yes....it's what it sounds like. Zombies attack a camp for mentally challenged folk.



kinda funny and as expected......not very PC

i'm gonna track this one down asap.







last seen ..

the second garfield movie - whatever the hell it was - the one in england.

i fell asleep - not even the beautiful and sadly underapreciated Jennifer Love Hewitt could keep me a wake for this one.

Revolutionary Road - Wow, did this movie make me angry, but in good way. So relatable and real. A very poignant film.

You think? I mean, it's a great movie for sure. But how about 2001: A Space Odyssey? A Clockwork Orange? Dr. Strangelove?

Its a really, really wonderful flick. Exquisite, brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to last.

I am one who thinks 2001 is a bit overrated and over-hyped. This one is definitely above that.

As regards the other two, maybe on par or just below A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory (which is undoubtedly the best take on anti-war I ve seen, ever) and definitely a big notch below Dr Strangelove, which I consider to be the best Kubrick has ever done.

This would be my Kubrick preference chart :-

Dr Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange
Paths of Glory
The Killing
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Barry Lyndon
2001 A Space Odyssey

...in that order.

The rest of his flicks come below all those.

I've never really got 2001.

[alkytrio666]

2001: A Space Odyssey is better enoyed if you give up trying to "get" it. It is what it is, and that's part of why Kubrick was so concrete about keeping any of his personal beliefs on its meaning to himself. It is the most beautiful marriage of images and music ever put to celluloid; it is an odyssey of sight and sound meant to provoke curiosity and wonder. It is a statement of the infinity not only of film but also of human advancement. Trying to grasp any kind of firm judgement of its meaning will only give you a migrain; instead, let yourself be taken by it and see where you get.

Now, I'm not saying "you're wrong" or "I'm right", I'm just suggesting another viewing with a different train of thought.

------------------

Doubt (2008)

A film which is what it is because of several dynamite performances. Though the execution is a little light, the story plays out with muscle as it weaves from one big scene to the next, intricately building character tension but never (and this is important) assuring its audience in any direction. Philip Seymour Hoffman is brutally human, and the innocence of Amy Adams' character is honest, but the real star of the film is Meryl Streep; she is a weak and troubled character, so much so that watching her is scary, and sometimes shameful. This is a chilling performance, and one of the year's very best.

I had the GREAT fortune of seeing 2001 in its initial release in one of the country's tru Cinerama theatres on a near 180 degree screen. TWICE. Visually stunning is an understatement. It was mindblowing. It's the only way to really see that movie.

Memento

First time, finally. Worth however long I waited for whatever reason I did. One of the two movies I've watched recently that made my jaw drop (the other was the closet scene in Burn After Reading.) I really can't wait to watch it again, even though I know how it ends, erm... starts.

Its a gorgeous flick alright. Some of the cinematography is absolutely stunning and lingers in the mind long after the flick is over. Unlike Ferret, I liked it for the way Kubrick presented his vision - but I didnt really enjoy it as much as Dr Strangelove or Paths of Glory, or even The Killing.

You can say its a 8.8/10 flick for me, when compared to a 9.8 (Dr Strangelove), 9.6 (Paths of Glory) and 9.5 (for both A Clockwork Orange/The Killing).

I saw it once..I think that was years ago. You gave me a good reminder for another viewing that I have been thinking for last couple of months.:)
Moreover, recently an Indian action film (Ghajini (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1166100/)) also somewhat reminds me about Memento.:rolleyes: :D

I have seen The Killing but 9.5 I think is bit overrating. I think a 8/10 is fair enough grade for it in compare to the uniqueness, depth and presentation of the stories and making parts of Kubric's others that you mentioned.

"Return To House ON Haunted Hill" (2007)

A straight to DVD sequel to a remake. Utterly ridiculous. Terrible story and not a scare anywhere in the movie. It is better acted than most Straight To DVD movies. but that's not saying much. Don't waste your time on this one.

I thought it was ASS.
After Whalberg being in the much better SHOOTER, I expected more.
How they managed to emulate the LOOK of the game so well without any atmosphere is beyond me.
...and I found the bullettime scenes STUPID.
And where's the cool music gone?
A little girl to play a woman.
...and NO FUCKING "THE BASEBALL BAT" scene.
Seriously, PAYBACK did Max Payne better.

[The_Return]

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

Impressive, but not as good as everyone says. I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't really call it the best sci-fi movie of all time. Well written and acted, with a great score...but severely lacking in the plot department.

I'm sure it's still 10 million times better than the Keanu version...blech.


You Can't Take It with You

Frank Capra can NEVER disappoint. At first glance, this one seems a bit weak compared to masterpieces like It Happened One Night or It's A Wonderful Life, but once it gets going it turns out to be one of Capra's funniest films, not to mention incredibly touching.

The cast is perfect...Lionel Barrymore is at the top of his game, I don't think I've ever seen him give a better performance. Jean Artur is adorable as always...Jimmy Stewart doesn't really get a lot to do until near the end, but he's wonderful too. And the entire supporting cast is a riot.

If you're looking for a film that's just flat out fun - here you go. I can't see how anyone could possibly be upset after watching this one.

[fortunato]

Guy Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain! (2006)

Seriously! Has anyone seen this? I'm really smitten with it. It's my fourth time watching it in the past month or so.
It's such a horrifying, hyper-kinetic evocation of nostalgia, how childhood memories always seem to be remembered as grand adventures, and how disturbing, exciting, and dangerous it can be to dwell on and live by them. Of course, it's done with a flair for wild imagination and a profound inspiration from scratchy old silent (horror) films.

It's autobiographical in the same way that Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick is autobiographical.

[Geddy]

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) - 9.5/10.

Excellent psychological thriller. With the exception of a few issues with the music this film was near perfect.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179891/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/my_bloody_valentine_3d.jpg


Taken from my rant in the My Bloody Valentine thread...


WOW, what a ridiculous amount of fanboy fun!

Quite frankly - Best $24 I spent in the theater in a very very long time.


I can't believe you say gore is what movies need to get back too. Gore is what horror movies are about? Dude are you serious? All the horror movies lately are all gore and no plot or originality. This is what horror has come to; gore, nudity, and cheap CGI scares.

What amazes me is how people say they liked the script and acting. The acting is some of the worst acting I've ever seen. And I loved how every time the killer is chasing someone they fall down, literally every time. The script was your basic slasher script, nothing original. Throughout the whole movie it's just scenes of oh...heres the killer chasing some dumbass who trips over everything, screaming while the killer is in her face and doesn't even attempt to get away. Thats all the movie is, a bunch of random death scenes. Completely unoriginal movie.


My Bloody Valentine is a complete and utter homage to the 80s slasher film. The POINT of the gore is to emphasize and sensationalize an entire DECADE of horror that was obsessed with sex, blood, knives, and penetration. Each kill shot was composed BRILLIANTLY and giving nod to everything from Friday the 13th to Fulci's Zombie II.

Why is the script unoriginal and derivative? WHY do you have your pitiful fleeing victims repeatedly falling over themselves?! BECAUSE IT'S A PURPOSEFUL DERIVATION! My Bloody Valentine is spoofing the horror that came before, and EVEN spoofing splatter geniuses that came after! (I mean, part of the POINT of the splatterpunk genre is trying to one-up what came before you... Well, what better way to outdo your predecessors BUT DO IT IN 3D!!!!) Gratuitous? Superfluous? Unnecessary? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

And did my boyfriend and I love it??? - ABSOLUTELY!!!

While the casual (pedestrian) horror viewer might look at this film as complete and utter horror tripe, My Bloody Valentine is an intelligent esoteric nod to horror fanboys.

For fans of the genre - Absolutely go see this film.

It's a guilty pleasure BLAST!

