LadyCrimson Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Started weak and has improved with every episode. That's what I thought of it too...by the end it became my favorite show of the year. “Things are as they are.

Wistrik Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Kingdom of Heaven Turned out better than I thought, and reminded me much of my experiences in Age of Kings (Age of Empires 2). Plus those siege towers were exactly like the ones in NWN2, though I didn't get the option of pulling them over on their sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelverin Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Derailed (2005) - Predictable thriller. With many twists and turns, that most people will see a mile away. That being said, for some reason I liked it. If you have 2 hours to kill you could do worse. BTW as good as Daniel Craig was Casino Royale, Clive Owen would have been perfect for the role. Too bad he refused it. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time, Bloom is not just a Legolas with dark hair and human ears. He's the one that really makes the movie shine, althoug there's the bad part here and there. Oh, and the movie also has one of the most beautiful Hollywood actresses ever. I finally saw Leone's The good, the bad and the ugly for the first time. And I can safely say that it's one of the first movies that really deserves all the praise it's hailed with. I started wathcing it, expecting to be bored to tears, but the characters, the looks and, surpisingly enough, the sounds really carried the movie through. I'll definetly watch it again. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

astr0creep Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Eragon. Better than expected. Can be summed up with three words: Lack of Experience. The editing for example is severely lacking in the first half, with no scene transitions and some dialogue that can be heard but not seen... when the camera is pointed at the speaking character. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelverin Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The Third Man (1949) - Exceptional film. Post war Vienna almost is a character in and of itself. Zither music of Anton Karas is another highlight. The sewer action sequence is first rate, one of the best I have ever seen. Cinematography and direction are excellent.

Hurlshort Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I've warmed up to Clerks 2 since I watched it last week. I find myself reciting certain lines after watching it once, and that means it was a good movie. I watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby last night. It was decent, a few laughs here and there. I was shocked that Ali G aka Sascha Baron Cohen aka Borat was the villian. Surprisingly, I thought the funniest guy was the one from Boogie Nights, John C. Reilly. Will Farrell got a bit hard to watch after awhile. I think he's better as a support actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I caught the last hour of Wimbledon last night. I didn't think too much of it. Then I watched John Tucker Must Die. If I was ten, no fifteen years younger I think it might have been a fair bit funnier. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) - an absolute classic Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run) - smokin' Franka Potente narrates, sings and runs & smokes and runs & rawks & smokes some more Tristram Shandy - it's neither Stoppard nor Sterne but it's passably clever In the Bathtub of the World - dysfunction according to Caveh Zahedi. Oy. Junebug - disassociation as theme and experience Zardoz - Ridiculous, cheesy & overlong. In other words, it's a '70s scifi classic. P.S. Zardoz stars a young and freckled Sara Kestelman (the voice of Kreia in KotOR2) in all her naked glory. It also features a mind-bendingly gorgeous Charlotte Rampling (one of the most beautiful women who ever lived), but these beauties pale next to the blinding sun of Sean Connery's dayglo underwear. Connery as a pistol-packin' neanderthal assassin prancin' around in in a bright orange thong? God, what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" The 1990 remake of Night Of The Living Dead is on now. It's just plain bad. Right before that, I watched the Postman. Meta may flame me, but I'm still a Kevin Costner fan.

Hurlshort Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 The Postman is actually my favorite Post-Apoc. movie of all time. People tend to bash it more because it came out around the time of Waterworld than based on its own merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
