Anyone who hasn't seen it should definitely watch P.T. Anderson's The Master. Really great performances all around, especially by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Just watched Hours with Paul Walker, and while it wasn't a masterpiece, I thought it was a great movie and Walker really turns in one of his best, most emotional, and unfortunately last performances. In it he plays a newly widowered father that has to keep his baby alive by manually cranking a battery connected to the baby's ventilator in an abandoned hospital after Hurricane Katrina. A nail-biting thriller with an appropriately emotional core.

K. Waste posted:Jackass Number Two has the distinction of not only being wall-to-wall good pranks but also being a really great document of white youth masculine culture after the turn of the century. Eschewing the scatalogical gags misses the point entirely, in the same way that it's indispensable to Chaucer's accurate representation of the vulgarity of the revellers who go to kill Death. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite posters, K. Waste. Thanks for elucidating what I've been trying to tell people about the Jackass series for years, but have never been able to phrase quite like you did. Especially the Chaucer connection, holy poo poo.

I've never seen Jackass 2, but if the only thing it has in common with The Canterbury Tales is fart jokes then I'm not sure the comparison is warranted.

I hate to say it but I am really enjoying The New Girl. If you hate Zooey Deschanel doing her manic pixie dream girl shtick the show probably won't change your mind but I'd say give it a chance because the writing and jokes are pretty solid. Can anyone recommend some true crime documentaries? I ended up marathoning the HBO documentary series Autopsy yesterday and I found it so fascinating and want to find more stuff like that.

For the first few episodes the emphasis is mostly on her (which I didn't mind but some will), but what happens is they figure out ways to make the guys in her apartment equally weird and amusing. It takes a while for some (notably Lamorne Morris' character Winston, though he always gives it his all) but the ensemble really carries it. Deschanel carries her weight but it's a team effort.

I think New Girl might be the funniest TV show I've seen in years. Brilliant character-based absurdist humour. It's so well written that they even managed to get a Wayans to be funny. Comedy is subjective, so I'm sure there are plenty of people that hate it passionately, but it's given me a lot of proper belly laughs.

I won't have you disparage Damon Wayans Jr. He was hilarious on Happy Endings and Let's Be Cops was better than it should have been. Also Wayans were funny once upon a time. I Going To Git You Sucka and the seasons of In Loving Color before Keenen Ivory Wayans left were hilarious.

Damon Wayans Jr. was fantastic in Happy Ending too. There was a reason New Girl immediately picked him back up.

Just watched Bernie thanks to this thread. Pretty entertaining, but there's not really that much plot. Mostly just great for the opportunity to gawk at this small town and enjoy another excellent Matthew McConaughey performance.

Unfortunately it's the most hackneyed remake of B13 you could expect. RZA in particular gives a really terrible performance that manages to suggest absolutely nothing about his character other than him being a badman.

It's produced by Besson and his company and Belle is in it, but that's it. Otherwise it's an uninspired copy of the original where all the minute changes are for the worse. And the acting is really, really bad.

New Girl is great until about 4 episodes from the end of the latest season that is on Netflix. They drop the ball pretty hard, in my opinion.

Sabotage wasn't a good film but it's highly entertaining. Olivia Williams was on some next-level poo poo and Arnold does good work. This is the second film I've liked Worthington in, the other being The Debt. He displays a wounded goodness that works with these characters. I don't know why they didn't cast Cirian Hinds as the older Martin Csokas tho.

Recommending The One I Love. It’s something like a contemporary version of The Stepford Wives that nearly fumbles the ball but totally wins over in the end.

So I'm about 20 minutes in to Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning and it's not bad so far, but that scene in the brothel with the excessive strobe lights needed an epilepsy warning in front of it. I'm not epileptic but couldn't that poo poo happening out of the blue for so long do some damage?

The third season really goes off the rails once they can't figure out what to do with Jess's and Nick's relationship and Winston in general. The current fourth season though sorta reboots everything and the show is very much back on track.

The Conformist went up on Netflix in the past few days. If you've never seen it, you should drop whatever it is you're doing and watch it. If you have seen it, that's still pretty solid advice.

I use to rip on my friend for watching New Girl, than one day he made me sit through an episode. It was the Prince house party one in season three and I was instantly hooked. Zooey can get annoying at times, but the show really is about the other guy roommates. I watched Dredd over the holiday weekend for probably the fifth time now, still never gets old. It's the best action movie of the past decade and I can never stress how everyone needs to see it. One day in the life of Dredd, just a quick drug bust and back home before the sun goes down. I also finished Lilyhammer season 3 and can't stress how much anyone who remotely likes the show should avoid it. I liked seasons 1 and 2, they were fun even if they were a bit stupid at times. Season 3 is a jumbled mess of what feels like writers trying to cram fifty different stories into 8 episodes. It is confusing and boring at the same time. If you liked the first two season, do yourself a favor and do not watch the new one.

A River Runs Through It is a great movie about some guys fishing in 1920s Montana. Featuring early Brad Pitt, and VERY early JGL. I should mention that it is on Netflix streaming. Pycckuu fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Nov 30, 2014 |

I finally got around to watching Red Cliff on Netflix. Pretty fun to watch overall. Just a buncha generals being bros and a shitload of good costume / set work. Overall the entire thing is completely predictable and the characters are 1 dimensional but I don't think the story was ever striving for character development. Worth a watch if you want to see some beautiful landscapes and nice costume / period stuff.

The current fourth season though sorta reboots everything and the show is very much back on track. I agree re: third season. The first two seasons successfully marginalized Jess and made the show about Nick and Schmidt's bromance. The third season threw that all away and it was terrible.
