lotr not the extended version (want to see them though) 11/10
I saw Fight Club
Personally, i find this movie great, with some spiritual messages. It's about fulfilling your wildest dream and deepest desire, yet in the end you find that they're the one wich almost destory the real you. Though some of my friends consider this movie awful (one even said that Fight Club is the worst movie he ever saw), I find this remarkable and now it's one of of the movies in my top 10 all tive fav movies.
I give it 4 1/2 :thumbs_up:
Wow I thought Fight Club was an okay movie (5 or 6 out of 10) maybe I just wasn't in the mood.
Well..it's about taste..:)..and like i said..to me it's a very spiritual movie..like American Beauty :)
Last movie I saw in the theatre: Resident Evil Apocalypse. Horribly bad. 1/5.
Last movie I saw on DVD: Dawn of the Dead (the remake), I actually quite enjoyed it, I wouldn't rate it higher than a 3/5 however. It has an overall nice style to it. There are some plot lines that are a bit too thin and not dealt with enough and there are some plot lines that is begun and then killed off without any sense of rythm. Overall it's an alright zombie movie, one of the better as of late, but still not without flaws.
Hi Dope Clown...welcome :wave:
have you read the book? fc is one of the very few cases where both the book and film became synonymous for one another!
plus have ever you thought about the reason why your friends hate fight club? because it was the truth. and the truth hurts. one of the film's message is don't be rabid materialistic fool. perhaps your friends disliked the preachy elements? either way they're offended because fc was meant to offend. it's sorta like a filter. =^).
I havent read the book Jedi..wish i had or could find my self a copy..you mean the messages in the movies are true? well i agree with you..that's why i said the movie is very spiritual for me..especially coz it shows me the fact that achiving our deepest desire can actually be our greatest danger and the only way to get rid of it is by accepting the way we are..that's why he shot himself at the end of the movie..
I watched Bulletproof Monk last night, starring Chow Yun-Fat, who always displays a satisfying performance. I did not feel too impressed, but found Seann William Scott a better actor than previously thought. Somewhat predictable plot, but an overall not-bad film. Rating: 6/10.
You know, back in Hongkong, Chow played in many movies, most of them actions. Some have good stories and some are just...well you can say craps :). My fav were the God of Gamblers trilogy. He's one of the most respected actors in Hongkong movie industry and one of the few who managed to make a name in Hollywood.
sub,
what i meant is that the message of the book resonated through and through in the movie. in fact on the DVD commentary track Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the '97 book, commented that there were things in the movies that improved his novel! so you can read the book and receive the same message or you can watch the movie and receive the same message. it's a very interesting combo of works. it has remained the highlight of david fincher, brad pitt and edward norton's career. i'm not so sure they'll ever surpass it....
O Ok, thank's for your explanation Jedi. I'll try to look for a hard copy.
Here is something for all the movie buffs out there (copied from CNN.com/showbiz):
NEW YORK (AP) -- Although "Titanic" soared at the box office in 1997, according to a recent survey, its most memorable line -- "I'm the king of the world!" -- sunk.
British baker Warburtons posed the question "What are your top three cheesiest moments in film?" to 2,000 U.K. moviegoers in celebration of the launch of their new cheese-flavored crumpets.
The line uttered by Leonardo DiCaprio was followed by Patrick Swayze's "Nobody puts baby in the corner" from 1987's "Dirty Dancing" and Andie MacDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed," from the end of 1994's "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
Warburtons reports that surveyed women opted for romantic comedy moments from films such as "Notting Hill" and "Jerry Maguire" and men preferred silly scenes from action flicks like "Top Gun" and "Braveheart."
Despite the gender divide, 33 percent of the voters agreed on the "Titanic" yell as the cheesiest moment.
The list of big cheese moments:
"Titanic": Leonardo DiCaprio's "I'm the king of the world!"
"Dirty Dancing": Patrick Swayze's "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."
"Four Weddings And A Funeral": Andie MacDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."
"Ghost": Demi Moore's "Ditto," to Patrick Swayze's "I love you."
"Top Gun": Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime."
"Notting Hill": Julia Roberts' "I'm just a girl ... standing in front of a boy ... asking him to love her."
"Independence Day": Bill Pullman's "Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"
"Braveheart": Mel Gibson's "They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!"
"Jerry Maguire": Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: "You had me at hello."
"The Postman": A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: "You're a godsend, a savior." He replies: "No, I'm a postman."
wow... am i that pathetic that i like the cheesiest moments in the films??? they get the point across, though some are wat too cheasy like Swayze's and Robert's but I liked pullman's speech and Gibson's and love Renne's (not even going to try the last name
we should add this, for every movie, give us the best or worst line or moemnt int hte film :D
See, this is entirely context dependent. That could be a truly great movie line if Bruce Campbell was saying it with a chainsaw in his hand.Quote:
