The Movie Thread

[Julian]

I hired Garden State a few backs and wow, what a movie. You have to check it out. Zach Braff wrote and directed it. It's about Andrew Largeman who goes back to his hometown after his Mum died. He hasn't been there since he was a kid and I won't say much more, just go get your hands on it!

[Liz]

I've got it. Haven't watched it yet.

[Steph Format]

I liked all the parts of 'Garden State' where Natalie Portman wasn't in it or when she wasn't part of the conversation. her character was sooooo irritating.

did 'Little Miss Sunshine' come out in Australia? (think family, roadtrip, yellow VW van)
I saw it in the theater and it was amazing.

[Julian]

Aww, I liked her character. I usually hate her but I loved her in Garden State

I don't think it has came out in Aus yet Steph. Could be wrong though.

[worry_rock]

I liked Garden State. This may be because I'm in love with Zach Braff but I don't know haha. And yeah, Natalie Portman's character can be annoying but it's in a really likeable way I think.

And I think Little Miss Sunshine is coming out here really soon, Greg Kinnear was on Rove last night doing an interview and promoting it.

[Ally]

I watched Garden State once when it first came out but can hardly remember it except that there was lots of swearing in it, haha. I might rent it again and watch it.

One of my favourite movies which I havn't watched in a while is Donnie Darko. Anyone else like it?

[mel_bound]

yeah Donny Darko is pretty awesome, I wanna see it again.

My fave movie is Tank Girl.. anyone else a fan?

[Macccca]

garden state was great

braffs newie the last kiss is out soon should be awesome

little miss sunshine is out soon, very much looking forward to it

[Erin]

i haven't seen donny darko, but i know that in a top 10 countdown the ABC had last year, it was like, 7 or 8. tim minchin wrote a song outlining the plot. i haven't heard it since :(

'twas very funny :(

[Jake]

I thought Natalie Portman's character was quite good in 'Garden State', her instability and quirkiness contrasted to Braff's medication-controlled life. Yeah, I'm getting into the analysing skills :p

I recently saw 'The Notebook', with Gena Rowlands and James Garner. To date, the only movie to bring me to tears. I'm not usually a soppy romantic movie person, but this was just fantastic, and very very well told. Highly recommended.

[Belinda]

I haven't seen that movie, but have heard good things.
I watched Pee Wee Herman the other night, he he!

[Julian]

There was a movie on killer ants earlier. Needless to say I didn't watch it ;)

[The Dying Start]

American History X with Ed Norton

Phonebooth with Colin Farrel

The Friday Series for a bit of the funnies.

Domino with Kiera Knightly

-------------------------------------------------------
Aussies:

Crackerjack
Bad Eggs
TakeAway
The Castle
The Craic

[Neryssah]

How much do I love The Castle :D

Suffer in ya jocks.

[Sofia]

Speaking of Aussie movies, can't wait for BoyTown, looks good. I liked Garden State, really enjoyed the soundtrack too, in an 'indie' way. Last good movie I saw was Thank You For Smoking, especially loved Aaron Eckhart and Rob Lowe in it. And Adam Brody playing a variation on the Seth Cohen character.

[The Dying Start]

Speaking of Aussie movies, can't wait for BoyTown, looks good.

I'm a huge Bob Franklin fan, and i love Wayne Hope's work too...so it should be awesome!

[Brad]

At the moment my favourite is Dazed & Confused, great movie about high school in the 70s. My favourite movie always changes though.

[Lowee]

I can't wait for Kenny. And for the Borat movie. Trashy Comedy, yum yum.

[Jake]

What do you guys think of 'Napoleon Dynamite' ?

After hearing some friends going on about it, I spotted it in my brother's extensive DVD collection and sat down with a pizza to watch it. A few funnies, an annoying lead actor and altogether a bit yawnsome... Why the cult following?

[Neryssah]

I like it, it's just nowhere near as good as everyone makes it out to be.

[Steph Format]

the fact that I heard practically the entire thing quoted by my high school really put a damper on Napoleon Dynamite. it IS something different, but ugh. Mormons are still not funny.

...there's a Borat movie? oh boy.

[The Dying Start]

Yes there is. Those of you who remember how the Kazakhstanies got all shitty about Borat on Da Ali G show....well they're REALLY shitty now that there's gonna be 2 hours of him!

[Neryssah]

I don't know why this thread isn't used more.
I'm home sick with nothing to do, someone reccommend me some movies?

[Jake]

Black Snake Moan - Ignore the fact that Justin Timberlake is in it, Samuel L Jackson is amazing in it, as is Christina Ricci. Kinda dark, and an unconventional sotry, but done well.

Prozac Nation - Christina Ricci is simply amazing in this. Again, a bit dark, but still beautiful.

Pirates of the Caribbean - for obvious reasons

The Ex - Zach Braff, about to be a father, paranoid his girl is having an affair. I watched it just on the plane over, it's pretty good i think.

[Neryssah]

Awesome, ta :)

[Jake]

I can recommend a load more when I get a chance to look at my movies.

[Sarah]

I've watched a lot of movies lately that I really enjoyed and a lot that I thought would be awsome but just didn't do it for me.
(keep in mind I generally watch mainstream crap :p )

The Good:
Shooter - well, cos there is shooting, and possibly because I have an obsession with Entourage and everything related. I quite like movies about Governments doing dodgy stuff.

Road Hogs - haha, another lame boy movie i know! it started off a bit slow, but thought it was really funny by the end. Extra nice suprise was Ray Liotta :) Guys having a mid-life crisis adventure isn't that original, but they were funny guys so it wasn't too bad!

