Well it seemed as though they were more intent on playing a heap of shit music through out it rather than trying to make a good film.....

Maybe if I hadn't seen ten movies already that covered the same ground it wouldn't have been so bad, but the format that the movie followed, for example the seasons the animated writing, it was all to familiar and unoriganal.

I knew I'd get some bites on this one. :rolleyes:

Steel Magnolias 8/10

when i was young and i watched it with my mom i always wondered why she cried so much. now i'm sitting here crying like a freaking baby. it's a really good movie despite the fact that it's really hard to see it at the moment.

Braveheart, with commentary by Mel Gibson.


Film - 10/10

Commentary - 7/10

Cloverfield

fucking sweet:D

8/10

Don't worry.

I will probably be there to back you up soon, dude.

And yes, music can ruin a lot of a movie. One of the main reasons i didn't like "o brother where art thou" and "ghostworld". Can't stand bluegrass.

Juno- 9.5/10

About to pop in Dolls...
bought it for 5$ and had never heard of it before.
It's from Stuart Gordon, which sounds promising.

The Bourne Supremacy

V For Vendetta

Serenity
..

There Will Be Blood.

So many people recommended me to watch it, and boy...am I glad I listened!

Daniel Day Lewis is perfectly cast in his role, and he brings so many emotions together in his character throughout the movie, which shows his amazing and phenomenal talent (seriously, if you have any doubt...watch this or My Left Foot or even Gangs of New York). I dare say only Marlon Brando in The Godfather is just an edge better than Daniel in There Will Be Blood.

**MINOR SPOILER**

Just watch the emotions fly across Daniel's face when he screams "I told you I would eat you!"

****

This is a SUPERB little effort by Paul T Anderson. His Boogie Nights and Magnolia were gems in their own right, and with There Will Be Blood, he has achieved a new high. This man's good...really REALLY good. If it doesnt win an Academy Award, there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with the Academy Awards panel. Too bad it didnt get a wider release.

Anyone who is a lover of serious, gritty and realistic cinema should see this. I am buying the DVD when it comes out. Recommended to Rod, Alky, Newb, Jenna, Despare, Zwoti and anyone else who fits the bill said above.


Rating - 09/10 (Yes I mean it!)

Probably be seeing this one this week sometime.

Just watched Invasion.

It was ok but did we really need ANOTHER remake of "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers".


i think not

last night I saw Last House on the Left and today I watched Juno twice. attempted to watch Pi but my computer wasnt having that.

PT Anderson is one of my all-time favorite directors. I definitely want to see this one, though the boyfriend isn't sold on it yet.

Anyone need a date?

...

Just saw Cloverfield today.

And.

Wow.

Well.

Yeah.

I'm not sure if I can give an accurate review on it as I was pretty much ENRAGED ALL DAY, but it was pretty damn good. My only issue was that I guess with the gritty nature of the handheld cam, I wanted a little more than just PG-13... I think I wanted something that could have gotten it an R-rating. Oh, and there was definitely some cheese factor to it. And the end dragged on a bit too long, but yet, the movie as a whole, very short.

BUT

I recommend. I give it... B+. I just wanted... More... Umph.

Makes me want to see 28 Weeks later and Mulberry Street over again.

...

Last night... I watched Sunshine.

Certainly not a perfect movie in any way, shape, or form, but it envoked quite a long discussion between the boyfriend and I which was interesting and inciteful... And even though Sunshine was not perfect, I have to give credit to something that will provide me a soapbox upon which to RANT afterwards.

Highlights of the film: Boyle is a goddamn good director.

Pitfalls: Completely and utterly emulates any space movie that has come out and gotten exposure, EVER: 2001, 2010, Alien, Event Horizon, and even Armageddon. I felt as though Boyle was more concerned with mimesis than creating anything new... Which was confusing since he seems to have budget and some legitimate talent.

I'd have a difficult time rating this movie as a lot of it is so incredibly atmospherically beautiful... But some of the dialogue is so incredibly abhorrent... I don't know... Worth seeing... But don't expect to like it.

Boogeyman 2 (2007) - 7/10

Cabin Fever. I know Eli Roth has potential to be great. It just pains me to see him go from this, to Hostel...

Atonement

>>: A+


Storm Warning

...wtf!?!

>>: F

This one's been on my list for a while along with Orphanage... I hope I get time to see them.

National Treasure was the last one for me, I've always had fun with it, kind of an updated Indiana Jones.

"Juno" 7-8/10

Sorry Dis, you're on your own.


If there's any justice in the world Ellen Page will be standing with an Oscar trophy in about a month. She was irresistibly wonderful.

the orphanage was definitely worth seeing. a solid horror film.

serious, do they hand out oscars for over-acting?

Over the weekend I watched:
-Ghost Of Frankenstein.
-House Of Frankenstein.
-Werewolf Of London.
-Shewolf Of London.
-Dracula's Daughter.
-Son Of Dracula.
-House Of Dracula.
-Eraserhead.

No.

In that case Jim Carrey would've got one decades ago. :p

Stay Alive.

Rambo
9/10
everything i had dreamed it would be.
badass.
brought 15 friends, every one loved it, 2 of which left saying it was their new favorite movie.

Saw IV
Mr. Brooks

Edmond

Anyone else see this ?

Resident Evil Extinction

This was a pretty good instalement, but it left me wanting more,

7/10

Actually yes, we picked it up cheap recently, and watched it.....and I am still unsure how I feel about it. I plan to watch it again sometime soon. I do have to say though, I wasn't exactly as shocked by the ending as it was implied I would be. Its definitely interesting, and thought provoking, I will give it that.

Anyway, watched....

Wrong Turn 2: not exactly a masterpiece or anything remotely resembling one....:rolleyes: but I did have fun for the most part. A lot gorier than I was expecting, actually.

Shooter ~ some of it, I really liked....some of it, not so much. Worth a watch for sure.

Knocked Up ~ actually, I liked this much more than I expected to. Some of the humor fell flat for me, but what I found funny, I found hilarious. Glad I finally watched it.

I found it hilarious, I'm just still wondering if that was intentional or not. :p Very short, and when it ended it took me a bit by surprise, so I'm with you. Don't really know what to think about it.


Just finished watching Resident Evil: Extinction. Better than the second, but that's about it.

every year:)

Fire in the Sky (1993)

This film is a reverse sandwich. Both ends are loaded with meat- both the first encounter and the startling conclusion are masterfully executed. The middle of the sandwich, though, is sluggish and dry, and we nearly give up on the thing before we're full. It sounded a lot better than it turned out to be.

best thing in it was without a doubt the spaceship scenes. After that it was pretty much downhill.

Mirrormask

I found it pretty good, not the best, but definatly worth a rental. Its the strange fairytale type story that you would expect to come from Neil Gaiman. 6/10

So far Gaimans novels hasn't worked out well as movies. I don't understand why that is.


But i'm still looking forward, with great hope, to Neverwhere (2009)

John Tucker Must Die- 6/10

Still a guilty pleasure.

Hmmmm....not sure, honestly....I did find quite a bit of it funny myself. So let's just go with yes, it was intentional....;)

:p ...the man has a point....;)

Halloween 4
 

Just watched Halloween 4 on Friday--on AMC of all channels. Since when did they start playing cool movies? Afterwards I logged onto their site, turns out they're giving away Godzilla dvds too...awesome: http://blogs.amctv.com/monsterfest/talk/

The Return

Why doesn't Sarah Michelle Gellar make good movies, she's so damn hot!


2/10

Transformers

As fun the second time as it was the first.
