He was one of the most influential and successful solo artists of the period.

Unknown (2011) with Liam Neeson.

Phenomenal movie....

The Adjustment Bureau is a love story. Fellas....avoid.

Red Riding Hood.....surprisingly good (I can't believe it)

I know who Donovan is, but I didn't know you talked about him per se. I love Mellow Yellow.

Also again maybe it being a cam did this but I never felt the bond between the young characters so necessary to a film like this.
Yeah I'm sure all you younger people buy into it and will think it's the best thing since sliced bread but then you're all idiots aren't you.

Wow Super 8 sort of tanked

Super 8 — $37.0 million opening

and of that an astounding 71% of the audience was over 25 . Like did people confuse this with Calendar Girls?
At this rate I expect Transformers 3 Darkside of Pink Floyd to make 300 gazillion dollars.

i saw X-men, and it was great ! when the submarine is out of the water...really impressive !

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)

One of the best documentaries i ever watched. Its funny and entertaining. Most of all, it will give you something to think about and leave you with smile on your face.

source code. it was awesome and very well put together movie

:lol:

The last movie I watched was "The Town". It was very good.

My girl dragged me last night to see Bridesmaids, and I'm pretty glad she did as I laughed constantly throughout(I can't lie to you guys, I dragged her to see it). I was with my sisters recently and this movie was basically all they talked about. But I immediately dismissed at being another drama filled chick-flick. I was wrong. The "serious moments" were minimal but the humor was from start to finish.

Anyways, I'm glad I saw it.

Before that I saw Round Midnight and Let's Get Lost. Both are jazz movies(actually the latter is a documentary). And I can only recommend Let's Get Lost. I literally fought myself to finish Round Midnight. This movie stars some of my favorite jazz musicians, but none of them could act worth a shit. Bobby Hutcherson was the best of the worst.

I was dragged to bridesmaids as well. It was very funny IMO

Dylan Dog. I've had much bigger expectations for that movie. 5.5/10.

Beastly // 2011.

I don't know why this was rated so poorly. Sure there was the odd plot hole and few awkward lines but it was alright for a teen romance.

Major flaw I found was (possible spoilers);

When Kyle (the beast) got the "ugly" spell cast upon him, he hid in a dark room. When his father turned the light on he knew it was him instantly. While Kyle the beast was tramping around the country side nobody knew it was him.

This film stars that hot chick from High School Musical, that hot twin who always act together, the womaniser (playing a womanising blind guy) from How I Met Your Mother and the dude from Stormbreaker.

edit: apparently it wasn't very faithful to the book. Reason for poor rating?

fast and furios rio heist- just awsome!!!

Henry's Crime, and it sucked, till the end I was waiting for something to happen but it didn't.

Sucker Punch. God what a shitty movie.

The Lincoln Lawyer- Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei.
Disclosure: I've read the books from which this is sourced

Fifteen years ago, this would have been a prime example of a Hollywood mainstream movie.
The casting is OK- McConaughey is suitably smarmy and self-assured and Tomei still has a magnificent smile but William Macy and Bryan Cranston are criminally underused.
The plot telegraphs it's twists so no one is left wondering what is going on.
Basically, it's Law and Order: SVU with slightly higher production values.

I'm not even sure why I'm writing about it as I have no feelings one way or the other a mere two days after viewing.

It can't be.

Heard he'd come down with marriage, two+ kids, and is thinking of joining the Tea Party Movement.







How's you, you ornery bar-steward.

Aren't you supposed to be in Indy?

Super 8

It was ok. A lot of funny moments with the kids. It was kind of your typical alien movie(alien wants to get home, alien gets home), but entertaining nonetheless.

Yup.

Details later.

Friday the 13th // 2009

Brief prequel at the start about Jason and his mother was appreciated for those of us who never saw the past titles. I thought that it was going to be a little more suspenseful but turns out it was a teen porno/drama/slash fest.

lol. you've never watched the originals?

Honestly though if you see one you've basically seen them all anyways.Except for the first one of course as there was no Jason at that point and so they had to work extra special hard to make it sufficiently shitty.

Anyway I watched Green Lantern and while I think it doesn't deserve the terrible rating it got on Rotten Tomatoes it's total lack of charm not to mention humanity leaves me thinking that the writer got confused and thought he was writing a grocery list instead of a movie.

I've always said that superhero movies needed to be played basically straight to work but straight doesn't mean bloodless/emotionally empty.That and you should also never have "getting it right for fanboys" as your primary concern as I hate to break it to everyone but most comic source material is a big stinking pile of stupid.

litle man 2006

......

Well I wheeled out the shank again last night (Shawshank Redemption) It is still the same funny, sad, thoughtful and uplifting movie it always was. This is one of those movies that does not date, and leaves you with a belief in the power of the human spirit.

Deja Vu (2006) Directed by Tony (I'm the brother not worthy of knighthood) Scott and starring Denzel Washington.

"New Orleans-based maverick ATF agent who is brought in on a top-secret government program to catch the terrorist responsible for a ferry bombing that kills hundreds. Able to do what most law enforcement officers only dream of, Carlin is now able to look back in time at the perpetrator's movements and at the life of the innocent woman whose death would set the events into motion".

Scott does his best to muck up the story with his idiotic Michael Bay slow-mo shots but nothing can detract from either the mounting tension or feelings of "what will happen next" that the movie generates. As an antithesis to something like Green Lantern the film also bleeds humanity even at it's silliest which unfortunately is pretty silly.
Anyway Washington is great as usual even if his character is a little familiar and the supposing cast ( Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel and Adam Goldberg among others) is nothing less than uniformly good.

Sentimentalist that I am I really enjoyed this movie, probably more than I should but sentiment aside it did keep me guessing ( and cheering for the good guys ) until the very last frame which is a feat in itself.

latest one, i've seen is Sucker punch 2011 and was a cool movie , IMDB 6.4/10, Also the sound tracks like bjork-Army of me and others make it a more memorable experience :)


all thanks to torrents ;)

That I'm going to watch tomorrow. Today, season of the witch, Movie was good but I was expecting more from the climax then 4 men battling against a demon inside a church.

sucker punch had very cool visuals and action but lacking a storyline to hold it all together. 7/10

The film also had an underlying social commentary about the American state of mind, not withstanding the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, much of the terrorist threat to America is from homegrown individuals (like Timothy McVeigh) and groups like 'The Order' ultra-right wing paramilitarists who see it as their right to bear arms, much like the fruitcake at the center of Deja Vu. This is something that has been forgotten in the 'War on Terror' currently being conducted in the shattered remains of countries that posed no military threat to America, while Al Qaeda happily hid out in the haven that is Pakistan, a country that is 'friendly' to the U.S.
The movie in a way serves as a reminder to for the U.S. to look inward as well as outward, and is far more prophetic than the current crop of 'the aliens are coming' paranoia films such as Skyline and Battle Los Angeles.

So do you think the decision to film in a post Katrina New Orleans is also tied to this? I mean except for a couple throw-away shots of the destruction the locale isn't really much of a factor in the story.
Btw I just discovered that the woman who is Denzel's love interest (Paula Patton) is in the upcoming Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0LQnQSrC-g

That and supposedly Jeremy Renner is supposedly going to take over for Tom Cruise.

@1:37 is Michael Bay directing?

No apparently Ghost Protocol has some sort of plot.

I knew it would suck.

Transformers 3.

Better than the second, not as good as the first. Nothing special plotwise, but the special effects were damn good.
