The "I just saw a movie that doesn't warrant its own thread" (Version 2.0)

[LDG]

Well part of it is a war movie.

Doesn't cut it. War movies with romance ANYWHERE isn't a war movie in his book.
They only benefit is the lingering amorousness I might bring home with me.

p.s. Thanks Rhod(e)y's. I'm not surprised!

[Sam18]

I am going to watch it because it looks pretty good.

[bronxbomberz212]

i saw david copperfield a few days ago. it was made in 1935. it was extremely weird, i could barely understand what the hell th actors were talking about and couldn't really understand the point of the movie itself.

[Sam18]

Anyone seen the Speed Racer trailer? The movie will suck story wise but the visuals are like an orgasm on the eyes. Like this is what live action anime looks like.

[xenochimera]

i saw no country for old men, kind of interesting.

[a-RobinsonCano-Fan]

Jus saw Superbad for the 2nd time. Its unbelieveable how that stupid humor can be so funny.

Wow that looks like a horrible movie.

Oh so like Gone with the Wind. You've convinced me, this movie is gonna be totally awsome

[DaBomber25]

I really want to see “Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead”.

[4bronxbombers]

Oh be quiet.

[Sheff_Rod]

"I Am Legend" was alright, I expected it to be a lot better. They showed us a screener here.

[THEBOSS84]

I saw Live Free of Die Hard - didn't love it. One of the most unrealistic action movies you will ever see.

Cuz you know action movies are realistic.

[CallOfTheCrow]

I don't know why, but I watched Alpha Dog the other night. Wow....everyone of them needs to be throat punched.

[THEBOSS84]

I know what you mean, but this one was WAY over the top. Nothing like the previous 3 in terms of unrealisticness (if that's a real word).

[Sam18]

I know what you mean but I didn't mind. I went in there thinking the movie was gonna suck but was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was really good.

[JeterForPresident]

I agree some of it was a little over the top, not so much the action, but the fact that McClane was able to do some of it. Had it been a younger character, it might have been a bit more believable for me. In the end it didn't bother me, because seeing McClane again was great. That being said, it never really felt like a Die Hard to me, especially after repeat viewings. I don't know why exactly, but I never felt like he was in real danger and never felt like he would lose.

Saw The Wind That Shakes The Barley the other night. Flat out fantastic movie, if you are Irish, it is a must see. Also a must see if you are a Cillian Murphy fan.

I've been meaning to see that for a while now. Never got around to it. I'll add it to my list.

[Toaderly]

Watched "Rescue Dawn" last night (Christian Bale, Steve Zahn, Jeremy Davies, and a cameo from Francois Chau from "Lost"). Bale never disappoints. I was glad we had finished eating a few hours before we watched it though.

[DrNick]

Went to go see Hitman last night....meh...still say Jason Statham would have been a better choice for Agent 47.

[RhodyYanksFan]

I read they originally wanted Vin Diesel for the role but, surprise, he wanted too much money. Which is why he makes things like The Pacifier now.

[krystl]

No one saw the preview for The Bucket List? I thought it looked pretty good.

[RhodyYanksFan]

I mentioned it a while ago in the other movie thread, looks good

Oh, I didn't see that. I have only seen one commercial for it.

Ughh. Long, boring and uneventful. Bale was good, movie wasn't.

[gdn]

Transformers. What an awful movie.

I suspect the book written by Dengler ("Escape from Laos" the book the movie was based upon) would be much more interesting. I did some research on him and discovered Eugene DeBruin (Eugene from Eugene) is still listed as a POW/MIA, Duane Martin's body has never been recovered, and that Dengler died in 2001 of ALS and is buried at Arlington.

Transformers. What an awful movie.

Agreed. Not enough singing and dancing.

[Evil Empire]

Agreed. Not enough singing and dancing.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Saw Knocked Up last night, kinda long. Good movie, but not a side splitting comedy

[krystl]

Transformers. What an awful movie.

I didn't really care for it either. I only watched it for the car.

[PinstripePride]

Whoever doesn't like Transformers has no soul. Sorry Krystl.

[Sam18]

Greatest thing you've ever said. Couldn't agree more.

[RhodyYanksFan]

You're high.

QFT!

[Sam18]

You're high.

He thought Superman Returns was a great movie.

??? There are people who actually like that "movie?!"

On the time warner cable tv guide they gave it 3.5 stars out of 4. The same guide gave Gladiator a 3 and Batman Begins a 3. Yes.

[LDG]

Atonement won't be around Fairfield County for a little while longer apparently. I was all set to go on Saturday but it was NOWHERE. Closest I could find was in NYC.

If I get motivated, I may walk to the theater tonight to see it.

Where is it????

[SalingerNY]

We saw it about a week ago, and were pretty disappointed it wasn't much better based on everything we'd heard.

How does Superbad compare? We haven't seen that yet.

[Sam18]

Friend of mine saw Superbad and said its vastly overrated.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Superbad is a lot funnier, its joke after joke. There was a lot more to Knocked Up than comedy

[4bronxbombers]

Where is it????

West Hartford: http://www.criterioncinemas.com/blue-back.html

Shoot. Someone told me it was here this week. Oh well....hopefully next week.

Looks like it's opening 12.21: http://www.criterioncinemas.com/coming-attractions.php

omg...Kiterunner. I read that book and loved it. That's coming too. yay!

[YankeePride1967]

I THINK Atonement is playing at the small theatre in Bethel, CT starting Friday.

You're right...I saw that in today's CT Post, but Bethel? Why Bethel??

[YankeePride1967]

I actually like going there, they use real butter for the popcorn instead of that oil. But it may also play in either the Bridgeport or Fairfield cinemas.
