im off to see die hard 4 this friday, heard good reports... only bad reports are for people who didnt expect die hard to be a far fetched action block buster... duh, its die hard!!

looking forward to catching all of these...

the dark night

i really enjoyed the last batman movie, much darker and more real than the previous outings. im a bit unsure about heath ledger playing the joker, obviously jack nicholson left some big boots for him to fill... should be interesting to see how ledger plays the role.

ironman

this looks pretty cool... good to see robert downey jr as a hero  :laugh: i'll check this out solely for the fact that ghostface killah named himself tony starks and dropped an album called ironman. if ghost isnt on the soundtrack, someone's head should roll... 

superbad

this looks funny as... mclovin!! anyone seen it yet?

*waits for weez's review*

I love that movie, a definitive anime classic for sure.
If you liked NS, you'll love Wicked City. If you haven't seen WC, then do so asap.
The same director did those movies, as well as Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. (Also a good movie)
Vampire D is really hard to get dubbed in Japanese, if someone has a copy please share the love.

if u are wandering round the city and feel like something to do, teh Merc Cinema is showing FROM DUSK TIL DAWN tonite! $7 entry, bargain! And the beer/wine (which u can take into the cinema, ) is pretty darn cheap too!

Would be going myself, but I have a date with Deckard 

Watched Invasion last night with Kidman in it... NOT BAAD!!!
But the ending could of been a bit more interesting.

7.5/10

Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof will be released in Australia in November 8th. Although there is no date when Planet Terror is going to be released, it will possibly be released early 2008.

Here is the release schedule for the film and basic details on DVD in America, other countries may vary:

GRINDHOUSE Presents DEATH PROOF: September 18th, 2007.
GRINDHOUSE Presents PLANET TERROR: October 16th, 2007.


FAQ's are pretty interesting, they say that there is one character who links these movies with From Dusk Til Dawn and Kill Bill!

cinemas can deal with the idea, apparently the general public struggles... it flopped financially in the states, causing the distributors to shit their pants and try and make their money back by releasing the two films seperately.




im keen as to see superbad...

Griff and I are going to see the Bourne Ultimatum on Tuesday

yeh you gumbus its in my original post about the film - there an r rarted preview on there, you just have to put in your date of birth and make up a US postcode (I used 90210 he he) to view it. Its super hot zombie gore, the second one was a bit gash but this one looks so gory....zombie fucking CROWS that swoop peeps to attack em and loads of zombie brain splatter!

ZOMBIES FTW

Just saw the doco on Joe Strummer of the Clash.

Awesome doco, awesome dude 

Really liked how they used interviews with Joe to tell the story of his life, cut with interviews with his friends.

The only criticism I have is that there was no names for any of those interviewed.

It looks a bit EPIC. However, just from that trailer, I liked the look of the zombies better in Dawn of the Dead. Still, anyone who knows me, knows that I'm always down for a zombie flick! 

Zombie flicks are the bomb ish. I've seen a lot in my day, but these rate a special mention...
Romero's trilogy of course
Braindead
Undead
Return of the Living Dead
Zombie Flesh Eaters/Zombie Holocaust
Braaiiiiinssss.....

Braindead is bloody hilarious.

Dawn of the Dead is possibly my most favourite zombie movie of ALL TIME. I was impressed with Land of the Dead, but thought it was a bit lame that the zombies started learning stuff... they are *braindead*, they can't learn!

28 Days Later is a ZOMBIE flick and it's also awesome. I still haven't seen 28 Weeks Later though 

Most of the old zombie movies go WAY too slow for my liking. I definitely like the new ones where the zombies run & move crazy fast... and also make awesome, scary gnashing, hissing, screaming noises

Agreed on Land of the Dead. I hate it when they learn. Takes all the fun out of it imo.
Also, well done on the 28 (insert time measurement here) Later mention. Forgot bout those two, but they are good indeed.
Also left out Shaun of the Dead. Doubtless many other great zombie movies I've forgotten at this time!
If your interested in zombie reading material, I highly recommend The Walking Dead graphic novel series by Robert Kirkman and also The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Great stuff. Marvel also did a short 'Marvel Zombies' series as well that's worth checking out.

Way ahead of you, I bought The Zombie Survival Guide last year. It's my most treasured book. I've read it several times! 

Keen to check out those other books though

The learning bit was following on from Day of the Dead how that scientist taught 'Bob' to do stuff...I think that's what Romero was trying to do with his saga...show the evolution of the zombies (and society in general) progressively over the films.

Having said that I was really disappointed with Land of the Dead...not a patch on the first three (especially Dawn of the Dead)..

:lol:

Wonder what his newie 'Diary of the Dead' will be like? Not a fan of the premise (Blair Witch Zombies basically), but I'll never be a hater when it comes to zombie flicks made by Romero. I saw Land of the Dead (Asia Argento! Hot!) and whilst it wasn't as good as the trilogy preceding it, it was still a very decent zombie movie. You wanna see some zombie shit? Check out some of the trash that has been made using Romero's masterpieces, through some legal loophole, as their basis. Day of the Dead 2: Contagium or Night of the Living Dead 3D are just two that come to mind!

Oh ok... I get it... but I just don't agree with zombies learning 

I was very skeptical of Land of the Dead when it was released and didn't see it for a long time because I thought it would be complete POO... but I thought it was good, for what it was. I'm not sure much can compete with Dawn of the Dead though!

Oooer! I will definitely be seeing that when it's released here. I was a fan of the Blair Witch movie, even though so many people *hated* it. Lots of reviews on IMDB... some say it's fantastic, others say it's shit... regardless, I *will* see this movie

Yeah, I thought Blair Witch was good too. I remember getting told about it at highschool. "Hey man, did you hear about that movie where they found these cameras in a house in the woods?!? It's real man!" Sequel sucked dogs balls though.

i caught the sequel on late night tv

it was so horrible that i couldnt turn it off

Ugh, the sequel was bad, bad, bad.

Plane Dead: Flight of the Living Dead
This movie was fucking hilarious. Zombies, on a plane. The plot was way too indepth and there was far too much dialogue for the film... but it was really funny. My patience did start wearing thin towards the end though, when it just became insanely ridiculous and I just wanted the movie to be over already.

Turistas
I was on the edge of my seat for this entire movie. It's basically about a group of white tourists in South America and they end up having the holiday from hell... kind of along the same lines as Hostel. I enjoyed this one, but would have preferred more hacking.

Sunshine
About a crew of scientists, sent to detonate a bomb in the sun to reignite it. It's very similar to Event Horizon. I really liked it, it was super intense and had some great creepy parts.

Night At The Museum
A movie about a deadbeat dad who needs to get a job and ends up working as the night watchman at the natural history museum - hilarity ensues. I love Ben Stiller and I was keen to see this when it was released at the cinema. I thought it was good and funny.... but I hate the kids in movies, they annoy the pants off me.

Saw that Plane Dead at the video shop when I went in there about an hour ago. Might check it out next time if it's got your recommendation! Am interested in Turistas as well, but it was out. Sunshine is a great movie, watched that a couple of weeks ago. As for Night of the Museum, I thought that was very decent for a kids movie. Good fun. I love that Jumanji/Zathura/Night at the Museum 'things come to life' genre!
Ended up renting 'The Reaping' and 'The Notorious Bettie Page'. Hmmm.

Plane Dead is so BAD it's GOOD. It's ridiculous and stupid, but funny. Fun to watch with someone else 

Little Miss Sunshine
I was expecting this to be a lot funnier than it was, but it did have a couple of moments that made me laugh out loud. Lots of great acting... I liked it.

