Another Movie Discussion Thread

[M.O.T.H.]

I just recently rented 16 blocks and the wicker man.... 16 Blocks gets a thumbs up from me, anyone else see it? As for the Wicker Man, this piece of garbage gets nothing from me because, it doesnt deserve it.

Feel free to dicuss anything movie related in here.

[princefielder28]

sorry haven't seen either one :?

[snuff]

16 Blocks sucked.

[M.O.T.H.]

16 Blocks sucked.

I do agree it wasnt anything special but, I still enjoyed it.

Another one i just saw was, Silent Hill, now that was crap.

[Pit Bull #53]

I haven't seen The Wicker Man, but I heard it was crap, so I'm probably not going to.

[Pit Bull #53]

The last movie I saw was Something the Lord Made. Might be a little uneventful for some, but it was very good.

[AlexDown]

Last two movies I saw were

Children of Men and Heat

Both were pretty good.

I just saw Ocean's Twelve yesterday...

I was confused throughout the movie...might have to watch it again to connect a few mental dots. I liked Ocean's Eleven, but I don't know what I think about Twelve yet.

A decent enough movie, nothing special though.

And I just bought The Departed, a movie that better win Best Picture or I'll yell things at the Academy again.

[snuff]

You liked the Departed that much? I thought it was about a 7.5. Wasn't to impressed.

[keylime_5]

Last 2 films I've watched are Lady in the Water (which was very good, maybe Shamalayn's 2nd best one yet) and Ocean's Eleven finally, which was very good too (ripped off the Sting a little bit, especially Brad Pitt trying to mimic Redford, but if you're gonna rip a movie off that's the one to do).

Last film I saw in theathres was way back in August or September I saw Miami Vice with some friends.....that movie was complete crap and the most boring movie I've ever watched, it sucked big time.

I can't wait to see Spiderman 3 and Reno 911 Miami, and even Ghost Rider - that movie looks fun and Nick Cage usually makes entertaining films, plus I love comic books

[DHVF]

Last few movies I've seen

The Illusionist - Very solid, well put together movie. Thumbs up
Little Miss Sunshine - One of the better movies I've seen in awhile. Definite thumbs up

Miami Vice - Quite dissappointed in this, as I expected more. Thumbs down

My Top 5 Favorite Movies...

5. The Deer Hunter
4. Oldboy
3. Pulp Fiction
2. Memento
1. City of God

[Craigo]

Not that I even need to say it, but don't see Hannibal Rising. It blows. I saw it for free and it was actually worse than I thought it would be.

Memorable lines like "Memory is like a knife. It can hurt you."

[Space Ghost]

I watched Saving Private Ryan in Lunch/Science/Business today for the 10+ time and it was once again at least a 9.9/10, that movie is incredible. I also watched Sin City on the weekend for the 3rd or 4th time and it was still about a 7.5/10 for me. Forrest Gump I watched for the 20+ time a few weeks ago and it was still at least 9.9/10. I watched the Terminal or w/e and didn't come away as impressed as I thought I would be. I saw Swordfish on TBS this weekend and with TBS programing it was about an 8/10 standard it would be a 9/10 because instead of yelling Freak at a really intense moment he would have yelled Fu*k and it would have actually made sense, and you would get to see Halle Barry nekkid.

[A-Dub4President]

Just picked up The Descent and wow... what a great movie. Definitely was one of my favorites this year, was short and to the point with some great cinematography and set design. Reminded me alot of Deliverance... but in a cave... with mole people.

I watched The Deer Hunter last week for about the 500th time.

[Space Ghost]

I also wanted to say that the movie Surviving the Game with Ice-T was awesome. It was actually a complete ashtray, but Ice-T is the man, so I thought I'd give him some props in here instead of making another thread about an actor. Plus, I make very few threads anyways, I think I've made about 5 at the most outside of the mock draft section.

[WMD]

The Number 23 looks completely ********. It doesn't come across as anything but Jim Carey's "Butterfly Effect"

The new Jim Carey movie looks pretty cool, looking forward to seeing that.

If you liked Sin City, you'll like this one, I can guarantee it. Frank Miller is a such an awesome comicist (is that even a word?) :lol:

This one looks incredible. Possibly even better than Sin City! :shock:

[WMD]

Eternal Sunshine was a very good movie. #23 to me just looks like a 'thinking movie' for people who don't know real good movies... The "Norbit" Crowd, if you will.

His point was that Carey was never in The Butterfly Effect...

