Recommend a film!

[daniel]

Well since I am first I would like to say the purpose of this thread is to well....nominate a film that maybe others haven't seen but what you think others may like. The rarer the film the better, i.e. saying star wars is ok but it is probable that most people have seen it.

I nominate Stephen King: The Langoliers a made for TV film (from the collection of books - "Four Past Midnight") about a flight that goes through a time warp leaving only 10 people on the plane, kinda like the Bermuda triangle phenomenon. Here is a link: http://www.firsttvdrama.com/show2/history/lango.php3

I suggest you watch this i think it is great, if you cannot get the film , the book is better anyway, get that too:)

[jetblue]

Any of the 25 Blind Swordsman:Zatoichi movie's staring Shintaro Katsu.
They are very true to life and unique. Not as dramatic as Kurosawa's film's but very well made and entertainig. Some are in black & white but most of them are in colour.
Also check out Casshern. Good futureistic japanese stuff.



There are'nt many good american film's. The latest one by Michael Mann is good,Collateral.
Chronicle's of riddick was good. Thought the story focused to much on that blasted knife. More like Chronicles of the knife.

[Jim]

Haven't seen The Langoliers since it had first aired on TV. I should dig out my tape of it sometime...

There are'nt many good american film's.With over 100 years of filmmaking in the US, there are more than enough good films to last a lifetime.

My pick for this point in the thread? Amadeus. It's recent enough that people will recognize the actors (and therefore a little easier to get other people to watch it), and is still one of my favorites.

The jury's still out on the Director's Cut though...

[Kilu]

Amadeus. I think I have seen that one. The actor who played Amadeus had an insane laugh in the film :)

[Astrolounge]

Was it Kefka-ish?

[Charon]

Recently seen two damn good films I'd like to recommend.

First up, Saw. A damn good film, guess you'd call it a thriller. Best plot twist I've seen in years, and definately my favourite film of 2004. Don't wanna say anything else cos it's much better if you just watch it.

Second, Ichi the Killer. Not one for the faint of heart. It's a nice Japanese gorefest. If the concepts of over the top torture, violent rape and sliced arteries spewing forth fountains of blood upset you then you might wanna give it a miss. Otherwise, damn enjoyable. Plot's a little weird and makes very little sense, but there's more than enough intestines and arms being ripped off and whatnot to please even the most bloodthirsty of us. :) Definately the most gore I've seen in a film.

[Charon]

Add to the list, Final Destination 2. Finally got ahold of it and I wasn't dissappointed. If you liked the first one you'll like this. Some very cool deaths.

[Lord Draud]

lol sounds like some of my kind of movies! star ship troopers! i have the play boy with denis richerds in it its the only one a own i swear!

[Astrolounge]

Haven't seen anything good recently.
But I might check some of those out.

[jetblue]

Over the holiday I rented Dream Catcher. It was good. The downed alien ship kinda freaked me out.
The movie kinda reminded me of D2 for dreamcast.

[Lord Draud]

i didn't realy like it the aliens them self were sorta....over the topish and it just didn't have that great movie feeling you know the one you get after watching starwars or termenator 2

[tanisthalon]

I recommend 'The Eye', and watch the Jap version before Hollywood destroy it with the remake. Also 'Dark City', a good few years old now but a great sci-fi film!

[Kilu]

Dark City is good, I definitely agree. Recommended to everyone.

[Lord Draud]

i must ask has anyone seen blade 3? i was hoping to get a feel for it befor i send/wast money on it

[tanisthalon]

Yes I have seen Blade Trinity :).
I preferred it to the second but the first still rules the trilogy. Excellent start, slow story building the middle but more than watchable, then a great climax but felt a little empty with the last 30 secs/minute of the film.
I do recommend it, it is very enjoyable. There are many critics out there. It combines elements of the previous films also.
Anyways the girl that plays Abigail is tasty. Looking forward to the spin-off!

[Kilu]

I didn't even know of a new Blade movie. Just goes to show how little I actually pay attention to series of movies that has not really interested me to begin with.

I'm looking at the cast (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0359013/fullcredits) of Blade Trinity right now, and I'm a bit more interested in it actually. Some interesting names in there. But, I don't see any character named Angela in there?

[Elhaym van Houten]

^^ I recommend my favourite romantic comedy of this year:

Love actually

actually, it's from last year, but I only got to watch it a few weeks ago...
it's hilariously funny, with a good deal of situational comedy making the more cheesy parts less cheesy...
definitely a must-see :)

[tanisthalon]

Humble pie time, its Abigail not Angela. It was a few weeks ago and if my memory serves me correctly she only gets called it once, the rest of the time its 'Whistler'

[Kilu]

Ok then. I wonder why Jessica Biel sound so familiar to me :ponder: It's not like i have seen any of those movies or tv series she is credited to. Strangest thing.

[tanisthalon]

She looks familiar to me. The missus believes she played Miss Winters in Scream 3. Not the real Miss Winters, the actress acting as Miss Winters. I am getting confused now lol.
Hot chick that can look after herself. Although not as hot as her from 24 and The Girl Next Door!!!
I think I should recommend The Girl Next Door.

In addition to Jessica Biel here is a list of films, I remember her in Cellular now:

# Elizabethtown (2005) (post-production) .... Ellen
# Stealth (2005) (post-production) .... Lt. Kara Wade
# Blade: Trinity (2004) .... Abigail Whistler
# Cellular (2004) .... Chloe
# It's a Digital World (2004) (voice) .... Regrettal
# The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) .... Erin
# The Rules of Attraction (2002) .... Lara Holleran
... aka Regeln des Spiels, Die (Germany)
# Summer Catch (2001) .... Tenley Parrish
# I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998) .... Allie
# Ulee's Gold (1997) .... Casey Jackson
# "7th Heaven" (1996) TV Series .... Mary Camden Rivera (1996-2001)
... aka 7th Heaven: Beginnings (USA: rerun title)
... aka Seventh Heaven

[Kilu]

This might be a good time to resurrect the Celb's Thread. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

[jetblue]

Finally saw Alexander. It was good. About as good as Troy. Would make a good weekend movie.
Good to hear the ancient names. They did leave out much of the story. Like the burning of persepolis for that woman (cant remember her name) and the visit to the egyptian oracle or the building of that mole to the Island and others.
What was great was the battle in India. Those elephants were awsome. That little dude on top of that armored elephant throwing spears down at the enemy was so cool.

When I was younger I read that there were still temple ruins in afganistan and southern russia that were made by the greeks to honor alexander. The muslims probably destroyed them like those big buddah statues.

[FlashFirer]

I recommend Seabiscuit...it's a good movie. I thought it was gonna be crappy but it wasn't.

[Astrolounge]

Really?
I didn't like it...

[Lord Draud]

the girl next door the unrated one...great movie

[DR_DIOX]

mmm, from de few movies i saw this year, i should recommend :Jersey Girl. directed by Kevin Smith.

is not an amazong movie, but it entretains enought.

and, if it's for a classic, i should recommend "Blade Runner". man, you have to take a look to those backgrounds...
realy awesome.

[Lord Draud]

blade runner is a movie that every one has to see in order to be considered a movie goer i mean its a ground breaking sleeper cult hit!

[tanisthalon]

Whatever happened to Ridley Scotts Blade Runner Ultimate Directors Cut, that was meant to be released during 2004???

[DR_DIOX]

what ?? another director's cut ??

i had no idea about that.

well, if is it true, i'll buy the DVD.

[Lord Draud]

anyone enjoy blazing saddleds? or young fankinstein? or space balls? robin hood men in tights?

