Just a general thread for movie lovers. Old, new, in between. From family to XXX.
Any favs? Any recent good ones? I am always looking for a decent movie to watch.
Last good one I seen was Horton Hears a Who. Awesome for the whole family.
I really love Sin City, Gladiator, Fast Times at Ridgmont High, The Departed (except for that cheesy rat at the very end), Pulp Fiction, and the Indiana Jones series. Oh, I thought American Gangster was ok too for recent rentals.
Trainspotting is another 90s fav.
and Strange Brew! Killer Canadian classic!

Yeah that movie should be fun. I liked the 3rd out of the 3.
Was humming the indiana jones tune yesterday. lol
lol p.c. the movies are always on the sundance and ifc channels back home. All independent and foreign films basically. That's how I discovered french and spanish cinema.
Yes, Indiana II was actually a downer.
Is the IFC channel different in the US?
I can barely follow a movie in English.

I don't know, I don't have expanded cable here in Canada. *checks ifc canada schedule*
no ifc america is different. They've got certain days of the week dedicated to certain genres. Like Japanese Horror/Suspense films those are on Sundays if I remember correctly. Then they have Doc night etc.
checked ifc.ca looks like you've just got shows.
lol speak of the devil. 4:35 et they're showing L'Auberge Espagnole. lol Its a film about Erasmus (Europe's student exchange program) students living together in Barcelona. Great comedy.

ok, glad we got the version we have then.
No no no.....it wasn't Battleship Potemkine. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/10.gif)It was something....much more refined. It was intellectually stimulating, deep and profound....while at the same time whimsical and cheeky .

Two semi-oldies which I've always admired are Picnic and Hanging Rock and The Lacemaker.
I'd hardly call L'Auberge Espagnole "intellectual" a kid quits his job, becomes a writer, british girl makes fun of the french, everyone makes fun of the british girl, the american is not trusted, the british brother of the girl is homophobic, and audrey tautou is in the movie being a cranky gf. hardly "intellectual" lol

A while ago, I saw "No Country for Old Men" and I thought it sucked. It was absolutely terrible.
Lucky Number Slevin is ok too.
Have you seen:
Cinderella Man

I would recommend all of those movies.

Mr PL watched it Friday. He enjoyed it. He also read the book. I heard that this movie may be better than Spiderman.
Alright cool. Yeah I've heard its more adultish then Spiderman.
I've seen Rainman....I think Ironman is the second in the trilogy. The next one will be Rustman.
Did Mr. PL see the the little bit after the end credits? I couldn't stop laughing, but is that actually comic book related? I'm more DC knowledgable so Marvel is a bit cloudy. I'd like to know if that was a joke with (blank) or was it real?
I'll have to ask him, SD.
I never seen Ironman. I am not big on the comic book movies. Never really got X-Men? Spiderman was just ok for me. Fantastic 4 was far from fantastic.
If Ironman is a different approach, I might give it a try.
I am looking forward to Kung Fu Panda. Should be another trip to the movies with my youth group.
Indy 4 too....God don't let it suck!!
purelife wrote:

Thanks a lot.
I have been pissed at the movies I seen lately. Tons of crap! Or a decent movie, with a bad ending. Makes me so sad!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/2.gif)
I've not seen anything worthwhile for what must now be years.
Neither, I'm afraid.
"Then you might try those, they are way apart from the actual cultural void."
Yea...cultural void....that's the one.
I found that there came a time that so many movies ceased to be entertaining for me, that I seemed to lose interest in all. It didn't seem to be worth investing the time to watch them.....and certainly not to pay to watch them.
It was a combination of the popularity of a whack of movies that were of a genre that doesn't appeal to me...... poorly thought out plots with lots of action and blood (which definitely doesn't work for me)....lots of scenes of such disturbing thought (the ones that spend too much depicting demented and sick lengthy torture), but no story. And lastly, I either can't sit still long enough, or they put me to sleep. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Not to mention the fact that almost all cinemas have the sound turned up way too loud.
I find the Canadian cinema's low on the volume thankfully. I forgot how loud the movie theatres are back in St-Louis. I went to see a movie over winter break and I couldn't take it.
Only 'hollywood' aka american films I see involve comic books, pixar or judd apathow comedies or independent American productions such as Into the Wild type movies.
My favourite movies aren't from California, so that automatically makes a traitor in one friends eyes. lol geez
I was shocked at the amount of British produced films that come to Nanaimo. My friends just said well it is Canada, but that doesn't fly much anymore because the cinema's here are owned by American companies or just have contracts with American film people.
I find the Canadian cinema's low on the volume thankfully.
That's interesting that St Louis has louder cinemas than Famous Players.
Speaking of cinemas, has anyone been to the Colossus in Langley?
Yeah the Galaxy in my house has HD digital projection (no more reels) and has lucas arts produced Dolby Digital Surround, which hurts my ears for the most part.
SD - I asked Mr PL about the after-credit ending to that IronMan movie and he sadly missed that part. He does know what it was all about (because he started talking to me and there I was, standing and nodding like I knew what he was talking about LOL). He said that it was comic related.
HE MISSED IT! OMG, I looked it up and just tell him it has to do with the Avengers, and Nick Fury is Samuel L. Jackson.

You must be deaf. The theatres I go to are bloody loud. And I am deaf in my old age! My ear drums are almost gone from many concerts.
Yeah I'm probably, I find the main theatre at Woodgrove in Nanaimo super quiet, like someone forgot to turn up the volume.
I haven't gone to the theatres a lot. Last one was Horton Hears a Who. I am out of touch.
It's okay Van.
Summer flicks:
Indy 4
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
WALL-E
Hulk
Chronicles of Narnia
Get Smart
Hellboy 2
Son of Rainbow (kids in the 80s tried of 80s pop-culture decide to make a Rambo film in England, hysterical)
Speed Racer
Sex in the City
The Foot Fist Way (going to be the funniest movie of the year)
Kung Fu Panda
[strong style="font-weight: normal;"]You Don't Mess with the Zohan
The Love Guru (Mike Myers as an American born Guru, Justin Timberlake as a Quebec NHL player, looks extremely funny)
Hancock Will Smith (plays a super hero who's a bum and has an image problem that nobody likes because he's lazy)

Watched Indy 4 last night. It was ok. Pretty 'out of this world', but not bad.
It is no Raiders of the Lost Ark! But what is?
It was nice to go to the theatre while a NHL final was on. The theatre was not too crowded.

I watched teh new rambo movie last night. Stalone didnt even look like Rambo from past movies! It was shorter than the other ones too it seemed.
Starfishie wants to go see that Indiana Jones movie.. would you recommend it Van or is it a renting movie?
Can't believe you paid good money to see Rambo 16.
Btw, has anyone seen Rocky Balboa? I haven't...yet. I can't even bear to waste a free rental coupon from Rogers on it.

Horton was a cool show too. Pretty G rated, but sometimes that is good for me!
As for Indy 4. I would go if you liked the other Indiana movies. Lots of action for the big screen. Tons of cool scenes. Very far fetched action. Then I think back to the originals and it wasn't much different. The overal story was kind of...?? Hard to describe. Not an amazing storyline, but still cool.
Like I say, if you are an Indy fan like me, I would go to the big screen.
(please don't throw a tomatoe at me if you hate it)....
Can't wait to see Indy. Hopefully later this month.
Heckyl saw Kung Fu Panda today with some friends. He enjoyed it.
If you want to see any 'Rambo' film see 'Son of Rambo' its about kids in Britain growing up in the 80s one a trouble maker the other is part of a strict christian religious sect where he can't watch movies.

Still this is the best movie I've seen all year:
(http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/images_5/CounterfeitersPoster.jpg)
hey hey hey Rambo 4 is good!! I can't believe people are talking smack about it!
I paid $12.50 at Silvercity to see some good action, and that's EXACTLY what I got!
Stallone (who was huge by the way) went around killing a bunch of bad guys in Burma... great kill scenes... action movies don't get better than this!
If I had to pay to see it again, I would!
Yea....straight magazines. They look so messy when they're not straight. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

I've been attempting to watch the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. I'm a huge fan of the books, but I can't get into the film.
You may be disappointed with the movie for sure.
I read Jumper book one and two (3 book series) and really enjoyed the first two. The movie, on the other hand, SUCKED, imo! I only watched it cuz I was curious.
Hey, I saw that movie coming back from LA. Defnitely a sucky movie but get this, there's a sequel already in the works.

