Movies (strange or favorite or worst)

[Sugarman (hal)]

what did you see at the movies (DVD or theater) lately?
strange or favorite or worst

Strange=Cloverfield

all shot in Cinema Verdi

Out of five ***** I gave it **

[Greenthorn]

I know I'm going to hear crap for this but...

Worst: 30 Days of Night

The acting was so horrible and cliche..although the vampires were done fairly well..didn't bother to sit through the entire movie..it just kept draggggggging

Ya... how'd they get there and how where they going to leave?

[Greenthorn]

Ya... how'd they get there and how where they going to leave?

And why did we need to know all the details of the main couple..and constant reminder of their past?  Boring!

[Moondazed]

I love the movie Elizabethtown :)  It's quirky and I really enjoyed it.

[WyldRanger]

My favorite movie of all time is still "Contact" with Jodie Foster adapted from the book by Carl Sagan, one of my childhood idols I suppose you might say  :)

[Elandra]

Worst: 30 Days of Night

I agree wholeheartedly with Greenie here, though I also felt compelled to watch it to the end.

Strange: Untraceable

The idea is a serial killer sets up his victim on a webcam, the more hits he gets, the faster the death. It is very gory, the spookiness is that it is plausible.

[Sherona]

Favorite-Fracture


One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Anthony Hopkins plays a man who kills his cheating wife. Its known he killed her, he even confessed to it to the arresting officer. The DA thinks its a slam dunk case (which is what Hopkins character wants him to think) but after a series of twists and REALLY Maniacal twists that causes the DA's case to fall throguh (of course thanks to Hopkins genius character) its just...wow.

[RubySlippers]

Favorite Movie Ever: Queen Christina, besides excellent acting it came out one year before the Hollywood Moral Board and had the FIRST lesbian kiss in a mainstream talky. And had the impeccible Greta Garbo in the lead role. Close runners up I would add Dangerous Beauty, Frida and The Hunger.

Strangest Movie Ever: Angel Above, Devil Below, this gem which I own had a hot young woman that was barely legal who had the devil possess her pussy and it TALKED and fucked alot, the kind of porn you don't see in the US anymore.

Worst Movie Ever: The entire Star Wars Episodes I-III Trilogy save for Yodas fighting scenes the acting was substandard, the special effects far too computer heavy and the ships looked fake. And the Jedi Fighting scenes save the ones with Yoda were not choreographed very well. If I HAD to choose one of these utterly horrid films I would say the Phantom Menace just because of Jar Jar the stupidest character ever created in the Star Wars Universe.

[Greenthorn]

Strangest movie: Feed (not entirely strange but not mainstream)

Favorite: Exorcist (still the only movie that scares the crap out of me)






(I realize I could probably post here almost every hour....*restrains self*)

[Maeven]

Ok... it's not my favorite- I'll have to really think about that before posting- BUT, I saw Sex and the City the movie last night and it was really, really great. It, honestly, could not have been better in my opinion.

Obviously, its something women want to take their girlfriends to... though there were some pitiful looking men who'd been dragged there by their significant others; I'm pretty sure they pretended not to laugh at the really funny parts.  *giggles*

[Cherri Tart]

I love the movie Elizabethtown :)  It's quirky and I really enjoyed it.

i loved the idea of it... my only issue, was that the first half of the movie, all the music sort of got in the way, making it seem a little like a music video - it sort of pulled me out of the story a little too much... that said, the whole car trip back with the 'tour book & CD' that Kirsten Dunst created was wonderful and inventive and i've always wanted to do something like that.

[Seara]

I saw Sex and the City on Friday, finished up the loose ends in the series quite nicely! if you liked the show it is a must see.

[Sherona]

Ok I dont know what this movie would be, its not my favorite but I do happen to think that anyone over the age of 18 who wants to sign into the Internet should be forced to watch.

Its called Hard Candy, its not a well known film, nor a well known actors in it but oh my god it was just so intense. The opening scene shows a computer monitor with the name "thonggirl" as a IM handle, chatting with a guy named Jay319. Its obviously a conversation btween an older adult and a child that was flirtatious and arranged a meet.

At first you think its going to be the same story that the pedophile is going to abduct and hurt the girl but abotu 20 mins in she has HIM drugged and exacting her revenge on him for all the kiddie porn and all the little girls he had taken advantage of.

Just ask your self this, many of us have spoken of casterating a pedophile if we ever caugth them....but when it comes downt o a homedone castration how many would have the stomach..let alone a 14 year old girl having the stomach. :D

Very nice psychological thriller with TONS of twists and turns. (so yeah you might think I spoiled it by letting on the 14 year old is actually the 'predator' in the movie but really I didnt)

*nods* the girl who plays the lead in Juno stars in this and really, it's a hard movie to watch in some ways, but i found myself unable to stop watching once i started.

Ahh yes...one of my famous "you gotta see this" movies!!!

[Sabby]

Strange: The Toolbox Murders. Just... dragged >.> was I suppose to see something every time it cut to the toolbox in the elevator?

Worst: Bloodrayne. Gahhh... must... kill... Uwe Boll.

Favourite. MORTAL KOMBAT! Dah dah dah dah nuh uh, dah dah dah dah nuh uh, doof doof doof doof.

[RubySlippers]

Well one I'm REALLY looking forward to is The Dark Knight looks like finally they have a Joker that will be worthy of his comic book deranged persona by the late Heath Ledger as the famed villian. But can't put in as a favorite if I never saw it yet.

If I have a dirty I loved this film but can't figure out why it was such a turn-on I would say Hostel II. I normally hate gorefests but I loved the bloodbath scene it was very erotic in a twisted way and I loved when the only lady to survive got revenge at the end. It was just so well done overall. It has me exploring all kinds of dark sides of myself and rereading De Sade.

Hostel disappointed me..too much cliche...the gore was nice..but ehhh

(I'm too picky methinks..and yes..opinionated when it comes to horror/gore *grins*)

[RubySlippers]

Well I just saw the second one since it was at the library and free to get. I just thought that older woman with a scythe nude under her victim, cutting off her clothes, gag then her until she was covered in blood was well done. And the fact the one rich girl got payback at the end on two people who put her in that mess.

[Chilly]

Best: Irreversible
Worst: Meet the Spartans
Strangest: Love Don't Cost A Thing. It's strange. in a bad way.

[HairyHeretic]

I like bad movies. I mean REALLY .. BAD .. MOVIES .. bad :)

I have Meet the Feebles around here somewhere. This is an early Peter Jackson (yes, LotR Peter Jackson) and can best be described as The Muppet Show on acid. I have his Bad Taste too.

Another one I have, but haven't got to watching yet (friend borrowed it, only recently got it back) is The Dragon Lives Again, which has the following surreal plot

Following his untimely death, Bruce Lee (Bruce Leung Siu-lung) wakes up to find himself in the "Underworld." He meets the King of the Underworld and questions his power. The King demonstrates his displeasure by shaking a pole that can cause an earthquake through the Underworld. Bruce quickly ditches his cocky attitude and later becomes a bodyguard for the King.

Bruce then goes to a restaurant, where he meets Caine from the TV show Kung Fu and famous sailor-man Popeye. He also runs into James Bond, Dracula, Zatoichi, and Clint Eastwood, who do not appreciate Bruce's presence in the Underworld. Those characters, along with The Godfather, The Exorcist, and Emmanuelle are planning a coup to take over the Underworld. Among their schemes, the characters send Emmanuelle to have energetic sex with the King in the hopes that he will have a heart attack and die.

Bruce defeats his enemies, but is angered by the King's repeated use of his dangerous earthquake-inducing pole. Bruce threatens to kill the King unless the King lets him go back to Earth, which the King does.

Did I mention I like really bad movies?  ;D

[Maeven]

I love movies, I don't really watch TV, hence my usual introduction question (when I dare to brave the introduction forums).  I actually might revise this list but this is, after some thought, what I'm putting on my various lists:

Best:  These are movies that are so good I watch them, over and over and over:

-- The Departed-- I cannot say enough good things about this movie. Genius script, fantastic soundtrack and quite possibly the greatest love scene in any movie ever. (Costigan and the psychologist to the tune of Comfortably Numb)  It is, in fact, playing, again on my TV as I type this. 
-- Fight Club-- Needs no explanation. I'm a girl but it even speaks to me.
-- The Illusionist -- The only real love story on my list. It's exceptional and I don't even really care for Jessica Biel.
-- Jarhead -- I love military movies. This one is contemporary thought set in Desert Storm. Granted... Iraq today is different. 
-- American History X – everyone over the age of 18 in American should see this movie.  (seeing a pattern here? * cough * Ed Norton  * cough * )
-- Apocolypse Now (original or Redux) - the Martin Sheen scene with the mirror is worthy of the list by itself
-- 300-- incredible imagery... so few movies are able to not only suggest imagery visually, but mentally. This one succeeds in both aspects.
-- Kill Bill 2-- Uma is great.  I liked Kill Bill 1 as well, but this one outshined it, 

Weird:
--Natural Born Killers
--The Nines
--Memento
--From Dusk till Dawn

Worst:
--Indianna Jones-- this last one
--Attonement-- I hated that little girl with a passion and her "attonement" was not exactly just.
--Open Water-- if I wanted to relive a fight with my spouse, I'd just pick a fight with him

[Von Konos]

I really liked Kiss Kiss Bang bang, and boondock saints, Frank Miller's Sin City, and my all time favorite starship troopers.

[Sherona]

Ok first lets establish not many movies make me shudder, get sick, or freak me out. I can count on one hand how many movies made me afraid to sleep, made me turn my head, made me cover my eyes and hum so I don't hear the scary gory details. I have no problems with gore or the like, I watched Saw with no problems, I watched braveheart and wondered why the uproar about how "Gory" it was. Freddy Kruger I was a child, under the age of 13 and still watched them without blinking, and without nightmares...my almost-9 year old is the saem way..we both watched Saw together :P

That being said I have found one movie that I just could not sit through wtihout taking repeated 'step' outs. And the thing was, it wasn't all that graphic but just the thought of what was being done...sent cold chills up my spine...it was a pretty good movie but 3 scenes I could not watch.

Untraceable. Its about a serial killer who through the magic of technology put up a website that the US government could not track, could not trace, could not send down. Now, I am not computer literate in any sense so no I don't know if that is even possible but meh for a totally computer illiterate like myself, their explanations of how one could do this seemed believeable. Anyway, he killed people Live in front of the camera streamed to the website. The more visitors that it attracted the faster the person died...I don't want togive anything away but one was killed using Sulfuric Acid...the more the counter on the website went up, the more acid was sent into the tank...yeah....was a decent movie..

[HairyHeretic]

Don't believe everything you see about technology in movies :)

[Sherona]

Don't believe everything you see about technology in movies :)

Oh I don't trust me. I am just saying they explained in a way that it wasn't completely unbelievable and thus ruining the movie :P

[HairyHeretic]

Ah, gotcha. I picked you up wrong there.

That being said, picking holes in movies can also he quite fun.

[Von Konos]

HI everyone
Sherona I am the same way with movies, my mother was a horror movie freak. so I am going to have to rent untraceable and check it out.

[WyldRanger]

For some bizarre reason I just couldn't handle The Dark Knight today. I actually left halfway through. I don't ever remember doing this with a movie that I payed for ever before. This is weird because I've seen things much darker and intense in the past and I was able to handle them just fine. But today...no good. And I know I made the right decision since after I left I felt much more at peace.

Eventually I want to see the ending, but my mental state has to change for that to happen. What I saw I liked and enjoyed, but I couldn't handle the intensity. Maybe my tastes are starting to change again, who knows....

[RubySlippers]

Well one movie I love is WHEN NIGHT IS FALLING likely one of the best lesbian romance movies ever with interesting themes and character development, extremely attractive main characters and one of the nicest lesbian sex scenes in a movie.

[Mathim]

The Dark Knight is not only the best superhero movie I have seen in a while (blew Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk out of the water) but it was the best movie I've seen in ages. The Joker was just...man, if I was gay I'd totally jump his bones. I can't believe Xana walked out...you missed the best scenes. Shame on you.

And I liked 30 Days of Night. Yes, it was a little long, if they'd cut a lot of the beginning crap out it would have been a lot better but no, we have know all about the people who are going to be dying anyway. Top-notch horror film, though, really unexpected twists. The actual graphic novels are probably way better though.

