The I Just Saw Thread

[Hatake Kakashi]

It was gory. And it wasn't that bad.

Magmar the games are confusing, too. So...

[Mega Horny]

Did it have bloodied bunny heads?

[Magmar]

no but it did have plenty of fun with barbed wire!

I just saw United 93. It was well made.

[Mega Horny]

lol, like Ghost Ship. By far one of the funniest scenes of gore was in the crappy, original Resident Evil movie when they were trapped in the white laser hallway. Lol.

[D!]

The last movie I watched was Monty Python And The Holy Grail..

[Mega Horny]

lol, late bloomer. What did you think?

[D!]

I've seen it many times..
I might actually be doing a school play on the scene with the witch..

I can't remember the name of the last movie I watched..
It was a Ghibli movie..
About raccoons standing up to the humans, as humans continue to destroy forests and make life hard for the raccoons..
I enjoyed it very much..
I'll find the name of it as soon as I can..
I reccommend it..
It's on the 2nd Studio Ghibli Disc..

[Magmar]

I just saw The Omen and it was BORING

That's Pom Poko, and you're right. It's excellent.

Speaking of which, I recently saw Over the Hedge, which, despite the bad rap Dreamworks has been getting for their really bad animated movies here lately, was actually really, really good. It harkened back to the old Disney movies, only computer-animated, which I'm not particularly fond of, but I made an exception for it like I did with Monsters, Inc. once upon a time. It was really well done for an animated film, though I think it could have been longer with a smidge more detail, but serious character fanatics like me can have a field day anyway, because for some reason, at least a few of the characters are really well developed. This is kind of an odd thing for an animated movie and I was pretty shocked to see it.

I'd highly reccomend it for anyone out there who likes animated movies in general. It's probably not for everyone, but it's pretty good in its own right.

Haha, thanks dude.
The Disc was all Japanese except for the subtitles..

Over The Hedge isn't out here, I don't think..
It looks good..
And yea, Dreamworks did bad with Madagascar (sp?)..
I didn't necessarily enjoy that movie..
Ice Age and Robots was good, so I want to see Over The Hedge as soon as possible..
*has no one to go to the movies with to see it because all friends are 'too mature' for such movies but still use the word 'poop'*

Toy Story 1 is as good as Monsters Inc, you must admit.

[kawaiispinel]

Ehhh, I was never really a big fan of Toy Story. The only Pixar movies I really liked were Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo for some reason. I'll give Toy Story the props it deserves for kick-starting this whole computer-animed movie thing, even if I wish computer animation and regular animation would co-exist like it used to. *Sigh*

I think the reason I give Over the Hedge such major props is because it was had a perfect example of a well-developed anti-hero which you never get in children's movies. (Unless I've missed something, but I don't have a broad definition of an anti-hero. They have to fit very strict requirements before I'll fully believe they're an anti-hero or at least make a darn good anti-hero impression that makes them open to exception.)

I prefer Disney's Pixar films to its original classic films, the only exception being Beauty And The Beast - although that was partly done on computer (ball-room scene)..
I mainly prefer the Pixar films because they're hilarious, moreover the fact that they look much better than the original films..
I'd absolutely love to get all the Disney Pixar movies.. (god bless Utorrent and my internet connection)

[Magmar]

I just watched Sky High, it was such a good film.

(The Japanese film, not the Disney shizz!)

[kawaiispinel]

I saw The Lake House with two of my friends. It was okay, I suppose. I'd reccomend seeing it with crazy friends to make it bearable if you're not into chick flicks, which I'm not. It made my entire night when my friend Alex stood up at the very end and screamed belligerently, "I am going to slit my wrists now!" Best reaction to a movie ending ever.

[Mega Horny]

I just saw Hide and Seek. Stupid movie, wasn't scary and barely made sense. If anyone has seen it, can you explain why the girl had two heads in the picture at the end?

Her father had multiple personality disorder. You're led to believe that the trauma of the whole ordeal affected the little girl psychologically and she, too, developed multiple personality disorder and will eventually become as crazy as her father.

That's how I interpreted it anyway...

[Mega Horny]

ooo ok. thx.

[Silencer]

That movie didn't make any sense at all. Hardly scary and kind off predictable. The only person in the house that could do stuff at night was Dad or the little girl (that was always around) but how would a little girl kill much larger people with pure strenght?