Day of the Dead
Ugh. Slow and boring. Some awesome gory moments, but not enough to hold my interest for the whole film.

Is that the George Romero one? I loved that one. Heard that the extras who ate Capt Rhodes guts got sick cos they left the offal used inthe scene out of refridgeration.

Yeah, that's the one. I like it when the zombies are fast and mega scary... these ones were far too slow, like in the original Dawn of the Dead. It did have some awesome gross scenes though

Trasharama a go-go is on this weekend!! Clashes with our housewarming n Matty's going away drinks tho! dammit...  :P

air guitar nation rocked!!!!!!!! go see it! i love the soundtrack too. bring on the next state finals for air guitar!!! 

Just caught Die Hard 4.0 (or Live Free or Die Hard) and was happy with it. Not a fan of any hacker plotlines that have ever existed in cinema but what can you do? If I could just press a button to fill my bank account with illegal funds! Hmmmm. Anyone know how to do this? But yeah, the setpieces were decent enough. Definitely not enough blood for a Die Hard flick though.
Am looking forward to seeing what Indy IV will be like!

OMG scary vampires are the coolest! Not much of a zombie fan, tho I love the original zombie films, 28 days later scared the crap out of me too!

Silent Hill was a bit weird as a scary film, sure it woulda been way more scary on the big screen...

watched epic movie the other night. totally brainless attempt at humour, but i didnt really expect much more than that. if i were you, i probably wouldnt bother...

i watched flushed away the other night!

another harmless cute animated film.  fantastic for a monday night after a largeish weekend!

im downloading the original Debbie Does Dallas!!

 

im downloading the original Debbie Does Dallas!!

I hate it when movie titles give away the ending. I wanted a bit of mystery. Maybe 'Does Debbie Do Dallas?'. Then there would be some suprise.

hahah yeah fair point but i dont watch porn for the story line

I like a bit of cat and mouse style chasing. I don't like the girls to be too easy. I like it when they play hard to get. Aw, fuck it. Who am I kidding? It's all about the doodle vs fanny action!

I saw The Jammed last night and it was the most confronting movie I have seen in recent memory.  Its about the sex slave trade in Australia and tells the story of three victims.  It is also definitely the best Australian movie I have seen in a long time. 

Just finished This is England... def not all it's been hyped up to be. Just didn't really go anywhere so 5/10

Today, so far I have watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Memoirs of a Geisha

Today, so far I have watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Memoirs of a Geisha :inlove:

Old Boy was on SBS last week...

Fantastic movie. It's like a Korean version of Saw, but more psychological than gruesome.

watched a couple of movies over the last few days...

1408: story about a guy who visits haunted places and writes about them. in all his travels he never actually saw anything to convince him that there was anything supernatural going on. one day he gets a postcard telling him about room 1408 at this hotel in new york. he tries to get a booking and gets shut down. eventually he convinces the manager of the hotel to let him stay. the manager wasnt too keen as there have been more than 50 deaths in that room. the movie is about the writers time in room 1408. it wasnt gory or anything but definitely a bit on the twisted/scary side. if you like these sorts of movie then you should probably check it out if you havent done so already.

i now pronounce you chuck and larry: typical family friendly adam sandler comedy, not that its a bad thing. loads of funny bits that make you laugh out loud, and you get to see jessica beil in her undies!

kickin it old school: a kid has a breakdancing accident that puts him in a coma. 20 years later he awakes from the coma to find out his parents are in financial ruin due to his hopsital bills. the only way to get enough money to cover these bills is to enter a dance competition. hilarity ensues to some extent, not a brilliant movie but it was good for a few giggles.

die hard 4: probably a little bit on the long side, but i didnt mind it. great cameo from kevin smith! bruce willis is still a bad ass, even though 90% of what he did wouldnt even be possible in real life. definitely a bit far fetched, but its john mcclane... yippie kayae muthafuckers!

I quite liked 1408, but I'm a Stephen King fan and have read the short story so it wasn't a great stretch for me haha!

Just downloaded Chuck & Larry gotta check it out soon...

watched tmnt last night.

bloody good for an animation i must say. much more of an adults film than a kids also.

4 stars. (for the type of film it is)

The Last Kiss with Zach Braff = most depressing movie ever!!

just breakup after breakup! I do not recommend it!

Why do all movies have to be happy or be full of action?

I love sitting down to a movie that actually gets some emotions flowing... they can also make you think about things in your own life.

I highly reccommend Life As A House for those that haven't seen it, def one of my all time fave movies.

i m with u cleasc, movies should have something in em that represent the full range of human emotions - disgust, fear, happiness, love, hope, etc!! thats why i like indy foreign films so much, hollywood mainstream can be so cliche!!

speaking of hollywood mainstream tho, bring on some hot sci fi action!!!
New Pictures of the Predalien
Half Alien. Half Predator. All wrong.

I also enjoy movies that make you think and have alot of emotion.
and I never said it had to be all happy but this just had zero happiness and was so negative! It didn't have a full range of human emotions.
 It just makes you not wanna be in a relationship ever and has the view that they are all doomed!

I went and saw Control last nite, fuckern AWESOME film, it is a pretty interesting take on Ian Curtis' life and the days of Joy Division. Its heartbreaking stuff too, that was one torn man, his lyrics are still brilliant and Joy Division's songs are just so original, and could hold up as new releases today I reckon.

last night gary and i watched the GRINDHOUSE flicks: Planet Terror and Death Proof. JESUS FUCKME CHRIST!!! Anyone that knows me will tell you what a massive nerd I am for Tarantino and Rodriguez films, and seriously, both these films are FUCKING INCREDIBLE, totally everything the best from both of these guys. Tough, funny, cool, full of action, awesome gorey shit, hot bitches, awesome weaponry and soundtracks that just made me wet!

each film in their own right amazing, but together, one after the over, nothing but sheer cinematic perfection! I'm am that fucking impressed.AT LEAST 986 stars!

oh crap, I'm supposed to be going to the drive in to see Death Proof tonight but am happier here on the couch 

oh u have to go nat!!!!

there is no point just seeing one of them, might as well see them both back to back, as they were meant to be seen!

there is no point just seeing one of them, might as well see them both back to back, as they were meant to be seen!

but i wanna see em on the big screen!

will just have to wait n see em at the merc, hopefully will be in the next 6 months!

i don't see why deathproof wouldn't be wicked at the cinema on it's own... i enjoyed watching them back to back, but it's not like they're related stories or anything.

so true! deat proof is classic tarantino, so worth seeing it in on its own even just for the awesome direction and cinematography

Seeing em back to back ain't that much of a priority for me...I was just really keen to see the 'trailers' they had created for the intermission...they would have been awesome. Surely they'll chuck them on the DVD release...

i watched this is england the other day, it was good but kinda depressing! feel sorry for the kid.

i thought that was a really really average movie. since when were skinheads all nice and such?

ghey!

I have a ticket for the new SAW movie ... who wants to come watch it with me ??

watched daywatch last night, which is the follow up to nightwatch. its a russian movie about two groups of people, the light and the dark aka the good and the bad... i remember the first movie was pretty cool... having watched the sequel i now regret not rewatching the original to remind myself what it was all about. the movie was dubbed which kinda sucked, but the story was interesting although a little fractured as i forgot what the first movie was about. definitely recommend checking it out, but it might be an idea to watch the movies back to back.

