mfwahl Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Be Kind Rewind. Wasn't as good as Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but definitely was creative. Kind of cute. Mos Def's acting was really good. Jack Black was his usual self. Really good movie if you're into filmmaking or a fan of classic films such as Ghostbusters! Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Brilliant and brutal. I really liked that film. So did I. The soundtrack is also excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 serenity didn't hold up for me much after a recent re-viewing. just watched it again(first time since seeing the theatrical release), and I think it held up pretty well. my only complaint is, there wasn't enough Shepherd Book.

m_thomp Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I really liked that film. So did I. The soundtrack is also excellent. It was the most accurate cinematic depiction of the 80s that I remember growing up in. It also excelled in its realism, particularly the dialogue, which I'd assume was partially improvised given the off-the-cuff and very natural interplay between the characters. It reminded me of Kes in some respects, in that both concentrated on young boys who found some kind of freedom and sense of belonging, albeit in completely different ways. The young boy, Thomas Turgoose, turned in an astonishing performance too. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 J'accuse! / Abel Gance / 1919 Recorded this from TCM a while back, and have finally made time for it. I'm about halfway through. Pretty darn cool. Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Of all the crackpots currently making movies, Guy Maddin is my favorite, and perhaps the funniest. I can't think of a more comfortable headrest than a corpse buried under the carpet. I also finally got around to seeing Iron Man this afternoon. Great fun. Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Short and sweet. There's some nice footage of Robyn working through some new songs in his garden as a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Scene for scene, The Happening is easy to watch--but as a whole it's profoundly silly, badly acted, ineptly directed, and devoid of verisimilitude. What a crock. (Still, it's better than Lady in the Water...) Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Scene for scene, The Happening is easy to watch--but as a whole it's profoundly silly, badly acted, ineptly directed, and devoid of verisimilitude. What a crock. (Still, it's better than Lady in the Water...) The first time I saw a commercial for that movie, I thought of this movie: The Langoliers (1995). Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Scene for scene, The Happening is easy to watch--but as a whole it's profoundly silly, badly acted, ineptly directed, and devoid of verisimilitude. What a crock. (Still, it's better than Lady in the Water...)I almost went to see this today. I keep hearing that it blows. I figure, I better watch it to see what all the fuss is about. I'll probably check it out tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 B, just watched this last night... 'Schlock! The Secret History Of American Movies' a fun doc as a whole, if just for the treasure trove of b-movie and exlpoitation footage. the interviews w/ some of the producers/directors/architechts of the genre were kind of fun too. granted, a little lacking in spots relative to coverage of other influential folks (Russ Meyer for example) and missing subsets w/in the genre (AIE's teenage monster/kicks films get a lot of play, but no their beach/surf movies). it also makes an interesting case for how these type of films broke down a lot of barriers in hollywood and thusly should be considered more important than they may be today, which thinking about it...i kind of have to agree.
