While remembering Spock, anyone see the excellent cable TV movie of Brave New World with Leonard Nimoy as Mustafa?

Amazing adaption. Faithful to the book and Nimoy, of course, was superb. Unfortunately, not only is the movie not streaming, it isn't even on DVD.

A few people have contacted me showing interest in making a movie based off of my experience. I would love for you fellow redditors to be a part of it!

I'm working on a project where the main conflict revolves around power plays inside a major company, including two major conflicts - 1) Between the owner/father and his son he's grooming but is unsure about the morality of his father's business, and 2) A higher-up in the company trying to position himself to take over and steer them in a different direction. The son is tempted to join him.

That's really bare-bones shit, but the point is that I'm looking for other movies about power plays and particularly movies about empire, where the aging ruler is trying to preserve his dynasty but the new guard ain't so sure.

What are your favourite dark scenes which sound dumb out of context?

My votes go to "I drink your milkshake" and "EEERSH TO EEERSH/Ass to ass"

I've only got The One, can anyone think of other examples?

The Church scene is edited. Its really short.

I just got back from seeing this film on its opening night here in the UK and I have to say I loved this film.

However almost everyone else in the cinema hated it to the point where I started to doubt my perceived love of the film.

After speaking to my brother in law (who I saw the film with) he said he felt lied to by the adverts and he said he expected the film to be more of a jump scare horror then the slow, tense thriller that the film ended up being.

Recently other critically acclaimed horror films have also received negative attention from audiences after they felt duped by the adverts. The Babadook is another good example of this.

I guess my question is: Is this going to damage the marketability of all different types of films in the horror genre?

The way I see it, audiences will lose trust in the genre is they keep being tricked into seeing films they thought would be very different.

What are your thoughts?

In the final scene of Kingsman, we have a fight that stops and starts according to music playing (I know, the music isn't playing for everyone, the soundtrack corresponds to the frequency and the music is only playing in the bunker), and the fight then moves on to the dance floor where Gazelle literally break-dance fights Eggsy. Any one else feel and appreciate the nod from one great conspiracy comedy to another?

Topic, Ive seen pretty much everything zombie related and im trying to find something new.

I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to the states this summer. A buddy of mine is out there already so we're gonna link up and hit the road for a month - 6 weeks.

New Orleans, Memphis, Savannah, Charleston, Asheville, Austin, Big Bend National Park, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Marfa, Texas - a few southern places that are standing out on vague inspection. I reiterate; vague inspection.

We also might go up the West coast too. We're planning on doing it pretty cheap, hitch-hiking where possible, couchsurfing, motels, hostels etc. We've no car.

I love films and my favourite film happens to be a road movie of sorts - five easy pieces.

Any recommendations for great movies about vagabonds, drifters or just straight up travellers?

Preferably set in America. Also any great movies set in the south I should watch - road/adventure movie or otherwise?

Muchas Gracias

The premise of Before I Go to Sleep is quite a good one. A woman wakes up each day with no memory beyond her early twenties; soon she begins to realize that some dark secrets are being hidden from her. I highly recommend watching it!!

Like Liam Neeson with Taken I'd say is one. Or Chris Evans with Captain America.

What else?

I have a question to the cineast on this forum.

I just watched Conan the Barbarian(2011) and then the original (1982). Allso I watched Dead space(1991)[Allthough not all], then some part of the original Forbidden World (1982) [Witch is all the 2 originals to ALIEN imo btw]

What do YOU think is the best way to watch a movie, remake or original first?

The obvious answer would be Alien 3 or something clever like Alien and a third, but that would confuse people into thinking it was a remake of Alien 3 when it seems like it's very much going to be its own thing from the sounds of it. So what should it be called?

I loved the way in which Shep's career progressed almost through serendipity. However, that awkward bit about underage kids? Hmn. What does anyone else think?

