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

batman

Faster- Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson.
Another unbelievably stupid movie...I'm on a roll.
It starts stupid and continues to shed brain cells till I gave up at around the 30 minute mark.
Sorry, but life is too short to waste on poorly made films.
Like this one.

Fallen (1998)
I liked the idea very much and the soundtrack.
Some originality in it. Overall enjoyable 7/10.

Just watched it too, and yeah I kind of get what you mean,
it is not that good but I didn't think it was that bad either.

And previously to that one
I watched Unstoppable... Damn! I can't remember being so engaged by a movie in a really long time,
awesome I loved it, made me remember how nervous I was when I saw Vertical Limit in the theater years ago.
Liked this movie so much that I'm getting the one from HiDt to replace the one I have.

ok, gotta go now, Idol is about to start.

You've made my point for me.
Unstoppable was in most respects, a bad movie- some excruciating special effects and a completely predictable plot...BUT, entertaining in a very undemanding way.
Faster was just stupid from frame one.

No one in Unstoppable did the impossible- case in point *SPOILER*, when Washington is running down the top of the cars, he reaches the locomotive and has to stop...the gap is too great to jump.
On the other hand, Faster opens with Johnson, clearly 'roided up, released from prison and RUNNING to the nearest town (I guarantee he couldn't run over a hundred yards without suffering a coronary), hopping into a cherry Chevelle SS and murdering his first victim...all within his first hour of freedom.

I don't mind suspending disbelief but will not tolerate being insulted.

I always thought that the reason that 6'6'' two hundred an forty pound guys didn't run marathons was because they were too busy playing football.
Also it should come as no surprise that when the Rock is involved in a movie murder is going to happen.Granted usually to the concept of acting but murder nonetheless.

Btw I do believe that the Rock has considerable charisma but then so did Elvis if you get my meaning.

a.) The Rock will die alone, in a bathroom, fat, and of a drug overdose.

b.) You have posters of Elvis, "The Rock", and 80's heartthrob Rick Springfield on your bedroom wall.

He's mine. :angry:

You guys are fighting over Jesse Ventura?

That's just sad.

Unfortunately Rick Rude is dead.

Can't remember if I ever asked if I was the only one who's seen Dear Zachary?

Wrenching.

When the sensory storm finally ebbed, all I could think of was how positively evil my ex-wife was, how much the (true) story's female antagonist sounded like her, and, but for the grace of God, how easily I could have ended up dead from having been with her.

I can't give it a score, sorry.

Tropa de Elite 2 - O Inimigo Agora É Outro IMDB
Cool movie!

I liked Terminator and Terminator 2,hated 3 and other than Moon Goodblood's breasts saw no point to 4

I like Terminator series, too.
Yesterday I saw John Carpenter's The Thing

9/10

Black Hack Down veryy good movie

Due Date.

It had Zach whatshisname doing the same role as in the Hangover but a bit more metrosexual, and Robert Downey Junior as his more normal counterpart.

It was entertaining but I'd have killed the idiot halfway through the trip.


At any rate, if youve seen the hangover and couldn't get enough, watch this, otherwise go and see something better.

Lethal Weapon- Danny Glover, Mel Gibson.
Two things struck me after viewing this film:
-Mel Gibson could actually act
-Mel had an amazing head of hair

Lethal Weapon is one of the ur-buddy cop movies and rolls along quite nicely till the end when all reason and logic disappears and Gary Busey dies*.
I haven't seen the sequels yet but assume that Riggs' death wish is tamped down, thereby removing his characters main point of interest.

All in all, not a great movie but good enough to warrant a watch.


*IMO, Gary Busey dying is always a good idea- preferably sooner than later- but the easy ambiguity of this death is too pat to take.

I remember reading something a long time ago about the climatic fight scene where Gibson and Busey were both too spastic to do any of the stuff that the fight choreographer wanted them to do so in the end they just let them wing it and edited out the parts where they slapped each other like little girls and the like.

