Let's Talk About Movies (Part 2)

Well the previous one was started by VB, and now lets begin a new chapter.

The last two I saw was IronMan and Beowulf (CG)

Well I just watched Beowulf for the likeness of Angelina Jolie, and to go amazed with the graphic work...

But I think IronMan Rocks!

Really? I saw Ironman two weeks ago, and I can't say I liked it that much. I mean it was a nice movie, but nothing really special.

Beowulf is on my list...

after I watched Spiderman I have enough from Marvel for the next weeks ;)

check also Planet Terror if you like some blood

Yeah, I liked IronMan since I also liked the comics, but I hate Robert Downey in it...

i havent seen iron man yet, only indiana jones 4.

I heard the old Indiana Jones are a lot better... But I haven't seen it personally...

I've seen the new Indiana Jones film and I have to say the old films were much better.


Beowulf was very cool with the graphics, as well as Angelina, I noticed that Anthony Hopkins and Ray Winstone's characters also looked pretty much spot on.

Just saw Iron man. . nah!It's good. . hope to see the movie of Angelina Jolie,"wanted". .

The last movie I saw was Indy Jone 4, and I was severely disappointed.

Yeah Indy new sequel pretty much doesn't live up to the previous ones... Now I'm waiting for the Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk...

Just last Sunday, my business partner and his wife took me to see The Dark Knight in an IMAX theater.  I have never been to one of those before, but now I wish I haven't.  Reason being it was literally the best theater experience I have ever been a part of; not to mention the fact that the movie was full of twists and turns.  It was a really entertaining 2.5 hours!

I don't like it too. It didn't amaze me with admiration.

I saw nothing special there. what a bore it is!

Just watched Hellboy 2 The Golden Army, I think it's a little hodge-podge, not really solid on the storyline... Although I still like the slight humor on the conversations...

Dark Knight was  nice , though I suppose everyone by now knows it . I actually watched the first movie after watching it . 

I'M BATMAN! - in his low, fake voice!

Last weekend I saw the movie Choke.  It was written by Chuck Palahniuk (the same guy who wrote Fight Club).  I must say:  If you have seen Fight Club, you must suspend the fact that you saw this movie before going to see Choke.  Reason why I'm saying it stems from comparing that movie to this one when I went to see it.  Mind you, I did read the novel when it came out and there were various parts that weren't in the move.  The movie itself, however, adapted the book pretty well despite the fact that it's no Fight Club.  It has a few twists that really bring the pic together.  It has funny moments in it as well, so keep that in mind if you have a sick sense of humor. 

at first i was taken aback to learn robert downey jr. was playing tony stark, but after watching it, i thought he portrayed it pretty good, nothing earth shattering but it was alright...

Everyone I know really enjoyed the Dark Knight. The last good movie I saw was Burn After Reading, by the Coen brothers. But to be honest, I didn't like the ending too much.

Well if we're going to talk about movies. My favorite movie of all time is probably Lord of the Rings the Trilogy, The Harry Potter Series, Finding Forrester, Forrest Gump, what else? Can't name them. Oh, the Sound of Music. Hehehe

Well the current one I'm looking forward to is the WatchMen... Oh and the one I talked about in my Blog which is X-Men Chronicles: Wolverine

Watchmen does look pretty good, but I'd like to read the comics before watching the movie.

I recently saw the movie, Chicago 10, which was a really good hybrid documentary-animated film about the anti-war riots in Chicago in 1968. I recommend this film to anyone interested in learning more about that time period. The film highlights specifically the court case that followed the riots and does so in a very engaging way.

I have a tendency only to go to the theater to view a movie in first run when @ least the majority of this  small list of criteria are met:

1.  Read the book and loved it
2.  The marketing blitz for the movie blows me away (advertising, trailers, previews, etc.)
3.  Part of a sequel to which I enjoyed the prior movies (James Bond, Back to the Future, etc.)
4.  I love the actor to the point that I may actually suspend the fact that this might be a "pay the bills" movie (a.k.a. horrid script, but he/she did it because they were offered an obscene amount of money)
5.  If the director attached to the particular movie AND the musicians attached to the soundtrack have my utmost respect (EX:  Gladiator - Riddley Scott was the director; Lisa Gerrard did the soundtrack)

The only factor that trumps my list is this: 
- When I get out-voted when I'm in a small or large group of people

OK, knowing that, the last movie I actually went to see was The Changeling with Angelina Jolie.  This movie broke my heart into a million pieces.  I just think this movie should be seen.  Period.

As far as upcoming movies, who's going to see Twilight?  I've read the book and it had my interest throughout the whole thing.  I'm just curious how the relationship between Edward and Bella are going to be portrayed on-screen.  Hopefully, "Cedric" will pull off the role.
