Dude, go watch The Life Aquatic. It's Bill Murray's best movie about him just being Bill Murray (Ghostbusters was about four people, so it doesn't count). It's also as quotable as any Monty Python movie.

Lone Survivor
Whoa. Tells the story of the failed Navy Seals Operation Red Wings. Quote:
The only surviving Navy Seal with the Afghanistan dude who found him, cared for him, and defended him until US troops could arrive to extract him. http://cbsnews2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i...lTogether2.jpg The movie had to be a nightmare to shoot (watch it and you'll see why) and all 4 of the leads were great. The video during the opening and closing credits is intense, and gut wrenching. Stick with it until the very end. |
Yeah, one of the better war/action movies I've seen in recent years. Definite thumbs up.

When I saw that trailer for lone survivor. I felt like I watched the whole movie in it. It is like they gave away the ending in the title.

Horror of Dracula (1958)
http://images1.fanpop.com/images/pho...88-324-500.jpg Obviously I've heard of Hammer horror movies, and obviously I've heard of Christopher Lee's Hammer Dracula movies, but this was my first experience with either. With what I'd gleaned over the years I was expecting something not quite B-rate but still cheesy and over-the-top, but instead what I got was something that was obviously a product of its budget and presumably short filming schedule, while also being taken too seriously for its own good. Most of the problem was probably in its acting which, rather than being hammy and fun, was in fact the opposite: rigid, overly polite, and unemotional. This was not due however to just plain ****ty acting, but because it seems that nobody told the all-British cast to stop being British at each other for five whole minutes. I'm honestly surprised that the words "goodness", "gracious", and "me" were not uttered in that exact order at any point during the movie. That being said, even though the fact that this movie is nearly sixty-years-old has dated its horror and violence, there are a few scenes that were legitimately cool, most especially Dracula's death; and prim and proper though the cast may have been the rest of the movie had a surprising amount of grit to it. Just too bad it was at odds with the acting. |
Funny, I watching a bit of Abbott & Costello vs. Frankenstein. Kinda sad seeing Bela Lugosi and Lon Cheney well past their prime.

Moon: Easily one of my favorite sci-fi movies. Original, intelligent, thought provoking, sublimely funny at times, and emotionally gut wrenching at other times.
Perfect soundtrack and it is easily Sam Rockwell's best work imo. If the movie had done better at the box office he would have been a shoe in for an Oscar nod. I'd post the trailer but it gives away too much. Better to go in 100% cold if you've never seen it. |
Your Sicario avatar looks too much like the one Bat had of that YouTuber, and now every time you post I think it's him.
And Moon rules. |

The Darjeeling Limited > Moonrise Kingdom > The Royal Tenenbaums > The Grand Budapest Hotel > Fantastic Mr. Fox > Rushmore > Life Aquatic
I'm a little late to the Wes Anderson discussion, but I've arrived. |
I'll piggy back that. This was hard. I don't dislike a single film.
1. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2. The Darjeeling Limited 3. Moonrise Kingdom 4. The Grand Budapest Hotel 5. Rushmore 6. The Royal Tenenbaums 7. Fantastic Mr. Fox 8. Bottle Rocket |
Throw down a Life Aquatic quote. You know you got one.

Steve Zissou: Oh, sh*t! Swamp leeches. Everybody, check for swamp leeches, and pull them off... Nobody else got hit? I'm the only one? What's the deal? Alistair Hennessey: Is this my espresso machine? Wh-what is-h-how did you get my espresso machine? Bill Ubell: Well... uh... we f*ckin' stole it, man. Klaus Daimler: Who the sh*t is Kingsley Zissou? |

The Darjeeling Limited > The Life Aquatic > The Grand Budapest Hotel > The Royal Tenenbaums > Rushmore > Fantastic Mr. Fox > Bottle Rocket > Moonrise Kingdom There was something about the story of those brothers reconnecting that really got to me. Not just Wes Anderson's best, but I think it's Owen Wilson's best film as well. |

Into The Inferno You can't go wrong with Werner Herzog. Unique and incredible footage that not many people have access to makes this one a very interesting watch. I actually found the footage of him in North Korea to be more interesting than the volcano footage. |
Sadly the new Herzog documentary about the internet was drivel.
