Law Abiding Citizen- Movie was easily forgettable. Lots of holes in the plot and pretty weak acting.

Sugar- Excellent movie from the directors of Half Nelson. It's a story about a baseball player from the Dominican Republic who gets called up to the Minor Leagues in the US, but never makes it to the Majors so he has to find something new with virtually no knowledge of English, friends or family and an expired visa. I'd suggest picking it up even if you're not a baseball fan, as its much more than just a baseball movie. Part of it is shot in Davenport as well.

This movie came up in a discussion tonight, so I felt I needed to add it.

Moon- One of the better movies I've seen this year. Scifi thriller about a man who lives on the moon for 3 years operating a station that extracts minerals for world energy. However, near the end of his stint he starts hallucinating and discovers a secret about his existence. An interesting 'big brother is watching you' concept. See this now if you haven't already.

Here's the trailer:

I saw Moon when it was showing at the Fleur Cinema. I'll second that it was good.

Law Abiding Citizen - Enjoyed but it seemed like it was lacking something. I feel like the story could have been pulled off a little better. Sort of seems rushed.

Just downloaded and watched moon. Very enjoyable.

i liked the movie but i agree it lacked something.

In the last three days:

Good Will Hunting
The Royal Tenenbaums
Inglourious Basterds - glad to finally see it. American propaganda at its best
Transformers 2 - you can't polish a turd, etc.
Persepolis - animated film of the graphic novel. About a girl's life through the Iranian Islamic Revolution

totally forgot about watching Inglorious Basterds. great movie. loved it.

I liked this one. Lots of interesting shit happening in that one.

saw most of '9' last night.........pretty rad. if your into post apocolyptic(sp) themes.

i saw the new chan wook park film thirst last night. korean vampire film from the oldboy dude. it was pretty good. the narrative could have been better but the directing was masterful.

the room--worth checking out, but i dont know why.

The room is hysterical just because it's soooo horrible, though I fell asleep so I guess I can't say it's completely worthless...

there's only one movie that matters and if you haven't seen it, see it THE CUBE

Moon-different then i thought it would be, i always like Sam Rockwell.

Fantastic Mr. Fox-Really looking forward to this!

I watched Notorious last night and found myself a little disappointed, but I'm not sure why. It just didn't really live up to my expectations. For sure though, if you like rap or boobies, check this out.

I thought Notorious was pretty good.
Inglourious Basterds - Awesome, loved Brad Pitt in it.

I am reading this book right now. Did not know they made a movie about it.

persepolis looks good. i remember seeing something about iron maiden in a trailer for it. maybe a shirt. i wanna see that and thirst.
i just watched hype about the seattle grunge scene. that was alright.
gonna watch futurama or district 9 now......

If I remember right she picked up a bootleg Iron Maiden tape as a teenager in Tehran and it ends up changing her life.


So as of recent...


The Mark of Zorro (1940). It's been years since I've seen one of the old Zorro films and I enjoyed this one. I like the Zorro character - he's like an bourgeois Castillian version of Robin Hood. The colonial California setting is pretty cool too. I know most of you appreciate a good sword fight.

The Hill. Starring Sean Connery. This one was about a British military prison in North Africa during WWII and sadistic prison guards. I liked this one.

Bruno. Not as funny as Borat or Ali G but I liked it. I'll probably only watch this one once.

one of my favorites.

El Rhino wrote:Faust - the 1920's German silent film about Satan and stuff. Very sweet. I kind of like old silent films.

I watched this in a class called Pact with the Devil. We mostly discussed German literature but watched a couple of films. Some of the speical effects (the mechanical horsemen, Mephisto blanketing the city, etc.) are pretty neat. The movie strays from Goethe's Faust, but it's great regardless.

I watched the movie "Царь" about Ivan Grozny and his relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church. I enjoyed it.

watched Sukiyaki Western Django last night. Pretty awesome movie. It's by Takashi Miike so if you're familiar with his work and like it, you will like this movie. Imagine The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly meets Seven Samurai.

or you know, the movie django, THAT IT WAS FUCKIN BASED ON.

Have District 9 downloaded but yet to watch, along with a ton of other movies. baby sleeping better at night so don't have an excuse anymore for being up late watching movies.

Get rid of your babies and divorce your wife.

this movie was NOT based on django but used some elements as in coffin full o guns. other than that. it's not really related. sorry. if anything it's more based off of Dollars Trilogy, a brilliant masterpiece of movies in the western genre.

wtf are you talkin about? lone stranger drifts into a town controlled by two rival gangs with a coffin full of weapons he offers at the highest price, who then proceeds to play the two gangs against each other. i've scene leone's nameless stranger trilogy and i've scene django, might make a nod to them here and there, but this is obviously based on django.
i watched district 9 yesterday. pretty cool ending but i was kinda left wanting more. the special effects were fuckin top notch though.
