Reasonably competently made, and faintly enjoyable in parts, but "very good" is overreaching towards the ludicrous.

5.Twilight Series

First that's 23 movies not 5.Second I would truly like for you to relate how,besides the original Die Hard,any of these films could be termed "good".

Anyway I too am a HUGE!!! fan of movie series as they save you from the incredibly annoying stuffs like character development and originality and let you get straight to the awesomeness of slow motion CG fight scenes and overbearing music.

Btw my favourite movies are Gone with the Wind 3:Rhett's Back and This Time He Does Give a Damn!!!!!!!! and Casablanca 8 : Heinrich's Revenge.

That's one incredibly random list.
Anyway,this.
Aliens (1985)
The theatrical cut of James Cameron’s Aliens begins with the unlikely discovery of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in deep space, where she'd been drifting along in hyper-sleep in the many years since her old mining ship, the Nostromo, was lost to an alien invasion. To her horror, Ripley learns that LV426, the planet where her crew discovered the creature, has not only since been colonized, but that all communication to the settlers has been mysteriously lost. So when she and a group of heavily armed Marines travel back to the planet and across its surface to the colony in howling wind, there’s the dread of the unknown: What will they find? Will there be any survivors? But all that dread—and, just as importantly, the advantages of revealing the situation through Ripley’s point of view—goes out the window in Cameron’s director’s cut, which makes the unfathomable decision to show a piece of life (and death) among the settlers, perhaps to further humanize the scraggly girl Ripley later finds in the tunnels. Other changes include more footage of the aliens’ life cycle and the establishment of automated machine guns, but those are merely superfluous, not outright destructive.

Interesting gem of a late afternoon channel surfing find. The later incarnations answered some questions, but the answers could never fully live up to the mystery.

There are a couple of special editions of Cube (1997) with extras on the dvd.
There is the French disc with the short film 'Elevated' by the same director, enjoy:

https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14265076

Also, an Italian disc with deleted scenes from the workprint (which i have).

Yea i am a big fan of Cube (never seen Cube 2), i really enjoyed Splice (2009) only recently aswell.
I think Vincenzo Natali is a director to watch, really like his work.

I did a checklist of what is commonly judged to as what makes a good movie,you know silly things like good script, good acting ,good production values,gratuitous sex scenes,giant fighting robots and I'm pretty positive that Cube had none of those.
What it does have is a bare thread of an interesting idea which isn't fleshed out and an unsatisfying ending which a bunch of silly people choose to delude themselves as to somehow being meaningful. :mellow:

Seriously if it didn't contain that scene of the guy being cut into little pieces,the movie would have died without a ripple.

You know what is a good movie? Equilibrium because some genius came up with a way to have both gun and sword fights and almost have it make sense.
Plus Sean Bean's in it and for once he doesn't die.

---------------------------------

Happened to see Adam's Apples (2005), which is a Danish movie, last night on NutFlicks. Certainly worth the watch- even for those who do not typically like subtitles.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418455/

Centered on The Book of Job, the show deals with life's challenges and ultimately Who is responsible. Yes, it is religious in nature, but does not leave the viewer left feeling like they have just been beaten over the head with the bible.

Give it a watch, or let your heathen soul burn eternally- see if I care. :snooty:

I hear that The Rocky Horror Picture Show has a young Susan Saradon in nothing but her bra and panties so no one is ever going to be able to convince me that it isn't a good movie.

Well, yes, ok. It is a pretty good movie. I've just watched it, the UK version with the alternative black-and-white intro, and will probably watch the US version before long, for the sake of completeness, and also because I really like the songs.

The BluRay I picked up came with options to select version and alternative openings, which I think is pretty neat.

That line is going to come back to haunt you (occasionally) and I just saw one that qualifies.

It's a no pretence balls out action movie, but there is enough of a plot and a surprising twist for it to be genuinely entertaining.

The movie is 2 Guns and it stars Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg opposite each other, and the presence and vibe between the actors strong, it reminded me of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat, I also enjoyed Edward James Olmos as a baddie, he seemed to revel in the role as well.

