ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I've been getting back into the routine of watching as many films as possible lately, i watched the Butterfly Effect and i thought it was very good and last night i saw the Friday 13th remake. It was the first time i've seen a horror at a cinema, parts made me jump and spill my beverage on a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtylenny Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Rewatched:A Child Is WaitingGloriaBoth John Cassavetes movies, very very good. It would've been interesting to see what "creative differences" caused Stanley Kramer to fire John as director at the editing stage of A Child Is Waiting. By Cassavetes own admission it had something to do with Stanley Kramers view that retarded children (thats what the movies about) should not live in regular society and be hidden away from the world in institutions where they can be around their own. Mr. Cassavetes thought different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusions Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 watched pineapple express yesterday and wasnt expecting it too be that good, boy I was wrong! I really enjoyed it and I was sober, I imagine it would be even better while having a few drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 ^ Don't you mean a few hits from the bong?Just watched "American Gangster". Didn't do that much for me, but it was okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Just watched "American Gangster". Didn't do that much for me, but it was okay.I felt the same way. Decent enough, but nothing different.Ridley Scott has been boring me for a while. I really liked Matchstick Men, but then things like Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven are pretty much piles of crap.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) I've seen Wyatt Earp. Liked it. I must say that I really like those good Cowboys and Indians-films. Would any of you mind giving me some tip on great "Old West" films?Edit: Post number 9,000! Edited February 15, 2009 by Satanisk_Slakt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would any of you mind giving me some tip on great "Old West" films?If you haven't already, watch The Man With No Name trilogy - A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - those are essential to anyone who enjoys Western, or anyone that appreciates film in general. Once Upon a Time in the West is also terrific.Recently watched/re-watched: Punch Drunk Love - 7/10Spartacus - 9/10Full Metal Jacket - 10/10The Promotion - 5/10The Wrestler - 9/10Soldier Blue - 7/10Sideways - 8/10The Fountain - 8/10And I bought these yesterday: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (finally )MagnoliaThe Third ManMalcolm XEmpire of the Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thank you. I haven't watched any of them. I never watch films that are that old, because I really don't like when the quality of the video is shit. Well, I've started to download them all.Are there any other good ones that are newer than the 60's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Good. I insist you buy them on DVD, though, it's a much more pleasant experience to watch them on a TV rather than a computer screen. And they're well worth the money. As for newer westerns, I can recommend The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford - it's not really a western in the traditional sense, but I suppose you can add it to that genre anyway. The remake of 3:10 to Yuma is also quite good (although not as good as the original). Appaloosa is also very good for a modern western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ^ Don't you mean a few hits from the bong?Just watched "American Gangster". Didn't do that much for me, but it was okay.It only works for me when Crowe is onscreen. His character and performance are more interesting than every other aspect of the film combined. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (finally )MagnoliaThe Third ManMalcolm XEmpire of the SunAll great, well done. Thank you. I haven't watched any of them. I never watch films that are that old, because I really don't like when the quality of the video is shit.

dirtylenny Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Are there any other good ones that are newer than the 60's?Not a lot and even less from the 90s onwards and the reason for that is that those kindsa men dont exist anymore. Men like John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Randolph Scott dont exist any more and the ones that do dont choose acting as a proffession for some reason.Better leave a note on Lenny's profile, to be sure he doesn't miss it.awww babbyyyy...i love you tooooo Edited February 15, 2009 by dirtylenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
