Re-Animator is a fun horror-comedy with lots of gore and nudity The Punisher is up again, it's a solid violent half-drunk watch Snowpiercer is divisive, but it's unique, stylish, and extremely political if that's your bag

Goddamn bronze hat formation! how can any Kung-fu practicioner fight with all that light in his eyes? Those tricky loving ninjas better get what's coming to them before this night is over. 5 Elements Ninjas is an amazing start to my night. thanks for the recommendation. I'm still deciding what comes next, but you guys have thrown a lot of great options out there.

I guess in my head I was remembering it being more like In Bruges but the way it's shot was like neausiating. Just finished Beasts of No Nation. Pretty good

Is What We do in the Shadows available to rent anywhere? All I can find is a buy option and it's been out for months. I finally got around to watching a trailer for it and it looks funny as gently caress. Edit: Oh wow it went up on UK netflix this week, but the US gets nothing.

Hot fuzz does do a triple-cut-film-fade effect which goes about 15% too over the top in the action sequences. But I love the movie.

I think it's funny as hell but glad to see someone understands how it could be obnoxious too. Going in expecting In Bruges would be a disaster of course. In Bruges is excellent, but very much its' own thing. Man, that's a good film.

I don't think Hot Fuzz and Sean of the Dead and that other one were bad but I also don't think they are the height of comedy like some people. They just kind of exist.

Hot Fuzz isn't great because it's merely funny (though it is that), it's great because of how ridiculously immaculate the presentation is. It does satire so subtly and so well that it could be read as not even being a satire at all.

Hot Fuzz is easily one of the best comedies of the past decade and it's held up marvelously on every rewatch I've given it.

morestuff posted:I like Hot Fuzz but subtle is not a word I'd use to describe it The satire is subtle, especially if you've not seen some of the films it references. The actual script has a lot of stuff that is not at all subtle, like Dalton's entire character, but that's not exactly what I'm talking about.

It does satire so subtly and so well that it could be read as not even being a satire at all. It wastes almost no space because every moment of the film is moving the story along, setting up a joke, or playing out a punchline. It's not really subtle, but rather very dense and loaded. It's also well-shot, and I can count the number of good-looking comedies I've seen on one hand.

Yeah that's pretty much what I was getting at, it's one of those films that has no fat to trim, every frame is crucial and every line of dialogue has like four different meanings.

There are tons of jokes in Hot Fuzz that you'll just outright miss if you're not paying full attention. It's crazy how dense that movie is.

I didn't really like sean of the dead so I wasn't super hyped for hot fuzz, but holy gently caress is that movie great. It can make you laugh with an edit or a zoom on top of having a great script, it's one of the best movies ever made, I'm not even gonna qualify it with comedy. It's just great.

The only Edgar Wright film I project that didn't blow me away was World's End, and that was out of disappointment of it merely being good. I feel like he set up an impossible task of satisfactorily wrapping up a three film series where the first two were just so damned great. I'll qualify Scott Pilgrim inasmuch as I was expecting to hate it and had a great time. I almost don't want to watch it a second time. e: I watched Spaced again recently, and I guess I don't think it's aged very well. Still a good time, though, and head and shoulders over any slacker comedy of that era. DangerDummy! fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Oct 18, 2015 |

Scott Pilgrim absolutely holds up if you liked it the first time. Same as most Wright movies, you catch a lot of things you missed the first time.
