I can second that, pretty good for some gunfights and explosions, if you liked the Transporter movies with him this will be right up your alleyQuote:

I just watched True Grit. Over all I liked the movie. I liked the way the characters spoke, but towards the end of the movie, it became kind of unbelievable. I want a bear skin coat now though.
News Flash: Go see Super 8! Just saw it last night and it really is a well made film. It's not what you think and there are some really intense moments of excitement and anticipation. J.J. Abrams (of Lost, Cloverfield and the new Star Trek fame) did a superb job, and had some help by Speilberg himself!
I didn't really want to see Super 8, but since it got a recommendation here, I think I'll check it out.
so because I watched surrogates I decided to check out gamer again.
surrogates is better.
Watched Braveheart for the first time tonight. It was only okay.
Okay at best. [Roll1]
At 2:20 there is some interesting info on Mel and William Wallace.

I didn't have an issue with whether it was true or not actually, because I don't know anything about it. It just could have been better. I found it extremely predictable.
On another note. Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness in Legend was such an awesome costume.
His costume in The Rocky Horror Picture Show was also interesting. :D
Touche!
Just saw the preview for this. Looks pretty funny IMO
watched a league of their own yesterday.
I like that film.
"it's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great"
"there's no crying in baseball"
So I just watched the Lincoln Lawyer last night starring Matthew McConeghy (sp?) and Ryan Phillippe, I recommend it! Really good and at times somewhat intense drama. Must see, just letting you guys know!
Just watched "The Exorcist" for the first time ever yesterday... I'm not impressed, it wasn't that scary... twisted, and a great movie, but not even close to being the scariest movie ever, I wouldn't even put it in my top 10 scariest list.
I watched Horrible Bosses yesterday, almost pissed myself. First time I've laughed that hard in a movie in a long time.
so lets hear your top ten scariest!Quote:

Not the biggest scary movie fan- hardly watch the new ones because modern horror is lacking in originality and good writing/direction (case in point: the Saw series and all these remakes of Japanese psychological horror movies).
Another good one I thought that just sent shivers up my spine was Pandorum. It was fresh and original.
Well, other than you not liking the Exorcist, you're ok in my book [Coffee]Quote:

I watched The Exorcist, as a kid, in the movie theater. Yeah, it was the scariest thing I had ever seen. Spent most of the time under the seat during The Blob.
Top 10
- Exorcist
- The Birds
- Jesus Camp
- The Blob
- Orphanage
- Jaws
- Evil Dead
- Hanna Montana, The Movie
- Arnold
- Kids
I watched the first Saw and wanted my two hours back. Dumbest movie evar. [Rant1]Quote:

This is, though, my number one...easy...
I think my brain is wired wrong then... Exorcist, mainly just a screwed up movie. Jaws, not really all that scary to me. For some reason all these movies people claim are so scary just were entertaining to me- Psycho, somewhat; Any ...of the dead films, pure fun, no scare; Saw series (considering I stopped after 2) just plain terrible, not scary. I'm also not really frightened by the serial killer movies (Jason, Freddy, etc.) But what did scare me was the scene in Case 39 involving hornets and Bradley Cooper- I'm very allergic to stinging insects.
The remake of The Ring scared the hell out of me for a few days, mainly because the pale, dark haired lady in my avatar thought it would be hilarious every morning to brush her hair over her face and wake me up by hissing "seven days" in my ear :DQuote:

Speaking of which, anyone seen the Fourth Kind?
Jaws.... Ya, that scared me, but in a different way than the normal undead horror movies. Jaws plays on real life shit, ya, mostly fantasy on how a shark acts, but still.... The first time I watched Jaws was on a boat off the coast of Florida when I was a little kid, bad bad bad idea.Quote:

Honestly, the scariest movie I've seen in a while was Star Wars Episode 2- Hayden Christiansen's terrible acting is f***ing scary! George Lucas sure knows how to make 'em these days.Quote:

With the lights on during mid-day? A friend of mine said he nearly hit his head on the ceiling watching the first Paranormal Activity from jumping out of his seat so damn much. Still haven't seen either, but as far as fear factor I hear they're up there, I just don't want to risk getting freaked out by a plotless film.Quote:

Paranormal Activity really freaked me out as well, but the entire experience was ruined by how incredibly stupid the movie was toward the end.
See, that sucks... Ghost or any kind of movie in that catagory just doesn't do anything for me. They are entertaining, but that is the extent of it.
I started watching Insidious last night, and for a stupid new horror movie, there were a few scenes that gave me the chills. So that was a welcome thing, because that doesn't happen much anymore...
Cowboys and Aliens- good flick. Don't go in thinking it's going to give you any insight into the aliens or their technology, it's not that kind of movie, just a fun mindless action that keeps you entertained throughout.
