Picking a Movie for tonight

[beystr 2.0]

I heard about something that immediately made me think ..man...u need a good movie script writer to make a movie about this...

U know that the whole or a big part of shia islam beleif is the " return of Mahdi "...right..? do u know that we have 3 to perhaps 5 " Mahdi's" in Jail right now..in absolute solitary conditions....and more that I just can't say.....the thing is...these prisoners do have special powers or abilities over a normal human being...otherwise u find crazy lunatics claiming to be him every day around here.....but these people did enough wierd shit when asked to " prove it "...that ended up getting them back in the hole.....I just LOL'd my butt off ....but then thought..wow...this is movie material......These guys ( Mahdi's) apparently still do crazy tricks...if u will...with their captors...to a point can not get anyone to kill them ...cuz they r considered blasphemous anyhow and subject to death anyway.....btw- I would not even say it here if I did not totally trust my source here....

Sorry Kaz....didn't mean to derail ur thread....I do like movies and to me this could be a good one if done right...

A couple of weeks ago I saw Intouchables which is a French movie. It was pretty good and funny. Watch it if you are not the actiuon movie type.

I saw it last night, it brought back a lot of memory, specially my flight with 5 other fellow Iranians from Istanbul to Germany without a visa. My adventure was as breathtaking as the movie.
Bye the way I couldn't remember the regime using kids to put together those shredded papers. I think they used university students (sarbazan arhe emam).

Haven't posted here in ages but I just saw a Documentary which rocked me to my core. Amazing story, incredibly sad and moving. It is called "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father".

This is the beginning of a review I found on the net that gives you an idea of what you're going to expect:



Don't look for anything else though. Don't watch a trailer, don't read about it; just get it and watch it.

Kaz khoda begam chikaret nakone! What a completely f****cked up story!!! This is a case which should have come out in the world media as a bomb at the time it happened. Judging by what big news usually come out, this would have become a bomb! I don't know why it didn't come out. What a motherf*****ing /(&&/%¤& ()&/(&(& (&(&(/ (/&(/&.... b******!!!!!!!! I'm completely messed up man! huuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

It's not for the weak hearted. It's very sad. But it is somewhat heartwarming at the end.

I found someone has actually uploaded it to Youtube. It's worth watching...grab yourself a popcorn.

I'm perhaps having bias but, Seperation ( Nader & Simin) deserves to be in that 1000 best movies list...then again his ( Farhadi's) Shahr e Ziba is also 1/1000 Candidate...

hadn't seen "Two Lovers" with Juaquin Phenix till last night....I liked it..good movie..don't know how old it is...is it the one after which Phenix kind of lost it and tried rapping for awhile?.....

Btw- I really like to see his last one " the Master' supposedly about Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbord...

 

[Natural]

A Seperation is definitley up there. I just didn't put it as I think almost everyone here must have seen it...

Two lovers is actually a great film.. I really loved it..

The Master was so close to being a masterpiece.. Thomas Paul Anderson is one of my all time fav directors.. so i was really looking forward to this..
it has some of the best performances I have seen in a long time..the cinematography was so good I wanted to lick the screen.. the soundtrack was just brilliant.. everything about this film is so captivating... however, It felt like it dragged down towards the end in an unappealing way.

ran,swept away(the original by wertmuller),secretary,last tango in paris.

The other night I saw a Very Harold and Kumar Christmas. Its a "smoke a joint and watch" type of movie. It had some funny parts.
I am a fan of comedies. Any recent comedies worth watching out there?

 

[ferdosi]

I'm not sure if this movie have been mentioned here in the past but I just saw "The Tall Man" on netflix; It was really good. Strongly recommend it.

best years of our lives from 1940s staring dana andrews (I think i said this already) and fred march myrna loy great movie about coming back home after the war (zionist imposed wwii) and readjusting to everything including family members. very touching and that idiots billy wilders masterpiece

razor's edge another 1940 movie staring Tyron Powers and it is about finding yourself...its one of the best movies out there

all Frank Capra's movies like mr smith goes to washington, its a wonderful life, meet john doe (this 1 is a must see) all of them are must see, capra was way ahead of everyone cuz the bad guys in his movies always say we control the news papers/media, we control the banks and we control the govt.
great guy... god bless his soul

I liked seperation myself but I donno how it got an oscar because it related to iranian traditions and culture...I guess that just goes to show how humans are the same and have a lot in common if they put their imposed customes and cultures aside , what i am saying is that our culture and traditions are more like human and not something made for us in holeywod like the americans so you tend to go back to your human roots.

Its cool but the first two are much better. The story has kind of lost its original sense and they tried doing too much with the trilogy.... A good light comedy that I always find funny is blue streak......


For those that have not seen this movie its a great movie about Russian mob in London. It has depth and some great acting. Definitely good to watch......
