Warching the Wrestler ATM. I'll let ya know, but I've heard only good reviews so far so....hope it's not hyped too much.

Very true and Cameron had no intentions on making one. However Arnold begged him to make another one and the studios threw such a huge budget at him that he was able to make whatever he wanted. The movie ended up being the most expensive picture made up until that point and was the first film to successfully utilize CGI in my opinion. Still looks decent by today's standards because they mixed it with so much live action effects.

Personally I think T2 is one of the greatest action films ever made. I call it one of those happy mistakes, cause like you said one didn't need to be made and one wasn't originally intended.

If you can handle the gritty nature of the film and the spiritual journey style of his film making then you'll enjoy it. Other then subject matter it's no different from Requiem for a Dream or The Fountain.

Has the phrase "Rocky of our generation" been used to discribe this film? I really liked it. I've seen Pi and Requiem, but it's been a while. My favorite part, when Randy punches the cheese slicer as he qiuts his job at the grocery store. I had to laugh because I don't know how many times I've just wanted to do something very similar.

All I can say is Rourke. Was. Robbed. He so should have won the Oscar for this role. He had to put so much into it.

totally agree with you there

any way, saw Terminator Salvation last night. good movie. could actually stand on it's own from the other three movies. it seems rather canon to the other three movies. just like Terminator TSCC was canon as well. Bale makes an ok John Connor. despite what some people may think of the guy, he's a good actor, and seemed to fit this role. i did not think that Sam Worthington would've made a good Connor. he was better suited for Markus. and yeah, as much as i dislike Anton Yelchin, he was ten times better as Kyle Reese, then as Chekov. but he still is a bad actor, imo. all in all it leaves the possibility of another movie. my friend and i thought that maybe the next one could be a prequel of sorts.

It was Roland Kickinger, the guy who played Arnold in the TV movie "See Arnold Run".

*Mecha Cow* · 05-26-2009, 03:02 PM

I just caught a bit of DOA: Dead or Alive on TV. I feel embarrassed for everyone involved with this movie.

*tone-master21* · 05-26-2009, 07:18 PM

I watched 1408 and Paul Blart: Mall Cop this weekend.

*cowabunga14* · 05-26-2009, 07:26 PM

Watched The Third Man yesterday and it was an engaging noir gem. I thought the pacing fit the mood of the movie as well.

ah, see i went onto IMDB and found his name listed on the cast and that's what i thought, and you confirmed it for me

*Mecha Cow* · 05-28-2009, 04:24 PM

Dances With Wolves. I wouldn't say it was bad, but I didn't really enjoy it.

~~Cropsy~~ · 05-28-2009, 11:20 PM

Saw Star Trek last week and was impressed, as a fellow Trek fan i was amazed on how they told the story of how the crew met. Yesterday i saw "Terminator Salvation" and it was a slight improvement over the last Terminator movie but not as great as the first two movies.

*cqb101* · 05-29-2009, 09:30 AM

The Soloist

Not bad at all, not very good either. Solid performances from Downey and Jamie Foxx. Directing seemed a little pretentious, though.

Star Trek

My 3rd time seeing it. Still love it.

The Brothers Bloom

Wow. I knew going in that this would be a solid film from Rian Johnson (The man who brought us Brick) but I wasn't expecting it to be that damn good. Easily my favorite movie of the year so far. The acting was top notch. Rachel Weisz is absolutely adorable, Rink Kikuchi is hilarious and badass, and Adrian brody and Mark Ruffalo turn out really genuine performances. Great script, great direction. Quite a few laugh out loud funny moments. I can't recommend this movie enough.

Same here, just got back from watching it a third time myself. It's really an enjoyable film that doesn't get tired from multiple viewings.

Drag me to hell.

I enjoyed the hell out of it.

*cowabunga14* · 05-30-2009, 01:35 PM

Watched the '61 version of Barabbas yesterday and I liked it. I thought it was neat how it expanded on the story.

*cqb101* · 05-31-2009, 08:02 AM

Drag Me to Hell

It was awesome.

*gobo* · 05-31-2009, 09:18 AM

A Sam Raimi all-horror/no-funny flick is how it was described to me. Since I don't care much for horror, should I expect it to be so unappealing when my friends drag me to Drag Me To Hell this afternoon?

It's very slapsticky. More Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness than Evil Dead. It's very much a traditional Raimi flick.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-31-2009, 03:04 PM

Night at the Museum 2! and i liked it. thought it was better than the first one by far. just overall more story to it

05-31-2009, 03:08 PM

Saw "UP" last night, and wow! What a great movie! I really feel-good film. Easily one of the best movies of 2009 so far.

Oh, I saw Angels & Demons. It was actually quite good.

And I saw Star Trek again. Just as much fun as the first time.
