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

[teknetic]

The Cove (documentary on dolphin slaughter in Japan) was excellent. On par with Dear Zachary in terms of cringe worthy.

Absolutely excellent. I was glued to the t.v. when I watched it. Blood Dolphins: A return to the Cove is the follow up.

[NerfBall55]

Damn. Never saw the original and this looked pretty interesting. Still going in the Netflix que.

It's a decent enough movie. Not what it was described as, but good enough to watch. Liked it, didn't love it.

[Jax Teller]

Anyone see The Final? Kinda creepy revenge flick about bullied kids setting up classmates & torturing them in horror movie fashion

[teknetic]

Decent premise, but the entire last 25 minutes was just terrible.

[Jax Teller]

Yeah I fast forwarded the last half hour or so but it was alright. Not bad for a netflix rental.

[teknetic]

If a Netflix film isn't available for streaming, I just use quicksilverscreen/icefilms.

[Jax Teller]

Last time I used a site like that, it got shut down & said something about the government wanting every users IP addresses or some sh*t. Whether that was a scare tactic or not, it sure as hell worked on me

[RhodyYanksFan]

Indy IV - almost on par with Rocky V for not existing anymore. The opening scene was awesome, and I knew that there would be an Ark cameo.

The action scenes were pretty cool, but overall it just felt forced. Also, Indy in the jungle can't compare to Indy in the Middle East.

George Lucas just sucks. No other way to put it.

Never seen a movie with her, but she's gotten prettier as she's gotten older.

Watch Chloe. It's hard not to like her.

She's hawt.

[Hitman23]

Wasn't she in Jennifer's Body? I thought she was cute.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Yeah I heard about that. I also have had a huge crush on Julieanne Moore since the mid 90s so I will have to check it out.

I don't say this about many girls but I'd eat her ass.

She's great on Big Love. Too bad she won't be on the show anymore.

I just watched Layer Cake. As British crime movies go this one was pretty awesome.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Thinking more about Indy IV and it's even worse than I thought. Even if it didn't have the fridge incident (which apparantly "nuking the fridge" is the new "jumping the shark"), it still wasn't very original. Indy once again gets involved in the main plot due to someone he knows being kidnapped trying to find the same thing (like in Crusade). Also, his colleague turns out to be working for the bad guys (like in Raiders).

There's so many stories that can be done with that character. So many historical relics. Why the hell they chose Aztec aliens is beyond me - especially when the movie was made after the success of something like The DaVinci Code which brought Vatican history back to the forefront of society.

You may not be able to leave the house for a few days.

Wifey might take offense to that.

Excellent film and one of my favorites of the 2000 decade.

Nah, it's perfectly safe.

The sites may get shut down (though the one's I mentioned probably won't) but you wouldn't get in trouble because all they're doing is posting links to upload sites where you can watch the movies/shows/etc.

[Sam18]

Great movie, I loved it as well. The ending is superb.

[Melan-cynic]

The ending is superb.

Great ending. Also the hottest Sienna Miller ever did/will look.

[Sam18]

Yes oh my god yes I was hard.

[NYDCYankee]

I think she is hot anyway, just something about her. But man she is off the charts smoking hot in the film.

[flymick24]

i just saw "family man" for the first time... nic cage usually bothers me, but he was actually half decent in the film

also, tea leoni was effing smokin'

Agreed all the way around. Another good Tea Leoni movie that fell under the radar: You Kill Me.

[NYDCYankee]

Just watched "The Machinist" and I know alot of people rave about it. But I actually thought that it kind of sucked.

I think what I didn't like most about it was the background music straight out of a 1930's horror movie.

[Hitman23]

I have to say I am really looking forward to "The Town". I may see it this weekend. I'm no fan of Ben Affleck but I'm going to give him a chance to change my mind. This role looks promising.

I think it looks great too. And I do believe him to be a great director, because Gone Baby Gone is one of the better movies of the last few years.

But it looks like he does everything in this film. What Jon Stewart called yesterday "The Full Eastwood". Should be interesting to see how it shakes out. He got a great cast together that is for sure.

[Melan-cynic]

Based on an excellent book "Prince of Thieves" which is worth reading before/after seeing The Town.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, he co-wrote the screenplay, acted, and directed it. Apparently, when he met with Jeremy Renner, Renner asked him how he planned to juggle everything. Affleck said, "I have no idea" and Renner signed up on the spot.

Looks to be a great flick. Can't wait to see it.

I saw Resident Evil: Afterlife this evening. I really liked it but there was too much Matrix type slow motion which annoys me after a while. I saw it in 3D because I didn't want to wait another hour to see the regular version. There were only two other people in the theater besides me. I usually like an empty theater because people can be loud and annoying when I'm trying to watch a movie, but the empty theater was a little creepy because of the type of movie I was watching. ;0) I thought it was worth the money.

[BxBomber44]

Thin Blue Line, 1988 documentary by Errol Morris. Pretty good

Sweet. I really can't wait to see that movie. I've been seeing a lot of that Matrix slow-mo stuff in movies for a few years. Doesn't really bother me anymore, it seems it's become it's own genre.

"The Road" came in from Netflix last night. Gonna try to watch it tonight. I think it was critically acclaimed but either did nothing in theaters or was in real limited release.

I read the book and didn't love it as much as others. Don't know how it won a Pulitzer.

I don't believe any movie can capture the hopelessness of the novel. I was really and truly depressed while reading the novel, I don't think I want to go through that again.

The most depressing POS I've ever seen, turned it off after 30 minutes because it wasn't going anywhere. One can only take so much of Viggo's raspy voice talking about how much life sucks for so long.

[Hitman23]

That was one of those books I always meant to pick up when I went to Borders but just never did because it got bumped for something. That and "World War Z".

I'm definitely going to see the movie. I love post apocalyptic sh*t.

Excellent film and IMO the standard for documentary filmmakers. Fog of War was excellent as well.

The Road was an OK novel, but the movie was nowhere near as good as the book. The McCarthy book I'd like to see turned into a movie is Blood Meridian, but they'd probably botch that too.

[Hitman23]

I just read a little about that book and it sounds pretty good. Thanks for dropping the name I'm putting it on my list.

WWZ was awesome. I didn't read it, but I got the audio version from the library. Instead of just a guy reading it, they had a full cast. Really well done.

[Hitman23]

I've heard nothing but great things about World War Z. A buddy of mine is loaning it to me when I give him the word. Right now I'm in the middle of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", "Duma Key" and I'm re-reading "The Wastelands" (Dark Tower III). I can't handle another book right now.

WWZ was a good read - was a bit disconcerting that humanity's biggest fail took place in Yonkers

Right down the street from my mom's house.

[Hitman23]

Pretty interesting generic slasher flick I found

"My Soul To Take" by Wes Craven

[Bozidar]

Saw "Let The Right One In", the movie that they based "Let Me In" (2010) on.

It was interesting, a little creepy, a little disgusting, but entertaining.

[Hitman23]

I was reading an article about David Fincher and they rag on M. Night Shyamalongadingdong with the following:

Considering that his films have been getting worse and worse, it's puzzling that anyone would sign M. Night Shyamalan to any sort of multi-picture deal, but that's exactly what Media Rights Capital did when they allowed him to create his Night Chronicles label. The result has been audiences booing his name during every screening of the trailer for Devil.

meanwhile, the very site this is on has advertisements for the movie all over it.
