y66 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Saw Food Inc (2008) last night. This is 1000000x scarier than those zombie films. Hard to believe we consumers are so indifferent to what we eat that it has come to this. Highly recommend this but not before, during or shortly after dinner.

1eyedjack Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Prince of Persia was quite entertaining. Mind you: entertaining and nothing more. Lots of cool action scenes and above average CGI. Was it as good as the computer game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it as good as the computer game? if you mean as good as sand of time itself I gues yes, but probably not as good as the original. I tried to watch a speeddemo of sands of time and dude, it was so boring, 2 hours of platforming with no shortcuts. http://speeddemosarchive.com/PrinceOfPersiaSoT.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Lobowolf, do you also give lessons on becoming a vegan? Considering a change of pace?! One thing I've learned...it's a lot easier in some places than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbodell Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Ghost writer was good here recently. I also liked The Jonses. I just saw Please Give tonight which was ok, but more a movie with interesting characters/actors but not much in the way of plot and/or theme.

One thing I've learned...it's a lot easier in some places than others.That remark was intended facetiously in response to seeing Food Inc but perhaps it was not entirely facetious. I don't know what it means to be vegan. But I do understand what it means to respect all life forms, even plants! Not sure where the overlap is, if there is any, but I will do some reading and I will start paying way more attention to what I eat. By the way, I enjoy the playful, pseudo (?) worship of all things Lobowolf and I admire the character whose traits we can only infer from so many thoughtful, wry posts. [/End thread hijack.

gwnn Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Prince of Persia was quite entertaining. Mind you: entertaining and nothing more. Lots of cool action scenes and above average CGI. Was it as good as the computer game? I never played the new one and only played the old one a few times. But some of the action scenes were reminiscent of the game and it was a lot of fun to watch how they managed to put them in an otherwise normal semi-historical* movie. Of course it helped to see the film on the big screen rather than my laptop (I mean DVD's from the store!!!). *10% fake history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet is still my fav movie after 5 months this year. It just came to my small town...I guess this is a 2009 movie in big cities.

y66 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Saw Crazy Heart on DVD last night. A little slow at the start but it gets better when Maggie G. shows up. Thought the dude looked a lot like Kris Kristofferson in some of those scenes. Loved the scenes with Robert Duvall and the way Jeff B. lights up in his presence. Who wouldn't?

Little Kid Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Saw Robin Hood recently and thought it was pretty good, though I may be biased because I like everything medieval such as knights, castles, spears, swords, longbows... Overall I think it is a decent movie with a new take on the Robin Hood legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Just watched Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story on DVD. This PBS Frontline documentary, which was released in 2008, describes "the rise and fall of the charming Machiavellian godfather of modern take-no-prisoners Republican political campaigns." Highly recommended for political junkies. I am not one of these but I enjoyed it. I thought that line by Howard Fineman was pretty good: "He understood that the media beast can only be chewing on one ankle at a time. Make sure the ankle is the other guy's.".

Overall I think it is a decent movie with a new take on the Robin Hood legend. I like everything medieval, but as much as I like it, the notion of archers charging against swrodsmans makes me vomit. Also having read about all the troubles on D-Day for Normandy Landings and seeing those medieval landing ships suposed to cross the channel on their own its so ridicoulous. The effects were good though, photografy and such are decent, and the plot is not awful, just that the bad guy is unacceptable, wtf is he doing? what are his motivations? he is just a traitor because he enjoys doing bad things?. That character needed so badly a bit of depth on his history but there is none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyams Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 New kids movie: Saw Space Chimps 2 yesterday after my child dragged me to it. Review:Horrible. Not worth the time or the money.The 3D effects are poor as well. And this is not an adult's review of a kiddie movie. My kid was thorougly disappointed as well.

blackshoe Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I can't speak for the movie, because I haven't seen it, but the real-life John Lackland's motive was simple: lust for power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
