who?

Just saw “Children of Men”… Twice.

This movie was incredible.

I’m so glad it’s still in theatres. If I had missed out on this film I’d of been pissed. I had no idea what this movie was, I’ve never seen a preview of it or even heard of it from any of my friends.

This film better win some kind of award.

movies watched this weekend -

finished Shocker - directed with energy but incredibly cheesy. fun movie though
Scoop - not bad, not good.
hills have eyes 2 - they padded the hell out of this with clips from the first one

was it a screening of hhe2 or something? i just found out they were making a sequel…personally, it’s not my thing, i was just wondering…

Mindhunters is a good movie.

nope, the oldschool sequel to the original. craven actually directed it, god knows why

lol - i didn’t even know that…you know too much about horror cinema there pg…you looking forward to grindhouse at all?

What’s funny about Hills 2is that even the dog has a flashback in the movie.

omg, thats enough for me to see it right there…

I saw Rocky Balboa last week…yeah, what to say about it…

It was alright I guess but it seemed like they tried too hard to go back to the movie’s roots and it just wasn’t the same IMO.

well, oscar noms came out. little miss sunshine rocked with way more noms than i thought it would. i haven’t seen enough of these films to make an accurate judgement, but the osacrs are so political it’s almost offensive.

also, saw “this film is not yet rated” last night. all i can say is holy fucking shit. fuck the mpaa. i mean, i hated them already, but jesus fucking a goat, it’s so much worse than i imagined.

I just watched Saw 3…quick question.

About the Ending

Spoiler

So does that ending mean we are gonna get a Saw 4 somehow? Or was he just fucked and they wanted you to think he’ll never get his daughter back since Jigsaw is dead? He did say “IF” you want her back you have to play a game though right?

My only problem with Rocky 6 was how they threw Tony Duke (Apollo’s trainer) into the final 20 minutes of the film. Although his “Hurtin’ Bombs” speech more than makes up for it.

Oh… and Antonio Tarver playing a heavyweight when even a 60-year-old Sly was more cut than him.

Oscar Nominations

GOOOO LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE!!!

as much as i love the film, i don’t think it’s going to walk away with many statues…i think bnoth supporting catagories will go to dreamgirls…

im glad paul greengrass got nominated, and Marky Mark getting a nom is cool. Interesting that Leo got one for Blood Diamond and not departed. Im not a big fan of the whole nominating kids thing but if the whale rider girl got one then why not Amber breslin.

it’s funny, i called the forest whitaker nom from the first preview i saw of last king. kate winslet can do no wrong, she gets nommed every year…not saying i’m not happy, i LOVE kate. i am in love with kate. she’s like the oscar sweetheart, she does a movie, they nom it…

My Oscar nom predictions turned out pretty good… I called Best Supporting for Wahlberg and Best Adapted Screenplay for The Departed… and Best Editing/Cinematography for Children of Men (I think I mentioned my predictions in this thread or some other one, I can’t bother to look)… although they’re pretty obvious nominations if you’ve seen those films. The Academy is a little more unpredictable when it comes to actually dishing out awards, so I won’t say anything.

…I’m still counting on a total snub for Departed/Scorcese.

I’m glad Greengrass got a nom as well. I thought United 93 was a more appropriate depiction of 9/11 than Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center, although the focus of 93 was more centralized.

I still haven’t been able to catch The Departed. Question to anyone who has seen both The Departed and the original “Infernal Affairs”: Does seeing IA first take away from The Departed since you know more or less what’s going to happen? Has anyone seen The Departed first then IA?
