Alright rules here are simple. When you see a new movie review it for us and tell us what you think.

For me I just saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this weekend. I can tell you this that is a very good movie. Definitely a must see. The movie is definitely alot darker than the others. This movie is definitely not a happy movie by any stretch of the imagination. However overall I gotta say the movie was an A. Definitely a good movie to go to. However this is most certainly not a movie for kids anymore.

Walk the Line

it was a good movie. focused on Cash's demons. He did a pretty decent imitation when singing. Reese Witherspoon nailed June's voice (granted only time I heard her is duets with Johnny). I belive that non-fans would enjoy it. Johnny Cash is truely a musical icon

WORD!!

HP: Goblet of Fire was good.

Lots of teen romantic humor. Good fight scenes and effects. Valdimort is bad aZZ. Not willing to say its hte best one yet but its a solid entry( I like Chamber of Secrets best still).

I think the "kid" element of HP is going to vary with teh age of the actors in it. THey started these movies @ 11 or 10 and now they are 15-16 I beleive..so the older they get...the older the tones will get.

Just saw Kingdom of Heaven, I know it's not a new theatrical release, but..... I liked it. I've always enjoyed Ridley Scott's work. It was kind of confusing at times, but pretty sweet nonetheless. Better epic movie than Troy or Alexander (why would Oliver Stone direct such a dibacle?), but no Gladiator.

IT was a good movie but it felt long and was long. I think Troy was better. Galdiator still the best!!!. AS for Alexander.....the whole over homosexualized theme of the movie really turned me off. And even after that it was still crap.

Just saw Yours, Mine and Ours

It was cute and funny. I liked it. I honestly don't know how many of the guys on here would enjoy seeing it though, definitely had chick flic written all over it. But it was cute. I give it an A. It's a happy feel good movie w/a love story and a story of kids learning to come together for their parents sake. As my sister and I correctly predicted from the previews it's Cheaper by the Dozen meets the Brady Bunch.

The Forgotten

First I will tell you this is a scifi movie but a different type of scifi. It is more a scifi mystery. That being said I really enjoyed this movie because it was more mystery than scfi. The idea is unique in this movie. I liked the idea however in my opinion the move was too short and more story development could have been done in it. However still I reccomend see this movie because it is still ok. I would give this movie a solid B.

Anyone seen Mr and Mrs Smith? I heard it was good and will rent it Tuesday but .....

Also..same on Stealth...I thought it looked good but reviews were real harsh...how bad was it?

Just saw War of the Worlds. I was really into this flick until it ended. I guess the aliens got sick from an earthly virus, but how did that cause their machines' defensive shield to go down? Seemed too short. Tom Cruise was great as usual. Actually this might have been his best performance, outside of The Last Samuri.

I think of it as, they controlled the shields-when they got sick, they were too sick to press the button for the shields. in the oringal WOTW, a virus is what kilt them. I loved that movie-saw it at midnight opening

No love for Cruise in Rainman, Top Gun, Born on the Fourht of July, THe Firm, or Minority Report? I wouls say the Mission Impossibles too but not sure if that could hold water w/ some folks.

I thought he was good in the Firm, Top Gun, and Rainman. But there's something about his acting in Born on the Fourth of July that I didn't like. It was a great movie (Willem Dafoe was fantastic as usual) though.

Saw Mr and Mrs Smith. It was alright, but entirely predictable. I don't hate happy endings, but I love unexpected endings.

OK so I rented THe Big Lebowski, Cape Fear, Mr and Mrs Smith, and 8MM 2.

I have never seen any of these.


Watched 8mm 2.
OK
I really liked the first one! Nic Cage et. all..... murder mystery w/ a weird video tape to lead on what hte guys past was like and whoi would want him dead which lead Cage in to the world of underground porn and snuf films.

2nd is nothing like the first. Its basically set up as a political black mail scandall involving a senators daugheer, her soon to be senator (but now DA) husband, and hte video taping of a threesome they had at some hotel. Basically they get blackmailed about the existance of hte tape. They delve into the world of p* for hire and "F* films to locate the girl that was the 1/3 of hte threesome. All I can say is the end is F'd up. But my lips are sealed. It is a pretty good erotic thriller however.

Mr and Mrs Smith JMO

I thought it was good move...predictable yeah..but loved the way the hidden asassin stuff in the house/alternate jobs they had/ playful sexual & husband & wife type banter they had in it. Action scenes were pretty top notch. Pretty good rental.


*******************************

Aeon Flux review:

FIRST LET ME STATE:
I remember hte cartoon from MTV's liquid television and then the full length episodes but not in full on remember mode..... all I remember is hte hot chick w/ infinte amo killing everything in sight w/ some twisted sexual tension and the main dude Trevor Goodchild. Thats it.

SO my only 3 quips would be at this time:
1)WHile Charlize's outfit is HOT...its not as HOT as original and IMO could have been skimpier.
2) NOT ENOUGH guns and amo shootemups.
3) Not ENOUGH sexual tension.

No as far as the plot goes and keeping in mind I don't remember what hte show got into...I won't divulge anything I think is a spoiler.

Basically the earth had a disease wipe out 98% of hte population. THe remaings 2% made a walled city that in which a man names Trevor Goodchild rules. Trevor developed a vacine to cure the disease and the city wall keeps it from infecting populace again. THE CATCH: It harms reproductivity of the people. Trevor would like solve this problem and "almost" has....his brother Orin however doesn't want him to succeed. IN the meantime Aeon is the best of the best of a resistance movement called the Monocha(sp?) and she is sent to kill Trevor (doesn't at that time know about reproductie issues he is trying to solve). When they meet some weird stuff gets revealed and then you get into the crux of the movie... at this time since its so new I won't say more.


It is worth a Matine IMO...full price would depend on your affinity/remembrance of the cartoon.

DVD reviews


Dukes of Hazard: Unrated.

ehhhh all they added was some titty scenes when they went the university in Atlanta to get the core sample. See my old review of hte movie in the Lounge.


Fantastic 4

DVD spekaing the special features on the disc SUCK!!! Totally underdone for a super hero movie. See my movie review in the lounge.


Batman: The Animated Series Vol 4.

If you like the series this is a must have. The whole series is pretty good and dark in nature. Closer to Batman Begins in tone than the other 4 movies in the series. Mark Hamil as Joker is super maniacal.

Old movie I know but I just got finished watching Poltergeist!!!

Pretty good..... and as not to tell a spoiler.... that info given to Cragi T Nelson's charchter about his plot of land just changed my perception of hte whole movie.

Dukes of Hazard

decent. tried to convert the show's charaters to 2000's. biggest problems: Daisy aint blonde and Boss Hogg is short and fat!!

YeeHaw!

Also NEW Rosco P Coltraine had NONE of the OLD Roscoe's mannerisms.

Have to agree on the Boss Hogg thought.... old Boss Hogg was nasty evil.... new one is more sleazy evil.

It was a good flick, but if Brad and Angelina went down in a hail of bullets in the final shootout, I'd nominate best action sequence of the year. Very Shakespearean it would be.
