Movies I recommend

[CricketJunoon]

I recently saw "Primal Fear" again and I think it is a very interesting and unpredictable drama.....Ed Norton and Richard Gear are great in it.

[Easa]

Veronica is on her holidays until SepT/Jan...........we had a big row before she left me in april , so i said fine but you will regret going away from me, she said yeah what ever and then i met Elisha :108: :107:o

and not a bad movie........but why did she have to be a ........:110:


:)))

Exactly what I thought after I watched it. Elisha, though is just :19: imo.

[Easa]

Has anyone seen Lucky Number Slevin?

Great movie.

[Daoud]

Has anyone seen Lucky Number Slevin?

Great movie.
Yeah, I enjoyed it a lot. Pretty interesting story line, and quite a bit of dry humour

The Boss: They call him "the Fairy"...
Slevin: Why do they call him "the Fairy"?
The Boss: Because he's a fairy.
Slevin: What, he's got wings... he flies around sprinkling magic dust on people?
The Boss: He's a homosexual!

:)))

[Easa]

I agree Daoud.

This part was just :))) :)))

[Purgatory]

Anyone seen "A Scanner Darkly" yet? I loved the book, and would like to see the film, but this rotoscoping or whatever it's called seems very weird. The book was psychodelic in itself, so I suppose it adds that feeling to the film. Anyway, I shall hopefully see it soon. With Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, it should be at least okay.

[sneekysneeky]

just came back from "Lage Raho Munnabhai"... hilarious movie... if you liked "Munnabhai MBBS" youll love this one... Munna-Circuit combo is brilliant... hope they make another one!

[Officer Barbrady]

Yes sneek munna bhai 1 was good. The first hour at least.

And welcome back to pp and the movies I recom thread.

[MIG]

I saw Nacho Libre - I think it was hilarious !

Also saw Miam Vice ( some heavily censored version in Bahrain )

Can someone tell me if this movie had a title or not - in Bahrain, it just starts off without any title !

Three words. Being. John. Malkovich. I'm sorry I didn't watch this masterpiece sooner.

I watched it weeks back with Invictus.....Your'e right it was a very gruesome movie and I can understand why it was censored due to some explicity scenes (I had watched the uncensored version)...Anyway, no it launched right into the movie, with titles coming at the end...

[Officer Barbrady]

The departed is out in a couple of weeks. Looks pretty good with a good cast.

I saw Jarhead on the plane thought it wasn't bad at all.

I thought it was pretty rubbish. Had one or two bits that kinda raised a smile but the rest was boring/predictable. Couldn't make it's mind up if it wanted to be a horror film, a comedy, both or neither.

[zushy_786]

Im sure entra loves it

Yep anything with Kate Beckensale, entra is sure to drool over..The movie however was ok, the jokes got repetitive and moronic towards the middle....I'm sure when Kate comes in her Pocahantas costume, entra will be fainting....

Sounds like most B grade horror movies then. Army of Darkness aside, I havent really warmed to supposed horror movies being more funny than scary

It wasnt too bad, but it was very British which means theres very little middle ground as far as appreciation goes. No Army of Darkness though

The Departed.

Was Nicholson decent enough? ;)

Was Nicholson decent enough? ;)

He was the king among his subjects! But after him, it was Di Caprio who was the star. Infact, him and Matt Damon saved it from being a Nicholson-alone movie.

[qasim722]

Guys have anybody seen The Queen (2006)?How is the movie?

[qasim722]

I just saw two classics by Henry Fonda,

Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men.Both movies are awesome.

Watched Da Vinci Code the other day. Didn't like it, I expected it to be a little intense and thrilling, which they were trying, but it was neither.

Over The Hedge

[Jimmy two-times]

Entra was the 'the score' any good?

Waiting to see Departed and borat the movie.

Last film I saw was 'The Squid and the Whale' it was a weird film, funny in most parts but disturbing in others.

yep that's the one, Im thinking it could be good as it has de niro, norton and brando but I have never heard anyone talk about this film.

it was an ok movie.. nothing special and not too bad either.

[Daoud]

yep that's the one, Im thinking it could be good as it has de niro, norton and brando but I have never heard anyone talk about this film.
Brando had a very small role and the movie seemed to drag a bit.

[entralinks]

Monky The Score had a great cast but the movie was just you would mostly expect with De Niro in those times. Its about robbing some valuable object again. I didn't like it, it was too predictable and too common, as least it feels like that now in 2006. All the stuff in it has been done before.

[entralinks]

I would recommend The Descent, it is a good movie, everyone might like it to an extent.

[Jimmy two-times]

Entra try to get your hands on 'The Squid and the Whale' watch it just for the antics of the small kid, I cant say what he does as this a family website but you might be able to relate to him.

