Everyone I've talked to has said it is not good but I still would like to see it.

Saw this one tonight.







Synopsis
Based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory, "The Other Boleyn Girl" is an engrossing and sensual tale of intrigue, romance, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history. Two sisters, Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious Father and Uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King of England (Eric Bana).

Leaving behind the simplicity of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of court life -- and what began as a bid to help their family develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the King. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his mistress, bearing him two illegitimate children. But Anne, clever, conniving and fearless, edges aside both her sister and Henry's wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the King.

Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is Queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a King -- one driven by ambition, the other by true affection -- England is torn apart. Despite the dramatic consequences, the Boleyn girls ultimately find strength and loyalty in each other, and they remain forever connected by their bond as sisters.

* Coming to think of it; this is a very well done post.....( for ME that is,...haha, I usually screw it up  and then not even bother no more... )

And to Mike-T.....:" U'll love Scarlett ! "

After the delightful surprise that was Superbad, I started digging into the other movies the crew has been involved with.
Today I saw "Knocked Up", which is another fun movie. Aimed at an older audience than superbad, but I enjoyed it a lot.

I saw the trailers for both ofthese movies last Summer.. I'm ordering bothon PPV this weekend..

I heard they are both hella Funny!

I didn't see the whole movie since they showed it on tv and I tuned to watch it from the middle. But anyhow.. I saw Hours.. It was kinda wierd movie. First movie that made want to have a hug after seeing it.

I really like the Hours, watch it again from the beginning if you have a chance. Not that you necessarily missed anything, but it's just good, so you might as well see the whole movie.

I didn't dislike it and I will watch it from the begining.

Recent movies:
The Lookout
and Cloverfield

The Lookout was excellent

Cloverfield was mindless fun.

I just saw the new Rambo .
I'll be doing a review of it tomorrow.

I saw American Beauty today, I had forgotten just how brilliant it is.
A wonderful movie, entertaining, beautiful and thought provoking.
The dialogue is so well written that it actually gives me chills at times.

Brilliant, I'm not gonna wait that long before I watch it again next time.

I recently saw American Gangster - unfortunately in German dubbing. But it was not bad, so I guess it was even better in original tone.
I love gangster movies, that one did it perfectly well for me

I saw 'No Country For Old Men', last pic from the Coen bros. Brutal as usual (it's the story of a Texas-Mexico border zone who finds a lot of drug-related money trying to escape from the thrilling killer who wants to get it back) I love Coen bros movies (specially 'The Big Lebowski', 'Fargo' or 'The Hudsucker Proxy') but this is special cuz it includes a thrilling performance of... Javier Bardem, a great spanish actor who I'm sure (not being patriotic at all) he's gonna win the Oscar...



'have you ever played your life on toin coss?'

That clip was very intriguing, Kendra!
I'm definitely going to keep my eyes open for this one

Well, I've already dug out Abbey Road, lol.

I checked out if this movie was screening at the movies here, and it turns out that tonight is the last night! I had exactly 30 minutes to get down there, which was too short notice. So it looks like I'm gonna have to download it or something.

John Rambo.

I must be one of the few people of a certain age that has not seen First Blood or Rambo, but i liked the way Stalone handles Rocky Balboa so I thought i would give this a go, I didnt think I would have needed to see the 1st 2 to get it & i didnt.
the characters in this are paper thing cartoon cliches, fucking awful, dialogue is pathetic and after reading Ryans review, fuck its violent, i thin possibly the most graphicly realistic & horrific movie I have seen....and I really dont think its justifiable.

I can see both sides of the argument, portray warfare as it really is, gruseome and not romantic at all so thta people know what its like.
And there is a part of me that see's that point completely but I feel it should be done in a more sober way, not in a movie made for entertainment. there is no way that this flick is trying to "educate" people on the genoside of Burma, its hardly even touched on, the violence is in this movie purely to shock and dare I say "entertain" though how any one can be entertained by bodies being torn apart in such a truthful manner is beyond me....


Marks out of 5. -1 no redeming features at all. very dissapointed after the high of Rocky Balboa.

....and here I go again!!!

so...I am the movie martyr...I suffer for you my fams...and sometimes..I discover the rare gem.    GOOD NEWS...(for B movie fans like moi) THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES!!!

the movie I saw was a HK import
MEATBALL MACHINE


This film is one that relies on a classic Japanese cinama form known as Tokusatsu, or Kaiju.  ( Basically they are movies with large latex and styrofoam monsters.)  Though the effects are campy they are well done, and the director takes the movie seriously and does a great job.  The movie is well acted and as you might expect from a movie called Meatball machine, that relies on monsters in latex...it is chalk full of crazy fight scenes.  The dirctor takes his hat off to classic horror directors such as Sam Raimi, David Cronenburg, and so there is blood and gore galore.  The box of the dvd reads " If you are not disturbed by this movie, then you should be incarcerated"  Now this movie is not for anyone who has no interest in Campy or Cult movies, but if cult flicks are up your ally And crazy mutant parasite aliens taking over human bodies, and then eating each other is your bag...then by all means...enjoy the meatball machine!!    I LOVED THIS FLICK!!  It's like a live action Manga comic

I give this flick 3.4 out of 5 twisted lispers.

'Cidade De Deus' (City Of God in portuguese) a movie I was wishing to see. Very impressive. Brutal, violent, real as hell. A real story on the Rio de Janeiro favelas. Absolutely recommended

i saw this last night

the story of Ian Curtis singer with Joy Divison. this is an adaptation of the book Ians wife wrote after he killed himself...oops, spoilt the ending!
its OK but i think the movie just skimmed the very top of the surface nd left a lot of detail for us to romantasise ourselves, which is fine especially for Joy Division fans,

It is directed by Anton Corbin so visually it is flawless. well worth seeing.

No Country for old men
Great acting, found it confusing at times..

Gone Baby Gone. Weird but good.

Charlie Wilsons War.
Probably the best I've ever liked Tom Hanks in a movie, he really did this part well!
Philip Seymour Hoffman has received much hype lately, and he shows why with this movie. He totally nails the part, and brings a lot of life and character to a potentially boring role.
Fun movie in general, not at all what I expected. It's very entertaining, despite it's very serious topic. Most of the credit for the entertainment goes directly to the actors.

http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/images_5 … nsWarA.jpg

I LOVE Philip Seymour Hoffman he nails every role he hs ever done he is supereme in Happiness, touching in Magnolia, pure classic in Almost Famous and his Truman Capote was faltless...he alone is reaosn to see this...which I will!

Witherspoon has been tapped to play Isabella El-Ibrahim, the pregnant American wife of an Egyptian-born chemical engineer whose family emigrated to the States in the mid 1980s, who is shipped off to a third world country for interrogation after he is deemed a political prisoner in our post-9/11 world. "Rendition" stars three Oscar winners - Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon and Alan Arkin, as well as Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal.
Great acting!

We almost went to the Movies to see this and I was about to order this over the weekend. The trailer looked interesting when i checked it last year. But is it Slow moving Kendra?

The premise has me curious. If it's not slow moving I'm going for it this week!

The acting is what was very good.

I convinced my friend to watch Grafitti Bridge last night.
We had a few good laughs.

From the producers of dude where's my car...

KILLER PAD


eveything you could want from a dipshit comedy...

http://www.definitelymaybemovie.com/

Benicio Del Toro not only hot but such a great actor!  In fact they were both excellent.

Cloverfield!
I actually really enjoyed this movie! Good suspense, a fun twist to the story-telling, and some really exciting battle scenes.
The entire film is viewed from the perspective of a guy carrying a hand-held camera, which gives it a unique feel.
Cool story too, although a bit far fetched.

Blair Witch Project for a new generation

"The Nines"
what a load of shite.

This is a really funny movie. Its a little slow in the beginning. The Pig face scene is hilarious; I wonder if it was improvised.

cloverfield a bit slow starting but once into it becomes a real interesting movie

I watched it with a mate, we started talking about other shit 20 minutes in and turned it off after 30 minutes. Instead we watched Superbad again

watched it, understood it, loved it. scared the hell out of me!! but definately worthy of all awards received.

