Suprisingly, not terrible.

Just rented Collateral and Cellular.

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

 

Loved both.

boogeyman - started good but ended flat on its face...

 

 

 

Agree. I was hoping to be scared and I was like "hu...?" about half way.

Rented "The Machinist". Pretty good. Odd as well, but I bought it. Christian Bale is awesome. He lost 60 lbs for this role and is unreal.

 

 

 

I bought it the other day and haven't watched it yet. I did buy the anniversary edition of American Psycho and watched it again.. he was amazing in that movie. Looking forward to seeing him in Batman next week also.

Every once in a while, in a marriage, you have to 'take one for the team'. Last night was one of those nights. We went to see "Bewitched'.....that might very well be the worst movie I have ever seen.  Ya ever had such a bad time somewhere that you actually become angry?

 

 

Yes. The Forgotten.

Yes. The Forgotten.

 

Thx for tip, I've had that in my hand at the video store and haven't pulled the trigger.

I just saw Clerks for the first time tonight.  It's really incredible how good the writing was when considering how low budget this is. Kevin Smith really is a genius writer.

 

 

WOAH.. Where have you been for the last 11 years. That movie is a new classic.

Don't. No sense in risking a trigger pull to the temple after watching it.

Has anyone seen "Autofocus"?

It's the life story of the guy who played Hogan on Hogan's Heroes. Anyway, the guy was a sex addict. Greg Kinnear and Willem DaFoe do a pretty good job.

Not a great flick, but rather interesting.

Saw "Psycho" for the 1st time ever on Wednesday and it was awesome. Black and White movie rawk!

Saw 'the Wedding Crashers' today. Funny, not hilarious but if you're in the mood for it, it's worth the matinee price.

We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Friday nite. Very, very cool now. WAY better than the original.

I dug it. The ending dragged out more than I thought. More faithful to the book, except for the extra ending but it just looked very cool. I saw it on IMAX but would of been fine seeing it on regular sized screen.

posted this on film-talk.com felt it was worthwhile to put on here

 

This is my first live-action anime movie and I'm wondering if it is the first movie of it's kind. This is an incredibly creative, yet convoluted futuristic war epic apparently remade from an earlier anime film. The effects in some places were really great especially in the fight sequence between the neo-sapien robot army and Casshern. In contrast, the choreography of the fight scenes seemed very poor, even worse than that of Batman Begins. The effects on backgrounds and surroundings don't seem to rival those of Sin City, another movie done against green screens but are nonetheless impressive in detail. The plot of the film is very interesting for the first half but then after a false ending the movie become confusing, overlong and overly-dazzling. Also for a really cool costume and incredible powers the filmmakers fail to portray Casshern as a great hero, whether this was intended or not I don't know but I took issue it. Oh and did anyone else notice the reference to The Untouchables?

 

6/10

Also saw Gunner Palace a week or so ago. It wasn't the most compelling documentary with relatively low production values. Nonetheless I think it's currently the best portrait of the War in Iraq along with a few tv documentaries of the same subject. The filmmakers don't seem to take any certain political stance on the War as they leave it up to the soldiers to form the opinions expressed by this doc which are I'd say somewhat against American involvement in Iraq. Whether the directors chose soldiers with opinions to match their opinions or not is up for interpretation. Solid and educational doc.

Went and saw "The Island". I wasn't planning on it but saw some decent reviews so figured why not. Not bad, not great either. Summer popcorn movie. Typical stuff.

 

BTW, for those of you who are blind, Scarlett Johannsen is unbelievably hot.

man on fire - awesome, awesome flick.

constantine - it was alright. not great, not bad.

I believe there is a scene that she is in some underwear and she didn't like the look of them so she wanted to go nude but bay would not let her.

I read about that. They made her keep the bra on cuz they wanted a PG-13 rating. You really don't see her from the neck down in that scene anyway.

The more important question is why is Michael Bay still allowed to make films?

Wedding Crashers was okay, nothing special but it wasn't bad.

Because "Pearl Harbor" was Oscar material.

You'll be happy to hear that The Island only made a little over 4million on Friday. Only barely ahead of Bad News Bears and not even twice as much as Devil's Rejects.

Now I feel like a loser. I love the original Bad News Bears but want to see the remake cuz I liked Bad Santa.
