The Fighter.

I think the Academy was on crack when they decided to give Melissa Leo an Oscar for such average acting. Christian Bale on the other hand was brilliant. He totally overclassed Wahlberg.

totally agreed, and the movie, in general , is overrated , and to set the record straight, I love boxing

Shooter (Mark Wahlberg) I watched this when it was first released, but it was on TV last night and worth a second watch. The Fighter, never been sooooo bored with a film for a long time - way too hyped up
post #430 of 4004
^ I agree Craig. SHOOTER is definitely much more interesting than THE FIGHTER.

Anyhows, just finish watching this one from (wow) 11 years ago.... Still can't believe it is 2011, I'm aware of time passing, it just never feels that long...

post #431 of 4004
I've seen so many movies lately. The Fighter, The Town, Black Swan, Social Network, The King's Speech, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Tron.

My favorites have easily been Social Network and Tron; also enjoyed Black Swan.

The Big Lebowski...such a classic.

grizzly eyes (1984)

Pretty good pycho-thrille. Quite intense and disturbing, without excessive cheesy gore.

Us both.


Tonight i saw "The Way". It is one of those shows that (cliche as it sounds) makes one self-reflect, young or old. Simple, inspiring, and heart-warming story revolving around pilgrimage - specifically the Camino. I really love how the relationships between the main characters build up, and I really like the choice of characters. It's very believable. Martin Sheen and son team.

"You don't choose your life (Dad). You live one." - I really like this quote...

Not as bad as some of the reviews made it out to be.

Amadeus



F. Murray Abraham is off the hook in this film. I only knew him as the guy that gets thrown out of the helicopter in Scarface. I didn't know he had so much immense talent.

Brest Fortress. First time watching a Russian film. Pretty impressive war movie, I must say. Needed subtitles of course!

post #443 of 4004
Gran Torino



Best movie I've seen in a long time. Some of the acting done by the Hmong cast is quite poor, but I think it works in this case. Adds a level of rawness or authenticity to the film.

this afternoon :

Sweet and Lowdown

Penn, as always, in a brilliant performance.

Really? Dossier K. is distributed in Singapore? It's a Belgian movie where they speak Flemish

Marriage a trois (2010)
post #451 of 4004
SUCKER PUNCH and I hate to say very much about it it's so unique and I can't imagine it's going to be terribly popular but it's an amazing achievement I'll just indicate one high point to watch for: there is a scene with a dragon that's worth more alone than what maybe a handful of typical movies these days might come across with.

We can get it on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dossier-K-NEW-Cu...ht_1835wt_1141
. We do have a few specialized import shops here that carry or (in most cases) can source for the less common titles but they cost more. Most malls here only carry the popular and mainstream English-speaking ones and some EU-speaking ones. Porn is the only one you will not be able to find being sold here, but for everything else,it shouldn't be too hard to find or get sourced for. I saw the Memory of a Killer (the alzheimer's case) and was recommended Dossier k. Enjoyed them both! I only understand the English subs of course.



Autoreiji/Outrage

This one should be more well-known internationally. If mobster/gangster (in this case Yakuza) movies are your thing... This one's great entertainment value. I actually prefer these sort of Japanese movies as compared to their quirky, fantasy-like, or art-house sort.


(You could can search for a trailer with subtitles, I didn't find one, i didn't search too hard though)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows watched last night. This is easily the most boring film I have watched to date this year
post #460 of 4004
POWDER BLUE

love this film
post #461 of 4004
The Royal Tenenbaums

One of my all-time favorite movies. Owen Wilson, is adorable in it too.
post #462 of 4004


Average, but worth a watch
post #463 of 4004
Burlesque, was disappoined, I expected better, to me it was mainly Christina singing, she's great, but I wanted to see more of
Cher and her side kick, I can't remember his name, he was in the devil wears prada.

The Duchess of Duke Street BBC loved it.
post #464 of 4004
Tangled

Very well done, I liked it a lot.
post #465 of 4004
Manhunt (2008)
post #466 of 4004
I really like the Coen Brothers. They got this moodiness to the ones I've seen. Would it be noir, slightly modernized noir? Not sure, I'm bad with genres. I wasn't huge on the Big Lebowski (I remember I got it online, it wouldn't have made it to screen here for obvious reasons.)that LiveJazz had mentioned couple of days ago, but Fargo and No Country For Old Men, I really really enjoyed to watch again.

Decided on this one to watch since I haven't.

The Man Who Wasn't there

Mystic River-great movie
Snakes on a Plane-Samuel Jackson kickin' snake butt what can I say

post #470 of 4004
Source Code.

I liked it - but then it does bring together ideas from three of my all-time favourite movies/shows - Groundhog Day, Robocop and Quantum Leap!

Unstoppable

It was technically very good, in terms of photography, and making a decently engrossing movie from a very, very simple premise: train on the loose, people in danger, chase train down, heroes stop train, the end. Not something to see more than once, but decent.

Black Swan

Aronofsky rules!
post #476 of 4004
