Okay, sooooo I just got back from seeing "Cabin In The Woods." It wasn't anything epic, but it was above avrage. I guess I got caught up in the hype and was expecting a little more.

I enjoyed it overall. Pretty original concept. The last 30 minutes felt rushed, but I guess that's understandable as they had a lot to explain LOL. Still a solid flick. Very original. I give it 8/10.

Im not gonna lie. It was really really good. I cant say there has ever been a "horror" film that I was still thinking about the next day. I actually want to go see it again.

Man, you guys are really hyping it up LOL. But I've heard from several of my friends that this was an awesome movie. I'm really interested now, I'll probably go see it after work today LOL.

"Raid: Redemption."

This movie is currently getting a 94% on rottentomatoes :cool:

RAID REDEMPTION finally opened up here in Denver this weekend. I saw it twice. It is probably one of the most violent movies I've ever seen. Top 5 easy. Close quarters combat with riot shotguns and AK74us and hand to hand combat. And a lot of people getting stabbed in the face and taking axes to the chest. Awesome.

This movie is 90 minutes long, and it probably goes no longer than 4 minutes without somebody dying. Right from the start.

Fight scenes were over the top amazing. I give it 94/100.

Not sure if this movie is still playing in DC, but if you consider yourself a fan of action movies, you'll wanna see this movie.

"Human Centipede 2." Sweet Mary, what a sick movie. Much more nasty than the first.

And yet I still somehow enjoyed it. I wonder what that says about me...

He gonna be doing that after scrambling in the end zone for six

I can see it now

Dawggggg don't get me excited man!

Can't wait man....CAN'T WAIT.

^ :ols:

Cowboys vs. Aliens. Terrible film. Sent it back to Netlfix as quick as I could.

Awww man, that movie was so bad LOL. Even though I knew it would probably be cheesy, I was like "Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford....meh. It can't be THAT bad." Wrong.

I doubt Harrison needs the money...maybe he's just getting old and willing to take anything thrown his way while he can still work

Awww man, why'd they do Timmy like that

After seeing No Mercy and H this weekend, I'd have to rank the 9 movies I've seen thus far as follows:

The Man From Nowhere

The Chaser

I Saw the Devil

Oldboy

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

No Mercy

Mother

Lady Vengeance

H

I'm not big on the hypnosis twist which is why I have Oldboy and H ranked lower than most. I wouldn't say any of them were bad movies though and I haven't regretted watching any of these.

I think I might have to check out Vengeance tonight. Looks pretty good from the trailer you posted.

Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't have Memories of Murder or JSA available for streaming, otherwise I'd definitely check them out.

I would agree with your list for the most part. I might change around the order of your top 3 putting I Saw the Devil first, but overall I'd keep them up top. Loved all those movies.

If you have Netflix DVD order service as well, JSA and memories of Murder can be ordered on blu-ray/DVD.

You will enjoy Vengeance, it was awesome. The leader of the chinese hit squad team is a BOSS.

I like your list bro. PLEASE GOD I beg you to watch Vengeance. It's one of my favorites. A frenchman and a chinese hit man crew hook up? EPICNESS.

I'm not sure if you have netflix dvd as well, but yes, JSA and Memories of Murder were not available on instant stream so we had to order them on netflix dvd.

Have you seen "Raid Redemption" yet? If you're in the dc area, PLEASE see it in DC while its still shwoing. You might only have a day or two left.

Somebody here on ES has seen it and they LOVED it. My buddy who is a self-proclaimed foreign film buff enjoyed it a lot and it's getting great reviews. I'm seeing it this Friday out here in Denver.

I think "Thirst" is playing on netflix on demand and that's an awesome movie. and the main chick is HAWTTTT

saw the raid yesterday. Might be the best pure action movie i've ever seen.

that is the list of when it hits theatres nationwide. It's limited release right now, but it's so badass, you have to find a way to see this movie. I saw it in d.c. Looks like it hits va and md next friday.

thank you!!!

I have several friends that saw this at the E-street theater in DC and said this movie was absolutely BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF amazing.

I live in Denver and it opens up out here this coming Friday the 13th. I've already got my tickets.

