Anyone seen any good movies lately?

just seen stelth. IT was good movie.

 

well, just got me a new favorite film. "Man On Fire" was perfect. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning were perfect. an apsolute must see. i love how when the tension raised the camera would play clips in a weird angle and creepy music. perfect movie.

 

war of the worlds was mind boggeling i dont care what others say, tom cruz will pwnt teh nubs.

 

War Of The Worlds ..was say very dissappointing to me ,weak story line. specail effects were good though

 

My little sister asked my parents to rent Charlie and the Choclate factory. So my dad rented it. The movie was plain weird and some parts were just disgusting how that boy was keep eating that wonka choclate stuff. I would rate it 2/5 stars.

 

yeah i didnt like it either and a kids movie rated PG what the heck

 

That movie should be rated G. It did not have anything bad in the movie at all.

 

What was the Johnny Depp movie from a couple of years ago, where he played a writer living in the woods and had a split personality...that was good. Johnny Depp is a pretty good actor--something I would not have predicted.

I have never read HG Wells "War of the Worlds"--I wonder how close the recent movie was to the written story? Anyone read it?

 

Try and see 'STAY' with E. McGreggor, fine story, fine acting and some lovely directing.

Saw war of the worlds the other day. Not as good as the original. Why does there ALWAYS have to be a smart-arsed kid & a troubled teenager, coupled with a trouble divorced man, whose ex-wife married a complete dick, in these second rate remakes? There has to be these pathetic underlying stories in these films. Bruce Willis films are a good example.
Is this how American films have to be to appeal to the masses? Far to much a stereotypical film, not enough special effects for me either! Why is it not in widescreen?

3 out of 10, poor!

 

Pulsar theres two verisons fullscreen and widescreen .or at my local video store there was anyway

 

Pulsar--I am glad it is not only me who hates the brilliant-but-troubled young person with the 'misunderstood 'tough-guy' husband-father(see "The Day After Tomorrow"). They say this is necessary to draw in the teens who make up a big chunk of theater receipts.... Not unlike the obligatory love angle for the female crowd. Sort of a "cheese" pizza--nothing to offend anyone. I won't even go into disaster movies and their obligatory screaming woman giving child birth in the wrong places...

Being from and still living in the "South" of the USA--it is annoying when we are always depicted as banjo-playing hicks. I never knew anyone who played a banjo...and all the police are fat and roll their squad cars everytime the chase someone (like Burt Reynolds movies--who looks like a monster now after massive face lifts...). Actually, the people here talk in a certain way because the main nationality here is German--and when they learned "American" English--they ponounced words in CERTAIN way that become know as "Southern" drawl. If you know what people in Brooklyn sound like--it's from their roots in "cockney" London--their largest ancestry.

 

By the way, creaky, I am also awaiting another "Laura Croft" movie with Miss Jolie in it...

 

Hey I thought The DAy After Tomorrow was pretty good. Then again, I'm a teenager.

 

Skidme--how fortunate to be a teenager--good time of life--it's sometimes hard for me to handle a teenage mind in a decrepit old carcass...it all seems so unfair...

 

Jmark, spot on with the parallels of day after tomorrow! It's a shame that the film makers treat the public like kids.
It's a good job that there are films like Layer Cake to even the realism bit out a bit!
One of my fave films was The Mummy, then they ruined it by putting a smart arsed, know it all, I fear nothing kid in the sequel. These kids always have something really clever to say, in totally unrealistic situations.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

McCauley Culkin (?) is a prime example of this snotty nosed, clever little s**t type character. I would love to smack him in the chops.

Team America hit the spot for me, Matt & Trey took all of the film cliches & rolled them into one! Absolutely marvellous! I love it when they put a place name, they always put how far away it was from America, just in case you did not know where Korea or Egypt was! And they tried to portray all the stereotypical traits of each nation to offend as many people as possible.

I am British & I love the way The Simpsons portray us, especially groundskeeper Willy (I am a Scot, BTW), absolutely hilarious. I loved the episode where Lisa went to the dentist & he produced a "Great British Book of Teeth". Absolutely spot on. Mind you, the Brits are the tops at self deprocation. Something other nations find EXTREMELY hard to do. We love to laugh at ourselves, I LOVE it!

Why is it, in American films, the makers always tell you in one way or another where a capital city is, i.e Paris France, London England & my personal fave, Moscow Russia! (What with the Mcarthy witch hunts in the 50s!)? Do they not teach geography in American schools? Fair enough I do not know all the state capitals, but I know a few. And why is it called math & not maths, as in short for mathematics - plural, not singular, what with there being more than one calculation involved in nearly all mathematical problems!??
