i respectfully disagree on the matrix revolutions post. it was better than reloaded and the first matrix. it's truly the most philosophical trilogy of films EVER made.

Actually it was the latest Potter movie :blush: but don't mind that. Worth remembering was the Titanic: Ghosts of Abyss. Although we have no IMAX in Latvia and had to watch it with those strange glases. I'd give it 8
Do those glasses work? I've never tried them.
So we got another copy of Secret Window... that was mostly lame. It was very predictable.
Last night watched copy of Metropolis I just purchased... I remember it being more interesting and having more of an impact on me when I first saw it... but oh well, still a classic with fantastic special effects for it's time. Great theme also.
Loooooooooooooove Metropolis. :D :banana:
For some reason that reminds me: Has anyone seen the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari? I love that movie too. In fact, silent movies are just the ****. :lol: How else can I say it?
DOH!! I ordered Metropolis from Netflix and the DVD messed up just after the Robot woman was revealed.....I never did see the end of it.
Aww. You're having bad luck with DVD's, my friend.
She's in the trailer a bunch. (Yes, I'm now addicted to doing this. :D)
:banana: <--Go ahead! Click him!

First person ever who claims this. I'm surprised as to why you think this is so. Care to elaborate your point? :)
About those glasses: Yes they work but I think they worked better for me if I hadn't my own too. It was quite amusing to have both of them on your nose. And I'm completely agreeing with criasaor about that Matrix question ;)
THEY ALL DIED IN THE END!
just half-kidding... they almost all died in the end. =).
You liked a movie for the amount of death...?
Anyways, I saw Mystic River tonight, that is a very jumpy movie but I liked it. Give it a 7.
I'd have liked it better if they only let people do accents who ... you know ... could do accents. Sean Penn's was so-so, Lawrence Fishburne's was incredible, everyone else sucked.
em which paaaaart of MA do you live in? Boston is REAL thick on the accent. thus far the best accent i've seen on film is probably good will hunting... for obvious reasons =). other than that everyone kinda fakes it unless they wuh from uhround he-ah.
Hehe. You should hear -- I mean, read -- Sancho's impression. It's so awesome. I'm in southern Whis-tah county. ;) But my parents aren't from around here, so I don't have an accent. *phew* I think. I hope. I actually haven't seen Good Will Hunting...I know, sacrilege. But somehow it's hard for me to believe Affleck could improve that much in the time between that and the Kevin Smith movies. *shrug* But maybe now I will, if only for the refreshing change of hearing someone not just phoning it in on a Hahvahd Yahd impression.
KIWI, I'm glad you liked Mystic River. I always worry when people take my advise about movies/music it's so subjective. I raved and raved about the movie INTACTO but nobody else liked it as much as I did. Did anybody else see it?
I really did like Mystic River, don't worry. :pQuote:

em, you'll find that good will hunting remains ben+matt best work (at the time of this post). ben was pretty good in chasing amy and matt is pretty good in rounders but good will hunting really solidified both of them. outsides of those mentioned films it has been disasters imho.
Starsky and Hutch on the airplane. I give it a c-
it barely passed for entertainment.
I knew that car was going to miss the boat, I could see it coming as soon as I saw they were headed for the docks.
"Pretty woman" Of course - 10
It's really cool. I enjoyed it again..... It reminded me my school years and my sister..........
I like Julia Roberts.
That's a film that stands the test of time reasonably well. Out of all the German Expressionist films, however, I'll take M every time.Quote:

I dont usually post here cos I'm not a big movie-watcher, even if in some periods, like now, I seem to catch up...
Last night my teenage brother persuaded me to watch with him this horror film parody called Shriek if I'm not wrong...Ok I knew it was going to be crap, but if the marks are from 1 to 10...I give it 0 anyway!!! It was so bad that even my brother said it was worse than he remembered, which I guess means that noone over the age of 13 can enjoy that...
Btw, are American schools like those you see in films? Large 'passages', big garden with grass, big sport playground, 'cupboards' for every student...etc etc? (I'm sure you know what I mean, think of any movie/tv serie involving a school...)
oopsie...can't help commenting...I hate Julia Roberts, every single one of their films irritates me so much... pretty woman is the only one I can bear, but it's not too great either...Quote:

I hate all romantic films except Gone With The Wind... I might watch it again soon (and of course cry at the end. Now Im female again ;))
I just found this one http://intuitor.com/moviephysics/index.html Simply marvelous, especially the reviews afterwards.
Darkness Falls - Classic hokey Scary movie, the lead actors voice was to crackley. I'd give it a 5.
Koa -- schools in movies are generally similar to real schools (kids have their own locker, the halls are wide-ish, there's a football field and a baseball field and sometimes a tennis court -- at least at my school), but not nearly as ritzy as they are in movies. People always make fun of how rich everyone is in movies -- how everyone drives to school in a brand new car, everything is really clean, etc.
ah ok, i was wondering about that too infact...
I must really be in movie-phase...
Just saw '4 weddings and a funeral', I found many little things to relate with and be depressed about, but in its silliness (I mean, the end is obvious) it was quite entertaining so I can give it a good 7.
Johnny English B very entertaining and funny... extra points for the doctors office scene
Me and my boyfriend watched a couple ofmovies on our week vacation, but the last one was "Big Fish"
I had seen it before, and thought it was good. He on the other hand loved it and cried. It was kind of cute, but I will give his rating: a 10
Oh, that's so nice. :) I've never seen a guy cry at a movie.
I want to see Napoleon Dynamite so much, but I can't find any local theater where it's playing. I've heard that the writing is often forced and unoriginal, but the actors' deliveries are effortless and really make up for it.
This is not the first time he has cried either, I know there have been others... Oh, he cried during "Ice Age", when the the sabertooth dies. (supposedly) I can't remember when else off the top of my headQuote:

the rest all are closer to the city. having said that i've been in the artsy one in Waltham, pretty OK. park's a real pain but it'll take you about 40min drive (not too bad).
Thanks, doesn't sound bad. Shoot, though, that's what I thought. Oh well; could always use a good excuse to go into Boston. My mom's b-day is this Sunday... wonder who's playing Passim's? Could make a day of it. Although travel will probably be a b**** because of the convention...
Yes, I'm rambling. Try and stop me. ;)
I bought "Lost in Translation" the other day, ..ok the story is interesting, but i dont know how sophia coppola could win a golden globe for this movie.
I enjoyed "Lost in Translation." For what it's worth, I really enjoyed it. What struck me about that movie was all of the little communication problems and connections: trans-culture, trans-gender, trans-generational as opposed to intra-marraige, intra-generational etc... I don't know. I don't go to the movies often, but that one spoke to me. --Of course, my wife was snoring away half way through it. Ha! I don't think Sophia could've made that movie without Bill Murray.
Had to go rent "On The Waterfront" the other day out of respect for Marlon Brando. I'd give it a 10. (and I'm a member of a labor union, go figure)
Well I dont think Bill is that important either. Well perhaps it's because i already a little bit familiar with japanese culture...in general they hardly speak english and when they do sometimes it's bit hard to understand their english..
I suppose lost in translation is not only mean lost for litteral language (spoken words) but also lost in translating gestures, and behaviour or a person..
Agreed. Good, strong first effort but certainly not worthy of a major award.Quote:

Well, this doesn't really follow from the last post, but I've never seen Lost in Translation, and this is the last movie I saw: Pieces of April
It's a pretty good, bittersweet movie about a daughter trying to reconcile with her family. Some of the scenes are just so sad because the mother and daughter have each hurt the other deeply, and they don't know if they can forgive each other. The music is also beautiful, and there is some good humor in it. 7/10
I guess "In America" means "Once upon time in America". My brother would certainly call it 10. I won't because he watched it so much that I hated this film and R.De Niro as well. Honestly now I can't see movies where he plays.
