I saw the new the book of Eli, it was good. If you haven’t watched now that I would really recommend it
-
Your second sentence sort of falls off a cliff there.
Nonetheless: One of the Futurama movies.
-
I just watched The Namesake - against my wishes - but it was pretty great. I'm usually not one for realistic fiction, especially not of the culture-centric-generation-gap variety, but I really enjoyed it. Ah, Indian Jeff Goldblum.

I ended up on a movie bender last night. I watched 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' and 'Almost Famous' and it was quite a contrast. The first was poor the second fantastic :). Hugh Grant was funny and cute when he was young but he really has lost some of his charm. Almost Famous was great, the lead actor is the same as in 'Wristcutters: A Love Story' one of my favourite movies so that had me :).
-
He's only a little more than two hours away from me.

Not for too much longer.

I saw "Inception". This movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, shoots for high philosophy, but misses the mark entirely. In fact, the only philosophical question I was pondering the entire time while watching this was "How does this guy still have a career?"
On the Xolik Blows-a-meter *pppphhhhht* Egg Salad!

Haven't seen it, and for this reason. Although, could you imagine how much worse it could have been if it were Keaneu Reeves who had DiCarprio's role? Reeves doesn't even have a personality with which to act, and the only reason he was decent in the Matrix was because the character had no personality either.
The last movie I saw was "Good," with Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortenson. It was pretty good, I have to say. I actually teared up a little at the end. (Not the most historically accurate in terms of pre-WWII events, but the main focus of it revolves around the psychological/emotional complexities of living in that time in Germany).

They should probably rename it.
-
This is horribly cliche, but don't knock it til you try it.
-
I mean, they should have called it "Pretty Good".
Because it is.
-
Or they could have called it "Wait Until It Comes Out On Netflix, Because It Is Just Pretty Good"
-
See, the thing is, I hear what I read. Maybe lots of people do. Or maybe only really stupid people do. I don't know. In any case, when I read
The last movie I saw was "Good," with Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortenson. It was pretty good
what I heard was
The last movie I saw was good, with Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortenson. It was pretty good.
so I'm all like "Well, which one was it? Good, or pretty good?"
And then I though, they should have just called it "Pretty Good". Then you can just say
The last movie I saw was "Pretty Good," with Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortenson.
and kill 2 birds with one cliche.

PERFECT!

I haven't seen The New The Book of Eli.
Are you sure it wasn't pretty good?

You DID finally realize it was in quotes because that was the name of the movie...right? Why else would it be in quotes?
And, when you said to rename it, I thought you were thinking more along the lines of renaming it "bad," or something along those lines.

I saw it on Sunday. I thought it was pretty good.

I thought you saw Inception.
The movie Rizzy saw pretty good, except she said it was "Good". I think the quotes mean it was actually bad.

Well, you never know.

That's what I get for mentioning a movie whose title is also a generic adjective/adverb.
-
I loved inception... I think di-craprio's beautiful face distracted me.
His beautiful body distracted me during that stinker The Beach.
-
God, I remember when he used to be the troubled teen on Growing Pains.
Ya know, that's a horrible name for a TV show.

I only remember Kirk Cameron....

What a dreadful show that was.

Yeah, he played Luke - Kirk taught him in some inner city school (I think he played an orphan, maybe), and Kirk et al. just "adopted" him, so to speak.

Don't worry, you have time. Not just for the old Russians, but for everyone.

Leon ( The Professional ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI0AkD6U42s)

Awesome movie.

I watched Quills last night. Great flick, plus nude Geoffrey Rush. :wink:

I love that one. I've seen it probably a dozen times, never managed to get sick of it. A brilliant performance by a very young Natalie Portman, and a downright chilling over-the-top villain brought to you by Gary Oldman.

Also a great flick. I'm actually going to have to give that one another watch. I want to read the book (http://www.amazon.com/Quills-Doug-Wright/dp/0822215314) first though.
-
That's probably one of my favourite movies of all time.
I had never even heard of it before yesterday, but I'm so glad I watched it. I then immediately purchased it on eBay, of course.
I don't know how many women out there besides me enjoy naked Geoffrey Rush, but I certainly enjoy it enough for at least twelve thousand women.
-
I liked the nude Kate Winslet better. But still a great movie.
-
Earlier today I watched Fargo. Great movie.
-
Along similar lines as "Quills", you should also check out "The Libertine".

