Can you explain Megan Fox's appeal?
Yes. She looks like a porn star and has the same acting talent as one, yet for some reason she makes mainstream movies. This tonal disconnect is what's so appealing about her.

+1

Watched it last night on BBC, really good.

A+

Whoever asked for an explanation of Megan Fox's appeal, GTFO.

She looks like a sex doll. They make sex dolls to look like the ideal woman.

Therefore oh never mind just forget it.

The art of Watchmen and why Scorsese hates women

No one asked about Megan Fox's sex appeal. It's just another funny bashing on why Transformers 2 sucks. I didn't see Transformers 2 or Spiderman 2 and found those both links hilarious. Definitely recommend.

GF, Aliens, T2, X2, Spidey 2(tobey one), Lethal Weapon II, what else am I missing?

Not many. For every one sequel that's as good as or better than the original there's 100 that are worse and normally much, much, much worse.

I'll add Toy Story 2 to your list above.

bourne ultimatum n supremacy were pretty elite.

in no particular order of greatness:

Police Academy 2
Empire Strikes Back
Wrath of Khan
The Raid 2

My brother and I just watched Under the Skin on a whim, neither of us having any notion about the movie.

Very quickly, I could tell this was an "art-house" style movie. Having seen many ambiguous and opaque films, I can say that UTS was particularily obscure. I felt bad because I encouraged my brother to stick with it (he despises slow movies), and yet by the end no mystery was solved. Nothing, in fact, had been knotted up at all.

That being said, I personally thought that many aspects were quite good-exquisite visuals, great soundtrack (that did not overstate itself), and the director must have been totally uncompromising in his vision. Its predator/prey theme (or plot?I don't know how to describe the actions of this movie) was doubly steeped in overt sexuality and unreliable exteriors.

Worth a watch, though my brother would disagree (he did concede ScarJo naked was pretty solid).

And there are even more that are worse.

Night of the Hunter

5/5



Superbly crafted movie directed by Charles Laughton, and it's a damn shame it was its only directorial effort. It looks great, with some very stylised scenes borrowing from German expressionism, and reminds me a lot of another film that similarly borrows, The Bride of Frankenstein (Laughton was actually married to the Bride, Elsa Lanchester!)

It's beautiful, constantly suprising, has one of the most imposing and scary performance ever put to film by Mitchum, and whilst he imposes, he meets his match in the upright, kind-hearted Ms Cooper.

The scene where they sing as she sits guard with a shotgun is one of cinema's greatest. And the children floating downriver through a fairytale depression America isn't far behind.

Ender's Game

Loved it. Of course, as a sci-fi buff, this is up my alley ; it had my attention from the beginning. It does have its limitations, but does not aspire to go beyond them.

8.4/10

Ender's game is my favorite book. I'd rate the movie similarly to you.

What it takes on from the book I felt it handled very well. The most negative thing I can say is that the movie didn't quite capture the loneliness of Ender or the fatigue he felt.

I really enjoyed that too, the kid reminded me of Tom Dwan so much and throughout the film where they talk about needing to be aggressive etc it made me think so even more.




Anyway I have come to this thread as last night I watched a film called Enemy, I loved the movie Prisoners and I'm a big fan of Jake Gyllenhaal so when I saw Enemy had the same director and also starred Gyllenhaal I watched it straight away.


It has left me completely confused though and was totally not what I was expecting at all. I'd love if anyone else who has watched it would give me their ideas of what went on?

This looks good..

:facepalm:

only 17 films in the last decade have earned 95% on RT and 8.0 on IMDB

Deservedly so, two of the Before films make the list.

Night of the Hunter is just superb.


Lounge: Other than Ronin and Bullit, what are the greatest car chase movies of all time?

French Connection

Yeah, I saw lots of similarity in between empathy and poker in the movie : how to get into someone's else mind, defeat them, yet feel compassionate for the victim... I agree that they did not portray enough his solitude and sadness that would of come out from it...

Have not seen Enemy yet, though I love what Denis Villeneuve has done thus far. Have you seen his early French Canadian movies? Movies like Polytechnique or August 32nd on Earth are HUGE, imo.

Vanishing point, maybe the end of Badlands?