Anyway, here's my topses...

Favorite: Kung Fu Hustle. Stephen Chow is a fucking genius. He knows how to choreograph brilliant fight scenes and blend in comedy with obsidian-edge precision (for those who don't know, obsidian can be made sharper than steel) and great scripts encompassing everything. This was his best movie, followed by Shaolin Soccer, and The Royal Tramp I and II. I high recommend all four of them if no one has seen them. You are really missing out.

Worst: Master and Commander. I swear, how this movie was even made in the first place...it's like, two hours of guys standing around on a boat talking. I laughed maybe once at a lame joke Russel Crowe made. I seriously wanted to walk out, but someone else paid for it so I had to stay for the whole thing. I want those two hours of my life back.

Weirdest: Being John Malkovich. Seriously, has anyone even seen this? How they came up with the plot is beyond me, but the subject matter in it was even worse than the unexplained bullshit phenomenon. I mean, at one point in the movie, Cameron Diaz gets locked in a cage and a chimpanzee is in a position to free her, and she proceeds to make out with said chimpanzee and, it is implied but not shown on the camera, to go even further with said chimpanzee. Avoid this movie at all costs or you might regret it.

I am so with you here. I LOVE Russel Crowe... and I'm an evolution/Darwin fangirl so the Galapagos thing was cool, but I was so freaking sick of chasing that boat by the end of the movie... *GAH*

[Mathim]

Really makes me wonder what movie critics are thinking. I mean, the movie wasn't really thought-provoking or inspiring and whether or not it was historically accurate, it wasn't entertaining in the slightest.

[Maeven]

Well, I know at least one person here on E that regards it as his favorite Russel Crowe movie, so, some really enjoyed it. 

Me... I like him in Gladiator (of course) and American Gangster.

[Mathim]

I never saw either of those. I did like him in A Beautiful Mind, that was definitely a great film. But other than that, I'm not anxious to see him in anything else.

Has anyone seen Idiocracy? That is definitely a weird one by Mike Judge (creator of Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill and Office Space) where in five hundred years, everyone is going to be so stupid that we're all going to starve to death because we're going to water plants with Gatorade, and be buried under mountains of garbage. It's actually frighteningly realistic. I for one feel that people are getting dumber day by day. And I base this on how many retards almost run me over with their cars/buses/motorcycles each day while I ride my bike. I mean, I'm almost 300 pounds, how can they NOT see me?

[RubySlippers]

In defense of Master & Commander that was historically very accurate to how naval battles really were long periods of maneuvering and plotting and short bursts of combat.

Idiocracy was a great movie on how dumb asses are reproducing and smart people don't want to have kids, but they at least HAD a black president.

[Jarl Tiberius]

Favorite movies…hmmm…

He was a quiet man – That wasn’t acting, that was natural.
Thank you for smoking – Good script.
Bug – Not many enjoyed it, well of course!
Exorcism – They threw Me out from the theater…I was laughing like a maniac.

**Not sure about the last name...forgotten.  Think its The Exorcist

[RubySlippers]

Ok one group of movies I loved the Hammer Vampire Movies buxom women whoring out with fangs bared and oft time enjoying each other was so cheesy and cool. Especially with the great B-Movie actors in them Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and others.

And how can you not add to this the movies of Ed Wood the worst film director of all time that loved the idea and making his kind of movies: Glen or Glenda (which was subtly given honor in in Seed of Chucky), Bride of the Monster, Plan 9 from Outer Space come on he at least for the crappy budgets he had at least made unique films.

And may I add the worst vampire movie ever BLOOD AND DONUTS, so bad it was good but so bad. lol

Since I am on summer vacation from college classes, I watch a lot of movies with friends, family, and a few people I enjoy.

[Sherona]

Well, I know at least one person here on E that regards it as his favorite Russel Crowe movie, so, some really enjoyed it. 

Me... I like him in Gladiator (of course) and American Gangster.

I looooved Russel Crowe in 3:10 to Yuma. Maeven you so need to see this...he plays a rough and tough murderer/thief with a heart of gold *wipes tear from eye*

Ok not a heart of gold but a sensitive side ;) Go see it now :P

I haven't seen that one Sherona.  I think I got it in the mail once from Blockbuster online and never watched it.  *goes to put it back on her queue* Thanks for the recommendation.

