K. Waste posted:I don't know. I agree that it's solid, obviously, and I see and hear that a lot, but I always felt the version of Noah that we got wouldn't have gained much from more of anything. It completely flies in the face of the ideological subtext of the actual Noah myth in terms of man's right to and ownership of the world via some divine covenant. And like all Biblical adaptations, the material it actually covers is rather terse and minuscule by written design, a historical record rather than a subjective narrative, so there's considerable embellishment. The result is basically a post-apocalyptic fantasy. This was an excellent review, in that it totally makes me want to watch the movie now. So, thank you. Great insight, and all that stuff.

Holy cow, I just found two new movies on Netflix that look fantastic. The Canal. I'm only 20 minutes into it, but if it's any indication, I have high hopes. Moody, dark, spooky ghosty, no stupid jump scares, just scary spooky poo poo. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. Very beautifully shot black and white foreign vampire movie. This isn't Blade, it's not even Dracula. It's even slower than Let The RIght One In. But there's something about it. I also haven't finished this one either - it was going too slowly for me right now, but I plan to return to it, even if the movie is super light on chit chat and long on perfect shots. High hopes for both of these!

Love Me is a fascinating documentary about Russian Brides (avail on Netflix) It follows a US matchmaking company and four or five of its clients; and holy poo poo. I never thought I'd watch something like that. You should check it out. I'm still not sure if the title pertains to the clients or the brides. Both, I suppose.

Could somebody explain the whole "Criterion Collection" thing to me? There's the movie, and then there's the Criterion Collection version of the movie? Have they gone back and improved the quality of the print? Are they picking only the most amazing films? edit: google does what? I am an idiot. http://www.criterion.com/about_us

These discussions of movies and poo poo are all cute but Holy christ. I'm only two minutes in and I've laughed out loud three times. Even if the movie is a turd for the other 90 minutes, it's an improvement on half the crap they've recommended. on a side note regarding The Killing, and any other series that begins with a single crime and the effort to solve that ONE, SINGLE crime. Just don't. * Unless it begins with the intention to be a single season (Fortitude, which was great). --- edit: * I know I know except for Twin Peaks but really that show wasn't about who killed Laura was it? magnificent7 fucked around with this message at 18:20 on May 20, 2015 |

K. Waste posted:To be fair, the film doesn't have to achieve this juxtaposition, and actually makes a fairly good case that this is irrelevant. The spitting irony of its inclusion of Belle Knox is that there's plenty of evidence to substantiate her belief that porn is liberating, but Hot Girls Wanted manages to dispel the significance of her supposed mainstream acceptance by contrasting it with snide teenage women calling her out for whitewashing how much degrading, uncomfortable, unprofessional poo poo they seem to believe is universal to the experiences of up-and-coming porn stars. All they can say is that she has a great publicist, which is contrasted with Riley basically just sitting on his laptop and driving them to locations, acting as a kind of glorified pimp. There was some depth to this one. Not just "it's a sex slave trade mkay" story.

Just watched to music documentaries back to back: The Bob Weir one, "The Other One", was good. I never really liked the Grateful Dead, and never had any interest to want to like them, so I expected that I'd not enjoy the movie. But I did, so, that was decent. Still didn't win me over on their music, but I love a music documentary. The Nina Simone doc, "What Happened Miss Simone?" on the other hand was great. Again - never really went nuts over her music either, but thought meh, it's significant, couldn't hurt. Now HER story was fascinating. I thought she'd died from a drug overdose in the eighties, (Jazz musicians, am I right?) but nope, she lived much longer. And she was one freaky rear end bean. So, both are good. If you like the Dead, I can't imagine that you haven't already seen The Other One. If you like music documentaries about tortured souls who go batshit insane, you will love What Happened, Miss Simone? Seriously. Go watch that poo poo. Seriously, she held a concert and encouraged the audience to go kill whitey. I poo poo you not.

