Kingdom of Heaven - The other night, not really a bad movie. I'd say it was pretty good if it wasn't Orlando Bloom, because 1) I don't like him as an actor in general, 2) He's smaller than me and is still somehow a badass fighter. Meh. I'd just prefer a manlier dude to be the lead character.

The Island - Overly long, not all that great, and then a scene basically from Family Guy.

Saw II - I liked the first one and I liked this one. Obviously very violent, the acting was decent enough. I'd say decent enough plot twists but I suspected 2/3 of the ones they had at the end. Best of the 3, anyhoo.

Saw II.. Part one was much better, but the shock factor ending was still fabulously done. I never saw either ending coming.

Butterfly Effect, Directors cut.. Was pissed.. Totally. The re-written ending was not only a bulls**t concoction, but..

anyway, watch only the theatrical version.

Watched both part one and two of "The Transporter" .. They were OK I guess.

I just watched Doom.

The sets were good. The movie was pretty crappy until the First Person Cam kicked in. From that point on until the end I thought the movie was really entertaining and enjoyable to watch. It was just... so satisfying.

I like how they tied in pinky too, by the way. Very Doom3 and very very awesome.

Haven't seen it in a while, but..

DOG SOLDIERS

British soldiers training literally in the middle of nowhere, someplace in Scotland, find themselves under attack by werewolves.

One of my favorite parts is when one of the troops is nailing the front door shut when a werewolf reaches in through the mail slot. Without missing a beat he starts wailing on the werewolf's hand with the hammer until it retreats.



I'm allergic to tequila, it makes me break out in felonies.

Just watched Truffuat's French New Wave classic "The 400 Blows" and I have to say I really really enjoyed it. It was funny, touching, iconic, entertaining, silly/fun, and just a great watch all around.

Watched "The Weather man"

[spoiler tag]Good movie but sorely disappointing for what I expected from the previews. I expected a comedy, I got a totally dysfunctional "real life" one. [/spoiler]

We watched Starship Troops 2 last night, which was my second time. Dunno why I put myself through the punishment really <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> I've seen worse films, but not all that many. The face that the leading lady pulls when she touches the medic's hand and has a "vision" is so ludicrously hilarious that I've rewound it about 4 times in each viewing of the film just for the laughs.

Watched Flight Plan. It was surprisingly satisfying, I'd recommend it.

Just now finished it myself. The question of the day is??? When did you figure it out guys?

Me? I am slow, took me till the drapes were pulled close.

[cue spoiler]I suspected him just because his eyes were too far apart, but didn't guess him until the curtains.

I called the flight attendant much earlier though.

You're joking, right? He is an actor, and his eyes aren't really a part of his costume.

Try not to give to much away with your replies though. A few might not have seen it yet. Tis why I didn't mention "him"

I said "it".

And.. Duncan. Somewhere way back I posted about Troopers two being really bad too. I find it very brave of you to watch it more than once. You got kahonies. (<--- Spelling?)

Use spoiler tags if you are gonna give away anything about a film frenchy - I only read the first few words of your post but it certainly suggested you were about to ruin the thing!

+Hostel - A must see for those who enjoy torture/horror/porno

+The New World - One of the best movies I have seen in a few years. Slow moving, but then again, I enjoy slow.

+This is Spinal Tap - Hillarious Christopher Guest flick that has pretty abstract humour. Not for all tastes though. Dry humour ensue <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">.

+Lord of War - Good movie. Violent and good.

+Irreversible - Awesome movie. For those who enjoy violently twisted foreign films.

+The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. In theatres now with Tommy Lee Jones. Again, slow, but worth the watch. Set in Texas and Mexico.

+Final Destination 3 - OK movie. It is the worst one of the trilogy, not to say that it is bad, just not the best one. The 1st one has the best plot and development. #2 has the best death scenes. #3 is just a weaker version of #1 & 2.....enjoyable enough though.

+The Aristocrats. An extremely vulgar movie verbally. It is a documentary on the history of the joke The Aristocrats. Its pretty hillarious.

+Haute Tension. (High Tension in English). A lame French horror movie based on the book Intensity by Dean Koontz. You wont find them saying thats where they pulled their material from....but they did.....s**tty movie.

+Ripley's Game. The sequel to The Talented Mr. Ripley. Except this one is starring John Malkovich and it kicks tons of ass. Man traps ensue.

+March of the Penguins. Good documentary on Penguins. Good for the whole family <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

+Donnie Darko. Kickass movie with Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister Maggie. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys dark humour and scifi.

+Bizita Q (Visitor Q in English). A Japanese flick. This is the most sick and deranged movie I have ever seen. And that is a statement. Do not watch unless you want your eyes and ears to be molested by the vile imagry that this film puts out.

Thats basically the last month or two of movies Ive seen <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I just watched Rudy for the first time. Yes, I know its weird to make it to 20 years of life without ever having seen this movie before, but for some reason I had never watched it. It was good, but definitely not the best sports movie I've ever seen.

I'm sure this movie originated the pop culture "slow clap" reference.

this is spinal tap was funny in its aim and message but the movie itself was really lame
except for the scene where the guitarists talks about his guitars and amps that makes it worth watching
