Saw Zodiac on DVD this weekend, I can't remember the last movie that I saw that I thought was really good (the wife thinks I'm a "movie snob") but this was a very good flick.
Make sure you have about 3 hours available, because we were planning on watching half one night and the other half the next, but we couldn't turn it off.
I saw Fearless over the weekend on Region 1 DVD. It has fucking AWESOME fighting sequences! The rest of the movie is decent, but bashes you over the head and overdoes the Important Message just a little -- "afterschool special, with blood". Jet Li comes across as a fucking badass, though... even moreso than in Lethal Weapon 4. About the only thing I could wish for are even more fighting scenes. Supposedly, there were a lot of cuts and there's a Director's Cut with even more. That I want to see...Quote:

We were the only two people in the theatre which gave it the feel of watching it at home only with a kick ass home theatre system. It was good and definately worth the watch. It has a bit of a slow build-up while its introing the characters and setting the scene for the main portion of the movie which my buddy and I used to goof on things. But once it gets through the prologue you are drawn in (and we instictively stopped ripping on things). The ending has a bit of a jump through time portion as it needs time in the movie's world to pass to get to the ending they want but we both agreed they walked the thin line of just throwing you into the future and came out on the good side of things. Its subtitled (from German) which you should know going in, but I definitely recomend it.
i watched a movie last night called cannibal holocaust. its from the early 80s, i stumbled upon it, not sure if its at all known or not.
i guess it was a bit of a precurser to blair witch project, in that the producers tried to creat the buzz that it was real.
and i'll tell you what, ive seen some pretty f'd up things, and this movie is up there. the movie's point, if it has one, is very simple. but it is expressed so powerfully that it works great.
i think its a movie thats definitly worth watching, but a warning that there is extremely graphic violence, rape, and real animal torture. not a movie youd watch with your kids or while downing a couple beers.
you can check it out through this website: alluc.org (delete this if this isnt cool).
I saw the Bourne Ultimatum this morning. Great action, plot starts out kinda exciting but kinda drags to the point that you don't care, but there's plenty of kaboom and crunch and slam so you don't think much about inconsistencies and the "why is this happening" aspect. There was good, mostly laconic acting. It'd probably be a good idea to watch the previous Bourne movie before this one, which I didn't. My experience was hampered by the air conditioning not being turned on in the theater It's definitely a thumbs up, but I may have liked it better if not for that "cooped up hot air" feeling.
Agree with you totally, I couldn't believe what I saw when I watched it.Quote:

im impressed youve seen it. i would have guessed no one had.
one thing i really liked about this movie was the method the story was told. crew is missing, second crew goes in looking, finds tape. 2nd half movie is watching the tape.
you would think a ton of thrillers would be set up that way, but its really rare.
Saw Shrek 3 at the dollar movies at Briarwood (hey, it was a buck, why not?). Definately the worst of the 3. There were a few funny spots but nothing stellar. Worth the buck, but glad I wasn't one of the millions who spent 8-10 bucks on a ticket.
you definately have to see the first 2. They are great movies for sure. Perhaps you didn't enjoy this one as much because of that (don't know, I haven't seen the new one yet).Quote:
