Mycot Posted June 9, 2013 Find a good size screen with good surround sound speakers and try "Ninja Scroll". I like good manga because as a medium what can be represented is only limited by the imagination. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bℓσωηG Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) a spanish speaking movie i thought was really good , not action packed but some good acting and a real life scenario . ''Biutiful'' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1164999/?ref_=tt_rec_tt Uxbal, single father of two children, finds his life in chaos as he is forced to deal with his life in order to escape the heat of crime in underground Barcelona, to break with the love for the divorced, manic depressive, abusive mother of his children and to regain spiritual insight in his life as he is diagnosed with terminal cancer.

bℓσωηG Posted June 13, 2013 another spanish flick i really enjoyed ..''The secret in their eyes'' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/ In 1999, retired Argentinian federal justice agent Benjamín Espósito is writing a novel, using an old closed case as the source material. That case is the brutal rape and murder of Liliana Coloto. In addition to seeing the extreme grief of the victim's husband Ricardo Morales, Benjamín, his assistant Pablo Sandoval, and newly hired department chief Irene Menéndez-Hastings were personally affected by the case as Benjamín and Pablo tracked the killer, hence the reason why the unsatisfactory ending to the case has always bothered him. Despite the department already having two other suspects, Benjamín and Pablo ultimately were certain that a man named Isidoro Gómez is the real killer. Although he is aware that historical accuracy is not paramount for the novel, the process of revisiting the case is more an issue of closure for him. He tries to speak to the key players in the case, most specifically Irene, who still works in the justice department and who he has always been attracted to .

bℓσωηG Posted June 13, 2013 I didnt think i could ever enjoy a movie about ballet , but this movie was very good!! great thriller twisted. ''Black Swan'' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947798/?ref_=sr_1 Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bℓσωηG Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Really liked this French Drama a bit slow to get going but well made good characters.. Rust and Bone (2012)"De rouille et d'os" (original title) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2053425/?ref_=tt_rec_tt Put in charge of his young son, Alain leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family.

Rabelais Posted July 3, 2013 On the whole I'm a big fan of Darren Aronofsky, cept requiem which I couldn't stand. Word. I don't mind sad films, even slightly depressing...but Requiem is just pure bleakness. I think it says more about me than the quality of the film, I'm sure there are folks who love it and I can totally see why. Pi kicks ass though. Here are some pics for those who love really clever sci-fi: The Man From Earth. Seriously clever, super low budget but totally enthralling...one of the best sci-fi films I've seen but which is just a bunch of people sitting in a room talking. Primer. Made for $7000 by an engineer. He stars, directed, edited, wrote, scored, screen played the whole thing with friends and family also acting. Complete mind fuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CC60HJvZRE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-YT- Posted October 6, 2013 Beneath the clouds really dig this film it says so much without saying much at all and was actually on NITV just last night. Which brings to to something else i was watching at the same time and switching between the two hehe Let me In - probably the only vampire movie i have ever enjoyed watching, originally based on a Swedish novel - let the right one in which was also made into a film ( screening tonite on SBS 2 ) about a young boy who befriends a strange young girl who happens to be a vampire. Definitely worth a watch will be watching the original tonight, should be as good as the remake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely worth a watch will be watching the original tonight, should be as good as the remake. I agree he really managed to make the scenes speak rather than rely on dialogue in Beneath Clouds. Let the Right One In kills the U.S. remake IMO (as is the case with every U.S. remake I've seen), has a really distinctive mood that gets lost in translation. Do the Right Thing is a classic from the late '80s... tensions flare on a hot day in Bed Stuy Speaking of remakes, it'll be interesting to see what Spike Lee does with Oldboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallubrious Posted October 18, 2013 Firstly I'd just like to clarify that is a very brutal and gory movie, so if you are the least bit squeamish then don't even watch the trailer. I'm not classing this a piece of cinematographic par excellence by any means. I'm really posting it as a warning in case anyone happens upon the movie and gets intrigued by the plot like I did and has to watch the rest of it to find out what happened. It's the sort of thing where you don't want watch but just can't look away. This movie had a serious psychological impact on me for quite some after I watched it. You have been warned 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
