Two movies worth watching

[ntbullock]

I recently enjoyed The Orphanage and Before The Devil Knows You're Dead. Check 'em out.

Southland Tales and Smiley Face

[ntbullock]

Southland Tales is a terrible mess. It could've been cool.

[EK]

Yeah, I've got to agree with N.T. on Southland Tales. I really liked Donnie Darko, but I think Richard Kelly fell flat on his face with this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the weird and the offbeat. Southland just didn't work for me.

What a jumbled mess of ideas that weren't even close to realized, and it definitely wasn't because he didn't have enough running time - talk about long for no reason.

The best movie I have watched in the recent weeks is "The Warlords", starring Jet Li.

A truly epic movie.

"The Counterfeiters" was the best movie I've recently seen. "Charlie Wilson's War" was also good but not nearly as good.

[Kismette]

My sister and I saw Street Kings.

I thought it was a good action film.
And of course it has hmm good Keanu Reeves.
We were so hopeing he would take a shower in the beginning of the film ~ oh well.

Just caught the new Rambo on DVD. Actually entertaining. Brutal. Some of the graphics were straight off a television series, but entertaining nonetheless.

Sly is more buff now than he's ever been.

Go steroids...

Thats how I felt. But I watched it a few more times....still, it was a mess. I did begin to find it really funny though. Its a great comedy.Well almost. After reading a little more about the tales it made a bit more sense but only a little. Any movie that can keep me thinking after I finished watching it is worth something

Wristcutters. Awesome!

[Kismette]

Our recent movies watched were "Revolver" and "LayerCake".
Both were pretty good and both were strange.

Get this our latest netflix movie which shall arrive tomorrow is:
Zardoz.

I'll let you all know how that one goes.
Wonder if it will be like Soylent Green.

[Penguinator]

The Bank Job is pretty good, and Jason Statham is surprisingly a good lead for it. And I know it isn't a movie, but Eddie Izzard's Unrepeatable show is worth renting (if you can find it).

[Kismette]

We finally watched Zardoz last night.
All I have to say is that it's so intriguing and comical but yet you can't stop watching it to see how it ends.

"Zardoz: The gun is good.
Exterminators: The gun is good.
Zardoz: The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill! "

We were like What? What did that thing say?
We had to rewind the dvd a bit to hear it again.

Sean Connery is the man! Don't you just love the outfit?
NT you have got to go get yourself a replica of that outfit. Can't you just see the swarms of women knocking down your door once you do?

Hm, I was interested in The Orphanage until I saw that Del Toro merely produced, rather than directed. Maybe I'll check it out though. ..As long as we're recommending movies, Hellboy 2 was amazing, especially in terms of all the physical artistic special effects.
