Alien

Even though I knew what was going to happen at the end, I had no idea about the parts in between. It was like an awesome thrill ride. It was also cool to see how the tone of the series totally shifted by the second film, from haunted house movie in space to monster action movie in space.

I can't give this movie enough praise. Anyone who hasn't seen it I highly recommend they do.

Odd note: I can't remember the name of it, but the original Alien was actually based on a sci-fi story. The sequels however were, of course, their own beasts. I've liked each one I've seen for their own reasons, though I've only gotten to see Alien, Aliens, and Alien Resurrection.
ANd off note, call me crazy if you must, but I bloody well loved Alien Resurrection.

Last film I saw was Grindhouse last night. A friend of mine and I were supposed to go see the ATHF film, but we ended up misreading the showtimes and went to see Grindhouse instead. I wasn't too terribly disappointed, since Grindhouse turned out so great. Really, I wrote most of my thoughts on it down in the thread about it.

MEET THE ROBINSONS.

<333 I'm seeing it tomorrow in 3-D :D

Finally got to see The Evil Dead for the first time last night. Great horror film.

Yes the evil Dead series is one of my favorites horror movies.
Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3) has been on basic cabel a lot this past year.

Hoodwinked!

I've been wanting to see this movie, and I finally got the chance. I loved it! Patrick Warburton (as The Wolf) was brilliant. 8D

I liked the unique plot, however I think it had a lot of publicity and marketing, that it did not live up to. If it had a less agressive marketing I think I would have liked it better. but that may have been just me, I do not think Polar Express lived up to being very rewatchable.

Borat

I had finally gotten a chance to see this movie and my god, it is the nastiest, funniest, greatest movie ever. It's insanely disgusting sometimes and it's insanely funny as well. It's not for everyone for sure but I SO enjoyed it.

Turtles Can Fly.... Unfortunately no turtles actually flew in this movie.

Smokin' Aces

I've seen this movie without about 2 different people and one loved it and one hated it, not to mention majority of people scoff this movie. But I still enjoyed it and am very glad I got the chance to see it.

I admit it was a big confusing when I first saw it but I wrapped my head around it and I think this film is alot better then people give it credit.

My Neighbour Totoro

Oh man, I've got to get me one of them cat bus things. :D

Hot Fuzz

I saw this first showing on opening day. This movie is just spectacular. Great fun all around. I'm so glad that I saw it. The other movie I saw in theater was washed out of my mind by this film, and I saw it afterwards. The entire film is just a veritable who's who in British comedy, and they each seem like they had a good time. And if you go, I guarantee you will as well.

Spirited Away

Hayao Miyazaki's movies are the best, IMO. :)

The Island

Talk about a loooong movie, not as long as Grindhouse or say King Kong but still a good chunk of time. I loved this film tho, Michael Bay can be bashed, harassed and ripped on all you want, but I really enjoyed this movie.

bruce almighty

awsome movie, never get tired of it. on USA if anyone else wants to see it

Unbreakable

Awesome movie, fanatastic, the BEST film cranked out of M. Night Shamalayn's releases. Or at least I think so anyway.

Second favorite would be "The Sixth Sense", followed by "Signs" at third place.

Hot Fuzz and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I loved both, honestly. However, while I adored Hot Fuzz, I didn't like it quite as much as Shaun of the Dead, though that may simply be because I got more of the references in Shaun of the Dead then I did in Hot Fuzz.

The Outsiders

While I dislike most movies that are based off of books, we had to watch this movie just recently in English class since we've finished reading the book. I personally didn't like it as much as the book, but it was still okay.

The Brave Little Toaster

Talk about a childhood classic, I'm actually watching it right now as we speak.

This is a cartoon movie I think I'll always hold dear in my heart.

The Decline of Western Civilization Part Two: The Metal Years

great, great, great movie.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze

One of the greatest movie sequels I've ever seen. I loved seeing the turtles being more playful, and of course, TOKKA AND RAHZAR RULE!

