Current Movies

“Oh, I thought you meant this movie...”

“Monster House was great, wonderful story and pretty creepy.”

“whoops, is this a thread for movies currently in the theaters? My bad. Anyhoo, I just read the original script for the island. I think this would have been a good movie too.

“I so wanted to see Talladega Nights on premier night in Talladega, AL. They have a 3 screen theatre and I'll bet it would have been quite the cultural experience to watch it there. My anniversary was this past weekend, so we didn't see the movie. We did hear the fireworks from the track Sat night. I guess they had a viewing there and did fireworks afterwards.

Help me Jesus, help my Jewish God, help me Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft....”

“we saw The Night Listener and The Lady in the Water this weekend...two movies with a baby, how brave are we??!!...he worked out pretty good for both

the night listener was kind of disappointing...kind of anticlimactic but it was a true story so maybe that's why

the lady in the water was great...i loved it...classic M. Knight Shamalamadingdong...if you like his other movies, particularly The Village, you'll love this one”

“loved the sixth sense and unbreakable. thought the village started out really fantastic but thought the ending was really cheap”

“unbreakable is one of my favorite movies...i'm not even sure i realized it was one of his”

“M. Knight Shamalamadingdong? HAHA! That's what my wife and I call him too! I thought it was a great movie. I knew going in there was no big twist which made it more relaxing because I wasn't sitting there trying to figure it out.

I want to see Clerks II and Talladaga Nights next.”

“�loved the sixth sense and unbreakable. thought the village started out really fantastic but thought the ending was really cheap�


I agree totally with this statement. I'm going to go shoot myself in the head.”

“have a nice day”

“Let me just say this right up front; I am a huge Will Ferrell fan.

Now, I must say that Talladega Nights was just about the worst piece of cinematic retardation I have ever sat through. I love a good dumb movie but this wasn�t even very funny. I�m also a Nascar fan so I get all the insinuations to it but it just wasn�t funny.


Now his new movie Stranger Than Fiction looks much better.

“We saw The Descent last weekend. My daughter has been plotting her revenge on dear sweet dad ever since.

WHOA! Big WHOA! I can't put it in the same category as Alien, because Alien is my gold standard for scary movies. But The Descent. SERIOUSLY ROCKS!

THREE THUMBS UP!

“Anyone see "Open Season" yet?

I saw it last week and thought it was pretty good. I especially liked the squirrel.”

“How about The Prestige? Looks pretty awesome from the previews. 1st movie I've wanted to see in a while.”

“the prestige is directed by christopher nolan, same guy that directed batman begins (as well as insomnia and memento). i was going to see it this past weekend, but i had to go backpacking, doggone it!”

“Don't you hate it when backpacking ruins the weekend for you? ;-)”

“is anybody else as sick of the borat hype as i am. this guy wasnt funny in da ali g show, and this doesnt look funny either.

seriously, how played out is the "weird foreign guy"? very. kaufman made everyone else look like amateurs”

“he stole all his ideas from a comedian in the 90s

he's a hack”

“i could be wrong. ive seen crappy movies that looked great in the previews, and vice versa. but for the most part, i usually have pretty good sense of whether or not im going to like a movie from the previews.

one movie i was wrong about was ghost dog. i thought it looked cheesy as hell, but i rented it one time on a lark (cuz i was in the mood for cheese, i guess), and ended up liking it alot”

“Hype? I must have missed something. I think I've only seen 2 or 3 ads for the movie.”

“stuff can be hyped w/o paid ads”

“True, but at least in my area, you'd barely know there is even a movie. I've heard more about it on this site than any place else. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock or something.”

“I saw "Borat" yesterday. Check your brain and sensibilities at the door. Occassionally very funny and very tired at times. The reactions of the people he fools are the best. It is a short film, so you can go squeeze in a good movie while you are at the theater.”

“One quote I saw about the movie is that you are pretty hard hearted if you are still laughing at the end. I didn't laugh much past the first 20 minutes.

“Sorry but I know some people who spent time in Kazak...I will not be seeing the movie. I think it is typical Hollywierd lack of PC. If a guy from where ever did the same thing with say a black (say with Blackface) or other "protected minroity" you can be sure the Holly Wierds would drum him out. But WHITE, European (i.e. Caucasian type) is open season.”

“He's a bit anti-Semitic but I'll still see it. He is hilarious and I all the characters from Da Ali G Show. Bruno kind of reminds me of lumberzac.”

“Not sure if it was mentioned in a previous thread, but I saw "One Night With the King" last weekend and was pleasantly surprised. It is based on the story of Esther from the Old Testament, but embellished a little for Hollywood and our modern society. Considering I was not expecting much, I was very impressed.

Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif were in the movie...first time they have been in the same movie since Lawrence of Arabia.”

“Phil - I took my bible study group to see that (we're studying Esther now). I was surprised to, aside from some cheesy acting, it was good.”

““He's a bit anti-Semitic but I'll still see it. He is hilarious and I all the characters from Da Ali G Show. Bruno kind of reminds me of lumberzac.”

I don't know what the Da Ali G Show is or who Bruno is, but I'm guessing this can't be a good comment.”

“Heehee! Just watch the vid.

Stove Stomper and Dayhiker should watch it too. LOL!

“Well that does help any. My computer doesn't have any sound (no speakers).”

