Sinister is good but the Conjuring is a much better ghost movie IMO. The reveal isn't bad at all. The reveal in Insidious was fucking TERRIBLE though.

Sinister really is good, and the ending was pretty fucking effective in my opinion. Conjuring was a better haunted house movie, like Rob said.Comment

Too bad. I was interested in it. And the reviews are trashing it bad.BACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONComment

I want Wally Pfister to have all the success in the world, but yeah that doesn't look good.
Just got back from The Raid 2. It's sadly too bloated in the middle, but it's incredibly well made and the final act has 3 action scenes in a row that one up each other. There's a fight in this that is one if the most intense and brutal I've ever seen. The violence in this is next fucking level. One girl in my screening was so upset by it, she was crying towards the end!I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.Comment

So The Raid 2 has abortion-troma level of violence? Consider me SOLD.Originally posted by Ben Thomas View PostBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONComment

There were some serious fidgets throughout, as well as bouts of nervous laughter and one incident of spontaneous applause (almost unheard of over here). It's horrific at times.
Not a criticism.I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.Comment

It wants to be Un Prophete, and fails, but it's an excellent follow up in regards to the action. DAT CAR CHASE DOEOriginally posted by Ben Thomas View PostComment

Un Prophete is a good comparison - I was trying to think of what it reminded me of and only got as far as Infernal Affairs, but it's going for something more artfully mounted than that a lot of the time, so Audiard is an interesting choice.
Having not seen Only God Forgives, I sort of got the feeling that this provides what the people that were let down by that film were looking for. Fair? It is trying to be more than just an action film. And for all its faults, the look and camerawork throughout is impeccable. It's a really good-looking film, especially in its quieter moments.I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.Comment

And yeah - the car chase is brilliant. I'm glad it didn't go on forever as well. Its a big sequence and punishing and then it's done - an extension of the close quarters fighting style, with the cars as opponents CONTAINING other sets of opponents.I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.Comment

I don't know about comparing Only God Forgives. That was the same kind of film Refn has always has made, people just had some other idea because the hype behind Drive...which was very similar to Only God Forgives.Originally posted by Ben Thomas View Post
It's a lazy comparison, but Gareth was trying to make his Godfather II. Bigger scope. Intertwining stories. Less of your "hero."Comment