Going to see Saw 4 this afternoon 

Yeah I havent seen Nightwatch, kicking myself too cause its meant to be great! Right, gonna have to track it down

The trailer for Daywatch was described by my friend as Blade meets Matrix with a touch of 24 Hour Party People hahaha, it was an amazing trailer thats for sure!

its nothing like that at all, but still worthy of a watch

i know, but the trailer sure looks like it is!!

works taking us to see Death at a Funeral on Monday night.  no idea what it's about.  meant to be funny.

better be if i'm to be hanging out with work crew for 3 hours out of work!

chuck a sickie 

would you like to come?  and then i'll just go without you!!   

harsh but fair

Jonny Now
Starring Vinnie Jones sealed the deal for me at the video shop and he didn't disappoint. Vinnie brought some of his usual hard as ice character living in a squat house hiding from a past that he isn't too proud of. Living with him are a Rasta pirate Dj above and a dealer below. Life seems to be going smoothly enough until an unexpected visit from an old 'friend'.

Quite enjoyed this one, a little slow at times but overall a good story and some excellent casting make this one a winner.

3.5/5

Went to the cinema and saw Saw 4 last week. It was good, better story line than 3 plus new and super gross killing machines and techniques. I actually yelped out loud and jumped in my seat at one scene... thank god there were only four of us in the whole cinema!

This week, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT OH YEAH 

my friend beau is dropping off a dvd full of awesomeness...Earthsea by Studio Ghibli, and NIGHTWATCH WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely fucking hilarious!!

any film with a midget on acid is going to be funny!!!

watched 'the magician's'  last week. was seriously one of the funniest movies i've seen in a while.

basically it's a british comedy about two magicians (who used to be best friends and partners in a show) trying to get back what they used to have before one of them accidentally decapitated his helper (wife) during one of their big shows.

has some of the best one liners in it, and all in all was excellent viewing.

british comedies have that extra bit of quality in comedies as is, but this one had a bit more quirkiness to it as well, which i really dug.

4 stars.

Just found a few of the fake Grindhouse trailers online. Damn they are gold, especially Eli Roth's Thanksgiving.

You can see that one online here. Wince at the trampoline scene near the end!

Word is the DVD releases at the moment don't contain the fake trailers which is bullshit! Let's hope the local release is a pimped out special edition that has them all on.

The list I have so far (links go to the trailers I have found):

Werewolf Women of The SS (Rob Zombie)
Don't
Thanksgiving (Eli Roth)
Machete
Hobo With A Shotgun

 

Ooh ta for the hookups Glock!

And sera, glad the movie was funny, will have to track it down

Ooh a new film adaptation of a graphic novel...

Wanted film trailer

Stars James Mcavoy and Angelina Jolie

Could be a bit sameo, but sounds kinda cool..Lets see if it delivers!

I cant wait to see the Assasination of Jesse James. Looks awesome.

30 Days of Night was cool. The story line was a bit lacking but overall it was a good movie, lots of scary bits and lots of gross bits!!! YEAH!

Off to see Death Proof this week, woo!

I watched Planet Terror yesterday. Haven't seen Death Proof yet, probably go see that this week.
So fucking good! I really hope that Rodriguez and Tarantino don't blow off the idea of making more of these types of flicks because of the perceived poor response to them commercially. They are fucking brilliant! The exact type of movie I wanna watch everytime I go to the cinema.
Although, looking back on the careers of said directors it becomes quite clear that these aren't the first Grindhouse movies they have made. All Tarantino's movies could possibly fit into the genre (broadly admittedly) and Rodriguez is even worse. With the exception of his kiddie-glicks (Spy Kids and the like) most of his films are blatantly grindhouse (El Mariachi/The Faculty/From Dusk Til Dawn(!!!))
So whilst I applaude the idea of these two guys concentrating on enriching the experience for the audience, I also think they may believe said audience to have a pretty short attention span! The only difference between their new grindhouse and old grindhouse is that this time they made it obvoius.

Yeah I enjoyed Death Proof and thought Planet Terror was only the best movie ever - it was pure non stop action, gore and cheese on a huge budget!  Loved every minute of Planet terror.   

1 and 2 were great. 3 was just a bit sick and im not too sure if 4 will be any good... let us know if its worth watching? 

Yer, I did enjoy it! I think it was pretty good. Some awesome gross parts, if you're into that... and a bit of a twist at the end. The ending seemed like it was left open for a fifth movie too.

Saw a movie that I actually enjoyed for the first time in a while, but then again it had leonardo in it, and i enjoy all his movies, even though he is the same in all of them pretty much.

BLOOD DIAMONDS - really good watch!!

"30 days of shite" - absolute load of bollocks.

tis a damn fine film that one, and Djimon Honsou or whatever the fuck his name is, is a damn good actor as well....I have been trying to track down Cry Freetown for ages because of it as well, but it gets less distribution than it should, and im too lazy to look properly

ahh ok nice one 

Ooh yeah next week's Cult Friday at the Merc is...

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW WOO!

http://mercurycinema.org.au/screenings/cultfridays07.html

Ooh for the japanese cinephiles

Link to watch Kurosawa movies online

Tongan flicks FTW!!!

Nevar!

I have the first Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score, on the DL right now!

Ohhhhh yeahhhh...

i saw an AWESOME doco last nite. Demon of the Derby which was shown as a fundraiser for the Adelaide Roller Derby Girls!!

It was totally awesome n rad (even if a bit b-grade) cause the heroine of teh story, Ann Cavello, was such a fucking champ! Denis Rodman and Madonna dont have anything on this lady! She skated over 7 decades, in the rollerderby. Very cool lady.

Saw 30 days of night last week. Dont waste your time watching this movie. Biggest waste of the price of a ticket ever. Not the least bit scary and doesn't really do the vampire theme any justice.

we watched DAYWATCH last night, all I can say about this film is I spent the whole time feeling really confused, and its not really until the last 20 mins or so that it becomes clear that YOU MUST WATCH THE FIRST FILM NIGHTWATCH BEFORE YOU SEE THIS.

on tele last nigth i watched a doccoish kinda film KARAOKE SOUL. Its such a lovely film, and if they show it on the ABC or somewhere like that back home, or you can get it on the dl, do so. So cute and such an interesting way of looking at grim midland english life.

even if you have seen nightwatch before, i highly recommend watching it again before watching daywatch... i saw nightwatch when it came out and i was a bit lost when i watched daywatch because i couldnt remember everything. very cool movies

sooooo last night gary finally talked me into watching GUMMO....ooookkaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy. I've seen and participated in some pretty wrong shit in my 31 years but I think this takes the cake. Not as disturbing as others had made it out to be, but I am totally glad I was only drunk when I watched and not coming down or something. That may have been a problem.

Ha ha. Larry Clark has made some crazy movies. I liked Bully and Another Day In Paradise and Ken Park. Pretty disturbing fare. Kids is pretty wrong too. Check Rosario Dawson.

yeh i;ve seen kids loads of times. god i totally heart chloe sevigny

I watched Brown Bunny on Foxtel a while back. Saw it on DVD before and I wanted to see if they were gonna leave the cock-sucking scene in there. Nope! Fuck, I hate edits of movies!

Brown Bunny is hands down the worst movie ever made, and Vincent Gallo should be forced to state a lengthy public apology for such conceited, narcissistic crap. I know he allegedly made one in Cannes, but he reneged on that one, and only angry critics were able to experience it. I don't think Roger Ebert was harsh enough in his acerbic review, or the subsequent war of words that it spawned. Even 3 hours of hardcore porn with Chloe Sevigny could not save that film from being the worst film ever made.

and gummo isn't one of them.

written and directed by harmony korine... who also wrote the screenplay for kids.

Hahaha, Gummo is seriously disturbing.

