The last film you saw

The Iron Giant. :(

and that's all I have to say on the matter

The ending to that film is so sad...

R.I.P Superman D:
why does everybody say this? the iron giant has one of the most uplifting and optmistic endings i've ever seen.

btw dont see Tales from Earthsea when it comes out, its really REALLY bad imo
really? i knew it wasn't very good compred to other ghibli films but is it worth seeing for just the animation? i'm willing to give it a chance if it's not completely unwatchable.

its terrible by ghibli standards. i havent seen the reviews but from what i saw its dated as fuck and the story is beyond convoluted and cheesy. its not worth it imo, but then again i hated panyo too.
 
also just got back from watching scott pilgrim vs. the world

HOLY BAJEEEEEEEEEEESUS

it's probably the geekiest movie i've ever seen but it's geeky in such a GOOD WAY. i honestly can't think of anything bad to say about this movie, other than ramona isn't really that likable and it's weird that scott is doing so much for her.

but man. it's SO GOOD. you can tell it appeals to a very niche audience, but it just so happens i'm in the core of that audience, so of course i adore it. plus the fact that this movie is canadian as hell (with a lot of references you wouldn't get unless you lived around the gta) just compounds how much sheer, unadulterated, geek love i have for this movie.

michael cera does a fantastic job (as do all the other actors) and is probably the first movie where he hasn't been typecast as an awkward teenager. sure, he's still pretty awkward, but he's also incredibly badass and kicks some major butt. i was worried that he would be stuck playing the role of the awkward teen for the rest of his career but after seeing him in scott pilgrim i can easily imagine him playing some really varied and interesting roles.

the music is solid throughout with some really rockin' tunes playing during the fights. the sound effects contain a lot of hidden references (the moment i heard the zelda music, i knew i would love this movie) and the seinfeld music caught me completely offguard, which made it so much better. i was worried the special effects would be overdone but they're spaced out very well and done with a lot of effectiveness in the fight scenes.

i remember hearing someone say this is edgar wright's love letter to this generation, and after seeing this movie it's easy to see why. hot fuzz and shaun of the dead are two of my favourite comedies, and with this flick edgar is now easily one of my favourite directors.

it's really too bad, because the film is going to do terrible at the box office and might not even make back half its budget. i can see why this movie doesn't enjoy widespread appeal, and why most people older than thirty years old would find this movie excessive/too fast paced/what have you. (although my dad loved it, and he's sixty one) it's incredibly disappointing to know that vampires suck is doing better at the box office than scott pilgrim, though :(

i want to watch this movie again RIGHT NOW. seriously. i can't even BEGIN to describe how perfect this movie is. it hit every single one of my "i love this film" nerves, and hit 'em hard. if you haven't watched this movie yet, watch it. if you have, WATCH IT AGAIN.

Scott Pilgrim

you summed it up better than i ever could! i didn't know it was by the Shaun of the Dead guy either, so that's just another thing to like about it.

Michael Cera to be honest, is a pretty decent actor, it's just that he's usually stuck with an awkward role, but manages to pull it off, I haven't seen SP yet, but shit he was amazing in Youth In Revolt.

An actor I seem to really dislike is Christopher Mintz-Plasse (aka. Fogell or McLovin), damn there's something about him that in all his films I feel the need to dropkick him D:

Christopher Mintz-Plasse did great in Kick-Ass. It wouldn't have been the same if some one else had been casted as Red Mist.

Gladiator.

Beautiful soundtrack
made me bubble up
Beautiful movie

IMO one of the best movies ever released.
one of my faves ;)


oh!! i saw the expendables.

wow that was a bad movie!!!

but i think i went in expecting more comedy and explosions

though tbh they got the cheesy cliche'd 80's action down right

and the ending scene's action was amazing enough to make it a satisfying watch

lots of knifes in throats and that new automatic shotgun with exploding rounds was in it too (jesuschrist badass)

plus i watched it in the ale house so i got a cheesecake and some beer while the movie was playing so it all worked out
 
Dog soldiers

I really liked it, the story might not have been the best for a horror (with some comedy) but the actors all played really good (and had a great accent).

I really liked the part when one of the soldiers goes 101 with the werewolf (I hope I give you the shit), or when another one hijacks the car and suddenly feels someone breathing in his neck.

Great B movie

Also this movie is first movie by the guy who made the Descent

Sans Famille, the 2000 one. It has a MILF and a loli in it, what can go wrong? Especially since the second half is different from the book and the old man doesn't die?
The ending.He does.. It felt like watching the Jews from the ending of Schindler's List accidentally shoot Old Yeller, who is barking for Shane to come back and reading "Love you forever" at the same time.



That didn't make any sense at all.

Awesome Bro

Just finished watching Prince of Persia on bluray (Yarrrrgh!), and I can honestly say, it's now in my top 10 favourite films, like, REALLY high up, just under the Pirates films, I thought it was bloody incredible, I honestly wasn't expecting TOO much since it's based off a videogame franchise, but fuck it turned out amazing.
