It's Revenge of the Sith. I watched Episode III four times, and really find the movie too fast-paced. Just how quick Anakin's anger grew, just because he's accepted at the Jedi Council and not become a Jedi Master.

Among the prequels, I like Episode I. The hype is still there whenever I'm watching it. I'll earn to buy the entire series in home video. I've seen Episode V (which I think the best among the Original Trilogy series) and Episode VI only once, and barely forgotten everything about the two movies.

One big Lightsaber for one great movie saga:

Personally, I thought Jar Jar Binks killed Episode I. That guy is probably my most hated movie character of all time.

Finally watched 'The Departed' a couple days ago. It was a perfectly fone movie except I think I may have had greater expectations after all thats has been said about it. I really had no problem, my wife surprisingly loved it after she begged not to watch it. Twas good I suppose. Still need to check out Borat though.

The good thing about Borat today was that you could actually laugh without people yelling at you to shut up... that was great. :D In cinemas here, people frown upon others who make any noise during a movie. Even funny ones.

True, that character should've been ran over by the Droid Gunrovers or shoud've been brutally killed during the Droid's invasion.

What does Borat's Jagshemash mean?

I watched Tupac: Resurrection the other night... it remminded me of why I love Tupac so much. A lot of epople don't know that he was a THespian in HS. Was a very intelligent guy (despite having a big mouth... god damn he could never keep it closed).


gd damn I'm almost drunk right now... I'm typing pretty well though. I got work in like 5 hours becuase of black friday... I got a 4 to 4 shift. I drank so I would get tired to go to sleep. too lazy to find Nick's drunk thread right now


watching Spiderman 2 on TV right now... why do I love this movie so much?? I dunno every timne I finish watching, it just makes me wanna go out and be a better man. A quote from Aunt May in the movie goes somehing like there's a hero in all of us, something that makes us wanna do something good so we can go to our gaves with our heads held up high.... there's ads for Siperdman 3 too... I don't think it'll be as good as the first 2, which I thought were amaizng but it'll still be a good moive. man I can't wait for Spiderman 3... for some reason the commercials for it make it seem like the guy that plays sandman becomes Venom too, with the black shit dripping on himin one clip

Finally watched 'Click' Yesterday (at least glimpses of ti while I was cooking). Pretty good movie, had its twists and turns but in the end didnt regret seeing it.

Saw 'Thank you for smoking". It was actually good in my opinion. Wasnt a waste of time and had its smart moments.

Started watching Nacho Libre but was interrupted so I gotta get back to it another time. Thats my report for now.

I really enjoyed the movie. Good stuff.

I saw the new Will Ferrell movie the other day Stranger Than Fiction. It was quite good. It definitely worth it, it had it's funny moments along the way, but it was far from a typical Ferrell movie.

Thank You For Smoking was hilarious, that guy has the ability to talk, and talk he did. It was really good, I began watching it with no expectations so I was pleasantly surprised.

Nacho sucked. :(

I just saw that movie too, I had high expectations because I had heard nothing but great things about it, and I liked it a lot.

The coolest person for me in that movie was his son, that kid was just cool on so many levels. Funny at the end how he started winning those debating competitions, was one of those "go figure" moments.

Thank You for smoking is slowly becoming one of my favorite movies. It is one of those few movies that is humorous on multiple levels. Aaron Eckhart is flawless in delivery and so is his character. Every time you think he's cornered you can watch the wheels turning in his head as he talks his way out of it. Amazing satire and couldnt've been scarily more accurate. I also like watching the father question his own morality. My 2 cents...

Anybody seen "Big Fish"?

I'm currently contemplating whether or not to watch it and was wondering if anyone would recommend it.

I just saw both of those, and like both of them. 'Click' was pretty good. I wasn't expecting much from Adam Sandler (cant stand him personally), but it was better than I expected. I was left with a vague feeling of watching Little Nicky when the whole Angel of Death came into play but aside from that it wasn't half bad.

Thank You For Smoking was better than I thought it would be too, maybe because it was different than most of the rehashed plotlines out there today.

Saw several other movies today also (thanksgiving break). I just finished watching "Waist Deep". It was Ok, but I thought the casting was a little strange. I just didn't picture Tyrese Gibson in a loving father role, but the bloodshed and gunfights made it a little more fitting. Plot line was just too familiar for me though. The ending was almost exactly the same as "Set it off" , an older movie with Queen Latifah and a few others who rob a bank and escape to mexico. Also reminded me of Dead Presidents too... same guy gets killed in both movies (Larenz tate) he also got killed in "Crash". I think they throw him in a lot of these movies just to die :lol:

Also saw Behind Enemy Lines 2, and it was just another military movie, slightly remodeled.

Tomorrow I'm going to watch the Sentinel. Also bought Inside Man, Rising Sun, Hulk and Along Came Polly on DVD at walmart today. Don't know which one I'll watch next.

Inside Man was a reall good movie (Y), I don't know why it didn't get rave reviews when it was in theaters. Spike Lee's always made decent movies and Denzel's a great actor ("This ain't no bank robberryyyy!") but what made this movie was how well written it was.

It was OK. I like Tim Burton's movies, and this one, if I remember correctly, is a weird romantic movie with weird things that happen.

Now I'm at a crossroad. I also spoke to an Asian buddy of mine last night and he said it wasnt really worth watching and now I come today and you say it may be. :cry:

Its just that on IMDB more than a few said it was good so I was just a tad interested. Well, maybe I'll preview the first 15 minutes and see.


While I'm at it anyone seen '2042'? ...I think thats the name.

Just came back from Casino Royale, I was pleasantly surprised. No bullshit gadgets, lots of hand to hand combat & a perfect James Bond since Sean Connery. Daniel Craig was simply the bomb.

Eva Green was elegantly/sophisticadedly gorgeous, a bit on the skinny side but nothing a few good steaks couldn't fix. The whole raccoon eyed make up, pouting lips, innocent eyes and good dose of cleavage, who could say no?

I'm actually looking forward to future Bond installments, by the way, this Bond could actually win from Jason Bourne, if he continues the way he's going.

Overall, top notch, I really enjoyed the movie. Really. It won't win any boring Oscar awards (since a lot of movies they choose are based on "realism", but if you want a good action flick with gorgeous women, eye candy in the form of cars, witty lines and double sentiment lines, this is the movie for you. :)

I just watched Like Mike 2, this movie sucks pretty bad nowhere near as good as the first one, obviously its a budget film with no name actors etc. The story is really crappy and the concept is way crappier than the first one. The only NBA star who was in it was Clyde Drexler who hosts this streetball tournament.
