isn't that the one with monica? if so, she's a 10 you blasphemer! :p


oh....we're talking about movies...sorry...

The Last Samurai 5/5

I heard that movie was phenomenal.

Eyes Wide Shut 3/5....does anyone else not understand that flick?

Cold Mountain ****(3.5 + .5 for having Jack White in it)

I heard that movie was phenomenal

Its a mere shame because of the Subject, many arent interested. Im quite fascinated by the whole shogun backdrop to the movie. Tom Cruise was perfect, and this movie doesnt exactly end on a happy note.

well worth the 7.50

I really liked this movie!! The sound the little mutant is doin' while running is amazing :)

I liked the movie ( I didn't fall asleep). But it just didn't scare me for a horror film. So for me to rate a horro movie high it's gotta scare me.

I heard that movie was phenomenal.

Eyes Wide Shut 3/5....does anyone else not understand that flick?

Yeah, I don't get it either.

isn't that the one with monica? if so, she's a 10 you blasphemer! :p

oh....we're talking about movies...sorry...

Yes it has Monica in it, it was a great breath of fresh air to not see her be raiped by a dude named Le Tenia for a change. 3/5 is pretty good for my standards.

Theater: Lost in Translation (4.5 / 5.0)

Video: Finding Nemo (4.0 / 5.0)

Theatre: Big Fish **** (out of 5)
Rental: Out of Time ***

The Last Samurai 5/5
Yeah, it was a real good movie.

American Wedding (DVD) - 4.5/5
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Theatre) - 4/5
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (DVD) - 3.5/5

Notorious - Criterion version, 8/10 (1946)
The rear projection scenes look rather cheesy, and the ending was predicable (Hollywood happy ending). But the acting was good and it has Ingrid Bergman.

Princess Mononoke ***/**** - solid Miyazaki, but it was a bit too high-adrenaline for my likes.

Bullit ***/**** - ever notice how some of these old u.s. 60's flick look slow due to the absence of complimental music during chase scenes?

Meet the Parents ***/**** - third time, out of pure boredom. Good fun.

Total Recall *1.5/**** - pretty unwatchable and feels aged. I liked it more when I saw it 10 years ago.

Ronin - **/**** - did nothing for me. Chase scene after chase scene and some really annoying characters. De Niro/Reno are a fine pair though.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

I wouldn't say I completely "understood" Eyes Wide Shut, but then again our simplistic, dumbed-down definition of the word means nothing. I didn't really understand "Diner" either... But "Eyes" excellent visuals, dialogue and atmosphere - I appreciated these factors.

House on Haunted Hill (with Vincent Price)

3/5

Torque. So bad, it was enjoyable. 2/5

Theatre - Big Fish: 3.5 out of 5

Skinemax/HBO - Shallow Hal: 3.5 out of 5

Rental - Extreme Ops: 1 out of 5

Extreme Ops is just asinine. However, if you feel like renting a movie purely to tear it to shreds (or staring at Bridget Wilson-Sampras' beautiful, um, eyes) while you watch it I'd recommend it. Underworld is another good one for ripping on, both are pure garbage.

Total Recall *1.5/**** - pretty unwatchable and feels aged. I liked it more when I saw it 10 years ago.

Ok, when you live in a town like mine and you have a girlfriend you don't have much choice.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (TMN) - 3.5/5
28 Days Later (DVD) - 4.5/5
Return Of The King (Theatre) - 4.5/5

I'd give 5/5 for the first two parts of LOTR, but this one was choppier... you can tell that alot was cut out from this one where it wasn't so obvious with the other two.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (TMN) - 3.5/5

The Last Samurai 5/5

One of the best movie EVER.

theater: Along Came Polly 4/5 great comedy feel

dvd: Pirates of the Carabean 3.5/5 I was a bit disapointed but it was still good regardless.

Oh, I also saw Aronofsky's 'Pi' not that long ago and I give it 3.14159 (out of 4) :D

P.S. Brock - Arnold's "screw you" in Total Recall was the best thing about the film. I guess that may have been worth the viewing... Or not. Almost.

Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses.

Watched it for the second time. It's alright and I'd give it a 6.5 or 7 out of 10.

In theaters: Return of the king 4/5

On tv: O'brother where art thou 2/5 (bonafied!)

Theater: The Last Samruai 5/5

Rental: Cannibal the Musical 5/5 (the commentary made me piss my pants)

Raging Bull: Excellent movie, though somewhat overrated by many, I think. 4 out of 5, nevertheless.

Terminator 3: Meh. It certainly could have been worse. Some of the one-liners were terrible, but that My So Called Life chick did somewhat redeem the movie. The super terminator was pretty hot, too. 2.5 out of 5.

Solaris: WTF? It was certainly an interesting character study...I guess. It's just that the damn film didn't make any sense. They said in the movie "There doesn't have to be a reason," and I guess that's right, but the payoff at the end fell short for me. Good, moody cinematography and a script that does make one think saves this movie from truly sucking, in my mind. 3 out of 5.

The Return Of The King.
5/5

Lord of the Rings:

First Part: 10/10

Second Part: 10/10

Third Part: 6/10

Stuck on you 2/5 - If you have seen the trailer- you've seen the funniest parts.
Band of Brothers Box Set DVD - very good

Resident Evil on DVD : 4/5
U-571 on DVD: 4.5/5

Along Came Polly - 3/5: Ben Stiller isn't even the funniest guy in the movie.

Big Fish - 5/5: Love it, maybe the best movie I've ever seen.

Sturm, good to see you're still 6 feet above the oak chamber. But are you referencing the Clooney/Soderbergh version here ? I would give the same rating to the Tarkovsky version, but we're of different tastes I think.

The four I just saw -

Fritz Lang's "M" or "The Murderers Are Among Us" - 4/5
Lars von Trier's "Breaking the Waves" - 5/5
Luchino Visconti's "Ludwig" - 4/5
Nikita Mikhalkov's "Burnt by the Sun" - 5/5

Don Cherry 3
10 out of 10

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - 5/5 and quite possibly the best movie I ever saw.

Other recent views:
Goodbye Lenin! - 4/5 very good and entertaining movie, recommended.
Catch me if you can - 4.5/5 absolutely brillian Spielberg movei with good performances by both Leonardo di Caprio and Tom Hanks
The Matrix Revolutions - 2.5/5 Entertaining action but weak plot and hence forgettable. Shame of a trilogy which could have been a lot better.

I seen Lord Of The Rings and hated it, they should have ended the movie a half an hour earlier after they burnt the ring. Then Froto and Sam had to have a couple more of their sappy moments.

Italian Job. 6.5 out of 10. Some eye candy, some fast cars, story line OK...but not really in depth.

I seen Lord Of The Rings and hated it, they should have ended the movie a half an hour earlier after they burnt the ring. Then Froto and Sam had to have a couple more of their sappy moments.

That would have meant ditching part of the book which a great deal of fans (me included) would not exactly be happy about. I personally was relieved they didn't end it after the destruction of the ring. One thing which was a bit of a shame was that they omitted Saruman's part form RotK, since that really showed the costs everybody paid in the war.

Pirates of the Caribbean

7/10.

Pretty decent action, but the plot was very thin.

U-571 on DVD: 4.5/5

Are you crazy? U-571 was one of worst movies I've ever seen in my life. A defamation of historical events.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico - 8/10

Not much for the acting and all that. Awesome action and I had a great time watching it. Johnny Depp stole the movie.

On the topic of movies I just picked up The Godfather Trilogy!

The Big Fish. Director Tim Burton meets Robert Zemeckis. Or The Big Fish is a kind of Forrest Gump Redux. Mythical storytelling where you decide fact from fiction to put together the puzzling metaphor. They even have the computer graphics manipulations just like in Gump. Nice story about a son's reconciliation with his Dad. Achieving immortality by creating myths; our children will then re-count the magical moments. I don't feel like psycho-analysing it mostly because I didn't read the book. Nice movie but I give it a 7.5 out of 10. Which is still good.

Tomace, if you look to the cinema for your history lessons (which is probably true given a lot of your viewpoints), then the least of your worries is someone else's opinion on film.

Johnny Depp stole the movie.



