What's the last movie you've seen?

[Eraserhead]

District 9.....unbelievably good.

^^^^^^^^


Also, what plot holes/logic leaps do you mean, Eraserhead? I did notice a few things but I'd like to hear what you have to say.

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW

Well, for instance, how did the guy fit in the alien battle suit when he was still mostly human? And how did the aliens make it back the ship without being shot at more? How did they not have people going through the mini-ship 'round the clock after it was taken down? It was just left there.

Just some stuff like that.

District 9 was great. I wonder if they will be making a sequel...

"Three Years."

Inglorious Basterds

QT can't seem to make a bad movie (at least in my view). The dialogue and acting in the opening scene was particularly excellent. That said, the ending felt a little forced/rushed to me for some reason. It reminds of the issue I had with Reservoir Dogs.

[Eraserhead]

I think its called The CSA - a Movie.  About the Confederate STates of America.  Good film, whatched it entirely on Youtube.  It is fascinating how similar the present is to the future confederacy.

That sounds interesting. I may check it out later.

Alright...in the last week or so...

Twins, 1988 comedy film with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito as twins. Classic comedy.

Kindergarten Cop, 1990 comedy film with Arnold Schwarzenegger as an L.A.P.D. cop who goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher. Funny.

Junior, 1994 comedy film with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito as scientists who put forth the world's first human male pregnancy. Good flick.

The Negotiator, 1998 film with Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey as a pair of hostage negotiators who battle it out against each other to find the truth about a police cover-up. Very good.

Role Models, 2008 comedy with Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd who have to join a social workers program to avoid jail time. Expected it to be funnier than it was.

Shoot to Kill, 1988 action/suspense film with Sidney Poitier as an FBI agent tracking down a killer in the woods of the Pacific Northwest with outdoors tracker Tom Berenger, whose girlfriend Kirstie Alley has been kidnapped by the killer. Very good.

Traces of Red, 1992 erotic suspense thriller with James Belushi as a cop hunting down a killer who is murdering hookers in Palm Beach, Florida. Excellent.

Do you watch anything actually worth watching?

Jennifer's Body

Pretty disappointing but there is a pretty good lesbian kissing scene.

[Eraserhead]

Re-viewed The Graduate.  Man it is impressive how much better 1967 was than now!

So true.

How naked is Megan Fox?

There isn't really any legit nudity from her which is partly why the movie fails, overall.

[Eraserhead]

Zombieland

Really awesome. Just a lot of fun.

I saw a good chunk of Moore's new movie as well which looked pretty interesting.

[Eraserhead]

Jackie Brown

Way too long. Great soundtrack though.

[Eraserhead]

Lost in Translation

Any movie that opens up with a close-up on Scarlett Johansson's ass probably deserves a positive review.

[Eraserhead]

Adventureland

Pretty good. The ending wrapped things up a little too perfectly for my tastes though.

One interpretation is that the ending is just a fantasy of his on the bus. Makes more sense, the odds of something like that happening New York City by chance are pretty astronomical.

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that.

[Eraserhead]

I'll probably go see it during the week. I'm glad to hear that you guys liked it.

[Eraserhead]

Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver

Do you now see the similarity to the end of Observe & Report?

I really wasn't thinking about it at the time but I guess.

[Eraserhead]

Where the Wild Things Are

I finally got a chance to go see it. I thought it was great. I loved how surreal the dialogue was at times.

The Bob and Terry bit comes to mind.

Yeah, congrats to Spike for getting away with that kind of stuff in a $100 million dollar production.

[Eraserhead]

Requiem for a Dream

Good movie. Fantastic editing/sequencing/etc. Also, Jennifer Connelly was just painfully hot around 2000.

[Eraserhead]

Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man", an acid western starring Johnny Depp.

Bizarrely fantastic.

That's one I've been meaning to watch.

[Eraserhead]

Avatar

I think my eyes are going to explode from visual overstimulation.

Was it actually any good though?

[Eraserhead]

Taking Woodstock

Decent but a little boring and ultimately forgettable.

Actually, after letting this movie sit in my brain for a little while, I'm starting to like it a little better. The acid trip scene with Paul Dano was pretty cool.

[Eraserhead]

Precious

Quite good and surprisingly surreal at times.

[Eraserhead]

I went and saw Avatar today.

Other movies over Christmas break:

Sherlock Holmes
Planet 51
A Christmas Carol (3D in IMAX)
Invictus
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel
Twilight: New Moon

Damn, somebody had an awful lot of free time. I could never sit through most of those films. Of course, I saw a lot of all of them anyway.
