Watching Donnie brasco right now

Murphy3 · 12-27-2009, 09:59 AM

Watched BlindSide. The football action was horrible at times. That always drives me crazy when a movie that is in some large degree about sports cannot remotely get the sports action right. The casting of the head high school football coach was terrible. But, the movie overall was solid despite those two huge deficiencies.

Five-ofan · 12-27-2009, 11:41 AM

saw sherlock holmes and invictus in a double feature last night. Sherlock holmes is enjoyable(if you like robert downey jr youll like it, if you dont you wont but if you dont why would you be watching it anyway?) Invictus was dissappointing because it could have been so much better. I think eastwood got caught between trying to make a sports movie and trying to make a political commentary on mandela. Its not awful by any means but its also definately not great.

Murphy3 · 12-27-2009, 12:10 PM

Because you like Sherlock Holmes?

Big Boy Laroux · 12-28-2009, 09:28 PM

Went to see "the blind side" today, but it was sold out. Kind of glad it was, cause i saw "up in the air" instead. GREAT movie, especially if you are a frequent traveler for business (as I am).

I'm being forced into watching Julie & Julia (or is it Julia & Julie? who cares).

I'll try to make the best out of it....

oh hush. You make me watch all these friggin dude shows/movies. Besides, you know I'm not into chic flicks to begin with, so me forcing you to watch this is a rarity.

so please, tell the whole story next time would ya? thanks.

Murphy3 · 12-31-2009, 01:47 PM

Forgot to mention that I watched Pirate Radio awhile back.. Funny..entertaining. Also, watched Finding Forrester again. I had forgotten how truly great that movie is. It's a very entertaining movie with sports. The b'ball action is far superior than what you see in alot of b'ball movies. Just a very, very good movie.

Thanks for the reminder on Finding Forrester, I am going to watch that again. Great movie.

Murphy3 · 01-03-2010, 11:04 AM

Just watched The Stratton Story. It's a great story.. solid baseball movie.

ShaggyDirk · 01-07-2010, 09:02 AM

Caught a late night viewing of No Country for Old Men on USAHD network last night. Still genius

mcsluggo · 01-07-2010, 10:00 AM

I saw "the good the bad and the ugly" (I had seen snippits of it here or there as kid on tv.. but never the whole thing)

this movie is near perfect. If you haven't seen it, do so.

it's on top of my list to purchase blu-ray.

mcsluggo · 01-07-2010, 10:01 AM

i also saw "monster's ball" 3 out of 5 stars

4 of 5 from me.

Up In The Air was really good. The ending was unexpected and depressing, though.

Avatar - was NOT expecting to be THAT impressed, but I was. Watch it in 3D while you can. I think you'll lose a lot watching it at home.

500 Days of Summer - Loved it. I'd imagine that just about all men have gone through something similar to Joseph Gordon Leavit's (Sp?) character.

Murphy3 · 01-08-2010, 12:20 AM

meh

ShaggyDirk · 01-18-2010, 10:31 PM

oh goodness. Did I really see a coming-up-out-of-the-water-in-slomo-to-shoot-someone moment, with a bow and arrow? That's too much.

I don't get the current obsession with worthington. He's no Harry Hamlin, that's for sure! that being said, i will see Clash of the Titans, if only because the original is a cult classic for me. Man, i love that movie.

as for Robin Hood... No Bryan Adams, no sale.!

Clash of the Titans -

I liked the original story a lot (from the original film). I wonder if they will change it too much that I don't like it, however I'm pretty excited to see their take on Hades and the underworld.

Nash13 · 01-18-2010, 10:53 PM

The Book of Eli was really good. it was kinda like I am Legend where it was advertized like an action movie but it wasn't. I think most of y'all would enjoy it.

One of the best movies ive seen recently. I thought they were gonna go a different way with the ending(same vein but different way to get there) It also happens to be the biggest badass denzel has ever played. Moreso even then creasy from man on fire.

Better fighter, sure. But he'll never play a bigger badass than the guy he played in Training Day.

Oh, and Book of Eli was great, Hurt Locker was great, and Moon was great. Good run of movie viewing for me recently.

I dont know. The if you put that hand on me again scene was about as badass as it gets.

Usually Lurkin · 01-19-2010, 12:22 AM

Streets of Blood.

Perhaps the worst cop movie ever made.

bernardos70 · 01-23-2010, 01:17 AM

Another word: Amazing.

Sorry for delay. It´s about a guy who has some probs. The main character is in debt and on parole. He has to find money for a liver transplant for an old friend who wants to see his son, who is in inmate. They want to rescue him with a bungee-rope and a crossbow. But the son murdered several women....

Btw. A serious man is fu********ng awesome

Flacolaco · 01-23-2010, 02:21 AM

Watched the new Star Trek again tonight after the Stars game.

What a fun movie.
