A few films recently watched.

I really disliked that film. Thought the visuals were really lacking and the goddamn thing just wouldn't end.

same i went into it expecting to be a style over substance, visually pleasurable film to watch at the very least, but nope the visuals were extremely boring and derivative overly color filtered mess

I thought the visuals were the best thing about the film. Oh well, to each his own and all that jazz.

pirate radio - fun

 

(i'm great at these reviews)

I thought it was lame as fuck, watched all of the first half and didn't have the inspiration to click on part 2 of the divx stream... tried so hard to be a feel good comedy but it wasn't either if you ask me.

just saw Vertigo...

it was purty good

he has a fairly large filmography. can someone recommend me some other Hitchcock other then Psycho or the Birds?

North by Northwest, Rope, Rear window.

Rear Window is my fav

rear window

I watched Inland Empire again last night with a couple of friends.

That movie still freaks me out. It's probably the most uncomfortable movie I've ever watched.

The first time I watched it I hated the DV-cam look the movie has - probably because I was used to Lynch's beautiful cinematography from Mulholland Drv. and Lost Highway. It still sort of annoys me but I think last night was the first time I noticed how many stunning scenes there are in this movie. The lighting and some of the sets are fantastic!

9/10

And that is why I have always thought that you are awesome Squee.

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Eh. Didn't like. *shields self* Zydrate Anatomy was a really cool song/segment though. If more of the film had been like that... (Another thing I liked about it was that it had this fantastic gore/goth visual style which looked incredible.)

I agree

the movie's like a puzzle

I think it's Lynch trying to make you feel what Nikki/Susan is feeling, which is the curse of the film she is making

North by Northwest & Rear Window seconded, Frenzy is my favorite Hitchcock film. I also recently saw 'Dial M for muder' and 'Rebecca' good shit

Clerks, did not like it, I repeaset I ded not leik it.

Not at all what I was expecting but I loved it.

yeah i was pleasantly surprised by that one. wasnt the opening great?

Pandorum

meh/10

pretty much a crappy version of The Descent in space

The Road - Good looking film , but very disappointing content. I wanted to see more of what caused Armageddon , more action and less depressing-ness. 7.5/10

lol well clearly you watched the wrong type of film. and what caused the destruction of civilization is completely beside the point.

I guess you are a fan of the book.

The main Plot should have been the sub-storyline.

But please , movie lovers , don't take my word , i gave 2012 an 8 out of 10

and what would you have made the main storyline? seems like you just wanted another 2012. if so, why not just watch that one again?

The main storyline should have been the catastrophe itself , i wanted to see Aragorn run away from huge balls of fire coming from the Scientology supervolcano.

I mean , i didn't hate the main plot , but it was like " Okay i get what the characters are going through , but excuse me , there is a fucking Armageddon happening and you are ignoring it!!!! "

Clerks and all other Kevin Smith movies are highly overrated

This is completely the opposite of the movie/book and would denaturalise it completely man. There is no artifice. It's not about explaining. It's all about the human connection. The raw, emotional answer to "How far would you go?" or "How much can you take before just letting it all go?"

This ain't fucking Deep Impact.
