Keth Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 haha it was like a cross between Special and Kick-Ass. worth the rental I'd say, if not for watching Woody Harrelson flip out when people call him DefendER and not DefendOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Saw the new Robin Hood film. I was kinda half jokingly wanting this film to be Gladiator In Tights, but it was more like Kingdom Of Heaven in England. I'm big fan of the Robin Hood legend, and an unapologetic fan of the Costner Prince of Thieves film, which I do believe that was an overall more entertaining film than this Russell & Ridley take on the story. However, it was a unique concept in doing a more "origin" POV---almost like a Robin Hood Begins. Overall: B haha it was like a cross between Special and Kick-Ass. worth the rental I'd say, if not for watching Woody Harrelson flip out when people call him DefendER and not DefendOR. Damnit, this sounds up my alley. I'm a lil' pissed this one was completely off my radar. Is it an older film?

Keth Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Cool movie with a very unfair and cheap ending I thought. Endings like that rarely bother me, but it just didn't seem right :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I wanted to like that movie a lot, but I couldn't... The ending was meh too. I however, watched an absolute classic as my last film. Donald Sutherland steals the show.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) ^^Great choice, DOJ! I love that film--it's anachronistically fantastic. Anachrontastic? I watched this one w/ the gf on Logan’s suggestion. You have to wait around for an hour or so for any semblance of a plot to emerge, but some of the random, rambling monologues are cool--some are just random and rambling. Both the gf and I were a bit confounded as to why this one got so much praise until we watched the documentary on the DVD. The interviews w/ the director were revealing and helped me gain more appreciation for the film. One must also take into account that the film was made before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the influences it’s had since it was released. (Ah, NOW I know why Kevin Smith put his angels in trench coats in Dogma!) Maybe I’ll give it another try one day (Criterion claims to have a superior translation to the one on this DVD), but when I put this one in we were in the mood for a romantic drama and this film has that element, but begs so much more of the viewer. It’s a love story for pre-unification Berlin, and also, in a sense, for all humanity. Overall: B Edited June 1, 2010 by Mr. Hakujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Still watching Halloween 2. It's good to see Rob ZOmbie can still make good music videos, even when they don't have music and last 2 hours. MTV must really love that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just added that to my instant que last week, I'd always meant to watch it. Haven't gotten around to it yet, but I haven't seen a Chris Nolan movie that I didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I didn't like the two batman films at all, but it'd be impossible to say they weren't well directed. I just didn't like the subject matter in the films. Insomnia was pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 eh, glad someone liked it. Insomnia had good actors and was shit, unless it intended to be a cure for its title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 unless the original was some different hot shit, you must've been high, or likely, asleep, thinking about better films with Pacnio and Robin Williams. in the case of Pacino, id say that's nearly everything he's done ever. again, glad someone liked it. i mean, i didn't watch New Moon, but it made a lotta people happy.

Mr. Hakujin Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I don't remember much about Insomnia other than I saw it once in the theater and left feeling it was kinda "meh," especially compared to the awesomeness that is Memento. Anyone else excited about Nolan's next film, Inception? I think it looks fucking awesome, but the gf says she's not that worked up about it as it appears to play off concepts (dreams, manipulation of the mind, etc.) seemingly well worn in film... I need to put this one on my "to see" list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 yeah, im down to let you guys not DoJ guinea pig Following for me, and yeah everything i hear about Inception so far sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Insomnia sucked so hard that it blew, I've tried to like it on no less than five occasions and only managed to sit through the gargantuan fucking runtime (mind you this is with commercials as AMC is the only channel desperate enough to play the damn thing.) It's another rock on the bumpy road that is Pacino's post-Devil's Advocate career, and while Hillary Swank and Robin Williams have had great performances this movie does not stand as an example of that for either one.

the division of joy Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I was fairly sleep deprived watching Insomnia, and to lazily justify myself, it gets 7.5 on IMDB so I'm not alone in thinking it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
