Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: a few


Movies we've seen lately:
Rounders
Pathology
Drillbit Taylor
21
Over Her Dead Body
The Happening
The Ruins

But i'm only going to briefly review 2 or 3. I'm really not in a writing mood.

The Ruins. Cool! I thought it was pretty alright. Plot line from IMBD: A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.
It's suspensful enough, has a decent amount of visual gore but doesn't over do it, and the acting is all in all decent and believable. Are there cheesy moments? One or two, maybe. A good horror/thriller film for these days. We were pleasantly surprised! I'd give it 7.5 stars out of 10.


Drillbit Taylor. I thought this was a really funny movie. 3 less-than-popular kids hire a homeless guy (who they believe to be a real bodyguard) to protect them from a couple of nasty school bullies. The main bully in this movie really is a monster! Terrible. The events that go on throughout the movie are funny and clever, and you can't help but LOVE the geeky kids. They rock. The movie tries to convey a message (that fighting violence with violence is no good), and even though in the end that message proves not to work in this case...it still comes through anyway. Funny kick-ass scene in the end. Oh, and if you like Fight Club, you'll get a kick out of it. This movie is great for adults and children...however, there are a few adult-like ideas and scenes, and 'some' cursing. great movie, though! 8 stars out of 10.

Pathology. Good film, but too many corny drug-usage scenes mixed with sex. But if you want great visual effects and GORE, mixed with an interesting story line...go for it! Great ending, can't say great acting but it worked out fine. If you don't want to see dead people and cadavers, don't see this movie. That's what it's all about. You've got these med students 'playing the role of God', killing people off and making a game of it...one student will kill, and the others have to do an autopsy to find out how it was done. The point of the game is to commit the perfect murder...one that can't be figured out. 7 stars out of 10. Makes you wonder what really goes down with your body when you die.

Topic: Happy Father's Day
Subject: Pops


I hope everyone had a good one.
With my father having died about 4 years ago, i tend to forget on Father's Day. It makes me feel horrible, but i think about him so much on any other day. And so i just want to say, don't just wait until Father's Day or your dad's birthday to remember him or show him you appreciate and love him. Of course, not all parents are 'parents', or necassarily good ones. But i know a lot...most of them, try. I'm not a parent yet, but i know it is difficult. If only you can realize that better when you're a kid or a teen.
But i do hope all the dads out there had a very special and love-filled day yesterday.

Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: movies


We've seen a few movies lately. Almerin already mentioned In Bruges. Very nice film. Don't let your children watch it, however. It drops the F-bomb a LOT...but that was part of the awkward, but realistic humour.

We also saw Martian Child. I LOVE this movie! It's about an orphan boy who believes he is from Mars, who at first lives in a box, until a Fantasy/Sci-fi writer comes and adopts him. Oh no, he doesn't get 'cured' at all, he still wears his 'holding down belt' because Earth's gravity is weak, and he's still only here on Earth to complete his mission of documenting how humans live and behave. The whole movie is great, even the ending. I think several people here on the Inn may also be able to relate to it. Being a bit different than everyone else, the loner, maybe the outcast. I know i could sometimes...but not in that typical cliche way, because the determination and strength of this kid's character is astounding. Easily a family film (it would be a great movie for your kids to watch, actually), but also an overall pleaser to anyone who'd see it.

We've also seen Penelope, though Almerin has yet to finish it up. It's also a pretty alright movie. A girl (Christina Ricci) is born with a pig's face (nose, actually) because of a curse that an old witch placed on her rich, greedy, snobby family line. A nice twist on how she loses her oinker snout. Not what you're thinking throughout the film. Great family movie.

And last night we watched Untraceable. It really wasn't that bad at all. It's not so 'impossible' as people like to say. It's not so ridiculous that you can't enjoy it. It's not even ridiculous at all. It's suspensful, thrilling, and leaves you making sure your doors and windows are locked, haha. I do think it is overly unlikely that even the FBI/government wouldn't be able to shut down the website, but it's an exaggerated extreme scenario, and well...it just works. It's about a troubled person (can't give away who the killer is yet) who sets up his basement as a 'torture chamber' so that he can film animals and people dying through a live streaming video on the internet. The more viewers that come to watch it, the faster the victim dies through the horrible, horrible torturing. So, basically, everyone watching is murdering him. Sure, there are a few little 'yea right' moments in the movie, but not overly. It's enjoyable. But the lighting in the film is SO ANNOYING!! High-ish contrast and low brightness. Too dark.

Topic: Upcoming Movies
Subject: yea


yes, indeed. The ending-part of the Hancock trailor really dissapointed me as well. You start off thinking it's going to be pretty cool...maybe...hopefully!...and then something past half-way through the trailor to the end, you see that he becomes this kind of superman-ish hero with a *shocker* attitude. ehhh...

I still want to see it. I mean, i'm willing to see other super hero movies, so we might as well see this one! It's Will Smith...he's good, even if he ends up playing a typical role.

The animal one was indeed asked already, but without the 'smae mental capacity' bit. So maybe that's why people aren't answering. In any case, figured i'd offer a new question:


Free plastic and/or corrective surgery by the finest surgeons. What would you have done, if anything?

The only definition of muzzle that i know is a thing you put on an animal's mouth & nose to keep them from biting. I'm guessing you don't mean that kind...?

uhh... Sock?


You get the choice of two books to read. You must pick one and read it fully:
1. A self-help enlightenment book chosen by Oprah and her book club, or...
2. The Bible

I'll pretend you wished that women's clothes weren't more expensive than mens. Yes? ok.

Sooo...

They're no longer more expensive, they're free! And now men everywhere have started wearing women's clothes because they're free. It's a new trend, and it never dies.


I wish my back didn't hurt so bad.

As there are 3 listings for what LWOP stands for:

LWOP Lease-With-Option-to-Purchase
LWOP Leave Without Pay
LWOP Life Without Parole

...you sadly get the last one...meaning you're only choice would be which lifetime! You can choose 50 years, 70 years, or 100 years. Of course you choose 50...but that means you're in jail for 50 years anyway.



I wish Lysk wasn't in jail. I'd miss her creativity posts.

Topic: yet another movie thread...
Subject: Iron Man


Almerin and I saw Iron Man a short time ago. It was good. Worth the watch. Had a nice flow, too.

uhh...lemme see....

Elizabeth (with a Z), as in the queen of England. Also a good film. I expected it to be too proper, but it wasn't like that at all. At one or two points you might get lost in the details of their foreign relations (especially if you can't hear or understand some of the words lol), but you'll get the jist (gist? gyst?). There is a part two, which we will rent eventually.

and there are some others, but i can't recall them at the moment.
