i saw holocaust recently. i didn’t get it. i mean, it just didn’t do anything for me. i skipped pride and prejudice. she knows there certain movies i’m just not gonna enjoy, she watches those either on friday mornings when i’m at work or sunday afternoons when i’m playing poker or something.
seen Lonsome Jim and Cache recently, and Tsoti.
Tsotsi-really cool, kinda like city of god(thats what reviewrers are saying)
Cache-cant decide how I feel, the movie was strange, you have to know about Frances history to fully understand it.
Lonsome jim- liked it alot
love song for bobby long- For some reason I really liked this movie?
P & P- Im in love with Kiera so I liked it.
Domino- better than I expected, tanintino esque
then I watchd some movie about a guy who travels to France during the 60’s? and ends up living with this incestual brother and sister pair and the movie gets really akward and uncofortable, I forget the title though. It sucked.
thats about all Ive seen lately. Oh and Wjhere the Truth lies, that movie is awsome.
the dreamers?
liberal - define didnt do anything for me
ya Dreamers, not a fan. Eaten Alive is another good Cannibal movie. Typical spagetti gore
didn’t really disturb me or entertain me. at least last house affected a part of me i didn’t really want affected. last house made me genuinely uncomfortable like i shouldn’t be watching it. cannibal holocaust just felt cheesey…
details…i dont think we’re talking about the same movie here
the one with the famous ‘turtle scene’ right?
edit: i think it was more the themes of last house that disturbed me more…the whole innocent teen girl getting carved into…i dunno…
edit2: lemme put it bluntly, last house almost made me vomit, holocaust didn’t…
Last house was corny, couldn’t get into it. I like the SFX, a movie malevolence used similar style…was kinda cool.
ok, some new directors i’ve been told to check out - bresson, cassavettes, and trakovsky. i’ve got sooo many foriegn films on my neflix list now, and my gf can’t get into foriegns really, so i get about one day a week to watch em…its gonna take me soooo long to get through all these…

ok, i have a question for pg(along with any other violent/exploitative movie freaks) - have any of you seen chaos? its essentially a rip off of virgin spring/last house, but its supposed to be over the top violence and torture. i was wondering how it compared to films like cannibal holocaust or last house…
never heard of it. what year did it come out
watched wolf creek last night. what a fucking stupid movie. I was able to watch it on fast forward and not miss out on a thing
Much for the same reasons (“Come on honey! It looks really funny!”) I’ve seen Just Friends.
Okay, it’s a farce, he’s just 2 hawtz.
But it was actually very enjoyable. The physical comedy was spot on for enticing laughter and getting a sense of pain. Most contemporary physical comedy is far too slow and not a surprise in the least, so it was a breath of fresh air to see some gags that actually made you cringe a little. My particular favorite was the snow ramp after the ice hockey game.
Hopefully I will be seeing Escape From New York and The Warriors soon with a friend.
Yamakasi.
It was a piece of shit from what I remember of it. Horrible. The easiest way to have made it good shit was make it a piece of trash that glorified each and every stunt but it was some sort of moral story in the end.
Okay, it might’ve been good, I dunno. But I hated it.
EDIT: Props to them for being fucking good at what they do though. Too bad it made a horrible movie.
Life as a House= Whitest movie EVER.
Fixed.
It is also probably the most innovative movie of all time in terms of cinematography.
I just find it funny how D.W. Griffith made roughly 400 films and only two of them were big; “Birth of a Nation” and “Intolerance”.

Nice list of directors you got on there; have you ever heard of Henri-Georges Clouzot? He was Hitchcock’s rival back in his heyday.
never heard of him, i’ll check him out. any paticular movie suggestion to start with?
Lucky Number Slevin is a damn good movie
Diabolique and Wages of Fear were probably his two greatest movies.
