Friday the 13th: Jason takes Manhattan
was a horrible tv cut. I dont have a problem with gory death scenes being cut, but in a movie that's about them it was kinda strange...
The movie itself was enjoyable, though nobody seems to care about logic or a plot at all lol

At the moment, Gran Torino, but if I post this time tomorrow, it will have been Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, which I'm seeing tonight!!!!
I need some help with the movie.
When Reader was nominated for Oscar I put it into my Netflix queue. Then I wanted to get a book and description of the book sounded freaking disgusting to me.
I forgot to re-arrange my queue and so now movie is on the way to me.
Can somebody please let me know if they would recommend this movie knowing the fact that I won't be able to watch the movie where there is implicit or explicit mention of the sexual acts between the adult and a minor.
Please help - right now I feel like turning around and just sending it right back but maybe movie isn't truly based on the book.

RHPS ... but before Sunday it was Ice Age 3 - though I went on my own because no one else was interested (and I can't watch movies with people who don't want to watch!)! I wasn't too keen on it to start, but it picked up in the middle - and largely for Buck's part I thought it was probably better than the previous two. Loved the POTC references (but then, I am a big fan of POTC, lol)
Not going to see HP until next week - my friends insist it'll be quieter and less full of children by then!

Gran Torino was a great film. It's hard to believe a film about a grumpy old man can be so entertaining only Clint Eastwood could pull it off. It's also pretty damn funny at times too, but has a sad ending. I heard it was going to be Clint Eastwood's last acting role too.
The last film I seen was "The Green Mile" to me it's one of the best films of all time. The first time I seen it I was nearly in tears. Stephen King is a genius.

03 Aug 2009, 18:05
never understood the lord of the rings hype...
I've tried to watch the trilogy several times, but always gave up half way through.
There's just another battle, and another evil wizard, and another battle, and another mysterious mountain pasage, and another battle, and so on... I never really got the point of all those battles. It's not like Star Wars were every battle was an important point to the plot. LOTR always seemed to ma as if someone said 'hey lets pile another battle on top....this time let them fight....erm, how about orcs?' and through that process forgot the actual plot of the movie.
Evil One
03 Aug 2009, 18:34
I can pretty much agree with that. I struggle to get through one LOTR film in one sitting, let alone watching all three back to back. However I can appreciate that it is very well done, just too long and meandering. Then again I've never read any of the books.
AndrewG
03 Aug 2009, 18:37
Same here on LOTR but then I also don't like Harry Potter. Guess I just don't like the "Fantasy" thing but I certainly do think these movies are WAYYY overrated. In my humble opinion these movies don't work on the same level as many films that get such ratings on IMDB, ie it just doesn't have something in it for everyone. I think it is a far too specific genre for that.

Star wars IV - A new hope (2004 version)
While the movie itself is still one of the best scifi films ever, I'm not sure what to make of Goerge Lucas' endless reworks of it.
In the cantina scene, now Greedo shoots first, to make Han Solo look like less of a reckless killer.
I dont have a problem with better digital effects, but as soon as someone tries to change the story/plot/characters of a classic like SW theyre definitely going too far.
AndrewG
04 Aug 2009, 15:10
Probably put back to how it was for the Blu Ray release later this year. They put it back in the 2007 DVD release but I think that one was only on sale for short period and didn't they put that young guy in the ghost bit at the very end of the trilogy in that release?? I don't know. Maybe it's on the version I've got too but I've never watched the DVDs.
It's all a load of bollox that Sar Wars re-release nonsense imo. Don't get me wrong it was great seeing the films in the cinema in 1997 but there are indeed too many versions now.

