OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Kamog · #1 January 29th, 2006, 03:46 PM

I saw "Munich". This is the kind of movie that I would normally not go see. A friend talked me into it, saying that it got super reviews and it's based on history and it's really well done and so on.

Well, it's by Steven Spielberg so I thought it can't be bad. Well, I went with my friend and saw the movie and I didn't like it at all. Not because the story or acting was bad, but because it was so dark and depressing.

I like happy or exciting movies that make me feel good, not these gloomy tales about misery and revenge. Next time, I'm going to pick the movie.

The Transport 2

Man I don't know about this movie at all. It had a really bad story line, very cheezy stunts, and some really bad acting. But some of the elements of the film were enjoyable to watch.

I would have to say that this one is one that you might consider renting or buying after it goes into the $0.99 cent bin.

I just bought "Serenity", and LOVE that flick.

Bought "Batman Begins,too. Nicely done.

I have to agree with both of your comments about Serenity and Batman Begins.

The Constant Gardener - Very very boring. Rent at own risk.

The Four Brothers - Better than it looks and sounds. Has a few cool shoot outs and the plot is weak but ok. Nice movie to spend an evening with when you have nothing better to do but clip your toe nails and eat pop corn.

Just rented "Spanglish", and was actually VERY surprised that I liked it

( it was a "Date" movie, what can I say ? )!?!?!? Good performances by Adam Sandler and Cloris Leachman.

And I hate

Tea Leoni

even more than I did before.....

I just saw Firewall. I liked it. This is a pretty good, exciting movie, with excellent acting by Harrison Ford.

I saw 16 Blocks. Not bad, it's OK entertainment. Good old Bruce Willis action movie, simple story about one good guy against lots of bad guys.

DOOM - A mindless and violent movie, not very interesting, shallow story. There's a first-person-shooter sequence in the movie where the guy goes around with a big gun and shooting, with the same point of view as in the game. It was just like watching over somebody's shoulder who's playing the game, and it was kind of boring. In general, it seems that movies which are based on video games tend not to be great movies. This movie is similar to Resident Evil in many ways but even Resident Evil, which wasn't that good, was still better than Doom.

That's becuase DOOM had very little story. A movie needs a story; a game, not so much.
