Have yet to watch The Terminal, heard it was only so-so.

Lmao Gwai, thanks for the link!

It WAS so-so. There were charming (not "cute") parts, but it was neither funny nor moving in a dramatic way.

The last sane person · 03-15-2007, 02:59 PM

Then I shall make a point not to watch it.

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 03-19-2007, 05:34 PM

The Cave. The beginning was boring, but it got better towards the end. It's that kind of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time to the point that you want it to be over.

Cheers to the most obnoxious protagonist ever.

Butterbeer · 03-19-2007, 07:33 PM

I quite liked it - but it is a film i think largely dependent on mood when you watch it.

If you are in a mood to be mildly entertained and to run with it - it's quite amusing - if you wish to be high brow- you will rip it apart.

I was in the former and quite liked it. *shrugs*

The Sixth Sense. Very Intresting, Loved the twist at the end.

Constantine. Very Intresting. Loved the "come into the light" tattoo. I liked the alternent ending better.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-19-2007, 10:26 PM

Oh, Constantine, that's another 'eww....'

sun-star · 03-20-2007, 04:39 AM

Becoming Jane - could have been worse, could have been a lot better. I had very low expectations which were marginally exceeded, so I suppose that's a good thing

Grey_Wolf · 03-20-2007, 05:35 AM

Saw The Queen - pretty good - but more like a documentary than a film. A lot about a certain person - more about *** than lead.

I'm reserving comment on this

Pathfinder Nice, Very nice. Karl Urban did a very nice job as Ghost. Of course i'm sure he used some of those moves in LotR

It was a weird movie.

Rosie Gamgee · 04-16-2007, 01:25 PM

Brick. Surprisingly good. A little hard to understand, though, because almost every word is slang. But it was engaging.

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 04-16-2007, 05:36 PM

The Langoliers. Weird, impossible to comprehend (although I didn't see all of it). Takes part 1 of the movie for the characters to figure out what happened, and part 2 to continue figuring it out.

Wasn't that based on a Steven King novel?

Rosie Gamgee · 04-20-2007, 12:35 PM

Lady in the Water. A horribly crafted movie. Paul Giamatti was pretty good, but he didn't have hardly any talent to work with. Bryce Dallas Howard was good, as well, but her part was so bizzare and minimal, when you came down to aspects of performance. I didn't like much about it, except for two things: 1) the score. James Newton Howard is such a great movie composer. Love his stuff. 2) Paul Giamatti's line in the beginning after being told that there's a 'creature' in an apartment; "There's no such thing as 'creatures'." Brilliant.
As a side-note: Shaymalan's ownacting skill seems to be improving, minimally, but it seemed kind of a bad decision (to me), to put himself in such a pivotal role when he's not really that great of an actor.

Acalewia · 04-28-2007, 09:27 PM

The Color Purple makes u think a bit

Rosie Gamgee · 04-30-2007, 01:23 PM

Die Hard, one and two. Very funny. I liked the first better than the second, and the amount of bad language in both is kind of overwhelming. But other than that they were very entertaining.

Yup.

Let's see:
Godzilla with Matthew Broderick
Alien and Predator
And then one other one, which you've probably never heard of: Fellowship of the Ring
