Movie Thread!-Part 2

Why is the Russian always the bad guy? I mean, come on! They’re not all that bad.

I’m not a communist or anything. I’m a foreign language major with an emphasis on Russian and I noticed there are so many movies where Russians are the bad guys. Why don’t we have an Australian bad guy or a Norweigan bad guy, or a Chilean bad guy? Just curious. :smile:

I found Donne Darko tp be a most tiresome film. Too many words in the script.

Too many? Did you understand the movie? :tongue:

There’s no sterotype, just coinsidence, Russians are just big :content:

Of course I understood the film Donne Darko, but I found it to be most tiresome. Too many words.
Also I would like to disagree with those who say that books are better than the films. I found that in some cases, the opposite is true. :smile:

Anyone seen Dancer In The Dark? It’s an amazing film.

No never hear of it :eh: , fill us on :grin:

I forgot one new movie, that i wanted to see, the Exorcist. I liked the first and the 3rd, so why not the new one? :shrug: Anyone see it?

Here’s a review of the film. Bjork plays the main character. The story is the most tragic and emotional one I’ve ever seen.

btw - I only saw the first Exorcist. I love horror films :devil:

Has anyone seen “Watcher in the Woods”?

I haven’t seen it in a while… I can’t believe Disney made it! (creepiest PG movie out there… or maybe it was because I was young)

I just watched 2001 Space Odyssey for school, its a bit freakyer then I remember… Lot of symbolism n stuff… I like the parts with the monkeys the best! lol

I read the review (thanks) the movie seems very depressing. Never heard of it, and i never knew that Bjork acts. Maybe someday I’ll see it.

Yeah, horro films used to be my favorite, but it seems like there’s been a drought, i havent seen a decent horro movie in ages. If you can name a recent one, I’ll kiss you :bored:

Nope never heard of it :eh:

Great movie, very long :eek: , but in the end its worth it. I like the end, when the computer starts thinking on its own and starts creating trouble for the crew. Stanely Kubrick makes great films, thats a good one, my other favorite from that director is a Clockwork Orange. Very long and crazy, but so good :grin:

No new movies here :neutral: , looking out though :cool:

My friend says he saw this porno movie, “A Clockwork Orgy” so you can put that on your list :wink:

It’ on :wink:

No new movies here, just stuck on Revenge Films, I’m trrying to get Eternal Sunshine on the spotless Mind on dvd, but my new brother hasnt bought it yet, so… I can’t wait, and im excited.

Other than that, where are the new, good, movies? Someone tell me! Now!

The GreATesT Movie around TodaY???!!

THE FORGOTTEN

Its REallly good…seriously. 4 those who r sceptical of course of the movie…GO c It!..u wont regret it! It has some veRy unexpected twists in there >…VeRy koool stuff. Its also Not a movie wher eu have to pay So much attention to…be aware if u dOnt tho :yes:

My movie! thread! its been to long.

Alright , it’s time for a collection of the new and the greatest movies. In theaters, i saw, Blade 3, and The life Aquatic with Steve Zissossu(not sure if thats spelled right). Well Blade 3 wasnt the greatest, it was ok, good affects , better ideas, but the story sucked. They could of picked up more on the story or spend a little more time on the story. The Life Aquatic was great! I loved it ! I couldnt get enough of it, i saw it twice. I like the director’s style, it really grabs my attention and the movies has so many funny scenes and jokes. There like captain obvious jokes, very literal and obvious. Plus i love Bill Murray:)

For dvd’s, i just bought Troy, Virtuosity, and Breakfast Club. Troy was incredible, great story(thanks Homer) well written, well directed, very nice scenes, i just wish the acting was good as everything else. I like Brad pitts role, he kicked ass and killed alot. This movie was a winner just b/c i love greek mythology so much. Virtuosity is just fun to watch, it wasnt to big and havent caught many eyes, but i liked it. And the classic Breakfast Club, at this point in life, the movie just fell into place, and makes me feel good in ways i cant describe, that movies really sends a good feeling. I wish more movies were like that one, characters, story, morals, ideology, such smart and down to earth, everything you could like in a movie.

