I saw this at AICN and thought it was kinda crazy. I didn’t recognize him. Its for a new comedy (I’m assuming) called Tropic Thunder.
So, I’ve been catching up on a few movies. Watched Hairspray finally, and I liked it. I don’t really like Zac Efron too much though. Watched Infernal Affairs III, Director’s cut. It was kinda confusing at first, but in the end, there’s a payoff and I didn’t hate it. It was pretty good, nowhere near the original though.
Has anyone watched “Confession of Pain”? I’ve had it on my shelf for a while but haven’t gotten the chance to watch it yet.
Have a few rentals I need to get around to watching, too. Pixar Short Films, Death at a Funeral, Assassination of Jesse James, Beowulf and Legend of the Black Scorpion.
watched random movies now…
“the mist” fucking sucked. science gone bad thing is mad played out, crappy cgi, terrible acting, boring, annoying religious woman talking gibberish for 2 hours. this movie has it ALL :wasted:
“storm warning” was pretty good. mix of saw and hostel. 8/10 easy :looney:
“killing arial” was allright…really random but good for a “psycho” movie(lack of better term lol)
and watched eastern promises again. naomi watts has to be THE hottest 40 year old ever…I thought she was like 25 or something 
Since Cronenberg was directing and Watts doesn’t have much reservation showing off those giant nipples on camera I was disappointed she didn’t do a nude scene. Fuck, even Viggo was completely nude… WTF Cronenberg, not even a ‘step out of the shower’ scene for Watts? >:(
Eastern Promises was an enjoyable movie (although predictable and not really complex). Actually the hardcore violence and sex was pretty jolting as it didn’t really fit in with the rest of the film. I know Cronenberg is all about horror and gore but he needs to tone it down for his next drama that’s similar to History of Violence and EP.
^
The violence in Eastern Promises and A History of Violence is perfectly done and illustrates the themes of both movies. A History of Violence is actually about the violent nature of mankind that is apparent throughout our history. It strikes at the heart of our hypocritical idealization of “warrior culture.” Eastern Promises on the other hand is a genre picture immersed in the violent world of the Russian Mafia, who enslave their own women in the name of capitalism. It shows so-called “graphic” sex and violence as that is a daily occurrence in the abominable lives of the very people that live in such a world. To not show such acts would idealize the film. If you are complaining about the graphic portrayal of it, then you have the wrong idea. To NOT SHOW the blood, gore, bones, and sweat would in fact condone such acts by not showing the consequences of them. Humans are not pixels that fall off of the screen upon death, we are living flesh. Death is supposed to be dirty, even natural ones. If someone dies of old age, just think about what is happening to their corpse. It is being eaten from within by creatures that your now-dead immune system would otherwise fight off. This is why Cronenberg is one of the greatest directors currently working.
Point taken… but I have a problem with it looking absurd and comical. The sex scenes in HoV were over the top and the gore in both films looks B-horror quality (like Deathreaper’s av from Rambo).
ended up watching:
Rescue Dawn - i love bale, but i think he really overdid the acting here. i enjoyed the movie though until i read that its not how it really went down. but how can you hate a movie that makes you not hate steve zahn
Mr. Brooks - this is my second time watching it, on blu ray rthis time. Really good transfer, I really like this movie. Don’t wanna give anything away, so I dunno if you haven’t seen it rent it at least.
Kill Them All and Come Back Alone - finally got a US DVD release, a spaghetti western with Chuck Connors and Frank Wolff about robbing the US Gold stock. I think this movie has one of the best camera work I ever seen. The cinematographer Alejandro Ulloa is great in this and other spaghetti westerns. Script is really good too.
Ilsa She Wolf of the SS - explotation film shot on the set of Hogan’s Heroes haha. Basically some chick picks a new guy every night, fucks him, and gets disappointed when he ejaculates so she cuts off his penis. I think its one of the only movies classified as “nazi exploitation” too. Not jacking material though, but much better than crap like Hostel/Saw IMO. Just ordered the sequels (Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks and Ilsa, the Wicked Warden), hope they come soon.
oh yea if you want that, dont’ get the anchor bay crap - import the uncut version
here’s a trailer for it [media=youtube]ccnTMJly9iE[/media]
get 21 grams and see watts 5 inch nipples up close
taito blows goats. I have proof
I have all the Ilsa movies on my netflix queue but they always say long wait.
Today I woke up and watched Cool As Ice, We Are Marshall, and Gone Baby Gone. In order I would rank Them Marshall, Ice, Baby.
I saw naomi watts nipples in the theater when I saw mulholland drive opening weekend, havent needed to see her since.
Is Cool as Ice on DVD? I would buy it, that movie is the perfect example of how a bad movie can be so fucking good.
i saw a clip on youtube from the third ilsa movie where they arm wrestle with chainsaws on both side, turned me on to the movies
the fight in rocky balboa looks ridiculous on blu ray
one of the best i seen
I’d like to watch Balboa again, I really like it…think it’s been overlooked
Wicked Warden is supposed to be the best one. I’m also trying to get into the other nazi stuff like SS Hell Camp
Cool as Ice isn’t available from netflix so I guess a dvd is either nonexistent or out of print (i taped it off of hbo/showtime). They show it around here at revival theaters at midnight occasionally
also I dont hate taito, I was drunk last night
grindhouse last night - women’s revenge double feature of Abel Ferrara’s Ms. 45 and second feature was Alley Cat. Both were pretty good, Ms. 45 the better of the two. Girl gets raped twice in two different situations in like the first 15 min of the movie in ms 45
also yesterdya at work I watched the original Funny Games. Great movie. Now I have my halloween costume for next year
Beowulf - I was shocked at how far mo-capping has come from Polar Express; I really think that this has potential. The extras were interesting as it showed the actor’s interaction with setpieces, etc…
The story was pretty average though, even if it is updated for the 21st century. I liked alot of it, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. 6/10.
so none of the 3-d effects transitioned over i’d assume…that movie was real fun to watch at the theatre, i don’t think it could replicate it at home
why do you feel the sex scene was over the top…seems like a normal scene from everday life transfered in a movie…

Watch 10,000 BC in the theater…I usually dont like going to the theater but it was free…My bro was treating…You know the movie is bad when the retard kid at the handicap section not enjoying it…3 out 10
Jesse James - Convincing performance by the whole cast, did drag a bit in the middle but overall enjoyable film 8 out 10
Beowulf- Never really paid attention to the trailer but when put it in its a fucking animated movie…It threw me off as i was expecting some kind of crappy fantasy sword film…Too much ass not needed…5 out 10
I now pronounce you Chuck & Larry - Predictable… but funny…Lots of T&A god damn was Biel smoking hot…Oh bonus to the asian chicks too:china: 7 out 10
Talk to Me - Was good story & funny at times…Wasn’t really blown away or anything but was worth the rental 6.5 out 10
Okay so i just watched The Incredible Hulk trailer and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then i happen to see a link for the trailer of Lost Boys 2.
WOW i just want to know did we really need a sequel to this movie?
I just watched First Blood (that’s right, the original Rambo movie) for the first time.
Two thumbs up!
