I must be the only person who doesn't know what Twilight is, but that's maybe because my mind is programmed to filter out shittiness.

[The Dude]

Don't know if it counts as a movie, but just wasted 2 hours watching 24 Redemption.
Really reminds me why the series went stale after season 2.

[Biohazard EX]

Just watched Capricorn One. Loved it.
Here's my full review:

I have heard a lot of things about this movie when I was a kid. But only now did I get a chance to watch it.

I have to say I was impressed. I rarely see a movie that combines drama and humor so well. And frankly, I didn't expect a movie from the 1970's to be so well paced. I saw the back of the DVD, it said 123 minutes, frankly I was expecting it to drag on. But to my pleasure, the movie was incredibly well paced and equally entertaining all the way through.

The premise of the movie is that three astronauts who were supposed to be the first men on Mars, are instead taken to a studio and forced to film a fake landing, while NASA sends out an empty rocket ship. But when the ship crashes on its way down, fearing that the government will want to hill the astronauts in order to keep the secret and cover up the affair, the three escape the facility and separate to ensure the chances that one of them will escape. Meanwhile, a nosy reporter is following some leads to uncover the secret from the outside.

The movie is brilliantly written, and like I said, sometimes it was so suspenseful, I was sitting on the edge of my seat and biting my knuckles. Sometimes it was so hilarious, I was in stitches. Sometimes, both. The dialogue is written very well apart from the odd... What I can only perceive as censorship issues where I'm assuming they had to change a few swear words, and instead of rewriting the lines, they simply replaced the words, and made it sound really forced, like, "Go jump yourself." But apart from things like that, the dialogue itself is written very well.

As I've said before, the pacing was very well done. The wind up wasn't too long, and there were a lot of things that had to be covered in the movie, which means they didn't have time to drag out any scene.

The characters are all very well written, have very colorful personalities, and were expressed very well.

All in all, I was very entertained by this movie, that kept me very entertained. And if you feel like watching a movie about a government conspiracy that doesn't involve espionage and secret agents, or if you just feel like watching a very entertaining classic, check out Capricorn One.

[Helegad]

I thought Iron Man was pretty average. At best, it was above average. Nothing that made me clap at the end.

[Biohazard EX]

I loved Iron Man was one of the best Super Hero movies I've ever seen. If not THE best. Or at least the one I enjoyed the most.

[Helegad]

Oh yeah, by far the best superhero movie, but not the best regular movie ever.

[Biohazard EX]

Well, it had great action, great acting, great laughs, what's not to like? Robert Downey Jr. is always a pleasure to watch.

[Crimsonheadkill]

Iron man was preety good IMO

[Mr. Spencer]

Right now I'm watching Legend, which happens to be showing on BBC Two right now. Never seen it before, but it's directed by Ridley Scott and features Tim Curry. I cannot fathom fantasy films though.

Spider-Man > Iron Man

[Biohazard EX]

Spider-Man > Iron Man

I WOULD agree... But to me, having Kirsten Dunst in a movie lowers that movie's value big time.

[Helegad]

She was alright in The Dark Knight...

[Vector]

^ WOT?

[Helegad]

Wasn't Kirsten Dunst in The Dark Knight? The Spiderman chick?

[missvalentine]

well i just watched through Indianna Jones and the Raiders of the lost ark again.

and i gotta say i love that movie, i was watching through special features as well and how they made Major Tohts face melt, very interesting stuff.

[Biohazard EX]

Wasn't Kirsten Dunst in The Dark Knight? The Spiderman chick?

That wasn't her... Dark Knight is was an okay movie, but if Kirsten Dunst was in it, I wouldn't have bothered watching it at all. I guess they sorta look alike...

[Carnivol]

I had one "issue" with Iron Man, and that was the soundtrack, which mostly consisted of the same guitar wanking put on repeat through out the entire movie. But besides that, it was pretty sweet.


And no, Kirsten Dunst was not in The Dark Knight.
Rachel was played by Maggie Gyllenhaal (And Katie Holmes in Batman Begins).


Spider-Man 1-2 were okay, but 3 is just a big mess.


And oh, The Dude, I watched Redemption the other day too. I thought it was okay, but still uncertain about whether or not I'll watch season 7. Season 6 was pretty awesome at times, though. (After a few seasons of being not-so-great).


Haven't decided what to watch tonight, though. Been kinda catching up on some series (Dexter s03e10 coming up right now)

[Helegad]

I don't watch much TV at all besides the Simpsons ^_^

Damn, Maggie Gyllenhaal looks a lot like Kirsten Dunst.

Resident Evil: Degeneration - 7/10

Pretty cool movie...not bad for something entirely CG.

More thoughts:
A pure action movie. Zombies were cool. G-Monster was really cool until he opened his mouth and started speaking to his sister, at which point I knocked off .5 from my score. Alyson Court did great voicework as Claire. Angela Miller was a nice character, very sexy.

Mother of God...Leon's one-liners...unsurprisingly, he had a few of them. Some of them were outrageous enough to make me laugh out loud. And I mean loud. At least two of his lines were that ridiculous. The ending was cool...has a direct effect on RE5. Overall, not a bad movie, but nothing spectacular. Recommended for any Resident Evil fan, obviously. Pure zombie fun, a plot that involves the T- and G-Viruses...and TriCell.

Well, it doesn't revolve around crime and mobsters. I mean, there are some directing style influences from Pulp Fiction. But just because Pulp Fiction did it first (that I can think of), doesn't mean that there has to be just one of its kind. The plot is different, afterall.

[Sephiroth]

Transformers the moive 7/10 great film I enjoyed it I whould have given it a higher score but what let this film down was the lack of both Autobots and Decepticons the Autobots only came in an hour into the film and for the Decepticons well they only had about 25 mins in the film with was a let down too much of the human and not much of the robots but the action was great but fingers crossed that the next one will make up for it.

[Helegad]

Just watched Burn After Reading... it was different to say the least. The acting was excellent, but the plot was wierd. It started with just a group of different people, and the plot slowly develops as it goes along. Kinda put me off, but not enough to stop enjoying it.

When Brad Pitt was killed, that was a bit of shock. He was my favourite character 'cause he was the funniest with his iPod and the dancing :P

7/10 from me :)

PS: Saw Quantum Of Solace again this arvo with my dad, sister, and half-sister (I call her my half-sister cause she basically is; well, she's my sisters best friend, but the amount of time she hangs around my residence is astonishing. I don't see why she just doesn't move in.)

[BLSR1]

I just watched Degeneration and loved it.

Anderson definitely needs to take a hike and let Capcom take over.


It fit into the series and set up RE5.
The romance between Angela and Leon felt tacked on, but oh well.

Titanic 1997 Great film never get bord of whaching it it brings tears to my tears 9/10

And even despite the Dark Knight and all that hype, Titanic STILL remains as the best selling movie in history. :D Go Leo!

[Vector]

Titanic was in theaters for like 43 years, that's why it grossed so damn much.

[Biohazard EX]

Yes, but it was in theaters that long because it was consistently getting a lot of viewers. It's not like they kept it playing in 3 theaters at once because it was unpopular.

There were plans to re-release the Dark Knight in theaters, and I was afraid it would take over as #1. Thank god that didn't happen.

[TheSelfishGene]

I just watched The Aristocrats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_aristocrats).
It's a documentary about a joke. I'd heard it was really good, but I personally didn't find it to be that great.

[Umon Daisuke]

There were plans to re-release the Dark Knight in theaters, and I was afraid it would take over as #1. Thank god that didn't happen.

That would be around January to garner some extra Oscar buzz, which the late Ledger deserves.

But you know what they say about popularity and quality; they don't always go hand in hand. Hence Titanic.. okay cheap shot, but I thought that the sub par script was covered up nicely with its technical merits and a young DiCaprio. Cameron was and still is a technical evangelist first and foremost (I love T2 though)

I suppose I'm still irked that a much better film like LA Confidential got the cold shoulder that year (but Basinger still didn't deserve that Oscar).

I picked the BD recently and it's as good as I remember it.

In Bruges 9/10

Brilliant noir comedy. Fucked-up, far-out and very, very funny.

Right, so if it's out on Blu-Ray and DVD, what the hell is the point of re-releasing it in theatres.
Titanic might not have had the script quality of "The Big Kahuna", but the sheer scale of it. The effects, and the way they depicted the tragedy, and the story itself that it told. It was all top notch. Better than The Dark Knight, anyway.

The thing I'm worried about most, is that if Dark Knight became the best selling movie in history, then all those joker fanboys and DK fanboys in general, who went to watch it in IMAX 3 times... Every time I'm gonna try and say that it's an overrated movie and that it's not all that brilliant as people say, they're gonna say, "Just look at the sales."

Frankly, Titanic was overrated when it came out, but these days people criticize it for all sorts of reasons, which is GREAT. Because it can be used as an excellent example of why the best sales don't always reflect the best movie, like you said. Which would be very helpful in any argument.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - 7/10

Wow, what the FUCK?! I'm definitely never doing acid. Or adrenaline. This movie was fuckin' scary.

[Vogue_Dirge]

I just saw The Changeling with Angelina Jolie.

As much as I LOVELOVELOVE Angie, the movie was all tears and lips to me.

[Biohazard EX]

Really? It wasn't good? Damn, I wanted to see it. Oh well, there's plenty of movies I wanna see that I haven't gotten to, including Yes Man, Madagascar 2, and I'm sure another one I'm forgetting.

[REmaster]

Last night I went to a special screening of "The Yes Man", the new Jim Carrey flick. Wow, there was so much security there you'd think you were going to a presidential press meeting ( I guess there's a lot of movie leaking these days ). Anyways, some parts are kinda cheesy but all in all I would recommend it. Jim Carrey very rarely dissapoints, until of course he tries to do serious movies:P

[Biohazard EX]

Hey, any serious movie starring Jim Carrey is better than Me, Myself and Irene, that was just crude. I mean, I like a certain level of dirty humor, but that was just not Jim Carrey. Dildo jokes? Seriously?

[REmaster]

Ha, yea that's probably why he took like a 3 year break after that movie cause he probably wasn't getting any good scripts.

[Vector]

Judging by the looks of "YES Man", it looks like he's still not getting any good scripts.

And Me, Myself and Irene is fucking legendary.

[REmaster]

I do have to admit there are a few parts where you really start to doubt the writer's intentions, skill and sense of humor. Lots of cheese, but it's not too bad.

Oscar buzz, that's all. I'm assuming you're being sarcastic with the Big Kahuna reference :P

As far as quality comparisons go between TDK and Titanic, it's certainly debatable and I personally feel that Nolan is a much better director than Cameron. He's just more meticulous and original (The Prestige is a masterpiece in my view). Having said that, I do feel that TDK is overrated and Batman Begins was a better movie.

BB like Donner's Superman, laid out the genesis of the character very well and respectfully (staying true to the comics' essence). BB had a proper sequel with TDK, while Superman didn't have one until 2006 which needed some re-shooting (The Richard Donner cut of Superman II, not the embarrassing Superman Returns).

Burton's movies were great (he is my absolute favorite director), but the material was his own without caring much to the original source material (Batman killing villains being a sore spot). And Lester... well the less said about his Superman movies, the better. Particular the third one.

I'm not being sarcastic. Big Kahuna had a great script. And the actors delivered it amazingly.
I don't know, Cameron brought so many franchises into the light, so many spectacles. Terminator, Rambo, Aliens.

Superman Returns, I thought was a great movie... But you might notice a pattern with my bias toward movies starring Kevin Spacey.

All I'm saying is that The Dark Knight was not a "Brilliant Spectacle" like people consider it. It was good. Solid. The script was good. The acting was good. The effects were good. There was only one scene which I thought was awe inspiring and that's the hospital exploding. Other than that, all it had that other superhero movies don't have is an extra hour of dialigue, which, frankly dragged.
The one thing that sold this movie so well was Heath Ledger passing away.
If Patrick Stewart passed away shortly before the release of X-Men 3, I bet it would've sold just as well.

[Umon Daisuke]

Uh, let's not bring that up please. Had Ledger been alive, his performance would've garnered attention regardless and the movie had all the ingredients of a great summer blockbuster. Batman is still a far more popular character than any of the X-Men, especially with moviegoers.

I'm a big Superman fan, so my biggest beef with SR was the poor characterization of Superman. He was a whiny attention whore, who stalked and overheard private conversations. And the script was basically a love letter to Donner; a homage to the classic but not as good as a film.

Spacey could've done more with the part, but it's not his fault. Him and Routh were the only good people in the cast, and Bosworth's performance was painful to watch. The only good thing about the movie that it's a great demo disc for lossless audio. That is if you have the HD-DVD version or the hard to find BD reissue.

Supes deserves better than that, so hopefully the reboot will do him justice. Incidentally, this Xmas day will mark the 30th anniversary of the first movie.

[Helegad]

I want to see Death Race, but it just got out of the cinemas yesterday :(

Oh well, DVD rental will be good enough.

Watched True Lies and Resevoir Dogs yesterday. Great flicks ^_^ Had the popcorn with me, too.

I also think that a lot of the TDKs success had to do with Heath Ledger's death.

[Biohazard EX]

I don't think Heath Ledger did anything extremely amazing with Joker.. I mean, if he came up with his mannerisms, then he gets points for innovation, I guess. But what he did wasn't anything amazing. I could do that, and I don't consider myself that amazing of an actor.

Seriously? It's like, coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray here... Tomorrow, I think. Or this past tuesday. Either way, it's already out on home video here.

[Town of Green]

I'd just like to say that I really liked TDK. I'm a huge comic book nerd and that movie is one of the better comic adaptations (along with SM2, BB, and IM). It's sure as hell isn't one of my favorite movies ever but it's good.

On that note, I really love the Joker, especially TAS Joker. However, I can't say that anymore without being branded a TDK bandwagoner or mistaken for some Joker fanboy. I curse TDK for this.

[Biohazard EX]

I'm not saying it wasn't good. I just don't think it was a brilliant spectacle like people hyped it up to be. Like, I don't see it as somehting to go see in IMAX 3 times.

[Town of Green]

Same here. I saw it twice, the second time was because I got a free ticket so why not, right? It was a good all-around movie but if anything Aaron Eckhart deserves an award, not Ledger.

[Biohazard EX]

Yeah, he did a better job than Ledger. But I still wouldn't give it an Oscar. But then I don't know what their basis on judging the actors. I mean, I'd have to watch every movie that came out this year... And hey, IF nobody else did better, then yeah. But in the years past, I've seen many parts better delivered.

