Which Good Movie Have You Seen Recently?

holy crap, 2 green bars by your name with 42 posts!, please show what your rep is saying, I am guessing it is a lot of "omg you are hot"

Hehe, most of the reps I received were actually more intelligent comments instead of "OMG you are hot". I pasted the last few reps below. See, not too bad. ;)
By the way Ignot, reps to you when I can for making me laugh.

People who are new to the board now can get boosted up to 2 bars very fast... and being a chick helps.

I know they aren't new, but some people might have not seen them. I just went to Best Buy the other day and bought a few movies I haven't seen in a while. All pretty good, add them to your Netflix list:

-Brazil
-Pi
-Dark City
-Boiler Room (I cant believe I like a Vin Diesel move, he's actually good in it)
-The Jerk ( Already had it, but watched the damn thing so many times it stopped working. In my opinion, the best comedy EVAR.)


Bourne Identity and Supremacy on the train this morning

Haven't read any of the books by the new author, but the Bourne series ranks right up there with Die Hard when it comes to action movies. Let's hope they make the next four and they turn out as good as the last three.

1. The Bourne Legacy - (2004)
2. The Bourne Betrayal - (2007)
3. The Bourne Sanction - (2008)
4. The Bourne Deception - (2009)

*my opinion.

[TheLastShamurai]

I just saw Peter Pan from 03 and it was great! I don't want to grow up now!

dude, there was no rufio. totally ruined it for me.

[TheLastShamurai]

the next four...

there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

are they just going to skip the story and just show dude kicking ass? i might watch that.

[LMingrone]

True. Could (probably would) pull a Star Wars. I would still like to see them made just for the chance they might be good.

And I am complete fail for using Die Hard as an example. The last one sucked hard.

Great taste in movies by the way! I haven't seen Brazil, but the others are excellent. Have you ever seen Requiem for a Dream? Now that is an amazing movie as well. Another great one I loved was 21 Grams.

Yeah, I have Requiem. The mother ( can't remember her name ) should have won an Oscar for the refrigerator scene. Movie seems to be trying to be too hardcore at times though. The last five minutes are nuts. Not in my list of favorites, but i've watched it a lot, so I must like it.

Edit: See Brazil!!!!! It's great. Confusing, but great.

[TheLastShamurai]

21 grams was such a let down for me. the first thirty seconds or so when they are talking about how people loose 21 grams when they die totally got me hyped up for some crazy movie involving people dieing, then the movie had nothing to do with that shit.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a let down lol. I love the way it can take various plotlines and such and bring them together. An interesting movie I saw not that long ago was Vantage Point. It's really more of a rollercoater ride than a movie hehe. It rewinds over and over and plays the same scenes from different vantage points before bringing everything together. 21 Grams appealed to me because of the "style" of the film.

Darren Aronofsky makes some insane movies. I still have no clue what the hell was going on in The Fountain. He seems a little bit like David Lynch.

Yeah, The Fountain was an excellent movie, but it was way beyond my comprehension. I was so confused both times I watched it.

[TheLastShamurai]

Yeah, The Fountain was an excellent movie, but it was way beyond my comprehension. I was so confused both times I watched it.

i read the summary of the fountain (after watching it) which made the movie make sense to me.

basically, its about three different dudes at three different points in time. the back and forth motion and crossing over of the story line is what makes it confusing. but if you seperate the three of them it kinda makes sense.

one dude is looking for the grail.

one dude is trying to save his wife.

and the third dude is traveling through space in a bubble trying to save a fucking tree. yup. a tree. in space. in a bubble.

[LMingrone]

Damn, that makes it even more confusing!

Hey although I am not responding to everything, I like this thread because it helps me pick out movies on Netflix...

(mainly because my gf picks out horrible movies, mainly horror, which 90% of the time suck")

[Androidpk]

Gran Torino and Taken were both pretty good I thought.

[LMingrone]

Most people have seen "American Gangster". Watch "Hoodlum" and then AG. Good combo.

