Agree 100%. "Shutter" was awesome, it managed to replace "Event Horizon" as No. 1 on my "best-horror-movies" list. I still can't get those damn photos out of my head. And the ending... Oh, the ending... :eek:

the moment right close to the start when he's looking through the school group photos he's making, there's that smear on one looking like the profile of a face - then she turns to look at him - MAN! goosebump memory.

Yes, it's the sounds that make this movie so creepy. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, and I can't really remember many scenes from it - but that damn krrrrrrr thing and those soft, wet sounds the dead woman crawling down the stairs was making still haunt my nightmares... Brrrrr!

the other evening I was at the pub with some buds and was talking about, among others, Ju-on, and in a pub filled with people and music, I got goosebumps heads to toes even talking about some scenes. you've got to call that a masterpiece.

Watched it today. It was a perfect movie-choice for Sunday afternoon. Very funny, very cool. I think I'm beginning to like Clive Owen.

that film is so awesome it cannot be described without a Desert Eagle and a carrot :-)

Note: As far as 3:10 To Yuma was concerned,

Spoiler

I believe the reason that he helped at the end was that he decided that it was the right thing to do, and once that was in his mind, he was resolved, period. And I think that he killed his own gang because he realized he had created something wicked beyond his control, an evil thing that had just struck down someone good and noble, and since it was his own creation, he needed to be the one to destroy it.

Spoiler

You got that impression of him? I stick more to the view that he was moved by Bale's need to impress his son, and his principles, and also in some ways just liked him. Crow did however, not give a rats ass about his gang. He was a fulky fledged psycho after all

"No Country for Old Men" won the Oscar for best picture tonight. I loved that movie.

Still haven't seen Cloverfield.

[Aptorian]

Seriously? It won the oscar? Bah... It really wasn't that good.

EDIT: It won 4 oscars... I get why the supporting role won, I guess the adaption of a screenplay was deserved aswell, maybe even the directors prize but I seriosly don't understand the best picture one. What about Transformers?

[Optimus Prime]

I disagree.

There wasn't a lot of competition this year.

True to that.

I think the movie was a little slow in some aspects.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Transformers FTW.

Hot girl, the camera consistenly is drawn to breasts (we had fun pointing that out last night, coincidentally), the graphics are fucking amazing, and it has Optimus Prime.

OPTIMUS PRIME!!!1!!

I watched Vantage Point this past weekend... clicky for the review...

I had no complaints - its an unpretentious popcorn movie that is fun to see so long as you don't start, you know, intellectualizing/ trying to spot plot holes.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Saw Be Kind Rewind the other day.

It was good. Not great, but good. Let down by a weak ending and the storyline in general. If they'd have focussed lots more time on the making of the movies, it would have been brilliant. As it was, they only spent about 20/30mins on it, and the rest on a rubbish story about a fat piano player and saving a crap old building. But still 7/10, as the middle made me laugh lots.

I disagree with this. Not even good for a popcorn flick.

Easily 1/3rd of the movie, up to maybe a half of it it's just re-filmed stuff we have already seen. Now, this could be a good idea in theory, and worked for maybe the first 2 people. After that, it was boring and left me wondering when they were going to move on already. The last 15-20 minutes or so is original stuff, and not even good original stuff.

The movie also left 2 glaring things that just pissed off, not plot holes per se, but places where my suspension of disbelief snapped.

Why the hell would secret service agents be randomly firing their gun into a already panicked crowd?

The terrorists hahve no problem suicide bombing a hotel, blowing up a crowded square, cold blooded murder, kidnapping, etc, etc but shy away from running down a girl while making their get away? Come on.

That girl is smoking hot TT, so I agree with you

@Hume--yeah the movie had some slow parts, but it was so damn tense!

As I said, don't try to spot plot holes; keep your brain outside the theater, then get swept away (you have to try a bit). Then you'll like it.

Normally I'd agree with that, but even with my brain shut off, it wasn't very good. Normally I enjoy me my mindless action flicks, but this one missed the mark.

[Anomander Rake]

Just watched Simone (s1m0ne) on channel film four. It was a much much better movie than I was expecting and I found myself laughing quite a bit.

[Elan Morin Tedronai]

For the fans, the first SG-1 movie, Ark Of Truth, is now available for erm... 'purchase'

Just watched it, and a worthy ending of the Ori storyline imo

[Aptorian]

Watched Anger management and Night at the Museum tonight. Anger was okay for an Adam Sandler film. Museum was actually very good for a Ben Stiller film.

Normally I don't like the films they make, they're often just too bad or lame to appeal to my sense of humor. I was pleasantly surprised and the girl was all "next time you can pick the movies".

Do you think she'll be surprised when i put ANAL MONSTER 7 on the dvd next week?

[RodeoRanch]

I'm rather guiltily looking forward to "10 000 BC." It looks absolutely idiotic but I'm in the mood for a massively epic film, regardless of quality.

[Aptorian]

I agree it looks really stupid and really awesome at the same time.

[caladanbrood]

I'm thinking mostly really stupid, in the vein of Apocalypto. Hoping to be proved wrong though.

Odeon boycotted Rambo because they're stingy bastids, so I saw Semi-Pro yesterday, for free thanks to cinema-working friend. It was amusing, is the way of all Will Ferrell films, and I was chuckling most of the way through, but nothing too spectacular.

[Slum]

So I tried to watch "There Will Be Blood" last night, but I fell asleep again. Second time in a row that's happened with that movie, and I wasn't drunk either time. The movie's interesting, and shot really well, but for some reason it just puts me to sleep. I usually like Anderson's stuff, excluding Punch Drunk Love, that is.

I did like "August Rush." --- I'm a sucker for musical prodigies.

And "Michael Clayton" was decent but not spectacular.
