OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

[Ruatha]

I'd like to recommend "Amelie from Montmarte".
A really good film that makes you kind of happy!

And the early Pedro Almodovar films where good to;
"Women on the verge of nervous breakdown" (Not sure of the English title) was really fun!

Another film that surprised me was "The Crying Game" (I think it was called that) about an british soldier that was kidnapped by the IRA, then killed and one of the IRA members who got to know him goes and seeks up the soldiers girlfriend, than things start to happen.
That was one of the few films that's surprised me.

"Saving Private Ryan" was a good film to, realistic.

As to Star Wars I think the Last one (Episode II) is the best, altough it can't beat the feeling I had when I saw the first one, was it in 1977?
I like the big scenes in Episode II, the mass Jedi fight and the huge troops movements.
The Aliens series is also good films I think.

Realistic?
Yeah right, and I have a Abram M1A3 in my parking lot.....
Nothing realistic have EVER come out of Hollywood, as far as war films is concerned. They all degenerate into "anti-war" films with stupid Messages to make you fear war. Then the others that are not "anti-war" are just a bunch of cheap flicks with bad scripts from people that have never put one foot on a battlefield.
And even worst, books that are suppose to be "real memories" from war veterans end up tuned down to be politicaly correct and not upset the readers.......

there are more, i know this looks a little anime They are loaded with ****y political correctness and leftish crap. How can anybody believe that a T-800 Terminator would come into a biker bar and not kill even one of those guys? Mind you, this happened before that Edward Furlong kid told him that he cannot kill people. Just stupid. I bet T3 will not be any better. Arnie fighting a girl? Please.......

I think that the Terminator was trying to keep a low profile that would not involve the police. A bar fight can be overlooked, but not a bar full of dead bodies. Remember, John Connor had already programmed the Terminator before sending it through time. I don't think he would have sent a killing machine back through time, especially if his ultimate goal was to save billions of lives.

You have to put things into perspective.
It was alot more realistic than the movies before it.

Have you seen "Schindler's list"? Quite good and based on true persons and events. But still a bit fictionalized I think.
You can ofcourse make a movie of 13 people sitting in a tent for three hours while two stand post outside, realistic war movie? yes. Good movie? no.
(No I'm not talking about any war that involves USA)

WTF?? There is someone out there that doesn't like the Terminator movies??! Say it isn't so!. that bar scene is one of the most amusing scenes hollywood has produced. If you want 'realisitic' I'd suggest you stay away from hollywood movies.

Did anyone else watch X-Men on Fox on Sunday? They showed a few scenes from the new movie. It looks like a SWAT team is invading the school. It looks pretty awesome. I can't wait for the movie.
