Movies I recommend

I don't find much in him. I would say Josh Hartnett is better.

Entra, khuda ke waastay! Hartnett is like the Sami of Hollywood. Honestly.

[Daoud]

Wait a minute, sir do I know you? I don't know how people find the guts to talk to me like that in their first conversation with me. Apologise to me right now, it is too early to get this personal with me like this. PP wise I'm two years and 10,000 posts senior to you.
OK entra, do you find him better looking. The seniority thing wont wash here :D

[MCMLXXXII]

Leslie Bibb was amazing in it. Didn't know she existed. Thus neither did I.

Right on the money.

[MCMLXXXII]

Blood Diamond was really good. Leo has become the best actor of our generation.
Rocky Balboa was like any other rocky movie. It was decent. very slow in the beginning. watchable.
We Are Marshalls was very bad. Not worth watching.

[Jimmy two-times]

Josh Hartnett seems to imitate Brad Pitt in the couple films I have seen him in.

Watch him 'lucky number slevin' and you will know what I mean.

Matt damon is the better actor imo.

[Easa]

Josh Harnett was good in Lucky Number Slevin.

[MCMLXXXII]

Matt Damon is much much much better than Josh Hartnett. He has been veyr good in the bourne movies. Good Will hunting was excellent and he is the reason why Ben Affleck even had an acting career. I have liked Josh Hartnett in only Black Hawk Down, and even then his acting was second best to Eric Bana.

[entralinks]

Wait a minute guys, if Dustin Hoffman can be at par with Pacino, which goof did Josh pull?

[Toony™®]

watched Rocky 6 last night ..excellent movie....didn't make out to be to unrealistic ..other than Rocky Punching style remaining the same..ie. with no defense...


there could be a rocky 7 as it ended like Rocky 1.

[the_game]

Wait a minute guys, if Dustin Hoffman can be at par with Pacino, which goof did Josh pull?

Pacino has won one Oscar for best actor, Hoffman has got two. 'Nuff said Entra baji ;-) .

[qaisar]

"Little Miss Sunshine" is the movie of the year :))

[entralinks]

OK entra, do you find him better looking. The seniority thing wont wash here :DWell here the stupidity thing comes in. :D

By the way where did Shoaib Akhtar's Fan go, is he thinking what I'm thinking?

[entralinks]

Pacino has won one Oscar for best actor, Hoffman has got two. 'Nuff said Entra baji ;-) .Holy ma! Now if only I pull out names who have won just as many as De Niro. ;-)

[the_game]

Holy ma! Now if only I pull out names who have won just as many as De Niro. ;-)

You shaat up Entra baji :D . Now go watch Borat's masterpiece as my pick for "Movie of the year 2006" (Not really, I would choose The Departed, but Borat is so much more cooler).

[The Blazer]

Rocky 6 isn't out in the UK yet is it?

[RazaSohail]

"Little Miss Sunshine" is the movie of the year :))

seconded emphatcially! :14:

[Saj]

I watched Snakes on a Plane yesterday. Fun film, enjoyed it.

[entralinks]

They said they used some more than 200 different snakes in the making, where 80% of the snakes I saw in the film were computer generated, where the hell did the real snakes go?

[entralinks]

You shaat up Entra baji :D . Now go watch Borat's masterpiece as my pick for "Movie of the year 2006" (Not really, I would choose The Departed, but Borat is so much more cooler).Borat was only really funny in the last half hour. Departed was all been there done that a hundred times, yes well made, but no creativity, nothing new, no juice.

[entralinks]

And Josh Hartnett was supposed to be a joke leading to #6758. :P

dude u must be kidding... this is a board where we all can voice our opinions irrespective of the no. of posts we have and just for ur knowledge i have been posting on this boards ever since it was hosted by rivals.net , changed my nick when the board shifted to sportsnetwork and then here.. so dont tell me whos senior and whos not!!! And maybe we dont noe each other but i do noe that there has been a word around this board that u play for the "other " team!! tht's the reason i asked u if u find Josh good-looking!!

Yaar, don't fret, Entra was just messing around in his own, sometimes absurd way.

[Aurangzeb]

watched an independent movie called "Babel" couple of weeks ago...damn good movie...you can count on independent/art movies to always be better than the mainstream crap that's churned out these days...

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Watched Employee of the Month and i quite liked it. Also bought Saw 3 DvD and am looking foward to watching it...

[entralinks]

Yaar, don't fret, Entra was just messing around in his own, sometimes absurd way.Thankyou Easa.


Watched Carlito's Way, loved the movie. Al Pacino in those nervous scenes, the movement of his eyes, stroke of genius.

[entralinks]

(By the way a rift has developed between entralinks and Shoaib Akhter's Fan, interesting interactions to come, everyone keep an eye)

[zushy_786]

Watched Children of Men last night....Excellent movie, although it was quite disturbing and very apocalyptic sci-fi movie...

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Whtever dude.. BTW have u watched "O" ? I thought Josh was superb in this movie.. wht do u say ?

I watched Adrift last night, superb film, a bit like Open Water. Based on true events.

Anyone seen it?

[MIG]

Saw Babel - now that is one heck of a good movie - deserves all the accolades it can get ! I am currently putting it as one of the best movies I have evr seen in my life...

[Easa]

What's Babel about, MIG bhai? Waisay, has anyone seen Rocky Balboa? I desperately need to download it?

[MIG]

Babel follows a story connecting 3 sets of people in different parts of the world - you have to see it to appreciate the genuis story line and direction..

[Oxy]

Any one seen Rocky Balboa? Ive seen them all in the cinema and here this one is as good as the 1st 3 prequels...

[Daoud]

I just saw it today. Got it on DVD - excellent print too. I hadnt actually seen Rocky 4 & 5 so the series hadnt been tarnished for me. This was pretty good - ending is obviously predictable but well done none the less

[MCMLXXXII]

Last night I saw The Warriors. A 1979 movie about a gang in New York, who have to make their way across town to their home in Coney Island with all the other gangs in the city (about a hundred) running after them. A great movie. I lived it. This movie is a classic and a must see.

I downloaded that ages ago, havnt seen it yet BUT the reason i downloaded it was cos i played the game -

[Pathan007]

i watched Revolver the other day.it looked good but did not understand the story at all.the story was very complicated with lots of twists in it. this Richie guy needs to go easy on producing the movies.

[Daoud]

I was going to get Babel from my movie store but the guy said the quality wasnt great so I get Blood Diamond instead. Also got Rocky and Apocalpyto. Seen Rocky and am watching Apocalypto. Have reached the human sacrifice scene. Been a pretty intense movie - will comment on it totally when I've finished

[Pathan007]

so, no one here has watched Revolver?

you got lucky there kratos, babel absolutely foolish and boring

[Geordie Ahmed]

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.

Seen both those films recently. Hard Candy was an interesting one - RV wasnt great BUT it had its moments

[Oxy]

Just watched Rocky Balboa, and as a fan of the original series (1st 4 anyway), I must say I really enjoyed it.

And they kept the original soundtracks - makes me want to get fit (only kidding)

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Anyone here watched Alpha Dog ? hows it ?

[MCMLXXXII]

so, no one here has watched Revolver?

I saw it. The movie had a couple of good quotes. You can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent. The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you look. Good on style and everything but the movie still doesn't make sense to me. Seems like the big boss guy everyone feered was in people's collective unconcious. All that Carl Jung stuff. I was expecting more action from Jason Statham. I like the other Guy Ritchie movies like Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels but this one was not the same.

[Sean]

Shrek 1 & 2 (animated)
Does anyone know when Shrek 3 is coming out?
Edit: I just did a search and found out that Shrek 3 will come out May 18th in USA. www.shrekthethird.com for the main site.

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

watched The Omen.. and I quite liked it

[MCMLXXXII]

I saw a couple of movies recently, I would recommend some of them.

The Prestige - The plot in this is one of the best plots I have seen. Tense and suspenseful throughout the movie. The two rivals were always at each others throat and pulled off some brilliant stuff to out do each other. extremely recommended.

Smokin Aces - A good plot and decent acting. A big cast. Basically a witness against the mob is about to testify and the FBI must get to him before 5-6 hitmen who have been given contracts to kill him get to him first. Its pretty cool as everyone is against each other and also trying to get the target.

Saw plenty more. Let me know if you guys want to know about a movie and I will review it.

[Daoud]

I had the choice of going to either Ghost Rider or the Prestige today but my brother was more inclined to watch Ghost Rider. I'll probably rent the Prestige tommorow. Ghost Rider got a bit lame at times

[dirk diggler]

southern comfort (starring shoaib akhtar lookalike keith carradine) & deliverence (burt reynolds & jon voight) great old school movies

[Ahmad]

Saw Old Boy - Its a Korean movie with english subtitles; but its a great, great movie! Must see.

[Daoud]

Finally saw the Prestige. I had seen the Illusionist a few months ago and I wasnt sure if the Prestige could match it but I can safely say that it was better. Having said that, I to an extent spotted the twist during a scene between Borden and his wife but there was so much going on that you could easily get lost. Very well made and acted. One thing that did surprise me was that David Bowie was Tesla. I didnt realise until I went on IMDB

[MIG]

I really liked Blood Diamond .... will see prestige next

[Geordie Ahmed]

Is prestige that one with Hugh Jackman in it?

looks pants

[Uzzy]

Hot Fuzz is meant to be really funny. The two guys from Shaun of the Dead are in it. Will be watching that soon.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hot Fuzz does look funny - i saw the trailer a few weeks ago and one scene was just quality.

[Daoud]

Is prestige that one with Hugh Jackman in it?

looks pants
Nah, its awesome. At first I thought how good can a movie about a magicians (Wolverine and Batman at that) be. But Bale has been excellent in every movie I've seen him and Caine is a legend and my mates had seen it and they said it was a top movie so my perception had changed. But then I went on holiday and it only just came out on cinema here this week so I just got the DVD and watched it.

[Saj]

I watched Hannibal Rising at the weekend. I didnt expect much to be honest, but I didnt think it was too bad.

I think it could have done with a better lead actor playing the young Hannibal.

Really want to watch Blood Diamond though and Apocolipto.

I had the EXACT same experience.

I saw Smokin Aces and it was a decent movie to watch. I thought it would be disappointing but it was good till the end. It wouldn't bore you, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

I also saw Saw III I had seen the first 2 so thought might as well see this one too. It was good, if u liked the first one, it will live up to that same level. first one was great because it was so new, an unknown concept, but now its getting kind of old.

I also saw Children of Men after spectacular reviews from many people but I didn't think it was as exciting as people made it out to be. The premise was good but I didn't see anything amazing in the movie.

[entralinks]

Prestige was as disappointing as much I had hoped for the contrary. Perhaps second on my list of movies that have most disappointed me, after Troy. It was a movie for kids if I'm honest.

[Saj]

I watched the Departed the other day.

Fantastic film, really enjoyed it. I thought all the main actors were really good in it and Nicholson well he thrived in his role.

[MCMLXXXII]

Saw Little Miss Sunshine. I have to say it was very refreshing to see this movie. The comedy is not very blatant. It is like those Checkov plays sort of. But I had lots and lots of fun while watching it. Basically a dysfunctional family takes a road trip to California in an old VW van and encounter many things while getting there. Don't watch this movie if you want to laugh, you will only smile at it, but it is truly refreshing.

[161]

I really liked Blood Diamond .... will see prestige next


just saw blood diamod - what a movie !!!

powerful and entertaining at the same time- leo is an awesome actor.

easily the best movie of recent years (much better then the departed IMO)

[voodooray]

really liked 300. hardcore action movie ..... the iranians dont seem to be too flattered by the movie though !

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Watched Saw 3... brilliant!! Can't wait for Saw Iv to come out!!

[in_cutter]

300 is cr@p...just like sin city it is all about the effects. Disappointing.

