You had never seen Battle Royale ?? :eek: Color me shocked.


Death Proof... liked it better this time around, but QT is soooo full of himself and it showed. In his other movies the dialogue just flowed, whereas here it all seems forced. Still enjoyable though.

I could listen to Quentin Tarantino dialogue all day long.

28 Weeks Later
Even with all the hype, I was still surprised at how good this flick is.
I think I prefer it to the previous.

Usually, so can I, but not in this one.

Watching Dead or Alive (Miike's)

I seen this movie for the first time a few months ago and fell in love with it. Damn it was brutal! Hoping to get it form Christmas.

Half Baked

I just spent a good hour or two watching trailers to old 80's martial arts movies. I ordered a few; Kickboxer, American Kickboxer, American Ninja, Bloodsport, and a few Gary Daniel flicks. I need to get my Van Damme collection finished, too. All in glorious fullscreen, bad-transfer-ready, and mono or limited stereo sound. This is the way cheese was meant to be seen!

Absolutely fucking SHIT sequel though...loved the first...

Meet the Robinsons 7/10

My friend Shea played "Tip" in that one! He's awesome...and his daughter is in my son's class.

I was actually going to do that. I've heard good things!

That's really cool! He played a great part in the film.

the war zone

a wincingly intense look at incest. also tim roth's directorial debut.
definitely worth watching.

Such a hard movie to watch.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation


6.5/10

ugh, for sure.

I watched ityears ago when it came out... It's a great piece of Cinema... has he directed anything since?

He has been quiet of late, though I might go see youth without youth just to get a fix..

no, i'm pretty sure that's the only film he's directed. he did a great job though, i'd like to see him do it again.

yeah he hasn't been doing a lot, but he will be playing "george"(the dad) in the funny games remake.

What the Fuck, they are remaking funny games! In English I guess, Fuck that... I didn't think I could lose more faith in the Industry with the remakes, I thought they had already raped everything..

But serioulsy, this is a movie that should not be touched, I just felt a shiver from my head to my toes...

The trailer for Funny Games (remake) sort of lost me. It looked... odd. As if it was trying to be darkly serious, yet humorous at the same time. I get what they might have been trying to do. Present a disturbing event as even more disturbing by making the person commuting it act as if it were fun. But it was just... poorly done in the trailer. Loved the music thought. Noami Watts was wasted.

yeah, disease, i almost flipped when i heard about it. the only thing that interests me about it is that michael haneke himself is directing it, and it is a shot-by-shot remake of the original. his reasoning behind making an american version of the film (which i read in an interview) is that the point he was trying to make with the original (that violence as a form of entertainment has been taken for granted, and doesn't affect anyone in the way that it should) was an "american theme," which means that this is more of a problem in america than anywhere else.

i do agree with you though. the original stands alone and holds up extremely well after ten years.

we'll see how it turns out, i guess. :confused:

have you seen the original? if not, definitely check it out. it's extremely powerful and shockingly graphic (even though no violence is shown on-screen). the main point of the film (i'm talking about the original) isn't merely trying to make horrible thing seem more horrible because the ones committing it are enjoying it, although that definitely is a by-product of the film's execution. the real message is that violence in entertainment isn't portrayed and observed as it should be, or at least that's part of it.

here is a great (and really long) interview with michael haneke in which he touches on his motivations and explains in great detail the points/themes of the film:
