Here's what I have to say about the Twilight series...

Anyone who has ever so much as found the slightest complaint with Eragon or Harry Potter shouldn't even touch this melodramatic, Mary-Sue covered bull****. It's like it was written by a preteen girl.

do you mean the harry potter films or the books? I love the books but i dont like the films that much to be honest lol but i really do agree with you about twilight

[DarkMemories]

I just mean the universes in general. Basically, there's no way (that I can see) anyone with a lick of sense could possibly value the Twilight series and somehow think Harry Potter or Eragon are all that horrible in comparison.

Funny you should say that, she was 12 when she wrote it. :lol:
Edit: I was wrong, she was 32. Misread it.

[nemesiswontdie]

Watchout Canas to much knowledge of twilight rots the brain.

[Canas Renvall]

I know, I know... I haven't read the books or seen the movie though, so I'm pretty sure I'm safe for the most part. :D

[GuardhouseMusic]

I just saw Funny People (lucky me; it's going soon) and while I thought there were some great laughs, the damn thing didn't know how to end. Either way the James Taylor scene was hilarious, the Daisy character was underused, and the Eminem scene was weird.

[aris13]

Drag Me To Hell

Decent flick. You're going to love it if you're an Evil Dead fan.

[Inferno04]

Funny you should say that, she was 12 when she wrote it. :lol:
Edit: I was wrong, she was 32. Misread it.

She ACTS like she's 12 years old. Have you seen this woman in an interview? It's like Uwe Boll's movie commentaries, you can tell she worships herself and sees no flaw in her books. She also seems to think if people didn't like Breaking Dawn,(THE My Immortal of this already fanfiction-y series) then they just didn't 'understand it'

Stephen King is right about this lady. She cannot write. >D


I want to se Drag me to Hell. D= Is it really as campy good as Evil Dead? <3

Ive seen drag me to hell and its no where near as good as Evil Dead. Its got some kind of creepy moments and a realy evil deadesque scene involving a demon but apart from that its a pretty average horror film.

[Agent_Wong]

What I really want to see that I just saw the first ad for is.....ZOMBIELAND!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-cIjPOJdFM) Seriously this movie may not be the ultimate horror but it's gonna be friggen hilarious.

[Member_of_STARS]

Any of you guys seen "Frequently asked questions about timetravel"?

holy shit! Cheers for the link to that trailer because this film looks awsome. I wonder if it can beat Shaun of the Dead?

[WeskerIncarnate]

Idiocracy.

Hilarious movie, and actually not too far fetched.

[nemesiswontdie]

comedy central played that today so I take it you seen it on there?

[Inferno04]

The accuracy and reflection of our society in that movie terrifies me. It's so true. ><

[WeskerIncarnate]

The accuracy and reflection of our society in that movie terrifies me. It's so true. ><

Indeed.

I mean, just think about it. We already have a TV show called "Jackass"...

Not too far off from the premise of "Ow, my balls!"


comedy central played that today so I take it you seen it on there?

Nope.

[nemesiswontdie]

So I watched The Begotten today...


I have no idea what I just watched.

[WeskerIncarnate]

Gran Torino.

Not perfect, but a pretty good movie all around. One of its notable qualities was that it was sad, but not in a sappy tone that demanded you ball your eyes out.

[Beef_jerky_yo]

Just saw Love Happens. Made me smile. I can't wait for zombieland

[Dash141]

FOKIN' BLIKSEM!

Ahem.

Went to see District 9 the other day. Quite an epic movie. Go see it if you haven't already.

[aris13]

Taken

Great action flick with a good performance by Liam Neeson.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Plannet Terror.

Such a great film i love it! so much gore and over the top action mixed with a lot of humor :D

[YamiYumes]

Actually watched the original Scream a couple of nights ago. That was a nice dose of nostalgia. Hahaha.

[MrBlackz]

Any of you guys seen "Frequently asked questions about timetravel"?


yes and i felt so let down everything fell short in it
just felt like an it crowd episode
glad it was just a download

[himher_elle]

Transformers 2!!! it's great!!!
Am i the onlly one who thinks Michael Bay should direct a movie about gears of war? he could use hes epicness in something a bit more interesting than cars that transform (I think if he does a third one, it'll get boring)

[I_Am_Nemesis]

He would be my first choice for a gears of war director but he would have to make the film look gritty like saving private ryan but just more epic lol

[Stars1356]

Watched Zombieland the other night and loved it. The end dragged on a little bit but the movie was better than any of the crap that Anderson put out. The best part was When they went to Bill Murray's house and he was there, movie kinda went down hill after this.

[GuardhouseMusic]

I just saw an early George Romero flick, The Crazies. Boy this guy likes doing movies about epidemics. There are some disturbing as hell scenes, from the extent of the ailment. You either die after a while, or you become delerious/aggressive. It also has a great ambiguity; some of the soldiers quarantining could either be infected or abusing authority. I enjoyed it.

[Ray]

I saw Final Destination 4. Ugh.

The only thing remotely interesting to me was the escalator. Muaha...

[VirusPunk]

I just saw Zombie Land today with a friend, it freaking ruled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best zombie movie for me, hands down.

That part was hilarious, man.

[BadWolfX]

Finally saw District 9. Whao.

[P Anderson DIE]

Just watched Damage with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Not a bad film, Not as good as The Condemned. His finishing move "The Damage" is kinda lame but anything is lame compared to the stunner.

[Agent_Wong]

I watched "The" Final Destination and Gamer in the last few days. I have to say I wasn't impressed with Final Destination but Gamer was really pretty good.

[Vector]

Marley and Me.

All I can say is, if you have a dog or just like animals in general, don't watch this movie unless you feel like crying at the end. It was a pretty good movie, Owen Wilson wasn't his stereotypical self, he actually acted. Jennifer Aniston was great as usual.

I don't cry during too many movies, but the ending killed me. I hugged and kissed my dog after it ended.

[blaze]

Paranormal Activity.

Hoh-lee shit.

Don't watch it alone.

[WeskerIncarnate]

^:lol:


Now I HAVE to watch it by myself...somehow...

[Ray]

I saw 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs'. Quirky, fun, and it matches well with the original book too!

I'm planning to watch 'Where the Wild Things Are'. I was a big fan of the book as a small one, and am ready for a nostalgia-gasm.

I'm also planning on watching 'Paranormal Activity' with a few friends. Sounds yummy.

[WeskerIncarnate]

^So was I. That book was a fun one to read.

In the meantime, I just saw Zombieland about a week ago. Pretty good movie, in my opinion.

Looking forward to "Still Walking". Let us see what all the hype is about there...

[REmaster]

Ive seen drag me to hell and its no where near as good as Evil Dead. Its got some kind of creepy moments and a realy evil deadesque scene involving a demon but apart from that its a pretty average horror film.

Yea I watched it last night. Classic Raimi style but I felt like he couldn't get the right mixture of horror or comedy, just kind of akward at some points. There were some scary ass parts though lol. "platinum card, very good" :lol:

[chris redfield]

just saw zombieland last week, one of the best zombie movies ive ever seen.

[Stars_g36]

Holy Fuck, Paranormal Activities has me pretty messed up after seeing. I just finished watching it about 20 min ago... god damn it gets intense.

[P Anderson DIE]

Watched Halloween 2 woof! Possibly the worst Halloween ever. Yes even worse than Halloween 3.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

i recently saw zombieland and while it was great it wasnt as good as i expected, not quite as good as shaun of the dead but still pretty damn good, i hear that theyre meant to make a few sequels too

[P Anderson DIE]

Just watched Paranormal Activity. I've seen my fair share of horror movies and the last movie that had me freaked out was The Entity. Just something about Poltergeists scare the crap out of me. I was loving this film and then I saw the ending. Not only did it spoil the ending of the film for me, I instantly felt all the fear and tension it had built up throughout the film just vanish. I'm really gutted if I could go back I would turn the film off 5 minutes from the end and this film would have been a hell of a lot scarier. Out of all the endings they could have gone with, they picked the lamest most predictable. I hear the original ending is much better though so lets hope it's on the dvd.

