Seriously? That shit was the bomb. Like an Indian version of Big Fish.

Yeah it's hard to put my finger on it exactly - it's funny you mention Big Fish because I love that movie.

It took too long to get going and I just didn't find the main character to be compelling. The fact that the only other characters for most of the movie were CGI animals probably didn't help.

Ditto.

Indian dude hallucinated while starving and dehydrated for 2/3 yrs... Then he says hes multi-religious? Sorry guy, personal tragedy doesn't make you a prophet these days. Incredible stories aren't gospel in this age.

I don't remember how they explained the island, but i dont think he ever hallucinated. wait, did you understand the part about the animals?

The point of the movie is to make you realize that whichever of the two stories is real doesn't matter. The truth is undoubtedly somewhere in the middle of the two. Instead of getting the truth you're given a parable told through fables and mythos. The lesson learned from the alternate yet same journey is what's important.

We both liked Star Trek. I would recommend.

Took a girl who's not really into action movies and hadn't seen the first and she really liked it.

Much more entertaining than I expected.

There's a lot to look into when it comes to the explanation of the island. I didn't really understand it until I caught myself analyzing it while trying to explain it to a friend. Him finding the island, in my opinion, is him dying. Like, he actually died on the boat. Him finding the island is his body being nourished and brought back to life. I think this because he passes out on the boat, then there is the island scene, then he wakes up on the beach. There is no story after he leaves the island. Also, the island looks like a human when it is in the water. I think this is his body, and because of the way it is laying in the water I feel like it is a reference to the way Jesus' body was laying when it was "resurrected" as well. The body being under water and the half of it being above water is much like the explanation for the "Shroud of Turin" (sp on the name of that shroud). This may be an over analyzation but it's the only way I feel like it can be explained. If you don't know the story behind the shroud look it up a bit because it is interesting. There's a lot of scientific thought behind it also.

Was going through my vcr tapes and popped one in unlabeled and it was near the beginning of Best of the Best. Ended up watching all of it in its vhs glory and now looking for the blu-ray. good god just a great kung fu well martial arts movie

I figure since the review of this movie is so horrible, it doesn't worth a new thread.

After Earth is at 12% on RT already hahahahaha, reading all the critics ripping Jaden Smith a new ass hole is far more entertaining than the movie itself.

"It had a great premise, solid special effects and decent direction, but the film's potential is derailed by some truly atrocious acting, especially from Jaden Smith."
"Jaden Smith (who was actually good in THE KARATE KID) winds up looking like a nervous child who, forced to play baseball by his father, strikes out with the bases loaded."
"The problem is that Jaden Smith is a truly, deeply limited actor. When you call on him to do THIS much on screen, it's not good. In fact, it's painful"
"Is "After Earth" the worst movie ever made?"
"Even with his charismatic dad in his earpiece calling the shots, Jaden can't turn himself into a movie star by sheer force of Will."

[Salodin]

I feel like Jaden is the Justin beiber of movies. Every one loves to hate him, but the dude still makes more money year after year.

Is Now You See Me any good? I have a free ticket to Iron Man 3 and I was thinking about movie hopping afterwards. After Earth was a consideration, but after seeing the reviews....

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring

Been hoping for a subtitled Blu Ray release of this for a while, with it looking like it will never get one. So I was excited to see an HD version on television last night as I was flipping around. Check your listings, maybe you get lucky. It was on Indieplex for me, though it looks like an SD version is showing on Starz next week too?

Wonderful, subtle, and simple film. Loved everything about it. Ki-duk Kim's films are kinda hit or miss with me. Loved Pieta, didn't care for Samaritan Girl. Dream is on Netflix, and I plan on checking that out this weekend finally.

Netflix horror movie binge the other night

Pontypool
Very interesting take on a zombie-type scenario, with the whole movie taking place inside a radio station.

V/H/S
Found footage horror composed of 5-6 short horror stories. Some were good, some were bad, it was entertaining overall and the bad parts were fun to laugh at.

Session 9
Psychological horror, fairly disturbing/interesting.

[Jaybar]

Went ahead and watched Mud last week based on some really solid reviews and I was very much entertained. Great story through and through, although I recall early on being a little nervous that the movie wouldn't pick up pace - but be not afraid! Makes for an excellent date movie without being "Notebook"-ey.

[Andalusian girls]

Mud and Pontypool are mad dope

[Kalmado]

Just watched Gangster Squad. If you like gangster/crime movies it's a decent watch.

[Brill Weave]

It always amazes me that more people haven't seen Session 9. Such a great flick. Watched End of Watch last night. I regret putting it off for so long. Great movie.

The Bow (or maybe just Bow. Korean name is 활) is another one of his that you'd probably like, and is my personal favorite of his movies. Time is also really good, and is probably much easier to find. Avoid The Isle, 3-Iron, and especially Real Fiction like the plague.
