The Day - low budget post apocalyptic horror. I thought it was much better than it's 5.8 score on IMDB and one of the most realistically portrayed post-apocalyptic movies I've seen. Not as good as The Road but I found myself caring about the characters, which normally isn't the case for me watching movies like this.

 

[El Floppo]

So- Cloud Atlas... baby-sitter/night-out to see it on the big-screen worthy?

Reviews not too hot for Atlas but I can tell you End of Watch is superb.

I think that's one I'll wait for on the small screen. Our chances for going out with a 1 and 5yo and the high cost of babysitting for the evening here in NYC makes picking the movie vital; it typically needs to be something "big-screen" worthy... ie: a decent enough movie that more importantly looks great big.

Dude, see The Master.

Just noticed Tom Tykwer directed Cloud? Really like his work that I've seen.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Cloud is a mess from everything I have read. Which makes sense, as some unfilmable novels really are unfilmable. I would reccommend Argo or Looper. Two of the best movies I have seen this year.

Is the book worth reading though? (Cloud Atlas)

Wake In Fright

Fantastically brutal, Wake In Fright is a humanly realistic psychological thriller/drama film about a man travelling through a mining town in the middle of the Australian Outback. It was known as Australia's great lost film as the only remaining print wasn't good enough to make a VHS or DVD copy, but after recently finding an untarnished print in Pittsburgh the film now has had a DVD/Blu ray release. Great acting, great editing, great cinematograpghy; the film is definitely a trip to behold that I'm sure most frequenters in this thread would enjoy. I will point out that PETA would definitely not approve of this film; something to keep in mind if you find that sort of thing difficult to watch.

Brilliant movie, perhaps the best animated film I've seen. Fans of the graphic novel should enjoy the film. Very faithful to the source material. Looking forward to Part 2.

4.5/5

nevermind i found it

Spoiler

In addition to the film's atmosphere of sordid realism, the kangaroo hunting scene contains graphic footage of kangaroos actually being shot. A disclaimer at the conclusion of the movie states:

Producers' Note. Photography of the hunting scenes in this film took place during an actual kangaroo hunt conducted by licensed professional hunters. No kangaroos were expressly killed for this motion picture. Because the survival of the Australian kangaroo is seriously threatened these scenes were included with approval of leading animal welfare organisations in Australia and the United Kingdom.[7]

 

[Chaka]

Argo - Hmmmmmmmmmm...okay this is definitely a good film so let's get that out of the way right now. The feel and look really captured the period the film takes place in, very authentic. The acting was IMO top notch, I think Affleck gets a bad rap as an actor and he was quite good in this film. Cranston gives an Oscar nomination worthy performance IMO.

With that out of the way I found this movie to not be that entertaining. As good as the film looked and as well as it was acted I don't feel that I got to know any of the characters, particularly the hostages. Also while the opening scene of the U.S. embassy being taken was excellent there really wasn't much tension or suspense, and the tension they tried to manufacture felt forced*. I think the marketing campaign for the film really damaged it from a storytelling perspective. I knew exactly what to expect and the film really didn't expand on anything they gave us in the commercials.

*For example

Spoiler

Okay so the kids reassemble the pictures and one of the hostages is recognized from that picture and the picture taken of them when they were "scouting locations" in the Bazaar. Got it, no problem. They then figure out that they left the Canadian home and are likely heading to the airport so they call the airport and the guys at the gate figure it out and start chasing after them in a style highly reminiscent of the Keystone Cops. Great communication but then no one manages to also call the air traffic control tower and hold the flight? What? No phones in the tower?

That just felt like a weak attempt to manufacture tension.

Definitely worth seeing and I am sure it will get plenty of love during awards season, but I don't think you need to rush out and see it on the big screen.

Although they say they got approval from animal welfare organisations, I'd have to imagine if the same film were made today they certainly would not have gotten such approval.

Spoiler

I suppose the shooting of the kangaroos isn't that graphic as they're mostly just getting shot in their big bodies, but I'd venture at least several kangaroos in all were killed, and the way the scene was edited it definitely makes you feel sick to your stomach, which is clearly what the director was going for. And it's not shown on screen, but it is implied that 2 wounded kangaroos get stabbed to death.

The Hunter

Thought this was a sleeper. Good story, great scenery, and I always liked Willem Dafoe as an actor. It is slow paced, though, so don't expect an "action" movie.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

The Campaign: Some good laughs. Typical Ferrell and Galifianakis shtick. 3/5

Seeking A Friend: Meh. Pretty boring. Carell is great in supporting roles but he should never again be a lead in a movie. Keira Knightly is so awesome. 1.5/5

Shark Night: Terrible. Just terrible. I knew it wasn't going to be good but holy hell was it bad. Piranha pulled it off the right level of shtick and gore and knew what it was. Shark Night didn't have a clue.

Safety Not Guaranteed: Great movie. Light humor mixed in with some good drama and mystery. Every role was so well done. 4/5

 

[cstu]

Some Guy Who Kills People: A lot of dark humor with some literally lines. I watched it expecting very little but I really enjoyed it. Not at all the slasher flick I thought it was going to be. 8/10.

I DVR'd this flick from IFC about a month ago.

It starts out really slow....really slow.

But when it picks up the pace it is a pretty good movie.

Natalie Portman is a fantastic actress.

Safety Not Guaranteed: Great movie. Light humor mixed in with some good drama and mystery. Every role was so well done. 4/5

I watched these two over the last few days and agree with your assessment. Quite a few good laughs in The Campaign which make it worth the watch, but overall I think it was lucky it clocked in under 90mins (which is what comedies should be at).

I loved Safety Not Guaranteed, but I wish I could unsee the last 5mins or so of the film. It really felt out of place with the rest of it and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

While not necessarily better, I was fully expecting him to say that he no longer needed to go back because he had found her instead, and them to leave open whether or not he really could have gone back.

The tone of the films changed dramatically as they progressed. I think Rami was going for legit horror with the first one but so many people found it campy and fun that he moved in that direction with the sequels. Army of Darkness easily has the most replay value and is without question my favorite of the three but that is because it is so darn funny not because it is a good horror film. Unlike the first two AoD is an action/adventure/comedy while the others, I think, were intended to be straight horror.

I agree for the most part, but I guess campy movies like the 2nd two play better for a crowd imo. Humor is a funny thing, and I just don't find it as humorous sitting by myself, hence the only one I revisit is the first one.

Yes I would have much preferred that they left it to the viewer at least to some degree. They went 85 minutes of making a relatively realistic film, and then in the last minute of the movie they did a complete 180, which left with me feeling "WTF", which doesn't really jive with the feelings I felt for the large majority of the film.