Well thats the load off my mind from the last 2-3 months or so . . . Have you see anything good? and what do you think about this new Kenau Reeves movie? ( :bored: )

I went 2 go c…darness i think it was called and in my opinion it was the worst movie i have ever seen. There were Some but few ‘scarry’ and surprising scenes but the rest was just ‘OK’. It was a pretty ok movie overall. Some parts were very stupid tho. The ending in my opinion also sucked :I

Ive been wanted to go c white noise, the grudge and hide and seek…donno which 1 is the best tho. Ive heard all kinds of diff opinions on all of these. Im leaning towards hide and seek tho…ill tell u ppls how it went maybe when i c it if i do.

Hubbs:
I HAve seen the preview for the new keanu reeves movie and i think its GooD! Think i might want 2 c that too…any1 else?

Alright, Kat you named all the new age horror movies, and im not sure if i have the guts or nerve to see any of them. The only reason why, im not really shocked or scared or suprised with these new movies . They dont give that chill like all the old ones that i used to love watching. I cant think of the last horro movie tht i actually liked. Event Horizon! it was a sci-fi Horror. But i head good things about hide and seek, if anything we need more opinons to make that decision. Is that the one with Robert Deniro?

I dont think to highly of the new Reeves movie, i just dont get it :confused: , maybe it will turn out to be a good movie, i dont know, we’ll see :peek:

Yea i guess i do agree w/ u on that 1 Hubbs. A great example IS even horizon! I just watched taht 1 like the day b4 lol its still on my mind…it was really great tho :happy:

Im going to c Hide and seek 2daY!! :happy: Ill tell u my opinion on it…Robert Denero …reallY? :eek:

LOl i didnt quite understand the preview thing on the new keanu movie either! My 1st impression on it is good tho…but 1st impressions r NeVer what they seem!..so we WiLl c! :happy:

Well, this last weekend I went to see “The Incredibles” and I loved it! It had me laughing very hard throughout the movie, but was also very touching at times. (I’m a sap) I can’t wait until it comes out on video because I will get it.

I really don’t like horror movies. Some of them are okay as long as they have a resolving ending (unlike nighmare on elm street shudders)

This winter I went to see “National Treasure” (8 out of 10 stars), “Lemony Snickets” (also 8 out of 10), and “Elektra” (6.5). I’m easily amused to I liked all of those movies. Also, I went to see them with my boyfriend and so that’s always an added bonus :love: I want to see the one with Keanu Reeves, not because he’s anything special, but because the story looks interesting. It’s not one I would insist people go with me to, but chances are I’ll like it to some degree.

-Amé

I went 2 go c ‘hide and seek’ last night and i must say i was teRRiBly dissapointed! Out of 10 i give it a -1 :I Some parts (2) were “scarry” and surprising at same time but the rest were very mormal. In my opinion it was just like any other NoRmal movie sigh…what else can i expect from “scarry” movies -_- I DID like the twist in the end thO!

A new movie w/ vin diesel(from XXX) is comming out called tha ‘pacifier’. Its the cutest and funniest movie Ever in my opnion lol! Id definitelly rent this 1 :happy:

I saw a more indepth preview of “ConStantine” (keeanu reeves movie!!) and it looks gooD and scarry like shi*!! Cant waIt to c it! Donno when its comming out tho -_-

One last movie id like 2 mention: i think it was called ‘kingdom of heaven’ looked good 2 :wink:

Im not sure what to think entirely about the animation movies, usually that company that made the incredibles are good, i just never have the will power to go out to the theaters. National Treasure actually looked ok, the story line seemed a little to ridiculous but other than that, i liked where it was going. Lemony Snickets looks cool, im just a fan of Tim Burton’s films, i like the style of his movies, he always brings a good feeling. Elektra, i know im going to see it, i definitely dont want to waste any money on it, but anything with marvel on the title wins me.

I just bought American Pie, i fulfilled my collection with the American Pie family. The War of the worlds, i saw that movie when i was in Middle school and i loved it, i have good feelings and thoughts towards the new one, especially that Steven Speilberg is directing it, i think Tom Cruise is staring. Hitchhiker’s guide looks very interesting; i have no idea what its about, except the main concept. What about the aviator? what do you think?? I heard good reviews and such, whats the word?

So many movies, not enough time :content:
