What's the latest movie you've seen?

[Cure]

Can someone sticky this, please? I know I like to watch a lotta movies and I wanna discuss them, but I'd feel silly making a whole new topic for each of them just so they can end up with a few responses. So is it cool if we talk about every movie we've watched here? I know some people (like myself and Spit) watch plenty of movies worth discussion. If stickyage isn't a good idea, though, I'd understand.

Anyway, I just got back from watching Sweeney Todd and got BLOWN away. This movie is not for everyone for the following reasons: very song heavy (only like 5 minutes between songs. Literally.), very gorey, and...

...cannibalism and incest...

...but it was very good, nonetheless. The songs were catchy. It's funny cuz some of the songs that deal with darker matters have an upbeat tune. Also, the character interactions were interesting. It's not just about Sweeney Todd, it's about several different characters and how their stories intertwine. All in all, I'd recommend this to those who can tolerate the heavy themes and gore.

[Spitfire]

Last movies I watched were last night and they were "Blade 2" and "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back". I wanted to have some fun so that was good.

Last movie I saw in theaters was "Beowulf" which I wasn't all to impressed with. I was a fan of the story somewhat and I didn't really like the changes. The visuals however were wonderful, I saw it in 3-D.

Last really good movie I watched in theaters was "No Country For Old Men" Which featured some Oscar worthy performances especially from the main villain who played a down right scary guy. The story was also great and I loved the ending. They took a big chance with the ending it worked out.

I'll end up seeing "Sweeney Todd" soon, tomorrow I'm going to see "I Am Legend"

[cowabunga14]

Watched Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb on DVD yesterday when I got home from school and I really liked it. I can't stop talking about and quoting it, which I guess is a good thing. If you're wanting to check out some satire and probably Kubrick's best work, go out and buy it.

In school, I've gotten the opportunities to watch bits and pieces of Ratatouille, Transformers, MirrorMask, and Unforgiven. They've all been good so far.

[Mecha Cow]

I agree with Spitfire on Beowulf; it was a piss-poor adaption and a pretty but ultimately bad movie.

Just watched Catch Me if You Can on DVD again. Fun movie, nice performance by DiCaprio.

I was going to see I Am Legend tonight but that ended up not happening. I hear it's pretty decent if you haven't read the book and since I haven't I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

*E* Cowabunga, you really should watch Unforgiven in its entirety; it's fantastic.

[Roseangelo]

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3 earlier this week for the first time. After being disappointed with #2, I found I liked this one quite a bit.

I've got Transformers for sometime this weekend.

[Brodie]

I guess Hatchet was the latest, and have to say, its probably the most fun I've had watching a movie lately. Its just how it was handled that was neat. Its trying to be a classic style horror flick, and it succeeds at that, for sure.

The tag line is "Its not a Remake, its not a sequel, and its not based on the Japanese one."

[Peanut]

I'm watching AVP on TV at this very moment! My friend keeps bugging me to watch it, so tonight he called me around 9 and told me it was on, so I switched it on to check it out. Other than that, the last movie I watched was The Simpsons movie. It was pretty good, it was like a couple decent episodes strung together.

[Mr. Snackpants]

GREAT THREAD!!!

I've been thinking a thread like this could be very useful, to talk about movies that probably don't need their own thread.

Last one I saw was I Am Legend. It was decent. I wanna see National Treasure 2 sometime soon.

[Cure]

I agree with Spitfire on Beowulf; it was a piss-poor adaption and a pretty but ultimately bad movie.

I went to go see that in 3D, but even that wasn't enough to keep me from falling asleep.

[cqb101]

The Hellboy 2 trailer got me pumped so I went back and watched the first (which still holds up after all these viewings) and Pan's Labyrinth for some Del Toro goodness. Pan's was my favorite film of last year, I can't get enough of it.

[愛]

For a movie in theaters, I saw I Am Legend. I don't even wanna talk about that movie anymore. Last night, Voltron and I watched Batman Begins on our friend's home theater ownage. It was unreal in HD.

[raphael_is_cool]

Last film I saw in the theatre was The Darjeeling Limited. It was okay (for a Wes Anderson film) but I would not see it again.

[Spitfire]

I just watched Hellboy last night to! It's great, good mix of action and humor. Del Toro hasn't failed me yet.

[Slap-Happy]

I just finished watching TMNT and Blades Of Glory

[cqb101]

Last film I saw in the theatre was The Darjeeling Limited. It was okay (for a Wes Anderson film) but I would not see it again.

Really? I loved it. Thought it was a big step up from The Life Aquatic(which I also loved).

[Mecha Cow]

Watching LotR: The Two Towers on TV right now. The weakest of the trilogy in my opinion, but still awesome.

[raphael_is_cool]

Really? I loved it. Thought it was a big step up from The Life Aquatic(which I also loved).

I'm just not a Wes Anderson fan. The only thing I admire is that he does his own thing, but there are plenty of better filmmakers and writers in that 'field'. He just retreads the same ground over and over; none of his characters stand out or resonate and he bludgeons you over the head with his 'themes'.

'Oh, I see! They were symbolically carrying baggage from family issues, and now they're free of it they literally get rid of their deceased father's luggage bags! Now I get it! Wes Anderson you are a genius!'

[Venom]

Last movie I saw at the theaters was "Transformers". Up next: "Cloverfield" :evilgrin:!

[Mr. Snackpants]

I watched the Simpsons Movie. Not a big fan of the show so I thought I'd hate it but it wasn't that bad, I enjoyed it.

[Cure]

I just saw Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. That movie is really funny, especially if you've seen Ray and Walk the Line. So many memorable parts in it, haha. I'd highly recommend it.

[Brodie]

Last movie I saw at the theaters was "Transformers". Up next: "Cloverfield" :evilgrin:!

So a movie every 2 years or so? Congrats..

[ToTheNines]

I just watched the first TMNT. I'm way behind on my Christmas movies this year... I've only watched "A Christmas Story" and "Prancer" I'll probably watch "The Santa Clause" tonight, which means Christmas movie marathon for the next 2 days.

[Venom]

So a movie every 2 years or so? Congrats..

At the theaters, yeah....most I watch on DVD because I like all the extra stuff. I like my movie experience to be something really special, so this year I chose TMNT (undoubtedly!) and Transformers. I'm thinking about AVP:R but I *know* I'll be seeing Cloverfield just due to the fact I've followed the damn thing's since the teaser back in July! I like seeing big epic things on the big screen, while most other stuff I wait for it to arrive on DVD.

Ah, that's understandable then. I love Wes Anderson personally. I love his subtle humor, it's a nice departure from all those Will Ferell/Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson/Etc. comedies that seem to come out so often. Wes Anderson definitely isn't for everyone, tho.

[Roseangelo]

Just saw Elf for the first time (it was on TV). Pretty good!

[jeff the cheff]

I just watched "Do the Right thing" last night. It was entertaining, it felt like a real day happening. At first I was disappointed at the end with the "riot" because I thought they were giving a simple, bad message, but the next day I thought about the movie more, and now I think I get it. It could be looked at a lot of different ways, but I think the movie was showing how real people act, and that in almost all cases in the movie, nobody "does the right thing." The people on both sides of the racism aren't completely innocent.

[Barkworm]

I saw the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" remake last night and realized once again that I don't really like Tim Burton's work.

[Spitfire]

I watched two movies tonight

First up was "Thank You For Smoking" which I hadn't seen in awhile. I remember liking it but I didn't remember much from it. Hilarious movie, dark comedies were always my favorites. The M.O.D. Squad arguing over who kills the most people a year was the best.

Then I wanted to see something powerful, "Children Of Men" hit the spot. That movie grabs me and the cinematography is breathtaking. There's a scene towards the end that's one long shot of him running from terrorists and into a building being assaulted by the military. The birth scene is hands down the most realistic I've ever seen and it's very moving. I love the story, based off a book like "Thank You For Smoking" I seem to have some kind of fetish for movies based on novels. Maybe it's a sign I should read more.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Watched "Sweeney Todd" on Friday. Absolutely wonderful. Hey Barkworm, you may change your mind about Burton if you see this movie, though I may be wrong, seeing as I don't know what you don't like about his movies....

[jeff the cheff]

Based on the preview, I didn't really want to see Sweeny Todd, but I've heard a few people say its good so I guess I'll have to see it.

That movie is amazing, I think I'll watch that next.

[cowabunga14]

On Friday night, I started out with an exploitation or grindhouse kinda film called Werewolves on Wheels. I thought it was alright and I liked the concept. Then, after that, on the same night, I watched a movie on IFC called Nightwatch, starring Ewan McGregor and Josh Brolin. It kept me interested and kinda exceeded my expectations.

Last night, I watched a silent horror film called Haxan. The fact that it dealt with the medieval times kept me intrigued.

[Roseangelo]

Transformers - I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I'm not a fan of the series to be able to tear it apart in any regard.

[jeff the cheff]

I just watched Sour Grapes and Eastern Promises tonight. Sour Grapes was an OK comedy, the premise was funny and I laughed at some of the situations, they were very Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm-esque (this movie was made by Larry David). It really just seemed like a sitcom episode though. Eastern Promises was a strong recommendation but I ended up just liking it and not loving it. There was a good story and one great action scene but in the end its not something that I will ever have a really strong desire to see again.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Ok so how many times did everyone watch "A Christmas Story"?

I went 2 times all the way through and the bits and pieces added up to probably 3 more viewings.

[cqb101]

I never watched it all the way through, but all the bits and pieces added up to at least 2 viewings. I had it on the entire night while I was sleeping.

[Brodie]

I saw AVP2 tonight....Man, was it terrible.

The creature stuff was awesome. But the script and humans were ****ing bad.

[cowabunga14]

Watched a little horror film on Sunday evening and it was alright. The fact that it was an anthology kinda reminded me of Creepshow. Later that night, I watched Freejack with my dad and it was pretty good. I liked the action and the funny bits.

Later that night, I watched Freejack with my dad and it was pretty good. I liked the action and the funny bits.

Not technically a movie, but I watched the MST3K version of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on Christmas Eve and it looks like I've started a new tradition. On the same night, I watched Showdown at Area 51 recorded off the Sci Fi channel and it was okay. Other than that, nothing ground-breaking.

Last night, I watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space and I enjoyed it. In terms of being a B movie, it was right up there, I thought, with The Toxic Avenger.

[Venom]

Haha, Showdown was so bad it was awesome! The blue chick from Farscape looks pretty good as a human, too! I remember the original working title was Alien vs. Alien. My fave Sci-Fi Channel movies ever are "Tin Man" and "Dog Soldiers".

Oh, and keeping with the topic: I watched Underdog last night! It exceeded my expectations be far being really funny and enjoyable! :D

[cqb101]

Dog Soldiers isn't a sci fi film. It's a british film that had it's American premiere on sci fi.

[Mecha Cow]

Just saw The Italian Job (the Marky Mark one). Dumb movie, but it was fun. Kinda like a poor man's Ocean's 11.

[Roseangelo]

Saw The Golden Compass yesterday. I rather liked the book, but the people who made the movie kinda forgot to make you care about the characters...

Also watched Ghostbusters yesterday. Fantastic as always. :tthumbsu:

[Venom]

Dog Soldiers isn't a sci fi film. It's a british film that had it's American premiere on sci fi.

Yeah I know, but they billed it as a Sci-Fi original so it gets thrown in the mix even though it kicks all of their asses! :evilgrin:

[Brodie]

Not all of them....Lost Room is one of SciFi's only good creations......But CQB is right, Dog Soldiers isn't a Scifi flick, regardless.

[cqb101]

Court Jesters. It's a low budget, indie film that tells that true story of a paintball team in 1988 New York. It was written and directed by one of the players, and won a bunch of awards at film festivals. Great film.

[Cure]

Has anyone seen Juno yet? I just got back from watching it and it was another holiday treat that did not disappoint. It was very funny and touching, kinda like a mix between Knocked Up and Little Miss Sunshine (cuz of the whacky characters). Another recommended film.

[cowabunga14]

Had a zombie movie double feature yesterday with Shaun of the Dead and Planet Terror. I enjoyed each movie thoroughly.

[Mecha Cow]

Watched Casino Royale again. Awesome movie, though I understand it is 'overrated' now.

[Spitfire]

Watched Casino Royale again. Awesome movie, though I understand it is 'overrated' now.

Not in the eyes of James Bond fans. Everyone I've talked to hates it. They don't like realistic movies they'd rather Bond saved the day with his wrist watch. Austin Powers nailed Bond movies perfectly I'd say.

Royale is not only my fav Bond film but the best in my opinion. To bad they decided to go back to the goofy formula already. The point of the revamp was to keep the series serious.

Anyways I saw "I Am Legend" Check the topic for my opinions on it. If your to lazy to the bottom line is I hated it.

[Mecha Cow]

[Mecha Cow]

Whew. To do away with the bluntness that made CR so great would be a crime.

[Jester]

I saw Walk Hard this last weekend with my girlfriend. A very well done parody of the music bio-pic.

[cqb101]

Santa's Slay. Second time I've watched it this season. I love this movie.


Oh, and Emilie De Raven is smokin'.

[raphael_is_cool]

Finally saw The Bourne Ultimatum and it was as brilliant as expected. I was only slightly miffed that they kept rehashing moments from the previous two films; not the rapid fights or car chases but stuff like...

Nicky changing her appearance, just like Marie. Or the end of the car chase just like in Supremacy.

...but they're not serious grievances.

[cowabunga14]

Watched George A. Romero's The Crazies last night. I liked the plot and the originality of the film and I feel it should be seen by more people.

[Peanut]

Shooter. It was alright for an action movie, but the plot became so ludicrous that I couldn't help but laugh...constantly.

[VaughnMichael]

Saw the HogFather it was a great holiday film :)

[cqb101]

Shooter. It was alright for an action movie, but the plot became so ludicrous that I couldn't help but laugh...constantly.

Pretty much agreed. As ridiculous as it was, I was still very entertained by it.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I saw "No Country for Old Men". Great movie. It's got everything. Great cast, Javier Bardem is just creepy. A must watch for Coen Bros. fans and anyone else, actually.

