Brisby said:Trollhunter - An independent foreign film from Norway about a group of college students doing a documentary (yes, it's one of THOSE films...mockumentary or whatever it's called) about a man they believe is a bear poacher. He actually works for a secret organization that deals in "troll management." He exterminates trolls that get too close to civilization or cause problems and then covers it up. I guess he gets bored and lonely at his job so eventually he lets the kids tag along and film what he does.
I'm not gonna lie, the movie concept is totally ridiculous, but if you can get over it, it's really not that bad. It's isn't scary even though it's labeled as a horror film and the trailer below leads you to believe that the movie has way more action than it actually does -it's pretty slow in the beginning. Also, apparently trolls really hate Christians and you better not say Jesus around them because it makes them go crazy. lol
Would I recommend it to everyone? Probably not, but if you like these sorts of films, then definitely yes...AND it's on Netflix instant watch right now so if you're bored some night, give it a look.

I wouldn't say I love the "mockumentary" style movies but I thought that it seemed interesting, would you still recommend it as a watch (I'm very open when it comes to movies)
Brisby said:Watch it for it's uniqueness, and it's still a fun movie. I liked it but I tend to like the weirder stuff. :)
Dyer Makn said:That's definitely something I like to see in movies though, hopefully I'll really like it.
Brisby said:Have you seen Noroi: The Curse? It's a Japanese mockumentary/horror and I really enjoyed that one as well. You should see it if you haven't already. :)
Dyer Makn said:I looked it up and no I haven't even heard of it, but I'm not much a fan of the horror genre, the movie has to be really story oriented and not "scary" (not like the movies that the camera turns to a scary looking face with a high pitched music cue, that does nothing for me.)for lack of a better word. Also the fact that horror movies are usually accompanied by huge plot holes and terrible actors keeps me away too. :p
To help explain that, one of my favorite movies is 28 days later.
Brisby said:Oh no, Noroi isn't that kind of horror movie. It's very story orientated, very little gore. I would say it's more of a thriller because it relies more on the element of suspense and builds up. It's a long movie but it's very good.
I own 28 Days Later and love it. Have you seen REC? Zombies and mockumentary. lol (Well, according to the sequel they weren't actually zombies but I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the second movie because it sucked).
Inception (Christopher Nolan, 2010) ***½
The action is great, the acting is solid, and the concept is very cool. My only gripe is that the film doesn't really establish the rules of the universe, so it has nothing to really adhere by, and I'm not sure I fully understand all of it.
laphamking said:They do establish the rules, its just that there seem to be so few rules established that it brings up more questions. For instance,It's minor, but it technically is a rule, and there are others like that. Like most Nolan films, it gets better on multiple viewings.Spoiler:the first time DiCaprio takes Ellen Page's character into the dream world, he explains to her that she can't mess with the world too much, otherwise the subconscious will become aggressive.
TRF said:Establishing the rules is not just about telling the audience what they are, but actually following them, which I don't think Inception did a good job of.
Spoiler:What confuses me is that when Saito gets shot, they tell him that if he dies in the dream, then he'll be stuck in limbo. Later in the film, Ellen Page and DiCaprio go to limbo, and they kill themselves to get out. Why is getting killed a big deal if you can just kill yourself in limbo to escape?
