Angelica Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Don't be mouthing off to me about Nic Cage, sparky! Why he didn't get an Oscar for Peggy Sue Got Married is highway robbery !His performance in that is maniacally brilliant. Aside from Adaptation., he doesn't seem to give a shit about the work he does anymore. As a hardcore aficianado of classic roles, it breaks my heart. You know what? I'm actually okay with it because he's now king of a whole new genre. The unintentional parodies. Everything he touches is b-movie heaven. Think of the endless mystery science theater sessions you can have on the weekends with his movies. I will say he's long overdue for a good movie though I wouldn't hold my breath for one. I think of Cage now as the new Leslie Nielsen rather than as a serious actor....I do still see everything he does, and I'm always a fan of unintentional hilarity. I think he could try and balance it out a little, though. Did you ever get around to Vampire's Kiss? That's still my most cherished performance of his.

Guest Apollo Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I just saw the most replusive gif ever and I'm trying to figure out which movie it's from...Anyone who knows a lot of Horror and doesn't have a weak stomach let me know and I'll PM it to you.Well the movie is High Tension.Thank you Dann.High tension was a good movie. I saw it in a triple billing of Hard Candy, High Tension and The Descent. I felt unpleasant afterwards needless to say.I'm actually a bit jealous of you!Seen them all.But seeing them all for the first time at a movie theatre . . . . priceless.

You will need therapy after watching this, whatever you think you've seen, trust me, this tops it. rape, multilation, shit eating, torture, cutting off toungues and cutting out eyeballs and scalping and extreme degradation and orgies and, ugh, its just all there. Few people i know can sit through it or would want to or i would even suggest to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I like Synecdoche, New York, but holy hell, that was one of the biggest mind fucks of a film I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Anyone who can take down a plane full of convicts, with John Malkovich being one of the convicts, is a god in my book.Lets not forget he also punches down women while dressed as a bear and steals their bikes!Bitch deserved it.Cage was so bad ass in Con Air though.So was Malkovich.In all honesty, Con Air is probably one of my favorite action movies EVER.

Most horror movies are usually godawful but "The Descent" was a thrill ride from beginning to end. I will think twice before visiting a cave.

Angelica Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Con Air is sublime. I love his late 90s action trilogy. It's the Ghost Rider, Next, National Treasure shit he's doing now that disappoints me. The Descent is fucking fabulous.The Specialist is funnier than most comedies. Sure it's retarded, but in a loveable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpecialist Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The Specialist is funnier than most comedies. Sure it's retarded, but in a loveable way. I can't decide who was funnier, Eric Roberts, James Woods, or Rod Steiger. In any case those three made the movie. I love that wildly inappropriate Gloria Estefan song also.

KBear Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The Descent sound cool. I may pick it up if I can get it cheap.I bought a crapload of movies recently because they are so affordable now. Frantic, Napoleon Dynamite, Dude, Where My Car? (hey, it was only $4), Kill Bill 1 & 2, Presumed Innocent, Tomb Raider 1 & 2, The Ninth Gate, Blood Diamond, National Treasure, Crash, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Mallrats, Bruce Almighty, Pulp Fiction, Diabolique, The Black Dahlia, American Pie 1-3, Dumb and Dumber, The Presitge, Canonball Run 1 and 2, A Simple Plan, Se7en, The Hot Spot, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Casablanca, Harold and Kumar Guantanamo Bay, Murder by Numbers, Amercian Psycho, The Da Vinci Code, The Bourne Trilogy, Mystic River, Clerks II. Got a few more I'll pick up later this year.I only watched the first three so far. I liked Frantic a lot, same with ND; Dude, Where's My Car? had it moments, not a lot of them though.

Upon reflection though, I think you've forgotten a contender for the funniest element - awkward, bizarre and overly choreographed sex scenes involving movie stars who share absolutely NO chemistry...is there really anything more amusing?

Steiger sounds like he just made it up on the fly. That sex scene though....is an oddity. Rather than being erotic...it just felt awkward. Sly and Sharon were literally posing like greek statues throughout the entire scene. Oh well...the greatest scene in that movie is Rod Steiger opening up the locket, realizing he's screwed and shaking his fist in the air before getting blown up.

Lithium Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I saw the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet at school today. I reckon it's a good film, but it didn't really do much for me personally. I like Romeo + Juliet (the one with Leo, Claire Danes and Leguizamo) much more.And last night I saw Seven Pounds and The Strangers, the first a 7/10, the latter 5/10.

Gash Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Ong-Bak - I enjoyed this a lot! I tend to shift away from martial arts films nowadays because of the wires and boring storylines but this was great! Didn't seem to take itself too seriously and worked better because of it. Might be too violent for some though. High Fidelity - Had read the book but never seen the film. Thought it was very good and thoroughly enjoyable. Cusack did the role well. Whereas the film adaptation of About a Boy, (another Hornby novel) I found to be very contrived, void of the usual Hornby wit present in the original work and well, you know, Hugh Grant was in it. The Doors - Didn't like this. I realise that it wasn't meant to be accurate, as Stone's biopics usually aren't but I felt it was just Morrison rampaging around drunk and stoned for the whole film. Had its moments but left me....I don't know, disappointed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