Anywho, I agree yoda, The Notebook and Fever Pitch are good movies.

[Staubach12]

The new Capote is awesome.

No, I meant that Eternal Sunshine was his "Butterfly Effect" movie.

But now I get what he's saying. And I can definately see that. A movie that acts like it's a smart, original, off the wall movie but it's not really.

We'll see about 23 though. I hope it's good, I thought Carrey was great in Eternal Sunshine.

[themaninblack]

is the prestige good? worth a rent? wat about the departed?

[snuff]

After further review Finding Forrester is the best movie ever made.

[neko4]

is the prestige good? worth a rent? wat about the departed?

yes both of those are worth renting. real good picks.

i can't believe anyone hasn't said this yet. TMNT. c'mon even if it is CG, it is still TMNT. 300 is gonna kick A. and The Shooter looks awesome.

[The Unseen]

is the prestige good? worth a rent? wat about the departed?

The Prestige is good, although you need to pay attention to details. A "thinking movie", I guess.

[MaxV]

I don't know what to make of "Number 23".

I am looking forward to:

300
SM3
Fantastic Four 2......Silver Surfer is a badass

I might be forgetting some.

[Brodeur]

The Number 23 looks completely ********. It doesn't come across as anything but Jim Carey's "Butterfly Effect"

It could be funny if you are able to laugh at the trailer in a way. I've really enjoyed Carey's non comedic work most of the time though, to be fair, so I'm hoping 23 isn't too bad.

[TitleTown088]

apocolypto was better than departed. I loved it.

[A-Dub4President]

apocolypto was better than departed. I loved it.

I agree. Departed was decent, but if it didn't have Scorcese's name on it it wouldn't have gotten nominated. Apocalypto was classic.

[themaninblack]

i need to see that(apocalypto) as well.

did anyone see the good shepherd? thoughts? i loved it personally...

[alca1992]

apocolypto was better than departed. I loved it.

i like saw,cabin fever, hostel

[Philliez01]

Hostel was good because it was like a ******* porno for the first 30-some odd minutes, right? I think it was Hostel.

Anyway, does "Evan Almighty" look like a bad movie? I know Steve is in it but I'm just wondering; did that movie even deserve a sequel?

[M.O.T.H.]

I like all the saw movies... the 3rd was the worst... 2nd the best, i've never seen cabin fever, and Hostel was crap. They really shouldnt make a 2nd that movies was such garbage.

More horrible "horror" movies

Silent Hill
The Grudge
Stay Alive

Anyone else agree that Talladega Nights sucked?

[Paranoidmoonduck]

Last few movies I've seen recently.

Little Miss Sunshine - 8/10
Delightfully off-beat, but slowed down at certain points, and failed to keep me overly involved.

The Illusionist - 6/10
A great cast working with a goddamn awful script. The bones of the story was alright, but the execution made me want to cry.

Children of Men - 10/10
Best sci-fi film I've seen since Blade Runner. If you haven't yet seen this, do so. The story is moving and the filmwork is the most dynamic and amazing thing I have seen in years.

A Scanner Darkly - 9/10
Manages to keep the feel of a Philip Dick novel (something that has been proven to be really hard), is funny and visually very interesting, and manages to make both Winona Ryder and Keanue Reeves tolerable (simply amazing feat).

Kontroll - 9/10
Hungarian flick that has gained popularity in the indie crowd for good reason. Funny and very entertaining script, fantastic film work, great soundtrack.

[M.O.T.H.]

The Prestige....The Illusionist....worth seeing?

[sweetness34]

Uh no. I love Will Farell though, I think he writes brilliant stuff. It may be stupid, but it's funny as hell.

Day Watch
The Eye
Malevolence
The Hills Have Eyes (remake)

TCM- The Beginning
Dog Soldiers
Ginger Snaps
American Psycho

Land of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead (remake)
The Devil's Rejects
Final Destination (the first one anyway)
Jeepers Creepers
Slither
Shaun of the Dead
From Dusk Till Dawn

this is just off the top of my head, I know I'm forgetting a bunch

[M.O.T.H.]

I'll check some of those out...

I didnt like... any of Rob zombies crap, the decent was ok... but, it didnt really explain anything, dawn the dead was pretty bad also...IMO.

Thanks for the list though... I'm a big fan of the horror genre just have been disappointed for a long while.

[Paranoidmoonduck]

The Prestige....The Illusionist....worth seeing?

