Movies You Have Just Seen

[Umbrae]

I watched Valkyrie last night. It was better than I expected. Really intense.

[RedWizard]

I watched Gremlins the other night. Christmas fun!

[PSRT]

I watched The Dark Knight for the first time last night. It was better than I expected, but it was damn long! Did anyone else have a problem with the light levels during some of the action sequences? I couldn't tell what was going on half the time.

I know what you mean. Despite what the masses would have you believe, the Christopher Nolan films aren't the best movies in the series. Good entries, but not the best.

[Heiae]

Actually, I think the Nolan films are the best in the Batman film franchise, but Begins had issues. The Dark Knight was amazing, though. I watched it two days ago and loved it.

The Joker was extremely well done, Two-Face managed to not feel tacked on and, darnit, it was just an awesome movie.

It's also my first BD movie. Heh.

[AmuroRay]

Watched Wall-E yesterday, it's awesome, as usual from Pixar.

[Heiae]

Watched Wall-E yesterday, it's awesome, as usual from Pixar.

The only Pixar movie I don't love is Cars. I dunno. Something about it.. I just can't get behind.

[HeartlessCloud]

I love Pixar, too...I got Wall-E on DVD for Xmas, which was a great present. The Dark Knight is the only movie I liked better than Wall-E this year.

I went to the movies yesterday and watched about half of The Spirit (meh), then left and watched Seven Pounds (pretty good, but too slow and some parts of the story were really murky).

[RedWizard]

I just watched Iron Man again. It coulda used more action sequences, but overall, it was done very well.

[GlassAdam]

Watched Wall-E yesterday, it's awesome, as usual from Pixar.

I also watched Wall-E yesterday! And yes, it was awesome. I couldn't stop blathering on about it at work today. Some chick said she didn't like it because of the lack of talking in the first half. Needless to say, I'm no longer a fan of that chick.

[KnightAttack]

I love TDK, just watched it again.

I think Batman Begins is better however.

[GlassAdam]

I love TDK, just watched it again.

I think Batman Begins is better however.

I'm surprised by that. But then again, I like the Tim Burton Batman movies better.

[RedWizard]

I'm surprised by that. But then again, I like the Tim Burton Batman movies better.

I agree with GlassAdam. Tim Burton for the win!

[ReverendHobo]

I saw "The day the earth stood still" with my dad today. It was pretty different from the original, but I found it pretty good.

[Umbrae]

Huh... I didn't know there was an original one.

[RedWizard]

Huh... I didn't know there was an original one.

There was! Check out James Rolfe's review on it:

[Umbrae]

Oooh... watching now.

[WanderingMind]

Watched The Spirit two days ago. I think it's the worst movie of the year and call me crazy, but I liked the Clone Wars better than this movie.

[KnightAttack]

I don't get all the Hate for Clone Wars.


I didn't think it was that bad. The plot sucked something fierce, but other than that, I didn't mind it. I don't mind the TV series either. It's got a much better plot, kinda what the movie should have had.

At least the action sequences in the movie were good. I could have done without Jabba's uncle, though.

[Heiae]

The TV series is actually GOOD. I watch every episode.

Well, it's not always good (I'm looking at you, Jar Jar episode), but Rookies and the Kit Fisto episode were awesome.

Still not as good as Tartakovsky's Clone Wars miniseries, or as engaging as the Republic comics. But, of course, the series is aimed at a younger audience.. so.. That's forgivable.

[Chirs3]

Since I'm on Christmas break, I've been attacking the GIANT PILE O' UNWATCHED FILMS that I've had sitting around for a while.

Saving Private Ryan - Cut out the hokey graveyard intro and outro, and it's awesome. And I didn't remember so many big names as support.

Wall-E - Even better the second time around.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - surprisingly grim in places. Took a while to get going, but once it did it was pretty good. I think The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is a little better, but still, Caspian's Perfectly Acceptable Entertainment.

The Powerpuff Girls Movie - missing a lot of what made the show good, but it's still fun.

Wanted - Awful.

The President's Analyst - Awful.

War Inc. - Awful.

Iron Man - Surprisingly good. Most of the time these movies are either super serious (Nolan's Batman movies) or way over the top (Spiderman), but Iron Man managed to strike a nice balance. It's just silly enough to be fun from beginning to end, but not so silly that you stop caring about any of it.

Cars - Better than I remembered. I didn't like it that much when I saw it in theaters.

Corpse Bride - Covered this back when the old forums were still up, I think. I liked it more than Nightmare Before Christmas, you guys said I was crazy. Good times. :p

Still got a couple more to get through before the end of the week.

[Umbrae]

Wanted wasn't too bad. Had cheesy dialogue (specially towards the end when they talk TO the camera), but the action was good. Had some really funny scenes too.

[ChukoLiang]

I'ma watch valkyrie tomorrow, hopefully.

[KnightAttack]

I'm going to watch Flags of our Fathers soon.

[PSRT]

I'ma watch valkyrie tomorrow, hopefully.

I want impressions when you get back, if you do indeed go. I saw a trailer for it last night, and it looked pretty awesome. Tom Cruise looks kinda weird in it, though.

[WanderingMind]

I was going to watch it instead of the Spirit while I was at Universal Studios, but I changed my mind and now wish I stuck with my original choice. Tell me how it is, Chuko.

[ChukoLiang]

also, pulp fiction til 5:30 last night. That night was epic. I want that wallet.

[ReverendHobo]

I saw The Spirit on New Years Eve...

I actually liked it. I found it quite funny.

[ChukoLiang]

I watched Valkyrie yesterday. If I knew nothing about what really happened at all, I would've enjoyed it A LOT. Very well made, but sitting there knowing exactly what happens and why ruins the movie.

Cruise, though he had no accent, was still a decent actor in the role. Good at playing someone who's serious and pissed off. I really grew to like some of the characters, too.

[KomodoAce]

Watch the Wrestler.
Do it.

Do it NOW!

It's so good, even if you aren't a fan of wrestling, you'll enjoy Marisa Tomei's body and most of all, Mickey Rourke's awesomeness.

[RimDot]

Just watched Burn After Reading... meh, It was ok. Didn't pick up until half way through the movie.

[GlassAdam]

Did anybody see The King of Kong, about the rivalry for the Donkey Kong high score? Was it any good? Should I track down a copy?

[KomodoAce]

I haven't seen it, but based on the opinions of people I know, it's a great movie. Track it down.

[Heiae]

It's more of a documentary than a movie, but it wasn't bad.

[PSRT]

It's definitely a documentary, but it's pretty interesting. Billy Mitchell's a total asshole in it, but I read interviews with the Twin Galaxies referee (can't remember his name at the moment), and apparently selective editing on the part of the director ended up painting a pretty negative picture of the guy. Made for a great film, though.

[KnightAttack]

Watch the Wrestler.
Do it.

Do it NOW!

It's so good, even if you aren't a fan of wrestling, you'll enjoy Marisa Tomei's body and most of all, Mickey Rourke's awesomeness.

I want to see that movie.

Is Marisa Tomei nude in it? I thought I heard she was.


She's still damn good looking.

[AmuroRay]

I want to see that movie.

Is Marisa Tomei nude in it? I thought I heard she was.


She's still damn good looking.

I just asked Komodo about that, he said YES MANY TIMES....he even said "She's A Stripper in the movie dude, she's a stripper."

[GlassAdam]

Billy Mitchell's got luxurious hair. And hot sauce.

[KnightAttack]

I just asked Komodo about that, he said YES MANY TIMES....he even said "She's A Stripper in the movie dude, she's a stripper."

Hahaha.


I'll probably see it next week then.

[Chirs3]

Hot Fuzz - Doesn't get the love it deserves. Everyone loves Shaun of the Dead (and rightfully so, because it's great), but I never even hear people mention Hot Fuzz, good or bad. It's a really fun movie, and a worthy followup.

The Dark Knight - First time I saw it, I was extremely disappointed with it. I think it was the hype and my expectations combining to create some impossible goal for the movie. I loved Batman Begins, and I assumed the sequel would be similar (and wanted the sequel to be similar), but TDK is a completely different kind of movie. It wasn't what I expected, it wasn't what I wanted, and I think that's why I was sour on it.

Watching it a second time, knowing what it actually is and with expectations in check, I really liked it.

Panic Room - Eh.

[ReverendHobo]

Hot Fuzz is amazing, I love it just as much, maybe even more than, Shaun of the Dead.

[KomodoAce]

Shaun of the Dead was okay for me. It has those moments and relies on the subtle humor.

Never seen Hot Fuzz. That reminds me, Pineapple Express is getting released on DVD soon. Need to get that.

[ChukoLiang]

My opinion on the dark knight should be clear. Don't make me break out the evidence.

Hot Fuzz was, in fact, awesome.

[WanderingMind]

Hot Fuzz is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[Baberific]

yea, simon pegg just plain rocked in that movie.

But, over the course of several days I saw 5 terrific movies.

First was Slumgod millionare, which was freaking fantastic, the movie had me gripped to the very last second. Another wonderful film from director danny boyle.

second was Frost/Nixon which was a very well done political film by ron howard, frank langella was perfect as nixon.

third was Milk, even though the subject matter might be weird for some, the film was amazing, sean penn gets my props for the most convincing gay man played by a straight guy. Sort of odd how the castro district was about a couple blocks away from where we were watching the film.

4th, was The wrestler, which featured a brave performance by the plastic surgery induced, micky rourke. This film made me sad as well as thrilled. Darren aronofsky, who I remember directed the extremely headache inducing "the fountain"
did an extraordinary job with the low budget pic.

and last but not least, was WALL-E, which was a very heartwarming film, despite it's semi mature subject matter. I still love howEvery single person on that ship basically became morbidly obese.

[RimDot]

Resident Evil: Degeneration

It's very... Resident Evilish. I enjoyed it. I was hopping for a bit more but, it was decent. The basic animation wasn't very good. The detail was great but, the people, especially Leon walked without really moving their arms. Not much for facial expressions either. They did cast Steven Blume (Spike, Mugen) and that's always a plus even if his character sucked.

[LadyFox]

Wall-E was great. I saw it in theaters a few months back.

The real issue here is that no one has listed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button! WHAT A FANTASTIC MOVIE! I have watched it twice since it came out. It is absolutely moving... I just loved everything about it. I love the way the story was told, I love how certain scenes were filmed, I loved the different stages of emotion from the different characters, I loved Brad and Kate's perfomance, and I loved the subtle yet appropriate humour.

This is most certainly a film worthy of the insanely high movie ticket prices. Yes, it's rather long but once you sit down and you begin to appreciate Benjamin, you won't notice the time at all (unless you have to pee so I highly suggest you take care of that initially and don't drink too much during the movie). You won't want to miss any of it. In conclusion, I just want to say that this movie touched me to the core and helps you appreciate the little things in life you take for granted. 9.5/10 for me so go watch it.

[Heiae]

Wandering saw Benjamin Buttons.

[LadyFox]

It's not plural, it's just Button you silly goose. Also, I don't see any commentary from him about it. :(

[Heiae]

lolpluralization

I think he talked about it in his journal!

I don't have any interest in it, but good movies are always a good thing.

[ChukoLiang]

I think at the least for the next year, almost every time someone mentions a movie, my retort will be:

You know what movie's better? DARK KNIGHT.

It applies in so many situations.

possible exceptions: Wolverine, other movies (that I would have seen before)

[KomodoAce]

I saw Benjamin Button as well.

I liked it a lot. It's pretty similar to Forest Gump except the main character isn't mentally handicapped and has that "born old, die a baby" medical condition. There are more than a few occasions when Benjamin does something that Forest did, such as learning to walk without a crutch or aid of some sort and when his mother tells him a phrase very similar to the "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get".

It was Gump without the outlandish situations. I will say, it's not a very Box-Office friendly movie. Gump was more entertaining, BUT I had more of a an attachment to the characters in Benjamin Button.

It's easily in my top 3 movies of 08 list. I liked it more than the Wrestler, although I still think Rourke gave the better performance in lead role. Cate Blanchett was stunningly beautiful too.

I wish they had given Julia Ormond more to do, it was a surprise to see her in a movie again.

[LadyFox]

There are more than a few occasions when Benjamin does something that Forest did, such as learning to walk...


That specific scene really reminded me of Gump. It was done by the same people though wasn't it? Using the war as a backdrop for the movie and other natural disasters. Gump was much more humour than Button, but I'm such an emotional person, I mind shedding some tears when it's worthy.

I think at the least for the next year, almost every time someone mentions a movie, my retort will be:

You know what movie's better? DARK KNIGHT.

I can't say that I was too crazy about Dark Knight. The best thing about that movie was the Joker. In all, it didn't do for me what I'd hoped it would and I'm kind of sick of it now. The family kept wanting to watch it during the holiday and I must have watched it 3 times in one week.

