we starting with the pictures again?
Emma, please do as Andy said and stop it, it's really annyoing.

why dont you start a 'post a poster of the last movie you saw' thread? ;)

Having watched The Transporter yesterday, I'm following up with the sequel today... And watched Bangkok Dangerous last night - was absolutely NOT impressed with it...

Twilight

Valkyrie.

Excellent.

As always when I watch a quality film of this type, I stand in awe of the people who risked their lives to fight what they knew was wrong, regardless of which side they were on. Brave men.

Australia.

Baz Luhrman needs a face full of rotten tomatoes!
He packed the movie with a little too much history and not quite enough outback beauty.
Storyline was good with the first ending and he should have stuck with that instead of whoring himself in an attempt to produce a blockbuster.

Good movie, BUT ......

Blade Runner :cool:

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

Good film, I think I prefer the first two though.

Just watched Wonderland for the second time and I still don't get it... I guess it also didn't help that my DVD kept sticking but apart from that Val was super as always :)) !!

finally...pet sematary

scary, but i think not as scary as it's reputation has made it. I think it's just been something else twenty years ago...
It lived up to my expectations, but it didnt blow the top.
I especially liked the ending.....he loves his wife so much that he wants her back, even when he knows she'll be a zombie...but he doesnt care...

The Wedding. An Aussie film. A little difficult to pick up some of the plot points, but okay for just vegging out in front of the idiot box,

Beauty and the Beast

Murder by numbers

Started watching Die Hard 2 last night, but couldn't stay awake long enough to watch it to the end....

Hostel II. Blech :sick:

The Number 23 ... interestingly, this is post number 3715 in this thread and (3x5)+1+7 is ...

someone please give the man a cigar!
and that's not a movie title, by the way.

Yes it is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/ :))

erm. am I missing something here?

I think Rockette meant that 'someone please give the man a cigar!' wasn't a movie title.... Long day, Andy?

nah, just bad jokes, as usual :))

Heat, now I don't know if it was because I was tired but I couldn't follow it :shock:. But on the plus side :heart: Val :heart: was in it so that made up for the confusion, mabe I should watch these sort of films when I'm not so tired :lol:.

A few episodes of "My family"

started watching Eden Lake last night, but fell asleep.

The Sea Hawk - Almost 70 years old but as entertaining as Pirates Of The Carribbean. :-)

The Player - an Altman film with a cast of hundreds.

The Assassination of Richard Nixon - interesting story, very good performance by Sean Penn.

Sean penn is really good in that

Benjamin Button

not bad but veeeery long (3hrs)

:heart: Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp :heart:

The Naked and the Dead

WWII movie based on Norman Mailer's great novel.

as it's meant to be a chick flick, did you cry?:D

:kickass:

i'll take your aggressive response to be a yes

Currently watching 'Boogie Nights';)

Walt Disney's 101 Dalmatians :heart:

Martian Child - pretty good...

I've seen that its a really cute little film!!

We thought so too...pretty predictable but still feel good movie...in this world...right now I don't want to see or hear or read anything that isn't feel good...

And John Cusack is cute too lol!!

No, no, no...

John Cusack is HOT...

Finally got around to watching :heart:Thunderheart with the everso gorgeous Val Kilmer :heart:.

It's a very good film :cool:.

Batman & Robin with George Clooney. Clooney was waaaay better than the clown who played Batman in the Batman Forever film.

Pud :twisted:

A Few Good Men. Love that film.

Lethal Weapon 2.....( just love Mel Gibson in that film)

Had an ironing marathon yesterday.... The Devil Wears Prada, followed by V for Vendetta, and I'm currently watching Meet the Parents...

Three Men to Kill - French thriller with Alain Delon

Point Blank

Lee Marvin is so cool... :up:

Just watched :heart: Tombstone :heart: all the way through and it's a very good film :cool:.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly :))

Pud :twisted:

the day after followed by parts of riddick

Saw RKO 281 yesterday morning (the only good thing about being on sick leave - you can stay in bed on a Thursday morning and watch movies). It's an interesting film about the creation of Orson Welles' famous movie Citizen Kane and how William Randolph Hearst tried to prevent its release. The actors were very good, Liev Schreiber, Melanie Griffith, John Malkovich, James Cromwell and Roy Schneider played the main characters.

Watched The Chronicles of Riddick yesterday evening, too. Amusing. :lurk:

Oops, typo, it's actually Roy Scheider.

Just watched Schultze Gets the Blues, a German tragicomedy.

Kinsey...

and I'm currently watching Taken.

american pie

Appaloosa

How was it? It's on my list to see...

Keoma

Italian western from 1976 with Franco Nero. Pretty good except for the odd soundtrack.

Meh... it was okay, hubby's choice to watch and then he fell asleep... typical... lol...

Renee Zellweger annoyed me, and there was something about Jeremy Irons that reminded me of Die Hard, I kept expecting Bruce Willis to show up...

Bear in mind, however, that I'm not a huge fan of Westerns... Oh, and Viggo Mortensen has definitely looked more attractive...

Bride Wars
well...meh:roll:

Appaloosa, viggo mortesen and ed harris, pretty good, but a different type of western...stick with it, it's worth seeing

I am not at all a fan of Westerns...but that one looked different...except for Renee Zellweger...she should give up squeaking and making Bridget Jones faces already...

I could have told you so...look at the premise...two best friends don't know the date of each other wedding...duh....

Oh and I just finished watching Airplane...again...funniest movie ever...

We were talking about and quoting that film at work the other day, 29yrs after it's release and it's not been bettered!!!!!!!!!!

didn't realise you had posted this as well...

Ed Harris directed, co-wrote, co-produced and co-wrote one of the songs in the credits, so it was obviously something he believed in

and as for airplane...

Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

That movie is chock full of gags...I wouldn't even try to start quoting it...noted yesterday the one where co-pilot asks captain whether he should check the weather...and pilot answers to him...NO, you check it...lol...

Classic for all times...

Didnt know that it´s possible for anyone to miss the plot of that movie, but hey, you proved me wrong lol :lmao:

Still and afterall, Bride Wars was the only movie left that we haven´t seen in cinema. And as we now well know there was a good reason why we refused for so long to watch it lol. Thank godness they released a few new promising sounding movies on Thurs!

The last "movie" I watched was Jackass - The movie

:silence:

Ummm...starring who??? :lmao:

Chris Pontius :drool:

And I was lying!! The last movie I actually saw was the new X Files movie some time last night/this morning. Just cant quite remember that :oops: :whistle:

Stalker

Very long and slow but not boring - a masterpiece.

the remake of Friday the 13th

was pretty lame...

The Men with Marlon Brando

Heat - Val Kilmer gets shot :yay:

: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:
