Top action/mind-bending movies

[Engert]

Actually that was OK. Didn't think that was great or anything. Just OK.
I think IN TIME was more interesting than Repo Men.
And there's some gay characters in IN TIME too like Justin Timberlake.

Repo Men was a fucking awful movie and In Time looked like it was definitely not In Taste.

 

[Engert]

For me In Time was more interesting because it was a new concept in a movie. Nevermind that the story and actors sucked.
But Repo Man? They already do illegal organ transplants now so that's why i thought it wasn't that original for a future movie.

What do you think about Source Code?

 

[pwsincd]

source code had promise , but kinda fell away imo ... vanilla sky is pants ... checked flared pants. Although total recal got panned for not being as good as the original i like it better cuz arnie seriously cannot act.

 

[Engert]

Source code has that promising start.
Throws you into a confusing situation which you can't figure out.
And the end is open ended. Are there multiple realities (parallel universes)?
Vanilla sky (despite the boring start) in the end left you with a big question. What happens if you transfer your conscience into a computer and later find out that you're not alive but only your thoughts are alive?
I think these concepts were interesting.
How come you don't like the Governor of Kalifornia?

You know that keeps coming up in Netflix but i haven't seen it. It's actually a suggestion for me based on my preferences.
I'll put it in my queue.

I have to recommend The Last Airbender because if someone can bend air, that person's movie can bend your mind.

The Oldboy on Netflix though is dubbed and not subbed. I suggest watching it subbed since dub overs are kinda silly.

Shit. I hate dubs too. Where the hell do i find the un-dubed version?

Found it.

Amazon.com

Since we're on Foreign Movies, how about HeadHunters or the Sound of Noise?

The Returner

The Returner

That seems like a movie right up my alley.
Added to queue.
I like Japanese movies. Because they stick to the category they belong to, until the end.
If you watch an American revenge movie for example, half way through the film it will try to become more than a revenge movie and become more sophisticated with overused clichés. So in the end it sucks.
But most Japanese movies, if they start as something (for example revenge) they usually end as an escalated revenge movie in the end with more blood and gore, less talk more action.

Casshern.

Here’s an example of an underrated, low-budget, hated-by-critics movie that could turn into a cult movie.
Iron Sky.
It’s Nazis in space invading the Earth from the Moon. If you’re expecting anything but absurdity you’re in the wrong movie. So enjoy it. Fucking awesome.
Reminds me of Space Balls by Mel Brooks.

Lockout

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1592525/

Great movie with great dialogue by Luc Besson.
For all you 13 year olds, Luc Besson is the guy who made Nikita. Ah shit you probably don't know what Nikita is do you?
Hmm let me try it another way, Luc Besson is the Justin Beaver of cinematography.

OMG OMG OMG OMG

wtf are you talking about? Nikita? No. Nikita is a shitty CW "version" of La Femme Nikita which was an amazing Frence film that spawned a less than amazing American version called "Point of No Return"... And why even mention La Femme Nikita when Besson has had even better films out there, ie; Leon: The Professional, The Fifth Element, etc...?

 

[Engert]

You know what i meant. When i mentioned Besson i don't mean the lame U.S. mini-series.

How can we relate Leon and the fifth element to 13 year olds?

 

[xist]

Lockout was not a great movie. Guy Pearce is eminently watchable but the budget on this is evident, and the scripting and plotting wanting.

 

[Engert]

There were great one-liners in that movie. Kind of like Sin City one-liners.
The main character in the movie is an asshole from beginning to end. I love how he treats president's daughter.

President's daughter - aren't you coming to the escape pod?
Snow - Nah, i got a hot date.