[jetblue]

I grew up watching Mel Brooks. All his movies are great.
I wish one of these cable channels would have a Brooks-a-thon or something.

[Astrolounge]

anyone enjoy blazing saddleds? or young fankinstein? or space balls? robin hood men in tights?
I have seen the last two, and they're damn hilarious.
I liked Robin hood men in tights best of the two.

[tanisthalon]

Blazing Saddles is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FlashFirer]

Can I un-recommend one?
Welcome to the Jungle.
I mean, if you guys were Brazilian you'd understand the reason...

[Lord Draud]

what about that one with the rock in brazil? the run down i have never been to brazil but i hope to go one day but if its ful of gun toting rebles that might put a hold on my plans

[MizuiroHime]

House of flying Daggers is my fave!I love Zhang Ziyi,the battle seen are sugoi!

[Yume]

Dawn of the Dead (2004) - I've watched this film already like 1x times. Its awesome... Everyone who havent watched this movie already and is friend with games â la Resident Evil / Silent Hill should check it out.
Its not the violence what makes this film good. The shocking scenes are brilliant. It wont let ya cold, I promise!
I'm not really someone who is saying like "bloooood!!! O____O", thats not the point but dawn of the dead was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Even if it was produced on low budget. It got something VERY special...

Greetz, Yume

[jetblue]

I agree 100%. Awsome movie. The unedited version is great.
That preacher sent chills up my spine the way he talked. Its what resident evil 1&2 should of been like. Even the 1970 version is good. Im glad they keept out the bikers in the new one.
Ive seen both over 5 times and read the comic books. Still looking for part 3&4 of the comic.

[Jalk]

I'd recommand Kill Bill I and II. At first, I was a little reluctant to see them but there are really great. The references to old kung fu and western movies are really well made. The violence is so extreme that it becomes less scary than funny after a while. Finally, all the characters Tarantino created for Kill Bill are really great, especially The Bride, Elle Driver and Bill. There are maybe not the best movies of the last ten years but you definitely have a good time watching Uma Thurman fighting...

[Astrolounge]

I think the violence effects were just a TAD over done.
Other than that I would agree with you Jalk.

[Lord Draud]

lol i like resident evil 2, best line ever! STARS!!!!!!!

[tanisthalon]

Isn't there a third Resident Evil film in the pipeline???

[Kilu]

Probably :dance:
*check IMDB*
Resident Evil: Afterlife (http://imdb.com/title/tt0432021/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxzZz0xfGxtPTIwMHx0dD1vbnxwbj 0wfHE9cmVzaWRlbnQgZXZpbHxodG1sPTF8bm09b24_;fc=16;f t=20;fm=1) has been announced and is planned on theaters for 2006.

[Yume]

Yea.. there should be a third one.. at least if you trust in the end of RE Movie 2.

Greetz, Yume

Edit: lol, kilu was a bit faster :p

[Lord Draud]

well thats good to know but will there be another nemisis?

[Kilu]

Who knows. Maybe it's based on RE Outbreak or something. I have yet to see the Apocalypse, so I have no idea how it ends, so I can't really guess what happens next :p

[tanisthalon]

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gif
It may probably be based on or around the 4th game, as Alice is infected with the virus presumably similar to the villagers in the game. Anderson has been quoted as saying something like :- the 1st was a prequel to the game, 2nd intersects the games, 3rd a sequel to the games.
Only put the spoiler there in case whomever reads it hasnt seen the 2nd film and doesnt know Alice is infected :).

[Yuffie]

I recommend "The Little Mermaid". I watched it for the first time in ages the other day and there's so much you miss in those sort of films when you're a kid. :D

It's like pantomime in this country, it appears innocent to young children but adults can spot all the hidden innuendo in it. :rofl:
There were so many jokes I never realised had other meanings. :p

[Lord Draud]

heh yeah they do that all the time, even in things like buggs bunny has a lot

[Jalk]

The Silence of the Lamb.
I had seen that movie three years ago and I just saw it again. It is truly a masterpiece. The story itself is quite interesting. A serial killer known as "Buffalo Bill" murders young women and rips their skins before throwing them in a river.
Even the FBI seems to have difficulties to find the murderer. Their only hope lies in Hannibal Lecter, an ex-psychatrist who has been sent to jail after having eaten several of his patients. But Lecter accepts to communicate with one people only : Clarice Starling, a trainee. In exchange of story about her past, he agrees to giver her clues, riddles to solve, and which, maybe, just maybe, may help her solving the case.

What I liked in this movie is the careful construction of the atmosphere. The scenes between Clarice and Lecter, although it's all about words, are as scary as the "gore" scenes are. The story is cleverly made too, even if the viewer has immediately all the cards in his hand. You see what is going to happen, and you can't help to hope it IS not going to happen.
The actors are really great too, especially Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins.
Well, I know it's not a particulary recent movie but, it is always good to discover or re-discover good things. ^^

[Lord Draud]

last unicorn is good oldie, i liked Silence of the lambs too and the second one i have yet to se the remade red dragon

[DonQuixote]

Two best movies Ive seen so far this year (no actually last year now that i think about it) are Boondock Saints and Equilibrium. Very cool.

[Lord Draud]

ah dude Equilibrium it beyond good it is a insta classic in my eyes i in fact played a hypheron juicer in rifts that was just like a tetra gramaton cleric

[bazeeke]

I-Robot was cool, i thought. Managed (more or less) to keep the Asimov spirit, but some parts of the script come from different books, which can be... disturbing

[Jalk]

Bazeeke : The most disturbing thing about I-Robot was, to my point of view, to see a thirty-years old sexy Susan Calvin :D

[BAMAToNE]

I forgot to mention this before, but a film I saw recently I thought was pretty good was The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, staring Bill Murray. It has very hokey underwater special effects, but that just makes it all the more funnier. ;)

I'm not even sure how to describe it really. It's one of the weirdest movies I think I've ever seen. This is the plot outline from IMDb.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362270): "With a plan to exact revenge on a mythical shark that killed his partner, oceanographer Steve Zissou (Murray) rallies a crew that includes his estranged wife (Huston), a journalist (Blanchett), and a man who may or may not be his son (Wilson)."

I definitely am glad I saw it, though. And I recommend it to all!

[Lord Draud]

i gotta admit it sounds cool, anyone seen The Lost Boys? i just got the VHS i saw it years ago anyone know the link between the lost boys and the show 24?

[Maxin]

24 is my FAVORITE show!!!

Besides Kiefer Sutherland being in that movie, is there any other link?

[Astrolounge]

The life aquatic was great. What I loved is just about everything you can think of is in that movie.

[Lord Draud]

grin you guessed it... now that i look for him i see him alot

[Sobou]

Three movies I would recommend are oldies, but awesome.

First, Young Guns. One of the only movies i've heard of that is based around Billy the Kid. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't want to see a crazy Emilio Estivez with two hands guns shooting like crazy? =D

The second and third are the two Ghostbusters movies. I loved these things. Bill Murray and Dan Akyroyd (spelling is wrong, I know) were awesome in these movies.

[Lord Draud]

young frankenstine i rewatched it and it totaly kicked ass the oldies are the best in some cases i mean some of thses new movies just suck the ass

[bjp4444]

just saw house of flying daggers. could watch it over and over and over, but i'm a sucker for that type of movie (and zhang ziyi also, of course)

go pistons!
-bjp

[dyce]

First, Young Guns. One of the only movies i've heard of that is based around Billy the Kid. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't want to see a crazy Emilio Estivez with two hands guns shooting like crazy? =D

:D lol, i like to shoot like crazy in counter strike with the duelies. makes you look a like a fool tho...

[Lord Draud]

has anyone seen 13 ghosts? my brother said it kicked ass i never say it any thoughts?comments?

[Kilu]

Haven't seen it, but the name reminds me of another film I will recommend. 12 Monkeys. Awesome film. Simply brilliant.

[silverDistortioN]

has anyone seen 13 ghosts? my brother said it kicked ass i never say it any thoughts?comments?it sucked. horror movies are so retarded nowadays...

[Lord Draud]

i thougt 12 monkey was a bit stupid my self, but i guess to ech his own, i liked movie like postman and Willow

[DonQuixote]

12 Monkoes was good imo, although the future scenes were a bit aged by the time i saw it.

[Marona]

'Rudy' is a good movie and heart warming story.so by the power of the putties...get it get it get it get it get it!!!!

[bjp4444]

just finished (and I mean just) shaun of the dead. just fantastic.

go pistons!
-bjp

[Sobou]

Oh my God, I can't believe I forgot about this movie series...

Back to the Future I, II and III. One of the best movie trilogies ever imo.

Christopher Lloyd as the Doc was awesome. Every other phrase in BTTF1 from him was "Great Scott!" followed by him running off or fainting. XD Great stuff.

[Lord Draud]

dark crystal, if anyone remembers that movie its freaking great

[jetblue]

Dark Crystal is totally awsome.http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/star.gifhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/star.gifhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/star.gifhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/star.gifhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/star.gif Puppets always freak me out.


Just finished watching "Alone in the Dark". It was very low budget but ok. Good for rental. I give it http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/star.gif and http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/thumbs_up.gif. It would of gotten 2 stars if they did'nt use that Slater guy.

[daniel]

ahh sobou nice to see someone that likes Back to the future:), loved every minute. some plot holes with regard to how time travel would really work if possible but very fun and imagination through the roof. great cast excellent set of films. Only bone I have to pick is that they cut out the part on back to the future 2 were old biff has changed the past, returns and dies/disappears. its a great part and should have been left in the final version

I just watched return of the jedi, the new updated DVD version. Even better than i remembered it, and i did like the way they have put the new anakin at the end ...they remastered him in. Other enhancements. Can't wait to watch updated versions of Empire Strikes back and A new hope.

But ppl, who can't wait until may 19th:):):):) revenge of the sith, that should be GREAT

[bjp4444]

watched friday night lights today. never thought a football (american) movie would make me choke up, but it did.


go pistons!

[DonQuixote]

I heard that the books is alot better then the movie

[bjp4444]

thanks, i'll have to make a run to the library in the near future.

[Lord Draud]

sorta like teh green mile eh? i tell you what a black guy taht big i would nto belive he was gental i mean he guy in part of a opressed minority and can crush a man like a beer can??

[ckonze]

Check out any Darren Aronofsky or Wes Anderson film.

[Frogbutt]

troy and alien vs predator are AWESOME
also White Chicks is funny

[tanisthalon]

Life of Brain, definately the best of Monty Python, then its a tie between Jabberwocky and The Holy Grail ;).

[Jim]

Whatever happened to Ridley Scotts Blade Runner Ultimate Directors Cut, that was meant to be released during 2004???Unfortunately, they've been talking about that since, what, 2001? 2002?

*sigh*

And to think that I actually like most of the international cut more than the DC...

[DonQuixote]

Saw Requiem for a Dream and Pie last weekend. Both are great movies, although Requiem is hard to watch.

[Yojimbo]

I recommend that some of you should watch a film called 'Zulu'

Based on a true story it tells the amazing tale of 100 British soldiers who stood strong against an overwhelming force of 4000 of the Zulu nations mightiest warriors in the defence of 'Rorkes Drift' in 1879.

[jetblue]

I use to watch that movie all the time when i was a kid. When they show it now on cable they cut off the dancing brests scene in the begining.
The begining is one of the best parts. The circular village with the circular huts overlooking the hill. Its beutiful. And the costumes look real to. All the ivory and ebony head bands,and ostich feather and leopard skins. What a great people the zulus were back then.

[Lord Draud]

i saw the Hotel Rawanda...very thought provoking

[Yojimbo]

hey jet, did you know that all those Zulu's were not actors, they were real Zulu's, and the leader was the real Zulu leader. Must have been nice for them to perform there ancient rituals for a film.

[bjp4444]

took the woman to see hitch, was actually a pretty funny and entertaining movie. definitely good for a date.

go pistons! (32-19, 1st Central Division)
-bjp

[DonQuixote]

Just saw Battle Royal(e?) yesterday. It's about a class that has to kill each other, and the winner gets to live. Those japanese make some crazy movies.

[BAMAToNE]

Just saw Battle Royal(e?) yesterday. It's about a class that has to kill each other, and the winner gets to live. Those japanese make some crazy movies.

Heh, that movie rules. The acting is a little over the top, but I think that's normal for the Japanese. And yes, it has the E in Royale.

[Barlon]

Even if its time-travel theories are untrue, I'll always love the Back to the Future Trilogy; mainly 'cause I grew up watching it religiously.

[Lord Draud]

Saw the 13th warroir again for thef irst time in year i love that movie

[DonQuixote]

13th warrior was an awesome movie. Also one where I heard the book is better, but I never read it.

[jetblue]

Is'nt it cool when the shameness throws the bones on the ground?
My favorite quote:"hurry to me death before your place is taken"
Omar shariff is one of my favorite actors. I just saw Hidalgo the other night on cable and Omar Shariff is in a big part of it. It looks like he has the same outfit from 13th warrior. And I usally cant stand Antonio Banderas but this was one of his best roles.

[Kilu]

Saw Butterfly Effect and Bruce Almighty couple days back.

Liked Butterfly Effect a lot. Ashton Kutcher was better than I expected and Amy Smart is a babe :9

Bruce Almighty was good as well. Jim Carrey films tend to always rely on the same comedic stuff, and this is not an exception. However, it felt fresh, dunno why really.

[daniel]

and they made God a black guy which I really liked:) , alot of people seem to shun black people little realising that Jesus was probably dark skinned:) (i say probably, thats according to the BBC docu but noone really knows)

It was a nice touch because God if he exists would not see 1 colour as inferior to another (as many people believe). Its ideologies, opinions and what type of person you are that matters.

I liked Bruce almighty also

[Mithrandir]

I saw Captain Sky and he World of Tomorrow...and I fell asleep while trying to watch it...

nice graphics, nice artistic images but bad story...

[bjp4444]

i agree, the story was just so predictable. paltrow was horrible, and the jokes were all bad. unless they were deliberatly trying to make a movie that a replica of something from the 50s or 40s, then it was allright, i guess.

-bjp

[DonQuixote]

Just saw Fight Club. Awesome.

[Lord Draud]

i just saw constentein (sp?) and cursed the first rocked the other sucked...that all i gotta say

[Galthol]

I saw the Dune movie recently (2000 version). Funny story , A friend of mine had a copy he had taped off the space channel and let me watch. So I'm watching it and about 1/5 of the way through the credits come up. So I turn off my T.V in disgust and start cursing my friends name. I later go back watch the rest of the tape and find the remaing 4/5.

[Yojimbo]

even though i know you have probably all seen this film, i think that you should watch it again, its 'deep impact' a real classic story i can watch those type of films for eternity because i just love things about space like comets etc, and it gives a true reflection of what will become of Earth sooner or later.

[Lord Draud]

hehe i loved the dune books i read all of them even the new ones the movies ( new ones not old) did a good job but the old ones.....i want to kill the person that messed it up so bad, i mean did they even READ the books?

