The Movie Thread

[hamin_aus]

i got that.....
that's why i wanted someone to watch it with me.... i don't like thrillers!
i got the point of the movie.... was just saying...

The lady doth protest too much!

[Mystical_Titan]

She's a woman... it's her prerogative.

[ryanrich]

Could be interesting...

[ryanrich]

Got round to watching Thor. Meh, wasn't bad but wasn't fantastic.

Man, I just finished a great movie. It's Hereafter, with Matt Damon, directed by Clint Eastwood.

It's about the hereafter of course, with Matt Damon being a psychic, but its was really deep and emotional with a great atmosphere. I expected another ghost thriller or something and what I got was something completely different and refreshing. I love a good movie!

[ryanrich]

Yeah I also quite enjoyed Hereafter, was a refreshing change.

*Puts Hereafter onto must watch list*
Actually been wanting to see it for awhile now, but it made nary a blip on our cinemas...

Just Watched, The Resident. Slow simmering Thriller that doesn't really do anything new for the genre. It tries to be creepy and/or freaky but doesn't work. It was, to say the least, cliched and boring. Things should have happened alot faster and I felt the antagonist wasn't really suited for the part. Worth the watch if you are easily creeped out or are a fan of Hilary Swank.

Just Watched, X-men - First Class. To be frank, I think it's one of the best X-men films yet. It was so refreshing to have a younger set of characters and for the film not to surround Wolverine the whole time. Lots of mutants, cool effects and a nice story that shows us how everything began. I was entertained from start to end. Everyone played their parts perfectly. Only gripe I could give the film is that certain characters are just placed in the movie to fill the screen and don't mean anything to the story, but given the kind of film it is, was going to happen. I have also read that some people feel it's a tad too long or that it drags, but I didn't feel it at all. I kept wondering what was going to happen next or where the story was going to take us. Worth the watch if you are a fan of the X-men, enjoy anything superhero related or wanting to watch an action with a difference.

Still haven't watched Pirates OR X-Men. Dammit.

[capanno]

I cant freaking wait to watch this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hamin_aus]

I watched The Hangover 2 this weekend.

I lol'd.

[Mystical_Titan]

Finally got around to watching something, watched X-Men: First Class on Monday. Definitely my favourite one of the lot so far, my favourite scene obviously being the Wolverine one.

[KALSTER]

Has anyone seen the trailer for No Greater Love or watched it? It's a Christian movie about a guy who lost his wife and years later finds out that she works at a church nearby.

[Molean]

No. Any good?
The Green Lantern has been panned by critics.

[Mystical_Titan]

It's starting by us this Friday. Watched Pirates IV last night, but it didn't wow me as much as the previous ones, even though Penelope Cruz is one seriously attractive woman.

No Greater Love does sound interesting...

[Mystical_Titan]

Also, anyone watched the trailer for the last Harry Potter? Can't wait! Only another 3 weeks...

[Molean]

I hate trailers....especially trailers for comedies...the only trailer I do like was done by Director Alfred Hitchcock, he put a great spin on them...

[RuadRauFlessa]

I have finally found a use for this thread.... I need 3 movies that would be brilliant on BluRay for this saturday... any suggestions

[Mystical_Titan]

Mmm... Inception, Tron and Despicable Me.

[THE_STIG]

Wow, I still need to actually watch inception

[hamin_aus]

Despicable Me

LoTR collectors edition Blu-Ray drops here this week - got mine pre-ordered.
All 3 movies in 1920×1080 glory, plus 15 hours of behind the scenes and other crap I'll probably never watch.

[Mystical_Titan]

So sue me because I like a movie that the great and all-knowing Jamin doesn't approve of.

Have the standard edition The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray set, but would also like to get the extended editions.

[hamin_aus]

So sue me because I like a movie that the great and all-knowing Jamin doesn't approve of.

It's not that I don't approve of it, it's just that why would RRF want to watch it on blu-ray on a Saturday night. There was nothing amazing about the animation on Despicable Me that would warrant a blu-ray screening.

Tron was meh, but it would look very good on blu ray. Inception was a good choice.

My 3 would be The Dark Knight, Saving Private Ryan (mainly for the storm the beach scene - but the rest is good too) and Iron Man
I saw Iron Man a few weeks ago on blu-ray and it was awesome.

[Mystical_Titan]

Cause it's a cool movie, that's all.

The Rock would also be cool in Blu-ray.