I watched Sex Drive last night. Pretty funny movie, glad I watched it.

Saw Taken tonight, and it was pretty awesome.

[Allereli]

I loved Wall-E until my headache put me back to sleep. I'll watch the rest later.

[Victor Mancini]

I wanted Airplane! but without the airplanes. So I DL'd Kentucky Fried Movie. Haven't seen that in ages. Very funny!

Rex Kramer: Danger Seeker. Hahahahaha!
Appeal For the Dead: Hahahahaha!

Youtube those two clips to get an idea of the movie.

Anyone else seen KFMovie? I think it was Jon Landis's first movie. He went on to do Animal House and Am. Werewolf and others.

[Skeeter]

KF Movie is great.

I watched Charlie Wilson's War last night. I thought it was excellent, but I had really low expectations going in.

[thefarmer]

Watched Hotel for dogs with the wife and daughter.

Pretty good movie, especially if you like dogs.

The preview for Night at the Museum 2 seemed good. The life action Dragonball:Evolution looked like rank asshole.

Just got finished watching Quarantine and while I found it to be pretty predictable, I enjoyed it alot.

[Warriorbird]

Rambo.

[Killer Kitten]

I was up half the night watching that ultlimate chick flick Titanic.

My husband woke up at one point, glanced at the TV, then at the clock and mumbled, "The boat sinks, now get some sleep."

[Sweets]

Gone with the Wind. I've seen umpteen times and still adore it. My husband got sucked into this time as well. He tried very hard not to look interested but ended up just giving in. Great Flick.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Too funny.

NSFW language.

I finally saw Role Models. Paul Rudd and Seann Willian Scott are hilarious together -- I imagine we'll see that duo again.

[Allereli]

Adventureland

[Asha]

Event Horizon.
I watch it roughly twice a month.

[Methais]

I watched Bruce Almighty for the first time the other day. It wasn't nearly as funny as I hoped it would be, but it wasn't bad either I guess.

[Dwarven Empath]

Taken was pretty good.

[Mtenda]

I just saw Hamburger: The Motion Picture for the first time ever. How I grew up in the 80's and never heard of this I don't know. I LOLed.

[Drisco]

I watched Chicago last night. It's still a classic.

I feel as though Sweeny Todd > Chicago.

I like sweeny todd's music better.

[Drisco]

I don't care how bad this sounds.

I'm an emotional wreck right now.

I just watched Marley and Me.

Wow.

[StrayRogue]

Great sad funny film.

Caught the last hour of Doomsday, after seeing bits and pieces over the past month or two.

Up

It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. Funny, too.

[Androidpk]

The Polar Express. My 2 year old is in love with this movie and wants to watch it non stop. It's gotten to the point where I've pretty much memorized every line in the movie.

[Mikalmas]

Grey Gardens, and the follow up documentary "The Beales of Grey Gardens." I've become absolutely obsessed with these movies. So much so that my masters thesis (psychology) is going to be n the Beales and the films.

[Fallen]

In order of enjoyment, Terminator, Star Trek, Wolverine.

[Warriorbird]

Up!

Does it have to be new?

Kung Fu Panda is where it's at.

It makes me want to learn how to karate chop and eat eggrolls and schtuff.

Moliere

It's in French with subtitles, but it was absolutely hysterical at times. Highly recommended. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796335/

[4a6c1]

Gretchen, I have House repeats on perpetual record in my TiVo. I just saw that episode in your sig and laughed my ass off.

I remember when House first came out, it was mostly brilliant doctor stuff. Now all the episodes are emotional and him having overdose meltdowns. Some are cool, like when he hallucinates Amber. But some of them freak me out and arent even medically interesting. I'm not sure what season they are, my TiVo doesnt tell me that. :-/

My favs so far have been with the creepy cop giving him tickets and being mean. And when the cop tripped his cane on the first one, that was just hilarious.

Glad you enjoy! I heard the line and immediately had to put it in my sig.

