Unstoppable was unawesome.

Save for about 15 minutes of good action, the film was just a steaming pile of terrible shit writing. No idea how it got such good reviews, although it doesn't surprise me.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, go ahead and avoid rotten tomatoes, imdb etc and read the best review about this stupid movie.

I haven't seen the movie, but I was shocked it was well-received. The trailer looks God awful.

Watched The Town.

Good, but not great. The fact, that some people are comparing it to Heat, is simply ridiculous.

one weak · Dec 06, 2010, 09:45 PM

people compare it to Heat? that's crazy.

if anything it's a rip off of Heat.

Finally, after some 5 years or so sat in my collection, I plucked up the balls to watch 'Irreversible'. Holy fucking christ almighty. Not a film to watch with the grandparents.

chick de la lynch · Dec 08, 2010, 03:19 AM

I don't think I could watch Irréversible with anyone. I think that's a movie you should just watch alone. I still consider it a favorite of mine, though.

lukas989 · Dec 08, 2010, 09:07 AM

Tis a thought provoker for sure. I know what you mean but...it would be hard to be as relaxed with someone after having watched it with them. I was pretty much on edge in expectation of similar tough viewing to the extinguisher scene which caught me right off guard...but then nothing can really prepare you for such a prolonged stint of Monica Bellucci abuse. Lots of eye rubbing and heavy exhaling.

Just watched Winter's Bone, about a girl who is trying to find her meth-cooking father in the back woods of Missouri. A little slow moving, but GREAT performances all around (especially John Hawkes and Jennifer Lawrence). Plus there's squirrel gutting!

9/10

lukas989 · Dec 08, 2010, 10:12 PM

Yeah, I seen that in the movie theatre - enjoyed it a lot. Went on the strength of a trailer I'd seen. Just as well really - I read a review in the paper a few days later that totally mauled it. The reviewer was talking shit though people - check it out.

one weak · Dec 08, 2010, 11:12 PM

Me too, I've seen him in a lot of shit lately, which is good to see. Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks) was also in this movie actually, albeit very briefly.

I saw Monsters, Inc. last night. Great film, and I actually was doing pretty well right up until the last fifteen minutes. That ending nearly killed me. I haven't bawled that much since I saw Up.

Pixar films bring me back to my childhood, and that's why I love their films. They makes films for kids without having to compromise integrity or intelligence.

lukas989 · Dec 11, 2010, 11:52 AM

Ive got this obsession with rekindling memories from my childhood...often however, re-viewing stuff I was mad about as a young un is not quite as effective on my now elderly (comparatively...Im not a grandpa or anything) brain. I hadmittedly havent seen any of the pixar films...maybe Ill give em a bash. My poor firstborn is going to have to endure a LOT of me pushing dvd boxsets of the cartoon series of Dungeons and Dragons and the Mysterious Cities of Gold as well as stuff like Eerie Indiana. Maybe its a blessing for him/her, who knows.
