Finished Part II of "My movie snobness would never have had me watching this film, but it keeps getting raved about in the movie thread, so I'll give it a shot" last night with Kick ###. After the crapfest that was Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, I was only going to give this one 30 minutes before shutting it off. Holy crap, this is like comparing the New York Yankees and your local little league team. Kick ### was funny, entertaining, and had several outstanding visual sequences. SPVTW has already been skewered enough by me, so I don't need to revisit. Anyway, if you ever have to come down to a choice between these two movies, it's Kick ###, and it's not even close. (4/5)

When my wife came home with this a few weeks ago, I was unhappy with her choice, and expected dreck. It turned out to be one of my favorite movies for 2010. Probably because it was so surprisingly good.

A Prophet

Awesome foreign flick. Midnight Express meets Godfather. Holds up against other prison film heavyweights.

4.5/5

Awesome movie. Sucks you in from start to finish, not a single bad scene. Loved it.

 

[Nate]

Has anyone seen "Machete"? If so, what did you think?

Hilariously awful, awesomely terrible.Winner of "Best on-screen use of intestine" award.Also winner of "Least intimidating character played by Steven Seagal" award. And that includes "Lawman".

 

[Nate]

"The Town" is the best movie I've seen this year. Better than "The Social Network", but I haven't seen the latest wave of Oscar grabs.

Paradise Hills

Good? Bad? Meh?

Natural Born Killers (Director's Cut)

Hated it. A couple of the parodies were pretty funny, the satirical critique of the media was pretty accurate, and the vast amount of symbolism was interesting, but those are about the only redeeming qualities of this movie filled with non-redeeming qualities. I thought the story was horrible, some scenes were idiotic in how things transpired, the frenzied pace of cuts was too much at times, and in general the movie was too over the top for my tastes. I've never seen a movie that glorified violence/murder as much as this one, not surprised in the least to discover that there have been 10+ real life copycat murders that have taken place in large part due to this film.

ETA: Also really enjoyed Tommy Lee Jones' performance as the Warden.

That's total bull####. No one commits murder because of a movie.

The movie did not turn them into homicidal sociopaths. Could very well be true that homicidal sociopaths enjoy this movie more than, say, Sound of Music.

[Go deep]

The Fighter is not only the best movie of 2010, it is the best movie i have seen in years. It would be a real shame if it didnt win all sorts of awards, especially Bale getting best supporting actor.

Side note, is it me, or did anyone else have the urge to watch the HBO special talked about in the movie?

So do you think all of those people who killed after seeing the movie were eventually going to murder someone in their life whether they saw the film or not? I think that is the case for some of them, but not all.

Would you be afraid to watch NBK again for fear that you might go on a murderous rampage?

Absolutely not. However, if a sociopath who doesn't enjoy life sees that film, I wouldn't be shocked if it triggers homicidal thoughts in their brain which may or may not lead to homicidal actions.

Blaming murders on movies, TV, and video games is a facile argument. There is a special confluence of events that make a murder. What, you think there are normal, healthy people that are triggered by a movie? No chance.

Is the point of the movie not a satirical critique of the media's portrayal of violence as I mentioned in my original post on the movie? If it isn't, than you are correct.

No, that's the point. Maybe I misunderstood where you agitation is coming from. If you could figure that out, one would think you could appreciate that it's a very good film. Apparently not.I've seen it and listened to Marilyn Manson. Maybe I should be locked up, since it's obviously only a matter of time before I kill someone. Or maybe we should only allow G rated movies to be shown to the public. That'll cure em.

Glorified gore. Man, what a great homage to 70's slasher flicks. This is not a film. It is a flick. It is not a movie. It is a flick. A friggin awesome flick. Well played gentlemen. Well played.

there's a difference between blaming a murder on someone watching a movie and saying that someone who's already very disturbed and killed after watching this movie when they might not have if they hadn't watched it.ETA: put it this way, if you ask me if there are people who were killed, who wouldn't have been killed if this movie had never been made, i'd say absolutely yes.

I already stated all of this in my original post. I think you've misunderstood what my opinion of the film is. I never said anything about being agitated by the film, I just pointed out things I disliked about it. As for the bolded, if you read my back and forth with jdoggy you would see that I said that I never said anything that would suggest that I think Natural Born Killers should be banned from the public.

Absolutely not. No. People don't have some trigger that goes off that ends up in murder because they saw a movie.

So how do you explain the multiple murders that occurred shortly after some deranged people watched the movie? I think it can most definitely be a trigger for people who are in some way mentally ill to begin with.

So I guess we can conclude this argument in that you believe that ALL the murderers would have eventually killed someone in their lifetime whether they saw the movie or not, whereas I do not believe that this is the case, and that some of the murderers would not have killed anyone in their lifetime if they had not seen the movie.

So you are saying that NBK made killing look so cool that they couldn't fight their primal disturbed urges anymore and that had they never watched violent movies they would have been productive members of society?

