Just watched Rich Hill on Netflix. It's like Terrence Malick filming the working poor - a very strange combination of beauty and disorder that works pretty well.ravenkult posted:Can I get some recs for movies similar to Rear Window?

Pirates showed up in my list- the best I can describe it is korean Pirates of the Carribean meets Moby Dick. A whale swallows the royal seal for a newly conquered country, which triggers a race between bandits and pirates to catch the whale. It's nothing really special in terms of story, but it has a decent production value and it is fun to watch. If you've got two hours to spare, can deal with subtitiles and want a fun movie you really can't go wrong with Pirates Fishstick fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Mar 29, 2015 |

Just watched Housebound on 'Flix. loving outstanding movie. Made in New Zealand, it's about a 20-something woman who is a petty criminal and gets sentenced to 8 months of house arrest with her parents in the house she grew up in... which happens to be haunted. This is one of the best "horror" movies I have ever seen. It tends to be light-hearted and it's clever but not in a heavy-handed way. Hard to pigeon-hole this flick. The movie changes directions at least twice and you won't see it coming. I would put this one in my top-10 best "horror" movies I've ever seen. Also had 5-stars on Netflix this afternoon.

I really wanted to like that movie more. I think it could have been great if it had been ballsy enough to have no voice over. Without it, it could have been a slow and largely dialogue free movie that I feel I could have drawn some pretty cool themes from. The voice over however kind of ruins this by shoving some really, really dumb themes down the viewers throat making it clear that the movie is just kind of uninteresting at best, and dumb at the worst.

I watched The Cable Guy because it was going off of Netflix. A few funny scenes, and it wasn't boring, but I wasn't huge on it, other than feeling like it kind of felt like a precursor to Nightcrawler in a weird way. Also everything after Chip jumps off the tower and into the satellite dish felt very out of place and seemed like too much of a standard happy ending. I don't usually go for Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge theories, but I kind of feel like one would work here.

My initial reactions were pretty positive because, as you noted, it's a really god damned pretty movie and it does do alot of things correctly. I think it's just my memory of that stuff has faded and all that's remained has been memories of going on about how man is evil because it chooses to kill unlike animals and blah blah blah

Just watched Devil's Pass on 'Flix. It's The Blair Witch Project except in Russia. I think it is better than TBWP and has a more satisfying ending. As always (I'm looking at you, Apollo 18), you wonder how the found footage got found.

Just watched VHS Viral and I didn't hate it?  It is certainly a total departure from the first two films, so much so that I wouldn't even recognize it as being part of the franchise if it weren't the loving title. Maybe I just didn't suffer from high expectations, particularly since the entire thread bashed it earlier, but I had a lot of fun watching it. Nothing scary in this movie, nothing even really worth calling horror. But that, to me, does not make it a bad film. VHS 3 felt coherent, like there was something it was trying to say. Maybe they didn't achieve it in a satisfactory manner, but they definitely weren't just throwing blood and death at a screen. There is purpose here, something to do with reversals of fortune and subverting expectations, I just haven't decided what it is yet. If you want another VHS, then this definitely is not the film for you. If you want to shut your brain off and watch some kinda fun poo poo that comes out of nowhere, this movie is pretty solid. Treat it like Detention and just enjoy the spectacle. Or go total sperg and analyze the hell out of it, because that can be fun too. Whatever you do, don't go into this movie unless you really want to, because I guarantee you'll have a terrible loving time and just get mad at poor ol' Chiche. edit Samurai Jack, the greatest American saturday morning cartoon of the 2000s that isn't Johnny Bravo, is up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e51hgWIsY4M Chichevache fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Mar 30, 2015 |

Garfunkel and Oates rocks and I'm sad it's not getting renewed. Check it out. I've had a long time crush on Kate Micucci so that might skew my feelings, but she and Riki have great chemistry. In addition, all the cameo and guest stars are fantastic.

GORDON posted:As always (I'm looking at you, Apollo 18), you wonder how the found footage got found. Spoilers for Apollo 18 : I figured that they made some mention in the film of 'get the tapes, get the tapes' a few times and that there was probably a hunk of space junk floating around out there that someone could recover at some point with most/all the saved recordings in it. Several space missions if not many moon missions since then I have to admit, though, I really did like Apollo 18. It's a film that's easy to pick apart the historical, scientific and technical flaws of, but compared to Europa Report and the Last Days on Mars I think it handled the whole space survival horror thing a bit better.

Apollo 18 is a stupid, lazy waste of 86 minutes. The scenario is so idiotic they should have embraced how stupid it was and ran with it but instead chickened out and gave us that unsatisfying mess. If the ending third had turned into Evil-Dead-2-on-the-moon I would have forgiven it. Mining axes as weapons! Space zombies! Strap a rocket to the moon buggy! Zero-g combat with a giant rock monster! Just do something more interesting than a limp collection of insipid jump scares.

It's not exactly high art, but Blue Bloods is a fun little police show. It's about a family with a new cop, a detective, a police commisioner, a retired cop and an ADA. It's great background noise for work and it's filled the police procedreal hole in my heart that Law and Order's absence left. I could do without the corny as gently caress ~family dinners~ that are basically "Let's have a thinly veiled debate on this episodes issue!" but thats my only real issue.

GORDON posted:Just watched Housebound on 'Flix. drat that was enjoyable! Not what I expected at all going in. I can see it getting passed over because the title, Netflix image, and synopsis are so generic-horror-movie. IMDB has a remake listed for 2016, which I don't understand. New Line is remaking a movie that won't even be two years old when the remake comes out. They'll probably ruin the film by having the characters who almost die actually die, or stick closer to the synopsis instead of having multiple twists in the plot.