“Oh, well then, he is a gigolo from Austria who goes around interviewing guys about chicks. Yeah, that's it.”

“My friend wanted to go see "Borat" last week...I told him I'm not seeing that even if someone paid me.

So we went and saw "The Prestige"....quite a good movie.

Maybe my friend went with some other friends to see "Borat" during the week....I don't know and don't care.”

“Nigal - I'd seen that before. Shaud handled that pretty well when asked if he dated other members of the team. Those redneck boys on the sideline were more worried about him than the game.”

“Haha! I saw some clips from the movie and he was getting a massage from a guy. He was laying on his back with a pitched tent. He apologized for it and asked, "You will finish me, yes?"..."No. I will not."..."I pay you extra, yes?"...."NO! I will not do that.".

This is one of those movies that just makes me so uncomfortable I cringe.”

“those were some pretty tacky clips. not going to get my money! I'd rather spend my money on a nice dinner instead!”

“moonglo - Interesting. I've always like the story of Esther. Time for a good movie about Nehemiah, Daniel, or Joseph (besides the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Shawshank Redemption was "loosely" based on the story of Joseph!)”

“the prestige was amazing... great ending. christian bale is top notch.

a good year wasn't bad either. i love russel crowe, great actor.”

“Has anyone seen Flushed Away?

I love Wallace & Gromit movies, and by the look of this one, I think it's the same people... But, it appears to be digital, which is somewhat disapppointing, since it looses some of the warmth of the claymation...”

“40 Things That Only Happen In Movies
1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting. 2. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.


3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it's aired.


4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.



5. Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paperclip in seconds. UNLESS it's the door to a burning building with a child inside.


6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.


7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.


8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.
9. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off. Even while scuba diving.


10. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.


11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have been suspended from duty).

12. Getaway cars never start first go. But all cop cars do. (They will also slide to a dramatic stop in the midst of a crime scene).



13. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.


14. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched precariously on the dashboard . . .


15. All grocery shopping involves the purchase of French loaves which will be placed in open brown paper bags (Caveat: when said bags break, only fruit will spill out).


16. Cars never need fuel (unless they're involved in a pursuit).



17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.


18. If a microphone is turned on it will immediately feedback.


19. Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. you will always find another one.


20. All single women have a cat.



21. Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet.


22. No matter how savagely a spaceship is attacked, its internal gravity system is never damaged.


23. If being chased through a city you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.


24. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.



25. You will survive any battle in any war UNLESS you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.


26. Prostitutes always look like Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis. They have expensive clothes and nice apartments but no pimps. They are friendly with the shopkeepers in their neighbourhood who don't mind at all what the girl does for a living.


27. A single match is usually sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.


28. It is not necessary to say "Hello" or "Goodbye" when beginning a telephone conversation. A disconnected call can always be restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying "Hello? Hello?" repeatedly.



29. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once (it's called Stallone's Law).


30. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room will still be visible, just slightly bluish.


31. Plain or even ugly girls can become movie star pretty simply by removing their glasses and rearranging their hair. 32. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies with complicated devices incorporating fuses, pulleys, deadly gases, lasers and man-eating sharks.



33. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her.


34. Anyone can land a 747 as long as there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.


35. During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.


36. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.



37. Most musical instruments (especially wind instruments and accordions) can be played without moving your fingers.


38. In Middle America, all gas station attendants have red handkerchiefs hanging out of their back pockets.


39. All teen house parties have one of every stereotypical subculture present (even people who aren't liked and would never get invited to parties).


40. Trucks use their horns at random (no hang on, that happens in real life too!).”

“When Sacha Baron Cohen wanted a village to represent the impoverished Kazakh home of his character Borat, he found the perfect place in Glod: a remote mountain outpost with no sewerage or running water and where locals eke out meagre livings peddling scrap iron or working patches of land.

But now the villagers of this tiny, close-knit community have angrily accused the comedian of exploiting them, after discovering his new blockbuster film portrays them as a backward group of rapists, abortionists and prostitutes, who happily engage in casual incest.

They claim film-makers lied to them about the true nature of the project, which they believed would be a documentary about their hardship, rather than a comedy mocking their poverty and isolation.

Villagers say they were paid just £3 each for this humiliation, for a film that took around £27million at the worldwide box office in its first week of release.

Now they are planning to scrape together whatever modest sums they can muster to sue Baron Cohen and fellow film-makers, claiming they never gave their consent to be so cruelly misrepresented.

Disabled Nicu Tudorache said: This is disgusting. They conned us into doing all these things and never told us anything about what was going on. They made us look like primitives, like uncivilised savages. Now they,re making millions but have only paid us 15 lei [around £3].

Cambridge-educated Baron Cohen filmed the opening scenes of the Borat movie in Glod - a village that is actually in Romania, rather than Kazakhstan, and whose name literally translates as 'mud', last summer.

“so what makes him worse than Michael Moore? Didn't see you doing too much when Moore was misrepresenting people in his movie.”

“Hey, screwing over poor nations is what capitalism is all about!”

“Rosey, great FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELING...LOL.

yeah I remember how much some MAJOR corporations screwed over poor nations. What is it they have SCREWED India and China, South Korea and Japan into almost first world status. (LOL)....

“RIIIGHT...okay..I withdraw my last comment...or maybe not.”

“libbies killed the dinosaurs”

“Whoops! Sorry. I'll adopt my cyborg persona. Assimilate!”
