Gran Torino

Just watched this Monday night with my mother...love Clint Eastwood and I've always enjoyed every movie...BUT: his narrative on this movie {with that baritone/gravelly voice} made it hard to understand him and I spent most of the movie hitting play back so that my mother & I could understand WTH he had just said and why - WHY do they put the dialogue fonts so small that you have to be setting within 2-3 feet of your TV screen to read the language that the MUNG were speaking in...

Coming Attraction: The Freethought Film Festival

Through much of movie history, films that explore freethinking themes have been few and far between. Many films with religious overtones have enjoyed...

Patrick Swayze Dies at 57

I hate to admit my morbidness, but last month I was looking up Annette Funicello to see how she was doing(she has MS) and I stumbled upon a Google picture of a supposedly dying Swayze. I couldn't believe that was really him. Maybe it was, I don't know.
I thought he was a good actor. His voice was very comforting and I still remember his best lines from Dirty Dancing and...

It's a good argument against going to comics for your material....Yet another superhero movie...YAWN!

Rock n Rolla

feeds@yuku.com (Rambo123UK) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:38:51 GMT
After the dog-turd of a film that was Revolver, I was worried about buying another Guy Ritchie film, but Rock n Rolla was just as good as Snatch or Lock Stock - by turns hilarious, terrifying, violent, climactic, twisted and all of the above at once. Though the collision-course of the plotlines is just as obvious as in the other two aforementioned films, the actual ending itself was a surprise to me - I could see how it was meshing together but not what the end result would be, if you follow...

District 9

Eh....docudrama style through the first half was annoying, the main character is a bit of a tool so there's no human protagonist you can root for, way too many loose ends plotwise.

Most overheard comment coming out of the theater:

"That was a disappointment"

If you must see it, wait for the DVD to come out, save some money.

Talladega Nights

I watched this hilarious comedy last night and loved it.

HP and the half blood prince.

I'm too geared up to sleep. It was like going to a sold out arena for Harry Potter 6. I think the theater had 4 auditoriums just for the midnight show. The crowd seemed to like it, all the silly teen love/angst were groaned about of course. And there weren't many little kids running around. I liked the few scenes that were shot like how the book had it written. It's a long movie, 2:45. Once it gets to my Imax on the 29th, we're sure to have very long breaks in between movie...

BRUNO

Heavens to Murgatroy! Saw Bruno today and laughed so much I could hardly breathe! There was quite a bit of nudity and dildo action, definetely not for children, rednecks or Fundamentalist religionists

Knowing

oy...thinly disguised biblical Apocalypse movie, right down to the 'aliens' having wings.

Lessons from the movie: I learned that if you don't follow prophecy, you get smashed by a semi.

Oh, and it has Nicolas Cage, another black mark

It's BRUNO, vassup!?

I want to watch this movie at the Big Picture bar/movie theater with a bunch of Sex and the City loving 'Mo Guys.
Just kidding....sort of.

Twilight

I think if I were a teenage girl I'd have loved this film. As it was, it wasn't bad, once you got past all the quivering lips and heavy breathing that I think was supposed to be palpable sexual tension. I wasn't impressed with the wire work (though Gem commented that she thought it was very good while we were watching it), and some of the CGI stuff of the "fast" stuff seemed a bit dubious too. I'm also afraid that the heroine looked so much like Hermione Granger I...

Da Vinci Code

feeds@yuku.com (Rambo123UK) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:08:28 GMT
I watched this a couple of weeks back on TV. I can best describe it as like National Treasure without most of the excitement or any of the humour.

Taken

feeds@yuku.com (Macaroo) — Sun, 31 May 2009 11:34:19 GMT
I'm not quite sure what to make of this movie. It wasn't very well-written (although it had its moments) and the premise was pretty unbelievable, but Neeson managed to salvage it anyway and turn it into a reasonably decent action flick.

After she guilts her adoring divorced father into giving his reluctant permission to spend time in Paris without a chaperone, Neeson's slightly spoiled daughter and her traveling companion are immediately kidnapped for sale as sex...

Deja VU.... A great movie.

The best movie I've watched in a long while. I can't dispute anything about it. It seems like it could be true. Go to the trailer and watch previews of several clips or purchase the DVD. It is great!

Do you like them? Hate them? Do you think adaptations from comics ever really work? Have you any favourites?

Sarah Connor Chronicles

I'm waching this along with Dollhouse as my SF fix these days, and must say, SCC is far the better of the two shows thus far.
