Alice Wonderlad & Cop Out...I wanna see Shutter Island Next
|
|
|

I thought Cop Out was pretty good. I love Bruce Willis
I saw Brooklyn's Finest last weekend too... It was good but not something I really enjoy. A lot like Crash actually. One of those ones you'll see once or twice, but really good. I found Richard Gere's whole character awkward to see. |

The Jacket - just amazing. Great psychological flick. Hehe. Let me know if you want more. Kewl! ... I'm all in on psychological and thriller/suspense ... No horror ... Shining is my kinda limit there ... ... I love it left up to illusion ... ... Hmmm, delusion? |

... Yes, I'm quite keen to see Alice in Wonderland! Ya do know sayin' that is considered foreplay in 49 states, yeah? ... ... ... Say it again ... |

If you're into psychological stuff you've probably already seen "Jacob's Ladder". If not, I would definitely put that near the top of your list.

Thats the EXACT same comparison I had for Brooklyns Finest, i dont know if it was subconsciously because of Don Cheadles character or not. It seemed like similar style and shot as Crash except with a story centering on crooked cops instead of racists. I just saw 'My family's wedding' and it was a very light hearted cute film. I love the actor who played the groom, he has such an incredibly beautiful smile. |

Zombie fun: Zombieland and Dead Snow
Saw the The Crazies remake, I liked it, but I still prefer the original. Machine Girl- ultra bloody, like a live action comic book. Not Quite Hollywood- great documentary about Ozploitation(Australian exploitation) Black Dynamite- Hilarious spoof of the blaxspoitation genre Jennifer's Body- Megan Fox trying to act Carriers- Starring Chris Pine. Pretty decent The Stand/Survivors type film with a small group of people trying to survive after a virus starts killing people off. Frozen- From Adam Green(Hatchet), it was good but basically it was Open Water on a ski lift |

'Jacob's Ladder' as well, intensely fantastic ... both ... So, yeah, anything else like that, hmmmmmm? |

I just saw The Box and actually really liked it. It was one of those movies where I found myself happier that they didn't try to answer the questions that they brought up. That added a certain creepiness to the overall tone of the movie. Hehe. I might rock my Donnie Darko shirt tomorrow.
Um... "Memento". That is brilliant. It's popular, though, so you may have already seen it. "Existenz". Cronenberg movie... so you can kinda guess what to expect. "Dark City" - Amazing visually and conceptually... and just an all around great movie in my opinion. Questioning whether or not there is anything outside of memories that gives us a soul. "The Waking Life" - You would love that one! It's rotoscoped, so they take live actors and film it and then basically animate over it. Directed by the same guy who did the last film I was going to suggest that is also rotoscoped... "A Scanner Darkly". Keanu Reeves, Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey Jr., and Winona Ryder all kill in this near-future drug paranoia flick. Really cool stuff. |

Yeah, it made me wanna study the Mars Project better ... as if they'll tell us ANYTHING ... NOT! Love and own Memento, Waking Life (Reminds me of Vanilla Sky, both US and Spanish), Scanner Darkly ... Bip ups props! Gotta go watch a clip and remind myself on the Dark City and Existenz call; I'm thinkin' I have not seen either! Woot~Woot ... keep 'em comin' ... |

"The Machinist" was pretty good.
"The Lost Weekend", "Days of Wine and Roses", and "Leaving Las Vegas". But those are probably all in my top five favorite movies of all time and I'm sure I've mentioned or suggested them before. "Vertigo" by Hitchcock on the rare chance you haven't seen it. Oh! "Slipstream" with Sir Anthony Hopkins. You might like that. It's a TOTAL trip, though. It's edited so that everything feels like a dream... it has this very empathic quality to it. Kinda avant-garde, but I dug it. "The Game", but you probably saw that. If not... AMAZING flick. |

Well... in "The Machinist" there's a twist near the end that really disturbs a lot of people, so it may not be your style.
Anything by Darren Aronofsky. Pi Requiem for a Dream The Fountain The Wrestler Everything Scorcese has ever done. Anything with Forest Whitaker in it. The Last King of Scotland Bird Ghost Dog None of those are really psychological movies... I just think Forest is amazing. Um... continuing with a couple good ones that aren't psychological. "Redbelt" - About jiu-jitsu... but the soul of the sport and not the fighting. I enjoyed "Paranormal Activity". But then again, I thought Blair Witch was cool and Cloverfield was pretty sweet. |

I love "Howard the Duck".
Seeing him eat Ash from Evil Dead in the Marvel Zombies comics was amazing. I see my weekend being full of going through all these Korean films I have... and now these French films... and at some point a Japanese flick called Machine Girl someone suggested on here. |
