The Official Last Movie You Saw Thread 3: Magnetically Accelerated Fecal Neutronium Impactor Cannon

Old thread was locked by Viz cause he's awesome. Probably because he has a huge penis. So here's a new one I guess.

I saw Sunny (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1937339/) last night and you should, too. It's fun.

Finally saw the Lincoln Lawyer. Woulda been a solid 7.5 except I spent the whole movie wishing he were Saul Goodman. 7/10

Old one was locked for "10,000 posts" ... even though it was actually 10K1 posts/10K replies.

I'm watching Alien Resurrection for the first time.

lol what the fuck is this

That's what happens when the french try anything serious.

There are 5 worthwhile seconds of DAT ASS.

oh my god this is so bad

i've watched some movies recently but i can't remember which ones

So...was Alien: Resurrection meant to be a parody? Because...yeah.

it's a kick-ass action MOVIE!

Fuck. I can't unthink that now

Still, very nice movie

Mean Streets - 7/10


Intriguing. You can tell right away it's a Scorsese film, even though it was his first one.

I actually looked for that film at the library today but it was checked out.

I Wish (aka Kiseki)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1650453/
This is my third Koreeda film (after Air Doll and Still Walking). I'm pretty convinced that this guy is a modern genius. Like Still Walking, or even more so, this film's story rolls out quite naturally. The style is very observational at times, not unlike a well-shot documentary. You learn as you go, no hand-holding. That's the best. It's simply excellent. Nowhere near your typical Japanese family drama. I think this is getting a limited release outside the festival circuits soon, so people should go see it.


The Front Line (aka Go-ji-jeon)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2007387/
I'd read a lot of blurbs saying this was a "generic" war picture without much depth. Not the case, if you ask me. Maybe the folks saying that have seen more Korean war films than I have, or just know more about the history. Whatever, though, because I thought it was a pretty good film with strong character interaction and surprisingly good photography for a modern war film (was almost entirely devoid of close-up seizure cam). Fairly fucking depressing, though.

Oldboy: 7.5/10
Melancholia: 7/10

I've watched Goon like 10 times now.

Alright boys, listen up. We're sill in this thing. We just need a quick one.
Listen up Cash!
We gotta work harder than them, okay?
Harder than them, guys.
You know what's hard work? Going through a divorce, she's trying to get all my money now. She can half of it, I don't give a shit. The other half, hard work, mine! Some guys on their team are fuckin' divorced. Three guys there, who's fuckin' marriages are in the fuckin' toilet.
We're playing divorced guys.
Yeah!
We gotta be fuckin' triceps, biceps, arceps hard!
Hard!
Greek fuckin' underground gay porn hard!
We're all Adonis's.
Highlanders, gay porn hard!
Gay porn hard!

Actually, yes. Joss Whedon wrote it as a tongue-in-cheek sort of thing, and Jeunet was gonna bring his quirkiness and go along with it. Then the studio/producers got stupid and it turned into a fucking mess.

Watching Clueless blu-ray tonight #Fabulous!

Insidious for the 5th time. Perfect movie after the clásico

You Are the Apple of My Eye
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2036416/

First-time director Giddens Ko's screen adaptation of his own novel was so good that I started hunting down the best deal on a DVD or BD on my phone while exiting the cinema.

edit: Some summaries and reviews make this film sound like a chick flick. It's not.

Not his first movie.

Cabin in The Woods

Rating:
Shit/Fuck

Cabin in the Woods

fuck yeah metafiction

lol Matsuyama Ken'ichi is in like everything.

This was okay. The pace of the film was very level. No waveform at all. Even though there was an identifiable introduction, setup, conflict, climax and resolution, everything operated on the same wavelength. This isn't anything new but the fact that they achieved that steadiness was one of the more impressive things about the film. The story itself was somewhat forgettable, but some of the character motivations were pretty cool. I was expecting the film to be a bit more explanatory about the era it was set in, but it wasn't. It seemed clearly designed for audiences who either lived through the era or are already educated on it - which in my case is neither. The end caught me off guard and I liked that a lot.

Funny how I can muster up more stuff to say about a film that I only thought was okay than films that I've loved. Recent examples of favorites being Sunny and You Are the Apple of My Eye. For those I just want to gush about "I loved this and that and this and this and that" and I'm too excited to think about what anything technically or critically.

Also...watched Rainbow Song again the other night. It'd probably been about a year since the previous viewing. If I had to guess I'd say it was my sixth viewing. It still reduces me to a blubbering mess. It has not lessened with each viewing. It's been the same every time.

Troll Hunter - 8/10, super awesome.

Cabin in the Woods - 9/10, even better seeing it a second time.

Troll Hunter super awesome? I thought it was hilarious, one of the most wtf movies I've seen

good luck convincing me Cabin in the Woods isn't the best movie of all time/10

Melancholia was gorgeous. Weirdly I felt more unease a half hour after viewing.

Walk About. Awesome movie. Found it by accident on huluplus.

Life Without Principle
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1371585/
Director Johnnie To did a great job of keeping things punchy and uptempo in this picture, even when discussing investment banking for 20 minutes straight. It was a comedy of ironic tragedies and right-place/right-time events spiraling out and rippling the waters, so to speak. It was good, but it was just sort of there. I didn't feel any attachment to anyone (characters were not evenly fleshed out) or anything in the film and I have no desire to see it again, even though I enjoyed seeing it this time.

Headshot
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1682186/
The film's called Headshot and it follows a hitman who's ex-police. Was not all the guns blazing action I expected. Instead, it was better. I ended up feeling awfully sorry for the protagonist. Dude could not get away from trouble. And it all started with him trying to be a good, responsible guy. Really cool. Recommended.

what the fuck this looks ridiculous

i am going to watch this

Mission Impossible 4 : Ghost Protocol.

Really good

The Illusionist (Edward Norton). Very good

It was hilarious and wtf but I loved it to pieces.

Dead Man

holy shit

Well Sally, I don't give a pig's ass what anybody says, I still say you make a hell of a pot of beans.

Oklahoma (1998 stage version) - Hugh Jackman is awful good at singing. I felt bad for Judd :-(

Cabaret (1972~ movie version) - Liza Minelli and Joel Grey were super great. Awesome choreography, sexy and minimal in a way that suited the creepy/disorienting tone of the movie. I think Sam Mendes' stage version did some stuff a lot better though. (Movie was a bit heavy handed and blunt at times, and it didn't mesh the relationship of their private lives with the rise of the Nazis as well as the stage version did.)

God Bless America

snarky, charming, and not afraid of murder. my kind of woman movie. God Bless America/10

I was gonna watch this now but the subtitles aren't timed right. Trailed off 20 minutes in.

Religulous - 8/10 I hate Bill Mahr, but it's always funny to see people outwit fundamentalists.

Anti-Christ: WTF/10

I got the cowry 2-cd xvid release. The srt files match up fine.

Let the Bullets Fly
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1533117/

Fucking hilarious. Chow Yun Fat and Wen Jiang are both boss as fuck in this.

I got 720p.HDRip.x264.AC3-ZERO and the same name for the subs but they dont work.

The Living Dead Girl

Is this real life?

Paper Moon

there's room for it to grow on me, but so far bogdanovich's style is just completely fucking boring, even if really thoughtful

Carnage

Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz are all fantastic. overall: what the hell kind of a pussy name is nibbles?/10

Cabin in the woods. Ohsogood