I want to see Nightwatch and Daywatch!

yeah me too! i have nightwatch on dvd, need to checkit so i can see daywatch sometime this week!

bladerunner final cut premiered this week, rutger hauer opened the screenings in sydney and melbourne

Can anyone suggest some movies similar to these ones pleaseeee:
Half baked, How high, friday, Dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood, Gangsta rap the glockumentary, Undercover brother, the one with the black dude and the magic belt, and more but i forgot them.

Also has anyone ever seen Jacobs Ladder??? what a head fuck ehy!

 

magic belt = pootie tang

with a list like that you really need to see fear of a black hat and cb4 if you havent done so already

I was thinking of something to add and everything escaped me - cb4 is possibly the best on the list!

coneheads was on the tele last night, never really picked up on how impressive the cast was!

dan akroyd
phil hartman
chris farley
david spade
eddie griffin
adam sandler
michael richards
jason alexander
drew carey
kevin nealon
jon lovitz
+ more

ooh reviews are in...Dark Knight sounds good!

ar eview of first 7 minutes of the new batman film!

http://www.empireonline.com/empireblog/Post.asp?id=75

Though I dont know about this quote...

Do you reckon Heath Ledger is just gonna mumble his way through another film??

Also...watch the first 5 minutes of AVP2!

leaked dark night trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwT8GyLxIhk

check it before it gets taken down

after watching KEN PARK the other night i retract my previous comments about Gummo being the wrongest film ever

that is all

Ta khemmo!

Ta khemmo!

well, last night we copped Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror.... yeh...okaaayyy its funny, not the least bit scarey and i feel a little less intelligent for watching it really...quite harmless though, a good way to kill an hr or so.

After that though, we watched Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny. I had been putting off watching this flick for evertimes cuz I really thought it was gonna be shit. But fuck me, with the exception of Beverely Hills Cop, that is easily the funniest fucking film I have ever seen! R&T and I were pissing ourselves lauging through the whole film. I could easily watch it again right now and still piss my pants with giggles.

We just watched The Simpsons Movie with the kids. It was alright, nothing special other than a super long ep of The Simpsons.

ooh how cool, a film made entirely from SURVEILLANCE footage, without the people knowing they were being filmed!
http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/70257/

awesome movie

:slayer:

Saw it for the first time a few weeks back and must agree - shitloads funnier than what I was expecting.

YAYYYYYYYYYYY NEW TDK TRAILER!!!
  The Dark Knight Trailer (http://atasteforthetheatrical.com/deathtrap/default.htm)

All i can say is, Maggie Gyllenhaal OW YEAH!!!!!!!! And Joker is ok, cant heath ledger find his own joker voice instead of copying jack nicholson?? Least he isnt muttering heheheh! Mm and christian bale :drool:

watched gremlins on the weekend :teefslay:

pan's labyrinth is on tele tonight. downloaded it ages ago and never got around to watching it, so hopefully i will remember to watch it tonight... it looks amazing!

I LOVE GREMLINS! :inlove:

watched gremlins on the weekend

I LOVE GREMLINS!

I don't think he has borrowed much from Nicholson at all. They both sound gruff and manic, and both change their tone rapidly, but it is essential for the character. They are obviously going for a far darker Joker in this one, and it sounds like Ledger went through a ridiculous amount of prep. for it. Including locking himself in a hotel room for months. I think you can basically trust Nolan and/or Bale in almost anything as well. I agree on Maggie Gyllenhaal though, so glad Katie got replaced by a woman with 10 times the talent.

Gremlins was big

If u ever see a film called Hot Rod - dont watch it its fuckin dull.
The hitcher is good.
I now pronounce you chuck and larry - I thought was hilarious but most people seem to think im gay for even liking it.

man that film kicks ass! WATCH IT

man that film kicks ass! WATCH IT

Watched Hard Candy last night. Holy shit, Ellen Page is going to be a massive star in the future. I already knew there was oscar talk for her role in Juno, but this is the first time I have seen her in a film that isn't X Men 3, which I had no reason to watch outside of being bored. She was 17 when she played this role and it would have been incredibly difficult.

Basically she plays a highly intelligent 14 year old girl who has been hanging around chat rooms recently as she has become aware of a paedophile in the area that has been hanging around them. She strikes up a conversation and makes plans to meet him at a near by cafe. They go back to his house, where she mixes a cocktail laced heavily with drugs, and when he wakes up, he is tied up, and she starts the psychological torture.

The paedophile is played by Patrick Wilson, who is an incredibly talented actor. He is actually a very charming, intelligent and complex character, who gets some good lines. Which makes the movie. It would have been boring if he was just a caricature to sling shit at. The interplay between the two is unique and interesting, and unfolds at a good pace as well.

It all basically takes place in one house after the first ten minutes, but that is all it needs. Psychological thrillers can go either way for me. Most of them are crap, but some can be as entertaining as this. Back to my original point though; Ellen Page is brilliant in this, and will become one of the seminal actors of her generation i believe.

crazy film hey!  really enjoyed that one!

Hmm, I think I want to see it!

i gots it on dvd lex, will lend it to ya!

Do it Lex! Quality viewing.

HARD candy is the one I wanted to see, not the piece of shit CANDY that I saw with Heath Ledger and G Rush.

Onto it....

Also want to check out the latest Cohen Brothers effort. Was just mentioning them recently asking if they had fallen into a black hole.

Apparently it is incredible. Cohen Brothers doing a Cormac Macarthy script couldn't conceivably be anything but brilliant though.

Sweet, thanks babe!

Both Hard Candy and the Heath Ledger Candy are good! 

had to make a touch choice last night... christmas vacation or terminator

ended up watching terminator, if i stayed up late i coulda seen die hard which imo is the best christmas movie ever

watched demolition man the other night as well, possibly the only sylvester stallone movie i can stomach watching more than once.

Did Frank Miller direct this?

YEAH 

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are both directed by Christopher Nolan, not Frank Miller.

No worries. I did read somewhere that he was doing something with batman at some stage.

frank miller isnt a director, he writes awesome graphic novels n screen plays... or so i thought??

yeah ledger is still a good joker, but i reckon if u did an analysis of nicholson vs ledger, ledger would totally be mimicking the awesome work nicholson did as joker its just something i resent him doing

bale cant do any wrong

i thought frank miller directed sin city. i know he did the graphic novels, but im pretty sure he was listed as the director on that one.

Yeah, I know. He did the original Dark Knight Returns series in the 80's. Awesome story.

Correctamundo.

Edit: Frank Miller AND Robert Rodriguez direct Sin City.

Fuck, I love that movie!! I might watch it tonight. Again. For the eleventy billionth time.

Darren Aronofsky (Director of Pi and Requiem For A Dream) was in talks to adapt one of Frank Miller's Batman stories into a film about 4-5 years ago, but it fell through.

I have been on a mad movie grab today. Have now got Bergman's Winter Light and Seventh Seal, Werner Herzog's Stroszek, Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, plus The Assasination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, all lined up to watch over the next 24 hours.

watched die hard last night... die hard 2 is on tonight, unforunately i cant see die hard with a vengeance anywhere on the tv guide! doh!

hitch hiker's guide and last boy scout last night

ice age and roger rabbit today

quality viewings

for all you stoners out there, keep an eye out for this on dvd

Smiley Face

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780608/

When a young actress named Jane (Anna Faris) accidentally consumes a batch of marijuana-laced treats belonging to her wacko roommate, hilarity ensues as Jane attempts to get around town. Stoned out of her mind, she must pay her gas bill, accompany a chum to the dentist and make it to an audition before the day is done in this comedy of errors from director Gregg Araki. The supporting cast includes Marion Ross and Danny Trejo.

alien vs predator 2: requiem...mmmmm stupid plot, awesome head explosions tho. i think that alien movies shouldnt EVER take place on earth, too much wack plot. but predator, ahh predator, u rock. so many loose ends in that film and moments that werent scripted well...oh well, i still enjoyed it mostly!!

just watched vanity fair, it was great! reese made a great becky sharpe. got jarhead, mirrormask and another film to watch before tues. mmm i like being lazy and on hols

shouts to bbc3 for rolling out a Season of Tarantino throughout Dec/Jan. I will never ever ever ever get sik of that man's films. Copped Kill Bill 1 last night, Pulp Fiction's about to start and then Sunday night Jackie Brown is on. Pretty sure they're cracking out KB2 at some stage soonish too.

I knew I paid my tv license fees for a reason

Went out and got some DVDs at the sales.

The Rutles - written by Eric Idle, it's a mocumentary about the Rutles (Beatles). Heaps funny.
Extraordinary Delux Edition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Hot Fuzz

NO IT'S LAME AS ALL FUCK!!!!

Superduper LAME 

WHaT???

It's Monty Python meets Saturday Night Live! It's awesome! How can it not be???

You're super dooper lame.

 right this moment I'm wathng Ghostbusters with the kids...reminds me of when weez and I were watching it recovery stylee when he was over last year... he he he he he 'is this a school play or something?'

watched the chumscrubber yesterday...really weird film and i wouldn't recommend it although it was kind of interesting, i think.

damn weird flick eh?!



OLD BOY - Korean movie from maybe 2004

Had it for ages and only just watched it. Didn't know what I was missing out on - freakin AWESOME!!

It's easily in my top ten of ALL TIME that's for sure!!

Check out Shoot Em Up for some non stop action.   Reminded me of Planet Terror in the way the over the top action just keeps coming.

Awesome film!

I am Legend - what a fucking shit movie. Really liked the look of the trailor so I downloaded it and what a waste of hard drive space.

Massive 28 days later rip off but a shitload less believeable. So many problems with this film I don't know where to start. Whatever you do don't waste money going to the cinema to see it.

Leezee, Fairy and I went and saw it at Palace ages ago, we all liked it thoroughly  ().  Its a bit Donnie Darko'ish but doesnt quite meet it's standard, wierd, but cool movie i thought. 

 Damn

 I liked 28 days/weeks later, was hoping it was gonna be just as good big budget style.

 I love Will Smith tho so might be a goer still.

Just download it - do not spend money going to see it.

It tries to be this serious, last man on earth trying to save shit kind of film. I won't say where it goes as u havent seen it but it is just pure rubbish.

watched last night

not too bad but don't expect a serious movie

good to watch just for the Monica Bellucci lactation fetish business
  

Yep I am Legend was fucking terrible.  Definitely a big budget rip off of 28 Days Later.

I've already decided I am Legend is the worst movie of the Summer. Even Saw 4 was better!

Noooooooooo. I really want to see I Am Legend.

The stupid fucking trailor actually made it look decent. Cunts!

Anyone seen AVP 2?

Just watched American Gangsta. Restored all the faith in movies that I Am Legend took away.

Seriously dope film.

I'm keen to check out I Am Legend despite the bad reviews on here - Will judge for myself on how good/bad it is

American Gangster was seriously good.   Perhaps better than The Departed even.  I wonder how accurate to the true story it is? 

Definitely. American Gangsta is up there with the best films I've seen.

As big a tool as Russel Crowe is, the man knows how to pick good movies.

Watched La Haine (Hate) with Betty and co last night. Cool film.

Also saw the first part of Grindhouse - Planet Terror. Fucking hilarious!

As crap a film as I'm sure it is, 28 Days Later actually borrowed quite liberally from the I Am Legend book, so of course it is going to have striking similarities with the movie.

muppets in space is on tele in about ten minutes

Just watched National Treasure - Book of Secrets. Sure, its American rubbish and all that, but for somebody raised on Indiana Jones and the like I absolutely loved it.

It's hardly a classic that will find its way to my DVD collection but it was still an entertaining 2 hours so I can't complain.

Just went to see AVP2 and yeah it was pretty meh.  Sadly it was nothing like the chilling space horror flic I wanted the series to return to (unrealistic I know).  It was passable and about on par if not slightly better than the first although the guys I was with really hated it.   

Again the trailer looks freaking awesome which comes from some momentarily great art direction in the movie - the inside of a hospital, power station and a gun shop in a country town look and sound eerily like a space stations.  The rest is cheesy puss.  They tried to add some boobies in to the mix which wasn't ever going to work - needed more boobies.

Mebbe I will wait for DVD for AVP2.

I watched I Am Legend here in Bangkok on a big fuckoff Imax system and I quite liked it...and as Pseudo says, if anything 28 Days Later ripped off IAL because the book is several decades old and has already been made in to a film starring Charlton 'pry my gun from my cold dead hands' Heston called The Omega Man in the 70's (I liked this version too).

American Gangsta looks sick though, just picked it up on DVD so I'll watch it soon...

i think i waa drunkenly rambling about this flick TEETH to khem and cru the other night:

"Teeth tells the story of High school student Dawn (Jess Weixler) works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group’s most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad’s (John Hensley) increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vaginawhen she becomes the object of violence.  As she struggles to comprehend heranatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power ofbeing a living example of the vagina dentata myth."

check the trailer link above, it actually seems alright for a horroresque flick. Good little piece of escapism no doubt

Charlie Wilson's War.

Absolutely fantastic movie.

Watched American Gangster last night, woah! Awesome movie!! Check it out at all costs! Highly recommened! 10/10!! 

Just watched Shoot Em Up. Didn't have hugely high hopes for it as none of the reviews I had read were particularly glowing, but I was absolutely gobsmacked by how fucking shite it was! Non-stop action can be done (Crank), but this movie... fuck me. It has one of the most atrocious scripts I have ever heard being delivered. It would have been improved 100 fold if the dialogue was removed entirely. A shame because I like Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Monica Belluci (in non-English speaking roles thanks). Also watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and actually enjoyed that waaaay more than i thought I would. Ving Rhames gets two thumbs up for his performance!

American Gangster was excellent. Based on the story of Harlem Harry-lord Frank Lucas. It seemed like there were some bits missing, but it was still a big big movie. Nobody could have played the part better than Denzel.

4.5/5 Recommended!

Just copped the new Empire mag. Can't wait to check out the following...

           No Country For Old Men (Coen Brothers FTW!!!)
           American Gangster
           Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Johnny Depp is crazy skilled)
           Be Kind Rewind (Michel Gondry = genius)
           Where the Wild Things Are (Spike Jonze = also genius)
           Indiana Jones IV (He's back!)

Also was suprised and had a chuckle at this bit of info in the mag...

I remember there was this was Italian horror/comedy flick on SBS a few times that sounds the same. They must have ripped it off or something. I've seen that one and it was classic!

Also, I've seen American Gangster now and I agree that it was top notch. Kind of Goodfellas-esque in a way but showing the criminal's life and his nemesis' life as he unravels the threads to close in on him.

you're thinking of killer condom

Fucking Incredible! Beautifully shot, perfectly scripted, perfectly acted, well paced, plenty of style and substance. What more can I say. I have always been a Coen Brothers fan, but this is probably their best work. There aren't many movies I put above O Brother Where Art Thou, Fargo or The Man Who Wasn't There either.