THIS MOVIE "RAID REDEMPTION" IS CURRENTLY GETTING A 95% ON ROTTENTOMATOES.

ATB, right on.. good flick. Saw it, recommended it to some friends who also dug it. The aliens in it were pretty cool as well.

Hech yeah, awesome movie. My foreign movie buff friend suggested it.

The leader of the crew was a beast.

"Attack the Block." Getting a 90% of Rottentomatoes.

A gang of teens from the EXTREME ghetto projects of London is out robbing people one night when alien pods of nasty little creatures with big teeth fall from space. For some reason, the aliens are looking for one of the kids and the gang is chased all over the ghettos of London by these aliens.

rom the producers of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Attack the Block follows a gang of tough inner-city kids who try to defend their turf against an invasion of savage alien creatures, turning a South London apartment complex into an extraterrestrial warzone

The ghetto vs outter space. Fun movie. It wasn't cheesy at all.

Wow, looks like Paula Gasol had bad night against the real LA professional basketbaal team. That may be the single most ownage in 1 game on the same guy

No doubt about it. Even though both of those plays could've had offensive foul calls (over the back, and the elbow), Pau definitely got OWNED. fell on the ground both times like a little *****.

"What? You ain't got no money for THE BOSS?"

Like a BAWSE

There is an EPIC Indonesian movie that has limited release in the states called "Raid: Redemption." It is currently playing in DC at the E Street theater. I have two friends that went to see it, and they both said it was balls-to-the-wall intense. I have to wait another 2 weeks before it comes out here to Denver.

This movie is currently getting a 94% on rottentomatoes :cool:

The film is a sort of high-speed demolition derby except with human actors. It is 100 percent highly concentrated whoop-ass, and it is sensational.

Extraordinary stunt and fight work and nonstop excitement, but a warning to those who are at all squeamish: this may be the most violent movie I've ever seen.

The Raid: Redemption is crack cocaine for action junkies like myself. It delivers an intense euphoric high that just makes you want to immediately go out and experience it again.

The only one I didn't really find that great was Mother. I'm probably going to check out Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance tonight. Others I have in my queue include: Lady Vengeance, No Mercy, and H.

I definitely agree, more people need to check out these movies.

Even though OldBoy is the most well known, both the vengeance movies were good too.

No Mercy is good and is has the guy from The Chaser as the main character. he's badass.

You will enjoy H as well, I liked it a lot.

Might I suggest:

"Memories of Murder" (about a small town in rural Korea that experiences its first ever serial killer)

"Joint Security Area" (about the DMZ and troops from N. Korea and S. Korea side become friends at night and hang out but then tratedy strikes)

"Thirst" a priest becomes a vampire and he tries to fight off the urges for blood. I can't remember which actor it is but the main character is in several of the other big korean thrillers.

and one of my faves, "Vengeance." A Frenchman's family is slaughtered, and so he teams up with a Chinese squad of hitmen and chases the bad guys all over China. EPIC movie.

Starting to get hooked on these Korean crime-thrillers. Just some of the ones I watched over the past 2 weeks that are definitely worth checking out:

The Man From Nowhere

The Chaser

Oldboy

I Saw the Devil

Welcome to the club, my friend.

Those movies on your list were some of my first Korean Thrillers. It's amazing how great those movies are, S. Korea is pumping out some awesome, ORIGINAL thrillers.

I wish more people would give them a try, they really don't know what they're missing. There's a reason why Hollywood is remaking several korean thrillers that have come out over the last few years.

<staff edit to comply with rule 13>

"How to Die in Oregon." An extremely depressing, but really well done documentary about terminally ill Oregonians who talk about how they decided to sign up for doctor assisted suicide to end their suffering.

This movie is currently getting 100% on rottentomatoes.com. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

This probably isn't a great selling point, but "How to Die in Oregon" had me choked up and my wife was borderline hysterical...

Light rail is what they have out here in Denver, too.

:ols: :ols:

For those of you not from the DC area, and you see people on here use the word bamma and you have no idea what we are talking about, just picture somebody like this.......

LOL. I haven't lived in DC for over 10 years, but I still use some of the lingo. "Bamma," "lunchin'," "ji (jive), "wholetime." LOL
