Saw this trailer at the cinema today. I had no idea Park Chan-Wook was directing a western film. Seriously hyped for this now.

 

[SWAT]

Just watched The Master, really good movie, although I don't get the ending, but I was entertained throughout.

It's a movie about the guy who made scientology and his attempt at "curing" a drunk.

A Naval veteran arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future - until he is tantalized by The Cause and its charismatic leader.

The Seventh Seal is so fucking good.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

It really is. My fav quote - Love is as contagious as a cold. It eats away at your strength, morale... If everything is imperfect in this world, love is perfect in its imperfection.

I think Zizek says something like this about Love as well.

 

[Einherjar86]

Something like that; he basically asserts that love is evil. Classic Žižek.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Yea, and I remember him saying that true Love is loving another for everything they are, all their ugliness, stupidities, imperfections etc.

The Pool - Indian film. Like it quite a bit. Good dialogue and ending.

Zu Warriors - Not sure what the fuck. Something about Heaven Sword and flying gods and exploding rainbows and some evil boss made of rubbery-looking CGI skulls and shit. I couldn't keep up with the choppy plot and within 30 minutes found myself not caring either way. Just went into the kitchen and made apple chutney and let the last half hour play out.

Barking Dogs Never Bite - Was okay. I expected much more from a Korean black comedy. A few funny scenes but overall kind of a let down.

 

[Umodian]

El dia de la Bestia(The Day of the Beast) - Spanish black comedy about priest and a metalhead who has to summon Satan to stop the apocalypse. Good, cheesy stuff, but it kind of falls apart at the end.

Flight - Not much of a Denzel fan but this was pretty good.

End of Watch - Liked this one too.

 

[damnromulans]

I saw "Beautiful Creatures" on Saturday night with my dad and loved it

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

The House I live In - awesome documentary about the drug war. America is so fucked it's not even funny.
91/100

 

[AllShallFall]

I saw Dark Skies and Snitch.

Both are great movies.

 

[unknown]

watched The Hunter last night with the missus. Willem Dafoe running around Tasmania hunting the tasmanian tiger and ends up pissing off the locals. Really cool stuff.



also watched Battle Royale today. It was good but not as cool as I hoped it would be

Ive been waiting to watch that since the director came on Bill Maher, where'd you watch it at?

There's a putlocker.com video somewhere that I saw. Not sure if it's still there.