Seems like that is being said a lot lately. But its true. Depp is such an exceptional actor.

American Wedding (DVD) - 4.5/5
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Theatre) - 4/5

I really like this movie and I've seen him more than one time... I'm not watching it for its "historical" side though....

On a different note, I just watch Bulletproof Monk.... 3.5/5

Well, U571 might seem decent if you've never seen a good submarine flick, so you could compare them.

Once you do, you realize that it's pure hollywood crap.

Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas - 4/5

Se7en on DVD

5/5

Seen it a number of times. One of my all time favourites.

4/5 for special features.

Reservoir Dogs on DVD

Awesome independant film.

It was pretty good up through the first depth charge attack. That scene was pretty cool in the theater and the sound was great.

After that, it got pretty boring.

Gangs of New York 4/5

The Godfather Part II - 10/10

Almost as good as the first. It had great acting, a great script and great directing. De Niro was amazing, Pacino was great, Duvall and John Caazale where both solid.

Theatre - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 4/5
VHS - Boat Trip 0/5 horrible
DVD - Basic 4/5

Fallen 4.5 / 5

Great film all around. Really under-rated and doesn't get much attention.

S.W.A.T. on DVD. Fast-paced with good action, well-casted (Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell & Michelle Rodriguez) with the current Hollywood cliches about terrorism. 3.5/5

Fallen 4.5 / 5

Great film all around. Really under-rated and doesn't get much attention.

I watched this movie again recently.. Good movie!! The ending is great!

Eye of the Tiger - starring Gary Busey

flat out horrible, its from the 80's and stars GB, i didnt expect it to be good but man was it bad

The Recruit with Al Pacino and Colin Farrel. B+

Freddy Vs. Jason - B

Thin and cluttered but entertaining.

Stuck On You (M.Damon, G.Kinnear)

6/10

Tears of the Sun DVD 4.3/5

Fallen 4.5 / 5

Great film all around. Really under-rated and doesn't get much attention.

I third this notion.

I can't really remember, but I'm pretty sure the last movie I've seen is Chasing Amy. 3.5/5. Entertaining movie that is always enjoyable, but not like it's great or anything, other than Jason Lee, possibly my favourite comedic actor.

GI JOE : the Movie (again) 145,400,205,781 / 5

Bruce Almighty 3/5

Along Came Polly... 2.5/5

It's a definite rental... I expected a movie a la Dumb & Dumber, and what I got was a chick flick. The best scenes are in the trailer and Hank Azaria is awfully annoying with his fake French accent

Lost In Translation: 3.67/5

Good acting by Murray... makes me wanna visit Tokyo

Was in the mood to watch some horror movies this week, so...

Cabin Fever - *** (out of 5)

Weird little movie. More gore than actual scares. Lots of horror cliches with a little Cujo and Deliverance mixed in...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - * 1/2

Absolutely horrible sequel. What was Denis Hopper thinking?

Citizen Kane- A little hard to understand but giving it less than a perfect score is blasphemy.

5 thumbs up

Pirates of the Caribbean


Was alright. Give it a 7/10.

Cabin Fever on DVD : 4.5/5

Cheaper by the dozen

3.5/5

Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt are two of the funniest people alive

Mystic River 4.5/5

had to see what all the buzz was about this movie and I thought it lived up to the hype, definitely glad they rereleased it in theaters

The Grinch 4/5

Jim Carrey did a good job.

Alex Balabanov's "Brat" / "Brother" 3.5/5
Lars von Trier's "Idioterne" 3/5

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - * 1/2

I didn't think it was quite that bad. But then again, I have yet to see the original.

Old School - DVD- 5/5

Best comedy EVER!! :yo: :handclap:

Lost in Translation (second viewing) ****/****

It's in my top five for the year.

Young Frankenstein - 7/10, doesn't hold up as well as Blazing Saddles, but Marty Feldman was great as Igor.

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (I think the english version is called Amelia, not sure though..). That was the third or fourth time I saw it. Definitly one of my favorites.

*****

Boogie Nights - 4/5

Every time I see the movie I keep wishing they could have filled it in a little more (his meteoric fall from stardom and the decline in the porn industry). Then it would have got a 5...

