SteveThaiBinh Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Part 6 Last page And I completely agree about Stranger Than Fiction. I liked it a lot, and I was really surprised to like Will Ferrell, since usually I don't so much. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Volourn Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Miami Vice - Completely different vibe than I expected or from the tv show. Much darker, and less humourless yet 100% better. Good, 'quiet' acting. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astr0creep Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 So Miami Vice sucks. Noted. Thanks Volo. Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace + Making Of Probably one if not the best Making Of ever made. This film changed the perception I had of GL, from a sort of Demi-God to a simple child playing with toys. I particularly enjoy the scene in which he shows Steven Spielberg around his lot and this life size model of a droid is just standing there in the middle of a huge parking lot. George then proceeds in describing what this thing is, what it does in the film, why its arm is broken off. Steven tries to fix it by inserting the hand end into the shoulder and George then takes the arm out of Spielberg's hands and shows him how its done. Like a kid showing off a new toy. Hilarious. But the entire documentary is actually very interesting and not completely filled with geeks modeling on computers. It is a real documentary on the making of a Star Wars film, not just a promo video like what we usually get. Its actually much better then Ep1... http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Spiderman 3. It was good. Some loose ends from the other two movies closed. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Just watched Ghostbusters. Still good, I forget how much of the films I like that I steal dialogue from. Then, because I am studying astronomy and planetary bodies including asteroids, I watched Deep Impact.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Just watched da vinci code. Boring movie, book is better. I need to go watch V for Vendetta. My favorite movie of all time...

Kelverin Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 So Miami Vice sucks. Noted. Thanks Volo. That movie was TERRIBLE. I was embarrassed to even mention I watched it. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hannibal Rising. Interesting backstory on Hannibal Lecter. Not bad, but not near the other three films. Of course, no Anthony Hopkins will do that to a film. It was odd not having a hero to play opposite Hannibal, and it was hard for me to put Hannibal in the do-gooder role.

astr0creep Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ghost Rider A strange rip off of Terminator 2 and Blade 1. Some nice parts but mostly very dissapointing. They could've exploited his chain weapon a lot more and I found it very pretentious to announce not just a sequel but a full series of this garbage with the half-assed ending. Oh yeah and the acting sucked really bad. 2 good things about Ghost Rider: Eva Mendes' ultimate cleavage shots and Sam Elliot. If I was gay and if he was Canadian(and gay), I'd have married Sam Elliot. I love that guy. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theslug Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I don't think it's a coincidence that 99% of movies derived from comic books are terrible. With that being said I haven't watched anything new to add. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I've been on a bit of a movie binge while my internet has been down. Today it was Goodfellas. I never tire of this show. Yesterday was Nightwatch. Good, but the movie just felt like it was missing something that would have made it great. I wish I could put my finger on what that was. Jaguars4ever is still alive.

astr0creep Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Ghost Rider is based on a comic book. Oh so you mean the Marvel intro similar to that of X-Men, Spiderman, Hulk, Daredevil, Electra and Fantastic Four was a hint that Ghost Rider is a comic book? Yes, I know what its based on. But the film did not make me want to go to a comic book store to hunt down Ghost Rider comics, nor did it make me want to know more about the franchise which, in my eyes, makes this movie a complete failure. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr insomniac Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) I've been re-watching some animated films this past week. First it was The Incredibles, then Shrek 1 and 2, and last night was Finding Nemo. The Seagulls always crack me up, what can I say. Oops, also re-watched Batman Begins. Tonight I'm going to begin watching Band of Brothers. Edited June 9, 2007 by mr insomniac I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I had a craving to watch Undercover Brother again today... but instead I bought season 4 and 5 of Stargate SG1. As well as Season 1 part 1 of TMNT(2003 version) and the new Highlander animated film by the guy who did Ninja Scroll. All I know about that one is that the trailer was cool.

LadyCrimson Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 "Crank" - absolutely ludicrous. But it did have a few really funny 'action-humor' moments. Jason's fun, but Transporter was much better. "The Good Shepard" - good acting, nice production, but ... zzzzzzzzzzz “Things are as they are.

Volourn Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 "Crank" - absolutely ludicrous." You win. I wanted to really like this movie. I was looking for a good Speed like mvoie; but didn't. The acting here was atrocious, and I actually like the two leads usually.. not this time.. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

theslug Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) A History of Violence - Pretty sweet movie but suffers from some glaring flaws. Action was really good (When the dude gets shot in the head and exits out his face and he takes a bloody gasp of air, amazing), can't say there was really anything wrong with it except some slight I'm-a-bad-ass-juggernaut-syndrome. Then the reaction of the family. That kind of pissed me off but other than that movie was pretty cool. 8/10 Edited June 12, 2007 by theslug 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.

Anyway, borrowed Bloodrayne from a guy at work who described it as "Eye rape". I thought it was hilarious. The awful effects, the ridiculously bad acting.
