Lynch Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We went to the theater to see this last night, my wife for the second time and I for the first time. I tried to keep expectations reasonable, in the midst of all the hype. I liked it, but I think it's one that I will have to see again to truly digest. Daniel Day-Lewis is great, and visually it's very appealing as well. So at the theater we buy 2 drinks, some popcorn, and small bag of Gummi Bears....the total is almost $19! Ridiculous.

EL the Famous Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Awesome. Even awesomer soundtrack. Finally watched 'Planet Terror' last night...holy shit was that fun! I liked 'Death Proof', but found 'PT' more satisfying. Link to post Share on other sites

m_thomp Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ditto. This afternoon: How did you find this? It's the only Alex Cox film I don't have, and for some reason I've never got round to picking it up. Although indulgant, and not exactly textbook, I find Cox's films and stories fascinating. Highway Patrolman is a great film Link to post Share on other sites
vulture19 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Speaking of PTA, this was on IFC last night: Very good film (with a shout out to John Doe's small role), but it has one of the greatest scenes in any movie, specifically the drug deal gone bad. The actors in that room (Alfred Molina, Thomas Jane, John C., et al), the cheesy (or not, you decide) 80's rock, and those god damn firecrackers had a visceral effect on me at the theater way back when, and the scene still plays powerfully even on the small screen.

Beltmann Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 How did you find this?Netflix; the DVD was just recently released. I'm not confident that Walker is a good film, but I was captivated by its bold strokes--what are helicopters and Newsweek covers doing in a film about an American zealot trying to rule Nicaragua in the mid-19th-century?--and by the continued relevance of its allegory. Plus, as El F noted, it has an awesome musical score. Link to post Share on other sites

vulture19 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Genndy Tartakovsky was a huge factor in the success of Cartoon Network, and now, for whatever reason, his stuff is never on. Just imdb'd him, and he's really got nothing in the works other than an adaptation of The Dark Crystal. There have been so many rumors of an SJ movie that they are all pretty much meaningless now.

Beltmann Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm halfway through Sorcerer, William Friedkin's 1977 remake of Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1953 classic The Wages of Fear. The original is one of my favorite suspense movies, so perhaps I'm biased, but so far the remake pretty much blows. Plus, the DVD release is pan-and-scan, which doesn't help.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 For some reason, Magic K wanted to rent it this weekend. Downtown and I sat in front of the TV MESMERIZED. By the way...anybody else find Molly Shannon to be hawt? Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 finally going to get to watch darjeeling ltd. this weekend on dvd...never got out to the theatre to catch it. also got across the universe for the wife, but I may watch it as well (unless someone can forewarn me it's as goofy as it looks).

Beltmann Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I didn't like Across the Universe--goofy, cloying, glib--but it does have some interesting visual ideas. Link to post Share on other sites
VenusStopsTrain2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I watched Becoming Jane this weekend..which was a lovely movie to watch...would totally recommend it to anyone.Also, finally was able to see Batman Begins...which was the best possible way to portray him in a more realistic fashion.

bobbob1313 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 There is very little I liked about Across the Universe. Bono was actually hysterical, but I'm not sure if it was on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
