Which Good Movie Have You Seen Recently?

[Nilandia]

I'm starting to run low on my list, so I'm looking for recommendations for good movies to watch. Meantime, I figured I'd also start a list of good movies that are out there.

Doesn't have to be one made recently, and it doesn't have to be art house intellectual. Just something good and entertaining.

I'll start off with National Treasure: Book of Secrets. A fun movie that touches on American history, enough to tease but not lecture.

So, what have you seen lately?

Gretchen

[SayGoodbye]

Last movie I saw was Hulk..

[Tisket]

I watched There Will Be Blood last night. I know it won awards and shit but seriously, what the motherfuck...

Hated the characters, hated the story, hated the ending most of all.

[Tisket]

Sorry, I know this thread is for good movies but I was so expecting to like that movie and then I didn't. Fucking waste of time.

[Fallen]

They Live

[Back]

I haven’t watched it yet, but Diary of the Dead is next on my list. I would only recommend it if you are a zombie movie fan.

[diethx]

I saw The Happening, and despite the shit reviews, I really liked it. It was a little cheese plot-wise but I still liked it a lot overall.

I also rented The Flock from Blockbuster a couple weeks ago, thinking "Ooh, Richard Gere and Claire Danes and a bunch of sex offenders, gotta be good right? Why wasn't this in the movies?" DO NOT RENT. That fucking movie sucked so hardcore, omg, SO HARDCORE. How they got two fairly A-list actors to make that piece of shit is beyond me.

[firegirl]

A few I have seen lately that I liked...

Kite Runner - Writer living in California goes back to his home in Afghanistan to help his old childhood friend.

I'm not There - Bob Dylan.

Control - Story of Ian Curtis

Darjeeling Limited - Three American Brothers go for a Train ride Across India

Juno - Story of a pregnant teen

La Vie en Rose - Edith Piaf

Paris, je t'aime - small love stories about Paris

Fay Grim ( If you can get the first part, it makes it even better "Henry Fool")

Hope any of those work might peek your interest. Let me know what you think if you see any of them.

HAHA, it was a painful 2 hours, sad thing was I watched that and The List in the same week which was even worse.

[GS4Khistian]

La Vie En Rose.
Kung Fu Panda.
Death at a Funeral.
Hot Fuzz.
Waking Life.
Buy The Ticket;Take the Ride.
10 Questions for the Dalai Lama.
Why We Fight.
Sweeney Todd.
The Orphanage.

I'll think of more later..

[Stanley Burrell]

"The Band's Visit", as far as actual movies go; Jan, 1. '08+.

[Jaimaltz]

Watched No Country For Old Men.

Was actually pretty good. The crazy murderer guy pulls of a psycho really well, it's quite entertaining. Has Tommy Lee Jones (actually managed to act decently this time), and Woody Harrelson in it.

[Gan]

Kung Fu Panda - last weekend. Good movie. Quite funny.

Prince Caspian - today. Good movie. Liked the first better.

[Bobmuhthol]

On July 2, I'll be sure to come back and say Hancock.

[Latrinsorm]

See Juno.

Failing that, see the new Indiana Jones movie.

[Latrinsorm]

On July 2, I'll be sure to come back and say Hancock.^^^

Also, does anyone else hope that Will Smith returns to his theme of doing a rap for his movies? I mean come on, "Hancock"? Talk about fertile soil.

[Back]

Diary of the Dead.

Full of awesomeness.

[Amaron]

P.S. I love you

Its a chick flick but a good one. Man has a tumor and knows he is going to die, so he leaves behind letters to his wife to help her out through the first year he is gone.


J

[Tisket]

he leaves behind letters to his wife to help her out through the first year he is gone.


My husband would do that. Just to remind me that I am not allowed to have sex with anyone until he's been dead at least a decade.

[Miscast]

I'm pissed I missed seeing Cloverfield on the big screen... I saw it on a plane to Singapore and it was day and fuckers didn't close their windows and light was reflecting off my KrisWorld...

[Clove]

I'm pissed I missed seeing Cloverfield on the big screen... I saw it on a plane to Singapore and it was day and fuckers didn't close their windows and light was reflecting off my KrisWorld...Really. You didn't miss anything. It's like missing the Blair Witch Project on the big screen. srsly.

[diethx]

Really. You didn't miss anything. It's like missing the Blair Witch Project on the big screen. srsly.

Yup. Biggest let down of the year.

[Some Rogue]

Chitty Chitty Gang Bang

Because his Wild West remix did so well... :(


I wished he would have tied Switch in with Hitch though. I liked that song, and the movie.

[Clove]

The Hulk was incredible.

[SolitareConfinement]

Watched No Country For Old Men.

Was actually pretty good. The crazy murderer guy pulls of a psycho really well, it's quite entertaining. Has Tommy Lee Jones (actually managed to act decently this time), and Woody Harrelson in it.


i just watched this last night....this movies ending fucking blew...and ruined the rest of the off the wall assed movie.... rest of the movie was excellent though

[Sweets]

Saw Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones at the Drive-In last night. I loved Kung Fu Panda. Alot better than I thought it would be. Indiana was entertaining but a bit of a let down. Holy Grail still owns Indy.

[Kerranger]

Rise of the Footsoldier. Yeah. it came out last year. i dont watch tv or videos usually. Unless its youtube. British movies seem to be kicking american movies' asses lately.

[ElanthianSiren]

I'd go see The Hulk if Liv Tyler wasn't in it. Everytime I see her on screen, I want to kick her in the head :(

Seconded:
La Vie En Rose

That's the last really good movie I saw.

[Gan]

Every time I see Liv Tyler.... I definately dont want to kick her in the head.

:drool:

[ElanthianSiren]

LOL Well I don't dig girls, sorry to ruin your fantasies there :)

[Snapp]

Saw Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones at the Drive-In last night. I loved Kung Fu Panda. Alot better than I thought it would be. Indiana was entertaining but a bit of a let down. Holy Grail still owns Indy.

Drive-ins still exist?

Last movie I saw was Sex in the City. :heart:

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I just watched Day Watch last night, it's in Russian with sub titles through the whole movie, and is the sequel to Night Watch. I liked them both, and the effects and acting are good. Kind of a Sci-fi bent.

I also recently saw Jumper, it was ok.

A few less popular, not necessarily recent movies you may not have seen that are on my favorite list are;

Quiz Show
This Boy's Life
Sling Blade
Searching for Bobby Fischer
The Virgin Suicides
The Man Without a Face
Heathers

[Sweets]

Yeah, we still have a drive-in near by. One of the last in Canada. You don't have the radios that hook on to the window anymore but nothing else has changed. My husband still calls it the "fingerbowl". I don't ask.

[Sthrockmorton]

Yeah, we still have a drive-in near by. One of the last in Canada. You don't have the radios that hook on to the window anymore but nothing else has changed. My husband still calls it the "fingerbowl". I don't ask.

We have one right by my families place in Colorado.

[diethx]

Drive-ins still exist?

Last movie I saw was Sex in the City. :heart:

I believe there's one near here on the east side of Atlanta called the Starlight or something, so yeah. Not many left though.

And that movie was AWESOME, right? I loved like every damn second of it. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would though, which is odd for me.

[Nilandia]

We had a drive-in pretty close to here, but it closed not long ago. Never got to try it.

Adding to the list: both Narnia movies. Loved the books, and the movies are pretty derned good, too. Only thing that really got on my nerves was Caspian and Susan at the end of Prince Caspian. That just felt forced.

Gretchen

[Snapp]

And that movie was AWESOME, right? I loved like every damn second of it. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would though, which is odd for me.

Totally! I had read some bad reviews of it before I went, so I was pleasantly surprised. :D

[Asha]

I'm meant to watch Sex In The City too.
My GF said it was awesome. I only watched the show in passing but really enjoyed it.
I can't decide wether I want to yet.
I'm all about going to watch Hancock and the new M. Night film. (no I can't spell his name.)

[SayGoodbye]

Every time I see Liv Tyler.... I definately dont want to kick her in the head.

:drool:

Agreed. Liv Tyler is my forever obsession. :)

[Nilandia]

Just saw another movie that I'd highly recommend. It's called Tsotsi, and it's out of South Africa. Won the 2005 Oscar for best foreign film, and very well deserved. It's based off of a novel by South African playwright Athol Fugard, about a violent boy from the slums of Johannesburg finding a baby in the back seat of a car he steals, and what happens to him after.

I was thoroughly transfixed. It's violent, it's brutal, it's wicked, but it's a great movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story. It takes a lot for me to cry at a movie, and this did it so easily.

Gretchen

[TheEschaton]

Dude, welcome to...well, 2005.

[Celephais]

WALL-E was awesome.

[Eoghain]

Wanted was cool

[CrystalTears]

Get Smart was really funny. I :heart: Steve Carrell.

[Nilandia]

Dude, welcome to...well, 2005.
You'll notice the thread was started for good movies, not necessarily good recent movies. :D

I really liked The Godfather.

[Warriorbird]

Six String Samurai.

[Allereli]

Was looking for something to watch this weekend on On Demand and randomly found Waitress on Cinemax. It was really sweet and Kerri Russell was surprisingly good.

[Back]

I just watched Day Watch last night, it's in Russian with sub titles through the whole movie, and is the sequel to Night Watch. I liked them both, and the effects and acting are good. Kind of a Sci-fi bent.

I am re-watching Night Watch. Bizarre and lovely. The eastern Europeans created the whole vampire thing so this movie is a very interesting contemporary take on an old theme.

I now need to get and watch Day Watch.

It’s based on books? Right? Maybe I should get and read them.

[Warriorbird]

The books are a bit ethereal and surreal. I imagine you'd like it.

[Back]

The books are a bit ethereal and surreal. I imagine you'd like it.

You have a good imagination.

[AestheticDeath]

Death Race - I liked it.

[Solkern]

top gun ftmfw

[Back]

Lost in Translation next.

[TheEschaton]

I saw Vicki Christina Barcelona with a girl friend last night. I liked it. Woody Allen's best work in awhile, imo.

[crazymage]

They Live

^^^^^^^

[Stanley Burrell]

I have to watch Army of Darkness like a true OCD thug fo' lizz-ife off his Prozac. I wish I could hire someone to find download torrents for me, but I started paying taxes this year. Shit. You bastard-guys and your avatars.

[Allereli]

Saw Young at Heart on the plane and was really touched. It's a documentary about senior citizens who perform rock classics and contemporary music in general. From various divorces, deaths and remarriages I have 7 grandparents and three have died in the last year, four if you count my grandmother who was rescusitated, I wish they all could have maintained the same spirit as the people in the chorus.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1047007/

[Asha]

In Bruges was good.
I enjoyed it.

[Back]

In Bruges was good.
I enjoyed it.

On your recommendation I watched it. Good stuff.

Now it’s 12 Monkeys.

[Revalos]

I just saw No Country for Old Men and really liked it. I also saw Kung Fu Panda on the flight back from Korea and it was pretty good.

Those two are dichotomously opposed, but both good in their own ways.

[Warriorbird]

I saw Tropic Thunder again.

:)

[GS4Khistian]

Tugg Speedman: There were times while I was playing Jack where I felt...
[pause]
Tugg Speedman: ...retarded. Like, really retarded.
Kirk Lazarus: Damn!
Tugg Speedman: In a weird way I had to sort of just free myself up to believe that is was ok to be stupid or dumb.
Kirk Lazarus: To be a moron.
Tugg Speedman: Yeah!
Kirk Lazarus: To be moronical.
Tugg Speedman: Exactly, to be a moron.
Kirk Lazarus: An imbecile.
Tugg Speedman: Yeah!
Kirk Lazarus: Like the dumbest mother fucker that ever lived.
Tugg Speedman: [pause] When I was playing the character.

[TheLastShamurai]

I saw Tropic Thunder again.

:)

tom cruise totally made that movie. without him it wouldn't have been nearly as funny.

the funniest thing about the movie minus cruise was the fake previews they played before the movie.

there was some dude with like three of his little kids sitting in front of me, and when the booty juice commercial ended, he went into a fit of rage (he didn't realize it was part of the movie). it was PRICELESS!

[Dothstar's_Seven]

I just finished a Forest Whitaker quadruple feature.

Ghost Dog, Vantage Point, The Last King of Scotland, and Street Kings.

Ghost Dog takes the top spot. I've loved that movie for a long time now.

[Nilandia]

I adore The Last King of Scotland. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Gretchen

[TheEschaton]

He was fucking amazing in Last King of Scotland...

..and Kerry Washington is hot, reminds me of an old girlfriend.

Speaking of which, she was on Bill Maher last week, and she was wicked smart too - it was fucking awesome.

-TheE-

[Ignot]

I just watched the Sasquatch Gang recently and thought it was pretty funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF91tolwLu4

[SolitareConfinement]

one that i didn't see mentioned. was American Gangster

[Sean of the Thread]

I hate to say it but Big Momma's House 2.

It cracks my ass up.

[Sean of the Thread]

Nobody give me shit for this as I'm buzzed but Mrs. Doubtfire is funnier than I remember. Maybe I'm just in a better mood lately and going thru a personality change.

Oh and I just saw a forrest whittaker movie I enjoyed about insurance fraud and found it enjoyable. Can't get the name of it off my buzzed brain currently but whatever.

[droit]

Anyone seen the British flick, "Saving Grace"? It's about this older horticulturist housewife whose husband commits suicide leaving her with a huge pile of debt, and her gardener convinces her to apply her green thumb to growing and selling marijuana to earn the money. It's a really cute movie.

[Sean of the Thread]

Weeds ftw.

[TheLastShamurai]

In Bruges was good.
I enjoyed it.

maybe thats what hell is, the rest of your life spent in fucking bruge.

[Warriorbird]

Yeah. I dug that film.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I just watched Bella.

Beautiful film, I really enjoyed it, and had a "happy ending" that didn't give cavities.

[Back]

Saw Burn After Reading tonight.

As a long time Cohen Brothers fan I'd say this was good. Not to the level of some of their past films, but pretty good. In all, the way the story weaved and wrapped up was the most entertaining part for me. I felt the characters lacked some depth and that some of the humor was a little cheap.

Still, having said all that, it was worth the price of admission.

PS. On a PC tonight so forgive my lack of spelling and using inch and foot marks.

[SHAFT]

Anyone familiar with Layer Cake? If not I recommend it.

[Allereli]

Rocky marathon on Bravo!

[iJin]

I have watched Hostel featuring Bruce Willis with my bf today. It's a pretty good movie overall.

[diethx]

I'm pretty sure Bruce Willis wasn't in Hostel, heh.

[iJin]

osht. I mean Hostage.

Hahaha.


I always get the two confused. Except one of them sucked badly and the other didn't.

[Some Rogue]

Except one of them sucked badly and the other didn't.

Sounds like the last two posters!!1111

Oh wait, wrong thread.

[diethx]

Ooh. Yeah that movie was good until the end, when that crazy punk started outsmarting black ops-type bad guys and stealthily sneaking around and crawling out of ceiling vents and whatnot. That shit was just ridiculous, cuz he would've been so seriously pwn'd.

[firegirl]

a couple new ones that came out on DVd recently that I enjoyed...

CJ7 - same guy that did Kung fu Hustle.
The Fall - Same Director as The Cell - Pretty sweet story but mind boggling at the same time.
Son of Rambow - light british family style movie.
Felon : Stephen Dorff (YUCK) but the movie was kinda decent.

[diethx]

Stephen Dorff (YUCK)

:puzzled:

He may not be the best actor around... but he makes me hot in the panties, hehe.

[radamanthys]

If you liked The Departed, and enjoy foreign films... try "Infernal Affairs". It's the movie that The Departed was wholly based off of.

I really enjoyed The Number 23, with Jim Carrey (my internet is wonky tonight, so I can't look up the spelling) in a serious role.

I also really liked Stranger than Fiction. It's the only Will Ferrell movie that I even came near to not wanting to punch him in. It went back to his subtle roots where he was actually funny. Like his 'more cowbell' days. Incredible, if you're into a movie that's deserving of the word 'literature'.

A random addition to the list:
I really really liked Earthsea. It's a really traditional fantasy story, but the world is well-crafted. Doesn't really follow canon, if you're into that. Has Kristin Kreuk (Lana from Smallville) in it. Liked it for the 'entertaining fantasy' aspect.

More later.

[Allereli]

I have Airheads on right now. Totally underrated.

RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING!

[diethx]

lol, I haven't seen that movie in 10 years. Freaking awesome.

[Solkern]

[diethx]

I saw The Forbidden Kingdom the other day - was funny.

[CrystalTears]

Superbad. OMG hilarious.

[Drisco]

The Life Behind Her Eyes.

Great Movie, I felt like I understood her completely and that I knew exactly what she was feeling.

I've cried probably 4 times in the last 5 years that I can remember. I shed tears at the end of this movie.

[Stanley Burrell]

I sort've half-watched Charlie Wilson's War a bit earlier.

[SHAFT]

I'm meant to watch Sex In The City too.
My GF said it was awesome. I only watched the show in passing but really enjoyed it.
I can't decide wether I want to yet.
I'm all about going to watch Hancock and the new M. Night film. (no I can't spell his name.)


You're a homo. You can't come up with any arguement to justify wanting to see that movie.

[Drisco]

Weeds ftw.

Fuck Yes. Season Finale Tonight.



You're a homo. You can't come up with any arguement to justify wanting to see that movie.

Sure there is. Maybe his girlfriend really wants to see it and is begging him to go. He says he'll do it if she does something for him in-turn (Sex). Just when they are about to go see the movie it gets cancled due to a freak power outage, and she works tomorrow so you can't see it then. Thus he really wants to go watch the movie so he can get fucked. There in lies the reason justifying his want to see the movie.

You never know...

Also, the girls in that movie are hot.




































Or he's a big raging homo.

[Ulkov]

Watched Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels yesterday, which made me wanna watch 28 Weeks Later again for some reason...which led me to Night Watch (due to the Day Watch trailer at the head of 28 weeks later).

Also, if no one's suggested it yet, I highly recommend The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

and Cannibal the Musical.

[RichardCranium]

Watched Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels yesterday,

One of my favorites. I liked Snatch too.

[CrystalTears]

Also, if no one's suggested it yet, I highly recommend The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
I'd like to hear more input on this movie. My family HATED this movie with every fiber of their being, and they love movies and rarely berate a movie, let alone fall asleep through one. I wouldn't mind if someone told me they're crackheads for feeling that way, but I'd like to get more opinions on it.

[Ulkov]

One of my favorites. I liked Snatch too.

Yes, excellent movie. Somebody mentioned Layer Cake earlier - along the same style, also a good movie.

Admitedly, the movie can be slow at times. What I liked about it is how it made me feel about the two main characters at any given time. I went from sympathizing with Jesse James and hating Ford to vice versa and back again. As the title pretty much states, the movie is solely about these two people and the story told tends to be very character driven rather than action driven. If you want a good old-style western, this isn't the film for you. It's more of a historical-documentary (well, by the writer's history anyway, I'm not trying to start a debate on this movie and it's true historical relevance) with well-paid actors.

[Jenisi]

I saw Dark Knight a few weeks ago, not that anyone doesn't know this, but it was great. What I didn't like was Tropic Thunder, and I normally LOVE Ben Stiller movies so it was a bit saddening. Oh well.

[Dothstar's_Seven]

We Own The Night.

[Sean of the Thread]

Watched Pineapple Express tonight.. meh. Watched about 15 minutes of Burn after reading and it looks good. Gonna catch it again when I got more time.

[Allereli]

this thread has turned into "movies I watched 5 minutes of that I might like if I get to watch it later."

[Sean of the Thread]

Meh I started to watch it at the theatre and was getting into it when I realized I wouldn't be able to finish it tonight so I bailed. Certainly going to catch it and Step Brothers.

[Dothstar's_Seven]

The Lakehouse.

Man. What a chick flick.

[Sean of the Thread]

Just finished up with Rendition. Not bad...long tho.

[Warriorbird]

Watched 'My Cousin Vinny' again tonight.

[Back]

The Bank Job. Pretty good. Held my interest until the end.

Speed Racer. W T F? Fell asleep.

Black Snake Moan. Top notch movie.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I saw Babel for the first time.

Great movie!

[Allereli]

Got Ratatouille on, maybe I'll go get some French food later.

[Ulkov]

Katt Williams: American Hustle

It was on Comedy Central , uncensored, and it made me wheeze. Luenell.... she's the shit. If you need to laugh, watch this movie.

[Nilandia]

Spaceballs. It just never gets old.

Gretchen

[Kyra231]

I just finished a Forest Whitaker quadruple feature.

Ghost Dog, Vantage Point, The Last King of Scotland, and Street Kings.

