Just saw this one, its so stupid its good.

 

[Psychonaut]

Jackass 3 - I laugh at all of these stupid movies. Whatever.

Last Life In The Universe - Didn't get it.

Cellular - Unnecessary.

I find it similar to EP in that they both deal with acting and transformation.

Except that in Eastern Promises the audience doesn't know Viggo Mortensen's character is merely portraying a Russian gangster until the end. With Black Swan, yes, it is all about the transformation. I think the "transformation" in Eastern Promises is false because Viggo's character all along is a good guy

but it's been a while since I've seen Eastern Promises. Fantastic movie. I heard they were making a sequel

Which is one of the reasons that movie is fucking awesome on rewatch. I'd still say there's a transformation, just not necessarily one from "good guy" to "bad guy" or vice versa.

What I mean is, yeah, he might be "acting" as a Russian gangster to begin with, but it's made clear towards the end that he has settled into that role and isn't just acting anymore. And you might want to edit your post and put a spoiler warning.

Anyone see this Super 8 yet?

 

[The Emptier]

JUST GOT BACK.

Holy shit, THAT is a fucking movie. Seriously, I'm pretty critical of movies considering my family background, but god damn. Original, beautiful, stunning, action mother fucking packed, wholesome....this is what the film industry has been needing for years.

 

[Cronopio]

I can't believe how many of you actually know of Moodysson.

 

[Maladrear]

Wow... will definitely havee to check out these Moodysson films, they sound right up my alley. Downloading Lilya 4-ever and Fucking Amal right now. Imagining something like a mix between gummo, what's eating gilbert grape, and let the right one in.

 

[Cronopio]

Well, maybe the photo has things in common with Let The Right One In, but plotwise ... no.

went and saw Super 8 tonight and enjoyed myself. It's nothing deep or absolutely mindblowing...just a good piece of enjoyable cinema

 

[Matt]

Yeah Super 8 was cool. As was the new Xmen

 

[Psychonaut]

Yakuza Demon - Decent but I think I like Miike when he's doing more controversial stuff.

 

[unknown]

forgot to mention I finally got around to watching Bronson over the weekend. Loved it. Tom Hardy is the man. The film reminded me a lot of A Clockwork Orange, especially in terms of how the fight sequences were filmed and the use of music

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I actually thought Bronson felt like a poor man's Clockwork Orange with a poor man's Daniel-Day Lewis as the title character. I really didn't like it.

 

[Psychonaut]

Read My Lips - Pretty engaging French thriller.

 

[Srontgorrth]

Super 8 was definitely a movie worth seeing. Nothing groundbreaking by any means, but enjoyable all around.

 

[Psychonaut]

Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen - Nice. The more I watch Donnie Yen fight, the more I like his style. This had a fair amount of fluff in it but the fights were cool.

 

[unknown]

trailer for David Cronenberg's new film:

 

[Einherjar86]

So excited for that. Wasn't it originally called Prometheus, or was that just a working title?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I don't know about that, but it has been called A Dangerous Method for a long time.
