Death Sentence 8/10


One of Kevin Bacon's best movies he's put out in along time.

All the Real Girls

I fell in love with this movie.

CrimsonFiend138 01-15-2008 07:14 AM

I watched Suspiria for the first time the other night, really enjoyed it. Being older it didn't creep me out too much but the end gave me chills.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Magical still but getting alot darker,very cool.

The Brave One w/Jodi Foster

I liked this much better than "Death Sentence"...it was more believable.

There's one line in the movie that's just perfect and hilarious because it encapsulates perfectly what a person feels when they get their heart broken. "If anybody smiles at me ever again, I'm going to freak out." :) It's a great, honest film.

Oh, yeah, definately. I felt like, for the first time in a long time, I was watching something truthful.
Actually, hellfire, I recommend a movie I just watched for the first time:

Pieces of April (2003)

Like 'Real Girls', this movie just feels so goddamned truthful. It never asks us to believe anything unbelievable, but instead reveals its story in a graceful, life-like way. This is some of the best independent filmmaking I've seen in awhile.

Have it and love it too. :) . And what a coincidence, Patricia Clarkson is in it as well. And she just steals every scene. She actually makes it so hard for us to hate her, and not because of her illness, but because she's just so funny, even when she's being hurtful with the people she loves. Again, it's a movie you completely identify with, the characters are real and flawed. Another great movie that showed that Katie Holmes can actually act. Or could, rather.

Amen to that. I was very impressed by the way she handled that role.

Guess what? This was fantastic. One of the bigger surprises of the year.

Red Dragon (2002)

I don't know. It was pretty good...but Harris' Lecter series never got the treatment they deserved...even with Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon is my favorite novel of the bunch, but the detail got dulled down during the transfer from print to film, and the characters just aren't as rich.

Good, not great.

joshaube 01-15-2008 10:45 PM

Having a triple movie night tomorrow. Juno, Gone Baby Gone and No Country For Old Men. Then I'm going to see Juno again on Friday. Fuck, I'm going to be poor.

No Country For Old Men and Gone Baby Gone are easily two of the best this year. That's gonna be a good night.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007)

Burton's newest film actually exceeded my epectations. The way this musical is presented, especially during the first half, is so darkly macabre it's mesmerizing. The second act isn't quite as intricately developed, but it does its job, and we do get the bloody finale we long for.

Death Race 2000 (1975)

Awesome, explosive exploitation flick with a rip-roaring cast and something to say...something that's still relevant thirty-three years later. Fast cars, nudity, violence and gore. Roger Corman's the man.

Zodiac Director's Cut
The only difference I noticed between this and the theatrical version, was that this version included a minute or so of complete darkness, with audio overlayed. News clips and popular songs, mostly. To show the transgression of time. I would have liked if there was video to go along with it, since the darkness seemed very awkward.

Roderick Usher 01-17-2008 10:25 AM

Resident Evil: Extinction

meh

Clearly the best of the bunch, but that still isn't very high praise. Why bother showing a devastated Las Vegas if you aren't going to go into any of the ruined casinos?

6/10

Mulholland Dr.
One of my favourites.