Ghost Dog takes the top spot. I've loved that movie for a long time now.

Street Kings worth watching for a few bucks? I've been flipping through the mod out of sheer boredom.:banghead:

[Bokertal]

Watched Devils Advocate the other night. HOT.

[diethx]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Fucking hilarious.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I went and saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, and I really enjoyed it. Some parts were absolutely hysterical

[DCSL]

I got the Coppola Restoration collection of The Godfather Trilogy and rewatched them all through the last couple of days. I had the most enormous crush on Michael Corleone when I was a little girl. Does that seem wrong? Or oh so right?

This probably explains why I've dated five Mikes, with all of them being pale-skinned, dark-haired apathetic types. Damn.

[Hips]

I had the most enormous crush on Michael Corleone when I was a little girl. Does that seem wrong? Or oh so right?


You mean you still don't? :heart:

[DCSL]

Oh, I totally do. While I was in NYC last month, I got to see The Godfather restoration on the big screen in this old theater. It was so awesome. Me and my friend had to wipe the drool from our chins as we staggered outside again. Mmm, Michael Corleone..

[Allereli]

I have the original Naked Gun on. Still cracks me up after all these years.

Hey! It's Enrico Palazzo!

[Sean of the Thread]

Assault with a concrete dildo cracks me up.

[Stretch]

Blood Sport's on one of the local networks here.

It's the worst movie that I can't avoid watching whenever it's on TV.

[Stanley Burrell]

I'm going to watch Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme. Without having watched it, I can tell you that this is an awesome anime because it has neat-o holograms on the DVD case, which not only = awesome, but penis size/vagina tightness. If you're a hermaphrodite and you watch this, you ascend.

If you don't find my posts awesome, kill yourself.

[Bobmuhthol]

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

And hopefully I'll go see Don't Go in the House, Blood Freak, and/or Sex Demons before the theater stops showing them. Hooray for grindhouse series!

[DeV]

Finally got around to watching Apocalypto. I don't care about the historical inaccuracy, I liked it.

Speaking of the Grindhouse series, Death Proof kicked ass.

[Solkern]

Spaceballs

I'm trying to find a good movie to download, anyone have anything to recommend?
I was thinking Iron man, or Harold and Kumar's new movie..

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I finally saw The Happening.

Good movie!

[Sean of the Thread]

Apocalypse Now redux


:)

[Bobmuhthol]

The Brattle Theater stopped the grindhouse movies :(

Next on my list are Max Payne, Frontrunners, and The Flaming Lips' Christmas on Mars

[SolitareConfinement]

Blood Sport's on one of the local networks here.

im pretty sure kick boxer was worse than bloodsport but yet a movie that i can't seem to avoid watching either when its on :puke:

Slumdog Millionaire

I passed out watching Bull Durham last night, too

[CrystalTears]

I thought Valkyrie was very good.

[Allereli]

Hancock. Funny shit.

[Androidpk]

Burn Notice. Not as good as I thought it would be.

[CrazyEyesMcKinney]

I watched Super-Size-Me last night. I had no idea the three McDonalds meals a day I've been feeding to my kids for the past three years was responsible for their obesity! Truly life changing!

7 pounds was pretty good, I thought.

[AnticorRifling]

Step Brothers.

[NocturnalRob]

Saw Ghost Town last night. Gervais is pretty damn hysterical.

[Keller]

I'd like to hear more input on this movie. My family HATED this movie with every fiber of their being, and they love movies and rarely berate a movie, let alone fall asleep through one. I wouldn't mind if someone told me they're crackheads for feeling that way, but I'd like to get more opinions on it.

I'd put it in my top 10 movies of all time.

It's a brilliant piece of film making.

If you like movies, you might not like it. If you like films, you will.

[Keller]

I saw Milk recently. It was meh.

I expect a lot from Gus and this was rushed to screen. Sort of a dissapointment. I'd give it an 80ish out of 100. I expected a 95+.

[NocturnalRob]

agree with Keller here for the most part. I wouldn't say top 10, but absolutely worth watching.

[Daniel]

I had to watch it in two sittings because I didn't realize how long it was and I had to be up the next day. However, I really really liked it. Then again, I really just like stories.

[NocturnalRob]

Then again, I really just like stories.