Bigger Stronger Faster* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1151309/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/bigger-stronger-faster-post.jpg


Incredibly intriguing and well-done documentary about performance-enhancing drugs, their users (their families), and a retrospective of their place in society, sports, etc.

The documentary focuses on the concept of being "Bigger, Stronger, Faster," how sports heroes take steroids to become literal super heroes in our society and how their image effects the society that reveres them. It also has a personal touch where the director, Chris Bell, turns the camera on his own family and their steroid usage (but isn't self-indulgent). It's actually refreshing to see both the sweeping biography of steroids and its affect on culture and cut it with personal experience.

All and all a very well-done and fascinating documentary. I recommend it.

Ljuset håller mig sällskap (Light Keeps Me Company) (2000)

An engaging biography/documentary/retrospective about master cinematographer Sven Nykvist, by his son Carl-Gustav Nykvist. It features narration by the man himself, interviews with filmmakers and actors he worked with, and so on. If you have any interested whatsoever in the man who made Bergman's films look as good as they did, I'd recommend giving it a watch. It's only 70 minutes or so, anyway.

The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008)

>>: D

[alkytrio666]

Milk (2008) - 4.5/5

Gus Van Sant has done it; he's harnessed his passion for total creative control and intertwined it with absorbing story-telling, and the result is one of the finest pictures of the year. It must be said that Sean Penn's portrayal of Harvey Milk is flawless- he completely inhabits the man and his spirit. It isn't Penn carrying the film, though; the entire cast is phenominal, especially James Franco. This story is fantastically told via a breed of documentary and narrative style of cinema, and everything about it is not only accessable but totally human.

Black Christmas (1974) - 4.5/5

Scary as hell. This is a horror movie for adults; though it takes place at a sorority (which would now be cliche ground), it takes time to set up distinct characters and a uncomfortability around the house. Bob Clark never rushes the story, and it pays off; the last twenty minutes are some of the most frightening ever made. The most admirable thing about the film is its brave ending, one that does not go off with a bang but instead a cold shiver. Also, I could watch Olivia Hussey paint walls.

Three...Extremes (2005) 2.5/5

Sometimes interesting but never compelling, this anthology is a colaboration of three of Asia's most influential modern directors- which has me wondering why the stories were so bland and one-dimensional. This is all familiar ground; two of the three stories go for flat-out shock value, but unfortunately, when that layer is peeled off, there's nothing left. The tales do get better as they go along, and the stark imagery and creepy finale of Miike's tale leave a better taste in the mouth than the other two, but after the film is done it doesn't linger.

The Happening

it wasnt a 100% solid movie but it did have effective moments.

Mark W was weird though ... i dont think he has any range outside of a 'tough guy' as a teacher he just didnt click. The girl (Zooey) was just frigging weird for the most part as well. she played it like the character was nuts to begin with.

better than signs ... but miles below 6th sense and unbreakable

yep - i have Huckabees .. saw it ages ago - liked it - but i cant remember him being in it !


i think the movie was terribly cast - for what the director wanted out of them...
the events were unsettling enough - they didnt need distracting disjointed performances ... it took away from the film ...

Utterly breathtaking!

Philippe Petit has to be one of the most fascinating men I've ever seen...this documentary blew me away.

His story is mindblowing, uplifting and endlessly inspiring. The lengths that he went to in the name of art and to accomplish his dream are utterly astounding. When you compound that with the simple fact that HE WALKED BETWEEN THE TWIN TOWERS ON A FUCKING TIGHTROPE...goddamn!

I wouldn't really my call myself an expert on documentaries, but in my somewhat limited experience this has to be the single great doc that I've ever seen. If you're a fan of performance art or of great documentary filmmaking - see this, right now.

Man on Wire

Utterly breathtaking!

Philippe Petit has to be one of the most fascinating men I've ever seen...this documentary blew me away.

His story is mindblowing, uplifting and endlessly inspiring. The lengths that he went to in the name of art and to accomplish his dream are utterly astounding. When you compound that with the simple fact that HE WALKED BETWEEN THE TWIN TOWERS ON A FUCKING TIGHTROPE...goddamn!

I wouldn't really my call myself an expert on documentaries, but in my somewhat limited experience this has to be the single great doc that I've ever seen. If you're a fan of performance art or of great documentary filmmaking - see this, right now.

Ah! I've been waiting some time to see this.
Can't wait.

Two movies yesterday.

Stranger than fiction - I think this is easily WF's best film...not a whacky kind of comedy, hell I'm not even sure if the overall idea of this film WAS comedy...seemed to steer a lot towards drama, but in a good way. Had this whole melancholy type vibe to it I found, most of the characters seemed to have something missing in their lives, was a bit sad that way. But seriously, very good film...and I loved how it wrapped up, even though the "intended" finish never came to fruition. Great cast, and Hoffman as per usual killed without trying.

Phantasm 4.
So now I've seen them all over a couple months.
1 = good, 2 = better, probably my favourite, 3 = pretty fun and crazy still good even if not as much so as the second.
4...
Boring. Unresolved. I mean the one interesting part (the "past" tall man) wasn't even explored? Lets run away but talk about how it would've been a good idea to "change" him, then never do it?
Reg meets ANOTHER girl, another fucked up girl. sphere tits. wow.
I kind of expected it to pick up when I saw the multiple dimension gates, I saw possibilities to go throughout the timespan of the tallman to at very least get a complete idea of origin, but no...lets just blow a car up...
I'd still buy the box set, but this film is no good.
Here's hoping if the rumoured #5 ever happens they'll work hard to redeem things, and to actually get some kind've resolution.

[UngodlyWarlock]

Been watching these "Fear Itself" episodes on FEARnet....and actually enjoying them a bit more than Masters of Horror, actually.

It seems all the MoH are just about "Where can I put tits in here" and strange script choices that make me wonder what the hell the directors were thinking. I think Fear Itself comes off as a little more cohesive. I don't know if its just the scripts or if the casts are better or what.

So far I've watched the "Skin and Bones" one about the Wendigo...I was surprised that it actually had a couple chilling moments in it. Some bad acting here and there, but overall very entertaining.

Then I watched the "New Year's Day" about the zombie apocalypse. This one was rather irritating because Darren Lynn Bousman went a LITTLE bit TOO "Saw" with the directing. Lots of jittery shakey cam crap that was really distracting. The ending of the episode was kind of cool though.

Finally, I watched "Family Man" by Ronny Yu (and I actually enjoyed Bride of Chucky and FvJ...fun flicks). Probably the best one out of the 3, so far. The story was very "Tales from the Crypt-ish" and I liked that. Pretty bleak ending too, but not in that Wolf Creek kind of way that makes you sad....more in that "Ouch, that's pretty fucked up" kind of way.

Overall.....not bad! I'll definitely watch the rest.

Stand By Me (1986) - 9/10.

Excellent flick, and easily one of my favourite Stephen King adaptations.

[alkytrio666]

The Wrestler (2008) - 4.5/5

This is the kind of movie you could just keep on watching forever. The story- or, more appropriately, the experience- is so naturalistic in form and genuine in heart that there seems to be no barrier between this man, his demons, his passion and us. Indeed this is Mickey Rourke as he should have always been, and it's just as exhilerating to watch him ressurect his career as it is to watch Randy step into the ring. Arnofsky is invasive but not rough in his documentary-style look into this life, and there is something within the wrestler himself which always makes us feel like we should be there right beside him, through the rough times and the beautiful ones.

I saw Revolutionary Road again to make sure I wasn't crazy. Turns out I'm not. Still the best movie of 2008.

http://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/images/stills/m/mum_and_dad_2008_poster.jpg

Synopsis: When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner at the Heathrow airport, is befriended by Birdie & Elbie, her co-workers, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity. Imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors and designated a 'Mummy's Girl', Lena's only options appear to be to become part of the family - and join them in their insanity - or die.

