Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

I was cleaning up my old DVDs & came across Sexy Beast & had to watch it... Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley, & Ian McShane... Nuff said... :smokin
 
I wasn't aware Brody fell off or anything. He's been solid or great in his recent films. The problem I think is his film choices overall haven't been that great to garner critical acclaim.

He's a very good actor though.

I thought Brody was always trash because I had seen Predators before any of his other solid work like The Pianist (still need to see that movie in full, only seen middle to end). He was great in Midnight In Paris as Salvador Dali, but that was like for 5-10 minutes.

What are your guys' thoughts on 12 Monkey's? Have it on Blu, but every time I take it out to watch I happen to look at the back of the case and it just weirds me out. :lol: But I know its somewhat highly reviewed.

Damn man. How you see Predators before Thin Red Line, The Village, The Pianist, and King Kong? :lol:

He chooses his films strangely. He went and did a giallo-film with Dario Argento, the father of the giallo subgenre (Italian deranged murder mysteries), and it was aptly named Giallo. :lol: it was pretty bad.

I didn't think Splice was bad at all. Polley and Brody play it serious enough, and the effects are good enough for it to be respectable.

Also saw him in Bread and Roses, which is a very good film about the discrimination of Latinos in the workplace. He was okay, but the other actors were far better.

I saw 12 Monkeys probably too late for my own good. It's not bad, but I didn't think it was great either. A lot of the stuff Pitt was doing was later emulated by others in films and it took away from some of the freshness it might've had when the film was in theaters. Still it's a good film, I just revere it as much as others may.
 
I liked Brody in Detachment. It was a kinda experimental inner city substitute teacher movie from a couple years ago. Lucy Liu and Christina Hendricks in it too. From the guy who made American History X.
 
Watching the Ironman Movies and The Avengers to get into Ironman mode and...

I need to catch that, and Midnight in Paris, and also The Pianist... :nerd:
 
The Pianist is one of my favorite films. Movies that usually have the protagonist by himself dealing with problems whether psychological, physical, internal, external etc. etc.

so any recommendations?

I have seen Moon, Pi, and Children of Men(not really but my favorite movie), just can't think of any others right off the back

Check out The Pledge. Stars Jack Nicholson as a small town cop trying to solve a child's murder right before he's supposed to retire. Sean Penn directed it. A lot of individual psychological drama that goes on.
 
Finally knocked out No Country for Old Men

overall the ending had me >D

decent movie, wouldnt watch again.
 
have seen There Will Be blood, Clayton, year that Brick came out? because I immediately thought of 2 with the same name I think

never heard of The Pledge it'll be first on my next list

I liked No Country...

also for school we got extra credit option to see a movie, there was a list of which, and match how they work with Journalism (my class) and concepts so to speak, and I chose Shattered Glass with hayden christensen soely because I think he's bad

He was bad in the Star Wars movies, but I actually think Hayden's a decent actor. He was fine in Shattered Glass and Life as a House. He really got done in by the George Lucas factor in the SW movies.
 
The Brick I mean was from 2005. It's this film noir set in a high school, about a brick of heroin gone missing. It's like a new throwback. Really well made...first movie from the guy who did Looper, and. I guess it was the breakout role for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. One of the more memorable movies you'll ever see.

But I gotta warn you...the dialogue is uh...different. :lol: Could be a dealbreaker for some.

my younger brother and I have decided to do this movie exchange thing. He chooses a movie for me and vice versa, since we both have very different tastes.

the first movie he chose for me is The Hobbit, and i'm giving him Bronson.

we'll see how this goes
 
"The tenant" is pretty much all about one guy going nuts. Actually you should watch all of roman Polanski's "apartment trilogy"

Repulsion, Rosemary's baby, the tenant.

But some of it is dubbed badly into English. (the tenant)


Chinatown is an amazing classic. Very slow though.


The original wicker man is one mans journey into the heart of an isolated culture.


These are all psycological thrillers essentially. And all like over 30 years old lol



"Apartment zero" is strange movie with the main character from the kings speech which nobody has seen. I liked it. Very peculiar.

7 pounds was cool because of how selfless Will was but I don't remember caring too much outside of that. Maybe I need to watch it again.

I'm committed to Time Warner sadly. No clue how that's a billion dollar company product is weak.