I like the classics, cool hand luke , carnal knowledge, easy riders, rebel without a cause, citizen cane, amongst others, the early bond movies, also lawerencce of arabia, 12 angry men, gregory peck, redford and newman movies rule.

basically nicholson, pacino, fonda, all the old guys none of these new guys no how to act.

I watched American Beauty the other day, cannot believe I didn't earlier, loved it. Kevin Spacey was very good in the movie. The scene where he opens his daughter's diary and calls his friend and as his daughter comes out of the bathroom, he turns around, runs for two steps and then walks ever so slowly and relaxed... absolutely hilarious that, eternal.

[Officer Barbrady]

The Departed is a great movie.

A real treat after a long time.

[sana]

just watched 'The Omen'. it's good but the old version is better. i like the part (in the old one) where the boy sees the 6s on his head and runs out to the lake and shouts 'why me?'. can't wait for the 2nd part.

[Cartman]

that was in omen part II i believe.. omen part I original was the scariest thing I ever saw (i was 8 at the time) ...

I want to see Prestige.

Prestige is a sick and twisted movie. i loved it.

[the_game]

Damn it, I wish I could watch Prestige. Christian Bale is the best young actor of this era. I have already spent ten bucks on the Departed, and the other ten bucks are for Borat's masterpiece releasing in November!

[Officer Barbrady]

O yes. It's Prestige and then Borat next month.
Probably De Niro's the Shepard (or good shepard?) for December.
Finally a bunch of movies worth looking forward to.

Just saw the Departed, good stuff but I would rate Goodfelles and Casino as best gangster films scorsese has made.

Also saw Click with was a good timepass flick .

come on entra.. you cant compare pacino and bale.. even though bale is a fine actor..

but jackman outdid bale in my opinion in the prestige. and guess what.. David Bowie was almost unrecognizable and brilliant in his small role as Tesla.. Dont want to give away much about the movie here.. i think jackman's got more talent than the roles he has done so far.

What about Edward Norton? I thought his performance in "American History X" is one of the best performances ever in history of cinema. Extremely moving and powerful... only reason he didn't win the Oscars that year was most of the dialogue in the movie was anti-Jew.

As an actor generally speaking, I personally think Jim Carrey is outstanding and probably the most critically under-rated actors of all time. Compare his roles in 'The Mask' and 'Me, Myself and Irene' to his roles in Truman Show and the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless (his best performance in my opinion). His performances speak for themselves. He has a new movie coming out next year called "The Number 23". Looks really interesting - can't wait!

I absolutely agree with you on both points. Norton is a fantastic actor, and one of my favorites to be honest. Bale's "American Psycho" just overwhelms me at times, thus my reference. But in no way is Norton any less of an actor than Bale.

Have to disagree entra bhai Sandlers films stikes a cord with me. I guess it appels to my mad cap humour.

[Daoud]

Norton in American History X and Bale in American Psycho only go to prove that the best performance wont usually win the Oscar

That look in Norton's eyes after he dealt with the black robbers was absolutely psychotic. Although the same could be said about Bale throughout American Psycho.

Oscars usually don't look at performances in all movies to be honest. They look for the movie to be politically correct first, and the performances of an actor/actress are secondary.

I think Puss'n'Boots in Shrek 2 is the greatest character ever in animated movies. Unless someone reminds me of a better one. Antonio Banderas's voice is magical.

Haven't seen shrek 2, but from what i've seen it has to be donkey from shrek 1.

Yeah but it is a top quality film for any audience. i love it aswell!

Puss in boots is far better than Donkey

[Cartman]

Donkey is more magical than Puss N Boots.
he can talk and he could fly.. and he is sexyyyy!!!

Actually Daoud Donkey does seem better until you see Puss n Boots. And after that you feel like they take Donkey out of the story completely. But he somewhat makes up for it by the end. But certainly no competition with Puss.

Sorry, didn't read all of Marooned's post, I just hurry through them normally, same old BS.

Though it did make me end up look like an ****. But thats more bearable.

Good to see you in some spirit.

I finally saw the Departed and loved it apart from the ending which was a bit of a waste. Still the movie was awesome as was Jack Nicholson. That scene in the cinema had me in stiches

Im sure thats what the intention was but not everyone knows what one is - I certainly dont. I was fine with the stuff in the elevator but the bit right at the end involving Mark Wahlberg's character just threw me off. Still, a minor part and the rest of the movie was top notch

[Big Mac]

Look, I've asked 3 or 4 times and still haven't got an answer to this:

Does the Departed stick to the events of the original or does it also have bits from Infernal Affairs 2 and 3 thrown in also? I've only seen the first one so might hold off watching The Departed until I've watched the entire trilogy.

