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

Watched [b]Enemy (2013)[/b]. I expected a different movie. Moral of the story: never judge movies by their posters. [sp]it was good[/sp]

Actually the poster for enemy has a pretty big clue.

[QUOTE=Scot;45430964]Actually the poster for enemy has a pretty big clue.[/QUOTE] If we're talking about the one with the city, I didn't see the clue before actually watching the movie. It subverted my expectations, because when I saw the word "Enemy" and the thing, I thought it would go down differently.

Noah 5/10 It wasn't that great, a couple of good scenes but all in all I can't say I enjoyed it that much.

Clockwork Orange made you empathise with a psychopath and not many films do that well.[/QUOTE] What I love about Clockwork Orange is how well Kubrick has translated the novel. I'm not saying here about staying faithful to the story, that's not the point. If you've ever read Anthony Burgess' novel, you know how unique it is in the way of narration and specific argot. For this very reason it was considered unfilmable, impossible to translate this feeling on film. And Kubrick nailed it. All of it, narration, language, feeling and morality.

yeah but the thing is, the film wouldn't have worked without Malcolm Mcdowell. [editline]18th July 2014[/editline] some of the shots in Orange were really stunning and the entire vibe of the film is really unique, despite it being 60s; every nook and cranny of the film is blasted 10-fold through the power of good camera work and acting.

Every time I see a advert for Planes 2, I come to think 'how was this funded?', 'why on earth did they want to do a sequel?', '. However I hear people like the sequel than the first one, so have hope. [sp] just kidding, don't have hope [/sp]

The poster for enemy feels absolutely fully of spoilers considering I know it is a weird psychological thriller thing with lots of like dream/identity confusion stuff like from the poster alone I see [sp]the N is squint which means something that will probably make sense when I watch the film but knowing from the poster somethings up from it I may predict it before its intended, I see that the entire thing may be dream or illusion due to the city being in his head and that spiders will be a major symbol in solving the mystery, most likely[/sp] I know nothing of the film aside what I said and the poster. I don't consider it a bad poster because it has info though, its a good one cos it had enigmas and will make sense to those who have seen it

People expecting twists and shocking reveals are going to have a bad time. [sp]No dear viewer, it's not yet another "Suddenly, it was all a dream", if you felt that it was shockingly revealed in any way, you clearly did not paid attention to the film.[/sp] [editline]18th July 2014[/editline] Oh, and Boyhood is not anymore 100% on RottenTomatoes. I'm sure it's impossible in this time and age for any film that gained any kind of publicity to maintain it.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;45427890]...but Kubrick was involved in the production?? [B]He would have directed it if he hadn't died[/B][/QUOTE] That's the bit where I assume people complain it being a weak Kubrick copy. The fact that he didn't direct it and Spielberg taking the helm seems to be a common "reason" for people to go "way to fuck up Kubrick' stuff Spielberg"/"lmao at Spielberg trying to do Kubrick" e.g. the ending where people assume Spielberg fucked up by adding in his patented schmaltzy schlock where in reality, it was all Kubrick's idea anyway.

[B]No instructions included: 9/10[/B] Hilarious through out the entire movie, though a lot of the jokes are lost if you don't know a whole lot of Spanish/don't have someone to explain them to you. All the characters are convincing and the main child actor knocks it out of the park. Great movie, I recommend it even if you don't speak Spanish, cause its primarily in English while subtitled in Spanish.

Aladdin - 9/10 Like any child of the 90s, I'm probably a little biased on this because fucking Disney. Though I only ever saw the Dutch dub so this was my first time watching the original version and oh joy, what a solid cast this is. Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried shine as the genie and Iago but Jonathan Freeman and Scott Weinger deserve credit for their performances as Jafar and Aladdin too, especially Freeman. He sounds so delightfully creepy. The kind of vocal tone that makes you almost shiver at how creepy and loathsome you just know the guy you're talking to is. Yeah, snippets of the animation (and especially the CG) have aged kinda poorly and the ending is hella contrived but screw you, Aladdin is a fucking awesome movie.

Watched Enemy, then watched this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9AWkqRwd1I[/media] Loved the movie, and also [sp]yelled like a punk bitch at the end[/sp]

if you had to watch a video explaining Enemy then you weren't watching the film properly it was all pretty obvious to me

I don't see a fault in confirming what I had already thought save for one or two details. [sp]I don't see how anyone misinterpreted a lot of the imagery, just a few things like the mosaic on the wall slipped me, as well as I crossed some wires with the voice mail in the beginning.[/sp] [B]AND [/B]Christ Stuckmann makes nice videos. Congrats on catching everything 100% first time through though.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;45433318]if you had to watch a video explaining Enemy then you weren't watching the film properly it was all pretty obvious to me[/QUOTE] It's interesting to dissect it all, that's all. No reason to accuse him of not watching the film properly.

How does one watch a film "properly"

Snowpiercer - 8/10 A super interesting concept that keeps on chugging (heh) and never skips a beat. Some flak I had against it was the fact that there were too many white people. I can see why that is at the front of the train acting as a sort of social commentary, but if all of humanity is crammed into one train there would be [I]way[/I] more cultural diversity. But Bong Joon-Ho's directing is amazing and each sequence is fresh and entertaining with some really cool stylistic elements to them. If you haven't seen his other films you really should (Memories of Murder especially).

It's not humanity, it's the people who had tickets. They just became humanity because everyone else died.

Berlin Job (aka St. George's Day) 1/10 Just bad. Felt like it went on forever even though it was only 90 minutes. The whole thing was basically continuous exposition. Never exciting.

I might have something for you it dont pay much thought.

[QUOTE=Scot;45435081]How does one watch a film "properly"[/QUOTE] idk about you but I watch my movies with the tv off

I detect electromagnetic waves with my EM-wave detection organs

It subverted my expectations, because when I saw the word "Enemy" and the thing, I thought it would go down differently.[/QUOTE] don't worry, when I first saw the poster for Enemy and saw the big ass spider I thought it was going to be a movie like War of the Worlds

[QUOTE=Killuah;45435900]It's not humanity, it's the people who had tickets. They just became humanity because everyone else died.[/QUOTE] I get that, but even then it's a train that travels around the world and I would probably expect to see more diverse passengers.

[B]Pain & Gain[/B] - 7.5/10 watching The Rock do coke was too much fun probably the best Michael Bay movie i've seen. great satire

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;45439239][B]Pain & Gain[/B] probably the best Michael Bay movie[/QUOTE] Don't you mean 'The Rock'?

imagine if The Rock was in The Rock

[QUOTE=TheKritter71;45439406]Don't you mean 'The Rock'?[/QUOTE] that movie was terrible lol

[QUOTE=ghoulhugs;45439202]I get that, but even then it's a train that travels around the world and I would probably expect to see more diverse passengers.[/QUOTE] Not when first class is really expensive and the train is made in the US but I get what you're saying, from a production perspective it's kinda weird .
