The Official Movie Thread

Watched Casino Royale tonight. Don't know what to think of the movie. I didn't see the entire thing, so maybe I need to watch it again.

Pathetic movie. Has no structure, just random shots of people playing poker and killing each other. It's definately the worst Bond movie I've ever seen...
 
I thought it was, easily, one of the best Bond films I had seen in a while. Then again, I'm much more of a fan of Craig's Layer Cake or even The Bourne Trilogy.
 
"Casino Royale" was pretty fucking good. I liked it much better than the ones with Brosnan. As far as The Bourne Trilogy goes, I hated them. I remember liking the first one somewhat, but I know I hated the other two, especially the 2nd one. They were so boring to me. They were very pretentious & there was too much dialog that was hard to follow. Maybe I should watch them back to back while sober to catch everything.

Last night I watched "Beowulf" & "I Am Legend". "I An Legend" was fucking terrible. To think that I wasted $5 renting makes me feel very uneasy & disappointed in myself. "Beowulf" was pretty cool though.
 
3:10 to Yuma

Why the fuck did they have him escape in the end ? It completely ruined the point of his self-imposed redemption in an attempt to give a great, gritty western a fucking happy-feel hollywood ending. Lame.
Saw the sneak preview showing of that before it came out - NYC ftw!

Anyhow...He got on the train in order to give meaning to Christian Bale's sacrifice. However, he at no point intended to face justice, and Christian Bale knew he would escape - he just wanted to get him on the train. Or at least, that was my take.

Bond isn't supposed to be a good movie, it's supposed to be tasteless, over the top, brain-melting trash.
Really liked the Bourne Trilogy, though. Thought the third one was a little weak, but the first was fantastic.
 
There seems to be a bunch of film students with a hard on for the cinematography in the third Bourne movie. I'm too lazy and too uninterested to see it though.
 
I Am Legend is totally overrated.

I liked it. It wasn't great, but Will Smith did an amazing job of acting in that movie.

There Will be Blood comes out at Blockbuster tomorrow!!! I can't wait, I'm gonna go get it in the morning so I know it won't be sold out. I've been waiting to see this movie for months now, and I'll finally get to tomorrow!
 
I watched the 13th warrior, starring Antonio Banderas. apparently a movie about an Arab adventuring with Vikings and battling "the Eaters of the Dead". not so bad. I like viking movies, overall.
