any John Woo fans out there?
just re-watched 2 of his old school classics, "The Killer" & "A Better Tomorrow"... if you like movies with some good ol' fashioned ass kicking gun fights, you will love these movies (so what that the script & plots are so cheesy & the guns magically never seem to run out of bullets... that's not the point of John Woo movies) After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

That movie is phenomenal, but the plot components are completely ****ed. I definitely recommend it too, but everyone be forewarned DLeethal wrote:

saw 6- i am not a huge saw fan but i knew the 5th movie was garbage and this movie needed to get back to basics. this movie did in a big way as one of the strongest entry of the series. the amazing thing is how sick are the writers for making these gruesome traps. it divulge the story with the right pace and the "game pieces" are unfolding in great fashion. very good with a good ending like the first three. this series is officially back.
whiteout- good but predictable murder mystery. the scenery and location of this movie is the real star as you can literally fell yourself frozen as the are walking in sub zero weather. the action and suspense is average and i figured out the ending in the middle of the story so nothing new. but kate beckinsale was great and convincing as the heroine ( not to mention gorgeous to look at). decent but not a must see. halloween 2 ( zombies version)- i dont know why i wanted to see this when i was very disappointed with the first one but i did and this one was worse. first, the characters are all stereotypical trash that you really dont care what happens to them since they curse like crazy and annoy. only the sheriff is someone that you marginally care about because brad douriff gave a better performance than this movie deserves. you know, zobie as a director is awful. devils reject was the only decent movie and then he ruins this franchise with his warped trash image making micheal myers nothing more than a trailer park serial killer. unbelievable. zack and miri makes a porno- kevin smith does it again. great movie with good characters. despite the title, this is a romance comedy that has so much heart and touching moments that it should be watched on valentines day. however, it is hilarious, especially the dialogue, though very vulgar in usual smith style. highly recommended. |

saw a few movies this wknd - Downloaded Sherlock Holmes and a Korean flick called Mother.
SH - movie was entertaining as hell. a bit of a deviation from the classic holmes character (ie: rbd jr plays SH on roids) - in the classic stories, holmes was never portrayed as the steven segal type who can kick your ass 500 different ways, but nontheless, the movie was fun and downey always turns in a good performance. andy garcia as blackwood was pretty cool too. cant waut for the sequel to find out who the hell moriarty is.

Did anyone here see "The Fall"? I don't knwo why that film just popped into my head, but it did, and it is my favorite film of the past few years. Anyway, the main character tells this girl this great fairy tale in the hospital... you hate why he is telling the story but you want him to finish because of the cinematgraphy and the grandeur of the story. Very, very interesting

I saw "Fists of Legend" awhile back and just an FYI to all that it is a remake of "Fists of Fury" by Bruce Lee. I agree one of the best martial arts movie I have ever seen as well.
I have Mongol but have not gotten a chance to watch it. I will try to see it. Thanks TMS. |

I am not sure if any here likes to watch cartoons but I just watched "Planet Hulk" with my 2 sons and it was pretty entertaining.

I just saw Daybreakers (TMS recommended in this thread) and it did not disappoint. A totally different take or path from the common vampire stories, at least from what I have seen. Very interesting but I thought they could have done a little more. It seemed Sam Neill's talent could have been exploited more, but it is a very good flick.
