The Official Movie Thread

[CiG]

I didn't really pay attention to the subtext of What We Do In The Shadows, I enjoy it on a surface level too much.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i don't enjoy movies anymore, i just snobbily criticise the subtext

 

[CiG]

Clearly a product of the fact that you don't drink beer (much).

Over the last few days we've watched Episode IV, V, VI, and VII
First thing she said after Episode VII was "when does the next one come out?"
Im a happy guy

Watched Strange Days with Ralph Fiennes. I can see why the movie bombed. It's got a nice cyberpunk-ish atmosphere like Johnny Mnemonic but it's schizophrene in terms of tone. One minute it's a political mystery thriller and next it's a horror movie and then it's an action movie. If they had picked one thing and stuck with it it would be a great movie.

I watched Ran again yesterday. Excellent film.

I need some help.

I'm interested in pirate films that are of a more serious/dark nature.

No Yellowbeard slapstick or Pirates of the Caribbean popcorn cheeze and by serious/dark I don't mean Captain Philips fighting with Somalians in dress shoes and sweatpants.

i'm not sure but i did a bit of Internet Research and the island (1980) popped up a few times, if you haven't seen that. seems like there are a few people out there asking this question and not getting many replies.

@no country for old wainds Honestly, I was having trouble with coming up with any besides that one.

Ive watched a few good movies but im having issues focusing on reviews at the moment. I'll come back!

Anyone else excited for Villeneuve's Arrival? It's getting excellent reviews, and of course the story on which it's based is fantastic.

pretty good film, recommend it

 

[CiG]

Great to hear! I've been meaning to see it.

I saw Handmaiden in the theaters recently and really enjoyed it. Chan-wok Park is a good director, and I thought the concept was really interesting. I don't want to spoil the movie, but it's about a Korean woman (whose mother was a notorious thief) who is hired to be this wealthy woman's handmaiden (which is basically a maid). I was taken aback with the long sex scenes, actually. But there's really something unique about Asian films. They always explain every single detail to you, whereas Western films leave a lot of room for interpretation. Not sure how I feel about that yet, but I enjoyed the movie a lot.

It was boring as shit, I felt ripped off coming out of the cinema

Chan-wok Park is a good director

You're damn right he is.
