Red Cliff. Deals with the battle of Red Cliff aka the battle of Chi Bi, from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Up in the Air. Depressing. :( But still a very good movie!

Box of Moonlight

Wild Hogs - This surprised me with how funny it was. Nice to see actors you don't usually see in comedy like Travolta, Macy, and Liotta. Ending was predictable but all-in-all laughed my ass off.

District 9 -- really good, but lacking in a number of ways.
Sherlock Holmes -- freaking awesome
Inglourious Basterds -- see above

The last movie I saw was '28 Days Later'.

Now, a noteworthy thing to mention; when last I watched it, I recall being very pissed-off about something, over half a year ago. Yesterday I felt the need to pop it in and give it a second chance, and this time I loved it. I don't know what it is, the story, the atmosphere, or the characters, but somehow this movie just won me over this previous time watching it. In fact, I could almost go as far as to say it's one of my favorites now. It's not just your typical shoot-em-up movie full of gore; I mean it does have its gory moments. But a lot of peoples' disappointment from this movie comes from the fact that it was initially advertised as this horrifically frightening movie that would leave viewers unable to sleep for weeks, and I admit that's what I bought it expecting. But when I watched it, so furious about whatever the hell, I wound up hating it because it wasn't what I was hoping for. I wanted something scary enough that it would take my mind off of whatever had upset me. But instead, this movie offers far more than just chilling action against fast-moving zombies (that have since been seen in various other media, from games to movies, imo making them a little less frightening) but instead focuses around the struggle between man vs. man. Its meaning is more than skin-deep. It gives the viewer something to really think about. And while I admit the characters aren't the most memorable, nor likable in all cases, but the climax is probably one of the greatest moments in a movie I've seen for some time. You find yourself cheering for the protagonist (whether he's lost his mind, or whether what he's doing is the right thing or not), and you begin to see the irony in the whole situation; an infection has turned scores of once-normal humans into mindless killers, but this bears little difference from 'the four weeks before that', where people were already killing people. You begin to sympathize with the infected (or at least I did). Now, the idea of this 'virus' simply being called 'rage' feels a little ridiculous at first . . . but somehow, it really couldn't have worked any other way. Those are just my thoughts.

But yes, that's the last movie I saw, and the novel I just wrote about it.

The Book of Eli. Pretty terrible.

it was? crap...

Whatever Works - I'm not really accustomed to Woody Allen's films, in fact this is the first film of his I've seen from start to finish, but it was enjoyable enough. Larry David was really the reason why I wanted to see this film, but I'd say I was more enamored with Evan Rachel Wood. Not only is she something to look at but she was the best actor in the film. Larry David played his role well enough but sometimes I felt like it was just a long episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And the dialogue felt too scripted much like a Kevin Smith film. Allen should have let David improvise a bit.

I love Woody Allen and Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, part of me wishes I was a Jew from Brooklyn and funny so I could be like their son, their love child, OR SOMETHING. Haven't seen that film though, so I've no real comment to make on it.

Watched Inglourious Basterds in August. Haven't been to the movies since.

I rewatched some PotC movies at home. My fave is Dead Man's Chest.

"Nudist Colony Of The Dead."

Could've used more tits.

Lol Avatar for the 4th time!

2nd time seeing Avatar for me :D

Lol Avatar for the 4th time!

dude you're gonna wear that movie out.

dude you're gonna wear that movie out.

Impossible!!

:D

I've actually memorized the entire dialogue from The Transformers: The Movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transformers:_The_Movie), from having watched 4 copies on VHS and 3 on DVD repeatedly over the years LMAO.

Anywayz... just finished watching Super Troopers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Troopers). Love that movie :D

Impossible!!

That's right!

Now that's what I call a real Transformers movie!

Final Fantasy The Spirits Within- been quite a while since i've seen that movie

Now that's what I call a real Transformers movie!

+10 rep

I just finished watching Iron Mang.

;)

Ideon ~ Be Invoked

An anime classic

Just finished watching Paranormal Activity and it was quite effective. At first it just felt like an episode of Ghosthunters where there's tons of setup and then oop I heard a bang, the end. But thankfully it progressed and increasingly freaked me out. Watched it alone and in my dark room which helped. And it basically is another version of The Blair Witch Project except that PA actually delivers on the scares. Though I enjoyed the alternate ending a lot more than the theatrical.

Saw The Last Legion yesterday, and it was okay. It's not quite as good as Kingdom of Heaven, or as thrilling as Gladiator, but still worth watching.

Role Models. i thought it was hilarious.

Cannonball Run II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Run_II). A classic.

Watched Garden State with a friend.

It...I seldom ever get tired of watching this movie.

Legion - Good action, terrible story, and decent acting from Paul Bettany. Also the ending was blah. I don't recommend it.

Lingerie Feature 1.

I saw Kung-Fu Hustle and Kung Pao.

