its-a-clock 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yes. I saw SAW last night. Not sure I would say it was a 'good movie' but it certainly had me wondering until the end. Rather disturbing. A bit too dark for my liking that one. Link to post Share on other sites
maninjapan 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Watched Just Friends today - not a great movie but by no means a bad movie, just full of cliches that you've seen before in any boy-loves-girl-but-girl- wants-to-be-friends movie. In fact distinctly average really. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The 1933 King Kong, cheesy now but worth a look. Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Escape From New York. Lots of memories. Kurt was so cool in that. I'll have to check out The Thing again I think. Dig was also a real good watch. Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 That was a good one. About A Boy was good too. Similar-ish feel. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm sensing a definite girly flavour to the last few posts. Anyone else really dig "You Got Mail"? Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 finally watched the village last night, it was interesting enough but failed to deliver gripping suspense. Link to post Share on other sites
Svetik 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 This weekend I watched "Night Watch" (Nochnoy Dozor) and "Day Watch" (Dnevnoy Dozor), first high-budget Russian films. It's fantasy-thriller-mistery films about Dark and Light forces, quite entertaining and lots of trick effects for Russian motion pictures. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I saw Nightwatch Svetik. Wasn't all that impressed... I had heard it was quite good, so maybe my expectations were too high for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Svetik 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Probably Bushpig but you are right, it is not so mush impressive, it's just good for russian movies. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 a bit like a lot of Aussie movies a few years back. I used to cringe at some of the junk the Aussie film undustry used to produce. Thankfully there have been some good one's recently. Back on topic, an Aussie film "Two Hands" was very amusing. Link to post Share on other sites
Svetik 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Has anyone seen already "Memoirs of a Geisha"? Is it good? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah, it wasn't too bad. There was a thread about it going late last year. Check it out here . Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I saw the village as well - was looking forward to it. Didn't live up to expectations. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I hear Mr Phoneix is good in that johnny cash flick. I don't know much about mr cash so I wouldnt be too sure. Village was interesting. Love their way of speaking. Link to post Share on other sites

Mudguts 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Saw the Village last night and it was very disappointing. Actually, like everything M.Night.Shamalan has done since the Sixth Sence. What was going on with that ending in the Village? I hate watching movies that leave me without an answer. I want to know what the writer/director were thinking. Not just leave it to your imagination. But that's just me. Shamalan needs to do a movie which is in a completely different genre. I watched Stealth the other night and it wasn't bad perhaps because I watched it without any expectations Link to post Share on other sites
soobi 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 for me a great film is one that allow you to utterly believe for that one and a half hours (or three) that the pretending is absolutely for real. and being drawn in, and moved by a story is an amazing visual and emotive experience. 'good luck and good night' was one, and it didn't need explosions, or sex to make it interesting. i find music in film an interesting thing - it is so important in how it adds to the atmosphere of the film but feels creepily like emotional manipulation. eg. the last aussie film i saw was 'little fish' with cate blanchett and it was really good but there was a scene with school kids singing that jimmy barnes song flame trees. i was bawling even though i have always hated the song.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 MMS seems very over-rated if you ask me. Village was just simply boring. As was Unbreakable. And Signs was just silly. I liked 6th Sense though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I enjoyed 'The Hours'. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I actually enjoyed "Sommersby". I wasn't planning on watching it all, just flicking through, but somehow got caught up in it. I like Jodie Foster. Link to post Share on other sites
