ahhh... you'll want a good scotch handy if you're watching Charlie Wilson's War;

American beer for The Big Lebowski;

burgers and milkshakes with Pulp Fiction or Hairspray...

there are some great films out there and they seem to bring their own particular "taste" with them:

or try to match Bogie cig for cig...

but I digress.

faves of late are August Rush, No Country for Old Men, Charlie Wilson's War...

"must sees" would have to include Kill Bill 2 and Sin City, which would both go well with tough stringy jerky and a cheap whiskey.

I just saw Kill Bill 2, with sugar free Red Vines. A relatively healthy candy snack.

Tom Hanks is good in almost anything. I just wish I had time to go to movies. Maybe after November.

good selection, best viewed as downloads, but the divx plugin works

Oooh, the Manson Family. Sounds like a good family film.

I got 24 movies last month with netflix. Transformers was good. The Invisible was OK, but kind of sad. The Simpsons wasn't that great. Knocked Up was funny enough. Live Free or Die Hard was really good.

Reno 911 was pretty good too. Sort of ad libbed but had some REALLY funny parts.

From My Queue. Not bad for $18.

Not yet. Good? Is it about the Afghanistan 'war' against the Soviets?

excellent

had me rooting for war and subversive government involvement, which just goes to show how people can be swayed through presentation.

Sad to say, but things get lost there when it's slow. I got no problem with it here if nobody else does.

Yes.

Blade Runner. Harold and Maude. Mr Smith goes to Washington. Grapes of Wrath.

95% of the new er, movies are crap or crap rehashed. Seeing them in HDTV don't improve the crap content.

That said, I did enjoy the Kill Bills.
inyerface
sorry but Blade Runner puts me to sleep, although so do Chinatown, one of my tops, along with THX1138...
I recently obtained a copy of The Long Goodbye, a terrific Altman film, before he got boring, and have also found Barbarella and Pretty Baby (yikes).

remember Robinson Crusoe on Mars? Jason and the Argonauts?

The Whole Nine Yards for big laughs... I'm a big Bruce Willis fan, and also enjoyed the newest Diehard, and also Unbreakable... he's great in most of his work- Sin City shows his tough guy hero character off real nice.
Arturo_Vandelay
My wife loved Blade Runner, and despite seeing it several times I could just never get excited about the story. Neat effects for the time.

Unbreakable had a good twist. Willis Rocks. I like quite a few new movies, but there are more movies than ever so there's bound to be a lot of losers too. (depending on taste of course)

It was scary enough, but it was a little unfullfilling. Like they had a good idea for a movie but didn't know exactly where to go with it. Reminded me of Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer, but they didn't have an ending, where Henry did.

Yossarian is a bombadier during World War II. He desperately tries to be declared insane by the Air Force in order to go home. However during the process he slowly watches each of his friends and crew die off in the horrors of war.

My friend had a fake bomb from that movie. I think they filmed in Mexico. Coolest prop I've ever seem. Probably 4 feet high and looked real.

Yeah, but the plot line was designed to pander to the artsy types who love anything common folks will say was short on an ending. I'm not so dense that I don't understand how the snobs are about films. It wasn't bad, but I still think it's overrated just a bit. Bardem did a good job, but watch Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer sometime. The sociopath movie isn't exactly new.

That's true!

That guy was like ice man....

He just wasted people on a whim.
Arturo_Vandelay
But it wasn't just a whim, he had his own reasoning and morality, twisted as it was. Flip the coin and win everything. "your husband could have saved you". Woody even alluded specifically to it so you couldn't miss it if you're a regular slob and didn't get the superior hollyweird deepthink.

And the rest of the police didn't seem to even be looking for him. Just that one lame old cop. Yet he could be waiting for all those victims with no help other than the one guy's Mother in Law. I see some major plot holes.

That's a good point, I was baffled by that glaring plot hole. I thought these guys were the Keystone Cops.

I still think Silence of The Lambs takes the cake.

FWIW

Second Hand Lions starts at 8 o'clock....One fine flick with Robert Duvall.


Arturo_Vandelay
Great movie. Better yet Haley Joel Osment got his start on the Jeff Foxworthy Show. So much for critics.

Watched Heat with Bobby D yesterday.
Arturo_Vandelay
Should I put it on my Netflix list? So farI only have 8 movies and it restarts in three weeks. Bourne Ultimatum is up first, War with Jason Statham as well.
Davis 2.0
Seen Pan's Labyrinth? Very strange but good. If you like fantasy. Spanish film. All subtitles. I hate that but it was tolerable with this flick.
inyerface
Ultimatum is by far the best of the series

I'm enjoying (surprisingly) a crappy copy of The Mist I had left over from unwatched joox downloads, and can say that Fallen (Denzel W), though absurd in storyline, is very well done...
a few I've found online include Barbarella, Pretty Baby, Lolita, The Tin Drum ( a must see), and Ken Russel's The Devils.

Trailer Park Boys for comedy if you haven't seen it.
