Need to see something within couple of days![]()
I've never heard of 'Something Within a Couple of Days' is it any good?
It's a movie from 1977. It stars Camille Keaton from I spit on your grave and Edmund Purdom from pieces and absurd. A touching but fierce psychological drama about a girl's fervent desire to get her cherry popped.I've never heard of 'Something Within a Couple of Days' is it any good?

Purdom plays Keaton's father who seeing her suicidal desperation tries to get her something within a couple of days (hence the title).
It was released in NZ titled Daddy's girl. Highly controversial but efficient drama. It was extremely controversial for a scene where the father talks about certain biological functions to his young girl and the girl later on performing those functions albeit not with the father.
Rated an astonishing 8.9 at imdb, it's truly an example of history being kind to something.
Stanley Kubrick called it the best drama since The Graduate.
Francois Truffaut called it the most important film since plan 9 from outer space.
Jack Nicholson reportedly watched this movie many times to get into the right state of mind before shooting for the shining.
The ending is ridiculous.
Spoiler alert: Nothing happens in a couple of days.
Midnight Killer (1986)
An enjoyable murder mystery which rips off key plot points from Argento's classics "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage" and "Tenebre". I did like the shooting style of Lamberto Bava. Very smooth and precise. Some suspense, some gore and some sleaze. Even the dubbing is bearable.
7/10
Cannot post it's picture here because I would get![]()
You watch a lot of movies. I envy you
I quit my job 3 weeks ago. I will be going to college in two weeks. So, I am doing what I like as much as humanly possible in the meanwhile because once I reach college, the post count will drop alarmingly.
Don't you ever go out for a walk or something? I try and watch loads of crap to but it gets to a point where am about to pass out) then I have to literally go out......and when I do go out end up phoning people to go to the cinema

Lads going to the cinema tomorrow not decided what to watch but it's either going to be Gallows (It's a Horror Leathers! you prob checked it out already; has poor reviews online but I generally enjoy them if they manage to scare me in one way or another), Southpaw or Inside-Out not sure which one, If any of you have seen either of them let me know which one was goodCheers

Its not a movie.

No kidding.
No wonder the French liked it.
They wanted to make a sequel 'Something within a Couple (More) Days' but sadly it never came to fruition.
Purdom was up for an Academy Award Nomination for the 1977 film but reportedly, the academy didn't like the bold and daring talk scene and wanted it excised. Purdom himself told them to and I quote : "Shove it up your shiny keisters".
Purdom later on starred in the masterpieces of the macabre, Absurd and Pieces. Pieces especially is a genius work. The scene with Lynda Day George screaming b****** three times in a row reportedly made Ted Bundy, the cold-blooded psychopath genuinely tear up.
Check it out yourself:
I still find it hard to hold back tears after watching this.

Haven't watched the gallows. Will not watch it either. I avoid mainstream horror. It's a shame the Italian industry isn't around anymore. Those guys came up with absolute gems in the 70s and 80s.Don't you ever go out for a walk or something?

Unfortunately I'm not studying film.Are you going to study film, or be in this industry in any way? I hope for the horror fan inside me that this is true.
Have heard Southpaw is a bit of a let down, even with its amazing cast. But I'd give it a chance mainly for Jake.
Inside Out I have heard is the best animated film to come out since Toy Story 3. Will definitely be watching that.

