Fountain of youth b2b eminent domain.
There are many episodes of the show that are better than this "movie". Just about every aspect is underwhelming. The thing that stood out the most to me was the amount of cheese in this film. One liners and "cute" androids a plenty.
2/10
On a side note, I'm sad to see the direction the franchise has taken. It would have been awesome to see some hard sci-fi set in the star trek universe.
Not to mention gratuitous underwear shot FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER

I don't recall any underwear shots in Insurrection.
Are you sure you're not confusing it with a certain episode?
Saw El mariachi today. The atmosphere, characters and camerawork really stood out. The story was a bit basic but I was able to get over it and enjoy the movie. I really wasn't expecting this type of film from Robert Rodriguez after seeing his other output.
The only thing that really bothered me was the Foley work. But considering the movie was made by a 23 year old with $7000 I can let it slide.
7/10

Check out Primer dude. Its not hard sci-fi but its interesting, a very grounded attempt at tackling time travel. Soundtracks a bit average and it isnt as good as his new movie Upstream Color, but still for a debut its good shit

Went on a 1960s roll this week, I had forgotten how great a decade this was for american cinema
Bullitt
The essence of a good thriller: a man fights unknown enemies. Also starring the finest Mustang GT Fastback ever seen on screen.
In the Heat of the Night
Again a proper thriller, with a strong statement on race in 1960s Chicago and a powerful performance from Sidney Poitiers. Special mention for Rod Steiger
Doctor Zhivago
David Lean... I don't know how he does it. The camera work and sceneries in this are gorgeous (not Lawrence of Arabia levels of gorgeous, but still beautiful). Add to that a doomed love during the bolshevik revolution with Omar Shariff and Julie Christie and you've got a masterpiece.
And last but not least...
Judgment at Nuremberg
I should point out that I usually despise any big budget movie that remotely has to do with the sizan. Most of them (the ones I've seen anyway) seem like a competition of who can portray the biggest manichaeism on-screen. Imagine my surprise when I saw a thought-provoking, conflicted and ultimately difficult approach to the subject in Judgment at Nuremberg, in 1961. Schell is stellar as the defence attorney that raises a lot of valid points and Tracy as the judge torn between his ideals and geopolitical considerations is great.

The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)
Well acted, especially by Rourke and Eric Roberts, but failed to really grab either of us.

can anyone recommend me some good horror films? im really not into them but ive got such an itch these last few days
i HATE slasher ones or any kind where a group die off one by one in the same place. boooring
watched Event Horizon last nigh which i though was pretty sick, not sure if its a horror though. But pretty grim horror/thrillers are more what im looking for anyways
also, everyone seems to hate hostel? but i found the first two pretty entertaining, the locations n filming are sick imo
