What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?

[clocker]

Depp was still pretty good though.
Everyone was pretty good, the movie should have been great.

I fear for Christian Bale- he's become the go-to actor for steely-eyed, gravel voiced characters (the kind of guy who has great screen presence but in real life would scare you shitless) and his range seems to be contracting instead of growing.

I was also disappointed with the liberties that Mann took with historical fact.
IRL, Hoover was so jealous of Purvis that he drove him out of the FBI a year after Dillinger died.
In the movie Purvis is a lapdog, which eliminated a whole avenue of drama that might have humanized the FBI and raised them above the soulless- but basically incompetent- hunting machine that Mann presented.

For me, Public Enemies stands as the poster child for over-hyped movies, even above Transformers 2 or Terminator: Salvation.
The latter didn't pretend to be anything but summer popcorn flicks (BAM! BOOBS!) while PE strove to be The Godfather and hardly measures up to the third sequel.

[playerone]

The Kingdom - Good movie
The girl next door(2007) - Made me cry and angry

The Girl Next door was so lame. I had high expectations from this crappy movie.

In my case I was just angry.

The last movie I watched is District 9. (downloaded it)
I liked it, so I will get the Blu-Ray.

The Last Movie I paid for (go to the theater) Lord of the Rings (the first part) I think its been almost 10 years now.
How much is a movie ticket now? 20 bucks? LOL

"Ce Que Pensent Les Hommes !" 2009

[9Torres]

I watched pretty woman for the first time, yesterday. oh my god I loved it. it's just so lovely and funny. I've always dismissed it, regarding it as a crappy chickflick (which I guess is true?) but I actually really enjoyed it. in the opera scene, I just LOVE it when julia roberts smiles. I'm not really a fan of hers, but that smile melted my heart a little bit. so adorable. and richard gere's eyes... WHERE ARE THEY? does he have any? so fascinating!

so yeah. I'm a fan. straight, too! unbelievable, I know.

[swizZ8]

Das Boot (1981)

seen it while ago, watched it again, didnt regret it :)

[Bannister]

Rockn Rolla....really cool ;)

[Townsend]

Semi Pro...a bit disappoining

[Stinson]

Tropic Thunder

[capcbd]

Watched The Bone Collector the other night.

[clocker]

I Sell The Dead- Dominic Monighan, Ron Perlman, Larry Fessenden.

Fitfully amusing tale of a pair of graverobbers (Monighan & Fessenden) and their encounters with the dead and not-so-dead.
Clearly made on a shoestring budget, IRTD relies more on atmospherics than special effects...think old time Hammer Films instead of Rob Zombie.

Told in a series of flashbacks as Arthur Blake (Monighan) awaits the guillotine, the different episodes vary widely in quality/mood...I wonder if the film was shot over a period of time instead of all at once.
Oh well, doesn't matter...the movie doesn't take itself seriously and neither do I, although I do have to marvel that such a low rent project could somehow ensnare two actors like Perlman and Monighan.
Indy cred, FTW, I suppose.

[Zip]

I watched the newest Harry Potter a couple of weeks ago. Though it wasn't very harry potterish. :dabs:

[reaganrev]

Green Street Hooligans

Has Elija Wood in it (frodo from Lord of the Rings fame). He plays a rather timid American guy traveling to England to visit his sister. He befriends the leader of a 'firm' (Basically a gang - each soccer team inn England has at least 1 of them). The story is great, and the action scenes are also well done. Great sleeper movie !!!

[saminasri]

it was the hangover , am waiting for new movies to watch

downloaded whole new bunch of movies but can't get the time to watch them

[overcash]

Godfather 2! the best ever!

[swizZ8]

Angels & Demons

8/10

[clocker]

Knowing- Nic Cage.

A thinly veiled "rapture-fantasy" that didn't piss me off.
In fact, I'd say it was pretty good.

The two main CGI set pieces (the plane and the train) were the best I've seen all year...absolutely spectacular.
It's a mystery why the movie's one real clunker line- "I will never let that happen"- was prominently featured in the trailer, it should have been left on the editing suite floor, but oh well.

