What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

the idea in the graphic novel is to create an imaginary threat that will unite the world and keep it from completely destroying itself, hence giant alien octopus. i'm not sure what happens in the movie since i haven't seen it.

I've actually never read the graphic novel, never heard of Watchmen before I saw the preview. But the original ending does sound interesing if it is remembered correctly.

well, this isn't downloading movies (which saves from potential legal hassle) but this site has a fair amount of movies/tv shows/documentaries that you can just stream which is really nice. The trick is finding which link has the best quality.

It's really good for watching movies that just came out in the theater that you don't want to cough up 7 or 8 bucks for.

I'd much rather go to Christian Slater or Steve Buscemi for that role. I think Hoffman is more slick than those guys though.

JCVD starring Jean Claude Van Damme ..

Jean Claude Van Damme plays himself in this movie where he's in a legal battle for his daughter and has problems paying his lawyer, etc etc. Back in Brussels, he goes to the bank/post-office to withdraw money when he's thrown into a bank robbery/hostage situation.

It's the first time I can remember seeing Van Damme actually act in a movie and it feels like there's a high level of honesty about himself and who he is. He seems tired, vulnerable and worn-out, but not uncharming. Of course, he's not an action hero in "real life" (and this movie). In regards to his "character", I'm not sure how much of this movie is made up and how much of it is real, but he does a rather fine job.

The movie itself is a drama with a few glimpses of comedy here and there. It wasn't great, but it was entertaining and had it's moments. If the idea of the 47-year old Van Varenberg (or Van Damme) acting and playing himself intrigues you, then give it a go.

How often do you use it? The last time I had to format my hard drive due to a ridiculously high amount of spyware in a very short space of time I blamed it on that site as I had just started to use it and was using it quite a bit. Can't be sure though.

Kevorkian Logic · 03-20-2009, 08:08 AM

fairly often and I haven't had any trouble with spyware or anything. It's a pretty legit site.

I might treat myself to the JCVD film as a birthday treat 2moz. He has performed quite well in his last few films to be fair. Until Death is very good for what it is.

i really enjoyed JCVD, will incorporate into a DVD shopping spree i think along with the Karate Kid

Incidentally i'm not advocating watching films in crappy resolution on tiny pop-up boxes. You can't muck around with films
