PoorLepRecon Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine Really well done, even with some missing CGI... Piracy..... :shame: The last movie I saw was Stargate: Continuum. It was stupid, it involved time travel that was not thought out at all, so from like 20 minutes in I was angry at the writers for including time travel.

How2PK Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Donnie Darko I've seen this film a couple of times, but it was years ago. My friend had to rewatch it for school, and asked me if I wanted to watch it with it. I did it. I wasn't to sure if I would still like this movie, since my tastes have changed a lot the last years. And it was still pretty good, I don't love it so blindly now though. I really like this movie, it's funny and it has got a lot of memorable scenes. It doesn't do anything with me though, and I don't really like all the symbolism that is in this movie. If I had to express it in a grade now,I guess it would be 8.5 out of 10, so there's more things that I really like than things I don't like.

Range_This11 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors and although much different from the text, this movie delivers the tone and theme that Steinbeck wrote in so well. Loved it. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."

Range_This11 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Saw Knowing last night. Crappy and cliche for the last half but so messed up and ridiculous in the last half I must say I really liked it.

Millard Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 No Country for Old Men. Brilliant film, everyone went on about the ending spoiling the film but it wasn't that bad, and the guy who played Anton was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 "Six Feet Under" - This is a really great series, but for some reason the only things I want to say about it are complaints. So I'll just sum them up: pretentious, self righteous and preachy. The characters are severely narcissistic, and they will describe themselves as such sometimes but never strongly enough. By the end of the series some of the characters were almost unbearably annoying. It really is a good show though. The Day the Earth Stood Still - I enjoyed it, but I like these sort of movies. Whereas the first movie was preachy about anti-war this one is more about environmentalism. This movie got a bad rap, I think mostly because there are a few things people really don't like and most people don't like at least one of them. A lot of people don't like Keanu Reeves, and while he isn't great in some parts he played Klaatu just fine. It really does get to be really sci-fi with weird orbs and von Neumann nanoreplicators, and some people won't like that. And there are a portion of the people who do like sci-fi who don't like remakes of their classics. So there is a significantly small group of people who don't mind any of those things. I am one of them, and that's why I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How2PK Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 That doesn't mean your movie can't be anything else than talking heads. Haven't seen the movie by the way, so I don't know if it really is just talking heads. Sayat Nova (The Color of the Pomegranates) Wow! I had tried to see this movie a couple of times before, but I never was in the right mood, so I never finished it. Yesterday I started from the beginning, and when it was done, I saw it another time. It doesn't happen often that I watch a movie for a second time right after it is finished, but it was so incredibly beautiful. One for surprise, one for pleasure, I guess. :) This movie is about the Armenian poet/troubadour Harutyun Sayatyan (Sayat Nova, the King of Song). It isn't your usual bio-picture. The movie doesn't tell us much the life of the king of song (like Walk the Line does, for example), but it gives us a look at the inner world of this king of song. It's hard for me to say something about this movie, but the images were so powerfull, the colors of them, compositions all that detail with the words and music in the background, it's impossible to describe it with words. You'd have to see it for yourself. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariusman Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The last movie I watched was City of Ember, based off of the book, The City of Ember. Personally I loved it, although I'm not sure if that was nostalgia or not. Either way, the movie unfortunately did poorly, didn't even break even. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Range_This11 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The Deer Hunter This movie was an absolute gritty masterpiece. I have never had chills in a movie as long as I did during the bar table, tongue in cheek rendition of "God Bless America". This movie needs more recognition.

Sumpta Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Donnie Darko - I was packing my DVD's this weekend, since I'm moving to a new house soon, and I stumbled upon the dvd of Donnie Darko. I bought it like years ago and never really got round to watching it. But since How2PK mentioned it on this thread, and since I recently found out that my currently favourite actress (Mary McDonnell) has a role in it (Rose Darko), I decided it was as good a time as any to pop it in. I'm not sure about it. It has lovely scenes, especially the family scenes are spot on, but it didn't really impress me as much as it seems to have impressed people at the time when it became cult. Maybe we've been too flooded with this kind of stories since then: fate, death, surprising time lines, Chosen Ones, 'you didn't see this one coming, eh?'-endings. "I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion" might make it in my top ten of favourite film lines ever though. I got totally confirmed in my Mary McDonnell-love as well, she's one fine woman and one fine actress. Got myself a new red-head role model to look up to.

By the end of the series some of the characters were almost unbearably annoying. It really is a good show though. I know what you mean. I used to love this show, but I stranded somewhere in the middle of series 5 and never finished watching it. The characters and story line had veered off way too far and I couldn't bear watching them destroy themselves any further. I just didn't recognize the characters I used to love anymore, it all turned so... soap opera. Ultimately, I think only series 1 kicked major a**, after that the writing went downhill slowly but steadily. Edit: 'pologies for the doublish post.
