Slumdog Millionair. Loved it. India is such a fascinating country.

District 9. Kind of like Oddworld. In the sense that what is a freedom fighter to one is a terroist to another, and what seems evil is really just a peon.

Taco 01-13-2010 11:49 PM

District 9 was Focking awesome. Anyone know if 'Witness' is any good?

Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor day.
It was really good, played out kind of like a self contained season of TPB, but it had the proper feel that the first movie didn't have.

god damn you for seeing it first. us cunts aren't gonna be able to get it for fucking ages.
YES LETO I KNOW

Pretty good, but it's an older film and most of the plot devices have been recycled a thousand times since it was made. Whatever edginess it once had is completely gone. But it has Harrison Ford dressed as an amish guy laying a beatdown on some arrogant punks.

Harrison Ford laying a beatdown on punks is just about a good enough reason to see any movie.

I'm watching Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The biggest advert for grooming since 'The Snowman'.

What lol, the Raymond Briggs Snowman? How's that an advert for grooming? I love English animated films: Watership Down, When the Wind Blows, The Snowman <3

Ah I saw Sherlock Holmes again, didn't have to pay attention to the story this time, shit was so cash. One thing i don't get is why they needed someone to navigate england's waterways, doesn't only one river run through england? Plus I still didn't catch what Adler stole from Sherlock's apartment.

Only one river? We aren't fucking St. Lucia. This is the ninth largest island in the world. We're covered in rivers. We need them to drain all the rainwater, or gills would become a rapid necessity.

District 9. It was as awesome as expected. Loved the style and atmosphere, and hope there's a sequel coming.

Mac Sirloin 01-16-2010 11:32 AM

The Spy Next Door.
It...wasn't bad.

Well, it was bad, but Jackie Chan managed to make it watchable. I wouldn't recommend it to any of you since you could get more action out of pretty much any other Jackie Chan movie, but it certainly surprised me.

5/10

Hazel-Rah 01-16-2010 11:41 AM

Bullet Magnet: lol my bad, American education system strikes again!

Used: I feel like a sequel would ruin the ambiguity, I liked how they left it up to you to decide what happens next, like Watchmen. Hurray for unhappy endings!

Why would you even want to see that?

The Book of Eli. I liked it quite a bit, the action was good, and Denzel does a perfect job in his role, Oldman as well. The movie could have lived without Mila Kunis though, one part at the end is cringe worthy because of her. Other than that really good movie. Warning though, a lot of Christian tones through out the movie as you might have guessed by the name.

I gave up on Jackie Chan after Jackie Chan Adventures.

Fuck you, that show was awesome.

Sabre-Toothed Lime 01-16-2010 01:40 PM

Just saw Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. Yes, I know it's old, but I love how the overall story is composed of various smaller, comical adventures.

That's too bad for you. The man still has it and the trailer for The Karate Kid remake was just extruding promise.

Sekto Springs 01-16-2010 04:00 PM

Wait... A Karate Kid remake?
H'oh boy.

Wings of Fire 01-16-2010 04:03 PM

Didn't they already do one of those? Wasn't it called Karate Kid IV?

Didn't it suck?

Jackie Chan Adventures was awesome.

@Hazel: But what wa something that worked for Watchmen. All of them had either departed or chosen new lives with no intentions of turning back. I think a sequel would be pretty bare. The cliff hanger was a good way to end it, IMO. In the case of District 9: That ending had a lot of loose ends. Wikus was now a full-bodied prawn probably living in hiding (how else could he deliver those metal flowers if he wasn't living under the tightened security of District 10?). Plus, Christopher vowed to return in three years with God-knows-what to emancipate his people. I would expect the sequel to follow directly after the ending of D9, and I would hope it be titled "District 10."

Sekto Springs 01-16-2010 05:31 PM

lol District 9 2.

Daxter King 01-16-2010 05:35 PM

I await the finale to the trilogy, District 9 3: Cranking it Up to 11

Mac Sirloin 01-16-2010 05:46 PM

District 9 2: District harder

District 10: Christopher's revenge.

Did anyone else think that the name Christopher was deliberate for the Alien Thunderbug? Wikus isn't a commonplace name here, right? Food for thought.

Taco 01-16-2010 06:07 PM

I read that as DirectX 10.
har-har-har

Yeah. It would've been funnier if Christopher somehow became human

No I mean here as in North America. I get that it was made by an African dude in Africa, but I thought maybe it was deliberate.

The Game.

brilliant stuff. not saying more than that. but i did ruin it for myself slightly as i saw the end a few years ago, not knowing what film it was, and then recognised it when i watched it properly.

OANST 01-18-2010 06:34 AM

I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassuss on Saturday. I really liked it. It wasn't perfect, but it was very good. Tom Waits was fantastic as the devil, and Heath Ledger was a lot of fun to watch. My only complaint is that when Heath Ledger's character is taken over by Colin Farrell, I ceased to believe it was the same character. The Johnny Depp and Jude Law parts were believable, but the Colin Farrell part was not.

MeechMunchie 01-18-2010 07:48 AM

Glee and Black Books. The former alright, the latter funny.

Sekto Springs 01-18-2010 08:39 AM

I'm really looking forward to Parnassus. It's finally showing at the local theatre.
