The Movies

Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.

Aha! Gotcha. I completely agree. He can be long winded, but Res Dogs wasn't.

I keep coming back to these films. They crack me up even after multiple viewings.

No, no, ... none of them are for kids.

Wedding Crashers

The 40 Year Old Virgin

Superbad

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I thought I was going to die laughing when I first saw "There's Something About Mary" (despite Favre's bad acting - sorry Brett). That has got to be one of the funniest movies ever made. Loved Borat too. And though childish, I thought Jacka** The Movie was kinda funny.

I love animated comedies too, my favorite being Family Guy. That show just kills me. I love the Simpsons and Robot Chicken too.

09' wasn't THAT great for film, I did see Bottleshock, and The Boat That Rocked, liked those a lot.

Saw State Of Play, the Russel Crowe / Leo DiCaprio film, and that was actually pretty bad, and I really like political and political thrillers a lot.

Tropic Thunder of course!!!

RockNRolla was great! But I am a HUGE Guy Ritchie fan.

also saw The Ugly Truth, which was just................Don't Even.

Just saw AVATAR which someone just posted a description saying it was like Dances With WOlves mixed with Final Fantasy and that is really right on and couldn't believe I didn't think about that.

WAR INC. was pretty good.

FOOD INC was REALLY GOOD.

I am excited for the new Bad Lieutenant supposedly Nicholas Cage is amazing and back to his totally stressed manic'd out self.

2 favorite movies of the would be Avatar and The Hurt Locker.


IMO Avatar was a truly amazing technical achievement. James Cameron, like him or not, deserves props for the level of innovation he brought to the industry with this film.

Yup...sure did.

This is one that you really shouldn't wait for the dvd/blu-ray. The 3D is worth it for sure.

Somebody likened the movie to me as mainstream furry porn with Jake Sully living out a "fursona" and it kind of creeped me out. I know its totally subjective, but that costs a point, I'm sorry. 6.5/7 out of 10.

I rarely go to the movies anymore - but watch out for alot of stuff they put in there over the next year or 2.

That's all I'll say.

District 9 is the stupidest movie I've seen in a long long time.

I tried giving it a chance but the people I was with said to stop it. Only got through the first 20 minutes or so. Interesting concept. Wish I could've finished it.

I thought it was pretty good. But I can certainly see how it wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea.

I thought it was a solid movie too.

As far as The Hurt Locker, wasn't all that impressed. Especially with all the buzz about just how great it supposedly was.
