lightningtiger Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Two weeks ago for me at the cinema....HP7 part 1.....totally AWESOME and can't wait for part 2.....but poor Dobby ! Keep on watching COOL movies ! Quote
def Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I watched Scott Pilgrim for the second time tonight. It's really a remarkable film. The comic is enjoyable, but I think the movie really trumps it. I'm from Toronto, so the setting kills me (location two, Casa Loma, is awesome, and, when I was in T.O. there was no night watch, so you could hop the fence and walk the grounds at night, an awesome, awesome memory). The integration of vocals and CGI are really fluid, and totally unexpected from the director, Wright, who's never done this sort of thing before. Except for the gaudy colors of Ramona Flowers, I love it all. Though if I were Scott, I would've gone for Knives at the end. I'll watch this every few years or so in the future. It reminds me of being 21. Quote

Captain Becker Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Agnieszka Holland - The Secret Garden One of my fav movies. Captain Becker Quote
Sisco Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Last night, I went to a double feature with my family for Christmas. My uncle and I saw Tron, and it was amazing. I loved the story, and the games scenes were epic. The effects were pretty good. Then we saw HP7 (I for the second time), and it was as good as ever. One of my favorite movies. Quote

It reminds me of being 21. I watched it again with cast commentary last night, interesting and entertaining. I've seen that movie far too many times, and I still love it. I suggest you watch the deleted scenes, particularly the alternate ending. I watched them with commentary from Edgar Wright, and learnt quite a bit about the decisions and such that were made during the whole process of making the film. Now, other movies I've seen recently: The Punisher (2005 version) - Love it. Partly because The Punisher is a favourite Marvel character, partly because Thomas Jane plays him so well, partly because he's a total bad-ass. How to Train Your Dragon - Gave this another watch, and still think it's a brilliant film. Good fun. Mutant Chronicles - I watched this after getting The Punisher, because this also has Thomas Jane in it. It's also got Ron Perlman (Hellboy), so yeah. It wasn't bad, if a bit clichéd. RED - Retired, Extremely Dangerous. Another fun movie based on a graphic novel, with Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich... Good cast, good movie. Zombieland - Another great movie. Grindhouse: Death Proof - Tarantino's half of the Grindhouse double feature. I watched this for 2 reasons, 1) I had seen Planet Terror and had been meaning to see Grindhouse's other half, and 2) It has Mary Elizabeth Winstead in it. So yeah, I think I've finally exhausted my movies now... Quote
Once In A Lifetime Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 The last movie I've seen in theaters would have to be Tron. Really, really good movie. Last movie I've seen on my good old TV had to be Resident Evil Afterlife. Again, pretty good movie. I think that's just because I love everything to do with Resident Evil. Quote
charlieboy Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I watched Toy Story 3 tonight with my son,gets a big thumbs up from me,had to hold back the tears at the end tho Quote
Enpaz Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I just saw "American Gangster" on television and it is a pretty good film! En plus, it's based on a true story. Very thrilling at times, especially in the end, so I'd recommend watching it if you see it on TV sometime. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I watched 'New Kids Turbo' in our cinema yesterday. It's a Dutch film so I think most of you don't know it. There was so much violence and cursewords in the movie that after a while it started to bore me and the story wasn't very good either.. But there were funny parts in it as well. (on a range from 1-5 and 5 is the best, I would give this one 3). Quote
TheMasterChief Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I just saw Inception and Tron:Legacy. They were both truly amazing. Quote
Lord Embo Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Harry Potters 1-6, How to Train Your Dragon, all 6 Star Wars films, Up and Knight and Day. Lord Embo Quote
Pinky Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Star wars 4-6 then 1-3, novastar hadn't seen any of the SW films in 28 years no small achievement IMO Pinks Quote
NovaStar Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Star wars 4-6 then 1-3, novastar hadn't seen any of the SW films in 28 years no small achievement IMO Pinks And now very much a fan Quote
5150 Lego Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Saw Tron - Legacy. Didn't live up to all the hype. I mean the visuals were excellent. Probably the best I've seen in recent memory, but the story, the pace of the movie... all lacked. Even got a bit boring at times. Quote
SilentMode Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 At the cinema? The newer Tron movie. Twas just okay. Quote
Zeya Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Over Christmas when my mother was in town we watched "Temple Grandin". It stars Claire Danes as a young woman who has autism and ends up going to college and eventually comes up with some very interesting innovations for cattle processing (butchering), uh, farms I guess you would call them. It was pretty good, but the way the main character is always yelling becomes grating after a while. What can I say, it was a movie my mom brought with her. :) We also saw Toy Story 3, which was definitely good, but was maybe a little too dark in parts. Creepy cock-eyed baby doll, anyone? Quote
iamded Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Fantastic Four- Ew. The first one wasn't too bad, was it? Having said that I'm a sucker for all Marvel movies... On topic, I saw Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls again last night, for the first time in about 7 years. I also started watching Serenity, but stopped because when it finishes I'll have watched through all of Firefly again. It had such potential too... Quote
Lego Wargammer Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 saw "True Grit" in one word...Awsome Quote
JimBee Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 saw "True Grit" in one word...Awsome Agreed! As my first Western flick, I was unsure of what to expect, but certainly not disappointed. The acting was great, I really liked the marshal character. Quote
sok117 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Agreed! As my first Western flick, I was unsure of what to expect, but certainly not disappointed. The acting was great, I really liked the marshal character. I saw it with my brother and dad, and while we all agreed that Matt Damon did an excellent job, and Jeff Bridges did really well too, we thought that the girl was forgettable in a sense, she got to the point where she was rather annoying. The story was cool and there were bits of humor that I though enjoyable "cut him down I might know him" *woosh* "I do not know this man" all and all I thought it was good, but at the end we were regreting not seeing "the kings speech" instead, perhaps someone who saw both movies could tell me which they preferred.

Tyrant Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Agreed! As my first Western flick, I was unsure of what to expect, but certainly not disappointed. The acting was great, I really liked the marshal character. For whatever it's worth, don't expect the same kind of movie from the other Coen Bros. movie that is in the same vain as Westerns (even though it takes place today), No Country for Old Men. While that movie is also quite good (in my opinion) it is very nihilistic. Depending on what you liked about it, some other Westerns that are among the better ones I have seen are Tombstone, Silverado, and Pale Rider. Honorable mention to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. But I haven't watched a ton of Westerns (not a single John Wayne movie) so take that for what you will. Those movies aren't big on humor, for instance (though they have their moments). I also recently watched True Grit and I thought it was pretty good. I was surprised that the Coen Bros made a PG 13 movie since most of the recent movies have been R (I think), but there were still the scenes of sudden and graphic violence that I have come to expect from them and it wasn't toned down as much as I thought it would be (the cabin scene).

JimBee Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I saw it with my brother and dad, and while we all agreed that Matt Damon did an excellent job So well, in fact, that I didn't even know he was in it until the credits. we thought that the girl was forgettable in a sense, she got to the point where she was rather annoying. Agreed on that as well. Also, not to sound sexist, but I thought she was way too knowledgeable and snappy for girl of that age in that time. While not particularly annoying, I think that it was historically inaccurate. Not many people knew how to read or write during that time, especially women who were discouraged to learn. I think. It might've been earlier than when this took place. For whatever it's worth A lot, actually, thanks for your tips. I'll check into a few of those other Westerns you suggested. Quote
