Rate The Last Movie You Watched - April V3 - no tv shows - General

[QUOTE=Scot;43033569]I have never seen that before.[/QUOTE] I see it on online games mostly. Oh and on Twitch chat, with fighting games and the like. In any case, I changed it. I'm mainly trying to avoid using slang that much anyways.

[QUOTE=Dunsparce;43033598]Twitch chat, with fighting games[/QUOTE] There's your problem.

The Hungry Game 2: Fire getting caught 4.3/10 I actually liked the first one but don't even know why I watched either of them (not my kind of movie), boring and the story really sucks to begin with. Really shit characters is the main reason it sucked to me.

[B]Inglorious Basterds[/B] - 9/10 [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/Inglourious_Basterds_poster.jpg[/IMG] Finally caught up with the rest of y'all and saw this movie. It's my third Tarantino flick (after [I]Pulp Fiction[/I] and [I]Django Unchained[/I]) and I quite enjoy his over-the-top style. I liked the weird grindhouse-esque effects (such as Hugo Stiglitz's introduction) and I think overall the film was very successful. Like Landa, it shifts very effectively from tense drama to affable comedy without ever feeling jerky or uneven.

[b]Waltz with Bashir (2008)[/b] Israeli meets with fellow soldiers who fought with him in the Lebanon conflict in the early 80's to help him fill in the mental blanks about what actually happened. This one is an animation over the actual recorded chatter between the man who the film focuses on and his fellow servicemen from the time. [b]Lebanon[/b] one and half hours inside a tank during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. for me it was ok but nothing too special. 4 crew are a bit green but soon understand the reality of war. [b]Broken Circle Breakdown[/b] Belgian copy of Blue Valentine with a different backdrop and added ingregients. The film has some generic predictables but the 2 leads lifted the film to a better place than the director was able to. Bluegrass music is a central theme. Sex scenes were very good.

I so want to see Wadjda but even a year and a half after release... it's still not out.

People like her will be the force of change ion that hell hole. Its a shame there are still cultures that prevent women from such expression.

Companies really need to get their shit together man :( Maybe it's a front runner for the foreign film acadamy award who knows, but the A Separation director came out with a new release that's supposed to be good if not better than that. [editline]1st December 2013[/editline] Best documentary has got to go to Act of Killing, if it doesn't that'll just be the shame of a century. Gotta catch the theatrical cut of that tbh

silly akz, youre not supposed to quote she who shall not be named

I watched The Fountain i really liked it. it's hard to describe, but it's one of darren aronofsky's finest. hugh jackman is fantastic and it's a very touching movie. it follows a few different stories about eternal life, accepting death, and creating life from it. i'd highly recommend it

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43035723]Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple- 9.5/10 Absolutely riveting documentary.[/QUOTE] I saw that one last year and liked it. The original film footage and audio is really creepy. Jim Jones was a facinating cult leader. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("jewdozer" - Rusty100))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Scot;43033152]They'll have to re-shoot yes. It's happened before.[/QUOTE] the movie is in post-production, doesn't that mean they have already done all the shooting?

[QUOTE=KlaseR;43037018]the movie is in post-production, doesn't that mean they have already done all the shooting?[/QUOTE] Gangster Squad reshot the entire final sequence after the Batman shootings. It delayed it by a couple months. It was pretty obviously reshot though tbh cos it felt rushed and not well put together. Probably knocked it in a couple days. Not watched anything new but Ive spent the last 2 days on 2 different sets, full days and im exhausted. Need a good film to relax to. Something not too intense. Any recommendations? Something on Netflix preferably. Feeling a good comedy. A non-gay romcom or a quirky one or something?

I rewatched Untouchable with François Cluzet and Omar Sy with some friends. It's one of those that can be rewatched with enjoyment. You work on film sets?

Yea when I can. I study TV at college. want to go into freelance while making my own stuff as well. On saturday I was grip/2nd AD on a short film. Past couple months I've been assistant tutoring on a short film scheme with 12-18 y/o's where at the end we make 3 short films. So today we shot one of them. its really good and I hope to keep doing this kinda stuff and work with the organisation more. I don't do a whole lot of on set work partly cos of college but I'm still at the bottom and working up. I'm only 19 anyway so I have time. I'll look into that film tho [editline]1st December 2013[/editline] Empire released their [url=http://www.empireonline.com/features/films-of-the-year-2013/]Top 50 of 2013[/url] Its pretty horrendous tbh and also Im pretty sure a lot of these films were 2012??

The Truman Show - 9/10 My wife and I decided to sit down and watch this together. She had never seen this before and it's been several years since I've watched it. It was amazing. Very thought provoking. Nothing quite like it before and nothing quite like it since. Highly recommended.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;43037147]Empire released their [url=http://www.empireonline.com/features/films-of-the-year-2013/]Top 50 of 2013[/url][/QUOTE] Looked at the list, have one word to describe it Terrible

I actually liked The Conjuring. One of the reasons for that though is that I could see potential for James Wan as a horror director, but he's apparently "quit" horror. Which is a shame because I feel like if he continued a little bit he'd end up with something great. He had some great things going on in The Conjuring but it wasn't quite enough (although it was enough to make the film good) I do think its the best Hollywood horror film I've seen in LONG time. But yes WWZ was horrific. Also Man of Steel is 28, which is above films like Blue is The Warmest Colour, Prisoners, Place Beyond The Pines, Frances Ha. And the fact that the ocassionally great, generally mediocre and borderline terrible all at the same time Iron Man 3 is at place 6 is fucking shocking.

Prisoners are 46th and how the fuck can anyone put Iron Man 3 before "Before Midnight". It's a joke that they had to put films from 2012 (especially those who were in awards race last year, khm Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty, Django, Cloud Atlas?) and medium blockbusters to fill it in.

empire is crap m8

Empire is shoddy and baised and circlejerky anyway. I like some of their stuff but I dont trust them at all when it comes to well anything [editline]1st December 2013[/editline] like they'll laud some things and slam others without real justifications and they are very unprofessional a lot of the time. But I guess that colloquial style makes them popular among teenagers (which makes sense given Empire's bias towards mediocre superhero films and whatever 16 year olds are interested in) [editline]1st December 2013[/editline] it feels like one of those awful gamer mags only for films. thats basically what it is.

I puked at Iron Man 3 being 6th place

No film review outlet is perfect because its all in the eye of the beholder. IMDB is the best of a bad bunch, much of my stuff either comes from there or here.

At least Empire seems better than whatever the hell is going on with Ebert's old site. Out of about ten people, only one or two have decent opinions (and even that's a stretch). Everyone else just shits out a negative review trying to get noticed for being an edgy reviewer, kind of like how Ebert was when he was starting out, usually going against the grain.

ebert's site is now about hating very decent films and praising very useless contrived ones..

Really, they just need to dissolve the whole thing and let the site become and archive for his old reviews. I can understand trying to keep it alive since they just overhauled the whole thing, but it's been at least six months now. Pull the plug.

Someone's dared me to sit through a viewing of Max Payne and I (perhaps foolishly) accepted it. Considering how they recasted Jim Bravura, a 60-something-year-old fart, to be played by fucking Ludacris(!), I have set the bar somewhere around cellar level.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88WDjpm_ius[/media] Shia LeBeouf is starring in a film thats out in January and it looks great [editline]1st December 2013[/editline] I feel like Shia LeBeouf is gonna be a director. Not Kevin Costner/Ben Affleck style career change I can just see him making an indie feature like James Franco/JGL. I think it'd be a pretty daring and interesting film. I love his attitude.
