The latest movie I have seen was Blade Trinity.It was very good, especially that Van Wilder guy,cause I really don't know his name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Gladiator with Russel Crowe (only know he was in it because a friend told me).

Nice movie, well made, decent story etc.

Oceans 12

a very good movie

Oceans 11!

Dark Water, very spooky and very good! It's a little strange to see all those japanese people, but it still is an awesome movie! It's strange how scared you can get of a simple water spot on the ceiling...scaaaaary! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm I haven't yet seen it, but I heard oceans 12 was rather dissapointing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" />

Last movie I've seen is man on fire, about the kidnappings in mexico city.
I liked it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

Oceans 12 is a great movie if you like the humor of it. It"s a bit hard to follow since it's a Oceans movie but I liked it alot.

The latest movie I have seen is actually one of the weirdest movies I ever seen.

The movie: Peacekeepers, it is not the movie about Yugoslavia, it is a documentary about war in Chechnya. This movie is not listed on imdb. It goes into details of this war. Hatred, destroyed cities, suffering civilians and violence (sure, as movie is russian then we see only one side of the medal).
Very sad that there are still places on planet Earth where such things take place. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Last movie? Hmmm, lemmethink? Brother Bear! Nice story, touching...
But I see about 2 movies a day, should I tell about the other one I saw yesterday? Shrek 2, very well made, nice little details, like the picture of Sir Justin in the bed of Fiona (@ her house in the land of "Far Far Away"). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Gladiator was indeed a nice movie,Dark watter haven't heard of but sounds interesting and I can't wait 2 see Ocean's Twelve cause I really liked the first part

I loved both Oceans 11 and Oceans 12 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Loved butterfly effect too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmm the rest of my new movies, i havnt watched yet.... too busy chatting here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Wow I guess I better go to Blockbuster. I haven't seen any of those movies yet!

Me 2 love Butterfly Efect.I just have so much movies than I don't have time to watch'em all,and I guess I never will.

Star Wars comes out on May 19. I just saw the preview.

Got myself the Matrix boxset. Absolutely amazing movies, especially Reloaded! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Matrix was brilliant... but if i take a movie like Equilibrium, i prefer the latter.

YAY!! another person who prefers Equilibrium over Matrix! (sorry, HEF, kinda lonely for this lone Equilibrium fan)

concept-wise, Dark City is the predecessor of Matrix. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm so excited about the Chronicles of Narnia movie that is coming out. I loved those books when I was a child. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Yesterday watched the movie: The I Inside
Nice concept. Had some difficulties understanding the plot. Good, as I can reserve that for the second try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@janggut
I loved dark city too... but i think the matrix concept was more based on "ghost in a shell"... now THAT i absolutely LOVED...

WHAT movie??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Never heard of it...

I like Matrix though. At least the first movie, the other two is rather pointless...

What do you mean by that Lady Rain?

"Lord Of The Rings" is one of my favourite movies especially part two cause there is a lot of action and the orcs and other creatures are very well designed and there are some spectacular views. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Lord of the Rings were just FANTASTIC!!!!! all 3 of them (the first one was a little slow though).

@ Ubs
Equilibrium is a very very good movie... banned in a couple of countries (dont ask me why, i thought it was GOOD, with no real harsh stuff in it)

Darn I cant even remember the name of the last movie I saw ...... but if it counts was a dvd I saw The Dungeon & Dragons movie ....now that was a sad production <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

The next movie i am about to watch is called "backofmyeyelids" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />
The only cinima that features this, is situated at the corner of pillow and duvet....

I don`t know the correct english title. But translating again to english, i think would be:
Someone have to give up!(or something like that). With Jack Nickolson(correct?) and Keanu Reeves and i don`t remember the name of the actress.
Romantic comedia, very nice.

Its translated: "Somethings gotta give" very good movie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The last movie I saw is actually still running on TV. It's "Michael". With John Travolta as a big fat angel, yesterday I saw "Legends of the Fall" and the day before I saw a piece of "7 years in Thibet", both with Brad Pitt. But since I have these movies in my collection, I don't have to wait in front of my telee for some movie huh??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Is anyone getting jalous allready? Just kidding!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

So you saw too. Thanks for the correct title Lady_rain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Isn't that the one were Helen Hunt was sitting on the side of her bathtub an looked like a model of a nude painting? And where Jack Nicholson couldn't step on the stipes of a sidewalk or something? That movie wasn't bad, but the fans of Helen Hunt should really watch the movie "What woman want". I'm not so much a fan of Jack Nicholson. Very ugly and angry looking man, with his eyebrows, yuk! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

The movie with Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson is called "As Good As It Gets". That's the yucky movie about a man that is mean to everyone and is paranoid about the sidewalk cracks.

"Something's Gotta Give" stars Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. I haven't seen it yet, but heard that it is pretty good.

Galadriel, you are right about those eyebrows! Ha Ha

I think those eyebrows funny in the movie situations.

"Something's Gotta Give" what i saw is about a man who likes of more young women and create a confusion with the family of the girl and fall in love for her mother(what is a famous writer) and his medic(Keanu Reeves) like of the books and fall in love for her too. The movie look like this, i don't remember everything now, btw i have to get some sleep now - all night working.

Oi, I love Jack Nicholson - when he gets through the door in Shining and says "Here comes daddy!" or something similar, that's just too great! No, really, I think he is a great actor! The Shining is a great movie, while we are talking about it. (And I liked "Somethings gotta give", but there are better ones out there imho). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, I liked all movies with Jack Nicholson, and be it only because he acted in them. I had a little Lynch festival yesterday and watched "Twin Peaks" and "Mulholland Drive". I love them, really, if I only could figure out what they are about! Very creepy, I guess you just have to watch them often enough (I watched Twin Peaks like 20 times by now, ahem). *is a huge Lynch fan* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Blade Trinity was the latest movie I've seen. It was falling flat on its face until the introduction of the wise cracking hunter (cant remember his name) and the total babe female hunter. Nice!
Over all it was the worst of the 3, but still ok.

Equilibrium is an excellent movie, very enjoyable, and better for me than all the matrix films.

Lord of the Rings series are my favourite films though.

HERE'S JONNY!

I liked the Shining, but I liked the Simpsonsparody of it even more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

"Latest movie I've seen ? Shrek I , wanted to see Shrek II but never managed. Now I'm heading for the Incredibles. :P

Yesterday I saw "Duplex" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />and "Blade II" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />. You cannot believe how mean a pretty old lady can be and how persistant Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller are. Of course "Blade II" was a dark movie about vampires and another creepy kind of bloodsuckers. Both were very good movies.

I saw Starsky and Hutch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Very nice movie even more with the not convenient(correct?) things what they do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Master and Commander.
Very impressing, good Movie.

Going to rent "The Village" tomorrow. I already saw it, but my wife didn't--good movie.

I think that my wife and me are gonna watch OR Bridget jones (2) OR The incredibles tomorrow

I think it's supposed to be Bridget Jones The edge of reason (this is the 3th part of the dairy of Bridget Jones)
But since you are a guy, I can forgive you. It's really a girlsmovie! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I didn't like the village, found it too boring and it was nothing special.
I liked the 6th sense and the unbreakable way more.

I just went to get 'the butterfly effect', bunch of people recommended it, so my expectations are high <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

couple months ago Alexander The Great

Started as an documentary and then went in to his life and achievements. The movie dragged on, and with it me as well. After the show was over, the moive did however did leave its mark.

ok but could have done better with a different approach to directing the movie

I'm so into that movie.I can't wait to see it,it's just that i don't have it.I saw a trailer and it looks very good.I tihnk that the next movie I'm going to watch is "The Incredibles".Most of people I asked about this movie said it was great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Since when did Alexander The Great have an Irish Dublin accent?

I got to see yer wan Angi Jolie at the premier here! Nice!! About the only big star premier I've ever heard of in this country!

Also don't like film that fills itself with big name stars...me thinks they are compenstating for something...

Havnt seen the movie yet (due to hectic schedule), but the books were absolutely BRILLIANT....

I am about to sit down and watch hidalgo.. will tell you what i think

Hope it will be good, I bought the movie a few days ago, but didn't got the time to watch it yet. But one of Hollywoods yummiest man is in it so, that makes up for the movie if it do sucks!

It was brilliant IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But for now, its me and snoozland....

I liked Hidalgo.

It was a simple movie with a solid story and it was done well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm gonna watch King Arthur today.Hope it will be good.

I saw Hidalgo yesterday!! Finally!! Magnificent horses, yummie Viggo and long time no see Omar Sharif!! Today while I was ironing, I saw Monsters inc. Not so great, Toy Story was better. Today, I'm gonna watch 8 Miles. Anyone saw that? Was it good?

A friend of mine has told me 8 miles was good. But I think you will know this day, won't you?

Übereil

It's really called 8 Mile.A lot of people say 8 Miles instead of 8 Mile.The movie is good,in my opinion.A lot of people don't think that.It also depends on what kind of music you listen.For example I listen to Rap & R&B and I like Eminem,but you will decide if the movie is good or not. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

It is a good movie, and so is Hidalgo. But never see Hidalgo with 2 30 oz bottles of water with you! Lets just say you will miss part of the movie.

Didn't see Hidalgo.Sounds interesting.Now I'm gonna watch Alien vs Predator.Hope it's good

Well, as they say, hope dies the last.

8 mile is a good movie..... LOTS of swearing, but the story is decent.

I am currently busy watching toy story (AGAIN - a certain 3 year old is addicted to it, so the whole household suffers)

Maybe you can rent Monsters Inc. From the makers of Toy story. Is not that good, but maybe it is for children.

Iceage was a succes.Really liked that movie

Iceage was great, I loved it! One of the funniest movies I have ever seen I guess. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I watched John Carpenter's Vampires yesternight, and it still is one of the best vampire-movies out there. Very violent with lots of blood and guts, ewww! 'Generally, I love vampire movies, Bram Stoker's Dracula is great too. Oh, and "From Dusk Till Dawn" is so funny! I watched it recently and realized that I had forgotten how funny it really was! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

@ Iceweb
Did you see 'Interview with a vampire', 'Blade 1 & 2', 'A vampire in Brooklyn'? There are more, but that's all I can remember
from the top of my head.

And don't forget Blade Trinity.Really liked that movie.Saw it 2 weeks ago.

The original Nosferatu is still the best vampire movie, IMHO.
From Dusk Till Dawn is indeed a funny movie.
Vampires is not that bad at all.
Blade 2 is superior to Blade 1 because Guilemo Del Torro is a great director.
Blade 1 is a pretty good action movie.
Interview With A Vampire is a remarquable feat of book-to-movie transcription.
Queen of the Damned is as awful as IWAV was amazing.
Mel Brooks' Dracula is a good parody but not Mel's best.
Nosferatu Simply amazing. This film was miles ahead of it's time - acting, camera angles and scene transitions.
Shadow of the Vampire is a really impressive "what if" movie about the making of Nosferatu.

Of course all this are sorely my opinions.

I have two movies to watch today - Zatoichi (the Blind Samurai) and the movie - Escape from Gulag.

I know that Zatoichi is excellent Takeshi Kitano movie, but as for the second one, will have my impressions by tomorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yesterday I watched Windtalkers again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> great one.

Ok, now that i have been forced to watch toy story about 3 times today ALONE..... (we have loads of others, from lionking, to nemo, to ice age...etc etc etc... the only ones that he wants to watch, is toystory, and nemo)

I watched the last samurai last night.... it had a brilliant story line... and just as good acting.

