this one is a little more fun ..
I really wanted it to be a mix of information and fun ..
If you go too much either way it's either boring or like a private joke.
I think we found the balance and some reviews commented favourably on it ..

hey - at least you'd get to hear what i sound like :)

Missed all the hype - so I was pleasantly surprised.

Flesh Freaks
I remember enjoying this movie in High School. Even went as far to buy another copy because I misplaced the disc. YUCK! whhat was i thinking?! what a piece of junk!
Full Review

I watched this last night too and really liked it. I've been really into mumblecore and mumblegore lately, so I enjoyed seeing a bunch of familiar faces and all the loosely scripted, awkward dialog. The twist was a bit predictable and some of the 'fighting back' elements were a bit overly-inspired by Straw Dogs, but overall the suspense was pretty good, and a couple of the kill scenes were unique. I think it's easily Adam Wingard's best yet.

I've been into Mumblecore lately too. Any favorites/recommendations?

Out of The Furnace

From all the good things i heard about this, i expected it to be better. Its not bad by any means, in fact its pretty good. I was just expecting something amazing. The performances were great especially Casey Affleck and Woody Harrelson. Even Christian Bales quiet, awkward performance was done well. Forest Whitaker was totally wasted here though.

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug

I enjoyed the first one better. This one had less wonder and scenery and more action which seems to be the norm for second movies in a trilogy. Its still very good and Smaug was great, i just enjoyed the first one better.

I think the most bafflingly unique film I've seen is Computer Chess. It might also help that I'm a software engineer with a soft spot for retro computer stuff, but I don't think the film requires that type of interest to be enjoyed.

I really loved The Puffy Chair, and The Do-Deca-Pentathlon was a bit of fun. Although it's evolved from pure mumblecore, Frances Ha was enjoyable -- Greta Gerwig at her best. I think all those are on Netflix. Jeff, Who Lives at Home, and Cyrus, are bigger budget, but I thought pretty darn good. Open Five was not bad with a bit of patience (its on YouTube).

I have a long list of films yet to see. I don't think I've seen most of the essentials, like Funny Ha Ha, Hanna Takes the Stairs, Humpday... There are a surprising number on Netflix, but none of the essentials (except The Puffy Chair).

On the -gore front, I really want to rewatch House of the Devil, which I liked the first time, but didn't realize it was a part of a larger movement. I've watched Baghead twice, although it's light on scares. A Horrible Way to Die was okay, but You're Next is much better. I'm not sure it's truly mumblecore, but Bitter Feast was worth a watch.

I like Mumblecore/gore, as well, although I really have to be in the mood for it otherwise the films just come off as flat and bland. Some mumblecore/gore films I've seen...

Entrance
The House of the Devil
Silver Bullets
Sun Don't Shine
A Horrible Way To Die
Louise and Her Lover

Of all of these, I enjoyed A Horrible Way To Die the most. The House of the Devil was fun as well. Sun Don't Shine was a waste of time, along with Silver Bullets, unless you watch the latter for the Chekhovian influence alone. Entrance, likewise, requires a lot of patience, but I thought the pay off was worth it. ::smile::

....Now, as to my recent viewings, I watched two anthology horror films, Sanitarium and The Signal. The first two segments of Sanitarium were fun, although I didn't like the third act and Malcolm McDowell was way underused. The Signal, unfortunately, I did not like at all.

Jack Reacher

I enjoyed it....which is saying a lot since I haven't enjoyed many of Tom Cruise's movies.

Mumblecore has to be the most ridiculous hipster entry to film terminology I've ever heard ::big grin::
