Rayzor Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I saw The Godfather, Part III. Is it just me or do they get worse? Even though it was about the 50th time I'd seen it No matter how bad I think it is compared to the other 2 movies, it's still great! 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Premonition topped the suck index at 4/10. What tripe! A decent idea poorly executed and thinly acted. Seemed like the director lost interest 3/4 of the way into the movie. Guess what, so did I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Harry Potter 5: I thought they cut out way too much plot, but apparently my parents, who seem to forget the plot immediately after reading it, thought it was ok. Well directed though. I guess they couldn't really have a 6-hour movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hairspray. 10/10. Colorful and bright with great messages about racial tolerance and following your dreams. Very happy making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I guess they couldn't really have a 6-hour movie. That's EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it. They cut out a lot of the plot, yes... but if they followed the book, the movie would be six hours long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 The Potter Books/Movies (neither of which I've ever read/seen) sound like the perfect choice for a movie medium of many years ago...the serial. A six hour movie? Hell, make it eight and run it over four weeks (months) in serialization at movie theaters. I wonder if that would work today.

Farin Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 well, they already did something like that with "the Lord of the Rings" (3 movies à 3 hours (cinema version) or almost 4 hours on DVD) similar to "Kill Bill" (2 parts) I can't say if it would work with Harry Potter, but I believe that there are enough fans who would make it a commercial success either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 "Ghost Rider"....ehhhh, it wasn't great, and it didn't completely suck out loud. Nicolas Cage....well, he's no Peter Scolari. I don't really remember much of the soundtrack. I watched it late-night, so I dozed off briefly once or twice. I might watch it again. You'd have to decide for yourself. 5 stars out of 10. How's that for an inconclusive review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Night Listener with Robin Williams and Toni Collette. Not sure, very interesting and strange movie. Wasn't what I thought, was hyped as a thriller, that wasn't there, but you did have some questions at the end. I was drawn to the movie due to the fact it was about a radio show host. And it is based on a true story. But didn't live up to the hype. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) "Ratatouille" 8/10. MSO likes "easy movies" like "Thunderbirds," "The Incredibles," and "Shrek." I thought that seeing "hard" movies like "Volver" and "Pan's Labyrinth" via DVD would lead to "La Vie en Rose." but the Edith Piaf biopic left for the sticks before she got around to it. So it's a French gourmet rat instead, an otherwise well done salvage job helmed by Brad Bird. Vive la France, drink the wine and steer clear of the soup!

Rayzor Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I watched "Se7en" for the hundredth time again last night, and this movie just gets better every time! I love it when the good guys don't always win and there isn't some kinda mushy, sappy happy ending. All-star cast and phenomenal story. Clever writing and great direction! 10/10!!

skybluesky Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 there isn't some kinda mushy, sappy happy ending I don't know. Brad Pitt gets a nice gift at the end. Present giving and receiving is always kind of sappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've seen it a few times, though not recently. When I was a Lit student I was very much into all the symbolism of Dante and the seven deadly sins in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otokichi Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) "The Last Mimsy" 8/10 I was at Sam's Club, considering DVDs, reaching for "Band of Brothers" or "The Astronaut Farmer," when I decided on Something Completely Different. So, "Amelie" and "TLM" came home instead. Older brother is an average student, younger sister is a genius...then they find something in the water, and both are changed to prepare them for an unspecified quest. A great film for the family, and for low level SF fans. Hmm, what's Alice Lidell holding in that photo? Edited July 28, 2007 by Guest They don't go to trial after all.

Although Godfather II is a good flick, I think it can't hold a candle to the first... but that's just IMHO. The first 2 are still far better than III...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Cinderella Man, directed by Ron Howard staring Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger. The story of New Jersey boxer James Braddock from the 1930's. This was a wonderful story. You laugh, cry, cheer and enjoy every moment of this movie. If you haven't seen this movie and even if you aren't a fan of boxing, check it out. I want to watch it again, beautiful film. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
