I saw ratatouille PM me for the link, I doubt it lasts more than a day. It's a very good movie, and I usually don't like the animated ones.
I took the gf to see it. She loved it, I didn't think it was all that bad either. I'm not usually big on seeing movies like that in theaters but it was a great date movie.
I saw Unhitched, a British romantic comedy with a couple American stars (Seth Green with a silly British accent, Amy Smart) that was entertaining. It's classic "guy wants girl to marry him instead of the wrong guy" fare, done pretty well, and pleasant enough for a 90 minute rental.
Does Seth Green play the short guy?
He plays the wacky British guy, who's trying to get the wrong man to break up with the right woman and has some funny moments.
He plays a 6'4" bodybuilder. Its amazing what they can do with camera angles these days.......Quote:

It ends realistically grimly (definitely not a "date" film if you're seeing someone new), and you'll like the girl enough to not want it to end grimly, and that's what makes this a good film.
Don't see Ratatouie. My kid fell asleep in it and my ex-wife wanted to walk out on it (which we eventually did since my kid was asleep). It does look good (graphically).
I've been a bit late, but I just watched Transformers.
People have been saying one of the best movie ever. It doesn't deserve the hype imo. Good movie, good acting, good story(never seen the cartoon), but a shitty ending. Come on what the fuck, without spoiling it for everyone, but then again, everyone has probably watched it. They should have changed the ending or something.
Megan Fox is some fineass piece of woman although some pics of her on the internet are really bad
Has anyone ever seen a preview for the movie Sunshine? It came out on Friday, and it is supposed to be a Summer Blockbuster with a decent cast and I have yet to see a preview for it. I have never seen a movie with less hype. It even got good critical reveiws.
Here's a preview for it:

Gutz posted something about this(?), and it looked good.
i saw it, i'd give it a B-. The story is ridiculously enticing. The Twists are terrific. But in the end the ending didnt have as much spark as the rest of the movie. It wasnt bad at all though. But too much story in it to be a blockbuster unfortunately.Quote:

Maybe you not seeing the cartoon before is a factor in your opinion. but i thought it was good from beginning to end. the ending was solid imo. wasnt the key to life or anything, but solid with plenty of room for a sequel.Quote:

Why not have Prime kill Megatron by sacricifing himself? Too much of a cliche? Maybe...or maybe that is how it went to in the comics. It was a really solid movie, but the end was wasted.
Sequel????Hells yeah!
They could kill him off or there wouldn't have been a sequel...........Quote:

I saw the movie "Proof".
I didn't really like it.
Led by Gwyneth (though really Hope Davis was better), there was all sorts of solid acting of various emotional states corresponding to a plot about a math geek gone psycho.
But it felt fundamentally pointless. They could all flush themselves down a toilet and I'd think "pity, they acted well, but I didn't care what they were saying".
Any comments on the wedding movie with the guy from the Office?
Saw the new Harry Potter. Not bad, actually. It's the shortest one by far, and I think it was probably one of the longest books, so thumbs up to whoever adapted the screenplay. The special effects were easily the best so far, and Ralph Fiennes is pretty cool as Voldemort.
On the downside, it's a pretty serious movie, not as lighthearted and fun as the other ones. They're trying to emphasize the fact that Harry Potter is in real danger of being killed. So with that, you get scenes of Harry Potter's bulging muscles, Harry Potter's raging hormones, Harry Potter's awful temper...definitely one for the swooning teenage girls.
I bet Harry bulked up after almost getting kilt by Ron Artest.

Can anyone even think of a 5 movie franchise kicking ass let alone 7? Freddy kruger is probably jealous of all the careful treatment and work they put into those movies vs the crapping out of the anus effort they put into his sequels.

James Bond is still going strong after 30 some years and many sequels. I'd like to see Harry Potter pull a dartgun out of his ass and shoot a cuple of Russki's while roller skating. So he's got a little "Magic Wand". Wow, so he isn;t even as good as Samantha, who just had to wiggle her nose, or Genie, who just had to wigle her hips. Amateurs need props, not the pros.
Apparently, they are getting ready to make an 8th one of these too, lol.

The Harry Potter movies have been remarkably good, and I think it's because they're humble. They don't really think they're making classics. They're not trying to define a generation. They don't pretend they're making art films. They're just kiddie stories meant to entertain. They set their goals a little lower and they end up succeeding quite nicely every time.
Bond movies are a series, not direct sequels in any manner whatsoever. Not the same thing really. I'm talking linear movies. And though I joke on Krueger his sequels dont count either since each one is in a different zone.
There is a challenge in keeping a consistently along the same lines group of sequels going. Part of what works is the growth factor. Seeing characters grow can keep them from becoming boring. With that in mind they need to hurry up on these last two potter movies before he's roaming through Hogwarts with a beard, receded hair line, two muggle strippers, and a fifth of gin and pumpkin juice.

I actually heard the Harry Potter movie sucked donkey balls, worst of all the Potter ones. When they tried to make it look like a scary movie in the beginning, it was shit.
well whoever told you that is on his own. Its still breaking IMAX records and honestly I thought it was pretty much another hit. But thats just me.
theres people who think transformers was shit and 300 was garbage. But loved both those movies.

Actually I really like the Bourne movies for balls-out asskickery. Looking forward to the new one, which is getting good prerelease reviews.
That being said, Matt Damon is still the devil.
I love those movies too. I'm a big fan of his other books too (the covert ops series). I can't wait to see the Bourne Ultimatum.
