Just checked that on IMDB, this came up too.

"In the future, a warrior nun on roller skates must rescue a seer, who is to be sacrificed by a band of mutants".

How good does that sound?

 

I rewatched PoD recently myself. Not his greatest, I suppose. But definitely creepy. And Carpenter through and through. I really like it.

The Thing, though, is his magnum opus surely. We watched it and then turned straight around and watched it with the director commentary on. Fascinating. Not a bad read, the original short story (Who Goes There?) either.

 

There was a good short story, told from the point of view of the thing, if it comes to that.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Steve Carrell and Kiera Knightly play a pair of neighbours who get to know each other on a road trip during the final weeks of the apocalypse - a 70 mile wide meteor is headed for Earth and efforts to stop it have failed. A funny and touching comedy that is worth a watch. 7/10.

 

Watched Interstellar at the cinema. The physicist in me kept picking holes and the music was too loud in parts, but it was epic. Definitely worth seeing. And despite what I said just before, it does a much better job of addressing the physics than most sci-fis.

At home I recently watched a Hong Kong MA movie called Dragon from Russia. The plot was convoluted and nonsensical and the characters were 2D. But there was lots of action of the quality you expect from Hong Kong. Definitely worth the $7 I paid for it.

 

That was actually pretty awesome!

Trouble 'N Strife and myself ordered up "The Grand Budapest Hotel" on the hotel's PPV. It was really quite good with a dry, witty sense of humour one does not find too often in films anymore.

The film chronicles the misadventures of a 1930's era concierge and his trusted Lobby Boy who play the giggalo to the old Hotel's rich grande dames who frequent the establishment. The dutiful concierge finds himself in a sticky wicket and his Lobby Boy and the boy's fiance come to his rescue.

Its stylish and deceptively deep, if one wants to take it to that level. If not in the mood for its more darker insenuations, no harm leaving it as a good romp.

 

Grand Budapest Hotel is one of Wes Anderson's most brilliant films. Good fun!

 

Planning to watch Grand Budapest Hotel tonight! I've heard it's good.

 

Grand Budapest Hotel.

What a fantastic film that was!....and incredibly sad too. Beautifully done. Edward Norton really stole the show for me, I don't know why, but I thought he was brilliantly dry in it and really cracked me up.

I've rented it for 48 hours, so have to watch it again tomorrow.

 

Yes I really enjoyed The Grand Budapest Hotel. Despite being macabre and having a film noir style; it reminded me of a good kids show, with it's caricature characters and quick pacing. I'd say it was like a tasty cocktail of a film. I think I'll watch it again with my parents, they liked Hugo.

 

Ja, it was a nice little find - such gems are usually out of the blue and unexpected, like.

Though I don't think I'd be able to watch it with parents - mum, anyroad. The idea of being in the same room with yer mum while Gustave gets gobbled by one of the dames, even as brief as the scene was, would just.... shudder, shudder, shudder

 

i have a friend who, without knowing anything about he film, took his dicaprio-fan mother to see the wolf of wall street. many lulz were had at his expense

 

I've'nt seen the film, but I can just imagine from your post, lol.