Lost in translation. I loved it being based in Japan. I loved Scarlett Johansson and especially Bill Murray in this movie. I missed the first half an hour of it though, so that made it kind of tricky to watch to start with. Even still I thought it was great. The sort of movie that gets you thinking about you past and present relationships, well for me anyway.

Children of Men - LOVED this movie, great story and I love Julianne Moore. People had become infertile and nobody knew why. The world became pretty fucked up. Then one girl became pregnant and she was the only hope of survival...it was very cool.

The Bad:
Marie Antoinette - I loved a lot of things about this movie - soundtrack, Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, and the style of this movie - but overall I thought it lacked something. Without sounding too wanky, I didn't feel drawn into the story at all and I found the first half of the film very tedious...of course I was royally wasted when I watched it, so it may have had something to do with that :p

[Neryssah]

I finally saw Smokin' Aces last night, SO GOOD. Hot Fuzz too, but it wasn't as good as people made it out to be.

Has anyone seen Superbad?

[billygal]

I've watched a lot of movies lately that I really enjoyed and a lot that I thought would be awsome but just didn't do it for me.
(keep in mind I generally watch mainstream crap :p )

-
Road Hogs - haha, another lame boy movie i know! it started off a bit slow, but thought it was really funny by the end. Extra nice suprise was Ray Liotta :) Guys having a mid-life crisis adventure isn't that original, but they were funny guys so it wasn't too bad!


Isnt that Wild Hogs?????

[Jake]

I wasn't impressed with Children of Men - it was too similar to Chronicles of Narnia, blatantly religious.

Smokin' Aces was amzing. The best entrance ever with the smoking lift!

[Neryssah]

Yes!! Those brothers creeped me out. I liked the one who talked though.

[Kev]

Has anyone seen Superbad?

Yeah. Its pretty fricken funny.

I saw the Bourne Ultimatum last night. Pretty good. I haven't seen the other movies in that series yet.

Die Hard 4.0 I've seen a couple of times now. That is quite good. You know if a movie is good if I've seen it more than once at the cinemas.

I've seen Transformers 5 times at the cinemas now I enjoyed it that much.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Transformers is THE BEST movie ever!! :D

[billygal]

I'd have to agree on Transformers anything that can keep my son tranfixed for that long has to be good :P

[E.B.]

I've seen alot of movies lately, Die Hard 4.0, Bourne Ultimatum, The Simpsons. All of them have been really good but yeah I have to say that Transformers is the best movie I have ever seen

[Sarah]

Isnt that Wild Hogs?????

haha, yeah....

[Sarah]

I wasn't impressed with Children of Men - it was too similar to Chronicles of Narnia, blatantly religious.

Smokin' Aces was amzing. The best entrance ever with the smoking lift!

I really didn't like Smokin' Aces, again, was looking forward to it but found it to be very average.

oh and I was very impressed with Die Hard, it could have easily been crap, but it wasn't :)

[Neryssah]

Yeah, I liked Bourne Ultimatum. The filming was attrocious though, especially in the chase/fight scenes. I felt like I was wearing seizure goggles or something.

I've got Superbad downloading at 73%, orright! :D

[fordchick888]

i've seen The Bourne Ultimatum at the cinemas twice now, 1st time me & my sister felt sick the whole way through due to the shaky camera work (was gonna blame it on dodgey pop corn!).
Best advice is to sit at the back of the cinema, it was an awesome movie when i got to actually enjoy it 2nd time around! :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm watching Pirates of the Carribean atm..
it's a funny movie

[Neryssah]

Just finished the original Dawn of the Dead.

Superbad comes out in Australia on the 20th, everyone should see it because it's hilarious.

[Sarah]

Yeah, I liked Bourne Ultimatum. The filming was attrocious though, especially in the chase/fight scenes. I felt like I was wearing seizure goggles or something.


Saw that a couple of nights ago, it was very hard to watch...i was thinking i needed new glasses, my poor eyes couldn't keep up!

watching Say Anything at the moment. Easily my favourite movie, it's so sweet :)

[Jawn]

I went DVD shopping nuts over the past few days. Got them all cheap as chips though which makes my bank account sort of like me.

I got:
Sin City
Pulp Fiction
Taxi Driver
Casino
Scarface
Carlito's Way
The Libertine
Imagine
The Untouchables


Has anybody seen The Worlds Fastest Indian? Probably one of my favourite feel good movies ever.

[Neryssah]

That's pretty much the greatest list of movies ever. Good work, ol' chap!

[Jawn]

I haven't seen any of them ever, so it shall be fun.

[Grumma]

i thought saving private ryan was the best feel good movie ever

[_jimmy_]

i agree, especially when the soldiers get onto the shore and theres one guy running round looking for his arm. God, that made me feel great. :P

[Grumma]

Hey, makes you appreciate havin both yours :p

[Neryssah]

I don't know why but that just reminded me of this movie I'm looking for, it's a war movie, and there are all these American soldiers, and one of them pulls a grenade pin and sits on it and he's just yelling out "I BLEW MY FUCKING BUTT OFF!" and does anyone know what it is?

And I've been trying to think of what it is for ages and I can't.

[Grumma]

have you tried googling "I blew my fucking butt off!"

?

[Neryssah]

I'm not game to. Imagine the results I'd get :p

[Grumma]

uh, just don't click the non-movie ones?

[Ally]

I think it's called the Thin Red Line.

Yes, I googled it. :p

[cdejonge]

I finally got around to watching The Simpsons Movie last night. It was pretty good. Quite short though.

[Neryssah]

So I saw Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels today. It's pretty friggin' cool. Made me want to go to London and get a dodgy accent and use bad rhyming slang and play lots of poker.

Also The Number 23, I really liked it, but apparently nobody else does :(

[Sarah]

Number 23...not from what i've seen at work, it's very popular!

I really should start watching more movies now thats my job an all :p

[Neryssah]

That would be an awesome job. Just out of curiosity, do people who look stupid/annoying get out bad movies?

[Sarah]

not necessarily.

you can tell the anime people a mile off, and of course the porn people are easy to spot as well.

whats really funny is my sister got me a crappy $2 dvd for xmas as a joke. In my first week I have had 3 seperate people hire out the same dvd, very funny :)

[Neryssah]

Ohhh, funny porn dvd story. Well not really funny so much as gross, but anyway. A friend of mine used to work in a video store and someone brought back a porno and it had... "stuff" on it.
Then the same friend bought a mobile and it was broken so she sent it off to get fixed, and when it came back it was loaded with porn.

Poor girl was traumatised.

[Sarah]

ewww! some people are just sickos! i don't think we should be allowed to rent it out, sometimes its just a bit icky...

[Neryssah]

What's really dodgy is when in some video stores the adult section is right next to, say, the music section, so you're standing there having a look at the music dvds and all the people walking past are glaring at you and then you realise how suss it looks :p

[Sarah]

yeah, our porn is right in the middle of everything...not very cool!

[damo0945]

i only realised recently that our video shop even has a porn section... it's quite secluded...

[Colezy]

Why buy/rent porn when you can download it?! Or even make your own, much more fun that way :p

[Neryssah]

Hahaha, you'll put the industry out of business! :p

[Kacky]

Speaking of porn...haha, when I was uploading something on Megaupload the other day, it had an Ad at the top that said "Don't upload porn here, go to Megarotic.com". :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

I'm watching Team America atm..funny as!!

[billygal]

watched Hairspray on the weekend but that is almost as lame as High School Musical dont recommend seeing it. Now watching Miami Ink I know its a TV show not a movie but at least they dont break out in song every couple of minutes!!!! Need my sanity back :)

[_jimmy_]

Hairspray is this generations grease??? Fuck off, hairspray was fairly crap.

Watched Shooter yesterday, was a pretty good movie and makes you wonder if the US government is that corrupt...

[worry_rock]

I haven't seen Hairspray yet... I'm a bit reluctant.

I've got the original at home, but it's nothing to write home about. But the new movie is a musical, or so I've heard, which the original is not. So I'm semi-tempted to go see it, because I am a terrible, terrible person that just loves musicals. I'm not even kidding.

[billygal]

even for a musical lover it is pretty lame think High School Musical I didnt mind the original but the new one was bad. Watched it for travolta in drag and his voice ended up getting on my nerves.

[Madtwins]

Watched new Hairspray too - way worst than original one. SO different. Can't say it's a crap but this movie are for grandmoters and for kids.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

My mum is one of the stupid-dvd getting people. It's not necessarily because she is stupid, she doesn't know anything about movies. So she just kind of wanders around the video store looking for something that might sound like it interests her. Then she gets home and watches it and is dissapointed.

And I really liked hairspray, but yeah, im another horrible person who loves musicals and all things homosexual.

[Julian]

I don't think ive seen anything new recently but Little Fish is a very good movie and you should all go hire/buy/download it.

[_jimmy_]

I was suppose to watch that for Philosophy last semester but missed out for guitar lessons! lol.

anyone seen Dirty Sanchez the movie? one of the most funny/disgusting movies ever.

[Neryssah]

I got home today and I've won tickets to see Superbad.
Very conveniant seeing as I don't get paid til next week and have no money, but was planning on seeing it on Tuesday :)

[worry_rock]

I got home today and I've won tickets to see Superbad.
Very conveniant seeing as I don't get paid til next week and have no money, but was planning on seeing it on Tuesday :)

As we speak, I am wearing an oversized McLovin tshirt that I got at the Melbourne premiere :)

I got photos with the boys! Then I saw Jonah Hill a few days later just randomly shopping where I was.

[Neryssah]

SCHAWEET.
I love McLovin. What a spunk. Going to see the movie again this arvo with FREE TICKETS.
:D

[Strider]

hahaha, how funny is it! I love that part where the old guy is on the bus and he's like "oh I know who you are, Mcmuffin!" lol
And the cops through the whole movie hahaha AWesOME.

[Jake]

I bought Orgazmo on DVD the other day. I remember I saw it on New Year's Eve last year and it was pretty funny. Plus Ron Jeremy is in it..awesome.

[Kacky]

I haven't watched any movies for a while, just parts of some. I saw half of 10 Things I Hate About You in health class and missed the other half due to an appointment. And then the next day we ended up watching a little bit of Grease.

[Sarah]

10 Things I Hate About You is one of my favourite movies.

I watched Blast From the Past last night, love that one too.

As you can see I like silly girly love stories :p

[Neryssah]

"It's like having two cocks, and one of them can kill people."
"Can I hold one?"

<3!

[Kacky]

I watched Blast From the Past last night, love that one too.


Ah, I haven't seen that movie in ages. I loved it when I was younger. :p I actually forgot about it until you mentioned it.

[Sarah]

"It's like having two cocks, and one of them can kill people."
"Can I hold one?"

<3!

how was it??

[Strider]

Go see Stardust, friggen awesome. Loved it.

[Neryssah]

how was it??

I love it so hard. It was even better in cinema than I thought. SO GOOD YAY.

I heart the cops so much. SO SO SO MUCH.

[Ally]

What's the one with the dark hair's name? He was a bit of alright.

* Ahh, it's Bill Hader. Bless IMDB.

[Neryssah]

I don't know the actual actor but I think the character's name is Slater? Something like that...

[atomgal]

What's the one with the dark hair's name? He was a bit of alright.

* Ahh, it's Bill Hader. Bless IMDB.

So I'm not the only one who thought that!

[Johnny_Wah]

I saw Rush Hour 3 today. Not bad, but that evil chinese lady is totally rank.

[Grumma]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbFuW_Jkbg8

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I bought "the science of sleep" last week but I havn't got around to watching it yet. I think i'll watch it tonight.

[Neryssah]

Just finished watching a remake of an old Romero film, I think it's Land Of The Dead? Anyway it was absolute shit, DON'T MESS WITH ROMERO ARGH.

[Neryssah]

Natural Born Killers is superawesome. The end.

[Brad]

Just finished watching a remake of an old Romero film, I think it's Land Of The Dead? Anyway it was absolute shit, DON'T MESS WITH ROMERO ARGH.

Land of the Dead is a Romero one. The one with Simon Baker yeah?

[Neryssah]

Yep, that's the one. I always thought it was a remake, now I'm all disappointed because Romero's gone to shit. BUGGER :p

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

It seems Julian started this, not cam.

Anyway, who else has seen the darjeeling limited?

[Neryssah]

Not me, but I might see it tomorrow. It's either going to be that or I Am Legend and I really don't want to see that :(

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I hate that some people in cinemas are just really dumb. They showed the "Hotel Chevelier " short film first and after the credits rolled on that one, there was a lot of mulffed WTFZ?!? going on. RELAX People! Its not over yet!

[Ally]

I wouldn't mind seeing I Am Legend. I don't have a clue what it's about, except he's the last man on earth or something, but the trailer looks interesting.

[Marv From NZ]

I cannot wait for 'There Will Be Blood' to arrive in cinemas. That movie is apparently the greatest thing since Shawshank Redemption aka greatest movie ever. Shall be ace.

[Neo]

I'm going to see Alvin and The Chipmunks with my cousin sometime :D how fricken sweet does it look! ah the memories

[Kacky]

I would go and see Sweeney Todd, but my local movie theatre doesn't have it playing!

[Grumma]

Didn't Canada ban Brokeback Mountain?

[Kacky]

No. 10 Characters.

[Rosie]

i saw ps. i love you the other day.

its cute.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Grumma, do you know ANYTHING about the world?

Canada isn't like, Saudi Arabia or something.

Speaking of Canada, I really have no idea how to identify a Canadian accent. I guess theres just so many American accents that I just can't tell a Canadian accent from an American one. I know there's the stereotypical "aboot" and "eh" but beyond that, I just cant tell!

I know im about 2 years too late, but my god brokeback mountain is a boring movie.

[E.B.]

I saw I am Legend yestersday, was a pretty sweet movie, though there are a few bits which make you jump!

[Sarah]

I got out Shoot Em Up last night. I quite liked it. Lots of guns and good music! The thing I liked the most about it was that it realised it was a silly unrealistic action movie, so it went all out :)

[Neo]

Speaking of Canada, I really have no idea how to identify a Canadian accent. I guess theres just so many American accents that I just can't tell a Canadian accent from an American one. I know there's the stereotypical "aboot" and "eh" but beyond that, I just cant tell!
to me they kinda sound like they have a bit of an irish or scottish thing going on when they speak!

[Kacky]

Would you guys like me to say a few sentences for you? :p

[mel_bound]

aboot aboot! :p

[Deadcat Kaye]

haha
I find that any american I've spoken to, they slow their sentences down and notch..Canadians don't.

hmm
Move thread aye?
CRY BABY FTW!!

[billygal]

Saw I am Legend have to say I didnt mind it also watched Saw 4 which I thought was going to be crap and was pretty good had some nice twists in it

[Grumma]

It couldn't possibly have been as bad as Saw 3

[billygal]

yeah saw 3 was a bit lame compaired to 1&2 but 4 explains 3

[billygal]

Just show me one decent horror movie coming out and I will be happy

[Grumma]

the best thing about Saw 3 was my ex almost puking :p

[billygal]

hehehe then take her to see 4 cause its alot more guesome in parts

[Grumma]

Haha i'll suggest it to her, but i doubt she'll be too keen after last time :p

[Strider]

I saw that new Aliens vs Predator. I should have just flushed the $30 down the toilet rather than tramming it to the city and wasting 2 and a half hours of my life.

[billygal]

that bad huh. My 6 yr old is hanging out to see it

[Strider]

Well, it was watchable. just not the kind of movie I'd usually go and see. But anyone who enjoys watching predictable, blood and gore movies would probably enjoy it. In saying that I haven't seen any of the other movies so I don't know whether it's better or worse than previous ones.

[Marv From NZ]

lol the original Predator and first 2 Alien movies were badass. Great action flicks!

[Strider]

The only line I know from the original is when Arnie says "Get to da chopper!!!" lol That was probably the funniest part in the new movie cos the guy did a spoof of it.

[Marv From NZ]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO@!!!!!!!@2!!! They spoofed that line! FFS!!!! That was a classic line lol!

