Slumdog Millionare. The romantic part was a bit weak, but I loved what it tried to get across.. (or what I got from what it tried to say

) 9/10

Saw Planet Terror for the first time this past weekend. Ridiculously stupid fun movie. But I love those ridiculously crazy shoot everything in sight action flicks.

Saw The Wrestler too. Amazing, especially since named after the Springsteen tune.

And Slumdog, I enjoyed, but I didn't think it was worth ALL of the awards it got. But meh. That's me.

In other news, gonna catch the midnight release for Watchmen. I read the comic, and although I know they altered the plot a little bit, I want to see how it did.

Das Leben der Anderen. 8/10. Wow, what a time that was in east Germany.

We started Mean Creek, but halfway we got bored and ffwed through the rest of the movie. From what we saw, I'd give it a 5/10. Too much swearing and dirty humor.

I always meant to see that but haven't got around to it. Thanks for reminding me

Dark City. Can't believe it took me this long to finally watch it.

Fox 6 · 03-07-2009, 03:32 AM

Watchmen

Very good

I watched Gremlins for the umpteenth time drunk on Swiss beer last night on the tour bus. I love touring sometimes...The two Gremlins movies might be my favorite series of all time.

Watchmen for someone who hasn't seen the comic, was OK to me. Nothing really standout, but it wasn't terrible. I know the comic was full of full frontal for Manhattan, and the movie had to stay faithful, but damn the amount of blue penis was a little surprising

More surprising is that it got away with an R rating and yet everyone freaked over Zack and Miri which had far less frontal.

Though seeing people at midnight IMAX showing dressed up was a little funny. Good times...

Entre Les Murs. 8/10
A French arthouse movie of half a year old, I saw it in cinema. Not so much happens, but it's a great picture of being a teacher in a poor suburb school in Paris. None of the characters were professional actors, but you wouldn't notice.

Galaxy Quest

Good solid movie. Better than I remember.

Angrist · 03-13-2009, 05:03 AM

Girl, Interrupted. 8/10.

Pretty ironic how Winona Ryder asks the audience if they have ever stolen anything even though they had the cash.

Watched The Onion Movie and The Planet last night with Combine.

Onion was pretty funny.

The Planet was just.....ugh. So bad

The Germanator · 03-14-2009, 10:43 PM

Lars and the Real Girl. Very good! It's about a not very well adjusted young man who orders one of those "Real Dolls" which is life size and anatomically correct.

I dunno, it was a well done movie. Weird, yet very touching.

Crows ZERO

Japanese movie where the son of a yakuza boss tries to become ruler of his school where apparently no classes take place and no teachers are seen past the first 3 min, and yet everyone goes there everyday just to fight. Fun.

I have two more battle school movies on my to watch list.

Is "Battle School Movies" an official Japanese genre? If so, that's kinda funny.