In the vampire collection i think we can leave out "Underworld" also a very good movie

IMHO Interview with the vampire and Queen of the Damned, should not be seen as sequels.... the mood of the movies are just too different. But both had brilliant acting, i loved the story of both, i absolutely LOVED the music in QOTD, and when you are slightly intoxicated, its just a very interesting movie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

You really mean it?


How sad... because The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned (the two books the movie was made from) are direct sequels to IWTV. To me, QotD the movie is like The Two Towers directed by John Woo.

Oh i agree about the books being sequels.... but what i mean is that the moods in the 2 movies are just UNBRIDGABLE... from a movie point of view, they should be seen as complete seperate movies.

I own the whole Vapire Chronicle collecction, been collecting them since i saw the movie Interview with the Vampire.... and yes... I like IWTV MUCH more than QOTD.... but when not viewed as a sequel... QOTD rises to a much higher quality than it would if you consider them a sequel.

Its recoded from 2 very different point of views. IWTV is nostalgic and mildly depressed (Louis), while QOTD is Compulsive, factual and i can almost call it ecstatic in its mad pace (Lestat), these 2 characters were like this in the books too... so i think that they captured the general disposition of the narators (Louis and Lestat) perfectly in the movies.

@galadriel Yes, of course! Blade is just so stylish! And I think I watched "Interview with a Vampire" like...dunno, 10 times or so. Well, I admit that was partly the merit of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and how could I forget about Nosferatu! Shame on me! It really is one brilliant movie. I am slowly getting the feeling that I watch TV too much! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh, while we are talking about brilliant movies and camera angles and such - basically all Hitchcock movies are awesome, I especially liked Vertigo. But, if you ask me, it's a sin to colourize them, I think they lose so much of the atmosphere! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I really mean that. What's wrong about Kitano or about Zatoichi DATD?

A friend of my father lend us The Last Samurai and Zatoichi and he said that The Last Samurai is as great as Zatoichi is a travesty to the movie industry. My father and I watched The Last Samurai together and got an overly good impression but then he watched Zatoichi and laughing, told me the next morning that I should definitly see it. Well, I laughed till the middle of the movie then turned it off... not too far from the scene were the blindman slaughtered all of the gamehouse guards and patrons... It was one of the worst movies I've seen and I've seen Vanilla Sky.

I really liked Zatoichi, very fun movie(s). Egin, did you see the old movies too?

DATD
Last samurai is a product of Hollywood, as all others fancy and polished. Kitano's and Kurosawa's movies are different. They stand and are based on japanese spirit, they describe will and strength of a warrior. Needless to say that this movie is funny too.
You could try Kurosawa old movies - they often look the same, comic and strange and too simple from the first look <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Rythok, yep I have seen many of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just finished watching Escape from Gulag - correct translation will be -

So weit die Füße tragen (2001)

Excellent movie. First one I saw, where german soldier at WWII is shown from the positive side.

I have The Seven Samurai on the other computer: since I am very ill now, I'll watch it (I still haven't finished watching Troy. Watched half of it then went to sleep and forgot about the movie completely).
As for The Last Samurai being a product and Hollywood, I tell you: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet".
The quote above can be reversed but I don't want to offend you so I won't put Zatoichi and biological by-products in the same sentence. Peace!

I am sorry to hear that you ill DATD, I hope it is not serious and you will be ok again very soon.



Not everything that shines is gold DATD.

I will argue not.
Farcry and Hollywood. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Peace.

This means war!

:P
Now, what give you the idea that I like Hollywood? I like but a very limited selection of big budget Hollywood films and would always prefer to watch movies like Boondock Saints, Snatch, Lock Stock, Love Actually (the very best romantic comedy ever!), Equilibrium, Memento, Donnie Darko and... well you get my point.

Watching Death To Smoochy Again.

allow the beard to disagree with death at the door.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> maybe Al can draw a picture of that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

anyway, i've seen (also watched it) Last Samurai & personally i felt that it's a lame movie though the early part is nice. lame? why? tom cruise practically is the Neo of the period. he walked in a white boy & out a samurai in a very short time. heck, even diploma takes longer time to finish.

just too unsound for me to digest the film & even the beautiful cinematography can't redeem the film in my eyes.

just me & Egin, death.

by the way, i have yet to watch zatoichi but it looks promising.

No it doesn't.

We have found differencies between us let us find similarities. We are here not to fight right? You don't like some movies, games I like - tht's ok, I can live wit that.

I do like many Hollywoodish movies. They are best budgeted, sentimental, patriotic. I do like Braveheart with Mel Gibson, Fifth Element with Bruce Willis, Saving Pryvate Ryan with Tom Henks.

I was joking wasn't it?

Right, joking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


So, peace then ?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Really liked Saving Private Ryan.One of my favourite war movies.Kind a like Tears Of The Sun with Bruce Willis.Good movie

Watched "Mean girls". Very good with very good actress from "Party of five", and I'm glad I'm not 16 anymore!

I Spit on your Grave

What?

Übereil

I'm watching "Demolition Man" again and I still don't know how Sylvester Stallone is supposed to use that shell in the bathroom. Something to wipe his behind, but how do you do that with a shell. I think they didn't know that either because it never got mentioned again in the movie. Sorry if that is offensive too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Back on topic, I just saw Wolfgang Petersen's Troy.
A solid movie with well-structured battles that I trully enjoyed watching. So what it doesn't show what really happened? First of all, nobody can prove that he knows what trully happened and furthermore, it's more interesting to watch an original movie than an adaptation.

Troy looked good, my Mother taught a class on lit and they went and saw it and said it was good. Is it on dvd? Might rent it soon.

Yesterday watched The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
Policy and politics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> Good movie though.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think that's either:

Day of the Woman (1978)
or
I Spit on Your Grave 2: Savage Vengeance (1993)

@ Spick. btw, how was it?

Troy

Really a good Movie. One of the few i like to see Brad Pit.

Troy is indeed a good movie.I can't wait for Rush Hour 3 to appear.Really liked the first and second part.I like that Chris Tucker guy.

I watched a good old 1976 classic 'Murder by Death'.

Ah, fond memories and a lot of laughs if you know all of the famous Novel Crime Detectives.
Like Peter Sellers spoofing Charlie Chan but in this movie he was known as Sidney Wang. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah , Ice Rhyme, Hidalgo is a good movie!! Especially if you like horses and horses and horses...
Yesterday, i watched "The Village". Very good also, good story, very original, but didn't like the way it ended. Wish it had more monsters <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

Today I saw 50 First Dates.Good movie.comedy-romance type.

I saw the last week this movies:

Spartan (nothing special)
Bourne Supremacy (very good)
King Arthur (good, but rather predictable if u have seen other "epic history movies")
Out of time (watched it for the second time, really good movie)

and watched butterfly effect, which is really really great, never tought Ashton Kutcher could play such a good dramatic role, he surprised me there, story is very good)

I cried through the entire movie of Hidalgo. Who would have known that people could be so cruel. I think there were 3 decent people in the whole thing!

Monsters are people too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

And people are monsters too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

I rented "The Terminal". I didn't have high hopes for that since Tom Hanks's last fiasco "The Ladykillers". But It surprised me well. Very charming Tom and original story. Really a "one to watch" movie!!
@ Lady Sarah
Yes, Hidalgo was really touching. I cried also when the horse fell in to that pit and got a speer in his shoulder. And than when he (Viggo)had to shoot her... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

I knew that! But didn't want to spoil it for the rest. Now you did <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
And Hidalgo was a he, I believe?? Because someone said that if the horse would jump on one of other horses, the breed would be spoiled and the baby horse and the father would be killed. You didn't pay much attention, Lews <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I was eating food in the movie! Not paying attention! The Vice President of PIF has more important things to do at a movie then watch it!

Just saw "clue" hilarious movie, I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

I tought u had more important things to do to then watch when a movie is playing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I was uh... uh... doing my imporant works while it was happening.

Funny, vice-piresident.
Or president of vices.

Person in charge of the vices.... Intresting...

Saw "New York Minute" yesterday.The Olsen twins played in it.It's worth seeing.It's about the relationship between the twins,how do they get along and stuff.

Great scandal happened yesterday!!!!
I was watching "The Bourne Supremacy" and I fell asleep!! Couldn't keep my eyes open and it was only past 21.30h!! Well, maybe some other time, tonight I'm gonna watch "Hero". From the same producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
I just love the martial arts in those kind of movies, like a fairytale with martial arts. I hope it's good.

I watched "Spy Game" with Brad Pitt and Robert Redford and some female actress I don't know yesterday (or the day before? Not sure anymore...nevermind!).

I was watching "Legally Blond" yesterday. Finally a movie that get's me going. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

We had a full movie night yesterday. There was "Independece day", "Along came the spider" and "Crossroads". I watched the first one and the last one. I was pleasantly surprised by Britney Spears. She is not such a bad actress as I tought, the movie was better than I expected. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I read that Barta would like us to talk about the movie with the main actors. Well, I'll start and do my best for her. "Independence Day" is from Roland Emmerich. The main actors are Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, etc
"Along came the spider" is from I-don't-remember and with Morgan Freeman. (Didn't watched it properly, only during the commercialbreaks)
And earlier in the evening there wa "Crossroads" with Britney Spears. That's about it I can tell you about them. Bye <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Seen the grudge after my exams (before the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> party )

What a funny movie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> Great movie . Does any one know where I can get the moaning sound that was on the phone Would like to scare some people .

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

I just watched Dawn Of the Dead, very good movie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I want to see Shawn of the Dead.

I saw "Collateral". Well, actually, I didn't finish it because I got to tired, but the part I did see wasn't bad!!
@ Merendrious
weren't you supposed to be in Austria for your snowboard vacation? Or are you back allready? Sorry if you are, didn't notice you were gone though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

I saw that, where did you leave off?

I saw Donnie Darco yesterday. Don't know any actors in it (exept Drew Barrymore who played a teacher). It's kind of a strange movie, but whan can you expect when the main character's on pills apnd who's best firend is a grey bunny who tells him the worl's gonna end in a month? Good move though, definentlly worth seeing.

Übereil

Yes, Donny Darko is really good.
I like the art of Cameramoving.


Just see, "Mars Attacks" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

It's hard to say, I think it was after he shot that saxplayer? He was on his way to the 3rt victim. I still have to finish the movie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

But I saw "catwoman". Not bad, but the computeranimations were a little too fake, you could see it too much that it was computeranimated. But the movie on itselve wasn't bad at all.

Saturdaynight, I'm gonna watch "Vanillasky". I hope it's good?

mars attacks, rofl. I was talking about it just the other day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Just saw Farenheit 9/11. Good movie, Micael Moore sais some really good stuff (espessially about the Iraq war).

Übereil

I did see "Vanillasky" but it was very confusing. Maybe I have to see the movie again, it wasn't that bad so I'll give it another try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I saw Collateral (bleh) and The Village (semi-good) this weekend

Hahaha, I still never finished "Collateral"!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

But I have a great suggestion for all you guys!! "White Chicks" I saw it last night, very funny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> , a satire on the Hiltonsisters!! A "MUST SEE" !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I saw Independence Day. It was funny occasionally, in the beginning, but then it just turned into a punchpatriotic propaganda for mankind, which was so extreme it was ridicioullous (sp?).

Übereil

yeah, awesome movie that White Chicks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />, and meet the fockers is also very very good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I just rented two DVD’s over the weekend.
They were “SAW” and “The Forgotten”.
Wow!
They were both great!
“SAW’s” ending creeped me out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> so much I was glad to have “The Forgotten” to watch after it and then “The Forgotten” just blew me away! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />
Both are great movies if you like suspense and intrigue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I’ve been watching the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon series as of late
and I must say, although the cartooning is a bit dated,
its style reminds me of the old Hercules cartoon series of the 60’s,
but the story is just absolutely fantastic!

