There sure are a lot of apocalyptic movies lately, thanks Mayan wrongfully interpreted calendar!I'd say only Take Shelter and Melancholia are worth watching because of offering new perspectives on the whole sub-genre by focusing on psychology of the characters than the actual situation that has been done to death in Mad Max and zombie movies.

Finally someone realises Wall-E and Up past their initial first powerful acts stumbled a lot.Having a pointless villain in the 3rd act? It's now a tradition of Pixar movies.I have a feeling Pixar is still in growing pains about making movies for children and adults. Up's first moments are heart-breaking and honest while the rest of the movie wants to move as far away from that. I feel like Pixar ...

Maybe they just don't like his female protagonists actually going through a journey of struggle with ups and (many) downs. It's funny how Antichrist is criticised for misogyny when it's more examining it and the destructive power all those generations have caused in the main character's psyche. His next movie should be more like a romcom with standard stories where a girl just wants to get a guy, find the ...

And so begins the track down his films having some of the most interesting female protagonists in movies. I loved the foggy look of this movie, fits in with that ancient far-flung setting and moral quandaries.

Yes, it's great for female action heroes, but this female puberty dark comedy horror movie is going to be more challenging. Very few movies cover this, and in such a unique fashion.

Cosmopolis.
A return to crazy Cronenberg but with a neo-noir bent: "And a rat became the unit of currency."I loved it, but it won't be for everyone. This is most definitely a midnight movie. It's a challenging and dense movie, not much of a plot, with the focus on lots of talking and long shots. A neo-noir in looks and feel about corporations, capitalism, the future, rats as currency, and a highly philosophical, self-destructive corporate analyst of some clandestine organisation simply ...

@litrock said:@AssInAss: I don't understand the idea that this needs to be scary or work as a horror film. It is ABOUT horror movies, but it doesn't even really attempt to be one. The moments that play on the tropes of the genre, which normally are meant to be scary, are constructed to be subverted. I mean, they put a jump stinger in the title.I dunno, some movies aren't for ...

Ok, I just came back from watching it. Was pretty disappointed to say the least.The main way how the film fails is because of the shocking lack of character development. I cared for none of the characters. I don't think that was the intention or then we wouldn't have sweeping music for certain perilous moments. When you know what's going to happen to the cabin characters, it's hard to take ...

The Art and Design of Sci-fi - Screenpups I need your assistance

The Matrix DVD had great looks at the set design for the Nebuchadnezzar ship and the jack-in chairs. Geoff Darrow, famous comic book artist, was behind it.

@litrock said:@AssInAss: Ugh, they're doing more regular reviews now? That shtick was already getting old, that video is nearly unwatchable. But no, I disagree with that conclusion. I don't think there's anything particularly confusing or inconsistent about Cabin. Why haven't you gone see it yet so you can just read my review!Because I'm right now studying in Czech Republic, and can't go back to UK until end of June!I'll probably ...

@litrock said:@AssInAss: It's been sitting in my netflix queue forever but I haven't seen it. Maybe I will sometime this week.GET ON IT! :PHalf in the Bag (RedLetterMedia) did a review of the movie, do you disagree with their view? That it's got plenty of great ideas, but overall doesn't make a lick of sense?

What did you think of Tucker and Dale vs Evil? Sadly, can't comment on the review since I haven't seen it! XD

"Watch It At Home"What does that even mean?! Is this out on Video On Demand? Not showing up on Amazon or iTunes...Or does it mean it's an equivalent rating of rent the movie?

@nofx4208 said:I'm glad we're seeing an end to at least THIS journey for Kenny Powers. I can't wait to see his finish line, because I know the writers will bring him to an appropriate conclusion, especially for the character's journey sake. Jody Hill and Danny McBride should be proud for what they did, which is make one of the most insane and brilliant comedic character studies to grace TV. I ...

If you're in US, you can watch it on demand right now. iTunes, Xbox, PS3, Amazon, etc.Easily best film of 2012 so far. All of our darkest thoughts about the state of our society and our wishes put on screen for catharsis.Bobcat delivers once again! Great performances, well-rounded characterisation, satire, commentary, and pitch-black comedy. Network, Falling Down, and now God Bless America for this generation. Way darker than World's Greatest ...

Korine back with actual actors? I'm in. Korine's bit seems almost a comedy...his first?

It's a fine logo, although I'm thinking more hood ornament.If they can reign in Zack Snyder's lunacy (maybe that's Chris Nolan's job?), and just have him focus on visuals, it can turn out good.

It had that guy from Reaper...and that's all I have to say about this unremarkable, creatively bankrupt film.

I don't actually use Origin and don't really intend to if I don't have to, but man. Even the verification email process is broken. What.