Out of all the endings they could have gone with, they picked the lamest most predictable. I hear the original ending is much better though so lets hope it's on the dvd.

I saw the cop ending, and really I think both endings are two alternate ways to end it conventionally, which is what had to happen. This sounds crazy, but I kinda wish the film didn't end. Every last night and aftermath scene was absolutely chilling, with my eyes racing around the camera setup to see if something appears in a door opening or dim bit of light, and my ears on high alert. You could do so much crap with that, and the fact that they made it all so minimal and cliche was fitting. You learn midway through the film that The couple is actually dealing with a demon. It doesn't have a face, no form, it's debatable that it even makes noises, it fucks with such a convincing setting that the fear just rushes. We've seen it commit acts that can't be explained naturally. I just heard commentary about this film that even if there's motivation, or if it reveals itself, what can you do? It's just so horrifying to fill in the blanks, and the movie presents that so well. I just can't figure out a way to adequately end it, and since this film's effect is based around the anticipation of a payoff, I'm not surprised that the ending put certain feelings to rest.

[Stu]

Just watched it myself. Really great film, probably better than other the shakey cam movies out there. The pacing is spot on, really nails it. I managed to last about 40 minutes before i had to turn the lights on.

I'm not easily scared. The only TV/movie to ever deeply scare me was a UK tv show called Ghost Watch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwatch), which was basically a "real" documentary about a haunted house. Basically there was a brief shot of the show's ghostly figure in the bedroom which you saw from a panning shot...but when the camera quickly moved back to check it ("Pipes") was gone. This utterly rocked me at the age of 10/11.

But this film contains easily the most horrific thing i've seen since then. Truly horrible to watch. I've spoilered it for those that get to see it...Katie being dragged in her sleep for her bed and down the hall.

Yeah, would definitely recommend this!

[BLSR1]

Just got back from Zombie Land.

Loved it 4.5/5

[Canas Renvall]

Katie being dragged in her sleep for her bed and down the hall.
Oh my fucking God, that was ridiculous. Just saw it tonight with my friends, and like you, I've seen my fair share of horror... but damn. Everything about that movie was portrayed so well. The characters were real, they didn't feel like actors. The way the couple would bicker and such was so realistic. The way the camera was used (on a fixed tripod during the night as opposed to "shaky cam") was so simple, and yet it opened up so many possibilities.

I really didn't mind the ending. I don't want to take any risks or spoil anything about the movie, so I'll just spoiler it.
The build-up was incredible. The way Katie just stands over him for like, two hours before walking downstairs had me thinking "Dear fucking God, this will be bad." Then when she screams and he goes to see what's wrong, and literally nothing happens for about half a minute... You know a horror movies is scary when not a single thing moves for more than 10 seconds and you're just freaking out about it. Also, the sound was incredible. The way she was screaming so loud at the end, and it just gets cut short, you know something's horribly wrong. Freaked me the fuck out.

I was so enthralled by this couple's predicament, it was so horrifying, that I didn't even realize until after the movie was over that my hands and legs were shaking. Right now I have to have the TV on just to have the noise. I can't stand hearing silence anymore. Also, regarding that in the movie, I hope people caught that it was totally silent at night, but when the hauntings would begin, you could kinda hear some sort of quiet, windy, breathing sort of sound. And the moment it stopped, it was totally silent again. Everytime, I was like "Fuck, where is it, what's changing?!" The loudest screams in the theater came from the most subtle changes.

Even as I write this, I can't get my arms to stop shaking. I seriously can't consider sleeping well tonight. I hear my dad walking around upstairs, but I can't help but think of Paranormal Activity. My phone just vibrated with a Twitter update, and the sound of the vibrations sent a chill down my spine. I look at everything differently now that I've seen that movie. I can't wait to pick it up on DVD.

I recommend this, but I also warn you: you will not be the same after seeing it. I guarantee you.

@WeskerIncarnate: Don't watch it alone. Seriously.

[P Anderson DIE]

Definatley watch it alone and in the dark, It's the best way to enjoy this movie.

[Canas Renvall]

^ I was talking more about if she ever wanted to sleep again, don't watch it alone. :P

[Vector]

I've been hearing a lot about this Paranormal Activity movie:
"Scariest movie of all time."
"I didn't sleep after watching it."
"So scary! I jumped so many times!"

Just watched it.

Easily, one of the top five WORST FUCKING FILMS I have ever seen in my life. I continue to NOT be scared by ANY of the piece of shit 'horror' films that come out these days. The only scary thing about this film is that people are going to waste their hard-earned cash to see it because of all the hype that is surrounding it. I didn't jump once during this movie, and I only felt myself getting uncomfortable once, near the end.

Sure, the idea of something like this happening is freaky, and I believe that there is some kind of higher power...a 'supernatural' power, what have you...but seeing it on film was nothing short of a waste of my time. There was NOTHING scary about this movie. The ending was eerie, ironic and kind of sad at best, but the film as a whole was fucking stupid. I cannot recommend this movie to anyone, unless you piss me off and I am seeking revenge.


I recommend this, but I also warn you: you will not be the same after seeing it. I guarantee you.

Yes, Canas is right. I'm not the same after seeing this movie. I now have even LESS faith in humanity.

[Stu]

haha! Always funny when people hide behind a film's hype...when there's two people here alone who've seen it and enjoyed it WITHOUT the hype!

[nemesiswontdie]

Well theres always someone out there who doesnt like a movie. Theres no such thing as a perfect movie were EVERYONE likes it.

[Vector]

haha! Always funny when people hide behind a film's hype...when there's two people here alone who've seen it and enjoyed it WITHOUT the hype!

Hype or not, the movie didn't scare me. Not one bit. I also didn't buy the acting. There was a point in the movie where you got a close-up of Katie's face during a time where she should've been absolutely SHITTING HER PANTS, and I just did not get that impression.

[Stu]

So you didn't like it. Boohoo. No reason at all to play the hype card.

[Vector]

So you didn't like it. Boohoo. No reason at all to play the hype card.

Well, when I hear 'scariest movie of all time' thrown around in the advertising for the film, I expect to be just a little bit rattled by what I see...and I wasn't. The only way I was even remotely scared by the movie was when I used my own imagination and tried putting myself in their shoes, and still even then, it seemed farfetched. I'd much rather watch a documentary on real events, true possible paranormal activity.

[Ray]

Probably the reason people are scared where I live (San Diego) is probably because it takes place here. I'm watching it tonight with a few friends; I'll just have t wait and see.

[Inferno04]

I, literally, just got back from watching Cirque Du Freak: Vampire's Assistant.
...Why did I even expect anything? >< 5/10

Okay, this movie, is a clusterfuck. I promised myself I woulldn't bitch about book differences. And I really don't care. Stuff like changing Cormac to a woman, Mr. Tiny's color from yellow to purple, I don't care. But it jumbled up the story the the point of certain events. It revealed things and hinted at things that were in the LAST BOOK. That's what I had a problem with, book-to-movie wise.

So here I shall list pros, cons, and general rambling on what I thought. This will spoil the entire story, book and movie. So if you haven't or want to read the books, don't look. And if you plan to see it, then maybe don't read...I just don't want my bias to affect others. ><

Let me list Pros first so I don't sound like a complete movie snob >< Don't get me wrong, this movie wasn't insufferable. I'd see it again but, it's just slightly painful to watch.

