Let the thread live, it serves a purpose. It's not like a topic just dragged randomly up from the past (eg the story thread below this), it still has useful info in and can have info added to it.

It has a purpose, more than anything.

As for films - I recently watched Halloween 5, and that's all. It was fairly run of the muill Mike Myers stuff.

Myers blows up, still walks
Myers gets shot, still walks.
Myers kills folk
Myers gets arrested
Myers gets blown out of jail
the end.

fairly crap, all in all.

I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last friday, and I really liked it. In the first 15 minutes, I feared it was going to be another romantic drama/comedy packed with clich?s, (Guy walking on beach. Meets girl. They stare at eachother. It's teh l0ve m4chine !) but the film just got better every minute.

The erasing-memory aspect and the flashbacks - a bit like in Vanilla Sky - were well implemented, and the music was great too (Especially the filtered version of Beck's 'Everybody's got to learn sometimes' ). Good movie, after all.

It was written by Charlie Kaufman. See Being John Malkovich and Adaptation for examples. (Adaptation is better and the only movie EVER where Nicholas Cage is *dun dun dun* ACTING!) [addsig]

What about Matchstick Men? I thought he did a pretty good job in that.

National Treasure wasn't too terrible, if you just ignore the story. I went in with some incredibly low expectations, though. I was expecting it to be this huge mishmash of poorly thrown together events and whatnot, but it actually had a decent plot.

Not worth 8 bucks, I'd say, but it's a fairly decent adventure style movie, and those don't come around too often these days. [addsig]

Some good moments, but imho the other dodgeball coach (the "good guy") is terrible in that film, not once does he act convincingly and this ruined things (even though I'm not a film critic and it doesn't take much to please me!)

He was OKAY. I didn't really like that movie and that surprised me because (past Thelma & Louise) I liked most of Scott's films.
The only part I like was the end.
I've noticed Nicholas Cage is only remotly good when he plays someone with many many problems (Bringing out the Dead, Adaptation, Matchstick Men) the one exception I can think of off the top of my head is Face Off ... Jesus, what a terrible movie.

Monqui, You mean like in Alexander ... that terrible piece of dog s**t. I can't believe that movie was made by Oliver Stone. I have the same issue when it comes to The Lost World: I can't believe it was Speilberg's.

I don't plan on ever seeing National Treasure by the way. The only inclination of me seeing that movie would be Sean Bean. [addsig]

Haha ... indeed, the Lost World really sucked. I remember watching that movie and laughing my ass off with the silly action.

I had the same experience with that one. I saw it for free in the theater and people were looking at me awfully strangely as a laughed out loud when characters were eaten in horribly implausible ways. Is that the one where the T-Rex gets to LA? The only moment form the movie I remember with enjoyment was when the Rex ate the dog. Hilarious.

San Diego, actually (why do I remember that).

I just don't understand how they got that story though ... the only correlation the movie has with the book is: there are dinosaurs, an island, some of the same character names, and the title, "The Lost World". The book was f**king awesome though, way better then Jurassic Park.

The only part I liked about the film was up to when In-gen started hunting the T-Rex (and a lot of the filler before that point). The only reason why is that's the only stuff in the movie that even remotely reminds me of the book (which is awesome, read it, now).

Oh and the paleontologist from the Sega-CD version of Jurassic Park was in the movie and was terrible. Not to mention, it'd be moronically stupid to run away from a snake into a T-Rex. (Not that they were hunters, as to the last I've heard. I heard something that they found evidence that T-Rex's were pack-scavengers or something.) [addsig]

I don't think I'll be seeing National Treaure anytime soon either. It looks like a mish mash of various adventure flicks. If I want to watch a first rate adventure movie I'll put on Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark.

God, what an awesome movie... Written and Directed by George Lucas, starring Harrison Ford, set in exotic locations around the world, awesome effects, scenery and music, boobie traps, and the killing of numerous damned dirty nazi's... what more could you want in a movie. Oh, and the whip and hat too.

Er, Written by George Lucas and Phillips Kaufman, Directed by Speilberg.

Lucas gets way too much credit. [addsig]

From a comedy standpoint, I thought Dodgeball had some hilarious stuff. Sometimes movies just toss in cameos and you're supposed to laugh because so-and-so has appeared. Dodgeball, on the other hand, has some of the best cameos I've ever seen, especially one particular famous American athlete who delivered his lines terrifically. There's a lot going on in the sidelines of this movie that I found really funny too: the old time instructional video, the bar named the Cleveland Steamer, "The Ocho", everything that comes out of Pepper's mouth.

Oh, and there's also lots of people getting nailed by dodgeballs.