Was really looking forward to SouthPaw too but the reviews aren't that encouraging. Will watch it anyway just for Glyenhall.
You guys should check it out, Jake was brilliant and the movie itself is not so bad. Defo worth a watch in the cinema. The narrative largely revolved around redemption, I enjoyed it.
Would give the movie a 7 out of 10. Not everyone is going to be able to reinvent the wheel when it comes to boxing movies but that's not such a bad idea.
Shah is coming out on the 14th of August, Boxing movie based on Pakistans first Olympic champion in boxing; the trailer looked great watch out for that. And later in the year Rocky 7:Creed.
Yeah Saqs, Inside Out has fantastic reviews all round. I wonder if it's as good as the Lego Movie which was the last animated movie I watched, was very good. Will definetly be checking it out.
Watched Captain America: Winter Soldier.
Loved it. Loved it. Absolutely loved it!![]()
Watched Spy, like most American comedies compromised of shock humor, crude language with teenybop references and any other cliches you can think of. Mccarthy continously being picked for comedy roles just for being the size of a baby whale is baffling too. Stathams character was hilarious though.
Southpaw
First things first. AVOID WATCHING THE TRAILER FOR THIS FILM. I hadnt seen it going in but my friend had and I just watched it myself, what a disgrace. It literally spoils the one and only twist in this film and pretty much gives the entire plot away. Seriously trailers these days are a farce and this is one of the worst offenders. If you have any interest whatsoever avoid it if possible, it ruins the film.
Anyway on to the film itself, there is one twist I didnt see coming about 20 mins in that was surprising, but other than that this film is about as cliche and generic as a boxing film can possibly go.
The former pro forced to retire with injury who's now a trainer? Check
Generic Colombian opponent with no soul? Check
Fighter who loses everything on a path to regain it all? Check.
The film does it well but lets be honest it hardly has an original bone in its body, and if you're sick of this plot line I'd advise you give this a miss because odds are you'll have tuned out after 25 mins.
What IS great in this film is the acting. Gylenhall is fantastic, brilliant actually, turns in what I thought was a top performance and credit also goes to the child actor who surprisingly does rather well. If you're seeing this for the main actor odds are you'll be pleased, he really carries the film IMO.
All in all a bang average plot carried by a great performance from the main lead, and some good supporting characters. Decent overall, but most definitely a generic run of the mill story
7/10
Antman didnt know much about the superhero. But really enjoyed the film very entertaining. 8/10
Yeah it was similar to GOTG in that way. I didnt know much about it but walked out after laughing all the way throughBy far the funniest Marvel movie.
His two "moments" of amazing one-liners basically made this movie for me.
He needs to be given more of these roles. I never knew he had the comedic timing and delivery in him.
Agree with the rating.
Thought the execution of the narrative was very good. It's a shame the undisputed series wasn't released by a high profile company, that was quality. In recent times some of the better boxing movies have been The Fighter and The Million Dollar Baby. Tbh Boxing movies generally are very good, people often say the meat of boxing movies is typically clich/generic but how many movies have there been like that? very few in recent times so its a bid unfair comparing Southpaw to a movie 20-30 years ago. What did make southpaw stand out compared to releases of the past was the boxing itself, very realistic and in touch with the sport in the modern era.
I can imagine the ones who hated the ending of Wayward Pines would have thrown tomatoes at the screen after watching Million Dollar Baby's even darker ending.)
Utni bhi achi nahi hai
As its my semester exam tomorrow i watched 2 movies today which i dont do on a normal day![]()
The interview (2014)
6/10
Franco has done good although it seems over acting at places. Some scenes were hilarious though.
The legend of Hercules(2014)
5.5/10
A different take on Hercules showing him as a mere mortal. Was ok.
Someone recommend me a good movie to watch. Bollywood or Hollywood, no preference to either, really.
No good quality on the internet yet![]()
Murder 2, Let the right one in, Scarface, Table No.21, Haider, The Prestige, Se7en.Someone recommend me a good movie to watch. Bollywood or Hollywood, no preference to either, really.
Tree of Life, almost perfection.
Exodus: Gods and Kings.
Awful.
Really? I thought it was pretentious tripe. Perhaps I shouldn't have watched it on a long haul flight. May give it another viewing some time soon.
The new mission impossible.. Wasn't too bad. Had more of a storyline this time than action.
I am going to watch 12 years a slave tonight. Somebody let me know if i should change my mind.
Does it need more patience to sit through?
25th hour 8/10
A tremendous movie with a beautiful message. Acting and direction were top notch. Despite having a good basics some films don't have good acting performances but this one had excellent acting performances almost from every performer. The movie had an intricate mix of comedy, romance and melancholy. All these feelings go well together to create a unique experience that's why i think some younger viewers might not get entertained as much as I enjoyed this.
Ted 2
Brilliant movie. Has some really funny references and the runtime of 2 hrs literally flies away.
8/10
I really enjoyed it to, the reviews around the net have been a bit too harsh! Could easily watch it again if I wanted.
Comedies are meant to make you laugh. People who generally give bad reviews to comedies are ones for whom the comedy is above or below their sense of humor. Ted 2 was fun all the way for me and thoroughly enjoyable.
Just watched Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf
To be honest, it was better than I expected. (Which really isn't saying much but still..)

What on earth made you watch this?
