What new movies have you seen lately, and what do you love or hate about them?
*I am the Rear Admiral but Sigler gives the Orders*
Lately? Well, I've watching the Castle of Cagliostro for a while (Lupin the 3rd anyone?) Quite an interesting movie, since it is by one of my favourite directors, Hayao Miyazaki , which is why I love it. The only thing I hate about it is the main character's(Lupin) personality is quite different from the way he is normally portrayed.

I think his films have a vision associated with them and he does a great job of bringing them to life. The characterizations are great too...

I didn't really know what to expect when I went to see it, but somehow it was more than I expected. It wasn't just robots run amok... I really liked the casting... They did an excellent job with it. Some of the story changes tweaked me a bit, but they weren't enough to ruin the movie.. Overall, really well done.

All types of movies have their times and their appeal... I definately won't fault you for that.

I've got most of them at home and watch them constantly too. Actually, I've watched Antitrust quite a few times too... excellent flick... I'd probably add Fletch to the list too... Spaceballs... That's another one...

Even with the few changes they made though, LOTR was really close enough to the books that they complemented each other. Legend didn't complement. I did like the movie though... for what it was... I think my favorite character was the manican in the red hat... But WHY! Why kill the dog? Lock it up until you can find a cure... And "do not display any human characteristics"??? Let me see, he's their boogie-man, he killed the one zombies girlfriend/mate, they set an elaborate trap for him... hhhmmm... given some time, they might even develop into a normal society....

It was actually really well done... Nothing like a C-130 gunship strafing a ground position....

I'm probably setting myself up for a fall... but I'm hoping/expecting it to be really good....

Strings..... I dare you... rent it.... I double dog dare you. Watch it and then let me know what you think.....
It's like Team America.... just without the Team America.... Dark and almost sinister
Not a comedy by any stretch... more of a drama/action/tragedy type of movie... Team America meets MacBeth... and MacBeth kicks the crap out them.
All the characters are marionettes... but they're so well done, and the strings are actually part of the movie that it fits... and even works..... Kinda freaky at times.... By the end you'd swear they were moving their lips... really freaky that way.... imagine living your life with strings connected to your body that went all the way up to heaven.... How could you tell where you end, and I begin....

I'll post what I think after the movie... Did anyone else see it? Interesting to compare notes..

Not the best movie of the year by far, but overall enjoyable... parts were slow, parts were "why are you doing that?" parts had some really good special effects... Samuel Jackson was very good in it... Worth at least a rental...

I find it better to watch the movie first cuz i'm constantly noticing how much is left out that was in the book that could have really added to the story. In forest gump for example he actually became a pro wrestler. it was hilarious,in the book but not in the movie ΔΔΔ just because I kiss the prettiest girls and drive my truck too fast, why does everbody want to kick my ass
Just because I kiss the prettiest girls and drive my truck too fast,...
Open Range,lead character with a violent past that manifested itself when the brave were needed, No country for old men because it was so purely raw in it's reality and brutality, and Last of the Mohicans-with the best love story and most kickass fighting i can recall in film...,but lonesome dove is my fave

That movie's hilarious! Based on Homer's "The Odyssey." I love Ulysses' description of the Devil: "Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork."
See, now that's making literature fun!

that are a lot of movies. I guess you got a little carried away there. They are great movies (at least the ones I've seen)
[1st Dutch junkie] All that matters is getting my fix.

(Yo, AaronS889 Dude: got to keep all the returns and such out of post. So more posts/page. We were all requested not to do what you did) By Love Possessed (1957: Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) Yeah, total sap, but I love it anywha. The Towering Inferno. The Carpetbaggers.Paint Your Wagon (a must see comedy) Airplane, Ghostbusters Spy Games. Yeah, go ahead, I'm strange, but so is Scott :) s13cybergal, an OJ with a walker. You can't forget that Scott!

OK, these are most definitely favorites, but only in a particular category: movies that cause you to have to think about what's "real" in the context of the movie. Kind of like that first time you ever saw Wizard of Oz--the ending was a bit of a surprise--was it all just a dream? So here are a few for adults: Mulholland Drive (2001, by David Lynch), eXistenZ (1999, by David Cronenberg), The 13th Floor (1999, by Josef Rusnak), Donnie Darko (2001, by Richard Kelly), and Jacob's Ladder (1990, by Adrian Lyne). Not an exhaustive list, but these are a few. And I promise--there's a list of much more normal movies too!

One of the best scifi movies to come along in a very long time. I also love anime - Cowboy Bebop being one of the best series. And anything Miyazaki. How about Tony Jaa martial arts movies? Anyone ever see Ong Bak? Not much of a story, but the action is incredible.
Its technically considered a movie for some reason...