[Grumma]

tbh "If it bleeds you can kill it" is a far more memorable line

[Kev]

I saw 'I Am Legend' last night.

Quite enjoyed the movie. My date jumped a fair few times and some guy in the theatre popped a bag or something when it went really quiet at we were waiting for something to jump out.

Classic. His partner gave him a good smack over the head.

All in all 4 out of 5

[Sarah]

Just watched Black Sheep. Very funny, very silly, in a very Shaun of the Dead...but it was still good. Love that the New Zealanders took the piss (tha puss) out of themselves :)

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

oh yeah, I thought Black Sheep was hilarious. I thought that guy the farmhand guy, (I think he was maori) was especially good. I saw it a while ago now so I cant remember his name.

[Sarah]

yeah, he was great, I'm glad he came back again :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

Just watched Black Sheep. Very funny, very silly, in a very Shaun of the Dead...but it was still good. Love that the New Zealanders took the piss (tha puss) out of themselves :)

hahahaha one of the best/worst films eva
tops it off at the end with the sheep fucking
typical kiwi's

[Colezy]

I don't think I've even heard of Black Sheep...what's it about..besides sheep fucking... :p

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

haha, not much else really :p

Its basically a really silly but hilarious movie from new zealand, very cheaply made, about something or other turning sheep into evil killers. By something or other i mean some man made genetically engineered thing.

[Colezy]

haha ok then :p I shall check it out someday soon!

[Deadcat Kaye]

VOILA!!! YOU NEEDA WATCH THE TRAILER XD

Black Sheep Trailer (youtube) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bkG3QEEnDM)

I think I posted it up awhile ago but ohwell

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

My favourite line (i had to look it up) Is when the chick says "I thought you of all people would appreciate efforts to deconstruct the colonialist paternalistic agrarian hierarchy that disenfranchises the Tangata Whenua and erodes the natural resources of Aotearoa."
and then the guy says something like "so what university did you drop out of"

[Colezy]

I think I saw something about it on TV not long ago..pretty sure it wasn't on here...hmmm.

"I thought you of all people would appreciate efforts to deconstruct the colonialist paternalistic agrarian hierarchy that disenfranchises the Tangata Whenua and erodes the natural resources of Aotearoa."

Ha! That's a mouth full!

[Sarah]

what? you couldn't remember that line? pft

haha.

I like how it went over her head and she started explaining how she didn't get to classes or exams because of whatever reason :)

[cdejonge]

I saw The Golden Compass last weekend. It was a bit all over the place and like half a kids movie, half an adults movie. Also like they tried to squash heaps into too small a time. Was interesting enough to watch though.

[Sarah]

I watched Gattaca and Slither last night.

Both great, but i've seen Gattaca before.

Slither was awsome, so funny, so gross, so much Nathan Fillion. Loved it! I can't believe I never watched it before, I'm going to have to buy it now :)

[Deadcat Kaye]

I saw I Am Legend last night....
It was good but not great...
Few jumpy bits
But yeah, Good movie

[Infiction]

I saw the golden compass last week sometime...

PG? what the crap?

[Jake]

I saw Lust, Caution today, it was fantastic. Ang Lee strikes again, beautiful cinematography and some really good acting.

[Jonnno]

Ah gay, I was late for the Black Sheep talk! :p

[Neryssah]

I can't wait to see Juno, anyone else?

[Jonnno]

Yes I would love a roland juno.

[Sarah]

watched Pulse last night (purely because it has Kristen Bell in it). But it was incredibly crap (except for Kristen Bell) so I gave up and watched the pilot of Gossip Girl instead :p

[Jonnno]

Actually I watched Almost Famous last night and that was pretty good.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Yeah, Juno looks pretty cool. I think I love Michael Cera.

[Kev]

Going to see American Gangster tomorrow night. I've heard good things about it, but I'm not keen on Rusty though..

I saw Golden Compass last night, didn't like it. I don't think Nicole Urban is that great of an actress. Daniel Craig is a good actor though. Looking forward to the next Bond movie

[worry_rock]

Yeah, Juno looks pretty cool. I think I love Michael Cera.

I met Michael Cera at the melbourne Superbad premiere, and the guy next me says to him "This chick is in love with you" (he plays George Michael in my favourite tv show ever of all time in the whole universe, Arrested Development). Suffice to say, it was really embarassing.

I watched Across The Universe and I love this movie! I think I am in love with the actor who plays Jude. The sequence and the use of I Want You (She's So Heavy) was really, really good. Wasn't expecting Bono or Salma Hayek to pop into the film either.

I saw a movie called The Jane Austen Book Club which I really liked. I actually kind of want to read her books now. I think I tried reading Sense and Sensibility once and I didn't like it. Also, Death Proof is pretty good as well. Kurt Russell is cool!

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

You have to read Pride and Prejudice and then watch the BBC version. Or do it the other way round if you wish.

I ran out of Jane Austen to read so i'm reading a choose your own adventure style book written by someone or other. There is so much fan-fiction style stuff that has actually been published. Its crazy.

I feel a bit weird about having a crush on Michael Cera because he's pretty young. I feel weird about liking anyone younger than my sister.

[Neryssah]

I saw Juno last night, it seemed pretty good :)

[Strider]

I watched Across The Universe and I love this movie! I think I am in love with the actor who plays Jude. The sequence and the use of I Want You (She's So Heavy) was really, really good. Wasn't expecting Bono or Salma Hayek to pop into the film either.


I saw that on the plane back to Perth, that was horrible haha what a bizarre movie.

[Jake]

I really wanna see Juno, that chick was awesome in Hard Candy.

I saw Cloverfields last night, pretty damn good.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I saw Juno this afternoon. I lik,ed it. It really funny btu sweet as well.

Juno kinda reminds me of mirm. Sans the being knocked up bit.

[Watty]

I saw Transformers for the first time today, was pretty good!

[Sarah]

Watched Pump Up The Volume today.

I quite liked it, but it really is my sort of movie - so that's no suprise! Christian Slater, good music, a love story, and general late 80's early 90's coolness :)

[celeste.end]

Last movie I saw was Juno. FanTASTIC, I thought.
Of late I've also seen: I serve the King of England, The Darjeeling Limited, Atonement, 2 Days in Paris, 27 dresses, The Kite Runner and Enchanted. All of which were also fantastic (except maybe Enchanted...)

I'm kind of a film buff. :o

[Deadcat Kaye]

I saw Cloverfield on tuesday.
It was fair good apart but it kept moving so much coz the storyline is about someone recording everything themselves.
I have fucked eyes so one can only imagine the painful headache I had for the rest of the day.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

anyone seen sweeney todd yet?

I hope to see it this weekend.

[May]

anyone seen sweeney todd yet?

I hope to see it this weekend.

Lu went and saw it yesterday (I opted to see Atonement again), and she said it was really good. Little bit gory in places.

But the thing that she really liked was hearing Mr Depp sing. Having watched Cry Baby like a zillion times, she was used to James Invelts voice, so to hear Johnnys actually singing voice was 'cool'.

[Jake]

I saw it tonight and I reckon it was awesome. The only other showing of the story I've seen was a school play, so this beat it hands down. The singing, the costumes, and the story was adapted (and extended) fantastically. Really recommend it.

[worry_rock]

But the thing that she really liked was hearing Mr Depp sing. Having watched Cry Baby like a zillion times, she was used to James Invelts voice, so to hear Johnnys actually singing voice was 'cool'.

Here's some trivia. In Cry Baby, Johnny Depp does actually sing once in the film. It's when they're in the car singing along to the radio (before they reach Allison's car and start singing "Gee" by The Crows. :)

I just went and saw American Gangster. It's good, pretty intense though.

[atomgal]

For some reason, I thought Johnny Depp wasn't singing in Sweeney Todd... not sure where I got that idea, though.

I want to see that one, but I think I'm going to see Cloverfield tonight. Maybe I'll sit a little farther back to prevent headaches. :)

[Kacky]

There's actually a few movies I want to see right now, it's a tie between Sweeney Todd, Juno, Cloverfield, and 27 Dresses.

Edit: My local theatre doesn't have Sweeney Todd anymore. They get the movie late and they take it out like a week and a half later. :mad: Oh well, I guess it saves me money. I'll just wait until I can rent it for 4 bucks or so.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I just saw Sweeney Todd! I loved it, so much awesome.

I think I may be the only person who has come out of that movie really craving a meat pie. I don't even really like meat pies.

[tiny_kim]

I absolutely loved Sweeney Todd. So good. Juno was also excellent. I'd recommend seeing both. :D

[Kacky]

I had a mother-daughter date today and saw Juno with mom. I really liked it.

[Marv From NZ]

Seeing No Country For Old Men on Tuesday. Shall be swell...

Really looking forward to February the 14th when There Will Be Blood comes out. The cinematography and acting, in particular Daniel Day Lewis, looks really spot on in that film. Can't wait...

Oh...and then there's this movie called RAMBO that comes out at the end of the month...

[billygal]

Sweeny Todd - Hard to watch with all the singing but its ok

[worry_rock]

I can't wait to see the new Indiana Jones!! I love Indy...

Because Harrison Ford is obviously older, time has passed in the movies as well, and this one is set in 1957.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls (I think that's what it is) - out in May! :D

[Grumma]

in Zoo they had a whole heap of reviews for what looked like a whole host of shitty sci-fi comedy films coming out so I'll be sure to see a few of them ^_^

[_jimmy_]

RAMBO~ i cant help but think of rocky now!

"i did it adrian,yo adrian i did it"

hes all battered and bruised. He's what? late 50s? and hes doing rambo

I too want to see there will be blood.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Boytown was on TV last night and I found it to be pretty horrible.

I suppose it had the potential to be good but ugh, it just had me cringing most of the time.

[Kev]

Boytown was on TV last night and I found it to be pretty horrible.

I suppose it had the potential to be good but ugh, it just had me cringing most of the time.

I had to see it at the movies. There were lots of people laughing at stupid scenes that weren't funny.

[Kacky]

My mom and I are going to see Definitely, Maybe sometime this week. My mom LOVES Ryan Reynolds and I think doesn't want to miss it on the big screen. :p

[billygal]

This week I have watched (yes I have no life )
The Mist- Really shitty ending (opinions others who have seen it?? it made me ill)
John Rambo -pretty good when you consider the guy is in his 60's (i think)
27 Dresses- ok but your typical chick flick

[_jimmy_]

i saw 27 dresses...you could guess what was going to happen!!
still havent seen the dewey cox story (anyone seen it?)
And i want to watch there will be blood

[worry_rock]

I saw Jumper tonight. It was pretty decent, I liked it. Wasn't satisfied with the ending though.

[_jimmy_]

Saw 10 minutes of Sweeney Todd. The scene where Sacha Baron Cohen comes out and challenges johnny depp to a shaving competition?

pretty funny...dont like the british accents though!

