What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 35

okay, I answered my own question. There are a ton of movie references, like the "Rydell High" reunion and songs from movies, and the climax takes place at a Hollywood premier. So, deliberate for sure.

I like the house Lucy Liu lives in.

Saw Pan's Labyrinth over the weekend. Good movie, but not great. Should have been called "Faun's Labyrinth" not "Pan's Labyrinth" since there was a Faun in it but Pan was not.

No extras on the DVD, which is kind of crazy considering the type of movie it is.

Happy Monkey · 06-25-2007, 10:12 AM

Maybe Pan made the labyrinth, but left a random faun to guard it.

I though ATL would be a heavy drama, a la Boyz in the Hood, because the cover montage featured a couple of very srs-looking guys. But it turned out to be a John Hughes-like coming-of-age-type story--kind of cute and funny, with just a little seriousness thrown in.

Dead Silence was one of the best horror flicks I've seen in a long time. Not super scary like The Shining, but lots of excellent creepy visuals, good plot, and not overly-bloody. I liked the alternate beginning and ending better.

The Big Lebowski - pretty undistinguished caper film, which is a shame. I usually love the Coen Brothers.

The Corpse Bride - Absolute delight. Cute film all around, at least to the extent that you can describe anything by Tim Burton as "cute."

Boo! Big Lebowski is a cult classic. Corpse Bride was half-baked, Tim Burton should be ashamed.

I'm working on the respective first seasons of Battlestar Galactica and The Family Guy.

I don't get why, though.

It's no Raising Arizona, and doesn't even come close to the brilliance of Fargo.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

I was disappointed. Could have been a lot creepier.

Stranger Than Fiction. Excellent film.

jester · 07-09-2007, 11:04 AM

The Covenant - saw it at the movies, but again if we like at the theatre - we will buy the dvd

Fur--I like Nicole Kidman, but I think someone with more...quiet intensity, maybe...would have been better in the Diane Arbus role. If you decide to watch it, you might want to be somewhat familiar with Arbus' work first; otherwise it will just seem like a pointlessly weird movie. But if you enjoy movies like that anyway, then never mind.

Epic Movie and Wicker Man - both sucked.