Job well done in my book. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Weel, I must say in my two weeks away from the forum, I sure did see a lot of movies.
While you were sleeping (Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman)
Catwoman (Halle Berry)
Cold Mountain (Jude Law, Renee Zellweger and Nicole Kidman)
The LOTR (I've finished the first two and starting tomorrow the thirth one) (do I need to tell who starred in that??)
Finding Nemo (Nemo, Marlin and Dory <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )
Bits and pieces of the "Passion Of Christ", at school on good friday, but most teenagers (around ages of 16,17) throw up and I had to clean the mess, yuk!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
White chicks
The diary of Ellen Rimbauer (Stephen King, about the haunted house 'The Rose Red')
That's about it I guess...

I've seen the following movies last weekend:

- Alien Versus Predator: Very nice and entertaining, good pace, nothing more
- Forgotten: Good movie, nice story and the pace is also good, it doesn't get boring or so
- The Incredibles: SUPERB MOVIE !! Nice story, very funny... it's been a long time since i've been able to laugh SO MUCH with just 1 movie. a definate must-buy for my DVD collection

The Incredibles DVD, I loved it altho I'm kinda dissapointed with the fack there's dead in a movie intented for children to. (dead super)(Synthetic gets succed in a jet-engine)

Well, I finally got to see Bridget Jones; The Edge Of Reason.
I had lots of fun with it. She reminds me soo much of me, I can act really blond somethimes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (I loooove Renee Zellweger) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
The next one I saw wasn't that funny at all. It was an Italian film called Io non o paura (I'm not scared) Very good and also very sad. I felt soo sorry for that little boy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />


I'm ok now, thanks for asking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I've finally gotten around to watching Hellboy. Had the DVD for over a month before bothering to watch it.

I had my reservations but it was quite entertaining...There's something I've always liked about a cosmic horror or god that could be summoned to destroy everything...ala lovecraft.

This should make you very happy to know that
Antonio Banderas is working on a sequel to ZORRO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

It should either be out around October or more
information about it will be out around October.

Hubby watch out! Zorro's back! habba habba habba...

Last night I watched on TCM a great (1959)
spanish movie subtitled in English called "Nazarin".
Man was that a great movie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Nazarin tells the story of Father Nazario (Francisco Rabal), a solemn, devout priest living amongst the poor in a turn-of-the-century rural Mexican village. The example he sets for the thieves, prostitutes, and beggars around his slum dwelling goes unappreciated at best; at every turn Nazario is mocked and taken advantage of. He remains gentle, though sanctimonious, in his efforts to live the lessons of Christ. Nazario befriends a suicidal girl, Beatriz (Marga Lopez), and takes in a streetwalker named Andara (Rita Macedo) who is wounded and bleeding after a knife fight in which she killed another prostitute. Church leaders defrock the priest after questioning him about the women, so he heads out on a pilgrimage to the countryside. The women follow as would-be disciples (or is it lovers?), and in his travels, Father Nazario continually finds that the pure Christianity he presents to his fellow man is both ineffectual and annoying.

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Yesterday I finally saw "Signs", the movie everyone said it was boring. Well, this was a better movie then "The Village". Allthough that movie wasn't bad, they shouldn't have taken the thrill out of it right away.
But in Signs I sat on the edge of my chair.
And the day before that i watched "Raising Helen". Funny comedy and guys, Kate Hudson really looks like a blond J-Lo!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Just saw fight club again.

One of the best movies ever. Like the flashback humor.

[edit]

damm broke the first rule

[/edit]

I've finally managed to watch Secret Window.
Most people said that they didn't like it, but thats because they didn't understand it, I think. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Personally, I thought that it had a nice twist, and a good story. The novelet had a different ending though. It was well made, and the fact that Johnny Depp just had to be a bit funny, was good too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

Add to that Electra (good but strange), The Incredibles (Disney is getting funner for all ages), and White Chicks (great, funny, gotta love the fact that noone notices the manliness of the disguised Waynes Bros.).

Killerzzz

I only get to see movies anymore when I'm ironing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> Ironic no??
My latest where Finding Neverland, The Last Emperor and Grease!! (btw, this was the first time in my life that I saw this musical, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> on me!!

I just saw the new War of the Worlds film.

I had my reservations about it at first but it turned out to be very good, despite the usual spielberg sentimentality scenes.

Also very hard to think of tom cruise as your average joe soap...but hey, the effects were amazing.

Glad to hear you liked my movie... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Haha, verry funny Killerzzz.

Ok, really I'm glad to hear you liked it because I was scared they were going to mess up a good story. I'm hoping to see it soon and now I am reassured that I will enjoy it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .

Killerzzz

Ironic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

On topic: http://www.lacunainc.com <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well it's a different story really...aliens aren't from Mars...story is about one guy and his kids...but it's good on its own merits.

Very loosely based on HG Wells original story...in the same way that any other alien invasion movie could be said to be very loosely based on it...

I.E. aliens attack earth... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

OK I have never really liked batman...but I saw Batman Begins over the long weekend and holy crap was it awesome...did you know batman was a samurai/ninja!?!?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Mullholean Drive (or something like that) by David Lynch. It was pretty weird, and I sure do not understand it all. The story is pretty complicated so I think I'll see it again sometime.

Übereil

Yaaaaay! I've finally seen War of the Worlds!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

And it was good. They did it very well and I'm glad they did.

Killerzzz

Liked war of the worlds too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
And in my opinion, it has a more logical and realistic ending then most other alien movies, when you think about it.

Too bad only there are some impossible things in the plot

@ Kejero
I think I saw a movie about that once. At least I think, because I seem to forget a lot of things lately... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

You know what movie is really great?? WATERWORLD, THE EUROPIAN VERSION!! Kevin Costner came to my street to make it!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Worst movie EVER!!!!! Waterworld was worse than Army of Darkness...

2001 was whorse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

He did something simillar about US after some "big disaster", where everything was destroyed (like in whaterworld). He became a postman in that movie. It was just as bad <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. Don't see it if you get the chance...

Übereil

one of the worst movies i saw in recent years was a disaster movie, where the earth stopt spinning, and they had to go to the core of the earth to detonate some nukes over there...
-the beginning was ok, but then ..what did the writer smoked that day?

or jeepers creepers.. cliché all the way.

Yesterday i have see "Battle Royale" in the long Version. Very impressing.

Sheesh I actual watched LotR 1,2 and 3 this was a very good experience, specially since I hadn't read the books for at least 2-3 years <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Way to go, Mea! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> Do you join the club of the LOTR lovers?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

I just finished with The Notebook. Excellent movie. Cried and cried... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

I know I have long ago. I've read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings (part 1-3), the Silmarillion, and the Unfinished Tales.

To stay on subject...

I really liked the way they did the special extended editions. They did a good job of putting the stuff from the books into the extended movies (as best as probably could be done I think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> ). Sure there are things they could have done differently, but don't we say that about all movies based on books?

Killerzzz

P.S.: MeaCulpa, doesn't your name mean "My fault"?

@Gal yeah I guess but nothing absolutely NOTHING beats Dungeons and Dragons ... well not yet anyway (oh and I didn't mean the movie, that was just sad)

@Killerzzz Roughly translated ... yes it does <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Since I just started playing BG (again, will try to take it more serious this time), I can say that there IS things that beats D&D. Espessially the old system. And I still think the Arcanumsystem was good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. Fallout's system worked too...

Übereil

i have read the reviews & they say the movie's very good; no clear distinction on good/bad, white/black; everyone has a reason for what they did. i saw a bit of it but yet to find the time & mood to really sit down & watch it.

The movie wasn't that bad, was it? It was, you know, weird and not too amazing.

I like to think of it as 'not good, not bad, watch it once and enjoy it, but never watch it again'.





I speak a bit of Spanish. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Took 2 years in highschool.

We watched two movies in spanish. We watched 'Frida', a movie based on the life of the artist 'Frida'. It was not bad, but it's not a movie you recommend to others. She had a fascinating life... a very odd life... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

We also watched 'Mary, Full of Grace'. It was another not bad movie, more likely to be recommended to others than 'Frida'. It actually had a pretty good story.

Killerzzz

@ Killerzzzz
You should take a look at the fav lyrics thread, I posted a song Mea Culpa from Enigma. I had hoped that Mea replied on it with some witty thoughts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yea I saw that, good stuff.

BTW, I just saw the movie 'The Shining'. I know its an old one, but I never got around to seeing it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Jack Nicholson is crazy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I liked the movie; had some interesting stuff to it (especially Nicholson's awsome acting).

Killerzzz

Gal, i know how crazy u are with martial arts films so .....

Seven Swords <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks a lot Janggut <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> I hope I can get my hands on that one, it looks like a real masterpiece.
I saw "Hero" a few days ago again and also "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". My next film on my list is "The House of The Flying Daggers".
To me Martial Arts is like dancing in the sky, or lighty flying throught the sky, like elves. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

House of Flying Daggers is very good...

The scenery is beautiful!

I watched Stepford Wives tonight. I really enjoyed the ending. Nicole Kidman was wonderful. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

Bram Stoke's Dracula. It's a vampiremovie. Spookier than most vampiremovies. It's based on the old classical Draculabook, I think.

Übereil

I went to the movies yesterday night (the new complex in Roeselare) and I saw 'War of the Worlds'. WOOOOW!!!
I was very impressed by this movie and also from Dakota Fanning. She is really a natural talent.
This is one of the best movies I ever saw. You really have to see it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

@ Lady Sarah
The "Stepford Wives" is a great movie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I went to the movies and saw ... *drum roll* ... The Fantastic Four!

It was pretty good, funny. I liked it; I'd watch it again. They did a really good job with how everyone was coping with the change. And I wont say more as to not spoil anything for those who have not watched it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Also, belive it or not, I just saw Road Trip. *gasp* he's only watched it just now? Yup, first time. Very funny. Thats all that need be said.

Then, Club Dread. I forgot this movie existed. It was funny, but its not a movie you watch again and again and again and again and again etcetera. Its just a movie you watch again and again and thats it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ooo ooo! I watched a very good black and white movie called THE BAT with Vincent Price, a remarkable actor for his time. He acted in those old movies like the actors today. Amazing on his part. I was very impressed. I've also watched HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL that had him in it (not the new one, the original). Very good actor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> These movies were made in the '50s!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

a new complex in roeselare? cityscoop seems so crappy from on the train :o

Yeah Dragh, this new complex is only a month old, so I don't know if you saw that already. It's only a few meters from the old Cityscoop. I like the red carpets all over the place and the new seats are just perfect!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> (they have even cupholders to hold your drinks!!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I rented 5 movies...

Be Cool: It was a funny movie, and all about keeping it cool. I was expecting more, but it was acceptible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Many big actors. I think Get Shorty was better (the prequal).

Wayne's World 2: Also funny. With Mike Myers and the guy from The Master of Disguise, it was 'odd and fun, all in one'! Yaay, a rhyme! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> I actually haven't seen the first one...

Cursed: It was not bad. They had very good ideas and put the old fashionned werewolf type concept in too. It was more of a funny-horror though; sort of the way the Scream trio was a funny scare. I was hoping for a darkness type horror with no happiness... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> Yea, thats what a horror is supposed to be. Sort of like The Ring or The Grudge. Oh well, good enough.

