I can't be the only one who thinks Ben Kingsley badly overacted ("YES! YES! YES!"). There's great overacting, but this isn't it.

more movies i didn't vote for but like a lot: audition, the host. i love how long audition takes to really build up to full-crazy level. if the whole movie was like the last 30-45 minutes, it would be too much. (it still is too much, but in a good way.)

I've never actually seen the full version of DUMPLINGS!. The short in Three Extremes is great though. Way more entertaining than the other two (and Audition).

d u m p l i n g's was easily the best part of three extremes for sure

woah
park's short there was the moment the korean "we can't stick to one emotional note for more than 30 seconds" thing started to bug me
Okay this ALL CAPS plus ! is hilarious.
DUMPLINGS!! is better than Audition just cuz of that!
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:05 (sixteen years ago)
dump-LINGS!
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:06 (sixteen years ago)
HOW DID IT DO THAT?
I don't remember Park's short except that it felt very Clive Barker-y. And Miike's was just a dull ghost thing, right?

Never knew the Host existed but that picture and the lolwesanderson story made me add it to my lovefilm list.

I don't know if The Host qualifies as horror, because it wasn't gory at all, but it was genuinely thrilling, I thought. It had such enthusiastic pacing, hurtling from one scene to the next. I loved the slob hero at the center of it all, too, and the way you didn't really get more than a few glimpses of the monster for what seemed like half the movie
― Dan S, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:10 (sixteen years ago)
the host is a continual "american cgi monster types: yr doin it wrong" reminder.

Nice to see Bong Joon-Ho get 2 films in here, probably too much to expect that Joint Security Area will make it too.

ah never got around to seeing the Host - must rectify

The Host is everything Cloverfield wanted to be, but failed. Tho the broad comedy in The Host was a bit o_O
― DavidM, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:11 (sixteen years ago)
I actually voted for 4 Bong Joon-Ho movies.
96 people voted alex
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:12 (sixteen years ago)
people who like amelie
anything goes
Which is retrospect seems kind of crazy.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:12 (sixteen years ago)
man with these ancient quotes, now text-subs, and general pissy grievance vibe, this is turning out to be like a distillation of ilx in one place.
― goole, Friday, 5 February 2010 22:12 (sixteen years ago)
memories of murder definitely would have made my top twenty if i'd seen it before i voted

I couldn't make it past the tongue scene in Ichii, I've never been brave enough to try Miike again.

sexy beast is an amazing movie and im proud to say it was in my top 10 - one of the best and most stylistically controlled debut films of the decade - glazer is an incredible craftsman - birth is amazing too - yall are fools and dismissing it as a "gangster film" is a substitute for actual thinking

The Host is everything Cloverfield wanted to be, but failed.
I don't know if that's completely true - but The Host was great, and Cloverfield was pretty craptacular.

Wait till Kill Bill if you want pissy grievances (from me)

cloverfield was great hope it places

s1ocki I'm usually on board with yr film reviews but I guess I was missing something when I watched SB
― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:15 (sixteen years ago)
the host and cloverfield aren't really similar besides the fact they both have monsters. and saying that cloverfield "wanted to be" the host ignores that their aims are about 100% different. both great tho

i think it is really fantastic storytelling.
sexy beast was in the top 20 for me

birth IS amazing; I wonder if it has a chance of charting? doubtful
