It was one of the funniest I have ever seen. Tom Cruise and Robert Downy Jr. are great in it.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Gripping, engrossing supernatural horror story that only falters slughtly during the final courtroom scene. Extremely well done, IMO- like a great horror film from the 70s.

12 Monkeys
Gattaca

[Elvis_Christ]

Blastfighter

This was great. Action packed, violent First Blood knockoff directed by Lamberto Bava that everyone should check out next time their in the mood for an action movie.

Van Wilder 2: Rise of Taj
Seemed a pretty generic semi-sequel to me.
It was ok...funny how Kal kept losing his "indian" accent - I think he's a lot more funny than this film was.

American Ninja 3

Liked this more than the 2nd flick. Steve James is a bad muthafucker real keen to check out some more of his films.

[Geddy]

King Kong (1933) - 9/10.

Great classic horror film. Miles ahead of the remake.

[Dream Warrior]

Madhouse, Some part's of the flim i felt were good otherwise i was'nt overaly impressed. Father James being the man behind all the insanity was predictable but cleaverly done. The dog's skull being drilled was (if anything) amussing, i can't beleive people were outraged by this when the movie was first released, if you can't see that being as fake as Jordans tits then theirs something wrong with you.


I did enjoy this movie to a certain degree, something tells me Madhouse did'nt have a point to it really, did'nt have that "kick".

Overall 6/10,

[hellfire1]

Garden Party

[Angra]

"Role models" 7/10

Had a few lines here and there that cracked med up. Nice finally to see Paul Rudd in a lead role for a change. Personally i thought he was the highlight of "Knocked up" and i've wished to see more of him ever since.

Couldn't stand the typical american candyfloss ending tho. I hate candyfloss endings in general, so don't take it personal you people..

[Dante'sInferno]

Dancer in the Dark.

No shit. Watch Dogville... it's messed up, but at least you'll get a wholly satisfying ending.

[Painfulldeath]

Schindler's List : Epic. Spielberg pulled off a great re-creation of the Holocaust. The acting was pure genius all-across the board. Sure all of the killing was sad, but I really found the back story touching as well. P.S: Liam Neeson is the fucking man. 9.75/10.

[Dante'sInferno]

No shit. Watch Dogville... it's messed up, but at least you'll get a wholly satisfying ending.I will.Thanks for the suggestion.

[Dante'sInferno]

Reqiuem for a Dream.I liked it.Felt sorry for the mother.Great film,I think!

[The Mothman]

High Plains Drifter
Joe Kidd
Two Mules for Sister Sarah

I liked all of them, fav to least fav in the order I listed them too.

I think Joe Kidd deserves more recognition than it gets. i never hear anything about it.

A couple questions about some things i didnt understand about High Plains Drifter

*******SPOILERS********
I wasn't really paying extremely close attention at quite a few parts, but I want some things clarified if possible.
What was this talk the hotel manager had with the woman about mines or something? It seemed like a pretty important plot piece, possibly even a plot twist, but i didn't really catch on. did it have to do something with why the 3 guys were terrorizing the town? the woman mentioned peoples lives were lost over it or something.

second question, what was the significance, if any, of making the town of Lago seem like hell, and Clint taking on this whole devil persona thing at the end? Was it just for effect or was there a deeper meaning to it?

last question:
what was the significance of the midget/sheriff making the grave for that sheriff that never had a grave at the end? Why did Clint say the midget already knew what his name was? Is clint supposed to be some ghostly reincarnation of this guy?

please help clarify this stuff for me so i can better appreciate the film, thanks.

2010.


Wonderful flick. I can see why 2001 fans would hate this and tout it as something which pisses all over the original, but Peter Hyams has done a commendable job handling the intricacies of Kubrick's eccentric visions and giving a plausible explanations to the finer points of the predecessor. It is not genuis filmmaking, nor is it a masterpiece, but its right up there with the finest in sci-fi cinema.

If ever there was an unsung and under-appreciated sci-fi flick in the history of Hollywood, this one is arguably pretty close to being a contender to that title. Highly recommended to all sci-fi lovers out there, who will love watching this with an open mind.

