Last movie/film you watched?

[Pop music sucks]

Agreed. That's what I like about Miyazaki films, is that no matter how many times you watch it, it's still very entertaining.

And I've always liked magical fantasy more than others, and Howl's Moving Castle is one of his films I like more.

[Meatplow]

beautiful film that, I was impressed with the animation and narrative. :)

[RunAmokRampant]

lol Crank 2 is in production soon.

Apparently the protagonist survives the fall from the helicopter and is revived by an electric shock.

Oh boy.

[Meatplow]

rofl

i would say worst premise ever but i've heard some bad shi' in my time

[Against Miik!]

Just watched Live Free or Die Hard. It was quite possibly the most unrealistic movie I've ever seen. Like, I know its an action movie and its just supposed to be over the top and entertaining, but not one part of this movie was based on anything that could remotely happen. They make it seem like hackers could remotely operate my microwave oven if they wanted to.

[RunAmokRampant]

Yeah, but the movie was still fun as hell.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Casino is fantastic but so is Goodfellas. The relationship between Stone and De Niro was perfectly played out and Pesci is at his peak as his psychodwarf stereotype.

[Akira]

I didn't like Hard Candy.

Too much talking, too much jerky camera, ridiculous angle on the pedophile thing, irritating dialogue, I really did not see the big deal with this. Call if a slow burning thriller and i'll call it a badly written and excruciatingly difficult to sit through film.

What? It was very intentionally a dialog-driven movie. That's like saying Shoot 'Em Up had too much shooting.

[Mister_Che]

Cloverfield. Even with the motion sickness, it was still pretty awesome.

[Meatplow]

What? It was very intentionally a dialog-driven movie. That's like saying Shoot 'Em Up had too much shooting.

spoilers

It could of done with less OMG you're an evil monster because you go for jailbait girls, I found this angle really irritating where he's tied up to the chair and shes going nuts. Sure he killed her friend or whatever but it went on far too long. It could of been tense but I found it very poorly written.

"I don't like Goldfrapp, I just said I did, i calculated the time you took for a response and it was JUST ENOUGH to check out reviews on amazon.com" or whatever she said which was similar, I just found shi' like this really lame. Where he's gone to all the effort to burn underage pr0n and store it in a safe and she checks his download manager to find some activity makes me groan, I think its an insult to anyone who can even partially use a computer.

Now I don't think it was all terrible, there is a scene where she's bout to cut his nuts off and he relays an experience from his childhood that I found compelling and effective. The action at the end wasn't so bad either, though I found the jerky camera work a really cheap way to make it try and seem more tense but I see that in a lot of movies.

In short I think the idea had potential but the script was really weak, the only way it scraped by is because the acting was credible to a degree and a bunch of horny 15+ guys who get off thinking about some jailbait going nuts on some pedo is a really good idea for a film.

/end rant

[Akira]

Well Ellen Page's character is obviously pretty psychotic. It's not as though the message of the film is that pedophiles are evil. That angle was just part of her character. If she didn't think that, how would the movie have made sense?
And your last insult about 15 year olds doesn't even make sense.

[Meatplow]

It went to extravagant lengths to show she was psychotic, and maybe it was trying to create an ambiguity where you don't know which character to sympathize with but ultimately I didn't give a **** about either of them because the dialogue was ridiculous and drawn out far too much.

By that last comment I meant anyone over the age of 15 probably went to see it because of the mere premise of shock value in its theme, I know I did. For some, this shock value and the fact the film has a few inspired moments will be enough to rate this film highly, unjustified or not.

[jrowa001]

27 Dresses - 6/10. i took my girlfriend to see it, she loved it of course. it actually wasnt that bad for a romantic comedy but it just overstayed its welcome (1h 47m). plus it has Katherine Heigl and Malin Akerman....it was hard me not to drool the whole movie

[Meatplow]

I've been watching Agantuk, an indian film by Satyajit Ray which I am quite impressed with so far. I need to finish it when I get the chance.

[benfan]

Just watched Memento.

I though it was abit plop until about 15 minutes after when i thought about it properly.
It made me feel strangely uncomfortable for the first 20 minutes for some reason, what with not really having a grasp at what was going on.
I thought the two narratives worked really well, and when they merged together it felt 'right' as opposed to a shoddy idea bieng forced onto you by the director.
I could connect with the Lenny really well, which is odd when you think that he doesnt really have many conscious personal traits to latch onto due to his illness.

All in all i thought i was a really good film that was pulled off brilliantly, and the ending was awesome. You think you know how it ends, with it bieng in reverse, but it still manages to catch you out!

Sweet.

[beans]

love momento, even though it took me a few times to come to understand everything

but the last movie i watched was donnie darko
4.5/5
loved this movie, again took some time to understand and comprehend it but it was an awesome movie.

whatd you think of cloverfield?

[Jawaharal]

Saw superbad for the first time. The cops were the best.

[The Stig]

Superbad was decent for a teen comedy but nothing beyond a 3/5.

[Danger Bird]

yeah well decent is the new perfect

[The Stig]

There was so much hype over it though. People were referring to it as the best comedy of all time.

[beans]

There was so much hype over it though. People were referring to it as the best comedy of all time.

now its definitely not that, but i still thought it was pretty damn funny nonetheless

[ZapatoDiablo]

It's about 1/10 as funny the second time.

[Akira]

It's about 1/10 as funny the second time.

It's less funny, but I wouldn't go that far.

I just watched Smokin' Aces. I didn't really "get" the movie, so to speak. I mean it was too contrived and ridiculous and funny to be a serious action movie, but it was too dark and took itself too seriously to be a parody like Shoot 'Em Up. I felt it walked a fine line through the whole movie, and it didn't work for me.
Plus seeing the guy who plays Ari on Entourage playing someone besides Ari is weird.

I can't justify more than 2-2.5/5, because the attempts to be serious just failed. The movie should have cut the drama and gone the route of Shoot 'Em Up. If it had, they could have had a really good thing going.

[planewreck]

Saw Cloverfield again.

Just as good the second time.

[Against Miik!]

27 Dresses - 6/10. i took my girlfriend to see it, she loved it of course. it actually wasnt that bad for a romantic comedy but it just overstayed its welcome (1h 47m). plus it has Katherine Heigl and Malin Akerman....it was hard me not to drool the whole movie

i agree, i really liked it. and i didnt mind the camera either.
the only people who complained about it are the ones who got to the theater late and had to sit in the front row.

[Against Miik!]

I was in like the 4th and it was not pleasant.

[Time]

There Will Be Blood 9.5/10

Best acting I've ever seen pretty much. I'd give it a 10/10 but I felt like it was just a tiny bit too long.

[beans]

I was in like the 4th and it was not pleasant.

well yeah, the fourth row is more twords the front, im sure it sucked

[Against Miik!]

4th row

yeah now that i look at that, it seems a little redundant huh? lol

[Tillius]

The Orphanage

Pretty good I thought. I liked the lead actress, thought she did a really god job, and the story was pretty interesting. It wasn't scary like I hoped but how it played out made up for it. Something I wouldn't mind seeing again/buying.

4/5

Also, some people walked out of it complaining that they didn't know it was going to be in Spanish. Why would anybody have a problem with subtitles?

[Waldo]

2001 a space odyssey - 0/10

This is America. We shouldn't have to read in movies, that's what books are for.

guillmero's last movie was all in spanish so its to be expected

[Danger Bird]

We have books?!

[Meatplow]

subtitles are better then poor dubs and some good dubs as well

[Akira]

We have books?!

It's a figure of speech. Duh.




Dubs suck.

[Tillius]

Like I said, if you're watching a bad movie with subtitles then yes they suck but a good movie with subtitles should distract you from them altogether. Yes, I was reading subtitles but I kinda forgot I was when the movie got going because I stopped paying attention to that fact because the movie itself was able to keep my interest.

[ZapatoDiablo]

Day Watch (w/ English subtitles)

7/10

Good action, complicated story (I'll have to watch it again). Overall a very entertaining film but I didn't get much more out of it personally, however I am enjoying this series more than say The Matrix trilogy.

[jrowa001]

Rescue Dawn - 8/10. really enjoyed this. both Bale and Zahn played their role convincingly

[Cocaine]

I watched part of Ghost Rider and it was ****ing hilarious.

"He may have taken my soul but he can't take my spirit!"
"Any man thats got the guts to sell his soul for love has got the power to change the world, you didn't do it for greed, you did it for the right reason, maybe that puts God on your side, to them that makes you dangerous, makes you unpredictable, thats the best thing you can be right now."

Hilarious! But Nick Cage's face ****ing scares me. It doesnt move.

[Akira]

Yes, I was reading subtitles but I kinda forgot I was when the movie got going because I stopped paying attention to that fact because the movie itself was able to keep my interest.

I always forget about the subtitles in subtitled movies. It seems so natural and easy to read them that I forget the movie is not in English.

[Meatplow]

Same here. The amount of people it bothers though is ridiculous.

[The Stig]

This is America. We shouldn't have to read in movies, that's what books are for.

Or just learn the languages.

I can get through most of the smaller Russian parts in the Bourne movies and a few others and pick up a lot of the Soviet rendition of War and Peace we are watching in my literature class without needing the subtitles. And I could get about 80% of Pan's Labyrinth without them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Lethal Weapon 3. 3.5/5

[Phil]

Coachella. It says play film at the start therefore a film, so yeah, it was cool.

