Vantage Point (2008)

I think this movie was kinda good. Never mind the imdb ratings...

Yeah that movie is underrated.

Suuuucked. Forest Whitaker's acting was laughable. I mean, I actually LOL'd while watching it. And I usually like him.

I finalllllllly got around to watching Drive. One of the best of this year, in my opinion. The soundtrack was so good! I particularly enjoyed the cinematography of the car scenes. The 'less is more' approach to dialogue definitely worked for me.

It's definitely the peak of the "watching two people not saying a single word for twenty seconds at a time with no other action going on. Like, absolutely nothing" genre in 2011.


Otherwise a good flick though.

Just watched Let the right one in. I avoided it for a while as the plot sounded like twilight with little kids. However it does everything right that Twilight does wrong, most notably not being written by an utter retard for utter retards. Recommended.

Let The Right One In is the original. The American remake is called Let Me In.

ah ha, my mistake.

I thought Let Me In was actually a decent remake.


The trailer for the remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo looks solid too. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm looking forward to it.

Pariah



highly recommended. this could be a dark horse for some awards. A lot better than Precious

Watched Incendies, finally. Wow.

The Artist



Shame

Wait, there's Carey Mulligan in Shame? Brilliant, one more reason to watch this (as if McQueen and Fassbender weren't enough).

Also, the new Marilyn Monroe movie with Michelle Williams looks pretty great.

Wow, Shame looks great.

Leopold, how do you get the heads up on so many flicks?

I really want to see this.

Shame, Steve McQueen's acclaimed New York drama starring Michael Fassbender, has been issued with an NC-17 rating by the MPAA in the US on account of its "explicit sexual content". The certification, which will make Shame officially off-limits to anyone under 18, would seem to limit the film's awards-season potential, as well as its possible audience reach. But the decision of studio Fox Searchlight not to appeal the decision, nor to offer edits which might mean it could be reclassified as an R-rated film, suggests that the adults-only status may be one of the tools being used in the film's publicity drive. "I think NC-17 is a badge of honour, not a scarlet letter. We believe it is time for the rating to become usable in a serious manner," Searchlight joint president Steve Gilula told the Hollywood Reporter. "The sheer talent of the actors and the vision of the film-maker are extraordinary. It's not a film that everyone will take easily, but it certainly breaks through the clutter and is distinctive and original. It's a game-changer."

we have 3 major movie festivals every year (march, september, october), and usually the one in october offers us the oscar contenders. I unfortunately couldn't see Shame, because it was just one big clusterfuck, and at the end the major media got a chance to see it. think about 450+ people trying to get into a 140 seat theater. figured i can catch it another time.

also saw The Descendants



an all right film. not alexander payne's best compared to about schmidy and sideways, but it executes properly.

and i don't think i have posted the trailer for this movie yet, and i have been touting this movie for a couple of months. :P

Yeah, I posted this movie trailler some time ago.

Easily the most talented Olsen, apparently.

So Leopold, are you involved in film reviews or some other facet of the industry, or just an avid film goer?

Originally posted by Halcyon+On+On Transformers is an arthouse film that elaborates on the dangers of technological encroachment within our society. The presence of the decepticons is analogous to the presence of devices and vehicles which serve to separate man from his earnest nature by way of self-preservation, and their status of control over individual spheres of safety given the avarice of the developed world. Even their name, decept-icon, entails a certain reverence for their ability to shift within society as tools of man, and lord over him when it suits their destructive directives. The ubiquity of commercial presence in the film is in fact meant to be an ironic take on the delivery of advertising in our modern age, as it flaunts it directly and without reservation or coherence, as if to say we are drowning within the deluge of profitable information by way of entertainment as the new standard for competence. The director of the film, Michael Bay, is a subversive fellow staunchly opposed to corporate funding for his works of art, and mocks the fellow Michael Bays of the industry by ensuring an ironic explosion every 30 seconds. It's as though he is saying that, in our world, everything is combustible - a witty comment on the malleability and dichotomy of social and physical structures. Meagan Fox stars in the film as an everywoman disguised as a supermodel celebrity, representing the inevitability of female empowerment in intuitive roles. Her stolid grace is a juxtaposition on the expected role of women in vital roles of emergence (government, leadership) wrought with the summary expectation of obviously sexist individuals who might idolize her own devices for procreative ritual - which I believe is where the film comes full-circle. If we are to interpret the existence of encroaching mechanical beings as our competetitors for ideological codependence, then certainly there is a place for the machinations of biological imperative within the true understanding of our evolutionary future. Thank you, Transformers. Thank you.

been looking thru this thread to find something to watch tonight, and i just had to say, fucking lol.