Edge of Darkness on Friday night which surprised me by being pretty enjoyable and A Prophet on Sunday morning which I had high hopes for but was just alright.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail- first time i've seen it, found it pretty enjoyable

Labyrinth

Its been a while, still a classic

Last movie I saw was Dungeons & Dragons: The Elemental Might. Far better than the other one.

there were 3 or 4 others bro.

The Boy in The Striped Pajamas.

It...I seldom ever get tired of watching this movie.

BEEP BEEP RITCHIE!!

The Battle of Red Cliff. Fast becoming one of my all time favorites.

Avatar was the last movie which I have seen and I like the story as well as the effects of it

New Moon is also the last foreign movie which I have seen in theater and another local movie Ang Darling Kung Aswang

Legion

Bay of Blood - An interesting Bava classic about a series of murders committed in greedy pursuit of land surrounding a beautiful bay. Some nice nudity and gore, but the ending is puzzling.

A Scanner Darkly

Twice. Making up for lost time.

Thrice, now.

Sherlock Holmes- I quite liked it

Hannibal Rising- took a trip to Atlanta GA and went to one of those drive in theaters.......that's been quite a while ago.......

Swordfish. I've never actually been able to watch this movie from start to finish, due to either the phone ringing, friends being dickheads when they come over or something else is on I want to watch and I choose that.

Not a bad movie.

The Invention of Lying. It was very funny in some parts, but very odd in others.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. I didn't quite like it as much as the Wrath of Khan, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. (I haven't really seen any of the Star Trek movies before First Contact and I'm trying to catch up.)

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Yeah I know I know, I live a sheltered life, he he he)

Sherlock Holmes, yo.

A Scanner Darkly

Twice. Making up for lost time.

Thrice, now.

One of my absolute favourites there and it sparked my love of all things RDJ.

Iron Man, for me, but yes it was a stellar performance! Barris can wire my house any day of the week~

Have you heard his album? Magnificent.

Have you heard his album? Magnificent.

Heard it a while back aye, it's pretty good I'd say. I saw an interview with him around Christmas and he says his son Indio's in a band and they're good, though he can't really say his son is rubbish, so.

10,000 BC.

Inglourious Basterds, wonderfully bloody, all my need were met

Love this movie.

Just watched Steve McQueen's Hunger, still recovering, actually. Perfectly shot and acted, everything. But brutal.

That's a film I mean to watch, Lukey. I've heard mixed things though, but given how close to the bone the 1981 hunger strike still is for many people from the north, myself included, it's always going to struggle to please everyone against that backdrop. I might even watch it this weekend now since you've put the idea in my head.

Anyhow, went to see the Wolfman last night, and actually thought it was pretty enjoyable. I don't think I've seen a really bad film so far in 2010, 2009 was wall-to-wall wank for the best part.

I watched Coraline about two days ago. it was a great film, but IMHO i dunno if i'd let my kids see it... it's kind of frightening.... not that i get scared and shit, but... well, i can't imagine letting my son or daughter watch it. they'd probably have nightmares for weeks.

Just finished watching this:



Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie, and it has King Monkey (Great Sage, Equal of Heaven, as he was also known in the late 1970's series, Monkey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_%28TV_series%29)), in it as well. A good martial arts adventure.

Alright, watched Hunger just now, incredibly powerful.

There are films I try to avoid watching (especially when other people are around) with regards the history of the North, the two Bloody Sunday films being a great case in point, because I get so upset watching them and have a tendency to cry. The scene in this when the RUC riot officers are drafted in and beat the prisoners took that being upset to a whole new level, though. I broke down, had to pause the film and go compose myself for a good five to ten minutes.

I don't think it was a perfect film, though, not by any means. I think the hunger strike itself was dealt with very quickly compared with the rest of the film and without any mention of the wider political and social implications the protest had, though that may have been an incongruous thing to do given how the story had almost been entirely told from within the confines of the Maze. Also, ten men died in the 1981 hunger strike, I don't think it's right that 9 of them are relegated to a footnote at the end.

I don't really want to say, or even know if I could say, whether or not I enjoyed it. However, any film that is able to elicit such an emotional reaction- and I concede that I'm highly susceptible to the content- is doing something very, very right.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury.

This can't be classed as a movie, it's a short 25 minute animation, but is based on a movie. If the name PETER CHUNG means anything to anyone here, he directed and did the character design for this. And, as usual his inimitable style shines through. Forget about that awful Riddick movie, because this is much better. Too short, though. Oh, and Keith David does one of the voices. :)

I'm glad I got you into watching it, Moss. I have to say, I thought it worked well that the real insight into the effects of starvation were kept to the final act of the film, since there was more to the story than simply the prisoners' condition during the strike. I've been hospitalised for severe dehydration before (obviously not to the extent that was seen here), so the vividness of those scenes was less than comfortable for me.

I also had to stop during the riot police scene, that was just far too much for anyone. I'm not as familiar with this whole issue as much as you are, obviously, though I think the movie relies on the audience having an idea of what was happening at the time. It's definitely made me want to learn more about it.

What did you think of the conversation between Bobby and the priest? I think I shed a tear or two during that one, especially when he's talking about his days as a cross-country athlete. Bobby's quote about his life being "a real life, not some theological exercise" was particularly powerful to me.

Now i a, watching asian movie its called Kung Fu Chef and I like it coz its funny ..I guess it helps that the main lead character is Barbie Xu which is one of my favorite

Yeah, it's a great scene, one of the best I've ever watched. Definitely liked the anecdote about the foal and how it summarised his position regarding the hunger strike. Though I think the whole conversation is fictitious it's still amazing on film.

No idea until I was Wikipedia-ing earlier that Bobby Sands is played by the same actor as the English lieutenant in Inglourious Basterds. Craziness.

The book is a good read.

I do want to read it, at some point.

I prefer the film actually, though there are more nice monologues in the book than in the film like about what a scanner sees and the cabinet door. Philip K. Dick's alright, A Scanner Darkly and the Man in the High Castle are both good reads, didn't really enjoy the first 50 odd pages of Ubik though but I reckon had I persevered I might have gotten into it, so.

I had no idea until halfway during the bar scene in Inglourious Basterds! I think his voice is to die for.

I read a biography of Phil K Dick. It was very interesting, explained the reasons for his split personality, and the schizophrenic nature of his works. The guy was a wacko.

I watched The Wrestler last night. First time seeing it. I don't generally like that hand held v�rit� style, but Rourke was totally watchable. The best, most heartfelt moments came when the Clint Mansell score crept in. The rest of the soundtrack was awful 80's big hair rock. Good film.

Baron Blood (1972) - Another horror from Mario Bava about a young man who inadvertently resurrects his murderous baron ancestor. The film moves very slow and while should have a good amount of gore for having 'Blood' in the title, actually is very limited in this regard.

The Wolfman (2010) - Heard some bad things going in to this and while there are some good moments like the gore and Emily Blunt, the film just didn't satisfy me. If done by a more skilled director it could have been something great, but it just felt like it was missing details.

I saw Shutter Island tonight, and it wasn't bad. The first half definitely promises a great climax that it never actually reaches. I also thought it would be a lot more thrilling/creepy.

Just watched District 9 for the first time. Not bad I guess.

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.


I found this one on my harddrive that I lent to my friend to put some music in. I guess he decided to provide me with some movies. This is... I liked it. It's grotesque and obnoxious and I enjoyed every minute of it. Haha ~

Clerks II.

I swear that film and Clerks just makes me want to work in some sort of retail job, which if you work in retail probably does sound kinda nuts. But I do anyway :D

Suicide Club (2001) - A very dark and disturbing J-Horror about an investigation into a series of suicides in modern day Japan. And I say dark as in dark comedy as I found a lot of the gore to be comical. I'm not sure if this was intentional or due to lack of budget. But when a woman preparing dinner for her family begins to chop through her own fingers without blinking an eye, it should be meant as funny, but you really need the stomach for it. Much of the film is symbolic and comments on the state of modern family traditions and the information age, specifically pertaining to the internet. It's something that needs to be truly watched repeatedly to understand. I once heard someone say that a lot of Japanese films are like poems (which is fitting since the director Shion Sono is also a poet), they're not to be understood by simply seeing the images, but by looking underneath at what they represent. This leads to a far from cognizant ending, leaving the viewer puzzled and wanting more.

Clerks II.

I feel you so hard on this, mang.

Red Sonia. Something about a warrior women kicking ass appeals to me... either that or I'm gonna get bitchslapped by my partner later on lol

That movie deserved an Oscar for the great acting.

Shutter Island..... Meh....

Movie was okay... But did not feel like a Scorsese flick. 6/10

Last movie I saw was The Hills Have Eyes,like this horror movie.

Jakob's Ladder, one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life...

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

I have to admit it's been a long time since I last saw it, so it was pretty much like watching it for the first time again. I liked it, it sure beats the hell of all the Twilight shit.

The last movie I saw was Amelie. Watch it quite often, love it

Pulp Fiction. YEAH!

Shutter Island - Powerful acting with amazing cinematography and editing. It's true that the ending was predicted early but I somehow think that was intended. It felt as though the psychological aspect and beautiful imagery were the most important intentions in the film.

Thanks for reminding me to watch that movie again.


Edge Of Darkness, Mel Gibson beating the crap out of people again YEAH!

Dead Snow - Norwegian zombie flick about a group of med students holed up in a cabin in the woods. Obvious references to Evil Dead. Just the idea of a Norwegian Nazi zombie movie sounded great to me but the first hour of the film felt like watching someone's vacation video as it was mostly scenes of the group having fun, drinking and being stupid. Also a serious lack of score that might have added any sort of creepy ambiance to the film. Instead the soundtrack was filled with Norwegian metal. On the plus side, there's a serious amount of blood and gore in the film, especially in the last 20 minutes or so. But overall it was simply an amateur attempt at filmmaking.

2012 After watching this movie last night Chile had an Earthquake & tremors arrived at my neighborhood.

Surrogates - At first reminded me of the Isaac Asimov science fiction murder mystery classic Robots of Dawn. The gross plastic sameness of the surrogates creeped me out but I wouldn't mind jumping around like Spider-Man from time to time in one of them. The story sucked me in initially and kept my interest enough to hold my attention to the end. Decent, not great.

Beauty and The Beast, starring Estelle Warren. I love her so much.

Resident Evil Extinction.

Inglorious Basterds

Last movie I saw was Hurt Locker. I believe that had the most awards. I decided to watch it cuz I was curious. And much to my dismay of war movies, it's actually decent. I really recommend it.

Aliens Special Edition. The best one in the Aliens series imo.

The Crazies. It's enjoyable enough, about what you'd hope for with these things.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Very nice to look at, story was just all right.

The Crazies. It's enjoyable enough, about what you'd hope for with these things.

Original or remake?

The new one.

Office Space, for the 4,876,436,126 time.

Irma Vep.

Maggie Cheung in a French movie. Interesting.

The Entity - A frightening account of a single mother raped by an unseen force. The film's high point were the performances and effective sound design though at times the music became a bother. The story starts off strong but when a group of parapsychologists decide to try and capture the force, it becomes laughable at times. It was hard to get to sleep after this one.

Fanboys.

'The Crow 3'

The last movie I saw was Alice in Wonderland yesterday.

Jaws. The original.

Warlock (1989) - I vaguely remember seeing this film in my childhood and I can see why I might have liked it when I was younger as it feels more like children's horror with campy cartoon-like gore and cheesy acting and plot. Though at times the film is endearing, the annoying main character, her childlike vocabulary and terrible special effects ruin what little I enjoy about it.

Terror Train (1980) - A typical slasher flick starring a young Jamie Lee Curtis. Also the surprising addition of David Copperfield, his only film credit to date. If you tend to watch enough slashers they all eventually blend together: a past tragedy, in this case a young college student pushed over the edge, a passage of time (3 years) and a chance for revenge in a isolated location (a moving train). Also a serious lack of sexuality for a train full of drunk college students.

El Secreto de sus Ojos (The Secret In Their Eyes)

Wow man, I love this film, I highly reccommend it.
Though it's slow at the beginning, it's a great film.

The Storm Riders.
Great asian martial arts fest, with Sonny Chiba as the villain (A role he plays very well). If you like martial arts movies, give this one a try.

Just watched Monsters, Inc. for the very first time. Lovely.

I finally saw Avatar. Amazing! But I was more entertained by Mr and Mrs Domestic Violence sitting a few rows behind me

Alien 3 Directors Cut. It was like watching a different movie. Gone is the dog, replaced by another creature. The newer cut is 138mins and the theatrical was 109 mins. But there are also scenes removed so the extra footage actually amounts to more than half an hour. 100 times better than it was before.

Avatar

I'm on a animated movie spree, and I just watched "Bolt", which was lovely. Going to watch "Coraline" tonight.

Crazy Heart. Jeff Bridges. Bittersweet.

Transmorphers.



... why? I have no idea....

:sigh:

Transmorphers.
... why? I have no idea....


That reminded me to those days that there's nothing on the T.V., You're bored, you don't want to watch anything you already did before, but you don't want to play a game either so you go to rent a movie & you see that there's nothing interesting, but you need to do something to kill your boredom, so you pick up anything.

The Box. Richard Kelly's latest.

About a happy but financially struggling couple who receive a box from a stranger, who offers them one million dollars if they press the button sealed within the box. The catch is that someone they do not know will die.

The Box. Richard Kelly's latest.


Isn't it based off an old Twilight Zone ep?

So very true...

Last movie I watched was the Kurt Russell movie Tombstone. Based off of the events in Wyatt Earp's life. Kurt was brilliant in the lead role, and Val Kilmer did a good job as Wyatt Earp's friend, ex-dentist turned killer, Doc. Holliday.

Isn't it based off an old Twilight Zone ep?

It's based on a short penned by Richard Matheson called "Button, Button", but yea, it was filmed before as a Twilght Zone episode. :) I haven't saw the TZ one.

Matheson also wrote the original novel of "I Am Legend". The book is very good. The film I didn't like.

Monsters vs. Aliens, and it was pretty awesome.

Avatar. All spectacle. Little substance. Turned it off after an hour.

Drag Me To Hell. Sam Raimi having a laugh. Funny is places. :)

Avatar must be seen in 3D. Without it, it might as well be Highlander.

Sherlock Holmes
Great Soundtrack, nice movie.

Matheson also wrote the original novel of "I Am Legend". The book is very good. The film I didn't like.

Have you seen The Omega Man?

Shanghai Noon

Have you seen The Omega Man?

Yea. :) Charlton Heston movie. The opening scene is great, as he drives about the deserted city. I'd recommend it if you like 70's films.

The same source text was also used in a 1964 movie starring the one and only Vincent Price, called "The Last Man on Earth". I haven't saw it yet. Would love to.

