Looks like the old thread got wiped out so here we go...

City Hunter '99 Special: Death of Evil Saeba Ryo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrxzktm40D4)

Smart, funny, sexy. WILL WATCH AGAIN

Just saw Harry Potter 7 part 2.

I found it very disappointing. The execution of a few scenes wasn't nearly as climactic as I was hoping for. And the music made no references to John Williams' earlier themes.

The last movie I watched was The Borrower Arrietty.

I watched Precious with my boyfriend though I've had seen it before at that point; the last movie I watched that I have never seen before was Cries and Whispers by Ingmar Bergman

An American Tail!

Porco Rosso!!

Immortals........eh...better than what i expected.

Porco Rosso!!
I vaguely remember the scene near the end where he's the water and gets hit by a plane. Is that the one? I was around 5 or 6 when I saw it at the theatre.




Sakigake!! Otokojuku (1988)
This movie is about chicks becoming great cocks through adventure.

Yeah that happens in the movie. It's a really great movie!

I watched half of Robin Hood but then I decided since I had to go to work today I'd better go to bed. I do want to watch the rest of the movie someday though.

Last full film was probably the adventures of Tin-Tin, which was a lot better than I thought it was. I definitely recommend it to... well, everyone :P

Immortals........eh...better than what i expected.

Really? I thought the movie was shit, and the 3D was even worse.

Last movie I saw was Winnie The Pooh's Most Grand Adventure.

Last movie I saw was Winnie The Pooh's Most Grand Adventure.

I guess when you go watch it without any interest, the movie comes out better than you think. I hate watching movies in 3D, makes it worse in my opinion. How was Winnie The Pooh? I heard great reviews, and I love Winnie the Pooh. XD

Winnie the Pooh is always awesome.

3D is overrated and I don't think it's necessary at all. You hardly notice it anymore after 2 minutes, except for after 10 minutes when the headache starts.

I'm so glas 3D died out like a fast gimmick. After Avatar came out I got scared from all the hype that the artistry of traditional cinematography would phase out into a thing of the past... too many people in the world today just don't understand or appreciate the deliberate thought and art that goes into films.

3D died out like a fast gimmick? Where the hell are you and how do I get there? It seems the new film motto is: "If you can't make it well, make it in 3D".

Porco Rosso

Damn.

"Les Noces funèbres" (or Corpse Bride) which is a Tim Burton film.
If you don't see it, you must !

Porco Rosso

Damn.

Been wanting to see that for ages. How did you like it?

Last movie I've seen was Quills, a highly fictionalized story about the life of Marquis de Sade, you know, the guy whose name the word "sadism" was derived. Brilliant movie I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the humour and the highly suggestive scenes really add to it.

"Les Noces funèbres" (or Corpse Bride) which is a Tim Burton film.
If you don't see it, you must !

That one was pretty good, and since it's that time of the year, make sure to watch Nightmare before Christmas while you're at it :P

Aha ! :lol: Yes, for sure !

Porco Rosso

Damn.

Yessssss.
What did you think?

3D is lame, it ruins the whole mood of the movie because you're constantly worrying about the damn glasses and then headaches. Plus you don't focus on the true art form of the movie, which most new movies have lost with all of these special computer effects. One such good movie that implied great cinematography and art was Batman: The Dark Knight. Chris Nolan really knows how to captivate you into the movie ever since he did Memento.

An Education is another good movie with great story and cinematography.

Yessssss.
What did you think?

Are you bad guys? :o
Yea
So we're hostages? :o
Yea
Waii waii~ ^o^


And I'll have the girl for snack.

Watched 5 Centimeters per Second. The story was a bit slow... but the animation was just mind blowing.

I watched Season of the Witch and Clash of the Titans last night.

The new Puss in Boots film. I actually quite enjoyed it xD

The Cat Returns. I will have to watch it again because I did not pay too much attention to it. Next will be Steam boy and Helvetica Documentary.

Watched 5 Centimeters per Second. The story was a bit slow... but the animation was just mind blowing.

It's probably the most beautiful animation I've never seen. I felt that the pace that the story went was suitable for the type of story it is: a slice of life with tons of emotional torment.
I loved the ending song and sequence, I must mention this.

The Cell (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/).


What the fuck did I just watch?

I thought the concept of the movie was interesting, though it could have been a little stronger.

The Cat Returns. I will have to watch it again because I did not pay too much attention to it. That movie was fairy-tale fuel. Studio Ghibli knows how to give their main girls such good fantasies.


