Me and swanny saw Daybreakers. It was a really good movie, tho i had to wonder how many people were there because of Twilight.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I've been wanting to see this.
It's not anything like Twilight, is it...
I know where you live. If you lie to me, I can find you.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Nothing even close to twilight, its very bloody and awesome!

The only thing is ( and its pretty weird ) is that the main vampire character is named edward, and he doesnt drink human blood. Sounds familiar...........


Also Willem Dafoe is freaking hilarious in this movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I just bought "Moon".
I am about to watch "Moon".
Then I shall report on how "Moon" was.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

So anyways, Moon was a really good movie - I thought. I can see why it got a lot of attention.


Without giving anything away: Some things from it were predictable, but I think the movie was more about emotion and connection, than to anything else.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Ah yes, that was one of those movies I wanted to see. Thanks for reminding me. :-)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I just watched Up in the Air. Don't ask me how I got it. They said it was a special screener just for me...Shh...

I liked it a lot. This movie veered towards the idea of a romantic-comedy, but it was an amazing romantic-comedy if that's what it was. It just felt legitimate. The acting was phenomenal (Clooney can always fool me, he's just good). Anyway, it was good. Certainly way better than Avatar.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yeah, I just saw the Metacritic score for it, and thought that I should see it. If you say it's better than Avatar, then I will :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Since I've bought Fire Emblem for the Wii, I don't think I've seen more than 1 movie. :p

Re: Last movies you saw
 

(500) Days of Summer

I liked it. Kept my ADD-riddled brain entertained with the constant jumping around. Couldn't not keep thinking about how Webb would handle Spider-man while watching though. Nothing in the movie really showed he's a good choice for the franchise. Although...it did have a dance number...so it has that in common with Spidey 3.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Coming soon: Spider-Man the musical.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Not sure if you were joking or not...but there is a Spider-Man musical coming soon...

The Room

Finally got around to seeing it. That was....an experience.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I went and saw The Book of Eli today.
While it was hilarious in itself that the theatre honestly only had 10 people in it - I wasn't upset with the movie.

I didn't think it was all too bad. The message it sent was good, it reminded me of Fallout, and the twist in it was pretty "shocking" as well.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

... Me and my big mouth again. :(

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Ben 10: Alien Swarm

Better than I thought it would be...which isn't saying much since I expected $h!t. Pretty good CGI for a made for tv movie; much better than what's been used on Lost.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

It was ok, Alien Force is better though.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yeah, I've been enjoying Alien Force a good deal, especially this last season.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Nothing Personal. 8/10
Surprisingly good arthouse movie. About a young woman who agrees to work for a bit older man, but only when they don't share any personal information. Of course, living together eventually means they're growing closer...
Gorgeous Irish landscapes too.

Edit: Also saw 2010 (The Year We Made Contact). It was ok. A bit boring I guess.
It was after the movie that I realized we actually live in the year 2010.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Big Fan

Not a football fan in the slightest but this was a damn fine movie. Patton Oswald should do more dramatic roles; great job.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Me and Swan saw Shutter Island. It was a very good movie, and I enjoyed it a lot. It makes you think right up to the very end.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) 8/10.
Great French movie about a guy who wakes from a coma. He can only move his eyes, but he still writes a book.
True story, but not one of those sappy drama movies. Arthouse instead.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I feel like the trailers ruined Shutter Island and it is really long so I'll probably avoid that one till it comes out on DVD. I saw The Wolfman and I am presently surprised to say it was an entertaining homage to B-movie horror with amazing Gothic cinematography and a sweet acting cast.

I'm planning on catching The Crazies next weekend which should hit that zombie spot. :bath:

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Black Dynamite.

Hands down this is a 10/10. By far one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
You have to go in knowing that it's a mockery of blaxploitation movies, and at no time does it take itself seriously.

With that said, not only is Michael Jai White the lead in the movie, but it has Arsinio Hall.

Bottom line: If you like laughter, watch this goddamn movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

After seeing Shutter Island, I don't think the trailer gives away too much especially with the way the movie plays out.

And while I was buying tickets to Shutter Island, got invited to a free screening of Repo Man so hopped uptown after the movie and caught that. Its an okay movie, nothing special, it has a cool climax fight scene.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Closing The Ring. 8/10.
I watched it because the director was Richard Attenborough (Jurassic Park's John Hammond). The Irish accent was so hard to understand... :(

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just watched "Up In The Air"

I enjoyed it immensely and thought it was a better film than the "Hurt Locker"

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Watched Law Abiding Citizen on the weekend.


Quite enjoyable, if you are willing to sit back and shut off your brain... Like any other Gerard Butler film

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Before Sunset. 7/10.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Was Before Sunset as good as it's predecessor?

I'd like to recommend Samurai Champloo if you enjoyed Cowboy Bebop at all...I'm on episode 21 of 26, and the climatic tension is starting to build. I like CB more, but it's still a great anime. The samurai setting doesn't feel rehashed because of the hiphop n general creativity.

Shutter Island. Teddy was sane. Scorsese gives enough metaphor to show the 'real' island setting. Good movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

What bugged me about that movie - and every movie he does since 300 - is he's trying to do a North American accent. The thing is, I'm completely aware he's scottish, so all I do during his movies now is watch his mouth when he's doing the accent for movies and pick it apart in my mind to the point where he just sounds like a handicap.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just watched Frost/Nixon. Great movie and Richard Nixon has to be the most fascinating president in history. A man of great achievement and great sin. A Shakespearean tragedy.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I completely agree. Nixon is such an underappreciated president, both for his advances and his transgressions.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Recent watches:

I Love You, Man: Not a bad run for the recent "bromantic" comedies. I've always like both Paul Rudd and Jason Segel (and Rashida Jones) and they were all pretty good in this. Nothing special, but I laughed a lot. 7/10

The Invention of Lying: Ricky Gervais never does anything safe and this one's not any different, but not necessarily for the better. The concept had a lot of potential, but the tone swayed in weird ways at weird times. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. Still a good try though. 6/10

Waltz With Bashir: This film was incredible. It's really one of the most beautiful things I've watched all while being surrounded by troubling subject matter. I'm not sure what took me so long to watch it because it's really really amazing. 10/10

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I really enjoyed Waltz With Bashir as well.
Also, I thought the invention of lying was a lot similar to Ghost Town, but failed in the delivery. Maybe it was just the poor script and bad delivery of a world without lies.. too self indulgent maybe. I'd like to see Ricky Gervais attempt a film that doesn't involve some supernatural or wildly outrageous premise.

Beyond the Clouds, the Promised Place
5 Centimetres Per Second
Both these films are from the same creator. The animation was breathtaking, similar tweeny love story shit....but overall I'm happy to have watched. If you're a fan of animation these two are a go.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Barry Lyndon. It was ok I guess, for it's genre (18th century drama).

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Crazies was a well-executed but somewhat generic movie. So good and recommended, more important when you consider the source material and when it came out.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Bounty (1984)
I loved this movie. Sooooo many Tahitian titties once the story got underway. Felt really bad for Mel's character...titty duty turmoil. I like sea-going movies that give that starving adventure tropical happy scurvy feel.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Going to see District 9 tonight. Downloaded it in HD.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched Ghost in the Shell 2.0 yesterday. It was a nice way to freshen up the movie and it looked pretty good for a digital restoration of a 15 year old movie. The Blu-ray transfer wasn't the best at times but I wasn't expecting much.