Million dollar baby 4/5. Cool, was on TV and I liked it. The ending was unpredictable.

[the2stranger]

Day Watch (w/ English subtitles)

7/10

Good action, complicated story (I'll have to watch it again). Overall a very entertaining film but I didn't get much more out of it personally, however I am enjoying this series more than say The Matrix trilogy.
I've seen Nightwatch, t was quite good.
But the story is a bit too complicated for its own good. or well you get too much info in a too short time.
Which makes it go back and forth, making it difficult to focus.

But still a pretty enjoyable movie, I hopeI can find Day Watch some time, because I can only seem to find it in foreign internetstores which charge way too much money.

Last night I watched:

Conan, The Destroyer.
Actually it's quite bad, but that gives the movie its charm.
Pretty funny adventure movie that doesn't take itself too serious.

6/10 + 0,5/10 for the amount of cheese = 6,5/10

[combustion07]

Mr. Brooks
8/10
and The Heartbreak Kid 7/10

[beans]

mr brooks owns, good psychological thriller, although anything with dane cook in it brings the movie down just a little bit

[Tillius]

Whatever.
Dane Cook did a great job in that movie. His stand-up comedy is pretty bad but he does some good movies.(excluding Good Luck Chuck and Employee of the Month)
The only thing that brough down Mr. Brooks at all was the Demi Moore storyline.

[Riziger]

Grendel 0/5

Pure crap, crap acting, crap graphics, crap actors. Only watched this because I watched Beowulf and had nothing else to do on a boring afternoon.

[Tyr]

Balls of Fury - 2/5

Pretty boring film, but Christopher Walken is good.

I hated that movie.
We rented Rush Hour 3 yay :rolleyes: :angry:

[beans]

the rush hour series is played out...nothing even remotely funny in the third one

[combustion07]

I told her, DAMN!!! I've got to watch it tonight.

[beans]

yeah its not that funny, maybe a few chuckle points but nothing like the first one

[Time]

Children of Men 9/10

One of my favorite movies. Brilliant story and filming.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Balls of Fury - 2/5

Pretty boring film, but Christopher Walken is good.

One of those movies where they try to do the stupid funny thing too hard and end up making it just stupid.

[Akira]

People just don't understand how to walk the line between stupid funny and just plain stupid anymore.

[beans]

what do you think was the last movie to do that good?
walk the line between funny and stupid?

[planewreck]

well*

[combustion07]

I found Hot Rod funny not many people agree with me on that, but whatever...

Oh I just got done with Rush Hour 3 1.5/10

[beans]

pretty stupid no?

[combustion07]

pretty stupid no?

Rush Hour 3?
If so then yes, I chuckled like twice, I'm not impressed but I was expecting much anyway.

[beans]

yes rush hour 3 it shall be dumb

[combustion07]

Pretty much Chris Tucker just annoys me now, at least in this trilogy(lol) I used to like him.

[beans]

he was funny in moneytalks and friday...thats really about it

[combustion07]

I think those are the only other movies I've seen him in. Oh, and btw good list, aside from Impending Doom (I'm banned from the review site, I'm blackened07, it won't let me comment.)

[beans]

haha what'd you do to get banned? and i agree they're not the best band, but they're a fun listen at the moment

[combustion07]

Spamming in a Trivium review...

The Simpsons Movie 6/10

EDIT: Its perminent too. :/

[Montana]

Cloverfield 7.5/10 - Crack in film form. Pretty intense, sweet effects, and so on.

Logan's Run - 6/10 - The concept was good, but it was interlaced with too much stupidness. The fact that it's a sci-fi film from the 70s with "special effetcs" makes it entertaining, though.

[beans]

haha that sucks
i really liked the simpsons movie, i laughed thoroughly

[combustion07]

haha that sucks
i really liked the simpsons movie, i laughed thoroughly

I liked it but it just seemed to much like a long episode of the Simpsons.
Yeah I'm never allowed to go back to the review site. :/

true, and that sucks even with your new sn and stuff?

[Who's the Boss?]

The Driver (1978 I think)

Two words, "Bad" "***"

[MattSharpIsCool]

1408

I thought it was pretty good. I've never read the book so I didn't really have a clue what it was about, but I liked it. Nice and creepy, which is what I like best in horror movies. Now I need to read the story.

I think one of the best parts was soon after he enters the room, the clock starts counting down and everything goes silent except for the ringing.

7/10

[Tillius]

Hard Candy

Second time watching it, mainly for the fact that my friend wanted to watch it for the first time and I remembered it being pretty good. I still think it's a good movie. He hated it though. He said he doesn't see how it's entertaining to watch somebody go through torture but this is coming from somebody who likes Hostel so whatever.
Ellen Page is awesome in this movie. I hope she does well in her career because she has definitely got talent.

