How did your GF find it?
Anyways, watched Reservoir Dogs yesterday. Was a little too gratituously profane for my liking-- seriously, does anyone actually speak like that? Sometimes they sound like eight year-olds who just learned the f-word. But otherwise, it was a pretty good movie. The ending scene was just heartwrenching.
The books?? She found the first one when she was in high school waaaay before it got as popular as it was... then the last came out and she couldn't stop talking about it. And then the movie.... She likes the books a lot so I decided to treat her out :2thumbsup: Laughed my butt off for more than half of the movie... Won't watch it again guaranteed :yes:

We all must have been used to Chinese products by now, whatever their quality. Man, they make everything, I mean every freaking thing! Finally they made their own Hamlet too. :shocked:
The Banquet is a very well made Chinese rip-off of Hamlet with really good photography, cinematography, choreography (and probably some other -ographies :rolleyes:), decent acting, consistent story and pretty ladies. :yes:
9/10

Quantum of Solace, despite the bad intro song and rushed feeling it was a good movie. The action scenes at the start were very well done. :2thumbsup:
Saw On Any Sunday. It's a documentary on motorcycle racing from 1971. Take all the good parts of Warren Miller's films about skiing, make it about motorcycling, and you have On Any Sunday, a look at motorcycling of all types.
A great film - I was entranced by it. But then, I do love motorcycling. Still, I think everyone would enjoy this movie - its got wonder and spectacle and focuses on that, not mechanics.
Like Warren Miller's latest ski film [Children of Winter, which is a overall good movie), it has a movie actor. Unlike Miller's film, On Any Sunday has an A list star who is actually talented at the focus of the movie (motorcycling), unlike Children of Winter, where the actor's appearance has nothing to do with skiing and we never even see him attempt to ski.
CR
High School Musical 3 (:yes:) - Awsome movie, ending was too dragged out though... the songs are definitely better than the previous two.
The Untouchables - Great story, great actors, and excellent theme music!
The Prestige - Absolutely brilliant, the secrets and the intrigues had me fooled till the end.
Quantum of Solace
pretty good movie, intro music sucked (as so many have said) but good action scenes, IMO.
yeah, it was much better.
A Bridge too far (1977)
excellent movie! historiacally accurate in terms of props and such, and exciting for the msot part. even had some traces of humor.
i recommend this movie to all who like WWII movies. not like those other 70's WWII movies where they use Patton tanks instead of shermans. they use the real deal!
^^ Agreed. It's one of my all-time favs.
I saw,
Tropic Thunder(with the dvd commentary :laugh4:)- It was hilarious as usual. The previews themselves where too funny in themselves(especially Downey's). There were sooo many one liners and puns and parodies that I couldn't stop laughing the whole way through. The entire cast melded together perfecty, from Notle to Cruise(who was way to dang funny). 10/10 ps. Downey stays in character for the commentary :laugh4:
Love & Sex- This is with John Favreau and Famke Janssen. I actually really like this movie (must be because I can relate to John's character :sweatdrop:). The best part is where he freaks out over Famke who their character's broke up with each other. 9.5/10

Perfume :2thumbsup: :elephant: :cheerleader:

Even better then the book.
RAVENOUS.
I think I reviewed it before but a rewatch warrents a re-review. Go watch this movie, one of the best dark-comedy's in years. It's about canabalism, eat a man to gain his strengh. It switches from horror to comedy on the fly, few philosophical ponderings here, bit fronteer-mytholigy there, awesome. Wild cast of characters, wouldn't be out of place in a tarantino movie in fact.

The Evil Dead. HAHAHAHA. What a terrible movie, supposedly a cult classic. Nowhere near. It's so bad it's funny. And the tree bit. LOL!
2/10
did anyone see the latest Punisher movie?
I saw American Gangster on DVD, I enjoyed it.
i have watched Tropic Thunder 4 times since it came out and cant get over three characters
1. The Pecker
2. Les Grossman
3. The explosives guy.
All of them have awesome quotes and I could watch it over and over
Just took my kidlet to see Bolt. It's formulaic, but still loads of fun for a kid's flick. You cannot help but love Rhino, the hamster in the ball, he was made mostly to keep the parents entertained and it worked very well. Best use of the 'good day to die' line ever.
Evil Dead is a pitch perfect B-movie dream; I loved it. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell knew exactly what kind of movie they were making, and if you even slightly take it seriously or expect something other than a B-movie then the failing is in you and not the film! You have to see EDII and Army of Darkness too for pure quotable, campy fun. "This is my BOOMSTICK!"
:egypt:
Lance ~;)
Quantum of Solace- Was okay... Good action scenes and the intro music... like many before me have said... was terrible :wall:
Muppets in Space- Been a while since I've seen some Muppet action. And I must say, I enjoyed it haha, not to mention the tons of cameos made throughout the entire movie.
I Am Legend- A really good movie (second time I've seen it), and I must say... I like the alt. ending more, the one they put in sucked.
Fight Club- I caught bits of it on television (censored of course) and I must say I can't wait to see the full version. Tho Brad Pitt's acting reminded me of his acting in 12 Monkey's.
Punisher: War Zone
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! ITS THE WORST ATTEMPT AT ANY MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!!
