I overanalyze things. Some would say I'm paranoid.
According to some of my ideas, others would call me a paranoid, conspiracy nut.

I am intrigued. Make a thread detailing these ideas, if you feel so compelled.

Well, I don't want to get into detail about it, but I will say that these conspiracies involve 9/11, NWO, the Illuminati... y'know, that kinda stuff. I like hearing about other conspiracy theories, but I am very cautious and picky about what I believe in...

Ah

Terminator Salvation.

I much preferred this to the third film, and thought it was pretty decently done. But still like the first 2 movies in the series much better.

I watched Terminator Salvation on the weekend and it was pretty good. I watched the trilogy today and much preferred those films though.

The Hangover, really funny.

Pineapple Express

Evil Dead II

Dune

transformers 2.

its like the ending of the first one but 2.5 hours long.

Revenge of the Fallen.

Sux da balls. Except for the twins.

The secret is to blend into your surroundings
It's supposed to hurt, it's an assbeatin'

transformers 2.

Thank you for saving me $12. Obviously not worth it.

5 dolla matinees, ftw.

April Showers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDVmBybCjmo) - I was surprised by how well it was film and acted. The director did a really fine job though it got really slow toward the end.

Hatching Pete.........

Thank you for saving me $12. Obviously not worth it.

so you dont like decepticons and autobots blowing the shit out of each other?

IMHO, I thought the first Transformers movie wasn't that great. :/

5 dolla matinees, ftw.

ours are 7.50 wtf.


so you dont like decepticons and autobots blowing the shit out of each other?

maximals and predacons are better

IMHO, I thought the first Transformers movie wasn't that great. :/

It sucked. Just more than this one. By a hair.


ours are 7.50 wtf.

I'm awesome, and so is my theatre?

mine is 3dlls

Let's go live in Podunk w/Catty, Rob.

no thx. i don't pay for movies anyway :)

Superman Doomsday - It was nice with all the violence and blood. It makes me laugh wondering about all the unsuspecting children who watched it though.

no thx. i don't pay for movies anyway :)

Yes, he's awesome like that.

Princess Protection Program.... ...

omg, me too. it was so bad, lol.

Role Models. Very funny if you like Paul Rudd, David Wain, etc. In the same style as Wet Hot American Summer and includes most of the same people.

The Skeleton Key - I liked this enough though I wish the ending hadn�t been so easy to figure out. And while I enjoyed Hudson�s performance (and side-boob), I like seeing Peter Sarsgaard even more.

Friday the 13th (remake) - I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical about any sort of redeeming value this film might have, but I was proven wrong. It was well filmed, suspenseful, and humorous at the right moments. Another thing I enjoyed is that it wasn't a shot-for-shot remake, but a successful re-imagining, so the movie seemed fresh while still sticking to the Friday the 13th formula of young cocky 20-somethings getting slaughtered.

Session9

Still not a masterwork, but if you inspire SH3 and have David Caruso saying fuck, I'm going to abide your company til the end of time, anyway.

Sick Nurse

Shiver (Eskalofr�o) - A nice Spanish thriller about a young man suffering from photophobia. Him and his mother move to a village in the mountains where the days are shorter, but as soon as they do, murders start up and guess who they blame. I liked the film but I felt that the twist came too early and after it, the movie became less and less suspenseful.

hangover - soooo funny

Bride Wars

Anne Hathaway...only reason I watched it. Was decent!~

isn't it bride wars?

Sky Crawlers

At theater: Transformers 2. Good enough, a bit corny in some scenes. Visually orgasmic as usual.
At home: Smart People. Good overall. Dry, sarcastic humor. Reminiscent of movies like Dan in Real Life and Juno.

I finished watching Taken last night and I really liked it. The film was very precise and to the point just like the character Neeson plays. Also I was very happy that there was no twist at the end. And I just finished watching War and I didn't like it. It was very confusing, the twist was way too hard to believe and it didn't end with any impact at all. Also I was expecting a lot more action between Jason Statham and Jet Li which there was very little.

Idiocracy, funny movie

Watched Clerks II 3 times.

Commentaries~

21

Was ehh.... i have been in vegas enough times to pick that movie apart.

Clerks II

The Proposal... My gf dragged me to see it after I made her go see Star Trek! Even though she ended up liking it! lol

The hangover

The Hangover and Transformers 2 were fucking awesome, for entertainment purposes.

Then I watched Public Enemies...and thought it sucked horribly. Very boring...there just wasn't much to it. Albeit, it was based on a true story...but even so. I think the theatre had fucked up speakers too, because it was hard to hear a lot of the dialogue.

Watched the Orphanage, which I thouht was very boring, Gran Torino, which I thought was very good, and Public Enemies which I think is one of the ten best films I've ever seen. Might even go see it a second time.

I loved Orphanage <3 made me cry.

inb4Rob

mossy, you suck. the orphanage was great. why da inb4rob, neg?

Cuz I knew you'd be around to agree with me <3

Disney's Aladdin on DVD. Always highly entertaining; always a pleasure to watch.

The Funhouse - A complete waste of time. I am shocked that Tobe Hooper directed this crap. It was horribly acted, uninteresting, boring, and not even remotely scary nor shocking. I only recommend this film to people who are a fan of BAD eighties horror.

Disney's Aladdin on DVD. Always highly entertaining; always a pleasure to watch.

One of my favorite films also question
In your copy (I have both VHS and DVD), the Arabian Nights song at the beginning of the movie the lyrics are changed from:
"Where they cut of your ear, If they don't like your face" (This is on my VHS copy)
to
"Where it's flat and immense, And the heat is intense" (This on my DVD copy)

Can you confirm this? I heard some copies of the DVD where changed and some just left it?

