What Movies/DVDs/Television shows are YOU watching?

[Arjuna]

Fixed* sorry.

[Arjuna]

Just finished Juno, it sucked.

[WHI7EW0LF]

watchin double anal avengers,

[Sayckeone]

^I'm trying to figure out if I should SMH or LOL

[Inzaghi]

Me too.

[DarkShear]

watchin double anal avengers,

And how was the first 15 minutes?

[DarkShear]

No Country for Old Men:

Good movie, I really did like it. I could definitely re watch it some time in the next six months. 4 out of 5.

[ViolenceJack]

I watched Moliere last night, pretty good movie.

[SlaughterX]

Just finished watching Alien. Sigourney was on point until she decided to go back for that damn cat. Also her panties were way too small, you should never see plumbers butt on a woman...

[RayFoxSith]

^LOL, I agree about the panties.

[Kakizaki]

^I think it has more to do with the fact she has no butt. Her panties sag.

[Futomimi]

edit: nevermind!

[Kakizaki]

Ahhh.

[Futomimi]

I had asked what SMH stood for, then figured it out. I don't remember Alien well enough to comment on Sigourney Weaver's ass. :P

[SlaughterX]

^I think it has more to do with the fact she has no butt. Her panties sag.

I think it's a combination of both lack of ass and too small panties...

[Kakizaki]

lol. That doesn't really bother me though. :)

[DarkShear]

Just finished-

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

I thought it was pretty funny. I think it will be one of those comedies I will need to watch again. But it was definitely worth watching and gave me a good number of laughs and chuckles. 3 out of 5 stars.

[DarkShear]

Movie Watched: Afro Samurai

------

Netflix Synopses;

In a futuristic Japan where conflicts are settled by the sword, Afro Samurai (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) must avenge his father's murder by challenging a powerful warrior named Justice (Ron Perlman) in this anime miniseries. If he can defeat Justice, considered the premier samurai, Afro will become the new No. 1. He's joined on his quest by Ninja Ninja, who provides excellent strategic advice in combat -- but who also may be a hallucination.

------

It was a pretty fun cartoon/anime, nicely done artwork. I enjoyed it, giving it a 3 out 5 on the Netflix stars system.

Holla.

[DarkShear]

I caught an interesting movie on Showtime that I had never heard of before.

Movie watched: The Movie Hero

Netflix synopsis;

In his feature film debut, director Brad T. Gottfred delivers a spoof of cinema cliches with a memorable protagonist named Blake Gardner (Jeremy Sisto), who believes his life is a movie. Playing to an audience only he perceives -- and determined to entertain them -- Blake recruits a comical black sidekick (Brian J. White), attempts to apprehend the bad guy (Peter Stormare) and begins romancing his court-appointed psychotherapist (Dina Meyer).


I gave it a 3 out 5 stars on the Netflix scale, it was surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable. It had a decent pace. Good stuff, check it out?

[Kakizaki]

Dammit! Quit giving stuff 3/5. We need some variety.

[Sayckeone]

^lol

[RayFoxSith]

Went and saw Superhero movie because my friend wanted to see it. I knew it was gonna flop, but it turned to out to be more entertaining than Epic Movie (I had to see that for my Journalism class. Deeply regret it).

[Arjuna]

Picked up Heroes Season 1 on DVD for $20 bucks @ Best Buy. Not a bad deal at all, I remember watching a lot of Season 1 in ####ty stream.

[ViolenceJack]

I watched Gunparade March season 1.

[DarkShear]

Dammit! Quit giving stuff 3/5. We need some variety.

I'm just very picky on what I consider a 4 or a 5 star movie. I will say that every 3 I hand out it's because I truly did enjoy the movie that was being played in front of me. I'm not a movie snob who needs to be educated or bored to death with every cinematic experience.

But again, I don't just willy nilly hand out them 4 and 5 stars. When you see me do so, know it's a great or awesomely amazing movie experience.

Epic movie...I feel for you brotha. What a terrible waste of time.

[thinkfreemind]

I just got Juno on DVD and watched that tonight for the first time. I really liked it and thought it was a great movie. I didn't really know what to expect and first I thought it would be more of a comedy. I liked the jokes in the movie, but for the most part it was just a good film. It gets an A+ from me.

I just think there needs to be more wiggle room. I don't expect many 4 or 5s. Can you do this on a 10 pointer?

P.S. I am a quasi movie snob.

But isn't a 3 now a 6 or 7 and a 4 now an 8 or 9? I personally like the 3 star system. It's either a 4 or it's not. It's not a 3.5.

My friend is the type that will list which movies a director has done. For a crap load of directors. I can only rattle off a few of the big name directors movies and even then just the big movies they did. I'm not a big IMDB freak by any means, probably visited the site less than 10 times.

Juno definitely was a quirky comedy and not a slap stick'ish comedy as it was marketed originally to be. At least that is how I perceived it before I saw it in the theaters with a group of friends. And no I didn't watch any trailers on the net which probably would have told me a different story then what I saw of commercials doing a quick snip it.

[Arjuna]

It was lame.

[DarkShear]

It was lame.

Yeah I saw you post that earlier, it's too bad you hated it. I really like how well they mixed the sound track in with the movie (obviously an original score). I thought it was well acted and kept me entertained almost throughout the whole film. I get tired easy at movie theaters, can't get up and move around.

[thinkfreemind]

[I really like how well they mixed the sound track in with the movie (obviously an original score).
It wasn't all original, there were a couple Belle and Sebastian songs mixed in, but I liked the music too. To me, it was on par with a movie like Little Miss Sunshine. Just a feel good movie that kinda makes you happy with it's melancholy.

Oh that's right they did mix in Belle & Sebastian. Little Miss Sunshine is a great comparison in terms of the 'feel good'.

[ViolenceJack]

Epic Movie was horrible, but the Comebacks was even worse, not to mention boring as hell. Dont think I'll be seeing anymore spoof movies since the last two I saw were complete crap.

I started watching Blue Gender, I can see what Ray meant by the Monsters, their mouths look like vaginas, and their.. what is it thier nose? That looks like another part of anatomy that both sexes have..

Watched eps 1-3, still got a ways to go.

