"Irreversible" is the same director, no? Isn't that the one where the dude beats the guy's face in with a fire extinguisher?

Yep, with the really devastating rape scene as well.

well, after reading about the last few really uplifting and celebration of life movies

,

my contribution is the latest impossible movie. it's the first time I've been to a movie theater in years, and the first time I've been to an imax. yes, I live under a rock.

anyhoo - it was big dumb fun. there were some stunt scenes that really were absurdly funny, to the point of me loling. yeah, it's obviously all cg'd, but the scene at the tower in Dubai is pretty cool. the plot is really, really simple. they throw some weird love thing in at the 'surprise ending'. but all in all, it was worth a couple of laughs. oh and the two women in it are pretty damn hot.

the good chick

her boobs are amazing on the Imax

they didn't have a preview for the hobbit (bummed). but they did have one for the new GI Joe. The trailer for the new one blows Rise of Cobra oot the water.

giant cobra banners are unfurled at the white house - that was pretty cool

just watched bellflower.

i enjoyed it, but couldve done with a little less tilt-shift.

13 assassins- grade A
Trollhunter - Grade D except for the CGI = A
Body of Lies (Ridley Scott) WTF? I'll try to watch it again since it's Ridley - was this a gobbled mess?

GodShifter · December 20, 2011, 10:33:34 AM

Yeah, dude, I agree with you. I loved 13 Assassins and hated Trollhunter. As far as Trollhunter, why is everyone so up in its jock

I found the concept ridiculously stupid (yes, I realize it's fantasy/horror, whatever - still), and the movie just bored the hell out of me.

EaterofBirds · December 20, 2011, 10:55:35 AM

I dont see the 'all up in Trollhunter's jock'..I saw a fun, tongue in cheek fantasy thriller. Great scenery, tense enough at times. Fun ride and doesnt take itself too seriously. Great movie.

The Shocker · December 20, 2011, 11:06:33 AM

I think the idea of Trollhunter is a little better than the execution, but I still enjoyed it.

GodShifter · December 20, 2011, 11:07:34 AM

The thread @ The Obelisk re: "Trollhunter" was almost resoundingly positive in terms of its reviews. Granted, it's not a long thread but almost every comment was how much people liked it. I don't get it, sorry.

Obelisk - there's your answer...
Stick to this place for your movie reviews.

Yessiree, bob.

For me, I liked Trollhunter because it wasn't What I had expected. Truthfully I thought it was a Syfy made-for-tv flick. It was just tense enough not to stress me out. I hate highly suspenseful horror films, they give me migraines for some reason. I guess I'm just not into horror aside from zombie movies. Trollhunter was just mellow enough but had a heaviness that worked for me. I liked the slow pacing and somewhat boring progression. Everything Looked good in the film and the trolls didn't appear overly cheesy.

Man, that sux.

I've never been into torture, guts n' gore, and the like. Turned off Wolf creek once he said, "I never mess with your cunts" (or whatever he said). I prefer spooky/creepy and occulty stuff though.

Lumpy · December 20, 2011, 07:57:25 PM

Really good. Netflix has it "Instant View" or whatever they call it, too.

GodShifter · December 20, 2011, 08:45:29 PM

^Yeah, that was good. Surprisingly, the US remake called Let Me In was pretty good, too. Pretty faithful to that one, in fact. The "cat scene" in that one, though, was pretty painful to watch (and not in a good way). Cringeworthy.

Jor el · December 20, 2011, 10:31:47 PM

I love the cat scene.

The Shocker · December 21, 2011, 07:41:37 AM

Both were good, but I give the nod to the original.

d00d. Seriously?

Jor el · December 21, 2011, 12:12:26 PM

I love kitties.

GodShifter · December 21, 2011, 12:38:18 PM

So do I, but that scene was not executed well (no pun intended).

Jor el · December 21, 2011, 12:49:17 PM

I'll have to view it again.
How was it in the remake?

GodShifter · December 21, 2011, 01:24:42 PM

I can't remember, exactly, but it seems it wasn't really emphasized very much ...

I haven't seen it in a while like Shifter, but I don't remember it having that scene in the remake.

Lumpy · December 21, 2011, 03:44:38 PM

I thought the cat scene was awesome. Are you talking about how it looked like some stuffed cats were pinned to her shirt, in one or two shots? That wasn't a problem to me.

peoplething · December 21, 2011, 09:14:57 PM

this cat scene:

I haven't seen the movie, but this clip is all sorts of great.

just watched it a few times, I dig it when just starts flinging them across the dinning room. lol
