Most recent disappointment.. X-Men III ..This movie stinks.
Most recent favorite.. The Lake House... A must see.
I almost agree. Yes, X-Men 3 sucks, but I found the Lake House to be merely decent. Keanu is just a laughable casting choice for any drama / love story, though it wasn't that bad since most of it was voice over and you didn't have to see his face.
I recently picked up Solaris (2002 edition) and The Cell (Jennifer Lopez's only decent movie). Solaris is nice and slow, a nice movie to fall asleep with. The Cell is the opposite, with some pretty gnarly imagery, especially a certain delicious setpiece with Vince Vaughn.

The Cell was more like a video installation than a movie.

I discovered this topic locked.... I'm guessing because it was autolocked after the 4 month inaction protocol from the old site. Regardless, I unlocked it now for all to share their movie/video watching experiences once again!
Never mind the four months of inactivity, but the 4 years! Wow, this thread needs some love.
So I watched the new Tron: Legacy movie this Saturday, and I have to say it was FREAKING AWESOME!
In fact, I made my way to Houston Texas to watch it in IMAX 3D and it was just pure bliss. I'm completely sold on 3D, I think it's pretty cool. And in Tron, they treat the 3D part like The Wizard of Oz treated color. but regardless, watching a movie that's actually made for IMAX is just awesome with the music. I bought the soundtrack already when it came out earlier in the month, simply because I'm a Daft Punk fan already (they wrote the whole soundtrack), and this was considered their next album.
The movie was just fantastic in its re-imagining of the original, and the novel concept of the Isos, and the themes. I really think it's a nice original movie, that I WILL be seeing again in theaters (probably this Tuesday 
).
Have you guys seen it? I highly recommend it, and probably on my list for top movies in the past 5 years. The music was astounding for me... (goes back to listening to more Tron soundtrack...
)

I hope to see it soon, too bad it wasn't actually shot in IMAX, though. They just upscaled some of the parts that were shot on a better resolution camera.
Also, the soundtrack was entirely produced by Daft Punk, so that's why it's so awesome, I would imagine.

OK.. I know the answer as this is my old thread.
Under the old server/host and the old Snarkpit (prior to this Larchy version) the thread took so freakin long to load that Gwil began a new thread with the same topic heading.
It seems under the new host that the thread loads spiffy fast so...
Anywho's that's why it was locked.

I think the code only querys the page number in the database, not the entire thread and then throw 90% of it away (the old way).

How to Train Your Dragon is in my NetFlix queue somewhere.
1982 Tron. I'd like to see the new one.

Yea, I too also recently watched: "How to Train Your Dragon" -and it was really good. I didn't expect it to be so well done. Although I admit, I forgot Dreamworks was behind it. They did a very good job animating the faces, that's for sure!

Gran Torino is a damn fine movie.
A-Team and The Other Guys. Neither were bad. Both were pretty funny.
