In theaters: Cloverfield -- I hated it.... lol


On DVD: Lady Vengeance -- Part 3 of Chan Wook Park's series of films focusing on the theme of revenge. Like the other 2 films, the story of how a person was wronged and how they achieve their revenge are told simultaneously and graphically. It's a nice departure from a lot of the standard hollywood dramas, and I liked it. Audio is in Korean, so if you can't stand subtitles, take a pass on this one.

I liked Lady Vengeance, too. And hooray for understanding what they said, even after all this time!!! And boo for bad subtitles!!! LOL

Just watched We Own the Night & Eastern Promises. I enjoyed both of them. We own the night: club manager has a cop brother. Club owner gets involved in shady business.... Great movie!

 

[ij1889]

i wanted to see we own the night, i heard its really good

 

[StealthSpeed3]

theaters it was cloverfield, i thought it was decent and a unique take on the monster-attacking-the-city movie.

DVD since i just purchased it will prob be Dead or Alive , or i may sit down to watch 300 with the fam, i saw it in the theaters, my stepmom/mom (however you want to look at that one) has yet to see it so we are going to try and watch it sometime this week.

 

[JustROLLIN]

I still want to see 3:10 to Yuma and There Will Be Blood... Both high on my list to see.

That would be great AJ. I can give you a few bucks for DVD disc if ya like. Thanks man!:split:

 

[ij1889]

lol i rented the old version of 3:10 at a redbox by accident like a month ago, i hate old westerns but that was pretty good imo, i havnt heard anything bad about it so it is a must see sometime soon

 

[Coldspeed]

Just saw Good Luck Chuck, the uncut version on PPV, with Dane Cook and Jessica Alba. It was a pretty funny comedy about a guy who has a curse placed on him where every gf finds true love with the next guy. Once women figure this out, they're all over him. But, he has to break the curse(if you want to call it that) when he falls for the right girl. Lots of T/A, unfortunately, not Jessica Alba's. Watch this one without the wife or gf.

 

[dmention7]

You're assuming the wife/gf doesn't appreciate a bit of T/A

 

[Coldspeed]

True. You must be a lucky man!

just watched D.O.A tonight - the fight scenes were decent, the eye candy wasn't too bad, the acting could have been better. And the Volleyball scene was very decent. 3 out of 5 starts from me, the original Mortal Kombat movie was better IMO.

 

[ij1889]

i loved the first mortal combat, the second one was a disapointment, but i just saw "shout em' up" and dear god that was the worst movie EVER, and i like almost everything, i even liked collateral, but shoot em' up was stupid, lame story, too exaggerated, acting was k, shit just sucked K.

 

[ij1889]

lol sorry i ment "shoot em' up"

I saw Juno recently, and it was actually not bad. It had some great sarcastic humor, and was fun to see since it was locally written & filmed.

 

[cosmicspd3]

Hitman - saw this on dvd, the movie was awesome. Its based off the video game, its kinda like the xXx movie. He is a hired hitman and a hit goes wrong when a lady is involved...oh yeah theres boobies in it.

 

[YSOSLO]

The wife and I have been catching up on movies lately. We watched 'Juno' about a 16 yr old chick that gets knocked up, and the one-liners in this movie are friggin' awesome!! "What did you do Junebug, hit someone with the Previa?".....off the hook! We also saw 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' with Adam Sandler and Kevin James who play a couple of NY firefighters who end up pretending to be a gay couple to get Kevin James' character more employee benefits. There are some great one-liners and scenes that had both of us laughing. Overall your typical comedy, but we were in the mood for it and it got the job done. I've also watched '300' every night for the last week, since it's on HBO or Cinemax or whatever. I LOVE the fight/war scenes in that flick!

 

[dmention7]

I was kinda unimpressed by 300. For whatever reason, I was expecting it to have something of a plot. But in the end, nothing that any of the characters do seemed to be of any real consequence to the movie. Maybe it was just that all the hype raised my expectations or something.