Assult On Presinct 13: Very good! This one I was impressed with. Good acting. Good action. Good stuff. This action packed movie is a must see! I'm a commercial!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

AppleSeed: This is an Anime-type movie. Most people think: "Eww, its a cartoon so it sucks!" but they don't know that the Anime movies are actually some of the best. They are very artistic and symbolic, and always have amazing storylines (at least the action ones do). This one fits all my compliments. Incidently, I also recommend Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within. Both have tones of action, sybolism, and a great story. Also the Cowboy Beebop movie. But of course you can't be one of those over critical type of people to appreciate the sybolism in these movies. You can't disreguard their greatness because they're cartoons.

Killerzzz

@ killerzzz
We defenitly do not share the same interest in movies <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />


I saw "Alexander", I expected more of this movie, but it was good to watch on a rainy day.
I also watched "Fiddler on the Roof" again. It was since my childhood that I saw the movie, and I still liked it very much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

If I were a rich man... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

i saw 2 movies today.
1 at the theaters, the fantastic 4.
i loved the F4, because i collected all of theire commics when i was a bit younger.
ofcours the movie takes a different story then the books have told. but i can see many parts of the commic stories, wich the story writers have pasted in the main movie. this is defenitely not the latest movie , because of the end plot.(if the movie makes enought monney that is...)

and one just finished watching; ghost in the shell2. lot's of philosofical talk, matrix style. beautifull made. but hard to follow...

I saw Constantine and Meet The Fockers last weekend.

Const. was ok, not awsome but entertaining.
MTF on the other hand was bad. hardly laughed at all, it's not a worthy sequel. Rober DN and Dustin H Make it ok though

I watched "Colditz" yesterday. It's a mini serie about some soldiers in the second WW. Was very good. One of the starring characters played also in Band of Brothers.
If you like the WWII theme, you should go for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

i saw the origional movie.
so i gess that the PLOT /story is about yhe same is the first movie.
but then again..everybody knew that titanic sunk too...
so W.O.T.W is my next movie tio see.

what about hichakers guide to the galaxy?
i know it's made of a book,
but what can i espect of the movie?
is it a commedy, horror ,pure science fiction,, documentry...???

i just saw armageddon..
few, what a big dissapointment that is!!
The thing that happend on that commet, was a bit too mutch of it.
if it was a scifi-movie, some things could be true.
but it was a disaster movie with the equipment of this time..
and that was a big bummer....

Last night I watched The Ninth Configuration, a (hilarious) comedy and 'theological thriller', for the fourth time. This is the only movie I ever watched twice in a row (of course I've watched a movie and special features back to back; with Final Fantasy I even watched the movie and 2 of the 3 full length commentaries in a row). There are a few WTF moments that you don't get until the end of the movie (if you haven't seen it before) and stuff going on you don't necessarily catch all of right away.
It is set in an insane asylum towards the end of the Vietnam war, with one of the inmates adapting the works of Shakespeare for dogs. The 2 main characters (primarily) get into the nature of good and evil and whether or not god exists (would go well with the Evolution vs creationism topic). It has a bit of a sucky ending, but overall it is a very good movie.


After that I watched Laser Mission, about a freelance agent sent to "...recover the scientist who holds the deadly formula that could destroy the world". The scientist in question is a physicist who worked on lasers, kidnapped to force into developing a weapon using his knowledge and the largest diamond in the world (fist sized).
If rubies can be used to make lasers, then obviously diamonds make the best lasers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
This movie features bad acting, bad dialog, bad writing and bad special effects... all the things that make a good B movie. Even though it stars Brandon Lee, there are only a couple of fights, and they are poorly done. Overall it is an ok B movie, but needs fewer car chases and more martial arts.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" /> Oh well, at least we both got The Lord of the Rings .
MAKE A THE HOBBIT MOVIE !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> So Galadriel, what type of movies do you like?

The Bean


So the Ghost in the Shell movies are good? I'm looking into watching them.



Really? I actually very much enjoyed that movie. Oh well. Clash of interests.

Viper


YES! YES! I know so many people who are trying to defend it because of its Meet The Parents past. They can't accept it was bad yet... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I love to rent 5 movies from Eye On Video. So I'll advertise for them a bit before I start my movie criticisms. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Five old movies for 5$!
Five relatively new movies for 10$!
Those are the '5' deals. Nice huh?

So, the five I watched...

The Life Aquatic : I was extreamly dissapointed. How could they screw up with so many good actors. I... I didn't know it was possible, OK? Sure there were a few parts that you'll give a polite laugh too so you don't hurt the movies feelings, but over all it sucked. Way too booring. I was sad... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

The Day After Tomorrow : Not the first time I've seen it. It was very interesting. Some people were overcritical about it, saying it wasn't interesting, but I beg to differ. The most fascinating part is that it makes some scientific sense that it may happen in the future! I love it when the movies can have some sort of true or untrue scientific evidence that the event is possible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hitch : Again, not for the first time. I was dissapointed again. Not that it wasn't good. I was just expecting better. It was funny, oh yes. And had a good storyline. There was just too much falling in love! Its all well and good, but not what I want to be entertained with! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> But, I'll say again, just because I didn't enjoy it, it doesn't mean it was a bad movie.

Friday Night Lights : A very well done movie, though I wasn't surprised when... <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> they lost in the end </span> . Its happend in too many movies already to be a big surprise anymore. But overall it was good in story and sports action.

Full Metal Alchemist - The Curse : I know this is a series, but I rented it as a movie so I'll refer to it as one! It is the first four episodes. Another Anime (can't get enough! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ). It was very good. It contains some of the childish fun that alot of Anime series have, but it also carried with it an awsome story and great stuff.

P.S.: Know what I find unfortunate? Alot of people think Anime is pornographic because of some unexpected pop-ups you see on the internet with the word ANIME stamped on it. Please don't get the wrong impression. I've mentioned many anime movies farther up that don't contain a hint of that type of vulgarity.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> I know I'm defending anime alot, but I only do that because it is less known of. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Just saw Memento for the first time (sacralidge I know). I absolutly loved this movie. Kudos to the cast. This one is going on my list of best movies ever

@ Killerzzz
Well, LOTR is defenitly my favo movie of all times!! Nothing can beat that trilogy!!
And then there is also Forrest Gump, on my top 20 list. I have seen that movie like 30 times and I still love it! "One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months..."
From there on, I have such a variety on tastes, but something that is not my taste, is the kind of movies like Wayne's World, or Naked Gun (nothing with Leslie Nielsen in it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ) or Porky's, that kind a humour is not for me. Also types like Married with Children are good to make me vomit!
If you want to make me laugh, give me a show like Friends or SATC. And I do have a big taste in movies, movies is my favo topic to talk about! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Galadriel


I agree that they can be very... unlikable. I like to be open with my opinions of movies. The fact that I said that The Life Aquatic was a little funny is an example of that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> I didn't really enjoy Wayne's World 2 as much as a movie should make me entertained.
On that note, I'm even now not so entertained by Austin Powers 1 and 2. I find three funny, but all the first two have for me are a few good funny parts. The others are just cheap laughs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

You metionned you liked Forest Gump. Have you seen The Green Mile (also with Tom Hanks)? That was also a good one. The only kind of movie I don't like is the type where theres no good story. If theres a good story, then I'll enjoy it. No action needed, no comedy needed (though they help); just a good story and some interesting theories.



To stay on subject of this thread...:

I've watched The Langoliers lately. It could easily be classified as boring if you can't appreciate the amazing idea and story and theories it contains. I liked it. Though the cruddy graphics of the actual Langoliers in the movie do the book no justice.

Killerzzz

I think I saw most of Tom Hanks's movies. From Splash, Joe versus the volcano, Sleepless in Seattle to The Terminal, Cast away, and even The ladykillers, allthought that last one was not really one of his best, it was actually one of is worst movies ever, if I may say so. I loved the Green Mile, especially the big black guy in it, Michael Clarke Duncan, he was just that kind of teddybear that you would keep hugging <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I had fun with what the guards did to Percy Wetmore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

If there is a comedy that would alawys make me laugh, it's one with Jacky Chan in it. He is sooo funny, even if he acts very serious, you can see in his face that he like to have fun. He has those twinklings in his eyes... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

Yaaaay Jackie Chan. Yea, I think its spelled Jackie . Iunno.

His movies are always funny, especially his older ones. I enjoyed his newer ones, but they have been going a little downhill rather than up... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> Too bad.


Latest movie I've seen:

Wedding Crashers !!!! Extremely funny movie. Too bad it all had to be sexual funny. It doesn't bother me, but then you can't enjoy it with a lot of other people who are offended by it... Meh, oh well. Good movie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

ahah! someone who likes anime. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

killerz, since u've watched the first 4 chapters of Full Metal Alchemist, i suggest u finish the whole series or at least season. if i am not mistaken, it has about 4 or 5 seasons total.

u cna always write your views & reviews on anime film or series in the anime thread. i can't recall the link. will find it & let u know soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And I thought it was going to be one of those 1 season thingies... Oh well, guess I've got alot of watching to do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

By the way, I think the Anime thread you are talking about is here:

Best animated show

...or is there one for just Anime and not any animated stuff? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

Anime thread is quite self-explanatory. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I saw "The Clan of the Cavebear" yesterday. It's with Daryll Hannah (Kill Bill 1&2, Splash etc...and Pamela Reed (from "Kindergarten cop"). Allthought it was an older movie, from 1986 I guess, I still liked it.

Big guy? Speaks with a stiff german accent? Then I kinow who it is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. He was in Terminator too...

Just saw sin city. If you like pulp fiction you will love Sin city. The dark cold world of sin city and the color effects are fantastic.

Hitler said something like that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />... But his was more: The bigger the lie, the likelier people will believe it.

Just watched an absolute ANCIENT movie... but still a good one...

The pit and the pendulum.....

Unlike the book (which was the reason i wanted to see it), it has nothing to do with a sick person's ravings about torture... it was about the 1600's church... and the witch burnings....

A young couple, gets seperated in a crowd.... a priest sees the girl, and takes a "liking" to her.... has her imprisoned for witchcraft.... her husband tries to free her, and gets imprisoned for that.... The priest naturally, makes sure that she gets convicted (if you could call it a trial), of the said witchcraft. Since she is now HIS prisoner, he takes advantage of the situation, and tries to tempt her into bedding with him, in return for her freedom... She doesnt (neither would I, he was UGLY), but later on, he does force her to...... he also cuts out her tounge so that she cannot speak of the wrong done to her.

Long story short... she DOES eventually escape, after months of unspeakable toruture for her and her husband. And good prevailed when the priest died a horrible death in his own torture chamber.

Ubereil



Um... Ubereil, I think your talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Pamela Reed is a woman... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

It was in the scene where the senator confronts Hartigan. He tells him he could shoot him right here and now and no one would dare oppose him

That was the movie I was talking about a little while ago! I still have bad dreams about that movie. The way the sword was hanging above his bed, when he takes those scissors to cut off her tongue, when the inquision undressed her and made fingerprints on her body, so she would have the marks. It has been over 8 years since I saw that movie, but I still can't forget about it. It was one of the most horrifying movies for me, especially because things like that really happened. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

I've just watched Race To Freedom on T.V. It's a movie based on the book Underground To Canada . Both the book and the movie were very well done. It's not for all the action fanats, but its got a really good story.

Again on television, I saw Double Take . Another very good movie, for everyone who enjoys a clean, funny, action movie. Watch it. You don't know who to trust, and who to avoid. It's twisted and turining. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I rented 5 movies again today, (or yesterday, givin its 1:30 in the morning <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ) but I'll put them all in one post later once I've watched them all. Two down, three to go... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I've also watched Dragon Ball Z: Brolly, the Second Comming . I like DBZ. A good series and the movies are fun too. There's action and a bit of little jokes in there for dramatic relief. I think that in this particular movie, (#10) they put too much comedy and not enough crazy Brolly action. Oh, well...

