Iron Man
PG-13
Robert Downey Jr. makes this movie, I couldn't imagine anyone better suited for the role of Tony Stark. Probably the best comic book movie since Batman Begins. If it sticks to the usual comics trilogy pattern we're guaranteed an even better 2nd movie! followed by a weak 3rd.
Two Hands
R
Great low budget Aussie crime comedy, with the most brilliant bank robbery you'll ever see. Worth checking out if you come across a copy.
Ed Wood
R
Edward D. Wood Jr.: I like to dress in women's clothing.
Georgie Weiss: You're a fruit?
Edward D. Wood Jr.: No, not at all. I love women. Wearing their clothes makes me feel closer to them.
Georgie Weiss: You're not a fruit?
Edward D. Wood Jr.: No, I'm all man. I even fought in W.W.2. Of course, I was wearing women's undergarments under my uniform.
It's very different from what we've come to expect from Tim Burton, it's not gothic or surreal, Its a very quirky and funny biopic? of Edward D. Wood Jr. the "worst director of all time" who is played brilliantly by Depp. The rest of the cast is great too, particularly Martin Landau, Bill Murray and the very underrated Patricia Arquette. Highly Recommend.
Futurama: Bender's Big Score
Unrated
A great feature length episode of Futurama. The gag-rate is a little slower than the series (like most other shows that have done this) but it has some great moments, including a smart time travel story and some ruder jokes we would never see in the series.
[Hermes realizes that Zoidberg attached his head to his body backwards]
Hermes Conrad: You incompetent crab!
Zoidberg: I thought you were happy. Your tail is wagging.
Raging Bull
R
I find it difficult to enjoy films where the main protagonist is such a monster. I prefer it when I can at least sympathize with the character on some level, but I couldn't. De Niro gave a brilliant performance, but he seems to be drawn to the same types of characters. In this, he yet again plays a character that mistreats women. It's not my favourite Scorsese/De Niro effort (that would be Taxi Driver), but it was well worth the £2 I paid.
A Bittersweet Life (Dalkomhan insaeng)
Unrated
God I love Asian cinema! It had a fairly straight forward plot and lots of amazing action and fight sequences. It also brought to mind a few of my other favourite films, including- 'Oldboy' and 'Taxi Driver'. Which can't be a bad thing?

Really cool film, with loads of funny moments, makes me want to have been around in that period. Brilliant feel-good film that I could watch over and over again.
2.
The Big Lebowski
R
Great film, everything is top-notch; the dialogue, the characters, the story and the cast. It's also a film that gets better with each viewing. Very Funny and extremely quotable.

Pulp Fiction
R
A classic! My favourite film by Tarantino, I don't think he'll ever top this. An amazing cast and great stories cleverly connected.
4.
Batman Begins
PG-13
Brilliant! It climbs higher and higher up my favourites list with each viewing, probably the best comic book movie ever made. Christopher Nolan is a genius.
6.
Clerks
R
One of my favourite films of all time. Everyone should see this! Its amazing, so simple aswell. Goes to show you don't need amazing special effects, a big budget and big stars to make an amazing film, just a great script.

The Last of the Mohicans
by JackNot what I expected, really.
The story is about a dying tribe called the Mohicans in which only two are left as well as one adopted white man. These three men refuse to enter the militia for English in 1757 for they want freedom. On their way to Kentucky, they intercept Indians attacking a small regiment of British including the two daughters of an English Colonel on their way to a fort. The three men lead the survivors to the fort while two love stories take place but the French and Indian War continues.
I found it very dull and boring. And Daniel Day-Lewis annoyed me.
I have nothing else to say.Not a movie I'll rewatch, that's for sure.

