The Purge

Starring Ethan Hawke.
Just watched about an hour ago. It's brutally real, just like a mirror. My wife got a little sad after watching.

Yeah Antichrist is really good but I found Melancholia to be a snoozefest. The main character is horrid and actually a bit unrealistic. Nice visuals but those and Lars' name are all that carried it.
But his next film Nymphomaniac really took the cake. That's a terrible film. Seems like just a bunch of sex scenes trying to top one another to shock the viewer. It had great potential. I won't ever be able to look at Charlotte Gainsbourg in the same light again after seeing her in so many grotesque sex scenes.
A Serbian Film is great. Though, sadly, if you want more gore/torture/shock horror you've already seen the best one. The rest mostly don't even have a plot.
Sorry
Antichrist .. pah. My ex-gf made me watch it trying to psyche me out maybe, laugh. Pretty ordinary. Weak plot and just dollars for the shock-value.
Mad Max was a slick thrill, but with a decent plot it would have been ace. Charlize in particular was woefully boring/underused. Loved the costumes, that guitar guy. Better than the others but obviously i'm not a fan.
More PK Dick and Clarke movies ? Yay.
I seen a couple of old great chinese martial arts. If you have the time , take in Bruce Lee's average but classic Fist of Fury first, but the sequel Legend of the Fist is great period stuff. Another great martial-arts with a good plot is Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame.
Watching Miyazaki over christmas for a bit of a chillout :)

Yeah I just watched Spirited Away last night actually. Not as good as I was expecting, certainly not as good as Princess Mononoke, just a little weird with odd scenes that drag on a long time and then it's finished. Good but just not the 31st best movie of all time.
Nope.

Should be higher than 31st.
Grave Of The Fireflies
Is the best animated film of all time IMO

Mad Max Fury Road was the best film of 2015.
Yup.

Apart from being just behind The Martian and Ex Machina, of course.

I watched Fury Road, the first part any way. There were lots of cars zooming around and people apparently trying to kill each other. I had no idea of the importance of anything, or why I should care about what was happening. I guess I'm stupid, I just didn't get it. After about an hour, I shut it off. Never was much of a Mad Max fan anyway. At least the color was pretty good, no serious white balance issues like so many recent movies.

are you pretending that color grading is a "white balance issue" because you don't like it or do you actually think color graded movies are just poorly exposed?
#5681 posted by Rick on 2016/01/03 09:29:12
I don't know what "color graded" is. I will check.
What I mean is that a lot of modern movies have a distinct blueish-green cast, as if the entire film was shot under fluorescent light while others are fine. The lack of neutral grays is usually obvious.

Fury Road is a Mad Max chase scene with continuous action and explosions and amazeballs visuals.
If you meant in looking for a deep story, you went to the wrong movie.

I saw Fury Road drunk in a cinema with 3D glasses. It was the right movie.

I could imagine mad max would be very confusing if you turned up a few minutes late and assumed that the stuff you missed had explained what was going on.

This enchanting movie is about the "russian soul", about being russian. Try to see the full extended version. Try not to fall in love to Russia as well.

Thought this was pretty awful, and surprised to find it had some good reviews although I agree with this one: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/aug/11/the-man-from-uncle-review-style-paired-with-deathly-boring-substance
I think they made a mistake casting two planks of wood as the male leads...
I really enjoyed it. So ner!

Too bad, it's rare that an action movie pay as much attention as Fury Road to its internal consistency and believability (cough jj abrams cough)

He says he was misquoted in the Guardian article. He has stories for two more movies. What he was saying is that his next movie is not a Mad Max one.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Japan, 1983). David Bowie is a pretty awesome role:
