The Movie/Film Thread

I saw this movie again a couple of days ago



and there are scenes in this movie that are absolutely amazing.

Slowly getting hyped for this. Hope it turns out good, always liked their choice in music.

Doctor Strange was neat, diving into an origin story alongside Marvel's Chain-Quest-Comic-Spree. Said origin isn't dramatically far from Iron Man in chastening a borderline vain character...though I think it's more emotionally potent for the Doctor, due to the how and why. He defines himself through his work, and even the thought of losing that hits him pretty hard. As for the rest of the film, it works well for the Spiritual-But-Not-Religious crowd with a mix of The Matrix and the average Marvel movie. Got a small problem with the villain: Think I've already seen this character motive in a popular marvel movie, and the preceding film gave more reason to feel sympathy for him. Still love the CGI though, it earned a visual design nomination for good reason. Building the unknown Frame-by-Frame, Fractal-by-Fractal is not an easy task - I haven't seen it taken to this extent, either. The movie's one of marvel's better creations, has surprisingly good humor, and a sequel would be a welcome addition. Cool.



So I'm going to play the Mulholland Drive card here and say it's best watched without knowing much on the Story/Premise beforehand. Better for those who prefer realistic character-driven dramas, or just something outside of proverbial media meals. The current Metacritic score is at 99, but that's probably irrelephant.

best thing about Total Recall...plenty of Kate in tight pants

watched "the Hunger Games" last night (hadn't seen it since it was in theaters)
holds up well on TV

I finally watched Man of Tai Chi the other night. This was a surprising good flick. Admittedly, it was the official movie poster that turned me off the film initially. Decided to give it a chance as we hadn't watched a martial arts movie in awhile.
Good story, good dialogue, great choreographed fight scenes all with an undercurrent of Taoist mysticism. There was a nice balance of humour and seriousness as well.

If you have epilepsy there is a fight scene where the protag is fighting two opponents in a barge nightclub that engages strobes at one point for about 2 minutes.

7/10 very good film. Recommended if you're into this stuff.

Alternate poster:

Awesome. Planet Hulk! One of the only new comics I enjoyed.

I love this movie!

I thought it was terrible

What did you find terrible about it?

I agree with some of those observations, excepting mainly the stature and cosmetic ones.
The costuming seemed to convey the main's innocence, ascetic nature and detachment from those trappings. Even when he tried to adopt some of those he was still disconnected from it. Not buying a proper flashy car being another demonstration of this as well as his clothes.
The references in the dialogue to taoist mysticism is what really brought this movie up for me. That line between the detective and her boss when she arrests him is hilarious and philosophically leaves it open for interpretation in the unresolved dilemma of recurrent vs. progressive reincarnation. There were quite a few references like that in the film which upped my overall enjoyment of it.

There were also those things about the film that brought my rating of the film down too. I can see from what you enjoy that you'd rate it as you did and can't argue with that.

It's about damn time for another Chris Nolan movie. Looks GUD.