Sad to say that the only thing I can recall, is that they are a group of insect type aliens living on Earth, in human form. And the youngest lad spots two flys or insects of some type doing the nasty. He then picks them up and takes them to the bathroom to relieve himself. Bit vague but all I have

I've been watching my way through the imdb top 250 and i'm up to Heat (1995) but it's a struggle. Big name cast, storyline is pretty cool, but the directing and the performances in this are just making me cringe. Why is this a classic? What am I missing guys?

Let me explain without spoiling any of the plot:

The first scene of the first movie, we see Frankenstein racing. Frankenstein is just a mask. We don't necessary find out his indentity.

Now, I was thinking how to word this without spoiling...

• In the first movie happens this and this.


• In the second movie there is a plot that explain what happen so this and this could happen in the first movie, in other words it's a prequel. A prequel with its own thrilling story, just like the first movie, thrilling and enjoyable to watch.


• Well, the third movie is a little more complicated. The plot doesn't necessary continue from the second movie but you sure do know it happens after the second movie and before the first movie. The plot is thrilling and enjoyable to watch.

Towards the end of the third movie, we see who is setup to be Frankenstein. Listen here now, his character is not who we want Frankenstein to be. Frankenstein is someone you love, someone you wanna cheer for, that guy by the end of the third movie who is setup to be Frankenstein is not 'our' guy.

This is why I ask, who is the Frankenstein in the first scene of the first Death Race Movie?

You might want to consider watching the trilogy, because the way I worded this (spoiler-free) makes next to no sense if you know nothing about the movie(s)

For me, it was at the midnight showing in 2011 for Harry Potter/Deathly Hallows Part 2, at the King's Cross scene when Harry asks "what is it?" An audience member shouted, "Abortion!!" Everyone laughed...and cringed a little. A few months later I walked by people holding dead fetuses signs at Planned Parenthood and they asked me, "Do you know what this is?" I replied, "Part of Lord Voldemort's soul?"

My girlfriend and I bought tickets for a movie a half an hour in advance for a movie off fandago. By the time the movie started we still did not get the confirmation email and had to buy the tickets again. We tried calling many times and it would not go through. I tried emailing them with no response twice now. We even were on wait for an hour once while watching a tv show. Needless to say I am beyond frustrated with this company. While I know its just 2 movie tickets I still can not believe they get away with this.

I guess (?) this could be considered a spoiler so don't read on if you don't want to be spoiled for Non-Stop (but honestly, who cares, the movie isn't good anyway).

In the final shot of the movie, Liam Neeson smiles at Julianne Moore and the whole time I kept thinking, what's up with his face? I couldn't explain it, it just looked weird. Not the usual Liam Neeson face. So I go online looking for discussions about it, and I found this on the imdb message boards for the movie:

Neeson had a stroke in the final scene

Is this true?? Seems like crap to me, but, his face did look very weird. And imdb even has it listed as the #1 fact on their trivia page for this movie.

Anyone seen the movie, and/or know what I'm talking about?

And what, who, how would they have changed it?

Hey /r/movies, maybe not your standard /r/movies post, but going to have a movienight with some friends (16-19 years old) and looking for some tips on good movies that we can watch, we already have Oblivion and American sniper, so which would you advice :)

Thanks in advance,

In the scene where Malcolm and his gang are told to flee the Ape home after Ceasar is shot and Koba burns it down, it has all 5 of them, minus Carver. It was Malcom, his girlfriend and son and the two others who were with them at the gas station. When they are being chased by the apes only Malcolm, his girlfriend and son are shown hiding and the other two have just disappeared. They never show up for the remainder of the movie and it really bugs. Is this just a plot hole of the film or were they killed by the apes? Please help answer it as it is bugging me.

If it's happening or not

Just wanted to share this just in case if there are lot if people who didn't know this. Hulu gets lot of hate but for me the Criterion collection alone makes it better than Netflix (which I like and subscribe also). All else is just bonus.

was not that good. I've heard great things about this film for the past year. I really wanted to like it but..nah. The actress who played the mom was phenomenal, though.

