The last movie you saw

[GONNAFISTYA]

It's "clever" but not "intelligent"? And you expected a horror thriller to be "more intelligent"?

You, sir, are a fucking retard who's opinions should forever be ignored.

[Plan B]

Olympus has fallen.

So much ridiculous. It's Die Hard + Rambo's retarded luv baby with a bunch of flag waving nonsense.
Can't imagine even the reddest of rednecks getting a patriotic boner over this.
Still, finished it because of all the hilarity, so 5.5/10.

[Plan B]

The Cabin in the Woods - 7/10

clever; but i expected it to be more intelligent.

I was pleasantly surprised by its originality, but I certainly wasn't expecting something intelligent (whatever the fuck that means).
Thought it basically would be a generic Evil Dead knockoff, but then things turned sideways, which was cool.

i read a lot of praise about it playing with genre conventions in a clever way, etc.

it did and i was pleased with the film but i hoped for more: the two main jokes are the dedoubled perspective (and this idea is used quite well; for example to shed light on the fact that the audience derives pleasure from watching the protagonists suffer) and the interference of the surveillance crew to generate the cliché behaviour (this was a lot of fun - pheromone fog, etc.).

i was however expecting another twist on the concept for the last third.

but instead of offering something new for the finale they simply played out what was hinted at in the first two thirds and added some boring action scenes.

so while it started fresh and clever it became stupid in the last act.

[ and i don't think a particular genre automatically generates stupid output. ]

[GONNAFISTYA]

fuck u...

[Plan B]

Oh yeah, Some guy who kills people.

Odd one this.
Murder and mayhem, some comedy, some sentimental drama at times.
It feels like a Kevin Smith movie, only with more direction and purpose.
Quite enjoyed it.

KickAss 1

dat dual reload shot >:T

[menkent]

you mean where Hit Girl is out of ammo and magically flips two clips into her guns while running down a hall?

[MKJ]

indeed.

Went to see Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa last night. 8/10

[Unisaw]

Oppenheimer was on the Daily Show last week. Can't wait to watch - a great study of the human animal.

The Act of Killing 8/10

A British documentary maker goes to Indonesia to speak to the perpetrators of the 1950-60 genocide. He finds a few of em, astonishingly they all tell him proudly about how they killed people and stole their shit... "Some of them weren't even communists" one guys admits laughing; "We just wanted their things". Most of the former killers are now powerful men in positions of influence, protected by gangsters and the state. They appear to have no regrets at all, actually being quite proud of saving their country from the communists.

So the documentary maker challenges them to recreate the attrocities they commited and film them, in a scene and a genre of their own choosing. He gets the help of a local TV studio and off they go.

The results are completely and utterly fucking mental; we see a twisted musical, a psychotic nightmare scene, a 50's style gangster hollywood scene, etc. It's a sickening mindfuck, though what's interesting is that doing this is for a few of them opening up a floodgate of old wounds... the last scene has one of the perpetrators walking around the area where he and his buddies killed hundreds, dry heaving and becoming utterly distraught. "Have i sinned?" he asks. Well no fucking shit dude.

Powerful, powerful stuff. See this (instead of the latest superhero movie, you uncultured swine).

Stealth

Sure you've seen it but here is a brief hint. US Navy creates a futuristic fighter jet piloted by an artificial intelligence

What can I say? Seemed 'B' grade in the first 1/4 but picked up somewhat.
I wouldn't say well worth watching but I'd never seen and don't need top again.

Most of the cast I'd never seen but there were some surprise (Australian)appearances. Richard Roxburgh, John Waters & Megan Gale.

Interesting: 6/10

[Tsakali]

interestingly enough, some of the most successful movies have a cast never seen before. I think it allows you to be immersed in the character's story without being affected by previous associations of a well known actor. Makes things feel more genuine.

Kinda has that 'first time feeling' thing working for 'em.

[xer0s]

Yeah, I agree. Example, Ben Afleck is the new Batman. I won't be able to see anyone except Ben. He not a character actor like Bale is. Bad choice

[Whiskey 7]

The Bible (2013)

A tele-movie, 10-hour, five-part, mini-series and not bad either.
Yes you had to sit through ten hours but every week I was looking forward to the story unfolding, so get a chance, give it a go

IMDB

Yes, Biblical .. 7/10

[losCHUNK]

Bring back Michael Keaton !, Bale got quote boring anyway, between him and Bane I thought I was watching an episode of the Clangers with all 3 movies riding on Heath Ledgers awesome. Dunno what Affleck will be like, I thought it was funny when I heard but you can bet your ass he won't be the worst and if they get Matt Damon to play Robin they've already got me sold

[ToxicBug]

Jiro Dreams of Sushi - 9/10
The Place Beyond the Pines - 7/10
Esylium (IMAX) - 3/10
Star Trek Into Darkness - 8/10

[GONNAFISTYA]

Yeah....Elysium was such a huge disappointment. After seeing it in IMAX last week I watched a shitty cam torrent of it the other day and, without the beautiful visuals, the film simply does not hold up as an interesting or compelling movie....it's just so fucking boring. Even the "action" is boring. Shitty acting, one-dimensional characters. Meh...I'm revising my score from a 6/10 to a 4/10. Only watch it in IMAX.

Then forget you ever saw it. Trust me, it won't be that difficult.

It's kinda funny that I watched Oblivion to "get primed" for Elysium and Oblivion turned out to be a much better movie.

[Tsakali]

and the director seems to be on a self destruct course. he said his next movie is to be a silly comedy

One hit wonder... nothing see here, move along

[Tsakali]

Bale got quote boring anyway, between him and Bane I thought I was watching an episode of the Clangers with all 3 movies riding on Heath Ledgers awesome.

are you taking the crack?

There will never be another batman like Christopher Nolan's Bale...I think batman is done for me

[obsidian]

Bale's Batman could easily have had a movie tie-in for throat lozenges.

[seremtan]

they never showed the bit where he applied the eyeliner

[Doombrain]

There was some chap on 6 music from empire mag doing his bane impression. Very funny.
