A Place for Movie Lovers

[CrazyCop]

Well.......I think the title is self-explainitory. What should be the first movie disscussed?

[ange_r]

i'm ashamed to admit that i watched date movie and big momma's house 2 this weekend. date movie was a big disappointment. i was expecting some amazing combination of all my favorite romantic comedies, but instead it was a bunch of lame jokes made into a movie. fortunately, i got all the references which made me proud that i knew which movie they were all from.
big momma's house 2 reminded me a lot of the pacifier with vin diesel. actually, now that i think about it, it was the exact same plot line. but anyways, it had the typical jokes that you would expect from martin lawrence. oh well.

[ange_r]

I just finished watching a little indie film called One Last Thing.... I really enjoyed the movie. The story follows a dying 16 year old and his last wish is to spend a day with a model that he's in love with. It's a little predictable and unrealistic, but hey, that's what movies are for. Maybe it's because of the similarity of age or because he was in love with a model, but I felt like I could relate to him. That's the beauty of movies; they're able to make our wishes come true if only for just two hours.

[CrazyCop]

So I finally watched: Full Metal Jacket. It was a pretty good movie, lots of good jokes and situations. I do think that the best part of the whole movie is Boot Camp. lol

[ange_r]

I just watched X-Men the Last Stand. After waiting two years after X2, I was full of anticipation and had huge expectations. I knew that Bryan Singer had left to takeover Superman, so I was a little wary because the new director was Brett Ratner. After watching it, I was extremely mad because it wasn't accurate to the comics. I'm not a huge comic book nerd, but I know the basics from cartoons and such. However, when I got home, I checked forums to see if others felt the same way I did. I was suprised that they said *SPOILER* some of the characters died and apparently come back to life in the comic books. So maybe Ratner wasn't too far off? I don't know*END SPOILER* Now I'm torn as to whether I like the movie or not. I thought it was inaccurate, but maybe it wasn't. I don't know. Anyways, if you're not into comic books that much, I'm sure you will enjoy the movie. It was entertaining and unpredictable but like I said, inaccurate.

[CrazyCop]

I know how you feel Ange r,

I am a HUGE Silent Hill fan. I went and saw the movie premiere night, and loved it. The ending was a typical SH type ending, but since it was different from the game, I know that the SH3 game plot can't happen in a sequel. lol

So I finally watched: Full Metal Jacket. It was a pretty good movie, lots of good jokes and situations. I do think that the best part of the whole movie is Boot Camp. lolI love that movie! Lee Ermy is great as Drill Sergeant.
"What's your name scumbag?"
"Sir Private Brown, Sir!"
"Bullshit! I don't like that name! From now on you're Private Snowball! Do you like that name?"
"Sir yes, Sir!"

"HOW TALL ARE YOU?"
"5 FOOT 9, SIR!"
"Jesus H. Christ! I DIDN'T KNOW THEY STACKED SHIT THAT HIGH!"

[Grant]

LOL.........Your right. Ermy is AWESOME!!!!!

"HOW TALL ARE YOU?"
"5 FOOT 9, SIR!"
"Jesus H. Christ! I DIDN'T KNOW THEY STACKED SHIT THAT HIGH!" LMAO! :icon_lol:
I had a Full Metal Jacket soundboard at one point.. That was brilliant, full of quotes from the film.
I think i got it from ebaums world. (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/)

Hey Angela,

I've never seen the 2 previous films, so I had no idea what to expect. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! Even with Halle's horrible wig, it was still da bomb! :) But, I was literally glued to the screen the entire time. I thought it was awesome...I'll go see it again, and now I wanna see the first two films.

The first two are excellent. I loved everything about them--the story line, the director, and the actors. You should definitely watch them if you get a chance.

I'm not saying X3 was bad because it's not. It's a great story and really unpredictable, but as a fan of X-Men, it surprised me. I loved it as a movie, but as an interpretation of the comics.... I don't know.

[stacia]

I know Joseph will probably go see this! I will too...I love (and own) the Originals. I think it is one of THE best scary movies ever made. For those here who love to be scared, who will go see it? I'll buy the popcorn!

Mmmm, popcorn...LOL.

Sorry.

lol, I need to see the original still. It is at the top of my list, though.

[ange_r]

I just found a new movie to add to my list of favorites. It's called Imagine Me & You and it's a British film, and I guess if you had to label it, you could call it a "lesbian" movie. I've been dying to see it ever since it came out in theaters back in January but I never had the chance to because it was a limited release.
The two leading ladies are Piper Perabo and Lena Headey and both do an excellent job; their on-screen chemistry is great. Piper's character Rachel marries Hector, but at her wedding she meets Luce (Lena Headey) who is the florist. That's where the movie starts. It deals a lot with common emotions and questions of what one would do in a situation like that.
I really really enjoyed this movie. It left me with a warm feeling, and it was witty as well. Lastly, it gives you hope and belief that "love at first sight" really does exist. I recommend it.

[CrazyCop]

This is a little late to put in, but I watched The Devil's Rejects a couple of weeks ago. If you are into the real violence and gore stuff, its the movie for you.

Stacia, you can tell Sandra that she is forbidden to watch it!!!!!! LOL

[ange_r]

I'm finally on summer vacation so expect this thread to be updated a lot more often.

First movie I saw was Eight Below with Paul Walker. Aside from the fact that he's eye candy, I enjoyed the movie. It wasn't a typical Disney film and I was surprised that they included some scenes which I thought little kids would be scared of (some blood and hunting from the dogs). It was a little too long, but the scenes with the dogs were really entertaining. The dogs did an excellent job acting. So basically the story is about Jerry (Paul Walker) having to leave his 8 snow dogs in winter. The rest of the movie follows him as he tries to get back to Antarctica and it follows the dogs as they survive on their own for about 150 days.

Yesterday I saw Cars in theaters. I was reluctant to see it because, unlike other Disney films, these were talking objects, not animals. It was a predictable plot line, but it was cute I guess. Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is the main character and he starts off as an egoist with no friends. It progresses and he finds himself stranded in the middle of a town filled with nobodys who eventually become his friends. It was a good (predictable) ending, but 2 hours was a little too long for an animated film.

Last night I watched Match Point. I don't usually enjoy films by Woody Allen, but I have to admit, this film was amazing. I'm not even going to go into it. Just rent it and watch it because it's that good.

And lastly, I just finished watching Underworld Evolution. The plot was decent, but I have to admit, I have a weak spot for Kate Beckinsale. The good thing is that it had a lot of action scenes--quite bloody though. I don't think I need to go into the story line; it was just the basic "good guy" versus bad guy, and guess who wins.

[Grant]

Thought i'd mention this one..

Has anyone seen a German film called Anatomie? (Anatomy)

Yes, it is a horror film with blood and gore. It focuses around the process of Plastination.
It's an interesting film, to say the least, and i thought it was alright.
I wasn't sure about posting pictures about plastination, so here's a link instead where you can find out about it.
That way, you can choose to view it instead of having to view it.
In a nutshell, what plastination is, it's a form of preservation.
Blood in the body is replaced with a polymer solution and gives it a plastic appearance. If you're unsure, check out the link for more detailed explanations.

[ange_r]

I rewatched Hitch, an all-time favorite of mine. It never gets old, and Kevin James is magnificent in it. Even though it's a romantic comedy, I wouldn't classify it as a chick flick because guys I know have loved it. Definitely watch it if you've never seen it.

