I'd really like to actually hear an opinion on it. I'll probably see it anyway, but I'm curious.

Its fairly comic-booky. being that the dialogue is silly, and the action too. It was fun overall. Has the same visuals as Sin CIty pretty much.

The Spirit is a crazy womainzer

And Samuel L Jackson is obsessed with eggs

I thought he was obsessed with the number 8. Crazy muthafucka, that guy is.

I watched Taxi for the first time last night.

Freakin' hilarious!!

I saw Doubt today. 7.5/10 if I had to say. Merryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are fantastic as you would expect, and that pretty much makes the film worthwhile.

Seven Pounds... Not Will's best movie... not his worst.

Zack and Miri... fun movie. Gets a lil mushy.

Raging Bull... not that great.

The Usual Suspects... combines two of my favorite movie genres. Though, I had the crook pinned pretty early, but eh.

i saw "Tropic Thunder" a few days ago, and my oh my, i must say that movie was not THAT funny. i really only felt like the parts with tom cruise were funny, it was so odd seeing him play such a comical/ridiculous part. Ben Stiller basically created that movie himself after i saw the credits roll, all i saw were "Ben Stiller." Jack Black's character was flat-out stupid, and Robert Downey Jr. was "decent", but all-in-all, i just didn't think that movie was as comedic as planned to be.

i saw this movie called "Garden Party" last night, and it was a bit hard to follow. there were five central characters, and with each character, came a different problem, or pet-peeve in the movie. things bounced around and you could tell the ideas were quite scattered throughout. i might have to give it another watch just to be able to explain what the movie itself was actually about.

JCVD. Enjoyable. The direction felt like a mix of Children of Men and the game Resistance. It also had the most annoying scream/yell I've ever heard.

Jean Claude Van Dam?

I just saw Quantum of Solace. I liked it enough. I'm sure it would've been better if I had down a double viewing of CR and QoS. I felt that the villain was decently done, despite what others seemed to think of him.

Safety Last! it's from 1923. Silent. Good. The more silent films I come across the more I get the feeling that the 20's had it down. Despite the antiquated look it still manages to fully entertain. Anybody seen Buster Keaton's The General?

I want to see The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke. Heard it's beautifully acted.

Ya.

The Matrix Trilogy.

Man, part 2 and 3 are bad. So much unneeded crap. The whole Merovingian storyline is terribly boring, while it takes up almost an hour or so.
And why are they so desperate to show that Neo and Trinity love each other? Probably because both actors can't show any emotional faces??

I think the Wachowski brothers should have gone for a single sequel movie, instead of spreading it out over two.

The Matrix 9/10
The Matrix: Reloaded: 6/10
The Matrix: Revolutions: 6/10

Oh and JCVD looks interesting, I'll probably watch it at one point.

Bond · 01-07-2009, 09:09 PM

Se7en. 8/10.

Jason1 · 01-08-2009, 04:07 PM

Se7ven was awsome.

I just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and it was quite good, but as for these recent comedy love stories, I think I like Zach and Miri a little better, and I also liked Knocked Up a LOT.

Angrist · 01-08-2009, 04:20 PM

You mean Se7en without a v? Or am I missing something here...
It's a good movie, but I don't think I ever want to see it again. Like Saving Private Ryan. And Shindler's List.

KillerGremlin · 01-08-2009, 09:13 PM

Mmmmm...the Matrix sequels get better with time. Or is that worse?

I was considering repeat viewing Quantum of Solace in theaters, but I'll just wait till it comes out on DVD and finish rewatching all the old EON bond films.

And I loved Tropic Thunder. I thought it was a great parody of all the war movies. Had the music, had the stereotype characters, and it had Jack Black delivering quite possibly the funniest line in cinema while tied up to a tree. Oh and the opening of the movie was also laugh-inducing.

I saw Doubt. Merrell Streep gave an AMAZING performance as did Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who I always have loved).

I haven't gathered the patience to sit through Benjamin Button yet, so yeah. 3 hours...fuckkkkkkkk that.
