Managed to watch Conspiracy Theory last night, starring Mel Gibson.

I think it might feel a bit too realistic for some of the members on this message board... Cheesy

Haven't seen it in years but I remember liking it. There was a few films Gibson had out around that time that I quite liked: Ransom & Payback, especially the latter.

Yeah, before his Jew ranting days.

I miss the movies from the nineties...

Haha, indeed... It feels like some members here are a little too much like Gibson's character.

The strangers was pretty scary. Been out for awhile.

If you guys can get ahold of the documentary "bloodlines" you should check it out. It was pretty much banned everywhere, but super interesting

I've seen Strangers, i'll look into bloodlines, thanks

Yeah, End of Watch was pretty solid. The writer of Training Day is good with police-related narratives though his upcoming film with Arnold looks alright at best.

If you liked Training Day I thought Brooklyn's Finest was pretty similar in style and a solid movie, also has Ethan Hawk

Bloodlines is like a documentary on the bloodline that supposedly trails all the way back to Jesus Christ himself, and believe it or not there are a group of people who claim to have the actual body (entombed). It sounds really far fetched, but when you see the people that are interviewed, and the fact that a few of the people who talk end up mysteriously dead, it makes for a super interesting documentary. It is also weird that it has been banned like everywhere...

Has it actually been banned though? Most films or documentaries that claim to be banned just use it or say so for publicity. And Bloodline was based on a lot of different hoaxes.

Wikipedia is usually good at listing banned films and I don't see it anywhere in there. So who knows... Still sounds like an interesting way to kill two hours, though.

I don't see why a film about the alleged bloodline of Christ would be banned. And if it was, then why not The Da Vinci Code too? There's quite a few other documentaries on this subject also.

if 300 is good spartacus series is 300x better

There are so many nude sex scenes in Spartacus so I prefer not watching it.

Shutter Island
The good, the bad and the ugly I love them both.

I loved Shutter Island but the ending is not vivid . Teddy Daniels[Leonardo DiCaprio] is mentally unstableat then at the end he comes back to his senses but still he opts to live in shutter island. at the ending of shutter island when he says "rather die as a hero or live as a monster" what i understood is he actually remembers everything still but pretends not to or he actually forgot it all??

Yeah I agree with you.He remembers all in the end but don't want to live no more with this.

I'm pretty sure Brooklyn's Finest was also written by a cop (and first-time screenwriter). Looks like cops have some life stories that translate well to the screen...

Michael Mann was a cop too before turning to directing.

I actually bet on the Oscars through my friend's sportsbook lol. It's pretty funny, but you can get some crazy odds on some longshots that sometimes hit.

12 years a slave is far and away the heavy favorite for this year's best picture. I saw it. It was good, but I didn't think it was great.

I agree it's not the year's best, but it's between that and Gravity. The winner the Producer's Guild Award for Best Picture usually wins the Oscar. This year was a tie between 12 Years a Slave and Gravity...

Gravity for cinematography or special effects, but I don't think there is any chance in the world that it wins best picture. You have to remember that the winner of the Oscar's usually has some politics also behind it... i.e. Halle Barry winning best actress a few years back, and Argo winning best picture (while Affleck was not even nominated for best director).

On another note...here is another good one "End of Watch" Not brand new, but if you guys haven't seen it, rent it or buy it...it is well worth it!

Gravity is great. Haven't seen 12 Years yet, but I'm not sure I'll be blown away by it anyway.

It deals with racism but as a film, it's very safe and almost feels like Oscar bait. I've liked Steve McQueen's other films (Hunger, Shame) much more than this one.

This is true. I'd bet on one or the other... I'd say there's a 90% chance it'll be one of those two.

Too bad it won't be Her or Wolf of Wall Street... Sad

wolf of wall street
lone survivor
american hustle

Those are the best movies that have been out this year in my opinion...

I really need to see Wolf Of Wall Street. All I ever hear is good things about it!

It's so good. People either love it or hate it, but I loved it. That one guy from Superbad (I foget his name), took 60k as his pay just to be in the movie because scorsese was directing

Wasn't aware of that, but I was surprised he was even cast in this. Does he actually play a character other than Jonah Hill in it though? Grin

I like him as a comedic actor, but I'm sceptical of his talents as a serious dramatic actor, but I love to be proved wrong.

Both this and Moneyball show that he's got a certain amount of talent. I personally think he looks like a huge asshole in real life, but he can be half decent in movies. I'm tired of his comedies, though.

Haven't seen Moneyball. Didn't even know he was in it. I haven't see anything from him that made him seems like an asshole in real life, but his characters usually are Cheesy

.

I just say that through interviews and whatnot. He was actually nominated for his first Oscar with Moneyball, not that it should be the best barometer of success, but still..

He was nominated for an oscar? Shocked

But yeah, Oscars don't mean shit until Gary Oldman wins one Grin

.

This year is actually his second nomination. I know, pretty crazy... I haven't watched the Oscars in years, though.
