The Neverending Story 8/10

Watch this for the nostalgia. Great memories of this flick. :up:

i realise its a cliche to say that the book is better, but it really is.
the movie only covers the first three chapters or so and completely ignores the themes of the book.
for instance, you'd never know why the story is considered "neverending" from watching the movie.

what im saying is, read the book. it's awesome.

I'm sure the book is great, but from the movie I think I can assume it is a neverending story because the human imagination is neverending...

hint: you're wrong

@menkent, true it starts a bit slow. what I like about it is that it starts out as some kid's fantasy coming true but quickly spirals into a story about heroes corrupted by power, depression and even suicidal tendencies.
not bad for something disguised as a children's book :)

You can tell he spent all his daddies pocket money growing up, living in a complete geek nirvana of toys and video games. He even made a thread on IMDB after Moon came out, thanking everyone for watching it.

Source Code is pretty good too, though it should have ended on that freeze frame. Those who have seen it will know what i'm talking about.


Yes, I think everyone thought the same thing. I definitely did.

Yes I did :!:

I watched Doom last night.

It was as I totally expected of course.
Entertaining for a FPS game player I suppose.

IMDB

Enjoyable for me and enough then 8/10

For the last movie I watched:

Zombie Apocalypse

3/10
Let's just say you suddenly appreciate The Walking Dead a lot more in every aspect, after watching this shit.
I only give it 2 more points because of poor Ving Rhames. Get your shit together dude :disgust:

i'm over the whole "zombie apocalypse" trope since i've started to meet people who ACTUALLY THINK IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE REAL WORLD. and I'm not just talking about fuckwit survivalists on Discovery's "Doomsday Bunkers" tv show. i mean fairly normal alltags-idiots.

Yes in consideration and hindsight (a wonderful thing) I will re rate and I don't do this often to a 5-/10 :cry: :olo:

the brood 8/10
cronenberg's most solid and straight up sci-fi horror, fucking brilliant.

tintin 4/10
fun but sterile, and the animation is a little creepy.

the hidden 7/10
showing its age but still a great action/sci-fi movie. worth a watch if only for the awesome intro and a young claudia christian.

Doom is in many ways the opposite of War of the Worlds. where the latter appears to have all the ingredients of a good action/sci-fi movie, it somehow fails, and it isn't entirely clear why. conversely, Doom is a movie that should fail in every department (the Rock, stupid premise, recycled space marine ensemble-but-not-nearly-as-good-as-aliens, script cliches "gametime!", underemployed Dexter Fletcher, etc etc), and yet is strangely watchable in spite of itself

but no, lol no, not 8/10. i'd give it a 3, and most of that goes to the weirdo with the tequila and she-boys :olo:

Green Lantern - 3 / 10

Never liked the comics to begin with (green lantern's imagination sucks... he can make anything he can think of and he makes metal shields, guns, and big fists).

The film felt rush though. Acting sucked. There wasn't much explanation about anything just that "these dudes watch over the universe. There's one dude who's yellow and angry. He needs to die."

One part that irritated me was when some fish guy was about to explain where he's from and Hal knew everything about fish-man's world already because the ring grants him stupid amounts of knowledge. Yet he didnt know who the creators of the ring, sitting on some chairs near him, were. I get they had to do that so the audience not familiar with the comics could get an explanation but still. That was stupid.

Suitably bizarre, nicely shot, fucked up subject matter and elena anaya is an instant boner-inducer.


Just watched this. I really really liked it, suitably fucked up but not in an overly pretentious way. Really good performances and a nice fresh idea. I loved the Louise Bourgeois references throughout. I'd up that to 8/10

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

IMDB

I thought a brilliant movie and worth every ounce of an 8.5/10

Very entertaining movie :up:

Excellent cast and a great look into the India of today perhaps.
I do hope it is screened there.

Deleted dead link :smirk:

Hunger Games - 4/10 - If you haven't read the book it will be shallow and boring. If you have read the book it will be shallow, boring, and disappointing. Casting is good, acting is great... after that things get tricky. Either the directing or editing was off. Maybe the screenplay? A few scenes are absolutely great and the rest of the film they really didn't know what to do without the book's first-person narrator and tried a few different solutions, few of which work well. Combine that with a string of decisions made to get a PG-13 movie in around 2:30 and the whole thing bricks. The tension, suspense, horror, and relationships that made the book good (again, mostly due to the strong voice and perspective of the narrator) are missing. Skip it in the theater and rent/netflicks it.

Would you believe I've never watched LOTR?

Yes, I've been watching the trilogy over the last 3 nights (bluray of course) and halfway through the final movie.
Don't know what scores to give them really, but I'm enjoying them.

i'll never forgive peter jackson for the idiotic dwarf tossing joke at Helm's Deep or the even more idiotic shot of Legolas surfing down a flight of stairs on a shield... not to mention the retarded scene of Legolas flipping all over an oliphant and then sliding down its trunk in RotK. should've left that stupid Saturday-morning-cartoon shit to George Lucas.

I agree. Still, I was entertained but kind of underwhelmed by Fellowship and Two Towers, but having just finished ROTK, I thought it was absolutely brilliant. 4 hours of goodness and didn't get bored once. Those epic battle scenes were stunning.

In Bruges - Pleasantly surprised. Great acting all round, genuinely funny and Ralph Fiennes doing East End hard. +Rascist Midget.

Robocop - Still a classic after all these years. Sure, some of the tech hasn't aged well (the biggest thing that sticks out in Eighties Sci Fi being CRT monitors), but the Robocop suit itself is a masterpiece of Sci Fi cinema design, and the movie is still wonderfully subversive. Someone should start giving Verhoeven massive amounts of money to make Sci FI again.

Battle Royale - Stunningly good. I think the last time I saw it was something like eight or nine years ago, possibly longer, but it's still fantastic. Sure, some of the kids play it a bit too melodramatic but it's not really lost its impact. I definitely need to see more Beat Takeshi movies. Recommendations?

and let's not forget the "ax stuck in his nervous system" line from the extended RotK :dork:

sonatine - if you haven't seen it/them already then watch violent cop and boiling point first. they don't have anything to do with each other, but he got technically better as a film-maker. his version of zatōichi is awesome.

boondock saints - 7/10
never gotten round to this one before, despite hearing it mentioned again and again. in a lot of ways it's a bog-standard vigilante action/comedy with a weak script - but plenty of tricks in the presentation, some good jokes and an entirely unhinged star turn by willem dafoe (and whoever played the italian guy with the long hair) make it a must see.

mothman prophecies - 3/10
donnie darko for old people, basically nothing happens.

21 Jump Street - 7/10 - actually really, really funny. funniest thing i've seen since Hangover, but if you didn't like that then you probably won't like this.

The Darkest Hour.
lol/awful
This laughably poor CGI in 2012? Really?
Plus the forced optimistic ending, actually implying sequel potential :olo:

Nice, original premisse.
Quite watchable.

Melancholia
Snore porn.

I know you're supposed to adore everything Lars von Trier decides to shit out, to make you look like an intellectual, but this is just an exercise in boredom.
Stars and revolves around Kirsten Dunst; Tries to make you care about all her apprehensions and confusedness, but you won't care about the silly bint.
Just smash the planets together, already.

Watch the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes dealing with the the actual planet collision, and save yourself some time.
The rest is just actors adding "I've been in a Von Trier"-flick to their resume.
