LOVE ME IF YOU DARE (aka JEUX D'ENFANTS) trailer!
Hey folks, Harry here... when I have more time - possibly sometime in the next two days - I'll write up a big piece on this film, but for now... let me say this film is WONDERFUL! Originally released in France last September under the name JEUX D'ENFANTS (which translates to CHILD'S PLAY), but was renamed by Paramount Classics, which is releasing it this summer under the name... LOVE ME IF YOU DARE! Essentially - in a nutshell - it is an evil twisted version of AMELIE or GIRL ON THE BRIDGE... two french quirky bizarre romantic modern films that just swept my heart away. This one does as well, but in more of a black comedy sort of way. I came home and instantly searched to find out more... IMDB has some reviews of it that are all over the place, but man... this thing was great. It's about two kids - a boy and a girl that grow up playing a wicked dare game - that they continue through their college years and into their mid-30's... Each progression of the game becomes... well more adult, dangerous, corrupt and wickedly delicious. It is down with the whimsy of the other two French Romantic Comedies I mention here... and I haven't been able to sleep tonight without letting you folks know a little something about it. Here's the trailer and the website. Enjoy...

a coen brothers remake would be the ticket though. they would cut out all the sentimental sugary crap that me thinks inhabits the 3rd act. miller's crossing blows my mind everytime i watch it.

SPOILERS!!!!
This isn't 'amelie part 2' the trailer is very misleading.
At the end of the film, the two main protagonists kill themselves. That's right, there's a suicide at the end! and there's then a sequence in which we see them being happy, living a normal life, having kids, marrying. All the things they couldn't do in real life. -
Speaking of twisted French romantic comedies He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not is something that is also of high quality. It starts out as any typical romantic comedy would but then it switches perspective and you see a whole different twisted side to it. I highly recommend it if you a fan of French film. Also while on the subject of French movies I've seen Haute Tension at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago, while it had it's flaws, was quite an intense film. If you pay attention the ending isn't shocking but still good. The visual flair of the film is what really drives it considering that there is little to no dialouge.

Yes Dawn of the Dead looks killer, but post your shit on the Dawn of the Dead link. If you don't care about French films then you're an ignorant bastard because not every French film is the same. Plus you have no business shiting on it unless you've seen every fucking French film in existence...or at the very least a wide range of films. It's like someone saying American films suck because they saw Gigli or both Tomb Raiders. Take your biased bigoted opinion elsewhere.

ok, you've tempted me with the dark side of off topic discussion. I don't think that there was too much chaos. How do you you think the general public would react to such a situation in the early stages? I think they got it pretty close to the mark, but we'll never know until it's too late and an army of the dead rise to destroy us all!!! The man who didn't trust his neighbor, what would you think if you saw them entirely covered in blood and hysterical? Back up and get run over by an ambulance of course!?! Is there any other reasonable reaction, I think not. Plus the ambulance most likely had a member of hell's demon surplus ripping the driver to shreds with it's hungry mouth and clawing hands. The car crashing into the gas station could of had a similar situation as the ambulance. But then again this is all speculation and trivial so I suggest that when you go see it let it go and just get sucked into the gory fun and scary thrills. Don't let trivial shit detract even a little bit from this film, I know I won't.

I was just saying that because there are plenty of forums around here for DotD. Didn't mean to be the forum Nazi or anything I just get a little touchy about people who automatically catagorize people and things. To me that's just lazy and uneducated, either that or it's another case of someone piling onto the bandwagon of Freedom Fries and Freedom doors...*shudder* This country just keeps getting more backwards,close minded, and conservative then it ever was before. Not that being conservative itself is a bad thing it's just that when it's affecting someone other then yourself then you need to quit. Sorry for that little tangent, wasn't directed at anyone in particular, more of a rant of frustration than anything else. By the way did I mention how much I want to see Love Me if you Dare? Because I really do!

"why talk about French movies when we can discuss DOTD?"
by skyway moaters
Because we 'want' to maybe? Heaven forbid we should ever be interested in anything more challenging or farther afield than a remake of a 70ies zombie flick, (pretty decent satire that original BTW). Geeze, broaden your horizons man, you've nothing to loose and everything to gain; the DOD's will still get made and you can still go see them mmkay? *** Hey Harry! While "Childs Play" is the correct "idiomatic" translation, a more literal one is: "Games of Children", which maybe seems more apropos(?).

I saw this flick at the Toronto Film Festival.
Its AWESOME! A must see. And its by a first time director. Very slick, quirky and fun.

FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT MOVIE, DAWN OF THE DEAD IS GONNA ROCK!
by dwayne benzy
Who gives a fuck about this piece of French shit? Not me, I'm too psyched for DAWN OF THE DEAD? Did you see that 10-minute preview? It was OFF THE FUCKING HIZZLE. Mass hysteria, violent zombie attacks, blood spraying everywhere, people getting chewed up and killed - now THAT'S a fucking movie. I want a blood-soaked orgy of violence and death, and that's what I'm going to get on Friday at the multiplex. If you're not there also, then you're a fucking schmo.