Unless not one of you movie watching heathens has seen the original? :12:

[Officer Barbrady]

There was nothing wrong with the ending.

I don't know about the UK, but what threw off North American viewers was that in all the commercials, the last bit with Mark Wahlberg had already been shown. Thus, I was just sitting in the theater and waiting for whatever happened at the end to eventually happen. Producers should really be cautious with what scenes they throw out for commercials and publicity.

I dont live in the UK, but I dont remember seeing that part in the trailor or even if I did I didnt pay any attention to it so that wasnt a problem

[entralinks]

Saw The Departed today, absolute fazool film and forgettable experience. Same old story, same old style being fed over and over again, nothing new, nothing interesting nor exciting.

[Big Mac]

Well as it looks like nobody has seen Infernal Affairs I'm left with no choice. I hereby announce my retirement from the movie thread with immediate effect due to my acute disappointment in all of you. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Has any1 watched here 'Humare Baap Ke Jhanday"?if yes, how is it?worth watching?

[Jimmy two-times]

I watched Iqbal which is well made film, its about cricket and as a fan you will relate to the story and its pretty acurate about what happens in cricket in places like pakistan and india.

I also watched 'Behind the enemy lines 2' the less said about this the better, complete and utter garbage.

[octavian]

anyone watching Babel ? or a good year ?

crow and ridley scott is a good combo

[Daoud]

Rented out Munich (less than $2 rentals on Tuesday so more convinent than downloading). However, much to my horror I find out that I have a $73 late fine. My sister and cousin rented a couple of overnight DVDs and watched it at my cousins place. I asked her if she gave it back on time and she said yeah. More like 2 weeks late. I certainly am not paying that fine

[Jimmy two-times]

Guys if you loved ong-back I recommend you watch the 'the warrior king' tony jaa is just insane with stunts he does in this film. There is this one scene in a warehouse where is up against 20 people who are on rollerskates, bikes, and quadbikes and he just wrecks havoc.

I also watched 'waiting' starring the blonde guy from 'van wilder' a boring film with no story line.

I saw Borat recently and it really didn't live up to its hype. It was funny, but not insanley funny. The Prestige is a good movie to watch if your looking for something new.

I Saw Don.. What a load of pants...

This version did no justice to the original film, this remake should not have been attemped..

The old movie had class and a real funky "black expotation" type feel to it. (think Jacky Brown or Boogie nights)

The new one is just a pointless copy up a very bad casting - all the baddies look the same, there no class to this movie.

In the original, Don had class, would drive mercedes benz or ford mustangs, this new don drives a tata sumo jeep..

As for the special effects in the plane jumping scene... frankly i've seen better special effects in most uk tv adverts.

and as for the twist at the end, it left too many holes in the story.

2 / 10

Music also sucked compared to the original.

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I watched the sentinel yesterday... Began on a promising note however the climax portrions didn't do justice to the movie. Although Micheal Douglas performed well!!

[Jimmy two-times]

Has anyone seen Van Wilder The Rise of Taj yet? is it any good?

I'd recommend V for Vendetta. Very different, Great film, very enjoyable.

Darren Arnofsky's The Fountain.

watched it last weekend on its premiere week and it was absolutely brilliant!

[entralinks]

The Fountain has Rachel Weisz in it, that alone makes it a must see.

expect her in a darren arnofsky movie, she is married to him! and believe me she gives a stellar performance! in fact both her and hugh jackman deserve atleast a golden globe award for their work (since we all know that the oscars are rigged).

I liked Inside Man - it wasnt brilliant BUT it had enough about it for it to be classed a good film imo - perhaps you felt Jodie wasnt in it enough? :D

[Saj]

I've watched a couple of good films this weekend. Hard Candy and RV.

Hard Candy is about a young girl who entraps a paedophile, good story line. RV is hilarious -Robin Williams at his best.

Saw RV a few days ago. Was decent, nothing special. Good for a few laughs.

[MCMLXXXII]

I saw Talladega nights which was pretty funny. I didn't expect it to be good but it was enjoyable.

I also saw Invincible, which was a decent movie. If you like football movies then this will be a good movie to watch. Its not about those miracle stories about how a team wins the championship or something, it is just about how an ordinary guy became an NFL pro.

[MCMLXXXII]

I got the whole bond collection recently, all 20 movies plus the unoficial "never say never again" After watching all of them I must say that Casino Royale was the best bond movie there has ever been.

I would also recommend Thankyou for smoking. It is a very enjoyable movie. I wrote a blog, reviewing it here (http://mcmlxxxii.blogspot.com/2006/09/thank-you-for-thank-you-for-smoking.html) .
