oh yea
I watched Collapse a few days ago and just loved it
while it's seemingly overly pessimistic and utterly grim, you simply cannot directly dismiss any of the points it raises
all are valid points to be taken seriously and hard work put on
more than if it had any actual credibility to it, i loved that it was so relentless.. and we never see that in western documentaries
they're always so sugar coated
here's a trailer;
As opposed to those north korean documentaries, that are raw and straight to the point about Kim Jong-Il being god! D:
Totally unexpected, I saw the original some 10 years ago, and I thought to give this one a shot just to see how hollywood has ruined it, and to my surprise it was able to keep the core essence of the movie and despite this story is already widely known it's still able to kept me on the edge of my seat.
In my opinion this is as good or even better than the original.
A recommended watch.
Hey I told you 3-4 Months ago that it was a very nice movie, how can this come unexpected
Did you?
I must of missed that post..
But damn, I almost felt something forming in my lacrimal sac.

Hachiko 8/10 ... damn the tears kept running for 20 minutes
Zombieland - 9/10
That's a zombie flick to my taste. Had it's zombie smashing, had enough humor to not be taken serious.
There's really nothing to bitch about.
it's only a 9 since there has always to be some room for improvement
Haven't seen Dead Set yet will see when I'll come around to it.
Zombieland cured my itch for zombie flicks right now fo sho.
Let's see what comes up next.
Still got Black Snake Moan, Green Lantern First Flight, Justice League Crisis on Earth and Gran Torino lying around
you really didnt find those 2 chicks to be utterly annoying, and didnt find the movie slowed to a crawl whenever they showed up? like i said earlier, id totally call it a 9 IF it'd only just been woody and the scrawny kid crackin jokes and kidding zombies, but those 2 chicks totally killed the film.
green lantern was really good... and not just for an animated kids film.
oh yea

Holy crap, this guy is amazingly smart and much of what he says rings true. In fact, I couldn't really find a single faulty argument in anything he said. What's scary is that what he's saying is like a map to our current reality.

I was very disappointed in that movie. Started off very strong and went down hill fast for me. And i agree with you about the girls.
That's about when I started yawning.
Sure it had some moments here and there (Bill Murray scene mostly), but not up to par with how it started.

rewatched ninja asian... brrip this time, instead of the shitty screener
i think i gave it a 6.. not gonna re-rate it, i think 6 is reasonable enough... i swear, i STILL say the finale, especially when he goes magic-shadow-man bullshit, was just fucking dumb... one of the shittiest most lamest scenes ive seen in a movie.
also, this ninja clan... worst fucking ninjas EVER... they let like 3 or 4 fucking hummers AND a fucking helecopter 'sneak' up on them? HAHAHA fucking clueless fuckers
remember speed racer? i fucking loved that movie (yep, so fuck ya's), and now i know where they outsourced their ninjas from hahahah

thats true you know. newton didnt discover gravity. the apple told him about it, and then he killed it. the core was never found.
well i loved it, it was a fun flick, that had a great balance of action and 'talky shit', good cast, and above all, it didnt drop the ball when it came to the finale. unlike ninja asian.
i think what i loved the most, is that visually it did something fantastic, unlike most effects movies. yeah... i liked it. it was batshit crazy fun. i wouldnt rate it as one of my fav films ever, but im happy to say i enjoyed it and wish theyd made a sequel.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - 4/10?
Horrible, just some decent CGI, horrible script and overall a painful experience. Not that I didn't know it before hand...

Capitalism: A love story - ?
As someone who knows very little about the economic status of the US or the political system they have, this was still an enjoyable movie. Obviously I took everything with a lot of salt since it's Michael Moore, but some of the stuff was absolutely disgusting and completely insane... Can't say if it's a good documentary since I'm not knowledgeable in the subject but it was entertaining.
For a good documentary about the state of things, I would recommend Collapse.
But for know I strongly recommend you to watch Hachiko the 2009 remake.
Imo it surpasses the quality of the Japanese version.
Since it seems you have seen some really bad movies in the last few days, I advise to watch this one.
You won't be disappointed!
Already seen Collapse and it was good, I've also seen both the original Hachi ko and the new one. ^^ And yes, they are great, I still prefer the original but both are indeed amazing, makes me cry every time, never cried as much to a movie as I did when I watched the original, was ridiculous.
Thanks for the tips though.
Have you watched Memories of Matsuko - kiraware matsuko no issho?
One of the best tearjerkers in movie history

tooth fairy - ima split it right down the middle and give it a 5/10
some bits were so god damn painful to watch, but some bits, honestly, were fucking hilarious (especially billy crystal)... so yeah, it had its moments, but nah, id never want to watch it again.
gonna byte the bullet and watch Tagekukguakgak or whatever its called. I usually CBA with subtitled films but I loved Pans Lab. I guess this one is worth it
AVATAR 3D. Hard to give a rating to. The Real3D system screwed w/ my eyes, sometimes it was great, other times it was a bit fuzzy and gave me a headache.
For those who saw it in 3D, where did you sit? Towards the back of the theatre in the middle? We sat about halfway from the screen and the back, but not dead-center. I wonder if this has any bearing on my experience.
I'd like to see it in 2D next, but will wait for the Blu Ray, whenever that is.
No way was this as good as you all made out.. wtf. The ending was so damn STUPID!
Spoiler:
As fucking if he wouldnt remember his brother, fucking BS, stupid stupid shit. Maybe for a few seconds of confusion, but he was in his face, punching him, shouting at him for about 10 mins before this guy realized? I dont buy that shit.
the movie was good up until that point, what a fucking fail. If it had a good ending id say 8/10 easily maybe even 9...
jeez, he thought his brother was dead, and his country had killed him. it was blind hatred, he didnt even want to consider the possibility that it was his brother. guy was seriously messed up
just out of curiosity, how did you rate saving private ryan?
Holy crap, I thought I'd seen the worst movies ever made when I went through my horror/zombie phase years ago and watched some atrocious movies by Bruno Mattei etc..
But this, a serbian zombie flick (!) with Ken Foree being the ONLY trained actor in the whole production (serbs speaking very broken English) made me cringe for the 20 minutes I managed to hold on before I stopped watching. I felt so embarrassed for Ken Foree for having good intentions supporting some amateur movie makers in Serbia and they managed to make the worst zombie movie ever...

its not bad, probably about 8/10 for SPR. Not really that much of a fan of these war glory stories..
how come you could swallow all the stupid bullshit in spr but then rate brotherhood o war lower? for whatever sillyness you saw in the finale, surely it wasnt as retarded as spr. i think i remember riddick standing out in the open like a lemon until some sniper put him out of our misery, not to mention the fact that i dunno how many people DIED trying to save ONE guy who didnt even want to leave, has to be one of the most irritating storylines ever :/
...unless you're just tacking on an extra 5 points because it wasnt subtitled...
