The Movie You Just Watched: The Thread

[Fallon]

This weekend I watched The Spirit, The International and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The International was the only decent movie of the three.

[Marc with a c]

i saw in bruges twice this weekend, i really enjoyed it.

[El Mudo]

Watched Broken Flowers this weekend...


No one plays a depressed guy better than Bill Murray

[BeerBandit]

Howl's Moving Castle. Not my favorite Miyazaki film, the ending kind of felt rushed but beautiful nonetheless.

[raulfd4]

Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
Twins
Demolition Man

[DJEvelEd]

They just streamed Last House On The Left and I was strangely turned on by the r@pe scene. It was cool seeing Jesse Pinkman getting a hammer claw stuck in his head. I only wish Heisenberg would do the same in Br Ba.

[Slumbag]

I watched Dog Day Afternoon for the first time.
Pacino was brilliant, and John Cazale needed more lines. I liked it a lot.

[waytovietnam]

i went to the cinema and i saw The Mist

[Suspect Chin]

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down a Dream

Very interesting documentary if you like the music or not. Highly recommended. Or in the words of Paulo, at least 8.5 coffins out of 10.

[Snoogans]

Shark Attack

It was so bad I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to check out 2 and 3

[razorboy]

I believe I've now seen it 53,001 times.

[burrben]

filth and wisdom

directed by madonna

i kinda liked it

[joeyballsack]

Observe and Report.

Way too much frontal male nudity for me.

Not enough funny jokes.

A little Danny McBride, but not enough too say this movie is worth watching.

im still gonna see it. your review means nothing to me.

[raulfd4]

snatch - as a follow up to LS&2SB

not as good as lock, stock, but it delivers what you're looking for if you are in the mood for guy ritchie. brad pitt as a piker was pretty good. couldn't understand a thing he said.

[drjoek]

Firehouse dog with my daughter
We have an Irish terrier and that is the breed of the dog.

[Slumbag]

I watched Se7en. It was good. I watched it once, but was too occupied to pay attention.

[barjockey]

Burn after reading. Odd but good

[hedges]

Knocked Up
If you like Seth Rogan you will like this movie

[BeerBandit]

Triumph of the Will. Not a whole lot for content. Just a bunch of Nazi's walking and yelling. But it was beautifully put together.

[BeerBandit]

Swing Time. Another Astaire and Rogers offering. The same thing but better than Top Hat.

[hammersavage]

Slumdog Millionaire again.

It's a fine movie but I'm reassured that Danny Boyle should not have won best director over Van Sant.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i just watched "Donnie Darko" for the first time ever



i liked it.

[booster11373]

W. wanted to love it but it was just meh

[Recyclerz]

Starter for Ten.

If you ever wondered what Pretty in Pink would have been like if John Hughes were British this movie is for you.
But if you are feeling nostalgic for '80's alt-pop (The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen) or like reasonably intelligent coming-of-age movies, this one isn't bad.

[hedges]

Murderball, which is actually rugby on specially designed wheelchairs. Pretty cool documentary about the U.S. team and its members. The players are all paralyzed in some way.

[Slumbag]

I watched Taken this morning. Liked, didn't love.

Liam Neeson was amazing, however.

[brettmojo]

4 Fast 4 Furious.

Better than the 2nd one. Probably on par with the first one.

[Donnie Iris]

4 Fast 4 Furious.

Better than the 2nd one. Probably on par with the first one.

So it's better than a absolute pile of shit and on par with just a normal pile of shit?

I'm out.

[IamFogHat]

4 Fast 4 Furious.



Is that real? Did they really make a movie and name it that?

[Donnie Iris]

Man on Wire is a stellar documentary that I watched the other night.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Is that real? Did they really make a movie and name it that?

even worse. The 4th one is called "Fast & Furious"

you see, the first one was called "The Fast & The Furious" but the word "the" is so un-extreme so the new one is "Fast & Furious"

[hammersavage]

Observe and Report.


It was really dark and kinda disturbing. I think I heard a 'comedic Taxi Driver' and that works as a comparison. I'd also say Cable Guy and definitely King of Comedy work as a comparison thematically.

Not overly funny but I appreciated the dance it did between absurdist comedy and dark, deranged storytelling. Worth a viewing.

