The Shining. I guess the "controversial" Stephen King thread got me in the mood ;)

Anyway, before *I* bore you to tears, I'll shut up. :D

SOME SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE CLOSER BELOW!!!!



Actually I understand exactly why he was so upset with her. He was a completely despicable character and could at times be cruel, but really he seemed to be the most honest of the four central characters. He admitted to his infidelity almost right away, she didn't. And the circumstances were a little different. I don't want to add too many spoilers, so I won't say more than that. Let's just say he went into their marriage blind. She didn't. But all of the characters were creeps. Jude Law's character seemed to be touted as this grand romantic and he was every bit as slimy as the doctor in his own way, for all his obsession with the "truth" he sure as hell didn't seem to live it.

Not a pleasant experience, overall. I will never watch it again, but admittedly there was some fine acting and it was brutally honest in a lot of ways.

three enjoyable short films, somewhat controversial or should I say ethical content in 'Dumplings'. Watch it to see what you think.

The other two got progressivly stonger visually, but of the three, I prefered Chan-Wook's 'Cut', the guy has a way with getting the best out of actors, even though I'm relying on subs throughout the film, you can sence they've put effort into their roles, I've not seen in other modern same genre asian titles.

i've seen that around - i think there is a dumplings 2 as well

urgeok 06-16-2005 07:07 AM

i watched Deep Star 6

better movie than it gets credit for .. because of the likeable cast and a couple of good gore bits.

it does have one of my 'stupid shit' hot buttons though .. where a giant homocidal crustacean monster is able to hide and swim silently in 3 feet of water ...

a giant maniacle creature with no fear - apparently cooperated with the director - in that it would obligingly sneak around to build up suspense..

This is one of my favorite movies. I thought Miguel Ferrer (or however you spell his name) was delightfully weasely!

"Brother Of Darkness"
Pretty good CAT III shocker.

actually he did an excellent role - it was more complex than you'd normally get - he wasn't a bad guy - just a bit of a complainer - and everything started going wrong for gim - often not his fault ..
he ended up being misunderstood .. i felt for the guy ..

Total Recall SE R2

ChEEbA 06-16-2005 11:14 AM

Gotta love Total Recall...IMO, Arnies best...when I first saw it, man, I knew it was gonna be one of my alltime favourites.

I just watched Constantine for the first time.
I'm unfamiliar with the comic Hellblazer upon which it was based...so, I can't really give a comparison.
It was "interesting"...very VERY nice effects, the action wasn't anything special for the better part, but it was ok I suppose.
I personally found the plot a little unneccessarily convoluted, and in parts, it felt very long, drawn out, and boring.
Oh, and the dialogue, quite frankly, sucked.
I AM glad I saw this film to satisfy my personal curiosity - I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I'm pretty much mutual on this one, but seeing it again isn't something I'll be striving to do anytime soon.

42ndStreetFreak 06-16-2005 11:18 AM

Anyone think that the whole of the plot WAS just part of the 'program' and that he was always plugged into the machine?
On further viewings there are lots of indicators that point to it.

ChEEbA 06-16-2005 11:24 AM

Well yeah...someone even mentioned during the film, and you also see it clearly by the ending, that he DOES get his "order" as per specification...

Tool Box Murders, Great movie 4/5.

Batman Begins- 9/10

IDrinkYourBlood 06-16-2005 10:08 PM

Posting this a little early. But im heading off to watch Maniac.

42ndStreetFreak 06-17-2005 02:01 AM

"Dead Birds". Overly slow, but has some good gore, some excellent visuals and FX and a nice creepy atmosphere.
Some of the dialogue is dreadfully muted though (the dialogue scene in bed was so bad i had to flick on the subtitles!) Something i see mentioned by others on the IMDB.
And the twist was harder to grasp details wise once you really started to think about it.
Good stuff though in general.

Elvis_Christ 06-17-2005 03:44 AM

Slumber Party Massacre..... really liked the dispatching of the killer in this one. Very cool 80s slasher.

the Blair Witch Project gets a perfect 10, Jason Lives gets an 8 and the Fog gets a F'n 5

I retract my previous statement from the Batman thread, this is in fact the most I've ever had to stress this...

fuckin weird...I was just about to say that.

Except I thought it was amazingly good. Made me laugh with all the little references to the classics.
