brvheart 1,755 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Network. Really good movie. You really just need to watch all the scenes with Peter Finch. The scenes with Faye Dunaway and William Holden were reallllly dragging by the end of the movie. Peter Finch was incredible. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,755 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The Fighter.Very good. It was obvious why Bale won best actor about 5 minutes into the movie. Bale has to be at the top of any acting ability list. He is un.be.liv.able in this movie. When he cries at the end credits I was like "...". Amazing actor. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,755 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Law Abiding Citizen.Jamie Foxx and Gerald Butler.I liked it. There was very standard incredibly stupid action movie type stuff, like Foxx playing a lawyer breaking into a building and searching it. Finding a hidden tunnel and going through it, instead of... you know... calling the cops or something. He also takes a bomb across town in heavy traffic in about 30 seconds and hides it in a prison cell. You know... standard lawyer stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,723 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-pr...oys-aliens-failinterestingly i did notice during the credits that the screenplay was by 6 or 7 people and immediately knew that couldnt be a good thing. my favoirite part of the movie is that these aliens have traveled the vast reaches of space to steal our gold. and why are they after our gold? because it's rare to them too. oh really? that explains everthing.

El Guapo 8 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I watched the winning season with Sam Rockwell. He is a drunk dead beat dad who apparently was a pretty good High School player, went on to coach but something happened. The movie starts with him busing tables and stealing food and half drunk beers while cleaning up. He is given the head coach job for the girls varsity team. It's kind of a cliche movie, but it has some really funny parts in it. It's not going to blow you away, but it's very worth the watch. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Network. Really good movie. You really just need to watch all the scenes with Peter Finch. The scenes with Faye Dunaway and William Holden were reallllly dragging by the end of the movie. Peter Finch was incredible.Absolutely one of my all-time favs. The (more) recent release has some good features, such as better audio (although confusing audio is a necessary factor in certain scenes) and somewhat crisper picture.Peter Finch was so good in this movie it alsmot defies description. Robert Duvall is in this one, also, playing a network exec and he really sinks his teeth into the role.The overall message is quite prescient regarding the onslaught of reality TV and does a great job of illustrating the underlying agendas inherent to what TV is trying to get across.

I don't like when movies try to have violence and they half ass it. This movie definitely did not half ass the violence.I'm really upset that Cowboys and Aliens sucked. I haven't seen it yet but all I've heard is "It's ok" to "It sucked." I was really looking forward to it and I thought it would be good since Jon Favreau was involved. After I see Planet of the Apes there is really nothing coming out soon that I'm interested in seeing. Why have all movies ranged from shitty to only decent lately? Link to post Share on other sites
frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Rise of the Planet of the ApesI saw it this weekend. Really enjoyed it, it's a good summer movie. And best of all--no 3D.The HelpI read the book earlier this year, and enjoyed it. I did not like the movie, they really dumbed down all of the themes that I responded to. The soundtrack made me angry, why o why are the same songs picked over and over for a certain time period? Blech. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,755 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Restrepo. Awesome doc.I think it makes the US look reallly good. They are constantly going out of their way to talk to town elders and repay for losses of the people. Should be required viewing for all democrats like Silent Snow that think our soldiers are all pieces of shit. Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 skyline.hmm, 4/10 on ole imdb. (oh, look, even worse on ro-to.) really, guys? REALLY?okay, so the characters aren't fully fleshed out, but that is true of quite a few sf/thriller type thingies. i thought the performances were well within the acceptable zone. they aren't heroic, but this isn't THAT kind of movie. they're fairly normal people faced with an impossible situation-- here, the aliens who crossed vast distances don't die/flee from a drop of water nor does the military really stand much of a chance .i think i may have liked this in anticipation of liking the ape rising flick, ie seeing humanity drop the ball... i think i'm in a rather pessimistic phase .7/10, and anyone who says i rate too many movies in this numerical ballpark can go to hell .

CindyLou 11 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 JLL is right Tanner. You just missed it. It's exactly like Back to the Future 2. Just watch that movie and Doc Brown will explain it to you. He is now living in an alternate universe.Alternate universe/time travel explanation is boring.I like to think of it more in Inception terms. Levels upon levels. SC is based on the last 8 minutes of someone's life. JG was plugged into the SC and died precisely after living the 8 minutes of SC. This created a new level of SC because JG's last 8 minutes was SC. So JG's consciousness, or "soul" if you want, was transferred into this next level of SC. The original universe reality remains the same. JG is dead, SC is a success. "Source Code JG" thinks he's in another timeline, but he's really just in a simulation within SC. I don't think anything about the ending is specifically laid out for us, so I'm not saying you're wrong or that there can even be a wrong answer. I just think my answer is more fun.

king_tanner 84 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Planet of the ApesDefinitely was not what I expected out of a Planet of the Apes movie... with that said I really liked it. The development of Caeser was fun to watch. My only complaint: I would like to have seen a little more development of the other ape characters. Like the gorilla and the pissed off looking ape from the lab. I also thought Brian Cox would have delivered a better "DAMN DIRTY APES LINE." Draco's was weak. At first I was disappointed at the lack of talking, but when Caeser finally did talk it made that scene really awesome... so I was ok with that. Link to post Share on other sites
