He kills his wife, he has very severe antegrade amnesia which allows him to remember things that have become routine and yes, he'll never stop being obsessed with punishing his wife's rapist.

I will answer all those questions here but, in the spirit of the film, they will not be in the right order, no no yes yes no,

hope that helps

Because the movie is eight years old?

I apologize regardless.

Casablanca is 68 years old, and I've still never seen it.

King Kong dies at the end, man was the real monster. It's dramatic irony.

Infract me.

Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!

BANDWAGON

Infract her instead.

THE DOG DIES AT THE END

"Avatar"

Bloody awesome, even though the story is simplistic and the film has many times when it's basically yelling; "Look at my CGI! Look at how awesome I am!"

The parrot was deaf, and it was a butler convention.

Also: stop it.

"The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button"

Did I ever tell you i've been struck by lightning seven times?

500 Days of Summer:
I liked it. I mean, it was a romantic comedy, but it was watchable.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning thief:
Holy fucking bad. I watched it because someone else bought my ticket, but it was just a big tardbus Harry Potter ripoff that never tried to pretend it wasn't. Alexandra Daddario can go fuck off to the hole in Kristen Stewart she fell out of. Fucking giant eyed poor acting fuckbitchslut.

Videodrome:
I don't even know what the fuck. I was high when I watched it.

It was directed by the director of the first two Harry Potter films Chris Columbus, who evidently thinks that by directing HP he's granted immunity on overseeing the production of films that shamelessly copy it. He's done some decent things in his time like Bicentennial Man and Mrs. Doubtfire (although one could argue that it was just Robin Williams that made both those films good). Lightning Thief really looked like a huge let down from the get go.
Were the special fx at least a bit of a saving grace?

Whether you're high or not, you'll still be scratching your head. It's a good ol' slice of Croenenbergy goodness, it doesn't have to make alot of sense to kick ass.

I recently tapped the On-Demand well and watched me some Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Drag Me to Hell.

Cloudy was great, as I expected it would be. The humor was just quirky enough to set it apart from most other CG family fare, but also didn't insist upon itself or try too hard either. It had a good balance of completely ridiculous fun and believable character-to-character dynamics (ie Flint's relationship with his dad).

Drag Me To Hell was exactly what I expected it to be as well. Sam Raimi loves the cheese, and he piled it on like it was a mountain of nachos. I was a little disappointed in the lack of crazy camera work that made his early work so unique and fun, and I was hoping for more gore. I definitely see the parallels between DMtH and the Evil Dead, Evil Dead was way better of course, but you can't really surpass it in goofy, cult horror awesomeness either. All in all I enjoyed it for what it was, not unlike I enjoyed House of 1000 Corpses for the same reasons.

I read the first Percy Jackson book and it was fairly enjoyable - the Potterisation is a lot less noticeable than in the film.

***Nate*** · #**1135** 02-16-2010, 05:06 AM

Just saw the final episode of Dollhouse. It was... good. Perhaps my expectations were way too high after Firefly so it wasn't as amazing as I was expecting, but it was good.

I'm glad they continued on from the Season 1 final episode. Wasn't quite what I expected, but I suppose they had to give it a happy ending somehow.

jesus fucking shit that film was weird. i felt like i'd been spiked with LSD when i caught the last half, which made it even more confusing.

i sort of liked it for the random, weird scenes, and for some reason it reminded me of the game Manhunt, probably due to all the VHS's. the reason i didn't fully like it was due to the snuff movie element it had, which is what it seemed to pretty much revolve around anyway. that and the numerous scenes that just bore me to tears while i waited for something insane to happen again.

but i'm gonna download it anyway and re-watch.

EDIT:

my mate told me about that film a while back. he described a certain scene in detail, and it was so absurd we burst out laughing. if its the same film i'm thinking of, that is.

Nick Frost's Danger! 50,000 Volts!.

It was okay.

Emesdee · #**1138** 02-16-2010, 12:57 PM

Humanity's End. Ultra low budget space opera epic. I've heard many people complain about CGI that looks like a PS1 cut scene, but this takes the cake. It was still amusing though, and was kind of like having all six Star Wars movies crammed into less than an hour and a half.

Rex Tirano · #**1139** 02-18-2010, 06:32 AM

I watched Up last night.

And if anyone hasn't seen it, you really should. It wasn't anything like I expected.

I cried somuch at the beginning when Ellie died, I wasn'texpecting something so sudden. Also,Doug is a genius.

I've seen the first series, and I really liked it. But I still prefer Firefly, my expectations were too high after that. However, I think the unaired pilot traumatised me. Especiallywhen Tofa absolutely lost the plot because the entire world ending was his fault...

Sekto Springs · #**1140** 02-18-2010, 06:56 AM

Am I the only one that didn't think UP was all that great?
It was good, don't get me wrong, all of Pixar's stuff is. I just found the film itself to be kind of dull, and if it was done by anyone other than Pixar it probably wouldn't have even gotten a second glance.

Of course I can't expect everything they make to be as good as The Incredibles.
