I saw Constantine last night. Best comic book movie of 2005 so far.

It was really nice because even not taking the relation into consideration it's an all around good movie. I don't suggest listening to some of the reviews out there, like usual. But I've heard some very pecular "views" on the movie. One critic said, "[Constantine is] Anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-euthanasia, Constantine seems to share more of the right wing?s agenda than just an apocalyptic point of view."

But honestly, after I saw it I just thought to myself, "could this be possible ... is Keanu Reaves actually an actor now?" it's by far his best "performance" past things like The Gift. The Matrix really can't be counted, because the film didn't rely on his performance as much as this film does, it honestly would not have been anything close to the same film with another actor ... which sounds and feels really weird to say.

I enojyed it [Constantine] enough. Visually, it was certainly a treat, but I'm still not 100% sure if I liked the content/plot/overall flow of the movie...

And I'm sorry, the lighter he had was retarded. I don't know if it was some important relic pulled from the comics, but bleh. Ok, it wasn't really the lighter ITSELF I had a problem with, it was just how cool Keanu thought he was when he closed it. I don't know why, but EVERY time he shut the damn thing I had to laugh at it- he just does it awkwardly.

Overall not too shabby. And yes, I want to see Sin-City as well. That trailer kicks so much ass. [addsig]

i watch said trailer last night. absolutely nothing in it was of interest IMO.. /me wonders why?

is this an age based like/dislike i wonder.

i am not pointing this out to be rude to anyone, i am just curious why i almost always seem to be on the opposite side of each movie we all post.

Orph, I doubt that, taking that Frank Miller is pushing 45 or so. It's based on his works and he's even co-directing it (or at least that's what it says). [addsig]

Watched Man On Fire a week or so ago, pretty good flick... the first hour's heartwarming and then the second hour turns into insane violence... I was in awe most of the time, and generally in a more disturbed than happy way. [addsig]

I continued my string of movie snobbishness by going to see Million Dollar Baby Friday. Excellent movie.

I suddenly got a liking for Guy Ritchie after my dad rented Snatch.

If you don't mind a crap load of swearing, watch Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Pulp Fiction. What awesome movies. [addsig]

Pulp Fiction is Tarantino, not Guy Ritchie

Guy Ritchie is ok, but all he does is recycle the same characters and camera shots for reach production he makes. Gives a bad name to British films when they all follow the same "camera shots by numbers" rules.

Ok films, nothing overly special though. Lock, Stock... is far superior to the frankly laughable "Snatch" too. Raging Bull meets lock stock meets the italian job meets poor accent imitation. Old and tired [addsig]

Anyone seen Team America world police? I'm trying to download it because my parents won't let me see it. It had a sex scene or something like that and they freaked out. So gay, as if I've never browsed internet porn in my spare time. Anyways... Anyone know if it is any good? I know it was made by the South Park guys and I love South Park. [addsig]

It's meant to be good in the way that it mocks pretty much everyone churned out by the 'states media machine.

TBH the whole thing strikes me as terribly ironic and missing the point about why those people are such f**k ups, but at least it pokes fun at Michael "HEY LOOK AT ME I HATE GEORGE BUSH YOU CAN TOO!" Moore.

Although I haven't seen it, so I dunno.

Gay of course is a word acceptably used to describe something as bad. That's a bit Team America, tbh.

I liked Snatch myself, thought it was quite good.

But I also rented AvP tonight with the expectation that it'd be utter s**t and yet semi-enjoyed it, although it was total lame sauce that one alien took down two predators, when it took Arnold + a nuke to take down one.

My theory on those knock-off Predators is that the main predator in the movie was the "dad" and he was taking his kids hunting for the weekend. Then again, an Alien is MUCH more threatening then a human without weapons.

I found Team America to be hilarious. But then again, I enjoy immature humor if done well. And Team America is most definitely that.

I like Snatch's dialog, to be honest. I haven't seen many movies that deliver the same way, granted they exist. But, not quite like that. But it's very similar to "Lock Stock". To each his own, I suppose.

I heard rumors that Fox was actually planning on releasing an Unrated Director's Cut of AvP this year ... Let's hope that's true. Then the movie would be just like all of Anderson's other movies: Fun to watch, but still "bad". [addsig]

I'd let Guy Ritchie put out a third movie that's worth something (i.e. something besides Swept Away) before I criticize his style as overly repetitive.

Sure, that will fit the bill, but you mention it like it's been out for years when they're still working on it.

Watched 'Flight Of The Phoenix' last night. Not a bad film but some bits were annoying, like the weird trippy jump cuts and Giovanni Ribisi's accent....was he English, Australian or American?! Oh, the ending was also shockingly poor - like they ran out of budget and just chopped the film there and then. [addsig]
