Press Junketeer Posts: 407 Joined: 1 Nov 2007 | Just recently rewatched Fight Club. Love that movie. Also watched The Fly. Its a lot like Alien. A 80's Sci-Fi horror. Great movie. I also try Mad Max...My god, what do people see in that movie!?! |

Muckraker Posts: 256 Joined: 13 Jan 2008 | I just watched I Am Legend for the first time, and it was pretty nice. It has a few of it's unexpected points, and I was really hoping the movie would end on a 'downer'. But all things considered, I liked it. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1549 Joined: 5 Dec 2007 | A.I, most revolting movie I have seen, including Clockwork Orange. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2030 Joined: 7 Mar 2008 |
the book is better, tho the best version of the book is "the last man on earth" staring Vincent Price, tho the omega man with Charlton Heston was ok
a Clockwork Orange was brilliant, pretty close to the book cept the end but Kubrick had a version that ended in the hospital. AI was crap, even tho he wrote it, it's Speilberg who made the movie and it doesn't even have that surreal look Kubrick gave to his films, he tried and tried badly |

Copy Clerk Posts: 54 Joined: 3 Jul 2008 | I just saw Handcahk. It was o.k, but i would have rather seen Get Smart. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 65 Joined: 19 Mar 2008 | The man from Earth. Incredible film, find it, see it. It's so refreshing to watch a film that doesn't need impressive, big budget special effects (or indeed any at all) yet can still keep me gripped to the end despite visually being nothing more than several characters in a house. Again, find it, see it, you will not be disappointed. |

Sounds like Primer. It's more than just people in a house, but it's one of the lowest budget full length films I've ever seen. |
Paperboy Posts: 46 Joined: 23 May 2008 | On DVD: Season 1 of "The Wire" - The ONLY American TV show with any heart, soul, and balls! I admire (and welcome) any installment which challenges the fragile conventions of human convolutedness through religious heresy, media circus control, and overall hypocrisy, and one in which I "learn something". I challenge anyone here to find a show that gives a 50-50 split attention with detectives/law enforcement AND a drug empire in (insert locale here, though the series takes place in Baltimore), or a show that doesn't suffocate on dried pieces of its own fecal, sugarcoated pretentiousness. This show gives me hope that at least outside South Park, The Boondocks (comic and animated series), Metalocalypse, Futurama, and Pixar films (yeah, a majority of them are animated, I know...I have this fond hatred of watching young and old folks on commericals and regulated cable excrement popping out 'clever' and 'sassy' phrases; trust me, it's painful, and I live in the U.S.A. too). I highly recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it; those who have, disregard. I plan to see the other seasons in the future. When The Last Sword Is Drawn - A recent samurai film from Yojiro Takita, I enjoyed it. Excellent action, dead-on pacing, some blurbs of humor and repose, an unpredictable and affecting storyline. It features a samurai named Kanichiro who used to train students and be a part of a certain clan, then left his home and family to join a group to protect the Shogun (took place around the Edo period). Even when he was away, the guy sent whatever money he had to his family...it's just awesome. I recommend it for anyone into these type of films. United 93 - Wow, powerful...intense...not sucky. Everything a movie should be, although it focused more on four young hijackers and their plot to take down the plane rather than the people on board, but I later learned there were interviews with members of those who lost their lives on that fated collision. I hope I didn't ruin the appeal. Anyway, worth seeing; better than a lot of the 9/11 garbage out there, especially that Oliver Stone movie (can't remember the name, but it was crap). In cinema: WALL-E - Outside of the characters, profound charm, and slow-paced but well-executed humor of Azumanga Daioh (and Yotsuba&!), I have never stated ANYTHING else as being 'cute' or 'adorable'. But one look at the petite, titular character of Pixar's latest high-quality, kick-ass film, I seriously went 'Awwwww!!' 'Nuff said! Wall-E is just friggin' adorable...the way he moves around with his little tank treads, the little noises he makes, the things he collects, and damn, the way he waves...awwwww! In Azumanga Daioh, I've thought that all throughout when viewing the daily odysseys of Osaka (Ayumu Kasuga), Tomo, Sakaki, Chiyo-chan, Yomi, Kagura, and the others (same with the manga Yotsuba&! with Yotsuba, Fuka, Ena, Asagi, Kowaii, Jumbo, etc), but now, I have another installment to unwind this 'warm, fuzzy' sentiment. They got the same director who worked on Finding Nemo, and I loved that movie as well. In fact, I will proudly go view WALL-E again in the near future. By the way, this is the ONLY movie I looked forward to this year, and I'm spent. |

Wait, you mean "A.I.: Artificial Intelligence" with that Haley Joel Osment kid or something? I thought that was one of the best movies ever. Recently I saw The Hulk. It started off very "meh", but it got amazing and stayed amazing for the whole second half. All in all: amazing. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 382 Joined: 21 Jun 2008 | Last movie I saw in the cinema's was Indianna Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I didn't mind it even though it was a little stupid in parts. I saw House of the Dead (yes the Uwe Boll film) on Foxtel the other day, man people weren't kidding about how bad that film is. I mean Boll even spliced actual gameplay footage in the film for transitions. And I have no idea how the female leads breasts stayed in her top throughout the film, that was the biggest mystery to me. Also an old pirate is using zombie technology to live forever, how exactly did a convict from the 1700's learn how to use Biochemistry so advanced it can raise the dead and keep people immortal? Nothing is explained, oh and the ending was just hilarious. Last TV show I watched was the Footy Show (AFL), yesterday. Good episode all round. |

Man, I so wanna go see Wall-E! Damn this isolated geographical oddity! |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 902 Joined: 14 May 2008 | I saw Aliens (my favorite movie.) Then I saw my friends "Aliens remix" which he told me is improved because he messed around with a couple of things like re enconding the sound to dts etc. well it's basically the entire movie again except near the end right as Ripley tells the queen to "Get away from her you bitch!" right as she said bitch it went to two girls one cup as the one chick pooped into the cup. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2667 Joined: 18 Dec 2007 | I saw the Get Smart movie. Pretty funny in places. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2112 Joined: 4 Nov 2007 | Kung Fu Panda (loved it) and Sex and the City because Get Smart was overbooked by the idiots at the theatre. It was fun but it had no plot. It meandered and enjoyed itself by basically giving fan service to Sex fans. Not being one of this distinct species I still managed to get a good piece of fun out of it. Oh, and it had the most explicit sex scenes I've seen in a mainstream Hollywood movie. |

I so would have preferred to see that over my veiwing on Hancock upon refelxion; the only part I kinda liked was the derailment scene. |