One of my favorites has to be the episode with Dave Matthews, since both he and Hugh Laurie really do play piano and I loved how Dave Matthews threw so much of himself into the role.

Caught Way of the Gun while flipping around the other day. Love that movie.

[4a6c1]

I just saw What Happens in Vegas. I had to muffle my LOL because the baby is sleeping. Funny as hell.

[Back]

He’s not that into you. Pretty cast, pretty funny.

The Other Boyclyn Girl or whatever. I like these period pieces. Maybe a past life thing...

The Spirit. Not bad considering the cast.

[DCSL]

Are you shitting me? The Spirit didn't have a single likable or at least sympathetic character in the entire thing. Also, for all that I love him, I don't think Frank Miller should direct alone without a little more guidance. He just doesn't know when to stop, always has to go at least a little over the top. I barely made it through the whole movie.

[DCSL]

Oh yeah, and Up! That thing was the cutest little film. My boyfriend cried even while we were on the way home. XD And he doesn't cry easily. I mean, more easily than I do at movies, but he's got a weak spot for um.. the sad part in there. Don't want to give too much away.

Also, I never wanted a Golden Retriever before that movie, but if I could find one like Doug, I'd take it home. "But it's a TALKING DOG!"

[ViridianAsp]

I went to see Terminator Salvation... I liked it... Yeah, that's right.


Edited to add: The spirit was crap I was so disappointed.

I still liked Sam Jackson in it though. The part where he as dressed up like a retro nazi was classic.

And yeah, I liked Terminator.

[DCSL]

I'm a huge fan of Mr. Anger Management, Christian Bale, but I really think Sam Worthington stole the movie in Salvation. I gather from aintitcool.com that Sam's going to play Perseus in the new Clash of the Titans remake.

Watched Once yesterday. Good movie, good story, really good music. Not a great movie but definitely worth adding to the Netflix.

[Goretawn]

Not reading the entire thread, but some classic comedies:

PCU - College Funny
Army of Darkness - This is my BOOM STICK!!!!
Old School - Just too funny
Wild Hogs - I think the movie is about me sometimes

Saw Terminator and was not impressed really, and I am a sci-fi freak. Maybe I just need to see it again.

[NocturnalRob]

My boyfriend cried even while we were on the way home.
just needed to point out the fact that your boyfriend is crying over an animated film...

also, La Haine. It's a french film, so if you don't speak french (or hate subtitles), don't bother. But it's incredibly powerful, and I enjoy it each time I see it.

[Allereli]

PCU - College Funny

I love PCU, but at the same time, the movie is so glaringly inaccurate because its major plotline is based on the CT blue law about selling alcohol after 8 pm. 1. Port Chester is NOT in Connecticut, it's the first town in New York over the border. 2. We go to Port Chester to get booze after 8 pm.

I know, it's just a movie, but that part gets to me more than Home Alone 2's NYC geography where Kevin runs uptown, downtown and crosstown in two minutes, in the winter, without getting tired.

[Androidpk]

PCU is such a great college movie.

[TheEschaton]

THe Hangover. Go see it. Fucking hilarious.

Gawd. And that was one of my beefs with Salvation. There were something like three or four terminator-crawls-and-grabs-human-foot scenes, a bunch of stolen lines from the first two movies, factory fights, mimicked camera angles, et cetera. There's homage and then there's the point where it becomes a mishmash of the previous movies bringing very little of value of its own.

Among my friends, though, I was the only one who seemed to think it was over the top.

[LMingrone]

I found the Mr. Wizard collection in the ghetto bin at Walmart today. This is the greatest thing ever. Mr. Wizard owns Mr. Rogers.

Also found a 20 movie Alfred Hitchcock collection for $1.

Terminator salvation was the first in the series that wasn't just a repeat of the same plot. Terminator 1-3 might as well have been the same movie, just swap out the actors.

[Goretawn]

I watched The Spirit the other night with absolutely no expectations after hearing it get bashed in this thread. I have to say, I laughed my ass off. It was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while.

