its been quite a big movie watching weekend, saw quite a few without realising. i saw the new star trek which was actually really good! i was really suprised and i enjoyed it a lot.

i also saw the reader which i thought was excellent. my film of the year for sure.

soo... wa she dyslexic? did she have a stygmatism? why could she not read?

she just never learned to read or write... becuz she preferred getting prepubescent teen boy sex after listening to him read to her...

the last movie i watched was this:

i wanted to be more impressed. it had its funny moments and some interesting ganja facts. but could have been mucho better.

I watched Taken last night. It was pretty good, as long as you can suspend disbelief for a bit, and not try and analyze it or anything.

I'll probably watch that later. It looks bad but everyone keeps telling me it's good, so...

Well, it's nothing fantastic, but for what it is, it's well done.

What I mean to say is that given the premise of the movie, and seeing that it was a mainstream release, it really could have been a lot worse. I enjoyed it.

watched slumdog millionaire with g/f last night.

that shit was slumdoggin it!

It was cool.

I give it an 8.5/10

maybe a 9

Yeah, slumdog was great. There is something about little Indian kids in movies that just makes you fear the whole time watching them that something bad is going to happen to them. I call this "The Kite Runner Effect."

what was yr score sonicyouth37?

Blood Sucking Freaks

Still need to see this.

I didn't enjoy Slumdog Millionaire at all. The story, camerawork,
colour rendition, soundtrack or cheesy acting. Overrated.

FUCK that SHIT!

For that, I'd say 7.5. I enjoyed it but I can't stand Johnny Ramone talking smack all the time about everybody.

^is this a fake hang-up?

"Baby steps....baabbby steps"

Battle Royale II... not as good as the first ahaha. Wasn't horrible though.

Drop Dead Fred... entertaining.

Come on Derek, Battle Royale II is terrible.

Not really a movie per se, but probably one of the funniest things ever. I'm still kicking myself for not shelling out the $30 to see him do this bit in the fall of 07. 11/10

Yeah, that's Filthy World is pretty damn cool. For people with netflix, it's on instant watch, last I looked.

This is possibly the best Gangster movie since Casino. 8/10

slumdog millionaire. not what i was expecting at all and quite brutal but it was ok.

Just finished the book so I watched this:


10/10
The book was wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy better though.

don hertzfeldt's rejected and "meaning of life". both solid 6 out of 10's.

"Taken" - 6/10.

Battle for Haditha 7/10 The hard truth.
Taken 7/10 Quite suspenseful.

and the new Star Trek last night. 8/10
Very entertaining to see how the original characters fall into place.
Best Trekkie movie so far. Full of anamorphic flares and excellent CGI.
Well paced.

I think someone else liked it (terriblecanyons?) but to my eyes, besides some decent visual ideas (most of the times not carried on much well, actually), it's basically pure wankery.
Still, as atsonic can tell, there's a good reason to watch it haha.

then:




Not nearly as good/funny as I hoped, but Bridges is great. quite forgettable.

I think I gave Tracey Fragments a 5/10. Ellen Page is my crush, the movie is quick and to the point and conceptually interesting, but yeah nothing really happens in it.

This reminds me.. the first time I ever ate a whole bag of shrooms... I was laughing for a few hours.. and then I sat and told my friend how I thought Ellen Page is the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen... then, I cried. Then, life was good.

Well hey, I could watch it! Not that I enjoyed it or anything...

Oh and it lacked Takeshi Kitano.

Haha, Battle Royale II was like a shitty war movie. It lacked everything that made BR good -- except for the cute girls.

I kinda liked it. :)

In the Mood for Love rules. I'd give it an 8/10. Wong Kar Wai is amazing.

The only Wong Kar Wai's film I watched so far. What are your favorites? :)

part 1 & 2

My favorites are Chunking Express and Fallen Angels.

one of my all time favorites!!!
