Anyone see the korean movie 'memories of murder' (Salinui chueok) going to get that next.

Been meaning to see this one for a lo0ng while, I've heard good things!

Just watched Last of the Mohicans for the first time in ages.

Forgot how violent it was, still one of my top 20 movies ever, possibly top 10.

[Conspicuously Absent]

Shawshank Redemption: as good as everyone says? Let me know.

 

[Russell]

IMO yes.

Just saw the proposition. Pretty much what I was expecting for a film written by Nick Cave - not a whole bunch of laughs, but good. I liked the fact every character was equally despicable...

Shawshank Redemption: as good as everyone says? Let me know.

its excellent

due to boredom here at RC i was forced to go to the gym, look at bikes, ipods, and other assorted shit. i stopped by the movie theater to see how much time i could waste there. The Hills Have Eyes remake was showing but not for an hour....so i came home.
my point here is has anyone seen it? and my other question is: what is the fucking deal with remaking every horror movie ever made? i think *i* might remake one.

Shawshank Redemption was excellent, one of the better movies I've ever seen.

Shawshank Redemption was excellent, one of the better movies I've ever seen.

agreed!

top 5 ever for Shawshank ... Freeman's narration alone should have won him an Oscar.

Shawshank is top 10 for me too. The scene where red is in the field looking for the special rock is one of my favs.

Just saw Memories of Murder. Based on a true story of one of S.korea's first serial killers and the 2 detectives trying to find the killer. Throughout the movie you also see some of Korea's political situation (military rule). Really great cinematography and atmosphere throughout. Usually movies based on this premise are run of the mill, but the director/actors made up for that. Highly recommended.

"Shawshank Redemption" was just plain awesome. In fact it's also among the best of the few Stephen King novels I read (maybe just topped by "Shining"). Also best jail movie along with "Midnight Express".

Just saw "Nausicaä" and it was very good. You get all the sterotypical character classes of a Miyazaki story and the music is still horrible at the best of times but as usual I found myself sitting through it with much amazement. I'd say it ranges halfway between "Laputa - Castle in the Sky" and "Princess Mononoke" in terms of world/technology settling and ethical issues.

I always associate 'the green mile' with shawshank
similar sort of vibe and pace and another good jail movie

 

[lurch70]

The Green Mile utterly dissapointed me after Shawshank, had such high hopes for it too ...

Saw THE WEATHER MAN ... fucking Nick Cage ... if he does another sappy character like this, man o man ...

 

[dorian gray]

no one commented on my horror movie remake question. im surprised. wheres jaykeeley?

 

[lurch70]

I hear The Hills Have Eyes Too ... is pretty damn good, been getting good reviews even from Horror buffs ... certainly the trailer looks fucking scary.

 

[dorian gray]

i never saw the original

 

[Chromatose]

^ NEED to see that movie. I love Park Chan Wook. In the gay way.

and now that I've finally gotten around to seeing Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance..

it is certain, I, too, am gay for Park.

 

[lurch70]

yeah, by far the best director coming out of Asia since early Woo ...
