7 Samurai / shichinin no samurai

I had my very first Akira Furosawa experience last night . I saw Shichinin no samurai and I loved it ALOT. Even though its a LOOONG movie , it wasnt boring for a sec , and I loved every oen of the 207 minutes of it .
RECOMMENDED!*although everyone has prolly already seen it since its a famous classic n all..*

Narnia: 7/10
Would have been a lot more enjoyable if I hadn't watched it in a room full of people who kept talking to eachother and getting up and wandering around and trying to catch a cat and also the phone kept ringing. I lost track of what was going on because of all the interruptions.

Harry Potter 4:

Felt like loads of side material ended up on the cutting room floor (especially stuff featuring the other wizard cup contestants, or just any scene that would've not featured Harry), though the editing was done quite well in my opinion, as the movie had a pleasant flow and didn't feel overly long. Daniel Radcliffe still isn't much of an actor, Emma Watson's probably going to grow up to be a hottie if she tweezes her eyebrows just a little more, and Rupert Grint will no doubt become a great character actor, mainly comedic.

Enjoyable movie. I'm not a great Harry Potter buff though I've read the first five books, but fun was had. Those French girls were pretty hot (onh-honh-honh-honh).

Quote from: StrawpegarrotClockSeriously, go kill yourself. I would enjoy that very much.

I just saw Chronicles of Narnia tonight and I'd say overall I really liked the film.  I had problems with the story and feeling as though they rushed it to fit it all in.  It seemed like a slow paced discovery of the wardrobe and the world and the next minute they're in battle.  I wish I could kick that little girl in the face.  Worst actor of the year award.

I would also love to bring up Ocean's Twelve because I feel it's highly underappreciated.  I didn't get to see it in the theatre's because I predicted it to be a flop and everyone who went and saw it told me it was crap.  I saw it on DVD and the cinematography made me jizz my pants.  So Wes Anderson-ish.  The story wasn't as bad as everyone made it out as.  I mean the fact they used Julia Roberts as herself was pretty gay, but I didn't think it was that bad of a film.

Now if anyone can tell me if they've found a way to see thumbsucker or not and if it was any good I'd love you.


Thumbsucker actually came out in theatres near me and some kid invited me to go but I never did and I regret it every day of my life.  Apparently it's supposed to be good.

FMA the movie : Shanbara wo Yuku Mono

Saw it yesterday . It was good , but not really topping my expectancies . I waited for this so long and was looking forward to a satisfying ending to a great story at last , but the ending was kind of .. Hmm well it was a real ending , but kind of unlogical . Ed couldve just gone back , asked the gypsy chick to destroy the gate and then go thru the gate again and have babies with Winry . IMHO.

Just watched The Chronicles of Narnia . It was decent. As was stated previously with redundancy, yes, very stunted accelaration of the plot then supplemented by a rushed ending left me wanting more, but not willing to give it another go.

The animal CGI was quite neat though, and the Ice Queen was fucking awesome. That hair is everything I've ever wanted in a 7 foot tall dominatrix with magic powers.

The Aviator - 9/10

DiCaprio's acting is perfect in this film.  He plays his character as well as Johnny Depp does his.  However, I didn't find the ending fulfilling enough, despite how long the movie was (over 3 hours).

The 40 Year Old Virgin - 7/10

Plotwise, this movie just sucks.  However, Steve Carrel is a great actor, so he made it pretty funny.  I probably would have given it an 8 if it weren't for the outrageously random ending.  It was so fucking stupid.  But other than it, it's pretty good stuff.

Aliens - 9.5/10

Great sequel to one of the greatest horror films of all time.  I think it's almost or just as good as the first.

I remember in the book that she didn't describe what the other contestants did and Harry had to find out from Ron later on or something. I guess they could have improvised to make the film seem more balanced but I guess it would have got a bit long.

40 year old virgin, enjoyed it very much, but the ending sucked.

They said "We'll either make it in 2 movies, or cut out anything that isn't relative to the plot and release it as 1 movie"

Batman Begins - 9.5/10

This is really a fantastic film.  Christopher Nolan is a great director, and it really shows with all the effects he pulls off.  This is definently one of the greatest comic book films ever (in fact, I'd say it's second only to Sin City).  The acting is great, especially from Cillian Murphey.  He is really damn evil.

Saw 2- Survival horror, above par.

Memoirs of a Geisha- Better than you would expect, me and my girlfriend watched it twice.

Aeon Flux - Weak high-budget action flick, linear plot, etc. Don't pay money to see this.

The Ringer - Great comedy, though nothing revolutionary, I've never seen Johnny Knoxville act like this before, you can tell he wanted some stuntwork, but all he got was a scene with a police attack dog.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - 10/10 flawless

This movie is incredible.  Just go rent it now if you haven't seen it...  Jack Nicholson is better than ever, and the rest of the acting is exceptional, too.  It is really one of the greatest stories put onto screen.

Yeah really really great directing, it's not that often that you see proper photographic type shots in films but Batman Begins did it quite a lot. The one thing I found annoying though was the fight scenes, the camera angle changed every second or two, which made it really really hard to tell what the hell was going on. When he was fighting thugs and stuff this kinda worked because it conveyed the confusion of the thugs and the speed and bla bla bla of Batman, but when he was fighting the main bad guy (whose name I can't remember now) it would have been a lot better if the camera had been mostly stationary. It was probably to disguise the crappiness of their fighting I guess. The best bit for me was when Bruce wakes up after his first Batman outing and Alfred is stirring a pill into some water and all you hear is the clink of the spoon against the glass really really loud - that's such a great portrayal of waking up with a headache/hangover.
