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

Reasonable Doubt.... 4/10 could've been better...a lot better.

 

Paranormal Activity..the Marked ones...or something....3/10 more is happening on this movie compared to the other ones but that isn't saying much.....

 

Rewatched 12 monkeys last night. even better than i remembered, 10/10. Madeline Stowe is an absolute DREAM BOAT.

 

Hunger Games 2 - 4/5

 

In recent days rewatched:

The Warriors One of my favorite films got massacred by a stupid 'director's cut' which edited the film like a comicbook with panels and balloons dialogue and a stupid voiceover introduction alluding to ancient roman warriors. Dumb edition. Good thing I still have my old dvd original version. The film a solid 8.5/10, this Blu-ray director's cut 6/10

Chariots of Fire like a good wine this classic film gets better and better as years pass. I always discover little details I missed in previous viewings. Vangelis music, which was at first a weird choice for a period film, remains powerful. 9/10

Adam the 1983 tv movie about the disappearance and murder of the boy Adam Welsh and how this crime affected his parents, remains a powerful drama that is still relevant today as it was 31 years ago. The scene where the dad trashes a bed upon being told his boy was found decapitated is truly heartbreaking. 8/10

 

Dark Knight rises: 4/10. Silly stuff, utter crap compared to the second one.

 

Dark Water 4.5/10

Pretty ridiculous, convoluted film with "Sixth Sense" overtones

Some good actors are in it, but it's at best a mediocre film... some fairly creepy visuals and settings, but almost too creepy to be believable... would any young woman on her own raising a little girl with at least some means willingly move into such a building? Hard to believe once you see it... I wouldn't recommend this film at all unless you haven't watched a TV or a movie in 20 years and you desperately want to and you finally have a TV and a blue ray/dvd player in front of you and a copy of this film is the only thing you can watch... then it's probably good entertainment

 

That's what I've heard

 

But isn't a bunch of Asians??:dunno:

I don't wanna watch a movie with a bunch of asians with their Ching-Chong-China... I can't UNDERSTAND you... Go back to CHINA... White Power

 

Went to see 'Locke' and it was very good - from an acting PoV only.
As a movie-for-entertainment? Not so good.

8/10 for the former, 5/10 for the latter.

 

chingchingchina we are siamese if you please we are siamese if you don't please... I havent got time for all this ching chong talk from all those chinamen there

 

Started watching an Adam Sandler movie the other night and had to IMDB what it was. I got hooked. It was mostly a romantic dramady. That film? Punch Drunk Love. Really good movie, great, pacing, acting, directing, dialogue and the scoring really captured the heart of the film. 8/10.

 

Life Aquatic - 7/10. Not quite as great as i remember it but still v.good.

 

Hate Wes Anderson

 

2 guns
65/100

 

grudge match

pretty good

 

Watched the docu-movie 'Tyson'. Pretty interesting, 5/10.

 

tonight I might watch the Bill mahr movie "religious"
I can't believe I never saw this..

 

Rushmore is the only one I enjoyed really... His films are just too affected and insufferably quirky for my taste

 

Under The Skin


5/10, this flick almost played out like a silent movie, not much dialogue in it. Sure, Scarlett Johansson appeared totally nude in 2 scenes in this movie, but it's not the kind of nudity that will get osfan aroused.

 

Yeah her boobs were underwhelming...

 

I ended up watching Superman 2 with my son tonight.. Lol

 

shouldnt the whole forum have the same premise as this thread? :scratcher: so you start a thread for each movie, but when you rate a movie you do it with a bit more detail

 

You ever see "Bottle Rocket"?

Curious if anyone else liked it.

 

Yeah, I really liked Moonrise Kingdom too. I thought Grudge Match was ok.

 

There used to be a single movie thread which you can find in this forum called "Sticky: The old Movie thread". Anyway, everyone started saying we need a movie forum. I was totally against it but Godfather created it anyway and I have to admit the forum is way better than just having the thread.
