I didn't notice a movie thread so I decided to make one. So would you recommend a good movie that you have seen recently to someone else? Recently (just an hour ago), I saw the movie "Tyrannosaur", it was super weird and scary (the husband made his wife infertile on purpose) and it almost made me cry. It's hard to follow - but it's super awesome if you decide to watch it (it's really truthful and gives the idea of how society is for everyone who lives in it). Do you have any good recommendations, I'm sure everyone loves a good film

I've kinda got into Korean films recently.
The Vengeance Trilogy is pretty sick. Oldboy is the best out of the three though, that film is a major head fuck.
Tale of Two Sisters is pretty good as well if you like horror. ;D

There is this one really good movie I say called The Warriors Way, the majority of the movie is in English (I believe the production was American, not too sure), as much as I dislike westernised East Asian movies, this one was actually good; anyone else saw it?
Ever since I got netflix I've been watching a bunch of movies like Fearless, Half Baked, but I also saw The Human Centipede 2 (I still don't see why people cringe so much, it's not THAT freaky and gruesome)

I saw the Human Centipede, I didn't think it was freaky or gruesome, I just thought it was a crap film

I think I'd like to see the Vengeance Trilogy, it sounds pretty interesting (I've seen a few Japanese and Chinese films, but none have been Korean so far). Horror films make me feel really sad when the character gets a mental breakdown or something similar to that , so I think I'll skip out on that.. Is the Human Centipede about a human who is also a centipede? It sounds like a freak-show thing o.o

Lol no the Human Centipede is not about a person/centipede hybrid... it's... much worse than that. If you're super-sensitive to grotesque ideas and isuals then dont watch it, but you can read the summary online Oh yeah I saw Hunger Games too... well not really since I fell asleep in the theater >.>

Human Centipede and it's sequel was Tom Six offending as many people as he could with a flick that was just terrible to watch. The second one was worse. Don't even bother. They're like Two Girls, One Cup: curiousity may be peaked, but you'll regret seeing it.
Yeah we saw the Hunger Games at midnight. Not bad, I liked the story premise and she loved the books. Enjoyable. I heard Battle Royale was better, so i'll be checking that out, but usually I stick to comedies or classic films. Actually been big on going through my movie collection. Going to watch the movies that have sequels or tie ins this summer.

You literally just took the words right out of my mouth Anth well for the human centipede part. I didn't find hunger games stimulating, I wont lie though the eye candy wasn't too bad

Haha yeah she wasn't complaining about the guy actors either. Wasn't much eye candy for me though. Oh well
Oh and I know it's not a movie, but Game of Thrones is fantastic

Battle Royale is pretty good but its ruined by the chessy love storylines. It needs more blood and action and less 'oh I always had a crush on you' bullsht.
and watever you do dont watch Battle Royale 2, it sucks big time.

I saw Red Cliffs for the first time a couple of weeks back. It was ok, I dont really understand why they made Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu BFF's 4eva It surely would have made a better film to have them both compete with each other, would have added much more character and plot development which was kinda lacking. Can't really argue with Chi Bi, it was done well but I wasn't to impressed with that stupid battle when who's his face was ambused and he got surrounded by shields, very lame. It was meh 6/10

Old Boy is one of the best movies ever, Mick. So good.
And Chi Bi was about as good as we're gonna do out of China for a semi-historical movie.
Anth; That would be Banlieu 13, or District 13. There is a sequel, Ultimatum, that is 100x better than the original if for no other reason than the fight scene in the faux-yakuza hangout at the beginning.
