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

[noam]

I'm watching Hunger Games it looks shit so far but I have nothing else to watch and streaming doesn't work on this internet connection

Could watch Beyond the Black Rainbow again I suppose

didn't make it to the end of that twice, forgot about it and never tried again

actually any good??

[capo ultra]

I honestly don't know

I love it I mean what's not to love, it looks visually amazing, it's got that sterile retro-futuristic laboratory style from the first two cronenberg movies mixed with elements of his later body horror stuff crossed with holy mountain, scored by John Carpenter-esque analogue synth

but I have to agree with these reviews from rotten tomatoes:

"Beyond the Black Rainbow" has a doomy, dreamy, druggy, draggy feel that's impressively sustained - until it becomes oppressive, then pointless, then laughable.

The movie looks like it was lit by lava lamps, scored on Moog synthesizers, written between bong hits and acted underwater. None of this is meant as praise.

Oh my god, and the director's dad was the guy that directed Cobra and Rambo II, I thought I'd heard the name before. Unreal!

Watched The Raid the other night, it was mental. Sucks I couldnt see it in the Cinema as it wasnt showing anywhere in the whole county. Fucking kent..

Anyways I have this to watch tonight, saw it at a mates but wanted to watch it again as it really is mental and has some crazy shots from dessert running and so on

I last watched Brick about a year ago, didn't really enjoy not get it. Watched it a few nights back and I love it.

Been watching the Bourne films through again too, need some of that badassery in amongst these indie films

yeah, it takes place where i live actually, and i still never could get into it. one scene was filmed a minute's walk from my place

It's a weird one, but when I watched it again I noticed little things that I really liked. For example, there's barely any characters. Not even many background characters at all across a lot of the film, so it -to me- played out like a book on screen in that the story is very insular and there's no background distractions interfering with the main plot. Its hard to explain, but aye it's a top film.

I think i prefer the second one, its got that comedy lanky guy

Yeah i finally saw the original (far after seeing the others), thought it was SO boring.....Probably would have been better if i had seen it first.

Wrath of the Titans.
I just love Toby Kebbell as Agenor so much.

The Good, The Bad & The Weird


Awesome Korean western, recommend.

Watched The Bridge (documentary on people who commit suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge). I thought it was pretty interesting, definitely worth a watch.

[OfficialDAPT]

Johnny English: Reborn....... I think that's all I have to say.