Killerzzz

Been watching "the 4400" (pilot movie plus the first season episodes) this week....


WOW.... what a mind rush!!!! Worth seeing anytime <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

saw the final cut yesterday... ok movie, nice enough to forget time, nothing special though, then i watched a series un unfortunate events... hmm not good enough, a bit dissapointing.

the day before I saw alexander. quit it after 80 mins, boring as hell, then i watched the grudge... ok but if you watched the trailers... you've seen the movie

@ Viper
To make a long story short, there wasn't one good movie between all of them? Poor boy, maybe you should ask a pro before you rent movies? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I saw Bad Boy Bubby the other night. That was really good. It's about Bubby. Bubby has been locked in his one room apartment for 35 years by his selfish mother. All he understands is what his mother teaches him, just enough to keep control over him through fear. Bubby's father returns one day, not even knowing that he got the mother pregnant. Bubby is soon forgotten as mother now has a more human companion. Left to his own devices, he tries to learn to live in society, having no social, language or life skills. Of course, no one realises his predicament, thinking he is simply a retard or a sicko (perverted, creepy person.) It's amazing how he manages to get along and begin to learn, despite the number of crimes he unwittingly comits. It's full of sick and twisted ideas, but even the squirmish just has to see what happens next. Highly recommended.

Still watching those 5 movies I'll put into one post later.

For now, one from the movies:

Red Eye : A very good thriller (or drama, I've heard it called both <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ). Full of suspence. I liked it, and so did my bros. and my dad. "What's going to happen next? Can this end well? Ooooooo!!!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I would recommend it. I hear it's being called the #2 movie out in theatres right now (just after Wedding Crashers ). That fact is understandible. It's also great that you watch the movie and say: "Whoa! That could really happen!!" There's no farfeched garbage. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Watch and enjoy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

I just saw "Broken Flowers" and it was excellent. Bill Murray is a great actor. Highly recommended.

welcome to the forum, nakedlunch. i hope u brought dinner too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> btw, nice ava. is it brahmin from fallout?

You bet. One of the best games ever, dagnabbit!

Indeed. Now back on topic (I think you can acually dig a Fallout thread up in the RPG section...)!

Übereil

Here's the five (finally <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ):

Ghost in the Shell series: Episodes 1-4. Yea, I didn't find the movie yet, so I rented this set of the first four episodes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Its good. Not action-packed, but it has some good action, nice theories of the 'ghost in the machine' theory, among other things.

Hero : Jet Li! Why have you dissapointed me??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> It has a good story, it has a good actor, it has alot of artisticness. But the fighting... its so fake I cried. Its like one of those movies that are trying to make fun of old movies that did that. Oh well... and I was so hyped about watching that movie... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Godsend : Very well done. Its spooky, sad, mysterious, twisted, and connected together. You can't believe what just happened. Whats going on with the boy? Ooooo! Very nice. I recommend it for sure.

The Ninth Gate : It was weird. I really liked the puzzle hiddin in the books that Johnny Depp needs to uncover. Is the Ninth Gate a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, or is the dark secret more than just that? He adds in some funny parts, as usual. There are a few odd scenes, and I leave it at that. The whole idea for the adventure is good. I like the movies where people are killing for a secret that one person is trying to uncover.

Hearts in Atlantis : If you like movies that are about the not-so-happy life of a child who could be the average, than this is the movie for you. Its a family movie (Stephen King writing a family story? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Well, he did write The Green Mile. ) But this is not the average of such movies: it's written by the King. He adds the intersting stuff about the Low Men, and if you've read his books (particularily the Dark Tower series) then you may see a connection between this movie and some others (movies and books). A must watch for anyone who likes a family movie with a slight supernatural twist.

Killerzzz

P.S.: Galadriel, I think Hearts in Atlantis is one you'd like. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

P.P.S.: Ooo! I almost forgot. I just watched The Lord of the Rings extended trilogy again. I'd just like to point out what many already know. Its just beautiful. The most amazing movie-making I've seen, probably. And the extended scenes really help with stuff that the first set of movies had left out. I love it!!! Watch it and enjoy it!! If you can't enjoy this trilogy, I don't know how you can enjoy any movies at all. Bam!

@ killerzzz
Maybe I would, I will look for it the next time I'm in the videostore! Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



He also wrote "Eyes of the Dragon" for his daughter Naomi. Very nice story and very spooky too. It should be the story that follows on the "dark tower" series. But since I never read those... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />



I liked Hero, but that is because of the fighting scenes. I'm a great fan of those types of movies, because the fighting is more like a ballet, a dance, not agressive at all. It's artistic. I saw House of the Flying Daggers lately, and Crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon. If you have Ziyi Zhang in it, you can be sure that the scenes are very nice to see <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

so u've finally watched the series. is it the first season or the second? anyway, the series are called Standalone Complex. handefood has watched them as well (on the telly, i think) & he liked it. each series has 26 episodes, both are among the best series i've watched, anime or otherwise. the action is cerebral, the plots are intelligent - it's truly incredible.

fyi, the storylines in both seasons are mix of manga adaptations & original stuff. the adaptation from manga are not only from the original Ghost In The Shell manga, there are some stories in the series that are also adapted from the sequel of the original manga which is Man-Machine Interface (MMI).

Galadriel


Ah yes, Eyes of the Dragon was a great book.
But The Dark Tower was the most amazing book series I have ever read. Its the most fascinating, and outstanding story I have ever read (in my opinion). The ideas King comes up with are... wow. This is a must read for anyone who loves books with not nessesarily happy endings but a magnificent quest for good none-the-less. They end well and wrong, read'em to see what I mean.



I understand what you mean, and I find it respectful that you can appreciate the artisticness of that type of movie. I myself can't fully enjoy that particular type of art. The fact that you can shows you have a deep understanding of the beauty in what most simply find odd. Good for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> And that goes for anyone els who can truely appreciate that art.

janggut


I think it was the first series. It was called Stand Alone Complex. But I've only seen the first four episodes. Now I have to find the rest of the Ghost in the Shell movies and episodes, and the Full Metal Alchemist episodes. Its too much! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Oh well, I'll see them in time I think.


All The Rest


I've just watched The Ring 1 and 2. Whooo! Freeea-ky! At least the first one was. The second one wasn't nearly as scary. But they were both good. I think the whole thing was a very good idea, with a very good story.

Killerzzz

I read eyes of the dragon.

*shudder*

That's all I have to say about it.

i just rented the complete buck rogers television series.
Aaahh, good old SCIFI, at it's best!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

Thank you, never had a compliment in that direction before <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />



Sounds a lot like Forrest Gump, Lews <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

"And that's all I have to say about that."

But it gives also the idea that you didn't like the book that much? You have to be a fan of the fantasy genre, it's full of wizards and dragons and magic... hmm <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> , sounds a lot like a certain game we like to play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yesterday I saw a bit of the movie "Dogville" with Nicole Kidman, it was a very strange movie, about invisible houses and a very conservative communion allthought they rape her every night. I think I have to see this movie again, and not at 2 at night <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I found another great looking movie in the new videostore (closer where I gonna live soon) it's a martial arts with again Zihi Zhang, the movie is called "Musa the Warrior". I hope I will get to see my portion of "Martial Arts dance" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bday_jump.gif" alt="" />

I just saw Star Wars Episode V... something, Alrik or someone might fill you in on the rest of the title. Anyway, I found a flaw in the plot (for the otherwise so great episode I <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />). In the beginning, when Obi Wan Kenobi tells Luce to go to whatevertheplanetwascalled and see Yoda, he allso mentions that Yoda was the one who taught him to be a jedi! Explain THAT! (Note that he had another master in the first movie... And no, I don't remember his name...)

Übereil

Oh, no. I liked the book. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Dude Where's My Car -- Maybe I was wrong expecting... anything from this movie. Very stupid film. Sometimes, a movie is just so stupid that it becomes funny, but that didn't really happen here for me. I'd recommend it to people who are stupid, or who need excercise in being stupid. Has Ashton Kutcher in it (Kelso from that 70's) who makes Kelso look like a genius in comparison.

Lost In Translation -- Liked it, and I'm not even sure why. I had the same feeling with The Virgin Suicides (same director, Sofia Coppola). The performances in both movies are superb.

Band of Brothers -- Last episode aired last weekend here (for the second time though) and although I didn't feel it brings something we haven't seen before, it does bring it in the best way I've ever seen.

Sin City -- Great photography, extremely rough movie. Doesn't feel "Pulp Fiction" to me at all. Had the feeling it wasn't going anywhere for the first half of the movie, but in the end it seems cohesive afterall.

Mr and Mrs Smith -- Enjoyable but not very memorable movie. The couple Jolie-Pitt works <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That trailer for The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy -- Original trailer! Very funny. Not sure if the movie will be as funny though, but really, I have no way of knowing that.

wow, kej, i like lost in translation too. the soundtracks are really nice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

sin city is way way way far from pulp fiction in style or anything. but it's really nice. it's more of a collection of short stories to me.

as for the movie adaptation of douglas adams's book, i have yet to watch it. i missed it in the cinemas but i think i might go for dvd as the reviews have been very positive.

Technically, that's what it is (being based on Frank Miller's Sin City comics). And so will the two in pre-production sequels be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I loved this movie too. Check out one called Code 46. It's in cinemas here at the moment so it may be on DVD in the US. It has a similar feel to Lost in Translation. You like it and you can't quite say why.


It is a great movie! It's not the radio series, or the book, or the TV series. It's the Hollywood movie, so don't go in expecting it to be something else. Once you're past that, it's great fun! It's the only movie I've seen twice in the cinemas.

Ubereil


Its The Empire Strikes Back and I can explain your plot-flaw.

You see, it may have actually been Yoda who found Obi Wan and tought him the ways of the force before putting him under Qui Gon Jinn.

Or it was Yoda who taught him at the Jedi Acadamy as you see him doing for other youglings in episode II ( The Clone Wars ).

Or he could also be considering after <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> Qui Gon dies </span> and so Obi Wan might have trained under Yoda for a while during the testing to become a true Jedi.

I think the last idea is the least likely, and the second is the real reason.

So, I movie I've watched lately:

Sin City : I actually watched it today. Or... last night. Come to think of it, it started last night, and ended this morning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Well, I loved it. Great stories, great action, great job with the artisticness of the caracters and colours. Just great. The was some aspects were not-so-realistic sort of caught me off guard at first ( <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> Dang! That big guy got hit by a car like four times, head on, and got right up!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> </span> ) but I easily adapted it as the type of movie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I liked it and am buying it A.S.A.P.

Gunna watch XXX: State of the Union tomorrow, and will probably talk about it soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

Never thought I would see a film in 5 pieces!! Because of my busy work lately, I couldn't see "The Aviator" in one evening, so everytime when I had some spare time, I saw a piece of the movie. Let's just say, Leonardo plays very well, must be difficult to repeat those particular lines like 30 times, Cate Blanchett was not bad as Katherine Hepburn (but I like her more as Galadriel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )
The movie in general was good enough to see, and I'm not a big Leonardo-fan.

Movies I've just seen:

XXX: State of the Union : It's not as good as the first one, but it's decent enough as a sequal. Better as a sequal than Too Fast Too Furious was (I actually thought that movie was a failure; too much trying to be too ganster by all the caracters, weak acting, etcetera).

Starship Troopers : Not for the first time. It's a great movie. Well done, especially for its time. It's not too old, but its gettin' there (1997). I loved the ideas, the action, the all out crazyness. If you like action movies about a war against unstopping brutal insectoid aliens, than this is a movie for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

I've just seen The Brothers Grimm, directed by Terry Gilliam (Monty Python). Wonderful movie. Don't expect humor like in The Quest for the Holy Grail, this movie is a lot more serious. Some parts are still quite funny though.

