Obsessed.

Beyoncé's an irritating actress. That's all I can bother saying about the movie. Snore.

MissKittyFantastico 13-10-2010 04:26 PM

Couple's Retreat, it was god awful.

Shaun 14-10-2010 03:14 PM

Amelie.

WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE?
It was amazing. Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal doses.

I Borrowed Batman: Under the Red Hood from a friend and watched it again, For an animated film that I originally thought was for kids it was amazing. Easily stands with the Nolan films.

Finding nemo :D

Adventures in Babysitting - I used to love this film when I was young so decided to give it another watch.

Lost Boys 3 The Thirst - I never even knew there was a third one, its a lot better than the last effort and has some references to Sam (Corey Haim) still doesn't compare to the first one though.

Sorry Setanta your quite right...Millers Crossing was on the other week aswell, gave that another watch...I love the existentialist/nature of morality theme running through all their films, good stuff

They're a very special filmmaking duo, that's for sure. Very intelligent but always with a taste for the bizarre and random. Never fully know what to expect in their flicks, and yet you always know a Coen brother's film... it's unmistakable, which is to their huge credit considering that they've really experimented so much in the films they produce.

Oh, and watching the Enforcer right now. One of the Dirty Harry flicks that I haven't seen in years and for a sequel it's not half bad. Suppose that has something to do with good old Clint though.... the man had it. You know he wasn't the first person they wanted in the role? Mad stuff when you watch them now and can't even consider anyone else in the part.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Amazing just so good!

SoBig 17-10-2010 09:33 PM

Just watched Splice. Oh.My.God. What a weird movie.

GypsyGoth 18-10-2010 01:27 PM

The Social Network, it was ok, well made but it was kinda sad.

AJ. 18-10-2010 01:42 PM

Sweeney Todd, really good but gruesome. Borat is in it aswell hah

Jessica. 18-10-2010 01:43 PM

Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.

Twilight 18-10-2010 02:07 PM

Jaws 2, LOL.

InOne 18-10-2010 02:33 PM

The Firm (2009) Was better than I remembered, nothing on the original but still a good watch.

Ammi 18-10-2010 03:21 PM

I had a DVD day yesterday and watched Blind Side and Event Horizon last night - both good movies

That's a very underrated flick Twilight. I actually quite enjoy it.

I Love You, Beth Cooper

Really funny, love Hayden :love:

MissKittyFantastico 19-10-2010 01:58 PM

Frozen.

Fantastic chiller (literally!) obviously made on a smallish budget, the idea is a very simple one but one of the most effective physcological thrillers I've seen in a long time. Made me laugh, cry and hide behind my hands (although there are really only a couple of gruesome scenes). Really good acting from relative unknowns, and aside from a couple of slightly silly coincidences I thought it was brilliant. Makes you think about what you would do in that situation. Would recommend it to anyone.

setanta 19-10-2010 02:02 PM

I've watched a few recently...

Get Him to the Greek. I felt that the film, although quite funny in places, didn't strike the right balance between realism and it's outlandish moments, which is probably down to the narrative arc - it doesn't have one really - with it all being an excuse for endless moments of debauchery and madness, which I wouldn't have a problem with usually, but the attempts to anchor it in truth didn't sit well with me at all. It felt really awkward and untrue in parts.

Having said that, there's some moments that I wont forget in a hurry but yeah, the whole thing didn't amount to anything really.

Machete. Now this is my type of film. Crazy, gratuitous and very stylishly shot in the style of 70's exploitation flicks, this feels like something the South Park team would do if they had any skills at directing live action. It's all very silly fun with over the top violence and dialogue, but I love the social commentary going on within it too, where you have disillusioned Mexican illegal immigrants at one stage going at it against corrupt law enforcers.

I mean, who wouldn't love to see a Mexican beating the shi^ out of people with gardening tools, Lindsay Lohan dressed as a nun taking pot shots at anything that moves or DeNiro as a right wing Senator shooting down illegal aliens as the try to get over the border? It's just madness, and I really loved it.

setanta 19-10-2010 06:05 PM

Predators.

You know, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. True, it's not a patch on the original and borrows heavily from it at times, but there's enough going on to keep you interested and the action is handled very well, with Adrien Brody - who's casting I had originally gasped at - aquitting himself very well in the role, moving into the hard boiled mercenary role with ease. Forget about the rubbish that followed the original; this is it's true sequel. Nothing special but enjoyable enough.