DS is basically telling us what he's rating these movies on NetFlix, which uses a 5 star system. I agree it doesn't leave much wiggle room, as I find myself giving movies identical ratings, when in no way do they deserve them.

[Gillian Seed]

Running Man...

Lame.

3/5 stars.

Darren and I have a Netflix movie compatibility rating of 72%. Obviously his opinion of The Running Man falls into the other 28% category.

[Gillian Seed]

do you guys smell that?




...oh, i found out what it is. Running Man is sitting next to me in its envelope, I got to get that out of here asap.

[Delition]

One of the people in my apartment bought some "Betterman" DVDs, so I've been semi-watching as I play games. It doesn't seem to be that bad, but I can't see myself buying it personally.

Stargate: Sg-1 season 3

[Master Zombots]

I watched The Omega Man and Soylent Green. Soylent Green was great, but The Omega Man was a bit lacking. It definitely beats out both The Last Man Alive and I Am Legend though.

[Futomimi]

^ It's The Last Man on Earth, MZ. :wink:

[DarkShear]

Watched: There Will Be Blood

Finally! A movie I won't be giving 3 stars too!

I really liked this movie, thought it was great. For a movie that is 2 hours and 40 minutes long, it had a great pace to it.

5 out of 5 stars, holla big bucks.

[Sayckeone]

4 out of 5 stars, holla big bucks.

Ralph Nader: An Unreasonable Man.

To bite off of DS, 5 out of 5 stars on the NetFlix scale.

[Master Zombots]

[DarkShear]

Ralph Nader: An Unreasonable Man.

To bite off of DS, 5 out of 5 stars on the NetFlix scale.

I've been thinking about watching that. Based on the title of the movie I'm assuming it's hacking on him, is this true?

[Sayckeone]

^Not at all. It talks about his beginnings in car safety against GM, all the way up until the 2004 election. It has various people telling of their experiences with him, both speaking for and against Ralph Nader. It does a fairly decent job of staying unbiased to a point, unlike most documentaries today. It's a good watch for everyone, as it does show everything that Ralph Nader has done for this country, despite the fiasco of the 2000 election, which was not 100% his fault that Gore lost. You can watch it on NetFlix, so check it out.

It also talks about on how the Democratic party when to absolute #### in the 80's and became a collection of not as far right douche bags pandering to corporate sponsors.

I happen to dig Nader, so...

[Arjuna]

Watched X-Men today, I forgot how good these movies were. Too bad the third blew complete ass.

[Neveryll]

Gravion Zwei - Never saw the first one and thought I'd give this series a try. My mistake in looking for a heavy plot in this one. Some fan service and lot of cliche Voltroneque action. Too little plot to make me want to watch the second disc.

Stardust - WOW. I'm a fan of a fantasy series and I thought they gave this story just the right blend of magic to story to keep it fun and believeable. The air pirate captain had me and my wife laughing like crazy and the story was awesome. Two big thumbs up from our household.

Green Green Co-Ed Casualties - Wince I seem to have hit a run of anime I just can't dig... This one had soooo much fan service. The male characters were sooo obsessed this boobies and everything else that goes along with that testosterone filled part of a guys life. There was a story there buried under all the rest but even after three episodes it seemed a bit hard to dig out...

Stardust is an amazing movie, I need to read the books. Finally a sci-fi book into movie done right and entertaining. Lord of the Ring movies were BIZZZZORING.

[Camanche]

I read the book a while ago, but I was always worried about the movie. Ever since Gaiman got his hands on Beowulf, I don't trust him with movies.

WTH haven't they made American Gods into a movie instead? O_o

Rambo frickin rules. He would like totally beat Chuck Norris.

[DarkShear]

^Truths.

Watching 24 Season 3 disc 1, good stuff. I like this show, it's well produced and acted.

[Sayckeone]

I wasn't too into the new Rambo. I liked it, but was still disappointed. Nothing beats First Blood.

[Gillian Seed]

Ive had that Day of the Dead "remake" sitting around for almost a week.

[SlaughterX]

Don't watch it...

Anyway I jsut finished watching I Am Legend, took for ever for the freakin' HD-DVD to get here from Columbia House. Anyway what a meh movie, I don't see how the hell people were hyping this crap, there is absolutely nothing special about it.

[DarkShear]

Watching: South Park: The Imagination Trilogy

5 out of 5 stars on the Netflix scale, good stuff in this collection of three episodes.

[Inzaghi]

I saw Forbidden Kingdom over the weekend. It was okay, a couple of good fights and a few good comedic bits (I couldn't believe my eyes at the part where Jackie Chan summons rain), but to me the best part was the way Golden Swallow spoke. The way she referred to herself in the third person, but using pronouns instead of her name, fascinated me. It was like she was narrating a story she was in.

[RayFoxSith]

^Awesome. Gonna catch that with a few buddies tomorrow.

Rental or worth seeing in theaters?

[Kakizaki]

^3/5 imo.

[Inzaghi]

Rental or worth seeing in theaters?

Probably rental, to be honest. It doesn't have the amazing set design/cinematography of a Hero or a House of Flying Daggers that demands you see it on a huge theater screen.

[RayFoxSith]

Saw Forbidden Kingdom. Was alright. That white haired witch pretty spiff, until she pulled those cheap moves.

[DarkShear]

24 Season 3 disc 2, good times.

[Futomimi]

Finished LOST season 1 this morning!

[Gillian Seed]

Day of the Dead "reimagining"... TERRIBLE. 1/5

[Kakizaki]

^I was curious about that.

[Delition]

My girlfriend and I watched "Juno" last night. It was decent, but I'm not sure it was "the best movie of all time", as some of the people around here (Eau Claire, not the Atlus boards) are saying.

[DarkShear]

24 Season 3 Disc 3, show continues to be fun to watch, good times.

[bullman422]

Watching Dallas Season 7, disc 4.

[SlaughterX]

Watched Cloverfield last night, pretty decent movie, didn't end like I expected it would have... and I wasn't a huge fan of the recording style, but still not bad, though I would have rather seen it in HD.

[Futomimi]

There Will Be Blood over the weekend. 3/5.

Just kidding. It started out really slow, but got awesome toward the end.

Also watched One Missed Call. Worthless piece of crap. I want to go on a rant about pop horror movies of the last few years, but I know no one will be interested, so I'll save it.