Btw those were the good old days when brainless as the movie may have been it was still targeted at an adult audience and the studios didn't demand a PG-13 .

Also every time they show the film on TV they edit out what I think is one the the best , albeit throwaway, scenes .The one at the shooting range where Gibson shoots a happy face on the target.

And yes the movies lose all purpose and any aspirations to character development ( unless mugging for the camera constitutes character development ) after the first one.
It's one of those cases where the people involved with the movie think just because they are all having a great ole time so is the audience.

I watched a couple of movies.

Full Metal Jacket

I'm not a fan of Kubrick, but after seeing this I might star becoming one. It's hard to put into words, but the movie shows the boot camp and war as objectively as possible. No corny music. The guy from law and order did a great job, imo. If you're into war movies, this is a must see.



Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Russel Crowe with sideburns. Nuff said. :P
Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised. There is action, but it SMART action. Didn't know whether the doctor was Darwin or not, though. :D

Inside Job-Charles Ferguson.
A documentary (narrated by Matt Damon) that details the events that lead up to and the aftermath of the latest (and current) financial apocalypse.
We're fucked and will continue to be so.
In fact, I would consider the events of the past few years to be but foreplay...the real boning is yet to come.
If this film (currently in the running for an Oscar) doesn't enrage you, you're dead or part of the very culture the movie examines.

Inside Job is profoundly depressing, which was probably Ferguson's intent, so it must be considered a complete success.

Aargh.

Sigh.

I Spit on Your Grave

A woman gets raped -> seeks revenge.

It's a decent watch, but you've probably seen the plot before (many times).
The predictability to this film is really unfortunate - could have been a lot better.

If you're into rape, revenge and gross stuff it's worth a watch. I wouldn't watch it again.

did u watch both versions? there's the 1978 AND teh 2010 model.

tbh, i watched them becuz of the gore and teh brutality of what was to cum from the angry women. while on the skinny side the original actress is much prettier, but the 2010 version of the film was a lot more brutal. i enjoyed both.

Tangled made me cry so hard. completely serious it was amazing.

Real men don't cry :huh:

The King's Speech (2010)
Colin Firth, Geoffery Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce

Absolutely fantastic. (Un)fortunately this film is looming too large in my mind for a decent review right now. If you're a fan of Firth or Rush, 1930s England or character dramas it is a must-see. I would also recommend it to high-school students studying WW2. 10/10.

:shuriken:

Secret Window - pretty good, could have had a little more action

Still watching The Fighter - Looks so good and very different from many latest movies.

Skyline / 2010

Another Michael Bay film without a budget.

Poor acting, terrible character development, weak plot; the whole movie was about a group of self obsessed couples trying to exit a hotel while some supposed aliens stare at them.

The aliens had better character development.

Yes but since he then didn't have to endure all the following stupidity, wasn't he really the lucky one?

As it turns out, yes, he was the lucky one.
Since the film was obviously designed as part one of a franchise, he probably didn't feel so blessed getting killed off so early in the first installment but hopefully he has better things to do.
Like, naps.

What a piece of shit human, suicidal cocksucker, asshole likes that movie?

I get it, but you don't. This was the time where men manned up to go to war against the biggest enemy earth had ever created. Hitler was banging the war drums like crazy and war was bound to happen. It was the eve of the biggest war the world has ever seen.

And you have sympathy for a stuttering King? Fuck you and your kind!

Not to try and rain on your maniacal rantings but it's a movie :mellow:, sometimes the characters that we cheer for aren't morally perfect or even for that matter human:mellow:.
As for actual history , hindsight as they say is 20/20 :ermm:

Btw at least the writer(s) of The King's speech , short-sighted or not , had some small measure of talent since they could have the character curse multiple times and not come of as some sloped headed idiot ,as feat that seems to have entirely escaped you.

Colloquialism run amuck, at all (at all)?

unstoppable

its good movies

my rating is 9.5/10

I saw the trailer when I went and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt1. Some how a whole movie revolving around a moving trains doesn't do it for me.
