Post your thoughts about movies you've seen. I'd rather see more recent movie reviews in here but thats just me, and who listens to me...i'm quite a common movie goer being that i get to for free so i should be able to tell you how the newer once are..

Yesterday i saw A History Of Violence. don't see it. there were like two good ass-whoopings but thats all they were, not even challenged fights these guys just owned the other people...i had expected more from Viggo Mortensen but of course that is just because of LOTR

Also saw Wallace and Gromit recently, which lives up to its predecessors but probably only because i wanted more really badly. It definitely was a good movie, but probably only a one timer for the theater if you're paying. i dono, i'm not good at this..but i liked it.

I plan on seeing Wallace and Gromit.  I'm not a movie goer, $10... so I tend to only see what are supposed to be the “better movies”… IMHO, there aren’t many… :(  

Last movie I saw was Waiting (if you don't count HBO.)  Movie had no story line, but if you are a teenager, then it is hilarious.

You will get scarred for life in one part though.

all the wallace and grommit props and characters got burned last week in a warehouse fire


havent been to the cinema for ages but i think the last film i saw was...the island, not bad, made better by scarlet johanson

batman begins though is top notch, if you see it on DVD get your wallet out there and then

I must say, Batman Begins was the best summer movie, then Wedding Crashers, then Red Eye.

i agree with batman begins, and probably would for the Island but i was in montana when it came out and it didn't last long...so i haven't seen it yet

charlie and the chocolate factory freaked me out, the whole clones in tight latex thing...was wrong. plus johnny dep doing a michael jackson impression

Wallace and Gromit was great, just came back from it, definatly worth a see.

Do not even bother renting Triple X: State of the Union.  I rented it yesterday and now I'm considering burning my eyes out with cigarettes.  

 :o I didn't know that!! That's so sad!!

on that note, I also liked Batman Begins

I just saw Serenity last Friday- it was very funny, but rather weird at times.  My friend said that there's a background story, and I think it might help to read that before seeing the movie.  Still, it's worth it.  ;)  

what I want to see again is The Count of Monte Cristo, the only movie that I know of that was much much much better then the book :P
well, I might come up with some others, but that's thinking :hehe:  

Revolver and Night Watch are both worth seeing. The latter is in Russian with subtitles, so don't bother if you hate subs, but they're both very good.

theres atleast 2 films called nightwatch and one called death watch i always get confused by which is which

Pearl Harbor wasn't as good as I expected..

Fight Club was awesome!!! now i'm gonna read the book

did anybody like the new willy wonka? i thought it looked incredibly bad but i loved it.

Fight Club.. ugh...

Fight Club...awesome!

That movie was so random at the end... I still haven't figured out whether the guy's 'evil' side took him over completely or whether he was able to 'kill' his evil side.  

Revolver is a bit like Fight Club. With the killing and the paranoia and the multiple personality disorder, anyway.

Interesting, the assassin looks like the BBCs political correspondent. Conspiracy theories abound.

Blade Trinity was awesome...wasn't even interested in the blade movies, but i saw this one and i mean, it wasn't much special really but i loved the comic relief

no no no no no, blade trinity was aweful, it had 2 good fight scenes but no story line what so ever

its only worsened by things like dare devil.

fight club is a classic film

charlie and the choco factory was scary (already done that one by the way)

It's a movie spin-off of a failed TV show (called Firefly, I think).

I haven't seen either, but you're the third person to say the film was good, so that's a good sign...

What you talkin about mole? Daredevil was great. :hmmm:  

*claws head and opens the search section*

previous daredevil thread (http://www.bpsite.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=1489)

That was basically you and Perdition spamming about how un-hot the chick was. Personally, I think the movie was great, and nothing you say will change my mind!

that wasnt spamming it was the voice of open opinion (a voice you are not allowed in this matter)



heh i actually missed the nt of wasnt there  :rolleyes:  

how bout all these video game movies coming out? Doom comes out soon, and they are making a halo movie... :/  

Of course, they are going to make millions off of it..

Game makers; those pimps.  Pimping their games onto the silver screen like bitches. :devil:
Sorry Mole, I’m not talking about furries ;)  

they're making doom??? ugh.... but i'd watch halo

i think you got that mixed up.

can't say I do

I might see them ;)
lets just say, I'm not going to pay $10 each <_<  

Peter Jackson is the director of the Halo movie, so it promises to be fairly decent.  I'll watch it for sure.  

Saladin, you ever to the site http://halomovieonline.com/ (http://halomovieonline.com/)?  It's a pretty all-around decent Halo forum... kicks the Bungie forums all to hell.  

I would much rather watch Doom than Halo.

Doom movie will probably be an Alien-like thing but not as good.
Halo was practically a movie anyway, and not a particularly great one.

They should make a Duke Nukem movie. :D

hell yea :D  

What the crap?  You diss Halo and then promote Duke Nukem?  

*notices the joint that SS is trying unsuccessfully to hide behind his back*

Ah.  Never mind then.  

Um, yes.

Any sane person who's played them both will agree entirely.

i've played them both and i pick halo over duke nuke, and i'm perfectly sane, maybe you should've said it the other way around

Just saw Doom today, really was interesting.

BFG!

hmmm bit old for the BFG now but it aint a bad film

 :P  

i thought it was hilarious...he walks into the room with the BFG and its like a love scene...

The gun is called like.. Bio F(something) G(something), scientific name, which they abbreviated to BFG. And yeah... he's like about ready to have sex with the gun based on the music in the background.

What are you talking about?
BFG=Big Fucking Gun
as far as I know

Lets see what Wiki has to say about this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG)

yea, for some reason everyone seems to know that...even my parents

That was the joke behind it.... They purposely put BFG to mean Bio whatever, because it really was a Big Fuckin Gun.

Just go see the movie..

everyone see "Serenity" great movie

I didn't really understand the story line.. just confused me a lot.

yeah a lot of it was based on the TV show Firefly which i haven't seen , but i picked it up quickly

i've heard it was extremely awesome. i've heard it was extremely crappy.

 :unsure:  

the latter is crap, listen to the former

The Boondock Saints.  :hmmm:  

what about it?

one of the best movies.

whats it about?

dude just watch it....you won't regret it

otherwise look it up on imdb i am too lazy, but it is a great movie

just did, it got a pretty good rating, i'll give it a shot

Boondock Saints was, at least IMO, an incredible waste of time; only the last 10 minutes had any value whatsoever.  <_<  

 :notify:  :mp5:  :devil:  wash your mouth out boy

hmm... i think i seen like 3 movies with the same plot

I just watched Hidalgo last night...not the greatest, but i wasn't expecting much either...so meh. saw The Terminal recently, had wanted to see it for awhile. it was pretty good, not what i expected but still good. i am a sap as i've said before, so the end bummed me out  :P  i recommend it though :)  

I just watched 13 Ghosts. Movie could have been better, but I actually liked it.

The Interpreter just plain sucked.

Saw II was amazing!!! much better than the first. we need a Jigsaw emote

odd, I just had a convo about that movie...

i agree, there were a few scenes which could cause someone to puke and/or soil themselves

a WoW movie, now that would be sweet



zug zug

Interpreter rocked poiley.

WoW movie would be badass

/droooooooool

Though the Doom movie looked bad, so how good could a movie based on a game be...  :miffed:  

it would need hella CGI

they're all bound to be crap, that's my say :hmmm:

Super Mario Bro's was the worst one, possibly of all time

for high comedy though check out this title http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518/)  and its not a porno

finally got around to seeing the bourne supremacy...excellent.

The books are so much better, of course that's the way with everything

RAWR!!!!!!!! Harry Potter is coming out so soon.. I'm a geek :( :unsure:

PS- I'm going to see Jarhead tomorrow; any thoughts on that? :sheep:  

there is an employee showing hte night before it comes out...but i can't go :(

heard both ways on jarhead...usually do :/

the premire in NYC is on Saturday, I might head down to see the actors, obviously can't see it, but i get to hopefully see Emma Watson and that hot Asian chick

Jarhead was good.  It was more artistic and focused on the thoughts and emotions of those who enter into the Marines.  It was odd that there was more sex than violence.

yay Harry Potter btw.

Serenity was brilliant, but I pity anyone who went to see it without knowing anything bout Firefly.

coincidentally enough, a friend of mine just gave me a CD of Firefly...
chance is a funny thing

i didn't but i picked up on it fairly quickly, i have to get the boxed set tho

bump

interesting new movie, Brokeback Mountain a romance betwixt two men, I hope it does well but I'm not crossing my fingers of it fostering meaningful debate



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/)

I'M SEEING HARRY POTTER AT MIDNIGHT!!! :)  :)  :)  

I hate you <_<
I got to see Wallis and Grommet ... :sheep:
:cry:

*gasp*  Coooooooooool!  How was it?!?  :o  :)  

saw wallace and gromit awhile back..excellent, love the originals :)

saw harry potter last night/this morning. didn't make it to the employee showing which entails little bragging rights, but i saw it at midnight and it was pretty good. meh

mad good, really condensed but better than the rest, which isn't saying much cuz the first two sucked

i agree, but its still cheesy as ever :/

man that last scene was hilarious. if any of you are star trek fans, harry reminded me of data in that last scene.

