Peter Sellers' last scene as Dr Strangelove is some of the best comedic acting ever.

[Rhyis.]

Ah Kubrick, how we loved thee.

[Mikus]

Dragon Tiger Gate was pretty cool. Also watched again Collateral and Grandma's Boy.

Snowtown (Australian film)

Half away through the movie. Great movie but some scene's are tough to watch. Fans of Red State & American History X should watch Snowtown. I think it's based on real events, not 100% sure as I don't want to spoil the movie reading a wiki.

Dragon Tiger Gate was pretty cool.

God I tried to watch this a little while back on Netflix, but the dub is sooooooooooo fucking awful. I really hate how many of their flicks are the dubbed versions. It LOOKS very cool, the cinematography that is, and I love Donnie Yen's style and this fight choreography but the dubbing... oh the dubbing.

Yep, it's all true. From what I understand, it's very accurate except

Spoiler: show

some of the characters are younger than depicted, but then again these characters were also junkies/in and out of jail so they were essentially 'worn-out' people

(don't read unless you've finished watching by now)

Spoiler: show

Right from the beginning things are fucked up w/ the pedophile babysitter, but you think things are going to be alright when the new husband kind of 'empowers' the kids by vandalizing the dude's house. Of course, it's all part of the Bunting's psychosis (hates homosexuals and pedophiles and then, as the real life events showed - people he simply 'suspected' of that 'deviant' behavior). Scenes like the car scene where Bunting smashes James head against the glass repeatedly or when he forces him to kill the dog are difficult to watch.

The torture scenes and the one rape scene are of course difficult to watch as well. However, I felt like the psychological manipulation and abuse Bunting inflicted on James was the focal point. Bunting also bullied and abused James brother (not the youngest one or the step-brother who he would later kill).

James Vlassakis eventually went to prison too since he took part in some of the murders towards the end, but I saw him as as much a victim as he was a murderer.

I also liked the 'look' of the film and the music (and often, lack thereof) which built tension/horror/etc. The very last scene in particular - the look on the victim's face when he realizes what's about to happen. The look on Jame's face. When James was riding w/ him on the way to supposedly get the computer, they made small talk and talked about the girlfriend. They went out for a beer. It was all so 'normal' and the actual 'trip to get the computer' took awhile. That made the final moment that much more horrifying. Plus, it was all true.

I read that in real-life, Bunting and the other killer (but not James) actually ate some of the victim's flesh... As a child, apparently Bunting had tortured animals and specifically enjoyed drowning insects in acid.

It was a good movie but difficult to watch. It's so bleak, compounded by the fact that the people in the film are all working-class or poor and out of work. James mother wasn't an evil person like Bunting, but she did assist in one of the murders of a suspected pedophile. But throughout the movie, she just looks like she's slowly dying. Her gaunt, worn-out face. The fact that she wasn't able to detect the pedophile she thought was a friend. And later when Bunting psychologically dominates her too. BTW - the person who played her is not a professional actor. She was an unknown, single mom the director saw in a supermarket arguing w/ some other lady - which is what caught his eye. She did a great job in the movie. I thought she was a veteran.

I felt sorry for everyone. Seemed like a shitty life in that town.

[vagus]

A very bleek and sad life in that town indeed. The pacing of the moving was slow and tense. This movie isn't for the faint of heart. The scene's are raw and violent, but not without a reason. Bunting is your definitive psychopath. Anyone watching this movie hoping to find an answer to serial killers, you won't find it here. This story could have happened anywhere and i expect to see more incidents like this in the future.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Chronicle, much better than I had anticipated.

I really want to see this but all my friends are saying it's one of those "Lost but found tape" movies. Like Paranormal Activity and that crappy movie where new york got attacked by Mr Popo. I can't remember the name.

[Doombear]

Cloverfield? I thought it was ok (Cloverfield, haven't seen Chronicle) and I generally hate those "shaky handicam real but not" movies.

I got it off Pirate Bay....It's not perfect but oh well. My wife is filipino and she sometimes has a hard time understanding american slang so we watch all movies with subtitles on. I'm just used to it now.

I can't find dub/subtitles for SPL, which sucks because I really want to watch that one!

On Deck: Infernal Affairs, Shogun Assassin, Kid with The Golden Arm, Five Deadly Venoms.

[Brill Weave]

Subtitles, only way to go when it comes to movies like that.

[Kiehl]

War of the Arrows was a decent Chinese movie. Dubbing was terrible but the action scenes were good.

[AidenCarby]

Shogun Assassin + 5 deadly venoms....FUCKING DO IT fucking awesome movies.

[vagus]

Just watched Hugo. A great adventure / mystery movie.

[Kiehl]

I watched Drive the other night. For a movie called Drive there was very little actual driving which pissed me off. Gosling's character was too silent. 2 minutes to say a 4 word sentence and just watch him smirk. I did enjoy the ending though.

[Maguspk]

Babel was pretty heavy, good movie.

Moneyball was good too.

[Elvis]

So I subjected myself to the new Underworld movie. I guess Kate Whatshertits only does these movies now since her hubby directs them and it requires little to no effort (except for wearing tight spandex). What a great racket though for her.

I usually can't stand kids in movies. They fuck everything up by being kids in movies. But the kid was ok. It's really lame how KateB (dunno her character's name), rips nigga's throats out but then is all kodak-moment w/ the kid and almost CRIES ! I guess they have some motherly-daughter connection but in a movie full of supernatural nonsense, that was the most unbelievable piece of special effects.

So many generic characters too. Like the new vampire guy. Who cares? I was so happy when the werewolf was eating his face, but then that stupid kid comes in and is all, im a werewolf-vampire so I'm better than you.

Where the fuck is Blade during all of this btw? Just kill them all please. Vampires suck. So do Werewolves (except for this one). Underworld is like Twilight for fans of Michael Bay and/or Adam Sandler movies.

[Caiyuo]

Was just reminded, but I saw Immortals the other night and was fucking shocked it did so poorly with critics. I was entertained the entire time and thought damn near everything about the movie was fucking awesome. Amazing fight choreography, too, was legitimately surprised by how good a few of the combat scenes were.

[Anoat]

I rented "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy", and it was a fun comedy. Plenty of sex jokes that were actually funny. And all the women in the movie were pretty hot too so thats a plus.
