Green Lantern
The story was just soooooo simple and boring, don't like it

Back to the Future Parts I, II, & III
Took me long enough to finally get around to watching these. So good.

The Shawshank Redemption
Good, but not #1 at IMDb good.

Wristcutters: A Love Story
Really enjoyed this one. Surreal, quirky, and quite funny at times.

Blazing Saddles
Some good bits but overall didn't love it. Too Luny Tunes-ish for me and did not care for the end. Felt way out of place.

Win Win
Really quite good. Writer/director of The Station Agent and The Visitor. Both of which I liked. He also co-wrote....Up. I did not know that. And it stars Paul Giamatti. That automatically ups the rating.

I'm so envious of you. I'd love to watch these movies for the first time again.

Teuthida · 12-29-2011, 07:32 PM

Oh if only you knew how many of these sort of movies I've missed out on. Never saw the first three Star Wars in their entirety either.

Super 8
Really liked this. Didn't even need the alien bit. Great kid actors. The lens flare was fricking distracting though. Almost made me turn it off in the beginning. It's that bad.

Watched Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol last night. Really fantastic action movie.

Also saw Super 8 a few days ago - the characters in that movie (the kids) really made the movie.

Favorite line: "He's too stoned!"

I just saw War Horse. It was quite good, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Probably my favorite Spielberg movie since The Terminal. (I know Munich was a great film but it just wasnt really my cup of tea, and War of the worlds was only OK. )

Also, the music in War Horse is great. John Williams is like super old but hes still got it.

Shattered Glass
Really good movie. I had no idea what it was about and I really liked it. 7.5/10

Apocalypse Now
Eh...ok I guess. I got it mixed up with Full Metal Jacket and kept expecting the drill sergeant scene.

War Horse

Found a copy online. Pretty good. Beautifully shot, and you kind of know exactly what's going to happen, but it's definitely well done. Maybe a little too long and it's not something that will stick with me as super memorable, but it was fine .

I bet the horse dies at the end.

I'm watching the 2 Star Wars trilogies with neighbours (2 girls had never seen them). We're doing them in this order: 4,5,6,1,2,3
Yesterday it was time for Episode I. Some creatures speak a weird language and we hadn't loaded any subtitles... and the creepy thing was that I was able to translate pretty much all of it. Just out of memory. That's what you get when you watch it more than 5 times?

Combine 017 · 01-20-2012, 05:08 PM

Its not 2 trilogies, its a sextilogy.
And you watched episode one more than 5 times?
You brave soul, I could barely make it through the first time.

Meesa no thinks too badbad. brbrbrbrbrbrbbrbrrbbrbrbr.

The battles are pretty amazing.

And I'd rather see them as 2 separate trilogies. They're so different. We actually had a huge discussion with the girls about the large difference in style. They pointed out it makes no sense that the fighting style of 4/5/6 is slower than in 1/2/3. We did our best defending the SW lore, but in the end it comes down to the difference in film styles.