[KomodoAce]

Yeah, unlike Gump, they set the movie back a few more decades.

There is definitely more humor in Gump, I agree. My eyes got just a little watery near the end of Button, when Daisy is taking care of him as a kid, up until the end when he dies as an infant.

[AlucardsFate]

It was Gump without the outlandish situations.

Wait...isn't that movie about a guy who starts out old then gets younger?

That's not outlandish...but the Vietnam war somehow is?

[GlassAdam]

Wait...isn't that movie about a guy who starts out old then gets younger?

That's not outlandish...but the Vietnam war somehow is?

I think you know what he means...

[KomodoAce]

Alucard is just being a bitch :O

All joking aside...

I'm talking more about the way it's presented. I get it, it's a movie. But whats more plausible, a disease or condition in which someone is born old and dies a baby, or one where some retarded guy is shaking hands with JFK, playing championship ping-pong in China and talking to John Lennon on a late night show?

Don't get me wrong, I think both movies are great, but if we're going for realism and plausibility, Benjamin Button wins easily.

YES I AM!

1.) I love Forest Gump

2.) Tom Hanks > Brad Pitt

3.) I've had a lame ass fucking day...no scratch that...a lame ass fucking week...I am pissed off and ready to lash out at anything right now...so don't take anything too personally if I say something offensive....

[KnightAttack]

I forgot how good Braveheart Was....It's been a while since I've seen it. I enjoyed it.

[KomodoAce]

YES I AM!

1.) I love Forest Gump

2.) Tom Hanks > Brad Pitt

No problem at all. I've dealt with far worse (on 1up, no less).

One place where Gump is totally superior is in the lead acting role. Pitt does a pretty good job, but Hanks' performance still blows his away.

[LadyFox]

LadyFox > Brad Pitt + Tom Hanks
Yea I said it.

[WanderingMind]

lolpluralization

I think he talked about it in his journal!

I don't have any interest in it, but good movies are always a good thing.

I also talked about Benjamin Button when Foxkei was down. I saw it around noon on Christmas day and I'm glad I picked that time because there was a huge line for the next showing.

[KomodoAce]

What'd you think of the film Wandering?

[WanderingMind]

I really liked it, even if it felt a little long. It's one of the best movies of the year.

[GlassAdam]

Benjamin Buttons haha.

I think the film could've used a MUCH better marketing campaign. All youz guyz seem to have really liked it, and then there are the comparisons to Forrest Gump (a much-beloved movie by the general public) so this probably could have been a bigger box-office draw. Most people probably haven't heard of it, which is too bad if the film is as good as you guys say. Plus the commercials I've seen haven't made it look interesting in the slightest, and in fact were kind of a turn-off.

But I trust Foxkei, so I shall see this movie on DVD!

[ReverendHobo]

I agree about the lack-luster marketing...

If anything I had a passing interest in the movie only to see if he was born as a full-grown old man... and how his mother took that.

[KnightAttack]

Anyone else want to see the new Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino? It looks bitchin'. I love Eastwood, his last few preformances have been great, as well as his directing.

Million Dollar Baby is in my top 20 favorite movies of all time.

[ReverendHobo]

I'm totally gonna go see Gran Torino. Can't wait.

[ChukoLiang]

when I went to see Valkyrie, there were about five previews before it. Every last one looked badass.

Gran Torino was one of them. Gotta watch that.

[KomodoAce]

Watched Gran Torino a few weeks ago.

It's an great movie, but it will NOT be what you expect from Eastwood, especially based on the commercials/trailers you've seen.

[KnightAttack]

Watched Gran Torino a few weeks ago.

It's an great movie, but it will NOT be what you expect from Eastwood, especially based on the commercials/trailers you've seen.

You suck.

But I mean, the trailers put him looking like some sort of super bad-ass, and in most of his later movies, he hasn't really filled that role.

The Role I saw him playing in the trailer, was the one where the kid asked
"What was it like to kill a man" and his character looked him in the eye and said "You don't wanna know."

[WanderingMind]

Speaking of which, I plan on watching all five Dirty Harry movies this summer.

[KnightAttack]

I've never seen them, so I should also do that sometime as well.....

[WanderingMind]

Almost forgot...I saw The Ox-Box Incident today and I'll be watching Hang 'Em High tomorrow if class isn't canceled due to bad weather.

[KomodoAce]

You suck.

But I mean, the trailers put him looking like some sort of super bad-ass, and in most of his later movies, he hasn't really filled that role.

The Role I saw him playing in the trailer, was the one where the kid asked
"What was it like to kill a man" and his character looked him in the eye and said "You don't wanna know."

He's still badass, but if you think it's going to be full of him pointing a 44 magnum at people and asking " are you feeling lucky punk?", you'll be sorely disappointed.

See it and we'll talk more about it.



Watched an older movie called "The Driver". Never paid attention to the games very much, but there's a part where he's trying to show some robbers that he's qualified to be a getaway driver by doing a bunch of fancy manuevers in an empty parking garage.

Reminds me of that first level in a Driver where you have to pass tests in driving.


Other than that, the movie was teh suck.

[GlassAdam]

John Wayne > Clint Eastwood

It's not even a competition.

[KomodoAce]

I haven't seen enough John Wayne movies to confirm that opinion (OOOHHH), but the Duke was definitely somebody.

I wouldn't put him on the same level of badass, but he was true to the cowboy spirit....whatever that means.

[LadyFox]

Benjamin Buttons haha.

I think the film could've used a MUCH better marketing campaign.

Yay! I'm glad. If anything, find a dollar theater and go watch it there. :)

Well, lemmie do a quick review on all the movies I've properly watched since the 26th of last month.

Bedtime Stories: Lame. I didn't like it. There were maybe 2 or 3 things in the entire movie that actually made me laugh and most of them were WTF moments. I had no intentions of seeing it in the first place, but I missed the last showing of Bolt and I had no other opportunities to use my free movie coupon.
Reccomend? No.

Step Brothers: I wasn't too impressed with this one either. I was depending on Will Ferral to give me some laughs. Once again, I can only remember 2 things that made me laugh.
Reccomend? No.

Quarantine: This movie gave me more laughs than the two comedies mentioned above, lol! I actually liked this movie. There was a decent amount of suspense which to me is scarier than a bunch of gore. I enjoyed the way it was filmed and I also thought It was cool/funny as crap when the camera guy was beating down one of the girls with his camera. LOL A grown man in front of me jumped quite a few times (which made me laugh) but at one point I jumped myself (even though I knew something was about to scare me.. sigh). I saw it coming, yet I flinched, threw up my hands, and kinda punched myself in the face. :O.. LoL
Reccomend? Yes.

Jumper: This movie hasn't even finished yet and I'm already writing my review. This movie had SOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL! I'd wanted to see it a long time ago when I saw the commercials, but it didn't seem to make any impact on my friends who'd watched it. The 'jumping' business was pretty cool, but as far as story and character development... it failed miserably. Why would you drop everything you're doing and run off to Rome with a guy you haven't seen in YEARS and thought he was dead? WTF Dumb girl. Also, what was up with his 'sister' at the end of the movie giving him the stink eye. LOL The acting was pretty medicore as well. I think they could have added a little more length to the movie and gave it more depth but they focused too much on the jumping aspect and not others. It takes a lot more than good special effects to make a good movie.
Reccomend? No.

[PSRT]

I got Step Brothers for Christmas, for some odd reason. I saw it at the drive-in over the summer, and I don't think I paid attention to as much as a quarter of it, so I'm not too eager to re-watch it. The only Will Ferral movie I really love is Anchorman.

[AmuroRay]

You guys need to watch "A Night At The Roxbury."

Will Farell is awesome in this.

[ReverendHobo]

I just saw Step Brothers...

That movie sucked.

I had a bunch of people tell me it was, "The funniest movie I've ever seen in my entire life!"
So I figured it might be good.

It had it's moments, but overall it was incredibly childish... And not in the funny way either. Imagine a middle-schooler cussing and loudly yelling out dirty euphemisms in public, in an attempt to look funny.

[KomodoAce]

Will Ferrell has played the same "man child" in movies for a while now.

As much as I loved the guy in Anchorman and Old School and especially in the little cameos he makes, the man's comedy is the same thing it's been for years now.

[WanderingMind]

The drum scene made me cringe and went too far for my tastes. Speaking of John Wayne, I'll be watching the Searchers on Thursday.

[KomodoAce]

Watched "Ip Man", a 2008 Hong Kong Martial Arts film based on the life of Bruce Lee's master.

Awesome movie, similar to Fearless, but featuring Wing Chun instead of wushu. Watch it.

[LadyFox]

I never saw Fearless... I heard it was just plain depressing. I like a good cry every now and then though... I might watch it.

As for this evening/morning. I watched:
Office Space: I'm going to have to call OverHype on that one. I was expecting SOOOOO MUCH MORE! What a let down. The printer scene was funny though but it was just kinda blah for me.
Reccomend? No.

Se7en (Seven): Now seeing as I LOVE Brad Pitt, you'd think I would have already seen this movie. I never sat down and watched it properly. I'd only ever seen the start and the very end. It was really good though. Doesn't seem like something that was made in 1995. Everything was filmed very well and I liked both Freeman and Pitt's performance. I also liked you know who's performance but he tends to be good at roles such as that. All in all, after starting the new year with a bunch of crap movies besides Button, I had to go back over a decade to end the night with a good one.
Reccomend? Yes.

[Umbrae]

I love Se7en. One of my favorite movies of all time.

[LadyFox]

i love se7en. One of my favorite movies of all time.

What's In The Box!?

[RimDot]

I watched Speed Racer again. Such an awesome movie. So pretty...

[Umbrae]

What's In The Box!?
Aha! I won't open it!

I heard Speed Racer was crap~ o.O Good visuals, but crap.

[RimDot]

Aha! I won't open it!

I heard Speed Racer was crap~ o.O Good visuals, but crap.

I don't know. I liked it. It's nothing new story wise but, it's decent. The visuals are worth it alone to watch this movie.

[ReverendHobo]

What's In The Box!?

It's a Cake with lovely flowers made with delicious frosting

EDIT: Whoops, maybe I should spoiler tag that...

[Heiae]

I LOVED Speed Racer. Such an awesome, fun movie. Sooo fun.

I loved Racer X and the epic offroad and final race.

It's not crap by any means. It's fun!

[Baberific]

Yea, especially after seeing that movie in Imax, I have to say, that final part was so mind blowing, that I was left overwhelmed and shell shocked.

But recently, I watched the first movie of the original area 88, terrific....and with a hint of old school fever.

[WanderingMind]

Watched Hang 'Em High today. Tomorrow...The Searchers.

[GlassAdam]

I got Step Brothers for Christmas, for some odd reason. I saw it at the drive-in over the summer, and I don't think I paid attention to as much as a quarter of it, so I'm not too eager to re-watch it. The only Will Ferral movie I really love is Anchorman. I don't know about you guys, but if you went into Step Brothers expecting anything more than a Talladega-style Will Farrel, than I'm not surprised you were disappointed. I knew it would be retarded, and that's why I enjoyed it as much as I did. Also, I love John C Reilly. Walk Hard is awesome.

Watched Hang 'Em High today. Tomorrow...The Searchers.
The Searchers. Such a classic, a must-see, but I don't really watch it anymore. I've seen it so many times that I can confidently skip it and watch lighter-hearted, funnier John Wayne movies (Donovan's Reef, The Quiet Man, McLintock, Rio Bravo).

[LadyFox]

It's a Cake with lovely flowers made with delicious frosting

EDIT: Whoops, maybe I should spoiler tag that...

LOL What in the world... Is it
Chocolate cake?

[KomodoAce]

I wanted to love Walk Hard, but I couldn't.

Jenna Fischer was the best part of the movie.

[WanderingMind]

You know, The Searchers is the first John Wayne movie I've watched.

[GlassAdam]

haha I clicked this thread with the intention of saying something having completely forgotten that we were (sort of) on the topic of John C Reilly. So I guess that's convenient timing. Anyway, what I was gonna say was:

Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if I should have listed the "Best Movie I Saw in 2008" as Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. I kinda forgot to consider it, but I really loved it...

[LadyFox]

haha I clicked this thread with the intention of saying something having completely forgotten that we were (sort of) on the topic of John C Reilly. So I guess that's convenient timing. Anyway, what I was gonna say was:

Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if I should have listed the "Best Movie I Saw in 2008" as Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. I kinda forgot to consider it, but I really loved it...

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: I totally forgot I even saw that movie. That's how unmemorable it was. =_=
Reccomend? No.

