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...

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Nice style, great laughs (with always perfect timing). Absolutely recommended if you like animation movies.

Don't watch the trailer, it gives away 95% of the whole story... 
Too Late... 
 
Yeah 
I enjoyed that, lovely visuals and some good gags. 
Shutter Island 
loved this. saw roughly where it was going about halfway through but most of the 'sub-twists' i didn't get (ie. the explanations behind the details). i definitely want to see it again to pick up on stuff.

leo is getting to be one of my favourite actors. he's great in this, and in some ways i couldn't help comparing his character to cobb from inception... there are a few parallels and i think this film executes them slightly better.

in relation to a post by nitin a short while ago i'd probably even rate this as my fav scorsese film (although i haven't seen the aviator admittedly) 
Blood Diamond 
was a good movie 
So Was 
Critters 3 
He Was In Body Of Lies And The Beach Though... 
and they weren't.

(sorry, just wanted to give those films a kick, he's certainly been in some good stuff) 
I Didnt Like Shutter Island Much Actually 
in fact I'd take the above average Body of lies over it anyday :)

Shutter Island's plot (which admittedly comes straight from the book) just didnt sit well with me. 
 
I liked the time period. I liked the 'mood.' I did not like the 'twist' because it was something you could predict from the commercials. 
 
Watched The Expendables yesterday. Waste of time. 
 
Gobelins school of art and animation -> Annecy festival -> short films

Jean-Luc: Crazy, weird.
Le Royaume: Dark humour. Great! (Frenchos, what is the king saying/demanding?)
Smoke my Christmas: Ending ruined it. :(
Trois petits points: Cute and evil, historic.
I love you: Super creepy and disturbing. Didn't watch.
M. Eustache: Short but funny.
Soapy trip: Awesome!
Chaman: Beautiful.
Red river bay: Gorgeous!
Junk Space: Nice style.

Some are not safe for work.

fortunately i knew pretty much nothing about the film before seeing it, just went by a recommendation.. which probably helped. but even then the overall twist is made pretty obvious throughout the film; it's just the details that click together in a surprising way 
Teeth. 
Promising premise that had the potential to be weird, darkly humourous, and totally fucked up, but it just didn't capitalise on it. Because the premise is such a one trick pony, it needed a lot more atmosphere and clever set-ups to keep it gripping and freaking, but it didn't have that (apart from the brother's flashback maybe).

Dull and disappointing. 
 
Is that the one where a chick's vag has a snaggletooth or something? 
Rofl 
what 
Errr Yes. 
Don't see what the confusion is there, Daz?? 
Hmm 
Yeh. That films terrible. Only thing worse is Shrooms. 
Anyone Seen 
"The Killer Inside Me"? Recent film with the guy who plays the coward Robert Ford in that recent Brad Pitt movie. I thought that TKIM was a very well made and well acted film, and the lead character plays another scumbag who everyone is supposed to hate. And it has 2 A list hotties in it, who get their boobs out! :D But MY GOD this film is horrid. Really gritty and horrible. Some of th most harrowing death scenes I have ever seen. More disturbing than any of the SAW movies, but that is because it is excruciatingly realistic and un-glamorous. Watch it if you are feeling like a tough guy. 
Ricky 
its in my next order, but everyone seems to have the same reaction as you. 
 
teeth was terrible, but terrible in a good way if that makes any sense. it was still entertaining and quite comically fucked up; left me sitting cross-legged too :Z 
Walk The Line 
Loved this movie, cried all the way through. If you haven't seen it I recommend it. Amazing story! 
The Town 
proof that Gone Baby Gone was no fluke from Ben Affleck.

This isnt as good, its more of a genre crime drama, but what's here is skilfully executed, including the best car chase since Ronin.

7-7.5/10 
Back To The Future 
Watched the trilogy recently, def. up there with the Indiana Jones trilogy. Crystal Skull does not exist.

Anyhoo, total awesome 80s vibe, great action scenes, super fun flick overall. 
 
back to the future is one of those films (set of films...) that are still nearly as funny as when they originally came out.

still one of my favourites. 
 
Unfortunately I last saw them when I was a wee lad, and I didn't quite remember the whole "mom coming onto son" angle from the first film. Feel kinda bad that I thought it was a bit hot. =/
