Movie review and discussion forum

How about adding a Television and movie forum for discussion on both movies and television. Recommendations on new indie movies or discussing current movies or television programs? Anybody up for it?

Re: Movie review and discussion forum

Movies and tv show discussions should be added to the sci fi/anime section. That doesn't have enough users right now.

Movies are legitimately discussed (and reviewed) in many different forums, as social content and issues.

A dedicated movie/tv page may encourage more movie and television reviews and discussions.

There are not very many indie movie posts or reviews, for instance.

Re: Movie review and discussion forum

I rely on imdb ratings, they usually work for me. I can't remember ever like a movie that was rated by imdb less than a 7. It doesn't work so well on the top-side however, but it works as an elimination rule.

That's normally my elimination rule, but I also look at the arithmetic mean and median. If one or both are above 7 I will be much more willing to watch the film even if the wholistic rating is below 7.

But yeah, I actually do like this forum idea.

yep to that you have to glance at the distribution in case it is one of those movies that gets 1/5th of the negative votes as drive-by zeros!

Re: Movie review and discussion forum

I read the book and can see why the lower rating. If you haven't read the book you're going to be annoyed that the movie just ceased without a satisfactory conclusion, it is designed to be part 1 of whatever. Unlike LOTR the book wasn't written as three semi-satisfying chunks.

Re: Movie review and discussion forum

I read that 1st long review of The Golden Compass. I will definitely rent it!

Wife and I saw The Bucket List tonight
I Am Legend last week

The Bucket List I'd give a 10
I Am Legend I'd give a 6

Might be some time until we get to the Theater now ...

Re: Movie review and discussion forum

Maybe the forum could be Media Review?

I fear too much music discussion choking the Movie discussion.
Or too much game-play discussion choking the Movie discussion.

Unless all three were spun off!

I would say beware mature content, but an inventive story line with an interesting hook.

I would give it a 6.8

(The wife did not know the story line when she picked it!)

EDIT: Can this thread be moved to the Movie Forum . . . Please?

Sounds like a terrific movie! Love the Coen brothers (they have a knack for making oddly off the wall but mesmerizing movies) and Tommy Lee Jones. Will be checking this one out!

If you liked that, you might also like (if you've not seen it yet) "Fargo", also written/directed by the Coens. Super movie.

Fargo makes me think of The Big White rated .... hmm 6.5

It surprised me as entertaining.

(I see Fargo is 8.2)

yep fargo is one of my all time favorite movies and i saw it when it was first released and several times since. Coen brothers went through a bit of an odd patch but they really came back with No Country, although it is blood soaked, I think the body count during the two hours is way over 20..

Now I've got to watch Fargo again, lol....it's so oddly quirky and darkly humorous.

Definitely will be seeing No Country, thanks for mentioning it!

There have been a good amount of movies that have been release No Country for Old Men was one of them. Eastern Promises was another too, which had some outstanding acting, it should be checked out.

Good idea, would encourage more indie film discussion (not much, if any seen now).

Indeed, one of the main reasons I want it. You never hear about those foreign or indie movies that much. Movies like Lucky Miles or Man From Earth.
