Nymphomaniac - Pr0n 10/10 :p

I'm not an expert on Lars von Trier movies but i liked Melancholia and i thought this was okay too. Four hours for both volumes together but it doesn't drag too much. There are some funny moments in this otherwise serious drama, and of course quite a bit of adult content. Stacy Martin is very alluring as the young Joe. 7/10

Desolation of Smaug - I liked it, but i'll have to watch it again (a couple of times) before i can give my final verdict, but it's good.

Frozen - Never overhype a movie. Ever. I've read so much good stuff about Frozen all over the internet, and by some friends. I thought "well, this MUST be good!", so i play it, and queue the music! literally. Oh my god, the songs... this was my Vietnam. It would've been okay if i watched this movie with a daughter or something, but a 27 year old guy listening to a Disney princess sing for an hour is... quite painful. I felt like punshing a kitten after 15 min, just to feel like a man again. Not a single soul out there cared to mention that Frozen is a Disney musical, and then it hit me; every single person that has told me how great this movie is - is a girl, so that explains.. .a lot... Overhyped movie of the year.

The two things i liked was the snow, which looked amazing, and Olaf. That's it.

I just watched Filth, and I have 1 word for it.

Wow!

Take Bad Lieutenant, add Brazil and then for the finishing touch throw them both away and rewrite them.

James McAvoy really does do some great films and Filth, albeit as gritty as they come, really delivers. I can tell you there's a twist because even the writers of the film would have been surprised when they got to it.

Each to their own - not everyone will like it as it is extreme in what it does - but I loved it. There's a particularly awesome dream sequence type scene where a bunch of people are singing in a car. It's worth it just for that!

Really, really recommend it to people who like a bit of drama that forces you to step out of your comfort zone and think. If that's vaguely you, watch it.
[Off-topic] Dirk:

It's a very nice movie with good casting. I'm glad people are seeing it.

Did anyone watch the first episode of Silicon Valley yet? It's a HBO show created by Mike Judge, formerly of Beavis & Butthead fame. It's very techie and nerdy and i liked it a lot. It should really appeal to the xda crowd so give it a go if you missed it.

Meanwhile, Hannibal has been really strong in it's second season. If you're a fan of Hannibal Lecter fiction and you like grisly Horror, you will love this show. It's based off the book Red Dragon so it's the events that preceed Silence Of The Lambs. Mads Mikkelsen is every bit as good as Anthony Hopkins playing the ruthless and intelligent serial killer.

The penultimate season of Justified was really good. The finale was excellent. The next season is it's last and i'll be sad to see it go. It's never too late get into it though if you've never seen it before!

Also, Game Of Thrones is back. Awesome! :good:

Yep. That pretty much sums it up for me. It was only morbid curiosity that made me watch it anyway, so there was no disappointment, but I'd imagine it'll be like that for anyone that knows it before watching that version.

Yes, Josh Brolin was good (as good as the film allowed), but it would take a lot more than a great seasoned actor like him to fix that film. And the ending. That left me feeling violated.

If they do make another Goonies film, I want Josh Brolin to play Sloth. That would be something worth seeing!

Watched the Gangs of New York today.... and mann... what a flick! Another Scorsese gem! Beautifully shot, good dialogues, great screenplay, well made and above all... great performance by the cast. Deserves a 9/10.

Can Daniel Day-Lewis do anything wrong? What a character he had... such screen presence! How can one "act" so real! He is definitely in my top 10 villains of all time.

By the way what a coincidence that his character threw a knife on a portrait of the great Abe and he played Lincoln 10 years later. Another small coincidence is that it was Liam Neeson who was first selected to play Lincoln.

I've found that each time I watch that film I pick up something new (like how early on we see discrete earphones), but it also gets more and more boring. I *LOVE* time travel films, and there's only a few I've not watched, so it is right up my street, but give me 12 Monkeys any day!

Nothing to do with time travel now, but I watched The Machine last night. It was interesting and lived up to the trailers, but wasn't "Wow". It was nice to see Toby Stephens in a less annoying role than when he was in Die Another Day, and I'm always up for watching a hot girl playing a robot (the cyber-geek in me loves it!)

If you've got 90 minutes to spare and fancy something that will neither surprise or disappoint then go for it, but I don't think I'll be watching it again.

Slow start to the year! I'm still waiting for one or two new releases to become available to watch, so in the meantime here's an old one that i've just gotten around to seeing:

Fantastic Mr. Fox - Wasn't sure i'd like this based solely on the IMDb score and five minutes in i was wavering. By the end of the movie though i was gripped. Stop motion animation is obviously out of favour now but i still really enjoy it when it's done well, and although this is no Wallace and Gromit it's still pretty damn good. The main characters are voiced by George Clooney and Meryl Streep with others voiced by the likes of Willem Defoe and Bill Murray. Even Director Wes Anderson gets in on the act!

For those who aren't familiar with Wes Anderson's work, he's famous for symmetry in his movies and it's never clearer than when watching this. If you didn't know about it you would probably miss it, but in every scene the image is almost perfectly symmetrical! The story, characters and dialogue are all well done and my only critisism is that i wished it had been a bit longer than it's 80 minute run-time. Not as good as Moonrise Kingdom, but a solid 8/10.

Pompeii - Sword and Sandals disaster flick. It's Gladiator meets Dantes Peak, without being nearly as fun as that sounds. The sets and backdrops are awful in places and overall the movie looks awful. The audio sounds good though, with plenty of oomph during the action scenes.

The cast is a strange assortment of mostly TV actors, with the likes of Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who was in Oz and Lost, Carrie-Anne Moss, and a totally unconvincing Kiefer Sutherland. Personally, i was cheering for the volcano!

My advice is to skip to the final eruption scene at the end and enjoy the only five minutes of the movie that actually looks impressive. 5/10

I've been AWOL from this thread for a while, so it's time I contribute again, and what better way than with a public service announcement regarding The Devil's Due.

My wife subjected me to this movie last night. It was free, and I still want my money back. Don't do it. Just don't. It's like watching Rosemary's Baby while far too sedated to feel anything that even vaguely resembles suspense, fear, curiosity, etc. In fact, I'd suggest watching Rosemary's Baby while on a ton of benzodiazepines instead, because then at least you watched a movie with some merit.

The plot is predictable and not new ground. The acting is emotionless and robotic. It was clearly product of a formula, created to fill theater seats with people who are destined for regret.

I liked it. It was the first movie i ever saw Shia LaBeouf in, and David Morse is a favourite of mine so that was a bonus. It's been a long time since i saw it so it's going to get a re-watch soon i think.

Love it! I've mentioned it here before because i think it's something that people missed at the time and it deserves to be seen. It's probably my favourite Mel Gibson movie actually. It has a good support cast too and some really interesting characters. You summed it up nicely in your description!

Deliberately watching something that is a 3.9 on IMDb is essentially masochism. (Or sadism from your wife's perspective!) :eek:
