Being a huge Floyd fan I just have to ask...Did you find the music and video actually synced up well? I have never tried it before but have heard about the idea/myth for quite sometime. You probably want to be under the influence to make it a worthwhile watch.

A Sound of Thunder.

A slightly higher budget b-movie. Not too bad.

There are a couple parts I noticed that worked really well, I have done the Dark Side of Oz thing twice, and can only remember some stuff that worked well during the first time. The second time the timing was a bit off, but you should try it and see for yourself.

DeathBlade · January 14th, 2007, 11:47 PM

Was watching Fearless before the people I was watching it with decided they had to leave cause of the weather.

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Pan's Labyrinth

Talladega Nights was enjoyable, moreso than I thought it would be. I waited until it came out on video so that I could watch it for free (at a friend's house) because I refuse to knowingly give Nascar a cent.

Pan's Labyrinth was flat-out awesome. It's very interesting in two regards. One, the film is essentially two good stories interwoven together, but if they were filmed seperately and released as two seperate films, they would both still be very good. And that is not to say that they weren't linked together somehow, it's just that they both held their own and would be just as understandable had they been made seperately. I attribute that aspect to excellent writing. Two, the fairy tale story was done so well that as an audience member, you can debate whether or not the girl's objective was real. Real being in the movie sense of the word. Was/is she really what she thought/thinks she was/is, or was it all just in her head? Either way, the film is just amazing and I highly recommend seeing it if you can.

CaGeD iN · January 24th, 2007, 03:44 PM

well i like movies and judging by the sentence summary of wicker park i thought it was gonna deal with supernatural shit but it didnt... still a pretty good movie as far as romantic ones go, too bad there was no killing, watched half of accepted and got bored, lovely cleavage though

Insomniainc · January 24th, 2007, 03:53 PM

Just finished watching Star Wars Episode 3 for the first time...

that's... just way too much CGI, I like it though, but I wonder if ANYTHING is real in that movie,

TheCrab · January 24th, 2007, 05:25 PM

Entourage on DVD. its an HBO comedy/drama about a famous guy and his loser friends. its rediculous.

The dialogue in this film is awesome. It's a throwback to one of my favorite genres of film (film noir).

Burning Missive · February 1st, 2007, 07:46 PM

Smokin' Aces
Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior

Both were enjoyable, but I'll probably never watch either again.

ShadarLogoth · February 2nd, 2007, 11:46 AM

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (best movie ever)

Beowulf and Grendel- i cant say the plot is exceptionally amazing, kind of a hack version of the original tale, but not to bad, but the scenery and cinematography are great.

kiss kiss, bang bang-an enjoyable movie with val kilmer, has alot of very sarcastic moments, kind of a dark comedy, sometimes too smart for its own good though.

a box set of 5 seventies kung fu movies including shaolin fist, and return of the drunken master.

amon amarth-wrath of the norsemen

therion-celebrations of becoming

john boormans Excaliber- the scene where king arthur is riding into battle after being ill with the camera looking him in the face and you can see the line of soldiers trailing off behind him is the most epic moment ever filmed.(and that was an epic run on sentence.)

in Toronto, they show Darkside of Oz at Bloor Cinema (huge old theater) and tons of people go every month when they show it and they smoke in the theater. no one kicks you out, but if you puke you have to clean the whole floor haha. I went once but I was sober. the only real enjoyment I got was listening to the record a couple times. it synces up pretty well if you start it at the third growl of the MGM lion

I watched the Isis DVD the other night with my buddy, quite enjoyable.

SENTENCED - "Buried Alive" 2 DVD set

Being the HUGE Sentenced fan that I am, I've been dying to see this for a over a year, and it's awesome! I'm totally not disapointed at all. I watched all the extras (tour documentary, interviews, etc...) before watching the grand finale 25 song final show (...still watching now). Interesting note - ALL of the dialogue between them and the crowd and between themselves is in Finnish, but ALL the song lyrics are in English. That must be so strange.

Miika Tenkula (lead guitar) is a BEAST (!!!), both on guitar, and in real life!!!

FYI - I was lucky enough to see Sentenced LIVE in person once in my life. It was at "The Iroc" in Detroit (this tiny bar near Harpo's) in 2002. Sentenced was on tour supporting their "The Cold White Light" album in the USA with Dark Tranquility and In Flames (+ there was like 7 shitty Detroit opening bands at this show, no exaggeration). Their set was short, maybe 30 minutes, but great. I bought a T-shirt and gave a (then) brand new copy of "Against the Seasons" personally to Vesa Ranta (drums). I never heard anything back from him, but it was still cool.

SENTENCED!!!

sdmf2 · February 4th, 2007, 12:02 AM

I only have the first 2 Sentenced albums... are th eothers worth getting?

Personally, I prefer the later-era Sentenced to the early stuff. My fav albums being the last 3: "The Cold White Light", "Crimson" and "The Funeral Album".

bloodeagle · February 4th, 2007, 11:47 PM

hogan's heros, circa '65, but it's classic stuff. you can catch it on deja view (via satellite or w/e) at 5:30 on weekdays. blood diamond was a cool movie, i'm sure other people have this issue, but with "expose" movies i often wonder which side is worse. ie: george bush is stupid, but michael moore is pure evil.

Burning Missive · February 5th, 2007, 06:18 PM

Notes on a Scandal
Letters From Iwo Jima

Both are excellent films. The incredible acting in Notes on a Scandal and the well-executed humanism of Letters From Iwo Jima made both incredible viewings.

Azraelscross · February 8th, 2007, 10:56 PM

i wish i had a hard copy of this dvd . its cheaper than 90% of japanese dvds so it shouldn't be too long.haha. my favorite vid on it has to be this one

Watched it awhile ago, really enjoyed it. Cant wait to see more by that director/writer.

Last movie I watched was a film called Dick. Its about Nixon, but a comedy. Very well done, and it has some of my favorite comedians in it, like Dave Foley.

Yeah, from a filmmaker's perspective, it wasn't anything special in terms of camerawork or cinematography, but the acting was solid and the writing was spot on. There's just something about stylized dialogue that really intrigues me, especially when done well. I, too, look forward to Johnson's future works.

Burning Missive · February 18th, 2007, 10:25 PM

Breach
Ghost Rider

Breach was very good. I was very pleased with Chris Cooper's performance and Ryan Phillipe did a decent job in his role. Ghost Rider was okay for the time being, but I'll never watch it again voluntarily.
