I know, and I was saying that as good as it is, it still feels long to me. Then in Wolverine's case, it's a movie that feels longer than it actually is.

I watched "Do the Right Thing" which was basically a black power movie that played on racial stereotypes and tried to justify it's own stupidity with quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther. Honestly it was one of the dumbest films I've ever watched and why it's on the top 100 list of best American films is beyond me. If you want to show me that racial tension is bad don't make your characters act unlikable and do horrible things, then act like what they did was okay.

I remember seeing that a few years back and taking a real dislike to it. I could see what Spike Lee was going for but the execution of every element of that film is so poor. And the fact that he has to make himself the 'hero' reeks of self indulgence.

That reminds me of that bit, I think it was from Family Guy, where someone says 'It's about as natural as a white man's dialogue in a Spike Lee film' and it recreates Danny Aiello in that film but he just goes 'Blaarraawwraa!'

I watched Seven Swords. Got it for cheap ages ago but fell asleep twice while trying to watch it before. Turns out it does get slightly better but it is definitely not a great film.

I've never been into X Men comics so I don't know how bad they messed up these beloved characters.

Just saw it yesterday myself. Same feelings for it, although I'm still a bit sad with Deadpool. I really couldn't take the whole thing seriously though.

Strangely enough, the scene that bugged me the most in Wolverine was the bathroom scene where he starts slicing **** up by accident.

Didn't he have claws for HUNDREDS of years!?

Well, they were bones. He didn't really slice anything before.

Saw this last night. Was better than I expected; quite good actually. There were a few ridiculous and stupid moments but still an entertaining enough film.

Saw Star Trek last night. My thoughts are in the official thread.

Watched Howard the Duck on DVD. It wasn't as bad as I remembered, but still... the 80s definitely had some "gems" that would never see the light of day nowadays. Whether that's good or bad is anyone's opinion...

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-08-2009, 02:53 PM

going to see X-Men Origins Wolverine tonight

Then it's not the latest movie you've seen.

By the time you posted, it was.

Dead of Night ('45)
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie

Liked 'em both.

Just saw Star Trek...I enjoyed it. More in the official thread.

Went to the theatre with the intention of buying a ticket to see "The Soloist", but the next time it was playing was too long of a wait, so I thought, "What other movies have I had an interest in lately?" and picked "Star Trek". Best $9.75 I've ever spent. Not a Star Trek fan, but man that movie was outstanding! Never a dull moment from start to finish!

That was me too, I've never been into Star Trek, but that movie was unreal! I may have to become a Trekkie now!

I saw the new Star Trek movie Saturday night. Thought it was excellent.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 05-11-2009, 12:55 AM

Star Trek in IMax today, loved it!

~~Leo656~~ · 05-11-2009, 04:17 PM

Star Trek yesterday. Loved it, and so did my Trek-hating fiancee, so it is indeed praiseworthy.

*cowabunga14* · 05-11-2009, 07:59 PM

Watched the '53 version of Salome recently, which was based off the story when John the Baptist was beheaded. I thought it was an interesting movie that was well worth my time.

And yesterday, I watched My Name is Bruce, which was an awesome movie. I would say I was pretty much engaged in the movie as well.
