TEETH 1/2
(First Viewing)

An interesting take on an original horror flick. Basically the female lead in this has teeth in her vagina making any unwanted intruder pay dearly.

Now ive heard it all.. do you buy this film?

ROFL...How did I miss this post

I made the mistake of watching Caligula....I had to stop eating after five minutes of that. For those who have seen it...you'd understand.

I have been meaning to see Caligula for a long time, but never got to it.

Watch Saló.

No that honor goes to August Underground's Mordum. Salo is nothing compared to that. I highly recommend that as an endurance test

I have 2 DVDs, both came along as a bonus with a magazine. both are great! Lifestyles of the Ramones and AC/DC - Live at Donington

HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE 1/2
(Third Viewing)

Just gearing up for numero 2 this weekend. An enjoyable flick about a couple of stoners who stop at nothing to satisfy their growing hunger for White Castle burgers.

It hasn't come out yet. It comes out over here on May 2nd but I will add it to the list

I bet you will...

THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
(Third Viewing)

Not as much pop as the previous Bronsnan Bonds. For one reason or another it just lacked a pulse.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS (1974)
(First Viewing)

An enjoyable independent action flick with some great car chase scenes. However, I enjoyed the 2000 remake better because the story had more structure and in-depth character development.

I watched Juno the other day

i wasnt particulary impressed

DIE ANOTHER DAY 1/2
(Fourth Viewing)

A satisfying way for Pierce Brosnan to end his tenure as Agent 007. And while some fans and critics don't particularly like this Bond due to its outlandish gadgetry (i.e. the car), it didn't bother me. What I liked most about this Bond was the end of the opening title sequence because it has never happened before in a Bond. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it.

Mate, you trash CASINO ROYALE but trash this?

No wonder Geoff has been on you lately.

When I went to the movies last weekend, I saw a poster for the new X-Files movie (they didn't show previews in the theater though) . I know somebody mentioned it earlier here on the BB. Any X-File fans out there? I don't even know thre storyIine, but know, I'm gonna see it.

HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY 1/2
(First Viewing)

A good follow up to WHITE CASTLE and while I enjoy the original more, I'm glad they didn't screw it up. I doubt they'll make a third but it could be possible if this performs well. More stoner jokes and racial profiling for 100 minutes.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH & THE WARDROBE (2005)
(Fourth Viewing)

Just gearing up for PRINCE CASPIAN which is going to debut in a couple of weeks. A true fantasy classic IMO even if it falls short of comparisons to THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Wonderful set designs, costumes, make-up, special effects, etc.

SM

(cos only abbrevs are worthy.)

How many stars do you give for SM?

I can probably watch it just one more time, only if it is on a big screen. There were some decent visual effects.

i prefere the original..

SM means Shoutbox Material.

didn't any of you watched Tropa de Elite yet??

where are you getting your pile of DVDs that you keep watching?? this movie was the big Berlin Festival winner, for chrissakes! or that just doesn't matter too? you should at least give it a try, and I'll keep posting this until someone post a review of it!

It isn't available on blockbuster, will have to download I guess.

However, I watched a brazilian movie couple of days ago on IFC.
Ritual dos Sádicos, O (1970) **

Beautifully shot and interesting use of colors and visuals. On the surface of it, looks like a B movie, but is definitely much more than that.

I'm watching "Nobody's Fool" (with Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy) on tv again (even though I just DVR'd it). What an awesome movie!

A wonderfully poignant story with great characters (Newman's "Sullivan" is one of the most likable characters I've ever seen in a movie) and some great acting performances. Plus, you get to see Melanie Griffith flash (topless) for a second!!

Jessica Tandy's last movie - I'd highly recommend it!

CASINO ROYALE
(Third Viewing)

Well, third times a charm for me on this film. This has got to be one of the most complex scripts for a Bond film but I enjoyed it (finally). It's more sophisticated and deeper than previous Bond films. I think Daniel Craig was great as Bond (either my second or third favorite, depending on how he does in QUANTUM OF SOLACE). Easily the best Bond in the past decade and if I wasn't eagerly anticipating Bond 22, I am now! I still wouldn't consider this the best Bond of all-time but it's in my top 3 and I can see how some could view this as such.

El Orfanato ("The Orphanage") (2007) was a terrific thriller/horror/suspense drama from Spain. So good, I didn't even notice the subtitles. While at times I could guess what was going to happen, most times it pulled into a different direction. Everything was superbly done, I wish Hollywood would take notice. And they better at next year's Oscars at least (I assume and hope it's eligible since it's US release date was in January '08). 8/10

I too saw THE ORPHANAGE recently Geoff and didn't much care for it:

THE ORPHANAGE
(First Viewing)

Pretty dull for a ghost story. I'd classify this more of a "suspense" than actual horror film. Pretty disappointing and more in line with a RING or the other Japanese horror films that haven't transitioned well in America.