[Coach]

Rewatched Mad Max and The Road Warrior...I am Convinced that Humongus from Road Warrior is the Captain of Police from Mad Max...both muscleheads, bald (albeit humongus had wisps, but the captain shaved his head), use of the arms when they spoke, and...lots of Humongus' crew drove cop cars or wore the same leathers as Mel in Mad Max, plus cop bike helmets and goggles.

[WampusCrandle]

i watched Fargo with my dad - good times

[Fallon]

Saw Observe and Report tonight. It was decent, a bit slow.

They showed a trailer for Seth's next movie and it's with Adam Sandler. Looks so shitty.

[Kublakhan61]

Watched Slumdog Millionaire last night. It's a bit too long for it's own good and the narrative becomes redundant after about an hour - overall, I enjoyed it and can understand how it won the big awards. It probably was better then its competition.
Danny Boyle has really fallen off though.

[KISSjunky]

the ninth gate... j.depp in a fairly suspenseful mystery/ thriller, directed by r. Polanski. I give it 2 scissors up!

[yojimbo7248]

saw "Duplicity" last next - excellent. more funny, better written, and far more original than I was expecting. can't recommend it enough.

[WampusCrandle]

just finished watching Casino with my dad - he can't stop laughing at James Woods' line: "I ship you to Bolivia in a fucking box!"

[GreatAmericanZero]

just finished watching Casino with my dad - he can't stop laughing at James Woods' line: "I ship you to Bolivia in a fucking box!"

i watched it today too! on cinemax. I still think theres too much narration in that movie though

today i also, unknowingly, watched two movies with Bob Kelly in it

the first was the documentary that Jamie Kennedy made called "Heckler" and it was actually really good. They interview a lot of really funny people telling stories about getting heckled (Joe Rogan, David Cross, Dice, Patton Oswalt..). Also, it was pretty funny hearing Jamie Kennedy read his terrible reviews and then talk to the critics about how they hate him so much. I walked away from that movie saying "i wish it was longer" which is always a good thing. Bob Kelly's part was like "duuuuuuuuuude, hecklers duuuuuuuuude, you gotta just believe in yourself duuuuuuuuude"

then i watched "Good Luck Chuck" with Dane Cook. What a piece of shit! Jessica Alba tries to be funny in it and she couldn't be less funny. Dane Cook tries to be charming and hes just a fag. Everything is a cliche and nothing is shocking or funny..it was a chick flick trying to be maxim magazine. Bob Kelly was the security guard at the airport during the final act where Dane Cook has to get to Jessica Alba before she leaves for Antarctica (no shit). I think his role was to say "duuuuuuuuuuuuude, dane cook, duuuuuuuuude, to get jessica alba you gotta just believe in yourself duuuuuuuuude"

[underdog]

A Clockwork Orange.

I thought I had seen the movie before, but I must have fallen asleep watching it, because I only remembered the beginning and the very end.

What a fantastic, fucked up movie. And why were there so many contemporary places in the movie? Every house and building they went to was an awesome design.

[WampusCrandle]

GAZ - was the Heckler really that good? i thought of buying it when it was brought up on O&A, but i hesitated.

[biozombie]

Little Children

It was kind of like if magnolia wasn't remotely interesting. The only good part was Rorshach jerking off in the passenger seat of a mentally unstable woman's car. Kate Winslett fucking that Nite Owl II guy was good too, otherwise it was a pretty amazingly boring movie. Just another movie full of 1 dimensional characters...

If it rains again tomorrow, I think I'll watch the first 2 Mad Max movies like Coach did. Unless I'm missing something, they did a real crummy job of explaining how the world tuned to shit between the 1st & 2nd movies.

[GreatAmericanZero]

GAZ - was the Heckler really that good? i thought of buying it when it was brought up on O&A, but i hesitated.

it is good and its worth watching...i don't now if i'd buy it but its on showtime ondemand

[Caseyelan]

I watched Girls Just Want to Have fun at 6:45 am due to mild contractions and man, that really is the most overlooked fantastic 80's movie ever.

Be Kind Rewind

Saw it on HBO and was way better than expected considering Jack Black's track record picking comedies recently.

[razorboy]

Well I watched Let the Right One In for probably the twentieth time. I don't know what it is, but I just love that film.

[raulfd4]

http://www.the-warriors.fr/musique/Soundtrack_-_The_Warriors-front.jpg

Can you dig it?