It wasn't great, but it held my attention and had some neat looking, though completely implausible effects.

Yeah it's pretty awesome. Just be aware that they LOVE to let you stream season 1, maybe season 2 of something. And then not the next season or two. It's a pain in the ass. But they change around what you can stream every so often, so you can wait some stuff out (maybe).

And as for the docs, you mean Blue Planet right? I think he narrates them. Even if that's not what you mean, you need, NEED to stream The Blue Planet's volume with "The Deep" on it. The icon is an angler fish, so kinda hard to miss. Anyway, it's fucking awesome.

[Nilandia]

Coraline had nothing to do with Tim Burton.
Hm. Maybe I'm misremembering then.

lol I think I've seen the octopus version only once or twice. I'll have to pick up the DVD next time I see it for $5 and listen to the commentary

[LMingrone]

I still have my Goonies VHS from the first time it aired on TV. The commercials are the best part of the recording. The 80's were messed up.

Edit: If anyone cares Walmart has an awesome DVD in their $5 bin. 350 episodes of cartoons. Danger Mouse, Superman, Casper, Popeye, Felix the Cat..and a ton more. Fun watching them with kids that are my age now, when I watched them as a kid.

[RSR]

Hm. Maybe I'm misremembering then.

Coraline is directed by the director of both James and The Giant Peach and Nightmare Before Christmas, so yes, it has a Tim Burton connection.

-Richard.

[Lumi]

Coraline was freakin' sweet.

Public Enemies, Ice Age III, Taking of Pelham 123, and Year One were all very enjoyable movies.

Year One in particular reminded me of History of the World Part I. (Side note: anyone else ever mistake Hank Azaria for Jeremy Irons?)

Also, because my girlfriend had somehow never seen it, we Netflix'ed Real Genius a couple nights ago. That movie is 80s-awesome-incarnate.

[Androidpk]

Yet Tim Burton still had nothing to do with the movie.

[CrystalTears]

Or how about make it a Neil Gaiman connection instead, which is what it is.

[NocturnalRob]

we Netflix'ed Real Genius a couple nights ago.
that fucking movie has been in my blockbuster queue for over 6 months. blockbuster sucks my nads.

[diethx]

Despite who directed it, I actually meant the story itself. Wasn't it based on a book?

[Androidpk]

Based off Neil Gaiman's novel of the same title.

[StrayRogue]

Tim Burton having much to do with NBXmas is a total fallacy. He didn't direct it. Didn't have much to do with it beyond the script and a few of the designs.

He, again, had nothing to do with Coraline.

[Allereli]

Didn't have much to do with it beyond the script and a few of the designs.

I think writing the script is pretty important

[StrayRogue]

I think writing the script is pretty important

Not really for a musical.

[Androidpk]

He wrote the script based off a poem that HE wrote. It was HIS idea.

[StrayRogue]

He didn't write the script at all.

You guys need to add the first season of Man v. Food to your instant queue. I just learned about this show a few days back and i'm in love. And often hungry. The host Adam is a total dork, and I think he's great. But there's no question - it's all about the food.

[LMingrone]

Yeah, I kinda like Man v. Food. I'll have to add it. Hell's kitchen for the win.

So after reading this whole thread, I've got a partial greatest-movies list:

40 Year Old Virgin, American Beauty, Army of Darkness, Children of Men, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Happy Go Lucky, Hot Fuzz, Into the Wild, Shaun of the Dead, Shoot ‘Em Up, Sin City, Stranger Than Fiction, Superbad, Waking Life, Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

I'm sure I'll think of more later.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I saw Funny People today.. I know some people were annoyed that it wasn't like, outright stupid/crazy comedy but I laughed a lot. Dark humor/situational humor, but I liked the whole story and the fact that nothing was over the top and unbelievable.

[Tisket]

I got "Waking Ned Devine" in a box of junk I bought at a yard sale.

Awesome fucking movie.

[Bobrobertbobson]

Has anyone seen The Last Dragon? A self described "motown kung fu" movie. High-larious.

[AnticorRifling]

Has anyone seen The Last Dragon? A self described "motown kung fu" movie. High-larious. Classic. I've got it on DVD. My brother and I had it on VHS growing up, we watched it so much I think I could still do a word for word of it.

[Celephais]

I got "Waking Ned Devine" in a box of junk I bought at a yard sale.

Awesome fucking movie.
Hah, yeah that movie is awesome. Been a while since I've watched it, may have to re-up on it.

[AnticorRifling]

I went and saw Transformers last night, I enjoyed it. Wasn't the best movie of all time but it was good.

I'm such a bitch though, even though it's a movie (any movie not just this one) I tense up whenever I see caskets coming off a plane.

[Lord Orbstar]

Sho'nuff

Sho'nuff

Who's the meanest mofo low down around this town??

[StrayRogue]

The Moon.

Great little film.

[DCSL]

Brotherhood of the Wolf. The French are odd but, occasionally, they put something great out there.

[Androidpk]

Brotherhood of the Wolf. The French are odd but, occasionally, they put something great out there.

First time seeing it? Did you watch it with subtitles? I love this movie :D

[TheLastShamurai]

The Moon.

Great little film.

Did this go straight to DVD or something? I saw a preview for it a while ago but never saw it listed in the theatres here.

[StrayRogue]

At cinemas now.

[TheLastShamurai]

At cinemas now.

:(:(:( Not listed at mine.

[StrayRogue]

Its very small. Try smaller more independent theatres.

[DCSL]

First time seeing it? Did you watch it with subtitles? I love this movie :D

Nah, I just haven't watched it again in a lil' over a year now. And yeah, with subtitles. I've never even tried it dubbed. I can't imagine what that would sound like.

[Androidpk]

Nah, I just haven't watched it again in a lil' over a year now. And yeah, with subtitles. I've never even tried it dubbed. I can't imagine what that would sound like.

Dubbed version is horrible, couldn't even watch more then 10 minutes without switching back to subs.

[Stunseed]

Brotherhood of the Wolf. The French are odd but, occasionally, they put something great out there.

One of my favorites, as well. Holy bone-chain-sword, Batman! :)

[MrTastyHead]

On that note, I'm watching the original 1966 Batman. Fantastically bad.

[Donquix]

On that note, I'm watching the original 1966 Batman. Fantastically bad.

Shark repellent + the scene with the bomb is almost too much awesome for one movie to handle.

I have that movie on betamax.

Yeah, you fucking heard me. BETAMAX

[4a6c1]

Ok so first movie I have been able to make it through, in one sitting, in a long time and it was a LONG ONE.

On the Beach.

Black and white, post-apocalypic with Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire.

No FX, No shock 'n awe. Just a good story with great actors.

[iJin]

Let The Right One In. Watching it over to savor the awesomeness before USA ruins it with a remake, starting with a whole new title. Bastard Americans, can't leave good Swedish films alone. :(

[Warriorbird]

District 9.

[TheLastShamurai]

District 9.

Yeah, it was pimp.

[StrayRogue]

Let The Right One In. Watching it over to savor the awesomeness before USA ruins it with a remake, starting with a whole new title. Bastard Americans, can't leave good Swedish films alone. :(

Or any foreign horror movie.

Absolutely.

Or any foreign horror movie.

Agreed.

[Originate]

Waking life

Generation Kill (not really a movie)
Inside Man
District 9

So full of win. I need to find that on DVD somewhere. Great series.

[iJin]

Adventureland. Such a cool chill movie.

[Allereli]

TNT knows drama

Cinderella Man
Seabiscuit

[iJin]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[Lumi]

Saw The Goods tonight, laughed my ass off.

[Tisket]

Older movie but just watched Little Miss Sunshine and enjoyed it a lot. Funny movie.

[Nilandia]

Saw Ponyo a few days ago.

Definitely more geared to younger kids, but still enjoyable and still very high quality as a Miyazaki movie should be.