Paradise Lost - The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
by Agnesthis documentary is extremely touching, horrifying and strong and also very interesting..it sure is scary to watch considering it's all real..the photos of the three murdered boys, crying parents and the trial, it's all real..the crime is so awful and very hard to even try to imagine, and when I was finished watching the documentary I was left with the question: who really killed those 8 year old boys? the trial is very interesting to watch and I took part of it with mixed feelings. Three young men, 16, 17 and 18 years old, were convicted, but are they the killers? Two were sentenced to lifetime and one got the death penalty, but are they guilty?? I have to say that I honestly don't know...

China Seas
by Veronique"china seas" is directed by tay garnett who also helms the classic noir "the postman always rings twice"...it has every gable/harlow formulic element adopted from their former collaboration "red dust": oriental background, racist insinuation, sexist inequality, man's madonna complex with sensual blonde and prim brunette, luscious harlow swoons over reluctant gable whose heart is taken by the demure brown-haired lady, then eventually harlow captures gable back with a twist.
clark gable is gallant captain alan gaskell who discards aside his former flame ,showgirl chinadoll (harlow) with a foul humor, while he re-encounters his long-lost crush for years, refined British dame sybil (rosalind russel). chinadoll attempts to entince gaskell's attention again while she finds him enamour of his english girlfriend who he plans to marry. harlow pulls it off clumsily by insinuating gable's crude disdemeanors at the past on the dinner table, growling about her wretched heart in his cabin, making excuses to approach him by putting her cigarettes in his drawer. she tries everything she could but gaskell still dismisses her as obnoxious, a desperate girl who could hook up with any sailor. while rosalind russuel behaves tastefully as a obedient love interest who withdraws wisely at their confrontation. as harlow groans "i ain't like that english dame who gets brought up to say the right thing, i speak whatever inside my mind"
meanwhile wallace beery is jamesey, chinadoll's courting admirer who schemes to backstab captain gaskell with chinese piracy then captures chinadoll as his own since she has been frequently demeaned by gaskell. infuriated by gaskell's insult when she sneaks to his cabin to warn him, chinadoll steals the key of arsenils for jamesey. then the ship gets robbed for the first time after the trainwreck of typhoon. gaskell's foot also gets swayed tightly by oriental turturer. the villain commits suicide while the blonde bashes out her agony of love as treason confession "yes! i steal your key and give it to jamesey, i would have stood backward back with you, figure it out yourself why i don't, you teach me something i have never known about myself, when a woman can love a man right down her fingertips, she could hate him the same way as well...go call your cop, if you could ditch it out then i could take it!!!!"...then the fabulous line of wallace beery in his last breath would be "loving you is the only decent thing i have ever done in my whole life, even it's obviously a mistake."
"china seas" is more clever than "red dust"..."red dust" is more of gable's concession to the bourgeois values by giving mary astor away to gratify her husband's dreams of marital happiness, and harlow is more like a trophy of solace, a substitute of ease, a woman closer to his proteriat upbringing would make a better spouse as he shamelessly cheers "we're all rotten people in this stinky country". additionally astor's role seems like a pretentious closet bitch who likes to pose goody-goody, and that role has been brought back to life by grace kelly again in its remake "mogaboo"
but "china seas" is a recuperated love of pathos, it is harlow's ignited hatred which hunts gable back as avengeful betrayl is somehow an intensified way to express affections. when he utters sympathetically "you hard-headed crazy little fool", he's hers. so he decides to resign his position in court to rescue harlow from hanging, and also nullifies the chance of entrance into a higher society, "yes! i love her!! but not the way i do you"...as he glances her being sent to the police, she looks up to wave farewell, he smiles warmly then the movies closes.
"china seas" has engrossing melodramaticity, gut-wrenching villainy and the enchanting oriental backset to gloss the scenes. the first shoot of panoramic view of a thousand ships in the china seas is impressing, and the picturesque set of hong kong dock is turbulently prosperous. it has kaleiscopic scenes of orient despite the usage of its disdains to its people, such as the bitter-tongued annoying oriental lady as the stereotyped asian cosmopolitan who humuliates harlow by calling her the cheap liquor before the delicate wine, the lives costed by typhoon catastrophe are all asians who get run over by the giant machine and gable sneers at the chinese pirates who are also the negative oritental stereotype as insidiously inscrutable. put racism and sexism aside, "china seas" is vivid and vibrant with enough dramaticities and exotica to pay audience's interests. and this time, gable/harlow romance is managed in a more chivalric way, and the script does come up with a more proper twist to nobilize clark gable, and more "romantic" in its partriachic pattern.
the wardrobe of jean harlow's is also another fashion accomplishment by adrian, and some dresses harlow wears in "china seas" should have become stylistic milestone. adrian pastiches the styles of occident and orient well in several night gowns with dragon and pheonix upon the backside. except the one dress which bares harlow right breast(a blatant gratitude for male audience), all the other brightful suits are sorta neat and lovely. besides, clark gable also looks very dashing in white navy suit of captain when his "diamond in the raw" phallic image mellows.it's the best among the gable/harlow collaborations. the black with a white phoenix on the back and the dress she wears in the "a woman could love a man right down her fingertip"...and in the flick, jean harlow wears a wig becuz her trademark blonde hair is in its awful shape due to repeated dyeing. and the orient backset is an escapist purpose to console the audience in the depression area. it's highly watchable with enough dramatic plots.

James Dean
by LisaReally excellent biopic about the legend that is James Dean. For films like this is is seriously hard to choose the right actors to portray them. James Franco however made an excellent James Dean. The two do look very similar so that helped a lot. Some parts of the film were made up which I really didn't see the point of. Like Dean's father telling him his mother wasn't sure he was his father. Why? All the performances in the film are fantastic. I even read that the beach house is the one that was used in Beaches. I also heard that James Franco became so immersed in playing James Dean that he went from being a non smoker to smoking two packs a day, as well as playing the guitar, the bongos, and learned to ride a motorcycle. That's dedication. A must see film for all James Dean fans.
Seen this ages ago but no one has seen it so I thought I would recommend it. James Franco is surprisingly good as James Dean.

What Happens in Vegas...
by AlexanderGet lucky.
Set in Sin City, story revolves around two people who discover they've gotten married following a night of debauchery...
Cameron Diaz: Joy McNally
Ashton Kutcher: Jack Fuller
In the beginning Vegas has a bit of originality and fits perfectly in the so ridiculous it's hilarious comedy type but then, step by step, it turns into a normal romantic comedy. It has numerous comic scenes and some of them are really funny. Weird shit like him weeing in a sink comes to mind has damn right laugh inducing or Ashton taking off the toilet seat and Bathroom door.
We can see it especially at the ending, because it has the expected, conventional, and boring Hollywood ending we are all used to watch in this sort of comedies.
I liked the performances of the main actors though. I think Ashton Kutcher is funny, like he was in other comedies and Cameron Diaz still has that charm and seductive ability to dazzle.
Of course it's not a grand comedy, it's even a bit silly and flawed at parts, but overall funny and entertaining.
Vegas is like Super Ex Girlfriend and a brilliant date movie.Saw this last night and what an amazing way to finish off a scorcher of a day!
Perfect silly Romantic Comedy which also makes a good Date Movie.
Worth watching, Ashton & Cameron have a laugh, wait for the credits for some more laughs! :Dposted 3 days ago -

Gentleman's Agreement
by AugustineJust like "The Lost Weekend" in 1945 and "The Best Years of Our Lives" in 1946, this movie dealt with American social issues. Yet together with "The Lost Weekend" and "Rebel Without A Cause", this movie's importance vanishes when time elapses. Also, it is just too boring and long-winded for me! How can it take 30 minutes to get into the main theme?
Hey, you should only see this if you like those old fashioned social issues in the 1940s' America!

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
by AugustineThe massive sex scenes are overwhelming, but the plot is more praiseworthy - it deals with choices between love and lust, morality and survival, and many more little things. Daniel Day-Lewis is once again brilliant, Juliette Binoche's role is very lovely either. The music score is woderful and the scenery is picturesque. Fascinating and beautiful!