[jetblue]

But the first movie had consulted with frank herbert,I think. One day I will ride shai hulud.

[Lord Draud]

nope he in fact after seeing it distenced him self with it for a great many years not wanting to have anything to do with it, mind you it did have sting AND the guy that played picard!

[Firefly]

Finally saw Garden State (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0333766/) last night. I liked it a lot.

[Cyber_punk]

Well i think a few Sergio Leone westerns shouldnt go a-miss;
Fistful of Dollars<good
For a Few Dollars More<very very good and very adventurous
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly<very very good and very well done
Once Upon A Time In the West<very very good and very well done and brilliant

[Blade Tanaka]

Well I just wached Hero last night.. I't kinda scuked at first but once we put it In chineas with English subtitles I reall ended up enjoying it. ^o^

[Galthol]

I hear "house of flying daggers" is suppoesed to be quite good

[bjp4444]

yes, i thought "flying daggers" was quite good. beautiful use of color, as always.

-bjp

[Vidus]

I would like to recommend the Butterfly effect. I've watched all kinds of films but this is the one that makes the difference.

[Grey Fox]

Well I must admit I do like my films and here are a few suggestions I know that the thread leads itself to one but these are all classics
1.Schilnders list-exceptionally moving film in which the enigmatic Oskar Schindler a member of the nazi party went out of his way to safe more than 1000 Jews(based on true story)
2.The Dead Zone-after becoming involved in a car crash and awakening unconscious for 5 years he awakes with the power of foresight and puts this power to good use.
3.Usual Suspects-a marvellous film with one of the films best twists-that’s all I can say. I will post one film a day on here

[Vidus]

Just watched a film called eXistenZ and I want to recommend it to everyone.Here is some information of the film.

The film tells a story about a game .But this is no ordinary game. The world of eXistenZ is in the future, so the game is controlled by a joystick that looks something like an internal organ. You interface directly with the game by inserting a umbilical cord like tube into your 'bio-port,' a small hole in the small of your back.Once plugged in, the game takes you to a virtual reality, so you can experience the game without leaving the your own room. The point of the game is unknown. You play the game, and as you progess, the story becomes more clear to you.

[silverDistortioN]

existenz, featuring its cheesy acting and special effects, is another one of those films that make the audience question reality. not *actual* reality, however, but some sort of stupid, pretend reality. it's about comparable to an episode of that new twighlight zone series, in my opinion. (sorry if i'm insulting your tastes, Vidus. i just didn't like it that much.)

anyway, i saw kapo a month or so ago. it's an italian film which takes place at a concentration camp during world war II. it follows the story of a teenage jewish girl who conceals her jewish heritage and eventually comes to power as a nazi-equivalent camp guard (aka a kapo). it's a story of corruption, freedom, love, and death. truly brilliant, i must say.

also, it's old and black & white.

[daniel]

Anyone confirm that a film is to be made based on the megadrive game KID CHAMELEON? I just decided to cheat to finally finish the game and guess what?

It is solid and long, no saves obviously and to be honest i cannot see how anyone could finish that game without cheating...its levels so numerous and hard I find it difficult to understand what the game developers were thinking.

Great game otherwise though..a classic

[Lord Draud]

anyone seen avenging angalo? its a funny movie about mobsers but tis not as overly done as Mafia

[Vidus]

existenz, featuring its cheesy acting and special effects, is another one of those films that make the audience question reality. not *actual* reality, however, but some sort of stupid, pretend reality. it's about comparable to an episode of that new twighlight zone series, in my opinion. (sorry if i'm insulting your tastes, Vidus. i just didn't like it that much.)
There's no need to be sorry silverDistortioN. I also consider eXistenz as one of those crappy films I've watched. My point was the fact that this film tells about a game and that's why there could be someone here who really likes it. I mean the story of the film was so weird that it might be interesting for someone.

[tanisthalon]

Hmmm 2 classic John Carpenter films: The Fog...............and................The Thing. Both still stand the test of time. The Thing had some classic imagery and lines, like the head falling off and turning into a type of spider with an onlooker saying 'You've gotta be f*%£^$g kidding me!' just before they torched it http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/biglaugh.gif.

[bjp4444]

i saw the upside of anger last night. i thought it was decent, somewhat above average. not best picture material, but pretty good.

-bjp

[Grey Fox]

ummm another film I would recommend people to watch would be Narc- a detective story with a slight twist near the end, a well developed story and well thought characters. Also (most people would have seen it) Reservoir Dogs directed by Quenten Tarantino like Quenten its not a linear narrative based on a group of robbers who have stolen which it seems are precious stones, but a member of the group is a police officer undercover...well worth the watch if u have not seen it.

[Lord Draud]

i am not a big fan of Quenten Tarantino, since dush till dawn i have yet to see another of his movies, dusk till dawn killed it for me, it pissed me off to no end. much like underground but at least vampires in that movie didn't have like a mutated snake form thing

[Vidus]

If someone has watch a tv-serie called Taxi and liked it's character Latka, I would like to recommend a film that tells about the actor that plays Latka (Andy Kauffman). And you're going to like this film even more if you like Jim Carrey he namely has the main role. The name of the film is Man on the moon.

[Charon]

Recent viewings.


Van Helsing, pants to be honest. Wasn't very impressed.

Daredevil. Finally. What a great job they did. A few flaws (kingpin being black? Murdock not being blond?) But all in all I loved it, an instant favourite in my eyes, kinda hoping there'll be a sequel before too long.

Harry Potter three. Suprisingly enjoyable, wasn;t expecting it to be that much fun.

Our house (Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymoe (so hot)). A slightly amusing film, bit naff in places but good all round entertainment, worth a look if you really really like Stiller.

Soul Plane. Fantastic. I'm a big fan of these kind of "black comedies". It's not quite as daft as the likes of "I'm gonna get you sucka" but definately a film I'll see again. Snoop Dogg understandably steals the show, if you thought he was smooth in Starsky and Hutch then take a look, he plays himself so well. ;)

Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) Wow. Fantastically sick. McDowell does a fine job of playing a character so twisted. Which, considering some of the things the role calls for, is no easy task. If you're a fan of Caligula himself, or of movies designed to have a little "eeewww" factor then you'll like it. (It also has plenty of boobies in it :D )

I'll pop by again when I watch some new ones.

[daniel]

Probably all seen it..groundhog day. Story about a man (bill murray) who wakes up to find he is trapped in the same day time and time again for over 2 years until he repents and becomes good.

GREAT FILM

[Grey Fox]

yep ground hog day is cool another great film I would suggest would be westworld...basically about robots on the blink..set in a western theme.

[jetblue]

That dance scene in Caligula stands out a lot in my mind. Its a good movie.

[Kilu]

Yeah, Groundhog Day is one of the greatest movies I have seen I think. I seem to enjoy all the films that revolves around time someway or another. Memento, Butterfly Effect, Back to the Future series, Groundhog Day, even Timecop (OMG VanDamme). Those are the first films that come to mind anyway.

[daniel]

Kilu does this mean that you have atleast 1 thing in common with me taste wise . :):):)

[Kilu]

Miracles do happen ;)

[Lord Draud]

heh you guys are fans of vandammage? how about Dolf from red scorpion ( a great movie) he has donea few others but i can't remember them, he is just so atypical musle guy its funny

[Kilu]

Van Damme sucks yo :)
Are you by any change talking about Dolph Lundgren, who 'co-starred' the Universal Soldier with Van Damme? :) :D Oh the hilarity. Heman movie is awesome :D

[Blade Tanaka]

Hmmm have I ever posted here.... nope well I will soon... ^o^

[Grey Fox]

well a great film I'll advice u all watch is the dirty dozen...Its just great

[Vidus]

For those who like action I would like to recommend films with Bruce Lee. This guy really knows martial arts. I'm sure that many of you know this guy and have watched his films but if someone hasn't those are the number one action films. Nowadays there isn't actors that could to somethig like Bruce Lee did, the physique of that guy was something out of this world. Vandamme, Arnold, Stallone or Chan are nothing compared to Mr Lee.