When I was a kid I used to hate Charlie and the Chocolate factory, my little sister loved it so I would be forced to watch it more times than I can count.


On that note though, Howl's Moving Castle. I like it a lot, seen it before.

I adore that movie, along with all of Miyazaki's films. The dubbing was actually done well for each of them, too. You might also like The Cat Returns, if you enjoy his work.

The Brattle Theater stopped the grindhouse movies :(

Next on my list are Max Payne, Frontrunners, and The Flaming Lips' Christmas on Mars

I saw and enjoyed all of these. As well as Changeling if I haven't listed that one yet.

Recently, Burn After Reading. In a few hours, Gran Torino. I'm not even going to wait until I see it to say it's good.

Recently, Burn After Reading.

I saw that last night. Wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it was a clusterfuck full of hilarity. Brad Pitt's character made me lol so hard, especially.

As I was watching it I didn't feel it was as great as people portray it, but I've been thinking about it for days now. Welles performance is really inspiring. Every scene he was in that movie was tremendous, an excellent example of the alpha male.

Def. Awesome movie on so many levels.

Although if you're a guy, don't watch it alone...

:-\ I just realized... Backlash, did you watch this alone? I guess it's okay alone for its cinematic qualities. I read a review about it and there was a quote from someone paraphrased as "You know you have made a film when you can turn off the sound and still follow the story, you know you haven't when you can turn off the video and still follow the story", this film lives up to that quote.

Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later are two of my all-time favorite zombie movies, despite Shaun of the Dead being a parody. It is simply amazing.

Hot Fuzz is great, too. I've liked it more every time I've watched it. Friggin' hilarious.

rofl. The next time I bring a chick home I am so asking them if they want to watch Wall•E. Or maybe I’ll try that as a pick up line... “So, you want to come over and watch the greatest Disney/Pixar animated movie about robots in love?” heh.

Cel is right though. Its clumsy big-pawed puppy or rambunctious kittens cute. It is a very well made film in all aspects. Cinematography, story, character development, art direction, animation and it has Fred Willard too.

Did you catch all the 2001: A Space Odyssey references Cel?

(it is a sickeningly sweet and great movie, though)

[Drunken Durfin]

My wife made me go see Slumdog Millionaire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1010048/) last night, retaliation for the Day the Earth Stood Still (which sucked), and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a really good movie.

Yeah I caught a good deal of them, can't say "all" of them because I watched 2001 so long ago. I do agree that it's great in a ton of aspects.

hur hur save the jokes but this was a well made movie. I have my own standards for what constitutes a good theatrical production and this movie really does well. Believable characters, good cinematography, great acting. Heath Ledger should have got an Academy for that one.

no, it would be wrong if I said "moving picture." Have you ever looked at fine art before? The cinematography of the movie reminds me of being in a museum and having a painting come to life and tell an actual story.

I haven't either, but for some reason I found the whole movie pretty goddamn funny, especially the action sequences. My stupid filter is pretty tolerant.

Righteous Kill and The Lookout are both worth watching, imo.

IMO, righteous kill was a huge waste of both deniro and pacino. The script was poorly written and boring, and everything about it was cliché. And the surprise ending (no spoilers here) was laughably forced. I dunno. I was just hoping for something from the hey-day of both actors. But I guess that's what you get when you set your expectations so high.

The Lookout...meh. I thought the ending sucked, but it built a pretty decent storyline.

The Lookout...meh. I thought the ending sucked, but it built a pretty decent storyline.Heh, yeah, I failed to mention that my expectations were not as high for the plot as they were for the acting. It's a b-movie, plot-wise, from start to finish, but once I stopped caring about the plot as much I found myself enjoying the acting, which was well done - with good synergy, IMO.

The lookout did have a decent plot although I felt it was less about the bank robbery (major part of the plot) and more about Chris's struggle with psychological problems. Bonus points for depicting what people with head injuries actually deal with during recovery.

Yeah, Gladiator and Bravehard are absolutely amazing. Pineapple Express was freaking hilarious too. As far as movies in the theater, I went and saw the new Underworld and Taken. Both movies were excellent! Liam Neeson did a phenomenal job in Taken and Underworld was a very powerful love story. The chemistry between Lucian and Sonja was great. It was cool to watch the Lycans rise to power too.
