I'm watching Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I'm a little sad it doesn't star Kate Beckinsale, but I'm a excited to to complete the trilogy. Also, I heard the big black guy in the movie wrote the movie/book.

I'm going to to watch Snow Falling On Cedars after I've watched this episode of The Wire. I have to write a 2000 word essay on it and this seems easier than reading the god-damned book.
I watched The Usual Suspects today and was surprised by how disinterested I was in it. On Thursday I'll be getting The Fifth Element. It is one of those movies everyone loves but I've never seen, so I'm pretty excited.
I thought The Usual Suspects was a very overrated film with one of the crappiest twists this side of M Night Shayalaman
I just watched Quantum of Solace on blu-ray from Netflix. It was ok, as much as you could expect from a recent Bond flick - over-the-top action scenes + "omg we can't trust james anymore, whatever will england do"
edit: vvvvv agreed!
I liked Quantum of Solace, but it was nowhere near as good as Casino Royale
I watched Hitman yesterday. It was kinda shitty. It would be okay if there was lots of action and no story, but it had mundane amounts of both.
40 minutes into Twilight and I'm feeling nauseated and have a headache.
I didn't finish watching Twilight, but last night I watched The Day The Earth Stood Still and I was very much annoyed by that kid who misses his dad and the Secretary of Defense (I recognized her from Joe Dirt). Right now, I am watching Road House, and as someone never seeing a Patrick Swayze movie before, he is totally awesome.
Watch the original The Day the Earth Stood Still it is much much much better.Quote:

I have not watched a movie in a while because I'm getting through The Wire and I have just under 24 hours worth of episodes left I think.
I'm free tomorrow though so, if I don't decide to sleep throughout the day, I might watch Funny Games or Good Night and Good Luck or I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK or one of the many other films recorded to my TV HDD box that I have yet to watch.
I'm a Cyborg, But That's Ok is an awesome name for a movie. I'm gonna look it up.
It is a movie that turns out to be something I did not expect.Quote:

Terrible movie don't bother. I didn't even like Zooey Deschanel in this.Quote:

If you don't find Yes Man charming and funny then you have no soul.
Or you've read the book.
There's a book? Shit, I hate it when there is a book and people are like, "That movie wasn't as good as the book."
Of course it wasn't as good as the book, the book is as good as your imagination and perfectly envisioned by yourself, there is no way a movie could be better.
No, it's not like the usual 'the movie totally didn't compare to the book' argument. The book is just a completely different experience altogether. I mean, for starters, it's a true story and the humour is very different.
Jim Carey falling over a lot in a predictable rom-com just does not compare.
If we were meant to read books, we would have attention spans.
That's not my point, my point is Hollywood took a certain type of book and turned it into the wrong kind of film.
No. If you found Yes Man charming and funny then you probably found Everybody Loves Raymond hilarious and you google search for new lolcats on a regular basis.Quote:

I agree that Everybody Loves Raymond but for some reason, I actually quite like King Of Queens.
ok that post wasn't about sitcoms, it was about poor taste in humor. Yes Man had a painfully dull and predicable plot. Basically if you watched the trailer for the movie you saw the movie.
I like King of Queens as well.
Its nice sometimes to just chill and laugh at some simple humor.
Agreed 100%Quote:

I really enjoyed it. Very interesting story.
Not to much emotional stuff, and not to much (or to little) comedy. Much like every other action/comedy starring Brendan Fraser. I know I'm a little late, but I have just now gotten around to seeing this movie. (Just happen to come along it while browsing www.movielab.tv)
Just watched Scoop. It's one of the only 'modern' Woody Allen films I've seen and, while it's nowhere near as hilarious as Manhattan or Sleeper, it's still very witty and thoroughly enjoyable. He's certainly not lost any talent.
I tried watching Martin Lawrence: Runteldat (a movie of his 2002 stand-up show) but, after half an hour I just had to turn it off. It was racist, vile, unfunny and pathetic. I don't know why I expected better but, well, you live and learn.
I watched the new X-Men movie after having decided I would not see it because I didn't enjoy the work edit. We got blazed and almost died beforehand going the wrong way on an exit ramp. THe movie was fucking awesome.
Watched Shoot Em Up today with a couple of bowls, pretty good.
I just watched the Spirit last night. It was, in my eyes, Sin City Lite, or Diet Sin City, if you prefer. It had the same sort of stylistic execution, except I wasn't actually impressed this time - it seemed like they went out of their way to incorporate surrealism rather than use the mix of colour/black and white to enhance aspects of the image or provide a sense of symbolism. It was visual wankery for the sake of visual wankery. The plot was asinine, boring and well-trodden already, the dialogue was clunky and strange to the point where even Samuel L Jackson couldn't save the sheer retardness of his liens and character motivations and the values being pushed (like the nurse who will always be in love with the Spirit, even though he is constantly macking on every other girl in the movie all the time) are... peculiar, to say the least. Overall, as much as I enjoy the visual smorgasbords that this guy's put out in the past (Sin City, 300), this one fell a little flat. It was pretty, but it could easily have been better, and that visual appeal in no way could combat the sheer stupidity of the story itself, and the story's execution.
I thought the cop chick was hot as fuck
Also, I would watch Samuel L. Jackson paint a fence, so of course I liked The Spirit
I am incredibly pissed off because I think I may have accidentally thrown away my Birthday card off Samuel L. Jackson.
Watching across the universe, epic movie : )
I just watched Push. Meh.
I just watched donkey punch. Someone told me it was a really good scary movie, but it ended up being an almost porno.
I'm watching the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. In blu-ray, though. Don't judge me.
I judged you.Quote:

I'm not a big comic book guy, but my understanding of Wolverine's origins were that he was held captive in a base somewhere in the Rockies and was experimented on for years, where his bones were slowly replaced with adamantium versions. That's not exactly how the movie portrayed it, and I was disappointed that they opted for a quick 5 minute origin scene rather than work up the horror of Wolverine's tortured past.
The other scene wasboobs
Aside from that, I really liked it. I somehow looked past the clichés and overused tropes and saw something ultimately entertaining in the film itself. The dialogue seemed pretty ok, and they managed to make Liev Schreiber look and sound like a badass, which is impressive enough in my books (probably just a personal view where i never saw him that way), although I would have liked to see more anger in Hugh Jackman's portrayal, but that's just nitpicking.
I watched S. Darko tonight. One of the worst movie's I've ever seen.
Wolverine doesn't really get angry until after he loses his memory, lol. But no, his bones were coated in adamantium all at once, it wasn't a slow process. The adamantium bullet was a bit much for me, Gambit wasn't Cajun, and Deadpool got bastardized at the end, but other than that it was pretty ok.
It did well enough that we are getting a Deadpool spin-off movie, so I am pretty happy about that.
Yeap.Quote:

the adamantium bullet isn't so bad, but i had no idea wolverine's quickhealing powers included fixing his brain when it had 4 bullets in it.
Oh, i know what the movie told me about his bones, but i had thought his origin story was different, but i guess it depends on whose comics you go by (i don't know any)
Wolverine is pretty much immortal. He's regenerated from being just a skeleton before. Like, no flesh no nothing. Even comic book fans thought that that was a little much though, lol.
I have hated the X-men movies thus far but I really want to see Wolverine for the simple fact that a review I read called it "clawesome".
Fucking clawesome!
non-canon has the Hulk killing him by ripping him in halfQuote:

This news makes me happier than I was before.
how can he say 'shhh' his fuckin mouth got fused together like neo's when he was being interrogated by the agents for the first time.
Well, he did get his head slashed off by Wolverine, it is pretty likely his mouth got cut back open.
also come on it's fucking x-men his mouth can goddamn reopen.
this is true i am questioning a mouth reopening when i just watched a dude get shot in the face point blank twice and three times in the back of the head but he still got up later and was ready to fuck shit up
Deadpool is not an X-man
coq, at one point in the comics he survives an atomic blast and reheals. Outside of Magneto ripping the adamantium out of his body, there's few scenes where Wolverine is in risk of dying
I meant it more as the movie was an X-men movie, not Deadpool being an X-man.Quote:

Except Superman is a goody two-shoes. Wolverine is kind of... rebel with a cause.
Just saw Wolverine, too. I liked it. Had some plot holes but overall I liked it. Good action scenes.
fucking wolverineQuote:

I watched Quantum of Solace last night. The plot was fucking stupid but the movie was still entertaining.

I'm about to watch Old School. Never seen it before but my nickname at work is Blue so I figure I might as well check out the movie.
Just saw Star Trek. I really liked it, thought it was really well done, and incredibly entertaining.
Watched Wall-E earlier this week. I haven't been so entertained and moved by an animated movie since Toy Story. Wall-E is memorable.
BOB has the best laugh ever it makes me laugh.Quote:
