Watched "12 Years a Slave" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" last week. Kinda liked them both. Leonardo is good in Wolf but I think it is only fair that he didn't get the Oscar. I expected better from him, he was much better in "The Aviator". Will have to watch "Dallas Buyer's Club" to see the Oscar-winning performance now

Leo's performance was enjoyable, but not an award winning one at all. I think Jonah's was better.

I have seen all of the above movies... 12 years a slave is the only one that I didn't think lived up to the hype. I don't wanna seem out of line, but basically any well made movie that deals with race issues is going to be "critically acclaimed." Then add Brad Pitt as an executive producer, and your film is in a win win situation. Imagine if Quinton Terrantino made a film about something like the Holocaust. Not to be insensitive, but it would be up for picture of year...for sure...

I doubt if Tarrantino made a film about the holocaust it would be critically acclaimed in the way 12 Years was. He did make Django Unchained remember.

I've seen the film Buried a couple of times now and think that it's a great concept for a movie.

About 18 months ago I saw another film that was quite similar to buried in that the main character was trapped inside a box, but instead of being buried he was in the back of a vehicle. I don't want to say anymore on the plot as that would likely spoil it (once we know the film), but I was wondering if anybody knows the name of the film I'm describing?

I always recommend it to friends but always forget what the name of the damn movie is haha.

Any ideas?

Brake with Stephen Dorff? I quite like films where they're trapped in one location, but they vary rarely hold up on repeat viewings.

Brake that's the one, yeah. True, I only watched Buried again because I wanted to show some friends. Was quite good as I picked up on a couple of things that I didn't notice in the first viewing, plus I got their perspective on what they thought of the concept.

What did you not notice on the first viewing? That he was trapped in a box? haha. There's a new film out called Freezer and the dude gets locked in - you guessed it - a Freezer haha.

Haha yeah, I thought that was was trapped in a case, not a box...

Rob Schneider is trapped in a freezer, only this time he's about to find out that being trapped like a fool ain't so cool. Rob Schneider stars in; Freezer! Rated PG-13.

Just downloaded Open Grave. It's got the fockin prawns guy from Distinct 9 in. Looks interesting: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2071550/

I watched Volume #1 with my gf, and we started Volume #2, but haven't finished it. It is ok, but it is really slow...the main character kind of bugs me...in present day. When it flashes back, she is ok, and sometimes amusing, but something about the present day version of her bothers me...

Volume 1 is pretty good. Volume 2 is dark and depressing as fuck. And the ending makes no sense...

I thought volume 1 was pretty depressing as well...lol. Lot of scenes that just made me cringe...like that part when the wife shows up with her kids to the chicks house when her husband is there...

Just saw The Lego Movie as imdb give it 8, 97% on rotten, and ended up falling asleep a few times. Yea, CG idea to use lego is definitely fresh, but the plot is meh, only kids would enjoy it.

No wonder, as it has been made specifically for children and not for adults. But I heard it's one of the best cartoon movies our there today so I guess I'm going to watch it with my cousin.

Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac Vol.1 is like porno-drama movie, which starts with creepy rammstein SONG.
That's all

I watched vol.1 and vol.2 and must say that the film itself was kinda interesting but still some actors didn't live up to my expectations. To be honest
I always enjoy watching Shia Labeufs films, but this one was a bit too "nude" for me. To conclude, I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys hot scenes
and an interesting story as well.

You enjoy Shia's films? haha. Isn't his English accent meant to be terrible in this?

I watched the hobbit unexpected journey and desolation of smaug and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't compare it to anything, didn't judge it by the book or the cinematography which I thought was delightful, and didn't analyze anything. I just watched it and allowed myself to get completely immersed in the movie. I really love it!

agreed. can't really fully understand people who are analysing movies like this. especially something like 'it looks so unreal'... it's a god damn fairy tail it's not suppose to be logic or real
