Good man. Inception was awesome.

You must all go watch Ong-Bak, Tony Jaa is the fuckin man.

Gojira was alright. Was expecting way more, but then again, I kept getting distracted by the zoologist guy. I'm pretty sure he was the main samurai in The Seven Samurai.

As with most (wait... maybe all?) Godzilla movies, it is a pretty poorly made film. The intrigue of the film really only shines when you put it into historic and cultural context. Before a Godzilla movie was just a monster movie with silly, poorly choreographed fight scenes and fucked up japanese sci-fi/fantasy characteristics, the original Gojira was intended as a horror film designed to play on the inherent nuclear fears of Japanese society.
It gets a hell of a lot scarier when you watch it while keeping Hiroshima and Nagasaki in mind. Pretty serious business when an entire genre of movies (large monster attacks X city) is derived from and a product of a truely horrifying event in human history. Godzilla - Frankenstein's Monster of the Nuclear Age.

Love that movie so much.

Cool Hand Luke was also good.

Man, Resident Evil: Afterlife made zero sense. The intro served nothing, but to basically get rid of all the crazy shit of the past two movies, so that the rest of the plot could work, but then they introduced stuff that made even less sense, such as suddenly introducing the parasite of Resident Evil 4...but not talking about it at all. No plot points, no breaking into a lab to figure things out, not even random exposition from Wesker about what he did...Just..."Hey...There are even crazier monsters now cause we have apparent access to their designs! Enjoy!"
As someone that got a kick out of the last three movies, as stupid and poorly done as they were, this was just a terrible flick. Ungodly amounts of slow motion, crap plot, stupid convenient things (Really gonna introduce Chris like that? He's one of the last survivors in the world, held in a prison, that Alice and Claire just happen to find for no apparent reason other than they were deciding to head down that way by coincidence? That's so far fetched, it's probably the least believable thing in the movie). Sure a couple moments were dumb fun, but you could easily have cut this movie down by 20 minutes by removing most of the slow motion and not too mention, Wesker gets done in like a bitch. He can dodge bullets, but he can't out maneuver a knife to the face or a slow moving shotgun pointed to the mouth? Fuck...Just crap!

The Town was pretty good. The bank heist scenes were awesome, while the non-heist scenes (aka the rest of the movie) got a little boring at times.

Let Me In comes out in 2 weeks, wonder if it will live up to the original?
Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 09-21-2010
Ben-Hur was incredible.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was awesome. My soft spot for westerns has been greatly justified.

There is an asian remake that is supposed to be pretty decent.