[daniel]

YES FINALLY someone who knows this guy. Also did you know:

He had less than 1% body fat
Was the fastest man to have lived
The greatest Fighter to have lived

[Vidus]

YES FINALLY someone who knows this guy. Also did you know:

He had less than 1% body fat
Was the fastest man to have lived
The greatest Fighter to have lived Yep I knew those things and that's the reason why admire him. In many of those films they had to slow down Lee's punches and kicks in the editing process. Ok, they do it still in some movies but just to make the fight look better. These days they usually have to speed up the motions to make them look good. I really am sad that he left this world too early, he would have done many legendary action movies.

The enter the dragon is the film for everyone who like to see real action.

I think Grey Fox likes this guy too.;)

[Yojimbo]

Bruce Lee is for defenite one of the most talanted of people to ever grace the Earth, his skill is really admirable, his films are packed with his action (although most are 'B'movies), he was truly the best, shame he died so young.

[Grey Fox]

Yep I love Bruce Lee cos he's a legend, I got all of his films on DVD and more. His speed and power and the incredible and the usage of weaponry make him unique in every aspect. As soon as he did that 1 inch punch I knew he was the man and will always be the man. No other martial artists has practioned in what he excels at that’s why he is so good. There has been lots of controversy over how he hasn't had many real live choreographed fights and that he would not win against certain practitioners, especially against that guy who went in the jungle for 2 years to develop his technique. But Bruce could flatten them all. What makes me sad is that he left too early and that he didn't finish his style jeet- kune -do and that there wouldn't have been Bruce wannabee's like Bruce Le or Bruce Li, and Jet Lee who’s just a rip off and that everything he does is speeded up. Anyway's my favourite film would be Enter the Dragon and second Way of the dragon in which he starred.

[Lord Draud]

yes i agree he was the best, how ever near the end he did have trouble with his body, also jet lee while not as good as him in some regards is still pretty fantastic tehy to slow him down in teh editing process and he never misses a mark, he can hit a pont in the air with a kick and come back the next day stand in teh exact same spot and hit the EXACT same spot mind you i only realy like a few of his movies......like black mask!

[Yojimbo]

well to be honest i find that Jet Lee is a major rip off artist, he has tried to impersonate Bruce too much and frankly he cannot pull it off, Bruce Lee could do flying kicks whilst Jet Lee had to use a rope in one of his films, i cant wait to see the day when/if another Bruce is to be born.

[daniel]

That film was Romeo must die...pure rubbish it was too I nearly fell asleep. and the rope stunt flying kick was so pahetic that it summed up both the film and jet lee.

PLEASE watch that film just for the flying kick-on-an-iinvisible-rope. It is hilariously stupid!

But please it didn't stop there mr. jet lee actually has that look on his face all the way through the film like "wow i am the best ever" when really he is a jumped up little tit head. NO it did not stop there, nearly all action is speeded up so it looks like a vcr on fast forward and worse is that soe of the stuff is really badly done ...he jumps over a fence on one of them. looks like he has been lifted over it by god. PATHETIC I really hate that crappy git

-----------------

I make a film where bruce must avenge the death of good martial arts films. He must get to the top of the "evil jet lee pagoda" where he meets up with a baddy on the 4 floors.

Baddy 1 is Bruce Li who's speciality is impersonation and rubbish skill. Bruce takes his head off with a pair of nunchaku.

Baddy2 is Bruce le who again is an imposter, this time bruce dismantles him with the dragon attack "dragon whips his tail" ....this sucker didn't stand a chance with a broken rib cage

Baddy 3 is a group of jet lee fans. They are only kids so bruce knocks them all unconcious with a variation of the "death grip"

Baddy 4 is Jet lee, upon discovering that its really a fake jet lee and a poor pot dummy at that bruce checks outside.
There he finds jet lee suspended on what looks like a rope. Jet lee challenges bruce to a flying kick competition but forgets that this movie is more realistic than his. Bruce flies at him and jet's rope snaps from the swing.....

Film ends as jet lands a few storey's below with everyone gathering around his pahetic karkass.

THE END

and the name of the film? "Jet lee must die"

ps it is jet li not jet lee

[Grey Fox]

hehe I must say that Jet Lee is a tit head with not much martial art ability, if u take away his props you'll be left with the guy from the Mr Muscle adverts.

[Yojimbo]

good idea, you could make a blockbuster out of it, i wouldnt mind watching Jet lee/li splat anyway.

[daniel]

hehe I must say that Jet Lee is a tit head with not much martial art ability, if u take away his props you'll be left with the guy from the Mr Muscle adverts.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl::rofl: <<<<<bug with forum misses 1 face:(

[Kilu]

You are exaggerating as usual. Sure, Bruce Lee is the hot shit and Jet Li is no match to him, but Jet Li knows his stuff as well. As well as Jackie Chan :D

Also, I don't remember which of the Bruce Lee films it was, but Chuck Norris appeared in one. Boy did I laugh when I saw that. Man, and he has a really hairy chest as well, creepy.

[Vidus]

You are exaggerating as usual. Sure, Bruce Lee is the hot shit and Jet Li is no match to him, but Jet Li knows his stuff as well. As well as Jackie Chan :D
Jackie Chan really knows his stuff but that's nothing compared to Lee's skills. Now when you mentioned it I watched Rush hour recently and I really think that Chan has succeeded to do humorous action films. In this section I think he is very skillful.

And for those who haven't seen Rush hour. Watch it. I find it pretty humorous.Especially the scene where Chan tries to sing a song with his partner was extremely funny.

[daniel]

You are exaggerating as usual.

Nope no exaggeration, especially not on Romeo must die, I only wish it were haha

[bjp4444]

well, i thought jet li was great in "hero", but i can agree that "romeo must die" was bad (except for the beautiful aaliyah, too bad she has passed).

"romeo" did have a classic line, when the one guy was shot at the end, and he exclaimed:
"man, that was some cold sh**."

just pure, unintentional comedy. I LOVE IT!

-bjp

[Grey Fox]

Well I believe that Jackie Chan is better than Jet lee at martial art lets get it right, Jet Lee isn't fantastic, all of the fights I have seen him in, are either speeded up and there's a rope involved. But Jet Lee is up there with the rip off's of Bruce Lee. Why bother he was the best there was, and by rein acting him people must think that people like Bruce li/le and Jet Lee are up to Bruce Lee's standards but they are sadly mistaken. Lets ever see if Jet Lee can use nunchuckau like Bruce Lee did in scenes such as Enter the dragon. And people that was not speeded up infact on numerous scenes they had to tell Bruce to slow down for the cameras cos he was that fast.

[Yojimbo]

well all we have to say about Bruce' speed, take a look at the scene when he is fighting MrHann in 'Enter the Dragon' and just watch the kick bruce pulls off, i paused it and played it frame by frame, and after just 1 frame you couldnt see his leg, thats how fast he was.

to be honest, this Jet Li character still doesnt match Bruce' speed when speeded up. how dare these con artist try to impersonate him

"hello lord Melbury, you B*****d"<<<<<anyone get the joke about impersonating someone your not.

