    I've got There Will Be Blood and Valkyrie lined up for after I finish The Wire.

    Recently re-watched the Harry Potter's and Gran Torino.

    What a f*cking movie Gran Torino is.

    Don't bother, There Will be Blood is the most boring crap I've had the misfortune to try and watch in a long time.
    I just turned it off halfway through and mourned the loss of my time.

    Really? Everyone I've asked about it has given it a rave review.

    Didn't enjoy it that much either but I thought Brad Pitt was brilliant in that.

    Rewatched Fight Club, Labyrinth and My Girl. Interesting mix.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 553 ✭✭✭Futurism


    Watched The Empire Strikes Back last night. Excellent film. Gonna watch Return of the Jedi soon hopefully.

    I downloaded Close Encounters of the Third Kind too, so I hope I can get around to watching that soon.

    I set a goal to watch all Coen brothers films.So far I've watched....

    Blood Simple: Excellent.
    No country for old men: Excellent.
    Millers Crossing: Very Good.
    Fargo: Excellent. Their best movie.
    Raising Arizona: Good.
    The Hudsucker Proxy: Mediocre.
    Oh Brother where art thou?: Good.


    Still havn't seen Big Lebowski! I've been told I'd love it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,089 ✭✭✭jefreywithonef


    Lebowski's brilliant. You mightn't take it all in at first but you'll still immensely enjoy it.

    Ah Raising Arizona, Fargo, No Country and Millers Crossing are films I've been meaning to watch for ages.

    up

    I saw this like three weeks ago with my housemates in 3D and i went to see it again tonight in 2D...

    best film ever! I cry everytime....the most imaginative film I've seen in a while


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 929 ✭✭✭TheCardHolder


    Watched I love you man last night. Watching ''Moon'' tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I love you man has RUSH in it. It is therefore the greatest film ever, regardless of it's average pacing and weak Paul Rudd performance!

    I didn't like it, there was no plot-twist, in fact, there was no plot.
    It's just a boring film about a guy who makes a new friend and has a good time with him, a couple of amusing bits but completely overpowered by the feeling of "What the ****, nothing actually HAPPENED" when you get to the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Yes, I was of the same opinion. No story, and worse ending. But it had RUSH in it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    Your both wrong, this movie is soley epic for this line alone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    He was talking about bass because of Rush!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭norwegianwood


    I saw Tropic Thunder last night, thought it was hilarious, mainly just because of Tom Cruise.

    Pretty amazing movie indeed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭phlegms


    I loved "I love you man", thought it was high-larious

    Might watch "Lost in Translation" later. Hopefully this time I can man up and not shed a tear at the end...

    I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time yesterday. Was better than I thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    In the last while I've watched:
    Gran Torino :eek: Amazing movie. Clint Eastwood is brilliant.
    Taken - Liam Neeson is actually made of awesome.
    The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus - Excellent movie. I loved Tom Waits. And
    the way Heath Ledger's character changed actor when he went into the imaginarium. It worked perfectly.
    Twilight - I don't really know why. It wasn't as awful as I remembered, but some bits were terrible. I also read the books a few weeks ago. Not awful either.
    Harry Potter 6 - Terrible. Even worse than I remembered it to be when I saw it at the cinema. Very bad movie, and it's such a brilliant book

    I might watch something later....Quantam of Solace perhaps, solely because I haven't seen it yet.

    The Phantasmagorical Imaginatorium of Dr Parnassicarius or whateverthefúck - hated it. Self indulgent. Senseless. Although Tom Waits was a slick Satan.

    Up is the greatest film of all time. I've seen in twice in the last 8 days.

    Watched Amélie last night, was fairly messed up but enjoyable. A bit French, like.
