May 30, 200917 yr Author How2, you gave Jackie Brown a 3.0? :x Yea, it's so incredibly boring. I honestly don't see how anybody could like it. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
May 30, 200917 yr Terminator. The new X-Men. I thought it was really good, and the title sequence was one of the best I've ever seen. However, I don't really know the story, and I heard that was a big negative for some people; apparently they changed a lot. Yeah I really liked the title sequence as well - just gave me the shivers for a moment watching it haha.
May 30, 200917 yr 136. Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1975) :: 9.0 Watching that movie once is enough for me, I know you have the first print Criterion edition that you spent a lot on but that doesn't mean you have to watch it :D . Makes me want to throw up just thinking about that movie...
May 31, 200917 yr How2, you gave Jackie Brown a 3.0? :x He doesn't like Tarantino, dontcha' know ? Tarantino is a little kid, who's using a lot of money making not too great stuff. :P
May 31, 200917 yr Finally got around to watching If... on Daan's recommendation. I enjoyed it very much. Malcolm McDowell was cool in such a creepy way when he was young. What movie was this ? If How2PK recommended it - its probably :thumbup:

May 31, 200917 yr I've been doing nothing but watching movies in two of my classes for the last few weeks of school. We've watched Blood Diamond, Thirteen Days (worst of them), We Were Soldiers, and now Band of Brothers (which we won't finish.) The war movies are for AP US History, Blood Diamond was for a religion class. In that class we're now watching some other movie about Africa that I don't know the name of since I missed the beginning. Not a fan of war movies in general but I rather like Band of Brothers. It's a rather well done miniseries. I'm also participating in the Lost Rewatch :D Supposed to start June 1st but I had already started season 1 when they announced it.
May 31, 200917 yr I'm also participating in the Lost Rewatch :D Supposed to start June 1st but I had already started season 1 when they announced it. Hmm, that sounds interesting. Once I start a series though I like to finish it. Also I have rewatched the first season probably 4 times, second season 3 times, and the third season 2. Before each season I used to watch all the way up to it again. So season 1 is getting a little old for me. I'll rewatch the entire series when season 6 comes out on DVD.

Heh, seasons 1 and 2 are the ones I've seen the least as I never had the DVDs until last Christmas versus having the season 3 DVD basically since it was released. Although I think I've only been through season 4 again once. Anyway, you can follow the rewatch at Lostpedia for discussion of older seasons, which will be interesting I think.
May 31, 200917 yr X-Men Origins: Wolverine Oh, this could have been soooo better. Great performances from everybody, though. As far as comic book character portrayals go, Schreiber's portrayal of Sabertooth is up there with Heath Ledger. Star Trek Coming from a non-trekker, this is an excellent space opera. The Big Sleep (Original Cut) I'd always heard that the well-known cut was far superior to the original, and it is, but not nearly by that much. /Email Marketing promo
May 31, 200917 yr If..., it has a young Malcolm McDowell, even before A Clockwork Orange. Yeah, just looked it up. I thought to myself, it couldn't be A Clockwork Orange as he is relatively old in that.