A new entry to the British torture-survival horror genre which was about a sick family kind of the Hewitts form TCM. Not bad or not so good either. Worth a watch at least.

Another great Pacino performance in a very underlooked short film.

Amarcord (1973)

Wonderful, sprawling, carnival-like childhood reminiscence told through a series of episodes. Fellini remembers not in concrete memories, but more like caricatures of memories, making it fantastical and comical, and strangely engrossing.

[CrimsonFiend138]

My bro and I couldn't sleep so we watched(for the first time) all of the Sleepaway camps at about 6 A.M. Bro's BF has the survival camp boxset thing.

I liked all of them. The first one was fucking sweet and the shocker ending(I knew about it before I saw it so that was a bummer) but I wasn't prepared for such a creepy way of doing the ending.

The other ones weren't bad, I hated pamela Springsteen as Angela(just because I was used to Felissa Rose being Angela), but I still liked them. I had high hopes for Return to Sleepaway Camp because it was the original writer/director, Angela and Ricky and Ronnie but I was seriously let down. I felt bad for the outcast kid but at the same time I hated him. I still liked it though even though it sucked. All in all fun series, First one AWESOME, Recommend it to anyone that hasn't seen it.

My Bloody Valentine 3D.

Wow. Chrono and Des and everyone else were right with this one.
This is not only a nod to the slasher genre, but in essence is built around the draw of the exploitation films of the 60s and 70s, and even stuff like the "gimmicky" Castle films before that.

This is entertainment, for sure, in good horror spirit.

Repo the genetic opera

[missmacabre]

I didn't say much because there isn't much to say. I was disappointed. I heard "cult classic" and "rock opera genius" but it was none of those. The acting was terrible and the songs can hardly be called music. Spoken vocals with a few high points by Tony Head and Sarah Brightman.

Terrance Zdunich had the only role I enjoyed, but that's considering how many years he has been going the stage version. Bill Mosley was awful! Could have done a much, much better job had he added in a bit of the insanity from Ho1kC, and had a little less Chop Top.

The worst part is, I have to suffer through it again on Friday when I promised to watch with a friend of mine. We're big Rocky Horror fans and thought this would be right up your ally.

If you like Anthony Head even a little, see this movie for his voice but rent, don't buy!

Prom Night (2008)

So it starts with a horrible cover of a classic Zombies tune, bad omen that. But there were no paralels between this and the origanal Prom Night, this was a stand alone movie. It's a pretty average slasher though. And where was the blood, if people are getting stabed 5 or 6 times there should be more blood than when I cut myself shaveing.

Not something to go out of your way to see, but not something to drasticly avoid either.

This is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen, but that's a very good thing. Like Troll 2, it's an absolute riot; what was supposed to be a very serious drama is now an instant cult classic, thanks to the tragically bad acting of director Tommy Wiseau.

I thought Behind the Mask was hilarious lol not what I was expecting. It was a great Idea.

Just watched Bad Taste and I must say I thought it was great, never seen Bad Taste or Dead alive until a couple hours ago and both were very fun. The only thing I didn't like was how the guy was so eager to use the rocket launcher and he blew up his friend's car(just to kill two aliens!!)

Also watched Re-animator for the first time and loved it. Always saw it in stores and thought it looked boring but great flick, highly recommended. Anyone seen the sequels, any good?

Repo.The Genetic Opera

Once I got over most of the songs being set to the sound of New Metal, it was a pretty good flick, the shit music was mixed up with some discordent blues and jazz but overall it was a cheesy romp.... It's a shame it's not getting a wider release.

Phantasm III

This is a great movie. Made in 1994 this is one of quite few really good horror movies from the 90's. The Tall Mans unholy crusade of destruction continues and Reggie teams up with a little kid called Tim and a girl called Rocky. Together they go after the Tall Man to rescue Mike.


Thunderball

One of my favourite James Bond movies. Spectre has gotten hold of two nuclear warheads and they demand a 100,000,000 pound ransom but of course 007 is there (in the Bahamas) to save the world.


