What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 74

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-15-2009, 07:17 PM

Star Trek, and i must say, damn that was a good movie. albeit not as good as some of the previous Trek movies, but it's up there with some of the better ones

I just came back from Angels and Demons, and I thought it was great. There were some INCREDIBLY MAJOR differences between the book and the movie though. The one that ticked me off the most;

Spoiler:

Ok, mini-rant over, I will say, I still really enjoyed the movie. I just especially love that so many people are all freaked out over this movie, the same as they were with The DaVinci Code. Oh, horror!!! It paints the church in a corrupt and violent light, and the church could never be corrupt or violent!

Seriously can't wait for the release of The Lost Symbol and the movie to follow!

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-15-2009, 11:16 PM

I'll be interested to see what you think, but I thought his character was way less verbal than in DVC. It was a fast paced movie, but the book was also. It seemed to me like they altered a lot of stuff from the book, but I'm a Dan Brown geek who has read the book more times than I can count so I may be reading too much into it, pun intended.

*cowabunga14* · 05-16-2009, 09:33 PM

The Phantom Carriage ('21)
I Bury the Living

Both were rather enjoyble.

**Jester** · 05-16-2009, 09:45 PM

I Bury The Living was a fun little weird movie.

Seen The Undertaker and his Pals?

**Machias Banshee** · 05-16-2009, 10:02 PM

Pursuit of Happyness. Timing couldn't be better for me, lifewise...

**Jester** · 05-16-2009, 10:08 PM

You lived in a train stop bathroom....

Shutting up....

Renaissance, which I thought was decent.

*Brodie* · 05-21-2009, 01:41 AM

Terminator: Salvation.

Not nearly as bad as people are saying it is. Its pretty fun to watch, but don't go into it expecting genre defining things. I'd say its way better than T3.

**GK Punk** · 05-21-2009, 01:44 AM

I think my expectations are already way too high for it. Now I'm afraid I won't like it as much.

**Barkworm** · 05-21-2009, 01:46 AM

Aww, the same goes for me. I was hoping that it would be uber-awesome.

*Brodie* · 05-21-2009, 01:46 AM

See, I went into it with severely low expectations.

Its a decent movie, really. I can deffinately say its enjoyable to watch, for the most part...It seems like the type of action movie I could watch more than a couple times...like T2...?

*gobo* · 05-21-2009, 04:14 AM

T4: Salvation
Never was a big Terminator-fan, so I didn't expect it to rock my world. It was pretty heavy with the sci-fi drama, but it wasn't bad.

**Barkworm** · 05-21-2009, 01:48 PM

I just saw East is East. What a great little movie. I might have enjoyed it as much as I did because I've got a similar background but still.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-21-2009, 05:57 PM

Just got back from seeing Terminator Salvation. It was a pretty good film. Almost up there with T1 and T2.

Spoiler:

. I was surprised when at the beginning I saw in the credits that Anton Yelchin was in it. And low and behold he ended up being Kyle Reese himself!! It was really nice to see him in a much bigger role this week than his smaller role as Chekov a couple weeks ago. And yes he has an American accent. The kid's a good actor for sure.

Fave quote of the film has to be:

There were some INCREDIBLY MAJOR differences between the book and the movie though. The one that ticked me off the most; Spoiler: *NO MAXIMILIAN KOHLER!!!* This made me nuts! I loved his character in the book, and to cut him out really ticks me off! Forget everyone else who changed names, nationalities, and job titles, people who lived who weren't supposed to, and the TOTAL obliteration of the "Papa Pope" storyline, Kohler not being in it made me batsht crazy Ok, mini-rant over, I will say, I still really enjoyed the movie. I just especially love that so many people are all freaked out over this movie, the same as they were with The DaVinci Code. Oh, horror!!!
