Death at a Funeral (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/)
Good English comedy centring on a disastrous funeral. Hardly anyone has seen or heard of this, which is a shame because it's really funny.
Death Sentence (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804461/)
I quite like revenge films and this one was actually rather good. It's a fairly standard affair - son gets killed, Kevin Bacon seeks revenge, things go from bad to worse. What sets it apart is that it remains dark throughout, without any kind of a happy ending for anyone.
Really violent too which is always a plus.
Jackass 2.5 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117523/)
Nothing special here, just a few 'stunts' that weren't good enough to be in the second film. That said, some parts are still funny and if you enjoyed either of the previous films this might be worth a watch.
Ricky Gervais Live 3: Fame (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117523/)
Possibly his best stand-up yet. If you like Gervais this is definitely worth checking out. The humour may be offensive, poor in taste and obnoxious but it's always funny.
I am Legend (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/)
Classic case of a film which is a good idea, poorly executed. Impressive scenery and special effects but the acting leaves something to be desired and as a whole the film was underwhelming.

Grindhouse: Death proof and Planet terror, Kiki's delivery service, Howl's moving castle, Reeker, Nun, Black sheep, 28 weeks later, Die Hard 1-4, Exit Wounds, The Simpsons movie, Gonin, Spider-man 3.
John Woo movies: Hardboiled, The Killer, Once a Thief, A Better Tomorrow 1-3. Gonna watch couple of Tsui Hark films soon and Clint Eastwood's newest movies are still waiting to be seen. Can't wait for Postal to appear on dvd and i' m also waiting for the Alone in the Dark 2.

I Am Legend: Agree 100% with MetalMilitia.:lol
National Treasure 2: It was shit. Nicholas Cage sucks.>:
The Blues Brothers: I got the 25th Anniversary DVD for only $8. This film still rules. Best musical ever.
Bender's Big Score: There was some funny moments. But it ran too long and had too many "plot twists" as filler (Hey guess what, Fry was Lars all along! >:) . It also made me finally long to see SpiderPig.
Cabin Boy: Hilarious. I miss Get A Life.:tear
Kentucky Fried Movie: Hit and miss, but has the best opening scene ever.
Robin Hood Men In Tights: It starts off well, but runs too long for its own good. I only watched this because it was on a double film set with Spaceballs.

I dont see a lot of movies. So here goes.
Hatchet: See it now. Great slasher flick with a good sense of humor. 4.5 out of 5 belt sanders to the face.
Keras: The Prophecy & Keras: The Revelation: If you dont like anime, dont see these. If you do like anime, dont see these unless you like all flashy CGI fight scenes and no explanation of what the fuck is going on. 1 out of 5 angry letters from Jonathan Clement.
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny: Unlike most people, i enjoyed this movie, its stupid for the sake of being stupid. 3.5 out of 5 cock push-ups.

Conan the Barbarian
Arguably the best Sword and Sworcery movie. Evar.
The Shooter
It was a decent film that was actually got the technicalities down, but a weak plot.
The Bourne Ultimatum
Liked the books better....
The Simpsons Movie

Zombi
Eye gauging scene ftw!
I Am Legend
This kinda went the road of the Planet of the Apes remake.... Shitty.

High Plain Drifter - I'd already seen the other two Clint Eastwood directed westerns (Pale Rider, Unforgiven) and naturally assumed this one would be good too and I was right. It's now my favorite revenge type movie because of how Eastwood's character actually goes about avenging himself, his such an asshole in this one.

Dead Man's Shoes is one of my favorite films. Shane Meadows latest film This is England is not so good, unfortunately. It does capture something of the 80s which is quite captivating but some parts are really uncomfortable (when the kid gets the 20+ year old girlfriend :x) and as a whole it's quite an unpleasant film.

Hell Comes to Frogtown. AWESOME 80's b-movie. It's about a man named Sam Hell (played by none other than the pro wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper) who just happens to be a fertile man in post nuclear america, getting hired by the army to save a bunch of women from a town inhabited by frog mutants. It's totally great.

This was really fucked up. It was good, but disturbing. The fact that it was based on a real torture/murder and in reality there wasn't any good characters and no one thought anything odd about the situation makes it that much worse.

I have been actively avoiding this for years, but I now give up. Without reading the books for comparison, I am watching the "Harry Potter" films, from start to their current end, starting with the first 3.
So I watched the 1st one a bit ago and thought, Goddamn! The music for this is totally ripping off "Star Wars". Then watching the credits, I saw John Williams did the score.
It it me, or is Alan Rickman the model for all "emo" kids?

Gaaaaahh....
Simpsons Movie! - I'd say it was worth all the hype. The huomr was good enough for me and it felt like a movie. That was good.
Dance of the Drunk Mantis! - The Drunken Master sequel you never heard of because it dosen't have Jackie Chan but you can get it with five other flicks for 15 bucks. Still, this film holds it's own and Sickness Boxing sounds bizarre enough to work. Just like Drunken Boxing.
A Christmas Story! - Well, YEAH!

I am Legend. A really good film, despite the ending and the Playstation baddies (i wont get into the vampire/zombie debate). Will Smith did pretty well in what was predominantly a one-man show, and that dog seriously deserves a best supporting actor nomination! I must read the book some time, because i'm a big fan of Richard Matheson's work on things like the Twilight Zone.

Transformers 2007 - Wasn't quite as bad as Protoclown said it was, but it was still pretty bad. He covered pretty much everything there was to cover. I couldn't tell what the hell was going on in any fight scene, especially the last where all the Transformers look the same and I half-expected one of them to go "Woah, I'm on your side!" If I were more of a Transformers fan that I am, I probably would have been all-out offended by this movie.
Spiderman 3 - I'm still undecided if this was worse than Transformers or not. Mary Jane is a jealous slut, Toby Maguire always had the stupidest grin on his face, and Thomas Hayden Church looked like he was trying to push his skull out of his head the entire movie. The part with Peter getting high off Venom did the impossible and managed to be even more painful to watch than the sneaking-in-the-backyard-masturbation-chat scene in Transformers. At the least the final fight scene was comprehendable, and the cookie jar comment was funny.

Street Car Named Desire - I tried really really hard to watch it but after 45 minutes it had to be turned off. Just couldn't get into it.

Das Experiment
This was best movie I have seen in ages. Feeling this movie gives is little like in Battle Royale: "What would i do in that kind situation, would my persona change"
Pat Garret and Billy the kid
In this movie was 3 good things: Blood, Bob Dylan and people talking with low voices. As a western medium. I wouldn't have liked this without those 3 things.
Conan Barbarian
Came from tv and i Watched it again. This was better i remembered. Insantly one of my favourite movies. Music and atmosphere are somethoing awesome in this movie. Real feeling of adventure.
Day after tomorrow
I needed something to watch while eating, this movie doesn't need consenration. Yeah, this doesn't give much, but as a entertaiment this is good. In movie's situation i would have sat naked outside and laughted to silly americans who freeze.

Tombstone -- i can never get enough of Val Kilmer saying "I'm your Huckleberry" :)
Faces of Death -- i remember this movie being so terrifying when i was a kid. seriously?!?! was i retarted when i was 12?!?!?!
Eastern Promises -- the 5th time i've seen it. besides naked Viggo, the movies itself is pretty good.
Meatballs -- i love movies set at summer camp, what can i say?? plus the theme song is always stuck in my head for some reason. let me ask you -- are YOU ready for the summer????
Dirty Dancing -- i'm a chick, and i miss the object of my affection (who lives in stupid Texas) and was feeling a little mopey. so sue me. this is the only "chick flick" that i approve of. seriously. and nobody puts baby in the corner. *sigh*

This movie has so much life in it. It's Most Definitely worth going to see. A lot of humor is involved but the character development really make the movie shine. A lot of people don't like Jack Black but he was really good in it. Obviously Mos Def and Danny Glover did an amazing job. I've never seen anything bad that Michel Gondry has done. To me his films are always really inspirational.

Last thing I saw was Edmond. It had William H Macy playing a somewhat similar role to that which he played in Fargo. The only problem was that this wasn't anywhere near as good a story as Fargo and didn't have as good a director or supporting cast.
It's kind of a shame because it did have potential and started out interesting but then never really went anywhere or explained exactly why the lead character was the way he was.
I also watched Hedwig and the Angy Inch, which I've seen several times before but decided to watch again. Really good film.

-Insomnium. This was very good. Al Pacino is the coolest detective in this movie. Plot was good and i liked characters. Robin Wiliams's character is discusting.
-Blade. Cool movie. Vampires are cool.
-Blade 2. Isn't so good as first one. Entertaining but nothing more. Characters are boring.
-Ghost rider. I waited this to be one of the shittiest superhero-movie. This is funny and cool movie. I liked this a lot. I laughted to stupidity of this movie.
-Big mamma's house 2. I guess immediately what is going to happen when movie started. Plot is just one big clisee. Still i liked this. Idea of transestive old bitch, who travel house to house solving broblems, is just way too genious to dislike.
-25th hour. Little indifferent. Fortunately party-scenes are good, so i got positive felings from this movie.
-Saw 4. Also indifferend. Plot sucked ass. Violence was only reason why i keeped watching this till the end.
-The Heart is Deceitful, Above All Things. This is one of my favourite movies, i watched this second time. This movie contains drugs, pedophilia, whoring and dark side of fundamentalist-christianity.
-1408. This was good. I was suprised because most of todays horrormovies are shit. Atmosphere is near Silent Hill videogames. Characters are cool.
-Final Cut. Idea for this movie is great. Plot and characters are average. Some good scenes and odd maincharacter make this film worth watching. Good film for scifi fans.
Next time i post to this tread, movies will be ultimate cool. "Look at him, he is cool and he have good taste for movies" will you all think.

28 Weeks Later: I was really disappointed with it. I wasn't expecting much, since I knew Danny Boyle wasn't involved, but I certainly expected more than this. Clumsy pacing, awful character development, cheap scares, and a completely predicatable ending. There were some tense scenes during the escape from the building towrds the end, but they hardly made a difference. I don't think the drop in quality was as bad as from Blair Witch to Blair Witch 2, but it was damned close. * out of *****
On the other hand, my kids really liked Buzz Lightyear of Star Command which we also rented.

I just finished watching Season 1 of Lost on Mars (So it isn't a movie but a series, whatever). It's cool enough to make me want to watch Season 2 anyway. DCI Hunt kicks ass, even if he is a wanker. Basically, it would probably be good enough even without the whole time travel/coma thing, but that just raises it to a whole different level.

Don't listen to her, seriously. Unless you have something against thrilling action and chase scenes, or you're a hog for traditional endings, I don't see how you could not like this movie. It's very different from most other movies, yes, but that only makes it better in my book.

My Date with Drew - I was really dissapointed with this movie, cause it sounded like it might at the least be interesting, but it was actually just really boring. I watched the whole thing, but from 10 minutes into the movie and onwards, I was thinking to myself that I'd rather be doing something else. It might have something to do with the fact that I just kind of pitied the main character for having such a pointless obsession and being an idiot.

The Orphanage & The Mist.
The Orphanage was kind of hard to keep up with because the sub-titles flash past really quickly (at least in the non-official subtitled version). Once you get used to this its a genuinely creepy film. Probably one of the better horrors/chillers I've seen in a long time.
The Mist was aright but the religious nut's ranting annoyed me more than anything. You just wanted someone to tell her to shut the fuck up so they could get on with dealing with the monsters. I didn't like the ending either but I'll spoiler tag that.
Yeah so having the main character kill everyone in the van just before the army tuns up spoilt it a bit for me. I don't mind films with non-traditional endings, in fact I prefer them more often than not. It was just pointless in this film. They could've at least tried to syphon some more fuel or make it further on foot.

