I am looking forward to the Dragon Tattoo remakes though. I think the original films were good, but I'm interested to compare what Fincher comes up with.

Shame the latter two were made on "made-for-television" budgets with a shitty director.

Either way, Fincher's fantastic, so I'll be eager to see his take, but Rapace isn't getting topped. The new Salander looks, and especially sounds, very lame.

I don't like Spike Lee that much tbh. I feel like he tries too hard but that may be just his style.

Spike Lee is the most overrated director ever.

'Do The Right Thing' is absolutely ridiculous.

My most hated film.

Yeah, she does look lame. Though Daniel Craig is a superb casting.

 

[adriano_c]

Yeah, they got that one spot on, although Mikael Nyqvist did a very good job in the role as well.

-edit. Oh, apparently they've released the extended edition blu-rays. An extra 30 minutes for each film, filling in some of the stuff left out of the book.

Summer of Sam, 25th Hour?

 

[YasoR17]

Anyone seen Straw Dogs? Hearing it wasn't any good.

 

[Enron]

The first film isn't even that good. It's just violent and has a gruesome rape scene.

 

[suligodsilla]

Summer of Sam, 25th Hour?

yeah bro 25th hour. the scene where edward is talking to the mirror is a bomb and the last scenes, the film is brilliant bro

i just watched "priest" not bad for the second film from the director stewart is his name. from the optical point of view it was nice but nothing new. i think he has potential, i mean nowadays comic adaptions are very dissepointing but that film was ok.

Watching Oldboy now.

What did you think of it?

Dope as fuck. Really enjoyed that. Being kinda Tarantino'esque helped too I suppose.

Good hear, it was a great flick, really done with raw tension. If you like the directors style, he has done couple other movies, not as good, but similar theme, called Sympathy for Mr veangence, and Sympathy for Lady vengeance. He basically explored the theme of revenge in a trio of movies, Oldboy is his masterpiece, bbut the others are worth watching too.

 

[adriano_c]

Lady Vengeance was pretty weird. Not really as shocking as Oldboy, nor anywhere close to being as good.

 

[Osman]

Non of them was as shocking, but yes Mr vengeance is better then lady vengeance, more gritty heavy drama. But Lady vengeance defenitely worth watching too. Either shouldnt be compared to oldboy, other then the theme.

If you guys are into intense Korean movies, check out 'The Chaser' too, it's a pretty decent watch.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Hannibal Rising is a piece of shit I wish someone warned me about.

 

[Osman]

Saw Cowboys and Aliens and Rise of the planet of the apes, I enjoyed the latter more for sure, found Caesar and how he evolved and reacted to and lead rest of the chimps quite intriguing. The former was decent light entertainment though.

Watched tons of korean movies (00's been excellent age for korean flicks) and heard about the chaser, recall couldnt get hold of it last year then forgot about it. Any other korean flicks you would recommend?
