trick r treat- as pete said, one of the best horrors of the last 10 years and a complete breath of fresh air, total throw back to the 80's and not in an insulting way. this film has alot of charm, in a time when its all 'strap you to the chair and torture you for 2 hours' this has completely the opposite vibe.
8.5/10
the orphangae- another of the best horrors of the last 10 years, this is creepy gothic haunted house stuff and very good.
8/10
daybreakers- havent seen looks shite and generic, should have got 40 days of night instead if you were looking for a vampire film
Hmm, not bad. No expectations for this one because ole matty boy hasn't had a serious role since goddamn....Contact or some shit in 1996, but hey, like I said, not bad. Keeps your interest, and *spoilers* had no idea it was the mother at the end that killed his friend
Finally watched this. So ****ed up and hilarious at point. Overall it was very well done and Bale was great. Im still trying to sort out exactly what the **** happened with that giant killing spree. I lost it at the scene with the kitten tho lol.
8/10
i never did get those parts , i have to see this movie again.
you all need to get on this sorrentino guy, i posted about the first film of his that i saw "the consequences of love" this was possibly even better. such visula style, i mean staggeringly stylish. beautiful film making. im not sure who to even compare him to in the u.s. this guy has more flare than a young tarrentino! and this isnt non commercial film making either. his first english language film is opening at cannes right now. i guarantee you he blows up immediately and everyone is watching his films and loving them, i warned you first...as always.
9/10
Btw ukplayer4, I've just read a review on The Tree of Life by the best spanish film critic and he said things like "one of the best films I've ever seen" or "mesmerizing poetry in motion of incredible depth". Looking good, I trust that guys taste.
One of the most depressing films I have ever seen. When I told ppl this, I suppose they expected something sudden and tragic to happen but it just really was a very visceral look at fading love. Divorce is a cancerous epidemic and the notion that nothing really ever seems to REALLY last (love, in this instance, supposedly the answer to all life's problems) just really tore me up. The conversations between Gosling and Williams became uncomfortably REAL once it was clear she had fallen out of love with the complacent character of Dean.
I think those who take sides in a film like this is missing the nuanced complexity that unfolds when life will once again imitate this work of art. It's impossible to blame Cindy solely for the disconnnection and deteriorating bond of husband and wife. The music is great (specifically 'You and Me' by Penny and the Quarters) , acting hits home runs, specifically from Gosling. Appreciated the visual choices such as in the 'Future' room and throughout the flashbacks. This movie does a great job of portraying individual human fallacies in regards to building a life together SO WELL, that it made me uneasy. Doubt I would choose to view this more than one more time but it's a hell of an accomplishment as an earnest statement of lost affection

Really? I heard it didn't do that well at Cannes...
Tons of great interviews (especially Robert Irwin) and a great display of the growth of modern art in LA during the 50s/60s. It kind of epitomized the rebellious and chaotic image that I see when I think about California in American culture. I also liked how everything was shot in black and white (for the most part) except for the art.
Re: Rate the last movie you watched.
dont forget to post those reviews.
, i have to see this movie again.
