Recently Seen Films

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Ive been really into my horror films recently. So I decided to watch Haloween last night. I enjoyed it to some extent but I found it too dated to really enjoy it. However It did inspire me to go on a horror film rampage so I wernt out and bought a Hitchcock box set with four films including Psycho and the Birds. Cant wait to get stuck into that.

I am sorry you had to see the terrible, terrible performance by "Dexter" in that film. Even I could pull a southern accent better than Michael C. Hall, he belongs in Dexter and that is it.

The only thing I liked about Gamer was the first scene of the film; the battle in the streets. That was pretty awesome.

Oh, I agree...His southern accent this time around was very inconsistent. He does it occassionally in Season 4 of Dexter when he's calling into the department trying to disguise who he is, and honestly, it's not half bad. I can still tell he's definitely not southern (even though if I remember right Michael C. Hall is from North Carolina). Overall, it was an okay movie; I didn't really go into it expecting too much...

I will probably be watching some Invader Zim in the next few minutes. I have just now discovered this show via the Netflix. I've heard of it for years, but just now started watching it. I LOVE IT! FILTHY HUMANS! I AM NORMAL!

Awesome movie, see it as soon as you can, you won't be disappointed! These kind of movies are what keeps that little flicker of hope i have in the movie industry burning.

I'll try to check that one out, I love Japanese cinema.

The King's Speech.

Colin Firth has been Oscar nominated for this one. I love this man's acting. The 2011 Oscars are going to be very interesting!

^^^ Just found out that the guy above is not Russell Crowe.

[Trent]

Really? How did you find out? Why would they use a stunt double?

[aris13]

Perhars that scene was filmed in reshoots and Russell Crowe wasn't available.

Same sort of thing happened with Blade Runner, the scene where Deckard's examining the bathtub in Leon's apartment. They hired a stunt actor who resembles Ford, then filmed that sequence in England.

That's where I found out that it wasn't Russell.

I was listening to the Ridley Scott commentary track from the Blade Runner DVD the other day. And at one point, Ridley starts talking about Gladiator. And he mentions that scene on the wheat field. Where they were running some test shots with a stand-in. He was impressed when the stand-in started to brush the crop with his hand. Because without knowing it, the stand-in was emphasising the fact that Maximus was a farmer that was deeply in love with his land. So Ridley made that test shot part of the film.

Wow, I never knew that cheers Pikminister

My god! Finally got around to watching Resident Evil Afterlife and fuck me was it shit! and thats coming from some one who actually enjoyed the last film. I swear that half of this damned film was in slow motion, the acting from Wesker was really poor and the effects were some of the worst ive seen in a long time.
I'd give this film about a 3/10, honestly it was that poor.

127 Hours 10/10

Stunning direction by Danny Boyle and a terrific performance from James Franco.

I saw it when it was in very selected theaters and it was amazing. I didn't think I'd like it but I was very wrong. I cant wait to get it on blu-ray.

I loved the ending in 127 hours, with Sigur Ros playing and the helicopter landing.

[Mr. Spencer]

Air Force One and Basic Instinct.

I have been watch a bunch of movies for the past weeks.

First of all, I watched a marathon of Harry Potter films with my brother, who is a member of the forums, after he finished the final book of the series, he suggested that we should the whole series before we get to watch the second part of the final film, which will be coming somewhere around June of this year, of course. Personally, I enjoy watching the first book till the fourth, because it is very charming and I feel more enlightening when watching the four films. But then I felt that the film become more darker and less charming and cheering when the series hit the fifth film. But that is just me.

Other than that, I watched 127 hours. It is a nice film, I got to say. But my mom finds it unbearable, since, she is not use to this kind of film, where the protagonist is trapped somewhere and has no choice but to do something really bad or nasty in order to be free.

Plus, I watched Watchmen in dvd. It is a great film.

Sounds like she'll love the Saw films.

[kmac22]

Green Hornet. It's an okay movie.

[Trent]

Everybody's Fine.

Good movie about family, realistically filmed and a brilliant performance by Mr. De Niro. Kind of depressing too.

Talking of depressive films, has anyone seen What Dreams May Come from 1998? The reason I ask is that someone mentioned it at the IMDB forums, and nostalgia hit me.

True Grit 10/10

Another well crafted film by the Coen brothers with overall great performaces, sharp dialogue and beatiful cinematography by Roger Deakins.
