The Hangover Part II
8/10

I think the Part I is much better though.

I give Hangover Part II 4/10. First one was much better and the ending was insulting

Hangover 2 is the kind of movie where you feel like you should be cracking up but you are forcing it a little.

I liked The Muppets.

Hangover 2 was actually funnier than I expected it to be. I loved the first one so I thought the 2nd one would be a colossal failure because of how funny the first one was.

And I recently watched Bridesmaids....9/10

Watched 'Teeth' last night on IFC. Scariest concept for a horror movie if you're a guy. It's about vagina dentata.

Saw Conan last night, can't match the first one with Arnold even with great special effects.

Yeh the Conan movie was a HUGE dissapointment. I wanted to like it but it just fell flat.

just watched the millenium trilogy this weekend

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

The Girl Who Played With Fire

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest

Really good. Good mix of whodunnit, conspiracy, rape, murder, incest and a touch of lesbianism thrown in. All of the movies were Swedish, though I was able to watch the first and third in dubbed versions.

Just Watched the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo(US version) last night really enjoyed it. 3.5/5
It was confusing on some parts and hard to follow with all the accents.:lol: But liked how they explained it all at the end.

Maybe i'll rent the other 2 now instead of waiting for the US version to come out

There has been, and will only ever be ONE! No matter how hard they try, NO ONE will EVER be a better Wonder Woman than Lynda Carter!!!!

My long-time friend Peter Piper agrees with that sentiment.

Does this have to be new movies? I watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure last night. For some reason it is nowhere NEAR as good now as it was 20 years ago. Maybe I should have "enhanced" prior :lol:

Yeah, enhanced for sure, lol. A movie like that these days would mos def be PG-13 or R. It did seem a lot funnier when I was in 10th grade.

Watched 'Cowboys & Aliens' last night. One of those movies that wasn't terrible, and wasn't awesome, but entertaining enough to keep me occupied on a Saturday night without feeling like I wasted time. The contrast of a western movie and a science fiction movie was interesting. Worth checking out if you have nothing to do.

Finally got around to watching MoneyBall.....enjoyed it (even with the small changes from the actual book)....guess Pitt is getting best actor recognition from it.

X-Men First Class....amazing!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Surprising. Really enjoyed it. I've seen them all...even the one where a school bus is used as a machine of war lol. This film is arguably as good as the first one, mostly because of the use of special effects. They let you see the mind of Caesar.

Highly recommended and you don't need to see the previous movies to understand it. This is more of a reimagining than a sequel

Just saw two great movies.

The first was RED CLIFF

Over 4 hours long and I could have watched another 4 hours.....it was that good. One of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Epic war movie set in China 200 AD. The cinematography, the music score, the battle scenes (both land and sea) are epic, simply epic. The acting is great. A must see. Buy the DVD. It's a movie you'll want to watch again

The second movie I saw was Kurosawa's Ikiru which is about as night and day from Red Cliff as possible. About an old bureaucrat in Japan who finds out he has cancer and decides to achieve one lasting legacy before he dies....build a park for children. As boring as that sounds, it's one of the most interesting movies I have ever seen and speaks to Kurosawa's brilliance as a director in that you become captivated with the person and his last days. Brilliant story telling techniques are used by Kurosawa in this movie. Great great movie

I've had Red Cliff for so long now, and I've yet to watch it. I know it's great, I just haven't popped it in yet.

Also, never suggest someone get the DVD unless there isn't a HD alternative. :tongue2:

Recently saw The Debt, Hanna and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on my home system. I'd recommend all three. I really enjoyed Hanna because I went in with low expectations and was blown away. The Debt was good. And TTSS I saw last night, very good. Wonderful acting. Gary Oldman is his usual brilliant self.

Ok, just watched Red Cliff yesterday (since the NFL games started late) and it was freaking awesome. It didn't seem drawn out or anything, despite it being over 4 hours long. I thought all the choices for the main cast were really good, and the fighting scenes (large and small scale) were very well done. Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yu played off each other extremely well.

I have a limited amount of knowledge about the Three Kingdoms (Wu, Wei, and Shu) but thanks to the Dynasty Warriors games (and Kessen) I had pre-existing ideas of what each person should look like and how they should act (the games have a surprisingly large historical database on each person), and I thought it was all pretty spot on.

Now I need to see when I can get my hands on 1911.

Edit: Takeshi Kaneshiro who played Zhuge Liang is also Samanosuke from Onimusha = MIND BLOWN.
I don't feel as bad now for thinking he was an attractive man.

akira is one of my favorite directors.

Just to add to the endorsements for Red Cliff, I saw it about a year ago when I first noticed it on Netflix and I concur that it was a great movie. It's well worth watching for anybody who is worried about the length.

4 hours is just too f*cking long.

It's two parts. There's a smooth transition between them and an obvious point to take a break.

Another Earth. cool premise

Watched 'Hostel 3' last night. Starts out in Vegas like 'The Hangover' but ends up badly. It was meh, because Eli Roth had nothing to do with it (he created the franchise). Ending was pretty stupid.

Finally saw Apocalypto. Lived up to every bit of hype I'd ever heard about it.

Mel Gibson can do no wrong lol
