The Official What was the last movie you saw??

I know you're joking, but I'd consider Batman Begins an origin/reboot of the Batman franchise, and not a part of the original canon of the first 4 films. The characters in BB and TDK don't exist in the same technicolor universe as Burton or Schumaker's films. Nolan's world is much more dark and realistic.

Two other points I failed to mention in my original review:

1: They nailed the design of the Batcave.
2: The soundtrack is much better this time out.

 

Honest question: the musical soundtrack or the audio soundtrack?

 

Musical Soundtrack - James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer's score actually seems to have themes and isn't a jumble of noise. Well, except for the Joker's theme, but that's where dissonance works.

 

Forgot I rented two movies this weekend.

1. 'Cocaine Cowboys' - A documentary on the Cocaine Wars in South Florida in the 70's and 80's. Great movie. Recommend it to anyone from South Florida as it describes how a few people made millions trafficking coke for the Medeijin (sp?) cartel in Columbia.

2. 'Trade' - Pretty good movie. Kevin Kline is solid as a detective who decides to help a young mexican boy look for his 13 yr old sister after she is sold into slavery. It really highlights the sex-slave problem that is often overlooked.

A certain part of the ending kind of had me scratching my head, but still a solid overall flick.

 

Equilibrium- 5 out of 5, great flick really surprised me.

 

3. Harvey Dent isn't Lando Carlrissian.

 

I agree, Maggie G was alot more believable than Katie Holmes. I dont think Holmes is a good actress anyways.

 

My margin is larger, but i concur and the point is the same.

 

To me Rambo is Rambo: First Blood Part II.

Sylvester Stallone wanted to call part 4 John Rambo, but didn't want to state as he did with Rocky Balboa, that it was meant to be the final Rambo film. So he hesitated before releasing it in the theaters, and released it as Rambo. But, he has since changed it back to John Rambo. Just like Lucas changed the name of Star Wars to Episode IV: A New Hope.

Got any weapons? You aint gonna change anything!

 

good cover

 

The Invisible - entertaining, but nothing special IMO. It got to be very predictable towards the end.

 

The Ruins- OK movie

 

Meet the Spartans.

Pure garbage punctuated with a few funny moments and Carmen Electra.

 

The Dark Knight - A

Great movie! The movie was like a rollercoaster that never really slowed down and was great

 

You actually watched that movie?

 

Shhhhh.....I was bored, there was nothing else on, someone had me at gunpoint and I had been drinking.

 

Hellboy 2 - Completely the opposite direction of The Dark Knight. Nicely put together film, lots of eye candy. It's Del Toro, so expect some crazy visuals. 4.5/5

 

understandable.

 

Hancock- 3 out 5, not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Pretty predictable but rather entertained by it.

 

21 - okay movie..7/10. Thought it would be better.

 

The Invasion, 3 out 5, Sort of a borefest but it was pretty enjoyable.

 

WarGames, the 25th anniversary big screen return!

 

'Funny Games' - Quite possibly the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. Its actually a remake...from a 1997 film of the same name... with the same director. Im usually a fan of Serial Killer movies but this one takes the genre to a whole new level IMO.

3 out of 5.

Spoiler

Dont expect any gratification from the ending either. Theres a very 'American Psycho' type moment that leaves you scratching your head

 

did you know they are supposed to be making a sequel to this?

 

Yeah, they showed the trailer for it. Meh.

 

not sure if this is it or not, but if so....it looks like a real DOG....

That's the one.

 

Dr. No - Very good movie!

 

The Dark Knight.

Its going to win the Oscar for best movie ever.

 

The Bank Job- Good movie

 

Unfortunately I watched the Ruins yesterday. What a load of garbage that was. Lately it seems like I only get 1 good movie out of every ten that I see.

 

Takashi Miike's "Gozu." Somebody wanna tell me what the hell was going on in that movie?

 

That was a twisted movie.

 

Step Brothers....pretty damn funny.

"Boats n' Hoes"

Spoiler

Yeah, I liked that movie also.

 

Just got finished watching Felon.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117385/

Its a pretty good movie, but man it is scary to think that can actually happen to people. I would have done the same thing and wound up in prison myself. Of course I would have done anything to try and get a better lawyer, and not go with the public defender.

 

Watched 'One Missed Call' or something rather the other night...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479968/

It was OK....but lacked that 'The Grudge' fear factor I like about Japanese horror flicks...they tried though.
