Chernobyl Diaries

It's all over the place. There are hints of some cool STALKER (game) influences all throughout and I feel the actual content of the movie wasn't bad. It's the directing and acting that sucked. If the scenes were better framed and shot, you could see how this would be a pretty cool horror movie. However it's shot in a hand-held style and is just not very effective.

So they went to one of the creepiest places in the world to shoot their horror movie and then they shot it in a HAND-HELD style?

honestly what other film that came out between 2000-2010 was actually good.

List 'em out asswipes

Sunshine is the #1

Speed Racer is incredible...

No other good things came out

easily one of the best decades for film, ever.

lol I was drunk when I typed that but I honestly cant think of many films that came out last decade that I would consider classic. Shaolin Soccer was very good

Not a big movie watcher, but I thought Children of Men and The Departed were both great.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #15063 on:** October 06, 2012, 12:36:42 AM »

The Aughts had 7 Coen Brothers movies, so they couldn't have been all bad.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15064 on:** October 06, 2012, 12:43:48 AM »

Zodiac, No Country For Old Men, Children Of Men, There Will Be Blood...lots of great stuff.

Taken 2 was pretty shitty.

Looper was good, but they advertisewhixd it as this decades the Matrix,which is stupid cause its not an action movie and the decade just started.

in 2005, this masterpiece, and one of the greatest films of all-time (my personal favorite), came out:

What's actually worse is that the movie looks super clean and sterile and makes the fact that they aren't actually in Pripyat all the more noticeable. Terrible green screening.

Oh, it wasn't actually shot in Chernobyl? Well, there goes any remaining reason I had to watch this.

Yes that scene is cool, the movie is not.

He should have made a trippy movie like that with sound only, not pretend to make a full motion picture.

If you ever want to cure any lingering interest you might have in "found footage" movies, V/H/S will do it. It's shitty on every single level, from the terrible writing and pacing to the terrible acting to the $1 store special effects. I know it's getting close to Halloween, and you might want to rent it on Vudu or wherever hoping for some cheap creep, but stay the fuck away. It's like every creator involved (every segment is by a different "team") got together at Denny's after drinking all night and decided to write/cast/film the movie before sunrise.

I thought so too. I also kind of liked the generic slasher one too (3rd one I believe). The effect on the killer I thought was well done and kinda creepy. I thought the effects on the Haunted House one were pretty decent too.

I am genuinely envious of Sceneman's standards for female beauty. They are way healthier than my own.

I actually agree with him. I totes had a thing for Shelley Duvall when I watched The Shining.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15092 on:** October 07, 2012, 01:52:50 PM »

Some women aren't great looking (and certainly not ugly), but they look like they'd be so dirty in bed that they become hotter than actual hot women. Shelley Duvall is one of those women

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #15097 on:** October 07, 2012, 05:31:02 PM »

She has the eyes of a ten year old boy PD.

I watched The Dictator. I was basically unengaged for the first 10 mins or so, but started to accept its being for what it was, it got better and peaked with the milking scene. I'd give the milking scene 10/10, and the rest maybe a 5/10.

this girl is cute, though a tad overweight.

Doesn't look like it's taking itself very seriously. Could be fun; probably going to be as bad as Die Hard 4.0 though. :'(

Agreed. But I didn't get past the birth scene. I turned it off out of boredom because it pretty much made me realize that the movie was not for me.

I'm trying to guess whether Lincoln will be as bad as The Lone Ranger. I'm putting good money on yes, yes it will be.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #15104 on:** October 08, 2012, 07:16:43 PM »

Lincoln just looks... overwrought, like each line of dialog is the important thing ever said.

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #15105 on:** October 10, 2012, 06:45:37 PM »

Detention was basically funnier.

I didn't think much of The Innkeepers, the girl was annoyingly affected in her acting capabilities, and Kelly McGillis (old woman lol !) acted the shit out of her. The guy reminded me of the Community guy, but lacking a few vital chromosomes.

The title sequence and music was excellent though, as was the old guy in the basement shot.

I do want to see You're Next though, as it sounds totally sweet.

I saw Argo last night which I enjoyed.

But more memorable was the first trailer played before the movie. Tyler Perry is going to be an action star now.

VHS is ok. There are good bits.

Argo was great. Of the three movies Affleck directed it's easily the best.

So it was good and I found the concept intriguing, but my God, I really miss the old PTA who made Altman-esque ensemble films.

I think you're at this breaking point because The Master wasn't good. Punch Drunk and There Will Be Blood was great.

I watched Boogie Nights again a few months ago (hadn't seen it since it's release), and I think it's even better now. It's fearless and the casting is top notch. Even though the subject matter is a bit base and there isn't really any great insight .. I think the movie should be considered one of he best of it's decade.

ManaByte · « **Reply #15113 on:** October 14, 2012, 11:33:58 AM »

Warner even let Affleck start Argo with this:

There will probably be an extended version like The Town. It's exactly two hours, but there were scenes filmed where they're working on the script with Jack Kirby, and those weren't in the movie.

The drug deal scene near the end has to be one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.

Boogie Nights is the only PDA movie I like. Magnolia, PDL, TWBB all felt too full of themselves. It's like PTA thought he was the greatest director of all time after Boogie Nights received so much praise.
