Acting was shit, but conceptually the film is very interesting and the cinematography holds your attention enough that the quality of the acting isn't that important, relatively speaking.

By cinematography do you mean constant flashing lights? I actually couldn't watch that because of the incessant annoying lights..

I love "Enter the Void" as well.

I watched "Drive" thanks to a few Twoism friends and two co-workers outside of the internet. Loved every single aspect of it. Especially Gosling's character and that music!

Drive was sick. Super psyched for Gosling/Refn's next film together called "Only God Forgives." See trailer below.

Fantastic movie! And Scarlett Johanson... need I say more :shock:


I now have two celebrity crushes. Maya Arulpragasam and Scarlett Johansson.

Oh, Scarlett.

Watched "The Hunt" recently. A real gut-wrencher of a movie with a superb performance by Mads Mikkelsen.

I watched Woody Allen's Manhatten last night, absolutely brilliant.

Almost as good as Annie Hall, and Annie Hall is in my top 10 of all time.

*Finally* watched Eraserhead. Sad it took me so long to get to it, what a film!

Watched Life In A Day after a night of partying - beautiful. Not sleeping somehow made the movie more emotional.

reviving this thread.

we need a singular film discussion thread, not a whole glut of them, makes it difficult to navigate if I want to post something somewhere.

Anyway, I watched the film Love Exposure last night, written/directed by Sion Sono, who's quickly becoming one of my favourite film makers.

I can't really say why I liked it, or why anyone else should watch it, but do so. It's 4 hours, so take yourself a day off or something and just be enveloped in the insanity that is Love Exposure.

The Drama: I don’t watch many romantic comedies but this the best film I have ever seen! I saw it three times. This has redefined how I view cinema.

The Devil Wears Prada 2: the love interest was mild, meek and kind of sweet. The movie got better when he entered but unfortunately he didn’t buy anything.

Marty Supreme: I loved the raw ambition of the ping-pong player but he became weak when he saw the baby, he should have paddled it.