Wiki claims "George A. Romero has acknowledged the source material of The Last Man on Earth as an influence on his film Night of the Living Dead, remarking that he "basically had ripped [it] off from a Richard Matheson novel called I Am Legend."

Interesting. :)

The same source text was also used in a 1964 movie starring the one and only Vincent Price, called "The Last Man on Earth". I haven't saw it yet. Would love to.


I've seen it and would definitely recommend it.

Monsters vs. Aliens - The only thing that made me laugh in this film was Seth Rogen as B.O.B. Everything else was merely mildly amusing.

Airheads

In Bruges (2008) - In a Golden Globe winning performance, Colin Farrell plays a distraught hitman on the run. The acting is of course incredible from not only Farrell but the supporting actor Brendan Gleeson. The great writing comes through in the quirky little chit-chat spread out through the film in the oddest of times. The film contains loads of humor coupled with some nice action at the end. And while there are some nice twists and turns in the story there could have been a few less as it drags on at times.

Watched Public Enemies again but this time with friends. Still don't love it.

I found that movie pretty boring.

I watched Inglorious Basterds again.

The Usual Suspects. One of my all time favorite movies.

great page

"D.A.R.Y.L." (yup, I'm having an 80's goldies marathon week! ^^) It wasn't near as enjoyable as I remembered though, I ended disappointed kinda -- but will more than make up for it tonight with "The Goonies", he he.

Been to a few new movies lately. Legion, which was bollocks, Ondine, which was very good, and Green Zone, which was okay. Want to see Shutter Island too.

Monthy Python's The meaning of life, and The Life of Brian...

Really insane!! really...

Gangs of New York.

I'm doing a DiCaprio Marathon, next one. The Aviator

Contact.

It remains an incredible movie. I remember when I first saw it - it wouldn't too much to say that it actually changed how I view a lot of things.

Top Gun. Not a fan of Tom Cruise, but the movie is solid. Great 80's soundtrack and the aerial choreography with the F-14 Tomcats and other craft is superb.

Dantes Inferno, the animation.

It was good. It was worked on by different animation houses, so each chapter looked stylistically different. Some epic music too.

ConAir. Great movie.

Watched two.

Run, Bitch, Run. Bad grindcore mess that had one brutally funny kill, and a few nice camera angles but was not worth the time invested in it.

Planet Hulk. Marvel animation. An old idea, if you read comics you've read this story a hundred times, but it was executed with style. More violent than I'd anticipated. Very Good.

Equilibrium - An interesting take on the whole 1984 Big Brother theme including a moral jab at the effect of anti-depressants, at least that was my idea of it. From the start I could really sense a lack of budget but this didn't ruin the intriguing story. Bale plays it well but the actions sequences are completely absurd and at times laughable.

Big Trouble In Little China

Thank you Death's Head for reminding me that this awesome movie existed. It's been like 10 years or so since last time I saw it

Reservoir Dogs

Death Proof..... I didn't like it.

Watched Public Enemies again but this time with friends. Still don't love it.

Yea for some reason I just didn't like that movie. There were only a few scenes that I really enjoyed.

Anyway I just saw Shutter Island the other day. I've heard people give mixed opinions about it, but I loved it personally. Good acting and crazy twists.

I saw Shutter Island on Thursday. Despite knowing the twist I thought it was very good. Well executed on all accounts.

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine last night, lawl. Pretty fun, though not particularly amazing. I'm just glad Cusack is in something I can enjoy again after goddamn 2012.

Yea I've been very skeptical on whether I think Hot Tub Time Machine would be good. So that's good to hear that its actually funny because I like a lot of the actors in it.

Edward Scissorhands

Probably the Best Tim Burton film IMO & also probably the only film that I've ever saw Winona Ryder Acting decently

Ink.

Low budget fantasy dreamland thing. Very like a Neil Gaiman story. The middle section dragged a bit. The last half hour was great. Overall, I loved it. :)


Probably the Best Tim Burton film IMO & also probably the only film that I've ever saw Winona Ryder Acting decently

She did ok in A Scanner Darkly.

Big Fish

I've bursted into tears...

Jacob's Ladder - Really enjoyed this one. When I heard that it was a big influence on Silent Hill I had to check it out and I finally got around to seeing it. I swear they don't make movies like they used to. I'd rather see sfx done w/o post-production like it was in the film. Great unwinding and disorienting storyline. Also glad Adrian Lyne got ahold of it as from what I hear about the script, it would have been a much different and stereotypical vision had he not directed it and turned it into something truly disturbing and original.

Agreed. I have it on DVD, and it was bought to replace a video from years back. I remember I bought it and Flatliners on the same day.

It's a shame it hasn't got a decent transfer, the picture is still poor in places. At least the region 2 release is, I know sometimes they are different.

Ghost Writer.

Pretty good

Hot Tub Time Machine - now when my friend first bought the tickets to this movie, I gave him a weird look. I haven't really heard of the movie before and once I saw it was a John Cusack film, I was immediately turned off by it. Either way, I sat down and ... kind of enjoyed it. It's stupid and ridiculous and doesn't require much thought or concentration. So, it's a great film to watch on Sunday nights when there is nothing else to do. You don't hate it but you don't necessarily love it either.

