I had a friend who had never seen this movie. So I re-watched it with him seeing it for the first time as well. Still one of my favorite movies of all-time. The performances are all top notch, and the story is very moving. I still dig it, and will have to watch it many many more times. |
Mouse Hunt
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._hunt_ver4.jpg I saw this movie had shown up on Netflix and I just had to watch it. I probably watched it at least 200 times as a kid, and I still love it. Easily one of my all time favorite movies with two of my still favorite actors. Definitely one worth a watch if you've never seen it because it's just a simple concept made in a pretty good fashion. |

Nymphomaniac Volume 1 as always with his films.....i am A. at a loss for words....at least when it comes to expressing myself via text and not speech B. emotionally and damn near physically drained (i have volume 2 but honestly need to let this settle before watching it) C. in absolute awe of what an amazing director he is.....and how he truly does not get the credit he deserves also i really do not want to ruin any of this for the few of you who have been as excited about these films as i have but i will say this this goes well beyond what i was expecting. |
That's a fantastic movie poster.
And your new avatar is hilarious. |

I think that particular part has been drilled into the heads of people so much that it is impossible not to know it, even if you do not know E.T.
It was parodied many times (Pee Wees Big Adventure springs to mind) and served as the logo for Amblin entertainment (Animaniacs alone shows how much it is known). Which put out so many tv shows and films it is impossible to not know it. |

Mallrats (1995) Didn't care much for the story but there was some great dialogue throughout this movie. |

I just watched a couple e-sports documentaries: http://cdn.dota2.com/apps/dota2/imag.../ftp_cover.jpg This is about a Dota 2 tournament and it's a really good documentary in general. I don't care at all about this type of game but it's a good film. I also watched the entire Smash Brothers documentary series, and it was pretty addictive. I didn't even know such a cult surrounded SSB Melee, but now I do and I understand why. |
Really? I loved Clerks the most.... probably because I worked both those jobs and it rang more true to me.
Chasing Amy is a close second. I thought out of the New Jersey trilogy that Mallrats was the weakest. |

Chasing Amy just really annoyed me. I didn't like the characters and I thought Amy wasn't worth chasing at all. |

I watched In Bruges yesterday and loved it. There's some hysterical dark humour in it, and I really like the unique characters in it. It's got a heavy Coen brothers influence and that definitely is not a bad thing. I would highly suggest watching this one.

Frozen I'm not sure why this movie is getting all the buzz it's getting. Not saying it's bad but it's just a sort of regular Disney movie. It had a few nice touches that might have made me rate it more highly but they were undercut by the presence of the frequent, terrible showtunes that took me right out of the movie. |

I finally got around to seeing Hangover 3 last night and it felt like having relatives come to visit and overstay their welcome. I'm so glad that is the last movie. They probably shouldn't have even made it to be honest. I was just so tired of all of those characters and the funny wasn't really there. I only chuckled a few times at certain lines but things that I'm pretty sure they thought was super funny left me with a deadpan face. I'm so glad I didn't pay money to see it in the theaters. |

Unsure as to how I've managed to avoid watching it until now, but I just saw The Blair Witch Project for the first time last night, at least in its entirety... and it scared the living **** out of me! Or should I say, the ending scared the **** out of me, up until that point I found everything to be pretty mildly frightening. Mostly, I was just annoyed with the bickering between characters, the female in particular. She was just unbearable, and not likable in the slightest sense. Anyways, I have a pretty low tolerance for the horror genre, so the point while they were in the house and all the anticipation that was built around the ending REALLY got to me. Freaked me the hell out. Words cannot describe. I'm sure there are people out there that completely despise this film and all the ****ty 'found footage' films that have followed in its footsteps, but it certainly worked on me.

I like The Blair Witch Project. But I find it is a one time scare deal, once you know the twists and what happens, it loses impact. So the replay value is low on it to me. But yeah, it scared me the first time I saw it. I remember having to pause it and take a break at the part where they are in the tent and hear footsteps. I was having a panic attack I thought. Very few films have gave me that kind of feeling.
It is a good film, even though it loses much of its impact on the small screen. It is meant to be seen on the big screen. I remember reading reports of it causing people to experience motion sickness and screw with them more. Mainly cause on the big screen, the image takes up your whole field of vision, and immerses you more into it. Do not get that on a small screen, it loses much of that aspect. But yeah, for what that film was, it did a great job at what it was going for. Out of all the found footage films I have seen, it is second only to Cannibal Holocaust. However I wish I had the 90 minutes of my life back spent watching Blair Witch 2. |

I also saw Blair Witch Project in the theater and it was pretty effective. Back then (before the multitude of found footage films) you could still fool yourself into thinking that it was real. The audience was enraptured and the final scene stayed with me for quite a while. There were audible gasps in the theater, and they were honest. It was a fun time for horror. |
After watch The Blair Witch Project, I'm hesitant to ever go hiking again, let alone in the woods the movie was filmed in. :laughing:
Although I didn't get to see it in theaters, I totally believe some people had a hard time watching it, even to the point of getting sick. As much as the camera moves around, I found it a bit challenging to watch, even on the small screen. I wouldn't watch it again, the whole terror aspect comes from not knowing what you're going to see, and what you don't get to see. It wouldn't be as good a film if you actually got to see the Witch, or what actually happens after the filming ends. |

I read an article on it. They said the reason behind it is because of the camera movement, the way it bounced and moved around. In a theater the screen, combined with the darkness is enough to take up your whole field of vision, adding the the illusion that you are moving. So your brain thinks that you're moving, because it that.
The impact is lost on the small screen, because you only see a small area, and it doesn't take up your field of vision in the same way. Quote:

I watched it for the first time today. I like this movie. I mean, it is probably my least favorite film by Mike Judge. The concept was a really great one, that seemed to not take off the way it could have. But I think that is kind of the point as well, comes across as lazy as the main character. It is dumb, as it is supposed to be. I think it will take a few more views to really get into, but I will gladly watch it again. |
^ I love Idiocracy
