OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

In the real world, Mr glass isn't going to break out of prison and bug the hero...

And the FBI would just track him down if he did... he'd be pretty high on the wanted list, after all.

I thought the ending was pretty solid.

I liked Unbreakable. It was the best of the 3 movies so far IMO (Sixth Sense and Signs being the other 2). As much as I want to see his upcoming The Village, I'll probably only see it when it comes out on dvd. I hope to see some movies over the Labor Day weekend; that's when my wife goes to a family reunion in another part of the state. I usually stay behind so I can work my part-time job. If she goes this year, then I plan on seeing quite a few movies. I just hope some of the ones I want to see are still around by then.

Don't know if they've already been posted but my two best movies I've seen recently would be Phone Booth and Runaway Jury. Not mainstream but definitely worth the rental IMO.

Seen Phone Booth. I thought it was pretty good. Fortunately, my cell-phone bill doesn't have an itemized list of calls made, so if I were contemplating about getting some extra on the side, I wouldn't have to go to a phone booth.

As far as Runaway Jury, haven't seen it yet. Loved teh book. I wander how much different the two are. Will probably wait until I see it on HBO to see it.

I never read the book but the movie is just plain awesome. The twists in it were done perfectly IMHO. I highly recommend this movie to all.

A couple good movies I've seen recently: Pearl Harbor, and Payback. Payback is a little older (1999), and has quite a bit of violence and language, but the plot and humor was really good I thought. Everybody knows already what Pearl Harbor is about.

I saw Hero.

A good sword-fighting action movie set in ancient China, in a similar style to movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Iron Monkey. Jet Li is an expert swordsman, with superhuman speed and accuracy. Some great gravity-defying fight scenes. Donnie Yen and Zhang Ziyi are in it too.

This movie is not out in theaters here in Canada yet. I watched the Chinese DVD with English subtitles.
