movies are big business

some produce 5 times the money that was invested in them

don`t worry they will milk this cow like the star wars thing, so you could be up for a couple of surprises

money talks and dogshit walks

they already got this pottermore website, which is some online version of JKR`s stuff, open for people in october, or when

Yea, they'll still make money off a bunch of shit even though the series is over.

Super 8--loved it. I'd heard pretty blah reviews, but that was easily the best movie JJ Abrams has had a hand in. It wasn't trying to be anything groundbreaking, and in fact was very faithful to influences like Goonies and Stephen King's It. Really it was like some weird amalgam of almost everything King wrote in the '80s, but the effect was more homage/period-piece than derivative/knock-off.

The Jacket 2005..

oh my god , i loved this movie,,, very very interesting , things to do with dreaming life , dead life and wake life ,, i mean wow.. 9/10 to that.

Rise of Planet of the Apes - I really went in expecting just a popcorn flick, but WOW. They actually did a good job with this reboot. James Franco was really entertaining and fun. The CGI was done well enough to where you could actually believe the apes were real. Also, Malfoy.

Before that, since I haven't posted in a while:

Waking Life - I am sure most of you have at least heard of this movie by Richard Linklater. It's a movie filmed in Rotovision (like Linklater's later film, A Scanner Darkly) about, primarily, Lucid Dreaming and philosophy. What a GREAT movie. It gets a bit verbose at times, but it was really an entertaining and fun movie.

I have NetFlix instant, and I am not taking advantage of it, so I think I will start adding a bunch of movies to watch. I did see the Call of Cthulhu movie that the Lovecraft foundation did. It was a silent film and REALLY captured the mood of the story. Lovecraft is weird. His concepts are perfectly terrifying, and work well in a story (ie my avatar of Dagon) but in movies, it just doesn't hold well. This movie was fun, campy, and just a really good retelling of the story. Though I will be out of town this weekend, I plan to start posting 5 movies from Netflix a week. Like I said, I will really utilize my subscription.

Rise of the planet of the Apes

WATCH THE MOVIE NOW!

wrecked 2011..
very stupid story ;/

4/10

I wanna see planet of apes just because I love James Franco. I only started liking him after he was in comedy movies. And I've only seen half of waking life. I just wasn't in the mood to watch it when I rented it. I knew it was about lucid dreaming, but I just couldnt finish it when I watched it. I'll rent it some other day.

Super 8 ,ooK STORY , NICE EFFECTS AND GRAPHICS ETC, 7/10

Sex Drive. Pretty much the only funny parts were Seth Green's sarcastic Amish guy. It wasn't bad--just the meh-fest you'd expect from a "We're gonna get you laid" comedy.

Just watched The Good Night again. Still love it. 10/10

watch it

Fucking ass there are so much god damn movies named Avatar :/

I watched the finale of the show yesterday (not the crap movie that came out last year) and the fanale is 1 hour 35 min, so i guess its a movie. It was really awesome.... really really awesome.

Secret Window ..

it was ok
but the ending was Totally CRAPP!

SexDrive

Was a good movie, I found it particularly interesting the way the worked in various types of humor, I think it was clever the way that they did that. Also, the didn't completely over do it with topless women, just enough that it made certain parts of the film slightly more interesting. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Cowboys & Aliens... I thoroughly enjoyed this film and loved all the talent that was put out by Craig and Ford. A good blend of action and story (a little more action, but that's what I was in the mood for).

I will never tire of watching Harrison Ford up on that big screen... he is movie gold.

Every time I see a trailer for this I can't help but think about an ongoing black & White comic series called The Rook that came out initially in Eerie magazine in the 70's.

Here's the first installment of it

Amazing art by Luis Burmejo.

Kickboxer 1989.

8/10 pretty nce .. ofc with van damme ..

I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I have to say that the movie was utterly stunning. I haven't really enjoyed a movie since the masterpiece Inception until this one. It was fantastic 7.5/10

then how is it a 7.5

Rise of the Planet of the Apes- yeah, the CGI was amazingly done, while some of the movement would occasionally be too real to be believable, but other than that good. Storyline was also good, not really anything too complicated. And Malfoy- was a complete jerk. I'm glad he died

super troopers 2011 pretty funny i guess.

Battle: Los Angeles - Pretty good. Nice cinematography, but I'm not too sure whether I liked all of the human story/exposition, or if I thought it bogged down the movie, and caused it to lack the bombastic action that I was expecting. Will have to watch it again, before I get too knit-picky. I enjoyed it, overall, though.

Cowboys and Aliens - From what I can remember, I enjoyed it. However, I was pretty drunk, and it was on kind of a dark Telesync copy so, again, I'm going to have to give it another view, before really passing judgement.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Just about as good as I thought it would be. I don't know that I'm really satisfied with the ending, as it didn't really give that 'starting to take over the planet' vibe, but I won't gripe about it too much. It was definitely a good flick, though. I loved the character of Ceaser, and how eerily human they made him look/feel.

Captain America - Good stuff. An all around solid superhero movie. It seemed much smaller-scale than some of the other Marvel spectacles that have come out in the past, but the movie had a lot of charm in its exposition, which made up for it. I thought Weaving was awesome as Red Skull. For someone with such a distinct tone to his voice, I love the way that he's able to change it up to fit his roles, so no two roles really sound exactly alike. I was expecting to hear some Agent Smith in him, but it was practically gone - replaced with that nasally, German accent, which fit the Skull so well. Tommy Lee Jones was absolutely perfect. (He usually is.) Chris Evans was really good, which is what I expected, after seeing some of the clips, and his love interest was stunning and quite badass, in her own right.

30 Minutes or Less
It was funny and enjoyable, but I hate Danny McBride. I really don't get his appeal.

Insomnia
I saw it before, and I think it is one of my least favorite Nolan flicks, but I enjoyed it a lot. Watching Al Pacino come unhinged while being antagonize by Robin Williams is brilliant.
