Who said anything about buying?
Funny, actually, my fired mentions to me Today "So, I saw BEE Movie yesterday." (he takes it in the bum for seinfeld) anyway, I say to him, "oh, it's out in Belleville?"

and he says "No, I saw it on the internet."

And at that moment I pictured Havoc and his girlfriend sitting on a pair of computer chairs, ogling Johnny Depp and giggling madly to each other in a hormone charged furry love.

Eugh.

This sounds like a cool thread.

I just saw The Simpsons - 'Grift of the Magi'.

A surprisingly great episode for a surprisingly awful season. It's funny, clever, and exciting.

8.5/10.

I just recently saw Jumanji for the first time in a while recently, and it was still pretty good.

I also saw Ratatoille and Meet the Robinsons and surprisingly they were both pretty good. Fairly predictable, but good none the less.

Saw Smokin Aces for the first time last night. Worth a watch but I'd only buy it if it was cheap. Highly amusing in places but not ANYWHERE near as conclusive as I would have liked

Saw three things recently:
  1. The Fountain. Good soundtrack, but extremely depressing movie. A pretty obvious attempt at being deep/non linear, but good nontheless.

  2. Heima. It was yay, thats about all I can say, in this hizzay of bizzay.

  3. Big Train. Some of it is shockingly bad, others are kind of amusing. Simon Pegg is never really that funny. But some of the stareoff faces are fooneh.
edit: um holy crap, I was putting in the ordered list as a pisstake, didn't know this forum had html :P

I saw The Darjeeling Limited a couple weeks ago. I enjoyed it. It isn't my favorite Wes Anderson movie but I thought it had a lot of heart (which his movies always excel at).

I recently saw Beowulf today, and it was alright. It could've been better, but the 3-D touch was really nice.

I just saw it too, and thought it was disappointing. Especially compared to the show.

Watched Thelma and Louis a couple of nights ago. Pretty good. Wished I hadn't known the ending before hand. Damn parodies.

Technically, it was a TV miniseries - but it was designed as a single film, 'a film in 13 parts and an epilogue' is what flashes up at the beginning of each part. In German.

IMAX is great. Pretty much the only reason I saw Beowulf.

Did you watch it in it's entirety in one sitting? bravo!

Heh. I had ambitions to. In fact, I was really determined to, until it came through the letterbox and I folded. Spread it over 5 days in the end, the same amount of time it took me to watch Border Radio recently, a film that's 83 mins long. God, it was so awful, one of these dull American indie 'slacker' flicks with musicians I've never heard of.

I recently got Vol. 1 of Dark Shadows on dvd and have been religiously watching it. I absolutely love this show.

You don't have to get 3.

Ah, Harmony Korine. How I love that little man.


Speaking of which, I just re-watched Ken Park. It's set/shot in Visalia, which is the town I've grown up in/around and currently live in. Once again, Harmony Korine has managed to take a rose-scented dump all over the hollywood standards. Even though the movie is fairly depressing, I still love it.

I'm hopefully going to be picking this up as part of my Dogme 95 binge soon-ish. I know nothing about it however.

I thought Ken Park was rather poor. I think the film will rile all the right people, but that seems to be the basic premise, and only that, it's very hollow. Saying that, we really do need more autoerotic asphyxiation in films.

i watched Saving Private Ryan last week again, possibly the best war film of all time. it was deemed the most realistic portrayal of WW2 by the war veterans of WW2 themselves, especially the D-Day landings for the american troops.

also, i saw '300' last night on a copy, and i thought it was bollocks. everytime it got to some action, it'd start doin' bloody slo-mo, ruining it. storyline was crap anyway, nothing compared to the battlescenes in Braveheart, say.

I disagree. While the movie certainly had shock value, that's never what Harmony Korine scripts have ever been about. Watching this movie reminded me a lot of my fucked up youth. Certainly not to the degree of what was portrayed, but I feel like it did a good job of showcasing how isolated and alone you can feel in a small town with a troubled home life and shallow-friendships.

For these kids, love was non-existent in pretty much every way. Sex was one of the only ways they had of connecting with each other. Or so they thought. I thought for these reasons, the movie was anything but hollow.

I saw "I Am Legend" yesterday, great movie I say, and I suggest it to anyone who needs to watch a good action flick in theaters right now.

The only problem is that it has a LOT of unexplained things in the story :/.

I agree, but that sounds like the definition of a hollow film.

The collection of grotesque storylines (and I'm not using that in an overly-emotional way, btw) gathered together offered little texture, and little interest. The only thread I properly liked was the bloke who lived with his grandparents and gets stressed over Scrabble (we can all relate to THAT one). It was a cool little quirky story, I'd have probably have preferred just to have a film focus purely upon that.

Actually, I also enjoyed that little moment between the pregnant mother and her son where she goes "oh, bump!" as she brushes him with her stomach? THAT was a great moment recognising the inherent sexuality between parents and their kids, WITHOUT it becoming some lame, obvious relationship (as it was with that character's step-dad, which you could see coming a mile off). When you speak of the film being a counter to Hollywood fluff-nonsense, that's the sort of thing where that's actually true.

I got the film, but I thought the premise was too slight and far too sensationalist to make any profound point or impact. I'm glad I saw it, I'm glad it exists, it's good for art to push the boundaries and everything (blah blah), but I don't think it makes for a decent and lasting piece of cinema.
