Go (2001) - Japanese drama about a teenager and his love. For some reason Japanese movies always seem so fresh, and this one is no exception. 4/5.

I hadn't seen any of The Matrix movies, so I decided to watch the entire trilogy:

The Matrix (1999) - 5/5.
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) - 5/5.
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) - 4/5.

Really liked the style and mood of these movies, the futuristic, dark feel.

You mean Reloaded and Revolutions? I almost thought Reloaded was better than the first one. Revolutions had too much 3D-ships-action and too little fighting.

I knew people would have different reactions to the second two movies if they saw "The Matrix" as a trilogy rather than "The first one, then two sequels"


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Alone with Her (2006) - 4/5.

Nikita (1990) - 4/5.

Smokin' Aces (2007) - 3/5.

Goodfellas (1990) - Gangster flick with De Niro. Must say I like Casino better though. 5/5.

American History X (1998) - Just finished this one, had never seen it before. Amazing movie. One of the things I really liked about it is how it shows the whole situation from different angles. I think everyone should see it, easy 5/5.

Hot Fuzz (2007) - I know many people love this movie, but I didn't find it that funny. Could be that it's not just my type of humor. Actually, very few comedies manage to make me laugh. 3/5.

Isolation (2005) - This horror flick was a bit different, and quite ok. 4/5.

Se7en (1995) - 4/5.

Singapore Dreaming (2006) - I was looking forward to seeing this one, especially as I might go abroad and study in Singapore soon. I found this movie quite slow and depressing. It has quite a good rating on IMDB, but it wasn't quite my type of movie. 2/5.

I just saw American History X for the first time recently as well, and have to agree that it is an easy 5/5. I missed the first half hour sadly, so I'll have to go back and fill in the gap some time. Powerful movie.

Yeah you must see the first half hour. If I remember correctly, one of the most memorable scenes is in the beginning of the movie. I won't tell you what it is though, you'll have to see for yourself. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I've only seen American History X once. I was very drunk that night, and the guys in charge of the remote just kept replaying the prison rape scene and the scene where he stomps on the guy on the curb. Or maybe they watched the whole thing straight through and I was that drunk.

Wow. Pan's Labyrinth is definitely not a kid's movie.
It was like watching a Soprano's episode. I liked it, but I was shocked
at the captain's brutality. the "bottle" scene... ouch.



don't sweat the petty stuff,just pet the sweaty stuff.

I saw The Day After Tommorow the other day. I liked it. The critics were saying it was s**t. But It was nice.

I also saw the third Pirates of the Caribbean and (imo) it was boring and to long for aaron_da_killa. Every one who saw the movie with me agreed "It was disappointing"

I have to say, for the least plausible and most poorly scripted movie I've ever seen, The Day after Tomorrow was pretty good. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

I saw Fevered Pitch the other day on HBO in a hotel room. It wasn't as bad as I expected, but it was as predictable as any other romantic comedy. I give it a 3/5 because I couldn't tell how bad the acting was due to poor sound quality.

Grave of the Fireflies
A much different perspective on WW2 than we usually see. I liked it a lot.

I've heard from some of my friends that Grave of the Fireflies is the best anime movie around. I gotta watch it sometimes.

The guy narrating that video is so dry, I want him to make a martini.
"The machine is a lot of fun to watch when a lot of marbles fall at once."
Scientifically, it's a lot of fun to watch of course. He doesn't show it in the clip, but he did scientifically calculate a fun-to-watch coefficient and found it had a positive correlation to number of marbles. Otherwise, he never would have known.
