ya, I have been debating wathcing carlos.  Right now my netflix isnt active so I can only watch the compacted movie version which is like 2 or 3 hours long on ondemand.

As for Red riding its one of those movies trilogies I heard praised alot when I was reading that garfield got the spidey reboot role and never looked into it, but now watching the trailer it looks pretty interesting almost like the uk version of zodiac.

IMHO, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky is an absolute must-see. If you like absolutely hilarious cheesy, funny horror, you'd love it. Chinese movie subbed in English. You'll laugh so hard you'll "noppoo".

I'd never seen that short and the feature looks like fun, I'll have to keep an eye open for it!

The Lives of Others sticks in my mind as a taut, well paced thriller.



...and Mesrine is just a blast!

Movies uhm, to watch in Cinemas or at home on Bluray/DVD? I have no idea, what's in movies this week, but here are a few Bluray suggestions:

Inception was quite nice i think, maybe Book of Eli. Hm do you like Animes? If yes, try King of Thorn! A friend of mine really likes "Sword of a Stranger".
Classic Animes: Princess Monoke, Akira (Streamline Dub > Pioneer Dub IMHO), Ghost in the Shell for example.
If it could be an older Movie, try Black Rain, Seven or Braveheart.

My favorite Anime is by far Ghost in The Shell. Maybe because it's the first anime i've ever seen. But right after that it's Monoke and Akira. From the recent ones i really dig King of thorn and the Black Lagoon Series. But Black Lagoon ain't a Movie.

Quite nice, that there are some Anime fans here :thumb:

Infernal Affairs trilogy. 3 of the best movies I have ever seen!! If you liked departed, you'll LOVE these. Departed was taken from the first Infernal Affairs...but Infernal Affairs does a much better job with the story.

No... imo, having watch infernal affairs 10 years ago then watching the departed, then rewatching infernal affairs, the departed is basically movie plagiarism. It likes scorsese just took the english subtitles of infernal affairs and said, leo- this is your part
jason borne here's your part
marky marky here's your english translation.

not only even scene for scene... but the only difference was using a cell phone vs. a radio transmitter and that's only because of a 4 year difference in movie making.

I'm sorry but seeing the departed vs. infernal affairs just brings up so much hatred i can't help but rant. Considering i've watched 25years of hong kong cinema and imo... infernal affairs was the last good movie to come out of hong kong (now it's just stupid movies and horrible cgi).

It is a love story, unbelievable it may seem, it's about The Monkey.

The man (Monkey's reincarnation) refuses to kiss her before leaving because of his pride. Monkey intervenes, then man realises that Love is much stronger than Pride.

Always go for original version... In this case French.

I learned it the hard way with Das Boot (1981).
Saw it twice, first Original in German with English subs - Loved it.
Then second time in English. hikes.

When the actors on the set are getting their balls soaked in ice cold water, they don't screem like whoever is re-playing it in their comfy studios. Once translated the flick had no more saoul. From then on, no more translations for me unless I have no other choice.

I have yet to find one remake better than the original. Let me in is no exception.

Even when done by the same guy.
Luc Besson - Nikita (1990) -> Waow
Luc Besson - The Assassin (1993) - aka La femme Nikita - blah

If not mistaken, Luc Besson couldn't get the original in the States. He had to "JunkFoodenize" it with local actors and local money.

My Favorite Besson's movies: (by dates)
2008 Taken
2005 Angel-A
2002 The Transporter
2001 Yamakasi - Les samouraïs des temps modernes
1998 Taxi
1997 The Fifth Element
1994 Leon: The Professional
1990 Nikita
1988 Le grand bleu
1985 Subway

1994 Leon: The Professional  - Best of the list by far imo
Angel-A also good.

The Thing (my fav horror movie of all time)
True Grit
Cape Fear
Scarface
Insomnia
Vanilla Sky
Topre - 86U   |   Filco - Tenkeyless Linear Red
Filco - Tenkeyless Blue       |   Filco - Fullsize Non NKRO Blue (Work)

old boy, the director recently came out with a trilogy called the vengence trilogy old boy is second in the series, and an actor or 2 are in different roles, i found the third movie to be more compelling than the first (i can't give away the names cuz it kind of gives away the whole movie lol).

I'm not big fan of Ferrel but cut myself laughing many times. It is indeed a decent comedy. Surprisingly good.

Did you like the base jumping scene? What a transition!
