A few films recently watched.

maybe he overplayed it a bit.. i guess i can see that. i love the ending. im pretty sure depalma hasnt made a decent film since the mid 80s.

also, ive been waiting months to see it but 'marwencol' exceeded my expectations. really well put together film. the end seemed a bit abrupt but i guess im ok with that. i get the sense that with a little bit of therapy, he can still live in marwencol and be a happier person. yay for the u.s. "healthcare system."

Pontypool

Well that was pretty fucked up. I'm not even sure I like it. But it's worth watching for the weirdness, and the beginning was very atmospheric.

I recorded the movie when it was on tv, they showed the original English version for once, but with those big yellow subtitles, so I ended up taping black garbage bags over my tv and make myself artificial black bars to cover the subs. Worked pretty well.

Toy Story 3

 

/10

 

 

Have to admit my my eyes watered a bit at the end.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

They watered alot actually

 

my eyes watered a bit at the start, with the home video montage. then my eyes watered a bit at the end. god damn pixar are amazing.

just watched Black Swan. i was completely blown away : O

Lifeforce got bored too soon/10

Didn´t like the pace of the movie at the beginning, still some of the special effects would have creeped the fuck out of me as a kid.

also (nsfw)

Hanna - 8/10. Gets a couple of points deducted for some wavering German accents in places and for some of the scenes being a bit over directed. Otherwise well done and enjoyed the soundtrack more than I thought, as I haven't liked the Chemical Brothers output for awhile.

yeah, waiting for that one for sure.

My girlfriend made me sit through P.S. I love You. A very painful experience, inside I was screaming with rage. 0/10

dog pound - billed as the american 'scum' for 2011. LOL

social network - rented it and realised i couldn't give enough of a shit to watch it.

have been making my way back through all the Star Trek movies. In this case my memory of them seemed pretty accurate; imo the 4th one is the only good one (the one directed by Leonard Nimoy). The rest are varying shades of blech. I guess Ricardo Montalban raises the second one up a bit. And the later ones directed by Jonathan Frakes are terrible. So yeah, the 4th one.

Buio Omega (1979) - Took me by surprise mainly because I knew nothing about the movie, it's quite a journey. Goblin's score is fantastic!

You done fucked up there. One of the best movies Hollywood has had anything to do with for quite a while. WAY more immersive and interesting than you'd think. The dialogue is sharp as fuck and every actor knocked it out of the park. It was really refreshing.

bronson - 7/10

the british chopper, but not as good. i enjoyed the intensity of tom hardys performance.

i'll take your word for it but i know i don't need to watch this film. which might sound narrow minded, cos i can definately enjoy films with seemingly uninspiring subject matter but i don't care about facebook, the guy who thought of facebook, the guys who think they thought of facebook, drama centred around who thought of facebook, a film about facebook, talking about facebook, or anything else even remotely linked to facebook. and no, i'm not on facebook.

Evangelion 2:22.

absolutely amazing animation / action sequences. the entire film was amazing to watching.

but, but.. the story?? ... wwhaaat?????? i have no idea what the fuck is going on in the evangelion series, but i still enjoy it.

nice! Have you watched it yet baph? I think you might enjoy it. lol

I saw it so long ago, I barely remember. Should netflix.

'To the Devil A Daughter' is another one you should see if you haven't.

Is this a Hammer film? I've been slowly making my way through those, when I'm in the mood. Some of them are pretty dull.

Edit: Quick check on Netflix says yes but it is currently unavailable. I'll add to saved.

yes, those are both very good Hammer films. There are a lot of shit ones as well. I have been going through them lately as well, favs so far: The Curse of the Werewolf, The Gorgon, Quatermass and the Pit (so fucking good), The Kiss of the Vampire / Kiss of Evil, The Plague of the Zombies, Rasputin: the Mad Monk, The Devil Rides Out / The Devil's Bride, To the Devil a Daughter, and The Reptile

I just watched Mulholland Drive again for the... 739068520936189367th time.

10.000/10

I couldn't think of a more boring subject for a film, but it was just a well made film and I really enjoyed it in the end. But yeah that is really narrow-minded. Why would you presume to not care about the characters in a film you haven't seen?

Incidentally I just watched Catfish which is a documentary about a guy who starts a relationship over facebook with someone who he then starts to wonder about how truthful she's being. Again I was enormously uninterested but watched it on a recommendation and it was really good. I do wonder if it was true though because it all came together so well, but who cares I suppose.
