Transformers is the only one I've seen recently. I can't remember when underworld came out, but that's always a safe bet.

I like when he's in the hospital elevator and it comes to a stop it opens up, and he's like "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" and sprints out of there. Fucking awesome.


That part was so funny, especially when he's talking to his doctor and hes running down the street. The doc goes " you will have an erection for a few hours." he looks down and goes erection got it. I pissed myself

2 good movies that i saw recently are Shooter with Mark Wahlberg and The Covenant made by the producers of underworld. Both were sick movies

I was bored by The Covenant. It felt like it was made for teenage girls. A bunch of Tiger Beat cover-douchebags with magical powers. If these douchebags are so powerful, why can't they do much more than throw globs of blue shit at each other?

Shooter was definitely a cool flick. Wahlberg is becoming one of my favorite actors out there.

On that note, check out The Departed. Probably the best film I've seen in quite some time.

The Prestige and The Illusionist were both worth a watch. Kind of similar themes. Ed Norton is another great actor.

I loved Crank. Jason Stathem is the fucking man. Can't wait for War.

Pathfinder was decent. The plot wasn't great, and Karl Urban is not a fucking viking. Worth a watch, if you're in the mood for crazy action.

I highly recommend Apocolypto. It wasn't nearly what I was expecting. The last half of the movie is a chase through the jungle. Some brutal death scenes. Subtitled, though.

Speaking of subtitles, Pan's Labrynth was pretty cool, too. Takes place in WWII Spain. It shifts between the cold reality of the life of a young girl and the bizarre fantasy world she escapes to. Sweet special effects.

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints was pretty good. Gives an interesting view of late '70's New York. Shia Labeouf and Chazz Palminteri give outstanding performances as an arguing son and father. Cool coming-of-age kind of theme.

Poolhall Junkies is a few years old, but it's another good one. Christopher Walken gives one of the greatest pep-talks ever toward the end of the movie.

I'm trying to remember what other movies I've watched recently, but I'm drawing an enormous blank, which is odd, because I watch probably 5 movies a week. More later, I guess.

I can't believe I fucking left out Crank, one of the best movies I've ever seen as well, so awesome.

Don't know if I left it out or not, but Man of the Year was a pretty good political movie, and the scary thriller with the ventriliquist woman, shit I am drawing a huge blank as welll.........




Shit I still can't remember. Oh we'll it'll turn up eventually

Vault Dweller 2007-08-16 04:18 PM

Man of the Year surprised me with the political thriller angle. I was expecting straight comedy.

I liked the Illusionist. Underworld:Evolution was good, but the sex scene seemed so fake (never seen anyone make love to an abdomen, sorry). Just got Lucky # Slevin, gonna watch it tonite. Going to go see Super Bad and Rush Hour 3 tomorrow. Saw Hot Rod over the weekend. I heard Pathfinder was a flop like Alexander, but I may get around to seeing it.

I saw disturbia tonight and it wasnt half bad

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-17 10:00 PM

Is that the one with Shia LeBouf? I was meaning to see that, seemed pretty suspenseful.

Worst movie ever made.

I disagree, Alexander (which was mentioned earlier in this thread) is the worst movie ever. Seriously though, besides the homoeroticism (the dude makes out with his bud) it's just too boring and drawn out. It's the only movie I've ever walked out of.

Willkillforfood 2007-08-18 12:59 AM

Shit. Sin City 2 is a sequel.

Sin City 2 is the announced sequel to the 2005 movie Sin City, which was based on Frank Miller's comic book miniseries Sin City, which were later collected into bound graphic novels. It was originally scheduled for release in the summer of 2007, but due to scripting and other delays, the current release date of the film is unknown. Although the film's script has been completed, a start date has not been set for the project.

It was revealed by director Robert Rodríguez that the story for the film was to be based around A Dame to Kill For, as well as a new story to be written by Frank Miller. The new story revolves around the character of Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba). It will weave in and out of A Dame to Kill For, and will show "a whole new side of Nancy", according to Miller. Frank Miller has also expressed interest in including other Sin City short stories in the film, mentioning a couple of 'Blue Eyes' stories, which introduce the assassin Delia, and an 'Old Town Girls' story.[1]

God I hope it's good. It has a lot of the original cast but it's gonna center more on alba which kind of sucks. She's hot but I'm not too thrilled about her as a main character.

Sin City fuckin rocked. I'll watch whatever they come out with next.

And Disturbia actually wasn't that bad. Kind of predictable, but it still had suspenseful moments. And that chick was ridiculously hot.

Or Monkeybone.

Oh, and Tokyo Drift came out in '06 I believe. It was a decent movie if you like the repetitive themes. I just like watching the drift scenes...