Feast- 8.5/10

Feast 2- 4/10 Way to fuck up what should have been an epic sequel. Good job. Really, i'm truly impressed with your ability to be stupid.

[Painfulldeath]

Nekromantik - This one was original to say the least. In my head, I always have an image of how a movie is going to play-out before I see it. I knew what this movie was going to be about, but for some reason, I thought the content would be mild. Instead, it was way worse. Some freaky-decayed corpse-banging goes on in this one (along with other insanely bizarre acts that I won't describe). I was kind of disturbed by the animal cruelty towards a particular bunny. Anyhoo. it was gross but at the same time I sadly couldn't stop watching every minute of it. Do not eat at least an hour before viewing. 5/10.

Taxi Driver - This is the role Deniro was born to play. It really captures a reality that many amongst us face ; the fine line between being an average Joe and going out of control when faced with loneliness. I don't think that it's the best movie ever made like some people have described it. Still, out of all of the films I've watched, it's top 10. 9.5/10.

[Posher778]

Showed Will Funny Games and he loved it. Apparently cops love movies that are plausable crimes. Tonight i'm showing him The Strangers. We'll probably end up watching The Warriors, since that's his fave.

[Elvis_Christ]

Anyone whose fave is The Warriors has good taste!

[fortunato]

La Règle du jeu (The Rules of the Game) (1939)

Incredible. Fluid camera-work dances through an wildly complex tangle of hollowed relationships and cross-relationships. Disguised as a "country house farce", Renoir actually plays with critical themes under the surface regarding the French ruling class.
Virtuosic filmmaking for sure.

[_____V_____]

Wall-E.


Terrific animated entertainer. I really loved the ease and fluidity of the animation Pixar has been doing since Finding Nemo. It allows the characters to show a lot more depth and emotion in their animated histrionics too. Wonderfully warm story, best to be seen on a widescreen TV with sorround sound, and holding your family and kids close to you.

3rd best effort from Disney after The Lion King and Finding Nemo, IMO. I highly recommend it to everyone who will be on the lookout for a holiday season movie this Christmas.

[Phalanx]

Tropic Thunder
It was alright I suppose, but not as funny as I'd havee expected.
The Jack black character was just stupid.
Ben Stiller missing his trademark freakout, and not really throwing too much wit around, while RDJ was actually pretty funny.
Wouldn't advise against watching it, but wouldn't buy it myself.

[Kane_Hodder]

The Orphanage.
Much more effective than The Devil's Backbone, and that says something.

[Painfulldeath]

Ong-Bak - It's all about the ass-kicking Muay Thai and stunts in this one. Tony Jaa is amazing. Can't wait for the sequel to come out. 9/10.

Vacancy 2 - The content is very similar to the original film. Very unnecessary prequel to say the least. Still, it kept me sort of interested until the end and had decent atmosphere. 6/10

Yeah, I definitely agree. I was pretty unimpressed with Cars, and when I saw the trailer for Ratatouille, I didn't think it was going to be any better. I loved it, however, so I was a little more anxious to see WALL·E.

I'll look forward to great work from them in the future, now.

Roger And Me (1989) - 8/10.

My favorite Micheal Moore documentary.

[hellfire1]

Let the Right One In - Wow. I'm still reeling from what I just watched. It's filmed beautifully, the writing is never off, but those kids just make the movie. They are simply perfect in conveying a budding romance of the purest kind. I doubt the actors cast in the remake will be able to capture the easy chemistry between the two. The violence, though brutal, is never gratuitous or out of place. Amazing film.

And now I can truly join in on the remake hating.

way better than expected. nice animation .. and a really funny hampster.

I am really glad to see that. It needs to be seen and appreciated by everybody. One of the best and underrated foreign flicks of this year.



Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Made for 5 yr olds who would gape at the 3D animatronics on screen and clap every 15 minutes. Stick to the 2D version if you are watching at home. 3D has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. And Brendan Fraser has gone down yet another notch in this - at least in The Mummy franchise he was tolerable.

