Last new film@ Paranormal activity 2: 4/10. Boring until the end, a bit jumpy.

It's supposed to be worst than the first one which I rate a 3/10

[haunted.lunchbox]

Just saw Megamind. It was really good, but Despicable Me was better. I am so happy with all the Villain friendly movies coming out.

[Mattrick]

Quite a twisted movie. Michael Pitt especially is haunting. A completely stoic person who has no regard for human emotion. He even seems to not be receiving emotional gratification from his and Brady Corbet's actions against Naomi Watts, Tom Roth and their son. The family they torment is in emotional tatters throughout the movie in direct contrast to their ease of joy upon driving to their cabin. The two young men however don't even seemed to notice the anguish. To them, it's funny games.

8/10

Gosford Park - I'm sure what it was but I just couldn't get into this movie. It was good but I was expecting something other than what it was. 7/10

I really liked Funny Games. I've had some pretty great discussions about that film. There are just tons of people who totally hate it. I can understand why though. I thought Michael Pitt was amazing in that film.

After watching his performance a few years back, I had a feeling he was going to go on and become a big time actor. Then Boardwalk Empire came along and now I'm positive he will become a big time actor.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

4 out of 10 stars. Overall a pretty stupid movie. If I'd seen it in the theater I would have either fallen asleep or walked out before it was over.

[Mattrick]

What a fantastic movie. So much haunting imagary. It's said to be strictly environmental but I believe it's quite societal and psychological as well. Instead of seeing nature = beautiful, man = ugly, I witness a different story. About the earth giving birth to man and giving us what we needed for food, shelter and other necessities of life. We then see a rocket being launched, mankinds dream of outerspace. Not much different than a child outgrowing his need for his parents and rising above their hold. We see how nature flows and how cities flow, how we distance ourselves from being a part of nature but in the end we create similar flows.

We see nature, sedimentary rocks. The layers and how long it took to create these rocks. We see the colorado river which made the grand canyon, we ask ourselves how long it took for nature to do that. How long did it take to create this twisted canyon? We then see the hoover dam, street views of New York skyscrappers and we wonder how quick we created these things that both mimic and destroy what nature creates. We how powerful mankind as a collective is; the power to create fast, destroy fast, reach outer space but on a single level we're far weaker. We're homeless people looking through change, people living in poverty stricken lands, working on assembly lines or sick and dying. We go through our day to day lives oblivious to the planet itself; reading our newpapers, playing our video games or watching our televisions. Humankind all grown up is self-absorbed and disregarding of the parent who once gave us life and the tools for life. We've forgotten about our mother earth and instead only focused on ourselves. We take for war, for growth, for novelty and for family. But as much as we thnk of ourselves as the rulers of the planet nothing we make will last forever. The Grand Canyon, the Rocky Moutains, the ocean, the sky...they will outlive and outlast anything we create.

In the end I felt this was a movie about being out of balance with nature. How by putting ourselves above nature we've hurt the relationship we had with it.

I felt the same way when I saw it way back when 7 is a bit generous I think

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

4 out of 10 stars. Overall a pretty stupid movie. If I'd seen it in the theater I would have either fallen asleep or walked out before it was over.

I dont go to the theater because first off its just too expensive and 2 paying for movies has gone the way of paying for cds. Things I just wont do

[Still Servant]

I'm not really sure I buy the whole CD analogy. With the way technology is now, purchasing a CD is less and less necessary. Technology just passed the medium by. Watching a film on a big screen is still relevant. Yes, we are much more equipped to get a cinematic experience at home than we were 20 years ago with HDTV's, Blu-ray players and surround sound, but there still is nothing like watching a movie on the big screen.

Also, I just saw a movie the other day for $5. Hardly expensive. You don't have to spend money on snacks and soda. That's really where they get you.

[Mattrick]

I see it like this;

Movies take lots of money. Some movies have hundreds of millions of dollars invested in it. By downloading it or getting bootleg copies, you prevent the studios from making money. If a quality movie takes a loss due to downloading, studios likely won't invest in another similar movie. This is why family movies, comic book movies and action movies get greenlighted due to sales because people will see those for thrills or family entertainment.

To make a CD, not nearly as much is invested. Not to mention bands/artists have DVD sales, merchandise sales, concert sales...unless it's a merchandising beast like Star Wars, Harry Potter or Twilight, movies generally only have sales to fall back on. You don't see The Road merchandise or anything.

If people pay to see average/shitty movies due to big screen effects, actually good movies will never get wide releases (hello Buried!)

What a good film.

I lent my mind to Cold Mountain yesterday, and it was pretty bitchin'.
Seeing Jack White's face floating around was an instant plus point, and Rene Zellweger's character was a source of constant smiles.
8/10.

Deathly Hallows 4/10

Gets a four for the cinematography which was awesome and reminiscent of PoA for it's dark, fairytale quality. Otherwise I was disappointed and disinterested. I appreciate screenplays can't match a book word for word, but so much important material was sacrificed for special effects. I really don't think it would make sense if you hadn't read the books.

[haunted.lunchbox]

Just saw Zombieland for the first time. I didn't like the younger sister, but the movie was really good.

Michael Pitt plays a great psychopath. I've really been enjoying him on Boardwalk Empire.

[Mattrick]

A pretty good movie. The friend I made watch it doesn't have a great taste in movies. He watches a movie like this and he doesn't get it. He said it was like Last House on the Left, except shitty lol.

I thought it was a very good and powerful movie. I always liked William Mapother and thought he was great in it. Some terrific acting and I enjoyed the directing style. My favourite scene was when Tom Wilkinson was talking with his lawyer on the street, brilliantly directed.

9/10

[Mattrick]

Excellent movie. Good performances all around. Didn't know that iconic shot of the cowboy on a nuke came from this movie. A good view on how weapons of mass destruction can literally destroy everything, all spawned from the crazy mind of one man with too much power. Line of the movie: "You can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

Question,

Spoiler:

The Russian ambassador toyed with something at the end, are we to believe that he detonated some kind of device, killing all in the war room?

9/10

[Mattrick]

The more I see of Kubrick's work, the more I love his work. I was pretty moved by this movie, especially the ending. How political image is more important than the lives of single men. I haven't seen Kirk Douglas in much be he was fantastic in this. Adolphe Menjou and George Macready also really impressed me.

9/10

[Mattrick]

Fantastic fucking movie. Coppola is really good with his shots. How empty and desolate he managed to make everything look, reflecting Harry's own life. I found this character so intriguing. The way his self isolation and paranoia stem from his guilt of what his work has done to others lives. Hackman was just great. Harrison Ford definitely still had screen presence before he made it big.

[fernandito]

I really need to watch The Conversation, one of the few Coppola films I haven't seen yet.

[pathoftheturtle]

I've got to hand it to you, Mattrick: you've really gotten into the spirit of this thread. Thanks for all of these great reviews.

[Still Servant]

I've been meaning to see The Conversation for years, but I always end up watching something else. It's next on my Netflix Queue.

The Color of Money 9/10

I just love Paul Newman. While it's not as good as The Hustler, it's still a very solid film. Tom Cruise proved at a young age that he was an acting force of nature. I think Eddie Felson is a great film character and it was great to see him develop over all these years.

Alice in Wonderland 6/10

Not a bad film, I was just expecting it to be a little more vibrant and full of life. I was kind of disappointed to see Wonderland in a post apocalyptic state. Still some cool CGI stuff and the tale really is a classic.
