Its actually real good. And the women opposite Brad Pitt is quite alluring. 9/10

Marley and Me 8/10 Good movie. But if you own or have ever owned a dog, this movie will bring even the toughest man to tears. I suggest seeing this alone so no one can see you cry.

The only thing that bothered me was that Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson are basically playing themselves. Neither one does anything to change their appearance. Jennifer still looks like Rachael from Friends. And Owen bears the same shaggy hair he has for every movie.

The Wrestler

Good movie but it depressed the hell out of me. I guess it wouldn't be an Aronofsky film if it didn't.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Milk today. Very good. I didn't know much about the whole story so it was interesting to learn. Acting was good too. I saw it with my mom who lived in San Fran during that era...A very interesting time

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Flight of the Living Dead

Your typical low budget zombie movie. Fun to pick-a-part

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Slumdog Millionaire. 9/10.

Bloody brilliant.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Don't forget Seat Zombie.

The most terrifying Zombie who can't get out of his seat. :lolz:

Re: Last movies you saw
 

my best friend's girl.
pretty decent movie, i found it to be quite funny.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Playing at Sundance this year:

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. 8/10

I always thought I had seen this movie, but I guess that was just some parts of it. Or I was too young to remember.

Great movie, superb ending. I was actually anticipating the last 10 throughout the whole movie... and it didn't disappoint, I laughed out loud. :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched some movies I had previously seen.

Titanic 8/10
I remember how shocking it first was to see people fall to their death. Maybe it was because I was younger, maybe because the times have changed.

The Bourne Supremecy & The Bourne Ultimatum
I decided not to see Identity again, because I had already seen it 3 or 4 times, and it's not a movie that will never bore you. Ultimatum was really good, although the story really started to repeat itself (Bourne wants revenge and his memory back). Supremecy was good, but a bit stuck between Identity and Ultimatum. It lacked the clever tricks of Ult. and the cool action of Ide.
Oh and the ending of Ultimatum is absolutely genious. Makes me laugh every time.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

i saw Notorious today, and boy oh boy, there were some mistakes and just overall unappealing parts to the movie. Biggie is one of my favorite rappers, and i don't think this movie portrayed it THAT well.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Aw, that's a shame. Was hoping it was going to be good. I got into rap through Biggie about a year or two before he was killed. Damn, can't believe I'm the same age as him now.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Pathfinder

bad...

very bad...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

well, i'd still give it a shot. i don't know if what i said really had an effect on whether you'd see it or not, i just thought it was kind of garbage. i think it could've been put together a little better than it was. i mean, for it being based back in the early to mid nineties, it sure as hell had a lot of aspects from later years (2008); cars, clothes, etc. like i was saying to earl last night, it just seemed too far-fetched to possibly be real, i mean for being what some call "the greatest rapper of all time", the least they could have done was make a half-way decent movie about the guy. i love biggie, but this movie was an ill-made portrait of his life.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw Gran Torino yesterday, awsome, best movie ive seen in a long time. Eastwood is getting screwed out of an Oscar nomination, he was amazing in it.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Let's be honest here... it was Clint Eastwood being Clint Eastwood with a lot of non-actor around him.

It was a fun movie, but I could see why it got "shafted"

Re: Last movies you saw
 

It was releasing in 09, so hell be in the Oscars next year.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yes, that movie whooped Slumdog Millionaire's ass!

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Here's the problem with that... the movie was technically released in 08... limited release, but in the span of what people dub "Oscar bait" season so... it won't be nominated for next year... it just wasn't nominated.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Dead Poet's Society. 8/10
Good story, enough humor/romance. And that actor's name Ethan Hawke sounds SO familiar. I know I've encountered him on IMDb several times, but I just can't find out where else I'd know him from.

Citizen Kane. 8/10
Golden oldie here. The ending was great. It's amazing how well this movie aged.

I also saw Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain again. 9/10
So many great details. A beggar who refuses to take money because he doesn't 'work on Sunday'. A woman who kisses the portrait of her late husband and instantly spray-cleans the picture.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

City of Ember

Nice set designs.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Let's try to start making individual threads for movies in the new "Movies & Television" forum.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Prediction: Nobody will want to.

Not that I dislike the idea.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Worth a try. :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

It's not that I don't want to make seperate threads... I just don't think it's worth it.

Last movie I saw:
Toy Soldiers. 6/10
It was a weird combo. It felt like a kids movie (like the Goonies), except for all the killing and sexually loaded chats.

I started watching Dogma, but I quickly discovered it was about angels and demons on earth. No thank you, me don't like.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Doublepost incoming!

The Pelican Brief. 7/10. Decent Grisham adaptation. Julia Roberts isn't such a good actress, is she? And I never really understood the obsession with her looks.

Labyrinth. 7/10. A bit creepy, somehow.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (2nd watch). 8/10. Acting is great, the story is good, the endig is nice.

Abre Los Ojos (2nd watch; later remade as Vanilla Sky). 9/10. Great concept, executed very well.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

i just finished watching I Am Legend with my responding to emergencies class, it was good. and now i have to write a paper on pandemic's.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Tried watching the live action Death Note movie. Couldn't get all the way through it.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Be sure to focus your paper on how to specifically prevent a zombie pandemic.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Wasn't a huge fan of the movie.
Actually haven't been a fan of many of Smith's recent movies.
By any chance, is there any book comparison in the class?

And how would you go about preventing the spread of zombies?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I am in no way, shape or form eligible to decide how to prevent zombies.
One would have to assume you'd have to identify what is causing the spread though - be it exposure, chemical reaction, genetics, or a bite/scratch of some kind.

Then you would have to determine the average speed the zombies travel at, and the cognitive skills they posses as well as dexterity levels. Are they capable of speech, reason, thought, any general forms of rationalization?

Then you would have to determine the best way to get rid of the infestation, whether it be to exterminate all living zombies, or to come up with some sort of anti-virus to prevent further spread, as well as exterminating all zombies. You would have to find if the strain is passable onto animals as well - and if so - what animals/insects are able to be infected, and what happens when such happens.

Do these zombies sleep, do they avoid daylight? Can they swim? Do they climb? All of these are reasonable and valid questions you would need to solve before you even figure out where to begin on a zombie prevention plan.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I strongly urge everyone to post in the new Movies & TV forum.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

There are some cool online tests to see how big the chance is you'd survive a zombie outbreak.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Why not move this thread there?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I think this is a fine start to a Zombie Prevention and Survival Guide.
Just need to expand your ideas. And maybe do some research on known zombies *coughCamcough*

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Let the Right One In

Very very good. It's a Swedish romantic horror film about a 12 year old boy who befriends a vampire.

Won a crapload of awards if that's the sort of thing that matters to you. There's going to be remake by the Cloverfield director but will be adapted from the book instead of copying the movie.

It gets the Teuthida seal of approval.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Ah, this was recommended by my brother and I really want to see it. Unfortuantely I don't think it's playing anywhere near; unless I count NYC as near, but I don't...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw "He's Just Not That Into You" last night. Enjoyed it very much :p

I think it provides a somewhat accurate portrayal of the differing perspectives of men and women in relationships and the dating scene. However, the movie seems to place women as victims with the exception of one relationship. All in all though, It was worth the watch and you guys should probably check it out before the hypebeast takes hold.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Taken starring Liam Neeson.

Highly entertaining. Good movie.
