I've bought maybe 3 DVDs since I subscribed to Netflix 4 years ago. (Hot Rod, Red Dawn, Punisher War Zone)

I was just stunned at how violent this movie was. Probably the best collection of death scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

Is that with the guy from Hung?? If so

The Invention of Lying.

I found it clever and entertaining enough but even though the premise is clever, the execution is frequently lacking. Good for a few laughs but ultimately I am a little disappointed because I thought it could have become much more.

Also I completely understand why many are put off with the direction the film decided to go. Didn't bother me too much but I can get why it would bother many others.

I agree the movie was flawed, although it did make me laugh out loud several times. That alone is enough reason for me to recommend the movie.I won't argue with that I appreciated it's creativity and there were definitely some good laughs.

Just watched Law Biding Citizen - I know it was a bit over the top and got slammed in the reviews but I really dug it.

An enjoyable revenge flick IMO.

The one I'm referring to is the newer one with the dude from Rome, its much more violent.I'm a huge fan of the Punisher comics, it was pretty much all I collected as a kid and I think this movie captures the zany, morbid, essence perfectly. McNulty from the Wire is over the top to the point of distraction, but Doug Hutchinson is tremendous as Looney Bin Jim.

Really disappointed this flopped as I was all anxious of seeing Ray Stephenson in a sequel. Being one of like 6 people in the theater opening night for it kind of nixed my expectations on that.

I remember the Thomas Jayne version being pretty awful. No, we're talking about the one with Ray Stevenson.

Which one were you? I was the guy in the Saints hat.Plenty of action in that Punisher movie btw

Edge of Darkness

I am one of the biggest anti-Mel people on this board but I admit this movie wasn't bad. I was expecting a typical revenge flick but it chose a more subdued path for the lead character that I found to be refreshing. The plot was limited and required more than a few McGuffin's to keep it moving, and we were given an audience appeal ending on for two of the story lines but overall I thought it was a pretty decent flick.

This film probably would have done much better if Mel wasn't box office poison right now.

 

[Kenny Powers]

The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Worth a watch. Nick Cage was actually NOT annoying in this, I think he did a pretty good job, and I like the young guy who played his apprentice (cant remember his name). 7/10

Jay Baruchel

Inception - Need to watch it again. 7/10

Death at a Funeral - Some good laughs. 7/10

Really? and Im assuming DaAF is the Rock remake which makes it even more questionable.

Jay Baruchel

We saw this over the weekend and liked too. Although, I couldn't get it out of my head that Baruchel did the voice for Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. I also saw DiCaprio's The Beach - 6/10

Eh. Not terrible, but I can see why it tanked at the B.O.

I liked the original a good bit. Im saying thinking the original was as good as Inception is one thing, but saying the Rock remake is as good is a whole other story. Since all the other movies he saw are recent releases, Im kind of assuming its the remake. That said, I havent seen the remake, I just cant imagine it being anywhere near as good as the original - or better than average cimedy in the first place.

Ok, yeah I'm with you then. I can't imagine ever having time for the remake despite liking most of the cast. Probably the most unnecessary remake to date.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Looking for classic or recent movies that are simply "fun" and that my 8-year old son and I could both watch and both enjoy.

I'm not sure what the criteria I want to use is, other than "equally entertaining for both 8 year old boy and dad," and "I haven't seen it a million times (which precludes Star Wars, Princess Bride, and some other greats). Looking for overlooked greats.

The first movie on the list will be: Searching for Bobby Fisher. I haven't seen it for years, but I'm thinking this would be perfect for an 8-year old. I'll post again with his and my thoughts.

After that, I am considering Spellbound, but my wife thinks that will be too old/intense for him.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Spellbound will be just fine for him. And god, Searching for Bobby Fischer is just about a perfect movie. Actually a bit more intense than Spellbound, but should be fine.

I don't know about perfect, but my wife and I both really liked Searching for Bobby Fischer. It's available on Netflix instant streaming. 4/5

I love when dad is talking to teacher. Teacher is dismissing the chess as a mere game. He's trying to explain to her how good the kid is and says something like "do you understand he's better at chess than you or I are at ANYTHING we will ever do in our lives?"Great movie.

I loved Spellbound, one of my favourite movies of all time, let alone documentaries. Going to have to check out Searching for Bobby Fischer.

