Movies (recently seen)

I've had the inexplicable urge to see the movie Breakin' lately.

Actually, I know exactly why I want to see that movie...

Been a while since this thread got some attention so here it goes...

Saw the last Harry Potter movie, it was cool. I liked the battle scenes. Still would've been funny if J.K. really had made Neville the chosen one and No Nose was just fooled into thinking it was Harry the whole time (along with the readers/audience).

Also saw a movie called Black Death. I liked this one a lot. It's set in medieval times during the plague where a religious fanatic and his group are going around hunting down people that they believe are causing it.

Black death...never heard of it. Is it a foreign or straight to dvd movie or was it actually in theatres at some point? Sounds interesting though.

I recently went to the movies and saw "Super 8". Pretty good movie, I always enjoy young kids as main characters as long as they can act and luckily these kids can. Probably what I liked the most about this movie was the fact that they didn't show off the alien until almost the end. Fear of the unknown and unseen is always scarier in my opinion. HOWEVER, when they did show off the alien, I loved the look of it, should get its own spin off movie. "Super 8 alien does Dallas" or something, idk I just thought the thing looked badass.

Another movie I actually just viewed for the first time was Reservoir Dogs. I know its old but I had never seen it. GREAT FREAKING MOVIE. If you haven't seen it yet then rent it, download it, whatever you gotta do. I will not spoil anything but lets just say listening to the song "stuck in the middle with you" will never feel the same again.

I forgot to mention I saw Super 8 recently as well. Yeah it was a good movie I thought.

I saw Black Death on Netflix and I hadn't heard of it until I was scanning through stuff. Probably qualifies as foreign since it was a joint effort between England and Germany and probably only played in theaters over in Europe.

A quick visit to IMDB shows me it was on a whopping 3 screens in the US upon release and 56 screens in the UK... So, yeah, not really released here. Only enough of a release to make it qualify for certain awards and official listings here. The US release was also almost a year after the UK release, also not unusual for this kind of movie release here.

Found it on netflix. Excellent. Netflix has ruined normal television/video rental for me, probably forever. Love it. I would never even be aware of half the movies/shows I enjoy now because of it.

Anyone followed the 'Game of Thrones' TV series? Absolutely phenomenal television. Each season covers 1 book in the song of fire and ice series of books.

Agreed. The first season was an incredibly faithful adaptation.

Another movie I actually just viewed for the first time was Reservoir Dogs.

Pulp fiction was better.

[donteatpoop]

Pulp Fiction was an entirely different movie. Comparing them is pointless. Resevoir Dogs relies on one central plot point while Pulp Fiction has several intricately interwoven storylines.

Also, Game of Thrones rocks. The books are amazing and the series is great too. It stands well on its own, I think. New scenes were written for the series that were never read in the books, but they fit well and seem inspired and accurate to the feel of the books to do well. Excellent series.

I wasn't saying Pulp Fiction is objectively better (I could try to argue that, but I don't care that much), just that I enjoyed it more.

Just saw Hobo with a Shotgun. Pretty much what you'd expect. Over the top violence and a simplistic storyline. I still think Planet Terror was the best of the Grindhouse movies, but this one comes in second for me.

Anyway if you like these sorts of movies, then you should like this one.

Heard a lot of good things about Game of Thrones, I'll probably buy the first season when it comes out and watch it then.

Going back to what you said earlier, Locke:

I haven't had a real WTF moment since 1999, either.

As I've said before, Avatar and Tron were great. The eye candy factor was spot on. But there really weren't any plot twists that just made me get up off my seat.

And other such things. And stuff.

Also I think it's kind of a waste of time to compare pulp fiction and reservoir dogs. And stuff.

Well, it's nearly been 4 years since Nappi first created this thread to take the focus off the fact that Apoth was bragging about fucking Ves in every thread.

Or Nappi's words: "diddling"

Anyway, did anyone see any of the new super hero movies that came out? (Thor, Green Lantern, yet another X-men movie) The only one that's sort of catching my interest is the Captain America one which can't possibly be worse than the version that came out in 1990.

Not a super hero movie, but I definitely want to see Cowboys & Aliens next week.

[donteatpoop]

Cowboys & Aliens next week.

Hell yeah, Cowboys and Aliens is finally coming out. They've been making or talking about making that movie for like a decade or some shit. The comics were awesome, I'm hoping the movie doesn't tongue ass.