Today I watched The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon. I didn't know what to expect, but I found that I really enjoyed the movie. Great acting by all the actors, and the story line was excellent. I wish I could assimilate to different lifestyles that easily. Basically Matt Damon's character, Tom Ripley, takes on the identity of another man and fools everybody around him to believe all his lies and deceptions.

Then I watched Glory Road. Think Remember the Titans + Coach Carter. It takes racism and combines it with the underdog storyline, and we just watch as Coach Haskins (played by Josh Lucas) leads these college kids to the nationals. It was predictable but enjoyable for the most part.

[ange_r]

Alright, so I finally had the chance to see Lord of War and I thought it was pretty good. I think the guys on the forum would really enjoy it. It's a pretty simple story line; it shows the life of an arms dealer and shows the cold, harsh reality of guns and bullets and the lives that are taken away.

Yesterday I saw The Lake House and I loved it. It's a remake of a Korean movie called Il Mare. Basically it's two people living two years apart, connected through a lake house and the mailbox. You sort of have to suspend reality while you watch it, but it's such a cute movie. What I really loved was how everything made sense in the end. I love movies like that; they keep you thinking after the movie ends, and they make you go "oooohhh now I get it."

I just finished watching V for Vendetta, another great movie. The fight scenes are awesome, although there are only about 3 or 4. It's crazy/scary to see how controlling governments can be. The main character refers to himself as V and he fights to overthrow the totalitarian government. He becomes a symbol of freedom and hope to the country. Definitely check it out.

[ange_r]

I think Sandra would love Over the Hedge. It's a really cute animated movie with a lot of good jokes here and there. The voices and animation are superb and the story line is perfect for people of all ages. I also loved the soundtrack because every song was performed by Ben Folds. The story starts off with RJ (voiced by Bruce Willis, Sandra's favorite actor) and he steals food from Vincent, a bear. He gets caught and has a week to get back all the food or else he's dead. So then RJ tricks a group into doing his dirty work and we see how it all unfolds. I also admired the cleverness of the movie because it points out how humans are taking over nature.

[ange_r]

Last night I watched War of the Worlds (the remake) and it wasn't as great as I had hoped it to be. Maybe I had high expectations, but what were they expecting when they paired Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg together? I usually enjoy sci-fi movies, and no doubt the special effects were excellent, but the story wasn't good. I enjoyed the majority of it until the anticlimatic ending. It had most of the right components: invasion by aliens--good, running for your lives--good, special effects--good, main character not fighting back--bad. The movie just sort of ended.

After that I watched Stay which is not for the simple minded. It was a brilliant movie and I'm still thinking about the ending (which always means it's a good movie if it leaves you wondering). It reminded me of Mulholland Drive in the way that you have no idea what's going on during the entire movie until the end and afterwards. I don't want to spoil it, but it's definitely worth watching at least once.

[ange_r]

Last night I watched Two for the Money starring Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino. It was a pretty good movie about the world of gambling. McConaughey's character Brandon rises to the top by advising gamblers on which teams to bet on. Just as he's at his peak, it all comes crashing down. Moral of the story: don't gamble.

Today I watched When a Stranger Calls. It was basically an hour of picking and hanging up the phone, then running from the bad guy. Ah, what do you expect from a PG13 film, anyways?

I rewatched Mr. and Mrs. Smith again, and it's still amazing. I love the witty dialogue as well as the action scenes, not to mention the incredibly attractive actors.

As for tonight, I watched Bicentennial Man starring Robin Williams. I actually really enjoyed it. It was inspired by the same book that I, Robot was inspired by, so there were a few similarities (the 3 laws of robotics, a disfunct robot having human emotions). However, this film wasn't action; it was a simple story of a robot trying to become a human. He lives for 200 years and stays with the Martin family as they grow and die. It really was a heartwarming movie.

Is anyone going to see Superman? There was a premiere here last night at the Palms, with tons of celebs (and some cast members from the film).

I think I might check it out, but it's not at the top of my list...

I saw it on Thursday night in IMAX 3D. It didn't quite live up to my expectations. The story was alright, but I thought the movie was way too long. The actors did a good job though. Brandon Routh made a good Clark Kent. I still wish Bryan Singer (the director) stayed with X-Men 3 instead.

I got up to "the bachelor" part and switched it off forever. I liked the dancing part in the beginning though.

I never finished watching this movie. But House Of A Thousand Corpses freaked me out!

Anyone saw Wolf Creek? The first 45mins are a snooze fest and I was so excited about this movie. I can't stand when they show the best part of slasher flicks in the trailer. :icon_roll

Hostel was one that had me cringing in places I never knew I had! I only took a bottle of water with me when I went to see it. There was one part regarding the girl's eye where I wanted to upchuck my water.

Has that ever happened to anyone? I had food poisoning a few years back and I couldn't even keep water down. It's gross, but it's an interesting internal feeling when you upchuck water. :icon_lol:

One thing I found funny was: The game is suppose to take place in the 70's and the movie is today......but they never changed Cybil's uniform. Thats why she has the tight leather pants :icon_lol:

Damn, she did look good though :D

They've run out of original ideas for years. As far as I know, there's been countless remake for years now. Not saying that they've been adapting T.V. shows, comics and video games on the big screen and spreading movies series. Need names? Well, let's see... Bewitched, The Avengers, Pink Panther, Starsky & Hutch (Bigg Snoop Dogg as Huggy was the best cast for the movie :D, you should check it out), Ocean's Eleven, Inside Man, Die Hard (Bruce Willis is at it again), Rocky, Rambo (Stallone is up too but guess this is old news for you guys), Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford is doing it), Ghost Rider (Nicholas Cage is the badass ghost), Transformers, Daredevil 2, Silent Hill, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Iron Man... Whew!!! I could go on but I guess that's enough for you guys. :) 'Cause if I do, think it would annoy you. ;)

I've highlighted the ones i've seen. Snoop as Huggy Bear was pretty good. :icon_bigg

I've seen most of them. Snoop as Huggy was I guess the best cast because I think he has really putted some credibility to the character. Making Huggy a pimp is great because who knows the streets better than a pimp? Not even a bartender would know as much as a pimp (in the original show, Huggy was a bartender). :D

The worse, for me, is no doubt Street Fighter. It's even worser than Mortal Kombat which is already worse. But Street Fighter for an adaptation... I've never seen an adaptation that bad. :icon_no:

It's even worser than Mortal Kombat which is already worse.

No, Sonya, if i remember right.

You are indeed right. I've just checked it out on IMDB. Talisa Soto was the actress who portrayed Kitana. :)

The first one was kinda like an Australian version of "Dirty Harry"

The second one was more of a "survivial" from the gangs.

Third one was like the second one.....except Lord of the Flies was mixed into the equation. :icon_lol:

Don't worry, you're not the only one. :D I've only seen excerpts on T.V. because when it airs, I always miss the beginning so I don't watch it 'till the end. :)

Its ok Grant http://images6.theimagehosting.com/taetschel.th.gif (http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=taetschel.gif)
I don't see it too.
Thanks guys.. :)
It was filmed in my own country back in the 80's and i haven't even seen the darn thing! Lol

I'm sure you'll have time and occasions to see it in the future. :)

I'm sure you'll have time and occasions to see it in the future. :) Yeah Grant,

Like you could down to the movie rental place and rent it for like.......one dollar for 5 nights....lol :D

[Grant]

Yeah Grant,

Like you could down to the movie rental place and rent it for like.......one dollar for 5 nights....lol :DLol, and it'll be on VHS tape.. :icon_lol:

[A.J. Angel]

Lol, and it'll be on VHS tape.. :icon_lol:

LOL!!! Don't you have DVDs? :confused:

[stacia]

Well, I missed it in the theatres, so I finally rented it last night, and WOW...I was totally captivated for the entire film! This is a GREAT movie, if you haven't seen it. I loved Tilda Swinton as the Ice Queen--she was evil--but she rocked!

A film definitely worth a look. I also rented Final Destination 3. It was actually pretty good, but I like the first two better than this one.

[Grant]

LOL!!! Don't you have DVDs? :confused:Lol! We have dvd's, but the movie's so old, it will most likely be on tape. DVD version would be in shops as a 'Directors cut special anniversary high definition limited platinum edition' :icon_bigg

Hmm... you're right there. But I guess if they do director's cut specials, I'm sure they also do casual DVD editions too. Must check that out.

Okay, so my girlfriend and I are in Blockbuster...I was trying my best to steer away from the "B" section, but low and behold, she found Basic InSTINK 2 (you know how I feel about this..."film.") Okay, so she and I both have the hots for Sharon Stone...I tried to explain to her how horrible the movie was. However, she didn't care because she heard there was a deleted 3-some scene on the DVD.

Anyway, after some coaxing (and light wrestling and tickling), I got Seven (yes, that's her real name) to put the movie down. :) So, we get back to my place, and we downloaded the extra scene, and O...M...G. What a waste of just...everything! It was sooo stupid! Having seen the movie, and can't imagine where they would have put the 3-some! Ah, but Sharon's female lover was HOT! Too bad all of her scenes wound up on the cutting-room floor. Sev was SO glad we didn't rent the movie...she said seeing one "awfully acted, incredibly assinigned" scene was enough.

Okay...it was kinda hot...I mean, it's Sharon! ;) She does plant a nice kiss on the girl, and the girl sucks on Sharon's mellbimbos. :icon_peac

I'm glad to know that I didn't take my time to see the movie then. :icon_bigg Although I have to admit that I'm wondering how the hot scenes were... :confused:

[Trish]

Of course I had to download the scene in question. It's a decent scene. Well, why wouldn't it be? Two hot ladies smoochin!

I don't remember "Katherine" as Sharon Stone portrayed her here. Maybe it was just too short a scene. So now the whole movie is downloading. From the trailer I didn't see anything to grab my interest... yes, not even Sharon Stone, but since I have all this freaking free time, why not, right? I mean, it is Sharon Stone!

I just watched United 93. Man... that was intense. It's terrifying to realize that that's what happened on the hijacked planes.

[stacia]

Hey Joseph, I rented Silent Hill, Inside Man and United 93 last night. Silent Hill? I actually really liked it, and it really freaked me out. I was really hoping that the hot butch cop would survive, but they bbq'd her! I thought it got kinda weird with that religious chick and her cult, though. And WTF happened at the end?! Were Rose and Sharon dead??? I'm confused.

United 93 was incredible! But, I'm wondering how they knew what the passengers did since they all perished. They kicked those terrorist's asses, and I couldn't help thinking if only they had attacked them sooner, maybe they would have been able to take back control of the plane. The film was incredible...very sad and very intense.

Guess I'll watch Inside Man now...

[stacia]

Okay, this film was HORRIBLE, in my opinion. I didn't know that it was a Spike Lee film (I love his work!), but this is by far one of his worst. Talent like Denzel, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster (who was quite sexy in this one) was just totally...wasted.

I'm sad to hear that you didn't like it. :icon_frow I saw it and personnally, although it's not one of Spike Lee's best movie for sure, I think it was a good movie. :icon_yes: It's not a great one but it's well made for me. The actors and actresses looks nice and are talented. And the action was pretty interesting in my opinion. :icon_bigg But since you didn't like it, I would recommend you to see Lee's She Hate Me with Anthony Mackie if you haven't seen it yet. It's a very interesting movie and oh there are some beautiful ladies like Monica Belluci. :icon_drib

Interesting my ass! Dont' watch this film, Stacia. It's a bunch of bullshit! Rich lesbians fucking a man to get pregnant... hello? Buy the sperm if they're so rich. When I realized what was going on, I switched it off.

XOXO;

Maggie Aww, but LSL liked it, so I think you should check it out! LOL. Just kiddin', Firecat. ;)

But yes, I couldn't believe how bad it was...I fast-forwarded through a lot of it, and that ain't good. It just didn't hold my interest, and it was very "choppy." Plus, it was too damn long! Just over 2hours! Poor little Spike...lol

[Trish]

LSL... :icon_lol:

[stacia]

On my days off, I rented V for Vengance, and Stay Alive. V was okay...I thought it was too long. The jury is still out on this one. At parts, I was really interested, and at others, I was wondering why I rented it! lol

Stay Alive was great!!! I didn't expect it to be that good. It was pretty scary. Also, Angelina Jolie's brother was in it (which I didn't know) as the creepy guy who created the video game. God, he is the male version of her. I'd recommend this one for sure if you love scary flicks as much as I do!

[ange_r]

Last night I watched Curious George. It's a cute little movie for kids, and George is definitely the cutest monkey ever. I don't know if older people would enjoy it though, but the soundtrack is amazing.

Tonight I watched Thank You for Smoking, and I thought it was really good. Aaron Eckhart stars as Nick Naylor who talks on behalf of tobacco companies and he's so smooth with words that he can convince people to believe he's always right.

After that, I watched Click starring Adam Sandler. I was expecting a typical Adam Sandler movie, but this one really surprised me. There was a good plot, it was funny, and It's one of those movies that reminds me to slow down and enjoy the good and bad moments of life. Not to mention, Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous as always.

With Halloween coming up, many of us gather 'round the ole telly to watch scary films. What are your favorites? These are the ones that I love to freak out on:

1. Halloween (the first one only). One of THE best horror movies EVER made.

2. Candyman. I have this movie, have seen it many times, and I STILL can only watch it in the daytime! "Helllllennnnnn...." Oh, HELL to the no!

3. The Omen (first and second films). Not really scary per se, just freaky.

4. Carrie. Piper Laurie is phenomenal as Carrie's religious fanatic mother!

5. A Nigthmare on Elm Street (volumes 1 and 3, Dream Warriors).

6. The Exorcist. It was a film that was ahead of its time back then, but doesn't scare me so much now.

7. Children of the Corn. Freaky kids!!!

8. The Brood. More freaky kids!!!

9. Hellraiser. A strange but freaky film.

10. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I've seen both, and like the re-make much better. The only thing that kept me from peeing in my pants from fright was the sight of Jessica Biel in a white tank top and oh-so-tight blue jeans. :icon_drib :icon_drib :icon_drib

I'm trying to think of some more, but I can't think of any more good ones Stacia. You covered the classics.

Hey Babe, the thing I can think to add is Silence of the Lambs... Compared to Hannibal Lector, Freddy Kruger’s a girlie man. :icon_roll :icon_yes:

[stacia]

I'm trying to think of some more, but I can't think of any more good ones Stacia. You covered the classics. Actually, the woman really freaked me out. And, of course, Pinhead!

[stacia]

I went on a dinner/movie date with a buddy of mine. We saw the Guardian with Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher and Sela Ward (for Jeff! lol). It was excellent! Truly the bomb! It was much longer than I thought it would be, but I was interested every single moment! I'd recommend this one for sure.