[Roseangelo]

I saw "I Am Legend" last night. I liked it enough, but I think it's a 1-time viewing movie for me.

[ToTheNines]

Just watched "The Shining" pretty weird ****, and the part with the bear suit and the old man... :ohwell: yea. Oh well, Nicholson movies are always enjoyable.

[cowabunga14]

On I guess what would be Friday night, I started the film Magic starring Anthony Hopkins and Ann-Margret. I finished it the next night and I thought it was an interesting movie.

The next day, I watched the David Lynch film Dune. Despite the fact that the movie was a failure for the director, I thought it was pretty good.

I watched Scanners yesterday and it was alright. Not Cronenberg's best, but I don't regret watching it.

[ToTheNines]

I watched "Chuck and Larry" last night. I was at a party so I didn't hear some stuff, but it wasn't a very good movie. It made me laugh a little bit, but alot of it was gross and way overboard.

[Warhorse]

Saw National Treasure 2 today. It's a cute movie!

[gobo]

I just saw Underdog for the first time ever. While miles from the source material and a typical 'modern Disney' sort of film, I thought it was amusing enough. Had I never seen this movie, I'd probably never know what Patrick Warburton looks like.

[Lady Venus]

I saw this movie. V

Atonement. It was a very good movie. There was one shot in it that was like 8 minutes or some crazy mess like that. It was impressive, to say the least. Besides that, I can see why it's got so many nominations.

[jeff the cheff]

I just watched American Beauty last night. I saw it when I was like 12-13, so I didn't really follow it then, but I really liked it when I watched it last night.

[cowabunga14]

The other day, I watched Death Proof and I liked it.
Considering the fact that I didn't watch it with Planet Terror, I guess I appreciated the film so much more.

Watched The Warriors yesterday and I enjoyed it. Can't say I had any problems with it.

[raphael_is_cool]

Warriors, come out to play-ee-ay!

[cqb101]

Warriors is a classic. I love that film.

[Warhorse]

lmao....John Cusack is awesome. His reaction was hilarious. Spacey was awesome in it, yes.

[cowabunga14]

The other day, I started out with The Elephant Man. Even though it was kinda depressing, I found it interesting and I liked how David Lynch handled the movie.

Later that day, I watched The Jerk with my dad. Steve Martin was great in the movie and my dad and I enjoyed it.

Yesterday I had an all horror day and started out with City of the Living Dead. It wasn't bad for my first Italian horror.

After that movie, I watched a Bela Lugosi movie called Scared to Death. I paid attention for the most of the movie and thought it was all right.

Finished the day off with a slasher film I recorded off IFC called Madman. It was pretty good.

[jeff the cheff]

The other day I watched Memento. Very good movie with a very unique twist to it. I think everything Christopher Nolan ever works on will be great, because all his movies are up there in my top movies. Can't wait for Dark Knight.

Later that night I watched War, with Jet Li and Jason Statham. I heard really bad things about it, and although it wasn't great, it wasn't awful either. The whole movie was deceiving because I thought Jet Li and Jason Statham would be fighting each other the whole movie, but it ended up being a totally boring story about a rivalry between Japanese and Chinese families. There was a twist ending which I liked, and it made the movie somewhat entertaining.

Last night I watched The Big Lebowski. It was very funny, I loved the characters in it, especially Jon Goodman's character.

[Zog the Equalizer]

I just saw Equilibrium. I bought it on a whim and ended up really enjoying it.

[ToTheNines]

I showed my dad 28 Days Later last night, he loved it.

[cowabunga14]

Watched Ghoulies II the other night and it was pretty cheesy. I think I decided to watch because I'm kinda preparing to endure the suckiness that is Troll 2 later this month.

[Swany]

I saw I am Legend about a week ago. Cried twice and jumped/spazmed once.

[jeff the cheff]

I saw Juno last night. It was good, I liked it. The characters in it were hilarious.

[jeff the cheff]

I saw Shoot 'em up. It was just what I expected, high action and very funny. It reminded me a lot of Crank, although I actually liked Crank better.

I also watched Balls of Fury. It was awful. It wasn't funny and it was just boring. Looking back I don't know why I wasted my time on this movie.

[Brodie]

I just watched two movies that were difficult to watch.

The first was D-War, because I knew it would lead to MST3k styled commentary. So I rented it...And the commentary stopped an hour or so in, just because the movie was so damned terrible.


The second was The Kingdom. Superb effin' flick.... Just so difficult to watch. I've seen a lot of disturbing movies, sure. But that was for shock value. This movie was shocking, and disturbing, but terribly realistic. Had some of the most tense moments I've ever sat through in a movie. If you get the chance to watch it, do it.

Like the part where they're trying to pull Jason Bateman out of the van after it flipped over. I was holding my breath.

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I watched a little B movie called The Brain Eaters. It was alright and it didn't drag on for too long.

Later in the evening, I watched Undead. For a modern zombie movie, it was great and the Australian humor reminded me a lot of Dead Alive.

[raphael_is_cool]

Watched Hard Boiled the other day. Got to love the cheesy dialogue, horrible dubbing and over the top violence. Very enjoyable.

[Cure]

So I saw one of the scariest movies in a long time. Probably since The Descent. The Orphanage was creeeeeeepy, mang. It does well at building suspense and doesn't use cheap "boo!" tricks and whatnot. Very well done, I recommend it for those that don't mind subtitles.

Then, we decided to sneak into any movie we can afterwards so we saw One Missed Call because it was starting. Man, that movie was so hilariously bad. They perform a ****ing exorcism on a phone! LOFL.

Then today I saw The Bucket List with my mother. It was an OK movie. Not bad, not great.

[Mecha Cow]

Then, we decided to sneak into any movie we can afterwards
You rascal, you.

Last movie I saw was About a Boy. Don't judge me, I have to read the book for school...and well, I don't want to read it.

[Barkworm]

The book is actually a pretty enjoyable read, I had to read it for college once.

[Mecha Cow]

Are there any notable differences?

...Because you know, I'm just curious. >_>

[JetsAndHeels]

Bought "Hatchet" on dvd yesterday after I watched it with a friend last week. A great horror flick with some super-cool death scenes.

[Brodie]

About A Boy is entertaining, it's alright. Nick Hornby is pretty good. It's no High Fidelity though.

I saw a slew of movies this week....

Death Sentance- Enjoyable. I'm a closet Bacon fan. Needless to say, he wasn't footloose in this.
3:10 to Yuma- ****ing neat. Slow, and awesome. The kid is an idiot though.
Sunshine- Not terrible, but I expected better from Boyle.
White Noise 2- I may be biased because I hated the first one (the ending anyway), but I deffinately enjoyed this flick more. Maybe its because Mal Reynolds was starring in it.

[cowabunga14]

Watched George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead and it was just as good as the first time I watched it, which was about late 2006. Not much else to say about the movie, but I guess I always get kinda ticked when Duane Jones' character dies. He's the character I cared the most about when I first saw the movie and I guess I didn't expect him to die.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I went to the movies with my roomates. They have the worst taste in movies. They'll go to anything that they think "looks" funny or that shoots. They wanted to see First Sunday, because of Katt Williams(I still don't even know who the f*ck he is). One of the worst movies ever. Tracey Morgan is such a god damn fool. I hate myself for watching that. I need to go watch a good dvd to help erase the last 2 hours of sh*tty film.

