Watch any good movies lately?

TheWorldIsMine · October 2006

I watched The Last Samurai the other night, very good movie. Also watched Se7en for the hundredth time. What about you guys?

bain_nick · October 2006

I don't watch to many movies, be it T.V. (with no cable) or at the cinema. I did deliberately not see Tomb Raider when it was on TV this weekend past. That movie should go the way of E.T. for the NES if you know what I mean.
I guess some good movie's i've seen recently would be the trilogy, Blue White and Red.

TheWorldIsMine · October 2006

I never watched Tomb Raider either, I have been sorely disappointed by every other game that's been turned into a movie, so I didn't see the point. And what is blue, white and red?

bain_nick · October 2006

A great trilogy. Directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski. And reprsenting the French flag. Its not easy to explain but the movies are brillantly directed by said person and are based on three diferent peoples lives. They're voiced mainly in Frence (And Polish) so it was subtitle reading for me but it was well worth it. It is rated R though (at least the one I watched was).
And the Super Mario Brothers movie wasn't bad, if you ignored any reference to the Mario Brothers franchise of that time.

Oki_RPG · October 2006

I recently saw The Island on DVD, its kinda interesting but just not so much, sometimes overdramatic but still a good movie. I want to see Man of the Year, i mean Robin Williams playing a sort of Jon Stewart character and running for president and actually winning

It has to be a good movie or else ill lose faith in Robin Williams, hes the best comedian.

Ok - shoot me, but I liked the Tomb Raider movie. Mostly goofy fun. No, it's not a great movie, but it's a fun one. The sequel wasn't so hot.

We've been watching Season 9 of Stargate SG-1 on dvd. We tend to watch mostly tv shows on dvd... The Office season 2 was also a recent marathon viewing...

I'm looking forward to the new Christopher Guest movie - "For Your Consideration" coming out next month I think... I love his movies.

King Luca Blight · October 2006

Lord of War - I watched it a few days ago on DVD. It's a good movie; it was probably the third time Ive watched it. So stop wasting time on this message board and get the movie.

King Luca Blight · October 2006

I strongly suggest watching I Heart Huckabees.

jinx · October 2006

Recently saw the first season of Firefly and then the Movie Serenity
that was great,
i dont understand why it was canceled

Vigivalgus · October 2006

I get movies delivered to my teevee with my cable subscription. I watched kiss kiss, bang bang, which was a great movie in a few regards, especially to fans of old detective stories. Morlang, a Dutch film about a passe artist, wasn't as good as I hoped, but the characters were great. The ending felt jarring, though, but not in a happy or intruiging way.

I can't sit down and finish Everything is Illuminated, but it's piss-your-pants hilarious so far. I still can't take Elijah Wood seriously as an actor...

Shev · November 2006

Seven is my favorite movie. I watched Battle Royal, that was a crazy and good movie.

I want to see Saw III and the Illusionist.

panny cake · November 2006

Saw the Borat movie last night. I can't think of a funnier movie off the top of my head.

The General · November 2006

Saw Borat a couple nights ago. Some truly genius moments in there... "wizards' sleeve" oho!

Vigivalgus · November 2006

Finally watched the Animatrix. Some of the highest quality animation I've ever seen. Each one is done so differently; it's like eating the best part of nine different meals.

Kefka_VI · November 2006

Haven't seen a good movie since the time i saw keeping mum four mounths ago.

Cloud Strife 7 · November 2006

Heh, seesaw. Always funny to talk about whether you have or have not seen Saw. Although I have no plans to watch it. I'm not a fan of horror films most of the time, even less so when they are splatter. My friend Pat loves them though. The Final Destianation trilogy is one of his favorites because of the number ofoutlandish deaths. I watched Cry_Wolf last night and that was pretty good actually. The intial previews for when it was in theatres was pretty bad, but later on a dvd preview it looked worth watching.

I haven't actually bee to the theatres to see anything for awhile, I'm gonna go see Borat tonight with a few friends I think. The cheaper cinema isn't playing it, and we have to wait until 5 for a freind to get off work so we're gonna pay extra ::sigh:: oh well.

Vigivalgus · November 2006

Borat. Like sex, only more offensive. It had these incredible moments of unbridled genius, and then long periods of mediocrity. I laughed myself stupid, but I can honestly say I'm not a better person for having watched it. The extended scene where Borat and his large, hairy producer wrestle naked in a hotel room was particularily disturbing. The fact that there's a half-dozen lawsuits pending is a tell.

I don't want to see Saw III.

Seesaw. Heh.

Optimus Prime is British · November 2006

Borat looked...retarded and insulting to the intelligence of its viewers, so I didn't want to see it. However, I'm gonna go see Casino Royale tomorrow...hardcore Bond fans be damned, I'm all for Craig.

Slayer of God · November 2006

Caught My Fellow Americans on TBS the other day. Man, does that movie have some awesome one-liners.

"You could spit into a petri dish and create a whole new civilization."

Athiestic doubt · November 2006

The Prestige.

Do yourself a favor and see this movie. I actually don't want to elaborate on the plot at all since I found it so enjoyable to let the movie unfold before you. My standards are somewhat high for movies, although, I don't go out to see many, but this movie blew me away.

bain_nick · November 2006

My brother bought me for an early christmas present "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Any movie done by Tim Burton is highly recommended

Kefka_VI · December 2006

"The place promised in our early lives"
One of the best anime movies I ever saw.

First Frog · December 2006

Blood Diamond was OK.

Shev · December 2006

Happy Feet, it was pure genious. I've been delaying to watch Big Fish on DVD.... Apocolyptico (or however its spelled) looks interesting.

Devit · December 2006

Watched Casino Royale last weekend. Probably my favorite Bond movie behind From Russia With Love and Goldfinger.

bain_nick · December 2006

Watched Hoodwinked. Enjoyed it.

Don't know why but I still enjoy all of those "childrens" movies more then the "adult" films that get released.

bain_nick · December 2006

And now, 6 days later, watched Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade. Which is defintly not a childrens anime, but is based off Little Red Riding Hood, loosly.

Man, I watched that one a few weeks ago. Perhaps the single most depressing film I've ever watched.

Plug · December 2006

I've seen a few holocaust films that were a bit heavier and more soul-crushing (The Grey Zone in particular), but yeah, it does have a pretty bleak spin. I loved the ending, though. Very tragic and poignant. Although the story had been leading towards the last moment throughout its duration, it was still kind of surprising. And in retrospect, had it ended any differently, it would have cheapened the film, I thought. Anyways, splendid movie, Jin-Roh.

Lately I've been watching that Last Exile series. I'm only about eight episodes in so I'm not really sure what to think. The animation is lovely and I like the atmosphere, but I dunno. Aside from Lavie none of the characters have jumped out at me as being particularly interesting, so we'll see. It's definitely not bad, at any rate.

Well, if it had ended differently, there goes the Little Red Riding Hood metaphor that Oshii was trying to hammer throughout the whole film. Yeah, any other ending would have made the film cliche. Bleak, but very deep and satisfying piece.

Right now, I'm going through and watchin Hellsing, having gotten the box set. Fun little anime. It's interesting that they're trying to play up a rivalry between Protestants and Catholics, at least in part. Seras is a bit on the whiney side, but I suppose that's mandatory for anime heroes/heroines, at least in multi-episode series.

Zidane Tribal · December 2006

I bought and watched A Scanner Darkly on DVD the day before yesterday. It was very deep and provocative with it's not-too-distant-future setting and drug abuse overtones. Keanu Reeves gave a great performance as the main character. Robert Downey, Jr. and Woody Harrelson were pretty good as supporting characters. I recommend you buy (not rent!) this movie the first chance you get!

Howdy, Stranger!
