Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

Watched 2 movies last week .
Ted 2012 : 8/10 Nice funny movie with vulgar jokes . Good to see a teddy bear swearing and humping . Saw it with GF , not a family movie .
Cloud Atlas : 7/10 I have also read the book earlier and hence understood it , some people might not get it at the first attempt . Book was far better , director could have done better to avoid the confusion .

The Raid Redemption (2011): 6.5/10

Pretty good Indonesian action flick, better than the current action movies.

just watched cloud atlas
gonna read the book, some bits were very well done, but overall felt the movie tried to cover too much ground and the screenplay was a little shoddy and confusing
still, could understand what was in the book by looking at the movie, but that was only because have read Black Swan Green, another book by the same author...
expected more from the makers of the matrix and perfume
looking forward to the strugglers (marathi) and skyfall

^^ My thoughts were the same.
Looks like we expected from Wachowskis a bit more.

 

[Anorion]

need to process it a bit more, maybe watch it again
David Mitchell's works don't exactly read like movies, there are some bits you simply cannot show on screen, one favorite line of mine is "A cow of an awkward pause mooed", that stuff cannot translate easily to screen, so think the Wachowskis and Tykwer had their work cut out. Stand out performance was by Hugo Weaving, rocked all his roles to perfection

If you really wanna laugh for a certain period than
Ali G Lindahouse
Bruno m
Borat
The dictator
are a certain watch

 

[a_medico]

^^ Did you really find Bruno funny?

 

[Flash]

Haven't watched Ali G Lindahouse.
But I certainly won't recommend Bruno, apart from Borat & Dictator!

Guys how would be Mirrors Unrated? Does unrated mean that there maybe some nudity which may not be there in the Rated one?
Gore and Violence if it's more compared to rated one then it should be fine.

 

[nac]

^ Unrated - It just means, censor board didn't rate that version. You will get some extra scenes which was removed in the rated version. As far as this movie Mirror is concern there won't be huge difference between rated and unrated, I guess.

 

[Krow]

It is censor board. Not sensor board.

 

[nac]

It is censor board. Not sensor board.

reading too much about digital camera have made that happened...

Anyway, censor board sense with their senses, to censor the scenes.

Audition (2001) - 7/10
Nice horror movie...gets confusing towards the end..

 

[Anorion]

watched cloud atlas again
could watch very carefully and attentively, there was no one else in the hall
the censor board messages interrupted the movie very badly, and there are jarring cuts in some important bits, as well as some bits being blurred out... so basically need to wait for DVD for catching the entire movie
this is a very different kind of movie
they have done something different, some bits they speak a modified version of english, which was well done
references to Soylent Green and 1984

 

[RCuber]

^^ what messages and what cuts? .. tell me about it without spoilers.... yet to watch the movie.

 

[Anorion]

^there are three montages in the film, one at the start it is the title sequence, one is a dream sequence, and one at the climax of the movie... (which is not at the end, about an hour before the end) this last one mixes dream sequences and real sequences across space and time, along with sequences that are caught on film or broadcasted within the movieverse... this is the one time you hear the cloud atlas sextet (also composed within the movie) and there are 2-3 cuts in this sequence, so you cannot hear the whole track, and you miss a bit of what is happening, and what they do show you is too fast to make sense because of the cuts
then there are a bunch of shots where something gruesome is about to happen and you are left guessing whether they will actually show it or not
one of these gory sequences were blurred out, several sequences of nudity are blurred out (suspect some were cut outright), and then there is a scrawl on the movie saying smoking is injurious to health every time someone smokes on screen... this is pretty frequent, and at random times, even if one guy is holding a pipe in a room full of people

worst part was having to see two different versions of the breaking dawn trailer
