TNL Movie Club - Ravenous

[BerringerX]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129332/

A soldier in the Mexican-American war in 1847 is promoted to captain for his perceived bravery but soon transferred to a remote outpost in the Sierra Nevadas when the cowardly truth becomes evident. The outpost's keepers seem on the brink of madness in their own ways, and what passes for their tranquil is shattered by the intrusion of the lone survivor of an ill-fated expedition that ended in murder and cannibalism.

While this may not be as revered as the choices just before it, Ravenous is still a great film, at least in my opinion. From the performances, to the dark humor, to the bizzare yet oddly-fitting score, it's great. Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle are good in their roles as Boys and Colqhoun respectively. I hope you enjoy it!

David Arquette still works?

[BerringerX]

Not much since this.

Which is a good thing, if you ask me.

[Doc Holliday]

Hey numb nuts! A frontier cannibal movie filled with Pompeys! How come you never told me of this?!? We're going to have to watch this... soon.

[BerringerX]

No joke? I thought you'd seen it. I just gotta get my copy back from Joe Fang, and we'll watch it up good.

This movie is DOPE. It's been years since I've seen it, I should watch it again. Watch this flick if you haven't seen it yet!

I guess I'm in the minority. I saw it and though I didn't hate, it wasn't anything that great.

I love this film.

Hey Berringer, couldn't you talk about a movie with fluffy bunnies and kitties for once?

[BerringerX]

That wouldn't be much fun, now would it?
