[drudo182]

The Simpsons Movie.

I got my list site going at http://drudo182.wordpress.com

Let's see what I can come up with. Need to figure out how I want to run it but so far I just have the new movies in 2008 I've seen in theatres and then a section for any new movie I see.

[takingbackrufio]

Wasn't bad. Hoffman had some really funny lines. I'd give it a 3.5/5.
Hoffman/Hanks were brilliant together.

"So who's all working on it?

"Me and three other guys."

I loved that part.

[jwelborn]

Yeah, I plan on making a list this year because last year I watch an unbelievable amount of movies. Im not really planning on doing a movie a day, im just going to keep track on every movie I watch.

[Poultrylicious]

I saw Psycho for the first time last night on Chill. Knowing some spoilers ruined the movie for me.I loved the score.

[shinedown114]

Im on my 19th movie of the year so far, or well Juno tonight will be my 19th.

3/5

Im on pace to watch over 1000 different movies this year, but i know thats not gonna happen, only Ebert and the top movie reviewers actually get to do that, i will admit, i am jealous.

19. Juno - 9/10

I had high expectations for this movie and it definatly passed them, it was a great movie.

Hopefully by the end of the night ill be around 22, it depends if i can keep staying up till 5 or 6 every night.

[reductiondesign]

I'll do that this year, too.

TJ - How many films did you watch in '07?

1. Le Jetee (1962, Marker) -- 1/6/07 -- 10/10
2. Lumiere, "Premonition Following An Evil Deed" (1995, Lynch) -- 1/6/07 -- 7/10
3. Naked Lunch (1991, Cronenberg) -- 1/6/07 -- 6/10
4. Juno (2007, Reitman) -- 1/6/07 -- 8/10

[reductiondesign]

I'm off to a solid start. This will be the first year that I keep track from start to finish.

1. The Steel Helmet (1951, Samuel Fuller) – 1/1/08
2. Army of Shadows (1969, Jean-Pierre Melville) – 1/2/08
3. Interiors (1978, Woody Allen) – 1/2/08

What did you think of these two?

[aminorthreat55]

What did you think of these two?
Awesome and disappointing, respectively. After having seen Walkabout, I was expecting awesome things from The Man Who Fell to Earth (both Roeg films) but I was disappointed that not much really happens.

[drudo182]

The Heartbreak Kid (2007) - 3/5

[jwelborn]

I really did not like The Heartbreak Kid.

[drudo182]

I really did not like The Heartbreak Kid.

Yeah, it was just average. Had some funny moments though. Liked when they were at the wedding and they kept bashing her ex boyfriends and the dude stood up every time and reacted to Stiller.

[jwelborn]

Yeah, it was just average. Had some funny moments though. Liked when they were at the wedding and they kept bashing her ex boyfriends and the dude stood up every time and reacted to Stiller.

Im just tired of seeing Stiller doing movies where he is put in the worst situations, its getting annoying. But the sex scenes were pretty funny.

[shinedown114]

Gangs of New York was my last movie

Its a 10/10 in my book and i dont have many of those

[drudo182]

Loves Gangs of New York. It's my favorite Scorsese film.

[jwelborn]

About to watch City Of God.

[shinedown114]

Loves Gangs of New York. It's my favorite Scorsese film.

I definalty agree with you on that one.

So the game is over and im off to my 24th movie, I have no idea what im gonna watch though.

[AshesAshes]

Im gonna have to keep track of this I have watched a decent amount so far.Here is my blog (http://lactatingteens.blogspot.com/) I just write a quick 1-2 sentence review for each movie.

[shinedown114]

Open Range is about to come on AMC, is it any good?

Its a western that came out in 2003

[TJ Wells]

its alright. not great, but watchable.

[AshesAshes]

I need to see The King Of Kong that sounds interesting.

[shinedown114]

its alright. not great, but watchable.

Alright, I've been watchin it and its not to bad, I just dont know if I want to miss American Gladiators for it.

I guess i have a decision to make

[shinedown114]

I need to see The King Of Kong that sounds interesting.

Its by far one of the greatest "out there" movies of the year
I couldnt stop laughing throughout it and its just, its definatly worth watching.

[AshesAshes]

Watch Gladiators I got my tv on NBC waiting for it.Put Deal Or No Deal on mute.

[AshesAshes]

Its by far one of the greatest "out there" movies of the year
I couldnt stop laughing throughout it and its just, its definatly worth watching.

