In the Mouth of Madness might be my personal favorite John Carpenter film

One of John Carpenter's best films, and maybe my personal favorite of his. Atmospheric horror filmmaking at its finest. The film just oozes atmosphere and eeriness. A fantastic cast (with the exception of Julie Carmen who is admittedly weak) and great practical effects. The film is like a nightmare/dream you might have...
The Sixth Sense… somehow avoided the twist and WOW

Holy fuck. I’d heard there was a great twist somewhere in this movie and so I didn’t go in completely blind, but I had no idea what it would actually be. So the whole time various ideas popped into my head, but I never once suspected Malcolm to be dead, even after thinking to myself “wow how the hell did he survive that...
Car chase/action scenes from the 60's and 70's are far superior than anything modern. You can keep your F&Fs.

Maybe because of the longer, wider shots with heavy cars. It feels like I am there on the sidelines watching.Today, you could shoot an entire 10 minute car chase in 1 square block with enough quick editing. I know a modern day Bullitt would suuuuuck.There is something almost magical in the old movies. via /r/movies h...
The first 25 minutes of The Fellowship of The Ring is my favorite part of the whole LOTR trilogy

Of course, the whole trilogy is amazing but there are many things about that beginning that I love. From Galadriel's prologue until the moment Bilbo leaves after letting go of the ring is, I believe, a perfect introduction.But there's something else and I don't know how to say it clearly. I guess is the feeling Gandalf...
There is a surprising lack of amazing fantasy movies.

I know this is up for debate. I did want a discussion out of this but for me, when I have that fantasy itch, I almost always come back to the Lord of the Rings movies. Now they are extremely great movies but having watched them a million times I want to see what else is out there that has the epic scale and grandeur....
Nightcrawler is absolutely terrifying

I just watched it the other day, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s character scares me. He’s just some like pamphlet about business strategies personified, almost all of his personality being him saying a tip about negotiating a price or talking about business goals. His eyes are so massive in this movie they dominate his whole face...
Zack Snyder would benefit from a Co-Director moreso than any other active filmmaker

Over the years there have been several directors (most of whom have acheived wild commercial success), that have a technical mastery of the craft of filmmaking, but show major deficiencies in either creating believable characters & motivation and/or writing intricate exchanges between characters (that isnt just a...
Watching Scott Pilgrim, it's weird seeing Brie Larsen, Mary Elizabeth Winsted, Aubrey Plaza, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans, and Jason Schwartzmann in a supporting role to Michael Cera of all people.

It's weird because how big they all are now.Anyways, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is fucking awesome. I didn't realize how much I quoted this movie until I was watching it now. I Feel like it's every scene.Also, Brandon Routh should be allowed to do more comedy his timing is excellent.I'm drunk. It's been like 7 years...
David Fincher's adaptation of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is a dark masterpiece, both visually and psychologically, and it's a loss to all of us that we never got to see the full trilogy.

Like the title says.I just rewatched the movie and it is a sucker punch.From the amazingly disturbing opening credits (with a superb Immigrant Song cover), via a sickening rape scene with brutal revenge for Lisbeth all the way to that 3rd act which will definitely ruin Enya for a large group of viewers. The movie is just...
AUSTIN POWERS: All the Austin Powers movies are on Netflix and damn I forgot how stupid and funny these movies are

It's been like 20 years since I've seen these. They are even funnier as an adult. I enjoy when the jokes are so stupid it's just a big comedy bomb and I laugh even harder. Mike Myers was truly an entertaining wizard at work. Wish we got more from him now. The world probably feels they're too good for his humor now. Also....
