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

Well, I watched parts of The Thin Red Line, just skipped around though. However, this prompted me to watch the entire miniseries of The Pacific over a couple of days. Now THAT is some good entertainment based on war.

nye; Have you had a look at Band of Brothers (Mini-series)?

Hell yeah man, I saw it back in the day. I think I'll re-watch the whole thing though when I get a chance.

Like most people I loved Band of Brothers hated the Pacific.
I watched it.I kept hoping that it would get better.It didn't in fact it got worse.
How the Pacific managed to both not focus on the battles and yet not tell a story or "flesh-out" any of the characters is beyond me.

Total waste of however many hours that I spent watching it that I will never get back.

I watched Knight and Day with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. I wasted 2 hours of my life watching that one. It had good action, but the story was silly, and all the jumping around from one scene to the next drove me crazy. It is always nice to watch Cameron Diaz but other then that save your time.

I also didn't notice that until I watched a YouTube video of those scenes in slow motion.

Machete . And i think it wasnt good .

Haha I also watched Knight & Day. I thought it was pretty shitty, but in a hilarious way. Wouldn't have appreciated paying money to see it though. It's actually pretty similar to Machete in that regard. Both awful movies, but at least Machete was aware of how bad it was.

Did you notice the penis insert before the credits?

Is it even possible to miss that stuff?

The Human Centipede
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1467304/

I thought the whole movie was going to be about a German capturing 3 tourists and joining them up. Little did I know that it all happened within the first 30mins and the rest of the film is about what he does with his centipede. Had potential to be an epic .... thriller? Nonetheless was very enjoyable.

I'm a huge horror/thriller fan but as of late none really had me holding my breathe - this flick did :D.

As I was watching it I couldn't help but imagine that there will be a parady porno - The Human CentiPORN ?

PS. Ashley C. Williams (Lindsay) is fucking hot,

Spoiler: Show

too bad she was in the middle

Spoiler: Show

Don't know how there can be a sequel when pretty much everyone died in the end.

Ha. Never thought I would see anyone call the movie "enjoyable". :D

Sick more like.
What apparently passes for "horror" (movies) nowadays is little more than pointlessly watching people suffer without any accompanying ethical concerns .
I think that's the defining part ,the sheer pointlessness of the nastiness .
No one to root for , no chance of a "good" outcome just let's all be voyeurs to the vileness.
No and thanks.

IdolEyes what do you class as a 'good' horror then?

Yer mum. :P

I think that the audience should always be encouraged to root for /relate to the victim and not the killer.Sadly more often not the case anymore.

Some people think that Silence of the Lambs started all this killer as hero bullshit but the essential different was that in that movie , as magnetic as the Hannibal Lecter character was , people( at least the normal ones) still wanted for Clarice Starling to "win" and for "The Cannibal" to fail .Same with the original Halloween, original Nightmare on Elm Street,The Exorcist,Se7en,Night of the Living Dead etc .In all those even if things don't always turn out well for the protagonists you never stop hoping that it will.
Now unfortuantely it's just let's watch largely "deserving" unlikable people be brutalized and murdered and little more so we get our jollies.

Is the Human Centipede disturbing ?Obviously but then so is seeing the remains of the family pet after it has been run over by a car.
Point being it takes more than merely sickening and disturbing for something to be a "good" horror movie.

Unless maybe you yourself are also sick or disturbed.:unsure:
..........................................................................................
Sherlock Holmes the one with Robert Downey and Jude Law.
I honestly don't think that Guy Ritchie could have made much a worse movie if he had deliberately set out to do so.
R.D. Jr.'s incredibly bad accent aside ( So he's not good with dialects still shouldn't someone at some point have said "Look this really isn't working, maybe just speak normally and we will work around it") isn't the entire "point" of Holmes is that he uses his mind not his fists? And his puny little fists at that.
Also someone kill the Art Director ( London never looked more fake and after Van Helsing or the cartoon version of One Hundred and One Dalmatians that's saying a lot).
And the Costume Designer (Deer- stalker hat not 19th century metrosexual ffs)

Want a different take on Sherlock Holmes try Young Sherlock Holmes instead.
Same added female love interest and supernatural overtones but unlike this atrocity I actually enjoyed it and actually cared what happened to the characters.

Of course Barry Levinson only won an Oscar and was never married to Madonna so what the fuck does he know?
Also does everything that cost x amount of dollars have to viewed as a 'franchise anymore ? Can't a film/story simply end without always having 5 extra minutes of pointlessness tacked on?

Speaking of Young people, I saw Young Frankenstein for the first time and it is amazing.

@IdolEyes, what are your views on the Saw franchise then?

I thought Saw 1 was OK but after that I didn't see Saw.

saw the expandables and im quite disappointed, i mean i kinda knew what's going to happen from the very first few minutes i watched and that's sad

How to Train Your Dragon (2010). I held off on this one for quite some time. Sure, it was getting really high IMDB ratings, but I just didn't think I could stand another "kid and his mystical pet" story. This is one of those, and I was tempted to doze off in the first 15 minutes, however; the story got better. The Disney-ish over-the-top characters became somewhat pushed to the back and I found myself liking the show.

The animation is enjoyable and it is easy to get sucked in to feeling for the characters in their moments of peril. Nice cartoon story. With the caveat of "know what you are watching", give it a try. 8/10

Knight and Day - Another action movie.What a repetitive genre.Yes it does give you the action and gun shots explosions and imposable out comes.The drugged black outs get quite annoying...7/10

I like cumshot and BJ pron btw :D

had watched predator :)
pretty nice

StreetDance 3D and i give it one 6/10. Not so good the movie ;|

Just don't watch A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, apparently it's not very funny.:eyebrows:

Was that clip supposed to be funny? :unsure:

2010 - Jonah Hex

it was decent enough for a viewing. i enjoyed looking @ megan fox throughout and the whole talking to the dead thing was cool. a lot of the scenes went by fast enough so u don't get bored, but then using that too much might leave u not knowing wtf is going on. early dialog tries to be witty and humorous while later dialog is just there for the sake of being a non-silent film. john malkoviches weapon of mass destruction was pretty 1337 as well. too bad it wasn't used to it fullest potential. exploding arrows, glowing bowling balls and a fast dog. 7/10

Machete - I wanted this movie to be a eight but it was not.It was a seven...I like how its all cheap but has some big stars and stuff and any movie with jessica alba gets extra points.The unrealistic chopping of body parts reminds me of the expendables and i seen that first so i'm grown tired of it, It bores me.story gets meh but success to the film.

You're comparing unrealistic chopping of body parts to the Expendables? Haven't you seen Aftermath yet?

Typical French film.

Being that it's French, described as pretentious, and is called "The Mustache", I'm guessing the entire film focuses on the guy (pictured) shaving a long-had-mustache, and a woman (also pictured) who has apprehensions about him shaving it off... :unsure:

Niche market, I suppose. :idunno:

ROFL megabytme

I watched Revolver last night, I guess it's one of them movies you have to watch twice to actually understand what's going on. Did he turn into a schizophrenic when he was in a solitary cell?

Piranha very good movie

well, not exactly but you're not that far from the truth.

Marc and Agnes are an attractive, successful Parisian couple, who have been together for many years. One evening, before joining friends for dinner, Marc decides on a whim to shave off the mustache he's worn all of his adult life. He waits patiently for his wife's reaction, but neither she nor his friends seem to notice. Stranger still, when he finally tells them, they all insist he never had a mustache. Is Marc going mad? Is he the victim of some elaborate conspiracy? Or has something in the world's order gone terribly awry?
