This is why I love the fact that we have breaks or 'intermissions' or whatever you wanna call them, in most theaters here in the Netherlands.

Dat Bathhouse scene.

Eastern Promises was pretty good but Cronenberg is at his best when he's weird and disgusting.
Check out Videodrome if you haven't already, it rules.

Oh, The Tracey Fragments - 9/10
Best coming of age story ever, fuck The Breakfast Club.

Wrath of the Titans (2011)
Predictable, rushed, poor acting, terrible effects in places, boring, pointless and full of plot holes if you can call it a plot.
I must be fucking stupid, I remember going to see the first one at the 3d cinema and felt like tearing my eyes out because it was so bad and then I put myself through this. It wasn't as bad as the first but thats like saying somebody chewing your fingers off is less painful than having a hand up your muff and ripping out as much as it can. How the fuck did they get some of these actors to do this shit again, oh yes, by using the same trickery to fool me in to watching it again.
I'm a sucker for stuff on ancient Greece but this was 100 minutes of my life that could have been used to kill myself instead.
Stay away from Titan films.

I didn't think 'that scene' was as sad as you made it out to be.

lost in translation - 8/10
very very beautiful, made me want to visit Japan

The Game
7/10
That ending...I'm not sure if...
This movie man.
-
showed The Big Lebowski to my brothers for the first time and god damn, they were literally both just occupied with their iphones throughout most of the movie, barely understanding anything of the story
and then said that tropic thunder was miles funnier

21 Jump Street 8/10
funny and exciting. Anyone recommend other Jonah Hill movies?

Indie Game the Movie - 8/10
I wouldn't wanna meet anyone interviewed in the movie in person, but the movie is interesting and I enjoyed it.

Moneyball

Insomnia 7/10
It was a good movie but didn't come close to memento which is my favourite movie (the reason i compare them is because christopher nolan directed both, one after the other just fyi)
-
Clash of the Titans is a great story, it just comes out really shitty when put on film. Clearly, we need someone who gets the material and can make it not suck on screen.
-
The Campaign - 6/10.
It had its moments, but you know, it was just another typical Will Ferrell type movie. Zach Galifianakis helped it out a little bit, though.
-
The Truman Show: 8/10
Great movie, one of Carrey's best.
-
Warrior 7.5/10
Decent story, fun to watch, worth your time.
-
Should I watch Spirited Away? I'm not really into these kind of movies.
-
watch Grave of the Fireflies if you want a good example of how anime can evoke realistic emotion.
-
Drive - 9/10
Just, goddamn. That was really not what I thought it was at all.

The FP (2011)
A film about underground gangs fighting each other off in Dance Dance Revolution (or Beat Beat Revelations, as they call it).
It was hilarious. It looked good, was well-written, and sported some fancy tunes. It did try a bit too hard at times, but apart from that ye, a really great cinematic comedy.
8/10
-
will watch The Stoning of Soraya M.
in a state of mind to see it now.
-
I think you'd like it. It's one of my favorite movies and I'm not even a fan of anime for the most part.

Just watched Sunshine - 8.5/10
Some parts of the movie felt really slow, and the pictures of the crew of Icarus 1 flashing onto the screen felt distracting .
-
Open Range - 8/10 Solid American western movie. And like any good western movie, an awesome shootout at the end. Very cool!

The Raven
I shall give it a 10/nevermore

Everyone I've talked to says that movie is atrocious, maybe I will watch it one day, but it looks dumb.

