Into The Wild

Powerful movie, I must say. I mean, I think the kid was misguided, he hurt his family needlessly, and going to live in the wilderness of Alaska without proper training and equipment is not very smart, but his journey and eventual fate still got to me emotionally.

8.5/10

Leaves of Grass

Awesome movie about accepting who you are, where you came from, and coming to peace with that. Edward Norton does an excellent job in dual roles, and though the movie is - at the outset - partially about a drug dealer, that doesn't take center stage.

The Losers

It was a loser. Turned it off.

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath. You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death...

It was fun to watch. Didn't really go watching to review it, more to enjoy it. Music was amazing. O.O

I read the books, and my sister adores them. I basically had no choice, so I went into it with an open mind.
Yeah.... I had to watch it with my girlfriend. I don't think the movies are all that bad, though they're not really that good either.

I'd say they're entertaining if you have someone to watch it with.

Yeah I'd say they're entertaining enough to watch once, but I won't be buying them on DVD.

I watched Eclipse last Monday with my best friend (female) and one of her friends (also female). They were giggling like little girls. My best friend is on team Edward and her friend is on team Jacob and they were really swooning over the boys and saying they were wishing they were Bella right now, and stuff. Very high level of estrogen in the room. Afterwards we watched Vampires Suck, a parody movie which makes fun of the Twilight movies, but even that was not enough, on Wednesday I really had to compensate watching such a girly movie with such girly girls by playing a violent video game and watching some manly movies with a manly man, namely Splice and Piranha 3D :wink:

Eww... Splice. It was so awesome until the middle. And then it was terrible. XD

Annnd... I last watched Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

I was actually pretty surprised. It was a relevant and fair assessment (objectively fair) of the financial crisis (as in, it blamed the bankers and policies, not any one person within the government), it made you actually care about Shia Lebeouf and Carey Mulligan, and the story wasn't half bad for a sequel from a standalone movie.

I still prefer the original, though. :P

Haven't updated, so here's a few I saw recently


300

This movie wasn't historically accurate, the fighting wasn't close to realistic, and it was over the top. It also bloody awesome. (No pun intended, lol) This was one of the most fun movies I've seen in a long while, and made me laugh, cheer, and get ramped up all the way through.

I think I will give it an A for that. And the rather cool cinematic design of slightly washing everything out to give a comic-book feel.

A


Office Space

Saw this for the first time a few weeks ago, and it has hands down become my favorite comedy movie of all time. IT jokes, office jokes, and outright hilarious antics make this a pure winner for me.

The esteemed S ranking is applicable, but not for everyone due to some language and a scene of teh nudies.

S


That's all I remember for now...

I think I know what you mean. I did not expect that
Spoiler:
they were going to show the creature naked and that Adrien Brody was going to have sex with it
. Totally unbelievable and also disturbing. I thought it was okay to watch once, but I expected to like it much more than I did and I'm not going to buy it on DVD.

As for Piranha 3D, I had fun with it, but people that are easily offended by gratuitous nudity and copious amounts of blood and gore might want to give it a pass.

Well, it wasn't just that.

It was that it seemed like an intelligent psychological thriller at first... and then turned into a straight up monster movie, complete with the monster chasing everyone through the woods. I was so disappointed (and disturbed by the aforementioned scene).

Watched a Dutch movie tonight with my parents, Winter in Wartime, a World War 2 movie based on a popular Dutch teen novel.

While it's not the most spectacular tale that can be told (Black Book by Paul Verhoeven is a much more exciting Dutch WW2 movie to watch, but also way more vulgar, it must be said), at least the production values, the direction and the acting are good. It's a decent movie, professionally made, not bad at all for a Dutch production (not really a fan of most Dutch movies). I believe it's now going into limited release in the US, Sony Pictures Classics has picked it up for distribution.

Overall I'd recommend it for fans of European arthouse cinema. For fans of Hollywood cinema I'd recommend Black Book, but don't say I didn't warn you about the constant cursing and the sexual content (the fact alone that Paul Verhoeven directed it should be enough of a warning).
