Yepp, it was a really intense movie. You could get a snippet of what was happening at that time.

hey, long time no boarding. How is everyone?

Wasn't too sure where to post first but this lot caught my eye so....

I went to see Cloverfield and loved every almost every minute of it. I got a slight headache at first tryin to adjust to the camera work but once things got going with that first thunderous bang I was hooked for the rest of the film. I didn't really feel any explanation was needed for a monster, it added to the whole experience. They managed to get across the feeling of actually being there and being completely ignorant of what was happening, learning about it all as it happens. I really liked the fact that nearly all of them were killed as well, made a nice change from the usual '2-3 best characters survive' rule.

On the subject of sequel, the director has mentioned that it will intersect on the bridge, apparently there is another camera-wielding Manhattanite to be seen somewhere during that scene. Looking forward to it.

Also, I've now watched Shoot Em Up about 4 times cos I just have to show it to all my mates! Just love the fast-paced action of it all.

Next up is No Country.. after the girlfriend gets to see Over Her Dead Body.

I've just realised that this will probably seem quite out-dated thanks to the later release times for movies over here...but anyways...roll on the Coen Bros...

~"Bosco, I totally got that from No Country... the main character was actually the 'bad guy' "~

~"Who wouldn't get that? It was pretty obvious."~

ok, maybe I'm just slow then.

@ Charco

Hasn't Shoot 'Em Up got the best film intro ever? :D I love that film!

Nah, I heard a LOT of people bitching about No Country, typical 'american' movie fans, who just didn't get it... 'The hero dies way before the end of the movie' kind of crap.

I heard from someone who's read the book it's based on that it's an almost perfect copy of the book, but even better in film. I guess the book is a series of only vaguely related short stories, but the film ties them all together.

I want a compressed air gun.

This is what you want

Charco!!! n00b of the year!! ;) Glad to see you back!!

Hey again,

@iguana: Definitely the best intro ever! "Eat your Vegetables!" Some show for one-liners!

@whirly: thanks, glad to finally have myself my own internets! (even if i'm technically stealing it(crack)sshhh!)

My dad took out my uncle's eye with an air-rifle, this led to my dad occasionally finding a glass eye staring out of his pint in the pub! I really want one to shoot at noisy gits leaving the night club next-door on a Sunday night.

Anyone looking forward to Jumper? I really don't know what to make of it...

I wasn't when I saw the first trailer, then the second one had Samuel L Jackson, so then I saw, but as the films I've seen so far have been pants I'll download it rather than travel to see it and pay at the cinema.

Also, not just the one liners but Nirvana as well :D

Ah yes! Rockin' soundtrack. It's hard not to like the movie but I made the mistake of mentioning Hard Boiled(with Chow Yun-Fat) to a friend before I made him watch it so he wasn't too impressed when they showed people re-loading!

I'm gonna go check out some trailers...so long without the wibblywobblywonderweb...so much I probably didn't need to know or see...!

I rented 7 movies:

Harry Potter 4 and 5

Garden State

Little miss Sunshine

Paradise Now

The Shawshank redemption

Big Fish

U need something to do when u cant move from the couch!

Now i just hope i can concentrate.

Oooo - that's a good list when the body calls for being a couch potato.

Big Fish is good - it will make you cry!

Shawshank Redemption, also an excellent flick.

Garden State was OK - got more praise than I felt it deserved.

Little Miss Sunshine was very good.

Harry Potter 4 was absolutely terrible. Harry Potter 5 was maybe a couple shades better than the 4th but too much was omitted when transferring book to film.

Haven't seen Paradise Now...

Where in the world is osama bin laden?

I loooooove Garden State.

When i still used to model i watched this film with my friend in New York. At one point there is a conversation about how when you get home it doesnt feel like home anymore. Me and my friend had been gone from home for a while by than, living all over the world, and that part in the film both made us cry hahahaha.

Little Miss sunshine is one of my favorite movies ever. Ive seen it three times already, its just so funny!

Shawshank is a classic.

Harry Potter...well...i loved the first three films but the latest two are a bit shit;. But my mum hasn't seem em yet so thats why i rented them.

Ah well.

I think I'll watch Planet Terror tonight :D Haven't seen it, the bastards didn't release it in the cinemas over here!

Planet Terror is hilarious. It's a shame you didn't get to see it in the theaters though. It was a real audience experience.

Nothing like a packed theater going "EWWWWWWWWW!" in unison.

Ooooo, Planet Terror. iggy, I have a feeling you will dig it. At least I hope so - you've seen movies lately that haven't been your cuppa tea so it's about time you saw something you can come back here and say "that was good".

I agree with Gillenium it's a shame you didn't see it in the theaters. That movie (along with Death Proof - double feature, yeah!!) were made to be watched in a theater with an audience that isn't afraid to participate. Good times.

I was really upset that it wasn't shown as a whole in our cinemas but that was your lots fault! You all left after the first film :roll: so we didn't get Grindhouse. We got Death Proof in the cinema for one week :o and no showing of Planet Terror.

I watched it yesterday, I'm not really into zombie films but it's definitely the best one I've seen. It's funny in places and I loved seeing Bruce Willis as I didn't even know he was in it! Also Fergie mmmm mmm mmmm. The film is pretty disgusting, the effects reminded me of The Thing, brilliant stuff.

Out of both I prefered Death Proof. None of them have intricate story lines, it's just simple great cinema :D

Just watched You Kill Me. Funny film :D

I love Sayid from LOST in Planet Terror... "I'm going to have to take your balls now"

haha yeah, what the fuck was that all about?

I watched Sweeney Todd today, and I actually liked it. Does that make me gay? :o
