Her voice sounded like meg from family guy.

But yeah in all honesty she was cute as a button.

Ju-on: The Grudge, the original japanese version. Hella scary.

[veristic]

Lol thats because she IS Meg from Family Guy Emsley.

hmm lets see. been watching Chappelle's show on Netflix.

watched Flesh, TX - what a piece of crap that was, acting was horrible, chicks looked like worn out skanks.

 

I still have Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2, and something else on my hard drive. but I have no interest in watching them.

[Bambi]

I watched Unthinkable, Really good!

[L.S.D]

just watched Prince Of Persia at local cinema. Not bad for a movie based on a game. Quite ok plot, good action and platforming worthy of POP, and a sexy damsel who somehow sound more British than Persian,Middle Eastern lol.

Original Star Wars trilogy.

 

Just like when I re-watched the Matrix after not having touched it in a long time, I'm amazed at how different my perspective of the films have become.

 

Though having seen a spur of complaints from the prequels lately on the internet, I hate to say that I notice some similarities between the things they did wrong and the original. At times I'm at a loss because there is never a straight path story wise. This makes me feel as if the things happening on the screen are just happening because they are. You can say it's imitating real life in a sense that, you really don't know what tomorrow will bring.

 

The only real difference that I can see when the same mistakes are executed though, is that the prequels are CG rendered shit. While the original has actual living things slated in their scenes (a complaint I often hear, is that the prequels have too much shit on the screen at one time, like during the chase in episode II between the shape shifter and Obi-Wan, and that that makes the scene barely discernible. Yet the originals are praised for that attribute, one of the reviews I saw even stated that if not for that the scenes would not appear so lively).

 

I plan on watching the prequels shortly after this, the problem I have with that though is that I honestly doubt I'll be able to sit through it all. Just like I can't sit through all of Lord of the Rings. I fell asleep on episode 1 in the theaters when I was ten. Episode 2 I saw when it came out on DvD and I only happened to catch the ending because the few times that I tried to watch it I would fall asleep again. Episode 3 I didn't even bother with, though everyone in my school saw it at that time and praised it beyond all reason, read "Idiots that would consider the Saw series a modern day Picasso praised Episode 3".

 

As to my opinion on the original Star Wars series, I love them. I'm also amazed by the effects used at the time, and can see how Lucas sucks dick when not on a short leash. Creative freedom is something deserved to all, but in this case I feel as if Lucas only thrived because his freedom's were denied with his beginnings.

Older movies are better - and movies shot in an old school style tend to be better.

 

For example off the top of my head movies shot without a shit load of special effects that are recent that are great:

 

Shoot em up - No country for old men - Gran torino - The book of eli (some special effects but rely's mostly on good props)

A good movie only rely's on special effects to boost the visual aspects only, such as the road...

 

Avatar was a one off a great movie designed from the ground up to be special effects entirely.

finally got around to watching Iron Man 2...... meh. it was alright. I really didn't see what the hype was about with the first one. so this one was no different for me. Iron Man is just a uninteresting character to me. At least I had Scarlett to look at.

 

Kick Ass and the Losers still sits unloved on my HDD.

[emsley]

I saw a clip of iron man 2 - all he was doing was talking.

[Inky]

I've watched about 40 minutes of Prince of Persia.....

I'm not even sure is Meh is a strong enough word to describe it.