[Ashangelo]

Saw Juno last night...I don't really think that it lived up to all the hype, but it was still an enjoyable movie.

[Barkworm]

Are there any notable differences?

...Because you know, I'm just curious. >_>
I've never seen the film but I was told that the ending is completely different. Have fun reading, sucker.

He's the character I cared the most about when I first saw the movie and I guess I didn't expect him to die.

I watched that again a few months back. I thought the fact that the guy dies in the end of the movie is one of the best parts. The first time I watched it, it came out of nowhere and I wasn't expecting it, but the way they did it was very humorous. That one part makes me think of this whole movie as sort of a dark comedy along with horror, which is a cool part about it.

I just watched the new Halloween movie by Rob Zombie. I'm not huge into the Halloween movies or the slasher genre, but I still thought it was pretty good. The begining when it showed Micheal as a kid was very interesting, but after he escapes and the movie turns into the slasher movie, I didn't really enjoy it much.

[Mecha Cow]

I've never seen the film but I was told that the ending is completely different. Have fun reading, sucker.

I stole a copy from one of my classmates and read the final chapter and while the events slightly differ, thematically the endings are basically identical. Nice try, jerk!

The last movie I saw was American Psycho on TV last night. Awesome movie, great satire. My interpretation has always been that he didn't actually commit all the murders; it was all happening inside his head (I think this works better as well). What do you guys think?

[Spitfire]

Long time so I got some catch up posting to do.

Lifeforce - Old British sci-fi film about space vampire who suck life force out of people. It was interesting I loved the concept.

Sunshine - Bought the DVD so I obviously loved it. Looks amazing in HD. Danny really out did himself on this film it came together great.

Eastern Promises - David has always been "the man" but this movie shows he can do more then obscure sci-fi stuff. So did "History Of Violence" and seeing the return of Viggo was great. That fight scene at the end is gritty and amazingly shot.

3:10 To Yuma - I hate Westerns, I love this film. Bale and Crow are amazing.

Atonement - Eh...filmed well, good story, boring movie. Needed to be a half hour shorter.

Darkman - It fits in between Evil Dead and Rami's other movies. I loved it.

Video Drome - Strange...that's all I can say.

[cowabunga14]

Finished up Unforgiven in my Histroy class today and I liked it. Never really got into westerns, but I guess Unforgiven might change that.
Video Drome - Strange...that's all I can say.

I hear that Tombstone, and Quick And The Dead as well as the one you mentioned are great I want to see them.

[cqb101]

I watched that again a few months back. I thought the fact that the guy dies in the end of the movie is one of the best parts. The first time I watched it, it came out of nowhere and I wasn't expecting it, but the way they did it was very humorous. That one part makes me think of this whole movie as sort of a dark comedy along with horror, which is a cool part about it.


One of my best theater going experiences (behind Raiders of the Lost Arc and all 4 times I saw Grindhouse) was seeing something called "Spooktacular". It was a bunch of old trailers, cartoons, newsreels, etc. and then the original Night of the Living Dead. It was awesome.



I hear that Tombstone, and Quick And The Dead as well as the one you mentioned are great I want to see them.


Raimi's "The Quick and the Dead" is a really fun flick. I also recommend "The Proposition", an Australian western from a couple years back, you'll love it.

[jeff the cheff]

I just saw a few movies yesterday, basically all I did.

First I saw Children Of Men. It was a very good movie, interesting story and it seemed to have a lot of meaning behind it regarding the future.

I also watched Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas. I've heard it was great, but I really didn't like it that much, mostly because I don't think I "got it." I thought it was funny, but in a really weird way.

Then I watched Last King Of Scotland. It was also a good movie. If your into history or politics or Africa, this is really recommended.

[ToTheNines]

Finally saw Sunshine, really wish I woulda caught it in the theatre.

[cowabunga14]

Watched Confessions of a Dangerous Mind earlier and it was pretty good. It was neat how it gave me a better understanding of what Chuck Barris' life was like when he worked on game shows.

[cqb101]

Just got back from Juno, I loved it. Ellen Page is adorable, I want her to have my baby.:D

[Bigfoot]

I don't know if I want to admit this, but I watched Super Bad after work today. GO McLovin!!!

[cqb101]

I don't know if I want to admit this, but I watched Super Bad after work today. GO McLovin!!!

Superbad is ****in' great.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Watched Ghoulies II the other night and it was pretty cheesy. I think I decided to watch because I'm kinda preparing to endure the suckiness that is Troll 2 later this month.

Good luck with Troll 2.

I've seen both, and Troll 2 will make Ghoulies II look like a masterpiece. I don't remember much about Ghoulies I, but I didn't find it as interesting as II.

[ToTheNines]

I had a snow day today, and I normally watch TMNT eps like "Take Me To Your Leader", "A Real Snow Job", "Tales of Leo", or "Monster Hunter" on such an occasion... but I decided to torture myself with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 this time :D

I haven't seen it in about 5 years, and honestly, it's not as bad as most of us make it out to be. Sure the animatronics are trash, the costumes suck, the plots silly and COREY FELDMAN IS THE WORST DONATELLO EVER (Tim Kelleher is a bad Raph too, as James Murray is with Splinter), but it's still mildly enjoyable as a turlte fan. I actually got some good laughs out of it, enjoyed the pop culture references and thought the fights were pretty well done (all of which I had forgotten).

[Mr. Snackpants]

I saw Cloverfield at the midnight showing. Highly recommended.

[jeff the cheff]

Superbad is ****in' great.

Hell yes. Why be afraid to admit it? After getting the DVD and watching the bonus features on it, this movie is probably my #1 comedy of all time.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I watched Rush Hour 3. I liked it, I liked all of them. I know a lot of people rag on the series but I find them enjoyable. And yes, I laugh at Chris Tucker :o *gasp*

[cqb101]

Just got back from Cloverfield. So intense. Great ending.

[cowabunga14]

Yesterday, I started out with the Boris Karloff film Isle of the Dead. It was good and I was interested for most of the movie.

After that, I watch Rawhead Rex. Yes, it was cheesy, but I needed another cheesy movie to watch before Troll 2. I laughed a lot at Rawhead Rex and I kinda did some MST3K-inspired commentary here and there.

Finished the night off with Cloverfield. It was awesome and I liked just about everything in the movie.
Good luck with Troll 2.
Thanks. I'll be watching it tonight.

[Cure]

I saw Mad Money with my mother then Cloverfield with some friends. Mad Money was "eh" but Cloverfield was great. I loved it. The same thing that happened with Snackpants happened with me. People moaning and pissing about the ending but to me it was the best way to go about it.

[cowabunga14]

I watched Troll 2 the other night like I said I would and it pretty silly. I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, which is fine with me. Other than that, I'm not really sure how I feel about it.

Last night, I watched a movie called Strange Invaders. I first saw it a couple years ago and I don't remember much of the first viewing, but it was good to watch it again. If you're looking for a decent science fiction movie, I'd say check it out.

[Ashangelo]

27 Dresses- Not bad if you're into chick flicks harcore. James Marsden made this movie.

Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street- I've been wanting to see this since I first heard about. I absolutely love Depp/Burton team-ups. So I finally got to see this last night, our theatre decided to wait almost a month after the actual release to get it. Rahr! Anyway, I was totally blown away by it. The music, the setting, the mood. It was just all perfect!

As soon as the movie let out I ran over to Wal-Mart and bought the soundtrack lol. But anyway, yes, definitely loved the movie. It jumped right to the top of my favorites list.

[ToTheNines]

Let's see, watched Panic Room the other night. It was good but I didn't find it suspensful, mostly because the mom was a plain-jane, loser divorcee... and her daughter was an ugly little boy who was not funny but never quit with the sarcasm. Then the crooks, Junior was a punk, Raul was too mysterious, and I actually liked Burnham.

Started to watch some s**tty b-movie called Invasion, it was about an alien invasion in a small town, and the whole thing was filmed from the dashboard camera from a cop car. I turned it off after 15 minutes.

THEN, I watched 3:10 to Yuma. What an awesome film, my new favorite western. One of my new favorites overall, I loved every minute of it.

[cqb101]

I saw Cloverfield a second time. Just as good as the first time.

[cqb101]

Just got back from seeing Youth Without Youth. I started a thread on it because I thought I new Coppola film deserves it, check that thread for my thoughts on it.

[Brodie]

Cloverfield.....awesome.....

[Cure]

I saw There Will Be Blood.

HOLY SH*T. The last two scenes were INTENSE. The "bastard from a basket" monologue was unbelievable. Then when he killed Eli, I was stunned, man. It was like the whole movie was build-up and that scene was the punchline, haha.

So a couple of things to those who saw it. What was it that H.W. found in the diary that made him realize Noah was a fake? That picture of that lady? I mean, there musta been a reason he lit a fire up under his ass. Also, was it just me or did young Mary Sunday look JUST like the girl from Jurassic Park?

[Swany]

ALien V Predator Requiem.

I'm wishing I hadn't I remembered why I haven't watched any alien movies. Predator I'm fine with, mostly 'casue hes badass. But the aliens give me the fear.

I think it was something he had written about meeting his brother. I didn't catch a good look but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. It's also possible he did it as a means to call out for attention as he had just gone deaf. Haha she did look like the girl from Jurassic Park. Insane movie I loved every second of it.

[Brodie]

ALien V Predator Requiem.

I'm wishing I hadn't I remembered why I haven't watched any alien movies. Predator I'm fine with, mostly 'casue hes badass. But the aliens give me the fear.

And, also, it was a terrible ****ing movie.

[cowabunga14]

Watched Big Trouble in Little China earlier, which is always a fun movie. I guess it's somewhat of a guilty pleasure now -- like The Evil Dead and Dead Alive.

[cqb101]

Just watched Maelstrom in my films of Quebec class. Really great film. Had the right blend of drama, humor, and a lot of symbolism, some of which is still coming to me. I'm about to go buy the DVD.

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I watched the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre and it was pretty good. I wasn't expecting much from it, so that was a good thing.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I saw Cloverfield again. I really love this movie. There are a couple small flaws, but this movie is just great on so many different levels.

[Venom]

Forgot about this thread until I saw the latest posting.

Anyway, I saw "Cloverfield" last week as I said I would...pretty nice payoff for someone who followed the whole ARG that was behind the film! Especially the satellite falling into the ocean at the end. Did you catch what was said after the credits? ;)

And tonight I caught a goofy movie on TV with Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence, titled "Nothing to Lose". It has some funny moments, so I was pleased.

Now, should I see "Rambo" and watch that dude in the Jeep get blasted into a puddle of plasma? Hmmm...

[Zog the Equalizer]

I just saw Rambo and it was hilariously actiontastic. Also it had a preview for a movie called Midnight Meat Train, which made my friends and a laugh uncontrollably.

[cqb101]

Last night, I watched the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre and it was pretty good. I wasn't expecting much from it, so that was a good thing.


The origignal TCM is, hands down, one of the most underrated films of all time, and (IMO), the greatest horror film of all time. I could go on and on about why, but I'll spare everyone here.


Also it had a preview for a movie called Midnight Meat Train, which made my friends and a laugh uncontrollably.

It's based on a Clive Barker story and directed by an extremely well respected Japanese horror director. I'm looking forward to it.

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I watched a little B movie called Cat Girl and I liked it. I didn't have any problems with it, except I thought there could've been more of a horror element.

Later that evening, I watched Fiend Without a Face and it was alright. I liked the concept and the little flying brain kinda creatures were pretty cool.

[Zog the Equalizer]

It's based on a Clive Barker story and directed by an extremely well respected Japanese horror director. I'm looking forward to it.

It may have a great pedigree, but the title sounds like a bad porno flick. Hence the laughter. I'm not sure the idiots of America will take it seriously with a name like that.

[ToTheNines]

Showed a freind "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", he loved it.

Then I watched TMNT (2007).

[cowabunga14]

Yesterday, I watched the Bruce Lee movie Return of the Dragon. I haven't seen a Bruce Lee movie in a long time, so it was good to refresh my memory.

Later, I watched David Cronenberg's The Brood. It was good and it's probably right up there with Videodrome in terms of originality.

[Mecha Cow]

I just saw Eyes Wide Shut on TV.

Seriously, what the f*ck.

[Cure]

I saw Rambo.

I lol'd.

[Spitfire]

As did I...the gamer crowd made it worse. They had to toss in their "team speak" comments every time Rambo killed someone. One guy yelled "Triple Over Kill!" I wanted to slap him but it was hard to tell which one of them said it. The entire theater was full of over weight screeched voiced basement trolls who came out of their caves to see the film. Some of them smelled very bad and they were sitting 5 seats away from me.

I just watched Collateral, I loved it. I need to watch it again, it has some great undertones and the story is amazing.

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I watched a Spanish horror film called Tombs of the Blind Dead and I thought it was OK. I'm kinda getting into the foreign stuff, so I figured I'd watch it.

[Jack Skellington]

just watched great mouse detective

[Cure]

Deja Vu. I rented it and I enjoyed. Time travel is always cool.

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I started out with Slaughter of the Vampires. For the most part, it was alright and I don't regret watching it.

Later, I watched the 1963 version of The Haunting and I'd say I was satisfied with it. I can kinda see how it, I guess, inspired Sam Raimi in his filmmaking when he was starting out. Anyhow, I think I fell asleep when the movie was over or something, but I'm gonna watch the second hour of the film in case I missed anything.

[JetsAndHeels]

Watched Knocked Up last night...hadn't ever gotten around to seeing it until then..thought it was a pretty solid flick with alot of laughs.

[Jack Skellington]

finished watching rock and roll high school.

[Bigfoot]

Gone in 60 Seconds is on in the background right now.

[tone-master21]

I just finished seeing the movie Slither.

[gobo]

The Bucket List. Inspirational film. Not something I'd go too far out of my way to see. But, very good for what it was supposed to be. In other words, it wasn't my type, but still respectable.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I just finished seeing the movie Slither.

I saw Night of the Creeps recently, which according to a lot of people is very similar to Slither. Night of the Creeps was a fun 80's horror film with a cute actress in it, you can't go wrong with that one.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I had a bunch of movies going in the background today.

The Pursuit of Happyness- I love this movie. Will Smith is great in everything...except for that western.
3 Ninjas: High Noon- LULz!!1!!1 This movie sucks so hard. So unbearable I had turn it off.
Employee of the Month- Lame.

Hell yeah it was. Its been on HBO a lot lately. I watched it about 3 times last weekend. Why doesn't Grandpa like Pizza? It's a known scientific fact that pizza fuels all ninjas!

You think that was actually a Ninja Turtles reference? I never thought of that until you mentioned it!:lol:

[Ra]

Saw Sweeney Todd in the cinema's nearly a week ago. Why I never mentioned it is a complete mystery to me...it really got me inspired to draw after seeing it for some reason.

[Mr. Snackpants]

You think that was actually a Ninja Turtles reference? I never thought of that until you mentioned it!:lol:

No probably not, but when I was a little kid I sure did. But who knows...

[raphael_is_cool]

This last week I have seen:

Sweeney Todd
Despite having some good moments it was pretty rubbish. Boring, crap songs and a twist I'd already guessed.

Charlie Wilson's War
It was alright. Had some good performances and is especially irrelevant but something about it felt very 'empty'.

Big Trouble in Little China
This film is so cheesy and terrible it's great. My friends and I had a lot of laughs making jokes during it.

Miller's Crossing
Great film. Looks wonderful, interesting story and good performances. Recognisably a Coen film.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

No probably not, but when I was a little kid I sure did. But who knows...

Now that you mention it, I wouldn't put it past them to make a Ninja Turtles reference. The movie was basically Ninja Turtles put in a blender with Home Alone.

[cowabunga14]

Yesterday, I watched the 1979 science fiction film The Black Hole. It was pretty good and I kinda remember it from when I was younger and it was good to watch it again.

Later, I watched Forbidden Planet and I liked it. The special effects were cool and I didn't really have any problems with the movie.
Big Trouble in Little China
This film is so cheesy and terrible it's great. My friends and I had a lot of laughs making jokes during it.

Whenever I watch that movie, I seem to enjoy it. There's something about it that makes me wanna watch it every once in a while.

[raphael_is_cool]

It is a very amusing film. They can't have been taking anything seriously...or if they were that makes it even funnier.

[ToTheNines]

I watched Epic Movie on HBO today with some freinds, it would have sucked but we MST3K'ed it, so it wasn't all bad.

[cowabunga14]

Watched the French film Les Diaboliques last night and it was good. I liked how the suspense built up and it kinda reminded me of Hitchcock's stuff.

Started The Goonies last night and finished it today and it was a lot of fun.

[raphael_is_cool]

Watched the French film Les Diaboliques last night and it was good. I liked how the suspense built up and it kinda reminded me of Hitchcock's stuff.

It's a very good film. Saw it ages ago at university. Did you know that Hitchcock was actually annoyed he didn't get the rights to the original novel? But he went on to make Vertigo instead, which was based off another book by the same authors. Similarities can definitely be drawn between them.

[Mecha Cow]

Fearless. Very nice.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when you have to MST3K what's supposed to be a comedy.

One of my all time favorite movies to MST3K was Ultraviolet. But I after a half hour I gave up.

No, I did not know that, but it sure is interesting. Speaking of Vertigo, I'll be watching it later this month, so I guess there's kind of a connection there.

The sisterhood of the travelling pants. Weird that I watched a movie of a book and didnt sit listing stuff they missed out.

I cried so much watching that movie. Even though I'd read the book and knew what was coming.

[Cure]

I finally saw Letters from Iwo Jima. It was pretty good. Now I have to see Flags of our Fathers.

[Spitfire]

Let's see
Casino Royale - Awesome of course
Cloverfield - Horrid
Shotgun Stories - Decent independent film
War Of The Worlds - Been awhile since I watched it, still a satisfying sci-fi blockbuster

[Cure]

War Of The Worlds - Been awhile since I watched it, still a satisfying sci-fi blockbuster

Which one? The original or the remake?

[Spitfire]

Which one? The original or the remake?

The remake, I think Steven Spielberg did a great job on it. It has some really suspenseful scenes and while I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise he did a good job in it.

There was awhile there where he made a few good movies in a row Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Collateral, and lastly War Of The Worlds. Then I don't know what happened to him.

Yeah, it was cool. I think Mission Impossible 3 was pretty alright, too. He beat a guy up with his elbows! :o

[Spitfire]

I never saw it, after 2 I decided I had given up on the series. It upsets me to cause 2 was directed by John Woo and he's awesome.

[gobo]

Saw The Game Plan for the first time tonight with my sister's kids. I thought it'd be a reasonably decent film, and I might even find it somewhat amusing. Boy, was I ever wrong...
The first thing I noticed was the bad acting. I know better than to expect much from someone who used to be a pro wrestler, but the way the little girl's lines all sounded like she was reading them off cue cards for the first time bugged me. However, I didn't hold that against her. She's from The Disney Channel, the mecca of the world's cheesiest actors (they even snagged Bruce Campbell).

The next thing that grated at me was the quarterback telling his daughter to "never say 'no'". Now, I don't intend to tell people how to raise their kids, but that's some lousy wording for a 'never give up' sentiment, and the last thing you should tell a daughter. I can just imagine some yesman director giving Dwayne a line like "never say never", he goofs it up, then the director commends him for the shameful, almost perverted joke he stumbled upon. Anyway, I counted this as strike one.

Then, I was again irritated by the suggestion that ballet is a sport. For a brief second, I thought they might blow it off, as if to say "no one said it was". Then, the ballet teacher gets all indignant with her "yah-huh, ballet is so a sport!" Let me explain something... What makes a sport a sport is competition. The only part of ballet that features competition is the auditions. Therefore, it is simply a performing art. So, they're suggesting to kids that the definition of a word is unimportant and can be changed on a whim to be the punchline of a lame joke... Strike two. And, when I muttered that ballet isn't a sport, my neice told me "if it's [shown] on TV, it's a sport". O_O I blame that one on her watching too much Disney.

The straw that broke the camel's back was the overall message. "Be an annoying brat, screw up people's lives, and get rewarded for it." Disney uses this one way too much as of late. I'm sick of them poisoning young, impressionable minds with this absurd idea. If/when I ever have kids, I'm banning The Disney Channel. So, strike three. This movie's officially on my ****-list.
In summary, I'll never get that three hours of my life back... What's that you say? It wasn't that long?? Well, it sure felt like it. >_<

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I watched Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster and the only problem I had with it was I felt the ending was kinda rushed, but other than that, I liked it. It was interesting to see James Karen in one of his pre-Return of the Living Dead roles.

Later, I watched the Asian horror film Onibaba. It was a breath of fresh air and I liked everything about it.

[jeff the cheff]

I just saw House of Flying Daggers. It was pretty cool, the visuals were enough to keep me interested, and the creative dagger/bambo/everything else fight scenes.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Just saw There Will Be Blood. It was a great movie, just not sure how great. There was so much to take in, I'll have to watch it again. While it was good, my vote would still be for No Country for Old Men.

