remarKs Movie Thread
 

I'm going to update this thread with current films I've watched.

1) mother

Language: Korean
Writer/Director: Joon-ho Bong

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,317_.jpg

Just watched this film last night and it was bizarre in the best way possible. It's about a mother who has an unhealthy relationship with her somewhat mentally ill son. When her son is arrested for the murder of a young woman and essentially framed... the mother sets out to find the real culprit behind the crime, prepared to take down anyone in her path.

RATING: 9/10

2) LIMITLESS

Director: Neil Burger
Writer(s): Leslie Dixon (screenplay), Alan Glynn (novel)

I personally felt like this movie fell way short of anything substantial. It started off quite well with an almost whimsical feel, leading me to think it would be a strange and curious film with a good commentary behind it. Not at all.... Soon after it fell into the typical Hollywood structure, which to me isn't a bad thing... BUT it is when the plot is horrible. I didn't care about him being a writer and he didn't either apparently.... his stock market job is dull and boring, and he has no redemption what so ever.

If there is a commentary to this film, it could read as: "Do drugs and things will eventually pan out in the end"

RATING: 3/10

Last film i watched was 2-3 nights ago. Good luck Chuck. Jessica Alba was in it so it gets a stern RATING: 10/10

I watched 2 films recently Inception and Toy Story 3.... Toy story 3 was a really good finale to that trilogy, Inception was good but I think it was WAY overhyped, personally I prefered Source Code.

Why are you watching Korean flims, RemarK? Invest that 5 you spenda month for exclusive on Netflix.

I don't pay anything for exclusive, lol

and I have netflix

Jessica Alba? Nuff said! Lol Nah some "Non english" movies are entertaining. Bruce Lee for example, Apocolypto or w/e...but im a comedy freak! :D

I wanna see that for sure. I want to see 50/50 too.

Foreign films are preety damn good. I'll throw mine soon

I wanted to post all my reviews in the OP, but I can't include more than 4 images in one post apparently. So here's another...


3) The Thing

Director: Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.
Writer(s): Eric Heisserer, John W. Campbell Jr.

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,317_.jpg

For a prequel, this film was damn good. I liked the way it was done and even though it obviously doesn't compare to the original... I was interested the whole way through. I also liked how the film leaves off where the first one started... thought that was really cool. It way be filled with cheap thrills and some CGI that goes a little too far at moments, but I sort of loved it for that anyways. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the 1982 version.

RATING: 7/10

4) Let The Right One In

Language: Swedish
Director: Tomas Alfredson
Writer(s): John Ajvide Lindqvist (screenplay), John Ajvide Lindqvist (novel)

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...V1._SY317_.jpg

This film is beautiful on so many different levels. The actual shots are stunning and the relationship that evolves on screen between the two kids (who were amazing actors) is incredible. It evokes a certain emotional response that'll have you thinking about the film for days after watching it. I was referred to this film because of the remake, which was pretty awful if you compare it to this original. It's practically a shot by shot remake, but the characters are not even close to as dynamic. Also the performances were sub-par and the two had no chemistry IMO... which is sad because I liked what's her name.... "Hit Girl" from Kickass. So to be conclusive, "Let the Right One In" shits on "Let Me In" by a long shot.

RATING: 9/10

I Can Finally Differentiate Between Ticket And You Again
You're The Dude With Them College Movies, Right?
Anywho, Watch Threat Level Midnight

Ahahahahaha
If That Was Intended Then You Are Not So Unfunny After All

The Usual Suspects
The Only Movie Ever Where I Was Unable To Predict The Ending

Yeah, I've heard a lot about it.


I own that one... Amazing film.

Last flick i watched was horrible bosses. for what it is definate 10/10

im sorry but you lose credit rating Limitless a 3/10

I don't care what anybody says... that movies was crap.

It's like ohh, let's have this character undergo a downfall for being morally wrong and acting like a drug addict... Then we'll completely take away any type of resolution and add in some corny ass scene at the end to sum up what happened to him. His girl should have been left him too lol.....

5) Attack The Block

Writer/Director: Joe Cornish

UK FILM COUNCIL

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...V1._SY317_.jpg

This film was like visualizing those dreams you had when you were younger... when things were boring and you wish something exciting would happen. In this movie, a teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion. It's full of thrills, scares, and adventure mixed in with teenage-thugs. What more could you ask for? I loved what they did with the film even though some may call it amateurishly made. The effects were pretty damn cool and it had a good commentary on race & class within inner-city areas.

RATING: 8/10

Dopeeeeeee thread.

Thanks, I wish I could put all the reviews in the Original post... but it's too many pictures.

You should check out Attack The Block, Rule... I think you'd like that one.

Just watched a movie on NetFlix titled "Victim". It's a decent film. All I got to say is that whoever came up with the idea for this story was on one hell of a drug. Parts of this movie are very dark. Some parts just hurt to watch. It was a decent film overall though. Some parts were a bit predictable, but how the movie ends isn't what you expect.
I'd rate it a 6/10 stars.

I've been wanting to watch that one... I heard it's also comical in a dark way.

Ehh. It's not that comical. Like a moment or two maybe. & I just saw an add for an English version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I'm pretty excited to see that. & Mark, it's worth a watch. Pretty good watch. One part seriously made me cringe in pain at watching it. Even though it doesn't show it happen, what it implies makes you hurt in your manhood lol.

What happened with this thread. I wanted to see more
