What movie did you last watch?

...

Imagine my surprise when I couldn't stop laughing? "If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a dodge ball."

Thud.

What surprised me the most was all the cameo appearences. Shatner. Armstrong. Bateman. ect. Against all my better thoughts, I ended up throughly enjoying this movie, even despite its stupid premise, it's an entertaining flick.

*Damn right, but I have to charge*

napolean dynamite! IT'S GREAT! i hated it at first, but now i like it

[DCreep]

Taking lives, I was really suprised.
There was some really crazy scenes!

Chasing Liberty, with Mandy Moore. Oh my god. Best. Movie. Ever. Some quotes:

Mandy's mom [after she comes home alone and mopey]: "How's your heart?"
Mandy: "It's... ok."

Mandy [at Harvard]: "I'm at one of the best schools on the country, and there isn't one class on love."
Secret Service man: "You can't learn about love in a classroom."

Mandy's "lover-man", finally confessing his true feelings: "I am so un-bloody-hinged just being near you."

Mandy: "I don't want to think, I want to live!"

Lover man: "If you're scared, why do it?"
Mandy: "Because the things you're scared of are usually the most worthwhile."

Lover man: "You think they'll shoot me if I kiss you?"
Mandy: "No... [sexy pause] but I will if you don't. [another sexy pause] Literally, bitch. [Pulls out gun, shoves in face]"

Chronicles Of Riddick

It's amazing just how many stories you can rip off in one movie. I thought Tarantino was the master, but this far surpasses his work. A little bit of the Matrix, some McBeth, a little Dune, a dose of Alien Ressurection... and many, many more. It had some interesting visuals, but the rip-offs just kept taking me out of the film. The transition was also rough between Pitch Black and this. At least Pitch Black didn't overload you with way too much sci-fi hooba jooba, whereas The Chronicles of Riddick was rather flamboyant in this department (introducing 'elemental' races and whatnot). Was ok for an action-flick, but certainly scored little to nothing in the department of originality.

C'mon Battery, it was clearly ripping off Conan the Barbarian! The end scene, everything in between? Don't tell me you didn't catch that? And, maybe I'm just Jonsing for a decent remake, but that's why I liked it so much.

[AlKilyu]

Yeah that movie stole from the above mentioned movies, but it was still a waaaaay better sci-fi flick that any of those shitty Star Wars flicks as of recent.

I caught the Conan ending too, still it was a pretty decent flick.

Open Water.


I’d like to say this was a good movie, that it was intense and dramatic, a real nail biter…but alas, the only thing biting is this movie, and the lame-ass sharks, which had the appetites of anorexic supermodels and the compactional (annoying) habit of picking at their food.

I first thought this was going to be a non-formulaic horror type flick, but the more I thought about it…

Well, let’s just go through the list, shall we?

Naked Blonde with huge tits? Check.
Anti-Hero who loses it and goes off on a tangent? Check.
Some form of safety that the characters acknowledge, but then totally ignore? Check Check.
A random act of stupidity that places them in the situation? Check.
Bad acting? Check.
The entrance of a hopeful rescue from a terrible ordeal, but too little too late? Check. Check. And Goddamn check!

The only thing I liked about this movie was the one scene (SPOLER ALERT) where the wife checks for her husbands pulse, discovers he’s dead, and instead of hanging onto the proverbial gravy train, lets him float (insert Modest Mouse playing in my head) on to the ravenously pathetic appetites of the sharks, and then she looks back as a chunk (small chunk mind you) is taken…then looks away with a mingled look of shame and self-loathing.

That was a really good scene, but aside from that? Movie sucked ass. Oh, the (I think it was the fifth scene) where she was in bed naked…ummm, that was pretty good too, owing to the size and shape of her yummy Ta-tas.

[FenrisQueen]

heh. my kind of girl.

[.BatteryPoison.]

Ahhh... See? The ending was extremely familiar, but I couldn't quite make the association until just now.

I found some of the original elements of CoR very interesting. The idea of placing an underground prison on a planet like Mecury was cool, where the temperature difference between sunlight and shade are unbarable extremes between hot and cold - making escape near impossible. However, that's only possible because the planet has basically no atmosphere. The planet in CoR had an oxygen atmosphere (I'd like to know where that came from) and it really didn't turn out to be -300 F in the shade like someone in the movie said (?).

