Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clockwork_Creep's Must See List:
(Here are a number of films I think every human being should see as a necessary part to be counted as a person instead of a mindless beast.)

Re-Animator (Beautifully pulled off for a low budget 80's movie. Jeffory Combs is simply amazing.)
Watchmen
Zardoz (Greatest. Movie. ever.)

Movies I Hated:
(Here will go the movies I think were done very badly, or could have been much better in different hands)

Avatar.


Movie's Suggested to Me, But I've yet to see:
(This list will be updated when you people suggest movies.)

The Good, The Bad, and The Weird.

(All these lists shall be updated pretty much daily.)

BeeVee here. You saved me the trouble of posting my own thread here.

I recently pulled out my Bond collection and ran into some other Dvd's.

Recently watched in the last week or so...
-Live and Let Die (My favourite Bond)
-From Russia With Love (Second favourite. The ending was kinda too open. It felt like he accomplished nothing but felee the country in a train)
-The Crow (Another old movie)
-A Hard Day's Night (That Beetle's flick. I think it was the first one)
-The Road Warrior (F'k yes!)
-Mad Max and the Thunderdome (Felt disappointing compared to the last one)
-AVP:R (Watched because of how stoked I am to see the new one)
-Finding Nemo (Watched with my baby sister)
-Blade Runner (In my old movies box. It was in VCR format. Ancient, eh? )

Don't be talkin' s**t on The Illusionist.
That movie ******** made me flip s**t.

Personally, I've never been into the the
Bond movies. I'm not saying they're bad.
I've just never seen any of them.

Since I seem to be on in an action film
mood, here is a list of my favorites:

-Once Upon a Time in China (1-6)
A Jet Li series. VERY old stuff. Back when
dubbing really sucked, but the kick a**
fight scenes made up for it. For sitting
down and watching whenever having a
kung-fu movie marathon.
-Fearless
Best Jet Li movie ever. And I'm not a
big Jet Li fan. Seriously.
-Kung-fu Hustle
Anyone who has seen this movie and hated
it deserves to be shot. It's a great kung-fu
movie with alot of comedy also.
-Seven Swords
A not so great film, personally. But I
recommend this to anyone who plays
DnD, Exalted (whoo!), or anything similar.
It's packed full of great ideas for fighting
styles for roleplays as well as games.
-Deadful Melody (translation may vary)
I'm gonna have to check the translation
of this one, but this was the title on the
DVD my dad's cousin got me when he
came home from traveling in Asia.
Again, the dubbing sucks, but worth
watching. Not alot of fight scenes,
but it's very dramatic.

That's all the action films I can think of.
(Btw, the theme for The Good, Bad, and Weird
is so epic win. <3 Just sayin') Time for comedy:

-Going Postal
If you're a Terry Pratchet fan or
just love British comedy, watch
this movie. It's based off of
Pratchet's book by the same
title. Pratchet's movies are hard
to find because most of his works
are kinda old, and people only
recently started making the movies.
Alot of steampunk influences. <3
-The Color of Magic
Another Pratchet film. This has more
fantasy in it than Going Postal,
but it's just as good.

Can't really think of much else...
I've been watching alot of movies
recently, so I'll have to start keeping
a list of everything. xD

Bah, the remake may ruin the original
for me. D: The remake was pretty bad.
And I don't care much for the zombie
type films. Which is weird because I
fear zombie apocalypse, but like zombies.

ANYWHO.

I thought of another movie that I like.
And no one shoot me for saying this.

I love the movie Legion.

Mostly just for Gabriel. He's so badass
even though he doesn't do much.

I like the Wolverine movie that recently
came out too. But only really for Sabertooth.
He's pretty hot when he's partially shaven
and acts human. He's badass.

The Clash of the Titans remake was
alright. I enjoyed it because they put a
new twist into it that wasn't in the original,
and it actually worked out unlike many of
the remakes that come out. I recommend
it to anyone that doesn't mind the fact that
it doesn't completely follow the original.

If the new clash is supposed to be horror then I want my ******** money back. It was okay as far as monsters go but in all seriousness I was looking forward to Perseus being cinema's imitation of Kratos. All I got was some fisherman wanna-be atheist caught in a mythical world. (Something that pisses me off to no end that atheist bit. How can you say that the gods have done nothing for you when they send heroes like Perseus and Kratos out to kill monsters like the Kraken and the Medusa? It just doesn't make sense.)

A couple of ******** sweet movies that I recommend to no end are District Nine, Seven Samurai (******** old-a** black and white piece of pure raw awesomeness that might be a little hard to swallow but totally worth the effort), Van Hellsing, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Punisher (Tom Jane and John Travolta, not that "Warzone" piece of embarrassment incarnate), Robin Hood (Kind of a more historically accurate origins story more than "This is the legend, bask in it's glory" thing), Hercules (you nostalgia'd and you know it), Dracula 2000 and I think I'll stop there.

Will smith? Vampires? Guns? Blood? Sounds like your average blockbuster horror/action smash hit. As for Dracula 3000, thanks for the warning. I shall fully endeavor to steer clear of that.

Now some films I think should be shoved back up who's ever a** they were shat out of.

Transformers. Micheal bay needs to learn how to do his job before he even attempts to do anything else or be allowed anywhere near anyone's childhood again.

It goes without saying but...Twilight.... Everything and I do mean absolutely EVERYTHING about it needs to be slapped across the face with the thickest and broadest textbook in existence and then incinerated and the ashes scattered out into space. It is a complete desecration of everything and anything that anyone should ever aspire to write about, have written about or be writing about. ((Robert Pattenson is an UGLY ********. Not the pretty-boy that most of the young female population (and I say that as it seems to be almost exclusively women who read this s**t and furthermore young women who seem to like the movies) seems to be making him out to be.))
That's all I'll say here because I could literally go on for about two hours listing off ways that the above (save for the bracketed) applies.

Where was I...? Oh yes. Ice age 2 and 3. Seriously?! Why!?! Why the hell would you bother to continue on randomly after you had a perfect standalone story of pure childish awesomeness that made me feel genuine emotion!?! What the ******** PIXAR!!?!

And while I'm on PIXAR, Shrek...you've had four movies now!!! ******** off and die!!! You barely deserved the one!! You aren't that funny!

My mistake, that Pixar bit. Apologies. I must say that shrek was never all that funny for me, the first one was in my opinion mediocre at best and it went steadily downhill from there. The first one was kind of it's own thing but the second one was "Meet the parents", the third one was "Are we there yet" mixed with Rugrats only without the awesome babies that helped me fight through my childhood, instead there were these ugly mucus monsters that cried and wore diapers and had stupid hairdos. The fourth one basically looks like their ripoff of "The twilight zone" and every movie that involves one person trying to specifically ******** up another person's life out of spite.

The best film I've seen this year has to be Predators. Even though there are a couple of iffy bits (if not a lot), I liked it. I liked how they re-established the Predator race as just that; a ******** predator race as opposed to some pseudo-righteous tribal warriors who exist solely to hunt Alien and millions of his mother's brood-spawn. It was a cool idea, perfect prey against the perfect predator makes perfect sense, but why do humans always have to enter the mix? And furthermore, why do they always enter the mix as the good guys?! Why are there ANY good guys?! I thought this was supposed to be the ultimate hunt! Not another 'humanity versus monsters from space' story! Dont get me wrong, I loved AVP (not requiem though) and I still watch it whenever I can but...what the ********. Seriously....
