CReds14 Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Just looked at this topic, don't know what's been talked about. Last two movies I saw were 300 and Stranger than Fiction. The greater the ignorance, the greater the dogmatism.-William Osler, 1902
astr0creep Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Every woman out there that expects a man to spend 3 months salary on a diamond ring, for any reason, should watch Blood Diamond. I was especially excited about Archer's explanation of the diamond industry to Maddie. I was aware of this for a while but I never thought anyone would be gutsy enough to put it on film for the masses. I hope people take notice, remember and do something about it. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Gfted1 Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Commando! With Freddie Mercury as Bennett! Love the introduction, a moist Schwarzenegger manhandling plastic logs. That film is so homoerotic. Bennett is the Freddy Murcury, lead singer from Queen?!?! I cant believe Im just learning that. IIRC, Bennett was kinda buff in the movie and I thought Freddy was a frail-ish fellow.

LadyCrimson Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Flags of Our Fathers. I like Clint as a director, but this one falls a little flat - mostly the characterization is a bit lacking, so I'm left with the "don't care much" feeling during supposedly big or touching moments. It's good enough, tho, that I'll be curious when the 2nd film comes out. “Things are as they are.

Darth Drabek Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah, it was a "Stone Cold Crazy" rip-off of Freddie's style. Still his character really brought "A Kind of Magic" to the screen. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 I bet by the end of the show he was thinking 'Who wants to live forever?'. I caught V for Vendatta again the other night. Natalie Portman is hawt with a shaved head. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Omelette Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I saw 300. Completely not historically accurate on some spots, but Frank Miller correct. Recently saw Casino Royale. What a good film and an equally good James Bond. Daniel Craig gets my stamp of approval.
astr0creep Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 ROCKY BALBOA I really liked it. Reminiscent of Rocky 1. Some very cheesy scenes and dialog at some times but overall a great film. I didn't expect it to get to me the way it did. The speech he gives to his son Peter( ) pulled a tear out of my eye. And the fight must be one of the best filmed boxing match ever. Stallone was in great shape, showing some very decent acting chops. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Pidesco Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Pan's Labyrinth Pretty damn good. I wonder how they did the scene with the stitches.

theslug Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Saw Apocalypto. I gotta say I was pretty stunned. Who would of guessed that such a comedic but insane begining would end with so many people dieing. Although the second part of the movie was having synching issues it was a good movie. Pretty good action and such but I was a little disappointed in how the story turned and the ending was a little weak and in my opinion didn't necessarily fit. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

Dark_Raven Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Who cares. A lot of meatheads take steriods. Watched Stargate last night. Just awesome. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Pidesco Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 The Painted Veil It's all about the leads, and Watts is much hotter as a brunette than as a blonde. Are Norton and Watts an item in real life?

Kelverin Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Syriana (2005) Once all the globe hoping stops, a pretty good movie. Depressing but well acted. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
theslug Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Watched Lucky Number Slevin. I was actually surprised that it was such a good movie. Nice cast, nice plot, even though the twist was a bit predictable, Bruce Willis breaking a dudes neck hardcore was probably one of the most awesome things hes ever done. Also lucy lu is pretty hot and a blonde chick with nice boobs getting sexed up was cool too.

ghosta Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) I've only watched some older films recently Monty Python's King Arthur and the Holy Grail Children of Dune Joffe's version of The Scarlet Letter The only movie in theatures right now that I want to see is 300. I can't wait for Spiderman 3 to come out. Edited March 24, 2007 by ghosta Your not all ways being honest when your telling the truth. Everything slows down when water's around.
