Star Trek was brilliant.

never been a fan on ANYTHING that begins with Star - but Star Trek 2009 was stylish and witty.Great great CGI and a damn interesting storyline to follow! Oh and that chick is hot... :p
 
An interesting note on the movie Antichrist (Willem Dafoe).

From Wiki:
Props for the more violent scenes were provided by the company Soda ApS, and made in their workshop in Nørrebro, Copenhagen. Plaster casts were made of Willem Dafoe's leg as well as of the "porno doubles'" sexual organs. A plastic baby with authentic weight was made for the opening scene. A dead deer fetus was modeled after pictures found using Google Image Search, and a nylon stocking was used as caul. In the scene where Dafoe's character ejaculates blood it is the real "porno double's" penis that is seen, with fake blood being sprayed by the prop crew. The vagina prop was constructed with its inner parts detachable for easy preparation if several takes would be needed.[20]

The film features 80 shots with computer-generated imagery, provided by the company Platige Image in Poland. Most of these consist of digitally removed details such as the collar and leash used to lead the deer, but some were more complicated. The scene where the fox, with the director's voice, utters the words "chaos reigns" was particularly difficult to make. The mouth movements had to be entirely 3D animated in order to synchronise with the sound.[21]

The aria "Lascia ch'io pianga" from Georg Friedrich Händel's opera Rinaldo is used as the film's main musical theme.[22] The aria has previously been used in other films such as Farinelli, a 1994 biographical film about the castrato singer Farinelli.[23]



Controversies
The ecumenical jury at the Cannes festival gave the film a special "anti-award" and declared the film to be "the most misogynist movie from the self-proclaimed biggest director in the world".[26][29][30] Cannes festival director Thierry Frémaux responded that this was a "ridiculous decision that borders on a call for censorship" and that it was "scandalous coming from an 'ecumenical' jury".[30]

The film has also come under attack for its explicit and often disturbing sexuality, including the opening scene showing a toddler falling to its death while He and She have sex on the bed nearby. The film has also invited controversy for its graphic sexual violence. In one controversial scene, She hits His testicles with a wooden plank so hard that it is implied they are crushed. While He is unconscious, she masturbates him until he ejaculates blood. She then drills a hole through his shin to bolt him onto a grindstone. In a later scene, She cuts off her own clitoris with a pair of rusty scissors.

Lol! You guys are so narrowminded.

This movie is brilliant! The opening with the aria "Lascia ch'io pianga" was so brilliantly done I had to watch it again.

And that scene with the deer foetus was a bit disturbing.
 
Huge fan of the comic book cant wait to see what its like on the big screen
Kick-Ass teaser

Too much even for the morons over at Cannes :eek:

This will be mainstream in a decade or two. Gotta love Hollywood :rolleyes:
 
2012 was bad, like end of the world bad. But what do you expect from a Roland Emmirich this is the same guy who directed 10,000 bc , Godzilla, Universial soldier.

Seriously All his films have corny garbage plots, one dimentional characters, and crappy editing.
 
This film was exactly the same as The day after tommorow, characters were very similar esp the comparasons between John Cusack charater in ''2012'' and Dennis Quaid's character from ''The Day after Tommorow''.
 
There are some good ones coming out:

The Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans (Nicholas Cage)
Harry Brown (Michael Caine)
Precious
The Canyon
Woman In Berlin
The Box