For shizzle. They have made a lot of my favourite films. The only one I haven't seen is Intolerable Cruelty. Even though it has Clooney in it, I can't bring myself to watch a movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones. The Big Lebowski rates as my fav comedy and Fargo has always been in my top 10. The brothers come correct. Fuck! Millers Crossing! Barton Fink! The list goes on!!! The Hudsucker Proxy! You know, for kids!

police academy 1 just started

kill bill vol 2 followed by jackie brown... or liar liar b2b mission impossible 1... not sure i can be bothered...

oooh what channel is jackie brown on? i missed it the other night!

bbc3 at 1140 mate

this looks like it could be fun...

be kind rewind : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799934/

A man (Jack Black) whose brain becomes magnetized unintentionally destroys every tape in his friend's video store. In order to satisfy the store's most loyal renter, an aging woman with signs of dementia, the two men set out to remake the lost films, which include Back to the Future, The Lion King, and Robocop.

apparently the a team movie is coming in 2008 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/

hmmm

Yeah, I wanna see that!

me liam & tristen went and saw that and thought it was fucking hilarious!!!

in parts it was for sure, i wanted to laugh more but it just wasn't happening.

top fucking films!

julian you need to catch the rest of grindhouse!!  absolute gold!

i didn't mind shoot em up... i thought the carrots were pretty funny!!

well i finally caught 'Die Hard 4 - Live Free or Die Hard' last night. Jesus suffering fuck thats some hot ridiculousness innit?? USA! USA! USA!

watched a couple of movies last night...

the reaping - hilary swank is a scientitst who has travelled around disproving so called miracles by providing scientific reasons for all of them. one day she gets a visit from someone who wants to get her to explain why their town's river run red. it all kinda plods along fairly slowly as one by one the ten plagues of the apocolypse rain down on this little backwater hick usa town. it was fairly predictabe, not really scary at all... but it did have the wrongest sex scene in it - hilary swank and this other guy are standing around a grave site talking about their dead ex-partners and children, then all of the sudden they are inside doing it... cos talking about dead family members is so hot? wtf indeed!

5/10

rescue dawn - christian bale plays a POW in a tale based on a true story. had a nice steady pace and was rather interesting considering it was based on a true story but if you do plan to watch it make sure you watch it somewhere really quiet - because the story revolves around these guys planning their escape from POW camp they spend the entire time whispering so it was really hard to hear what was being said most of the time.

7/10

I loved the F-35 action, those STOVLs get my juices flowing

new F-35B JSFs will be operational soon
http://www.janes.com/news/defence/jdw/jdw071224_1_n.shtml

Am going to watch No Country For Old Men at Marion tonight, 6.30 session!!! So excited, haven't read anything about the storyline so am ready to be suprised for once. Doesn't happen much these days!

No Country For Old Men is seriously good.  As for surprises, yeah I love them and I couldn't agree more as it rarely happens anymore - the last time I was surprised was with the original Matrix.  All I knew is a friend said I had to see  it and and I went along super wacked.  Needless to say I had no fucking idea what was going on in the first half and thought it was about a blind guy being able to see for the first time in his life.   While this was happening I was also thinking it was the best movie I had ever seen too. 

Probably not the biggest loss that you haven't seen Intolerable Cruelty. Although it is fairly entertaining, and Clooney and Billy Bob are very good in it, it is the worst of their movies I have seen . Although I have actively tried to avoid Ladykillers like the plague, so it is quite likely only their second worst.

mate gave me a copy of I am legend so gonna watch it tonite im hyped hopefully its good

Prepare for an epic disappointment then.

really?

bugger

The Rob Zombie remake of Dawn of the Dead was on tele last night.Fuck it scared me it was soooooooo hot! Fucking rad!

OMG I HAVE TO SEE THAT

LOL
i am fuckn legend

was like i am fuckn add at noddies on a sunday morning chargin bein forced to watch will smith tug off his dog and pick corn.
all i wanted to do was murder things at that point in time

u larf, i was pissed
lol
fresh prince of animal farm

bahahaha fresh prince of animal farm

classic!

Yeh I watched it last night, was def boring. A wanna be 28 days later vs I Robot. I am legend really tried to copy the dramatic feel of an empty NY city. pfff too much corny corn.  That was done already in 28 days later and was far more effective then

Those creature wanna be zombie things were so computer generated looking, they were crap!

Not enuff horror

Once again, I Am Legend could not have copied 28 Days Later. The IAL book was written in the 50's and 28 Days Later liberally borrowed from that book. This is not a defence of IAL, which is most certainly shite, just a clarification.

all i know is even uncle phil could not get him out of this shitpile

ooh yeah got the book to read, bring it! never saw omega man either, fuck i love 70's charlton heston films so i know it's gonna rock

gonna see the new coen film on saturday, cannot wait! yay for student movie club memberships

Thanks to being on holidays and the UK rolling out a hardcore storm in the last day or so have had the pleasure of watching 3 very different but equally awesome flicks:

Resident Evil 3 - Extinction...as we all know I am a fan of zombie flicks and especially the Resident Evil films and this was no exception - seriously ridiculous, really gross and a hot little twist towards the end. Mila is hotter and tougher than ever and seriously does she even ever age? I give this one ummm....7/10

Wristcutters - A Love Story...I had been wanting to see this quirky little arthouse flick ever since I first read about a few months back, and it was so worth the wait. After watching loads of zombie and uber violent flicks of late it was nice to just actually relax whilst watching a really sweet, original and unique film. A film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide. Watch this shit - I give it 10/10, it met and thoroughly exceeded my expectations.

and finally, we watched Jjakpae/City of Violence this morning. Fuck man  - this film is ruuuuuude! An amazing Korean film that is easily one of the best Asian films I have ever ever seen (and I've seen LOADS!). Visually stunning, with a fantasticly violent tale of revenge and real gangster shit. It also has an icnredible soundtrack and is a teeny bit reminiscent of Kill Bill. Another 10/10, if you love Asian cinema or tough films, or visually pleasing films you MUST see this!

Wristcutters - A Love Story...

Oh my perfect life!

Transformers 2 Shunted Back...looks like another victim of the writer's strike!

'Sorry children, (and I mean children) it looks like you might have to call upon your virtues of patience if you’re eagerly counting down the months until Michael Bay’s next bout of giant robotic blather.

It seems that ‘Transformers 2’ has been pushed back from the Dreamworks announced slot of June 26 2009 until sometime in 2010 on account of those naughty writers and their inconvenient strike.

Distressing news this for the legions of sub teen robo fans. We also must take into account the fact that many ‘Transformers’ fans may have left their childhood by the time part two appears, and thus perhaps have developed a taste in a more developed and adult form of filmmaking than the computer animated multi-hour eye candy piffle of the first film.

Bad news for Mr Bay? Who knows, though the lad recently offered a bit of hype saying “The new robots are really really unique and there are a lot of them this time.”

Ooohhhh! I can’t wait. I also can’t wait to see if Bay will somehow mess with the space time continuum again and offer up some devious way of making 144 minutes seem like seven or eight paint drying hours.

Just a couple of years to go kids. Stand by your cots!'

Michael Bay films need writers? Those cunts don't deserve 8 cents a DVD. They don't even deserve the current amount.

I am going to watch Inland Empire tonight. I have heard incredibly mixed reviews, but mostly good things from the people I trust. Plus David Lynch parked himself, with a live cow, on a street corner for a day to advertise his opinion that Laura Dern deserved an oscar nod for her role. Which is enough for me to witness it.

Has anyone seen Atonement?

I just watched a downloaded version and NEED to know... are there usually subtitles when there is French dialect or are they trying to be all creative and keep you guessing... or is my downloaded version a teeny bit dodgy 

dunno this helps

pans labrynth was selectable but default on from memory dunno if that helps

just picked up The Warriors - The Ultimate Directors Cut for £3 off play.com...woo cant wait to have that one in my hot little hands....

