The Movie-Related Discussion Thread [Archive]

This is just a consolidated thread for any and all movies you saw recently that will contain information about your comments about that particular movie. Rather than creating a thread for all movies (shitty and good), lets have a consolidated thread which has info about movies.

The movies I saw recently are:

40 year old virgin: Overall a decent film with some truly funny parts but over the top language and unnecessary nudity that felt out of place. Overall a B grade comedy.

Guess Who: After the movie was over, I was really doubting if I had to actually even smile somewhere. Overall an F grade piece of shit.

Legend of Zorro: A B grade action film, nothing like the original, just meh for the most part. Got interesting for like 10 minutes then went back to meh. Worth the price of admission if you watched zorro series on tv.

Chronicles of Narnia: Overall a very well made but rushed in the end. Character development was off. It was trying too hard to be an epic film and then fall flat especially the ending battle could've been so much more. Overall a must watch movie, if you had any ties w/ the series/movie earlier.

Transporter 2: If it wasn't sexy Jason Statham and some nice cars, I would've not even bothered. Everything was lame about this film. The CG sucked horse shit, storyline sucked horse shit, action was decent. If it were to last longer than 1 hour 20 minutes, I would've totally broken that DVD.

Four Brothers: Damn nice movie, very well made, and had its fun parts. It is not exactly a movie worth watching over and over, but I guess I will watch it one second time. Overall, a well made movie worth my collection. Maybe I liked it so much because I watched Transporter 2 before it. I don't know but it was good entertainment.

Lord of War: Fuckin' A movie. Loved it. Watched it twice already. Nicholas Cage finally in a good movie.

The Island: Fuckin' A movie. I know I am a bit late on it, but good Sci-Fi shit. Worth my collection.

I watched a few others but I don't remember about them. Post which new movies you watched or whichever movie you watched. If it will be worth watching I would get it. I am waiting on King Kong. Btw how is exorcism of emily rose, I was quite close to getting that one too.

I just bought it recently on impulse, and was definitely happy to have made the purchase.

I especially loved the ending.

It's too bad he was all afraid of AIDS, as that could have made for a great sex scene ala Blood Rayne.

Also, is Transporter 2 anything like the first? My guilty pleasure is that the first is a silly, stupid, fun little popcorn movie. Come on, blocking a LAW with a god damned dinner plate? PISH-AW!

But still popcorn worthy.

The first actually had the charm of some realism. This one is flat out bullshit. He runs a fucking audi from one building to another and lands it in another construction building w/o a sweat. He also does a flip of audi so that the bomb device underneath is taken off by a fucking crane's hook. I do not know how to explain it further. It also has the worst CG for aeroplane crash (in air and in water). It just flat out blows.

The only saving grace for this movie was that they showed murcileago. That about it.

dont remember excactly what movies, but i watched troy last night (dont have anything new to watch.. bleh).
ON TROY: they should remake, with the gods and how the thing was really written, not sum holloywood poopoo.
But Troy got Brad Pitt. You don't need anything else. On that note, Mr & Mrs Smith was a good movie but they totally fucked it up because:

1) They didn't show Angelina Jolie's tits
2) They had an extremely lame ending fight scene that made as much sense as a woman riding a donkey's cock. I mean, not every person on the planet can't shoot two sitting ducks eh?
3) Did I mention, they did not show Jolie nude, who the fuck does that?

Walk the Line: Impressive. I didn't know Reese Witherspoon had actual talent. Good Soundtrack too.

Chronicles of Narnia: I already did a thread about this. Good shit. As for the character development lacking, I re-read the books and since they're kids books, the characters don't really develop all that much.

King Kong: Good mindless fun (screw what 2lions says). And Naomi Watts is hot.

Harry Potter 4: Pretty good, although they rushed through the story and I feel dirty cause I think Hermione is hot.

That's all I can think of for now.

I just saw 12 Angry Men and it was great. I haven't seen a proper non-bullshit movie for a while. I loved back when being politically correct didn't matter. The jury were men and the judge was a man. You don't see characters like the one Henry Fonda played anymore. The guy Ed Binns played was awesome as well.

SuperDavidGT

I liked the way they did Troy. Peterson knows how to make a good movie, you can't deny that, and at the very least he was brave enough to see what would work on the big screen and what wouldn't. The film is far, far more believable than the epic poems it was based on.

It basically comes down to what works best in the imagination and what works best on the big screen.