I recommend this to anyone who likes good movies.

I've just remembered that I've seen The Brothers Grimm got too long ago.

I'd like to say that I agree with everything Rythok said. Their ideas were very nice. Its sort of like a 'dark side of the fairy tales' movie.

<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> The Gingerbread Man idea was terrible but amazing. </span> And whether anyone wants to believe me or not, a few years ago I had a dream where the exact thing happend, though I didn't think of the caracter as <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> the Gingerbread Man </span>, and there were less villagers and trees around. Srange huh? I had forgotten the dream, but when I saw the movie I thought: "WHOA! I've seen this somewhere before... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />"
Coincidence? Or are movie makers reading my dreams?!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Believe it or not Pac Man is being made into a movie. What kind of plot could it possibly have? Read about it here.

Those producers are like 15 years too late with that idea <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Equilibrium: Was better then I expected, since I'm no big fan of such sci-fi movies
Don't say a word: Very nice roll for Brittany Murphy, and I must say, I was sitting on the edge of my chair for a while...
Birth: Very well done, allthought I have a déja-vu with that other movie about reïncarnation ( Chances are ) but this one was far from funny. It wasn't the best movie I saw, but you have to give Nicole Kidman the credit she deserves, she played VERY good and that made up for the rest of the movie. Especially her facial expression in the theatre scene when the camera is focused on her for about 5 minutes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Far and Away: My favorite of the Cruise-Kidman movies, nice Irish accent (I just loooove that!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) and good story too, of course well played by the both of them.

Don't ask where I found the time to watch soo many movies, but it's sunday and the girl can be lazy for a chance, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I also saw "Sweet Home Alabama": nice romantic movie with the usual happy end <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Flight of the Phoenix: Awfully bad and unrealistic. There were so many issues that bothered me that I hardly felt like finishing it. There are so many movie clichés in this movie that it's just ridiculous.

The Gift: Paranormal drama starring Cate Blanchett, Gregg Kinnear, Keanu Reeves etc... I liked that movie, it had lots of scary moments and I liked Cate Blanchett as the psychic "fortune teller"
Once Upon A Time In Mexico: Very good actionmovie about the famous Il "Antonio Banderas" Mariachi and his girl Salma Hayek. I just love that movie, but it has mostly to do with the hottie in it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Do you still work Galadriel; You watch so many movies.

I hardly see you online. I miss you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> !!!

I just watched League of Extrodinary Gentlemen for the umpedieth time. I like how they take a bunch of classical tales and put them together (at least at some interval). What did I see there...

I truly hated that film - thought it was rubbish in the extreme - an interesting idea though, ruined.

"that guy who only dies upon looking at his own portrait " is based on

'The Picture of Dorian Gray' - by Oscar Wilde

The last film I've seen was an old old one.

The Dark Crystal - Jim hensons great fantasy story - with puppets (not muppets)!
Seen it a long time ago, just watched it again the other day.

I finally saw SIN CITY!

Heard good things about it so rented it on saturday!

Love the visual style...the film just looks amazing.

Also a damn good film as well - Mickey Rourke is brilliant as Marv, and his story was the best in the film. After that it slowed down a little too much but was still enjoyable.

Certainly recommended to anyone who like comic book violence and artistic style.

... and likes a total abscence of story and a whole lot of general nonense.

At least it's better than Advent Children: all the idiocy of Final Fantasy plus all of the DragonBall Z ridiculous things.
Advent Children was the last movie I saw and there isn't much to say about it except that I was extremely dissapointed, annoyed, aggravated and I want those 90 minutes of my life back.

I swa the girl next door (finally) and I must say that it's one of the better movies i've seen lately. Not because E. Cuthbert is so hot, but because I genuinly liked the movie. I never got bored, had a few laughs. Overall is't a whole lot better than some more recent movies i've seen.

Just watched "A Fistfull of Dollars" followed by "For A Few Dollars More" and I must say the later movie is simply the best western I've seen in my lifetime.

Flightplan

Saw it today. Suspenseful. Slightly implausible perhaps, but I enjoyed it.

Been watching Firefly episodes as if my life depended on it. Finally an innovative sci-fi series!

The next movie I WILL see is the new Wallace & Gromit movie that arrives here in Germany this month. YEAH ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I was watching "Gangs Of New York" yesterday. It's a very good but cruel movie. It's the first time I saw Daniel Day-Lewis as a very bad guy. I only know him from "The Last Of The Mohicans". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> Maybe I saw him in other movies too, but It's very possible that I forgot about them.
I love historic movies, and this is one of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Today I saw "28 Days Later". This movie wasn't very impressive to me. It's a bit like "been there, done that" kind of thing. The actors weren't playing that well and I only liked the performance of Brendan Gleeson in it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />

One of my favorite movies ever.

I saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and enjoyed it. It'a light, easy to watch movie, the characters and universe are interesting and it is visually very beautiful. Jim Carey doesn't exagerate too much. I loved his dinosaur imitation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

After that I watched Looking for Alexander ( Mémoires affectives ). The story is not particularly original and the rythm is slow, but the atmosphere and images are great. Not to be enjoyed by everyone, but I liked it.

Not long ago I also saw for the second time The Red Violin (Le violon rouge). It's original, very beautiful to see & hear; not an easy movie, though. It is known to be whether absolutely loved or the inverse; as for me, I enjoyed it too.

Alias Season 1, 2, 3, 4 all in ONE week!!!!

WALLACE AND GROMIT the curse of the wererabbit

it was excellent

Mind Hunters : Brilliant twisted movie. I like the way the killer works everyone against eachother. Mouahahahahaaaaa... Iehieheheheeehhh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> Who did it? Who did it? Who's the killer? You'll have to wait 'till the end, when all the traps have gone off, to find out.

Jurassic Park : I can never get tired of that one. I think its the best of the three. Its true that the second has more action, but this one has much more story, twists, reality, broken-dreams, emotion, etcetera. Its not just, kill kill kill, you know? It has more of a point to it, and is much more artistic.

Oh, I hope you're all ready for alot of movies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> I've been watching them lately, but forgetting to put it here. Now I must make up for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Van Helsing : Pretty good movie, I like the way they portrayed the acting of the vampires (weird, poetic,... artistic). Its very enjoyable, but the critics ripped it up because Hugh Jackman is basically playing a character who is the same as Wolverine in X-Men.

By this I mean: a man who is haunted by the past he forgets; who fights for a cause he does not understand; who meets the one man that can unlock his dark past, but who decides to destroy that man and his past with it because it shows he was a bad person. The the same basic thang. Other than that, yea I enjoyed the movie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

National Treasure : A good movie starring Nicolas Cage and Sean Bean. I like this particular treasure hunt movie. Nice fun history mixed with clues and peices of the puzzel, all soaked in a nice layar of crime and action. Mmmmm. Yum.

Sahara : Didn't like this one too much though. It was one of those movies where the hero was kinda 'too kool for school'. I dunno, I just had a bad vibe for it. The movie itself was well done, and I would recommend others to see it... but I just didn't like it and I can't explain why. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Ladder 49: Starring Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta. I liked this one. It was one of those movies about the tragedy and happiness of life, but of the life of a fireman. It had a nice pleasant story, a good deal of sad sceans and terrible tragedies, and the fires scenes are grate. They show the heroics of a firefighter nicely. I like how they go back and forth from the past to the current terrible thing thats happening.

Impostor : I really liked this one. Gary Sinise and Vincent D'Onofrio star in this sci-fi thriller. You'll be guessing who is right and how it will turn out in the end, but you will not see it comming. Even after they make you sure you were right on your guess, or wrong, they make you way wrong by throwing a hugemungus twist. Bam! "Think your right huh... well your not! Ha! Look what we did! Didn't see that comming did-j'ya?" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> I mean, even after you're done saying " Ooooh , thats what it was." they twist it even more until it feels like its gunna break!

Timeline : This moive excellently portrays the middle ages, and puts to shame all those other cruddy movies about people from the now who go back in time to the castles. In real life, you wouldn't be welcomed by the guards, and teach the king slang and to eat bubblegum or something. You'd be cut down! The arrows scene is very nice; anyone whos seen it knows what I mean. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

End of Days : Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I really liked how he had more character in this movie, than in his others. In his others, he's a super duper unstoppable killing machine. Here, he is a man, with feelings, a dark past, who has lost his faith, who must be smart to pull through. Very well done, and the few evil sexual scenes, are actually kinda necessary to complete the plot and the atmosphere of the movie, and to portray the character of the devil.

Big Mama's House : Martin Lawrence, funny guy. I've seen it before, but its a movie you can watch again, and agian, and again, and keep laughing. Undercover as a giant old woman, doin' his thang. Very, very funny. If you like Martin Lawrence's humor, than watch this. Now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />

Friday Night Lights : A pretty good football movie, but they don't get enough into the characters. Its mostly about the game and the teams progress to greatness. I liked Remember The Titans much better. It had a better deeper story, where the white players and black players learn to leave racism aside, and be freinds and play as a team. Then there's their path to greatness at the same time too.

Ocean's Twelve : Starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Matt Damon. Very funny, though I think I liked the first one better... no... I don't know. They both have their ups and downs. They're both good though. Its a bunch of guys doing massive stealing jobs and they all have their specialties. The great thing is that they are all a bunch of goofs, but who get the job done anyhow and play it cool even when things are really sucking. Its a really fun movie.

Secret Window : Starring Jonney Depp. A Stephen King thrillar. I really liked the madness and the pre-segnificance of all that follows. Its well played out, and Jonney manages to throw in a bit of humour. I liked the book much much better (more madness madness madness, sybolism, significance, tragedy) but hey, its always like that. They can't be expected to make it as good as the King writes it can they?

Cradle 2 The Grave : Jet Li!! Hayya!! A really good fighting-action movie. Jet Li is doin' his stuff great, and DMX plays his part very well. Good story, good action, good humour... good stuff. If you like Jet Li, this you must see.

Contract Killer : A much older moive of Jet Li, that was actually translated into english (or whatever you're watching it in, unless its chinese , then its not translated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ). I liked it. It has that old chinese movie humour that you see in alot of Jackie Chan's erlier movies, but it also has Jet Li's massive brutal fighting style.

Family Guy Presents -- Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story : Yaaay! Family Guy! Well, the movie was very very funny. But, of course, they had some slow parts. But you can't expect it to be none stop funny like in the episodes, when its a full legnth movie. The super funny jokes they have make up for any slowness though.

Unleashed : Jet Li again. I really liked this because it has amazing fighting action, compliments of Jet Li, but also has a good story to it. Some critics attacked the slow middle, where the more emotional part of the movie takes place, but the action makes up for it. Very well done, very nice.

Doom : The Rock and Karl Urban star in this one. Theres good sci-fi to be seen at the start to keep you buisy as the story begins and the action awaits. Then you start getting the thill and action going. The science continues, and evil is released. People were nervous about the first-person-shooter type view seen in commercials, but their is no need to worry. They only do it at one scene, for a good reason, and with good taste.

The Mask of Zorro : Starring Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Not for the first time, I enjoyed this movie. Ecellently portrayed Zorroness and action and humour and romance all jampacked into one. The atmosphere is awsome and the bluntness adds alot to the realisticness.

The Legend of Zorro : Starring Antonio Banderas, Rufus Sewell, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. I liked the first one better (better story, realisticness, atmosphere, story....) but this was a very good one too. Much fun and much action. A bit slower, but still there!


And thats all for now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> How many is that... 1... 2... 3... ... 20? About there. Wiew! Took a long time to write.

