. Then the ending came and it was a really stupid ending IMO. It absolutely ruined the whole movie for me.

Dr. Strangelove. 9/10 - Very good movie. I first saw this movie in one of my High School classes around 8 years ago. It was much much better this time around for obvious reasons.

Once Upon a Time in America. 8/10 - This is a great movie even tho I wasn't a big fan of the ending. I'm a pretty big Sergio Leone fan.

band of brothers - 10/10 - looks (and sounds) fucking awesome on blu-ray. you can see every quiver of david schwimmer's lip
