Really? XD Maybe I'm just kinda dumb then. ._. D=

Well I didn't get it either but the truth is that the trailer suggests
Spoiler:

that DiCaprio's character is loosing his mind and becomes obsessed.

[Canas Renvall]

^That's exactly what I said from the trailer. Have yet to see it though, so we'll see.

[Mr. Ashford]

Recently saw Michelangelo Antonioni's film, 'Blow-Up'.

I give it a wtf/10.

The ones shown in theatres gave no hints, but the more recent ones do, as I've seen from TV last night.

I saw The Crazies today. Um, I had Resident Evil: Outbreak flashbacks. Let's leave it at that. XD

500 Days Of Summer

Even if you don't like romantic comedies this is a fantastic movie.

My friend went to go see that and in like an hour or so his facebook status was

"I saw The Crazies, the only thing crazy about it was how I was crazy enough to sit through it"

So I'm gonna guess its a shitty movie.

More like Left 4 Dead than RE, at least from what I heard.

Do yourself a favor and don't see his later film Zabriskie Point. Kinda meanders off into more symbolic presentation, and not effectively IMO (not unlike Blow Up I guess). Didn't Blow Up end with a bunch of nude people at that park David Hemming saw the murder?

I would suggest you see George Romero's The Crazies; I can't even understand why they remade it, as it has absolutely no status even compared to Night or Dawn of the Dead, let alone by itself. Nonethless the characters are well developed and there's a really nice sense of paranoia when you're dealing with a potentially contagious disease that...makes you go nuts and violent. A little more subtle than the disease in the 28...Later series but still great.

Wait a second. The Crazies is a remake of a George Romero movie? Holy shit I had no idea.

My point exactly.

So I just saw the 1954 film Twenty Four Eyes, directed by Kinoshita Keisuke. I feel quite lucky to have classes well equipped for films, because if I had been seeing this on a small screen, I don't think I would stay awake. It's about a teacher and her 12 students from a pre-WWII to a MacArthur Occupation perspective. At 2 and a half hours a lot of time is distributed well to give most of the characters a fair stage. While it's great to see all of 'em grow and change, the film, like a lot of old flicks from Japan takes its time with shots and scenes. Maybe I wasn't prepared for it.

[nemesiswontdie]

Yeah i had no idea it was a remake either.

Bang on the money, amazing film.

Watched Sin City last night. So good. I almost hate myself for having waited so long to watch it!

[aris13]

And now you're going to hate the filmakers for postponing the shooting of Sin City 2. Apparently Rodriquez and Miller are too busy, Rodriquez is making Spy Kids flicks and Miller is trying to regroup after the failure of the Spirit.

Eh, it's ANY general premise of a citywide infection, and the protagonists must get away before the EVILZ of the government nuke the city. ><

[kiedistidus]

went to see shutter island on monday,it was good if a tad predictable another positive performance from dicaprio I'm starting to take a shine to that guy.

Finally watched apocalypse now for the first time and loved it,surprisingly I preferred sheen and his crews performances to brandos(brando was one of the main reasons i wanted to watch it)also robert duvall was brilliant.

[aris13]

Apocalypse Now is a masterpiece and one of my favorite films. Brando is brilliant but Duvall is the scene stealer of the film.

Yeah I'm trying to get hold of the outfit with duvall in it I hear its a good watch.

oh and managed to watch the last detail with jack nicholson and randy quaid which I really enjoyed.

next on my list is 5 easy pieces with nicholson again, from the little bits ive already seen it looks like nicholson at his best.

"I'm the goddamn shore patrol motherfucker, I'm the goddamn shore patrol".

[kiedistidus]

"I'm the goddamn shore patrol motherfucker, I'm the goddamn shore patrol".

lol
The scene with the water canteen and the guy with his guts hanging out is brilliant and lets not forget "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"

[Inferno04]

Advent Children Complete. Sheds more light on the story, and who just doesn't want to see MORE anyway if you actually enjoyed the original? (Guilty. It's a guilty pleasure.)

Also, "RUDE! You and your big mouth!" *Dies*
