I saw V for Vendetta (McTeigue/2006) tonight. Terrific fucking movie. I strongly recommend.

The last movie I saw was Legend of Zorro last night. Man not what I was expecting at all, as I liked the first one with Anthony Hopkins but this one was lame in comparison.


*SPOILER ALERT* In case noone has seen it yet.


From my view point they filled it with too much comedy, a lot more than the first one(least it seemed that way to me)


Plus they could've done without the whole Zorro being kicked out of his house, ala marriage troubles. :rolleyes:

Why is it that Zorro is such a good swordsman but cannot stab anyone?

Anyway, just saw V for Vendetta and Pink Panther. Both good movies and worth watching.

I can't wait to see it on Tuesday!

Memoirs of A Geisha ***

The movie seemed to go by faster the 2nd time around but just as enjoyable. Very enjoyable performances by Ziyi Zhang, Ken Watanabe, Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh.

In Cold Blood
Richard Brooks
1967 US (1st time; big screen)
Two aimless petty thieves kill a family of four in Kansas, and are eventually sentenced to death by the court.
It begins with a suggestive editing technique which draws one parallel after another between the killers- and their victims-to-be. By today's standards, a tad long (much of it could now be cut), but the complexities of character and narrative are fascinating.

Predictable but very entertaining. Clive Owen scores again and Vincent Cassel was brilliant as the villian!

Everything Is Illuminated *

A very boring and uninteresting story about Jonathan's (Elijah Wood) journey to the Ukraine to find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis in 1942.

For me it's an instant classic though I can see why there's a divide of appreciation for this film. I do think overall it'll be better judged and appreciated over time. You know, if it was made 20 years ago and about Vietnam it'd probably be recognised alongside Apocalypse Now.

The film itself is incredibly engaging. I was glued to almost every scene. I applaud Mendes for not 'overshocking' the audience which he could have easily done by focusing more on the charcoal bodies or casualties of war instead they were seen from a distance. I've never read the book but I assume that was done on purpose how Swoff actually experienced it.

I saw The Hills Have Eyes (2006) the other day.. I thought it was pretty good. The ending left a little to be desired, but the overall movie was intense and really emotional. I can't explain it better than that without giving stuff away.

2 nights ago I watched Alien Vs. Predator, and I absolutely loved it. I mean.. its fucking ALIEN versus fucking PREDATOR.

Turi, Glad you liked this movie. I have almost similar views about this movie. I thought it should have atleast got an oscar nomination

A decent family movie with Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning. It's unbelievable the talent that Ms. Fanning has worked with thus far in her early career. I wonder what the future holds for us as she grows older?

I concur with what Patrick wrote. Awesome performances by both Ms. Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving. Another anticipated DVD and I'll probably have to see it again in the thearters. Like Sin City from last year, GO SEE THIS MOVIE IN THEATHERS!

Raging Bull ****

Probably the greatest 1980s film. Terrific performances by Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese

A little disappointing but entertaining nonetheless. I've heard this was Quentin Tarantino's favorite martial arts film and I'll be honest, that's the reason I watched it. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think there was too much fighting in this movie

Irreversible * 1/2

The directing of this was really pissing me off. I have never seen so many 180 or 360 degree shots before in my life and were getting on my last nerve!

LOL...It is supposed to be uncomfortable Irish it is a movie about horrible act that destroys more than one person. It is not supposed to flow all nice and pretty, it's disruptive because of the story, nothing about this movie is supposed to make you feel comfortable.

Just saw Mean Girls for the first time. Actually a very enjoyable movie, and some fairly inventive direction. Suprisingly better than I thought it'd be. And god damn was Lindsey Lohan fine 2 years ago.

Belle De Jour **

A decent about a beautiful young woman married to a doctor. She loves her husband dearly, but cannot bring herself to be physically intimate with him. She indulges instead in vivid, kinky, erotic fantasies to entertain her sexual desires. Eventually she becomes a prostitute, working in a brothel in the afternoons while remaining chaste in her marriage. A good performance by Catherine Deneuve.

MALCOLM X (1992) - ****

Director Spike Lee's greatest film of his career, a riveting drama about the very controversial black militant Moslem leader of the 1960s. Denzel Washington got an Oscar nod for Best Actor, but he should have won...and especially over Al Pacino for SCENT OF A WOMAN!

I need to review the hell out of this movie quite soon for AV!

Inside Man (2006/Spike Lee)

A cop has to talk down a bank robber after the criminal's perfect heist spirals into a hostage situation.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willam Dafoe

Well I was pretty excited to make my first trip to the movie theater this year, to see my 3rd Spike Lee film (after 25th Hour and Jungle Fever). This film, despite solid performances from all of its principal cast, ultimately faltered and held no remnance of the Spike Lee style I've heard of. Denzel was his usual self, Jodie Foster was good, and Clive Owen was solid in what I feel like is probably the first film I've seen him in (maybe). The tricky plot seemed a little too complicated for its own good at times, like Lee was hurting the film as a whole by trying to make the story really complex.

The biggest flaw in this film was the music, which was a mix of misplaced indian themes and cliched action movie music. I was also kind of tired of the twisty camera work at the end. In this day and age, doing a two-minute tracking shot isn't so spectacular anymore, and Lee must've tried it like 10 times. Also, I don't know what Willem Dafoe was doing here, playing just another NYC cop. His talents seemed vastly underused.

Ultimately, a solid if not unremarkable film from a director who could do much better.

3/5 Stars

Howard the Duck ** 1/2

I haven't seen this movie in about 15 years or so. I didn't remember much of it but it was fun to view it again. Not a bad movie but DEFINITELY dated