EVeryone raves how amazing it is and how it's such a cult classic blah blah bla blah. Seriously i saw it with a very open mind at the time and thought despite the smart dialogue.. it was an average movie at best. I love how everyone talks about how there's all these hidden meanings in it and when you ask them what they are they either can't tell you or they say "the suitcase contains his soul" and then you're supposed to impressed and say.. wait it is the best movie ever. Seriously i hate that movie.

Gladiator
Fight Club
American History X
Reservior Dogs
Munich

under-rated flicks

Office Space
Kingdom of Heaven - alot of preople didn't like it.. thanks to orlando bloom. I think if you put a better actor there you have an amazing movie.. even with bloom in it's still pretty good.

I love how everyone talks about how there's all these hidden meanings in it and when you ask them what they are they either can't tell you or they say "the suitcase contains his soul" and then you're supposed to impressed and say.. wait it is the best movie ever. Seriously i hate that movie.

Why do you hate Pulp Fiction?

Why do you like it?

Answering a question with a question........good tactic, back at you saddam.

[alca1992]

im kinda the same way with pulp fiction. it was ok i mean i cant say it was a waste of time, but i honestly dont get why evreyone likes it so much.

BTW if you guys havent noticed by now i have seen so nmany movies because im a movie freak.

Movies ive seen lately

Epic Movie 2/10

I want to start out bgy saying the ONLY reason i saw this was because my friend said it was "the funniet thing ever!!"; but my friend is an idiot. Like i tought the movie had no plot and the whole movie was sprinkled in with random sex and fart jokes. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!

Blood Diamond 10/10

Great Movie. There was perfect blend of violence, crime, drama, and even a little romance. For people who dont know what its about its about a fisherman who village was raided and he was taken prisoner, luckily his family got away. He was sent to work in a diamond mine, where one day he found a pink diamond. then he puts it in hiding. There he meets a man (Dicapprio) who says he will save his family if he gives him the diamond. But like i said great movie.

[M.O.T.H.]

I didnt like pulp fiction either.

[snuff]

pulp fiction bored me to death as with most tarentino films.

ehh.. :? you might get some laughs, i saw it, thought it was meerly ok

[MaxV]

Yeah, "Epic Movie" was TERRIBLE. Not a single funny part in the whole movie.

Regarding "Pulp Fiction", I've never seen the whole movie, but the parts that I have seen weren't that great.

I do want to see it completely, just to see what's the fuss is all about.

[Paranoidmoonduck]

I loved Pulp Fiction, but I still think Resevoir Dogs was the best Tarantino flick.

[diabsoule]

I really liked 16 Blocks. The Departed was also really good.

[dcrls]

I really liked 16 Blocks. The Departed was also really good.



QFT, both good movies. "Maybe, Maybe Not, Maybe F@#k yourself" :lol:

Wahlberg sweared like every 10 seconds in the departed.

[ny10804]

You seriously though bad santa was better than blood diamond?

Blood Diamond was very good, but I was never sold on DiCaprio's character, especially the accent. As for Bad Santa, I think that it's a classic in the making, as well as being extremely hilarious.

EDIT- When I was watching Any Given Sunday last night, I noticed they censored out "creaming" as in "I keep the ladies." I found that funny.

EDIT2- I just watched Planet of the Apes (Charleston Heston version), and I'd give it a 10/10. I know someone mentioned before, but I know I say Reservoir Dogs sometime in December, and I'd give it a 10/10 also.

[themaninblack]

have you seen lock,stock, and two smoking barrels? also made by guy ritchie its very good i think i like it even more than snatch in some ways.

[snuff]

Layer Cake is made by the producer of Snatch and is also a very good movie.

[themaninblack]

never heard of it, i'll have to check that one out. Has Guy Ritchie made any recent movies or is he in the process of making any new ones? i like both movies ive seen from him.

[snuff]

Revolver(05). It wasn't that good.

[KCJ58]

Has any1 seen Green Street Hooligans?

[Paranoidmoonduck]

have you seen lock,stock, and two smoking barrels? also made by guy ritchie its very good i think i like it even more than snatch in some ways.

I actually just watched that tonight.

I actually think that The Layer Cake kicks the butt of either of Guy Ritchies two most popular flicks. It has a very different style though.

[Shiver]

Stranger than Fiction is a better and more productive film than any other Will Ferrell movie

[Caddy]

Has any1 seen Green Street Hooligans?

Heck yeah, not a bad movie really. Soccer/Brawling theme going on is pretty interesting. But if you weren't exposed to a lot of movies you might not have heard about it, I work part time in a video store so I don't have that many troubles.

Leon the Professional is a solid movie. Gary Oldman's character is a prick.

How was it?7.5/10. The beginning was a little boring, but it was a pretty good ending. I think it would of been better if I would of seen it 13 years ago.

That's 9 out of my top 10 of movies, and you could argue the Matrix...

[themaninblack]

Batman Begins was by far the best Batman movie ever made so i'd prolly like the prestige :lol:


except BB came together really well at the end....

[The Unseen]

I liked the Prestige, but I don't think it was 10/10 material...

Anyways, just saw two movies. Went to theatres to see Amazing Grace. A very good flick, especially for the history types. 8.5/10. And I just watched Bourne Supremacy. As I just finished watching it, I can't tell you how I think it compares to Identity, but I will give it a slightly lower rating of 8/10.

I don't know what you mean by "hasn't changed." I think they showed a little change, and there isn't as much change from mid teens to adulthood as childhood to adulthood.

Padme's no longer queen because I believe her term expired and she wanted to be senator. That happened in Episode 2 (or between 1 and 2).

For The Prestige, I'll agree more with ny on this one but I can't say it was the best movie I've ever seen(although it seems like he has changed that). I too can be said to be a sucker for twists but you can't deny that it was VERY well written and thought out. I mean watching it a second time revealed so many details which should seem odd to the viewer in the first time watching but never get necessarily noticed. And such details pointed to the ending. I guess I liked the mysterious 19th century setting also. Basically I could go on and on about what I liked...

I just seen Reno 911 the movie and I would say its the second funniest movie I ever seen. Its hilarious

[themaninblack]

i want to see that. anyways, i finally got to see the prestige and it was very good. i did figure out that he had a twin brother though, i could see it in that guy whenever they showed him. still it was very good and gets an 8/10 from me.

I don't know, I really didn't like the ending. The twist was kind of meh and seemed pretty weak to me. I'm a total sucker for twist endings though (The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies), and this one just didn't get me as much. Not sure why.

[ny10804]

Clarity for my take on The Prestige: saying it "may be the best movie I've ever seen" came ******s after I finished watching it, so it was definitely a rash statement. After thinking and digesting it, I'd give it a 9/10, and definitely not the best I've ever seen.

I still loved the ending though. It would've been a little better if they'd have left out the ***SPOILER*** scene where they show Border talking to someone in the shadows, telling him to make sure that Sarah loves him after he got in a fight with her. That would make the ending exponentially better.

[snuff]

I saw Reno 911. I give it a 5.5/10. Pretty bad.

[Jughead10]

Eh, I'm a huge Reno 911 fan. I thought the movie would go above and beyond the show. It let me down a bit. I didn't think it was any funnier than watching three regular episodes in a row. I thought they would go above and beyond and they didn't, for me at least.

Highly correct.

And I thought Babel was far superior to Crash, the piece of trash that people always compare it to.

[Shiver]

Now I will preface my comments by saying I love Anchorman. That said, Stranger than Fiction is more of my comedic forte. As for Talladega Nights, it was funny the first time. After that the jokes get old.

[snuff]

I was going to watch Babel last night, but I didn't have the subs and was to lazy to get them so I will get back on that one, but the person that made Babel needs to mix it up if its what I think. Ammores Peros is his best work and his other two movies 21 grams and Babel seem to be nearly identical but getting worse.

[snuff]

Just watched the Illusionist and I think it was better than the Prestige.

The story was better the characters were better, although it had a few holes in the characters and acting which kinda sucked as you would think Norton would be superb. It needs some cleaning up but it was a lot more enjoyable than The Prestige.

[swagger]

I thought The Illusionist was better than The Prestige, also. The Prestige just got a little too sci-fi for my tastes. And I thought The Illusionist was much more meaningful. Everything Ed Norton touches is gold.

[Shiver]

I cannot make up my mind; which was better? The Illusionist or The Prestige. They were both really good, well directed, well acted. I think if I had to pick, I would take The Prestige, because it was more unpredictable. Whereas The Illusionist was much more predictable.

I thought The Prestige was superior although both films were great. I'm a huge fan of Edward Norton but I wasn't very impressed by the ending because it seemed too unbelievable to me. Slater was great in The Prestige and the script was a lot better in my opinion.

Will Ferrell Movies:

I'm not a Will Ferrell fan at all. He plays the same character in every movie and Talladega Nights and Anchorman are carbon copies of each other (and it looks like Blades of Glory will be the same).

Stranger Than Fiction was alright but it lacked depth. It was kind of a weird mashup between comedy, drama, and romance that didn't do anything very well.

I cannot make up my mind; which was better? The Illusionist or The Prestige. They were both really good, well directed, well acted. I think if I had to pick, I would take The Prestige, because it was more unpredictable. Whereas The Illusionist was much more predictable.

Now, keep in mind I haven't seen The Prestige, but I thought The Illusionist was pretty goddamn awful. It was way too predictable, the ending sucked, and the script read like it was written by a 13 year old of moderate intelligence who just got done reading a lot of Sherlock Holmes.

I've heard good things about The Prestige, so I've no doubt it was better.


I'm not a Will Ferrell fan at all. He plays the same character in every movie and Talladega Nights and Anchorman are carbon copies of each other (and it looks like Blades of Glory will be the same).

Stranger Than Fiction was alright but it lacked depth. It was kind of a weird mashup between comedy, drama, and romance that didn't do anything very well.I actually couldn't disagree more. I think Ferrell is about as subtlely talented a comic actor as they come. I also think that Stranger than Fiction had plenty of depth and serves as a funnier than normal character study. I loved the film.

Anyone here much of an Aronofsky fan?

While that was certainly a hyperbole, I do agree with you that The Illusionist was definitely predictable.

I was really suprised at how crappy I found that movie. The cast was at the very least above average, but jesus it hurt me to watch it. There was absolutely no subtlety to how it was made or written. It seemed absolutely phoned in from the moment they landed Giamatti and Norton.

I can't take Giamatti seriously after Lady in the Water but Norton is stellar and acted very well in The Illusionist. However, the plot was weak and the ending didn't make sense.

Oh, the ending made sense, but you could see it from a mile away. And making Giamatti realize it all in moment while standing in the middle of a freaking train station is probably what sent me over the edge. He didn't even deduce anything, he just all of a sudden understood it. Lame.

Explain how Norton was making these random "ghost figures" and then even projecting himself?

Oh....well yeah. They never really did explain that. I think Edward Norton is naturally magic.

That was my whole beef with the movie. The twist may have been obvious but it at least could have been plausible. Nothing in the movie was even in the realm of possibility. The Prestige was outlandish (obviously a machine like that is impossible) however it was believable and tied in with the plot.

[Paranoidmoonduck]

Agreed. It sucked.

Anyone familiar with Aronofsky's work? The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream, Pi?

[JagHombre22]

I loved the Presitge, I'm a huge Christian Bale fan...I think he's the best batman they've had and he also showed his acting flare in the prestige.

I just watched the illusionist and thought that it was just "ok"...too much of a sci fi twist in that one for me...well acted on Norton's part but just "ok"

and Maggie Gyllenhal (sp) is taking Katie Holmes spot as Rachel Dawes in the Dark Knight...I thought that she was pretty good in Stranger than Fiction...which I think is Will Ferrell's masterpiece...

[Paranoidmoonduck]

Katie Holmes was pretty damn bad in Batman Begins (probably the worst part of what was a good movie), so I have a hard time time feeling bad. It is an odd thing to make a switch that like that though.

[Moses]

Agreed. It sucked.

I love Requiem For A Dream (one of my favourite movies from a thematic standpoint) but I haven't seen The Foundtain or Pi yet. Are they worth watching?

What is with everybody loving Stranger Than Fiction so much? I thought it was average at best. None of the acting was anything better than average and the plot was predictable and played out. Comedically it made me chuckle a few times and there was actually some "higher brow" humour in it (which is rare for Ferrell) but it can't really be described as a hilarious movie.

Patriot Games i just saw it, it was great

[jagsfreak27]

300 was great, music n lyrics not so much

[Moses]

I just saw 300 yesterday. What do you all think of it?

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. One of the best movies I've ever seen and it does it in a way that has never been explored before. Very different than other masterpieces like The Godfather but I think you can put it in that league.

I think they're both better than Requiem, but they are very different. Aronofsky is easily my favorite film maker, and while Fountain and Pi have far less concrete stories than Requiem (and play around with the concept of reality a lot more), they are fantastic movies.

Both are in my top 10 movies, so, yes, go forth and watch them.

Sounds good. I'll check them out ASAP.

I'd go for watching Pi first, since the The Fountain tends to be a massive mindf**k for a lot of people, and it shows how far the visual presentation of his movies has come.
