Last Saturday, I watched Team America: World Police. It was so funny! But it was a very, very, very adult movie. It’s definitely a movie you won’t forget! But it was written by the guys who made South Park. The puppet idea was great. I thought that overall, it was a great movie.
I watched the film The Trench with Daniel Craig last night. It’s about the day before and the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and having just visited the Somme and Ypres and other similar places last week, it was even more hard-hitting than it would have been. Great film, though, as it really manages to re-create the horrors of the Great War. Nine out of ten from me.
Yes! I finally got The Lion King on DVD, and the quality is so clear and clean! Beautiful, wonderful, incredible, unforgettable, impossible to take eyes away from once it’s started, memory-revivng movie. I just love Simba as a cub. “Danger-ha! I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger. Ha-ha-ha-ha!” hears hyenas; gasps; quickly skedaddles.
The Lion King? Haven’t seen that in years.
I was gonna hold off on saying it until it came out, but… I saw a pre-screening of Drag Me to Hell and it is INCREDIBLY SCARY!!! 9/10! Great, campy horror film!
I’m so jealous of you, I love the Evil Dead films and cannot wait to see that. Glad to hear you call it campy. Very sad that comes out the same weekend as Up because I want to see both at their midnight screenings.
Monsters Vs. Aliens was a severe disappointment for me, I felt as if they dragged out each joke far to long. When a joke fell flat, like when the lead alien starts cloning himself, I just found it annoying. Also there is some very poor taste in the war room near the start.
As for what I am looking forward to…
Where the Wild Things Are is something that just gives off the feeling that it is going to be amazing , and I love Spike Jones’s video work. I’m looking forward to Avatar because it’s a very high budget sci-fi/action/romance film with an original script not based on an existing property.
I would recommend seeing DMTH at midnight only because it would increase the scare factor, but definitely see Up after the major release with family or friends because I’ve been told by someone who saw a pre-screening in Austin, TX that it is hilarious and fun.
And I second your opinion on Where the Wild Things Are. Totally brilliant. In fact, I started a thread about that film not too long ago! You should definitely look for it!
Cool! Glad to know there’s someone out there with the same tastes in film. Although I think I liked Monsters Vs. Aliens a bit more than you did. 6.5/10.
I was thinking about seeing that. Plus it does look REALLY scary. Now that you said it was good, I’ll probably go see it.
I’ve never seen any scary movie. Yeah, don’t laugh.
So, you just don’t like horror movies. Understandable.
Just saw Disneynature’s Earth. It was specatacular! Breathtaking! Beautiful! Intense! I could use so many adjectives to describe it…the [spoil]dancing bird impressing his “date” cracked me up…especially when the “date” cautiously left afterwards. [/spoil]. Oh, and they quoted Toy Story with the ducklings! “I wouldn’t call it flying more than falling with style.” I smiled at that part.
Just saw that too bright dot-dasher! I seriously cried when [spoil]The caribou died, that was the story that affected me the most for some reason[/spoil].
I indavertently saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past last night. I thought some of the dialogue was too raunchy and there were too few authority figures and yet, because of how much I was consistently laughing in this, and that’s a BIG step up for a Matthew McConaughey movie, I’d give it a 6.5/10. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s looking for some laughs, nothing too heavy, and someone who can accept the raunchiness.
I recently saw Lupin lll, the directorial debut of Hayao Miyazaki. It was ok. It was either that the film was very original, or it’s been ripped off many times… Hard telling which. Overall, I’d give it probably a 6.8/10.
I just saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was really good, although a lot of people died in it.
Haven’t seen many films recently; I’m gonna buy Edward Scissorhands though.
I love movies, and I have a lot of favorites, so I’ll just go 'head and post them here.
Excluding all Pixar films, some of my favorite films go to (No particular order)…
Little Miss Sunshine
Catch Me If You Can
Million Dollar Baby
Slumdog Millionaire
Schindler’s List
American Beauty
Pulp Fiction
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The Wrestler
Forrest Gump
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The Pianist
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Indiana Jones series
I absolutely love everything to do with Roger Rabbit! Did you here Robert Zemeckis might make a second? Even though I’m a big fan, I still just think that would ruin it for me.
There actually was a sequel in the making over a decade back. I am not entirely sure why the film was shot down, but I believe it was either because there was a marketing dispute between Disney and DreamWorks, or Michael Eisner canceled its production due to budgets.
I never heard of that! but then again, I wasn’t born. It looks like he looking at it again.