Remember The Titans - 4.5/5

Session 9 - I was all prepared to give it a 6.5-7, but the ending pissed me off, bonus points for the cinematography and location, which I thought were good. 5/10

I saw it before ...but anyways ...

Bowling for Columbine

Give it an 8.5/10

Monster 4/5

Last Samurai 1.5/5 I wish they would have saved me the time and money and just titled it "Dances with Shogun"

Hahaha, I agree.

A pure fantasy for english teachers in japan.

the film really sucks. mandy moore is super hot, except in the beginning, but yeah, this movie blew

I saw Monster. :handclap:

Full Metal Jacket - 4.5/5

Never gets old.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High- The real version, not the unwatchable hacked-up USA Network one.
500/5. All-time classic.

American Wedding - 7.5/10
The Frightners - 8/10

Murder of Crows *.5/**** - Eric Stoltz couldn't act to save his life

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

(1932 version) - pre-Code version, a little bit more violent and graphic sexually, but not by much that the other version. Fredric March did a pretty good version of Jekyll/Hyde. Hyde is this version looked like a cross between the Wolf Man and an ape. But a 7/10, if you remember how old the film is.

(1941 version) - post-Code, hardly any violence or sexual undertones, save the first transformation scene where Spancer Tracy is whipping 2 horses and they turn into Ingrid Bergman and Lana Tuner. The Hyde makeup was a joke, not scary at all, Tracy goes from looking like himself to Kirk Douglas. Had more of a Hollywood glam treatment, but some of the effects were better in the 1932. 5/10

One of my favorite movies. Matter of fact I'm gonna watch it now.

Solaris - 9/10. One of the best movies I've seen in years. Brilliant concept, gracefully and skillfully executed. Excellent acting by most players, especially that freaky wiggy guy. Understated, but not to the point of obscurity - just to the point of drawing you in to an ever-tightening orbit around the plot. Every Soderberg movie I see makes me more of a fan.

Wrong Turn.

9.9/10 :handclap: There was some stupidly obvious parts (once) but I liked it. :yo:

Indeed!!

I just saw the Butterfly Effect!

9.4/10

Amazing movie!!

So that would be a "thumbs down?" :joker:

Yeah, I suspected something like that as I watched it. I'm looking forward to seeing the original, because the storyline of that film was mostly what carried it for me. I thought it was absolutely brilliant, and I would have forgiven a heck of a lot of Hollywood hoo-hah for the chance to see that story unfold.

But overall, I still thought this version was much better than most Hollywood treatments. Soderberg has a way of making every frame seem like something's about to explode out of it. Had me right from the opening scene.

I agree with the good doctor, but you knew that already.

Tarkovsky is so great, that Solyaris was considered his *failure*. But at least you're working your way up instead of down, that's always a positive experience.

See Tarkovky's superior Solaris and you will realize just what a typical Hollywood abortion this fecal pile is.

The MST3K version of Godzilla vs Megalon. My side hurt the next day from laughing so hard. I give it 9.5 out of 10.

Unlike Donnie Darko, I could actually come away saying I knew what the heck this movie was about. Sort of hard to follow though since there’s so many things thrown at you throughout the movie.

Lost in Translation 7/10

A love story about two people who are bored which is actually not too boring. Tokyo was an interesting setting for the story. It brought back some memories for me having lived in Japan before.

Just watched it on the plane ride back from Germany.
It is a very beuatifully done movie and adds a bit of intercultural humor into it (the "rip my stockings" part had me rolling)
Scarlett Johannson was beautiful in the movie although it was disturbing to see him kiss Bill Murray.

Barbershop 2 4/5

not as good as the first one but still a pretty darn good movie in its own right

Jenna loves Brianna= 11/10

it Jenna Jameson people!!!!

The Last Samurai *** and a half stars.

Dances with Wolves meets Japanese lifestyle. Doesn't make it a bad thing. The fighting scenes are great and the ending is well done.

28 Days Later. Was very good, however all the people that told me to watch it really hyped it up so I was expecting more. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

K-19 The Widowmaker - 7.7/10

Just to let you and others know, Harrison Ford came on late night with conan o'brien and admitted that his film (K-19) was stupid.

Cold Mountain - 3.5 / 5 stars

American Splendor.

The first reality based project, (all the rave nowadays), I've seen since, ironically, 'Crumb' or maybe 'American Movie', where you empathize, not despise, the characters.

A clever and humorous look at American pathos without making you squirn in your seat from disgust.

K-19 The Widowmaker.....I think you mean HaRUSSIAN Ford
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ok im done

The last movie I saw was "Miracle" this past weekend. It was better than even I expected. Kurt Russell was great as Herb Brooks. There were a few little mistakes that were annoying (Ken Morrow is now apparently LEFT-HANDED, and didn't have his beard, etc.), but over-all it was fun. Better than the other one with Karl Malden as Brooks, THAT'S for sure!

Comedian - 3/5

No Man's Land 5/5

Brilliant filmaking. It tells the tale of two soldiers, one Bosnian, one Serbian, trapped in the no man's land together.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283509/

That was a rather good one, if you liked it I'd recommend Emir Kusturica's "Underground" as well. A movie that proves shooting your own people in a gunfight CAN be funny.


My latest :

Hiroshima Mon Amour 4/5 , much more narcissitic than other Resnais movies, and although it's associated with the French New Wave I've always thought of Resnais and Bresson as separate from Le Nouvelle Vogue, but this film appears to at least have inspired them. Not as good nor interesting as 'Marienbad', and in fact somewhat offensive, condescending and not apolitical enough for the zen-approach the FNW'ers thought they were capable of. Still much more interesting than Daddy Day Care.

Lost in translation, 8.5/10

Born On the Fourth of July. **** stars.

First time I have actually sat down and watched this flick. Two decent Cruise movies I have seen in the last two days.

Saw Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on Saturday and thought it was very good. Maybe not as good as the first (are they ever?) but definately a must see that I'm embarrassed it took me so long to see.

9.8/10

L'Atalante (2nd viewing) - ****/**** - masterpiece - Vigo would have been a legend had he lived to make more films.

A Clockwork Orange (2nd viewing) - **.5/**** - Some might say it's easy to hate, but I say it's not easy to like either. McDowell steals the show however.

Mon Oncle D'Amerique - ***.5/**** - Depardieu is one of the finest actors alive

When Harry Met Sally (umpteenth viewing) - ***.5/**** - It got me thinking about how people's attitudes have changed, as two sexes can no longer have such open conversations in the Western society without fear of lawsuit, sexual harassment, etc... Times have changed.

The Girl With A Pearl Earring - ***.5/**** - My only problem was that they so fittingly included "The View of Delpht" in Tom Wilkinson's chamber. That just looked set-up. But incredible attention to detail nonetheless and kudos for including camera oscura

Elephant, 7/10

Casino

9/10

Radio: 10/10

Alex and Emma - 7.8/10

Me and the old lady went to see 50 first dates the other day and I thought for a date flick it was very good.

Old Lady? Have a little respect

the last 3 movies i've seen:

8 femmes: 9/10, such a fun movie to watch

Y tu mama tambien: 7/10, it was ok, and it had a few great scenes, but nothing amazing

The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover: 9.5/10, what an unbelievable movie

"Miracle"

While I like the whole idea of this movie I would much prefer if it was more truthfull.

The way they shown team USSR playing you would've thought they were Flyers/Bruins or Leafs etc.

Soviet teams were never physical bullies-giants!!!! They won because of great skills, puckmovement ,teamchemistry etc. :eek:

Also the goals they scored against the US were all portrayed to be the result of dirty plays. Like they had to cheat to score. :dunno:

Old Lady? Have a little respect


Whatever.

Alex and Emma - 7.8/10

I'm sorry, but anything over 'zero' is undeserved.

Good bye, Rob Reiner.

Miracle.

8/10

Pretty good flick.

Only movie ill see all year.

Miracle.

9/10

Just finished 'Apolcalypse Now again', (haven't seen Redux)...still as good as it was...

8 femmes: 9/10, such a fun movie to watch


Everybody's just too scared to see Ozon's other one Water Drops on Burning Rocks. With good reason, but just see it, if only for the hilariously droll gay german characatures.

