Movies you've just seen (Pt. II) - Page 9

Acalewia · 11-12-2006, 09:00 PM

I saw Flicka today. Very good movie

Grey_Wolf · 11-13-2006, 03:47 AM

I saw The Da Vinci Code and Master And Commander this Saturday.

Though I dont quite understand the ending of CaM. Why did he turn about to chase after the French ship again after letting it go? Does anyone know?

***HOBBIT*** · 11-13-2006, 04:33 AM

Uh I saw it a long while ago but wasnt it because the French captain had eluded him? Something like that.

Grey_Wolf · 11-13-2006, 10:07 AM

That might just be it. Thanks, HOBBIT!:

You're also, from what I see here, a prude who automatically decides a movie is bad because it has nudity. The nudity is never done in a way that is 'exciting', as it were.

In a french movie? Of course not. They're so used to it...

If there's something I'm good at it's being able to tell if a book stinks just by reading the jacket, dedication and a random passage. I usually apply the same method to movies...

Now Gwai, I was really looking forward to an arguement, and I'm truly sad you didn't even try...

A Good Year. Cute, sentimental. Not a great adaption, though the book was hardly a masterpiece itself. Good acting on the part of the principles, a loose plot and an engaging soundtrack. Made me smile, which is worth a few bucks, anyway.

It may have been a good year, but it was a bad movie

What the heck is all this using "Cute!" to describe a movie? Does the movie wear a diaper? Is it fuzzy?

Acalewia · 11-15-2006, 08:44 PM

*smacks Hector upside the head*
What's with you lately? Be nice!

You know, I've noticed that "upside the head" seems to be quite a popular phrase here in the south...

No diaper. Yes, it was fuzzy; warm, sentimental, and fuzzy. According to the Free Dictionary, the second definition of 'cute' is: "Obviously contrived to charm..." The movie was cute.

I second the smacking upside the head. *whacks dear Hector* What, you think you're the only judge of a movie worth watching??

Acalewia · 11-18-2006, 09:45 PM

I have used "cute" to describe a movie before myself.
*sticks tongue out at Hector*
Haha

Curubethion · 11-29-2006, 09:32 PM

We're watching Hamlet (the real long one that's set kinda 16th-17th Century-ish...I can't quite pin it down) in English class. Very excellent-it really makes the play that much more enjoyable. There were some very nice touches in it.

hectorberlioz · 11-29-2006, 09:37 PM

The Kenneth Branagh one? I started watching his "Henry V" and I liked it as far as I had watched, but I never did get to finish it. Decidedly a big step in keeping the lines like they are in the play.

Curubethion · 11-30-2006, 06:53 PM

Yep, that one. I love the fact that they use all the lines...that's awesome! It really does help with getting the play.

hectorberlioz · 11-30-2006, 07:02 PM

Yeah, I really loved that aspect too. Though I notice that Branagh's Hamlet doesn't get the noise that Henry V does...I remember I was 10 when it came out on video

, and I saw this huge poster for it in the video store...

btw, have you watched Henry V as well? It has the young Christian Bale.

Curubethion · 12-02-2006, 01:53 AM

Nope, just watched most of Hamlet so far. We'll be finishing it up on Monday, I think.

I loved one part of it-when they had Claudius' soliloquy, he delivered it in a confessional, which I thought was a rather brilliant touch, especially when Hamlet showed up on the other side of the screen.

So Branagh also accepts that Shakespeare was Catholic!?

Acalewia · 12-04-2006, 05:58 PM

Saw Casino Royale yesterday. Very good. I think Daniel Creig will make a good Bond, not to mention he looks good in Speedos

I'm looking forward to another Bond film with Creig.

You know, I have a funny feeling he's a one-timer Bond. I just have this feeling that he'll leave before production for the next one. Clive Owen will most likely be the next pick...

Acalewia · 12-04-2006, 06:28 PM

For some reason, I can't see Clive Owen as Bond...

You know, you are such a pessimist
