| Clint Eastwood has always been a bad ass and I love Gran Torino it is awesome because it is filmed in my state woot lol |
| Stay thirsty, my friends. |
| Just watched these: W.: I found it to be quite boring. I really wanted to like it, but it just moved too slow for me. RocknRolla: Awesome, but I was drinking when I watched it, so I don't remember too much other than it made me laugh. Uzumaki: WORST ADAPTATION EVER. Old Boy: It was good, but I still prefer the manga (heresy, I know...) Pinapple Express: One of the best stoner movies I've seen. Love Seth Rogen! |

And guess who the star will be if he does it? Will Smith, I'm sorry but I cannot see a good American rendition of Old Boy, espiecially if that redition has Will Smith playing that main character. Can I get a hell no? |
 |
| Hell fucking no. When did this rumor start flying around? I still need to read the manga sometime. I saw Uzumaki mentioned above. I hated that movie. Still need to read that manga though too. |

I know its gonna be crap, and probably won't even get made, but I love Will Smith, so I'd end up paying cash money to see it in theaters. |

Andyroo said: Hell fucking no. When did this rumor start flying around? I still need to read the manga sometime. The rumor isn't much of a rumor, it has actually been confirmed by both Will Smith and Steven Spielberg. I personally hope that they don't get the liscense but saying how big-name they are, they probably will. Anyway, it appeared sometime around July this year and although I haven't seen anymore news on it, it's safe to bet that it's in pre-production right now. |

| they said it will be more based on the manga then the movie |

| Just watched Dead Man, mid 90's black and white western by Jim Jarmusch starring Johnny Depp. If you're looking for a film with great cinematography this is the go, a simply beautiful shot of Depp spooning a dead faun in there(watch the film :P), but seriously, some well thought out shots. My favorite performances of the film where definitely Billy Bob Thornton, Iggy Pop and this other guy who I've seen in other films but can't remember his name, anyway their role as a wandering insane/moronic trio is gold, if a little short lived. Very good watch, with one of the most compelling arguments for taking up smoking I've heard, or to at least carry tobacco around with you at all times when traveling. |
| Takashi Miike's Black Society Trilogy A set of three standalone movies directed by Miike, all involving yakuza/triad trouble, family, and alienation. -Shinjuku Triad Society Cool movie. Stylish with plenty of action. -Rainy Dog Really sad, especially the ending. I found it a bit unnecessary, although I think some of the last lines were referenced in Kill Bill. Loved the rain and the awkward sort of family formed by the characters. Sho Aikawa rules. -Ley Lines My favorite of the three. It moved me the most emotionally. Also really sad, but with a lesser degree of utter depression that didn't suffocate me. Ending was excellent. |
| Sukiyaki Western Django Would have been awesome if it were in Japanese. I don't know where the decision to make the entire Japanese cast speak in "Engrish" came from. The acting noticeably suffered and it was a major distraction. This one flaw alone ruined the movie for me. I liked the guns and swords and action and odd visual style and Quentin Tarantino's appearance, but this all went to waste. |
| during the past two weeks: Palermo Shooting 8/10 latest Win Wanders movie, odd movie that is... Slumdog Millionaire 9/10 great movie, must see Coffee and Cigarettes 8/10 collection of black and white sketches, where the actors play themselves. Vals Im Bashir 8/10 this is a movie impossible without animation as the final 5 minutes prove it. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 9/10 great directing and acting with original story, although the movie is extremely heavy. |
| Appleseed Ex Machina: It was pretty good. If you liked 2004, you would like this. 7/10. |
Andyroo said: Sukiyaki Western Django I saw a trailer for this months ago. Nice to know its out now! Last weekend I saw: Watchmen, which was good even with the deviations from the GN. It was kind of akward going with my bf though. Everytime Dr. Manhattan came on screen, he just gave me this look like "How much penis is in this movie?!"-- 8/10 Eagle Eye, which could have been good if they didn't have such a retarded twist...7/10 |

| Burn After Reading- I didn't like it. It was fine up until the last 30 mins or so, then it just got bad. 2/5. Rocknrolla- A little slow at first, but then it picks up. It was funny at parts and entertaining. 4/5. The Big Lebowski- The last 30 mins were funny and there was a funny part in the beginning. Other than that, I didn't like the film much. 2.5/5. |
| Batmanfreak...why? Burn After Reading and The Big Lebowski were pieces of such genius comedy, an unpredictability that always tickled! |
Milk-plus__ said: Batmanfreak...why? Burn After Reading and The Big Lebowski were pieces of such genius comedy, an unpredictability that always tickled! I just don't like that type of comedy I guess. Teh Big Lebowski was just weird, not weird funny, just weird. And I hated the ending for Burn After Reading, I though it sucked hardcore. |
| BAR was kind of limp dick'd. And I agree about the ending. Lebowski was classic cinema. A clever twist on the film noir genre. I just finished Throne of Blood. Which was Kurosawa's adaptation of MacBeth. I went in with high expectations since Yojimbo was so badass and MacBeth is my favorite Shakespeare play. For the most part it met my expectations. Mifune was pretty good in the lead, it's just I've seen him better in other films (he seemed to go through the film with a perma scowl). The direction was faultless, some scenes were just awe inspiring. The change at the end from the source material was okay with and I thought worked very well. Reminded me of Scarface. If you're a MacBeth or Kurosawa fan check it out. Even if you're not still check it out. |

| Talking about the Dude without me?! I'm disappointed!! anyway Last movie I saw was Felon I really liked that movie, good plot, all actors performed well, I didn't have much expectations of it at first but it amazed me at many parts. Overall great movie. |

| Funny Games Among my favorite horror movies. So direct and disturbing. |
| so I just watched the last hour of catwomen and wow it is fucking terrible, and not in a funny way it just sucks. |
| Stay thirsty, my friends. |
| Recently watched Casino, damn Joe Pesci is an angry motherfucker (to put it in his terms). I can see why the got him for Home Alone 1 and 2. Classic Scorsese, ol' bobby DNiro is greatness, although he did need to refer to puff the magic dragon and his amazingly trained cat more often. |
| So I just watched Repo! The Genetic Opera and I really liked it 7.5/10 Sweeney Todd was still better tho lol |

Did you watch it online or is it out on DVD now, because if it is, I am sooooo renting it this weekend.

BlindFighter said: so I just watched the last hour of catwomen and wow it is fucking terrible, and not in a funny way it just sucks. lol, I paid to see it in the theater, and you know what? I had fun. I enjoyed it. I hate it now, but it was entertaining for a while. I guess they made it to appeal to the weird-cat-ladies in training, because it certainly didn't remind me of the Catwoman I know and love. |

| The Escapist, great film. The cast was superb, with Cox in the lead there's no way it could fail. His acting here is great, and just like in last year's underappreciated Red he utlizes subtle bits of dialogue and low key gestures to reveal the true worth of his character. The prison scenes were reminiscent of Oz, but the characters were unique which helps set it stand apart. By interspersing scenes of the escape with the planning was a stroke of genius and can be greater appreciated at the end reveal which may prompt a second viewing. Observe and Report was pretty damn funny and pretty damn dark. Never been a fan of Rogen (only seen him in one movie), but here he adopts a cold crazed edge that is not seen in most comedies. Definetly a memorable performance that'll stick with the viewer. There is a lot of violence and penis, but there ain't nothing wrong with that. Props to going all out. |

| Ha, saw kung fu dunk. Don't bother (although some parts work well). Watch Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer or (even better) King of Beggars instead. Also watched Repo: the genetic opera, mixed feelings. I'll have to re-watch it, because I'm still a little skeptical on musicals...but it was still kinda enjoyable, despite the characters being so standard; father tries to protect daughter who's 'sick', a 'friendly' uncle who wants to set her free, siblings quarreling over a sizable inheritance, a random guy who knows the evil world and revels in it. Some sorrow, some death, a bit of black humor. Give it a go I suppose. |

| I last saw Dragonball Evolution. Don't worry, I didn't pay for it. In all seriousness, it's an okay movie. It does a great job of creatively butchering the story we all know so well.... but it does a great job at it. To be honest, if you knew nothing about Dragonball and you went and watched the movie, you'd probably enjoy it a good bit. But everybody knows Dragonball, so the fact that the story isn't the same highly disturbs most fans. At the same time, though, I'm someone who can find something good to say about any movie. And there's truth enough in that, isn't it? You can always find something done right in any movie, no matter how bad. |
| I watched DBE a little bit ago. I did pay for it actually. It was okay. I didn't like it but I didn't really like it as well. I'm not mad that I paid for it either. I give it a 6/10. |
| I rarely ever pay for movies. The benefit of having connections. |

| I just recently saw the new Fast and Furious movie. I don't know if anyone else saw it yet, but I enjoyed it a lot. It was great seeing Paul Walker and Vin Diesel again, but I have to say that I still really like Tokyo Drift the best out of all of the Fast and Furious movies still. Of course the cars were as hot as hell. Oh man, I love those cars... |

| The cars are the real draw to the F&F series. And the women, as of Tokyo Drift. FaF relied a little too heavily on CG, as did 2F2F, but it was a nice movie that tied the whole series together. |

| Oh, so I saw this when it first came out...but did anyone else think that Gran Turino was fucking AWESOME!? Omg, it just brought me back to Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry days. He was amazing!! And that boy that befriends him in the movie was really good to. It was so hilarious. |

| Cannibal Holocaust Not sure what I think about it yet. Sure was gruesome. It was sick, deprived, and tasteless, but I respect that it shows such extremities. |
| Cannibal Holocaust was crazy. What they did to the Giant Turtle made me sick. Never gonna watch that movie again. And Gran Torino was fucking kickass! The actor playing the boy sucked, but the girl playing his sister gave a much better performance. |

| Gran Torino was an amazing movie. I saw it on consecutive days, and would still go to see it now, no problem. |
| Finally saw Slumdog Millionaire, gold. Couldn't recommend it more highly, but I'm pretty sure I'm the last guy to see it anyway |
| I've never been a big fan of Peter Sellers, outside of Dr. Strangelove most of his movies haven't interested me. Today, however, I saw Being There which has given me newfound respect for the actor. In a wonderfully bland performance, Sellers is funnier than in any of his Pink Panther movies. I also loved Being There for how it poked fun at he stupidity of society. Great film. |

| Crank: High Voltage ... wow. They took everything in the first movie and totally one-upped it. Everything is to the extreme and I'm fairly sure that when Jason Stathum isn't knocked out, which is only the first few minutes of the movie, he is constantly moving nonstop. It's actually pretty ridiculous but well worth paying for if you enjoyed the first one or action movies in general. And the fact that this is one action movie that doesn't take itself seriously at all helps, because if it did try to be serious it would probably suck. I gave it an 8/10 just for the sheer fun of it. |

| Saw X-Men Origins on opening day. Pretty much what I expected.. not to much of a story.. but watching Hugh Jackman all buffed up made up for that xD some of the fight scenes were pretty good to |
   |
| I thought Crank 2 was awful awesome. |
