Movie Thread

Recently I have been enjoying streaming shows off of netflix. Current addiction is Lie to Me
EDIT: So far I am litereally the only person I have found that Didn't like the Book of Eli...

 

I am a real movie junkie, I will have to think of what I have seen lately
Last couple of james bond movies were really good.
I like a good zombie movie the crazies was pretty good I thought.'
2012 was good
The new skyline looks awesome

 

Watching Splice ATM it's not really that great but has an interesting concept of what could happen when messing around with human DNA.

I watched the new Nightmare on Elm St. last weekend and thought it was horrible. Freddy's face isn't really scary enough and he sounds like the new batman. It did have a few spots where i nearly pee'd myself but other than that...not so great.

Started watching McGrubber last week as well but decided about a half hour into it, I might not ever be high enough to get all the way through it.

 

It's a terrible thing that MGM has done with the franchise, at least in its foreseeable future. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif

 

oh come on, I have watched them all since I was a kid, several times. The last few were more believeable then many.

 

I think you misinterpret my meaning. With MGM trying to sell their company they have stopped all production of the bond series. Daniel Craig (best bond to date since Sean Connery IMO) was signed on for another two movies but his contract was canceled. People are saying it may be another ten years before we see another Bond flick /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif

 

Leaves of Grass is a very good movie and i liked robin hood alot better than the critics did!

 

Gered, I've seen most of the movies you listed and I'd say you're thoughts are right on target.

 

Machete was good if you can laugh at that type of movie.

 

The Tortured: F'd up. That's all I am gonna say.

 

Another one I loved here while back was Wanted with Jolie

 

Just saw Alice. Well done imagery by Tim Burton but weak on plot and dialogue. This actually a sequel to Alice and not a remake so most of the characters and content from the first movie are in this one. Sequels usually aren't as good as the original and this film is no exception.. 2 stars

 

Skyline. This is one that shows that a million dollars in pentiums and the weirdest guys in Hollywood thinking up the coolest monster they can think of is utterly wasted without good acting and a good script. Or at least an average script.

*Spoiler Alert* (in case you fail to heed my warning /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif scroll down.























So these aliens show up and start taking people via giant space-hoover technology. Pretty much the whole movie is this handful of people hiding out in a top floor penthouse trying to decide if they should make a break for it. When they do this huge monster stomps on the Porsche ( as seen in the previews ) and a gizmo/alien similar to the sentinels in Matrix chases everyone until a couple rams it with their mini-van, only it ain't dead and it grabs the guy and yanks his brain out and slaps it into a convenient compartment in its head area. And this is what they're here for, to take our brains, although there is no mention of why they need our brains at any point. It's just a gruesome thing for the sake of gruesomeness. After a bit the military shows up and manages to fire a nuke into one of the big ships, only it repairs itself and the occupants are unharmed, which really bugs the left side of my brain, cause it was a nuke and I'm sorry, but if the lead guy can chop off one of the sentinel thing's arms with a fire ax, then I'm pretty sure they ain't going to hold up to a direct hit from an a-bomb. So nothing works and humanity appears to be doomed and no one can explain how an alien species from across the galaxy is even compatible with a human brain or why they even evolved into a species that apparently has mastered interstellar travel but has to swap out its brain every two weeks or whatever and if I told you how it ends you'd say HUH!!?? What the hell was that? and be unable to operate power equipment safely for at least a day.

 

I know this might be tough with all of the regions, but maybe we should plan some group movie nights.

Tron Anyone?

-JB

 

this could be doable if we all went too our own local theaters

 

+1 for Tron! Count me in!

 

Can't wait for TRON!!!!!! Lately I've been on a KungFu kick it's been; Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon, Ninja Assassin, District 13 and Volcano High!

 

I have decided to pass on tron and go right for a real mans movie, True Grit it is.

 

Just a reminder... TRON starts at Midnight tonight!!!
