I must be the only person who did not like this film. I did not find it funny at all. Maybe a slight chuckle here and there, but otherwise horse doo-doo, imho.

Bart

I think it's much funnier the second time you watch it because you pick up on more dialogue. Regardless, its personal preference . I like ridiculous movies, Zoolander was my fav back in the day.

[Y33TREKker]

The Remains of the Day

A quiet period piece about a devoted British butler.

I've been wanting to see that one, but haven't been able to find it anywhere local.

The Man From Earth is a standout among the movies I've watched in the last year or so.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/

No big action scenes or epic cgi, just a great story with an excellent message (IMO).

[Dumke]

LOL sorry had to look at my blockbuster que to get some I couldnt think of off top of my head


Resolved:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1068161/ (Really enjoyed this movie, I was picking out indie films and this hooked me in because Higlandpark is in my area.)

Heavy Metal in Baghdad: http://www.blockbuster.com/acctmgmt/rentalHistory
(Some may not like it but I enjoyed it what these guys have gone through and its has to do with recent events. Kinda puts a different perspective other than what we thougth and felt as they where happening.)

Murderball:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436613/(Sorry I had a indie fettish for a bit lol.. This movie I saw a preview on another high budget movie so I checked it out.. Took almost over a yr being at top of my que to get it.)

Be kind Rewind:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799934/ (love jack black so...)


That is my added current list I am sure I have more.

I'm a bit of a SciFi fan and I was able to get "The man from Earth" from the US about a year ago (it's only been in the UK about six months) after seeing a very high rating from IMDB. I must say it is a good film and I love good thought provoking SciFi but I was slightly disappointed. Perhaps I was expecting too much or perhaps the acting just wasn't up to scratch. However the idea was sound but really didn't deliver on an emotional level. The movie I'd like to see but again isn't available in the UK is "Last Night". Is it recommended?

[Dumke]

Billy I enjoyed into the wild, however I sorta knew what was comming because someone ruined it and told me ending but enjoyed none the less. NO I heven't read the book but I didnt think it was all that sad. Like Bart said He basically didnt want to be a robot and do what everyone expected him to do and hated how society and life was. He was going to find himself. I also agree with Bart in its all in teh risk you want to take. You play with a Grizzly dont come to me if he gets hungry. I can apreciate there passion and no matter how it ends good or bad you have to apreciate there drive.

Story similar in real life: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...9/tanner.obit/

He has been through alot personally and no he wasnt going into it blind either just one of those things that happened.

[Dumke]

..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...

Bart

LOL Brad Pitt to me made that movie, shame on you bart. He was funny with his "trying to have and accent" (cant say that for his other movies agreed but in this one he was funny) . The Mike Myers part was eh. I did like how Eli Roth was tied in there as him and Tarantino are buddies had he showed Eli how to get around the ratinsg board. Showed him the ropes.

Shaun of the Dead

x 2, All of Simon Peg movies I have seen so far have been great. Go check out run fat boy run.:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425413/

... Aside from Legend, it is really the ONLY Tom Cruise film I like....

...I must be the only person who did not like this film. I did not find it funny at all. Maybe a slight chuckle here and there, but otherwise horse doo-doo, imho...

Bart

Man bart yu didnt like the The last samurai: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325710/ .. That was probably one of my favorite movies of his.

Also I agree on Tropic Thunder wasnt that great and maybe it was my mood but I only got a chuckle here or there. They say Tom Cruise made the movie but I think jack black did specially the part where he is tied to the tree wanting a fix (sorry I am partial still )

I .., Zoolander was my fav back in the day.

back in the day? Now I gotta find that movie and watch it now lol.. I lvoe that movie. I mean what movie you ever going to watch where they have gasoline wars. That in it self is funny . I would say one of Ben stillers best movies imo


And to VX cat.... What no Jason Statham or Gerard Butler. My old roomate is crazy about them two.





And to add a few more to my list I just thought of. Monty Phython and the Holy Grail::http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/ and also the Life of Brian:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079470/ (Ya sucker for the phytons as well.

Phhffff, nah, Brosnan and Pitt are my guys! Especially Brosnan...too bad he's not Bond any more...but Daniel Craig ain't too bad either....and neither is his acting! I really liked Casino Royale. Pitt is special to me 'cuz he's a dead ringer for my brother (or is it the other way around?) (no kidding), so I guess that's why I like him so much.

[snowtrooper1966]

x3 on Vanilla Sky
x2 on Last Samurai

[nfpgasmask]

Last Samurai was absolute Hollywood rubbish. Very convenient how the entire Japanese samurai army gets blown away at the end, but SOMEHOW TOM CRUISE LIVES! I mean, c'mon!!

Watch Lone Wolf And Cub or Zatoichi if you want a real Samurai flick!

Bart

[spaceCADETzoom]

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.

True but I still enjoyed it. I mean if you look at any movie you could pick out how something didnt really happen or how its unrealistic, unless your into jackass which was funny and tend to show you a little too much whats going on . But in reality movies are for pleasure and yes I agree he was like superman and didnt get shot lol.

I will have to check those others out. Some reason when I think of samurai movie I think of "shogun". Cant remember it well as watched it when I was younger. I guess I have alot of catching up to do lol.

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).
