Funny, i also re-watched predator yesterday night. was kinda bored at home and i wanted something fun, predator was ok, inferior to alien/aliens but definitely better than the avp garbage.

I liked Predator 2 more than 1 and similarly I thought Cameron did 2 better than Scott with Alien.


BTW, Alien Resurrection started all the garbage. 3 was tolerable.

Predator 2 was pretty rubbish to me while Alien and Aliens are pretty different movies.

Action nut here so 2 was heaven.

predator with arnie kicks serious balls

Gone Baby Gone, fantastic movie. Ben Affleck has some serious talent in directing.

perfume. has a good story at first, but the ending is not. sex orgy?

just watch national treasure 2 yesterday..such a boring movie because it was too easy to find the treasure compare to national treasure 1..aiyark

aliens

ok im watching all these old shows, they show it on astro and i somehow manage to catch them. its funny astro shows all the older shows of the ones in the cinema but the older ones make us grind the new ones into pulp

take aliens for example, a genre change. no more tension or suspense like the first but hell its super. cameron uses the motion sensor to its fullest and it creates one of the best sci fi moments ive ever seen, like ripley and co being trapped in the control tower which was pure class.

funny that movies like this with limited effects can draw the emotions from us, the beeping of the motion sensor as the aliens get closer that really pumps you up. or my fav the air duct scene, which is used in both 1 and 2. scary, and suspenseful the first, thrilling and action packed the second

i guess its down to the directors, and well we all know who is at the helm of both movies. legends considered by most that live today, the people who brought us classics like the terminator series, titanic, blade runner and so on.

8.5/10

Woo.. I've been looking forward to see Gone Baby Gone since last year. Big fan of Lehane's novel.

Anyway I've seen 'The Man From Earth', 'Once' and 'Superbad' recently. Love that guy from Arrested Development but kind of sick of all the d*** jokes after awhile. 'Once' is a fantastic movie about a street performer/songwriter/vacuum cleaner repairman meets a gal on the street, chemistry clicked when both playing together for the first time, writing music together, while learning more of each other as friendships grow. Watching 'The Man From Earth' is a new experience for me, I never thought a one-and-a-half hour movie with its characters continuously talking to each other on the same place can be this interesting.

Gone Baby Gone is fantastic, probably because Ben directed it

Once is really good. I liked it instantly after 10 minutes, you should watch Before Sunrise/Sunset too, almost the same concept, just without the music theme.

cloverfield
bout 10 mins ago. this internet cafe chair is the best chair i ever sat. I FEEL LIKE VOMITING!

ARRRRRWWW

I have been wanting to watch this..Since you said it's good, then I better watch it soon..

Also, I just watched Die hard 4 but I like die hard 3 better..anyway Maggie Q looks great in it..

cloverfield=cloverFAIL?
Watched it yesterday, make me dizzy and like want to vomit la...
The story consider ok, but the way it show to us is "over" profesional, dun know how to enjoy it...
Conclusion: very tired after watching this movie =.=

I guess Cloverfield is not for everyone else then, i thought it was brilliant. Good movie.

I gotta say at first I was disappointed after knowing that he was going to direct the film. But after the reviews was out, I was thinking, "hmm.. this guy is not so bad after all.."

I watched Once mostly because of the musical theme, usually not into love stories, but your recommendations kind of got me interested. A love story sequel in 10 years starring the same lead actors? That doesn't come often.. Will check them out thanks!

Hmm, that statement just made me worry that you might not like my suggestions now Before Sun's are very dialogue-ish, it's not a music movie.

Jaws 2 - A guilty pleasure. Not a patch on the original of course, but Schieder is awesome to watch and for my money, Williams outdoes himself with this score. Not quite as action packed as genre sequels go, with the first half mostly a character drama on Brody and the second half a teen slasher flick with a big shark. Still, good dumb fun.

Burga - who thinks the two Jaws end credits are some of Williams' most beautiful music

i am legend is boring!!!

unrest is the stupid movie!!
