GeneralPloKoon Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Astro Boy....it was ok...next up is the new Alice in Wonderland.
ZimmMaster Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 I recently watched District 9 and Surrogates. 1st was awesome second one, not so much.
Darth Avlectus Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Boondock Saints 2 at a friend's house...now I'm watching #1 to gain perspective.
Astrotoy7 Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 I'm catching up on alot of TV shows. The last feature length film I watched was Percy Jackson. I'm not going to can it because it was exactly what it was supposed to be... a silly kids movie with mythological themes. Uma Thurman as Medusa was pretty cool tho' Before that it was Peter Greenaway's Night Watch, for the second time in the last year. I love that movie I'm going through all of Greenaway's features for an article I'm working on. I'll probably watch Kick Ass next, and Edge of Darkness is on the list too. mtfbwya
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Shrek was funny, not as good as number 2, but very entertaining 8.1/10 thought it was amazing and very well done. I have no clue why it got bad reviews! 9.4/10 It was a good movie if you like action and adventure. No romance like the actual story of Perseus, and it differed a little bit from the actual myth 7.3/10 One of the best miniseries I have ever seen! Very true to Forester's novels, with only slight variations 9.6/10

Very true to Forester's novels, with only slight variations 9.6/10 I liked that too - especially Robert Lindsay as Sir Edward Pellew. I love that speech he gives when Hornblower goes aboard Indefatigable for the first time. The music is excellent too. The Mutiny and Retribution 2-parter was my favourite, I'd say.

Not all romances have to be the typical Hollywood style of two people jumping each other’s bones. The relationship between Perseus and Lo was very well done. I just wish the rest of the movie would have showed the same restraint instead of being way over the top. 3 out of 10 stars
Alexrd Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Kick-Ass: 6.5/10 - What an overrated movie... Rewatched: Watchmen (Director's Cut): 9.5/10 - Great masterpiece. Loyal to the novel. Jurassic Park III - 7.5/10 - Just saw it to get ready for the Jurassic Park game that will be announced at E3. SW01 said: Not a pairing of words I would have made, but to each his own... I thought it was a good movie, overall. The original never had a "good" story anyway...
Astor Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Once upon a Time in America. Bloody long, but excellent. I think I may like it even more than The Godfather.
Negative Sun Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Working Class Hero said: Just saw Law Abiding citizen. Best movie I've ever seen in my life. What a sad, sad life you must've had so far then... Alice in Wonderland was the last one I saw, it was good fun.
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I have seen more movies this year than I have ever seen in one year. Also, I just finished the Percy Jackson series, and the labyrinth in that movie that you described in the beginning, I am wondering if it has anything to do with Daedalus and his labyrinth and the lost god of the wild.
LordOfTheFish Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 The Snake Pit Watched this last night. Back when it first came out it was one of the first movies to ever take viewers inside of a mental hospital. The story was good, and the acting was brilliant. I would suggest it to anyone who is a fan of old films.
Pavlos Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I rewatched The Wicker Man for the first time in a long while the other week; the 1973 original, not horse-face's remake. Strikes me that the issue with the Hollywood version is that they seemed to take this deeply flawed yet immensely brilliant (not to mention disturbing) film as being what it always says in synopses: a horror film. It isn't. It's about what we consider to be normal, and what people are prepared to do for their faith, be it Puritan Presbyterianism or a reconstructed 'Old Religion'. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) He's not cursing in that final scene, it's divine invocation. He's calling for help.
adamqd Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Watched Dogma Last night on TV, first time I'd seen it in years, really miss Jay and Silent Bob hehe
LordOfTheFish Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 Shutter Island and Legion. Shutter Island was great, Legion not so much.
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I just saw Prince of Persia and Eclipse. They were both pretty good, but there were flaws in them.
Astor Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Great film, even after a couple of previous viewings.
RC-1162 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Crank 2. Absolutely ridiculous story. But it had its hilarious moments .
Jaicer Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 The Last Airbender. Not as good as the cartoons but it was ok.
Ping Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Saw Ponyo today. Once again, Miyazaki graces us with a masterpiece.
Revan 411 Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Matchstick Men. Even though Ridley Scott made better films; Matchstick Men is still one of the better genre mixing films I've seen in a long time, and is also one of Nicolas Cage's better films. Most of his other films are "meh" to say the least. I've also been heavily interested in television mini-series lately. Currently, I'm following Planet Earth, and Band of Brothers; along with more traditional shows such as the sixth season of Futurama, and Doctor Who.