A Free Soul
by Veronique"a free soul" is the very flick which gets clark gable some female attention with the notorious scene of him pushing norma shearer roughly to the couch for three times! blatant violence on woman, but endearing gable is always excusable since he's doing it for the sake of love.
norma shearer plays a spoilt rich gal jan ashe who defies her family by dating mobster ace wilfong(gable), emancipated by her alcoholic father(lionel barrymore) who encourages her to be free. so she sneaks to the mobster's residence shamelessly as if she's his mistress for months. infatuated by jan's tumultuous lovemaking, wilfong falls head over heels in love with jan, then he consults her father's approval for the marriage proposal...due to the gap of social status, the father finally sombers up and condemns jan for hanging around with wilfong. so jan makes a bargain with dad that if he quits booze, she would quits gable. then the father and daughter disappear for three months in wilderness for eradication of liquor which fails eventually. and norma shearer returns to the dangerously charismatic clark gable while he's infuriated by her abscence, then he threatens her to marry him or he would announce their affair to ruin her social reputation. in the end, shearer's another love interest leslie howard comes to the scene to shoot gable to death, gallantly rescuing her from gable's villainy.
clark gable is still in his mustacheless period and credited as the third in the cast, but his overwhelming caveman-alike machismo thrills millions of women then while he growls "you're mine and you belong to me! don't you ever run away!!!" and his disdemeanors to push norma shear in fur is highly appreciated by the audience in depression period due to the animosity to idle rich, and gable's contempt to norma's social superiority was approved by proles who disdain the condescending loftiness of upper class. besides, gable's character has been devoted to shearer who is just ficklely having a good time slumming, and she's contrary to whoever posts disapproving opinions on her. when her family refuses to accept gable, she throws herself to him, as gable declares his determination to marry her, she ducks away. and he's traumatized by her frivolosity but too proud to admit it. so his rage is perfectly justified, and he wants her so he's gonna rob her away to be his! this tough kind of savage manhood is considered utterly sexy by women then.it was made in the depression area. when norma shearer was still alllowed to behave sluttishly in movies before the demure lady image in the "the women"...gable was not major star then but his rough machismo attracts millions of women then when he pushes norma shearer to the couch...women were thrilled when he shouts "you're mine! and i want you! so you belong to me! don't you ever run away!"

Hero
by JackThe first foreign film I've watched. And it certainly won't be the last.
Plot: In feudal China, the King of Qin is waging a bloody campaign to conquer the entire land. He has been made a target of three dangerous assassins: spear-wielding Sky, and the lovers Broken Sword and Flying Snow. One day word comes that he has nothing left to fear; a prefect known only as Nameless has killed all three assassins. Nameless is called to the palace and asked to recount the tale of how he accomplished this amazing feat. After he tells his story, however, the King notices some flaws in it.
Doesn't sound like a film I would enjoy, seeing the plot. But, the way it was performed was flawless.
A true masterpiece. Even if you do have to watch like a deaf person.Most of you on my friends list have seen this, and the review sucks. But whatever.

Wristcutters - A Love Story
by LisaI've heard a lot about this film recently so I thought I'd better see what all the fuss was about. The title set certain impressions of the film, so I didn't really bother reading the synopsis. I was wrong about that. I thought it would be about teenagers trying to commit suicide. I thought it would just be some bad emo film. I was glad that I was wrong. No, it wasn't excellent but it wasn't your usual love story either so it's always a pleasure to watch films that have a different take on things. The inexperience of everything really comes through in this film. Although it doesn't hinder the film in anyway. It showcases the young talent in all the different fields of film making. Some of the sequences are quite striking, especially the very first one. Patrick Fugit does a really great job in the leading role and all the other characters work well together. I really can't complain about any of it. Yes, there are flaws but nothing that would bother you an awful lot. A recommended film just because it's different.
