Re: Star Wars - Order to watch?

Watch the Christmas special haha. I had a friend who had not seen any of the series, and watched them in order of number: 1 - 6. Apparently the Prequels sucked less and the series left on a much better note. I'll take her word for it. But since you've started with 4, keep going to 6 and jump to 3. ...

Re: Most disturbing movies you've ever seen

All my buddy had to do was explain the premise of "The Human Centipede" and I was bothered by it for days , it still messes with me sometimes. I doubt even watching it would mess with me as much as what my own mental imagery has done and it might actually put a silly face on the horrors t...

Re: Hausu

Yes, it's amazing. One of most enjoyable movies I've seen. Criterion is also including Obayashi's best short, "Emotion", which is a superb bonus. Yes, this movie is nothing short of the greatest mind-f&*k I've yet experienced watching a movie. Will make great rewatch material. I saw t...

Re: Your favorite film.

Pretty cool idea, OP. I added mine (Dr. Strangelove!)

Now this lit a fire under me to see Buffalo '66.

Re: How often do you write Mini-Reviews?

Funny, because I too this last month have been going back into my rankings and putting a mini-review where there aren't any. When I first joined (2007) I just added numerical reviews. Now whenever I see a new film I write a mini-review to keep track of my first impressions, or if I rewatch, I'll rev...

Re: Actors You Hate

Ellen Page. So so much. Funny; you recently watched "Hard Candy", the same film that made me hate her as much as any actress around. It was a piss-poor script, sure, but her over-the-top, absurd line delivery was one of the worst and most irritating performances I have ever seen. Her perf...

Re: 100 worst films of 2008 (???)

Yeah, while I wasn't crazy about Redbelt, the assertion that a David Mamet film is seriously one of the worst 100 to be released in any year defies belief. Also Zack and Miri, Choke, and the Foot Fist Way were all at least decent, I thought. That's how I felt about the inclusion of Funny Games and ...

Re: Inception--flawless and a masterpiece, huh??

nolan could make a movie about this thread .. but instead of a psychological analysis of the characters there would just be random explosions and awesomeness....but not in a Michael Bay way, in an awesome way that makes me forget what the movie was supposed to be about. Oh, yeah, I thought we were ...