[stacia]

Hey Babe, the thing I can think to add is Silence of the Lambs... Compared to Hannibal Lector, Freddy Kruger’s a girlie man. :icon_roll :icon_yes: Oh yeah! I LOVE this movie! I own it. Two parts that freak me out: 1. When Hannibal switches places with the ambulance driver, and they find him crucified. 2. When Jodie's in the crazy man's basement (unable to see), and his fingers are reaching out to her head.

But, the sequel, Hannibal? IT SUCKED!!!!

[stacia]

These are Stephen King films...there are two of them, and they're pretty good! Not so much "scary," but I've always found them to be very entertaining!

[stacia]

I'm trying to think of some more, but I can't think of any more good ones Stacia. You covered the classics.

Halloween is one that just gets me every single time, Spidey. It was well-made, well-acted (even by the two kids!), and the suspense was in all the right places. Plus, the music!!! OMG! I actually don't think any scary movie ever made can top the original Halloween.

[stacia]

OMG, how could I forget:

11. The Grudge (great flick!)
12. The Ring (volume one). When the girl comes out of the TV? Holy shit!!! That part had me crawling in the theater!
13. Jeepers Creepers. I LOVED this film until they showed the Creeper's face--he ain't that scary! But, before that--I was totally freaked out by this one. I also liked how it was a brother and sister, and not two horny teens who were dating and bonking all the time. Plus, the Creeper's car horn still freaks me out! Actually, the 2nd J.C. wasn't bad either, but not as good as the first.
14. Rosemary's Baby. Yet another freaky kid! (or, the idea of one, at least). Another film that was way ahead of its time.

[Trish]

I totally agree with you on Jeepers Creepers. That freaked me out until they showed what the Creeper looked like. I still shudder though when all the bodies are pinned to the walls and ceilings. Oy!

What about The Blair Witch Project? That still freaks me out because we never see the damn thing. You conjour up the most scary thing in your mind and I think that adds to the fear, not to mention the theater was packed, it was WAY too hot in there and I had motion sickness watching it. But that's how they failed in Jeepers Creepers, cuz it was your own imagination until they showed him and he literally looked like a human in a halloween mask.

[stacia]

A VERY honorable mention is the "Ginger Snaps" trilogy. Actually, the first film won some awards. It's a story about two sisters (one of them, Katherine Isabelle is quite the hottie) who are obsessed with death, and vow to kill themselves together (I know, kinda morbid! lol). Anyway, all three are very good, but I like the original and the one of the sequels (Ginger Snaps Back) the most. To me, they are definitely worth the look!

[Trish]

Was the third film a prequel or something? That one confused me and I was never able to catch it right from the beginning.

[Wild Honey]

I walked into Wal-Mart today only intending to buy 3 movies. Well, I walked out with 11. LOL.

I just watched Click with Adam Sandler and the lovely Kate Beckinsale. I'd never seen it before, and it was okay. Adam is always funny. And, how hot was Kate in her Pocahantas costume???

Well, more movies to watch...it's gonna be a loooong night...

Aw, I loved Click. It was so much better than the usual Adam Sandler flick because it at least had a moral. And yes, Kate always looks good. The girl who plays their daughter in the future (Katie Cassidy I think) is also really hot.

What else did you buy?

What else did you buy? Yeah, the daughter was way hot. I think she was also in "When A Stranger Calls" as the lead girl's friend.

I also bought:

The Sentinel (well, for my dad)
Halloween
Chronicles of Narnia
Eddie Murphy: Raw
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre--the remake from 2003 (my nephew swiped my original copy lol).
Stay Alive
Hostel

And some classics:
Pretty in Pink
Some Kind of Wonderful
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[CrazyCop]

Hey Stacia,

I haven't seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies yet (Original nor Remake). I am going to rent some movies soon and I wanted to ask you which one is better and if I should see them both. The same goes for The Oman movies (I only saw the first part of the original.....up to when the woman hung herself)

Movies thinking about renting:

Silent Hill (obvious reasons, if you know me, lol)
TCM (both)
The Oman (both)
Holloween (Gotta see that one again)

Thats about all I can think of now

Hey Joe!

Well, both TCM's are really good. I don't really remember the first one, but it is truly a classic horror film. I'd go for the remake because 1. Jessica Biel is in it, and 2. it has a more modern feel than the first. But, on the other hand, that's what makes the first TCM so great...it was made in the 70's, and just has this "gritty" feel to it. Hell, get both!

As for the Omen, go for the original!!!!

I think you should throw "Candyman" on your list as well...have you ever seen that one?

[CrazyCop]

Jessica Biel is in it, and 2. it has a more modern feel than the first. But, on the other hand, that's what makes the first TCM so great...it was made in the 70's, and just has this "gritty" feel to it. Hell, get both!

As for the Omen, go for the original!!!!

I think you should throw "Candyman" on your list as well...have you ever seen that one?
Thanks Stacia,

No......only the second one. So thats a "pants pisser?" lol

[stacia]

Thanks Stacia,

No......only the second one. So thats a "pants pisser?" lol Aw, man, the second one SUCKS! But the first one? It literally scares the living hell outta me. Definitelty check it out. :)

Hostel



I only had a bottle of water with me when I went to see this one and I still felt like throwing up! :icon_yike

[Trish]

Aw, man, the second one SUCKS! But the first one? It literally scares the living hell outta me. Definitelty check it out. :)

Ditto! Tony Todd is perfect in this role. When he showed up on Star Trek: DS9 and Xena, he still freaked me out! :icon_lol:

'The Exorcist' Named Scariest Movie Ever Made

http://images.starpulse.com/AMGPhotos/video/cov120/drv200/v223/v22391vkagh.jpg (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Exorcist,_The/)Horror classic The Exorcist (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Exorcist,_The/) has been named the "Scariest Movie Ever Made" in a new magazine poll. The 1973 film beat Rosemary's Baby (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Rosemary's_Baby/) and The Shining (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Shining,_The/) in the Stuff survey, which appears in the men's magazine's November issue. The top 10 films on the list are: [/URL]
1. [URL="http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Exorcist,_The/"]The Exorcist (http://www.sandrashinelive.com/forum/)
2. Rosemary's Baby (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Rosemary's_Baby/)
3. The Shining (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Shining,_The/)
4. Halloween (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Halloween/)
5. Jaws (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Jaws/)
6. A Nightmare On Elm Street (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Nightmare_on_Elm_Street,_A/)
7. Psycho (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Psycho/)
8. Candyman (http://www.starpulse.com/movie/Candyman/V8015/unknown/)
9. Planet Of The Apes (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Planet_Of_The_Apes/)
10. Alien (http://www.starpulse.com/Movies/Alien/)


But, um...Planet of the Apes and Alien are NOT scary!!! They are among my favorites, though!

[Trish]

Yeah, I don't understand how those 2 made the list at all. Exorcist I saw once and I will NEVER watch that again. Once was one time too many for me. That movie freaked me out then and the mention of it gives me chills. I saw it for the first time Halloween night when I was 16. A bunch of us got together and watched all 3 films in one night. Geezus! I don't think 2 & 3 phased me cuz all I could remember was the first one. Although, the 2nd one was pretty much a repeat of the first one.

I never saw the updated version when it was re-released nor did I see the prequel. And I have no desire to watch either of them. :icon_yike I'd replace Alien and POTA with maybe Poltergist and The Omen (the original).

Looking back at the list. To me, "scary" is more of a horror movie, something that makes me jump in my seat. Some of the films mentioned are scary, but in a psychological way (like The Shining and Psycho). That's not to say that it takes away from their splendor, but they're just not scary to me.