[ToTheNines]

I saw the bucket list with my grandpa yesterday, it's a really great film and I highly recommend it.

[raphael_is_cool]

Juno
Way overrated. I don't remember finding anything funny and I couldn't relate to any of the characters. They were all a bunch of kooky smartasses, and Juno is the most annoying character ever. This really does not deserve so much recognition.

Eastern Promises
Great performances from Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassell. It's refreshing to see the non-tourist approach to a story set in London and a difficult subject matter (human trafficking). While the script is very good and contains many layers (a second-viewing will bring new things to light) I felt some of it was too obvious. Maybe it's just because I have a lot of experience of writing that I can spot foreshadowing a mile away but it made the film less enjoyable and seemed very standard fare. Still a very good film though and I now want to see A History of Violence.

[cowabunga14]

Watched Vertigo yesterday and I was pleased with it. Jimmy Stewart was great in the movie and Hitchcock didn't disappoint.


Later, I watched A Boy and His Dog and it was pretty good.

[Swany]

saw Juno last night. Really enjoyed it except there was a group of girls with the highest pitched giggles ever in the front row which was pretty irritating.

[raphael_is_cool]

I Am Legend
Better than I expected. Also slightly different 'plot' to what I expected. Will Smith gave a good performance; I'd never seen him do anything 'serious' since Enemy of the State. I think the CGI was pretty poor though, and not a great decision by the director.

Anyone else notice there seemed to be some alpha male dark seeker element in there? The one that exposed himself to sunlight to yell at Robert then later pushed his way to the front to smash the glass at the end?
I imagine that'll be explored more on the DVD release.

[Toonami Tom]

I rented '3:10 to Yuma' over the weekend. It's a great, action packed movie, and I liked the acting. However, the story was not as good as I thought it would be.

I plan on seeing 'The Bucket List' sometime, it looks like a very entertaining comedy.

I don't understand why anyone over the age of 14 would watch 'Juno' or 'Knocked Up.' There seems to be a new trend in unplanned pregnancy movies.:roll: I mean no offense to anyone who enjoyed the films, they just do not interest me.

[ToTheNines]

It's actually less of a comedy than you might think. Don't get me wrong, it's a funny movie, but there's alot more to it.

[Toonami Tom]

Oh ok. Yeah, I would imagine there is probably a serious element to the film, since it's about things to do before kicking the bucket. As well as story elements/drama involving characters such as friends, children, and other family members. This is all speculation on my part.

Ah, I see. On that note, for anyone looking for a good comedy movie I reccomend the Birdcage. It's a great film. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play their parts well, and it's a very funny movie. It also makes you think.

Are we talking about Juno?

[Mecha Cow]

Knocked Up (and from the looks of things, Juno as well) is a bit too in-your-face for my tastes, but it's still a good movie, even if it's not the most effective comedy.

Last movie I saw was Road to Perdition. Why didn't this win the Best Sound Oscar?

[cqb101]

Are we talking about Juno?

Both to some extent. Juno moreso.

[raphael_is_cool]

But I could've sworn you said: 'smartly written' and 'witty'. I also think the term 'comedy' was used.

Honestly, I don't see how Juno is any of those things. And I hate people treating it like it's the new 'Little Miss Sunshine'.

Eh, you didn't like Juno, I did. Differing opinions, that's cool. I just don't like how the other guy basically attacked any fans of either Juno or Knocked up by saying that he doesn't understand how anyone over the age of 14 could like them.

And ya, comparing Juno to Little Miss Sunshine is more than a bit extreme. Little Miss Sunshine is in a class all its own.

[raphael_is_cool]

I just don't like how the other guy basically attacked any fans of either Juno or Knocked up by saying that he doesn't understand how anyone over the age of 14 could like them.

I wouldn't say he attacked them. Just seemed very misinformed. I mean, they're not 'movie of the week' but on the big screen.

[tone-master21]

The last movies I saw were Superbad and American Pie: Beta House.

[Voltron]

I can almost set my watch to how people respond to Peanut.

The man's a folk hero. I swear. They tell tales of him on other boards, as though he were more than just a man. . .

Last movie I saw? The Greatest Canadian Tale: Peanut and the Yukon Bandit.

It's 4 hours of tundra treading, social health-caring excitement!

[Toonami Tom]

The Greatest Canadian Tale: Peanut and the Yukon Bandit? What?:D

The last movie I saw, which was tonight, was A Beautiful Mind. It was pretty good, I like the imaginary people.:lol:

It must be awful to have schizophrenia. I just found the imaginary people that John Nash (played by Russell Crow) was seeing to be kind of cool. Although, I wouldn't want to see them in real life.:o

I just watched "I Spit On Your Grave". It was alright. I think "Last House on the Left" is the far superior film.

American History X, and then 3:10 to Yuma.

Those were both great movies that I hadn't seen before. I don't think I've watched two movies in succession that I liked more than these two. Everyone I've talked to has said great things about American History X, I don't really know what else to say about it. But I watched 3:10 to Yuma with a bunch of people and most of them didn't think it was that great. I just really liked the adventure of it, and the action scenes in western movies are always great. My favorite:

at the end when Wade's guys come to get him and offer everyone $200 to kill anyone with Wade.

I've heard only good things about both movies. I have them both on dvd, but still haven't watched them.

Jumper. Very stupid, but entertaining.

*E* Tonight I saw The Mist. Did not like it at all, but the ending is haunting to say the least.

I saw Jumper, too, and I agree with what you said. The Mist I really liked, though. The ending was sooooo depressing.

Crank. WTF??? lulz!!11!

Saw Eastern Promises. I didn't care for it.

Just rented this one...plan on seeing it this weekend sometime...they didn't have Jesse James so I went with it..oh well

[ToTheNines]

I watched this John Woo film called "Broken Arrow", it was pretty cool. John Travolta starred in it, and the other guy in it, Christian Slater, sounded a hell of a lot Steven Jay Blum.

Then last night I watched "The Saint" (Val Kilmer). It was a good movie.

[raphael_is_cool]

Once Upon A Time In The West
Classic film. Wonderful score. I like how the film doesn't feel it has to tell you everything at once, it allows little things to slowly reveal themselves.

[tone-master21]

I just finished seeing the movie Good Luck Chuck.

[Cure]

I saw Over Her Dead Body with the motherly one. It was OK and some of the dialogue was not bad. A 6.5/10.

[jeff the cheff]

Crank. WTF??? lulz!!11!

Pretty awesome, huh? One of my favorite movies haha.

[Revan]

Finally saw Live Free or Die Hard and loved the action. I was entertained the entire movie. Thought Justin Long was ok. Of Course Bruce was amazing in it. Good movie.

[cowabunga14]

On Friday, I watched Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions. I liked it and it was very gory.

That same day, I watched the French film Eyes Without a Face. It was pretty good and I was entertained for the whole movie.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I just finished seeing the movie Good Luck Chuck.

I'm sorry.

[tone-master21]

I'm sorry.

I agree, that movie was a complete waste of my time.

[Roseangelo]

Just saw Juno, which I enjoyed quite a bit. I didn't realize that it took place right around where I grew up (although it seems most of it was filmed in Vancouver - Alas...).

