The Movie Thread

Talk about the latest movie you've seen, want to see or anything like that here.

I saw Gangs of New York yesterday. Some critics love it and some say it's really bad, but I liked it.

Really harsh action I haven't seen before in a film due to cencorships. It was interesting to see how Amsterdam (leonardo dicaprio) would develop his revenge towards the killer of his father, Bill the Butcher (acted really great). Although I think it could've been pulled off better, I was statisfied at the end. Martin Scorcese is a great director, and the production design was awesome too. The next movie I'll see will probably be Catch me if you can.

Saw Requiem for a Dream yesterday... it was ok, but not as fantastic as everyone said it is. However I was tired, and expecting something else.. I think i will dig it even more next time I watch it...

and now I know why people think Jeniffer Connoley is hot...

I saw 'About Schmidt' a while ago. Good movie. Very good. Jack Nicholson was great and the ending couldn't have been better.

last thing i saw was the 6th sense on the telly last night... was good, but it didnt blow me away. I like it once you started to see the ghosts, not that any of them scared me. For some reason i just never jump at things jumping out on screen! I must be missing that part of the brain or something, or maybe im such a total naturaly blessed film maker i can predict such a thing jumping out a split second before it happens!
As for the ending- am i right in thinking the boy starts to get over his problem when Bruce Willis tells him to listen to what the ghosts have to say... well wtf is he doing talking to Bruce if Bruce needs to tell him to talk to the ghosts!! Bruce is a ghost, he is talking to him, thus talking to a ghost you cant say... hey kidd i think if you start talking to these ghosts you will be ok.

As for what i want to see next... i still need to see the Two Towers, but two films i havent seen in ages i have a strange desire to see is Gremlins, a film i havent seen since i was like 12, and Tank Girl, which i seem to remember was naff but i still wanna see it again [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I missed the Final Fantasy movie on Premier the other night, which annoyed me. I did however manage to see some weird film with Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock and a dillusional blonde lady, that film sucked.

I also watched Final Destination on Premiere the other night (seen it several times now) and realised I want to see the second now.

Last film I saw in the cinema was the Bond movie, although there's a few I want to go and see now.

Saw gangs of new york...yawn...it goes on for so long...the revenge plot is the same old Hamlet type thing...you killed my father....blah...I also hate americans with Oirish accents. Why not mr Farrel, marty? Top marks to Day Lewis though. Too bad cameron diaz didnt die or something.

Saw 8 mile. Yeah enjoyed it, it was nice and low key. It's eminem's life minus all the edges. Directed well though.

Saw Magnolia. I'm not really sure what all the fuss was about. I didn't really see the point of it. Perhaps someone can tell me.

Saw this thread. A good way to pass time since I've got a free class. I should be working on one of my films really.

Final fantasy the movie 's bad man. I almost fell asleep and one of me mates did fell asleep. Maybe if you're a hardcore final fantasy fan you'll enjoy it, i mean it's pretty and all but it's really a bad movie.

The matrix looks awesome.

just out of interest... what is the longest film ever made? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Saw Catch Me If You Can the other day. I though it was good. Nothing spectacular, but a very fun movie.

I had a sudden urge to watch The Running Man yesterday, and realised just how good the one liners are! "This man was Sub-Zero, now he's just plain zero!" Classic!

Anyway, gonna go see Final Destination 2 on Friday, when I think it comes out.
