We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen

It's ok, not a great documentary. I love the Minutemen, but this one is really only for hardcore fans who already know their story and want a supplement. The real value for me was in seeing everyone else commenting on them (Flea, Jello Biafra, Thurston Moore, Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins, Dez Cadena, Keith Morris, et al.) Oh yeah and early footage of Charlie Hurley looking VERY hot .

Too much of a christian-theme, and imo not that much horror.
It seemed that it had either an agenda, or featured a poor trick of pretending it did so as to supposedly make one feel that it was more than a movie, but it did not work, since most of the time i still am sure that it was a film and not something i had lived through.
I can speak fluent aramaic now though

Well, in it's defense, it was about a murder trial of a Catholic priest.

Can't imagine why they would bring Christianity into it..........

ACK!

[Varwnos]

Yes, but by point was that it appeared to be more about christianity than horror, which i felt limited the scope of the movie significantly

Just saw "Live Free or Die Hard" - WOW! They don't make action movies like this anymore. A ton of explosions, gunfights, and incredible action sequences. Interspersed with some absolutely hilarious lines. The plot is a bit wierd, but its a traditional action flick, plot is irrelevent . Willis still has got it and Olyphant was excellent as the main baddie (even had some great lines).

Loved it!

Recently saw...

- Hellraiser. Ok movie, but it didn't age gracefully, IMO. There's a remake in the works, BTW. Barker is supposed to do it.

- Barry Lyndon. The only Stanley Kubrick flick I didn't have the pleasure to see. I enjoyed it a lot. The cinematography is particularly gorgeous. I whish I saw it on a big screen TV

- Midnight Express. Great movie

ratatouille

- Last House On The Left. I'm not sure why this movie is as popular as it is. By 70's standards, yes it was incredibly edgy, but it really doesn't hold up. It could have been better had Craven cut down on the goofy sequences in the film. They're not funny and really detract from the story. It's got some killer parts, interspersed with lots of filler.

I am watching The Grudge.

Already saw more than half of it, and it is the most boring thing i've seen in a while. And it is not horror at all, unless one counts the horribly epidermic personalities of the entire cast...

[Nostromo]

Whats wrong with you guys? You don't watch any movies?

- René Clément's 'Forbidden games'. A gorgeous little movie about two kids during WW2.

- Lemming. Pretty good thriller. By the same director who did "With a Friend Like Harry". But Harry was better, IMO.

- Saw. Pretty good and original, IMO.

- Zodiac. A very good movie, I recommend it. Based on an actual case.

Next:

- Bela Tarr's 'Werckmeister Harmonies'

- Andrzej Wajda's ' A generation'

- Tokyo Godfathers

Stardust was a very good book, and comes out in the movies on Aug 10. I will go see it. The last movie I saw in the theater was Pan's Lybrinth.

I just saw The Bourne Ultimatum. It was silly and mostly empty of plot, but had enough Matt Damon being a badass to be entertaining.
