Secret Ninja Movie Club (aka what have you watched lately)

[hubb]

Anyone that could suggest a mandatory anime list?

[syrup]

Need for speed - well... pretty much what i expected, really shite, nice cars though.

Kill Bill 1,2 - it was alright, good watch

Grand Budapest Hotel - really nice movie, i especially liked the set/cameras/whatever the general feeling of the film

[DiegoSapiens]

If you liked the aestethic of hotel budapest you should see more wes anderson films johney especially Life Acuatic!

Hubb i think froobs did a thread
Not a big anime fan personally apart from studio ghibli anc cowboy bebop

[DiegoSapiens]

I saw an anime film of space motorbike runners that wax very original too

[hubb]

yeah thanks but those sort of anime threads are mostly people that don't mind the bad bits about anime. It would be cool to get it from more just a film perspective.
tbh ghost in the shell and akira can stand next to classic film, but there's a long way inbetween.

I really liked Metropolis which takes inspiration from the silent one. But outside of that I've not seen a huge amount so not much to compare it to tbh.

Saw Blue is the Warmest Colour this morning. Well worth a watch, a deserving Palme winner

[kaili]

just watch oldboy (2003 version). holy shit havent seen a film that good in ages

Her (2013)
Slept a bit on this one. I liked it but then again I wasn't blown away by it either. Good concept and visually quite stunning! It was a bit melodramatic for my taste though.


The Rover (2014)
At first I was tempted to say not as good as Animal Kingdom, but then after letting it sink in a bit, it was a damn good movie! Pattinson was unconvincing (but it could have been worse) but I'm really a big fan of Guy Pierce (except for his Blasphemous inclusion in Brometheus). It's no mad max copy either, far from it. I've seen so many good Australian movies recently (Van Diemen's Land and Snowtown being the absolute winners). Not perfect, but all in all one of the better bits I've seen this year along with Nebraska (technically 2013) and Locke.

Still have to see Lucy and Guardians sometime....

paprika is good

also, saw ichi the killer!!

[wub]

Outland

Space western. Classic.


The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Enjoyed how it was filmed, chubby Jeremy Renner was jokes.


Expendables 3

Holy christ, this was ridiculously over the top Was enjoyable in a stupid kind of way. They pushed Rousey HARD in this one.


The Last Stand

Also very stupid. The poster tells you everything you need to know about this film's tone.

[wub]

This looks jokes in an utterly shite way

[ezza]

wtf is this lol

can anyone explain?

looked kinda cool i guess

[Lystric]

it's kinda like an artsy sci-fi film. pretty trippy, I'd recommend it too. I reckon best not to know too much about it, I had no idea going in.

[wolf89]

I thought it was pretty good. Not quite as amazing as some of my mates made it out to be but still decent.

[ezza]

so its a film about nothing lol

sick

it was alright, cool to watch i guess. made no sense whatsoever still

[hubb]

edge of tom cruise

pretty bad/amazing 1700/2243

[wolf89]

so its a film about nothing lol

sick

How does it make no sense? The plot it pretty simple to be honest.

[ezza]

there was no plot lol

please explain it

[DiegoSapiens]

Noo! I want ti watch it without knowing wat isit about

[Lystric]

what I've watched in the last few weeks, just one line write ups this time

2001 A Space Odyssey - mindblowing, a definite must-see
Cinema Paradiso - surprisingly interesting and moving, the long version is where its at
Ip Man and Ip Man 2 - awesome, doesn't fully stick to the truth but damn they were good fun
The Savages - funny yet moving, Hoffman nails yet another movie
Everything Must Go - had it's moments, but fairly simple comedy/drama combo
Dom Hemmingway - funny in parts but overall not really worth it
