[QUOTE=KlaseR;34594957]it's surprising that you actually show that film to a little girl.[/QUOTE]
if my shittty memory isn't failling again his sister grabbed the film from his movie collection and watched it.
or some shit like that.
I grabbed Natural Born Killers when I was about 8 or 9, can't say I understood very much what went on, neither did I get why it was an 18.

If you're talking about the effects of the 1982 The Thing, you're so wrong. Animatronics beat CGI any day. To be honest, the lack of constant CGI in The Thing made it even better, added to the immersion.
Unlike the new version, which has ultra obvious CGI monsters.[/QUOTE]
can you actually read my post? i said the effects were brilliant, but there are simply some parts where it's just shit, alright?
event horizon 8/10
dead space the movie, to a fucking T
i absolutely love this lovecraftian horror space horror genre. so far the only things that seem to have it are event horizon and dead space 1-2
Star Wars: EP 1 - 5/10
Now that you guys said why it's bad, I can see your point. All the parts with Jar Jar Binks and Anakin feel like a kids movie, while you definitely wouldn't want some other parts in a movie for children. Maybe they tried to make a "movie for the whole family", but their approach was too abrupt. CGI overuse is another problem, I just can't shake that feeling of "why is jar jar such a horrible piece of computer generated crap instead of someone in a suit?", though I'll have to admit it, they did rather well with the new Yoda.
However, the movie does well, even if at VERY few times, when it manages to keep the feel of the original trilogy. I'd say that the first scenes, right before they land on Naboo, give a pretty good impression. The atmosphere was also good.

also, darth maul and liam neeson
The Thing's effects seem to go through a gradual decline in quality as the film goes on. The Dog thing was the best looking one, and the final amalgamation monster was the worst.

Not to say any of them looked [i]bad[/i]. Just worse.
I watched Chronicle yesterday. The effects were decent and the acting was pretty good. Overall, I loved the movie.
8/10.

Just randomly watched the movie Stealth (2005) on TV, I regret it. 2/10 it was horrible, most predictable shit ever.

[I]The Sky Crawlers[/I] (2008)
For what might pass as a review, though it's a bit all over the place since I just wrote this right now. Finished watching the movie about half an hour ago.
Took me long enough to watch this, since I bought it a few weeks ago.
Definitely an interesting movie. Read the pack of the box, News of the World reviewer said "Haunting, subtle, and hypnotically beautiful...". All three actually. Little music throughout, not a lot of excitement either. Lots of long drawn out stares and pauses and very few characters with multiple facial expressions. Some points where the long pauses didn't serve it too well, as I felt the other characters in the frame, or even the character of interest, stays perfectly still for too long without many idle movements. Made it feel kind of bland sometimes.
I don't usually deal so well with subtlety in these sorts of things, and miss a lot of those details. So after seeing 'subtle' on the back, I went in knowing to pay close attention. Which might be why I found so much of it empty, and caught onto the absence of idle animations. Maybe it really wasn't empty though, and it was just too deep for me to get. As I said, I'm not so good with reading into subtlety.
Very very quiet movie. Even the air battle scenes seemed oddly quiet. Perhaps to draw attention away from the combat scenes, since the war clearly wasn't the focus of the movie.
[sp]I also managed to figure out the twist from the start, when he was being guided around and said a lot about recognising things. Not sure if the hints were meant to be subtle, obvious, or if I was just thinking a lot into everything in this movie. But it did do a lot to make me doubt the idea. The idea being that the previous pilot for his plane was himself, and he'd forgotten everything for whatever reason. I didn't suspect anything sci-fi was involved in it though, so once they started talking about how the previous pilot was shot, I brushed off the idea. Since I often make pretty outlandish predictions, but rarely are they ever right.
The reincarnation of OCD guy solidified everything though. And before he'd returned, it had dropped plenty more hints. It seemed totally ridiculous throughout that Yuichi really was just a new guy, what with how Suito acted towards him; as if he was an old love of hers. But it still cast doubt over all of that for me. Yuichi seemed to take the news that he was the former pilot pretty passively, and the fact that he was was delivered without much of a mind-fuck moment. Which I guess implies that we were meant to have got that figured out. The other girl who I forget the name of spoke of the fact that everybody accepted Yuichi when he arrived and kind of ignored the fact that he was the other guy. Despite pretty much knowing it, they were in denial about it. Yuichi and the audience seemed to feel the same sort of thing with the return of OCD guy. Nothing much was said about it, and we were just made to accept it. New guy arrives who looks just like the old guy who died. What's the big deal?
Plot all seemed very well orchestrated if it was set up the way I imagine. That being that it's pretty much trying to make you feel what the characters feel. That being doubt that Yuichi really is the old guy, despite really knowing it. Oh anime you do like to leave lots of things empty for perfectly legit reasons don't you.[/sp]
Very nice visually though. I worried at the start that it was just going to be loaded with conspicuous CG. Happily enough though, all the backgrounds were all about as realistic looking as the planes, clouds, water, and landscapes they flew over in the opening sequence. With the characters being usual cels. Very nice looking cells for that matter. All very nicely animated when they're actually doing anything. In retrospect, maybe even the lack of movement in some characters was meant to say something. Who really knows with artsy movies like this.
The movie's definitely given me a lot to think about. Don't think I've ever taken this much out of a movie before. I should pay attention more often.
Will probably watch it a second time to see what more I can uncover or assume about characters based on what I've learned the first time around. To look on it again now that I'm wise to what is actually going on.
Giving it a 9/10.
I think everything was done very well. I really haven't ever seen so much in a movie from just one viewing. I'd like a lot if I was able to see this much in every movie I watch, and I think I'll resolve to pay more attention to movies from now on. Missed the 10/10 mark for not making me feel all that much. It felt all atmospheric, as if the energy and emotion had been drained from a lot of the characters for a reason. And with that justification, I can overlook those things.

i thought that it was just a good film, like a 7/10 one.
maybe i should give it a try.

Take Shelter: 10/10
I honestly can't think of a description for this movie. Best way I can put it: watch it if you like movies with lots of different interpretations
[QUOTE=Caragolpe;34612975]7 agrees.

Yeah the critics at the time didn't get it either, but over time and repeat watches it makes perfect sense for it to be great.

I loved the other Bourne movies, but I honestly don't know if I should expect much from that
No Matt Damon.
Confirmed for shit, pointless cash in.
Jeremy Runner seems like a pretty good actor, I'm intrigued.
I hate jeremy renners face
same
and I generally have a good tolerance for ugly actors and actresses as long as they can act
i don't like renners either.
there's something about him.. eeh
its his face and acting and ENORMOUS fingernails
lets hope for the best, though
