Watched Avatar and it was total shit fest.

I could not agree more. It was such a horrible movie. I mean seriously, how bland do you have to be on ideas to name an extremely rare metal, Unobtanium.

Been watching a lot of shit lately.

Amores Perros- Ridiculously good, a sort of much more powerfull and moving Pulp Fiction.

21 grams- Shares many common elements with Amores Perros, it's also amazing but not as good. Sean Penn is brilliant as usually and the main chick is also pretty cool.

Raging Bull- Wonderfull, loved it.

Shifty- A nice movie, served to fulfill my need for british crime drama.

This is England- Great soundtrack and characters, really interesting, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Oldboy- Great music, some memorable scenes and just excellent all around.

The squid and the whale- Not as good as I thought it would be but I still really liked it, great humor mixed with some equally great drama.

The death of Mr.Lazarescu- Sometimes doesn't seem much of a piece of cinema but more of a documentary, still there's something about it that I loved.

There will be blood- Really really boring, the amazing Daniel Day Lewis and photography doesn't save the awfull narrative.

Apocalypse Now- Amazing as I thought it would be.

Leon- Pretty cool relationship between the main characters, made me laugh quite a bit. Naalie Portman is pretty great, especially at such age( I think 13 or 14)

Heat- Awesome cast, good music, great film. De niro and Pacino just kill it.

Pi- The debut of Aronofsky, great movie with a seriously low budget, 60 000 euros I think.

2001 Space Odissey- Visually mind blowing, unlike anything else.

Fight Club- Really liked it, makes ya think.

Crimson gold- Beautiful iranian movie about social injustice, outstanding.

The Prophet- They get it right when they say it's Scarface and The godfather put into one, amazing.

Bound- Pretty stylish and cool, nice movie plus hot lesbians.

The Wrestler- One of my favourites, so moving.

Le Trou- Pretty cool, loved the actors and everything, can't believe some of them aren't even professional.

Out of the Past- Great noir movie.

Just watched Bloodrayne 3... *cough* ummm... yeah.

Biutiful- Alejandro González Iñárritu does it again, amazing movie. Probably one of my favourite directors now.

Waking Life- Very odd but great movie about life, dreams, a bunch of philosophy shit, pretty inspiring.

Saw Captain America on sat, was awesome as I hoped And the last chapter of Harry Potter, which was really good and concluded the film series, next movie I want to see is Transformers 3 and The Green Lantern.

Decided to culture myself and watched the Green Mile. What a piece of cinema.

Game of Thrones Ep. 2

[TNF]

Watched the Tekken movie they made last year. At first, I wasn't too sure about watching this and didn't expect much from another movie bases off a videogame. But I enjoyed it, the acting was average at best, ranging from decent to under-acting at times, the story was well thought out and the fight scenes were choreographed excellently. The film is highly watchable if you don't mind the many innacuracies to the story of the games, overall I'd give it a 7/10.

Yeah watched Cowboys vs aliens

I love that movie. Some of it is so messed up. The last thing I watched was The Lion King 3D It was pretty good. I haven't seen it since I was a small child. It was like I'd never seen it before, good movie though.

Damn i loved that movie
Disney & pixar 3D animated movies are just so cool to watch

Watched a ton of movies since the last post, so I'll keep this just related to last week:

The straight story- Amazing and touching movie. Watched it when I couldn't sleep like at 5 am, went to bed after it a happy dude.

Thin Red Line- One of my new favourite movies, just incredible in so many levels.

The midnight cowboy- Awesome movie, great performance by Dustin Hoffman.

Dances with wolves- Watched it in english class, good movie, I dislike Kevin Costner though.

[Dirty Harry]

Last thing I watched was Good WIll Hunting, we watched it in school.

It's a bit of a meh flick. Kevin Smith is amongst the producers and his influence is easily spotted, in fact the dirty dialogue was the only thing I enjoyed about this movie. 5/10.

Also watched Paul. I don't really know why. It's not very good but it's entertaining.

Haven't been watching a lot of films atm for whatever reason, looking forward to the new Cronenberg though, that should be incredible. I also have Eraserhead and Memento on my drive and each of those probably has a good shot at becoming my new favourite film so again, no idea why I haven't watched them.

EDIT: @ Ivan; Straight Story is really beautiful isn't it? I agree, very touching indeed, truly Lynch out of his comfort zone though.

Watched Rocky III and spiderman really a classic movies.

[TUN3R]

Spider-Man isn't classic It's made in 2001.

[amazingdude]

Its already been out for 10 years lol

[TUN3R]

Its already been out for 10 years lol

Yeah but considering that 2001 and 2011 aren't very different...

[Red_Squirrel_UK]

I watched Into the wild last night

night before I watched never ending story lol

[amazingdude]

I watched The Punisher this afternoon.

[Dirty Harry]

A Dangerous Method by David Cronenberg.

It looks great.

The subject matter and dialogue is VERY interesting. Acting is also good (matter of fact, I always hated Keira Knightley, but she's really good in this one)

It's not boring.

It's actually a good solid film, a regular 3/5 but it is not FUCKIGN AMAZING and it could have been. This had the potential to blow me away like Videodrome or Eastern Promises (both Cronenberg flicks) did. I am disappointed, I expected nothing short of amazing. Maybe my expectations were too high, I dunno.

Still, if I am to put it up to everything else that is or will be out there, like the Shakespeare film (which just looks fucking ridiculous), the Nicolas Cage- Nicole Kidman (2 boring actors who mostly star in shit) which looks like suuuch a turd. Damn, the only movies worht checking out this year are probably Drive, Melancholia and Dangerous Method.


EDIT: @Ivan: what you said about There WIll Be Blood is BLASPHEMY! That flick has awesome writing, need I remind you of this haha:
