OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Kamog · #1 March 20th, 2003, 06:46 AM

I just saw the movie, "Cradle 2 the Grave". It was OK, just another typical Jet Li movie: a few good kung fu fights, some random action scenes, and a story that doesn't make complete sense. It didn't seem like a sequel even though there's a 2 in the title. Shanghai Knights was a lot better. In general, I like Jackie Chan's movies more than Jet Li's. The comedy in Jackie Chan's movies make them a lot more entertaining, even though Jet Li's kung fu seems to be better. Jackie Chan is getting old and his fight scenes aren't as intense as they used to be.

Um, I think the number "2" is replacing the word "to", as in "Cradle TO the Grave"... In other words, the producers were making a lame attempt to be hip & happening by copying the type of slang used by hip-hop artists and "l33t hax0rs"

If you already knew that, I apologize for explaining your joke

One movie I didn't see in the theater but checked out on cable Last weekend was John Q w/ Denzel Washington. Pretty good for a drama flick, might even watch it again.

I saw Tears of the Sun this past weekend. It was pretty good, if you're into action flicks or like to see small units operating. It's a Bruce Willis flick, and I try to see all of his movies (at least the action flicks). I just wish he would get a role that would let him smile. Other than The Whold Nine Yards (and maybe The Kid, which I still haven't seen), I haven't seen him smile in a single film for the past 5 or 6 years. Come on, Demi couldn't have been that good, right?

I think you're right! Bruce Willis doesn't smile much. Hmm, yes, he did smile in The Whole Nine Yards, but I don't remember him smiling in Sixth Sense or Armageddon. Well, in those two movies, he had some unfortunate things happen to him, so I guess he had nothing to smile about. Speaking of Demi, haven't heard anything about her for a few years...

Normally on a quiet friday night I enjoy watching a wife movie then a horror flick.

Don't know which one causes more horror some times but...

Well Last night I sat down and watched two fantastic movies... Bullitt and The Italian Job. I had not seen either of these movies for about 20 years.

All I got to say is Wow. I remember them been full of action. But I forgot what fantastic stories they have linking the action together.

I recommend both of these movies to everyone.

Steve McQeen's Bullitt or Bullet as in the movie with Tupac Shakur & Mickey Rourke?

I have seen Dreamcatcher lately and would not recommend it for anything but a $.99 rental.

The Core was surprisingly entertaining with one of the worst stories I have ever seen. But the characters worked well together and the action kept the movie going. I liked it.

Basic = Basic trash. Not worth renting even for $.99.

The Knock Around Guys was a nice Mob diVersion movie. I liked it. Good cast, ok story line.

Sniper II - Not a bad movie and worth the rental cost.

Red Dragon - I will be honest I was really apprehensive about seeing this movie following that dismal POS Hanibal flick done a few years back. Red Dragon is a remake of the movie Man Hunter starring William Peterson, (Now in CSI). Man Hunter was a good movie, and it did pre-quil SOL.

But I have to admit that I was very surprised by Red Dragon. It was a good movie and one that I will buy for my DVD Collection.
