Guest THEbigred Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) OK I saw these on pay movie channels vs renting but w-t-fudge.... "Magic in the Water" (starring Mark Harmon) - starts out as a possible feel-good family flick w/the deadbeat dad who learns the errors of his ways ie that his career is NOT more important than his kids, with a little Disney-ish twist of some swimming dinosaur, but about 1/2 way through it does a major tailspin and proves a pathetic flick. Even kids would find it very lame IMO. "Secret Window" (starring Johnny Depp) - thriller kinda flick which wasn't dazzling but well worth the watch I think. He's a writer harassed by a psycho guy who claims Depp plaguarized his work. Edited February 22, 2005 by THEbigred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 saw 'american splendor' the other day, and it was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 just watched SAW I would say see it...not for the faint of heart! Not your typical gore flick it is twisted is all i will say! 706243[/snapback] I wanted to rent that last weekend. Mrs. RR loves/hates those movies. She'll watch them with her eyes wide open. Then she'll dream/nightmare about them all night for several nights. I opted for Dodgeball. It was ok, but I slept well Sat. night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest THEbigred Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Just saw the Borne Supremacy. It was ok if you can get past the cinematography. The action scenes were choppy to the point you didn’t know who was ass was being kicked. Man I fn hate hate that "MTV mentality" (ie changing the pic every sec) BS Thx for saving me the bother of trying to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Riding Giants -- a 90 documentary of sorts on Big Wave surfing...very interesting...a good watch... Collateral -- liked it ok, a decent way to spend a couple of hours...but, there are better movies out there... Napoleon Dynamite -- I liked it better than my wife did ... definately offbeat Riddick -- both are very good ... enjoyed them quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Little Bit Special Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Recently viewed: Zatoichi: The Bilnd Swordsman - This one really disappointed me. Apparently Zatoichi is a famous samurai series in Japan, but I found the fight sequences lacked imagination and I didn't really see how the "musical numbers" fit into the whole genre of the movie. Nine Queens - Very good. An Argentinian grifter movie revolving around a con that involves selling a very rare stamp (fake of course). The plot has some interesting twists and turns. I must warn you that it is in spanish with subtitles though. Lost in Translation - Lived up to the hype IMO. I really liked it. [Homer]Mmmm...Scarlett Johansson [\Homer] Cellular - Not a great movie, but it was entertaining enough. I would like to see the numbers on the production costs of this movie. The product placement for Nokia, Cingular, Office Depot, and Porshe, was insane. John Q - I like this one. Denzel stars as a desperate father whose son needs a new heart, but his health insurance won't cover it. He takes an emergency room hostage and wants a new heart for his son as ransom. A little bit over the top on the social agenda meter, but still an entertaining movie. The Rundown - Stars "The Rock" and Stifler. Some nice action sequences and The Rock and Stifler have pretty good comedic chemistry going on. Nothing amazing for a plot but for what it is, it is worth a viewing. Plus, it has monkeys in it and let's face it - monkeys are funny The Grudge - Had its suspenseful moments, but overall it did not stack up to others in the genre (i.e. The Ring). IMO they tell you too much about the "tragedy" early in the movie and leave you no mystery to figure out. Harold and Kumar - Pretty good. Not quite on the level of Road Trip or Half Baked IMO, but it had its moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Kilmer also did a very dark movie a couple years ago that is outstanding: The Salton Sea. 706055[/snapback] I want to have The Salton Sea's baby. GREAT flick. If you haven't seen it, walk past The Day After Tomorrow next time you're at Blockbuster and grab the Kilmer flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiley Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Let's see since Friday I've seen quite a few movies but I don't remember a thing from any one of these movies due to being sick and heavily medicated. Troy - long battle scene, somewhat true to The Illiad, managed to stay awake for most of the film Resident Evil:Apocolypse - saw dead people, slept, saw more dead people Garden State - dude from scrubs, slept some more Napolean Dynamite - something about steaks and ligers Collateral - when did Tom Cruise get so old, slept through 1/4 of the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - really dark movie so I fell asleep again I, Robot - complete blur, tried a different cold medication Mean Girls- Lindsey Lohan and her breasts, even the strongest cold med. couldn't knock me out from looking at those pillows of goodness.

Brentastic Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I loved Napolean Dynamite- check your brain at the door and just enjoy 90 minutes of some pretty *** good comedy. Also a pretty original movie- I can't think of anything else that is like this one, so if you are tired of the same old plot lines and gags give this a try. Napolean, Kip & Uncle Rico are funny to just look at. 634743[/snapback] Great assesment! I agree. Original stupid comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Talked a bunch of friends into watching Shaun of the Dead Sunday night. It was roundly loved (although one of them - the med student, shockingly enough - looked like he was about to cry and/or throw up during some of the gorier parts). For those of you who've been under a rock, SotD is a British "romzomcom" (or "romantic zombie comedy") and it's sort of like - imagine if Spiccoli and Hamilton from Fast Times at Ridgemont High faced zombie apocalypse.

I also liked Kumar's speech at the cliff. Something about their ancestors coming to America because they were really hungry. I can't find the quote anywhere, but to me it was one of the funnier lines in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 We watched Napolean Dynamite last night. There were a couple laugh out loud moments, but mostly because I was embarrassed for the characters. The dead pan delivery and almost complete lack of body language was funny. I was sure that LaFonda was going to turn out to be a man or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) Saw - Nice ending, but a pretty sick movie. Collateral - I guessed what was going to happen in this movie about a 1/3rd of the way through, but it was a good way to waste some time. Constantine - This movie is not for kids or for people who don't like scary occult-type movies. Keanu sucked as usual but the other actors and the CGI make up for it, again.

It was aweful except for the dance scene at the end and the part where he knocks the guy off the bike with the Hamburger. Other then that a total sleeper, not even really funny.
