since you enjoyed my previous movie thread so much i made another one. if you missed the first one then go find it in my blog, its epic.
cutting moments
old "cult" horror flick, consists of about 6 stylised short stories in a style similar to Sin City. probably awesome for its time.
eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
a guy has a procedure to wipe his memories of his ex-lover, but starts regretting the decision during the procedure as he relives the memories. eh, i didnt like this movie one bit (everyone else ADORES it). what was so good about it? unlikeable characters, unlikeable events...shrug. got 8.5 on imdb.
seven pounds
this is about a man with authority and power who goes around "doing good" for people. it has a big twist/hidden secret and is quite sad (women would cry to it). go get it.
mr brooks
this is about a top business owner who likes to murder people as his secret lonesome hobby (a tad like dexter). this wasnt so interesting but had a nice dark smooth style so you'll easily find it enjoyable.
running scared
this is about a man who has his gun stolen by a kid and he needs to get it back before the police find it and can incriminate him for other crimes. felt a bit like a TV action movie to me (ie i wasnt impressed) but was definately above average as far as tv action movies go. watch if you like gangsta/thriller stuff.
sex is zero
cool korean movie with wacky sex comedy. great for getting drunk to if u like that kinda thing.
date night
a normal man and wife go out one night and end up in a silly dilemma with the mob. made for dumb american women but starring the guy from the office (US) and manages to be entertaining all the way through (barring some grating dialogue/arguements).
brooklyns finest
follows a handful of cops and gangstas within the same neighbourhood. started slow for me but i atually got into it and some decent suspense and events in the second half. watch if you like cops and gansta movies, obv.
the secret
documentary (ah ha) about a baseless belief that we attract things into our lives by the power of thought/brain electricity. turned it off after 15 minutes. can you say "confirmation bias"?
ikigami
japanese movie set in a world where the government forces random people to die every day, with the intention of encouraging everyone to live life to the fullest because they could be next. felt like a cross between logan's run and battle royale. okay this was fantastic, i cried like twice. you have GOT to get this movie.
the good, the bad and the weird
a "western" gunslinger movie set in korea (i think). basically one wacky guy steals a treasure map and goes on the run against two different gangs, a hitman and the japanese army. started off slow for me but became entertaining (1 guy VS the world).
hot tub time machine
utter crap. "teen" comedy which stars adults (so you think it might be decent) but hasnt a single funny moment in the entire show. really really a waste of time.
bottle rocket
owen wilsons first movie (?) about three dumb guys who rob a store then go stay in a hotel for a while to avoid the police (??). overall this was entertaining but nothing special (like Date Night). the movie cost 5mil but only made 1 mil apparently, which is a shame considering.
cashback
an unlikeable emo dweeb whines for 1hr30 but still ends up with a girl and an amazing job. what the fuck? who the fuck wrote this bullshit? okay it was some guy calld "sean ellis". I HATE SEAN ELLIS. this film is more sickeningly emo than twilight 2. the monologues are monsterous. they took a cool concept like "i can freeze time and therefore undress women without them knowing" and just shovelled tons and TONS of BULLSHIT on top of it. god i hate this movie. watch this muted because itd actually be good then (you can make up your own story and dialogue). ITS SO FUCKING BAD and yet still got 7.5/10?????????? are you fucking kidding me. twighlight new moon was the worst film ive seen in 2+ years but id rate it higher than this just out of spite.
i heart huckabees
wow. okay, its a comedy (?) about a couple of guys who employ "existentialist" thinkers to analyse and offer advice to their lives. now i just glanced at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism#Concepts
and i think the movie goes over all of those concepts. im not sure. i really dont know. i will watch this again but for now give it a 9/10. go watch this!
he was a quiet man
oh man, this was good too. a weedy, bullied office worker goes into work with a gun, intending to kill his asshole workmates then shoot himself. BIG TWIST!!!! followed by...BIGGER TWIST!!!! followed by .......BIGGGGGER TWIIIIISSSSST!!!! (if you're dumb as hell like me, that is). pay attention to the weird stuff in this movie. im sure figuring it out whilst you're watching is much more gratifying than having to read about it afterwards in the imdb FAQ  *sobs*
summary:
MUST WATCH
he was a quiet man
ikigami
i heart huckabees

agree with "hot tub time machine" its fucking tripe
i quite enjoyed "COP OUT" with bruce willis and the black guy from 30 rock (who plays exactly the same character) but its fairly decent. |

Just watched 'he was a quiet man'. I really liked the movie, got my attention. I missed the 'BIG TWIST!!!! followed by...BIGGER TWIST!!!! followed by .......BIGGGGGER TWIIIIISSSSST' part, only big twist is the plot so don't see were you get 3 big twists.
Anyway, figured it out pretty soon, but i still liked the movie and read the imdb faq to get some more deeper information (which made the movie even better, knowing everything, obv missed some stuff).
nah, really really good movie, ty. Hope you didnt have a feeling after the movie like 'wow I don't get it', because it wasn't that hard  Might watch it again some day, not much movies on that list.
oh, and I also liked eternal sunshine... |

It was weird.. this one quotefrom it got stuck in my head tho.. "blessed are the forgotten for they get better of even their mistakes???" or something like that. Pretty sure it was by Niche. |