It's probably the most beautiful animation I've never seen. I felt that the pace that the story went was suitable for the type of story it is: a slice of life with tons of emotional torment. That movie felt ronery for me. As did his older works. They're bittersweet in a really empty kind of way.

The King's Speech.

I liked it!

The King's Speech.

I liked it!

I loved it. The cinematography is amazing and the choice of soundtrack is brilliant. Ending the movie on Beethoven's Emperor was clever.

The Cell (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/).


What the fuck did I just watch?

Let the Nostalgia Critic (http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/nostalgia-critic-the-cell-5719321) explain it to you. The review is better than the movie itself anyway.

I Am Number 4

Fairly average. Its okay if you just want the usual, minority awakens with powers to defeat "big, bad people". It did seem odd how some scenes were rather dark but the over-all tone of the film was pretty light and family, Disney-ish.

Just today I received 5 Chinese movies as a gift from my uncle at a family christmas party. So I'll be watching

Red Cliff Part 1 and 2
Three Kingdoms
14 Blades
The Lost Bladesman

in the next weeks to come. I've started watching Three Kingdoms and so far I'm rather enjoying it. It seems as though I'm watching an old tale or story that my dad would tell me as a kid, rather than actually watching a movie. I rather like this approach, I'll talk about it more once I've finished it. :)

Hulk vs Wolverine. Oh Deadpool, you made my day. :D

Just got back from War Horse.

Not quite what I expected, but a pretty good movie!

Basquiat
The Radiant Child
Brick
Paris is Burning
Good Neighbors

The Adventures of Tintin and the Secret of the Unicorn.

Quite a good movie, but most importantly, it ticked the nostalgia box of my childhood. :) I feel the start could have done with a little more explaining about who Tintin was (to new viewers), but to old fans I think they'll find it great. :)

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Didn't finish it and planning to sooner or later since it's soooo long. XD

sherlock holmes... the first one ^^

not a bad movie. it was better than i expected. i especially liked the interaction between watson and holmes.

Green Hornet.....yeah.

Green Hornet was enjoyable... lol

I watched Season of the Witch some time ago. Bleh for Nicolas Cage but thank goodness Ron Pearlman makes up for that. He didn't save the movie though but it was entertaining enough. Also saw Clash of the Titans. It had Voldemort. Or the guy who played Voldemort, but he was still playing Voldemort. I guess they forgot to tell him he was in a different movie and then decided to just go with it :/

edit: whoops, already mentioned these on the previous page. I don't watch enough movies ~_~ Ah well, with commentary this time.

I've been watching T.V. Series lately,
Firefly & Serenity (Finished)
Doll House (Finished the first season)
How I Met Your Mother (Midway through season one)
The Big Bang Theory (Finished every aired episode)

I pretty much love them all. I like The Big Bang Theory more so than How I Met Your Mother though. Firefly is awesome, it's too bad it got cancelled so soon; it had so much going for it. Dollhouse is pretty damn good too, the first few episodes don't add a whole lot as far as story goes, but then the story takes off like a rocket.

On my to-watch list: Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog

And from all the postings on the Green Hornet, I rewatched the Green Hornet. I want my awesome asian sidekick back!

Les Miserables and Se7en

Why would one call a movie Sesevenen?

Why would one call a movie Sesevenen?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That was a terrible joke!

I think that was your worst joke ever, Neko. Why would you start this year with a terrible joke like that? Of course you don't care what I have to say about your joke, but as a fellow ichigos member I think I should tell you that that joke does not belong in your post. I'm telling you this because I care. ',:D

oh btw... i just watched Attack the Block. It's a British take on an alien movie. I thought it was fairly good.

Why would one call a movie Sesevenen?

B3c@us3 1ts h1p, y0.

I can't joke about it too much though considering I haven't even heard of it.

I've just gotten back from seeing Puss in Boots. I was probably expecting too much from this movie, because it wasn't as good as I had hoped. It had its funny moments, but it just didn't live up to Puss as he is in Shrek. That being said it wasn't a bad movie, its still enjoyable to watch, I just say don't go in there expecting it to be of something like Shrek 1 or 2.

You can call it a mistake, because I think I've seen a similar movie with that title. Anyways, I just finished watching Final Destination 5....pretty lame, but the death scenes were pretty comical. Also watched The Switch...pretty good.

Harold and Maude

I wish I watched this sooner. The characters are fantastic!

One Day

Good story, good acting, mediocre directing. Too slow from the middle to end. The book was WAY better.

I watched Season of the Witch some time ago. Bleh for Nicolas Cage but thank goodness Ron Pearlman makes up for that. He didn't save the movie though but it was entertaining enough.

No.

My friend's and I tried watching Another Earth last night, and when we were fifteen minutes into it we couldn't stop mocking it. What a horrible attempt at a Sci-Fi that isn't just for gross 30 year old men who live in their childhood home's basement, but an attempt at the least.

Yes. I watched the movie till the end so it was entertaining enough to keep my interest.

Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon
14 Blades.

Resurrection of the Dragon was to me, thoroughly enjoyable and much refreshing in the style it was done. The whole presentation of the movie felt as though I was watching someone tell an old story. Not to mention the movie carried a good meaning from start to end. Not a movie for everyone though, as I expect, with the style so different from anything I've seen in western media, might be difficult for some people to grasp/enjoy. Also despite being a war movie, it didn't appear as though the battles (as good as they were) were the main focus. I found myself becoming quite attached to certain characters and their story.

14 Blades was definitely a more all-round sort of film. Basic but solid story, good action, a tinge of romance.

Fist of Legend.

The new Mission Impossible. It was good, but a bit silly.

The original Fame!

This movie was epically good. I highly recommend it. *sigh* I love Korean movies. =]

That's because a lot of films don't have deliberate thought and art.

^ That's true. But there are still a few directors who can deliver. Like Martin Scorcese with his Hugo. OH man, Hugo is a work of cinema art.

War Horse.

/sad

What qualifies as deliberate thought and art? I'm honestly not trolling, I'm just curious so as to better attempt to come up with examples for this and future discussions.

I guess.. too much art is too much.. like The Cell.

and too much thought is........ I don't know. Battlefield Earth? I just say that because that's a terrible movie. "Rat Brain"

[...] The Cell. [...]

[...] What the fuck did I just watch?

Lol
This... Like it a lot although not my favorite Studio Ghibli movie.
14596

Underworld Awakening 3D, it was meh. Can they stop making movies in 3D? I'm tired of paying more to see a shittier movie.

3D movies lol
THe 3D was pretty good for avatar but for eveything else it was like you said meh.

real steel.... it was very well done. the graphics especially

Take shelter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1675192/) - Pretty good movie about a guy who's having apocalyptic visions and seems to be losing his mind over it
Frailty (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264616/) - Also very good, about a father of two boys who one day gets a revelation that God has given him a mission to hunt down and destroy demons
The Rum diary (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376136/) Pretty interesting film in which Johnny Depp, despite the title of the thing, isn't a pirate

just bought

and looking forward to watching it.

Had seen parts as a kid, and barely remembered anything except dog scene. Good movie, now looking forward to watching the new one so I can see how crap it is.

just bought

and looking forward to watching it.

I heard it's got one of the best reviews along with Man on Wire.

@ Luis - I just watched that recently too! The most noticeable thing was the music composer. I didn't know he made those kinds of music. That and the special make up team did a fantastic job in the movie.

Carnage. Very well written movie but i wonder how many times they shot the each scene.

Underworld Awakening 3D, it was meh. Can they stop making movies in 3D? I'm tired of paying more to see a shittier movie.

The end of the world is nigh. It's truly the year of the end of the world!

I just agreed with you :upset:

edit: on the 3D part, never seen that particular movie

Carnage. Pretty interesting. It ended very suddenly but I guess that only shows that I was really into the movie.

After playing a frustrating game of NBA 2K12, I decided to watch Drive and it relaxed my mind a bit. I love Carey Mulligan. <3

[...] I decided to watch Drive and it relaxed my mind a bit.

Erm... I seem to remember a lot of disturbing stuff in that film that's far from relaxing...

I know, but every scene with Carey Mulligan made me giggle. She just has that effect on me.

On Saturday I watched the Thing, and on sunday I watched the Thing. They're not the same :mellow:

Just watched The Ramen Girl. I was hoping it'd be something awesome like Lost in Translation, but it wasn't all that great of a movie.

J. Edgar and Puss in Boots.

Airplane!

I finally saw Hugo. After wanting to see it for the longest time, I can assure you, it was well worth the wait. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a favorite of mine for a very long time.

