Randy Lahey Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Has anybody seen Cloud Atlas yet?I thought it was really cool, the several story lines that fit together are presented well and the cast gives some damn good performances. I'd love to see it again but definitely not in theatres. 3 hours is a long time for my ass to be planted in one placeI went and saw it tonight. I was expecting a bit of a mess from what I'd read about it, but it actually all came together quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess i just wanted to watch some movies where it's like...storytelling technique is paramount? I wanted to watch stories unfold y'know, in the way they do in Courtroom Dramas. I found myself increasingly watching movies where it was less and less a case of "i wonder whats gonna happen next!", y'know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Come and See (1985) Soviet film about the Nazi atrocities in Belarus (or White Russia) that was so disturbing that ambulances were called frequently during screenings. Fantastic film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Watched Looper. Started off okay, but wasn't really all that. To be honest, it was just a love story with a creepy kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tater Totts Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Saw Skyfall.So you're telling me James Bond is not English? Wow!Well his nationality is never explicitly mentioned, only that he was British. But then again just because Skyfall was in Scotland it doesn't necessarily make him Scottish.

izzygirl Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yesterday night I watched a German film made in 1981 called "Christiane F". It's a movie about a 14 years old girl addcited to heroin and who prostitutes herself to get money for drugs.It's based on real events. It's a tough movie but I recommend it!

izzygirl Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sounds cheerful.Haha...it's not cheerful but I love that kind of movies. It shows the drug scene in West Berlin in the 1970s and a lot of teenagers took heroin at that time. It's sad but it's pretty interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Saw Skyfall.So you're telling me James Bond is not English? Wow!Well his nationality is never explicitly mentioned, only that he was British. But then again just because Skyfall was in Scotland it doesn't necessarily make him Scottish.I need to avoid these Skyfall spoilers. Luckily this turned out not to be a big plot revelation. Anyways...I've yet to see Skyfall, but I'll throw this out there. Fleming wrote a bit of a Scottish background for the novel Bond after being impressed with Connery's performance. So Bond is technically British but with Scottish ancestry.Speaking of Bond, I'm up to Moonraker for my Blu-ray marathon. 11 more to go before next Friday.

wasted Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Don't Be Afraid of the Dark - Cliched but fun. whispering gremlins. the paranormal activity of gremlins movies.Freelancers - lots of cool gangster shit with DeNiro and Fiddy. but badly directed or zero budget or both.The Factory - this shit was fucked up. for a John Cusack movie it was terrifying.Guns, Girls and Gambling - a throw back to 90s post Tarantino with some stuff about native americans. Hot blonde with a gun and etc. it was fun. I saw it twice now.Rites of Passage - kind of like Scream for the iGeneration. Awesome openly scenes.Red Lights - total classic right here. DeNiro's best role since The Fan.Killer Joe - must see, its a bit slow but you have to see it, just to make sure you've seen it.The Expatriate - like Taken 2 but not as good and with that guy from that Chef movie with Zeta-Douglas.Amzing Spiderman - best comic movie since Batman 87.Looper - awesome til I realized it's Terminator meets the "I See Dead People walking around as regular people" movie. awesome effects though. those gun shots were way to loud it was like Drago pounding his fist into Rocky's ribs.
