well I meant more like streaming, but a torrent is fine too.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Great show, DN. You'll love it. P.S. Zerg "Stevensen Yu" rinch Being dissed by someone as shoddy as you isn't really a deterrent. I never felt bad when Yama or niki disapproved of me either. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Alright, I'm back with even more movies. There's a shitton of cable movies that I saw and took off from my netflix queue but unfortunately netflix doesn't keep track of my ratings/watched like their dvd shipped list. Barely remember most of them anyway.
Spoiler:
To be seen on Monday, Next and Paranormal Activity. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I watched A Mighty Wind with the girlfriend last night. Probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time and only makes you realize how utterly and shamefully wasted Eugene Levy's comedic talent was wasted on those movies with the Pie Fucker™.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I had super high hopes for that flick, but I really didn't enjoy it very much. Just seemed like it was trying too hard. You're right that Eugene Levy was wasted on American Pie, though.
Most amazing jew boots John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
See, it was like that for me with Best of Show, which I just watched. As before, Eugene Levy is a massive standout in a movie that felt forced. It was still really funny though.

Doot doot, here we go again. Nothing like a good old fashion update to get this thread going. I love movies, even crappy ones. Crappy ones can be a good palette cleaner for good ones ya know. But yeah, even there's gems among the crap and there's crap. Obviously I'm on a list of movies made from '07 here. Got some ways to go before I could get caught up on movies from within this year at least. But no biggie, most dvds/blu-rays takes a while to get released anyway.
Also for the record, I am copy and pasting this from a netflix dvd shipped list (so most recent is first) and I tend to review my movies from the oldest to recent. Spoiler:
To be seen next week: Blood and Chocolate and The Lives of Others. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I just got through watching Season 8 of 24 and I thought it was great!
Spoiler:
Also saw Saw 3d the other week which was much like the other films in the series (And therefore great). Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Wow. I'm a such a terrible person. I should had keep up on this thread. There were a week or two where I didn't even watch my rentals. O.o' I was obsessed with gaming at the time. (Sword of Mana, Golden Sun TLA and Mother 3 all back to back... was the reason.) And yeah there was an anime series I was watching too which kinda contributed to my smaller list of what I had watched recently. Alrighty lets see what I got.
Spoiler:
And NOW. To be seen tonite and maybe tomorow... Breach and There Will Be Blood. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Last week I watched Toy Story 3, Sympathy for Lady Vengance and Black Death.
Toy Story 3 was alright, I liked the numerous prison movie references. Sympathy for Lady Vengance is a great film, surprisingly different to Old Boy and the first Korean film I've seen with even a hint of a happy ending. Black Death, like pretty much every film with Sean Bean in, is top stuff too. It's by the same guy who made Creep and Severance, two of my favourite films, so I knew I'd probably enjoy it. Not nearly as violent as the box leads you to believe but the action sequences there are are top notch. Oh yeah, also watched Repo Men which is the first Jude Law film I've managed to sit all the way through and actually wasn't too bad overall. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Cheers Shin, glad to see you liked Sympathy for Lady, it was interesting for me. Still not sure what to make of the trilogy in whole honestly lol.
Spoiler:
How ya doing, buddy? |
Saw a good movie recently that made me actually want to review it on Netflix since a lot of people who reviewed it may or may not have missed the point of it. :\
Spoiler:
How ya doing, buddy? |
I remembered the other day that someone had bought me The Omen Pentology and I'd only ever watched the original and the remake of that so I watched Omen 2.
It's not brilliant. Damien as a teenager isn't nearly as sinister as Damien as a kid, Lance Henrikson isn't as sinister as the weird maid from the first one and the whole thing is just a bit bland, lacking all the suspense and oppressive feel of the first one. I'll watch the others at some point but I bet the fourth is really shit, like Nightmare on Elm Street 5 shit. Oh yeah, that reminds me I watched the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street not too long ago and that's completely shit. I actually quite enjoyed the remake of The Omen and I personally think Rob Zombie's Halloween is better than the original but the Elm Street remake is just plain shite, avoid at all costs. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Spoiler:
I suppose I'll mention a couple of movies that I've seen recently and remember. Spoiler:
FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Yeah, I'm honestly not a big fan of the original Halloween either. I remember it being too slow and takes forever to get going. It's just not very visually impressive compared to the others you mentioned. It had the mood, but it never really did much with it. Don't get me wrong; it has its moments, but I prefer Halloween 2 in the hospital.
I've never seen House of 1,000 Corpses, mainly because I saw Devil's Rejects first. I don't remember if I actually finished Devil's Rejects or eventually turned it off out of boredom. I just can't stand Rob Zombie's style. Oh, and good call staying far away from the Friday the 13th remake. Awful waste of time. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Well I just saw an awesome film. Down Terrace is a massively low-budget gangster film set in Brighton. It's about a father and son crime family who've just been let off a drugs charge and are trying to identify the mole in their operation.
Rather than the usual gangster film fare of non-stop criminality and cockney geeeeeezers, this is a largely slow-paced family drama, all set in a single house more or less with a couple of moments of shocking violence. It's a really, really good film and I'd recommend it to anyone who's after a more thoughtful gangster movie. How ya doing, buddy? |
Just finished watching Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus.
It was shit, but that is hardly surprising. Luckily it was, as I suspected it would be, so shit it was good. Like Snakes on a Train. Worth a download. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I saw the best Coen movie ever.
I only saw a few since but its worthy of a bump! No Country for Old Men - Holy shit. That dude. Javier Bardem gives me the fucking chills even after the movie was over. But YES, this is definitely one of those movies you write home about and don't forget EVER. There doesn't seem to be a wasted shot either or a wasted conversation. There's always something that is essential and chilling to watch. The 70s throwback was awesome and I dare say made this even better. And it is the best Coen movie I had watched since. (I'm still in chronological order, just about to finish '07 backlog) Eastern Promises - Another great violent movie, based in Russia and had already a trio of favorite casts I'd like to see. Viggo really throws it in this one, making me a bigger fan of him already despite of other stuff he's in. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - I like Phillip Hoffman and Ethan Hawke in this but this movie didn't really do much for me. Interesting heist gone wrong kind at best. A Simple Plan was much better. Savages - Again, absolutely love Phillip Hoffman in this too. Interesting and it wasn't on my queue but it was a recommendation from James' coworker as she loaned it to us. It was great insight on an estranged elder that needs to be taken to a nursing home while struggling with issues involving the estrangement, dementia, and their messed up lives while they cope with each other (brother and sister) and their loves. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
No major spoilers below:
-I liked No Country for Old Men, but I didn't feel like it deserved Best Picture at the Oscars. Then again I didn't see any of the other movies it was up against. -I saw Eastern Promises a few months ago and it was quite good. Viggo was phenomenal. Twist was great and that bathroom scene was so memorable. It will be etched in my mind forever. -I also just watched Old Boy which was good. The language barrier caused me to really get confused at the end though. I missed out on so many details. Frankly, I had to read a message board to find out what happened, which probably made me like the movie a little less. Definitely worth watching though. Similar to to Eastern Promises, the fight sequence in that hallway was unbelievable. The way the scene was shot, the music, and for the most part, being realistic made it stand out for me (not including the elevator scene of course =p). The Octopus scene was . -And speaking of The Omen the first two were good. Remake, 3 and 4 not so much. If you want a present day movie in a similar vein without the devil related stuff, go see Orphan. I was blown away by this movie. - Watched The Time Machine today mainly due to the fact that I knew the soundtrack was amazing. And it is. First half of the movie was great, second half was mediocre. If the movie had maintained the quality of the first half it would have been a classic. However, that was not the case. Apparently it is a remake of the 1960s movie that I never seen. Guy Pearce did well in it. He is an actor that never seems to get a lot of credit, but he always performs well. The environment special effects as the main character travels through time were well done I thought. The movie left me with that feeling of just how insignifcant a single human being is in relation to geologic time. It got me thinking, but it also left me thinking about those bad underground humans. Too much focus on them. I also saw almost all of this year's award nominated movies. The only ones that should win anything are The King's Speech, Inception, Black Swan or the Town. How ya doing, buddy?

A few (okay, maybe more than a few) other movies I've seen recently: Spoiler:

I saw black swan, it was dope. I admit I only dowloaded it for the lesbian scene (delish mila kunis <3) but the movie it self was brilliant. I knew nothing about the movie other than it had something to do with balet, surprised how well written and directed it was. The opening scene is aesthetically beautiful and the slow transformation was a nice touch, I´ve never really liked Portman but she played the role of the awkward girl under pressure really well.
Spoiler:
Although it ended as you might have expected the journey was great. Oh and the lesbian scene was hot. no homo |
I've seen some. I'm about to get into two anime series quite soon so I won't be able to contribute much on the movie/shows part. (Darker than Black and Death Note if you wish to know.)

I watched Inception for the first time yesterday. It was alright I guess, basically like the Matrix with less effort put into set and costume design and even wider plot holes. Also anyone that didn't guess what the very last shot of the film was going to be from about 20 minutes in really needs to watch more films, such a painful cliche to end on. So yeah, a decent enough movie if you switch off and don't let the logical inconsistencies annoy you, I wouldn't have paid more than the £3 I did for it though.
Also recently saw the sequel to District 13 (The French free-running film, not the silly aliens in South Africa film) and that was really good. I'd love to see a race across a busy city between the dude off of that and Tony Jaa. Again it's full of plot holes but then it's a mindless action film so you pretty much expect that. I was also pleasantly surprised at how much of the French I understood without looking at the subtitles. Certainly not enough to translate to someone else but I reckon I would've followed the plot if the subtitles had been turned off. If you like parcour and French Hiphop then you'll like it, I think the official title is D13 Revolutions or something retarded like that. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

funnily enough, my opinion of Inception are the opposite of yours shin!
I felt inception was the most intellectual movie I've seen in a while, wedged tightly between all the mindless action hollywood blockbusters. not to say it didn't have good action scenes but it had good themes and material that could be discussed after watching the movie. "decent enough movie if you switch off" considering the complexity of the main idea in the movie (dreams within dreams), I think most people would forgive any possible plot holes (and I don't think they are as wide as you say they are). What do you mean when you say less effort was put into set? And how exactly is it worse than the matrix? I also didn't guess the ending or whatever. maybe I'm just stupid. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
