Last movies you saw

36th Chamber of Shaolin

I really like when most of the movie is the training. Good stuff.

Just watched 21. The film that came out last year with Kevin Spacey in thats about card counting in blackjack. I thought it was pretty good, well worth a watch if you have not seen it. I would also say if you like it you should check out another film I like that it reminded me of - Boiler Room.

I watched The Hangover....the laughs kept coming, but it helped that I was in a packed theater.

[Fox 6]

Saw UP today.

Amazing, as I expected. Very funny and original.

Densha Otoko (Train Man)

Based on a true story. An otaku stops a drunk man on the train from harassing this lady and she sends him a gift as a thank you. The otaku known as Train Man posts his story on a message board and with the help of the members gets continuous advice about how to go about dating the woman.

It was first a book in the form of message board posts and has also been turned into several manga, a tv series, and this movie. I read one of the manga before watching the movie, which was good, but the movie captures Train Man's dorkiness much better. What I really like is you see the chorus of people on the message board posting their help from their respective homes/jobs and see how Train Man's story affects their lives.

Sounds very interesting, I'll try to find it.

Supercop

I'm running out of Jackie Chan movies to watch from Netflix's Watch Instantly list.

[Angrist]

Did you see The Myth? My brother loved it because it's so bad.

Sunshine Cleaning. 7.5/10
I didn't really know what to expect, but it was entertaining. Definately more of a woman's movie though. There were 10 girls and 4 guys in the theater.

Oh and I recognized the main character as the girl from Catch Me If You Can. She played a pretty good role here.

I watched Get Smart last night, but fell asleep during the last 30 minutes. Not that it was boring/bad, I was just too sleepy, and it was too late. What I saw I liked, pretty funny if you look at it the way it was meant to be looked at. 7/10

[Teuthida]

Oh thanks. That would be much appreciated.

[KillerGremlin]

Just watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Entertaining and cheesey movie with some wonderful cinematography and some classic horror shots in some classic horror scenes. It does show a bit of its campiness, and yeah..Freddy got campy in the latter movies.

I'm actually thinking about just knocking out the whole Nightmare on Elm Street series. I used to be terrified of these films when I was a kid.

[Bube]

Ok, I've got a problem with watching movies. I watched Blade Runner last night, a movie I simply love, and fell asleep during the last 30 minutes again. What is wrong with me?

Are you watching movies in bed? I stopped watching movies in bed at night because I often find myself falling asleep. Usually at night I just turn on a TV show (currently watching the hell out of Arrested Development). I try to watch movies during the day, or while I'm on AIM. Watching with friends helps too. Or, you could try to keep yourself awake by counting shots or something. See how many cuts are in the film or how many times they abuse slow motion.

Haha No, I don't watch in bed, I watch on a couch, but lying down I think it's because I got used to sleeping at 12-1 o'clock at night, and my movie watching usually falls in between those times.

I do get a lot of sleep lately Angrist, I'm on summer vacation, I sleep for 10 hours every day
