A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

12,438 1,117 April 23, 2010 at 06:49 PM
One of the other forums I go to has one of these threads and I've been turned on to some good movies that other regulars just watched. I was kind of surprised not to see a similar thread here (at least not that I could find.) Big Grin

I just rewatched "Kinamand" - a cute drama about a Danish plumber who gets involved in an arranged marriage with a Chinese illegal. Good stuff (Netflix instant.)

So what have you folks watched recently?

Watched Battle Royale this weekend. Couldn't stand the first few minutes of it dubbed in English. The reporter at the beginning just sounded awful!! It was great in Japanese.

I had recently finished reading the Hunger Games books, and I've been wanting to see the movie, but we are trying to wait for it to hit the dollar theaters (and oh my goodness, it is taking forever!!!!). So my bf picked up Battle Royale when it was on the FP here a couple weeks ago.

It was good. I got attached to some of the characters. I cared about some of them. I was sad here and there. And of course, some parts were flat out amusing because it was Japanese. I heart the Instructional Video Roll

Boom! Blowup

Nothing Sacred - Carole Lombard and Fredric March. Really bad for a 30's screwball comedy. Really bad.
have you seen his girl friday? best screwball comedy.
Quote from jmegirl :
has anyone ever seen Sleeping Beauty (2011) [wikipedia.org]?

i feel like it's a little too early in the evening to be watching this movie. it's very....risque, to say the least. but i'm intrigued and cannot stop watching. Coverlaugh
i actually watched that a friend's place over the weekend. wtf? weird movie. i thought it was going to be soft core sexploitation, but the director was going for an art house piece.

also, goldeneye was the best bond flick, but i like the whole series, except the crappy daniel craig ones.

In the Bond movie universe are all the changing Bond actors supposed to be the same movie character or does the MI6 agency give that identity and agent # to a different person every few years?

I don't think you're supposed to put that much thought into it.

He regenerates. He's like Dr Who, except he kills people.

The Change-up: 2/5 Two friends pee in a fountain wishing they had the lives of the other--wakes up with one another's body. Not much to it. Some funnies but overall was so-so.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes: 2/5 Maybe it's not my genre. Just not so fond of animal type movies... the storyline was okay. The beginning felt like it was dragging...It needed to happen fast, and somehow it happened and ended.

Pandora and The Flying Dutchman - Visually appealing. Okay.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - Not fond of complicated plots that the characters have to spell out for the audience, the Guy Ritchie action sequence of super slow motion, and the monochrome color throughout. The film's just very flat with no life to it. The disguises were only slightly amusing. A 3rd film with a different director would be best.

Grey Gardens - The documentary of Jackie O's socialite relatives living in a run down mansion with racoons and cats. Little Edie is fun to watch but the cinema verite style filming turns into a boring home movie really.

Melancholia - I don't get the hype over this movie. So incredibly boring and depressing like the title. Kirsten Dunst has no depth at all. The end of the world is coming and you're just going to what? Have it out with your family? Seriously? You wouldn't have sex one last time, get shite faced, get high the first time on heroin, hug your kiddo till they can't breathe, laugh, etc...?? I would totally live it up!

V for Vendetta [imdb.com] - I thought it was pretty good. Seemed long, but enjoyable. Before I watched it, I thought it was a hippie/hipster movie because of those dumb masks everyone wears at the Occupy rallies. I have concluded that those people are even more retarded after watching the movie. Plot was good, some cool fight scenes. 3.75 out of 5


The Island [imdb.com] - Really enjoyed this movie. Plot was predictable, but special effects were awesome and the sci-fi aspect was really entertaining. Plus my favorite actress drool Ending was awesome, wish I saw this movie sooner. 4.5 out of 5

I also enjoyed it, but it's still a complete bastardization of the source material (the imprisonment/induction and love letter section are still pretty much true to it, at least).
