If you can dodge a car, you can dodge a dodgeball!

That movie is great.

i just saw malibu's most wanted on hbo the other night... i find racial nonsense funny, which this movie is packed full of, so logically i should have liked this movie, wrong.
my recommendation: don't watch it! i think the funniest part was near the beginning when b-rad is talking to the black maid and says, "when are they going to stop opressing our people?" that cracked me up. and the snoop dogg rat, that was slightly funny only because snoop dogg is, well, snoop dogg. the rest of the movie was mostly crap.

Watched blind flight today and also got to meet the director [teachers brother]. It was quite a good movie and I was a bit surprised, the camera work was good and the way it was filmed for what they had [there were two men as the main actors who basically were in a room for 4 and a half years] was excellent.

I just viewed "Closer" this afternoon. It's a relatively small film by Mike Nichols with Jude Law and Julia Roberts.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376541/

Nichols paints a pretty grim world where love is a game of deception and manipulation, and sex is wielded by the players as a weapon. It's no less merciless than a deathmatch arena, where the only redemption can be found in loneliness and isolation.

The title represents a playful twist to the story. Even though the main characters are physically intimate, they are impossibly distant emotionally. Set in central London, the backdrop is emphasized by a depressing grayish sky. Harsh lighting and cold warehouse-style sets reinforce the emotional desolation of the characters.

And fitting to the theme of treachery, the most seemingly vulnerable character turned out to be the deceiver, and the one you trust the most betrays you. At the end, no one is left unscathed and everyone is emotionally bereft.

I don't need to reiterate that the film is aimed towards a mature audience. Anyone who is into glitters and pyrotechnics will probably drift into a coma before the movie ends.

I kind of want to see this, the only thing stopping me is the horribly s**tty actor that is Clive Owen.


By the way, I watched the DareDevil Directors Cut today ...

F**KING AWESOME. I liked the theatrical cut, but Jesus, this version is really good, like actually GOOD. There are only two or three changes that were made that I didn't care for. I also love the entire added sub plot. Not to mention most of the new stuff (most of the movie) has A SCORE!! Not s**tty pop-rock like Nickle-lick-my-sack and Evers**t.
However, it is completly suplimental to the theatrical cut. If you didn't like the theatrical cut, there is a good chance you'll like this version. Most people I know who hated the movie like this cut, so, take that for what you may

I love it <3 [addsig]

Don't be so quick to judge him based on your previous experiences with him. He's actually terrific in this role, at least I (and most others from IMDB) think so. His character is a major prick and extremely unlikable, but that's why I believe he's a talented actor.

Go watch it, and it should pay off for a real drama lover.

I strongly doubt it. I mean seriously. The only thing he's ever been OK in was those BMW films as the driver. THAT'S IT.

He's is one of the s**ttiest actors I have EVER seen, I doubt his acting is that much better in Closer. Not to mention from what I've seen in the trailers with him, his line delivery is just as s**tty as it's always been.

I think in this situation if Clive Owen shines somehow, Jude Law didn't do as good of a job that he normally does. smiley [addsig]

I know that i am prolly the only snarkpit member keeping up with the "Enterprise" series, but they are presently making Archer, even more legendary that either Kirk, or Picard.

i am so happy with the direction the series is taking, they are not only filling in the gaps before Kirks time, but they are creating answers for questions no one asked yet.

i just hope, it breaks their 7 year barrier that the trek universe has established.. enterprise the series has much to do yet.

There goes my breakfast *picks bits up of the floor*

The only thing I didn't like about that movie was the big cheese through out it, I mean, the big black copper guy was so cheesy! And the van! The van was the biggest lump of cheese out of the lot! But still, I enjoyed it.

The Dawn of the Dead Remake is one of the best zombie movies I've ever seen. Seriously. The original Dawn of the Dead was such a piece of s**t. Night of the Dead and Day of the Dead were even bigger piles of garbage.

Dawn of the Dead (2004) is just good zombie fun.

[EDIT]
I liked Ving Rhames.
However, I f**king hated Mekhi Phifer. [addsig]

He's been in plenty of other highly respectable movies (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654110/), including "Croupier", "Gosford Park" (which was nominated for Best Picture for the Academy Award, btw), and recently "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" (highly acclaimed by critics :: http://www.paramountclassics.com/illsleep/index2.html ).

...perhaps you're just not appreciating a good drama when you watch his films. Or I'm probably correct to say that you've never seen any of his other films.

Adam, i live in a dead zone.. i cannot get any TV signals on an aerial antenna, so i am forced to get it either via cable or satellite.. i chose satellite since our cable company blows chunks.

needless to say, with most satellite you cannot get any local channels, don't ask me why, but at least, right here, i cannot get a single one.

enterprise is on UPN in the states, and its local

i download ALL my enterprise episodes, and the clarity is actually better than my TV receives through the dish, so its worth the wait.

i DO NOT consider this piracy cause its available via aerial for most on public channels.

i can give you links to all the shows if you desire.
