What Happens In Vegas - At first I wasn't going to bother commenting on this, as I didnt' choose the film nor did I pay it much attention while it was on. Needless to say, it was a predictable film ie: I was able to announce the ending after the movie only having been on for 15minutes (much to my GFs dismay/attitude). It was just another run-of-the-mill boring "chick flick" with the same tired sterotypical characters in the same tired plots. :puke:

I got horribly painful cramps in my calves that night. They told me it was the long flight... I knew it was the movie.

Enemy Mine - Still one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of the 80s. Just every single aspect was great. It holds well over time (sans the effects). Glad it came up on Instant Watch on my Netflix que.

I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid and I remember about 2% of it... I added it to my Netflix as soon as I saw it. I was like "EEEE!" I haven't watched it yet though... been trying to marathon my way through Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex before the second season goes off Instant Queue on the 14th.

To stay relevant to the thread, my boyfriend and I watched Primer the other night. It's an independent sci-fi film made on a budget of $7000. Lots of math/engineering talk, lots of talking in general... it was interesting because they explained a lot of the science behind what they were doing. (People on Netflix, it's on Instant Queue if you're interested)

Last night I saw Food, Inc. which was an entertaining and convincing documentary about the problems with the food industry. I also saw Away We Go, which I did not like.

Just a really cool action flick. Not a whole lot in the way of character depth or development, but still a really neat concept. Psychic powers left, right and center made it totally wicked. I think I heard the intention was to turn it into a franchise and I'd be down for that.

Too bad it made about $4.

fakeedit: Just checked on boxoffice mojo, and worldwide gross is $45 million. Ouch. Just barely made back its budget. You'll probably see a sequel to this before a Serenity sequel, though.

Watched Batman Returns last night for the first time in a few years.

So apparently somewhere in between Batman and BR Batman forgot how to fight, decided he likes to crack one-liners, and got really stupid.

Primer made my head hurt for like, a couple weeks.

I just saw Bruno; Cohen does his thing, and I don't mind it. I think Borat is a better character, but Bruno was funny too. I'm excited now for what new character he is going to scheme up and hit the world with.

Outlander
Grade B+ movie, or possibly A-. The story has been done before of course, but not a bad twist and kind of a buddy buddy feel to all the characters. Think 13th Warrior with a spaceman and Sci-Fi channel monsters.

How?


As in, how was it pleasant when you had to sludge your way through every standard trope character King puts in almost all his books?

If you say so. I mean the idea is good, but the character's just don't do it for me at all.

[spoiler:252azy1t]The end of the movie, with him and his assistant making out in the middle of the barbed wire MMA ring with people flipping out killed me. Especially that really intense redneck that was just screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!![/spoiler:252azy1t] I really enjoyed the fucking shit out Bruno. I loved that half the theatre (mostly old people) got up and walked out after the TV screening bit. What the fuck did people expect? Seriously?

Yeah, I'm agreeing with Charlie on The Mist, too. I was pleasantly surprised.

Honestly, it's hard to make a horror movie without characters that are typical.

Okay, wow... That ending...

I can understand that it needed some more finality than the novella, but holy shit. I don't know if that was really necessary. Still a good horror movie, but that was just... Yeesh.

That was my favorite bit, that they didn't cop out on the ending, Cujo style.

I loved the ending of The Mist. It stays with you for awhile. Had he waited just a few more minutes. . .

Just got back from Bruno. The focus group scene was great and the "Straight Dave" tough man contest was the perfect ending. Just like Borat, this one really exposes people's ignorance and prejudice. It's not a movie that you'll laugh at from beginning to end but when you do laugh it's side splitting.

Speaking of Seven I've heard a lot of great things about that movie but I could never finish it. Just bored me to death. I know how it ends not by watching it but by friends telling me. Just can't get that far before my mind drifts off to Transformers.

I have to say, I wasn't a huge Seven fan either. I heard all this praise, and the movie was rather mediocre when I finally saw it. I mean, come on. The end was a non-surprising surprise. I didn't see all of it coming, but they'd foreshadowed it so much that when they finally revealed things, it wasn't all that surprising.

Point, but I don't think Cujo was that great a book or movie, although I did give props to King for the book's ending.

I'm kinda glad I wasn't as attached to The Mist movie's characters as to the novella's. It was an excellent adaptation though, which is a rare thing with Stephen King books. In fact, Frank Darabont is responsible for other good King adaptations, The Green Mile and (haven't seen it, but from all I've heard) The Shawshank Redemption.

The Mist had my favorite ending in a movie since Seven. No question.

Hence I said favorite "ending", Not film. It doesn't even rank on my top 30.

Loved that. It was the one scene in which I actually liked Pitt, which didn't happen again till Snatch.
