MOVIES

[Aaron]

Just watched Man On Fire I liked it. The ending kinda bugged me. But I liked it. It was also a slow start. However, after finishing the movie. It was just right. So, all in all. A very good movie.


Priest The Matrix and Vampires is pretty much what it is. I LOVED the idea. LOVED it. However, getting it on film kinda shitty. If you watch it thinking B-movie, it will be just right.

The Mechanic Good solid action movie. Mindless, more or less just shit blowing up, or people getting fucked up. Worth a watch. Just don't expect much out of it...

Watched a couple of movies over the weekend:

True Grit (2010) -- I enjoyed it for sure, but not as much as I was expecting to.  What's with the lack of contractions in the dialogue of that movie?  Is that supposed to be how people really spoke during that time?

Limitless -- I really really liked this movie.  I don't remember it being in theaters, but it is definitely worth checking out.  Bradley Cooper is a serious bromance for me at this point.  8-p

WATCHED 'SOURCE CODE' THE NEW DUNCAN JONES (MOON) FLICK.
Awesome. So fucking awesome. Feels like an old twilight zone ep.
definitely catch this one when it comes to netflix or a local indie cinema.

And I don't care if it is overplayed...  I love the "found footage" type of movies for some reason.

Me too.  I love stories like that in any medium.

Okay, someone who saw the latest X-Men movie please describe the opening credits sequence to me and tell me if you think it's more like a spy movie than a superhero movie.  Otherwise I'm going to continue to think Crazy Fangirl was on drugs when she compared it to Torn Curtain. 

[TPD]

i think the writers and director basically said they wanted to make a bond type movie and just did it under the guise of an xmen flick...

still haven't seen it. kinda put off with how different the continuity is...

[chimera]

Right, I read that too.  I was just all WHUT at that particular comparison and wondered if it had any basis in reality.

[r00]

I have heard good things about the new X-men movie so far, but honestly, I am waiting for the comic-geek TPD review.  That is always the selling point for me to see it in the theaters or not.  So hurry up and go see it, teeps!

[TPD]

most likely by next tuesday...

best comment i read so far was:

@ marcbernardin: January Jones couldn't act her way out of a paper bag with a flashlight and a sherpa

Yeah I like those too.  Actually my company just picked up one of those to release over here, it's called Evidence.  I had to disc check the screener for it yesterday, it starts off making you think it's going to rip off Blair Witch - the main focus of the plot is four friends go camping whilst making a documentary - but it moves into a whole different direction as soon as the encounters start. 

[r00]

awesome!  Let me know when it gets released!

Went and saw Bridesmaids last night.  Definitely not as good as the reviews were making it out to be.  Kristin Wiig can really be annoying as hell sometimes.  Once you got about 35% of the way through, it really picked up, but that first bit was just bad.

Nice to see Chris O'Dowd getting some decent screen time though.  He was by far the funniest thing about Dinner for Schmucks as well, even if he was only on screen for a few minutes.  Hopefully it'll cause more people to look into The IT Crowd as well.

watchmen shoulda stayed a comic

Yes. And I'm glad you didn't say 'graphic novel'.

I haven't gone to the movies in a while, so I'm going to see the new X-Men tonight. Should at least be fun.

Watched Gangs Of New York I only watched it cuz Danial Day Lewis is in it. And he is the shit. THE SHIT. An amazing actor.