I thought to myself, it couldn't be A Clockwork Orange as he is relatively old in that. Well, it's young compared to "Heroes" and Doomsday which were the last two things I saw him in :) .
May 31, 200917 yr I tried to let my history teacher let us watch The Life Of Brian when we were studying religion. She didnt really go for it. #-o 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
May 31, 200917 yr Author 136. Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1975) :: 9.0 Watching that movie once is enough for me, I know you have the first print Criterion edition that you spent a lot on but that doesn't mean you have to watch it :D . Makes me want to throw up just thinking about that movie... I think I watch it once a year. I learn to understand more of it everytime, and I'm actually starting to see the beauty of it now. :) I saw the second edition of the Criterion by the way. :P He doesn't like Tarantino, dontcha' know ? I do enjoy Reservoir Dogs and to some degree Kill Bill. But Jackie Brown is impossible to get through. If... is a movie by underseen Lindsay Anderson. It's about going against authority. Some light surrealistic touch here and there, and it's so lively. I love it. Thinking about it makes me want to see it again. Two other films I've seen by the same director are O Lucky Man! which is a sorty of sequal to If... (which I think is just as good) and the completely different kitchen sink drama This Sporting Life, which is very strong (I think you'd enjoy this one as well, Dan, but I don't know if it's been released in the UK). [edit] It has been released in the UK Click Sorry for the promotion. When you read through those little stories on the back on the film, I always wonder who writes that kind of stuff. It always sounds so promosing. Adapted from David Storey's novel of the same title, THIS SPORTING LIFE is a gritty, unblinking look at life in the coal mining region of Northern England as seen through the eyes of Frank Machin (Richard Harris). Produced by Karel Reisz, who made the acclaimed film about working class life SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING, and directed by Lindsay Anderson, THIS SPORTING LIFE brings realism to both the brutal violence of the Rugby matches it portrays and to the emotional and physical violence in the character's lives. When Frank Machin leaves the mine where he has always worked and signs a contract with a professional Rugby team, he hopes to gain social standing and respect. But he finds the hero worship of the drunken fans distasteful. While the owner of the team praises Machin as his star player in the privacy of the locker room, he snubs him in public. Machin's need to love and be loved is compellingly conveyed by Harris with the same startling immediacy as is his raw physical power. He forcefully seduces his landlady, Mrs. Hammond (Rachel Roberts), into a doomed love affair. As things continue to go downhill for Machin, the film captures the mood and feel of this gray industrial area in muted tones, achieving a documentary authenticity. The night time shots use a silvery shine, enhancing the feeling of human alienation. Though this parable of working-class life in England is hardly uplifting, the combination of its vibrancy, Harris's sexually charged performance, and Anderson's edgy visual style give it a place not only among the great sports movies, but among the best of all British films. @How2PK, is there a site/program that you use to tally the movies etc?

May 31, 200917 yr I thought they were clever in Star Trek to set up an alternative reality, that way they can effectively do what they want with it.

Ya, I saw Star Trek too and I thought it was really good. The actors were pretty spot-on with the personalities of the old characters (I'M GIVIN IT ALL SHES GOT CAPT'N! :D) :ohnoes:My Guide on Obby Mauling!
May 31, 200917 yr Mystery Men (C+) If they kicked out the Spleen and the Bowler, I'd give it a B. We should euthanize anyone who lacks the capability to contribute to society in any way.Please don't elect this man for president in 2012
May 31, 200917 yr Mystery Men (C+) If they kicked out the Spleen and the Bowler, I'd give it a B. Anything with Ben Stiller AND Hank Azaria has to be a A+. I saw that movie when I was like 10. [bleep]ing hilarious to me. Maybe not so quite - tasteful. So maybe my judgment is flawed.

May 31, 200917 yr Mystery Men (C+) If they kicked out the Spleen and the Bowler, I'd give it a B. Anything with Ben Stiller AND Hank Azaria has to be a A+. I saw that movie when I was like 10. [bleep] hilarious to me. Maybe not so quite - tasteful. So maybe my judgment is flawed. Ben Stiller and Hank Azaria were funny and of course nobody can forget the Disco Boys, but I think if they got rid of the Spleen and especially the Bowler, this movie would be a lot better than it was. Its still enjoyable even with its problems. We should euthanize anyone who lacks the capability to contribute to society in any way.Please don't elect this man for president in 2012
May 31, 200917 yr Star Trek- It would probably have been better if my aunt hadn't been there, but it was still a good one. Simon Pegg was brilliant. 8.5/10

"Then suddenly I cut the scheese, as it happend an old gypschy woman was passing by ... and from then one, I would be always know to be the one who dealt it." Classic. Geoffery Rush as Casanova was perfect casting. Good actor too. Now if they could only fit Joe Pesci in there somewhere ... :-k
June 3, 200917 yr Just watched The Good, the Bad, the Weird. It was a blast to watch! Highly recommended. :thumbup: [hide=trailer][yt]QK_QFGykPPI[/yt][/hide]