4/5

[Kage]

He said he doesn't see how it's entertaining to watch somebody go through torture but this is coming from somebody who likes Hostel so whatever.

My brain can't even process that.

Jarhead 8.5/10

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Yeah Jarhead was a good movie.

American History X - 9/10

[UpperDecker]

Cloverfield 5/10

I was hoping it would live up to the hype and it wasn't even close. Alot of bad acting too (not all of it but alot of it). Alot of things were just too unbelievable and its supposed to come off as a real documentary. Oh well, its still cool seeing a monster destroy a city.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

American Beauty - 9/10

[Tillius]

My brain can't even process that.

I didn't even make the attempt to discuss it with him.


Anybody seen Shadow of the Vampire?

I've been wanting to watch it for the longest time and have it saved right now so I might watch it tonight when I get home from work.


Opinions?

shaun of the dead

8/10

pretty much one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. one of the best parodies ever.

[Knifeboy]

Man, I so suck at watching movies... I saw the ten first minutes of Juno, 2 days ago and thought "Hey that was pretty good, I'll watch the rest later"

[Robert Crumb]

Good Shepherd

It was ok, a little long and dry.

[combustion07]

Broken 3/10 I like torture movies but that is absolutely all this is, it has no sensible plot.

[Against Miik!]

This movie called Driving Lessons with that ginger kid from Harry Potter. It was pretty horrible and I don't think he will make it as an actor outside of the HP movies. I've never seen them so I don't know if he's any good or not, but I bet he's making some serious bank.

[Spiney_Norman]

Sunshine
8.5/10
Pretty good, good acting with an epic score and great plot, but slightly trippy. Probly take a couple of watches for me to completely understand what's going on, but still very good.

Sideways.

Paul Giamatti put on a great performance.

[Kage]

There Will Be Blood

9/10

My head is whirling. Lots and lots of texture to this movie, lots to think about. And of course Danny D. was outta sight. Jonny Greenwood's score was brilliant.

Undoubtedly the best movie of 2007.

I don't know, No Country gives it a run for its money.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i would actually love to see a scene between anton chigurh and carson wells (or with some random extra at a diner) discussing milkshakes.

[Kage]

I don't know, No Country gives it a run for its money.

For me No Country is worse by a very big margin.

[iarescientists]

I really liked NCFOM, and didn't think I could like TWBB as much as I did NCFOM, but after walking out of the theater it didn't really seem like much of a contest.

Everything about TWBB is so phenomenal, right down to the ****ing soundtrack.

[Tillius]

I haven't seen NCFOM, but it turns out TWBB is playing at a theatre down the road from me so I'm actually probably gonna get to see it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Die Hard 2. 3/5

[Win A Rabbit]

The Ten

I had higher expectations. There were some good ones, but most were mediocre at best.

5.5/10

[Against Miik!]

Yeah The Ten was disappointing. Which is too bad, because it had such a great cast.

[Riziger]

Children of Men 9/10

One of my favorite movies. Brilliant story and filming.

Watched that a few days ago. Didn't really get into it but prolly cos i started from the middle.

NCFOM didn't even have a soundtrack I don't think. Not until the very end. I haven't seen TWBB yet so I can't comment on its better than NCFOM but I doubt it would be better, that film was extraordinary.

Event Horizon 8/10

dont know why but this movie scared the **** outta me, the hellish sequences are crazy if you put them in slo-mo

[Kage]

I saw that a long time ago and it was crazy. I can't remember much about it; I'd like to see it again and see if it stands up today.

[beans]

i bought it cause im a big fan of laurence's and it freaked me out, it had a few nods to some old horror movies that i thought were cool. like the shining and robert wiser's the haunting, it was cool to see those in there

[Interstate]

Signs (2002) - It was ok but it didn't help that I'd seen Scary Movie 3 before watching this as I was recollecting on the Scary Movie scenes all the way through the film. 7/10

[Knifeboy]

I'd give signs about a 3/10

And Event Horizon 8-9/10, one of the best horror movies to come out in the past 10 or so years

[Kage]

And Event Horizon 8-9/10, one of the best horror movies to come out in the past 10 or so years

In that case, I might rent that tonight.

[beans]

the great cast doesnt hurt either

yeah Event Horizon freaked me out a bit when I was younger. good film.

[Iscariot]

The Battle of Shaker Heights - 9/10

This was a really, really good movie. I saw it on IFC last night and I was impressed. Shia LaBeouf is a good natural talent.

[Static]

Shia LaBeouf is greaaaaat.

[Interstate]

Tell Your Children/Reefer Madness (1936) - A tongue in cheek, anti-drug film about the effects of marijuana on the youth of America. Very naive and funny, although reviews suggest it was deliberately exaggerated to get around the film censors at the time. Quite entertaining. 8.5/10

[combustion07]

I Am Legend- 8/10
2nd time now.

Found it nothing special tbh; entertained but generic.

i was just saying it scared me purrty good for some reason, and i liked the homages to the old school horror films

[VomitStainedCretin]

i was just saying it scared me purrty good for some reason, and i liked the homages to the old school horror filmsI've probably been overly desensitised concerning the 'getting scared' stuff, though 'jumps' still usually get me when they're not overly easy to see coming. The 'homages' were at times a bit too similar to the original. It's basically sci-fi horror with semi-psychological elements. But maybe I'm just more cynical filmwise than you.

[Iscariot]

Yeah, I saw that on IFC a few weeks ago, pretty cool movie. I'd probably give it more of a 7.5/10, though.


IFC ftw

Oh well, I'd probably give Donnie Darko a 6.5-7/10 for it's presumptuousness alone so we're even. :p

[beans]

loved donnie darko that rabbit freaked me out the first time i watched it

[Spiney_Norman]

Superbad - great fun, pretty stupid but still hilarious in parts, especially the policemen :) 8.7/10

and

Batman Begins - gritty, grimy and epic; even though I think Christian Bale is a terrible actor, he's perfect in this.

ive been meaning to see event horizon forever no place has it though tbh it looks sick

[iarescientists]

i remember seeing event horizon when i was like 10 or something

it was pretty cool and scared the **** out of me, and i'd like to rewatch it, since i don't remember much except being scared

[beans]

ive been meaning to see event horizon forever no place has it though tbh it looks sick

it is sick, get the dvd and slo-mo the hell sequences, some messed up but very well done sh*t in there

[Iscariot]

I've only seen it once but I remember it was a really cool movie.

[Strum]

event horizon started a heep of scifis that tried to emulate it or stole the scifi concepts from it (sunshine comes straight to mind, also supernova)

nothing comes close to EH, it's a badass film


lately i seen The Departed and The Astronaut Farmer, loved both of them, this weekend i'll watch Babel

[Iscariot]

I've been meaning to see the Astronaut Farmer. Billy Bob Thornton is a good actor.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Event Horizon=some guys saw the original Solaris and thought adding some psychological horror elements and the Alien-style claustrophobic atmosphere would be cool. At least that's my interpretation of it. Still, yes, it isn't a bad popcorn flick.

[beans]

i hated solaris newer one and older one. thought it was painstakingly boring and way too drawn out

event horizon owns solaris...but not alien

[The Stig]

Good Shepherd

It was ok, a little long and dry.

It was long, but I found it engaging. At least an 8 for me.

Watched the first Bill and Ted last night and watching the second one right now. The first is a classic, as cheesy as it is. I'll give it a nine or so.

As for the second, it holds a special place with me, but probably a 6 overall.

[sadtaste]

Man, I can't remember if I've seen Event Horizon or not.

[Who's the Boss?]

Event Horizon=some guys saw the original Solaris and thought adding some psychological horror elements and the Alien-style claustrophobic atmosphere would be cool. At least that's my interpretation of it. Still, yes, it isn't a bad popcorn flick.

That's basically it, I liked Event Horizon though.Original Solaris was good, the idea was better than the execution in my opinion though.

[Meatplow]

I heard theres a similarity between Event Horizon and the Silent Hill games that makes me want to check it out.

[Aeaon]

Barry Lyndon was amazing.


9.5/10

[thedeadwalk!]

The King of Kong

Documentary about an unknown challenger taking on the world record in Donkey Kong.

This was quite interesting. Everyone took pride in what they were doing to the point where there was this sort of Evil Empire working against this outsider challenger (except the filmmaker). The champeen had his little lackey on scene to watch the newcomer, and he himself is a judge in accepting world records, which would incidentally be breaking his. It's just very interesting to see how seriously they take arcade gaming, and the rules for accepting scores. There's just this way of thinking that makes sense, but to the extent it's played out is just ridiculous.

7.5/10

[Tillius]

:lol:


I must watch this.

[Akira]

I read some review calling the King of Kong amazing, and it wasn't even kidding.

It made Owen from EW's top 10 list, didn't it?

[Win A Rabbit]

I watched The Ten with commentary last night before bed.

I think it was the first time I actually listened to commentary through a whole movie.

David Wain, Ken Marino, Paul Rudd, David Wain's parents, and a jazz bassist. Quite entertaining.

[thedeadwalk!]

There's definitely a lot of value to it. I grew up reading magazines praising Billy Mitchell for his ability, and seeing him so petty (as well the whole environment they're in) is really eye opening. It's like a bunch of Dungeons and Dragons nerds in an eternal game of what die rolls are valid and lore lived by.

Looks really funny. Can't wait to see it.