I haven't heard of any copies where the song wasn't edited. I own a copy of the original edition soundtrack, though. Well, actually, I own both that and the special edition soundtrack. :D

Oh, so it isn't some then? Ok, I thought I heard it on my friends copy?
Must be me hearing what I wanted to hear... Haha!

I suppose it's always possible, but I certainly never heard anything about it and everything I've read says that the original version of the song was only in the original film in theaters and on the original soundtrack.

28 Weeks Later - I was surprised by how much I liked it because I had previously tried to watch it and was turned off by the camera work. But now I realize the jumpy camera work was there to give a sense of chaos throughout the film.

I saw Public Enemies on Sunday! I actually liked it! My only prob with it was that they didn't go a little more into the relationships with Dillinger and the other bank robbers, like how he despised Babyface Nelson or his friendships with the others!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Last night - 9:50 P.M. - 12:35 A.M. Wonderful stuff. Absolutely amazing. And highly amusing at times too. The stuff they're saying about it being the funniest of those films so far is spot-on. But as you would expect, very dark at times too.

If there's anybody here who still hasn't seen any of the Harry Potter films or read any of the books-- what are you doing?! We admire your principled stand or whatever-- but enough. We get it, or whatever, now you can stop denying yourself and go enjoy what everybody else already is.

I've never seen any HP film nor read any book and don't plan on it. And it's not because of some principled stand, I just have no interest in the little bugger.

HP isn't THAT great. i mean, it was good when i was like 10 but i am pretty much over it now.

I love me some Harry Potter movies! :)

I only read up to the fourth book.

Asamiya, sorry, but I call bullshit. When it is at its best, Harry Potter really is that great.


Dragons comprised entirely of green and gold sparks were soaring up and down the corridors, emitting loud fiery blasts and bangs as they went; shocking-pink Catherine wheels five feet in diameter were whizzing lethally through the air like so many flying saucers; rockets with long tails of brilliant silver stars were ricocheting off the walls; sparklers were writing swear words in midair of their own accord; firecrackers were exploding like mines everywhere Harry looked, and instead of burning themselves out, fading from sight or fizzling to a halt, these pyrotechnical miracles seemed to be gaining in energy and momentum the longer he watched.

"We won't be seeing you," Fred told Professor Umbridge, swinging his leg over his broomstick.
"Yeah, don't bother to keep in touch," said George, mounting his own.
Fred looked around at the assembled students and at the silent, watchful crowd.
"If anybody fancies buying a Portable Swamp, as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninety-three Diagon Alley -- Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," he said in a loud voice. "Our new premises!"
"Special discounts to Hogwarts students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat," said George, pointing at Professor Umbridge.

meh, i've read better books. not saying HP is bad, just saying that there are better books/series out there, for example, the his dark materials trilogy by philip pullman. also, the magic in hp sucks. charmed magic is better :P

(you got the name wrong btw)

Oops, sorry Anyname. I haven't read His Dark Materials yet, though I do plan to. I have read all of the following and enjoyed them-- The Inheritance Cycle, The Bartimaeus Trilogy and the Molly Moon series.

oh man, do it please. it's such a great series. quite possibly my favorite set of books. lol, look at agent,all fast and replying to stuff almost instantly.

I Love You Man.

Hilarious! Slappin' teh basssss~

I watched The Haunting in Connecticut again and I love it. Nowadays, since I have Netflix, I rate most films with the five star system they have: one star = you hate it, two stars = you didn't like it, three stars = you liked it, four stars = really liked it, five stars = you loved it. And initially I rated this a four and for the film I still do, but with all the great added features like two feature length commentaries and great featurettes, I'm bumping it up to a five.

Haunting In Connecticut was really good? I've seen the commercials on TV, but I've been wondering about whether I should buy the DVD. A lot of horror movies today aren't that good as I would like them to be.

The last movie I saw was Labor Pains, this really stupid, predictable movie on ABC Family >.< Never again!

Yeah, ABC Family original movies are hit or miss, mostly miss. Occasionally they manage to create something decent, but it's a fluke.

[Rec] - It was amazing the first time I saw it online months back and it's amazing now on dvd. Sony took their sweet time releasing the original though. The film is such beautiful chaos and a complete thrill. Plus the ending is one the creepiest sequences in any horror film out there. I can't wait to see [Rec] 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0-gVB-U5is).

Except not...

A spammer, and horrible taste. MEGA ULTRA FAIL.

My Sister's Keeper!
Once again my GF dragged me to yet another Chick flick! Don't worry, I'm keepong score, and when something comes out that she doesn't want to see, I will drag her to see it!!! lol

The movie was okay -I must say, they're were lots of typical chick flick cliches, but it did keep my interest going throughout the movie! I did however kept teasing my GF by saying, "See, typical Chick" at everything the women did in the movie! lol

Coraline - While the film is beautifully done and the music is superb and fits the film perfectly, the story is lacking. There's not much about the film that's exciting or humorous and the everything ends up being very predictable and somewhat boring.

Tonight I watched Quantam of Solace because it was the last night I have the huge motherfuck of a TV before my old roommate comes and gets it tomorrow morning. And it was pretty good, but being a big time lover of Casino Royale I was a little disappointed that this film didn't blow me away like that one did. Even though this movie's story focused on emotions and revenge etc., the characters felt a lot colder and unrelatable than those in CR. I loved most of the fight scenes though, and especially the editing of the Opera house section and the final showdowns.

I bought a Robert Redford DVD compilation last week and watched two of the films; Indecent Proposal, absolute shit, and Barefoot in the Park, absolutely charming and wonderful. I still have The Great Gatsby to watch but I want to get and read the book before I see it.

Beaches was on at a friends' house the other night, but we were drinking and playing pool and chatting etc through most of it, even though I really wanted to watch it. I bought it on DVD the day after so I'll sit down to watch it sooner or later.

Did you cry? I think I'm gonna cry like a motherfuck when I see that one.

Beowulf last night - it was alright, about as good as I thought it was going to be.

i watched v for vendetta for the first time last night. it was... really good, actually.

thought provoking movies like that kill me though. i was in a really somber mood for the rest of the night. like, if i was eevee (or however you spell her name, i'm just going with the pokemon spelling) i for sure wouldn't have been able to go through with it. 'cause i'm weak. also, i probably would have ripped off his mask, or whatever, and made out with his corpse, because he sounded really hot.

but anyway, i wish the dialogue in real life was like the dialogue in movies like that. good stuff.

I'd jump Agent Smith's bones, too.

Did you cry? I think I'm gonna cry like a motherfuck when I see that one.
No, it was and it wasn't sad! If you've been through or had someone close to you go through cancer and cemo treatments, it'll really hit home like it did my GF! It's one of those stories were things aren't what they seem, and slowly connect to the really big picture! In terms of storytelling it's okay, not really that original, but it does keep your interest going. One thing though, it seems like they really went out of there way to cover all the "Chick Flick" bases on this one!

In all, I recommend seeing this one only if you like chick flicks, or be reminded of the struggle of going through cancer and cemo, or you really want to score major brownie points from your GF by showing her your "sensitive" side! lol

24: Redemption extended edition on DVD. Great to watch with the additional footage. Watched most of the bonus features, but still need to finish the commentary.

Watchmen: The Director's Cut: Maximum Movie Mode

The pinnacle of blu ray technology :p

Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone.
Renaissance (Paris 2054)

Beaches the other night. Didn't choke me up like I though it would have, but I loved it! Bette Midler is awesome, her charisma is inescapable, and I loved her "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today" section. I wish there was more of the two main characters as children though, since I thought they were so so cute and hilarious in those opening scenes.


Watchmen: The Director's Cut: Maximum Movie Mode

My last movie was Bruno, very funny. I had often loud laugh.

My last movie was Bruno, very funny. I had often loud laugh.

I saw it today. Jesus Christ, were my sides asplittin'

Yesterday, I saw both Transformers: Rise of the Fallen, & The Taking of Pelham 123. Damn, they were really tight. And it is rare
when I watch the movies that I attempt to see two in one day. The last time I did that, I watched both Fast and Furious, & X-
Men Origins: Wolverine.

Green Lantern: First Flight - I'm surprised that Green Lantern took this long to get the animated film treatment knowing how much of a wealth of story potential there is within. The story is epic, the action is heart-pounding, the humor is great, and the imagination is limitless with the powers of Green Lantern. Though there were some scenes where I felt the animation wavered and Green Lantern's origin was a bit too condensed for my tastes, but besides these two minor flaws, it is by far my favorite DC animated film so far.

The Messengers 2: The Scarecrow - I'm sure most people won't give this film a chance since it's a straight to dvd prequel but it is actually quite decent. The acting, cinematography, music, and pacing is very well done. And while the scarecrow is quite effective as merely an idol, when it becomes a monster, it's quite laughable. And I would like to commend the casting choice for the great Richard Riehle. To be honest, he was the main reason I watched this.

Knowing - I was surprised I liked it since the trailer didn't interest me much. It was slick, action-packed, and though-provoking. The ending was odd and a bit of a let down since... I like unhappy endings much more.

Halloween - The Rob Zombie 2007 remake. I finally got to see this last night, and I was pleasantly surprised at what it had to offer. Of course, I have never seen the original (shocking, I know), so I can't compare the two. I really like the beginning of the movie, and the young actor that plays Micheal Myers as a child was perfect! I hope we see him in more movies (he was also in Hancock). The way he brought out Micheal's psychopathic behavior, without having to speak a word was amazing, especially during the killing scenes. Can't wait to see Halloween II.

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama - A b-movie about an imp that tortures a group of college kids in a bowling alley in the middle of the night. While I didn't expect much in terms of acting, sfx, or story from this one, what I did expect and what I got in return was pure fun. And the main reason I watched it was for the infamous Linnea Quigley and she did not disappoint.

iFight Shelby Marx.

Honestly meh. Probably the worst iCarly related thing I've seen. It's a shame since this thing has been hyped nonstop since I started watching the show :(

i didn't see it but generally the movies aren't that great. the episodes are better, although igo to japan and idate a bad boy are ok.

jus got the watchmen on dvd i love it :P films im watchin now i like would be, whats eating gilbert grape, garden state, the lost boys, into the wild, blade runner and pans labyrinth, i love all movies any ideas for me id love to hear them i try to broaden my horizons on everythin :)

The television version of The Shining. It was actually filmed in the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO which is what the story was based off of in the first place.

watchmen

Vantage Point - This was such a great idea for a film. It was well-thought out and well played. The action was built up well and the performances were spot-on. And the controlled chaos that was the beginning of the film became pure chaotic action by the end.

Graduation Day - I was pleasantly surprised by this 80s slasher. It was well filmed and edited with great psychological turmoil represented in the film. There were certain scenes that I felt were reminiscent of Argento's camerawork as well as scenes from Carrie. The deaths for the most part are the weak point of the film but most slashers have implausible deaths which are simply fun to ridicule. And it was interesting to see an early performance from scream queen Linnea Quigley as Dolores. Recommended to all slasher fans.

Okay, so I've joined the group of people who have watched Coraline. I watched the DVD earlier this evening. Very, very, very weird film, though I quite liked it on the whole. Not enough, though, for me to bother listening to the composer/director commentary track. Oh, and I tried to watch it in 3D, but gave up about halfway through. I wear prescription eyeglasses and for those of you that don't have to wear them, you cannot know how uncomfortable it is to try to wear both those and a pair of 3D glasses.

And then there are those of us who cannot see 3D at all...

I'm thinking of watching Metal Gear 4.

I see what you did there.

I know Im a hypocrite for saying this...
I saw G.I. Joe!
My friend dragged me to go see it!
As I said, it was craptacular!!!
BUT...
I did somewhat like it -I know I should be shot for saying so- I guess cause I had such low expectations for it, that I set the bar so low that it exceeded all my expectations for it!!!
The story was crappy, but I did like how they set up the formation of cobra! I tried so hard to leave my fanboy thoughts of perfection, but once they screwed with so many details with what made the characters who they were, i just couldn't resist but to tear it up!!!
In the end, I'd probably check out the sequel if they made it, just to see if more of my fave characters are brought out, such as: Bazooka, Roadblock, Dusty, Shipwreck -with a name like Hector X. Delgado and being from Chula Vista CA, he was the token mexican!!! lol-, Junkyard & Mutt, and Spirit & Freedom!

Horsemen. And it was soooooo cliche. I figured out the antagonist in the middle of the movie, and its supposed to be a detective movie.

The Foot Fist Way. I dug it. Chuck the truck! Chuck the truck!

I Love You, Man - Funny, funny movie. I got to watch it first with my friends and it's much better that way (sharing it with your Bro Namaths). It has a great concept for a comedy: guy is going to get married but doesn't have a good enough friend to call his best man so he must search one out. And the cast is one of the best with Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Jon Favreau, Thomas Lennon, and the list goes on. And one thing I loved about it is the comedy isn't vulgar or shocking, it's purely conversational comedy much like The Office.

jaws

Tourist Trap - A nice hidden horror gem starring Chuck Connors and Tanya Roberts. There's a good creep factor, decent acting, music, and special effects. I gave it a 3 out of 5 on Netflix.

I think 'Bolt' or 'Enchanted' was the last movie I watched. I just can't remember which came out first. I was going to see 'Up' as well, but my friends picked a bad date...

I wanted to see G.I. Joe but I ain't paying $10 at the movie theater.

Me, Myself & Irene

Still my favorite Jim Carrey comedy. It's over the top in pleasant ways, emotionally poignant when it needs to be, and you know wars between parts of one person's psyche are near and dear to my heart <3

Watched The Class the other night. So well-made, it did a great job of creating the love/hate relationship between students and teachers. I really want to track down the book so I can see which parts are true and not. Also, one of the 'skank' girls was sooooo ugly.

Went to see the new Harry Potter last night and thought it was alright, my favourite of the films so far is still OotP. I can't really remember a great deal from this book so a lot of the time I was trying to remember if certain parts actually happened or not. Had some great action, especially the battle outside the Weasley's house (Lupin's only scene! wtf) and Dumbledore twirling the fire like whoa. I love that they had a lot more Draco and Snape than previous films. After that I bought a poster of The Class for two bob!

And today I watched Watchmen for the 7th time.

The Island - I almost liked this movie. The first half of it was the best part where it introduced a very intriguing concept, but the action-packed second half completely turned me off with its implausible action sequences and large amount of product placement.

District 9. Liked it mostly.

What is this District 9? I have never heard about it?

It's the better sci-fi film that replaced Peter Jackson's Halo.

It revolves around oppressed aliens stranded on Earth and a government man that comes to sympathize with them after being exposed to some alien biological agent. It's an interesting docudrama to start, though the latter half is filled with summer blockbuster violence. It's modern day setting so it's not very sci-fi besides a few aliens and their tech.

The Tigger Movie. Not anywhere near the most entertaining or engaging of the Pooh films to be sure, but still reasonably decent. I checked out the 10th Anniversary Edition from the library, though I'm pretty sure I've watched the original DVD release before and I don't think there's much on this one that wasn't on that one. Other than the second disc with a digital copy, which wasn't included in what I checked out anyway.

The Departed - Lots of 'fucks', sluts, and blood. Loved it.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop - Wasn't as funny as it should have been and left me unsatisfied. A few chuckles along the way but nothing that made my sides hurt.

Pineapple Express

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

House of Wax (2005) - Despite what most people think of this movie, it was actually a fun watch. The sfx were decent and it was never boring. I would have appreciated some nudity and the ending was completely inane and made no sense, but overall it was just okay.

Ghostbusters.

It's Ghostbusters, man.

Ooh! I saw that on youtube today! XD

That's where I watched it. Gonna see if all the parts of II are up there.

Let me know if they are. =P

Looks like it. I'm gonna grab a drink and dive on in~

Silent Hill

So damn good because it isn't actually bad <3

BBC America / WGBH's Oliver Twist. Well, I suppose it was really more of a TV mini-series, but it was presented on DVD as basically a continuous film. Good stuff. I was interested in it because it had Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew - Harry Potter series) in it.

Beowulf & Grendel, and for once a movie was made to follow the original tale as closely as it possibly could. I still like the 13th Warrior more for it's realistic telling of the Beowulf story, but Beowulf & Grendel is much better than that CGI movie that was made.

Inglourious Basterds, thought it was surprisingly good. Probably my second favourite film of the year behind Public Enemies.

I really, really want to see Inglourious Basterds. That, and District 9.

Last movie I saw was Tropic Thunder...again. I like it alright, but I don't think it was as great as many made it to be.

I liked Tropic Thunder okay, but then I do love RDJ, my favourite actor easily. Can't wait for Sherlock Holmes to be released.

I'd like to see District 9 too but my local cinema hasn't gotten it in because it's a pretty bad cinema. The amount of films it's denied me seeing, the amount!

Outrage! Stage a protest.

RDJ is my favourite part of the entire film. He's the only reason I sat down and watched in the first place, really.

