Movie thread

saw a preview for a movie coming out next summer, BAttleship. Looks wicked cool A Navy Battle Group gets in a fight with some type of alien craft. Just saw a few minutes of previews, but a Battleship firing doing direct fire (point blank) at an alien space ship hovering over the water (whats not to like??)

Forgot to mention, the first few previews for The Dark Knight Rises came out during Harry Potter. Can't wait for that one!

Oh boy... another alien movie...

Take the aliens out and just make a movie with battleships blowing sh*t up on the water for an hour and a half. I'd pay $8 to see that instead.

Watched "Nine" last night (the Tim Burton animated one). Definitely a bit dark for kids, but I enjoyed it. Wasn't great by any means, but the audio quality was some of the best I've heard on Blu-Ray thus far. Tons of LFE, and a lot of effects from the surround channels. At one point I thought I had fried one of my speakers, but as I listened, I realized it was actually a fire crackling in the background!

He had already made plans to come here for homecoming in October to see one of his Spartan teammates (Gene Washington) inducted into the MSU "Ring of Honor."

Saw Transformers 3 this weekend at the drive in...WTF is up with all the product placement...haven't seen a movie so blantant about it in awhile.

It was an ok movie...just another transformer movie.

Saw Blue Valentine over the weekend on DVD with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams.

It was not unwatchable, but the story line hit a little too close to home for me. It's about a stupid hot chick dating a douchebag who meets a decent but flawed man that treats her well and they run off together, then we get to watch as the relationship crumbles over time. It jumped around a lot in time (present/past), but MW spends enough time nekkid to compensate for that flaw.

On my rating scale:

Awesomeness = 4

Hotness = 10

Advanced weaponry/helicopters= 0

Cool monsters = 0

Saw Shutter Island over the past couple of nights. It's got Leo DiCapricorn with his bad Boston accent and the guy who played Gandhi in that Gandhi flick. It's an interesting movie, but no nekkid ladies. However, there was an impossibly large explosion of a car. The plot and storyline of the movie and how everything spins and eventually makes sense in the end are pretty damn good. I had hoped for a different ending since it was a little anti-climactic and blah.

3.5 out of 5

Jane Eyre did not deserve all of those stars.

 

[knight1fox3]

The new Conan movie was pretty good.

On another note, I've seen lots of movies since Shutter Island, but have forgotten what they are and Netflix is blocked at work. Will try to update my motion picture escapades later.

is shutter island the one where they are in the orient and go to some island, a dude gets eaten by a shark, and some basically weird stuff goes on?
