The Off Season

Even though it has Angus Scrimm in it....avoid at all cost.

Independence Day SE

Saw Land of the dead last night...I gotta say, I can't see why so many people let the zombie "evolution" thing make this a bad film for them, I mean, it did more or less START in day of the dead, and no-one was complaining then.
Good atmosphere, well suited score, acting....as expected.
My main criticism is the over-cg'd gore, that and it SEEMED a little short. Other than that, I thought it kept the Romero tradition pretty well, and I enjoyed it.

Afterwards I came home and watched some of a Jamie Oliver dvd called "Jamies Kitchen"...fairly interesting idea...

Definatly an odd combo for me tonight...Local video store has a 2-for-1 deal on weeknights, usually we get one my whole familly will watch, and for for just me or just me and my Dad. So, here's tonights selection:

Racing Stripes : Yes, the one about the racing zebra. And yes, Ill admit to laughing from time to time. Mostly at that damn pellican...



Then came the really good stuff.


SIN CITY : Having heard so many great things about it, I was beyond psyched. And wasnt let down at all. Best movie Ive seen in a very long time. Loved how they all tied in with each other, loved the stories, loved the style. If you havnt seen it, see it ASAP. Incredible movie.

Fargo.

I love it, baby.

conquest

Kung Fu Hustle....It was okay...But, I hate reading movies...

he he, better stay away from those foreign titles then ;)

I have lots of asian films, I don't mind reading subs.

I kinda miss what's happening on the screen, if I'm reading the dialogue on the bottom...


Just watched Team America...

a few seconds into a film and i dont even realize i'm reading them

same here. I find if I'm tired, reading the subs holds my attention and keeps me alert.

you need to learn to multi-task

she stubbornly refuses :rolleyes:



:D ;)

strange they havent dubbed it......its a common thing with martial art movies......

"French Connection 2"...again....

i guess it depends on how fast you read ..
it takes a fraction of a second to quickly scan the lines then your brain digests them when you're waching the picture ...

the end result is you actually think you're understanding the language - almost...

I was actually wondering, if I watched enough asian films for long enough, I'd be able to pic up some of the language... watching an asian film is a bit like one of those learn a language cd's, except you enjoy the film aswell.

i doubt it - not unless you have a real gift ...
you may get a word here and there ..

i've learned a bit of cantonese through a past girlfriend and workmates but that enabled me to recognize the odd word
in a movie - not the other way around.

the sentance structure is too different - there is nothing obvious and the pronounciation is very different from what you would learn taking a course too - plus with all the different dialects - man its hard to learn.

i think you'd need something far more intense than the occasional movie - you need to speak it and practice it every day ..

well suppose we should be happy she can type with more than one finger

*ducks and runs for cover

I'm the same way, subtitles do not bother me at all. Would much rather read subtitles then watch a dubbed film. That irks me. Though it can be amusing at times.

Watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind at the moment. A movie I adore. :D

HaHa...I was actually gonna say that MYSELF:D



Ass








I typed THAT with TWO fingers :p

There's something (more) about Mary 2 disk edition, on dvd.
I hadn't seen T.S.A.M for a few years, and after such time, it was great to see I still found it hilarious. One of Stillers best, for sure.
I wanna see more movies released on dvd like this - in this edition, there were extra scenes that were incorporated into the correct places during the film, I found this really added to the value of the dvd, not to mention the extra scenes were very cool, throwing a few small storylines into the mix. The extended doggy fighting scene had me on my ass laughing.
Nice bunch of "making of" extras, interviews and behind the scenes type stuff too.
I'd highly reccomend it to fans.

Now, I havnt seen TSAM, but the new editions of the Alien movies have that feature...I watched Alien 3 with them turned on.....IMO they made it WAY too long and boring. Much better without. I guess a comedy would be different though...





Anyway, I just watched Blair Witch Project again. I had a friend over, and she'd never seen it, so I suggested we pop it in...great idea. She loved it, I had fun too. [Great movie, great girl...what more could ya want?]

Last seen movie
 

I saw Constantine last i think.

deranged - 30th anniversary collectors edition with the missing spoon sequence

until now, you had to watch the main guy eat his stew with a fork .. spilling all over the damn place.

Godzilla superbit.

certainly cuts out 10 minutes of footage thats not needed in the film......



.....but it was a belly laugh

About Schmidt

Theatre of Blood

Still one of the best movies Ive ever seen

Chupacabra Terror


Wow. WOW. Soooooo bad. But it did have one of the stupidest lines in a movie EVER that I thought was funny.

"I don't wanna be given the mushroom treatment."

"Mushroom treatment?"

"Being put in the dark and surrounded with shit."

Lucky for her, she was hot.

Does the cover have a picture of the Chupacabra in a news clipping or something like that?

Heh...almost rented that last week. My better judgement told me not to...for a change I listened:p

Your thinking of this one.

different movie

Thanks


That's a different one and I'm sure he's right about it being pathetic so I'll stay away from that one and rent the one I was referring to which will probably suck just as much.

Awww....it's so cute!

Yeah, I thought it would at least be the sort of bad where its so bad its funny... but it wasn't even that. Like, there were marines that didn't do anything marines would do, and everybody's just throwing around grenades on this boat and all that happens is steam goes off... just blaaahhhhh

land of the dead... finally.


my only beef with it is that it was too short and that i missed simon pegg and edgar wright's cameo. other than that, it's good to see romero's back.

"Ringu 2" and "2001......."...... again....

cut and run
