I thoroughly enjoyed Hunger Games but then again Battle Royale is among my most re-watchable flims. I love the dog eat dog theme. Its a great canvas for rapid character development.

Re: What Movies are you watching?

Straight out of Malloy's Top 25 Favorite Films. Don't expect to see this one breaking into my list any time soon. I don't love when main characters are psychologists/psychiatrists/whatever. It feels like begging for critical psychoanalysis, a cheap way to make the film seem deeper than it might actually be. Not that this specific movie is especially shallow, just that it doesn't quite reach the psychological/emotional depths that it wants to.
Please consider voting for me

Ordinary People relies heavily around a psychiatrist's words, but that movie works because of how smart the relationships are between the characters (like Good Will Hunting). You can make it work. Man, I love that movie. People have labled it as the movie that should have lost to Raging Bull at the Oscars, but if you strip that away it's a fine, well acted film.

Man of Thai Chi, the Keanu Reeves action flick. Hilariously bad.

Some okay fight sequences but I wouldn't call it fun. Also, Keanu seems to be parodying his already underwhelming self.

That was here a week ago. Almost saw it. I do love me some Tom Hanks, but it doesn't look that great. Doesn't help that the real life crew says its bullshit.theplatypus wrote:Watch the better version.BurtReynolds wrote:anybody seen Captain Phillips? might see it.

I mean, I know it's Fred Krueger & all, but Nightmare on Elm Street parts 4 & 5 feature some of the most morbid shit I've ever seen.

I love both of them. I am a big fan of the whole series, and those two along with part 3 are amazing.Harry Lime wrote:I mean, I know it's Fred Krueger & all, but Nightmare on Elm Street parts 4 & 5 feature some of the most morbid shit I've ever seen.
Wont forget Patricia Arquette and Lisa Wilcox ever.
Just saw Blue Jasmine, the latest from Woody Allen. Its pretty good, i didnt expect something so dark from him again.
Cate Blanchette deserves an oscar..and Andrew Dice Clay is pretty good too. There is a moment in the movie with him thats priceless...i was disappointed to see Louie CK got a small part tough.
Also, The Way Way Back. Boring and predictable, full of dull moments and a bored cast. Garbage.

Have you seen any of the Hellraiser movies? I haven't. I could go for a hellraiser marathon one of these nights.

I saw the first 4 movies. The first part is a classic, Clive Barker at his finest...and Doug Bradley too.Harry Lime wrote:VinylGuy wrote:I love both of them.

The second is ok, the third is boring and the fourth one should have been great, but had a lot of problems during production and its final result is a mess.
