I love feel bad movies.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;45751173]I love feel bad movies.[/QUOTE] There is a difference between feel bad "Oh my god the thing that is happening is horrible" like in Schindler's List or Requiem for a Dream and feel bad "Let's just humiliate the main character for one and a half hour to show what a loser he is". The second one is just a cheap way to invoke any kind of emotion in viewer and social discomfort is one of the easiest one to do.

no definitely watch Martyrs it is fantastic [editline]20th August 2014[/editline] and not a cheap horror film. It's a great film that really gets under your skin [sp]no pun intended[/sp].

I know it's great but I have a feeling he won't enjoy it.

Martyrs may humiliate its star but it's smarter than that, like it has an agenda past making you just feel bad. It's a hell of an experience either way tho.

What Dreams May Come 4/5 Visually, this movie is incredibly beautiful. I could have turned off the sound and still have been wowed by this movie. Robin Williams was great, Max von Sydow was great, Cuba Gooding Jr. was good at times and better at others. Despite all that, this movie was rather shapeless in the beginning and the rest of the plot never really grabbed me. I don't know why but it didn't. It was almost like it was missing some emotional drive. Sure, the characters had it, but it never really compelled me. Even so, good movie. Werner Herzog had a humorous cameo. Also, for BITWC, which I rather liked, I do agree that it was gratuitous. Yeah, we get it, they're lesbians and in love, but a 6 minute sex scene culminating with a 69 is too much. Hell, if you just cut all the sex scenes or trimmed them down enough so we got the gist of it, I would still have given it a 5/5. Everything else I think is quite beautiful.

Ocean's 11: 9/10 I was expecting some generic heist movie but this movie was awesome. I don't know why but [I]George Clooney sounds so familar[/I]. He sounds just like Buzz Lightyear...

tim allen and george clooney don't sound very alike to me.

Mandatory post bus trip movie splurge Mean Girls: 6/10 She's the Man: 5/10 Easy A: 7/10 Blues Brothers: 10/10 Austin Powers 1: 9/10 Finding Nemo: 8/10 What a day

world of the monkeys 2 eh, was expecting a more down to earth (for a sci fi movie about talking apes at least) story like the last one, but it was a lot more blockbuster-y and i didn't really like that about it. the main guy was really good (as were most performances in this film), but i just didn't think he was as charismatic as james franco. still a good action movie and i did enjoy it though, it's just that i feel like it was overhyped a bit here on fp at least

[b]The Fly (1986)[/b] Fucking incredible. My only complaint is that the movie's musical theme could've been used more extensively, it would've really added to the climax. As a side note, I cannot fathom why Jeff Goldblum didn't become a huge movie star then and there. edit: Also watched [b]Videodrome (1983)[/b], and it was great.

Just watched the new Purge film. Wasn't actually as bad as i thought it would be. I kind of hope they continue with them because i kind of like the idea of it. Next time i want them to do either: Group of Uni Students perspective, Small towns (possibly 2 towns conflicts), Rich Anti-purge group who are invited to a Purge dinner party and just annihilate shit.

The Wind Rises - 9/10 Everything I want from a Ghibli film.

Also, rewatched a classic. The Matrix 7/10 God, the fight scenes were fucking cool, and still is, fucking cool. [video=youtube;Es2uYtSJh-Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es2uYtSJh-Y[/video]

[B]Wake In Fright (Dir. Ted Kocheff, 1971)- 8/10[/B] Considered to be Australia's great lost film (described by Nick Cave as "The best and most terrifying film about Australia in existence" and i trust Nick Cave cos he is weird and cool and wrote a sequel to Gladiator where Russel Crowe is brought back to life to kill a Jesus-like character by order of the Gods), there was no chance to see this after its 1971 release due to no VHS or DVD copies or TV runs. That is, of course, until 2009, where it was re-released on DVD and blu-ray. It also did a theatre run this (last?)year that interested me and I missed it, so I was happy to see it's on Netflix. The film is great, starting with a brilliantly slow 360 panning shot of the Australian outback. John Grant, an English school teacher working in a small Australian town, staying a night at a little town on the way to his holiday, but ends up not being able to leave and having to stay in this barbaric town as he meets weird cops and crazy alcoholics who live without money and box kangaroos. As the days go on and he experiences more of this madness he too becomes as depraved as the lot, and it's shown brilliantly through the great and psychedelic cinematography and editing, which reminded me of a Jodorowsky flick without the weird symbolism. The characters are all great and Grant's descent feels totally authentic as it's about the only thing he can do in the world city in the world. Brilliant film, pretty strange, highly recommended.

