Oodishun/Audition.

This widowed Japenese guy is persuaded by his son to find a new wife. Working in the film industry, he decides to hold a fake audition, after discussions with his friend. The audition, which young girls think is for a new movie, is designed to find a new wife.

In the waiting room, the movie guy(dont know his name, Japanese) spots a lonely quiet girl in the corner. He is attracted to her, and sets out to get her. They go on various dates, but her history is vague, and when the man checks it out, spurred on by his suspicious friends, no-one has heard of her.

He is still attracted, but his decision to get married(I think) to her has consequences.

It's slow starting, but the end sequence is brilliant. Great directing.

Japanese, but with English subtitles.

i just want to re-iderate BLOOD, GUTS, BULLETS, AND OCTANE. its about these two guys that own a little used car dealership and its right next to the biggest used car dealership in world. their business is going under, and their 'bidder' (the guy who gets cars for them -and has been screwing them over for months) fails to get them a 'list' but offers them one car (a 1963 pontiac LeMans convertable) worth 250,000 dollars (obviously because of what is in the trunk). they tell the guy to **** off with that deal, but then they get evicted from their car lot, and decide to take the deal. and hilarity ensues as they get mixed up in a bunch of underworld shit.

i think the movie is catagorized as a black comedy. its sorta like pulp fiction because it has different 'chapters', but the movie goes in chronological order. its sort of like the usual suspects, but i think its better. and the end is great(when you find out whats in the trunk of the car).

Once Were Warriors.

Set in urban Auckland (New Zealand) this movie tells the story of the Heke family. Jake Heke is a violent man who beats his wife frequently when drunk, and yet obviously loves both her and his family. The movie follows a period of several weeks in the family's life showing Jake's frequent outburst of violence and the effect that this has on his family. The youngest son is in trouble with the police and may be put into a foster home while the elder son is about to join a street gang. Jake's daughter has her own serious problems which are a key element in the plot.

PUMPKIN

PLOT: Perky, perfect Carolyn and her Alpha Omega Pi sisters plan to win Sorority of the Year by impressing the Greek Council with a killer charity: coaching mentally challenged athletes for the regional Challenged Games. When Carolyn's assigned to coach Pumpkin she's terrified at first, but soon sees in him something she's never seen before: a gentle humanity and honest clarity that touches her soul. To the horror of her friends and Pumpkin's overprotective mother, Carolyn falls in love, becoming an outcast in the process. As Carolyn's "perfect life" falls apart, Pumpkin teaches her that perfect isn't always perfect after all.

THOUGHTS: At first, I thought it was going to be a girl movie, something that would bore me to tear. As the movie progresses, you really get engrossed by the story and the characters. You have to love Christina Ricci in this, and the guy, Pumpkin, is so great that he makes the movie by himself. The mother of Pumpkin is so despicable that you would want to rip her head off. All the characters and their personnal evolution makes this a great movie.

First things first. Eraserhead was awesome I saw it in the theater a couple of years ago along with Dune. but my choice is: Jesus' Son

A gentle and usually mellow young man, who sometimes knows things before they happen and gets vibes of premonition, tell us his story: how he met Michelle in Iowa in 1971, how he got the name ****head, how she introduced him to heroin and their falling in love, his thieving, his hospital work and their time in Chicago when she gets pregnant, detox, going to Phoenix to live, AA meetings and a dance, working at a care center where he learns to touch the residents, and modifying his daily schedule so that he passes a neighboring Mennonite household at the right time to hear the wife sing Gospel songs in the shower. Slowly, very slowly, FH lets his gifts emerge.

Ishtar - 1987

OK, my bet is 9/10 people here will probably hate this movie. It's been called one of the biggest flops ever. But I think it's hilarious. Two crappy lounge singers (Dustin Hoffman & Warren Beatty) get a gig in Morocco and become involved in an international conflict with people trying to overthrow the Ishtar regime. It has a 3.7 rating on IMDb but I just think this movie was way befre it's time. The jokes about camels are hilarous.

I remember when that movie first debuted, part of it's downfall was it's big name actors in it failing to make the story better than it was. It didn't deliver on it's hyped promises. Sort of like Water World. When you look at it years away from it's release date and everything that went with it, good or bad, you can watch it and appreciate it better.

Post Man another Costner movie would be my pick. my selection for this thread and its purpose.

