Secret Ninja Movie Club (aka what have you watched lately)

[vishes]

Yeah agreed, Cameron Diaz is the only thing I've never liked about the movie.

[Johoosh]

What about DiCaprio's woeful accent? The uneeded timelapse at the end? & yeah Diaz is shite.

Worth watching just for Day Lewis though he goes in. "HEART? This boy has no heart!"

Honorable mention for John C Reilly as that dodgy copper.

The Hobbit:
Pretty much what could be expected. I was able to finish it but the magic has gone.

Django Unchained:
Good, but certainly not Tarantino's best for me.

The Hobbit: the magic has gone.

think that's the tagline

[jigglypuff]

im really late with movies but i just watched the dark knight rises and looper.

since i heard the dark knight wasn't that good i had low expectations.... so it turned out really good.

looper was awesome

[joeki]

I have to tip my hat to DiCaprio. He's had a couple of really good performances. And Django is one of them.

[Electric_Head]

I personally really enjoyed The Hobbit.
Life of Pi was also very well done, visually.

[Johnlenham]

Watched this yesterday. Part 3 in feb though it will be beyond crazy so worth the wait.

[joeki]

Yeah I also watched part II last month. Well made, introducing some more elements from the manga into the movies. But it's hard to fit a 25 episode series into three movies whilst still getting all the character development in there. Overall they did a pretty good job of selecting the essential and it looks fucking awesome. But I'd still rather watch the whole 25 episode thing! I've got the entire manga up to volume 25 raw and original! Nice.

[Johnlenham]

I did think the part in the snow near the end was really well done. Actually alot of it was well done. I liked it more than the 1st part aswell but that might be down to having loads of battles and Guts pretty much wrecking everything.

have yet to see Django but imho he's gotten really good, watched some recent movies of his, really good in each roll

[finji]

I wanna watch that berserk film but apparently the subtitles are appallingly bad?

[joeki]

Don't have that problem as I'm fluent in Japanese (even though its diffucult to understand everything with those old terms and medieval dialogue). But I watched it raw from a Chinese DVD-RIP without subs. I've watched the 25 episode series a couple of times and read the manga in Japanse. So I pretty much don't need 'em.
Not wanting to sound cocky, the subs are horrible (even the ones on the first movie sucked tbh). Just stating the facts.

[soulkids]

don't speak japanese (yet) but subs are often so horrible

havn't watched much berserk, didn't like the animes pilot so I stopped recently watched 'welcome to the nhk!' (fantastic), 'genshiken' (okay-ish) and 'monster' (fantastic aswell)

Its not too bad. Some of it is just like someone hasnt proof read it but its ok. Worth it for the absurd fights alone.

The pilot is so bizarre because its set after the end of the series (its even 3-4 volumes past where the series leaves it) Once you get past ep 1 it actually goes to a normal medieval style anime (up till the last few eps of the series then into the manga)

Edit:Band of the Hawk is the first "proper" episode. Its really good and well worth a watch/read.

[joeki]

Watched Zulu tonight, had been a long while.

For its time, it was a pretty good movie even though it got some of the facts of that battle mixed up. Mainly memorable because of Michael Caine's debut (a cliché remark but it's true).

[aspect-dubz]

Brilliant movie. If you liked the dark comedy of in bruges you'll love this.

Worth it just for the hilarious acting whenever someone gets shot/hit with a spear

But yeah decent film always watch at least a bit of it when its on

[joeki]

haha yeah, and how they don't even touch eachother most of the time during the spear/bayonet clashes. Just pointing in general direction with the damn things.

Killing Them Softly.

Entertaining. Not more I can say really. Good performances, realistic crime story. Good dialogue. Good adaptation.
