Checking Fearnet last night and noticed "Maximum Overdrive" was on........haven't watched this one since it was first released. It was so bad I couldn't take my eyes off it.

I checked out Hideaway on Fearnet. Boy was it awful. It's so rare for Fearnet to get anything good. They do have The Blob right now though. I watched it a few days ago and it was still great fun. Steve McQueen was refered to in the movie as being 17- he was 28 when it was made- and he looks 40.

Last night was Monday night....you forget my rule

No Drinking During The Week




unless its a special occasion


like somebody's birthday...or anniversary....or the temperature goes over 90 degrees [ in that case I can partake in one beer for every degree it goes over 90]


other than that....No Drinking During The Week


sometimes on a full moon I'll make an exception


or a half moon

Almost Famous

I dug it, very much so.

[Elvis_Christ]

Maximum Overdrive isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I like it a lot... and how fuckin' dope is the soundtrack!

Last watched:

Marked For Death

This was really good. One of the last decent Seagal flicks before he went downhill after Under Siege
Pity the R4 DVD is cut, fuckers I thought people were over trimming films these days. Its not a Seagal flick unless he's breaking peoples bones.

[The_Return]

The Incredible Hulk

Finally managed to get out and see this, and I wasn't let down in the slightest. I really couldn't find much wrong with it aside from Liv Tyler...I usually dont mind her, but she was horrendous in this. Otherwise, it was pretty much a perfect comic-book flick.

Marvel seems to know what they're doing with there flicks so far...here's hoping the rest of the Avengers movies turn out as awesome as this + Iron Man!

Curious, who do you think should play Cap?

[The_Return]

Curious, who do you think should play Cap?

Thats been bugging me like crazy, to be honest...I really don't have any idea.

I do have complete faith in Marvel though - they'll get the right guy for the job. Word on the street is that they want Leonardo DiCaprio, and even though I personally think that he's a really bizarre choice, I know that they know what they're doing. I just cant see him playing that kind of character, plus he's pretty short.

Otherwise, I have no clue. There are a bunch of people that look the part, but most are too old. My favourite pick - I really, really wish he was about 10 years younger - might be Mark Valley:

http://www.tvsa.co.za/images/actors/v/mark_valley_big.jpg

I only know him from Boston Legal, but I think he could pull it off...but I think Marvel wants to stick with A-list names, so he's probably out of the running.

Who's your choice? If you say John Cena, I think I'll kick your ass.

[alkytrio666]

Iron Man (2008)

Second time. It's a good'un.

"Yeah. I can fly."

[massacre man]

Who's your choice? If you say John Cena, I think I'll kick your ass.

I was thinking Aaron Eckhart. I'd always thought he would be good for the part. If he can bulk up a bit, that is.

[_____V_____]

McConaughey could ve pulled it off, but they are not pursuing him.

[The_Return]

I was thinking Aaron Eckhart. I'd always thought he would be good for the part. If he can bulk up a bit, that is.

Too old, if you ask me. Looks the part and could play it for sure, but youth is a BIG part of Cap, and I dont think he could pull that off.

I think thats going to be the main problem - finding somebody young enough who still has the talent + star power to both play the part and share the screen with heavyweights like Norton + Downey Jr.

And for the record...I'm really glad that they aren't going for McConaughey. No offense V, but I think he would have been AWFUL.

[_____V_____]

Well I dont see anyone else good enough to play him.

Face and charisma, yes maybe contenders in that dept. Physique and personality, nope no show.

Although, a certain Christian Bale comes to mind...but he is Bruce Wayne already. ;)

But I hope Brad Pitt ends up being Thor. Because when Avengers rolls around it'll be Pitt and Norton in a film together again. But I'm not extremely familiar with Thor so I'm not positive how it would work out.

Blonde - check,

Handsome - check,

Tall - Nope,

Heavy-built - Nope,

Viking God - Hmm...

PS: For Cap I'd choose Josh Hartnett, it's a shame nobody could get John Cena to act because he looks the part. Oh, and maybe Neal McDonough...

They can hold the camera at a low angle. 6 out of 7 ain't bad. He is a viking God, did you ever see his THS?

WALL·E (2008)

the surprisingly complex multi-plot that made ratatouille so much fun has been replaced here by a simple love story within a science-fiction cautionary tale.

i really, really enjoyed this one.
very much recommended.

[Posher778]

Goldeneye- 6.5/10

Great action.... But Brosnan is not Bond. Thanks a lot Craig for redefining everything and winning me over! Also, the girl Bond worked with in this one was unnattractive and bland.

The Gateway Meat


I don't think I'll review this one yet, I think to be fair I have to give it another watch. I can say that it reminded me a lot of a film along the lines of murder set pieces only... better I think.

Perfect tagline: Is she a woman or animal?:D Anyway, this is my first Russ Meyer film and this satiric sexploitation film is about a hupersexual married woman named Vixen Palmer played by stunning Erica Gavin . It has wicked dialog, hot sex, infidelity, incest, racism, lesbianism, anti-communism message, plane kidnapping....and... what else left!?!

Humm...now Tarantino is going to remaking Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!....fine!:cool: I'm looking forward to see this one.

[newb]

I checked out Hideaway on Fearnet. Boy was it awful. It's so rare for Fearnet to get anything good. They do have The Blob right now though. I watched it a few days ago and it was still great fun. Steve McQueen was refered to in the movie as being 17- he was 28 when it was made- and he looks 40.

Started watching The Blob last night.....it got late so I didn't finish. Really cheesy with some really bad acting especially from Mr McQueen. And all the "teens" looked like they were in their 30's. But it was fun to re-visit it and I'll most likely finish it tonight.

[urgeok2]

And all the "teens" looked like they were in their 30's. .

it wasn't until that long ago (around the time Fame came out) that kids were played by kids (or at least by people who looked like kids.

all of the 'kids' in those 50's teen movies were played by old people - its pretty funny really.

It is hysterical...especially the scene where you have this 30 something looking guy pretending to be sleeping so he can sneak out of the house.

I'm also betting that neverending has the theme to this one.....thats the first thing I thought of when it started.

Three different versions. Can you believe it was written by Burt Bacharach?

"Wanted"

Brutal, violent and way, way over the top. It was also very funny in a dark kind of way, and it had Angelina Jolie killing people. I enjoyed it.

That was startlingly good, with a great ending!

Storm Warning- 5/10 Good soundtrack... but nothing that hasn't been done hundreds of times. It's not bad really, its just the same thing we've already seen.

You Only Live Twice- 7.5/10 Climax was really impressive for its time. Sean Connery still pisses me off as Bond though.

Sean Connery still pisses me off as Bond though.

Why ?

He just isn't Bond. He doesn't act like the book Bond's that much imo, and he's never been that convincing to me anyway.

[_____V_____]

rofl...True.

[neverending]

Fleming's first choice to play Bond was David Niven, so clearly, in his mind, it was the sophistication and coolness that mattered most to him. Producers wanted someone younger, and more rugged- so we got Sean Connery. And he inhabited the character like no other actor, IMO.

Now that is ONE movie which brings back memories...

[urgeok2]

i saw used cars when it came out in the theatres and didnt like it - i was too young to get it.
got the DVD years later and really enjoyed it.

[Dennoow]

Children of the Corn III. I found it quite entertaining although it's been butchered by the reviewers!

[Elvis_Christ]

Saw Used Cars as a kid totally forgot about it till then. Love to check out some of those old comedies again but not a lot of them have made it over here again. Still haven't seen Doctor Detroit anywhere :D
I was on school holidays when I was 8 or so and they played a bunch of flicks like that and they've got sentimental value to me.

Children of the Corn III. I found it quite entertaining although it's been butchered by the reviewers!

Always liked that one myself. My favorite of the series. It stands a lot more timeless than the other entries of the series. The sequels were a lot better than the original (easily one of the worst SK adaptions for me).

Haven't seen part 666 yet tho.

[missmacabre]

I finally watched [rec] last night. Watching movies when I have a fever is never a god idea cause I have more vivid nightmares so, needless to say, I didn't sleep much last night. Great movie though.

From IMDB:

Two young Gatlin residents are orphaned after the younger brother kills their father. So, the terror of Gatlin goes urban when the two boys are placed in the custody of two foster parents. The younger brother (who by this point is established as the "evil one") bought some corn seeds along for the road and plants them in the courtyard of an abandoned warehouse, bring He Who Walks Behind the Rows to the city. He winds up possessing his high school peers, and soon his older brother feels called to stop him

Cheezy Horror Trailers: Vol. 1

[joshaube]

The Tracey Fragments. The new Ellen Page indieflick. Watch the trailer (which is excellent BTW), the entire film is presented in that format. Ellen Page gives a performance which shows why she was nominated for JUNO (I thought, while the performance in that film was good... she did a much better job in Hard Candy, and in this film. She deserves an award, it's just hard to say for which role.) It's very much what the title states. Fragments from her life. Snippets, here and there. Of a story. Of her little brother running away, how it happened, and what she goes through and how she escapes it (physically and mentally.) I thought it was very depressing. I really liked it.

The Ruins. It was a very well-directed flick. I'm a big Carter Smith fan. Go watch Bugcrush.

Rapid Fire. Decent. Brandon Lee... why'd you have to go? I'd much rather you have a lengthier filmography, and of course, still be alive.

Eddie And the Cruisers II. It dumps the atmosphere and format of the first, and goes for a less mysterious, and more linear story. The first had a basic plotline, and carried a very heavy atmosphere and sense of mystery. It used musical scenes and flashbacks to fill out it's runtime. It was well crafted. The sequel wasn't bad, but I much prefer the first.

Superhero Movie. I've seen Spiderman, do I really need to sit through a spoof who's every scene is based on one I've seen before? It gets repetitive. I did LOL once, which is odd. The casket scenes always get me. In this, and Scary Movie 4 (or was it 3?) If you have nothing, and I mean nothing, better to do or watch... you MIGHT want to check this out. It's not the worst of the ____ Movie / Meet the Spartans line-up.

Wanted 2/10

Personally, I hated this movie. They totally fucked over the comic. The comic was one of the best that I have ever read, and this movie totally disreguarded anything that had to do with it. I was hoping the parts that were in the movie that came from the comic were going to make up for the rest of the movie. I was wrong. The only reason I gave it a 2 was for the final line. Thats the only redeamable thing from the movie. Other than that.... Yeah you might like it if you didn't read the comic, but if you did, stay away, far far away.

There will Be Blood is a masterpiece...by all accounts, it should have kicked No Country's ass at the Oscars last year.

I'm Not There is pretty damn cool as well, but I found I was left wishing Ledger + Bale's versions both had more screentime. Still, its a great concept that's executed really well - you should like it.

[alkytrio666]

There will Be Blood is a masterpiece...by all accounts, it should have kicked No Country's ass at the Oscars last year..

I still disagree with you there. There Will Be Blood had Oscar written all over it. Long. Great performances. Epic feeling. But No Country For Old Men had something to say- it was culturally significant. It was daring and provocative. Its Best Picture victory proved that the Academy doesn't necessarily always pick the picture that was born to be beautiful.

Ah, this discussion again, I see? :p

I'll agree that No Country is a great movie, and I'll admit that it's nice to see the Academy giving recognition to something that's beyond their usual sensibilities. However, I think it goes down to one fundamental fact: TWBB is just an all-around better movie. Better acted, better written, better directed...just overall better.

Yes, No Country might technically be a little bit "deeper", but if you dont think There Will Be Blood was culturally significant, you really need to watch it again. It might not have had as much to say about the human condition in general, but it touched on some meaty issues all the same, I daresay was more topical and current, despite being a period piece.

TWBB has a full cast of brilliant actors. Day-Lewis is an obvious pick and fully deserved his Oscar (of course), but even the supporting cast was incredible. Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor...Dillon Freasier has to be one of the greatest child actors that I've ever seen. You have to admit that despite some powerhouse performances, No Country certainly had some weak links - Kelly Macdonald stands out in that respect, barring her final scene. And whoever played her mother was just laughably over the top.

I'd never, ever, ever go so far as to sday that No Country for Old Men is anything less than an amazing movie, or that it didnt deserve the awards that it won. I just think that There Will Be Blood deserved them more, thats all:p ;)

so yeah - it would have been worth seeing in 3D but as a regular movie it was crap. and i was pissed.

Hellboy 2 was too earth shaking!

Any good?


I thought so.

Good performances. A few laughs. Not plenty, but good action. Sure there's flaws, such as the finale's laughable ''villain'', but overall it's a fun movie. If you go in with the lone expectation of being entertained, you should enjoy yourself.

Miracle Mile – A movie about nuclear war paranoia in 1980s LA, starring Anthony Edwards. Stupid; I turned it off after about 40 minutes.

The last movie I saw through to the end was: Ace in the Hole – A great Kirk Douglas movie about a crooked newspaper man trying to claw his way back to the big time on the back of a trapped miner. Good stuff.

Wall E- Funny, enjoyable...would have been loads better if I could have strangled the bitch that had to add commentary for her child's sake behind me, but what the hey.

Unleashed- loved it.

Southland Tales- I love The Rock and think he is a diamond in the rough as an actor, if only he could be cast right.
This movie was meant to be meandering and abstract, I get that- but they REALLY needed to remember not to lose it's audience along the way.
Could have been an excellent movie....but just wasn't.

Man with the Screaming Brain

You know...I was a little bit let down. It was a fun movie, but I was expecting more from Bruce. He was in top form, as always, but the script was pretty lackluster. It had it's moments, but I really wouldn't recommend it unless you're a die-hard Bruce Campbell fan.

[James Whale]

Pretty boring excursion into LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS,DELIVERANCE, DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS and even Hichcock's LIFEBOAT territory. Boring dialogue mixed with gross gore; however, I did get all itchy and paranoid about things burrowing in my skin. I give it a D+.

[Posher778]

Man with the Screaming Brain


I was disappointed with this one. Had a couple of cool moments but is pretty average. Loved the bit in the restaurant!

Last Watched:

Fortress 2

The original is one of my favorite prison flicks but the sequel doesn't live up to the original. Blandly scripted and no over the top fun moments like its predecessor.

[illdojo]

The Ruins - 6/10
Not bad for bubble gum horror. The plant CGI was cool. I also like Jenna Malone. She's a pretty good actress.

[The_Return]

Sunset Blvd.

This is only the 3rd Wilder film that I've seen (after Ace in the Hole and Sabrina), but I'd really have to consider him one of my favourite writers/directors. There are very, very few people out there with an ear for dialogue like this man.

I loved the other two movies, but this is just the definition of a masterpiece...pretty much perfect in every way. If you consider yourself a fan of film and you haven't seen this, you really owe it to yourself. Brilliant, brilliant movie.

[James Whale]

SHADOW OF A DOUBT Is a quietly creepy venture into American menace; Hitchcock's juxtaposition of humor and the macabre is sublime.
NORTH BY NORTHWEST has plenty of plot twists mixed with tongue-in-cheek humor; this film, of course, has the iconic images of a plane chasing Grant through farm fields and Grant and Saint dangling from the faces on Mount Rushmore. The sexual innuendo is very strong. It even has a train going through a tunnel right before Grant and Saint make love ; you can't get more suggestive than that! All film students should study every frame of this.

Wilder was a genius and capable of hopping from dark satire to screwball comedy to taught thriller with grace and ease. Check out Double Indemnity, it's one of the best nior thrillers ever filmed

Four Rooms

Well, I've got no idea what the hell I just watched...but I can say that it was easily the funniest movie that I've seen in ages. Roth is brilliant!

If you like off-the-wall, vaguely surreal comedy, you have to the check this out. Parts of it are super dark, there's slapstick humor, nice tits...its got something for everyone ;)

Now I'm pretty sure I've seen all of Tarantino's movies, minus My Best Friend's Birthday (but does that even really count?)


Masters of Horror: Sounds Like

It amazes how for the second season of this show, they managed to get a bunch of really talented directors together...then make them all seem exactly the same. I'm starting to think Mick Garris does all of these, then slaps other people's names on 'em.

I did enjoy this to an extent, I was just expecting more from someone like Brad Anderson - Session 9 + The Machinist are among my favourite films, so I had high expectations. The lead actor was really good, but otherwise this really wasnt anything special.


Bringing Out The Dead

Probably one of Scorsese's most underrated movies, and definately one of Nick Cage's best performances. It was pretty slow, but I really enjoyed it.

