If you wan't to see a really weird movie, watch this:
Oldboy, a Korean movie.
After watching this, I was really disturbed.
Cid - April 2, 2005 09:30 PM (GMT)
LOL, I saw the movie "Oldboy" also. I dont wanna spoil the movie to others, but what the main chracter does or realize he has done is really really sickening. It diturbed me also.
Judging it all, it was a good movie.
One thing to note Ghost, look at the fighting scene in the prison building after Oh-Daesu pulls out the teeth of the guard. The fight aginst the gang is taken in ONE shot. No cuttings in the fighting. The director has done that very well :applause:

I'll look for it... If you guys like wierd movies, just get anything by David Lynch, the master wierd movie director. Some of his work: Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, others.
There are also some very strange Jap stuff that I don't remember the names right now...

Those who like action movies and dont mind Japanese ones, I really recommend the movies of the director Akira Kurosawa (one of the best directors ever, inspired others like Stanley Kubric, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino)
And also the Japanses director: Takeshi Kitano (also known as Beat Takeshi)
Good movies of them are:
Kurosawa: Seven Samurai (later remade as The magnificient Seven), Yojimbo (later remade as Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis) and Ran
Kitano: Violent Cop, Sonatine, Hana-Bi, Kukijiro-No-Natsu
If you like very weird Japanese movies I recommend: Ichi the Killer and Battle Royal

Ghost if you coudnt watch Ichi, I wont recommend you Bttle Royal. This movie is even more weird and sick in the most extreme sense.
Its about a highschool class who go to an unhabited island. They participate there in a television show. The goal is to survive. And in order to do that they have to butcher each other. The last teenager surviving is the winner. This movie is really really sick. Some teenagers use everything to kill another even their sex appeal. Other teenagers refuse to kill and form a group on go sheltering. However when sheltering they get paranoid the others in the group will betray their deal. So in the end they also butcher each other.
Note that I use the word 'butcher' because they really kill each other in horrible ways.
Battle royal -> :puke3:

I saw "Oldboy" in a Film Festival last October. I was there with two friends. After the movie we went to a cafe and sat silent. It took us a while to get back to our normalselves. It was a very different and blowing movie.
To night I am going to another Korean movie named Silmi Island.

Though being an anime, I strongly recommend "Spirited Away" (watched 3 or 4 times). Another favorites are "Spy Game" and "Talvisota", the latter was a Finnish film about Russo - Fin War, a very striking and realistic movie.

Battle Royal sucks and sucks and sucks... My acting and directing abilities are better... :naughty: :naughty:

Hehe, I woudnt doub it bro. Indeed the acting sucked and the story sucked even more. But that doesnt change it is a weird movie.

Lately I have watched 3 movies of Takashi Miike (known for making very gore movies like Ichi the Killer)
Audition
is a thriller movie about a single guy who arranges an 'audition' for girls for a play but actually to find himself a girlfriend. An excellent thriller, I recommend you to see. But beware final scenes may make you vommiting.

Deadly Outlaw Rekka
is a yakuza movie. The music of this movie is great. The story is also pretty good with lots of intrigues. But the ending of the movie is very silly. If you are into yakuza movies you will like it.

Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha
is a yakuza/detective movie. Great story about a chinese immigrant in Japan (Ryuuichi) getting into war with the Yakuza and the Chinese Triads. A Japanese detective (Jojima) investigating this while searching money for the costs of the heart operation of his daughter. And how eventually these 2 protagonists get into war with eachother. The ending though seems a bit weird, but I think there is a metaphorical explanation to it.
But beware like the tagline warns: "This motion picture contains explicit portrayals of violence; sex; violent sex; sexual violence; clowns and violent scenes of violent excess, which are definitely not suitable for all audiences."
By the way this movie has one of the best opening sequences I have ever seen.
I really recommend it if you woudnt mind the some of the extreme scenes. (There are also 2 sequels of this movie, but I havent seem them yet)

The movies I mentioned, though weird, arent as weird and sick as Ichi the Killer. They have slightly more story in them :lol:

Hehe i like sensei Takashi movies..
:battered:
Cid - March 10, 2006 08:04 PM (GMT)
I have seen Revolver and it's a pretty good.
Jason Statham (from the Transporter) and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) play in it. The story is about revenge in the underworld with interesting plots and helluva soundtrack. The movie can be discribed as a mix between Casino, Payback and another movie which name I wont reveal since it would spoil the plot I did.
Recommendable

Trainspotting is a 1996 film directed by Danny Boyle based on the novel Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh about a group of heroin addicts in Edinburgh and their passage through life. It stars Ewan McGregor (as Mark Renton), Ewen Bremner (as Spud Murphy), Jonny Lee Miller (as Sick Boy), Kevin McKidd (as Tommy), Robert Carlyle (as Begbie) and Kelly Macdonald (as Diane). Author Irvine Welsh also has a brief appearance, as drug dealer Mikey Forrester.
The movie's screenplay was adapted from Welsh's novel by John Hodge. Interestingly, the screenplay does not contain any overt references to the non-drug-related hobby of train spotting but instead is a reference to an episode in the original book, where Begbie and Renton encounter, in the disused Leith Central railway station, Begbie's destitute father, who apparently is just "trainspotting."
Its release sparked controversy in some countries, including the United Kingdom and United States, as to whether it promoted drug use. U.S. Senator Bob Dole decried its moral depravity and glorification of drug use during the 1996 U.S. presidential campaign, although he admitted that he had not actually seen the film. However, it was generally praised as an inventive, highly effective film, and received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in that year's Academy Awards. In 1999 the film came 10th in a BFI poll of British films, while in 2004 the magazine Total Film named it the 4th greatest British film of all time.
The film's release was supported by an imaginative marketing campaign using flyers inspired by rave culture and posters of each of the main actors. Owing to illness, Kevin McKidd went on holiday having finished shooting for the film and did not attend the photoshoot for the posters.
Boyle has stated his wish to make a sequel to Trainspotting which will take place 10 years after the original film, based on Irvine Welsh's sequel, Porno. He is reportedly waiting until the original actors themselves age visibly enough to portray the same characters, ravaged by time; Boyle joked that the natural vanity of actors would make it a long wait. There have been rumours that a feud exists between McGregor and Boyle, stemming from Boyle's decision to pass over McGregor in favor of Leonardo DiCaprio for his adaptation of The Beach, which would make such a reunion impossible. However, both parties have dismissed the rumours.
The film has been parodied on the animated FOX series The Simpsons in episode 317, The Regina Monologues which originally aired on November 23 2003. It has also been parodied on another FOX show, Family Guy. An episode features Stewie becoming addicted to pancakes, and the subsequent aftermath.

The Emperor and the Assasin
Ok then.. So be it.. A classic beauty from me.. Why i love this movie? Because its a very nice historic movie, the most expensive Chinese movie made, a true classic with great acting.. But most of all this movie has one of the most beautiful Asian woman ever alive.. Gong Li.. Strongly recommended.
Original WebsiteTHE EMPEROR AND THE ASSASSIN, set during the third century BC, is the story of an ambitious King, Ying Zheng, obsessed with unifying all of China and becoming its first emperor. To this end, he embarks upon an unparalleled reign of terror and brutality against all who, he believes, stands between him and his destiny.

Gong Li as Lady Zhao

The Emperor

and the Assasin
Clearday-TRForce - March 21, 2006 04:11 PM (GMT)
I definetely find your choice good. The Emperor and the Assasin is a masterpiece film. I recommend it to all, how can I forget it?
Trainspotting is the another good film.But The Emperor and the Assassin is really shaking the cinema hall.

The last movies I saw were:
1.Clerks 2 Which was awesomeand very very funny.Almost as brilliant as the first one.Kevin Smith knows his stuff.
2.X-Men 3 It was ok,but I expected better.It almost seems that they cut down on expences(only few action scenes) and the plot is very thin too.
