Just watched a movie ? let us know what you just watched with a simple watch, Avoid or if your bored next to it.

Lets face it people dont have the same taste in movies but its pretty simple to work out if you wanna watch it, the Watch or avoid is just a guideline to that genre, so if you like the genre then you will like the movie more than likely.

i'll start

today i watched

Finders Fee - Mystery Indie movie - Watch for sure

Red Eye - Thriller - Only if your bored ( though cillian murphy is creepy :D )


carry it on :D

Saw Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny

Ok, it is full of stoners humor which I enjoy, teehee, but the music is quite good and funny.

Anyone who likes the D's music should enjoy the film.

Aaaah Family guy.

In other viewings...The Messengers.

Creepy house? Check.
Ignorant parents? Check.
Moody teenager who is suspicious? Check.
Complete stranger who becomes part of the family? Check.

Nothing new, very predictable, but does make you jump.

Think Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds + The Grudge + The Ring + The Amityville Horror = The Messengers.

Go see it.

Now.

I've really been wanting to see that film.

Now i am almost on the verge of running the 35 odd miles to the cinema and kicking down the door for a private viewing.

In other news i watched I, Robot again. Its good, underrated perhaps and one of Will Smith's best performances. Although however much i like the brand the advertising of Converse is kinda funny and sticks out.

hehe yeah... any simmilar movie that leaves you with doubts is not too good. entertainment movies must actually entertain audience if it wants to be good.
take 300 for example. when it ended i was like 'damn fun movie, nuf said'.

Allow me to clarify.

By 1.5 hours of entertainment I did leave too much to interpretation.
I could however say that the movie left me with as much of an impact as doing my taxes would.

I wouldn't say that it's a bad movie. I have certainly seen worse. But after a movie is over I usually have a decent answer if asked how it was. In the case of Ghostrider my description would be a shrug...followed my a less than enhusiastic "meh".

Tbh, entertainment is what its aiming for.. It's not aiming to make everyone leave the cinema thinking of how symbolic a paper bag is. I would say 1,5 hours of entertainment is good considering most of the movies that are released today are rushed.

It's our fault for being such an impatient audience...

I could have gladly waited another 30-40 years to see episode 2 / 3, just so I wouldn't have to see Hayden Christensen they rushed out along with the movie he ruined... Both of them...

Blood Diamond: was a strong movie, kept me intrested to the end.

Crank: was fun movie with some great actions (love the hospital Scene)

The Departed:2 confuzing, the 2 actors were to much lookin like eachother.

Letters From IwoJima: Strong war movie, a view of the war from the perspective of the Jappanese.

300: Cool movie, but it just misses something imo.

Seen 300 a couple times, tis not bad.

Reccomends; Bubba Ho-Tep, if one likes the Bruce Campbell movies, Evil Dead 1-3, and other works, this is definately a movie to check out.

300

Reposted from the 300 thread.

Watched this earlier today. Fantastic film, up there with Gladiator - although it tells the story in quite a different way in places. Incredibly artistic style that works very well and is most pleasing to watch. The music works brilliantly to offset the action scenes and the ending is not entirely predictable.

I was much more impressed than i thought i would be, oh and Butlers performance as Leonidis is great, very powerful, yet not all shouty shouty.

Only down side was my (female) friends kept giggling at the sight of all the semi-naked men.

4/5

Volver

Pedro Almoldovar does it again. Truly an exceptional film set in Spain in La Mancha and Madrid. It stars Penelope Cruz in the best performance i've ever personally seen her give. I was easily blown away, great film.

Oh and i watched Amelie again. <3 that film. :)

Dead Man's Shoes.

Not your general, run-of-the-mill revenge thriller, this is a lot darker and can take you off guard - particularly with the fact that its set in rural Derbyshire.

Nice ending too, quite unexpected.


filmed near me :D i loved this movie it rocked heh

Just watched The Constant Gardner. A really well made film about the Aid effort in Africa and much more. The characters are very well presented and very human, this is probably in part down to John Le Carrè's skill as a writer, as it is based upon that authors book.

A really interesting, and high quality film, if a bit slow moving in places. A great watch for anyone that dosn't mind their action/drama/thriller not having an abundance of car chases and shooting etc.

I've only been watching DVD's lately. The most recent was Starship Troopers.

Two other films that I highly recommend are Japanese:
Onmyoji and Onmyoji 2. These are set in the Heiian period, "when magic and darkness prevailed".