There's a lot to be said about the mood and atmosphere of a film. There can be plot holes and situations that aren't explained/conveyed well enough in a film, but if the mood is set up just right, these things can be overlooked, imo. This film is heavy with melancholy, and it makes it beautiful to watch the story unfold (which is why I fell in love with All the Boys Love Mandy Lane). But yeah... it's a film to be seen, definitely.

Nothing better to remove the bad taste of a shitty flick, than a sizzling fast-paced entertainer. All those who thought Basic Instinct and Sharon Stone made them sweat, oughta check this one out and have a spoonful of Kathleen Turner. Oh boy!

There's only one other person I can think of that could play Ash and that's Jim Carey, and even at that, It wouldn't be the same without Bruce Campbell.

Last movie I watched was Hancock.

Wasn't a bad movie, I quite enjoyed it which is good since I hate super hero movies.

Twilight.

i thought it was .. ok.. at least it avoided most of the vampire cliche's we've seen in the last few years .. (cgi, blue tint, leather)

it was more love story than anything but it wasnt anywhere near as bad as i was expecting.

goth kids - stay home... it wont be your thing .. no brooding in graveyards ... no long stringy black hair ... no fetish outfits.

more like "90210 of the Damned".

In The Heat of the Night.


Amazing flick which literally blew me away. Being a late 60s flick, it is rooted in the realistic racism of those times, but Poitier and Steiger make us feel as if we stand there ourselves, facing the fidgety heat which hits us like waves.

Wonderful atmosphere, and a great mystery whodunnit to boot. Highly recommended to everyone who loves atmospheric flicks - Fortunato, NE, Rod, Alky, Return, Urge, Newb, Hellfire, Chrono, etc. All of you need to see this one.

Warlords Of The 21st Century

I watched this as a kid a bunch of time under the name Battletruck. A totally underated flick that was just as great as I remembered it. A really straight up vision of the post apocalyptic world compared to a lot of the Mad Max knock offs. This ranks right up there in my favorite films released from NZ.

It really sucks Neil Marshall didn't see the sublties of this and 2019: After The Fall Of New York. Doomsday effectively killed a revival of this genre dumbing it down instead of making it though provoking and relevant.

Sukiyaki western Django
Ive found my new favorite Miike film. fabulous, bizzare, tons of fun, stuffed full of homages, yet somehow remains pretty damn original. great visuals, great action, great entertainment, fans of westerns should dig it. Loved how it ended with a Japanese version of the Django theme song.

Live Free or Die Hard
pleasantly surprised. script was a little weak in certain parts, especially a couple of Justin Long's lines, but the action was completely ridiculous and unrealistic, yet exciting as hell, and Willis still kept his signature hardass attitude despite the PG-13 rating. My favorite Die hard film after the original.

Been trying to get in the mindless comedies...

Friday night I watched

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800039/)

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI3NjI4OTA1M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzM4MzQ4MQ@@._ V1._SX100_SY139_.jpg


I don't know... Admittedly, I was kinda trashed, but, well, the movie just didn't really DO it for me. It had some parts that made me smile (all of the fake songs from "We've Got To Do Something" to "Inside Of You" to "Dracula's Lament" and especially the parody of CSI with Stephen Baldwin doing a fantastic David Caruso impression were all HILARIOUS), Paul Rudd was his usual AMAZING self and Mila Kunis is ridiculously smoking hot... But I felt as though, as a whole it was kinda weak. I don't know. The BIG JOKE seemed to be that the main male character (Jason Segel) was just pathetic (naked, crying, blathering...)... I think that some people find it funny. I just find it... meh.

2.5/5



Tonight we watched

Tropic Thunder (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/)

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNDE5NjQzMDkzOF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODI3ODI3MQ@@._ V1._SX99_SY140_.jpg


Another meh. Some funny parts. Some fantastic cameos. And it pretty much seals the deal on me wanting to completely DO Robert Downey Jr (as the blonde Australian).

