His movies are pretty F'ed up but you can't help but get sucked in sometimes. His movies can either be hit or miss with me and usually I don't have the desire to watch it again. Not cause I don't necessarily like it just the nature of it I suppose.


Oh my gawd, don't get me started on Lars Von Trier!! Somehow I've managed to see a fair amount of his work, including that Das Kingdom show from way back forever ago.

He loathes his audience and I find his style to be so tedious, yet... so engrossing. Like a slow motion train wreck you cannot fix your eyes from. Or escape said train wreck's flying debris, for that matter.

The last Lars Von Trier film I saw was Melancholia. Which is strange, because I told myself after I watched Dogville that I would never, ever, ever subject myself to another Lars Von Trier film. Yet there I was one evening, watching Melancholia. It was horrible. But so peculiarly engaging was the cinematography, along with the bizarre story arch and the way in which two of the main characters transposed in their emotional development over the course of the film. I hated it. But liked it. And I hated myself for it.

My husband is a big fan of Lars Von Trier and I think he gets off on watching me squirm or loudly protest whenever he so much as whispers the suggestion of settling in and taking a viewing. There's an art house theater in my city that was showing Nymphomaniac. He wanted to go, I told him to have fun without me. He didn't go. But I know the score though. A few months from now we're going to be bored one night sitting on our couch with nothing to watch, and I will submit once again, to the husband's suggestion "hey let's watch Lars Von Trier... come on, I know you really want to watch Nymphomaniac." Maybe I'm just a sadist. :P

Oddly, I liked Dancer In The Dark (the one Lars Von Trier film my husband didn't really care for).

Sin City 2. Looks fantastic in 3D. Catch it now if you can. Eva Green also proves she's a good actress by convincing us of her evilness whilst being impressively naked for at least 50% of her scenes. In 3D.

I want to see Sin City 2. I liked first one, it was different style and form of storytelling.
The latest movie I saw is Guardians of the Galaxy, freaking awesomely done by Marvel!

I'm a bit skeptical about Sin City 2 because my favorite character, Dwight, isn't played by Clive Owen.

But I'm glad at least one person enjoyed the movie.

Chef (2104)
foodie movie + great ost! one of the greats so far this year for me!

Guardians of the Galaxy
good popcorn movie overall

Ghostsbuster 30th anniversary
I won a theater gift card, so what the hell! I love the graininess of the film transfer and ad-libs form Bill Murray! suprisingly half the theater was full, so the chuckles were all in unison, especially my fave part...

Amazing view into his creative process and much more besides (Blixa is in there, too!).
If you like his work, you'll enjoy this.

I'm interested in checking this out. The critics seemed to enjoy it, indeed.

If I knew that movie is almost 3h long, I would reconsider watching in it movies.
Well, I'm glad I didn't know. I would deny myself great visuals in imax and pretty compelling story (for my money, at least).
Will not tell you anything about the plot out of fear of spoilers. This movie is a cross between Gravity and Contact, in a positive way.
It seems that folks in the movies were quite enchanted with movie, best heard in parts where characters are out in space, where there is no sound (obviously) and you could hear a pin drop, they were that quiet.
It should be said that, out of us four that were watching the movie, two found it enchanting, and two found it quite boring and with little action.
It'll be interesting to hear what you think about it, chemical brothers and sisters.

I want to watch it but I feel like all these movies are similar. A guy goes to outer space to find alien life usually to save planet earth from some sort of calamity, has to leave a emotional family behind, space ship gets lost in space due to technical error, finally he discovers alien life at the end and immediately the screen cuts to Directed by...

^ Furthermore, I think we're all tired of Matthew Mcconaughey. He was certainly fantastic in "True Detective" and perfectly fitted for "Dallas Buyers Club." But outside of the cinema, he's been quite the annoying ass.

I too, still want to see it though.

Nailed it! I say shit like this every time i see a movie trailer, because I start to figure out what the movies about even before i go see it. and when I do, its pretty spot on.

It is most excellent. I'm glad I saw it at the cinema because it has those moments where a big screen with big sound has an impact. I'd say it's a drama in space, much like Gravity and very much character driven so if you're expecting a Michael Bay type of space film you'll be disappointed.

With a little bit more humor and self-mockery, Interestellar might have been a good trash movie.

Interstellar seemed to strive for something big but wasn't quite capable of delivering in my opinion. And it was missing that particular track:



I was hoping for something alike. But the score turned out way too ordinary, even though Zimmer has an arsenal of huge synths at his disposal in his studio which he didn't use.
