What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Ben Thomas]

Seeing a midnight screening tonight. Spoiler free so far...

The first 45 minutes is great.

David Tennant does nothing for me in anything I've seen him in (Can't get Micheal Sheen? Get Tennant) and the arrival of awful CG after Farrell burns the house down completely ruins the remainder of the film for me.

Maybe Grimm has me numb to terrible CG but I didn't think it was too bad. It wasn't distracting, at any rate. And I thought everyone in that region of the planet was contractually obligated to like Tennant because of Dr. Who. Is that not the case? I liked him here but that might have been because they were kind of calling out Criss Angel on his terrible bullshit.

I really liked how they departed from the original. The room and fight at the end were neat.

I enjoyed the movie too, grave. Others didn't. Oh well.

Jerry being all like "HEY GUISE I'MMA VAMP KTHXBAI" annoyed me. Needed more Tennant.

Cabin in the Woods is the fucking goods you guys.

I can't top this.

See this film, if you have even a passing interest in horror. Its genuinely inventive (Rob's right, even when you know what's coming it somehow still surprises you) and just oodles and oodles of fun. There is some insane shit in this film and it actually scratched something off my bucket list:

  Spoiler: 3rd act spoiler 

See a man impaled by a unicorn. Fuck. Yes.

I laughed a lot during this, which surprised me. Mostly out of sheer holy fuckness, but also due to a really witty script and some good casting. Whitford especially was really good in this, but I liked the whole cast, which is something I never say about teen-centric horror films.

Having not read any spoilers and judging by the trailers this looks like Cube with a monster forcing the "rats" to make mistakes through the maze.

50/50.

[Ben Thomas]

Its way better than that. Its better than Cube, frankly, which was a good idea with so-so execution. Here, its the execution that separates it from the pack.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Special When Lit:A Pinball documentary


Not too shabby. It takes a while to pick up steam but I enjoyed this documentary. Learned alot about pinball that I had no idea about ( like it being illegal for a good chunk of time prior to the 70's). It's on instant.

The Raid

I won't mention Redemption part of the title, since it just retarded a US studio bullshit name that's not part of the real titile.

So, yes the story is a bit thin and generic, but people, WOULD YOU STILL LIKE TO SEE THE BEST ACTION MOVIE OF THE DECADE? On that part, it's impecable, and a complete masterpiece.

Yes, masterpiece. That word has to be used here. You may or may not connect with the story, but unless you just suffered an aneurysm, anyone bitching about the action scenes and the impecable fighting (finally a feature showing how deadly a knife really is!) should be beaten for their own good.

Actually they had to tack on "Redemption" because of some licensing shit. The director said it was changing the whole title or adding a subtitle, and they had already spent time and money marketing it as "The Raid" so he randomly picked "Redemption" because alliteration is fun.

Trademark issue from what I read. But who cares about the rule of law? amirite?

I know, but the whole licensing issue is retarded. I'm sure ain't blaming the director, but therE's a lot of case where 2 movies have the same name....

And it's a minor issue to this great flick. I remember Hocken saying on Facebook that the fights in The Raid were as good as the one in They Live. Proof he's Hocken. Sure, it's a legendary fight, but only because IT NEVER FUCKING ENDS. Technically, it's not very good...
