+1. Saw it 2 days ago and wasn't impressed. Movie was too long IMO and the best parts were when Stark was fighting without the armor. Also Rebecca Hall is way hotter than Paltrow :p Although her part in the movie sucked, the movie might have been better without it.

I just watched the recent remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street and was pleasantly surprised by it. It holds true to the original and is a decent horror flick. If I'd never seen the original then I'd be looking to get hold of them now.

If you like the original, or if you like horror in general then it's a decent film. Give it a go.

It's really not a complicated movie, but i don't think most people know exactly what the plot is when they sit down, and then... they get very confused. The keyword here is "layers".

And i agree, it's a fantastic movie.

I'm in the mood for some sci-fi or.. i have no idea how to explain this, but take Forrest Gump and Benjamin Button. These two movies are the type of movies where the plot spans over several decades (i know, i'm not good at this), and i would like to watch more movies like these. They tend to be nearly, or over 3 hours long.

Any suggestions? :p

I watched "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" a while ago and today recommended one of my friend to watch them.

And I was just stumbling on net and found that a new part is released yesterday. :eek:

Before Midnight

If anyone haven't seen the above two movies, go watch them. Especially if you're in mood of some different type of romantic movie.:o
[Off-topic] roofrider:
Where is that Julie Delpy fan hiding? I'm sure he has seen both though.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Lool, this is soooo weird. I heard about Before Midnight on a Movie Podcast this week and found out about the first two parts while i was doing some IMDb research about it. When i saw that Julie Delpy was in the films i was sold on them! Watched Before Sunrise Thursday, and was just about to start watching Before Sunset as soon as i had posted here about another movie that i just finished! :eek:

The first part really grew on me as the film went on. Julie Delpy i took to immediately, but i never really liked Ethan Hawkes character. I kept thinking she deserves better. Regardless, as the movie is only the two characters it took good acting to make it entertaining. And it is an entertaining movie.

The movie i just finished watching was I Am Bruce Lee. A really good Biopic about the legend, with interviews including family members and others that were influenced by the great man. Lot's of great archive footage included too.

Now, onto Before Sunset.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Before Sunset was brief but entrancing. After five minutes i'm hanging on Celine's every word, spell-bound by the dialogue. Those long, single take, walk-and-talk scenes feel really natural and organic, and there's an awkwardness and honesty between the characters that make their interactions much more believable. Ethan Hawke's character felt more mature this time, less of a jerk that he seemed in the first movie.

The ending seemed sudden and it was deliberately ambiguous. We're left to decide for ourselves if they get the happy ending. As Jesse said when asked about the book ending and whether the lovers meet up after all, he answers that it depends on the personality of the reader. If he's romantic, then yes they do but if he's a cynic, then no, they don't. Now that i know that there will be a third part, i'm not even going to think about it. I'll wait to watch Before Midnight and find out then!
[Off-topic] nishanty13:
I actually had no idea that there would be any third part. It was just a coincidence that I found about the 3rd part and when I found it's released yesterday only, I was much more interested to watch it because of the ambiguous ending of second.

Both the movies were good, entertaining and original and I hope this part don't disappoints me in the end.

Dirk, I finally found a Tarantino film that I think is good :)

After looking into a disk space issue on one of my clients' file servers, I discovered one user had 9GB of holiday photos, and several movies which I removed from the network ;)

The first I watched was Looper, I thought it was really good, I liked how they drew attention to the obvious plot issues that come with time travel and paradoxes by saying it's best not to talk about it otherwise 4 hours will go by, you'll get a splitting headache and will resort to making diagrams with straws :D

Then on the way home I watched some Django Unchained (up to where Django is "intriguing" Mr Candy) and I've been really enjoying it.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
That's exactly what i do. I enjoyed Looper, but i couldn't ignore the huge time travel errors. The only movies i accept regarding these things are the Back To The Future movies.

One huge hole in Looper: The "dude" (can't remember his name) gets his older self sent back to the past so his younger self will kill him. He escapes. Then, his younger self gets caught and tortured, so his older self starts to lose limbs and what not. Now wait.. If his younger self was killed, then the older version wouldn't exist.

That's only one error (depending on the laws of time traveling, since we have a couple like; linear deterministic time travel and the alternative line.)

And let's not ask ourselves why the "mob" didn't just send them into the future. The mob in the present time aren't in the future, so they are safe until then. IF they are caught in the future, they'll have a time machine, so they could easily change the future since they are in the past and know all about the future. BUT, it's really not that easy. Will their actions in the past (present) affect the future now as they know how the future will look like? Or will they change the future since they now know how the future looks like, and therefore change one simple thing? But how do they know how that tiny change will affect the future? Will they end up in the alternative future #1 or #2?

Time travel is hard and (currently) impossible, and my head hurts.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
They didn't actually kill the "dude" but just hacked bits off him and disfigured his face.

Of course the paradox then is, 30 years in the future when they decide it's his time to die and send him back to the "present" he'd be unable to run away or even sing that identifying song, so he'd be shot, and therefore the loop would be closed so the "dude" wouldn't have failed, wouldn't have been hacked up...

Time travel is one directional, when we're told about the crime boss who was sent back to set everything up Joe mentions it was a one way trip.

So 30+ years into the future they catch their target, they send back a note saying when and where their target is going to appear, then they send their target back to be shot by the appropriate killer who then disposes of the body.

Bruce explains how time changes his past quite well. He's got the clear memories of the specific life he's lived, but he also has all the memories of the lives he could have lived except they're fuzzy.

When young Joe does something, that solidifies which temporal route he's going down up to that point and so Bruce gets those memories clearly.

If Joe does something different to what Bruce did in his past, then Bruce's memories become fuzzy and he gets clear ones which match what Joe did.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Joe can't do anything different than Bruce did in the past, since Joe is Bruce. So whatever Joe does in the present (past) will push him to the future Bruce - in "theory". If Joe and Bruce have two different lives, past, present and future, they aren't the same person.

If i went back to 1990 to meet myself and talk to myself, trying to change the past, it wouldn't change anything. Forward to the present me that got affected by the future me in the past would still be me, and the present me would still go back to the past again to talk to the past me in 1990, and so the circle continues. It's the same thing with Back To The Future. Remember in the beginning when Marty jumps into the Delorean and travels to 1955, and then gets back to 1985, only to see himself down at the parking lot jumping into the Delorean (again)? The movie ends there, but we know that the Marty v2 that jumped into the Delorean at the end of the movie traveled to 1955, like the Marty before him, and he will also end up again in 1985, only to see another Marty do exactly the same thing, over and over again :p

My god this is confusing :p I need more beer!
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
Pretty convenient solution to this "dilemma".
[Off-topic] xaccers:
It makes it clear in the film that people's futures aren't set in stone.

In Bruce's history, when he was Joe he shot Bruce, retired and went on a binge until he met his wife. He then thwarted the Gat men and went back in time to stop the person ordering all the loops to be closed and over powered Joe.

This changed Joe's path through time, which in turn changed Bruce's history.

Think of it as a selective relative time correction with future effect but no future causality. Don't worry, it still leaves a plot hole at the end.

If we go back to the "dude" and the "old dude" I'll try to explain.

Old dude comes back and escapes by running away. This happens in the dude's timeline and therefore can't be changed.

Then dude loses a few body parts. Old dude gets changed to fit that physical change. So how was he able to run away after being shot if he has no face/legs/arms etc? The fact is, at that time he still had them because the future without them hadn't been selected by everyone's actions then.

It's only until a difference actually takes place that it has an effect.

So as he arrived when the dude had yet to lose body parts, and ran around, that remains what happened.

Now the plot hole is at the end, when Joe realises what he has to do and does it. Bruce should have just fallen down dead but instead he vanishes.

And now my head hurts.