[Latronia Twilight]

i LOVE Juno >.< I'm going to name my first kit that. but if she get's pregnant i swear to god *makes a chocking motion*

[MusicNeverDies]

Favourite:
The Usual Suspects- I adore movies with some thought, and killing, and crime. And Kevin Spacey. These are all themes.
The Shawshank Redemption- I don't even know why this is a favourite, I can never get tired of it. Morgan Freeman is so good in it and it's hopeful yet funny yet sad at times. Just good stuff.
American Beauty- Good, dark comedy, stunning acting. Again. Kevin Spacey
The Godfather- The mafia really would be my career of choice, if I was a Sicilian male. Love the book, love the job, love the movie.
A Beautiful Mind- I adore Russell Crowe in this. It was an interesting watch.
Life is Beautiful- I loved this. Normally I'm like, eh, another WW2 film. But it just strikes, the main character is so likable you can't help but watch him and hope he makes it. 

A bunch of others. Really. A bunch bunch.

Strangest:
2001: A Space Odyssey- I love HAL. He's great, this is also one of my top movies, but anyone who's seen the ending has to admit it's just. Weird. I watched it the first time at a young age, and it freaked me out. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to watch while on drugs.
Stay- Ewan McGregor and Ryan Gosling. I just watched because I was in a Ewan mood. It was just. Peculiar.
The Jacket- Weird. Psychological thriller, but it had temporal inconsistencies, which always drive me nuts. I couldn't tell when an inconsistency was in or out of play, and it seemed to drag. I was tired wen watching but still. 

I've seen The Dark Knight 4 times. I'm letting it sink in a bit more before I decide if I place it with my favourites, but it's DAMN good.

[Lisossa Etasu]

Favourite - Pans Labyrinth - I'm not exactly sure why but after watching it on an British Film channel, I went out and bought it on DVD. I think I just like the fact it's not in English and the speech sounds beautiful

Worst - The Ring Two - Just plain boring, I can't even sit through it without falling asleep

Strange - Blair Witch - Never did understand it

[Mathim]

Wow, this topic really died. Let me revive it.

Has anyone seen the movie Falling Down? It starts Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall (this alone should be enough to get people to see it, big-name actors like them) and it's just absolutely riddled with social commentary. I mean, any poor person will identify with it. It's just powerful, totally, you will wonder how more people like Michael Douglas' character don't just snap like he does. Do yourselves a favor and see this movie.

[Bliss]

Oooh, Falling Down is great, definitely.

Well one movie I love is WHEN NIGHT IS FALLING likely one of the best lesbian romance movies ever with interesting themes and character development, extremely attractive main characters and one of the nicest lesbian sex scenes in a movie.

Ruby - Have you ever seen Bound? :D

[Mathim]

I think my mom was secretly a lesbian, come to think of it. She liked that movie Bound, and all these other really homoerotic types of movies. Maybe that's why she never got married...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who liked Falling Down. I mean, if you want to get your brain into high-gear and just really start re-examining life and your view of the entire world...watch that movie. It'll blow your mind. Seriously. I kid you not.

[Maeven]

Loved Falling Down.  Am embarrassed to admit I have it in VHS.

But I like Michael Douglas in mostly all his movies. 

[Mathim]

Hey, it's a relatively old movie, I'm not surprised. What I am surprised about is that I managed to find the DVD of it. I figured something like that might have been out of print...

I haven't seen any other Michael Douglas movies, but I definitely think that this has to be one of his best. If not for him, then simply for the amazing script.

[Bliss]

Not embarassing at all. And ohyes, Michael Douglas. "I am Spartacus!" = Blissmelt.


...or was that Kirk?

[Mathim]

No clue.

Has anyone seen Slither? That has to be one of the sicket horror flicks I've ever seen. I mean, if you want a fucked-up, scary-ish movie, that's the one for you.

[Bliss]

I've been meaning to see Slither. Lots of messed-up-ness + Nathan Fillion! Win!

[Mathim]

Never heard of him. But man, there's some of the grossest death scenes imaginable in that one. Look forward to it.

[Maeven]

Not embarassing at all. And ohyes, Michael Douglas. "I am Spartacus!" = Blissmelt.


