I loved this film, not only for its remarkable soundtrack, but for incorporating such an amazing story - a true story, if I remember correctly. Even though I saw it long ago, I still rate it, easily 10/10.Quote:

But most of all this movie makes me sad, for all the children of the sexties that believed that it was all going to be Ok. That drugs was harmless because people were good, and that drugs was going to make us grow. Nothing like that in this movie. Nothing like that. And some of the people remind me more about old friends then I really like to admit. I ´ll give this movie 9 out of ten.
I love it too, a breathless film, maybe the best film of François Truffaut. Truffaut is one of my favorate directors, stolen kiss is his another masterpiece. I think french made the best comedies.Quote:

i watched "National Treasure" on friday night, i thought it was really funny and entertaining... a good escape for reality... I loved indiana Jones so it was obvious that I would at least like this one... I recommend goign to watchi it if you like adventure mystery films... anyway 9/10... feeling gernous again.
Saw Silence of The Lambs before bed.
This is actually a bad choice before bedtime, cause it made me couldn't close my eyes, and i kept thinking of Buffalo Bill :rolleyes:
I think so far, this is the scariest and most thrilling movie about psychopatic killer, i ever saw. The way Sir Anthony Hopkins played his role is remarkable. Hannibal Lecter is my second fav serial killer after John Doe from the movie Seven. This movie also encourage me to look a little further about behavioural science.
I give it 4 :thumbs_up
I'm guessing you didn't see the movie Saw that took scary to a.......
Yea? Do you think that it's more thrilling that Lambs?
Then i gotta see it soon...
I saw a very strange and unpredictable film today called The Player, containing an all-star cast and twisted plot; I give kudos for orginality. Rating: 9/10.
Oh well, just to post since I haven't in so long...I saw a film in Spanish class today called "Yo, la peor de todas" (I, the Worst of All) about the life of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (a poet/nun from Mexico in 17th century). Rather depressing movie, and it presented a different picture of her than what I had envisioned. Definitely low-budget too...some of the set pieces were hilarious.
On the other hand, I've been able to see several movies in the past couple months that I've been wanting to see for a long time: Garden State, Spider-man 2, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Finding Neverland. I'll give them all 10s for simplicity's sake. They were all very good. And I watched Frequency again for the hundredth time last night--you have to see that movie if you haven't already.
Mono--is The Player a Robert Altman film about Hollywood?
Yes, nome1486. I will paste a link regarding the movie after a quick information search.Quote:

I saw a Tom Tywker's The Princess and the Warrior recently. A beautiful film. It's set in Wuppertal, Germany, where Twyker was born. Interestingly enough, I have been pretty much fascinated with Wuppertal's railway, and this features heavily in the film. The story is fairly magic realism, and the characters are rather larger than life, but it has a magical, fairytale quality to it that is highly endearing.
i saw yesterday Mulholland Drive. i don't understand anything from it. maybe because i watched it veeeeeeeeeeery late at night and was half-sleeping or maybe because it was too deep for my intelectual abilities
I saw Brdget Jones: The Edge of Reason on the 20th with a group of girly friends! It was really lighthearted and a great giggle! It's great for when you don't want anything too heavy going after a tough week working extra hard.
The jokes and mishaps of Bridget are fabby! :nod: and I really reccommend going to see it if you liked the first one...great romantic comedy! BUT...I'd have liked to know what happened to Daniel Cleaver...come to think of it...from a very shallow point of view...there wasn't enough Hugh Grant in that film!
um... monica id didn't like mulholland drive that much.... it was rather like what the heck is going on here, i dont like that bridges guy either, but tim robbins, hes a great actor
Nah. It's just that it's SOOOOOOO Lynch. Great movie but very strange indeed and its oddity is part of that. It's a film you can continue to wrap your head around for a long time.Quote:

watched chronicles of riddick last night I'd give it a nine out of ten, really enjoyed it, and van helsing maybe a seven or an eight out of ten...
America's Sweethearts 4/10
Some funny scenes thanks to Bill Crystal and Hank Azaria but not enough to save the movie.
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:

I donno. Kinda cheesy, kinda sleezy, kinda overly melodramatic would be a lousy definition.
I’m with Jester, I kinda dig those film moments. And trismegistus; out of context everything sounds cheesy.
[QUOTE=Scheherazade]
"Ghost": Demi Moore's "Ditto," to Patrick Swayze's "I love you."
[QUOTE]
I feel so relieved, knowing that I am not the only person who absolutely detested that line!
I agree that anything could sound cheesy out of context but they do so more than others I guess... But these make the movies fun. :)
To me, Andie MacDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." is the cheesiest of all... (Of course that has something to do with the fact that I have always thought she was badly cast for that role and movie.)
never saw that movie
