What Movies Have You Seen Recently? - Page 2

For another good kung fu spoof, cavalier, try 'Shaolin Soccer'. A Chinese movie, imagine that. I had a hard time finding it, but I live in small town. It's worth the search.

As for a recent movie for me, I was very moved by 'Hotel Rwanda'. Anyone who hasn't seen it should. Kind of a historic thing that I think people should be aware about, particularly because of continuing violence in places like Darfur.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get hold of over here, but I've still never seen it. Next time I go down to the rental store maybe.

I'm curious as to what that means.

sara[h]ng · 07-05-2006, 05:27 PM

Because it's a kung fu movie.

Just saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean. There are some good parts, including a couple of excellent sword-fight sequences, overall though, I was a bit bored. I don't think the story was as strong as last time, though I guess part of that is because they had to set up the third part. Some of the acting was a bit weak, not convinced of Keira Knightly's skills, and though Bloom may well be very pretty, he also seems a bit wooden. Even Depp at times appeared to be impersonating his original performance, rather than being the character.
2 out of 5, at best.

Can't get the damn trailer to download (though i did read the book a while ago).

Saw an old one (1984) , that I never saw before "Runaway". Tom Selleck, Gene Simmons, Kirstie Ally.

Not sure where this would go...but looked an awful lot like the future...

True that Pirates wasn't as good as it could have been, but wasn't Davy Jones AMAZING? Wow. The CGI for him, as it had to have been, I guess, was the best I've ever seen. I'd give it a 3 out of 5, but I kind of want to go see it again just for that.

I just saw Pirates 2 (without having seen Pirates 1). So I was kind of lost as far as plot, but who goes to see that sort of movie for plot? And I have yet to be impressed by Keira Knightly's acting in anything, so I wasn't disappointed as far as that went. I went for the silly predictable gags, cool swordfighting, big explosions, and awesome CGI, and I have to say I found it a thoroughly rewarding evening.

Just saw "Best in Show" on HBO.

Hey, Scarlet--just the opposite for me. I am way behind on my movies, but I just recently saw "The Black Pearl". I thought it was great! I mean, who doesn't love Johnny Depp? I hear he is considering playing Hamlet before he gets too old for the part. That should be interesting. Anyway, can't wait to see the sequel.

InPeace,
InLove