[Umon Daisuke]

I don't think Heath Ledger did anything extremely amazing with Joker.. I mean, if he came up with his mannerisms, then he gets points for innovation, I guess. But what he did wasn't anything amazing. I could do that, and I don't consider myself that amazing of an actor.




Yup, mannerisms and the violent edge were all his; he lived in a hotel room alone for a month to pin point the character. He really came off a threatening maniac as depicted in the Killing Joke. It was great acting. Much better than Jack Nicholson copying Cesar Romero's version.

Eckhart did a great job too, and the only low point in the cast was Eric Roberts' so-called Italian accent. It was embarrassing.

For the record, the movie needed to be see in IMAX as the best parts are shots in the format. The BD reproduces the experience closely, so it's the definitive version (two aspect ratios). The audio is also a good step up from the theatrical version.

It is my 3rd favorite comic book adaptation, behind BB and Superman.

[Biohazard EX]

But then like I said, that's points for creativity. Which wouldn't really be considered a part of the acting itself, I don't think. And frankly, it was different, it was creative, but I didn't find his mannerisms to be that interesting. I much rather prefer Nicholson.

[Umon Daisuke]

Wait, so despite lavishing praise there, you actually prefer Nicholson's terribly unoriginal version that was copied off the campy TV series? He's one of my favorite actors, but the performance was barely a step up from a cartoon.

I'm interested in hearing your opinion there.

[Biohazard EX]

Well, the part is the part. I mean, that's the thing. Yes, you have the actor on the campy TV series, and you have Nicholson. The character might be the same, but then the actor is different. And even if the actor is playing the same part, it can come off as very different. I didn't think he was anything like Cesar Romero.
I mean, Nicholson himself, I think has something about him that gives off this aura of creepiness. What Nicholson did with Joker might not have been new, or original, but it was much more effective, coming FROM Nicholson.

And frankly, Batman (the original movie) was very stylized. The new Batman is a lot more realism based (hence the horribly ugly new Batmobile, which is made to be functional). But with the original Batman, it was made almost like a film noir. It was set in the... 40s? I think. It had gangsters with pinstripe suits and fedoras, it had... Remember Joker's revolver? The movie itself was stylized, so it didn't have to be something new and original. It just had to be effective, which it was. Nicholson might not have innovated Joker, but he still executed it very well.

[Umon Daisuke]

That's the thing, he didn't come of that different from Romero... BUT, with the makeup on, Nicholson did look like the comic book incarnation more than the others. There is that one particular moment when he kills his boss, reads the paper and says: "Wait until they get a load of me". Very true to form.

Burton's take, while great, had the flaw of characterizing Batman as someone who does the job by any means. The killing didn't quite sit well, and Burton flat out stinks as an action director. Overall, it was still a really good movie.

It wasn't set in the 40's, but in an ambiguous period appropriately. Nolan's approach, as you said, is realistic and true to today's comic version. Something I hope the next Superman will be.

[Biohazard EX]

Burton might not be the best action director, but he did a good job with Batman and Batman Returns. It wasn't about the action, and mad ninja skills.
Although part of the reason was that Batman's suit weighed 70lbs. Keaton isn't exactly a power house.

All I'm saying was that aside from coming up with the unique mannerism, there was nothing spectacular about Ledger's part. Not something I'd give an Oscar for anyway. Like I said, I can do what he did, if you put makeup and a camera on me. But I am an actor.

[missvalentine]

Horton hears a Who! Very nice animated movie (not Wall E caliber mind you), and I was pleasantly surprise to see that Jim Carrey didn't over-do his part; in fact his improvisation made some parts quite charming.



Although part of the reason was that Batman's suit weighed 70lbs. Keaton isn't exactly a power house.

Small part. Burton is a genius, but he just can't do action nor does he have to. Returns was his vision 100%, and while it was an enjoyable movie, it didn't portray Batman very well. That's where Nolan's movies shine.


Like I said, I can do what he did, if you put makeup and a camera on me. But I am an actor.

Well, there are many actors out there and they're not on the same level. All of them can do parts, but that doesn't mean they can do them well.

Either way, I found Burton's Batman movies a lot more enjoyable than Begins and Dark Knight. They had that certain Burton style... You know, like many of Burton's classic movies before he picked up a habit of putting Johnny Depp into EVERYTHING he does.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Hm, Blair Witch was scary when everyone thought it was real, but once it all came out, it became kind of hard to see the scare in it. Especially as we never actually saw the Blair Witch. In the stores, her action figure was some zombified, mutilated weird thing.

[rehunk88]

blair witch never thought it was real actully it was spooky when you see it first time but els its kinda just 3 idiots who cant find there way out of a forrest with a camara with strange noises around them XD

[Helegad]

But it was still scary in the end where Mike was standing in the corner while Heather was being murdered Really creeped me out.

[Ivory]

I just watched Bishunmoo series.

[rehunk88]

But it was still scary in the end where Mike was standing in the corner while Heather was being murdered Really creeped me out.

ya first time i saw it that part was a bit creepy il give you that but
now it really aint anything special


and i just saw harry potter and the prisoner from azkaban

hmm well i do love the books and well the movie is nothing like the books thats 100% true but for what it is il give it 6/10 thats a good rating for a harry potter movie will in my mind it is XD.

[missvalentine]

i think the Harry Potter 3 movie is the best out of all the movies, but the movies have NOTHING on the books.

id give it a 7 or 8 out of 10

[P Anderson DIE]

Recentley watched alot of films see Football Factory, Van Helsing, True Romance but the best one I saw this month has got to be Falling Down with Michael Douglas I laughed so much in that film thought it was great.

[Canas Renvall]

I saw Bolt today. I'm a sucker for Disney stuff and this didn't disappoint. Plus, Bolt is just so cute! XD Good movie, I recommend it. Disney and Pixar rarely disappoint.

[Helegad]

Chicken Run is my favourite animated movie ^_^

"Pushy Americans... overpaid, oversexed, and OVER HERE!"

:P

[missvalentine]

i just saw Event Horizon, i thought it was pretty good, id give it 8/10.

[rehunk88]

i just saw Event Horizon, i thought it was pretty good, id give it 8/10.

event horizon is such a great great movie :) nice rating you got
for it !!! :)

[missvalentine]

yeah Anderson did pretty good with Event Horizon, great movie, and it was pretty scary in some bits.

and i love Horror and Sci-Fi as well, and it was pretty gruesome in some parts which i liked as well.

[rehunk88]

yeah Anderson did pretty good with Event Horizon, great movie, and it was pretty scary in some bits.

and i love Horror and Sci-Fi as well, and it was pretty gruesome in some parts which i liked as well.

the part with the record from the ship it freaked me out first time i saw the movie it was soo WHAT THE FUCK jesus christ !!

ya and the movie got great actors and action its a cool movie :D

[aris13]

Deliverance (1972) 10/10

Great themes, performances and superb direction.

[rehunk88]

just saw wall-E DAMN its so so so so so so cute :) i love it such a cute robot awwww :)

10/10 thats for sure it deservs it !!!!!!! :)

[Henry Spencer]

A lot of 10/10 marks being thrown around...

10/10 if you ask me, should be saved for your favourite movie, but whatever.

I saw Narc, with Ray Liotta and Jason Patric a second time and loved it even more than the first time I saw it. Grittiest cop movie I've ever seen. Great mystery too.

