The Holiday! Cheesy chick flick that warms the heart <3 Haha.

Hot Rod. Great movie. Oh gah, so funny.

Brick!

It is so great! I love the juxtaposition of the style and the setting :)

The language is infinitely fascinating, to boot ^_^

Finally saw Grindhouse

Planet Terror was really cheesy but funny...but I guess that's what they aimed for. Lots of disgusting moments.

Deathproof was the best one of the two. Haha Kurt Russel was such an asshole. The ending is pure gold.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Perfect, 10.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Perfect, 10.

This is one awesome fucking movie.

War of the Worlds - Rate: 7/10

Awesome, but not fantastic.

To be honest I don't watch movies or read books really.

books like never movies like rarely

...

Sybil, the 70's version. this movie made me fall in love with sally field. she's so amazing in it.

Juno

Liked it a lot.

Die Hard 4.0

Nothing like man vs jet fighter!

Damn that film was stupid.

I saw the Woodsman which i thought was really good and pretty well done

and Babel which i liked although it was very long but i liked how it jumped from storyline to storyline to keep you interested, i particularly enjoyed the Japaneese sections

Disney's Dinosaur. As strange as it may seem mind you, I have a child's obsession with anything that has to do about dinosaurs (well almost... 'cept Barney (not my type)).

Iron Man. It was good, not great though. Also, this is reply 513, so it is the first reply after 2^9, there will be no first replies after a 2 to the power of an integer value again until the 1025th reply. I wonder if I have typed that in a way that makes sense?

Enchanted - Absolutely loved it only criticism would be not enough songs for my liking

Was watching Deathproof last night. I absolutely fuckin' love that movie.

Let me think, last movie I saw in theaters was Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo (sp?) Bay. Last movie I saw while just relaxing at home was Apocalypto which I actually enjoyed.

Eastern Promises

Not bad, but nothing all that special either.

Ironman ~ awesome movie.

Awesome movie man

Shrooms

Overall found it to be quite a let down. Though at the same time it wasn't as bad as I initially expected it was going to be.

i was just still in amazement with the ending of
Stephen King's "The Mist"
The movie was so great, you'll never knew until you see the ending but would not believe the ending...

Saw the Second Narnia last night. Didn't suck, true to the book.

:) Same here! Saw it. Went to one of those midnight showings -- I think it was the first time that I've done that. Theater was pretty packed. Quite enjoyable. Strong film, well made -- nothing felt superfluous. And yeah, while they added their own elements, it was definitely true to the book. I saw some reviews complaining that it "loses the magic" -- it didn't. Obviously it's not going to be the same feel as the first story, but it's not supposed to be.

One thing I noticed was that many my fellow movie-goers seemed in particular to appreciate some of the more humorous elements of the film, which were generally always pleasant surprises. I also heard quite a few people saying that they enjoyed it more than the first Narnia film.

^
i enjoyed ghost rider more than narnia 1.

en fin, going to see prince caspian on wednesday.

for the topic:

in theathers: iron man
in tv: one hour photo (though i didnt manage to see it completely.. which i regret)

Saw In Bruges and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Liked both.

No Country for Old Men - I was very impressed...it's a great movie.

I'm heading out to see Prince Caspian in a few minutes, hopefully it's good.

Seven Samurai. Long, but really good.

Narnia, Prince Caspian.

Iron Man.

tv: first 3 indiana jones movies, one following the next

Iron Man and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Both really great, Forgetting Sarah Marshall especially.

Apocalypto. Marvelous movie.

The new Indiana Jones. Alright for what it is.

The last movie I watched was the new Indiana Jones and I must say that was a ridiculous movie. I enjoyed it but still...just wow.

Street Kings with Keanu Reeves and Forrest Whitaker.

Good movie.

Margot at the Wedding. Pretty good movie. I'd recommend it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


(I like Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory better imo)

Titan A.E. Man, I really liked that film when I was a bit younger, but watching it today, it is pretty frustrating. It has an awful lot of potential as a story but really poorly thought out motives, clunky lines and plot holes you could drive a big spaceship with a load of DNA through. 6/10 man, potential earning it an extra point or two.

Asamiya, if you wanna PM me, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on why Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is more enjoyable. I found the latter film on the whole to be creative, original, and despite some of the add-ons and changes, nevertheless very true to the book.

Citizen Kane

Just saw Sex and The City. I thought it was great. Sue me.

I enjoy the programme and thought they did a great job of the film.

Pokemon Movie 10

John Carpenter's The Thing on Sci-Fi.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc. It was alot better than I remember. The ending was awsome though. Bad guys get what they deserve >D

The Grudge.

Not a fan of horror movies but a die hard fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Spiderman 3 - Did not like it much

Gods and Generals - Rate: 4/10

Proposterous. Long on running time, but low on content.

The 1986 Transformers movie... again! (like the 5th time)

Pokemon Movie 10

Smiley Face. I watched it with a few of my friends after renting it at McDonalds. That movie is SOOOOOOOOOO messed up.