[private_eye]

saw no country for old men on sunday

it was gooood. but i understand why people have been complaining about the ending. Shagur is one psycho freaky ass character

[rymo]

juno is pretty good funny movie i think

there will be blood is confusing with the ending not sure what happen there

[rymo]

rambo is good of course

[_jimmy_]

i still want to go watch that. Isn't it R18?

I thought Meet The Spartans sounded good but i saw the ad for it on TV...seems pretty shit house.

Rambo got 1 star in alot of reviews

[rymo]

whats r18

rambo is great i don't see what more u could want from a film

[_jimmy_]

I was talking about Rambo.

[rymo]

not sure i watched it online

[_jimmy_]

hahaha fair enough.

One movie I've been planning to see for awhile is This Is Spinal Tap. From what i hear its pretty funny.

Anyone here seen it?

[mel_bound]

WATCH IT. every music fan should!!!

[worry_rock]

It's decent, but it's not that fantastic.

And that's also like saying every music fan should watch, for example, Blues Brothers. I personally think that type of music is brilliant, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

[mel_bound]

I guess you're right, but I loved it. I also love the Blues Brothers :D

[Kacky]

Spinal Tap pwns! I love that movie!

[Strider]

Spinal Tap pwns! I love that movie!

Spinal Tap is friggen aweeeesome.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

actually, i'm with charissa. Its good but I didn't find it to be as awesome as everyone says.

[Strider]

Because people expect it to be this masterpiece full of excitement and entertainment, the thing that makes it so good is the fact it's just stupid haha And most people just don't get or miss half the jokes. I reckon you have to watch at least 2twice to appreciate it. That movie was 20 years ahead of it's time, no-one "got it" when it was made!

[Kacky]

Some of the song lyrics you have to pay attention to as well!

Everyone should get what Sex Farm is about though. :p

[Grumma]

Most of their lyrics are pretty straight forward.
Most of the songs are basically Queen rip offs though lol

[Kacky]

Mom and I went and saw The Other Boleyn Girl tonight, was good, but probably would've made more sense to me if I knew a little more about Royal history. The costume designs were fantastic.

[Jake]

I really want to see that one, it looks like it has the potential to be a good movie.

Has anyone both read and seen the movie of 'The Kite Runner'? I haven't seen the movie yet and was wondering how it comapred.

[_jimmy_]

I have not heard of The Kite Runner.Whats it about?

I want to see Be Kind,Rewind.

anyone heard of it?

[Kacky]

Be Kind, Rewind looks alright. It reminds me of the skit "Blockblister" that was on the Amanda Bynes show. :p

[worry_rock]

Has anyone both read and seen the movie of 'The Kite Runner'? I haven't seen the movie yet and was wondering how it comapred.

Gah, we were supposed to read that in year 12. I didn't read it though, but I wrote on it so I know how the story goes and stuff. Really not my type of thing, but most other people I know really liked it.

I recently bought Beyond The Sea on dvd. It's the story of Bobby Darin featuring Kevin Spacey as director, co-writer, co-producer and acting as Bobby Darin himself. It's kind of a non-traditional biopic. I enjoyed it.

By the way, is the story in The Other Boleyn Girl true? I was really interested in Henry VIII when I was in primary school.

[Colezy]

I haven't been to see a movie in YEARS!! :(

I really wanna go and see something now!

[Jake]

I have not heard of The Kite Runner.Whats it about?



The Kite Runner is about a well-off Afgan boy and his servant's son, who is of a different ethnic group (Hazara). I don't want to spoil it for people who haven't read it and want to, but he basically betrays him, and then later flees to America when the Taliban come into power.

Despite all the rage reviews about it, I don't think it's as amazing as people have said, but I did really enjoy reading it, it's quite well written and the story is beautiful. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet - it's not overly political, it's more personal.

[Kacky]

By the way, is the story in The Other Boleyn Girl true? I was really interested in Henry VIII when I was in primary school.

I asked the same question to my mom, and she said it is a true story.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I saw 'run fatboy run' last weekend and it was ok, I guess. Pretty predictable but funny enough.

[Sarah]

yeah, we saw that last weekend too. there wasn't much on, so that's what we went to. I quite liked it, I was expecting it to be really crap, but I quite like Simon Pegg, and it totally inspired us to go for a run that night! :p

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

hehe, it it meant I could look like thandie newton i'd run all the way to tasmania.

[Jake]

I really want to know if Dylan Moran's arse was an arse-double or not.

[The Dying Start]

NEVAIR! He's far more classy than to have an arse double.

[The Dying Start]

I just watched "The Lookout". It was pretty good. It's about a guy who gets fucked up in a car accident, and his struggle to have anormal life, and then he essentially gets sucked into being a lookout during a bank robbery, and he manages to overcome some of his issues in order to save the day.

It's nowhere near as sappy as i just made that sound, and there are some pretty decent performances in it. Oh, and you get to see Isla Fisher in her knickers.

[_jimmy_]

I saw a bit of Meet The Spartans....one word to describe it....shite

[Sarah]

Watched a few movies recently.

Waitress - Has Nathan Fillion in it, so it's good :p haha, it was alright, sweet and girly, but alright.

Death Proof - one of the best scenes (http://youtube.com/watch?v=tS6VRfJbI4c). I get sick of Tarantino's extended dialogues, but he made up for it once again with a whole load of bloody violence! The chick who got a lift, and the last 1/2 of the film was just great.

also got out the other Grindhouse film, but fell asleep about 10 minutes into it...

