Please don't forget Ghostdog: Way of the Samurai.

Just watched this last weekend. Wouldn't have held together without the RZA tracks but it was cool. I am also learning french so the haitian guy scenes were pretty funny.
I thought it wasnt just him solo, shouldve stuck with my og thought.

Although I'm neither a fan of the Horror nor Science-Fiction genre (let alone that this film is far from original), I love this film:

Just watched We Need to Talk About Kevin. Thought it was absolutely brilliant, one of the best films i've seen in a while. Cinematography was great as was the soundtrack which kept me pretty unsettled throughout the whole film. Really gets you thinking about the whole nature vs nurture concept.

Sounds legit. Gonna watch it this week

Has anyone seen Haywire? From what I've heard it kinda sucks despite the proper cast

Haywire is weird. Soderberg is a strange director, sort of stuck in some 80's nostalgia acid trip. Pastel colour tones, weird 80's funk music for chase scenes. Its different, its not bad but at the same time it sort of sucks.

The cast is decent which is why its sort of a let down. The lead actress is a UFC fighter and it shows. Her dialogue scenes with Channing Tatum, an equally shitty actor are cringe worthy at times.

Its worth checking out though sort of like a really shitty Bourne movie mixed with Oceans 13

The fight scenes are legit though no denying that

Really well constructed South Korean movie about a former secret agent out for vengeance. Fans of Oldboy or I Saw The Devil would like it. Reminded me of The Professional too. Starts a bit slow, but the fight scenes at the end are gnarly.

Keira Knightley deserves a Best Actress Award with this role, it honestly scared me.

Prett damn good , but the movie kinda assumes everybody is a racist deep down. Many of the issues in the movie could
have easy been resolved . Still a cool movie for alot of diffrent reasons



Pretty good , lots of dialog and good acting



While not being a movie , its a series with episodes around 1 hour and about 12 season or something . Poirot fucking rocks , and I really like this time period . Good acting and its fun to watch . More ppl should check it out

I thought Crash was such a blatant rip-off of Traffic.  Traffic was actually good though.

Really liked this. Makes me consider taking another kitchen job.

While a pretty cool documentry  . That man is pretty disgusting to watch work in a kitchen , low standards of hygiene . Dude works really dirty in the kitchen and the kitchen is dirty too . His personal hygiene is pretty shit too

still a good watch

I worked for the TV show based on the movie for a while.  Both were manipulative and no bueno, in my opinion.

Just watched We Need to Talk About Kevin. Thought it was absolutely brilliant, one of the best films i've seen in a while. Cinematography was great as was the soundtrack which kept me pretty unsettled throughout the whole film. Really gets you thinking about the whole nature vs nurture concept.
 

Tilda Swinton should have at least been considered by the dipshit academy.  I honestly found the ending a little cheesy though.

Keira Knightley deserves a Best Actress Award with this role, it honestly scared me.
She ruined the whole thing for me.  Full person.  Love Cronenberg, though.

Really well constructed South Korean movie about a former secret agent out for vengeance. Fans of Oldboy or I Saw The Devil would like it. Reminded me of The Professional too. Starts a bit slow, but the fight scenes at the end are gnarly.

I love Oldboy and thought I Saw The Devil was pretty decent, but I'm still having trouble with this movie.  It's alright, but it just seems like a near-parody of what Korean cinema is now (revenge thriller).  I need to give it a second try sometime.

Recently I've watched

Which I thought would be boring but was actually fucking awesome.  Barry Lyndon doesn't give a shit.  He's like a Spicoli of yesteryear.


Pretty meh.   Some solid wish-fulfillment, but every time they spoke I wanted to punch them.


The last shot is amazing.  The rest of the film is great too, but the last shot sums up everything about the Coens continous theme in an appropriate way:  unplanned, nihilistic chaos at work.

I fixed your links

great post, Barry Lyndon is very under appreciated. I felt the same way before watching, thought it would be slow, boring. It is dope, his character goes through such a massive transformation.

God I love this movie

Don't know why but it's come out earlier here in the UK, watched it on saturday, seriously a really great watch, thought it was brilliant! Some scenes are slightly dragged out but that was my only criticism, it was action packed and surprisingly hilarious, Loki really steals the show, Tom Hiddlestone is a fantastic villain.

After watching seasons 1-6 of HIMYM I got motivated to watch this again, good watch everytime.

After watching I Love You Man, I got motivated to watch this, awesome cast and really funny.

And finally, got to see this. Knew nothing about the film/book, except that she was a computer hacker and the rape scene. I HATE watching rape scenes, and everyone hyped it up saying it was really graphic, but it wasn't as graphic as I anticipated it to be. Rape scenes get under my skin though, hate em. Great film though! Loved the colors and the length was great, love watching long movies.

Having seen irreversible, I'd be hard pressed to be jarred by any rape scene ever again.

Watched I Am Sam. Boy is it a tearjeaker. I felt so sad when they took his daugther and he kept asking "Why isn't lucy coming home with me?"
"I'd be a teenage virgin, jerking off in my bedroom
 if I wasnt a 20 year old virgin that didn't have a bedroom."
