I am not sure what is this film about (probable about Martial Arts but there wasn't many about it), and moreover its last scenes were horrible (alike whole movie). Too many things were utterly unclear, and even not logical. I really regret that I spent 1,5 hour on watching it.

I'm so with you on this one, the movie was crap. Surprisingly there are a good deal of people who seem to think this movie was great. I've asked a few people I know what they liked most about the movie and every time I hear "It's directed and written by David Mamet." sure Mamet has had some amazing films but this is certainly not one of them.


That aside I just watched one of my favorite cartoon, yes I said cartoon, again. The movie is called Howl's Moving Castle from Studio Ghibli Japans "Disney". Is such fantastic fairy tale with some of the most amazing animation I've seen. You just can't help but smile while watching this or any other Ghibli movie.

I think I'll go watch Spirited Away.

Some of my other favorites are (I am a horror buff so....)

Boondock Saints
Caddyshack
anything by Rob Zombie
1972 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
All of the Halloween's
Say Anything
Cabin Fever
Wrong Turn
Deathproof
All of the Friday the 13's
Fargo
Strangeland
All of the three Nightmares on elm street
No Country for Old Men

I could go on and on but I'm sure you guys don't really care.

Fascist - I saw your thread about Killer Klowns from Outerspace. I actually like this movie despite the bad acting and effects. I just think it's funny . My huband looks at me like i'm retarded or something because I want to watch it, that is why I haven't watched it in years.

Well at least I now know there is someone out there and I am not alone :(

I have two copies of Killer Klowns. Great movie!

Slumdog Millionaire....I really, really wanted to like this movie, but the last fifteen minutes took a sharp turn into Duh-ville. 5/10

L.I.E....8/10, but don't watch it when you're depressed! Or when kids are around.
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

Last night I caught a movie on Netflix called Deathwatch it's a cool little horror movie set during WWI in the trenches. Netflix description follows...

Jamie Bell, Hugo Speer, Laurence Fox, Andy Serkis and Matthew Rhys play English soldiers stuck in enemy territory in this spooky World War I thriller. Desperate to stay unseen, they bunk out in an abandoned German hideout, where slowly, one by one, they're picked off by an otherworldly enemy they can't identify. For the rest of them to get out alive, they must understand what they're up against so they can vanquish it before it conquers them.

There were some cool deaths and a bit of terror going on and who doesn't love seeing Gollum (Andy Serkis) lose his mind. Worth checking out

Can you elaborate on this? I mean there were a lot more than three...

The last movie I saw was Kick-Ass and I thought it was great.

edited to add actual text from me:

Skittles says thank you! Well, she actually says zzzzzz, but I know what she means. She's.....four months old in that picture. I think.

Blood Simple. The Coen brothers do it again...9.5/10

I feel so frickin' awesome for posting about Killer Klowns from Outer Space!
I feel like a nerd that found a nerd colony! Haha, no offense to you guys that agree with me on how awesome it is despite the effects and acting. It's just one of those movies, thank you 80s!

Okay for some reason I haven't seen Chicago, well, I saw bits and pieces of it, so I decided to watch it yesterday and I absolutely love it! The song in the prison with the gals singing about killing their husbands... fantastic.
9/10.

Sex Drive, as much of a total teen/sex/rebellion based movie that it is, I loved it haha. Something about it just intrigued me. I guess sort of like a more modern day John Hughes film. 8/10.

I really enjoyed La Grande Illusion too. French film set in the 30s about WWI and two French officers trying to escape from a German POW camp. It was actually pretty dang funny! 7/10.

Delicatassen... So odd haha. Apparently people above ground eat people (like a parallel Sweeney Todd but people know) so other people hide below ground and the people above ground think they're bad people haha. It was interesting.
I want to learn how to play a saw!!! I've decided that that's my new ummm... Thing you decided to try that could become a hobby or something but I can't remember the word. 5/10.

Merlin and the Book of the Beasts was absolutely terrible!
I love Merlin don't get me wrong, but the one with Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter is by far my favorite, and the guy that played Merlin in Book of the Beasts was terrible! I swear, his accent went from English to Jamaican, to Irish, to Czech, to plain angry everywhere else in the world every 5 minutes! and he always had this ridiculous scowl on, it was poor acting all around. the pauses, the looks, the tone of them all... Ugh. I don't know how I tolerated finishing it. 2/10.

Barry Munday, decent comedy. Not necesssarily fantastic, but there were definitely some lines in it that made it really funny. And the fact that yeah, he got his testes amputated... My favorite part though was when him and his baby mama haha were getting it on and his memory starts to come back because he recognized a tat she has, and as things got... really exciting the camera pans to his face and you can hear his thoughts about how though the baby looks Asian he realizes it's his no matter what and he just goes "She's mine, she's mine, she's mine! I'm the dad!" and then at THAT moment, he yells "CORNELIAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" And things get awkward hahaha. 6/10.

Grindhouse was just awesome all together!

I absolutely love the car in Deathproof, and man that ending, those girls kicked butt!
Being a car lover, it was just so... amazing.

And Planet terror just had that perfect corny zombie ish movie thing going on with the cheesy but perfect acting, and not to mention things... melting off people.
And the BBQ ribs recipe!

I concur, he did play it quite well. I really like that it took place in the 50s era, it was a swell choice, much better than futuristic. The 50s after all were all about the future.

I didn't get to finish Zombies of Mass Destruction because my boyfriend thought it was stupid and was going nowhere... And yet he loves zombie movies.

Skittles has to be the cutest name for a rat!! How old is he/she now? My Aremis is 1 1/2... so I'm hoping he'll make it to around 2 but he is obese so who knows. :(