Star Wars Episode III : I had seen it in theatres, but we had a mini-family gettogether to watch this on my ucle's big screen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Very nice. I liked this one much more than Episodes I and II because it had alot of action, the war, the romance, and the push of the Dark Side. Very emotional one; the anger, the loss, the hate, the love, the fear, the terror...

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA oooh HAHAHAHAHHAHA haha haha oh!
Man that is so wrong, and so funny.

hey look, I made 10 posts!

Ok enough tomfoolery for now, we're busy here.

Oh, and to stay somewhat on topic, the last movie I've seen was Broken Flowers, by Jim Jarmusch. I light little nothing about a man (Bill Murray) who receives a love letter, but he doesn't know from whom. He then travels across the USA to find some old girlfriends. The ending was great.

bye bye

hey Wazzz, just a hunch here - have u watched Planet of The Apes? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

the latest i've watched is an old (by that i mean relatively old) movie called Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. funny movie & i love the cockney slangs. somehow dialogues done in english accent are more fun & interesting to listen to.

Dawn of the Dead The newer 2004 version, started off very good before the main titles started, then drifted off badly from there on in.
One new thing...The Zombies were all Olympic standard sprinters!!! Bleddy steroids i expect!

Wolf Creek – That was a great movie. I'm not usually a fan of horror movies, but this was really well done. Highly recommended!

Irriversable

*shivers* no matter how hard i tried... i could not watch the whole movie..... its just freaked me out....

Yeah, I only got about 10 minutes into that film. The spinning, then the fire extinguisher. That's all I could handle. Apparently it gets better after that, but I'll wait another day.

I saw Catch me if you can yesterday, with Tom Hanks and Leonardo di Caprio. It's about a checkfrauder, who is the youngest person ever to end up top on Americas most wanted list. It was quite good imo.

Übereil

Leonardo seems to be attracted to play roles where he can be a character that is either the youngest or the first in stuff. "Catch me if you can" was not bad, but I think it was more because of the performance of Tom Hanks, imo. You should try to watch "The Aviator" too, with Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn. She is beyond recognition from the Elf Galadriel to the actress Katherine Hepburn. Well done!

a woman hunted:

Woman gets busted for drugs, and loses custody of her kids.... goes through rehab and then tries to get custody of her kids again... but by sheer bad luck, she takes the wrong road, and ends up stuck in a area with no cell reception. A famous baseballer stops and offers to give her a lift to his house, and call a tow-truck from there.... where he rapes her and tries to kill her.... she gets the upperhand in a fight and he drowns in his own water-well.... but now the police comes looking for him, and her in a desperate attempt not to jeapordise her chance to regain custody, doesnt tell the story... (and for the rest you have to watch the movie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> )

So yeah I admit that I am a huge dork and I went and saw Goblet of Fire friday (opening night). But anyway...I have read all the books...multiple times and yeah dont get me wrong the movie was entertaining and all but it was way too much teen drama and not enough of telling the story. And of course having read the book I for some reason remember every little detail and the movie drove me crazy at how poorly it reflected the book. If you havent read any of them you will likely love the movie, personally I enjoy the books so much that since they changed directors after the second one I have not been impressed...oh and the casting of characters has bugged me too, everything is over dramatized...again too much teen drama not enough story...they try and fit so much of the crap in that the movie doesnt even feel coherent...they have to jump from scene to scene without so much as an indent!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

Having seen all the previous Harry Potter films, but never read the books, I could only judge them on what I saw without comparing them to the books.

Now I'm pretty sure I'd like the books to a point, but I thought all the films were terrible. The first 2 being particularly jumbled and incoherent. Watching them I could tell they tried to fit everything possible from the books in, and what happens is you get a mish-mashed load of scenes with gaps.

By the end of each one I thought what was all that about?

I remember when the first 2 films were out and I saw an interview with JK Rowling - they asked her about the films and what she thought of the adaption. Naturally she was diplomatic, her only comment about that in that interview was 'Well I like the mandrakes, I thought that was exactly how I imagined them.'

Thats 20 seconds of the 2nd film I think... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Plowie, so they did, but they did a terrible job at it too. They took scenes in the wrong turn, emphsised on the wrong things, while leaving some important things out completelly. I didn't like the first film, and I totally hated the second.

And if you've read a book so much you remember every detail of it (like me, who had read the first book like ten times when I saw the first movie), you shouldn't see it, because it will only dissappoint you.
Übereil

@ Plow

You should read the books, I may be 23 (almost 24!!! Dec 29th) but I have never enjoyed reading anything more. I literally laugh out loud while I read them. The story is enthralling as well. Let me put it this way, the 5th book (order of the Pheonix) is around 600 pages I think, maybe longer and I read it in less than 24 hours, I actually called in sick to work to finish it.

Best fantasy books ever IMO

The Weel of Time is better...

And the books is really easy to read. After all, first hand they ARE kids books. That's allso why the story is a bit... too comfortable. It allways starts after the whorst summer ever, and it the end it might allways be the best summer ever (you'd think he'd see a pattern after four summers seeming more promising than ever turning out whorse than ever...). But despite this, it is good books. I enjoyed them more a couple of years ago though (MUCH more). But still, I will wish for the sixth book this christmass. Wonder when I'll get time to read it though. Starting a big litteraturework in school soon, I'm supposed to read eight novels until May.

Übereil

I once saw/read a quote/interview with someone (don't recall who, and couldn't find the quote in a quick google search), who said something to the effect that 'watching your book being turned into a movie is like watching your child being torn apart by wild dogs'.

The ever enigmatic Raze makes another brilliant statement...funny too~! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />
I gave up on that series pretty quickly (after 3rd book) - wasn't for me.

My brother has read the potter books and says they are very good (and he's 34).

He also liked the Wheel of Time however...

Still I'd rather read the potter books because I know they are mainly for kids and enjoy them, than read the Wheel of Time and be dreadfully disappointed that they turned out to be too kiddie for me!

Saw 2 : Just as devilishly fascinating as the first one. Its grusome and disgusting but interesting to see the psychology of the man behind the trap. The Saw movies are basically about a man who kidnaps people who don't appreciate their life, and puts them in an amazing puzzel-situation. They will have to undertake much self-sacrifice and pain to get through. Will they?...

Harry Potter : The Goblet of Fire :

WHO SAID THIS? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> NERO?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />
I could't have put it better my man. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Its my thoughts exactly. You know what? They should have made it a half hour longer (its already 2 and a half hours long, what difference will a total of 3 hours make?); that way they could have added in alot more Harry Potter storyline.
If you agree, give me a 'Yay!' and if you don't, give a 'Nay!'.
One positive thing to say on it though: the new Dumbeldore did better in this one than he did in Harry Potter 3. Good for him, noone cares.
Enjoyed the movie though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Thats all for now.

@ Nero
You certainly are not a dork for seeing a Harry Potter movie. They are all about fantasy and magic, so be a boy for once and enjoy it. Have fun!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I'm watching Sin city as I speak, and I must say, the movie isn't bad at all, but a little too violent for me though. It made me think about that pc-game Max Payne too.
There was one thing that striked me the most.
You all know how our friend Mea is a big fan of Jessica alba, right? Well, allthough I don't know how Mea looks like, but I see a big resemblance with Hartigan here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Great stuff! Deliciously violent.

Mr and Mrs Smith - I think I have to watch it again!

Amen - to sum up what it's about I quote from wikipedia:

Kurt Gerstein (August 11, 1905 in Münster, Westfalia - July 25, 1945), was a member of the Institute for Hygiene of the Waffen-SS and witnessed mass murders in the concentration camps Belzec and Treblinka. He is said to have contacted a Swedish diplomat as well as members of the Catholic Church with contacts to Pope Pius XII in order to inform the international public about the holocaust. In 1945 he wrote the Gerstein Report about this. Afterward he committed suicide.

A semi-fictional movie about his emotional search of his Christian values and ultimate decision to betray the SS by attempting to expose the Holocaust by way of informing the Catholic Church, Amen, was released in 2002, starring Ulrich Tukur as Kurt Gerstein and directed by Costa-Gavras.

Great movie!

Ah yes, that was indeed a great film. Also starring Matthieu Kassovitch. One to see.

Matthieu Kassovitch is probably best known (well in Belgium anyway) for hir role in Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain.
One to see indeed Wazzz <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Saw The Usuall Suspects yesterday. It's about Kevin Spacey, who is a cripple and a scammer. The film is based around him sitting in a police office telling about what happened for the last two weeks (or so). It all started with five robbers (somewhat like him) being taken in for a stolen weapond transport.

DON'T READ THIS IF YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE (and if you havn't, I reccomend doing it, it was really good IMO):

I was wondering if anyone saw this new movie yet? It's not in our theatres yet.
"The Chronicles Of Narnia"
Suppoosed to be a crossing between LOTR and Harry Potter, but little is told here in Belgium. Did anyone in America or anywhere else saw that movie already?
Let me know!!

All I know is that it's based on the Narniabooks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. It's got quite good reviews, I'm thinking of seeing it acually...

Übereil

I find it quite disarming, but in a good way. It starts off not looking like a fantasy movie, but then the magic gets thrown in. Now, at the start of the magic, you may get worried that its just gunna be a kiddie story of a magestic land. Don't be. The story, the adventure, and the action soon to come are amazing; and amazingly done. I seriously thought they were going to mess up (it just looked possible with the commercials; you know how some are like that?) but they pulled through and made a very good movie. Yaay for them! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Only two days away from seeing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

I saw The Chronicles of Narnia last night with my wife and son. We all thought it was terrific. The actress who plays young Lucy is outstanding.

I'm going to see that film sometime next week with my mum I think. Havn't looked into exactlly when though...

I saw a movie yesterday. With Eija Wood. It was (and for all I know still is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />) about West Ham United's firm ie a bunch of West Ham hooligans. Eija Wood plays a guy who gets thrown out of Harward because of something his roomate did, and goes to London to meet his sister. His sister's husband's brother is the leader of the "firm" (as these orginizations is called), and he promises to take Eija (who isn't called Eija in the film) to a West Ham game. Of cause they get in a fight afterwars... Anyway, it's a good movi9e, especially if you like football (even though there isn't much football in it).

@ Übs

The movie that you are refurring to is Hooligans , right? I saw a preview on that one, but the idea of seeing Elijah Wood in such an agressive role isn't what I'm looking for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

Yup, that's the one.

I saw on DVD the flick 2046.
Yeah, that was pretty good.

The Tailor from Panama. Based on a John LeCarre book, it's about a spy (Pierce Brosnan) who goes to Panama to check on the canal (his last chance, after some big scandal). He goes to the town's best tailor, and asks him to fill him in on the situation in town. A good movie, kinda funny in it's own way (not that it aims on being funny, some of the scenes just is).

i just saw that Narnia movie.
it was awful...
the animations were very good, and it was exiting to see so much mythological creatures on the screen,
but there was no "red line" during the movie.
the battles were frustrating,
and what the hell did santa claus doing in the movie? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />
I was mad as hell, they put "christmas" in a fantasy setting!

so i was dissapointed about the movie, but not the animations

IIRC Santa is in the book. No doubt that is why he is in the movie.

Primer was surprisingly a very very good film - very cerebral. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Well I last watched KillBill 1. Am waititng for vol.2 to come out on video, Apart from the flashbacks at the start, I really enjoyed the film, nice to see an oriental based film without too many computed stunts added... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

By "video", do you mean VHS? It's been out on DVD for years.

yup, I mean VHS, DVD's are too new fangled...

