Black Snake Moan (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462200/)(if you don\'t mind seeing Cristina Ricci emaciated and half naked) really good movie though, Sam L learned to play blues guitar for the role.
I have recently become a big fan of early Clint Eastwood movies. Palehorse is really good, as is The Outlaw Josey Wales (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075029/), it may be a guy thing though, he\'s just such a badass. So is Fistful of Dollars (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058461/)(if you can get past the kinda weird audio dubbing) (this movie is where the term spaghetti western was originated the japanese would call italian westerns macaroni westerns to differentiate between italian and american westerns) I have yet to see The Good the Bad and the Ugly (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/), but it\'s the next must see on my list, it\'s supposed to be incredible.
I will return later with more suggestions, I\'m a bit of a movie buff. I\'ll prob have a list for ya.
edit: it\'s Pale Rider (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089767/), not Palehorse

And I think Christina Ricci is pretty attractive; I\'m fine with the nakedness.

Yeah so was I. It\'s alittle weird to see her so skinny though. I always kinda liked the fact that she was a full figured girl. Don\'t get me wrong she\'s still hot.
i\'d do her at any size.

Dark City (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118929/)
Jesus\' Son* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0186253/)
The Boondock Saints (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144117/)
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/)
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120735/)
Donnie Darko* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/)
25th Hour (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307901/)
Death to Smoochy* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266452/)

Big Fish (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319061/)
Spun (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283003/)
Bringing Out the Dead* (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163988/)
early Coen Bro. flicks: Barton Fink (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101410/), The Hudsucker Proxy, (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110074/) The Man Who Wasn\'t There (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243133/)(not an early one but often over looked.)
Unforgiven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/) (to add to my Eastwood list)
The ones with stars I\'d highly recomend. I left out some that may be obvious (ie Fight Club, Lebowski, Fargo, 12 Monkeys ect) But this is a small list of some of my favorite movies. I\'m sure I could come up with more (and may) but this\'ll give ya something to work with. (I linked them to imdb so you can check out plot synopsis if you want.) What can I say I like getting people into good flicks.

#1 Running Scared (must see, its incrediblly gripping!)
#2 Memento (really really cool movie, the movie is filmed in reverse! (end->start))
#3 Pan\'s Labyrinth (very bizzare, really different, fantasy for adults, subtitles)
#4 United 93 (the recent movie about the lost september 11th plane, unbelieveable acting/production)
#5 The Prestige (about magicians, with Cristian Bale and Hugh Jackman, has you thinking about the twists and turns in the plot for days after)
#6 Blood Diamond (more popular than the others, probably the best movie of 2006)

the one from 2006..its so intense, please see it and tell me what you think. its about a boy who whittnesses a murder and he\'s the only one with the truth about what happened...he ends up getting in some deep shit (needless to say). great great movie.

8 1/2 (Fellini)
Salesman (Best Documentary ever)
Fast Cheap and Out of Control (Tied for best documentary ever, Errol Morris Film)
Kicking and Screaming (Baumbach)
The Conversation (Coppola "I make movies like the godfather so I can make movies like the Conversation.")
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Ford)
The Insider (Mann)
The Player (Altman)
Shortcuts (Altman, Magnolia part 1 pretty much)
Un Chien Adaolu (Bunuel / Dali, one of the most important films ever)
La Dolce Vita (Fellini)
ok thats a short list but they are all 5 stars, and some of the best films ever made!

Now, Pan\'s Labyrinth...? Sure it looked great. But was the story that good? Watched it a couple times, and both times all I felt was \'MEH\' at the end.
Since you liked The Prestige, how did you feel about The Illusionist?

that was actually my post, not radicalrich\'s haha...
but as for your questions/comments...pan\'s i thought was mezmorizing, mostly becuase of the visuals. Yeah the plot wasnt amazing, but sometimes i enjoy movies because they are innovative, and PL certainly was.
I didnt see the illusionist, but my roomate who has the same taste in movies as me saw it and said it was very good, but not as good at the prestige. I plan on seeing it eventually. Its funny because Christian Bale and Edward Norton are both in my top 5 favorite actors. (i forgot to mention american history X also)

I have very similar taste to Whathefunk. I am a huge Wes Anderson fan.
Nobody I know has seen Closer and they always shrug it off. Phenomenal acting, great flick.
Stranger Than Fiction was so good, so original.

Quote from: Me!;165584
Don\'t get me wrong The Illusionist wasn\'t great, but it entertained me for the 1 1/2 hrs or so. Edward Norton is another of those (refering to my coen bros thread) that I\'ll pretty go see or rent or buy anything he is in. Although the Italian Job kinda sucked though. But Fight Club, American History X, 25th Hour, Death to Smoochy, The Score, and even Rounders, are all great. sidenote: just went on IMDB and saw that he\'s Bruce Banner in "The Incredible Hulk" which is coming out next year, didn\'t they already try this and it failed miserably?
And I didn\'t outright hate David Gale, just didn\'t think it was a great as some. It was ok.
Stranger than Fiction def great, I could see Will Ferrel doing way more roles like this. Kinda going the Jim Carrey route later in his carrer. I also kinda have a thing for Maggie Gyllenhal, everybody tells me I have to see "The Secretary" but have yet to.
Yes, Fight Club, AH-X, 25th Hour, Smoochy, all fantastic. I didn\'t hear of another "Incredible Hulk", esp. not with Norton? :wtf: That\'s real weird.
I\'m with you on Ferrel too. He\'s too talented to be pigeon-holed into slap-stick comedy roles. I\'ll take a Ferrel-like Truman Show for sure. Which, by the way, Truman Show = :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I\'ve also heard rumors for awhile of On The Road becoming a movie. Big name director too, like Scorcese or Coppola... Anyone??? That would be very exciting.

Paul Giammati = Unsung hero IMO. I love everything the man does.

Spun I thought was decent. It made me a bit uncomfortable at times, which can only be a good thing. By the end, however, I was ready for the movie to be over. The whole thing seemed a bit stretched out. Not a bad movie though.
Death to Smoochy was a fun watch; I dig comedies that are a little on the dark side. I thought it was great how the storyline was so outrageous but still managed to work.
I watched the movie Palindromes last night. I definitely suggest watching it unless you are really sensitive. Very well done, but seriously fucked up.

loved the cook, and some of the dialogue
The Cook: I tell ya, I remember a time when I was about... I was little, I don\'t know... 4, 5 something like that. We had this old dog that had a litter of puppies. And I walked in the bathroom one day and my Mother was standing there, kneeling down... Dog had a litter of about 8, and my Mother was bending over killing each one of these little puppies in the bathtub. I remember I said \'why?\'... She said \'Im just killing what I can\'t take care of\' - Then my momma said to me, she looked at me and she said \'I wish I could do that to you\'. - Maybe she, maybe she shoulda.

and for all the adaptation lovers, i agree, its a great movie! just wondering if you happened to have read the book that movie was adapted from.... i feel like the reason that movie is so great is that he adapted it from a book, but the "story" from the movie is very different than the "story" from the book, because he(charlie kaufman) wanted to focus on bringing out the style of the book instead of the actual text. very artsy.

no it\'s done, however milch said he wanted to continue the story even in another medium if he has too, so we can phope for that
i mean i think there\'s more of a chance of him doing deadwood, cause at least that got nominated for awards, and won some, and i think had a larger audience

That\'s a really good movie. I didn\'t mind the "shot by hand-held camera" deal that much. I thought it was interesting that you didn\'t really get to see two of the main characters faces very much and built your profile of them by voice.
Also, for it to be in the theaters in the Jan/Feb and on DVD yesterday means that it was a total flop?

While buying flowers at a roadside stand, a mother disappears, leaving her two young children waiting in her car. Soon, the kids set off to find their mother, but they go missing as well, and an epic police investigation ensues. HBO and BBC team up for this gripping miniseries, which depicts the saga on five separate days throughout the search. The cast includes David Oyelowo as the distraught husband and Hugh Bonneville as the chief detective.
I feel as if the story is going to have more to do with the characters dealing with the situation than how/why she disappeared.
The other two movies on their way are \'La Commare Secca\' (I\'m guessing this is similar to \'Rashomon\', which was really good)
Quote
Bernardo Bertolucci\'s debut film centers on the murder investigation of a Roman prostitute in a riverside park. One by one, the police interrogate the individuals who were in the park at the time of the murder, hoping the killer is among them. The film focuses on each suspect\'s version of the night of the murder, intercut with scenes from the prostitute\'s last day alive. Giancarlo de Rosa, Vincenzo Ciccora, Alvaro D\'Ercola and Romano Labate star.
and \'The Tunnel\'
Quote
Set in the 1960s, decades before the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall, The Tunnel chronicles one of the most daring escapes to freedom. East German championship swimmer Harry Melchior\'s (Heino Ferch) defection entailed willpower and a forged passport. But to get his sister Lotte and others out, he has to team up with a motley crew to dig a 145-yard tunnel to East Berlin -- and, of course, ferry everyone back to safety.

I want to watch that.
Other movies I heard about in the future, both actually, start Leonardo DiCapripo
1.) They did filming for a movie about him after he returns home from WWII and goes crazy; flashing back to concentration camps and the war, etc (the concentration camp and war scenes were shot in Tauton, MA in april). I don\'t know the name of it or when it will come out.
2.) A 2-part live action version of Akira.

Saw this after work last week. Great to see a movie being one of 8 people in the theater. I thought it was the best Marvel comic movie that\'s come out so far. The soundtrack was great that slow heavy guitar driven thump that went along with everything.
[spoiler]did you stay after the credits to see Sam jackson as Nick Fury and the set up for the Avengers movie[/spoiler]
I saw "August Rush" OnDemand over the weekend. While the storyline is really cheesy, I dug the music in it and the idea they were going for.
check this one out too:

The funeral for the patriarch of a wealthy but eccentric British clan is turned topsy-turvy when a stranger appears claiming to be the dead man\'s gay lover in this dramedy directed by Frank Oz and starring Peter Dinklage, Matthew Macfadyen and Rupert Graves. The dysfunctional family grows wackier as the deceased\'s sons decide they can\'t let the rest of the guests get wind of this revelation. But can they get the cat back into the bag?

My sister recommended this movie, saying it was one of the best movies she\'s ever seen. I almost drove to her house after watching it to punch her stupid face. Robin Williams... WTF?!! His character is what Bono is gonna look like in another 20 years... and it\'s really sad.
However, I will agree that SOME of the musical stuff was cool. Kaki King contributed to the soundtrack, and that slap style guitar is pretty freakin sweet. However when he got into the orchestration stuff and they kept slippin\' that Van Morrison tease in... pretty cheesy!

The amazing thing about this film was the powerful effect it achieved with very little, if any, shocking footage. We are conditioned to look away from all the "standard" holocaust images - the drawn faces, the gaunt skeletons, the bones in the ovens, the piles of shoes and personal effects. Instead, Gavras uses Gerstein\'s involvement with the engineering side of the issue, and paints a chilling picture of the magnitude of the killings. The project management meetings where they discuss the efficiency improvement strategies for gassing people and cleaning out the chambers are eerily similar to meetings I and many other Dilbert-types attend on a regular basis. The final scene at the camp where all the SS facilities officers chorus their concerns over decreased KILLING efficiency is ridiculously chilling. These guys could be whining about their bottom line numbers at a board meeting for any major corporation.
It really is quiet chilling.

For you WWII nuts, Downfall is a must see. It\'s the last days of the Third Reich and it takes place in Hitlers bunker below Berlin. There are so many WWII movies told from the perspective of the allies that it\'s really amazing to see the last days from the Nazi POV.
I agree. I went to see it in the theaters when it came out.

Yes, same here. I enjoyed the mentions of the old movies....and Karen Allen was a surprise, but i kind of figured out that plot angle from almost the beginning of the movie.
What did you think of Shia? I really loved him in Bobby and i think he really has the potential to be a great actor, i just didnt like him in this character. Seemed over the top. Like he was playing the Fonz the whole time or something. I dont know.
But same with me, my two friends thought it was awesome,and i was like eh, definitely not better than the last one. Too many special effects for me. If you stayed for the end of the credits, it was like ALL special effects.
Also, i want to know why the big motorcycle chase scene was cut and edited. I had gone down to the Indy casting when they were in New Haven. And they had a bunch of different scenes they were casting for....one was this huge football scene in the yale bowl. They were looking for "cheerleaders" and "football" players because the chase was suppossed to go through there.... :shrug: Maybe they switched that out with the scene on the green.... And I am glad to see the part i was trying to get and didn\'t was cut. They were looking for a girl to be walking a dog in the background. Oh well....

I think Shia is a fine actor with much potential. Once he got past the whole"you got a problem with that?" and settled in I liked his character alot.
During one of the jeep chase scenes I leaned over to my friend Kevin and asked him if he saw any Ewoks because I felt I had seen the same scene in Return of the Jedi just switch jeeps for Speeder Bikes. You know what scene I\'m talking about it was so blatant.
After the 1st viewing I def. think it is the weakest of the 4.
I said then I need to see it again but I do not think my opinion will change much.

Cloverfield- Kind of a modern day monster movie (Godzilla or King Kong type of thing). Not terrible but I wasn\'t crazy about it. Acting = meh. Not a thick or surprising story, but very cool special effects/ digital shiz goin on.
The Darjeeling Limited- I think I remember a lot of people fluffing this movie, so I checked it out with high hopes. I really like the way Wes Anderson\'s movies look, and I like the characters, but the story doesn\'t too much for me. Really good movie though. I think I thought the same thing about Royal Tennenbaums, but I haven\'t seen that one in a while. Would see again.
Juno- This is one of those movies that I ending up liking a lot more than I thought I would. Expected lot\'s of cheesiness, but it never got *too* bad. Loved the characters, story, and style. Ellen Page was really good as the main character and I love the characters Michael Cera plays. I endorse this movie.
Post by: peaches626 on June 04, 2008, 03:04:08 pm
Dan in Real Life- not terrible, but dissapointing. Sort of funny. Uber-cheesy. Steve Carrell cashing in on his name being big.
Lars and the Real Girl- I liked it. The whole movie I was awkwardly trying to figure out whether I was supposed to laugh or feel real bad for this guy. Ryan Gosling was real good, but his brother in the movie bothered me.
Death at a Funeral- pretty funny, not too long.
Before the Devil Knows Your Dead- Very good. Enjoyed all the characters and the actors in their roles. Crazy story, interesting way of telling it. And yes, Tomei is smokin.
Don\'t remember seeing it mentioned here, but America Gangster was pretty good as well. Denzel is an acting icon of this generation, and he was awesome in the role. The movie has a cool look to it, and there\'s lots of extra footage/deleted scenes/interviews/making of the movie which is very cool because it is based on a true story.
Oh and i forgot I saw Will There Be Blood, and that was awesome! Maybe a tad bit long, but Daniel Day Lewis was amazing in his role, and the movie was just really well done all around- cinematography/sound/music/acting/editing

This movie really angered me. All the characters were low-life scum who contributed nothing to society (at least in the scenes we see them in). I won\'t throw any spoilers out there but the entire premise of their heist is absurd. The only redeeming factor is Marisa Tomei putting em on the glass multiple times. She\'s smoking for being in her early 40\'s.

