Inglourious Basterds. Quentin Tarantino does it again.

This thread title is awesome; that is all.

Blade Runner - Fantastic. I can't wait to watch it again in the future.

everyone should know the procedure by now: Movie_Rating_Discussion

Zombieland- 9/10- Really enjoyed the rules and text showing up in the film and narration. Overall good zombie movie but I didn't like the excessive, gratuitous violence/gore during the first 10 min.

Zombieland was a good movie , but I was expecting it to be.

On the other hand , both A Christmas Carol and 2012 were far better than I expected either to be.

A Christmas Carol was a pretty good take on the classic story , even if it didn't try anything new (fine by me). Jim Carey handled Scrooge well. You probably wouldn't even know it was him if you didn't know going in. Only weak point for me was a chase sequence during the meeting of Ghost of Christmas Future , which seemed kinda forced into the movie. There were also had a couple scenes that might be a bit bothersome for younger children (Scrooge at home before meeting the ghosts , the end of Christmas Present).

2012 was a pretty cool disaster flick that was only hurt but it's dull final chapter , and that not enough iconic landmarks were destroyed.

Don't most zombie films feature excessive, gratuitous violence?

Zombieland was a lot better than I expected, then I watched Funny People and it only had a few good moments.

The Big Lebowski

Hilarious movie. I can't believe I didn't watch it sooner.

My favourite of all time. Which cut did you watch?

Christine 1957 Plymouth Fury is SUCH a nice car. My favourite.

Goodfellas Love this film one of my favourite Scorsese pictures.

Jurassic Park Surprisingly the special effects still hold up really well today.

The final cut I think.
I have the 5 disc Blu Ray so Im pretty sure the finL cut is on disc 1. Any other cuts you recommend?

Final Cut is my personal favourite. Although i've only seen that and the Director's Cut. Might be cool checking them all out.

2012 - 6/10 - Destroy the world, and miss out on wrecking the Pyramids, the Great Wall, the (real) Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Golden Gate Bridge, Sydney Operahouse, and all of Tokyo. Also, why was it so damn long?

The Godfather.

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Probably be a cult film in a few years, for now it was just ok.

My thoughts exactly on the lack of other major landmarks being destroyed. I'm really holding out hope on a extended or alternate cut that perhaps includes more icons being wrecked (a friend actually proposed that some of the icon destructions may have been region specific for the movie , which is a bizarre but interesting idea). California and Yellowstone still looked pretty awesome.

The length didn't really bother me , but the end portion did seem to drag on for a bit too long.

Trapped Ashes - 3/5 - Five short stories 2 of which are pretty awesome. Sadly they are the first two so you sorta wait around for it to end. First two stories are pretty f'd up and funny. There is fun to be had w/ this film but it starts off very well and entertaining but the latter half isn't as much fun as the first 40minutes.

Men who stare at Goats, definitely some laugh out loud moments!!

A Serious Man - Great...Coen Bros manage to make a depressing fact of life humorous

Knowing - God I hate Nicolas Cage. A generically creepy premise followed by unexplained crap. I mean, see it if someone threatens you with death but if it's just a trip to the emergency room, accept the beating.

Up - Awesome. Funny, well-written, touching, and all of that. Might be better than Wall-E simply on the presence of Kevin.

Body of Lies. Was a good bit better than I expected. DiCaprio was very good and Crowe was solid.
