Enemy
Honestly, the way my friend described the movie made me not want to watch but after watching it I really enjoyed it. He just said a twin brother comes and fucks his girl and his whole life up, and I thought it sounded stupid.

Enemy is so straightforward how could your friend fuck it up so badly hahaha


my short interpretation: (minor spoilers)

Spoiler:

it's about confronting your inner demons, the enemy within. the main character starts with a minor curiosity, he's hesitant but it soon grows to consume him. once he realizes how deep things go it's too late to back out

the spider room is an analogy for he whole film. you're given a key but you choose whether or not to go into the room. once you've been there, you're trapped. remember the guy in the elevator, he said he couldn't stop thinking about his night in the room

that's why there's that spider at the end, he moved on with life but he knows things will never be the same. except he sort of smiles because he's come to terms with it, his dark side. i think the film is about channeling fear to acceptance

I watched Grudge match last week. I'm usually a sucker for those kinda movies but good god, dat CGI Robert de niro! Man that was some horrible stuff. And the rest of the movie wasn't great either. I mean, without spoiling it, i think they should have had the flash back to their first fight at the end of the movie rather than the beginning. It would've meant something at the end.

Lol, you should be my go to guy for movie reviews. Yeah, he's a pretty blunt guy, still my best friend though.

@Firecracker - Yeah, I just assumed that movie was gonna be shitty and didn't even bother.

The Amazing Spiderman 2
Woah. The effects are amazing but it's almost what you would expect in this day in age, still great though. I feel this one actually overshadowed the prequel, if not at least lived up to. Big plus for me, I've had mostly bad experiences with sequels. Again, I haven't read any of the comics, so I don't know how accurate the timeline is. Not too sure about some of the bad guys in the movie,

Spoiler:

I've never heard of "Rhino".

Too little knowledge to constructively judge the accuracy of the movie, so I just won't bother. It's also notable that they changed a lot of things from the original Spiderman movies, switched out a lot of the bad guys Spiderman fights. I don't really know how accurate the initial Spiderman movies were either, so, again, I don't know which enemy's he's suppose to face first. The movie was still really enjoyable to watch, and again, a little cheese here and there but passable. That was a shock at the end too, I felt for Spidey

Spoiler:

I don't know if Gwen dies in the comics either

Yes, and the Rhino costume was done pretty nicely. Fairly similar to the Ultimate comics but at the same time has it's own concept.

Ah, well.

[Gary]

Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy last night. Jesus christ it was so good.

[Lord]

Recommend it? I think I might see that movie soon too.

[Gary]

Yes, I highly recommend it. It was better than the Avengers in my opinion.

[Daniël]

I'll be watching it as soon as there's a non-cam torrent available, haha. I might even watch it in the cinema.

Speaking of torrents, I have a hypothetical question. Imagine if someone would like to torrent a not so well known film that's been released recently, like, say, Wish I Was Here from Zach Braff. Where would this person have to go?

probably wherever you're already going, i frequently get lesser-known films, they just tend to take longer
you could always use one of those search engines that only searches torrent sites

enjoyed a few films:

Apocalypse Now - a fucking trip, loved it. need to see again
Cocaine Cowboys - good doc on the 80s Miami drug trade, reminded me of a lot of films
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - typical Wes Anderson charm, very pleasant
Fading Gigolo - good performances but not much drew my interest, i need to watch more Woody Allen films

also rewatched Spring Breakers, forgot how much i enjoy it

watched guardians of the galaxy, great film. really cliché at points, i think that was part of the humour though. either way, great film.

I normally use Kickass Torrents, but it really isn't up there. I might just have to search a bit more or wait and hope it will be more available soon.

Haven't had much time to watch movies recently, but I did watch these two:
The Wolf of Wallstreet
Enjoyable movie if you like fast-paced entertainment. Not really any good besides that, as the film doesn't really have a good message or whatever, just a fun plot that keeps you entertained.
The Avengers
A bit in the same genre as The Wolf of Wallstreet only more action and fantasy element. Not many feels, just a lot of stuff happening that keeps you well entertained for 2 hours.

[Mitch]

This is prolly worth a sticky.

[Stickid]

what the fuck man Wall Street has hard hitting commentary on greed, consumerism, sexism and loyalty. i was thinking it dwelled on the thought that humans may not be in the animal kingdom, but we are still animals within. just because a movie doesnt spell out all its deeper meanings doesn't mean it has none

[Mat]

Finally got around to seeing Enemy. I was certainly not disappointed. It did a great job of keeping that edgy feeling throughout the movie. I thought it was very entertaining and definitely worth seeing. Thanks for recommending it to me 5 months ago Stickid.