Inglorious Basterds was indeed very good. I know Tarantino considers it his masterpiece, but I have to say I think Pulp Fiction is still king there. Mainly, I think some characters went a little underused, particularly many of the "basterds" themselves, but I don't have many other gripes at all.

Just saw Transporter 2.

Man, that was ridiculous. Stunts were nice, but it was a pretty horrible movie IMO. I was still entertained tho.

Jesus. That movie really is fucking ludicrous.

So. A bomb is on the underside of his car right. He drives around forever, somehow flies the car through the air towards a random crane, and just happens to hit the hook with the exact spot the bomb is on, ripping it off, and assuring his safety! And he doesn't die on the way down either! WOOOOOOOO

Yes, exactly! Lol.

Couldn't he just have gotten out of the car, bent over, and taken it off?

Jason you puzzle me with your ridiculous and pointless stunts that make me go "WTF?! Lolz"

Silent Hill

So damn good because it isn't actually bad <3

I'm currently watching this right now because I have become so obsessed!

Should join the Silent Shriners~

I really should! Oh poor Rob ~

#12

I'm honored! xD

Welcome

fuck you all right in the ass >:O

War of the Worlds

The Hangover! Finally. It was fucking hilarious, I loved it.

I havn't seen it yet but I plan to. Do you know when it comes out on DVD (if it hasn't, yet)

Silent Hill

So damn good because it isn't actually bad <3

I really liked this movie.

Alien vs. Predator - The story really felt pointless and by the end if felt like a buddy cop movie more than anything. The action was pretty nice and it was suspenseful at points, but there wasn't much else.

The Last House on the Left (2009) - Another re-imagining I didn't expect much from except prettier faces and less violence, but it actually does pretty well. For those of us who have seen the original, it's nice to see that things don't play out the same in this one, so there's more suspense later in the film. The casting is well done, especially the choice of Sara Paxton for Mari Collingwood who looks like the innocent girl-next-door we all know and love. As I have seen the original, I knew something terrible would be happening to her at some point in the film, and I cringed at the thought of it. The pacing is also done well for the story establishes the killers right away and then the victims (both relative terms in this movie), while we all anticipate the crossing of their paths. The violence was tastefully done yet still shocking IMO as the filmmakers went along the lines of "what we imagine is more terrible than what is seen". Though there was one scene in the original that I was disappointed didn't make it into this one, and I think we all know which one I'm talking about, especially the men. But alas the ending didn't do it for me. It felt unnecessary, over-the-top, and completely implausible which made it laughable. While this version is good, I still recommend the original to this one.

Just finished watching 2046 on loan from the local public library. Little slow in getting where it was going, but I was pleased when it got there.

Last film I saw in the theater was District 9. Highly recommend it. It sort of lapses into more traditional movie-mode in the second half, but it executes it much better than most Hollywood movies (which have become terrible parodies of themselves), and the first half was really well done.

And even though it isn't relevant, the film I saw before that in theaters was Ponyo. Not sure where I would place it among Miyazaki's canon, but it would be somewhere in the top half. Lovely animation.

"HAAAM!"

End of Princess Protection Program

Inglourious Basterds, without a doubt Tarantino's best yet, though I agree with Ktulu that a lot of the Basterds didn't get the screentime they deserved. I simply loved each and every scene. And some girl was throwing up next to my friend right after it ended!

Adam, I wanted to love this movie so much but there were so many parts that kept annoying me. Mainly Rose Byrne and Peter Gallagher, but also the music in parts, and simply the fact that it's just a romantic comedy when it could've been so much more. I'd still recommend seeing it.

A Very Long Engagement. So much better than Amelie, IMO. I thought this was like a better version of Atonement, even though it's older than that film, and I love that film too. Without trying to sound silly, I felt like I had been strangled with emotion by the end of it.

Hoping to see the September Issue this week!

Empire of the Sun, which is still an awesome movie in my eyes. I didn't even realise that it was Christian Bale the first two times I watched it, but he did an amazing job, and especially considering how young he was at the time.

The Wrestler.

Teared up a bit. *sniff*

Role Models. It was meh.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Absolutely love this movie, I used to be much more obsessed with it when I was younger.

I could never get into that movie, don't mean to offend but I don't see anything great about the movie?

Is something wrong with me?

Well, it's 97% fresh, so consider yourself one of the 3%. Or 7%, if you consider the RT community, which gives it 93% fresh.

Last night I watched The Little Mermaid on my Platinum Edition DVD that I own. I think it's only my first or second time watching a film in full screen (and by fullscreen I mean wide screen-- as in filling the entire monitor) on my new monitor and with my new computer. The look of the film is brilliant. Truly a joy to watch. For those that saw my comments about Emperor's over in the other thread-- that's one of the reasons why it's not a new top favorite. I didn't see the animation as being anything spectacular. Mermaid, on the other hand, well...








And the music and songs... amazing.

I LOVE the Little Mermaid! When I was younger my mother had recorded it on VHS and I would rewind it as soon as it finished just to watch it again...


Ah good times.

Labyrinth (yet again!)

Yes, the Little Mermaid is a true classic. One of the first movies I remember.

The House Bunny. predictable but totally charming and adorable so it works.

I Love You Man, it was alright, had it's funny parts, but I kinda grow weary of romantic comedies ( because of the romance being so lame).

Actually it was My Bloody Valentine and Dragon Ball.

MBV sucked so bad I'd rather be someone who was killed in the movie than watch it again.

Dragon Ball... Ever since I was a kid I wished I could ride clouds or change into monkeys.

I rented Watchmen and I liked it but wish it wasn't so long.

Needs to be much longer. And, it will, in December :D

Really??

Sunshine Cleaning - While this film is endearing and heartfelt at moments, it tends to meander quite a bit and doesn't have much of a climax nor a satisfying resolution. Also the film starts too quickly and I felt it could have done with a little more time getting to know the characters in the beginning before they started Sunshine Cleaning.

Really??

Yeah, baby. Black Freighter re-insertion, ftw.

Oh my! I think the Watchmen movie is winning my heart.

Push - meh, bad acting by Dakota Fanning.

In Bruges - hilarious, constant laughs till near the end.

Adventureland - horrid movie with horrid actors except Ryan Reynolds and Bill Hader

District 9! I loved it. It was so absolutely different, nothing that I expected it to be.

Just finished watching "The Duchess". I'm a huge fan of period movies, and this one was acceptable.

Ichi the Killer - I actually expected the film to be much weirder than it is. The gory torture and slaughter scenes are great. I love how Miike captures the manga feel throughout the entire movie, not just in the death scenes. The unorthodox cinematography makes this possible. The film also contains great humor and an amazing soundtrack.

The September Issue - really good, Anna Wintour doesn't seem like the bitch she's cut out as, it's mainly all just interpreted like that. It didn't go as in-depth as I would have liked, which I think is because of its short run-time. For people who liked The Devil Wears Prada or are into journalism or fashion.

Just watched another period movie, and it was called "Lady Jane". It was Helena Bonham Carter's first movie, and she did an amazing job. Terribly tragic story, though.

Just finished watching "A Bugs Life". Needed a few good laughs and this provided. Tempted on watching "The Rescuers" or "The Rescuers Down Under".

Surveillance... Wow..I know i liked it, but not sure i can compare it to anything... Maybe the Strangers meets Twin Peaks...

Film by David Lynch's daughter

Waltz with Bashir... so good, original and the closing shots left me moist-eyed and breathless. I need to find a copy ASAP.

Just finished watching "A Bugs Life". Needed a few good laughs and this provided.

You have to bug Neg about it now

Saw Inglorious Basterds. It exceeded my expectations, that's for sure. I thought the premise was terrible before I actually saw the movie, but Quentin managed to pull it off. Some great acting all around (particularly the fellow that played Landau and Pitt).

I have been watching a lot of old movies the last few days, just this weird mood I was in I guess but the last one I watched was 2001: A space odyssey...what a weird ending.

You have to bug Neg about it now

If he wants to lose an eye...

If he wants to lose an eye...

This sounds interesting. Is there a story involved? XD

Not really. Just me being cranky.

SURPRISE, SUR-FUCKING-PRISE.


Hint: it's in the TF thread.

Mongol - just over an hour ago - it was epic!

clue

Sole Survivor - 1983 horror flick in the same frame of mind as Carnival of Souls and Final Destination where a woman is the sole survivor of a plane crash and then is hunted down by undead harbingers of death. It was rather refreshing to see a 80s horror movie that didn't involve horny teenagers and actually took itself seriously for once. I felt the film was shot, paced, and acted well for such a low budget movie. It was creepy and subtle which was a nice change of pace from most in-your-face horror films of today. Other than the flat ending, it was a pretty good watch.

Factotum - Matt Dillion led indie flick about a failed/struggling writer. It was pretty good (I like indie movies so I'm a little biased) plus Marisa Tomei was in it and she's foxy. It's slow but solid.

Saw District 9 today, thought it was awesome. Wikus is probably my favourite film character of recent times! The shots of the alien station hovering above Johannesburg were so disturbing, they looked that genuine. And the baby alien, so fucking adorable!

I watched Hannibal Rising tonight, always enjoy the Hannibal stories and this one was OK. Silence of the Lambs is one of my favourite films of all time so it would be great if the susbsequent were able to live up to it, but I'm satisfied with the way they all add to the mythology of the character. The samurai subplot was silly though. Gaspard Ulliel is a dream

Wikus is great. I like that they didn't stick him into one typical archetype, he's kind of fickle and that actually makes him more believable to me. That's how people fucking are. Emotions can turn on a dime. One minute you're self serving, one minute caring and sentimental, blah blah.

Saw Extract - not bad. Slow, subtle humor though, it's not something you're gonna howl through. I'm not sure it's gonna be some huge hit out of the box, but will probably find it's audience along the way.

Oddly, I was the youngest person at my screening by...I'd guess 40 years. Nothing but a bunch of old couples in there. Ooooold couples. Was this only advertised on CBS or something? I'm no AGEIST but I just didn't figure this movie to be the type to draw the old folks.

Maybe it was just cos it was the early showing?

I love how he started off really sweet and funny and you could tell he was starting to lose it during the relocation part. The scene where he was being forced to use the alien weapons by the scientists was heartbreaking, the actor did an incredible job there

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!! I just watched The Goonies

I watched The Midnight Meat Train w/ my friends.

Adventureland. Very...poorly advertised movie. It's not much of a comedy at all. It's a drama with a few quietly witty moments, at best. Main characters were very dry and boring as well. Meh.

Watchmen - Honestly, I have nothing to complain about it. I played it a few minutes at first just to see and it was hard to push stop. I enjoyed the R rating and all that came with it and much of the cinematography (especially the opening credit sequence) reminded me of the artwork of Alex Ross. A nice change of pace to see another side (sex, violence, cursing) to the comic book movie genre especially when it's as expertly done as this is.

Rewatched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on DVD. A better installment of the Harry Potter films than many give it credit for. Good bonuses too.

Agent0042:Im waiting until they release the ultimate editions so I can buy 'em.
So far Amazon has listings for Year 1 (http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Sorcerers-Ultimate-Blu-ray/dp/B002GJT4XW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252346232&sr=1-11) & Year 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Potter-Chamber-Secrets-Ultimate-Blu-ray/dp/B002GJT4YQ/ref=pd_bxgy_d_img_b)
They are not out yet, only for pre-order.

I didn't know there was such a thing. I started buying with the third one and I intend to keep buying for both Half Blood Prince and the final two Deathly Hallows, but yeah, I do like the look of those.

The Mist - the Stephen King movie. Really good :)

Valkyrie - I liked it for it's great cast and production value but it could have had more action and less phone calls. It just didn't have the impact I thought it would.

Red Eye - absolutely love this movie!

Crank 2: High Voltage, 2nd time w/ friends.

Shrek. It was on television earlier today, and I had nothing better to do with my time. While I did enjoy it, that movie always leaves me on a bittersweet note...

I saw District 9 today over Inglourious Basterds, and I regret that. The main thing I didn't like about the movie was that I didn't like the main character at all so it was hard for me to root for him.

At the cinema - Blues Brothers (they've been reshowing classic/older films)
At Home - The Spirit

Strange Days.

How did I miss this gem? It's one of the best films I've seen since Children of Men. Brilliant.

District 9...5 out of 5. :)

Funny People. I thought it was a brilliant film

Walled In (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0djhLbXw68) - The initial premise for this movie is what made me watch it in the first place, not Mischa Barton, who, while watching the film, I just couldn't put my finger on where I had seen her until I looked her up. The OC of course, a show I've never seen nor desire to. The premise reminded me a bit of Tobe Hooper's Toolbox Murders which I have a slight fondness for so I tried this one out, and I'm sorry I ever did. For an hour and a half movie, it moved extremely slow, the acting was atrocious and laughable, even Deborah Kara Unger's performance surprised me as being sub-par. The story is filled with plot holes which make the film hard to watch and understand. The film is filled with cliche including the sometimes creepy, but here just annoying, whispering young ghost girl voice. I do not recommend this film to anyone, even fans of The OC.

Fanboys. I was worried that it would totally suck, but surprisingly it was actually at least mildly entertaining. Think I'll watch the bonus features, but take a pass on the commentary track.

[REC]2 At the Toronto International Film Festival

It blew me away easily as good if not better than the first. Scary,good acting,great script. its very much like aliens in that its a sequel to the first picks up 5 mins after first ended yet doesnt tread on the firsts territory oh and this time its war

Its not going to get a theatrical release but buy the dvd best horror flick of the past few years

[REC]2 At the Toronto International Film Festival


Lucky motherfucker

And on that note, the last movie I saw was the remake of [REC], Quarantine and it was quite terrible. Now, being a fan of the original Spanish film, I compared everything to it. First of all, the movie is not a complete shot-for-shot remake, there are some different scenes here and there that are quite nice, but it doesn't make up for the rest of the film. Also the film feels slow compared to [REC] and this is because of the editing. They linger too long when they should be cutting. Another thing I didn't like was the darkness. This made it feel like they were in some cheap haunted house, it didn't add to the scares, it just made it harder to see. Now, I loved Jennifer Carpenter in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, but in this film she fails. She plays the character too weak and whiny. The original actress of Manuela Velasco played it so strong that she could hold her own against the male actors. And the ending scene of the original is probably one of the scariest and creepiest things in horror film history, but in Quarantine it is rushed and third-rate. Anyone planning on seeing this should just go see [REC] and forget about this movie.

i agree i saw quarantine before [rec] and it wasnt that bad. but when i watched rec i was amazed that A) its completely superior B) it was still scary even though i knew what happens

9

The characters were neat (yay, numbered!) but the story was slapshod and the actions scenes looked like they were directed by Michael Bay. I couldn't follow them for the life of me.

It was like "let's go back to the room!" but then all of sudden, they're off to kill the Machine, and we get a fake ending, and THEN they go to the room. That really annoyed me.

At least it wasn't super preachy like most movies of this sort. That's a plus. If the characters were used in a much better story it would be cool.

The Alphabet Killer - I'm a fan of most serial killer films and having not heard of The Alphabet Killings, I was intrigued. The film was well played out through the first half but I felt it failed more and more as it went on. And the ending was a bit abrupt and strange to me. The acting was the best part as Eliza Dushku's acting was great in this for she played a crazy woman extremely well and Cary Elwes and Timothy Hutton were a great supporting cast. Another thing I liked was the creepiness factor from the film. There were times when I would get chills from certain scenes. And there seems to be a major gripe for some who have seen the film. This is that the factual killings took place in the early 70s and the film blatantly uses recent technology such as cell phones and laptops in the movie, but the film never states that it takes place in the 70s, it's merely based on the killings, it is not a period piece.

Inglorious Bastards and District 9

Observe and Report - I basically expected OaR to be a rated R version of Paul Blart: Mall Cop, but it was so much more. While the film had comedic scenes that were shocking, my real surprise and attraction to the film were the dark and heartfelt scenes sprinkled throughout the film. Seth Rogen is a comic genius and he really created a unique character in Ronnie Barnhardt. I hope to see more from director Jody Hill.

Jack-O - An extremely low budget film starring Linnea Quigley about a lineage terrorized for ages by a cheesy looking monster with a pumpkin for a head. Everything about the movie screams BAD but it's actually a fun watch if you have a sense of humor.

Chica Boom 13.

Chica Boom 13.
LmAo!

The Dead Pit - An 80s zombie flick from director Brett Leonard (The Lawnmower Man) about an evil doctor who returns from the dead along with the undead patients who he experimented on. It's 80s horror so you can't really get mad at it, but it's not really much fun to watch either which can be the saving grace for a bad horror film. Though the dvd is surprisingly well prepared w/ four interviews from cast & crew along with a feature length commentary.

9. I liked it and hated it. There was just something that felt incomplete. . .but it did keep me entertain for the most part.

Journey to the Center of the Earth.
When the goal of the movie becomes to escape the center of the earth, and your protagonist turns and tells one of his associates to "JUST GO HOME!" - Followed by her doing so. Your plot just has too many holes.

Midnight - A strange flick from the co-writer of Night of the Living Dead about a group of Satanists who plan on sacrificing three young women on Easter Sunday. Even though it was filmed in 1982, the film still feels like it was made in the 70s with meaningless montages of characters walking through the woods, driving around, and playing frisbee while the same song plays over and over again. The pace and direction were terrible. For most of the film I had no clue what the plot even was or if there was some point to the whole matter. Acting is dismal while the dialogue is over explained and runs on far too long. The only real plus were the special effects done by master Tom Savini.

Prom Night (2008) - I was warned about this film being bad and they were right. It's probably the most cliche, uninspired, and predictable film, let alone horror film, I've ever seen. There's no gore, sex, nudity, nothing that makes it even remotely interesting or suspenseful. It's obviously marketed toward the WB crowd of adolescents who will probably eat this up. Anyone else should steer clear.

The Cannonball Run II

Great movie from the late 1980's, with a great cast. Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Sammy Davis Jnr, Dean Martin, Jackie Chan, Frank Sinatra, Jack Elam and many others... Some would call it a stupid movie or worse, myself I enjoy it as it's a fun movie. As the title song has in it's lyrics 'From sea to shiny sea', it's a race from one side of America to the other (Was inspired by a real race called The Cannonball Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, which the directed, Hal Needham, had participated in), and with the thirty big name stars in the cast, with 'goofball disguises and souped up vehicles', it's a fun enjoyable movie I'd recommend to anyone.

Continuing with Disney movies-- The Great Mouse Detective. Nothing stellar, nothing spectacular, but a decent and fairly enjoyable bit of film.

Day of the Dead (2008) - Remake of the Romero classic, DotD takes place in a quarantined town on the verge of a zombie outbreak. The film had nice suspenseful moments, but overall was marred by bad acting (especially from Nick Cannon) and bad sfx. And there were some strange occurrences that had me scratching my head such as zombies crawling on ceilings and walls as well as most of the film taking place during the nighttime, despite the title.

Total Recall, one of the Schwarzenegger's greatest and goriest.
I love it, first time I saw it was in elementary school, I guess it's the first ultraviolent movie I've ever seen.

Dragon Ball Evolution...hated it u.u

Last movie I saw was once of the only movies (that I know of) that have been made fully using rotoscope technology. Fire And Ice, by Ralph Bakshi.
Great looking movie, I cried when I saw it when I was under the influence by different substances. Of course when I wasn't I didn't cry because it was beautiful, but it looked pretty awesome.
Though plotwise it was pretty generic, these guys go here, they go there, here and there. There and here.

Anyways, everyone should watch it just for the animations sake.

National Lampoon's Vacation - I remember loving this film when I was younger but it didn't hold up as well as I thought it would in this day and age. The comedy is slow-going at first, but it picks up as they get farther down the road. Also a surprising amount of nudity from a young Beverly D'Angelo which was a plus.

The Children of the Corn television remake. Awful.

Zombieland. Pretty fun movie but has a few slighty dragging bits.

Zombieland.
Yeah, it has some dragging bits, but it was funny enough to make up.

Dark Country. I like Thomas Jane, but this film makes very little sense to me. Maybe it's one of those plots you have to dissect afterwards to enjoy. I hate those.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End - A surpringsly good horror film. Even gave me 'nightmares' (in quotes b/c it wasn't actually scary, heh, just contained the mutants from the film), which never happens with horror movies anymore. I must check out the first one now.

Boardinghouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uDzkfrxg5k) - Supposedly a spoof on horror films of the times, this shot-on-video film is about a young man with telekinetic powers who inherits a house with a history of mysterious deaths and turns it into a boarding house for beautiful and unattached young women. The movie is complete crap but it isn't boring and can be entertaining at times.

Just watched The Brothers Bloom. It's written and directed by Rian Johnson, the same guy who did the movie Brick. It's pretty much exactly the sort of movie I like.

That's the film I plan to watch tonight. I haven't seen Brick yet, but I plan to watch it on Netflix. The real reason I'm seeing it is because Rian was one of the editors on my favorite film, May and I try to follow all contributors from the film's careers. Which also includes The Brothers Bloom's director of photography, Steve Yedlin, who also worked on Brick.

The Brothers Bloom - A tall tale starring Adrien Brody as a conflicted con man and Mark Ruffalo as his manipulative older brother. The film also stars Rachel Weisz as the beautiful yet naive mark and Rinko Kikuchi as the mysterious Bang Bang, demolitions expert. The story is beautifully written by the director Rian Johnson who lays out a crime (or con) caper where in the end everyone gets what they want. Since the main characters are con artists, I questioned everything as it might be part of some double cross, and while hard to decipher at times, it was a lot of fun. It's the kind of movie you want to watch again. There are many things done well, but to name a few they would be cinematography (Steve Yedlin), soundtrack, casting, etc, etc. I immensely enjoyed the playfulness and eccentricity of the characters, though I felt Bang Bang was a bit too apparent for my tastes, but maybe that was her part to play. I've been a fan of Rian Johnson ever since his editor work on May and it was nice to see some familiar names and faces in the mix such as Nora Zehetner (as Rose), EPK director Kevin Ford, and two nice 'thank you' credits for Lucky Mckee and Angela Bettis.

Surrogates, new movie with Bruce Willis. Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.

Okay, now what did you think of it?

Storm Warning.

It's amazing how fucked up humanity can be.

Zombieland.
Yeah, it has some dragging bits, but it was funny enough to make up.

My thoughts exactly

Sunshine Cleaning. I give it 2 stars, maybe 2 1/2 if I'm feeling generous. I certainly can't make any complaints about the cast, but the story felt like it could have used some work. I won't be watching again and won't be listening to the commentary track.
