I don't think you understood Cabin In The Woods. The "gods" are us, the audience, and they need to satisfy us by showing boobs, blood and cool monsters. We get what we want. The director, Drew Goddard confirmed this.

I just watched "Sound Of My Voice".

Still working through the top 250 this weekend, but nothing i watched really grabbed me. Cool Hand Luke was probably the best of the ones i saw. I'd rate that 8/10. Laughed my ass off during the scene where he eats fifty boiled eggs!

Edit: Also this quote...

"What we got here, is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it...well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men"

Obviously the intro to Civil War by Guns N' Roses, but now i finally know where it came from. I did always wonder!

[Off-topic] xaccers:
My friend who's a huge blue emo penis fan, sorry, huge Watchmen comic fan really enjoyed it.

I was bored by it, even the bits without BEP, I felt there were few bits of action and frankly the Watchmen weren't that likable (don't think they're meant to be).

I don't know, it's one of Alan Moore's babies, and adaptations of his work seem to be hit and miss (normally a hit if they divert from his ideas - V for Vendetta, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, Constantine).

V for instance is one of the few films that I believe were much better than the book.

Watchmen struck me as one of those you'll either really like or think "meh" about.

Worth seeing if only to find out what you think of it.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Just keep in mind that Watchmen isn't you typical kids super hero movies like Spiderman and Iron Man. It's much darker and i understand that some people think it's boring, but it's not your typical super-action movie. It's a Sci-fi/Action/Drama movie, so keep that in mind. If you don't like "slow" movies, then just skip it.

The bank Job on tv tonight (Statham)...bloody great British movie...

I'm late to this one, but I think they 2 sequels were still good films and no where near as bad as made out to be.

The first was simply mind blowing, especially at that time...it's still such an original, flawless movie IMO.

Though I remember seeing the second one at the cinema when it was released, and thought it was so slow to get into it. But watching them again now, I think they're great.

And I've found quite a few of the movie locations throughout Sydney too.

When I get time I'm going to do something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adactio/sets/72157594317693606/ :cool:

Silent Hill 2 - what a pile of old wank that was.

Sean Bean should have been killed just for his accent.

To make matters worse it cost me £11 as it was the 3D/DBox showing (seats the vibrate and wobble with no correspondence to what's happening on the screen).

Thankfully you can turn that rubbish off, but then you're left with an uncomfortable chair. My backside was so dead by the end of the film and my will to live wasn't far behind.

Seriously, if the chair was comfortable I'd have fallen asleep.

Danielle enjoyed it though.

"Based on a true story. After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life."

Since i was last here i've watched In The Name Of The Father which was good. A stellar performance by Daniel Day-Lewis as always.

Also, Let The Right One In . A slow burning Vampire flick from Sweden. If you like the genre, forget that it's a foreign language film and just watch it. It put me in mind of Salem's Lot, albeit the Vampire this time is an eternally young, twelve year old girl. Well worth a watch.

Has anybody here seen IP Man? I'm watching it at the moment and loving it!

"A semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the first martial arts master to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun."

"In 1935 in Foshan, south China, there are martial arts schools on every street corner. Ip Man is the undisputed martial arts champion, yet he has not devoted himself to teaching. Despite this, it seems that all the kung fu masters of the city are eager to fight him to improve their reputation."

"Mentor of iconic legend Bruce Lee."

So far the martial arts action has been wildly entertaining. Fans of the genre would love it!
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:

...she may have befriended hundreds of boys her age in her life, all of which grow up to be like the man she was with at the start of the movie?

I tried to watch Brave last week. I turned it off after 10 minutes. I tried again a couple of days later, turned it off 15 minutes in. Tried again the day after, turned it off 20 minutes in.

I have no idea why i can't watch it.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Some further research uncovers..

From the Author.. "what is hinted at in the Swedish film is in the U.S. now crystal clear. Håkan has been with Eli since he was a boy in Oskar's age. Thus, it is not hard to figure out the fate that awaits Oskar.

Do not misunderstand me. I think it's an entirely reasonable end, a gorgeous interpretation of history and deliberately open-ended as I left the book. But it's not my end."

In Let The Old Dreams Die, Oskar becomes a Vampire himself and their relationship is revealed to be a true love story...which appears to be what the author intended all along.

So good news, although it still begs the question...

How many previous helpers has she been in love with and lost along the way?

I should really get the books to read. It's rare for a movie to have such a profound impact as this one. Kudos to the Author, film makers and especially the child actors who played the roles so well!

Caught up with some Nolan movies ...

Insomnia - Pretty decent thriller from Nolan, and good to see Robin Williams in a variety role. Great locations and photography too. Rating: 8/10

The Prestige - A very very unpredictable movie, full of twists and suspense. Really liked the plot of two rival magicians who compete themselves to prove worthier, and one would do anything to steal the show from another. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale delivered some exceptional performances. The climax of the movie, is one of those you'd never think of, and hints based on it is shown at many sequences, you'd fail to recognize. Truly a Nolan masterpiece. Rating: 10/10

Following - Its okay compared to other Nolan films, but definitely not on top of the list. Rating: 7/10
