Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Going to see the new Indiana Jones movie tomorrow! My friend won tickets on the radio for an advanced screening and I told him that he would be risking his life if he didn't take me.
I am so pumped, but at the same time I just don't want to have my hopes too high just in case. I'm usually a glass half empty kind of guy.

Let us know how it is, I'm looking forward to it too.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I just saw Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End on Saturday. It's another good movie and it's also a great way to end the series, I was curious to see how they would end the whole thing but needless to say I wasn't disappointed.

It's Indiana-freakin'-Jones! Totally impossible to ruin it. They actually could have shown 10,000 BC with the name Indiana Jones Strangles Blind Kittens and it would have been awesome. In-di-an-a JONES!!!

Yeah, I'm a little excited to see it.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I just watched The Bucket List, that's a pretty damn good movie. I'd like to go out that way someday. I wouldn't say it was a film that everyone needs to go out and watch immediately, but if you do you wouldn't be disappointed.

Just watched "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" on disc... awesome photography in that one (I think it won the Oscar for cinematography).

Also saw Mamet's new one, "Redbelt", while recuperating for a few hours in Vegas. Tight narrative with excellent acting and fight scenes.

Except for the fact that Casey Affleck is an annoying, mumbling douche in any movie I've ever seen him in, I completely agree with you.

I just saw Iron Man last night and loved it. Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges where great.
What I'm really waiting for is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I'm going at midnight tomorrow to check it out. I'm hoping it will be the best movie of the summer. I rank the Indiana Jones movies right up there with Star Wars.

i'm psyched too but u also have to take into account if now a days George Lucas is involved, there is a chance of it getting f-ed ie 90% of Star Wars episodes 1-3.

I loved Iron Man and have already seen it a couple times, but my money is on Wanted, Hellboy 2, or my personal choice of The Dark Knight.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I'm actually a little excited for the movie, "The Happening" that comes out June 13th with Marky Mark in it. (Yes, I said Marky Mark)

Isn't this an M. Night Shaymalan flick? (I'm actually not sure) Which means it's going to have some twist that comes directly out of left field? I haven't watched any of his movies but I hear that his twists are pretty.. Nuts.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Just got back from seeing Indy. I liked it, but I wouldn't say I loved it.
I definitely think that a lot of people won't like it for one reason or another. My biggest complaint was that there were a couple of scenes that were too dependant on CGI.

Alright, well my allergies are about to make my head explode, but I'll expand on this more tomorrow whilst trying to kill time at work.

I love itvnetop's movie reviews! No one else talks about "cinematography" and "narrative"

Quick itvnetop, top five most infamous deus ex machinas in cinematic history. Go!
