The Official Movie Thread

[no country for old wainds]

watched the first Harry Potter lastnight. cant wait for the new one.

i'm looking forward to it too, the last one was great and the same guy's doing the direction

edit: the last book's being divided into two films which is interesting. i thought the last book was weak in places.

brilliant, isn't it

Absolutely. It's so good I've been having trouble gathering my thoughts about the movie.

for those of you who enjoy The Fly, I just watched a film I think you'd like: Altered States. William Hurt plays a doctor trying to unlock man's primal self through the use of hallucinogenic drugs.

It's like The Fly but instead of insects it's monkeys! And there's also some really great visuals given that it was filmed in 1980

I saw that a few weeks ago. Good film and even awesome hallucinations.

3rd and 5th movies were the only ones i really liked

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Same with me. Emma Watson makes those films enjoyable.

Saw Burn After Reading (awesome), Towelhead (bad), and the latest Woddy Allen film which I've forgotten the name of (fucking terrible), while on holiday.

Vicky Christina Barcelona

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah that's it. Extremely annoying film.

I heard it was good, but that was from my friend who loves Woody Allen.

The opinions on Burn After Reading seem to be mixed. I didn't really like it and some people are with me, but there are a lot of people who like it.

I've never been much of a fan. We actually went to see a film called The Wackness but it wasn't showing, even though the listings said it was. We figured since we were there we may as well see something.

I found it really amusing. I loved the absurdity of the plot. To me it's a perfect follow-up to No Country. Nothing too epic. It felt like a film the Coens could have done in their sleep.

 

[unknown]

yeah. complete total opposite of No Country, but it still had the trademarks of a Coen brothers movie with an actually depressing theme if you think about it haha

 

[cookiecutter]

I think I just require a little more than absurdity to think something is funny.

Did you see Idiocracy?

 

[Personified Hatred]

i finally got around to buying the dvd the other day

I finally saw your english sucks more than mine.

^i cannot make sense of this post, which might be ironic but i don't know due to said communication problem

Mongol - I could have picked it apart a bit more but it really was a good film. Stunning cinematography and not too flamboyant.

Like seriously one of the better comedies I've ever seen.

Is this out on dvd yet?

Anyway, I'm psyched for Pride and Glory. It seems to me that Edward Norton is getting more and more mainstream, but I don't mind. He still brings so much passion and emotion to the screen.

Who here's goin' to go see DUB-YA? (i.e. Oliver Stone's new film W.)