Pros:

-Evra. He practically saved this movie's sad attempt at humor. He was a regular teen, casual, kinda snarky, and I still have that fangirly crush on him. Thank god his, "I just wanna play music! D8" subplot went NOWHERE.

-Mr. Tiny. Lord I loved how this man played Mr. Tiny. He was jolly, he was mysterious, and all he wanted was destruction. The problem is, while his motive was clear, his wasn't played as neutral in the books. In the books, he wanted to see destruction, yes, but he prodded both sides. He was neutral, not sided more one way or the other. That aside, this guy was a GREAT Tiny in my eyes.

-The setting. I really loved the theatre and the Cirque's camp most of all, but every place was just right. From the white picket fence homes, clean school, to the dark and obscure cirque, all of it. I think that's what I liked about the setting. It wasn't just dark, it was obscure. Don't think Burton obscure either, it didn't feel like it was trying to be his style AT ALL.

-Rebecca. Sort of...eh. I hated Debbie. Always have and will, she's boring, flat, and has no business being in the books past 3. Rebecca could at least do something to save herself. So, hurray for monkey tails, +1 respect point.

-The 'Freaks' Wow. Just wow. I think the actual performance was my favorite part of the movie. Maybe it was just my anticipation, these books having be my favorite series, but I was so giddy to see all of the talents, all of the characters come to life on the screen, just as I had imagined them looking. I can't wait to see how Merla will look, or Evra's children.

-The Score. Note, not the songs...That's a con. >< The score was greaaaat. Epic feel, sad when he bid his family goodbye, very good general epic movie feel.

I wish I could say more pros but...whew, here goes.

Cons:

-THE HUMOR. God I cannot begin to bitch about this. Let me say, yes I did laugh at the jokes. Did I like that they were there, nooooo. >< Swearing in a sentence, does not make it funny. We're going to like, Transformers humor here. Larten probably wouldn't say, 'That's bullshit' either, just to bitch about characterization issues...
It has the same problem as the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Let me put it like that. Those movies were good. They had a pretty dark and good plot. But uh oh, it's licensed by Disney, let's have some ZANY sidekicks, and how about a little monkey that grins, see, THAT'S family humor. 8D It's like everytime something serious would happen, they feel the need to pull us out of there with a joke so inapropriate for the moment. That is exactly what Cirque Du Freak's main problem was. Some random slapstick moment, or swear at the wrong time. ><

-The Music. I'm going to say it right now. The score was good, but the actual soundtrack, songs played? Hey. Hey movie. Stop trying to be like Watchmen. Stop putting in different, older tunes in at an inappropriate time, it's not clever cause you didn't work it right. >< Half the time the music was saying "LAUGH" while the movie was saying just the opposite. I noticed this most in the beginning, during Darren's funeral. The music was all, upbeat, ho-dunky. xD Thanks for taking a moment that made me cry in the book and make it humorous, thaaanks. xD

-Steve's involvement so early.
WHAT. THE. HELL. MOVIE. When he says, "I'll never forget this" in the books, it's presented like teen bitching, emotional angst that will pass. Sure, when he comes back in the latter half of the books, his "Oh I iz a good guy" is obviously fake, but the point is. We were never expected, never hinted, never thought to see him again. so many other important events made us forget him. But in the movie he's so instantly thrown in immediately after Darren leaves. He's immediately turned into a villian. His apprerance as the main big bad, in a final showdown with Darren, is way later. The book's plot progress to many enemies, now the movies will have Steve reoccuring as a villian again frequently, like the Joker and Batman for Christsake.

-LartenxTruska. AHHHHHH. Just AHHHHHHHHH. I WANT ARRA. >< THIS IS NOT A GOOD PAIRING. ><

-Gavner. Oh Gavner, sweet Gavner, what have they done to you...>< You just have to Google how Dafoe looks here for yourself. They made him into a little dandy boy. >< Little pencil mustache, bright colored tux, oily and just gaaah. He's even more fancy than you'd expect Kurda to be. Book-vets may be the only ones that know this but, the vampires are general barbaric in nature, so not Rice's vamps. Animalistic, and Gavner was one such type.

-All the hints. STOP DROPPING SPOILER HINTS MOVIE. Harkat doesn't introduce himself, somebody just says his name right off the bat. Larten's death is slightly alluded to, Tiny keeps calling both boys, "Son" WAY too frequently to be a coincidence. There's this one part where Truska has a vision, and lists off words like "Redemption, destruction", which all kind of hint at an order of future events. We were never supposed to know how Tiny creates Little People until the Lake of Souls journey, but oh, Murlough gets turned into one after his death. Tiny's powers and role are expanded on WAYYYYYY too early. He's the damn puppetmaster, you don't reveal that early. ><

-The editing. Really, REALLY bad jump cuts at certain points, you can just tell that had to snip five seconds of walking to make some kind of deadline, it was bad. The pacing was disrupted this way, and people who haven't read the books may be left confused

Well, despite the likes and dislikes...I can still say it's better than Twishit. It's a shame that such a shitty series got the budget while a decent vampire series got shit, and a shit movie to show for it that's STILL better.

Cirque Du Freak, like a Series of Unfortunate Events, unfortunately suffered bad production, bad budget, and a sub-par movie that probably won't be expanded into a sequel, while much shittier books with worse movie adaptations will get to keep going. ><

Speaking of, I had to sit through a New Moon trailer, and lord help me they made it look GOOD. It certainly made the action sequences look good, along with some better CGI effects, but you just KNOW it's going to be a craptastic angst fest. xD I'm not wasting my money on it. Seeing Bella toss her body around and scream like a mental patient over a BREAKUP, made me lol hard. Some girls stared at me. It was amusing. <3

[Ray]

I just saw Paranormal Activity.

7/10

It was a good movie, all in all, but it doesn't do justice to the [over]hype.

The two main actors were good (Katie and Micah). They acted... real. Though, that Amber girl seemed rather forced just to make it seem like they had contact with the outside world. The psychic was funny, but was only there for a short while.

What probably stopped me from being scared was my motion-sickness. But come on, really, even if you WEREN'T freaked out, would you still shake the FUCKING CAMERA OVER AND OVAAR!!? It was hard to tolerate, but at least the still scenes were pretty good.

Story wise, it was really nice. The backstory of Katie being haunted since childhood was a nice lil' touch. The build-up to the end was good, too. Also, the fact the thing haunting Katie was not a ghost, but a demon was rather... intriguing.

The hauntings (specifically the night-related ones) were really freaky. Too bad they were always presented either right before or right after the fucking shaky scenes.

The end (I think the first of the 3 total), where Katie (possessed) kills Micah was nice. Though, I'd rather have the ending where Katie gets shot by the cops after her friend Amber calls them in after seeing Micah's dead body. It would've provided better closure, as we all know the possibility of a sequel is rather low. At least it wasn't the throat-slitting ending with Katie. That just seemed... dumb.

In the end, it was enjoyable. I just had to keep my head together from all the fucking shakiness. Half the time it was just SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Oh well. It was still worth the money I used to buy the ticket.

[Stars1356]

I also saw Paranormal Activity and while I was not really scared I did have chills running up and down my body when

the covers move on the bed

I like how everything was build up and things just got worse and worse but think the ending didn't suit everything that happened.

To think that Katie is still missing is corny and hope there isn't a sequel planed. I think the ending where Katie dies would have fit better as that would be the ultimate end to the build up of the demon.

Does anyone know where all the other ending were mentioned?

[TheOvermind001]

So you didn't like it. Boohoo. No reason at all to play the hype card.

No, really... the entire advertising campaign is based around hype. It was artificially inflated and built up.