BTW, I just read that Naomi Watts just won the lead in the re-make of "The Birds". She'll be great in that! I really like her a lot--she's soooo under-rated! :icon_evil

[CrazyCop]

So I rented:
Candyman
Rosemary's Baby
The Omen (Remake)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake)
Black Dahlia
Silent Hill

Candyman was an intersting movie, Stacia. I didn't know it took place in Chicago. I also didn't tell me Virginia Madsen was in that movie!!!!!!! (She was FINE back then :icon_drib )

Heeeeeellllllllllleeeeeennnn

Way back in highschool, we had a discussion about this in my Creative Writing class where we watched The Shining and my teacher wanted to know why certain people didn't find it scary. I find it very interesting that many people don't think psychological horrors aren't scary when those are the ones that are closer to reality. I guess people just like to be scared and when there is a method to madness, it's just not that interesting or scary? The Shining scared the begezus outta me. Psycho? Lets just say I NEVER sit in my mom's rocking chair!

[Grant]

Getting away from the 'scary movie' theme for a sec,

I watched The Jackal tonight. Bruce Willis plays a hitman. I've seen it a few times before, good movie.

On another note, Scary Movie 2 was on tonight. No explanation needed. :D

Hey Stacia,

Is Rosemary's Baby any good? I need to watch it sometime this week. (Is Jacob's Ladder any good either? I need to watch that one if its good too)

[stacia]

Hey Stacia,

Is Rosemary's Baby any good? I need to watch it sometime this week. (Is Jacob's Ladder any good either? I need to watch that one if its good too)

Hey Joe!

I've never seen Jacob's Ladder, actually, so I can't help you with that one, sorry. :)

However, Rosemary's Baby is VERY good. Just remember it was made back in the 60's, and film-making was very different back then. I definitely recommend seeing this one! The ending is one of the best in horror/suspense film history!

[Grant]

Well i went to see Saw 3 tonight.
This one is some nasty shit, it's pretty messed up. There was one part of the film where i just couldn't look at the screen.
And never have i been to a movie and heard the ENTIRE audience all go "Oooooh" and cringe at the same time. That happened a number of times during the film.
I think the directors were trying to gross us out as much as possible within the first half hour.


Joe, i noticed you saw it too.
What did you think of it? Did you like it?

[stacia]

I loooove not having to go to work till late in the afternoon, because it allows me to be my true night-owl self!

So, tonight, I took an hour-long drive, then stopped to rent: Little Man, Saw II (Saw was all rented out), and Hostel. I haven't seen any of these films, so it's just me, some nacho cheese sunflower seeds, and my flicks! :icon_peac

[stacia]

I have SO many, but at the top of my list are:

Tootsie
Aliens (with the little girl, Newt)
King Kong (2005)
Schindler's List
Any of the Lord of the Rings
Halloween
Carrie
D.E.B.S.

And so many more!

[stacia]

For sure. I love that big-ass rifle he has.

On another note, Scary Movie 2 was on tonight. No explanation needed. :D LOL. "Ooh, that's heavy! I'll have to use my strong hand..." Or, "I don't know what the hell that is, but I'll lick it anyway."

OMG, Chris Elliot was SO freakin hilarious in this one. I die laughing every single time when he's humping the turkey! LMAO.

I have not met too many people who liked the Saw movies. I think they were great. I would really like to see Saw III.

[stacia]

I have not met too many people who liked the Saw movies. I think they were great. I would really like to see Saw III. OMG, I loved, loved, LOVED Saw II! There was not a single moment when I was uninterested. The very beginning kinda grossed me out, cause I really thought that dude was going to get the key!

So, is Donnie Wahlberg in the 3rd one?

I have not met too many people who liked the Saw movies. I think they were great. I would really like to see Saw III.Well, Saw and Saw 2 were good. I didn't mind them. Saw 3 just had some parts that didn't sit well with me. Most of the film was good, but there was just a few scenes where it's like "Did they really have to show that?.."

[stacia]

Yeah! Go the night-owls! :icon_peac Goooooooooo team!

As the title suggests, i saw Jackass Number Two tonight.
Very funny movie. You're always laughing at something. Don't see it if you're easily offended. The scene at the end of the film is good, and some of the scenes that roll during the end credits were better than the movie itself.


Uh-oh. Sounds like a film you can't really watch while eating! Thanks for the warning, my SSD. ;)No worries. If you do eat before hand, don't expect it to stay put for long. And sit near a door.

HAHAHAHA, I am this is true ;)

So which one was your favorite? Personally, I wasn't expecting Jason X to win (then again, I never saw the movie ;) )

[stacia]

HAHAHAHA, I am this is true ;)

So which one was your favorite? Personally, I wasn't expecting Jason X to win (then again, I never saw the movie ;) ) Yeah, that one sucked compared to the rest of 'em. The one that made me cringe the most was the drilling one! But, the exploding head was quite grand as well.

[stacia]

K, I'm bout' ta watch "Hostel" now. I'll tell you all my thoughts afterwards. :icon_yes:

[A.J. Angel]

K, I'm bout' ta watch "Hostel" now. I'll tell you all my thoughts afterwards. :icon_yes:

I have seen it. I have liked it. And now, I'm waiting for the second movie to come out. In between, I have to go and see Saw III that's coming out next week over here. :icon_yes:

[stacia]

Okay, so Hostel wasn't really what I thought it would be. I had no idea there'd be so much...well, tits and ass! But, those girls in the film (esp. the brunette) were HOT. Anyway, I thought the plot was good, and I was interested in the film almost the entire time. The eyeball cutting scene was the one that really made me cringe, but it was great! I really enjoyed this one, but I liked Saw II a little better.

[ange_r]

I watched Accepted last night. It wasn't as funny as I was hoping... but it was decent. There's no way he could create his own college in a matter of days and then run it, but it would be pretty amazing if we could create our own curriculum... I think the only reason I watched it was so I would feel better about the whole college process.

[ange_r]

I finally saw The Da Vinci Codelast night. I didn't read the book, so I don't know if it was accurate or not, but I really enjoyed the movie. It's like one of those "puzzle" type of movies where one clue leads to the next. The directing was superb as well.

[stacia]

Tonight, I rented An Inconvenient Truth, The Devil's Rejects and John Tucker Must Die. AIT was kind of boring to me, but it has a great message. I fast-forwarded through parts of it, though.

Joe, this is for you--if I know you like I think I do, you will LOVE The Devil's Rejects! It's a Rob Zombie film, and a sequel to "House of 1,000 Corpses). It's got a 70's, dusty Texas back-road town feel to it, which I loved. It's VERY demented and disturbing (some parts were painful to watch as a woman), but I know there are sick folks out there who do these kinds of things. An added bonus--Zombie's wife (Sheri Moon Zombie) is one of the 3 criminals, and she is SMOKIN' HOT. I mean, this girl is on FI-YAH!

I'm right in the middle of John Tucker Must Die. It's pretty funny, and Jesse Metcalfe is just so cute!

[stacia]

Eh, on second thought, John Tucker Must Die wasn't all that great...

[ange_r]

Eh, on second thought, John Tucker Must Die wasn't all that great...
It has a really good soundtrack though... I think watching movies like that depends on your mood. If you're in the mood for a pointless, teen "comedy," then it's the perfect movie to watch.

[stacia]

If you're in the mood for a pointless, teen "comedy," then it's the perfect movie to watch.:agree: It did have some funny parts, though. I thought Jenny McCarthy was great (and hot) as Kate's mom. Well, the other girls thought she was hot, too. lol

Who's on the soundtrack?

:agree: It did have some funny parts, though. I thought Jenny McCarthy was great (and hot) as Kate's mom. Well, the other girls thought she was hot, too. lol

Oh yeah, the cast of girls were definitely hot. Brittany Snow is really cute.

The soundtrack has a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" by Quietdrive and a cover of Modest Mouse's "Float On" by Ben Lee. It's mostly alternative I think.

Yeah, Brittany is cute, she looks like she should be in the Olsen family, actually. I'm more of a Sophie Bush kinda girl. I didn't think Ashanti looked all that great, though--she had some serious bags under her eyes. She needed to slap some cucumbers on them! :lol:

[stacia]

Last night, I rented a movie I've never heard of called Pulse, which stars Kristen Bell (from Veronica Mars), Ian Somerhalder (from LOST), and singer Christina Milian. It was about ghosts who were able to wreak havoc by getting to us through technology (computers, cell phones, etc). If they entered your soul, you lost the will to live, so the town was going through an epidemic of suicides.

The movie was just okay for me (though I never realized how HOT Kristen is!) It could have been SOOOO much better, though! But, for a horror flick, the acting was quite good, and it wasn't gory.

[stacia]

Last night, I also rented Lady in the Water. I enjoyed this one. :)

[stacia]

Okay, so I've been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD, because I've had several people tell me it's a great film. Honestly, at the beginning, I was kinda bored, but I stuck it out. I'm glad I did, because OMG, this is one of the best scary movies I've seen in a LONG time. Before I watched it, I had no idea what the plot was about, so I was very surprised. This movie scared the living HELL out of me (a feeling I love!!!) Definitely check this one out if you like to be scared!

[ange_r]

I just watched World Trade Center. Unlike United 93, it follows the aftermath of the attack--specifically two Port Authority cops who were trapped under the rubble and were rescued. It's a powerful movie and it makes you appreciate policemen, firemen, and paramedics so much more. It was a great look at how America came together to help one another.

[stacia]

I remember when I saw this film by Catherine Briellat with my ex a few years ago, she and I left the theater with our mouths open in shock. This is a French film that I've been trying to find for years. I finally found it on Amazon, and it arrived yesterday. Yes, it's still shocking (but excellent!) It follows Anais (a frumpy, overweight 12-year old), her drop-dead gorgeous older sister, and their parents on vacation. The relationship is really about the jealousy Anais feels towards her sister--she is the pride of the family, has style, and gets all the guys and the attention. Her sister (Elena) truly cares for and loves Anais, but she also teases her, and belittles her for eating certain things, telling her she doesn't need them (as her parents do).

Then Elena meets a smooth-talking Italian guy with a one-track mind. The asswipe tells her that anal sex is not really cause for her losing her virginity, and she gives in...while Anais pretends to sleep in the same room, she can't control her sobbing...it was so sad! Um, and this is the first time that I've ever seen a mainstream film show a guy with a hard-on (twice, actually). I won't spoil the ending, but it is VERY shocking and violent. This one is definitely worth checking out.

[Trish]

Yeah, Brittany is cute, she looks like she should be in the Olsen family, actually. I'm more of a Sophie Bush kinda girl. I didn't think Ashanti looked all that great, though--she had some serious bags under her eyes. She needed to slap some cucumbers on them! :lol:

Is this the one with a whole bunch of chicks in a cave or something?

[stacia]

Is this the one with a whole bunch of chicks in a cave or something? Yup, that'd be the one, T. :) Have you seen it? I love how not only are they trying to survive the cannibals in the cave, but how the friendships between the 6 women are tested or reinforced, broken and betrayed.

[stacia]

[stacia]

[stacia]

So, the movies I rented this week are: The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Hills have Eyes and The Illusionist. I have yet to watch The Illusionist, but I will today.

I LOVED the Exorcism of Emily Rose!!! It wasn't just a true story about a girl possessed by six demons (including Lucifer himself), but I loved how it was also about the trial against the Priest who performed the exorcism (that failed), and was charged with her murder. Laura Linney and Campbell Scott were excellent as they defense/prosecution. This movie was both freaky and intelligent; and, to think that it really happened just creeps me out.

The Hills Have Eyes (unrated version) was pretty good, but at times I thought it was kind of hokey. Still enjoyed it, though. :)

[CrazyCop]

I saw the movie Stephen King's: Storm of the Century last night. It was a pretty good. Have any of you guys seen it?

[Syllypryde]

Yup, that'd be the one, T. :) Have you seen it? I love how not only are they trying to survive the cannibals in the cave, but how the friendships between the 6 women are tested or reinforced, broken and betrayed.

I have a movie like that on DVD. The girls are trapped and eat each other like cannibals in order to survive. Except there is no cave!!! :mbounc:

[Syllypryde]

Nope, I haven't seen it. Should I put it on my list? I've downloaded something like 60 movies and I only just watched one of them - John Tucker Must Die.

Why do you want to kill John Tucker? What the hell has he even done to you? It sounds to me like someone needs anger management classes! :wfight:

[Syllypryde]

I have not seen it. But I am sure a friend of mine has definitely read the book. He is a big Stephen King fan.

I was at a friends place tonight and we watched Dumb & Dumber on dvd.

One word: Classic! :icon_peac

[Wild Honey]

OMG we watched Scary Movie 4 last week.:rofl2: :mbounc: It was hysterical.:bee:

[ange_r]

I went on a dinner/movie date with a buddy of mine. We saw the Guardian with Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher and Sela Ward (for Jeff! lol). It was excellent! Truly the bomb! It was much longer than I thought it would be, but I was interested every single moment! I'd recommend this one for sure.
I just watched it tonight and I thought it was excellent. I agree that it was long, but the story was good, and it was just a great in-depth look at the US Coast Guard. They continually sacrifice their own lives to save others "so others may live." Great movie.

[Syllypryde]

OMG we watched Scary Movie 4 last week.:rofl2: :mbounc: It was hysterical.:bee:

Did you also see Scary Movie 3? After I watched part 2 I was kind of turned off by this franchise. I just hope Parts 3 & 4 are a lot better.

[Trish]

Eh, on second thought, John Tucker Must Die wasn't all that great...

I was so expecting Sophia Bush to kiss that chick like the kiss from Nip/Tuck. Damn!

[Syllypryde]

I've only seen the first and the fourth but they were both funny.:icon_yes:

[henrietta]

i wanted 2 know if anyone here has seen the french film la moustache? i found the ending to be a bit confusing and would like to see if anyone here understood it - peut-etre cathy or michel, with their french, caught what seems to have alluded me...?

[stacia]

Did you also see Scary Movie 3? After I watched part 2 I was kind of turned off by this franchise. I just hope Parts 3 & 4 are a lot better. They're not, IMO. The Wayans had a fallout with the producers after the 2nd film. They've gone downhill from there. In fact, they SUCK. Again, just my opinion. :)

We finally got around to watching The Illusionist yesterday... Good movie but a little predictable, I knew she Sophie wasn't dead. :D

OMG, I rented two HORRIBLE movies last night, Snakes on a Plane and 5 Girls (the latter was recommended to me by the crazy but cute goth chick @ Blockbuster). I'd never even heard of 5 Girls--now I know why! And, SOAP (lol, "soap"!) was just horrible--it wasn't scary, wasn't funny, just stupid. At least Juliana Marguelies was in it--I've always had a thing for her (it's the green eyes and the dimples). Thank God the films were free rentals!

Anyway, now I'm making up for last night's catastrophe with The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (circa 1978). :)

I saw Snakes on a Plane with my brother. I thought it was hilarious because it was so bad.

[stacia]

So SOAP was bad Stacia.....lol....I didn't see that one coming. :lol: Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Spidey! :) Well, I thought I'd give it a chance, since I love Samuel L.

Since I absolutely loved "The Devil's Rejects," I decided to check out the prequel, House of 1,000 Corpses. This movied pretty much sucked! I admire Rob Zombie's vision, but this flick seriously fell flat for me. The different between the quality of the two films is amazing.

So not even Mrs. Zombie's ass made up for it Stacia? Damn, that movie must have been bad, lol.

Oh, um (hee hee), Sheri's ass made up for it, but ONLY a little. Very little, in fact. The movie reeked.

I also watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning last night. It was pretty good, but it was missing one thing: Jessica Biel! Jordana Brewster is a hottie, but she's not Jessie.

But, I like how it explained some things about the wacky family, so that was cool.

[stacia]

I saw Snakes on a Plane with my brother. I thought it was hilarious because it was so bad. LOL, you're right, LA. That sad thing is, it had the potential to be very good and very scary. :)

OMG, I love the Justice League! It's like the best animated series ever! :) Yesterday, I bought season one of JLU; it's four discs containing 26 episodes altogether. I was watching it until 5 this morning (I had to take a nap in between discs lol). I have one more to watch, so I'll do that today. Season 2 comes out at the end of the month. I'll definitely purchase that one as well.

I didn't know you liked JL Stacia...

I watched the original series myself....but I never got into JLU. Is it better than the 1st?

I LOVE JL! clap_smile Um, I think JLU is a little better, just because it showcases more superheroes than JL does. :)

The Grudge 2---HATED IT!!!! Refund, please!

I had never even heard of the Farce of the Penguins (a VERY naughty take-off of March of the Penguins). Instead of Morgan Freeman narrating, we have Samuel L. Jackson. Instead of going on a trek to find a mate, these birds are going on a trek for some "hot penguin booty"! At times, I was laughing hysterically; other times, I was like, "why did I rent this?" It has tons of people voicing the (real, not animated) penguins: Bob Saget, Christina Applegate, Mo-Nique, Tracy Morgan, Gilbert Gottfried, Jim Belushi, Jason Biggs, John Lovitz, Whoopi Goldberg, John Stamos, the list goes on and on.

Tell me, does Samuel L. Jackson yell the entire time he's narrating? :lol:

Tell me, does Samuel L. Jackson yell the entire time he's narrating? :lol: Well, it's okay...especially if you're drunk and/or looking for something totally silly. And, yes, SLJ does yell some of the time, but he's yelling at the penguins (and they respond back) lol.

There is a hilarious bit with Harvey Fierstein as panda bear "Sheila." The movie cuts to animals in other parts of the world, and his bit had me rolling.

Here, Parker Posey is a woman who is on a quest to have an orgasm (she's never had one). Her husband (Paul Rudd) leaves her because of her "sexual dysfunction," well, and also to screw his student, Mischa Barton (we get to see her boobies in this one, btw :)). Anyway, the movie has its ups and downs--it was just okay for me. Not something I'd buy or watch again, probably.

There are some funny parts, though, especially between Parker and Heather Graham. Heather plays a sex shop clerk, and Parker goes in, and is eyeing this ENORMOUS purple dildo unwrapped and out on display. She grabs it, heads towards the counter, and flops it down--Heather is in shock lol. She can immediately tell that Parker is there not really for the dildo, but for an underlying problem. She asks, "Tell me--sometimes, rarely, or never?" Parker says, "Never." "Sweet Jesus," Heather replies. Nervously, Parker says, "So, how much?" Heather says, "You know, I don't think I can sell this to you in good conscience." Parker looks down at the huge dong and says, "You're right...it's dusty." :lol: Heather also propostions Parker to go in the back room with her (since masturbation isn't the only way to have an orgasm), but she politely declines.

She ends up purchasing a vibrator, then becomes literally addicted to it--so much, that she is unable to have an orgasm with the different men she sleeps with. Then later, she gives Heather a try, but can't reach it with her either. Exhausted, Heather gives up.

The guy who gives it to her? Danny DeVito. Seriously. I mean, come on, now...

I kept passing this movie up each time at Blockbuster, but I got it tonight. It's actually pretty decent. Peter Weller and Bridget Moynahan are on vacation in Africa. Bridget takes the two kids (her stepkids, one of them being the 14 year-old daughter who has serious issues with her) on a daytime safari trip. The guide decides to go "off-off" road, and when the boy needs to "drop the kids off at the pool," they expose themselves to the hungry lions waiting in the bush. Bye-bye guide! The three are now trapped in the car, which is their only protection, but the 2 lions keep coming back--and killing anyone who tries to rescue them.

[Razor]

First off if you're looking for a movie with a serious plot and deep charcter developement this isn't it! If you're looking for a movie that's just fun and that features musical performances from B.B. King, Erykah Badu, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Jimmie Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Issac Hayes, Lou Rawls and at least a dozen other Blues and R&B greats this movie is the bomb.

XOXO;

Sounds a little like Open Water (a surprisingly thought provoking film), only replace the ocean with the veldt, and sharks with big cats... and I'm sure with a happy ending since children are involved, and only a very few mainstream directors dare to show children in jeopardy that end up going to the grave in films, like the great Guillermo del Toro (The Devil's Backbone, Hellboy). Still sounds interesting though.

Speaking of Del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth is a MUST see. But be warned, it's the closest thing to Terry Gilliam's Brazil that any film has ever come with its premise of escaping through the window of your own innerspace when the world around you has murdered you. Absolutely brilliant but bleak.

SCARLETT Johansson is being lined up to play porn sensation Jenna Jameson in a movie about her life story.
The stunning actress has been handpicked by adult movie legend Jameson as her personal choice for the lead in a film adaptation of her book, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale.

Jameson is currently in talks with producers and hopes filming will begin next year.

The X-rated actress told Britain's FHM magazine: "We're looking hopefully at Scarlett Johansson. She's my choice. I think she's beautiful."

Johansson has already vowed to strip off for the cameras if the right role comes along, saying last year: "I'm not opposed to doing nudity - it would just have to be the right project."

There's certainly been plenty of nudity in Jameson's life - the racy star has appeared in about 100 porn films and is one of the highest paid adult actors in the world.

She may be ten years younger than 32-year-old Jameson, but sultry Johansson, 22, already shares the porn queen's sex symbol status.

The Black Dahlia star, who is famed for her curvy figure, was voted Sexiest Woman Alive by readers of American men's magazine Esquire last year.

Both actresses also have trademark blonde hair and are renowned for their glamorous image.

------------------------------------

Hmmm, I really like Scarlett as an actress, I think she's very talented. I wonder if she'll do it? But, I don't know...I always envisioned someone else playing Jenna in her life story...maybe Olivia Wilde or Heather Graham--but, that's just me. :)

I think scarlett is amazing but she has been cast in some really strange roles. Hollywood sees her as a classic leading lady which she isnt he best roles are in "Ghost World" and "Lost in Translation" where she plays cynical slacker types and she has had a string of flops since she changed her image. I think hollywood has got it wrong repackaging her as the next Julia Roberts she should be like a more mainstream Chloe Sevigny.

