The Village: AWESOME movie, typical M.Night Shyamalan movie. Good suspense, neat idea, very cool cinematic style.

The best part of the movie is the parallels and symbolism it has to religion and politics will REALLY make you think a few days after you saw it.

 

It also has some moments where I was absolutely scared out of control.

 

8/10

 

well, I hope you're not being sarcastic ET, because after reading your review I have finally decided to go see The Village. I was quite bewildered by the varying reviews it was getting, and I'm generally not a review following person :) But, seeing you are usually a quite clever man(you must be, to be able to tell time on that watch of yours :p), I will take your word for it and check it out :D

Saw Collaterol (sp?) 2 nights ago.... it was an average movie. The ending was just weird, and the beginning was boring. 6/10

 

I actually liked collateral a lot. But I can understand how some people might not enjoy it.

Hopefully you enjoy it so I dont fall out of the "People Astro thinks is clever" group. Because that would certainly ruin my day. :xp:

 

 

Honestly though I thought it was a really good movie, I enjoyed myself throughout.

 

 

Saw Hero the other day, and THAT was a fantastic movie. It was VERY Chinese, but also VERY cool. The fight choreography was phenomenal and the story was fantastic. I give this one a hearty recommendation.

M. Knight is not a great director, Ive seen all but the Village. A warning after seeing his films, dont operate heavy machinery. The dialog is always drawn out and laggy. :o I did like Alien Vs Predator, it was better than I thought. No big mystery My Big Fat Greek Wedding sucked! I like SpiderMan II that was cool.

well mister, your cleverness status is not in jeopardy, as having seen the Village tonight I found it thorughly entertaining, and also the fact that is was

believable

was refreshing too... I was expecting some over the top ending, but I didnt get it, and I was pleased :D

 

Nice cameo by

director Shyamalan... the guy reading the paper in the guards station, you briefly see his face in the reflection of the medicine cabinet

:D

*spoilerific* that one librarian beeing nefertiti, what the blazing hell?

 

but the mummy, at a given point he's undercover in the city. How ridiculous is that. a mummy should just destroy... and the most stupid thing of all is that one guy hitting a self destruct handle.

alegis, I think The Mummy was meant to be taken with a grain of salt, rather than treated to the scrutiny of a Discovery Channel Documentary :p

 

I didnt mind the Mummy Returns....mainly fo rthe FX, go ILM !! :D

I saw 3 new movies recently...

 

Hero

If you're a fan of asian action films or Jet Li I recommend it. If not, you probably won't like it. It is kind of slow at some points but like ET said it's very Chinese. Beautifully shot. It has lots of action but lots of serious parts. I liked the storyline movement, even though there were some "flashbacks within a flashback." I'm sure it means a lot more to the Chinese than to us. My only complaint was I've seen Jet Li do a lot more impressive stuff. 6/10

 

The Corporation

This is a documentary style film about corporations and corporate personhood, the rights corporations have and how they are a part of all of our lives now. (some of the conservatives on this board will probably get ticked off about it- I mean, Michael Moore is briefly in it) It's pretty long to sit through, but it's very informative and sheds the light on the corporate world and some of the horrible things that have happened in the history of corporations. A must see for anyone who cares about democracy and our global society. 8.5/10

 

What the (Bleep) Do We Know!?

This is a little film that examines Quantum Physics and our perception of reality. It goes into lots of little parts about what our conciousness is, what matter is, what time and the reality we perceive is. It got off track in a couple spots I felt, and didn't really explain a lot of what I wanted explained. There was also an underlying spiritual message that I thought was pretty hoaky. But all in all it is a movie that just makes you think. You guys should check it out. 7.5/10
