Looks a bit dull in the trailer, apart from a couple that makes out a lot. But the synopsis makes it sound pretty good:
"A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the life cycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives." Cool.
Actually, sounds a bit like the last movie I watched - Mr Nobody. That was a really good movie!

Actually, I think the first movie since 2008, apart from Inception, to make it into my top 100. I must be watching too much crap lately.

Cabin in the Woods, Sinister, and Mama were all very good. Nice to see some good horror movies come along after all the torture porn.

 Dredd

Main characters were good (suitable Dredd style), city block and cityscape were good. That's all. They could have filled the rest with more exploration of the psychotic baddie, the degeneracy of the city, and the contrast between Dredd's robotic sterness and the freaks he has to deal with, but no, instead it was endless displays of boring death/shooting scenes made worse by pointless slow-motion and cheesy rock soundtrack - the classic MTV-style way to fuck up a potentially decent film.

wait, didn't you insult me in creative ways when I watched and live-commented it in #tf? I took it too serious to enjoy how trashy it was. might be more fun for fans of the comics I guess.

Meh Shamb you asking for too much. The slow mo was lovely. And its Dredd ffs, theres nearly too little action as it is lol :D
 Jesus.

I was asking for a dark-ish, gritty, tongue-in-cheek, semi-brutal action flick. Instead I got a pop video.
The slow-mo was utter cheesy drivel, designed solely for angsty teenagers.

You must be kidding Shamb.
Grumpy old git :P
I dont see how it was cheesy or drivel. Tell me the slow-mo massacre was drivel, it was a beautiful celebration of gore and OTT violence, that is all and it cannot be denied.
Its not cos a bunch of idiots abused slow mo and made shite out of it that no one can use it right.

please review Springbreakers.
 Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
#5028 posted by Spirit on 2013/03/24 01:13:23
I should have watched that instead of Mad Max which I found to be a generic b-movie with annoying music and a cheap plot. Delighted to see nitin feel similar, http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=3545&start=2462&end=2462
I was quite sad at the lack of dubstep in the Springbreakers trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVvn9T6bqls but then it finally came and it is Skrillex. I think? Shambler surely knows. Looks like a great movie.
 Spirit

Mad Max 2 on the other hand is really good IMHO.
#5030 posted by Spirit on 2013/03/25 23:07:43
Can't say I agree. I should have excepted it to be a trashy sci-fi "b-movie" like eg Waterworld, then I would liked it better. Ain't got no muscly half-nude leather costume man fetish either. I thought it would be a proper serious movie. :(
The intro was so promising, sounded like some really great scheme of events that changed the world.
Nothing I'd watch again. Some great scenes, some great setups, but overall just so silly and dumb. Actually I think I preferred the serious story of the first one.
At least now I know where all the silly things in Rage (the game) came from. Makes me wish they'd never seen this movie so it wouldn't have been ruined by their feeble attempts of integrating bits into their game. Like that idiotic "everyone, play time is over, clear the wasteland for some racing, afterwards you can go back at playing mutants and bandits again".
