Movie Chit-Chat Thread I: Edward Doodle Hands

Apparently Robert Rodriguez wasn't just blowing smoke up our asses when he said that he was gearing up for Sin City 2 back during comic con. I read today that William Monahan has been brought on for some script work.

The name may sound familiar because he won an Oscar for this little movie called The Departed a few years back.

I mostly enjoyed the film, but the music straight up pissed me off. I expect cheesy music in a disney movie, but this stuff killed any mood that was previously established.

I also didn't like how she somehow magically came to the realization she was a princess and her (not-)mother was evil. There was no build up to that moment, it just came out of nowhere.Unless I missed something, which wouldn't surprise me, seeing as I was half asleep at the time I was watching this.

I rewatched Hard Candy today. Been wanting to for months now and it's still so good.
I just can't get over how good Ellen Page is...holy lord.

Also, wtf Tangled was great. I was wholeheartedly shocked that I liked it, I was really hesitant to see it, so I ended up waiting for the $1 theater to have it, but it was so good!

The idea of watching Hard Candy more than once makes my stomach churn.

But it's so good. And I had a lot of man-hate building up recently, so it was a good venting method.
Uh. Not to sound bat♥♥♥♥ insane, but.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie. It's just...that scene...

The only thing I don't like about that scene
is that every man on the face of the earth hasn't been forced to watch it yet.
But that's my angry woman talking. Ahhhh!

I guess there's some times when John Tucker Must Die just doesn't quite cut it.

Is it a rape scene?

I just watched Clerks for the first time a few weeks ago. But I have fallen in love with that movie. Such an awesome movie. Also, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. 'Nuff said!

I watched Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd last night. I still love it like I did the first time I saw it, easily one of my favorite movies. Despite how (literally) dark the movie is, it's still a really beautiful movie.

I swear the very last moment of the film looks like a painting, I get chills every time I see it. Also, I think the opening sequence is brilliant.

I saw Apollo 18 today.

I wasn't expecting it to be a good movie and... well, it lived up to expectations.

I wouldn't even recommend catching it on netflix a few months from now.

I finally got round to Michael Collins, the DVD of witch I got for Christmas. A very, very good movie. Very tragic


Made me ashamed to be British at parts, I have to admit.

Last movie I went to see in the theater was "The Help". REALLY good film, I liked it a lot.

Really excited for Lion King, because I'm a nerd like that, and Abduction! Looks like some epic special effects ^.^ And way better role for Taylor Lautner than being the only reason I watch the Twilight series XD

I bought the Lion King today!
I'm really looking forward to seeing it again^^

Good memories.

Ah I love that movie. You should check out The Wind That Shakes The Barley if you haven't yet. Very good if you're into that sort of things.

It's movies like this that make me happy to be Irish so.

I watched Hesher last night. Pretty good.

Although there really wasn't a coherent plot, which kind of came across as sloppy at times, but I thought the main character more than made up for it. Joseph-Gordon Levitt was great, I loved him in this. The great thing about his character is that he's pretty much built to be unlikable yet he is likable. You just can't hate him. Natalie Portman was nothing too special imo. Rainn Wilson did a great job, I love it when comedians take on more serious roles. And the kid was decent for the most part.

I liked it, I'd definitely watch it again.

I'm watching Advent Children Complete right now. I've seen it before, but this is the first time in 1080p (my new monitor is full HD, while my TV is only half HD). I bought the blu-ray while I was in Japan and while it unfortunately lacks English subtitles, it DOES have the English track with all it's original English cast.

Even if you're not a fan of Final Fantasy VII, you should still watch it. It's GORGEOUS and has a pretty faithful dub.

Best film I've seen all year has to be "Drive". I just loved it, very slow moving at the start but really picks up in the second half. And the soundtrack just made the film even better, brilliant film if you haven't seen it yet you should check it out.

I just finished watching Inglorious Basterds...


That movie had be at the end of my seat, with my heart actually beating out of its chest at different points, from the sheer intensity of the dialogue and situations. ♥♥♥♥ing brilliant.