Well, that they were going for a "non-traditional" ending is what I assumed, but I agree, even as such, it was dissapointing. But then again, what else were they gonna do? They pretty much had to cut off the story where it was, or keep going for another hour to wrap it up. Or completely change the script a half-hour back in the movie.

Blood Diamond is a good film but it's depressing to consider how much worse the situation is in real life. It makes you feel like a shit when the TV you're watching the film on, if converted back to money, could probably sustain several families for the rest of their lives.
Mallrats re-affirmed my dislike for Kevin Smith. I hate how everyone thinks that because he inserts a few obscure-ish words into his dialogue it makes it clever and witty. I also really hate that whenever someone mentions a Smith film they always have to talk about the director... which I've just done... but with good reason >:

Blood Diamond was tough to watch. On the one hand, I like Dicaprio and his performance was awesome and a treat to watch, but on the other hand, it was just another politically attention seeking movie. It ended up being much too sappy and depressing and "feed the children"-esque to be enjoyable.
I always liked Mallrats though. But then again, the last time I saw it I was 17. Still, in my head, it's part of the 50% of decent films that Kevin Smith has made along with Clerks and Dogma.

You need to watch Ninja III: The domination. The opening 10 minutes are about a ninja who wrecks a golf course, takes on the LAPD. Get's shot fifty hunnerd times, at close range bye a cigar smoking shotgun cop and other cops in a circle, gets up and goes on another rampage. After that some 80's jazzercising comes in.

This one didn't have Michael Dudikoff play the main role but thank god Steve James repeats his role as "Powerhouse" Jackson.
Although Jackson's clothing has been flamboyant ever since the first movie, and he has had the habbit of tearing away his own clothes while fighting, he somehow managed to top that. This time his clothing is so gay that even Bennett would have a hard on. And he dualwields swords!
I found this one to be somewhere between ok and bad. It's not even close to the level of the previous ones, but it has it's moments. Typical bad-good movie I'd say.
The absolute gem of this movie was the part where we learn that even ninjas wear white underwear.

AvP2:Requiem
Well, where do I begin? I've always been gay for predators because of their equipment and nature, and I gotta admit that the movie wasn't a dissapointment on that area. It was great to see one "professional" predator instead of the 3 wussies we had in the first movie.
But who the hell cares about people in this kind of a movie? Hell, I don't watch these movies because I'm interested to see drama or who will survive, I watch these to see people die when caught on the crossfire. I root for the monsters. So if they'll ever make AvP3, just give the humans smaller role, because I'm quite sure that most of the people, just like me, want to see Aliens fight against Predators and don't give a damn about humans. Unless the humans are marines or something like that.
And what the hell is it with the idea of having all the huge fights in dark? Is it really that hard to have aliens fight against predators in daylight?
But hey, it was way better than the 1st one.

This may sound odd, but which "The Shining"? I like the original with Jack Nicholson but, the movie has been, unfortunately re-made.
Seems like everything is getting re-made, so I innocently have to ask.
Greedo NEVER shot first.

Wasn't there also a version that was "more loyal" to the King's novel?
After seeing Jack Nicholson in the role, can't really imagine anyone else as fitting for it.

I actually watched both Crank and Shoot 'Em up recently, one yesterday and the other today, and yes, they DO both kick so much ass it's mind-boggling. They're both hilarious in their own, different way, and have simply amazing action scenes to go with them. Which is a good thing, seeing how they take up quite a bit of the movie.
Like in Shoot 'Em Up, when they guy is holding the shells between his hands and then sticks his hand into to the fire to make them go off. That was fucking genius.
Or in Crank, when the guy with the chopped off hand tries to punch the main character with his arm stump and hits the trash bag, making him scream in agony? I laughed my ass off at that.
Does anybody know any more movies like this?

