Franchescanado posted:If you can't enjoy a low-budget kung-fu movie that starts with a fight scene set to Wu-Tang Clan's "Shame on a Nigga", then you won't like it. I didn't go into it for acting. I went in it for weird characters, costumes, fight scenes and hip-hop music, and had a good time. There are worse ways to spend two hours. See, it's one of those things that sounds potentially great on internet paper, but when you watch the real thing it feels like a giant lovely joke.

Hubbardologist posted:Finally watched Kill List. I watched A Field in England a while back and really enjoyed it. Have to rewatch to appreciate them more fully, but Michael Smiley is just awesome as hell in both, and the director, Ben Wheatley, and his production crew (I guess? Don't really understand how movies are made, but it feels like a lot of the same people were behind the camera) craft a fantastic visual and auditory experience. A lot of aesthetically pleasing shots, mixed in with unsettling scores. Really glad I went into both of them blind. Have you watched Black Mirror? He's really good in that, too. You owe it to yourself to watch Sightseers now, which is the funniest of all of Wheatley's stuff.

I watched Faults last night and thought it was a pretty decent directorial debut. The only reason I'm mentioning it here is because an hour later I saw a commercial for it being available on demand to rent for $5 on Xfinity, and I have a big crush on Mary Elizabeth Winstead who was great in it.

Namirsolo posted:Life Itself, the Roger Ebert documentary, is on Netflix now. It's great and has some hilarious clips of him and Siskel. It's a celebration of his life, but parts of it are pretty painful and made me cry. I really miss that man. And it's directed by the guy who did Hoop Dreams - loving perfect!

forever whatever posted:Just watched There Will Be Blood for the first time and drat, Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis are forces of nature. It was fascinating watching Daniel's character managed to have entire towns bend to his will in moving towards his capitalist vision. The other actors did well too but it really is Lewis's movie. I can't believe it took me this many years to watch it. I think you'd like Nightcrawler Edit: poo poo, not the "recommend me" thread. Either way, it's worth the $1.50 at Redbox, for sure.

Yeah it's definitely more of a black comedy but filmed like a mockumentary that appeals to horror fans.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:I would agree with you. many here would not. there's about a half dozen found footage movies I like but I'm very done with it as a genre. I haven't seen MBD in at least a decade, but I can't remember if there were any of those interview shots with the killer where he would give some exposition that are so common in mock/documentaries. That definitely makes it seem more "found footage-y", but yeah it's totally a mockumentary.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:there's a ton of those. a big chunk of the movie is interviews with the lead character, albeit often while he's in the process of murdering somebody. No I mean like where they would actually cut away to a sit-down interview at any point, really. I definitely remember a lot of the in-the-act exposition the lead would give.

Chichevache posted:You know, if you're willing to suspend your disbelief and roll with it Burn Notice is pretty drat fun. The first three seasons or so have fantastic car stunts and explosions. It is a pretty good show for turning off your brain and having some basic fun. Really my only major complaint is that Fiona suffers from a rather extreme case of plot-convenient retardation. Also the show quality dips pretty strongly around season 4 or so when they switch to absolutely terrible CGI. Yeah, but in season 5 they bring in Jere Burns (Anson) who is almost as awesome a villain as Tim Matheson (Larry)!

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:The pilot has Fiona with an amazing Irish accent. I think it's her natural accent, but man it's out there. She makes a quip about it in the first episode and goes to regular english. Have you watched "The Good Guys"? (Also made by Matt Nix). It's a buddy cop comedy show with Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks playing detectives who work for the Dallas PD in the property crimes division. Kind of a bummer it only lasted 1season (on FOX), when I think it could have really done well, or at least better on USA. It had a lot of heart, and Bradley Whitford pretty much knocks it out of the park all the time, and if you're in to BN there is no doubt you'd like this show.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:Well, that's because of Larry's tutelage, and his history of child abuse. He sees a world full of two kinds of people: the abusers and those that get abused and can't do anything about. He watches his dad beat his mom for years and her just roll over and do nothing because she was afraid. Michael's purpose is to basically murder anyone that hurts others. It's why when he joined the army they gave him a psych test and decided he can become an operative, his morality is perfectly tuned to be willing to do whatever it takes to protect those that can't protect themselves, including killing them. I don't think that he really enjoyed it, though, that's why hey brought Simon in, because he was basically Michael, but he enjoyed violence as recreation. I totally forgot about Simon, drat! I think I just need to just rewatch that season again, because Garret Dillahunt is the man.

BJPaskoff posted:I really liked it until it went off the rails. I read that the original script was based around a soldier returning from a war and his PTSD causing him to carry out a complicated revenge plot against a family. I liked that his "mission" was to protect his army bro's family; I just wish it didn't end with him going all scorched earth, that was ridiculous. Enjoyable until the last half hour though. Him actively trying to fight his programming to go scorched earth on everyone was so awesome. Especially culminating in the scene where he gets stabbed in the back with the butterfly knife he gave Luke earlier ("just in case") and ending in him recreating the scene which led him to escape custody in the first place. Also, during that whole part, he played the mix cd that Anna made for him over the PA. I loved the poo poo out of this movie and the soundtrack/score are beyond good.

RE: Justified, I never got tired of hearing Walton Goggins play Boyd and aside from the Michael Rappaport season, all of the guest villains have been pretty much top-notch (even Mike O'Malley). I really love that small town-feel and setting, so I'm a huge fan of the show.

remigious posted:I've watched the first two episodes of American Horror Story: Freak Show and so far it is missing the mark for me. How did you guys feel about it? Does it get better? The characters are consistently making incredibly stupid decisions that make no sense and it is annoying. I was really looking forward to watching this There are a few standout moments (Twisty the clown's story and everything involving Dandy mainly) but overall I think it is about as bad if not worse than Coven.

I finally got to watch The Hitcher last night (Comcast on-demand) with Rutger Hauer & C Thomas Howell and was kind of let down. I thought Hauer and Howell were both very good in their respective roles, but something about the pacing of the movie made it feel super long. I did love the Central Texas setting, and I felt like parts of it could have inspired No Country For Old Men (Cat and mouse fighting, 80's Texas location/costuming, hyper violence, unstoppable boogeyman).X-Ray Pecs posted:He said no jump scares, but The Babadook does that kinda stuff great. The Babadook rules. Are there any horror movies made in the past 30 years that don't have jump scares of any kind?

Basebf555 posted:There's an all-time great jump scare in Under the Skin, which is one of the most interesting, creative, and visually impressive sci fi films of the past 20 years. So if you're completely against all jump scares you'll miss out on some great stuff. People who are super against jump scares always seem to be the type of people who never admit when a movie really scares them, and feel jump scares are really cheap because they can be super effective even when telegraphed a mile away. Jacob's Ladder doesn't have any jump scares? Maybe it's time for a rewatch.

neonnoodle posted:Woodwright's Shop is 100% better than New Yankee Workshop, and I say this as a lifetime fan of NYW. The Woodwright's Shop is so anarchist and crunchy that it gives me hope for a post-apocalyptic human settlement. The host is also educated as gently caress and talks about 18th-century woodworking books. Roy makes some awesome poo poo, but there's something hypnotic to me about the combination of Norm's accent and the sound of power tools that I really love.
