October 26, 200916 yr The Truman Show. I had free tickets to see Harry Brown tonight before it's released on Nov 13th, but someones moved them and I can't find them anywhere. :angry:
October 26, 200916 yr Saw V, might go see VI as well for halloween.V is the only one I have sat all the way through. And it wasn't by choice. The whole series bores me.
October 26, 200916 yr I had free tickets to see Harry Brown tonight before it's released on Nov 13th, but someones moved them and I can't find them anywhere. :angry: Unlucky, Harry Brown looks truly epic.
October 26, 200916 yr How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the film) I always thought it was called The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
October 28, 200916 yr Shawshank Redemption. Epic film. One of the best I've ever seen. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.
October 29, 200916 yr Paranormal Activity - a genuinely scary movie.- the acting and script were all very good, especially considering the entire movie was made for like $15000.
October 29, 200916 yr I saw the terminator for the first time this weekend, if only he is as relentless as my governor like in the movie. [hide]One question I have is if Kyle Reese died at the end of this movie. How does the future John Connor even meet him? Or will that be explained in the sequels?[/hide]
October 29, 200916 yr I saw the terminator for the first time this weekend, if only he is as relentless as my governor like in the movie. [hide]One question I have is if Kyle Reese died at the end of this movie. How does the future John Connor even meet him? Or will that be explained in the sequels?[/hide] [hide]Kyle Reese is actually younger than John Connor. John meets Kyle in the future, and sends him on a one way trip back in time to protect Sarah Connor, though whether he knew he was his father I don't know. It's very possible that John intended for him to die in the past after serving his purpose, or else the timeline would be [bleep]ed.[/hide] I dunno, Terminator Salvation pretty much explained it all, but watch them in order. Get back here so I can rub your butt.
October 31, 200916 yr Role Models Pretty good movie I guess. It wasn't that special but it made me laugh.
October 31, 200916 yr Role Models Pretty good movie I guess. It wasn't that special but it made me laugh. I especially like these sort of movies, not really anything special but very enjoyable. Role models is a good example.

November 1, 200916 yr As it was halloween last night and me and some of my friends had no money to go to a party where you need to dress up, we had a small halloween movie marathon :P We watched The Grudge (Japanese version with subs), 28 Days Later, One Missed Call and Dead Set (on E4, not really a film but thought i'd mension it).We wanted to go the whole night into the morning but couldn't because it was late notice >.< We had enough films though... Those lasted us until just after midnight...
November 1, 200916 yr So how do you go about seeing those shorts? Was it like a festival at a cinema somewhere, or did you find them online? I watched the commentary for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which has been one of the more enjoyable commentaries I've listened to. I expected Robert Downey Jr. to carry the commentary because he had with the Tropic Thunder one, but it was actually Val Kilmer who carried it. Right after that I wanted to see more Michelle Monaghan so I watched Eagle Eye which is a pretty generic action movie. Enjoyable but nothing special.
November 1, 200916 yr Author So how do you go about seeing those shorts? Was it like a festival at a cinema somewhere, or did you find them online? Nope, unfortunately not. It's all on DVD. Most of them are Brakhage shorts from the By Brakhage DVD. If you're have some kind of interest in avant-garde and experimental films this set is a must. :thumbup: Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
November 1, 200916 yr They didn't do the Monster Movie Marathon this year, so we went and saw a couple of other movies. Couples Retreat- It was alright. It started boring but got better. 6/10 Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant - It was better than I thought, but I still think they could have done better than John C. Reilly. 8/10
November 2, 200916 yr Also, How2PK ?Daan?, could we get a translation for those of us who do not speak Dutch ? Ah, I thought it wouldn't be that hard. Here's a translation. :) /quote] Didn't want to hazard guessing. Most recently, Shaft , the 1970's one.
November 2, 200916 yr They didn't do the Monster Movie Marathon this year, so we went and saw a couple of other movies. Couples Retreat- It was alright. It started boring but got better. 6/10 Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant - It was better than I thought, but I still think they could have done better than John C. Reilly. 8/10 How was the vampire's assistant? I love the Cirque de Freak book series, when I heard the film however, I am worried is going to be like a teen drama but with VAMPIRES in it or something like that. Is it worth watching? Did they change alot of plot? In other news, I just finished watching where the wild things are, with my six year old brother. I thought it was kiddish, but then again I am probably not the target audience for this film. :grin: [Guild Wars 2-In game screenshot, the MMORPG you are waiting for. Click for thread.

I liked it, but having not read the books, I had no idea of what it would be and therefore had no bias when it came time for an opinion. And as Where the Wild Things Are is based on a children's book, I believe it makes sense for it to be "kiddish". :unsure:
November 2, 200916 yr The Box, it was actually better than i anticipated. Proud Tip.It Moderator December 07 - October 2009Proud TETAU Member 2006 - 2007 <3"I had a standing agreement with god.

November 2, 200916 yr Paranormal Activity - Pretty boring for the first half, but the last half was pretty good. I had the original ending which was good, but the other alternatives sound scarier. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous
November 3, 200916 yr I'm watching the Director/Writer commentary for all three Lord of the Rings movies. Lots of interesting stuff in there, although I am only a little over halfway through the second movie (about 6 hours done so far) and it's getting a little boring. I like interesting commentaries, but I usually prefer entertaining/funny commentaries. Supposedly the cast commentary is the funny one for this trilogy. I'll watch those eventually.
