The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)

[ToneDef]

No shit

First one was so great. I don't know why they keep making these. I'll probably end up seeing Saw V later on tonight, poor old me.

[defskull]

Yeah I hated Saw IV but somehow got sucked into Saw V

[theis]

i've hated every single saw movie.

Romero has talked about his new "Dead" film.  About tribalism and how the survivors split on their beliefs about finding a cure and leaving the dead unharmed or killing everything.  Said it will have a lot more action like Dawn of the Dead. 

i  didn't like diary at all so i hope this next one steps it up.

I'm too much of a fanboy, I can't help but worship Romero. I liked Diary quite a bit, even though I did find some issues with how realistic it was, but thought it was another good entry in the series.

Diary of the Dead actually freaked me out a little bit.  But I didn't like how they did the whole "Cloverfield" thing with the handcam.  The zombies looked pretty awesome and realistic though.

I saw Zombie Diaries tonight.  Now I haven't seen Diary of the Dead, but this concept has an incredible amount of potential.  Zombie Diaries wasn't the best you could do with the Blair Witch/Cloverfield style, but I think the concept is so great that it was still decent enough.

Transporter 3


Diarrhea indulging dialogue and plot, eyeball bleeding action scenes. Horrible. Just horrible.

[bright lights, big city]

Dance of the Dead. not the best movie, but i actually would recommend it to anyone who like zombies. Because it was definitely entertaining (and pretty funny for that matter)

[Penicks]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Pretty boring. I'd hit Luna and Cho though. And Ginny. And Hermoine.

never read the books or seen more than like 5 minutes of one of the movies (not sure which one) but emma watts is fucking hot.

Diary was actually written first but Cloverfield gets all of the credit since it was a mainstream release.

I really like Zombie Diaries.  Pretty bleak and a nice twist.

They are already working on a second as well so should be interesting.  I thought it was funny but needed to be a bit more crazy.

[devlin]

i haven't seen zombie diaries or dance of the dead. but i have heard good things about both not just from on here.

i didn't like diary of the dead at all. i thought the plot was dumb, the special effects were cheesey and the acting was about as bad as it gets. and i hate the handy cam view. blair witch was dumb, it was the worst part of cloverfield and it made this already bad movie that much worse. kinda harsh i guess but as far as romero's standards goes it was just terrible.

[theis]

just watched the Bourne trilogy.

awesome movies.

[bright lights, big city]

indeed. lookin' forward to the 4th

[devlin]

just watched hancock. i really enjoyed it. jason bateman really made the movie for me, i love his dry sarcastic comedy.  i think it bombed in the theater but putting another superhero movie out around the dark knight was not a good idea.

[dictatesofreason]

yeah it was good., bateman was good on smokin aces too

[devlin]

yeah it was good., bateman was good on smokin aces too

never saw that one. i own it, just haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

[lostpilot]

Seven Pounds.

wow. made me cry.
such a good drama.

[theis]

man, i think Seven Pounds looks awful... I hated the Pursuit of Happiness.
