Unfortunately, I don't think Winter's Bone is going home with anything.

I know but at least it was nominated, and that's a big deal for a small budget film.

I keep hearing about this movie, mostly because the lead girl is from my town (louisville). My girlfriend watched it and said it was awesome, I might give it a try. I went to the movies twice this weekend and saw "Biutiful" and "Just go with it". Biutiful was really good and depressing(one in the same?), with some pretty creepy parts along the way and I hope Javier Bardem at least gets an oscar nod for his haunting performance.

"Just go with it" was suprisingly funny, even hilarious at times. There's a few dull moments where the light piano keys begin to play and cheesy love plots ensue, but for the most part the movie reminded me of the older sandler flicks like "The Wedding Singer". This is by no means a classic but a big step up from several previous Sandler movies, other than "Funny People" which was a win/win combination to start with.

I've watched Zombie Strippers. I still would like to have those 94 minutes of my life back.

I_Am_Nemesis, is that quote in your signature from Gladiator?

Yeah it is, Maximus says it near the end of the film. I hope i've got the quote correct though because I think its meant to say " all a man" not "All that man".

Also talking about these poor films reminds me of a film I found on Xbox Live called "Killer Condom!!!" which I was tempted to actually watch. I kind of enjoy watching pure, basic, horrible films. Meh I get a kick out of them.

To the best of my memory it is "all a man can do, is smile back".

Ah crap, thought it might be. Cheers anyway I'll just have to sort that out.

Well I finally got around to see Pans Labryinth and it was pretty damn good. Not quite what I was expecting but still great. Although I really didn't like that faun, he just did not look trust worthy!

Pan's Labyrinth is great! Not the usual that you might expect from such a film.

It is an EXCELLENT movie
What do u mean by "Not the usual that you might expect from such a film."??

[Trent]

For me it seemed very dark for its genre, but that is what I loved about it.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

I expected it to be dark I just expected it to be a bit more like the film Labryinth, you know with the young girl getting lost in there and meeting magical creatures along the way. The film spent a lot more time in the real world than it did in the fantasy world. Not that this bothered me in the slightest though.

Damn..... And I thought Zombie Strippers was bad. To be fair these types of movies are always good to watch with a bunch of mates and some beers for a good laugh.

Stupid exploading monitor...this was a Japanese No Budget movie. When the credits at the start tell you that a single guy was responsible for the 'Special Effect' they're not joking. Bar blood and, I kid not, jelly dumped a girls neck to simulate a neck wound the flamethrowing vagina was pretty much it. Or, the sushi flying off the plate...because everything came back to life.

On the plus side, it's 70 minutes long and I laughed so hard I believe I passed out. It doesn't take itself even remotely seriously, and did a much funnier job of it than Zombie Strippers did.

Other highlights include;

- The same 'bonk' noise used everytime a zombie gets smacked on the head, regardless of what they're actually hitting them with. Count them all!
- The strippers running over an old guy on the off chance he might be a zombie. Apparently, it was hard to tell if he was dead or not before the outbreak...
- The scariest midget in the world.
- It's in 3D too. Old, red and green 3D at that!

Still, it is utterly hilarious if you fancy something to amuse yourself.

Mary and Max. Very good and sad animation. A definite recommendable watch, it moved me.

Next I will see is the famous "Life of Brian". Yes, I've never seen it.

I've primarily been watching Japanese and Thai horror films, they are REALL good.

I admire your courage.

Love this thread, I'm spending my time here lately because the work I am doing at the moment requires a lot of time dragging, and movies are quite excellent at that.

Ok now I must see this movie! sounds like a total riot! Reminds me of this other japanese zombie film I watched which involved a lesbian scene and a crazy zombie teacher that would decapitate the living with a couple of meter rulers he carried around like swords. I think it was called something like japanese school girl swim team vs zombie ninjas or somthing else along those toally ridiculous lines.

Talking about terrible movies has anyone else seen ten million B.C.? its terrible and not even terrible in a funny way just a completely cringy why the hell would any one make this kind of way.

I have discovered a youtube video of Bit Tits Zombies (hey, I get things wrong) and decided to share it with you. Please note - this is a movie about zombies and strippers. It's not safe for work. It's also not safe for anyone under the age of 782, but that's another deal entirely.

No, seriously. Not safe for work.Spoiler:

The Road

Now I'm mad at you, Oscars. T_T

That was quite the story. Was a bit shitty watching it in the cinema, though. A lot of people didn't like the mood of the movie and desperately tried to suppress any and all emotional reaction they had to it.

No wonder people are increasingly watching more dumb films in the last couple of years.

^Unfortunately the film picked too early and the studio didn't really pushed it.

Cyrus.

I regret that I watched this film, did not like it.

Dinner for Schmucks.

Funny film, but nothing special.

[BrionIrons]

Watching the Football Factory(2005)Funny thing is Rockstar Games produced this movie.

Due Date.

Definitely funny film. Not as good as The Hangover, but I really enjoyed it. The Robert Downey Jr. sarcastic/intelligent character was a good combination with Zach Galifianakis' comedy.

Pan's Labyrinth is a fairy tale. And true fairy tales are usually dark.

I understand why you would think it was too dark, though. Since most people are of the idea that the film is of the same genre as Narnia/Harry Potter or the Disney Fairy Tales flicks. Nope. Its not for kids.

Exactly!
