Boy In The Striped Pajamas - Solid film and different viewpoint of the Nazis. Can't say much else without spoilers.

Bluebeard - French film by controversial director Catherine Breillat. It was decent. Kept me awake anyway.

Just watched Kick-Ass,what a fucking crack up of a movie!

Watched last night with friends; quite enjoyable.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

it's a pretty badass movie.
I have it on bluray, need to watch it.

I watched Bitch Slap and I laughed many times, it's kinda like Zombieland, but sexy. Zombieland was only good for like 30 minutes and then totally fucked up.

 

[Psychonaut]

The Road - It was pretty good but I thought it would be better. Pretty damn slow.

 

[The Emptier]

Act of Violence: a classic noir, liked it a lot. not much more to say

Alphaville: I just finished watching this and it was just fucking weird. very much like 1984/brave new world/dystopia etc. but mixed with film noir...some great shots though, there was one that was like 4 minutes without a cut.

Alphaville isn't my favorite Godard film (I believe that's who directed it). It still has his signature style of cool noir film, but he has better films

 

[Psychonaut]

Redbelt - Not really an MMA fan for starters. Kind of your standard guy-is-a-badass-and-doesn't-want-to-fight-but-circumstances-force-him-to movie with the expected ending. Not really much action either considering the subject matter. Just kind of a messy mess.

The Room is the Citizen Kane of modern times.

I liked Millennium Actress, although not as much as Paprika and Perfect Blue. I could relate to the main character and in a sense I feel like I am carrying a key around my neck as well. I thought the final line was fucking stupid though.

so's the final line of perfect blue to be fair

i just find millennium actress exhilarating and the impression it leaves with me is a real sense of love for cinema. it may be a tad juvenile but not in a way i dislike, just feels full of wonder and playfulness to me, which ain't a bad thing at all. miyazaki can be a bit stodgy and conceptual sometimes, i really like him but that's primarily for his style, i tend to feel a bit distanced on an emotional level.

rms you should try 'perfect blue', 'cause that one's kind of the opposite to 'millennium actress' in a lot of ways, cold and disturbing. i dunno if you like 'mulholland drive' but it's a pretty obvious precursor (aronofsky also nicked a scene for requiem for a dream for some reason)

Watched Kick-Ass, it was surprisingly awesome.

I really liked Twilight Samurai. The whole confrontation in Redbelt felt very forced from the get-go.

I do like Mulholland Dr. and have Perfect Blue ready to give it a whirl, just been cramming out all the seasons of Seinfeld i've missed being in Korea lately

The Room is the Citizen Kane of modern times.

I'm trying to understand this properly. It might be a futile effort.

 

[Badbird]

It's so bad it great. Any one who hasn't seen this film yet should try and Youtube chips. It one big trainwreak.

Citizen kane was one of the most boring films I ever had to watch

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

just watched Kickass on bluray, fuck yes!

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Yeah, overrated as hell. I could see how it was good for its time, kinda.

What do you make of Inception? I got stoned to death on here for my review of it, so I thought I would react to your post first before you got flamed by the status quo patrol.