Although I do agree it was a bad film... I don't think it was a waste to see it (keep in mind I did not pay to enter the theater :P ). If you thought the Blair Witch Project was scary, you'll think this movie is scary too. It strikes a chord with anyone who has sometime during their life experienced some kind of unexplainable or eerie situation while in their bedroom trying to sleep at night.

[P Anderson DIE]

Saw it again watch the bedroom door for a shadow on night number 19. Didn't notice this the first time.

Out of like 50 people's opinions on this film around 40 of them loved it. There is no film out there that everyone like's. I'm not saying it was prefect it was far from it specially the ending but as handheld camera horror's goes this is by far the best in MY opinion.

[Stu]

No, really... the entire advertising campaign is based around hype. It was artificially inflated and built up.

People artificially inflated and built up the feeling that they were terrified from this movie? haha bullshit! There are people watching this film without having seen all the advertising hype (try to remember the world consists of more than America) and are still getting scared shitless out of it.

My point was really more that why blame hype when it suits? CR29 has been blowing his load over one of the most hype-driven games of the generation, yet because he likes it he'll ignore the over-hype. But when it's something he doesn't like, boooooo! Fuck hype!!1!

Makes no sense.

Now children, I haven't had to beat any of you with a coal sack for several weeks now. Don't make me go find the sack. Play nice.

Makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense. He's whining about the overhype because he didn't like it. He isn't going to complain Uncharted 2 is overhyped because he loves it. It's one of the easiest things to blame when you're disappointed with something.

I'm not saying it's a valid complain because the reason he thinks its overhyped is because he got pulled in by the hype. If he went in to see it completely clueless and not having seen any reviews from people then he may of liked it because he didn't have any expectations.

[Vector]

My point was really more that why blame hype when it suits? CR29 has been blowing his load over one of the most hype-driven games of the generation, yet because he likes it he'll ignore the over-hype. But when it's something he doesn't like, boooooo! Fuck hype!!1!

Makes no sense.

It's simple, really. I was part of the hype for Uncharted 2 because I loved the first one and was excited for the sequel as soon as it was announced. Paranormal Activity was just a movie I heard about, getting rave reviews, "scariest movie of all time," so I figured I'd check it out. Uncharted 2 lived up to the hype for me because it's a great game, and this lame movie obviously didn't live up to any expectations in my mind.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't have high expectations for this movie because I don't ever have any expectations for 'horror' movies that come out these days. I didn't like the movie. At all. Why is it so hard to grasp? It didn't scare me, it did nothing for me. Some of the late night haunting scenes were cool, but that's really it. I didn't buy the actors like everyone else did because I felt like they were actors trying to act like real people like characters in most 'shakey camera' movies.

I've heard "THIS MOVIE IS SO SCARY" soooo many times before, and I've seen each of these films by taking what people say with a grain of salt, because I'm just not scared like normal people, I guess. I'm not trying to be macho or tough, and I'd be honest and say "this movie made me shit my pants out of fear" if it happened, but it doesn't happen.


I honestly don't see what the big fuss over my post is about. Where in my original post about the film did I say "I WAS EXPECTING THIS MOVIE TO BE AWESOME BECAUSE I HEARD IT WAS AWESOME AND IT SUCKED!!"? Oh that's right, I didn't. Must've struck a nerve somehwere else.

I didn't fucking like the movie, who gives a shit? Just because some people here pissed their pants in the theater, had their lives changed, had to turn the lights on and lost sleep doesn't mean that I have to feel that way. You think I give a fuck if someone says they HATE Uncharted 2? Give me a break.


And Stu, seriously, you really should stop trying so hard to be so scathing. Everyone understands that you're the insulting asshole of the boards, so you really don't need to go out of your way to do it anymore. Pump the fucking brakes once in a while.

It depends on taste, really. I think it was better than IV, but I liked V more than VI.

I know V isn't particularly popular, but there's just something about it I like.

Issued you an infraction for this post, simply because you directly insulted another forum member and ignored another moderator's instructions (Darkmoon's) to stop the arguing.

To everyone else too, knock it off.

As for the Saw films... bleh. I really don't know where it could go after Saw III. Every character we knew there pretty much had their story wrapped up. The only open-ended bit was the video tape but that was enough for me to put a lid on the series and say "Hey, that guy learnt his lesson". Anything after that, I think is just a cash cow and I really don't enjoy the level of depravity in the later films. (Being a female with long hair, seeing a woman get her hair/scalp torn from her head made me feel ill) and I just don't see the enjoyment factor in them. I know some people do, 'cause the guy I sit next to at work loves them, but I just find it sick. Same for the Hostel films, they just make me feel unable to eat for a few hours after watching them.

I watched Valkyrie a couple of days ago. It was a really great film and it shows you an insight into what they actually did in Nazi Germany and how brave they were. Really enjoyed it.

Watched Paranormal Activity last night. While I agree it wasn't what it was hyped up to be, it still was a decent "documentary" type movie. It wasn't over the top or less than zero but it was ok.

Watched this last week. Put it on because my son got excited when he saw the adverts, but i was quite surprised to find probably the best animated movie i've ever seen. Hilarious in parts, utterly heart wrenching in others. Just a brilliant film.

The Goods
Surpassed Role Models and I Love You, Man as my comedy of the year. I'm a big Will Ferrell and Adam McKay fan, ever since Anchorman (my favourite film of all time). The Goods starring (God-like genius) Jeremy Piven basically takes the Anchorman template and recycles it to great effect. Utterly hilarious, with a great supporting cast.

[Alexia_Ashford]

I think any Saw after 1 is a cash cow and not fond of them. Saw 1 was brilliant, really cleverly done and a really enjoyable watch. Anything after that was just unnecessarily sick (especially Saw 3). IMO, the first was cleverely crafted, well thought out and good, and after that it just seemed too similar to Hostel.

[Vogue_Dirge]

Really? I agree with what you say about Saw 1, but I also think that Saw 2 was pretty damn good. To me, those two are the best in the series and everything else is just really ridiculous. Now it just seems like they're making Saw movies for the cash, not the story plotline. To me, every movie after Saw 2 just made the storyline a complete mess.

:/

The main reason I like the movies are the traps and puzzles. It's fun to insert yourself in those situations. I find myself more and more thinking 'Yeah...I'd just let them die...' I mean, if they did free them from the trap they'd have some sort of gruesome injury such as a broken leg or gaping sucking chest wound. I would want to die after something like that xD

[Alexia_Ashford]

Yeah. It could have ended at Saw 1 and still been good. I don't think Saw 2 really had much impact on the plot and thought it was just a bit sick, though not as bad as the later ones. It wasn't as clever either.

[Borman]

Saw Paranormal Activity, honestly some of the worst acting Ive ever sat through in the theater. Many unfinished, underdeveloped plotpoints, none of which have anything to do with a non-existant budget. I had fun in the theater, but thats about it.

[GuardhouseMusic]

I don't understand what you mean about plot points being underdeveloped, and the acting to me didn't seem at all bad. Glad you had fun at the theater.

Really as I said, just the thought of it being a demon and not being able to predict how it'll manifest each night frightens me. The way it was ultimately executed was subtle and slow-burning and I don't think an ending will do it justice.

The Rage: Carrie part 2

Was, in no way, as good as the original. Hell, it wasn't even as good as the remake of the original that came out a few years later.

But, in all honesty, it could have been a good film.

It had the story (which was actually really great).

It had the budget! (the effects were actually great)

And the director made some really beautiful shots and overall amazing cinematography.

But, what made this movie so bad, was the acting...
The lead (Emily Bergl) was great. So was Amy Irving reprising Sue. They felt so real. Some other extras were good too. But, others were just plain ATROCIOUS. The boyfriend, the jocks, the rest of the teens. I mean, WTF? It's like they're reading a book to an infant. Jeeeeeesus Christ I wanted to punch SO many heads off watching the teens just say a WORD.