The Tracey Fragments- AWFUL

Hogfather- WONDERFUL!
Terry Pratchett aided the script with this almost 4 hour rendition of one of his Discworld novels and they did such a GREAT job. Totally nailed Death's dry non-humour humour (you'll understand what I mean if you've read anything starring Death)
Highly Recommend!

[ChronoGrl]

Dairy of the Dead- AWFUL

Good GOD I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I believe that Romero made one good movie (Night) and one ok movie that would have been better with serious editing (Dawn). I am really tired of the horror community extolling him as some sort of God. He needs a serious editor and Diary of the Dead is a perfect example of that; would have been significantly better even if he just did away with the voiceover alone.

Okay, the evening starts off, about 10-15 friends and I are in the theater, a man in a Spider-Man costume walks in, a bunch of people started to yell, scream, and you could hear an occasional "Fuck you!" Then a man in a Batman costume ran out and tackled Spidey to the ground. Most of the crowd cheered. After that, the trailers for Watchmen, Quantum of Solace, Burn After Reading, and Terminator: Salvation played. Then I witnessed it... the greatest things I've ever laid my eyes upon.

Unfortunately I'll be seeing it with the boyfriend's family. I will have to ask him again to pull Dad and Brother aside again and explain to them again that talking through a movie while at the theater is actually considered quite rude in most circles. *sigh* :mad:

It was embarrassing. We went to see Hellboy II with his brother; we sat behind this family of 4 little kids (by "little," they probably ranged 8 - 11) and my first thought was, "Great. These brats are going to talk through the whole thing." Oh, no. They were well-behaved beauties... While my boyfriend's 40-year-old-brother talked through the whole damn fucking thing. ARGH. :mad:

i was worried that the attention over his death would artificially hype up Ledgers performance more than warranted ... but that wasn't the case at all.

He excelled - probably one of the best screen villians of all time. Any future screen Joker died with Heath - at least for the next several years.

The first half of Das Komabrutale Duell.
I couldnt help myself, i had to write something.

A completly incoherent jumbled mess of zero budget nonsense. Apparently its a gang war between two gangs, and one of the gangs is immortal, but i only learned theat from reading the back of the case, otherwise i would have never figured it out...
but my god is it rediculously violent. The gore is ok considering the budget, and there'smore than enough of it. there's a scene in here where this gang member gets his his brains completly blown out. the back of his head is detached from his face. One of the other gang member comes up with a 'brilliant' idea. "tear my head off with your bare hands, and give him half my brain."
the dude rips his head off, then chainsaws it into two pieces, and glues half of the brain into the dude's head who got his brains blown out earlier with a hot glue gun. lmao. The dude who's head was just torn off is walking around headless all this time. The two pieces of his head are then glued back together and glued back on his body.by this point the entire room is practically soaked in blood and guts, but now they're both fine. this movie is jam packed with scenes like this. completely retarded, and totally entertaining.

Despite being completle nonsense, its a fun watch, make sure you're hammered first, and dont try to make sense out of it, it will make your head hurt.

I am totally, utterly blown away! Whoa...one of THE most fantastic flicks I ll ever have the honor of watching! Before starting on anything, I MUST give due credit to Aaron Eckhart for holding his own in what would have been otherwise a totally snubbed and watered-down role. Very good work, Aaron.

Now, for Heath Ledger. The whole Hollywood fraternity has lost an awesome talent - because his Joker is out of this world! It was exactly how Bob Kane would have visualised his modern Joker to be...gritty, grotesque and psychotic to the level of paranoia.

And for those of you who thought Jack's Joker could never be surpassed, I can safely say this - you were wrong. Jack got OWNED by Heath. Utterly. Totally. (Oscar indeed!)

Christian Bale is his usual self, carrying both Bruce and Bats with equal ease. He looked a bit uncomfortable as Bruce in sparse moments (not gonna spoil it), but he was on par as the best Batman on-screen yet. Gary Oldman did a competent job as usual, and I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was totally un-necessary and un-needed.

