Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 17, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 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 fell asleep just after the strip club scene. Up to that point, it was boring but intriguing. Actually, the only thing that was intriguing was why she always sat around in her knickers?This will sound ridiculous, but I couldn't help but think that famous movie star Bill Murray didn't look credible playing a famous movie star!

bAzTNM Fan Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I just watched "Infernal Affairs", great movie. A bit confusing to follow in the first half an hour or so, but after that, it becomes really enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted April 17, 2006 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 I saw Lost In Translation on a plane flight and I fell asleep too. Never has a comedy seemed so devoid of any humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJM Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Fans of Lost in Translation will probably tell you it is meant to be one of the "Intelligent Comedies", where if you don't get it or don't find it funny then you are not intelligent enough to understand...Personally I found it boring, uninteresting, and unfunny for the most part.(Anyone seen Broken Flowers? Much the same as Lost in Translation really) Edited April 17, 2006 by DJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dan Fears Satan Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 On easter Sunday I saw....King Kong - Terrible, long boring, self indulgent, average effects (when they are magically running inbetween the dinasours legs very comical, can't believe it made it to the final film), average acting (they really didn't have to do a lot did they?), directing is embaressingly bad for the budget (whats with the slow motion????????) and the plot is hideos. Hard to draw up any positives, the boat effects where good. So glad I didn't go to the cinema to see this, I would of walked out. *The Constant Gardner - Excellent, Very important and very emotional. One of the highlights is how the director filmed africa and its people like a documentary, you feel part of the action. Superb performances and great plot. **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokmad Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) I saw Raging Bull on Saturday. I really don't see the big deal about this at all. Overrated and boring. Edited April 17, 2006 by lokmad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie420 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 few rentals yesterday... Â boy eats girl- teen zombie flick set in ireland.. some funny moments and some cool gore but nothin too special here. samamtha mumba stars along side others.3/5 Â cry wolf- a fairly enjoyable watch although i felt the lead dudes acting sucked a cock however i thought lindy booth gave a great performance as dodger, plus shes lookin mighty fine in this so id say its worth checking out for her alone. 3/5 Â hoboken hollow- Based on the true story of the texas "slave ranch" this fairly brutal film tells the story of a few drifters/hitch hikers who are promised work, food and a bed at a ranch in texas. however unfortuantly for the drifters this particular ranch is owned by a twisted family of cannibalistic hillbillys. includes small roles by dennis hopper and michael madsen. 4/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie420 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I saw Hostel last night.Eli Roth definitely seems to be an aqquired taste. You either love him or hate him. I love him. I really enjoyed this movie, a great unique and fucked up concept and great delivery.totally agree with you man, im fucking loving eli roths work so far cabin fever + hostel are two of my favourite movies ever. i love the way the man can make me laugh like fuck then grose me the fuck out and have me sat on the edge of my seat in suspense all in one film. i also find the winks at legendary films such as the texas chainsaw massacre ass shot in cabin fever to be very cool.

Van_Dammer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) I'll keep these reviews short.... Â Scary Movie 4 There are a couple of really funny moments, but this film is quite poor overall. It's badly shot, there are some missed opportunities for satire and certain characters could have been used more effectively. Nonetheless, I'm a huge fan of Leslie Nielsen and enjoyed his few segments. Plus, Anna Faris is a nice piece of eye candy... Â Ichi The Killer A friend of mine downloaded this and gave me a copy. However, it was fucking dubbed! Approximately 90% of the cast had British accents and even an idiolect that comprised of words like 'wanker.' Regardless, the film itself was awesome. Â OldBoy Holy fuck, what a film. It's brilliant in terms of symbolism, direction, cinematography, and acting. There are many memorable scenes that certainly leave an impression, such as the exceptional corridor fight. OldBoy is definitely a twisted film, which features some extreme violence and is intriguingly ambigious in places.

Much the same as Lost in Translation really)Lost In Translation isn't a comedy.It is always billed as a comedic drama, so you would assume there is meant to be comedy somewhere!Scary Movie 4A good film - funny throughout, but also hit-and-miss at times as well(Carmen Electra's character for one was very hit-and-miss). The Oprah spoof at the end was very unfunny, and it felt like (and was) a short film, but otherwise it wasn't a bad film. Better than Scary Movie 2, about on-par with the third film, and The Village and War of the Worlds spoofs were actually more entertaining than the films they were spoofing!(***) Edited April 17, 2006 by DJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 There's elements of comedy certainly, but it's supposed to be a deep, soul searching and meaningful drama, but it's actually Sofia Coppola's angst-ridden diary acted out on screen to pretentious and disgusting effect.
