guys do yourselves a favor and dont reply to the new person that is obviously jewdozer

Why can't she just go away? It's pretty obvious she's never going to a functioning, healthy member of our little society that we have here. Does she literally have nothing to do besides create alts that will get banned after a post or two to create posts that we'll briefly skim through and then scroll past it?

I thought you could IP ban nowadays?

Just gets around it IP bans are ridiculously easy to circumvent

well you can do those IP range bans or whatever they're called, can't you? but you know, those end up banning plenty of other, unrelated users, especially in a website as big as fp

The Baytown Outlaws - 4/10 Bad movie with bad action, drama and acting.

Dredd (2012) I just watched this a second time and I still love it. I love how Judge Dredd never even takes his helmet off and how stylized and awesome looking the whole film is. It's sad that it did so poorly in the box office.

I watched Prisoners it was really good out of really good

God Bless America 2/10 I liked how easily it could show Frank being annoyed by stuff in the beginning. That was before characters started spouting off their opinions like they've been waiting for someone to hint at any adjacent topic so they can say them. Not only that but it felt like the entire movie was a surrogate for the creator to just talk about stuff. "I want to talk about how awesome Alice Cooper is now. You know what's stupid? High fives. Stoked is a dumb word." After that I thought the revenge fantasy was as abhorrent as the culture that it was telling me that I should hate, and even if it's also criticizing the idea of "I don't like 'em, kill 'em all," I couldn't help but think it was also indulging in the idea. A smaller complaint I have with it is the inconsistency Frank had when comparing his later ideas to him in the earlier film. "I only want to kill people who deserve to die," doesn't feel that true when the first thing his character does in the film is fantasize about shooting a baby with a shotgun because it was crying.

Rush 10/10 Loved it, my favourite movie of 2013. Daniel Brühl as Nikki Lauda was fantastic and Hemsworth as James Hunt was good too.

[QUOTE=camaroni;43389469]Planes comes to mind and although not necessarily Disney, Cars 2, Brave, and Monsters University were all lackluster by comparison to some of their better works.[/QUOTE] I agree with you except on Monsters University, I liked that more than the previous films you mentioned

[B]1408[/B] An alright horror-thriller film. I've seen this one a couple times before over the years. I don't really have much to say about it though. Just go check it out, you might like it. It's nothing special, but it's not bad. [B]The Wolf of Wall Street[/B] This movie was great. I loved it. This is probably the best role I've seen DiCaprio play ever. Scorsese knocks another one out of the park. The film really gives an idea to the hollowness of wealth. I also have to say that I've never seen a movie with more drugs, swearing, or "ladies of the night" before. Really good comedy throughout, then a drastic change of mood towards the end that will leave you feeling drained as you walk out of the theater. Definitely go see it, it's really worth it.

Some of the effects are kinda okay.

Rush looked nothing like that.

[QUOTE=camaroni;43389469]Planes comes to mind and although not necessarily Disney, Cars 2, Brave, and Monsters University were all lackluster by comparison to some of their better works.[/QUOTE] That's Pixar though. Recent Walt Disney Animation Films: Frozen, Wreck-it Ralph, Winnie The Pooh, and Tangled. Looks pretty solid if you ask me.

Station Agent 8/10 It's a small little film about a guy with dwarfism(what's the politically correct term in english?) who happens to inherit a closed train depot and somehow connects with a guy and a girl who are lost in their lifes and their communities in a countryside New Jersey town. The mood reminded me of "The Way Way Back" quite a lot(although I know this one is older than that movie, I just happened to see WWB first) It radiates melancholy and is mainly driven by mood but keeps a positive ring behind it.

[B]The Twilight Samurai (2002)[/B] Don't expect 90 minutes of chop socky sword swinging because this is a real Japanese film that takes its time. The story follows a delicate man who mourns his wife and just wants to mind his own business. Times change and external forces put him in a difficult position and also make him confront his feelings. This was by no means in the league of Kurosawa but was a fine film, I liked it. [QUOTE=PollytheParrot;43386627]Why can't she just go away?

I've always been polite to you, I expect you to extend me the same courtesy. Don't like my posts? Skim over them.

[B]We're the Millers[/B] a few good laughs amidst very long "dead" moments. I felt like the first 10-20 minutes were great, if it kept that pace it would have been really good. Unfortunately the script gets very sloppy and was generally not thought out well enough.

ill be obvious and say watch The Raid. Its p much Dredd but with lots of martial arts and its pretty awesome.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43391711]Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Complete)- 6.5/10 I fucking adore FF7, but as much fun as it is to see some of my favorite characters again, this is a pretty flawed film, especially in the voice acting department. Worth a watch if you're a fan, but a lot of the vital characters don't show up until the very end.[/QUOTE] Advent Children is awful. They hire horrible voice actors to voice most of the characters plus Cloud Strife is like all 'I failed to save Aerith, ptsd, depression. Oh no, Sephiroth. Gotta get em again'. I am a fan of FFVII, but it wasn't worth watching as you say. Everytime I see the dvd cover, I spit at it. If I wanted to watch a FFVII movie, I would take my chances with watching the Crisis Core cutscenes (i typed spirits within first, that movie isnt ffvii but its a great original idea for a final fantasy movie). The 3d animations and visuals are great though, but the atmosphere is just too gloomy for me to like

47 ronin (2013) Was a pretty good film, heard lots of negative about it. The CGI was pretty dodgy but apart from that all the scene were good.

[B]Kill List- 8/10[/B] Brilliant little British thriller/horror by up-and-coming director Ben Wheatley, who has gathered a fair fanbase here in Britain. It's about 2 retired soldiers, now hitmen, who take up a job they don't know much about but they pay is excellent. Obviously things do not go as planned. Now, this may sound like a really generic and sucky action movie. But goddamn it so is not. It's not an action film although there's a fair bit of violence and the violence there is is pretty extreme. The film is subtly surreal, and it builds on that as it goes on. This is done through the editing and soundtrack, occasionally confusing camerawork, and an ambiguous script. While you probably know that it goes in the direction it would I'll tell you now that you'll not predict how it gets there or how it plays out. The final scene is incredible. A lot of people hated the ending, complaining about the tonal shift and how sudden it is, but to me it nailed it and was great. I didn't expect it, no, but I knew the film was building up to something strange and scary. This film is relentless, disturbing, creepy and straight up terrifying. Really great film and I highly recommend it.

That's why I wrote "not necessarily Disney" at the beginning of that list. But I totally forgot about Wreck-it Ralph. Great movie.

This was my favourite film of 2011 easily, it was just so dark and ugly, the soundtrack is just awful in the best way possible - dat whistle. Also the cold open is brilliant, it just sort of hits you round the head with it's aggression. [editline]2nd January 2014[/editline] also reading into the theory surrounding the film is really interesting as well once you've seen it, kind of helps give things clarity

[QUOTE=Scot;43391686]Rush looked nothing like that.[/QUOTE] Same with Trance, it's different from Dredd. The colors were completely oversaturated.

Kill List, yes. Saw that and went straight out and bought it. The trailers on the blu ray were a bit fucked up. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("alt of jewdozer" - Rusty100))[/highlight]
