Movie Talk!!

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

The Prestige is the only Nolan film I haven't seen in full. I don't think I could make a Nolan tier list because just because he hasn't made a bad movie and putting any of his films as 'last' would be difficult.

 

[Roboturner]

I've had the prestige on my PC for about a year... I am going to watch it tonight.

I think David Fincher would be my favorite director

 

[Vinylic.]

Must see movies:
The girl with the dragon tatoo <-- By david fincher
Final Destination 5
Colombiana
50/50
Dream House
Don't be afraid of the dark


These movies have the highest rating of being watched.
There's also an action thriller starring justin timberlake. I'm not sure what it's called though.

 

[Mota]

Nolan is definitely an excellent director, need to see Momento, I can never find it at my DVD shop lol. Finch as well.

I'm kinda a Quentin Tarantino fanboy though lol
Of the ones I've seen, him as director
Pulp Fiction>Inglourious Basterds/Reservoir Dogs>Kill Bill 1>Kill Bill 2>Jackie Brown.

 

[Olikus]

saw 127 hours. Was worrired it should be long and boring. But it turned out great. One of the best films for 2010 imo.

 

[Vinylic.]

I just saw Rise of the planet of the apes.
Next up, Final Destination 5.

 

[Airgemini]

I plan on watching Final Destination 5 tomorrow. So excited. Love the series. The last installment was really bad though.

 

[Vinylic.]

That's why warner bros came to help out.

 

[Roboturner]

About to watch the Lincoln Lawyer, heard it was decent.

 

[Peeze]

Actually really really liked planet of the apes.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Skyline 2010

it sucked, but not as bad as I expected it to. Don't get me wrong, it's still a pretty bad movie but I was expecting a complete disaster.

2.5/5

 

[Peeze]

The scene is rise of the planet of the apes where

Spoiler

cesar says NO!!!

the entire audience gasped in a kinda stunned way.

I stood up in my chair and was about to say "**** YEAH."
Then someone already did it.

....

"SHHYEEEAAH".

Just got back from watching Final Destination 5.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. Notches better than the fourth. Although, I thought that the opening credits to it were bad and very lackluster compared to the fourth.

My favorite death was

Spoiler

the first with the gymnast. It was very suspenseful with all that I thought was going to potentially happen to her.

The ending was magnificent. Probably my favorite part of the whole movie.

Spoiler

Them incorporating the film with the first movie's premonition incident was extremely well thought out and very shocking. I was curious about the date of the movie initially when they showed the gymnast looking at the champion poster and the date on it was 1994. But I shrugged it off as something else. But them having the movie set before the first and incorporate it with the plane was very original and very different from the other installments.

Spoiler

The whole concept of "taking someone's life" I thought was interesting. They didn't exactly make it clear or not if it's any effective.

Spoiler

Oh, and I thought it was very interesting that the person having the premonition actually died before someone else (his girlfriend) that was involved with the whole accident. It was a first and brought a lot of questionable possibilities to the ending through my mind.

 

[Vinylic.]

Movies like these don't need spoilers lol.

 

[Airgemini]

This one is slightly different, actually.

I wouldn't recommend going over the shaded text unless you don't want to be surprised.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

If you like Memento I would recommend The Game.

We can't watch the game.

Most of us just lost it. -_-

 

[Mota]

Finally got round to watching 'Leon: The Professional'

Loved the performances of both the leads, Jean Reno and of course the young Natalie Portman. The relationship between the two was mesmerizing to watch.
One of my fave movies already XD

 

[Vinylic.]

Who's gonna watch Bucky Larson?

It's in the top 3 movies for sure, the ending gets me every time

 

[Mach Rider]

The last movie that I watched was True Grit. I thought it was above average, well acted, carried on nicely, and at times, oddly comedic. I tend to avoid westerns but I think that this one has something for modern audiences which is a plus.

As for a movie I'm looking forward to, In Time with Justin Timberlake. From the looks of it, I think that it will be one of those smart and original thrillers that only comes along every so often throughout the years. It could be the Inception of this year, and the Minority Report of this decade.

Favorite movies. Tron/Tron:Legacy. The Dark Knight, Star Wars of course.

 

[Mota]

I'm on a gosh darn movie spree. Need to focus on my studies more oh well.

Heard a lot of good things about "Moon" starring Sam Rockbell.
Very intriguing movie with a mindfudging twisty thingo. Loved it. 9/10 a bit slow after the a while though.

