One Upon a Time in the West
I'm sure I've talked about it in this thread already. I friggin' love this movie. When I first watched it I found it boring, though visually genius. But now I just love it. It's amazing on every level, but especially in it's technical execution. The cinematography, the themes and imagery throughout, the score, the sound design, all just perfection.

I still haven't seen Raging Bull. Taxi Driver seems pretty up your alley.
It was REALLY good, just not at all what I expected it to be. I'm going to have to watch it again now that I know better.
The more I think about Taxi Driver, the more it reminds me of American Psycho. Only, while American Psycho looked at the rich urban yuppy lifestyle and the lies and the mundane day-in-day-out life, Taxi Driver looks at the polar opposite class of society, looking at the working class, the poor, and urban decay.
I'm using the black forum theme and can't read anything you write. Sorry.
Basically this, though I didn't care enough to say anything.

Just got done watching Attack the Block. Gotta say... this is now my favorite monster movie.
I REEEEEEEEEEEALLY want to see that movie. I told a friend of mine about it and sent her the link to the trailer on it's opening weekend. She was like "We need to see this together."
Then she went and saw it the next day without me.
Huhrumph.
I wonder if it's on netflix...
*edit: nope.

Right up there with Goodfellas. It's simply really, really good.

The Breakfast Club
I had never seen it before. My sister warned me that it's not just very overrated, but it's flat out boring. I can agree with her that it's maybe overrated, but I actually really dug it. Surprisingly enjoyable considering there's very little actual jokes or anything.
Also Allison was way cuter before Molly Ringwald dolled her up at the end.

A friend of mine went to China. Came back with a copy of Battleship.
Oh. God. This was BAD. I mean, REALLY BAD. The dialogue is terrible, the acting terrible, the humour humourless (with the excpetion of a slap stick scene at the very beginning), and everything about it made no sense.
Stay away from this movie! This is someone trying to imitate Michael Bay...that thought should scare the living PISS out of you.
The only good that came from watching it was riffing it with my group of friends.

is it true that (battleship spoiler) ((I feel stupid spoiling this))
the climax is a bunch of WW2 vets randomly joining the fight again in some ship and blowing shit up even though they are like 100 years old

Also, at any point does someone exclaim "You sunk my battleship!"?
Don't forget that they somehow bring the USS Missouri (aka the titular "Battleship") back to combat ready status even though it's been a decomissioned museum ship for a long time.
Here's a really well written article on how to watch the Star Wars movies with someone who hasn't seen any of them before
wait so that wasn't a joke /trolling thing by my european friend
Sadly it was not. It's a terrible plot point that just completes the poo frosting on the turd cake that is the movie Battleship.
Agreed. This is up there with UltraViolet and DragonBall Evolution for me. BAD movie.
X-Men: First Class
Even though I heard a surprising amount of positive feedback on this one, I refused to believe it was any good. I was wrong. It was very good. Not "BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER" good, but pretty damned good. Streets ahead of what I expected.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on both Aeon Flux and Ultraviolet there, Shegs. I watched the former completely and thought it sucked monkey balls. I only saw the beginning of the latter and decided not to torture my eyeballs any more.
Just how I see it, naturally.
Yeah I greatly hated Ultraviolet and Aeon Flux. I got them both as free HD-DVDs (yeah, stop laughing, I lost that gamble), and I vaguely recall one being fun to laugh at and the other being "fuck my life"
ALSO I really liked X-Men First Class. I was able to forgive some of the in-joke clumsiness for a pretty good narrative. Michael Fassbender was electric. Jennifer Lawrence is also one of my favorite actresses.
