Paid Members Au Posted March 18, 2009 Paid Members Posted March 18, 2009 Saw Watchmen, great film, a bit disgusting, great soundtrack (especially the first fight scene) but the Orchestral score just annoyed me. It made it seme really shit and attempting to be epic and then they play some Jimi Hendrix or Simon and Garfunkel. Plus I sat right under a speaker and it just ruined the movie for me, wish they'd stuck to the soundtrack of awesome music You've read the other posts of people hating the soundtrack but loving the score, right?

Doesn't mean other people are right. Afterall the film just uses the songs referenced in the book, which is apparently the greatest thing ever.

Afterall the film just uses the songs referenced in the book, which is apparently the greatest thing ever. I think I was the first one to actually mention that so you can't use it against me Although I never said it was the best thing ever, just that it justified the use of some of the more seemingly hamfisted choices. If I'm honest, I thought most of the musical cues were alright but there were of course some pretty choices in there too. He's completely wrong about the score though, it's all sorts of awesome.
Tequila_Boy Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I'm sure if it was just the score on it's own I would of enjoyed it, but mixing between the two annoyed me and made the score seem lousy and an attempt at epic rather than epic.
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted March 18, 2009 Paid Members Posted March 18, 2009 Watched one called Brooklyn Rules the other day and thought it was pretty entertaining. Freddy Prinze Jr., Alec Baldwin, Scott Caan and Jay Ferrara can't really go wrong. Yeah man, stellar cast. What's ya problem with Alec Baldwin?
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 18, 2009 Paid Members Posted March 18, 2009 Saw Gran Torino last week, its a great film. It came accross as a great commentary on modern day family and social values. Echoes of 'Dirty Harry' too Is it Clint laying down some vigilante justice in his neighbourhood? I quite fancy that film. then you will like! I'm going to see Bronson today i saw Bronson monday, it's very stange. Nothing like was expecting, the narrative/flashback thing...i didn't really like that element of the movie (especially the onstage stuff), but i found the actual flashbacks to be great, Tom Hardy's performance is memorable and very intense. I found the film very funny too, fucked up, but funny.

I found the film very funny too, fucked up, but funny. I liked it alot. It reminded me of a Stanley Kubrick movie, like with the classical music over the violence. i particularly liked the use of the Pet Shop Boys 'It's A Sin' during the mental hospital's disco. And i liked the on-stage element, it was just something a little bit different.
corino_mark Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 watched strange wildnerness with Steven Zahn the other day, that was shit and also watched My Best Friends Girl with Dane Cook and Jason Biggs which was not bad

It's definatly a movie i'll watch again though. I was expecting a straight forward uk crime flick. I avoided all the press before seeing it, which ive since read and it lets you know that that's the kind of movie your gonna get. I think it'll split audiences straight down the middle.
Dean Saliba Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I watched Death Note a couple of weeks ago on the suggestion of someone. I did not think I'd like manga films but I really enjoyed it. She has suggested Ghost In The Shell as a good one.
corino_mark Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 watched high school high with john lovetz in last night, pile of steamy shit it was indeed

She has suggested Ghost In The Shell as a good one. Ghost In The Shell is a good film, but its a real slow burner. If your looking for good anime, you can't go wrong with any of the following: Spirited Away Grave Of The Fireflies (highest recomendation) My Neighbour Totoro Princess Mononooke Persepolis
Steveo2007 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 The original Time Machine movie. Thought it was really good. The special effects for the time were brilliant and strongly represented the paranoia of that time about where humanity was going.
GalaxyV.2 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 The orig. Time Machine remains one of my favourite films of all time, I don't know why really, just watching this as a kid it had me absolutley captivated.