P.C. WALL-E comes out this weekend.
I can't wait to watch Dark Knight and The Mummy 3.
I had a Mummy one and two marathon the other night and enjoyed the adventure. And, I've been o.d'ing on Jet Li lately.
Oh, and Wall-E was an excellent movie. Great for lil kiddies. Hancock was also very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed WALL-E pl.
They had a 3:20am showing of the Dark Knight this morning, work ran a little late, couldn't of made it down to the movie theatre in time. 3:20 in the morning! crazy.
Did you see Wall-E? I just loved the beginning lil cartoon clip.... too cute! There were so many kids in the theatre...
I think it's a movie worth buying on DVD. :)
Yeah I love that movie. I kept telling everyone on here about it months before it was coming out. lol
I saw the midnight showing, it was just my mom, sister and I. Felt so rebelious seeing a rated G movie at midnight! lol
I'm convinced WALL-E represents my love life, except the girl robot doesn't come for me when I'm in peril. haha
I liked how they spoke to each other. Too cute and innocent!
indeed. The movie was soo good.
Wall E looks a tad boring to me...... but I'm so pumped up to watch Batman. EAT HIS SHORTS, WALL E!!! Bwahahahahaha!
Heckyl enjoyed Wall-E. Jeckyl thought it was boring.
Watched Juno on DVD the other night. Hilarious! Plus, lotsa Vancouver scenes.
I'm banned from watching a Vancouver movie with the relatives. I keep pointing out stuff. lol
We saw Dark Knight and loved it. Awesome movie. :)
The girls and I went to see Mamma Mia. Had a good time. :)
That movie looked cute when I saw the trailer. Did you enjoy it?
Yup. It was great. Love the songs and I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Benny and Bjorn in the movie. Good summer movie.
Juno is excellent. My friend loan me the DVD and I loved it. Very quirky, very Canadian. Cried like crazy in the end. What's her name...... Ellen Page? She's good.
Just saw Batman. Called up my cousin and talked about how they're going to make the next one. lol

Hospital scene all of it, is comic gold.
Then the prison scene where he starts clapping and saying I just want a phone call. lol
It's definitely a movie worth owning! I can't wait until it comes out on DVD.

Now, I can't wait until the Mummy 3 comes out on Aug 1. Are you watching it, SD?
I don't know pl, although Jet Li is in it, so it's going to be cool. More excited about Pineapple and Hamlet 2.

Sorry about bringing up the pencil trick, PC (and anyone else) and making you read up what it was about.
I, too, don't like disturbing things but after I saw it, I didn't feel that it was too disturbing. I guess it was one of the most memorable scenes that I remembered from Batman.
lol Michel.
It's rather short scene, it's used to set up Ledger's laugh that you see/hear in the previews the he he ha ha ho hehehahehehe

Oh, I LOVE that movie, Cars 2. Can't wait to watch it. Thanks for giving me the heads up, Van.
I didn't like Cars. Disney sequels usually sucks. By the time the sequel rolled around they're more interested in money than quality.
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/blakeduh/pan1.jpg)
This movie rocks! I highly recommend it.
ok, sorry but Cars rocked!
All the voices were classic characters...(ok, maybe not Owen Wilson), but he did a good job too.
I thought Toy Story 2 was done just fine for a sequal.
LOL, everytime purelife says she likes a movie, Lise jumps on it with the big "NOT!!" stamp. haha.
You are more of a sci fi fan though right? I don't like sci-fi at all. Maybe 5 minutes of Star Wars, but that is a lifetime fix for me.

