greasywheels121 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) I actually have a list of things I want to see for once. I can't wait for Star Wars though. I'm looking forward to that. I finally saw Episode II this weekend, so I can see the new one whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Just watched The Hunting of the President. This movie would embarass anyone who says that people who don't believe there is a liberal media bias are stupid or ignorant. The film focuses on the so-called Independent Commission and the media's obsession with their case. quicktime trailer http://www.thehuntingofthepresident.com/qu...me300Kpage.html Great trailer by the way, how exciting!

Seen that film -- its pretty damn good. David Brock really blew the lid off a whole lot of the impeachment BS (he was one of the heads of the Arkansas Project at the time and later on came out blowing the whistle) As for films I've recently seen: For a Few Dollars More Manchurian Candidate (1962) Citizen Kane (Call me a Philistine but I didn't think it was all that great) House of Wax (the original with Vincent Price) North By Northwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Anyone else think the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is going to kick ass? I also felt a lot better about War of the Worlds after seeing the extended previews during Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Burton's intention to make it darker than the one with Gene Wilder. (Although the argument can be made that that film was also pretty dark on its own i.e. the boat ride, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to go see the new one and decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Garden state is quickly becoming one of my favorite movies. I've seen it numerous times over the past few months and still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I went and saw The Interpreter at the dollar theatre tonight. And, man, I wish I still had my dollar. I felt like the movie dragged on forever, and after one critical scene I turned to my friend and said, oh, so that means that blah, blah, blah. Thus ruining and spoiling the end of the movie. Anyway, it was predictable and Nicole Kidman seemed to think that if she spoke kind of huskily that would make the film more dramatic. And Sean Penn's character's side story was pointless. The whole film was crap and, honestly, I could have made it better by leaving a 1/3 of it on the cutting room floor. Two thumbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw it as well, I wish I had spent only a dollar on it. All jokes aside I didn't think it was that bad. But certainly not very memorable, maybe worth another watch.

What I enjoyed was Jet Li playing a Rain Man like character. Interesting decision for him to take that part. 7/10 6/10 for Interpreter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was nothing like I expected, but that action scene against the guy in the white suit was totally badass and the story while different was good. I agree, Jet Li did a good job with that role (a much different role than he's used to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 So, not actually a movie...But some friends and I watched a few episodes of the series Wonder Falls tonight. It only had like 3 episodes aired or something--but it was really funny and good. Interesting. Just a consideration for a night in and renting a dvd.

southsider2k5 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Rented The Final Cut on DVD this weekend. It started Robin Williams and Mira Sorvino in a pretty cool sci-fi style movie. Basically in the near future, this company offers implants that films every second of a persons life, and then when they die, people called "cutters" edit down peoples lives to a short highlight film called a "rememory". My only complaint was the movie ended a little quickly/abruptly for my liking. It is definately worth a rental though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