Not to give too much away but they aren't actually 'buddies' for most of the movie and in fact they dick each other over more than once during the course of the movie, they are more forced together by circumstances and work towards a common goal.

Although you are more bleakly unforgiving than I of modern script writing/acting, this was a cut above the usual schlock, it delivered a believable suspense, and characters you genuinely empathised with.

Being Mark Wahlberg though of course he smirks....

To be serious, part of the problem is that most of the good stuff in "old" ( "old" being when they used to actually write dialogue and characters )movies has now been redone so many times that what was once original,is now seen as cliche.
In short, even "great" isn't so great anymore.:mellow:

That and I just did a quick search for "Best Adventure/Action movie ever" and seems that my worst fears are true and the internet is now run by 12 years that think The Mummy remake qualifies as great cinema so lots of luck of ever getting suggests on what might be good to watch.

So basically fuck everyone and your Goddamn computers but especially Mary.

These movies to me were great on a level that I didn't have to place them against a backdrop of garbage to make that claim. Granted, some of these are just the next in queue from Pez directors, but I've been burned plenty in the past trusting laurels.

Also, the weight of creative and original works has shifted to television, so it's not as one sided as it used to be.

Seriously, if you can give me one reason why the film is good I will be truly amazed.
On the other hand I can easily give you several why it was shite.
Boring and stupid.No real character development or exposition. Rambling scenes.Didn't really make a lot of any sense.

If you are going to make a movie about the wonders of magic and then just "cheat" everything with a bunch of special effects it sort of defeats the purpose.:mellow:

"Lone Survivor"

(...gets a very good nod here. 'nuff said.) :alien:

After listening to the audio version of reading the book I felt somewhat let down by the ending.It was a little bit convenient and contrived, especially considering most of the things leading up to it were more grounded in fact.
Also I can't believe people comparing, in terms of visceral realism, the battle scene to the opening one in Saving Private Ryan.

Personally I'm glad they don't equate ,as up to that point Lone Survivor had done a good job of making you care for the characters and dulling the carnage to give each a (slightly) gentler and in a couple cases, heroic death lessened the blow a bit even if possibly at the same time also lessening the overall impact of the movie.

One thing that bothered me though and I couldn't stop thinking about,was how identical the music was in this to another one of Berg's movies, The Kingdom.
Try as I might not to,every time the music played I was thinking "Kingdom" and not about what was happening onscreen.:mellow:

I'd recommend checking out some of the directors that are often listed on 'best directors' lists. In particular Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Akira Kurosawa, and Stanley Kubrick. Those are 4 filmographies definitely worth getting into, and each one of them was very different from one another so you can find one to appeal to your specific tastes.

I'd recommend the movie Ravenous for having the best darn soundtrack ever made. Its just so fitting and unique, it actually adds to the film and sort of makes it this bizarre black comedy horror of sorts. Definitely one of my favorites, but its not for everyone. While some see a creative and amazing film, others see an average B horror. Obviously I'm in the former category.

Given the common denominator, as both are directed by Scorsese, one can visualize the gangsters in (Goodfellas) replaced by stockbrokers in (The Wolf of Wall Street)... same things if you ask me. The "fleecing" of people being woven in different ways perhaps... but I seem to feel he used a few threads from the Hunter S. Thompson school of thinking... reminiscent of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"... the book not the movie (with Depp).

I'll take your recommendation as high praise.

Surely, there are important, good stories to be told- they just aren't currently enticing.

No... I will say only this about that... After my father passed away a few years ago at the healthy age of 90 my older brother and I had to go through his papers to in order to settle his affairs... at this time we found stamped original documentation including his clearances as well as other things explaining many mysteries that had plagued and puzzled us as children. Only my older brother was born soon after that incident... Whenever we watched a TV program focusing on a Jesse Marcel interview we just looked up at dad when he said, "Yeah... we had a lot of extra air traffic there back then." He then would just grin, smile and go back to reading his newspaper.

Little did we know until we saw all those papers.

