Well it looks like I'm gonna rent Kiss Kiss Bang Bang based on popularity in here. I remember I bought DEEP IMPACT on dvd & I still haven't watched it, although I've watched Serenity 20 times in the past year or so. Sometimes I surprise my self with a blind movie pick that actually turns out to be a decent choice.

I was gonna say I think it's a pretty sweet movie, but thought I may just be wrong. Turns out others feel the same as me. Good stuff.

The thing I don't like about it is that the dude who wrote the book seriously believes in this crap.

Yep, it's the one with Richard Gere in it. I had to fight off sleep during that movie. I usually LOVE movies like that but that one had me yawning the first half hour of the movie.

Honestly, though, if you had high expectations that could've done it. I thought it was going to be awful, so that may be partly why I enjoyed it.

I plan on seeing Borat in the next few weeks, Shawshank Redemption made me cry each time I've seen it. I LOVED that movie.

Borat is comedy. There are steady laughs throughout. Especially when you realize that no one is in on the joke.

I just started watching Da Ali G Show and this fella is really, really funny. His characters are very unique. The show is just as funny as the movie.

I thought it was comedy, but then again crude humor is nothing to me. Some real graphic language to be sure. Paul Reiser and Bob Sagat were some of the worst... which made them the best.

I heard about Bob Sagat and the Chinese-Jewish Comedian (can't remember his name...Gilbert (?) and that's why I want to see it. I couldn't get over Danny Tanner on Full House being vulgar and obsence. I mean it's Bob Sagat for Christ's sake!!

Reply To this Message

If you've ever seen his standup before Full House it wouldn't be as big of a shock. Dude is really raw. But yeah, everyone sees him as that wholesome dad from that show and the quirky talking suit on the home video show.

I liked Lucky Number Slevin too. Surprised it was that good.

Clerks 2 was great. I didn't expect it to get so raw at the end, but hey, hilarous still.

I had no idea what Lucky number Slevin was baout so when I started watching it i was like wtf is going on here. But it ended up being pretty good. Jamiekept asking whats going on and I was like it'll tell in a min. I'm glad it cleared everything up in the movie though. Some movies like that just leave you hanging and confused.


Clerks was funny. Of course my mom came over and happened to come in right at the donkey show. Yeah that was awarkard. But the funniest part of the whole movie was jay doing the guy from silence of the lambs.

I remember being over at my mom's, one Saturday, like a year ago. We (Shannon and I) had borrowed someone's Queer As Folk seasons 1 - 5 dvds, and we were watching an ep. My mom comes home and sits down in her chair. Shan and I were laying on the couch, together. Now, my mom likes QAF, so I wasn't worried. But, she fell asleep... and all of a sudden there was this gay orgy, with a ton of guys. And if you've seen QAF, they left very little to the imagination. My mom wakes up and we just started busting up, because we were embarrassed. Watching ANY sex scene, in a movie, with my mom, is just strange... and I'm 36 years old.

Aristorcrats was not available, so we rented some old horror cult classics from the 70's. 3 dvd's for the price of one! They included such classics as: Silent Night, Bloody Night~Don't Look In The Basement & Pieces. I'm somewhat of a film junkie. Lots of movie and tv stars of the past seem to start of in these cult movies. Not really scary but an interesting venture into the history of horror movies. I hadn't seen a rotary dial phone in years.

Fell asleep watching Batman Begins on HBO and woke up in the middle of the night and a wink-wink-hubba-hubba-voot-voot-hibidy-hibidy movie was on. Some chesty broad going crazy, it like shocked me for a second. Then I shut it off and crashed. Wish I would have taped it.

We just purchased, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest.

Watched it just now, and I really liked it. Wasn't as good of a story line. The first was a lot better. But, the special effects were completely ass kicking. Those peeps on Davy Jones ship looked so damn real.

Are you sure you fell asleep? Were you making a tent in your bed again?

Don't worry, it'll come back to you.

I was thinking of buying that on DVD. Since I don't own the first movie, I may skip it and just do a rental. I love Johnny Depp!

Saw The Holiday with the lady over the weekend. Actually liked it, not bad for a chick flick. Took a few good turns. Not overly hacky. Great date movie for sure.

Cameron Diaz is a horrible actress. I mean bad. No real character growth either. Sad because the I felt she consumed most of the movies attention. The rest of the cast saves it though. Jack Black is quirky enough to get by in any role and was great comedy relief. Kate Winslet came off like a Bridget Jones-ish, hapless butt of the joke but grew a lot. Jude Law breaks through the normal ladies man role he usually fills and shows some chops.

-HECK!

Reply To this Message

Posted by: illuminate

agreed. cameron diaz was awful in this movie. Jude Law was great. Kate Winslet was great. Jack Black was great. They should have gotten someone else to be Cameron's character. She stunk.

and I love Ed Burns.

This was a good movie.

Reply To this Message

Posted by: HECK!

Ed Burns is dope. I would say if somehow Ed Burns was Jack Black's character that would be cool, but only Black could have done the things which made his characters so unique.

The Cameron Diaz part could of and should of have been played by someone, anyone else. Rachel McAdams, Ashley Judd, Reese Witherspoon, my butt, doesn't matter.

I was driving down the mountain from Big Bear once and a bee APPARENTLY came into the car. My friend in the back started using her "teacher voice" to get me to pull over at the next turnout so I knew something was wrong. my other friend in the passenger seat started freaking out. i started yelling WHAT IS IT WHAT IS IT?

That's like double bad.

I had this almost finished bottle of water I was using as an ash tray. Had about three cigs in it that turned the water brown overnight. I picked it up to drop one more in it and throw the thing away but I spilled it on my pants on the way to work. I wreaked like a nasty wet ash tray.

On HBO the other day there was Star Wars episode II, IV and VI on all at once. I kept flipping through them and couldn't stop. It was glorious.

It was the Special Edition of Jedi though. Stupid band scene in Jabba's palace is terrible. But did you know that the green slave girl's boobie falls out before she gets dumped in that pit with the monster?

-HECK!

No... I have to say that I've never noticed that before, Heck. But, leave it to you to find that in a movie.

Oh man, I wish that I would have seen those on tv. I would have had to put the brakes on the remote control and watch them. I have the videos, and dvd's, but it's just something about certain movies you see, on tv. You MUST stop and watch them. To not, would be a sin.

The Matrix movies were on, over the weekend, and I kept watching them.

I rented North Country starring Charlize Theron. It was decent & my eyes welled up at the end. GHOST was on tbs today & is one of my faves. I was kinda spooked by it at first but then I fell in love. It was a date movie first time I saw it. Has anyone seen THE GOOD SHEPHERD or BLOOD DIAMOND? I can't decide which is going to be worth my $14.00 at the cinema.

I watched Ghost when it was on. It has been a long time since I saw it. Good movie. We are watching the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie right now. Kind of boring in parts to me.
I watched the very first episode of Alias a couple of days ago. That was better than a lot of movies I have seen.

Freaky Friday - the original is MUCH better. But, I just had to see this newer version.

Space Cowboys - special movie to me, because it was the last movie my father went to see at the theatre before his cancer got too bad, and he loved it.

If Only - it was okay... but the ending had me in tears. I hate movies that end like this.

Queen of the Damned dvd, Doom (unrated) dvd, Silent Hill dvd. I fell asleep during parts of SH as it made no sense to me and was slow moving.

Was Queen of the Damned any good?
Did you read the books (the series) that Rice wrote?
Did the movie follow the book, for the most part?


You know what... I loved Doom. I don't know why. It wasn't like it was some academy award winning movie. But, I have this thing about movies with Duane Johnson (formerly known as The Rock). I like seeing all of his movies. I have a little crush on him, or something. So, I enjoyed it. And, Karl Urban was in the movie, and I love him too... since I saw him, as Cupid and Julius Caesar, on Xena and Hercules. He's a doll.
And, I was a HUGE fan of the original game, Doom. I played that game, every single day, when I was going to college. I spent HOURS upon HOURS playing it. I knew every damn map like the back of my hand.


Didn't see, and won't see, Silent Hill. I can't even stand the trailer of the movie on the preview channel on my cable for the pay-per-view. I hate horror (and I mean really bad horror... Doom isn't horror, in my opinion).

Lawless: I've read all of Anne Rice's novels & love them. The books are supreme compared to the movies. QOTD was ok. I liked the music more. Lots of missing background details ie: the Ancients. If you don't read Rice it would be confusing. Interview With A Vampire is a much better movie. I only discovered Doom 6 yrs ago. It's so much fun? So that's where I recognize Reaper from!! Xena! You triggered my memory! Karl Urban is hottt! I loved Cupid. I used to watch Xena every Sat. but I missed the season when Xena died. Gosh! Now Ima gonna have to catch up on those episodes. I'm gonna watch or try to play doom. I have friends over now so when I get a chance. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lady In The Water (It's better if you know going in it's supposed to be like a fairytale bedtime story and not a horror movie. I watch thinking it was going to be a horror flick and was a bit confused, but knowing its a bedtime story clears a few things up) im still wondering why storys hair went from red to blonde though

An American Haunting (pretty good movie kinda creepy, I was the only one in the room that knew what happen was what was going to happen, very few movies suprise me)

Fight Club ( love this movie, it was the first movie I grabbed off the stack of dvds at teh house, popped it in in the car, now that a movie that suprised me, sort of, I kinda had an idea or what was goona happen)

Side note: I fell asleep during Silent Hill too. I kinda want to finished watching it one day. It was really slow though, Working third if a movie is slow, I'm out, I don't get enough sleep to be able to sleep through it.

Oh yeah we went and watched Charlottes Web too. Jamie made fun of me cause I cried, even though that creepy ass spider creeped me out. It looked and moved like a real frikin spider, they could have made it a little cuter or something.

I counted 32 movies in my dvd collection that are still in shrink-wrap unopened. Some I have seen & added to my stash, others were in the bargain bin & were the ones I never got around to seeing, some are classic or "cult" movies. Recently I watched THE FIFTH ELEMENT for the first time. I didn't fall asleep but I should have. Chris Tucker's character nearly drove me to insanity! Who's idea to put him in this movie? Did anyone on here like this movie and why? I can't think of any positives about the movie-it was soooo hokey. anyway that's my taste I heard DREAMGIRLS is doing well. Former American Idol Jennifer Hudson is getting Oscar raves for her singing and acting I watched SHAUN OF THE DEAD (excellent btw...) and tried for the second time to watch THE LAST SAMURAI When the new t.v season starts I'll be taping my shows & watching them later.

I still haven't added it to my collection... well, I did have it, but my ex got it, for some reason! And I loved Chris Tucker in the movie. His Ruby Rhod character was over the top, and I loved it. Then again, I'm just a fan of Chris'.

I also really liked The Last Samurai. It was slow in some parts, but it was a beautiful movie. It's one in my collection. I think that Tommy did a great job as Capt. Nathan Algren. His drunken exploits in the beginning were great. He just made me see a really drunk man, who wanted to just die.

Fifth Element was cool. The more I watch it the more I realize it could have been better as far as casting and dialogue go. But Luc Besson rules so anything he does is awesome. The first time I caught it I had to cover my ears when Tucker was screaming. Pissed me off so much.

Last Samurai is hella dope. I have read up on the Samurai culture for a while now. Cruise was really good in it.

Thanks guys! I'll give the Samurai another chance later on. I guess for Fifth Element I had to be in the mood for that. I liked Serenity a whole lot. Futuristic with great lines of comedy.

Still think Tucker is annoying though...

Yeah, he is rough at parts for sure. Overall the movie works.

Well tell me something: Was Lei Loo (the 5th Element) a monster thing like the ones at the beginning and was killed and they regenerated the hand and it became her? How did it come about that it's this "perfect" specimen? Is she immortal or what. Just those questions from your knowledge. I'll try to look it up on a fan site or whatever. Also, why didn't those people Bruce Willis put in the fridge die?

From what I gathered, the 5th Element chick was the 'perfect being' with power that can combat this ominous evil thing that tries to smear Earth every so many centuries. How did it come about? Who knows. Never says how. The monster guys were just protecting her.

I guess she was in that case and would somehow regenerate or come back to life. She might be one of several members of the species these weird aliens use. She might be immortal. I dunno.

