Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything

So what do you think of “Superman Returns”? I liked it somewhat. It was pretty good, but some parts of it were scary, like when Lex Luthor put his plan (which was NOT world domination) into operation. At that point, I wanted to leave!

That’s strange, it says there are eleven posts but I only see seven. Oh, well. Back to movies. I saw one from the library called Russian Ark and it was quite possibly the strangest movie I’ve ever seen. I didn’t understand much of it while I was watching, but it was entertaining anyway and if you like truly bizarre movies I’d definitely reccommend it. I haven’t seen Superman Returns yet; I’m hoping it’ll come to the drive-in theater soon because that’s the best place to see movies in summer.

Has anyone seen a warner bros movie called Duma? It’s about a kid who lives in south Africa and finds a cheetah on the road. He adopts it, but then has to get it back to its home. I won’t go into more detail so I don’t spoil, but it’s a really really good movie

Oh, Oh, is Russian Ark the one that’s shot in a single camera shot with all the Russian nobility?
I saw an add for that once when I was little and thought it looked kind of cool.

Princess Bride is a classic, not a movie for five year old girls. Really, it’s such an amazing movie.

As long as TV series are allowed, I’d suggest several. One of my favourites is Cirque du Soliel: Fire Within, which is like a documentary/reality show about a few of the performers in the show ‘Varekai’ and how they trained. It doesn’t play anymore, so you have to get it on DVD.
Coming soon; I’m seeing the Cirque show Corteo because it’s in Chicago. Expect a review.

I love Princess Bride! We watched it during our water breaks in fencing class.

19- It’s a cult classic!
Another amazing movie is [I think I’ve mentioned it before] The Blues Brothers. It’s a musical made in 1980. With tons of really cool musicians. Explicit language, but very funny. And a huge car-crash scene. Like, they drove through a mall. Oh, and another [olde-ish] amazing comedy is The History of the World, Part I. There’s no part two, mind you. It just mangles history. For example, ancient humans invent music by dropping rocks on each other’s feet. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this one….it’s an ancient comedy…Arsenic and Old Lace. It’s about two crazy olde ladies who kill people with arsenic. There is also a character who is convinced that he is Roosevelt. It’s great. And B&W.

The 3 greatest movies I’ve ever seen, are:
1.LOTR 3- The Return of the King
The first LOTR movie I ever saw, was The Two Towers. I saw it in theaters before I saw The Fellowship of the Ring, so it made no sense to me. And it was rather boring in my opinion. The special edition version was a lot better though. ANyway, I went to see LOTR 3, and I admit I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. But once the movie was well on its way, it was the coolest thing I’d seen in a long time. Really emotional, and exciting, and scary, and sweet, all at the same time.
This movie is rated PG13
2. Double Jeopardy.
Spoiler Warning!
Double Jeopardy is the story of a woman named Libby Parsons, who seems to have a pretty spiffy life. She has a loving husband (named Nick) and a sweet young son (named Matty). Nick buys Libby a lovely sailboat, and the go off onto the water. They spend, what appears to be a perfectly romantic night on the water. But then, early the next morning, Libby wakes up, and discovers a gruesome trail of blood. She goes out on deck, and stupidly picks up a knife, lying on the deck. Before you can say fingerprints, the coast gaurd arrives. They conclude that Nick is dead. Libby is obviously upset. But then, Libby’s attorney shows up, and informs her that she is being charged with the murder of her husband. About 3 months or so into her time in prison, she recieves a call from her best freind, Angie. Angie puts Matty on the phone, and then Nick walks into the room. Matty calls out to him, and Libby realizes what’s going on. A fellow inmate tells her about the double jeopardy system. When she gets out, she can track Nick down and kill him. And no one can do anything about it. Libby waits six years, and then is let out on parolle. Her parolle officer, is a crabby guy by the name of Travis Lamen. Libby sneaks away from Travis one night, to find special documents that will help her find her son. Some cops show up, and chase Libby down. Travis attempts to take her back to prison on a ferry. But when he leaves to go get a cup of coffee, Libby drives the car off the boat, into the water. Travis, who had handcuffed Libby to the car doorhandle earlier, jumps in after her. He uncuffs her, underwater, and Libby steals his gun. She heads across the country, looking for her good for nothing ex. Eventually she tracks him down at a bachelor party. Nick, it turns out, has murdered Angie, for reasons related to money. He then lures Libby to a cemetary, and knocks her unconcious. He throws her into a coffin, placed in an above ground grave, and locks it up. Libby wakes up, and after a small bout of whimpering (you would too if you woke up next to a dead person) uses Travis’s gun to shoot her way free. Travis, by this point, believes that Libby did not kill her husband. He decides to help Libby get a more civil revenge, and send Nick to prison. But then, he makes the mistake of turning his back on Nick. Nick proceeds to pull out his own gun, and shoot Travis in the shoulder. Libby ducks behind the couch, as Nick shoots up the room. Nick walks around to the back of the couch, and aims his gun at Libby. Just as he’s about to fire, Travis jumps him, and the two struggle madly. Nick overpowers Travis, and manages to grab the gun. He stands up. His back to a mirror. He aims the gun at Travis, who is lying on the floor. Suddenly, a terrific shot rings out, and Nick gets a surprised look on his face. Another shot rings out, and Nick slides to the floor, leaving a trail of blood on the mirror. Libby can be seen in the mirror, holding Travis’s gun. Libby is excused, and Travis takes her to Matty’s new school, where she is reunited with her son. The last image before the credits, depicts Libby and Matty hugging.
This movie is rated R
3. Hotel Rwanda
This is my most favorite movie about true life bravery. It is the story of how Paul Rusesabagina, sheltered 1,200 Tutsis, during the bloody Rwandan Genocide. I’m not going to go into detail about the reasons for the genocide, but let’s just say it was stupid and disgusting. While the ethinic group known as the Hutus, was busy murdering Tutsis by the thousands, Paul and his partner, Tatiana, and their kids, used their four star hotel, to shelter as many Tutis as they could. This film marks the best, and worst, of human behavior. There are scenes that are unimaginalby gruesome, including a scene in which Paul and a member of the hotel staff, are driving along a misty road, and encounter a horrid trail of dead bodies, which streatches on as far as the eye can see. But there are also scens depicting acts of great bravery and selflesness. Happily, none of the refugees under Paul and Tatiana’s protection, are slaughtered. They escape to safer grounds, at the very end of the movie. This movie is very good, but very violent. I would not recomend it for someone with a weak stomach. It’s not super gory, but there are many imagfes depicting dead bodies.
This movie is rated PG13 (it should have been R)
So those are my favorites.
Runner Ups:
1. Pirates of the Caribbean- The Curse of the Black Pearl
2. Highlander-Endgame
3. Shrek/Shrek 2

Favorite Movies?
House of Flying Daggers – such a gorgeous movie. The plot’s a little weak in places, but it’s so beautiful that it doesn’t matter. The cinematography, costumes and sets are exquisite, but not over the top. Much stronger than most typical martial-arts films.
The Sting – classic gangster movie. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are wonderful and the storyline is exciting.
The Count of Monte Cristo (most recent version) – complicated revenge movie. The book is fabulous too, although probably more complicated and long than some people can stand. I love how everything falls together in the end.
Syriana – lots of people didn’t like this movie, and I can see why, but the movie did a good job capturing all sides of an issue, which is difficult to do in a non-offensive way given recent events. Maybe it’s a little bit preachy, but it definitely gives food for thought. (R for good reason (subject matter and violence))
Moulin Rouge – If you don’t like musicals, romance, or Ewan McGregor, you won’t like this film. It’s maybe a little bit cheesy, but I love it anyways, just because it’s so much fun. Naughty can-can dancers and love elephants galore!
I’ll end the list there, for now anyway.

I saw House of Flying Daggers, too. I thought the plot needed reworking in some areas, and it was hard to understand, but, like Zallie said, amazing costumes, art direction, and sets. My favourite is in the end, when these two dudes are in the middle of this huge, beautiful grassy meadow, fighting, and suddenly, it just starts to snow. It’s so surreal.
Also, Moulin Rouge. I’ll agree with Zal when she says it’s a little on the cheesy side, but what I really liked was the colour choices. For a lot of the movie, nearly everything is white, red, or black. It gives it this really loud, semi-gaudy kind of feel. And later on, in the Duke’s castle, everything is blue. The sharp contrast really makes that part cool. Crazily beautiful film.
The Wooster and Jeeves comedy series. Based on the books by P.G. Wodehouse, which are also a riot, this television show doesn’t give you a break to stop laughing. It’s got Hugh Laurie and Wooster and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, the butler.

This is really random but it sort-of has to deal with movies. So I was on Mugglenet earlier today and it mentioned a play called Equus that was being turned into a movie…um, go to the site for the details. But anyway, the point of this comment: it sounds so so so so incredibly CREEPY. Like, beyond creepy.
Okay, non-CREEPY part of post: any Hitchcock movie automatically pwns. Even though I laughed through The Birds… And any episode of the Twilight Zone. My personal favourite is the one with the olde lady and the flying saucer containing midgets.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail???!!!!!!!!!!
The HG2G movie was OK but I prefer the books.
I saw Akeelah and the Bee fairly recently. It was good except I would prefer more actual spelling of words and less drama.
Yes I am new, but I read a thread before I post. Pie me!

The New World
SPOILER WARNING
I watched “The New World” because of the article in Muse. It is a very slow moving plot, with a lot of Colin Farrel, excuse me, John Smith looking lovesick and staring into Pochahontas’ eyes. Halfway through the first part of the movie, my mom got bored and said very loudly “Do you think they’re going to make whoopie?” and later left, along with my sister. However, the movie has excellent cinimatography and almost no accedental modern things except for a bouy in a half-second shot at the beginning.
Pirates Of The Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest
SPOILER WARNING
Funny. Alot of rolling around in out of control round objects, like waterwheels and round cages made from human bones. Evil octopuses run rampant. A touch of Phantom of the Opera in Davy Jones’s organ playing. Elizabeth snogs Jack Sparrow passionately while Will watches. Norrington reappears. There is a fight scene serving only to give Jack a new hat. A bit on the eye candy-ish side, but excellent if you liked Pirates 1.
However, both the above mentioned films are highly inaccurate. Pirates were evil and greedy and–well– my ancestors. And I would be much prettier if any of them had looked like Jack Sparrow.
And John Smith and Pocahontas had no passionate love affair. Pocahontas threw herself on him and saved him. He was sure it was true love.

As long as you know you’re doing it, it’s not as bad. Now here’s Gary to devour your mortal soul. ♥
35 New World was sexay. And a good movie.
For everyone who says the new Pirates movies was stupid, remember that 1) it serves its purpose as a crowd pleaser, 2) IT WAS MADE BY DISNEY and 3) It was based off of a ride.
That, and Norrington was hawt at the end.
The two best movies ever in my opinion are Brokeback Mountain and The Conqueror of Shamballa.
Since everyone knows the basic premise of Brokeback, I’ll just talk about Shamballa~
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa (Original Japanese title: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Shanbara wo Iku Mono ) is the movie continuation of the WILDLY popular anime and manga series, Fullmetal Alchemist. I believe that the story line isn’t how the manga turns out, since it’s still going on, but here’s the set up anyway.
If you’ve studied more in depth about World War II, you’ll know that the Nazis were looking for a fabled type of world with a superior race. The movie uses that fact and incorperates it into the fact that the FMA world is a psudo-Europe anyway. The FMA world is thought to be Shamballa, and everything justs goes from there.
I was at the first official American showing of the movie, and it was probabaly one of the best experiences of my life.

Well, i’ve had lots of time to watch movies lately *groangroanDONTWANNABESICKsobsobsob* so…
Plan 9 from outer space
This one confused me. It looked really cheesy and dad kept telling me it was really good so i figured it must be a spoof of some kind. I guess it really wasn’t. All rather confusing. It was cheesy, incredibly so. After i figured out what was going on, i spent a lot of time laughing at the dialogue. V. funny. Only watch if you’re bored out of your mind though.
West side story
Ok, this was a re-watch. Well what can i say? good. duh. idk…go watch it. Not much to say.
Popeye
Also a re-watch. Hilarious movie. Definitely go watch. ♥ ♥
Hmm…
Fav movies-Princess bride (duh), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, POTC (1 was better than 2 but 2 is pretty good too. It’s probably not on my list of favs though, so just say 1), Robin Hood (errol flynn version), Zorro (again, cheesy old black+white version. i like old movies), Star Wars (the old ones are WAY better than the new ones, but RotS isn’t bad. if that’s what it’s called…), um, yeah that’s about it for absolute favs.
No point reviewing, just go watch them.
I’m about to go watch the Seven Samurai (of Museish fame). 3 hrs of Japanese w/english subtitles. Oy. Should be interesting…

One word:
TOMMY!
BEST MOVIE EVER!
Not really, but it is ridiculously awesome. Who doesn’t love seeing Elton John sing Pinball Wizard playing a keyboard attatched to a pinball machine wearing 6 foot tall red leather boots, rhinestone goggles and a pinball beanie?
NO ONE I tell you!\
I love The Who. *sighs dreamily*
If you have’t seen Tommy…. actually, I won’t tell you to go see it. You have to have a certain taste to like it. But I believe everyone should listen to the songs from it.
And to the The Who in general. Because the rock. So hard.

Hah. I’m back. I don’t watch movies much, but my three faves are probably (in the order i’m pretty sure they were made, because I like them all the same.)
Endless Summer- It’s just plain funny. ‘Nuff said. “And so, we stayed in their primitive little village, in their primitive little hotels…”
Princess Bride- I like watching Cary Elwes, even if it appears he can’t play anything less than Prince Charming gone a tad bit crazy. “So you mean i’ll put down my sword, you’ll put down your rock, and we’ll kill eachother like civilized people?
Robin Hood- Men in Tights- Same as for Princess Bride. What?!
“Oh, Robin. Promise you won’t go.”
“I promise you you won’t go.” *looks very proud of self like he’s so good at*

Brokeback Mountain, While rated R for an excellent reason, is a deep emotional story about (sob) true love. It is SO SAD.

I’d like to correct myself, it was Christian Bale, not David Wenham. Daisy is still the best person in the world though.
I just saw the movie Amelie yesterday, and I reccomend it for the 13-14 and up musers. Very witty and amusing, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I saw POTC2, and I have a few things to say:
Norrington is evilly hawt. I almost cheered when he and Will were rolling down the hill with the waterwheel. By the way, that was a pretty wicked cool sequence.
Davey Jones – well, like Zallie and I decided, we thought he was gonna be a hottie, but, as it turns out, he was just a weird, tentacle-ey dude. They overdid the tentacles in this movie, seriously. Giant kraken is enough, Davey-poo had to have weird, slimy facial hair? Cripes. Cool organ music, though.
What is with this Duke guy and why is he invading our movie?! Let me point out 2 things that make him a crappy villian: 1. He lacks an aura of evillness. I thought he was just Norrington’s henchman, until he said he was a Duke or whatever. 2. He’s not at all handsome! Come on! Villians = sex-ay. Look at The Secret Window. Look at Magneto (What? I LOVE Magneto!). Look at – ok, don’t look at Mothman. But you get my drift.

An Inconvienent Truth was VERY good. I’m thrilled someone is finally trying to get that out to people now. My dad saw it twice adn now he won’t shut up about global warming and his theories that rioting are going to start up around here. He’s got a plan to protect us from it and everything, including shot-guns from the second-floor windows. I swear, he’s gone mad. Anyway, WATCH AN INCONVIENT TRUTH. It’s a very good and it’ll make you think and maybe even take some action.
That’s the most recent film I’ve seen. And no, I haven’t seen the new Pirates of the Caribbean.
I really wanted to see Brokeback Mountain, but I forgot why I didn’t.
Oh. A NIGHT AT THE OPERA by the Marx Brothers is AWESOME!! Charlie Chaplin is a really good filmmaker, too.
Someday, one day, I’ll post my fav movies, films I wish to see, films I haven’t seen that might vex some people and movies that just sucked. But right now I have to get to work with my chores.
peace, luvs.
NONONONONONONO!!!!!!
I’m convinced that THIS IS SPINAL TAP is one of the GREATEST films EVER made!!!! (” I want LARGE bread!!) Christopher Guest is a master-mind!!!!!! Check out Tap and his other films; A Mighty Wind; Waiting for Guffman and Best In Show!!!!!!!!! Oh oh oh, and Comic Evangelists is also a BRILLIANT film. Crawlspace did a MAGNIFICANT job with their guest-esque creation. UHF is also wonderful, compliments to Weird Al. (“My mop!!!”) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is FANTASTIC to NO end!!!!!! I can’tbelieve how awesome that movie is….Of course, Monty Python is genius. A Fish Called wanda is awesome. Mars Attacks! is HILARIOUS and SOOO wodnerful!!! Evolution – though scientifically inaccurate – is hysterical!! And The Mask of Zorro is brilliant, too =)
Mel BROOKES, Christopher Guest and Monty Python are all AMAZING.
SPINAL TAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
layas. (ugh!! that closing annoys me!!)

I don’t even see why global warming is a political issue. Don’t people read the paper in the morning? Strange things are happeneing, and the only reason for it is global warming.
If you want t find out more though, search for it with Google until you find the movie website. It’s very informitive.

Ah, well. Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservitives, Independents, rich, poor, young, old, American, Canadians, French (and so on….); its all our problem. Do what you can, at least.
If you think Princess Bride is a cult classic, let me introduce you to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. THERE’S a cult classic. It’s a VERY good film, I love it a LOT!! But you might want to consult your parents before watching it. Not the most appropriate movie in the world (in only SOME parts), but sometimes considered a rite of passage. Its fun and amusing. I definately reccommend it. Tim Curry is absolutely brilliant for that part. The perfect Frank-n-Furter….Oh, and it;s not a horror flick. It’s a send up on horror and sci-fi B-movies.
COMIC EVANGELISTS IS COMING OUT ON DVD!!!!! I’M BUYING IT AND GETTING IT AUTOGRAPHED BY CRAWLSPACE ON SATURDAY!!!!!!!!=) Oh, I’m so happy!!