The Green Mile was kinda sci-fi. I liked that one.
I like the Green Mile too, Van. I thought it was a nice touch with the wee bit of fantasy in that one.
I like a lot of fantasy films mind you. Like Lord of the Rings was decent for me.
It is the Space Cadet 3000, Galactica, Star Trekking, style of movies that aren't for me.

I guess we all have different tastes in movies. And yes, I'm more into the sci-fi, fantasy genre. Romantic movies are so blah to me.
Star Wars will rock forever tho the animation movie that's coming out look so stupid. Gee, George Lucas is milking the franchise for all its worth and I think he lost something along the way. Too bad he doesn't see it.

Cars rocked for sure! I watched it more than 3 times...and own it too AND even have the video game for it for xbox. I like driving fast cars. ;) Does that qualify me as a fan?
haha! Not slamming Lise either. I just thought it was funny.
good to see different tastes. We are not all robots, yaya!!

I can buy a extra large popcorn and sit in the middle and hold it for you gals and it will be cool and Mr. Sawdust and Mr. pl might get mad at me...then there is some guy sitting behind us with steamed glasses....
[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/nahrung/a070.gif" border=0] This size ?
As long as you have popcorn with extra butter...I'm game! LOL Let's not forget to feed the guy with the foggy glasses in hikers behind us.
butter...and I like putting M&Ms right in my popcorn.
Now we just have to find a movie we can all agree on. I will go watch anything if I get to sit between two beautiful girls and some serial killer...(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/4.gif)
M&M's in popcorn? Is this one of your cravings? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/4.gif) I've never had it but it sounds yummy.

What about the Pan's Labyrinth ? Is it about the Minotaur myth ?
I thought it was about Fascism.
Well I've seen the movie in parts, I have always seemed to have caught the movie during bad times where I can't sit down and watch it completely. I've always been led to believe that what the girl goes through represents Franco or life under Franco. That's what the general opinion of the film is alluring too.
Well you're seeing it everywhere. It was taboo for Germans to make movies about what happened between 1920-1945 and now all of a sudden the past years have been flooded with movies like that. Then there's the East German movies "Good bye Lenin" which is apparently a comedy, yet doesn't come off that way. Ostalgie has become big now.
Oh frack, just watch the darn movie and enjoy it! Stop dissecting it too much. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/19.gif)

I remember seeing that old version as a kid......and if it's the same one I'm thinking of.....I even remember the actors name after all these years. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0] Bo Svenson...Svensen ? I thought he was the dreamiest.
Oops. I must be thinking of another movie.
Somehow I've attached a name to this guy and it's the wrong name.
(http://onter.net/cinema/journ_b.jpg)
It's the guy on the far right. I have just learned his name is Peter Ronson (which rings no bells at all) But I still remember that face. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c032.gif[/img]
So I was remembering the right movie, the right role and the right face......but gave him a name that I must have decided at some point fit him. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) Hans......yes....Hans.
[p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"][span style="" lang="EN-CA"][o:p][/o:p][/span][/p]
How could they replace Hans ??????? It's just not right.
Oh heck, I like the original movie better than the dud that Bradon Fraser stared in. Why does he pick such crappy movies to star in?

If you guys haven't try, watch Serenity. Excellent movie.
That looks too spacey for me. Then again, I haven't seen many other good movies lately, so maybe I should give it a try.
Does that girl in front get naked??! lol.
Nope but she sure kicks some ass. Serenity is an ending to the short-lived series Firefly but you don't really have to watch the series to appreciate the movie. I'm in love with the captain. *sigh*
Yeayyyy ! [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a040.gif" border=0]
That was a great story. I read the book long before I saw the movie.....and most often one is better than the other (usually the book being better)......but they did a pretty good job on that one.
last night watched Darjeeling Limited and Meet the Browns.
Yeah, considering that I normally fall asleep 5 minutes into any tv show.
Now I can't stop singing Peter Sarstedt's Where Did You Got To My Lovely.
Ah, memories..............
Exactly what my hubby said.
Watched "I now pronounced you Chuck and Larry". Dead funny. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/2.gif)
Nope, he went with a friend.
Last night I kinda (sorta) caught the tail end of Jessica Alba's [A href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0406759/"]The Eyes[/A] and was creeped out of it. I don't know why hubby rents these sort of stupid horror movies but I couldn't sleep for the longest time. OMG. Ghost and Lise do not go hand in hand.
Not even Casper Lise?
Hmm, when I look at Jessica Alba, I never noticed her eyes..(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Angry/7.gif)
Is anyone going to watch the new James Bond - Quantum of Solace coming out this Friday?
Im going to watch it yes.. but just not on friday. I dont think anyhow.. subject to Starfishies Ideas.
Nope. I'm tired of the new James Bond movies but let us know how it goes.
Going with a group to see it on Saturday.
I'm going with a group and watching it on Saturday too!!
Next movie I'll be watching is Transporter 3. I like Jason Stratham...and Jet Li. :)))

