Which movie(s) have you seen lately? - Episode IV

[Dachs]

and the janitor is an fbi agent.

That really distracted me too. I was sitting there thinking he's going to call him "Nancy" or something isn't he?

Or sufficient distraction. Live and Let Die didn't have Q, but Jane Seymour was in it. Olga Kurylenko has nothing on Jane Seymour.

Live and Let Die had Sheriff J.W. Pepper for epic suck, but was marginally superior to The Man with the Golden Gun (which also had epic suck) because Jane Seymour >>> Maud Adams and Britt Ekland.

I have the movie on my desktop. So yes. Not a gadget in sight.

The cell phone was kinda gadgety but more believable than the other gadgetry in a Bond film. So yeah...not too many gadgets in the film, sadly. It's almost as though it's Dr. No and From Russia with Love again.

It's a drama based on the life of an Irish priest who gets imprisoned in a Turkish jail for a crime he didnt commit.

Hahaha, I wonder if he later becomes an airline pilot played by a distant relative of mine.

No comments on Turkish Star Wars?

Not bad enough to be as amusing as Troll 2 et al, but not good at all. I saw it during my old "hate all Turks" phase, too.

Howl's Moving Castle

Really, really good

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Marley and Me.

Good movie. My fianceé is a huge dog lover, but I told her I now have misgivings about getting a puppy together . . .

 

[classical_hero]

The Wrestler. This is a must see movie if you are into wrestling, like I am. Yo will still enjoy it even if you don't.

 

[Ace of Gold]

Just finished watching Defiance. Daniel Craig was very good but the movie failed to express the true emotions and challenges of the Jews in hiding. Nevertheless, It is a good war movie and definitely worth the watch.

 

[Agent327]

La sconosciuta ('The unknown', i.e. woman) by Giuseppe Tornatore. Gripping story, beautifully shot.

 

[jeps]

Slumdog Millionaire was great. The fact that the questions were in roughly chronological order i find weird, but w/e, its a story.

and interesting to hear that about defiance. i might go see it soon.

 

[Aramazd]

Just saw Gran Torino. It's an excellent movie and Clint Eastwood is great. However, the end is depressing.

 

[Enkidu Warrior]

I just finally watched The Godfather for the first time. It was very good, but it was loooong, and it was paced kind of awkwardly.

 

[Agent327]

The weather man, with Nicholas Cage and Michael Cain. Nice one.

 

[PeteAtoms]

Just saw RocknRolla. I recommend it, it had its funny moments and reminded me of 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." I give is a 7.5/10

 

[West 36]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Great movie.

What happens?

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead: If you like your movies all happy and full of hope this may not be your kind of film. On the other hand if you enjoy watching people messing up their lives and the lives of their family and friends Sidney Lumet delivers a pretty heavy dose of failures and despair.

Basically the film is just another "crime gone wrong" story but unlike most of its kind it offers no comic reliefs at all. Also it's one of the few films where non-chronological narrative is actually working and jumps back and forth in time really seem to benefit the story.

I liked this one quite a bit so 3.5 / 5.

 

[Ace of Gold]

1408

God, really creepy. Great movie though.

 

[eastsidebagel]

Terminator 1 and 2. A very good made piece of action and a cool plot behind it.
P.S.: For once in your life, watch "Being John Malkovitch" while being high. It's totally worth it!

Full Metal Jacket, inspired to do so by Subi and LadyDarkSide (from the CnB community). Still as epic as ever.

I heard from some movie critic that Full Metal Jacket is the most violent movie in history. I love it but I also go for Apocalypse Now.

What? Which critic? I'd say Apocalypse Now! is many times more violent that Full Metal Jacket.

The former used to be my favorite Vietnam movie. But after I saw Full Metal for a second time, I dont know. R Lee is just so awesome.

 

[Lord Parkin]

Just saw Mercury Rising. Okay, but kind of lame - especially some of the dialogue scenes. And the "bad guy with the gun" was horribly cliched.

Plus of course, you also have to suspend disbelief on the plot. (Little kid cracks puzzle and telephones hotline, government decides to: Ignore him? Recruit him? No, kill him of course. )