Winter's Bone

The most realistic, down to earth, major film made in years. Great script, great acting, great cinematography and directing. But the story........left a lot to be desired for this guy, really wish they would have opened it up a little at the end. Also, the part with where they log the forest was kind of bush league the way it was handled. Logging really isn't raping and pillaging the land like it's portrayed here. Also, for everything else being so realistic, the drug use was kind of over the top. Nobody carries around $500 worth of Meth in a plastic baggy and they would be smoking a lot more of it rather than snorting.

3.5/5

A beautiful film though.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I am in the camp of the last few reviews of Winter's Bone. Great acting and mood. It was just lacking 'something' that would put it in the great category for me.

Totally agree with hooter.And I LOVED seeing a couple of the Deadwood gang in there (what a great show that was)- I could see Teardrop getting some recognition come award time. And the casting was so dead on in this- seemed like a combo of pros and amateurs for local flavor (but I could be wrong about the amateurs)- a lot like Barfly.

Those homes they used had to be the real deal inside and out. No set designer could get that close to the real thing. If they did, I couldn't give them enough kudos in the world.Pretty sure the salebarn they used with the raised walkway is in Northern Wisconsin, but I could be wrong. Grew up in the livestock industry. The shots they used had me wondering if they just walked into a real sale and filmed it. If authentic is what your looking for, it's never been done at this level better than this.

IIRC from my one college film class, the term is Mis En Scene. And yeah- absolutely perfect. And then wrapping the technical aspects into that- sound and lighting particularly- were brilliantly done to not lose the sense of what those places felt and looked like. Except, in my case at least, for the sound of the lead.

Law Abiding Citizen

Meh. It was ok. Yet another mediocre choice for Gerard Butler. The guy showed a lot of promise in Dear Frankie. But here we have a cliche-ridden thriller #7,453.

Not sure, I had seen your complaint earlier and I flipped on subtitles right away. Once I get going I have no idea what I read and what I heard. This film had some awesome lines it."I already told you once, with my mouth."

[jdoggydogg]

So did anybody else have a problem hearing the lead? (in winter's bone)

Yes. This isn't necessarily new, but there are several examples of movies where the actors practically whisper. I know this may seem more realistic, but it's nearly inaudible. So you need to crank up the volume just to hear it. And inevitably, the very next moment is a thunderous boom that deafens you. Yeah, messing with the volume kinda takes away from the realism.

There are a few chameleons in film - Gary Oldman comes to mind. But mostly, I am really sick of seeing the same actor in movies over and over again. In The Terminal, Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski - a guy with a heavy foreign accent. I count myself as a Tom Hanks fan, but there is simply no way I can forget I am watching Tom Hanks.I've long said that Cameron Diaz ruined Gangs of New York for me. But re-watching it recently, this was a mistake of casting. No, Diaz isn't a great actor. But that role could have gone to dozens of actresses that would have been far more appropriate for the part.

Ok- phew.But the main problem for me was that she was inaudible, but whoever she was talking to had the proper volume. Strange.

That just seems bizarre to me. This movie was so far removed from something like what you are suggesting that I can't understand how this film could possibly go in that direction.
Not every story ends with the good guys killing the bad guys. I think that theme would have been horribly misplayed if they included it in this film.

Yeah he turns up in a lot of stuff. Deadwood was awesome of course but it wasn't quite enough for me to recognize him on site in other roles. For example I was watching an old episode of X-Files and he turned up, it was driving me crazy because I couldn't place where I knew him from.After WB and Eastbound & Down he's become pretty hard for me to miss.

Good actor.

 

[Daywalker]

If it hasn't been mentioned already "Temple Grandin" was one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Never been a fan of Claire Danes and was surprised she won an Emmy this past year. That was until I watched Temple Grandin. She was exceptional as was Julia Ormand who won an Emmy as well.

This movie would have been a big Oscar contender had it been released in theaters first. A must see if you have an autistic kid as well.

Only finished Season 1 and to the kidney stones in season 2 for for some reason. I went through them so fast I don't remember much about his role. Really need to restart and finish this series some time.

Ode to a Gleet :X Hawkes role as Sol Starr is a pretty significant one.btw I just saw that Garret Dilahunt who played the sheriff in Winter's Bone and Francis Wolcott (the psycho who worked for Major Dad and killed hookers) in Deadwood also played the role of Jack McCall (the guy who kills Wild Bill) also in Deadwood. Thought that was kind of weird.
