Merged: The Movies Thread

[over the mountain]

1408 was alright i guess. started off pretty strong with a good premise/canvas for a good thriller but fizzled half way through.

get him to the greek was pretty funny, wish i had watched the hard word instead though.

I watched it the other night...what an awesome horror movie...it was disturbing and the end was shocking. I was kinda laughing at certain scenes in the movie but the wife wasn't amused.

Two thumbs up!

Hahaha, so this isn't date-night material? I actually screened this for my department's Halloween movie night Friday... mostly college kids in attendance. One girl got really mad at the end and wondered why I showed it. Nearly everyone was impressed that it didn't go where they expected it to. Here's the controversial reaction from Sundance (nsfw and mild spoilers contained):

Mredskins, I watched Hall Pass with the lady last night. Definitely wasn't that great. Lucky for us I only spent $1.25 (thanks Redbox price hike) to watch it. Also, and spoiler alert for those who have seen it, there was too much unnecessary dick in it.

Ah never seen it but thanks for telling me about it.

My screen name for the record is mredskins I am not Mr. Redskins or Mredskins. I only use m becasue my name is Matt so the M just refers to my first name.

Not to single you out Mooby common mistake. It can be confusing.

I have yet to see the film but I can imagine what it is like, most likely horror porn. I am huge huge horror film buff and quit honestly I agree with the guy in the video. Horror porn to me is a waste there is no value it doesn't scary me (the whole point of horror films) it just makes me want to puke.



Movies like:

The Exorcist
Let the Right One In
The Ring
Halloween (First One)
etc...

Are all good horror films with some gore in it but there is a story line and it scares you. This horror porn shit has no story line it is all about lets see how gross we can be. Basically it is porn instead of no story line and just sex scenes, it is no story line and just gore scenes.

IF that is your cup of tea great but it sucks becasue it has watered down the horror genre of actually scary good movies.

Best part of the film is when the guy who is trying to clam him down says "Can I just please finish one sentence?" and the complaining guy says "I doubt it." Had me rolling.

This probably the worst of the worst of the horror porn:

A Serbian Film (Srpski Film) - Official Trailer - YouTube

I have never seen and never will but have heard it is quit horrible.

I've seen it and the uncut version... I'd highly advise most of you guys to stay away from this one haha.

I'd have to say this is unlike what most consider "torture porn." There's actually a really interesting story in The Woman. Most brainless torture porns get slammed by critics... The Woman got an 80% on RT.

I'd also argue that my favorite horror movie, Martyrs, is often mistaken as torture porn.

I believe I am confusing you for someone else, who told me they saw Hall Pass and it was disappointing (in another thread.) Which if is the case, then my bad. Also I will remember that you prefer mredskins in the future.

Because my screen name is mooby, and not Mooby, I understand it's a common mistake. JK but honestly idc whether or not you capitalize the first letter, for me it's just a habit because I don't like starting out sentences uncapitalized.

[mooby]

mredskins, I am thinking of mlmpetert. Definitely my bad, I really hope I didn't spoil anything important for you. I would edit that part out if I could, but I can't because the edit option expired lol.

Saw Everything Must Go a couple nights ago. Definitely not up to par with Will Ferrell's comedies, also don't be fooled by the previews as the comedic moments are spread highly thin. Not really that interesting, and pretty average in my book.

Also saw The Human Centipede yesterday as well, for those who say it's gruesome I mean the movie itself isn't as gruesome as the idea behind the title is. The first one really just sets up the second one apparently. Gonna watch the second one soon, heard it's wayyyyyyyy more gory than the first.

The director apparently received feedback from audiences that the first one was "tame." I saw the second one. He made up for it.

I would have told that idiot get the steppin after a few seconds! I take it he watched the whole movie and for that I wonder why since the movie was disgusting and disturbing from the beginning?

I finally got to watch The Devil's Double...good movie.
