The Movie Discussion Thread

[Nordic_Storm]

Well I finally saw Borat and I liked it a lot. I admit I wasn't a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen before, the series were fairly mediocre and the Ali G movie was absolutely horrendous at times but this was definitely better. Some really memorable scenes and overall great entertainment all through the movie.

Borat is a funny movie - but so politically incorrect, you can see why he got beat up so many times.

I just saw Spiderman 3 and it both sucks and blows - the only good part was the brief cameo Bruce Campbell had in it (And if you've seen Evil Dead, etc. then you'll know he is a legend).
Topher Grace was funny as always.

I'm probably going to try see Redline soon cos Eddy Griffin is hilarious.
POTC3 is gonna be the bomb.
I'm really interested to see The Number 23 as I'm intrigued to see how Jim Carey pulls off this serious role.

[Bloody_Murderer]

Fuck I loved Spiderman 3, and I loved seeing Bruce Campbell in it again.

[Siby]

i think im the only one who thinks that the borat movie isnt funny

[rabbititus]

i've said this before but... i really can't wait for Pirates 3! =D

[SavanaZero]

i think im the only one who thinks that the borat movie isnt funny

Yeah agree I dont know why but just dont think that this guy is funny. I was probably just laughing ones thats was it.

[Ultra_Violet_Kosh]

Borats is full of the worst, braindead humour ever.

on another note, I wanna see Spiderman 3!
anyone else seen it? opinions please!

[Carlos]

i havent seen Spiderman 3 yet .. dont know why but the trailler didn't get my atention ..

about borat .. hmm that sucks hard such as Ali G character

[Nordic_Storm]

Yeah agree I dont know why but just dont think that this guy is funny. I was probably just laughing ones thats was it.

I don't consider him to be that funny actually but I enjoyed the movie because it was different.

Little Miss Sunshine - 4/5

Maybe not as good as the Wes Anderson movies but still quite wonderful.

[Monty_Python]

The Aquateen movie was fucking awful.

[MrBoogz]

there are so many good movies comin out and i can only see 2 all summer long because Im under punishment by the Wardens of My Life (Read:The Parents). which should i go see? here is a list of my options, when it comes out:

Oceans 13
Pirates 3
Transformers (Spielberg is producing;thats ALL im in for)
Rush Hour 3
Simpsons Movie

Help me out here!!

[SavanaZero]

Yeah there are really a lot of good movies coming out and i still need to see spiderman 3 and of course i wanna see pirates of the caribbean 3. Well and than there will be "Day Watch" out in July I guess and Harry Potter, well gotta see the movie if you read the book. :o

[HappyDutchOven]

The Aquateen movie was fucking awful.
Yeah, it was. I'm a huge ATHF fan and couldn't believe it missed the mark so badly. It had some hilarious moments, but in the end left me quite disappointed.

[HappyDutchOven]

Speaking of disappointments, Spiderman 3 let me down big time.

Let me first say that I loved the first two installments of this franchise and expected alot from the third. Basically, there was too much for one movie. It was not a tight movie at all. Subplots would turn on and off at a whim. Same can be said of both Peter Parker and Harry Osbourne. Macguire especially failed in pulling this off. The comic relief scenes were funny, but over-the-top silly. Sandman was uninteresting, and Venom was only in the movie briefly. The film also comes across as overly sappy. On the plus side, the movie itself was fairly entertaining, and the action scenes are respectable. Yet, the dropoff between 2 and 3 reminds me of what I felt after seeing Xmen 3 (a few similarities in flaws, as well).

The movie will gross a ton and its success will come straight from the first two films, but this is by far the worst of the three.

2.5/5 stars

Oceans 13 and Pirates 3
(Oceans because you can see the cast have fun when making the movies together and Pirates because it's Pirates)

[Widge]

Transformers (Spielberg is producing;thats ALL im in for) Michael Bay directing the movie makes this a free frogurt type of situation.

Someone: Spielberg's producing the movie!
Me: Ooooh, that's good.
Someone: ..but the movie is being directed by Michael Bay.
Me: Ohhh, that's bad!

[AtsutaneAdachi]

Spiderman 3 was a letdown but all in all worth watching i thought.
Also is this just for recent movies?
Well what the hell, my fave movie at the mo is probably FFVII: Advent Children.
That film is so good, funny, cool action scenes etc...
Very good. Go watch it!

[Widge]

Also is this just for recent movies? Nope. It's for any movies.

[Monty_Python]

Yeah, it was. I'm a huge ATHF fan and couldn't believe it missed the mark so badly. It had some hilarious moments, but in the end left me quite disappointed.

That movie felt like it lasted for three days. It didn't feel like the show at all.

...

I wouldn't say that Spiderman 3 was awful, but it certainly wasn't up to the levels of the first two in the series. There simply wasn't enough time to include everything that they tried to. It was heavy on the action sequences and the plot development suffered because of it.

No, it wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either. This is probably largeley in part to how well the first sequel went. So, it's hard not to look at the films relatively.