I had some difficult to understand that nose deep texan accent (specially Tommy Lee Jones, he does it great, I don't know if he's a texan) specially without any spanish subtitles, but i catched the overall argument very well. And Javier Bardem performance most of the time is not based on speaking, though texan people may say if he was credible as a texan since he didn't speak any english (in any accent)before.

Me & a bunch of my guy friends sat around making fun of this:



& it was so easy to.  Mullets galore! 

THEM
French
Subtitles
The ending was a bit disappointing!

We Own The Night

Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Robert Duvall

The cast alone makes this Movie.  Joaqun Phoenix is amazing in this. This s/l was really an excellant study in Family, loyalty, Attonement, and Vengence makes this a must see film. I hate that we missed this on bigscreen. But it was stil great late last night on PPV.

Check It Out!

again...a lil slow but well paced..and very very good.

oooooooooooooooooooh...watch out guys n' dolls...this one has a little bit to it!

TEETH


Many who know me know that I love B-films...and many times there are clear differences between a B, and an "independant"...and most of those differences lie in the cinimatorgraphy the quality of the film...if it is on film at all.  This movie Teeth was released in limited venues, and many festivals..of which it won cudos and awards.  It is a comming of age story of a woman who suffers from Vagina dentata http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina_dentata   The movie is part horror part comedy, and does well in both arenas taking it self seriously in a manner that leaves the viewer in stitches.  The movie is not graphic in any way...simply gross..well shot and well acted by a group of new commers I hope to see again.

In terms of my quest for the ultimate killer B movie...I would have to rank this one up in the top 5 ( as a matter of fact...I'll top 5 the topic also)...and give this one FIVE TWISTED LISPERS>>>RENT IT!

My Youtube brain isn't prepared for movies at this pace anymore. I got bored, and I didn't find the story interesting at all.
The movie failed to grab my attention, which is not surprising as there is no real story to grab on to. Sure it's about inner demons and a desire for success, and parallells can be drawn to Brad Pitt's struggle with paparazzi and young kids of today whose dream is to "become famous" at any price... but I still think it could've been made more enjoyable and entertaining.


The same can be said for "No Country for old men" and to a degree about "There will be blood". They are, to me, so ambitious in their quest for "epicness" that they lose touch of the entertainment value. It doesn't even have to be entertainment, but at least interesting and with a purpose. It's undeniable that all these movies have great acting, great photography, great scenes and a big budget. But they still leave me unfulfilled.

There is no way the Cones would simply strive for epicness. No Country is a perfect adaption of the novel, it has the same pace & atmosphere & fits perfectly with the other Coen movies. (...and $ 25 million is not a big budget.)

Both Jesse James & No Country are very poetic in their own ways (& not in the artsy fartsy kinda way). Fcaurs they're slow paced but far from uninteresting.



The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
An extraordinary and visionary study of a legendary murderer’s famous fate, within touching distance of Oscars.
★★★★★


No Country For Old Men
Violent, poetic, gripping, thrilling and blackly funny: that’ll be the Coens doing what they do best then. Now with added humanity.
★★★★★




I love Empire! (where's the geek smilie?)

I just saw JUNO a great movie and The Mist, a sci-fi thriller.

I think everyone knows about Juno.
The Mist was first unbelievable. Then it caught my interest, the end is shocking and a bit upsetting. A lot of people either loved this movie or hated it.
I liked it.
If you like creatures, psychological suspense and science fiction you’ll like this movie.
It’s not about what it might seem at first.
HERE'S A REVIEW:
http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenav … c=the+mist

Lars & The Real Girl



In this comedy, Lars Lindstrom is an awkwardly shy young man in a small northern town who finally brings home the girl of his dreams to his brother and sister-in-law's home. The only problem is that she's not real - she's a sex doll Lars ordered off the Internet. But sex is not what Lars has in mind, but rather a deep, meaningful relationship. His sister-in-law is worried for him, his brother thinks he's nuts, but eventually the entire town goes along with his delusion in support of this sweet natured boy that they've always loved.



this movie is brilliant, it isnt really a comedy more a very poigniant drama with funny bits, although the actual scenario is very funny.
Ryan Gosling plays Lars and plays him so well, this movie really is brilliant had me laughing and crying all the way through a MUST see.

Finally saw Knocked Up.

it wasn't what i expected after all the media hype, but it did have some really funny stupid momemt's, and the ending was the best...

Superbad was Waay Funnier though:P

IRONMAN ROCKED!!!!

The Summer Movie Season is ON!

Because I am a movie dork...love em all no matter how bad..I searched and searched for the rare 1991 never released superhero flick Captain America.  Made as a response to the DC film Batman, directed by Tim Burton, this stinker was shelved before it hit theaters.  It was Directed by....who the hell knows...I think the same guy that directed the A-team tv show, and stars...well..no one...these people have never been seen before or since..and it is a small wonder.

It was not the incredibly bad plot, or the muscle padded rubber suit (in fact the suit was one of the better parts of the flick) that made this movie horrible.  It was the fact that  no one in the film is recognizable...in fact only perhaps two of the people in the flick could even be accused of being "actors" without busting a grin.  Most of the movie was filmed in Italy ( probably because the budget prohibited it from being filmed in the US, but that is not entirely bad...because the bad guys Italian accents where the most authentic part of the movie...and the Italian babes with twenty two caliber handguns where kinda cute...in a late 1980's kinda way. Despite the fact our american hero..never really spent any time in the US, ran away from little women with small guns, faked car sickness to steal cars, and got beat up more than he kicked ass the producers still had the audacity to refer to this film as a superhero flick.  I think, quite honestly I am more courageous than this version of Steve Rodgers just for having the courage to watch this hot turd in it's entirety.

Still suffering for the fams
Nate


btw...this flick gets no love, no devil heads, and no repeat viewing....okay...I'm a masochist...I'll watch it again

I also watched an old comedy, Click with Adam Sandler.
I was up at 5am and wasn't prepared for anything that would require brain activity, so any Adam Sandler movie would do nicely!
In this movie Adam Sandler finds a remote that lets him control everything around him (yes... it's a documentary).
It was quite entertaining at times, and I especially enjoyed it when he kept bullying the annoying kid next door

I saw "click" a while ago and too enjoyed it hugely as I do with pretty much all Adam Sandler movies.

If you havent already seen it Endre I fully recommend his remake of "Mr Deeds".


oh and his greatest movie ever, which is a serious role too, "Reign Over Me" with Don Cheedle....superb and he looks like Bob Dylan in it too.

Well since I've been away I've seen:

Iron Man -- Fucking awesome!  Best Marvel flik so far.
Speed Racer -- It was okay.  It looked nice, but was way too long.
Prince Caspian -- Amazing!  I think it was better than the 1st movie.  I'm a HUGE fan of the Narnia books & I think the movies are a great representation of them.

I saw Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull today.

http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas … -skull.jpg

It was okay.  I'm not crazy about the Indiana Jones movies, & I thought this was the least entertaining.  It's cool that the story was more sci-fi, but it didn't make much sense (I'm not going to spoil it for those that still haven't seen it yet). 

& I'm never the mushy type, so I hated the feel-good-wrap-it-all-up-in-a-nice-little-bow happy ending. 

But the action & special effects were good!

The first one was the best.

I've seen a few trailer's and they just don't make any sense. LOL I expected great special effects. I'm going to pass just from the trailers.

We saw Ironman twice already!

WOW intense and fantastic. Adam Sandler is a very under rated actor. Yeah he's a comedian but his dramatic roles are superb. He was also great in Punch Drunk Love.

I LOVE this movie so much, I bought it, which is rare for me these days.
and you are correct Adam Sandler is superb in it.

The Take

A little indie heist flick starring my man Johnny Legz.  With a strong cast and a decent script the director gives us a good effort.  With no lighting tech the scenes at times can be a bit dark..but the stellar cast makes up for the directors newberty.  If you like a good indie hiest flick...check this out.