the mist
unfortunately the ending to this movie was SPOELED for me already so i was kind of mad @ it, but i gotta say
i really enjoyed it when the dude shoots the religious chick in the head, a lot. plus did they really have to pull a m. night shanana and have a big twist ending, couldn't they have left it ambiguous like in the book? it's kind of weird, because you expect a movie version's ending to be LESS depressing than the book's
night of the living dead (savini remake)
man this movie is pretty cool! that barbara chick is a real hot babe, and i really liked the twist ending in this movie better than the one in the mist ;) ;)

executioneer: that's the same problem I have with all of the American adaptations of Asian movies, until I finally stopped watching them altogether (The Grudge 2, what a crapfest).
All of the Asian movies were dark and had ambiguous endings and then in the American version they usually came in and effed with it and made these big dumbassed SPELL IT OUT FOR EVERYONE endings that completely ruined them.
The point to so many Asian extreme horror movies is that there aren't always happy endings, or even anything remotely well-defined, and that added to the general feeling of darkness and doom that made them so effective...

well i was actually kind of mad that it was actually darker than the book's ending, at least for the survivors of the food store- humanity in general gets a more hopeful ending, and the lady who leaves to find her kids turns out ok, but why the hell did they decide to suicide? why fight so fucking hard to get away from danger only to blow your own brains out? did they lose the fight or flight response because there wasn't something actively chasing them, or what? fucking retards

Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
This is one of those movies that I don't actively dislike, but was bored nearly the entire time I watched it. Which means that yes, for me, it's a bad movie; I just can't say why.
It wasn't even because I knew what was gonna happen (England isn't catholic after all) but somehow, I just really didn't care about anything that happened. And I even thought Cate Blanchett acted well, but that didn't help save the movie for me.
Kitsa
May 6th, 2008, 10:55 AM
I thought Cate Blanchett acted well, and I thought that it was a passable continuation, but I liked the first Elizabeth much better.
I tried to tell myself throughout that Elizabeth I became a less likeable person with age, and that they were just portraying that. It was more or less historically accurate, give or take a few details. But like you, it also struck me as a very meh movie.

Balls of Fury - There was a lot of apparent comedy in it, i.e. nutshots, blatant deaths and the like. The best parts of the movie were the subtle humor they threw in that didn't really stand out.

Herbie: Fully Loaded
Okay, up front, right from the start: I didn't hate Lindsey Lohan in this movie. Hell, her performance wasn't exactly Oscar worthy, but it's not like she had much to work with, and she got the job done. Except for all the times in the beginning of the movie she screamed. Then I wanted to stab her in the guts with a rusty pitchfork, but that's how I always react to high pitched girly screams, so no surprise there.
Now, about the actual movie. A fitting one phrase summary would be "Harmless, nonsensical, completely predictable and moderate fun". Really, I actually didn't mind watching this movie. As long as you don't think too much and allow yourself to laugh at the stupid jokes (or just the stupidity), it's actually quite enjoyable. It may have helped that I was slightly intoxicated.
Also, while I've heard of the other Herbie movies, I've never watched any of them and don't know wether this movie is some kind of insult to the "Great Herbie Legacy" or not. If it is, or if it even exists...who cares.

Bable - It was quite...different, and moved along a bit slowly at times, but if you don't mind either of those two, then you should definitley watch it.
Also, I was positively surprised to see big Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett acting in a movie like this. I don't know if this movie had a bigger budget than you'd expect, or if Brad and Cate just agreed to a lower fee than they'd usually charge.

Tooth & Nail from the 8 movies to die for series. Most of them are pretty decent. Set around 2015, dystopian setting. The human race has to restart. Apocalypse here is caused lack of crude oil.

Watched two movies yesterday: Be Kind, Rewind and Surviving the Game.
Be Kind, Rewind had its moments but was overall a little bit of a letdown. Jack Black is funny, but it seems like he's always more or less the same character. Mos Def was surprisingly good, though.
I'd been wanting to see Surviving the Game ever since I heard it was being made- I love the short story. They took a few liberties and there were more than a few plotholes and production goofs, but what the hell. Gary Busey is legitimately scary and I don't even think he was acting.
