Watched a pretty ****ed up movie last night on netflix -- "Alexandra's Project"
If you like emotional torture -- this is your movie... This is a Aussie movie -- not as disturbing as Funny Games but shit -- Isn't wild that they ban so many violent video games from hitting store shelves in their country but movies like this and Funny Games are welcome? trailer

Caught Thor in the theatre this weekend - Pretty Enjoyable. Loved the fish out of water feel and I thought the director did a pretty good job with mixing "mythology" with "Marvel Mythology". Although, it did leave a "waiting for Thor 2" feeling with me although not as bad as TESB did.
Been going through my DVD collection lately. Watched my "Thin Man" Boxed set (2 movies to go), To Have and Have Not (Bogie and Bacall), The War of the Worlds (George Pal version), Island in the Sky (John Wayne, a very under-rated movie), and Gojira (the original Japanese version of Godzilla minus Raymond Burr). Gojira is interesting because they definitely rewrote a LOT of the dialogue in the American remake. I think the original is a much stronger movie. Sure, it's still a guy in a Latex Dinosaur suit, but if can get beyond that, there's some very interesting philosophical concepts in the original.

Both versions of Funny Games were fantastic, though I preferred the remake. Same director, and nearly shot for shot, I just preferred the performances of Tim Roth et. al. to the German cast.

I also enjoyed Funny Games (both versions) -- I'd recommend watching Alexandra's Project.

Agreed -- but sub Naomi Watts and Michael Pitt for Tim Roth...

We laughed so hard! Hilarious movie. You were spot on with your take on it.

If anybody has a netflix and wants to watch a good bad movie, check out Santas Slay. Bill Goldberg as killer santa. Its worth your time.

I have not seen the German original but I've heard it's pretty much identical. |

The other day I caught a glimpse of The Quick and the Dead on TV. It is mind blowing how many name stars are in that movie. I still laugh out loud when I see sunlight coming through the bullet hole in Gene's chest.

Just finished watching Battle: Los Angeles... pretty ****ing terrible. A mountain of cliches heaped together. At various points in the movie it seems as though the writer just took lead characters from other alien flicks and transposed a weaker version into the script. I am still searching for some redeeming quality from the movie...
Oh yeah, Michelle Rodriguez reprises her role from Avatar. I should have known once she made an appearance I should just turn off the movie.
