Official Film Discussion and Last Movie You Watched

Just watched The Dark Knight.

Good movie but the plot was overly convoluted. Not sure if that was to try and build suspense or to add some level of mystery to the story. Either way didn't really work. I thought the performances were really good, but they had a few too many characters taking the lead considering the movie was about Batman. Didn't really define who they were going to focus on or create an appropriate balance.

But overall probably the 2nd best film I've seen this year.

Line, let me ask my question in here.

What did you think of Changeling?

IRON MAN

One of the better super hero movies made.

BIG WET ASSES 12 - Starring Eva Angelina

Line, let me ask my question in here.

What did you think of Changeling?

Mediocre. The same melodramatic film that Eastwood keeps rehashing time and time again, with little conflictual weight, thus any emotional response isn't rightfully garnered. Even the feminist motifs are underplayed and do not justly explore the bounds of motherhood. He also still needs to learn to use a camera in any manner of interest.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

It's Brad Pitts' Forrest Gump. 6.5/10
It just got silly to me by the end....

It had Gumpy moments but I don't feel it's a really relevant comparison. I was also disappointed in it though.

Quantum of Solace (2008) 6/10
-Casino Royale was better.

I am talking more from a career angle, as compared to Tom Hanks or Billy Bob Thorton.
It had moments & was for the most part enjoyable, like something that tastes great but a little later you have a nasty after-taste.

Saw Frost Nixon last night... it was okay. 7/10.

I'm not sure I agree with this either.

 

[skindnef]

anyway Line.

 

[Paulie]

Frost/Nixon. I need to give it 1 more watch, but it might be my #1 pick for best picture as of right now.

Also saw Wall-E earlier today, it was pretty much excellent. 9/10.

 

[Pain]

Grand Torino

Christ, Eastwood is old.

 

[brendan]

a perfect murder. very nice movie.

Just got back from Quantum of Solace. Can't comment fully as we missed the first 5-15mins of the movie because of a lazy projectionist. At least I got a free ticket to see something else.

Anyway Quantum of Solace was good. A lot of the guff it has received about being one big chase scene is just not fair. I enjoyed the film, but I did feel that Casino Royale was better plotted. This was better paced though and the only thing I didn't really enjoy was the handheld camera shaky work for action sequences.

Overall I think the Bond franchise is delivering good films again that are worth watching.

The Ruins - decent thriller movie

Chaos Theory - strange movie but was interesting to know what was going to happen but i found some parts to be boring

Felon -good movie to watch on dvd, if nothing else is on

All the boys love Mandy Lane - the main character Mandy... she was super hot!!!, it was a decent thriller/horror movie

Pathology - good movie to watch, another thriller movie with gore in it

Linewatch - from the get go of the start, it was really boring and slow movie, i still ended up watching the whole movie regardless only because i had nothing better to do, but it was a poor movie, 1/5


Still to watch;

Shoot em up
Death Sentence
House of flying daggers
3:10 to Yuma

Wall-E. As with all Pixar movies, it was great.
