The original thread had reached the posting limit, so it was time to start a new one :)

2 weeks ago, I saw Death Race. The movie had Tyrese and Joan Allen among other stars in it and it wasnt as bad or cliched as i thought it would be. I was expecting some boring retread movie about fast cars and trampy women ala' the last few "Fast and Furious" sequels, but this movie actually had a nice storyline with clever twists and turns and some truly eye popping action sequences.

Joan Allen gets major kudos from me for playing an icy, glamorous, sociopathic, ball busting ice bitch who is the warden of a state of the art maximum security prison and presides over these "death races". Tyrese is so good at being bad and definately plays his role to the utmost.

its a really good movie.
 
my last movie was battle of britain (1969) i watched it two days ago. lots of good action, the dogfight stuff is great looking for the time and it has some great english actors.

looking at the film i think it must have been one of the dog fight films that inspired the editing of a new hope. fast editing and cool radio chatter [inluding "red squadron report in"]
 
Righteous Kill with De Niro and Pacino. good movie, average script but it was really carried by the strength of the two leads.
 
I watched Die Hard again when it was on TNT the other night. It just reminded me that Alan Rickman is an acting god, and that they should have resurrected him for every single one of the sequels.
 
I just re-watched Black Hawk Down. I read the book recently and wanted to see how close it followed the actual events. Pretty close actually, but the book offered more details about the men, their training, their injuries, and the aftermath.
I also recently saw Deception with Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman, and Michelle Williams. It was a pretty good combination of thriller/drama with a little sex thrown in for good measure.
 
Tropic Thunder: The movie was okay, and there were some definite funny parts, but I have to say Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise totally made this movie for me. They were hysterical in it.

House Bunny: One word: Lame. :rolleyes:
 
I saw Wanted and this movie rocked! I'm glad I bought it on DVD. The action sequences were intense and thrilling. But the main protagonist is such a little bitch and he's not exactly pretty to look at lol. I believe he was picked because he was the runt of the litter. Either way I watched this twice because I really enjoyed the plot, twists, and surprises. I also really liked
how Fox died in the end. That was AWESOME how she honored the code by killing the others and herself. While I hate when characters die I thought her death sequence rocked for a character.

I also saw Get Smart which I thought was funny. I never saw the television show. But this movie had me laughing so hard lol. One of my favorite scenes was the mother driving with her son in the backseat. "Mom! Mom! Look!" His mom's on the phone, "Charlie! Charlie! Charlie! Don't you see how annoying that is!" LOL! I thought that was great. This movie pokes fun at the James Bond films which I loved. It's a funny movie so I enjoyed it.

Finally, I saw Hancock, this movie was different. Will Smith did a great job in it. I liked the twist of plot in the middle of the film and at the end. I did feel sorry for him a few times. It was a different movie I felt and entertaining. It wasn't great but it wasn't awful.
 
^^ My favorite scene in Get Smart was when they were speeding through the golf course and crashed into the swordfish. And Steve Carrel's character was like "Are you thinking what i'm thinking?" And Alan Arkin's character was like "If you're thinking: 'holy shit! holy shit! I almost got impaled by a swordfish' then yes" or something along those lines. I couldn't stop laughing at the way he said that.

LOL! That was a good scene too! They had a few great scenes in the movie that I loved.

I liked the part where Steve's character was walking through the room and he touches the beads and they all fall to the floor loudly. So he steps away to explore the room when the men come in and fall on them and he goes, "I did that!" :hehe2:
 
"An American Haunting" with Sissy Spacek and Donald Sutherland. I'll watch ANYTHING starring Sissy ("Carrie") Spacek, and while this movie was dark, and indeed haunting...it was also based on true events that took place in 19th century america in TENNESSEE of all places. Sad to say that those events involved a father doing something UNTHINKABLE to his daughter :rolleyes:
 
Just watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" really enjoyable movie. Not the ideal Valentine day treat but i enjoyed the movie none the less.
 
Just watched the new Wonder Woman animated feature, its not bad, has a few moments where the story could have been tweaked but its still a strong movie to lead off for the DC animateds. 3.5 out 5
 
Last movie I saw at the theater was "Paul Blart: Mall Cop"... .it was decent. I don't really go into such things with high expectations, but the movie was slightly entertaining I do have to at least give it that much.
 
They filmed that at the mall by where I live lol - I remember seeing the signs for filming lol

I just got back from Watchmen. Liked it - but it was different than I expected.
 
I too last saw Watchmen. Damn that movie is looooooooong! I liked it regardless, some of the changes that were made, worked for the film. Overall they stayed true to the graphic novel, though.
 
Australia - This was one long ass movie. I liked the last the last 45 minutes of it, but besides that I thought it was way too drawn out. I wouldn't watch it again, even though Hugh Jackman was DAMN FINE in it. With his thick Australian accent...*drool* now that's the type of man I need to be with. :D
 
I saw that in the theater and I really liked it...despite Nicole Kidman being in it lol

But I do remember thinking it was like 2 movies put together.
 
Had another double feature day, RocknRolla a very very nice crime drama thaat i enjoyed and Dead Like Me: Life After Death a finale to the short lived but enjoyable tv series. Both big recommends in my book