[Vogue_Dirge]

I watched Wanted last night. Soooooooooo much entertainment! I know that some (if not most) of the things that happen in that movie would never happen, but that's the fun of it. This is one of my favorite Angie movies, next to Gia and Girl, Interrupted.

[Carnivol]

Just got back from the cinema after watching Max Manus. Fantastic movie. Might even be a candidate for the best movie I've seen this year (excluding good movies from past years that I've rewatched this year.)

[Mr. Spencer]

A lot of 10/10 marks being thrown around...

Do you only like that because of the connection it has with Policenauts? =P

But you're right, far too many 10/10s are being distributed. One of my favourite cop films would have to be Copland, also featuring Ray Liotta. Very good stuff, arguably Stallone's best film in my opinion. All that, plus Robert Patrick sporting a rather dashing moustache. But even then I wouldn't give that a full ten. There's also Lethal Weapon, which never fails. Avoid the sequels though, they simply lack the grittiness of the original - and Gary Busey. They went too far down the comedy angle with them.

[Stars1356]

Just watched Death Sentence and Shooter. Shooter was an ok movie, the ending was lame.

[missvalentine]

i love shooter cause i love Snipers, so i love Sniper movies.

i would give shooter around an 8 or 9 out of 10.


and i just saw StarShip Troopers 3 as well, it was ok, no where near as good as the first one, ut better than the second though.

my only complaints are that it was to much about religion and not enough about killing bugs, and they really need to get a bigger budget next time, the specail effects were better in the first one even, but it was an ok movie, but some of the animation looks the same quality as a prerendered cutscenes in RE3, which annoyed me since it was made in 2008.

StarShip Troopers 1 = 10/10

StarShip Troopers 2 = 5/10

StarShip Troopers 3 = 6.9/10

[Trent]

"In Bruges"

I quite enjoyed this film and I'd throw it an 8/10.

[aris13]

"Now we are stuck in f*cking Bruges":lol:

[rehunk88]

freddy vs jason fun teen horror action splat movie just my kind of movie so il give it a solid

8/10 :D

[Nomad9026]

Punisher War Zone = awesome. My score- 8.5

[Henry Spencer]

Hahaha. I actually never thought of that before...hmmm...

Narc is filmed in a very gritty style, with handheld cameras (without all of the annoying swerving though), a unique filming style (using colour pallettes to describe the main character's personal life and how it's decayed over time), harsh and realistic dialogue. Very intense feeling throughout too. It's a shocker of a movie with a killer twist. It's also one of my favourite movies.

Cop Land is a great cop movie as well. Stallone's best movie and best performance with stellar supporting cast. Btw, what's your favourite Chrisopher Walken performance?

[Project Omega]

I saw not too long ago: Ghost Town, Eagle Eye, and The Day the Earth Stood Still.

* Ghost Town was pretty funny.
* Eagle Eye felt too much like Portal towards the end.
* The Day the Earth Stood Still was pretty good and I could appreciate the differences it had with the original movie.

I liked the way they explained the dissapearance of things in the remake! In the original, things just disappeared.

[Becky's Butt]

Interview with the Vampire. Superb film with a good plot and characters. Everyone also played their parts really really well even Banderas who was too old for Armand.

[Mr. Spencer]

Btw, what's your favourite Chrisopher Walken performance?

The Dead Zone, it's got Martin Sheen decorating the wall with his brains!

I finished watching Die Hard, always good for Christmas. I'm going to make it a tradition.

[Helegad]

* Eagle Eye felt too much like Portal towards the end. [/spoiler]

As I walked out of the cinema with my friend, I told him how much the computer reminded me of Glados. He thought about it for a second and called it a blatant rip off :P

[Trent]

"The Last Picture Show" (1971)

Good classic. I love Cybill Shepherd.

It seems that the last three films I watched all had occurrences during Christmas. Now that is what I call spooky, but also good timing.

[aris13]

The Spirit 6/10:(

The ass of Eva Mendes was the only highlight of the movie.

[Trent]

I saw "Star Dust" last Christmas. I think I'm going to watch it again today and make it tradition :)

[Helegad]

Saw "The Day The Earth Stood Still" today.

I felt that it was kinda... pointless. The bugs just come to Earth "oh yeah, let's just fuck up everyone's day for shits and giggles! Should be good! :D"

I suppose it was an okay movie though...

[rehunk88]

cop land (with sly) :)

good good good movie one of my favorites :)

10/10

[Becky's Butt]

Just got back from seeing it.
I liked it and I don't see anything wrong with Cruise's performance like some have criticized.

Immersion is always important in any media be it books or games or movies. I definitely got immersed in this noble struggle. Sure I knew they were doomed but just seeing it all go down, seeing them so close to dethroning one of history's great butchers...it sucks you in.

I almost cried when they were put in front of the firing squad. Almost.

It's by no means a GREAT film but it's not bad IMO.

[Helegad]

Which film are you talking about, Nik?

[Becky's Butt]

oh. lol Shit. Sorry.
I was talking about Valkyrie.

[Helegad]

Oh. I want to see that film... looks good.

[Trent]

I've been waiting for "Valkyrie" for a long time. I'll see it soon.

"Stardust" was cozy as usual :) 10/10

I'll be seeing "Max Manus" at the movies probably tomorrow. I can't wait for this film, it's about a group of resistance fighters during WWII in Norway. The group was lead by the great saboteur Max Manus.

[Helegad]

I really don't like fantasy movies, but Stardust caught my eye because it had an amazing amount of violence for a simple PG rating in Australia...

[rehunk88]

wanted :D DAMN GREAT GREAT ACTION havent seen it like that in a long time

10/10 !!!

[Trent]

I really don't like fantasy movies, but Stardust caught my eye because it had an amazing amount of violence for a simple PG rating in Australia...
Yeah, it's pretty violent in some scenes. But it tries to balance its self in that it doesn't show any blood at all. In a scene where showing blood is inevitable, they changed the color of blood to blue (no joke).

So I just returned from the movies. "Max Manus" was in my opinion a master piece. It was so patriotic and sad. Definitely the best war movie I've seen in a while and it deserves a solid 10/10.

[himher_elle]

saw James Bond Quantum of Solace... it's.... ok, I felt like everything hapend really quikly, and there are other things I didn't like much; and others I really liked... stil I would have prefered they made a totaly new story. But after all, its ok, I still miss the other James bond, is it Pierce Brosnan (or something like that)?

7/10

[aris13]

Resident Evil Degeneration 7/10

Very entertaining better than Anderson's films and Leon had one or two horrible one liners but I think that he did a pretty good job.

After this I am hoping for more Degeneration films.:)

[Helegad]

Yeah, it's pretty violent in some scenes. But it tries to balance its self in that it doesn't show any blood at all. In a scene where showing blood is inevitable, they changed the color of blood to blue (no joke).

Yeah, I could tell they changed the blood colour to blue to avoid a higher rating...

[Nomad9026]

No, they changed the color of blood cause it's a methafor. It was said that the kings and the members of royal family have the better blood, so called "blue blood", unlike us infidel pesants with the red one :)

[missvalentine]

i just saw Batman Begins, and it was a lot better than i thought it would be.

9.5/10

i liked the bad guy as well, they guy with glasses and the mask.

[Helegad]

No, they changed the color of blood cause it's a methafor. It was said that the kings and the members of royal family have the better blood, so called "blue blood", unlike us infidel pesants with the red one :)

... and why do you think they put that line into it? Having someone's throat slit and dark red blood come out is pretty violent by most people's standards, and having blue blood somewhat lessens the impact. So they sneakily added that line to avoid an R in America, and an M in Australia.

[Member_of_STARS]

Yeah, it was definitely a simple, yet clever move.

I recently saw "7 pounds" starring Will Smith. Its a lot less depressive than "Pursuit of happiness" so its not as painful to watch. Not spectacular though but will leave an impression if youre human. 6/10

Eagle Eye is an excellent action movie, and Shia LeBeouf (sp?) will make it big. The kid is exceptionally talented and one of his last scenes in the movie are definitely one of the most epic scenes ever. The soundtrack is simply amazing. 7/10

Gran Torino. Never before have I seen someone make a mediocre movie with TERRIBLE supporting cast into one of the best movies out there. Clint Eastwood is a god and I sure hope hell get the recognition for the role. I do believe, if all goes well, its going to be a movie hell be remembered by, although it has little to no hype. Ive heard he hated playing the racist guy. 9/10

[Trent]

I recently (finally) saw "The Silence of the Lambs". I thought it was a pretty good flick, I now understand how Anthony Hopkins is generally feared as a character. 9/10

[Malice]

Gran Torino

After all this time, Eastwood is still the man. This is a great movie and if you don't go see it, shame on you.

"I finish things. It's what I do."

[aris13]

Just finishing watching Die Hard....again.:D The film will never grow old, easily the best action movie EVER.

"You asked for a miracle Theo, I give you the F.B.I"

[adamb1029]

i just caught damnnation alley
i LOVE world war 3 and post apocalyptic movies
unfortunetly there are rarely any on where i live...thousand channels and never a good movie..

[Town of Green]

A lot of 10/10 marks being thrown around...

10/10 if you ask me, should be saved for your favourite movie, but whatever.

Agreed. On that note, I watched Alien a little while back again. 10/10 for sure.

[Helegad]

Alien I'd give a 8/10. It wasn't very scary and it didn't really get to me, but it was okay as a movie :)

[Trent]

"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"

I actually liked this movie, the story was alright in my opinion. 7/10 should serve it justice.

[cerberes]

Resident Evil Degeneration. Since i didn't like the other Resi movies i had my doubts about this one. I have to say its the best one so far. I would't mind playing that as a game on my console:D

[Trent]

Been watching a lot of movies lately, that's mainly because of vacation (still got a week left).

So I just saw "Collateral". I thought that movie was awesome, Michael Mann creates good movies. The movie stands out mainly because of the somewhat unique story. 8/10

[missvalentine]

i just saw the Back to the Future trilogy again, 10/10, i love them so much.

i love things about time travel and paradox's.

[Helegad]

I just saw The Dark Knight again.

8/10 because it was a great movie, but REALLY melodramatic, especially towards the end. That dude sayin all that "hero" shit to his son? Pfft.

[Stars1356]

Just saw the Spirt last night and loved it. Plus a friend works at the theater and I got to see it for free so that made it even better. :D

[P Anderson DIE]

Watched The Mist today thought it was great man what an ending dont wanna spoil it so wont give anything away I heard it had a shock twist but I was never expecting that.

[adamb1029]

Sorry if this dosent count as a film but i am rewatching the first and second episodes of the generation kill miniseries.

[Trent]

"Generation Kill" was pretty alright.

I recently saw "Minority Report". I thought it was alright, I could not add any much more. 6/10

This is the last film I saw during vacation, it's been a good run :)

[REmaster]

The unborn is a horrible movie, probably the worst movie I've ever seen in a movie theater...and I go every week or two. In case you're wondering, it's another one of those "be scared of the kid" movies. The only reason I went to go see it is because of Gary Oldman, who turns out to only be in the movie for under 10 minutes. His accent is really good as always, this time around as an American rabbi. I tried really hard to take this film seriously, but it's kind of hard when the whole audience is laughing from cheesy, goofy scenes in the first 30 seconds of the film.

[GuardhouseMusic]

Don't Look Now. It's definitely one of my favorites. Great imagery and an overall subdued but tense atmosphere. I've seen a couple of films pay tribute to it recently, which makes me wonder if Paramount will remake it >_>. I can't really see it in good hands at all under those circumstances.

[JcFFx]

Slumdog Millionaire
10/10
New addition to my 'favourite movies' list
...Hell, I barely even have a 'favourite movies' list. Like I'm one of those people who are picky, don't have any 'favourite movies' to name readily when asked, and think that the movie industry has gone way downhill compared to some older movies. But still, I just really liked this movie for some odd reason...

Oh yeah, I also saw Saw 5...
I haven't really seen the other Saw movies... And I basically spent half the movie making a "DX" face...
I enjoyed it

[Helegad]

Watched Gran Torino. Great movie! 9/10! :D

[Tyrant T-002]

I watched I am Legend (It sucks IMO :D)

And Marley & Me
:D

[LeonsBuddyDave]

Valkyrie. Cruise spent the middle 45 minutes of the movie saying variations on "But I saw the bomb go off!" "But I saw the explosion!" "Hitler is dead, I saw it!". It got preachy.

[Vector]

Saw The Departed for the 56th time.

135/10

[aris13]

I can understand that from your signature.:lol:

[Vector]

The ending still gets me every time.

[ozzwhizz]

Sadly enough i am making my way through the entire Star Trek Voyager series--------Again! Got a thing about Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres). Sad news about Kate Mulgrew getting Alzheimer's, but i'm sure she will remain the positive person that she always was. :(

[Helegad]

I saw:

Marley And Me. Incredibly sad ending. I was on the verge of tears, and I felt my eyes watering up :P 10/10
Seven Pounds. I ruined the ending for myself (fuckin' Wikipedia), so it wasn't much of a suprise. Still a good movie, though. 8/10
Event Horizon. Finally got around to watching it. Nothing special, just your standard sci-fi flick. It had so much in common with Sunshine. 7/10

[P Anderson DIE]

Went to go see My Bloody Valentine....I know, but I'd never seen a movie in 3d but when we got there they said the cinema doesnt have 3d? Lol thought hell will go in since we came all this way kinda cliche horror some decent kills though really disapointed didnt get to see it in 3d.

[nemesiswontdie]

i just watched the breakfast club for the 10000000th time

its such a great movie

"why can andrew get up? il get up, we will all get up IT'LL BE ANARCHY!"

haha, gotta love that movie

[aris13]

Indeed an amazing movie. It brings back memories.:)

[CODE_umb87]

I watched Scary Movie the other day and I forgot how friggin funny it is. Especially the movie theater scene:lol:

[Darkmoon]

Just watched .Rec. Nice little zombie flick. The camera even made sense in a lot of parts, unlike the Zombie Diaries and Diary of the Dead and the like where you just wanna scream, 'put down the bloody camera and help people not die!' Watching the bonuses was fun too as it seems like they had at least two or three story ideas for where it was supposed to go, (Corridor of nails with a bunch of dead kids, the main character escape down the stairs while the zombies stare at the ceiling, she tries the same and gets mauled...) and they changed it somewhat here and there.

Or a lot. But the characters were pretty realistic and well portrayed and bar one bit (the little girl) most of the stuff made sense.

Pretty cool for the most part, and the best camcorder zombie movie of the three I've seen so far. I'm interested to see the American version now.

How would the term, "Americanised" combined with "quality" sound to you :P

Rec is probably the best cam horror/zombie flick out there, I agree completly. I even had a few jump moments which is rather surprising.

[Darkmoon]

Yeah. I heard Quaranteen somehow managed to posses a great deal more guns but not much more than that.

[Helegad]

I just watched Tropic Thunder. Kinda dumb, and very overhyped. I didn't laugh that much.

5/10.

[missvalentine]

i just saw Role Models, it was a pretty funny movie, i went with my brothers, id never even heard of it before i saw it but it was great, it has Sean William Scott in it :lol:

8/10


and i also saw a movie called Romancing the Stone, great movie, i loved it, it was an adventure romance flick, :)

8/10

[CODE_umb87]

Rewatched The Thing(1982) and I have to say it is still the scariest science fiction movie I have ever seen to this day. We seriously need more directors like John Carpenter. Hollywood needs to stop all these untalented directors from remaking his films. Makes me mad just thinking about remakes.

[missvalentine]

i finnaly got a copy of Resident Evil Degeneration, i thought it was great, 9/10 i really loved it for some reason, and i thought Claire was awesome in it, and i loved Angela's character to, Leon on the other hand, was just weird.

[Tyrant T-002]

I saw:

Marley And Me. Incredibly sad ending. I was on the verge of tears, and I felt my eyes watering up :P 10/10


Same!! :nervous:

I knew the end, it was quite obvious, but it was damn sad!!
Everyone in the cinema cryed, except my sister's boyfriend xDD

[Helegad]

I just watched Pineapple Express... so much better than Tropic Thunder.

9/10

Incredibly entertaining ^_^

[Stars1356]

I just watched Max Payne and thought it was horrible. I'm so glad I didn't go see it in the theater. And it's not just the fact that they messed up some of the story, it just wasn't a good action movie. It was very boring and predictable. I hate to say this but the Resident Evil movies were much better.

[Helegad]

Oh, come on. There were some great special effects at the end ^_^

[Wesker's Shadow]

RE: Degeneration

9/10

Such a gorgeous and action packed movie. I especially loved the way the WilPharma facility was designed. It's what the live action ones should've been.

Though I could've used some more of Claire kicking ass, and a mention of Wesker, Sherry or someone from STARS.


Max Payne

6/10

I've only played a bit of the second game. Mark Wahlberg is a gorgeous man, so he was really the only reason why I went to see it, lol. Just an average film, though nothing too spectacular

[Stars1356]

Oh, come on. There were some great special effects at the end ^_^

Really cause I remember seeing him shoot guys with a shotgun, the blood would come out and then they would fly backwards.

Anyway I just saw We Own the Night which was a really good movie and is the third movie this week that I saw that had Marky Mark in it.

[missvalentine]

oh i agree Max Payne sucked badly, it was a total waste of my money, 5/10

anyways i just saw apocalypto, it was great, it was about an ancient mayan tribe living an south america that gets attacked and taken slaves by another tribe, 9/10

[Mr. Spencer]

Watched the workprint of Blade Runner again.

[Tyrant T-002]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The movie is quite big and kinda gets nowhere
Anyway, it's really interesting

9.2/10

[GuardhouseMusic]

Indeed. John Carpenter's very much a master of pastiche. He knows what he likes, and he incorporates elements of those influences to create something completely distinct. Take Halloween (speaking of crap remakes) for example; you can see elements of films like Deep Red, Black Christmas, and of course Psycho, yet it doesn't feel derivative at all.

The Thing is great on so many levels, I don't even know how to begin praising it.

[aris13]

Milk 8/10

Strong performances - good direction

slumdog millionaire, i felt a little sad at the end but it was good.
now i'm going to see benjamin button later on today

[missvalentine]

i just saw a movie called Serenity, it was a Sci-Fi, it was pretty good, 7/10

i liked the kaylee girl in it though, she was nice.

[P Anderson DIE]

Max Payne was bad but have you seen Hitman? Lol you got Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Max Payne, House Of Dead, Final Fantasy can anyone think of a film that's come from a videogame and is better than the game?? I think Degeneration probably the best game to film adaption I've ever seen. Would love to see an Uncharted or Left 4 Dead movie but they'd probably just screw it up.

[Helegad]

Degeneration wasn't an adaption, it was original ;)

Also, Hitman, Tomb Raider, and Max Payne are my Top 3 video game adaptions. Additionally, I liked them very much.

[P Anderson DIE]

Tomb Raider? Really?

[Darkmoon]

i just saw a movie called Serenity, it was a Sci-Fi, it was pretty good, 7/10

You...you mean you haven't seen Firefly? What? What Blasphemy is this?

I'd grab hold of the series for the movie, Firefly, and have fun with that. Because Serenity, once you get all the plot points, is somewhere around sixty four trillion on a scale of one to ten. Although it does loose points for killing off Wash. Poor Wash. 'I am a leaf on the wind.'

[missvalentine]

:lol: funny you mention that, cause as soon as i finished watching Serenity, i looked up Firefly immediately, i want to see it, it looks pretty good.

XD wash's leaf on the wind line was great, then he died, that was sad, but kaylee was awesome, she's my favorite character in the movie, also the mr universe guy, and the assassin were pretty cool.

[Canas Renvall]

Saw Taken last night. Gawd, Liam Neeson has the voice of a god. Good movie. Fairly predictable, but still a fun action flick. 8/10!

[Helegad]

I saw AI Artificial Intelligence again yesterday. Last time I saw it I couldn't remember anything about it. Years ago.

Great techno-punk, scifi film. 8/10.

[Wesker's Shadow]

Meet the Spartans

-100000/10

You know, why can't people ever learn from the classics like Space Balls, Naked Gun, Airplane and Hot Shots?

Ugh, you know you're bored when you end up watching a movie from the producers that made the Scary Movie franchise.

Yeah, there seriously was nothing on last night and I ended up watching this crap of a movie.

I wish I could get those 2 hours back, lol.

Yep, sounds like we were both pretty bored last night, lol.

If there was a way to type an infinite symbol on my computer I would slap an negative sign before it.

Really, parody films have gone downhill since the Scary Movie franchise came along. I'm just glad to see Airplane and Space Balls are still shown every once in while on HBO and Starz.

[Stars1356]

Yea I watched about ten minutes of it on HBO and thought it was just crap. Anyway I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop and was disappointed. I didn't like it and it not because I work security at a mall. It was predictable and not that funny.

yup same here
but i did think the 1st and 3rd scary movies were funny but after that and all
of the "movie" (like date movie, disater movie, meet the spartans ect ect) are all crap
there a waste of time and effort to push the button to turn to the hbo channel just
to watch a guy make out with another guy and give girls high fives

but i agree its good there playing space balls and airplane
and i absolutly love how they play the breakfast club alot
cuz i love that movie everytime i get a chance i watch that movie

I agree, the first and third Scary Movies were pretty funny. I just don't understand where they get the funding though for the movies. I mean it's like they have "crap movie fund" for these types of films stashed away somewhere.

I love those movies! Breakfast Club is an awesome movie. XD They've also been showing Back to the Future like crazy recently. That's another of my favs. I also want to see some Bill and Ted while I'm at it, lol.

[SinValentine]

that movie just looks like a failure anyway :P

[-Evil Shady-]

I watched Wanted this weekend.... bending bullets, a cliche story and Jolie acting hotter than she really was at that time. Good fun, nothing more.