I just heard about Blade Runner 2. I really hate this; I think they should just leave it as a standalone piece with its delightful ambiguity. I understand it's a commercial rather than artistic decision, and the studio are entitled to do as they wish, but I have no interest in seeing a sequel to Blade Runner.

So what sequel is the one you did not want to see, yet they made it anyway? And what sequel do you dread appearing from the Hollywood recycling machine?

Looking for a fairly active place with friendly, unpretentious folk who are just as happy discussing Tarantino as they are getting into the nitty-gritty of Bela Tarr. Does such a place exist?

*These may be the same exact lines for some people.

I heard about the movie "Predestination" on this subreddit recently and was intrigued, so I went to watch it, and about 30 minutes in I realized it seemed very familiar. After some googling I found this, which was exactly what I looking for and what was causing my déjà vu. Its a 2008 creepypasta from 4chan that is the exact same plot as this movie. I just felt like this was interesting and needed to be pointed out for anyone who has seen the movie, read the story, or both.

Like most horror flicks nowadays - horrible. And there's nothing like a proper horror film. The Conjuring was quite nice, for example (a rarity). However, Annabelle was a real piece of shit. Pardon my language but it was a tremendous disappointment. The acting was terrible, the doll was not scary, nothing was scary. The cinematography in general was mediocre at its best.

Many pirate says that piracy is service problem. So I am just wondering is it true or would you still keep pirating even after DRM-free cheap first day releases?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the newer timeless movies. Can you help me compile a list? I feel like movies like Boyhood, 12 years a slave are not...

In fact it's awful. As a kid I though I liked it but I went back and rewatched it the other day and could barely finish it. It's pretty sexist, Selina Kyle is presented as pathetic because she doesn't have a husband then she turns into Catwoman and the running gag is that she makes all the men horny. The whole movie is full of pervy "jokes" that are just painful and out of place. Obviously Burton wanted to do the joker again instead of penguin, the movie is full of leftover clown props and imagery (I mean why on earth is the Penguin running the "Clown Gang?"). Half the movie focuses on Walken's villian who doesn't even do anything except for throwing Selina Kyle out a window at the beginning. The plot makes no sense, why does the penguin need to be mayor in the first place? Why would Max Shrek (Walken) even want the Penguin as mayor? And then they just disregard that whole thread like, "nevermind we'll just keep him as a regular villian." The penguin got the blueprint to the batmobile? How? The dialogue is straight cornball. All his henchmen sumersault everywhere they go, because they're clowns I guess. It has that overbearing choral music that Burton uses in all his films. Every scene was over the top stylized with no substance. In fact, it made me rethink all of Tim Burton's movies (Edward, and Nightmare are safe, not sure about the rest). There's roughly a pun a minute. The very first guy that batman fights gets set on fire (looks like he died to me, NOT very batman-like). When Batman reveals his identity he tears his mask in half like it's made of play-do. The whole thing left me feeling a little queasy. I rewatched the first Batman too, but I thought it had a good balance of dramatic and cheesy, not the case here. Anyway... felt like going on a little rant about it. Oh yeah, and there's an attempted rape scene.

I'm not talking so much about a film where all the dialogue is so hilariously bad it's quotable, I'm talking about that really shitty film that has one stand-out line that you genuinely think is genius and would love to quote if it weren't for the source.

My personal example of this is Catherine Keener, whose character in Being John Malkovich I found to be so incredibly grating that I got to the point where I'm instinctively inclined to dislike her whenever she pops up. Completely unfounded, I realize. I suppose the flip side of this speaks to just how well the actress/actor played the part in question.

It's an interesting phenomenon. There was a great Op-Ed piece in the NY Times back in 2013, by Anna Gunn, talking about how many Breaking Bad fans hated Skyler White so much (for not siding with Walt, the show's protagonist) that the feelings contempt for the character were actually felt by her real world persona.

