Have you watched the Russian TV miniseries adaptations of Dostoevsky's works? The Idiot was excellent imo.

I know a few others based in 20th century Eastern Europe. Like Gabor Body's Narcissus and Pscyhe (Hungary). Bloody hard to find though.

Opium: Diary of a Madwoman by Janos Szasz is another set in pre-WWI Eastern Europe.

Sergei Parajanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a 19th century set masterpiece too. Carpathians setting.

Wojciech Jerzy Has' The Doll is set in warsaw 1870s. Really good. his Hourglass Sanatorium is incredible. One of my all-time favourites. (Same with The Saragossa Manuscript though it is not at all set in the right era for you.) You should watch as many of this director's films as you can find. I think you would love them.

No, I haven't. I started watching The Karamazov Brothers, though. Gotta finish that one first. I also wanna watch Crime & Punishment (movie) as I finished reading it a couple of days ago and now I have officially read all of Dostoevsky's work, bar a couple of small novels and his letters.

Thanks :toast: I'll look for those. Oh and I wanted to watch Sanatorium pod klepsydra like dozen times already and I always postpone it

Numb (2007) - Really bad. I didn't enjoy it one bit and even Matthew Perry couldn't pull it off. Waste of time.

John Wick 2 - Great movie. You can rarely see a great action movie these days. This is what a good action packed movie is. It has no real depth nor good dialogs but it brings the best of what it offers - action. Cinematography reminds me of Asian one (Korean to be more precise) and they totally pulled some comic uniqueness in some scenes. Keanu Reeves is brilliant for this part. It also has one of the most awesome endings.

Movie aside, Keanu Reeves is really something. It's so fucked up seeing what he has gone through with his life. His dad left him who was also a drug dealer. His mom was a stripper and he basically had 3-4 step fathers. He got married. His sister was diagnosed leukemia so he donated most of his Matrix money for the research. His wife had a baby early, in 8 months, and the baby was born dead which later on lead for his wife to be depressed. She also had a car accident later on and died. Keanu also donates majory of his money to charities while he also quite often pays off debts of other actors he meets while casting. He has a normal (small) house, no bodyguards and wears rather cheap clothes. I wish the guy all the best. I'm gonna watch every movie of his just because of that.

It's true, though, he's eternally young just like Tom Cruise and Jared Leto.

I love John Wick. The directors know what it is and do it well. No nonsense, straight forward, well shot, action movie. They also use very minimal CGI. Those glass museum scenes were amazing.

Let's talk bad. Let's talk about shit movies, flops and let's talk about one of the worst movies that I watched over the past ten years, possibly even longer: The Fate of the Furious. So, where do I start. Okay, let's first mention what's good about the movie: absolutely nothing. Now let's move to the bad things. Acting was non-existant. The roles that they created are hilarious like they've been in the past parts too. But this 8th part, man, it's just so bad that I felt some evil crawling under my skin while I thought I'd end up crying blood. So many cliché scenes and shit dialogs it's really incredible. Actually, come to think of it, I think every single dialog is shit. Car chase was always lame. Then came the harpoons. Wow. That's one of the WORST fucking scenes I ever watched. It's literally among top 2. Those cars that had Vin Diesel's car trapped were pretty equal to his, looking at those crazy engines, yet he managed to turn all of the cars on their roof. And that was not enough. He pushed the door with his ELBOW and it few 15 meters, hitting the car Dwayne Johnson was driving, which went 10 meters backwards. WITH HIS HAND! Then later on, after 100 shit scenes, Vin Diesel pushed some guys car so he demolished all of his team with the rockets he was carrying. He destroyed like 5-7 cars at once. With one hit. With his car? Seriously? Then... oh then he had a rocket follow him, so he used nitro to get to the SUBMARINE (I mean, why wouldn't they use submarine, cause they already used tanks before), hitting her and making a hugeass explosion which he survived. And how did he survive? He had his team, or should I say his family - a term they repeat like trillion times during the movie - save him with their cars. They surrounded him, making a huge circle with their cars, so he could survive. LMAO. On the top of that, the main enemy was guess who? Of course. A woman. Why wouldn't they pick a woman. Yet again. This movie is so shit that it's impossible to describe with words. Worst.fucking.shit.ever. And yes. I do realize it's exaggeration, unreal etc. But there were plenty of movies pulling that too, yet they manage to be good. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Why did you watch that movie?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Why did you watch that movie?

I watch everything.

Sometimes I'm in a mood to watch a stupid movie too. Sometimes a popcorn one. Sometimes some shitty film is entertaining.

However I wasn't ready for this. Wow. But it ain't too bad. You realize how something shit is just so you can respect the good stuff a lot more.

Btw I watched Solyaris too. '72 version of course

To go from Fate of the Furious to Solaris or the reverse. Now that's a mindfuck.

I watch quite a few "bad" movies too, light entertainment, whatever you want to call it. However, I steer clear of films I know will be absolutely terrible.

Is anyone excited about this movie? Even though we won't see the legendary Arnold? Also, I didn't watch the trailer, just found it online and posted it, maybe it's fake.

Official trailers are welcome.

What you think? Please discuss.

Original is on a different level to anything else that followed.

No. The sequel [Judgment Day] is by far a better movie. That's how you do sequels.

 

[Dostoevsky]

It's fake.

Female lead

Why does that bother you? Its a crazy silly sci fi horror action, a female lead is objectionable on movie like this? It would be stupid either way.

First off, it's The Predator and it has Arnold's roots in it. It used to be a great action movie. If you're doing something with it then do it properly.

Secondly, it's pathetic how they push female leads into almost EVERY movie out there. It's plain stupid, pathetic and sad at the same time. Even some movies that I love, like Star Wars, keep going with the tradition. I seriously think they are trying way too hard to give feminism a bigger smile.

Thirdly, of course it's gonna suck. It's a predator movie and there's a female lead in it. I, for one, couldn't care less if she's hot or not, cause I'd rather watch porn if I'm horny.