Just wait for it on T.V. basically.

The Hangover

Curse of the Golden Flower - Despite all the amazing pageantry, costumes, sets and sfx, this story of a royal family torn apart by deception was a real bore. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen but it never did. All the twists in the story were obvious and the movie dragged on way too long. Also coming from the director of The House of Flying Daggers and Hero, there was a serious lack of martial arts and mystique to the film.

Digimon

Just finished watching War of the Worlds. Good movie.

Shutter Island

I enjoyed it, and especially liked the last 5 minutes. Thought the direction could've been better but overall a good film. Good acting throughout. I think a second viewing of this film would be very interesting.

Law Abiding Citizen. Good Stuff

Just watched .hack//G.U. Trilogy. It was okay.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

Oh jesus, where do I start with this monstrosity? I really didn't even laugh til Jeff showed up, and even then it was really just me smiling and "heh"ing at the fact that he was in the movie.

When seeing Jason Mewes's dick is the highlight of your movie, something is horribly wrong. Why is there an hour and a half of deleted scenes (20 minutes of which is Justin Long RAMBLING) and NO COMMENTARY.

You have failed me, Kevin. I like Jersey Girl! This is just sad.

Spawn. I don't know why. Have heard of a possible remake of this movie... god I hope not >.<

Waltz with Bashir.

About one guys search to relive an event that he believes he participated in by interviewing other people who were there. It explores the processes of the mind, memory loss, and how traumatizing events often manifest in your subconscious before being dragged into the domain of memory.

Very political, and very thought provoking.

And it's animated.

The Crazies (1973) - A small budget on this one but still a decent flick from Romero. The characters and situations are interesting enough that too much gore really isn't needed. What I liked most about it were the iconic American scenes being played with. Like the grandma knitting, right before she stabs a guy to death with her needle. I do wish they had played with more of this though. I haven't seen the remake but I think it was a good idea to redo this, especially in this day and age. I think the film has some good ideas but definitely just needed a larger budget to pull off more craziness.

Jackie Brown

A tarantino movie, without an orgy of violence for a change.

The Pelican Brief

A friend of mine hadn't seen it, and I hadn't seen it for a while. I really enjoy this movie, and I liked it again this time.

Clash of the Titans
This is a mediocre remake!

Do it as a Bum Review, Doug!

Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

I thought it was lulz :o

The possibly exaggerated for drama, E True Holywood Story style explanation of the commentary - Smith became a recluse for a while right after the movie came out. Even SModcast went on hiatus. The film got positive reviews and was projected to be a great box office success, early buzz was good, but it underperformed, hit by several factors - being released rather unfortunately at the same time as High School Musical 3, being an R comedy, and the fact that it was barely promoted because of "Porno" being in the title. It apparently sent him into a mini-depression, and he didn't even want to do the commentary, so he didn't.

I see. It's a damn shame. Kevin commentaries have always been my favorites. I knew what the plot was going to be before I even cracked the case. I just figured I'd watch it play out and enjoy it because it was a Kevin movie. I was severely disappointed in the leads.

I honestly ask myself if it'd been better with Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams. I think it would have been.

I think it was written with Seth Rogen and Rosario Dawson in mind, but then Rosario couldn't do it.

Logically I know Elizabeth Banks is a pretty lady and not a bad actress at all but for some reason she bugs me in everything but the Spider-man movies. I still haven't seen Zack and Miri, though.

The last movie I saw was The Secret of Kells. It is wonderful, especially once it really gets into the movie's main story, and visually it is just so pretty. I definitely recommend it.

RDJ Sherlock Holmes.

I don't know what to think of it, I didn't hate it but it just didn't grab me.
I used to watch the PBS & A&E series when I was very small but I'm in no way faithful to the source material so modernizing it wasn't the problem. Everyone did good in it though I wasn't too impressed with the girl she seemed kinda pasted in to have a chick as well as an American but I didn't dislike her. The overall mystery was fine and that 1 shadowy guy was easy enough to guess his identity.

Overall rating: Apathy

I need to buy that, at some point.

Law Abiding Citizen

Alien vs. Predator: Requiem - I didn't like the first one that much but I decided to give the sequel a try anyway. The story of the Aliens & Predators didn't seem as important as in the first one and of course the human's story was absolutely pointless. Too many quick cuts and bad lighting marred the action sequences. There were a few interesting ideas in the film but they just weren't executed very well.

Went to the first showing of Kick-Ass, cos geek duty. It was rather enjoyable. Some comic fans are hurrdurring over the changes from the source material, as expected, and others are freaking out over the fact that there's a young girl cursing and being violent, but gawddamn these people lack a sense of fun.

Surrogates

I was good. Pretty short and kinda formulaic story. It didn't really do much of anything new or clever with the idea but Bruce Willis was good if a little apathetic in a few scenes and the robot stuff was believable but nothing mind blowing.

