"Cowboys And Aliens" (2011)
-Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde

Plot: IMDB
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been...

Phantom's Review: HOT DAMN! This is the coolest movie I've seen in years. Now, everyone here, should know by now, that I love westerns. but I also love Science Fiction/Horror movies too, and I think it's very cool when these genres are mixed, unfortunately, 8 times out of 10 the result is pretty bad, but not this time. Plenty of great western action, good story line and excellent special FX. Harrison Ford was born to play in westerns, Daniel Craig is also very impressive and Olivia Wilde is absolutely gorgeous. This film may not be for everyone, but for me it was awesome.

I hear ya on the digging scene. The idea was great, but they failed so bad on it. It was wayyy too long, shouldve been cut in half. Also, Amy was so annoying, saying all this ridiculous jibberish that I was actually happy with the end result.

Yeah i hear you on that. She was pretty annoying and way too naive.

i watched the ward, and i thought it was boring :eek:

Yeah it wasnt anything new or original. I didnt think it was all that bad though.

cus it was john carpenter, i thought it was going to be good, but it bored the hell out of me.

Your Highness:

Holy crap what a terrible movie. I had to turn it off about ten minutes in and try again the next day. I really wish I would have left it at the craptastic ten minute mark and never gone back. I honestly cannot think of one reason to recommend this movie to anyone. Well ok, Natalie Portman did a good job, but that bring sup a serious question. Why the hell would she do this movie? The same goes for Zooey Deschanel. The infantile weed, swearing, and dick jokes were just way too much. I have just one thing to add: minortaur penis. That's right. Min-o-taur PENIS. Yeah. Pretty funny stuff. For an eight year-old. Or maybe a stoner I guess? Either way, I'm neither so this movie sucked pretty hardcore which is too bad because it looked pretty fun.


Wrong Turn 1,2, and 3:

I picked these up on bluray since it was a set for $20. The first one was fairly good, but it rapidly went downhill from there. The second and third were quite cornball direct-to-dvd quality. I just wish that the inbred hillbillies weren't so stupidly comical. They went too far with them. I think the movies would have been more terrifying if the hillbillies were actually believable. As it was they were about as scary as a muppet that had some dirt rubbed on it.

Last seen horror movie? The howling, last night. Still love the Eddie Quist character and the transformation scene. I always get the feeling the movie is underrated.:confused:

My all-time favorite horror movie. I agree with your feeling that it's underrated, I feel the same way.

Last movie watched for me was Alien.

this has been getting mixed reviews but I'm betting I'm going to like it.....being a fan of both genres as well.

A good family drama.

is ironclad any good, i keep looking at that movie ?

No it had great potential - I was really looking forward to it as it had 2 actors I really like (James Purefoy + Brian Cox). The fight seens were bloody and well done but the plot was by the numbers and pretty dull..

What a pity!!

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010)

Holy smokes. This is what film is for.

Gonna see Gladiator [2000] today. EPIC

Predator....

I can't even begin to describe how much i hated that movie. Although i can see why others would like it. Just not my type of movie.

What were some of the things you didn't like?

The acting, the stupid cheesy one-liners, the nauseating visuals, the writing, the characters, the entire thing.........

"La Moustache" 7/10

Oh yes, Lynch for sure.

Got a little slow in Hong Kong tho.


"Bridesmaids" 7-8/10

Slap me in the face and call me Susan, I actually thought it was quite funny. :eek:

The Three Musketeers

No, not the piece of crap with Charlie Sheen and company. The one released in the 70s with Christopher Lee, Michael York, Oliver Reed, and company.

:D That made me laugh

If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it. :D

I've never really been into The Musketeers but maybe i'll check it out

*slapping Angra in the face*

SUSAN!! :D

If you have read the graphic novel (yes it's based on one which came out in 2006 and is actually a pretty good read), you should know what the storyline is all about. In fact, the title pretty much describes what the movie is about.

But don't let the very-apparent cheesy title fool you. Jon Favreau has done a stupendous job after the Iron Man films in making this nice little gem which is a mishmash of three very prominent genres (sci-fi, western & action), and genre heavyweights Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell and Clancy Brown give the film an added push in terms of quality by their screen presence. The effects perfectly complement the film, and the music and cinematography add to the wonderful mood and atmosphere the film carries throughout. Keep an eye out for Olivia Wilde - she is a real stunner.

In short, go watch this film in the theaters. You will come out with a smile on your face.

Ha! I remember seeing Of Unknown Origin when it came out in the theater!

I love this movie/ I remember seeing it (and The "Four Musketeers") in theaters back in the 70's. They were truly great.
BTW, has anyone else seen the preview of the new version of "The Musketeers"?
It looks truly awful

Seeker: The Dark Rises

Yes, it's a childrens adventure, and yes I saw it with my sister, but I still liked it, even though I've watched it before.

Gonna see Gladiator tomorrow, hopefully...

"The Batman/Superman Movie: Worlds Finest" (1996)
-Kevin Conroy. Tim Daley

Plot: IMDB
Joker, short on money for his criminal endeavors, strikes a deal with Lex Luthor to kill Superman. Batman tracks Joker to Metropolis and alerts Superman to the Joker's plan. After initial distrust of each other, the World's Finest team up to thwart the villains by night. By day, Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent clash over the attention of Lois Lane.

Phantom's Review: The first of the modern era animated team-ups of Batman and Superman. A terrific film for fans. Wonderful animation, good story, plenty of action and the voice actors do a great job of bringing these characters to life. Very enjoyable.

I agree with you on the acting. It was either just god awful or extremely exaggerated, except for Rutger Hauer, who I thought was great. Cheesy one-liners....that's expected. I had no problems with the visuals, in fact, I actually enjoyed them. There were both good and bad characters, more bad IMO. I've heard a lot of criticism about "The Plague", but I thought they were a great addition. Overall, I thought it was a fantastic movie and I'm glad to add it to my collection, but I could see why some people didn't enjoy it. :)

Just watched Scream 4. I wasn't really impressed, the whole movie felt flat and recycled.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...100214317_.jpg

Not the first time i've seen this but i liked it just as much largely due to Gary Oldman's performance as Dracula.

The Final Destination
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/..._V1_SY317_.jpg

The worst of the series. This was just terrible. The acting, the dialogue, the writing...its all bad. The movie focuses so much on the 3D and just completely ignores the story which is why i hate 3D movies. The deaths in this one are also really stupid and unrealistic and i know that the deaths are supposed to be over the top but in the others they always seemed plausible. In this one stuff happens for apparently no reason. This is the only one i havent liked. Hopefully the fifth will be better.

I agree...and the big build up was over...a fire in a mall cinema?
No atmosphere, and characters you didn't give a shit about one way or another.
I thought the third one was pretty bad too - but not THIS bad.


Last night I saw a 2008 french short film called "Dix".
One of the strangest things I've ever seen...I'd recommend it, if anyone can obtain a copy, not sure where you'd look for short films...

Just finished Of Gods and Men, and am starting All My Friends Are Funeral Singers.

Exactly. I couldnt care less about the characters and that ending was pretty bad. These movies are just getting progressively worse. They're just like the Saw movies. All about the deaths and nothing else with each movie getting steadily worse...although i did think that Saw 7 was better then 4,5, and 6 but that's a different conversation all together.

*Put this in the wrong place. Fixing it now.*
