I really need to give A Serious Man another shot I only saw it once and left it very confused and let down, wasn't really quite sure what they were trying to say or do with that one

Whiplash - 9/10 Was intense and held my attention the whole time. Also is Miles Teller really drumming, or was that movie magic? I hope Fantastic 4 hasn't killed his career.

[QUOTE=Pops;49614883]i don't think anyone here thinks event horizon is a bad movie. hell, even rusty enjoys it.[/QUOTE] maybe not here, but wasn't it panned critically?

[QUOTE=matt000024;49618498]maybe not here, but wasn't it panned critically?[/QUOTE] Most critics thought it was very "meh"

There are plenty of movies that weren't well received by critics but audiences really like. It's due to the nature of most critics being, well, critical.

[QUOTE=matt000024;49618498]maybe not here, but wasn't it panned critically?[/QUOTE] yeah, it's a paul ws anderson movie (guy behind the resident evil movies and mortal kombat). he doesn't direct very good movies, just fun, goofy brainless shit which are hit/miss depending on the film.

Rewatched the last 30 minutes or so of No Country For Old Men and my perception of the ending completely changed. My dad was cleaning the kitchen and the sound on the TV was botched, so I couldn't tell exactly what was going on first time around. Makes for a completely different movie. 8/10, i was totally wrong

[QUOTE=cheetahben;49609601]Fucking Amal - 8/10 Ahhhhhh, this was just excellent. Disguised as an LGBT teen film, really an exploration of teen angst and how it's irrational and juvenile, but also how it felt real and important when you were also a teenager. As someone who's gay himself, this is the kind of LGBT film I'm looking for - one that treats its characters as people, not just a personified sexuality [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] the more that I'm thinking about this the more I'm sure it's a 9/10. This was REALLY good, folks[/QUOTE] damn son how did you even hear about this movie I only happened to see it because it was shown to me in school, really a great feel good movie, and really easy to identify with the characters even though they're swedish lesbians and I'm a straight white boy from the US

Synecdoche, New York - I felt like I spent a lifetime watching this movie. 10/10

He looks into his mirror and sees that they're slowly gaining on him (this proceeds the accident and leads to the accident at the intersection.) I believe that imagery plays into one of the themes of the book and movie: This is no country for old men. The dogs of doom, the next generartion of degenerates are on your tail. What do we learn about these kids? They literally give the shirts off their backs to this murderer and take a few bucks to keep their mouths shut. It's like the story is saying the next generation will just as corrupt and maybe even worst than Chigurh. It's one of the themes of the book and the movie: No matter how bad you think things are now they next generation will be worst. Thus, the title of the story. It is always worst than the generation before it. That's my take on this scene. Chicgurh, no matter how badass he is, is actually just like everyone else trying to stay one ahead of what's coming.[/sp][/QUOTE]

Turbo Kid - Fun tribute to 80s B-movies, plus it has Michael Ironside which is always a plus. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] [REC] - Good Spanish horror film. imo better than the American remake especially during the final sequence of the film.

I suggest everyone watch World of Tomorrow on Netflix, the new short by Don Hertzfeldt. It's only 16 minutes long and while it's kind of sappy, it's filled with a lot of neat and creepy ideas. It's also oscar-nominated for best animated short right now

H8full Eight 8/10 Great movie. Lots of people didn't like the extensive dialogues but I absolutely loved that shit. But I agree with Mike and Jay that it would've been way cooler if Tarantino didn't do his usual shtick to just [sp]kill everyone in a gory mess. Super intricate character drama western would've been newer and cooler[/sp] [editline]28th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=usaokay;49608952]Roger Ebert changed his perspective on films after his health complications, which I say heavily affected his critical analysis because he became more positive/upbeat. Imagine if I have a health-changing event and start to like every film made by Adam Sandler. I would tell you guys to put me out of my misery before I finish the sentence, "Yeah, so Pixels was pretty good."[/QUOTE] Tbh. I wouldn't do what a lobotomized guy blubbered at me inbetween his foamy drivel fountains.

Re-watched Kingsman recently 8/10, really good spy-action flick

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;49624979]Re-watched Kingsman recently 8/10, really good spy-action flick[/QUOTE] Filming for the sequel just started pretty recently too.

Actually filming doesn't start until April because they're still writing the script.

i really liked Kingsman. at the same time, a part of me feels conflicted about its attitude of classism and how the only nonwhite people were the two villains. otherwise, i thought it was excellent

okay

they have widespread appeal and lots and lots of media presence

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49626122]Why exactly do the Marvel movies make so much money? Is it based on brand recognition alone? Because these movies are mostly really boring.[/QUOTE] Strong marketing presence, recognizable and non-complex storylines with well known characters They're a pretty safe pick when everyone decides they want to go to the movies and don't know what to see [editline]28th January 2016[/editline] credit where credit is due, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy were fine
