Contagion 4/ 10

People got sick, people died, the movie ended.

look @ me - Incredible script. Perfectly performed by an amazing ensemble cast (particularly the detectives). Mindblowing cinematography. Easily the best film I have seen in a decade 9.75 / 10

Real steel - 5/10

Took every cliche and missed them by a good margin. Rushed, predictable, flat, hammy. Also the music was shit.

The CGI was incredible.

Contagion - 7/10

One missed call - lolwtf/10

The thing 2011 - 4/10 - OH GOD WHY?!

Final Destination - 8/10 - these films, like the saw franchise are a guilty pleasure of mine. More of the same :)

Someone give me a decent film to watch ffs.

Tenebre

Cabin Fever 2

Haunters

Kill List

Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame

Take Shelter

The Yellow Sea

I Saw the Devil

Efter Brylluppet - (After the Wedding) - Danish Drama. What I had little expectations of and wasn't madly keen on watching turned out to be an extremely moving intelligent film with a simple but very original storyline. Impressive looking and a stellar performance by big Rolfy Lassgård. The daughter was quite adorable too in a cutesy way (but that's neither here nor there.)

here...

7.231 / 10

Next up Tree of Life or The Green Butchers depending on the mood

Drive (2011) - The movie had it going at around the motel scene, it was starting to crumble by then but it was still holding up. Every character seemed out of a GTA game and were as deep as one. I think a lot of the problems I've had with the movie were down to the editing, not the best I've seen... seriously.

They may have had good intentions but the movie needed much more polishing and overall thinking, if they were going for a 80's feel then they should have dropped the orange/teal look, go full balls to the wall 80's Mann (with real blood special effects for fucks sake!), as it is, it feels too much like second-hand influence, like they were copying what the GTA games were paying homage too (Scarface, Miami Vice, Manhunter...) without ever looking at the original source.

To be fair, if it had decent photography, a rawer sound design, natural looking color and I don't know, some kind of dialog?? Smirking is not substitute for words, it would be a classic. It's still entertaining for half the runtime and has Kavinsky doing the music so it's not all that bad.

Kill List - ??

Was there something I was supposed to know before watching this piece of shit?

 

Just out of interest what didn't you like about it? I loved it then showed it to my girlfriend and got a big "meh" response, I'm a gay film nerd and do a movie night with friends every week and was planning on bringing this along but now fear I may get torn apart for my choice.

 

I liked the buildup, I liked the characters, and I liked pretty much everything about it except for the last 10 minutes or so.

Maybe I missed something while watching it but why on earth was the wife suddenly under the blanket? What kind of cult was it?

 

Yeah it's definitely very divisive, I stumbled upon this site which throws up some interesting ideas, it's worth a look http://m.holymoly.com/film-dvd/blog/kill-list-what%E2%80%99s-it-all-about-then61097

Knocked Up 6/10 - sharp stoner comedy mixed with a chic flick drama designed to get you and your girlfriend in the cinema and/or let her know that smoking pot doesn't mean your a crack head. I laughed but it was too chick flick even for girls.

127hrs 7.5/10 - Better than Wreaked and quite intense to the point of making my feel physically sick. The phone advert indie music at the end kinda ruined it for me tho.

Final Cut (1998) 9/10 - Haven't seen it in ages, the comedy outset does disguise a really good concept dogma style indie film. The cast are excellent even Jude Law.

Deathproof 2/10 - didnt even finish the film = shite

well, nothing new to see there :(

the inkeepers - meh/10

fantastic planet - not that great 6/10

the driver - any resemblance with Drive is pure coincidence, not! 7/10

down terrace - twas ok i guess 6/10

red white and blue - i was expecting a bit more gore and vengeance 6/10

a lonely place to die - 6/10

the tunnel - lol full of facepalms 1/10

carnage - pretty fnny 7,5/10

i melt with you - what a bunch of 1st world problem loosers, the movie promisses so much and delivers so "little" /10

the name of the rose - 3rd or 4th time watching 8/10

the dream house - oh my, this movie could be so good but it was a disaster/10

The Deer Hunter 8/10

I found this movie to be quite troubling and beautiful at the same time. I like how it had a expansive story that was split up into three parts but I found most of the character's lacked some depth.

real steel - shit sandwich

interesting take on the apocalypse, the gradual loss of all senses. a bit silly, still, 7/10.
