Thanks to this post, I requested this as my next Netflix movie. Incredible movie!! One of the many things I liked about it was it's use of animating the subtitle words across the screen. That was just a little thing, but it was so effective. You're right, the camera work and camera angles used were very impressive. Great scenes, great cinemaphotography of Mexico City, great flick!Man On Fire
Absolutely phenominal movie. Story has been done a thousand times...girl is kidnapped, man goes on a rampage to get her back. But this time the story is extremely well done. The camera work is exceptional...lots of quick flashbacks add a lot to the effectiveness of the scene being shown. Dakota Fanning was amazing as the kidnapped girl. And I got a great sense of gratification after seeing each of those responsible getting mowed down.
One of the best movies I have seen so far this year. Well worth the rent.

I know there's no incentive to re-watch a film that you didn't like the first time. But I think Magnolia is better the third time than it is the first time. I think that film is full of some amazing acting.I thought the opposite.Magnolia - Bottom 10.... after the genius of Boogie Nights I was very dissapointed in this movieI liked both, although Lost In Translation didn't live up to the hype for me.Did you guys like Lost In Translation and Being John Malkovich too?I'm betting yes to both.Ditto.Me, too.The Irish kid was hilarious, and the play at the end, for example.I loved Magnolia, too.Name some funny parts.Finally saw Rushmore (old movie).
I was amazed how bad it was. An unlikeable lead followed by completely unbelievable situations at every turn. Laughed once the whole movie. Another critics movie.
That movie is hilarity throughout. No fart jokes, though.
This must be one of those love it or hate it movies like Magnolia (which is on my Top 10 Worst of All Time lists).
Lost In Translation... Loved It
Being John Malkovich...... Meh... it was alright but not what I expected...
Rushmore...... good... but I can understand people not liking it. The main character isn't very likable and the plot is a little suspect.
You know, the only problem I had with Being John Malkovich and Adaptation is I thought they both had weak endings. I thought both films were about 66% of a great film with weak final acts.Yeah, love that movie.I also think it's great how differently everyone ranks the Wes Anderson films.
I think that we should be on a movie review show together. We'd be entertaining because we would probably fight over every movie!Did you guys like Lost In Translation and Being John Malkovich too?I'm betting yes to both.Ditto.Me, too.The Irish kid was hilarious, and the play at the end, for example.I loved Magnolia, too.Name some funny parts.Finally saw Rushmore (old movie).

I hated BJ Malkovich and thought Lost In Translation was below average and obscenely overrated. You guys would probably hate my favorite movies like Excalibur, Dawn Of The Dead (original) and Somewhere In Time.
Isn't every big movie obscenely overrated? And Excalibur is tha shiznit.I think that we should be on a movie review show together.

You're right... some notable movies that I really enjoy that I disliked on first viewing include Unbreakable and Heat.

Great movie.
With all art, I think there's an initial, gut reaction that is sometimes offputting. If you can give the art another shot, sometimes you find yourself in a better place. The shock has worn off, and you're able to better analyze the art. In the case of Magnolia, there's a very bizarre scene I won't give away to people. It's a scene that many people hate. But for me, it was a symbol for how sick and diseased these people are. Thus, the plague metaphor.

I'll talk to some of my connections in the TV biz. Get the pitch ready.
Returns or Begins?
I'm gettting it today.....Green Street Hooligans- FBG's rent this now!
It is about the soccer hooligans in England, and how each team has a firm (like a gang) that fights the other teams firms. Interesting look inside profesional soccer, and it's die hard fans. A bunch of cool fights, but the lingo was hard to pick up on sometimes. I don't think Elija Wood was the best guy for the role either, I just can't seriously picture him being tuff.
I have mixed feelings on this one. I thought the overall premise was good but it was really dumb how it was executed. He needs to get money to save the fingers of a guy he hired? That was stupid. The love interest angle? That was dumb. I thought it was really weak they they made this movie about disabled kids but only used two challeneged actors in the main group he was hanging out in. The "real" actors they got to play Olympian roles were insulting. They should have made Knoxvilles character a real scumbag ( kind of like Matt Dillon's character in Something ABout Mary) who is only initally there to make money but sees the light on how hard these people work to achieve their goals. Either that or they should have made the rival athletic guy ( the black guy) a ringer himself and had the bulk of the movie being this comedic rivalry in which both guys try to out each other.
I just finished this and thought it was a very well done movie. I was a little skeptical about Wood in this role.... but he wasn't that bad. Definitely worth a rental.I'm gettting it today.....Green Street Hooligans- FBG's rent this now!

was your sense of humor surgically removed when you were a child?
caught Munich over the weekend. my gf fell asleep during the show too.. i kept watching.beware - this movie is about 150 minutes long. i wasn't expecting that.
I love comedies. It was never funny. Just lame.Finally saw Rushmore (old movie).

Bill Murray at his finest.
He had a great role in Black Hawk Down. Nailed that. He's good.
Bana was outstanding. Good film
I saw this this weekend as well.I saw Underworld in the theaters, forgot most of the story. Really felt like I needed a refresher on that one to figure out what was going on in this one.
run, don't walk, to rent Chopper.he's awesome in it.
Added to Netflix.
I need to see this. Heard nothing but good things.
House Of Wax didn't suck.when Paris Hilton is the 3rd cast member listed in a movie, it's probably a good idea to avoid itI somehow started watching a movie called The Hillz on cable last night. Stay away at all costs, horrible(almost laughable) acting and a story(if you can call it that ) from hell.
Agreed. I saw it on the movie channel and I enjoyed it. I think both the Alien franchise and the Predator franchise were portrayed honestly and well.Alien Vs. Predator: Unrated Cut
Added some more gore. I seriously do not understand what fans of the Alien & Predator series didn't like about this movie. I think it's fun and action filled.