Serendipity (2001)

During a lifetime, each of us pass a unique opportunity to find our happiness. The truth is that many people don't realize that and move on, living the rest of their life with regret of not having fulfilled their destiny. For most people this is true, but each of them has a dream that can be a little naive, but their soul resonates. In a few cases, after a moment of lucidity (some might call it luck) or perseverance, dreams fail to turn into reality, but most people feel that living an unfulfilled and missed life despite the apparent wealth or success which have part.

The film is beautiful, full of romance, love is in the air even in realistic sequences. Exaggeration of rigor is present, even some anachronisms, but this time I won't reveal it just to let viewers enjoy the movie. Even if the story seems improbable, and the actors are hand-picked (Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack), the idea of ​​existence of predestined souls remains valid. In such interaction divine magic turns dreams into reality.

IdolEyes787
09-24-2014, 04:59 PM
I obviously watched a different Serendipity as there is nothing remotely "realistic" about it and that is sort of the entire point.

Anyway as always nice copy/paste/translation from some foreign site. Personally I could sum the film up in one easy sentence...If you like Beckinsale then you'll endure the inherent stupidity,otherwise the movie is basically an insult to true romance and sucks monkey balls*.

Another three war movies that have largely gone under the radar that I recommend (although they aren't that recent ) are:

Saints and Soldiers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373283 a story about the Malmedy massacre told through the eyes of a small group of soldiers separated from the rest of the troops during the battle.

When Trumpets Fade http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0135706 A story about the largely forgotten and long hard slog by allied forces through the Harz Mountains with extremely high casualties. Forgotten because soon after the battle was complete (I wouldn't say won with the amount of attrition involved) the Battle of the Bulge occurred and erased all memory of this long hard slog from the collective mind. This movie features a truly riveting performance by Ron Eldard.

Hart's War http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251114 About a P.O.W. camp at the end of W.W. II. American officers are decrying their German captors for treating the Russian prisoners the 'untermenschen' as less than human. Then two Tuskegee airmen a pair black officers are assigned to the camp. A very interesting counterpoint on racism and a there is a good old fashioned whodunnit in the mix as well, starring Colin Farrell and Bruce Willis in an unusual role.

None are particularly 'happy' films, but they are poignant, and well worth the watch.

definitely watch interstellar or prometheus, yep im a bit of a geek lol, any on the christopher nolan movies are well worth a viewing, like inception etc, his movies are very layered and intricate you may have to watch a few times to get the understanding of the movie!

What sucked most about Prometheus was that there was potential there for an awesome backstory. Instead, viewers were left with, "WTF did I just watch and how does that tie into the other movies I actually enjoyed?!?!?"

Interstellar was just Nolan cashing in on his name.

That's the change in relativity caused by watching an over-hyped movie that you hope is going to get good at the end. I kinda felt like I aged more than the population who had not seen the show.

Anyone else notice that almost all of the interesting parts were "borrowed" from better scifi? Sadly, there is no academic accountability in Hollywood. :no:

Beyond the plot contrivances, it's infuriating that Nolan insists on spoonfeeding the audience with shitty expository dialog. Trained astronauts with ostensibly PhD level educations wouldn't talk or behave like that. He makes smart movies for dumb folks. It's a shame because Kip Thorne's work (http://www.amazon.com/Science-Interstellar-Kip-Thorne/dp/0393351378/ref=sr_1_1/187-4505879-8983237?ie=UTF8&qid=1422469500&sr=8-1&keywords=science+of+interstellar) is pretty great. I read they'll be able to publish multiple papers on the modeling of Gargantua.

Palate cleansing time, two recent films I enjoyed:

The Infinite Man (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_infinite_man/) cute low budget comedy based on time travel. Think Primer for your girlfriend.

The Guest (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_guest_2014/) fantastic genre pastiche. Send up of bad late night cable/direct to video with a bit of John Carpenter. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Accompanied with an equally appropriate (and great) 80's synth sountrack.

Leviathan

I saw this movie when it run in an event that included the best films awarded at Cannes. It's a nearly flawless movie that captures the corruption of power relations in today's Russia and how it affects the common man. Beyond that, the acting is awesome and images are superb. I'd mention it's not a commercial film, easily 'readable', and if you pay attention and seriousness definitely you'll be rewarded..

Film critiquing is a rather complex science.In light of that fact while I was study cinema at La Femis in Paris I took literally seconds to came up with a precise formula for rating films.

Ninjas. Add one star
Hot chick.Add one star.Add two stars if her acting isn't an embarrassment to humanity and she clearly only got the job by blowing the producer.
Good soundtrack.Add one star.One and a half if it's Motown.
Starring any one or a combination of Clive Owen,Timothy Olyphant or a young Clint Eastwood .Add one star.
No puppies were harmed in the making of the movie(obviously) and in the end the bad people get their just desserts,Add one to three stars depending on the cuteness of the widdle puppies and the evilness of the bad guys.So like Robin Hood ,Prince of Thieves only gets one added star because clearly everyone would have been happier Alan Rickman lived and Kevin Costner ate it and Marley and Me get a negative three,because.

O $#!+ I got to invent a LOL filter! Do not see the third Hobbit movie. 10 minutes of Smaug and 15 minute of remaining dialog fiiiled in with two hours of boring metal sword clanks again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Interstellar is dumb. I make false premises which it then goes against. Anyone who understands quantum mechanics knows time ALWAYS flows backwards. Yet they claim otherwise only to have the main plot point go against that very claim. It's pure Hollywood bullshit. I mean why in the fuck is Mathew M freaking out he has forever to figure out how to communicate with her but he is acting like a few seconds will make a difference. He has forever, literally. to send his message to her. Most humans are so limited and mundane in their thoughts. You would think existing in a four dimensional construct would affect him but he is still the same brainless dipshit he was when the movie started yet we are suppose to believe he somehow bore a star child. Pure crap!! Genetics do not work that way. Even a savant is born out of genetic potential, I know more about this then I should.

Lucy was weird, not Brazil weird but still weird.

If you like it you might want to see Upside Down about the reverse gravity planets. Also weird but romantic.

Prometheus was worse then Interstellar and I consider Bladerunner to be a classic. I have The Theory Of Everything, and The Imitation Game in the queue but am worried they will disappoint but I also was worried about Inception which was actually decent movie despite being mostly an action flick. OK. I guess it's "time, to die".

Didn't realize TCruise was from Eastern Europe. :drummer:

Honestly, I never made that very correct connection. Oblivion fails to make the same level of isolation apparent in Moon. However, Moon ends up far more tedious to watch. If I had to rewatch one, I'd go for Oblivion for that reason alone.

What's your take, PS?

It's been a few years, but I think your point about the tedium is spot on. On that note, I see the last Hobbit movie is out and I have zero desire to watch it. Like a popcorn bucket full of benadryl and ambien drizzled in warm melatonin sauce. zzz.

It's more of a gross display of what can be accomplished with CGI when there is no material in the script. Given my choice of watching H3, Interstellar, or Gravity again (picking on the above post here), I'd go for Mr. Baggins. It has a fast pace to it- lots of quick-moving elves, orcs getting killed, and the end of that pesky dragon.

Maze Runner (Native Americans call it "Corn") is fine until you think about how many resources the dying population would have had to consume to build such an arena. And for what? To drug, disorient, frighten, and kill a bunch of teenagers. Not that I'm opposed to such efforts, but I can accomplish it without building something the size of 50 Hoover Dams.

Also same for Whiplash, honestly expected it to be some mediocre movie about a band. So wrong. Miles Teller is gorwing up, or at least taking more serious roles. Still a college movie role but he had a surprisingly good performance in this.

Neon runners are clearly much cooler that sticking a couple of McD trays under your back wheels and giving it some with the handbreak on around your local Tesco carpark (other coutries will vary but sure the trays remain the same as does the game).

Here in Canada we just waited for the snow , there was no need for hand brakes , or special tires , especially in a 67 GTO, keeping it straight was the problem.