Meet the Spartans- uuhhh well I did giggle a time or two but I would have to say it's not really worth a buy or a rent just wait till it's on tv (although not worth missing your favorite show over)

about the only good thing that came from that movie is that I found out that the new futurama movie is coming out the 24 of june which excited me greatly :D

27 Dresses. Same typical love story, but it was "family day" at my house, and they chose that. The part with "Bennie and the Jets" was the only part worth watching in my opinion.

City of God.

One of the best film ever made.

Get Smart

Man...I thought it would be better. Still it was OK.
Bill Murray cameo made my eyes sparkle...lol.

Get Smart

I want to see that.

Camp Rock. It was lame and on TV, but it's the sorta thing where, you can't look away 1) because you're babysitting and it gets the kids to be quiet 2) it's so corny that you're eyes are glued to the screen. It was lame.

City of God.

One of the best film ever made.

Very good flick

Saw Hoax over the weekend.

Jacobs Ladder

Jumper

I was disappointed...but hell I had high expectations for some reason. I set myself up for that one

...not bad I guess.

Hidalgo

In Theaters: Hulk

At home: Funny Games - One of the worst movies I've seen, Completely disappointed!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

oh completely forgot, i saw jumper also. It was a decent movie, I think it's going to be about 3 movies was it? honestly they could have just put all three into one action packed movie and it probably would have been better, the movie wasn't even a full hour and a half long. decent rent but i wouldn't buy it

also i kind of wanted to see funny games :-/

The Exorcist (the version you've never seen). I loved this movie.

The Hulk.
And I loved it.

Music and Lyrics. I think it's brilliant and recently found out that Drew Barrymore does all of the singing involved with her part. Love that movie. = )

Camp Rock. It was lame and on TV, but it's the sorta thing where, you can't look away 1) because you're babysitting and it gets the kids to be quiet 2) it's so corny that you're eyes are glued to the screen. It was lame.

it wasn't that bad. it was a typical disney channel movie, imo. not as good as hsm2 or the cheetah girls 2, but still, not terrible.

it wasn't that bad. it was a typical disney channel movie, imo.

True, but I still laughed at their terrible acting.

the people who acted terribly were the blonde chick and devi lovato or w/e the hell her name is. she annoys the crap out of me. the way she moves her mouth when she is talking/singing is so weird!!!! god, i just want to punch her.

All the characters had terrible moments, but I guess that's true about any actor. Oh, I didn't like the blonde's acting at all. I can't think of that other girls name, but I know who you're talking about. I agree. She was just... *shudder* And don't worry, you're not the only one who wanted to punch her.

10,000 B.C.

a lot of crap, let me tell you.....it just didn't make any sense, poorly edited and terribly acted...it looked pretty though

also i kind of wanted to see funny games :-/
It's not that bad, It just wasn't what I expected.
I would only recommend it if you like Indie artsy movies that are metaphors about society.

The last movie I saw was Ju on 2 and Sister Street Fighter

Camp Rock again, this time it was the sing along version.

Last movie I saw was Iron Man, and I loved it to pieces.

Needed more of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man", though.

Ratatouille (I think that's how you spell it... I know it's close.)

Last movie I saw in theaters is "Hot Fuzz". Loved it, even though I had no idea it was made by the guys behind "Shawn of the Dead" (another great flick!)!

Saw The Incredible Hulk last week. Absolutely loooooved it. Especially after re-watching Ang Lee's only a few days earlier. Ed Norton is a dreamboat in this one.

I saw Wanted yesterday.
I thought it was great. Very fast paced, with a great story.

What I liked: Angelina Jolie, Good story, Angelina Jolie, great opening, Angelina Jolie, good plot twists, and ANGELINA JOLIE is HOT in it.

Gripes: Aside from the basic plot, it wasn't a true comic adaptation. I didn't like the montage training sequence and the quick plot development. It could've used more meat to make it a longer movie.

Overall: Even with all the gripes, I thought It was a good movie. I understood why they changed it from a fraternity of Super-villians, to a Fraternity of assassins. It would of been hard to explain each character especially with Super-heroes involved.

I recommend it.

Jack and the Bean Stalk (I think that's what it's called. I was half asleep while watching it on TV.) It was pretty good, but a little weird...

30 days of night, finally! the film was better than i expected, i'm not really a big fan of vampire films but 30 days of night was alot more gorey than i had intended which is what i'd consider a positive factor of the film! a little confused as to whether there was meant to be subtitles for when the vampires were communicating amongst themselves? we downloaded the film off of the internet which may be the reason for the lack of subtitles if there are supposed to be any!

The Ghost A nice horror flick from Korea

I saw Wanted yesterday.

I just watched that last night myself. I thought it was pretty cool. I did think at times the story did move too fast and it probably could have been a bit longer but overall I was happy enough. Much better than "The Happening", which I watched the night before.

indiana jones crystal skull. i though it was ok. the movies i can't wait to see are hellboy 2 and batman

Little Shop of Horrors - 1960 version

Pretty funny stuff!

The Spiderwick Chronicles on DVD. I give it 2 1/2 stars. Nothing all that interesting or awesome, but not a bad film either. Just good enough to keep me mildly interested and watching.

Wall E. Absolutely adorable and enjoyable, I really loved this movie. I found to actually have a profound meaning, despite it's childish facade. Focuses on the overconsumption - of about everything. Technology, food, materials etc.

I definantly recommend it. 4 & 1/2 stars (out of 5).

Hellboy. Quite fancied it~

hello boy joins the army of golden ppl 9/10

wall-e. i liked it (even if during some of the 1st half some little kid wouldn't whisper)

I've just watch Hellboy II. It's an amazing movie I've seen to date yet due to the story, characters, and the jokes hahaha. I'm quite fond of Abe & Nuala love segment as I thought it was cute. I especially love where HB and Abe got drunk and sing Barry Manilow's Can't Smile Without You and the locker scuffle between HB & Krauss. I give it 8.9/10 :love:

I watched 'Hancock' recently.
It wasn't too epic, however it made me laugh a few times. XP

Went to the Dark Knight today. Oh my. Yeah, it's good.

The Sword in The Stone DVD. Haha. Yeah I hafta see The Dark Knight as well.

Star Wars: Episode I-VI

I just recently finished my marathon, and I still found myself as much in love with these movies as I have always been. The old ones are slighty better, but I-III are more epic. That is of course thanks to the advanced animations.

Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. I love those two.

wanted, and i thought it was awesome!

I saw 'THE DARK KNIGHT' and I must say fantastic. Everybody should go see it.

The Dark Knight

Go see it!!!!

Primer or the Dark Knight, can't remember what was first. Primer is very hard to follow but pretty good, Batman is very good but noticeably long.

Hellboy II. Lurved it in spite of flaws~

Metal Gear Solid 4

My Name is Nobody

A comical western film starring Terence Hill

strange wilderness- it was actually decently funny, not a bad movie but not really one that i'd but

national treasure 2- it was alright, not that bad of a movie. Most of the comedy was situated around the sidekick guy (whose name I can't remember) he was mostly useless in the puzzle solving on this one, you's think he'd know a little more than what he did. regardless I guess I wouldn't mind watching it if I caught it on tv but I wouldn't buy it

Just watched After Hours again. I've seen it a few times and I always enjoy it. It's a Scorsese film from the eighties starring Griffin Dunne and a great supporting cast. A slice of New York(especially the Village) in the eighties, though it looks a little cleaner than it really was. Great soundtrack.

STEPBROTHERS!!

Go see it, if F'n Funny!!

last movie in theatres: Hancock. t'was ok (5/10)

last movie at home: Hidden Fortress. t'was TEH SHIT!!!! (11/10)

X Files - I Want To Believe.

Office Space

I want to be a construction worker, too :(

Damn it feels good to be a gangster
Cause real gangster ass niggas dont stop

21. A decent film with a great story.

tropic thunder in the theaters. it was meh.

and at home, sex and the city: the movie, which was great like the other 2 times i saw it ^^

The Orphanage.

Good times. A+ recommendation, Rob.

Star Wars The Clone Wars

see neg! i told you. it's SOOOO good.

rogue, how was that movie? i heard it was terrible.

the golden compass- eehhh well it could have been longer, they sort of just suddenly said "to be continued" wasn't that bad. i'd say it's worth renting

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay- uuhhhh well eehhh the first one had a mission, a point, a goal but this one, the beginning plot is sort of just thrown away somewhat and they throw a bunch of habits and naked people in and then at the end they rush in with the "here's the girl you were SUPPOSED to be chasing, THE END!" I dunno a few parts were amusing but that's about it. not a terrible rent but not a buy, white castle was better

brandy, with the golden compass, they ended it a bit earlier than the book. they did it that way so that they could put the last couple of chapters of the book as the beginning of the second movie, to help it flow better

I love H&K Escape From Guan. Bay. It had a great plot. Plus naked broads who shows their fuzzy parts. Ha. 'Fuzzy parts'.

Mummy 3, it was surprising to see Jet li in it.

The Mist and it was a freaking amazing movie. Didn't expect to like it as much as I did. O:

Mummy 3, it was surprising to see Jet li in it.

man, that movie looks terrible. no imohtep or rachel weisz? gtfo nao, pls, kthxbai!!!


I love H&K Escape From Guan. Bay. It had a great plot. Plus naked broads who shows their fuzzy parts. Ha. 'Fuzzy parts'.

um, it really didn't. and jesus, just get some porn and jack off to that.

Clone Wars; I actually thought the baby Hutt was quite cute...

see neg! i told you. it's SOOOO good.

rogue, how was that movie? i heard it was terrible.


It was good, its not really a movie thats what the critics seemed to either forget or didn't know. It was a pilot for the upcoming TV Series that will air in October, what they did was take the first 3 episodes edited them together to make a 90 minute film.

Would it have been better if they just made a film from scratch yeah it would have but for what it was it was a fun and enjoyable film.

Be Kind Rewind-Jack Black is good as always, as is Danny Glover. Great plot, funny humor, and a second half that puts almost everything else this year to shame. I wasn't expecting a serious film but Michael Gondry pulled it off very well as it's essentially his love letter to filmmaking. As a film studies major, I'm probably able to appreciate this one more than most, but I've been recommending it like mad. 10/10

Just watched The Departed

I thought it was pretty good. I like Leonardo Di Caprio playing a character like that. I also thought he was good in his role. I am not usually a fan of him to be honest. But it was a solid effort.

