I AM TEH LAURRGH!!!

Cross of Iron

I hadn't seen it for a couple of years; still an enjoyable movie.
Notable stars include James Coburn, Maximilian Schell, James Mason

I was not surprised to read James Coburn was near 50 when making the film.

8/10

Before Sunrise

Watched this movie for the first time. It was okay. I think it didn't age quite well.

Europa Report 7/10

Pretty good, could have done without the aliens, but pretty good. Especially liked what they did with the fragmented plotline, what with the cameras and so on. Kept you guessing. Also, they captured that sense of claustrophobic space dread real well.

This movie should scare the shit out of Hollywood, it's a perfect example of a small budget production being miles better than anything the big studios have to offer. Special effects no longer need high powered computers these days and if you get a decent cameraman and script writer they don't really matter anyway. Wonder what their distribution model was and how much it cost to make...

I'm afraid Hollywood won't be shitting itself any time soon.
Because while movies like this prove you don't need a big budget to create quality, a small budget also means you don't have a big promotional campaign, and a lot of people just aren't even made aware of its existence.

A possible explanation as to why many recent movies feel so generic/formulaic while having interchangeable places and people.

When the last sword is drawn 2003

Really good Japanese samuari movie

at least, I think it is, because I can't tell who is who and what's been happening so I don't know wtf is going on

Seen Timecrimes ?, I'm not sure I should be recommending it but I caught it after watching a film called Triangle with a similiar story and thought both were great

interesting. thanks for the link.

Pacific Rim 7/10

Wasted possibility. More Evangelion, less Independence Day would have been perfect.

Annoying characters. Best action scenes in a long time though. The slow punches rock!

Pacific Rim = 5.5/10 - Not horrible, not great and I'd seriously bet my left testicle that Guillermo del Toro's wish of relighting people's interest in Godzilla-type movies will fail horribly. But with today's audiences being incredibly tolerant of retarded films, maybe...but I doubt it.

The film has a really long boring stretch in the middle where they try to make you care for the characters, but it's a waste of time as there really are no characters and no real acting in the whole movie and oh-my-god is Charlie Hunnam a horrible actor. He really should work only on Sons Of Anarchy, where his lip-biting scowl can be appreciated properly.

If you're gonna see it, see it in the theatre where the "epicness" of the battle scenes can be done proper on the big screen with a thumping sound system. It's certainly not the worst movie to come out this summer...not by a fucking long shot...and probably only because of the huge battle scenes.

well said

I 100% agree with this....

I've had Pacific Rim on DVD for years, but it stars a bunch of hot guys from Tonga.

The Wolverine 6.5~7

Told you giant fighting robots can make a film

Oblivion was great.

Fuck you, Sally.

Yeah, but if Tom Cruise was replaced with that actor you go gay for, would you still feel the same?

(Haven't seen the fucking thing yet, may very well be garbage, with or without the toothy midget)

Yeah, Jeff Bridges could've played the part well but he's too old.

So you're gay for Jeff Bridges ey?
Interesting, daddy issues, apparently...

SoM is a great poster compared to you.

You're hurt somehow. Like it has something to do with you. And now you're in a bad place.
Don't get mad. It's just a movie.

And there it is.