[daniel]

Obviously I do...its fawlty towers;)

[Blade Tanaka]

You are exaggerating as usual. Sure, Bruce Lee is the hot shit and Jet Li is no match to him, but Jet Li knows his stuff as well. As well as Jackie Chan :D
Ahh Jacki Chan... if it were not for your old age you would indeed take them both on.... *sigh* those were the days.... And yeah I agree that Daniel and Grey Fox seem to over exagggertae a lot.... ahh well they'll learn once people get fed up and give them bad rep points or so... Yeah Hero was pretty good. Personaly the next thing I plan to wach is the DVD collevtionaf Star wars... with the 4th DVD of extra specil features... ^o^

[Vidus]

I have watched some animations this week. Mostly they have been for kids but there is one film I could recommend to you, namely Ice Age. Those animals in the film are so funny.:biglaugh:

I simply could't help laughing when that squirrel or was it a rat, well anyhow, when it game into the picture with that nut trying to get it's hands on it. It's smile in the and of the movie was the best part.:D

[daniel]

ahh well they'll learn once people get fed up and give them bad rep points or so

By that logic Draud should have learned. Rep points really scare me....also would you really give bad reps for over exaggeration?

The Labyrinth starring David bowie and jennifer connoly. I ay have submitted this one before but in any case it is a good film by lucas and jim henson

[Grey Fox]

Well I suggest a few dollars more starring the legend himself Clint Eastwood.

[Vidus]

I don't know how many of you have already seen Silverfang movies but I really want to recommend them to everybody. They are the best animations I've seen so far.

Shortly the story is something like this. As Kohei Takeda is on the mountains hunting the bear named Akakabooto, he disapears. But the villagers want to find Takeda so after the weather gets better they send a searchparty. 12 - years old boy Daisuki wants to come along, but his father denies it. So he leaves secretly, a puppy called Silverfang with him. Daisuki and Silverfang head to the swamp where they think that Kohei is and the endless battle against huge bears begins.

[Lord Draud]

for once i like a cartoon movie ice age i thought it was funny. hell yeah i never knew david bowie could be to scary till then mind you i watched it when i was like 7 or something and then agan when i was 18 and it was still great. the reson reppoints don't scare me is cause i have no shame :) i will say what i want when i want. and have you gyus seen brotherhood of the wolf?

[Yojimbo]

i recommend a film called "capricorn 1"
http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gifhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gif:spoiler:
its about a manned mission to mars, a fake mission. NASA make it look like the crew have succesfully landed on Mars and the coverage is showed to family and friends and the public (i think). on the apparent way back from mars everything is going to plan until the fake satalite placed to land in Earths atmosphere (satalite pretending to have the crew in) crashes and everyone outside NASA thinks the crew have died. the crew escape knowing that NASA are going to kill them to make it all look real, and the crew all split up and try to get away in a rocky desert area. a news reporter who believes that the mission was a hoax anyway is trying to find some of the crew to bring NASA to its knees for faking a mission. two of the crew are hunted by NASA and killed, but one is found just in time by the reporter and an aeroplane chase between NASA and the reporter and crew member begins. NASA fail to kill them off and the crew member rushes in to his own fake funeral and see's his wife who thought he was dead, and thats where the story ends.

i thought the film deserved an 8/10, well worth a watch.

[Lord Draud]

is that the one with oj simpson? i know he stared in a movie like that

[Mithrandir]

I watched the Incredibles today and it was quite good. I was expecting it to be boring and all being a movie for kids but it was fun to watch. Plus the soundtrack is just great on that movie!

[Vidus]

Mithrandir you managed to post before me. I also watched this film today and thought it was great. I've receantly watched Shrek 2 and Garfield's movie. From these three I have to say the Incredibles was way better than those others.

[Charon]

how dare these con artist try to impersonate him


For all those arguing, yes Bruce Lee is the best. But do you really wish there were no others? If so we'd be left with only the martial arts films of Bruce Lee? (and those who came before him). Bruce Lee is dead, and I think it's not a bad thing that there are people out there at least making some effort to keep the genre alive. Maybe Jet Li isn't a particularly good martial artist... but then, he's an actor. Bruce wasn't a particularly good actor...but then he was a martial artist. Don't be so quick to chide other martial artists just because they can't measure up. Variety is the spice of life.

[Lord Draud]

heh your beating a dead hourse man he is banned and i think this would have blo up cause in the end he would never bow to us " ignorent westeners and kilu slaves"

I wonder if I'm both.

[bjp4444]

if you're both, what does that make me?????

-bjp

[Kilu]

Haha, good one Draud :)

While I'm here, I'll recommend Alien vs. Predator ;) I know, it's not the most creative film ever made, nor does it have an epic story to match LotR, but hell. It's a good action film, if you like that stuff.

[Grey Fox]

heh your beating a dead hourse man he is banned and i think this would have blo up cause in the end he would never bow to us " ignorent westeners and kilu slaves"

nor would I, I thought (being my mates) that they brought up some very valid points but it all went hay wire and dragon/bjp were just as bad keep arguing on and on and on.

Dan says Hi, and to check his server, apparently he prepared a nice surprise for locke cole and 10 ppl have downloaded it. Also he showed me the convo between him and locke cole which says he got banned when he was appologising in the chatroom

Says he will not harrass this website because of marona and a few others that he promised but says to locke "You are a lucky person indeed"

I recommend Truman show, its pretty famous but its cool:)

[Geosgaeno]

most films by Jim Carrey rule, i love his acting along with Eddie Murphy.

[Vidus]

Jim Carrey surtainly is one of my favourite actors. It really doesn't matter what kind of a movie it is, if it has Carrey in it I will watch it someday. Pet detectives, Bruce almighty etc. All pretty damn good.

[tanisthalon]

An older sci-fi film by the name of 'Dark City' and 2 even older sci-fi films, 'Forbidden Planet' and 'Quatermass and the Pit'.

[Lord Draud]

i loved the truman show....also i saw preditor the other day, kicked ass and want to see that others including AVP

[bjp4444]

what great quotes from Predator ( I will edit them, don't worry!):

Son of a ***** is dug in like an Alabama tick.

AND

This stuff will make you a god ****** sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.

I mean , just more unintentional comedy (which i think is just the cat's meow)

Don't even get me started with Arnold quotes :) :D "You're luggage." :dance:

[bjp4444]

hey, neither of those were actually arnold quotes (both jesse ventura), but if I can get through a day without exclaiming, "Get Down!" or "Follow me if you want to live!" to someone, it would be amazing.

-bjp

[Galthol]

Three simple words. Children of Dune. of course you have to watch Dune but thats an even greater movie

[tanisthalon]

Just watched Ring 2 at the cinema, ok but nothing to be happy about.

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gif
The best scene was the deer charging at the car and surrounding it. Not really a spoiler as such, but I dont want anyone to complain at me:).

[Geosgaeno]

i cant wait to watch the new 'Robots' film which is released soon, i'll recommend it now because it looks so good.

[Lord Draud]

"i don't got time to bleed!" is also a great one but nothing beats "its not a tume'a"

[Kilu]

I watched Legally Blonde yesterday. And eventhough it's one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen, I do recommend it to everyone. Because it is pretty funny overall.

[Galthol]

Dont know how many Star Wars fans there are out there but. MAY 19 is the day it is finally relesed.
Phoneing the theater next week to see when tickets go on sale. I'm going to see it opening night. I can't wait. It's going to be great.

[Kilu]

It will probably suck like the two previous ones. Sure, it's going to be darker, but I have no expectations on it.