3/5

Am I MISSING something here? Did other people find these films amazingly funny?? I've heard that these movies were pretty fucking hilarious... But I just felt... meh with some occasional smiles and nods. Bored. Disassociated.

I don't know. It's been a really shitty week and particularly a shitty day... I was kinda expecting these movies to really lift my spirits. Maybe I just had too high hopes. That or maybe I don't feel feelings. meh.

[Phalanx]

You're not alone.

I thought forgetting sarah marshall was easily that crowds worst film...it's like about 4 really funny lines put into an otherwise shitty, boring movie - the lead plays a better bit part, the bit part guy plays a better lead...I can happily not see this film ever again. That I've heard some people talking about buying it on dvd on release day, honestly confuses me.

I'm also with you on Tropic Thunder, although I at least remotely liked this one. RDJ made the film, Ben Stiller felt oddly empty for his first "adult-ish" comedy in some time, and Jack Black was just annoying. The Tom Cruise character was a bit of a laugh, but overall this just wasn't the film I was hoping it would be.

You're not alone.

I thought forgetting sarah marshall was easily that crowds worst film...it's like about 4 really funny lines put into an otherwise shitty, boring movie - the lead plays a better bit part, the bit part guy plays a better lead...I can happily not see this film ever again. That I've heard some people talking about buying it on dvd on release day, honestly confuses me.

I'm also with you on Tropic Thunder, although I at least remotely liked this one. RDJ made the film, Ben Stiller felt oddly empty for his first "adult-ish" comedy in some time, and Jack Black was just annoying. The Tom Cruise character was a bit of a laugh, but overall this just wasn't the film I was hoping it would be.

Ok, so I'm NOT crazy then. It's weird... FSM just got HUGE buzz (not that I generally listen to buzz, but I find that with comedies generally the "buzz" is fairly reliable). Talk about ridiculously overrated.

And I completely agree with you on TT - Downey Jr. was HILARIOUS (though I sometimes had a difficult time understanding him, which just made me feel LAME)... Ben Stiller was completely disappointing (I know that some people downright hate him, but I'm generally a Ben Stiller fan)... And Jack Black was a waste of space (could and SHOULD have been a show stopper).

You know we can't see these IMDB pix...

Well, if I really KNEW that, I wouldn't have posted them that way, would I? :p

That's weird... I can see them (seriously - Why would I be able to see them but you can't? - Bizarre). :( I guess I'll stop being lazy and actually throw these pics into photobucket moving forward as opposed to just copying the source link and plugging it into image tags.

Tom Cruise was hilarious. Everything else pretty much sucked about TT.

Haven't seen FSM.

I wouldn't bother with it, to tell you the truth.

i laughed a lot during tropic thunder..

The opening ads were HYSTERICAL and definitely set a fantastic tone (which, unfortunately the movie didn't live up to). They had me rolling. And I agree - The war movie cliches were really well done, but the outcome is making me want to see Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket for old time's sake... Not watching it again.

Also

*POSSIBLE SPOILER*













The part where the director turns around, steps on a mine and blows up - AMAZING. I ran it back and had to watch it a second time. Wish there were more gags like that.

Maybe I'll go watch The Jerk now. It's been a while.

OH I'm picking out a thermos for you.

I did laugh a bit at this one but overall found it a little uneven.

The Bone Collector.


I really dont get why people hang an axe over Denzel. Not only is the guy pretty amazing in his roles, you can actually feel his presence as that character. Right from the opening frame till the last (when he murmurs "Merry Christmas" back at Angelina), he is Lincoln. Thats what makes the guy a pole apart from many of the rest, and puts him right in the leagues of a Daniel Day Lewis or a Al Pacino.

As for the movie, its a pretty decent whodunnit. Jolie plays her part well but looks a bit out of place, and Rooker is always a treat to watch. The major disappointment for me was the climax, which looked too hurried and just didnt feel right with the tone of the flick. Of course, it could have been worse...but in terms of impact, this one falls down several notches just cuz of it. Too bad, because this is a wonderful first 80 minutes + really disappointing last 25 minutes combo.