[DamageCity]

Super High Me - great movie

[ViolenceJack]

Watched an awful martial arts movie titled Kiltro.

And I'll be watching The Abyss later today.

[DarkShear]

Watched: Cloverfield

It wasn't bad. Not worth owning 4 copies of it though. I'd say my one viewing might be my last until I catch it on TV.

But it wasn't terrible, it was fun dumb.

3 out of 5, one viewing needed and you'll be satisfied.

[Voodoo]

Watched The Mist last night. Its about a 2.5 out of 5
This morning i watched The Land Before Time 12....or is it 1200? They need to stop making these ####ing movies

[Kakizaki]

Delicatessen.

[DarkShear]

Delicatessen.

One of my favorite movies. Your thoughts? are pointless if you didn't like it. :)

[Kakizaki]

^Loved it. Wish I would have watched it years ago as I dig some of the director's other movies, particularly City of Lost Children. I really think that Delicatessen would also appeal to fans of Fallout. I plan on buying it. I actually caught it on a cable On Demand service for free.

Yeah, great director. Why I rented it a few years back. City of Lost Children is good too, but I like Delicatessen a lot more.

[Kakizaki]

I can see that, but I like the depth of the world in CoLC much more. There is so much going on and the sets are incredible. I would like to see more movies in the same vein.

I've been planning on seeing this since Kid recommended it to me a few years ago, but you just bumped it to the top of my NetFlix queue, right on top of Man Bites Dog.

[DarkShear]

right on top of Man Bites Dog.

Another great foreign film, Man Bites Dog. Enjoy it, it's easy to do.

[Sayckeone]

^Yeah, I've wanted to see it for over 10 years now, and thanks to NetFlix, I can now find it.

[DarkShear]

^Yeah, I've wanted to see it for over 10 years now, and thanks to NetFlix, I can now find it.

Man Bites Dog, if I had an extra $30 for a DVD (its tough for me to spend over $10 on a DVD), this would be the first movie I'd buy.

-----------------

Watching: Paint Your Wagon

Classic Clint Eastwood movie but not of the genre most assume.

This is a musical, a funny musical.

I give it 4 out of 5. Very well done movie, funny and entertaining the whole way through.

[Sayckeone]

Musicals need to be outlawed.

[Voodoo]

Musicals need to be outlawed.

Seconded

Watching Gone With the Wind should be punishable by mandatory imprisonment

[RayFoxSith]

I'd rather read Gone With the Wind, anyway.

[Arjuna]

Watched Iron Man today, was pretty ####ing sick. I hope that ending converts the sequel into an Avengers movie.

[Gillian Seed]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/

There are a ton of superhero movies planned. I'm worried I wont like Ironman because of the lame bad guy they picked. They should of gone with the Mandarin.

[DarkShear]

24 Season 4 (I kept incorrectly saying season 3 previously) discs 4, 5 & 6.

[DarkShear]

Hardcore, 1979 flick about a dad tracking down his daughter that disappeared on a church outing. He discovers her in the LA underground porn scene.

[Sayckeone]

^ Awesome. How is it?

[DarkShear]

^ Awesome. How is it?

Oh yeah, my bad. Its actually a good movie. I gave it a 4 out of 5 on Netflix.

Watched: Boys & Girls Guide/Down;

Weird 'comedy' film about the differences between girls and guys going out. It's a documentary styled film that doesn't take itself seriously at all.

Was kind of fun to watch.

[DarkShear]

I went and saw Iron Man tonight.

Really good film, I liked it a lot. I saw a later showing at 9:30 pm and I usually get tired when I'm watching a film in a theater that late. I didn't get tired once, movie kept me entertained throughout the picture.

4 out of 5 easily.

The worst though was waiting for the all the credits roll, easily 5 minutes worth just to see a 30 second glimpse of what the sequel will look like.

[Raithgar]

Just saw Iron Man with the GF.. oddly she enjoyed the new Batman trailer more than the movie itself. Unfortunetly my leg started to act up so we didn't stay to see the clip at the end of the trailer.

[Arjuna]

Your leg started acting up so instead of sitting down and waiting for the end trailer you got up and walked away...?

I really liked Iron Man I hope they get into that whole S.H.I.E.L.D thing more in the next one. lol jesus why did Samuel L have to be Nick Fury that is totally gay. I know that since these movies deal with recent #### it's suppose to be different like the Ultimate universes.

[SlaughterX]

Finally finish Alien 3 last night... fell asleep on it twice before. Weak ass movie just like everyone said, kinda regret rebuying the quadrilogy, but Iw anted to see for myself anyway. Is Resurrection better or worse?

Also I finished watching the 3rd season of Six Feet Under last week, weakest season so far, about to start the 4th season now. I'd rather be watching Lost, but I still have yet to find the first season for $30 or less... I probably should jsut bite the bullet and pay the extra $6 to get it from Amazon, but my cheapness doesn't permit it.

[Sei]

^ It's pretty bad, but probably better, in the same way that plain women often get ugly friends to look more palatable.

[Kakizaki]

Meh, I liked 3 and I really liked Aliens Resurrection, but I know I am in the minority on all accounts. First is still the best, and the 2nd is grossly overrated.

[Raithgar]

Your leg started acting up so instead of sitting down and waiting for the end trailer you got up and walked away...?

LOL, I figured it was better to go when the knee was still working than deal with any potential lock ups. Internal hemorrhaging kinda dose that to me. Thankfully I taken my meds when I gotten home and getting the cryo-cuff ready.

[Gillian Seed]

Walk Hard. It was alright.

[Xeo]

Iron Man was fantastic to me.
And yes the new Bat trailer looks ####ing amazing. (Hardcore Bat nerd right here <)

[RayFoxSith]

Just finished watching Boondock Saints. I've been dying to see it, and I was not let down. One of my favorite movies ever. Up there with Pulp Fiction.

[Sayckeone]

Boondock Saints did not impress me one bit.

[Dual]

Just finished watching Boondock Saints. I've been dying to see it, and I was not let down. One of my favorite movies ever. Up there with Pulp Fiction.

What do you think about Willem DaFoe's performance? I thought his character was great. Previously, I'd only seen him in Spider-Man, where I thought he made a rather poor Green Goblin.

[Olethros]

I watched Revolver the other night. Has anyone else seen this? I hadn't heard of it before I rented it, but I was quite pleasantly surprised with the entertainment level.

I also didn't care for Boondock Saints, I thought it was a pretty stupid movie.

[Gillian Seed]

Boondock Saints did not impress me one bit.

yeah, whats up with the craze for that ####?

[Arjuna]

I enjoyed it but yeah I am not all crazy for it.

[Dual]

I felt it was kind of like a whimsical Pulp Fiction. A reasonable amount of people seemed to be put off by that, by that I mean the fact it was a little "silly." I really liked it, perhaps partially because of that, but I can see why others didn't.

[Saishu]

I'm going to watch Iron Man today, and I'm interested in what everyone else thinks about it. Comments?

[Gillian Seed]

I liked Iron Man, I just wished his enemy or bad guy was someone else. It was actually good, and well done like the original spider-man movie.

[Sayckeone]

Delicatessen and 1990: The Bronx Warriors arrived from NetFlix this week.

[Kakizaki]

^read that wrong and thought you had watched it. :(

[DarkShear]

So I finally bit the bullet and ordered Lost season 1 on Netflix. All you guys do is talk about it.

Watched: Lost season 1 disc 1

Good start, I like it. :)

Also Boondock Saints is a good movie, not the best ever, but not crap either. William DeFoe's performance was really good too.

So I finally bit the bullet and ordered Lost season 1 on Netflix. All you guys do is talk about it.

Watched: Lost season 1 disc 1

Good start, I like it. :)
'BOUT ####ING TIME!

Kazaki, I'll watch it tonight!

[Futomimi]

Cloverfield!
I thought it was going to make me sick at first, and the first part with the going-away party was really boring, but it paid off awesomely.

[SlaughterX]

Just finished watching Alien Ressurection... it's pretty ####ing weak too. Maybe losing those last two discs was some type of hint, but ohh well.

[Saishu]

Iron Man was cool. But the fight with the villain was pretty rushed.

I want a real Iron Man suit... Technology needs to catch up with science fiction.

[DarkShear]

Lost Season 1 disc 2, good stuff so far! :)

[Dual]

I watched Speed Racer yesterday and I really, really liked it. Some of the parts are really silly, but it's a kid's movie, too. I'm sick of all the cynical, snooty reviewers picking on this movie when it was so fun to watch. If you're going to watch it, don't go in wanting to hate it or you probably will. I really liked how it didn't even try to be realistic and seemed to feel a lot like a live-action comic book or manga.

[Kakizaki]

So I finally bit the bullet and ordered Lost season 1 on Netflix. All you guys do is talk about it.

Wellllll?????


My g/f watched it yesterday.

[Sayckeone]

Wellllll?????


My g/f watched it yesterday.
Disc was scratched to #### so I couldn't watch it. NetFlix is gonna ship out another tomorrow though.

Watched 1990: The Bronx Warriors. It was half Escape from New York, half The Warriors, and about 100 times cheesier. I ####ing LOLed constantly. DS, you might want to check this one out.

[DarkShear]

^5 putting it on the list and sending it to the top.

Lost season 1 disc 3. Fun show.

[Tenbatsu]

Saw Cloverfield and Iron Man this weekend, both were entertaining.

[Voodoo]

^5 putting it on the list and sending it to the top.

Lost season 1 disc 3. Fun show.

Im on Disc 2 of Lost season 1

[ViolenceJack]

Watched Blue Gender discs 2-5, three more discs to go, then I'll watch the BG movie The Warrior.

[DarkShear]

Finished up Disc 4 of Lost season 1.

I am currently watching Coming to America on HBO. What a fantastic movie.

[Sayckeone]

SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!

[noloe4]

THAT BOY CAN SANG!....GOOD AND TERRIBLE!

[Futomimi]

Joshua - ####ing boring and terrible. Don't bother with it.

The Orphanage - really, really good. I was worried that I had built this up a little too much before watching it since I really like everything I've seen directed by Guillermo del Toro (he's executive producer for this), but I wasn't let down. The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth were better, but this is still worth the time.

annnnd about to watch Creepshow 2 while I write in my journal and go to sleep.

[Kakizaki]

^Are you taking summer class?

[Gillian Seed]

Diary of the Dead.... not that good so far, going to finish it now.

[Futomimi]

Kaki, no. How come?

[Sayckeone]

The Orphanage - really, really good. I was worried that I had built this up a little too much before watching it since I really like everything I've seen directed by Guillermo del Toro (he's executive producer for this), but I wasn't let down. The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth were better, but this is still worth the time.
I approve of this film. Tomas was cool looking.
When Laura went down to the basement and found Simon I was all, "WTF! No ####ing way! :cry: " I figured she would never find him and that he was dead, but to realize that he was in the house the entire time...

I usually dislike happy endings because I find them to be extremely unrealistic, but in the case of this movie, I'm so ####ing glad it had a happy ending.

Also, I saw this in theaters in NYC over a year ago, that means I'm much more hip and cool than you are.

[Futomimi]

I liked the ending too... not only was it a good happy ending (they aren't done well very often IMO), but it actually ####ing HAD a real ending. It seems like the last five to ten movies I've watched have purposefully left the ending ambiguous to make room for a sequel, and it's starting to get on my nerves.

[Kakizaki]

Kaki, no. How come?

Just bored and curious.

[Delition]

I'm finally getting around to watching "Jack of all Trades". I'm hoping I like it.

[DamnedToBeFree]

I just ordered the movie "Now You Know". Has anyone here seen it?

[s1mpleHUmar]

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

I didn't sleep too sound after watching this one. All in all pretty stellar performances.

[Futomimi]

Creepshow 2: not as cheesy as the first. :?

Teeth: Great, great movie. First time I have ever been able to lol at a rape scene. I'm just glad I didn't watch it with the b/f.

The People Under the Stairs: LOL I didn't realize how corny this movie was when I was 8. It was fun to rewatch.

I'm finishing the second season of LOST right now, but I'm not paying much attention because it's the episode that explains what happened to Michael when he was away... and I HATE Michael with a passion. ugh. I wish I could just skip it.

[Sayckeone]

WAAAAAAAAAAALT!!!! MY BOY!!! HAVE YOU SEEN MY BOY??? WAAAAAALT!!!!

