Movies! Movies! Movies! (Non-Japanese)

finished all three Bourne movies.

really really good. the most realistic action movie i've ever seen. definitely better than the Mission Impossible movies i've seen.

i think Ultimatum was the best. i give it an overall 9/10. for everything. directing, action, story etc. It had more twists, and it had more focus on the bad guys. I thought it was really smart. For Supremacy i'd give it the same score as the first one.

IMO, the two first Bourne, Identity and Supremacy should only be one movie. it definitely felt like one. there barely was any deep plots. Just revealing bits of things and beating up (or killing) people here and there. but yeah, there'd too many places to visit in one movie so they made it two, or, it was just following the book? (if it was based on one, i don't know)

i'm not really into the crowded gun scenes and car chases. but i love it when it's one on one and when he's being tailed. i love the particular

window scene at his apartment in Identity

man i wish i had popcorn and chocolates when i watched these three movies :shamefulcry: it's one of those movies worth gaining weight for :hehe:

Took in two (much) older, albeit non-Christmas movies: The Pirate and Singin' in the Rain... Gene Kelly musicals are the best... :victory:

It's been a while i don't watch any movie after Transformers.. and
currently i'm watching Golden Compass for 2 times!! it's been a record
for myself because it is the first time i watch the same movie in theater
twice.. first with my friend and second time with my sisters.. :mrgreen:

Well, if you ask me, i wont regret it because it's really an interesting story
for a fantasy-movie-lover like me. :victory: Nice choices of casts, nice
effects and i really like the lead girl. She portrays her role very well..

as well with the bears... :hehe:

Watched the classic 1951 version of A Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim.

I saw "Stardust" on DVD yesterday.

I figured, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Alexander, Sienna Miller, and Peter O'Toole ... in a movie directed by the same guy who did "Lock Stock & Two Broken Barrels" and "Snatch" ... you couldn't go wrong.

They did.

What a bore.

Different with me here, I like Stardust very much. I watch it 3 times, two in cinemas and one at home. I think this movie is such a very good fantasy movie and Robert De Niro very perfect as Captain Shakespeare. Claire Danes also did a good job as Yvaine and she such a beautiful star :mrgreen:

Not when it comes to movies... The cost of the movies themselves is well over $100M... :sweat:

It seems a lot more cartoonish than I thought it would be for a movie from the Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix series)...

The only big name Japanese actor in the movie is Sanada Hiroyuki (Twilight Samurai)...

This is why I'm not in charge of picking which movies people are allowed to see.

That's why I'm excited to see it, because of the Asian stars who are in it (one of whom is my neighbor. Woot!). I'm not really a big fan of Emile Hersh but it looks exciting. :woot:
