General talk about movies, TV, radio, and other entertainment discussion.
Discussing favorite movies is a great topic but keep in mind some folks haven't seen the movie yet we may be discussing so don't give the endings away!
Just watched the second movie in as many weeks where we see the US national guard in the movie is in uniform and the US flag is backwards on the right shoulder.. (hills have eyes 2 and Black Snake Moan) Is this a Guard tradition or are the movie guys putting the negatives in backwards? Any input from US folks who know the answer would be appreciated.. Its stumping us!
Mousetrap: Ive never been a big fan of DiCaprio either... He did ok in this. Did you see The Departed? Not a bad movie either with him in it.
You know I was surprised that Forrest won an award for the King of Scotland. The lead character wasn't really recognized at all and did a great job acting in that!
Mousetrap: Very good films.. Have seen them both in the last month or so. I was surprised at King of Scotland as I knew nothing really about Amin so it was quite an eye opener. What a murderous tyrant. DiCaprio did well in Diamond.
coan.net: Oh My Gowd! My son has been talking about it for months..has seen trailers and showed his dad but I kept ignoring them.. So i go to the trailers you posted tonite and.... WOW! it will be a great summer movie! thanks!!!!
TarantinoFan: Aww to too bad youre on PAL.. I cant help you out as we are NTSC.. Ive gotten quite a few good flicks from Ebay.. Will send you a note on how to get the movies you need!
TarantinoFan: Desperado was a fantastic movie! El Miriachi the first in the Desperado series was a small budget but a good start to the story line. (rodriguez is a great director, not fond of his spy kid movies but now that he has kids....) Once upon a time in Mexico wasnt bad but too much Johnny Depp and not enough Antonio and the Antonio storyline Dusk till Dawn 2 an 3 arent keepers but worth watching.. Sin City is definitely a cult classic, love the dark movies.. Thats why I know Grindhouse will be amazing! Can you get the movies you miss off Ebay? (You have NTSC or PAL videos?)
Kool to meet someone with the same taste in movies (not in to typical chick flicks!)
Definitely one of my favs was resevoir Dogs. First time I saw it about 10 years ago I was wowed by it. Then I had to see Dusk till dawn ( A-1) I cant wait for Grindhouse to some out! That is going to be awesome!

件名: Re: do not watch aeon flux you will not get the time back!
harley: Aeon Flux Wasn't sooo terrible but glad I rented it and didn't pay the money at the theatre. My mom saw Poseidon and said she shoulda waited for it to hit DVD. Fun with Dick an Jane was, as you said typical Carey comedy an worth the rental. Not much good to see at the shelves right now either. New World (Colin Farrel)NOW to me, THAT is not worth the rental. What a long slow, uneventful movie. Two comedies if you are in to stupid humour: The Ringer - Johnny Knoxville Granmas Boy - Unknowns but funny pot movie
Saw the new Harry Potter and Jarhead last nite.
Wasn't sure about either before we rented them but went in with an open mind.
I have to say I was quite pleased with both movies.
Harry Potter, to me was by far the best in the series yet but very geared to older kids and adults instead of the younger kids.
I also really enjoyed Jarhead. If you liked Full Metal Jacket this is quite comparable. Kinda like the Full Metal Jacket of Dessert storm.
Summertop: Did you see Crash? If so did you think it deserved top honour? I saw it but don't necessarily think it deserved best nod. I was surprised that Ang Lee got best director. I figured that film would win a few awards.
We saw Wallace and Gromit Friday night and I must say it was rather funny.
And, Clooney gave just about the best acceptance speech I have heard in years.
Fell asleep before the best actress and best movie were presented so had to catch up this morning!
furbster: Saw, saw2 and it was very good IF you are in to gore. And youre right furbster, mega opening for his 'apprentice'. That was a shocking twist.. Well done.
Rented Flight Plan (Jodie Foster) and Doom (The Rock) Both worth the rental and was quite surprised. I didnt expect to like Flight Plan but had a few unexpected twists to it and DOOM, although taken from a vid game wasnt too bad. (If you dont like gore, dont rent it!)
Anyone watch the Grammys last nite? I guess it is more about the entertainment then the awards these days.. all they did was list who won what in between each performer..
harley: But, but but.. when I went to IMDb an typed it in, it only showed me the first two.. hmmmmmm how interesting!!
I take it mister jigsaw doesn't bite the dust in #2 hahaha
grant: Saw Red Eye when It came out a week or so ago. Worth the rental for sure. Not bad. Typical ending tho.
Four Brothers as well is worth the rental. Not great acting by Marky Mark. But then again in all his roles he plays a brooding, soft voiced bad boy doesnt he? lol
SueQ: Sue I did some searching around and found out it is on Fox January 15. Get this a 4 hour season premiere. They are showing I guess that last two hours on the 16.. Hurry an get that last season watched!
harley: Try Volcano (Tommy lee jones)
Worth a watch. Might look for one on DVD called category 5 (was made for tv but is on DVD but not sure if you could get it)
