wow you got to be kiddin me... Didn't you find the plot totally stupid ??? I mean it's an organisation searching for martyrs.... I mean come on ! Plus the "violent-gore" scenes aren't so violent nor gore. A real deception. |

Well maybe I could give it 4/5 (I rated it 9/10 on IMDB), but I wanted to provide nice contrast to your low opinion of this movie. I thought it was a very fresh take on the genre. It managed to complete surprise me by the unpredictable plot twists, not once, but at least twice. Seeing it on the big screen made a lasting impact. The use of sound and visual tricks in the movie is really clever at parts. More than that, I thought the plot, although maybe far-fetched, was very provocative and unconventional. And like I said, the film constantly surprises the viewer by adding another layer to the story. This film is like shock therapy, and I thought all the violence and stuff was there for a reason, unlike in many popular gore movies like Saw or Hostel. It has a nice sense of intimacy and flow, like everything is unfolding right in front of your eyes. It almost feels like a theatre play, with all the different actors coming in and out of view. I can see this film as something that will leave people either completely cold or very happy. I guess I'm in the latter camp. I took the film seriously, maybe too seriously, but it's very rare for a horror-gore film to have that kind of effect. What I most liked about it was the unconventionality and surprising elements in the narrative of the film, and the way it infuses spirituality and much-needed "fresh blood" into a worn genre. I thought all the ridiculous plot parts were hilarious! If you think the film wasn't violent enough for you, well, I have a few snuff films to sell you... |

iria - zeiram the animation 8/10 this early 90´s animated 6ep animation has some nice characters. the balance between fun and serious story is well balanced. and! the action is fully animated and not just still people flying around (big point in my eyes) good stuff! |

Ok. Well the part with the old lady is where I totally lost it when she gives all the explanation on the martyrs. I've seriously never seen a plot twist that radically stupid where you find it "hilarious". Plus I forgot to say the acting was soooo bad. I mean maybe you've seen it in english and they did a good job on the voices but in french they just play like in a low budget TV-movie... That's a constant problem with french actors acting. And please tell me what you found really violent ? The tortures scenes resume to one guy beating up the lady (and mostly seen from behind...) and force-feeding her. Then what ? they remove her skin (you don't see it neither). The only "decent" part is the murder of the family at the beginning, but then the acting is so terrible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well, maybe my poor understanding of French prevented me from making some critical observations... But anyway, it wasn't so much the narrative story that interested me, but the way scenes and events and characters flowed into each other moment by moment... There was so much I didn't expect. The grandma Nazi stuff, of course, was highly ridiculous, but I sincerely applaud the whole direction the film takes towards the end, it's just so outrageous and weird and unexpected. In OTHER news, I just saw Satoshi Kon, the director of Paprika and Millennium Actress, answer audience's questions here in Helsinki. They also screened those two movies, but I'd seen them before so I didn't stick around, although I love them both. Then they also showed the first episode of Paranoia Agent, which was gripping enough to make me want to see the rest of the series; and a 2-minute short called "Ohayoo" (nothing special). Anyway, here's some interesting info to fans of anime: - Indeed, he's working on a new anime. It won't come out any time soon, and it doesn't have an international name yet, but the rough translation of the working title is something like "Robots That Dream" (sounds vaguely Philip K. Dick-esque, no?). It wants to be something different from his previous movies. It is suitable even for younger audiences, although it won't exactly be a kiddies' film. Heard it here first! - He will continue to work with the composer Susumu Hirasawa. Good. - In response to my question of what are some of his own favourite anime films or directors of recent years, he answered very politically by saying that because of professional rivalry issues, he didn't want to get into choosing and picking favourites or criticizing others. - One of his constant themes is the contrast between "reality" and "dreams" or "illusions". He said that today's society doesn't want to deal with things like dreams, but that life is often controlled by these more subtle aspects of consciousness. /End of report! |

I really hope I feel differently about this movie. I thought Casino Royale was a great reset for the series. I was worried about it being a Goldeneye, though. Goldeneye was a pretty good one and showed promise for Pierce, but then the rest were kinda crap for the most part. Diamonds are Forever, really? That was probably the cheekiest Connery one that I can remember. |

The Mist - 9/10 Why on earth wasn't this given a proper release when Saw 9 manages to get cinema release? I had heard the ending was good but didn't expect that at all, one of the best endings in recent memory! |

I saw that recently too, enjoyed it. Plenty of nice haunting imagery near the end. , I can't believe this movie exists, an inspiring work by a self-assured Renaissance man. |

|

really? yeah i despise saw and can't believe things like this don't do a lil better, but it's definitely no more than a 6/7 at most. the whole thing was enjoyable enough but not great, non of it was doing anything new. the end felt like an excuse for a dramatic conclusion. i liked it enough i just wouldn't really be interested in watching again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i kind of agree, i watched it a second time and it didn't have the same impact, i think the ending ramped up my rating. Thinking back yeah it is probably a 6/7. I watched Baraka again the other day on blu-ray...still up there in my top 10 films of all time and the only film i have ever rated 10/10 on IMDB. |

Apocalypto 5/5. Mel Gibson has really acquired a style of his own. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i keep meaning to watch this but have been put off by all the mixed reviews... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Alot of people complain about the fact that Mel Gibson's a rather conservative christian, and has apparantly said some bad things in the past. Some complain that it's (the film) too violent. But both points are, I find, beside the point. What we have here, in Apocalypto, is a great adventure film, that is violent, yes, but that's for the sake of the film, and not mere sensationalism. The cinematography's gorgeous, it has great acting, and like in The Passion of the Christ (in which they speak Aramic), they speak Mayan through the whole film. No silly broken english! If you want a powerful cinematic experience that feels real, I'd really suggest to you to see it, pantalaimon. |

La Haine - 2.5/5 |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

God! I never should have paid to see that. I have many questions but the film was so pointless I hardly care to have them answered. What was with the nauseating closeups and crazy editing in the action sequences? Did Michael Bay change his name to Marc Forster without telling anyone? fucking Quagmire of Salisbury. I immediately watched 'From Russia With Love' when I got home to get the bitter taste out of my mouth. 0.5/5 |

i'm sorry, i forgot that you care so much about my ratings. i will try harder to find faults in these films i happened to massively enjoy. the fact that ive seen a number of outstanding films recently doesn't mean the next few must now by law be disappointing. where do i go from here? ive yet to see JFK and Nixon so maybe those are up soon. |