[Medic]

I've heard many mixed reviews on 300. I thought the script was a bit cr@p, but overall it was a good film. Great effects. It is better than the original (The 300 Spartans). :19:

[Easa]

300 is something I am really looking forward to. Can't wait.

[Geordie Ahmed]

I recently seen Blood Diamond aswell and it was excellent

Seen Borat last night - was absolutely hilarious :))) :))) :))) :))) :)))

[HAFRIDI]

Blood Diamond was easily the best film i saw for a while

[Fawad]

blood diamond is an awesome film. the guy who played salomon vandy was terrific as was leo. can't believe it didn't get the oscar :13:

[Aurangzeb]

saw blood diamond yesterday and it was a brilliant movie...it didn't win the oscar because the academy was too busy sucking up to scorsese because it was overdue...

[HAFRIDI]

blood diamond is an awesome film. the guy who played salomon vandy was terrific as was leo. can't believe it didn't get the oscar :13:

His name is Djimon Housou

[swaziboy]

Recent ones i watched

The Sentinel - (michael Douglas)

[faisalm]

Yeah Blood Diamond was awesome. I recommend Pulp Fiction as a film to watch, it may be old but still very funny also Fight Club is brilliant.

[HAFRIDI]

Mr Bean's Holiday is out on Friday!

[Geordie Ahmed]

Mr Bean's Holiday is out on Friday!

that should be quality - Mr Bean is a legend

[waqar_ahmad]

Just watched stranger than fiction, a very interesting movie

[MCMLXXXII]

All of you must have seen The Usual Suspects for sure!


I saw 300 recently, it was good. If you want to see good action, its a good movie to watch. For the comic book fans, it was very close to the comic, but added a lot of extra stuff to make it long enough. I saw it in IMAX but didn't have such a great experience. I would have enjoyed it better in a regular theater.

[Medic]

Just watched Grindhouse the other day. OK, not grear. Well actually the 1st film 'Planet Terror' wasn't that bad, it was quite enjoyable and funny. 2nd film (dir.Tarentino) was very random. The story was all over the place. Wasnt really impressed with it.

One thing that was funny was the parody movie previews between the films. They were FUNNY!! I was laughing for a while on them.

Here is one of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka83i_e_v8M&mode=related&search= :)))

[Easa]

Anybody seen 'The number 23'? If so, how was it?

[Medic]

^ Ive watched some of it, had no desire to watch the other. Hope that answers your question :)

[shabbu1]

The number 23 is one of the worst movies i've seen this year - the only movie i almost walked out of the theatre because of ::J

[Medic]

Watched Sunshine earlier today...crap IMO. Got really boring and storyline wasnt great. Wouldn't recommend it

[Geordie Ahmed]

Just finished watching IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER - class film

[Easa]

Watched Hannibal Rising. It was crap; worst movie of all time, closely rivaled by Blood Rayne. Also watched Spiderman 3, and it was okay, nothing special.

[Big Mac]

Saw Old Boy - Its a Korean movie with english subtitles; but its a great, great movie! Must see.


THANK YOU!

Someone finally mentions Oldboy about 10 years after I first asked if anybody on here had seen it. Utterly mentalist film.

[Big Mac]

THANK YOU!

And they're going to do the obligatory Hollywood 'remake any Korean/Hong Kong/insert any other East Asian nation here film that was any good' which WILL be rubbish but everybody will get all excited about and harp on about how amazing and original it is and all that will happen is I will just get a little bit angrier and inch a little bit closer to my eventual breakdown and UK-wide killing spree.

[MCMLXXXII]

Has anyone seen Initial D? It is a Japanese drifting movie, much better than any Fast and the Furious movies. It is low on action and much bigger on story. Drifting is nice in it too. A very enjoyable movie.

While we are talking about foreign film, if it is action you want, watch District B13. A French movie with David Belle and a whole lot of Parkour! Amazing action. To find out what Parkour is read this wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour

[entralinks]

Anyone seen Nell, with Jodie Foster and Liam Neeson? Good film.

De Niro and Pacino on together...

Not bad

:))) @ 'They were 300 idiots'

[pakistani_banda]

just watched 300.
man it is one kick ass movie. nice action scenes, though the scenes of fornification (sex ) should have been ommited, and i dont think that has increased any value to the movie.
some battle scenes are really gruesome, so i suggest this movvie is not recommended for under 18 and elderly, and those who just can't see heads being cut off, and blood flying everywhere.
anyways the movie rocks.
this is my top film after kingdom of heaven.
now ive got spiderman 3 dvd to watch. :D

[Toony™®]

pirates of the carribean: worlds end...mixed reviews..even more slated than spiderman 3...

Apocalypse Now. Watched it last week; what a classic.

[Daoud]

I was meant to watch Pirates yesterday but some people werent free earlier on and some people werent free later. Might be tommorow or might be next week

[MCMLXXXII]

Apocalypse Now. Watched it last week; what a classic.

That movie is a 3 part movie I guess and each part gets more and more bizarre. I loved the first part with captain kilgore and the helicopter attacks etc. But when it got to the end, it was really really weird. This movie requires a very deep analysis. That sequence in the end with the cow sacrifice was pretty awesome direction.

[161]

i'm not gonna watch it ... i'm still so angry after watching the second one .. what a load of cow dung it was !!

[Easa]

Watched Pirates last night. Complete rubbish, a bunch of people left half way through. Thoroughly disliked it.

[waqar_ahmad]

saw shrek 3, complete trash.

[Saj]

I watched Apocolypto last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it, superb stuff from Mel Gibson.

[Daoud]

Saw Pirates 3. Wasnt as good as the previous ones. The middle was too long and kept jumping all over the place but the end was alright. They really should have sped it up in the middle and try to make it follow a bit more sense.

[Oxy]

Saw Spiderman 3 on a amazing quality DVD last night.

And I liked it.

I liked Spidy going over to the 'dark side' - a 'sadish' ending, but left with th impression that a Spiderman 4 may not be far off in the making!

For those that follow Spiderman - do the comics allow for another one

[Daoud]

Sure. So many villans that havent been used - Lizardman, Mysterio, Shocker, Rhino. Plus I feel we havent seen the last of Venom if another movie is made. Gwen Stacy is still alive too - Venom in effect kills her in the comics

[filosofee]

Saw 3rd installment of Pirates last Thursday and I felt it too long (but then I'd become aware I'd mislaid my travel pass holding some cards somewhere in the cinema complex); the first was the best.

Spidey 3: kiddy movie, wasn't that bothered with the second and not seen first.

My favourite movies this year so far have been Apocalypto and Blood Diamond.

[Oxy]

Spidey 3: kiddy movie, wasn't that bothered with the second and not seen first.


All films I have watched in the last 7-8 years are 'kiddie' movies - thats what kids do to you.

I watched it alone last night to check for bits I need to 'fast-forward'...and now I 'm going to have to sit through it again in the next 15 mins or so....

Must admit Spidey3 was time-pass, hadn't intended to see it. I saw a download copy during Lord's England vs WIs 5th day rain affected play (popped to my brother's place a few mins from Lord's Grace Gates at 12.20pm when rain had stopped play at 11.35am). Because of the rain I saw the whole movie and returned to the ground when play began after 3pm! It's an acceptable time-pass movie.

[JustAnotherFan]

I watch a lot of movies. Well latest releases in South Africa. In the last 2 weekends seen :

Fracture : Worth a see if you like Anthony Hopkins. Good drama.
Hot Fuzz : British comedy, not really my scene.
Freedom Writers : I enjoyed this one, dealing with ethnics in a USA school. Borders on gangs/racialism and how they dealt with it.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End : Too long for me. But still worth a watch if you have seen the others.