I was listening to Indigo Dream by Zero Cult today and the bass made me want to hear Come To Me again.

I loved that track back in the 80s when I first saw Fright Night. It was so, so integral to the film for me. I didn't hear it for years or never knew where to get it but with the coming of the internet one day I just thought "I'll search for it".

Lo and behold it's all over YouTube, there are covers of it on Spotify and YouTube now. People clearly search for it as its commented on all the time, with praise.

Is it just me or did this track just hit the spot? It's such a minor track and not something that could ever be in the charts. It has no vocals for a start, and it's not the theme music or title track or anything. For Fright Night 2 they revamped it with singing, but it's not as good. And of course it's completely missing from the awful remake.

But yeah, Come To Me by Brad Fiedel. It'll always evoke something for me.

I am part of a theatre group and the only one in the group pursuing filmmaking as a career. We have decided to start film screenings for the group. Since its my department, I will be planning the whole thing.

The group members are not much acquainted with world cinema. I want to start out with something entertaining 'cause the last thing I want to do is introduce my sessions as boring.

Also, what do you people suggest should me my approach to the whole thing. How to plan, which movies to choose etc.

I am open to questions.

Obvious Potential Spoilers. I can't stand the traditional happy American endings. I want to find films where the bad guys end up winning (or at least not losing).

I just can't see the point. There were no sequences where he was young and the makeup must have been a chore. Why not just hire an older actor?

Just finished watching the film Munich by Steven Spielberg. I was blown away by how tense this film was. What are your thoughts?

While John Cusack is skiing, a guy walks past him talking on a cell phone and says "I want my two dollars" -- like the kid in Better Off Dead.

Then, later on when his friends ask why he isn't going to break up with his girlfriend, he says, "It's not that I'm not gonna do it, I just haven't done it yet. There's a big difference." -- a reference to his scene with Jack Black in High Fidelity where they debate whether not having done something "yet" means that you're planning to do it.

So that made me think that there must be a lot more references to old John Cusack movies in there. Anybody spot any others?

Hi guys, I have to do a college presentation were I analyze a short movie clip and discuss the hidden meanings throughout and there impact. For example, why did the director have this or that in the shot, what impact do they have? What is there purpose for being there? Why is the actor interacting with this or that? I was wondering if anyone knew of a short but interesting clip with enough to analyze? A clip to keep the classes attention. Thanks guys!

It is on netflix and is a foreign film but it is in English and while just a bit silly it has a little bit of everything you want in a B movie. Its on HULU, Google Play, Amazon prime. Netflix DVD

But dont take my word for it

I won a contest according me VIP access to an international fan event for Blomkamp's new film CHAPPIE taking place tomorrow (Friday 27th) in Berlin, Germany. Director Neil Blomkamp and stars Sigourney Weaver, Hugh Jackman and Dev Patel will be in attendance to present excerpts from the film and answer fan questions.

With all the recent hype about the 'Alien' sequel, I thought it would be a great opportunity to ask Blomkamp and/or Weaver a question about the film. What do you really want to know?

People of any age who have been in small roles in big movies, big roles in small movies, who you think/hope we'll see a lot more of in the coming years?

So in 2011 Lionsgate mentioned they were interested in doing a new cube film. I'm a massive fan of the original, even of the sequels. Really wish they'd get the ball rolling on it.

I feel like he's making a pretty bold claim with this. He's saying that the last two movies are vastly inferior to the two classics, and we should pretend they never happened. But it's a bold claim because he more or less promises his sequel will be a worthy successor.

The first two are classics for a reason. They were both groundbreaking for different reasons. Will his be? What can he do with the premise that won't have been seen before? I certainly have no idea.

I have only seen half of district 9. Wasn't my personal cup of tea. It kind of novel to see a movie doing different things though. That's all I know about blomkamp, his breakout was not your run of the mill Hollywood crap. I haven't seen Elysium.

