Hahaha, I remember watching that in film class. What a whacked out movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I thought it was a decent excercise in storytelling, but having the story really be about Tommy Lee Jone's character didn't work for me as most of the movie never involved him and its hard to care about a story when the main character is barely in the film.

Also, I thought Anton Chigur was overhyped. He was just your run iof the mill psychopath character with severe features and a odd haircut. Ledger's Joker is FAR superior IMO.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is awesome. I really liked the silent section of my film history class. Those were some good days before the damn talkies took over.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw it too yesterday and enjoyed it. I loved Tom Cruise's part in the film. I can see though why some groups are pissed about the retard side of the movie because they do use that quite often.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Tropic Thunder today as well. I thought it was pretty good. It's definitely a great concept for a movie and overall I enjoyed it. I don't always like Jack Black, but I liked him here. Bonus: Justin Theroux who is a alum from my college had screenwriting, story, and executive producer credits...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Collateral. 7/10.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

My girlfriend wants to know where the hell Guametela bay is.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Super High Me.

Those snack bars looked rather tasty.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw that last week when browsing the hollywood video shelves and figured what the hell, why not.

I found it to be way too boring (friends did also) and took too long to get to the super high part after abstaining from it for 30 days and even then, it became a letdown. Super Size Me was interesting at least :p

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Pretty good. Liked it a lot.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams...

Guess that movie. :) (I had already seen it earlier.)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw 21 last night. Not amazing, but glad I saw it. Didn't follow the book too closely, but it's a movie, it needs action.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The book probably didn't follow the true real-life story too closely either.

In real-life, the card counting genius was an asian. In the movie, an asian is the just the goofy, incompetent sidekick.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The book was written as non-fiction, and I've never seen it disputed. In fact, it's the only reason they are on the map.

The movie is only "inspired" by the true-story.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Langoliers. Just as great as when I was a kid. I'll give it a 7 because the 2nd half didn't have half the atmosphere/suspense that the first one had.

Btw it's an 2h45m miniseries.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

JFK. 7/10. Intruiging. I can imagine it's an 8/10 movie if you're American.

Definately, Maybe. 7/10. Romantic comedy with a nice twist. A girl asks her dad how he and her (divorcing) mother met... He starts the story but doesn't tell which of his 3 girlfriends is her mother, she has to find out herself. Three cute women by the way.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I always thought Definately, Maybe looked kind of twisted.


He basically is telling her three chicks he nailed and saying...guess who!

Re: Last movies you saw
 

So... its basically Mamma Mia with a gender reversal. In Mamma Mia, its a slutty women who slept with three guys.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Well, actually he never slept with one of them.

But of course the rest is a bit immoral.

Still a cute movie though. Reminds me of the girls in my life.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Burn After Reading today. Wow, that was a bad movie. I can't remember the last movie I saw that was so bad.

Brad Pitt's performance was perhaps the one redeeming quality of the film.

I wish I had seen Shia LeBouf's latest vehicle, Eagle Eye, instead.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I caught up on Park Chan-wook's vengeance trilogy after seeing Oldboy when it first came out. That's still my favorite of the three followed by Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.

I also saw his latest movie, I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK, which I really enjoyed.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Speed Racer
The film makes great use of colors, but picture perfect definition of style over substance.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched I <3 Huckabees in the van yesterday. I enjoyed it. Very strange and interesting script but they pulled it off fairly well.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Did it inspire the Spinto Band to write a new song? :) Btw, how much more of England before you get your little break?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Enchanted, and no matter how questionable it may be for me to watch. It really was an awesome movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I though Burn After Reading was pretty good actually. It was different yes, but I enjoyed it. Had a few halarious momments. And last night I saw Religulous, which was awsome, so awsome that I felt it deserved its own thread which I just made.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. 7/10

Has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, but who cares. It really reminded me of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, with the corrupting meteor and all. Even the graphics sometimes were alike.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Define has nothing to do with Final Fantasy?
Because I always assumed there was little interconnectivity between the games.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

At least the games have the turn/time-based battles, some magic, random battles, etc.
It just didn't feel like FF.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Maybe if the male characters were more feminine looking..

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Man, I would love to see a movie with turn based battles

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Speed Racer. The screen transitions made the movie. Made me want an F-Zero movie. HATED the little kid.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Some Like it Hot - Good comedy. Jack Lemon was great and Marilyn Monroe, in this movie, just fucking hot.
Seven Year Itch - Another Monroe flick that I really enjoyed. Tom Ewell did a good job.
Mind Game - Trippy anime that some might not like...i liked it. Wild art
Into the Wild - it was ok, a bit drab
Le Samourai (1967) - Kind of like the professional. worth the watch
Notorious - Ok hitchcock
White Heat - James Cagney carries it.
The Killing - I saw this a while ago. Kubrick made a great film.
Lawrence of Arabia - Can't believe I hadn't seen this until last night. Loved it. I'm downloading a bunch of Peter O'Toole films now.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Taxi Driver. Great movie. My how the city has changed.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Marx Brothers' Duck Soup - good comedy from 1933
What's New Pussycat - Woody Allen's first original screenplay. Stars Peter O'toole. silly sixties comedy, oh and it has Peter Sellers.

Rebel Without a Cause - Crazy story turns, james dean is super cool. Believe it or not but it's the first James Dean film I've seen. I have East of Eden on my harddrive.

88 minutes - Pacino. Kinda sucked.
Du Rififi Chez Les Hommes - French heist movie from 1955. Good stuff.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie - 2001 anime that I'm sure a lot of you have seen. I liked it. The live movie adaption is supposedly gonna star Keannu....which shouldn't be.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

When Harry Met Sally

Quite enjoyable.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Departed.


Good but Scorsese has much better films

Re: Last movies you saw
 

You watched the departed with me so long ago.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Now he watched it without you tonight. ;)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

It was like Taco Bell Dog to the eighth power!
