I'd still recommend it though

EXACTLY! I loved it ...until the ending.

It should have kept going and had a decent ending.

Just got back from watching Rambo. Horrible acting, and subpar CGI, but holy shit did that movie get me pumped up. I'm ready to go on a killing spree.

Sunshine was pretty damn good if you like Event Horizon and Aliens. I enjoyed, though I think the wife found it a bit weird (i.e. dark, slow, different)

3:10 to Yuma
pretty good. some of it got on my nerves, but overall great acting

Krilons Resa · January 26th, 2008, 10:41 PM

Lucky # Slevin was pretty good.

Sunshine was awesome. Everyone needs to see that movie.
3:10 was really good too.

just got back Rambo. Holy fuck it ruled!

Krilons Resa · January 26th, 2008, 11:06 PM

Rambo

What a joke.

How often do they play that Drowning Pool song throughout the movie

Krigloch the Furious · January 26th, 2008, 11:09 PM

never.

Carabeu · January 26th, 2008, 11:10 PM

oh good

IOfTheStorm · January 27th, 2008, 03:45 PM

"Demons Of The Mind". For sure one of the most weird, fucked up and unusual Hammer films i have ever seen.

Krilons Resa · January 27th, 2008, 06:49 PM

I've never seen Taxi Driver. I should definitely rent it, shouldn't I?

Especially since I have been particularly misanthropic lately.

Dark One · January 27th, 2008, 06:56 PM

Indeed. Travis Bickle is an unforgettable character, plus the jazz laden musical score is as melancholy as it is memorable.

Yeah, that is exactly what I have read. It was the composer's last effort too. New episode of Simpsons on right now but maybe Ill go to the store afterward. If not, def tomorrow morning. I dont have to work tomorrow so...

Still have to watch 3:10 To Yuma but I am still very skeptical.

I also still have to watch this "There Will Be Blood" and "Beowulf" which I have. But those arent going anywhere.

MajestikMøøse · January 27th, 2008, 07:44 PM

Finally saw 8 1/2

Why is it that whenever I see a Fellini film I always end up yelling at the screen "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE ITALIANS!?!?"

MajestikMøøse · January 27th, 2008, 10:59 PM

Ok, so the final cut of blade runner:

It's basically a heavily remastered version of the director's cut, however little extra bits, like the extra violence of the international theatrical version are tossed in, and apparently a few other things that I haven't really noticed.

It's worth getting if you don't have it on DVD already (which I didn't, before buying this), so yeah, csocreee.

General Zod · January 28th, 2008, 02:05 PM

Finally saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Excellent flick. Incredibly creative.

I'm a massive Blade Runner fanboy, so I went out and bought the five-DVD special edition tin, with every version of the movie ever in it. Love the Final Cut - glad to see they fixed Chief Bryant's line about the number of loose replicants near the beginning, and Zhora's death scene is infinitely improved by the re-shot footage.

Rescue Dawn 4 stars

AsModEe · February 7th, 2008, 10:39 PM

^^ is it with Christian Bale?? I thought about renting it but decided not to.

Guthrum · February 8th, 2008, 01:10 AM

Why did they let Shaq make movies?

spaffe · February 8th, 2008, 02:42 PM

Just got back from Fritz Lang's Nibelungen: Siegfried's Tod which I actually in a theater AND with live piano music to boot. It wipes the floor with more or less every epic adventure movie ever made after it, simple as that.

MOOSE, you need to see this one...

ProgMetalFan · February 9th, 2008, 03:12 PM

Has anyone seen Michael Clayton? Is it good?

IOfTheStorm · February 10th, 2008, 02:56 PM

Just watched Planet Terror - loved it, zillion times better than Death Proof.

Also watched Transformers, what a fucking waste of time, horrible movie from every aspect, although i admit i got some chills when i first saw a specific Cab vehicle.

This looks AWESOME. Gotta fetch this on DVD somehow.

I have both parts and could send them if you like. It's only that they're 12GB so it'll probably take a while

But yeah, it's seriously awesome

I actually continued my forays into the world of silent film tonight, with nothing less than Friedrich Willhelm Murnau's Faust from 1926. The first half an hour was very intense and excellent in most ways, but then it lost momentum throughout the whole movie up until something of an anti-climax of an ending. The special effects were, eighty years down the line, still pretty impressive and must have been spectacular at the time of the making
