strong, strong performances all around (especially Anna Kendrick, who is now my new crush), witty dialogue but subtle (read: not Diablo Cody), and it actually had me laughing out loud quite a bit. but there are also a couple moments (well, one at least), which are downright crushing.

Oh need to see that one! and "The Men Who Stare at Goats"

Not exactly the fairest documentary I've ever seen...but it sure was interesting.

haha with a title like that you can't expect it to be. I'm guessing it's about Prussian Blue?

Yes sir.

The guy who made it was aiming to show them, then ended up trying to be a hero.

[Death_Mantis]

actually just saw "The Hustler" from 1961 with Paul Newman (adore that man). great film. although I really want to see "Up in the Air" this weekend or so.

[Moemers]

Just watched House of the Devil.


I REALLY wanted to like it, but I felt it was half an hour too long.

At 22 years old I finally saw Taxi Driver, I am a man now.

And Moemy I agree, that movie was baaaaaaaaaaaaalls boring besides the ending.

[Moemers]

I mean, I get it, they wanna set up atmosphere, but there's no need for 2 long sequences of her walking through this house.

Ugh.

Same (also 22). Watched it last month. It was one of those movies I've been meaning to watch for years but never got around to watching.

Ugh.

If she wasn't cute as hell there would be no reason to watch it. And it bugs me when people make it out to be a retro savior, but 70s horror movies weren't this fucking pointless and drawn out.

Some of the guys over at bloody-disgusting praise it and made it seem interesting. But I'm not much into slow boil movies so I might wait and watch it later. I still need to watch Martyrs, Antichrist, Ginger Snaps, and several other movies.

Thanks for reminding me to see Martyrs, I've only heard good things about it.

Antichrist was the tits though, and judging from your avatar you'll enjoy it for the visuals alone haha.

[The Midnight Rider]

slow pacing aside (personally, i didn't have a problem with it), i thought the entire aesthetic of that movie was amazing.

*edit* talking about The House Of The Devil

Oh man.

All those movies are so good. Get on it!

Martyrs is rough and well done.

Ginger Snaps is amazing.

Ginger Snaps 2 and 3 are shit though.

3 is kind of cool cause it's a period prequel, but the story sucks.

Should change your name to The Mediocre Rider.

You're welcome. I keep hearing good things as well.

It's Antichrist that has beautiful visuals? I thought it was Martyrs haha. I keep getting the 2 mixed up. Oh well, I already dl'ed Martyrs so I'll go ahead and check it out then immediately check Antichrist.

I haven't seen Martyrs, but Antichrist takes place in the middle of the woods and it feels like your retinas are getting blown constantly.

[Jizzlobber]

Middle of the woods? Oh fuck I need to see this nao! That's one of my favorite settings. That's the biggest reason I watched Blair Witch haha.

Really? I thought the second was great, darker, better written than the first.
The third was kinda lame, but I didn't mind it.

I wish they had made a spin off of the little girl "Ghost"..

[Eternal Recurrence]

Saw it yesterday afternoon with a few friends, incredibly hilarious.

btw, has anyone seen A Serious Man yet? If so, how is it?

Ditto for this. (I was the one that made the thread a while back). Can't recommend it enough. If you want to see something else with an interesting/disturbing food subject matter, I recommend the Svankmajer short film "Food." Actually, anything Svankmajer is awesome (I can't go into a movie thread without swinging off his nuts).

FAIL.

It ain't supposed to be a shoot 'em up thriller. It's all about Travis' mental deterioration.

[Cernunnos]

I hear everyone talking about Martyrs, which reminds me, did that movie Vinyan come out yet? It was another Frenchie extreme horror flick that had something to do with human trafficking. I saw the trailer for it on an Allmovie blog post that had horror trailers like Martyrs and the newest Coffin Joe. Haven't heard anything about it since.

[The Midnight Rider]

i don't know if it's out on DVD, but there are some torrents floating around

Haha I know I know, there are MANY mainstream movies like that that I haven't seen. But in my defense I have never seen Taxi Driver on cable, and I practically get every god damn channel, so suck it.

[FTS]

Finally got around to seeing this classic last year. OMG so amazing.

inb4OMGISAWTHAT5YEARSAGO

Haha I saw that last year as it was projected onto a wall during a noise show, was epic.

Vinyan was great...subtle, quiet horror.... It's not about human trafficking..it's about a mother looking for her lost child.


Holy Mt. is great, check out El Topa and Santa Sangre ....His new movie KING SHOT is in prduction!!!!! Also he's making a sequal SON of El TOPA
That is if he dosen't die...he's fucking 80 or something
