Patrycja Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) So as a distraction I went to see "Transformers" today. What a shitty movie. Note to self: no Michael Bay movies. Baaaad. Edited June 29, 2009 by Patrycja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Just saw Away We Go. This movie had some impressive bonding scenes between the two main characters as they travelled across North America. It's a film about best friends and true love with comedic and adventurous moments, as well as some on location scenery.

You think it's worth seeing on the big screen or wait until dvd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great way to stay cool on a hot afternoon. I think it was worth seeing it on the big screen first, partly because of the cinematography in Arizona and Florida.

Fan_S. Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I saw Chéri this afternoon--very good, nice period piece. It stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend & Kathy Bates. --------------------**--------------------- Edited July 12, 2009 by Fan_S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy5151 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Ice Age 3D: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Very good movie. Better than Ice Age 2. This is the first 3D movie I have seen since I was a kid. Wow what a difference the 3D technology is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I recently saw the 1927 Masterpiece "THE GENERAL" with the great train chase. It's obvious that the art of fliming was perfected even before the talkies got good. Buster Keaton is fabulous in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyq Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 AngeLs & Demons= NOWHERE near the book- geez, just Like Da Vinci Code. that's exactLy what happened to harry potter - good books' movies have to suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceNRG Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Saw Public Enemies last night--_AWESOME!! Superb acting, by the as-always brilliant Mr. Johhny Depp, but Christian Bale was equally brilliant!!!! Really liked this movie--go see it!!

Reggie29 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. Very close to the book. Loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Saw Public Enemies...I don't know, it just didn't grab me all that much. The editing and shaky-cam kinda killed it, in my opinion. Everything was just kinda set at a slow burn the whole way through; it wasn't exactly boring, but there were no crescendos in tension or excitement at all, which is crazy for a movie that has multiple prison breaks and shootouts. And usually that fast-cut editing jazz at least makes things seem more exciting, if harder to follow, but this just made it seem like a jumbled-up dream. Weird. Oh well, it's at least worth seeing and deciding for yourself whether you like it or not - it's not THAT bad. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale were indeed great, especially considering the lack of character development in the script. Loved the scene where Johnny's talking to Christian in the jail cell.

lzfan715 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I saw Harry Potter and The Hal Blood Prince. The parts that were in the movie were all right on with the book but I thought they left a lot of important things out that they could've put in there.

spats Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I saw The Proposal (was talked into that one) and Transformers. Both were bad. The only good thing about Transformers was Megan Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Finally saw 'The World's Fastest Indian' with Anthony Hopkins. The scenes at the Bonneville salt flats brought back some good memories from when I rode my bike there. I still can't believe he got that 1920 Indian to go over 200 mph. His records still stand from the 60's for under 1,000cc bikes. I loved the scenes from New Zealand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parts that were in the movie were all right on with the book but I thought they left a lot of important things out that they could've put in there. Oh no, not again! That's what I didn't like about the 3rd movie...overall it was my favorite, but it irked me that they left some things out that would've helped explain the story a lot. Can't wait to see this one, though...I'm a lot more excited about this movie than the last two, even though Phoenix was my favorite book. I think I'm having Potter withdrawal now that there aren't any more books coming out, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sad that they left out so much of the Hermione and Ron it was one of my favourite parts. That could just be because I love Ron though. I am rereading the books. I think ti's a great series.

brspled Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Les temps de venir with Juliette Binoche. I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Saw HP6. Braved it with a bunch of summer camp kids in the theatre, who were actually quite well behaved all things considering. Anyway, is it me or was it just a bit flat? They hit all the important plot points but it wasn't as exciting as the book (leeway added for unfair comparison, as adaptations are tricky). The ending was sad, but in the book it's impact hit me a lot harder. But I've had a hard time feeling much of anything lately, so maybe it's me. So far it's my least favourite movie of the series.

aen27 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just watched Anotononi's Red Desert for the first time. I loved it. I love Monica Vitti anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well, after seeing it again, I take back a lot of what I said (but not all). It's quite a bit better than than I first thought (I can't believe how much i missed the first time around...weird) but still, it would've been great had they done more with wither Dumbledore's search for the horcruxes or with Harry's search for the ID of the Half-Blood Prince (why he called himself that, etc.). Mayeb they'll somehow include it in parts 7A&B?? It focused a bit too much on the blossoming and shifting romantic relationships and not enough on the other things I mentioned. It seems it would not make much sense to people who've not read the books. I don't really get why they changed parts leading up to the ending, either. Anyway, point is, I liked it much better the second go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I just saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was very entertaining, and it was a relief from the 90 degree heat to be inside a cool theatre.

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today, also. I did enjoy it. As usual, it was a little long and omitted some interesting bits of the book. The teenage love angst angle was a bit overplayed, but I think that it made it seem more real-to-life. There were a few little ones in the audience and they were frightened by certain parts of the movie. I thought that the Dumbledore ending could have been portrayed with a little more emotion. Overall rating: 7.5 out of 10, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's A Legend Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The new Harry Potter-I cried when everyone raised their wands! I didn't cry as much as when I read the book, there are still tear stains from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Saw ""Public Enemies" tonight. After reading some lukewarm reviews, it was better than I expected. But that's life - managing expectations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
