Larian Studios Forums General Chat Latest movie u have seen!!!

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.
