The Official Movie Thread

I was reluctant when I heard Robert Pattinson was going to be in it, but this looks like a return to the true Cronenberg form

Admittedly for I second I was too, but then I remembered who the fucking director was. I got an eXistenZ vibe from that teaser, short as it was.

I think I love new Cronenberg more than the old..but equally are amazing films.

The book it's based on is supposedly one of DeLillo's worst. Hopefully the film's better.

went and saw The Hunger Games tonight. Never read the books. Film was enjoyable. Nothing amazing or groundbreaking but enjoyable. I liked Jennifer Lawrence better than when she was in Winter's Bone

I love the way this scene is filmed.

Fucking awesome scene in an awesome movie.

I actually read the first book over the weekend just so I can go see the movie with my fiancee (she's read all three and won't go see the movies with me until I read the books). The plot was good, albeit simple. I'm interested to see how they film it.

I can't remember if this trailer has been posted yet, but I'm so fucking excited for this film:

Have you guys seen Battle Royale?

The Addiction (1995) - Unconventional "philosophical" vampire film. Lili Tayor rules here. The stark black and white look totally fits. I'm suprised this still isn't offically on DVD in America.

Post some good movie music.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

This has the potential to be great

A man and his non-human talking best friend getting into hijinks and hilarity ensues. I had high hopes for Seth McFarlane doing a live action film.

Hunger Games just broke a bunch of box office records BTW just in case anyone cares

Drive - Liked this one quite a bit. Enjoyed the whole vibe with the credits font and the soundtrack. A sprinkle of brutality helped it along.

 

[SentinelSlain]

The Hunger Games is, plot wise, a big piece of Battle Royale, with a solid portion of The Running Man and just a sprinkle of 1984 on the top.

The acting, especially on the part of Jennifer Lawrence, is really great though.

anyone going to see avengers or spiderman this summer?

 

[Psychonaut]

Moneyball - Thought this was pretty good too.

[url="http://hellbrokeluce.blogspot.com/2012/04/rabid-1977.html]Rabid (1977)[/url] - Early Cronenberg, his second feature length film after Shivers and a personal favorite of mine, one I revisit often featuring the late Marilyn Chambers.

Ms. 45 (1981) - Abel Ferrara's rape/revenge/exploitation classic. Think I Spit On Your Grave meets Death Wish. The finale is pure style.
