Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[Rome]

I saw the Arthur preview at the movies last weekend and it looked hysterical.  Russell Brand is great but what I'm really looking forward to is Helen Mirren as Hobson.  What a brilliant casting choice that is.

is there a more hot or cold poster on the internets than romey...everytime he hits post its either the best or worst thing ever...no in between no middle of the road shtein just straight awful or awesome....

[Rome]

considering you have the worst taste of any internet poster i've ever met i'd say that's either an extreme insult or an extreme compliment.

so, farg you or thanks very much!

I just watched Flash Gordon and my mind has been utterly farging BLOWN.

Also, Invictus was boring, had the worst soundtrack ever and played like it was edited by an infant. A story with that much meat with a director like Eastwood should have resulted in a much better movie.

Watched Get Him to the Greek tonight and thought it was really funny until the last 20 minutes, which were retarded.

But yeah, mostly I think that Russell Brand is pretty funny.

I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall several times so I checked this one out too and I ended up skipping through most of it cause I was bored with it.  I know it's not really a sequel, but having Jonah Hill be a completely different character was dumb.  Brand is one of those guys that I can watch for short periods but not a full 2 hours

'Buried' was pretty farged up in a good way.

the fighter

kind of awful and cliche. copies a number of different boxing movies weve all seen before and combines that with various easily identifiable stereotypes about boston/massachusetts irish catholic trash.

on top of that how exactly did mellissa leo win the oscar? she really didnt do anything except wear a terrible wig and have much better tits than someone who pushed out 9 kids and smokes 10 packs a day should have.

christian bale was insane but he was essentially the lead. he should have grown a pair of balls and gone up against colin firth and taken his beating like a man.

mark wahlberg was doing a really good impression of andy samberg doing a really mediocre impression of him. do you like apples? i produce entourage.

good to see jack mcgee, though. also i assume russell lived amongst these people for several years and he deserves an enormous amount of credit for not going on a murdering spree.

2.5/5

Saw "In the Heat of The Night "with Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger yesterday in between some of the NCAA games. Movie has been around for years and I can't believe I have never seen it.  Really enjoyed it.  Won best picture in 1968 and was up against some classics such as The Graduate, Bonnie and Clyde, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.   Rod Steiger won best actor and his competition was Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke,  Spencer Tracy in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate and Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde.

Todd, agree with you on Invictus.  Was expecting a lot more with Eastwood directing, Matt Damon & Morgan Freeman.  Long ass movie.  Saw it on a flight home last summer and was psyched to see it.  One of those "That's it?".

Normally I'd expect you to be mocked for watching an old movie and giving it big ups, but since an african american actor is featured in said movie, I'm not sure if you'll be pilloried or hailed as an OG.

1967 was the year that the modern movie era really began and works well as the jump off point of when movies became watchable...you wanna break it down even further you can pinpoint the exact day when everything changed and that was august 13, 1967 the day bonnie and clyde was released

so no you would not be mocked for enjoying in the heat of the night

[Diomedes]

Thank you for clearing that up.

Bonnie and Clyde is the signpost past which movies became "watchable," why?  Because of the realistic gunplay and slow motion execution finale?  Because your panties get wet for Warren Beatty?

[ice grillin you]

first movie to portray violence and gore the way it did...first time you actually felt like people were really getting shot and dying in a movie...not cheesily grabbing their stomach keeling over and saying "he got me" in an overly dramatic fashion

The Fighter - Bale did a great job. There is not much else to say here. I thought it was decent, def. didn't think it was Oscar worthy. I did like how they made the fight scenes in the ring with effects to make it look like an older video recording. If anything it made me want to look up some old Ward videos. He was one of my fav fighters. - 3/5

[Eagles_Legendz]

Agree entirely on Invictus.  I thought it was awful.  The gf fell asleep in the theater and I almost walked out.  Not sure what made me dislike it so much but I found it grating.