Is it out to rent yet?Or will I have to download it.

[shinedown114]

Is it out to rent yet?Or will I have to download it.

It comes out at the end of this month, the 29th to be exact, so if your looking to watch it now then you'll have to download it.

Ther seriousness of what they say, is what makes it so great and so funny.

[shinedown114]

Watch Gladiators I got my tv on NBC waiting for it.Put Deal Or No Deal on mute.

I guess ill just wait on my 24th movie and flip it over to watch it at 9.

[remmiz]

i want to do this this year!

1. say anything
2. ethan frome
3. alvin & the chipmunks
4. jesus camp

[AshesAshes]

I guess ill just wait on my 24th movie and flip it over to watch it at 9.

Yea im gonna download King Of Kong.

Damn 24 movies already your killing me on that.

[shinedown114]

Yea im gonna download King Of Kong.

Damn 24 movies already your killing me on that.

Its definatly worth watching

Yeah, im trying to see how many different ones i can possibly see this year and when i get into something, i usually go overboard with it, hince the 24 movies so far.

I've got exams for school this week, so i wont be able to watch as many as I have been.

[jwelborn]

City Of God 5/5

Has anyone else seen this film?

[AshesAshes]

Its definatly worth watching

Haha,im the same way I also have a book list going.So im trying to read as many books and watch as many movies possible this year.


Im gonna watch City Of God this week,I have it next on my netflix list.

[CloseYetFar]

Superbad 10/10
Hot Fuzz 8/10
Delta Farce 4/10

Delta Farce was not by choice. Rest of the family was watching it and it was a big mistake. Had its moments but overall it sucked big time. I still have The Simpsons Movie to watch yet and I'm done with my Christmas haul of DVDs.

[williek311]

Im gonna watch City Of God this week,I have it next on my netflix list.
Prepare to be amazed. One of my favorite movies of all time.

[CubbyNick42]

City Of God 5/5

Has anyone else seen this film?
Just...mindblowing. It's been a couple years. I need to watch it again pronto.

[Blakebear]

Joining the movie discussion.

I've seen a few this year and the end of last so let me think:

Juno 10/10 This movie is just, perfect. I really fell in love with the characters and actually cared about the events of the movie. Its just very enjoyable.

Sweeney Todd 7.5/10 I was very excited for this film, but at the the same time I was a little nervous. I was pretty impressed by the vocal work of the stars, but overall the pacing and flow were just off.

No Country For Old Men 9/10 This movie was just chilling. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, and the characters were very well developed. The lack of music made things quite interesting, again, chilling

P.S. I Love You 8/10 I really enjoyed this film. It was sad, very sad (if not a bit repetitive in its sadness), and funny and feel-good all at the same time.

and last night, I was in debate about whether to watch Gangs of New York or True Romance. I went for:

True Romance 8.5/10 Considering I am not much of a Tarantino fan, I really enjoyed this. Another cliche drug film, but well done at the same time.

so it looks like I'll be watching Gangs of New York based on what I saw on the last page.

[AshesAshes]

Prepare to be amazed. One of my favorite movies of all time.

I cant wait to watch it now.All I ever hear is good things about that movie.

I updated my movie list just watched Stand By Me 10/10 I love that movie.

[Blakebear]

Mistake on not going for Gangs of New York first!

yeah probably, but I liked True Romance, so I can't really be disappointed, also...

I was planning on watching it tonight since I haven't watched it since it was first released on DVD.

I'm about to go watch it, I'm pretty pumped since you guys seem to love it.

I mean, DiCaprio, DDL, Reiley, Neeson and Gleeson, and I definitely don't mind me some Scorsese now and again.

Should be wicked.

[shinedown114]

you kids and your endless amount of free time.

Haha, you mean my endless amount of no sleep

I usually have school till 3 and then work from 5 to 10, so i only get to watch movies after 10 or on the weekends.

[Ravenna]

I tell you what, I am enjoying this free time like nothing because starting Monday, it's back to taking 18 hours of school again...
I should start a 'Essay List 2008' thread. I would dominate that shit.

[drudo182]

Got Hairspray (2007) and A History of Violence in my Netflix. Pumped.

[shinedown114]

Got Hairspray (2007) and A History of Violence in my Netflix. Pumped.

Im kicking myself for not buying A History of Violence in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart when it was there, the day we sold the last copy was the day i decided i'd get it, yeah...

[drudo182]

Im kicking myself for not buying A History of Violence in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart when it was there, the day we sold the last copy was the day i decided i'd get it, yeah...

You wouldn't believe the amount of times I have decided to not buy something from their bin and later can never find it that cheap again.

[shinedown114]

You wouldn't believe the amount of times I have decided to not buy something from their bin and later can never find it that cheap again.

I work there, so its one plus that im usually able to find it when i need it, but i do know what you mean and its quite depressing.

[Blakebear]

you guys are really reading my mind right now... Last night Gangs of New York, and since I didn't want to spend the money on renting 3:10 to Yuma, tonight will be A History of Violence

Haven't seen it yet, so I'm really hoping for something good.

[drudo182]

I'm about to start Hairspray and then tonight I'll probably squeeze in History of Violence. Hope both are good.

[jwelborn]

A History Of Violence is a pretty decent film.

[drudo182]

Hairspray - 4/5

Really enjoyed it. I'm a big James Marsden fan so I would have loved to see him in it more but he was great whenever he was on screen and Brittany Snow is so hot. Man oh man.

[shinedown114]

Im getting desperate for movies i havn't seen before.

Next - 7/10

The Lives of Others and Transformers(I have already seen this) will be later.

I want to see City of God from whatever everyone has said

[jwelborn]

Im getting desperate for movies i havn't seen before.

Yes make sure you check out City of God, but im going to watch The Lives Of Others tomorrow. And im sure there are plenty of movies you haven't ever seen.

[shinedown114]

Yes make sure you check out City of God, but im going to watch The Lives Of Others tomorrow. And im sure there are plenty of movies you haven't ever seen.

I definatly will.

Well, there are plenty that I haven't seen, but those all cost money to see. I dont have anymore around my house that I Haven't seen and i didnt get any from friends today

[Blakebear]

City of God is pretty horrifying, I need to see it again, I'm not really sure how I feel about it at this point.

about to watch History of Violence

[shinedown114]

I was way to tired to watch The Lives of Others so I just went on to Transformers.

Hopefully ill be awake enough to watch it tomorrow.

I might have to see what price Amazon has for City of God, it seems like something i need to buy.

[jwelborn]

Do you not have a blockbuster or netflix account?

[Jessooker]

I just looked up The Lives of Others because I never heard of it. It sounds very good. It's on the top of my queue now.

[shinedown114]

Do you not have a blockbuster or netflix account?

No, I just dont like renting movies to be honest, I see it as spending $5 more because most of the movies i rent, i end up buying.

I know my sister has netflix, so i guess i could try that

I just bought City of God for $10, it seems to be worth it.

[jwelborn]

Well in your situation I could see getting some sort of account where you can rent movies, since you plan on watching a lot of movies this year. I rented 5 movies from blockbuster today for 10 dollars.

and yes 10 dollars for City of God is a good deal, its like 20 brand new in stores and the cheapest i've found it used in a store is 14.

[shinedown114]

5 movies for $10 is definatly a great deal, ill have to check into that, especially with what im trying to do this year.

Well im glad that was a good buy then, I can't wait to watch it now.

[-Aaron-]

I just looked up The Lives of Others because I never heard of it. It sounds very good. It's on the top of my queue now.

That was my favorite foreign film last year while everyone and their mother sucked off Pans Labyrinth.

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (Schnabel,2007)

[jwelborn]

I just watched Diggers and i'll probably be watching Death Sentence a little later. Im just hoping it isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. But I did pick up The Lives of Others today so i'll also be watching that sometime.

[shinedown114]

So I just hit the 30 mark for the year with 3:10 to Yuma, definatly a great western.

3:10 to Yuma - 9/10

[Blakebear]

So I just hit the 30 mark for the year with 3:10 to Yuma, definatly a great western.

Lord Of War - 9/10

[jwelborn]

I wasn't too impressed with Lord Of War.

Im only on my 14th movie, including Juno the second and third time.

[drudo182]

The Gangs Of New York was nothing special.

I don't ever want to read something like this again.

[shinedown114]

there is more to life, you know...

Well, ill say it again

I still have a life, ive got school, i hang out with my friends at pretty much anytime i can and im usually never home.

When i am home, which is usually at night, i stay up till around 4 in the morning watching movies, i guess the fact that i never sleep is the reason i can watch as many movies as i do.

Just sayin, i do have more to my life...

[shinedown114]

I don't ever want to read something like this again.

I agree

twas but a joke :)

I'll have to check this movie out.

