Valhalla Rising
Watched it the other day and enjoyed it. Kinda slow but in an artsy way. The scenery, trippy dream scenes, and violence kept me going. Not a bad way to waste some time.

Holy shit I watched this movie this weekend. I loved it. Brutal and savage, but much too arty and slow and plotless for the average viewer.

Watched and liked it.
It has now joined the list of movies that at the end I think, what the fuck was this about. Sorta like Eraserhead, but much more enjoyable.

Didn't like it as much as I hoped, kinda boring. Wasn't awful but lacked much of a plot or point.

I think this may be one of my all time favorite movies.
I was doubtful with my first viewing but with a second I'm almost positive I love it.

Is that the movie about the British inmate who is crazy strong and just plain crazy? If so, I heard that movie was very very good. I need to add that to my queue.Ed Zachary wrote:I've seen it.micbk wrote:Check out the director's movie "Bronson", Ed.Ed Zachary wrote:I think this may be one of my all time favorite movies.

Thanks to netflix I haven't bought a dvd in over a year but I bought this one. Two weeks after I first watched it I was still thinking about it. That doesn't happen too often with new movies.Ed Zachary wrote:I think this may be one of my all time favorite movies.

I thought this movie was, by way of comparison, far superior to "Centurion" or "Arn the Templar"...

You are correct. Arn was good but it was cut up from two movies and Centurion was shit.Dirt McGirt wrote:I thought this movie was, by way of comparison, far superior to "Centurion" or "Arn the Templar"...