[drjoek]

Slumdog Millionaire. I went into it sceptical but really enjoyed it. Kids wins Who Wants to... And they show how he knows the answers based on his life growing up in Mumbai slums. Freida Pinto absolutely gorgeous.
If you haven't seen Millions also by Danny Boyle pick it up.

[Kublakhan61]

If you haven't seen Millions also by Danny Boyle pick it up.

Yeah?? I was on the fence about whether or not I was gonna commit some time to that one. Seems to me Boyle is sliding backwards and I was afraid of a let down...

Sunshine's third act was unwatchable IMO, and Slumdog was good but too often felt like a MTV movie that hopes to contextualize MIA's music. Style over substance. Could have used some edits, but better then Sunshine.

Anyway, I'll have a look at Millions on your word here.

[Slumbag]

The Spirit.
It was so bad, I felt like I needed to shower after it.
It molested my brain with awfulness.


One highlight was Scarlett Johannson marching around in a Nazi outfit. That was kinda sexy.

[dereckfishboy]

The One. I never liked the movie much but the boy loves karate flicks. I had no memory of Jason Statham being in thid movie.

[drusilla]

Miracle at St Anna-
The miracle was that I watched the whole thing. I didn't feel for any of the characters once they were out of immediate danger.



it was too long but needed a better/longer ending

[Gvac]

Believe it or not, I just finished watching Dark Knight for the first time.

Holy overrated, Batman.

Heath Ledger? Meh.

Greatest comic book movie of all time? Nah.

Corny, over acted, and predictable.

Come to think of it, maybe that DOES make it a great comic book movie.

[drusilla]

same here

[Gvac]

That might be it.

It wasn't a terrible movie, and I enjoyed watching it to some degree, but it certainly didn't blow me away.

Maybe it's because I'm not a 14 year old fanboy, but by the way people were reacting to it I thought I was about to see the greatest action movie of all time.

[drusilla]

it really sucks that he had to die & in such a tragic way right after he finished making the movie because that's what made everyone care about it so much

OMG HE POURED HIMSELF INTO THE ROLE SO HARD IT KILLED HIM!


blech

If I ever heard anybody say that I'd forcibly pour pills down their throat so they could die like Heath Ledger.

HE PLAYED THE JOKER.

A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER.

[drusilla]

tell it to the academy brother

Try to talk sense to a bunch of arrested adolescent, aging queens?

Good luck!

[biozombie]

The disappearing pencil gag was funnier than the disappearing ambien one.

[barjockey]

Taxi Driver. Genius.
love 70's NYCity

[hammersavage]

All About Eve. Had never seen it before. I thought it was gonna be a romantic, somewhat comedic film but its actually pretty dark. Timeless story about betrayal in the entertainment industry. One of the best films ever made.

[Recyclerz]

Well, you do post here a lot so nobody can say you haven't tried.


Let me add a belated :thumbup: to the chorus for In Bruges. Dark comedies don't get much darker or funnier than this.

[TheGameHHH]

State of Play.......suuuuuuucccccckked!!!!!

Rachael McAdams is so fucking hot but even she couldnt make this movie bearable. Let me sum it up for you. Gary Condit, Chandra Levy, Halliburton and the corporations being all corporation-y.

I watched The Onion Movie.
It was racist, un PC, and all around fucking brutal.
Loved it. Totally hilarious.

oh shit, i totally forgot about that part. i need to watch it again. i was laughing the entire movie.

[Suspect Chin]

Sling Blade. Great movie. I expected it to be bloody and gory. However, Billy Bob should know never to go full retard. Umm Huhh.

[Marc with a c]

I didn't think it was slow at all. It was a little outlandish and unrealistic, but I laughed..
dark humor, full frontal nudity, bloody, sexy and gross.. PERFECT!

Twilight is playing in the staff room right now.. not into it though.

[Mullenax]

Twister, just because of the sound clips on O&A. I forgot Philip Seymore Hoffman was in that. The nickname-coolness really holds up. Not the nickname "Coolness", although that would be on par with some of the other ones.

[hammersavage]

GAZ - was the Heckler really that good? i thought of buying it when it was brought up on O&A, but i hesitated.

Heckler was pretty good. It's more about critics than stand up hecklers. But Kennedy confronting all his bad reviews was pretty cool. Gvac would have a field day with that behavior.

State of Play.......suuuuuuucccccckked!!!!!

Rachael McAdams is so fucking hot but even she couldnt make this movie bearable. Let me sum it up for you. Gary Condit, Chandra Levy, Halliburton and the corporations being all corporation-y.

I completely disagree. I don't even think that is the main point of the movie. How news is covered and what news is released and where newspapers are going was the main theme.

Affleck proves again that when he focuses and makes good selections, he's a competent actor. Overall, a really good political thriller. Brought up issues that people pretty much know about but it wasn't heavy handed. I could have done without the last twist, I thought the movie played well until the very end.

I also don't think Rachel McAdams is remotely attractive.

[hammersavage]

Oh, and I saw Sin Nombre.

I hope this didn't come out too early for Oscar. I really loved it. And the fact that it was from a first time director is incredible.

In the vein of City of God and The Motorcycle Diaries, it tells the story of a Honduran girl making a trek to America and also the story of a Mexican gang and how they cross paths.

Here is the trailer:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VTSi0pKjC5g&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VTSi0pKjC5g&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

I highly recommend it. Great looking and well told. Great movie.

[JPMNICK]

Just watched Slingblade last night for the 1st time. Whole movie, i had no idea the main character was played by Billy Bob. He was fucking amazing in it.

[hammersavage]

And to think, now he's one of our greatest musicians.

[underdog]

Oh, and I saw Sin Nombre.

I cannot fucking wait to see this movie. It looks absolutely amazing.

Watched that last night. Hong Kong comedy, amused us.

[BeerBandit]

Rock & Roll Frankenstein. I watched it because a guy I used to work with was in it. Awesomely bad. Contemporary B-Movie wants, check it out.

[Slumbag]

I went to see Observe and Report earlier.
It's really good. It's not uproariously funny, but I really liked it.

The movie was ok but nothing really special, everyone seems to be blinded by the foreign aspect ohhhhhh he chased a girl he was in love with till she finally said ok, it was forrest gump in india with a gameshow thrown in, very over rated and definitely not worth an oscar.

Then again this was a crappy year for film

[WampusCrandle]

just watched Used Cars, again - fucking love that movie

[GreatAmericanZero]

i just watched "Factotum" based on the Charles Bukowski novel and staring Matt Dillion. It was really really good. I never read the novel but it was definitely my type of movie. Non-stop boozing and really dark and Matt Dillion is really good in it. I highly recommend it, I'm surprised I never heard of this film before

[underdog]

Just finished The Edge Of Heaven. It was a German/Turkish movie where a bunch of people's lives cross over and converge. It was absolutely brilliant.

And there was a girl in the movie that was breathtaking. I had to go figure out who it was. Her name is Nurgül Yeşilçay. As soon as she was on screen, I was floored.

L4ayer Cake on ESD's recommendation. Very good movie but you gotta turn the subtitles on with these damn British actors.

[biozombie]

The Story Of Anvil. Loved it, even if I never got into the band back in the 80s.

[Slumbag]

I watched Choke for the first time since I saw it in theaters.

It's not as bad as I initially remember. It just needed to be an hour longer.
The director creating a whole storyline to involve his character in the story is fucking bullshit, though.

And Angelica Huston looked to fit to play a woman who hasn't eaten in months.

[hedges]

I just watched Slapshot for the third or fourth time. And I agree with Ronnie B. that it is the best sports movie ever made.

Kristen Bell looked super cute though.

i watched "Rescue Dawn"...i thought it was Made-for-TV quality at best. And Christian Bale did one of the worst lead acting performances i've ever seen. I guess the real guy was born and raised in Germany before becoming a U.S. airforce soldier so maybe thats why he talked so strangely..but either way Bale just sounded like a retard the whole thing

I saw X-Men Origins Wolverine and couldn't believe how bad the areas where his claws meet his skin in every frame- his claws look like they were made in ArtCAM. If I didn't know who most of the characters were already I don't think the movie would make sense, and the storyline liberties taken made the movie less interesting (no samurai period?)

It was worse then The Punisher but better than The Happening.

Ouch! Made-for-tv.... Tough criticism- for what's its worth, Herzog is known as an art-house director and he made that film in 44 days. If you're interested in the real guy at all "Little Dieter Needs to Fly" (also by Herzog) - same story but all told by the man himself. Then again, you already know the story so...

I watched JCVD - I enjoyed the first half but by then the gimmick had worn thin and I could wait to get out of it.
The story: Jean Claude Van Damme stars as himself, washed up actor making shitty korean films for little money while also going through a public custody battle. He ends up in a bank during a robbery and is faced with a real dangerous situation, while also being faced with the fact that he not a superman.
Like i said, it wears thin.

I watched the leaked version of this last night so I was just chalking up how terrible the claws were to unfinished FX shots, although it doesn't surprise me that they looked that terrible in the finished version.

Nothing about this movie really made sense. It's a movie about superheros who dont use their powers that much. It's an ensemble where everyone only gets 5 minutes of screen time. The best actor is playing a really 1 dimensional role, the most charasmatic actor gets cast in the most charasmatic part and you make him mute for 5 of the 10 minutes he's on screen. Chronologically it was very messy and nothing had any motivation.

[BeerBandit]

Super High Me. I like it. It was pretty funny.

[Furtherman]

Timecrimes... this movie was great! It's a Spanish film, subtitled. A man gets knocked back in time one hour and it causes a whole lotta problems. It's already been picked up for an American remake.

I saw Fighting yesterday. Tickets are free and I needed to see something. Not very good. I honestly think Terrance Howard played his character with a touch of retardation. I'm not kidding.

Channing Tatum has a good screen presence and Dito shot New York well.

I really wanted to like it cuz I think Dito could be a really good director after Guide but this was just a mess. Out of focus at times and obvious. Thumb down!

[hammersavage]

Oh and The Hustler. Newman is the king of cool. What a brilliant movie. Easily in my top 50.

[Suspect Chin]

The Reader. Outstanding movie. Lots of nudity both male and female and none of it hot. I thought the kid deserved the nominations more than she did.

[barjockey]

Stephan Baldwin's classic "Bound by lies". So bad its good. At least Kristy Swansons in it.

[Slumbag]

Dude.
I watched Notorious.

I think it may be my new favorite terrible movie.
It was really bad. I hate biopics anyways, but this was really cummy. I got the Directors Cut, which is like two hours long, and became obsessed with it. Angela Bassett's Jamaican accent kept dropping in and out, the guy that played Puffy only sounded like him on the phone (his Puffy dance was A fucking PLUS though).


Everyone needs to see this movie. It's outstanding.

[Kublakhan61]

Timecrimes... this movie was great! It's a Spanish film, subtitled. A man gets knocked back in time one hour and it causes a whole lotta problems. It's already been picked up for an American remake.

See the original!

http://emiliek.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8354a95ee69e201156ff656a4970b-800wi

It Was Awesome!! Thanks, buddy!
I suggest not streaming this from netflx - the audio drops at the 30 min mark and returns 7-8 mins later out of sync by 7-8 mins. I still watched it through - its that much fun! Rent the disc and enjoy this time travel movie.

[Suspect Chin]

Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Another great one from Woody Allen. This movie proves that he still understands women better than most women. Lots of drawn out dialogue and sexual tension with beautiful women in the main roles. Classic Woody Allen.

[SHWA25GUNNER]

Cache: Juliette Binoche (small role only). Great psychological thriller. Backdrop is France's treatment of Algerian immigrants in the early '60s and the drowning of 200 Algerians in the Seine in 1963 by Paris police. Fantastic film, stays with you for days.

I watched this movie called "Joshua"...its a new movie but i don't remember hearing about it in theaters.

Anyway, its about Sam Rockwell and his wife (the chick from "the departed") and they have a creepy son and a newborn baby. The creepy son turns out to be evil and kills people and is just generally fucked up. Its a movie thats been done before, but i'll recommend it just because I think Sam Rockwell is a really good actor and I think he saves the movie. Its just one of those movies where you can say "wow, if this actor wasn't so good this movie would be completely worthless". But its a good watch if its on cable one day and you are bored

Slumdog Millionaire, finally. Absolutely brilliant.

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.


This weekend I saw Religulous. Very funny and very, very smart.

[hammersavage]

Through the Fire for about the 5th time.

One of the great sports docs of all time. Really cinematic and well shot. Just amazing to see the story of how Telfair dealt with death in his family and all of the people looking to him to change their lives. All these people leeching off of a 17 year old kid. The responsibility forced on some people at such a young age. It's a great story

[hedges]

The Recruit
Not a great CIA/spy movie, but it had moments of entertainment. Something like Enemy of the State is much better even though that movie isn't the best either. (And that's NSA not CIA)

[Suspect Chin]

Requiem for a Dream for the first time. Probably one of the most realistic drug addiction movies I've seen. Netflix envelope says you will either love it or hate it. I loved it. Will definitely check out more from Darren Aronofsky.

pineapple express... insomnia sucks but the movie is okay

[JDE]

The Lion In Winter is on TCM right now, it's hard to think of a film with better acting in it, just amazing stuff from Hepburn, O'toole and a young Hopkins.

I watched W. It was terrible. I didn't hate Brolin as much as I thought I would, but everyone else was awful. Terrible dialogue, and in 2 hours and 9 minutes, they never bring up the election once.

My chick and I watched Paradise Lost: Child Murders at Robin Hood this weekend at it was fucking riveting. We could not turn away. There is a sequel, which I've stayed spoiler free from that I'm getting and can't wait.

This is the great thing, neither of us were sure, but both were open to either possibility, and the certain person being accused being thrown in there (without spoiling, those who have seen it know what I mean), solidified it as a great film, so we're really looking forward to part two.

I'll say this just as a tease and I don't think it will give away too much information: The happy-go-lucky-we-will-get-exonerated attitude of the kids goes away big time in the second movie and the "guy" gets 10 times crazier and more entertaining.

[biozombie]

Night Patrol - starring The Unknown Comic, Linda Blair, Andy Clay & Pat Morita as "Rape Victim". Mind numbingly stupid, marginally amusing, particularly young Andy Clay doing "Dice" as The Unknown Comic.

Oh, and Linda Blair's tits make a brief appearance at the end, that part was pretty cool. I can't post a picture of that here, but I can post:

Saw the Tyson doc last night. Incredible stuff. It's just Tyson talking for an hour and half. Lots of footage from his fights - including his first title fight, the Holyfield fight, and his first loss. Tyson basically walks the viewer through his life from elementary school to today - he does not shy away from any subject (including the rape case).
There's is a good chance that any perception of Tyson you hold before seeing the film is likely to prove either incorrect or wildly misled by the media.

Highly Recommend it.

[hammersavage]

In a couple hours, it will be The Wild Bunch. My first viewing

[Suspect Chin]

Watched The Wrestler and Frost/Nixon over the weekend.

Loved Frost/Nixon although I am not old or studious enough to remember the actual interviews.

The Wrestler was ok at best. I think all the positive reviews were just a gift to Mickey Rourke for making a come back.

I loved this movie, but how much of it was real video and how much of it was fake? The young guy playing looked exactly like him, but it seemed too clear to be an old video.

I just finished watching Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten. Aside from the historic concert footage, there was numerous interviews with colleagues, fellow bandmates, friends, and musicians. The doc presented him quite well.

[GreatAmericanZero]

when 2009 ends it would be time to choose the best movie of the first decade of the 21st century. I think for me its going to be "Eternal Sunshine", unless there is a hidden gem in the 2009 schedule that i'm not aware of yet

Saw it tonight. (Three people in the theater - me, my cousin and some guy who was chuckling through the whole thing.) I second what Kublakhan said.

best movie of the 80s is 1980-1989

best movie of the 90s is 1990-1999

and best movie of 00s would be 2000-2009. no one would take a movie made in 1990 and say its the best movie of the 80s

[GreatAmericanZero]

watched 2 movies today

the first was called "Neo Ned". I DVR-ed it because it was about a neo-nazi in an insane asylum that falls in love with a black girl that thinks shes hitler. The premise is beter than the film but it still had some good performances as well as a lot of silly stuff that would make you roll your eyes. worth one watch

i also watched the "Get Smart" movie with Steve Carrel. It was light, fun entertainment. If you have kids its probably a good movie to watch with them. Also worth one watch if you want decent mindless entertainment

[ANC]

Choke :thumbup:

I thought it was really good, from what I hear those of you who have read the book will disagree.

Layer Cake :thumbup:

On ESD's recommendation. Not what I expected mainly because I went in just knowing the title. Me and my wife thought it was great. I highly recommend it.

Oh this movie.........I looked forward to it for about 4 years, probably heard more about the production of it than any other in my life.

Was it good? Not really. But it had a couple funny parts and a story that was somewhat similar to my experience back then (sneaking out of study hall to buy tickets for everyone, light saber fights, friend dying a couple years later) so that part I enjoyed. But no one without a similar story or a serious love for anything Star Wars could like it.

Cloverfield. Thought it was cool and different, but the ending was a let down.

[TonyStark]

[ChrisTheCop]

I watched "Henry Poole Is Here" last night on netflix (view instantly).

I wasnt expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.
I suppose I should warn you of some stuff in case youre not into it, but that might ruin your experience. Very low key yet good performances by all involved.
(Luke Wilson, Radha Mitchell, Adrianna Barraza, etc...)

It's a "dark comedy", rather slow paced.. but enjoyable.

The Girlfriend Experience was good. I recommend it if you liked Bubble.

Finally watched Slumdog Millionaire.

Great cinematography but a terrible movie.

Poor character development and accents impossible to understand.

The only way to watch it is with subtitles on and Wikipedia open.

[ChrisTheCop]

Ha. I watched Slumdog Millionaire on my Iphone and couldnt see the subtititles.

But I enjoyed the movie. America's poor have no idea what poor is.

[Schlitz001]

Chasing Amy. Haven't seen it in about ten years. Not as good as I remembered.

[hammersavage]

The Hangover.

Very funny but I thought it would be a little bit funnier. I like Phillips because of Old School and Road Trip so I had high expectations for this. It just took a while to get going. You know from the trailer that they black out and piece the night together. It took about 15 minutes to get to that point that wasn't very funny. But it did get funnier as it went along and actually, the closing credits might be the funniest part of the movie. I was crying during them.


Galafinakis is a breakout though. He's extrememly funny.

[GreatAmericanZero]

just watched "Benjamin Buttons"

if you seen the trailer, just think of what that movie would be like if it was written by the guy who did "Forrest Gump" and you've seen the movie. It does nothing to surprise or interest you...its just the trailer but 2.5 hours longer

My thoughts exactly. Even down to his southern accent, his part in historic moments, his girl that treats him like shit, his mother that dies, the hummingbird like the butterfly in Gump, on and on.

Most disappointing part was that the skipped how he dies altogether. That is what I was waiting for the entire movie.

I saw Be Kind Rewind last night. It was great until the story turned into a weepy piece of shit. Exactly at the moment Sigourney Weaver shows up the movie noses dives toward the earth. That Gondry CANNOT sustain a film for its entire duration.

I just watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Pretty interesting film. I give it 3/5 stars. I'm sure if I watched it again I would pick up a bunch of new stuff, but I doubt I will anytime soon.

I just watched The Happening. If you haven't seen this movie yet, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! From beginning to end, the movie is GOD AWFUL!

The best part of the movie went something like this:

Crazy old lady: You planning on stealing from me? ..... You planning on murdering me in my sleep?

Marky Mark: Whaaaat? Nooooo!

:flush:

I watched Bottle Shock. Pretty entertaining. Tells the story of the California wine makers and how they would go on to win a blind French wine tasting, pretty much putting Cali wine on the map.

I know dick about wine but its actually pretty infomative about the process. Really nice cinematography of the Napa landscapes. Well acted. Interesting story I had never heard.

Overall, very watchable.

The Hangover.

Very funny but I thought it would be a little bit funnier. I like Phillips because of Old School and Road Trip so I had high expectations for this. It just took a while to get going. You know from the trailer that they black out and piece the night together. It took about 15 minutes to get to that point that wasn't very funny. But it did get funnier as it went along and actually, the closing credits might be the funniest part of the movie. I was crying during them.

Galafinakis is a breakout though. He's extrememly funny.

i just came back from it and The Hangover is great from beginning to end, so I disagree with you that it was slow in the beginning. and Galafinakis was damn funny in the first 15 minutes, just being in a jock strap and saying craziness.

the end was definitely crazy. the theater was completely packed, and people had to get their money back because they oversold the showing.

I watched Synecdoche, NY.

Absolutely brilliant. It was cast perfectly, it was entertaining, and Charlie Kaufman is a fucking genius.
Probably the best movie I have seen all year.

I saw Up! last weekend... :help: because my daughter was dying to see it. Otherwise I never watch movies.

[Cyber Trucker]

I just saw Wall-E and I liked it.:clap:

It probably helps in a packed theater. Comedies always do. It was just that I knew where it was going, and it took too long to get there. Just get to the morning after already, we know that's the basis of the movie. But the ending with the slideshow is genius.

I gotta watch this again. I liked it but it just seemed too weird, without explanation (why the fuck was her house on fire). I also said it would have been better from another director (preferably Gondry or Jonze).

I watched it twice, and I'm still trying to figure some things out.
