Yea majority suck, so not missing out on much

Ive refused to watch the new Freddy, heard terrible reviews on it

Guest Mon Jan 24, 2011 1:53 pm

I really wanted to see Paranormal Activity in the theater, that would have been entertaining with all the crowd reacting around me.

**gomez1012** Mon Jan 24, 2011 2:06 pm

I saw in theaters and hated it

Guest Fri Jan 28, 2011 3:51 pm

I like movies made before I was born (1977) alot more than movies made after I was born. Why? Because people like George Lucas and Spielberg ushered in an era of popcorn movies in the late 70s/early 80s. That was fine, but as time has gone on, more and more movies suck as they won't make anything anymore that involves an attention span.

In once upon a time in the west, Leone's 1968 masterpiece, the beginning has a 9-10 minute opening, where it is almost no talking, and just jack elam, wood strode, and another actor waiting for a train to arrive. Elam playing with a fly. Strode having water accumulate on top of his hat. A windmill creating a repeating creaking sound. Then Bronson finally appears and we are off. That kind of scene would not get made anymore. What audience is going to watch for almost 10 mins to see the movie begin.

Yes alot of older movies were corny, but alot were downright amazing.

I am not an expert on classic movies but do enjoy some of them, Lawerence Of Arabia is a fantastic movie, arguably one of the most beautiful visual films ever to grace the screen.

Lawrence of Arabia is an amazing flick. I usually watch that at least once a summer. The vastness of space you get when watching it is breathtaking.

But nothing beats sitting down on a saturday afternoon, pulling out Leone's Eastwood trilogy (commonly called Dollars trilogy), cooking up some Mexican food, drinking some whiskey, and wasting a day away.

I love how people drink Whiskey in westerns. They just turn the bottle up and down it. Afterwards, they don't cringe, shake their head or anything. I love Whiskey but damn it can bring the pain.

Saw The Deathly Hallows part 1 today, outside the first two movies it's probably the weakest of them, simply because it sags in the middle with the tent scenes. Not bad and not great but enjoyable if you like the series.

Sanctum 3d

Depressing movie, 3d didnt do much for me, it was ok

It's the film about the Roman legion that gets massacred in my native land, a few survive and they try to escape but are chased down by some crazy celts. It's got McNutly from The Wire in it.

I started watching it the other night and fell asleep. I need to try to watch that one again.

Oh I watched inception finally. I hated the ending. So was he asleep or not?

That's the thing we don't know, Nolan left it spinning to keep us guessing.

I watched The Goonies again yesterday, what a classic Smile

Was weird seeing Josh Brolin as a teen, he looked nothing like his adult self.