[Toony™®]

I just watched Pirates 3... went in with low expectations and came out feeling okay about it...
drags in places as JustAnotherFan said if you like the first two, you will like the third..but not as much as the first 2..

didnt like the bit with Daveys Jones Locker ..thought the place will be more colourful..

also ending points to a fourth sequel.... which Depp has said he will do if it is made...

by the way did anyone wait til the end of the credits?..apparently there was a extra scene... i was in the mood to wait around but not my mates! who wanted to hit the chicken shop for a quick burger!

[161]

I watched Apocolypto last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it, superb stuff from Mel Gibson.


wow .. stark contrast from my experience - IMO it was just extreme violence with no substance.

also i get the feeling that gibson is trying to demean non-christian civilizations.. he showed these natives in the most grotesque light as possible.

[Medic]

I didn't find it a debasement of a culture. Humanity has been inhumane throughout history, non-Christian or Christian. The movie was a wondrous roller coaster ride, fantastic photography and depiction of absolute courage on the part of the male protagonist and his wife. Their young son was so cute and brave. I loved the movie.

I see where you are coming from however; 300 was great cinema but to show the Greeks's treatment of women as equal was laughable since it is their own Aristotle who claimed "women have no souls" - and didn't they bequeath pederasty (read Pheadrus) to the world - joke! :) Plenty of anti-Iran propoganda in 300 .

Turtles Run. What a name...

Was that the English translation of the child's name? Doubtless its an honourable designation in the native language.

[Lightning]

My favorite movies are:

Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Momento
The Prestige
Shrek
The Others
The Sixth Sense
300

I highly reccomend these movies. All are creative and intelligent movies. I consider all the above, masterpieces.

[Asif khan]

Good choice lightspeedgt apart from 300 which i thought was really rubbish

Training Day was on the day. Great film, Denzel's acting in this one is classic. Highly recommend...

[Toony™®]

although, denzel won the oscar..it would of gone to russell crowe for cinderella man - if it wasn't for his misdemeanour.

[Medic]

Ifs & buts :P

[Daoud]

Dont you mean "A beautiful mind". He was outstanding in Cinderella man too, but that was released 3 or 4 years after Training Day

I didn't find it a debasement of a culture. Humanity has been inhumane throughout history, non-Christian or Christian. The movie was a wondrous roller coaster ride, fantastic photography and depiction of absolute courage on the part of the male protagonist and his wife. Their young son was so cute and brave. I loved the movie.

I see where you are coming from however; 300 was great cinema but to show the Greeks's treatment of women as equal was laughable since it is their own Aristotle who claimed "women have no souls" - and didn't they bequeath pederasty (read Pheadrus) to the world - joke! :) Plenty of anti-Iran propoganda in 300 .


i didnt get one thing in the movie. if this was a true story ( assuming it was) then how did the persians have monsters in their army, like huge trolls and all. :13:

It was based on a true story but the comic book adaptation of it. The way I see it, the story was recalled through the words of that Spartan soldier who survived. Obviously he would exaggerate what had happened, hence the giant monsters, trolls, etc

[entralinks]

Watched The Last Of The Mohicans, with Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. Loved it, especially the scene 'What are you looking at Sir?'; 'I'm looking at you Miss.'

[Medic]

Anyone seen Bullet Boy??

[entralinks]

Dead Poets Society, a fantastic film.

Anyone seen Al Pacino's 88 Minutes? Nothing that special, but you can't miss it can you.

The Untouchables is pretty fun movie, loved De Niro in it, beats a guy to death with a baseball bat. Kevin Costner and Sean Connery were great.

Severance shows british movies are improving by the year.

Watched Species, all 3, recently; alien/sci-fi/nudity fans might enjoy.

I love the untouchables. That one scene at the train station with the baby carriage rolling down the stairs that is a classic and my favourite movie scene of all time!

Agreed, that was a great scene

[MCMLXXXII]

I also saw Apocalypto and thought it was a very good movie. Would recommend it to all. Although I did not like the fact that after a solar eclipse, which can only occur when there is a new moon, they showed a full moon which is scientifically impossible! But nit picks aside, it was good.

[Toony™®]

Just Watched Next on DVD... seemed like half a film for me... doesnt explain how the bad guys are chasing the main character too...

bit flimsy for me.