Rovdyr [Backwoods] (2008)

http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/reviews/rovdyr.jpg

A Norwegian survival horror that pretty much influenced by TCM (both the original & remake)...specially at the beginning of the movie (the van & the hitchhiker!). Though there was no chainsaw & Leatherface like maniac but there were decent amount of gore & killing scenes. I'm quite surprised with its poor imdb reviews & rating...it wasn't that bad actually.

Evil (To Kako) - I'm really starting to think that the Europeans are going to be a horror powerhouse. This Greek zombie movie really impressed me. There was a good amount of tension and the gore scenes were outstanding. Still, the acting could have been much better. 6.5/10.

Sudden Impact

This one is the strongest of the sequels IMO. I do really like Magnum Force but I like the dark nasty mindedness of this one after the comic book styled flicks before it... its a return to the style of the original A really decent rape/revenge flick.

Surprisingly refreshing and a lot of fun. Steve Carell can really do no wrong in my eyes, from ridiculous yelling to fantastic slapstick.

Lots of nods to the original series ("Missed it by that much!") which I definitely appreciate.

And Bill Murray had a great little cameo playing... Well, classic Bill Murray.

The movie went a little long and I got kinda bored half way through, but all in all it was just plain fun.

I was pretty apprehensive, but it was actually a pretty decent re-imagining.

Just watched Diary of the Dead again for the first time in a while...love the gore effects in this one, but the overall film not all that great. Amish guy is awesome.

Also Harold and Kumar 2 again. Still prefer the first, but this one's cool too, not too much bad to say about it.

Tarsem Singh totally redeems himself for the disaster that was The Cell in this epic fairy-tale that hits the perfect balence between childhood innocence, magic realism and the pain of real life.

It was more a series of nods (involving the cone of silence, for example, Smart's car, and a few key quotes), but they took liberties with the character's personality (especially 99's). Carell really made it his own.

loved those toad monsters though.

The Toolbox Murders.


The remake. The original didnt leave much of an impression, anyway, and it was good to see a fresh take on it. Tobe Hooper does a competent job, and Angela Bettis impresses again (after May). This is one lady who should get more exposure in such kind of flicks - she looks like almost a natural with her ease. After a kickass beginning, the middle 30 mins get a bit slow, but the finale is quite stunning and more than makes up for it.

All in all, a good little fun flick to get the pulse racing in a winter evening.

See Two Days. If you like Paul Rudd, it's essential viewing. Hell, I think everyone should check it out anyway...great, really overlooked little movie.

In The Heat of the Night.


Amazing flick which literally blew me away. Being a late 60s flick, it is rooted in the realistic racism of those times, but Poitier and Steiger make us feel as if we stand there ourselves, facing the fidgety heat which hits us like waves.

Wonderful atmosphere, and a great mystery whodunnit to boot. Highly recommended to everyone who loves atmospheric flicks - Fortunato, NE, Rod, Alky, Return, Urge, Newb, Hellfire, Chrono, etc. All of you need to see this one.

----------


Ok, so I've been absent for a bit - my monitor conked out on me and works been too busy for me to sneak online. Here's what I've watched in the meantime, though I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple:

The Duchess

A very good script and fantastic performances, but the bland direction kind of brings it down a few notches. Still, this is the best work I've seen from Knightley - between this and Atonement, I think she's easily one of the best actresses of her generation. Ralph Fiennes is also at the top of his game...a must-see for fans of either of the stars, but otherwise it's nothing to write home about.

Cube

2nd viewing...love this movie. Put the any of Saw movies to shame (#2 obviously took a cue from this one) - smart, snappy script, brilliant set design, and a great ending. The acting could use some work and some CGI effects are a bit rough, but otherwise it's one of the best sci-fi/horror flicks of the decade.

Nightmare on Elm Street

Been a long while since I watched this...even though a string of lame sequels kind of dilute it in the memory, this really is a classic. Too bad Craven didn't stay this innovative...

