Pelle Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think I like Tarantino's last films more than say Pulp fiction. Never got the greatness of that one. I knew I wasnt the only one. Its good but its not a great film for me. always preferred Reservoir DOgs myself Exactly what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Face/Off was the best of the OTT 90s action flicks. I prefer The rock, myself, but what do you count Heat as? Action or thriller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 wouldnt count Heat as OTT though except Pacino performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Saw the rock on tv a few nights ago, and it ruined my childhood love of the film. The stark reality of nicholas cage's "acting" was so depressing / hilariously awful. It's the eyes. They're proper manic. Con Air has also bizarrely been on a few times it seems. Daft fun though, a background film to put on when channel surfing. Watched The Master last night. Thought it was ok - liked certain parts of it, others seemed a bit self indulgent and I just don't really like Joaquin Phoenix which didn't help. Seymour-Hoffman was splendid though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) The Rock and Face Off were both epic movies Broken Arrow was another of my faves WOULD YOU MIND NOT SHOOTING AT THE THERMONUCLEAR WEAPONS John Woo and John Travolta awesome combo Edited July 30, 2013 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 wouldnt count Heat as OTT though except Pacino performance Too much mind-numbingly boring dialogue in it to qualify as OTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2013 What are the intelligencia in this thread saying about 'Only God Forgives'? People who I don't trust have said it's rubbish where someone I do trust has said "It's actually a very good film, not suited to people with reduced brain capacity. If you like to think about a film afterwards and figure it out (a la anything Lynch has done) you'll love it. Even if you don't like/know what's happening, you'll at least appreciate the visuals."

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Saw Dredd last night, thought it was really good! Enjoyable film. Also saw Hotel Transylvania which was quite funny. Entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've nothing to say regarding Only God Forgives but when did anyone ever "work out" anything David Lynch has ever done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Most of Lynch's films can be worked out.* I haven't seen (the whole of) Inland Empire, though, and I've heard it's a bit of a mind boggler. *Although there is a shot at the end of Mulholland Drive that still bugs me but not everything has a meaning.

villa4europe Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 ive got the feeling im going to find OGF frustrating as **** cos gosling doesnt say anything, KST to give a great performance, Pansringarm to be even better and the city to look stunning but for the whole thing to feel a bit pointlessly violent problem ive got is that the gf has absolutely no intention of watching it, she didnt like drive and refused to watch a place beyond the pines too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 31, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2013 I sitll find myself immensely looking forward to OGF, despite the negative (ish) reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted July 31, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2013 I thought OGF was great. It IS an arthouse movie and it has a very limited narrative but it kept me entertained and it's superbly directed. It's also one that nags at the back of your mind after you've seen it, which is usually a good thing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I am about to commit a sin here but I find Ryan Goslings Films (especially the last couple) mind numbingly slow to the point where I lose interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 True Lies is a movie knowing what it's doing. Making scenes so over the top you can't take it seriously and it's very funny. Armageddon and Con Air are movies that try to be serious, as in you believe that is what is happening. With no knowingly joking at itself. That's why they're turds.

Zatman Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 rubbish. Armageddon and Con Air are 2 of the most unrealistic films out there and they know it. they didnt make them for the Oscar commitee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
