Demolition Man. Sylvester Stalone vs Wesley Snipes, set in a peaceful 2032. It was fun to see their take on the future, but the movie was pretty bad. Oh, terrible one-liners ("You're on TV!" *grabs a TV and hits the bad guy with it*).
6/10

No Country for Old Men. 7/10.

Disturbing.

Bond you cant be serious.....

I thought you were cool.

Saw Wall-E the other day. Quite good. Liked the end credits a lot. But no Kung Fu Panda.

Just saw Step Brothers. I liked it, it was entertaining.

I have no fucking clue how the budget came to be only 7 million less than Talladega Nights, clocking in at $65 million, for a movie that centers around a house and has literally two shots of boat-riding.

But yeah, it was a non-stop jokeathon. Probably a 7/10 for me.

I saw Tropic Thunder last night. It had some very hilarious moments, and some good surprise cameos. I don't know if Stiller will ever top Zoolander, but this was a really good comedy.

I thought it was a decent excercise in storytelling, but having the story really be about Tommy Lee Jone's character didn't work for me as most of the movie never involved him and its hard to care about a story when the main character is barely in the film.

Also, I thought Anton Chigur was overhyped. He was just your run iof the mill psychopath character with severe features and a odd haircut. Ledger's Joker is FAR superior IMO.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is awesome. I really liked the silent section of my film history class. Those were some good days before the damn talkies took over.

I saw Tropic Thunder today as well. I thought it was pretty good. It's definitely a great concept for a movie and overall I enjoyed it. I don't always like Jack Black, but I liked him here. Bonus: Justin Theroux who is a alum from my college had screenwriting, story, and executive producer credits...

Collateral. 7/10.

BlueFire · 08-20-2008, 03:06 AM

Saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Pretty good. Liked it a lot.

Angrist · 08-22-2008, 06:25 PM

Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams...

Guess that movie.

(I had already seen it earlier.)

Saw 21 last night. Not amazing, but glad I saw it. Didn't follow the book too closely, but it's a movie, it needs action.

The book probably didn't follow the true real-life story too closely either.

In real-life, the card counting genius was an asian. In the movie, an asian is the just the goofy, incompetent sidekick.

The book was written as non-fiction, and I've never seen it disputed. In fact, it's the only reason they are on the map.

The movie is only "inspired" by the true-story.