[KomodoAce]

I was thinking I might need to see Walk the Line, about Johnny Cash first, to enjoy this parody, but I'm a big classic rock fan and very few jokes stuck with me.

[AlucardsFate]

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: I totally forgot I even saw that movie. That's how unmemorable it was. =_=
Reccomend? No.


That's what I figured...that's why I never saw it...

[HeartlessCloud]

I LOVED Speed Racer. Such an awesome, fun movie. Sooo fun.

I loved Racer X and the epic offroad and final race.

It's not crap by any means. It's fun!I second that. It's not the greatest movie of all time, but if those are your expectations, that's on you. It's just a fun, lighthearted movie. =]

[RimDot]

You know what? I've never seen a John Wayne movie. I haven't see a Clint Eastwood movie either.

[AmuroRay]

You know what? I've never seen a John Wayne movie. I haven't see a Clint Eastwood movie either.

Whoa...watch The Good, the bad, and the ugly.

I'm right in the middle of it.

2:58 running time of pure awesome.

[KomodoAce]

You know what? I've never seen a John Wayne movie. I haven't see a Clint Eastwood movie either.

Crazy talk.

I can understand John Wayne, but Clint?

[WanderingMind]

You know what? I've never seen a John Wayne movie. I haven't see a Clint Eastwood movie either.

I highly recommend Dirty Harry if you're going to watch a Clint Eastwood movie.

[GlassAdam]

You know what? I've never seen a John Wayne movie. I haven't see a Clint Eastwood movie either.

I can understand Clint, but John Wayne? ;)

Actually, I'm sorta serious about that-- the guy was in about a million movies...

[RimDot]

The movies are just kinda old. I actually haven't seen much for the classics. You know the Casablancas and what not.

[ChukoLiang]

You know what? I've never seen a John Wayne movie. I haven't see a Clint Eastwood movie either.

I can only remember seeing one movie of either all the way through.

Outlaw Josey Wales. BADASS MOVIE! Best western ever!

According to my dad anyway. And he's seen a LOT.

[NosLived]

I just saw Pineapple Express for the first time last night. Hilarious effing movie. Apatow is a flippin' genius when it comes to dull comedy that's still hilarious.

[KomodoAce]

I can only remember seeing one movie of either all the way through.

Outlaw Josey Wales. BADASS MOVIE! Best western ever!

According to my dad anyway. And he's seen a LOT.

Personally, I have not seen the Outlaw Josey Wales, BUT there's a really badass scene which I will now present to you:

JL9HsfGJ5c4

[ReverendHobo]

I just saw Gran Torino with my dad. I really liked it, (although I wish the ending went a different direction)

I saw it at the Warren Theater... The movie was in the "Grand Auditorium" which is completely awesome. The Screen took up the entire wall, and there's a balcony in which food is served (along with alchomahol, so you have to be 21 to even go up there.)

We got there 30 minutes early and sat down, we expected it to be crowded, but it wasn't too bad...

Until about 15 minutes later, in which people started filing in by the dozens. It turned out to be sold out, which made for some interesting seating adjustments... But the audience was pretty good.

Overall it was an ausom experience.

[KomodoAce]

You were hoping that Clint went gung-ho on the gangster's asses, didn't you? I liked how he used all conceptions by the audience and used it to his advantage. I was expecting him to kill everyone and die in the process, but it went the other way and was pleasantly surprised.

[AmuroRay]

I have finally finished The Good, the bad and the ugly. Now I must find something else to watch.

[GlassAdam]

Now you should watch Donovan's Reef. Or McLintock!. These are both comedies, how can you go wrong?

[AmuroRay]

Now you should watch Donovan's Reef. Or McLintock!. These are both comedies, how can you go wrong?

I have the DVD of McLintock! I gotta watch it again.

[ReverendHobo]

You were hoping that Clint went gung-ho on the gangster's asses, didn't you? I liked how he used all conceptions by the audience and used it to his advantage. I was expecting him to kill everyone and die in the process, but it went the other way and was pleasantly surprised.

Yeah... I was.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the ending, it was very unexpected. He realized that had any of the gangsters gotten away they probably would've gotten revenge and kill the family.

But, I'm a vengeful person, I wanted some hardcore Dirty Harry'in up in this bitch.

[KomodoAce]

That would've been cool if he did it the way we expected him to, but then he wouldn't get any nominations for any awards then haha.

[GlassAdam]

I have the DVD of McLintock! I gotta watch it again.

You are my new favorite person. + rep!

EDIT: Aw, schnikeys, it won't let me add to your rep right now. :(

[ReverendHobo]

That would've been cool if he did it the way we expected him to, but then he wouldn't get any nominations for any awards then haha.

DAMN YOU AWARDS!

I didn't get to see an old man kill gang-bangers...

[KomodoAce]

true, but it was more logical for him to do it the way he did. Those suckers would've stayed behind bars for a good portion of their life. He was dying anyway.

[ReverendHobo]

Yeah... But once again, I'm a vengeful person. I demand blood for crimes!

[KomodoAce]

Haha.

All this talk about Eastwood reminds me how old he is. He could pass away very soon :(

[ReverendHobo]

Yeah...

[WanderingMind]

True....

[AmuroRay]

You are my new favorite person. + rep!

EDIT: Aw, schnikeys, it won't let me add to your rep right now. :(

Oh yeah, I get that, the "You must spread reputation before giving reputation to this person" thing.

After McLintock, perhaps I'll watch one of my fav western movies again. Tombstone.

[Baberific]

Man, I'm wondering if anyone here has seen "the proposition"..cause that was probably one of the best old west films I have ever seen....it was just so brilliantly made.

[ChukoLiang]

my brother believes tombstone is the best western ever made.

[AmuroRay]

my brother believes tombstone is the best western ever made.

If you think about it, it somewhat is, it has everything in it. Action, drama, romance, etc.

[GlassAdam]

my brother believes tombstone is the best western ever made.

And that's why I'll never appoint your brother to head up my Presidential Task Force on Wild West -Genre Movie Rankings.

[ChukoLiang]

Outlaw Josey Wales strikes me as being a more awesome movie.

[KomodoAce]

I'm your huckleberry.

[GlassAdam]

Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I believe 3:10 To Yuma deserves a good spot on the List.

[ChukoLiang]

I've never seen it...

[LadyFox]

I haven't seen it either. :\

[AmuroRay]

3:10 To Yuma, oh yeah, I'll probably buy that.

[ReverendHobo]

Just watched SecondHand Lions with my folks...

