Official Movie Thread - Discuss movies here

Binkie, if you meant Taken, did you know this has been out for over a year? I got the dvd already...since june of last year actually ;-)

 

@EnigmaCN

You sure about Taken, it's in the theaters here in the states and almost assuredly not out on DVD? I could be wrong?

There could be a previous "Taken" that I've never heard of. Or I could be a complete idiot about this situation. If so, just ignore me-I'm getting senile! olo

 

In a way you are right but I think Taken was a little better, 88 Minutes was a bit too predictable. I got another one for you, low budget and a very good drama, a few known actors. It's called Red.

 

Positive. This movie was out as a DVDRip last year, in June. I "acquired" a copy this way. Something happened in the distribution rights and was delayed from coming out here for a few months. The version I have is in English with I believe are Russian subtitles

 

Well, I got some time recently so I thought I'd watch some old movies I had lined up

Saw Into The Blue - quite a good flick 8-8.5/10

Mr and Mrs Smith - nice movie with some great action scenes 8.5-9/10

I also saw burn after reading - Didn't quite get it
After watching it I was sort of like What was the point of this

Anyone else feel like this???

 

It was just your typical bad decisions turn into bad circumstances with a bit of senile personalities and a little black humor...yeah, i understand it was a bit like 'huh" which is why I watched it twice and the second time it made more sense. Best way to watch it is just separate the story lines, a lot easier to understand that way

 

Gotcha...Same with Gran Torino and Defiance (well only a few weeks before release). By the way, Red is on DVD already. Now I also meant to tell you about this other movie called Sangre de mi Sangre (Blood of my Blood, it is a Mexican movie with English subs). This one is pretty good also and also on DVD

 

I have started, as of last month, to "acquire" my movies through "other sources" as I'm saving all my extra cash for a new laptop and maybe a new tv. I'm already having withdrawls from not posting in the dvd shrink forum on the new releases. All I know is once I get a new laptop, I will be on a buying spree!!

 

@Binkie

So in my senile state will I'll be able to understand "Burn after Reading"

 

Yeah just finished watching "Burn after reading" what a hoot. 8.5

Pitt and McDormand were hilarious.

 

I checked out Red at my blockbuster site, they have several, one about a dog getting killed, another about somebody calling a bartender, any of these ring a bell?

 

The one with the dog. I rented this sometime ago and it surprised me how good it was for a movie I had not heard except for in a dvd preview

 

Glad you liked Red. If you have seen Quarantine, see if you can "aquire" a movie by the name of REC. This is the original story, from Spain, hopefully with some subtitles. This is such a great movie. Quarantine is the remake of this. Don't know when or if this will come out on dvd in the states but it is well worth it

 

Sex Drive was pretty funny. I also enjoyed Australia.
