To and from Turkey I saw two of the worst films I've ever bothered to watch all the way through. First was National Treasure: Book of Secrets (i can't remember if that's the exact title, but it sounds close enough.) Not worthy of proper commenting, it's just shit. Then on the way back I saw The Golden Compass. The dialogue was just so crap it made me want to jump off the plane. The rest was rubbish too. Gah, I hate plane movies.

 

[Vimana]

It takes place in the Australian Outback and shows the consequences of using it as a prison and neglecting it. Great, gritty western.

Oh, I think there is an Asian movie with the same title about a little girl who makes a promise to a goddess that she would become beautiful and successful but every person she loves will die or something.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

me too. my favourite critic said it might be the best american film since godfather 2. i was desperate to go see wall-e but now that's been bumped down my list of priorities

Wait - Godfather 2 was good? I don't get it. As much as I liked the first Godfather movie, the sequel bored me to tears.

 

[The Ozzman]

It's one of the best movies ever made

Can anyone recommend any good viking movies? Preferably historically accurate somewhat.

 

[muzmaze]

There are not enough good Viking movies. Just saw Pathfinder...and that sucked! When I was a kid I remember watching with my Dad, "The Vikings" (1958) starring Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis. It was a great movie for its time, and still may be the best Viking movie ever made.

Something more modern...I heard The 13th Warrior is really good.

 

[Zephyrus]

Watch the History Channel documentary on the Vikings.

 

[mutantllama]

thanks.

The Dark Knight was insane.

I saw it Thursday night, loved it. Heath really did meet the mark of the hype.

 

[Psychonaut]

Just got back from it. It's awesome!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

dammit! I've gotta see that tomorrow!

 

[MasterOLightning]

I know I'm a page late, but Saw 1 was abysmal. Terrible dialogue, unintentional comedy was off the charts. I saw this in the theater, and people cracked up in any scene with Danny Glover. Plot twists were so implausible that people burst out laughing. A truly bad film.

 

[Evil?]

Well holy shit, The Dark Knight lived up to every bit of hype I heard about it. Truly a great film, hero movie or not.

Bonus to seeing Batman: The trailers.

The Watchmen: Great graphic novel and it looks like it is going to be a rad movie as well.

Terminator-Salvation: A terminator film with Christian Bale. 'nuff said.

 

[Zephyrus]

I may have to drive all the way to Brunswick to see this. Perhaps I'll do that tonight.

 

[NinjaGeek]

My friends and I are gonna try and see The Dark Knight in IMAX next friday.

 

[no country for old wainds]
