Mrs. Plant Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Saw Indy 4 last night, such a disappointment. I thought it wouldn't be too good, but I didn't expect it to be quite that bad. The first half had promise, then as soon as they introduce that damn alien skull, it was all downhill. The three waterfalls, the swinging with monkeys, the alien plotline all together=TOTAL SUCKFEST. My boyfriend paid, so I didn't lose any money, but I demand Lucas and Speilberg give me back that 2 1/2 hours of my life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Virginia Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Aw, my son and I liked Indiana Jones. That new movie with Will Smith that's coming out next month looks good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spats Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I was talked into going to Indian Jones. It wasn't horrible. But some of the action scenes were just too unrealistic. If things get too unrealistic it just takes you out of the movie. Some people in the crowd were going "oh come on" because it got to be too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigstickbonzo Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) the swinging with monkeys, That's where I lost it in the theatre. I couldn't stop laughing because it was that bad. But the first half of the movie was classic Indy. But it does seem like Spielberg and Lucas just went with the "Close Encounters" thing and really dropped a turd on the franchise. The best part of the movie was seeing Ford do his thing, which he can still do at 65. But "Last Crusade" is still the superior closer to the series. And there's talks of another Indy movie...oye. Edited to Add: My personal belief is Spielberg has gone incredibly soft with creativity within the past decade. He still makes solid and sometimes spectacular films, but his overrall creative edge that once captivated movie goers and made you appreciate the filmmaker as someone more than just another movie director has been lost...somewhere between the gazillions of dollars he has and the Dreamworks gig. I think its just a comfort level thing, whereas when he was young with no money, there was no comfort level and he had to be very creative.

Gainsbarre Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I really recommend you go and see The Orphanage, it's a Spanish horror movie, sort of...It's not a blood-and-guts horror movie, more like The Shining and The Others... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gainsbarre Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Agreed, I loved it. Actually, the more I think about it, the more amazing it was...so many unanswered questions in that film... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmie ray Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I've been watching the orginal "Ocean's 11" and can't get Sammy Davis Jr. singing out of my head "Eee-O-11" Sammy ruled the world in "Porgy and Bess". Why the F ain't that one aired any more? "It ain't necessarily so..." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aen27 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sammy ruled the world in "Porgy and Bess". Why the F ain't that one aired any more? "It ain't necessarily so..." I would love that to come out on DVD. I have always wanted to see that. Dorothy Danridge is supposed to be awesome in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmie ray Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'll bet some say it's racist. No, it's reality. It's so real, you can taste the dirt in the streets. Poor crippled Porgy gets around by having a goat pulling him on a dolly. Some parts are uplifting, and other parts are damn scary. When they bring an accused murderer to view his dead victim, the people out in the street said "If his eyes bleed, he's guilty". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spats Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". it was pretty funny. Although it's one of these Seth rogen type movies where the lead guy is very average looking, goofy, a slob, out of shape, and yet he is banging pretty women. This doesn't happen in real life unless the guy is rich. It is a funny movie though. Good time waster. Me and my buddies were laughing harder than we have laughed at a movie in awhile.

You laughed in it? I thought it was such a yawn... The funniest movie I ever saw was Borat. It's the only film where I have actually, literally, fallen off my chair with laughter.

Mrs. Plant Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Parts of Forgetting Sarah Marshall were okay. But I thought it was completely overrated. Nothing I'd see again, that's for certain. I want to see The Strangers. Doesn't have the best reviews, but I'm curious anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

redrum Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 The Enemy Below (Robert Mitchum & Curt Jergens) Blood And Sand (The silent films are awesome) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Footsteps of Dawn Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 ^ Was Blood and Sand on TV? I've been wanting to see that and The Sheik for a while now. I watched Touchez pas au Grisbi today. It's a French gangster film from 1954 with Jean Gabin in it. He's so cool. We watched Pépé le Moko in my French class a couple of months ago (it's a really good movie, too), and I got hooked. He's got the same sort of quiet-but-dangerous demeanor as Robert De Niro, but with more charm. Now I really want to see La Grande Illusion - Gabin with Jean Renoir directing, there's a pair for you!

redrum Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 ^ Was Blood and Sand on TV? I've been wanting to see that and The Sheik for a while now. No, I got it at our library on DVD. Lots of extras too and his funeral was amazing with all the people. But the film was great with great music and the sepia tone is a nice touch. I watched Touchez pas au Grisbi today. It's a French gangster film from 1954 with Jean Gabin in it. He's so cool. We watched Pépé le Moko in my French class a couple of months ago (it's a really good movie, too), and I got hooked.

I think I prefer foreign films over most of the junk from Hollywood these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aquamarine Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I saw Indiana Jones while in the UK (first movie I'd actually seen in a cinema for about a year), and although I didn't think it was as good as the previous ones in the series, the fact that Harrison Ford was 65 and still kicking major ass gave me the warm fuzzies.

Deezer Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm biding my time until the Dark Knight. It will be the biggest movie this summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alwizard03 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just got back from seeing Indiana Jones pretty good . I really enjoyed it hope they make another one quick before Harrison cant do it and I dont think it will be long before that time is here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Plant Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I saw The Happening earlier. Weird as hell. Tell me more! Is it as bad as the reviews say? Im interested in seeing it, out of sheer curiosity, but not sure I want to spend 12 bucks to do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
