i heard excellent things about this one.

I liked "Death Proof" the last half of "Grindhouse"

I liked "Ratatouille"

I was very disappointed by "Transformers" but liked "Live Free Die Hard"

I really love "Author Author" which I dvr'd the other day. But it's old.

ufoclub said:

Yes, yes and yes.

I'd say Ratatouille and Death Proof are tied for my favorites and the worst was License to Wed.

live4lust said:

I must know the reason why you saw License To Wed.

sextonseven said:

John Krasinksi. And I didn't pay for it.

live4lust said:

He should have been on your list in this thread: http://www.prince.org/msg/100/234147

Because I heard that movie was truly awful.

sextonseven said:

It was depressing, actually.

live4lust said:

I watched Eight Legged Freaks on video the other day solely because Scarlett Johansson was in it. Worst Scarlett film ever.

The best has been 'Zodiac'. It was really gripping.

The worst has to be 'Black Devil Doll From Hell'.

There were some other really bad films I've seen recently... 'Live Free Or Die'... 'Wild Tigers I Have Known'...

Every other film I watch is just crap!!!

Punk-ass bitches!

That's really your number 1? I wanted to see that. I like Charlotte Gainsbourg.

I have to get over my complex about not seeing films alone 'cos many that I want to see are passing me by 'cos none of my friends are free/interested.

I used to hate going alone, but then when I started working as a film critic and going to press screenings I got used to it after a while (I didn't, however, get used to the fact that they were often at 10 in the morning ). Now when I'm not doing that anymore I've slowly gone back to hating going alone. It was particularly painful when I went to see Transformers alone recently, not only because the movie sucked big time, but because I was squeezed in between a bunch of ultraannoying teenagers.

I'm taking a class on the history of cinema and the Prof wont shut up about "willing suspension of Disbelief." I'm so proud to have recognized the term and also just to have seen it. AWESOME! Obviously U have some experience in film? And don't get started with him on cell phones and people talking in the theatre. WARNING:...if U ever see E. Jacobosn in a theatre, DONT TALK, and TURN OFF your cell phone. If not, U very well might not walk out of the theatre alive.





I have similar feelings on Transformers. By no means were there many, if any, great moments of cinema in it. If U let yourself get lost in it and remember your toy collection of old, it turns out to be a really "entertaining" film. Lots of action, comedy, all the good stuff. None of it the best, but a lot of it good. The CGI was great, though I'm not a big fan of CGI(massive downfall of the star wars series....it's painfully obvious when someting is completely artificial.) In short, when I walked out of the theatre, I had a huge grin on my face!





edit:...lol...finishd reding your post...there's a THUNDERCATS MOVIE COMING OUT!!!!!....OMG OMGOMGOMGOMG!



THUNDERCATS....HOOOOO!




one thing about Transformers....U hardl ever saw the friggin decepticons....well...they were there...kinda...maybe they're saving them for a sequel.

I just remembered I saw Exterminating Angels this year. That was much worse than Angel-A. 2007 must be the year for French angel films.

sextonseven said:

yeah, I got Little Children on YOUR recommendation btw thank you!

sextonseven said:

Yeah, I couldn't make it through that one. I have my limits.

sextonseven said:

It was spectacular. I see movies alone constantly. If I didn't, I'd have no life. I don't like going alone on Friday or Saturday nights though. The energy is just too weird.

I was pleasantly surprised by Transformers.....got to see a booted copy of it last night....though all I kept saying to myself was "Gee, can I have that for Christmas?" and I felt throughout that it was a glorified commercial for the new GM lineup of vehicles available for purchase....but all n all it was a good diversion for a couple of hours....I'd go so far as to say fun too.....

I'll put The Golden Door on my must rent list.

I should go see a therapist. There is the coolest indie theater in walking distance from my apartment and I rarely see any movies there.

By the way, the French-Arab actor in the Angel-A poster above is the one that helped finance and starred in the Days Of Glory (Indigènes) film I was talking about a few weeks ago. He's very recognizable because he only has one arm.

ZombieKitten said:

You are very welcome. I totally do NOT recommend Exterminating Angels--a nonsense script with lots of unsexy sex scenes.

sextonseven said:

I can't promise it'll be the same experience though. I saw it in a gorgeous historical movie theater preceded by pipe organ, a packed audience of a couple thousand, and the director and actor were present to answer questions after the movie. So while the movie itself was spectacular on the big screen, the experience as a whole made it even better.


Seeing movies alone is kind of a habit to get into. Many times I actually prefer it, because I can sit with my own reactions afterward and not have to comment. And oftentimes, in my town, I run into people I know. I have some great movie-mates too who'll see my kind of movies with me, so that's good too.


Interesting.

saw Hot Fuzz last night, which wasn't bad silly ending, but nice fast pace

ZombieKitten said:

I liked it apart from the last twenty minutes, you seen shaun of the dead?

oh and I saw Blood Diamond, think thats my fave so far

jami0mckay said:

no! would I like it you think?

the main guy in Hot Fuzz, was he a child star when he was little?

ZombieKitten said:

yeah its funnier than hot fuzz

I don't think so, hes been in a few comedies over here, spaced was the best if you got it over there

the best film i saw was sister act II. the worst film i saw was herbie goes bananas

jami0mckay said:

I'll look out for them, we don't have a huge selection here

heartbeatocean said:

That sounds like any movie seen in that setting would be great. Charlotte Gainsbourg plays the lead so I'm sure I'll think at the very least it's okay. I saw another one of her videos on MTV last night. I'm in love with her latest album.

ZombieKitten said:

i was dissapointed by it, though I loved the bit when the battlement lands on that journalist, obliterates his head, but he doesn't fall over

I only just got round to watching "Hostel", the first one, I thought it was great. Also, 28 Weeks Later.
Worst was some crap with cameron diaz, jude law, kate winslet and jack black. Can't even remember what it was called, but they swap houses.
