netflix to watch this weekend: the enforcer (dirty harry 3), american hardcore (docu that came out this past year)
dvr stuff to watch: rolling thunder, bukowski: born into this
dvd’s to watch: finish off the seven samurai extras (2nd commentary was good)
I don’t have a huge interest in seeing zodiac. jake g. really bothers me these days
I went to see ‘Hot Fuzz’ last night and highly recommend it. It’s a comedy from here in the uk by the team who brought you ‘Shaun of the Dead’ (the ‘zom-rom-com’ which gained critical praise from Romero himself). I’ve been a fan of their stuff since way back when they did the channel 4 sitcom ‘Spaced’, and what can I say, this new film is no dissapointment.
Some really big laughs to be had at this one. It’s set in the UK but there are loads of references to US movies, that’s one thing these guys do: load their films with subtle (and not-so-subtle) homages and references.
If this has got a US release yet then whaddyawaiting for, GO SEE IT!
EDIT: here’s the trailer: [media=youtube]rO9xhRrsy9A[/media]
Watched Rolling Thunder - very good stuff, was surprised how little tommy lee jones was in it. Very understated.
bukowski - dude lived in my neighborhood
american hardcore - funny watching old ex-punks bitch about the new kids
watched running with scissors cuz my fiance wanted to watch it…fucking horrible. i mean, HORRIBLE.
watched the episode of extras with kate winslet…i died laughing…plus i love kate(obviously), it was amazing. i’m a big rick gervais fan…
i watched Pans Labyrinth and liked it, although i expected a little more fantasy. Good movie. which one is better? dream girls or the last king of scotland?
Me and my friend found this website to watch free movies. onempeg.com or something like that.
I told him to click on the DoA movie. I just wanted to see the beginning for the hell of it. But we ended up watching the whole thing. Man, that was crappiest movie I’ve ever seen in my life. Terrible story, stupid fight scenes. There was even a volleyball scene with the girls. Gen Fu was in it for a total of maybe 1 minute. Helena hooks up with some nerd named Weatherby that was in the movie.
It was entertaining, I suppose. I figured since we already watched about a half hour of it, we might as well finish the whole thing. Now I regret doing that.
I saw The Sting, this weekend…movie with Robert Redford and Paul Newman…made in 1973 I think…also won like 7 academy awards…
it was really good, i recommend it…
im outi
Roberth
Finally saw The Departed, just an awesome movie all around.
I hate to admit it…I was 100% positive that my Marky Mark hate would never be diminished…but that dude was fucking awesome…I can’t hate anymore. Loss of hate…damn.
I thought it was okay. Not my favorite, but I love Brian Cox as an actor. It had a solid soundtrack too.
yeah, the ost was good, but the movie was shit. i like brian cox also, but it didn’t make up for the horrible pacing and execution of the movie…
finally watched inconvenient truth last night. i found it to be a very amazing and important documentary. i’m not even going to talk about it’s contents and i do NOT want to spark any discussion of it, but what i saw really shook me.
i have “who killed the lectric car” and “jesus camp” at the top of my list right now
i just saw the movie “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon”
its pretty cool horror/comedy movie
the acting is really good too which is surprising
also checked out Deranged/Motel Hell double feature DVD for really cheap. Both movies are above average and worth the price ($10)
I saw Casino Royale…I thought it was a interesting take on James Bond. I don’t think James really used a gun much, and whooped ass.
The villain sucked in this one though…
is deranged the one about the guy that lived with the old woman (his mom?) and feeds her green pea soup or something and then some necrophilia stuff?
Motel Hell is a classic though
hi
yesterday i watched 300 the movie…
best comic book movie so far i think…best movie i ve seen lately…
together with the gladiator its the best movie of that kind…
yea ha
it’s based on Ed Gein story
supposedly they’re remaking Motel Hell
Meh, not enough Zombie action!

Weekend viewing:
The Sentinel (remake): Started out interesting enough but crashed beginning when Michael Douglas is revealed to be sleeping with the first lady. Movie falls victim to too many unbelievable actions by characters, from Michael Douglas running in the first place to basically every single thing the assassins did. Keifer didnt have much to do and his character was basically a joke. The one scene of the foot race between Douglas and Kiefer was extremely confounding in that while it is going on you have no idea what the purpose is.
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill - This movie ruled.
I couldn’t find the old thread for Horrorfest 2006 (was it merged into this one?), but I figured I’d put this here in case anyone is interested. 7 of last year’s horrorfest films are coming to DVD next week:

I think the consensus was that the Gravedancers looked the most promising. I’ll have to see if they’re available on blockbuster.com…
I saw Jekyll + Hyde the other day. And I gota say, its be best horror movie I’ve seen since saw II.
