Funny People

Basically, eveeything you posted.

I think In The Loop was already released also. I also want to hear more about the Sinatra movie that Scorsese is doing.

[mitch_h]

The White Ribbon - Michael Haneke film, won the Palme D'Or at Cannes this year.

[thedamndest]

The Road is one of the best books I've read all year. It's written by the same gentleman who wrote No Country for Old Men.

[Jeritron]

The author sounds great, but I saw the trailer for the movie and it looked pretty awful.

I guess we'll find out

[thedamndest]

I honestly don't know how well it will translate to screen. There's only two characters in the book and not that much dialogue.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Informant! - Matt Damon becomes a rat to take down the company he works for

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Invention of Lying - "A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain." Looks like it could go either way, but the cast is phenomenal: Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Jonah Hill, Rob Lowe, Tina Fey, Jeffrey Tambor, Christopher Guest, Jason Bateman, Patrick Stewart

Shutter Island - Scorsese and Leo so you know it's gonna be incredible, but also with Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo

Seriously? :wtf:

[Xerzes]

Do not see Antichrist. You will see terrible things, with no purpose.

Don't say no one warned you.

[Danny Electric]

Do not see Antichrist. You will see terrible things, with no purpose.

Don't say no one warned you.


Have you already seen it?
I've heard the performance in it are excellent.

[Zeeboe]

The Halloween sequel, Inglourious Basterds, Funny People, Big Fan, and Taking Woodstock all look pretty groovy. :y: I need to look more into The Road and AntiChrist. They look like they could be promising.

[loopydate]

The Hurt Locker. Kathryn Bigelow knows how to hang with the boys in terms of directing.

This. I've been hearing incredible things about Hurt Locker.

[Jon Kano]

Where The Wild Things Are and Inglorious Basterds is the only ones that springs to mind right now.

[road doggy dogg]

A bunch of those sound really good but since I am terrible with movies I'll probably end up not seeing anything mentioned in this thread.

According to imdb.com it was released last October.

[ClockShot]

According to imdb.com it was released last October.

Probably at the film festivals.

I saw the trailer when I went and saw The Brothers Bloom about a month and a half ago.

Now I'm not a big movie guy but those three movies you showed trailers for look really good. Especially Shutter Island.

Though I just can't stand Rick Gervais. Everything about him just pisses me off in a way. If the role in The Invention of Lying was played by someone else, in my opinion, it would be a much better film. But I think just this once, I'm going to look past Gervais and go see the film anyway.

[thedamndest]

I think Gervais is a pretty solid choice. I loved him in the Office and in Extras. I'm just glad Will Ferrell isn't in this.

[ct2k]

In the Loop is supposed the be brilliant, it was written by Armando Iannucci so I'd say that's likely to be accurate:y:

[Jon Kano]

Armando Iannucci.....fucking genius.

Friday/Saturday Night Armistice...Alan Partridge....Brass Eye....Day To Day News?....loved em all.

[Cool King]

Zombieland - Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, theyre about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

[Hardkore Kidd J]

Final Destination 4, The Halloween Sequel, Funny People. That's all I can really think of at the moment.

[Buzzkill]

Going to see the Hurt Locker today. Will let allyall know how it is.

[Triple A]

Hurt Locker was a fucking awful, boring movie.

Made me angry. Wanted to walk out like 5 times.

Pointless piece of shit movie with horrible unlikeable/undeveloped characters.

[Confused]

Can't wait to see Inglorious Basterds and Shutter Island.

Also looking forward to Moon. Seen a few trailers and heard great things about it.

[mitch_h]

Some movies have been announced for the approaching festival season, my interest lies more in the talent involved than the actual stories themselves.

Enter the Void - New Gaspar Noe film.
Life During Wartime - Todd Solondz
Broken Embraces - Pedro Almodovar
Leaves of Grass.An Ivy League professor is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown, where his twin brother, a small-time pot grower, has concocted a scheme to take down a local drug lord. Edward Norton plays both twins.

[Good News Gertie]

(500) Days of Summer
Cold Souls
Grace

[OssMan]

Watched some of these... anybody watched some of these

We was all excited for em and now its been 15 years they out... so let's take a look back and review

I had to watch Broken Embraces for like 3 different classes a few years after this post... just saw the new "Almodovar" a couple days ago "the room next door"

"Extract" is kinda funny

Big Fan was good I think... where he follows his favorite nfl player into the ghetto. Yea

[Destor]

A Serious Man - One of the Ceons most underrated. Really really good flick


Antichrist - great body horror flick. Probably my favorite Lars Von Trier movie. At least top 3.


Bruno - completely unrewatchable but i pissed myself laughing the first time i saw it


Funny People - the beginning of the fall in Judd Apatow for me. Also its why Sandler wasnt in Inglorious Basterds and that always bums me out



Inglorious Basterds - my favorite Tarantino picture. One of my very favorite films.


Shutter Island - fine. Neither dicaprios nor Scorseses best.


Up- 2nd favorite pixar film only behind WallE.


(500) days of summer- really sweet film. I like it a ton. The female lead is lovely



Zombieland - the sequel is rubbish but the first one is a really fun outing. I love zombie films and at this time a zombie comedy was a real novel idea.


Final destination 4- the worst in the series. By a lot.

[poopfromweiner dude]

saw a lot/most of these movies

even humpday (I think it was ok)

[OssMan]

yea A Serious Man was good

Bruno I still quote a lot... "iPod U2 edition ever heard of it ?"

Agree 100p% with zombieland... saw the first one in theaters and it was fun, second one i just thought "why did they make this"

Up was huge when it came out

[Destor]

I watched the 2nd zombieland in the lead up to Halloween last year. I liked Zoey Deutch in it and that all the complements i have for it

[OssMan]

Just watched Hump Day. It was ok but disappointing

[Seanny One Ball]

QT stopped making great films a long long time ago and nobody noticed because the dialogue was still so obviously Tarantino, the cast always covered for the set pieces and the set pieces were just ludicrous enough to completely distract folk from the gaping plot holes and lack of sense.

Every time a critic savages a comedy film I think "You can apply that logic to everything Tarantino did after Jackie Brown" and yet he gets away with it time and time again because people prefer spectacle to sensible and there's a bizarre belief in Hollywood critics that doing anything to get an excited reaction is more honourable than doing anything to get a laugh.


I could only hate him more if he was somehow giving everybody cancer too, and I wouldn't put it past him.

Oh and "Funny People" is a much better film than "Inglourious Basterds".
"Funny People" is like being disappointed in a friend for relapsing straight after rehab whereas "Inglourious Basterds" is more like watching your friend steal money from you to spend on OnlyFans subscriptions and hearing "No you signed up for that yourself" when confronted.

[Big Vic]

Becoming Led Zeppelin should be a nice watch. Love a good doc.

[Destor]

Seanny has surprisingly bad taste

[Seanny One Ball]

Everything he did in the 90's was tits, everything after is like a bot trying to be human.