Bronson - 9/10 Tom Hardy is a brilliant actor. Quite possibly my favorite actor of all time. His facial expressions, his mannerisms, the chilling delivery in all of his lines in this movie, bundled with some funny moments and a good moral and story of what not to do with the potential you can have in life, Bronson is just a brilliant movie. The fact that Hardy won no Oscar or something for his performance is truly heart-breaking. He fucking BECAME Charles Bronson. Beautiful movie. Modern-Day Clockwerk Orange, in terms of direction, music, everything. Refn is honestly my favorite director right now.

First reviews for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For [url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sin_city_a_dame_to_kill_for/]are in.[/url] It's not good, but let's not kid ourselves - nobody was expecting another Vertigo. Most of the reviews says that it's in similar tone to the first installment. I won't be unable to see it until September 5th, so I have a question to people who already seen it - Does [sp]Clive Owen appears in the film? Cameo, one shot showing his face, or voice, whatever that is.[/sp] If the answer is negative, save me ten bucks and tell me beforehand. I'll wait for Blu-Ray. If it's positive, you might not tell me at all, I will have a surprise. [editline]21st August 2014[/editline] On the other hand, I heard somewhere that Eva Green is naked there for majority of her screen time. I might not need any other argument to convince me to see it.

Please don't be a Machete Kills. I actually liked the first one.

dont hate on machete kills that movie was great

If you have to, take one for the team? Go watch If I Stay if it makes her happy. Otherwise, GotG is a great movie, unless there's something really really wrong with your girlfriend.

[I]Guardians[/I] was excellent it'll teach you to become a pelvic sorcerer

[QUOTE=Wingz;45761715]dont hate on machete kills that movie was great[/QUOTE] You know what, I normally respect someones opinion, and while im not going to say youre wrong for enjoying that movie, people are entitled to like what they like, but Machete Kills actually has no redeeming value in it. Machete, the first film, was an extension of the Grindhouse double feature. Arguably, it is better than both of those. It was witty, fresh and interesting, because we already knew the character from the silly ass fake trailer, we knew what to expect. However Machete went far beyond schlocky cheese and even had a rough form of a message. Machete was no masterpiece but it WAS a competent film on its own. Now we get to Machete Kills. What they fuck were they thinking? No message, over the top for the sake of it (in really fucking shitty cheesy ways), Machete is like fucking super powered or something now? The special effects were actually worse than the first somehow. Unless the film was some clever satire on how sequels suck more than the original (which if it is and im missing something. Bra fucking vo), this movie was the sorriest piece of shit I ever spent a couple bucks to watch. I dont want to see Sin City 2 because I completely gave up faith in Rodriguez. I hope to hear good word of mouth but I somehow feel like it wont. Anyways thats just how I feel, some might have a perfectly good reason to like a movie and thats good for you.

rodriguez and tarantino both have a way of making over the top action seem serious and comedic at the same time if you think machete was supposed to be taken seriously at all, and thought machete kills was bad because it took it many steps further, then you misinterpret his style almost every movie hes made has been over the top, and machete kills is like a climax, a defining piece for him its funny how you took it so seriously though, when it was intent on being an action movie so over-the-top that its also a comedy maybe if it had a really lame mexican border message or a deep philisophical meaning you'd like it better, but thats not what rodriguez is about [editline]21st August 2014[/editline] i dont know how you can like the first machete but not the second tbh did you fall asleep through it? and as for you not liking rodriguez, i can see why you wouldnt hes not high class or anything like that i feel like hes the mexican tarantino, albeit not quite tarantinos level theyre the only 2 directors ive seen whove been able to seemlessly blend violence and comedy together in a way where they were nearly inseparable also the fact that rodriguez does nearly everything for the production of his movies besides act you should watch predators if you want to see a more serious rodriguez movie and just as a PS for my sake, even though I'm a huge fan of both rodriguez and tarantino, i still feel like sin city was a failure

imo no one is comparable to Quentin Tarentino. his movies are very unique machete is nothing like a tarentino movie because it went full retard with no brains whatsoever

you should probably rewatch it theres a whole lot of satire and cleverness in the writing the plot isnt much but it definitely has brains im not very good at explaining my thoughts, but try watching it like a violent comedy also, rodriguez is very much comparable to tarantino theyve even worked together on some movies rodriguez doesnt add as much depth to his movies as tarantino, but it would be foolish to say that they have nothing in common

i watched death proof and planet terror on ifc a while back without knowing anything about them. it was so painfully obvious which one was tarentino's movie (which was miles better even though it was nothing special at all) they might be similar in some ways but rodriguez is pretty much inferior i think. i don't really need to see people getting their (prop) testicles ripped out and having nothing to show for it, i ended up turning it off pretty quickly [editline]d[/editline] obviously his style isn't for everyone but i still think it's straight up stupid and i don't get how anyone could call it interesting. just because it's satirical doesn't make it any less bad when the satire isn't even "clever" his movies might be fun but are you really watching them for the "brains" they have? come on
