Snake Eyes Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Get Him To The Greek was average apart from 10 minutes in the middle which was fucking hilarious, I'd see it again just for those 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Inception and Memento are both better than a couple of Kubrick's lesser works, and his very precise approach to filmmaking is similar to Kubrick's style, so I can understand the comparisons.Inception wasn't quite perfect but, wow, what a mindfuck of a movie. Loved every minute of it. And Hans Zimmer's score was awesome. The fight sequence that takes place as the van is flipping in the dream within a dream is the sort of breathtaking and unique scene that is an almost instant classic. Nolan set a new standard with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much have complete faith in anything he does. It might be hard to top the cultural zeitgeist surrounding Dark Knight, but I don't think the film itself will disappoint many people. Something tells me he will figure out a way to bring it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like maybe kill off Batman to stop this series he has done being milked after he moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuddMckagan Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Watched The Soloist a few nights ago. I thought it could have been a bit shorter because the content of the movie didn't need to be that long. I don't actually know if I enjoyed it, I guess it wasn't what I expected it to be. I will say that Jamie Foxx did a pretty good job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketmaster101 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I feel like I'm in such a minority at the moment as I really didn't enjoy Inception at all. To me it was a good visual spectacle, with some stuff that was quite inspiring to watch, but as a film I feel it failed at the first hurdle; it did not keep me interested. It's the first thing a film has to do, and din't for me, and so I couldn't care less about anything that happened.On the plus side rewatched Back to the Future last night, classic =pAnyone have any reccomendations for contemporary films that you would consider good. I enjoyed the Hurt Locker last year, but haven't seen anything since really. xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go see Inception soon, but I really, really, really doubt it would even come close to anything Kubrick ever farted.The imagery is extremely hypnotic and combined with the cinematography, a few scenes feel VERY Kubrick.

Nobodys_Fault Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Watched Ink. Really well made indie film that explores the idea of dreams and paralell worlds. Kinda wish I hadn't watched a pirated version of it because it fully deserved my money. Having said that I would have no idea where to find a copy.. think I read somewhere that the people behind the film embraced how heavily this was pirated because it exposed the film to a larger audience.

Philly Guns Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 just saw inception, and what a mindfuck that was, I have so many ideas of what the ending could of meant, that I am starting to question if I am even real lol. Plus hans zimmer does it again, his music really takes movies to a whole new epic level. His stuff blends so well with each scene. A movie like this shows why a great story, script, and music can create an amazing movie that doesnt have to be in 3D. GO!!! 2D!!!!!! . This is def the best movie of the summer.

Jumpin' Jack Flash Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Jumped on the bandwagon and caught Inception. It was quite good. NOTHING Kubrick like about it though...Not the faintest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
