Slumdog Millionaire. 9/10.

Bloody brilliant.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. 8/10

I always thought I had seen this movie, but I guess that was just some parts of it. Or I was too young to remember.

Great movie, superb ending. I was actually anticipating the last 10 throughout the whole movie... and it didn't disappoint, I laughed out loud.

I watched some movies I had previously seen.

Titanic 8/10
I remember how shocking it first was to see people fall to their death. Maybe it was because I was younger, maybe because the times have changed.

The Bourne Supremecy & The Bourne Ultimatum
I decided not to see Identity again, because I had already seen it 3 or 4 times, and it's not a movie that will never bore you. Ultimatum was really good, although the story really started to repeat itself (Bourne wants revenge and his memory back). Supremecy was good, but a bit stuck between Identity and Ultimatum. It lacked the clever tricks of Ult. and the cool action of Ide.
Oh and the ending of Ultimatum is absolutely genious. Makes me laugh every time.

Aw, that's a shame. Was hoping it was going to be good. I got into rap through Biggie about a year or two before he was killed. Damn, can't believe I'm the same age as him now.

well, i'd still give it a shot. i don't know if what i said really had an effect on whether you'd see it or not, i just thought it was kind of garbage. i think it could've been put together a little better than it was. i mean, for it being based back in the early to mid nineties, it sure as hell had a lot of aspects from later years (2008); cars, clothes, etc. like i was saying to earl last night, it just seemed too far-fetched to possibly be real, i mean for being what some call "the greatest rapper of all time", the least they could have done was make a half-way decent movie about the guy. i love biggie, but this movie was an ill-made portrait of his life.

Saw Gran Torino yesterday, awsome, best movie ive seen in a long time. Eastwood is getting screwed out of an Oscar nomination, he was amazing in it.

Let's be honest here... it was Clint Eastwood being Clint Eastwood with a lot of non-actor around him.

It was a fun movie, but I could see why it got "shafted"

Here's the problem with that... the movie was technically released in 08... limited release, but in the span of what people dub "Oscar bait" season so... it won't be nominated for next year... it just wasn't nominated.

Yes, that movie whooped Slumdog Millionaire's ass!

Dead Poet's Society. 8/10
Good story, enough humor/romance. And that actor's name Ethan Hawke sounds SO familiar. I know I've encountered him on IMDb several times, but I just can't find out where else I'd know him from.

Citizen Kane. 8/10
Golden oldie here. The ending was great. It's amazing how well this movie aged.

I also saw Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain again. 9/10
So many great details. A beggar who refuses to take money because he doesn't 'work on Sunday'. A woman who kisses the portrait of her late husband and instantly spray-cleans the picture.

City of Ember

Nice set designs.

Let's try to start making individual threads for movies in the new "Movies & Television" forum.
