Last Seen Contemporary Movie

World War Z (2013)



Oh, and I was thinking these Zombies don't bite bald-headed people.:p Nothing great, just an ok time-waster.

>>: B-

Byzantium (2012)



As a 'vampire-tale' it was just fine but unnecessarily too long (near about 2 hours!). Specially, found the first half quite boring. Expecting more from this film, so kinda disappointed.

>>: B-

The Colony (2013)



I'm not referring to The Thing or recent crappy flick Hypothermia, but instead of having this raze-zombies like cannibalistic humans, I think this sort of extreme cold scenario is more suitable for weird-deadly creatures.

Catching Fire was good, better than the first one IMO. Tucci has been great in both and Phillip Seymore Hoffman was a pleasure to watch.

Haha yeah Norman Reedus has really become popular lately. I wonder why? :rolleyes:

Good to know. Both of those actors are great, i really enjoyed Tucci in the first one. He seemed to have a lot of fun with the role.

"Kon-tiki" 8-9/10


Beautiful.

Love movies such as Life of Pi and this one.



"Melancholia" 7/10

Not a big Trier fan, but to my surprise i liked most of Melancholia. Especially the last half.

Elaborate...

I only ask because a friend of mine who enjoyed the book said it was AMAZING and I don't usually see reviews that swing so far on the spectrum! I've heard the premise and it sounded interesting but I'd hate to waste my money on garbage.

I didn't know this had been made, I loved the story when I was a kid and the 1950 documentary was good. Looks like this one might have had a touch of hollywood treatment and the cover art's a bit off-putting but I'll give it a go anyway, cheers.

Not seen Pi either but enjoyed the novel. Can't really imagine it being faithfully made into a movie as there's so much internal stuff in it.

I'm pretty new to Trier but I did enjoy this. The production and style reminded me a lot of the Film4 productions of the early-mid 90s that I really loved. Will definitely be finding more of his films.

I was thinking of getting this, I thought it sounded pretty good too. It seems to have mixed reviews and I read something about it being a "safe" portrayal of Nazi Germany whatever that means. Well I think I can guess what it means but I don't know if that necessarily makes it a bad film...

Yesterday I watched The Mist (2007)



Horror sci-fi based on a Stephen King story. I thought it very good - decent plot, great monsters and the whole thing nicely done. The only downside really was the ending which although a good idea I found a bit too contrived and unconvincing to have the impact that it might have done.

I'd read the book as well, but i was pleasantly surprised about the movie.
Imo the best movie of 2012.

Saw Man of Steel (2013) last night. Enjoyed it though, without spoiling anything, they do take some fairly dramatic liberties with the traditional Superman storyline.