I can't remember seeing any movies recently, I but I do remember watching the batman dvd again. Now that is how comic book movies should be done. In the vein of Xmen and Spiderman, it really shows that graphic novels give a lot to work with... and by god does the batmobile kick ass.

And Sin City: well, it was good, for sure... but I wouldn't want to see it again. The comic book style is brilliant and works really well on the big screen, but there was just something about that movie that seemed a little over the top, but that's just my opinion.

Lord of War - bought it up without seeing it (i do that too much) and it paid off. Awesome flick and killer intro.

The Island - another purchase made without seeing it and it worked in my favor again. WAY underrated and I'm thinking that the film geeks have something personal against Michael Bay. The car chase alone is worth the price of admission. Real stunts > CG.

Shaolin Soccer - Just go buy it. It's ridiculous.

Adaptation - Not for everyone but I raelly did love this flick. Picked it up used at Blockbuster for on $6!

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas: Criterion Collection - Most of us already know how rad this movie is but the special features disc has a priceless 1 hour documentry about Hunter S. Thompson that was filmed in 1978. After watching it you'll see that Johnny Depp played the part EXACTLY to the way Hunter carried himself. Good stuff there.

Kingpin (NBC miniseries 2003) - 5+ hours of brutal mexican drug cartel drama. Think of it as a cross between "Traffic" & "Blow" and you get the idea. The DVD is fairly cheap (about $30 US) and it's split up into 6 45min episodes. It's a producers cut too so you'll get all the tittie and other goodies that were cut from the broadcast version.

Well shit is right then. Grins I doubt, since calling your friend a boss is fucked up. If he became your boss and you share no love anymore, only then you will call him boss. Otherwise, at the movies he is your friend, and not your fucking boss.

Anyways, I watched the Man. It was a 1 hr 19 minute movie and some parts of it were genuinely funny. It is worth a rental. Overall, had it been 1 hr 20 minutes, I would've broken the DVD.

I also started watching Aeon Flux and it sucked horse cock. I watched it for like 40 minutes and literally was asleep during 10 minutes / 40. The storyline was as cliche as it gets and there was absolutely nothing compelling me to watch it. What a waste of Charlize Theron.

I guess if Charlize doesn't show her tits every once in a while, I doubt she can act worth shit.

I thought it was far too long, and the characters were all quite poorly realised. Bana's character was a little too stereotypical (and has weird sexual fantasies) and the other team members were about as complex as duplo. The palestinians belonged on team america, not a supposed "unbiased portrayal". Pacing seemed poor, the violence was stupid and over the top, the mixing of sex and death was disturbing, and the ending... my god, not even LOTR dragged on that long.

Good call. I saw Kingdom of Heaven in theaters a while back, and rented it to show it to my parents about a month ago. Good storytelling, even if the set up is a little silly. I found a few things weird about the movie (if the knights are french, why do they have english accents?), and I think Orlando Bloom wasn't really the best choice for the role of Balien, but the guy they got to play Saladin was fucking perfect. He just had the classic look of a long-faced, desert-hardened arab. Good stuff.

Kingdom of Heaven was good as in the war scenes were pretty fucking cool shit, sound was awesome. Some of the story in between felt dragged on a bit but not so much, I guess, athiests may not appreciate it as much as men/women of religion. Some issues pertaining to religion were well highlighted.

Its more of a movie that you either hate, love or don't care, rather than a unanimous, this fucking sucks horse shit (ala bloodrayne).

The Prophecy Uprising. It was an ok movie, not as repulsive as some others I have seen. And it was based in Romania. Half the time I watched the movie to see how much Romania sucks or is ahead of Pakistan. The other half the time, it kept some sort of suspense before it went complete ape shit. Overall, I would rate it a C+ or B-. Its an ok movie if you liked Constantine.

Constantine I rate a B so this was somewhat close to it and had a similar theme. All in all, I still believe Omen movies were far better than these pieces of shit.

Awesome movie, bar the depression. Then again, I like movies like this as they're more real. Things don't work out in the end. Not everyone is happy. Though, there is hope. It's like a tradgedy, except not nearly enough people die. Without posting any spoilers, I will note that it isn't what it seems. On the surface it looks like a funnyish movie about a Weatherman and how his life sucks, but it is more about a man, how his life sucks, and how even at his best life can still laugh in his face. In the end, I enjoyed the message of the movie and the view of weathermen in general. It was insightful with some powerful cinematography, plenty of great acting, an awesome score, and a sprinkling of nudity to boot.

I'll be snatching this when it hits the shelves.

History of Violence was O.K.

There was a small bit of action here and there, with a painful amount of nudity (see: 5 minute shot of Viggo's butt, and I'm not talking about his chin) and a lot of lull. I enjoyed it in terms of naked wife and action, but the climax was anticlimactic and the overall story was drawn out. I liked the concept of a man that went undercover and adopted a new life, but that didn't save the movie from dragging now and again. I think it's also rather ridiculous that Viggo's character's brother got a nomination for best supporting actor. What is that all about? He wasn't in the movie for all but 5 minutes in the end, and those few minutes weren't anything spectacular. What, did they run out of movies with supporting actors? Pshaw.

I agree with the comment regarding the brother, he was a tad pissing off and definately didn't deserve a nomination but for the me the movie was fucking A. I really liked Mortensen's transition from a peace loving guy to total bad ass. What I did not like however was his kid (fucking annoying) and his wife's titties (where were they?).

Ночной Дозор (Nochnoy dozor) or Night Watch in english. Cool russian movie. A Matrix style, Moscow based, fantasy story. It's not made at Hollywood so its worth a try.

RADiator

February 9th, 2006, 05:57 AM

Coming from the person who red the books, Night Watch is a tremendous disappointment. Timur Bekmambetov (director) deserves a Uwe Boll award for this piece.
Even its western rip-off Constantine, excuse me I believe the proper term for it now a days is "movie inspired by" turned out to be worlds better.

Misty

February 9th, 2006, 07:23 AM

Well, I didn't read the books so I can't judge that, but Constantine was not inspired by Night Watch. It was inspired by some comic books and I think it was awful.

RADiator

February 9th, 2006, 10:34 AM

I agree, apart from the fabulous play of Peter Stormare there is arguably nothing to see in that picture.
As of influence I was referring to Night Watch, the work of Sergey Lukianenko as in comparison to Constantine and the Russian "adoptation" (ughh). Granted it is not the direct "port" of the idea, however it is undeniable that some of the scenes are almost directly related to its literature counterparts.
On a side note I also would like to emphasise that the books (Night Watch, Day Watch and Shadow Watch) are actually a very worthy read. Even though I do not know weather they have been translated to other languages or not, but if they have I highly recommend. Some of the actual ideas they convey (those that never even made it to the movie) are in all honesty something to think about.

I just finished watching "Oldboy". I normally don't go for Asian movies because they tend to have no real plot. Like, for example, Ichi the Killer. I watched that about a week ago, it was more boring than that movie about Roman Jews.

Anyway, "Oldboy" is about a guy who gets kidnapped and locked in a crappy room. After 15 years he gets released and is given a ton of money. The whole movie is about finding out why he was locked up. You'd guess that some sick fuck with a lot of money locked him up for fun. But no, not really. The story is very original and very interesting. The only reason you should avoid this movie is if you're one of those idiots that has a hard time following a slightly complicated plot.

@future man: To be honest I have no idea. I paid little attention to the opening as well as closing credits (even if anything was indeed mentioned about it there in the first place).
I watched it on my PC by the way. So the actual file was of little indication as well.

The original version is narrated by Fords character and I believe has a different ending, if you were a big fan of the film both versions are worth checking out as they'll leave you with different ideas on how it ultimately ends.

As for recently watched movies, I just saw Red Eye, and opposite of what the trailers made me think it looked like it was a really god damn good thriller.

Or is it due to the inability of a person responsible for the realization of the title to comprehend a story fully? Long story short I saw Aeon Flux the other day, big mistake.

I watched The Mechanik (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435696/) yesterday. It's pretty awesome. I mean, the entire thing can be summarized with this screenshot.

http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/3933/83xq.jpg

No stupid love stories, no stupid "I realized my humanity and I'm going to write a poem" crap. Just awesomeness. They even threw in a bunch of tits and a prostitute being blown away with a shotgun.

The day before that I watched Ran (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089881/). Wasted a few good hours of my life. I mean, the story sounded great! A warlord divides his kingdom between his sons, and two of them betray him. A story fit for lots of battles. Instead the camera just follows an old guy who goes insane and his man-whore while they ... do nothing.

It's full of stupid crap like this.

Why stay with this mad old man? If the rock you stay on starts to roll, jump clean. Or you'll go with it and be squashed. Only a fool stays aboard.

Equilibrium - Wow. Just plain wow. Take your standard bleak future, grand leader, awkward and inefficient doorway movie, and then add some good... No, awesome... No, bad-ass gunplay. Seriously, it's not an action movie, it's a sci-fi movie through and through, but the Gun Kata... Man, that is the ship. One good part: People that die! No 20-rounds-to-the-heart-but-I'm-a-villian-so-I-can't-die-just-yet, these folks drop like they should.

I wasn't comparing fanbases to families, I was comparing expendability. You can write off characters, replace them, write those ones off, and so on and so on.

On a whole level, you can replace each soldier over and over, at an individual level, there's only one Bob Hepner in the entire world, and if he were to die there'd be no other Bob Hepner.

But we're personal with characters, impersonal with masses, at least in this arguement.

I should've known I'd get in "trouble" by saying that, but I expected the people here to either not care, or just brush over the comment for face value.

Allright. I dig your crazy music.

New James Bond Movie: Casino Royale

Staring Daniel Craig As Bond, in case you didn't hear.

http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/9924/jamesbond9vw.jpg

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5599/grittybond9qd.jpg

Fewer gadgets and more grit (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060310/film_nm/bond_dc_1), apparently.

Fri Mar 10, 12:39 PM ET

MIAMI (Reuters) - Forget the gadgets, invisible cars and exploding space stations. The next James Bond movie is going to be pure grit, real stunts and a spy who fumbles a kill, falls in love and dislikes violence, the makers say.
ADVERTISEMENT

"Casino Royale," the 21st movie featuring the debonair English superspy, takes Bond back to the start of Ian Fleming's series, when he carries out his initial two assassinations and first earns his license to kill.

There'll be no computer-generated imagery, the prologue is in black and white "to shake everybody up," and the MI6 agent, played for the first time by English actor
Daniel Craig, will take a while to get into his trademark tuxedo.

"At the end of it he's sort of honed into the Bond, the emotionally shut-down beautiful machine that Bond's become," director Martin Campbell told reporters this week on a visit to the movie set in the Bahamas.

But on the way to being the smooth, unruffled, lady-killer 007 fans have grown accustomed to, Craig as the first blond Bond, will clearly show a more human side.

"The great thing about it is that he makes mistakes and screws up. Bond finds violence hard to take, he won't admit to that. He has to do two killings, one is very messy. He falls in love with a girl, genuinely falls in love," said Campbell.

There is no "Q," no "Moneypenny" and only "a little bit of gadgetry," in the movie due for release in November and being distributed by Columbia Pictures, a Sony Pictures Entertainment unit, he said.

Craig, 38, said the Bond he hopes to portray begins as "sort of fallible." The script doesn't shy away from the sexism that marked early Bond movies but which has since been diluted.

"But he's Bond, he's not always nice," Craig said.

"Edgy" and "gritty" are the adjectives most commonly flung around by those involved in the movie.

ACTION GALORE

"He's a hard guy, that's the difference I think," said special effects supervisor Chris Corbould.

There will be plenty of action.

In a chase scene set on the African island of Madagascar but filmed in the Bahamas, Bond tries to run down terrorist Mollaka in a bulldozer, and then follows him on foot through a construction site, jumping from a 140-foot (43-meter) crane to a 120-foot (37-meter) crane.

Mollaka is played by Sebastien Foucan, French co-founder of a popular urban sports trend called Freerunning, or Parkour, and his powerful running style makes Bond appear clumsy.

But Bond's relentless determination is supposed to shine through as he scrambles after Mollaka through a Madagascar shantytown and jungle.

The film will be a departure from the explosives- and gizmo-laden spectacles seen in 2002's "Die Another Day," or 1995's "GoldenEye," which was also directed by Campbell.

"Even after 'GoldenEye' I remember remarking, thinking, how many control rooms, how many madmen can take over the world?" Campbell said. "Where the hell do you go with it? Do you get another madman, do you blow up another control room? How many space stations can you take?"

Co-producer Michael Wilson of EON Productions said the invisible car in "Die Another Day" had begun to dip the hugely successful movie series into the realm of the unbelievable.

"Technology was beginning to overwhelm the story and the characters," Wilson said.

The latest movie in a 44-year franchise that has grossed almost $4 billion since "Dr. No," starring Sean Connery, was screened in 1962, "Casino Royale" will be a return to the roots, said co-producer Barbara Broccoli.

That was one reason why EON dumped Pierce Brosnan, the most successful of the five Bond actors to date, and is taking a gamble with a new, younger face, she said.

"If you don't grow and change you die and we felt this was the right time and the right story to tell, and Daniel was the right guy to do it," Broccoli said. "So here we are."

That V flick looks like one of the retarded films of the year. What the fuck is with that mask? Ok as bad as the mask is, it has nothing on the AWEFUL 50's style pinup girl bangs hanging over his forehead. That and it's made by the lame ass Matrix dudes. Screw those overrated fuckholes.

I'm sorry, each time I see the dumb preview for this movie I get angry and want to hurt myself to replace the pain that this movie causes me. It's only a movie....no, it's beating me. It's won. I lose.

I thought V4V was amazing and as long as you buy into V's character, you'll think so as well.

Otherwise, it'll simply be hilarious.

Either way, it's a positive experience.

Well for starters the plot was pretty damn lame, the acting sucked and there wasn't a single drop of blood through out the movie. Besides that, the special effects raped my eyes and so did the cliched black dude who has to crack some lame jokes (that HAVE to include the word Homie, Dog etc) and die like a dog.

Bloodrayne looked like total anus and apparently it was: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bloodrayne/

They keep making terrible movies because some people are willing to see them *cough*wmgreer*cough*, no offence but you said you "wanted" to see Fantastic 4......0_o, after 20 seconds into the preview I could smell a shittastic movie in the works. People need to stop paying money to see gay movies like Bloodrayne, Fantastic 4, The Hills Have Eyes etc and hopefully they'll stop making them.

I had the unfortunate luck of watching the new Ice Age. Although it was a relatively funny movie, the story was fragmented. It was as though they found a bunch of funny jokes to film and tried to mash them all up together using the movie characters. The once funny squirrel running after his nut, was used over and over eventually killing it.

Not bad movie for the kids though. Definitely not as good as the first. And I wished I had seen inside man instead.

Its not that, ratings are relative to hype that I build up for myself, they fucked the whole king kong thing IMO. So much hype, but when I saw it, I thought, wtf am I doing here, needless to say that I still want my 2.25 hours back.

The Fog, well I went in expecting a piece of shit, and came out without ever wanting to bash my monitor for watching the movie (like king kong) so it was pretty average for me. Plus it was like 1.45 hours. Didn't really matter as it was over soon.

Got it?

OMG I just saw an ad for the LOTR showings on TBS, and they have some song playing over clips of Frodo and Sam called "Secret Lovers" or something like that. I thought it was just hilarious they were going that far with the advert, but at least they are saying what we all felt about the relationship being a little more than a "friendship" between a guy and his gardener,

I liked King Kong because the effects were fantastic and the story is intersting, if not very complicated. It's a popcorn movie with a little more substance than the usual.

King Kong was hardly complicated, and everyone knows how the story goes. I thought King Kong was good but nothing to be amazed by.

King Kong was nowhere near as good as people made it out to be and don't give me the cinema shit since I watched the video on a 12*9 feet screen w/ my home theatre and it still sucked horse shit. The story, what story? The acting, what acting? You like Jack Black for fuck sakes? And a huge ass Kong falling in love with a skinny little bitch.. seriously wtf?

It was totally useless for Peter Jackson to make a shitty movie. I saw his interviews and the only reason I can think of for making this movie was coz he had a fetish for giant apes.

Meh, WGARA has a point. Most movies that are coming out are stupid "touchy" shit. Why the fuck is a giant gorilla falling in love with some dumb whore? He's a giant gorilla! Unleash the goddamn beast! Stomp some hospitals! Beat your chest! It's the same thing with war movies. Instead of non-stop action and carnage, 30 minutes of the movie is crap like a guy looking at a picture of his kids or feeding some Africans. I don't download pay to see this shit. It's a waste of time.

I saw Lucky Number Slevin yesterday. I thought it would be more of a comedy from the trailer, but it's actually a thriller. It's good.

The cast is damn good: Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett is actually decent, and Lucy Liu is, as always, hot.

Saw V4V last night. Bad. Bad bad bad bad bad.

How does one get the balls to spend 2.5 hours of just propping up a masked psychopath onto a pedestal through mundane and self-obsessed dialogue, then have the nerve to include a bullet-time scene with knives? I dont know what the end effect was supposed to be, but I felt like I was watching Jesus leading the Bolsheviks in the March Revolution. Fascist England replaced with Communist England, all for some "idea". But what the hell was the idea? They never once showed any glimmer of hope these people had, they never really captured just how oppressed these people were, so why would I care whether or not if their government was overthrown if they sit there watching a revolution without giving a shit?

Revenge movies work when it's clearly a revenge movie. This one tried way too hard to be a revolution movie, and fell on it's ass. Fucking Wachowski brothers, they need to pull their heads out of their asses and either make a real film or find a new job.
