The old movie thread: ratings and discussion' or some shiz

i watched that Sunshine movie like you guys commanded...it's pretty good :bears: the ending part with the sun was dumb though, as were the weird effects whenever that bad guy was about :scratcher:

 

Yeah, they kind of went full retard at the end. Still a solid watch though.

 

Well, the Hopkins character and his greedy family went at great lengths to take the Howard's End country house from the rightful heir which was Thompson. After all the deceitful maneuvers at the end it still landed in the hands of very person the deceased lady intended to in the first place. It shows the hypocrisy of the ruling aristocracy during the Edwardian era England and how it screw up the lower middle class people like Thompson and her sister. Good period drama.

 

what your review?
should we all watch it?

 

I meant the movie you mentioned - 'The Signal'

 

Oculus


Look good but wasn't paying much attention to it...was in the middle of something else...need to check it out again.

 

:l3:

 

:bears:

 

can anyone recommend any good movies that portray redneck america? you know the kind of poor, isolated american farmer or maybe trailer home or small town america

i mean the depressing kind

 

:bears: some of those look interesting...are they depressing and show the economic hardships of rural life?

 

Watch The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice & Men, Places in The Heart, The Postman Always Ring Twice, Walking Tall (the original with Joe Don Baker) White Line Fever, Hick, I Walked The Line (with Gregory Peck).

 

Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus is a documentary about the south.

 

if you are looking for the real McCoy and not fictional, a documentary called Harlan County, USA about a brutal 1970s labor dispute gives a vivid view of the stereotypes

For a fictional version, "Deliverance" does the job well

 

:giggle:

 

Ninja Turtles was pretty fun. Action scenes a bit incoherent in the typical Michael Bay style. Megan Fox really ruined her face.

 

To Kill A Mockingbird (1963) Rewatched again last night this classic film since my daughter is reading the book for her English class. Great, great film. Gregory Peck truly deserved the Oscar he got for his portrayal of Atticus Finch, the ultimate fictional good guy. Robert Duval was a treat at the end. A masterpiece. 10/10

 

wonderful film, even better book

 

Paris Je t'aime 6/10. Series of short films, some were 5 star some were awful. Overall I really enjoyed it.
Taxi Driver 10/10. Perfect innit? One of a small handful of bona fide 10/10s. I also made enjoyment to the making of docu.

 

One of my favourite of the short films:

The Inbetweeners 2

Not funny, not clever, not worth bothering with. 3/10.

MTF

 

Is this generally a viewpoint about The Inbetweeners...or just the 2nd movie?

 

The show was funny.

 

You ever see the doc about the guy who plays the gun dealer?