Hell, even all the other positives (in which there were MANY) couldn't save the movie. The acting was just... so... UGH.

:'( Potential ruined once again.

[Inferno04]

I was flipping through channels today while I was sick, and nothing was on but Dan in Real Life. I gave it a shot.

That movie wouldn't have been as nearly so bad if they didn't set up Dan as a bad guy when it came to his middle child's FUCKING STUPID INFATUATION. The annoying little idiotic brat of a daughter claims that she fell in love after three days, and the movie makes HIM look like the bad guy/moron?

I swear to god I literally 'rofled' at, "YOU ARE A MURDERER OF LOOOOOOVE!"

Oh, and Dane Cook was such a goody two shoes for the first half of the movie, it made me sick. xD The main female lead was just...an awkward character, she was jsut ODD somehow. Oo

All in all it wasn't a bad movie. Steve Carell hasn't EVER put in a bad performance from what I've seen. I just dunno if I could stomach watching it again after seeing exaggerated 14 year old angst that makes My Immortal(the fanfic) AND Twilight look like romantic classics.

I have to admit, the final voice over/monologue of the movie at the end was really REALY awesome.

I watched "They Live" a few days ago. It's a really cool, silly, ham-handed political sci-fi thriller. I can't believe "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.

Another great Carpenter entry. I always enjoy invasion/pod type stories because the idea that something can just overtake you and everything you know right under your nose disturbs me. Plus this one doesn't have as bleak of an ending, which is usually the only feasible way to end pod films.

How about that part where the golfer yells "FORE! FOOOORE!" aims for D-Fens and takes his shot, only for D-Fens to pull out a shotgun, yell "FIVE!" and blast the coot's cart. I think it's an interesting scenario that in a way everyone's out to get this dude, making such trivialities as 50 cents for a coke and fast food burger blow him up. Also, the direction expresses such a great sense of the sweltering heat.

Well, not in a negative way. More like in a "that movie as crazy, buy good" kind of way. I definitely noticed that, about the heat.

I don't know if some parts of the movie were meant to be comedic, but when he beat those two morons wanting a "toll" for him trespassing on their "territory", all I could do was laugh and feel good for him, because it's nice to see things like that happen. Don't know why, but it just is. Regular working-class guy takes out a bat and beats two gangbangers because he wouldn't let them sit down for five minutes and drink a Coke on their "piece of shit hill". Man.

And then the cops were almost completely baffled at what he was doing, for example, after the whole incident involving the overpriced Coke in the store, he didn't even take anything (except the bat), yet he pretty much ruined his store. I mean, how often does that happen? Still pays for his drink and takes nothing else?

In the end though, I thought it was a bit sad also. He just seemed very misunderstood by everyone around him, especially the cops.

[Beanovsky Durst]

is it as good as the first one?

Depends... Storywise is a bit bizarre, but innovative in the sense that it sets a new trend about zombies' origin (if it's virus or supernatural), it has pretty much what made the first one good (scares, the camera, ZOMBIES) and a few plot twists that will leave you jaw-dropped. ^_^

Among others, I just saw the horror film The Changeling, featuring renowned actor George C. Scott ("BUT THE BIG BOARD!"). I have to say the plot takes some, shit I don't want to say needless turns but I will say it probably looks better on paper. I mean, there's a conflict between two characters, and the fuckin' supernatural force is a macguffin! There are some incredible scares (for fans of SH/SH4, think of something rusty and squeaky chasing you ;P) but the priorities of the plot just take a hairpin turn.

Watched the Star Trek remake movie last night. It was interesting. Especially since it's an alternative reality timeline that so closely echoes the real timeline.

This movie almost seems like a Slasher 101 class project. Everything was on cue and played very safely, nothing very interesting or new.

But I am very curious about the new Halloween, Fangoria makes it sound very good.

Fangoria makes every slasher movie sound good because that's what they enjoy.

[GuardhouseMusic]

Yeah I've never associated good with Fango. There are great sites on the web (deadpit, shock 'till you drop, etc).

I agree about Friday the 13th's mediocrity. When it came out I probably saw it with rose-tinted glasses because it didn't "hurt" like Rob Zombie's Halloween did. Nonetheless it doesn't do anything. HOWEVER, there were a couple of film references I enjoyed and I was surprised to see.

Halloween II is a jumbled mess from what I've seen (perhaps the first 40 minutes, didn't want to see any more). Zombie tries to move it into more surreal territory and he falls flat on his face.

The Taking of Pelham 123 remake with Denzel and Travolta. Cool movie, both leads played their parts well, although I've come to expect more from Denzel's movies. Still a good movie overall, but nothing really special. I'd give it a 7/10.

I saw Paranormal Activity during the weekend (SPOILERS IN THIS POST). It was pretty rubbish until the last couple of nights during which shit gets creepy lol. It wasnt terrifying though. To be honest i think i was the only person in the cinema who was laughing at every one screaming haha. I will admit that the scene where she gets dragged out scared me a bit, possibly because i had a nightmare about the very same thing happening to me lol. I also found that the ending was very good and pretty scary, it really had me on the edge of my seat! over all id say that while its the scariest horror film ive seen in years it wasn't quite as terrifying as i was lead to believe.

EDIT - i must say that the actor who played the ghost expert was terrible! the worst acting ive seen in a cinema release for quite some time

Sounds like a shame...but I'll see it anyways.

Just bought Terminator Salvation, and I got to say, I really liked it. It's a new style of terminator, and a fresh take on the series (it is post judgement day after all, something I've wanted to see since the first). Although I have to say I still prefer Terminator, and The Sarah Conner Chronicles to it. But excellent in my opinion.

Also, I just watched...I think it's called The Ugly Truth. Don't remember, but it's a romantic comedy with Gerard Butler (who I actually like as an actor now, 300 just blew). And although I'm not big on the genre, I kinda liked it.

Just pre-ordered Inglorious Basterds on Blu-ray. Only $20 on amazon, a steal, or blu0ray is dropping in price. Either way it's good.

And as for Fangoria, I find that their cover films tend to be hit or miss. And some of the films they gush about I don't understand why. But they have steered me towards movies I've really enjoyed, like Repo! The Genetic Opera and others I can't remember (too many). Although I do have to say I've largely ignored the Twilight splurges. The first was a boring mess, and the second should just be retitled "shirtless men with pointy teeth".

Roman Polanski would like that title.

It was very informative and eye-opening, yes, but I didn't like how the camera would pan in parents' mourning for 5-10 minutes. I already felt sorry for them, deeply. A minute or two would have been appropriate, but damn, they felt the need to sit there and watch them for said time earlier.

That's my only gripe with it. What I'm really wondering is how the Chinese government is going to deal with the One Child Policy in 2010, as that was the stated year that they wanted to keep it too (at least, they also added), and then...who knows. Maybe a Two Child Policy. I wouldn't doubt it.

[himher_elle]

2012
Great, didn't bore me during the entire film, it's cool for a destruction movie

[MarkGrass]

...rented Terminator Salvation on PPV, last night. It's not the best in the series, IMO, but it was exactly what I had come to expect of it - a film of war. Overall, I liked it, though I think it wil be quite awhile before I rewatch it.

[Carnivol]

I heard some people talk of a Director's Cut, but I suspect it might just be the EU Theatrical Cut (although I heard someone speak of an alternate ending available on the DVD too). I kinda wanna check it out. I loved the "noise" the machines made, and coming straight from Red Faction: Guerrilla to the use of a fireman's axe in the movie was pretty awesome.



Anyway,
Just watched the anime movie "Summer Wars"
It's directed by the same person who did "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (which is quite possibly one of my top favorites amongst releases from this decade)

It was pretty nice in many ways.
Though...

