What Movie Did you Just Watch?

[emsley]

The King's Speech.

 

The first war-time speech Colin Firth makes as King, which is what the entirety of the film culminates toward, is thrilling to watch. I listened to the original recording of the real Bertie and Colin did a good job getting the subtle details of his voice.

 

8.5/10

 

A movie I want to check out, did you know the kings speech is set at elland Road where my love of a team Leeds United play?

Finally checked out Tron. Decent movie, despite certain points.

 

 

 

All I have to say is if I was on the grid instead of him, things would have gone way differently.

Scream 4

 

Its ok but easy to guess the ending.

[L.S.D]

Sucker Punch.

 

Weird in a good way. Can't wait for director cut version.

[veristic]

^Abbie Cornish all the way.

 

Justified, Camelot, The Borgias, Game of Thrones.

 

Batman The Brave and the Bold Lol.

2001: A space Odyssey: Not my personal choice for "best" film ever. Although it was extremely good and offered a dated source of "chosen" emotion, it did feel lackluster in the "entertaining" aspect of film. As art it's certainly one of the best crunched forms of imagery I've ever seen, but as film it's beyond attentive, some of the things is does feels experimental and unsuccessful. I had to take off my headset multiple times as well to deal with the high pitches (which the director would consider successful as conveying disturbance, I consider it a nuisance). The story itself is captivating, and I'm glad it did the things that it did, I did enjoy it but only its cognitive aspects. The emotion I felt consistently felt disconnecting since I spent so much damn time analyzing the film. It's certainly ahead of its time and enjoyable but not entertaining. It's like hearing a niche fact from a friend and smiling at it but not really caring about it.

 

2010: The Year we Make Contact: Shit sucked.

 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Holy shit did this not disappoint. How I ever missed this film (being a Jim fan) is beyond me. While his acting was awesome as hell the true geniuses of this film has got to be the editors. Like putting their

first contact (the "twist" ending) right at the beginning so that the film had better character development with Tang

, things like that made the film. Not to mention the way it was told, this is Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World before Scott Pilgrim was even written. I wouldn't even be surprised of this was the original inspiration for the story telling techniques Edgar used. Certainly my favorite Jim film, recommend highly.

 

I Love You Phillip Morris: I couldn't watch Brokeback Mountain. Something about the love story of 2 gay dudes just moves me the wrong way. I respect the life style (hell I love the opposite of 2 gay dudes, 2 lesbian chicks? Make a movie about THAT). But I wouldn't be interested in the details, even if it meant a good film. This was a nice way to "ease" my mind into that idea, and certainly a different acting position that Jim is used to a long with the supporting cast. The films enjoyable, but to be honest it just felt like Jim was playing Jim Carry, in a gay way :/.

 

I Spit On Your Grave (2010 remake): Better than the original. The original wasn't as exploitative as people would have you believe (there are certainly more gory films out there). The only scene I felt disgusted in the original was the rape scene, and that's more because of the act than the camera work (For most emotional rape scene, the remake of Last House On the Left takes the cake). Everything else about the film felt just like a standard horror flick slowed down 10 times. The Killer chases and kills while everybody else dies. The remake fixed that pacing issue the original had, genuinely had me disgusted at each kill, and had a little more character development than before (not to mention the story elements of the Sheriff). If you enjoy exploit films do not miss this one.

 

Lost In Translation: Wanna learn how to act? Watch Bill Murray act in this film. Learn how to do what he did here, and you'll be legit. Besides making me feel like I was watching a real person, this film had pretty standard fair when it came to story/dialogue. While it caters to young adults, it feels more like it centralized itself on the whole "middle age crisis" thing however, which is fine. Have to re-watch sometime later in life.

 

I had no internet for 2 days, this is what I did :>.

The Hunger Games - It was pretty awesome. Jennifer Lawrence, the lead actress, is my hero. If I were in her position I'd have done the same thing. I'm an adrenaline junkie and survival is the biggest rush. The military has had an awesome influence on me lol.

 

 

21 Jump Street - I laughed my ass off the entire time. Those rookie cops do some funny shit and act just like you think real cops do when no ones watching. Loved this movie!

Saw The Green Latern.... thought it was utter crap!! Too much CGI and it seemed overall, very fake/cartoonish. Ryan Reynolds was the wrong guy for the role as well. It would have been awesome if they brought Tim Burton to direct it. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Green Lantern reboot a few years from now like they did with HULK.

[emsley]

Millers crossing - awesome movie.

Not just saying "awesome" as filler - it really was a modern classic.

[Agozer]

Sunshine. I found it great, and I'm recommending it.

[emsley]

i recommend this movie for those of you who like interesting concepts:

Ever had a friend who was "dark and down" and you were always trying to be upbeat...?

The Avengers - It was ok, not the best not the worst. Loooong!

[ken_cinder]

The Avengers - It was ok, not the best not the worst. Loooong!

 

Opposite opinion here...Avengers was awesome and easily THE best Comic adapation movie ever.

As for the Hunger Games? It sucked, the acting was very bland and it was an obvious take on Battle Royale, even though the author claims to have known nothing about it(ie; She's full of shit). I walked out of the theatre wanting my money back after seeing it.

The hunger games looks like hollywood drivel to me?

 

The new avengers movie, well if you like super hero stuff apparently you ejaculate.

I total agree Ken. I said what the fuck when Hunger Games was over. I definitely felt like I had been fucked over by paying for it. Have not seen Avengers yet but plan to.
