What's the last movie you've seen?

[KuntaKinte]

"Hotel Rwanda" yesterday. Not a great movie, but touching.

Why is it not a good movie?

It is, I just said it's not a great movie.

Hot Fuzz

Wells, the place where they filmed it, is actually like that.

Aguirre and Woyzeck would be my top recommendations.

Aguirre is the best Herzog movie I've seen, definitely my favorite.

I would also recommend the Nosferatu remake from 1979, I've seen it long ago, but i remember i liked it very much.

I'm inclined to agree, even though I really liked Woyzeck as well. Nosferatu is good but doesn't compare to the other two, imo.

As an aside, I kind of found Hotel Rwanda a bit overrated as well, to be honest.

It certainly feels that way. One of those films that I felt the urge to say 'that's so true!' every few minutes. I mean, I don't think they actually kill people, but...

Kick Ass

Crass humour and gore, what else could a guy want in a film worth viewing when hardly any good ones are actually on. Nicholas Cage, was particularly funny; initially I thought he was some kind of paedophile with that slowly balding scalp and that Village Peopleseque ginger mostache.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.

When does it come out in the US?

Probably one of the better comedy's I've seen at the cinemas for a while now. I still can't get over how many times Hit Girl said cunt though.

Yeah, I saw it last night and thought it was ridiculously fun.  It's something like "Kill Bill" meets "Spider-Man" meets "Superbad", except more fun than any of those movies.  Matthew Vaughn's last movie ("Stardust") was also pretty fun.

Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972)

Excellent. What everyone says here is correct. The opening shot must be one of the greatest in the history of Cinema.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

Dated and Dull Hitchcock. No longer really interesting in the Post-David Lynch world.

Kick-Ass

Meh. Another Geeky-Teenage Wish fulfillment fantasy on screen. Who Cares? The film was fun (though very predictable) in places but completely and utterly disposable, forgotten except for the theme tune after I left the cinema. For my money (cue a very long Argument with BRTD) Mystery Men was much better and more original. Though I'm viewing Mystery Men through the lens of my 12-13 year old self.

It feels like it could be set in some of the more affluent areas of Bucks Countuy too.

But when you say that's so true, is that a reputational type thing (going by what you think is a decent representation of the area) or do you have first or reliable second hand sources on it?

Because it seems to be a Londoner's (insert your hometown here) view of that part of your country, or a Lower Bucks person's view of Central Bucks.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Flash Gordon. I mainly just watched it because Queen did the soundtrack, though it was pretty enjoyable all in all.

Kick Ass.

It was everything I expected, hilarious and bloody. Too bad the theater started showing the wrong movie at first (Date Night), but everyone in the theater got a coupon giving free admission to any movie at the same place that never expired so it made up for it.

I'm gonna try to see it Saturday, not sure if I'll have time though.

[they don't love you like i love you]

If you're familiar with TV Tropes, think of the epitome of Refuge in Audacity and Crosses The Line Twice.

Also I learned from the trailers that Hollywood is now so out of ideas that there are two movies coming out this summer with basically the exact same plot (Knight and Day and Killers).

Oh yes! Hit Girl is such a great role model for young girls.

Kick-Ass - awesome.  Everything about it was amazing; Cage was awesome, and so were all of the kids.

Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975)

First of all.... ummm... Wow. (Yes, that isn't the right word. But can you think of anything better?)

Secondly I'm shocked anyone (except the inanely literally-minded) thinks this is pornographic. If anything it is most anti-pornographic film ever. Parts of it were like being punched in the face for two hours (not in a bad way)

This an extremely interesting film intellectually, though I'm not sure artistically (no one would ever confuse it with a piece of entertainment) and I do think Pasolini does capture many things about the nature of fascism and its relation to liberalism, self-concious intellectualism (though I do wish this was explored a bit more) and notions of sexual liberation (which makes BRTD interest in the film very ironic, or perhaps it is an indication of Pasolini's artistic failure. I mean we can see such images regularly on the interwebs these days - The Libertines and thus Salo have won).

So many other things to say, it's remarkable (but also very frustrating) in it's own way.

It was probably "Videocracy". Berlusconi is one scary fellow!

Kick-Ass

I agree with what everyone else here has said. It was simply awesome (minor plot holes and such aside).

[they don't love you like i love you]

I'm planning on picking up the comic too now. Apparently there is a sequel to it coming out in September/October as well.
