I think my favorite twist ending of all time is Saw. I don't think I've been so "HOLY SHIT!!" Faced at the end of a movie like I was the first time I saw it. I then proceeded to tell everyone I know to watch it.

Yeah that caught me off guard too. That first film is actually pretty decent. I hated the second one, and liked a couple of the ones after that, but most of them sort of blend together after the first one.

I always liked the ending of Dark City. Quality sci-fi. Very unique film. Highly recommend for any sci-fi fan and anyone that likes films in general.

And for surprise endings? Try Old Boy.

Recent stuff I saw:

Flight: 5/10 - Sucked IMO. Denzel is good. Goodman is fucking awesome as usual, but the film is not really about flying or the investigation at all. It's pretty fucking lame.

God Bless America: 4/10 - Really wanted to like this, but it's just REALLY awkward. Surprise considering it's about a child molesterish guy traveling the country w/ young pretty teenager killing random assholes. This could of actually been an awesome film if the production team had a deft hand..... the formula is really spot on considering the general state of pop culture and ignorance of the masses.

Silent Hill: Revelations: 4/10 - It had Sean Bean in it so it didn't get a 0.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yep, Old Boy is an excellent one. That director has Stoker coming out his week. His English language debut!

The Last King of Scotland: 10/10

Has nothing to do with Scotland. It's supposed to be based on a true story. It's not. What it is however is a great movie about the craziness that was Idi Amin, the brutal dictator who killed about 300,000 Ugandans.

Yea..the first one was ok, but this one was just horrible. How can you make it worse?

 

[purbeast0]

i watched silent hill revelations saturday night after getting back from a bar and have no clue wtf i watched. i also was falling asleep through it because it was bad.

What. What did you expect?

The investigation was spot-on about Denzel's alcohol consumption. The story was about his struggle with alcoholism.

What 'investigation' and 'flying' were you expecting?

8. Alien 3 <-- I need to re-watch this as I read a very good dissection of the film which shed a different light on the film.

what dissection? Can you link to it?

 

[KeithTalent]

what dissection? Can you link to it?

Yeah it's Kurt from Row Three; posted at Twitch Film: http://twitchfilm.com/2012/06/ripleys-inferno-deep-down-you-love-alien3.html

Even if you hate the film, it's a good read.

Jeff, Who loves at home 8.7/10
Hilarious movie with some emotion behind it. Loved it from the beginning till the end.

I was pleasantly surprised with this one as well. Enjoyable movie!

Yeah same, I liked it even more than Cyrus.

I did watch a few movies on the several hours long flight across the Pacific Ocean.

Zero Dark Thirty - 8/10. The movie was decent but I gave it extra point due to the (mostly) honest telling of long and dirty hard work of the men/women of our military.

Argo - 7/10. It was not bad but I did not think it was not that (Oscar worthy). The scences of the bad guys tried to catch them and cars chasing the airplane was a bit over the top and not really belieable.

Good Day To Die ie. Die In Russia - 5/10. Shooting, blowing stuffs up, and more shooting and blowing stuffs, rinse and repeat. LOL @ all the shooting and blowing stuffs up and cops were no where to be found. Cute Russia chick and nice little twist at the end = saving grace.

Lincoln - 8/10. DL was super as the President. Oscar win was well earned.

Assault of the Killer Bimbos

Frankly, I cant explain it. You simply must see this for yourselves.

 

[blankslate]

I always liked the ending of Dark City. Quality sci-fi. Very unique film. Highly recommend for any sci-fi fan and anyone that likes films in general.

Dark City 8/10, subjectively I'd give it a 9/10 just for having Jennifer Connelly in it.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I may be strange, but I liked all the alien movies. Clearly 1 and 2 were the best though.

FWIW: AvP 1 was bad but AvP 2 was actually watchable. Not great but worth seeing.

 

[Slick Mcflicken]

Just watched Taxi Driver the other night with Robert De Nero, haven't seen this movie in years. Was a good watch 8/10.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075314/

It reminds me of the taxi driver episode from the Heavy Metal movie cartoon. I guess that's where the got the idea from.

I think Resurrection kinda sucked, but I've read that there was some bad blood between the creative types and corporate goons; so not sure if it properly should have sucked, or if it got butchered in post-production.

The Hobbit - 9/10

Avengers - 10/10

Snow White and the Huntsman - 8/10

Skyfall - 7/10

Expendables 2 - 9/10

 

[ImpulsE69]

Smiley - 2/10 Just bad bad bad. Characters were completely unbelievable and unlikeable. I have no issues with crazy dumb horror movie stories and plots, but the characters just ruined it with their completely stupid actions and script.

The Collector - 6/10 - decent Saw-ish type slasher movie.

The Collection - 8/10 - Sequel to the above and much better overall I thought. It picks up where the first one leaves off. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

The Cold Light of Day 1/10
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_cold_light_of_day/?nopopup=true

Complete waste of time.

 

[Lifted]

Teddy Bear. 8/10 It's a Danish film on Netflix with English subs. Pretty amazing that it's from a first time director. Totally awkward film, and if you like that type of flick this one is great.

It's based on a short film the director made 6 or 7 years ago which is up on youtube. If you have any interest you should definitely watch the movie first as the 15 - 20 minute short would spoil the impact of the movie.

The Cold Light of Day 1/10
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_cold_light_of_day/?nopopup=true

Complete waste of time.

Bruce Willis has had a run of mediocre/terrible straight-to-DVD/Netflix movies lately. Must be hurting for cash.

Red Dawn (Remake)-5.5/10
From reviews, I thought it was going to be a total shit-show, but honestly, it wasn't that bad. Acting is alright, plot is pretty much exactly the same as the original, but with less likelihood/cultural relevance (Although with NK's recent nuclear threats, maybe not).
Bottom line is that it was a decently entertaining popcorn flick, with lots of guns and explosions. Plus I'm a sucker for any underdog/invasion/resistance movies. It lacked the spirit of the original, though I did get a kick out of one homage, but it was enjoyable as a straight-up action film.

Due Date - 7/10 I watched this with the wife tonight and we both thought it was a great comedy, full of laughs. I really enjoy Zach Galifianakis, and his humor was a great compliment to RDJ. They worked perfectly together as a comedy duo, and in conflict (which there was a lot of). This movie definitely delivered the laughs, even though it did seem a bit long and sometimes boring. Overall a really decent comedy.