friday night is club night, saturday night is watch bond and then party til 3am night. lol Sunday hangover. That's how this group of people roll.
Bond films are getting smarter:
"It's his internal suffering that propels much of "Quantum," as Bond seeks out the shadow organization who killed his beloved Vesper Lynn in the previous film, a pursuit that puts him in direct dispute with eco-capitalist Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), whose Earth-friendly conglomerate hides various shades of skullduggery, from overthrowing governments in oil-rich countries (with the tacit approval of the CIA) to hoarding water supplies."
no no. Read the last line. Bond is going to take down the CIA apparently. lol
And that its a 'eco-capitalist' group which overthrows dictatorships with approval of the CIA. lol
Anyone seen My Summer Story? It's the supposed sequel to A Christmas Story. It was in the bargain bin at StupidStore, so I bought it for $3.99

I think I'll rent Casino Royale and watch it again to refresh my memory before I go see Quantum
My hubby saw Casino Royale for free. You can actually borrow it from the Vancouver Public Library if you become a member. Might be on the waiting list tho.
I still have to see Indiana Jones. Maybe we'll wait till it becomes dirt cheap since it did rather badly at the theatres.
You guys are talking about the latest Indiana Jones movie right?
It did really well actually... over 700 million in earnings.

Check your local Safeway store if they have this [A href="http://www.dvdplay.com/"]http://www.dvdplay.com/[/A] its cheap rentals
you can also download the movies for free courtesy of the internet! you don't even have to leave home! you can find pretty much any movie out there unless if it's some junk one that nobody has heard of (see: lousy horror movies) or some foreign film that had limited exposure.
Anybody seen any good box office movies lately?
For the fourth time, I've watched the movie The Holiday. It was on last night on tele. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)
Not me purelife, but I learned on Saturday night, that Shaw on Demand, has free Karaoke. I have never karaoked before, and was quite shocked to find out how difficult it was. Even knowing every nuance and every word of a song wasn't enough. Who knew.
I have the worlds worst voice, so of course I would never do it in public....but it was fun in the living room with only close friends to laugh at me. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
There's a bunch of cool PG type movies (animation) coming out this year if you saw the Super Bowl. Aliens vs. Monsters (or is it Monsters vs. Aliens?) and that old cranky guy who takes his house up into the sky.
Next month is Watchmen
Eventually Terminator 4
And Avatar the most expensive movie ever made.
P.C. - I tried out the karoke on Shaw too but mine kept skipping and off beat. I also suck at singing too. I never sing in the shower.
SD - What about Wolverwine?
Saw Star Trek yesterday. Wow. It was fantastic.
Watched the first half of Daddy Day Camp last night. What an awful film. Heckyl and Jeckyl liked it, and plan to finish watching it today.

Oh I'm the singer, let me tell ya.
I saw the Xmen film on the net when it came out.
My friend and I wanted to see Star Trek today, but the theatre was closed, ohh Nanaimo. 20 dollar taxi ride down the drain. You spend more on taxis than anything else.
lol just read some critics about Earth the Disney version. Kids can't tolerate the movie, it's too cruel to see animals dying, and adults found the movie rather uninformative. I'm not surprised. Anyone have seen it? I might go soon before it disappear from our screen.
Oh dear. This one could hit me hard. I have the kid angle AND the adult angle to contend with. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
