I just saw the new Star Trek movie last night, it was pretty good. It had a lot of references to the older movies/shows, and the plot was very good as well. It was a bit more flashy than most Star Trek movies, but that's to be expected in this generation.

Saw the new star trek, thought it was cool. I made comments about it in another thread though so I wont say more about it now.

I watched The Golden Compass, surprisingly good I thought, just left me wondering one thing at the end though which was... where's the rest of the film???

It's a trilogy of books so the story would continue into the next film...but it doesn't look like they'll be made.

The audio books are quite good. Different actors for every character with the narration by the author. Very enjoyable.

Yeah...considering the first movie bombed pretty hard, it's not likely a sequel will arise and if it does, probably bomb harder then the first one.

It's a shame. It's a much better story and film than Harry Potter IMO.

Anyway. Recently watched 2 Japanese Anime's.

Paprika - About a dream machine that can allow others to enter your dreams and also allows you to jump to your dream whenever you want.
Of course the technology is mis-used with the concequence being everyones dreams beginning to merge into one and people getting killed as they have 'waking dreams' over which they have no control. There's much more to it than that but if I say any more I will spoil it. Definately worth a watch. Highly recommended. Available in English Dub.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - About a girl who realises she can leap through time and begins to do so in order to craft her life to the way she wants it to be. With some funny plot twists and an in depth story this is yet another film I highly recommend. Available with English Subs.

Paprika

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

It's funny how I downloaded both of those at the same time and watched them consecutively, that was half a year ago. They are both finely crafted animes. I'd recommend watching Mind Game(2004) as well.

Street Fighter.. my mind now knows horrors beyond its greatest imagination.

How one movie manages to get so much wrong is beyond me.

I take it you mean the absolutly diabolical version with Jean Claude Van Dam in? I sincerely hope you do anyway. Dont let that put you off. Check out the Street fighter animated movie (anime) it is fucking brilliant. And you get to see Chun Li's tits

Anime tits don't turn me on. Isn't that weird because I set the bar pretty low.

I watched Paprika a year ago or so. I just received The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, I'll watch it within a week.

Teuthida · 05-28-2009, 05:26 PM

^ All great. Think Mind Game is my favorite of the three. Awesome movie. Actually used it for some project for a class.

Just saw Bolt. I rather enjoyed it. A few plotholes...but still very fun.

BreakABone · 05-30-2009, 09:51 PM

Just watched Bolt on Danny's recommendation, not only is it not horrible, it was actually a very enjoyable movie.

Professor S · 06-01-2009, 03:02 PM

Outpost. It's availale on XBL Netflix. It's actually a pretty taught thriller based on Nazi occult research. Definitely a well above average B-Movie.

Coraline

I never read the book so I didn't know what to expect...but I did not expect that. It was like watching nightmare. Great visuals but very little story. Almost felt more like watching someone play a video game than a movie. The music was really nice though...soft spooky fairytailish.

Of the Neil Gaiman based movies/shows I've seen, sadly I think this is my least favorite. Hmm, I forget how I felt about Mirrormask. Think liked that more.

Daytime Drinking

A lot of eating, drinking, and bad luck. I usually like slice of life movies like this but...I dunno, maybe I wasn't in the mood or the fact that I don't drink distanced me. Was ok I guess.