[Win A Rabbit]

Looks really funny. Can't wait to see it.
tbh I thought it was kind of disappointing. I love everything David Wain touches. Wet Hot American Summer was one of the funniest movies I've seen, Stella is one of my favorite shows, The State was awesome. But The Ten suffers from the amount of stuff going on in such a short amount of time.

10 stories with a mini-story going throughout squeezed into an hour and a half just leaves you wanting more out of each.

It's still worth watching, there's some real good stuff in there, but it still lacks a bit.

[Seafroggys]

The Savages

7/10

When watching this film I knew instantly "this is definitally an 'Oscar'-movie." And I was right, for two days later I saw the nominations.

Not exactly my type of film, to be honest. Good, but a bit blegh.

[Alf™]

Juno

Not what I was expecting, but still pretty awesome.

8/10

[penelope weird hands]

Zodiac.
Not bad.

6.5/10

[Iscariot]

Considering what an awful actor Jake Gyllenhaal is I can't imagine Zodiac being more than 1/10.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The Bourne Ultimatum 9/10

probably my favourite of the series.

[Interstate]

The Bourne Ultimatum 9/10

probably my favourite of the series.

Same. I thought it was better than the other two in the way that it didn't let up, action wise through the whole film. The first two annoyed me slightly in that there were massive gaps between the action scenes.

[bradc1988]

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - I thought it was quite good, the singing was refreshing and some of the tunes stayed with me. Depp and Carter were great, and there was some good lulz in there as well. 9/10

Cloverfield - Also quite good, it took so long to get into it but once it did it was intense. I liked it, and there should/hopefully be a sequel. 9/10

[combustion07]

The Hitcher II- 7/10 some cool suspense moments but not really all that scary.

[Graffito]

Sweeney Todd 10/10.

Farking loved it.

[superpeer]

Manhattan 9/10

Very witty, touching and relaxing. I love Woody Allen.

[Meatplow]

Excellent animation, engaging story and soundtrack.

[planewreck]

Can't wait for that to come out. The graphic novel is just about perfect.

[Cocaine]

Considering what an awful actor Jake Gyllenhaal is I can't imagine Zodiac being more than 1/10.

I thought Zodiac was an easy 9/10

[planewreck]

Zodiac is a 5/5 for me.

[Tillius]

Zodiac was excellent and how is Jake Gyllenhaal a terrible actor?

I watched Life After People last night. It was a documentary on the history channel, one of the only ones I've ever been interested enough in to watch it all the way through. Pretty interesting look into what might/quite possibly will happen if/when people are no longer on Earth one day.

4/5

[beans]

Shattered 7/10
pierce brosnan was really good, so was maria bello and a really good twist at the end. some pretty good acting from just about everyone in the movie too. a pleasant suprise

[gmoneyguy]

Definitely.

Pleasantville - 7.5/8 out of 10.


Brilliant movie, really. Very entertaining, with great performances throughout (save for Tobey, I guess.)

[Ed Wood]

Definitely.

Man I forgot to Tivo it.

there are shows like that on history/national geographic/discovery all the time

children of men

finally got around to watching it

[Retropusso]

Saw IV - 5/5

Amazing movie. I can't wait for Saw V.

[Kage]

Stop using purple font.

[beans]

its really hard to read for myself

and saw 4 sucked...a lot

[Iscariot]

Every Saw movie sucks it's not a recent phenomenon.

[Cocaine]

I saw the first and couldn't take it seriously at all. It was awful.

[beans]

i thought it was a good idea but the acting in the first one was god awful the second and 3rd were the best in the series imo

[talk show host]

I saw the first and couldn't take it seriously at all. It was awful.

Same here. I did try to watch the second one but got about 5 minutes in and the quick-cuts were driving me up the wall. Never again.

[Cocaine]

The first Saw was a pretty basic and obvious idea, one that's been done many times, and much better at that.

[Against Miik!]

I just watched what is possibly the best stoner movie ever made. It's called Smiley Faces. Sooo funny because it doesn't just make lame pot jokes like Half Baked. I'm not sure if its out yet.

[Cocaine]

Isn't it just Smiley Face?

[thedeadwalk!]

Eagle vs. Shark

It's like New Zealand's Napoleon Dynamite.

[Kage]

Because it sucks.

[Who's the Boss?]

Alien is the ****, you're crazy.

[Kage]

I might like it if I had never seen The Thing.

[Mexican Bandito]

No Cuntry for Old men - ****ing awesome

[Pastorius]

Requiem for a Dream

10/10

After watching The Fountain, I thought I'd watch this. God damn is that film messed up or what.

[beans]

which one? the fountain or requiem?

[Pastorius]

Requiem.

The Fountain is pretty strange, but I wouldn't say it's messed up. I'm not sure who the director is, but stylistically both films are just so spot on.

[beans]

i havnt seen either i was thinking about renting the fountain. maybe ill rent both of em

[talk show host]

Requiem.

