Anyone seen any good movies lately?

watched "Deep Cover" tonight very good

 

Got some movies in the mail today from BBO. Tell me what you think about these titles? I haven't watched them yet. They just got here. Just curious about what your opinions might be. I've really enjoyed reading this discussion.

Mind Hunters
Lords of Dogtown
Land of the Dead
The Skeleton Key
Herbie Fully Loaded
Madagascar

Something for all tastes in my house - young and old.

By the way. I watched Fat Albert last night. Had recorded it from HBO. It was cute, heart warming and colorful, but definitely for the younger audience. I'd say ages 6-14.

 

@creaky, seen both and liked both...two different ends of the spectrum of entertainement. Enjoy my friend.

Family and I watched Madagascar last night...my wife loved it and my daughter enjoyed for her third time. She's a little movie buff herself.

 

Thanks to you both.


I watched Land of the Dead tonight. Didn't much care for it. Kind of boring. Not scary enough. Crappy story line. Plenty of gore though. I don't recommend it. Lots of other zombie movies are better than this one was.

Now to watch another movie. I think I'll either watch Madagascar or Lords of Dogtown next.

 

Just watched dawn of the dead. That exaclty same movie as resident evil. But i guess it was good.

 

crreaky you will like" Unleashed " really a great movie

and KimTx def. watch "Lords Of Dogtown" its one of my fav. movies of the year ,they nail the mids 70s to a tee. its a very good movie.

all thoses you have listed are good except "Land Of The Dead"

i really enjoyed "The Skeleton Key" also

 

I look at films little afterwards (all films) but in this would be some... the fugitive (harrison ford) seawolf (charles bronson) die another day (james bond) etc.

 

OMG, Lords of Dogtown! I watched it this morning. It was awesome! It was like a walk down memory lane. I was born in 66. I used to date boys like those! I really enjoyed the movie and I'm a female and never skate boarded, but the era of the movie, the music, everything about it kept me glued. The story line was so simple too, but I'm sure they kept it that way to keep it true to life since it's a true story. I have got to get that soundtrack! I recommend this movie to anyone that loves skateboarding and all especially that lived in that era! Awesome movie!

And Madagascar - I watched half if it last night and fell asleep. I didn't fall asleep because it was boring though. It really is a cute and colorful movie. I love the animals. The animation is brilliant! I plan to finish it later.

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is in my BBO queue pretty high up so I'll be getting that one soon too. Thanks for the review on it!

 

Watched war of the worlds. It was ok. Going to see the polar express when i have time. I got it on dvd BTW. I also have stealth. Got to see that also when i have time.

 

lets see good movies, well i liked batman begins awsome movie, sin city, and havent seen mr and mrs smith yet but want to.

 

ok i'm about to go out to buy some DVDs what do u guys recommend???

ok no kid's movies? such as madascagar or charlie factory... or polar express.

 

lets see, batman begins, war of the worlds, christmas with the kranks, good movies for you to buy as far as new ones, old dodgeball unrated, transporter, gladiator, troy.

 

To tell the truth, I can't remember when I saw a good movie last time. Well, may be I'm bore a bit but I got used to all those spec effects such as explosions, crushes, fights etc. And I want something that has got essence, something that you want to think about. That's why a movie must be thought provoking. Do you remember Mr. Keeting (Robin Williams) from "Dead Poets Society"? I've gone to the woods to suck out all the marrow of life.... Doesn't this fraze deserve admiration? It's brilliant. So as carpe diem....
Recently directors are in chase of making their pictures the most expensive and scenes - enormous... But they forget about sense. It's a pity I think.

P.S. Madagaskar is worth watching... really great.

 

last week : Transporter 2

 

I finished watching Madagascar last night. It was cute, the animation brilliant, the humor was funny, but to be honest I didn't care much for it because I thought the story was kind of pointless in my opinion, but with the way it ended there is sure to be a part 2 made. From the other opinions I've seen here on this movie, I might be alone in my opinion of it, but that's OK as we all have different views and tastes.

 

I felt disappointed by Madagascars CGI more than anything else considering how far this technology has come. I think there could have been more detail in the characters especially the lion and some of the background scenery. But I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and even Melman's constant whining & hypochondriac behavior. I do believe there will be a part 2. I saw Domino recently and that for me was a disappointing experience. I'd probably have disliked the movie if it were not for the appearances of Keira Knightley and Mickey Rourke. I'm biased, I admit. Maybe there was an attempt to stay as close to the true story which limited the creativity of the movie plot. Almost missed the fact that Macy Gray was in the movie. No sure if that was her debut to the big screen. As for the appearance of the two 90210 cast members both appearing as themselves(sigh)....ahhhhh...you know what, I'll just leave that alone.