[swizZ8]

Crank 2: High Voltage

decent for hyper action, didnt like too much sf

[SonsOfLiberty]

I thought Crack 2 wasn't that good, kind of weirded me out actually.

But I watched the Zombie Diaries from 2006 (a UK zombie flick), but this one sucked bad.

Ong Bak 2

8/10

Indeed good action movie, classic story about hero and his path to revenge, nothing especially new in this area. But i was quite impressed by action sequences, they are intense and they gave you really good martial arts moves which u didnt see before, its obvious they were innovative in this area. U wont find "deep" dialogs in this movie or something smiliar only good fight :). All in all, its definitely worth of watching.

It's a good movie. Although there are many

the lord of the rings extended editions absolutely fantastic with the footage that was added

[The_Martinator]

I watched The Killer (1989) last night. It's a John Woo flick, back when he was still doing films in Hong Kong.

It starts out slow, but keeps getting better towards the end. 7,5/10 from me.

12 Angry Men (1957)

Is that the one with Jack Lemmon also? I was contemplating on which one to watch.

Btw, I watched it with my 18 year old brother, who's not into old movies. I figured he'd do the usual, watch the first 10 minutes then say it's boring and go away. He stayed till the end. :D

Internal Affairs- Richard Gere, Andy Garcia, Laurie Metcalf.

Playing against type, Gere is a thoroughly corrupt and insidiously vicious L.A. cop.
Garcia and Metcalf are the internal affairs team who stumble upon Gere's organization and try to take him down.

Not as epic as L.A. Confidential, and suffering from being set in more modern times, IA still features very good performances from both Gere and Garcia but Metcalf is kind of wasted.

Not a waste of time.

The Damned United- Michael Sheen.

I'll admit that I know nothing about English football and am mystified by the politics and fanatical loyalties.
Fortunately, my ignorance was not a hindrance to enjoying every minute of this film.

This may be the greatest sports film ever that actually has very little of the sport featured.
It's all about ego and human frailty and Michael Sheen does a great job projecting both.

He's amazing really...in the past few months I've enjoyed his performances as David Frost, Tony Blair, a werewolf and now, an English football manager.
What range.

I'm not sure if my outsiders perspective added to or detracted from my perception of The Damned United- maybe more familiarity with the nuances would have helped, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Plus, it featured Deep Purple's Hush, one of the all time great songs and even has Colm Meaney in a major role...what more could you ask for really?

Anvil: The Story of Anvil.
I don't know what to think of this documentary.

Disclaimer: Metal music ain't my cuppa tea...think it's mindless shit...

Anvil was apparently one of the ur-metal bands, the film opens with interviews with "stars" like Slash and Lars Ulrich who cite Anvil as one of the most influential and talented bands of the genre.
No one can explain why they didn't step up into big time rock stardom (my theory is that they were ridiculous but that didn't stop Twisted Sister and Motorhead, did it?).

Cut to modern times and Anvil is still at it, albeit stringier of hair and paunchier of gut. They never quit, and as they stumble through their day jobs are still consumed with the idea that they'll make it big.

You can't watch this movie and NOT be reminded of This Is Spinal Tap...whether that's a good thing or not, I'm not sure.

A well-chosen name goes a lone way in defining a character .
Even if you had never seen Raiders of the Lost Ark the moniker Indiana Jones brings up a certain image in your head.

Mullohand Dr.

I strongly recomend you to watch it. 9/10 in my book

[sez]

Through with rebound,retarded audio but one of the best romantic comedies this year.it gets a 6 coulda been better if audio wasn't cam.
10 minutes into orphan,like it already coz am yet to grasp the plot.Hope its gonna be a 10 as per the above.

[c0ld]

Moon - best sci-fi in ages, probably better that D9 overall.

[IdolEyes787]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre : The Beginning sort of watched .

Sure with a title like that I should have been a little more aware going in but seriously who gets a kick out of this crap.

