Domino was great. The rest fall under the chick flick guidelines/dialogue movies. I didn't necessarily find them extremely great but they are well rated movies in particular.

I really enjoyed Bend It Like Beckham, it was a nice little comedy. I thought she was also good in Pride & Prejudice.

They should have gone into more detail about the extraction of the dna from the amber fly, I thought that part was particularly interesting and took up a few chapters of the book. The movie was good though. Much better then Sphere or Congo, two good books ruined by Hollywood.

I may see Atonement one day because I've heard of her performance being pretty spectacular in it but haven't seen it yet and I'm not a big fan of those Pirates movies.


The last movie I saw was Olympus Has Fallen and once you turn your brain off and realize that some of the things that happened the US military/Secret Service wouldn't let happen then you'll enjoy it more.

Has anyone seen the recent Evil Dead?
I need to go back and re-watch the Bruce Campbell one.

I enjoyed it for the most part but the first half of the movie seemed to take itself too seriously and I can't remember if the original one was just unintentionally funny or was it campy on purpose.

I'm guessing you must be younger than me. I was like five or six when that movie came out and I'm pretty sure everyone on Earth saw it, and if you were a kid that movie ruled your ****ing life. I have no idea how many times I saw that movie in the theater. The next time I would have a movie experience that mind blowing was when Star Wars Special Edition was in theaters.

latest film that I watched was Giuseppe Tornatore film "A pure formality"...
I have no words,it's a masterpiece!!!...such a strong film!

The Chernobyl Diaries

Pile of sh*t. Seriously, it was that bad. These Americans need to take a note from Australians on how to do a good found footage/fake documentary film such as The Tunnel or Lake Mungo because I'm getting real tired of **** movies like this that take every single easy path to make a scare. Even Grave Encounters was better than this because at least there was a bit of acting in that. Rubbish.

Happy - Go - Lucky

You're only going to enjoy this if you like films that focus on characters and nothing else. I enjoyed this for the performances; Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan were incredible. A lot of people are going to find Hawkins' character annoying but I found her endearing and a purely happy person. Definitely worth the watch.

Well that was weird. Not really much to say about this one because it's a great ride to go on but a very weird film. Again this one focuses on character and not really much else. If you like Mark Duplass and his films then you'll like this one despite the incredibly awkward premise.

The Apartment

I'm starting to attack classic films that I haven't seen yet and this marks my first Billy Wilder film and what a great start. I loved it. Jack Lemmon is just so damn fantastic in everything and Shirley MaClaine was lovely. The film also deals with some pretty heavy events and besides the strange happy ending was a perfect blend of comedy and drama.

The Bay

This one was entertaining. It's far from great but certainly not bad at all. It's shot like a fake documentary with hand held footage being shown but it had some very unique and haunting scenes of horror that stuck with me for a while. The acting was so so and the story had a nice biological and real twist at the end. I'd say it's definitely worth the watch.

The last film I saw was Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Great movie. Better than I expected.

I'll be 23 in a month. I was too young to see the movie in the theatre but my parents went to see it. We owned the ****ing videotape of it and I never watched it. Can't believe I waited this long to see it.

Fred, yeah they definitely could have gone into more detail about the process. Crichton dedicated a good chunk of the book to it but so much got cut out of the film.

i agree...that part of the book was fascinating...but at the same time i kind of understand that they had to get the movie moving as quickly as possible

i went and saw it yesterday and i loved it.....there are tons of little tiny shout outs to the original and if you plan on seeing it there is a great little thing at the end of the credits that is specifically for fans of the original films

from what i understand the original film was meant to be a serious horror film but turned into a campy cult classic

on the remake.....this film is old school gory...with very little cg effects and...well lets just say however supplied the blood will be able to send at least three kids to an ivy league school after this film :)

if you really like just rampant gore and a few good loud jumping parts this film is for you....over the top to the point of being laughable but in a good way
