A homeless man with a shotgun. Finally came out, and I finally watched it.
Sky, you definitely have to watch it, ten out of ten.

A hardcore trash movie. In my opinion, it's nothing special, but the film is still not bad (for its genre).

I stumbled upon the film "Don't Have a Hundred Rubles..." on TVC and enjoyed it. The film is quite naive, but that doesn't make it any worse. I'll say that when you watch such films, where a girl sings and passing motorists stop to listen and then happily give up their gasoline, and so on, you understand that such a thing probably couldn't have happened, but people believed that it could! And that is also an indicator of that time. A good film, positive.
P.S. At 11:50, there will also be a good film, "The Weather is Fine on Deribasovskaya Street..." I watched it once too, I recommend it if anyone hasn't seen it.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil
Tucker & Dale vs Evil

Why translate movie titles like that? I don't understand.
Well, the movie itself is just okay, not very funny.

Pulp Fiction
I've only seen excerpts on TV before, but now I decided to watch it in full. I liked the movie; it's easy to watch and doesn't strain you.

I really enjoyed the existential thriller-detective-sci-fi-drama "Stay" with Ewan McGregor.
It's a beautiful film. Absolutely ambiguous, a bit confusing, but very beautiful. I recommend it!

A couple of days ago, my brother and I watched the movie Push, which, for some reason, was translated into Russian as Fifth Dimension. It's a typical, unremarkable American film. It's not a taxing watch, but it's boring, and the subsequent events in the plot were predictable. Only two funny guys stood out:

Over the past two days, I watched two cartoons. Anime - Even the Devil Can Cry and Cars 2. Even the Devil Can Cry is a funny and very interesting anime (as far as I know) based on the game Devil May Cry (DMC). It tells about a great demon hunter - Dante, the son of the demon Sparda and a woman whose name I don't know. There are quite a few funny moments, but there is also some nonsense - Dante kills all the demon lords in two or three hits. He even killed their lord without any problems. Nevertheless, the numerous jokes and Dante's debts give the viewer something to laugh about. Cars 2 - Like the first part, it tells about racing. But compared to the first, the second presents us with a spy scandal related to oil at the center of the races. I won't spoil the fun for those who are interested by telling them the story.

Live Cargo
I happened to see it on TV, and I became interested in how it would end, so I decided to watch it to the end, and I didn't regret it; it's quite an interesting movie. In the end, everything turned out relatively well, but in real life, that doesn't happen very often.

I watched your movie. Maximum gore, minimum meaning. It's only for gore fans.

One of the best films in the psychological thriller genre – impeccably and interestingly conceived. It should be watched exclusively from the first part to the last; otherwise, it's just garbage. By the way, there is no gore at all. Apparently, when you turned on the film, you were expecting something completely different from what it actually is, and that's what you saw... it's not a horror film; it's exclusively a psychological film.

P.S. I didn't write about comedies because I would prefer any film that is twice as good to the best comedies (maximum 7 points), and out of the huge number of horrors (maximum 5-6 points), I only liked: Mirrors (no less than 8) and Silent Hill (no less than 7).

Saw
By the way, the dismembered body is completely absent.

Psychological thriller:
1. The Beginning.
7. Fight Club (slightly lower ranked (8 points), but also very good)

Troy (if you haven't watched it, you haven't lived)

Extremely interesting.

I was confused when reading the post by Mr. Alexdoublesmile. The categorization by genre and the selection of films are appalling.

Psychological thriller:
7. Fight Club (slightly lower in rank (8 points), but still very good)

With a lot of stretching, you can try to fit it in. But overall, it's just facepalm-worthy.

Historical, war:
5. King Arthur (lower in rank, but also a very good film)

Excuse me, are you referring to this when you say historical film?

Historical, war:
14. 300 Spartans
Bastards

Adventure
6. V for Vendetta

OMG! A fun adventure. Not Indiana Jones, not Star Wars. Right, they're probably from a different genre. However, the next phrase put an end to it:

the best comedies (maximum 7 points)

Watch some normal movies, and then post your lists.

P.S.

1. Troy (if you haven't watched it, you haven't lived)

You're talking to a dead person. I couldn't finish watching it; I fell asleep in the first third of the film.

3. Sherlock Holmes (2009)

What is he doing here? And where is the real Sherlock Holmes, the one who made the English queen swoon?

Avatar

I'll add: an avatar, but a different one.

This isn't Sherlock Holmes; it's just utter garbage. Always yours, K.O.

Excellent post. No need for any negativity.

Watched Transformers 3 in the cinema. Complete garbage. Only the special effects and sound deserve attention. It's hard to evaluate the cinematography due to its absence... The script should be thrown away... Actors like Malkovich and Turturro (I've always admired their talent) probably just appeared there out of desperation. The rest of the actors are disposable or from TV series...

Psychological thriller:
2. Saw 1-7 (a brilliantly crafted film... you absolutely must watch all 7 parts, from 1 to 7)

The plot is indeed well-developed across 7 parts, without causing much face-palming, but overall, all the parts after the first one are just milking the audience for money. The amount of blood and gore increases with each film, as does the complexity of the traps, which become quite elaborate and unrealistic by the fifth part. The first part was made, let's say, "for art's sake," and they didn't even want to release it initially; it was like an arthouse film. But suddenly, people liked it, and it all started... So, for those who want to get acquainted with "Saw," I would recommend only the first one, at most the first three. The rest is for fans of elaborate contraptions and gore, in my opinion.

Only the special effects and special sounds deserve attention.

Hmm, what else should you expect from Transformers? The entire series is based on this. Bay knows how to blow your mind with well-executed, large-scale action scenes like no other, and that's what people come to his films for. It's strange to expect anything else from his films, especially since this is already the third part of Transformers. It's like watching a drama and then complaining, "There's no action at all, there's nothing to watch!" I'm going to see it in IMAX 3D myself, and I'm sure I'll get exactly what I expect from the film, 100%.
