The Movie Thread
Whats some good movies people have seen lately?
Don't have to be really new even....
I really liked The Last Samurai. It had a really good story I thought, and swords are always cool. I've heard its Tom Cruise's best role? Hmm, to be honest he annoyed me a little, maybe too used to seeing his face, I dunno. But yer, pretty rad movie.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; yer that was ok I guess, pretty weak story line, but worth watching.
The latest movie I saw was "Passion of The Christ" mainly due to the fact I was dragged along with the parentals
However not really being a religious buff myself, I thought it was quiet a powerfull and touching movie, and if you can get over the the fact it's subtitled, it's pretty moving.

Another one I liked was "Underworld"

Gotta love vampires & warewolves 
Lost in Translation..what a gorgeous, beautiful movie. the disconnection and alienation the characters feel is conveyed so successfully. the relationship between scarlett johansson and bill murray seemed so pure, which i really liked. it's a really intimate kind of film; loved the slow pace of it all, although that could be seen as annoying to others. excellent scenery and soundtrack!! mmm...air & my bloody valentine...very nice indeed.
21 Grams was excellent too. incredibly intense and raw. great acting. really liked the non-linear and the multiple perspectives.
Also saw L'auberge Espagnole a few weeks back...cute, fun, heartwarming movie. made me want to move to Barcelona and learn how to speak spanish, hah 
bunch of film critics i see...
Agreed, Last Samurai was good, and especially Lost in Translation - one of the best movies I have seen for the last few years.
"Passion" was okay, and One Perfect Day was'nt that good, besides the music.
Clint Eastwood's Mystic River is highly recommended, the most compelling thing I find about it is that Clint himself co-wrote the original sound track score for the movie. The central theme is based on a simple triad, the basis of a melody that he used to play to he's children!
Movies that I want to see are 21 Grams, Big Fish, and Paycheck.
Can't wait for Kill Bill Vol. 2 too!!!! 
last samurai would have been a lot better if tom cruise wasnt in it.
Passion of The Christ 10/10 ooof I shed some tears watching this film. Well done to Mel Gibson. Whether this film wins an Oscar or not, it doesn't matter, its done its already done its purpose in restoring my Catholic faith.
Jeepers Creepers 2 7/10 An "Okay" sequel
House of 1000 Corpses 6/10 About 3 teenagers who want to found out about an old killer, in some Country town, yet they stumble across a dysfunctional family. A bit scary, though I dunno any of you are gonna take this movie seriously.
Underworld 8/10 Reminds me of Queen of the Damned. Just one of those Matrix scene rip offs except with Vampires & Werewolves.
shattered glass is a movie you should all check out.
i really liked it.
breif, yeh i know, but i just got home
and cant be fuked writing it all.
I hear that "The Butterfly Effect' is worth watching, I havent seen it though so cant say anything more. Also 'The House of 1000 Corpses' is apparently the worst movie ever made..

the butterfly effect is a pretty good movie
Loved Mystic River....refreshing to see a more 'realistic' portrayal of events in a Hollywood movie than is usually the case...and huge thumbs up for the distinct absence of a stereotypical Hollywood resolution to the story....
Lost in Translation I also loved....but this is definitely a love or hate movie - I haven't seen or heard any reviews that were halfway between - I think it's cos it's one of those movies where u really have to have been at a similar point in your life to the characters in the movie.....that feeling of emotional/physical isolation, which sumhow causes a connection with another individual, who u wouldn't ordinarily connect with.......if u've been there, u will love this movie....if u haven't, it might just seem like a boring plodding movie where nothing much really happens.......but, this movie isn't really about a storyline....it's about depicting emotions and states of mind.....the kind of movie where at first you kinda think "this is boring and going nowhere", but then suddenly it clicks, you start to empathise, and u realise what it's really aiming for great stuff!!!
About to watch the 6 hour movie series Angels in America, starring Pacino - scooped the pools at the Golden Globes....no idea what to expect
two great movies that come to mind;
revenge of the nerds: a touching tale about a rag-tag bunch of misfits who overcome society's prejudice against them and prove that they aren't just nerds - they're nerds in a movie.
footloose: a touching tale about a retarded big city kid banished to the pits of dullville and seeks redemption in music by racing traktors and wearing really tight jeans.

Best movie I've seen lately is The Fog of War. Documentary/biopic about Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defence during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the early stages of the Vietnam War. Very thought-provoking movie, highly recommended (though a lot of you might find it boring ).
I thought The Last Samurai wasn't anything special. I can't stand Tom Cruise though, he can't act for shit.
Last night's viewing was American Pie 3, why oh why did this get made? Different writer and director, and it's totally apparent through the whole movie. The original AP was a half-decent movie, the sequel was basically an excuse to get more money, but this one was just shit. Only a handful of laughs, and most of those feel totally laboured and you can see them coming about 5 minutes away. Note to film-makers: disgusting does not equal funny.
but thats the thing, in America disgusting does equal funny sadly
yeah butterfly effect is an awesome movie. i loved it.
actually, i havent enjoyed a movie like i enjoyed the butterfly effect in a long time. definetly check it out
Identity starring John Cussack and Ray Liota is one of the best movies I have ever seen! keeps you guessing throughout. Highly recommended
Other great movies that I have seen lately include The Last Samurai and 25th hour starring Edward Norton (greatest actor of all time)