The Fountain is pretty strange, but I wouldn't say it's messed up. I'm not sure who the director is, but stylistically both films are just so spot on.

Pi's worth a watch if you haven't seen it too.

Last film I watched was Spun. Didn't think much of it.

[Pastorius]

I think I've seen the start of Pi, I've got it on my computer somewhere anyway. It was a terrible quality one, I might get the DVD or something.

[beans]

ive seen Pi in the store a few times and i keep passing it, i might check it out, give me a brief synopsis

[talk show host]

ive seen Pi in the store a few times and i keep passing it, i might check it out, give me a brief synopsis

It's about a mathmetician guy searching for number patterns in nature and the stock market in particular, and various shady characters pursuing him. I dunno, the story is pretty irrelavent - it's the visuals and soundtrack that make the film which is basically what I like about Aranofsky.

[sadtaste]

No Cuntry for Old men - ****ing awesome

Can I buy a vowel?

Requiem for a Dream

10/10

After watching The Fountain, I thought I'd watch this. God damn is that film messed up or what.

Mm, need to hunt that film down.

[beans]

alright ill check it out then

[EightMilesHigh]

Pi is an excellent example of the idea that you don't need a big budget and special effects to make a film that can blow your mind.

[beans]

sounds like my type of movie, ill be renting it tonight any other suggestions?

[Knifeboy]

I reaally disliked PI... Sure ,the visuals are pretty damned cool, but the story is completely nonsensical....


... I also didn't like Requiem for a dream, because it made me feel like ****, but since that's what it set out to do, I can't really critisize it because of that

[Kage]

The story makes complete sense.

[Knifeboy]

the view on mathemathics, religion, and computers in the movie, makes no sense whatsoever

[Kage]

I hope we're not getting into the whole "the math is nonsense" bit again.

But I'm interested, how does the view on religion and computers make no sense?

[jrowa001]

Pi is a great movie. great visuals and music. and math is the best

[Knifeboy]

I hope we're not getting into the whole "the math is nonsense" bit again.

But I'm interested, how does the view on religion and computers make no sense?

I can't remember the bit about religion right now because I'm quite drunk

but the scenes with the microprocessor chips and the reasons he need it, are quite dumb

[Kage]

Eh, I suppose, but I can look past that.

[Knifeboy]

Funny thing is, even though I've disliked both the movies I've seen of Darren Aronofsky, I'm a fan, and am looking quite forward to watching The Fountain

[talk show host]

The Fountain is his best.

[Kage]

I think the Fountain is his worse.

I really dislike the trend of grandiosity he has building up.

[Erratic]

How can you give Alien 2/5?

The first 3/4 of the movie is really boring. It wasn't suspenseful at all and we saw the alien for about 3 and a half minutes of total screen time.

[talk show host]

I think the Fountain is his worse.

I really dislike the trend of grandiosity he has building up.

I could do without a couple of the future scenes of Hugh Jackman reaching enlightenment but I thought it was far more emotionally grounded than Requiem or Pi.

[thedeadwalk!]

I don't like Requiem or Pi, but love The Fountain.

[Luc214]

we saw the alien for about 3 and a half minutes of total screen time.

That's the point dumbass.

It's boring if you see everything all at once.

[RunAmokRampant]

The first 3/4 of the movie is really boring. It wasn't suspenseful at all and we saw the alien for about 3 and a half minutes of total screen time.

You have to take into account the context of the film. You're just desensitized from today's gorefest movies that replace suspense with gratuitous violence.

[planewreck]

holy **** thank you

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Spy Game 8.5/10

The first 3/4 of the movie is really boring. It wasn't suspenseful at all and we saw the alien for about 3 and a half minutes of total screen time.
I suppose you think Alien vs. Predator is the best thing ever too.

[thedeadwalk!]

Rush Hour 3

Pretty bleh all around, but Jackie Chan saying "maybe we should put on a dirty movie?" was worth it.

6/10

[Danger Bird]

Went to see Rambo, ended up seeing about 30 min of Juno and all of Cloverfield.

Juno gets 8.5/10 from what I saw, I wish we had stayed but my friends had both seen it twice.

Cloverfield gets 6/10. Not terrible or particularly great. Obviously doesn't live up to the hype, but it had its intensity. Wait for the DVD though, I've never gotten sick from a movie before but this gave me a headache.

As for Aronofsky I liked Requiem, but Pi was one of the few movies I've ever had to turn off half-way through. So boring.

[Spiritofmosa]

Childern of Men, 4/5
ITs funny to see Clive Owen taking care of a baby again; the only other movie i saw which he was in it was shoot em' up.
Anyway the movie was great , touching and has a great soundtrack.

[Win A Rabbit]

Sleepy Hollow

For some reason my friends really wanted to watch this tonight, and ended up driving 30 minutes into the city to go rent it, and pick me up from work when I finished so I could go watch it with them.