I rented these flicks last night. I thought Borat was pretty funny, although I REALLY could have done without the really long, naked hairy wrestling men scene! It movie was funnier than I thought it would be. I nearly pissed my pants when Borat went to the etiquette coach and showed her nude photos of her son. And the dookie in a bag scene almost made me fall off the couch! I was ROLLING!!!

The Holiday was cute--I mean, not anything special, just cute. I LOVE Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, and Jude Law was charming as usual. I love Jack Black, but he seemed kind of out of place in this one.

YES Borat. I think it may be the funniest movie I have ever seen. I need to get the DVD to watch the extra 30 minutes of unseen footage. I'm waiting though because I'm wondering if they'll come out with a special edition.

I loved The Holiday. It's just one of those predictable, feel-good chick flicks.

I saw 300 over the weekend. It's definitely a guy movie... but it was well done. It's from the same author as Sin City, so of course there was lots of gore and lots of action. It's a simple story line, so there's not much of a plot...

[Grant]

As the title says, i saw Hot Fuzz tonight.

From the same people that made Shaun of the Dead for those who weren't sure. It was a great movie, very funny. Action, violence, comedy, all good.
And Timothy Dalton was in it, which i didn't know. It was only at the end when i saw his name in the credits. I went "Oh! No way! He was so-and-so. I thought he looked familiar"

Check it out if you haven't already.

Ive been meaning to go and see it for ages now

Im a big Spaced fan anything simon pegg does is a must see if you havnt seen Spaced do it now best sitcom ever.

Bit of trivia Hot fuzz was filmed in Wells which is Britain's smallest city if it didnt have the Cathedral it would be too small to be a town. and its my parents closest city

Tonight, I rented "Cake," starring (and partly produced by) Heather Graham. It also stars Sandra Oh, Sarah Chalke (Scrubs), Taye Diggs and David Sutcliffe. Heather plays Pippa McGee (what a name!), a travel journalist who is a self-admitted "tramp," and totally against the institution of marriage. Her father falls ill, and she must head his magazine--Wedding Bells. She's NOT thrilled. She works with Sutcliffe, and Diggs is a sexy photographer, and Pippa is torn between the two of them. One thing that pisses me off is that still, interracial love scenes are taboo. I know there is a love scene with Heather and Taye, however, it was abruptly cut out, while her love scene with Sutcliffe was shown in its entirety.

Overall, the movie was touted as a "chick-flick," and it sort of was, I guess. Sandra Oh is great, and very funny. Heather Graham, however, finds herself in yet another failing role in another failed film (this one went straight to video, I believe). I await the day that Heather carries a film that is worthy of her talents. "Cake" definitely wasn't it.

I'm with you, Little A. It had the potential to be really good and funny, because the storyline wasn't all that bad. But, I digress...

[stacia]

These were the flicks we rented the other night.

Charlotte's Web is a funny, well-acted (Dakota Fanning is a child genius)well-done remake of the classic cartoon, and Seven and I were both crying like babies when Charlotte dies. :lol: Seven, however, thought that Julia Roberts was a little "bland" as the voice of Charlotte, though.

Blood Diamond was really good, and Leo DiCaprio rocked! Dijmon Honsou is awesome as well.

Black Christmas was both creepy and campy--not too scary, but still a pretty good slasher flick.

She dies?:cry02: Glad I didn't go to that one. Bridge To Terabithia involves death as well. It was horribly sad and depressing.

[IndustrialGrl83]

today i'm gonna go see the Grindhouse double feature.

sooooo excited.
mmm...Rose McGowan

[stacia]

She dies?:cry02: Glad I didn't go to that one. Bridge To Terabithia involves death as well. It was horribly sad and depressing. Uh...yeah...girl, you never saw the original or read the book? :lol:

Yes, she dies after laying her eggs (all 514 of them).

[ange_r]

I just finished watching Notes on a Scandal. I have to say, it's one of the best films I've seen in a long time. Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett give equally powerful performances.
Cate plays Sheba Hart, a new art teacher at the school. An older teacher named Barbara, played by Judi Dench, finds something intriguing about Sheba. They eventually become friends, although Barbara misinterprets their friendship. Soon after, Barbara discovers that Sheba has been having an affair with a 15-year-old student and feels betrayed. From there, the story unravels.

The day before, I watched A Good Year starring Russell Crowe. It's one of those feel-good movies with a predictable ending. Crowe plays Max, an asshole, prick of a stock broker. When his uncle dies, he inherits the estate and immediately wants to sell it. As he spends a few days there, he suddenly "finds himself" and of course, falls in love. It's a good, light movie.

[Wild Honey]

Uh...yeah...girl, you never saw the original or read the book? :lol:

I guess not.:lol: I had no idea. Charlottes Web 2 was good. It had the babies in it ,but I never thought about what had happened to mom.:icon_roll

[IndustrialGrl83]

just wanna say that i seriously recommend Grindhouse.
it kicks ass! :gun_02:

I hear there are rapes in the movie. Do they show the rape or allude to it? As I get older I cannot stomach rape scenes.

But, I like how it explained some things about the wacky family, so that was cool.

I was so routing for Jordana's character too, then in the end I was like "Oh sh*t!" :lol:

Same thing for The Hills Have Eyes 2 - but that movie was kinda gross.

She sho' did! Remember when she took the car and got out of Dodge? Then she came across a cop on the street who had pulled someone over and it turns out that killer Tex was hiding in the backseat? :icon_yes:

I rented Dirty Love tonight, which was written by (and stars) Jenny McCarthy. My boss recommened this one for two reasons: 1, it's funny, and 2, Carmen Electra! Carmen plays Jenny's friend. She waxes legs for a living, and she thinks she's black. :lol: She is SO freakin hilarious in this movie. She could do her own movie with this character--I was rolling every time Carmen was on.

Anyway, the movie is about how Jenny gets dumped by her model boyfriend. She sets out for revenge (by trying to make him jealous), but each time her plans fail miserably. She's a great comedic actress, and of course, always nice to look at. We get to see her :boobies: as well--a definite plus! If you're looking for something goofy, then check out this one.

Okay, next up tonight was Bobby, which was written and directed by Emilio Estevez. It did just so-so at the box office, though. It is actually a really good film. It's about the intertwined lives of people during the night that RFK was shot. The absolute best thing the film has going for it is its cast: Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen, William H. Macy, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt, Laurence Fishburne, Harry Belafonte, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Christian Slater, Heather Graham, Ashton Kutcher, Lindsay Lohan, Nick Cannon, Joshua Jackson, Elijah Wood, Joy Bryant...amazing cast! There's a lot of different storylines going on, but they're all very interesting.

Joshua and Nick are campaigning in racist times for RFK, Christian Slater is a racist kitchen manager, Demi Moore is a druken singer whose light is starting to dim with a husband (Estevez) who is unhappy and unsure of his place in life. Sharon Stone is great as a hairdresser who learns her husband (Macy) is cheating on her with a younger woman (Graham). Ashton Kutcher is funny as a hippie, and Lindsay Lohan and Elijah Wood give emotional performances as friends who decide to marry so he won't be sent to Vietnam.

The only thing I didn't like was this: although the real footage of RFK was a great inclusion, the gritty footage of 1968 just doesn't mesh with the clean footage of how the film was actually shot. I don't know--it just bothered me.

It's hard to have a film with so many characters, but even harder to make the audience care about every one of them. For me, Bobby succeeded.
