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

The Fountain...


Any takers? I like it. Opinion around here seems pretty split on it though. Some like it, others didn't.

Did you hear about how they needed to change a line in the ending? Originally Jim Caviesel is in a car and some stunt occurs, and Denzel Washington goes "Jesus." Test audiences cracked up at it.

Pan's Labyrinth

A fairy tale which is by no means for children.

A very well put together movie, both cinematically and scriptwise - however....

...This movie is desperately sad and moments of hope are few and far between. You don't get a reprieve. Even the colours of the sequences are sombre.

For a 15 it is also very graphic, there are some scenes where you'd wince.

I can guarantee that the final scenes will have you...well maybe not in tears but with a sad feeling in your chest.


Sounds good. I saw the trailer for this a while back, and became interested, after reading a review i became really interested. Now i just want to see this movie. Badly.

Oh yeah, i just saw Brick, and i must say i thoughroughly enjoyed it! Its been likened to Donnie Darko etc. due to its cult film hit with the critics status, however while it bears similarities, it differs in various ways. It is essentially a modern noir, set in an American College, however the dialogue is superbly written to make the cast seem like they could fit into any other noir film; for example in one scene where the protagonist Brendon is being questioned by the vice principle, i got the distinct impression this could just as easily of been a Private Investigator arguing with a Cop.

It can be slow to get moving, but i found it engrossing from the start, the plot is twisty, starting with Brendon looking for his ex-girlfriend after she asks for his help, and leading him on a chase through the a drug ring underworld, populated by interesting characters. Its superbly well done, and the twists and directing style remind me at times of Christopher Nolan, acclaimed director of Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, and The Prestige.

Summary: Watch it, its great.

I went out and saw The Foutain today. It was like watching a dream unfold. The film is most definatly not for everyone but it certianly will stick in your head for years to come. I left the theater blown away. All the critics bashing it will have their foots in their mouths in the years to come. It's right up there with 2001: A Space Odessey.

Going to go see De'ja vu tomorrow when I wake up. I'm hoping the Denzel factor will kick in and it will be good.

Yeah, he did what Brosnan did and made Bond into how he thought and Fleming thought Bond would be...in the words of Fleming "his features relapsed into a mask, ironical, brutal and cold", and I'm glad he did. Craig could go a long way, nuts to all you naysayers :D

Oh...and :jax:

I agree with all the people below exclaiming about the new James Bond's quality. I was pleasently surprised at just how good it was, Daniel Craig has reinvented Bond by acting him how he should always have been acted.

Only minor critisism is that it went a bit slow for a while after the torture scene, that bit was also a bit... unreal in some way. As if Bond was dreaming it all lol.
