Supposedly, the second one has been greenlit based on DVD sales.

The Expendables

Amazingly for a film with so much action, this was mad boring.

Disappointing.

Longtime Companion
Last Night

[abcdefz]

The American

Pretty good with some really nice photography.

7/10

[BBboy20]

Planet Terror

[trailerprincess]

The Soloist - not very good at all.

[abcdefz]

Eh -- it was all right. I thought Foxx was amazing in COLLATERAL but really expected him to overdo it here and his performance was surprisingly authentic.

[kaiser soze]

Sigur Ros - Heima

awesome besides the sound editing, or my t.v. sound sucks

The Expendables

Story (n)
Action :D

Plot lack a looooooooooot of depth same with some characters but when I went to watch this flick I didnt care about the story at all instead I looked forward to action scenes and it delivered. I loved some those action scene and some are really memorable like Terry Crews blasting enemies with his AA12 was pretty awesome all over. Terry shooting in that scene reminded me of Demoman from Team Fortress 2. The knife throwing combat bits with Jason was cool to see. Its not often you see combat like that in movies. I think Jet Li could have been better with his fight moments. They should have givin it more extended fights. I think all the gun shooting parts of the movie where done so well. I dont really like how they handled the hand-to-hand fights. They busted a Batman Begins with choppy close-up action where it just leaves you trying to figure out who is punching who and what part of the body. I guess I just like the old-school Jackie Chan police stories (and other classic action movies) direction. I would say this close-up fight shots implemented in action movies these days are like what auto-tuner is to singing. Well, finally the movie was a lot of fun to watch. Thats all the nitpick I got.

This Is England - Channel 4 showed it last night seeing as that 86 series is starting.

glad i watched the film the day before cos i was itching to see the series after that. thought the film ended a bit suddenly but the characters were brilliant and the first of the series was a good continuation. next week should be good.

as for men who stare at goats, i couldnt help thinking about the book but clooney was awesome

Dead Mans Shoes is one of my favorite films. I've repp'd it on here a few times.

[Drederick Tatum]

War of the Worlds.

truly awful. Dakota Fanning WOULD NOT STOP SCREAMING. I watched all the way to the end in the vain hope that she'd be horribly disembowelled by the aliens or Cruise himself. impudent son character was not much better. with the world ending all around him he insisted on being a worthless sack of shit with parental issues.

only their deaths could've saved this film.

[Guy Incognito]

more kids films.

The Lion King, never seen it before. The 4 year old handled the death scene remarkably well, she was more concerned with the plot, she couldnt get her round who inherited the throne and why scar was king rather than simbas dad got killed.

Toy Story 3 - again. I know that Pixar would never have done this but:

SPOILER ALERT JUST IN CASE

















When they are all in the incinerator and holding hands, its done so well and is cinematically awesome that i would have totally accepted them all frying as the end. Now i appreciate that would have made millions of kids suicidal but it was really dramatic and well executed

[roosta]

The Last Samurai

This was on telly last night so I decided to give it a shot. I'm mildly fascinated by samurai/samurai films at the moment. I didn't expect much.

It started off very strongly, and for the first half / 2/3rds was pretty decent. The Ninja v Samurai scene was mega.

Sadly it went to complete shit at the end.

Its also a complete hodgepodge of history. Its not that its false, but that they amalgamated about 10 different people, from different periods into one story. They also made the Yanks the bad guys when apparently it was the French.

Still, Ninjas v Samurai.

[trailerprincess]

The Wrestler. Loved it

I totally muted half of the movie for that exact reason, most annoying screaming I have ever witnessed in a film.
I'm not even sure I finished it now that I think of it...

[ToucanSpam]

Machete.

8/10

Very over the top, funny, and sexy. Michelle Rodriguez keeps getting progressively hotter to me. I don't understand it but she does. Good job Danny Trejo.

The last DVD I watched was Batman Begins. Not quite as good as I remember it but finally someone did Batman well. The Dark Knight is even better and I think the third movie will deliver. Chris Nolan is King Midas.

