Meh. Really cheesy.

Blasphemy.

curbstomp

The violence and swearing seemed almost forced. Good moments, but it was a little too "preachy" (not the exact word I'm looking for, but close), and needlessly vulgar... And I've never called a movie needlessly vulgar before. Like I said, it just seemed forced, like it was all there just so it could be rated R.

I dunno, maybe. I just remember liking it. And the curbstomp.

Also, I thought it handled racism very well. Tells us that racism doesn't really do anything for us, but the ending shows that it's a reality as well.

got a funny story from that one... We were playing alot with a band called Curb... We watched the movie together, and when he says "Bite the curb" everyone from our band bit "The Curbs". Hard. They got angry, and left. Embarrassing. :ph34r:

It's Edward Norton being awesome (curbstomp... IN UNDERWEAR!) and the kid from Terminator 2 getting shot. How can you NOT love it? Even that shaven-headed, Kelly Brook-porking wanker Billy Zane seemed like a good actor in it.

RW: Not Here To Be Loved - cute French film about an older man falling in love with a younger woman through the power of tango. I love that if Hollywood or us Brits try something like this it comes over as overly-sentimental, but them French understands such things as the power of love. Yes.

The Prestige (2nd time) - fucking AWESOME movie. damn near perfect. Christopher Nolan + Christian Bale = guaranteed win.

I'm Not There - didn't totally understand what was going on in a lot of it because i know nothing about Bob Dylan but i still found it very enjoyable to watch and listen to. 8/10

Iron Man - awesomely entertaining movie. made 2 hours disappear. 8/10 + 1 for best ending ever = 9/10

I watched I'm Not There about two weeks ago and had the same reaction lol

As a Dylan fan, found it a bit ott. Cate Blanchett's bit was good, but Richard Gere is :lame:

I found I'm Not There pretty hard to sit through, tbh... maybe because I'm not actually that interested in Bob Dylan's life story.

Goat · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:52 pm

Why bother watching a film about Bob Dylan if you're not interested in him, guise? :rolleyes:

rio · **Posted:** Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:03 pm

Well, there are really two answers to that... Firstly, because I thought maybe it would turn out in the end to be interesting if I gave it a chance, and secondly, because my gf wanted to see it.

I think "The Prestige" may very well be one of my favourite movies ever! And I agree, Nolan and Bale are a killer team! .... I actually thought it was better the second time I watched it, as I didn't fully manage to understand the whole thing at first. Especially the ending is so damn great, I think it was spinning in my head for a long time after the movie ended.

Recently, I haven't watched any films. Just a bunch of TV Shows...

i also liked it better the second time, knowing the ending certain things in the movie really clicked together beautifully, like:
- Borden's wife saying that sometimes he loved her and sometimes he didn't
- Cutter telling Angiers that with some practise, the double could well be his Angiers's brother, to which he replied "i don't need him to be my brother, i need him to be me"
- Borden's wife commenting that his wound was bleeding "as bad as the first time"
stuff like that. seriously, what a great movie.

speaking of Christopher Nolan, watched Insomnia today. it was a pretty solid thriller. Al Pacino did his standard going crazy thing well and the Alaskan landscape worked nicely. 7/10

Legacy Of The Night · **Posted:** Sat Nov 01, 2008 5:02 am

Dawn Of The Dead. The new one. Still cool.

That black guy is boss. "Get that damn camera outta my face."

Priceless.

Yeah, Ving Rhames is awesome.