[drudo182]

We were looking at Blu-Ray discs today at Best Buy and out of nowhere I saw this Lives of Others movie. Have to give it a look sometime.

[-Aaron-]

10. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968)
11. The Third Man (Reed, 1949)
12. Do the Right Thing (Lee, 1989)
13. Gangs of New York (Scorsese, 2002)

15. I'm Not There (Todd Haynes, 2007)
16. Sunshine (Danny Boyle, 2007)


I am really surprised a lot of you have never heard about The Lives of Others. It was easily the best foreign picture of last year and I thought it was better than a lot of the nomination POTY.

[Until The Bombs]

Finally saw Atonement. Fucking solid.

[drudo182]

Finally saw Atonement. Fucking solid.

!!!

No doubt. James McAvoy was so amazing in that movie.

[Until The Bombs]

!!!

No doubt. James McAvoy was so amazing in that movie.

Definitely. In all fairness, the movie was a tad slow at times, but I didn't mind too much. What I did mind was the old couple next to me bitching every time the movie jumped forward or backward in time and the two teenage girls behind me that gave a running commentary.

hahaha. i had a woman like that too. she also had to say about 5 times "he looks like a young russell crowe, right?" it's very annoying when people think they're at home while in theaters.

[drudo182]

11.) Billy Elliot - 3/5

I must be strange because I thought this film was just average. Its at like 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.6 on IMDb. Hmmmmm...

[jwelborn]

I never saw it, I do remember it being heavily praised whenever it came out though.

[shinedown114]

39. Meet Joe Black - 8/10

I really did like this movie, but the length was just a little too much, I think 2 and a hour or even less would have done the trick with it, never the less, still a very good movie.

It was a new addition to the $5 bin at Wal-Mart, im starting to live off of that.

[shinedown114]

So I guess it's no sleep tonight, especially after what i just watched.

Requiem for a Dream - 10/10

I was told to watch this movie by a teacher of mine and i can see why, this movie was just, wow, i can honestly say i was on the verge of tears, and that has happened rarely in my life. Please tell me you've seen this movie.

13.) Ghost Rider - 1.5/5

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can't believe how bad this movie was.

[jwelborn]

Yeah, I couldn't even make it all the way through that movie.

[drudo182]

I wanted to stop about ten minutes in. It looked like a made for tv movie with all the cheap fade ins and junk. Terrible script too.

[shinedown114]

American Beauty will be my 47th movie, ill have that done by tonight.

[shinedown114]

47. American Beauty - 10/10

Wow, what an amazing movie.

Im not going to sleep anytime soon, so

Ill take it off my list.

52. Hot Fuzz - 9/10

53. Pursuit of Happyness - 9/10

[TJ Wells]

we watched masculin feminin in film class last year. i really enjoyed that.

[-Aaron-]

14. 3:10 to Yuma (James Mangold,2007)
15. I'm Not There (Todd Haynes, 2007)
16. Sunshine (Danny Boyle, 2007)


I am really surprised a lot of you have never heard about The Lives of Others. It was easily the best foreign picture of last year and I thought it was better than a lot of the nomination POTY.

17. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Julian Schnabel, 2007)
18. There Will be Blood (P.T. Anderson, 2007)
19 Run Lola Run (Tom Tykwer, 1998)
20. The Last Laugh (F.W. Murnau, 1924)

[TJ Wells]

well you're aware that the only award it was eligible for last year was best foreign language film (which it won); its this year's oscars where it's eligible for everything else.

[-Aaron-]

well you're aware that the only award it was eligible for last year was best foreign language film (which it won); its this year's oscars where it's eligible for everything else.

That can happen? It can win last year and then get nominated for everything this year?

21. The Pawnshop (Charles Chaplin, 1916)

[TJ Wells]

Foreign films usually come out much earlier in other countries than the U.S. (except for the major ones), so they are eligible for best Foreign Language the year they're released in their country of origin, and in every other category the year they are released in the U.S. Even though The Lives Of Others got a release here before the Oscars (I believe), it wasn't enough to qualify for any other categories.

Hence the reason Ulrich Muhe deserves a best Actor nomination.

[garggggh]

I have to watch Birth of a Nation soon and Brining Up Baby for my Film Classics class this week.

Ah, Bergman is easily one of my favorite directors. I tend to like his later work more so than his classic early stage. I really enjoy The Seventh Seal but The Silence of God Trilogy, Persona, Scenes from a Marriage will always be my favorites.

I didn't know that. Has that ever happened before?

[TJ Wells]

Regarding wins or nominations?

[CubbyNick42]

Either one...the same movie getting recognized in two separate years.

[TJ Wells]

From what I can tell from Wikipedia, I don't think its actually ever happened before.

[CubbyNick42]

Hmm. We'll see then I guess. I've got The Lives of Others on hold (Naperville Public Library what what) so I'll get that watched this weekend.

[TJ Wells]

Ah bitchin! Nichols or 95th street?

It was my second time watching BoaN because it was for my music and film class, so analyzing the effects of accompaniment on silent film era. However, I didn't appreciate BoaN until the second time around which was after I had done all the research to write the 10 page paper. Griffith revitalized the KKK movement in America and the Invisible Empire had up to, I believe but not 100%, 5 million participants/members at one time. I mean in the film, even Woodrow Wilson supports the success of the KKK. Also, it sprung about riots from blacks and protests in NYC and LA but a good portion of Congressmen were somewhat involved with the KKK even up until the late 50s. Crazy.

Teeth is a 72% It's hilarious in a weird way but lots of important gender role themes.

15.) The Ex (Unrated) - 2.5/5

[jwelborn]

The only thing good about The Ex was Jason Bateman.

[Joe DeAndrea]

15.) The Ex (Unrated) - 2.5/5

Do you know what the difference is between the unrated and regular version?

[jwelborn]

1/16/2008 - 25. Interview
1/17/2008 - 26. The Killing Of John Lennon

1/18/2008 - 28. Scoop
1/19/2008 - 29. Clerks II
1/19/2008 - 30. Normal Adolescent Behavior: Havoc 2

[drudo182]

Do you know what the difference is between the unrated and regular version?

I'd say not much in the PG-13 sense. This could have easily been PG-13 besides maybe one scene where this guy talks about how to get your wife to give you blow jobs all the time. That might be the only thing that pushes it.

I did watch the 3 alternate endings and the third one says its the theatrical version so I guess the ending is different too. The theatrical ending was horrible. I would have been so pissed if I would have gotten that over what the unrated version offers.

[drudo182]

16.) Cloverfield - 4.5 / 5

LOVED IT.

[jwelborn]

Im really debating if I want to see Cloverfield or not.

So Cloverfield was all and even more than what I was expecting, so i was definatly happy about that.

Im a huge soccer(football) fan and ive played for over 10 years, so Green Street Hooligans was definatly an awesome movie for me. I know most people would not give it a 10 out of 10, but for me, it was definatly the coolest.

Cloverfield was great and I liked Rounders a lot as well but I thought Green Street Hooligans was just average. The girl who directed it is doing the new Punisher movie. Let's see how that turns out...

[-Aaron-]

I may be mixing this up with something else, but I thought Greed was a lost film...?

My professor burnt me a copy of the theatrical released 2-1/4th hour version. The losts versions are the 7hour, 9 hour, and the 9 2/3rd hour versions. All those reels got melted for silver rumor has it.

I still really enjoyed Greed though. Some scenes don't really make a lot of sense since when cutting the had to cut out entire characters and side-stories. It is a real shame that the entire film is lost. The finale is so emotional.

I think the reason i liked it so much is that I wished i could have grown up in a society were soccer is taken seriously, instead of here, where it's the 5th sport to look at. I didn't really think that Elijah gave that great of a performance, the supporting actors did a better job in my mind, I just really liked what the film was about.

[TJ Wells]

Jesus, shinedown, how have you watched 65 movies in the first two weeks of the year? That must mean that, more or less, you have literally done nothing else. No offense or anything. Just, I watched 363 movies last year, and I was only around 20 or so this time last year.

I was wondering the same thing. I really don't do anything other than go to class in the morning on the weekdays and im on number 32.

[jwelborn]

Oh and out of Atonement, There Will Be Blood and Cloverfield. Which should I go see tomorrow?

[drudo182]

If you want to have a good time, see Cloverfield.

I loved Atonement and Cloverfield and Blood isn't here yet. My friend saw it yesterday and he loved it though. We are both big PT Anderson fans.

I'd say they are all safe bets.

I like Wood and the other guy isn't bad either. I remember him from Undeclared. I'm not much of a soccer fan but that wasn't really the reason I didn't love it.

Still, not a bad film by any means.

[TJ Wells]

The most fun movie is Clovefield.