Tutti i colori del buio (All the colours of the dark)

My, oh my. This is one of my all time favourite movies. It's absolutly amazing!
Directed by Sergio Martino, one of the top giallo directors ever, this is the story of a young woman called Jane (played by the beautifull Edwige Fenech) who is tormented by strange visions, is stalked by a strange man and gets involved in a satanic cult. Great actors, great (and weird) story and a truely amazing soundtrack by Bruno Nicolai. This is a must see for any fan of euro horror!

Eraserhead:....um...wow...well I loved it, didn't understand it. I had my own personal coneection/interpretation to it. Looking at the cover I always thought it was about a serial killer but wow was I way off.

Children Shouldn't play with dead things: I remember seeing this when I was younger and gave it another go. It genuinely creeped me out, the make-up was great and I loved the ending. It shows you don't need gore and boobs to have a horror movie. Great zombie movie..

Vibe would be a good word to describe Children, I loved the look and idk just seeing them walking towards the house just creeped me out for some odd reason.

Just watched Children of the Corn III: Wow, the only thing I remembered was the giant...rat...thing, I actually liked it, very crappy but I liked it. Charlise Theron was in a few shots lol. I thought it was hilarious when the giant rat picked up the black girl and they used a barbie doll HAHAHA.

Frost/Nixon

In the interest of full disclosure, this post may contain some comments that could be seen as minor spoilers: but, let's face it - if you're going to see this movie, you probably know how it's going to end anyway.

Anyway.



Near the end of the film, Sam Rockwell's character says the following of the success of the final Frost/Nixon interview: "....the rest of the project and its failings would not only be forgotten, they would totally cease to exist."

I feel the exact same way about the film itself.

The movie is a damn slow burn in the beginning, and it really didn't grab me at first - seemed very bland, as though I had seen it a million times in every other "charismatic underdog" movie. But once Frost hit his stride and Nixon shattered his veneer with an ultimately damning phone call, I was in awe. Powerhouse performances from both leads, a whip-sharp script and masterful direction all rise together in a deafening crescendo and end in one of the most stunningly powerful scenes ever put to film. And I was left staring at the credits, utterly stupefied by the display of talent I had just witnessed.

Is the movie perfect? No, far from it. But by the ending, just like Rockwell's character says, not only are it's flaws forgotten: it's as though they never even existed.

Just watched a movie called Nightmare city. I guess it's one of the first running zombie films? I liked it but to me they weren't really zombies, they communicated with each other,used weapons, knew what they were doing and just seemed like humans that got a virus and were violent and bloodthirsty, not in the sense of a blind drive for human flesh. I thought it was a cool movie, the make-up pretty much all seemed the same, burnt heads..kinda reminded me of those boys that have the hairy face disorder. The wolf boys.

Oh, Nightmare City is a good movie by Umberto Lenzi. Action, attitude, blood, feeling, good acting (Hugo Stiglitz is amazing) and a wonderful twist at the end is what makes it so great. Some people see it as a zombie movie but I compltetly disagree. I see it as a mutant movie! These are not dead people coming back from beyond the grave but victims of a nuclear disaster that has made them into some kind of monsters. Good movie!

Vacancy 2

I didn't really get into it. It's set before the first movie, and is ment to explain the story of how it all came to be. But the way they told the story took away from any intensity the first movie had.. The score was probably the best thing about it and that wasn't amazeing either.

4/10

[The_Return]

Othello: The Tragedy of the Moor (2008)

Pretty solid adaptation. It's quite truncated, but the only real victim of the editing is Desdemona: she's sadly reduced to little more than a plot device. Otherwise, it's actually quite well done: Carlo Rota's Othello is fantastic, and - despite a few missing bits - Matthew Deslippe makes a great, conniving Iago.

It's nothing mind-blowing - and purists would loathe it for the omissions - but if you're just a casual fan of the play it's worth seeing.

[CrimsonFiend138]

The Astro Zombies. It's always been my favorite songs by the Misfits so I finally got to see it and I loved it. I loved the Sexy/cruel Tura Satana. I loved how B it was and loved how it was older with the look and music but still somewhat violent. Pretty slow as are most movies from that era, but I enjoyed it.

[The_Return]

The Eagle Has Landed

Nothing special. Good performances, but the plot was pretty muddled.

Sutherland steals every scene he's in though, as always - highlight of the movie for sure.

Henry:Portrait of a serial killer. I always thought would have sucked but boy was I wrong. Great fucking movie.

About to watch April Fools day then Malevolence then maybe session 9.

Alright buddy, I've got a sincere recommendation for you.

Days of Wine and Roses (1962) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055895/)

Last year I watched The Lost Weekend (because I'm a big Wilder fan) and was very impressed, so I decided to catch a few more famous movies on alcoholism. I saw this Blake Edwards film a few days after and it made The Lost Weekend look like Snow White.

While Wilder's film makes a nice ctitique of alcohol abuse in America, Edwards presented a dark, hepless, abysmal crack at it. Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick honestly scare the shit out of me in this, and Lemmon's take has to be one of the best (and certainly his finest) performances I've ever seen.

Taken

Ass-kicking good times. It rides the line between rightous intentions and brutal violence with a sure-handed ease. The scripting is tight, the lensing is fantastic and Liam Neeson is a genuine badass - I would not want him to hit me.

Slumdog Millionaire.


Want me to be totally unbiased? Here we go...

After the 28 Days/Weeks duo, I did not expect this from Danny Boyle. He came across as a moviemaker who has a sensible approach and a no-nonsense way of filmmaking, and for him to make this is a bit incomprehensible. The very first word of the movie title itself portrays the country wrongly, and that goes with the mis-interpretation the West has always had of India - a country full of poverty, crime, slum dwellers, superstitions, orthodox beliefs, etc., when today's India is more or less an opposite.

Now the movie itself.

The performances of the two leads was about par, but the two superstars of the Indian movie industry were a bit flat. The concept of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? was novel, but the execution and the questions itself were poorly done.

The music wasnt that great either, and why A R Rahman has got nominations for it is totally beyond me. He is a very talented music director, and has much, much better soundtracks under his belt than this one.

The only redeeming factor I noticed was the cinematography. Fine camerawork dots this flick from beginning to end.

Boyle's direction - considering the basic premise idea and the settings he should have taken into account, is mediocre. Being a Britisher, he should have had a much better view of modern India today, since the history of India and Great Britain has been so deeply linked. Any Indian viewer with a deep-rooted sense of patriotism would tear him to pieces, but I am being unbiased here, so I ll spare him.

Overall, it has a good beginning, but after the first 30 minutes, it goes down paths which viewers would already have seen many times before in crime/Mafia-esque type flicks. Considering the fact that it doesnt correctly portray the great nation as it is today, its another big minus on Slumdog's credentials. Roland Joffe faced the same problem when he made City of Joy in the early 90s with Patrick Swayze - he totally misinterpreted and misrepresented India and Indian culture, and faced a lot of flak for it.

Watch it, get entertained, but dont leave the theater with any post-conceived ideas from it. Erase it from your memories once you are done watching.

And dont even get me started on the Oscars and their credentials.

Bluntly put, this movie partly feeded off the world's sympathy and empathy for the Mumbai attacks in November '08. Anyone who knows India the way India is, would straightaway condemn this pic as being too cliched and grossly misrepresentative.

I dare say it might win the Oscar for the same reason above.

Too late, the damage has been done. People of the world continue to have a cock-eyed view of India, thanks to this flick and its immense popularity.

And too bad, because there are WAY better HINDI flicks than this one which never got the world's attention (because they werent released worldwide, and restricted to domestic BO), and which rightfully deserve an Oscar for Best Pic, in many more ways than one.