[Saishu]

Saw a crazy-ass Thai movie at anime club today. Sars Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis. It was stupid fun.

"I lost my virginity to a transexual!" And there was a zombie snake, zombie baby, and other stupid ####.

Also watched Dragon Half.

[DarkShear]

Lost Season 1 Disc 5 completed, this show has a good pace. By the way, Michael from season 1, I keep picturing him in a wheel chair from his days as an actor in the HBO show Oz.

[Futomimi]

I picture him in a wheelchair too. For different reasons. :evil:

[Sayckeone]

Delicatessen - 4/5 NetFlix stars. I knew it was a dark comedy, but I wasn't expecting it to be so lighthearted and quirky. Can't say much for reminding me of Fallout, since I don't think I would have thought of that had no one mentioned it, but I can see how it would remind someone. I dug it, but not as much as I thought I would though. The two kids were awesome, btw.

Man Bites Dog - 4/5 NetFlix stars. lol This was good ####. The whole documentary aspect seemed really natural, as if it truly were a documentary. Benoit is awesome; he's a ####ing weirdo though. A charismatic and very poetic weirdo, but a weirdo none the less.

Next up, The Manitou.

[Kakizaki]

Ahhh, sorry man. I guess it had this kind of 50s post apocalyptic look and feel to it that kind of reminded me of Fallout. I feel kind of bad now.

[Gillian Seed]

Delicatessen - 4/5 NetFlix stars. (...)I dug it, but not as much as I thought I would though.(...)

4/5 stars is "Really Lked It", don't be getting too generous there!

[Sayckeone]

Ahhh, sorry man. I guess it had this kind of 50s post apocalyptic look and feel to it that kind of reminded me of Fallout. I feel kind of bad now.
lol Don't feel bad. :P It's not as if I didn't like it, cause I did. It just wasn't "OMG AWESOME FILM/I'm watching Fallout!" for me.

4/5 stars is "Really Lked It", don't be getting too generous there!
lol Yeah, I know, but it's better than 3 stars, just not up to 5. NetFlix's rating system sucks. I dunno, maybe 3 stars is more appropriate. 3.5?

Anyway...

The Matinou - 1/5 NetFlix stars. I was expecting super campy, doesn't take itself seriously, LOL horror. Instead, I got eye rolling, wtf nonsense. This movie took itself completely seriously and was just absurd. The midget was ####ing ridiculous! This movie sucked. If it hadn't taken itself so seriously, I would have liked it more. I think these people actually thought they were making a quality film. Typical 70's supernatural nonsense, only not entertaining, like say, The Amityville Horror or The Poltergeist. Several grades below those, actually.

Up next, Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit On Your Grave! :mrgreen:

[DarkShear]

Lost Season 1 disc 6. Interesting way to end the series. I like the show, glad I started it.

[Voodoo]

Dark is Disc 7 just bonus material? I just finished disc 5 myself.

[Sayckeone]

^Yes.

[Voodoo]

Ok thanks, I'll just skip disc 7 then and move onto season 2 instead.

[DarkShear]

Oz Season 5 Disc 1.

Lots of penis in the first three episodes. For those ladies that are/were big Luke Perry fans, you see how penis in Season 4 of Oz. No I don't know which disc off the top of my head.

[DamageCity]

On a sleaze-o-rama kick recently (probably listening to too much Cramps) getting Beyond The Valley of the Dolls now.

[RayFoxSith]

Saw Van Helsing today with some friends. Zzzzzzzzzzz..........

[Voodoo]

^Yeah but Kate Beckinsale looked hot

[DarkShear]

Saw Charlie Wilson's War. Good movie, 4 out of 5. Great pace and entertaining.

[SlaughterX]

Finished the 4th season of 6 Feet Under last night. The last episode is pretty crazy... only one more season left before I can finally sell this set! I don't plan on watching it right away though.

I start work at Blockbuster on Friday so I will get all the new movies a week in advance, no more spending money on weak ass over priced Blu-Rays, and I can finally start Lost soon...

[Voodoo]

Started Lost season 2 lastnight

[Sayckeone]

Cannibal Holocaust - Umm... 2 or 3/5 NetFlix Stars. I don't know. Kind of tame; no where near as brutal as I thought it would be. Exploitation.

[Futomimi]

^ I never understood why that film has the reputation that it does.

[allie_razakel]

Recently watched: Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Reason: Curious

Reaction after watching movie: =.=
Reason: Disappointed with roles.

Extra Info (highlight): I SAW JESUS. WOOOO!

Next in line: Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull
Expectation: Moderate


TV Shows (recently): House Season 4, The Twilight Zone (the original b&w series)
Reason: It was with me.
Reaction: >8D (for House), :cry: (for Twilight Zone)

They were right about the Twilight Zone. It really creeps you out. A lot.

[DarkShear]

Wristcutters: A Love Story

The movie lasts 1 hour and 24 minutes'ish. 4 out of 5 stars.

Good flick, very entertaining. I also liked seeing Patrick Fugit, the guy from Almost Famous (who was a 16 year old kid in the movie).

Anyways, rent it if you're in the mood for a quirky, crack a smile at the corner of your mouth type of 'comedy'. Girls would call this movie cute.

Netflix synopsis:
Trapped in an alternate world populated by suicide victims, a band of souls tries to find an escape route in Goran Dukic's quirky fantasy. Although he took his own life, Zia (Patrick Fugit) isn't ready for such a grim hereafter, particularly when he learns that his ex-girlfriend also killed herself. On a quest to find her, he befriends a jaded hitchhiker and a Russian rocker, and together, they set out in search of a more appealing afterlife.

[DarkShear]

Oz Season 5 disc 2. More cock, more great acting. A lot of former Oz actors have had successful careers in other TV programs and movies.

[Gillian Seed]

After Dark Horror Fest. I got all 8 films so I am watching them over the next few days.

[DarkShear]

Oz Season 5 Disc 3. Season was short, only 8 episodes. This disc has 2 episodes total. This disc didn't have as much cock, but it still had a decent amount. In fact, I think season 5 pretty much every character at one point or another was trying to get their dick on the screen. Maybe because everyone knew they the show was about to be canceled (one season left), so they figured "hey I want to world to see my junk". Perhaps.

Anyways, it was a good season. Not as powerful/moving as some prior seasons. Yes I did just say moving in regards to this show. I loved season 1 of Oz.

[Futomimi]

After Dark Horror Fest. I got all 8 films so I am watching them over the next few days.

2007 or 2006? If it's the latest one, I've only watched Crazy Eights, and it was entirely forgettable.

[Flußkönig]

Just got back from seeing the new Indiana Jones movie. I didn't like it all that much.

It totally missed the mark of the older movies and the action seemed way over the top. Maybe Indiana Jones just isn't as cool without the Nazi's or maybe Harrison Ford is just to old for the role.

[Inzaghi]

Just got back from seeing the new Indiana Jones movie. I didn't like it all that much.

It totally missed the mark of the older movies and the action seemed way over the top. Maybe Indiana Jones just isn't as cool without the Nazi's or maybe Harrison Ford is just to old for the role.

I agree re: the movie, but I don't think it's Ford's fault or the lack of Nazis. It just wasn't a very good script, and half the concepts in it had no place in an Indiana Jones movie.

[Sayckeone]

Hmm... I'm gonna believe Inzaghi cause we're the same age and grew up on the same pop culture #### as kids at the same time. I still have to see it on principle alone though.

After Die Hard 4 though, I'm ready for disappointment.

[Flußkönig]

I agree re: the movie, but I don't think it's Ford's fault or the lack of Nazis. It just wasn't a very good script, and half the concepts in it had no place in an Indiana Jones movie.

The comments about Ford's age and the Nazi's were just my feeble attempt at humor. You are spot on about the script and the plot elements being to blame. Honestly I was shocked at how bad the movie turned out.

[Tivor]

After Die Hard 4 though, I'm ready for disappointment.

As silly as that movie was, it at least had a good chemistry between Bruce Willis and Justin Long, which made that movie a lot more entertaining than it had any right to be. In Indiana Jones 4, there is not even such chemistry between Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf, so the movie just stays being silly.

Anyway, I went in with a very, very muted expectation, mainly because 1) the trailers looked BAD, and 2) Harrison Ford's appearances on David Letterman and Conan O'Brien gave me the vibe that he himself didn't give a crap about the movie. And I came out mildly entertained, much thanks to keeping my expectation low.

It's been said that Harrison Ford et al were waiting for a script that everybody could agree on. It's clear that what they agreed on was, "Let's get this over with. If we wait for any more rewrites, we won't have any movie at all because Harrison will be too old." :x

[Yazarc]

I Spit On Your Grave! :mrgreen:

I saw this years ago.....How did you like it?

[DamnedToBeFree]

Harrison Ford's appearances on David Letterman and Conan O'Brien gave me the vibe that he himself didn't give a crap about the movie.



Actually, Harrison Ford interviews over the past few years have been rather mundane. He's just too old and uninteresting nowadays.

[Kakizaki]

^Over the past few years? Try over the past two decades. I like some of his movies, but he is a strange dude.

[DarkShear]

I Spit On Your Grave! :mrgreen:

I saw this years ago.....How did you like it?

That movie is crazy! It has easily the longest rape scene in the history of cinema, quite possibly 45 minutes long.

[SlaughterX]

Watched Alien vs. Predator on BR. I don't know what were all the compliants with this movie about, but I enjoyed it very much. Much better than the last 2 Alien movies and Predator 2. I will rent Requim next week.

[DamnedToBeFree]

^AvP isn't a bad movie, but at the same time, it's just kinda "meh". I have yet to see Requiem though.

[DarkShear]

1990: Bronx Warriors. Entertaining movie for sure, 3 out of 5 stars. Would love to know where they filmed the movie for the scenes within ruined buildings and tunnels.

[Kid Marin]

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly).

[DarkShear]

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly).

Good flick?

[Kid Marin]

Yeah, really. The subject may not sound engaging, but the movie is witty and never boring.

[Sayckeone]

I Spit On Your Grave! :mrgreen:

I saw this years ago.....How did you like it?

I liked it. 3/5 NetFlix stars. I didn't think the rape scene was as brutal as it's made out to be. In 1978, absolutely. In 2008, no. Of course, as I said earlier, I'm probably too desensitized. The rape scene in The Hill Have Eyes remake hit me harder, though that's probably because it's a deformed monster doing it and I really dig the actress. The bathtub scene was my favorite part, btw.

Blood, violence, lots of tit shots. I dug it.

DS, dude, how gay is the main character in Bronx Warriors? lol I couldn't take him at all seriously. Apparently, they found him in some gym in Italy. Also, it was filmed entirely in NYC, mainly the Bronx. So all those run down, desloate neighborhoods were the real thing.

[Master Zombots]

I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull yesterday; it was an excellent movie. I feel that the addition of the new characters fit perfectly with the old films, and the atmosphere was great. When Harrison Ford put on his fedora and whip, it was just like the old Indy.

[Sayckeone]

:roll:

[EvilHero]

I too went and saw Indiana Jones, this is the first Indy movie i've watched all the way through so there wasn't any nostalgia factor for me, it was an ok movie.

I also watched Superman Doomsday, it was a pretty cool movie, I just wish it followed more closely to the Reign of the Supermen story arc.

:roll:

Remember Saycke, its not about going to see the movie, its about showing your friends online that you did.

[SlaughterX]

Tried to watch Juno last night, wasn't really aware what type of movie it was, but if I knew I wouldn't have rented it. Meh.

[Voodoo]

I had to suffer through Juno and 27 dresses last week. Sometimes being married can be a real bitch.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Is Juno really that crappy? It looks interesting, but my sister saw it, and she said it definitely would not appeal to me.

[Esoteric]

Juno is very... out there. It's definitely a film who's target audience is early teen/ late teen girls while still being universally applicable. I enjoyed it the 1st time through, because it had some interesting writing and subtle wit, but the 2nd time through was boring. I guess a good word for Juno is... cute. It's no masterpiece.

[DamnedToBeFree]

^Ah I was afraid of that. When my sis told me about Juno, she also said it was a "cute" movie, and compared it to "Gilmore Girls".

[Sayckeone]

^lol Darren would probably love it then.

[DarkShear]

The first time I saw Juno I liked it, good writing and great acting. Besides, Vern Schillinger (the character from Oz) was in it!

