El Topo 9/10
surreal and violent masterpiece.
Levit gordon is the best actor of 2010/2011/2013 don't you dare bad mouth this man
Just saw Django Unchained.
My biggest disappointment was that the place I watched it at decided to shove it into the 2nd theater which has a VERY small screen, while some mediocre movies were playing on the bigger screen.
Movie itself was 10/10, loved it.

Quite possibly my favourite film, with The Holy Mountain and Santa Sangre not far behind.

Is it as batshit as the Holy Mountain? I just wish I had weed on me when I saw it.
les mis 9/10
having done the play itself, some of the songs felt a bit off or rushed because the lyrics were changed (and some actors weren't that great singers :V). oh and some scenes made me cringe a bit [sp]especially eponine's suicide, that was p. stupid to be honest[/sp]
anyway it was pretty cool overall, quite touching too. the song at the end just after [sp]valjean's death[/sp] slowly creeping in was amazing it gave me goosebumps, and the setting shown afterwards was just awesome. cried a bit there, haha [sp]well really, i bawled hard but no crying sound i guess, just tears. whatever that means. i dunno maybe it's because of some connection, being part of the play, and watching it with the others from the play too. or you should just go ahead and rate me gaybow or something[/sp]

It's got more structure but is every bit as surreal and symbolic as that movie, except it's also an ultra violent western. Great soundtrack too.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;39342405]Order of the Phoenix was almost my favorite one of the bunch. It's up there with the third one.
I like all of them, but I think Goblet of Fire was my least favorite.[/QUOTE]
Order of the Phoenix was my favorite book and least favorite film. The first film is almost exactly the same as the book, but it's also more corny and kid focused. Out of all the films I'd say my favorites were the Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2. Half-Blood Prince had some good moments, but the movie especially got too caught up in the teenage romance. 4 and 5 cut so much out of the novels that I hate watching either of them.
[b]Killing Them Softly
6/10[/b]
I read about this movie and the story sounded pretty good. But for some reason this movie was not that great. It could have been better because it had some serious potential. It had some good points though, the acting was terrific. I really liked Frankie, he was acted so well. The camerawork was pretty neat, especially during the gruesome scences. It felt dark and gritty. All the places fit the theme pretty well. The characters were also pretty amazing, tons of different guys.
My main gripe was that the story was poorly told, I mixed up the characters and the pacing was to slow. The dialogues between Mickey and Jacky dragged on and were not that relevant. The plot began pretty interesting but I kind of lost focus on what was happening and why.
Also the movie seems to have an underlying message about capitalism and business, although I failed to see any of it. Anyway when the credits rolled I was more confused than amazed.
Although that might just be me.
saw The Impossible in a good theatre. Best seats (middle/middle)... that sound was captivating.
Honestly it was like total immersion. If it wasn't for dumb cinema goers going "awwwww" every second of the day, it felt as though I was really in touch of that environment.
While it's still in theatres, go for it. Gutwrenching experience, and a reality uncomparable to pretty much all other disaster films. Honestly can't think of a single disaster film I can compare this to, this is all I can think about. What's more, the performances were shattering and human... all the more meaning added to the already brilliant picture.

Reservoir Dogs - 10/10
woah i did not remember the end being this sad :(

The showdown at the end is a masterpiece, the best part is when the snitch tells Mr. White the truth.
[quote]Eric Kohn of IndieWire gave the film a "B-" grade, and stated that the film "suffers from the greater problem of emphasizing a feel-good plot within the context of mass destruction."[/quote]
that's why the film is called THE IMPOSSIBLE, ARHGHGHG film critics need to give up in life.

Don't worry, I was the exact same way. As I was driving home after with some friends I was thinking about it, and I think what they were trying to go for was something like every character represented a portion of american society. That's what I got from it anyway.
I watched the Black Swan for the first time a yesterday :).. It's the greatest movie ever made xD
[B]The Cable Guy[/B] 8/10
A really underrated Jim Carrey movie. His performance is excellent, and in my opinion he plays one of the funniest and twisted characters ever. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a film with an original concept and overall a very entertaining comedy. Check it out.
[B]God Bless America[/B] 10 Clichés/10
Holy shit this movie was terrible. I don't know how my friend talked me into watching it with him but apart from a few mildly amusing murder scenes that got old quickly this movie has nothing going for it.

Stealth (2005) 1/10
Worst high-budget movie I've seen whole year.
I think it literally made me dumber

People shouldn't listen to film critics in general. Modern critics are bought or are extreme high-horse'rs anyway.
If anyone wants to know a movie's quality, they should see it and make up their own minds about it, not shape their opinion off the opinion of another's, such as "professional" critics. Take in context, for example, IGN and their game reviews. They've rated plenty of horrid games as great, and great games as horrid. The same factor goes on with the film industry and critics. IMO the best opinion you can get on a movie is your own opinion, and only your own, be it from actually seeing it or watching a trailer. People are too reliant on what others have to say about entertainment that they never form their own opinions and simply follow the opinion of what the guy on Metacritic said.
Take my recent experience watching Underworld for example. Plenty of critics said it was a horrible film, but from actually watching it, my personal opinion of the movie disagrees with that notion. I can see why someone wouldn't like it, but I don't let their opinion control my perceptions.
To be honest, movie reviews in general are pointless, in truth most of it often comes down to personal tastes and preference. Of course, there are some movies which are generally just bad and everyone knows it (Jack and Jill, Bourne Legacy) and there will be films which will have clashing opinions on it's quality based on individual perceptions.
That's why we have threads like, "Movies you liked that everyone hated" and "Movies you hated that everyone loved". Reviews do not determine quality, they determine a critic's personal opinion, which sadly many take for a measure of quality. Well, I think I dragged that on a bit too much. Tl;dr Don't fucking listen to reviews, go out and forge your own opinion for yourself.
thx

expressing opinions help people understand where others are coming from.
Keeping yourself to yourself without any regard for anyone else is kinda weird.
If I get good vibes from what a person experiences for themselves, I'll seek that feeling too.
[QUOTE=certified;39360281]Tl;dr Don't fucking listen to reviews, go out and forge your own opinion for yourself.[/QUOTE]
This advice sucks, it really does. Not everybody wants to go into every movie with no idea of what to expect. Nobody has the time or money to do this.
People find reviews valuable even if they don't agree with the critic. When you read a particular critic's reviews, after a while you get a clear idea of what you do and don't agree on. With this knowledge, when said critic says what they do and don't like a movie, you get a good idea of whether you will like this movie or not.
Remember that reviews are opinion, yes. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it should either be trusted completely or dismissed entirely.

Alternatively, find a reviewer or a group of reviewers that you seem to share similar taste with because chances are good that their opinions will be a reasonably accurate insight to whether or not you'll enjoy the film/book/game/etc. Works out well for me.
watching Thief of Bagdad in 1080p
never expected a 1940 film to look so damn good, seen it a dozen times as a kid on cassette. Magnificent fantasy/adventure flick. Nothing compares to it.

jeez they've made a film from the 40s look like a film from the 70s..
