The Korean Oldboy is great.

No country for old men
Minority report
Leon the proffessional
Goodfellas

Watched 20 minutes of no country for plebs a while back before laughing it off and deleting it from harddrive.

don't think I have but I have however seen numerous movies with the main actor in them, went on a korean spree a couple of years back

some I can recommend as being quality;

The Chaser (great)
a Bittersweet life (great)
I saw the Devil (good)
the yellow sea (great)
a dirty carnival (amazing)
The New World (great)

all of them are up there with the best crime thrillers made in hollywood in the last 15 years IMO

Thanks. I'll check them out.

Just watched "Last Exit Reno". Was a bit boring. Was still worth it for a young Brittany Murphy doe.

No Country for Old Plebs

I thought it was unnecessarily slow and meandering with a severe lack of substance. The acting was good and the film had an interesting style of cinematography. However, it lacked tension, suspense and all of the characters felt underdone. I didn't care about any of them. It was interesting to watch once, but it's not something that I have the urge to see again.

I last saw it when I was 15/16 and I remember it being pretty complex so I would need to give it another go to comment further.

Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy and it was quite good. I preferred Daniel Craig's version of Blomkvist and Noomi Rapace's version of Lisbeth although Rooney Mara played the part quite well. Overall, it was one of the better sets of movies I've seen in recent time and is worth a watch.

Definitely enjoyed No Country for Old Men and would recommend it to people, but I personally found it somewhat overhyped. I don't necessarily agree with Forza about lacking suspense or tension, but I do agree about the characters feeling underdone, and the story to me wasn't really compelling. Javier Bardem's performance was incredible as well. It's been a while since I've seen it though, and I've never rewatched it, so perhaps I would change my opinion upon a second watch but...I thought it was an enjoyable movie, probably not picture of the year, and taking into account, say, the last decade of movies...it's not near the top for me.

Watched Straight Outta Compton.

Holy shit. Probably the best movie I have watched this year. Can't decide between this and Mad Max. All the actors were on point. The time when NWA was on their prime was definitely the best part of the movie but still, as a movie I don't really have any complaints on it. As someone who is looking out for historical accuracy, they cut out some important parts like Ren and Yella's career, Dre/Eazy-E feud, Dre hitting Dee Barnes and shit. It is understandable, it is impossible to cover everything. Heard the director's cut of the movie is one hour longer, really hope it's released. Recommended to all film fans, I went with some people who don't really give two shits about hip hop and they really got into the movie and agreed it was pretty great.

Inside Out finally arrived. Absolutely mesmerizing. I can't express how much I loved this one. Can't remember the last time I cried in a cinema.

This really hit home and showed what growing up really feels like. Kind of how I wished Boyhood had done more.

Can't wait for it to come on bluray

It's up there for my best movie of the year so far. Think I'll have it just above Mad Max and Ex Machina. But I'll have to wait some time. But seriously though, that concept


Also the trailer for The Good Dinosaur was absolutely stunning. Best looking animated film I've ever seen. Pixar are gonna have a race for the oscar this year.

Great response, ArsenalLearning. Looking forward to more insightful comments on future posts.

Watch Straight Outta Compton you poses

Inside Out has been in the cinema for ages here. Wanted to go watch it when it first came out but couldn't find anybody to go with.

Now gotta wait for 240p shaky cam rip on pb

Straight Outta Compton 1080p is available but like the Entourage one the nude scenes are cut.
