For those that saw Drive:

possible spoilers ahead:

Did you notice any similarities/influences with the following movies:

Heat
Taxi Driver
Traffic

?

tinker tailor soldier spy was good as-- Not confusing or complicated, which I was expecting from reviews etc; I quite liked the pacing of it too, how they would kinda have the climax of an event, THEN explain it (rather than every side-plot building to a climax as per usual); it was a nice technique and kept you going "wtf just happened?? Ohhhh, I got ya"

Real Steel was sooo shit

Watched J. Edgar too- Very good! I really can't believe Clint Eastwood; who would've guessed he'd turn into such an ingenious filmaker (I know he's been awesome for a while now, but every new movie I'm still shocked haha)!? I'm not sure how well it'll go down in general; it was really a character film (like ENTIRELY!), and I liked that, but I could see some people not getting into it that much... Content aside I thought the technical side was really interesting and great. The way it cut between times, and events was just amazing; it never felt overdone, or forced, and was always fluid and felt right. I think that's rare for films that do jump around between times and events...

Originally posted by Meat187 Looks like this thread is also getting infested by elitists and hipsters. Anyway bruvs, I got the hottest recommendation ever for you: Attack the Block! I fuckin lol'd for 90 mins straight and was thoroughly entertained, too. This could very well be the best movie of 2011. Yes fags, it beats Poetry and Melancholia and The Artist and Pariah and Hugo and that overrated crap Drive by a mile.

like a hipster, i recommended this ..... 6 months ago! got to dig deep in the thread. it's buried somewhere. the movie is one of my top 10 favorites of 2011. Great film.

Originally posted by LAdazeNYnights attack the block was indeed amazing. when i finally got around to seeing super 8 all i could think was 'this fuckin blows in comparison to attack the block.'

after watching super 8, I feel it's not much of a science fiction, but more of a family drama flick chronicling the broken relationships of suburban families, and Abrams uses science fiction as a hook to mend those relationships.

Yeah, typical hipster. "I knew about it first."

From what I can think of now 2011 is all about 13 Assassins and Attack the Block. Maybe I'm forgetting something or didn't see something yet, but those two are clearly above everything else.

Dude, 13 Assassins was so fucking good. Brilliant piece of film-making.

I always enjoy foreign films more than domestic made films. Well, Bon Cop Bad Cop was also pretty funny for a Canadian made/based film. There are a few exceptions, but more often than not I will watch a foreign film over a domestic film any day of the week.

*edit: by domestic I mean USA, ha.

See, even you Canucks think you're just an extension of the USA

anyone here seen "The Killer Inside Me" ?

fucked up disturbing..


it remains faithful to the book I hear..

I'll see anything with Casey Affleck in it. He's just great.

watch it...its been on my mind lately (due to how messed up it is :/)...it has some pretty graphic violent scenes..a la irreversible.

Casey Affleck is amazing in the role of Lou Ford. You wont be disappointed with his performance. He plays a psychopath to perfection

I saw it as soon as it came out and really enjoyed it. You're right, it is pretty F'd at times

I just wish he'd get more roles. Seems strange that someone that good would get so little work. Next thing he's got is just some voice acting in ParaNorman.

Just saw "Sunshine". I think it firmly belongs under "fucked up movies" category. They should have called it "Event Horizon 2". So, if you enjoyed "Event Horizon" - this is your movie. Fuck, it was fucked up. Damn. I need some serious LMAO to get the "fucked up" effect out of my system. Two excellent tracks at the end. This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEApE7HcSac and this one:



to "lighten" things up, here's a "lighter" look at "Sunshine", courtesy of xkcd:

Excellent flick.

I can't believe you posted that raped version instead of the original!



I don't think it's a 'fucked up' movie at all, nor in a million years would I ever compare it to Event Horizon. They're both entirely different films.

I've just finished watching 'In Time' and I now want to slit my wrists.

Save yourselves, don't ever watch it.

I'm watching this now.

Cant believe i didnt see Sunshine before. Such a good film!!!

Seriously

I also enjoyed Sunshine. Most sci-fi movies fail hard.

Well, it being the trance forum and especially the c0r, I figure "raped" version would be more fitting

but yes, I like the original much better. trance version had a potential, but then went to shit.

As far as Sunshine vs EH:

c'mon now - it had more than it's fair share of "similarities". Don't want to go into spoilers, but it really did.

Lastly, I really had a hard time caring for any of the characters in Sunshine, especially the 'lead guy'. I think he would be better cast as a pretty boy villain than hero. Very poor casting. If anything, Chris Evans would have made a better lead.

I hate that it's so fuckin hard to find it in jap audio english subbed.

Shame is a masterpiece. So many great films lately.

based on recommendations watched drive and 13 assassins, both pretty good.

other than 2 really cool tracks i didnt like the music in drive. i still find it pretty funny this seems based off that playstation 1 video game 'driver' i think it was.

+1. I hate to admit it's better than Hunger, but the truth be told I am going to face reality and say it is. The last 20 minutes of the film is mesmerizing, in your face, gripping, and haunting all in one. I don't think I felt this way since watching Requiem for a Dream for the 1st time years ago.
