It is always a fun ride. I love this movie. It is quick, it is witty, the actors are top notch (Hoffman was nominated for an Oscar, De Niro and Ann Heche could also have been nominated) and Mamet worked on the script. One of my favorite movie about politics. It is really well done. rosespower 08-15-2011, 09:56 AM shutter island- a good leo di caprio movie alfonsojose 08-15-2011, 03:46 PM Super 8.

Brad Pitt is underrated as an actor. Oh c'mon man, he SO isn't underrated, especially in that movie. Freeman brings the usual gravitas, Spacey is as compelling as always (one of my favorite actors), but Pitt overacts like an amateur. ;) He's funny as hell in Snatch, though. Nevertheless, as far as "Hollywood Heartthrobs" go, if you want one that can actually act, stick to Leo. Guy's got game. :) Pitt belongs in high-budget soaps. Seingeist 08-16-2011, 10:28 PM Oh, and recent for me was Winnie the Pooh. http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt111/andrewauld1/new-winnie-the-pooh-movie-poster.jpg Good stuff. :yeah: Charmingly retro story, and the art style was fantastic.

I agree though, it is a really decent movie. Casey Affleck is an extraordinary actor. He's really terrific in everything he's in. Crying shame that he's not in a lot more movies. Pacing of the movie seemed a bit plodding at times, but it was well acted and directed.\ I saw: http://horrorsnotdead.com/images/thestrangers_large.jpg A bit silly, like a lot of horror films, but the suspense was taut and it was satisfyingly creepy. jonathancrane 08-20-2011, 02:13 PM http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R_6_b0fiF88/Ti4k-eLy4mI/AAAAAAAAARM/82E7P6WfWw4/s1600/super-8-poster.jpg So-so, ET + Cloverfield Marto 08-20-2011, 02:31 PM Friends with benefits :) Ivanatis 08-20-2011, 04:08 PM http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8FjU5qgoijM/TR4my5RbcnI/AAAAAAAAASI/5IRP88nG0_U/s1600/IndianRunner.jpg Has not aged well David Morse:worship: http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjE4NTUwMzcwN15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzI0NjAyMQ@@._ V1._SY317_CR4,0,214,317_.jpg BigJohn 08-20-2011, 04:51 PM The Royal Tenenbaums http://img.movieberry.com/static/photos/16289/poster.jpg Superb cast on top of their game: the Wilson brothers, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Danny Glover, Anjelica Huston, plus the great Gene Hackman and Bill Murray.

Overall it wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy it much. I don't like westerns and I only went to the cinema because I saw the trailer and in the IMAX it really looked cool. But just like in District 9 I kept wondering why were aliens portrayed like some illiterate savages. One would expect a civilization smart and technologically advanced enough to build such space ships would at least have a coherent speech and not just some growls. There were other things that bothered me but I better don't get into details and be picky. Daniel Craig was cool, Harrison Ford - good but very old already for action like that and Olivia Wilde - well, she was beautiful. All in all I don't regret watching it.

A sweet and touching film, doesn't deserve the negative reactions it has been getting. As usual he captures youth so well. Mia Wasikowska is the stand out, very impressed with her in The Kids Are All Right and she was brilliant in In Treatment. Henry Hopper looks very much like his father.

It was a lot of fun, much better than Indy 4. It looks great, the 3D is used well, not too intrusive (though this is only the second 3D film I've seen).

Ivanatis 11-08-2011, 02:22 AM guess I'll give it a pass then, Craig would really be the only reason to watch (in theatre) for me: http://nfo.raidrush.ws/media/cover/15871.jpg and looking forward to A Dangerous Method on the weekend:dance: jonathancrane 11-08-2011, 06:24 AM Some De Palma movies during the weekend: Body Double, Obsession & Dressed To Kill (my fave) hat__boy 11-09-2011, 03:29 PM and looking forward to A Dangerous Method on the weekend:dance: I have to wait until February :mad: Mae 11-09-2011, 06:43 PM I honestly can't remember :confused: Dini 11-09-2011, 06:51 PM Since the last update..

I watched Casino by Scorsese. No idea how could I avoided it for such a long time. Very good film however I found DeNiro a bit boring as he is almost always the same. Sharon Stone is natural and fantastic and real. Joe Pesci is also realistic. Don Rickles is great as the director of the casino. hat__boy 11-10-2011, 12:04 PM :hug: you guys get Breaking Dawn a week earlier as compensation :lol: Adding insult to injury. jonathancrane 11-11-2011, 07:01 AM After almost a decade a watched Femme Fatale (Brian De Palma) again.

(1968) Interesting film but has too much of Fellini's powerful style and it's bad for a short film like this. The main character's actor is a bit irritating but the costumes, lights,cinematography are the true positives in this film. Mae 11-16-2011, 10:01 PM I just watched a movie the other night called Strange Days and it was a strange movie. It was made in 1999 and it was about the New Year's Eve coming up in 2000.