I actually watched this the other night. I couldn\'t sleep and rented it on on-demand cause i was curious. I felt the exact same way about the brother. He annoyed me for the majority of the movie.
I really thought this was a cleverly written story. There was great wit in some of the social scenes. Funny at times, yet also very melancholy. I loved the way small-town life was portrayed also. And how the townspeople gave "bianca" a life.

THE MACHINIST (El Maquinista)
Trevor Reznik is a lathe-operator who suffers from insomnia and hasn\'t slept in a year. Slowly, he begins to doubt his sanity as increasingly bizarre things start happening at work and at home. Haunted by a deformed co-worker who no one seems to think exists, and an ongoing stream of indecipherable Post-It notes he keeps finding on his fridge, he attempts to investigate what appears to be a mysterious plot against him and, in the process, embroils two women in his madness.
And Spacey, since I know you\'ve been trolling .info, this movie stars Christian Bale

Tonight I\'ll be watching:
THE MACHINIST (El Maquinista)
This movie turned out to be a real psychological mind bender.
Quote
Christian Bale starved himself for over 4 months prior to filming, as his character needed to look drastically thin. Allegedly his eating consisted of one can of tuna and an apple each day (approximately 275 calories), although there are conflicting reports on this. According to the DVD commentary, he lost 62 pounds (28 kg), reducing his body weight to 120 pounds (54.4 kg). Bale wanted to go down to 100 pounds (45.3 kg) but the filmmakers would not let him due to health concerns.

I finally got around to watching \'There Will Be Blood\' last night. I enjoyed it but didn\'t see why everyone was raving about it. For anyone who recommended it, besides the last scene (which I thought was the best of the movie) what made this movie good? It just seemed like another movie where an out of control man let all his money go to his head.
i\'m with you 100% on this one, ok movie, but nothing to spark up the positive reviews it was getting

I actually saw this movie in the theaters back four years ago (I want to say at the old York Square). I kind of want to rewatch it now. I remember it had me intrigued from start to finish. Very well written and directed in a way that would make Hitchcock proud.
Oh, I\'ll add I saw "Get Smart" this weekend. Its worth it if you like Steve Carrell. If you don\'t, then don\'t bother.

Johnny Knoxsville... outside his typical "gettin\' my ass kicked" schtick on Jackass, has done very little to impress me... but this movie could easily change all that. Gram Parsons is the fuckin\' man!

Yeah but I grew up on the show and the way they approached the movie and kept it as dry as the series really got me.
All the little things like Agent 13 in a tree. In the series he always popped up in the weirdest places. Agent 99\'s "Oh Max" was so perfectly delivered and Agent 86\'s lines were spot on except for the finger gesture was missing from "Missed it by.....
The mention of Hymie and then seeing him at the end and the cameo of the original Seigfried were icing.
I do like Steve Carrell a lot though. He just makes me laugh.
Plus Anne Hathaway tearing a dress to show of her legs better is just great film work.

I definitely agree the strangers had potential. I feel the "just because you were home" was lame.

so the happening was bad? it looked alright from the previews...
it did look alright. that\'s why when it rotated to someone\'s turn for sunday movie night and they suggested it, i was game. But it was awful. I don\'t know what M. Knight Shadadadada was thinking. The script was horrible. I\'ve seen better acting from a group of middle schoolers. I mean, I know Marky Mark isn\'t the greatest. But after seeing such a knock out performance in The Departed,I had high hopes he could hold his own. Zooey Deschannel thought acting meant bugging her eyes out for half the movie. Just awful all around. I think its already out of the theaters.
A pretty good movie with no buzz, its almost small time, only playing at the Criterion in New Haven is "The Promotion". Funny stuff. Recommend it highly. Especially for those who work in retail.

^^^ the thing is he didnt know what the fuck he was doing, but went and did it anyway. no way he should have survived the way he went up there. thing is he followed a life long dream, the \'alaskan odyssy,\' and hated his "perfect" life he had with all the money and power his parents soaked themselves into, and he could have had if he wanted. really thought this flick was inspirational to the max. it helped me know i can be who i want and not worry about shit, somewhat. awesome flick i thought, really hit a soft spot as silly as that sounds.
Definitely doesn\'t sound silly. I was SUPER hyped about this movie before it came out. I had just gotten back from my stint as a trail worker out in Washington state so.. Actually I hung out with you at a couple of shows when I was out there, bought you a shot and a beer in Vancouver. But yeah when I saw previews I read up on the story and think I was let down because I had too much in the bag going in. I absolutely agree that his "go after what you want" attitude was very inspirational but got a little worn out on the total self-interest. Actually, what I really took away from the movie was one of his closing statements: "Happiness is only real when it is shared." Devastating because of the state he wrote it in, but he seriously felt like a martyr (for me personally) at that moment because I\'ve struggled in the past with wanting to run away on my own, and those thoughts usually come in floods if I\'m depressed. It was in that moment that he realized for the first time in his wild life how important other people are to the individual. I think a lot of people struggle with that, especially in America.

yeah that scene made me feel very sad for him, because that was the first time, it seems at least, that he realized how much friends/family really mean, not just how objects and possesions affect people. it sucks that it took so long to realize it since he was dying then and could not take advantage of it, even though he threw his identity and family away. at any rate, i think this movie somewhat changed my life, and im sure that sounds more cheesy than the previous. ditched his family, claimed he did not have one anymore, and peaced out. crazy how much your parents affect the rest of your life by the how ever many years you have or have not spent with them. great flick tho. like i said, really seriously made me think hard even after the credits flashed by

I suppose. I\'ve only seen Grizzly Man and never bothered with Into the Wild because I figured it was a similar story.

I\'d say outside of them dying in Alaska, it is not very similar. Grizzly Man had very specific plans, Into The Wild Man basically didn\'t have any. Anyways, the fact that they are both true stories should be enough to give them each their views.
But to answer your question, I don\'t know. I relate with Into The Wild more, Grizzly Man still doesn\'t seem real to some extent. Treadwell was absolutely insane and if you\'re asking who was a bigger badass (which I don\'t think you are) hands down Grizzly.

Ang Lee is doing a movie in upstate NY called \'Taking Woodstock\' and I went up and got a role as an extra doing a \'prayer circle\' and cant go to the fucking shooting of the scene today because noone can switch hours with me at work. Bullshit. And the casting called last night and said its the peak and biggest scene in the movie and that it is really important i try to make it. Meanwhile last Friday, my friend Zach who many of you know, also got an extra part (its being filmed by his house) and they chose him out of like 500 people to be experiencing a bad acid trip while the two main actors (Emile Hirsch from Into the Wild and Liev Schreiber) dialogue over him.. Ang Lee (who was rockin a Mets hat) sprayed his face with water to make him look sweaty. Im really pissed i cant get up there today to do the shoot, get paid, and be a part of something this cool. My luck it wins an Oscar. Anyway, I suggest the movie, it comes out in 09.

