Merged: The Movies Thread

Agreed, but it's getting to the point now were it's just getting overused. These days it seems like every other video game, TV show, and movie has Nazis in it.

Still I kind of want to see that movie.



What the hell does Robert Downey Jr look like? I swear I've never seen two pictures of him where he looks the same.

just watchin that part in big lebowski where jesus pulls up his purple socks, bowls and does a dance to the gypsy king sounding version of hotel california . . . pretty sweet.

I saw District 9 yesterday and it wasn't as good as I was hoping. In the end it was just a scifi action movie. Didn't live up to the hype for me.

yeah the advertising had me interested and i normally stay away from sci-fis.

im a big tarantino fan. love his dialogue, camera storyline work even if he bits off older akira kurosawa, kung fu, comic books and old school movies. hes one of the few directors including scorcese, coen bros that ill go see every movie of. good thing is the great directors imo only do a movie every few years, if were lucky.

I used to really like Martin Scorcese, but recently, he's lost it for me. I hated Bringing Out the Dead, hated Gangs of New York, disappointed with The Aviator, and hated The Departed.

The last thing I liked that he did was Casino, and that was basically a ripoff of Goodfellas.

Now he's got Leo DiCaprio starring as both Frank Sinatra and Theodore Roosevelt in upcoming flicks. I can't think of another filmmaker I used to love become somebody I can't stand anymore.

didnt see the first one,but liked the other 3.Didnt like the ending of the departed,but up until that point I thought it was really good.I like happy endings:laughing2

I saw Inglorious Basterds last night. Absolutely loved it. It had everything I wanted in an action movie, plenty of action, lots of dark humor - Tarantino style, plenty of gore (bullleee dat), the soundtrack was great (very similar to the Kill Bill movies), and the ending was exactly what I had been hoping for. It delivers, imo. And it lives up to the hype for me as well. It's very safe to say it's not your typical war movie.

And for what some might say is a spoiler, I'll just put a spoiler alert here so nobody has to read this in case they don't want to, it's historically innacurate. But that doesn't matter so much because the ending is great. I'm pretty sure some won't agree with me on that but that's fine with me because I still love that movie.

I have to agree with your assertion... Tarantino killed it in this one. Pace was a bit slower than his previous films, but I definitely didn't mind- I actually would have been disappointed if the entire movie would have been an over the top bloodbath (which I loved in Kill Bill, but didn't want in IB). This may sound weird, but my favorite character in the movie was the SS Colonel... dude was mad funny.

Also co-sign on the soundtrack... QT knows his music as much as he knows film. Love him or hate him, you won't find another man whose seen more movies than Tarantino- and I guess that's why I appreciate his film-making so much.,

watched last house on the left last night. pretty decent flick. but kept thinking the 2 parents acting job left a little to be desired. almost made it a B movie

I can't believe you hated The Departed. I think it's one of the best films of the past 5 or so years. I know a few people who didn't love it, but you're the first I've heard use the word "hate."

Also, I loved Gangs of New York. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing. As far as Casino, not really a rip off of Goodfellas other than the fact it was a mob movie. Even if he did take elements from Goodfellas, who cares? It's not like he was stealing from another director.

I agree that The Aviator was pretty ho hum, and I haven't seen Bringing Out the Dead.

He's definitely enamored with Leonardo DiCaprio, but I'm okay with that. He's the best actor of our generation IMO.

Anybody heard anything about James Cameron's new flick? They say it's "revolutionary" as far as special effects:
