Been wanting to see this for awhile, finally saw it tonight. Really fun.

I only saw Bava's DEMONS 2. Didn't love it.

I don't like any of the Demons films very much.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot for the 100th time - 100/10

Derek 10.18.2010 04:36 PM


Exotica

The Adjuster



Both 8/10. :)

great no budget film

10/10. Three hours long and I'm still never tired of watching this masterpiece. P.T. Anderson is my favorite director of all time.

atsonicpark 10.20.2010 08:39 AM

Yeah, it's alright -- Tom Cruise was actually decent in it. Kevin Smith thinks it's the worst film ever, so it has to be good. Hah.

One of my absolute favourites of all time. A superbly well written, shot and acted emotional rollercoaster. Masterpiece indeed.

Magnolia was great. But I wouldnt S his D as a director. Punch Drunk was terrible me thinks. I do think Boogie Nights is great too though.

What ? Punch-Drunk Love is amazing, I think I said it before but it has to be my favorite movie ever. It's just PTA at his finest, this movie is really clever and weird, some shots are just so beautiful that I can't explain why I love them AND Adam Sandler is so great in it (and I'm not usually a fan of his acting)... Really, Punch-Drunk Love is the perfect movie to me. I had never thought a romance movie would be my favorite but seriously, I've never felt that way about a movie... Anyway, he did like five movies and four of them are in my top 10 of all time :

10. Sin City
9. Boogie Nights
8. Reservoir Dogs
7. Magnolia
6. There Will Be Blood
5. Clerks.
4. Mulholland Dr.
3. Pulp Fction
2. Fargo
1. Punch-Drunk Love

Ohhh, a chance to rate!

10. Sin City - 7/10 (Rodriguez's best)
9. Boogie Nights - 5/10 (decent movie but not one I find myself ever having the desire to watch)
8. Reservoir Dogs - 7/10 (would rate higher if so much of it wasn't ripped directly off of the superior City on Fire -- still, Tarantino's best by far)
7. Magnolia - 6/10 (interesting film, if a bit long)
6. There Will Be Blood - 6/10 (just a good little film)
5. Clerks. - 8/10 (great acting, holds up upon rewatches; everyone was on the ball here)
4. Mulholland Dr. - 8/10 (I'd say my favorite Lynch film is Fire Walk With Me, but this one has some of his best scenes, like the little "old people" with the Chipmunk voices, and the scary bum behind the alley)
3. Pulp Fction - 6/10 (felt like a crime version of Short Cuts, neat little movie, though I find bits of it uninteresting)
2. Fargo - 9/10 (the Coen Brothers are the best mainstream directors we have, and all the performances in this are incredible. I dunno if I'd rate this as my favorite movie by them, what with Blood Simple and Barton Fink existing.. but I think Buscemi makes this film, so eh.. yeah.. 9/10!)
1. Punch-Drunk Love - 6/10 (not really my thing, and I just flat-out don't like Adam Sandler. Despite this movie having a lot going against it, it's just a good little film)

All good movies.

My top 15 at the moment would be:

15. Love is Colder than Death
14. Tokyo Fist
13. Funeral Procession of Roses
12. Persona
11. Bed You Sleep In
10. Bad Lieutenant (original)
9. Blow Out
8. The Killer
7. Pierrot Le Fou
6. Pastoral: To Die in the Country
5. Possession
4. Hana-Bi
3. Eureka
2. El Topo
1. Taxi Driver

Feel free to rate them!

noisereductions 10.20.2010 08:37 PM

ok, rate we will

10. Sin City - 4/5
9. Boogie Nights - 5/5
8. Reservoir Dogs - 4/5
7. Magnolia - 4/5
6. There Will Be Blood - haven't seen it yet
5. Clerks. - 4/5
4. Mulholland Dr. - 5/5
3. Pulp Fction - 5/5
2. Fargo - 3/5 (just keeping it real)
1. Punch-Drunk Love - 2/5

atsonicpark 10.20.2010 08:40 PM

3/5 for Fargo? That's the best movie on that list! BY FAR.

Also, isn't a 5 point rating scale kind of a cop-out? Wouldn't nearly ALL movies be 3/5? If there were half-point ratings, it wouldn't be so bad (you know, then most movies would be like a 2.5). On the other hand, when I rate out of 10, for some reason everyone thinks a "5/10" is a low rating when it clearly means average. So, maybe I should rate out of 5. I'll start now.. every movie on my list was a 5/5.

like I said, just keeping it real. Honest opinion. For me:

1 - hate
2 - don't like much
3 - like
4 - like a lot
5 - love

Fargo = I like it. It has nothing to do with me grading script, acting, directing, ANYTHING. Just how I feel. I like it. I like the other movies more myself.