The story worked quite well too. The whole "who is the rat?" thing began to wear a little thin. But it brought it back towards the end. Overall I'd say it was a great film. And definitely worth a watch.

The Departed was great i thought and a very unusual end to it.
I saw Gone in 60 Seconds last night and i really liked it because i like most of the movies Nicholas Cage is in and because it had some very cool cars.

V for Vendetta, that movie is my poison.

A fine day off work this is turning out to be. Just watched another film. The Recruit. Starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell.

It was OK. The beginning made it look like the film was going to be something different to what it turned out to be. Not enough action sequences fro my liking. And the whole plot was a little shaky.

At least it had some nice eye candy in the form of Bridget Moynahan. But her acting was nothing to write home about. The film is another one i can cross off my list. But if you haven't seen it, don't cut your wrists. It is nothing special. But that's just my opinion..

I think i'll watch one more today. Its either Domino, or Collateral.

The Ninth Gate- not that bad of a movie, Johnny Depp's roles are always entertaining. I'd buy it if I say it on sale.

Just Saw The Fantastic Four recently

i bought the ninth gate for 10 bucks at walmart one time. sorry last movie i saw journey to the center of the earth in 3d not bad the 3d effect was cool. last movie i saw at home was final fantasy advent children, vampire hunter d, and jackass movie number 2 unrated.

V for Vendetta, that movie is my poison.

I love that movie.

The last movie that I saw in theatres was Bablyon A.D.. I thought it was very good in the ending. Absolutely terrible ending. The last movie I was at home (for the first time finally) was Pride and Prejudice. Absolutely love that movie.

Shutter.

Burn After Reading

Sorta...I was really tired and pretty much slept through a lot of it.
Pretty good from what I caught.

Pulp Fiction

road to perdition- good movie, i wouldn't mind owning it

Varsity Blues

The blob (1988)

Bump!

I as routing through some old boxers at my dad's house recently. And I cam across a film a watched years ago, over and over.

Batman - Mask Of The Phantasm

It's awesome..even more so if you haven't seen it in years.

Also Silent Hill

Jacob's Ladder.

Fantastical Magical. Any younger Silent Hill fans owe it to themselves to finally see it. Influences aplenty~

a preemptive high school musical 3

A movie called Megalodon, and despite of questionable special effects, I actually liked it.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Yes, I am a Trekkie and this is one of my favorites

Smart People

Was pretty good movie, that juno broad kicks ass

Watched Casino Royale again. Definitely one of the best Bond movies I've seen. Then again, I haven't seen all the Bond movies. I just think the ice-cold Bond is cooler than the playboy Bond.

i can't picture Bond as anyone but Pierce Brosnan.

oh, and the obligatory "LEAVE BOND TO ME"

i can't picture Bond as anyone but Pierce Brosnan.

oh, and the obligatory "LEAVE BOND TO ME"

I feel the same about Roger Moore, but then again, i am old as dirt.....

I think the only Bond that didnt fit 2 date was George Lazenby... maybe the fact that they dubbed his voice says a bit also.

Sin City

Ferngully, The Last Ranforest.

Quarantine.

1408

Better than I expected.

All Dogs Go To Heaven

Night Watch

Watched Schindler's List earlier. I'm not really sure what to think of it, it was a pretty draining experience. Really well done though.

1408

Better than I expected.

It is magnificent~

Says the person with the user title and accompanying macro :o

High School Musical 3 (the first of many viewings, to be sure). AND i got to see it all by myself in the hugest auditorium so i could sing loudly and laugh and react to everything. aahh, one of the perks of working at a movie theater...

eagle eye.
i liked it a lot.
but i expected to be an actual terrorist group

Sin City, great movie

meh, it was ok, not bad, but not great. not my favorite movie. imo, kill bill is better.

Session 9.

I see the influence it had on SH3, but tbh it was a little drab.

Still, Caruso saying fuck :swoon:

O Brother, Where Art Thou

not too shabby

3:10 To Yuma.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Classic

Quarantine at the theater, Grindhouse at home

Scary Movie 4: Finally Dr. Phil admitted on National Television that he is really not a doctor, but an electrician.

Quarantine at the theater, Grindhouse at home

how was quarantine?

There Will Be Blood. It was very magnificent, all its positive commentaries are well justified!

Really? I'll get around to watching it now Trent, it's been on my HD for quite some time :p.

Attempted to see "The Happening" but the DVD from McDonald's was horribly scratched up that it kept skipping in the player.

Renting movies at McDonalds still makes me lol.

Renting movies at McDonalds still makes me lol.

Not my idea. My boyfriend loves to do that. *shrug* I prefer Blockbuster. ;-)

The Orphanage (again!) .

It always makes me cry at the end.

I totally cried when I watched the Orphanage.

Really?! You aren't pulling my leg here o.o
Cause it made me really sad at the end. And a little angry. But mostly sad.