This is probably going to make me unpopular but I don't like Star Wars! I've seen the original films plenty of times and I've never really enjoyed them. I thought all three of the new films were :shit:.
allrevvedup
04 Aug 2009, 17:41
For me, the original three especially the empire strikes back were the best.
I think Lucas left himself with way too much to do in the last of the prequels but even then that was probably the better of the three. I think he should have made it exactly the same way as the original three in that he directed the first and then got others in to direct the other two.
I get annoyed at some of the additions, Han Solo and Greedo is one in particular that is annoying and looks terrible as well, but hey it's up there as some of the great films ever made and has influenced countless other films.
Look more recently at the new Star Trek film and you can see tons of Star wars type scenes and set designs.
There's Star Wars references in each the the three LOTR films that RJ detests so much as well.
The problem with the prequels is that the basic storyline got lost in all the dross that was put in to backup the marketing and sales campaign of toys and :shit: that ran alongside the films to help generate the revenue to pay for making the films.
RadioMaster
04 Aug 2009, 19:09
star wars references dont make a bad movie a good one ;) (except for family guy's blue harvest :)))
I think the problem with the prequels was that they just tried too hard to make everything fit in with the old ones. you can see that especially with all the stuff they tried to pack into the last 30 mins of episode 3.
They paced the films completely wrongly I think. Spreading the story of the rise of the Empire and Anakin turning in to Darth Vader simultaneoulsy over three films, which resulted in both major storylines being dragged out. If they'd concentrated on the Empire storyline in the first film and a half and then had the Anakin appearance mid way through second half after the Clone Wars started then they could have paced it all better. Not every film needs a huge battle scene unless they want to sell toys, which I'm pretty sure is why they came out like they did.
RadioMaster
04 Aug 2009, 22:36
on that matter, has anyone seen that clone wars movie or the tv seriies?
i have seen neither, but it was my impression that they did both for two reasons: a) they couldnt get all they wanted into the last movie and b) more money of course.
Also, wasnt there something like a clone wars mini cartoon series between ep 1 and 2? there seems to be something at the back of my mind...

Yeah but you can say that about any trailer. Most Hollywood CGI filled movies these days have trailers which are much better than the movie themselves. Quick cuts and compressing a 2 hr movie into 2 minutes does wonders.

That's because a lot of Hollywood CGI films these days are two minute trailers stretched to fill a two hour film!

I think it's increadible what CGI was capable of 16 years ago, when most recent films dont even reach that level!
I think there is a difference between using CGI in a subtle/effective way and just using it as a tool if you don't have a story/reason for making a film. If you look closely at the T Rex scene in JP (which is absolutely amazing and one of the best bits of Hollywood cinema I can think of) the blend between the CGI dino and the real half T Rex puppet they had has been done extremely well, it just looks incredibly real. They pushed the envelope in many ways, not just CGI but having an electric dino puppet been blasted by rain etc.
Just filling the screen with endless CGI created landscapes such as they have done in GI Joe doesn't do much for me anymore (I agree the first time it was impressive in the mid 90s). I sincerely hope it completely stops as it is just not impressive anymore imo, just boring and stupid.
Actually come to think of it. Compare Jurassic Park to King Kong (2005 remake) and you will probably see what I mean. JP is awesome and scary and well thought out, King Kong is such a load of shit and it is just stupid.
RadioMaster
17 Aug 2009, 18:48
the thing is, you gotta know where to stop. CGI was way more complicated in 1993, so they only used it where they couldnt use puppets, and even there only in a way that it helps the story, not that it becomes the story.
While today it seems many moviemakers just wanna show off what they can do with CGI, and that becomes inredibly annoying. (-> anyone remember Jar Jar Binks?)

Having spent the weekend decorating the kitchen, they were:
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, (the kids have been playing Lego Indiana Jones on the PS3, I was inspired - what can I say?) Contact, Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Hellboy, and Dead Poets Society.
It's been a long weekend.
Yes, it is actually a very good movie, one of the best ones that I have seen lately.

Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds
One of the best flicks this year hands down. The bad guy is one of the scariest bad guys ever. Fantastic acting throughout. Great lengthy dialogues, typical Tarantino. Wish there were more movies like this, rather than the 2 second cuts MTV style CGI flick stuff.
Also watched a bit of Whale Rider on BBC2 again. Still great. Has it been 7 years already?, bloody hell.

looks like I'll have to go and watch it after all. I usually like Tarantino, but I'm not into war movies. But everyone says it's not a typical war movie... I'll see...

Lesbian Vampire Killers.
Hilarious, in a lads mag kind of way, a film that runs from one-liner to one-liner and once it's finished you can't remember a single funny line in it.

Didnt really think it was that great, but I guess that's often the case with 'cult classics'.
Was still enjoyable though. The humour and random cutaways somehow reminded me of Family Guy, and I think Wayne's World might has been heavily influenced by this movie.

I found it rather boring in places. I guess twenty years later we're used to being spoiled with fast driving action thriller plots that a movie like that doesnt really have the same impression anymore. Especially with The Dark Knight, essentially the same movie, around.
