He has never known anything other than the end of civilisation, give him a break. Awesome movie, I might get some angry looks but the movie is better than the book imho.Quote:

8.5/10
The Raid
Holy hell that was amazing. Fantastic action movie. Honestly some of the best fight scenes I have ever seen, not to mention a great plot.
10/10
Honestly I cant imagine an American version. They probably will move the location to something more familiar like Chicago or something.
The Raid looks interesting, never heard of it. Doesn't look like the typical Asian action-movie I usually don't give a crap about
Neither am I, but The Raid blew me away.Quote:

The one that got Away, not that bad but since when do UK special forces use M4 Carbines
They could be using the cosmetically similar C7/C8 Diemaco: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Canada_C7_rifle / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C7_rifle#C8Quote:

Bonus points for a cameo by MTW's Sean Pertwee.

Just watched first season of 'Being Human' I love this. Awesome characters and dialogue, funny as hell and rediculously moving at times. Is the guy playing the vampire the most handsome guy on the planet by the way, wish I had a face like that. Added to the list of 'men that I would become gay for'
Anyone seen The Master yet? I want to see it next week while the woman is out of town, she probably is not interested.
Finally saw Prometheus, messy! It feels like whole scenes were cut out, I am 99% there will be a directors cut. Spectacular special effects though I wasn't bored watching it, but I AM dissapointed. Also a bit odd that the technology of a prequal is so much more advanced than it is in Alien and Aliens, the Nostramo is a cargo-vessel but wouldn't marines have state of the art? No biggie but it kinda buggs me
Watched "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" with my girlfriend yesterday. She is halfway through the book and is a film major and I was initially interested because it had Emma Watson in it. She only gave me the briefest, vague description of it before we walked in, so I had no idea what to expect.
I bawled like a baby. That movie got me, right in the feels. I have not been a film buff in the past few years since I started uni, so I am sure other people can point out more tragic, compelling stories. But this one got to me, all the young actors really nailed their parts convincingly and it has been the best movie I have seen so far this year. I would recommend it to anyone who likes stories about adolescence and its pains. It's a good thing movie theaters are dark, otherwise I am pretty sure someone would have taken my man card away.
Seven Pounds
The overall plot is pretty confusing at first, but once you piece it all together, its a fantastic movie, very emotional. I wont deny that I caught myself tearing up numerous times.
8/10
Since ACIN is opening up about hs balling....
there was this movie playing on HBO for the last couple of weeks, always had the volume dow and ignored while doing homework, looked like a kids flick
Then the other night, while highly intoxicated, I caught Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close from the very beginning, sound and all. I cannot say for sure it was a good movie, only that I cried
I've seen Cabin in the Woods, The Raid, and Looper recently. All were very good and I definitely recommend them.
CR
Cabin in the wood is awesome indeed. Few inconsistancies in the whole thing though
I also Cabin in the Woods. Very enjoyable, more comedic (albeit very dark) than scary, which I guess was the point.
Done with season 2 of Being Human (I heard there's also a remake I mean the English one). It's really a fun series. With fun series it's always a heartbreaker to start the last episode 'now what'
Dark Town, I can absolutely recommend this fantastic Korean movie. I can't even find a trailer on youtube which odd for a movie this good, you will want the one from Gil-yeong Jeong. As for genre, serial-killer a cop a writer you geddit. It has a fantastic soundtrack, awesome well developed characters and unlike so many Asian movies it isn't annoyingly violent. Dunno if I would call it a masterpiece but it certainly the best Asian movie I have ever seen.
The Devil Wears Prada
I admit that I watched this initially with a girl, but I will also admit that it is actually very, very good. Watched it a second time. Anne Hathaway is fantastic. And insanely attractive.
Oops repost.
So good you had to post it twice? lol
Bait (2012)

I like movies like that, I am a s sucker for the kind thing. You will probably like 'the an who wasn't there', Finnish, stole my heartQuote:
