AbominableHoman Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I have yet to watch The Hurt Locker, but I'm so glad that Avatar didn't win Best Picture. Go see it. Very good film. I'm glad the bitch who made Point Break scored an Oscar. Anyone see Cameron Diaz, nervous as shit and choked a few times.

You haven't seen Hurt Locker, or even more importantly, A Serious Man yet? Edited March 8, 2010 by Angelica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Star Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yes, I have seen Goodfellas, The Godfather Series, The Departed, Once Upon A Time In America, Casino, Scarface and Carlito's Way. So any other good mob movies I should see? I do have Public Enemies and plan to watch it, but what else is missing from my plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bad Sleep Well (best mob movie ever), Heat, The Long Good Friday, Miller's Crossing, Infernal Affairs (which The Departed is an inferior remake of), White Heat, Angels with Dirty Faces, Get Carter, etc. And of course, every episode of The Sopranos, which is better than all other tv shows (and most mob movies).

Black Sabbath Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Wow. Alice In Wonderland beat Avatar's record for the amount of money it made in its first weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It made record for highest opening weekend for a 3-D film. Not surprised but it won't stay in the charts as long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBellaVita Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Right now I need to see Precious. It's so fucked, the book is even worse. Secondly I want to see Alice in Wonderland 3D before it turns in to one of those things scene kids are obsessed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly Guns Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Wow. Alice In Wonderland beat Avatar's record for the amount of money it made in its first weekend.not suprising really, people didnt know what to expect from the Avatar or what the 3D was all about and that turned them off, I dont know how many times I would over hear people talk about avatar like it was one of those 3D shows at disney world lol. Every 3D movie that comes out now will gain more viewers because of what Avatar has started. So I am sure the next big 3D movie will outsell Alice in Wonderland.

BMo13 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I can't believe Kathryn Bigelow didn't thank ( OR MENTION) Johnny Utah or Bodhi? WTF. (I'll give her props on thanking the troops multiple times though)I'm just happy that the director of the epic POINT "I'm An EFF BEEE IIIII AGGEEENNTT" Break won an Oscar. Should've happened 18-19 years ago, but bettter late than never.Oh and Swayze got FUCKING ROBBED in the dead people thing. He should've had his own thing like John Hughes. I mean shit, Johnny Utah was already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) How Green My Valley Was dir Admiral John Ford.An absolutely breathtaking movie from Hollywoods Golden Era. I can't even actually begin to explain what its about without making it sound boring so i won't say but its one of the most outright stunning, visually, movies that i have ever seen. Part of what i've always loved is cinemas ability to transport you to another time and place tell a really really really human story. A beautiful piece of cinema and an important part of its lineage. They really really don't/can't make em like this anymore. Perhaps because the Admiral John Fords and John Hustons and Henry Hathaways and Humphrey Bogarts and Cary Grants and Jimmy Stewarts of this world are gone. We're the worser off for it and movies like this remind me of that, as well as reminding me why the aforementioned are so important.but what else is missing from my plate?Scarface, Little Ceasar, The Roaring Twenties, Public Enemy, Bullets or Ballots, Smart Money, The Doorway to Hell.

Guest Apollo Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Funny how people just instantly bash movies like Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, even before they see them.....just because they are popular or made a lot of money.Neither movie changed my life . . . . but I found them both enjoyable.2012 on the other hand. Wow.Why spend sooo much money on special effects without coming up with a quality script/plot first?It's basically just The Day After Tomorrow. But not as good.It has every big movie, earth is ending cliche in it. I'm not looking for pure reality in a movie like this - but it'd be nice to make it as realistic as possible.Just so many stupid things that you sit back and go "did the director really watch dailys of this and go "f*ck it, it's ok that part doesn't make sense."Example. JC drops his kids off at his ex-wife's house. The new husband comes out and says "whose ready for pancakes." JC leaves for a couple hours and all hell breaks loose. So he rushes back to the house and the family is still eating the pancakes. Just stupid things like that, that they could have cleaned up in editing.This is how cliched it is. We see John Cusak driving and I turned to my friend and said "I bet he's going to pick up his kids, who live with his divorced wife and her new husband." Of course, that was the case. The entire movie is like this.I didn't expect a masterpiece. But I thought it might at least be an enjoyable action movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I realize it's only flaw is the fact that it made a lot of money. I totally love it now! Thx, Apollo! Edited March 9, 2010 by Angelica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
