A few films recently watched.

district 9

still entertaining, the main character is such a likeable asshole.

hey, previous page was good, I agree wholeheartedly with Jesse James and TWBB, both great films!

Has anyone heard anything about PTA's The Master? Other than the fact that it's really pissing off Scientologists? Is it wrong that this alone is getting me excited?

http://ocmb.xenu.net...php?f=9&t=31749 cool thread about The Master

here is a German movie about scientology (full length with english subs)

it's kind of a funny story - watched this because it's the same people who did half nelson. i don't know how they went from a nuanced character study with real emotional resonance to this. garbage. 2/10 also, zach galifianakis is a funny guy, why does he keep doing shit films?

money is a hell of a drug

yeah, what am i saying, he started out doing shit films.

we need a Larry Sanders style 'Between Two Ferns' film to give Zach the street cred he should already have.

I lol'd a lot at Due Date.

The scene with Julliette Lewis and weird afro'd boyfriend is funny as fuck.

yeah it's got the lols for sure, caught it on tv again recently and liked it much more than the first time.

You could have stuck RDJ and Zach G on screen for 90 minutes doing just about anything and I would have lol'd but that premise was actually quite hilarious.

Due Date always sat very strangely with me because of very oddly touched up fake bronzer they put on Zach G's face in the movie poster. If i could find an image i would but it was seriously the weirdest 'shopped' poster i've seen since the 2nd X-files movie

That's the most flol ever criticism yet penned on this site!

Just watched NEDS, loved it - great film! Thanks for the recommendation, watmm.

9/10 for me

bahaha

you have the weirdest (best) reasons for not liking movies. it's always some peripheral marketing issue or assumption you've made about where the movie draws inspiration or just a flat out bias you have. but it's great. don't stop being you.

Mish impossiblu 4 - Most regretical.

Started out ok, cheesy but nice pacing/action/developing plot. Then they lost the plot. I'm pretty sure it ended up on the cutting room floor, if they didn't nix it at the script dev stage.

I can recommend NEDs too... i enjoyed it.

Take Shelter - good. Great acting. I love Michael Shannon. Great cinematography and overall look to the film. I wish the plot had been a little thicker.

Death at a Funeral (original) - solid lols, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I want to believe that I Want To Believe is not a terrible film. Chris Carter (not from throbbing gristle, different one) has a documentary on the DVD saying the movie was intentionally a 'green production', is that what you say to convince yourself when the studio will not give you very much money and you're a weed smoking native american worshipping hippy

I only managed to get through the first few mins of that movie. So it was terrible was it then.