Re: Bronx Warriors: Yeah that main actor "Trash" was hilariously bad. My friend couldn't stop laughing at how long his ####ing legs were compared to his upper torso.

[allie_razakel]

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly).

Sad movie. ;__;



Regarding the new Indy movie, I think it was quite...all right. Perhaps it's just because of Cate Blanchett and her oh-so-sexy outfit and hair. And her sword was cool, too bad they didn't give her more sword-fight scenes.

And the song! The theme song! I'm surprised they didn't try to make it go on and on like Ironman. XD

I've never been a fan of Shia, so...well, his involvement in this movie was...quite...well, I was really disappointed. I suppose that when you hate the actor, you tend to hate the movie, in a way, especially when that actor plays a big role in the movie.

Oh well. Anyone watched "Once" yet? It's nice. :D

[Futomimi]

Haha, I liked Juno, but I can agree that it is definitely more of a girl's/woman's movie. There were only two big problems with it that I saw, and one of them wasn't really the movie's fault.
1. Some of the dialogue was really off. "Honest to blog?" What teenager actually ####ing says that?
2. I think it should have been billed as more of a quirky coming-of-age story than a comedy, because comedy has more of a laugh-out-loud connotation to it. There weren't that very many of those moments, but it did have a lot of off-beat charm and a few parts that I smiled at.

Anyway:
Crazy Eights (one of the 8 films to die for, 2007): Lame. Mediocre and forgettable in pretty much every regard: acting, plot, make-up effects, ending, pacing... Also not bad enough to be entertaining at all. 2/5.

Reincarnation (one of the 8 films to die for, 2006): I wasn't expecting much after the last movie, and since I haven't been impressed too much with some of the other popular Japanese horror movies, but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a masterpiece by any means, compared to The Ring/Ringu, The Grudge/Ju-On series, and Suicide Club (both US and Japanese versions), it was a pretty interesting ghost story with a good atmosphere. 3/5.

Zombies Anonymous: When I rented this, I was expecting cheesy B-movie "lolhorror" as Saycke put it, and I was surprised. It's definitely a B-movie, and that shows in the cinematography and some of the actors (crazy zombie-hating bitch in particular)... but there were a few good actors (heroine, abusive boyfriend) that were good, and I loved the concept of it. There's also a huge amount of action in the second half of the movie, which was impressive for its budget.
It's about a girl that is killed by her abusive boyfriend and becomes a zombie due to a virus. Since the virus is so widespread, however, a huge chunk of the population is Undead, and instead of burning them or blowing out their brains, they have these hesitant quasi-rights similar to what blacks in the US had before the 1960s. She joins a support group for the Undead, and buys Look Alive face cream, etc. to try to fit in better; meanwhile, her boyfriend joins what is essentially the zombie-hating version of the KKK. 4/5.

The Mist: I had heard mixed reviews about this, but I liked it. Some of the dialogue was unnatural (the director should have had King's input with the screenplay IMO), and the first ten minutes are slow, but the atmosphere is great. The best part of the movie is the ending, which is great for a big-budget horror movie in this decade. 4/5.

Next on the list:
Black Sheep. THERE ARE 40 MILLION SHEEP IN NEW ZEALAND, AND THEY'RE PISSED OFF!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gEDUDmZkyc

[Tenbatsu]

I just saw Black Sheep two weeks ago, picked it up on a whim from blockbuster. Basically, if you liked Dead Alive you will like this to a degree.

The makers of Black Sheep tried to capture the Dead Alive feeling and at times they succeeded but there were some scenes where it fell short. Although getting sheep to play along couldn't have been easy.

There are plenty of scenes that will make you 'lol' but there are also some that didn't quite work; especially the 'lolfart' jokes.

Overall though it was an entertaining horror comedy and recommended if you like the genre.

[Olethros]

Mimi, what is/where is this list of 8 to die for movies? I'm surprised I've never heard of this before, but it seems like a great idea. The wife and I love to watch the lower B-grade horror movies on weekend evenings.

[Sayckeone]

Olethros, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Films_to_Die_For

Mimi, I completely forgot about Black Sheep. Thanks for reminding me!

[Olethros]

^ Awesome. Thanks Saycke.

EDIT: I've actually seen most of the ones from 2006, and three (Lake Dead, Crazy Eights, Mulberry St.) for 2007. I just never knew there was a festival attached to them!

[Esoteric]

2. I think it should have been billed as more of a quirky coming-of-age story than a comedy, because comedy has more of a laugh-out-loud connotation to it. There weren't that very many of those moments, but it did have a lot of off-beat charm and a few parts that I smiled at.

This bothered me too. I think FOX Searchlight called it a comedy because they called "Little Miss Sunshine" a comedy. With the way they marketed Juno and it's 1st time writer Diablo Cody, it's very apparent that they were hoping for the same success that LMS got. Truth is, Juno just isn't as good as LMS on many levels, especially writing. Honest to blog.

[Delition]

I had to suffer through Juno and 27 dresses last week. Sometimes being married can be a real bitch.

I ended up watching 27 Dresses with my girlfriend, and I'm still sticking with my whole "I don't believe in romantic comedies because they usually aren't funny" statement. For anyone who hasn't seen the movie? You can probably guess everything that's going to happen in it just from the romantic comedy formula.

I would say I want my money back, but my girlfriend was the one who rented it.

[Futomimi]

I hate romantic comedies more than I even know how to express. The only two I can think of that were worth my time were Harold and Maude and Amelie.
And thanks, Tenbatsu, for the heads-up.

Esoteric, I haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine yet, but I want to. I know, so late. :?

[Inzaghi]

I was going to suggest Say Anything and High Fidelity as romantic comedies that don't suck, but I assume you've seen them already.

[Sayckeone]

John Cusak is awesome.

[ViolenceJack]

Took my brother to see Iron Man today, pretty good movie, we stayed 'til after the credits to see Nick Fury mention the Avengers, which we thought either means there's going to be an Avengers movie, or they will be the focus of Iron Man 2, plus we thought that War Machine would likely be in the sequal.

I also watched the first two episodes of Star Ocean EX.

[DamnedToBeFree]

^There supposedly will be an Avengers film, and the eventual Captain America film is supposed to set it up further.

