Gattaca

I know it's a little out there, but I do like the premise and the actors/actresses.

 

[Aurora Black]

I tend to get so engrossed in the story that I don't pay much attention to the music.

I love movie scores, so I can't help but keep an ear out for the themes in each scene.

I saw Gattaca a few years ago, but for the life of me I can't remember much of what happened in it. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it when it first came out. I'll probably rent it out at some point to refresh my memory.

Anything with Neeson in it is a pleasure to watch, in my opinion.

Even that otherwise awful Star Wars movie.

NCIS Season One - All 23 episodes. Prolly one of the greatest shows on the idiot box.

NCIS?

I've been out of the country too long, I know.

Naval Criminal Investigative Service. It was a spin off of JAG. Season one started Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Sasha Alexander as Kate Todd and David McCallum as "Ducky"...NCIS.

"Ducky"? *lips twitching at the corners in silent laughter*

 

[AchtungNight]

NCIS is also a great show IMO. Let's not forget Pauley Perrette as Abby the hot Goth forensics technician.

Eight Below.

It was actually good... I like that it was inspired by a true story... although it did make me cry in a few spots!

How could we!

Although I'm not personally into goth I do like the character, perky and offbeat and oh so intelligent. And then there is McGee the Computer nerd/proby.

It was a heartbreaking moment when Kate(Sasha Alexander) was killed.

[dirtyjoe69]

thriller

skeleton key-good ending

last night i watched The Cell the first time. Visual masterpiece! Not bad story either.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

Oh, good, you can tell me if it's safe to rent--do any dogs die? Dogs dying will make me throw things at the television and want to kill movie producers, so I don't watch such movies. I've never gotten over my 7th grade horrible experience with Where the Red Fern Grows.

uhh... I'll PM you...

and all of them last night?



Hey, I've got The Matador and Syriana here... anyone else seen 'em? opinions? (no spoilers tho, please! )

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Finally saw "Memoirs of a Geisha".

Last night watched "A snake of June".

 

[rgraham666]

Last week I saw Ultraviolet. It should have been called Ultraviolent, cuz it was.

Very stylishly filmed. Well choreographed fight scenes. A quarter way interesting plot. If you're not looking for something deep, this might be a good way to spend an afternoon.

Very cool was the 'dimensional compression' technology. One scene, Violet is walking down a hall with a gun in each hand and ammo is feeding into them from little portals near her wrists. Handy.

Monday I saw Death Trance. Best way to describe this is it is a cross between Mad Max and Lone Wolf and Cub.

One of the ending scenes reminded me of Moorcock. One of the protagonists is standing on a ruined Earth under a strange sky, and dead angels are falling around him. Creepy. Again, a decent way to waste an afternoon.

 

[AppleBiter]

Last night, we tried to watch The Hills Have Eyes. After half an hour of being really bored and NOTHING scary happening, we turned it off. I know I can't give a fair review, because I haven't seen the whole thing, but if the first half hour was like that, I don't exactly care about the rest. Blech. This movie gets four froggies, 'cause it sucked.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

I just saw Kill Bill for the first time. That final duel: The beautiful, highly dramatic, vaguely spaghetti-western, slight Spanish-accent music accompanying the first 90 seconds or so, and the videography of the scene itself - slow-mo snowflakes, the light, the choreography - it was breathtaking. I replayed those 90 seconds a bunch of times with the volume cranked.

Tarentino is a genius. A quirky, disturbed genius perhaps (or perhaps not), but a genius nevertheless.

We made it all the way through... barely... really not good... really, really not

Kill Bill... now, that one, I just couldn't make it through, Tarantino or not... I did manage to get all the way through Hostel, though...

Watched it last nite, way cool effect. Was a little bored with it, though it was a nice little escape from reality flick.

 

[English Lady]

NCIS is also a great show IMO. Let's not forget Pauley Perrette as Abby the hot Goth forensics technician.

My hubby luuurrrves Abby -I wrote him a kinda Abby erotic story for valentines day


Okay, DVDs.

I watched two last night.

The Medallion - with the bizarre combo of Lee Evans and Jackie Chan was very good -mindless action, but my goodness, it takes your breath away watching Jackie's moves! I'd say this was a good film to watch with older kids ( 10 plus mebbe?) and I really enjoyed it.

I then watched

So I married An Axe Murderer - Mike Myers in his early days. Very funny, very cooky, very entertaining.

 

[AchtungNight]

EL: Don't forget Claire Forlani was also in The Medallion. She made that movie work for me, as she usually does. Other great films of hers include The Rock, Meet Joe Black, and Mallrats.

Meet Joe Black is one of my all time favorite movies. Who wouldn't love "dancing with death?"

*smiles*

Hustle and Flow 2.5 on a 1-5 scale. It was interesting and held my attention but not much happened.

Lackawanna Blues 4.5. This story really worked for me. It was a full story with colorful characters and a message that I loved.

Swimming With Sharks 2 I expected funny and it was. I didn't expect and still don't understand or believe the twist at the end. *grr*

Swingers 0 It didn't hold my interest. I turned it off within the first 30 minutes.

Red Eye 3.5 A surprisingly good thriller for something that appears in it's trailor to take place in a plane.

Shark Boy and Lava Girl. 2 So pathetically silly it is often funny. It does have a nice underlining message though.

[AchtungNight]

There was only one way to make Red Eye better IMO. Put in snakes. Get some motherfucking snakes onto that motherfucking plane! {pauses} Wait, I forgot- they already had Cillian Murphy.
