I just saw The Bourne Supremacy and The Chronicles of Riddick. I would have to say that Riddick was better this time than in Pitch Black. It was actually a really goot movie. But, it's better to see it as the director's cut rather than how it was in the theatres. It just makes better sense that way.

Grey_Wolf · 01-03-2005, 07:15 PM

I saw K-Pax yesterday (actually finished it off, since I had begun to see it). It was pretty good.

Nothing · 01-04-2005, 07:47 PM

The chronicles of Riddick. It`s an ok movie, but I liked pitch black better.

i watched Meet Joe Black on BBC3 the other day
1st time i cried at a film in ages!!

Rosie Gamgee · 01-05-2005, 12:52 PM

Meet Joe Black? What is that one about, again?

I just saw Finding Neverland. Oh wow. Good stuff. I would say it's more true to my idea of Barrie and his works than the new Peter Pan that came out a while ago. Good acting- except on the part of Michael, but he's like, what, three? Good story, if a bit altered from real life. I thought the play-props in the pretending sequences were a little weird, but the entire film is over-all pretty brilliant.

The Manchurian Candidate. Creepy. Tak Fugumojo (I know I'm spelling that wrong) was brilliant as usual with the cinematography. Other than that I wouldn't say it's anything to rave about. I did like Liev Schriber's (spl?- I know, I know!) acting. Merril Streep was decidedly good as well, and more than a bit freaky.

death(brad pitt) comes for antony hopkins, but makes a deal, death gets a holiday with hopkins as his guid on earth, hopkins gets a bit of extra time. death falls in love with hopkins' daughter, but makes the decision to leave, with hopkins, very sad movie

Mercutio · 01-05-2005, 07:43 PM

about 40 minutes of Predator (with Arnold Schwarzenegger; I just can't imagine him as gov. of CA now!). We watched it in English class because it was slightly like Beowulf (themes; hero, monster characteristics same as Grendel, mono an mono fighting, etc.).

We also started watching The Third Man in novel/classic film class. Amazing.

Predator I is the best of the duo. The whole story and especially the music. I like it a lot. Have view it several times. Never tire of it.

predator 1 is the best out of the predators? or out of Predator and conan?... predator 1 is the best predator undoubtedly but conan is better (imagine if Conan had carl weathers in it, awesome

)

I've saw Conan ages ago on tv. But Predator 1 I've seen not so long ago. Have u seen A vs P? Is it a good action movie (meaning bombastic but good action)?

Yeah, Carl would be a Moor most likely. Like Freeman in Robin Hood - POT.

Last Child of Ungoliant · 01-06-2005, 08:00 PM

i watched Gladiator, and i cried at the end - second time i cried at a film in as many days,
can my heart be beating again? NOOOOooo

Halbarad of the Dunedain · 01-07-2005, 03:57 AM

I just recently watched the Film Hero. I felt this film was very well done, the music is very nice, and the artistic method of color use throught the film is incredible.

Most recently I watched the film Dodge Ball, a one time funny film. It had a few moments of humor but not as good as other Stiller films like... Zoolander.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 01-07-2005, 02:55 PM

I hate Ben Stiller'

*Loudly* I just saw "The Life Aquatic" and "Sideways" which were both wonderful.

Sideways was so funny. We went home and pretended to be pretentious wine snobs.

Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

AVP was pathetically ****, it didnt do justice to either the aliens or predators, even if you dont really like predator or aliens (i only really like alien 3) it still gives you the shits. i didnt even think it passed for a pathetic action movie... yeh Carl could make any movie great thats why the star wars should have had him as Lando

Well, well, I'll skip AVP then.

Soo, you're a great Carl Weathers Fan then? I suppose you've seen Action Jackson then. It was the first CW movie I saw.

mainly ust an Apollo Creed fan ("there is no tomorrow, THERE IS NO TOMORROW"

awesome) but yes Action Jackson is a great movie.

Mercutio · 01-08-2005, 10:03 PM

Mansfield Park (2nd version, the recent one)--really really good movie. As long as you aren't expecting direct Austen. Our wonderful heroine was...interpreted...a bit differently!

And Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban.
I enjoyed this version a lot. The characters had more character-ness than the two previous movies. The Night Bus was especially fun to watch. However--I thought the plot was a bit weak; I believe the corresponding book is the same? It seemed more like a short story merely introducing Sirius Black.

Maybe I'm just getting older...
