The movie thread, vol. 2

[Nostromo]

I saw the Golden Compass. Boring, IMO. Maybe the kids liked it, I don't know. And the ending is abrupt, to say the least. Someone should have told them that talking polar bears are lame.

I also saw Cloverfield. A pretty good movie, IMO.

I'm also about to finish Foyle's War. A great british series. I highly recommend it.

I'm going to see "Valkyrie".

[Zoid]

Golden Compass was kinda cute, I liked it. And the ending was abrupt because it's the first part of a trilogy

[Supr49er]

Saw The X Files: I Want to Believe. Meh.

[Japher]

Cloverdale was good, just too short to be called a movie.

Watched Dark Knight last night and I liked it.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Watched Hot Fuzz on Netflix. It was hilarious!

[Nostromo]

Holly mother of God. I just saw Blade Runner (Final Cut) on Blu-ray. ****ing amazing!

Australia, mediocre, very long (didnt understand why it didnt end 40 mins before)

Quantum of Solace: interesting attempt at bringing more character to bond. i didnt remember what had happened in the last movie with vesper though and couldnt get into the story much

Australia, mediocre, very long (didnt understand why it didnt end 40 mins before)

Because they tried to make it epic, like Far and Away. But they failed. Far too much music, fading in and out and trying to be deep.

The two main actors saved the movie for what its worth, other than that, the movie failed.

it had a cute singing boy with his magic gandpa though

[Alinestra Covelia]

I watched Serenity and the TV series it was based on, Firefly. Decent enough science fiction and some good acting, though I wouldn't call it one of my favorites.

Over Christmas I watched Hot Fuzz (good), Dark Knight (good), Hell Boy 2 (bad), and Rush Hour (good). This is far more movies then I normally watch btw.

I also watched the Read or Die OAVs which were good.

(Hot secret agent extreme book lover? Great idea!)

[Nostromo]

Fassbinder, Beware of the Holly Whore (good). Maria Schygulla is particularly sexy, in slutty kind of way.

[Nostromo]

The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum. Very good!

Burn After Reading: fell asleep somewhere in the middle

Gran Torino: Excellent
