[QUOTE=Scot;46124098]you can't book tickets?[/QUOTE]

It's a free first come first serve pre-release screening. I've got tickets, but that doesn't guarantee me a seat in the theater

[Joz]

[QUOTE=AK'z;46123071]it's David Fincher m8, that fucker's gonna be seen for sure.

thing is... PT Anderson is out with a new movie soon, so is Ridley Scott and also Alejandro González Iñárritu.

people were saying it was a lackluster year, but those people will be shocked by the good stuff yet to come :]

[editline]1st October 2014[/editline]

also Nolan... goddamn this end of the year bonanza is good stuff.[/QUOTE]
I'm willing to say that this is the best year since 2007. And if all of the films you mentioned plus Nightcrawler, and plus few newcomers will be as good as they seem - the best since 1994.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;46124134]definitely going to look back into Kielowski's filmograghy as well, I'm aware his 10-part TV series is considered one of the best of all time.

boy damn u scot[/QUOTE]
Kieślowski is my favourite director. When you're watching Three Colors trilogy, you should also watch Double Life of Veronique, or as others call it - Three Colors: Yellow. They are all full of melancholy, this weird, dream-like feeling, and van den Budenmayer.

His earlier stuff is much different - the story is the core, rest is meaningless; it's much more documentary-ish, to a certain degree political. But it doesn't make it bad or boring, no way. My favourite film of his is Camera Buff, and Blind Chance was one of the most intriguing film concept-wise at the moment of its creation.

The TV series, The Decalogue, was the transition between these two "genres", and it's just perfect, it's impossible to phrase it differently. Literally the best thing that was ever made in such format.

movie better be good or i will rate dumb

Dredd

5/5

Still one of the best action movies to come out in recent memory. Decided to give it a watch seeing as it's Day of Dredd and all that. Hopefully all the effort gets it a sequel.

[The Stills]

I think a Dredd sequel might be in a similar situation to Hellboy 3, all the people involved want to make it, but no studio is willing to give them the money to do so.

Day of the Dead - 8.5/10

Still my favorite of George Romero's "Of The Dead" movies.

I remember the first time I watched this and saw the soldier getting his vocal chords ripped out.

I'm not entirely sure what 12 year old me was thinking when I decided watching this couldn't go wrong.

9/10

Just like Judge Dredd himself, this movie knows what it's doing and is damn good at it. I remember enjoying it before, but I forgot just how dynamite it is - proof that 90 minutes is all you need for a great movie.

I really need to get this on Blu-Ray. Even on DVD, though, the visuals are fantastic. The dingy yellows, the piercing reds, and the bursts of saturation through slo-mo and gunfire make for a great visual experience. Punchy action effects and the throbbing electronic soundtrack tie it all together.

[Rusty100]

i am glad you are all watching Dredd on dredd day. if you haven't, do it
if you don't own it, buy it.

[Corndog Ninja]

One thing I forgot to mention is that this is the rare time where making the exaggerated source material "more realistic" actually works in its favor rather than making it boring

[Rusty100]

really the only thing that was made more realistic were the judge uniforms. afaik the world it's in is pretty much the same as the comics. there's still mutants and psychics and everything in it.

[editline]2nd October 2014[/editline]

but i really like that they kept the helmet the same as the comics. the stallone helmet looked like complete shit

[H11]

Watched Tusk.

I need to lay down.

yeah, it's a matter of degrees
the uniforms, saying "fuck" instead of "drokk", toning down the pop-culture references and satire

but still, the central conceit is left exactly the same

Going to see Gone Girl later today. I've heard that it's "too stylish" but I don't know how that's possible.

[Rusty100]

if anything is too stylish its terry gilliam films. in that they're all style and no substance. except 12 monkeys. i like that one.

[Scot]

But there's a difference between something being too stylish and all style.

[B]20,000 Days On Earth (dir. Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard, 2014)[/B]

My expectations were already quite high, but this blew them away. Adored it. As a Nick Cave fan I was excited to hear of this film about a great musician and artist, but I was kinda just seeing it cos it's a film about Nick Cave. But this is a genuinely fantastic film, one of the best of the year no doubt. Opening on a massive set of TV's, a counter going incredibly fast counting up to 20,000. It takes a couple minutes. We see the days fly by, pop culture from 1957 (When Cave was born)til now. Til his 20,000th day.Come the 80's we begin to see bits of Nick Cave's musical career as it grows and builds. There's a massive wall of sound going on too, from music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, who is one of Cave's closest companions musically having played with him for about 20 years and collaborated on a bunch of other film scores (The Proposition -which Cave himself wrote-, The Assassination of Jesse James, The Road, Lawless- so John Hillcoat stuff plus Jesse James :v:) We stop on day 19,999 and then the film begins and we're introduced to the first of several scripted monologues by Cave, where he talks about his philosophies and inspirations etc. He's very blunt and poignant, her has a a lot to say. There aren't any real "interviews" in this film but there's a couple scenes of him talking with his therapist, where he talks about his background and how it affected him and his music, we see him talking to friends in the car (set up, but real conversations) etc.
We also see him rehearsing and playing, there is an amazing bit where we see him and his band at his home studio as they play the whole 9 minutes of the song Higgs-Boson Blues uninterupted off their new album. Incredible to be so intimate with their performance, seeing everyone so into it, you can tell it's a catharsis and what he loves (he states that performance is what he lives for, as through his very narrative and cinematic music he creates a big world over these albums, and performing them lets him escape the real world and get away to be the different person that he wants to be)

Due to the set-up, fictionalised nature of this film we can really see this story unfold as a proper drama with beautifully composed shots and sounds and interactions, the narrative is thin but it's there. We really see into Nick Cave's mind and his philosophies which are [I]incredibly[/I] inspiring. The way he talks is so succinct but so well said and deep. Similar to his lyrics. I loved it.

This film also has what will likely be the best cut of 2014, from him sitting with his two kids watching the iconic moment of Scarface, and when the guns go off it cuts to the Bad Seeds going insane on stage to that absolutely mental noisy bit in Stagger Lee and it was just fucking awesome. The whole film is very slow and melancholic and then that just wakes you right up, kickstarts the entire thing, and begins the next part of the doco. Great.
[B]8/10[/B]

[editline]2nd October 2014[/editline]

Also 2 prove its not just "for nick cave fans" two of ppl I saw it with knew very little about him and one of them said it was one of the best documentaries she'd ever seen so there u go lmao