Was ridiculous, which I suppose is better than it being boring. And atleast it was a group of friends where we can all make fun of the movie together and nobody's telling us to shut up.

3/10 as a serious movie

6/10 for a joke movie

[planewreck]

Childern of Men, 4/5

[Danger Bird]

I liked Children of Men but I don't get the hype.

[planewreck]

It's a classic.

[Win A Rabbit]

Seeing Cloverfield tomorrow.

It was between that and Meet The Spartans, and MTS looks lame tbh.

I'm not too excited about Cloverfield, but I'd rather see it in theaters than wait to see it on dvd.

[Danger Bird]

It was between that and Meet The Spartans, and MTS looks lame tbh.
Lol you think?

CoM was decent to slightly above average. I guess that's classic by today's standards but I don't get some of the amazing praise it gets.

[planewreck]

Oh, yes, I obviously don't have a firm enough grasp to distinguish between "slightly above average" and a "true classic."

But by today's standards those are the same thing!

[RunAmokRampant]

Lol you think?

CoM was decent to slightly above average. I guess that's classic by today's standards but I don't get some of the amazing praise it gets.

Dude, the cinematography was brilliant.

[the2stranger]

Cloverfield:
8/10

Acting wasn't that good, but that wasn't really the point.
Hardly any worthwhile stortyline, but again, not the point either.
The camerawork was refreshing for a thriller/scifi movie.

[Tyr]

Rashômon - 3/5

Not Kurosawa's best or anything, but I can see why this was groundbreaking when it was released.


Rendition - 3/5

This film had potential, despite having Reese Witherspoon. Also, this wasn't Jake Gyllenhaal's greatest moment. He pretty much just goes around in a daze the whole time.

[aria]

road to perdition 5 out of 5 i love this movie

[RunAmokRampant]

American History X

8/10

Edward Norton's finest performance

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Casualties of War 2/5

road to perdition 5 out of 5 i love this movie
I need to see that again.

[Against Miik!]

I saw Road to Perdition in theaters in 2002 when it came out. I was 13, and I haven't seen it since. I probably should give it a second look.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

I saw the new Rambo tonight.

Dude, wtf @ that film. It was so bloody it was awesome.

8/10 for the pure enjoyment of seeing people ripped to shreds by bullets.

[Pop music sucks]

Session 9

5/10

Eh...mehh..ehhhhh. It was okay, for a made-for-TV movie. At least, I'm guessing it was a made-for-TV movie. The only creepy part is where what'shisface is walking back to that treasure trove and he sees a silhouette of a guy in the tunnels and freaks out.

Superbad

6/10

I know this movie was funny. But it centered around alcohol, which I've had a bad experience when I was growing up, so I didn't find it all too exciting or easily justifiable.

[the2stranger]

I saw the new Rambo tonight.

Dude, wtf @ that film. It was so bloody it was awesome.

Renaissance-7/10
Extremely visual movie, i think they play it as a gimmick but its a damn good movie, the story isnt the most in depth story but the visuals carry most of the film, but i would reccomend it to anyone who hasnt seen it yet.

Good Will Hunting

Finally got around to seeing this all the way through, it's as good as I heard. I'm not going to bother giving it a rating, but it's just a great film.

[Interstate]

Seen a few movies at my friend's place yesterday and today:

Dolemite (1975) - An insanely bad blaxploitation film and yet somehow very entertaining. Starring Rudy Ray Moore as Dolemite, a pimp who has recently been released from jail on the condition that he catches the rival pimp that set him up in the first place.
The production is terrible, there are visible boom mics in a lot of scenes, the fight sequences are poor but somehow it seems to hold your attention the whole way through. 7/10

Pulse (2006) - From IMDB: "The hacker Josh invades the computer of Douglas Ziegler, who is developing a powerful wireless signal and accidentally releases a mysterious force that take the will to live of the human beings, generating a suicide epidemic and increasing the force. His girlfriend and student of psychology Mattie sees each one of their common friends die and the destruction of the modern world, and together with her new acquaintance Dexter, they try to plan a virus developed by Josh in the network to shutdown the system and save mankind."

The plot is terrible, the acting is terrible but the cinematography and production is for some reason, unbelieveably good. A worthwhile watch. 8/10

Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) - This is the latest installment in the Godzilla franchise. From IMDB: "Evil Space Aliens called the Xilians unleashes all the Earth's monsters to lay waste to most of the world's major cities, including Tokyo, New York, Sydney, Shanghai and Paris. It is up to Godzilla and the Earth Defense Force to vanquish the monsters and aliens to rescue the world in the ultimate "Save the Earth" battle."

The acting is the worst I've seen in a while, but it's so funny it keeps you glued to your seat. 9/10