Just finished 'Apolcalypse Now again', (haven't seen Redux)...still as good as it was...

Redux wasn't really worth Coppola's time, IMO. He did it for the money.
The added sequences (except for the playful surfboard additions) are all extremely raw and leave a mixed feeling. The French plantation sequence had wonderful potential and starts out incredibly well, but slowly deteriorates into something that resembles old Emanuelle movies.

That playful surfboard addition I found to be incredibly intelligent, and am astonished they left it out in the first place. Bringing civilization (surfing) by way of war on an indiginous people, civilization juxtaposed so closely in an ironic half battle half party, that scene summed up the Vietnam war more than any others in the film.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle


Probably around 5.5/10

Kinda dull and lame. Some nice T&A at times though.

American Wedding:

8/10
Some classic scenes, but you could tell they were running out of idea's.

Bad Boys 2

Good one - probably better than the first one :dunno:

8/10

Lethal Weapon 2
10/10 ......how isn't it

Bad Boys 2

Good one - probably better than the first one :dunno:



Well, you're half-right.

Arlington Road

9/10

I was mixed on the ending, I guess I was used to the classic "good guy wins" scenario, so I was really shocked. Great film though, a couple of actors/actresses that I like; Tim Robbins, Hope Davis.

Gaslight (1944) - 9/10

Big Fish [03-04]

9/10...then again like Tim Burton films...

Bernardo Bertolucci's

THE DREAMERS

12/10

One of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Any appreciators of film should see it immediately.

I watched The Italian Job the other night. I'd give it a 6/10. Above average, but nothing special. I watched "Alligator" on television today, classic camp. 7/10.

Code Hunter - It's a B-Rate movie, but my mom picks them up from the bargain bin for like 6 bucks, and I've actually come across quite a few good stories. I'd have to rate Code Hunter about 8.5/10, if you can look past it's B-rateness and try and enjoy the story, it's quite fun.

Little Boy Blues. Thought it was hillarious.

Cold Mountain. Pleasantly very surprised

Das Experiment : 8/10

a very deep movie that asks a lot of questions. I (along with everyone I was watching with) felt that the ending was kind of overdone, i feel a much subtler ending would have been more powerful.

Runaway Jury: 8.5/10

Based on the John Grisham book--Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and John Cusack turn in some great performances here...Rachel Weisz was good, too.

50 First Dates.

6/10.

Predictable, but there were some laughs.

When does "The Passion Of Christ" come out? Any Mel Gibson directed movie is worth while seeing.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

10/10 - One of the best movies I've ever seen, if this doesn't get at least 5 Oscars it's a big upset!

Casablanca (1942/43) - 9/10

Jerry Maguire -- 9/10

Thirteen - Not bad.. I can't rate it.. I don't know yet if I liked it or not :)

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

10/10 - One of the best movies I've ever seen, if this doesn't get at least 5 Oscars it's a big upset!

For every Oscar it wins, I shall kill a LOTR-loving nerd.

You are my hero.

I didn't like LOR, I dunno why, I'm not into fantasy movies like that.

Hunt For Red October - 10/10 (Tom Clancy is amazing)

Lost In Translation

-4/10

From what I was expecting and what I got, I was more than a little dissapointed.

And I shall kill 3 more.

Lotr sucks more than the penguins.

Nah, they aren't that bad, if you've seen this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102558/) movie, you realize that it's worse than the Pens. But Eraserhead is as bad as the Capitals though.

Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, The (1971)
Address:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067245/

Unbelievable!!!

Bruce Dern should buy all the prints and burn them.

:lol: it has Casey Kasem in it, may actually have to track that down. Was there an MST3K treatment of it perhaps?

I don't think so.

As horrendous as the movie is, the score is worse.

Pat Priest spends about 90 percent of the movie tied up in her nightie and screams a lot. Her hair never gets mussed though.

RUshmore

11.1/10 PUre hilarious brilliance... RENT IT!!!

i think hes sold all prints to showtime...seems to be played alot on showtime extreme.

quite bad...