I actually met the guy who wrote the book at BookExpo in NYC last year before know what the book was about. It\'s a good book. Basically the final 3rd of it is about Woodstock and the first 2/3rds is basically about him coming to grips with his homosexuality and his affairs in the 60s with various men. Not sure with angle Lee is going to take with it, but if Brokeback is any indication, I\'m sure that it will have a heavy dose of both stories.

Burn After Reading was pretty fantastic i have to say... saw it in an impromptu trip after jazz duo (penta?) last night @ CJs. i hadn\'t seen too many previews or heard too much about it, and im glad i didnt, because i was certainly surprised. some amazing quirky characters, overly dramatic music, and unforgettable 1-liners. i will certainly be seeing it in the theater at least once more ! :)

Dear Ann:
You used to be fun; at least funny. At least gently and amusingly insane, but girlfriend, you’ve changed! The thousand-yard stare you’ve acquired in the last couple of years says lonely nights, too much wine and insecurity about the future of your career. Where to now, my sweet fascist? Another one of your silly books? More hilarious appearances on Hannity & Colmes? Bill Maher has to be tired of you by now.
You’re anything but stupid and by now , you must see the writing on the wall. You’ll never have a real place with the Beltway in crowd, as they see you as a northeastern, hickoid, pro wrestler, Nascar type with a degree from Cornell. I mean, really, Ann; where can it go from here? Ann, I think I have the answer, in fact, I know I do.
I want to hire you, Ann. I want you to come and work for me. I want you to be my “Ann Friday,” my housekeeper, beekeeper, floor, chimney and minesweeper, my window-washing, grocery-buying, dinner-cooking, obsequious, submissive concubine-domestic.
You will laugh at my jokes, celebrate my victories and lament my failures. You will praise my friends and vow great harm upon all who oppose me. You will treat me like a god, a guru, a mentor – and the best night in the sack you’ve ever had. You will carry my bags, wash my cars, walk my dogs and turn your savings over to me. You will massage Susan Sarandon’s aching shoulders, whip up vegan delights for Hanoi Jane Fonda, and loofah Barbra Streisand’s stretch marks.
But most of all, Ann, you will just shut the fuck up.
I can offer you a life of obedient servitude on my compound; in your time with me, you will learn much. You will learn that America is made up of people from all races, walks of life and sexual orientation and that it’s all OK. You will learn to be patient and kind. You will learn the meaning of the word “respect” and memorize every line of Caddyshack. You will listen to The Ramones, Black Sabbath and the Brides of Funkenstein. You’re a figure of fun and I plan on having fun with that figure. You will learn who your daddy is, that’s for sure.
But mostly, Ann, you will just the fuck up.
Come on, Anne, ya fuckin’ psycho; let’s do this!
Henry

i saw him many years ago at Toads and it was awesome...his books are also super....i read them all when i was 12 and would steal them out of my brothers room when he wasnt home...hahaha....
I saw him at Toad\'s also... it was probably the same show. My brother and I used to wear out his spoken word albums. Rollins is equal parts stand-up comedian, raving mad man and intellectual, which is a compliment in my book.

If you have Netflix, you can watch The Rage in Placid Lake for free online. It was a pretty funny movie. Well worth the FREE price tag... plus you\'ll get to see Mikey act like an australian teenager, which is pretty funny too.
Summary:
Placid Lake (Ben Lee) has always been different. His crayon eating scientific genius of a best friend, Gemma (Rose Byrne), also has a few issues with \'blending in\'. As an odd fish in a sea of mediocrity, his brilliant ideas are bound to get him into more trouble than success. So when he finds himself flying off the school roof and breaking every bone in his body on graduation night, Placid decides to make a bid for the elusive normal life. To his parents\' horror, he gets a normal job. Soon he\'s embracing conformity on the fast track to corporate success. But can Placid finally retire his rage in the pursuit of normalcy? Or will his plan backfire?
This movie also had the strangest cameo I\'ve ever seen. Claire Danes shows up in the movie for literally 10 seconds. It seemed odd because it was an all Australian cast, shot in Australia and she just pops into a scene, says about 4 words and never appears again. Very strange.

Ya know I thought that Mike "helluvahat" was living down south working for some kind of scientific company or something. But after watching the Australian comedy The Rage in Placid Lake (2003), I realized that he is apparently living in Australia, going by the name Ben Lee, acting and fronting several semi-successful indie bands.

Just watched the trailer and added the movie to my queue (unfortunately you can\'t watch movies on Netflix if you have a mac.) Boy is that an eerie resemblance. Movie looks ok too.

Gordo, if you liked City of God, watch the tv series City of Men. It is also wonderful.
http://www.netflix.com/Movie/City_of_Men_Disc_1/70054255?trkid=226871
No shit.. I know they made a movie sequel City of Men, but didn\'t realize there was a series too. Awesome, I\'ll surely watch soon. Man, soooo good. Did you guys know that Carrot was the only trained actor in the movie? Everyone else was hand picked from the streets for genuinity. I guess they put the kid\'s through acting classes for a few months before shooting and come film time they used a ton of improv to keep it as realistic as possible. Lil\' Ze was supposedly a very intraverted person before being chosen as the drug lord killing machine. That\'s wild. I loved the Tender Trio too. And Knockout Ned, it took me awhile to realize he was in Life Aquatic (Seu Jorge pumpin\' out the Portuguese acoustic Bowie).

A couple I thoroughly enjoy that I didn\'t see listed are below:
The Jacket (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366627/)
The Rundown (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327850/) -- Although I had never been a fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, we happened to watch this movie and it was actually really good. Major ass kicking going on. Also Chris Walken tied to almost any movie adds bonus points.
Run Ronnie Run (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258100/) -- You mentioned at the first post not "dumb funny" movies, but David Cross drops this one in under the mainstream radar and it\'ll make you double guess your Joe Dirt "Mullet Allegiance".
Where the Buffalo Roam (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081748/)
(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00003ETIT.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
Those are mine for now... thanks all for the suggestions!

yes, i obviously went into Quarantine expecting to see several oscar-worthy performances and was flat out shocked when it didn\'t deliver.
actually, i was hoping for a halfway decent scary zombie-esque type of movie, and was disappointed that it wasn\'t even that.
not to mention that the final scene of the movie is in the fucking trailer. seriously, WHO DOES THAT??

I have not seen this movie, and have no plans to. More just cause I\'m not a horror/zombie/whatever you wanna call it movie guy. But, the main character in this movie is the actress from Dexter on Showtime, and I can\'t fuckin stand her. She is the only character that really removes me from the situation. Maybe it\'s her character, but something about her irritates the shit outta me. Don\'t know if she was any good in the movie, but someone who cast her must not have been paying attention. God awful.

By the way, I\'m seeing all these rumors on IMDB that Phoenix is quiting acting to pursue a career in music.

Cidade de Deus (City of God) is a housing project built in the 1960\'s that--in the early 80\'s--became one of the most dangerous places in Rio de Janeiro. The tale tells the stories of many characters whose lives sometimes intersect. However, all is seen through the eyes of a singular narrator: Buscapé, a poor black youth too frail and scared to become an outlaw but also too smart to be content with underpaid, menial jobs. He grows up in a very violent environment. The odds are all against him. But Buscapé soon discovers that he can see reality differently than others. His redemption is that he\'s been given an artist\'s point of view as a keen-eyed photographer. As Buscapé is not the real protagonist of the film--only the narrator--he is not the one who makes the decisions that will determine the sequence of events. Nevertheless, not only his life is attached to what happens in the story, but it is also through Buscapé\'s perspective of life that one can understand the complicated layers and humanity of a world, apparently condemned to endless violence. Written by Sujit R. Varma
Brazil, 1960\'s, City of God. The Tender Trio robs motels and gas trucks. Younger kids watch and learn well...too well. 1970\'s: Li\'l Zé has prospered very well and owns the city. He causes violence and fear as he wipes out rival gangs without mercy. His best friend Bené is the only one to keep him on the good side of sanity. Rocket has watched these two gain power for years, and he wants no part of it. Yet he keeps getting swept up in the madness. All he wants to do is take pictures. 1980\'s: Things are out of control between the last two remaining gangs...will it ever end? Welcome to the City of God.

Quote
Nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, director Alison Maclean\'s reflective drama follows FH (Billy Crudup), a well-meaning drug addict who stumbles backward into redemption. When his longtime love (Samantha Morton) leaves, FH follows her but meets and falls for the older Mira (Holly Hunter) along the way. Amid his life\'s wreckage, a near-fatal car crash and a chance to save a child\'s life force FH to examine his existence and its meaning.

clint eastwood is the only man that can get away with saying racial asian slurs and make it funny. the movie was great! (especially the dog jokes!)
IMO what made that possible were the scene\'s with his barber calling him a dumb pollock. Then you realized that he\'s a miserable dinosaur, but he can take it as good as he gives it (The Don Rickles Effect... which is a dying breed). Clint walked a very fine line with this character, but I think he did it successfully. And his relationship with the girl next door made you realize that he really does have a big heart, just never figured out how to show it.
There was very little about that movie that was predictable. I\'m very disappointed that this movie got completely snubbed by the academy, but I\'ll be seeing The Wrestler and Benjamin Button this week... so maybe I just don\'t yet know what it was up against.

Also saw Grand Torino this weekend. It\'s a great movie, but you had to know there is no way in hell that a movie where the hero is Archie Bunkeresque racist as the hero is not getting nominated. Just not happening. Sure, the movie is in no way encouraging racism, but people would still be offended. Especially in the hollywood film culture.

I can\'t believe I\'m spending this much time on this, but here goes:
The statement was an opinion that the Academy has it\'s own agenda for promoting films with a message it agrees with. It is an opinion that the system favors the politically correct, and there are factors in the voting other than the artistic merrits of a film and the people involved. For the same reason, they also seem to have a soft spot for movies depicting people with/overcoming disabilities. It was a statement that these awards are often about politics as much as film making.
Someone\'s right to critize an institution is the same as someone\'s right to choose their own sexual preference.
Your scramble for the moral high ground to condem this opinion is no different the preacher who points to a passage in the bible to condem alternative lifestyles.

No scramble involved. The statement is what it is. Now if you want to couch it as a criticism of the Academy fine do so.
The fact remains that whoever said it said it the way they did and that can be and was construed as homophobic. No matter what the intent was it could have been stated better if even one person misconstrues it.

While Wildcoyote\'s "friends" statement is not very accurate, you cannot deny that movies that deal in gay and lesbian theme\'s have not only done very well over the last 20 years (Philadelphia, The Crying Game, Boys Don\'t Cry, Brokeback Mountain, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle), but they also get a lot of publicity when they do win. Let\'s face it:
Hollywood loves to show how much more evolved they are then the rest of the world... smug bastards.
and
The homophobic world can\'t believe that not only did people go to see a movie about gays, but they also liked it enough to give it awards.
So they both highly publicize it. Hollywood in that "I\'m so evolved, you should smell my farts" kinda way and the Biblebelt in that "holy baby jesus, don\'t ever leave Kansas \'cause dudes are kissin\' each other out there in California".

Well first, the fact that you list 20 years of movies that you list as gay or lesbian themed and the original statement\'s bolded pieces are still used in this person\'s common conversation about the subject. It\'s about time people thought of these movies not as gay or lesbian but rather just another aspect of the human condition. That\'s why the Academy tends to vote this way because still after all these years ignorance concerning the homosexual community still runs rampant.
Second, absolutes usually portray the way a person feels about a subject.
Third, if you think it\'s hyper-sensitive west B.S. well my first point is just reinforced.

Quote from: wildcoyote;217723Quote from: leith;217722Here you go for someone that wants to continue to support denigrating others purely due to sexual preference which is what that first statement veiled as it may be is.
I can\'t believe I\'m spending this much time on this, but here goes:
The statement was an opinion that the Academy has it\'s own agenda for promoting films with a message it agrees with. It is an opinion that the system favors the politically correct, and there are factors in the voting other than the artistic merrits of a film and the people involved. For the same reason, they also seem to have a soft spot for movies depicting people with/overcoming disabilities. It was a statement that these awards are often about politics as much as film making.
Someone\'s right to critize an institution is the same as someone\'s right to choose their own sexual preference.
Your scramble for the moral high ground to condem this opinion is no different the preacher who points to a passage in the bible to condem alternative lifestyles.
For the record- Lilblondie was NOT the source of the original comment.
No scramble involved. The statement is what it is. Now if you want to couch it as a criticism of the Academy fine do so.
The fact remains that whoever said it said it the way they did and that can be and was construed as homophobic. No matter what the intent was it could have been stated better if even one person misconstrues it.
as for lilblonde if she was not the source of the comment or not I could care less the finger is still for her for butting in so rudely.
my finger is cute and painted...i already new about that conversation before he typed it...and i will and do show my finger around this board all the time...could care less who thinks i am rude...movies are movies and the academy is what it is....i also think it was just somebody trying to make a joke and nothing more...but if you are sensitive...you might want to stay away from gran torino...cause mr eastwood is one bad ass dude...and doesnt have many good things to say about anyone.....peace and love...

A cross between Howard Hughes and Sherlock Holmes, brilliant, eccentric detective Daryl Zero (Pullman), who, along with his harried helper Steve Arlo (BEN Stiller), takes on the case of a blackmailed timber tycoon (Ryan O\'Neal) in this comedic whodunit. The normally reclusive sleuth bites the bullet and agrees to trek to Oregon to personally investigate the particularly intriguing case, which also involves an attractive paramedic (Dickens). Pullman pulls off another quirky leading man performance with flair. Stiller is stellar as the exasperated assistant. Fresh idea and hip humor mark this debut for 22-year-old writer/director Kasdan, son of director Lawrence Kasdan. Quote From Movie Retriever.com

In Martin McDonagh\'s dark comedy, after accidentally killing an innocent boy in London, hit men Ray (Colin Farrell, in a Golden Globe-winning role) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are sent by their boss, Harry (Ralph Fiennes), to lay low in Bruges, Belgium. Uncomfortable in this foreign city, the two professional killers meet ecletic characters (including a drug-dealing beauty, a little person actor and a pregnant hotel owner) and soon get into trouble.
I liked this movie more than I thought I would. The ads made it looks more like a straight forward comedy, but it\'s more than that.

Very long movie. It wasn\'t a bad movie, but it didn\'t really do it for me either. I have a feeling that if I had read the book I would have enjoyed the movie much more. Too much hopping around and backstory. Great character development, but the plot left something to be desired.

I\'m skeptical about this movie. Any isight from someone that\'s seen it would be great. Is this a true biography or is it slanted to put Che in a good light. His early years (as chronicled in The Motorcycle Diaries) were tollerable, but he really wasn\'t a good person towards the later part of his life. I\'ll probably see this, but I get frustrated because I see the younger generations wearing Che shirts without knowing what he was all about.

More generically speaking; what are some good "Rock Doc" suggestions?
I\'ll check out "I\'m not there" but I have really enjoyed stuff like Walk the Line, Dig, and 24/7 Party People.
My Top 10 Music Movies:
Almost Famous - 2000 (fiction)... Cameron freakin\' Crowe, the crown prince of rock journalism. This is the biopic of every band touring in the 70\'s. Sweet Penny Lane, see you in my dreams.
La Bamba - 1987 (biopic), Lou "Diamond" Phillips - I don\'t care much for Richie Valens music, but this movie is a gem. Richie\'s half brother Bob will break your heart carnal!!
Rock Star - 2001 (fiction), Mark Walberg. Comedy, mockumentary, drama gone wrong...I don\'t think Marky Mark even knows, but this movie rules. Rumor has it they tried to get Judas Priest to do the sound track... but they turned it down... hit a little too close to home. It\'s hysterical, but really does a great job capturing what metal is all about.
The Last Waltz (documentary)- 1978, Robbie Robertson, Danko, Helm, Manuel, Clapton, Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Ringo Star, Paul Butterfield, Emmylou, Fuckin\' Dylan, Dr. John, Neil Young, Van the Man... \'nough said.
That Thing You Do (fiction) - 1996, Tom Hanks. There was a moment in the mid-90\'s that I think Hanks could actually walk on water and this movie came out right then. It\'s the perfect movie about one hit wonders. I wonder what ever happened to the O\'neders.
Before The Music Dies (documentary) - 2006 documentary with more stars then I care to name. Awesome performance clips, thought provoking subject matter
Festival Express (documentary) - 2003 documentary, The best of the west coast hippie music scene (and others) getting all kinds of fucked up on a train through Canada... what\'s not to love?
IT\'S ALL GONE PETE TONG (fiction) - 2004: Legendary euro DJ Frankie wild... black black super black comedy, at times you gotta wonder if you really are suppose to be laughing at some of Frankie\'s antics. The big club scene\'s are awesome, and the fact that the crew didn\'t stage them, but just showed up at actual clubs, set up and rolled... is down right silly.
American Hardcore (documentary) - 2006 - The golden age of Punk 79 - 86. If I was Ian MacKaye\'s defense lawyer on his trial for killing Pete Wentz, I would show this movie... all charges dropped. I have no doubts in my mind.
Bob Dylan: Don\'t Look Back - 1967 (Documentary) Bob Dylan. JUDAS!!
Honorable Mentions:
The Buddy Holly Story (biopic)
Shine a Light (doc)
Stop Making Sense (doc)
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (doc)
Backbeat (biopic)
The Doors (biopic)
Woodstock (doc)

I love those movies!! Although, Rock Star is on every weekend lately-so I\'m dunzo with that for now. Almost Famous is one of my favorite movies of all time.

An inaccurate over generalization! I must dissent. She might not let you touch them again after the kids have had them, but if she\'s in shape, she\'s in shape. At least that\'s the way I saw it when I was married...
There was a movie I saw recently where Winslet plays a woman who was brainwashed by a cult. Harvey Keitell (sp?) is the male lead. FULL FRONTAL nudity. She\'s voluptuous.
LOVE "that thing you do."

Glad to hear Robin! My lady friend is a french teacher (and I lived in France for a year) so that def helped. But it is such a well made film - the kind you need to see 3-4 times to pick up all of the levels.

also saw Gone Baby Gone, which was decent, but i didn\'t think it was deserving of the 7.9 it got on imdb. i gave it a 6.

Also, got around to finishing Man On Wire which is a documentary about Pierre Petit who tightrope walked between the two twin towers in Aug 1974. Basically shows how easy it was to break into the twin towers at that time along with this mans serious balls to do so as well as walk across 8 plus times on a wire, not to mention lying down.

Ya don\'t need to like wrestling to appreciate The Wrestler. But definitely not the feel good film of \'08, but still quality.
Marisa oh Marisa, mmmmmmm Marisa. Can you get nominated for being 44+ and having a smoking body? Maybe MTV can add a category "hottest over 40 body in a movie"... do they still have movie awards on MTV?
So I added Amelie to my Netflix queue, per the recommendation of this board... Netflix in turn recommended The Delicatessen, which I thought was pretty wild when I originally saw it (oof!! many many years ago):
Quote
Gentle clown Louison (Dominique Pinon) moves into an apartment building with a deli on the ground floor and falls for the butcher\'s daughter, Julie (Marie-Laure Dougnac). It\'s soon discovered that Julie\'s father (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) is actually butchering people ( a la Sweeney Todd) and selling the meat to tenants. At a crossroads, Julie must decide whether to remain loyal to her father or expose him to save Louison from becoming the next entree.

Well, I have never seen a movie with Marisa or Mickey before, but i thought that both of the characters felt very real to me. I also thought that Mickey did a great job of conveying the hopelessness/joy of his condition.

that clip they showed on Conan was HYSTERICAL. Bringing Larry and Woody together was destined to happen and I\'m pretty excited about it. Taking all that awkward embarrassing comedy that Larry does so well, and back it up with Woody\'s genius writing. I think if you\'re a fan of either of these guys this movie is gonna be awesome.

I also watched a documentary called Bigger, Stronger, Faster*. Entertaining, well-made, and certainly the most unbiased look at the "steroid issue" that I\'ve ever seen. Chris Bell bothers to find legitimate, pro-steroid (or, at least, not really anti-steroid) sources beyond the expected bunch of meatheads at a Gold\'s Gym.

Just watched The Reader. Definitely thought-provoking, well-made and well-acted, but I prefer a bit more entertainment with my symbolism.
Definitely a well-acted movie. Kate Winslet and whoever that make up artist was gets props, cause they made her a believable old woman.
Finally got to watch Rachel getting Married after having it in my house (netflix) for over a week. Heavy movie. Not the Anne Hathaway you normally see. She really puts in an amazing performance as a recovering drug addict going home from rehab for her sister\'s wedding. There was one scene between her mother and her, that brought me to tears, cause it hit home so hard. To me, that always = good acting.

I would rank the movies:
Burno
Borat
Ali G
I put Bruno over borat because it must have been exponetially harder to get people who didn\'t know what he was doing. Also, the whole disapearing for 8 months, then coming back was a great idea.
The celebratey video was funny as well.
He equally mocks everyone, and that is funny.

Transformers 2 was amazing and anyone who disagrees can fuck off.
I think that they made a decision; we could either go sci-fi moral relaviencey serious (100%) or we could go 100% over-the-top-nothingness.
They chose the later, they admitted that they chose the later, and I think there is some artistic merit to that.

Bruno wasn\'t that bad. The reviews made me think it would be borat for another 2 hours. Now, alot of it was, but you have to remember that all 3 of these movies (Ali G, Borat and Bruno) were all originally adapted from 10 minute scetches. As such, it was hard to have enough material for 3 2 hours movies.

^^ the first half of the movie was really funny and alot of good people have little appearances and good one liners but other then that....booty...ohhh the soundtrack was good...
I thought Funny People was fantastic. The \'laugh-out loud\' aspect definitely comes to a screeching halt at a certain point, but I think that it was a great twist on a cookie-cutter plot in several aspects. The characters were incredibly real and flawed, which made the film feel disjointed and unpolished, but in the best way possible.

Has anyone seen Moon?
yeah i thought it was pretty interesting. its a proper scifi movie without all the action.
ive been watching a couple of documentaries lately about the food industry in america and there are some pretty good ones. not sure if they were mentioned on here before but Food Inc and King Corn are two really great films that people should see. king corn can be streamed from netflix.
also for anyone who really likes intense scifi films that really make you think, check out Primer. its one of the best out there....kinda reminds me of Pi. that can also be streamed from netflix as far as i know.

I think it is up on You Tube in six parts...

Anyway, it\'s a great documentary (an hour) about the history of ***. Basically it\'s a punch of old Canadian psychiatrists talking about their experiences, personal and clinical, with ***. Dr. Hofmann is in there too.
It has great scenery of Saskatchewan, BC, and the desert south west.
Since I know there is a large percentage of people here who have, or do, enjoy lysergic acid diethylamide, I am sure some of you will appreciate this movie.
FYI: If you have Dish network, it is currently showing (7-8pm, edt, 9/13) on channel 197, the documentary channel; it shows up there maybe once a quarter.

If you like Dazed and Confused, check out Over The Edge. It\'s Matt Dillons first movie (he was 14). It\'s basically the blue print for Dazed, and it has an awesome sound track. You can stream it on Youtube.
Hmm OK as memories of a clicking cable box at a friends house come to mind, I really don\'t remember this movie being at all like Dazed and Confused.
Isn\'t it more of a drama? I remember the kids rioting and getting shot at or something like that.

Definitely more of a drama, and it ends in hardcore violence. But there are so many similarities between the movie, it\'s crazy.
Richard Linklater has even talked about how much the movie influenced D&C vibe article (http://www.viceland.com/int/v16n9/htdocs/over-the-edge-134.php?page=1).
The similarities:
bored suburban teens
rampant drug use
a rec center
an awesome rock and roll sound track
they both share a great party scene
Dazed and Confused main character = Mitch Kramer, is a dead ringer for Over the Edge lead: Carl, played by ummmm..... Micheal Kramer.

Capitalism: A Love Story
Documentary?
Director: Michael Moore
Starring: A bunch of capitalist pigs, and a few commie saints to refute them
The Lowdown: Moore uses bad-faith editing tricks to present another alarmist, partially fictionalized treatise on the evils of America, this time focusing on how Wall Street assholes raped your grandmother by issuing a mortgage they knew she couldn\'t pay -- this, after HMO assholes forced your grandfather to perform self-amputation, Army-general assholes railroaded your working-class brother into a war on Iraq, media assholes compelled your cousin to shoot up his school, corporate assholes sold your uncle\'s job to India and the president of GM himself -- also an asshole -- forced your aunt to skin her rabbits for food.
Predicted Ben Lyons Quote: "Easily the most truthful documentary ever made!"
The wonderful review left out Mr. Moores best movie; CANADIAN BACON!
Seriously, the guy should stop making mocumentaries and go back to what he is best at; self-mocking comedy.

I only saw the trailer but it looks like another highly entertaining (if not obviously from a socially and economically liberal point of view.... which I happen to usually agree with anyway) movie by a guy who\'s got pure balls and has basically made a career out of holding corporations to task when they do outrageous things at the expense or abuse of the average person.
It\'s so popular to bash Michael Moore than I often wonder if most haters have actually watched his films and created their own opinions?
Personally I love watching that fatass in a baseball cap try to sneak his way through security and get all up in some jackass CEO\'s face.

I have seen all of his movies, and I plan on seeing this one. I think that he does a good job of making his audience think, mainly pulling on the "love for my fellow man" mixed with "common sense" strands. I like that he doesn\'t claim to be something he isn\'t.
Politically, I agree with him, and I think he does a good job of being funny while telling a story with an obivous slant.

the boy who cried fascist!! Classic.
I totally agree.
As a movie fan, I love what he does. Roger and Me was my favorite documentary, up until I saw Man On Wire.
As someone who stands left of center... I\'m usually closer to his idea\'s then I am to those on the right.
However, he\'s good at what he does. He\'s the liberal\'s Fox news.

Watch out it\'s orange! Michael Moore\'s new movie might just bump it up to red!
A more accurate comparison would be Keith Olbermann and Rachael Maddow vs Sean Hannity and Bill O\'Reilly. Except these liberal MSNBC primetime news hosts actually cover the news and take pride on being factual in doing so (although with more of a focus on issues that interest liberals like myself).
Sean Hannity and Bill O\'Reilly and whatever other clones I\'m glad to be mostly unaware of on Fox News are true mockeries of the honorable profession of journalism. Facts be damned, let\'s get Ann Coulter on here to talk shit about Hillary for an hour...

I totally agree with your message. I totally think Hannity and O\'Reilly are ass clowns that insult the idea of journalism with every story they report.
But I sit there and talk to family members who are staunch conservatives (and intelligent people) and they truly believe the exact opposite. In their eye\'s Olbermann is lying to his viewers.

The guy that wrote the novel (Richard Yates) clearly had some seriously f\'ed up issues with the institution of marriage. I wonder if it was his parents failed marriage or his 2 failed marriages that gave him those issues?

I guess it\'s a good thing that it was adapted to film (because I wouldn\'t have seen it otherwise), but it\'s clearly a play first and a film second. Who would have thought that, in a film featuring great performances by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep, the defining, tour de force performance would be by Viola Davis?

It was also historically accurate. Think he was trying to portray the fucked up nature of women\'s powerlessness over their own bodies, and what that drove them to do. The emergence of Leavitt towns and the new, often false, American dream was the other important frame. Yes, the movie was depressing as fuck. But damn good.

As for Where The Wild Things Are..it was an okay movie..I view it while wearing my clinical thereapist hat. That being said I think it does a good job of touching on a child\'s feelings or the out of control way a child can feel in the world. He is experiencing lots of levels of loss and is able to go to a place where others are experiencing the same thing and it lets him heal in some way and make it back home. I mean the book had a total of maybe 10 if that sentences in it..so you obvi have to read the between the lines...anyways I dont think it was for younger children but I did appreciate what Spike was trying to put out there...and i dont think that anyone can deny feeling like Max...one, twice or a million times in their life...

this is more of a warning than a suggestion. this movie is a huge disappointment and really goes no where. it is basically 90 minutes of a child who throws temper tantrums hanging out with a mangy monster who has the voice of tony soprano (i could not get past the tony soprano voice). there is really no climatic final moment or message in the movie and it gets pretty dark and depressing-not at all what you would expect from a movie that has been advertised as a family/childrens film. i would not take my 5 year old cousin to see this because i really think it would give him nightmares. not worth seeing at all.
glad i saw zombieland instead.
Post by: SlimPickens on October 19, 2009, 05:11:03 pm
First, I don\'t believe the Spike ever intended this to be a young childrens movie. I remember being scared by this book as a 4 -5 year old.
I think that it\'s only in a older childs/ young adults mind that a 10 sentence book can really start to expand into the alternate reality implied by the book.
For every negative review I\'ve heard (from a lot of people/ print sources) I\'ve also heard a glowing review. Seems like a controversial piece of art and I\'m looking forward to seeing it.
Sendak has praised the final cut which is a good sign.
ps - while in all the ad\'s the Tony Soprano voice has always seemed weird... give this to Spike, he did choose a gigantic, disgusting nose breathing beast of an actor to voice the wild thing. Seems appropriate on paper.

"Rickey,
Just coming from seeing \'Where the Wild Things Are.\' You need to get Fucked Up and go see this flick....freak\'n Forest (sweaty man) Whitaker dressed up as a furry monster with horns, chasing a kid dressed as a freak\'n wolf, who gets swallowed by a short, fat, female monster, who has a raccoon roaming around inside her stomach....(and that\'s just ten minutes of this surreal movie)

I know I\'m a bit behind on this, but I just watched Doubt. Incredible writing and incredible performances all around. I guess it\'s a good thing that it was adapted to film (because I wouldn\'t have seen it otherwise), but it\'s clearly a play first and a film second. Who would have thought that, in a film featuring great performances by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep, the defining, tour de force performance would be by Viola Davis?
Great recommendation Drew. This movie was incredible.

AWESOME soundtrack if you like Rock and Roll from the 60\'s.

Excellent casting and great acting.

I always loved this story and given how much the music industry has changed, I think it\'s something good for the kids to see these days. Can\'t wait to check it out and see how closely they followed the actual history. :thumbsup:
Post by: SlimPickens on December 01, 2009, 02:03:19 pm
Somewhere between a "Best In Show" styled mockumentary and a VH1 Behind The Music lies the tale of fake country music legend Guy Terrifico. This movie starts out feeling cheap and contrived, but quickly sucks you in, until you forget that Guy Terrifico didn\'t really exist.
(http://www.fulvuedrive-in.com/cover/LIFEGUYTERRIF.jpg)
Two things legitamize this movie. First, the countless interviews with some of the biggest country and rock and roll stars of the Sixties and Seventies. Ronnie Hawkins, Merle Haggard, Levon Helm, Chris Kristofferson, etc., all give accounts of performing and partying with Guy that seem so honest, that you wonder how the creators of this movie got such natural performances from these guys. The second element is the music. This movie was written and directed by Michael Mabbott, and all the music was written by him and the films star Matt Murphy (Guy Terrifico). They do a great job of capturing that late Sixties country rock style.
If you\'re a fan of The Flying Burrito Brothers, the Band, Dylan, etc etc, you need to see this movie. Set your expectations low, but be ready for surprises.
Post by: leith on December 01, 2009, 07:08:54 pm
Yes the interviews are so authentic you do forget they are talking about a fictional person.
I actually had to check out who did the music because it was so damn good.
Def. an A+ music movie.

it stars Bruno Ganz, who\'s awesome, probably best known for playing Hitler in the most incredible WWII movie ever Downfall, which the folks on the interweb love making these fake meme renditions where they change the subtitles:
I just read on imdb that the director of Downfall loves these fakes and has watched 145 of them.

Have not seen Halloween 2 yet but if it is along the lines of Rob Zombies other films it will be bloody, have a very loose plot, and be laughable at best. but i guess if you like that "typical shit" genre then you are in for a treat.
Really good recent movies: The White Ribbon, Lorna\'s Silence and i have not seen it but everyone says the Hurt Locker is really good.
I haven\'t seen Zombie\'s first two movies, but his remake of Halloween was pretty good... He stuck to the original plot, but added a back story that would explain why Michael Myers went nuts... It was definitely more violent than the original, but not completely over the top...
1st - If you\'re note a fan of the Horror genre, you will think that it\'s all "typical shit", but there\'s more to a good number of these movies than just killing and blood and guts...
2nd - The description of The White Ribbon on imdb sounds like a modern and foreign version of Children of the Corn... This was done back in the 80\'s...
3rd - Lorna\'s Silence doesn\'t do anything for me, as to most foreign movies...
4th - Hurt Locker: I remember seeing the preview for this and it hit too close to home with one of my good friends, so I really have no reason to watch it... I already sat w/ my grandfather and watched him re-live hell during Saving Private Ryan...

i am a fan of the horror genre, but it has to be smart. If i have learned anything from rob zombie its that he goes for visual before intellectual. keeping it simple and leaving the gore up to the viewer, i think, is the best way to approach a horror movie.
White ribbon IS done to look very old, but it does it while using very modern technology and classical influence. very well thought out but could appear boring from a movie goers who love their CG.
I love a well put together foreign film! have you seen Waltz with Bashir yet? Amazing! the best part of foreign films is the concept of the plot, which is more often then not factual.
But what i am really pumped about is that Caprica is now a series! the made for tv movie was a great prequel to BSG and it looks very well put together and thought out. I know BSG gets shot down quickly on this site but i don\'t care.

One of my favorite scenes is still from Friday the 13th: Part 7 when Jason picks up the victim in a sleeping back and grabs her by the feet and flings her against the tree like a baseball bat... I like the natural fright that the original Halloween provides, but I also like the gore...

13 Tzameti (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475169/)
Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men.
I included a write up for this one because I think you should go in fresh and not watch the preview. The preview is what hooked me on watching this film but I would have been more caught off guard had I not seen it. It\'s pretty suspenseful.

Also, go see burn after reading. :lol:
i am going to see that movie this weekend and i cant wait.
Burn After Reading was pretty fantastic i have to say... saw it in an impromptu trip after jazz duo (penta?) last night @ CJs. i hadn\'t seen too many previews or heard too much about it, and im glad i didnt, because i was certainly surprised. some amazing quirky characters, overly dramatic music, and unforgettable 1-liners. i will certainly be seeing it in the theater at least once more ! :)
Burn After Reading is f**ing hiLARious!!!! LOVEDIT!

* 13 Assassins (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1436045/) The last ~45 minutes is by far the best fighting sequence I\'ve ever seen in an action movie
13 Tzameti (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475169/) - What limits does a son go to to help provide for his ailing family? It\'s short but once the stage is set it\'s one of the most intense films out there.
* Election (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434008/) - Part 1 of 2 basically dealing with a triad mob warfare
Triad Election (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491244/)
* 36th Precinct (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390808/) - 2 cops making moves to the top amidst a group pulling a city wide robbing spree
* Dead Snow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1278340/) - Vacationing students stumble across zombies...nazi zombies. It\'s not as cheesy as it sounds though.
* The Lost (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451102/) - Original slasher film that shows you the evolution of a serial killer
*The House of the Devil (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172994/) - Throw back to 80\'s horror movies
* The Shrine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341710/) - The ending is not what I expected at all. Only plot issue is what became of the picture? I figured it would be a hanger at the end but it doesn\'t take away from the film that they left it out. Also, the Polish (?) dialogue is supposed to be without subtitles.
