Wasn't there a thread about this? I had it for a while in my wishlist I am pretty sure. Anyway, I'll get into it when I am done with Order of the Sinking Star... no more than 100 hours to go I assume :D

Oh I saw that in the summer at the NIFFF. In my life I have seen more indonesian comedies and horror movies than I wished (on account of going for several years to a film festival specialized in popular asian cinema) and most are terrible. Now and then though there is a film that is ok. That's...

Pretty decent movie, a little more action oriented and convoluted than the 2007 original it is based on, also much longer which does not serve it necessarily. It's nice that Jacky Chan in his 70s is still limber enough to do action on screen without it being cringe (the same cannot be said for...

Thanks for nothing. I was like "Oh! I saw this movie a couple years back at the NIFFF", checked... it was in 11 years ago :( I am not sure of the version I saw, but obviously not the 4k restauration. It might have been the early 2000 director's cut that was compiled from some archive that was...

Saw that last year. The satire is very heavy handed and the film pretty boring. A miss for me.

Very original. Also: very bad. Unintelligible story in a sci-fi world that makes no sense.

Should be seeing it soonish. I am a big fan of the Romanian New Wave, even if Mungiu is not my favorite of the bunch. I enjoyed his previous two films though, Graduation and R.M.N. .

A 90s cult classic I have never played which is a blend of scifi and psychological horror is "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". I had to mention it because it's such a great title! It's co-directed by author Harlan Ellison who wrote the short story it's based on.

Just played through a fan made demake of Metroid Prime called Metroid Prime Origins. It takes the Game Cube game and somehow makes a classic 2D Metroid out of it while managing to maintain by and large the structure and the power ups of the game. It's Windows PC only. I played it on controller...

Saw this one on VHS in the '90s, so it can only be an improvement! From Kobayashi I think I only saw the well known films which are this one, Harakiri, Samurai Rebellion and the Human Condition trilogy (which is a single film split in three for theater release more than a trilogy). Human...

@Tmac A coop multplayer game that seemed very cool to me is Deep Rock Galactic.

I was ready to bet my house that the link with Bad Lieutenant was only because of the way they translated the title. I would have been homeless because the guy who produced the Abel Ferrara film also produced the Herzog film and a few years back he decided to use the Bad Lieutenant IP to produce...

The words you are looking for are "I would like it to be [...]". The only thing it is supposed to be is what its author wants. If Nolan wants to strip the film of the "When you go oldie, go Limey" trope and use mundane modern language instead of poetic elevated language to make the tale more...

Fun anecdotal fact: I was considering checking this film in Imax in a nearby city and the original version (as in: not dubbed) in Imax at 1pm on Tuesday had only seats left on the front row or the edges of the theater...

Saw that at the NIFFF also. Good looking movie with some nice moments, but it did not grab me. It also uses a catalogue of tropes I am not a fan of.
