Kor Qel Droma Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Lady In The Water - This was a fair bit more enjoyable than the Village. It still suffers from the silliness of its story and a convoluted plot, but I still didn't feel disgusted at the end, like I did at the end of the last M. Night Shamalanan movie. Oh, and Tin Cup before that. Kevin Costner is sooo cool. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 You liked Lady in the Water? I saw it when it was in theaters and almost walked out. What were those things called again? Narfs?
julianw Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 You liked Lady in the Water? I saw it when it was in theaters and almost walked out. What were those things called again? Narfs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I watched it in theater and there was a fairly large ovation from the audience. Apparently lots of people liked it that much. :crazy: The film does have some funny and touching moments.
Oerwinde Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I doesn't really count as a movie, but I just watched all of the Lost Room miniseries from Sci Fi. Awesome. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Narfs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whoa, slow down a second there Krook. I said it was more enjoyable than the Village. I never once said that I liked it. It wasn't a bad film, but I won't be watching it again any time soon, if I have a say in the matter. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Kelverin Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Donnie Darko (2001) - Great movie. (w00t) J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Diamond Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Donnie Darko (2001) - Great movie. (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only thing that bugs me about that movie is awkward mechanics of time travel.
Kor Qel Droma Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Well, I just got in from Rocky Balboa. It was much better than the fifth installment of the series. I wouldn't say it's better than any of the first three. Either way it wasn't a bad show. It seemed like the show crawled along at a pretty slow pace until they brought out the classic Rocky Training Montage. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Pidesco Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Bullets Over Broadway What did you think? Pretty good. One of Woody's best, and I'm a huge Cusack fan so that's all good. Also, as I write once in a while, I can empathize with his character. Palminteri is the coolest too. Also, the characters were generally rather funny, particularly Dianne Wiest's Helen Sinclair. Also, gawk at these links: Irish Jam, Block Party, La Guerre est finie, La Notte, Ravenous - which one you reckon I should see first, gajo? I'd say go for La Notte. You can't go wrong with Antonioni. On the other hand, Block Party is a movie I've been wanting to see for a while but haven't, so perhaps you should see that and then post here about it. ) "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
trulez Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Snakes on a Plane It was horrible shiat that I would never had watched in the first place, if it weren't Samuel L. Jackson starring the movie.
Gfted1 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Well, I guess Im the latest casualty of Lady in the Water. Even though the missus fell asleep halfway I soldiered on to the end. I hate myself on the inside for that. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

(Not because he's Jewish but because he's extra annoying) http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Tel Aviv Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Shawshank! Almost wrote shawskank, which is a... very different film.

You can't go wrong with Antonioni. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know, man, I think Bergman pegged him perfectly (God, this post is bursting with double entendres) - but even he admitted reverence for La Notte (and Blow-up). If anything, Moreau and Mastroianni are two of my favourite actors, so, yeah, I'll watch it, uh, soon. On the other hand, Block Party is a movie I've been wanting to see for a while but haven't, so perhaps you should see that and then post here about it. ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I live in a cultural wasteland, I've never really been exposed to Chappelle, and, to be honest, I'd only be interested in watching Mos Def, The Roots, and maybe Kool G. (I miss Kool G.) Gondry's okay, too, I guess, I liked Eternal Sunshine and Human Nature, but I'm not his biggest fan in the whole wide world, or anything. Irish Jam - I like how it's extremely derivative and never really interesting, engaging, or, God, incisive. To be giddy honest, it sort of bothered me, because - well - a film realistically probing race relations under those circumstances, would've been - well - kind of interesting. The score kills a few good scenes here and there; Griffin's dependable, and sorta charismatic; Anna Friel's the most beautiful woman in the world; watchable, if not good, or even halfway-decent. Ravenous - Above all else, the score excels (I'm thinking of getting it separately); everything else is engaging, fun, hilarious, and Robert Carlyle is the man.

Definately different. You should also check out The Proposition if you get the chance. Guy Pearce for teh win!!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Baley Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah, that reminds me, I really need to see it [The Proposition] on the big screen. The visuals were pretty impressive, hell, spectacular the first time around (on DVD), but I've got a hunch it's the kind of film that improves tenfold in the theatre. The score's stellar, too, and John Hurt, though terribly underused, is the man.
Dark_Raven Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest. I finally bought it on DVD and can admire Johnny Depp. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted December 23, 2006 Author Posted December 23, 2006 I saw that last weekend... it seems kinda lacking though. Probably the whole "two parter" thing
Wistrik Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Tried to watch Miami Vice... 1st thought: "what idiot decided to put dark blue text credit titles against a dark blue ocean background?" 2nd thought: "what a dark movie, I can hardly see anything." 3rd thought: "they have the "no talking, all visual w/wild music down pretty well" 4th thought: "I can't follow the plot. Is there a plot?" 5th thought: "I'm going to bed." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Odd, I don't remember those issues when it was a new series on TV back in the 80s. I think you had to be living in the 80s while watching it for it to make sense though. Lots of what goes on in those shows is outdated and soft compared to today's activities and violence.
