Watched From Dusk Till Dawn today. Pretty good movie albeit a little cheesy, though I guess anything involving QT will probably be cheesy. Basically it’s about 2 bank robbers and their hostages that go to a strip club run by vampires and they have to get out.
“Love Me If You Dare”, or “Jeux d’enfants”.
Wow. Rarely does an ending fulfill the beginning quite so well. I am still thinking about it and the intentional frustration felt during the whole middle of the movie!
District B-13 Ultimatum. Very good, but a bit too similar to the first. Well, one does not change a winning recipe, eh?
I went and saw District 9 today between classes. Not because I was really interested in it, but mainly to see what all the hype was about. I really hate shaky-cam style videos like cloverfield, and I have no real interest in mockumentary videos, so the first hour or so seemed a bit boring to me. I’ve also been feeling really Sci-fi-ed out lately, so every time I saw a the aliens, or the typical scifi weapons I just groaned a little.
But when the gore started happening, I started gaining interest, as shallow as that may sound. It really seemed to pick up when the arm was revealed, and the tests began. Everything from then on was pretty good, not amazing, but well done. The ending seemed to drag on, but a combination of me going to be late for class, and my stomach ache might have had a little something to do with that.
My favorite parts, were when the marines were being blown to bits by the alien weaponry. I was laughing way harder then I probably should have been (like when the arm got stomped), but damn I love seeing marines get killed. Killing marines was also the only thing I really liked about 28 Days Later. I guess Half-Life is partly to blame for that.
Similar in the sense that they fight and run around jumping and stuff? Because that’s the premise of the movie.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m guessing thats the main similarity.
Then I won’t spoil you but let’s say that there’s more similarity than that.
two words, megaupload
search megaupload using filestube or 4megaupload
And you can watch without downloading using MegaVideo (only works if you have a dynamic IP)

Even though your avatar is of a space odysee I thought it was Dr.Lecter.
Oh yeah, I saw this retarded movie Crash the other day,Its probably the stupidest movie Ive ever seen, seriously, watch it. Its like half porno and half random garbage that makes no sense. People fucking in car wrecks, WTF?
Just watched The Way of the Gun on DVD again. Fucking brutal, insane, and fucking awesome. I love that movie so much. It is one of my favorite gun-action movies ever (as opposed to martial arts). Everything in the movie happens for a reason, and every character’s reasons make sense to their character. And the action is fucking superb. I just love the way Del Toro and Philipe handle their weapons. Someone really trained them how to act in combat situations. Fucking badass.
And I just noticed that the credits claim to be in alphabetical order, but they aren’t anywhere near that. Fucking hilarious
Just watched a documentary called American Movie it was about an amateur filmmaker’s attempt to make his vision of a horror movie, it was really good. The whole thing is on Crackle if you don’t mind sitting through the 15 second commercials that happen every 10 minutes or so.
I watched 9. It wasn’t as good as it could have been… I think all of its problems could have been solved were it a half hour longer.
It was shitty movie Sunday so I watched Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist it wasn’t bad had a good soundtrack I was expecting it to be much worse.
Crocodile Dundee
Funny you should have watched that- it was actually shot right around where I live. I’ve met Mark Borchardt, the subject, and edited film I shot on the very same machine you see him working early into the morning on. Weird, huh?
Crocodile Dundee awsome film I think two is better tho. You know I think paul hogan wrote and directed the first one.
last fiml i watched was I am legand it was pretty good, didn’t like the hollywood ending, 28 days later better.
Run Lola Run, pretty entertaining. Fast-paced, clearly, and if you look too deeply into it, it will look philosophical.
The Lives Of Others, yet another German movie. Excellent job of recreating the East German setting. The main character was ominously likeable… which I enjoyed. It’s a lengthy drama with a rather conclusive ending, where things actually get wrapped up after the main plot is done with.
The book’s ending was infinitely better, and it’s only a short read, so I recommend giving it a go.
I agree, pretty good movie. It’s unbelievable that they actually did all that stuff.
Personally I think all Cronenberg movies are over-rated. He’s just a mediocre horror film maker with added pretentiousness. John Carpenter in his prime did that sort of thing far better but without the art-house pretensions.
I reckon what happens is he gets attacked by puritans for being ‘disgusting’ and a moral outrage so others feel obliged to rally round and defend his ‘artistic merit’, when actually he doesn’t have that much.