Pusher (1996)
The reason this is interesting is because its Nicolas Winding Refn's first feature. The film follows a peice of shit called Frank who is a Yugoslav drug pusher in Denmark. The thing that makes him interesting is he doesn't give a fuck about anyone other than himself, even though there seems to be people around him who cut him slack. Things for him go from bad to worse and theres not much more that should be said if you've not seen it.
The film has that gritty feel of Gaspar Noes Irreversible but didn't have quite the same punch. The actor who plays Frank does a great job. Sometimes you feel like you're on the side of the main character but theres a part towards the film that totally switched that off for me to the point I wanted to see him get killed.
I recommend this film. Looking forwards to part 2

Ted (2012) 6/10
The entire thing was literally just one big, mediocre episode of Family Guy, talking animal shit and all, but you need to switch Peter's personality with Brian's.
It got redundant and the ending felt needlessly tacked on It felt like they forgot they had a villain and were like "Oh shit we need to incorporate him somehow" just like Family Guy and although it had decent jokes you can pretty much see everything coming.
It wasn't helped by the annoying man children we had to sit in the theater with either. One guy in his 40 something was watching one of the previews and at the end he just blurts out "cool" for no reason. Thanks guy, glad to hear your opinion. Plus the people behind me started crying when Ted "died" Honestly, I was happy at that point. Most of the movie is spent watching him be an annoying shit who has no self control, you know, just like Peter. even though I knew that was bullshit anyways because He comes back too life. Woop-de-fuckin' doo, didn't see that coming AT ALL .

The Warrior's Way 6/10
Enjoyable. Story felt kinda flimsy but it had some damn nice visuals.

101 Reykjavik (2000)
79/100
Edited:
Oh my, Criticker guessed my rating correct. 79 out of 100, awesome.
-
painful movie but also painfully good.
-
Black Dynamite - 9/10
That was spectacular.
-
I saw that a couple of years back and that last scene stuck in my head for days. Great film that seemed to disappear without trace as soon as it was released. Not a good advert for Sharia law.
-
Womb: 7/10
I liked it. It was the first "serious" role I've seen for Matt Smith, and I was fairly impressed.

Pusher pt 2 (2004)
Well the first one was quite good but this bored the tits off me. A story of a character who is the product of a disfunctional criminal family. This film didn't speak to me at all which is a shame because it could have been good if there was more to it. Watching this was like a long episode of Shameless without the laughs.
I don't recommend this film.

Confessions (2010) - 8/10
It's a revenge film, but handled unlike anything I've seen before. Instead of being about the pursuit of vengeance, the vengeance occurs at the start of the film: Yuko states to her entire classroom who the two students who killed her daughter are, and that she has infected them with HIV. (well, in the introductory scene which actually goes on for the first half hour of the movie. It's very slowly paced but is nowhere near as bad as it sounds). The film then rotates between the perspectives of various characters involved, building up our understanding of the events leading up to and following the revenge from each character's view in a non-linear fashion. The style may be offputting to some; the whole film is basically one big exposition dump with various monologues over artsy camerawork, but I think the style was pulled off really well. The only thing that bugs me is that this is one of those films where one little bit of nonsense in the plot brings the whole thing down if you focus on it: at any point in the film any one of the students could have told their parents or anyone else what Yuko had done. None of them ever do for no clear reason, and only because of this fantastic bit of luck on her part does the film not end halfway through with her in a jail cell . Ignoring that though, I really like this film. The story is original, the characters are well developed, the camerawork is great, and so is the soundtrack, with lots of material by Boris. If you can stomach the slow pacing and complete disregard for the idea of 'show don't tell,' I highly recommend this film.

saw "A Page of Madness"
a 1920s rare Japanese avant-garde film based in a mental hospital.
You can see where this is going, but it isn't a whole lot screwed up. To be honest I'm stunned by how good a watch this is, even with no intertitles I was able to roughly follow what was going on. Thereafter reading about it, the plot pieces made sense and it now makes me want to see it again.
I thought it was great, but this will only appeal to a few.
"The Raid Redemption"
mindless but truly amazing choreographed action. Brutal beyond belief and ridiculously euphoric. Each fight scene is filled with energy and skill that goes off the scale.
The plot is really bad. But that doesn't matter at all when you're given amazing action on a plate.

Reservoir Dogs 8.5/10
It's one of those films that I pretended I'd seen so much that I ended up thinking that I had. Today I realised I hadn't and watched it on dvd. It was really good, the soundtrack is probably my favourite part, like with most tarantino movies but the story was good too. Tim Roth's voice was a bit gollumy which was sort of distracting but the rest of it was fine.