Needless to say I found a way to watch it and yeah, classic Jeunet.. I'll be buying it when it's available here. (y)(y)

I've been watching alot of movies at work on my ipod but most of them are embarassingly bad circa 2000-2004 movies that I missed out on watching first time around because I was too busy going to university/working two jobs.

yeah the Fear Fest has been mostly the 13th series. There have been some flicks tossed in for good measure but there are some classics they've missed that would kick ass - hell American Werewolf in London anyone?!? Amityville Horror (the original), and once again - Poltergeist!

I think they're playing Predator 1 and 2 tonight - that's not horror. Play Carpenters The Thing instead!

Gentleman Prefer Blondes and Black Swan

Gentleman Prefer Blondes was pretty fun to watch considering I've never bothered watching much Marylin Monroe. My favorite part though was Jane Russell's song with all the half naked men. Maybe it's because I've lived near San Francisco for a few years and attend drag shows a lot, but all I could think about how it would make an deliciously over the top drag show skit.

Black Swan was a trip. I liked it a lot but I don't want to say too much because it might spoil it. I want to see it again. (y)

Has anyone see True Grit? I am going to go see True Grit or The Fighter this afternoon.

I am leaning toward True Grit because it is the Coen Brothers and Marky Mark sometimes leaves me flat. I have heard Christian Bale is incredible in The Fighter but that is par for the course because he is always awesome. I will see both movies so I guess it doesn't matter.

[DIGI]

^ Bale's a fucking fruitcake. I know what you mean about Marky Mark. His acting in that M Night Shammalammadingdong movie about the killer wind was horrible. He's a tough nut to crack. In some roles he's amazing and in others he's complete shit.

Whip It: Pretty good.

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Loved it. Nice bounce back. Wes is the man, but Darjeerling Limited sucked balls.

[Yeti]

Bale is off his rocker but he can act. Sometimes Mark Wahlberg's monotone delivery gets on my nerves.

I have decided today that it is True Grit. I am a huge Coen brothers fan and even though this is supposedly a straight forward western I am there. Anyway, I am a man and a man should like westerns and only bathe occasionally dammit!

[DIGI]

Steak! Oil Change! Lifting weights! Vertical urination! True Grit!

[Yeti]

True Grit it was and I give it a thumbs (y) Great dialogue and cinematography. It was weird watching a Coen brother's film without the quirky themes but they did a fantastic job. Bridges was good as was the girl and Damon complimented the film with his character.
Next up on my list...The Fighter.

[saz]

^ Bale's a fucking fruitcake.

no he just has a temper.

[JoLovesMCA]

Bale does have a bad temper but the man can act. Loved him in American Psycho and then when I seen the Machinest he jus blew me away. Too bad youtube and other technology tracks everything everybody does at any given moment and it's blasted for the world to see which means you're a bad bad person. If people youtubed me when I got angry or pissed I guess folks would hate me too!

ANYWAY I love international films especially subtitled ones that are HORROR. Love horror. Just watched an Asian one called Voices. Very bloody and suspenseful!!

You're right. Beating the shit out of your mom and sister's totally understandable.

is that what actually happened? my recollection is that he was charged with "assaulting" them in a hotel room, but that the facts of what he did were that he either yelled at them very loudly or possibly that he pushed his mother brusquely while storming out of the room but that she didn't get hurt or fall down. basically that he "assaulted" them in the way that julian assange "raped" those women in a strictly legal sense but nothing that a layman would describe as "beating the shit out of"

was there another incident that i don't remember?

The King's Speech. Another stellar performance by Colin Firth.

bale was charged with verbal assault in england (yes, you can be charged with that there). the charges were dropped.

[Guy Incognito]

finally watched avatar, pretty good

just had misfortune of watching the worst film i have ever seen. my kids wanted to watch Inspector Gadget 2. stunk.

[NicRN77]

Going the Distance...not bad...cheesy chick flick.

[HEIRESS]

I wouldn't define that movie as a chick flick at all. It was pretty gender neutral as rom-coms go.

[trailerprincess]

Post Grad - awful
Dedication - sort of ok but I have a slight urgh feeling about Bill Crudup after he dumped that nice Parker lady
All About Steve - hmmmm.... well it was interesting to see a film about a 'weird' heroine who doesn't become 'normal' but other than that it was just annoying
Am watching Up in the Air - so far so good

[roosta]

Tron : Legacy

Great fun. Very well done.

[trailerprincess]

Just watched Julia and Julie. Really enjoyed it

[MC Moot]

"Centurion"...I thought it was bloody good fun...the best of it's kind in quite some time...

B-

[M|X|Y]

watched this with a girl for laughs... had 1 star on netflix

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Kim-Cattrall-Sexual-Intelligence/70043290

truly mindblowingly horrible but fun to watch

[TAL]

Not really a movie, but I watched all of Firefly in one sitting last night. Good stuff.

[HEIRESS]

The American - piece of boring shit.

The Social Network - awesome.

Me and Orson Welles - passed the time.

Wall Street: Money never sleeps - thought I'd hate it but it wasn't half bad.

Easy A - not too bad, I enjoyed the roles of her parents the best.

Sorcerer's Apprentice - crap, turned it off half-way

I'm Still Here - absolutely annoying, I knew what i was getting into when I watched it but I still turned it off after 15 minutes.

Somewhere - Some people would call this movie boring, but I just felt really relaxed while watching this which I consider a good thing...good job Sofia.

River's Edge - (y)(y)

Winnebago Man - Best movie I've seen in awhile.

The kids are alright - really good!

Holy Rollers - good, I wanted to like it more but...

[hpdrifter]

Not really a movie, but I watched all of Firefly in one sitting last night. Good stuff.

I started going through those again on streaming netflix.

I love that show.

”Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones”... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070283/)got it for Christmas, essential viewing for the enthusiast and naysayer alike...the best doc/movie I’ve ever seen on them...captures them at the very height of their game...(y)

[Lemmy's Liver]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LUzJAsa-gg
Most remakes fall hard, this one shines. The director's cut = dynamititition come to film.

I am going to watch it another 20 times while drinking scotch off my own tit.

[Lyman Zerga]

'jack and the beanstalk'

fuck yeah!

[NicRN77]

Dinner for Schmucks-terrible!

Inception-holy mind fuck of a movie. I need to watch again!

[jabumbo]

'the machine girl' was pretty amusing and so over the top. i enjoyed it for what it was worth. excessive blood squirting from severed everythings always gets a smile.

[TimDoolan]

Downfall. Best movie I've seen in a while.

[MC Moot]

”44 Inch Chest”... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914837/)British gangsta/revenge flick...kinda reminded me of ”Albino Alligator” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115495/) in that it felt and looked like it was based on a play...same writer as Sexy Beast but with half the result...

[trailerprincess]

Men Who Stare at Goats. Yes, loved it.
Sherlock Holmes. Somewhat surprised that I enjoyed it so much.

[Guy Incognito]

well we have had an unexpected roald dahl day today:

The Witches - brilliant, i'd never seen it and i didnt know much about it. It was really good

Fantastic Mr Fox - Excellent, really good, really different and very funny.

[BBboy20]

The Green Hornet

I want some Kato vision now.

[MC Moot]

"Julie and Julia"...a really pleasant movie and in my top 5 food films for sure...edible cinematography...I enjoyed the Paris storyline alot more than the NYC storyline...thanks to trailerprincess otherwise I probably would have passed on this for along time...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off-never gets old.

'havoc' - movie had some potential, but ended up pretty lame. naked anne hathaway helped make the 90 minutes more worthwhile.

Of Gods and Men

Excellent

[MC Moot]

”American Splendor” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305206/)...Yes I was obscenely late to this party...if you liked it you’d probably also really like ”Crumb” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109508/) in case you haven’t seen it...(y)

Weekend reminder: ”Animal Kingdom” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1313092/) is now available on DVD for excellent viewing pleasure...(y)(y)(y)

[Guy Incognito]

I watched "Its A Trap" yesterday. It was pretty good, took the piss nicely, not as good as the second one but still good

[kaiser soze]

Bomb It - excellent (y)

Goes waaaay beyond graffiti, quite endearing actually - some seriously dedicated artists with some touching stories to their creativity and how it relates to the place they live.

