The Official Movie Thread

[Mort Divine]

Watched Youth In Revolt last night, and I was kind of disappointed. I usually like Michael Cera movies, but his performance was super fucking understated for the most part (more than his usually are!!!) and I just couldn't get behind it very much.

The chick he was after was definitely hot tho

I was just reading a review of "The Terminator" on IMDB and the guy give you a great part at the end. Someone like Nick might like Terminator more for it's sorta horror/thriller feel. Someone might like Terminator 2 Judgement Day more because it's more of a fun movie.

Me and a bunch of friends watched that last semester and it was phenomenal. It's actually the last installment in a trilogy, with the first two films being The Legend of my pals Charley and The Soul of my pals Charley. Check it out:

Haha I had no idea there were two other films that went along with it, cool stuff (and funny as hell)

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

No way. Terminator is so much darker, scarier, and more compelling.

I agree. Always preferred the Original. Michael Biehn <3

Spartacus - Epic film of yore. Pretty damn awesome (especially the army movement) despite Kirk Douglas looking like a bit of a lummox throughout. Blu Ray restoration looked amazing.

 

[challenge_everything]

Not one of Kubrick's best though. Kirk Douglas is normally awesome but I couldn't really buy him as Spartacus.

 

[Psychonaut]

The Blind Side - Started off well enough but then got cheesy and stereotypical. Really not sure how Bullock won so many awards.

T2 is far more popular and most people I know liked it better.

This is true and I've never understood it. Terminator to me is the best 80s action movie and that is the best decade for action movies. It is so much more interesting to see a human desperately struggle to stop what he quite explicitly calls an unstoppable machine. The best scene is when Arnold absolutely destroys the entire police station. It's brilliant because it takes a place of certain safety and completely reverses it. Seeing two metal dudes shoot bullets at each other just isn't the same, even if one is goopy. Plus that kid is really annoying.

That said, the scene where they freeze the goopy dude and blow him up is awesome.

Exactly what I was going to say. It is far more interesting as a concept, but T2 has many epic moments which remind me of my childhood with all the badassery and catchphrases.

With that in mind, I don't know why people shit so much on T4. I actually liked it.

I just got done watching Day Breakers and I was very disappointed. I didn't like it at all and I believe I wasted my time.

This was the only video that I could find that had "the scene"

Never-mind the music; 2:35 is visually aesthetic

[Krigloch the Furious]

I've liked all the Terminator movies.
T2 is one of the best action movies of all time.
It's up there with Die Hard

 

[Badbird]

My Life As A Dog is a fucking great movie. You should watch it Krigloch.

 

[Vossyrus]

Recently I watched Gregg Araki's Three Bewildered People in the Night which I would now say is among my all-time favourite films. It was only made for $5000 I think.

 

[Psychonaut]

Sherlock Holmes - I think I liked it. It was a decent popcorn flick. Thankfully the comedy wasn't pushed nor the action completely out of control.

 

[st3333phani3333]

I just got done watching this documentary Dear Zachary. I had to watch it twice in a row just to unconfuse myself. It was a great, but sad and somewhat disturbing documentary.

This movie was quite awful.

Get into the sun and then cover up right before it kills you and then your heart starts beating again. A magical cure then starts flowing through your veins.

What. the. Fuck.

And i dont care if I just ruined the ending... because it's so stupid that you just shouldnt watch it. It's not funny bad, it's just bad.

Generally speaking, zombie movies are awful. I still say the original Night of the Living Dead was the best one, and it's only gone rapidly downhill since.

 

[Badbird]

Day Of The Dead was a cool movie. Most zombie movies can be boring.