Kinda wanted Gerty to have a female voice though...GLaDOS?

GERTY is a reference to HAL9000 from 2001. I imagine that's the main reason they chose a male voice.

 

[Mota]

Hmm interesting, fair enough

Yes, saw the trailer for In Time, awesome concept. Would really make the divisions between the socioeconomic classes unavoidable. Def want to see it.
Don't hate or love justin timberlake.

 

[Peeze]

^I think its gonna blow and i'm sad cause the concept is fresh in an time when we keep getting reboots, sequels and remakes.

 

[Vinylic.]

The Thing.

This is the mother of all horror movies in my opinion.

And don't be afraid of the dark is coming out on Aug 26. That's my birthdate!

 

[Mota]

Sadly I agree with you. Keep duh faith!

I knew I was going to enjoy "Friends with Benefits" Starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, but I didn't know I was gonna enjoy it that much!
Great movie, even though you know what's gonna happen, it strays enough. Very witty and funny, had the whole cinema laughing, with one lady being very loud. As much as I love Natalie Portman, her version "No String Attached" with Ashton Kutcher, wasn't as funny, but had more memorable moments.

Gonna go watch "Shawshank Redemption" for the hell of it

 

[Pluvia]

So I just watched Source Code and I enjoyed it. I was almost turned off when I noticed it had the director of Moon but luckily it was nothing like that film.

I wouldn't tell you to dash out and buy it but definately rent it if you want a sci-fi thriller to watch one night. It's not going to rock anyones world but it was definately satisfying to watch, plus both plot threads keep you guessing on what's actually happening for the first half of the film, and it keeps up the pace seeing as though he only has 8 minutes to figure out what's going on every time.

 

[Gatlin]

So I just watched Source Code and I enjoyed it.

So strange, I just came here to post that haha.

Also watched "Unthinkable", which was a really good psychological thriller, highly recommend it.

I thought it was alright. I agree there was nothing extraordinary about it. But it would suffice if you needed something to watch

 

[Mota]

I really liked Source code until the ending. Taking over another persons life, friends, family and body, what's with that?

I was almost turned off when I noticed it had the director of Moon but luckily it was nothing like that film.

U no liek Moon? :/

 

[Pluvia]

Nah, too slow and predictable. As soon as

Spoiler

the 2nd one woke and GERTY made up some story you could connect the dots. The little town being worked on previously, him getting ill just before going home, the new one having no memory, the flash of an earlier Sam on the harvester screen. By that stage we knew about all of that yet the film takes an hour to connect those dots when you already have and it only took you 5 minutes. You expect GERTY to do something, or the people arriving to do something, but GERTY doesn't do anything and the people arrive in the last 20 seconds.

 

[Vinylic.]

I have puppet master.

 

[M@v]

So yeah, The dark knight rises has been filming around town here for a while now. Been filming all over pittsburgh. Our mayor and some pittsburgh steelers are extras in it

 

[Pluvia]

Brad Pitt is in Glasgow filming World War Z right now.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Uhhh, Conan the Barbarian looks WAY more awesome than it should.

[Vinylic.]

In Time looks good. I'll take a look at this one.


Also, Battleship, A movie based on the game, will be released 2012.

 

[SangfroidWarrior]

What's the last movie you saw?
The last movie I saw in theaters was Fast Five. It was pretty good but it's not my style of movies. My brother dragged me along. Although, I think it would have to be the best out of the series, right after the first one that is. The last I've most recently seen was The Crazies. It wasn't bad but it was like all of the other post-apocalyptic/zombie movies out there. There were some creepy parts in it but I don't think I was actually scared at all. So, it defeated the purpose.
What movies are you excited for?
I'm not excited for anything really. I mostly like older movies. The new ones just seem like re-makes of old stuff.
Your favorites?
Sleepy Hollow, because just the concept of the story intruiged me; Iron Man, although I am sad to admit that I've never read any of the comics; Star Wars, especially the old ones; Paranormal Activity because it was one of the few scary movies to freak me out; I Am Legend, again because of the concept and the way things were carried out; and 1408 which was just mindblowing in itself.

If anyone has a really good horror movie they've seen I'm open to recommendations (please, I'm actually begging, haven't seen a really good one in a while).

 

[Vinylic.]

There's Final Destination 5.
The ending may shock you.

Any genres other than horror you're looking for?