Woody doing Bergman, very similar to Wild Strawberries. hat__boy 11-28-2011, 03:37 PM Moneyball. Pitt continues on his good streak. As I posted, I saw Warrior a few days ago which was a typical, yet enjoyable, sports movie. This though is just a completely different take on the genre. We don't really get to know any players or watch any tense matches unfold, just one match is focused on significantly. This is all about the inner workings of money and trades in baseball, and while I know nothing about baseball I thoroughly enjoyed it as the same problems effect, for instance, soccer. My one qualm was that PSH was underused. RIboy 11-28-2011, 03:56 PM 12 angry men....a classic jonathancrane 11-29-2011, 02:58 PM Saw 'Drive' last night and I must confess that I'm really impressed. This is maybe the best movie I've watched this year. Gosling (an actor who never caught my attention until now) is INMENSE here, Carey & the rest of the cast are ideal too. Some influences from Melville's movies, some others from 'Shane', some touchs from Bronsons' & Eastwood 70's thrillers are there too. The lights, the camera angles, the music (retro -techno), the use of the silence and of course the fucking scorpio jacket makes this film a classic movie. I'm still in shock.

Olsen and Hawkes are very good and the film has some very haunting and unsettling moments. The deliberate pacing, the silence, I thought I would love this and thinking about it now I don't know why I didn't, maybe just not in the right mood. I almost feel it wasn't the sum of its parts.

But still i don't think it is that reasonable the main actress comes back to the main actor after such "rude" sex :scratch: Here is my interpretation. Note spoilers below. I am going to write in small, light colored font in case anyone wants to watch the movie. So please ignore this post. The lead guy is an extremely lonely man. He spends his days interrogating people and beating them to death. The only way he feels alive is when he is hated. He tells her as much when he meets her after the first "****". And it is not like she goes back to him willingly. Her whole life has been empty, her previous efforts wasted and the only thing she has to keep her going is her "mission". That's why she agrees to go back to him. But gradually, even such a brutal man finally and painfully and slowly softens and begins to trust the girl. The sign of that is when he offers her the jewelry. At that point, the girl discovers that the man is human and is capable of love afterall. Their conversation in the Japanese quarters is hugely revealing when he claps like a child after she sings. That is why she takes the decision in the jewelry store despite knowing what it will bring her. Imo, she is finally at peace after that moment. tripwires 12-13-2011, 01:28 PM 50/50 - surprisingly really good. That said, Seth Rogen is SO one-note, obnoxious and annoying. jonathancrane 12-13-2011, 08:42 PM The Hit (S.Frears) Terence Stamp, John Hurt, Tim Roth (his debut on the big screen). Only saw it once back in the 90s on TV, now finally catch the criterion edition and watched it no dubbed. Memorable movie, filmed mainly on Spain. Mimi 12-14-2011, 01:46 AM Here is my interpretation. Note spoilers below. I am going to write in small, light colored font in case anyone wants to watch the movie. So please ignore this post. The lead guy is an extremely lonely man. He spends his days interrogating people and beating them to death. The only way he feels alive is when he is hated. He tells her as much when he meets her after the first "****". And it is not like she goes back to him willingly. Her whole life has been empty, her previous efforts wasted and the only thing she has to keep her going is her "mission". That's why she agrees to go back to him. But gradually, even such a brutal man finally and painfully and slowly softens and begins to trust the girl. The sign of that is when he offers her the jewelry. At that point, the girl discovers that the man is human and is capable of love afterall. Their conversation in the Japanese quarters is hugely revealing when he claps like a child after she sings. That is why she takes the decision in the jewelry store despite knowing what it will bring her. Imo, she is finally at peace after that moment. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Actually I understood what you mentioned, just that I find it not very reasonable that the man, knowing how he treated the girl in their first sexual encouter, would still expect the girl to come back to her (he clearly has a lot of interest on her, as evidenced by him not forgetting her after 3 years, so he must have wish her to continue staying with him). I mean, he could have treated her a little bit better, to give a better impresson for her so that she won't run away. And as for the girl, I mean a normal girl, if not for the mission, i don't think she would continue staying with him. And I still find it unreasonable that, even though the mission was being supported and covered by some secret society, a man with such powerful status and smart would be "cheated" by this girl, not having a little bit of suspicion as to whether she has a mission to destroy him :shrug: Mae 12-14-2011, 03:13 AM I've read spoilers and all and I still would like to see the movie! allpro 12-14-2011, 10:33 AM http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2039/thedescendantsmoviepost.jpg this overacted, overwrought script that goes nowhere nearly put me to sleep. there was no drama or tension and i felt no empathy for these characters. don't waste your money on this boring crap. 0 stars. tennizen 12-14-2011, 01:42 PM Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I mean, he could have treated her a little bit better, to give a better impresson for her so that she won't run away. I am not sure we are speaking of the same timeline. She goes back to him after 3 years. He recognizes her and he is actually lusting after her all this time. My guess is that he is very suspicious of her initially. But his lust is greater than the suspicion. His first mistreatment of her( This is after 3 years) also comes partly from the suspicion apart from everything else. Once that happens she plans to leave but is not sure what to do. When she is getting ready to leave (after 4 days or so) he asks her if she hates him and she replies yes. She doesn't have a chance to leave at that point. And things things evolve the way they do with the first scene of the movie taking place after one year of their being together. By this time, he has begun to trust her and even love her. And I still find it unreasonable that, even though the mission was being supported and covered by some secret society, a man with such powerful status and smart would be "cheated" by this girl, not having a little bit of suspicion as to whether she has a mission to destroy him :shrug:He does suspect her most of the time I think but his other emotions take over. I read that much of it was actually based on a real life incident so maybe such things happen. hat__boy 12-14-2011, 03:26 PM The Dreamers. jonathancrane 12-16-2011, 10:56 AM Heat & Collateral (M.Mann) Ivanatis 12-17-2011, 08:07 PM The Dreamers. makes you want to http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af67/15crewdawg/running-smiley.gif through Louvre http://www.filmplakate-shop.info/images/produkte/icon/CapeFearPosterNr243090.jpg still one of my fav remakes, although I wish Marty would have gone even a step further away from the original with an alternate (i.e. non-happy) ending and the camera closing in on Cady's hate-ridden face darkening into the closing credits tennizen 12-18-2011, 12:16 AM The Descendents.

