Movies The Movie Thread! - Continuation

[MiyamotoMusashi]

There are a lot of great movies between 2000 and 2010, at least if you look beyond Hollywood.

Trailer for Sin City 2:


Are we impressed/eager to see it? Thoughts?

@Babs: is this what you're talking about? ^^

 

[Koshi_Inaba]

^Love it, can't wait for it. Still can't believe I was only entering high school when the 1st movie came out, such a long time.

If you got at least 10 that I missed, please list or PM me. Really like other's opinions.

Since you seem to be aware of Asian stuff, let´s go for other regions:

4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days
Pianist of course (though it is partly American)
The Lives of Others
Pan´s Labyrinth
Amelie
Dogville
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Dancer in the Dark
Talk to Her (Hable con ella)
Slumdog
La Pianiste
City of God
A Prophet
In the mood for love
El secreto de sus ojos (The secret in their eyes)
Downfall

These are great titles that were really memorable to me, so they came to mind pretty quickly but i reckon i could name a lot more if i would take a while.

I do not recommend Oldboy at all. Cheap production. Wanna be tarantino movie at best. Lame story to top it off.

 

[Schabrak]

It was clear from the get got that it would be a desaster. First it's a remake, wah wah wah wahhh. Secondly the poster design was stolen or rather the designer wasn't paid a dime. Third, it had an incestious plot and I can hardly imagine an us prodution handling it like the SKs can. As good or bad as Brolin was in other movies, he is a nobody compared to Min-sik Choi.

Just seen Crows: Episode 0, an adaption of the manga Crows by Kenichiro Naitou, featuring a different cast and was later adapted into it's own manga. Not sure how I could have missed it back in 07/08 and it being directed one of jaoans best, Takashi Miike.

Spoiler

I liked how there was no evil antagonist, only different parties with their own goals.

Really looking forward to this movie. More so than any others I could think of.

I thought you hated McConaughey?

Nolan film, good cast...looks good to me.

"Hated" is a strong word.

And I barely noticed who the actors were. I was more interested in the idea and story of the trailer.

Well, I went to wikipedia, just like I would hope you would. The trailer is way too vague and odd, considering the concept of the movie, perhaps. But I'll look forward to it.

The Incredibles is finally getting a sequel and in lesser news, so is Cars; with its third installment.

 

[xi0]

Gawd, not to be a curmudgeon...but I really couldn't care less about these Pixar/Dreamworks movies. Everything looks the same, it's just...bleh

 

[goldb]

Cars I don't care about, but Incredibles I really enjoyed. At the time it came out, Pixar had maybe 4-5 films under its belt and ideas were still fresh I guess. But in general, I'd say I liked all but A Bug's Life and the Cars franchise. Dreamworks, I'm not sure about lol.

I watched a lot of the early ones, but it's over-saturation at this point. It's too much, and it doesn't help that I prefer traditional animation anyway. I'm just sick of hearing about Frozen everywhere I look.

 

[goldb]

LOL I've not seen Frozen but yes, I know what you mean. I still prefer the Disney movies over anything, Lion King is still one of the things ever made.

Well I didn't like him either, he was the sunny boy in bad movies until the one where he plays a... Eh lawyer I think, than the one at the lake with the boy, can't remember the name. And now he even won an Oscar with his newest performance. Is there really a person on this planet, who would have thought that he would reach that level some five to ten years ago? I surely did not.

Cars, planes.. where is the boats spin-off? Just joking, I wish they would stop doing them, even if the second cars movie was a little bit entertaining,

I meant as in now, his recent work. He was in Dazed and Confused, Contact, then for like a decade he was just that pretty dumbass in every terrible romantic comedy made. Then he made Lincoln Lawyer, was in Magic Mike, a few other films. Now his stint on True Detective and Dallas Buyer's Club. He's brilliant now IMO.

They're not.

It was a great movie, but I don't think you would enjoy/appreciate it.

Oh, by the way, I saw Divergent with my mom tonight. It was pretty shitty.

Of course I didn't read the book, but I never intended to anyway.

They're not.

...okay?

Meaning what?
