QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Dec 31 2007, 04:12 PM) Just watched Hairspray and Eastern Promises. Liked the songs in Hairspray, brought back memories of Grease to a certain extent. Though I am a bit disappointed not to see Travolta singing more but then, he was more of a dancer than singer. Not bad but Christopher Walken? You ought to be kidding. Eastern Promises - man, this is fecking awesome. The cutting throat scene was brilliant  Loved the movie but surprised to see how beautiful Naomi Watts is  And Virgo Mortenssen's the MAN!!!! He looks like Dolph Lungdren [the guy from Univeral Soldier and one of the Rocky films]. Great acting from him and the dude that plays the brother. Why are you so surprised? She's been so hot all the while

Atonement was awesome, what a movie to end the year. It's not for everyone though. It's slow and dreary for some, but I loved it. It was detail, great storytelling and a brilliant performances from the cast. Keira was just ok but McAvoy I think it's definitely one of the good movies this year. Worthy of an Oscar nomination but maybe not there yet to win it. It's really a great movie IMO, but I really have to warn - it's not for everyone.

Just watched No country for old men and it's a real masterpiece. The Coens did it again, rendering another brilliant film. It's a film like no other, a thriller that is quiet, atmospheric, still and well focused and hardly or no score at all, (United 93 being the only film with minimal score I've seen) but yet so rich in context, superbly written screenplay and no wonder the brothers wanted to get Javier Bardem to act in this film, he was great portraying a cold, ominous killer.
It's not surprising why the critics love this film so much, it's one of a kind.

The Kite Runner. It's been awhile since I last watch a movie like this - pure, honest, emotional and heartbreaking. Another great effort by Marc Foster, 4/5 from me.

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jan 9 2008, 11:51 PM) predator watching this show and the recent alien during the AvP period really makes AvP look far worse then it is, the original predator was far more menacing and deadly compared to the cheap pussified versions we get today. the first time in the movie we see how the predator treats its prey is still as memorable. although there are some wtf moments and certain sub par acting but the acting and things aint as horrid as AvP, like Mac who went on a berserker rampage. his face was far more convincing that what anyone put up in the whole AvP series. and the tension is great, the feeling of being stalked was there all along. its very sad that movies these days with all the top notch tech and budget cant beat a show that was created in a B movie sense with limited tech. 7.5/10 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.

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

QUOTE(quarantined @ Jan 17 2008, 09:51 AM) 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.

QUOTE(quarantined @ Jan 18 2008, 12:43 AM) 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.

Juno. Really good, Ellen Page is  what a great actress she is btw. the music is great, so is the screenplay and the supporting cast were up there with Page. Such an emotional movie.

I love holidays, watched many movies today  One of the movies that I managed to catch today was James Cameron's The Abyss, what an amazing movie. Can't believe I left the DVD unwatched after almost a year buying it. Seriously I would put this film on par with Aliens, probably better. There's no monster but in Cameron style, it deals with tense human emotions coupled with some great suspense. And Ed Harris is such a great actor, he was brilliant in this one. It's visually stunning and definitely one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. This post has been edited by Makakeke: Jan 24 2008, 12:08 AM

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Jan 24 2008, 12:10 AM) Harris is a great actor but Abyss was a decent with with good visuals. Nothing more if you ask me and Makakeke, please make the transaction happen!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Abyss is so under-rated if you ask me. It was brilliant bcz Cameron created a suspenseful film without the horror factor of aliens/monster whatsoever. Sunshine was close to that but failed in the final third. 2001 still sets the bar for a film of this genre. Yes, it will happen tomorrow, no worries. Just call if anything This post has been edited by Makakeke: Jan 24 2008, 12:16 AM

The Great Debaters, directed by Denzel Washington and it was good. I know "inspiring" movies like this are a tad too familiar but the ending scene was really powerful, I was an inch close to stand up and applaud it This post has been edited by Makakeke: Feb 17 2008, 08:21 PM

Lars And The Real Girl, a heart warming story about Lars Lindstrom (Ryan Gosling) who brings home the girl of his dreams. The only problem is that she's not real - she's a sex doll Lars ordered off the Internet. The movie moves on with the people around him labelling him a maniac/psychopath but they slowly transformed into a community who loved and cared about the sex doll.
Good movie I have to say, very under-rated and another good performance by Gosling.

Paris, je t'aime, which means "Paris, I love you", currently showing in GSC midvalley and I liked it. It's a fantastic film with 15-20 short stories directed and written by some of the greatest names in the film industry, the Coen brothers are one of them. It also stars Natalie Portman, Steve Buscemi, and Elijah "Frodo" Wood, just one of the few hundreds who acted in this movie.
Very interesting approach to a film and ingenious. The first hour, it felt weird watching a movie of this genre but as the minute passed, I wanted more, and more short stories. Very beautifully written and the last story really summed up a beautiful movie, making me to fall in love with Paris.
4/5
