Michael Fassbender is about to BLOW THE FUCK UP in Hollywood, he's easily one of the best actors around. "Inglorious", "Hunger", "A Fish Tank" (absolutely chilling performance in that one), "Eden Lake", dude is the real deal. |
'Donnie Brasco,' because I was kind of hungry for manicotti and I wanted to beat off to Johnny Depp in something where he wasn't a pirate.

RUSH - 8/10
|
![]() the american friend. pretty good. definitely liked it but i can't give a rating right now |
hah, weird, i just watched that like 2 weeks ago. loved it!!
wim wenders is great, paris texas is a masterpiece. |
Andrei Zvyagintsev's The Return---eh
Nuri Bilge Ceylan floored me with Climates and Distance... I've rewatched most of Antonioni's films in the past month, even his later, exhausting documentaries. |

haha. seeing all the movies everyone on here watches... i often wonder if any 2 of us are watching the same thing at the same time |

speaking of wenders, i only recently realized "city of angels" was a remake |
ANTONIONI rules. IDENTIFICATION OF A WOMAN is one of my favorites by him, though it never gets mentioned. Red Desert is my favorite though..
|
just watched rush.. 7/10. didn't know jennifer jason leigh was so hot:

Milian just wasn't the best actor for the role, I suppose. But yes, it's a favorite of mine also. "The Passenger"... Oberwald also gets a bad rap, and Il Grido isn't as widely-received as it should be. Seymour Chapman has a great book-length study of Antonioni, you should check it out. |
I think I will.
There is just a special atmosphere and tone in his films you can't get anywhere else. Only one I don't really get into is Zabriskie Point, but that has its moments.. just a bit of a mess. |
![]() 8/10 I like to watch it every few years to relive the violence. The 80's Hong Kong cheese is evident but I still love it. HARD BOILED will be coming via netflix soon!!!! |
Iron Man 2
3/10 SUUUCKED. The scenes with Downey, Jr. and Paltrow could have ruined Citizen Kane, annoying as hell. Scarlett looked amazing but was pointless in the film. Don Cheadle was the worst. Sam Rockwell wasn't the actor you'd expect after watching "Moon". About 35 minutes too long. The plot was a mess. Just boring and annoying and dull. Mickey was cool though. The best thing in the flick was his accent and breaking out of jail and blowing shit up and snapping a guy's neck. |
Yeah, it looked like shit. But then again, I never saw the first one.
|
The first one was very good. I enjoyed it and it made what was a dull comic book into a very entertaining adult superhero (not like spidey's baby-cry whinning pussy shit. fuck that comic sucked)
Iron man never had any good bad guys, any good archenemies. he was cool as part of the avengers but as a solo comic it was shit. I will watch Iron man 2 when it hits the redbox for a $ |
Sam Rockwell is a bad-ass though. I guess blame th writing/directing?
He mad eme laugh so MUCH in Galaxy Quest |
Saw Iron Man 2 (First showing), and though I have nitpicks here and there, overall I thought it was better than the first. (And I was pleasantly surprised by the first one)
So far I've read several reviews ask, "Where's the action at? Where's the fun?". There isn't a lot of "action" per se; It's about Stark's battles with his own demons as he comes to terms with being Iron Man. An enjoyable film. ~Jeremy~ |
Rockwell is amazing, he just wasn't very impressive in this film.

Really? I thought he did a good job as a smarmy asshole who you want to get punched in the face. I actually think the changes they made on him from the comics were some wise moves.... Makes him and Stark seem a lot more like natural enemies. Did you stay after the credits? ~Jeremy~ |

That's what I was expecting, so instead of catching the midnight showing I just went to see Kick-Ass again. The patrons in waiting probably didn't care much for my parting comment of "Who the fuck would care to see Iron Man after that?" |
Quote:
Yeah, Thorr's Hammer, whatever. Thorr is silly. |
The trailer for "Inception" made me hard.
|
Yea, the post-credit bit I was expecting, I was awaiting a reference to another franchise. If Edward Norton was returning as The Incredible Hulk, they surely would have used him somehow.
Inception does look pretty kick ass. You can't go wrong with Christopher Nolan. ~Jeremy~ |
About to watch Vittorio De Sica's Two Women. Great director.
|
The Informers - and I fucking loved it. Like all of the Ellis' adaptations.
|
the imaginarium of docter parasldkfjlaskdjf
it was a trip. i like heath ledger. it was fun to think of all the symbolism/metephors. i will probably watch it again. ALSO. it was nice to see a bigger box office movie with a sexy red head in it rather than a nerdy gross one. |

![]() 5/10 Falls into the enjoyably bad category although some of the fighting was decent. Hilariously bad dubbing. |

![]() 6/10. It looked great but It was missing something. Hard to say exactly what but I found it a bit of a slog to get through, not quite tedious, and too much reliant upon the quite limited emotional range of Verne Troyer. I know they had to do a pretty severe rewrite seeing as homeslice died before filming any of the "morror interior" scenes. Gilliam managed to make a movie out of it, but any in-depth exploration of the WEIRD shit in this movie, which Gilliam is usually very good at, seemed to have ended up on the cutting room floor. I watched it all but I did not enjoy the ride. |
