Anyone seen any good movies recently?!

needmoremeat · 04 Aug 2005, 20:47

Despite one evening of watching Mars Attacks on Sky One, and every other advert being for Charlie and the Chocolate factory (which did get rather annoying after a while! Incidentally, I reckon the song on the trailer could be a very effective torture device if listened to often enough!

) or behind the scenes programs, etc, I saw it yesterday and loved it! I was initially afraid that Depp as Wonka would annoy me like the trailers eventually did, but I was proved wrong by the end :) (btw, Tink? I have nothing against Mr Depp at all! Please don't take that the wrong way!)

So, that's my two cents, everyone feel free to add your own!

I saw War Of The worlds the other week, I know it has been out a bit but i thought it was a good film, a little far - fetched in some respects but on the whole a great film!

Wedding Crashers, Fantastic Four and Batman Begins

Well I have seen War Of The Worlds recently, which imho sucked big time because it was just special effects (very good) with absolutely no plot and a pathetic ending. Worst Spielberg movie I've seen so far.

And I've seen Mr. And Mrs. Smith which sucked a little less than WoW - but not much.

Is that a don't go see it? I was going to try and see it but haven't had the time nor the inclination to get to a cinema.

Sorry but she doesn't float my boat, I wouldn't go and see a film because she was in it. Halle Berry, now that's a different story.

Depends. It has it's moments and I guess I would have liked it a little more if Jolie, Pitt and the other actors wouldn't speak with potatoes in their mouths (or if the acoustics in that cinema would have been better). It's kinda difficult to follow a movie in a foreign language when you understand just 2/3 of it.

Mmmmmmmm Johnny Depp.....

Gotta say I didnt like Mr and Mrs Smith, War of the worlds *it was a date...not very good romantic material*, still gotta see Chocolate Factory, but I maintain my claim that the Die Hard Trilogy, The Fifth Element, Armageddon and almost every other Bruce Willis film (except Death Becomes Her as thats kinda lame) still RULEZ. Oh and From Hell with Johnny Depp is also brilliant. As is Pirates...DAMMIT IM TOO SHALLOW!!

Mmmmmmm Bruce Willis....[/drool]

I have the same birthday as mr Willis! Fair few years in between, though!

Think my fave Willis movie was 6th Sense. One of all time faves was Jurassic Park, which came out the same year as Bat 2!

Chris · 06 Aug 2005, 23:21

The Island is a good film

Chris · 09 Aug 2005, 09:28

The new Dukes of Hazzard is total and utter rubbish compared to the original!

needmoremeat · 09 Aug 2005, 18:58

I could tell that just from the trailer, and I haven't even seen the original or any of the TV programs!

Gez · 09 Aug 2005, 21:16

I'll second that!

needmoremeat · 14 Oct 2005, 20:29

I just sat there with a big smile on my face the whole time!

Tim · 19 Oct 2005, 11:12

Sin City is really great, The Fantastic 4 is fun also. And Madagascar is funny!

Bat out of Friesland · 19 Oct 2005, 11:59

Not the newest, but I like Belly of the beast with Steven Seagal most.
But a recent movie: Euhm, Into the sun with Steven Seagal.

needmoremeat · 19 Oct 2005, 15:39

I'm looking forward to Corpse Bride on Friday, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is out on DVD 21st November!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless of course they push the date back three weeks like they did with Corpse Bride

Gez · 19 Oct 2005, 16:16
