Van_Dammer Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) *brain explodes* I thought you'd disagree. Not too fond of Eli Roth, are you? Edited April 15, 2006 by Van_Dammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van_Dammer Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) I was in the mood for some world cinema, so I popped in Audition and Battle Royale. Both are classics and if you haven't seen them, watch them. Edited April 15, 2006 by Van_Dammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 16, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) If only everyone else in the world thought Grosse Point Blank was the greatest movie ever made.It's not that... it's just people calling Hostel "reminiscent of classic horror" and saying "the plot is developed well" is just so fucking wrong.And then going on to call King Kong a "tremendous film" .... gah!!!I know you hate Roth and Jacksons movies. I was just ribbing you because in any "greatest *insert whatever* in a film" thread you mention Grosse Point Blank. I think Blank is a great film, but your love for it slightly confuses me at times.

Mr. Seven Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 It's a much better film than Kong and Hostel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 16, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 Caught a couple this weekend.Hitch - I loved 90% of this. It's funny, it's cheesy, it's sharp, it's romantic. A great chick flick. Will Smith plays an incredibly likeable character who you warm to. Kevin James is awesome nad Eva Mendes is beautiful. It's an original script, witty and fantastically acted. The only thing I have a problem with is the sequence prior to the end, where Hitch tells Sara how he feels (after the speed date stuff). It's just so contrived and cliche in a really refreshing film. It's quite out of place, I think. Anyway, great watch, 8/10.Finding Neverland - I thought this was wonderful. The acting, the casting, the story. Magical stuff. Depp and Winslet are immense. I was in love with Radha Mitchell when I was 14. She's lovely. If you look at it, the film should be sad, but t never is. True Peter Pan stuff. Brilliant. 8/10.Off to watch Lost in Translation now.

Guest Ice Chiller Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I watched Hitch last night too. Pleasantly surprised, because I thought it was going to be rubbish. Good film, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van_Dammer Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) Today, I watched the following two films again; Â Akira This is a phenomenal Japanese anime that was certainly before its time. The film features a very interesting plot, great characters, fantastic action sequences and some incredible landscapes. It's edgy, especially in terms of the violence, and innovative. Â Rating: **** Â Spirited Away An absolute classic. The story, which concerns a young girl who wanders into a different world that is ruled by monsters and spirits, etc., is perfectly told. The characters are brilliant because, despite their peculiar appearances, they seem so real as they're given a great degree of personality. As with a lot of Asian cinema, there are some elements of the film that are left for the viewer to interpret, like the character No Face. I think Spirited Away is nothing short of a perfect film; it's truly a masterpiece. Â Rating: ***** Â On a side note, am I the only who enjoys watching foreign films with subtitles far more than versions that have been dubbed over? Â EDIT - I was forced into watching Just Friends. It's painfully unfunny and predictable, but I wasn't really expecting anything different. There was one positive, though, as Anna Faris' character is a complete slut. However, I'd still advise that you definitely give this film a miss. Â Rating: * Edited April 16, 2006 by Van_Dammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I don't mind dubbing on animation as there is so much to pay attention to, but on live action films, I can't stand dubbing.If Rick likes Lost In Translation I am going to have to write a megapost on why it, King Kong and Hostel are shit. I'm sure you're all thrilled at this prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_Dammer Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) I don't mind dubbing on animation as there is so much to pay attention to...I've seen Spirited Away with subtitles and in its dubbed form. I found that it was a totally different and much more enjoyable experience with subtiles. It just seemed to have a lot more depth to it...Believe it or not, I actually agree with you on something, though; Lost In Translation is indeed shit.

Although the dubbed version has some great actors, the original voices set a better tone for the film in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
