OK, thought this might be kool, since the movie critics are douchebags and only like those slow, artsy movies. When you see a new movie out in the theater, post a review here and rate it.

I'll start:

I saw Firewall last weekend. Harrison Ford never dissapoints. The movie reminded me of Ransom in a way, a lot of action. It was somewhat predicatable, but still very enjoyable. Paul Bettany played an excellent bad guy, very calm and cool.

I recommend the movie.....8/10

I saw Matchpoint by Woody Allen last week. I am a huge Woody Allen fan, and I thought this movie was great. It's a straight drama/suspense film, not funny at all....but it was well acted and well written. And Scarlett Johansen is totally hot and has like 18 make-out scenes. If you've seen Crimes and Misdemeanors, it's like that...except without Woody Allen and Alan Alda. And if you haven't seen Crimes and Misdemeanors, it's ****ing funny and you should see it.

I saw Sympathy for Lady Vengeance last week. Very similar to Oldboy. It has a more normal structure, but it has the same quirky humour and is equally aimed squarely at adults. Apart from the shocks and the laughs there's a strong story running through it that tugs at the heartstrings.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hugely entertained, and I didn't come away from the cinema feeling like I had just wasted two hours of my life (as is the case with standard popcorn movies). Classy entertaining revenge movie. I highly recommend it.

Took some kids to see nanny mcphee and i was expecting to be bored to death but it was suprisingly a well done movie.

Chrozzo, awesome topic.



I saw "Freedomland" two weekends ago. Worst movie ever. Apparently the book is good, and the actors try to do a good job (Samuel L. Jackson mofo's), but the movie is so poorly directed it's obvlivious to the racial points it's trying to make.

I saw The Libertine on Friday night. It was interesting. Not nearly as racy or controversial as I expected. I was a little disappointed in that but overall a really good movie if you like period pieces.

I saw V for Vendetta this weekend... and I write movie reviews for a local paper... I'll post my review later.

I thought Matchpoint was excellent as well.

Let me start out my saying that going to a movie is WAY too expensive in CA.

I took this ***** to see Failure to Launch. What a shitty movie! Worst part: That **** liked it! There were approximately 87 scenes were someone is "comically" bitten by an animal. I’m never seeing that skank again.




Yeah, Woody Allen is the greatest.

Yeah, Failure to Launch looked really good until I saw that every single critic in the world hated it. I might Netflix it, but I'll save the $30 it would cost to see it in the theatres.

any movie with natalie portman = great movie

Mars Attacks! sucked balls. Tim Burton (who I hate anyway) at his absolute worst.

The Hills Have Eyes is probably the worst movie I have ever seen.

The last movie I saw in the theatres was When a Stranger Calls.

I usually despise horror movies (especially the mass-produced, make a quick profit ones that are coming out in spades these days) but this one was actually pretty entertaining. Every time I thought I would catch the filmmakers in a terrible horror movie cliche' they didn't take the bait, which made for an entertaining experience because you were always on your toes.

The acting wasn't even half-bad, for a bunch of canned "scary-movie" actors.

I'd give it a 7/10, worth seeing for sure, but not necessarily in a full price theatre (which you wouldn't anyway, as it came out 2 months ago).

Last movie I saw was Munich.

Good stuff. That is all.



But really, I want a yay or nay on V for Vendetta.... although I'll probably see it anyway.

I don't even need a review, just whether it was good.

I saw Saw II yesterday. Great movie.

I'm also going to watch Walk The Line for the third time sometimes this week. Probably one of my new favorites.

And wasn't "When a stranger Calls" based off of a Campfire Story?

That's because it was a remake.

she was in that? I thought it sucked too, but if she was in it, then it was great. Its science.



and I haven't watched any of the new remakes of horror films, Stranger or Hills, because I haven't seen the originals yet for some crazy unknown reason (I like old horror movies)

And anyone wanna make a bet on somebody remaking "Last House on the Left" next? It seems like it would be the next one they'd make.

On which point? I don't follow, usually remade horror movies are 10x worse than original (not necessarily *the* original) ones.

Rented over the weekend...

Must Love Dogs- (gf rented) and even she hated it
Diane Lane is always a hottie but the movie was totally pointless.

Two for the Money ( my pic) and even I hated it
Geez a Pacino flick about gambling. It was really bad, never went anywhere and again was totally absurd and pointless. Even great acting couldn't help the movie

Yeah, she was in it (President Nicholson's daughter) and science has failed you here. Absolutely awful movie.

Failure to Launch at no point looked good, ever, at all.

Sarah Jessica Parker hasn't made a good movie since possibly Ed Wood (which I haven't seen),

I think he meant that it didn't have all the silly cliche's that most of the horrible horror movies made today do. Thats what I figured he meant anyways.

What? WHAT? WHAT!!!??!!! Holy hell! My world is falling apart. You actually liked that movie? Seriously, one of my least favorite horror movies of all time. I don't even know where to begin with my critique of this thing. Just awful all around. I really expected you to have better taste than this. I'm extremely disappointed.

Not everyone can be as perfect as you Turd

Well, yeah if you remake it with horrid actors and try to change a bunch of things.

I meant in the sense that you didn't get lame story stuff and corny lines, because it probably followed the original pretty well.

But I havent' seen it, so I dunno.

munich = good speilberg "serious" movie. some cool killing scenes. really solid all around. i would recomend seeing it, but it is not his best movie ever like some people say.

good night good luck = a little boring but a well made and well acted movie. not much action, but i would see it if you arnt an action freak

walk the line = cliched (sp?), same story that weve seen a million times, just with a different person. too much time spent watching the guy singing. but again, a well made movie with excellent acting.

syriana = a little confusing but a pretty good political thiller.

Saw this one recently. It's not a new movie, but an old one on DVD.

Ultimately a boring documentary that would probably cater better to outdoor/nature types, or documentary watchers, but a fascinating, chilling character study nonetheless:

Grizzly Man.

Some say poker is a bad obsession--maybe, maybe not. We, who play to pay the bills, know better than that.

But for those who think too much poker is unhealthy, after watching Grizzly Man, even marathon 24 hour+ sessions seem normal and even healthy.

It's about a guy who lived with grizzly bears and filmed them for 13 summers, (two month stretches) armed with no weaponry of any kind. He ran well for 13 years (he was the Phil Ivey of living with grizzly bears), until the 13th year. The main thing you are thinking throughout the movie, with all due respect to the man and his life's work, this guy was the biggest donkified degenerate action junkie gambler of all time, and the ultimate tragedy of it was not that he gambled away his own life--playing the long volatile odds set by nature--but that he gambled away his girlfriend's life as well.

Check it out on DVD, if you don't mind being bored for stretches, and slightly horrified for other stretches; it's interesting.

I saw Grizzly Man and was pretty disappointed. There wasn't much to tell. Guy had a crap life, found purpose living with the bears, but was nuts and deluded and was eventually eaten. We found that out within the first 20 minutes and then it was just repeated over and over for the rest of the movie. The death audio would have saved it though.

Meh, I almost universally hate horror movies, but I can see how you wouldn't like this one if you enjoy the genre. I hate the genre, so a horror movie that isn't like the rest of them agrees with me...

I took my son to see 8 Below. My mom told me how awesome and inspiring it was. I usually love those kind of movies.

Anyway I thought it was OK at best. I won't spoil it for ya but the middle hour of the movie was pretty boring.

Saw Freedomland over the weekend... horrible flick.

They make the trailer seem like it's an actual thriller, but it turns out to be a snore fest.



I actually enjoyed When a Stranger Calls. I was a big fan of the original (Actually part 2 more so then the original) but I decided not to draw comparisons and just take it in.

It was a popcorn flick in my mind, it's not an oscar winning movie but it was more entertaining then a lot of crap out there. The could've picked a much better lead role in my mind though.

A friend of mine rented Must Love Dogs and I actually enjoyed it. However, this could stem from the fact that the last movie she picked out was some Cameron Diaz movie "In Her Shoes" or something like that....and that was absolutely horrid.

I saw The Proposition last night. Australian cowboy movie written by Nick Cave. It's really good. Good story, some great photography and a great soundtrack. It's really lyrical but has some good gore and violence.

V for Vendetta was great...really cool flick. And natalie portman is hot...even if she has a shaved head for half of the movie.

I thought it was one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. It isn't full of "action"--but it really will get you worked up. It really gets your revolutionary juices flowing. While the political statement was none too subtle, i think it makes an unbelievable point, regardless of your political leanings. I'd like to hear what some conservative folks think of this movie--considering that i'm sure many of them saw this as an attack on what the GWB administration is doing. Not that what GWB is doing is to this extreme---but many who question his actions are fearfull of the road we're going down.

Saw Inside Man yesterday.

It was an awesome movie. If you like cop movies or capers, this is one to see. Quite a tist and great acting by all.

10/10

I also heard it was pretty good, probably going to see it later today.

The most under-rated and under-appreciated movie of the last year without a doubt was MUNICH.

I think most folks avoided it because it looks to long winded, or political or boring.

Hardly.

It has all of those elements but that scene on the House boat with that whore double agent was one of the most chillling and cold blooded murder scenes I can ever remember in a film. Just incredible. And there were many moments like that.

The main point of the film is looking back at a government assassin and how the actions of his past is now destroying him emotionally.

It is without a doubt one of Speilbergs best films.

V for Vendatta surprised me. I really liked it. Good escapist fare.

If I may suggest a good rental it would be SIDEWAYS.

I thought I was gonna hate this but ended up laughing my a ss off. Paul Giammati is GOLD. Is there a better actor in his class?

And His lug of a buddy is one of the best charactors in a film in a long time. What a riot.

I really don't see what is so great about V for Vendetta, I thought it was aweful.



That whole trailer scene was disgusting.

My good friend, who is a girl, started crying during that scene.

Then we left.

SAMARA - nice film ...

I saw The Ringer. It is what it is.

yes, Munich was very good and it was one of Speilbergs best. i suggest you all see Schindler's List if you want to see Speilbergs very best.

agreed

anything Spielberg touches is gold

well, most of it.

Went to see Inside Man over the weekend.

It was a decent action movie, you would never, ever, ever know that it's a Spike Lee movie unless you paid attention to the credits or someone told you. I think Spike has finally realized that it's ok to make movies that reach a wide audience every now and then, rather than making the same "It's hard out there for a person of color" arty movies.

Anyway, the story was good, the acting was superb (Clive Owen makes an amazing bad guy) and there was some decent action. Jodie Foster's character had the feeling of "Jodie Foster wants to be in this movie, we have to expand the role significantly". There just didn't seem to be much point in having her in the movie, but her character is the 3rd largest role.

I think the filmmakers went in the wrong direction with Denzel's character, or they should have used a different actor. He's playing a film noir type detective mixed with Alonzo from Training Day. Should have gone one way or the other, but they tried to meet in the middle. I think a different actor in the role would have been the right move, but no one (especially Spike Lee) is going to say no to Denzel. The movie would have been much better with a young rookie detective thrown into a situation he couldn't control (like a Taye Diggs or Josh Hartnett) rather than trying to fit the role around Denzel as a veteran detective who is the last choice to be running the show.

Clive Owen was easily the best part of the movie. Perfect casting and excellent acting throughout. He's playing the villain, but not really in a villainous way. More like a guy with a goal who is willing to use any means necessary to achive the goal.

Definitely worth seeing, but not necessarily a must see at the full price theatre.

7/10

I really want to see inside man and thank you for smoking

yea a lot of people have been telling me inside man was better than they expected.
