My Neighbor Totoro - 6 / 10 amusing distraction for the day. Probably would have enjoyed it more if it was actually the movie I had intended to buy in the first place.

Ong-bak - 3/10 - It looks like it got fairly good reviews thoughONG-BAK. The subtitled dialogue was shity and it was mostly dialogue (the part I watched). Maybe I didn't watch it long enough for it to get good.

Jumper - 6/10 - Okay action film.

It tries hard to be the sickest film ever made and it comes close.... Insane Full penetration fucking some girl from behind..then someone hands him a machete and he hacks her head off. Woman gives birth in graphic close up, man pulls out baby and then he fucks it. It tries hard.

Tries a bit too hard IMO, and ends up being very forced and unbelievable. Almost to a comic degree [like you thought about Human Centipede]. It was sick, for sure, but it didn’t affect me the same way something like Irreversible did.

I downloaded it after zark mentioned it...I think I watched about 30 seconds before deleting it.
I don't understand how anyone can watch it...especially the whole thing.

I also found out about it through zark's post after searching Q3W for The Human Centipede [after seeing the South Park season debut, HUMANCENTiPAD].

I suppose the reason I watched it is a tinge of morbid curiosity but mostly because I spent some time reading up about the film, reactions to it and statements by the screenwriter:

Srdjan Spasojevic wrote:
This is a diary of our own molestation by the Serbian government. We’re giving this back to you. [..] In the past 10 to 15 years, the only films made in Serbia have no connection to Serbian reality. [..] It’s about the monolithic power of leaders who hypnotize you to do things you don’t want to do. You have to feel the violence to know what it’s about.


Which, after having seen the film, IMO is a croc of shit.

Obviously not seen it yet, but after Lars Von Trier trolled up Cannes, i'm looking forward to seeing Melancholia. He's a super director and Riget is one of the best TV series ever made.

The King's Speech - 9/10

The reluctant prince who never expected to be crowned is to succeed his brother as King George VI, has a speech impediment which hinders his ability to inspire his countrymen as England is drawn into war with Nazi Germany. A humble speech therapist with unconventional methods and requirements is found and the two get off on a rocky relationship. Great acting from all the cast. Each character shows a certain vulnerability and strength matched by the other people in the film.

"Angels of the Universe"

Really nice islandic dramedy. In the end more drama than comedy. Contains some remarkably hilarious scenes.
Follows the story of an unstable male around 30, who, after having been left by his GF, spirals down into depression and madness.
Sounds sadder than it actually is. 7/10

"Inside" / "A l'interieur"
Top notch french slasher movie. IMO, the holy grail of that sub-genre. No attempts at mythological/demonic explanations, just plain depravity.
The last night before she is supposed to go to the hospital to give birth becomes a nightmare for a photographer around 30 as a vicious "femme" all dressed in black intrudes her house and starts to terrorize her. Not in a psychological manner.
Not for the faint-hearted. Really nasty in-your-face horror-momentums. Get it un-cut. 9/10

Inside was decent, though I actually think Martyrs is the superior film, if you're into that kind of thing.

I saw both of them, brisk. As well as "Frontiere/s" and "Haute Tension".
I don't think you could compare "Inside" to "Martyrs" as the latter is not a slasher movie but rather torture/without porn.
Sure, they are all french horror movies but that does not legitimate one to throw them into one basket.
You could compare "Inside" to "Haute Tension"/"High Tension" or "Baise Moi" if you want to. And within that race, "Inside" kicks the others out of competition.
But it's a matter of taste. I, for my taste, would even consider "Inside" a better movie than "Martyrs" because it doesn't try to find a reason which goes beyond, say, "normal" (whatever that means) human behaviour.

Well sure, it it all fits cosily in that french extreme cinema mould. It is is what it is really. They're not exactly intellectual masterpieces, but there is a certain aesthetic and tension that is oddly appealing. I think it's the cinematography more than anything. Gasper Noe's films aren't really very good when you break them down, but his cinematography and camera work is just incredible. If Enter The Void was half the length and a little less repetitive, it would be a really superb film. I got serious 2001 vibes watching it.

The best "horror" film i've seen in recent years was Let The Right One In. In fact, i'd even say that the American remake "Let Me In" is the superior film, even though it's pretty much a copypasta of the original, mainly cos the performances by the lead children were superior and more human. It's such a moving, sensitive film and completely turns the vampire genre on it's head. Fantastic score too.

I haven't seen the US version yet. The swedish prod. was pretty good. I did like it although I'm not too much into the Vampire genre after all (I prefer Zombies ;)). Á propros, just finished reading "World War Z" and had read about major company/s planning an adaption for the screen with big names attached to it. Not quite sure what to think of that.

I'm looking forward to seeing Enter The Void. Probably next week. Yes, "2001" has been mentioned quite often in the reviews. Too bad I don't do drugs ;). I like Gaspar as a person. As sick of films as he does he seems to be a much more like-able character than Von Trier.

