Syriana

 

I'm still trying to figure out whether Bob was being paralleled with the terrorists as blindly following orders or whether, in the end, his character was acting on account of redemption of realsing the danger of 'following orders.'

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Actually I am still trying to figure the whole film. (The second part of the film I downloaded has no sound.)

Ah well the lack of sound would have a part to play in that - perhaps a suggestion to rent it with sound might be a step in remedying the confusion?

swordfish...

 

WOOO BOOBIES!

 

oh and human claymore mines are always fun.

If that was to your liking I have two words for you, Calax.

 

Monster's Ball

Yes, an excellent Halle Berry Oscar-winning performance and full frontal nudity[/szie]

What's a szie? :D

Wow, today was a good day for Sci Fi.

 

What Dreams May Come

Dragonfly

The Frighteners

K-Pax

 

 

The last two are two of my favorite movies.

Baley - I also recommend Ong-bak, which is basically a string of martial arts demonstrations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYW6MyFPz-g&search=ong-bak

 

Tony Jaa is very talented and has tremendous lower body strength. He needs a stronger upper body though.

Ong-bak

 

Plot Outline: When the head of Ong-Bak, the sacred Buddha of a poor village is stolen, the population is plunged into misery. The Buddha was the focal point of an anniversary vigil believed to bring rain to the drought-stricken area. Young Ting is selected by the villagers to travel to Bangkok and rescue the relic in time for their ceremony. Ting has an affinity with the statue as he was left on the temple steps as a baby and raised by monks, who taught him muay thai, but forbade him to use it in combat. But now he is forced to delve into a seedy underworld and try to avoid temptation.

 

I've been avoiding this flick like the claps, the hype surrounding it is incredible, well, I gave it a shot today, here are some thoughts.

 

- Tony Jaa is completely uncharismatic, sure, he's talented, he's good looking, got himself a nice guy image, I'm certain he's doing well with the ladies or the gents, I guess, he was at times fun to watch, but, and this is a big but, he bores me. His mug bores me, his gestures bore me, even his fancy moves bore me.

 

- The music was awful, just awful unengaging dreg. I think The RZA did the American score, should've looked for that version, as it stands though, the music kept me detached and staring at the clock.

 

- The story was a mess, magic Buddha heads? Give me a break. The tone was way too serious for its own good.

 

- The stunts were great, the first chase sequence, wow, just wow.

 

- Siamese hurts my ears. Probably the first foreign language to have physically bothered me. And I've watched Finnish and Hungarian flicks, for Christ's sake.

 

 

 

Factotum

 

Plot Outline: This drama centers on Hank Chinaski, the fictional alter-ego of "Factotum" author Charles Bukowski, who wanders around Los Angeles, CA trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interest, which is writing. Along the way, he fends off the distractions offered by women, drinking and gambling.

 

Yeah, I still love this film, Dillon makes for a good Buk.

 

 

The Frighteners

I enjoyed the second half of that flick.

 

Perhaps I'll check Unleashed out, Li's good for the occasional laugh and he's almost always fun to watch.

Clerks 2.

 

Just what I expected :D

If you want to see a proper and brilliant Thai movie, you should look no further than The Adventures Of Iron ****.

 

Pure genius. Really.

You are a wise man, Gajo.

K-Pax always makes me cry.

You are a wise man, Gajo.

 

It's so nice of you notice. ^_^

Clerks II

 

A++ would see again.

 

"Nobody goes ass to mouth."

Pirates of the Carribean 2

Nothing as good as the first and original, I reckon it shouldnt have ended as it did

 

Xmen3

Alright, too much death in it

Xmen3

Too many deaths? The only person I saw dying in that film was Jean(the same way Mystique 'died' in X1...) and because of Pheonix, even that can be fixed.

I was going to pounce on you, but then I realised that we don't actually see Cyke die. Neither Pyro.

That was my point.

 

Then again, we don't actually see Sabretooth and Toad die in X1 either...

I think it was "serenity" of Farscape. Good, but not great. You know the we-are-ending-the-series-so-lets-have-some-DRAMA-moments kind.

Failure to Launch

 

Pretty funny and Sarah Jessica Parker just seem to get better looking with age.

 

Just Friends

 

Crap, just awful awful crap. I took it back and punched the guy at Blockbuster for letting me rent it.

You obviously didnt watch the whole thing or pay attention

 

Charles Xavier died, and so did the cyclops dude

Sorry for the spoiler but Xavier doesn't die in X3. And we never see Cyclops die either. We assume he did, especially after what happens to Xavier but I don't recall Phoenix(not Jean) ever saying "I killed Scott" in the movie. If she does I still ask the question: How does 2 deaths = Too many(for a movie. In real life, 1 is too many, of course.)?

Not to derail your fine discussion about a lame movie, but I just found out that Mako passed away on Friday. He was pretty busy for a short little guy.
