I saw Public Enemies on Wednesday, pretty cool ^_^ ! it's been some time since the last 30's set movie I watched and it didn't disappoint ~~much~~ :3, even if with the historic-inaccuracies and stuff lol; but well, it's a movie not a scientific documentary B)

I just got back from seeing District 9, The Final Destination and Halloween II (2009). District 9 was easily the best of the bunch and Halloween II was by far the worst. Rob Zombie just needs to stop making movies, period. ^_^

Last movie was Inglourious Basterds and I don't know why on earth I went to that movie ^_^ I KNEW movies like that aren't for me. There was so much gore in the beginning that I had a hard time concentrating on the rest of the movie. I was constantly scared that there would be more sudden gore LOL. It's sure is an amazing movie, and totally Tarantino, but it just isn't made for people who faint when they see peoples scalps being cut off *like me omfg I died.*

Absolutely looking forward to District 9 (7 oktober, geez stupid Netherlands) and Parnassus <33

Watched a bunch of new ones (for me anyway) lately =)

First Kung Fu Panda which was, er, alright. Nothing to write home about and the secondary characters were too underdeveloped, but it wasn't that bad. Fights were too long and Angelina Jolie can't voice an animated movie to save her life, though. We had just rewatched Monsters VS Aliens earlier and that one's much better IMHO (and puts Seth Rogen's skillz to better use).

Then I watched Taxi Driver for the first time! Shameful, I know. I'm trying to fill my cinematographic knowledge gaps lately, lol. It was pretty damn awesome and ahead of its time, I think. Also, kind of hilarious. Shocking to see how Robert De Niro used to be actually hot.

Yesterday we went to see Julie & Julia, which fortunately was free. I would have been pissed if I had paid for it. Quite meh overall (too long!) and Meryl Streep was as annoying as a person can possibly get. God, that accent/voice/whatever dhjgj;jhfdsk. Amy Adams was cute though.

And finally Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel, a really nice original little UK film which has been way too underrated IMO. Chris O'Dowd was awesome in it and, seriously, there should be more movies about time travel! This one proved it can be done with very little money. A really nice surprise.

Aww, poor Blok!

I really want to see District 9, too; friends have been saying it's quite good! :wub:

I finally went to see District 9 and I have to say I was pretty disappointed =( I don't know, it all seemed like a lost opportunity to me. The really interesting part of the film (the racism parallels, etc) were forgotten after a bit and all that was left was over-the-top action - pretty much like any other film. I mean, it was well done and the ending was good, but before that there was just too much explotions and lol mecha footage. I was really looking forward to it and I was quite let down =/

Also watched Adventureland which I also didn't like that much. Nothing terribly wrong with it, maybe it's just that I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Oh well.

You seen to be going to a lot of "meh" movies lately, Estefania xD; Does District 9 really turn around that much? Because the story sounds soooo interesting, it would be a shame if it turned into an actionflick D:

Anyways, I watched Watchmen again. Which I already had seen but omfg it's so much love. Though I think I somehow got talked into cosplaying Silk Spectre.... D:

Mitzrael · **Reply #83 on:** September 21, 2009, 11:05:06 PM

Actually a re-watch but I must pimp The Dark Knight everywhere I go xD; so yeah... TDK once again since it premiered on HBO last night -even if I suck and I have the limited edition DVD set XD;;;-

Hmm, well, it is very much an action/sci-fi adventure, but the plot is prevalent throughout. The graphic violence, for me, was there to emphasize what a wtf!? situation Wickus found himself in and for me, his character development was pretty pronounced. Knowing you though - you probably would find it quite squirm!inducing, since I know you don't like gore.

I would definitely give it a chance, but if you didn't like Inglorious Basterds, it's probably not for you.

And over the weekend, I finally got a chance to see Synedoche, NY, which was just brilliant, in a really, really satirical and ~~sometimes~~ odd way. There were a couple segments I had to rewatch, but wow. I was very impressed. Then again, Mr. Hoffman just kinda blows me away in everything, so. xD;

The point being with gore, I can't watch if Mr. Pitt decides slowly, very slowly, to cut a swastika in someone's head, while said person is very much awake and starts screaming his longues out. The whole combination or cutting in someone's head and the screaming pretty much ruins it for me. But with most actionmovies, I have no problem whatsoever. I didn't like it when the guy in prison in Watchman got his arms cut off, but for some reason, it was different, cuz I still managed to look at it... I guess it depends on the movie or something xD? Or the date? Sometimes I like gore, sometimes I don't xD? Ohwell, it's not like I have a choice, Boyfriend is dragging me to District 9 next month, haha

I watched Ghost a few days ago. Euhh. Man. It was bad.

I don't know, for me it felt like the greater plot stopped for action sequences. Plus, they got back to the same place too many times (seriously wth) and I always think of that as SCRIPT FAIL. Oh well, it wasn't bad anyway, I was just disappointed.

As for me, I watched Away We Go... which was alright. Maggie Gyllenhaal was hilarious. Not much more to say. At least it wasn't Revolutionary Road, which had a super boring direction and DiCaprio and Winslet playing douches I didn't care about, lol.

Also, tried to watch Year One. "Tried" being the key word here. Oh god I had to stop the thing 30 minutes in due to extreme awfulness. How a film that bad could be made is beyond me. I can't decide which was worse, this one or Night at the Museum 2. Or Ice Age 3, lmao.

Looking forward to: Love Happens (IDC HOW BAD THIS IS OMG AARON ECKHART ❤) and sdhgj;jkshfdk The Invention of Lying (RICKYYY~).
