Grindhouse
As I've previously stated, this movie was a lot of fun. Violent, disgusting (in the case of "Planet Terror"), and hilarious at the same time. I can only wonder how they got away with an R-Rating, because Planet Terror in particular was some NC-17 stuff. I'm glad they're actually making a movie out of the Machete trailor, because that one actually looked worth watching. Did I prefer "Planet Terror" or "Death Proof?" It's a close call. I'll have to watch it again to decide.

Also, Rose McGowan is ****ing sexy as hell.

Shane
I'll be completely honest: I far prefer the revisionist westerns to the classical ones. While this film was entertaining, to say the least, it hasn't aged very well, and can be hard to connect with in the post-Leone era.

M and Paths of Glory.

That's easy. It's been proven that the MPAA doesn't care about violence. It's sex that they're worried about.

For the record the film is 18A where I live (though that just means people under 18 have to be accompanied by an adult -- i.e. I've seen kids at 18A screenings)

hferg · 04-16-2007, 10:58 AM

eh, i say "screw the MPAA" but that's just me...

oh, and Tombstone may be one of the best westerns of the 90s..... or was it the late 80s?

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-16-2007, 11:27 AM

^^So that's basically like R here?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Did you see the attempted rape scene? The first doctor's office scene?

Technically yes. However, most R movies (especially if they're only rating such for language) will get off with a 14A here. Only a small handfull of the movies I see are 18A.

The Third Man.

Jackie Brown
I can now say that I've seen all of Quentin's major films. And I've enjoyed all of them, too.

Koga · 04-18-2007, 07:45 AM

I think Jackie Brown is often underrated; sure it's not as greats as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill, but it's still a very good movie. I think True Romance is another one of Tarantino's greatest: even though he only wrote (and not directed) it, it's still very much a Tarantino flick.

The last movies I've watched are the Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Modern Times.

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-18-2007, 08:14 AM

Movie: An American Tail
Show: The Colbert Report

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Zaraku, NietAngel, and I are watching Vandread (Anime) from the beginning, moving to Wild Arms(Low Budget Anime), and then Finishing with Warrior of the Wastland (C film).

Zaraku · 04-18-2007, 09:51 AM

Ok I guess thats what we are doing.

Koga · 04-18-2007, 04:28 PM

Today I watched Rashomon and Metropolis.

Bomby · 04-18-2007, 10:27 PM

Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control
Well done documentary. I probably would've enjoyed it more had I some green tea beforehand...

Executioners from Shaolin
Overall great martial arts flick, but it ended way too abruptly. I would've liked to have seen the final fight fleshed out more.

Koga · 04-20-2007, 11:41 AM

Pink Floyd The Wall

Bomby · 04-20-2007, 11:59 PM

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
While Oldboy seems to be the most popular of Park Chan-Wook's Vengeance trilogy, in my opinion, this is a superior film (I have yet to see the first film, but I've heard it's nowhere near as good as the latter two). The narrative structure is one of the most creative and original of any film I've ever seen, period. Also, I find the story to be more emotionally involving.

Edit:

The Untouchables
Great overall, but too short. Either that or I'm just getting used to 2 1/2 - 3 hour films.

Carrie
Better than I expected it to be, especially after the opening sequence.

Bomby · 04-24-2007, 05:39 PM

Stranger than Paradise
It's Jarmusch. Self-explanatory. Either you love him or you think he's boring.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 04-24-2007, 07:33 PM

Movie: The Royal Tenenbaums (excellent movie, one of my new favorites)
TV: last night's 24

Bomby · 04-24-2007, 10:26 PM

^ I really need to see that movie again. When I first saw it, I absolutely hated it, but I'd probably appreciate it more now.
