The last film you saw

[Venetia]

Just saw HUGO.

It was AWESOME!!!!

The imagery and cinematography was just fucking beautiful. It wrenched my heart out, was a literal tear-jerker, and then would turn it all around in a little laugh.

One thing I thought was weird: It was set in France, but all the actors spoke English (which isn't weird; people hate subtitles), and had British accents. Sometimes, poor ones.
Very weird.

But other than that, it was just so god damn pretty and wonderful. I'll keep that one in mind for whenever I have a kid b/c that is a fucking must-see for kids especially. It actually has heart, and artistic value, AND it actually teaches you shit about cinema.

(Well I had already seen the films they were lauding in the movie while in college, but they are ground-breaking films in cinematic history that everyone should see anyway)


Anyway go see it!!! That shit was actually money well spent.

We saw it in 3D--it was not headache-inducing, in fact it was done REALLY nicely, but it was all so subtle, that I can't say it was worth the extra dough.

Totoro is to Dev what Spirited Away is to me. That movie sucked me in as a kid, even though I didn't totally understand all of it.

Recently, Grandma got run Over by a Reindeer. It's an annual thing for me. Besides, I love that movie for whatever reason.

007: Golden eye. It was so cool to see the areas in the movie that was transformed into a full level in the N64 video game. Like the ship with the stealth/EMP proof helicopter. I always thought the Golden eye was a orbital strike cannon (aka Ion Cannon.) I had no idea it was a sub-orbital Electro-Magnetic Pulse weapon until after I saw the movie.

There's no reason for the bunker level to explode like that on the N64 version. Also, Xenia is hawt.

Spoiler

Turns out 006 does not die from the fall at the end of 007 golden eye 64. The antenna cradle was suppose to crashed down on him like in the movie.

How was it? After seeing the trailer, I didn't know what to think about it

 

[Sauk]

It was terrible.

Everything in it reminded me of a cheesy disney "suspense" moment that you could predict from the moment the opening titles hit.

 

[moog]

really? i heard it was really good :c

 

[Sauk]

I wouldn't recommend spending the 10 dollars to see it, however, you guys may like the movie.

I just found the concept to be rather silly, and didn't find the suspenseful moments / shocking revelations to be that suspenseful or shocking. I went with my family after a delicious dinner at The Keg, and my dad jokingly predicted the next event during one of the scenes. His joke ended up actually occurring in the film.

 

[Ellie]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Oh, my god. That was... intense. But very good. In a mentally disturbing way.

 

[coyotecraft]

Underworld: Awakening

Spoiler

It wasn't that good. Humans know about vampire and lycans, its never explained how. Selene gets frozen for 12years then wakes up to discover she has a daughter that she shares a telepathic link with. And that's just the first 20mins. At least it wasn't all dark blue like the last movie. Now that I think about it, I didn't catch any of the new characters names. I might have missed the part where her daughter got a real name other then "subject #2".

^^^^^

I saw The Grey today, and hmm... not sure how I feel about it, it was good, but bad at the same time, it's sort of a mixed bag really...

 

[Venetia]

sort of ... grey?


A week or so ago, Sam & I watched BRONSON for the 1st time.

Holy god DAMN that movie was SO F'ING GOOD JESUS CHRISTMANS

so WEIRD but so freaking YEEAAAH

Tom Hardy is apparently just ... the fucking MAN god DAMN

 

[Jason]

I've met Tom Hardy before, just saying :shades:

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

War Horse.

However, I will abstain from commenting this movie, since the DVD was scratched, and I think I might have missed an important part during the middle of a movie. That is to say, much of the symbolism was lost, and I didn't really get the movie's ending. From what I did see, it seemed like a fairly decent movie, but I wouldn't say Movie of the Year.

 

[Pokémaniac]

The new Muppets movie.

Holy crap, did not expect that to be so good!

 

[9robin3]

The Tree of Life! A very beautiful and deep movie about love / hate / childhood / mother, fatherhood and the exestential
questions about life. I would give it 5/5 ^^

 

[Misery]

Tinker taylor soldier spy

It took some following but it was good

 

[Spoo]

Anyone watched Chronicle yet? It's on my list but I'm me so obv I don't have enough of a life.
