:heart: Spartan with the audio comentry by VK :heart:

It's very amusing, and the film is cool too :cool:.

Hearts of Darkness

Bolt, at the cinema with the kids on Wednesday... it wasn't bad, for a kids film, quite funny in places actually!

Brotherhood - War drama from South Korea

Push - the Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans film

the first hour is great, the rest drags on...sequel in the works?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - very good film, almost made me cry and I never cry at movies - not even titanic... Definately go and see it!

He's Just Not That Into You - good chick flick, kinda dragged on a little but had a cleverish plot...

The last film I didn't see was Gran Torino.... where did that hour go?

American Pie presents Beta House

crap, but enjoyable in some parts

Valkyrie. Better than I thought it would be, but it was still Tom Cruise playing a Tom Cruise character.

:twisted: Unconditional Love.

A lot better than it sounds :shock:

When her idol is murdered, an obsessed fan (Kathy Bates) teams up with his gay lover to solve the murder.

Vicky Christina Barcelona...

What a pretentious self-indulgent piece of crap...

Is it really that bad? I haven't seen that one yet but was quite disappointed by recent Woody Allen movies. I heard that there's a narrator explaining what's going on in the movie all the time. Is that the case? (The last time I had to endure a narrator was when I watched a movie by Ed Wood. :lawl:)

The last movie I saw was Pearl Harbor. Historic inaccuracies, dull "heroes", a boring story centered around a soap opera like love triangle, annoying overuse of soppy music... :yawn:
(The scene in which the boys play in the plane in the barn reminded me of Meat's Objects In The Rear View Mirror video. Since the movie as well as the video were directed by the same person, I suspect that's not a coincidence.)

The Entity

Actually got to see Gran Torino last night... very good, really enjoyed it, didn't end quite the way I thought it would...

Just out of interest, can anyone remember a Clint Eastwood film where he has a wife? There are a few where he's divorced, where he has a girlfriend, or where he's been married and she's died, but I can't think of any where he's got a living wife - can anyone think of one?

Can't recall any. It seems as if a wife doesn't suit the characters he predominantly represents.

Evolution

Mind yourself, this is my own personal opinion...

I gave up on Woody Allen after Melinda and Melinda...I thought I've had enough...but the critics were raving about this one and I thought Woody has come back...to me it was just simply awful...

Yes, absolutely there is a narrator...and he narrates everything with a pathos that you think something important is about to happen...not so fast...it goes something like this...you see people on the screen riding bicycles...

Narrator: In the morning they went riding bicycles...

Ummm...hmmm...it's billed as a comedy but you don't even smile once during the movie...the plot is nothing but predictable...and EVERYBODY is playing Woody Allen...except for Penelope Cruz who is actually playing somebody else...I see why she has gotten nominated...she managed to remain one person who wasn't Woody Allen in this movie...although maybe it was the OTHER side of Woody Allen...

And I think Pearl Harbor is a terrible movie too...just for taste comparison...

Hot Shots 1 & 2, simple, funny and worth it for the end credits alone

Oh no, it's exactly like in that Ed Wood movie! :roll: :lawl:

Thanks for the info, I think I'd rather watch one of his old flicks again.

Last movie I watched: Hope & Glory.

Basically, it didn't occur to me at a time but later on I've read some reviews about that narration and I knew something bugged me about it but it was basically parts of the script read instead of filmed and/or acted...somebody actually called it "lazy filmmaking". I agree...

I actually don't expect this from an experienced director like Woody Allen. A good director lets the the pictures tell the story, narration is superflous in most cases. Sometimes it might make sense as part of the story, for example if the narration is done by one of the characters and as long as you're not exposed to it through the entire movie.
Woody Allen releases a movie per year, maybe it's about time to give up on that principle and make less but better movies instead?

I watched Marnie by Alfred Hitchcock today. :up:

Role Models
Wasn´t worth watching it in the cinema :shrug:
Though it has Sean William Scott and Paul Rudd in it...And they look quite good on a big screen :cool:

:heart: Walt Disney's Pocahontas.

Mel Gibson voices John Smith and it has been years since I saw this at the cinema and OK I had the video for a few weeks now but have finally got around to watching it and it surprised me at how well he is at singing though I think this is the only serious singing he's done. It's a very good story though quite sad. :heart:
