The Movie Thread

[BloodRaven]

Battle LA was maybe a little worse than I thought it would be, terrible alien design, then there was the cliched hammy moments, writing and soundtrack. Good action though

Edit: Why the hell do they always hire Michelle Rodriguez for these movies? she must be the most typecast actor in the world.

Cracked.com had a hilarious "piece" titled "The Michelle Rodriguez Method of Acting" were they had shots of her in most of her roles; she wears a tank top in almost every movie and is tough and gritty.

Geez, for anybody with Netflix there is a doozy on instant watch.

Put on "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" of West Virginia. Its a REAL documentary of a messed up WV family that is living off government disability coal mining money. Johnny Knox was one of the producers.

Its ridiculous!!!! Even more so when you realize these are real people.

That movie is why I'm never visiting West Virignia

It's foreign surreal horror movie night. Should I watch Gozu or Santa Sangre?

[BloodRaven]

So I decided to watch Skyline, now theres a terrible TERRIBLE movie. Turk really let me down. The ending was fantastic though

[RL52TheGreatest]

Pulp Fiction is a great movie.

I watched the majority of No Country for Old Men for the first time over the weekend and while the ending left me puzzled, the story really sucked me in.

There's a recurring theme in the movie of "you can't stop what's coming" which is what I took from the ending (in more ways than one). I was kind of puzzled by the ending too when I first watched it, but when I re-watched it multiple times, I started to pick up on certain things and the ending made much more sense. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all-time. (Pulp Fiction would also make that list)

Anyways, has anyone seen "Paul" in here? I just watched it last night and it was pretty good. It's not as funny as their other movies, but if you're a fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost then it's worth checking out.

Just watched Godfather II. Another classic...

[ryan23945]

watched limitless ol last night, 6.5/10

Just watched Godfather II. Another classic...

Clasic does not do it justice... Godfather II is easily one of the greatest movies ever made

[JonM229]

Francis Ford Coppola or Martin Scorsese?

[ryan23945]

Personal opinion:

Danny Boyle > Darren Aronofsky > Christopher Nolan

[JonM229]

I'd say that Paul Thomas Anderson is better than all three.

All great directors though.

[FerrariFan87]

I saw Battle: LA last night, and it was actually pretty good. I recommend it.

[JonM229]

I'll pass

Personal opinion:

Christopher Nolan is my favorite at the moment. I would like to see how he fares with Spiderman though. I heard he was contributing a lot to it. One of the things that made the Batman movies unique is that everything that happened was very realistic and could possibly happen. It would be interesting to see how he pulls it off with a superhero that has actual superpowers, unlike Batman, who just beats the crap out of people by using his fists.

[BloodRaven]

Nolan is a little too clinical for me, it's perfect for Batman but you start to realise he has a bit of an emotional disconnect. I like Paul Thomas Anderson, but he doesn't really have the same longevity.

Name a better movie than There Will Be Blood in the past 5 years.

Any answer you give will be wrong

[BloodRaven]

It probably is the best but I'd say the movie is more Daniel Day Lewis (best actor in the world) than Paul Anderson.

Well, at least we can agree on something

[ryan23945]

Well, at least we can agree on something

ya he only does one movie every few years, and knocks the role waaaaay outta the park every time

[JonM229]

If you love Daniel Day-Lewis and haven't seen My Left Foot, I can't recommend it enough.

[ryan23945]

DDL is a phenomenal actor, but im not really a fan haha, if that makes any sense

[JonM229]
