[Darth Ravenous]

That movie was halarious.

StarTrek: first contact


I was not prepared for how ing awesome this film is.... o_____o

[SturmChurro]

I just saw The Patriot for like the 3rd time. That scene where he ambushes the caravan, the fighting was soooo fake, he would start attacking one of the British soldiers they would freeze not even fight back! No smart soldier especially, a professional British soldier, would not fight back when someone gets in close and attacks you, that scene ruined the movie for me because it just reminded me of how fake the battles are!

Just watched a terrible movie called The Ruins. It's all about killer vines.

ah yes that one, weird movie, too bad they never gave an explanation about those vines being so smart and deadly wasn't a verry good movie, and it had an open ending

I can order a movie (for free) called war games... something, I asume it's some sort of wargames remake? it's about this guy really good at gaming apparently and because of it he is marked as a potential terrorist.

Should I watch it?

edit it's called: wargames 2 the dead code

here's the premise according to imdb:
Computer hacker Will Farmer (Lanter) engages a goverment super-computer named Ripley in an online terrorist-attack simulation game. Little does Farmer know that Ripley has been designed to appeal to potential terrorists, and certain glitches have turned made him become paranoid.

There were a few endings for it. The one on the DVD I think ends with the a close shot of a little vine snaking through the face of the girl. Anyway, it's all based on a novel which is just as vague about the history of the vines.

Just watched (well, it has ten minutes) Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I don't know. It just isn't funny to me.

EDIT - Just watched The Keep (1983). I'm not quite sure what it was about. I only recorded it because of Ian McKellen. As far as I can tell there was some sort of a plot (German soldiers in a Romanian castle inhabited by a demon) but it jumped from scene to scene with little elaboration as to what the hell was going on. I remembered slow-motion sequences; ridiculously out of place electronic music; billowing smoke with red eyes shining out; a priest gone mad with blood all over his face (he turns out alright in the end); of green blood and a man who was apparently supernatural although no explanation was given; heads being shattered like glass and the entire script being spoken by the cast as though it was some sort of secret that needed to be very quietly whispered.

Honestly, it's not even deserving of the 5.7 rating it has on imdb. It's worse than Manos: The Hands of Fate.

[Antissa]

Woman in Berlin and Der Untergang (Downfall), very powerful and amazing films.

[vizi]

Over the last 4 days...Raiders of the Lost Ark, Clerks, The Running Man, History of Violence and The Abyss.

[Darth Ravenous]

Those are all good movies except probably the Abyss which is average.

[vizi]

The theatrical release was average. The actual directors cut is great.

[Darth Ravenous]

That must be it never saw the directors cut.

[vizi]

They cut out about 30 minutes of the movie. The theatrical version has some parts that don't make much sense.

Regardless, of all the movies I listed, The Abyss is the best movie in the list. One of the single greatest adventure movies there is.

Yep... American Demagogy anyone

Anyway, just saw The Dark Knight on TV. Now, that is one kickass movie

[Niles Crane]

Just watched Adventureland. It was pretty ordinary.

Really is it that good. I mean last time I watched it was theatrical but does the cut improve it that much.

[vizi]

I talked to someone, and he said they removed a huge scene from the end that makes the ending make sense.

I honestly have never seen all the movie until today. Mostly because I would start to watch the movie on TV and realize I do not have 5 hours to devote to the movie and commercials...and I only put it above Raiders of the Lost Ark because I do not think it is the best Indiana Jones movie. And The Abyss was more adventure then action. And I love adventure movies.

[Darth Ravenous]

Then I must see it. However I do agree RotLA is not the best Indy movie I believe that goes to TLC or The Last Crusade for people who can't guess abriviations.

[vizi]

Sean Connery derailed TLC...that movie needed less Connery and more tender loving care. Temple of Doom was the best. The most pure adventure of the movies.

[Darth Ravenous]

The problem with Temple of Doom was shortround or whatever that little kids name was and personally I prefer'd the other girl actor instead of this knockoff.

[vizi]

I liked Short Round. Who wouldn't want a Chinese kid that does things for you?

No offense but that doesn't sound right....
