If anyone gets a chance, peep Un Prophete. It was nominated for Best Foreign flick. I think it was much better than any of the 10 noms in the Best Pic category.

[quote=Mattyk;671148]I haven't seen Avatar yet and I probably won't. Mark me down as one of those that just doesn't get it.

I'll be seeing Hurt Locker soon, have it coming from Netflix next.

I'm still trying to figure out why District 9 was even nominated for best picture.[/quote]

I didnt think i would go see Avatar either,but if you go see it in imax 3d I think youd really enjoy it

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

caught Old Dogs tuesday,not great but not as bad as the critics made it out to be.
Pulled double duty tonite and went and saw Shitty Island,I mean Shutter Island,it was just ok to me,I didnt think it was that great and judging by other peoples comments I heard leaving I wasnt alone.Came home and watched Up in the Air,didnt really like the ending that much for reasons I wont say cause I dont want to spoil it for somebody,but overall it was a good movie,I liked it better than Shutter Island

Saw the new Star Trek over the weekend, great flick. That franchise is officially back.

Hey man, I saw House of the Devil a while back- excellent horror, for sure. Throwback to the gritty 70s feel of the genre. Did you check out The Crazies?

Nope not yet but seems to be getting good reviews.

I finally watched the hangover. It was good. I had Jaiger-flash-backs. That's the thing about Jaiger or Southern Comfort. You start to drink em and then you wake up in county lock up, naked. What happened? Jaiger happened.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Tonight I'm watching that movie with Jamie Fox and Skillet. Homie gets locked up but manages to kill the corrupt cops from inside jail with his mind powers. I can dig that. If only we all had Jedi powers to MOFO the man.

I was really waiting for this movie and I thought it was goi nto be funny as hell and it was at the start when he discovers how to lie but midway to the movie specially all about marriage i tought it got so forced and it lost the way.

It started interesting, funny and diferent and it ending in another romantic comedy that don't know how to end it but they force the endign at the end.... the idea was great.. and thre are a lot of funny moments in it but for me a let down

Funny People? Not only are you horrible at picking an NFL team to cheer for you suck at picking movies. Funny People was probably one of the worst movies I saw in 2009.

Last night started watching Band of Brothers on Blu Ray, just beautiful.

Reign Over Me had potential but it was a snore fest if you ask me

You watching The Pacific?

Well in a effort to reduce wasteful spending I cut HBO but I may watch it at the folks on their on demand or just wait for Blu Ray but yes eventually I will watch it.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Law Abiding Citizen was bad. First of all the POS lawyer Jamie Fox doesn't get what he has coming to him. The plot was a stretch and the good guy dies in the end. I was thoroughly disappointed.

Sorry. I always assume that everyone has already seen the movies that I watch because I watch so few. Perhaps I didn't ruin it? You're idea of a good guy is probably different than mine. Go watch it and judge for yourself.

I hope you know I was joking.

I say [U]Food,Inc.[/U] was a pretty powerful movie but to argue movies is kind of a waste of time, it be like arguing favorite colors.

Just saw this in another forum FYI:


[I]Be careful about downloading torrents of hbo shows. Some internet providers will shut down your internet if you are caught. I used to download entourage and true blood until one day our internet wasn't working. I called cox communications and asked what the deal was and they said I was downloading a particular hbo show and if I'm caught again, I will be banned from cox service. some how they track your ip address from seeding. I even thought I could get around around it by deleting the torrent off of utorrent as soon as it was done downloading. They still busted me. Luckily this was all in my old roommates name since he was the one who had the account in his name. Some internet providers are anal about it and some aren't. I also got caught downloading the new indiana jones movie over a year ago.[/I]

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw Precious last night, wow just wow. Really really powerful film. To think someone in this country is living that life right now breaks my heart.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I want to see Precious. My boss said it was really powerful and disturbing though

Say 500 Days of Summer this weekend. Decent movie. I've got a bit of a crush on Zooey Deschanel though. So that made it more appealing.

Yeah, I've downloaded a few movies from Torrents, but I've tried not to abuse it. It's just a matter of time before they completely shut it down though.

I do it all the time I download every show and movie out there I do it because first that way I skip commercial and second I watch them at whatever time I want I just got used to it I have a DVD recorder but use it for other shows and games not the tv shows...

And with movies well I do it with the ones not worth going to movies.... but yeah I see how it can be dangerous if your internet provider can check your IP if that's teh case use an IP blocker program so you have no IP adress when you download.

I don't think it will never shut down technology moves way to fast and people that want to cut ways allways find a new way to do it... if it didn't get shot down after napster I don't see it happenning.


[B]500 Days of summer[/B] was good but I expect more of that movie heard rave reviews of it liked the format but at the end it just didn't do it all the way for me.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Watched Brothers last night pretty good movie. Definitly worth catching.

I want to see the The Messangers as well when it comes out on DVD.

But I really can't wait to see Clash of the Titans in 3D! I loved that movie growing up.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine. It had some moments but I wanted to like it more than I did. Perverted Back to the Future basically

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I am planning on watching "From Paris with Love" with my wife tonight. Is it worth it or should I go looking for something else? It's hard getting her to agree on movies with me. If she had it her way we would either be watching Dear John or Valentines Day. If I had it mine we would be watching Avatar or Hot Tub Time Machine.
