Guest DJM Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Are any of Michael Haneke's movies any good? (other than Hidden and Funny Games which I have already seen and despite some great reviews I didn't think much of) Edited April 16, 2007 by DJM
stylesclash05 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Little Miss Sunshine Wht a great film. Fucking great fun and really a light hearted film that left you on a high. Great stuff.
CaptainCharisma Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Along Came Polly I'm a sucker for a Ben Stiller comedy, and in this film he does his usual schtick with some extra rom-com moments. Plus Jennifer Aniston looking smoking hot and doing her best Ben Stiller impression throughout! Quite a funny film as a whole. Who knew that Chief Wiggum worked out eh.

Mr. Seven Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Try watching Martin Lawrence movies instead. If you didn't think much of Hidden and Funny Games, there's not much hope for you.
WildSybianRider Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 "Are you working on film studies coursework at the moment?" indeed, a lot of reviews from that guy read like a first year film student. And a none-too-bright one at that.Shyamalan is a glorified hack.anyway, I watched Pan's Labyrinth again this week. It really is lovely.I finally managed to see DogDay Afternoon, too. Really enjoyed it. blah blah blah counter-culture blah doesn't hold itself back blah blah thought-provoking yadda yadda multi-layered blah blah
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted April 30, 2007 Paid Members Posted April 30, 2007 Finally watched The Entity, after spending a lot of my young years trying not to let my Mum catch me ogling the naked breast on the video cover when we used to go down to Cassells (local video rental).It's not all that bad. It's very eighties, but not in a naff dated looking way. It was interesting seeing acted out the scene where the parapsychology students photograph her on the bed, as I've seen one of the photo's of the actual Carla Moran in that situation.Nicely creepy and menacing, but not ruined by some dodgy stop-motion monster or man in a rubber suit.
Parkamarka Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Saw Fast Food Nation the other day. I'm a Richard Linklater fan, and I like that he tries all sorts of different stuff, but he's struck out a couple of times over his career. This was one of them. It wasn't bad, it was just a bit unnecessary. Taking down the fast food industry in 2007 is like shooting fish in a barrell, and some of the cod-politics on display here were pretty cringeworthy. It's also pretty hard to get behind a group of activist characters led by Avril Frickin Lavigne. Worth checking out if you're genuinely unaware of the questionable ethics of the fast food industry, but otherwise a bit of a letdown. Edited April 30, 2007 by Parkamarka

DJ Stevie C Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 HmmmI'm quite dissapointed. Bought the Jackass 2 DVD, enjoyed it thoroughly, watched all the extras which were great. But then to my dismay realised there's NO Don Vito. Now I realise the guy is going through some shit from some gold diggers in the states but seriously!Are they hidden? Or just completely removed never to be seen (Which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard)?
Stevies Left Nad Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 All of Vito's scenes have been completely removed.Hopefully they'll be included on a release in the future, but theres no official word on it.
ultimo the great Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I also recently watched John Woo classic Once A Thief which was a whole lot fun and also shows how wasted he is in hollywood
Gossy Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Saw Fracture in the flicks today, didn't really know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Stars Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling (who i'd never even heard of) and to avoid the risk of giving away large chunks of the film, it's a game of 'cat and mouse' as Hopkins is jailed for shooting his wife and Gosling (the lawyer) has to try and prove Hopkins guilt (and avoid losing everything, including his own sense of what's right and wrong). I loved the face-offs between Hopkins and Gosling and any scene which didn't feature Hopkins, to me was lacking, he was that enjoyable here. A really original script which had a lot of twists and turns and Hopkins seemed to relish the character he was given (which certainly had glimpses of Hannibal Lecter). The inital court scene is surprisingly, really funny, which was unexpected from the tone of the film. Would highly recommend this film. Edited May 1, 2007 by Gossy