Gonna watch Milk and My Name Is Bruce soon... looking forward to that =D

[riderkid]

Max Payne was bad but have you seen Hitman? Lol you got Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Max Payne, House Of Dead, Final Fantasy can anyone think of a film that's come from a videogame and is better than the game?? I think Degeneration probably the best game to film adaption I've ever seen. Would love to see an Uncharted or Left 4 Dead movie but they'd probably just screw it up.

wing commander was pretty ok and yes i have played the game.

i just saw the halloweentown movies and for a disney made for TV movie there not bad. definately a watch for family minded viewers.

also im goin to see friday the 13th next week so i rented the new doc his name was jason and i will have a full review on fri

[Helegad]

I watched The Bank Job. Awesome flick, 9/10. Great story :D

[nemesiswontdie]

that movie just looks like a failure anyway :P


oh yha the movie was a major failure

but anyways

i just got done watching Bio-Dome on showtime
lol thats a awesome movie i havnt seen it in ages
tho i still dont like pauly shore
but bio-dome and in the army now were his best movies by far

[DXP]

I have finally seen the original assault on precinct 13 and think it was and ace film, still have the 2nd and 3rd godfather's too watch and The final film that is new i watched was degeneration think that's about it. >_<

[aris13]

Saw the Wrestler yesterday.

Very emotional and very dramatic this is Rourke's finest hour.

[Borman]

Saw the Taken yesterday, was pretty damn good

[nemesiswontdie]

i watched bachelor party vegas last night on showtime

10/10
i love that damn movie now
its pretty much a dude flick cuz all that naughty crap that goes on in the movie

[Gideon Quinn]

I watched a Thai film called Shutter last night. Very, very creepy. I'm pretty sure there was an American remake (Which they set in Japan for some odd reason). I reccomend checking it out if you're interested in Asian horror, authough it does play out differently to your average Ringu/Ju-on clone. Also it contains some of the most sleep depriving scenes i've seen in recent years!

[Wesker's Shadow]

I watched the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Marathon yesterday. Goodness, the childhood memories just sweep back into my mind. I loved the turtles when I was younger. I watched the cartoon, collected the action figures, you name it.

The first movie is just pure excellence, second isn't too bad, but the third...When I was younger, I loved all three movies; But after finally watching it again all these years, I realize how terrible the third movie is. It was just so darn cheesy, lol.

"Yo! It's the Green Machine! Gonna rock the town without bein' seen!"

Haha, the Ninja Rap is forever etched into my mind.

[DXP]

Just ordered zombie flesh eaters aka zombi 2 off amazon so that should be the next movie i watch.

[Stars1356]

Saw the Wrestler yesterday.

Very emotional and very dramatic this is Rourke's finest hour.

I saw this on Sunday and have to agree with you. Besides how can you go wrong with wrestling and strip clubs.

[nemesiswontdie]

U CANT! lol ill have 2 see this move ive heard nothing but good reviews about it... then again i heard good reviews about the dark knight and i thought it blew

[aris13]

I had the same problem with the Dark Night. The reviews were great and when I finally saw it I was like "ehh it's ok but nothing special". Also the story was TOO serious for a comic book movie.

[Perry Barclay]

Watched Gyorgy Palfi's Taxidermia last night in bed.
I'd seen a little bit of it before so this time I recorded it so I could see it in full. Very funny in places but enough there to make you think.

Going to watch Irreversible tonight after Mad Men.

awesome, im not the only one here who thinks that:D, i was prepairing my self

but i honestly think that the joker made the movie

if the joker didnt look cool in the dark knight
that movie wouldnt have made it in theaters long

they show parts of abortions, and then theres a part where you see a river full of aborted baby fetus's
then theres this one part where this woman is thinking about throwing her baby over a bridge
but insted she smashes the babys head on to the bridges handrail then throws it off.

It was very mediocre.

Hmm, I haven't seen that Masters of Horror episode (well, I've only seen one), but isn't that one of the pieces directed by John Carpenter?

[riderkid]

goin to see cold prey and friday the 13th tomorrow

[nemesiswontdie]

just got back from a midnight showing of the remake of Friday The 13

spoilers below


the movie was pretty good i must say and im a huge Jason fan/slasher films/horror films and i was actually impressed at what they did in the movies, they even showed Jason's mom at the beggining like what happened to her at the end of the original friday the 13th movie where jasons mom gets her head chopped of
but like i said its a all around pretty decent movie and even has some boobies in there as if u went expecting that lol

kills pt.1
the first kill was eh, just a regular machete kill like usuall
the second kill wasnt that bad just a ordinary machete kill again if i remember correctly
the 3rd kill was pretty cool, jason takes a girl in a sleeping bag and ties her up on a tree under the fire pit and
she burns to death and while shes burning to death her boyfriend hears her scream and he comes running
after her and he steps on a bear trap, then you see to ppl go into a "abandoned camp house (which is where jason lives) and
they find jason's mom's head and jason starts stabbing through the floor and comes up from beneath the floor and
takes one of the dudes from inside the house while the girl escapes and then she stubles across the guy in the bear trap
and jason sees the guy in the bear trap and bam! machete threw the skull lol and then he swings at the girl and the screen goes black

kills pt.2
jason meets some funny red neck dude and slits his throat, another group of friends go to a camp house near crystal lake and the first kill in the 2nd part is where a boyfriend
and girlfriend take there friends boat out for a spin and the girl is wake boarding with a out a top on (WHOOO!) and jason
takes a cross bow and nails the guy in the head with a arrow and the girl falls off the wake board
and the boat turns around and nails here and she lives (which is bull shit i must say she would have died by the speed he was going)
and she sees jason and she swims for her life and she swims to the other side of the lake and hides under the deck and she sees jason
walking above her and then he takes his machete and drives his machete threw her damn skull
then my favorite character breaks his friends chair and goes out to the tool shead and looks for some
tools to fix it and he stubles across some good alchol and starts to drink it and he starts fucking around
with some hockey stick and (heres wat makes me laugh the most out of the whole movie) he sees jason
and says "whow dude you scared me, u looking for this? *holds out the hockey stick he was playing with* then he says "it matches your outfit" then
jason starts to kick his ass bear handed and the asian guy takes a screw driver and was going to stab him and jason makes him stab himself with the screw driver he tryed to pull out
then, the next kill was a black guy looking for his asian friend and comes across jason and he escapes jason and as the black guy
is running away jason throws a double bladded axe at him and nails him in the back then picks him up
and slams him to the ground and the axe goes through him
then jason takes some girl and puts stabs her with some deer antler trophy thing
then jason stabs some cop threw the eye with a fire place poker (it looked like a fire place poker at least) and
then the people run away and jason finds one of the guys and slams him on to a spike which was on the back of a towing truck
the next kill was jason stabs a girl threw the chest

REALLY BIG SPOILER HOW IT ENDS!!!! DONT READ UNLESS YOUR NOT GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE!
2 people tie up jason by the neck with chains and puts the chains in a wood chip grinder and one of the
girls stabs jason with his machete threw the chest and the top of his head hits the wood chip grinder's saw
then at the end the guy and the girl who survive throw jason and his mask into the lake and
then jason pops out from underneath the deck then its over


my only complaint was that, they wernt even handing out styrophome/ plastic
hockey mask out or even t-shirts which kinda pissed me off since it was a midnight showing
but i bet they will during the regular times tommarow (bull shit if they do)
and another thing that pissed me off was that there going to remake
"Last House On The Left" which is one of my favorite 80's horror movies just cuz it was so
cheesy but still, it shouldnt be ruined with another shitty remake. but thats just my opinion

thnx for reading my post if u read all of it

BTW! if u guys were wondering theres 4 or 5 sets of titties in the movie (thats just for the guys who
wanted to know how many boobies there was in the movie) oh and a small ass shot to^_^

[DXP]

watched zombie flesh eaters last night and god how crap it was >.< but it was also good if that even makes any sense. I also have watched taken which is an amazing film \m/

[riderkid]

just saw both friday the 13th and cold prey, hope ot have a video up tomorrow night abotu my thoughts on both

[GuardhouseMusic]

Dr. Strangelove, which was a long time coming, being that Kubrick is one of my favorite directors anyway. What a tremendous satire, and George C. Scott couldn't have been any more insane. Lest we forget Peter Sellers's multiple roles.

