tazinib1 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I didn't see The Matrix until about two years aftre its release. I didn't think that I would like the movie because Kee-now is a dope. I was wrong...about the movie. You should see it on Blue Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 not a movie, but netflix online just added 3rd Rock from the Sun to their catalog. I recall seeing it here there when its on but didn't recall how clever the show was. Somewhere with in the first couple episodes they're watching a couple start to get busy from their window and Harry asks "I wonder what he's looking for". Awsome, because it was indirect and they didn't dwell on it. I appriciate comedy that doesn't go out of its way to hit you with every joke like a hammer.

satelliteoflovegm Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just watched Lonesome Dove this past summer. Loved it. Firefly and Serenity we're terrific too. To include a TV show. Watched them last week at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just saw We Were Soldiers last night for the first time. Great, great movie. I agree!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just saw We Were Soldiers last night for the first time. Great, great movie. Really? I thought it was so overly-manipulative as to be absolutely a condescending, pandering slap in the face. Randall Wallace wrote Braveheart; he also wrote The Patriot...this is FAR short of the former, if not as execrable as the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crock of poo as in "it sucks" or crock of poo as in "so historically inaccurate it might as well be fiction"? Because I'd debate the former, but can't dispute the latter.

Chavez Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Dont be hatin cause Wallace bitch slapped the English Well, not so much - the movie is pretty generous with the facts and has him batting 1-1 in major battles, with style points for knocking up Longshank's daughter-in-law but he probably gets a minus points for getting disembowelled in front of a crowd of people. Actual history...well, pretty much the same except he didn't bang the hot French chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I thought Braveheart was entertaining but very predictable. I actually enjoy it more as one of those movies that you throw in occasionally for a fun, non-thinking movie. Maybe I was dissappointed the first time because of the accolades.

Chavez Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I thought Braveheart was entertaining but very predictable. I'm certainly biased in one sense in that I walked into Braveheart with ZERO expectations (I believe I had read a review that essentially gave it a C+) and it completely blew my socks off. The thing is that the success of BH (IMDB reports its gross at $75m, which made it profitable but not a blockbuster; awards-wise it was off the hook) jump-started the long-dead swords-and-sandals* genre, giving us stuff like Gladiator, so if you saw it a few years after its release, it probably seemed one of those "all that fuss for this? It's well-made, but..." movies. Kind of like someone watching the Marx Brothers for the first time can run into a sense of "why does everyone love these guys? All these jokes are like 100 yrs old..." if they don't stop and think "oh yeah, these guys INVENTED this stuff" * - not all of them were set in the desert but you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