I could've done without the furries amongst the main characters' avatars and the "rare item" scene was just totally out of place and way too flashy/overdone

[Zombie Fred]

Just finished watching "predator", seeing how I watch my classics around Christmas time, it's still has that little bit of magic. Will be watching Zombieland in a few too.

[nemesiswontdie]

Empire Records. I love this movie. I like the fact that they replaced weed with sugar.

[MarkGrass]

I heard some people talk of a Director's Cut, but I suspect it might just be the EU Theatrical Cut (although I heard someone speak of an alternate ending available on the DVD too). I kinda wanna check it out.

Nice... though, I wasn't aware that PAL regions recieved a different "cut". *investigates*


I loved the "noise" the machines made

I have to fully agree. Most specifically, I enjoyed watching/listening to the machine(s) at the 7-eleven. :)

[Stars1356]

Saw Doomsday late last night and actually enjoyed it. Story was lame but had good action and plenty of violence.

[nemesiswontdie]

Yeah I saw it in theaters. It's not bad but there's not at much violence as I figured there would be.

[Branden_Lucero]

Purple Rain. i haven't seen this movie over a decade.

[aris13]

Purple Rain. i haven't seen this movie over a decade.

I love the soundtrack.

[Branden_Lucero]

I love the soundtrack.

luckily i'm not the only one. >.<

[Branden_Lucero]

and i've also been catchin' Pee Wee's Big Adventure. another movie i haven't seen in such a long time.

[Humor Tumor]

I just watched Angels & Demons. And I gotta say, it didn't bore me like I thought it would; but I would not go out of my way to watch it again.

[aris13]

Angels and Demons was ok but the plot twist was predictable.

[aris13]

In The Loop

A political satire with great performances and a well written screenplay. Highly recommended for fans of the UK version of The Office and British humor in
general.

[Cuz7ate9:(]

Anybody seen The Descent Part 2? It's always on very late at night.

[Sephiroth]

Zelda The Hero of Time

Just to clear the fact some fact's this is a full length Independent Movie and it was made by BMB Finishes it's plot is The Ocarina of Time but there are acupple of things that were changed and rushed but nothing to go all crazy about considering the fact this is a Independent Movie the Actors were also just as good but the one's who really stood out from the rest were Hannah Fierman (Princess Zelda) and Adam Boyer (Ganondarf) they both played there charaters pritty well im not say the rest of the cast were crap they were good but just did not stand out but to me this film is good it's good I've waited over 3 years to see this film and I was not disopointed 89%

Do I reckonmend this film to anyone yes if you are Zelda fan or an Independent Movie film maker or fan aswell just to see how theres people have ben able to pulled off and knowing how hard it is to make it's quiet amazeing.

[Cuz7ate9:(]

Picked up the four Karate Kid films today, starring the late gr8 Pat Morita.

[Bertha]

Sherlock Holmes. Fucking amazing. RDJ and Law are completely awesome.

[Trent]

Glad you enjoyed it, Rosetta. Thinking to check it out myself.

Just saw classic Scarface (1983) again. Strong film.

[TheSelfishGene]

I caught Bad Santa on TV last night. I'd never seen it before. I thought it quite good.

My brother got me a DVD for Christmas, of a film called 'Hercules Returns'. Here's the summary from wiki...


Film buff Brad, quits his job and decides to set up and re-open the Picture Palace, a disused cinema, to show classic old films in the old-fashioned style. As a gimmick he chooses the last picture that the cinema featured, Hercules, Samson and Ulysses. When the print arrives at the grand gala opening it is in unsubtitled Italian. This calls for desperate measures and Brad, his projectionist Sprocket and his publicist Lisa are forced to improvise voice overs for the entire film with hilarious results.

It was a bit juvenile in places, but I must admit it had me laughing in fits.

[Ray]

Avatar- ...Holy fuck WOW.

[Canas Renvall]

Saw Sherlock Holmes, and I must say... Ahem..

[heavily overdone, posh British accent]Quite elementary, if I do say so myself.[/accent]

Translation: Really good. :P

[cerberes]

Watched Ice Age 3. Main reason i did was that i didn't wanna use my brain. To much work lately so enjoyed the simple humor:lol:

[himher_elle]

Avatar (3D)
It was much better than I thought it would be, it actually was... great!!! as good as he (Cameron) sed it would be

[jagger916]

Sherlock Holmes. Fucking amazing. RDJ and Law are completely awesome.

Good. I've been looking for a reason to go to the movies lately. And I love me some RDJ.

[Corrin]

I was forced to see Avatar with a friend a few days back. It was as shitty and gay as I knew it would be. I was, however surprised at the amount of furry nudity and strong language in a PG-13 movie that's marketed towards kids.

[Stars1356]

Saw Avatar the other night and thought it was a good movie. Predictable but one of the better movies I have seen in a while. Also my parents were raving about Sherlock Holmes so I will probably see that soon.

[aris13]

The Hurt Locker

A nearly flawless film that tells the story of a little over a month in the lives of 3 soldiers in Iraq. The best war film since Private Ryan and hands down one of the best of the year, I totally reccomend it.

[GuardhouseMusic]

"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" "I Love You Alice B. Toklas" and "Body Double"

The one I'd like to speak about the most is the third, by Brian De Palma, probably because it ties in more than the others with movies I enjoy. I'm sure a bunch of people here have seen it (I'm looking at you, aris!) along with De Palma's other movies and I wouldn't mind hearing their opinions. Did anyone else think there were certain aspects of the plot (the RELAX scene, the hostile police, lack of a resolution, unaffected characters) that were presented just to get a negative reaction out of the audience? Looking at the director's track record of films panned for being transgressive or controversial, I wonder if he fancies himself a manipulator. It was damn effective, but I couldn't help but find certain plot elements frustrating (and then I realized that the plot goes anywhere it damn pleases anyway).

[aris13]

People consider Body Double a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Rear Window, most of the plot and specific shots are taken directly from these two films and references to other Hitchcock's films are all over the place. Personally I like this movie a lot because I see it as a tribute film to Alfred Hichcock.


Did anyone else think there were certain aspects of the plot (the RELAX scene, the hostile police, lack of a resolution, unaffected characters) that were presented just to get a negative reaction out of the audience?

Personally none of the scenes made me feel uncomfortable. The RELAX scene was put there probably for promotion, I think that the song was released before or after the films release. Also the climax of that scene reveals a topless Melanie Griffith.....that looks like Billy Idol.:p

As for the hostile police, well that's another Hichcock reference, remember Psycho?

[YamiYumes]

I recently saw Sherlock Holmes, and I must say I quite enjoyed it. That one's definitely going on my buy list when it comes out on DVD :3

[Stars1356]

Saw Mr. Brooks a few hours ago and thought it was an average movie. There was no real climate in the movie and it just seemed like it took from other movies but never really connected anything. Kevin Costner was the only thing that was good in the movie which was expected.

[rewak]

I recently saw the news they're planning to remake The Crow and also Yellow Submarine. It's officially gone too far now.

I also recently saw Terminator Salvation, it was better than i was expecting and it was cool to finally see the war. It got a little stupid at times like with with military douchebags all up in Connors face (isn't he LEADING the resistance, or did they ditch that big huge part of the story?) and the motorcycle Terminators coming out of the giant Terminators legs, what is this Transformers?. It wasn't as bad as T3 was though. Also the noises the machines made were brilliant, really cool. I hope the next Terminator thing we see is something to tie up TSCC, seriously that was a brilliant cliffhanger to end on but it needs to be completed. The rights to the series were being auctioned off so hopefully whoever has them now will do something about that.

[Canas Renvall]

It wasn't as bad as T3 was though.
T3 wasn't bad. I don't know why people hate it so much... Unless people had ridiculously high expectations for it after the masterpiece of T2, which just wasn't gonna happen. It's a good movie, though.

