I'm in the mood for some comedy. Any recommendations? Liked Europtrip a lot, especially that creepy Italian dude.

127 hours Expected ending though.

If I don't find any comedies, I'll watch this

It's a true story, based on the book the guy wrote after he got away.

Crazy Heart was good but didn't strike me as anything special. Felt like i'd already seen the story before with The Wrestler.

The White Ribbon - What a bore!

 

[king Ale]

For real? I was recommended to watch it.

 

[Ramin]

Well, it was nominated for lots of awards and getting high reviews by the critics. I thought it was boring, long, and very slow paced movie.

I know you like black & white movies, so it might be awesome for you ;p

Watched Ze's special movie, The Message.

A movie whose main character isn't in the movie But maybe that's an apt metaphor for the whole story, based on rumors.

For some reason it's forbidden to show Mohammed as an actor in the movie (naughty movie maker!), but it's not forbidden to impersonate GOD HIMSELF by using an actor to talk to Mohammed while showing a flame on the screen. Great logic. It makes you wonder who's the more holy/grumpy one.

The guy who was tortured along with his parents, who were killed. Other guy comes up to him and says "your parents are the first martyrs of Islam, promised paradise!". And the guy looks just as sad. Shouldn't he be happy? "In your face, tyrants!" What could be better than sending your parents to paradise rather than this disgusting life where people torture you just for being delusional?

lol "Mohammed teaches us to give charity. Even a smile can be charity." Well then smile you unsmiling clowns. Not a single smile in the whole group.

"God made woman to be the proper companion of man. She is different, but equal." This guy doesn't even know what equal means.

"God created man from one male and one female." So god created man from man. At the point of creation he was already there.

Most of the rest is a boring story about war. Except for a scene where they reenter Mecca and destroy all the religious statues inside the Kaba, thereby pissing all over everyone else's religious customs. Real classy.

Watched John Carpenter's The Thing earlier today. 1982 horror film about a bunch of guys trapped at an antarctic research station, they come across an alien shape shifter and off we go for a high paced game of who done it/who is it.

Stars Wilferd Brimley (Quaker Oats guy), Kurt Russell, and Keith David (King from Platoon).

Many consider it one of the best horror films of all time, even though it's age makes it a little less scary.

Oh also watched Un Prophete. An acclaimed film about a young muslim boy who goes to French prison and runs into the Corsican mafia. It was really good.

And The Missing. A 2003 (Ron Howard) film with Cate Blanchet and Tommy Lee Jones. About a woman and her father and their quest to retrieve the oldest daughter after she is kidnapped by a gang of rogue Apaches. Received high marks for it's accurate use of the Apache language.

We should have a competition: watch a movie that Buck hasn't seen. It will be a hard competition.

 

[Enron]

Could be interesting the guy watches about 20 movies a week.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Martin wins it! Haven't seen that Message movie. And judging by his comments, there's a pretty big chance I never will.

Not going to watch The Thing either, for now. First up: The Thing From Another World (1951), the "original" one on which Carpenter based his movie. The dvd has been laying at home for a while now, but I haven't been in the right mood so far.

BooooooO!!! Spoiler alert!!




Has anyone seen Piranha 3(D)? Fantastic comedy, the bit where the piranha burps out a dick he jut chewed off was absolutely fantastic.

Also saw Un Prophete, excellent film though it was a little stretched out. Could have shortened it a bit.

Saw Across The Universe again, great stuff, even for a non-Beatles fan.

Stone. I expected so much more from De Niro and Norton together. This was downright disappointing. Norton' performance was top notch again but such a weak, weak film.

Both films are based on the same book and Carpenter's version is reputed for being much closer to book than the original (much like the new True Grit). I've seen both, but I haven't read the book yet.

The Sicilian Girl. Based on the true story of Rita Atria and her testimony against the Sicilian mafia. Molded after a 1998 documentary by the same director on the same topic. The film is good, but it's long, almost too long. From what I've read the movie version is a bit romanticized from the actual events. Never-the-less, worth a watch if you're in to mafiosi.

Oh, I didn't know Carpenter went back to the book for his film. I had always heard that he just remade the old movie, instead of making a new movie based on the book. You learn something new every day .

So which version is the best according to you?

They're both good. I didn't know there was a book til yesterday. And I haven't read the book, so I really can't confirm which is more true. Just read a bit on it.

The movie was slow but a good watch.

My Sassy Girl remake version of Korean 'Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo' i havent seen it yet, it is said one of the best romance-comedy ever.. but this one is very Hollywoodish, average one :/