I guess I'm kind of optimistic he could do something great. I don't know what he could do though. Maybe there's one thing the last two movies lacked: fear. Those first two movies were scary, tense experiences. The second was a bit more edge of your seat i guess. The third's theme seemed to be kind of hopeless and depressing. I don't know anyone who ever found it scary. The fourth was kind of cool but barely even resembling the horror roots of the first.

Here's a copy/paste time saver for your comments:

TL;DNR your windbag post, but from what I gleaned of the title...

I use the term "In-Environment" because my searches for what this practice is called yielded no results and I could find no discussions that bestowed any lernin' on me!

Below are links to videos of the opening title/credit sequences, as well as screenshots showing examples.

Desperate Measures (1998) | Screen | Screen |

This is the simplest of the bunch and has the text scrolling along surfaces, matching the perspective of the shot.

Easy A (2010) | Screen | Screen |

Here, the camera moves through the courtyard of a school with the text placed throughout the environment, occasionally being partially obscured by an object (waving flag, actors body).

Panic Room (2002) | Screen | Screen |

The title/credits in this intro are very large objects suspended in the city amongst the buildings.

Thir13en Ghosts (2001) | Screen | Screen |

This sequence shows the credits close to the walls as the camera pans slowly around the room. * Bonus: The back-story is revealed through audio and ever-so-slightly changing decor in the room until we come full circle and see Tony Shalhoub, broken and in destitution, indicated by all of the notices on the wall that was clean when the pan-around starts.

Zombieland (2009) | Screen | Screen |

The delicately suspended text in the sequence is disturbed by persons running through it. It would be neglectful to mention the excellent use of "In-Environment" text to accentuate Jesse Eisenberg's "Rules".

Sleepy Hollow (1999) | Screen | Screen |

Here's the odd one of the bunch. For the majority of the sequence, the text simply materializes, then disperses, with 2 notable exceptions.

In the first screen, you'll notice that Johnny Depp is reflected in the water. Nowhere else in the title/credits sequence is the text given the opportunity to interact with the environment.

The second screen shows an interesting shot where the carriage is being pulled through a beautifully creepy forest in what could be Fall. The letters of the names fall away and drift down, like leaves off the trees.

I segregated this sequence because it seems odd to me that, with these 2 exceptions, the entirety of the title/credit sequence is simple fading in and out of the text. Why do you suppose that is?

I look forward to any further examples of "In-Environment" title/credit sequences, WTF this style of opening is actually called, and perhaps thoughts on the Sleepy Hollow randomness of partially doing it that way.

Movies with sequences like Napoleon Dynamite (2004) Screen and Detention (2011) Screen were omitted. The text appears written/printed on objects in the scene, not as objects themselves.

Just like the title says. What are your top three all-time favorite movies? Why? Do they inspire you? Make you laugh? Make you cry?

I recently watched Clouds of Sils Maria and was blown away. It remedies me a little of Birdman only because it's about a play within the movie and about an actor regaining some esteem by doing said play. Also they are similar in that there is some very meta parts. Other than that, they are very different films. Despite being so distinct I still found myself comparing certain aspects and concluded that I didn't like Birdman, and I love Sils Maria. Kristin Stewart is fantastic, her winning a Caesar award this year was a big reason why I watched it. Also I have been a fan of Olivier Assayas since Demonlover, so maybe that contributes to my affinity for his most recent work. I was surprised that is didn't get Oscar nominations, but realized it must not have played in LA in time for the awards. Anyway I have yet to find quality discussion of this film so if you've seen it, I'd love to hear what you think.

I just familiarized myself with the theory of the whole movie being a dream and there is something I don't understand about that theory:

If everything we see in the movie is just a dream why doesn't Mal appear in it the same way she does in other dreams against Copper's will and regardless of who's dreaming? Doesn't that indicate that Copper is right about when he is dreaming and when he is not?

