Last Movie Watched

I really liked this one. Pathology is about a group of young doctors who murder random people in their spare time. Was thoroughly engrossed throughout the entire film. Not the movie for everyone, as there are some really graphic scenes, but if you like films like Confessions and The Killing Gene you'll probably enjoy this one too.

Awesome. I bought a copy of this at Big Lots because it was written by the Crank guys, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
 
I just thought the whole thing was lame, especially when he bangs his girlfriend in public and everyone cheers. The whole thing was just so silly and I didn't get excited at all. Just my opinion.

Still haven't seen this and effing Netflix doesn't stream it. But because it's you I'm curious. May have to bite teh Blockbuster bullet one of these days (or look for it on TV).

Both Crank movies are worth owning and should be fetched at ridiculously low prices. And Diehard, that's what makes them so good. So over-the-top, so dopey, yet played fairly straight. And if you don't blink, Dwight Yoakum does some nice character work. I am a huge fan of the Statham, and that helps.
 
Crank was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I think it was written by a 9-year old boy. I swear Jason Statham has the same agent as Nicolas Cage.

I watched five minutes of The Tree Of Life two nights ago. I was literally in awe at how awful it was. The part I saw was like the worst home movie of all time. Having the camera constantly two inches from a character's back, blocking 80% of the frame, is hilariously annoying. I probably would have kept watching, but The Professional was starting on a neighboring channel. At least my theory was proven: The Tree Of Life is the cinematic equivalent of the Emperor's New Clothes - movie critics pretend it is a work of genius because they are afraid to admit it is a pointless mess, which would expose them as a fool too unsophisticated to appreciate the work of genius that it is.
 
Tree of Life is an extremely beautiful movie. It's a shame that some people find the work of a master like Malick boring.

Saw Carrie for the first time the other day. Didn't take me long to figure out that de Palma was the director. I thought Sissy Spacek was awesome. To be honest though I found the movie to be more depressing than scary. Doesn't mean that it wasn't good, just really depressing heh.

Yeah, the Crank movies are just ridiculous, over the top nonsense turned up to 11. It definitely isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy the absurd, you might enjoy it. I'm personally also a fan of the way those guys shoot. They aren't afraid to get creative with how they follow the action.

The couple of Malick movies I've seen I also found to be mostly boring, albeit immensely gorgeous. Haven't seen Tree Of Life yet.

I love that movie so much.
 
Well if you found his other stuff boring you probably won't like Tree of Life. I've loved every Malick film I've seen (Thin Red Line, Days of Heaven, Badlands).

I have Badlands on the DVR. I feel like at some point his flicks will click for me.

It was extremely complicated and the off mood and odd pace were a bit tiring, but I liked it nonetheless. I would think the lucid dreaming-ish connection would appeal to you.

I ****ing LOVE Inception and I don't care. Every second of it. I would let Chris Nolan touch me inappropriately for having made it.
