The Redcafe Movie review thread

Eto'odinho · 23rd July 2007, 16:22

Watched He-Man and the Masters of the Universe last night. I have to say the women were a lot hotter in the cartoon. All in all a decent family film that has been wrongly dismissed as terrible all these years.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 16:40

Gozu. Surreal. . . but enjoyable. Not as good as Miike's other films I've seen(Ichi and Audition). Last 50mins were the best of the film. . .that said, I'm still trying to get my head around it all.

Bizarre.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 16:48

Come to think of it, I think I'll watch it again.

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 19:54

Watched Dolls yet, spoony? I got it in Saturday but haven't had a chance to watch it.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 20:32

Not yet, Ole. It's definitely on my to watch list, though.

Bought or rented it, by the way? I bet you've got a 1000 DVD collection.

Hehe, it is rather mental.

Watched Visitor Q yet?

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 20:53

I rented it.

It was on its way to that, but I had to buy furniture, a car, and a bunch of other stuff so it's at about 400 right now. What's yours?

No, not yet. And yeah it was a bit mental. . . but I really enjoyed it. I'll have to definitely watch it again. . .but I think I've got an idea what it was about. Was Visitor Q more mental?

300ish. I bought some furniture a few months ago. . . I'm proper gay when it comes to stuff like that. :gay:

Ichi? nah, I doubt it. I've only seen four of his movies. . . so I'm guessing it's from one I haven;t seen.

You don't rate him much, do you Ole?

I think he has potential. Some parts in the Dead or Alive series are done quite well. Don't care much for his renegade/way too over the top style though.

I think Audition and Ichi are masterpieces.

I do like Audition. Didn't care for Ichi.

What other japanese movies you like?

Fair enough. I guess, it's personal taste.

Hana Bi.
Nobody Knows(based on a true story).
Battle Royale.
Kagemusha
Zatoichi

Off the top of my head.

Don't care much for J horror. . . Audition was really a one off for me.

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 21:13

Battle Royale was ace. Battle Royale 2 was utter cock.

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 21:23

Just watched A Fistful of Dollars. Absolutely love this movie.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 21:31

Yeah, it's top.

Oh and I love Spirited Away, too.

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 21:49

Spirited Away was a brilliant movie. I prefer Princess Mononoke though.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 21:50

I actually preferred Spirited Away. Received Ghost in the Shell 1 and 2, today. No 2 seems like a Blade Runner anime.

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 21:58

Watched about 10 minutes of a movie called Ultraviolet with Milla Jovovovovich in it. It was absolute shit.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 22:03

For a bloke who's seen just about every decent film made. . . you're not half watching some tripe lately.

I've seen everything I own multiple times and haven't had the chance to go rent/buy any, so I'm subject to what's on TV, which is a lot of crappy movies.

Spoonatov · 23rd July 2007, 22:10

Good point. I actually thought you were renting these!

olesmyhero · 23rd July 2007, 22:11

Oh god no.The only crap(for the most part) at my house is the movies the missus makes me put on the queue.

More mental in a comedic disturbing kind of way.

UltraViolet is unbelievabley shit, as in, the worst films ever made kind of shit.

Steev · 23rd July 2007, 23:40

Visitor Q.....F*** Me!!

I've never seen so many taboos depicted in one film.

It rendered me speechless. Bloody Hell!

Spammy · 23rd July 2007, 23:59

Hehe.

mehro · 24th July 2007, 00:03

Just read the plotline of Visitor Q on wiki. i think I'll stay away. Some seriously fucked up shit.

Rooney1987 · 24th July 2007, 01:08

Does anyone know when the next movie by the people who made Spirited Away is or if coming out the last one they did was Howls moving castle that was in 05 I think.

My brother gave me Grave of the Fireflies film I thought it was brilliant.

cinc · 24th July 2007, 06:13

Next year, mate.

Shotgun raisin · 24th July 2007, 06:19

Laputa is my favourite Ghibli film. Spirited Away's storyline just seemed like a meandering mess of one deus ex machina after another. Beautiful to watch though.

Mononoke was brilliant.

I watched Summer Time Machine Blues the other day. Fun, if slightly amteurish and lightweight.
