Good Movies Lately...

[Numanoid]

The last good movie I saw at the

theatre was Collateral. The chemistry between Tom Cruise' character and Jamie Foxx's character was great.

Actually I saw it twice, cus I thought it was that good.

[MOBLEYC57]

Lady and Gents....I give you

"The life of David Gales." That Kevin Spacey fella is Outstanding! That's with a capital OUTSTANDING!!

[SweetBrenda]

I'm about to go watch

"W.i.l.l.o.w" so many people have told me that is one great movie so I'm about to make my own opinion on this

one....

“Shawn of the Dead”: There’s some

social satire, but mostly it’s a verry well done play on the tension/frustration you feel while watching stupid

people try to get away from mindless, slow moving zombies.
Warning! This is not a straight up comedy. There’s a

few shocks, lots of gore and way more suspense than “Resident Evil”.

Anyone with a

taste for HORROR, seen THE GRUDGE? If so, is it worth me monies ... is it scary ... I like

being afraid!?

[Pancho1188]

My co-worker, who's pretty

big (well, anyone who has me by a few inches and ~40 pounds is pretty sizable, in my opinion) and not very outwardly

expressive of his emotions, said he locked his door and had the light on all night after he saw it.

[SwingerMD]

Mobley,

I'm getting a lot

of negative reviews from friends that have seen it. I'm interested in seeing "Ray" today. I got to see Ray

Charles in his last major performance up here in Seattle a year or two ago (awesome).

I'm planning on catching

"The Incredibles" next week. I'm a big Star Wars fan and I've heard that the teaser trailer for "Star Wars: The

Revenge of the Sith" is coming out before that movie.

Thanks Pancho & Swinger!



One yeah, one neah ... I'm in need of a serious shot of hair-raising HORROR!

Jeepers Creepers was my last fix!

I saw the 'Grudge' last weekend and I thought it was pretty scary. It

sort of lost steam during the second half but the climax was pretty spooky. The Grudge is actually a remake of JuOn

- a Japanese version. I haven't seen it yet but I'd like to. The Japanese version of the sequel is already

available on video. If anyone is interested in Asian cinama check out this link -

[MOBLEYC57]

MOBLEY: Cabin Fever. I dare ya.

DVD. Ol Skool horror.

[SweetBrenda]

Finally I got the chance to

watch the movie The Day after Tomorrow!! that was pretty good I must add...

[Holmes]

Just saw Sideways. Highly

recommended!

[SweetBrenda]

I saw "Shall we dance" ( umm

not impressed.)

[slick]

Has any1 seen the new excorcist

film, ive been told its scary, i might see it on the weekend

[bjf]

Neverland I enjoyed.

[a.k.a.]

“House of Flying Daggers” is

amazing. Action, Romance, Intrigue and some of the best cinematography I’ve ever seen. (You barely even need the

subtitles. Most of the story is told visually and the dialogue just fills in a few details.)
I can’t wait

to see it again.

It was cool to see how Zhang took a potential obstacle (the snowstorm)

and made it work on so many levels. Incredible scene.

[metroman]

Door in the Floor...intelligent

well made movie...

[MOBLEYC57]

Just caught the 7:10

showing of HITCH f/Will Smith, this p.m. It has been a looooooooooooong time since I've heard the

ENTIRE theatre crack up. There was an elderly man (60-70) behind me that could not stop laughing. The tears were

rolling down my face for almost the entire movie!



If your sense of humor isn't in need of a tune up, you need to see it! I

H I G H L Y recommend it for a good laugh!

[SwingerMD]

Brenda,

I just saw this on DVD. Not impressed either. I highly

recommend the original Japanese version though. (You are talking about the American version, right?)

Mobley,

This is really

piquing my interest. Heard similar reports from my friends. BTW So if your sense of humor really needs an

overhaul, you don't need to see it?

If you speak

English, and understand how crazy relationships can be, you're sense of humor doesn't have to be fine tuned,

Swinger.

There are relationship bits, speed dating, and people acting like people sound here in this

forum ... all in one movie.

I don't think anyone that's capable of laughing will be disappointed in

this movie.

Next movie fer me .... Constantine! Needing a shot of HORROR in my

life!

[Holmes]

YEARH! Six awards, baby.

Well-deserved, to say the least.

Bravo, kids!

[Bruce]

Anyone see Kitchen Stories? Nice

foreign film: Scandanavian. Norwegian I think. Touching story.

I watched What The Bleep Do We

Know? last night. Great message (dead on, if watered-down to Aquafina). Cheesy packaging.

Anyone else see

it?

I watched What The Bleep Do We Know? last night. Great message (dead on, if watered-down to

Aquafina). Cheesy packaging.

Anyone else see it?

Saw it three times: Cheezy elements, and stuff I'd

heard before; but at the time I felt good leaving the theater. I liked it a lot. The idea that you create your own

reality (here ideas dovetailed with Matrix a bit) is empowering.

It was filmed right here, so I reconized many

of the places in the film. It also premiered here, so I saw it a long while ago.

It did so well, it stayed

showing at the same old theater (the one pictured in the film) for months, at two shows a day.

The film has

generated a lot of critical flack in the local press; from charges of "hippie bullshit," (Ramtha, etc.) to

controversy about some neocon religious cult that the filmmakers are involved with. For example:

http://www.wweek.com/story.php?story=5860

Ironically, the

neocon idea is that, since you create your own reality, where you are is your own damn fault: You're on your

own, and don't need the government's help! The "haves" deserve to have, and the "nots" don't.

This

underscores that the insight behind the film is a dangerous idea -- that, even if true, the "general

population of idiot monkeys" might not be ready for it. Personal responsibility is highly threatening to us, and in

fact is somewhat dangerous.

This is probably the one characteristic that keeps religion and its mindset from

evolving, to keep pace with reason and civilization. After all, if God is within each of us, rather than in the

Bible, what is to prevent everyone from making their own rules? Could everything become "permissable"? Wouldn't

that mean the crumbling of all sacred and secure things? This is to say nothing of the individual's power to

create.

It is impossible to overestimate the amount of fear that middle America feels at the half-witted

contemplation of these ideas.

The problem is, that for our fundamental ideas and beliefs about the universe to

not evolve is way more dangerous and threatening! The old set of ideas is killing us and our planet.

I

personally wanted them to emphasize the science more, and the "new-aginess" less. I thought they hurt their own

"case" unnecessarily with it. But the controversy that came out later suggested that the filmmakers may have had

another agenda.

But it was a huge popular success. I'm glad you got to see it. I had recommended the film to

others.