Why would I lie about that? o_O

I dunno. For lols?



Neg<3

man, neg only watched that cause i pushed him to. that <3 belongs to me!


Renting movies at McDonalds still makes me lol.
x2

Rob<3

I saw...Saw V, and oh my goodness it was boring as fuck

When watching those films and any similar ones, imagine the Sponge Bob song "Best Day Ever" during the torture scenes and it'll enhance the experience greatly


how was quarantine?

It was alright but felt like "hey it's Cloverfield with the Blair Witch and zombies" and that was hard to ignore. If you hate shaky camera work it'll just annoy the fuck out of you, sometimes it was absolutely *impossible* to tell what was happening. I don't think anyone expects super fine cinema from most horror movies though, and that in mind, it wasn't too bad really. From a technical point there were a couple super long camera shots (where a lot happens in one take without cutting) and I really like those, and the acting was ok. For giggles, it had one of the most lulzy ways to kill someone ever :D

Cinema - Mirrors

Turned out to be alot better than I expected, though still think there was room for improvement.

Home - Overboard as recently got it on dvd. One of my favourite comedy's!

Saw V. It was terrible.

I watched Taken in the cinemas, pretty entertaining.

Also SAW has really run it's course, it was never good to begin with ffs.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I quite liked it, as I do with pretty much all of Kevin Smith's movies. He's finally getting good at actually moving the god damn camera too.

Not gonna write up some big boring review, but yeah, dug it.

Kevin made a new movie?

Paint me uninformed.

Haha how in the world did you miss that

I only check Shrine, X-E, and YouTube?

I have a very limited world :o Makes me feel safe and cozy.

I'm going to have to post more to learn you up, son

But yeah, go check it out maing

Metroland

Godzilla: Final Wars...

My god, that movie was mayhem. I dunno how many different plots they go through in one movie lol. It was funny at first, but then I just couldn't wait for it to end.

The last movie I saw was The House Bunny. I didn't see it because I thought it was going to be awesome, but my boyfriend's little sister wanted to see it so I took her. That, and I think Anna Farris is amusing. Color me impressed, because I actually liked it.

I watched Taken in the cinemas, pretty entertaining.
Taken was awesome. No one I know has ever heard of it though. The plot was just a teensy bit cliched, but it was an excellent movie nontheless.

The last movie I saw was Kill Bill Vol. 2. I don't know which I liked more, the first or the second one. The first has a lot of Japanese which really confused me, but Tantino gave O'Ren such a great backstory, even in anime style! The only thing missing was O'Ren's revenge of the lanky dude who killed her dad.

The second one, however, explained a lot of things, and in the end it made me sad like no other violent gore movie ever has. D: It was a tad obvious that she knew the palm strike thingy though, and that she was going to use it on Bill.

Alvin and the Chipmunks. ZOMG, meh. Jason Lee got the shaft. I mean, I know I shouldn't expect him to the be the focus.

It was just what was on while I was grading papers.

I LOVE renting movies from the red box <3 it's cheap and great!! screw paying 5 to 6 dollars or however much, we usually only watch it once anyways so $1 a night is great :D the downfall is the selection isn't always great :-/

anyways recent movies-


Indiana Jones and the blah blah blah- Truthfully I kind of expected to find this movie even the least bit enjoyable, I thought "maybe people just expected to much, it can't be THAT bad" plus since Shia LeBeouf was in it (considering I find him one of the better young actors) I thought i'd like it........well........I didn't. It sucked, action mostly sucked, story mostly sucked, there were some aspects that COULD have been potentially interesting but the execution and the end just.......sucked. anyways I have no interest in seeing it again.

Futurama Bender's game- I guess entertaining but I think Bender's big score was better

Also might I add where I live the red box isn't only at mcdonald's, it's at walgreens AND walmart. which is all pretty idiotic since all three location are on the same street.........

Sex and the City. I absolutely loved it. Everything I remembered the show to be ~

Gang Tapes.

Word.

X-Files - I want to belive

Iron Mang - good for that type of movie

the newest Indiana Jones - O.K. nothing like the older ones of course

Religulous - good and funny

Sex and the City. I absolutely loved it. Everything I remembered the show to be ~

omg, isn't it?!?!!?!?!?!? it was so great AND they may be making another one ^___^ btw, dante was hot, y/y?

solaris, i love that you like SatC. makes me feel like i am not the only one here and it's awesome that we can talk about it

/me adds another cool-awesome point to the HUGE pile that solaris has already accumulated

Hellboy II the golden army- Well it was a pretty decent movie, I still have yet to come to a final conclusion about how I feel about the movie. Some things I liked, some things I didn't. I didn't fully like how hellboy's attitude seemed a bit different in this one and I also didn't care for the relationship mumbo jumbo, but I did like all the other creatures/monsters in this one. I wouldn't mind owning it but I wouldn't pay full price for it :-/

omg, isn't it?!?!!?!?!?!? it was so great AND they may be making another one ^___^ btw, dante was hot, y/y?

solaris, i love that you like SatC. makes me feel like i am not the only one here and it's awesome that we can talk about it

/me adds another cool-awesome point to the HUGE pile that solaris has already accumulated

^__________________^

And Dante is gorgeous and I was really glad to see Samantha come back.