[Kimmerly]

I liked but also didn't like Spiderman 3. Don't know how to explain. Maybe I'll just post this instead:

Two days ago I saw in TV Soviet Film from 1972 "A zori zdes tichije" (The Dawns Here Are Quiet) which was nominated on Oscar for best non-english movie even when it was film from Soviet Union and I can say only one thing: This is something what Spielberg would never do. Nothing like Pear Harbour or Darkblue world. One of the best movies with WW2 theme I ever saw (maybe better than Saving Private Ryan). First I thought that it will be some communist-propaganda war movie but I was absolutelly wrong. Now Im donwnloading "Idi i smotri" (Come and see) which as I heared is better than this....Im recommending this to everyone ;)

[Tael]

I saw Spiderman a few weeks ago, it was quite funny. I felt that that too much stuff was going on, Venom didn't have much screentime. The part of The Sandman was played well. I hope they make some more Spiderman movies.

[M4rCi4]

i'm not a spiderman movies fan, but i watched the first 2, so i think ima watch the 3rd one.. but i read everywhere it's dissapointing..

my to watch list is POTC, harry potter, simpsons movie

[HappyDutchOven]

28 Weeks Later

Very respectable sequel. The beginning was excellent. This is probably because I was expecting a long, drawn out introduction. The movie itself is fast paced. It maintains a similar feel to the first installment, but stands on its own in several ways. New characters, entirely different circumstances and plot. I did have some gripes with this movie, though. The quality dropped off a bit from the first. Biggest problem was the movie was too short and progressed so quickly that there wasn't really much character development. It was more event-oriented and doesn't waste time to build up to the chaos. Also, the shaky cam still bothers me. I've always thought it was a horrible way to do any sort of action scene, but maybe that's just me. *shrugs* Although this may not be as well-crafted a story and film as the first movie was, it is still an intense, disturbing, and most importantly entertaining zombie-esque flick.

3.5/5 stars


Clay Pidgeons

A so-so dark comedy with Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn is hilarious as the seemingly good-natured psycho Lester Long. The movie is filled with a series of grisly murders that seem to center around the innocent (and unfortunate) Clay (Phoenix). The story has its fair share of quirky characters and bizarre twists that constantly force Clay into dire moral dilemmas. It's a very strange sort of humor, but it did a good job keeping me laughing as well as holding my intrigue. On the downside, the climax is sort of lackluster, but all-in-all it's a very fun movie.

3/5 stars

[AlanPartridge]

Saw Spiderman 3 last night. I liked it though I've never read the comic or anything so I've got nothing to compare it to. But i've enjoyed all the films. Strangely the whole Peter / Mary Jane rocky relationship thing brought up nasty memories of an old painful breakup for me which wasn't great. But that's my problem, not the films. The whole emo Peter bit was funny. Cool action scenes. Yeah, decent film.

[leto]

uff just saw spiderman 3. i was ~10 times short before falling into sleep. soo boring oO. this whole peter/mj thing was just constructed as hell, harry was nothing deep, this breaking up scene was so cold >.> i mean, i was sitting there like "wtf, actor's class in first semester can do better", no feelings transported, nothing.
emo peter getting all girls dancing on the street was just stupid, we were sitting here laughing as hell.
i laughed the first movie, liked the second... the third is in my opinion on of the worst films ever :eek:

[Widge]

Just watched Slap Shot last night. Pretty funny and fun movie to watch. First movie I've watched in two months. :|

[Rocksquirrel]

I didn't watch Spiderman 3, but I think the movie is 'okay'. But the first and second part were better. The worst of part 3 is this thing with peter and mj, terrible.( I saw the trailer and making of Spiderman 3, that was enough)

The last movies I watched were Fight Club and The Crow part 1 (look at my avatar).Both are very good movies, I love The Crow.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Curse of the Golden Flower was pretty good, but appeared over stylised to me. I dunno, the story was quite good though.

And, though it had nothing to do with the movie, the guy behind me translating the hole thing into another language for his mate was quite irritating.

[Widge]

What the fuck ever happened to Richard? I wanna tell him that Gangs Of New York totally got me interested in Daniel Day Lewis' work. He was awesome as Bill the Butcher.

"That, my friends, is the minority vote!"

He totally had this Pacino charisma and vocal gravitas along with a side of DeNiro facial ticks going for him in there and he was just so fucking great.

[rabbititus]

i loved pirates 3. <3


there were some 'wtf!' moments, but it's still love.

and to really get some of the jokes/funny lines in the movie, you've really got to be quite familiar with the first 2 films.

[Giggles2099]

im sooooo gona see that this weekend. I think im actually addicted to movies, last weekend i went 2 see Spiderman 3, loved Venom "Topher Grace". But erm you see da new goblin, was he Hobgoblin? because on the credits it just said new goblin?

Can't wait for Transformers! Woo!

A Scanner Darkly - 3/5
Candy for the eye so to speak but the ending was fairly weak.

Alpha Dog - 3.5/5
I thought it was quite good actually, apparently most of it was based on the real thing so it was actually quite morbid. Justin Timberlake was decent actually although I mostly felt he wasn't really acting, just playing himself really.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - 3/5
Slightly better then the first movie and some really memorable scenes. Still flawed with the whole lets make a third movie story, also definitely too long.

[Kimmerly]

Why are there so many people complaining about movie length lately? Three hours at the most is fine, anything above that is stretching it. Most (good) movies are up to, if not a little over, two hours, and I'm sure most of you sit on your ass for up to, if not more than, three hours straight (no breaks) every day when you're in front of a computer.

[IceCoffee85]

i'm looking forward to the new fantastic 4.

well today's youth can't sit still for long so that is why ppl complain, i guess. 3 hours is a big commitment and i definitly consider movie length before i go see it because you never know what you're going to get. like titanic....not worth my time. lord of the rings, hell yea.

It depends really on the quality of the movie.

[Widge]

Anyone seen The Departed? Because it was fucking excellent. Scorsese deserved every bit of that Oscar win for that movie.

DiCaprio, Nicholson, Damon, Baldwin, Sheen, hell.. Even Mark fucking Wahlberg was great in this movie. Leo really is probably one of the, if not THE, best of this generation's actors, I'd say.

5/5 from me.

And to Richard, if you ever get back on these boards, I must say: I don't know how you ever could've said you were disappointed in DiCaprio in this movie. Of all the films I've seen him in, this was the best form he's ever been. And that's saying something, cause I think he's gotten really, really good over the years. He just let it all out and it was just intense.

Damon was equally so, but it was more of a suppressed type of deal and he played it to a T.

[linkin__lady]

my loved film i SCARY MOVIE 1.2.3.4 *rock* sry 4 the bad english!

[Ultra_Violet_Kosh]

I watched silent hill the other day.
what a gruesome film.

DUDE i swear to god spider-man 3 was really f*ckin dissapointing. I really hate that Peter became some emo f*ck. I hate emoes...it had its moments though...POTC3 was f*ckin amazing...Shrek the third was funny too...Disturbia sucked...Transformers looks awesome...thats it.

I'm really looking forward to this:


Spielberg, Jackson to Make 'Tintin' Movies

Directors will make 3 films about Belgian comic-strip hero

The well-known movie directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson will develop a new film project about the famous Belgian comic-strip hero Tintin. They revealed their plans in Variety, a magazine about the entertainment scene.

More specifically, the two directors wish to make three movies about Tintin and his little dog Snowy. Each filmmaker will direct at least one movie; the answer on the question of which director will direct the third movie is not known yet. Moreover, it is not known which of the 23 comics of the Belgian comic-strip hero will be chosen for the movies.

Spielberg is considered one of the most famous fans of the Tintin comics. Already in the 80s he bought the rights to produce a movie about Tintin, while Herge, the Belgian creator of Tintin, was still alive. Normally the movie would have been released then, but when Herge heard that Spielberg might not personally direct the film himself, he refused to give his further approval and canceled the project.

In spite of all this, Spielberg never gave up and persevered in his passionate dream to film Tintin. And now, after almost 25 years, there seems to be a break-through in the project. Together with his colleague, movie director and fellow Tintin fan, Peter Jackson, known for his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Herge's dream will come through: a film about his little comic-strip creation Tintin.

The input of Jackson should not be underestimated, because he is the founder of New Zealand-based WETA Digital, a company that was also responsible for the special digital effects in the "Lord of the Rings" movies. WETA has produced a 20-minute-long test trailer to bring the characters to life. They use a special 3D technique which they also used to create Gollem, the tiny creature from "Lord of the Rings."

Spielberg said, "Herge's characters have been reborn as living beings, expressing emotion and a soul which goes far beyond anything we've seen to date with computer animated characters. We want Tintin's adventures to have the reality of a live-action film, and yet Peter and I felt that shooting them in a traditional live-action format would simply not honor the distinctive look of the characters and world that Herge created."

Jackson said that WETA will stay true to Remi's original designs in bringing the cast of Tintin to life, but that the characters won't look cartoonish.

Tintin was created by the Belgian comic-strip illustrator Herge, a pseudonym of Georges Remi, in 1929. His comic-strip creation is a Belgian reporter. He stands up for righteous causes and tries to save the innocent people from dark and evil enemies from all over the world. In these stories there are also references to real countries and real people who lived between 1930 and 1980.

Tintin has a little dog called Snowy which accompanies him all the time. The age of Tintin is quite static and is estimated to be between 16 and 19 years old. Consequently he has a few boy-scout ideals, which represent Herge's ideals for a more righteous world. The series about the Belgian reporter has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide.

When the movie will be released is not yet known, but for now both directors have other projects to complete. Spielberg is currently working on "Indiana Jones 4" until the end of the summer and will be available during the fall, and Jackson will wrap up "The Lovely Bones" by the end of the year.

That sound awesome if your lieing i will hunt you down and kill you!!!

True Romance was pretty fun. Especially that "Sicilian Scene". That was fucking hilarious. Walken and Hopper play it like pros. Patricia Arquette was incredibly cute in this movie. I can't really say much about it, because I just thought it was incredibly fun. 3/5

I cant wait to see the new adam sandler and kevin james movie.......

JUST SO I CAN SEE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN MOVIEs...... JESSICA BEIL OR BIEL LOL WHATEVER SHES FINE!!!!!!

Was just wondering if any of you have seen the trailer for the new movie in the Nightwatch trilogy, Daywatch. It looks soooo much better than the first one. i thinks its out in October in the UK but not sure about everywhere else. Im so xcited!

O yea and the Iron Man movies comin out next year, with Robert Downey jr as Iron Man.another movies i'm lookin forward to and........of course Transformers!

[Kimmerly]

God, I saw Daywatch over a year ago I think. It was good. I remember there was a rumor going around about the third one, saying it was going to be done in English... which totally pissed me off, because part of what makes it great to me is that it's in Russian. But no, most Americans are too lazy to go to a subtitled movie, no matter how good it looks, because they can't read and pay attention to what's going on at the same time. Oh well.

