Movie Thread

just watched sling blade, mm hmm.

I love that movie.

At times it can be really funny. "funny HA HA", not "funny queer".

I watched Syriana last night for probably the 20th time. It has a little bit of a liberal push to it but what Hollywood movie doesn't...especially with Damon and Clooney. Anyway, if you like middle eastern foreign policy and are up for a good thinking movie (you really have to pay attention) you will like this. It's about oil, kings, radical Islam, DOD, State and CIA stuff. Very well done.

Well, I went in there in the house, and I hit Jesse Dixon upside the head with. Knocked him off my mother. Mm. I reckon that didn't quite satisfy me. So I hit him again with it in the neck with the sharp edge, just plum near cut his head off. Mm-hmm. Killed him.

Ogen - I've owned Syriana since just after it came out on DVD and still have yet to watch it. I guess I'll have to check it out.

I am pretty sure i've mentioned this here before, but if you enjoyed Syriana you'll enjoy The Kingdom. Much better than I was expecting.

We Three Kings is another Clooney movie in the middle east, set after the first gulf war... been a long time since I've seen it.

I really enjoyed Syriana, but it is a bit hard to follow the first time through

I really enjoyed The Kingdom, was not what i was expecting.
Three Kings was so-so to me.

Another Middle East / War Type movie that I just could not get into was The Hurt Locker, really disliked that movie.

Haven't seen The Kingdom or Syriana yet. Three kings was ok, but I did enjoy The Hurt Locker. I don't think it was the best picture of the year though. Crazy Heart should have taken that IMO

Yeah I have the Kingdom as well and I really like it too. Three Kings is pretty good for being made a little while ago. I liked it, good mix of comedy and action.
