A Night at the Roxbury (1998)

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

Guillermo del Toro has a knack for finding beauty and elegance in things we might usually immediately consider hideous, and vice versa. His eye for the subject of innocence and human evil is unbelievable, and he is obviously quite passionate for slight detail.

The Simpsons Movie

Funny stuff, even the bad audience couldn't keep me from laughing my way through this one from the beginning until the end almost non-stop.

Matt Groening says it will have about two-movies worth of deleted material. :D

Did anybody notice the crashed ambulance was still at the gorge from the episode with Bart as a daredevil?

Not bad, a little slow in spots but a fun little film despite that. Best movie about a swod fighter who also happens to be a werewolf.

Dick Tracey = Saw it when I was young, didnt remember much, but I loved it. Warren Beatty is one of the best actors/directors ever. Its a shame he hasnt done anything since Town and Country, makes me very sad.

Sleepaway Camp, first time viewing.
Not bad...a little strange, seemed like those kids were only around 15 - is this the slasher to entice young fans?
Anyhows, it was ok, nothing great, nothing bad about it or anything.


One thing I don't get though - why did Angela look so, er...?scared? at the end?

She didn't look scared........she looked SCARY!:D I had nightmares for a long time because of "Sleepaway Camp."It has a unique and very disturbing ending.

Oh yeah, Night at the Roxbury's always been a comedy favorite of mine. My sister really wanted to see it, she's been begging me for ages, so I finally watched it with her; I don't think she liked it, haha.

I absolutely love that movie. Its one of my favorite guilty pleasures.



Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. 09/10

Never have I had so much mindless fun while watching a movie before. Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett et al are a riot on screen, and there is not a single frame where you are left without a huge smile on your face.

Highly recommended. Must watch.

"The Far Country" (1954)
-James Stewart

In 1896, Jeff Webster sees the start of the Klondike gold rush as a golden opportunity to make a fortune in beef.. He drives a cattle herd from Wyoming to Seattle, by ship to Skagway, and (after a delay caused by larcenous town boss Gannon) through the mountains to Dawson. There, he and his partner Ben Tatum get into the gold business themselves. Two lovely women fall for misanthropic Jeff, but he believes in every-man-for-himself, turning his back on growing lawlessness...until it finally strikes home.

Another great performance from James Stewart.
Good acting, good action and drama. A really good movie

I loved that movie, in fact, when Rat Race was released I was reminded so much of Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World that I went out and bought both of them.

The Simpsons Movie

It was great. Any fan of the show will enjoy this movie, I'm sure. It's just like the show, but you can tell there were looser limitations on what they could and could not say. I was thuroughly entertained.

Hannibal Rising

Well, I thought this was pretty entertaining. I still haven't seen Red Dragon yet, but it's my understanding this takes place before that chronologically anyways so I don't think it was neccesary to see Red Dragon first. It was pretty good. There are some scenes that make ya feel a little uneasy, but overall it was pretty cool.

Pretty average giant-crocodile creature flick. The CGI looked good & was hard to detect, but this film coulda have benefited from bloodier kills scenes and perhaps some better actors.

Spaceballs. 06/10

Mel Brooks rips off some of the best sci-fi movies ever made. And its uproariously funnily done. Rick Moranis is a rib-tickler. The "ludicrous speed" reference will tickle really bad. Mel Brooks himself does a really excellent job. The rest of the characters are good too, except the princess who sounds loud and annoying in places.

300


all style NO substance.

should have been called "Chippendales with Shields"

re: 300
I recently saw a dvd of a title from the 70's (or mebbe 60's?) available at my local shopping centre called "The 300 Spartans", with what seemed to be the same general plot...was this one any better?
I personally thought 300 was alright, but if you had to use a comparison, clearly sin city was a shining example of how much better a film can be when the original author works directly onboard. That said, I loved the visual style of 300, but yeah - not one I'm rushing out to get on dvd anytime soon.

I remember seeing that movie in theatre as a kid, silly movie. I mainly remember having a massive headache that day and the movie making it worse :rolleyes:

I saw 300 at the theatre and I actually enjoyed it. I am not one for those types of movies either but it drew you into the characters and stuff I thought, reminded me a bit of Braveheart. I will probably buy it on DVD. I also watched a cool show on the History Channel the other day about the 300 Spartans. They were pretty crazy and smart.
