The Prestige (10/10)

amazing.. simply amazing.. wow

I am blown away.

Exit Through the Gift Shop was really good

MBW did exactly what he set out to do

6/10

kinda wish i hadn't rewatched this one, the cgi is horrible. i'll take stuttering stop motion over mid 80's cgi any day.

yeah, it was such an awesome film when I was kid....I rewatched last year and was dissapoint

Neighbors/Naboer

A Swedish movie that tried a bit too much to be Lynchian. It had its moments.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - 9/10

Lost in Translation 9/10 - i love this movie to pieces.

Lost in Translation 2 [somewhere] - Similar feelings but won't watch again /10

Score may of been affected by b2b viewing of said films.

127 hours - as about as good as a film about someone stuck under a rock could get.. really getting fed up with boyles 'triumphant bullshit music at the end of his films' 3/10

Exactly. The music in general was absolutely shit. It completely ruined it for me.

You know how it should have ended? It should have ended

That would have been so much cooler.

172 Hours also, and also pretty much agree with everything posted above!

Modern Times - Fantastic! I must see City Lights next.

Dinner for Schmucks - 1/10

Hey, let's take the greatest comedy of the last 30 years and turn it into a Jim Carrey movie!

yeah i also hated it, it's not funny, it's annoying :pukes:

CHILDREN OF MEN - there's only 2 or 3 things that make me not giving this a 10 out of 10

as always with woody allen, it's pretty much hit or miss, and compared to vicky cristina barcelona and whatever works, i'd consider this

a miss. still had its moments though. 6/10

Dinner for Schmucks - 8/10 -

I laughed , that's all that matters.

The Chaser - Another brutal, brilliant Korean thriller.

Having just watched Memories of Murder, I can't help but compare them, and this one lacks the colorful, well-developed characters of the former, and there are a few moments in the film when the suspense becomes a little forced, as well as a few minor plot holes.

Unfair comparisons aside, this is still a film that more than deserves a watch - one that keeps your eyes wide and fists clenched for two hours. 8.5/10

I'd also say it's a movie best experienced not knowing anything of the plot beforehand, as I did.

While watching the film, I kept telling myself, at least it's just a movie... then I look it up on Wikipedia and find out it's loosely based on a guy who didn't just kill 12 people as did the movie killer, but 21...

 

I love that movie. I watched Memories of Murder, The Chaser, and Madeo within a short period of times so these movies are almost linked together in my world; three fantastic Korean crime movies.

Have you watched I Saw The Devil? The one that got recut three times but still couldn't be shown in Korean theatres? It's a lot like all the other Korean revenge movies (not as good as any of the ones mentioned above though) but just a lot more messed up.

127 hours - watching this i realized that danny boyle is actually a pretty lousy filmmaker.

Watched Akira Kurosawa's Dreams on acid. Would watch again. 9.0 out of 10.