Rent if you can't think of anything else to watch I'd say.

Fight Club

Finally I could get to see this film completely, I always missed something in between XD.

Just finished watching "The Lovely Bones", I thought it was brilliant.

Recently saw Clash of the Titans. To be honest, it was good, not worth the extra cash in 3D, but the original is much better. The CGI is superb though.

District 9

Great movie, can't think of anything else to say without going on a long ramble that'd go nowhere in particular.

Perrier's Bounty. A crime-comedy sort of film from the guy who directed In Bruges, sort of like the Dublin equivalent to Snatch. I liked it a lot, loved being able to recognise all the locations and the dialectical script. Not as good as In Bruges though.

New Moon. Bella is stupid in this one

In THIS ONE

Oh teh lols.

The Departed

Great fucking movie!

Jacob's Ladder

Good Movie.

Allen is the master of understatement.

I watched about 20 minutes of Turkish Star Wars. Trippy, but I'll just finish reading the review.

Jacob's Ladder

Good Movie.

GREAT MOVIE!

Great Fucking Movie!

The Lovely Bones

Very calming and touching, it started to drag just before it ended but overall had a nice pace. I love the lead girl and hope she's gonna be in more stuff also the surreal things are done well with not too much over the top but just enough to keep it from being just an after thought. Also Lord of the Rings poster in the book store window.

Wall-E

Fantastic, amazing, lovely, touching. HeartWarm movie...

=DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus

Great movie.

R.I.P Heath Ledger

Crazy Heart

The Dude was great but the movie overall wasn't that thrilling.

The last movie that I saw was Love Actually.
The movie is really good one for a calm and loving people all around. There are different love stories in this movie.

Was that the one with the stock romantic comedy lead women & man but also Liam Neeson, Alan Rickman, & Emma Thompson?

Yes you are absolutely correct my friend

I've seen bits and pieces of it on tv.

Dead Silence

Finally saw Avatar.... Bluray

Good movie. Greatest movie of all time.... i think not

Kick-Ass

Hitgirl feels absolutely forced, like they were just having a little girl curse because they could. When has the whole pretending to be gay to get close to a girl ever worked or not been offensive?

When he got stabbed and run over, that should have been the end of the movie.

"I'm just a dick in a wetsuit" This is when I yelled AT LEAST YOU KNOW!

"I guess this is the last time I'm putting this mask on." I yelled I WISH TO HELL IT WAS!

Then I walked out.

I hope you were the only one in there given all this shouting

Why would I yell if I was alone in the theatre?

You silly man~

Yelling around others probably distracts the majority of them :mad:

They were kinda groaning too. It was like 4 people other than me.

I saw Spaceballs with five or so people and everyone was miserable. The fun of the movie was dead. It was not enjoyable at all.

A year later - saw it with two different people, we had a great time, the movie seemed hilarious.

Just strengthens my theory that, at least sometimes, the surrounding crowd can alter how well a movie is perceived. If you saw it with a bunch of assholes...

I need no companionship to be an asshole, but you know this.

Weird. My friend saw Kick-Ass and loved it. He's itching to drag me to it.

It's been more positively received than anything.

I think the point about Hit-Girl's dialogue could be attributed to most expletive-filled characters in movies. How often is it really necessary versus merely done...because? Even something well written like say, Pulp Fiction, is not above using excessive cursing for laughs. Do you think there's any deep meaning behind lines like "I'm a mushroom cloud laying mother fucker, mother fucker!!!" Nah. Is it something most people would even say? Nah. "Mother fucker, mother fucker" is just a funny gag phrase, another fanciful little layer of a fictitious hard-R world. It's not as brilliant, but I don't think Hit-Girl calling people cunts is really all that different.

SLJ cursing sounds lightyears more natural than her. I've already told Jeff that maybe it's just that she's a horrible actress.

You know I love cursing. It kills me to have to agree with these uppity parents complaining about this, but I do this time :o

It's an 11 year old saying shit 11 year olds usually don't say, played for laughs. I don't think it was really supposed to sound "right."

Even if it isn't meant to sound natural that doesn't mean it makes it an enjoyable choice of character trait. It sounds stilted and bad and it isn't funny or badass. It's just THERE.

So much of the movie just felt THERE. His motivations aren't really developed, the characters aren't really developed. We get like some comic panels explaining Hit Girl and Big Daddy's origin and that's it.

Most of the movie is Kick Ass dancing in front of his mirror.

It's not funny to you, for a lot of people it is. It seems the "bit" just didn't work for you, and that's fine. I would never argue against that. It's far more valid than saying it was done "just because."

I don't care if people don't like things that I like at all, but if there's a reason given that doesn't make sense to me I have to say WUT

I hear in the comics it's even worse because

Big Daddy just made it all up.

But, whatever, people can like whatever they want. I like Matrix Revolutions and XIII~

Finally saw Avatar.... Bluray

Good movie. Greatest movie of all time.... i think not

Just saw Avatar too.

