Saw Watchmen for the first time a few days ago. NNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHH! :freak:
I saw Children of Men for the first time several days ago and was highly impressed by it. Technically it was a very well made film, with an extremely evocative atmosphere that made the dystopian setting viscerally real, and I appreciated the social commentary. A lot of nice music choices too.
Apart from that I watched Iron Man and Star Trek for like the billionth time each. I love both films a lot and can't really evaluate them objectively anymore.
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete
Really like all the extra scenes!![]()
Both of these films made me a fan of Clive Owen :]
My last final exam was this morning at 10:00AM and I ended up watching three movies between then and now (thank you, Netflix Instant Watch + PS3)
Tokyo Zombie: It's a very silly zombie comedy. It wasn't bad - I was quite entertained the whole time, but I can't really call it hilarious. I can't think of many laugh-out-loud moments during the whole thing. It was just silly. The bar has been raised pretty high for zombie comedies thanks to Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, and this really isn't a bad movie to watch if you're in the mood, but it's definitely not destined to be a cult classic. I was also disappointed at both the lack of gore and relatively little usage of jujitsu on the zombies.
Matilda: A lot of times I find that when I watch movies from my youth that they're rose-tinted from nostalgia, but this one actually remains pretty good. Stands up well both for kids and adults, I think.
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels: This movie was a blast. I always got the impression that Snatch was more highly regarded but I felt like this was stronger overall. The plot is so intricate, and the web of characters so complex, that I really was just completely sucked in. It's a shame that (from what I read) Guy Ritchie's kinda lost his touch, because this was really a wonderful and fun movie.
The Prestige
This movie was hardcore suspenseful.
(SPOILER)It really freaked me out that the other magician had an identical twin and thats how he worked his trick. And the clone thing was really smurfing cool.
One Hour Photo
Well, at first the film had seemed like some kind of stupid stalker's film to me, then however, when Sy (Was that his name?) started to become mad about wanting to become a member of the family and mixing up their problems as a family, the film started to become interesting.
Especially the last scene with the officer is extremely intense. Great movie, just as expected from Robin Williams (:
Shoot 'em Up was dumb as hell. I saw a Felini film called Nights of Cabria the other day and it was hilarious. The main woman in it reminded of the chick from Strangers with Candy.
Avatar 3D. I should state that I am a geek and in geek world James Cameron is a GOD! I was smurfing drooling over this movie and though the clips were worrying the fanboy in me just kept on believing.
Maybe I'm getting old and I just don't get it anymore but I was shocked at how ordinary Avatar was.
The good: Special fx were mind blowing! Holy!!!!!!!! Never seen a movie look this good.
The bad: No tension at all. Characters I didn't care a jot about. Blatant Dances With Wolves rip off (though nowhere near as well executed as that slightly above average flick) and a serious lack of humour led to a dull experience overall.
I suppose the best way to sum it up is to say this: All I could think of while watching was how good Jurassic Park, Aliens, Starship Troopers etc would look with this technology. 4/10.watch District 9 instead.
I will never be a memory.
Meet Joe Black - I love the concept of Death being in the real world and interacting with people. It's a good movie sadbut good!
Inglorious Bastards - I loved this movie. It as thoroughly entertaining. If only that's how epic it had gone down. Go Quentin Tarantino!!
