Also Brick, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Elephantman.

That's more than enough.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was good movie. Somehow made me feel intelligent.

Brick was a pretty cool movie.

The Elephantman is my favorite David Lynch movie. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang alright, I enjoyed Brick more than that.

Spoonatov · 4th June 2007, 11:17

Legend of Hell House was average. Shite storyline, and cheap 70's(which it relied on) effects may have been cool back then, but it hasn't aged well at all IMVHO. And all I wanted too see was Mrs Barrets' tits. Seriously, that's all I could thing of during the film.

FlawlessThaw · 4th June 2007, 18:28

Just saw the Benchwarmers before; It wasnt your wholly typical Rob Schneider movie. It was quite enjoyable,.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was extremely funny.
Brick was cool, noir in highschool setting

I watched a Korean movie The Host yesterday. One of the best monster movie I've seen. Two thumbs up!

A really nice movie overall.

I thought it was really good.
It gives you a sense of reality but at the same time left you wondering whether Ofelia's adventure was real or not. Also it has gorgeous cinematography. One of my favorite movie last year.

Good horror flick.
The end was really good.

Shutter is a good Horror flick. Would suggest the original Ju-On as well if you haven't watched it. The original Japanese one.

Spoonatov · 5th June 2007, 11:07

Try to watch Shutter tonight.

Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes), was brilliant, I really enjoyed it. If you're a fan of Memento, Donnie Darko, Jacob's Ladder et al. Then it's a must see. . . plus you get to see Penelope Cruz's tits!

Downloading The Host at the mo.

mehro · 5th June 2007, 13:07

Saw A Tale of 2 Sisters last night and really enjoyed it.

Spoonatov · 5th June 2007, 13:11

Glad you enjoyed it. Loved it myself. Korean cinema's mint. Oh and watch Abre los ojos, you'll love it.

Knocked Up. Very funny movie from the maker of 40 year old virgin.

mehro · 5th June 2007, 14:58

Also saw Some Like it Hot last night. The only Marilyn Monroe movie I've seen. A nice funny movie despite her rather average acting.

CounterStrike · 6th June 2007, 03:42

Shooter 9/10

Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) is a former United States Marine Corps sniper who left the Marines after a mission left his best friend and spotter dead. Supposedly the FBI approaches him to help entrap a potential assassin, who may attempt to shoot the President at one of three possible locations. After being framed, every law enforcement agency is after him, and he is forced to use his military training so that justice prevails.

Great movie. The plot was thrilling, the pace with electric, and the effects were sublime

Spammy · 6th June 2007, 11:01

The Illusionist

Pfffft, handsomely shot, but very disappointing. And what the fuck were those accents about? Jessica Biel is fit, but the rest of it is predictable and unengaging.

Shit movie, I had to sit through that on my laptop

Did you actually see it in theaters?

Spoonatov · 6th June 2007, 12:28

Anything with Jessica Biel in it, can't be crap. . . that said, it was pretty naff.

Watched Black Christmas (1974) last night, suffice to say, it didn't do much for me, although the ending was creepy. Saw Kiki's Delivery Service too, but it was for kids, and all I can say is that I felt like a nonce watching it.

Wibble · 6th June 2007, 13:28

I can enjoy such films. Having childrens allows you this freedom.

Spoonatov · 6th June 2007, 14:21

I don't mind them too, Wibbs, but this was totally aimed at kids. That said, it was a good anime. . . just not for me.

olesmyhero · 6th June 2007, 14:34

Vanishing Point. Great driving/car chase scenes, pretty much crap everything else.

Spoonatov · 6th June 2007, 17:12

Watching either, Tesis, Oldboy or Shutter tonight. Which one should I watch???

choices.

mehro · 6th June 2007, 17:18

I saw Jacob's Ladder yesterday. As those movie critics like to write all the time: two thumbs up.

CounterStrike · 6th June 2007, 21:25

Just watched Epic Movie

Watching it was a worse experience that seeing my girlfriend with genital warts.

crappycraperson · 6th June 2007, 21:39

Water

Namesake: Going to see it tonite, supposed to be good as well.

Water's okay. Earth was excellent. Even Fire's better

I'm looking for reviews on a movie called Amadeus by Milos Foreman. Anyone? Thanks in advance

olesmyhero · 6th June 2007, 23:26

Bodyguard from Beijing. Crap film. I expect better from Jet Li.

I thought Fire was shit. Earth was good. Water is easily the best out of the lot for me though.