[Geosgaeno]

dont agree there Kilu, ALL the star wars films to date are exceptionally magnificent, the only downfall is the stupid actor who plays Anikin on 'Attack of the clones'

i say more star wars the merier, Palpatine rules

[bjp4444]

Well, I didn't care that mush for the newest two (not to say they were horrible, but I thought they were just average; midichlorons(sp?) really took a lot of the Jedi mystique away for me)

My gf is dragging me to see Sahara tonight (I'm sure it's for Matthew McConaughey). I'll edit this post tonight with a review.

EDIT
Plans have chnaged, most likely not going 'til tomorrow night. You'll all have to wait for my flawless review until then.

-bjp

[tanisthalon]

The only Star Wars films that I really liked were New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, with the latter been my favourite of the two.
Just watched Sin City, didnt really like it.........never read the books though, I am sure it will appeal to fans of the books.

[Geosgaeno]

ill recommend a film, ANY 'B' MOVIE YOU CAN FIND IS WORTH WATCHING

haha the reason behind that is because they make everyone laugh with there stupidness.

[silverDistortioN]

Just watched Sin City, didnt really like ithooray! the first person to agree with me! i feel so much less alone now. =)

[jetblue]

Saw Garden State. It was good,funny at times. Interesting people. Great soundtrack.

[Lord Draud]

heh i wish the george made movies based on the books that people put s much time and effort into....but over all i think the star wars movies are not bad but they could have stuck to the story line that i have grown up on and come to love

[Vidus]

For all those people who have to study like a maniac I would like to recommend The beautiful mind. I was namely studying 12 hours a day and my friend told me to watch this movie. After watching I have reduced my studying session to 8 hours only.http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The Shawshanks redemption is also pretty good. I watched it yesterday and liked it a lot. A man is put in prison although he didn't commit the crime...

[silverDistortioN]

i saw kim possible: so the drama last night. it was pretty damn awesome, i must say. i recommend it to anyone cool.

[Kilu]

I guess I have to watch that then.

[silverDistortioN]

was it a live action movie? i can't really stand disney's live action actors... >.>
they make me want to stab 'em in the face.

[DonQuixote]

yea it is live action but its actually quite serious for a disney movie and it doesn't have that weird stuff that makes teh series bad.

[bjp4444]

Saw Sideways yesterday. I thought it was quite dull, except for the overweight people having sex/wallet scene. That was funny: "He's got Derek's wallet!"

-bjp

[bjp4444]

So no one's seen a good film iin over a week? Well, I guess I'll go again. I know someone brought this film up before, but I recently got a chance to see Hotel Rwanda. Very thouight-provoking and moving. What got to me most was a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff, where you actually got to see Paul Rusesabagina in the flesh and hear his thoughts on the situation. The movie makes you want to go out and help those less fortunate.

In the coming days, I'll be watching one of my favorties, House of Flying Daggers [can't wait to see the behind-the-scenes stuff!] and Birth, which looks to be a very odd Nicole Kidman film. Will keep you all posted.

-bjp

[Geosgaeno]

another good film to watch could be 'Guest House Paridiso', it stars Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson (people from programme Bottom), and it is a real funny comedy film trying to watch these two idiots running a hotel.

it gets **** for me (****= 4 stars out of 5)

[DonQuixote]

Saw most of Predator the other day. "If it bleeds we can kill it".

[bjp4444]

I got through Birth....what an odd film. The little kid kept pissing me off, though.

-bjp

[Vidus]

I saw The time machine the other day. Isn't really good but it's not that you will get trauma's if you watch it.
If you haven't watched Back to the future, Groundhog day or Butterfly effect, watch them first. When you have nothing to do I mean NOTHING to do you can watch this movie.
It has one interesting feature. It namely goes so far to the future that I don't remember seeing any other movie gone so far.

[Geosgaeno]

i also think time machine has one, maybe two interesting features.

read the white writing below to see what i think the intersesting features were

1) they tried making a base on the moon and messed up and the moon crumbled, then the guy goes like 1000's of years into the future and civilisation is back to where it started like the stone age, and the guy looks up and the crumbled moon is orbiting Earth in little pieces.

2) that computer guy in the mirror thing that has lasted 1000's of years and can remember everything and everyone he has met.

[Vidus]

I wasn't sure whether I should have posted this one to the Tv shows thread but anyhow.
Watched Rowan Atkinson's one man show, it was a live show from Boston. I would recommend it to everyone who like Atkinson's humour. That guy really makes me laugh with his gestures. It's so funny even if I'm just looking at his facehttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/biglaugh.gif

[Galthol]

I like most of his work, I have seen some of his work on 'Just for Laughs' However I really didn't like him in 'Jonny English'. Just didn't like it

[Geosgaeno]

there is a film coming out this year by the cast from the 'League of Gentlemen' (take a look in the English Comedy thread) and it promises to be a good one i think, wonder what they will call it, probably League of Gentlemen the movie or something haha.

[bjp4444]

Kung Fu Hustle was one of the better movies that I have EVER seen. I tell one and all to see it. Do it now!!!!http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/dance.gif

[SeymourGuado]

Everyone has probably seen it but if not I reccommend the Stephen King film "The Lawn Mower Man", about a simple man who has his simple mind enhanced by virtual reality only for it to go wrong. He becomes ultra intelligent and it is not long before he becomes a meglomaniac intent on world domination.

Great acting and great quotes like "As you can see doctor angelo, my level of intelligence has surpassed yours and I cannot allow your fear of what you don't understand to get in the way of my work"

"YOU'RE NAIVE STUPIDITY MAKES ME VERY ANGRRRRY"

"SO you've given me 1 final game to play I find a way out or DIE in this diseased main frame"

Watched a movie called Secret window yesterday. One person recommended it to me and I decided to watch it.
It has features that are taken from a one particular movie that was a succes. I don't want to mention what movie it is because it could ruin someones movie experience. For me this likeness with the other movie felt a bit awkward but for those who haven't watch the other film Secret window is a great movie. It is based on a Stephen King's book by the way.

any news if they are going to do the hobbit movie?

[bjp4444]

Yeah, I saw Primer this weekend. It's really short, and I thought it was quite confusing. Way too much technical mumbo-jumbo for me. And it lost me at one of the late plot twists.

[SeymourGuado]

There is an animated hobbit Draud if thats any use? I thought it was pretty good

[Geosgaeno]

ive just been watching a film called "Ali G indahouse" all you Brits should have heard of it, its really funny hehe (bjp you should know it too for the obvious reasons)

also i was watching some of "the truman show" and that is one of the worlds best films of all time, it is definatly in the top ten or it should be.

i recommend both films.

(must contain self) I really didn't like it myself (must not flame) I really didn't like the way the elves looked (will not yell) But I will admit(must not scream) It was better than the animated version of the Fellowship of the Ring

*Galthols tounge falls out because it has fallen off*

"Sorry about that, I just really, really hated that movie"

Sorry to add to the off topic here, but this has been happening to me for a while now. Every once in a while, when trying access the first non-read post in various topics, I get, usually, the page before the post I'm looking for, and not all of the posts load. Usually a switch to hybrid mode will let me access the posts, but will not fix the problem [when i go back to linear]. Hopefully someone can fix this, or figure out what's up!

Studies have done so much time that I haven't been able to watch movies as much as I would have liked. Last weekend I was able to watch one movie though. It's called K-PAX and I think it is quite good although it has some typical features. Still the film kept me guessing to the end and that's why I liked it.

[Geosgaeno]

i may have this mixed up with another film, but is K-PAX the film starring 'Kevin Spacey'???, you know the film were he is from another planet and solar system???

[Giea]

I've got the best Film or Cartoon Movie to reccomend :P Read or Die.. SOOO cool :).

[Vidus]

i may have this mixed up with another film, but is K-PAX the film starring 'Kevin Spacey'???, you know the film were he is from another planet and solar system???
Yep. You are right Geosgaeno. The K-PAX is the home planet of the character that Kevin Spacey playshttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wink.gif I don't know if it is an old movie or not but I happened to watch TV and that was the best there was on at that moment. I'm clad that I happened to watch TV at the right time.

[Geosgaeno]

another film i would strongly recommend is a film called 'Hawking'

it is about the cleverest man on Earth and how he was searching for the beginning of the Universe and how it started, whilst he was struggling against his illness.

google search 'Stephen Hawking' to learn more.

[Galthol]

"The Planet Of The Apes" the orignal one with Charelton Heston. Amazing Film. With such great quotes as "You damned dirty apes", "It's a madhouse!" and "You Manics. You blew it up. Damn you to Hell!"

[Geosgaeno]

Revenge of the Sith, possibly the best Star Wars film (or maybe second best after Empire Strikes Back), it is very evil and sinister, GO NOW AND WATCH IT.

[Galthol]

Yeah, it is a good movie. Very dark for a Star Wars movie too.

[jetblue]

I liked the begining but I think they tried to hard to make him evil. I mean thats not enough to make me evil. They should of had some jedi's teasing him in the temple and then he would of gotten angry and used the force to choke them or something. After he killed someone then he would be fugitive with obiwan pursueing him through the galaxy to administer the punishment of mediclorine cleansing and life as a normal person,and then into the arms of the darkside seeking sanctuary for him and padme. Who was also pursued because she was pregnant and the jedi council feared the birth or it was unnauthorized because they took a vow or something.



I got confused in some parts because I couldnt remember the clone wars.

I thought that kid was gonna survive. He was so cool using that sabre.

[Geosgaeno]

but in a way he was being teased if you think about all the times Obi Wan was holding him back from doing things, the anger built up and up and Palpatine hammered the final nail in the coffin and turned him to the dark side.

Possible 'Spoiler' below, but not much of one?

he was made into the perfect evil and the producers made him seem very sinister indeed....Good Job guys, i mean he killed off the young padwans (nice use of ruthless evil), and he even was going to choke off Padme until Obi Wan stepped in. Great Movie and Palpatine is the best.

P.S. haha the kid got diced.

[jetblue]

Itsy tiny spoiler alert!!!!


But the one phrase that kinda tied the evil transformation for me was what he told padme before he chocked her. That he would take control of the republic and they would rule the galaxy. Then I thought ah I see,and my mind filled in the rest,but the movie should of done that.
He would of made a good ruler. And Padme could of been the one to nudge him in that direction and be more evil. But the way she was I could'nt stay married to that. I need more support in a relationship pregnant or not.

[Geosgaeno]

i would have chocked Padme too, she tried to stop him like Obi Wan, them two would have been chocked off there and then if it was left to me.

Possible Spoiler again:

I also liked the scene after Obi Wan and Anakin (Darth Vader he is known at that point in the film) have faught and Vader is left to burn in the lava but survives, his burnt body looks cool (bad attemp of a joke ehh :P), and also i thought the film could have cut out on soppy love scenes like when Padme announces her pregnancy, me and cousins burst out laughing in the cinema in embarassment.

[bjp4444]

Hey, I don't wanna be rude, but you possibly start a new thread for this star wars stuff? I haven't seen this yet, and it's almost been ruined for me. I kept thinking someone else was recommending a new film, but instead it was more spoilers. I'm not mad or anything; I just think that a new thread [labled with a spoiler tag in the title] would be the best way to go.

Admins, is there a way to move the previous posts into a new thread, so somone else doesn't pop in here and read something they shouldn't?

[jetblue]

Just saw Sahara. Pretty good action film. The Tuareg village looks amazing. I would love to visit that place and be lost for months.



Sorry bjp4444. Do see the movie. I plan to break my vow from ever going back to a smelly,rude,noisey,city theater,just to see this baby on a big screen.
Its that good. And there's a lot more to the story than just anakin.
His last name just sounds to much like a american indian.

[Mithrandir]

If you guys haven't seen "Crash" yet, I recommend you go see it. I was worried I might find it boring about it being a girl movie :p but I ended up really surprised by the movie.

It shows us how humans are evil....

This has to be nominated for an oscar or something.

[Mithrandir]

I saw "Crash" and I was realy surprised about how good it was. I was thinking it migt be bad because Sandra Bullock was in it but to my surprise, she doesn'T do much :p

Anyway, this is my nomination for an oscar of this year. You should really watch this movie and see how humans are evil....

PURE EVIL

As for Star Wars, I saw it and I thought it sucked because there was too uch things that had to happen in the episode and it was so condensed that it was like a compacted story which made me dislike it. And Padme does nothing in that movie...

[Galthol]

I thought that kid was gonna survive. He was so cool using that sabre.

Not a spoiler, just a piece of triva. That kid was George Lucas's son. :)

(Man I wish I was Lucas's son, get to be a jedi and all. Why are you listening to my private ramblings, Oh because I wrote them out. I see.)

[Geosgaeno]

Trading Places,

this is one great film starring Eddie Murphy, im sure some of you have already seen it but if any of you havnt then go see it.....NOW

[Yuffie]

Anyone seen "Mr and Mrs Smith" and is it any good?

If it is good then I have a cinema voucher that needs to be used! :p

[Geosgaeno]

well it aint released in Britain yet, but i believe it will be a good film possibly,

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/spoiler.gif
the thing i dont understand is that why would Husband and Wife try kill each other anyway, they would just say "NO we aint doing your dirty work no more" to thier boss

[tanisthalon]

I think its out this weekend here in good old Blighty!

Edit:
Just checked the local listings and it is out today :). I will be watching it Saturday if you can wait for a review?

[Yuffie]

If I married my bf I'd try and kill him if he continues his current arrogance. :p
Actually I can probably think of several reasons to not be his best friend. :rofl:

[Lord Draud]

heh if i had a G/F she would have to be able to clean, play D&D, and have her own job the first is cause i can cook but not clean so some one will need to do that, the second is cause hey its every D&D players dream to have a G/F with the same intrest that consumes there life, and the last one is cause hey think of the money! we could aford all the book as soon as they come out! we can eat good food and have some of he good things in life! thats all about all i ask

[tanisthalon]

Mr & Mrs Smith
Not an Oscar winning storyline, but a great mindless fun film to watch. Some good action sets, Brad and Angelina pull it off well. After watching this there is no way that Nicole Kidman could have provided the energy and sexiness that Angelina does, I am just glad that the filming time overan on Stepford Wives, for her to pull out of this.
Didnt want to mention any of the film i.e. spoilers etc. Just go and enjoy it for what it is.
Oh, those of you who do watch it, what do you reckon the chances are for a sequel?

[Yuffie]

Sounds good, but I didn't go see it, James is busy doing all the college work he left to the last minute so I thought I'd better not drag him away from it. He's suffering enough already just doing it. :p

But I will go and see it!

I didn't know it was meant to be Nicole Kidman...but I don't think she could have pulled it off either. I always thought she looked kinda washed out and pale rather than being an assassin. :)

[Yuffie]

Ok, went to see Mr and Mrs Smith yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. :D

Just the sort of film I'd watch to lighten up my day despite all the killing part. :rofl:

Nicole Kidman would have sucked in that movie.

Reminds me so much of some of my past relationships though. O.o
