Just finished watching "Exorcism of Emily Rose"
8/10 |
Yes: Live At Montreux 2003
Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White. Recent enough to include material from Magnification. |
Manic -One of those "independent" films, which in this case means a lot of jerky, hand-held camera work with extreme closeups that's probably supposed to make you feel more a part of the action, but used too much it's distracting. There's also some heavy-handed cinematography, white-out lighting, and so on. It's about teenagers in an inpatient psychiatric facility, which when you first see it, seems to be part of a larger general hospital, and then you find that you're out in the country somewhere. There's a couple things they got wrong about the inpatient setting, but the accuracies outweigh these errors. The filmmaker doesn't just focus on the kids, you see the frustrations on the part of the staff as well, which makes this a very unusual film.

Fracture -- 8/10 Excellent. Anthony Hopkins rules. That Ryan Gosling fellow was a worthy foil and the other supporting actors Rosamund Pike and David Strathaim were pleasant to watch.
Unleashed -- 6/10 Good popcorn dvd for movie night. Surprisingly cohesive story intertwined with the obligatory/headlined martial arts action. Jet Li has some moves. Bob Hoskins in a rare villian role, done marvelously. |
Last movies I watched were The Magdalene Sisters and Rabbit Proof Fence. Both were very well done, and left me with warm fuzzy thankful feelings of only having had to deal with the regular angsty childhood one would have growing up in the suburbs of (accent free) Cary, NC.
|
The Last Mimzy: excellent. totally fun, non-objectionable family entertainment. I looked for one of those mimzy toys, but I guess they are no longer available.
Zodiac: Creepy, sad, riveting, and well acted. Amazing to think they never caught that guy. Some horrible scenes in the beginning, expecially a brutal and gruesome stabbing scene. Jake Gyllenhaal is wonderful and--Robert Downey Jr! I didn't even recognize him until after about the 5th scene he was in. Amazing actor. |
The Hamiltons. A nifty little indy horror film.
|
We watched the The Ex last night.
we're a fan of Zach Braff Next on the line is Perfume. The story the Scentless Apprentice is based on. ( so says my kid which kinda takes the pleasure out of that song for me) and then Perfect Stranger |

@ The Zodiac.....I thought the suspected murderer had a heart attack? |
Nip/Tuck Season 3 - weird season
|
The suspect did die, yes, but they are saying that the DNA evidence didn't match him.
|
Heroes Season 1--Hey, I didn't know George Takei was in it, what a fun surprise.
|
Hiro Nakamura is the cutest little japanese superhero ever.
|
cute and brilliant. At least the actor is.
|
Been watching my Planet Earth DVDs still, a bit at a time. They are awesome.
|

NCC-1701

I finally watched "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters" last night. I'm a big fan of ATHF, but the movie was a bit much for me. Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that I watched it after midnight last night. I dunno...
|
Finished the Showtime series, Dexter, in a marathon session that finished up at 4am. I needed to know how it ended.
Silent Hill (yes, films based on video games suck, but this one had some interesting bits to keep me from throwing the remote at the TV, including the creepy music, the creepy sound effects, and the creepy monsters being right. Then they got to the creepy plot point, and too many creepy people, but overall, it was fun. And creepy. Just like the game) X-Men: The Last Stand I caught about the last half hour of Heavenly Creatures with my sister today. It was strange enough that I have added it to my Netflix queue. |
A Night With Lou Reed
|
Pursuit of Happyness- good stuff
|
Firefly. Does anybody here speak Chinese?
|

|
The internet speaks Firefly-specific Chinese. :)
|
bUT i DON'T HAVE THE iNTERNET PLZ HAYELP
|
Hahaha their pronunciation is SO terrible but it really is chinese that they speak, I understand most of it.
Though it's mostly just a way to get around the censors... |
The Condemned &
Grindhouse - Kurt Russell - what a hoot |
"The Office" is about to start up again. Wooo-Hoooo!!!!
Can you say hot chocolate and a date with the couch on Thursdays?!? I can: Hot Chocolate and date with couch on Thursdays!!! I know... "get a life Cicero".... It's the little things.....a lot of little things. Wait....just because I have the last seasons on DVD doesn't make it the right thread... sorry... See Ya! |
Barefoot Gen 1 (hopefully will watch 2 tonight.)
Don't watch these while you're eating or if you want to sleep. Cartoon (not good enough to be called anime, even if it is Japanese) based on the comic books about a young boy who survives the atomic bomb implosion in Hiroshima and it's aftermath. They chopped the story up quite a bit, though. One thing that I did find interesting is that the Japanese Government is held responsible for the bombing (for not surrendering) as well as the Americans. |
Land of the Blind
Fruits Basket, Disc 1 (I will not be continuing, too teenage girly for me) Jericho, Disc 1 (I will not be continuing, too much stupid melodrama) Hot Fuzz (possibly the funniest movie I've seen in a while) Heavenly Creatures (Bizarre, watched on wolfsibling's recommendation) Rammstein: Lichtspielhaus (loved it, but I am a member of the MTV generation and love watching music videos) |
Wolf Creek Im watching it now and sharting myself!!!!
I love/hate/love true story based freak horror movies. |
I'm about halfway through The Tunnel, a film about some Germans who dig a tunnel under the Wall in Berlin to help their friends in the East escape. It's based pretty closely on the true story, and there have been several scenes that I've recognized like the image I posted over in the iconic photographs thread.
It's a really good film so far. Only drawback (for some) is that it's subtitled. My German is a little rusty, and my TV screen is too small to easily read those little words on the screen. Still, I recommend it. |
Stumbled onto Red Dawn on tv yesterday, gonna throw in the disc later today.
|
House, season one. I always meant to get into this series, as I like Hugh Laurie, but never managed to set aside the time.
I wonder if it'll be canceled now that I'm interested. |
Beer Nutz "The quest for the holy ale" Gift from my son. Does that say something about each of us?
|

|

I'm still fascinated on the Planet Earth series I got for Christs Birthday celebration.
|
Watched I Am Legend and Bee Movie 'couple nights ago.
|
The Chieftains -- Live Over Ireland -- Water from the well.
Excellent. |
Naked Lunch
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/im...ch-Posters.jpg Strange fucking Cronenberg movie. I don't know exactly what the hell I just watched, but I have enough of an idea to know that I really liked it. Slow at times, but well worth it. I'm going out to buy the book tomorrow, yes indeed. |
LOL! I have a tradition of staying up all night on New Year's eve, getting drunk, and watching the strangest, cult, off the wall movies I can find. Naked Lunch was on the menu one year. Whoa!
Strange fucking book, too, certainly worth a look, even if only for cultural literacy. Support banned books! |
"Sunrise Earth" from the Discovery Channel. Absolutely beautiful photography and natural sounds, featuring sunrises all over. Calm, soothing, and uplifting art for your monitors.
|
North Country- Charlize Theron
It was really gripping. It's about a sexual harassment case in a Minnesota mining operation. It's interesting that most of the problem lay with her union brothers, but the company is held responsible. |

Low budget suspense-horror that has become a cult classic down under. "We may be an isolated little country hospital, but we're at the cutting edge of experimental psychology..." |

Strangers With Candy series on DVD
http://www.suttonimpactstudio.com/po...th%20Candy.jpg One of the best comedy shows ever. Having it on DVD makes me happy. extremely biased description |
Madagascar.
over and over and over and over. My two-and-a-half year-old wanted to watch a movie the other day. That's what I chose. Have I chosen badly? Hard to tell... |
Is he/she constantly singing "I like to move it, move it" now?
|
'The Brave One'. (don't bother).
|
The Brave One. Had a great time watching this movie. Five stars!
