Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Just watched The Gift. Only knew it as a movie with Katie Holmes' tits. Didn't know it was Sam Raimi. Wasn't great but was suprisingly good, if a bit cliche take on the whole southern gothic genre.
I watched both OSS 117 movies over the past two days, I thought that Cairo A nest of Thieves was much better than Lost in Rio (I think I got those names right). But both were good silly fun.
I'll second The Grey. Saw that and Buried last night on Netflix. The Grey was excellent. Skip Buried....fuck that movie.

checking this out atm. But needed to stop and comment.
Was watching a few ther Indian/Hindi movies a while back.
Its so bizarre. They just break out into English randomly. I mean, one or two words I might expect. Names or slang that has no translation working its way into a language. But this is entire sentences. And not idioms or the like either. Half a conversation will be in English, and half not.
Not related. and it really doesn entirely fit as "being better then expected" as its pretty well known for being amazing.
Primer is on instant currently.

can't tell if trolling.. It was a "big budget" and mainstream movie... But that said I did very much enjoy this movie.. And its not like this thread is only for 'b list' movies as netflix has many mainstream bigger movies...
but lol anyway yes good movie.
Just watched "My Way", much better than expected and a really good movie, especially if you like war movies. It has four really good and very graphic battle scenes: two in Mongolia, one on the European eastern front and one at Normandy. Gives glimpses of life in the Japanese, Soviet, and Nazi armies. It's all in Korean, Japanese, Russian, and German though, so be prepared for subtitles. Lots of places have been saying its based on a true story, but that's a huge overstatement. In reality, the writer completely made up his own story based on seeing this:

I saw this movie just the other night. I can second the part about not being original. By the end of the movie I had dubbed it "Koreon the Professional" but it was entertaining enough for me to finish it.
As for movies to check out....
Police Story
and Police Story 2
I always liked those two. Some just absolutely brutal stunts in there.
I just noticed that the Red Riding trilogy (Red Riding 1974, 1980, 1983) are available on Netflix instant. The first one has Andrew Garfield and Sean Bean in it. They are very dark, but well-acted and compelling movies.

Caught oss 117L cairo today.
very good indeed.
Very much Pink Pather type parodies. Not the silly slapstick of most modern parodies post Airplane, Policesquad.
the tall man with jessica biel is a great watch. a thriller that had me guessing all the way through

The movie was (is?) billed as having something to do with the supernatural. It does not. Other than that, it was an alright film. I did not manage to guess what the ending was until it was on me.
I watched Drive tonight with Ryan Gosling. Not at all what I was expecting. Thought it would be some cheesy racing movie, but it was actually pretty dark andextremelyviolent at parts.
I recommend watching it. Kept me pretty entertained.

Yeah, I finally got around to watching Drive a couple weeks ago and loved every minute of it. It is the slowest burn of a revenge flick ever, but the atmosphere is mesmerizing. Everything is so detached, which gives the sudden violence this really jarring and uncomfortable effect. It's probably not for everyone, but those who like it will REALLY like it.

well thats not really true...
Its filmed like a movie from the 60's-70's. A death wish, Get carter, etc. Yeah, they don't make movies like that anymore. Dredd was like that too. its a 70's movie.