Insomnia 10/10

solid movie, not an original story but executed well enough. Al Pacino is great

Underworld 7/10
it was ok....but nothing special

American Splendor -- 8/10

The movie didn't really have a point other than to show the life of this odd guy. Some parts were pretty funny watching him deal with his many disappointments. Some depressing scenes. Overall, a-ok.

8 1/2 (1963) - 8/10, very good.

Matchstick Men (2003) 6/10 - pretty funny movie, I like Cage in this one
Gothika (2003) 5/10 - rather mediocre thriller with Halle Berry

50 First Dates 3/5

Cute and entertaining, never too lame or dull. Not quite as sincere as The Wedding Singer.

The Butterfly Effect

9/10

I really enjoyed it. Some parts of the story are lacking, but it is an interesting, unique concept that kept my attention throughout. And I want to buy the DVD, which automatically means it is good.

Todo sobre mi madre (Almodovar) - 4/5


The main actress (already forgot her name) was unbelievably marvelous.

Todo sobre mi madre (Almodovar) - 4/5


The main actress (already forgot her name) was unbelievably marvelous.

Ayup, "Ceclia Roth". Great actress. I said as much in the other film thread elaborating on my selection of it.

50 First Dates 3/5

Cute and entertaining, never too lame or dull. Not quite as sincere as The Wedding Singer.

I liked Sandler much more as a mean, vulgar s.o.b. Like from Billy Madison.

People who get drunk, swear and make pee jokes are just simply funny - you have to admit.

I rewatched on DVD the Four Feathers.. great movie! 9/10

Don't know if it counts, but the SNL: Best of Will Ferrel DVD. It owned. 10/10.

The Passion

-no comment ;) - 8.5/10

The American Soldier 4/5, for everybody who wants to see Tarantino done intelligently, I'd say this is a better version of Le Samourai. Best of early Fassbinder. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065391/

The Marriage of Maria Braun (2nd viewing) 5/5, not for everybody, definately for Fassbinder fans. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079095/

Persona 5/5, (3rd viewing) Bergman knows his hoes. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060827/

I also saw Italain Job a couple of nights ago, not too bad: 7/10

KITH - Brain Candy (1996) - 5/10, gets worse everytime I watch it.

Fallo! (2003) - 1/10, stylish, but awful, monkeys could point a camera and probably make a more interesting 'film'.

Secondhand Lions -- 8/10

I thought it would blow, but was impressed. The cool stories told by the uncles make this movie.

In Theatre : ButterFly Effect 10/10 I really enjoyed this

At Home : Days of Thunder, yesterday, classic 9/10

Phone Booth
It was pretty cool.

Well why not...

Triplette de Bellevilles : 3.5/5 .. pretty cool...
American splendor : 4/5 ... just wow ....
LA face cachée de la lune : 3/5 .. good enough

just for the record i could give 0 /5 to plenty of movies but I just havent seen any 5/5 yet.... :dunno:

Pirates Of The Caribbean - 8/10

A couple things I could get from this movie, when Jack shoots Barbossa, Barbossa dies "after" Will throws the two gold pieces in yet jack doesn't die from the sword that went through his chest while he was imortal.

Also, Will was stuck inside the ship that was blowing up yet 15 seconds later he is on hte Black Pearl which was a good 200 meters away.

Other then that it was a good movie.

Broken Lizard's Club Dread.
6/10

Pirates Of The Caribbean - 8/10

A couple things I could get from this movie, when Jack shoots Barbossa, Barbossa dies "after" Will throws the two gold pieces in yet jack doesn't die from the sword that went through his chest while he was imortal.


Well, I think Barbarossa becomes mortal again when the two gold pieces are in the chest, that's why...

Eurotrip - a surprising 3.5/5 stars (can't give more simply based on genre, but a solid 90 minute laugh).

Well, I think Barbarossa becomes mortal again when the two gold pieces are in the chest, that's why...
Yes but so does Jack who got stabbed in the chest....

Cheerleader Ninjas

think of it as a bad knock off of American Pie meets the Power Rangers
with plenty of nudity and gross humor
Worst Movie I've Ever Seen.

F-
-5 stars

Orange County 7.5/10 its ok ...a total "sunday afternoon" movie

Phone Booth somewhat predictable...
6.5/10

Super Troopers. A solid 9/10.