Friday the 13th

Still pretty good, but multiple viewing are starting to kill it for me. Doesn't hold up nearly as well as Part 3 - still very good though. As far as slashers go, the atmosphere is fantastic.

Watched it with a buddy of mine who'd never seen an F13 movie...needless to say, the real killer came as quite a surprise to him, considering he went in expecting the hockey mask and machete.

Eraserhead

The definition of a masterpiece. Go read Alky's blurb on it for the Underrrated Top 100 list - sums it up PERFECTLY.

Boogeyman 2

Yes, I watched it...I was in the mood for a really bad horror flick, and when I saw this at the store it seemed to fit the bill, seeing as the first is one of the most god-awful pieces of dreck I've EVER seen. And you know what? I was kind of let down. It wasn't really that bad. I'd never go so far as to recommend it, but it's just as good as any other modern day slasher. The characters are cliched and I saw the ending coming in the first 2 minutes, but it's got some decent kills. It's certainly not a good movie, but it's not even in the same league of awfulness as the first one.

Dr. No

Finally got around to watching me some Bond - other than Thunderball when I was around 7, I'd never seen a Bond movie. Throughly enjoyed this one, I'll be watching more in the near future for sure.

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

I agree with Urge on this one. The storyline was really pretty interesting, and daring, too, for a PG rated movie. On top of that, the visuals were stunning. But that kid- Freddie whats-his-name. He was good in Finding Neverland and all the other stuff he did previously, but now that he's hitting puberty (and trying out an American accent) he just doesn't have the same effect.

Anyway, not a bad way to spend an hour and a half.

Boring lead character vs. cool butcher.

Well... it manage to keep my interest. Didn't care too much for the ending tho.

[Painfulldeath]

Eastern Promises - Solid. I was expecting a faster pace and more of your typical thriller tension. Regardless, it had some good moments; including one of the most awkward and brutal fight scenes ever. Viggo Mortensen's performance was phenomenal. 7/10

Casablanca - Amazing. Now I see why this is considered amongst the best movies of all time. Sometimes, I tend to notice how dated some things are when watching older movies. Not in this one. It really grabs you from beginning till the end and you forget it was made 66 years ago. Humphrey Bogart was one cool motherfucker. 9.9/10

Brazil - Jesus what a mind fuck. Words can't really describe this movie so no use trying. It gets extra marks on its extravagant setting and overall effort. Still, I've never seen a movie where I disliked the main character (and all of the others) so much. I actually wanted them to all die a miserable death (except Deniro of course). Just not my cup of tea. 5.75/10.

Surveillance - This one starts off in typical detective movie fashion. For the first 45 minutes I was thinking jeez... This is gonna suck! The violence picks up after a while and then there's a pretty cool twist that totally redeems the movie. 7/10

A Danish mediocre sci-fi film for the children. The plot was quite lame & common but the effects, making & the acting were kinda funny & watchable. I didn't get the idea why they dubbed it so horribly?! It would be somewhat better if they left it with only subtitles.

Wow dude. You've really gone foreign this time.

The strong moments in "The substitute" was definitely in the class room. Too bad the director hadn't noticed that..

battlestar galactica (season 1 - 4 hour miniseries)


woah ... ok - i have to admit - this show is good.
well crafted, great effects - probably the best i've ever seen for a TV show...
most of the characters are strong (with a couple of definite exceptions)

i'm impressed.. and from what i heard the show gets better as it progresses..

looks like i have me some new treadmill walking material

[Phalanx]

Ha, you do the treadmill tv thing? seems a good enough way to "work out".
Yeah, I like BSG a lot.
The last season/split season was a little bit disappointing by comparison, but the show remains watchable, for sure...lots of twists and turns, and you'll think things you don't quite expect right now.
The space battles are done beautifully, I remember that first explosion, the oppressive silence of it...the sets, the effects, the cast, and the music are all with little peer in this days tv.

Midnight Meat Train – Finally saw this on FearNet the other night and liked it a lot. Not perfect, but it had a lot going for it and actually left me a little scared after it ended – which is rare for me. Check this one out if you can find it.

Quite possibly my favorite show of all time. I think that Season One is brilliant, Season 2 is even better, while Season 2.5 and the beginning of Season 3 is breathtaking and AMAZING. I am ridiculously impressed at how they construct strong AND believable female characters (Starbuck is my hero). Hope you continue to enjoy it.

Agreed. I'd say that the latter half of Season 3 and Season 4 were both ridiculously disappointing - Too much drama and too much divergence from the major plot points (and too many autonomous episodes as opposed to grand over-reaching plot arcs).

That being said, I'm psyched for it to start up again (and ridiculously impatient too).

Meh. Nothing special, but not completely awful. Not worth recommending at all, but if you happen to run across it on TV or something, I guess there are worse ways to kill a couple hours.


From Russia With Love

I said the same thing when I watched Dr. No a few days back: why in God's name have a waited so long to get into Bond movies? This one was beyond awesome...one of the coolest action movies I've seen in a long while.

*************SPOILERS **********************

i didnt think it was appropriate that there would be a neighbourhood full of people watching the film from the outside .. laughing ..etc

i know why they did it .. it just felt ill excecuted... (there wasnt anything to laugh at at that particular time for one thing .. just a guy in the hallway of a train)

I cant really explain it - it just didnt trasnition well to me.

it looked good ... it just didnt feel good. hard to explain.

i really liked danny glover in his role ..

[ferretchucker]

I'm surprised at how many people liked Wall-e

I thought it was brilliant animation but the rest was mediocre at best. Nowhere near as good as most Pixar films, excluding Cars and A Bugs Life. It wasn't funny much and it dragged on for a long time. It was also incredibly predictable and I didn't care for any of the characters. I really wanted to enjoy it. Please, someone tell me what I missed that was so good, because as I said, I really want to enjoy it.

[Phalanx]

I heard cars was pretty shit...bugs life, that was ok though, not my favourite pixar film.
I think the deal with wall-e is how so little translated into so much through use of expression/emotion through a medium that you don't really think would have it...and, it looked pretty cool too.

Just rewatched "disturbing behaviour", for the first time in at least 4 years, caught it right at the beginning on tv and went with it.
I remember myself and the girl actually saw this movie at the cinema shortly after we met, probably round one of our first 5 "dates".
Funniest line? toss up between "slut...", and "what you lookin' at, retard?" ha.
A good watch, I still like it.

I watched it a couple days ago too. I didn't expect it to be great though. I wouldn't give it 'good' or 'bad'. I'd just say it was alright. I thought it was funny how they portrayed Bruce but I think it they could have made it a lot better. I guess its just mildly entertaining for Bruce Campbell fans.

here's my pixar thoughts


i thought cars was shit. uninteresting, uninvolving.

i did enjoy bugs life .. i thought a lot of fun was had with the subject material (the life of insects) good voicework too.

monsters inc .. underappreciated and i cant understand why. i think its the finest kids film ever made.

toy story 1 and 2 ... great films

Finding nemo - gorgeous animation - typical pedestrian story

Wall-E - fantastic. gorgeous animation and a story that exceeded my expectations. the horrible ads led me to believe that this movie would be cutsy-pie garbage - but it wasnt .

[Dante'sInferno]

Rambo.......

[Vodstok]

Tinker Bell

I might be getting soft, but I was pleasently surprised. Not your typical "Disney is trying to make a few bucks off of an old idea". Some thought went into it, some of it was genuinely funny, and on the whole, it was pretty creativee. They even tie it in to Peter Pan.

Dont give me any shit about it, even if I didnt have a 3 year old girl, my wife likes fairies and Tinker Bell specifically, so i would have seen it anyway.

Cars - I had very low expectations but found it charming and actually pretty amusing toward the end. Cliched story, but well done and enjoyable.

Bug's Life - It was Ok. Cute. I agree - Good voicework, but not really memorable as a whole.

Monsters Inc. - Overrated and I can't understand why. I thought that the story was insipid and a waste of a great concept.

Toy Story 1 and 2 - Agreed. Brilliant films. And Toy Story 2 is possibly one of the best sequels in film history. Seriously.

