mud you're awful

I just saw Maria Full of Grace. Damn, I loved it. As a wannabe filmmaker it's pretty much my "ideal film"; the movie I dream to make.

The Uninvited

why

Worst taste... yeah, maybe! I also liked "White Chicks" & Rob Schneider movies, even that animal one

 

I don't get why you guys are ass riding his name is MUD what the hell do you expect

MUD MUD MUD MUD MUD

*pops in epic movie

*cracks open an ice cold bud

"relax, its just a bud. Bud lights for p^ssies"

*tip of tongue puffs out between teeth as mud's eyes roll halfway into the back of his head and glaze over

Nope. The trailer where one of them put another's shit in their mouth pretending it was a nut made it seem like I wouldn't like it

Nah I think you would have loved it.   

well most (if not all) of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns never kept the original audio and completely re-recorded the dialogue in ADR sessions in English. usually they would look shit because the actors (except the lead cast) could not speak English and so it doesn't sync. This could be why it doesn't have the Italian version of it and why the dubbing is awful.

I just watched W. It was pretty stock to be honest. The acting was good, but the story seemed fairly dull. I dunno, did we need a film about Bush?

has anyone seen the Great Silence

it's so fucking good. Italians make great westerns.

I got Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, I'll be watching it tonight.

To celebrate the fact that I can once again hear (almost) normally, I decided to take in a couple of films.

Taken casts Liam Neeson as a retired Preventer (who is apparently some sort of a bad ass American spy guy with awesome fighting skills, great worldly contacts and a set of solid steel bolinhas) who takes it upon himself to locate his teenaged daughter when she gets kidnapped and nearly sold into slavery. When I saw that one of the writers was Luc Besson (Transporter, Banlieue 13 and Unleashed, among others) I got excited; I haven't seen a movie written by him that I've totally hated. In fact, he's had a hand in a couple of my favorite movies (Transporter, Banlieue 13 and Unleashed). Besson and director Pierre Morel make a great team and, despite its flaws, this movie proves to be another good action flick. The fights scenes were exciting, the gun play was decent and the visuals were really neat. The music was well-written and Liam Neeson nailed the role of distraught father Bryan.  Unfortunately, it's in the acting that the movie started to lose me. The chick that played Neeson's daughter wasn't bad, Dark Phoenix wasn't on screen long enough to make an impact and everyone else was just meh. The extras could have been cardboard cut-outs and, as long as they could kick and put up a fight, it wouldn't have mattered. Liam Neeson carried this movie and he did it so well that I would recommend catching this one in theatres.

My Bloody Valentine was the second movie of the night, and it was presented in 3D. Gory, disgusting and visually interesting. The cast was mostly made up of the usual attractive lot you find in such "horror" films, and many of them do the stupidly predictable things that characters in "horror" films do. And if you're wondering why I'm using a quote mark for the word "horror", I'll explain: I'm quoting imdb, which classifies this movie as a "horror" film. The 3D aspect of this movie was disorienting (my disorientation was not helped by the fact that I brained myself on an apple tree earlier in the day) but never once was I scared or horrified. This is one of those films that guys take their squeamish girlfriends to in order to get a cuddle and possible a grope or two. The plot wasn't any different than most stalker/killer films, although some of the locales were neat. After all, nothing screams "OMG PSYCHO SLASHER FILM" quite like a Pennsylvania coal mine. Anyway, if you want to check out something visually different, or you've got a squeamish girlfriend, this is worth seeing in theatres.

See, mamamack just had to outdo me. Plain and simple My Bloody Valentine 3-D rocked! (And yes, it was the last movie I saw, as it was with mamamack)

what was the 3d like? did it seem like things were beside you/touchable?

i just watched some horrible movie whilst visiting family. i dunnot what it was called, but it was about some lawyer who's daughter was a drug addict and he was convincing sad people that they needed a lawyer. very bad.

i think i would have rather watched my own retinas being burned with a magnifying glass.

Hey, let's turn that into a move. we'll call it "Enflamed Retinas of Inflamed Penii" lol

The 3D was amazing. I mean, there were parts where it was a little out of focus, and you could tell this was one of the first of it's kind. But it was truly an experience worth repeating (Which is why I suggested it to mamamack, and didn't turn down the invite to join her).

You HAVE to see at least one movie in 3D to appreciate movies lol I plan on seeing Ice Age 3 in 3D

what was the 3d like? did it seem like things were beside you/touchable?

The 3D apparently made people forget that they were in a movie theatre; the entire row of people behind us wouldn't shut up. It was rather irritating.

As far as touchability goes, my brain constantly told me that what I saw wasn't real, which killed the idea that I could touch the movie. I will admit that I jumped when stuff appeared to come at me, but then I laughed at the ridiculousness of it. The worst problem I had, though, was disorientation. If I wasn't staring directly at the screen then my eyes would lose focus and everything went really blurry. I found that, watching the end credits while standing, I was leaning forward towards the movement of the screen. If I turned my head, the whole screen would go out of focus. There were also some parts of the movie that were just blurry, like the entire shot was out of focus despite being perceiveably 3D. I think if 1) the people behind us weren't noisy and 2) my hearing was 100%, the surround sound effects would have drawn me further into the visual effect of the film.

Saw Boondock Saints for the first time ever. I love Irish People beating the hell outta stuff :P
Lots of colorful characters in it.
