I love The Truman Show. But I think 20th time's the charm. I can go a long time without seeing it again.
|
I think the only movies I've come anywhere close to seeing twenty times are Princess Mononoke, Kill Bill, South Park and maybe Twelve Monkeys.
|
Now that we're bragging, I've seen John Carpenter's The Thing 13 times, Shaun of The Dead 8 times and My neighbour Totoro 6 times.
Not that much, but still, those are pretty much the only movies I like to watch again and again. Oh and Scott Pilgrim, but I've only watched it 2 times till now. |
Back To The Future and Rocky have been watched an endless amount of times by me. Rubber will now be a movie I shall be watching endlessly :D
|
anyone seen Paul yet? I am looking forward to
|
Haven't seen it, but I'm definitely going to see it when it hits cinemas here on June 1st.

I do like the Truman Show however. |
I watched the first episode of A Game of Thrones. They seem to have captured the feeling from the book, which is good, but some characters aren't really how I imagined them.
Special points to Tyrion and Joffrey, who are exactly like I imagined them. Also too much doggy position sex. I have a feeling Martin had a personal hand in directing. |
Now that the hype is over I might get started on Lost.
|
watched The Mist. loved it. Toby Jones is so fucking awesome, and Marcia Gay Harden is so fucking scary.

She did a great job in Law and Order as the white supremacist witch who turned out to be a cop undercover. |

I found it pretty tiresome.
I haven't actually seen it, but I couldn't resist. |

I guess I didn't search the thread tirelessly enough
That's what I get for treading old ground That was a wheely big mistake Guess I'd better start making tracks |
Has anyone seen Your Highness? because i'm thinking about going to see it and i want to know should I?
|
Can't remember where I saw it but I'm quite sure that got a bad review.
|
Probably because of unnecessary use of Natalie Portman's face.

Natalie gets her arse out in it.

Saw Let Me In. It was pretty good, I had heard it was too similar to the original movie, but it had a couple changes that made it worth a viewing. That said, I enjoyed the pacing of Let the Right One In more, and while this one didn't have awkward CGI cats, it had three equally awkward CGI Abby scenes.

Suckerpunch.
It was ok. Some of the action bits were well done. The real stuff started poorly, but got better into the second half of the movie. While the film had it's good moments, it also had lots of bad moments. I don't understand the lack of blood. It seemed silly to try and make it child friendly given the plot. The other thing that really bothered me is that at the start it seemed like a stereotypical "blokey" action movie with dancing girls and gunplay, but soon turned into something with a message. I feel that they would have been better off following that path more rather than trying to make a movie that means something. Basically, more shooty bits and less talky bits couldn't have hurt. |
All-Star Superman. It was incredibly rushed as expected, but enjoyable. Really hard to get used to the character designs and voices though after growing up with the various DC cartoons.
|
New Doctor Who season, episode 1.
Wow, I'm confused. |
Source Code was as good as Moon, it's twist and resolution were its equal. Great film.
|
God I fucking hate Contact.
|
:
It was BAD. King of Canada was correct, twas a piss-shit hole of a film. |
I saw both parts of the new Doctor Who.
I like the new direction: throwing us into a big two-parter straight away. They've also split this season into two shorter seasons to be shown this year, for the expressed purpose of being able to have two explosive finales rather than just one. Which sounds good. |
Thor
Good movie, great stinger. |
Just finished RED. Was enjoyable, but lost a lot of momentum halfway through, and had an incredibly anti-climatic major character death. Definitely something I'm glad I didn't see in theaters, but made for a decent movie night.
|
Is that the Red where the old men gets revenge for his dog being killed, or Red where Bruce Willis and John Malkovich violate Morgan Freeman through the ears?
|
I thought that RED (the one with Willis, Malkovich etc.) was pretty good.

Saw Iron Man 2. Better than Iron Man.
|
I am ABOUT to see the new Thor Movie. :P
|
We'll call you back when we get a 'I am about to see' thread.

Finally got around to watching Diary of the Dead. Been putting it off for years, but considering there's a sequel too, might as well. Sadly, Romero's really lost his touch. He never really was a good filmmaker, people only ever cared about his zombie movies, but at least those were generally high quality. This though, with the filming gimmick, didn't really work too well, and most of the characters were beyond stupid or just plain jerks.
|
I liked the "filming gimmick" in Diary of The Dead, but other than that, it was bad.
