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="" />

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.

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.

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

Actually, to emphasize on my lazyness, I just noticed I forgot to mention another movie I've seen lately. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

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...

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.

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.

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="" />
