Watched Beowulf 2007 which was really good action packed movie bordering on being horror. It was 2007 film which has Angelina Jolie virtually naked in the movie. If that is what she looks like naked then Brad is one lucky guy.

Had a sudden urge to watch Million Dollar Baby after being reminded of the title. Last time I watched it was when it was first released. It's awesome as always.
Watched the Inbetweeners Movie
Loved the series, film was toilet.
Watched Hancock starring Will Smith, not bad, think Will is a very underrated actor.
Lets see...
A good old fashion Orgy - Thought is was pretty funny... I really laughed the whole way through.
In Time - Thought it was a bit short but it was a really good movie overall. I liked the storyline. (Would have been good to add a sex scene with Amanda Seyfried)
Warrior - It was a lot better than I expected it to be. However I have an issue with the final fight scene. I just found it absurd that, that would happen. Don't know about the rest of you but I wouldn't go through with it.
Straw Dogs - It was ok, I mean it's worth watching and it's entertaining.
It's Christmas, and I was really tired and dozed for some of it, but Ratatouille.
finally caught The Fighter. Good movie, and really it was obvious why it was about non-Gatti stuff.
His sisters :p
Ratatouille was good, watched Bi-centenial man, jack frost, chronicles of Narnia, and will be watching wizard of oz tonight.Quote:

Noteable NYE movies:
After The Thin Man
Trading Places
Little Cesar
Strange Days
The Roaring Twenties
Some decent flicks
dunno if i said but watched this one a few wks back & it was fkin awesome
Just finished watching 'Flyboys'...looooong movie
If you guys havent seen the movie "Price Of Glory" check it out.. It's one of the best boxing films that you never heard of. I'm telling you that movie is great! It goes into the effects that boxing has on a fighter, his family and what not. It's my favorite boxing movie .. well my fav. movie period lol. Here's the trailer ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKiTC4B8i78
got lethal weapon boxset on blu ray & just watched the original & not seen it for a few yrs & its gotta be one of the best films of the 80's for sure;D
I just watched 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest' and thought it was really good. One thing that struck me was how lax the security was, we really have become a totalitarian world with our security cameras and weaponized staff. You can't even go to school without going through a metal detector and there are these mentalists being able to sneak women into the hospital. But in terms of characters and story alone, I really enjoyed it.
I think it would be fascinating to go into a mental hospital and be fly on the wall for a day, but a day would be quite enough.
Horrible Bosses - Thought it was toilet other than Jennifer Aniston acting naughty.
Bolt - Pixar, Brilliant as always, nuff said.
Rise of the planet of the apes - Caesar rocks but the film meh.
Hang Over 2 - fell aseep through most of it.
Cowboys and Aliens . I actually thought it was pretty good - though maybe thats because I expected it to be complete and utter pants :-\
Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks in the cinema, what has the actor done to himself, he use to be funny.
Yeah it was the remake...Quote:

Armed as in a baton for self defense. Security is security. I am not talking troops with bazooka's. Security was incredibly lax. That kind of thing just couldn't happen today. There are still criminals amongst the patients as in Nicholson's character. As we see, it is easy to get them out of the hospital and easy to smuggle people in. Extremely lax and perhaps a bit unrealistic.Quote:

EST is also extremely harmful too. Memory loss and cognitive damage are common consequences. It is arguably a therapy, but one that perhaps causes a lot more harm than good. And let's not forget how painful the procedure must be. It is no coincidence that you regard what many patients regard as torture as a therapy. It's an extremely controversial practice and it is no coincidence that it is used extremely rarely as compared with the past.

2. That's a better acronym, though research suggests that the majority of patients are against it and most people are against it. Arguably the negatives outweigh the positives too. It is a very controversial method of 'treatment'.
1. Yes and therefore why are you complaining?Quote:

C) It is controversial only in how it's portrayed by Hollywood and in the imaginations of people that do not know about it.
I would ask you to cite your resources, but I doubt they carry more weight than the Mayo Clinic
1. I'm not complaining. I said I thought it was a good film. The security leaps were extremely unrealistic though and it was you that took issue with me pointing it out. You must agree that to breach security as shown in the film is unrealistic. I don't even know why we are debating that. A bit silly. It doesn't detract from the film which is fun (but also really sad).Quote:

2. My arguments are from Wikipedia. They point out the positives and negatives, but the negatives seem to outweigh the positives. I know Wiki is not an ideal source, but that is where I am from. I will concede being wrong on part A as I read it this afternoon and confused the information due to forgetting what I had read. On part B certainly in the past there have been a lot of negatives, clearly as you point out the treatment has evolved.
Admittedly I am not arguing a topic on which I claim to profess any vast knowledge and my own additional knowledge of individuals like Sylvia Plath and Lou Reed who underwent treatment come from biographies I read long ago. I think they quote Plath on Wiki, but I don't remember. They obviously received treatment long ago and Reed certainly did not want to undergo the treatment. His parents made him as they wanted to stop him having homosexual thoughts.
I'm partially right, but I will concede the parts where I'm wrong. I tried clicking your link, but it wasn't working before. It is working now.
Wall Street 2 ........Oliver Stone has a very crooked view of the world.
'The Endurance' a documentary about Earnest Shackleton's expedition to cross Antarctica......fucking hardcore those lads.
Warhorse. Didn't rate it, and the horse annoyed me. First of all he goes into battle against the Germans, loses his rider, who dies. He is then captured by the Germans and changes sides. I know he's just a horse but I found that really annoying. Then he deserts. He gets recaptured and unlike deserting soldiers the Germans don't kill him but give him another chance. Cheeky fucker only deserts again!
So the British get him back and hes reunited with his Forest Gump style original owner. But only after being bought at auction by some weird old French dude. The horse was quite happy to go off with him too. The old man has a change of heart at the last minute and gives him back to the boy who raised him, but quite honestly if I was that kid I'd have told that horse to go fuck himself. No loyalty to anyone whatsoever and just went wherever he was led. Didnt get the film at all.
I can't watch movies about animals....the only way they end are #1 The animal dies or #2 The owner has to give the animal up or let him go....or in the very rare cases #3 The animal is reunited with its owner(s) and in the end of all of them everyone cries.
I can't take it man
I like the ones where the animals die. I can't get emotionally invested in a film about an animal. At the end of the day its just a fucking animal. And its not even really dying, its just a film.Quote:

Did you ever have a dog or anything growing up? I can honestly say that I like almost all dogs better than most people.Quote:

On the whole people suck. If there were more dogs and less humans the world would be a better place. Koreans have got it all wrong. We should be eating humans and not dogs.
The Girl with the dragon tattoo.
Great film very confronting rape scene,horrific I thought. But the movie is 8.8 out 10