Finding Nemo - I agree whole-heartedly with Urge here: gorgeous animation - typical pedestrian story

The story of the last six weeks in the life of Bobby Sands...the Irish republican hunger striker; the film showcase life inside the maze prison and what the prisoners did to try and win political status.

Slow, boring & there was nothing entertaining but it's quite a powerful film indeed. The tortures to the prisoners were brutal and the shocking thing was the entire hunger strike part shown on a horrifying way.

Monsters Inc. - Overrated and I can't understand why. I thought that the story was insipid and a waste of a great concept.



you so claaaazy !!!


ok .. the glove has been dropped.


here's why i personally think monsters inc is the best kids movie ever made.

(and let me first say that i am NOT a fan of Billy Crystal or John Goodman - to me - neither of them transitioned well to film .. i still see them as second rate TV actors - so by all rights i shouldn't like this film as much as i do)


1) the animation is gorgeous and imaginative. the monster characters are really well done. the 'doors' sequence was incredible

2) a lot of fun animation in jokes to keep the adults amused

3) the disney formula of killing a parent/sibling for easy emotional buy-in was abandoned. (see lion king/nemo/every other fucking Disney film) NOBODY HAD TO DIE !

4) the story was BRILLIANT ... wow Chrono - here we disagree the most. Maybe its because i have a kid but to me this film is the smartest, most effective, and most entertaining way of showing kids there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark i've ever seen in my lifetime. The monsters are more afraid of you than you are of them ?? brilliant !! Add some adventure thanks to a bad apple ... and i think you have a flawless story - and the resolution was fantastic as well ... both the fate of the bad guy and the new form of power. (laughter is more powerful that fear .... )
And it did it without being sucky.

5) I'm a sucker for a bittersweet ending and i hate cheesy manipulative tear jerking disney bullshit - but the way this film ends - gets me in the heart every time ... subtle and touching as hell.


honestly - its one of the few movies i feel so strong about that i cant get my head around anyone not liking that. i'm usually far more impartial than that.


but if you consider this film overrated - then you're only talking about me - because the general public really paid no mind to this film ... proving again that the lowest common denominator is always satisfied with the same hamfisted bullshit formula over and over again.

kill kids parent ... kid grows through adversity and becomes a strong man/woman. yahoo ....

I also loved the setting. When do you figure it took place, late 70s/early 80s? Rubix's cube screamed 80s but the clothes and hair were all 70s. Honestly though, I give this a perfect 10, and I'm pretty picky about vampire movies.

I watched the 1st 6 episodes of Happy Days Season 1.
Then a couple of episodes from Battlestar Gallactica S1


we bought a 32" LCD for the bedroom so i've been checking it out with my son - who is recovering from pneumonia.... both of us watching TV stretched out on the bed like a couple of slackers.


oh - i watched most of Zombie Strippers too.

i thought it was awful. not even remotely funny. by the time something that i thought could have been funny came along (the pingpong balls) i was numb and could care less. i think the writers were thinking that they wrote a very clever screenplay - but they didnt - it was obvious and dull. i dont care if it was meant to be - it wasnt excecuted well at all.

i was even bored by the nudity ... which was pretty shy for a movie about strippers.

Robert Englund was his usual over acting self - non of the retraint he showed in Monster Slayer.


i probably have about 15 minutes to go .. but i dont know if i'll ever be bothered to finish it. I'm more interested in the commentary - i want to hear them try to explain this mess.

Shadows (1959)

While not my favorite Cassavetes venture, it's certainly worth the watch, and then some.
A jazz-like narrative that flows through music, family, love, sex, racial issues, dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and music, all through the filter of the late-50s New York beat scene.

Art School Confidential

Wonderful little indie film that manages to be murder mystery, satire of the art world, young romance- all at the same time, and all effectively. One of the best mixes of comedy and drama I've seen with spot on performances from John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Steve Buscemi (in a role that's strangely incredited, as it's a fairly major role) and many others.

Really fun film.
