Re: Hidden Gems

Looking at your list of films seen it appears that everything you've ever watched is perfect or near-perfect. Not much to go on here.

You seem to like political thrillers.

My first recommendation is a Brazilian movie called "Z". After that maybe "Battle of Algiers".

Re: When Ratings Vary Widely, Averages Can't Be Trusted

You should get a girlfriend bud ;) I ignore my PSI for the most part. I rate movies based on things like year they came out and similar movies around the same time (maybe a 5 year span or so), genre in general and in same time period, other wack comparisons I might make (the directors other films et...

Re: Favourite Films Of All Time?

North by Northwest Hard Boiled Streets of Fire Event Horizon (served as the push to make my podcast actually happen since we decided to have a segment where we have to relate movies we watch in some way or another to Event Horizon) Peep the submarine movie "Below" it reminded me of Event Horizon.

Submarine movies

The military version of werewolf movies. Where they all at? Recently I had a lengthy discussion with a naval officer friend and we could barely name 10 sub movies combined (he said Crimson Tide is better than Das Boot LOL). As per the collection I see I'm not missing any of the big ones, so do any o...

Re: Recommend me some movies to watch.

Cheers bud! I've had Macon County and Vice Squad on my radar for awhile so we'll start there. God Told me To is fantastic! Cohen's best I think. I've been home for a few months now, taking baby steps on my own before I start physio. With a little luck I'll be walking in time for western Canadian win...

Recommend me some movies to watch.

I'm recovering from a broken leg and have exhausted my books and video games. I've seen a lot of film but am open to things I haven't seen or something that's due a rewatch. The only rules are: -No subtitles (I'll be watching from too far away to read them) -No rom-coms -No slow moving movies, nothi...

Re: Final Toll for Horror?

Well said, Denizen.
Horror, as a genre, will never die out -- people LOVE to be scared. It makes a lot of us feel alive. If this is truly the way you feel about the genre, Stewball, stop watching them. Your opinion is not needed.

Re: Criticker's Incorrect Release Dates

At least you got a reply from MrHitz, I've messaged him twice about this and have gotten no reply whatsoever. What a dink.
