Movies u must c

Well, despite a few weak links--they headed to Boston b/c that was the only place Ray knew they had family and any hopes of finding anyone they knew--I found it to be pure, entertaining Spielburg, right down to the E.T. tribute and the 9/11 elements. I went for that reason and that reason alone.

I guess thats true that they went to Boston to find those they know.

I can understand how you can think it was an entertaining film. I guess in my case, I had raised my hopes too much and got underwhelmed.

I watched God of Gamblers last night. Its a kind of strange mix of comedy and action. Not bad and Chow Yun Fat is as cool as ever in that film.

I saw a great film the other night called Amores Perros. I think its Mexican and is brilliantly made, similar in structure to Pulp Fiction where common events shape and affect the lives of different people in different ways (though the tone and style is very different to Pulp Fiction).

Essentially, its quite a gritty and harsh view on the ideas demostrated in the film, yet each character is developed and captured from positive perspectives too (such as their feelings).

A fair amount of action and drama is in the film and I recommend it. However, it does show some dog fights (as in illegal dog fight betting) and the effects of dog fights on the dogs, which is quite realistically portrayed and may put people off a bit, if they have problems with animal cruelty (although I'm quite sure they didn't actually get dogs to have fights during filming).

Saw Fantastic 4 the last week. If you like pop corn and don't mind leaving your brain at home when you go to the movies, it might entertain you.

i saw the doors late last nite ... i think it was a bit annoying, but i though val kilmer did a great job as jim morrison... i expected it to be much better, it actually dissapointed me



i also saw the classic movie, 'animal house' ... i saw it when the sun was up so maybe it could have been better, it was funny in a way but i think because so many new movies use the same jokes it becomes less funny.

uhum... mind expanding ....

i watched fantastic 4 the other night. it was a great movie. i highly enjoyed it! maybe because i watched the cartoon when i was younger. anyway, the acting was not bad at all.

The Phanthom of the Opera is just flying insinde my head, can't help it, the movie is so romantic...

Planning to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sometime in the next week, with Lin and her brother. Previews look like the warped and twisted humor we all so appreciate!

Over the past 2 days i have seen The Manchurian Candidate, War of the Worlds and The Motorcycle Diaries.

The first is a remake of the old film, i've not seen the original, but i highly enjoyed this new version. It's like a more adult version of Enemy of the State, lots of dark revelations, conspiracy theories and the abuse of power. It's a story about what a group of soldiers thought was true turns out to be a lie and how the power to create this false truth has them trying to gain the presidency. It's a great film, especially if you like all this kind of stuff, X-Files and such.

War of the Worlds, well we all know about that. I thought it was pretty good, liked it alot, except for the idiot sat behind me who was talking for most of it. The special effects were fantastic, a few points were a little weak, but on the whole it was a thumbs up.

The Motorcycle Diaries is all about the real-life road trip Ernesto Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado take around South America, which basically is the influence that leads Ernesto to become the famous Cuban miltant hero. The film leads you on a journey showing the subtle transformation of Ernesto's mind from young boy out to have fun to a man who decides to devote himself to changing the inequality and poverty of his America. It's a very powerful film, i would highly recommend it.


As for trailers, i liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it looks incredible and completely insane at the same time. I don't take drugs, but i wonder what that film would be like if you were on LSD or something ! ( Just say no kids ) King Kong looks great. I've seen the trailer before, but not on the big screen and i have to say it seemed awesome. Weta + Jackson = Pure Cinematic Entertainment. Seeing a T-Rex or two being beaten up by a mean looking giant gorilla has to be the ultimate Cinderella Man looked ok, Russel Crowe as a boxer ... gets success, loses it, has one shot to get it back again. Tired sounding story, but this time it is true, might be worth a look.

Last night I saw Ghostbusters. A classic imo, never gotten tired of watching it and I've seen it many times in my life

Probably going to see Shogun Assassin next. Its a Japanese chanbara (samurai) film. Apparently famed for its excessive violence and controversy (it was banned in 1983 apparently in the uk) and its mention in Kill Bill 2 (its the film the little girl loves).

However, my interest stems from two other reasons. The first being I'm a fan of chanbara films in general from the classic Seven Samurai to modern day greats like Zatoichi (the Takeshi Kitano one).

The second reason for my interest being its a lone wolf and cub story. For those who don't know, Lone wolf and cub is about a man entrusted by the Shogun to be an official executioner. He would assist in Seppuku (ritual suicide).

However, he was falsly accused of treason by the evil Yagyu Clan, stripped of his position and his wife got murdered by Yagyu assassins.

He was a father who gave his infant son a terrible choice between a beautiful red ball and a sword. If he chose the ball it meant he would join his mother, but to choose the sword meant he would join his father, now a Ronin (a samurai without a master) in a journey of revenge.

Now, Shogun assassin is a film based on this ronin and his child travelling together with the aim of revenge and is one of a series of films based on this plot (aka the "baby cart" films). It is a classic series in Japan spawning a number of movies and a manga (Japanese comic) series.

hey, boy genius, look at the title of the thread, then look at the where the thread is and you might notice that this part of the forums isn't to do with football, but more a place for member's to socialise, hence its called the 'Member's lounge" and this thread isn't to do with Milan, its about films, which is what my post and the post above mine and the post above that and so on are all talking about.
