The Movie Thread

The Halloween remakes are shit.

Agreed. Sorry Pricey, but the original Halloween is in my top 3 movies of all-time. I'll never forget watching that movie when I was a kid. One of my favourite movie watching memories (and childhood memories) ever.

The remakes are awful by comparison. I'm not a fan of modern horror movies, so maybe that's what it is.

One cool scene.

Child Michael killing that bully.

The movie turned Halloween from an amazing horror story into a Friday the 13th esque slasher.

I disagree. I was never a fan of the original Halloween flicks. I enjoyed the Zombie versions cause they were darker. If u liked the originals then u maybe right but I just found the originals boring.
Really looking fwd to Zombies new flick coming out soon. Stars the blonde chick from the devils rejects

Have u seen The Cabin in the Woods? It's kinda horror but a brilliant storyline. Very different. Might be my fave horror flick in a long time

Just kidding. But different strokes for different folks. For me, at least, the original Halloween is as close to perfect as any other great movie that I've seen. I love everything about it.

Christoph Waltz was seriously good. He completely stole the show whenever he was on screen

Spoiler

and I was quite disappointed when he died as I thought the movie would lose its momentum. Luckily it didn't though.

He has to be one of the best actors around at the moment. He has killed it in two roles (Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained) in the past couple of years. Surely a second Oscar will be his?

F*ck yeah! Very well deserved!

Did you know that blonde chick is Rob Zombie's wife , she's also in the Halloween movie he made .

I saw End of Watch last night , bloody good movie .

Have to recommend Tucker and Dale versus Evil. I don't think I've seen a movie like it.

Pretty kewl!

Anyway, I recently saw the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie 'The Last Stand' (which has been getting absolutely trashed by people online), and I really enjoyed it. I don't really get why people think it's so bad. It's not up there with the best Arnie films, but Arnie is still kicking ass (at the age of 65, no less)! Johnny Knoxville was hilarious in his role as well.

If you aren't a pretentious film snob that can't enjoy a fun action movie, then go see this movie!

 

[DThomas]

Wait, did the swear filter just change the American version of ass to the Australian version? What if I'm talking about a donkey?

EDIT - it totally did!

I like both Arnie and Knoxville so this movie is gonna be a winner for me. I think some people are just too serious to enjoy a good mindless, pisstake, over-the-top action flick. I'm glad I'm not one of those people.

You're stuffed! I'll bring it up with El-Chief-O. He won't care.

Recently went and saw Side Effect without knowing a thing about it. A pretty decent film and I think I enjoyed it more not knowing what it was about or what genre it was. So yeah if you're looking for a decent flick go and see it, but don't look it up.

Watched The Watchmen Director's Cut as well and I couldn't pick out a single added bit or missing piece. Still a good story.

 

[DThomas]

I just watched 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone', and I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did during this movie in a cinema! Jim Carrey's scenes were pure comedic gold! DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE!

 

[Quicky]

It looks aweful!

 

[DThomas]

It looks aweful!

Oh man, I can assure you it isn't! I had tears from laughing so much in some scenes.

Seriously, go see it!

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Sorry about the quality but i cant find this scene anywhere else. If under 18 be warned, sexual content.
This scene has me in stitches every time

 

[SnakePlisskin]

Savages is great movie by Oliver Stone out on DVD .

 

[Kyptastic]

Hey guys, I'm putting together a list of BigFooty's top 100 movies in the Movie and Entertainment forum and I'm looking for a couple more of people's top 10 lists to help flesh out the countdown. If you're able to put together a list and post it at the thread on the M&E board by Sunday, it would be much appreciated.

Anyone else pissed that Evil Dead isn't being released?!

 

[Pera]

Watched The Big Lebowski last night, after seeing it has an average vote of 8.2/10 on IMDB. For a comedy, that's insane.

Anyways, it's solid but I dont get the hype. It's subtle humor did get me laughing at times but nothing more than other comedies have done.

Probably give it a 7.

It's a Coen brothers flick. That says it all. Coen brothers flicks should have a whole genre unto themselves. A "comedy" it aint. But it is ****ing funny. And I love it. I can recommend a few others if you are keen.

Massive, massive fan of the Coen Brothers. Fargo, True Grit, and I'm missing a classic which I hope you spank me for

But yeah, I hear the Lebowski gets better with every viewing so I might have to rewatch it in the coming weeks.

The car smashing scene with Larry had me in stitches though. And in hindsight, there are so many good quotes.

"Damn wind".