[pakistani_banda]

Watched The Last Of The Mohicans, with Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. Loved it, especially the scene 'What are you looking at Sir?'; 'I'm looking at you Miss.'

i watched that movie in my school abouut 3 years ago, in my malaysian studies class :D.

Why is Jackie Chan in Blackpool?

duh... its thorpe park

wtached butterfly effect first time for 2 yrs....excellent film despite the too many twist and turns!

[Daoud]

Saw Hot Fuzz a few days ago. Funny and very enjoyable. Quite a bit better than Shaun of the Dead

[the_game]

"The Namesake" by Mira Nair. Excellent movie.

[Punter]

Pirates 3 was great non stop action

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Anyone seen Ocean's 13 yet ? If yes then how's it ?

[Jimmy two-times]

Anyone seen Ocean's 13 yet ? If yes then how's it ?

I watched it yesterday.

It is not as good as the 1st one but a lot better than the 2nd one.

Al pacino was wasted and did not get enough screen time.

It was mainly Pitt, Clooney and Damon who stood out in their roles.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Watched Rush Hour 3 - was funny BUT it wasnt long enough

[entralinks]

The Lives Of Others is a well made film. Art people might enjoy it.

Transformers and Spiderman 3 were a bit disappointing.

[12thMan]

saw The Emperor's Club and Million Dollar Baby yesterday. Both good movies. I liked the Emperor's Club more

[Plasma]

watched Heyy Babyy couple nights ago, good movie.

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

watched Heyy Babyy couple nights ago, good movie.

Yeah nice movie.

[who_dares]

Bump :yk

[12thMan]

Of the last many movies I have seen in last 3-4 months I can only recommend
All the President's men (old movie)
Apollo 13 (90s movie)
Crimson Tide (90s)
Sneakers (not boring and probably 90s)
Rounders
Italian Job

[Foozee]

Silent Hill


what a freaky @ss movie, with a gr8 soundtrack

[Muhammad]

School for Scoundrels - 1960 British version (not Billy Bob thornton one from a couple of years back)

Quality, don't make 'em like they used to.

[pun500]

carry on series ...one of the ultimate british comedies

[90MPH]

I saw Full metal Jacket a few weeks ago and thought overall it was an excellent Vietnam war film as it shows how the army could easily manipulate soldiers for war.
There are 3 other very good Vietnam based war films I would reccommend -

- Appolcalypse now (memorable action scenes and good plot),
-Platoon (Action/drama in the jungle)
-The Deer hunter (This is more drama and the psychological effects of the war, very good acting by Robert deniro)

[AZ]

The Departed
The Last Samurai
Atonement
JFK
Dumb & Dumber :D

and the best movie ever made in the history of mankind, Andaz Apna Apna

But for more serious movies look at stuff like Blood Diamond, Enemy of the State, Layercake, Goodfellas, The Good Shephard.

And I gotta admit I love the odd romcom, so stuff like Love Actually, Definately Maybe, Notting Hill, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Wedding Crashers, The Holiday.....

Will Smith's acting in the movie was his very best and overall the movie was outstanding

was it girly, Zahid? could be, didn't feel that way for me...but I must say it was one of the most well-made and touching stories I have ever seen on the silver screen

[ace_allrounder]

I dont really watch that much.

I suggest this one for the GUYS out there.:D..
*Drumroll*

Hannah Montana:The Movie :P
Best film for guys.:D

Alright,seriously speaking...
I do like "99" but I'm not sure others would like it as I have a very weird choice.
"She's the Man"..its not really new but I really liked it.;-)
I'll post more when I'll remember.

Silent Hill


what a freaky @ss movie, with a gr8 soundtrack

I agree.And the soundtrack was great too!:D

[Sheikh]

Saw The Prestige again (like the third time) last night, and it really is a brilliant flick. Probably Jackman's best role to date.

[Disco_Lemonade]

Trainspotting

Meet Joe Black

The Illusionist

Legends of Fall

The Prestige

V for Vendetta

Groundhog Day

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[AZ]

Illusionist >>>>> Prestige

also another must-watch is American History X

[Sheikh]

No way is The Illusionist better, it's just a silly little love story in the end. The Prestige is just gut-wrenching, and brilliant.

[AZ]

disagree, over-complicated plot, you could see halfway through the movie that Bale's engineer was actually his brother

[Sheikh]

Brother? He was his clone mate. As opposed to Jackman who murdered his clone several times over.

[AZ]

brother, clone, same difference...the 'science' of it really turned me off.

[Foozee]

Prestige all the way....

Christian Bale , Hugh Jackman... great rivalry in that movie, eventhough im a fan of Ed Norton too..

Prestige story jus better, and better cast with michael caimen too, oh ya chris nolan..only the best director in the world atm.. :P nuff said

[Disco_Lemonade]

Brother? He was his clone mate. As opposed to Jackman who murdered his clone several times over.
ya that was Bale's trick, his natural clone.

Although it was a little confusing as to who Jackman killed after every performance, his clone or himself?

few movies that i missed were (now edited in original post)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[Juggernaut]

I probably wouldn't recommend it but I just finished watching 'Dog Day Afternoon'. Sorry, couldn't find the 'last movie you watched' thread.

Decent movie. I probably would have liked it better if I had watched it in 1975.

I watched it for Pacino and I gotta say that he doesn't dissapoint. Maybe I was just getting emotional but there were a few scene's where I literally clapped for him.

You have to see the movie to know what I'm talking about but I didn't know Pacino was that good.

[12thMan]

Dog Day afternoon was good movie. I will recommend it over many other movies. Yes things change (production/technology wise) as years go on and I will say that was still a good movie. Just last month I saw "All the President's men" and that is also from 70s (I think) and it is good and better than many movies coming out.

Some other old Pacino movies which are good

Justice For all
Serpico

I'm planning to watch Serpico next. And then maybe 'Heat'.

Well there you go. I haven't seen Heat which is crazy because its got Pacino and De Niro in it.

[12thMan]

I haven't seen Heat which is crazy because its got Pacino and De Niro in itThe first movie they two were together face to face. Strange as they were first in Godfather 2 (early 70s) but not face to face (I think) and not in same movie again. They did make another movie a year ago I think called Righteous Kill and that was average.

Between Serpico and Justice For all - I prefered "Justice for all" but then opinions change when you watch it and sometimes you watch it again later movie looks different

Righteous Kill :)) horrendous film

Heat was a stunning film, absolute must watch...Pacino is in a lot fewer scenes but he was just superb.

I've seen 'Righteous Kill' and its utter garbage.

Godfather is obviously a classic. I even liked the third one. I dunno why people hated it so much.

Heat a must watch to see 2 legends face to face, 3rd godfather stank

[The Godfather]

i watched bits of the godfather 3 but could not get into it like the other two.

Must see films are Godfather 1 and 2 and Goodfellas they are classics

You guessed it. Any movie of Amir after "Hum hain rahi pyar ke" is my favorite. Except "Mela" where he was promoting his brother.

Ghajini was great, but if I have to suggest some one then the ones I listed are better. Also I hardly recomment any action movies to anyone :P

[Zaz]

Any1 seen the trueman show?

Brilliant film

[Zaz]

Just seen pans labyrinth

Loved it prob up there with one of the best films ive ever seen

Anybody else seen it?

I will watch both. On my list now. Pan's Lab has been on my list for a long time but never got to it. Will report back later. I am falling behind on movies/music/art...and a lot of other things. So much to do and experience...but so little time :(

[12thMan]

Trueman Show a good movie - Jim Carrey's best probably. He is better in serious or dramatic ones. There is Eternal Sunshine of Spotless mind. His best comedy people can debate was "dumb and dumber" or "Pet Ventura: Pet detective". He made the Pet Dectective (and I don't mean created it but his presence made the first one popular and maybe him other than TV's In Living Color) and Dumb and dumber was maybe funnier

[shah_1]
