nameless_girl Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The new X Files film really is disappointing for what it could have been. It's basically a monster-of-the-week story from one of the later seasons, except stretched out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 In Bruges is pretty damn good.I saw that. Better than I thought.That midget was pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Some episodes from season 8 and 9 of the X-Files are some of the best in the series. And I really liked Robert Patrick's character. He even wanted to be in this movie. It's quite sad they didn't invite him back for the movie.I love 8 and 9 too. It's a shame most people didn't latch on to the new characters.X-Files still has the most disappointing final episode ever for me though. AWFUL. Even worse than Seinfeld's.I actually really like the last episode of X-Files. I also love 8 and 9 too. Alot of people dont because no Mulder and not much of Scully. It was a nice little change.I loved Mulder & Scully, so seasons 8 and 9 weren't too good -for me- but still, that was way better than stuff on tv these days.And, I watched Hancock yesterday and I gotta say I was surprised by it. I didn't know what to expect really.. but yeah, it was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Rambler Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 X-Files still has the most disappointing final episode ever for me though.Not that good but not that bad for me either. I think it has some great dialogue... I love the "trial" scene, or whatever I should call it, when they're trying to prove the government is hiding the truth about the extra-terrestrials or something... Haven't seen those episodes in awhile.I really enjoyed the final episode, i liked it alot better than the new movie anyway. And i liked seaons 8 and 9 with dogget and reyes. Its sad, i really really wanted to like the new film, i was so excited, and then watchin i just kept waitin for it to get good and become exciting and it didnt. I just hope that it makes some money so they can make another film, one for the proper fans and bring back a lot of the characters or maybe bring back the show for a season.

Also Mulder is in about half of season 8, so that helps make that season more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I watched "Shining" again last night and hell, this is the best goddamn psycho-movie ever! I love this movie to pieces, it's perfect in so many ways. From Jack Nicholsons perfect acting, to the plot and how it's filmed, to the really well done orchestration, leading up to several points where you just go "Woah!" although it's just the next "Next day" sign.I also love the dialogues, sometimes so simplistic but they fit in really well in the scene they're happening in or in the whole movie."How are things going, Mr. Torrance?"- "Things could be better, Lloyd.Things could be a whole lot better."I also love that the ending is such a mindfuck!That's what you get for watching a Kubrick film! What a genius that guy was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a mindfuck? It shows how he's been assumed into the history of the hotel itself - as it had been prophecied.*edit - It is a brilliant ending, but I don't think it qualifies as a mindfuck.Perfect ending to be fair.

AbominableHoman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) Eastern Promises. Great movie, really enjoyed it. I think certain issues could have unfolded with a little bit more depth, and a couple of plot points were left untied (one could argue intentionally); worth checking it out, Vigo Mortenson was great.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Right now I'm downloading Child's Play. I haven't seen it since I was a little kid.

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) Wanted is rather cool. Pretty mindless and with a blaringly obvious plot twist, but McAvoy proving again that he can take any role and make it utterly fantastic. Best actor in the world today bar none easily if you ask me. I didn't expect for him to put in a performance that would overly impress me considering it was just an action film but he knocked it out of the park.Freeman, Jolie and Marc Warren were really awesome in it too. One of the strongest casts for an action film in a really long time. Edited July 29, 2008 by Ridin' the Nightrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge_And_Slash Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Watched Face/Off and Night At The Museum with the missus last night, have to say, as a Ben Stiller fan, was not that impressed with the latter. Face/Off is the fucking nuts though, Nicolas Cage used to be a fucking sweet actor, now what's become of him? A second rate Indianna Jones....

nameless_girl Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 What is Wall-E like, by the way? I'm not sure how much longer it's going to keep on playing, so this is one of my last chances to decide whether it's worth seeing on the big screen or not. I've heard people rave about it in utter ecstasy, and then I've heard other people call it a movie "for mentally retarded people who need the point driven home about two dozen times before they get it."
