The Official Movie Thread

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Oh yeh sure. Alien is by far the more scary of the two (Although when I first saw the Queen chasing Ripley and Newt to the dropship, I did almost shit myself, I was about 10 though). Espicially when one see's it for the first time. But I prefer the constant action of Aliens, and you prefer the suspense and atmosphere like you said. Just a choice of perference really. I do love both films though.

aliens is a good film for sure, but the single alien in the first movie is so much more menacing than the billions in the second film. alien is based on creating masses of suspense and atmosphere, aliens is based on cool ass action, i completely prefer the former.

You make an excellent point. Alien is certainly a better film in terms of quality, but if I had to choose between watching either or the two, I'd choose Aliens. It's just more enjoyable for me.

The third movie... not good. The fourth? Well, I don't recognize it's existence.

I've wanted to see this for a while, big on symbolism right? I just hope it doesn't go overboard and lose the message.

Yes. The symbolism wasn't too overpowering but that could've been me just missing things. Lot's of religious symbolism including it being in two parts, the main character being a savior of sorts and then ending with a self immolation

Seen The Last Legion.

Pretty awful film TBH. Only 3 fight scenes, and just when you expect something awesome to happen, it doesn't and it all ends crappily

Anyone here seen the movie Serpico?

I saw a poster for it in the movie Boogie Nights and was wondering what any of you thought of it.

I don't know if any of you here have heard of the Insomnia Film Fest, but a friend of mine here at UMaine took part in it yesterday and here's his film.

A few glances at the campus in the film. Not bad considering he had 24 hours to write, film and edit it.

Yea. It was a good movie. Not a art film by any means.

 

[The Ozzman]

I haven't seen it but it's by Sidney Lumet so it's guaranteed to be fucking awesome.

And you were right.

An awesome film with an awesome lesson.

 

[fates warning 666]

He also directed Network, a top 10 film for me if not top 5, Dog Day Afternoon starring Al Pacino which is ridiculously entertaining, and 12 Angry Men - a classic of course. The Hill is supposed to be excellent too although I've not seen it.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I just laughed my way through Dawn Of The Dead. (The Re-make)

 

[genocide roach]

recently saw:

kung fu zombie- well, its no versus, but i was amused. good fight scenes, and cheesy acting.

the crawling eye- meh, there wasnt much to it. crawling eyes kill people, they drop bombs on it, mankind wins.

~gR~

 

[DarkBliss]

Oh, the paint by the numbers horror movies where physically improbable grotesqueries invade. Gotta love those.

 

[DarkBliss]

Next in line, colossal flying hotdogs infected with radiation get a lust for destruction and rain highly corrosive acidic mustard that melts people and buildings.

 

[genocide roach]

sounds like an attack of the killer tomatos part 2! the killer hotdogs turn the killer tomatos into killer ketchup!
~gR~

 

[DarkBliss]

Hmm, never watched that one, but the name is familiar.
There is also a similarily-themed episode in Caroon Network's Courage the Cowardly Dog show. About monstrous vegetable hybrids. I think the tomatoes in that episode were crossbred with wasps or something.

 

[cookiecutter]

I liked Courage the Cowardly Dog a lot

 

[zoidberg]

that show owned.
