Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
10 movies nominated for best picture? I thought it was usually five?

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
District 9 for best picture? Really? Personally I wasn't overly impressed by that movie.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
Oddly my wife enjoyed District 9, I say oddly becasue she hates SCI FI movies.
I thought it was OK. Reminded me of Enemy Mine in some ways.

I've only seen Avatar, Hurt Locker, and IB. All three of these movies were really good. It would be a toss up for me. I guess if I had to choose it would be hard to go against Avatar, for the sheer spectacle of the whole movie. I do want to catch most of them, Up In The Air is next on the list. |

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
I left work early yesterday b/c I've got a nasty cold, so I made it a movie day. Threw on "Watchmen" in the afternoon. I was really impressed. Very well done, good effects, and a very unique take on a superhero-type film. My only complaint was it probably didn't need to be 3.5 hrs long.
In the evening I threw on "Blow." Obviously I've seen it probably half a dozen times at this point, but I just love it. Such a bad-ass flick. Then before I went to bed I watched the Biggie Smalls biography "Notorious." Pretty solid. I had very low expectations going in. It wasn't great, but the dude who played Christopher Wallace did an excellent job.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
I've caught parts here and there of Watchmen lately, every time I get sucked in. I'll have to bite the bullet and watch the entire thing soon.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
^ It have to be a prequel.
the comic book/graphic novel is an excellent read as well.
