Being John Malkovich

Brilliant movie, just finished watching it for the 2439587439579st time and it's always a wiener. I mean, winner.
 
I watched Episode II tonight as well. I wasn't very impressed, but I didn't think it was as crappy as many people makes it out to be. Unless you compare it to the originals, which is mandatory, I suppose.

The movies aren't spectacular, but they are DEFINITELY not as bad as people make them out to be. You suppose correctly, sir- people are comparing these new films to the original episodes and that is never a good thing to do...

Nah, if no other SW episode existed, The Phantom Menace would still be a complete turd. :yuk:
 
actually just watched The Phantom Menace again tonight and it was not "that" bad ... maybe I am little more forgiveing.

Young Anakin still sucks bad ... but the rest fo the cast was fine.
 
Sorta watching part II right now, it's perfectly okay. I wish the characters had a little more personality though, all the CGI dudes like Viceroy come off stiff where they could've had some real life. Were they muppets. :dopey:
 
someone here recommended THE RETURN not so long ago ... just saw it.

fantastic film ... really dark and moody, a chillness throughout of it.
the main character Ivan totally looks like an older Haley Joel Osment from the Sixth Sense.

all you into art films ... rent this one
 
the "communism" analogies I read about on IMDB after seeing the movie, make this one that much more fascinating ... will have to rewatch it.

Oldboy, total kick ass movie from Japan.

it's a Korean movie :loco: .... but I heard some really good things about it also.

saw BIRTH last night ... really fucking weird Nicole Kidman vehicle that came and went from the theater ...
 
I saw "Kingdom of Heaven" last night. It didn't give the chills like epic war movies should, and rather plain and dull. What surprised me was little Bloom annoyed me. Definately his best performance to date.