Oh, if you’re wondering what Comic Evangelists is, its a mockumentary by a local improv troupe, Crawlspace Eviction. Search it, I’m sure you’ll find results either under the name of the film, Crawlspace Eviction, or The Blanket Statement. Unfortunately, it hasn’t gone BIG yet, but we’re hoping they’ll go to a film fest of some sort and maybe get it noticed a bit more.

OK, another one you might want to consult your gaurdians on: V for Vendetta. [though this time for voilence]. It would try to explain it, but it would be hard to. The closest I could come is: its a futuristic revolution in Britain led by a man who no-one knows….If he is a hero or madman, liberator or oppressor and why he’s committing all these deeds. Google it or something, because I keep trying to explain it but I just can’t. Just take my word for it – its a wonderful movie.
Donnie Darko is another one I really like that would take forever for me to explain. Again, Google it. If I had more time I would try to explain them both more. YOu kind of have to watch them to really appreciate them anyway, and to understand them.

‘The Philadelphia Story’-Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart. A Philadelphia socialite (Hepburn) remarries, but her plans are thwarted by her ex-husband (Grant) and a wisecracking, poetic reporter (Stewart). I love this movie. It’s amazing, and funny, and very 40s, and the clothes are beautiful. My favorite scene is the drunken Macaulay Connor (Stewart) confronting C.K. Dexter Haven (Grant) in his mansion.
Connor: Are you still in love with her? You may consider that a very personal question.
Haven: Not at all,I-
Connor: Liz thinks you are, Liz thinks you all. But women always like to romanticize (hic).
Haven: Yes, they do, don’t they?
Connor: Yes they do don’t they. I wonder if I may have another drink?
Haven: Certainly.
Connor: My book! (Seizes it from bookshelf.) You have unexpected dep-(hic)depth, C.K. Dexter Haven. But have you read it?
Haven: I was trying to stop drinking. I read anything.
Connor: And did you stop drinking?
Haven: Yes, but it wasn’t your book that did it.
Other lines:
Mother, how does one get smallpox?-Dinah
“They couldn’t pay me to live here.” ‘Don’t worry, they won’t.”
OTHER MOVIES YOU SHOULD WATCH:
Seven Samurai: Awesome. A few wandering masterless samurai are hired to defend a village from bandits.
Oni Yaga: Creepy horror movie. But cool. A woman and her widowed daughter-in-law rob a battlefield and are haunted by the ghost of a prince whose things they took.
Desk Set: Another Katharine Hepburn: a superb movie with 1950s geeks and snappy banter.

I wanna see the original Wicker Man. Apparently its full of paganism and creepy stuff. Awesome.
And american movies are overrated. In both senses. By being considered better than they are and by setting the age barrier too high. If someone doesn’t want to watch a movie, they shouldn’t watch it. If someone wants to watch something that’s out of their age level, they’re not going to just say “oh well, I can’t watch it, I’m too young” they’re going to get it some other way. Borrowing it, downloading it…

I love Katherine Hepburn. Such a good actress….I loved The African Queen and The Philidelphia Story. Dinah was awesome!! I loved the “inundos” (innuendos).
I would like to see some GOOD film version of MacBeth. Is there such a thing?…
Ah, yes! What I came here for! Crawlspace Eviction got into the American Film Fest this November for Comic Evangelists!! Apparently, they don’t take many comedies, so just getting invited is an honour!! But if it turns big (it just might. Hotel Rwanda and Walk the Line got their start at AFI.)…It would be REALLY cool to have that in our local history and most of them being my friends, that’s even cooler! But if they become famous….They’d have to move away….And I would cry until the ends of the Earth. But they would have to come back, to hang out with and say Hello to their friends and ORIGINAL fans!! Because Crawlspace is just an AWESOME improv troupe (I’m convinced they’re the greatest in history!) in general, they have to come back to their starting point to preform, anyway. And they’re all such nice people, so sweet and nice….How I love Crawlspace Eviction…*sighs dreamily*

would you like to know the most boring movie the word? You’ve Got Mail. I was soooooo bored during it that i almost fell asleep. seriously, it was so SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, what is the big deal with Titanic, anyway? isn’t it just depressing? although “My Heart Will Go On” is a pretty wicked song.
also, worst King Arthur movie ever = Excalibur. it is rated R and it is very bad and everyone looks the same except for lancelot and mordred because they are both blond (WRONG SO WRONG) and everyoneelse has dark hair and a jesus beard thing. also it is very violent and guinevere is UUU-GLEY!!!!!
