I <3 Huckabees was most awesome, I agree. A lot of people found it pretentious, which I suppose it is, but since when is pretentious bad? My #3 movie of the year behind Eternal Sunshine and Garden State.

PRIMER

Everyone needs to see this so we can have a discussion about it. Totally strange flick in the tradition of Pi and Cube ... about a couple of guys that build what seems like a time machine.

really, really different film ... needs repeated viewings

"Vera Drake", ok it wasnt as divine as "Secrets And Lies" but it was perfect. Imelda Staunton gave one of the 3-4 best female performances evah!@!@

HOTEL RAWANDA ... not bad, was expecting a little more after Nad's tearful confession, but the flick felt a little flat.

Definetelly NOT recommended for people participating in the Argholsent threads

Just saw "I <3 Huckabees". I'm not a movie fan by any length, but that movie was fucking cool. Anyone else seen it, or has it already been discussed?

That's one of my favs in recent times.

I'm about to watch Hero.


Last 2 nights, I've seen Ocean's 12, and Meet The Fockers. Both were dissapointing.

 

[lurch70]

HERO was awesome ... and i am not usually amazed but these type of Asian flicks.
Ocean's 12 was really lame and forgetabble ... Fockers had it's moments, but felt more like a sitcom then a movie.

yeah, I enjoyed Hero. I want to see House of Flying Daggers. Still haven't seen Crouching Tiger.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I just saw "The Grudge", and I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight.

 

[MFJ]

Sorry, but I thought The Grudge was terrible...

@Marksveld
Hehe, I thought so too. But now, everytime I look around my living room, I see that horrible girl's face, and it really creeps me out. But yeah, not a very good flick, but it still scared the hell out of me (not that that's very hard).

 

[Krilons Resa]

HERO was fucking awesome. Visually stunning to boot. Imo, better than Crouching Tiger... I'm gonna get House of Flying Daggers tomorrow.

i agree ... liked Hero better than Crouching Tiger as well ... but I had enough, passing on Flying Daggers.

Lurch - have you seen Gummo? What the fuck is wrong with people in Ohio? Man! That movie is fucked up!

[Nate The Great]

I'm watching Julien Donkey Boy tonight.

Ugh, that was a weird movie; though it was pretty good, it was so extremly depressing that I can't recall the last time I felt so miserable as after seeing it

Try Requiem for a Dream if you have not done so yet ... guaranteed misery for days

Works more effectivelly than an Agalloch listening session

 

[Nate The Great]

Requiem for a Dream and Gummo are both depressing . . . but in different ways. Gummo feels like a documentary of the most fucked up town on the planet, while Requiem has a definite feel of an actual movie. They are both excellent, but Gummo leaves you wondering if the government should bring back that top secret sterilization program that had back in the day.

Haha exactly my thoughts

Requiem for a Dream is just sad and moving while Gummo is truly depressing

LOL, I'm also gonna have to agree. Gummo was such a fucking weird and fucked movie. Godamn red states.
