onewheeled999 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hancock Personally, I thought this movie was brilliant. Not as good as, say, Batman Begins or Wall-E, but it was a great movie. It's funny, has great action, and Will Smith does an amazing job as the title character. In my opinion, the length was just right at 90 minutes, like what movies used to be... nevermind. I like the movie, but I can understand why some critics didn't like the twists and feel towards the end of the movie, which in my opinion, were kind of abrupt and strange. It was good, but not great. I recommend it though, but it's definitely not suitable for children. RATING: 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms13 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Stanley made 2 of my top 3 movies, so of corse he is awesome! 2001 and A Clockwork Orange are flawless! It's very sad he was taken away from us to early But he left a great legacy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Coasterboy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Indeed. I have to say I can't pick a favorite, but if I absolutely HAD to I'd say Dr. Strangelove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It's one of the most awaited movie of next year - if not THE most. It will be also the big return of the director who did the most successful movie of all time. And it will also be a technological feat. James Cameron's "Avatar" will be release in 3D - and a "special" 3D, developed by Cameron and his team. As a matter of fact, there will be more than one technological innovations as revealed slashfilm.com. As for the story, here is the synopsis: In a distant future, humanity discovers the planet 'Alpha Centauri B-4', and for those scientists and astronauts who've traversed the gulf between neighboring suns and arrived on its alien soil know it as 'Pandora'. A world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and deadly ammonia-breathing lifeforms. Its also a world that harbors treasures and resources almost beyond price. But just as the original Pandora's Box wrought devastation on those who would use it for their own gain, so too this world may destroy not just the Pandorans home, but ours as well. Avatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival. Below, here is a concept sketch for one of the alien creatures from Avatar Avatar will use so many innovations and had a such long development - not to mention that its release date has moved from May to December 2009 - that we can be sure that James is not going to fail his comeback in SF movies..."It is the most challenging film I've ever made," Cameron said, and for sure we believe him. D&M will keep an eye on it and let you know more as soon as news will be available! Artwork: copyright James Cameron Looks interesting! Anyone know more?

ms13 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 All that's really been released is that both of those pics are fake. Not a single image has been released. They are being very secret about it. But it WILL be one of the biggest movie of all time! James Cameron is back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knottslover77 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 ^Won't make over $300Million Domesticly. Pineapple Express Very funny, but I thought the last action scene draged on just a little bit. B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The Net : 8/10 Still an excellent movie and story. Although the parts with computers in it look a bit dated in the meanwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 But it WILL be one of the biggest movie of all time! That's a mighty big statement there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms13 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 But it WILL be one of the biggest movie of all time! That's a mighty big statement there. And I mighty will stand by it! ( ) Cameron has the number one movie of all time, and is spending close to 3 years just on the special effects! He already spent years on pre production! And with a budget around 250 million, and many people saying that the special effects are the most groundbreaking of all time, I tend to thing it will to good! (Sorry about my little rant there!) Just Saw Mummy 3: The Quest for a Good Script. What the hell happened to this movie? This was the only disappointment of the year for me! The action was boring, the script was very bad, and the humor was horrible! At least sommers could make you laugh while having some decent action! And the Yeti's were horrible! (it saddens me to say that!) Seriously, the prolouge was to long, the climax was just CG fighting, not entertaining. This is the only movie lately where I actually checked the time! 3/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Cameron has the number one movie of all time, and is spending close to 3 years just on the special effects! I assume you're talking about the all time highest grossing movie, right? Titanic? Actually, the fair way is to adjust for inflation. If that's the case, it would be #6 all time. Anyway, I don't think this movie will appeal to as wide array of movie goers as Titanic did, therefor IMO won't come close to being one of the biggest movies of all time. For the record, my definition of one of the biggest all time movies would be $400 million plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RctInfinity Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The Mist - 10/10 Oh, my gosh...This movie was amazing and the ending is indeed the most shocking I've seen. I can't wait to see The Ruins soon! I love the book so far though I have heard that the movie's ending differs from the book's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgadviperboi Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hallam Foe (being released in the states as Mister Foe). It was very odd to say the least but also very entertaining. I highly recommend it. You can catch it on demand as a pre-theater release movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chmilo24 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Dark Knight-10/10 Greatest movie ever, this was no doubt the most amazing movie I have ever seen. Heath Ledger's last movie could not have been greater than this, lets just hope the third one will be just as good if not better. Tropic Thunder-09.99/10 The second-greatest movie ever, this was no doubt the second-greatest movie I have ever seen. I was laughing all through-out this movie, I belive that this will be the comedy of the year. And for all those people for protesting this movie because it's racist or because it says retard a couple times, you don't know what you will be missing. --CHRIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Some kind of monster : 9/10 Metallica documentary shot during the period between their previous bassist left the group and their St Anger tour. I wanted to watch it and fast forward some pieces but I it was very interesting to watch the complete movie. The part where they were sacking their shrink was a bit painful though.

alpengeist04 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I went to see The Dark Knight again this past Tuesday. I liked it even more the second time. IMO, it's definitely the best of all the Batman movies. Next Tuesday I'm seeing Tropic Thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