 

[Chaka]

I have no problem beliveing a movie could trigger people with a natural inclination towards violence to commit murder.

A lot of people are highly suggestible idiots, who might see a film as an overly romanticized version of what they want their reality to be.

It wouldn't be the first time a movie was used as a playbook for real life.

No. I'm saying NBK glorifies murder to an extent that I don't doubt that it has led previously deranged people to give in to a homicidal urge that they may have had before. Although there are many other violent movies out there, they do not romanticize, celebrate murderers to the extent that NBK does, at least from any movie I have previously seen; and I watch my fair share of crime/action films.

Do I think someone could be insane enough to commit murder because of a movie? No. If you commit murder, you are nuts or highly motivated to end a life. Is there any study or evidence that proves a murder happened because of a movie? Not that I'm aware of.

Saw The Devil and Daniel Johnston. It's an interesting documentary about an interesting person (especially when he was younger imo) named Daniel Johnston that deals with his music career and his accompanying craziness. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes documentaries and music (particularly folk music).

Very good movie, although I had seen enough after about an hour.

I kind of agree with both of you. Loved this movie, but can see why he would grate on you quickly.

I watched Seven Samurai for the first time last night. Wow. Loved it, and loved reading about it even more.

Great film. An all time classic to be sure.I also really like the American version The Magnificent Seven, which has an incredible cast and is a really fun movie. It's highly worth watching.

The cinematography, especially in the action sequences, is what stood out to me most. There were just tons of iconic images: Kambei drawing back his bow in the rain; Kikuchiyo and Kyuzo charging; Kyuzo walking out of the fog with the musket; Kambei, Katsushiro, and Shiciroji standing beneath the graves of the other 4. The depth of field used in a lot of shots was also great, as were a lot of the long takes (Kikuchiyo spying on the bandits, for example).

I'll have to check out The Magnificent Seven.

Agree; I think it's the most beautifully framed movie I've ever seen (and in my all-time top 20 overall).

[facook]

Cyrus:

This movie really did have potential. Jonah Hill played the creepy kid part perfectly. However, it just felt like the writers were holding back. There was a great dynamic between Hill and Reily, but they didn't really spend any time with them ####### with each other - it was seemingly the last couple minutes of the movie. Was OK, but could've been great if they let loose a bit more. 6/10.

Grown Ups:

This coming from a person who laughs at most of Sandler's movies - I think I felt myself losing IQ points watching this. Basically just 100mins of one liners and fart jokes. I'll admit that I laughed a couple times, but it doesn't make up for the rest of the 98mins. 3/10.

I'm no film snob, and in fact I have to wade through hip-deep film snobbery in the majority of this thread but I think I died a little bit when I saw Grown Ups won "People's Choice" for best comedy movie.

Watched Inception last night. I thought it was good, kept me entertained the whole time. Much more straight forward than I expected, easier to follow. Obviously there can be different ways to interpret certain aspects but I don't find myself caring to do it. Just kinda take it at face value. I had hoped for more and am slightly disappointed. I don't imagine ever watching it again. 3/5

 

[Yankee23Fan]

A lot of not being able to sleep this weekend gave me the opportunity to catch a few movies:

Karate Kid Part II

I'm going to be honest - I've always liked this movie. I don't know why. The acting is terrible. Really, really terrible. To the point that it's become a comedy for me until the final battle scene. And that scene is why I continue to like the movie. It's one of the better ending fight scenes in a movie to me.

Clash of the Titans

Whoever decided that remaking one of the greatest movies ever made from my childhood needs to be picked up in a limo, driven to a fine restaurant, allowed to choose from the menu and have the chef personally attend to him/her, given top shelf liquor to enjoy throughout the meal, given tickets to the greatest sports event going on in that city that night, best seats, maybe even a high priced call girl or guy to entertian them after the game.... and then taken outside and gutted like a fish in front of the world as a sacrifice to those in Hollywood that would do it again. Death is too easy on the producers and directors of this. It doesn't even deserve a ranking. All they did was use better special effects and get the MAtthew Broderick Godzilla out of storage and gives it tenticles and drop it in water. I want my two hours back. And a sacrifice.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Actually watched it after CotT so it wsa a "nice" little double feature of the gods. The makers of this one don't deserve death, they just need to be put in witness protection and given new jobs so that they don't make any more movies. The young chick was cute.

No Country for Old Men

I tried to watch it again. It just did nothing for me. I admit now that on a second viewing the bad guy is really really good, but..... meh. Maybe if I read the book? I admit I could be wrong about this oen it just really did nothing for me. Sorry.

Hellboy II

Meh. The first one was actually enjoyable. This one was, well, meh.

I think I'm just getting to the point where movies just don't do it for me anymore.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Good but not great. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for a comedy but I didn't find myself laughing at much other than Gay Perry. Kilmer was great. Everyone else, not so much. Might give it another try in a year or two.

State and Main - Found this listed under comedy. Perhaps it should be moved to the 'slow moving not that funny category'.