'yes...it is'

hmmm...that's strange.  I thought the first two were ok and the third one sucked.  oh well.

phantom thoughts, from the abyss  :blink:
 :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  

my main problem was that Voldemort wasn't that creepy especially with that pseudo-whisper voice although his lack of a nose was creepy but i thought the comedy and romance scenes came off mostly naturally and not stilted as in the other films

i hated how the maze was pretty much just moving bushes..no monsters or anything, what the heck...

I think it would be awesome if they had Master Piece Theater style production.  That way they could have the "movie" several hours long and have all sorts of really cool stuff.
Never mind money, time and effort
 LOL  

yeah that was pretty gay, i wanted to see that giant spider and the sphinx, i also wish they'd actually had shown the Quidditch World Cup, maybe it'll be on the DVD...

hopefully

movie=craptastic

WHY DID THEY MAKE A 700+ PAGE BOOK LESS THAN TWO AND A FRICKIN HALF HOURS LONG?!?!?!?! :angry:

either that or split it into two movies

another thing:  why did they turn the world cup camp into a nuclear battlefield of death? :huh:  that was just bad :hmmm:

well i can understand that, it didn't bother me as much as other things. they definitely could have cut some of that crap in the bathroom with myrtle and put the time towards better footage..

I got to see the new Harry Potter movie! Yay!
agreed :hmmm:

I think there was some good acting in there, especially Hermione.  The parts I'm thinking of is the beginning of the tournament and the ball (the end of mostly)

there was good acting, yes.  I just don't like the stuff they had to act out  

i've finally decided my main complaint. the movie was pretty much about one thing: the triwizard tournament. it neglected alll the other things like S.P.E.W. and Fred & George's antics which were a big part of the book...

Not sure if it's a spoiler, but read at your own risk.

bleh... all the Harry Potter fans are disappointed, and all the people who neglect to read the books are confused and they don't know what's going on.  This movie sucked.  It went too fast, and they basically ruined the perception of the book.  It's so much more indepth than what they portray it as.  LIke the whole story of the Crouch's, and what happens after Voldemort comes back such as the Minister thinks Harry Potter is speaking poppycock about Voldemort coming back.

and they leave out bagman...how hard is it to put him in? :blink:  heh

Fred and George do get to have some fun this movie
Fred and George also make a single reference to S.P.E.W. ;)

I still have to read the new book, but here I am thinking that I should read the old books as well.  I want to... but I wonder if I'll ever find that sort of time... :(  

yeah.  some of it was good, but most of it was rushed and didn't serve the purpose :hmmm:

the death eaters looked pretty scare, though.  KKK people with black robes and skull masks :blink:

Yeah I was pretty pissed that they didn't have Fudge acting like a fool, that would've set up movie 5 well as it was meant to in the book. They also skipped way over the Crouch's

yeah, they only showed fudge once at the world cup, that sucks :(*

OKAY SMI....  I can't believe you read the books out of order.  You messed up the chronology if of it all. :(

I've read ALL of them, just not the newest one!!
I meant that i wanted to REread the older ones

i didnt think spew appreared in that book.

bassically quite your winging, everyone whos ever read a book and watched the movie to it felt the movie lived it down, but of course it did your seeing the book from someone elses eyes and in a limited time  

mole wins. Films of books seldom capture the true depth of it. LoTR worked because a lot of LoTR in print is totally and utterly irrelevant. When a book is long, and all of it is relevant, you can't do a film of it. Yet they try with HP, because money is shiny and the hollywood crows likes the shinies.

Why don't they just split long books into two movies?  :miffed:  

that would just piss me off :P

thats when she started it...

because they want a good place to end, and because the book is already designed to end there, it becomes a natural choice.  

aeon flux = alright...not so great, but meh. some funny cheesy parts

Then you would have to pay $18.00 to see the whole thing.

only 16 here :P

Movie prices at the nice places are at $21 [edit] for TWO[/edit]  :unsure:
well... at full price...
$23 if you get it on fandango [edit] also for two[/edit] :(

2 tickets for the price of one on wednesdays and with student discounts its a good day...if you have someone to go with  :(  

 :(

on another note:
They demolitioned the cheap theater!!
Now there's only the 'chearer' theater.  This old rundown place where the prices aren't all that better then te pricey places.
Why did they demo the cinema saver?! Damn you albertsons, damn you.  You already have one across the street, you don't need another one RIGHT there!

they did that here too awhile back, got rid of the theater that cost $1 on tuesdays...mind you it would probably be showing star wars III right around now :P but still cheap

Awww, invite me! :P

:wub:  

oh this is too easy....my german teacher is giving us extra credit if we go see Munich when it comes out.  LOL  LOL  its like buying extra credit, only i get it for free! i was already considering the movie, it looks interesting

narnia in 3 days! :)  

as long as you dont lift the arm rest :unsure:  

ROFLMAO
I go for the semi-reclining chairs myself :P  

hehe its a big thing out here about that. you go to my theater if you're going with friends, our armrests don't raise. you go to the carmike if you're on a date :P, their's do. but they're way pricier

we dont have reclining chairs but each screening has rows that are steep enough so you can see over just about anyones head, all the armrests can fold completely back

sounds like a voyuer's paradise

nah not unless your standing up then its a bit obvious

Narnia was...awesome!

