    i saw sherlock holmes last night. a good escapist romp.




    i also saw pans labyrinth tonight. i really enjoyed it. its the 2nd time ive seen one of del toros films. way back in 2001 i saw the devils backbone. interestingly, at least for me, both films were set in the spanish civil war.

    Well i had never see the Big Lebowski before :oops: :shock: that is until last night. It was playing at the local indie movie theater near me. I know it did horrible in the box office and got bad reviews and i can def. see why, but i can also def. see why it has become a "cult classic". I enjoyed it a lot, funny moments and memorable quotes. Although throughout the movie I could def, see Eddie being/playing "The Dude" :lol:

    Saw 'The Ides of March' a couple nights ago. Boring and predictable.

    I just finished watching 127 Hours for the first time. That was such an emotional, harrowing story. The scene where he breaks the bones and cuts through his arm was so intense that I was so far of the sofa I nearly came off it and my mouth went dry. It's pretty gruesome but the finale was so emotionally uplifting and I'm glad to have finally seen it. I think I'll go and watch some Spongebob now... :D

    Saw Blue Valentine yesterday and its a cracking piece of film maker, fantastic performances from Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams and very interesting way to tell a story.

  • I saw an unusual movie over the weekend. In fact I was a bit under the weather, so I watched a few crappy movies because I didnt really want to pay close attention. But one flick called "Another Earth" was interesting. Not great, but at least it was unique. it starts with the discovery of an earth-like planet. There is not much description of the planet though, but rather an unlikely relationship that forms around the same time as the planets discovery.

    I love Pans labyrinth. I thought it was much better on a second time around because I knew the story a bit better and didnt need to focus so much on the english subtitles.

    Pretty disappointed with this - I expected much more from Steven Soderbergh and this cast but the writing and overall screenplay were pretty weak ... in trying to showcase Gina Carano as an action movie star while masking her inexperience, they ended up with something that just had very little flow or suspense to it ...

  • whoever recommended the movie "Contagion" to me, and there were several of you, I will be ignoring any further recommendations.

    ***SPOILER ALERT*** (although there is nothing left to spoil, the director already did that)

    I could talk about everything that was wrong with it from a character development standpoint and the viewer being totally uncapable of empathizing with any of them, or the fact that... it splinters off into various plots which are all weak and underdeveloped, about the massive (gigantic) holes in the story, about there being little story continuity, that there is really no antagonistic character other than a liberal blogger which is interesting considering it is supposedly the f'ing END OF DAYS, well not really only about 1/100 people die so it is like a bad flu, the actors were bland and the visuals were poor, or about how it was supposed to be a thriller and was slow and tedious, and finally - how the director might have been wise to know a little about microbiology and how viruses spread... but I won't talk about those things. What a stupid and moronic movie and a waste of $60MM. I hate this movie more than I've hated any movie in a long time. It is complete garbage and I'd rather watch The Human Centipede than watch this heaping pile of shit again.

    just wanted to say ... you didn't actually include anything that would be close to be a SPOILER ... :lol::lol:

    ha! you're right. well, I did mention that barely anyone dies... when I went to see it I thought it was apocalyptic in scale.

    Just watched The Bang Bang Club (2010) last night.

    It is a semi-biographical account of four photo-journalists, two of whom won Pulitzer prizes, chronicling the violence in South Africa from the end of Apartheid to SA's first free elections.

    It was, to say the least, very, very moving. I've been thinking about it all day. It really makes you think about the moral ambiguities faced by those chronicling (or fighting for that matter) war and violence stricken regions and how they cope, or not, with seeing the worse that humanity can offer.

    It's not a perfect movie by any means, some aspects of the movie just seemed added on to appeal to a wider audience. But overall, it was very thought provoking and insightful, and not a little bit sad.

    How did i miss the movie Bellflower before?
    Awesome indie movie about two friends who spend their time preparng for the apocalypse by creating weapons (flame throwers and bad ass shit like that)and end up falling in love with these girls and things go horrendiously bad and it ends up in a mess.

    It is another juxtaposed plot with an ending that leaves you talking like inception did.

    You all have probably already seen it though right :? I'm just late to the party?

    Anyway the cinamatography is great it is all low budget and filmed very uniquly.

    I actually think i liked it more than drive