[Neryssah]

About to see There Will Be Blood, fingers crossed it's as good as I think it will be :)

[rymo]

About to see There Will Be Blood, fingers crossed it's as good as I think it will be :)

It's good... strange however.

[Colezy]

Cos I haven't been to the movies in several years (:() and cos I have a shiteload of free new release vouchers for video ezy, I went and rented:

Knocked Up
Shrek 3
December boys
Heartbreak Kid

I only had limited choice cos i could only chose from the new release section and you can only borrow 4 NR dvd's at once.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

How come you havn't been in so long?

[Sarah]

cos Nicole is like an week or so away from a city.

what's December Boys like? My doofus, soon to be ex boss only ordered in 3 copies of that movie to rent...um, good move eediot.

[rymo]

Inc. Bruce Willis on channel 9.

[Sarah]

mmm, yummy!

[Colezy]

cos Nicole is like an week or so away from a city.

what's December Boys like? My doofus, soon to be ex boss only ordered in 3 copies of that movie to rent...um, good move eediot.

Yeah I live forever out of Hobart :p

Haven't watched December Boys yet. Will do either tonight or tomorrow though. Am watching more Lano and Wooley right now! :D And then I might watch some Carl Barron too...mmm, comedy night!

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Yeah, I thought it was something like that. At least you get the benefits of fresh air, right!?

I think i'm going to go te Alliance francais french film festival sometime.

[Colezy]

Ohhh yeah. LOTS of fresh air!
I wonder how Sarah is coping with the lack of fresh air where she is!? :p

I'm going to watch December Boys tonight :)

[Sarah]

it's okay where i am, i live on a hill :p

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I just saw 'hey hey its esther blueburger.' I thought it was pretty good really. There wasn't many people in the cinema despite there being loads of people outside. People don't like Australian movies, or something.

oh, and last week, I saw 'step up 2- the streets' because my sister dragged me to see it, lolz. It was craptastic and even she though so.

[Kev]

I saw Alvin and the Chipmunks today.

I heard negative reports, but I didn't mind it. Wouldn't have paid to go see it though.

I also bought Planet Terror today, so I might watch that after Mythbusters tonight. And I need another installment of I Am Legend too I think. I've only seen it 12 times. haha,.


Smith is one of my favorite actors,.

[billygal]

I I Am Legend too I think. I've only seen it 12 times. haha,.


Smith is one of my favorite actors,.

Sanity is advertising a copy with a alternative ending that caused contriversy (cant spell today brain is on holiday's)

[worry_rock]

I think i'm going to go te Alliance francais french film festival sometime.

I like french movies! I tend to watch them on tv if they're on. I haven't seen many but my favourite is 8 femmes (8 women). It's soooo bizarre. Watch it!

[Strider]

I saw "The Departed" yesterday. Pretty awesome movie!

[Brad]

Yeah, The Departed is awesome. I've actually been meaning to bick up Infernal Affairs, the movie it was based on. It's meant to be heaps better

[Kev]

Sanity is advertising a copy with a alternative ending that caused contriversy (cant spell today brain is on holiday's)

Yep Yep. I've pre-ordered teh Blu-Ray version through ezydvd. The controversial ending should be good.

Don't highlight or quote this if you don't want to know what happens:

At the end, there is a standoff between Smith and the Alpha male. Smith gives the antidote to the Alpha Male and they all disappear. Smith, the girl and her son go to Virginia to the refoooge camp. Also there is a love scene between Smith and the Girl somewhere in there too.

[rymo]

I'm so tempted to highlight it but I haven't even seen the movie yet.

[_jimmy_]

much better!!!

its got 4 parts? the first one,a prequel,a spoof (by the same guys who made the original) and the conclusion?

i have them but havent gotten round to watching them :p

[Jake]

Seen Irréversible? It's a similar idea to Memento, but executed much more successfully. Plus a bit of Monia Bellucci naked doesn't go astray.

[Strider]

much better!!!

Never heard of the other ones, only watched it cos my mate brought it over and I was surprised that it ended up being pretty good.

[Neryssah]

I watched Hard Candy again today, it's nowhere near as disturbing the second time around haha.

[Kev]

Seen Irréversible? It's a similar idea to Memento, but executed much more successfully. Plus a bit of Monia Bellucci naked doesn't go astray.

I just bought the soundtrack to this just before.

Haven't seen the movie though.

I made friends with some french people a few nights ago, and I mentioned this movie to them last night and the guy reckons it's good but intense (ie 15 minute rape scene??). I'll give it a squizz. Would they have it at your average blockbuster/video store...?

[billygal]

hehehe I love a challenge. However this doesnt sound controversial it sounds a bit lame. I think I will stick with the ending I saw

[The Dying Start]

What movie do youse suggest I see?

[Julian]

Nothing that interesting out at the moment. I thought Run Fatboy Run was ok.

[billygal]

the eye with Jessica Alba looks good

[Jake]

Yeah there's a pretty brutal rape scene. But if you can handle all the shock-violence in movies these days, then it's pretty standard along those lines. I haven't been to a blockbuster or anything for 10 years or something, so not a clue.

[_jimmy_]

the eye with Jessica Alba looks good

only because Jessica Alba's in it!! :p

[Strider]

ANY movie with Jessica Alba in is worth watching. No matter how crap the plot lol

[Jake]

Just like 'Into the blue'

[Colezy]

I'm pretty sure I've seen that for rent at either video ezy or video city..don't know about blockbuster cos i don't go there at all.

I only know that i've seen it at one of them cos my friend pointed it out one day and told me about it.
