General Chat / Last Movie You Saw?

Babylon AD
Absolute garbage. Not even worth tearing it apart with a rating of 7/100 on Rotten Tomatoes. Can you tell I'm scrounging the bottom of the movies On Demand at this point?

Yes Man
Pleasantly surprised. Not funny in the typical one liner kind of way ala Superbad, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, etc. Cute little romantic comedy with good acting and some good awkward and situational humour.

Saw shmAvatar.

It was pretty good. The storyline was an exact copy of Pocahontas though, only with ten foot tall blue people with tails that took the place of indians.

Saw The Lovely Bones last night with my girlfriend. At first, I found Wahlberg's acting awful as usual, but once he loses his daughter I was surprised the kind of turn his character made. The girl playing Susie Salmon wasn't very good either, but Stanley Tucci was terrific and the movie itself was pretty far out and gripping at times. I'd recommend it.

I saw Avatar 4 times now, everytime in 3D. Sunday will be the 5th time.

Oh and btw:
Quote from Wikipedia, confirmed worldwide today, on the 26th of January:

The film broke several box office records during its release and became the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Titanic.

Watched Coraline the other day AGAIN^^

Even though its a child bedtime story its freakin epic what thdid with the stop-motion technique

Also UP was very cool seeing it again but I have to admit I'm a fool for the short that always come with the pixar dvd's "partly cloudy" is just so good that even "one man band" was dull compared to this...

Saw Legion. Was better than The Book of Eli but still a pretty horrible movie. Entertaining but man it was baaaad. However my favorite line in the movie was HILARIOUS!


"Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking cunt."

Saw Red Sun tonight. Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune. Can't beat that combination.

Red Dawn - 80's cheesy as hell, but a cool premise. 6/10
X-Men Origins - I liked it a lot more than I expected. I can see people being upset with the ending though. 6.5/10
Terminator Salvation - I liked it a bit more this time. 7/10
Fantastic Four 2 - Not nearly as terrible as the first one (it had a plot this time!), but still not great. 5.5/10
Surrogates - Kind of like Ghost in the Shell, which is cool. I liked it. 7/10
Inglorious Basterds - After I saw Valkyrie I was thinking they should make a movie like this, so it was pretty cool from that aspect. Not sure how it'd be on the second viewing, but overall I liked it. 7/10
UP - Still awesome. 10/10
Nightwatch - Cool, but also a bit too much nonsense. 6.3/10
Dark Star - Ugn. A few cool moments that indicate later greatness, but overall it's still a cheesy student film. 3/10
Serenity - I think I finally got how it connects to the original series. In the series they were just trying to lie low and take care of themselves, and so it's usually just a happy romp, but in the movie they finally find something important to do, and it becomes more serious. Originally I couldn't stand the big difference in feel between the series and movie, but I think I understand what they intended now. 8/10

The Hangover= Yes! 9.5/10

Modern Times - Interesting social commentary, easy to see why Chapman was so popular. 7/10
Gone Baby Gone - Ben Affleck proves to be a decent director. 7/10
The Big Lebowski - Dude. 8/10
Citizen Kane - Enjoyable, sad, thought-provoking. Rosebud. 7.5/10
Night Watch - I have to agree with x, this was a bit sloppy. The special effects were incredible though, and I enjoyed the subtitles. 6.5/10
Day Watch - More coherent plot than Night Watch in my opinion, and the effects are just as good. 7/10

Requiem For A Dream. Absolutely loved this movie, one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. 10/10

Saw Shutter Island and District 9. Both were awesome.

Requiem For A Dream. Absolutely loved this movie, one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. 10/10

Powerful indeed. Definitely enough to make anyone who's considering doing hard drugs to have second thoughts about it, if not turn them off completely.

I finally saw The Hangover. Truly epic!

Also the music theme is amzing, used in I think.. in like 20 per cent of all youtube vid's.

The last movie I saw was "schindlers list". Still an amazing, but shokking movie. Also great soundtrack, very sad.

Get Him To The Greek - 6.5/10 - Funny and completely over-the-top. Can't really compare it to Forgetting Sarah Marshall because the type of humor is completely different. P. Diddy steals the show.

MacGruber - 6/10 - Lives up the standard of the SNL sketch, but unfortunately doesn't go beyond that. Still had a good time though.

The Piano - 8/10 - I cannot get the soundtrack out of my head so I keep youtubing it. The more I reflect on the film, the more I seem to like it.

Shutter Island: extremely cool movie. - 9/10
Operation Daybreak: shocking and very moving when I actually visited the church in Prague where they killed hundreds of Nazi's. - 9/10
The Proposal: garbage and very predictable. - 2/10
Alice in Wonderland: well acted but since I hate Tim Burton I think the movie screwed up the beautiful story. - 5/10
The Bounty Hunter: amusing but pretty boring. - 6/10

Iron Man 2 - 10/10 - Incredible. Robert Downey Jr. was briliiant, and, overall, it was funnier than the first. It had some awesome action scenes along with other great moments - the Senate hearing, grand prix, etc. The plot wasn't as strong as the first's and needed more engineering elements. Still, I can't get enough of Iron Man and it is my favorite movie next to the original.

Avatar - 9/10 - Stunning visuals and some really creative bits thrown in. The plot was the only thing pulling it down for me as it just seemed a bit cheesy and unoriginal for a sci-fi. Besides that, the general was practically invincible to the point it was humorous.

I watched Fighting tonight. It was a complete waste of my time.

Last movie I saw was Iron Man 2, midnight the night it came out. One word: Epic. It could very well be one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, rivaling Dark Knight for #1. Many people are saying it isn't as good as the first, but I'm on the completely opposite boat. I thought it was much funnier, action-packed, and overall better than the first.

I've watched "Into the wild" for school last weak and I have to admit the movie really got to me in a way because I could really see where his feelings came from and why he hated the stereotype lives we all want to lead, only thing was the way he died was really a pity...