Chris Nolan, take a bow. You might have made THE most faithful and flawless superhero flick in the history of Hollywood cinema yet. There is no way ANYONE can surpass this one, in terms of sheer quality and entertainment. It was such an overwhelming experience for me that I was applauding when the end credits rolled...without realising that 2 and half hours had passed!

dude got his wang shot off. shoots blood like a waterhose from his crotch for about 60 seconds

random zombies come out of nowhere and start stabbing people. zombie lady gets boob blown off.


One armed dude rips zombies arm off, then rips it's chest out.

guy uses some sort of water pump to steal blood from his friend and pump it into his arm.

pregnant lady gets belly stabbed and twins ripped out, then stomped on. omfg!

anyone who says Premutos is the goriest movie next to dead alive is wrong. this one takes the cake!

[massacre man]

And for those of you who thought Jack's Joker could never be surpassed, I can safely say this - you were wrong. Jack got OWNED by Heath. Utterly. Totally. (Oscar indeed!)

Mark Hamill actually did that... but Heath's is by far the best.

[newb]

I've got a riddle for you! Whose going to make the feathers fly and knock Batman and Robin out of the sky?

Well....to be honest with you....I thought Underdog was gonna be the best super-hero movie ever made....I mean....it was filmed in my state and everything.

Underdog's not a superhero. All dogs can do that. They're just lazy.

As a voice. Ha.

Ledger is going down in movie history, guys. I am sure even Jack would have bowed before that performance.

amidst all this dark knight chaos, i'm going to submit a different review:

teeth (2007)

have to admit i was pretty disappointed with this one.
there were moments of true cleverness and originality that were mostly watered down by an otherwise unremarkable film.
the best part about it was jess weixler as the main character, dawn. she did a great job with the character.

i'd say it's worth a watch, but that's about it.

[roshiq]

The Dark Knight.


I am totally, utterly blown away! Whoa...one of THE most fantastic flicks I ll ever have the honor of watching! Before starting on anything, I MUST give due credit to Aaron Eckhart for holding his own in what would have been otherwise a totally snubbed and watered-down role. Very good work, Aaron.

Now, for Heath Ledger. The whole Hollywood fraternity has lost an awesome talent - because his Joker is out of this world! It was exactly how Bob Kane would have visualised his modern Joker to be...gritty, grotesque and psychotic to the level of paranoia.

And for those of you who thought Jack's Joker could never be surpassed, I can safely say this - you were wrong. Jack got OWNED by Heath. Utterly. Totally. (Oscar indeed!)

Christian Bale is his usual self, carrying both Bruce and Bats with equal ease. He looked a bit uncomfortable as Bruce in sparse moments (not gonna spoil it), but he was on par as the best Batman on-screen yet. Gary Oldman did a competent job as usual, and I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was totally un-necessary and un-needed.

Chris Nolan, take a bow. You might have made THE most faithful and flawless superhero flick in the history of Hollywood cinema yet. There is no way ANYONE can surpass this one, in terms of sheer quality and entertainment. It was such an overwhelming experience for me that I was applauding when the end credits rolled...without realising that 2 and half hours had passed!



Rating - * * * * *

WOW! Now I'm thinking to have a trip to anywhere outside the country where I can see TDK at a theater.:o (you may know that Our damn local theaters doesn't permit to show any new foreign films!:mad:)

Last seen movies:

Batman vs Dracula (2005)

Mamma Mia! - I normally don't like musicals, but this was a good movie. Some of the vocals were a little rough, but I have to give the actors props for doing their own singing. The plot was predicatable, but overall I had a good time.

[Dennoow]

I watched "resurrection" yesterday. Somekind of a Se7en rip off movie but still pretty decent! I also saw "the mist" this week. I thought it was pretty good as well! Tonight I'll watch Wrong Turn, supposed to be good! :)

[Dante'sInferno]

A Clockwork Orange.It was great.

[ChronoGrl]

Now there's a question. Should I have seen Batman Begins, before seeing the Dark Knight Tuesday?

Nah.

There's a reference to it at the beginning, but you don't really need to have it under your belt.

Batman Begins gives you a little bit of context to the whole Rachel Dawes/Bruce Wayne drama... But it's your usual insipid comic book love story; you'll pick up what happened pretty quickly. You're a smartie. ;)


Honestly, I hated Batman Begins but I loved the Dark Knight.