The best movie is Atonement.

The movie with the best performances is There Will Be Blood.

Hope that helps.

[garggggh]

Man, and I thought I watched a lot of movies.

Anyhow, recapping the list:
19. Teeth (Mitchell Lichtenstein, 2008) - 72%
20. Super Troopers (Jay Chandrasekhar, 2001) - 73%
21. Superbad (Greg Mottola, 2007) - 91%
22. Sideways (Alexander Payne, 2004) - 92%
23. Rushmore (Wes Anderson, 1999) - 95%
24. He Was a Quiet Man (Frank Cappello, 2007) - 81%

He was a Quiet Man is like Mulholland Drive meets Milton from Office Space with Elisha Cuthbert tits. The ending is somewhat ambiguous which I guess leaves it open for discussion but nothing is resolved through all the twists and turns. Not bad though.

He was a Quiet Man automatically became a million times better whenever I got to see Elisha Cuthbert topless, a fantasy I have had for years now. So how was Teeth?

[jwelborn]

I will probably start out with Cloverfield, and then go see Atonement sometime before this coming friday. I'll probably hold out a while for There Will Be Blood.

[garggggh]

He was a Quiet Man automatically became a million times better whenever I got to see Elisha Cuthbert topless, a fantasy I have had for years now. So how was Teeth?

What was your take on He was a Quiet Man? Very similar to Mulholland Drive I think. I'm not fully sure if the events happened but the ending is so ambiguous that it could've. Very Lynchish.

As for Teeth, the theater was packed cause it was free screening and everyone was just laughing cause some of the parts are just so absurd, especially when the vag bites off the dick and it just plops on the floor. But if you pay attention to certain phrases that are said and especially the portrayal of men vs. women sexuality, it's a decent movie. It's so over the top that it was good.

I downloaded Atonement too but I think I'm in the mood for Battle Royale haha. Watching 3:10 right now.

Yeah, I really want to see Teeth but I know I won't ever get it around here so i'll have to wait until the dvd release. And to be honest im still not really sure how I feel about "He was a Quiet Man"

It was a decent film, but the whole vibe of the movie made me feel pretty bad. Just the whole situation with Slater and Cuthbert's characters.

[jwelborn]

Has anyone seen or looking forward to seeing Jeff Garlin's "I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With"?

[Ravenna]

Has anyone seen or looking forward to seeing Jeff Garlin's "I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With"?
im looking forward to seeing it. i love jeff garlin.

[Lueda Alia]

I just watched Juno. It was exactly what I expected and I loved it.

[shinedown114]

Jesus, shinedown, how have you watched 65 movies in the first two weeks of the year? That must mean that, more or less, you have literally done nothing else. No offense or anything. Just, I watched 363 movies last year, and I was only around 20 or so this time last year.

Hahaha, I get to explain it some more.

I really do have a life.

I have school on weekdays from 8-3
I then have work from 5-10 on Sun, Mon, Wed and Friday.
Im with my friends till around 6 on weekdays that i dont work
I am usually with my friends from 6-12 on Friday and Sat nights

So that leaves we with:
Weekend days
Weekend nights from 12am till around 6am
Week nights from 10pm till around 4am

It all comes down to the fact that i dont really sleep...

[shinedown114]

I just watched Juno. It was exactly what I expected and I loved it.

Definatly a great movie, i loved the opening credits to the very end

[garggggh]

That's still a ton of movies. I mean I even get the benefit of having film classes every day and I don't even see that many. To add though:

25. 3:10 to Yuma (James Mangold, 2007) - 95%
Loved this movie. Russell Crowe's bad ass.

[Bruce_LeBeau]

There's still lots of movie that I haven't watch it yet. But, so far here's my list of best movies in 2007:

1. Into The Wild
2. Waitress
3. Once
4. No Country For Old Men
5. Ratatouille
6. The Bourne Ultimatum
7. La Vie En Rose

[drudo182]

18.) All The King's Men - 3/5
19.) Eastern Promises - 3.5/5
20.) American History X - 4.5/5

It was the first time I saw AHX which is weird. I had seen a lot of it on TV but it's all edited and stuff so I knew basically everything but wow, great film. Some wonderful cinematography as well.

[jwelborn]

I've decided to hold out on my trip to the theaters. Its a holiday all the kids are out of school and im sure the theater will be packed with them wanting to see Cloverfield and I have a real problem about people talking and such during a movie.