Meh... it was ok... I really liked the Queen though.   :D  

...i didn't LOL  

Date Movie coming out Friday...hopefully i'll make it to that this weekend, if i can convince someone to go with.
not much has happened in the ways of movies lately...some some crappy ones, saw some good ones.

anyone?

I don't go to the movies much... :(
so no, nothing :unsure:  

spent around 50 hours on a bus in thel ast 9 days so we got a fair few movies watched, so ill just reel off what i can rememeber

wallace and gromit; curse of the were-rabbit > just as youd expect it to be , good
coach carter > good, bit predictable toward the end but it was a good end
along came polly > romantic comedys arent my thing but it wasnt the end of the world
narnia > would have been a lot better had lord of the rings not been made into a film, needed to be longer and i was annoyed by the end but in all not to bad
fantastic four > only wanted to see jessica alba anyway so it doesnt really matter that i missed the end of it but it looked quite good from what i saw
charlie and the chocolate factory > just as disturbed as i was the first time i saw it

hehehe funny mole...

Date Movie = Sucked!

you will probably laugh the whole time like my friends and i but somehow will come to the conclusion that it realy sucked...strangely we all agreed on that, though we all laughed
 

Fantastic Four was really bad. It was like X-Men but without the good actors, plot, or special effects.

Charlie and the Choclate Factory... Mr. Depp is not Willy Wonka. He looks like Michael Jackson. The original guy who played him did lines of cocaine on the set, and looked that a paedophile. That's Willy Wonka.

Ok, looking like Michael Jackson means looking like a paedonphile too. Except you can't say that. He's innocent.

Wallace and Gromit rocked, of course.

Not seen the others. Was meaning to see Narnia but never got around to it.

Anyone else seen Jarhead or Munich? I thought Jarhead was good. Some soldiers have slated if for being innacurate, but I think they're lying for the sake of their image. It does make them look like sex crazed insane guys with a dire need to kill something.. which I think sounds incredibly accurate.

Munich was.. boring, frankly. The fact it bears no resemblance to the actual events of operation bayonet doesn't help it one jot ('inspired by actual events'), but there is a point where you think.. are they really going to show every assassination in so much detail? Boring, Spielberg, pro-Israel crap.

yea, that movie was a joke. terrible

Jarhead was good.  The sex scene caught me off guard.  sex > violence which is kind of weird for a military movie, but the symbolism was cool.  Doesn't hurt that Jake Gyllenhaal is so HOT.  

Brokeback Mountain was good too.  Didn't it win like almost everything at the Oscar's? Anyway, it's a slow movie but a great love story.

has anyone seen the new james bond?

Saw it. I thought it had too many chase scenes that went on for too long, the plot wasn't hugely interesting, and the new guy playing Bond was neither attractive enough to be nice to look at nor annoying enough to hold my interest. And to cap it all off most of the film wasn't even all that visually pleasing, something that a lot of the previous ones have had going for them.

So, feh. It wasn't awful, but I thought they could have done better.  :huh:  

jeez i thought it was quite good...but then again, its the only bond movie i've seen in full :P

i really liked the premise of it, no, it wasn't terribly interesting but i thought it was quite cool.

I saw it, and I liked it.
Several things I didn't like, and I didn't really take to the actor as Bond, but on the whole I found it enjoyable.

worst part was him standing up the babe....what the hell? stupid guy :P

i enjoyed the action scenes and the chases, but on the whole it wasnt a good film. it missed some of the key bond film features, mainly the big elaborate ending which was replaced with him and the girl which just seemed to drag on and on

True, that.  It did lack pace after a while, and there weren't any of the usual developments, such as Bond nipping around installations in loads of different countries and leaving half of them in tatters.  Goldeneye's probably the best one so far.

I've just seen the new Wallace and Grommit, which was good once I got into it.  As my girlfriend pointed out though, it lacked an ET reference when they were flying around with the planes, but as there were so many other references there that might have been deliberate.

*wanders off to bed, wondering when he'll be allowed to sleep*

ahhhh wallace and gromit, good stuff.

just watched running scared, highly recommended. but put some headphones on if sensitive ears are about. i got yelled at for not warning my friend so just a heads up
