The Official Movie Thread

[challenge_everything]

Just saw the french flick Heartbreaker from this year. This is the best and most original comedy I have seen in years. Even with shitty subtitles, it was fucking great(downloaded it, yes[but I don't remember that ever happening]).

Sadly, I bet my left nut that this gets remade with Will Smith and Cameron fucking Diaz.

92/100- would have been higher I'm sure with better subtitles.

Was just checking it out on IMDB. I'll try to watch the original language version as I'm always looking to polish up my french. The plot actually sounds like My Best Friend's Girl with Dane Cook, which I watched under duress but found pretty funny.

Btw the lead actor Romain Duris is very good in my experience - The Beat My Heart Skipped (De Battre Mon Coeur S'est Arrete) is a great movie.

Laughed my ass off.

Laughed my ass off.

It was disappointing.

Saw Sympathy For Lady Vengeance last night. I can't say it was as good as Oldboy but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I'm thinking of watching Tokyo Gore Police atm, seeing as I don't really have anything better to do.

I only wish Park Chan-Wook was as prolific as Takashi Miike.

Finally got the extended version, love it.

Jacob's Ladder - Still digesting it tbh but overall I'm pretty sure I liked it.

Can't wait for Hangover 2. Paul Giamatti should be great in the movie. Too bad for Mel not being in the movie.

. Too bad for Mel not being in the movie.

That's Hollywood Political Correctness for you.

Mel Gibson rules!

Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) - Meeehhhh. Started out okay but it seemed like the wheels really came off in the second and third acts. It's almost like the director had no more material or ideas after most everyone was killed off early. Didn't like the new Freddy either. His mouth moved like an old puppet. He did have a few decent lines but really, no one will be able to replace the original.

Well if this movie was filmed five years from now, I bet everyone would forget what he did. I mean, Mike Tyson isn't the best person out there and neither is William Clinton

I fail to see how Bill getting his dick sucked makes him a bad person.

Currently watching the new Robin Hood (directors cut), and thoroughly enjoying it.

I really like this movie, I can see were Silent Hill got some of its inspiration.

The Girl Who Played With Fire - Second installment in the trilogy and another good one. I didn't find it quite as engaging as the first but the acting, direction, and score were great. Can't wait to see the third.

Currently watching the new Robin Hood (directors cut), and thoroughly enjoying it.

The best thing about that movie is that Alan Doyle from Great Big Sea plays Alan-a-Dale in the film. The music's great.

Other than that, a lot of things about that movie bugged me. Some of the acting was really terrible, and some of the narrative elements were unnecessary or unintentionally funny. But it was an entertaining movie.

Robin Hood was the most boring movie I've seen in a while.

Watched Taxidermia, disturbingly brilliant.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Robin Hood needs to die. Now and forever.

 

[Psychonaut]

Ip Man - Been wanting to see this one forever and since I'm all about these epic kung fu flicks, I really liked this one. Donnie Yen is a badass.

good to know. I've wanted to see it for a while. I saw trailers it for it, but missed when it was in theaters, so it's been sitting in my netflix queue
