Re: OT - Recent Movies You've Seen
Not a fan of sarcasm, I guess?
Honestly though, it's such an incredibly terrible movie, it's worth watching purely for the kitch factor......possibly one of the most un-intentionally funny movies I've seen in a while.
It's shockingly bad........soooo sooo bad.

WHAT:explode
how the hell do you not catch that on TBS, citytv and every other channel that plays it almost weekly..
Fantastic film though isn't it. That is a movie that everytime it is on I have to watch it no matter what part I am at.
Also, I can understand the frustration with TWBB for some people. I absolutely loved it, but I love the direction of PT. I also think that there is so much to take from his movies that many scenes are so open to interpretation.
I actually loved Magnolia as well... Tom Cruises best role....
Respect the cock
Don't feel bad.
I'm VERY big on movies, and I just watched the Godfather for the first time last week.

Re: OT - Recent Movies You've Seen
On this recommendation, I watched a downloaded copy of this the other night, and I have to agree with Jack's review completely.
Was surprisingly good.......and the special effects/violence, was extrememely well done, and made much more "real" than any action movie I've seen in years. (not that I really watch many "action movies")
Anyways, good call Jack.......thoroughly entertaining 84 minutes.
:thumbsup(22):

I agree, TWBB was a fantastic film. I need to watch it again, which I don't say about too many movies. I found it very Kubrick inspired in many ways ... especially the use of the music. A chilling look at just how utterly cruel and slimy humans can be - which I liked greatly despite the fact that I believe very strongly that humans are capable of so much more than we see today, so much more.

Agree completely.......I find many people don't "get" his films. But between him and Wes Anderson, they're my two of my favorite filmakers right now.

I liked TWBB, but I do want to see it a second time. I'm a big fan of PT Anderson, but it didn't grab me on the first viewing quite like Magnolia (A masterpiece, imo) and Boogie Nights did.
I think it's rare that a film focuses on such a pure evil man that's so full of hatred for everything and everybody. So for that, it might turn some people off, but the acting by Danial Day-Lewis is truely amazing. A well deserved Oscar.

You would never know it's good from the critics, they just crapped on the film badly. It's maybe the most underrated film i've seen this year.

Was on the road and rented There Will Be Blood in the hotel.
Was asleep in 30 minutes.
I can appreciate all kinds of films, but for me, this flick was, literally, a snooze-fest.
I recall a lot of Daniel Day Lewis looking hard-bitten and squinting through his dialogue, but there was nothing there that engaged me enough to hold my interest.
Maybe I have undiagnosed ADD?

Re: OT - Recent Movies You've Seen
Still haven't seen it yet but I am expecting it to be a gooder considering the reviews from everyone here.
I've even seen a few people say it's the best one of the whole series but I find it hard to believe it would be better then First Blood

Re: OT - Recent Movies You've Seen
to be fair, i think a lot of people forgot how unrealistic aspects of the first three indiana jones films were (especially temple of doom, although that is also largely considered the worst of the three). but complaints that he monkeys and boat scenes were unrealistic were over the top because that sort of stuff was in all three of the movies.
if you recall, there was the inflatable boat out of the airplane in temple of doom, in the last crusade they met a 700 year old knight, etc. etc.
granted, i thought the aliens thing was a bit silly--that was apparently all lucas, much to the chagrin of spielberg--but then again, the first three all had similar fantastical themes. the only difference was the undertones were religious in nature, not extra terrestrial, which for some reason people find more believable (although i would argue it made for more touching and compelling movies).
as for the appearance of the ufo and aliens in crystal skulls, they were meant to look silly and campy. i have a feeling that was spielberg's doing to pay hommage to the sci fi flicks of the 40s and 50s (just like the first three indy films were archetypically and characteristically similar to early action films).
i think indy 4 got caught up in the aura of the first three, which people hold in such reverence but i think lost sight of how silly they all were. indiana jones was/is a superhero, and to that end i thougth it was a good movie. it didn't stand up to raiders or the last crusade, but then, not a lot of movies do. but i went wanting to see a campy over the top superhero/action flick and to that ends i was quite satisifed.