Hey, speaking of scarring young kids, (from the previous page) my kids are now 10 and 12 and I've been hitting all the horrors. My rule of thumb is, "Has a similar thing happened in a Star Wars or Indiana Jones movie?" This rule comfortably includes: - dismemberment - big huge loving spiders - being frozen to death - being cut in half, beheaded, etc. - Melting into a waxy skeleton - Punching into a chest and pulling out a heart etc. etc. Of course, I DO pause the flicks occasionally to make sure they know it's all pretend. They loved Alien, Alien 2 and Prometheus. We haven't done Alien 3 yet because they've been too busy digging on the walking dead. Yes. I know. I'm raising demons.

I just watched The Guest. What the hell is wrong with you people. That's the shittiest most pointless two hours I've wasted. I kept waiting for that "Dusk Til Dawn" second half twist, or something, anything, to make the godawful poo poo show worth the effort, but no. All I got was a godawful poo poo show. I should have known when are you seriously reading a spoiler to find out when I knew this was a lovely movie? What could I possibly be hiding? That the black dude from Lost is a Military Police guy in a full length leather coat? That there's a cliche'd bar fight, gun deal gone wrong, house on the prairie shootout? I swear I kept waiting for the bad guy to turn out to be a robot, or the terminator, or something. gently caress sakes what a goddamn lovely movie. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Almost every overwhelming recommendation on here has turned out to be a fantastic movie that I would not have watched otherwise. - Nightcrawler - Driver - Hell even Snowpiercer was fun as hell. So I suppose- my blown-out reaction to The Guest was probably way over the top. Taken on its own, sure, it wasn't a bad movie; it wasn't the poo poo Sandwich of Drive. But I've come to expect a certain level of better-than-Shymalan-twists when posts on here include "see it blind!" and "You guys were right, that move was great!" (I am paraphrasing). I went in blind, but with the assumption that there'd be an unbelievable twist. Instead I was treated to throwback references like mix tapes and jamboxes without the self-awareness to support something as stupid as a burned CD mixtape in 2014. I honestly kept waiting for the MC to be a robot, or the dead son with a face lift, or some kind of Jacob's Ladder mind-gently caress as he's getting blown up on the battlefield. Something. Anything better than Chuck Norris playing Michael Meyers without the mask. That said, if I'd seen anybody say, "Do you like VanDamme flicks? Do you like the sequels to Friday 13? Do you wish they combined those?", that would've tipped me off that while lots of people will love that movie, I will not. And, yes, it does suck to be the outlier. If I'm not sheep I'm nothing.

Regarding Lost Souls, I liked it a lot, but unlike most folks, I also like the Island of Dr. Moreau. I remember when it came out, there were stories about Brando's script-via-earpiece, but that's the only craziness I heard. The rest of the movie, however, is batshit crazy on its own merit without having to know about the batshittery in the background. The mini-me was a freakshow, brando was a freakshow, Val Kilmer was crazy, it was all like a Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas goes Survivor or something. Seeing Lost Souls made me want to go back and watch the movie again.

just a heads up: THE BEAST is a steamy thriller the way MR HANDS is a steamy thriller. I wouldn't exactly say DO NOT watch The Beast. I would say, do not watch the beast with your date. (horse sex, first 5 minutes of the film. Like, hard core horse sex. what.)

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Bone Tomahawk was some loving movie. It's a slow burn western/horror that builds up to a harrowing climax as a small posse from a frontier town set out into the wilderness on a rescue mission. It's filled with scenes of white knuckle tension and fantastic chemistry between the group of four as they descend into the proverbial heart of darkness. This is probably one of my favorite movies of 2015 just for how different it is. The movie looks awesome. But it's not streaming yet, (at least on Netflix). But I can't wait to see it.

On a totally unrelated note, INFINI is an awesome movie if you like movies that are like a game of telephone... I imagine each screenwriter kind of reads a couple of stickies from the previous writer, then they write a page, and then pass it off to someone else. But in a good way.