It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

[Heiae]

Just watched SecondHand Lions with my folks...

It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

Absolutely. That was one of the first movies I ever, in my entire life, teared up on.

[GlassAdam]

Second Hand Lions? Doesn't that have that one kid in it? Y'know, that kid that's really annoying?

[KomodoAce]

The Sixth Sense kid/Sora voice actor?

[ReverendHobo]

Yeah, but he's not that annoying in this movie.

[Baberific]

yea, haley jole osment was pretty cool in that film. But besides that, both Robert Duval and Micheal Caine rocked in that movie.

lion as a pet???oh hell yes!!

[GlassAdam]

I just watched Death Race and the new Indiana Jones. Death Race was exactly what you would expect, so not much to write there. Indy, on the other hand... Nuking the fridge was ridiculous, but even worse than that was the vine-swinging. It's like this movie was a joke, a parody of what made Indiana Jones movies so beloved. It's like the writers said, "Hey dudes, remember the mine cart ride? We need 17 scenes like that in this movie, and we need to crank them all up to 11!!!!!!!!"

[KomodoAce]

It would've been better if Sean Connery had reprised his role as Indy's father.

He probably read the script and said "fuck it".

But I still found it to be entertaining. Better than Temple of Doom imo.

[Heiae]

Indy Movie Rankings:

Raiders > Last Crusade > Anything else

'Cause Temple of Doom is lame and Crystal Skull is worse.

[WanderingMind]

Raiders is my favorite movie of all time.

Watched The Swimmer today.

[AmuroRay]

I'm currently watching Pineapple Express.

Funny stuff, it's actually not that dumb like Harold & Kumar.

[Baberific]

Well, since my on demand has free sundance channel movies, I've decided to watch old boy, A film I've been meaning to see....and so far, hoho, GRAPHIC!!

[RimDot]

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro.

First Lupin III anything I've seen. I can see where Shinichiro Watanabe got his influence for Cowboy Bebop. I liked it very much.

[Heiae]

Lupin rocks so hard. I love the old TV series and all of the movies.

[WanderingMind]

Saw Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) on Wednesday and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner yesterday.

[KomodoAce]

Watched "Twilight Samurai".

It stars Hiroyuki Sanada, otherwise known as the "badass guy who kicks Tom Cruise's ass in Last Samurai".

This movie only has two duels, so don't expect an action-filled movie, but it is an excellent look at the life of a samurai.

I highly recommend it.

[ReverendHobo]

Me and my Mother saw Marley and Me earlier today.

I thought it was pretty good, it was pretty funny.

But, the movie was stopped twice. The first time the film slipped (I guess) and the bottom of the film was at the top of the screen, and vice versa, it took them about 15 minutes to fix it (Someone said the film was tangled or something)
It went fine for about 15 or so minutes, when suddenly the film started listing to the left, and then a big ol' cigarette burn melted it.

Took them about 10 minutes to get it started again.

[HeartlessCloud]

Indy Movie Rankings:

'Cause Temple of Doom is lame and Crystal Skull is worse.I agree. Man, Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull were awful.

I've always wanted that type of generic movie catastrophe to happen...but alas, I saw oldboy, which freaking ROCKED!!!!

And now, or later on today, I shall view a guide to knowing your saints.

[Marioarm2]

I just went and saw My Bloody Valentine in 3D. It was pretty good. It's uncommon to see 3D movies, so it was nice to actually find one for a change!

[GlassAdam]

The thing I worry about with these 3D movies is that they'll try to shoehorn in as many "things flying toward the screen" shots as possible, whether or not they make any sense...

[ReverendHobo]

I always hated those Gimmick shots.

[WanderingMind]

Watched A Fistful of Dynamite on TV. I liked it except for the somewhat trippy soundtrack.

[Baberific]

Watched A Fistful of Dynamite on TV. I liked it except for the somewhat trippy soundtrack.

I'm guessing you were on AMC????

Cause that's where I re watched the goods, the bad, and the ugly.

[Heiae]

Crap. I wanted to watch A Fistful of Dynamite. I saw the commercial for it on AMC and I was like "LOOK AT THAT GUY! LOOK AT THAT CRAP HE'S BLOWING UP!"

[WanderingMind]

I'm guessing you were on AMC????

Cause that's where I re watched the goods, the bad, and the ugly.

You guessed it.

[Baberific]

you know what, there's about an hour left of the film for me...I guess I watch the rest.

[GlassAdam]

Another good movie worth watching: Cold Mountain. That stuff was great. Not really a cowboy movie, but this talk of cowboy movies made me think of it.

[Baberific]

another sundance movie that I am near finishing is murderball...cause boy, those paraplegics are freaking beastly!!!

[KomodoAce]

Death Race.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Statham is still badass.

[RimDot]

Death Race.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Statham is still badass.

It was still bad. Statham is pretty damn cool.

I watched Once upon a time in China. Maybe it was the poor translation or it really was not that great of a movie. Still had some pretty neat fight scenes with Jet Li.

[RedWizard]

Has anybody seen Taken or Gran Turino? I want to see them both, but I don't want to waste my money if they aren't that good.

[Heiae]

Taken looks badass. Makes me feel all good.. seeing someone come after those who did wrong and DESTROY THEM.

Now if only I could do that with those thieves..

[KomodoAce]

Taken is like a less shitty camera version of the Bourne movies. Liam Neeson makes it his own.

Gran Torino is great too, but if you're looking for action, Taken is the way to go.

Rimdot, if you really want to see some top-class old school kung fu flicks, check out Heroes of the East (China vs Japan, freaking ninja epic fight at the end), and the 36th Chamber of Shaolin (if you're into Shaolin monks kicking ass).

[WanderingMind]

Watched M today, a German film about a bunch of people looking for a child murderer and trying to bring him to justice.

[Heiae]

The Bourne movies are awesome, regardless of weird shaky cam. The only time it was bad was in some parts of Supremacy.

I think it's just fun to nitpick.

[KomodoAce]

I agree, Supremacy was the worst movie of the three, but Ultimatum used the shaky thing sparingly and for that, coupled with the excellent fight scenes, make it my favorite of the three.

[Heiae]

Oh man, Ultimatum was so awesome. I should watch it again soon.

[AlucardsFate]

I'm behind....I just last night watched Quantum Of Solace!

Not as good as the previous film...but still good.

And certain people make it better...bwahahahaha!

[RimDot]

...I love the camera work in the bourne movies...

You wanna hear something crazy? I haven't seen Quantum Of Solace yet.

[KomodoAce]

I'm behind....I just last night watched Quantum Of Solace!

Olga Kurylenko is so damn beautiful.

[AmuroRay]

...I love the camera work in the bourne movies...

You wanna hear something crazy? I haven't seen Quantum Of Solace yet.

That fine, IMO it's one of those bond films that you don't have to see when it comes out. Only thing I think is good in that movie is Olga....The end.

[RedWizard]

I haven't seen a Bond movie since The World is Not Enough. Meh.

[Baberific]

I thought that it was odd that olga had that ugly scar on her back....nevertheless....the movie was a slight disappointment to me.

[WanderingMind]

At least it was better than Die Another Day.

Anyway, I watched The Maltese Falcon today. It's a great movie and you should check it out when you get the chance if you haven't done so already.

[GlassAdam]

Last night I watched Max Payne. Not as bad as I was expecting. I'm a Wahlberg fan, though. Also, he was less Mark Walhlberg-y than usual, if that makes any sense.

[AmuroRay]

Last night I watched Max Payne. Not as bad as I was expecting. I'm a Wahlberg fan, though. Also, he was less Mark Walhlberg-y than usual, if that makes any sense.

My favorite Wahlberg movie.....The Happening. Funny ass movie.
lt5e5axzKBA

[Heiae]

The Happening was a terrible, terrible movie.

[KomodoAce]

I thought that it was odd that olga had that ugly scar on her back....nevertheless....the movie was a slight disappointment to me.

They explained it in the movie. When Bond is asking her stuff in a cave.

And I don't know what you're talking about, The Happening was incredible.
















Incredibly funny hahaha. I loved the part where John Leguizamo is in the Jeep and they see the wind blowing. Suddenly he looks up and the camera does a close up of a tear in the canvas roof of the Jeep. So funny.

Another good part is when that crazy old lady decides to give them shelter and she appears out of nowhere on the guest house steps, asking Marky Mark if he's trying to steal something. He says with the goofiest expression, "what? NO!"

[Robobvious]

Watched In the Valley of Elah last night, didn't get all of it, the subtext is like trying to understand cowboy talk, that was my problem with No Country For Old Men, too much cowboy talk, and you get to the end and expect him to go hunt the guy down but no, cowboy talk... credits.

[GlassAdam]

I just watched Burn After Reading. Fucking brilliant! A damn funny movie, with some of the best writing I've seen recently.

[KomodoAce]

I've only seen No Country for Old Men, so my opinion might be misinformed, but I don't get Coen bros. films.

And the majority of people I've talked to who saw Burn after Reading thought it was just "bleh".

[Robobvious]

What's with the religulous in Max Payne? I don't remember that from the game at all. Although I only played part of it once.

[Fedaykin]

Watched Valkyrie the other day. I'd give it an 8/10. Pretty good movie, solid performance by WhackJob Cruise. His role in Trophic Thunder is still the best though.

[RimDot]

I didn't like Burn After Reading. It reminded me of Wes Anderson's movies. I don't like Wes Anderson. I did really like O' Brother Where Out Thou. That was a great movie... That was the Coen bros, right?

[KomodoAce]

Yeah, O Brother was a Coen film.

And Robo, there's no "religious" stuff in the Max Payne games, although there are a few references to Satanism.

[Hero_X]

paprika and pineapple express.

sweet

[GlassAdam]

I've only seen No Country for Old Men, so my opinion might be misinformed, but I don't get Coen bros. films.

And the majority of people I've talked to who saw Burn after Reading thought it was just "bleh".Well, I hated No Country, and I normally like Coen Bros movies. So there ya go. This movie, though, appealed to my sense of humor almost perfectly, as did O Brother and The Big Lebowski.

I didn't like Burn After Reading. It reminded me of Wes Anderson's movies. I don't like Wes Anderson. I did really like O' Brother Where Out Thou. That was a great movie... That was the Coen bros, right?
What? BLASPHEMY!!!! Haha Anderson is my all-time favorite, as if that wasn't obvious...

[WanderingMind]

Watched Chinatown, a great movie with a memorable ending.

[LadyFox]

I haven't been reading this thread. I checked back about 3 pages though and saw nothing about it, so here I go!

Slumdog Millionaire: This was by far, one of the best movies I've watched. I knew nothing about it whatsoever before I started watching it so I don't want to say too much about it. It's about an 18 year old young Indian boy who wins who wants to be a Millionaire. He's undeducated though and came from the slums, so the point of the movie is to explain how he wins. It was really, really, really good. I think it's still in theaters... I might go watch it on the big screen this time... >.> It's very interesting, mild action, a non-corny love story, humour and even dancing. Well worth the $10 theater price.
Reccomend? YES YES YES!

[GlassAdam]

Okay, tonight I watched Baby Mama, that movie starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Surprisingly good. I mean, I figured it would be funny, but it actually exceeded my expectations. It's sort of a chick-flick, I suppose, but I recommend it for anyone.

[RedWizard]

Big Trouble in Little China. Funniest movie I've seen in some time.

[Hero_X]

http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/783116/mutant-chronicles/videos/mutantchronicles_redband_trailer_012209.html

gonna watch that tonight

[WanderingMind]

Big Trouble in Little China. Funniest movie I've seen in some time.

I love that movie.

[AlucardsFate]

I love that movie.

That movie is stupid....

Someone had me watch it...cause they liked it...

Ugh...

[KomodoAce]

That makes me curious, what kind of movies are you into Alucard?

[ChukoLiang]

lame ones.

[Fedaykin]

Hmm never watched Big trouble in Little China..

[AlucardsFate]

That makes me curious, what kind of movies are you into Alucard?

Well I'm incredibly picky...

I like Star Wars....I watch Bond Movies...

I don't watch a lot of dramas...

I typically enjoy (good) comedy though...as just like with anime...I value an ability to make me laugh....

[KomodoAce]

Do you like any bad movies because they're bad?

In other words, any movies you enjoy that are so bad, they're good?

[AlucardsFate]

Do you like any bad movies because they're bad?

In other words, any movies you enjoy that are so bad, they're good?

Oh yeah...absolutely...

I frequently see odd movies on TV because they are bad...

I've seen my share of Steven Segal....

[KomodoAce]

YES!

And I was just curious Alucard, everyone likes their own kind of movie. No judging on my part.

[Fedaykin]

I'm watching Ghost Town right now. Has anyone seen it?

[GlassAdam]

YES!

And I was just curious Alucard, everyone likes their own kind of movie. No judging on my part.

On the other hand, Alucards, I was judging you... On a pass/fail system, no less. You passed.

[RimDot]

I'm watching Ghost Town right now. Has anyone seen it?

I need to rent that. It looks good.

[Fedaykin]

I need to rent that. It looks good.

It's really funny so far. I'm half way trough.

[AlucardsFate]

On the other hand, Alucards, I was judging you... On a pass/fail system, no less. You passed.

I judge your judgment...

I approve....

http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/the-horsemen/trailer

[RimDot]

Well, let's see...

I tried to watch Appleseed Ex Machina but, it was too bloody stupid!

Then I watched Perfect Blue. CraAazy film.

Then Life of Brian. Pure Fucking Brilliance! Have you ever laughed so hard that you felt like you were going to suffocate? I have.

[AmuroRay]

Then I watched Perfect Blue. CraAazy film.


That's something, I too skimmed through that film, to see what it's about. After skimming through it, I too thought it was Crazy, and very weird.

[Heiae]

Perfect Blue affected me in ways I didn't expect. I don't think I'll ever watch it again.

[AlucardsFate]

Perfect Blue affected me in ways I didn't expect. I don't think I'll ever watch it again.

That is a weird one...boy howdy it is...

[Robobvious]

Just watched Saw V last night, some pretty decent traps in this one, know what I didn't like though? No one says "Game Over" at the end. Although, the games are just beginning.

I need to pick up Resident Evil Degeneration next time I go to the mall.

I din't like the last Saw film at all actually.

[GlassAdam]

Perfect Blue was... I dunno. I, too, will probably never watch it again. It just wasn't that good watchable.

[SnakeEyez]

Now I'm curious. I've never heard of Perfect Blue before. What's it about?

[GlassAdam]

I can't even remember. Something about a Japanese chick who sings in some pop band. And there's murder and stuff. I remember the blurb on the box mentioned "Disney meets Hitchcock" or something like that. It wasn't accurate, in my honest opinion.

[ChukoLiang]

No one says "Game Over" at the end.

GAME OVER YEAAAAAH!

HAhahahha.

[AlucardsFate]

Now I'm curious. I've never heard of Perfect Blue before. What's it about?

It's about a Japanese woman who sings in a pop band called "Cham!"

That is...until she decides to move on and try other things like acting....

One of her more...obsessive fans doesn't like this...

That's all I shall say...

Psychological horror is what I would call it...

[SnakeEyez]

I might have to look for it then. Sounds interesting.

Anyway, I just watched The Wrestler. As expected, it was excellent. Glad I got the chance to see it.

[KomodoAce]

If Rourke doesn't get the Best Actor Oscar, something's going to get destroyed.

Truly amazing turn around for him. And the movie really makes you appreciate the hard work wrestlers put into their "fake" sport.

Such a physical role. What'd you think of Marisa Tomei?

Rourke and Tomei were both great. They had good chemistry. They were both nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, right? Hell, they deserve it.

You know who really impressed me, though? The girl who played Rourke's daughter. Who was she? I didn't catch her name in the credits, and I thought she was outstanding. I'm sure I could just as easily look her up on imdb.com, but...eh.

So I should see this Brian? (Seems based on Jake "The Snake" Roberts)

It's selective engagement...only one theater in town is playing it...a small independent art theater in Englewood...The Mayan...I'm not fond of that neighborhood...

[KomodoAce]

Evan Rachel Wood.

She was great too. The only part where I teared up a little (MANLY TEARS!!) was when The Ram and his daughter were on the beach and he was telling her how he was sorry for all the shit he's done in the past.

Watered up just a tiny bit there.

Oh...Perfect Blue is directed by Satoshi Kon. He also did Paranoia Agent, Tokyo Godfathers, and Paprika. If you know anything about him, he likes to mess with people's minds.

Yep, I teared up a bit in that scene too. Sorry 'bout the post editing, but I don't want to spoil anything for Alucard.

Yes, Alucard, you need to see this movie. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

[GlassAdam]

Haha "Cham!" What does that mean? Sounds dirty...

[Fedaykin]

Just watched the Cowboy Bebop movie again. It still doesn't FEEL like Cowboy Bebop to me. At least not completely, it's like there's something missing. Plus I don't like the soundtrack. But still a great movie, just not on par with the series. But then again nothing is(And if you say otherwise I will smite you down with my gigantic phallus.....-like weapon).

[Heiae]

I think the Cowboy Bebop is plenty Beboppy. It feels like it's a great episode of the series, just extended. But, hey, whatever.

I watched Superman Returns again. I still don't like it too much, but I enjoyed it much more than I did the first time.

[RimDot]

I love the Bebop movie soundtrack. It was just more Cowboy Bebop music. The only one that didn't quite fit was Ask DNA but, I love that song so it's alright.

I'm with Heiae, the movie just felt like an extended episode. The different feel that your talking about is most likely the way the movie was made. The series was made in 98' and the movie was made in 01'. There were some huge technical leaps in those few years.

Hmm I guess your right. As for the soundtrack I guess I got so used to the original it felt weird or something. It's probably cuz both times I've seen the movie I watched the series just beforehand. next time I see it I'll do it by itself, maybe I'll enjoy it more. But these are small musings the movie is awesome.

I just watched 27 Dresses. It was exactly what you'd expect. Funny at parts. Yep.

[Heiae]

I watched the classic Time Machine film. It was pretty damn good. I liked the new one a decent amount (it wasn't AMAZING, but I enjoyed it), but I think the old one is better.

[GlassAdam]

I meant to watch the newer Time Machine movie. Someday I'll have to rent it.

[Heiae]

It's pretty neat. I want to watch it again now.

That movie is awesome, despite the not so awesome visual effects. It was WAY better than the remake....

[RedWizard]

I'd say its almost a law that the originals are better than the remakes.

Versus. Zombies, explosions, guns and samurai. How can you go wrong?

[Heiae]

I love Versus. It's so awesome. Insanely shallow, but the action is so good.

And sometimes THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.

[RimDot]

It's so low budget. It kinda reminds me of El Mariachi in that way. The actors were very good for so low of a budget.

[Heiae]

Yeah, it is low budget. But I've gotten used to that kind of deal.

I hear it's getting a sequel. Or at least it was. I can't remember well.

I liked the Señor Spielbergo version of War of the Worlds better than the old one.
