Speed Racer (2008)

Watched this on HD yesterday and have to say, eye candy. PURE EYE CANDY!!

The first 15 minutes GENIUS and the ending GENIUS x 2.

The practical and effect shots for this movie is SO seemless, it DEFIES reason

Unfortunately, not many person GOT the movie, which means it was NOT a Box Office success.

If Warner decides put a good Lossless audio on the Special Edition BD for this movie, I'll be first in line to get it

4 posts in a row, lol.

Yeah I like Speed Racer too.

The Road - Overall a good movie with a few (too few) great scenes.

I watched all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I only planned to watch the first, but after that ended I couldn't bring myself to not watch the remaining two. I'm not ashamed to say this has become one of my favourite trilogies. The movie get progressively worse, but that's only because the first is utterly brilliant, the second is great, and the third "merely" very good. I cant think of any modern series that has such a great sense of fun, and some terrific action sequences to boot. I think many people lost interest in the second movie because it just seemed so unfocused. But I think, having watched it like 10 times now, it simply has a total disregard for set rules. It doesnt care that this particular scene doesn't further the plot, all it wants is some... no, A LOT OF GODDAMN FUN AND MADNESS. f*** the plot, I dont give a shit, it says. This is Jack Sparrow, he's mad, why should the movie be different? Which is why the third movie is easily the worst, what with its convulated plot, double backstabbings, triple backstabbings. Still, it preserves the fun, and the last hour is pure epic spectacle. Oh, and all three are hilarious. Seriously, each movie has at least two jokes that make me howl with laughter.

Cant bloody wait for POTC 4. The worry is that Rob Marshall wont be up to the task. I want Verbinski back!

The Wolfman (2009)

I really wanted to see this after I caught wind of it.

Alas, when it was release in the theater, reviews were poor.

It is recently release on BD, and I was able to watch it on HD yesterday.

I regret not watching this in the cinema!

It started out slow, but when it pickup, it is practically rip roaring!!

Initially, I had the opinion that Benicio Del Toro was a little "aged" to play the role of Lawrence Talbot.

Thinking back, all the previous iterations of Lawrence Talbot, they were "innocent" but not young.

Anthony Hopkins had played many sick in the head roles (Hannibal in Silence of the Lamb, Ted Crawford in Fractured, Ted Brautigan in Hearts of Atlantis, Van Helsing in Dracula) previously but this take the cake.

I also love that they went back to the classic look of werewolf (doggie nose look). This gives the actors more room to express emotion facially speaking.

I recommend this to lovers of werewolf, or lycanthrophy if you MUST be scientific!!

>4 posts in a row, lol.

Yeah, so, you want to make something of it!!

>Yeah I like Speed Racer too.

At least you have good taste!

I wanna watch The Road too, but haven't got it yet...

Sorry, didn't care much for POTC 2 and 3.

Did you get to watched the unrated version of the Wolfman, gives new meaning to the word, BLOODY!!

Enjoy your holiday!

Long Live the King!!

damn millennium movie. last week i bought 'heat' blu ray starring alpacino and de niro. the downtown chaos' scene was freaking me out. 90's movies is the best ever

Yeah mine was the unrated one. The gore was yummy.

What difference does the unrated one and theatrical one has?

More GORE definitely!!

rumble fish - heartthrobs ahoy! 80's b&w teenage rebellion flick by francis ford coppola starring Mickey "damn i'm sexy" Rourke, Matt "i'm just gonna be like my badass bro (the rourke)" Dillion, Dennis "i might be a drunk but i don't eff with my kids" Hopper, Tom "i provide the quirks" Waits, nik "screw you if u say i got this part because of my uncle" cage, chris "i used to be better looking then my bro" penn, and diane "i can't believe she's that effin hot" lane.

alice in wonderland.
watch wif frens after spm results came out.
recently i watch braveheart directed by mel gibson(dvd-1995).
very nice story, cried at the last scene.

Killer (2010)

Ah, Robert Luketic, the more things change, the more things remain the same.

Having made a name for himself in the RomCom Legally Blond, he had stuck to the "blond" formula for his action RomCom The Killer (or Five Killer if you are in the States)

The movie started well, nicely paced action, enough lovely dovey to give you tooth decay, then the "3 years" later happen, which was still involving, and half way thru the second act, the director "lost" me, and I kinda guessed the end.

The last act, I prayed, and prayed for "my" ending to NOT happen... and it did....

Maybe the leads are to blame

Ashton Kutcher (who for some odd reason, always reminds be of Kelso from The 70s Show, oh wait...) and his Abercombe and Finch James Bond and Katherine Heigl "I'm a neurotic geek, and oh, by the way, am I beautiful?" who tries her best to be a young version of Sandra Bullock and didn't quite deliver

The story is WAY TOO predictable

If you like action RomCom and doesn't mind watching your movie half way thru, this movie is DEFINITELY for you

reviving this thread..

just rewatched Star Wars IV last night, and Star Wars III few days ago.. 1997 Special Edition.

this film was made on my birthyear. what an imagination they had and im amazed..

but i still cant distinguish the scenes they added in Special Edition released.. i watched the originals back in my teen days, forgot already..

will follow up with sequels later..

first time watching Good Will Hunting last night..very late indeed, but hey, can't u blame me? i was darjah 3 when it came out..

i understand this movie is popular and all, even got high rate in imdb.. but i didn't find anything special about it..matter of fact, i struggle to keep watching after like 20 minutes.. haaiiish..

i love that movie mate.. watched it several times, 6-8 times maybe.. its quiet slow, but beautifully painted movie..

i always imagining im that Damon bloke.. talented in study but failure in life. (though im not that genius, but not really failed in my life )

idk..i find the story..mengada-ngada.. u got this pretty boy konon have hard life, but actually very decent and genius, though treated bad in life, deserve better, diamond in the rough stuff.. like an ultimate dream character in dream life situation or something..

of course i understand u imagining being tat guy, in fact i think he's the directors/writers dream self..

The Bounty Hunter...Sucks for me

One of the best comedy i've seen this year. It's been a pretty dull year for comedy for me but this is just a must watch. The black guy (Craig Robinson )from The Office is hilarious while the nerd is well, nerdy.

Thanks for the recommendation..gonna watch this next...hope it wont be like Bounty Hunter

at the poster, quoted 'Funnier than The Hangover' by New York Post..

i like The Hangover, might give a shot for this film..

Nice movie !! i like the shooting scene after they rob the bank...the scene look so real !!

Added on July 7, 2010, 6:21 pmLast weekend i watch The Bourne Trilogy (all 3 movies)..