I love that show. I love how I can relate to so many of their situations.

yes he is. and that...uh...special part of the move was very nice, wasn't it? i would have left my dog alone and joined, that's for sure.

seriously! and at the risk of sounding lame, that show makes me want to live their lives and have those super close friends and just have awesome situations like that.

I wish I had a group of friends like that too, so I know what you mean!

yea i saw twilight and it wasn't very good

Hairspray.

The 2007 one, at Rob's insistence. I had this preconcieved notion about John Waters and thought the movie was only about shock value, but hey it's about something (I'm assuming the original has the exact same plot?) and I liked it for that :)

I saw Indiana Jones & the Crystal Skull, lots of Labeouf goodness :love: I also saw Mrs. Pettigrew lives for a day; which turned out to be pretty good imo.

Wall-E- Cute little movie, I wouldn't mind owning it

Hancock-It wasn't that bad, had some entertaining parts to it, i'd get it if it were really cheap

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! neg saw hairspray!!!!!!! ^^ see, i told you it was good. no, the original is not exactly like that. this one was based mostly off the broadway play which in turn was based off the original movie. i'm sure the original has many similarities and is really close, but they are not exactly the same. and iirc, the original hairspray was not a musical.

did you enjoy the zac efron smexy goodness? (you better have)

yea i saw twilight and it wasn't very good

One word: ATROCIOUS.
Everything about this movie is just awful.

Now if you want a very good vampire themed movie, check out "Let The Right One In" It is the complete opposite of Twilight. One of the best vampire movie i have ever seen. The only downside is its only being shown in limited release and its a foreign film as well (swedish) so you will need to deal with subtitles..

check out the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICp4g9p_rgo

last film I saw was Iron Man.
Haven't seen a movie in theaters since Righteous Kill, though I plan on seeing the Punisher: Warzone next weekend.

Last night I finally sat down and watched Eastern Promises. Wonderful movie, I liked the way the characters developed, you began hating some and growing to like them, and vice versa. I can see why a certain scene of the film (bathhouse) is so controversial, and I have to admit there was a certain ridiculousness to seeing Viggo Mortensen fighting two goons in the nude. He finishes the fight covered in so much blood and stab wounds, the nudity is just another tool to show the ruthlessness of the characters of the film. The final shot of the film gave me shivers.

I'm a big fan of Naomi Watts but I thought she was a bit absent throughout the film, even in the scenes she was in. I also thought her character could have been developed a lot more; a scene with her mother and uncle alludes to an interesting back story involving an interracial relationship and a failed pregnancy, but sadly nothing eventuates from this. I would've also liked a little more on the issue of the sexuality of one of the main characters, which is hinted at by a few of the antagonists and helps to build on the sense of uneasiness and distrust in the film, but again we are left to draw our own conclusions.

There were also other little issues I had with the film, including the characters' sometimes hard-to-understand Russian accents, and the fact that I had no idea the film was set in London as opposed to Russia until 3/4 into the damn movie.

Quantum Of Solace. I thought it was a decent movie overall and a worthy follow-up to Casino Royale. I was particularly glad that I didnt find myself phasing out like I did during the card game towards the end of CR.

Reservatin Road... Not bad

All seven Children of the Corn films. For anyone who doesn't know, the basic premise is a cult of maize worshipping children who decide to kill off all the adults. Sounds dumb probably, but it works as a kind of pulp allegory in the original story at least. That version can be found collected in the book Night Shift.


As for the films? Bit of a waste of fourteen hours. The series has a bit of a supernatural touch, but it confounds me how so many film-makers thought it'd be the coolest fucking thing to have actual stalks of corn kill people! Did no one realise how laughably idiotic that sounds in conversation, and look in execution?

Anywho, I do have some positive words. The first film, truest to the original story by Stephen King, did a remarkable job of capturing the setting. Everything looked pretty much as I'd imagined it when I first read the tale. And besides a few funny moments, that's pretty much all I liked.

The second film was god awful in every respect. I discovered this five minutes in when a stalk of maize slit a man's throat as another launched itself through a car windscreen to impale a second miserable soul.

The third film probably stands out as my favourite.

The fourth was pretty meh. Not all that bad though for straight to DVD. It had some genuinely creepy moments if not the best plot. Surprisingly, this starred Naomi Watts.

The fifth (Fields of Terror) sucked. Brainless slasher. We've all seen this same group of young adults on a road trip before. Even if it does feature Eva Mendez and David Carradine <3

CotC 666: The Return of Isaac. Not that bad a film. I felt like it was the first one to connect with the original film and do a good job of it. Probably helps that John Franklin reprises his role as Isaac from the first film.

CotC Revelations. Another crap addition to the CotC lore. Ambitious for sure, it tires to build upon the history of series' antagonist quite unsuccessfully with a cast of unbelievable and downright stupid characters.

The last film I saw was Tropic Thunder. Was pretty average but Robert Downey Jr was amazing in it. Good value for him alone.

dooode, you should have seen this film at age 8, it scared the shit out of me...just my opinion on the First film, I didnt see any of the sequels.

im not saying it was a "good" film, but its like saying Nighmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th II were horrible too, looking back they are all a bit silly.

Yeah, you're probably right. Almost definitely would have scared me in that "omg blood" way if nothing else. Even Terminator 2 scared me when I was younger. Both star Linda Hamilton :o

Rec!

Was the spanish original version of Qarantine

I bought Wanted today (<blink>spoilers ahead me hearties!</blink>) and it came in this sweet looking steel DVD cases. Not the cheap ass ones that Ezy-dvd tack on to every new release and call an 'exclusive offer'. Though it just has Angelina Jolie on it; I was fine with the film's poster which features Jolie much more prominently than James McAvoy, but it's ridiculous to just have her on the front cover of the DVD. I would be fine if it was some kind of collector's thing where they had different characters on different covers, but it's ridiculous how they have just pasted her on as the image of the film when she hardly has a presence in it.

Anyway the film. I think I enjoyed it more than when I did in the theatres, which is strange because I remember thinking that, although I really liked it, I probably wouldn't want to watch it again. I noticed a bit more to the performances, mainly with Morgan Freeman as the leader. You could tell now that there was a hidden motivation for what he was doing; the way he orchestrated not only McAvoy's character into doing what he wanted, but also the people that thought they were so much more educated and in-the-know than Wesley.

Some of the elements within this film are pretty ridiculous, but I really didn't have that much of a problem going along with it. The bullet-bending was a pretty cool idea, as was the Jedi-like deflecting of a bullet using another bullet. The concept of a loom that decides who will be assassinated would have been more believable if they showed some sort of justification to believing in it; that only the names of bad people, criminals, showed up but apart from the back story we're given to Jolie's character we don't get such an explanation. The movie did a good job of touching on this argument, that eventually everyone's name is going to show and everyone is going to have to be killed, but the ending doesn't really give any guidance as to whether Wesley is going to keep going with this loom trickery or if he will find another way of justifying being an assassin. Or even if he will continue to be an assassin.

A major ethical problem I have with the movie is how inhumane it is. Wesley is taken in by a Fraternity of assassins in order to be prepared, physically and mentally, to kill another person, by the members of this team who, for the most of the film, we are meant to see as righteous and lovable. Later however, when Wesley has left and is fighting against the group, he employs the same tactics he learned there; namely, rat-bombs. The message of films like these is usually that taking another life is fine, as long as they deserve it. Also, one of the major fight scenes takes place on a passenger train, which ends up derailing and falling down a cliff, yet we never see the other passengers as anything but another obstacle for the main characters to bend their bullets around. And they probably all died, judging by how violently the train crashed against the walls of the mountains.

The other problems I had with the film mainly had to do with the character of Wesley. His 'turn' was just too quick. His first encounter with the Fraternity is traumatic enough for him to think, and wish, it was just a dream but his boss pisses him off at work the next day, and that is enough to convince him that, yeah, it would be pretty cool to be a professional killer. The Fight Club-style narration is also a pain in the ass. Not really because of the actor, because McAvoy is pretty superb I thought, but just because it's an annoying technique. It was pretty important in merging the experiences of the audience and Wesley, though, at the same time, you're directing a movie, one of the actors of which is Morgan Freeman, and you decide that you want to have a narrator. The choice should have been pretty clear!

at first I was just gonna write a few lines but I got carried away

Wanted was one of those movies where I wish I hadn't read the source material first. Because when you see the unforgiving, unapologetic, debasement in Mark Millar's original idea you can totally understand why that version never made it to film. The friggin thing ends with the protagonist meta-arse fucking the reader; yeah, that had to go. I didn't think I'd ever want to see the film twice either, but your thoughts on it be persuasive, Mr Lukey.

Andromeda Strain (2008).

Was made for TV remake of the 1971 classic. Was actually not bad, they sort of put a modern day spin on the tale.

I just watched The Warriors (1979) twice, even my geeky roommate found it to be an awesome watch. I is infatuated with young Michael Beck :love:

The Departed <3 and Lucky Number Slevin, not bad at all. I liked the sorta inappropriate kind of humor in Slevin!

Well, not really inappropriate, I just didn't expect it at all. x)

Yes Man.

I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it a whole lot. Touche, Brim, touche.

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Dark Knight on Blu Ray

Jackass: The Movie and yes, I laughed my ass off.

Last few movies I saw include Moliere, which I loved loved loved. Romain Duris has become a favourite of mine, but despite his great performance here it's rivaled by a few others. I can't remember his name but the other main character, the guy who hires Moliere, is one of the better comedic actors I've seen in a while. In a scene he's dressed as a woman, yet is able to give me goosebumps when he delivers his dramatic lines. The same could go for the whole film, I suppose; a lot of it is about Moliere's desire to do tragedy but people just want to see comedy, so they just laugh when he does his serious work.

Yesterday I watched the Strangers, which didn't give me as much creeps as I thought but was still effective as a thriller, it was probably just that I watched it during the day with Friends on too loudly in the next room. Liv Tyler's voice always annoys me, as if she can't raise it above a slight whisper or something. A few of my friends were annoyed with the film not explaining the motive for the intruders but I think that's the message of the movie, that shit like this happens for no reason, that people just do it because it entertains them.

Like when the victim asks them why they're attacking them, one just replies "because you were home".

Very disturbing.

I have Casino Royale and The Assassination of Jesse James lined up for the next few days

Valkyrie. Good movie.

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Honestly, MEH. The beginning had my head swimming. SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS AND CORPORATIONS! WHERE'S LEON ;_;;

It has some really cliche stuff in it:

Oh, the tyrant pauses for a moment because he sees a picture of his former self and his sister who's standing in front of him. Awwwww. BLECH

But, Leon kicking ass and getting his unrequited/interrupted love on is ace.

Hunnigan is in it!!!!!! <333333

Worth torrenting if you love Leon. I paid 3 bucks for it, so I'm happy. Only watch if you love Leon~

/end most fanboyish movie review EVAR ;)

i quote what i said before.

also, corporations are where it's at, neg. that's what RE is (real RE's, that is)

also, fuck leon and hunnigan

Spoiler-y chat logs


Knegative (11:30:03 PM): every shot he takes is a headshot
Knegative (11:30:06 PM): EVERY SINGLE ONE
Knegative (11:30:39 PM): oh and he headshots a Tryant. oh Leon <33 if Capcom loves him so much, why is Chris even in 5? Why not just do every game as a Leon game?

anyname i'm telling you
anyname they turned into square with shitty cloud and sephiroth
anyname that entire movie was leon fan service

Yeah, if it's such a Sephy/Cloud situation, why

was there no Wesker?

cause he's a shitty character?

GO SILENT HILL!!

GO SILENT HILL!!

GO SILENT HILL!!


Also, I watched all of the Omen films and in my opinion, represent how competent horror should be done. The first three still give me the creeps even though I'd seen them before. The last two (Awakening and the Omen remake) were terrible though.

Watched a buttload of movies lately. Casino Royale, the Assassination of Jesse James, Sex and the City, Evening.

James Bond was brilliant, despite never being a fan of anything but the Goldeneye N64 game and not being a big poker nut. I thought Eva Green was the star, but Daniel Craig and Judie Dench were great in their roles also. I thought it would be a lot cheesier than it was, I liked how they relegated the outrageous names for their pseudonyms, and the way they took a pretty static narrative (it centres on a single bloody game of poker!) and injected enough action to keep it well-paced. I found the romantic scenes during slower stages of the film to be a bit of a bore, especially as they come so late. It's great but hasn't hooked me onto the series, not even sure when I'll see Quantum of Solace.

The Assassination of Jesse James was a mightily impressive one. Wasn't hot or cold on the Brad Pitt performance, never have been a fan of his. Too many times the Brad Pitt shone through and blurred the line between Jesse James and every other role's he has been in. Casey Affleck was the real star though. The way he bumbled and guffawed around when he was just a Jesse James nut was totally different to how he handled the later more sombre scenes. He plays innocence so well but then his dark side emerges and it's kind of terrifying. I've heard a lot of people complain about the film merely because of its length but I didn't see a problem with that; I think the way it cut the story up, like chapters of a book with the narration in between to fill in the blanks, really made it feel like a shorter film. When I reached the end I actually wanted it to go on.

Evening's another good one, expectedly so with the involvement of so many of my favourites; Meryl Streep, Hugh Dancy, Tony Collette, Patrick Wilson, and Michael Cunningham doing the screen play, which was one of the reasons I wanted to see it. Everyone fit into the roles so neatly, especially Hugh Dancy. His character was heartbreaking and charming but a pain in the ass at the same time. A lot of the big players of the movie were allotted only small screen time but they still manage to be so effective anyway, mainly Meryl Streep and Glenn Close. When she finds out her son is dead and she is crying with everyone just standing around watching her. It's as striking as the acting itself.

I'm late but...

GO SILENT HILL!!

Rock N Rolla

Better than revolver. All style but no substance which isn't bad for a Guy Ritchie movie, slow paced and overtly long and not as witty and thrilling as Snatch or Two Smoking Barrels, a little too many characters who make the movie a bit of a mess until they all "meet" each other.

1 point for Abramovich

A Streetcar Named Desire, I think. It is very good, and it reminds me of Interpol because of that song Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down and the way Marlon Brando is all "Stella! Hey Stella!" I ended up loving that song on Last.fm as a result. Actually, now I realise the last film I watched was Escape From Wildcat Canyon, some family film about a grandpa and his grandson who crash a plane in a canyon and the grandpa is a WWII vet, but never told anyone, and then he bonds with his grandson as they ESCAPE THE CANYON. It wasn't very good but I like to finish stuff when I start to watch it.

Dan In Real Life. Eh....................

i liked it and can't wait for the sequel ;-; inb4tm

and tchesco, dan in real life was good, imo.

Yeah, your probably right. Before watching it, I was in the comedy mood, and watched it with a bunch of friends. I should probably watch it a second time, which would give me another opinion about it....
