Good man!

I've watched it twice!

[doppelgänger of someone]

Lake Mungo

Mockumentary horror from Australia. Surprisingly good.

[Cyberbob]

So.. Hobbit?

Or are the people that chose to see it, still watching it.

[sidbo]

WRT The Hobbit I've read a few opinions on it, mostly positive, but I think it's one of those movies that you just have to go see and make up your own mind.

[Pepsi]

Watched the HFR version, but I'm not really a visual nerd so I don't know how it really differs tbh (or if I'd really notice).. Wouldn't mind watching again in regular 3D to see just how different it looks. I had read bad reviews about the movie itself, but I enjoyed it and didn't feel at all like it was as long as it was.

Cons: I only really felt like it dragged a little at the beginning when they were still at Bilbo's house

Pros: The whole goblin bit

Filmmaker Vincent Laforet comments on 3D HFR vs 3D vs 2D

I watched the Hobbit part 1, 3D

Acting was great, a little weird at first with the main actor being from the Office US. Also learned that the dwarf with the bow is the great grandson of J R Tolkein.

Digital animation was spectacular (I watched the 3D) especially in the scene with the trolls really amazing details throughout.

The Hobbit was written as a children's book unlike the next 3 he wrote, and it really does show with a lack of a sense of danger even in apparent peril. So if you liked the looming dark from the other 3, you might be a little disappointed.

Overall it's a good watch and you won't be disappointed afterwards.
I've not seen the 2D but the 3D work was some of the best I've seen yet and worth the extra.

The briefcase is Rock and Roll. Marcellus represents the origin of rock music in America (blues, motown, soul, etc) Jules is Chuck Berry and Vincent is Elvis. They go to get the briefcase back from the nerdy white guys trying to steal it. Maybe they represent greedy record producers that profited off of Black music and screwed over many Black musicians.
The reason the guy that unloads a gun at them is unable to hit them is because legends of music can never die and will be around forever. Jules realizes this and realizes that he is fighting a pointless fight. Pumpkin and Honey Bunny happen to be British and they also try to take the briefcase. They represent the British Invasion. The British Invasion was completely influenced by the blues and older pop music. Jules lets them leave with the money, but keeps his "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet. (They can steal and be influenced by the older music, but they can't take a legends style. They have to come up with their own style.) Jules even mentions that he is trying real hard to be the shepherd.
Butch is introduced as a boxer being told by Marcellus to throw a fight. Butch represents new and interesting rock music that continues to come out and Marcellus doesn't like this. Butch doesn't throw the fight and runs away. They both get captured by rednecks while a country song is playing. The rapists represent country music. Country music also stole a lot from the blues and other Black music. This is shown by them raping Marcellus. Butch has a chance to escape but decides to go back and save him out of respect. Marcellus agrees to let Butch live and they truce and go separate ways. Marcellus accepts that there will always be new music and there's nothing he can do to stop it. The watch represents that as time moves on, more new music will continue to be made and they will all be influenced by what came before them.
EDIT: I probably should have originally put this here instead of a comment. I originally posted this on r/truefilm under my old username. I made a comment below and replied to it with my old username in less than a minute.

So worth seeing? Those "through the ages" kinda movies (i.e. Fountain), are normally a bit of a mind trip, but I love em

[Kryten]

Bones Brigade - An Autobiography. Recommended it you skateboarded in the 80s and ever watched the Bones videos or had any degree of affinity for the main guys (Hawk, Mountain, McGill, Caballero, Mullen and Guerrero). That guys like Cab are now close to 50 is making me feel my age.

Wazza - keep those movies coming - another good watch. Although you really need to pay attention to everything.

I saw it the other day, I'm still not sure if I really loved it or if it was complete indulgent baloney...I do rate it much more than The Fountain in the time spanning epic interwoven story genre..

Hanks was great, as was Jim Sturgess, loved him as the agent in the "Blade Runner" future..

Cloud Atlas 2012 BRRip Line Audio XViD-RemixHD

[wazza]

Yup, there's lots of good quality rips out.
At the time I watched it, I grabbed the best qual vs size vs comments. Unsure when that was released, it doesn't feature on the site I use. I grabbed my copy a week or so ago, didn't watch it right away.

[Fx.]

movie was odd, good tho

[Trigger]

Enjoyed Cloud Atlas, thought it was quite well done and entertaining.

Also End of Watch was very good and badass.

[Savage]

Another for End of Watch

[oOo Dragon oOo]

Nothing to do at work. Watched Premium Rush - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1547234/

Pretty entertaining. Better than work anyway

Very surprised this has dropped so soon. I've seen it twice at the cinema. I won't grab this as I'm all about the Blu-rays, cuz.

Sequel to Knocked Up

Recommend if you're looking to have a lot of fucken LOLs
Really good comedy tbh.

Didn't realise that was Megan Fox for a minute, she appears to be a bit more mature.

[]- Volatile -[]

Wife has been nagging to DL that for a while, but Knocked Up was rubbish imo :|

hoped this was better - there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah :P after posting that I realised a wee while later. Makes sense, every year around this time they start pouring out!

[leadinjector]

just finished the 4th twilight movie, watching the last one tomorrow. these are possibly some of the worst movies ive ever seen. warrick, you are a bad person for liking this fluff

[wazza]

am i more of a bad person for the fact i've seen each of them half a dozen times?(except the latest one)

Django Unchained is out, whoop

[aR Que]

I'd use a different adjective, but you know, whatevs.

[fixed_truth]

'This is 40' is a bit long and not as funny as knocked up but has heaps of funny scenes.

[Nich]

saw gasper noe's enter the void last night. i recommend. he is a master of long takes. the best way i can describe it is afterlife fly-on-the-wall past present and future.

[xor]

Saw the Hobbit today. Meh?

[Jamiepo]

Saw Life of Pi last night, I read the book a few years ago and it was alright but the movie never really seemed to take off. Knowing how it ends probably didn't help, my wife enjoyed it as she hadn't read the book. She thought it was pretty hard going for the last half but the ending kind of made it worth while. The film stayed fairly true to the book and the 3d was pretty good although if you have read the book the I wouldn't be rushing out and seeing it.
