The Official Movie Thread

Been listening to the cdbook of fellowship of the ring at work. SO much different than the movie

defiance was a great movie

I've liked pretty much everything with Daniel Craig. Layer Cake being his best, and one of the best british gangster films in my opinion.

Watched a gorgeous and really emotional movie last night called Departures. It's a Japanese movie about this guy who thought he was supposed to be a cellist, but then the orchestra dissolves, so he has to find a new job. He responds to an ad in the paper thinking it's a travel agency; it's a funeral directing company. Suffice to say the movie deals a lot with how people and the Japanese in particular view death and react towards it. really interesting.

Unkown: Departures is such a beautiful movie, I loved it as well. The subject matter and the way the movie was made came as quite a surprise to me, I never expected it to unfold like that and with such beauty.

I saw Departures a few months ago. I vividly recall eating semlor while watching it, delicious semlor baked by my mother. It was a good day.

I thought the movie would be right up my alley. I love japanese cinema, I love drama, and the poster had a guy playing cello on it. Now, it wasn't bad, and it wasn't boring, but it wasn't great. It just didn't resonate with me... at all. I found these people's feelings toward death silly. Not a movie I regret watching, but still a disappointment.

I just watched the German film, "The Counterfeiter's". Incredible movie, incredible acting and and incredible filmmaking.

yeah the books are a pretty big hit over here

watched Defiance last night with Daniel Craig and Liev Schrieber...I enjoyed it.

seen both these movies and highly recommend them. fuck nazis!

 

[Blind Guardian]

I must be one of those two people.

Yeah it's you and a guy named Martin. Don't bother watching it by the way, it wasn't anything special.

Has anyone seen "In The Mouth Of Madness"? If you have, do you like it? And what's your opinion about John Carpenter?

awesome movie, awesome director..my favorite movie is The Thing, but he's got about 7-8 movies that are a must-watch..check out Prince of Darkness next man

I agree about everything.

check out Prince of Darkness next man

I have seen Prince Of Darkness many years ago and I thought it was awesome. I should see it now to say an opinion of mine, but I think John Carpenter will not disappoint me.

 

[Psychonaut]

Kill Zone - It took me a while to finally get on board with Donnie Yen's hybrid wrestling/kung-fu fighting style but he's pretty much a badass. I really want to see IP Man but this had a few good fights to hold me over.

it's better if you're an h.p. lovecraft fan. one of carpenter's campier films but enjoyable nonetheless

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Resident Evil: Degeneration. So far so good

 

[challenge_everything]

Carpenter is massively overrated, but The Thing is brilliant.

 

[Psychonaut]

Outlander - Vikings and a shipwrecked alien soldier who brought a monster on his ship. I love genre-crossing stuff like this if done right (Doomsday). This one wasn't bad but it almost tried to do too much.

 

[Badbird]

Trouble Man was very meh besides the scenes that Mr T kick everybody ass. 5/10 for me. I will post the entire movie here.



































The music was cool and like the ending too.

 

[RodneyMunch]

I like stuff with lots of action and over kill. When my friend showed me "The Killer" I was simply amazed. It was all in subtitles though, but I think I'd prefer subtitles over terrible dubbing(?) or whatever its called.

 

[Psychonaut]

Edge of Darkness - Pretty good. Kinda felt like it had already been done but haven't they all nowadays? It wouldn't be a Gibson flick without some grisly deaths.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I need to see that. The trailers made it look good. not amazing

 

[RodneyMunch]

I saw not even half of Edge of Darkness before I decided to just stop watching. It was the fourth movie I had watched that day and I couldn't even follow along so I called it quits.
