Film Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss films...

WTF 
 
Gone in 60 Seconds (the Nicolas Cage one)
Finally watched this yesterday. Could have been a AAA movie but some things are so crappy. The damn kids and their highschool teen movie "comedy". Fugly bug-infested Jolie. Too much luck events in the racing scenes (like that wrecking ball), come on, it's about the driving, don't let these things ultimately decide the actor's fate. The clichee plot twists.

But apart from that it is a very good movie with great acting and a decent (sometimes great) soundtrack.

Gotta get the old Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) now, I bet I'll like it even more. 
What? 
Nicolas Cage, great acting? This guy has only two movies with decent acting under his belt, and that's Lord of War and The Weather Man, and even in those he over- and underacts all the time. God damn.

And don't even mention Leaving Las Vegas. It's a good movie, yeah. And Elizabeth Shue delivers a great performance, which is then ruined by Nic Cage. Fucker. 
Oh And 
yo momma fat. 
Did You Watch Dubbed Versions? 
because i know i thought denzel washington was almost as bad as keanu reeves until i heard his real voice and what he did with it. 
Sleepy 
Adaptation surely? And to a lesser extent Bringing Out the Dead. But otherwise I'm with you.

And the old Gone in Sixty Seconds shits all over the new one (not that it's that great either but the car chases are better). 
Okay 
Adaptation was not bad, too. But generally I think that Cages acting style is not very versatile and only works in very few roles. That's why most of his films are shit - he is miscast.

megaman, I don't watch dubbed movies. 
Agree On That 
I tend to avoid most nic cage movies like the plague. 
Nicked 
I am even disappointed that he is voicing a character in the Astro Boy movie. O Tezuka! 
Raizing Arizona 
That was a good one for the 'Cage. 
Yeah 
didnt quite like that one but he was decent in it. 
Wild At Heart 
...was another good one. One of my faves.

But yeah, Cage can be bad sometimes. 
Thats On The To Watch List 
been trying to get the uncut version for ages :) 
Actually... 
There's a couple of different versions. The entirely uncut version (original Australian theatrical release) is almost impossible to find (opens with a scene of Sailor getting it on with Lula's mother in a toilet cubical). I have a Korean DVD that retains the bits of blood and violence that were cut to avoid a U.S. "X" rating. 
The Quiet Earth 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089869/

Interesting watch for sure. 
Yeah 
that's a good one. Aren't they redoing that too? 
Review. 
Inglorious Bastards

It's okay. Some classy bits, some crass bits, quite patchily put together. The orphanned girl's sections stole the show, some of the violence porn was tedious, the more subtle humour was good. It was a bit dumb and felt like it could have been put together a lot tighter, particularly bringing the two strands together towards the climax.

Rating: 867.54 - 880.9 / 1582.01 (+/- 13.2 accuracy)

nice review... nice ranking :P 
Did Just Read 
Nicolas Cage and great acting in the same post?!

i thought those two things were not compatible with each other 
Seeing IB Tomorrow 
looking forward to it.

Shambler, see District 9, good fun, should suit your taste too. 
Nitin. 
Yeah, it looks good, looks very heavy-handed with the apartheid metaphor but cool and different otherwise. 
Also. 
Anyone seen Paranormal Activity?? Was reading about it the other day, apparently it's actually quite scary. Not something that suits my taste but am curious... 
Shambler 
the (heavy handed) apartheid metaphor is pretty much ditched, or at least relegated to the background, after about 15-20 min.

From then on its pretty much your normal chase film, but a good one and with a south african accent :)