[P Anderson DIE]

Id take Skeleton Key anyday over that new Friday 13th oh my god what aload of trash. Im a fan of all the other films but this remake is straight up garbage. They try to build up a story from the get go and then dont mention it again. Jason has hardly no back story. It's all about some guy looking for his sis. I did not go to see this movie to see this idiot search the woods I went for Jason and to be honest he is hardly in the film. The ending was hella bad to. Was kinda gutted because I thought the TCM remake wasnt to bad, wasnt as good as the orig (They never are) but I think it stood on its on two legs. Friday the 13th just fell flat on its ass. 4/10. and thats only because it always nice to see Jason.

[Weskers Flag]

I hate slahser films. They're always so boring and prediectable. You can always tell.
he's gonna die.
he's gonna die.
She's gonna get cut in half.
She's gonna get laid.
He's gonna be decapitated.
he did it.
Etc.

yha i seen it last night 4 the 2nd time, its not that gr8 the 2nd time did u see there remaking "last house on the left"?

[Jill's Boob]

I saw the new "Friday the 13th" yesterday, as I was always a big fan of Jason. "F13" & "A Nightmare on Elm Street" were the first two horror films I saw as a kid.

I've seen F13 Parts 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and bits and pieces of 1, 3, 7, 9, X. I've also seen F vs J. So I am not some newcomer to the franchise.

This new film, while underwhelming, was a welcome addition to me. Easily ranks in my top 3, along with 2 & 4. 6 is also decent, though the humor was offsetting. (And the James Bond parody of an opening...ugh.)

I found the new, aggressive Jason to be akin to a shark. Fast, brutal, efficient. He was violence incarnate.

The characters (victims?) all had some substance - not much - but they were more dimensional than your standard horror movie fare.

The film score was also well done, I believe. I know many pine for "ki ki, ma ma" every 15 minutes, but is it really necessary?

After seeing the garbage that is Parts 5, 8, 9, and X...how can anyone be disappointed with this film? This film was the equivalent to "The Godfather" when compared to the later entries in the F13 franchise. "Jason Goes to Hell" and "Jason X" are some of the most vile pieces of celluloid garbage that I have ever seen.

And Jason, as a humanized, brutally fast...almost "wild" animal...was refreshing. He didn't mess around. He just killed those that trespassed into his territory.

Now I think the pacing was well done, but it was almost too fast. I think they tried to cram too much into only 90 minutes. They should have made it about 105 minutes long, which is what they are rumored to do with the DVD release for the "unrated extended edition."

Anyway, this film was a much needed re-imagining to the Jason lore. He had become a laughing stock kind of enigma in his later iterations...I mean:

- teleporting Jason ("Takes Manhattan")
- demonic worm ("Goes to Hell")
- Cyborg Killer ("X")
- Lumbering Frankenstein afraid of water ("F v J")

Jason is back! Even in this slick, polished Michael Bay *shudder* produced film.

*EDIT: Ladies of the message boards, I do not mean to be offensive, but the actress who played the character of Bree in this film had the most exquisite pair of breasts that I have ever seen.

[P Anderson DIE]

Nah didnt see that trailer nemesiswontdie. I never saw the original either I hear it has some "explict" scenes kinda put me off like "I spit on your Grave" and the more recent "Teeth". I hear they are also remaking The Thing, Nightmare On Elm Street and I'm sure theres more. Latley I've gone more towards tv shows than films dont think I have to explain why.

[GuardhouseMusic]

Jill's Boob...I must know...is Friday the 13th better than that godawful Halloween remake? Because I have a great nostalgia for Friday the 13th (and like you, my favorite is Part 2; I've heard the sack returns in this one and I like that).

OH YHA it alot better than the halloween remake

but yes the sack makes its return for about 45 minutes then jason finds a
hockey mask after killing some funny redneck guy lol

but i agree

8,9 and X sucked balls

my fav is 3 and 4 tho

3, cuz i just thought it was good and jason's signature hockey mask makes
its appearence in it to

4 cuz it was the 1st jason movie i ever seen and i still love it to this day

but 5 sucked you cheer for jason untill the very end when you relize IT WASNT EVEN JASON IN THE DAMN MOVIE!
ITS SOME WANNA BE PUNK BITCH!

but 6 was funny as hell, i laughed through that whole movie cuz was haliarious:lol:

Oh, the F13 remake pays homage to many of the previous F13 films. I really enjoyed it. You will too, as long as you go in without expecting it to be some sort of masterpiece.

As for the "Halloween" remake, I found that to be a very atrocious film. The whole extended backstory element with MIchael's childhood was unnecessary. Michael Myers (and all fictional monstrosities) work better as enigmas. Fleshing them out just causes them to lose their appeal, in my opinion. And, I think Rob Zombie is a terrible filmmaker. I actually had to shut off "The Devil's Rejects" half way through because it was like a bad snuff film. I didn't let that deter me from seeing his vision for Halloween, since I loved Carpenter's first 2...but his "reboot" sucked.

F13 (2009) is a great polished film, though underwhelming. And Jason is a fast, lithe, brutal terror. As I said - in this film he is violence incarnate. And the film isn't too gory, especially compared to crap like "Saw" and "Hostel," which are TOO disgusting.

[Vector]

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

4 WTFLOLNO's out of 10

The one thing I took away from this movie: Kevin James LOVES being fat.

[nemesiswontdie]

mall cop suxed, 2 jills boob, i love the saw and hostel movies,lol there suppose 2 be gory which makes them so great

[Jill's Boob]

^Haha, I wasn't trying to say they are utter crap films (as I've only seen "Saw 1" but I have seen both "Hostels")...I was just saying those films have a lot of gore. And you know how if you have a pile of clothes in the corner, you say, "that crap over there?" Well it was like that.

But those films are examples of the way supposed horror films are nowadays - with ultra violence and explicit depictions of gore.

Now as for my opinion of "Saw" - it was ho-hum. I never had an urge to see any of the other ones. And the fact that they come out like once a year is kind of indicative of the quality, is it not?

And "Hostel" - Part 1 was decent, as was Part 2. But they're not films I would re-watch.

Just my 2 cents.

[GuardhouseMusic]

That's good enough for me, I may end up seeing it tomorrow :)

Just saw The Miracle at St. Anna. I can't understand where all the negative reviews are coming from; even if you compare it with Spike Lee's more recognized earlier films, it's distinct and well made.

[Darkmoon]

Saw Zombie Strippers. Much amusement to be had.