...or was that Kirk?

Kirk... equally as melt-worthy.

My favorite Michael Douglas movie was Wall Street I think.

[Bliss]

He was in Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long blog as Captain Hammer, he was in Firefly/Serenity as Captain Malcolm Reynolds, he was o Drive, he was the evil priest in Season 7 of Buffy.... Might do better if you just IMDB him, though. :)


Yes Mae, all of the Douglas men... I would omnom them.

[Cutter]

I've been meaning to see Slither. Lots of messed-up-ness + Nathan Fillion! Win!

Slither is A-ok.

I just watched Shivers by David Cronenberg. The man is GOD!

[Mathim]

Didn't Cronenberg do that movie Rabid? That one was horrible.

[Cutter]

Nah. Rabid was good. Rough I admit, but good.

[King_Furby]

Death Bed, the bed that eats people is pretty strange.

But the strangest movie has to be that one with the guy who played wolverine from x-men. It's called the fountin. It's wierd. It's about some guy who is like living many different realities at once. But he is in a fricken snowglobe a 3rd of the movie. it was so bad i had to turn it off after half and hour.

oh and "The brothers grim" was also one of the worst movies ever.

My fav movie ever is the guyver and guyver 2 dark hero. For some reason a superhero who has blades come out of his elbows is just awesome.

[TheAnimeFanGirl]

Recently in theaters, I've seen Kung Fu Panda and Hellboy II. They were really awesome. I really want to see Tropic Thunder. I love Jack Black and Ben Stiller, and it looks funny.

[King_Furby]

I didn't really like hellboy, but hellboy 2 looks more interesting. Just as the hulk 2 looks more interesting then the first was. I hate setup stories of superheros alot of times.

i liked the hellboy 2 commericals. "over his red body" lol i found that funny.

[Sugarman (hal)]

Hellboy two was, in my opinion, well done

[Paradox]

One of my favorites: Twelve Angry Men

You couldn't make a movie like that today. Most of the audience wants special effects and dazzling camera-work. An hour and a half of jurors sitting around talking would bomb.

[MusicNeverDies]

Here here.

Twelve Angry Men is awesome, was lucky enough to be in a stage version(not all males, obviously), sweet stuff all around.

[Cutter]

I'm on a Cronenberg kick

Videodrome.

Brilliant.

[Bliss]

I found Hellboy II to be fun to watch, but a bit of a letdown after the hype of the trailers. Not nearly as epic as it was made out to be.

[TheAnimeFanGirl]

Saw Tropic Thunder today. Dang, it was sooo funny! I don't wanna spoil anything, but Jack Black was freakin' hilarious! (By the way, if anyone knows of a Jack Black forum, let me know. I feel like joining one, but I can't find any)

[Lilias]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels last night on TV. Can't say I was terribly impressed. Good, just not great.

I want to see Tropic Thunder but I really hope Ben Stiller doesn't fuck it up, he and Owen Wilson are two of the worst actors I've had the displeasure of seeing on screen. But Robert Downey Jr.'s faux black character sounds like enough to justify the movie on his own!

Has anyone seen Mystery Men? I hate to admit but it was a great movie that happened to have Ben Stiller in it. But William H. Macy, Geoffrey Rush and the rest of its all-star cast make it a really great misfit superhero movie. Pee-wee Herman as a guy with a super farting power, I can't believe South Park didn't do it first.

One of my favorites: Twelve Angry Men

You couldn't make a movie like that today. Most of the audience wants special effects and dazzling camera-work. An hour and a half of jurors sitting around talking would bomb.

Mmm, agree. The Dirty Dozen couldn't have been made today either, at least not as a major Hollywood film (no subplots of treachery and the Germans getting word of it? no hokey effects? no women?) but it's one of the best war films of its era, and the interplay between the unruly, insightful major and his bunch of picked men is engrossing to watch. It's like Blackboard Jungle set in a jailbirds' boot camp.

I think one of the weirdest is "Dressed to Kill" with Michael Caine in the lead role. To be fair he isn't too bad in the role but it is just such an odd film.

A guilty pleasure is the sci-fi gem, "Neon City".  The premise is brilliant but it is so low budget.
