Just watched "Charly and the chocolate factory"; it's a good Tim Burton movie IMO. If you liked "nightmare before xmas" and "edward scissorhands" you should watch this one. This one's also funnier. And Johnny Depp is in here, more than ever, an excellent casting choice!

Me and my dad (my dad and I, whatever) are going to see the Brothers Grimm soon. It looks pretty good, and I like Matt Damon a lot.

yeah i really want to see that it looks good

I've watched A Nightmare On Elm Steet 4 and 5 (started watching 6 last night but fell asleep <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_cool.gif"> ).
God damn they ruined Freddy more than no 2 did! It's interesting how they are draining the Freddy character more and more, trying to squeeze everything out of this franchise by turning Freddy into a comedian.

Except the entire series of movies ended ten years ago. Just wait until you get to "New Nightmare" and "Freddy vs. Jason" ... God, so terrible.

I always stop the movie when it gets towards the end, just because the overall story heirarchy is pretty average. The beginning is really the best part of the movie. Reason why I bought it, anyway.

You'd probably like Clerks as well. Even if it isn't written, directed, or acted well. Still very funny for the reflection on those actual positions.

Clerks cartoon is still the best though. So great. Not written by Kevin Smith ... which makes it better!

Anyway, I heard Mike Judge was working on some new projects (including another Beavis and Butt-Head movie) ....

I hate Beavis and Butthead so much. It came out when i was in Elementary school and people were quoting it and doing that dumb laugh so much that I hated it before I even saw it! (we were poor and couldnt afford cable/MTV.)

So naturally, I've always just disliked it. It's kinda like "git 'er done" I hear that about 50 times a day, because I live in Redneckshire, Missouri and everyone thinks that is just the funniest thing ever. I hate it.

Doesn't bother me either way. Larry the cable guy is very annoying though and I don't see what's so funny about that catch phrase.

Anyway, I know that's something he's working on ... I thought he was working on some other stuff too ... which is what I was inquiring about.

Last I heard on Mike Judge moviewise was he had a movie in production about an average intelligence guy who travels to the future to find that everyone else is dumb as bricks. Luke Wilson is that average guy.

I just watched Kung Fu Hustle again... friggin hilarious in a really odd way.

THen I watched Crash, the one that just recently came out. It's all about racism and such in L.A., and I have tosay that it's one of the best (well written, acted) movies that I've seen in quite some time. I suggest you watch it, it's very interesting and well thought out.

New Nightmare from what i've heard is supposedly quite good. I've seen Freddy Vs Jason, and it was pretty crap.

P.S no.6 sucked aswell.....

My copy of Night of the Living Dead was delivered yesturday and although it's 40 years old it's suprisingly good, some of the camerawork reminds me of The Evil Dead, maybe that's where Raimi got his inspiration.

You've heard wrong.

I saw two Sci-Fi movies tonight: "Alien Apocalypse" and "The Man with the Screaming Brain", both are 'Campbell' movies.

Alien Apocalypse was, for all intensive purposed, hilarious. It's a garbage Sci-Fi movie with NO plot and Bruce Campbell, so it was great. And giant crickets. The movie is only funny because of Campbell's dialog, which could only come from "The Bruce", as he's been dubbed.

The Man with the Screaming Brain was interesting, quite funny, much better then I expected and was told. Written, Directed, and Staring Campbell. It's very close to "the man with two brains" in concept, but executed very differently.

If you want to waste some time and like Bruce Campbell, I suggest both. If you want to see Portland in ruins see Alien Apocalypse ... or if you want to see human saw mill slaves ... It actually has one underlying tone that's interesting, in which the largest oppressive force for the human race are other humans. But, that's very mild. It's mostly, "Let's squash some bugs" and Bruce Campbell passing off as a Doctor ... who worked for NASA.

Just watched 'the rundown'.

It got great action. A very nice DOP. Incredibly nice CG and stuff.

The only thing I totally didn't appreciate was the fact that Beck only wins the final fight by using guns.
Of course; he handles everthing lika a pro. But I liked the idea of a main character not using a gun. Well.

The character of Travis was really annoying, the first half of the movie. And Chrisopher Walken was very sweet, as usual.

By the way: The music is fine.

Just watched an old Hitchc**k film "Shadow of a Doubt" for class Tuesday night. I thought it was good. A lot of memorable characters, and some very tense moments. More interesting than the average classic film.

Edit: Gotta love the profanity filter!

Hitchc**k

Anyway, I saw "Million dollar baby". In my opinion, the best Eastwood movie to date.

EDIT: apparently the color glitch was addressed. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I've been a fan of Hitchcock's movies for quite some time, since I first saw Hitchcock's Psycho. I now have 2 Hitchcock movies on DVD, Hitchcock's The Birds and Hitchcock's Rear Window. Hitchcock is a brilliant director.

My wife and I watched "A Room with a View" last night. It was my third or fourth viewing, but it was her first. It's one of my favorite movies, and it ranks number one on my ex-roommate's film list.

The first time I watched it, I was still in college. I watched it on a tiny little TV with my roommates. It's just one of those college dorm experience that's priceless.

Ever since then, we peppered our conversation with dialogues from the movie, like "I do declare we're lost" or "Do you know that proverb?"

My wife wasn't part of my old gang, and much of this enthusiasm for the movie didn't rub off on her. I was nevertheless giddy when I watched it again.

However, the version we saw was the unrated version, with full frontal male nudity. That aroused my wife at least.