Gretchen

[Allereli]

Idiocracy

wasn't the best movie, but I laughed enough.

[Victor Mancini]

Idiocracy

wasn't the best movie, but I laughed enough.

First eight minutes was really really funny!

[4a6c1]

Documentary on HBO about Katrina. When the Levee's broke or something. Pretty good.

[Tea & Strumpets]

What about Bob?

Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus are hilarious in that movie.

[firegirl]

Uh, never heard of any of these and I pass a foreign movie theatre every day. Where do you find this stuff?

PS. PontyPool (awesome take on Zombies - Very funny and twisted)
Noted.

[Back]

PPS. Is Nightwatching the sequel to Nightwatch?

[BigWorm]

PPS. Is Nightwatching the sequel to Nightwatch?

No, you want Daywatch (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409904/)

[BigWorm]

Just saw Paranormal Activity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_UxLEqd074). Not a very big horror fan but this movie definitely had me in suspense almost the whole time.

[Victor Mancini]

I hope they come out with a Green Man or Day Man movie. I'd like that very much.

I watched Zombieland the other day. I liked it! Not as funny as Shaun of the Dead, but in terms of zombie movies, this was pretty darned good. I hope World War Z gets released next year. Yeah!

[Lumi]

Zombieland was awesome. So, obviously, was Shaun of the Dead ;)

Looking forward to Astroboy this weekend!

[firegirl]

Local Video Store.
Some might even be on (TMN or HBO) now.
I know Taking Chance is a HBO production.

[LMingrone]

Anyone seen Boondock Saints II? I'm going tomorrow expecting a real crappy movie, still gotta see it though. Any reviews without spoilers?

[Madcap]

Movies I've seen this week:

Zombieland (again cuz it ROCKS)
Law Abiding Citizen .. AMAZING fucking movie
The fourth kind .. eh ... not too good
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs... funny lol...
Gamer - pretty good action packed movie

[SolitareConfinement]

Taking Pelham 123

always love Travolta as a bad guy

[grenthor]

Black Dynamite

movie is funny as shit

Corpse Bride

Unusual premise, but fun movie.

[Sylvan Dreams]

Beowulf

Saw it in theatres, saw it again tonight. Fantastic movie.

[Nilandia]

Beowulf

Saw it in theatres, saw it again tonight. Fantastic movie.
I'm on the other end, though perhaps that's the purist in me who read the original poem and didn't like to see any alterations. The epic was... well, epic. I didn't see any need to change it.

I couldn't get past the animation of it... Just didn't seem... right. I saw it in 3d, and I couldn't picture it being watchable were it not.

[Sean of the Thread]

Publix gave us a free dvd rental last night. The automatic vendor was a pain in the ass and finally it spit out Observe and Report or something with Seth Rogen.

It sucked.

So does that damn dvd vending machine. Reminded me of Idiocracy trying to order BIG ASS FRIES!

[Cephalopod]

I'm on the other end, though perhaps that's the purist in me who read the original poem and didn't like to see any alterations. The epic was... well, epic. I didn't see any need to change it.

That movie was utter crap, ignoring any similarities or deviations. I never read the original poem, but I've been very fond of Seamus Heaney's translation and have reread it a few times and prefer it over earlier translations. (It also introduced me to Seamus Heaney, whose own poetry is well worth reading.)

A more entertaining re-imagining of the story is '13th Warrior', based on Michael Crichton's book 'Eaters of the Dead'. I enjoyed the changes in that instance.

I'd really like to see a movie version of John Gardner's Grendel. That was such a fantastic story, and I could actually see that translating to a movie well.

Agreed on all points. When I said having read the original poem, I meant reading the translation, since I can only pick out words and phrases here and there in the Anglo-Saxon. I also prefer Seamus Heaney's translation, and I highly recommend picking up a copy of him reading excerpts from it. Beowulf was meant to be read aloud, and it takes on a whole new dimension when you hear it.