[cowabunga14]

Watched This Film Is Not Yet Rated yesterday and it was very interesting. There was a lot of good points and opinions in it.

Later, I watched the Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo. It was great and there was lots of action.

[tone-master21]

I just finished watching the movie Jurassic Park.

[cqb101]

Gone baby Gone. It was excellent. I can't wait to see some more directorial work from Ben Affleck. He's a great director and I think he's gonna be huge in the coming years.

That's one movie I HAVE to watch whenever it's on. I never get tired of it.

Yeah, he's a better director than actor. Casey is better than he is.

[Brodie]

I just watched Gone Baby Gone.... Awesome. I'm watching We Own the Night now....Not nearly as powerful. Still good though.

[cowabunga14]

Watched a lot in the past few days...

The Silence of the Lambs, which was good. I've been wanting to see this movie for a long time and I'm glad I finally got to.

Kwaidan, which was some decent Asian horror. I liked the fact that it had an anthology feel to it.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut, which was awesome. The Final Cut is probably my favorite version of the movie and I recommend it to everyone.

Bram Stoker's Dracula, which I liked. For the most part, I was interested.

[raphael_is_cool]

There Will Be Blood
Probably not to everyone's taste but I thought it was very good. Daniel Day Lewis proves again why he has become such a legendary actor and Paul Dano does very well too. A nice slow-burner of a film and I really liked the musical score.

[cqb101]

Death of a President


Very little known film, but definitely worth seeing.

I saw it a couple weekends ago an I totally agree. DDL's performance is what will keep me coming back to it over the years. The music was very unique, I thought.

[cowabunga14]

Watched 2001: A Space Odyssey yesteday and it was pretty good. The visual effects were cool and I liked everything else about the movie.

After that, I watched a made-for-TV horror movie called Evil Never Dies and it was OK.

[Mecha Cow]

Picked up Children of Men the other day to see what all the fuss was about. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was a pretty good movie.

[愛]

I watched Sugar & Spice tonight at my club's monthly movie night. The Japanese movie, of course, and not the American cheerleader movie. It was a pretty sad movie. Our vice-president cried a little. But she's Japanese, so I was expecting that.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I just got back from Vantage Point.

Bad movie.

Worn out plot (president assassination), bad acting, terrible writing. The vantage point idea was ok, it basically replays the whole incident back a bunch of times but adds more to the end each time. The problem is what they kept replaying was pretty bad. I still can't get over how bad the acting and writing was. Towards the end I couldn't stop laughing, there were so many unintentionally funny scenes/lines. I heard people walking out saying how much they liked it, blah blah blah and it blew my mind because people kept laughing as the day was restarted back to noon. It was also very predictable, my uncle and I figured the "twist" out almost immediately.

Don't go see this this. If you insist on seeing it, sneak into the theater, download a bootleg, wait until it's on dvd and then download it, or wait until it hits HBO. I can't believe they marketed the **** out of this piece.

Just got done watching Rescue Dawn, it was really good.

Watched American Hardcore earlier, as stated in the "DVD purchase" thread.

Yeah, I could tell this would suck balls. You have to tell me something though: you know that douche in the TV spots that goes "We have to respond!!!" in a really anoying voice? How hilariously bad is he in it?

Oh, man. Seems like such a good movie to see for the horribleness of it all. It's awesome when movies that take themselves seriously turn out so bad. Also, according to firefox's built in dictionary, dialogue isn't a word but horribleness is. WTF?!

Haha, yeah I was sick of the commercials with that guy, Luckily it was like his only scene.

So much stupid **** in the movie. These are all things that made me lmao, in like the last 20 mins alone.
The quick string of "*hit!" outbursts.
The terrorists getting beat up by the President in the van.
Matthew Fox's character shooting the assassin after telling him his brothers dead.
I thought it would've been a hell of a twist if he turned out to be Jack from LOST and it was a giant flasforward.
Forrest Whitaker's character.
The terrorist crashes the van to avoid hitting a young girl (he took thousands of lives in the last hour), thus ****ing their plan.

[thebrownranger]

just watched An Extremely Goofy Movie today. man I'm a big fan of Goof Troop:evilgrin:

[CudleyCowlick]

Just caught "Juno" on my birthday, and I was floored. This was absolutely the most off-beat high-larious movie I have seen in a long line of off-beat high-larious movies. From the guest appearances of Rainin Wilson and Cut Chemist right off I was sold, and then they just kept dropping The Melvins references and that line Juno had about how "after experiencing the raw power of Iggy & the Stooges, everything else just seems kind of... cute."

This movie was tailor made to make me laugh. It's good to see something fresh on the big screen in this era of preconceived, already-done BS.

[cowabunga14]

Last night, I watched Blood of Dracula and it was alright. The make-up effects were neat.

Later, I watched the 1977 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau. I thought it was pretty good.

[Mecha Cow]

Rambo, or 'John Rambo' as it's still called here for some reason. Not as good as the first two Rambos, but definitely better than the third.

Appropriately violent, though I thought the content was a bit heavy at times. I have no problem with bad guys getting blown to bits, but I don't particularly enjoy watching women and children get violated, mutilated and murdered. Of course, this made the being blown to bits of the aforementioned bad guys all the more appreciated.

[raphael_is_cool]

Jumper
A bit of a mess. It takes ages for things to get going (over twenty minutes), then starts and stalls before cramming all the action and conflict into the last twenty minutes. And it's never a good sign when your supporting character is a hell of a lot more interesting than the lead.
With a trite story, poor dialogue and nothing much beyond the action scenes going for it, this really feels like a wasted concept and is obviously meant as part of a trilogy. From what I understand, the follow-up to the novel of Jumper would've provided a far better story or at least some inspiration; although I guess they're maybe saving that for sequels.

Also, how the hell do you fool people into thinking you work for the NSA or IRS, looking like this?: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h164/ybfchic/Jumper-scififilminTorontoi.jpg

I just saw Vantage Point since Snacky was singing its praises, so to speak. All I can say is, thanks for the lolz, man. :D

[ToTheNines]

Finally caught the Simpsons movie, and I actaully liked it... if was funny.

It wasn't cracking me up the whole time but when Flander's tells Todd he has the devil's curly hair, and the Mickey Mouse thing got me pretty good (something else, too).

I thought it was really going to suck, but I suppose they've been saving some jokes from the golden age.

I agree. I just watched Juno a few week ago as well as American Beauty. I enjoyed them both for completely different reasons. Juno was not only funny but it kinda made me feel for her ya know( I know it's a movie but hey good movies take you away to places right?). American Beauty was F**king amazing. The characters the plot and the acting was top notch. I don't think anyone else could pull off such a complex chararcter like Kevin Spacey.

[thebrownranger]

I saw Harold & Kumar Go To Whitecastle. I love that movie, I guess its just because I'm indian:razz: Hope the 2nd one is as good as the first.

[Cure]

I just got back from Be Kind, Rewind and it was the funniest move I've seen in a while. I was cracking up in many parts and it's quite charming, as well. Some of the "effects" they think of to recreate the movies are very clever. Highly recommended.

See it looked like a good rental/download. It looks funny but it didn't seem like it could hold it's own for 80-90 minutes.

Was it funnier than Vantage Point?
