MOVIES!

[Dumke]

So a previous post by Zeus got me to thinking that it would be good to get movie suggestions. So here is my post.

There are no rules can be old, new or one that you are waiting to come out. Low budget, high dollar, foreign, engrish (without subtitles)... it doesnt matter. I figure with such a diverse group of people there will be alot of diffent suggestions if not for everyone for me to check out.


I will start out.

A buddy of mine from Austrailia got me to check out "Chopper" staring Eric Bana.

I really want to see "Love The Beast" with Eric Bana as well.

Yesterday I watched an interesting/weird/low budget film called "Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America". I still don't know quite what to think.

The last movie I watched was "Into The Wild"...very good movie but the end is a bit depressing.

One of my all time favorite movies is "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" starring Sean Penn in what I think is his best role!

And also pretty much anything Terentino (sp?)!

I liked Into The Wild, but I seem to have a different opinion than most about it. Why was it depressing? If you wandered off into the Alaskan wilderness without ANY preparation, and subsequently die, I do not really feel so bad. In my opinion, it was just stupidity, or possibly mental illness, but certainly not sad. And then there is also the possibility that he intended to end his life that way. It's like The Grizzly Man. Sure, it can be seen as depressing, but in my opinion, it was a long time coming, sad or not. Know what I mean?

Including "Inglorius Bastards"?
That one was a nodder, IMHO. But then again I like Star Wars, Michael Bay movies and Marlin's bumper, so there's no accounting for taste
Best,

I loved Inglorious Bastards. Just a brilliant film. See, a lot of people can't handle all the dialog, its too much for their little Michael Bay loving brains to handle. I also really like to see films with all the different languages and characters. But then, there are some people who have trouble with subtitles to, makes their brains hurt or something. Still, Reservoir Dogs is his best.

I will say this though, Brad Pitt is HIGHLY overrated. Every time I watch him, I don't believe him. I think to myself, that's just Brad Pitt acting. He's no Gary Oldman...

Have not seen Bastards yet...I generally wait for the DVD so I can watch from the comfort of home. Theater seating kicks my *** literally...I can not get comfy.


As far as "into the wild"...have you read the book also Bart. It goes into a bit more detail about his preparing by going to the library and doing some pretty extensive studying of what was eatible and not in the area. He did not go in "blind". He was actually heading back out of the wild except for a little problem with the river flooding. I guess to me the depressing part is that is just a hell of a painful way to die. I'd rather die a little quicker! And then to be found just a few days too late...kinda sucks.

I found his performance in "Burn after Reading" to be believable...though he may not have been doing all that much acting......

As Coen Bros. movies go, I found that steaming pile to be not too good..

Can't believe not one mention of HEAT. or Ronin. I'm not even a particular DeNiro superfan or anything. I absolutely love movies and it's a revolving list of flicks that I'd mention as my favorite depending on the time of day. But Heat and Ronin (and Rocketeer) are always on it for me. I can watch any of them nonstop back-to-back. If I were to truly put down my favorite, I probably couldn't whittle it down to a top 20.

Hey SpaceCADET go back and read post #16...I did list HEAT!! (But you're right, I did forget Ronin....such a shame what they did to that Audi S8).

[nfpgasmask]

I thought Ronin was decent, but Heat was really good. That last bank robbery scene is INTENSE and it is my "surround sound test" scene of choice. Just amazing audio in that scene.

The Professional (Leon) - is one of my faves of all-time. Saw that one in the theater and loved it... and then I got the director's version when it came out on DVD... AWESOME!

Kicked in the Head - funny funny funny... guy says to his buddy who doesn't want to get drunk, "Man, you've got a drinkin problem!"

Rumor has it Myers is working on a 4th Austin Powers movie that delves into Dr. Evil's past a bit more... I'm excited for that.

I was always a fan of The Thing and I am hesitantly excited about a prequel being in the works.

Wild Things is also going to be remade, with a new hottie on the block, Jillian Murray. Yay for that one.

Where the Wild Things Are - This is one of those movies I avoid previews of, conversations, clips and pics... I just want it to be completely untainted when I see it. Don't know what to expect at all, just how I like it...

Saw 6 - Just have to wrap up this mega series...

The Hobbit - Not sure of the direction here yet, but I am jazzed to see what becomes of this one.

Parallel War I, II, III - I have been writing this 3D Thrillogy off and on since I was 14. I missed the boat regarding the 3D movie screen transition 2 years ago and may never finish, but over such time you get to see more and more of my own ideas revealed in other movies and in actual science... seeing my movie theories proven or witnessed in science is pretty cool... Seeing my shots and other ideas in movies is not as cool...

Agreed. This is hands down, Luc Besson's greatest film. It is probably also my favorite Gary Oldman performance. The Fifth Element is good too. I still need to see Nikita. I don't know how or why I have put that film off for so long.

I was always a fan of The Thing and I am hesitantly excited about a prequel being in the works.

The Thing from Fantastic Four or John Carpenter's remake of The Thing? I hear Ridley Scott is doing an Alien prequel.

I am a little giddy about this.

I liked Silent Hill, great creepiness... so I too am jazzed to see a sequel under way. Thanks for the heads up!