The Gods must be Crazy

This begins as a sort of mockumentary about how the idyllic lifestyle of a tribe of bushmen came to be corrupted by the arrival of a Coca Cola bottle on their terrain (presumably a metaphor for corporate greed). Probably not the most-PC movie ever made, but I assume it's intended as a satire and I had fun in these early stages. Then we discover that the coke bottle story is actually just a subplot to another, somewhat less engaging storyline, over which someone in the editting room was clearly getting too carried away with their fast motion switches :cheesegrin: . I did quite like the ending though.

I liked that one, but I would have to disagree on the mockumentary. I think it was done more on intent of a Socialogical commentary on the differences of culture and technology. however it has been many years since I saw it, and I distinctly remember disliking the sequal. but this I do not think was a satire but an actual Could happen senario due narated in a documentary style.

The Invisible

A pretty decent flick, not superb but a satisfactory movie. Not really a violent or a scary type movie but it had a good story and some interesting twists to the whole "afterlife" theory.

I'd give it like a 2 and a half stars.

i like the Bushman driving the truck backwards. :bloosmirk:

Lady In The Water

I don't care what anyone says, this movie is great. Giamatti is fantastic as always, and the fairytale in the movie itself is very beautiful. If you were already set on hating it before going in, I recommend you don't see it. For those interested, or those die-hard Giamatti fans (you know who you are) pick this one up.

monty python and the holy grail :)

in my opinion, one of the funniest movies ive ever seen.

100 Rifles.

Best non-Eastwood non-Wayne Western ever. It has Raquel Welch. 'nuff said.

Full Metal Jacket

If I have to say anything about this movie to convince you to watch it, it isn't for you. Great stuff.

i agree!

"Seven point Six-Two Full Metal Jacket..."

7.62x51 is a big bullet.

i watched 'the invisible' and 'hot fuzz' this weekend. 'the invisible' was decent. not overly done, pretty good story line, kinda cheezy ending. after it was over i didn't beg for my money back. 'hot fuzz' was a typical british comedy (which i love). the 2 lead actors that were in 'shaun of the dead' were in this as well, and i find them very funny. i hope they do another movie together.

It is even funnyer when you read the credits. (both in the begin and the end.)

Llama!

anyway, i watched Conan the Barbarian on DVD last night. Sooo underrated but sooooo good. Crom!

I probably seen that film more than any another in my time on earth, even more than I've seen Terminator, Arnie's finest role. Proper classics!

Last film I saw was The Lives of Others, a surprisingly sad and romantic film about a Stasi officer in 80s East Germany before the fall of the Berlin wall. If you don't mind films with subtitles, go see this.
This film gets a 4 mac rating. It's a bit cerebral but very nice!

:) :) :) :)

The History Boys

I saw it last night on DVD. I really enjoyed it! :bloogrin:

Yeah, on second thoughts, mockumentary was probably the wrong word. "Documentary style" is probably a lot more apt. :)


Great film. Alan Bennett is a genius. I really regret missing out on the National Theatre play.


The last movie I saw was Requiem for a Dream.

An exceedingly grim little picture about four individuals whose lives get ruined by substance addiction, with some very hard-hitting editting techniques. I felt so sorry for Ellen Burstyn's character. :(

The next movie I see had better be a happy one.

Bill Murry, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis in an Ivan Reitman film....GHOSTBUSTERS. (1984) A classic film with a great cast that still stands up today IMHO.

Spider Man 3

I absolutely loved it. For a movie that seemed to cram alot of material, characters, and story into one film, I sure as hell was impressed. Very different kind of Spider man movie but a very good one.

Venom looked bad ass, there were a few minor nit picks but I still loved this movie.

Spider-Man 3

Basically the same thing as Mr. M. The great thing about this series is that you get to see how the director grew and learned from his mistakes. Don''t listen to the critics on this one, it's a must-see. I'm hoping to see it again real soon

My next movie in theatres will be 28 Weeks Later.

I agree with you guys. Spider-Man 3 rocked out loud. Peter going emo was hilarious. And Eddie's Spider Sense was good too.