[Crazy]

Click, the MOVIE F'ING STUNK. The only things that kept me interested were Christopher Walkin (spell that right?) and that fine actress from Underworld who looked quite nice in the movie. Twas just the usual Adam Sandler crap.

[Magmar]

I just saw Click and thought it was hilarious but a little what's the word... I forgot... sappy. The dog was hilarious.

[Jeff]

Saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, cool movie.

Alot of cool scenes, like where (Spoiler:) Jack escapes from his handcuffs towards the end, not to escape from the kraken, but to stand defiantly in front of it and be eaten by it instead of sunk to the bottom of the sea. Nice little suprise ending to set up for the third and final chapter too.

Oh and a certain scene involving Elizabeth and Jack might silence anyone who has jokingly called the series "Butt Pirates of the Caribbean".

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I just saw Superman returns, its an ok movie but I wouldn't watch it again.

[Mega Horny]

I don't want any spoilers. but why wouldn't you watch it again?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

It was just a bit boring for my tastes and a little too predictable in some parts.

[Crazy]

Just saw Pirates of the Caribbeanead Man's Chest. An excellent movie, better than the first.

[Magmar]

Pirates!
It was great!

I also just SAW Bowling for Soup and Lucky Boys Confusion, AHHHHH they were amazing.

[Mega Horny]

I just saw Pirates. Long, and slightly anti-climactic, but still, an awesome movie. [not-really-a-spoiler]I loved that Hammerhead guy, he was so cool![/not-really-a-spoiler]

And superman. It was really good, but i liked Batman Begins much more, regardless of the fact that I like Superman more as a hero.

[Silencer]

They just aired Hardball. Keanu Reeves goes to coach a black baseball team from the subs.

I always liked the movie cause it had so many shivver-moments.

[Magmar]

I just saw A Scanner Darkly, and it a scanner SUCKED.

[Roy Karrde]

Just got back from World Trade Center. And today with all those idiots at the airport that are complaining about security, well they should see this movie. This is one of those movies that needs to be reran on TV every single year. It was just amazing.

Ironic that a movie by Oliver Stone would convince you to support more conservative ideals.

[Zak]

I just watched Saw and Saw II... huge mistake to watch them in the same day, but I can't wait for the next one. I'm gonna have to wait a few months after it comes out here, unfortunately.
Seriously though, all the other horror flicks I've seen seem like a joke now.

[Magmar]

I just rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

*Cries*

[Everoy]

I wish I had just seen Snakes on a Plane, does that count?

[Dark Scizor]

I just saw Snakes on a Plane

[Mega Horny]

and? I heard it didn't sell as well as expected.

[Zak]

Just saw Accepted.

Almost as good as Ferris.

[Dark Scizor]

and? I heard it didn't sell as well as expected.

Apparently it didn't make as much at the box office as hype had suggested it would.

As long as you know what you're in for, you'll probably enjoy it. The acting isn't brilliant, and there isn't much of a plot if any, it's just SLJ and Snakes on a Plane.

It's a fun B-movie with a certain charm to it. I enjoyed it, a lot.

[Mega Horny]

Really? That good? Why so?

[Chris 2.1]

I saw Snakes and thoroughly enjoyed it. Its a cult film, with a cult fanbase. Its different and it's what you'd expect from a film with a name like 'Snakes on a Plane'. There aren't many twists, but thats because you've seen the majority of the plot in the trailer.

I was reminded of Phone Booth - a film directed about a particular event. Over the course of the film, it's about the complications of said event. In Phone Booth, the events basically throw a spanner in the works for Shepard (Played by Colin Farrell) who is trapped in a Phone Booth (ableit willingly) by a sniper with rather twisted morals.

This is the same. Frequent events in the film are trying to block the snakes in a section of the plane, or else what happens when the air is running out, when the pilot is attacked, trying to identify the snakes so the people on the ground can get the correct anti venoms etc.

If you know what to expect you'll more likely enjoy it than if you go in expecting something similar to Miami Vice for action. It all happens in a plane, mostly. So there.

The acting was quite good on the whole. SLJ's "I'm a black cop whose got attitude" thing grated soon. The end scene, to avoid spoiling it, was a bit stupid since it just wouldn't happen. Ever. Sean (can't remember surname or actor)'s conflict over staying out of harms way (the snakes were sent to kill him, who was going to testify against a crimelord, so he needed to stay alive) and saving people who needed his help was quite good.

Overall, great film. 4/5. It has hundreds of those jump-up-and-gasp-throwing-popcorn-over-girlfriend moments so be prepared.