[HEIRESS]

Dinner for Schmucks - not good. at all.

The Last Exorcism - quite good, I liked that it was coming from the point of view of the skeptic priest.

The Ruins - totally decent horror movie, decent cast too.

Solitary Man - Wall street 3.

The Answer Man - As Good as it Gets 2.

Red - it was better than the Expendables, not sure what that means though.

Conviction - Made me cry because i kept thinking in my head if it were my own brother and myself in the same situation, excellent movie and really good performances.

Stone - Robert De Niro needs to retire.

Hallam Foe - (y)

Howl - The animated portions lost my interest at times but otherwise it's definitely a movie that deserved to be made and seen. Franco surprised me with how well he portrayed Ginsberg.

The Freebie - barf, and this actress (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1051221/) has the most annoying baby/pillow talk voice I have ever heard in my life, also have seen her previously in an indie movie called "The Puffy Chair" which she also ruined.

The Exploding Girl - good mainly because its has my female crush Zoe Kazan (http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/admin/uploads/zoe_kazan.jpg) in it.

Jack Goes Boating - I want to say this was a good movie and people should go watch it, but it was just so very slow and depressing. I really enjoyed John Ortiz as Jack's friend.

Freedomland - The only reason I watched it was because it had The Wire cast members in it...

[Planetary]

mulholland drive

good, but also completely fucked up and confusing. read a plot sypnosis after to help me understand.

[HEIRESS]

The King's Speech - Absolutely loved it (y)(y)

Turtles can Fly (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424227/) - My god, an absolute cry-fest. Everyone should watch this film.

[silence7]

Sweet November
Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230838/

Started up the Netflix on the Wii, went to take a piss, and the ex had already started this movie... Told her I would give it 15 minutes to get good or we were back to watching Season 2 of The Office. ended up watching the whole movie and was glad I did.

Movie was a little hard to follow at points until you understood what was going on, but in the end, I liked it, and she didn't.. She thought Charlize's character was a bitch that was just using guys one after the next. I actually thought it was pretty smart on her part not to become attached...

Anyway, that was the "Last" movie I watched..

[MC Moot]

Howl - The animated portions lost my interest at times but otherwise it's definitely a movie that deserved to be made and seen. Franco surprised me with how well he portrayed Ginsberg.


How David Cross wasn't cast as Ginsberg is beyond me...Franco was just a bit too pretty...:confused:

[MC Moot]

”Mother”... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216496/)second time around...very,very,good movie...best described with one word as taut...same director as ”The Host” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468492/)...(y)

[HEIRESS]

How David Cross wasn't cast as Ginsberg is beyond me...Franco was just a bit too pretty...:confused:

Fair enough, David Cross looks exactly like Ginsberg in his later years, not so much as a young man.

Franco is the right age/has a full head of hair I guess it what it came down to.

[MC Moot]

^I think they could have worked out the hair logistic... (http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x265/mcmoot/YoungGinsberg.jpg);)

^Oh...will do...I like that kinda scenario...reminds me of ”Straw Dogs”... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067800/)or ”Backwoods” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473333/)...

Ooo I've never heard of Backwoods.

This genre scares me more than any other type of horror movie because the storylines seem all too probable.

[roosta]

Black Swan

Not impressed at all. Poor show. Portman, however, is excellent in it.

[NicRN77]

Yeah thats a nasty flick.

Oh and the reference word to those teenagers is 'Chavs'.

[Guy Incognito]

Just took my daughter to watch Tangled. Really good actually, bit cheesy but not bad at all

[MC Moot]

"The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"...I don't think it warranted the amount of positive press/acclaim it got....not bad,nothing great...I do wish she would have killed her trustee/rapist...but I suspect he has some part to play in the other ones...

"Cold Comfort Farm"...I saw something in the woodshed...nice little movie for a lazy day...


"Eden Lake"...well that didn't end well at all did it...wow...I was hoping for a deliverance ending...yikes...:eek:

[JoLovesMCA]

I watched The Killer Inside Me with Casey Affleck and it was damn good but disturbing as hell. Some of the murder scenes were SICK. Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson were great. Lots of nude scenes with Jessica but it fit the story so I could deal. It’s a must see!!

[HEIRESS]

The Night Listener - Absolutely not what I expected and therefore pretty good.

Walk on the Moon - I am a sucker for anything about coming of age in the 60s. (y)

The Claim - how I didn't see this until now I have no idea, raw gritty historical dramas = awesome.

Barney's Version - Paul was robbed by not getting nominated for an oscar this year. Minnie Driver played her part perfectly. Oh, and ScottSpeedmanScottSpeedmanScottSpeedman ;)

Peacock - fucked up and good.

Shrink- Drugs, man.

Crossing Over - Getting sick of ensemble cast Oooo look at all these separate stories lines converging at the end movies. meh.

[Planetary]

The King's Speech

Got dragged in not knowing much about the film, Got dragged back out again.

Really really good. A solid plot with a subtle hint of black comedy and light hearted humour.

Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush are excellent, Helena Bonham Carter is...Helena Bonham Carter.

heh, but Kootenay dwellers are a whole 'nother sub-level of BC'er compared to me! Will try and check it out though!

Welcome to the Rileys (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183923/) Totally worth checking out, even Kristen Stewart managed to add something decent to it.

I saw "The Backwoods" and goddamn did Gary Oldman do a good job in this film. Also I am now addicted to this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56hiB4eTzBE) because of the film

Ordinary People (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081283/) All i thought the whole time is how similar Robin Williams portrayal of a therapist was to Judd Hirsch's own.

[Guy Incognito]

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

Ridiculous but entertaining. loads going on. good tunes. made me feel young again and too old in equal parts

The Adjustment Bureau

eh, wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either.

[BBboy20]

Rango, Rango, Rango.

[venusvenus123]

True Grit

Loved every minute. Well, apart from the ending. The Cohen brothers are such geniuses.... genii?

Jeff Bridges surpassing the dude as his best character, and Hailee Steinfeld astonishingly good.

Oh and the cinematography was brilliant too.

[kaiser soze]

Inception and Legend of the Guardians (excellent animation and a nice dark tone..this one truly flew under the radar)

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

Ridiculous but entertaining. loads going on. good tunes. made me feel young again and too old in equal parts

Picked this up as well - going to watch it soon

BBboy20 - Rango, Rango, Rango.

Shutter Island, bit disappointing

[Guy Incognito]

watched Scooby Doo movie with the kids before, some thoughts:

1) Rowan atkinson sold out massively didnt he?
2) Velma was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hot
3) Liked the fact they recognised that Scrappy Doo was biggest mistake anyone ever made in the universe
4) Isla Fisher doesnt look as fit with blonde hair
5) Its a pretty shit film

[Guy Incognito]

Mr Nice.

Nice adaptation. ha!

[Guy Incognito]

sex , drugs and rock & roll. Ian Dury story. Excellent

[Guy Incognito]

The Social Network. Ok but i sort of hated everyone in it.

I have been off work sick and watched too many films over last few days

[roosta]

Norwegian Wood

Very good. And very faithful to the book. Obviously, not as good as the novel, they had to cut a good bit out, but other wise very well made adaptation.

[Dorothy Wood]

bronson.

quite disappointing. there wasn't enough insight into the character, and it was very slow and tedious.

ugh, yeah, that movie sucks. It seemed like it was going to be so good! no dice!



I watched 13 Going on 30...heh. It's actually a pretty thoughtful movie, I enjoyed watching it.

I saw the Adjustment Bureau before that. It was pretty silly, and not very deep, but it was cute. I probably wouldn't watch it again, but I'd recommend it to my mother.

[BBboy20]

How was it? Looking forward to seeing it next weekendI would easily say anyone who enjoys a good flick but I'll just say anybody who enjoys Depp "weirdness" (this one on the subtle level), westerns, or just weird flicks in general (once again, on the subtle level...mostly).

The Battle for Los Angeles.
