Helps that Liam Nesson is a bad-ass, but yeah I agree, awesome movie.

You guys are weird. I mean I enjoyed Taken but I thought it had some obvious shortcomings, and Liam Nesson would have been way more badass if he had a light saber.

For a mindless revenge movie I'd say it was pretty average.

Have you got Typhoid?

Titan A.E - watched this for the first time today, I have actually wanted to see it for years but only just got round to it. I am glad I watched it too, I thought it was pretty good.

I'm sick too. Free time here here

I saw Public Enemy N1 and Mesrine Part 2. L'instinct de Mort and L'ennemi public n1 respectively, directed by Jean-Francois Richet.
Was violent. Entertained but didn't really do enough for character development....which is crucial in a epic recount of a famous criminal's life, such as Jacques Mesrine's. Too long.

Typhoid is spreading his typhoid to fellow GT members.


Just watched one of my favourite movies, I was obsessed with this film as a kid. Convoy starring Kris Kristofferson as 'The Rubber Duck' leads a massive convoy of trucks across the U.S

With a kick ass song to boot -

[Teuthida]

Infernal Affairs

Very good of course. Now to watch the sequel, prequel, and The Departed.

[Angrist]

Ratatouille, 8/10.

Brother(2000) Japanese Yakuza flick. decent but a little f'd.

Barton Fink Not my favourite Coen movie, hoping Miller's Crossing will more deliver as a period piece. Not that Barton Fink was bad at all, the flames just didn't work imo.


Rambo(2008) Mindless violence. Christian altruistic overtones with bloodlust entertainment? But is violence necessary? defense of the helpless a duty? These questions and more 'examined' as about a million burmese get shredded by Rambo n Co. I've never seen a rambo movie so I don't have anything to compare it to. atleast it didn't tarry longer than it should all things considered.

Azumi(2003) More violence but this is a ninja samurai 2+ hour bloodbath. Kind of like Shogun Assassin but more anime-ish. Azumi was super cute.


I watched too many movies today I think.

[Teuthida]

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Very cute movie in the same vein of The Little Mermaid but with five years olds. Miyazaki does children so well. Looked and felt more like one of his movies from the 80s than anything he's done recently. Well, had a bit of a Howl's Moving Castle vibe with the magician. Probably the closest to My Neighbor Totoro, which is my favorite of his films.

Predator 2
No where in the same league as the original I thought.

[Bube]

Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen. I liked it, was a pretty good action movie. If the first one was like this as well, I wish I had watched it..

[Teuthida]

Infernal Affairs II

Quite good and helps you understand everyone's motivations and how they arrived at where they are in the first movie. A bit unfortunate it's missing the main two guys since it's a prequel and their characters are played by younger actors. The rest of the supporting cast are the same guys though and are nicely expanded upon.

[Teuthida]

Tokyo!



Almost saw it in theaters since two of the directors were talking before and after the film...but those shows got sold out.

I liked the 1st and last parts a lot. The middle would have been good if it wasn't so long...and with gibberish translated into French, translated into Japanese, which you then read...it gets tiresome. All yummily bizarre.

[The Germanator]

I happened to catch "The Invasion" in a hotel room the other night. It's a remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig.

It really wasn't very good. It kind of had a few "thrilling" moments, but I would have to say the best part was that Nicole Kidman wore some tight sweaters and looked good in them. Otherwise it was kind of a predictable, lame, and pretty timid zombie/alien flick.

Just watched the film 'Sunshine' a good sci-fi story if a little far fetched. The crew of a spaceship must deliver a ginormous bomb into the dying sun and detonate in the hopes they can revive the sun and save the human race.
