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

The Conjuring - 8/10 Ending was rushed, otherwise it was a genuine horror flick that really got me good.

only god forgives 9.5/10 wow that shit was cool

Hot Fuzz - 9/10 Absolutely hilarious movie.

saw a few: The Isle, Fire and Only God Forgives. A thing in common with these is that I'm very sure a lot of people are going to absolutely hate these films. The film called Fire, is an Indian film that caused so much controversy that fires were started in theatres in order to protest the release. Something like that is just sad, because when we westerners look at such a film, the subject matter seems anything but offensive. It contains religious elements but in the end it's a heartfelt love story which goes against the conformities of hindu culture. I think the focus here was that it was a girl loving a girl rather than caring as to whether love mattered or not. I definitely haven't seen anything like that in Indian cinema though so definitely a good one. Onto [b]Only God Forgives[/b] Now this film, is a whopper. But I reaaally doubt it'll gain followers in the numbers of Drive. I was never a Drive fanatic as such, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was invigorated but it never personally connected somehow. There were definitely some subtle spiritual elements but too subtle for me to remember and I'll definitely have to see it again. This film though... is something else. It's VERY much away from the styles Refn has portrayed. You can see bits and pieces because he sure loves his colours. The shots here feel very intricate and placed. The pacing goes from being smooth to disconnected like a David Lynch film (although not to the extreme). At the end of the day, it's a highly exhilarating watch for me. One I'd see again and; I never expected Christen Scott Thomas to portray something like that, she apparently hated it but she really ruled that role. Gosling was poised and a lot less of a boastful strong character as seen in pretty much all his films. Here he's very withdrawn and passive. Not the best role but it works in the context of the film. As for the film itself, it's a kind of delicate thriller. Although it's gruesome, I think I've reached the point where blood and guts is what it is. :v: The supposed "villain" is a lot more than what I thought actually. Quite an intriguing character opposite others, he too is withdrawn but he can talk Thai like he owns the place (also sing). It's one Refn film I was attached to throughout. It MAY have something to do with my love for Asian vibes but yes a lot here is familiar to me. One of the Thai actors I'm sure I've seen somewhere, maybe in Rescue Dawn.. I'm pretty sure he says "Americalli" in one film. Then he gets [sp]fizzled by burning oil and whacked with a hot pan[/sp]. I think the violent nature here is very skilfully executed. Especially the pounding, I haven't seen such a sequence that emphasised the hits with quite realistic sounds. To conclude, it won't be the dynamite that people were after. But for me personally, it has a solid intestinal grab. :-) One for the late nights.

How To Train Your Dragon reminded me how good animated films can be, so I watched a couple more. Ratatouille 8/10 I'd seen this before ages ago but there was a lot I couldn't remember so it was a pretty fresh experience. Nice and original film. WALL-E 8/10 Great characters considering most of them are robots, they have real personality. Good fun. Also, I watched HTTYD again and I might have to revise my score to 10/10, I never really give 10's but I love this film so much I think if I can call anything a 10 it may have to be this. Everything is so well done, great animation and the soundtrack is brilliant too. Definitely a 9 at least. (You should watch it if you haven't.)

I'd rank Wall-E and Ratatouille higher than How to Train Your Dragon but that's my opinion.

They are both really good, but there's just something about HTTYD that I really really like. But yeah to each their own.

The meaning of life (monty python) 6.5 out of 10. Some of the jokes were funny, a lot of it was just shit though. Then again the sound quality wasn't on it's side. (i can't stand shitty sound)

The Savages 9/10

[QUOTE=Butthurter;41531196]he didnt mention toy story 3???[/QUOTE] I'm just saying I thought it was good.

I found it impossible. The problem is some of it has still suffered all the same. All the people I've met that saw the cinema release of 'Life of Brian' thought the bit where Jesus falls off a great height only to be saved by a random alien spaceship that zooms around in space with cheap alien costumes inside while Jesus just looks befuddled was one of the funniest things they'd ever seen because it was so random and unexpected- it wouldn't be so funny to some people now for certain.

Only God Forgives - 9.5/10 Damn fine movie.

Oldboy - 10/10 Shiiit.

[QUOTE=Pops;41534731]HTTYD was good but you can't beat Pixar at their own game TS3 brought full grown men to tears dreamworks has yet to produce a film with that level of feels[/QUOTE] Toy Story 3 had the advantage of being an established series for a decade. HTTYD was something fresh.

monty python is funny when you're 10 years old it's essentially 'xd randome' bullshit, devoid of any level of wit. but nobody on the internet agrees because theyre wearing their nostalgia goggles and masturbating all over it. i loved it when it was little, but watching it as an adult its objectively unfunny. i cant even smile at it. [editline]21st July 2013[/editline] biggus dickus ha hah ahah rofl!!! it sounds like BIG DICK!!! LOL!!! [editline]21st July 2013[/editline] LOL!! SPAM!! haha epic spam for the wins so funny

[QUOTE=Scot;41534839]Toy Story 3 had the advantage of being an established series for a decade. HTTYD was something fresh.[/QUOTE] nobody's debating that, i loved HTTYD it's just that TS3 is still the superior film.

I'm sick of this "nobody can beat pixar" mentality. They've really been slipping since Cars 2.

Rango kicks a load of Pixar films' asses

why would i be? are your childhood memories of it that precious that you can't even bare to hear it criticized? have you even watched any of it as an adult? like, objectively? give it a go. [editline]21st July 2013[/editline] the holy grail used to be my favourite movie of all time. watching it again was so painful and insufferable. it's the anti-funny [editline]21st July 2013[/editline] just like what happened with kung pow. try watching that shit again without tearing your eyes out

Toy Story 1/2/3 - 10/10

Termimator 2 - a god tier movie

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;41534563]Oldboy - 10/10 Shiiit.[/QUOTE] i wouldn't say 10, but its still pretty damn fine

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;41535869]i wouldn't say 10, but its still pretty damn fine[/QUOTE] Most engaging movie I've seen in years.

Holy Grail, Flying Circus, Life Of Brian, Meaning Of Life, all of it. In fact, I didn't even start seeing their stuff until I was older. I have (and still do) find it funny. The only problem is that so many other shows or people tried to copy it's style/success or quote it on the internet that it can taint your perception to the point where it's hard to appreciate the fact that back when this show originally aired it was considered witty and original.