Totally agree; there were lot better hindi films already made in India (even Ram Gopal Verma made couple of better flicks I think:D) and you know.. that didn't surprised me at all; cause this is the same award platform that almost failed to recognize Satyajit Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyajit_Ray) (Ray was an Indian Bengali Filmmaker & one of the greatest in the history of world cinema) and awarded him only with an honorary one just before his death at 1992 (it was like.."oh man! we almost forgot about him, let's just give him an award now..before he dies!") while he deserved a lot for his several outstanding masterpieces like Pather Pachali, Goopy Gayin Bagha Bayin, Jolshaghor etc.

[alkytrio666]

Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) - 1/5

The father of gore's most infamous film is probably remembered mostly for its idea and not its execution. It starts out great, banjos roaring and confederates raging; in fact, the opening credits sequences paint an extremely uncomfortable portrait of an angry southern town. However, the next hour or so tears that apart with snail-rate pacing and an uninteresting storyline.

Do You Like Hitchcock? (2005) - 3.5/5

A loving homage full of twists and turns, cinematic in-jokes and style. Argento gleefully fills the screen with all of his favorite Hitchcock moments (and ours too) but never crosses into kiss-ass or cheese territory, which is extremely impressive. Elio Germano does a great job at playing the sympathetic angle while remaining voyeuristic and nosy, and the rest of the unknown cast do a good job filling in the gaps around him.

Touchez pas au grisbi (1954) - 5/5

Becker's response to the noir wave is both gracefully entertaining and revolutionarily violent. The film takes its time in engulfing itself in a world which just seems to get darker and darker, constantly diving into lower depths of the city. As usual, Jean Gabin is astounding; here he is cool and sleek, not unlike a lot of the American noir icons, but he doesn't have as gracious a sense of humor and he's on the wrong side of crime. Modern gangster fare owes credit to the slow-burn, character-oriented plotting used here, though few films have been able to match Becker's engaging style.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - 3/5

A decidedly unfocused attempt at pairing Bram Stoker's meticulous novel with themes of voyeurism and cinematic invention. The film isn't a failure; Coppola is masterful in both his stunning visuals and his complex sound design, and the film is probably the closest Stoker adaptation to date. Unfortunately the acting is unnatural and uncomfortable. Oldman seems pretty at-home with his Count characterization, and Hopkins knows exactly what he is doing, but the rest of the cast is blatantly overwhelmed. Whether Keanu is in place as some kind of cultural joke is not important because his naivity is both boring and unprofessional. See it for its craftsmanship but don't expect any kind of groundbreaking drama.

To Have and Have Not (1944) - 4/5

The beginning of a beautiful friendship; Bogie and Bacall are immediately magnetic, their chemistry gleaming as though it had been alive for years. The story isn't exactly explosive (in the wake of Bogart's previously successful overseas film, this one seems recycled) but strong characters keep the film pulsing and rich. Hawks and Bogart reportedly never got along, but this never showed in their collaborations, which ironically were some of both of their finest career moments.

[The_Return]

Now that it has a decent DVD release, I'll have to check it out though. Nothing like a good slasher once in awhile.

[alkytrio666]

White Dog (1982) - 3.5/5

What starts as an effective idea and a thought-provoking metaphor never quite becomes anything profound, though Fuller's exploration is brave and his intentions important. It isn't a fun film to watch; its presentation is barbaric and sometimes cruel, but the story is always on track and engaging. A reminder that cinema does not always have to be a friendly medium, and that sometimes things are more effectively shown than told.

Morally bankrupt, which is why I kinda liked it. Not a good movie or even remotely plausable. It is a filthy movie through and through - murder, indiscriminate fucking, reckless drug abuse, lies, broken oaths and some really sweet autopsy gore... who knew post med-school residents were so much fun?

Like I said, not a good movie, but for some stupid reason I liked it - it was written by the two guys who wrote and directed Crank and shares the same sort of out-of-control, nihilistic glee. It says nothing, but makes a lot of noise in the process.
