oo 1 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Friday Night Lights, excellent movie I've just seen. It's a sports movie that's not about sports. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390022/ Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Top chess players often kick each other under the table. Or so the rumour goes. There's also a new film about Kasparov vs. Deep Blue, but I've not seen it. The last film I saw was Downfall (Untergang), the one about Hitlers last few days in the bunker. It was recommended to me by my old dear and supplied by some naughty site on the Intarweb. It's definitely worth seeing. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Is Donnie Darko worth seeing? I saw the first 10 minutes of My Big Fat Totally Unfunny Greek Wedding last night, before I turned it off and read a book instead. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I liked it. It seems to be a generally liked movie - in a good way, not a blockbuster summer movie way, if you know what I mean. It might be worth drinking a lot of alcohol before watching though. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I thought Big Fat Greek blah blah blah was a pile of poo. Donnie Darko on the other had is brilliant Ocean, and I recommend you see it with much haste. Love the soundtrack! Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Big Fat was and is utter dross. It was fairly obvious it would be before sitting down to watch it though, wasn't it...? DD is definitely worth a watch Ocean11. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I've heard really good things about Friday Night Lights as well, really want to see it. Even if you hate American football, you can still enjoy this one. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I saw Sideways as well recently, wasn't expecting much but I really enjoyed it. Probably the best this year so far. Link to post Share on other sites
its-a-clock 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Metallicas Some Kind of Monster. I'm not a fan, but its a really great watch. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I recently watched "Touching the Void". I wasn't too sure about it to begin with, but ended up really enjoying it. Pretty full on, but a good watch. It's based on a true story which always adds a bit to a movie. Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Sin City. It's got Bruce Willis in it, but don't let that put you off. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 PeeWee's Big Adventure Watched it last night and I have to say I was surprised. It was alright. Tim Burton did a good job and I was amused for the 90-100 minutes that the movie was on. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I watched Basic Instinct last night, first time in a while I quite enjoyed it in a lightweight kinda way. Sharon Stone really gets into that bouncing up and down on Michael Douglas. I read also that they are making a follow up to it right now, this time without MD. Link to post Share on other sites

echineko 1 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Me too, I saw that also it was very good. New Zealand looks beautiful place. What are NZ town and city like? Link to post Share on other sites

Plucky 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Quote: Is Donnie Darko worth seeing? Definitely worth it. One of my favorite scenes ever from a movie was in DD. The scene when it's all slow-mo and 'everybody wants to rule the world' is playing. Brilliant for a first time director! I just finished watching the Sci-Fi Channels 'Dune' TV Movie. It was really good. Some of the sets and computer work were cheesy as hell, but all in all, solid. Way better than the original Dune movie and not nearly as confusing (I've read the books too). Also watched 'The Majestic' with Jim Carey today. Not bad at all. A bit predictable, but worth the time to watch. A friend of mine dropped off his DVD case with over 200 movies in it Friday eve. Good to have friends like that when you're stuck at home for a month! Link to post Share on other sites
blinkin'ek 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I saw Ray the other night. Good acting, but didn't do much for me. I'm looking forward to Wallace & Grommit. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Echi, NZ towns and cities arent much different from any other country in the world...just a lot more New Zealanders Oh and I guess they arent as big either. Oha and Whale Rider was filmed about 20 minutes up the road from my familys house. Used to go swimming at that beach all the time when I was a youngin! Link to post Share on other sites
Amos in Utsunomia 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Sin City - really enjoyed it. Next one Batman, hopefully this coming weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Always had a weak spot for vampyres and Zombies. George A. Romeo's movies are great (fact) I had low expectations for the remake of his classic "Dawn Of The Dead" But i was surprised, GREAT STUFF!!!!!! (surprisingly)Good acting, caracters were actually beliveable, some good laughs, a fair amount of blood, no computer special effects, and a great soundtrack! Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 And isn't Romeo going in and making a new one - the 4th in his Dead series? Link to post Share on other sites