Other than that, the idea was cool. The visuals of the sunrise were absolutely spectacular. Same goes for the fire storm.

[Solumina]

The last movie i saw was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It was fairly bad but I love Stuart Townsend so I was still happy.

[@(x_x)@]

Donnie Darko.


It was being shown on Nederland 2 and of course they just had to make the movie fill up the entire screen, which is just terrible when your tv isn't wide-screen. Thankfully I'd seen the movie several times before, but due to my extreme lack of money, I taped it this time instead of buying the DVD with my non-existing money. So now I've got Donnie Darko, but thanks to Nederland 2 the quality is poor. >_<

All that aside, I thought it was a great movie. I enjoyed the story, the overall atmosphere and the music.

[FenrisQueen]

Piracy!!! Piracy!!! oh well. good for you.


slc punk. I cried. Dammit. It always makes me cry. I feel all warm and squishy, and Ravena didnt even slip me a date **** drug this time!!!


ahh. shit. I may have said too much.

[pitseleh]

Wish someone would've slipped ME some drugs before I watched BMX BANDITS! This was the movie that inspired me and all my friends to try insane bike stunts way beyond our ability in the 80's. Now that I see it again after some 15 odd years, it's just a really bad movie so chock full of clichès you can just barely fit a plot in there. BUT, and this I didn't remember, it stars a young Nicole Kidman, all innocent with rosy cheeks. It's sad, but it actually elevates the movie a few notches above crap. That, and the über-cheesy synth-pop soundtrack, complete with absolutely insane flanged swooshing noises every time someone does a jump or drives down a steep slope with their bike. So, yeah, bad movie, but I had to laugh like hell.

Wolfman. If you havent seen it youre missing an oddly compelling performance from lon chaney jr. and awesome special FX considering it was 1941.

[twisted_illusions]

"I'm just a Sweet transvestite From Transsexual Transylvania"
Rocky horror Pic. show. I got it for x mas and so now ive watched it like 4 times. Anddddd that song is stuck in my head.

[Disfunction]

I thought it was Napolean Dynamite, but in fact, it was Phantom of the Opera.

[winged_dreams]

I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That movie is so hilarious!! I love British humor. I also love Candian humor or at least I loved Kids in the Hall. Great show!!

[Loy]

Kids In The Hall....ahhhh, just remembering meeting them. "You thirsty?" "Yeah....hey, this isn't water, it's vodka. Were you guys drinking this stuff the whole time?" *Dave Foley putting finger over lips and pulling a faux-innocent "not me" look*

Weirder still, because me and a friend just watched "The Wrong Guy"....imagine the Kids in The Hall spoofing Hitchcock films (with a spoof on John Woo in the middle of it all).

Also rewatched "Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown" (my friend hadn't seen it). This is my all time favorite Almodovar film. Now, while I'll admit that his more "mature" work has a stronger emotional pull, "Women" shows off his knack for flair, coloration, offbeat chances, humour, theatricality, and his knack for characters (check out the Mambo King taxi driver), especially women....why is it that the only male film-makers who have fully-developed women characters in their films were queer europeans? I mean really, Almodovar and Fassbinder.....well, I'd try writing an actual review, but I'm a bit tipsy right now. However, if you haven't seen it yet, "Women on The Verge...." is one of the most hilarious films I've ever seen in my life.

Whoa! For a second there I thought someone had misspelled my name!

:P
My hubby's grandmother told me that that was the movie that made her afraid of the dark as a kid.I've been meaning to get that one, but I haven't been concentrating on upping my older collection lately.Not to mention, it's rather hard to pirate black & whites.

:roll:

PS:Loy, do you watch every little known or heard of flick out there or am I the only one who doesn't know half the directors that you are a fan of?Everytime you mention a band or movie I'm normally scratching my head with a dumfounded expression on my face.

[Disfunction]

Anchorman... I laughed my ass off in parts... hmm

The Life Aquatic

There was nothing remotely humourous about this (Al- don't read this next part) except when the guy smacked the crippled dog.

Don't waste nine dollars! *Especially* don't bring a friend and waste eighteen dollars, like Granny did! :wink:



I heart Granny like whoa!