So is Terminator: Salvation. :P

[rewak]

The thing that kinda ruined T3 for me really was the many cheesy moments, it's a good movie but they just dragged it way down.

[Vector]

My grandma got me the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie collection for Christmas...all four TMNT movies in one package. It's honestly one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. I just watched the original movie(the one that released in 1990, when I was a one year old baby), and I haven't stopped bugging out yet. Haven't seen this movie in well over 10 years. I watched these movies an unhealthy amount of times when I was a really little kid...what a fucking great movie, even now after all this time. Elias Koteas kicks sooo much ass as Casey Jones. Raph's always been my favorite, though.

I was OBSESSED with the Turtles as a kid. I will have you know...my first word as a baby was 'turtle.' No joke. What a fuckin' trip, watching this movie. The Secret of The Ooze was always my favorite, though. I can't wait to watch it. I fully plan on watching The Secret of The Ooze tomorrow.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

After watching the firefly series I decided to re-watch serenity and it's still as awsome as the first time I watched it except this time some of the death scenes were twice as sad for me to watch. It's a shame the series is so short because I would love to see more of mal and the crew on serenity

[GuardhouseMusic]

I just saw Paranormal Activity for the second time in full. I say in full, because when I popped in the DVD for a solitary viewing I couldn't watch it after 20 minutes, it still works (had to watch it with my dad). As a matter of fact, alone at home is probably the ideal setting, seeing as your imagination is made active by this flick; any noise will be scary.

[YamiYumes]

T3 wasn't bad. I don't know why people hate it so much... Unless people had ridiculously high expectations for it after the masterpiece of T2, which just wasn't gonna happen. It's a good movie, though.

So is Terminator: Salvation. :P

Most Terminator fans (myself included) just pretend that anything after T2 didn't happen, since that was supposed to be the end of the series...or that's what I read somewhere at any rate. The third movie just pretty much took everything that poor John had tried to accomplish in 2 and shat all over it.

Quite disappointing, I thought. Especially when we find out that John's turned into a whining adult instead of a prospective resistance leader.

[Stars1356]

Saw Sherlock Holmes last night and it was amazing. Not a dull moment. Robert Dowey Jr. and Jude Law were excellent. Think I will pick in up when it comes out on DVD. Going to see Daybreakers later tonight.

[Agent_Wong]

I've watched quite a few films the last couple weeks on my xbox. Blood, The Last Vampire...Star Trek...Inglorious Basterds...and a couple others that, for the life of me I can't remember. But anyway, all of them were really nice films.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Saw Ice Age 3 and was surprised to see how hilarious it was! a lot better than the second film which was a big relief :)

[Karui]

I saw Silent Hill. Pretty good for a game based movie.

[Stars1356]

Saw Daybreakers and thought it was an ok movie. Nothing special but after I saw the movie I realized how ridiculous some of the plot was in the movie

I mean the way that Willem Dafoe's character turns back to a human just makes no sense. o_o

[REmaster]

Yea, the subsiders were awesome though and I think everyone did a good job. Gory as all hell, funny, scary, and a pretty good plot (except for the part mentioned above, but whatever).

[Ray]

Zombieland. Shit was funny!

OMFG, Little Rock was so awesome! asdfghjkl Bill Murray!!!:) Columbus, :D oh asdfghjklkjhgfdsawewqtr.

[GuardhouseMusic]

John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. Honestly one of the most intriguing premises for a horror flick, and because we have a director like this, it's executed well. I think the pace makes for effective filmmaking, all of these creepy and disgusting changes happening slowly and then all bets are off, a nice slow-burn. Now it's not without its flaws. Dennis Dun (from Big Trouble in Little China, along with Victor Wong) had some great lines but his delivery was shit. There was one college student who doesn't seem to serve a purpose at all yet he snuffs it damn late. Donald Pleasance plays a priest called Loomis, who has a few similarities to the character of the same name throughout Halloween.

This was such an enjoyable watch though.

EDIT to avoid double posting (1/16): I just saw a Francois Truffaut film for the first time, this one called Mississippi Mermaid. To give a description without talking too much about the plot it's about two lovers and things between them being not as they seem. I guess you could call it a romance thriller, and I must say they pulled off both aesthetics well. The plot had my undivided attention and I was waiting for each minute to unfold, and the romance scenes between the two leads were intense. I enjoy the way Truffaut shoots the locations, and he sure knows how to choose them.

[Stars1356]

Saw Legion last night and it was better than I expected. Kinda guessed what role the two characters in the movie would play at the end but otherwise an enjoyable story.

[GuardhouseMusic]

The Eraser starring Ahnuld, Vanessa Williams, and James Caan (those eyebrows!o.o). A well shot and paced film with some questionable dialogue and plot progression. Nonetheless it was a fun movie to watch.

Also saw Ingmar Bergman's Through a Glass, Darkly. Okay, it seems he enjoys writing about artists. This is the second film of his I've seen, and so far I like Hour of the Wolf more. The characterization was top notch from paper to screen but there's something empty about it for me. I didn't care about anyone until perhaps the last 10 minutes.

[Lin]

Watched Avatar and well it was good.....not much to say XD

[GuardhouseMusic]

I ought to catch that one before it goes out. I've heard a lot of terrible things about the plot but other people responder to that along the lines of "eh, it's still impressively done." I did hear good things about Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang though (from diff. sources).

[Humor Tumor]

I just watched Gamer and Pandorum. All in all decent films. I enjoyed Pandorum much more though.

[aris13]

I did hear good things about Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang though (from diff. sources).

Both of them were decent, Zoe Saldana holds the best performance in the movie. At least for me.

[kiedistidus]

I wasnt too impressed with avatar even in 3d the visuals didnt blow me away, it definetly got better in the last hour and a half but i nearly fell asleep before that!! I was happy to see sigourney weaver but i thought most of the performances where average for a cameron film.

[Karui]

Got done watching 28 weeks later again. This movie is scary as hell. o.o

[kiedistidus]

Got done watching 28 weeks later again. This movie is scary as hell. o.o

[aris13]

Invictus.

Boring as hell, crappy script and two decent performances. I can't believe that Clint Eastwood directed this one.

[Acintris]

I tend to watched horror movies which are underground. Last one I watched was, "Penny Dreadful" from 9 movies to die for something like that.

The Silent Hill movie was better based than the R.E. movies which are absolute failures, in my opinion. :\

[DXP]

Last film I went to see was avatar in 3d, films i've watched recently are:

*day of the dead remake(total utter crap)
*Gamer(wasn't to bad)
*Jennifers Body(Kinda mixed on that one)
*Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D (fantastic)

[aris13]

Up In The Air

Good mix of comedy and drama with great performances.

[DarkMemories]

Finally saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Underrated, in my opinion. It's not the best Jones movie, and some of the CG looks pathetically fake, but it's not as bad as people made it out to be.

8/10.

[Ray]

Resident Evil (2002)- Ooooh, I liked it. Many will disagree, but I liked it a lot. Sure, it was mainly gun-toting entertainment, but it did hint at some really good plot points. Too bad the sequels are just full blown entertainment (I mean, I like that, but story's good when spiced here and there).

[Lilith]

The last movie I saw in theaters was Avatar in 3D. While I didn't much care for the 3D part, I loved the movie! 9/10

Movies I've watched on TV lets see:
Appaloosa - Good for a new western. Just take Renee Zellweger out of it. 7/10
Twilight - Complete and Utter SHIT. I laughed my ass off! -100/10
That's about it...I don't watch much TV anymore. :P

[Inferno04]

Avatar and Legion.

Oh good god the angels were so hot...><

I actually can't say which I prefer of the two.

