so RE extinction out this friday

yeah!!

ill see it with the gf

soemthing wrong, pg?

1408 is my favourite film in a long time. A surreal, absurdist romp. Scared the pants off me, but also (intentionally) made me laugh every now and then. A couple of parts really stood out for me:

1408

Spoiler

The end of the false-awakening section, where Cusack’s character believes he had a hallucination after nearly drowning. We all KNOW he hasnt escaped the room, we all know that, but the manner in which he is deposited back there is really REALLY chilling. Just knock those walls down and there it is. Ugh… then there’s the phone. The slow-mo voice with the melting phone was so horrible, the message it gave was so fucking nasty, and the fact that the voice didnt really belong to anyBODY in particular… eugh! Horrible horrible I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO IN 1408!!!

I generally hate horror flicks but this film is so good. Can’t wait to get the DVD, because apparently the original ending they filmed was panned by the test audiences as being ā€œtoo much of a downerā€. I can’t wait to see it as I have a very good idea as to what it might entail…

I mean seriously, no-emo and all, but this film is about DESPAIR. The ending they gave it for cinematic release is quite open to various interpretations, but I think they could really slam the lid on the coffin with a more resounding thud. Will find out when the DVD is released.

just saw resident evil extinction

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

that about sums it up

im outi

I’ve yet to actually complete watching a single RE movie

i actually liked the first one

the second one was blah

third was just hilarious at how over the top is

anyone else see eastern promises yet so we can talk about what a pimp viggo was in the bath house scene

Finished Invisible Target a few hours ago, not bad… run of the mill HK movie but a fuck of a lot better than that overhyped Donnie Yen bullshit last month.

Off the top of my head, it has: Shawn Yue, Jackie Chan’s son and Nick Tse lol.

The parkour is brutal but the fight pieces make up for it.

i swear i will see eastern tomorrow (sat)

you know, if they had gotten a better (read: any) actor other than ice cube, Ghosts of Mars would be pretty good.

Yes, and most Kevin Costner movies would be good if Kevin Costner had nothing to do with them.

Eastern Promises

Spoiler

Damn good stuff. I very much enjoyed it. Vincent Cassel is the man…he ate up this movie almost as much as viggo did (and the fucker gets to fuck monica bellucci on the regular). The bath house scene was unbelievable. I also liked the killing of the kid before the soccer match. Viggo was a bad ass. At first I thought it was going to be he was undercover from a different rival russian mob or something. Parts def. reminded me of Ennis’ Punisher MAX arc The Slavers. I didn’t really have a problem with the ending - did you just want to see the father arrested and then Viggo take out the son? I thought the image of him in the restaurant implied enough of that. I agree not quite as good as History, but I think that’s partly due to how detached we are from most of the characters and how cold the story is - it’s not an easy protect my family/revenge flick.

anybody ever see death trance? I remember seeing it a couple years ago, it was awesome. it would be cool to see more full contact fight scenes in movies instead of the usual ā€œstop an inch before you hit themā€ fights.

The Kingdom was a tight movie!!!

Have anyone else saw Stranger than Fiction?

watched Lucky You this weekend…for a bad movie it was enjoyable.

also re-watched The Exorcist, not the re-released version. It holds up really well. I think one of the reasons it is so scary/upsetting is because the movie is like a connect-the-dots of adult fears. You’ve got the fear of doctors, fear of medical procedures, fear of becoming old, fear of being forgotton and locked away in a crazy house, child abuse…this movie has it all. I also never connected that Ellen Burstyn played the mom. Also noticed this viewing how there is practically no musical score throughout the film (when music finally cuts in at the closing credits the effect is really jarring) which is very rare for a horror movie

anyone else love space jam?
I dont think I can get tired of that movie, its perfection

go ahead! prove me wrong!!

^It’s all about Shawn Bradley being one of the victims

I was like, ā€œthe aliens actually got to suck talent out of him? …wait, what?ā€

…:lol:

at home right now i’ve got Dead Silence and The Wind That Shakes the Barley

Spoiler question for Dead Silence:

Dead Silence

Spoiler

Did you see the SAW doll ?

Oh God, not even worth the time typing up that particular title.
