Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Ive been watching a ton of old westerns on netflix instant. They have a huge assortment of old Bill Elliott, Roy Rogers, Alan Lane, as well as some John Wayne films in there. Dont forget about the good ol spaghetti westerns as well. Good ones in instant, as well as a hot as flaming hell Raquel Welch in 100 Rifles. Roy Rogers though, is my favorite by far. Great films, even though most of them are only 55 - 70 minutes long. Those old matinee preshow westerns!!!!!!!!

high plains drifter is my favorite western

[quote=los panda;881939]i liked driver as well. some parts really bothered me until i remembered that it was based on a book. one part that really [B]bothered me was after he hit hellboy's car there was no visible damage to his. both of his headlights were still shining.[/B] the soundtrack was amazing, and the character reminded me of the character from gta3.[/quote]

yeah I watched it last nite and noticed that too,especially as hard as he hit that car his car would have been lucky to still be driveable.Didnt care for the ending either

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Anyone see Chronicle this weekend? Been thinking about seeing it next weekend but I wanna get some reviews on it first. A friend of a friend said it was pretty good.

Just saw it tonight. It was okay. Big on special effects, small on storyline. It had no sense of direction. The telekinesis was kinda cool though.

Thought it was pretty awesome especially after finding out it was done on a $12 million budget. As a loner in high school I definitely could see myself in the shoes of the main character Andrew. This is also the first movie I've seen from the first person/ hand held camera style that I enjoyed.

I did enjoy how they blurred the lines between protagonist/antagonist in the movie. I found myself rooting for the main character at first it by the end of the movie it was obvious he needed to go.

As much as I love Batman and can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises, I need May 4th to get here with the quickness. I lost my shit when I saw the smaller trailer during the game, especially the team shot, but this minute plus trailer even further amped me up:

i might see that in the theater. they couldn't afford norton but they bagged renner. all these heroes were before my time. i really like the iron mans with downey jr. but the hulks (bana's far worse than norton's) were bad. captain america wasn't any better. thor was worse. but i'm a sucker for superheroes, we'll see

Norton wasn't because of money but instead "creative differences" ie in an interview he tried to take primary credit for the writing on the movie and was a handful on the set. I really dug captain America cuz tht was one of the hardest super heroes to pull off and it worked for me. And I love the castin of Renner as Hawkeye and ruffalo is A great choice for banner/hulk

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

if he was willing to put his creative differences aside for the hulk, he would have done the same for this fiesta. they couldn't afford downey jr and norton, downey jr was essential to this movie while norton was not. i can see creative differences being a problem in something like primal fear or american history x but not something like the avengers.

I saw the trailer to The Hunger Games, wow just lame it looks like a Sci Fi Channel original movie. Pretty good books that look like they are going to be awful on the big screen.

that looks pretty radical. i'll def catch that one in the theater.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

yes, another spiderman movie please... early takeaway is that this one probably isn't going to be very good.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

it looks like more substance and less filler than toby's

I agree! IT is like $30 for me and the wife to go. With movies coming out so quick now and my home theater system what is the point of going to theater. I guess it is stil la good place to go if you are under 21 looking for a night out.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I honestly can't remember the last movie I saw in the theater. It might be Inception.

The last movie I saw in theaters was Breaking Dawn. lol and then before that it was Thor in 3D.

Yeah. I'm kinda weird.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I just went and saw Chronicle in theaters a couple weeks ago. It was more of a "we're bored, we have some cash, lets go see it" kinda deal. It wasn't a "omg, we're huge fanboys that have been waiting to see this movie since we read the script" deal lol. Honestly I don't go to movies that much anymore not because there's stuff not worth seeing, but mostly because it's pretty expensive. And I'm willing to wait until 6 months after the movie comes out and I can catch it on Redbox for 1/12th of the price.

I can remember when I was like 7 or 8 and my folks would take me to the matinee show and the total for 3 tickets was like $15.

I can only imagine how cheap it was for some of the older members back in the day.

It was definitely under $5 for a matinee when I was a kid.

Ah, the good ol' days.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

saturday afternoon mat. was a dollar. wow, just saying that makes me feel old

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Luckily there's a movie theater in the area that does $5 movies every day on any movie starting between 4-530 and $1 popcorn and drinks on Tuesdays.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

the fdr movie looks pretty dumb. i recently saw "the debt" that wasn't too bad. i watched inception again, i'm a big fan of it

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Anybody see Project X? Is it any good? I'm torn on it, I've heard differing opinions on the subject, with some friends saying it's the most badass movie alive and other friends saying it's just another teenage flick about getting laid.

Also I'm pretty sure I posted this in this thread a few years ago, but my favorite martial arts movie of all time without a doubt has to be Jet Li's Fearless. It's not even the martial arts that makes me love it, it's the excellent story line. I watched it tonight with a couple friends for the first time in years (thanks Netflix streaming) and it just reaffirmed my love for it.

Don't know about Project X, will probably wait for rental, but as far as martial arts movies go, you should check out Ip Man if you haven't already. It's about the guy who trained Bruce Lee with Donnie Yen as the lead.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

isn't ipp man from like, 2008?

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Project X is described as a teenage version of the "Hangover." As it does not look good to me either. Sorry.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

[quote=That Guy;894707]isn't ipp man from like, 2008?[/quote]

Yep but as he had made mention of Jet Li's "Fearless" from 2006 and it isn't a super well known movie. I love kung fu movies and only found out about it's existence early last year.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

just watched once upon a time in the west... kinda slow, but they actually assume you're paying attention instead of repeating the main plot points 42 times.

I guess 1968 was a different time.
