Well, I watched the IT crowd season 1-3. HILIAROUS.

Defying Gravity (Silver recommends a good series! Its a first!)

 

Watched,

Sympathy for mr. Vengence

This movie is... wow. Its as emotionally draining as a shaksepearin play. Its good, its low budget, the acting is good. The main character never says a single word. And the story is damned dark with no happy ending for anybody.

 

Sympathy for Ms. Vengence

3rd movie in the trilogy, (first is oldboy haven't seen it)

Now this movie, has similar context/city and or region. IT shares some plot elements (might have started in old boy? dunno) But wow. The ending caught me by suprise, didn't see it coming. Unlike most movies that spoil the entire plot on the back of the box, this movie basically pulls together all the events that lead up to the ending spread through out the movie. Instead of saying 'ok this is what really happened, no GO'. It spins a tale of vengence, it tells you one side of the story, then you find out the truth of the story, And just when your about to go Hurrah! vengence at last! It does a 360 twist and will probably make most people go 'can't wait to see the blood start flying now!'.

Just for the record, it isn't an intensely gorey movie, suprisingly lacks gore in all reality. Its probably closer to say an 80s freddy flick then it is to Saw, but thats not to say its a slash flick at all. Not even close. Its like cinematic art, with a bit of blood used as paint. :P

 

Natural City

Wow... Are the koreans in love with shakespear or what? I haven't seent his much tragedy since.... well... You know, when movies started turning piss-poor and going for the alwaysg ood ending.

This movie is the spiritual successor to Blade runner, with a bit of Ghost in the Shell mixed into it. Its good, its got flaws but it is good.

 

Jet Li's Legend of the Red Dragon

Wow... this movie is freaking CHEESY!

Rofl, I mean you thought Shoot'em Up was stupid with him delivering a baby and cutting the umbellica cord with a bullet? This guys freaking fighting Ninjas with a spear, and a baby on his back jumping around like a kangaroo, while the baby's getting slapped in the face...

And thats not even going into the metalic chariot ninja guy who shows up and chucks sawblades at jet li. :P

 

Also, On netflix Watch Now, do not, under any circumstance touch the movie Battle in Heaven. The box art looked like American Beauty, the story could have been interesting, and hey, if all else fails it might have had some american pie-esque nudity right?

Wrong.

Imagine a movie where the plot is this.

Guy picks up girl from airport.

Goes home

Kidnaps her.

She dies.

The end.

Now stretch it out over 2 hours.

Throw in a few picture of a fat naked mexican guy.

And several 20 Minute + scenes of people just standing doing nothing, saying nothing.

 

This movie is beyond trash.

Plot sucks

Story sucks

Artistically it sucks

And the only thing that would save even most B movies, Nudity, Sucks. There is no good part about this movie! Do not watch! Its not even the kind of movie you'd want to put on with a group of friends and insult Mystery Science Theater 3000 style! Even those guys would say 'screw this'.

    Love the IT crowd, it's the perfect example of the british sense of humour, along with other ones like the mighty boosh.

    Love Harvey Birdman, but I've only seen the first two seasons

    The third season is harder to find for some reason

    Okay, just saw

    Gran Tourino - AWESOME movie. Had its funny (up) parts, and its down parts. Awesome last movie.

     

    Sunshine Cleaning - Pretty good, but not nearly as memorable as Gran Tourino.

     

    Why it take so long to watch Gran Tourino? Been on my netflix queue for...ever.

    Just finished watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. And with the last scene, I wonder if the Ark is stored away in Warehouse 13 somewhere...

    I have been working all summer to pay for my education.  :(

     

    I didn't have a lot of time (ok almost none at all) to get on here and chat. But with school beginning again, I am back!

    first off i have to say that i find it ironic that people (like me) have little to no time for anything when they are at work but when they are paying for school they have plenty of time for the internet.  my ex used to chat with me all day while she was in class.

     

    now for what i have been watching....

     

    im am up to disk 2 season 3.5 of BSG.  always liked the series but had never been able to watch it all in order before.  much better that way.

     

    also re-watched a underworld marathon last weekend, caught some cool things i hadent before.

     

    master and commander.  saw that in the theters but it had been a long time. i love movies with tall ships in it though and this one is even better as i have been on the HMS Surprise (she is docked at the maritime musium in San Diego)  my wifes favorite pic of me is at her wheel.