Oh, I have. I actually watched Quills because someone told me if I liked The Libertine, I would enjoy it.

I liked him more at the end than I did at the beginning. :|

I'm suprised Xolik didn't like Inception because that movie was pretty gay. I guess the lesson here is that not all gays like each other.
I actually liked inception because it was an out of the box concept. It reminded me of the first time I saw the matrix. It's good to see a bit more creativity in hollywood. Yes, some aspects of the film are fails. But some credit has to be given for originality (altough there's a lot of holes in the story).

I can't say anything about Inception since I haven't seen it yet. But, while the Matrix is kinda original (by combining ideas from various sources of influence), I wouldn't call it ~completely "out of the box"~, either (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_%28franchise%29#Influences_and_interpretations).
Unless of course you're referring to the cinematography, in which case, I rescind the above comment, since it has nothing to do with that.

SPOILER:[/color] he spent the whole time trying to find his "real" kids when in the end he got dream kids and was just as happy.
I don't know if the writers intended this to be the message, or if the majority of the audience took this away from the movie but I was really happy when the top didn't stop spinning.
[/quote]
It's not that the top didn't stop spinning. The whole point is that the scene was cut short so you can only guess if it was going to stop or not. (which is why a lot of people hate the ending)
-
Yes but if the top never stops spinning the scene will always be cut short.
The top is how he is able to determine if he is dreaming or not. The top always has this power. To say that all of the sudden we can't trust the top is negating the entire story.
-
No one said we can't trust it. I said the movie ends without us knowing if the top falls or not, and this is by design. Fruitycandy says it is established that the top continues spinning, thus they had to cut the scene short otherwise the movie would never end. We would be staring at the top forever. Personally, I think a sudden earthquake at the end would have been a good way to end it. That way the top falls, but you don't know if the quake is real or if he just fell asleep in a bumper car ride. OMFGLOL!111

Ah, yes. Well, then.

It has been some time when it comes to movies, I have not been watching any movies few months ago. The last time I went for a movie was months ago, and from what I remembered, the last movie I watched was Inception. Inception is indeed a really great movie as it has a very interesting story line that no other movie has tried attempting on. although it might be confusing at times, but still I like it.
-
Last night I saw Piranha 3D. Admittedly, I haven't seen the original Piranha, but I have a hard time believing this one was anything but loosely based on it...because Piranha 3D is a huge throwback to Jaws. The original Piranha film came out only three years after Jaws; if it had been this parallel in plot I imagine there would have been more to-do about it.
That said, I loved it. It's definitely a "leave your brain at the door" film.
-
Well, the last movie I watched was “Inception” and I must say that everything went over my head though I’ve read that it one of the greatest hits in terms of the special effects and stuff I do agree that it had great special effects; it’s just that I am not much of a techie person I prefer to watch more simple movies (my son is the techie) with the same old simple story – no complicated themes for me

I've seen "Inception" twice and it actually made a lot more sense the second time around, that's for sure.
-
The last movie I saw was Fido. I loved it. Reminded me of a colorized version of Pleasantville.
-
We watched "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" last night with the kids. Not bad, I'd say it was a blatant rip off of Stupid Sexy Flanders except that it is based on a book. Its like "Clash of the Titans" for tweens. Not corny though, it was well done. 7.8/10

Well seeing as I had problems with Clash of the Titans, (mainly, the ENTIRE myth/storyline was wrong), I probably won't be seeing Percy Jackson either.
Unless my friends turn it into a drinking game, then of course, I'd have to watch for sheer comedic purposes.
Or they make a parody out of it: Stupid Sexy Flanders vs. Percy Jackson.
-

This was exactly why I didn't see the movie. My friends thought I was dumb. I told them "How can you watch this??? This is wrong, and so is this, and this, and this..."
Their response: "..."
Damn those Mythology classes I took senior year. Pop culture "classics" like Clash of the Titans are forever ruined for me.
-
Here is the answer for yours is that I had watched Resident Evil Part - 4. I like this movie and it is extremely good and best among all four parts in terms of every aspect of movie.

