What movie did you just see? - Page 102

spookyload · 04-12-2004, 01:03 AM

If you never saw the series then you missed half the jokes in the movie. That is a common problem I see when I ask people why they didn't like it.

Two movies recently...

Paths of Glory, a Kubrick movie! #39 in the IMDB top 250! And my PVR missed the last 40 minutes!!!!

:sad: That's the first time it's ever done that, I'm not sure what the problem was, but it sure bothered me. Please, please don't tell me how it ends!

and:

Amelie, #24 in the IMDB top 250. This one was just OK, not the stunning masterpiece I was led to believe it was. It was interesting and unique, but too artsy for me. However, there were really nice scenes of Paris, which I visited 5 years ago and still think about.

I FINALLY got around to seeing Dr. Zhivago. I loved it...what a wonderful epic story.

Amazing series. I have the 6-DVD set.

What I like about it is that it's not a typical "Yeah! The Allies are the good guys!" kind of story. There are some not-so-good good guys. There are blood, guts and explosions, but also the consequences of blood, guts and explosions.

It clearly shows that the war was NOT a good thing, it was just something you had to do. And even the brave guys were scared at times.

Excellent.

Tomb Raider Cradle of Life.
Tres average... but Angelina looked good as ever.
When it comes to her, I'd like to be a "Womb Raider"

I saw Walking Tall with the Rock and it felt like I was hit in the head with rock. I knew it wasn't going to be as good as the original but the acting was weak from all the actors in my opinion.
Hope to pull a double feature this Friday with the Punisher and Kill Bill.

but that stupid face (lips)?? aaargh!

I personally cant take her and I also think she is an awful actor.
If I want to see pretty women in action then I watch that special kind of movies, you know what I mean. haha

Saw Kill Bill Vol. 1 last night...

I am not a Quentin fan... I haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, and I can barely remember any of Pulp Fiction and whether I liked it, but I am a fairly big Asian Martial Arts/Action fan...

With that said, I was very unimpressed with this movie. There is a plethora of references in this movie to all the HK Action movies that it is inspired by... but most of the movies it pulls from sucked.

I would have liked to have seen more of a movie then what seemed like a slideshow of Quentin's most nostalgic scenes from bad Asian Cinema.
