This thread is about sharing your opinions on movies you've seen or want to.

Recently I've watched:

Hancock
It was pretty good but it dragged and didn't make much sense.

Wall-E
Amazing pixar movie, great CGI and even better storyline.

The Ruins
Psychopathic plant....what can I say?

The Dark Knight
Everyone loves the role of the Joker and now I know why.

Meet Dave
Awful comedy with pretty good Eddie Murphy performance.

The X-files: I want to believe
Typical X-files style but the plot was a little thin.

Hell boy 2: The golden army
MUCH better than the original. More fights, scarcasm and fire.

I'm sorry for not giving full and decent reviews. But basically that summed it for those films.

If you haven't yet seen Tropic Thunder you have not lived.

I shall watch it right now.

If you want to see God doing hand stands and smelling flowers, not to mention the Buddy Christ then you have to watch Dogma..

I loved that movie.

Jay and silent Bob are funny.

Dogma was great. What made it better was the fact that is was written and directed by Kevin Smith, a Catholic. When a load of Catholics started protesting the movie, he decided to go protest it with them.

Let's just show them the clip on the documentary "The god who wasn't there" about The Passion Of the Christ being a very bloody and voilent movie and the most popular religious film in the world.

I've just watched Mirrors.

God dammit it's a scary movie. And almost all horrors don't effect me at all.

Probably because when I was little I used to think if I moved away from a mirror the reflection would still be looking at me as if it wasn't me.

This is exactly what happened in Mirrors.

Basically a mirror is haunted with the evil spirit of a schizophrenic girl and it forces anyone who looks into the mirror to find her so the evil spirit can go back into the girl, if you fail it kills their families and eventually them.

In the 50's the girl at an institution was put in a room filled with mirros to try and cure her. It worked but she kept seeing weird things in mirrors and she eventually found herself in a monastery where mirrors are not allowed.

Then after the mirrors killed all the patients in the institute 2 days after she left it was closed and a mall was put there with the mirror room still intact. Eventually the mall got burnt down by one of the mirros victims in an attempt to destroy the mirrors because if you try and smash them they go back together.

The main charactor tries to solve the mystery after the mirrors kill his sister. It kills you by the reflection killing itself and you feel the effects. The sister dies by doing her hair then going for a bath, but the reflection is still looking at her. The reflection grabs it's own jaw and rips it open and as this is happening the sister is experiencing it.

So eventually our hero puts the schizophrenic girl back in the room and all the mirros break after a small explosion and his family are saved. However the evil personality does go back into the schizophrenic.

She turns into a monster like creature and has a duel with the hero. He apparently wins and wakes up in rubble with no schizo in sight. Then he see's that no one is paying attention to him and all the words, building etc are backwards (including the cut on his hand)

Then he finds himself trapped inside the mirrors.

I think that's how it went I wasn't paying too much attention.

I loved the premise of Hancock:
The guy's got superpowers, but he can't remember why he has them or who he is. So his powers are not something he wants or feels any obligation to use for good.
So he's a grouchy wino, and because whenever he uses his powers in his begrudging, bad-attitude style, he cause mayhem and destruction. The people of the city hate him, and he doesn't care.
A man he saves decides to give him an image makeover and help him find his self-respect.

It goes downhill after you discover the girl, but the plot had great potential.

Will Smith is great too.

The public relations executive called Ray Embrey tries to give Hancock a good reputation so he can save people without causing carnage, they succeed. Embrey's wife Mary is also a superhero.

3000 years ago Mary and Hancock were made together and when they're close to eachother they lose their powers.

In the 1920's they were walking down the road and Hancock got a concussion and lost his memory. Mary ditched Hancock and now has a family.

Hancock finds out she's a superhero and tries to find answers about his past.

However from being around Mary too much he gets shot and ends up in hospital.

3 convicts that Hancock arrested come after him, Mary gets shot and Hancock in a weakened state battles them. Mary dies just before he defeats them. Then Hancock flys off and Mary is brought back to life.




I also watched Tropic Thunder today. It wasn't very good.