**Confused** · 05-30-2004, 10:44 PM

Intacto.

A great spanish movie i had the luck of picking up for a fiver at HMV.

The story works on the idea that luck is something which can be traded/betted/stolen. People who have come to realise this play high stake games risking their lives at the very least for more luck.

The story follows one such person who has managed to walk away the only survivor of a plane crash...from there we follow him until his showdown in a desert casino with Max Von Sydow who plays the luckiest man on the planet.

I'd recommend this for the scripting, the direction...the scene in the woods where they race blindfolded is fantastic,and the acting, Von Sydow's reminiscing of his childhood and time in a concentration camp in particular,are superb.

I'd say it won't be long before it gets remade so see it before we get a shite, diluted version.

PAID IN FULL(2002)
Starring:
Mekhi Phifer as Mitch
Wood Harris as Ace Boogie
Cam'Ron as Rico

The movie takes place in the mid-80's and starts off with the 3 at a house eatin chinese. Ace gets a pge sayin his girl was havin a baby. He gets to his moms house and he's pulled in and attacked. He arrives at the hospital lookin like he's dead then he closes his eyes and the movie rewinds about a year. Ace at this time is a regular 9 to 5 guy workin at the cleaners and Mitch is a big time drug dealer. While makin drop offs Ace meets a hispanic guy and takes his clothes to the cleaners. Checkin for keys and stuff in the pants at the cleaners Ace discovers $100 worth of cocaine. He returns it to the guy which will eventually lead Ace into the drug dealin game. Mitch gets locked up for a shootin so thats when Ace becomes a dealer. While locked up Mitch gets into a fight and Rico helps him. They become friends and when the 2 get released they join Ace and make a major money off dealin. Calvin, who was Ace's sisters boyfriend got locked up before Ace starts dealin, comes back into play and wants a spot. Ace gives him a spot to work in but wont allow Calvin to actually deal the drugs because he's fresh out of jail. At first Calvin was against it but wasnt fightin it but he grows weary of the person workin his corner. He confronts Ace bout it and brings up the fact that he hooked up Mitch when he just got out of jail. Ace told him to be cool or bounce, he bounces. Which then leads to the part where Ace is attacked. Calvin wants it all from the safe at Ace's moms house. Theres nothing in it. Calvin kills both Ace's sister and her friend. Ace ends up getting pistol whipped a million times and shot in the neck and head. Ace survives but while he's recoverin he's not able to meet up with the connect to get the cocaine to move. Mitch is accepting it but Rico is gettin ansy. Mitch's little brother gets kidnapped and the ransom is $500,000. Ace gets Mitch 14 ki's to move for the ransom money. Mitch calls Rico to help him move the units. Rico kills Mitch and took the ki's. Ace is suspectin it was him and sets Rico up with the feds. Mitch's little brother was found dead. Mitch's heroin addict uncle Ice kidnapped him after Mitch whooped Ice's ass and kicked him out. At the end Ace gets out the game and sells a bag of diamonds he got from the hispanic guy after the guy was killed. The ending sees Ace lookin at the makin of a hip hop video sayin how you dont need to hustle you just gotta act like it.

All in all that movie is the shit. You grow to love some of the characters and be upset when some shit happens to them. It was directed by Damon Dash,the coCEO of Rocafella Records, who also directed Paper Soldiers(2003) and State Property 2(2005). He also produced all 3 of the previously mentioned as a State Propert(2001). He also directed alot of Rocafella Records music videos. Its a good movie with only one rap star in it opposed to the other films mentioned. I give it a good 7.5/10

Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself.

The good-hearted Harbour has spent his whole life trying to take care of his motherless and suicidal little brother, Wilbur. The brothers are inseparable. When in their thirties, they lose their father and inherit his second-hand bookshop. One day Alice enters the shop with her little daughter. Alice is a cleaning lady at the nearby hospital and she sells the books that the patients leave behind. The daughter Mary yearns for a home where the books don't always get sold. Harbour falls in love with Alice and soon all four of them are closely intertwined in each other's lives - and perhaps even deaths.

----

basically, it's a dark comedy from scotland, although it was written in scandanavia somewhere i think. The humour is really dry and dark, and it's probably the funniest film I remember seeing whilst I've been going to the cinema. Read up on it, cause I don't remember a huge amount, cept that it ruled and was funny.

**The Infamous** · 05-31-2004, 08:21 PM

ok for Champion Of Europa....
YOu should Paid In Full because its a grippin movie. It lets you see how and why most drug dealers become drug dealers. If you 're white you probably wont like it because you'll see it as another "gangsta flick". But its really good movie, and Doug E. Fresh as a guest spot performin.

Run Lola Run. A bit like sliding doors but without all the romance nonsense and a much cleverer insight on the whole notion of fate. Plus it has Franka Potente. One million reps to whomever posts a picture of her from that film.

Waiting For Guffman

IMO, the best movie done by the Christopher Guest project people (A Mighty Wind, Spinal Tap, Best In Show)

When you watch the movie, note that every time one of the actors is doing a monologue to the camera, its an improvisation. Coming from an actor's standpoint, that is some amazing working. Christopher Guest laid down the bare bones of the story, and the actors added their bits in the improvs, and the whole movie was shaped around that. It is the perfect movie of how NOT to produce a stage show.

**The Mask** · 06-01-2004, 04:26 PM

Okay, since supreme is a bastard and he's made sure nobodys gonna watch my film now, I'll recommend another.

La Mala Educacion (bad education)

It's a spanish film... i just saw it at the cinema and I'm at pains for a way to describe it without spoiling anything. It's about two men who fell in love at boarding school as children, while they were abused by the priest who ran the place. Anyway, it shows various states of their growth until they're adults in the 70s, which is when the movie is set I think.

God, it's impossible to give you a rough idea without fucking up the film completely. It's not the greatest film I've ever seen, but it's good and any of you who watch a lot of films would probably enjoy it. except supreme, cause he hates me

Lady Snow Blood.

This is the film that Quinton T. remade/used as his main source of material for Kill Bill. There is even a song from this move in Kill Bill (It plays when Oren is killed.) here is the plot:

It is the turn of the century. Yuki is a woman in search of revenge, in search of 4 people who killed her father and older brother before she was born. At that time, rumors circulated that men dressed in white were tax collectors - so it was awfully unfortunate for him, a school teacher on his way to his new job at a small village, to be wandering around in a brand-new white suit.

After mercilessly killing him, the miscreants beat and rape Yuki's mother, and one of them takes her to Tokyo to use as his slave. She murders him in revenge, but is imprisoned for life before she can hunt down the other three. By seducing the prison guards, she becomes pregnant, and dies soon after she gives birth to Yuki. As she lies dying, surrounded by her fellow prisoners, she prays that Yuki will complete her vengeance.
One of the other prisoners and a priest raise Yuki. The priest trains Yuki in the arts of death, so that she may be able to fulfill her mother's dying wish.

As she follows the clues that lead her to each of the remaining 3 marked for death, Yuki soon becomes known throughout Japan as Lady Snowblood!

**big_bluto** · 06-02-2004, 11:32 AM

Can't decide!
I'm stuck between my 4 favourite films:

National Lampoons Animal House
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077975/
Absolutely fantastic college campus comedy starring the late, great John Belushi. TOGA!

Blues Brothers
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080455/
One of the greatest comedies ever, with about 100 cameos, and the best soundtrack ever.

Happy Gilmore
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116483/
Adam Sandler, playing a failed hockey player, playing golf. Utterly stupid, and mind-numbingly hilarious.

Joe Dirt
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245686/
David Spade is Joe Dirt, a total loser in a bizarre search for his parents who dumped him in a trash can in the grand canyon when he was six. Features Brittany Daniels getting off a horse in denim hotpants..

. Worth watching for that clip alone!

Anyway, I can't decide between these 4 movies, and would recommend buying all of them.
If you haven't seen any of them, then do so now!

