Title: Himumumu's movie review thread
Post by: Himu on January 26, 2007, 11:06:45 PM
I'm watching more and more movies these days, so I decided to make a thread where I review the films I watch.

This past week I've viewed Apocalypse Now and The Life Aquatic.

Apocalypse Now was a pretty powerful flick, although, I do feel it has some problems. As a fan of the Godfather movies, I had really high hopes for this movie, but it still ended up being somewhat disappointing, probably because I had different expectations than what I got. Still, it was a great movie, chock full of memorable scenes and quotes. It felt like it was too full of itself at times, but I didn't really mind that at all. My biggest complaint with the movie is perhaps the characters. Godfather movies impressed me because of the way characters were portrayed, and I felt excitement as they acted on the screen. On Apocalypse Now, I really didn't feel a thing for any character in the story, including the main character. Chef is probably my favorite character in the flick but that's not exactly saying much. I plan on re-watching it this weekend, and then analyzing it. The cinematography and direction really made this movie. The absurdity of the story was just the icing on the cake. You either surf or fight.

I really enjoyed Apocalypse Now, but I probably should reserve judgment until I fully understand the story. As of now, I'd give it a 4/5.

The Life Aquatic was another film I recently watched. I liked it enough, but for such a highly praised flick I expected better. The premise is pretty cool, and the comedy was usually on point. Characters are...iffy. They just seem to be just there. When

I really didn't feel a thing even though they tried to make it emotional. I was all,"Huh." Even though, characters really weren't that memorable, the main character, Steve, was extremely well played and I loved him to death. The over the top action suited the movie well I think. There's something riveting about watching a man kill Filipino's in a speedo.

I'd give Life Aquatic a 3/5. The movie was just crazy, adventurous fun and I'd like to watch it again.

The Life Aquatic, with the exception of a scene or two, is one of the most overhyped pieces of crap put to film.

It wasn't crap. It was okay, but not all that great. Still better than shit, though.

Hell, even Elephant was a step above Life Aquatic.

Seriously, I just don't like Wes Anderson films AT ALL. They're basically all the same: "let's put a stationary camera on someone, play quirky music, and have them act like a mentally handicapped person for five minutes."

I've never been blown away by what I've seen in Apocalypse Now. Even some of the more iconic scenes - like the Valkyre scene - leave me underwhelmed. That being said I haven't seen the entire movie, and what I saw was edited

The stuff I was most interested in was Sheen's narration throughout the movie

LMS was indeed eerily similar to Vacation but Vacation was like 30 years ago.

The 2000's have lacked good road trip family comedies and LMS was extremely well done in that regard. Oscar worthy? Nah but fantastic warm and fuzzy movie. Something this decade has lacked.

Okay, let's try this again. This time, no cock waving. Recording a shit load of movies today on AMC and International Movies or whatever on DVR. I'll update later. Stuff like Amelie will be recorded, which I'm pretty sure will end up sucking.

I recorded a shit load of movies yesterday on dvr. Amelie, Jersey Girl, McQ, The Good Thief, and more across IFC, AMC, and other movie channels. I also went to Wal Mart and Best Buy and got 4 dvds: Blade Runner, Dune, Donnie Darko, and Full Metal Jacket.

I watched Amelie and Blade Runner last night.

I enjoyed Amelie. Not really paying attention to what the movie was about or where it was from before viewing it, I didn't know what to expect. For what it was, it was highly enjoyable, though it eventually turned into a typical romance flick. I thought the humor was well played, but it definitely wasn't ball busting laugh out loud humor. It was a fun flick, and I enjoyed it.

3/5

Blade Runner was pretty disappointing. I probably just came in with certain expectations but it wasn't as good as I hoped. The action was good, the first scene was very well directed, and the ending with the last Replicant was crazy. Like Apocalypse Now, I probably didn't fully understand it by the end, but that ending sure didn't help things. I got the Directors Cut dvd, and that ending really wasn't liking.

The characters weren't really appealing, and the acting was questionable. I not once got any emotion through the story. In many cases, I felt it was dry and could have better developed.

Throughout the movie I was constantly being reminded of current cyber punk/futuristic movies and stories and realized a lot of them drew inspiration from Blade Runner. But even since this movie's release, many have done it so much better. While an enjoyable movie, I don't find it to be the classic people describe it to be.

3/5

I'm going to watch Full Metal Jacket and Donnie Darko today. Those are two movies I highly anticipate watching for the first time. I was going to get Vertigo and Psycho, but then I saw a couple of movies I was more interested in. Sucks I went to Wal Mart first, because Best Buy had Dollars trilogy for 25 bucks.

That seems about right. Very disappointing movie to me. It was "good" but I expected so much more. It starts out great, especially with that interview scene. The scene where Harrison gets his mission is also good, as is the next one where he visits the creator of the replicants.

But there's so much meh stuff after that

Naw, it's not necessarilly meh, it's just okay. I'm pretty sure that if I watched BR when it first came out I'd be amazed.

I don't know about that. The last fight in the movie was fucking intense.

Characters could have been developed more, particularly Rachel.

Yeah, I agree with your post PD. You can tell that Blade Runner was one of the pioneers in this whole style of story telling, but I've seen it done so much better since it's creation so I left the movie not overly impressed.

I only have one problem with blade runner. I wish they kept the original title isntead of changing it to seem more mainstream. It was great.

Originally a dumbass tacked-on "family friendly" ending showed them driving through some nice scenic bullshit. The way the ending is now, though, is more ambiguous (and ALOT better): does Deckard kill Rachel, or does he allow her to live her short, insignificant life out of love?

Donnie Darko. Now that's a movie. Just finished it.

I watched Full Metal Jacket earlier in the day too. Overall, great movie day.

McQ and Dune are tomorrow!

Donnie Darko is a good movie, but its kinda been diminished these days with all the emo fegs quoting lines from the film and saying "OMG BEST MOVEE EVAR". :'(

I feel personally insulted by this thread. There are so many great moments in TLA courtesy of Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, and Willem Dafoe that to say it isn't funny at all is commiting to a falsity on par with the lunar landing.

I think where the movie will ultimately fail for most people is that it's largely reliant on its characters, as are the rest of Anderson's flicks. The problem here, much like the Royal Tenenbaums, is that they're rarely relatable. If the mere sight of Bill Murray in a speedo makes your groin swell as much as it does mine, then that's fantastic. If not, failure total, but you should still get some kicks out of Willem Dafoe. Also, best use of Bowie in a soundtrack and this is undeniable.

Oh, and I didn't see it mentioned, but if you dig the Dollar trilogy, Himuro, you should definitely check out Once Upon A Time In The West. As much as I love TGTBATU, I think this one trumps it.

Bill Murrary is one of my favorite actors of all time and TLA is over-rated.

Where is this overrated business coming from? It has a 52% on Rotten Tomatoes and is generally considered to be the absolute worst Wes Anderson film. Your distinguished mentally-challenged friends hyping a movie doesn't qualify it for the "overrated" badge of dishonor.

Cheebs probably means how most 'net snobs were hyping the film to be the second coming before its release.

ACM is playing 2001 this Saturday. I plan on catching it.

I watched Click yesterday. I think it was okay. Definitely better than recent Sandler movies, but that's not exactly saying much. I would like to see a more serious take on the subject matter, because it's definitely interesting and something I think think a lot of us can relate to. One good thing that turned out of this movie was the Christopher fucking Walken actually had a role instead of a stupid cameo.
