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

Halloween:Resurrection'
Attachment 78931
it stinks

Stalingrad(1993)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/
One of the my favorite war movie.

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie

It was pretty good. It didn't try to be smart, yet it seemed better than most action flicks nowadays. Recommended eventhough it's a cartoon, sorry anime. Hadouken!

The characters are fully developed and act logically, the plot serves them instead of the reverse.

I liked it.

Finally got around to watching it.Seemingly I wait for everything to appear on cable anymore.

We had this discussion where Ben Affleck is a better actor then he is usually given credit for but I also think that he also tends to unforgivable blandness if left to his own devices, as is the case here him being the director.
As for the movie it is mostly believable( in a Hollywood unbelievable sort of way) , barring the central love(?) story - unsentimental ( good for a crime story I guess) and most importantly undeniably exciting.

I know this is a poor comparison but I thought if Boondock Saints were to be played entirely straight it would come out something like this.So I guess that means I enjoyed it.
I would have preferred that everyone have lived and started a minor league hockey team though with the FBI guy as the coach.

pirates of the carpian 4
it was good

Pirates of the Carpian is a videogame.:mellow:

Maybe you meant Prince of the Caspian?

I liked it better when cunts were scoring points out of ten and you were being reactive.

You refuse to watch anything of rumoured merit, seeing you've seen it all, cross-referencing each pastiche or nod as redundancy of worth.

You're a cynical, cynical creature IdolEyes787 and I can't help but feel some responsibility for that.

No sadly he meant 'Pirates of the Caribbean' , it's just that that word 'Caribbean' is just so farkin long and he ran out of energy half way through and made up a neato new word for us to try and decipher.
Thanks TheXman for your highly literate comment, both in terms of speeling, and it's inciteful dissection of the plot and characters, I know that I personally am enriched.

I don't think this means what you think it does.
In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean anything.

Chavis, you might consider cutting the comment from this thread and offering it to OlegL as a pick up line.
Now that he can plausibly loiter around libraries some freshman level philosophy babe might just go for it.
And by "it", I mean sex of course (or whatever you kids are up to these days).

I watched rocky iv yesterday. Not so bad movie. Better than third, worst than 1&2.

Thanx but I would be remiss not to also give God,government,big business,the fairer sex and my parents some credit.:)

Btw just as soon as anything meritorious featuring happy endings ,rainbows, unicorns or floppy eared puppies appears I will be on it like crazy on OlegL.:)

Also as to The Pirates of the Kara Bean, ironically or not ,birthed from an Amusement Park ride as it was ,the series deteriorates with each subsequent film's attempt to up the ante in terms of thrills.
Even the engineers who design roller-coasters have enough sense to realize that anticipation and momentary relief intensifies the "drama" when it comes.

To prove my point OlegL will now place his hand on a table and repeatedly smash a rock against it. After a while if he discounts the blood spurting in his eyes contrarily the pain seems to lessen.
Now I will have him stop for a minute and after which ask him to precede again.
What? He already seems to have some anxiety at the prospect.Who'd have figured?
Apparently not Jerry Bruckheimer .:mellow:

In this you are hoping that Oleg's kind of crazy isn't a dissociative one, otherwise he'll just keep banging that rock until there is pate

Or are you insinuating that most of the modern Hollywood directors suffer from some kind of dissociative disorder, they just keep banging the same crap out regardless of public opinion because even bad publicity is good.
In fact there seems to be this maudlin trend, where people are told just how fucking awful something is, so they toddle off for themselves just to see, so how are we supposed to stop the monkeys making crappola, when people rush off to see the latest stinker, ergo good return on investment, therefore the investors pour more money in. It is becoming a vicious cycle of moronic behaviour, with the public willingly handing over money no matter what.

rio 2011

"Herz aus Glas" (1976) by Werner Herzog. Interesting, mysterious, directness was a bit "documentary" (all Herzog lovers are familiar with his love for documentary style...). It was great concept, but I think it became much more metaphysical than Herzog himself wanted.

It is, certanly, epic work, if not because if its accessibility, it is because of it's uniqueness for bringing very important questions.

Watched Avatar on Saturday (I know, I'm a bit behind time :wacko: ). I thought it was great ... I was sold when the mech came walking past ... and all the glowing plants were fantastic too ... and the floating islands ... and the giant trees ... basically I liked the whole visual experience :D

We were a bit apprehensive about watching it. Reading the comments about the movie we didn't know what to make of it. But it was a pleasant surprise. It's really long but you don't notice it - which is always a good thing. There are no annoying parts where all you want to do is press fast forward. All in all it would get a 9 out of 10 from me ... 11 for the visual stuff though :D

I'm boycotting movie theatres until they install a handy fast forward button at every seat. The hell if I'm going to sit through anything I don't like ,whether it's suppose to add something to the story or not.
Also if it was "really long but you don't notice it" how did you notice that it was really long?

What I meant was that it's 2 hours and 40 minutes (or something like that) long ... checked the length of the movie on the net before watching. My "optimum time" for a movie is around 2 hours - there are exceptions but most have at least a few parts where you feel that it will never end. With Avatar I had no such moments.

Hope that explains it better - otherwise blame my mediocre knowledge of English :P

My optimum time for a movie is right around good.

Anyway don't take anything I wrote too seriously as I appreciate that you took the time to share your views.:)
..................................................
Leap Year A gently quirky "fish out of water" romantic comedy starring Amy Adams and Mathew Goode.
Nothing earth shattering here but it did it's job of making you hope that the leads wind up together in the end.

Though not having seen it I suspect it's a lot like Game of Thrones minus the sex,the blood and guts and multi-generational storyline.Leap Year does have beautiful Irish locales and a Louis Vuitton suitcase oddly named Louis as compensation though so I didn't feel particularly cheated.

Delicatessen.

A somewhat weird French film, but weird in a good way, as it does not try to fit into one of the Hollywood categories. A love story, horror flick, comedy, drama and more, all in one movie. Not as good as IMDB says, but still very watchable, especially if you're up for something different.



Once Upon a Time in America.

I was a bit disappointed. Not that it isn't good (De Niro is very good and James Woods is also great), but I feel the movie would be just as good if it were an hour shorter.

Imagine That

Never thought I'd say this but I cried during this. The scene at the end where Evan Danielson (Eddie Murphy) comes into a hall in a Kings costume. I'm a sucker for concepts where Father neglects their child(ren) and then manages to make up for it in the end. This is a family movie (ie. Kids movie that parents are dragged to). Not sure why it was rated so poorly; 5.3/10 on IMDb and 38% on RT.

tnansporter

fast 5

it was the best one better than the other parts

Arthur {2011}
it was pretty good! :-p

OK, I know this isn't a movie, so sue me.

The Shadow Line-Chiwetel Chiafor, Christopher Eccleston, Stephen Rea and lots of semi-recognizable BBC stalwarts.

During an earlier discussion about Game of Thrones, Idol expressed distaste with nihilistic, bleak storytelling...the kind where everybody dies.
The Shadow Line is the exemplar of just such entertainment.

The actors are superb, the plot appropriately convoluted and production values are up to the usual BBC standards (by which I mean, very high).
There is an odd obsession with close up shots of cigarettes being lighted and an excessive amount of gum chewing but I attribute this to British artistic sensibilities that escape my plebian understanding.

The series is only seven hours long and absorbing for the first three or four episodes but becomes increasingly grim and ultimately, predictable.
If every good intention is a death sentence, one is left wondering how the British make it through the moral morass of their days.

It does kind of explain Simon Cowell though.

Hop.

It just doesnt make any sense.Not really a comedy either.

OK you've qualified to access the invite section, now please stop.

Barry Lyndon - one of my favorites & Kubrick's best.

Good Neighbors- Scott Speedman, Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire.

This is a Canadian film so there's an excellent chance that IdolEyes is in it. I'm guessing he's the hugely important- yet uncredited- "Fire escape #1.

This nasty little noir is tightly centered around an apartment building in Quebec (which, judging by this film, has spectacular apartments for very reasonable rent) and four tenants with odd bonds.
There is a serial rapist/murderer, feuds over cats and a very wry premeditated killing ("I don't know how people do this!").

Not groundbreaking but well acted and plotted.
A pleasant diversion, as it were.

Captain America in 3D // 2011

Strong start then turned into a patriotic American slash fest.

I have watched so many movies in back 3 days.

Shutter Island
Donnie Darko
Perfume, A story of a murderer.
Sherlock Holmes

No but I do know somebody who knows somebody who knows the fire escapes agent.

I also wrote and directed a play once. True story(thus phar)

Wasn't very good (still true).The critics said that I completely lacked talent. So I've been condemned to little more than punching up Michael Bay scripts since then.

It stands to reason that in a country with a total population of what...200-300?, that any Canadian film with a crowd scene would include you.

Speaking of crowd scenes...did you know that there used to be a whole subclass of "actors" who specialized in being the background bodies in restaurant/party crowd scenes?
They owned their own tuxes/gowns and specialized in being animated without upstaging the scene focus.
Apparently, close study of films from the 40's and 50's reveal the same group of people in the background so frequently that people formed semi-fan clubs devoted to them.

Or maybe I just made that up but either way, it could be an interesting hook for a movie.
A Canadian movie, mayhaps.

I answer any open casting call that says "Boyishly handsome but still with undeniable sexual magnetism".

For you viewing pleasure and because stupidity can never be repeated enough.

Planet of the Apes(Tim Burton version),was trying to prepare myself for the new movie and freshen my memory...boy,Wahlberg's acting sucked or what...

Everything about that movie sucked.Actually everything about every Planet of the Apes movie save the first one sucked.

anuvahood , the funniest film i have seen for ages lol

Frankly I doubted you until you added the lol.

Anuvahood was just terrible. I gave it the benefit of the doubt because not many "hood" films get rated more than "meh".
