The Bank Job

This was a fun bank heist flick. British humor always makes me chuckle and others I know look at me like I am crazy but I guess because I actually get it and they don't. The flick was very well acted and it was pretty suspenseful even though you wouldn't really think so. Just needed a bit more action in it because the action didn't really pick up until the final 15-20 minutes of the film. I guess that has to do with it being based on a true story/events.

Clerks II

I have seen this movie time and time again. I saw it in the theatres when it was first released about three to four times and then a handful of times on DVD since then and it still makes me laugh extremely hard. I think it was very well done by Kevin Smith and the way he wrote it made it come back full circle nicely.

Away From Her

A touching and impressive directorial debut from Sarah Polley. Probably not for most people here as it is an adult drama/romance dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia, but the story, acting and directing are top-notch. I have always been in love with Julie Christie and this one really brings it home for me. I cried.

Blood on Satan's Claw

&

It's Always Fair Weather

Gene Kelly tap dancing on roller skates is an amazing sight to behold and ends up being a great scene.

Very. I'm a Clooney fan myself, but I also put off seeing it for the same reason. Didn't really look like something I'd be into. Eventually, I just watched it and thought it was really good.

It's basically one of the only three good George Clooney movies. It's really good, you should watch it for sure.

Eastern Promises (2007)

It's pretty good, but it's a small, small movie. Cronenberg needs to take a few more steps with his directing if he's going to take on projects like these and make them something truly memorable.

You know, because of the cheese.

I wasn't really paying a lot of attention in the first half due to a few things that came up so I'm probably going to watch it again.


it's one of my all time favorites ..

i loved the score .. and i especially loved the ending

and the character 'Shades' one of my all time favorites in any movie

i have to admit (and i could only admit it HERE without being crucified) that it was the only movie of his i didnt like.
there were some good moments (the quieter ones) that i liked - but otherwise - i was extremely disappointed.

He should never have brought back Jay and Silent Bob - it seemed desperate - a way to try to recoup the losses of JErsey Girl (which is actually a great film)

urgeok2 03-30-2008 05:31 AM

last seen : Triangle.

a Bryan Singer made for TV sci-fi miniseries concerning the Bermuda Triangle
Uneven and dragged out in places but not bad.
half the actors look like clones of better actors ... but they do ok.
Lou Diamond Phillips is actually really good in this.

watched half of it last night - the rest goes tonight.

I seriously think Zombie is one of the worst horror directors out there.

i dunno about that.. I dont like a lot of what he does - the long dirty stringy hair look is practically a theme in his films .. but i do find him a compatent - even excellent director when it comes to recreating the feel of past genre films.

nothing else has ever captured the feel of hoopers mayhem in Texas Chainsaw Massacre as zombies house of 1000 corpses. that film impressed the hell out of me.

i think he's going to do good work once he finds his groove and branches out into more origional territory.

he had a lot of balls remaking halloween.. i didnt care for it much - but technically it wasnt badly made.

i'm very interested to see what he does next.

Technically? I thought it was beyond miserable. I'm not even a huge Halloween defender or anything, it was just lifeless. Ho1000 and Devil's Rejects I won't even go into.

I thought Rob took the sensibilities from the first Halloween and kind of combined it all with his white trash character cache while changing it just enough to piss off purists. It wasn't the best horror remake I've seen but at least he made it his own and didn't worry about holding back which could have led to a shot by shot remake with no personality.

I can understand why people liked it, but I hate everything he's done so far... I just do.

He definitely has a style that could alienate a lot of viewers but I think in fifteen years he'll be regarded as one of the top genre directors of this period. We'll see what he does next though, I'm still waiting on The Haunted World of El Superbeast...

I'm sure i'll watch his next stuff. I don't hate the guy, I just hate how he destroys his films with unnecessary things. His idea of brutality is my idea of stupidity.

Never Back Down

I have never seen so many damn cliches rolled up into one movie. This was basically a movie made from parts of like eight other films and TV shows. If you were to mix: Fight Club, 2 Fast 2 Furious, UFC (Ultimate Championship Fighting), The OC, Varsity Blues, American Pie, Back to the Future, Rocky, and Troque into a blender you would get this cliche filled horrid of a movie. I wasn't bored or anything and it didn't seem to drag on but it was so cheesily over the top and predictible that I had to laugh hysterically.

4/10

Another Day In Paradise.

Killer flick probaly the best thing Larry Clark has ever done. James Woods is a great actor... good to see him in a decent film.