[kiedistidus]

Watched the big lebowski again lastnight I forgot how great the opening scene is when sam elliot is narrating,absolutely brill.I'll have to see more of the coens earlier stuff like blood simple, I watched barton fink years ago, another classic!!

[GuardhouseMusic]

Watched the big lebowski again lastnight I forgot how great the opening scene is when sam elliot is narrating,absolutely brill.I'll have to see more of the coens earlier stuff like blood simple, I watched barton fink years ago, another classic!!

Same here, the Coen Brothers are uncharted territory for me. Still haven't seen Raising Arizona or Fargo or others.

Just saw Akira Kurosawa's High and Low. I'm taking a class on the history and style of Japanese films, and despite the professor excluding Kurosawa from the syllabus there's enough of his stuff available for instant viewing on netflix. Unlike the other movies of his I've seen which were period dramas, this one was contemporary (at least when it came out). Nonetheless it had the same parable like presentation of the narrative and characterizations. Plus I was surprised to see some almost surreal touches in a couple of scenes.

[aris13]

Watched the big lebowski again lastnight I forgot how great the opening scene is when sam elliot is narrating,absolutely brill.I'll have to see more of the coens earlier stuff like blood simple.

The scene where the dude pays for a carton of milk with a cheque is just brilliant.:lol:

Blood Simple is a must watch for Coens fans. You will notice that some themes from this film were passed on to their next projects (especially Fargo and The Big Lebowski).


Same here, the Coen Brothers are uncharted territory for me. Still haven't seen Raising Arizona or Fargo or others.


IMO the Coens are the best filmakers alive and guardhouse you have to see Fargo. It's like No Country For Old men but way funnier.

[jagger916]

Just watched Inglorious Bastards. Great movie.

[kiedistidus]

yeah ive seen fargo and raising arizona but that was quite some time ago so i think ill have to invest in some classic coens.

The carton of milk scene is great but elliots narration tops it off.... "sometimes theres a man and i wont say a hero cos whats a hero but sometimes theres a man" and the whole high in the running for laziest worldwide bit lol

My dad has always been an avid coens fan,certain films he's not too fond of(intolerable cruelty and any where it seems to be more of studio pressured film)

As for me they've definetly become one of my all time favourites over the last few years.
Off the top of my head I've seen fargo,raising arizona,brother where art thou,the big lebowski,no country for old men,barton fink,burn after reading and probably one or two more I cant remember right now but I've not once walk away from a coens film thinking "that was shite"

[himher_elle]

- Broke back Mountaine: a nice story, but I didn't like the ending, not the fact that one of them dyes, but the ending ENDING, I didn't understand it very much. 7/10
- Land of the lost: bad movie, but there was two or three really funny scenes. 2/10
- My Sister’s Keeper: it was better than what I expected, the ending was predictable but still as good as intended. 8/10
- City of angels: are we suposed to believe Nicolas cage is actually hot?? because he's not! I didn't like it, the actors didn't make it believable, though I still LOVE megg Ryan, she had the PERFECT woman's body, now she's all skiny and strange (and it's not her age). It was so boring I had to watch it in 4 days, I watched half an hour of the movie and got bored. 4/10
- The Invention of Lying: had a good laugh with it, well done, though some scenes don't fit in the movies universe. 7/10
- (500) Days of Summer: BEAUTIFULL!!!! it was great, really lifted me up from a down time I was having, it is really great. 10/10

[WeskerIncarnate]

The Hurt Locker.

I teared up. I really did.

[Ray]

The Time Traveler's Wife- I first expected a cliché love story that was overtly sappy. What I got instead was a love story, overtly sappy, but not at all clichéd. Excellently written and executed.

[Stars1356]

Watched the Simpsons movie and thought it was ok. The show has not been funny for years and this movie continued the trend.

[Karui]

I got done watching Silent Hill again. I love it. It's way better than what RE did, it captured the atmosphere and even included the beautiful music. It even managed to give me the creeps from time to time. Seeing that girl get burned was sad. I give this movie 9/10

[Ray]

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (or some shit)- Dear Christ... ugh. I mean, it wasn't EXTREMELY terrible, but the movie would've been awesome if none of the characters talked. I mean, the dialogue was just exponentially TERRIBLE. I like the little nods towards the games, though, like Chun-Li's hair in the beginning. :D

[aris13]

The Road

Outstanding adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel.

[Ghostface]

Scream 3:Had some funny parts to it, but was racist to black people in a way. You'll understand if you've seen it. 7/10

The last couple of films by Richard Kelly have been very dissapointing.:(

Saw The Road last night.

That was quite the story. Was a bit shitty watching it in the cinema, though. A lot of people didn't like the mood of the movie and desperately tried to suppress any and all emotional reaction they had to it.

Saw VI- In my opinion, a vast improvement from IV and V. I just wished they ended it with III, though.

Expect a remake in 3 years.

[Mr. Ashford]

Recently saw Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rebecca'. Granted, it was just for my media class, but it was still an excellent film. Honestly, the twist that was thrown at me is something I should have expected, but still blew me away when I saw it. I actually had a lot of fun watching this film.

[nemesiswontdie]

I just watched I Love You, Man. I love this movie. One of my favorites now. Paul Rudd is fucking great.

[Ray]

I just re-watched the Feast Trilogy. Ha, funny how the series progressed from the first one. The first was really dark humour and such, and then the sequels were just plain slapstick you-shouldn't-expect-anything kind of humour. Too bad Honey Pie met her demise in the third movie, I really liked her. Who knows, if they make a fourth, she'll probably be alive! Who knows what's going to happen?

And to anybody who has seen these movies, can somebody explain to me why that car flew out of nowhere from the sky in the second movie? I'm assuming it was the robot from the end of the third, but it just came out of nowhere and landed in the street... huh...

:D

[GuardhouseMusic]

I just watched I Love You, Man. I love this movie. One of my favorites now. Paul Rudd is fucking great.

I'll bet they decided to do a movie starring Segel and Rudd after their scenes in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Some funny shit came from the Kunu scenes.

I'm wondering about Jonah Hill in another starring role, Get Him to the Greek seems like a good premise and Russel Brand rarely fails. I wouldn't mind seeing it at all.

[cerberes]

Day of Wrath. Got this movie for only 1,99 and i have to say it was entertaining.

Ruy de Mendoza (Christopher Lambert), a rugged yet honest sheriff of a 16th century Spanish provincial city, discovers a series of brutal and perplexing murders of high-ranking nobles. These prominent people and their bodyguards are slaughtered with unusual violence, large letters are gruesomely carved on their chest with a knife. Before Mendoza can confirm with the widows the identity of the victims, the butchered bodies vanish without a trace and the crime scenes are cleaned spotless.

As the murders continue, so does Ruy's fierce determination to unearth the truth. Following the clues he finds on the victims' bodies, including a suspicious old scroll with a list o f puzzling names and a set of old rusty keys wrapped in precious velvet, Ruy seeks in the victims' past for the keys to this baffling mystery. But as he gets deeper into this mystery, things start getting dangerous.

Coco Avant Chanel

I really expected this to be a girly/fashionista movie (Chanel, and all that shit), but it wasn't. Though it wasn't the greatest movie all around, it had some really great scenes (particularly the end when Gabrielle walks towards the site of a crash, and the way her face slowly changes emotion is just so damn heartbreaking).

[aris13]

A second Coco Chanel movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1023441/) was released this year if you're interested.

Went to see Alice in Wonderland, in costume, with a bunch of friends...hey, our costumes got us to the front of the line for seats. xD

As for the movie...It, just like Avatar, bugs me more as I think about it more. I liked them both just fine in the moment but as I think about them more with my 'critic' side...Anyway, um...It ended up being a Narnia/LotR ripoff.
