They could make money off of any movie if they simply named it Pirate Wereworlf Alien Cheeleader Assassin
dont forget zombie space marine sniper
Thought I'd add my 2 cents:
Saw someone mentioned 21 grams, by the same chap, amores perros is a great movie too. Which also got me thinking of City of God, friggin awesome movie. You don't notice subtitles after 5 mins of wathcing a good movie which has them, providing you can read of course.
And didn't someone say they hadn't watched the usual suspects, I would pay good money to have my memory of that movie removed so I could watch it agian.
And best stupid boys cheesey action movie ever - Bit Trouble in Little China!!!!
George Romero got a new movie coming out: Survival of the Dead... Zombieland obviously and Adventureland by the guy who made Superbad. All in theaters right now or coming up.
I went to a double feature of Bad Lieutenant - the original and the new Herzog Movie. The original started at midnight and I had to get up early the next day, so I skipped the new one. If they aren't going to show it again outside of the Vienale I'll be pissed.
If you got film festivals around you - browse through their program... they feature loads of crap, but for the couple of really good ones that you might not ever get to see on a big screen again, it's worth it.
Please watch Fantastic Mr. Fox. You can even take the kids. So money.
anyone seen The Road yet? I really wanna see this.
So I've been meaning to watch that movie "Evil," that wufwugy keeps blabbering about.
...pretty fucking good. I second wufwugy's recommendation.
Mad, mad respect for my boy boog. He passes the test, unlike the rest of you clownshoes (excluding mcat for watching Celebration). It is 100% impossible for me to like non-awesome movies. All I can say
I'm a little spaced right now, but I'll think up another recommendation that cannot fail
And it shouldn't have been called Evil. It should have been called 'Erik Ponti pwns the shit out of everything'
I watched a few good movies over the Christmas holiday. By far the best was "Central Station," a Brazilian movie about a boy who loses his mother in a traffic accident and a cranky old spinster who reluctantly agrees to help him look for his father after she sees that he won't make it on his own. The dialog and the development of their relationship during their journey are just fantastic, with none of the clumsy, predictable plot twists that you'd expect from such a common storyline. I'm sure this is going to be one of those movies I'll watch again and again.
I also watched "Eat Drink Man Woman" which had been on my list for awhile but I finally got around to it. It's hard to summarize its plot in a couple sentences, as it consists of loosely related short scenes involving a Taiwanese father and his three daughters. The style was great, especially the cinematography which was beautiful. Watching it made me feel a little happier to be alive. I'm definitely going to look into some more movies from Taiwan.
The other good movie I saw was "The Third Man," a post-WW2 thriller with a ton of awesome and unpredictable plot twists.
I think I may have seen Central Station. If it's the one I'm thinking of it was good. The thing is that I watched highly regarded, obscure movies about 3x a week for over two years, and I've forgotten many of them. I do remember some from Central Station though
Mcat, you may like films by Kar Wai Wong. I don't, but that's not because he's not a good director, I just don't particularly care for his storytelling methods. He is a very talented director, though, and others find that they very much enjoy his storytelling. One thing I remember about him is that he does extremely interesting camera work. Most of the time I found it annoying, but some of the time it was absolutely brilliant.
I personally have a difficult time with Asian cinema since I have difficulty telling the actors apart. I guess that's part of why my favorite Asian films are the ones with very few actors like Dersu Uzala, Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring, and 3 Iron; or ones with very recognizable actors that stand out like Mifune or Nakadai in just about anything (Miyamoto Musashi, Seppuku, Ran, Sword of Doom, etc)
Speaking of not liking directors even though they're talented. David Lynch probably takes the cake for me. I don't like any of his movies except for one, which I love. Straight Story, but that's because it was the only one where he actually didn't do all his weird stuff that makes me dislike all of his other films in the first place. The guy is a superb director, but man I cannot even sit through any of his films other than SS. You couldn't even tell SS was directed by him though because it's just so different, and, uh, normal.
Saw Avatar tn, enjoyed myself, plot was as expected... same Hero With a Thousand Faces story, but the overall message and everything was cool. Nothing too creative but had a good night!
I just watched Swimming With Sharks. What a great movie. Kevin Spacey was A++ in it.
28 Days Later was overrated.
Avatar was alright. Not 2nd best selling movie of all time (or 1st?) good, but it was still pretty cool.
Well titanic isnt really that great of a movie either.. when a really good movie ends up being a blockbuster its somewhat of a fluke. Blockbusters are blockbusters because they have such broad appeal and they dont turn anyone off (this is why animated "kids" movies do so well.) And its pretty hard to make an amazing movie that manages to please everyone..Quote:

Re-watched A History Of Violence and Eastern Promises while waiting for the next Cronenberg film.
It has been way too long :'(
In Bruges was surprisingly good.
Request: More pot movies
Land of the Lost was amazing when smoking pot.
I saw Cloverfield high in theaters. It was the best.

wow, book of eli was a hudge letdown. The more I see of denzel washington, the less I like him. Im really glad I just downloaded that shit and didnt go pay to see it. Theres absolutely zero character development in that movie, and the fictional world they created wasnt believable/impressive enough to carry the movie. I mean, it wasnt street kings bad, but it was def a let down.

god Role Models was so funny. Is Zombieland supposed to actually be good? it looks so bad/cheesy in the trailers.
bad/cheesy is part of the humor and pretty much the gist of the genre. I liked it. Have you seen Sean of the Dead?
Zombieland was pretty awesome
I actually found Zombieland to be a huge let down. As far as joke Zombie movies go Shaun of the Dead was much more funny.
So I got some time to catch up on movies today.
Hurt Locker was amazing. In all ways.
Fantastic Mr. Fox was amazing. Voice acting was really good and the movie was just warm and enjoyable.
The Invention of Lying was high concept but not that good. Despite his amazing stand up, it kind of made me like Ricky Gervais a little less.
Saw Army of Darkness for the first time last night and man, that movie was miles behind Evil Dead 2 and the original
Two very good movies from my part of the world(Argentina) are:
1- "Nueve Reinas"
2- "El Secreto de sus Ojos"
BTW, theres a remake of "Nueve Reinas" called "Criminal" if any of you has already seen it. Id like to hear what you think of these movies. They are really good IMO.
I just watched The Hurt Locker, and was extremely disappointed. I suppose its well acted, but it just has no story. It's one of the most frustrating movies I've ever watched because the whole time I was trying to figure out what it was about.
You're wrong, it was an awesome movie. That's basically all they do. There are bombs everywhere and those are the mofos that go out and disarm them. No story needed to depict the lives of these guys. Everyday someone finds a bomb and everyday they go and disarm it.
renton shared his views with me on this movie and it makes me want to watch it now.. but because I dont trust his opinion, but because everyone else seems to disagree so I wanna see whats up.
I loved Hurt Locker but from what I understand the realism is fucking awful
i thought that this was going to be on poker movies
just saw a poker movie on cable
new with burt reynolds
noit very good
When it comes to poker movies you have two choices - Rounders or Cincinnati Kid
You have to be kidding me. One of the best cameos of all time. It was such a fun watch while drinking beers with a few buddies. My roommate bought it on DVD and I think we've watched it 5-6 times since.
In other news, I saw Shutter Island. Cinematography was great, movie was pretty good for the first 90 minutes.
LOL Shutter Island. Good for maybe the first 45 minutes.
Shutter Island I thought was alright. I thought the punchline was unraveled with good pacing and credibility and the acting and directing were top notch ldo
Downloaded and watched Cinci Kid. Not a poker movie. They were playing Stud.
Alice in Wonderland is epic bad, even when watched using StonerVision. Definitely don't recommend.
I know, sorry guys. I was really excited to go see it, but it bores you to tears (or sleep in the people in front of me's case). I really expected a lot more from Tim Burton, but what can you do. Jonny Depp was excellent but thats kind of a given.
youre a pretty big retard dranger, so Im probably gonna get high as well and pay 20$ to see it in imax anyways.
Haha agreed. Hope you have more fun with it than I did. :(
Just watched Flight of the Valkyrie last night for the first time. It's been out for a while, but DAMN is it a good movie. Probably my favorite Tom Cruise movie after Cocktail obv. ;) If you haven't seen it yet, go out and watch it.
talladega nights
shake N bake
YouTube - Talladega Nights - Prayer to Baby Jesus
I downloaded and watched "Precious" and I really enjoyed it.
Its a story about Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey helping an abused fatass black girl from Harlem.
