[Dead Frequency]

Watching the new evil dead movie, so bad ass. *spoiler* I can't believe he did tree scene again lol how fucking revolting in hd

[RenewRevive]

yeah it wasn't at all bad. i kinda got dragged along to see it, not being what you would call a big fan of the original, but it was all good.

seeing World War Z tomorrow. not read the book or anything but it's got zombies and helicopters so i am there!

[MyOneAndOnly]

I saw Pacific Rim in a regular digital theater on Saturday. I liked it alot.

I went with a few friends last night to see it again. This time in IMAX 3D. The 3D was shit. Horrible. I knew what was going to happen during the film and I still had a difficult time following some of the action sequences. Worse than any other 3D film I've seen. Really blurry and choppy. I was surprised that it was as bad as it was, knowing that the film had a huge budget and the FX were so good on a normal screen.

I'm not sure what went on with the 3D conversion, but it doesn't help the movie.

[Trotskilicious]

3d is shit and should die

films that are not made in 3d invariably suffer when converted to 3d. it's a stupid gimmick that died once already and god damn it why hasn'tyet.

[MyOneAndOnly]

I agree. It really is horrible. As is "D Box". I don't understand why anybody wants their chair shaken while they watch a movie.

I only went to the 3D version because the group I went with last night didn't have the option of another show time. I wish now I would have skipped it.

[RenewRevive]

yeah i have no clue why it apparently has leg this time around. the use of 3D in Prometheus was okay as it was understated and not a post-production add-on. funnily enough, while waiting for Prometheus to come on i watched a 10-minute preview of the Spider-man film and fuck me that was annoying.

I can't watch 3d because I get bad headaches.... I tried to see avatar in 3d and had to leave.

[slunken]

that's just a side effect of the broadcast mind-control some are susceptible to

my brother has a slight crook-eye and can't appreciate 3D

in that scene in can't hardly wait where the dude is talking about having to wear a patch and the 3D was lost on him, we diiiiieeeed because my brother had to wear a patch when he was younger too

[redbull]

savages: B minus

this could be a really good movie if they replaced blake lively with someone who can act

[RenewRevive]

world war z was good, a solid B.

[Shallowed]

Watched Drive.

It was surprisingly awful.

[Trotskilicious]

movie rocks it's you that sucks

Are you insane?!

[Trotskilicious]

lots of people hate that movie because it doesn't tell them what to think and there isn't a constant stream of "witty" bullshit spewing out of every character for you to memorize and then quote later

[pavementtune]

I wasn't aware of that since I don't know anyone who disliked Drive. But then again I don't know anyone who waited until 2013 to watch Big Lebowski - besides swallowed.

[Trotskilicious]

i'm guessing reprise still hasn't seen the big lebowski

[Trotskilicious]

looks pretentious what's wrong with inglorious basterds

[pavementtune]

I got tired of watching Kill Bill on repeat, already seen World War Z four times, and sadly there isn't a new Twilight movie, either. Utter desperation.

Seriously though, never seen Kurosawa's "Stray Dog " before, it's brilliant.

[slunken]

If those foreign movies r so good why didn't they make an American version?

[Trotskilicious]

yeah i can't watch a movie and read at the same time

[Trotskilicious]

you have to keep moving your eyes, i mean it's exhausting

[The Omega Concern]

In 1990, to protect his fragile mother from a fatal shock after a long coma, a young man must keep her from learning that her beloved nation of East Germany as she knew it has disappeared.


I'm not a huge fan of foreign flicks, but this was a great one. The premise is rather simple and much of the intrigue is in the physical aspect of the son trying to build a virtual time portal around his mother. She fell into the coma after she got a heart attack watching him protest against the GDR and get arrested. classic.


stars Danial Bruhl who later was in Inglorious Basterds.

[redbull]

your image is broken but I assume you are talking about Goodbye Lenin? such a great movie.
