Good Looking Flick

Looks really good! I'm not much of a ballet guy, but, i am a creepy/thriller movie guy and this looks like a winner... Looks like its on par with Requiem, and that was a crazy movie!

Requiem, the German exorcism flick?

Requiem for a Dream

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1200619801/

Great movie... but it felt like you left a family members funeral after you were done... epic movie tho

OK.... thought you were talking about Requiem for a Dream and first, but when you said creepy/thriller.... had me second guessing on the exorcism flick.

House of Fog and Sand.... good movie, but falls into train wreck movie that leaves you emotionally drained.... 1/3 of the way in you know there isn't going to be a happy ending for anyone.

Revenge with Kevin Costner and Anthony Quinn almost falls into that category. Not quite as desolate, but you know from the get-go that no one is going to get inspired to do any Hallmark cards.

Closet Land... an absolute tour-de-force... definitely not a Hallmark movie either, but a testament to acting skills when a movie has a cast of two and still blows you away. Would love to find this on DVD.

hello netflix!
Gracias meng!

correction for ya tho
House of Sand and Fog

I can only keep so many movie titles in my head before I start transposing stuff.

I am still waaaaaay better than my girlfriend who would bring strangers over to me in the Best Buy when they were looking for a movie, but couldn't remember the title.

Footnote: Blockbuster used to have a physical limit on the number of movies they would rent to you in a 24 hour period. It's like they thought people slept. :o Bbbbastards.

The response was of course found in a movie title: :rolleyes:

If your into balletic violence, highly underrated movie...



ATB,
Sam

P.S. Yes, I am sucker for movies with overly sentimental puppy scenes. :embarrased:

I really liked Equilibrium, some nice fight scenes and interesting concepts

indigo_wolf - 25-9-2010 at 07:49 AM

That's pretty much the same reasons why I am keeping my eye out for Priest (but that won't be out until May 2011 :no: ).

Paul Bettany and Maggie Q as warrior priests :o :thumbup:

equilibrium is good! It's been in my movie stash for some years now! a lot of people say a good chunk of the matrix was taken from this movie... which is odd because it came out in 02, and iirc matrix 1 was '99... good flick tho!

I haven't seen Equlibrium but will, looks kind of like Aeon Flux or Ultra Violet. Check out Children of Men, similar idea behind the it.

I wasn't a big fan of Requiem after the whole baby thing, that pissed me off.

Revolver, quite a mind bending movie, Guy Ritchie makes some really great movies.

highazakite - 27-9-2010 at 05:53 PM

i second lock stock and 2 smoking barrels, and if ya dig that try out snatch,, rock and roller, aaaand another vote for Revolver (ya have to watch it a couple of times and do watch the extra features)..
requiem was a lil tripped out but interesting.

acartier1981 - 28-9-2010 at 02:59 PM

Don't forget who did the new Sherlock Holmes.

baby thing??
---i bet you are thinking of trainspotting
with the smack users forgetting their baby, the resulting death, and of course the same baby crawling over the ceiling and attacking the "coming-off-heroin-the-hard-way-guy"

Trainspotting was good... but once again, not another family movie!

That Lou Reed song, "perfect day" (or something close to that) is prolly my favorite part of that movie :lol:
That and the line following his bb gun shot in the park!
Rofl material indeed!

acartier1981 - 28-9-2010 at 08:14 PM

Oh snap that's right, now I have to watch requiem again, lol.

Till then, new season of Dexter started :roll:
