metadigital Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Robots (Robin Williams FTW) 28 Days Later not as bad as I expected: in fact a pretty decent post-apocalyptic vignette of man's inhumanity to man in a dog-eat-dog world. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Laozi Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 I really liked 28 Days Later, but I went into the movie theater not knowing anything about it. I do recall the next day making mental notes about things I could do to fortify my apartment against zombie attack. Tomorrow it seems that I'm going to have to watch The Hills Have Eyes. Theres a good chance I'll be checking my watch about ten min. into it. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Pidesco Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Just saw Good Night and Good Luck. George Clooney has come a long way since "Return of The Killer Tomatoes".

Kor Qel Droma Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 I watched Serenity again last night. And on the subject of 28 Days Later, I can barely recognize Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow and that bad guy from Red Eye. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
metadigital Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Not to mention Doctor Who being a major. Jimmy, what point did you think it became an action flick, after the double execution scene? I just watched Kill Bill volumes 1 and then 2. The first film was a lot better than the second. I'm not a big fan of ultra-violence, and women being hit is not a pleasant site (and I understand that Tarantino just likes looking at pretty girls, and likes kung-fu, so he put them together), but Tarantino has shown that his best talent is his eclectic eye for old film. I liked the attention to bushido and the gravity of law and the structure of it in the film. I thought the second film was overly long and had an acute identity crisis. Also, try as hard as I might, Uma Thurman just isn't believable as a kung-fu expert. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Dark Moth Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) That's interesting. I've often heard people just dismiss the first as a mindless gore-fest and say the second had the better "plot". Oh, just saw Master of the Flying Guillotine again. Don't ask me why I like it. Yes, I know it's heavy on the cheese. I think it's just that decapitation turns me on. Edited March 11, 2006 by Mothman
Baley Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) You don't like ultra-violence? Uhhh Uhh I was thinking about persuading you into watching some Miike films, damnation. Le fant Edited March 11, 2006 by Baley
Dark Moth Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 I've always thought the scene with Pai Mae (sp?) is it's one redeeming feature.
metadigital Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 That was my friend's big issue/great recommendation item. I just thought it meandered far too long; al the background stuff I had guessed in the first film: it was totally superfluous in the second. And David Carradine should have had more fight scenes.

Baley Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 You should watch Koroshiya 1. Yakuza boss Anjo disappears with three hundred million yens. His loyal gang members, lead by the masochist Kakihara, start a search, but their aggressive and gory methods worry the other yakuza gangs. Kakiharas most scary counterpart is the mysterious Ichi, a psychopathic killer with a dark childhood secret, who is controlled by a retired cop. MPAA: Rated R for strong perverse violence/gore and sexuality, language and drug content.
Surreptishus Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Kill Bil Vol. 1 - pays homage to many geeky film genres, klingon proverb at beginning was funny, anime section very good the end bit was awesome in its OTT ness. Vol.2 - Uh oh, run out of ideas, time to revert to talking "cool bul sh*t" mode zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

LadyCrimson Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 The Man - and man, was it a stinker. A few good comic moments but eh... “Things are as they are.