I saw that last weekend. :) I totally agree, its definitely going to be a favourite of mine for a while as well. It definitely satisfied my love of clockwork, but what I love most was how different the presentation and flow was. I did actually want to see it in 3D, but sadly could only get to a 2D showing. Aesthetically it still looked amazing though. :)

Girl work the dragon tattoo. Loved it but the last 15 minutes confused the crap out of me

The Hunger Games. Interesting story, but I heard the book has more details that the movie left out, which makes sense because the movie was still a bit over 3 hours long.

I think the hunger games was fantastic and amazing. Had enough blood to be cool and the acting was great. I've never read the books but I absolutely loved the movie. 3 hours long? No it's about 2 and a half hours but I think the pace and length was perfect as well. Harry potter moved too fast but those were really good too.

Waterworld. It's... okay I guess. Nothing great but nothing horrible either.

Black Dynamite (DYNO-MIGHT)! One of the more entertaining movies I've seen in years!

Looks like a shitty rip-off of Battle Royale to me. I might watch it at one point so I be educated in my hatred of it, but...
Thinking of watching Battle Royal again.
Also want to watch Hana-bi, Outrage, and Zatoichi. Kitano for the fucking winnn.

No, basically the plot is Katniss Everdene from district 12 volunteers to take the place of her much younger sister Primrose. Listen man, it's not a rip off, it's really good. In the movie and book they pick fighters from each of the 12 districts between the ages of 12 and 18. So there are like these sick bad trained 18 year olds and these poor defenseless 12 and 13 year olds. Through it all, Katniss keeps her morals because she kills people when they are attacking her so it's more like a survival thing.

^ Yup, it's no where near rip off. The book is a trilogy series so try reading it. Almost everyone I know that read it said they could never put it back down once they started reading. I think I'll buy it to see how much the movie missed from the book.

i was also told that the movie was better than the book in some parts. maybe something to consider.

other than that... zatoichi wasn't so bad. I prefer Aniki. the movie is gangsterly Bawse!

So wait, it's Battle Royale, except some of the fighters are trained? Kind of like how Battle Royale had those two repeat offenders joining the fray? And there were three books? That came out after Battle Royale? I don't see where you guys are going with this. I'll have to watch it at some point to find out just how much I dislike it. I don't even care if it's a ripoff, really; the trailer itself just made me facepalm.

Then again, if it does have a lot of differences from Battle Royale, I might still enjoy the books in spite of myself, lol.


other than that... zatoichi wasn't so bad. I prefer Aniki. the movie is gangsterly Bawse!
Sweet, thanks for the recommendation. I'm looking for badass yakuza movies, hahah. =D
And I only saw like twenty minutes of Black Dynamite, but it was fucking awesome. XD

I doubt the author knows about Battle Royale.

Hopeless, read this: http://nerdvice.com/2012/03/25/battle-royale-vs-the-hunger-games/

I have to be honest, I've only seen part of Battle Royale (I got too bored with it after an hour or so) and I haven't seen the hunger games, but they don't seem exactly the same to me.

It's kind of like comparing Deep Impact with Armageddon. Both are about meteors about to hit the earth, but one of them focused on characters and story, while the other was more about the action. Same in this case. Hunger games is about a character and her story, Battle Royale is more of an action flick. Pick whichever you prefer.

Jumping on the band wagon, I saw Hunger Games 2 days ago. I actually quite enjoyed it. The big winner for me was the fact the show kept fairly serious (or more per-say, kept to its style? Anyway.) throughout. It didn't do anything terribly cheesy or try and break what it had been presenting.

As for the Battle Royal thing, I didn't even know what it was until everyone started talking about it. :blink:

Thanks for the link, Neko. It confirmed what I already thought to be the case:

So which movie is for who? The Hunger Games is for people that enjoy their romance with a twist. The Hunger Games, like Twilight, has the love triangle. Instead of Bella-Edward-Jacob, this time we have Katniss-Peeta-Gale. Ignoring the comparison, The Hunger Games is a vast improvement over the Twilight flicks. It’s not a bad movie and is worth at least a watch. It’s by no means bad! But if you’re looking for a hardcore action movie, this isn’t what you need.

For a hardcore action movie, Battle Royale is up among the best. But even more than just an action movie, it has something that The Hunger Games doesn’t: dark humor. My best friend and I watched Battle Royale just the other night and laughed hysterically at the “no whispering” part and the absurdity of getting stuck with a pot lid as a weapon (We were both laughing at a kill in The Hunger Games but we were the only ones. Maybe we’re twisted).
I could tell The Hunger Games was for the Twilight crowd just from a few trailers. Am I a genius, or is it just that obvious?
Both, lol.
And I don't know where you stopped watching BR, Neko, but it wasn't just an action movie at all; like the article you linked to says, it's actually a very dark satire of the Japanese government (and stupid adults in general). The blood is just a vehicle for expressing that. I'd suggest giving it another go, unless you really hated it. It ends up being a very touching story in the end, in my opinion. It opens up in the second half, and shows its true colors. =)

Taemond, I'd suggest watching it, too!

