The Official Movie Thread

[Deicidal]

i just watched The Shining, Jack Nicholson was badass in it, i wish he had beat the shit out of that annoying wife of his. also, there was a nice titty/pussy scene in the bathroom.

Wait... you've JUST seen The Shining??

 

[challenge_everything]

I have a question for you all, which is the better Terminator movie?

They're all crap. Most overrated franchise ever.

 

[arg]

Wait... you've JUST seen The Shining??

uh... yeah ive been renting 80s movies a lot recently.

i wish they had stuck to the ending in the book though.

I have a question for you all, which is the better Terminator movie?

It's been years and years since I saw either, but I seem to remember the second one having this sense of impending doom that I really appreciated.

 

[cookiecutter]

I think the first one does that much better. Like when you think she's safe in the police station but Arnold just wrecks the entire station like it's nothing. After that you're like wtf can you do he's unstoppable.

Two questions:

Has anyone seen The Wrestler? Its a new Arnofosky (?) film that came out in 08 and supposedly its very good. Is it worth it?
Same exact question with Let the Right One In. My brother was telling me about it and said it was a vampire movie actually worth seeing. I have no idea how to get a hold of this but he made it seem very interesting.

Edit: Actually the Wrestler just got released like three days ago.

I agree. Not in a horror or necessarily a frightening sort of atmospheric way, just, the way it approaches that is one I much more easily connect with, the generally more negative tone of the characters, the more events going on completely misunderstood by the public, and so forth.

I agree with that too.

And that regard, yes, I agree (sooooo badass), but I was thinking about the approaching Judgement Day, and that side of the Terminator mythos.

 

[no country for old wainds]

first terminator is best yeah.

I'll be seeing it later this week. It seems like it will be worth it...Rourke won the Golden Globe for best acting, and Aronofsky is an amazing director...so it should be good

Burn After Reading - I liked it. Not outright obvious comedy but the movie as a whole is so absurd, it works.

Tokyo Gore Police - Fans of Machine Girl rejoice! Awesome extreme action/gore movie from the most fucked up minds on the planet - the Japanese. Loved it!

 

[Psychonaut]

U-571 - Rented this again as it just came out on Blu. Sound and PQ were great and the film still holds up.

Mummy 3 - What a turd. Steer clear. Plot holes so big the budget wouldn't even shore them up, bad CGI, and horrible dialogue. For an ultimate, immortal mummy, he was a puss.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Feh, I hated the first two enough, can only imagine how bad the third one must have been. There was potential somewhere..


Just watched Rambo (the newest one) again the other day, excellent film even if you're left wanting more in some ways at the end.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

shit yeah. the new Rambo was badass!

 

[Evil?]

I had a gore boner for says after that one.

 

[EmbraceTheDeath]

I just saw The Return and it is such a beautiful film. Absolutely golden. If anyone is a fan of Tarkovsky, this film is a must.

 

[no country for old wainds]

that's been on my rental list for a while

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah it is a great film.

 

[unknown]

I saw 'Frost/Nixon' last night. It was meh. nothing spectacular

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Saw Lola Rennt just now. Awesome, surprises at every turn.