I won't be seeing it until this weekend! I'm going with the Women in My Family including my MIL. LOL.

Can't Wait!!!

Today we saw THE HAPPENING




M. Night Shyamalan totally just wasted my time. I was so expecting something! Answers, a great ending something!

What a waste of talent. I keep hoping for a flick as Good as Signs.. So far Nothing.

Here's a review from Elizabeth Weitzman The Daily Entertainment News.

Listen up: I'm about to reveal the big twist at the end of "The Happening," the new sci-fi mystery from M. Night Shyamalan. So if you don't want to know what it is, consider this fair warning and move along to the next review. Seriously. It's coming up now.

Ready?

The big twist is that ... there's no twist at all. None. Zip. Nada.

Now, Shyamalan - who made his name with "The Sixth Sense" - is hardly required to provide us with a double-take moment in every movie. But if he's not going to offer much in the first 88 minutes, he'd better deliver big-time before wrapping things up.

Since he doesn't, you deserve to know now - not after you've waited an hour and a half for a payoff that never arrives.

Things kick off on a sunny morning in Central Park, when crowds of people suddenly start killing themselves. This scene soon repeats itself along the East Coast, apparently as the result of some mysterious, mind-altering toxin.

Terrorists are blamed, but Philadelphia science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) suspects there's an ecological explanation that implicates us all. Unfortunately, Shyamalan's script is so shallow that survival matters more than any solution. So Elliot and his wife (Zooey Deschanel) grab the abandoned daughter (Ashlyn Sanchez) of his best friend (John Leguizamo), and simply run from town to town in search of shelter.

Shyamalan always serves as his own writer, director and producer, a choice that indicates either unfailing competence or extreme egotism. Let's just say that competence is in short supply here.

The film never builds past its initial idea, the references to 9/11 feel cheap, the good actors are wasted, and the bad ones are distracting (just try to ignore the mugging extras in every scene). Oddest of all, the pacing is so amateurish that this thriller has hardly any actual thrills.

The final explanation, which comes as no surprise, is more preposterous than profound. If you want to see a scary movie about humans wreaking havoc on their planet, watch "An Inconvenient Truth" instead

I Know 7 UGH! What a Waste! But Yesterday I Saw!!!!!!!!!!



I WAS IN FASHION HEAVEN!!!!!! THE PURSES, AND THE SUNGLASSES, AND THE SHOES, AND THE WEDDING DRESSES AND THE FURS, AND SAMANTHA'S MALIBU PAD, AND HER NAKED NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR!!!!!

Drillbit Taylor. from the same people that brought us "Superbad" it stars Owen Wilson but dont let that put you off, its still a pretty funny movie.

We Saw Wanted On Sunday.... Very Good Movie...Very Graphic... Lots of Action




And Today We Saw HANCOCK!!!

Will Smith is funny as Hell in this Movie. he plays a drunk, bumbling, Superbad Super Hero with a nasty attitude.

Excellent flick that took a very interesting turn in the last 30 mins. I smell a sequel.

Very well acted, not overdone - worth watching.

Saw the Dark Knight...it was the POOP!

I saw it last night. It was freakin' KICK ASS. And Heath Ledger was amazing.

just saw Lost Boys the Tribe....as a sequal it was kind of chitty...but if you never saw the first one and like vampire flicks...as a stand alone it is good.  What the movie lacks in story it makes up for in gore

"DARK KNIGHT"


ooooolaaalaaaa

Last saw ,in this order- from last to first

Batman ****
Wall-E   *****
Love guru ***
Hancock **
Zohan *

I'm still thinking about the impact of Batman, it was good. But I'm still not sure if I really enjoyed it. It had action, but why do super hero movies always give the main charater the ability to fall from high places and live.
Where as the bad guys can fall off a bar-stood and break they're neck
---
Wall-E  the best animated/cartoon movie I have ever seen, Amazing (and I hate animated movies)
--
Love Guru- was simple fun, and very clean compared to modern movies.
--
Hancock-time will reveal this as a shallow movie
--
Zohan- Wtf, were my thoughts every 30 seconds.
Stupid,Stupid and Stupid. How many times do we need to see Adam's crotch.
1 is more that enough. I didn't count ,but it was way too many.
I wanted to burn the theater down after this movie, actually I just wanted to leave, and should have.

