Movies

I loved the Italian Job! The only thing I was disappointed in was when they didn't drive the minis through the house like they originally planned. That would have been so neat. I haven't seen the original but it sounds like I should.

Rudy I'd offer an explaination of the Matrix but that would spoil it for those who haven't seen it... so I'll PM you and see what I can do...

My favorite movies are definatly Lord of the rings. Gollum! Gollum! Err, Anyway I also like Shrek 2. It's hilarious! I always liked Stargate (Love the show too!),Dragon Heart, X-men and X-men 2, Star Wars, Pirates of the Carribean, and Space Balls.

I really disliked " The Core" (Waaay to boring!), ANY of the "Spy kids" movies. My neighbors kids ALWAYS want to watch those movie and I can't stand it! :XP: Theres some other movies I don't like that I can't think of right now.

I haven't seen much movies in the theater, But I did see " The day after Tomorrow" And I really liked it. I thought it would be dumb, But it was really good! And I also saw "Shrek 2" and that movie is so funny! You must see it! I LOVE Puss in boots! And it has alot of adult humor!

I want to see "Spiderman 2" though! The first one was alright but I hope the second one is better.

If you're looking for Castlevania: The Movie, then Van Helsing is your cup of tea.

I thought it was a fun movie. Not great, not bad, but definitely a lot of fun. The musical score was very good. I liked how they rendered the werewolves.

Hmm..I forgot about "Signs" and the two "Shrek" movies.

Signs was okay. One HUGE plothole, though (why the aliens that fear water are on earth in the first place), but because I watched it with the lights out with surround sound...I couldn't sleep that night. lol

The Shrek movies are wonderful. I've seen the second one two times. I agree that it has a lot of adult humor, but it's great anyway.

I never saw the spiderman movies, but I will probably end up doing so.

I thought Signs was quite good but I didn't like the aliens so that spoilt it for me. I just thought they looked a bit stupid...

I loved Shrek but I haven't seen the second one yet and I don't know if it's actually out in the UK yet. I've seen advertisements so I think it might be coming out really soon or it might just be out now but I didn't know or something.

last film I've seen was Troy. It was a good film although they didn't follow the original story

Movieness...

My favorites are as follows:

Favorite animated film: I have three; The Lion King, Brother Bear, and Shrek 2!

Favorite fantasy film: Lord of the Rings:Return of the King.
Favorite anime: Spirited Away...and don't make fun of me...Pokemon; the first movie...

No likes:

Finding Nemo: I never really got the point of why there was no Music Scenes whatsoever. The characters never sung at all! (Besides Dory's 'Just Keep Swimming...)
Harry Potter: No offense, but I never really liked JK Rowling's books, nor the movies...

Spirit was okay. The only reason it hit big was because it featured a wild horse; running free. Disney could top it. Just watch.

I've forgotten a couple of movies!

Secondhand Lions was a great movie - really funny... some action... a little bit of everything and a great story too! The end is great but I won't spoil it for you... in the beginning there's these two old guys fishing in a pond with shotguns... and that just the beginning of it... plus it's a good clean family movie... something you really don't see very often anymore... especially with such a good movie that isn't corny or a remake or anything... it's just fun. I'm surprised it hasn't been more popular.

Terminator 3 was very terminator-y

lots of action... I liked that one of the main characters was a vet

The end was nice and ironic too. But it's not and never will be my favorite movie...

Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door is a good movie

It's like an extra-long episode. Really exciting plot and everything. Ummm it is rated R for some language and content... but it's still my favorite movie (I've watched it at least 20 times already! - in the about three months that I've had it...)

I don't like Harry Potter books or movies either. :XP: * Gets tackled by Harry Potter fans*

Don't worry Harry Potter fans. There is a member here who does enjoy both the books and the movies...me! I saw the third movie the other day and it was just as good as the first two but is definitely darker.

I saw the third movie yesterday because it 'twas my mom's birthday present... It was okay...

Secondhand Lions was a great movie. Jasmine the lion was awesome!

I spent last night watching Gangs of New York.
It was good.
It was very good.
It was also, in my opinion a heckuva lot more violent than Kill Bill.
The reasoning behind that controversial statement is a simple one: with Tarantino the violence is taken to such an extreme that it almost becomes a caricature of itself. It is SO over the top that you never for a moment take it seriously.
With Scorsese though the violence is harsh and brutal and bloody. You feel every blow and it can be painful to watch.
Very worth a watch if you have a strong stomach though
