Guest AdminGuyX Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I watched a Korean film called "Sector 7" on Netflix last week. It reminded me of Deep Blue Sea a little. What really grabbed me was the art direction and the sets. The female lead was pretty good. Had a lot of CGI in it, but it was used in a way that didn't detract from the film.

Rosella Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is a fun thread! I’ve seen many of the previous suggestions. Lots of great films. I can't remember if I raved about this film or not, but here's a goody: * BENEATH THE DARK * (2010) Mystery, Thriller Written & Directed By Chad Feehan Cast Josh Stewart…………….Paul Jamie-Lynn Sigler………Adrienne Chris Browning…………Frank Angela Featherstone…….Sandy Afemo Omilami………..The Man Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwUKsdGo6ZM NOT RATED Chilling. Riveting. Shocking. I only wanted to see this film in order to see Chris Browning in a bigger role; his part turns out being a large, tasty slice of a dark & twisted pie. Browning’s performance alone makes it a must-see. I got turned onto Josh Stewart after seeing it and have been paying attention to him ever since. The story is compelling, & the performances are strong. There are a lot of great, weird moments & disturbing secrets uncovered along the way. It has an Oh-My-So-Brilliant ending!

sunshine Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Forgot about this one I had just seen recently... Based on true a true story.

I like me some Josh Stewart (from ABC's "No Ordinary Family") - he even made The Collector watchable - that's one for this list, too.

I think you'd enjoy Beneath the Dark. It's really good. In the Bedroom is such a sad film; I really liked it. I watched it without knowing about the storyline. I’m a big fan of both Nick Stahl & William Mapother, but I didn’t care for Mapother’s character because….well, you know why. Cool, thanks Indie! I like me some Josh Stewart (from ABC's "No Ordinary Family") - he even made The Collector watchable - that's one for this list, too. You're welcome, jayesse8! Yeah, I remember seeing Stewart on No Ordinary Family. I only watched the show a couple of times, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosella Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 * MUSIC WITHIN * (2007) Biography, Comedy, Drama Written By Brett McKinney, Mark Andrew Olsen, & Kelly Kennemer Directed By Steven Sawalich Cast Ron Livingston………….Richard Melissa George………….Christine Michael Sheen…………..Art Yul Vazquez…………….Mike Stoltz Rebecca De Mornay…….Richard’s Mom Hector Elizondo…………Dr. Padrow Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM5uXgbg4QM&playnext=1&list=PL58888E75EC012637&feature=results_video Rated R Beautiful. Moving. Inspiring. This film is based on a true story about Richard Pimentel, a man who found his life’s calling after he was deafened by a bomb blast in Vietnam. He then becomes a disability rights activist and a strong advocate for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ron Livingston is superb. While I love many of Livingston’s movies (I could listen to his voice forever), the role of Richard is by far my most favorite. Yeah, I am just that into him. All actors, even many of the best, need to take note of Michael Sheen’s performance of portraying a man with cerebral palsy. You won’t want to take your eyes off of him. Plus, he says many hilarious lines, so you‘ll also want to listen to everything that comes out of his mouth. The movie is the perfect combination of sad & funny. If you watch it, make sure you have a tissue handy. This movie will stay with you for a long time; I can’t stop thinking about it. Music Within is one of those rare magnificent films with a meaning.

Guest AdminGuyX Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Watched a UK flick called "The Veteran" on Netflix. I liked it. It was not a feel good film by any stretch. It was a bleak film. Was a bit of a slow burn at first, and it had some anti-war dialogue that really just stood out, but still a decent thriller with a good ending.

Rosella Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 * BRICK * (2005) Mystery, Neo-noir Thriller Written & Directed By Rian Johnson Cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt…….Brendan Nora Zehetner……………....Laura Noah Fleiss………………....Tugger Matt O’Leary……………......The Brain Noah Segan………………....Dode Meagan Good…………….....Kara Emilie de Ravin…………......Emily Richard Roundtree………....Assistant V.P. Trueman Lukas Haas……………….....The Pin Trailer (NOTE: posted as a viewing option; I saw this movie without watching its trailer, so going into it blind might’ve enhanced my experience) Rated R for violent and drug content Interesting detecitve story. Smart & poetic dialogue. Even funny at times. Colorful characters. Great music. Realistic acting. After watching Looper, I had to see this movie. I was impressed by the style/transitions/quick-cut editing/etc. The ending is a little so-so for me, yet I feel that everything leading up to it stands out enough that I don’t feel as if it’s a waste to watch. It will keep you guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpweber Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've always liked BRICK. It was the first time I had seen Joseph Gordon-Levitt in something where I thought he could carry a film. Now look at him. The guy is good.

Now look at him. The guy is good. Joe is such a multi-talented individual. I don’t think there’s anything he can’t do, which is an expression I literally mean about him. thanks guys(indiechickflick, and jweber) went out hunting for dvds yesterday...found BRICK for 2.99! great little flick! thanks! oh do you remember this one VERY BAD THINGS...had to get it, it's the oringinal the hangover movie(to me) also 2.99. cheers Yay! You’re welcome for the Brick recommendation! I want to say I spent slightly less than $2.99 for it. Yes, I do recall Very Bad Things being a very good movie. Quite a cast too! I remember seeing it mainly because of Jeremy Piven, who was a bit underrated until Entourage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
