Movies

While I don't have anything better to write; here's what I've seen in the last half of year or so :wink:

Martian child - really cute!
Stardust - A nice farytale...
21 - a lot of fun watching it, but that's all
Searching for Bobby Fischer - hm...
Vantage Point - I bet Opel payed a great deal for this one... cool :D
Hallam Foe - Marvelous!
Wonderfalls - How could this get 9.1 on IMDB? OK, Caroline Dhavernas is cute, and that sells the series, but the rest of it...
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs - The previous movie was a lot better...
Margot at the Wedding - I promissed myself not to watch indie movies again, and here I go and do it. Not that it's a bad movie... but it's difficult to watch it and it is so for no apparent reason. You can at least enjoy good acting in this one.
Horton hears a Who - Amusing :wink: But I missed some more developement on side charachters...
Before sunrise & Before Sunset - Beautiful! Just beautiful!
Sleepwalking - It has some good acting and that will keep you watching. But the rest is a bit boring.
Ekusu makina - Japanese animations can be so full of crap, but I love the way they are done!
The other Boleyn girl - A few things make this movie interesting; the fact that it is based on real historic events, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson and the way they are both dressed. As a movie - nothing too special.
The last king of Scotland/ - A well done movie, but I think African leaders don't talk broken English among eachother.
Resurrecting the Champ - Well, it is a nice flick for Samuel L. Jackson fans... but this movie has just too many cliche's for my taste.
Chaos theory - boring... I stopped watching after 30 minutes
Smart people - Actually rather pleasnt movie for a sunday afternoon (if you have nothing better to do).
The life before her eyes - It is a good movie, it really is. The camera work is AMAZING, and so are the actors! But; this idea is slowly getting worn out. I will not tell you what it is, because it might spoil you the movie, but the ending spin was seen before and perhaps for too many times now.
The Grand - Actually quite entertaining. Did you know that the last game was played for real and that actors improvised?
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day - A rather charming movie. :wink:
My sassy girl - As I later learned, this is only a remake of a Korean movie. I must say it is a bit boring, so I stopped watching at least two times, but Elisha Cuthbert had created such a lovely characther, that I resumed every time.
Happy feet - Just a little bit too long, but still very cute movie penguin
Bigger, Stronger, Faster - Am... I don't know...
Encounters at the End of the World - Amazing documentary
An American Crime - Well done! A brave performance by Chaterine Keener and Ellen Page!
In Bruges - Awesome!!!
The Dark Knight - I wanted to see what the fuss is all about. And I wasted 3 hrs of my life... Batman is just not my coup of coffee.
Wall-E- The best thing evar!!!
Snowangels - A good movie, but totally morbid :s Not easy to watch!

This post is not about Siddharta ;)New design

You have to watch My Sassy girl, original version and if you have the chance, Windstruck is also a very funny Korean movie :D

I wanna watch An American Crime. I really like Ellen Page! :up: Have you seen Hard Candy?? :yes:

Have a nice day Nikio! :D

Hey Violeta :wink:
I will sure check those movies. I have a few of them in line and there's going to be a long winter. But if you're a Korean movie fan, you shouldn't miss Oldboy.

I've seen Hard Candy a long time ago. It was a very dramatic movie. But I liked Ellen Page more in Juno or Smart People.

And a very nice day to you too! :D

Oldboy bored me the first 20 minutes... I really couldn't keep watching :frown: Some friends told the other part of the movie is great... I'm going to give it one last chance to the movie :smile:.

I remember the same thing. I just couldn't figure it out, like, "what's the problem? Why is he locked anyway?". But later in the movie it becomes clear and it is mindblowing! You should really try harder, this movie deserves it!

In Bruges is really awesome, so funny and at the same time it deals with serious topics in a very intelligent way.
I'm really looking forward to watching Wall-E!
And Before Sunrise, I have to like it because it plays in Vienna :wink:

You're right about Old Boy, if you are patient it really pays off!

I like Before Sunset and Before Sunrise too :smile:

Just seen the "Pi" movie(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/). Crazy stuff. But I can't decide if it was good or not. You should look for itself...

I saw it years ago and I really liked it. I am a big fan of Aronofsky/Mansell tandem (director/composer). I saw all their movies ever since.

Just realized that Kung Fu Panda is not in your list. Funny and well done, I love it!

Škobi 20. September 2008, 12:30

I've seen Kung fu Panda yesterday and it's just great! Very great job on effects and I liked the story.

Škobi 23. September 2008, 21:16

Huh, I've seen Wanted, and liked it veeeery much! Angie is hot P:

In Bruges - best picture I've seen in the last couple of months. It was on the tip of my tounge yesterday, but I wasn't quite sure if Colin was amongst your favourite actors.
