the watchmen man I love this movie!
The Shining.
Still fantastic, Kubrick is my favorite director. Too bad he died.
Funny shit! When the credits were rolling, my dad come in and asked if he could borrow The Shining.
Nosferatu . . .Quote:

Adventureland - Awesome, total John Hughes worship in a very good way. Touching, and at times truly funny.
I Love You, Man - I love Paul Rudd, but this movie was shit until Jason Segel showed up (which reminds me, I still have yet to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall...). Ended up being pretty great, funniest of the bunch.
Observe & Report - Meh. It was okay, but I guess dark comedys aren't really my bad. Although, Danny McBride and Patton Oswalt had some very appreciated cameos.
Punisher Warzone
Comments:
Everything a First/Third person shooter should be.
Writing = Meh...:|
observe and report. It was just above 'meh' level until the last 10 or 15 minutes and all my buddies and I were laughing our asses off.
Punisher WarZone was hilarious.
Just watched I Love You, Man. I thought it was quite good.
And VinnyT, there's another teeny tiny cameo by David Krumholz (aka "Bernard") in there for you. :D It's interesting that he was nearly leading-man material in the 90's but now you're lucky to get one line out of him.
Recently, I watched A Clockwork Orange for the second time. It's one of the best movies ever.
I also watched Streets Of Fire for some days ago, not that good but it's easy to see that Final Fight was based on that movie from the beginning.
ponyo by hayao miyazaki presented by disney saw this with my anime club and a bunch of kids-we all had a great time truly an excellent movie!
Whats Ponyo about anyway?
I'm hearing Little Mermaid comparisons, but that isn't deterring me a bit. I'm probably gonna go see it this weekend.
Thursday is this:
*Image turned into a clever "Don't steal our shit" image and It's gone now*
And I'm trying to fill a newer friend in on movies that hed love and never got too see, so it's been a week of Falling Down, LA Confidential, and today should be Momento.
WTF!? Dude that huge picture is so damn annoying and pointless.
Anyway, I've just seen Live Free or Die Hard yesterday. Great movie except how they ended up getting the bad guys in the end. Looks like they ran out of jawusum ideas.
I saw Mercury Rising. It's not as jawusum as Bruce Willis's Die Hard movies but it was a decent movie to watch. That huge pic is still annoying me. :roll:
It's based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, not the Disney movie:)Quote:

Only time will tell if it will remain my favorite movie of all time (supplanting Blade Runner), as I'll need to give it repeat viewings, but it is undoubtedly in my top 5.
Saw a live showing of Rifftrax doing Plan 9 From Outer Space. It was fucking hilarious!
I've never seen Momento, but I did see Memento twice years ago (forwards and backwards).Quote:

Just watched silence by Ingmar Bergman.
I just saw Southland Tales. It felt like a bad dream. I am not sure what the hell I just watched. I usually like weird fucked up stuff but this one didn't sit so well.
Southland Tales was poop. And I know it was supposed to be poop, but that doesn't fix anything.
The Rock and Sean William Scott drive up to a house to act like they're shooting Amy Poehler, but before they can Jon Lovitz comes in and shoots her in the face for real.
Oh yeah, and Christopther Lambert gets his ass handed to him by the annoying female cheerleader from SNL.
Great disturbing movie! :)Quote:

It actually starts out really really disturbing and I considered turning it off about half way through, but I'm glad I didn't bc in the end everything comes together amazingly. Some of the violence in it is very powerful stuff, which I think is good to see in films sometimes, it doesn't glorify violence the way a lot of movies do. Real life violence is a pretty terrible thing and the film definitely portrays it that way. Basically just don't watch it with your Grandma/kids/boss or anyone else who is easily offended. EDIT- Actually I take it back, you might want to stay away from this one, it will turn your pubes white it is so shocking.Quote:

I'll check it out.Quote:

I watched it with a buddy of mine in a midnight screening, with about 16 people in the audience (inclunding my friend and me). Fifteen to twenty minutes in, the first people started to leave. In the end, there were only about 8 or 9 people remaining.
Good movie, but pretty hard to stomach.
By the way, saw "Moon" the day before yesterday, and yesterday I went into District 9. "Moon" was pretty good Sci Fi, pretty on the "heady" side though. Receommended if you're in a rather thoughtful mood.
District 9, however... Movie of the year! Definitely!
I just saw EXTRACT last night. I really enjoyed it! In terms of Mike Judge movies, it was better than IDIOCRACY but not quite as good as OFFICE SPACE.
Cthulhu the movie. It was... okay. The jump cuts are frequent, there's no decent pacing or sense of time passage, and it's kind of a mess to watch.
Max Payne. Complete crap. The Houser brothers should be beaten severely for STEALING the Max Payne franchise from Sam Lake. I thoroughly expect Max Payne 3 to be the same level of crap, because Rockstar is not known for storytelling. And Mark Whalberg should be barred from acting ever again. Then again, at least he's no longer rapping.
class reunion massacre
nekromantik
big bad wolf
it s horror all the way
Last movie I fully watched to its end was COMMANDO!!!.
This movie has aged greatly, the one liners are hilarious, the action is great, it has really big goof ups (a car has a crash, next scene it's perfectly normal) which adds to it's campiness and makes it more enjoyable, and Bennett is one of the best villains I've ever seen in a movie. I'm definately gonna watch it again next time it's on tv.
Snuck into this after I saw District 9, and I pretty much agree with this although I don't think Idiocracy is comparable at all. Extract and Office Space are very subdued whereas Idiocracy just punched you in the face with its delivery. Although I did enjoy all three of his films. Overall, I actually loved Extract (though I do have a slight man-crush on Jason Bateman...).Quote:

The Hurt Locker. Nuff Said.
Been in the mood for Halloweeny kinda movies lately. Tonight was a deep sea double header starting with John Carpenter's The Fog and then followed by Humanoids from the deep. I first watched the fog a few years ago, and it didn't really leave much of an impression on me. I liked it a lot more this time for some reason. The music is great and overall atmosphere of the sea side town is really nice and appeals to my inner pirate.
Saw 9.
In theater 9
Paid $9
With 9 people
at 9:30.
It wasn't even 90 minutes long, but had some awesome animations. The ending was kinda underwhelming.
I saw Battlefield Earth and it makes me want go back in time and kill L. Ron Hubbard.
I'm watching Doctor X, an old 30s horror film. Eventually I'll get to watching some Super Dimension Fortress Macross, and It Came From Hollywood!
Before that I saw Fist of the North Star (anime film not live action with Gary Daniels) and Them! as well as Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II.