Went to see a preview of Juno on Wednesday night. Kinda good, but kinda meh. If you like Napolean Dynamite and stories about teenage pregnancy and adoption, this is the movie for you. It was a little date with Sal and we had a rushed dinner at Scoozi then went to the theatre across the road. A half hour into the movie I realised that I had left my records that I purchased before dinner underneath the dinner table, so I left the lady and ran back across the road to see if they were still there. Both stories ended happily ever after.

Checked out National Treasure - Book of Secrets and Mr. Woodcock lately...the former was right up my alley like Noddy said further down, being an Indiana Jones adventure movie buff over the years, it was great. I loved the first one so it was a no brainer to check this out. Not quite as good as the first but really gripping and enjoyable nonetheless. One of the major plotlines in this film was a little out there though (hint, The incident) but these films are meant to be over the top I guess. 3.5 out 5 for mine.

I also saw Mr. Woodcock and while it was blatantly predictable it had some piss funny moments, most of the best coming via My Name Is Earl's Ethan Suplee. Pretty much every moment he was in the film was gold, I recommend it, it's by the numbers but I was laughing all the way through. I can't stand Amy Poehler though but that's a minor flaw... 3 out of 5 beans for Mr. Dubya...

What's wrong with Amy Poehler? Whilst she is far from matching some of the classic SNL names, she is one of the more talented to come from that stable recently.

last night we watched a couple of flicks:

Eastern Promises - I was really looking forward to this flick as there has been a lot of press about it over here. While I really enjoyed it, it wasn't really what I was expecting. The media here had built it up as a thoroughly violent, almost gorey film, and I didn't really think it was that bad. When there is violence, it is pretty confronting, but definitely always within context. I think Viggo Mortensen plays a brilliant Russian gangster in this film, and the highlight is definitely Armin Mueller-Stahl as the super mega evil guy Semyon. Fucking good film, 8/10

also...

30 Days of Night - I know a lot of peeps here on AM weren't big fans of this flick but actually, I thought it was ok. I was actually really fucking scared through a lot of the film, and it was good to see vampires as really fucking evil creatures for once. I think the casting could have been loads better though, the whole Melissa George thing was a pretty gash decision as far as I am concerned. I understand this is from some kind of comic/graphic novel? Wouldn't mind checking it out really to see just how much the movie has ruined it I give this one 6/10

Been watching Hot Fuzz with the commentary... fuck they're funny little film school nerds!

No wonder I love their movies so much

I LOVE those guys!!

I might just watch Hot Fuzz again today!

I saw No Country for Old Men last nite, and all I can say is WOW!!! Coen Bros are back in form, its a brutal yet amazing film with loads of neo-western atmosphere (tough, gritty, understated characters) with the amazing texan landscape as a backdrop. Josh Brolin is AWESOME in it (he makes cowboy look good!) and so is Javier Bardem (fuck he is a cool actor!!). Tommy Lee Jones is awesome in it too. Man I loved it. Go see it!

I can't wait for There Will Be Blood, and Charlie Wilson's War.

I knew you would love it Anna. Such an amzing feel to the film. The understated, yet intelligent dialogue is pure Coen brothers, even though alot of the source materail remains unchanged.

yeah i cant wait to read the book!

fuck i was sketchy walking home last nite tho, kept thinking some tall monkee-hairdo cuban was gonna gun me down in the street! fucking brilliant film. coen bros are back, yo!

Haha, I'm never going to trust someone with an oxygen/gas tank again. Javier Bardem does such a brilliant job of the character as well. Shame 'Love In The Time Of Cholera' is supposedly crap; Although I've always believed it to be unfilmable anyways. Thankyou for reminding me of Josh Brolin's name by the way; He does a brilliant job as well.

Love in the Time of Cholera eh, need to checkit (the book is good, btw?) Javier Bardem has never made a serial killer psychopath look so awesome! I can't believe the gory violence in the film tho, its fantastic! Llewellyn's wife is played by the actress who was Ewan Mcgregor's pickup/girl in Trainspotting..Go figure!

According to Empire, Josh Brolin is kicking ass in all his recent roles. Very cool. I liked it when they compared him to Tom Skerritt who played Dallas in Alien...
and image not archived: 1.jpg

oh yeah found an awesome pic. may i introduce to you all here at AM, the most awesome psychopathic killer this side of the Year 2000!!!

The book is brilliant, in its way. It is very much style over substance. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the creator of a style commonly referred to as magic realism; Which he does better than any other. He has a depth and richness of language that is almost unparalleled, and can turn the most simple moments into insightful and rewarding experiences. That said, if you take away his unique abilities some of his story lines (especially LITTOC) read like soaps. I am of the opinion that magic realism is an unfilmable style, because eventually one must be compromised for the other. The moments of magic/fantasy in Marquez novels are placed so naturally that they just become part of the feel of the story and time. Which is almost impossible to recreate; Most people just aren't going to be able to marry the two.

Great shots of Brolin and Bardem by the way. Roger Ebert had a few interesting things to say about the almost unfathomably cold character of Anton Chigurh.

I have 2 problems with this one, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts...otherwise I would be keen as mustard, I'm sure good ole Chris can tell you how I feel about JR

I know where you are coming from, but she couldn't stop Closer from being a great film. There is hope for the movie yet.

Saw American Gangster today. Good flick. Smattering of violence. Good acting.

3.75.

The efficient critic.

Couldn't sleep last night so watch 'Stargate' in bed. Man I am sure after that movie Kurt Russell got a job as a lawn bowls field.

just got back from seeing I am Legend,
I dunno what everyone else was on about, I thought it was wicked!

Yeah i love to hate those guys too!! but it really does look awesome, tom hanks is hilarious (and reminds me of a younger william shatner) in it..

Ooh american gangster, cant wait to see it

REally? We watched it last night, it started off well, but it was all over for me once the dog died 

apparently its all good until u see the cgi monsters

Possibly the worst movie ive seen this year Nah sseriously i didn't like it apart from the effects and computer generated monsters. Poor story that went nowhere imo 3/10

Saw American Gangster yesterday and thought it was great. Man Frank Lucas was one hardcore cunt. Russel Crowe was ok but Denzel owned it. Probably one of my favourite actors of all time he played the part so well and i would be surprised if this film doesn't pick up a few awards this year. 8/10

she's a right fucking mole she is. a real scrubber whore.

i used to love Julia Roberts but my opinion has changed over the years.. She could still suck a basketball through a garden hose with that mouth though i reckon.

i hate her so much.

yeah poor doggy!
maybe coz i went into it with really low expectations or coz we saw it on the big screen?
or maybe just coz i love zombie movies?
It wasn't the best but certainly not the worst ever!!
i liked the ending

my gift to you chris: it's been a while since I sent you any JRSLUT pics so just whipped one up for ya:

image not archived: f_juliarobertm_21c6a04.jpg

i'm going to print that off here at work and cherish it until i see you my love.

you seriously fucking rule.

julia, go die in a filthy, hooker, slut fire.

 Hell yes 

*curtsies* anytime mate, anytime

Has anyone seen: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D or perhaps its sequel: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3?

Are you drunk Khem? 

on 'B' horror flix it seems

no do you think i could type all of that if i was drunk?

they are real movies, check imdb or wiki!

Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3

sounds like it could only have a cast of limp ex portnstars and director called max bling

 

I saw I Am Legend last night and it was fucking great 

i have heard so many mixed reports about that one!

You obviously dont put much thought into films then.

Come on, surely even the most cerebral of cinephiles can enjoy a mindless popcorn flick every now and then!

I love brainless films as much as the next person but I am Legend had so many blatant flaws and problems it completely ruined any chance of it being an enjoyable movie.

See, I don't agree with that comment, nor your opinion of the film. I like movies from all different genres and countries.

I was skeptical due to the bad reviews I had heard... but I really enjoyed it.


Please elaborate on the blatant flaws and problems...

I'm keen to see it despite all the bad reviews on here 

And just because a few people say its shit, crap, worst movie ever blah blah blah etc etc, doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same!

It all comes down to "each to their own" 

For starters (and this fucked the entire moving including the ending), the zombies/vampires are nothing more than humans who had been infected by this disease. Now, they could be killed by guns, explosions and being hit by a car amongst other things. Yet at the end they were able to climb buildings, smash their way through walls and most amazingly of all, run head first into unbreakable glass repeatedly until it shattered and not even get a scratch. Now, if this was some crappy horror film you my accept that, but this was designed as a serious movie. On top of that the fact they were CGI rather than real people in make-up simply made them completely unbelievable as characters. They were humans who caught a disease but looked completely unhumanlike. Considering they were a major part of the film it was pretty fucked.

Secondly, the ending showed these "humans" as crazy rage filled, blood lusting monsters who cared about nothing but getting fresh human meat to feed on. Nothing could be done to reason with them. Now, thats all well and good, except that for creatures controlled entirely by this rage they still managed to have one as a type of leader. And if they couldn't control this lust for blood, why then did they just let the dogs try and attack Will Smith & his dog? Wouldn't every zombie there have been equally desperate to chase him down - not let their dogs loose?

Other things that really annoyed me were things like the Lion (crappy CGI and totally fake looking), things like the deer at the start (why werent these animals infected) & the fact that for a city of however many million people who had died from the disease there wasn't a single skeleton to be seen anywhere. The list could go on and on.

The only positives in the film were Will Smith who was really good, some of the deserted city scapes (altho I found the London scenes in 28 days better), the scene with WS & the dog sleeping in the bath (one of the few times the director actually gave some kind of feeling into the loneliness & despair faced by WS), and lastly the scene with the dogs waiting for the last sliver of light to disappear. Apart from this the movie was total tripe.

Last night we watched Beowulf with the kids. Fuck man, that is some good shit! It's based on an old Nordic legend and seriously is one of the best stories ever! Elliot got a bit scared and stressed out cuz their is some proper violence in it, but cg animation in it is INCREDIBLE. The only regret I have about this film is that we didn't make the effort to go see it in 3d (though I think in 3d it would have been a bit too mental for the kids). I give this one 9/10 YEH

After the kids went to bed we checked American Gangster. FUCK YES. I don't usually dig on Denzel or RC but I think they were perfectly cast. It was kinda a cross between 2 of my bestest flicks ever - Serpico and Scarface (and I use the kinda lightly). I think a lot of you have seen it anyways so I don't need to go into specifics. I will say, though that it was a teeny bit too long for my attention span. I give this one 7/10 points lost for the length.

Just watched 'No Country for Old Men".
Bloody good movie, very powerful. Some bits chilled me to the bone, crazy, crazy, crazy and gory.
The ending was a tad annoying though.

Hmmm, I reckon I would give it 4.5/5


My next movie to watch is I am Legend. Despite some of the cruddy reviews I am going to give it a shot.

same, just saw no country for old men.

Insane.. just do yourself a favour & go watch it.
Amongst all the cgi fuckfests that flood us, it's not often that i walk out the cinema truly floored from every aspect. Absolutely crazy film with amazing performances & direction that makes you take a step back & think about it all.

Has some dry humour, really funny shit.. thrilling story, manhunt & you can't predict it at all.

I can't stop talking about it, fucking 11/10. It makes a mockery of 90% of shit released these days.

SEE IT. 

did i mention intense? i have to have Intense written here somewhere.

told ya no country was awesome!!! javier bardem and josh brolin = teh awesome!!!!

About to watch No Country for Old Men. Hope it's as good as everyone says.

My new dvd of The Warriors - Ultimate Directors' Cut arrived on Friday and we watched it last night. Fuck that film rocks. I heart it the most The features with it are shit but it actually has 7 extra scenes in it and it's all remastered so the sound is killer. If there is anyone out there that hasn't seen this film I demand an explanation!

Definitely one of the all time greats.

Has anyone seen the final directors cut of Blade Runner yet? Want to know if it's worth the effort.

ive got the final directors cut of blade runner here in front of me. havent gotten around to watching it yet tho.

Let us know if there is much different or extra from the first one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(versions)#The_Final_Cut_.282007.29

lists the differences in the latest directors cut

got my mitts on the the workprint version and the final cut... not sure which to sink my teeth into first though. i've not watched bladerunner since my old vcr chewed up my director's cut years ago.

the warriors director's cut is wicked... definitely worth a look if (like me) you've not seen the original in a long time!

Watched Million Dollar Baby last night on telly, I thought it was pretty good! It was sad though.

 
 
 Saddest movie ever.

Watched Vacancy yesterday.. POOOOOOH! I know why it went straight to dvd. A few less than ordinary thrilling scenes of stab em up violence and that was about it weak as piss. Story was there they just didn't do anything with it. ah well.

I finally got around to seeing Super Size me last night and Fast Food Nation. Super Size Me was funny, very well put together entertainment. Fast food Nation made me want to become a vegetarian. The mass slaughtering of animals is just not cool man 

I really am only partial to chicken, do the mass slaughter chickens too?

 

the chicken side of food is pretty graphic. they are pumped with steroids and their little legs don't cope with the growth, they can barely stand up. i saw a vid on it a while back and it was shocking.

edit - youtube vid about egg farming

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HItPOVfDq1Y

Hmmm yeah thats pretty bad too. I wonder if it's as bad in Australia, and how much better 'free range' chicken is!!

um, the term free range means that the chickens can walk around, arent full of steroids etc. australia has had a decent -enough set of regulations to prevent us as becoming as bad as america in terms of slaughterhouses and farming practices...but its not all rosy here!

u do need to be careful, comparing films made about the usa,with australia. there are elements that are similar tho...

best way to find out is to check out PETA or any other animal rights groups, based in oz

i think lilydale chicken is definitely free range and mostly, organic. same with vegas, a chicken stall at the markets

http://www.rspca.org.au/campaign/choosewisely.asp

Yeah i know you can't compare what happens in Australia to the USA, there is a huge difference. But becoming a vegetarian would be more about taking a look at what happens globally and saying it's not ok. If i went to America i wouldnt be eating their Beef thats for sure.

yeah thats true, but thats not what you said i was just answering ur question about freerange in oz

i'd like to think that the best way of protesting animal mistreatment (was well as human, ie macdonalds and other fast food chains taking advantage of unionless teenagers etc) would be a) to ensure that the meat and products u consume as well as wear (leather etc) was from a sustainable, ethical source (ie freerange) or b) abstain from meat and meat products altogether (vegan)

I'd be looking at groups other than PETA, those crazy fucks are worse than scientologists!




Million dollar baby is so depressing! I couldn't believe it, the first time I watched it I thought it would be a shitty feel good movie about overcoming adversity, how wrong was I! 

I agree with that point - the zombie monsters looked real real fake ass

I enjoy a movie when it is believeable. 28 days later is a great example. The fear factor for me kicks in when I can relate it to my real world. I couldn't do this with I am legend therefore it wasn't scary for me at all and just looked kinda fake. Personally, I cant stand when a movie is fake and does special effects beyond belief.

Its like the new star wars movies... some of the sets look so fake and animated that I cringe. The older movies with puppetry etc has so much more of an impact. I reckon its a bit the same for the alien & predator movies also. The older movies are so much better and visually enjoyable to watch. Not just a bunch of actors running around with a blue screen behind them and it is all added in later

wat is it about thou?
