Alright I watched Equilibrium last night. It was pretty good, but I can't really see how/why people would think it was better than the first Matrix. (Being that it came out after it and borrowed heavily from it. If The Matrix never existed, this film would have been very different.) Nevertheless, I like dark futuristic movies and this one was pretty cool. Christian Bale does a good job. Lots of gunfighting. Deep storyline. Good action.

I'd give it about a B+. Definately worth a rent. Thanks for the info/suggestion fellas.

shaun of the dead

Day of the Dead. Wow, what an amazing movie. If anyone hasnt seen it, Id recomemd you stop reading. Major spoilers to come.





There was only one thing I could find to dislike about this movie, and it was really minor. I despise it when movies have excessive, uncalled for strong language. That aside,this was frickin amazing. I damn near cried when Bub found Logan's body, and the salute to Rhodes at the end was a great shot. Joe Pilato did a great job as Rhodes, one of the most convincing movie assholes Ive ever seen! Frakenstiens death was damn cool too. Awesome movie...

Crouching Tiger

1. I thought Brolin was great too, but i found Reynolds performance equaly good, just different. More like Jack Torrance character. Actually, the remake reminded me a lot of "The shining"...

2. One of the things that i found really great about the remake was that they actually SHOWED you something in contrast to the original that showed you absolutely nothing! Now don´t get me wrong. I too love a creepy atmosphere, but that alone doens´t do it for me, if nothing else turns up before the credits rolls. That was the case with the original and it left me very disappointet. Other examples of great atmospheric horror movies that ended up leaving me the same way are "The changeling" and "Session 9".


3. Father Delaney wasn´t an important factor for the plot in the original, that´s why he had such a small part in the new version i think. It´s the family that it´s all about and that was what the remake focused on. And i personaly didn´t like the talking house in the original. It ruined some of the creepiness for me.


4. I liked the original house too. But nevertheless i liked that the remake went in some other directions.


I think that all in all i love all that you hate about the remake, and when it comes to the original it´s the other way around.;)

Peace

:cool:

Flesh for the Beast... which sucked, the general story, people go into a haunted house to solve the problem and these demons take the form of women and the guys screw the women and then after they screw them the women turn into demons and kill them, it's stupid.

Ok...gonna see either "Saw" or "Cannibal holocaust..uncut" tonight...or both :)

Star Wars:a new hope

Which number is it ? 1?

That Lemony Snicket kids film ..

it was visually interesting but unsatisfying ...

i saw last night : Monster Squad

If anyone hasn't seen it...I'd recommend you get out more ;) :p

like i said .. its been edging out Dawn as my favorite ...

but i dont think the 'bad' language is out of place ..
its pretty tame considering the circumstances ...

I have ALWAYS liked Day Of The Dead (BUB!) better than Dawn Of The Dead...But...For some reason, whenever we have a tournament here, 'Dawn' always beats 'Day'...And I always protest....lol:D :p

god knows i love them both ... but there's just something about Day ...

I like Dawn over Day. They are both great! (Probably both in my Top 10 movies of all time too.) Day is just a little bit slower moving though and for me, that gives Dawn the edge.





A few random thoughts...







-Star Wars: A New Hope = Episode 4 (First one they ever made)




-Monster Squad KICKS ASS!




-Slasherman may not know what he's getting in to with Cannibal Holocaust. You can hear how brutal it is all you want, but nothing prepares people for a movie like that. It was so disturbingly real that it turned me off from horror altogether for a week or so after I watched it. I'll be interested to hear what he thinks when he recovers from watching it.




-Shaun of the Dead is hilarious!

IMHO "Dawn" edges out "Day" slightly.

Agree with Bwind concerning Monster Squad and Shaun.


I think I've got the wife agreeing to go to see "Sin City" tonight. As long as I tape American Idol.:rolleyes:

Tell your wife Scott is going to get the boot.;)

good show ! i hope she's not squeamish ...

She's been hoping for that for the last 5 weeks.....not that I've been watching it.....no way....not me............











go Bo

You're too funny! I'm rooting for Bo too:cool:

Damn....I guess I just outed myself.
It wasn't my fault.......the foolish show was on like 3 times a week and the big TV is in the same room as my computer.I didn't intend to watch it.........sob.....sob...but she made me...



Constatine ain't bad and Carrie Underwood is a little doll.

I'm hoping a rocker gets it this year. I'm really rooting for Bo. I think Vonzell is good, too. The only ones I don't like are Anthony and Scott. Scott has a pretty good voice but he has no stage presence. He just stands there and sings.

T3

I don't know what your talking about....I told you ....I don't watch that show.




Yes Vonzell is very good and quite attractive. She has really been bringing it the last couple of weeks.
The only honest judge is Simon Cowell . He tells it like it is. I thought it was pretty funny last night when he told Scott to pack his bags.

you guys are giving me a headache !

please dont start with survivor next - i beg of you !

Now that show is truly crap!

AAARRRGGHHH........the wife just informed me , via e-mail, that we might not be able to go see Sin City tonight. She just remembered she has a "nail" appointment.
A fucking nail appointment........this is the same broad who buys $300 Coach bags.
What she doesn't realize is that we are borderline "white-trash".

funny ? funny ??

how is this funny ??!! he's gonna miss Sin City for a fucking nail appointment !! sweet lord almighty !

he may as well go along and get his toe nails done... why waste a potential romatic trip out together this evening :D

because hes going to miss seeing sin city over a bumbass nail appointment that makes it funny...

hmmm....not a bad idea Shanks. It is getting to be "sandal season".:D

just don't get a garish colour... the misses might see it as competition and arrange another trip lol

LOL...I certainly don't have THAT problem...I 'do' my own nails...which means I either chew them off, or paint them black...heh.......And...I REFUSE to carry a purse...Also...I wouldn't pay $300 for ANYTHING except a television, and that would only be if one of the televisions I currently own, breaks......The only things I have paid more than $300 for were my cars, computer, and home remodeling...furnace, central air, roof, siding, new porch, new kitchen, new bathroom...crap like that...

I'm a cheapskate...and I like it that way ;)

i buy absolutely everything second hand if i can ... my clothes in thrift shops... etc.

the only thing i buy new that is expensive is proper sports shoes

baseball cleats ever other year,
vollyball shoes every year..
