The Movie Thread

[zaneyard]

I just watched a film called Cashback

it was absolutely fucking amazing

however, not the best movie to watch when you're having issues with depression

Saw Conan the Barbarian today.

Plot: Sucked; Acting: Sucked; Pacing: Sucked; Action? BY CROM IT WAS GLORIOUS

Don't knock my boy Jason Momoa. He's the only reason I even want to see the movie.

Evil Dead 2 was a lot of fun. I'm still not quite sure if it was an intentional horror-comedy or if it was accidentally played out like an action film. Either way, it was great!

Intentional horror-comedy

I have Red State, will give impressions later.

Hoping for reasonably good things as I've been an active listener on Smodcast for awhile and have heard tons about it, more than probably any other movie I've seen before lol

Had myself a Tarantino marathon today. Inglourious Basterds is great as ever. Reservoir Dogs was amazing. Can't go wrong with Steve Buscemi and Tim Roth.

I rewatched From Dusk Till Dawn last night.  I think Quentin has a problem with being able to write just one movie sometimes.  From Dusk Till Dawn is like two separate movies, much like Inglorious Basterds.  Could easily split them apart for two entirely separate flicks.  Heck, you could remove the Inglorious Basterds from the movie and it wouldn't change a thing with the story lol

On my flights to and from China, I've watched the following:

Rio - great movie, it's so adorable. I watched it twice on my flight.
Water for Elephants - I watched this without knowing that Robert Pattinson was in it(if I had know I might have not watched it LOL) but it was a very good movie and he did well as an actor.
Little Red Riding Hood - Mediocre, was watchable
Thor - pretty good but I wouldn't watch it a second time
Midnight in Paris - The first half of the movie was fantastic. I loved the plot. Unfortunately, I fell asleep for the second half so I couldn't tell you if it was good overall. I woke up during the credits LOL
Kung Fu Panda 2 - Not quite as good as Rio but still great. Very touching in some parts.
Arthur - Haha, what. This movie. But it's so funny.

Mind you, it's a Tarantino adaption of Robert Kurtzmans short story (he was one of the special effects artists from Evil Dead 2, went on to create K.N.B. EFX Group. The most successful set from the ED/AoD movies, more so then Sam Raimi). It was the first time someone paid Tarantino to write a screen play ($1,500).
Why anyone would cast Tarantino in a role in a movie is well beyond me.

[/quote]Just finished it and it's pretty good. Definitely way different than any movie he's ever done before.

Miyazaki time? I think I'll do maybe Porco Rosco or Princess Mononoke.  I forget if I own the second one, but I should.

thanks to the wonders of the modern world, i can download a film in less time than it takes for you to walk out your front door on the way to the electronics store.

Laputa: Castle in the Sky and My Neighbor Totoro are great ones.

Anyone see the new Conan yet? Worth seeing in theatres, or is it a total abomination?


Also, thoughts on Apollo 18?