Yes but if the top never stops spinning the scene will always be cut short.

"Just run the program with the given input. If the program stops, we know the program stops.
But if the program doesn't stop in a reasonable amount of time, we cannot conclude that it won't stop.
Maybe we didn't wait long enough."

Easy A, although in Canada it was renamed to "Easy, Eh?"
I lol'd.
Most recent film I've watched was The Black Swan. I had heard nothing about it what so ever. I like it when that happens, your view of the movie is not set askew by the mountains of douche bags who've told you what to expect.
Inception I notice is a hot topic in this thread. I really did not care for it. I found it to be not particularly complex, and completely readable. The first 3/4ths of the film felt like a lecture on how inception works. Then the rest was like "Well! None of what we've been explaining works any more because we're in a rush, so we'll go with whatever."
Also, most of the actors in that film I totally adore, but found them all to be poorly directed and shallow characterisations of what they had the potential to be.
One last point, how important was the need for creating this complex level and needing some supreme architect... Then as soon as we entered he was like "But you built a back door right!?" and she's like "Yeah!" Then they use it.
Honestly I give it a 6/10

I watched the new Tron: legacy movie and thought it was awessssome! created the immediate need to go out and buy a ducati. However although it was in 3d which didn't improve (or ruin the film thankfully) it at all.
-
I was pleasantly surprised by Terminal the other night.
-
Red Riding: 1983 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259573/). It was good, but kind of hard to follow. Very dark.
-
Trainspotting. Worship Robert Carlyle!!! :D
-
I watched Hancock last night. This movie is one of the my favourite movie. I like very much. Actor had done very good job in this movie.
I saw it on TV and I thought "Sure, why not?".
-
Yes, have some.

I might finally get to see Harry Pothead this weekend. Baby will be off visiting Grandma.

Avatar is the last movie I watched it’s great.

great, would be the word you're looking for there, but then again I doubt that was the word. Maybe you were looking for horrid. Or awful. Or vomitous.
-
Hangover 2 ;) just awesomeee!
-
Toy Story 3 probably. My son watches it at least a dozen times a week.
-
Ooooh, I just watched it yesterday. Havana didn't have much to do with it.
-
It's still pretty good after the turdbillionth viewing.
-
The last movie I watched was ‘Kung fu Panda’ it’s really awesome and I watched it in theatre with my friends.

This past weekend I had a lil Star Wars marathon ^_^ I picked up the blu-ray release so I figured, what the hell. Watched 1-6 out of curiosity to see what George decided to change....
Also watched Super. Has anyone else heard of or watched that movie?
-
Haven't heard of Super. The last movie I saw was Klown Kamp Masssacre.
-
Oh man. Its a superhero movie with Rainn Wilson. Most depressing movie ever -__- Kamp Klown Massacre sounds like it could either be awesomely campy.... or just horrible hah
Also, saw Lion King 3D last night- f*ck yea! ^_^
-
Super is awesome since it asks "What kind of nutjob would try being a superhero and what would happen if they did?" and then shows you the visceral result of it. VISCERAL
Also: I've never really been that attracted to Ellen Page before and now I am.
Edit: Oh yeah, the last movie I watched was Attack the Block, a movie about chavs dealing with an alien invasion. It was great!
-

Visceral it certainly was, and the aspect I disliked the most. The friends I had watched it with and I just sat there in awe, depressed and in silence for about 20 minutes after it was over haha None of us were expecting that movie to be so depressing... I did however love the straight-up gore and violence.
I wish I could say the same about Rainn Wilson :P While I thought the [spoilers] was hot, nothing in this world could make me attracted to him.
-
I made your post less spoilery!
-
Oops, sorry! :X I do have a bad reputation for spoiling movies… This is like The Sixth Sense all over again! :(
-
I still haven't seen that movie to the end. Kind of didn't see a point.