At first Calvin was against it but wasnt fightin it but he grows weary of the person workin his corner. He confronts Ace bout it and brings up the fact that he hooked up Mitch when he just got out of jail. Ace told him to be cool or bounce, he bounces. Which then leads to the part where Ace is attacked. Calvin wants it all from the safe at Ace's moms house. Theres nothing in it. Calvin kills both Ace's sister and her friend. Ace ends up getting pistol whipped a million times and shot in the neck and head. Ace survives but while he's recoverin he's not able to meet up with the connect to get the cocaine to move. Mitch is accepting it but Rico is gettin ansy. Mitch's little brother gets kidnapped and the ransom is $500,000. Ace gets Mitch 14 ki's to move for the ransom money. Mitch calls Rico to help him move the units. Rico kills Mitch and took the ki's. Ace is suspectin it was him and sets Rico up with the feds. Mitch's little brother was found dead. Mitch's heroin addict uncle Ice kidnapped him after Mitch whooped Ice's ass and kicked him out. At the end Ace gets out the game and sells a bag of diamonds he got from the hispanic guy after the guy was killed. The ending sees Ace lookin at the makin of a hip hop video sayin how you dont need to hustle you just gotta act like it. All in all that movie is the shit. You grow to love some of the characters and be upset when some shit happens to them. It was directed by Damon Dash,the coCEO of Rocafella Records, who also directed Paper Soldiers(2003) and State Property 2(2005). He also produced all 3 of the previously mentioned as a State Propert(2001). He also directed alot of Rocafella Records music videos. Its a good movie with only one rap star in it opposed to the other films mentioned. I give it a good 7.5/10

The Mask That Entenbrot, The Mask Posts: 56,852	http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0329767/ Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself. The good-hearted Harbour has spent his whole life trying to take care of his motherless and suicidal little brother, Wilbur. The brothers are inseparable. When in their thirties, they lose their father and inherit his second-hand bookshop. One day Alice enters the shop with her little daughter. Alice is a cleaning lady at the nearby hospital and she sells the books that the patients leave behind. The daughter Mary yearns for a home where the books don't always get sold. Harbour falls in love with Alice and soon all four of them are closely intertwined in each other's lives - and perhaps even deaths. ---- basically, it's a dark comedy from scotland, although it was written in scandanavia somewhere i think. The humour is really dry and dark, and it's probably the funniest film I remember seeing whilst I've been going to the cinema. Read up on it, cause I don't remember a huge amount, cept that it ruled and was funny.

The Infamous The Avenger's Sidekick Posts: 55	ok for Champion Of Europa.... YOu should Paid In Full because its a grippin movie. It lets you see how and why most drug dealers become drug dealers. If you 're white you probably wont like it because you'll see it as another "gangsta flick". But its really good movie, and Doug E. Fresh as a guest spot performin.

91 Posts: 14,008	Run Lola Run. A bit like sliding doors but without all the romance nonsense and a much cleverer insight on the whole notion of fate. Plus it has Franka Potente. One million reps to whomever posts a picture of her from that film.

Boomer The Wretched Posts: 4,690	Waiting For Guffman IMO, the best movie done by the Christopher Guest project people (A Mighty Wind, Spinal Tap, Best In Show) When you watch the movie, note that every time one of the actors is doing a monologue to the camera, its an improvisation. Coming from an actor's standpoint, that is some amazing working. Christopher Guest laid down the bare bones of the story, and the actors added their bits in the improvs, and the whole movie was shaped around that. It is the perfect movie of how NOT to produce a stage show.

The Mask That Entenbrot, The Mask Posts: 56,852	Okay, since supreme is a bastard and he's made sure nobodys gonna watch my film now, I'll recommend another. http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0275491/ La Mala Educacion (bad education) It's a spanish film... i just saw it at the cinema and I'm at pains for a way to describe it without spoiling anything. It's about two men who fell in love at boarding school as children, while they were abused by the priest who ran the place. Anyway, it shows various states of their growth until they're adults in the 70s, which is when the movie is set I think. God, it's impossible to give you a rough idea without fucking up the film completely. It's not the greatest film I've ever seen, but it's good and any of you who watch a lot of films would probably enjoy it. except supreme, cause he hates me

big_bluto Triple A's a bitch Posts: 1,039	Can't decide! I'm stuck between my 4 favourite films: National Lampoons Animal House http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077975/ Absolutely fantastic college campus comedy starring the late, great John Belushi. TOGA! Blues Brothers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080455/ One of the greatest comedies ever, with about 100 cameos, and the best soundtrack ever. Happy Gilmore http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116483/ Adam Sandler, playing a failed hockey player, playing golf. Utterly stupid, and mind-numbingly hilarious. Joe Dirt http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245686/ David Spade is Joe Dirt, a total loser in a bizarre search for his parents who dumped him in a trash can in the grand canyon when he was six. Features Brittany Daniels getting off a horse in denim hotpants.. . Worth watching for that clip alone! Anyway, I can't decide between these 4 movies, and would recommend buying all of them. If you haven't seen any of them, then do so now!
