Re: Movies Talk
Schindler's list easily tops any serious film fans list as most recommended.. Finally got around watching it last month, I gotta say it's not my cuppa tea.. I don't know why, its not the black and white, it's just that I dont get it..



The same goes with citizen kane, I don't get the big deal about it.. Still prefer Stanley Kubrick's works anytime of the day

Re: Movies Talk
A few good movies I've seen in teh past 1 year or so (no particular order):

Black Swan

Leon: The Professional

Wall-E

Inception

The Departed

Good Night and Good Luck

Shawshank Redemption

Silence of the Lambs

Goodfellas

Casino

A Bronx Tale

Stardust

Scent of a Woman

The Forbidden Kingdom

Once Upon a Time in China

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Sleuth (the original, not that remake w/ Jude Law)

Gattaca

Sherlock Holmes

Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels

Snatch

Sunshine

SeaBiscuit

The Men Who Stare at Goats

True Grit



Speaking of Jeff Bridges (until recently quite underrated): The Big Lebowski was a very fun movie. Coen Brothers went away from their dark comedy side (a bit). A Top 5 all time for me. Up there w/ Shawshank, The Godfather & Fight Club in my opinion.





And a few non-Hollywood fims:

Rashomon

Okuribito

Kondo wa Aisaika (A Good Husband)

Ip Man

Hero

Fearless

Life is Beautiful

Re: Movies Talk
a couple of must-watchs action films in yr 2011:



- warrior (mixed martial art film, brotherhood, family)

- real steel (robot boxing, really good film too)

- unknown (assassin with a loss of memory, trying to find out who he is... love the unexpected (at least for me) twist in the film)

Seen oredi...

@ the first 15mins or so, is the CGI filled "Singapore Kanna Attack by Terrorist" scenario that's too fake and cartoon lah. The only laughable part is 王雷 and his fellow buddies get activated for reservist to react to counter-attack part, quite funny... but not so much that chio until you peng.

The funny part is the recall of memories of NS during the 60s, 70s and 80s. That's the part you'll feel very heart warming becos it makes you recall back the kind of training you get during your BMT during the late 80s to 90s.

That 60s, 70s, 80s CB sargeant tekan recruit part is the most funny one... that you must not sleep over that.

Got some learning lesson also... why a CB leave is known as CB leave explained. But the most crucial part kanna mosiac-ed.



All in all, i give it 3/5 nia... funny part ok... not not really that much ley...

Of course, in Jack Neo movies suan cheng hu part still available... but not really too much...



Whoa... i'm surprised that camp 3 in tekong changed so much! Last time my 5mths BMT there... no really that great ley... Nowadays to standby toilet liao huh? NB...

Re: Movies Talk
I just watched it. I rate 2/5. I had high expectation but didn't turn out as good as I thought it will be.



I think I noticed, his movies, although it's supposed to be a comedy, he always have to slot in something emotional, sad or somebody doing something stupid and be remorseful about it...



Hate that. I prefer Amy Daze over this.... too much drama in a comedy.

to me, 2/5 consider fail. :D maybe i will just buy a DVD from JB :twisted:



i think he is running out of ideas liao. he shld shoot a erotic movie abt his toyota alphard and then slot in something emotional after everyone know he did something stupid. :lol:

Re: Attack of the CLONES
Attack of the clones still not as bad as The Phantom Menace . Jar jar binks should never have existed :x . I think the saving grace for AOTC is the Lightsaber duel :) . Out of the 3 prequels , Revenge of the Sith is the best , or at least to me , it is .
