I wonder if that's similar to the American version

Spoiler for Shutter Spoiler:
Does the guy at the end have a hunchback because this girl that he raped is haunting him and she sits on his back?

i don't remember that in the original Thai version

I didn't really like it. Really wanted to though. I like the actors in it didn't do anything for me though.

The Elephant Man-one of the best films I've ever seen.Hurt and Hopkins are terrific in their roles, and Lynch does a brilliant job of realising a sort of Victorian dystopia.

I was expecting so much more, this didn't scare me at all. Still decent though, it had pretty solid acting. 7/10

Hilarious and awful, just like I expected. 8/10

I guess I had really high expectations for it because everything about it should have made me love it. And I did have some laughs I just...I don't know. A good portion of it just did not click with me, and I was upset because I wanted it all to click so bad.

hmmm okay. I like the mixture of it being a Dark Comedy

I have been meaning to see this movie for awhile now and I finally got around to it. I liked the movie overall but I'm really tired of Zooey's performance in movies. She always plays a quirky girl basically a female Michael Cera with no range.

Started off so well but lost it's way towards the end. Watchable but not what I wanted it to be. Danny Trejo is still one mean mofo and it's probably one of the very few films I can tolerate Steven Seagal being in. Oh and Michelle Rodriguez MMMM. Always had a thing for her and she is delicious in this one!

Second viewing here. Not as good as the first viewing but I much prefer the British bittersweet romcoms like this than the slushy puke fest's that are usually foisted upon this and a half decent 80's soundtrack too.

Damn this was hilarious, especially Mama Sunshine's band of disabled kids. I just need to see Storytelling and I've seen ever Todd Solondz movie. I think this was my favourite out of the three I've seen. 9/10

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,317_.jpg

I did enjoy this although not everyone here would. It's VERY slow-moving and the plot is basically just two old friends going camping. I really enjoy movies like that though. I did like the other Kelly Reinhardt movie I saw, Wendy and Lucy, a lot better though. 7/10

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Seriously ridiculously good. I'm not really interested in that time period at all but I was in love within the first 5 minutes. Anyone who hasn't seen it watch it now. 10/10

Looks like the trend will continue too. Monsters Inc. 2 is supposed to come out in 2013.

They're making Toy Story 4 as well.

I think that Tom Hanks was just joking around when he said that. At least I hope so.

TheCunningStunt 06-28-2011 10:45 AM

I wondered if it was tongue in cheek, but I have a feeling it wasn't.

That said, I can't really see where they could possible take it. They should leave it alone, it's a pretty solid trilogy.

I totally agree. The third one was a great way of wrapping everything up.

I think this would've been a great movie if it was like an hour and a half. There were some undeniably creepy(that guy being at his house and the party at the same time) and undeniably awesome(the car chase/beatdown like an hour and a half in) moments but overrall it just felt overdone. It was still decent and I'm glad I watched it I guess I'll give it a 6/10.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

This is the first time I've seen the whole movie, and I really liked it. Man I think that Sean guy might be the least likeable character I've ever seen in any movie though holy ****. 9/10

http://www.genreonline.net/Genre_files/SLCPUNKLARGE.jpg

I thought this was a pretty sweet movie, overall really funny and with a good, almost bitter ending. I really enjoyed it. 8/10

The animated short before Cars 2 ahd all the Toy Story characters. That was the best part of the Cars 2.

I was guessing each plot point as I watched as it was so full of cliches but it had some decent set pieces and a nice underlying sense of humour. The goat is killer. I would watch it again I think.

Almost saw this. Decided it looked awful, and I didn't want to have Pixar ruined for me.
So I saw this instead:

Actually pretty funny. Nowhere near a top tier comedy, but I got a lot of laughs out of it.

LoathsomePete 06-29-2011 11:46 AM

I wonder how much like Bad Santa that movie is like. Not that it's a bad
thing mind you, as Bad Santa was pretty good.

Anyhoo this was my latest film.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...ox0k1BLgZQ&t=1

Pretty enjoyable neo-noir indie flick. Well written with a fun "whodunit" feel to it. The use of the old hardboiled detective jargon made it a little hard to follow at some parts, but it never got in the way too much. I would definitely recommend it if you like mysteries.

Two thumbs up! I really enjoyed this one. The "detective jargon" definitely gave it some character.

LoathsomePete 06-30-2011 11:38 PM

Jargon aside, it was pretty faithful to the film-noir genre, especially in the score. Film noir from the '40's doesn't really have the slow saxophone playing people often associate with the genre, at least not in any of the ones I've seen. Definitely a good movie from the last decade that more people need to see.

