everyone in this forum has already talked at great length about how horrible the "twist" ending was.

Yeah well the twist ending wasn't great and it's been done before, but I still liked the movie and the ending I liked better than if they woulda just killed the killer and got away

Commando. :cool:

"Let off some steam, Bennett!"

"Leave anything for us?"
"Just bodies."

Absolutely love this flick.

Don't wake him, he's dead tired is probably my favourite line, to many fine one liners to choose from though. Bennetts ridiculous chainmail vest is enough to make the film a classic alone.

Blast! I just canceled my Netflix account last month.

Actually, I have enough friends with Netflix that I can surely get it somewhere.

I'll make it happen.

..."You know somethin'? I think this might just be my masterpiece."

Yes, it's a pretty close one indeed. And thanks a lot for introducing Mr. Christoph Waltz to us...looking forward to see more of his works in coming days.

Brazil (1985). An incredibly dark fantasy for sure, for some reason i did not really like it and could not wait for it to be over. Everything about it seemed perfect (acting, direction, story, visuals, etc.) and i am not in any way saying it was not awesome. i just did not like it, though the ending was pretty great. It might have been the fantasy aspect of it that i did not like. Whatever, i'd still recommend it to everyone. Ashe.

New Moon.

Loved it.

Shut up.

Happy Birthday to Me (1981)

Man, I didn't realize how sloppy and lame this movie is. Some interesting sequences here and there, and the ending is kind of cool.

I Spit on Your Grave (1978). This started out as a poorly acted 70s exploitation flick that was almost forced viewing, but then turned into a pretty decent flick, especially for its time. The feel was almost documentary in tone, and the main scene was blatant and real as opposed to viewer friendly exploitation. Overall worth a watch, especially for the fans of brutal flicks. Ashe.

Awesome film. One of the best ever.


:eek:

Noooooooooooo! *insert "Oh No!" emoticon here*

I m gonna tell everyone you actually WATCHED it, and even LIKED IT too! :(

Hey, not going to argue that they have any sort of cinematic merit or that everyone should rush out and see them or anything...

Everyone gets a guilty pleasure. The Twilight Movies - They're mine.

...

And I hate you both.

Eating people, or having a nun fetish. That's a guilty pleasure, not liking Twilight. That's just sick.

True. My guilty pleasure is you.

And, I can see the love. Chrono is too transparent.

This is my ultimate bliss. My nirvana.

Most of you might rate this a 7 or a 8 (maybe a 9, or even below 7), but for me this is the only cinematic experience I would give a 12 (out of 10). If there ever was a sixth star beyond the maximum rating of 5 stars, this is the one which gets it. Goonies, Neverending Story, Platoon, The Warriors, Alien, Blade Runner all fall a notch below (for me that is).

If you asked me why...I probably couldn't answer you back. Couldn't explain it. No words come to mind.

Except one line which I can offer as the best summation - this story touches me like nothing else in my life.

That's all.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle - A dour crime drama about small-time hoods in early 70s Boston. Not a fun movie, per se, and the Boston accents weren't great, but a good movie all about negotiation and transaction.

Dead Mans Shoes


Love this film, third or forth time Ive seen it now and it keeps getting better. Paddy Considine's finest role.

Saw that a few years back, it's pretty good. I was less than pleased with the ending and the camera work is amateur, but it kinda grows on ya....
Great acting!

I'm a fan of this film too, however I found a lot of the accents a little hard to follow.

You can definitely see through me. *smooches*

Ewwww. V, don't touch it! You'll catch the Twirus!

Fuckin' funny. Enjoyed it a lot.

Elevator to the Gallows (1958). A masterpiece of French noir by first-time director Malle. The acting is superb, with steamy Moreau melting the screen brooding over her lover, the cool but luckless Ronet. The scene of her crossing the street was insane. Lino Ventura also gives a great if brief perfomance. With sparse dialogue, again this flick does what it is supposed to, show a story unfolding. And quite a story this was, with unforeseen coincidences, childish pranks, and luck culminating into that great ending. The dark atmosphere and camerawork are wonderful, with a score by Miles Davis that addded the perfect touches to an incredible film. Ashe.

Cold Prey.

Pretty damn good slasher movie. Thanks, V, for the rec.

3.5/5.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Child's Play

Mulholland Dr. (2001). Though this was a great movie, it still begs the question: Why make a movie that is so nigh impossible to figure out that it comes with a just as cryptic cheater card? i love mind benders, but this was a bit much. Maybe the fun is found catering to the ego in how much a guy can correctly figure out before peeking at the interweb's "answers in the back of the book" website. Either way, it was a great experience, just a little over the top for the average human brain.

Trick 'r Treat (2008). This was just plain fun. A perfectly interwoven treat for the holiday sack. Ashe.

Glad you liked it, i figured you'd be another hater.

Paint your Wagon did it for me.

Let The Right One In

Caught bits and piece of Superman on TV.

I've been on a Scorsese binge lately:

Italianamerican (1974)

Great little documentary. Funny to see the way Scorsese's parents interact and cool to see where he came from.

-8/10

American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince (1978)

I love this film. The way it's shot makes you feel like you're sitting around with Scorsese and Prince listening to his crazy stories. Definetly a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

-9/10

It's not available on Netflix yet. I've Saved it and it'll be pushed into my queue when it's available. Thanks!

Silly low-budget Irish High School Zombie Flick. Not bad, but not great either. I enjoyed Dance of the Dead more (in terms of low-budget High School Zombie Flicks).

2.5/5.

I always thought that flick was American. The cover art over here makes it look that way. It looked lame so I've always avoided it. Been meaning to rock Dance Of The Dead.