I think you might be the first person I know of who's also read Grendel. I loved that book. Definitely would be interesting to see a movie made from it.

Gretchen

[Allereli]

It's Complicated

[Gelston]

I thought Avatar was good. I was sad when the humans lost. I figure if they make a sequel there'd just be an orbital bombardment that kills everything.

[4a6c1]

Finally saw Star Trek tonight, YAY!

lmao @ numb tongue and fat hands.

Spock did the best out of everyone.

[Fallen]

Bah. Bones ftw.

[4a6c1]

I need to watch some old star trek because I had a hard time drawing comparisons, but I heard they all did fantastic.

Or maybe not. I'm watching way too much star trek as it is for a single woman that lives with gay men and cats.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Spock is the hottest, though I expected him to wig out and telekinetically saw off top of Kirk's head through the entire movie a la Sylar.

I couldn't agree more!

[4a6c1]

yezzzz

[Cryheart]

Saw Avatar last week in 3D...was excellent!


Cryheart

[Swami71]

Sherlock Holmes

If you like the Illusionist or Prestige I think you'll like this movie.

[Nilandia]

Saw Princess and the Frog today and Avatar in 3D a couple days ago. Both fun and very entertaining. Hoping to go see Avatar in IMAX sometime this week.

Gretchen

[Celephais]

Rewatched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang today, awesome movie.

[Allereli]

Sherlock Holmes
The Royal Tenenbaums

[Fallen]

Sherlock Holmes

If you like the Illusionist or Prestige I think you'll like this movie.

Agreed. Sherlock Holmes was excellent. I prefered it over Avatar, actually. I doubt many will share that opinion, though.

[Drew]

The Royal Tenenbaums

This is my favorite film.

[Methais]

Watched Southland Tales the other day, some movie I've never heard of with the Rock and Buffy and some other people. Figured it'd be entertaining since the Donnie Darko people made it.

Instead it was one of the most pointless boring stupidest movies I've seen, and the Rock kicked 0 asses and cut 0 Rock style promos, making the movie even worse.

[CrystalTears]

So then it's not a good movie, as the thread asks?! :tongue:

[Methais]

So then it's not a good movie, as the thread asks?! :tongue:

Correct. I am guilty of being off topic.

[Fallen]

Watched The Forsaken just now. Fun vampire B movies.

[Androidpk]

The Road :(

[DCSL]

Battle Royale, one of my favorites. Especially the book. Loved that.

[Sam]

Battle Royale, one of my favorites. Especially the book. Loved that.

Didn't they just make an American movie completely ripping off this story?

[Methais]

Bachelor Party still rules after 26 years.

[Nilandia]

Saw Book of Eli yesterday. It was decent, though it could have been better.

Gretchen

[Drisco]

The Lovely Bones was just okay, I thought it could have been better tho. A lot of the scenes in the after life were pretty weird.

[AestheticLife]

Hot Fuzz annnd Lars and the Real Girl.

Both suprisingly great.

[B4Hand]

Saw The Book of Eli on Friday night and Daybreakers on Saturday night. I enjoyed them both, I think Daybreakers was my favorite of the two however.

[Revalos]

I am looking forward to seeing Book of Eli shortly and somehow I missed when The Road came out, but I'd like to see that too.

But...seriously...Avatar wins best drama at the Golden Globes? DRAMA?!?! Best director I could understand...but come on, enough circle jerking on it already. Amazing special effects, yes...but the movie is not that good!

[4a6c1]

Secret Life of Bees. Really good.

[Allereli]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

[Androidpk]

I enjoyed The Road more than The Book of Eli, thought it did a much better job of portraying a post apocalyptic world.

[DCSL]

I saw Legion. Critically panned but I laughed my ass off. There was a lot that was wrong with it. Tons. But hey, how many laughs do we get allotted in life? Too few, I say, so whatever makes it happen is great. Even unintentionally. I really appreciated the R rating.

[Amaron]

The Road :(

I read the book and enjoyed it, but I heard the movie was horrid.