[Giggles2099]

wow! a year ago! i only just saw the 1st one a year ago! the British really are last @ pretty much evrything. lol
i love subtitled movies because they introduce you to a new culture and are able to say that they cant be bothered to translate and dont care whether the film flops because of it.

[Nordic_Storm]

Pan's Labyrinth was pretty awesome even if the story was a bit weak at times.

[yohouz]

I cant wait to see Transformers! I really hope its good. Also waiting for Rush Hour 3. Jackie and Tucker are so funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GD9IKfFCZM

All I have to say is Blood Diamond was pretty great. Yeah.

[Siby]

me too bro.....

*high Five*

who watched Death Proof?

[HappyDutchOven]

Pan's Labyrinth was pretty awesome even if the story was a bit weak at times.
I really liked Pan's. Decent story and interesting characters, even if it is a bit on the depressing side.

[Nordic_Storm]

Depends on how you view it really atleast the ending, it could just have been the little girl's imagination at the end or it could have been real.

[Nordic_Storm]

The Grindhouse movies were fairly good, Death Proof had some good moments though it was quite flawed. I liked Planet Terror more, good old fashion zombie movie with nice action.

[Shinoda_San]

i just saw "I Am Legend" this weekend. it was ok, movie started off really good but kinda lost interest towards the end.

[mau_mon_san]

i want to see I AM LEGEND... i think its very interesting...is the end of the movie that bad???

[mau_mon_san]

[LP_Fan101]

I saw "The Ant Bully" the other day. I'm not usually a fan of animated films but this one was really good and I don't know why I liked it :D It was really good :D

I also watched "Slither"...that was great!!! :D

[Aesahaettr]

The Grindhouse movies were fairly good, Death Proof had some good moments though it was quite flawed. I liked Planet Terror more, good old fashion zombie movie with nice action.

Meh. I wasn't impressed with them at all.



But I'll agree with the Pan's Labyrinth praise - it was an excellent movie.

[LP_Fan101]

I was watching "Stay Alive" in the dark on my own at about 2am lol. It's quite scary! There's this game and if you play it and you die in it, however you die you die the same way for real! How cool does that sound! :D
I advise you to watch it!

[Beauty_Fiend]

I don't know if anyone's interested, but here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkT1wdRePco&eurl=http://lj-toys.com/?journalid=4544495&moduleid=4&auth_token=sessionless:1198472400:embedcontent:454 4495%26) the trailer for The Dark Knight.

I actually don't think Heath Ledger makes a bad Joker. Though I can't say anything for sure until the movie comes out.

[LP_Fan101]

I watched the trailer...
Another Batman film? Haven't there been enough already? Still it does look kinda good though =D

[Beauty_Fiend]

There can never be too many Batman movies!

[WookieBastard]

There can never be too many Batman movies!

actually there are way too many Batman movies and most of the suck...

I've just watched the trailer posted earlier here and it doesn't look very impressive. That bike with cannons... does batman really need to rely that much in technology to get the job done? Now about the joker, Heath Ledger could be a good choice, i was impressed by his latest works and i like how Nolan twisted a bit the typical joker making it look a bit more insane... But again, judging by that trailer, the movie doesn't seem very good, i hope I'm wrong though, i really liked the first one.

Iron Man is also coming up Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbFuW_Jkbg8)

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army Trailer (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=15870)

Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (May 22) No official trailer that i know of...

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/cuar01w_indianajones0802.jpg

Lucas and Harrison Ford working together... perhaps this means the star wars saga will be completed too.

Also, Guillermo del Toro is working on Frankenstein, Wolverine will begin shooting this month, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, telling the story of Wolverine's past. Directed by Gavin Hood i think... hope it's good or the character will be ruined just like Boba Fett was, for example.

[Liquorice]

I think Wolverine is being filmed in NZ? I sure I read that somewhere.

[WookieBastard]

I think Wolverine is being filmed in NZ? I sure I read that somewhere.

Australia for what i know, but it's likely for them to shoot in NZ too.

[Liquorice]

Oh ok its aussie - of course it is, they get everything. (joking).
Yeah they'll prob film on both sides of tasman. They do that a lot, each country has something different to offer.

[Beauty_Fiend]

actually there are way too many Batman movies and most of the suck...

The only one that really sucks is Batman and Robin, the others were all right, even if they didn't really follow the comic book.

... does batman really need to rely that much in technology to get the job done?

He needs something to rely on, considering he doesn't have any powers like other superheroes.

---

Speaking of comic books, there's a Watchmen movie in the works, though it's not scheduled for release until sometime next year. Directed by Zack Snyder, who also did 300. The cinematography looks good from what I've seen (which isn't much), but I still don't know how I feel about Snyder doing the film.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0409459/

[WookieBastard]

The only one that really sucks is Batman and Robin, the others were all right, even if they didn't really follow the comic book.

Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, both of them sucked. Warner was so scared about the Batman franchise that there are like 4 movies that were all written but have never been shot, for what i read, there was even a Batman Beyond movie... thank god they chose not to make a movie out of that.

He needs something to rely on, considering he doesn't have any powers like other superheroes.
i'm ok with him using that "rope-shooting pistol" to climb walls, tracking devices, the batmobile and whatever... but a bike with cannons to the sides? that's a bit too much. DC comics has a problem with technology and superheroes... i mean, i know it's a stupid argument, but still; i've seen action figures of flash riding a bike? makes no sense, or superman in a weird flying machine of some sort...

I don't know. I suppose I'm just biased because I'm a big Batman fan. I didn't think Batman Forever was that bad; not saying that it was a great movie, but it was all right.

No, I agree. They do have a tendency of taking technology a bit too far, but, like I said, Batman kind of needs it. Though I agree that maybe they shouldn't have done the whole bike thing. It's not like Batman doesn't have other weapons fully capable of taking down Joker (or any of the other villains).

I concur. I've heard rumors of a Shazam! movie, though it's been said that the Rock is supposed to be playing Black Adam. Not too happy about that one.
There's also a Green Lantern movie scheduled for 2010 (I think), but I'm a bit scared about the writer/director - Greg Berlanti (http://imdb.com/name/nm0075528/). His writing credits mostly include teen dramas, so I have no idea what he's going to be doing with this.
I'm still waiting for a Preacher movie. There were rumors about it a while ago, but I haven't heard anything since. Though if it's going to be done by Mark Steven Johnson (like rumored), it'd be better off not being made at all.

[Shinoda_San]

i want to see I AM LEGEND... i think its very interesting...is the end of the movie that bad???

well i dont want to soil the ending for you if you want to see it so i'll just let you find out for yourself. i just didnt like the way they ended the movie.

[Gargoyled_Blood]

I saw "Three Men and a Baby" and the sequence "Three Men and a Little Lady". They're both hilarious. I think they're my favorite movies now. I saw "The Fellowship of the Ring" for about the tenth time. I plan to see The LOTR 2&3 as well. Then I saw some other movies a while back, along with Borat, which I hadn't seen yet.

[LPthebest]

I saw INTO THE WILD... Oh my god!!! The best film I've ever seen... can't stop to think about that...And the soundtrack is by eddie vedder... Everything is perfect in that film...:D

[Avii]

I've seen Cloverfiled today and I am VERY impressed.. one of the best movies I've ever seen..

[Fulvia]

I liked very much the film 300, leonida is too hot!!! And he is a true hero!

im really curious about how the new batman movie would do. trailers seem very interesting and Heath Ledger seemed like he really tweaked the Joker character into something freakishly beautiful.

"Iron Man" looks very interesting as well.

I watched "Hard Candy" yesterday. It was an awesome movie. I'm really impressed of the girl Hayley.

Hard Candy Trailer (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=NYBnm1xhM7I)

that movie is on my top 10 favorite movies of all time. very very good movie.

[Shinoda_San]

i just saw Iron Man in the theaters last night. the movie was very very good in my opinion but there is one thing that is bugging me, when the movie ended and the credits started to roll, everyone was still in their seats like they were waiting for more and the lights were still dark, usually they turn it on when the credits start rolling. i just stood up and left cause i dnt usually stick around for the credits. for those of you who saw the movie, is there anything else that was shown after the credits rolled???

[axrinekey]

Yesterday night I watched Epic Movie xDDD

Ahh! It's so funny..
but I still think that Scary Movies are still funnier...
And Date Movie also~ xD

Epic movie didnt really do it for me, as far as the whole spoof comedy movies goes, i think the "Scary Movie" franchise still got it although its kinda getting old.

Did you not think the camera work was a little too jerky?

i couldnt finish the whole movie, i had to open and close my eyes the last 20 mins of the movie. made me wanna throw up later on.

i couldnt finish the whole movie, i had to open and close my eyes the last 20 mins of the movie. made me wanna throw up later on.

that's a new reason for me to watch it. Jerky camera and throwing up. Time to watch.

I got told it's a mix of Gozilla and Blairwitch Project so I'm going to watch it today.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

i couldnt finish the whole movie, i had to open and close my eyes the last 20 mins of the movie. made me wanna throw up later on.

Yeah same here. We were sat at the front of the cinema cos it was packed, so the strained neck didn't help. But yeah, I had to zone in and out at the last bit.

Despite that, it was a good film but I'm not sure I could watch it again.

Yeah saw it last week. Really good, and funny too. The second one is gunna be good, although its not out for about 2 years.

[Shinoda_San]

did u stay til the end of the credits? was there anything shown after the credits were shown?

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I didn't stay till the end, but there is some Samuel L. Jackson action after the credits.

[Shinoda_San]

Sam Jackson? what the hell was he doing after the credits?

[Flames_Go_Higher]

He's in a film with another one of the Avengers in. Not too sure what he's playing. I've had it explained to me but as I'm not a comic book follower, I didn't fully remember.

[Rocksquirrel]

Sam Jackson? what the hell was he doing after the credits?

Rap insertion.

I'm watching right now: Perfume, The Story of a murderer

[Shinoda_San]

oh ok, jus wondering cause when the credits started rolling it was hella weird how nobody was standing up to go home yet. i didnt stay for the whole credits so its been really bugging me why they stayed. now i have an idea of what it is.

I'm really fascinated and impressed by the fact that this movie is from germany and directed by a german. Usually german movies aren't that good besides some good ones.

The novel by Patrick Süskind should be awesome as well. I want to read it.

two drug addicts in love doing everything to get money for drugs, the girl's family puts her in a mental institution to get help and they leave each other. it's all about how drugs screw up your life.

Yeah, I left the guy I was with too, but it was a good thing. Hell, it took him going to prison for 10 years for me to finally wake up and realize how awful the whole thing had gotten. But then, that's a whole other story. A long, long, long story. :p

well i guess your case is different i mean i dunno but i thought she was a bit selfish in the movie coz her family had the money to get her into rehab but he was poor dish washing in a restaurant.

Just watched Hostel...

I must admit, I feel quite sick and cold..
The blood, how the people torture and kill the others by buying them (and the people didn't know about it)...
Okay, the movie's really disgusting...

But the beginning was... SICK too.. o_o
As in, not the killing session, it's the girls who took off their clothes and show their naked body...

Eew...

I was unimpressed by Hostel. I waited til it came out on video, and after I saw it was ranked really high on some "scariest movies ever" list. It was gory, yes, but that was about it for me. Have they come out with the sequel yet? I can't remember. I'll watch it probably, hoping by some chance it's better than the first one. Unlikely though.

[babiiboo]

transformers was such a sick movie!!! i just watched it the other day and it was absolutely amazing!

The sequel has come out, and in my opinion it's much better than the first.. though that's not a difficult thing to achieve when you consider that the first one was piss poor. It goes a bit deeper into the story though, and from both angles.

[Reem]

what do you guys think about 10,000 BC? i watched it the other day, i didnt like it at all, it was so rushed through, and it wasnt what i expected it to be, or at least what the adds said it would be like,i didnt know that they were going to add imaginary stuff,like the whole magic thing and the tiger helping them, and the whole love story,so cheesy, woulda worked better with just them going through time differences and such,i just didnt expect it to be this short and boring at all.

It was originally a John Carpenter slasher, made in the late 70s. Starred Jamie Lee Curtis.

Don't suppose the name Michael Myers rings any alarm bells?

It's up there with Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Old horror is the best, closely followed by Korean horror. <3 If you agree it's certainly one I'd recommend. :]

I second this.

I can't tell from the promos, but is that Liv Tyler in "The Strangers?" If not, it sure looks like her.

And the reviews I read on the new Indy movie were pretty positive. They all said it wasn't the best of them, but if you're a fan of the series you won't be disappointed.

Reincarnation. Japanese horror, was pretty good. Looked kinda low budget though, but I liked the story a lot.

Wishing Stairs. Korean 'horror'. Was quite good, not exactly a must-see though.

[Temperance]

anybody seen "The Strangers" or the new "Indy" movie? i need feedback.

I couldn't help it, I went and saw Indy 4 on Saturday. It was actually pretty good. It was pretty easy to figure out the plot, and the "surprises," but overall it was still good. Plus it was awesome to see Karen Allen (Marion from Raiders) again. I was actually impressed with Shia LeBouf (spelling, sorry). I was afraid he would be awful, but he was actually really good. And shocker or shockers, my hubby actually liked the movie too. And he hasn't liked anything for over a year, lol.

yeah i saw it this weekend too and i kinda liked it. i thought it was very good. im not really into these kinda movies but i liked this one.

[Shinoda_San]

i just saw "The Strangers" this past weekend. i thought it was really good although i thought that the whole "this movie was based on true events..." was kinda crap cause they said that "they werent sure about the events that occured during the whole evening...". all in all, it was very entertaining, kept me on the edge of my seat for the most part.

[Rocksquirrel]

Can somebody tell me how the movie "elevenfourteen" is?

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Okay so rather than watching the new ones, I've been back tracking. This week I watched:

Sixteen Candles.
Say Anything.
The Sure Thing.
Pretty In Pink.

And I loved every one of them. =]

---

Recently I also saw Broken, which was god awful. And Super Bad, which was at least mildly amusing.

[Pure_Ainmhi]

This past week I've seen the following:

The Bourne Supremacy
Beetlejuice
El Mariachi
Midnight Express
Cloverfield.

The Bourne Supremacy I enjoyed. A lot of good editing and good camera work. I don't really rate Matt Damon much as an actor. The car chase scene was also good in it.

Beetlejuice was pretty good too. I'd never seen it before until a couple of days ago. Micheal Keaton is brilliant in it. The special effects aren't all that special. I guess that's because of the time it was made. Still enjoyable though.

El Mariachi has a really good storyline in it and despite the sometimes poor translation, it's a really good film to watch. It was Robert Rodriguez' fisrt film. Well worth a look.

Midnight Express is pretty good too. I like Alan Parker's films. They're generally very good and this is no different. Didn't even realise that it was based on a true story until a day or two after having watched it.

Cloverfield was one of my favourite films of last year. Despite my eyes nearly falling out of my sockets from the constant moving of the camera, I still really enjoyed it. Some parts are extremely funny too.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

I was a bit sceptical of this film and have been trying to avoid it but so far I've seen nothing but good reviews about it. Might be tiime to start watching it. For some reason, to me, it looks like a rip off of Syriana.

i watched The path finder about a month ago, and i don't remember how it went,at all, shows how interesting it was,pff.yet again my memory isn't good at all so it might haave been okay.

[Shinoda_San]

jus saw "Larry The Cable Guy: Wittless Protection". kinda dumb movie, cheesy humor and jokes. i would not recommend this at all to anyone.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

The Thin Red Line.

Personally, I quite like war movies. Though this one seemed to get carried away with the narrative every now and then, I really did enjoy it. Plenty of big names in this movie too, a really well picked and enjoyable cast. Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson and John Cusack (just to name my personal favourites). Though I honestly can't see why they bothered putting George Clooney's name on the case, other than for sale value, since he's only in it for five minutes at the end. xD


Oh, and..
National Treasure 2: Book Of Secrets.

I love Nicholas Cage, though these films aren't really anything to shout about. Now, I know when to judge a movie on pure escapism and that's what this film is. It's not something you'd want to watch if you want a storyline you can really sink your teeth into.
It's one for the family, not for the brain.

[Shinoda_San]

just saw "Tooth and Nails". it's a horror movie from the After Dark series. movie was very neat and kinda kool although i thought it was very predictable and the make up was kinda so and so. if you're a fan of horror movies, i thnk you'd wanna give this a shot and rent it.

[ZARAcutie]

Just watched a movie, about a famous baseball player who all of a sudden meets his biological daughter. The girl totally changes this baseball players life. Mentally and socially. The father becomes a loving daddy in the end. I totally forgot the title of the movie. My damn memory...:(

[Pure_Ainmhi]

Just watched The Bourne Ultimatum. Really good. I enjoyed every minute of it. I'd highly recommend it.

[LP_Fan101]

Superhero Movie!!! It was SO funny!!! :D

[Fake]

Yes I have saw Superhero Movie. Some parts were funny buyt not all. It's worth seeing though.

[Shinoda_San]

"Wristcutters: A Love Story"

watch it, its fuckin good.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

I gave Grosse Pointe Blank my full attention for the first time last night. I can't see why I never did before. Fucking great film, very funny.

[axrinekey]

Watched "The Reaping" few days ago. : )
It's quite.. complicated.. but cool...
I thought it was something like.. killing... ripping of body... etc.
(I'm sick. lol)

I'm sure I've seen that.. who's in it?

[LP_Fan101]

The Bourne Supremacy
Collateral

Pfft, they were shit. I hate Tom Cruise and the guy who plays Jason Bourne (who's name I can't remember). I could kick their arses any day :D

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

the guy who plays Jason Bourne (who's name I can't remember).

Matt Damon.


Personally I wouldn't say Tom Cruise is bad, because he's not. He's made some really good/entertaining movies. Collateral was shit though.

[LP_Fan101]

You're a genuis! :D I can't do names, just faces xD Yeah i don't mind his stuff like Mission Impossible (even though the 2nd was meh) but I just don't really like him. Yep, not only was Collateral shit but it went in one ear and out the other. I didn't understand it :D

[Rocksquirrel]

It's a pity that he is so obsessed with Scientology.

I'm not too bad with actors. Though I often see people and think "who the fuck is that? I know I've seen him in something!" lol

Mission Impossible was good, as was the third. I don't mind the second one too much. My favourite Tom Cruise movies are Interview with the Vampire and Jerry McGuire.
I didn't get far into Collateral. It offended my eyes, and the storyline didn't interest me.

Lol I sit there and go "It's that guy from that film!" xD

Interview with a Vampire is a ledgend film :D I enjoyed that a lot. The first Mission Impossible is my fav. The scene where he's hanging from the ceiling...genius :D

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Yeah, I never got that. It's such a stupid thing. :/

I'm glad I'm not the only one. :p

Oh yes, Interview with the Vampire is brilliant. And I agree, the first MI is the best.

[LP_Fan101]

Is it just me or are we similar? Oh and how was your Friday 13th movie night? :D

I watched some film that actually scared me even though it's just a PG. It had Eddie Murphy in and some REALLY big lady, who I think he played wearing a fat suit xD

[Rocksquirrel]

I suppose we are a bit similar. :p
It was good. Didn't really stick to full tradition though. I watched Friday the 13th, as planned. Then I went for The Thin Red Line, instead. I fancied a war film, and I fancied a John Cusack film. That way I got both. :p

Oh god, Norbet? Or whatever it is? I'm not surprised it scared you. Jesus, Eddie Murphy went down hill.

Oh well at least you watched it :D

Yeah Norbit that was it. Such a strange, waste of money film. I like Eddie Murphy but not in that one.
And Sandra, I love Big Momma's House :p

[Rocksquirrel]

Alright then xD

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Indeed. I really need to try to remember the next one, so I can get myself into the horror spirit! Because I just wasn't having any of it that day, hence the second choice being a war movie instead. :p

Yeah he's not bad. He's done some bloody bad stuff over the years though! lol

[LP_Fan101]

One problem: there's only like one Friday 13th in a year :p

I think he's in a new film called Dave. I've only seen the cardboard cutouts they have at the movies, and it looks a bit err....boring? xD
I really wanna see the new Mummy Returns fim! I love Brendan Fraser! :D

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Well I'll have a long wait then, won't I. xD

I haven't heard about that one. I haven't heard about the new Mummy film either. :eek:

[LP_Fan101]

Well I'll have a long wait then, won't I. xD

I haven't heard about that one. I haven't heard about the new Mummy film either. :eek:

It's really new and I don't even know when it's out, but it looks awesome. Curse of the Dragon Emporer or something. Sounds cool :)

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Ooh, interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one, I really liked the Mummy films.

