Gravity - was good, did some really interesting stuff, 3D worked really well and never annoyed. The action had some annoyances though, but doesn't stop it from being very effective as a film. I think I'm on board for anything Cuaron makes in the future--he's done three very different major films (Children of Men and Y tu mama) and they are all excellent and compelling and fairly visionary. Plus he made the most watchable Harry Potter, which is its own challenge, heh.

Fright Night (1985) - Really cool piece of 80's, I love the feel that this sort of thing had at that time (especially compared to what it would have now). Entertaining, and has a couple effects and scenes that are amazing.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Shame (2011)

If you like Fassbender then I think you'd love this movie. The soundtrack is amazing. There is quite a bit of nudity in it as well, although it's tastefully done. I would also recommend not watching a trailer first. If you watch the trailer there's a couple of moments that seem quite impactful, and you might find yourself waiting for those moments to occur instead of allowing yourself to be immersed in this man's life. I'm having a hard time describing it because I don't want to give anything away. I watched it myself knowing nothing, and I ended up loving it. Just turn it on, and sink into it.

If you enjoy this definitely check out Richard Gere in American Gigolo. Very upsetting but good movie along similar lines.

punk rock music that does not fit the film at all. It does not have a plot. Characters aren't developed nor involving. I think I enjoyed 96% of the movie though and you will too, if you don`t mind watching kirsten dunst for 2 hours and have a fable for baroque style.

I quite enjoyed this one too when I saw it a few years back in my French class.

I recently saw Gravity as well. It was better than I expected, that is, not just two hours of Bullock and Clooney orbiting aimlessly until they die. It turned out to be pretty dramatic and tense throughout, which was a pleasant surprise. I may see it again.

The Dictator
Pretty funny. Not too much social commentary jammed into a comedy. Not as good as Borat but decent.

Man of Steel
I don't get the comparisons of this to Pacific Rim. I liked Pacific Rim better because giant robots > super heroes on the big screen right now. The story had a few notable flaws but it's not really stuff you notice during the movie. + Show Spoiler +
Sir, I've discovered that Superman's cells contain the stuff we want to repopulate Krypton. Or we could just... you know... all have sex and reproduce naturally. Anyways I got a blood sample from him and it's in the room over there. What do you mean you still want to go down there to get his cells? I have them right here!
.

Can't think of any other comments I had on the movie.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Just saw Man of Steel as well. That movie has less depth and story telling than it's own trailer...

I did somewhat enjoy the endlessly repetitive DBZ fights though!

So sad to hear this, I had this one saved up for tomorrow now that its on bluray. But Pacific Rim didn't have a story either, and that was fantastic (like will watch again), so I have my hopes.

It was horrible, my roommate who brought me to watch it fell asleep (to be fair he always does^^), plot is facepalm worthy, acors have the charisma of my grandfather under medication (except Russel Crowe), Hans Zimmer's "music" was even more unbearable than usual, and the fights really didn't impress me that much, and were pretty repetitive - I think DBZ's were funny at least.
Skip it imo.

Another problem with superhero movies is that they don't even represent the superhero anymore. Batman from the movies is so different from the one in every comic or TV show or straight to DVD movie. It's basically a Batman from a parallel universe.

Did superman really have Krypton's codex in his body in the comics?

Smallville and many superhero movies seem to cater to mass audiences who don't even know the backstory to the hero rather than people who actually watched JLA or Superfriends or something.

Yep, indeed. I would also like to recommend Hunger to you if you haven't watched it yet. Here i am waiting for "12 years as a slave" to be released on Spain.

Perfect Sense

An odd epidemic appears across the globe: people suddenly lose one of their senses. At first, it's an outbreak of loss of smell. In this mix are a scientist and a chef - she's Susan, one of a team trying to understand the epidemic; he's Michael, charming and engaging. Susan and Michael begin a relationship in the middle of increasing chaos, as the loss of other senses plagues more people and as civil authorities try to maintain order.

At times a little too relationshippy/emotional but an interesting story. The ending especially.
If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I always thought James Bond was just a "regular" mortal, but admittedly, I haven't seen any of the movies.

Now seeing Casino Royale, what's the story? Did he get some Captain America vita rays?

As far as I know, no. He's just a very talented spy that owns people. Typical spy plot most of the time, investigate bad guy, probably get caught, go through some trial to defeat bad guy, fuck women and drop them because you cbf.

Lol you should rewatch some of the earlier bond films. 50 guys shooting submachine guns across a room at him and he picks them off one by one with his pistol.

YE watch older Bond movies with Roger Moore or Sean Connery. They are much better than the new ones.

Wait, are you seriously implying that Moonraker is better than Casino Royal ?

I dont really consider the new bond films as actual james bond movies, they are far too serious, even though they are probably better, skyfall was very good.

Its like Nolans Batman's aren't exactly comic book movies. And Goldfinger, Dr No, and some of the others are better than casino royal / quantum of solace. The old ones were entertaining and fun, these new ones have to 1^ themselves for whatever reason.

I like the new bold films for the most part, but I can see what you mean about them not being true bond style.

just watched:

Being John Malkovich
For some reason I went in to this thinking it would be a comedy. But it was actually kind of disturbing. Good movie though, interesting premise. I would recommend watching it just for the experience, but I don't think i'll watch it a second time.

Movie 43
Despite being universally bashed by everyone, I actually really enjoyed this movie. Maybe I was just in the right mood, but I thought it was pretty hilarious. I liked the idea of these ridiculous skits, only peripherally connected. And the acting was, surprisingly, pretty damn spot on. But if there was one thing that I thought ruined it, it was the last skit which I thought was pretty lame