I guess I need to watch Bande a Parte now. Rewatched Cape Fear a few months back. Still my least favourite Scorsese/DeNiro collaboration, though it was less camp than I remembered it to be. Hope they get around to The Irishman, or anything. Marty has been attatched to a lot of new projects recently, none of them sounding too interesting. Hopefully he gets to Silence next then The Irishman. hat__boy 12-18-2011, 03:23 PM Affliction. Very good performance from Nolte. hat__boy 12-20-2011, 05:34 PM Black Book. An absurd, trashy, yet gripping and very enjoyable film. The Hit. This one did not go the way I was expecting, a nice suprise. Tim Roth steals the show, reminded me of Day-Lewis. It seems Frears is going to be remaking it. jonathancrane 12-22-2011, 09:46 AM Firefox (C.Eastwood) Chirag 12-22-2011, 11:45 AM casablanca :worship: allpro 12-22-2011, 10:31 PM The Descendents.

After The Hobbit trailer I felt it was time for a rewatch, it has been about 8 years since I've seen any of these and longer since I've read them. This one was my favourite, sadly it was not as good as I remembered. The pacing was just awkward, from one set piece/obstacle to the next and all the dialogue was exposition (an inherent weakness sure, but it was so clunky at times). Still an ejoyabale ride and some great individual moments but it felt a little too much like a list being checked off. Maybe the extended edition corrects these problems, holding off on watching the other two until I can get them. The Believer. An interesting film, shares similarities with American History X. Gosling is good as a self loathing Jew turned neo Nazi. hat__boy 12-24-2011, 10:56 AM Broadway Danny Rose. Continuing to slowly make my way through his filmography, this is another wonderful film from Woody, some hilarious moments. Tina: They shot him in the eyes. Danny: He's blind? Tina: No, you idiot. He's dead. Danny: Oh, right. Because the bullets go right through ... Danny: My rabbi, Rabbi Perlstein, used to say we are all guilty in the eyes of God. Tina: You believe in God? Danny: No, but I'm guilty over it. :lol: Mae 12-24-2011, 12:44 PM Deception Chirag 12-24-2011, 01:16 PM The Fellowship of the Ring.

I think everyone knows that one. Harmless 12-27-2011, 07:22 PM Contagion. I really enjoyed it, unexpectedly. 7/10 Also, Drive. I do not get the fuss about this film at all. Thought C. Mulligan was totally miscast, Gosling was trying too hard to be De Niro (in Taxi Driver esp.), hated the soundtrack, profoundly, and the screenplay was full of holes I couldn't overlook. The film is obviously very, very well made, I see the craft in it, it's great, but the first five minutes were fantastic and then I felt very disappointed later. 4/10, basically only for the action scenes. tripwires 12-28-2011, 06:35 AM Contagion.

I think I just expected too much and focused too much on the negatives as a result. It still has points to watch it for. Carey M. is ok but just doesn't fit in the whole story. She always plays the same "cute, blonde, repressed" type, if they'd just scratched one of those 3, it might have worked.
