Dirtydutch 8 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I just watched Shooter with Mark Whalberg. A lot of it was predictable, but it was entertaining.I felt like the movie needed more scenes where Marky Mark shoots down helicopters with a rifle. But I said the same thing about Sabrina, so take from it what you will. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 my mom, for some reason, likes movies better when they are based on a true story. I always found that amusing.Then she's gotta LOVE lifetime movies. I felt like the movie needed more scenes where Marky Mark shoots down helicopters with a rifle. But I said the same thing about Sabrina, so take from it what you will.I was really(x4) hoping he would sprain his ankle when he was setting up the mile long sniper shot in the mountains just to see if it was possible, so that his dog would have to run and get help. It would have made the set up of the movie much more enjoyable for me. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Fiddler on the Roof. What a great movie!One Christmas, our local indy theater had a showing of Fiddler on the Roof at like 8 pm on Christmas day. It was put on by the local Synagogue. I went with a jewish friend of mine, and I got super baked, and I was probably part of the 3 percent goy minority in the crowd. The theater was packed with drunk, rowdy jews, defiantly celebrating their judaism in the face of Christmas, Inc. People were in costume, people got up and danced during songs, everyone sang along. It was like a jewish Rocky Horror Picture Show Maybe the best chistmas I've ever had, and made me want to marry a jewish girl just so I could have an excuse to convert.As a rule, I'm not a big musical fan, but I love Fiddler.

freak2304 0 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 The wife and I caught Saved! late last night. It was an interesting movie and as someone who had a little thing for Mandy Moore back in the day, it kept my interest for a bit. Seeing Maculay (sp?) Culkin again was pretty cool too. Not a bad "find on a movie channel one boring night and watch" movie. Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtydutch 8 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Saved was surprisingly good.I thought it was kinda' safe and cliche, but I have a huge boner for the chick who played the main character. I have ever since her role in Dangerous Live of Alter Boys, where she was crewing her brother. Such an erotic concept. Link to post Share on other sites

I've lived in the Seattle area my whole life, but that was the first time I'd ever really gotten out there. It seems like a pretty cool place to live.Speaking of movies most recently seen; I watched Windy City Heat last week. Meh. I stumbled across Chris Rock's "I Think I Love My Wife" today... uber-meh.

I've lived in the Seattle area my whole life, but that was the first time I'd ever really gotten out there. It seems like a pretty cool place to live.well, it has it's good points and bad points, as all places do. Overall, it's an extremely cool small town. Olympia itself has less than 50,000 (the county has in the 250-300,000 range, I would guess). I would wager there are few towns in the country as small as olympia that are anywhere near as cool. But, ultimately, it's still a town, not a city. It's a little too far from Seattle, suffers from mono-culturalism ( though there is a sizable Vietnamese minority in town) and is the college town for the most liberal college I've ever been around, so it's a very Green, hippy town, for better or worse. Depends what stuff you're into, if you like it or not. It has a lot of cool little shops, lots of excellent places to eat, great coffee houses, the best pound for pound comic book shop I've ever been too ( meaning for it's floor space, not for the weight of the owners/patrons). I really liked it, but definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Link to post Share on other sites
Franchise632 0 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Drillbit Taylor....it was part of a triple feature at the drive in last night along with Iron Man and The Ruins...stayed through Drillbit and then we left before The Ruins started as neither of us had any desire to watch it and it wouldnt have gotten over til after 3am. Drillbit Taylor wasn't all that bad. Highly predictible but with glimpses of humor thrown in. I did connect with the T-Dog character cause i was a smart ass fat kid when i was in high school (still am, just not in high school) so that made it a little bit better. Not a great movie but passable. I posted it in the other thread but Iron Man is awesome and last night was the second time I saw it this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 LantanaI have no idea why I ordered this but I'm certainly glad I did. The direction and editing hold the scenes together in a way that allow the different sub-plots to flow in and out of each other very well. The acting is simply fantastic. I think it's the acting that makes this movie go from average at best to well above average. It still doesn't achieve "film" status in my mind but that's a pretty high mark to hit. I'd say it's kind of an Englishman's Crash. Link to post Share on other sites

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I finally saw attonement, and boy, I have to say It was so much better than I thought it would be. I didn't know what it was about, I thought it was another WW2 love story a la the English Patient or something. But it's.. really remarkable. Any other year, it probably crushes for best picture. But the field was too strong...Really well done and completely surprising movie, two snaps up with a twist.I felt the exact same way. I was sort of dragged by a friend and was expecting it to be some crappy romance movie. I thought it was totally incredible and I loved every second of it. Link to post Share on other sites
