What is the latest good film you watched ?

The Resident Evil Trilogy. :thumbsup:

Does anyone know if there's going to be any more?

They kind of ended it with that option open.
 
Plan on renting Batman Begins and the new animated flick to prepare for The Dark Knight. Saw Deep Blue Sea for the umpteenth time, oddly enjoyable, gotta love the Sam Jackson getting eaten.:rofl: Watched the first Mummy movie got bored by the end but the mummys lady was very hot, she had an ass like POW! Cants get over, how fine she was. Shoot I woulda fucked her too behind the pharaoh's back.:thumbsup:
 
A movie about the rise to power of Genghis Khan in Mongolia called "Mongol." It's in Mongolian, but subtitled in English. Some Russian guy directed it. It's unbelievably good. Great epic battle scenes, fantastic depiction of the culture of Mongolians in those days, great acting, very impressive. I highly recommend it to anyone, no matter what type of movies you like, it's great.
 
Comic Movie Marathon:
Batman Begins & Batman: Gotham Knight
Well I'm off to see you know what.:wave2:

Would ya look at that, seems that great minds do think alike. Earlier today I spent about $70 to get the special edition of both of those flicks, wearing my Batman shirt and Batman Chuck Taylors I started to prepare.
 
Iron Man and Upload :nanner:(yes, actually watched this as a straight up sci-fi flick, actually metes out a better plot than a lot of 'movies' on sci-fi channel right now:2 cents:).. any body recommend doing theater for Dark Knight vs. waiting for dvd/on demand release date?:dunno:
 
Comic Movie Marathon:
The Dark Knight
Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This movie was fucking awesome! Heath Ledger is now and forever my favorite Joker. He deserves an Academy Award for that wonderful performance. To watch the movie with a sold out crowd, with everyone clapping not just at the end but throughout the movie was great. Aaron Eckart was great as Harvey Dent/Two-Face. The Dark Knight and Iron Man are my favorite movies this year and The Dark Knight has now taken the number 1 spot on my list of favorite Batman movies. There are just not enough words out there to describe the awesomeness of this film.
 
"The Dark Knight"...I give it 3 stars. It's not the greatest movie ever, nor is it as good as "Batman Begins," imo, but it's worth a matinee showing. This has been a shitty movie summer so far. I had a couple of problems with TDK--I'll wait until others see it. My main criticism is Maggie Gyllenhall is completely miscast. I didn't believe she was the "object of affection" for Bruce Wayne OR Harvey Dent. She's a fine actress, just terribly miscast. Heath Ledger is excellent, worthy of an Oscar Nom for sure, not sure about him winning though. The climactic action scene is too confusing. It's almost incomprehensible. However, the opening of the film, greatest opening scene in a recent film that I can remember....fantastic opener!

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Okay you and I will have agree to disagree because this movie was the absolute best movie I've seen so far and I love Iron Man. This movie was just amazing from the opening scene to the end of the credits. The Dark Knight is my pick for movie of the year and when Batman 3 comes out I honestly don't know how it could top The Dark Knight. I love this movie. It was great, amazing, fantastic, exciting, top notch, awesome and outstanding. It deserves every bit of praise that it is getting and then some. Not only has this become my favorite Batman film of all time but it is now my favorite comic based film of all time. I give it 100 stars out of 10.
 
batman was good, but it was way over hyped. I was already sick of it before I had even seen it. My only complaint is that it could have been about an hour shorter. The movie resolves...and then has more shit happen and starts up again, about three times. it's LOTRs all over again (but at least you knew what to expect for that one) and I can't help but remember the words of one audience member, "when is this fucking movie going to end?"

I'm not sure what it is, because it wasn't the movie wholly, but I was real depressed after watching that.
 
I personally don't care how long a film is, as long as it's good and it holds my attention. The Dark Knight could of gone on all morning and I would've been right there watching every minute of it.
 
"Batman Begins" had a much more "simpler" story..there was more screen time with the characters. The story was topnotch. The "social message" in it--societal corruption, what is justice, is a person "good" if they do bad things (Ra's al Ghul?) in the name of opposing "evil"--the message was well communicated.

In TDK there is a "Society Norms" vs "Anarchy" message, there is a further examination of good versus evil--can a good person do evil things--can an evil person do "good" things--this stuff was fine, I just think I was getting beaten over the head a bit.

The action seemed a bit "monotonous" near the end because it seemed difficult to comprehend how The Joker could keep pulling off more and more complicated schemes...how could he plan these things let alone execute them flawlessly with, what, rejects from Archem Assylum?

I do think this will be the best movie of the summer. There's no doubt about that Darkwarrior. Hancock/Indiana Jones/Iron Man/The Hulk....meh. These are all moneygrabs and not high-reaching films. TDK at least tried to be a grandscale, masssive movie.

The story seemed to become a little out of control, I think that's my point. I do have a serious problem with Batman in this film, but I'll wait til other people see the film before I quiz people as to what they think about it...

There better be a 3rd film. I need to see what Chris Nolan would do to The Riddler (Jim Carrey practically destroyed this great villain) or Poison Ivy, or Bain??

I will say that Chris Nolan's "Batman" movies make Tim Burton's and Joel Schumacher's movies look like bloated, dated sadsack snorefests that don't "age" well....

It's laughable to compare Nicholsen's grinning, wuss Joker with this lunatic, maniac version that Heath Ledger pulled off....

I'm with you darkwarrior.I've already seen it twice and it was better the second time watching it.I agree 100% with what you said.I just can't understand how anyone would have anything to complain about this instant masterpiece.I'll give you the Maggie Gyllehall thing,titsrocks,because I think that she's one of the most unphotogenic actresses out there.Didn't like Katie Holmes either but they definitely went from bad to worse looking with the lead female.

Aside from that,this movie is perfect and absolutely,110% lives up to the hype.

And now the wait for Watchmen begins.And Terminator Salvation looks to have some real potential as well.
 
I just saw Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D & Rock and roll high school (same day)
 
And now the wait for Watchmen begins.And Terminator Salvation looks to have some real potential as well.

Watchmen looks real good and I have no doubt that Zach Snyder is going to do an excellent job. Terminator had me interested and I hope to see a full trailer rather than a teaser soon. Even The Spirit is starting to look better to me.
