mrc Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Curious if anyone has any good movie (dvd) leads. I just picked up the dvd set called Planet Earth from BBC - its a nature documentary of wildlife almost no one has filmed and it cost 25+ million dollars to make. Looks fantastic and pretty interesting. Also just got HOT FUZZ Lets here what you got. Please let me know if you have seen any good horror/zombie movies.

Guest scriptedrain Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I bought my girlfriend that Planet Earth set for her birthday in April, we still haven't got around to watching it but I can't wait to see it. I don't know what you're into other than horror / zombie movies (which I don't watch at all, I'm more of a comedy / drama / "indie" fan myself). I can't wait to see "Superbad" on Friday, but that's in the theatre. I'd really like to see how this thread goes, as I'm always looking for movies recs from friends and family. - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Probably my favorite zombie film is Zombie (aka Zombi 2). If you're into zombie films, you've probably already seen it, but if not, check it out. http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?p=....nd&isort=sc ore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scriptedrain Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm a big fan of Mark Ruffalo, I've been meaning to see Zodiac for a long time. - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 oh man Hot Fuzz was great, I'm assuming you've sean Shawn of the Dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 shawn of the dead is a classic in my book! For those who like zombie films, there is this movie called The Undead. It is an austrialian film that is unreal. its kinda like a weird matrix/zombie movie that isnt super low budget. and Zombi is a good movie as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 undead was pretty cool. a lot funnier than i expected, the trailer didn't hype up the comedy angle, but it definately took a lot of cues from peter jackson's earlier work.

Guest scriptedrain Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ironically, I watched Black Sheep (Chris Farley) today, probably for the first time in over 10 years. - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Man oh man, Planet Earth is so freakin' sweet. The stuff they somehow captured on film is so breathtaking. You get super-involved with the animals, you start rooting for them in certain situations and when they don't make it in whatever they're trying to do, you honestly get sad. Seriously, everyone should rent/buy Planet Earth. Richard Attenburough (the old guy from Jurassic Park) narrates it expertly, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 My dad just bought "The Puffy Chair". It's an indie flick by the Duplass Brothers, it was pretty good. Also, I'm really excited to see Super Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Man there is one of the "episodes" that has apes/chimps and they have a gang fight with another group of monikees and it was the craziest thing ever! they ended up canabilzing one of the monkees they killed. that must have been intense to film, and pretty scary if you ask me.

destroyingthescene Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've seriously watched Hot Fuzz 6 times since it's come out on DVD, I fucking love it! I watch a lot of foreign films and I wholeheartedly recommend anything directed/written by Chan-wook Park. He's most famous for Oldboy, which is probably my favourite film, but his other films are also all quite good. My roommate is a HUGE zombie flick fan, I'll ask him if he knows any recent good ones. It's not new, but Wild Zero is pretty sweet - Japanese garage rock band Guitar Wolf battle zombies with the power of rock and roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotnerd Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 i actually thought wild zero was pretty terrible. my friends insisted i watch it b/c they refer to me lovingly as "guitar wolf". but i just didn't like it. it was ridiculous and overblown, and kinda silly, but also just not that good. i feel like a terrible person b/c i still haven't seen hot fuzz. i might just go buy it.

mrc Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 I have really been into Documentaries lately and watched this last weekend and found it to be rather awesome. POPaganda: The Art & Crimes of Ron English he did all the artwork for the movie supersize me, but he does a ton of political and guerilla artwork. Climbs bilboards and posts over them. really cool stuff, i suggest anyone interested in art of any kind check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbananagrabber Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 if you're interested in documentaries, find Crumb. it's about Robert Crumb, an artist and he drew some really weird cartoons and his family is pretty messed up. here's the trailer:http://www.madman.com.au/actions/trailer.do?method=view&videogramId=152 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