I hung in for the first part - the build up mostly because I have a thing for Doira Baird even though I pretty much knew things weren't going to end well for her. A few murders in no big deal because they were characters made for the offing that I had no invested interest in but as soon as the writers thought it a good idea to skin alive ,chainsaw and cut off the face ( to be used as the mask by Tommy/Leatherface) of the erstwhile hero who's greatest "crime" was being brave and putting his life at risk by defending his brother, I knew it was time to bail.
Glad I did .Read the rest on TheMovieSpoiler - good is slaughtered to the last (wo)man and no redeeming qualities are granted.Nihilistic bullshit.

Good movie on the other hand .Hero survives bad people die .Or at the very least hero's death is given some meaning. Is that so bloody hard to fathom?

Hell yeah, even the Sydney opera gets destroyed. I'll give it a 6/10 but I'm biased since I watched the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers growing up, lol.

Run Fatboy, Run

Lol, some good stuff. And some weird also. Simon Pegg is good, but imo he's a bit overrated. The movie has a happy ending tho.

6,5/10

The Fall

Visually stunning (so I watched it in Hd) and the story's OK, but just OK, IMO. 6/10

[sez]

I've tried liking the TCMs but there is just something off about them plus I think its kinda over doing it with sequel number 6.
Anyways watched orphan,plot was great though it lacked real emotion(woulda been great with jodie foster as the mum),kinda brought back memories from gothika as it was just as captivating and intriguing.

Adoption is good but its a little complicated when it comes to 7+ yr olds.Listen to what your wife says or you'll end up dead from multiple stab wounds.
Its ok to hug your 4 year old daughter immediately you come off a pond of icy waters.

Somebody told me I should go watch the unborn as well so thats what am planning to do.If I find time,I may as well slip in martin's run fat boy run :P.

[IdolEyes787]

Just watched "I sell the dead " great gallows humor.

Good writing and a great ending somewhat compensate for a tiny budget .
Would have been a whole lot better if it didn't look like it was shot on a sound stage with someone's camcorder.

Apart from some of the fencing which was obviously on fast forward to make it ''better'' (I would have been fine with normal speed btw), a great movie indeed.

The castle, the clothes, the dialogues. All great. Also I miss reading in modern movies. Kinda demands a little more attention from you which is good, imo.

7,5/10

The Boat that Rocked (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131729/) If you like music of the 60's this is must. The soundtrack is great and there are a lot of funny moments and a few of really serious ones.
7/10 for the sex,drugs and rock 'n' roll mood

History of the world part 1 (1981)

For the most part the movie is funny as hell, but on a few occasions it goes out of line and then it's not as funny as it's just vulgar (and I'm pretty tolerant when it comes to this IMO). Still it has that Mel Brooks "flavour", lol.

Ginger Snaps (2000). Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle.

A glorious take on the "teen werewolf" genre, Ginger Snaps mixes teenage alienation, menstruation and humor into the best horror film I've seen in a long while.
The title's pretty damn clever, too.

Ginger Snaps (2000). Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle.

Yeah, I was aware of those but avoided them.
For the most part, I consider sequels and prequels to be intellectual laziness by both the creators and the audience.

OK, fine, you came up with a good idea and executed it well...now fucking go out and develop another one.
Sequels are easy for the viewer because he already knows the character(s) and the basic framework and thus, doesn't have to start from scratch and figure out what's happening.

People who perform regular jobs get rewarded for mastering a basic skill set and then perfecting it...artists should not.

[1000possibleclaws]

Paranormal Activity, and I thought it was way overhyped. If you saw the first 20 minutes you've basically seen the whole movie imo. Not really any plot twists or explanations :/

[Gemby!]

Jennifer's Body. A bit porno and lame, but had its moments

[hutchie]

The Machinist 8/10

It's one of those movies that mess with your head so if you enjoy these kinds of films, this is a must watch. It's a mystery/thriller type movie and I love these kinds of movies.

[clocker]

Julie & Julia- Meryl Streep, Amy Adams.
A young New Yorker (Adams) vows to cook her way through Julia Child's (Streep) Mastering the Art of French Cooking, 500+ recipes in one year.

This movie strongly reminded me of two other films...it had the totally sweet aura of Waitress and the masterful depiction of an iconic person shown in The Queen.

It's Streep's movie and she manages to portray Child as a real person instead of the caricature she could easily be...not an easy task.

Maybe the best term for this movie is charming...I liked it.

