Movies you've just seen - Page 9

Yesturday I went to go see the Forgotten, which, in my opinion, was a huge let down. I was expecting it to be a much deeper movie that leaves you thinking afterwards but it was very straight forward and left you no room to guess of the final outcome.
A few days ago I rented A Clockwork Orange and I thought it was absolutly amazing but also one of those movies you only really want to see once. It's up there with my all time favorites. I also so 21 grams which bored me until the very end.

I just made my family watch "THe Ladykillers", the origional with Alec Guiness.

I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!

Oh, and I FINALLY saw Supersize Me.

Did anyone see that on DVD and watch the bonus stuff? How bout those McD french fries?

0 (Greek movies, everybody murders the sons-in-laws)

+ 10 (Mexican movies, everybody's in a gang of bandits.)

+ 25 (Israeli movies, there's always a explosion in the streets and wildly shooting palestinians.)

+ 50 (British movies, everyone's poor, unemployed but proud of the Queen.)

+ 75 (Norwegian movies, everyone wears wool sweaters and skies.)

+ 100 (American movies, everyone's competitive, have guns, and argues about innumerable subjects)

What say ye?

That's great. I like the catergories, but maybe not the ratings- I'm such a sucker for movies where people die. And I love Italian movies. Maybe you gotta be a-one to like a-them?
How was Day After Tomorrow?

Just saw Heart and Souls. Kinda cute, but you have to give it up for Robert Downey, Jr.'s acting. He becomes four different people, not including his own character, and he's brilliant.

It was quite good. Excellent special effects. I'm thinking of buying it but perhaps waiting until I've bought my DVD-recorder.

"Screwed" with Norm MacDonald , was hilarious.

Mercutio · 10-22-2004, 06:25 PM

Shaolin Soccer.

Wow that's a pretty funny movie. Not fall on the floor laughing, but it keeps you smiling the whole time.

**Nurvingiel** · 10-22-2004, 08:15 PM

I just saw Gun Shy, and it was really great! Liam Neeson is my favourite actor.

It's violent, but not too awful. I think it's 14A.

Janny · 10-23-2004, 10:23 AM

I saw 'Shark Tale'. Was good.

Never too old.

Millane · 10-23-2004, 11:10 AM

Just saw anchorman, i really thought it was hilarious though some other people didnt think so

specially loved the Gangs fight

Mercutio · 10-26-2004, 09:07 PM

Horatio Hornblower, the new adventures: Loyalty
" " : Duty

Good Will Hunting

Victoria and Albert

Lief Erikson · 10-27-2004, 02:57 AM

Those were good. I've seen all the ones you mention but "Good Will Hunting". Those three movies you selected to mention that I have seen, however, were excellent

. I really love those historical dramas, or historical fiction dramas. Those that I've seen are really good. It's probably in part because they have such good plots. The real life plots (not talking about Hornblower here) are intricate and . . . deeper . . . then normal plots in movies.

i am trying out stanely kubrick, full metal jacket, a clockwork orange. full metal jacket i like the most

Finrod Felagund · 10-29-2004, 09:15 PM

Just saw "Team America: World Police", it was extremely funny, but not for anyone easily offended...

Millane · 10-29-2004, 09:40 PM

I have an exam the same day Zatoichi comes out

I've heard that there was a very long, lewd and informative scene.

Grey_Wolf · 10-30-2004, 03:54 AM

Saw Lost In Translation a couple of weeks ago.

Loooooooooooooooooooong, Slooooooooooooooooow and not particularly good.

I don't know what all the hubbubb was about.

Spock · 10-30-2004, 10:22 AM

Actually if you've ever been to Japan (at least on your first trip) it's easy to appreciate LIT, we loved it.

Grey_Wolf · 10-30-2004, 11:04 AM

You're, of course, entitled to your opinion. As for going to Japan, I don't think so. I don't seriously consider going to see my sister in Australia (and that is a rough trip. A full 24 hrs.)

***HOBBIT*** · 10-30-2004, 11:26 AM

Just saw Kill Bill Vol 1 a couple days ago, and Kill Bill Vol 2 last night.

Kill Billl was a very.............odd movie. Enjoyable, but very odd.
