I need to finish watching that movie one of these days

Just on the bus home from seeing Blue is the Warmest Colour. 5/5. 10/10. A+. I'd say I'm speechless but I'm not at all. I want to talk forever about this. Went to see it with my two kinda partners in movie going and movie making, we just talked all the walk to the bus stop about it and nothing other than the highest praise was said. This is definitely my new favourite film of the year and one of the best films I've ever seen. Absolutely astounding and beautiful direction working fRom a deep, powerful and emotional script with two of the greatest performances I've seen in my entire life. I cannot believe that the director and stars were debuting with this. This is the stuff of masters in every single way. I feel like I can't do it justice to write this via text, I was planning on writing a proper rreview when I get home on the computer but I'm going to go with this as it. Just gripping from the first frame to last. Running at 179 minutes I expected a slog even if I enjoyed it but absolutely not. I was inside the film from minute one to minute 179. Assuming this director continues to work, he's going to godown in history as one of the greats. Literally not a single complaint about anything in this film at all. Perfect. [editline]23rd November 2013[/editline] I was led to believe that these are debuts from all involved but they're actually not, it's the director's fourth film but it's the first major film for the lead actress. I think that's where I got it from. She got a bunch of newcomer attention. Looks like they already had a bit to back themselves on- still, she's only 20 now. Long way to go.

I watched Thor 2 last week and Hunger Games 2 half an hour ago. I'd say Thor 2 is a 7/10. I generally really liked it and I found it funnier than most "comedies", but I was a bit disappointed how little of it happened in our world. Thinking about it, it might have been better to show more of worlds we don't already know though. Hunger Games 2: 8.5/10 I absolutely loved the first half (?) before the games actually started. While it was not as intense as the second half, it was far more interesting. The games themselves were pretty much how I remember them from the first one. The only thing I really didn't like was the extreme, ridiculous, fuck-you-if-you-didnt-read-the-books cliffhanger. Also Johanna is awesome.

couldn't give a toss about trailers or reviews, that's one film I've been eager to see this entire year, dunno why.

The dialogue is a little bit Godard-ian at times but not so strong, more realistic (the love interest in the film is an art student so there's several artists and stuff in the film and they discuss philosophers and painters and stuff, but that's because it's what they do and it's real. It's not pretentious imo. They don't really try and force themes into the film or whatever. They just build characters) The film's also not really about being gay tbh, it's a love story and a coming of age story and it's about finding yourself. So yes sexuality definitely comes into that and this film explores it beautifully. It shows that it isn't black and white and that it's a confusing and difficult thing to work out. I really respect the way it handles it. But this film rises above being just a gay film exploring the difficulties of being gay. It's a human film.

Prisoners (2013) 86/100 Holy fucking shit. So intense and utterly terrifying. Amazing cinematography (on par with Se7en, similarly in style) and superb acting. It was fucking fantastic. Do yourself a favor and just jump right in without reading any details about the movie. [editline]23rd November 2013[/editline] One of the best movies of 2013, for sure.

A couple extra thoughts too- the cinematography was absolutely incredible and I have to say it's some of the most evocative cinematography I've seen. The use of lingering, handheld camera, the depth of field and focus pulls. The attention on eyes and body language. After the much talked about 12 minute sex scene -which to me was absolutely not superfluous or self indulgent- I wondered perhaps if it was while it was happening, but the second I saw Adele's face when it was finished I understood why it was done. And I knew that the film was great. The film has several very graphic sex scenes and the first one between them lasts 12 minutes but the rest are only 1-4 minutes I'd say, depending on which scenes. They were incredibly real and sensual and intimate, not pornographic at all but beautiful. It's not masturbation material. It's honest. The film explores their relationship and sex is an important part of that and it doesn't shy away because the film knows that sex isn't dirty and there's no reason to hide sex. I hate in Hollywood films when they dodge around actually showing sex- it's embarrassing and obvious. I'm not saying through in some sex to make it real, I'm saying don't censor yourself. Film is art and art should never be censored imo. I'm just thinking of this one shot where they're sitting in a field, and Adele is laying down just looking at Emma. we see a macro shot of her arm, and we see every detail, her hairs, freckles, spots. It's beautiful and you really connect. Because that's what it's like. When you're with someone, especially at the start like that, everything about them is great, even their imperfections. There's also a shot where Emma is painting a portrait of Adele (Emma is an art student) and it's another closeup shot, it tracks from her legs, past her clit, her belly button, breasts, up to her face. And it just really shows everything Emma is feeling while she's looking at Adele right there. There's lust, yeah, but it's mostly admiration and love. It's incredible. Emma has wonky teeth and they could easily have got dentures for them but nope. Because people don't have perfect teeth. Adele has spots on her face at times which they could easily cover up but they don't need to because everyone gets spots once in a while. it's just little things. Man I could go on and on about the cinematography alone... This film is going to rattle around in my head for a long time to come.