And it's the future, being put in the fridge doesn't kill you. If you can buy Chinese food from a flying boat outside your window I think we can let frozen people come back from the dead.

Good answer HECK! So with that theory no one should really die in the future then. Bummer!

Thanks for the insight. I still think it's a hokey movie though. Makes Star Wars seem "realistic".

A lot of moments where you gotta suspend disbelief. The were quick to get to the big chunks of the plot and not offer too much of an explantion as to how or why this crap works. Could have taken out parts of Tucker screaming like a woman (and making my ears bleed) and plugged a few plot holes instead, eh?

One thing I will say about Besson. The dude has produced a crap load of movies. A lot of foreign flicks... still, he's been a busy man over the years. I LOVED, La Femme Nikita. The original, French version, was amazing.

Well, I'm a bit miffed, right now. I got my movie, in the mail, from Blockbuster.com, and it wasn't what I ordered, though, I thought that it was correct. I ordered, "Underworld: Evolution" and it's what I did receive... and I put it in the dvd player, and pushed power. It loads up, and what do I see: extra options. So, I hit eject and look at the disc picture: Disc 2. I could watch some making of, and those extras. But, not the actual movie. They should have sent disc 1. *sigh* What a lovely f' up by the company.

We watched The Family Stone on cable over the weekend. The MIL said it made her think of Ron. Well, wtf? Who the hell is Ron in the movie? I get that I am the girlfriend that they all hate, but Ron saw it and he thinks the closest he comes to any of them is the gay black guy.

That movie is soooooo funny! Loved it. Screw what you're MIL thinks about the movie, or you!!!

Tell her to see the movie, "Mother-in-Law" because she's been like that.
She needs a TRUE slap of reality in my opinion!! And Damon will deliver it.

When we saw that movie, Ron laughed and said "oooh you would soooo outmanuver a mother like that". Yeah I would.

When the movie first came out I had a few people tell me it sucked so I never bothered to see it.

It wasn't until a friend of mine convinced me it was an awesome movie that I bought it and watched it and LOVED it. It's a good movie, I still can't get Jamie to sit through it though. I tell you he's worse than me about falling asleep during movies. If it's not a movie he picks out I can pretty much garentee that he's going to go to sleep no matter how good I tell him it is.

Fight Club is a damn good movie, and had an ending that made me go... "No f'n way!" I just didn't see that "twist" at all. I know that some people did... but, I just didn't. Maybe it's because I was just too damn fixated on Brad Pitt the entire time, or something.

I didn't see it coming either. But every time I watch it after it's so obvious.

Plus, Brad Pitt appears for a split second about 3 or 4 times before his character is introduced. Try to look for him.

Awesome movie, one of my favorites.

I bought the book, great read.

I think she was on a ship, and all ready to do her thing, then it was destroyed. All that was left was the hand. They took it and put it in the glass case, and used the DNA in it to rebuild a new person from scratch.

The DNA rebuilder dude, the one with bad acne, said something about she had a bizillion more DNA codes that we do. Or genes. Whatever.

So that's why she was more or less stupid the whole movie, and had to learn how to talk, etc. Whatever she was on the ship before she died would have probably showed up, told them all to get the relics ready, how to use them, then power herself up to be the ultimate weapon.

The way it happened, she was a clone of herself. I thought she was pretty HOT by the way.

I loved the movie till around the part where Meatloaf buys the farm. At first the movie is fresh and new and totally unexpected, so off the beaten path of what Hollywood puts out.

But towards the end, it got to much for me, gives me a headache everytime I watch it.

Yeah I guess most guys would find a girl in a band-aid HOT. Maybe I should read the book... A friend of mine said they would drop off dvds of Dreamgirls & The Departed this Sunday. I ask NO questions, so we'll see. irate:

Wait, Meatloaf was in F.Club? I own the dvd & didn't spot him! Was he Bob with the boobs? I guess I was too distracted by Brad & Ed. Kept thinking about being the meat in a Norton/Pitt sandwich.

I like the movie The Fifth Element overall. Last time I watched it though I forgot about some of the gross parts. They definitely could