Anyhow here's my latest catch.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...heatposter.jpg

Near Dark

1987 vampire western with a scene stealing performance from Bill Paxton. No pretty boy vampires in this one (well except the protagonist...), just a bunch of monsters out looking to survive by any means possible. Definitely a film you want to keep an eye on if you're into vampire flicks, but aren't interested in where the genre is now.

Thank you for this, the last vamp film that I saw that I was even interested in was 30 days of night and even though I have issues with the ending. I still like how animalistic and grizzly the vampires were in that movie.

I've only caught bits and pieces of this film until recently. I really liked it I thought it was good. Kind of expected more out of it though.

The ending was a little... anticlimactic wasn't it? Well if you want a few other vampire movie recommendations I'd say check out:

The Lost Boys: I'm sure you've already seen this, but if not it's pretty much the quintessential vampire movie of the '80's.

Cronos: Not exclusively a vampire film, but it was Guillermo del Toro's directorial debut and involves drinking blood and the struggle to stay human

Let The Right One In/ Let Me In: Let The Right One In is the Swedish equivalent of Twilight except it's less a focus on teenage heartthrobs and more a focus on the confusing and insecurities of 11-14 year old romance. Let Me In is the American remake which I haven't seen yet, but I've heard it's pretty good so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Fright Night: Pretty much what kick started the pairing of teenagers with vampires with elements of comedy, action, and horror.

From Dusk till Dawn: This is Robert Rodriguez (director) and Quentin Tarantino (screenplay writer/ actor) with George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, and Juliette Lewis in a western Vampire movie, so you already know it's gonna be good.

Bordello of Blood: I wouldn't say this is a good movie, but it has Dennis Miller, Corey Feldmen, a midget, and a pretty decent amount of nudity. It's a Tales from the Crypt keeper feature so it's not really intended to be taken seriously.

There's a lot of them out there, not all of them are great, but I think this list should be enough for right now.

Masterpiece. Fantastic characterisation, pacing and deals with morality and ethics.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--EbMSynvgk...255B1%255D.jpg

Another great one from Hitchcock.

http://scifimafia.com/wp-content/upl...ead-poster.jpg

Good, but I did feel a little let down. I think I was expecting more, but it's still a damn good film.

That poster has the characters mixed up a little.

TheCunningStunt 07-01-2011 06:51 PM

It does, but I was too lazy to find another one.

glastonelle 07-02-2011 01:21 AM

I apologize because I'm sure all these films have already been done millions of times by people who actually watch movies when they come out rather than procrastinating and watching them when the hype is over.

The Social Network - which I loved. The chemistry between Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield was awesome, and even though Justin Timberlake had to go and **** it all up eventually since he couldn't just stick to bringing sexy back, I still really enjoyed it. AG is a babe.

Black Swan - utter ****. Thats all.

X-Men: First Class - wowowoowowow. I know its meant to be this dramatic superhero/mutant film with a great storyline, as well as incredibly well shot - and it was. But for me it was just this big romantic drama between Erik/Charles who were so obviously in love with eachother, featuring Moira the cockblock and Tony from Skins with an awful American accent. Oh, and January Jones who was thoroughly disapointing as Emma Frost, even though she is fabulous and all that. This film was sassy.

Fight Club - ****. Best movie ever.

you might enjoy it, it was the best one yet imo.

I saw it in 3-D but meh 3-D didn't really add to the movie much imo.

The combat scenes were pretty damn great with them using swords and guns

Actually, I haven't seen Lost Boys even though it's a cult classic, not sure. I just never got around to it.

Cronos, I know nothing about. I think I have heard someone name drop it but that's about it.

Let The Right One In/ Let Me In, I have both of those movies on my netflix list....I should probably move them up and watch because they are pretty far down on it.

The last three you suggested , I have seen already numerous times except for Fright Night. I need to re-watch that one because I don't remember it too well.

i didn't like this much - too slow-moving until the middle and i thought Kevin Bacon sucked as Sebastian Shaw

but agree with you about the homoeroticism between Magneto and Proefessor X (they should have just followed Wolverine's advice, instead of becoming foes at the end) and January Jones

Lost Boys is a pretty fun cheesy 80s classic

Cronos, I think, is one of the better Del Toro movies, I liked it, but it might be a bit ponderous for you

Let The Right One In/ Let Me In - there's no point watching both, the second is almost a scene-by-scene remake of the first

if you do want to watch it, watch the original Swedish version