Yea Blue Is The Warmest Colour is definitely on my watchlist. I am almost expecting it to be one of my favorites'.

I'm really hoping it gets Academy Award attention. It really deserves it but I don't know if it'll get any, the Academy usually has that one foreign film to try and seem a bit more cultured :v: last year it was Amour for instance. And I pin that entirely on the NC-17 rating. No NC-17 has won an Academy Award and as far as I'm aware only Blue Valentine and Last Tango In Paris have been nominated? May be wrong though (best supporting actress in Blue Valentine for Michelle Williams, best actor for Brando and best director for Bertolucci in Last Tango) Hopefully it gets at least a best foreign film nomination, maybe a win. Imo both actresses deserve nominations and best screenplay and best director. maybe cinematography too. A man can dream I guess :v: [editline]23rd November 2013[/editline] also they watch Enter The Void in the cinema which was cool

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;42951931]Wild, Wild West- 2/10 Really fucking stupid and annoying throughout. Hansel and Gretel Get Baked- 2/10 About as good as it sounds.[/QUOTE] I haven't seen Wild Wild West since I was like 10 years old and saw it on TBS. I remember liking it back then, but doubt I'd feel the same way if I saw it now.

I heard that the actresses in Blue is the Warmest Colour felt exploited by the director and never want to work with him again.

The Truman Show: 9.8/10 When I get to the age when I should start making a bucket list, I'll have one less thing to put on it

the world's end 8/10 that was fantastic

I think Wild Wild West is a good bad movie, like The Room, or Birdemic. Though it's been a decade since I've seen it, so it could just be really bad.

it's that movie where you go to watch it after years of having not seen it then you realize why you never watched it again.

We're the Millers - 4/10 Really dumb, but it was kinda funny, which was all it was trying to accomplish. A lot of the humor was hit or miss, but the scene with [sp]Kenny practicing kissing with Emma Roberts and Aniston was hilarious, probably the best scene of the movie.[/sp]

prisoners owns so hard

[B]The Red Violin (1998)[/B] A tale that starts in the late 1600's at the moment a violin in made by a master craftmen and the ensuing 400 years of history detailing the people who have owned it and been how they are affected by it, right up to an auction for it in modern day. This is a fantastic idea as the star of the film was a piece of wood with some strings attached to it but the characters and intrigue surrounding its tale are wonderful and nicely edited together. Theres a nice plot to it as the violin has a couple of secrets up its sleve which worked brilliantly because its story is connected with its past. Samuel Jackson was a gamble in his role but the fact he pulled off his character is testament to his abilities and he should continue with a bit of diversity. Overall this was a fantastic film with an original delivery. I recommend this highly. [B]The Act of Killing (2012 docu film)[/B] Docu film of a group of men who were involved in the Indonesian mass murder of communists in the 60's. The concept is these men are asked to star in their own film where they re-enact their murdering in the style of various film genres. To watch mass murderers doing this and talking on camera totally openly about the crimes they committed leaves me wordless. These men are friends with government and society seems to view them as heros. The detail they go into about what they did is just odd as normally such men would run from the cameras. I managed to see the 2:40 full version which was somewhat overlong but when it hit, it hit hard, especially when they start to wrap things up. These men are beasts and the fact they are celebrated publicly and are able to speak so openly about their crimes is a terrible indictment of Indonesian establishment and society. The international war crimes courts really need to look further than the easy targets in the African continent and take a look at this film. This was not really edited too well but to have such men talking so openly on camera in this senario makes this essential viewing. A must see. Some nice posts about Warmest colour and Von Triers upcoming here comrades. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("alt of jewdozer" - Rusty100))[/highlight]

Catching Fire: 8.5/10 Damn good, ending was pretty bad due to it just completely cutting out the end of the book so they have have a two part system for Mockingjay. Either way, it was still better than the original, and at least they handled the camera properly in this one during the games.

The Mist - wtf

Army of Darkness I liked this one more than Evil Dead 2, but not as much as the first one (which is still my favorite of the series). That said, I still very much enjoyed this one. It's probably my new favorite "screwball" comedy movie. The comedy parts were great, the action parts were great, it was all pretty great. The stop-motion on the skeleton army was really nice. Overall really fun movie, go watch it. I give it 5 boomsticks out of 5.

Goldmember definitely has its moments though.

I love all 3 of them equally.

[B]JOBS 10/10[/B] I thought this movie was overall just great, mostly because I love Steve Jobs and thought the movie was really interesting. I like the life story type movies.

steve jobs was a cunt, by almost all accounts. i dont understand how they can make a nice movie about him [editline]24th November 2013[/editline] and he literally just died it's so soon to be making a movie. everyone still remembers that he is a cunt. they should have waited until everyone who knew he was such a big cunt died.
