I just saw the trailor for the new X files movie cming out July 25. There is alot of movies this summer it seems. I saw the Happening. I wasnt too impressed with it. I think M. Night reached his peak with “Signs”. Its all been down hill from there.
i liked Lady in the Water a lot, maybe because i’m a freak for fantasy, but yes, The Happening was just meh. I expected a lot more, being Mark Whalberg and such.
I am led to believe that excessive movie-watching leads to better recalled and more interesting dreams…
also, can you believe i hadn’t seen full metal jacket until last night?
Good movie, i don’t think it got to me as much as it did some people. I prefer The Shining or Clockwork Orange if we are on the topic of Kubrick.
I saw Ed Wood and the Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time yesterday
Afterwards I realized what a weird coincidence it was that I watched two movies with transvestites in them on the same day
And who knew that Tim Curry had such nice legs?
I found “Clock work orange” disturbing. I watch alot of independent films also. If you ever get a chance watch “Corndog man”. When it comes to horror films I hate slasher movies. There is enough of that in real life. My type of horror movies are about paranormal things. I realy hate Texas Chainsaw. That movie gave me a headache.
I noticed a rather strange coincidence. In the movie “The crow” brandon lee died whil making the movie. In the movie “The dark night” Heth ledger died shortly after the movie was finished. Both movie were about a ominish bird, and both actors wore white make up.
I actually kinda liked The Happening. It was kind of relaxing watching it, and very intersting in an ants take over the world sort of way. In which it’s semi-realistic although far fetched to occur. Plus I enjoyed the feeling that I came out of the movie with, the feeling that we should really love nature moreso and stop having such selfish thoughts incessantly.
I go into movies with 0 expectations and accept it as it is, I find it allows me to enjoy essentially any movie ever made. I have a positive experience with about 99 out of 100 movies that i watch.
I just watched 崖の上のポニョ (Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea). It’s Hayao Miyazaki’s newest film, and as always, that man is amazing. Whenever he writes, directs, and animates a film he creates a new classic for the ages. I was worried when I saw the trailer, as it looked like the movie was designed to be a little too family-friendly. I was wrong. The story was amazing, and I can’t wait for it to come out in the USA.
Just a warning though. It’s a depature from his recent movies, and has a gentler, less violent story akin to My Neighbor Totoro or Kiki’s Delivery Service. So, if you’re into the more actiony stuff, you might find it a little boring.