[Voodoo]

I believe there are Nick Fury and Thor movies planned as well.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Yea I think Marvel's plan is to have films for these individual franchises, and drop hints in each film about the eventual formation of the Avengers. This is just a rumor I've heard, so take it as you will.

[SlaughterX]

Finished watching the first disc of Lost last night, John is cool. There seems to be a lot of cool characters in this series, I guess that's why people enjoy it so much. One thing that bothers me is that there many people ont he island that you never even see talking, I hope they dig deeper into the rest of the people, or maybe they will just kill them off, guess I will find out soon enough.

A couple days ago I watched Out of Sight in HD. J-Lo's ass looked fantastic, the movie was pretty decent too. :)

[Gillian Seed]

^There supposedly will be an Avengers film, and the eventual Captain America film is supposed to set it up further.

IMDB it, Thor, Capitan America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers are all planned. Marvel has a lot coming.

[ViolenceJack]

Watched GTO Live Drama eps 2-12 (the series was very good), the collection also has the movie on it as well, so I watched that for the 3rd time.

Then I watched the Midori Days series again.

Star Ocean EX seemed to follew the game pretty closely with minimal changes at first, but by Eps 10 they go astray, least Rena looks cute in the anime, too bad she only ever heals and never uses any of her other spells from the game though, same with Claude (they pronounce his name funny sounds like they're saying Cloud) Claude finally learns 'Air Slash', I would of liked to of seen more variety in used skills and spells in the series not just re-hash of the same thing over and over.

Also the Blue Gender Movie 'The Warrior' is garbage. They juast took scenes from the series and rehashed them into a movie changing the plot here and there, I found myself Fast Forwarding through most of it.

[SlaughterX]

Anime thread...

Anyway I watched Semi-Pro yesterday, and The Eye the day before, both on Blu-Ray. They both featured 7.1 HD audio tracks, but you wouldn't have guessed Semi-Pro was any more than stereo. Neither movies were really worth watching though, but my store never gets the HD movies in that I actually want to see (liek There Will Be Blood), at least not on time...

[DarkShear]

Oz Season 6 Disc 1.

Interesting start to season 6. So far less cock than season 5. I don't know how I feel about that. I was so used to be a lot of penis and now that they've taken away the penis...hmmph.

Oz Season 6 Disc 1.

Interesting start to season 6. So far less cock than season 5. I don't know how I feel about that. I was so used to be a lot of penis and now that they've taken away the penis...hmmph.

LOL

Don't tell me you're missing it.

I'm not missing it. It doesn't offend me so I don't care when it's there and neither do I care when it's not there.

One of the good things about being a dude is if you start missing penis you can just look down.

[LadyRayna]

^True. But then I can't help but wonder why Mara is so popular.

I'm watching Hercules The Legendary Journeys with Kevin Sorbo, starting from season one. I loved that show as a teenager and it is rather amusing to see again. One of my goals is to count how many times Iolas dies during the series. So far my count is up to only 1, but I'm only halfway through the first season. I was always under the impression that he dies many times back when I watched it occasionaly on TV, and that every time Hercules does something to bring him back.

Rocket Science -

Good movie, okay pace, 3 out of 5 stars. Was quirky fun and entertaining most of the 1 hour and 40 something minutes of the movie.

Saw II:

Hmmph. I knew what to expect, something oddball'ishly fun. And I guess it was.

So I liked it. I didn't love it. I definitely wouldn't buy or watch the movie again this year.

But I would tell someone to watch it if they were bored and wanted to be entertained. It was scary or suspenseful at all. So I wouldn't call it a horror or suspense movie.

But with that said. I would rate the movie 2 out of 5 on pure entertainment value alone. One time entertainment value. Again, I'll watch Groundhogs day EVERYTIME its on TV. Same with Big Trouble in Little China.

If Saw II is on I'll find someone else.

Saw Hot Fuzz (Awesome), Tenacious D's movie ( :roll: ), and Sweeny Todd (Awesome) last night.

[DarkShear]

^I actually liked the Tenacious D movie (pick of destiny). I didn't figure it to be a slap stick comedy going in.

The only part that made me crack a smile was the Clockwork Orange reference in the beginning.

I dunno man, maybe you expected to much? I HATED Zoolander the first time I saw it. I just didn't "get it". Now it's one of those if it's on TV I watch it every time. I wouldn't buy it mind you, but I'll get sucked into it's stupidity real easy.

I just watched Oz Season 6 Disc 2. The 6th episode of the season is by far the best. Very well done.

[DarkShear]

Oz Season 6 disc 2 & 3.

Disc 3 has the last two episodes ever. The last episode was a good finisher. In fact, the 6th season wasn't bad. I really did enjoy it. I just wish they could have gotten a few more episodes produced as the season was only 8 episodes long.


Watch Oz.

Oz is a great show.

[DarkShear]

Oz is a great show.

Agreed on Oz. I'm glad I finally finished the series.

Finished up Death Wish last night. What a fantasticly fun movie from the 70s. I really dig the 1970's Hollywood cinema. They churned out a lot of fun sci-fi/action movies. Good times had by all for sure and Death Wish is another one of those great 70's classics. It has a good pace for the length of it's 90 minutes.

I'm also a big fan of 90 minute movies. When did Hollywood decide we needed to sit down for another 30 minutes? Sure for some 'stories' they are telling it is essential. But for an action movie? No thanks, 90 minutes is fine.

4 out of 5 stars.

I just got Devil May Cry volume 2 and listened to the English version. (warning... SPOILERS) Wow, Dante used the 'f-' word! :shock: I had to rewind that part to make sure I heard him right. :lol: I always figured he had a dirty mouth (he spouts f-words left to right in my fanfics, lol). Strantely, I wish the games Capcom would let him use those words often since he's exactly that type of guy who would. I was glad in DMC3 he actually used the word 'pi**ed.'

There was also a *very* homoerotic moment in that episode, with the jailer licking his lips and talking about Dante's firm body. Yeah, the jailer was demon, but what he said after that statement made me wonder if he wanted Dante for dinner or in the bed sack. :lol:

my favorite episode from that volume was definitely "In Private." That was freakin' hilarious!

The French Connection, bro. 70's cinema is definitely great.