[The_Martinator]

Watched The Life of Brian first. I thought it was very good for the most part (except Brian's mum, that is).

7/10

Then I went back and watched Monty Python and The Holy Grail again. I remember not liking it as much the first time (don't know what was wrong with me!!!). This stuff is hillarious.

The first part of this vid for example is pure ROFL:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGAYk5VWkTw

9,9/10 (nothing is perfect)

Then I watched The Meaning of life. Meh, I think they crossed the line a few too many times, so it often wasn't funny, it was just weird. Only watched the first half, though.

[geezup]

Lord of the Rings trilogy is crazy I just now watched it for the first time. Extended edition rocks.

[clocker]

The Usual Suspects.

It's good to revisit the classics and I consider this film to deserve classic status both for the densely written script and Kevin Spacey's performance.
Unlike Roger Ebert- who really hated the Matryoshka nature of the story- I think The Usual Suspects plays fair with the audience and rewards their involvement...it's a journey worth taking.

The cast is uniformly excellent (although Benicio Del Toro's approach to his character still baffles me) and the dialogue is crisp and occasionally laugh out loud funny ("One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Lee Harvey Oswald was a fag.")

A great, noirish thriller.

[The_Martinator]

Yep I loved the Usual suspects too.

Anyway, I watched Heat yesterday.

Have to say that the Canadian fanboi is right, it is a great movie, allthough you're right too clocker when you say some scenes drag on a bit. My fav scene was the one at the port. :P

7,5/10 from me. Definately worth watching, but not without flaws at all. Better than all (most?) shit from nowadays.

[Rart]

allthough you're right too clocker when you say some scenes drag on a bit.

Agreed. I made the mistake of watching it well into the night and ended up falling asleep...

inglorious basterds: crap. wtf was all the fuss about? it was like a giant rehash of every tarantino movie to date with nothing original added, combined with a rehash of every shitty jewish resistance/nazi movie, which have also been done to death.

[clocker]

Mister Frost (1990)- Jeff Goldblum, Alan Bates, Kathy Baker.

Supposedly a cult favorite, I'd only recently heard of this film.
It's a odd bird, basically a shit movie with a great casting choice- Goldblum, of course.

The story, completely implausible and riddled with hilarious plot holes, concerns Mister Frost (Goldblum) who, at the very beginning, charmingly admits to being a mass murderer and then goes mute.
Having been shuttled around European mental hospitals for two years (why no prison, who knows?), he arrives at a totally ridiculous high end facility where he deigns to finally speak to Kathy Bates' character, a shrink.

Turns out, Mister Frost is the Devil and if he can get Bates to believe in him it will be a triumph of faith over science...or some such horseshit.

It's really too bad, Goldblum does a great job with a pathetic story and in a better movie could easily rank with Anthony Hopkins as a cinematic evil icon.
He's got the mannerisms and charm to make the Devil a worthy adversary but his choice of Bates as an opponent is baffling...she's a complete lightweight by comparison.

This ain't the movie it should have been and that's a damn shame.

[kooltilldend]

Paranormal Activity - wow this movie redefined boringness...was just awful

3/10

2012 = worst movie evar! and I'm only 20 minutes in.

Heat- Pacino & DeNiro.
Not as bad as I remembered, not as good as it could have been.
Some beautiful photography and some wretched dialogue.
DeNiro is good, Pacino is ridiculous.
Should have been shorter.

Go- Sarah Polley, Katie Holmes.
A bit of Pulp Fiction, a bit of Roshomon, a bit of The Usual Suspects.
A quite enjoyable pastiche with a surprisingly good ensemble cast (Jane Krackowski, yay!), the story loops around itself, returning three times to one pivotal scene which ties it all together.
A fun and painless watch.

[IdolEyes787]

DeNiro is good, Pacino is ridiculous.

Inglorious Basterds.
A World War 2 fairy tale, told as only Tarantino could...or would.
Some marvelous performances, Tarantino is one of the few directors who lets a scene unfold at it's own pace with all the subtext intact and as usual, his dialogue is great.
Very stylish visuals and the typical QT idiosyncratic soundtrack.

I liked it.

Jurassic Park I - ahh good memories

8/10

[clocker]

Sunshine Cleaning- Amy Adams, Emily Blunt.
Two sisters- the eldest (Adams) has a kid and ambition and the younger (Blunt) is a slacker- live in the shadow of their mother's suicide.
Also featured are Steve Zahn, Alan Arkin- instant indie cred!- and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24).

This small, slice-of-life drama is leavened with humor and carried by the two leads, who are excellent.
I'm on something of an Amy Adams bandwagon lately and she doesn't disappoint here.

No robots or ninjas and Albuquerque does not get destroyed so if you require CGI in your moviefare, don't bother.

[beta_newman]

i watched 2012. A friend sent it to me on TwitFile the other day!!!

[IdolEyes787]

So what did you think of it?

[The_Martinator]

Sunshine (2007)

I think this movie is a tad overrated. There were some plot holes, imo and I don't get why the picture was all blurry only when it showed the Captain of Ikarus 1. I get it, he was mad and exposed himself to the sun, so he turned out to be ugly. So?

5,5/10

[Swift]

Inglorious Basterds 10/10

Especially the role of Col. Hans Landa (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0113048/)

[clocker]

The September Issue.
A documentary about Anna Wintour and the fabled Vogue September issue, the largest magazine release of the year.
Anna Wintour was the model for Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, and is the undisputed ruler of the fashion world.
Vogue can make or break a designer and this one issue is the flagship offering of the year.
A fascinating look into a frivolous and artificial world.

[clocker]

American Beauty- Kevin Spacey.

A movie written specifically for Spacey (The Usual Suspects being another example)- I can't think of another current actor who gets so much written with them in mind.

Weirdness in suburbia, Spacey's character is slowly going off the rails but achieves a kind of peace and happiness in the end...even as he dies.
Darkly humorous and well acted by the entire cast.

A very good movie.

The Hurt Locker.
How do you survive in the infinitely hostile land of Iraq and what kind of person are you when you discover it's the only place you want to be?
The films follows a US Army bomb squad with but 38 days left of their tour.
One is obsessed with dying, one is just trying to make it out alive and the third absolutely thrives under the pressure and danger.

A stunning film.

[clocker]

Ronin- Robert De Niro, Jean Reno.

A superior spy/heist/thriller with the best car chase scenes ever.
The civilian population of France gets decimated by gunfire and the automotive carnage rivals that of the Bourne series.
De Niro shines in one of the classic tough guy roles in recent memory (he operates on himself) and Reno plays another incarnation of Leon the Professional.

The sound design- both the cars and the guns- is spectacular.

Another great movie...I'm on a roll.

[carstracker]

Inglorious Basterds

[locusprince]

Inglorious Basterds

[clocker]

Shoot 'Em Up- Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and sometimes, a movie is just what the title implies.
86 minutes of absurdly over the top gun fantasy sequences...the squib budget on this flick must have been astronomical...although, to be completely fair, one must mention that two people die by carrot.

Roger Ebert said it best: "I may disapprove of a movie for going too far, and yet have a sneaky regard for a movie that goes much, much farther than merely too far."

Don't break out the good stuff for this movie, cheap bourbon is what it demands.
Given a suitable amount you'll think this film is a blast.

I did.

[brightsid]

The last weekend it was a European movies weekend for me. Two of the movies I've watched are really good choices

Man som hatar kvinnor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132620/)
The first one is a mystery thiller from Sweden based on the first part of Stieg Larsson's Millenium a best selling trilogy.
An aged former head of an industrial dynasty hires a just failed journalist to investigate a 40 years old family mystery.
A fascinating mix of serial killers, secrets and hackers in the cold Swedish atmosphere.

I've read the original book last summer and I was thrilled waiting for this movie. The movie is as exciting as the book,
although it's impossible to cover a +600 pages book in 2.5 hours movie. Anyway it's definetely this year's best mystery movie
and I think if it was an English speaking movie it could be something like Silence of the labs of the decade.
Lisbeth is an original character with a unique balance of good and madness

8/10 And I'm waiting for the second part (already read it)


Das weisse Band - Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1149362/)
It's been a while since a film really socked and disturbed me. Haneke's film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year
and tells the story of a German village on the eve of the first world war beset by sporadic outbreaks of unexplained violence.

The film is shot in black and white and it's a film that I have to see it again soon just to make sure I haven't missed a thing.
Children suffering both physical and psychological are trying to find something that will take them out of that misery.
Haneke is trying to explain the birth of the Nazi generation but he revealed that he could place the story in many other places like modern Iran for example.
The children who carry out acts of random cruelty will grow up to be the generation that will spawn violence were his words in an interview I've read.

9/10

[clocker]

2012- stars several thousand CGI specialists.

Movie pissed me off.
OK, I get it...you want to make a movie where the entire world (except Africa, apparently) gets royally fuckatated. I've got no problem with that.
However, after destroying billions of people, don't expect me to give a fuck about the vapid cliched characters that you've decided will "humanize" the disaster for me.
99.9% of the human race didn't survive their first brush with this cataclysm and you want me to believe this mediocre band made it through multiple incidents of geological hell?

SPOILERS AHEAD...
John Cusack and his unbelievably lucky- and completely undeserving- gaggle make it to the ark and then proceed to fuck up the loading ramp, nearly causing the loss of thousands of (supposedly) precious lives, indeed the entire ark is nearly sunk.
When they manage to right their fuckup, everyone cheers.

I would have fucking shot him. Multiple times.
Oliver Pratt, ostensibly the "bad guy", was entirely correct...leave the ramp closed and get the hell out of there.

Then, less than a month after the entire surface of the Earth has moved all over the globe, the arc surfaces to sunny blue skies.
WTF?
The detonation of Yellowstone alone would have filled the atmosphere with enough dust to put us in an ice age for decades, if not centuries...none of the arc survivors would have seen the sun again in their lifetime, and maybe not even in the kids lifetimes. If you're going to destroy the world, don't go all soft on me in the last five minutes and show me fluffy clouds and ponies, have the courage of your convictions. These people have been through hell and it's only going to get worse.
What's going to happen when all the Pantene and Crest run out?

Finally...Africa.
Seems it was largely left untouched...albeit raised several thousand feet.
All of the surviving arks are headed there.
Wonder how the African survivors are going to feel about being overrun by a bunch of non-native outsiders who, judging by their actions during the rest of the movie, are going to be feeling pretty damn superior and self-righteous (remember, the majority of the survivors bought their way onto the ark and weren't chosen for their ethics and civic mindedness) and not about to let a bunch of indigenous savages get in the way of their plan for repopulating the world.

/SPOILERS

Oh well, I had low expectations and they were fully met, so I really have nothing to complain about.
It was a completely crap movie but, much like New Moon, 2012 catered precisely to it's target demographic and I'm sure they loved it.
It'll make a trillion dollars and the only joy I get from that is wondering what Roland Emmerich can do now that he's destroyed the entire planet...maybe take out the Milky Way?

I'd like to see John Cusack and his whiny kids survive that.

[clocker]

I especially like the use of the word fuckatated .Hard to work that into most conversations.
Depends on who you're talking to.

Rereading the initial post, I think it's not as coherent as it should be but the movie simply doesn't justify more effort on my part.

I really have no problem with blockbuster/special effects heavy movies...I'm totally willing to suspend belief and go along for the ride.
What kills me though is that most films of this genre spend so much energy/time/talent on the effects and then hang them on a script scribbled on a bar nap.
There was more thought given to the physics of cars tumbling through space that the motivation and actions of the protagonists.

I spent a lot of time- while watching the movie- thinking that the whole thing would have been far more entertaining if Woody Harrelson's character had been the focus...he had the requisite insanity and resourcefulness to maybe survive the catastrophe but no, he delivers the necessary plot point and gets discarded early.
Meanwhile, the prototypical middle class American family- who struggle to survive for ONE GODDAMN DAY in a national park- somehow find the reserves needed to navigate an epic upheaval.
Credit PBS and NPR for this, I suppose.

Sigh.

[brento]

I Confess (1953)
8/10

[IdolEyes787]

This part just struck me " the majority of the survivors bought their way onto the ark ".In the context of the movie does that make any sense seeing as monetary system as we know it would have a hard time withstanding the end of the world?
I mean even if you are the most corrupt asshole on the planet it would make little sense in taking anyone who isn't directly going to contribute to your future well-being.Doctors and builders and farmers and the like.
Comes right down to it I wouldn't even take like Playmates or anything because chances are the floozies would just leave me for someone else.

[clocker]

I understood- as much as anything in the film is comprehensible- that the tickets were sold to finance the construction, not that the wealth would be of any use afterwards.

This is of course absurd, since you're now saving a class of people who are used to being cared for/waited on, hardly the brave pioneer type that would be needed.
Saving the workers who actually built the arks would make more sense.

Did you wonder what the hell they thought they were going to do with the Mona Lisa in the post-apocalypse world?
Rebuild the Louvre so all the folks- with their massive amounts of leisure time- could ponder their former glory?
More likely, it'll get eaten, just like the giraffes and children.
The rich won't take to starving with grace.

But really, did you expect logic here?

[IdolEyes787]

They lost me as a potential viewer as soon as I saw this.

[IdolEyes787]

I know that you're joking but for a disaster movie to work it requires a real investment by the audience in the principle characters.,otherwise you don't care what happens.
The same of course can be said about any movie but even it's more necessary in disaster films where it's literally a question of life and death.

Either that or put in a lot of gratuitous nudity .

Btw it doesn't necessarily take backstory or a ton of character development to get people to care about a character. Even dogs without the benefit of dialogue but with a decent story and director behind them can accomplish that in one scene.

Of course dogs are nude .

The last movie I watched was Coraline. I loved the visuals. The story was kind of weak. It had some good strange moments but the plot just never seems to go anywhere of consequence.

I wish more films were made in this style though. It was a visual treat for sure. Especially in HD. Watch in on blu ray if you have the chance!

Watched Highlander (1986) yesterday.

First I have to say I'm biased since I grew up listening to Queen. So I thought the movie was great. Just 2 things that bothered me. Sean Connery will have to work on his spanish accent and the scenes with the Kurgan were too similar to those from the first Terminator movie.

The Informant!- Matt Damon.
Based on the true story of Mark Whitacre (Damon), the highest ranking corporate whistleblower in American history, The Informant! is a breezy look at corporate fraud and what the FBI will do to combat it.

A very successful VP in a little known but very powerful industry, Whitacre approaches the FBI and offers to help prove charges of worldwide price-fixing.
Problem is, he may have a personal agenda behind his seemingly altruistic offer.

The other, and far bigger, problem is that he may be crazy.

Matt Damon is the whole reason to see this film.
No Jason Bourne here...Damon gained a lot of weight for the role and is completely believable as a corporate drone with visions of grandeur.

Throughout the movie Whitacre's interior monologue is presented as a voice-over, much of it is outright hilarious even as it show's his increasing disconnect from reality.

Since the only version I could obtain was *cough* a cam, I can't comment on the cinematography or sound design other than to say that the soundtrack was oddly manic but ultimately quite apt.

Watch it to see Matt Damon give a good, if different, performance.

[IdolEyes787]

Hardware(1990) uncut .

A cult classic 90.s sci-fi spatterfest which after being hung up in legal limbo for years because of distribution rights recently became available on blu-ray/DVD in the previously ( in NA) uncut flirt with Xrated form.

Breath.

Like Terminator if envisioned by Clive Barker.Sex violence and cool music.With better production values it would compare well to staples of the genre.A few well known faces (Dylan McDermott) and a tough heroine to both root for and lust after.
The script though not amazing is at least unpredictable( as much as this type of movie allows ) which in itself is a welcome treat.
Anyone that has played Borderlands will see some distinct similarities to that as well.

I think anyone who appreciates a good dystopian movie and isn't put off by a little cheese a modicum of sex and a lot of violence would enjoy it.

I followed IdolEyes' suggestion (against my better judgement :P) and saw The Man Who Would be King.

I really enjoyed it. Why? Because it was serious and funny at the same time and it was an adventure. Not many movies are like that (I can only think of old Indy ones atm).
