The Brothers Bloom 7/10

[Overand]

Three Iron is pretty great. I think I like it most of Kim Ki Duk's films which have gotten pretty repetitititititive as of late.

[Guest Yegg]

The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai - 7.5/10 a ridiculous pseudo-intellectual pink film.

[Guest Al Hounos]

hmmm... just watched Bad Guy, also by Kim Ki Duk... powerful for sure, but damn it was depressing and bleak. 3-iron was hopeful at least.

 

certainly not a bad movie, but i can't say i liked it either. still want to see more from this guy.

Persepolis 7/10

 

great little film. really like the black and white animation style.

[Guest Al Hounos]

in fact, i watched Bad Guy the same evening i watched that deeply disturbing clip in the "pron these days" thread... it was almost enough to make me a militant dick-hating feminist!

I haven't kept up with him the last few years but The Isle, 3-Iron, Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring, and Samaritan Girl were all great. Time, Coast Guard, Real Fiction, Bad Guy and The Bow were all pretty meh. Actually, I might be too hard on Time and the Bow. I should probably watch them again.

off the charts - A+

I found this gem on youtube and it was much more entertaining than I expected.

Bruno - I only got 2/3 of the way through, but so far much better than i expected. I had really low expectations but found myself laughing out loud at several points, and putting my hand over my eyes at others. It turns out I'm a big pussy when it comes to embarrassing others; I had to pause the dvd when he was with Ron Paul and later with the homophobic karate instructor, I just couldn't take it. Not exactly sure why I react so strongly to public humiliation of others.

runaway train 9/10

[awepittance]

House of Wax (remake) 1/10 - fail fucking fail.

 

Titan A.E. 10/10 - Don Bluth is an animation master. this looks amazing in hi def.

[takeshi]

Tyson - 7.5/10

[sneaksta303]

2nd best film of 2009 next to Drag me to Hell

 

I just finished it. Holy shit it exceeded my expectations by a lot. 9/10 Seriously suspenseful, the whole way through, because you know that bitch gunna take a beatin from the get go. I loved all the subtle Evil Dead references too. The car that the old lady drove is the same car from evil dead also. Actually, that car is in every single sam rami movie at some point. At any rate, this was the bee's knees. I cannot remember the last time I saw an actually good scary movie. I loved "Slither" but that was more of a dark comedy (intentionally).

[chaosmachine]

i wanted to put a link to this (nsfw) somewhere. this seemed like a good place.

bikers+titties=win

[awepittance]

oh snap. have you seen The Thick of It?

 

I haven't but i just looked up after i read your post that the character Malcolm is the same guy in the movie! that's awesome, he was ridiculous. the dynamics of the movie reminded me of a british larry sanders show, Where can i watch The Thick of It online?

[Guest Adjective]

i just noticed in Ghostbusters that Ron Jeremy is in the crowd at 01:08:21, when the grid gets turned off and the ghosts are set loose.

 

10.6/10

[Guest beatfanatic]

Danny Boyle's The Beach - 5/10

 

It could have been a great movie but the 3rd act kinda ruined it.