[Dennoow]

Wrong turn 4/10 and just watched Barricade. 7/10, just for the Gore!

[urgeok2]

And now -

I proudly bring to HDC the one review no one would ever have expected to see here :


Mama Mia

Let me first say - without shame - that i love musicals ... actually - i love OLD musicals. I haven't cared for anything in the last 30 years or so .. but that changed tonight.

I saw Mama Mia live on stage and loved it. It was one of my most entertaining evenings of all time where live entertainment is concerned.

I was pretty pumped to see the movie version (i saw The Dark Knight first - so dont worry - my priorities are in order) despite some reservations with the casting - specifically Meryl Streep.

She was actually the weakest link ... i think they should have found an unknown for the role ... but she didnt kill the film .. she did OK.

For obvious reasons the film didnt have the spark of the live performance - but it was almost balanced by the great locations and other freedoms that the medium could provide.

I know there wont be anyone else here that will see this film, or appreciate it if they did .. and thats kind of too bad - because this is the first musical in years to have the fun and atmoshere of the older musicals i enjoyed back in the day.

and yeah - i was one of the .. oh... about 5 or so guys in the entire audience ...

[neverending]

Well, I happen to be a fan of musicals as well. I'll catch it someday.

[The_Return]

I love musicals, but I'm not particularly fond of ABBA...if I ever get the opportunity to see it on stage I'd check it out for sure, but I wont be rushing out to see the movie.

[neverending]

I've heard the Original Cast Album and the songs translate to theatre very well.

[cactus]

I know there wont be anyone else here that will see this film,

I will be seeing it...the wife loves musicals and ABBA...

Decided to make it a Chris Nolan weekend...

Batman Begins- 9.5/10

you shouldn't rate "weak' movies 9.5/10

[The Mothman]

There will Be Blood is a masterpiece...by all accounts, it should have kicked No Country's ass at the Oscars last year.


highy, highly disagree.
fantastic acting, phenomonal script, but boring as fuck. The entire movie i was waiting for something to happen, something that would develope a plot of some sort. nothing. boring, boring, boring. I went into it expecting some sort of "blood fued" due to the misleading title and trailer. that was a mistake.

NCFOM had all of the above and it was thrilling as hell.

[Despare]

Batman Begins


Doesn't disappoint at all even after watching the Dark Knight. Made me wish DK had more sweeping shots of Gotham though. Anyway, I liked how Crane said, "You look like a man who takes himself too seriously.". Great lead up to Dark Knight and such a perfect origin story. My only complaint would be the methodical pace but that's to be expected in such an epic origin tale. Great movie with a fantastic sequel and I hope the Nolan brothers continue with their masterworks.

[Posher778]

boring?
really?

to each, his own.
but you have to admit the title delivered exactly what it said it would.

i cant really see how anyone could think differently. it was so incredibly slow moving. At times i thought it would pick up, there would be intense music, and the camera would pan over some mountains...and that was it. Anti-climactic. The scenes of conflict between Daniel Day and Paul Dano were awesome, could have used some more of that. everything in between felt like random, uneventful scenes strung together. The ending was worth sitting through the entire 3 hours however.
"I drink your milkshake!"
Still think the title is misleading. no blood in the literal sense, I suppose its in a metaphorical sense, but i still didnt see it.

[Dante'sInferno]

You're watching a lot of great movies lately!Thanks alot!Have any suggestions?I've seen the original Frankenstein.I loved it.But I do want to see Nosferatu,but I can't find it anywhere.But i'll be happy to find some suggestions.:D

Hard to say without knowing what you've already seen. You seem to have an appreciation for the great directors and great drama. If you haven't seen Goodfellas, check that out. For a war drama, try The Onion Fields.

For classic horror, I recommend Corman's Poe adaptations- House of Usher, Tomb of Liegea. Vincent Price in The Witchfinder General.

Bizarre sci-fi/horror from the 60s- X- The Man With X-Ray Eyes.

To steal a recommendation from Alky- Peeping Tom.

Checked out Kurosawa? Start at the top with Ran, or try a lesser known Dodes Kaden.

Quirky comedy- Harold & Maude, one of my all time favorite films.

Altman's Nashville

Just some things off the top of my head.
