story of a junkie - pretty great cross between a documentary and regular movie. (supposedly) real scenes of shooting up creeped me out. lack of any moralization was a nice touch as well. kinda like a movie version of burroughs first novel. makes me want to go for other 'shock' movies troma distributed.

yeah, this was ok. Definitely not one of the best in the troma library though. Watch the Toxic avenger part 1, then skip to part 4.

Watched Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai yesterday. It was my first movie of him.

I absolutely loved all the characters and kept thinking to myself how hard it is to find a movie of the present time with solid character development. Because in the end of the day, characters are the elements who grab us to the film. Also loved how comedy moments are so well embedded in the overall sad and apparently hopeless mood of the story. Wish it had colors tho. I can only imagine the film with colors now. Looking forward to see Ran next. Not sure why i have chosen it. Saw the trailer and those colors just grabbed me.

Also watched Peter Greenaway's The belly of an architect, but still need some more time to think about it. I need several days of thinking before i can talk about the movies i watch.

Carnage.. i felt a bit out of my element seeing this in theater. i think we were the youngest ones there.. still the transition from phony politeness to general ridiculousness was great. I admit, I was a wee bit stoned and thus detached while viewing it, but when there true personalities finally came to light it hit home hard. good movie

... but it's defiantly much easier to watch ...

 

...Much like Fincher's other murder mystery "Zodiac" this defiantly overtakes it.

he said 'opinion invalidated'

tree of life - 7.1 / 10

it seemed to be a good film, but it's so long and slow by the end i was completely bored and uninterested. and nothing happened. i kind of assumed where the film where was going to go by about halfway and it just followed the same path at its same uneventful slow pace.

the visuals were really nice and the themes were good and it seemed all around pretty interesting.

but fuck me it was boring!

toxie bores me, i was thinking more 'combat shock'.

one of my childhood favourites revisited. the goonies 10/10 no perspective on this at all. loved it. i think i saw some weird edit though as I remember way more adventure but that could be childhood memory issues. was weird to see samwise and josh brolin as i didnt know it was them in this. and the truffle shuffle wasn't as funny as i remember

'Trash Humpers'

10/whatthefuckdidijustwatch.

I sort of liked it. For what it was. Which was fucking odd.

I couldn't even finish it. I've seen some absolute weird toss in my time but this took the piss, throughout it was either boring or irritating.

haha

nope wasn't in my version. it was roughly 140mins

such a bummer that they cut that scene. so good. also makes me think of the octopus scene in Popeye (an otherwise terrible film).

i just watched Goonies last night, is it PG?

because fuck me if there isn't a single PG movie that would show a kid laying down next to a pale dead body with a bullet hole between the eyes.

why did the MPAA fuck everybody over?

There were a few tonal anomalies like that in the '80s. I blame coked up execs who hated/didnt give a fuck about children.

Temple of Doom: still-beating heart scene...

Short Circuit 2: robot gets graphically beaten to "death" in slow motion complete with spurting red "blood" scene...

kill list - 5.94/10 mounting tension and ultra-violence descends into farce with wicker man-esque tacked on ending.

super - 6.69 first film in a looong time that made me properly lol IRL. well done office guy, ellen paige and kevin bacon!

only annoying thing is that i rented it from dvd shop at the weekend so first thing this morning i go to my lovefilm list to remove it and guess what it's in the bloody post already! out of 40 films in my list they send the one i just watched!

i thought the PG13 rated was invented for Temple of Doom , no?

id argue its because in 2012 making a movie for a broader audience at least in the studios mind always equals more money. That's why we wont see another huge franchise R rated action movie.

Ran is beautiful. It's probably my favorite Kurosawa movie, and if nothing else it's definitely his most visually arresting. You've read King Lear, right? It's a "version" of Lear, but it revisions it in a few really interesting, Japancentric ways.

I watched 13 Assassins last night. It was OK. Reminded me a bit too much of Seven Samurai (guy recruits samurai to fight injustice, there's a misfit that they let into the group, final battle that turns the town into a bloodbath, etc.). The last fight was pretty cool, I guess. I had one big beef with the film:

It's a pretty good movie, but not amazing. On par with any action flick, imo.

there is no honor in killing your enemy with an arrow

nope! in the united states you would be in the clear

in some states you would be in the clear, filming probably took place when she was 17

and lol

yes!

she was the eye candy in the film. i don't feel bad. also i saw the film when i was young so i think i'm ok

the girl with the dragon tattoo (us version)

6/10 i guess, i never got the hype surrounding these movies.

still, flol @ everyones accent and pronounciation of swedish names etc, and the way they threw in random swedish words here and there, like lisbeth saying "hej hej!" whenever she would enter an appartment without knowing if anyone was in it or not didn't make any sense at all. the english equivalent of this would be something like "hiya!" or "hi there!".