Just saw Art of War 2 -

THIS MOVIE B-LOWS...avoid at all cost

I refuse to use too many words in describing this turd as it has stolen enough time out of my life..

Think I posted on Shitter some time ago... uuuutter crap

Went to see Hancock today - totally meaningless, illogical fun, it was great entertainment. I laughed out loud quite a lot of times

Only thing that was a bit creepy - I was totally alone in the room (afternoon showing in original tone), which was room number 6 - and my ticket said seat 6 in row 6
Had it been a Horror movie, I think I miiight have been a tad scared

THE WIZARD OF GORE!

This movie is a remake of a cult classic.  When the movie first started I immediately loved the use of color and the stylized cinamatography.  This movie was made on a shoe string budget...much like the original but takes the viewer on a trip of mind bending brilliance.  I have not thoroughly loved a movie that I was not sure I completely understood since the last David Lynch film I watched.  I would have to say anyone who loves horror, or Crispen Glover, or the suicide girls or movies in general ( I think that is everyone now ) should at least rent this gem!
four twisted Lispers

Rave Un2 The 2000's was the last movie I saw!

I saw Bushman a few days ago, it kicked ass

Wanted 2 watch the crew look for V'ger and see Uhura with a 'fro, lol.

The Breakfast Club.
Eye get really happy when Prince is mentioned in a movie!!!!

I saw "Once" its a small Irish independant movie which one the Sundance in 2007...its really good, but very much a vehicle for the songs...the lead man plaid Outspan in the Commitments

Got an early copy of the DVD



if there was no Dark Knight this summer, this movie would have been the movie of the summer.!!

The Dark Knight... I loved it!!! Even though - as I watched it with original tone - I might not have got all the details in the investigation/bullethole etc. scenes as they were talking awfully quick there... but I loved the mood and the actors. Great flick.

Oh, and - I want that bike, it belongs to MEEEE and me only

not that good, quite thin really and almost insulting to Spaniards and Americans on some levels.
Pene Cruz is superb though, its worth seeing for her.

I LOVE "The 40 Year Old Virgin" & "Superbad" this movie is OK, has some really good touched ala "40" & "Superbad" but it lacks in something, the other 2 are movies I have watched a fair few times but this one I will be surprised if I see again.

They aired it from tv today and it's second time I saw this. I wasn't in the mood for a movie this deep this time. But it is a good movie still.

I made the terrible mistake of watching it in the German dubbing and it SUCKED. Unbelievably. But I think even in the original tone it's not all that good... nice idea, great actors... but nowhere near convincing.

Aaaaahhh! Never watch a film when it's dubbed in German!!
Way to ruin the whole experience.
Civilized countries use subtitles for films that are in languages different to their own.

I still have to watch Burn After Reading myself! Always excited about a new Coen brothers movie!

I watched a Coen movie this week, The Ladykillers, it was OK but rather poop really.

Pineapple Express I wanna see cos i really like Seth but the only review I could find in English here is SPain pretty much slated it, said its good if your a stoner cos the jokes are mor relevant, if not its just one long bong joke.


Spain dub EVERYTHING...fucking pisses me off.

Ladykillers is the worst Coen film so far. It's not horrible, it's just bad compared to their other films.

Germans dub everything too. Sometimes the voices don't fit the actors, and what's worst is the fake tone in their voices they apply to the dubbing. I once talked to an actor who does a lot of dubbing and he said it's like an unwritten rule here that when you dub a film or a show you put on this serious, weird-sounding guttural voice.

It drives me insane! Country of ignorants. The same people who butcher the best films when they show them on tv. With 50 commercial breaks, animated ads in the corner of the screen, and cutting off the end credits, sometimes even the last scene!!

Rant over.
