That movie you just watched

[MrFulci]

There is some mention of car chases here. I can't think of any movie I've seen with CGI car chases, then again I have never seen and of the Fast and Furious movies mentioned here, they're just not my thing. I doubt a CGI car chase would hold my attention the same way the chase scenes in French Connection (The subway chase is awesome), Ronin, The Seven Ups, Bullit, or any other similar chase with real cars would hold my attention.

I'm about to go watch Pacific Rim.  I've heard good things about it.  Hopefully I'll post back with good news.

Pretty decent action flick! I like at the end when everyone dies!

GAH!!!  Spoiler Alert!  Meanie.

I was looking forward to PR too, but it was pretty boring. Good explosions. Stupid, cliche characters.

Watched 28 Weeks Later last night. Better than I expected for a sequel from a B+ movie. The music is a real highpoint. Been listening to composer John Murphy nonstop now:

I always thought we should have a Movie Picks type thread similar to the random YouTube postings, so glad to see this thread got started.
 

Finally rented the new RoboCop movie.  In the words of Wesley Willis it sucked a cheetah's dick with worcestershire sauce.

All of the remakes they've been doing of my favorite late 80's early 90's flicks just don't compare.  CGI is my enemy.

Yeah, it sucked ballz. I literally could've just stopped it halfway in, put on the original Robocop and had a much better time rather than finishing off watching this garbage... Yet another remake that didn't need to be made and insulted the original rather than improve upon it.

Going to se the new Tom cruse movie edge of tomorrow today with the wife.

Why do I feel like this movies best parts where already shown on the trailers and I am going to walk away thinking this should have been a rental......


Ok ok think positive thoughts.  Positive thoughts. 


But at the same time has Tim crus even done a better then decent/average sci if movie? 


Maybe I should just watch Malifacent instead.

I liked both films. There's a particular film from the 80's that I thought the sequel borrowed from...I'll have to find the title. You might like it (more, even, since it's not particularly popular...but it should be, considering the rebirth of Zombie stuff).

Okay just finished watching Malifacent.

My wife loved it and wth the teaser that seems to sugest a kive action Cinderella movie next year she is estatic.

I for one was disappointed and board.

The ending was entirely to easy to guess. Infact every major plot point was telegraphed from the start it felt.

The theif who would be king never seemed to learn anything and was a thoroughly unlikable character with no redeem uhhng wqualities.

Which made Malifacent well she had nobe if the grandiose she had in the original animated movie.

I wouldnt even give this a rental.

Maybe I wasnt the target audience but I had hoped this would have been something both parents and children could have enjoyed instead it felt like something a 12 year old would love and thats it

Yeah, I think so. I loved Oblivion, it was the 2nd movie the "Tron: Legacy" director did. I watched it many times to boot. The other SciFi movies he did are Minority Report and Vanilla Sky (which is actually SciFi as is later revealed). Now, I dunno how well VS did in the theaters, but I'm sure MR did well, it had Steven Spielberg attached to it after all (director). While I don't like MR as much as Oblivion, it's still a pretty solid SciFi action/adventure movie well worth watching and poses the interesting, age old question about how much liberty should we sacrifice in the name of security/crime-fighting.

just watched "street smart "
and
"the house on carroll street"

[roflmao]

Currently watching 'World War Z" on Netflix.  I saw it awhile back and liked it.  I've since read the book, and while this is NOTHING like the book, it's still a fun zombie romp. (I don't know how they'd turn that book into a decent movie) The book is very recommended.  I couldn't put it down.

Most recently, Romancing the Stone, on Blu-ray. It looked nice, it's been a long time since I've seen the movie.

Now, I'm getting ready to watch, "Top of the Heap". It just recently had it's first official DVD release.

After that, "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker". Also first time on DVD.

Just watched Days of Future Past.

Nothing made me angry.  That's a pretty big compliment for a comic book movie.

Romancing the Stone. I haven't seen that since it was in the theaters. Ha!

Jewel of the Nile is in your future. It is not worth your time, but it's the same formula....

Eventually, I'll get around to Jewel of the Nile, it's been a long time for that one, also.. But not anytime in the near future. The Blu-ray for RTS was cheap, so I picked it up. The, "Little Mule" was fun.


Anyway, another to add here;

- 48 hrs.
