Rambo IV.

Better than expected

Still need to see.

I watched V for Vendetta for the second time last night, other then a few holes I'd say it was a fucking fantastic movie and not only a certain amount thrill, but was quite thought provoking.

excellent

I watched this recently for the first time in years.

 

[The Ozzman]

I still need to watch that movie. I've read the book though

You would love that movie.

Good movie, Hunter S. Thompson is an absolute genius, I have a friend here who is obsessed with him. She showed me some of his writings, and they're amazing.

Watched Leon again the other day, it's a damn fine movie and Jean Reno is supoib.

Indeed.

A friend and I were actually tripping the first time we saw it probably around 16.

Your sig is logically fallacious tbh

So No Country for Old Men got Best Picture.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Predictable

 

[cookiecutter]

I was rooting for There Will Be Blood but No Country was a fantastic movie

 

[unknown]

I'm extremely happy. No Country got best film and Daniel Day Lewis got best actor.

faith in the academy = restored

 

[seedofvengeance]

I still haven't seen There Will Be Blood. No Country was pretty good, though... I just had to take a few to think about it.

I just saw Michael Clayton yesterday. It was good. George Clooney is a good actor, but terrible director, so it was a relief to see him limited to acting.

 

[General Zaroff]

Just watched Dead Alive...

What an awesome movie

I heard Syriana was good, though.

 

[Zephyrus]

Just watched Dead Alive...

What an awesome movie

The location for the opening scene was also used in Return of the King. Hard to believe Peter Jackson directed both those movies.

Yeah, the guy knows how to make movies, whether it's an epic movie or a horror movie.

have you seen Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind?

There Will Be Blood was an amazing movie. Daniel Day Lewis deserves any award for Best Actor. The ending was probably the best ending to a film I've seen in quite some time

I caught this movie last night finally (I was the only one at the late viewing too - felt like a King with a huge theater all to my self! It was the late show, and most of you know I work from home for myself so it ending at 1am didn't bother me!).

I agree this movie was absolutely amazing. At 2 hours 38 minutes I was curious if there would be any dull spots, but it did not disappoint at all. Had a few twists and turns along the way as well which was refreshing to see. Daniel Day Lewis is flat out amazing. I loved him in Gangs of New York, and the character he plays in There Will Be Blood was similar in many ways. Most of the acting in this film was above par actually. I highly recommend checking it out.

Another highlight for me was the sound track. Wow. It is more of a - hm how to say this - as opposed to being what you are used to hearing with flowing music and what not, it's more of a mood soundtrack with music and sounds intertwined. For example listen to my favorite sound bit from the movie here (opening sound as the site loads): http://paramountvantage.com/blood/ - I friggin loved when that came on screen - mixed with what's going on in the movie it was just a "chill you to the bone" moment for me. I liken it a bit with the underlying soundtrack to the Texas Chainsaw remake. More mood music than a flowing soundtrack of full orchestra.

ANYwayssss.... a must see. Oh, and I agree with unknown about the ending. The acting there... WOW. I'm curious how much that was scripted and how much it was potentially ad-libbed.