I liked it better the first time when it was called Furngully.

Ah ha ha ha ho hee ha

I love fairy girls but don't like furries, and evil singing Satan pollution voiced by Tim Curry is a far greater villain than an evil army guy.

Just saw Avatar too.

I liked it better the first time when it was called Furngully.

LLLLLLLLLLLOL

Kicked in the Head - I'm a big fan of Kevin Corrigan and I was very excited to see this film as he wrote and stars in it but it was just a mess. There's really no plot whatsoever, just the character of Redman (Corrigan) blindly sauntering through each situation, waxing poetry and behaving inanely. The acting is obviously improvised in a few cases, which turns out horribly and certain lengthy scenes could have been highly cut down. But the title definitely fits as that's what you feel like by the end of the film.

Ponyo - After seeing CG animated movies all year, it's nice to see one traditionally animated, and Hayao Miyazaki makes some of the best. An awe-inspiring decor beneath the sea and a touching and beautiful story. Great interesting character and creature designs as well. I'm sure this film would be suitable for the entire family.

GREAT MOVIE!

Every time that this movie is mentioned I will quote the message.

And I shall chime in with you. AWESOMENESS OF A MOVIE!! LOVE IT. No other movie can have me view so many times and still feel like I get something new out of it every time.

Tried to watch The Br�ken a couple times but kept falling asleep waiting for something to happen that just never did..

Such a tiring name to type, but ok: BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL - NEW ORLEANS

This is 2 hours of Nicolas Cage wandering around New Orleans, trying to solve a case whilst completely out of his mind on drugs. Hijinks ensue! Entertaining, to say the least.

Nine Dead - The film is a blatant Saw rip-off and while some of the acting is sub-par, the story is intriguing and the ride fun enough to stay till the finish. The ending isn't much of one, but it was nice to see Melissa Joan Hart again.

Ktulu man, it's all about the Iguanas.

In Theaters - Kick Ass!
It was awesome if I do say so myself! I think its a must see for comic book fans!

On TV - Sugar
Its about a Dominican pitcher who got signed to an MLB farm team and how he struggles to adjust to life away from home, and ultimately finds a new life in the states. It pretty much shows the life of the average Latin American ballplayer (who are given high expectations from family and friends) who don't end up making it and rather than go back to their native countries in shame, decide to make a new life for themselves here in the states (especially in New York which in Latin America is considered the Mecca of baseball cause of the Yankees :facepalm: ).

Iron Man 2 last night which is alright but I preferred the first and I think Jon Favreau is a terrible director and I think the story is all over the place and I think that maybe if RDJ wasn't in it I wouldn't like it at all. But since he is I'm willing to overlook a lot.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed tonight. Not very good.

Did you just diss Gutter? :o

Inglorious Basterds

Trekkies

The Naked Gun

The Collector - From the writers of Saw IV-VII comes another trap filled torture-fest. This time a small time crook breaks into a house in search of a weighty gem but soon finds out he's not the first one to arrive. An insane and crafty psychopath has set up an array of traps within while he tortures the family. The crook is the family's only hope. While the premise is intriguing, the story never really reveals too much about the Collector and his reasons, not even a glimpse, which made it hard to continue watching. Good gore and suspense throughout.

Moon - Sam Rockwell stars in this sci-fi drama about a lone engineer on a moon base and his strange discoveries into his employer's secrets. The sfx are great for such a low budget film but the story becomes a little tangled later in the film. Also I felt it could have been better if Rockwell had turned down the comedy a tad and gone full out dramatic.

The Fountain

Ironman 2.

It started off OK but right after the Abrams trailer the picture cut out and the first 15 minutes was skipped over and them it much have been the part where the villain reviled the master plan there was another break. It was the midnight showing too.

I loved it and the only real problem is not just with the Ironman but a lot of recent movies in general a large build up of the villain and the final show down not even lasting 2 minutes. Nearly every major plot point and action scene was in the trailers like how the only part of the Mecha rumble that wasn't shown was Ironman using rockets and the laser spin finish.

Baise-moi.

Not bad, considering the two women that directed it had never directed a movie before. I think the DOP maybe had a hand in it. The editing was better than I expected.

Iron-man 2 last night (thurs) ! Yes, I was one of the countless geeks who saw the first showings at 12am! lol

I went to a midnight showing of Iron Man 2 as well.

Threw down my initial thoughts in a video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4sv9M3_n9E

Watched American Beauty for the first time in ages last night, definitely one of the two best films ever made.

Iron Mang

Take a wild guess why.

Iron Man 2

I liked it. Thought it was better than the first one. I liked how the drones were done. Reminded me of some Masamune Shirow designs.

And I loved the disrespect of Capn! XD I hate Capn so I found that hilarious.

Iron Mang 2

It's not perfect. I can think of about 5 things off hand that annoyed me. Mainly how abrupt the final battle is, and how little development Vanko gets.

But, I liked it a lot, anyway. I was entertained. Sam Rockwell <3
