Coolness Bears Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have watched a lot of movies recently: Johnny English Reborn: Silly and rubbish but I had fun. The after credits scene is the most fun in the entire movie. How Do You Know: Play dough will get you the spoon. Empire Records STOP CALLING ME WARREN. Very 90's film. I enjoyed its smugness/wish it was better. Meet The Feebles Grotesque nonsense. Hell in puppet form. :p B R U T A L. Silence of the Lambs. Good. Not great! First half is near perfect. It's let down by the second half. Still a solid film. Annie Hall Original 500 Days Of Summer + Larry David the movie. I loved its style. Monte Carlo Cute Crap. Whatever Works Larry David being Schmohawk for an hour and a half. Isla, Evan Rachel Woods is great. The Lookout average. JGL remains cool in this standard movie. I HAVE THE MONEY. I HAVE THE POWER. Aeon Flux SO BAD. but yay Charlize Theron! Valentines Day Jessica Biel. It was amusing and light hearted. I love celebrities. ____ Those are the new movies are watched. Scott Pilgrim and Tangled were also consumed on Bluray yesterday BOTH were shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokong Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Rented some films over the weekend with my cousin who was down visiting (due to my Caprica boxset not arriving in time) Anyway yesterday we had a bit of a freaky moment by getting two films with the same actress and didn't know. The actress also shared the same name as his wife, Rose Byrne. We were looking for some horror films and I picked up Insidious and when we looked on the back we saw the actress name "Rose Byrne" and had a bit of a laugh about it and decided to get that as neither of us had seen it and I had heard it was good. We also picked up X-Men First Class as he hadn't seen it yet and wanted to. Now I had seen X-Men: FC already but was unaware of some actor/actress' real names.... mainly that Moria was played by the same Rose Byrne. We watched X-Men first leaving Insidious till after dinner and after it got dark, when the film finished and I was looking for the remote control the credits started then up on the screen in big letters comes "Rose Byrne". We looked at each other, laughed again that his wife was in the film. Then we wait "wait a minute... we didn't see the name Rose Byrne on the back of the X-Men box.... it was on the other film" Prolly doesn't sound as exciting reading it, one of those "had to be there" moments, but we got a good laugh out of it, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Really, staggering. Two hours later and I still feel emotionally drained. Tilda Swindon is amazing. Go see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Had to force myself to read We Need To Talk About Kevin yeaars ago. Didn't enjoy it. Massively sentimental and dull. Recently I've rediscovered I have a Movie Mindfuck collection. Couldn't remember which I'd seen or not seen, and after many "oh yeah, saw this" moments I watched One point O, a low-budget dystopian future that is the sort of thing you recommend to someone who's seen Brazil or Dark City. Except way, way more dull. Lots of nice little touches and a general kafkaesque feel, but just... forced and narrow and, despite being a little thought provoking, doesn't actually answer anything. Really want some new 'mindfuck' movie suggestions. Here's the movies in the pack I have (as in, movies I've seen); 12 monkeys 2001 A Beautiful Mind A Clockwork Orange Adaptation American Psycho Barton Fink Being John Malkovich Brazil Cypher Dark City Dead Mans Shoes Donnie Darko Eraserhead Eternal Sunshine eXistenZ Fight Club Frailty Identity In The Mouth Of Madness Jacobs Ladder Lost Highway Lucky Number Sleven Memento Mulholland Drive Naked Lunch Oldboy One Hour Photo One Point O Pi Pink Floyd the Wall (Not Watched) Primer Rashomon (Not Watched) Requiem For A Dream Revolver (Lol not seen, will watch next. At least until I realise I have seen it) Scanners Session 9 Spellbound Spider Spun Limited Synechdoche New York (Not seen it yet because it's too quiet for me so I guess I need to 'get' it again) The 13th Floor (Not sure if I've seen it...) The Butterfly Effect The Fountain The Game The Illusionist The Jacket The Machinist The Number 23 The Others The Prestige The Sixth Sense The Usual Suspects Total Recall Vanilla Sky Videodrome Waking Life What Dreams May Come. Any suggestions? Otherwise I suppose I just wait until a thematic idea gets my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 American Werewolf In London This can't have ever of been good? Silly and very dated now. The Orphanage cute. It avoid a lot of horror pitfalls and was actually rather compelling. Monsterwolf This can't be real, I refuse to believe what I saw was a film. :p That said it's the hardest I have laughed in a good while and I recommend everyone to watch it!

Coolness Bears Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I don't know what that means. Nick and Norah's infinite playlist Kat Dennings. The rest was just bad, It couldn't decide what film it wanted to be so failed to be anything interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am just back from Really, really brilliant, and yeah...left me with the signature dry throat of an intense film. Very powerful and just...really good. Loved how it was structured...felt like an artist had it all on a palette and was applying it in the most interesting way to the composition. Gorge. Tilda is a real good one.

My favourite people in are The Jerk-Offs. -- We need to talk about Kevin actually looks good, "Kevin" looks creepy and I've always wanted to watch Tilda Swinton in something other than Narnia. Is it gory at all? Or more of a thriller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 We need to talk about Kevin actually looks good, "Kevin" looks creepy and I've always wanted to watch Tilda Swinton in something other than Narnia. Is it gory at all? Or more of a thriller? It's neither. It's an incredibly intense piece of drama. Go see it. Now. It's a film that isn't just a diversion, it's worth it to see. Tilda Swinton is a fantastic actress who I enjoy in everything I've seen her in - I love how she can court Hollywood and do whatever indie stuff she feels like too. She comes from an indie/art-film background, having worked with people like Jarman and Potter and stuff...so it always feels like whatever she's in, she sees some sort of artistic merit to it. That said, havent seen Narnia, and am dubious about it's artistic merit. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 He's fine but doesn't really have much room to do much other than act as a counterpoint to Tilda's character. But it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I thought it would suck but it was awesome. Didn't think Arnold could really be replaced as Conan, this dude blew him out of the water. A lot of bloody fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Snow White and the Huntsman Trailer Obviously Chris Hemsworth FTW! Actually looks kinda good... I mean I can't see myself going to watch it, but it wasn't what I was expecting from this... not that I've been following it or anything. Loving the visual style and design of it.

Paj! Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yeah looks (literally) stunning. And I'm so in the mood for Snow White as a thing. And the music. I'm reminded of Rita though (Thereon's character in Arrested Development). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 There Is Something About Kevin. When did it come out? Out of all the cinemas around me there (was) ONE showing it, and it had a total of ONE showing, yesterday. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Does seem strange that they set up production of Snow White for a summer release though?! ... actually, as I was typing that I remembered The Hobbit is gonna own Christmas 2012! So somewhat makes sense! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolness Bears Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 In Time Great concept, carried out averagely. Surprisingly not crap though. Reservoir Dogs Great. You can tell it's Quentin Tarintinos Debut but I enjoyed its crudeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