So im going to go sometime this coming week during the day.

im watching this for class in a couple weeks. what did you think of it?

[garggggh]

7. La Vie En Rose

How was this one? I heard it was alright. It reminds me of that film My Life in Pink where this little boy thinks he's a girl (Mi Vie en Rose)

im watching this for class in a couple weeks. what did you think of it?

You must watch anything and everything by Federico Fellini. He is one of the best auteurs. 8 1/2 is probably one of my favorite films of all time. Him, Renoir and Truffaut are probably my three favorite deceased directors.

[Jessooker]

How was this one? I heard it was alright. It reminds me of that film My Life in Pink where this little boy thinks he's a girl (Mi Vie en Rose)



It's a very good film. Marion Cotillard gives the best female performance of the year as Edith Piaf, it's quite incredible.

[Lueda Alia]

I started watching A Scanner Darkly last night, but I couldn't get into it. Part of me thinks it's because I was too sleepy (it was 3 am..), but I'm not really sure. Has anyone seen it?

Last night was amazing

70. Hot Rod - 8/10
71. Reign Over Me - 9/10

im really pulling for cotillard for best actress. she is just mindblowing. if she was an american actress, she would be a shoo-in over Christie.

[jwelborn]

me you and everyone we know. youre thinking of the band. incredible, incredible film though.

haha you are right, I didn't even notice that. I really haven't heard much talk about that film actually, but i'll be watching it sometime tomorrow.

[TJ Wells]

It's a hard film not to fall in love with. Think if a Regina Spektor song was a movie, that's about the best comparison I can make. Miranda July is a genius and I can't wait for her next film.

I watched Untraceable tonight and it was pretty disturbing.

Blue Velvet or Twin Peaks season. I've only heard negative about Inland.

[jwelborn]

Blue Velvet or Twin Peaks season. I've only heard negative about Inland.

Glad you said something because I was going to go pick up Inland Empire today, I still might just to check it out.

[drudo182]

I saw Blue Velvet in my film class and didn't care for it really. My friend loves Lynch but I don't see what is so great.

I do want to want to see his other films though to at least see them.

[shinedown114]

I saw Collateral for the first time last night. Kind of slow at parts, but for as much as I hate Tom Cruise, he nailed it. I enjoyed it, a lot.

Collateral is one of my favorites

[reductiondesign]

Glad you said something because I was going to go pick up Inland Empire today, I still might just to check it out.

Inland Empire is incredible.

Check out Eraserhead. That and Mulholland Dr. are Lynch's masterpieces.

Blue Velvet is overrated. There, I said it.

[garggggh]

Glad you said something because I was going to go pick up Inland Empire today, I still might just to check it out.

I've been meaning to see it but there's a shit ton other movies that I'm more interested in watching. My understanding of IE is that it's just like MDr. but placed in San Bernardino, aka the ghettoz.

[jwelborn]

Inland Empire is incredible.

Check out Eraserhead. That and Mulholland Dr. are Lynch's masterpieces.

I was surprised too. My friend and I went to see that on a whim. I ended up buying the dvd, lol. The best scene is when he's doing the dance from "Flashdance".

[drudo182]

That was funny. I am trying to think of what I thought was the funniest bit. Chris Parnell was hilarious whenever he came into the film. I had to rewind a part he said like four times because it made me laugh so much. It was when Rod does the big stunt and crashes and Parnell says something about how he hopes that none of his crew got in a fight with him earlier because he is more than likely dead.

Just stuff like that is funny to me. I usually don't go for these comedies but I like this style of humor where its so random.

[aminorthreat55]

Blue Velvet is overrated. There, I said it.
Thank you for informing me of that. That is still the only thing of his that I've seen and I was hoping that would be the case because I was not particularly impressed in terms of it being his most famous/important work or something like that. I still plan to watch Eraserhead, Wild at Heart, and some others in the near future but I was always worried that they wouldn't be any good if Blue Velvet was the best that he could do.

[jwelborn]

The plot line to Hot Rod was hilarious, raising enough money for his step father to have a transplant and live so he can kick his ass. But I just didn't find the things in the movie that funny other than the Bill Hader scenes.

Start with Mulholland Dr. Get on that ASAP.

Wild At Heart wasn't too great either--don't get how it won him best director at Cannes. :shrug:

Will do. I have Dune saved on TiVo but I've heard that it's trash. I think I'm going to pick up with Eraserhead and Mulholland.