I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire a few days ago, this is a must see on the big screen!! I loved the actionscenes, and there was more tension then ever in the previous movies. This was without a doubt the best HP movie ever!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Hehe... My brother, a highly paid robotics engineer, finally bought a DVD player about a year ago. The first thing they watched was Men in Black 2. After putting the disc in and watching the pretty little menu animations for a few minutes, his wife turned to him and whispered "I think it wants us to do something."


I'll give him credit that MiB2 doesn't have the most obvious menu. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just watched the new version of "War of the Worlds" on DVD.
The action was as to be expected, very spectacular, but the story line of I must save my children and get them to the other parents, is the same in almost any Disaster movie these days!!...7/10.

Since I've got a DVD now, and my bestfriend (who's got a big DVD-collection) knows this, I've watched quite a lot of film these last days. Two to be exact (maybe not that much, but two films in three days is a lot considered that I used to watch fewer than one film/week). The films where Miller's Crossing. A Choen-brothers movie, a gangstermovie this time. High quality as usuall with the Choen-brothers.

Nest movie was Mystic River (directed by Clint Eastwood, story after a book). A thriller, it circles around three friends. One of them got ciddnapped and used as a child (the first scene was the three kids writeing in wet cement, and one of them being lured into a car of someone claiming to be police for it), one other owns a store and one is a police. One day they find an empty car in their old neighbourhood (where two still live (not the police))...

I saw Lord of War last night. Really great movie!

Second that. Syriana is pretty good too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

& i am also glad Womble drops in as well! welcome back, old boy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Agreed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Oooh!! Womble's back!! Yippie!! Welcome back my cuddly bear! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug.gif" alt="" />

I watched Titanic last night on Valentine, with hubby. Cliché? Me don't think so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I wanted too hire "Schnitzelparadijs" today but i couldnt find the auction coupn wich made hiring movies almost free <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Ok, just the name alone, that really sounds like a movie I would NEVER rent, not even when it's the last one on earth, it's in that same genre as "Camping Cosmos", anyone recall this one? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Schnitzel ? It's a German word.

LEO translates it as

- cutlet
- escalope
- chip
- scrap

So this whole name doesn't make sense to me ...

schnitzel= some kind of marocan(?) food.
Paradijs= paradise

I heard from friends that its like a funnier version of shouf shouf habibe (i think all dutch ppl here know that 1).
Its a movie based on nothing, and i guess nothing will really happen too.

And if ne1 knows, the song by partysquad & opposites, Wat wil je doen is from that movie.

Dunno if it will be good, but i wanna see it some time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Today i saw the movie: Robin Hood: Men in tights (dunno the exact title). Quite lame with some funny moments

grttz

p.s. for all of you i only like crap movies ^.^. I like good 1s too, meh <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Edit: Partysqaud clip: http://www.thepartysquad.com/audio_video/82?wide=1 Was great hit here in holland

Yes you do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

'The Matador' featuring Pierce Brosnan

If you want to see Brosnan playing the 'anti-Bond' then watch this movie. I thought it was very cool. No real big action, but very watchable, and funny.

Other 'intellectual' movies

Good night and Good Luck-Factual. Clooney and Co. play the parts of NBC TV news reporters/editors in the McArthy era.
Enron-Documentary
Supersize me-Documentary
The Chumscrubber-very cool 'dissafected youth' movie, following in the wake of "Pump up the volume" and "Heathers" IMO. Disturbing and cool. Proably only available on video/DVD

I watched 'Crash'
I would have recommened you guys to watch it if I took sadistic pleasure in torturing others.
It's neither too good... nor too bad. Non linear story with mixed ending.

Crash was amazing. I thoroughly loved that film. Highly recommended!

i don't think so, because snitzel is made of porc meat.
it's very tasty, you can see it as a crispy layer around the meat, made of the same stuff like "krokets" (if that word even exist <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> )

I agree, they give you a view of what racism is like then show you horrible consiquences and amizing redemptions.



If you want to see a good Robin Hood moive, see Robin Hood: Prince of Theives.
With Kevin Kosner, I think. Very good one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

No no no can't be, i's a genuine German word. Or maybe Austrian. Or (German-speaking) Swiss. No other language possible except as an loan word.

At least Wienerschnitzel is famous (ate it when I was in Vienna. They had some variation of it with ham and cheese "baked in" which I liked better).

Übereil

The Wienerschnitzel you eat in Vienna is of course cause Vienna means Wiener in German. So the Wienerschnitzel is originally from Vienna, the other kind you like better is Cordon Bleu, I think this one is invented in France or even possibel in Belgium. It's the same but with a slice of ham and cheese in, very good but very heavy, I prefer Schnitzel with Turkey, mostly very flat, but soo crusty <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yes, Vienna is indeed the English name for Wien. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Austria's capital. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hmm, I seem to be smarter then I look, oh wait, does that came out all wrong now? But I do work hard though, I have to go shopping all day, putting clothes on my chihuahua Tinkerbell, and I have to match her shoes with my purse... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

One of the most fascinating things in life, is the way conversations can connect and connect until we get to the result.

For examle, we have gone from "The Latest Movie I Have Seen!!!" to "The Latest Bread I Have Tried From Around The World". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

So, as I don't like to be left out of stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />, I will mention that Vienna bread is my favorite. Butter it and heat it up, or chomp some down plain.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

Killerzzz

But the Vienna salad is really... drenched in vinegar ...

Übereil

Depends. On the restaurant where you get it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Not in Vienna <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />...

saw white chicks yesterday, was ok, not good. I think my friends liked him way more then i did...

Hostel presented by, but otherwise completely unrelated to, Quinten Tarrentino.

It's about a trio of backpackers searching for wild European women. They find said women, and then begin to dissappear one by one...

The first thirty to sixty minutes is crap. It's an assortment of soft porn and unnecessary R18+ graphic violence. The remaining thirty minutes is worth the wait. If the movie was rated MA15+, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. The violence really does detract from the film, unless that's your sort of thing.

I saw "Jarhead." I didn't like it. It's about an US marine sniper in the Desert Storm operation. Nobody gets killed.

Sniper is my fav weapon. But what's the use when nobody actually uses it for real.

I haven't seen it, but I had heard as much.

Man... how can they even think of making a war movie and not have anyone get killed? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

It's too bad, I was looking forward to it.

Killerzzz

V for vendetta. Good movie.

Inside man, about the perfect bank robbery

kinda good, but just for seeing once...

Finally saw Crash. Good movie, but certainly not briljant.

Final Destination 3. That is a great movie. I liked the first two, even though they had a really dodgy plot. I went into this one knowing that the plot would be dodgy and loved every minute of it.

saw 2, good movie but not so freaky as I expected

Last night we watched Alexandra's Project. It's an Australian movie and reminded me of Saw in some ways. It's about a guy who has it all. His jaded and depressed wife prepares a very elaborate and enlightening birthday present for him that changes his life forever. I don't want to say much more for fear of spoiling it.

Plan 9 from outer space...


yes, the original one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The pathetic one? So, how pathetic was it?

Übereil

I saw da vinci code, it was well done a good thinker <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I also saw X-Men III it was freakin awesome

well, as an X-men fan (I've read the commic's)
I was dissapointed about the movie.
the only thing this movie had was the special effects.
but the whole movie -storyline- was just plain terrible

a few I didn't like.
that helmet of juggernout (one of my favourite baddies)
WTH was that? it look like it was made of isolation foam!
phoenix, who had no real story line then just standing there and made her moves
the white neutralisation kid, who didn't play a big role in the movie.(atleast for me)
wolverine who just brutaly kills people off. (ok that wat he is, but the movie shows him like he is a real hero instead of a dark beast)
etc..

yeah, X3 does disappoint me as well, bean. a few issues not far off from yours;

1. no emotional connection to the characters, which makes it worse than the second. the first is the best in my opinion.
2. it's really nice to have so many characters in the movie but TOO many with TOO little time on them, it's a sin. they might as well be excluded.
3. i like the storyline; well thought out. however execution is another matter altogether; the dialogues suck monkey balls. hearing the lame lines written for a mature character like Magneto is like hearing fingernail scratching the blackboard.

overall, the movie is one of the decent ones so far this year, which means this year's movies so far have not much quality.

i've also watched 16 Blocks, which is quite a nice watch while not exactly brilliant piece of work. Bruce Willis, Mos Def, David Morse really made this movie shine with their brilliant acting. i love the dialogues in this one. & Mos Def's character, Eddie Bunker, is really good.

also watched a chinese movie called The Promise. this one, i feel, is something Gal would love to watch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> it is fantasy set in medieval China, with flying characters with superpowers, sacharine love story bit, flowery dialogues, & gorgeous gorgeous visuals. well admittedly, i am not into love story, much less sacharine types, but the breathtaking setting, location, colours, costumes really help make this movie very watchable.

[color:"orange"]i've also watched 16 Blocks[/color]

If you've seen The Gauntlet, how do they compare? From the commercial I saw for 16 Blocks, it looked like a remake.

i wish they could make a animation film, of the "infinity gauntlet"
imo, the best short commic series ever!

the premise does sound very familiar with 16 Blocks. however i don't think i've watched The Gauntlet yet though now that i've watched 16 Blocks, the Gauntlet seems an interesting watch as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i think i should check it out. anyways, if u want other reviews, u can always check out IGN's review of 16 Blocks, be it cinema or DVD (yep, it's out already).

Footloose on VT4 (Belgian tv) last friday I think
a great movie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Out Of Africa with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford

Flight of the Phoenix, The new version in Sky movies tonite.

Payback with the "mighty" Mel Gibson <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I don't find him all mighty anymore since his bad talk about the Jewish people and the Holocaust....

Saw Pirates of the Carribean, Dead Man's Chest, was awsome!! Much more action then in the first one, but soo funny too! A must-see!!

I saw Battle Royal. It's about a Japanese schoolclass who gets kidnapped and sent to a desert island. They get a weapond each, then they have three days to kill eachother. If everyone but one is not dead after the three days everyone dies.

V for Vendetta

I just lately saw the movie Serenity .

I was worried that it was going to be another screwup movie like so many that were appearing around that time, but it ended up being extreamly good. If you like Starwars or any of those other space movies/shows (minus any jedi action <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) this is something to see. I'm personally not a big fan of Star Trek , and I found this to be much more interesting.

Then again, a person who's watched Star Trek from the start would probably appreciate it more than me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

And I think someone mentionned before that this movie was of the TV show Firefly . Is it the same actors, style and just as interesting? If so, I should look it up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Killerzzz

I saw Saw the other night, have you seen Saw yet?? or do you even want to see Saw ?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Pirates of the Carribean 2
quite funny movie, good for a night of entertaining <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

tonight I'm going to have a Lotr marathon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> let's see if we can make it

i've finally watched M Night Shyamalan's The Village & it's not even half as bad as what people have said. in fact, i enjoyed the film as i think it's quite meaningful in its own way. i have to say it's not as lousy as Signs.

even if it's not the best from Shyamalan, it's still a good film to watch so don't let sour reviews stop u. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

and I've made it, started at 18.30 and ended around 04.00 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

The latesat movie I've seen was ERIK THE VIKING.
very funny.Made by the Monty Phython Group. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Ghost In The Shell: Standalone Complex - Solid State Society

premise: a follow-up after the second season of GITS: SAC series, this one takes place about 2 years after the Major left Section 9. more political intrigue with social issues to ponder. a thinking man's cyberpunk. this one's a movie, by the way.

verdict: what else can i say? it's pure sublime! from the visual to the story to the music to the characters. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

the DVD should be out sometime this year.

The latest Movie I`ve seen was James Bond: Casino Royale.
Very well but there was to less Action with Guns. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

In my opinion there was enough Gun-Action.
