The Official Movie Thread

[Oblivious Maximus]

Rampage (1987) - Criminally underseen Friedkin flick. Wasn't actually released untl 5 years after it was filmed. Of coruse it's not on DVD (legally anyways). In a humorous twist of fate it's got Reese from The Terminator trying to get a man named Reece sentanced to death. Pretty raw in parts, Alex McArthur is straight up bone chilling as the blood drinking serial killer. He bears a striking resemblance to Richard "Night Stalker" Rameriz.

 

[Blind Guardian]

That is all.

Had a full day of Mafia the other day with some classics. Casino (my personal favorite), Goodfellas, and The Godfather.

I personally enjoy Casino over Goodfellas, most likely because Tony Spilotro was a bad ass haha.

City of the Living Dead
Sorority House Massacre
Rocktober Blood

LOL at "I Don't Cut the Grass Anymore." Please tell me that is about a rogue angry man who murders people from his porch and has to defend his porch with an incredible amount of guns and bombs from the army.

It's actually a lot more ridiculous than that, believe it or not haha. It's about two psycho gardeners who butcher and mutilate yuppies with cheesy, campy extremely unrealistic gore effects. It had a budget of less than a $1000 and has some of the most hilarious over-acted dialogue I've ever seen.

Just watched 127 hours...Heard mixed reviews so I decided to see for myself...Had some slow moments, but I expected it based on the premise of the movie...Overall I thought it was a good, but dont think Ill be seeing it again.

Arn: The Knight Templar - Braveheart meets Kingdom Of Heaven meets every other film of this type. Totally by the book.

 

[The Butt]

Snatch. Fucking awesome movie. Kthxbai.

 

[Psychonaut]

Battleship - Many lols were had and I think they were unintentional. Utterly fucking ridiculous.

 

[wolves202]

Seriously!! I was kind of ok with it until the fucking old geezers took over that fucking old ship and defeated all of the aliens. What a piece of shit!!

I'm gonna check out Taken 2 tomorrow. already got my ticket.

the first one seemed to me to have a hole in the plot

if i'd been directing, i would have left it as is, but i would have added a scene in the begining where the group of kidnappers is doing re-con, secretly observing a group of females, where the kidnappers already know the american girl's family is broke before they decide which girl to kidnap, where the kidnapping is not random, they are kidnapping the specific girl that they already know is broke, this way, it would be a whole hell of a lot scarier because you would already know that they're not wanting a ransom before the scene with the girl's father on the phone with his daughter's kidnapper, also it would make the diologue in that scene more dramatic, but with out the kidnappers already knowing she's broke before they kidnap her, the plot just doesn't feel right to me, since they didn't already know ahead of time that she was broke, i spend the whole fucking movie wondering what would have happened if they'd accidently kidnapped the richest female in the city? what if TMZ knew she'd been kidnapped before the police did?
very distracting hole-in-the-plot for me

 

[KafkaX]

Just finished Almost Famous...Fuck man, I cant help but live vicariously through that kid William, every time I see it. Shit would be so badass.

 

[unknown]

just finished watching Kurosawa's The Bad Sleep Well. Having seen Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood and Yojimbo, this is probably my favorite of his with Yojimbo being a close second. The theme of corporations getting away with whatever they want is especially relevant. Toshiro Mifune also looked like one dapper badass...like a Japanese Gregory Peck.
