Gravity. I can't say it was a great movie, I can't say it was a pretty good movie. It held me spellbound, it seemed over in 30 minutes. I think that means its a pretty damn good flick.

I watched John Carpenter's The Thing last night. A fantastic psychological horror story, it makes me sad that the vast majority of horror films are just another shitty slasher movie when they could be fantastic and interesting films...

I watched The Godfather for the first time last week, and followed it with parts 2 and 3. First two... superb. Last one... meh. I figured I had to watch these movies before I die. Glad I did.

Watched MASH, the movie the other night and was reminded of the references to Frank Burns as the 'sky pilot'. We should use sky pilot more often just to see who gets it and who doesn't.   :-k

Yes, they are certainly essential movies that must be watched.  Except for one of them, probably that last one, which is totally unessential and ends up demeaning the series as a whole.

American Hustle
9/10

It's not a Scorcese film, but the way the story's told reminds me a lot of Goodfellas (the flash-forward at the beginning, that the story reaches again halfway through. The alternating character voice-overs.) Excellent preformances all around, including Louis CK's.
No religion for me thank you very much; I 'm full of shit enough as it is.

Just watched the first one about 2 months ago, I loved it :D. 9.7/10.

Been a long time since I watched godfather.  I'll probably watch it again sometime and realize how much I missed last time. Every time I rewatch movies years later I always find a lot I missed last time. Same with books..
I watched the Will Hay movies before on archive.org and watched again last night and they're funnier second time around.

The last 300 thing. Can someone tell me, what is the genre of this...thing?

Please do not say fantasy. Because apparently movie was hyped in another way and there are tons of 'discussions' about how it fits 'history' or not. 

It could be a genre of its own, I suppose, although I would call it mythology.  There is an established history of movies that have a mythological feel employing mesomorphic male and female warriors dressed in quirky body armaments designed to enhance the attractiveness of their bodies as they engage in bloody battle.  They often include elements like dragons or the currently popular "krackens", but not always.  If you choose not to call it fantasy, this series probably falls in that genere, whatever it is. 

Someone gave me a Blu-ray of "300" in a sealed Blu-ray box.  It was probably a freebee included with purchase of a Blu-ray player, and whoever received it wasn't even interested in watching it, and it eventually ended up in my hands.  I had it in my possession for months before I watched it.  It was OK, I guess, but not worth paying money to see.  I don't know why Hollywood did a sequel.  I guess a lot of people like this genre.  Debating its historical accuracy is just something some people might want to do, just like in the thread about the historical accuracy of the movie Noah, which I would include in the genre.

What's so baffling is that people needing an explanation for a movie like this in terms of 'historical facts'.  :rotflmao: (American media, I suppose)

These 300 movies without doubt are the worst things ever made in the name of cinema, let alone the genre it aims. It's mostly 'implied' style violent porn for under 18. It contains so many absurdity even in its own absurdity, I wouldn't know where to begin with.

Don't even waste your time.
Fuck you, 300 is awesome and hilarious. :twisted:

Divergent:  8/10

I understand this is another movie, potentially a series, based on books about dystopian futures for young adults.  Very much like Hunger Games, and equal in interest IMO.  I saw it yesterday and enjoyed it.  I'm looking forward to a sequel.

The genre lends itself to nudity, and it should be an integral part of the genre IMO. :biggrin:

I haven't seen the second one, but I thought the first was pretty awesome.  It's got all the elements of a heroic tale and tells the story with an artistic twist.  What's not to like?
