"Way Down Town"
Canadian Comedy about 4 friends who work in an office building above a mall in Calgary. (in Calgary they have tunnels in the city so when its winter you don't have to go out side if you live in the city) any way they make this bet to see you can not go out side the longest and its just them starting to go insain it very funny but you have to have a bit of a sick sense of hummor and like dry comedy.
I've seen that, but couldn't remember the title. Thank you.
Dead Man, hmmm, watch this movie, it's hypnotising and the acting is great. Very weird but well worth it.
SIN CITY: 99,9% of a 100% Amazing, probably the best movie I have seen that was based on Graphic novels. Great cast (except brittany murphy, she can't act!) Bruce Willis was great and Jessica Alba is hot! Clive Owen, Roxanne Dawson, Josh Hartnett and Benicio Del Toro, all great!
You forgot Alexis Bledel! even though she had a small part, she's actually the only reason I watched it to begin with. I had no idea what was I in for, but it was a rather pleasant surpise. I'm sure the fans of the comic would love it, and it did kept me watching. I mean, bullets don't seem that dangerous after that movie eh?
Mark F-- about Memento, I completely agree with what you wrote; although I still give it a 10.
About the other movies mentioned:
"Wit" was... well, as expected, the dialogue was witty, Emma Thompson wonderful, but in whole the movie was sorta depressing... I found myself doing other things while listening to Emma's monologue.
The Grudge... Sarah Jessica Geller proved she is an awful actor. The scares were top-notch, but the ending and dialoge inept.
Oh... and Troy was excellent, I loved it.
War of the Worlds 3/10, the only good thing are the SFX.
Late last night, I happened to watch Elf, though we remain far from Christmas time. I thought the movie ridiculously funny, but precisely what I expected. I loved Will Ferrell in the classic Saturday Night Live episodes, and the movies inspired by it. I assumed Elf would seem very similar, but I found it slightly different from the other of Will Ferrell's acting movies - very funny, regardless.
My rating: 7/10.
Tonight we just watched Hostage with Bruce Willis and it was awesome. 9/10
Dark Water: 4 out of 10
- Shoddy plot
- Where's the scare? It's definitely not in the water.
- Too much like the Ring, which in my opinion, isn't that good to begin with.
I'm glad I went to the matinee; I would hate to think that I might have paid seven dollars to see it.
A Very Long Engagement 9.5/10
French film by the same director as Amelie and starring the same girl. One of the best all around movies I've seen recently. Great story, dialogue, and visually awesome.
The Shawshank Redemption, not as good as the book but still quite good. 7/10
12 Angry Men, this film is very theatrical, it all happens over a very short lapse of time and in a confined area as a jury debates whether a young man is innocent or should be strapped to the chair. Some excellent acting from all the 12 main actors. Check this one out 7.5/10
last movie i saw is SAW :brow: hehehe that movie is wicked!!!!i recommend this to all thriller movie fans!
Late last night, I finally watched The Day After Tomorrow - a film featuring all imaginable natural disasters occurring simultaneously, due to phenomena like global warming, magnetic shifts, melting of the polar ice-caps, and changes in wind patterns. When this film first appeared in theatres, I remember taking an environmental sociology course in college, so I had already heard much of it, and we had learned much of the studied crises in the movie - a very depressing class. Incredible movie, anyway, but very sad to think that such phenomena have seemed to begun, only not to such an extreme.
My rating: 9/10. :)
I just watched The Village by one of my favorite screenwriters and directors, M. Night Shyamalan. His work never really ceases to amaze me, especially with the surprise endings. With The Village, I began watching with fairly high expectations, having loved The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs; it started similar (slowly), but quickened the pace in plot very quickly and surprisingly.
My rating: 9.5/10.
At the cinema the last film I saw was Madagascar, I actually thought it was very good; My favorite characters were Melman the Giraffe [basically a David Schwimmer as a Giraffe] & King Julian the Lemur [voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen]. There a some more adult jokes/references in there so don't be afraid that it's just for small children, even my boyfriend found it amusing. We're now addicted to King Julians rendition of I like to move it :banana:
7/10
Open water.
and it wasn't anywhere near the 5$ it costed to rent it... I'd have been better off eating the bill >.O;
Goodbye Lenin 4.5/10. The idea was good but poorly exploited. The directing was bad.
The Gladiator. very subtle, powerful, and artistic. i could watch it again and again ad infinitum.
a perfect 10.
Ok, I've seen a few films recently so here goes.
War Of The Worlds: Awful, dreadful etc. too much time/money wasted on damned special effects, too little devoted to telling a truly great story. Not to mention I had to sit through Tom "cant act for peanuts" Cruise, I shouldnt have wasted my money. 3/10.
Batman Begins: I'm not really into the batman stories (was more Marvel than DC), however this was good, despite being predictable at times. I also wont begin to get started on the flaws in the weapon used by the bad guys at the end. 6/10.
Wedding Crashers: Hilarious, I think Owen Wilson is a brilliant actor and Vince Vaughn (who I dont normally like) was good also. The hunting scene is superb. 9/10 (btw, did I mention I met Rachel McAdam a few weeks ago? one of my friends at college went to school with her sister and they were up at a party one weekend)
The Fantastic Four: Ok, so some things were changed from the comic books, but the essence of the story was still there. Again a cameo from God (Stan Lee). Good interaction between the actors. I liked it anyway. 7/10
I feel like I have watched a lot of movies lately.
Earlier today I watched Fahrenheit 9/11, one of the many documentaries by Michael Moore. His work never ceases to amaze me; I have managed to watch all of his films, as of today, watching this one, and felt genuinely satisfied. I know we cannot discuss politics on this forum, which I fully understand, but I can see why many people would either love or hate this movie (for me, the former). Hence, I suppose all I can say without touching on the matter of modern politics, concerning this film: "I concur!"
My rating: 10/10 (easily).
Steamboy- anime by the filmmaker who did Akira. I liked this a lot. It's set in the year 1866 when steampower is the dominant tool for technological advancement. Beautiful imagery and a great story and characters (particularly a little girl reminiscent of Scarlett O' Hara).
Also Hotel- very, very odd and slightly chilling. Quite erotic with good acting by a large A- list ensemble.
These last two days I'v seen two films, "Land of Dead" and "Dream Catcher". What I can say is just never see this kind of films after dinnar. You may to through out all what you ate.But in general, they are good films, especially the latter with. The end of the film made me laugh. So, enjoyable that all I can say.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
I like it.I consider the movie incomparable to the original because it differs in more ways than one.It's also closer to the book.I also liked the humor and music of the film.
Mockingbird don't sing. A true story about a young girl so much abused and kept away from the world that she never learned to speak. She is locked away in a room from her first to her 13th birthday. Beaten and deprived of everything. "The worst case of child abuse the officers who found her had ever witnessed". The social isolation, neglect and abuse harm her for life. She never recovers. I have seen the 'true images' of Katy when I was a student.. The images always haunted me - a striking young woman with an awkward way of behaving and no capacity to make full sentences and express emotions. In the movie she seemed a bit more healthy and accomplished then on the tapes I watched..
But the little girl that plays her does so remarkably well. And the story is very heartbreaking :bawling: . Right now I am really angry at her terrible parents :redface: .
And I try to imagine what it would be like to be Katy - terribly abused and not able to share your story. To make yourself heard. To take a stand. Brandished a victim for life, because no-one learned you to socially interact in a normal way. Takes my breath away.
Rating: 7/10 (just a 7, because the shots and lighting of the film aren't very imaginative).
Chocolat with J.Depp and J. Binoche (don't confuse it with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also with Depp). I liked it a lot, there's a pretty fantastical atmosphere, a little bit like in Amelie. And nice music. 8/10
Shaun of the Dead 8/10
Lawrence of Arabia 10/10
Night of the Living Dead 10/10
A Nightmare on Elm Street 10/10
Brain Dead 9/10
Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer 8/10
The Brood 7/10
I went to see the Dukes Of Hazard last night. I used to watch the show all the time growing up...infact I still watch it now. The film was brilliant, my only problem was a couple of casting issues: Firstly Boss Hogg is meant to be a little fat guy, I think Devito would have been perfect. Secondly Sheriff Roscoe was a wimp in the original series, the actor playing him looks too mean. Finally Daisy Duke should be a brunette, I am sure they could have found a brunette who is equally as vacant as Jessica Simpson. Overall though I still really enjoyed the film. 8 YEEEEEEEHAAAAAWSS out of 10.
I loved that show as a child, and contemplate seeing the movie . . . perhaps soon. :DQuote:

I loved the movie - twisted plot, similar to several other drug films of its contemporary day.
My rating: 8.5/10. :)
Sin City! Great film!!! 9/10
The film is pointless!! My best friend and I were cracking up at how stupid it was!Quote:

Wow! I've actually been watching good movies recently... :D
Earlier this evening, I watched a dark, Irish comedy called Waking Ned Devine. What a hilarious plot of a man dying from shock while winning the lottery, and others, in the man's small village, trying to claim his winnings! I got a fairly good laugh out of the movie, though some parts seemed slightly predictable, but very entertaining.
My rating: 9/10.
This morning, I watched a 1945-made film version of Oscar Wilde's The Picture Of Dorian Gray. I saw it advertised, and could not resist, despite my neverending fear of seeing films made after very respecting, classical literature. The movie remained generally close to Wilde's created plot, but wandered with a few unnecessary details, leaving other admirable details out, especially some considering Sibyl Vane; regardless, the characters who played Lord Henry and Basil performed beautifully, but a few parts disappointed me.
My rating: 7.5/10.
Today I went to see The island today good thoughit reminded me of a brave new world crossed with 1984
Love Actually.
Loved it.
12/10 KitKats.

The life Aquatic
8/10 somtimes weird but overall funny
I just remembered that a few evenings ago, I watched a film called The Stepford Wives. Having heard about it before, I thought it sounded strange, but, with enough spare time to watch it, I did not think too highly nor low of it. The plot seemed somewhat interesting and attention-catching with a happy ending, but overall, I did not feel greatly impressed.
My rating: 5/10.
i just watched 'the perfect storm'
1/10 probably one of the worst films ive ever watched laced with cheese so sentimental it was sickening AVOID for the life of you
