Fleming's first choice to play Bond was David Niven, so clearly, in his mind, it was the sophistication and coolness that mattered most to him. Producers wanted someone younger, and more rugged- so we got Sean Connery. And he inhabited the character like no other actor, IMO.

Ditto!:)

ONE movie so far. Let's see if he can keep it consistent... that's what counts.

Drillbit Taylor

Islands of comedy surrounded by an ocean of boring.

4/10

"Okay, I'm going to write on this 'not for pot'. You're gonna feel pretty silly if you try and buy pot with this, won't you?"

I thought that part was pretty hilarious.

Death Proof

Batman Begins

I watched [I]The Eye[I] with my 12 year old niece and even she didn't like it. It was silly. I rented Funny Games and In Burges. I hope they are better.

Used Cars [1980]


still pretty funny:D

Now that is ONE movie which brings back memories...

i saw used cars when it came out in the theatres and didnt like it - i was too young to get it.
got the DVD years later and really enjoyed it.

Children of the Corn III. I found it quite entertaining although it's been butchered by the reviewers!

Saw Used Cars as a kid totally forgot about it till then. Love to check out some of those old comedies again but not a lot of them have made it over here again. Still haven't seen Doctor Detroit anywhere :D
I was on school holidays when I was 8 or so and they played a bunch of flicks like that and they've got sentimental value to me.

Always liked that one myself. My favorite of the series. It stands a lot more timeless than the other entries of the series. The sequels were a lot better than the original (easily one of the worst SK adaptions for me).

Haven't seen part 666 yet tho.

I finally watched [rec] last night. Watching movies when I have a fever is never a god idea cause I have more vivid nightmares so, needless to say, I didn't sleep much last night. Great movie though.

i love that movie - i have it on beta.


"i make adjustments ...CLICK .... to the spine"

shotgun stories (2007)

wow, i was super impressed with this one.
slow-boiling tale of revenge in a small arkansas town.

very reminiscent of david gordon green (he produced it, so...), so if anyone is a fan of his stuff, certainly check this out.

Which one is part 3? I've seen all of them but I don't know which is which.

Last horror flick I saw was a week or two ago, it was Feast. Great gorey/entertaining time. I look forward to Part 2, and the IMDB even says there's a part 3 coming. Should be fun.

The third one is Children of the Corn III.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

From IMDB:

Ring any bells?

Yeah, but whoever wrote that needs to proofread...

Thanks.

Going to see Hellboy 2 tonight! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HELLBOY 2:


Whoa. That movie.... was insane. Spectacular barely gives it the credit it deserves. Del Toro is a genius, and this was a work of art. 50 times better than the first. Go see it. Right. Now.

9.5/10

The only thing I didn't like was the first ten minutes. Otherwise... wow.

I'm going on Monday. No spoilers til then okay because I am a huuuge Hellboy Fan. The fact that they brought the BPRD into it is just that much better and Liz Sherman is pretty well my hero. Thank God for Mike Mignola.

Cheezy Horror Trailers: Vol. 1

The Tracey Fragments. The new Ellen Page indieflick. Watch the trailer (which is excellent BTW), the entire film is presented in that format. Ellen Page gives a performance which shows why she was nominated for JUNO (I thought, while the performance in that film was good... she did a much better job in Hard Candy, and in this film. She deserves an award, it's just hard to say for which role.) It's very much what the title states. Fragments from her life. Snippets, here and there. Of a story. Of her little brother running away, how it happened, and what she goes through and how she escapes it (physically and mentally.) I thought it was very depressing. I really liked it.

The Ruins. It was a very well-directed flick. I'm a big Carter Smith fan. Go watch Bugcrush.

Rapid Fire. Decent. Brandon Lee... why'd you have to go? I'd much rather you have a lengthier filmography, and of course, still be alive.

Eddie And the Cruisers II. It dumps the atmosphere and format of the first, and goes for a less mysterious, and more linear story. The first had a basic plotline, and carried a very heavy atmosphere and sense of mystery. It used musical scenes and flashbacks to fill out it's runtime. It was well crafted. The sequel wasn't bad, but I much prefer the first.

Superhero Movie. I've seen Spiderman, do I really need to sit through a spoof who's every scene is based on one I've seen before? It gets repetitive. I did LOL once, which is odd. The casket scenes always get me. In this, and Scary Movie 4 (or was it 3?) If you have nothing, and I mean nothing, better to do or watch... you MIGHT want to check this out. It's not the worst of the ____ Movie / Meet the Spartans line-up.

The Big Easy.

Prom Night (2008)

>>: C-

Wanted 2/10

Personally, I hated this movie. They totally fucked over the comic. The comic was one of the best that I have ever read, and this movie totally disreguarded anything that had to do with it. I was hoping the parts that were in the movie that came from the comic were going to make up for the rest of the movie. I was wrong. The only reason I gave it a 2 was for the final line. Thats the only redeamable thing from the movie. Other than that.... Yeah you might like it if you didn't read the comic, but if you did, stay away, far far away.

Wanted.


Fun and breezy action flick, with generous doses of comic-book fantasy timing. Its a rivetting fast-paced movie and certainly recommended for anyone who is into action and Sin City-esque atmosphere. Some of the effects will leave you with your mouth open...;)

Very stylish, very chic. You ll love this one.


Rating - * * * ½

I see our opinions differ.

Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip - 9/10
Fuckin' hilarious....One of my personal favorites...stand-up comedy at it's finest.

Is it any Good?

Just watched the final episode of Twin Peaks...what a depressing episode. I can just imagine the conversation that much have been had:

David Lynch: Hey, did you see what we did with the season finale? We ruined pretty much everyone's life - seeing how they manage to get by after these events will be the major selling point of the next season!

Producer: Yeah, thats great David...you're canceled.

Now I really, really need to grab a copy of Fire Walk With Me...

I agree. Not sure why people are freaking out about it. It was just a fun movie.

Supposedly it REALLY takes liberties with the source material, which is pissing a lot of people off....I've heard this from a bunch of people, especially Psycom:p

I still want to see it...haven't read the book, but I think I'll order it soon.

It's typical mindless fun. And YOU sir! Why haven't you seen Hellboy yet? I know you like it as much as I do.

The_Return, if you have an HMV near you, they're selling Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me for $6.00

Going to open up my Viva Pedro boxet tonight and watch Matador.