Yep. After reading what little info is out there on it i decided the chance is very slim indeed they will make this anywhere near good. There's that eternally sad looking cunt from Heroes, Brad Pitt who hasn't been all that good in his last few movies and the director is the dude who made Babylon 5, which was gash. Set expectations to low.

Eternally sad looking cunt... I wouldn't have gotten that far but OK... I see your point :).
On the downside I could imagine WWZ to be a good movie. The book is 40% perfect screen-fodder and another 20% quite nice backstory and the rest rubbish. Sure, it steals from anything known but it does so in a good way.
Also looking forward to anything new from the CGI thing/sequel to "Night Of The Living Dead". Looked promising from that one stil but seems to have been a loud mouth.

On the threat:
"Monsters"
Credits just rolled out. Hmmmm, not quite sure. What is the message? I live in Germany, my brother lives in Guatemala. So I do know a little of the actual backdrop of the mexican/US border as well as the influence of the US on the central/south american states. McCarthy till present day. Still, I didn't quite get the allegory. Immigrants in general? MS-13?
The female lead surely is an ethereal look to have at but the male lead kind of fades away.
Stil, I'd give it a 7/10 for the different approach at the genre.

edit: After a little thought I have to lower the ranking to a 6/10. As much of an effort this film is to achieve something in the genre with little money the more pityful it is that the message just doesn't get carried over.

"I spit on your grave"
Haven't seen the original but this is a fine example of why remakes are not necessary when they come at a wrong time and fail to hit the audience. From my dubbed german version I couldn't say the acting was bad. It was decent enough for what to expect from a flick like that. The Sherif could have been a lot more Bad Ass though.
What I really blame here is the script. Probably they took the "re" of revenge as a motiv and translated it into repetitive.
Waste of money, 3/10.

The Passion of the Christ - 3/10

Goes well with the horror/torture stint I've been on recently, though not quite as good as some of the others I've seen these past few weeks. I do have to say it was way too drawn out, they could've easily lost half an hour or so. The flashbacks were a nice touch.

BTW, who was the bald chick in black that walked around giving sinister looks to people? She's screaming at the sky near the end on some random patch of parched land.

Also, it reminded me quite a bit of another movie I saw a few years ago, Life of Brian. Seems they just took the basic plot from that, altered a few minor details [like the main dude's name], made it a lot less funny and called it a day.

Couldn't help but hum "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" at the end.

Go - 8/10

A dark comedy told in the Pulp Fiction unravelling of multiple storylines. A supermarket during Christmas isn't usually the most interesting of places, but for three groups of reckless friends, the intertwining threads kick off from this moment and results in a rave (it's a '90s movie), drug deal gone bad, a trip to Las Vegas, a stolen Ferrari, a very disturbing cop, some pissed off bouncers, a car chase and other trouble. Where Pulp Fiction is more disturbing, this is more comedy. Though perhaps a "lighter" version of Pulp Fiction, it does stand well on it's own and is worth a few good laughs.

I have the number for the costume/props HoD, it's gonna be huge. If i manage to get on it I can feed you info from the inside ;). There's a rumour flying round it's going to be a fucking PG-13, I really hope it's bullshit.

Inception - 7.5/10

Not nearly as confusing as I was lead to believe by others who had seen it before. They must just be stupid.

Was a pretty cool movie nonetheless.

Yes I must view this one again. Thanks for the reminder :)

The Butterfly Effect

Still getting my head around this one :smirk:
Entertaining enough for sure 8/10

Angel-a - 8/10

French black and white film, directed by Luc Besson (Fifth Element).

Image

Andre is short on everything: stature [cough]DooMer[/cough], luck and immediately important, money which he owes a large sum to just about every gangster in Paris. Faced with little options he finds himself on the edge of a bridge overlooking a river only to watch a woman take the jump before him. He jumps in to find himself rescuing the extremely tall, beautiful and blond Angela who places herself in his debt much to his confusion, following him around the seedy parts of Paris.

It is to no surprise by the title that Angela is an angel sent to help Andre (It's a Wonderful Life - though much darker). Angela is hardly angelic, she chainsmokes and seems to fit well into Andre's dark world. Andre is really a nice guy but has been hanging out with the wrong types of people for so long he doesn't seem to remember this. Angela begins to help him make up his debts and helps him to realize the good person that he is and in doing so Andre realizes that the angel has problems of her own.

Movie is well filmed, hilarious and disturbing at times. The dialog is fantastic and witty. If you're watching this (and I recommend it), be prepared to read fast or have your finger hovering on the pause button, they speak fast in French and it may be hard reading all the subtitles.

Hobo with a Shotgun - Junk. Stopped watching after 10 mins. I get that they were going after teh trashy B movie thing (and casting Rutger Hauer that that dude from Lexx was absolutely perfect within this context) but the writing was truly awful. Not 'deliberately, intelligently awful', but
'didn't spend any time on the dialog and thought that constituted a mockery of b-grade' awful. Think Matrix 2 and 3.
