I liked hunger games better when it was called Battle Royal.
On another note, saw Wrath of the Titans. I liked it pretty well.

I'm just disappointed that the trailer didn't have Push It To The Limit (Scarface) - Paul Engemann
Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 04-13-2012
Cabin in the Woods was crazy. Felt like Goddard and Whedon got together one day and just started talking about how much horror movies suck today, and based a movie around it. Good stuff though, check it out.
Re: The Movie Thread - Mission Difficult - 04-13-2012
Just saw The Raid: Redemption. Fight scenes were slick and brutal. Very well done. Plot is optional, it knows its an action movie. It's in Indonesian but is subtitled. One of the main characters was a little too white to be Indo, but to be fair they were colonized by the dutch so it stands to reason he could be part dutch. I never saw any Indos that white when I lived there but whatever. So yeah, if you want to see numerous people getting fucked up in quick succession, check it out. Should be out in most major cities by now.

Hunger Games was a decent film adaptation of the book. Did not like shakey-cam for the whole first part of it, though.

Pretty much my thoughts on it too. I don't mind shakey cam in a fight scene, but just random shots of people walking? It was unnecessary. I absolutely loved the whacky styles of the Capitol, though, it blows my mind that Elizabeth Banks played Trinket. I wouldn't have known it was her if it wasn't for IMDB.
Re: The Movie Thread - Maxon - 04-20-2012
Just rewatched Kung Fu Hustle. Â Forgot how ridiculously fun that movie was. Â Anything else out there that's as good and maybe abit similar with it's humor and action? I already watched Shaolin Soccer which was alright, but Kung Fu Hustle was Chow's best.
*EDIT*
Also, Legend of the Drunken Master. Holy crap, another gem I had forgotten. The choreography is amazing. Probably one of my favorite Jackie Chan flicks.

Good deal of comedy/action/deep tones. The choreography in it is ridiculous.

Saw that last night. First horror movie that i've watched all the way through. My hands were clenched so hard that part of my hand was still numb several hours later. And I may have just closed my eyes and stuck my fingers in my ears for a lot of parts.
In retrospect, its a good thing the girl I like didn't go with us :p
god i really fucking hate horror movies
Re: The Movie Thread - Surf314 - 04-22-2012
I saw Drive last night, it was crazy good. When the second act started I was like WTF, but then I realized it was so well developed that everything fit together perfectly. The attention to detail was amazing.
Re: The Movie Thread - Squishy3 - 04-24-2012
So, good news. The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire has a new director. Maybe we won't get shaky cam during flashback sequences for no reason.

Also, new Brave trailer that actually tells us what's going on:

I thought I wouldn't get the shell shock from Akira during my second time through.
Nope.
