certainly not as good as House Of The Devil. But it had such good ideas. The acting was kind of meh. I'd give it a 3/5. I did really like the horror host thing. I think Ti West will make more good movies.

TheFoxBen 01.17.2010 10:31 AM

I rewatched :

 


10/10. Still fucking perfect.

noisereductions 01.17.2010 11:02 AM

I don't think it's perfect. But it is a great debut.

atsonicpark 01.17.2010 04:13 PM

Clerks is close to perfection, and I hate Kevin Smith. Clerks 2 is TERRIBLE.

noisereductions 01.17.2010 04:45 PM

I actually enjoyed Clerks II, though they are certainly 2 different movies. I don't hate Kevin Smith. I like him quite a bit. But I hate Dogma. And I hate Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

TheFoxBen 01.17.2010 04:47 PM

I like all his movies, EVEN Jersey Girl.

That's all.

atsonicpark 01.17.2010 05:44 PM

I think Dogma is probably in the top 10 worst films ever made...

I like Jersey Girl. But Dogman and Jay & Silent Bob blow.

I too found Dogma hilarious.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for Ti to completely blow me away with something soon. I am certain he will. Sooner than later, if he drops the auteur attitude and starts working with writers. House of the Devil was beautiful, but it felt a little thin (just like The Roost).

noisereductions 01.20.2010 08:15 PM

House Of The Devil was leaps and bounds better than The Roost though. He figured out atmosphere completely. So I feel like he's improving.

me too, i left the theater scratching my head.

i mean, i thought it was good but it's my least favorite tarantino film.

atsonicpark 01.21.2010 05:01 AM

Basterds was alright, Tarantino hasn't ever made a really good film though.

A Thousand Threads 01.21.2010 06:43 AM

Watched Cronenberg's The Dead Zone for the first time yesterday and was a bit disappointed.
One of his lesser works in my opinion.

_slavo_ 01.21.2010 07:47 AM

"The Road" with Viggo Mortensen.
It was good, kind of Fallout-like.

I haven't seen the CSI two-parter that he directed yet.

trhe CSI he directed was TENSE and great

noisereductions 01.21.2010 10:50 AM

TheFoxBen 01.21.2010 12:49 PM

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the series but his CSI episode is quite great

tw2113 01.21.2010 01:03 PM

Tarentino just doesn't do much for me. Sorry, but it's true

I'll still sleep just fine.

chicka 01.21.2010 01:49 PM

Pretty decent ratings NR but definitely 3/5 is to low for Jackie Brown. I haven't seen Basterds yet so I can't rate it. Does he get any credit for Hostel? Also the trailer for Machete?

noisereductions 01.21.2010 02:02 PM

he only produced (gave $) Hostel. And Machete is by Eli Roth, not Tarantino.

Rob Instigator 01.21.2010 02:50 PM

jackie bROWN is nearly flawless man! deniro hittin a bong and complaining about it being cashed out?
priceless!

atsonicpark 01.21.2010 03:06 PM

The Dead Zone is a masterpiece!

Anyway..

Sans Soleil - 8/10
La Jatee - 8/10
Revanche - 8/10
A Serious Man - 8/10
WAX or the Discovery of Television Among Bees - 7/10

yeah. Yeah. That whole scene is great. I guess the more I think about it, it's 4/5.

Rob Instigator 01.21.2010 03:52 PM

I have watched it thrice and each time was better than the last

noisereductions 01.21.2010 03:53 PM

isn't it by robert rodriguez? i mean, danny trejo is in every one of his movies.

at least the machete feature film will be rodriguez's, i guess.

jackie brown is one of my favorite films ever; love the mixed up plot, love the characters, the acting, the shots, the music. i guess it's hard to relate for some people since it doesn't have gore or a lot of action and the central characters are older types and (mostly) black.

underrated movie.

----

by the way, last two i saw were monty python and the holy grail (claaaassic!!) and --speaking of rodriguez-- once upon a time in mexico; it was entertaining, very tarantino-esque in that he took mexploitation (like quentin has with samurai, kung fu, blaxploitation, gangster, war, tracheotomy, etc. movies) and made it his own with a big budget and hollywood actors.

atsonicpark 01.21.2010 11:58 PM
