last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

I hear you, I'm not anti-CGI I just need a reason why it's there and not just "because it's cool". Pixar has put out some entertaining, memorable, and quality films and some have been much more original than Avatar...

that sounds mint mate;D

watched swordfish last night i have seen it abt 1o times before but really like the movie, travolta is a great bad guy;D

Right now I'm watching "The Big Sleep" with Bogart and Bacall, great flick. And this Tuesday Godfather II will be playing at the same old timey theatre I went to last Tuesday.

When are you going to get to those old pictures Drago? At least some of them you will find totally worth it.

yeah man i enjoyed that one;D

theres a few movies i am looking forward to

mel gibson in edge of darkness

the tooth fairy with the rock (me & my daughter will get a big popcorn in @ the cinema for this one)

disneys princess & the frog (another film for the family cos we all prefer good old fashioned animation to CGI)

jude law in repo men

...I am looking forward to "The Expendables" and "The Wolfman"

Havent seen to many movies lately guys and I really haven't posted much on here after I got back from Vegas I have been super busy playing catch up.

Only movie I have soon lately is The Soloist thought it was a pretty decent flight. I'm still waiting to See Inglorious Bastards.

I went to the IMAX to check out Avatar last weekend but the theater was so damn packed I couldn't find a seat so I just left.

"The Devil's Advocate"....old school???

Dude seriously....just take a look at the AFI 100 years 100 movies catch a couple of those and then let me know how wonderful something like "The Devil's Advocate" is. Sure it's entertainment but there's a big difference in entertainment and film.

"The Guns of Navarone" was on earlier.....great great movie. Now I believe I'll cap off my evening with "Casablanca"

Sherlock Holme's out in a few days over there, I am quite curious, not sure it'll be that great but I've always loved SHerlock Holmes things and I think that Robert Downey JR is on a roll for great performances lately so there must be something interesting getting out of it all.

paranormal activity, spoke to a few people who hate it & sum it scares stupid, i wasnt scared by it personally but there was a few freaky bits in it tho. mainly there is only one person on the screen at a time so it does well to make a film 90 mins long (gotta say maybe 10 mins to long) i am a big fan of the blair witch project & its not as good as that one but it has its moments. as i watched on dvd as opposed to cinema i think i would have rated this much higher because i imagine it would be ten times scarier on big screen as blair witch was.

yeah i heard of that one it got good reviews but i hate subtitles with a passion u end up just staring at the words instead of watching the movie.

watched The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans last night & oh my god why oh why did they remake this film its truelly horrible, the original bad lietenant is a classic. another nicolas cage pile of shite! imdb.com has a score of 7.1 for the film (what the hell:mad:).

found this trailer for expendables

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDu2v4h7gsY

looks good fun

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin

I finally saw Good Night and Good Luck the other day, excellent film.

3d Avatar.
Impressive special effects!

My significant other wanted to see Avatar and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. The movie disappointed, it was basically a poor man's Dances with Wolves but with loads of CGI.

Ha ha ha, yeah I did see that South Park episode. I'm guessing teens and people in their early 20s may think this is an cinematic masterpiece but seasoned movie buffs will not find it very impressive. It is visually stunning, but the plot, characterization and pace of the movie leaves something to be desired.

I'm glad that someone other than myself also cares about plot. All Avatar is, is a platform for Hollywood to show off new CGI and technology. I just don't think any movie should rely on 100% special effects to carry a film, unless it's an action movie and they aren't going to find their way on Masterpiece Theatre anytime soon

yup too true

Keep getting told how great this movie is to watch visually. As an actual story it falls way short of the mark

Cartman and smurfette would of been a match made in heaven ;D

watched die hard 4.0 again the other night, its ok i suppose but the original is one of my fav films of all time

i believe our american friends call the movie live free or die hard wonder why it changed names over here:confused:

same as 'Rambo' & 'John Rambo' or was it 'Rambo 4':confused:

'harry & the hendersons' turns into 'bigfoot & the hendersons'

'above the law' turns into 'Nico'

whats all that abt:confused:

Dug out oldie but goodie 'Band of the hand'.Loved that one,little campy but shit man its the 80's afterall ;D

Gamer
Not a bad watch:thumb:

Watched 'Ed Wood' again on dvd. Really, really good and funny.

I was sick a couple weeks ago and had enough spare time to spend 4 hours on "once upon a time in america"

really good mob flick

Love & Basketball.

Good film.

Havoc, anyone seen it?

To add to my gayness, I watched 'Confessions of a shopoholic' (my wife's birthday film choice ;)) Fuck me that is a shit film :cool:

I just watched the new Firm, it was total wank. How the hell did they think they could replace Gary Oldman ?

rewatched The Forbidden Kingdom. Jet Ki as the Monkey King is cool as fuck.