But in all seriousness, I loved this channel. I'm a big fan of bad movies, and this channel really meet my needs, 24 hours, non stop!

Syfy channel, I love you.

Hey,

I'm looking for something that can play both blu ray and dvd (I'd settle for dvd though), not need absolute outer space darkness to be seen, and is affordable. Any suggestions?

Hi guys!

I'm a monster movie kinda girl, but I'm very specific about my monsters.... So I'm looking for something like the two suggestions in my title, something with found footage or similar would be great.

Think along the lines of Super 8, Pacific Rim, Godzilla etc. I'd like it better if there was no romantic sub plot, but eh it's hollywood I'll take what I can get. Not so keen on stuff like The Thing.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations along the same lines as The Signal, that would be awesome! Thanks guys ( ˘ ³˘)

Please share.

I just decided to re-watch the trilogy and just realised there is an extended cut. Fellowship of the Ring is freaking 228 minutes long!! However Ive made the experience that sometimes the original cut is way better in terms of pacing and stuff. So how would you rate the extended cut compared to original?

I am not sure if this is the subreddit i was looking for. I apologize if i am wrong!

I am looking for a movie where a girl somehow comes into a family and destroys it... where this girl and the man are the main characters, the girl is not just the third wheel... Probably i am also looking for movies about love between an older man and much younger girl or woman. i prefer a movie shot after 2005.

I tried rotten tomatoes with the movie "Breathe in" (they had a section where they compare movies on rating and topic) but i don't seem to find this section any more. tried google too , also imdb ... Best wishes to you all : )

What do you think are the most iconic opening or closing shots in movie history (or just your plain old favourite)? Please include screencaps.

Holy shit.

Now, I only have limited amount of information. But here it goes: in the movie a young lady recalls a game to a man that she used to play with her dad. It goes along the lines of, if i was feeling down I'd say blue frog, if I was happy I'd say red frog and if I was just okay I'd say i was just a frog. They might be the wrong colours i just overheard it somewhere lately, I have a feeling the movie is new-ish. Thanks guys.

Neil fell short this year, with the best part being at the very beginning with that opening number. I think we can all agree on that. But now that things have calmed down a little, who do you think should host the Oscars next year?

When Fletcher is trying to get Neiman to join his band. His hidden motivation can be boiled down to. If he doesn't want to be famous, then I'll make him infamous

Just a cute little parallel between his two most famous roles. Both sadistic, yet still charming in a way.

These questions are addressed to those who are more knowledgeable regarding the Oscars. So without further ado:

1. 
   

   Can an actor/actress be nominated for both leading role and supporting role at the same time? For example they have a double role in the same movie or leading role in a movie and a supporting role in another movie.

   
   


2. 
   

   Taking the second premise. Can an actor be nominated for leading role for multiple movies( could an actor be nominated for five different roles-maximum amount-at the same time)? And taking things to the extreme(ly fun) can an actor be nominated for all ten roles both leading and supporting at the same time (assuming obviously that he has played in enough movies released in the same year)?

   
   

I know that these are highly hypothetical situations but I want to know if they are at all possible. Shower thoughts I guess. Obligatory: English is not my native language and thank you very much!!!

Often I see people asking for different recommendations for online videos that discuss movies are something similar, extremely often. Can we just one and for all post a ton of links and then in the future redirect people here? I think that this may be the best method to move on and introduce people to new sources of info.

It might be out internationally but I didn't want to provide any false info! Enjoy fellow film fans!

and it was incredible. One of the best movies of its genre. The acting was excellent and the story was simple yet kept you drawn in the entire time and that scene at the end was fantastic, it sucks to hear this movie didn't get more attention. I give it an 8.5/10. Would watch again. Oh and its on netflix

Here is the movie: http://ift.tt/1ArtQxR

This was announced minutes ago by MrSkin on The Howard Stern Show.

The recording, or some news article should be up later today about it, but this is all the 'official' stuff i could find about it.