Seems I'm still the only person out who hasn't watched HGs.

o.o Last movie I watched was "In the Name of the Father". Wasn't all that good but it was pretty shocking to see what the British legal system can be like.

--
Ps. Hi to everyone who still remembers me.

Now that I think of it, I think I watched the beginning of BR with a bunch of friends years ago and through the middle or so we just got bored with it.

There's an american version of BR which stars Stone Cold Steve Austin! I recommend that movie over BR.... though BR was good for cute Japanese school girl thing. Mmmm... cute japanese school girl.... arrrgarggaarrrgg.

Just watched Les Miserables.....don't know why it took me so long to watch this. It's a really good story.

Had LOTR marathon last night.

Had LOTR marathon last night.

Extended Length, or Theatrical Release? If EL, then holy crap, that must have been a long day.

^ It's a total of 10 hours. I know, I've done it and never again.

^ It's a total of 10 hours. I know, I've done it and never again.

I've done it twice. Not many like movies that last that long (e.g. the full star wars collection). I know I liked it. This next time, I'm going to watch the extra features, though that may require a full weekend.

Pretty sure it was theatrical release. We started at like 6:30 pm and ended around 4 am. That's like 10 hours, but I've only ever seen the theatrical release and I don't remember seeing anything new this time around. Plus, I think after the first movie we took a fifteen minute break and then took a half hour break after the third. So, it's probably closer to 8.5 hours of actual watch time.

My next marathon will probably take place when The Hobbit hits DVD/Blue-Ray, that'll be one hell of a day.

The Help

Was a good movie, I liked it.

The Lorax and Outrage. I was surprised by The Lorax, it was a lot better than I thought it would be!

EDIT: And I just watched Appaloosa. Not bad for a modern western, though not all that great either.

Full Metal Jacket. Such a classic. And Pulp Fiction. Man the ending always gets me. Samuel L Jackson is such a BOSS.

Just watched Hop...

*eyetwitch*

The Lucky One... Better than Dear John, not as good as The Notebook. Either way, it's a chick flic and should be avoided.

Full Metal Jacket. Such a classic. And Pulp Fiction. Man the ending always gets me. Samuel L Jackson is such a BOSS.
EVERYONE is a boss in Pulp Fiction. That's why it's such an awesome movie. XD
I don't think there was one character in that movie I disliked, hahah.

Went and saw the midnight release of The Avengers.

It was pretty good as far as marvel movies go. I wish they'd stop making shit in 3d though. I would have gone and saw the 2d one but they were only showing it in 3d at the midnight release.

The Avengers as well......Hulk scenes were the best. He was tearing it up!

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

"Watch it Maggie, your claws are showing."

:D

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Brick: What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof?
Maggie: Just staying on it I guess, long as she can.


The Avengers as well......Hulk scenes were the best. He was tearing it up!
Loved this!!! so. much. ACTION.

Dark Shadows

I quite enjoyed this. Got quite a few smiles of amusement and laughter out of me too. I felt as though it could have spent a few more minutes on each of the characters, just so the audience could get a better feel and likeness for them. While not Tim Burton's best work, its still a great film which will give you some good laughs, also quite a few clever references to Burton's other movies.

I went to catch a screening of The Avengers, and with no real knowledge of the superheroes (back story and history), I found it slightly amusing. Unfortunately I had not been reading any of Marvel's comics (Cable and Deadpool is an exception), and thus I probably couldn't find it to be a spectacular film. I probably now should watch all the individual movies (The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, etc). Movie marathon, go!

Out of those movies, the Hulk movie is probably the least interesting for me. Iron Man is just awesome because well, it's Iron Man! Captain America is pretty good too. Thor is just upright hilarious.

Children of the Corn
...
marathon.

Battleship.........awful storyline, awesome CG.

La Délicatesse

watched Priest. I genuinely liked it. I'm actually excited to see the sequel, though I don't know if it's even going to come out.

Just came back from watching Prometheus. Strangely entertaining for the most part....if you liked Aliens or Ridley Scott in general.

I watched Kiki's Delivery service last sunday. It was good.