[LP_Fan101]

The second one was great and it had more of Jonathan in it and he's so funny at times xD But the Scorpian King guy was all CG and that kinda ruined it :(

[Rocksquirrel]

I'm worried about all those remakes which will come, for example Rosemary's Baby. The original movie is awesome.

Remakes suck usually.

I'm also worried and pissed off about some "Part II" movies like, S.Darko. pffffffff.

Those kinds of movies suck either. It will never be as good as the first part.

I like remakes sometimes because I like comparing them with the original version. I watcched the very first KIng Kong today and trust me, the remake of that is WAY better!

I'm too much fan of the originals one though.

[Pure_Ainmhi]

Went to go see The Incredible Hulk today. I was very impressed with it. Edward Norton was pretty good in it but I'm just being biased really because I think that he's a good all round actor.

[Fake]

I've only seen Edward Norton in Fightclub and American History X, but he was damn good :)

[Pure_Ainmhi]

He's pretty good in the hulk. I think for me my favourite movie with him in it is The Score.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

The Score.

That film is fantastic.
My favourite Edward Norton is American History X though.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

One Missed Call 2.
It wasn't bad. As far as Asian horror goes, I've seen better. The first one, for instance. Even though it was clearly a bit low budget, and not done by the director of the first one (Takeshi Miike), it was still quite entertaining. Good for avid horror fans, better for avid Asian horror fans.

Yeah.. I'm here far too much, but I don't really have a lot to do! :/
Actually, you caught me on my way to bed. :p So goodnight! =]

Oh! I'm Ash. I don't believe I know yours either.
And I'm actually going now.. :p

[Shinoda_San]

I'm sure I've seen that.. who's in it?

i believe it was Hilary Swank. its a movie about the biblical plagues.

[Shinoda_San]

I've only seen Edward Norton in Fightclub and American History X, but he was damn good :)


American History X is the shit!!! classic!!

watch the Jap version, its a bit better.

[Shinoda_San]

Full Metal Jacket

another classic. to whoever that hasn't seen it, go see it.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

i believe it was Hilary Swank. its a movie about the biblical plagues.

I have seen it then. It was okay.

watch the Jap version, its a bit better.

There isn't an American remake of One Missed Call 2, for starters. If you had actually read my post, and the film title, you could have worked out I wasn't referring to the remake. I was referring to the Japanese sequel.

ah good. i did like the first one better tho.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

ah good. i did like the first one better tho.

Yeah, I thought the first one was pretty damn good to be honest. The second one wasn't too bad, but as I said before, I have seen better.

[Liquorice]

American History X is the shit!!! classic!!

Agreed, love that movie.

I watched Ice Age the other night, it was on telly. I know I'm very late in watching it, But fuck its awesome, so funny. :p

[mindzmisery]

part one or 2?
they said part 3 is coming out soon but nothing's clarified yet.

just watched The Chronicals of Narnia- the Prince Caspian :cool:
Ben Barnes is just amazing.
and hot :p

[LP_Fan101]

I watched Robin Hood: Men In Tights today. Omg...fucking hilarious! :D

[MissNatalie1984]

i saw Adam Sandler's new flick You Don't Mess With The Zohan.

it was just lame. sure, there were some funny parts, but even so, that couldn'd save the whole movie.

<3 Natalie

[Widge]

After an extended drought I managed to pop a few movies in over the past few weeks. Only notably good ones were Duck, You Sucker (Also called Fistful Of Dynamite) and The Prestige. Both were fantastic, IMO.

I also caught Children Of Men which was good, but overrated. I came away from it expecting something more than I got. And I just watched Miami Vice last night. Farrell and Foxx aren't any Crockett and Tubbs, that's for sure. I liked what I saw, but it didn't have the "Miami Vice" feel by any means.

The prestige was an amazing film! hugh jackman and christian bale played off each other alarmingly well and the story was entertaining and for me, kept me thinking.

I was disappointed with Miami Vice. I'm a big fan of Colin Farrell but the film just seemed to be lacking something.

<3 Natalie

[Widge]

What it was lacking was Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas. They are Crockett and Tubbs.

[On_My_Own]

I want to see Journey To The Center Of The Earth. Looks good and it Brendan Fraser :)

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

I watched Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil the other night. I haven't actually decided whether or not I enjoyed it. I think it went on a little long, without enough to keep me interested. Unfortunate really, considering that John Cusack and Kevin Spacey are great IMO.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

No one else has said it so I will: Sex and the City.

Loved it. <3

Fucking. Spectacular.

:'[

[Shinoda_San]

Yeah, I thought the first one was pretty damn good to be honest. The second one wasn't too bad, but as I said before, I have seen better.

yeah, im very deep into the asian shck horror movies so i have both the first and second. try the thai version of shutter. its been one of my fave's for quite some time. also, try "Cello" (Korean)

[Shinoda_San]

anyone seen the new Hulk movie?? i need some feedback on it so i know if its worth a look.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

yeah, im very deep into the asian shck horror movies so i have both the first and second. try the thai version of shutter. its been one of my fave's for quite some time. also, try "Cello" (Korean)

Thank you for the Thai recommendation, I'll have to look out for that one. Cello is already in my collection, however. :P
I have to say, one of my personal favourites is Phone (Korean).
