The scene in Clerks II when Jay does the Buffalo Bill dance, is quite possibly the funniest scene in all movies this year.

Hey! I'm not retarded! I thought the movie was hilarious. But then again, I also laugh at retarded shit all the time. You either love it or hate it.

I went to go see that shit tonight. The way they showed the preview of the movie made it seem like the entire movie was going to be about streetball. The movie did send out a good message to younger kids though by saying education before basketball, but you have to watch it to understand what I'm talking about. The movie was pretty low budget though, they could've kept that to themselves.

I saw 'Catch' (or 'Guoshi Wushuang') last night. I didn't expect much off it before I started watching it, but even during the opening credits, it was positively surprised. It's a great comedy/action movie about the best con artist of all time, who is rumoured to make a 'comeback', and follows the police (that are trying to figure out who he really is and catch him) and another group of con artists' (who are attempting to impress him enough so that they might get to work with him for his big heist)... Well, it's better than I make it sound, I'm sure. :wink: 8/10

I also saw 'Serenity' a few days ago, which is also quite cool. It is, in many aspects, very similar to Æon Flux. But although it is cool, it is not nearly as well produced as it could have been, nor does it manage to bring up any good questions such as Æon Flux did. Chances are you won't like it, but it you really enjoyed Æon Flux, you'll enjoy this. 6/10

that and the reference to Lord of the Rings as "2 guys walking to a volcano" :P . Clerks 2 wasn't outrageously hilarious , or extremely funny , but it was decent.

That's enough of a reason for me not to see it :lol: .

Is that the 'Would you fuck me...? Then fuck me. Fuck me hard.' scene? That was awesome :lol:. I also loved the the whole porch monkey thing and the interspecies erotica incident.

Am I the only or is the guy playing Dante really a bad, bad actor?

Decide to go on a movie watching spree so I have a list. So far on it I have watched V for Vendetta (finally) which I must say was better than I thought it would be. Also, I watched Seom ("The Isle) by Ki-duk Kim (I have a few more of his to watch).

I'll post the hit list later.


edit: Wow, I just watched Bin-jip (also known as "3-iron" and I must say it is the most beautiful film I have watched in a while. Amazing, words cannot express the impact it had on me. Not everyone may feel the same after watching it but trust me, its a good one. Fro the same director Ki-duk Kim. I have only watched this and The Isle so far (which was ok but not all that) but this one far blows it away. This one was also the one more people said was good too.

Watched V for Vendetta on DVD and I got to say it's one of my favorites of all time, mainly because of the concept and genre that I really appreciate. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are great actors, and I just can't get enough of the parallels with Orwell's 1984.

The last movie I was was Little Miss Sunshine, which I found quite funny and very enjoyable. I recommend it to most people, especially the older crowd here. (Y)

Has anyone ever seen Breakfast Club? I love John Hughes' 80's films (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Vacation,...) and this one is right up with the rest of them.

Also saw Revenge of the Nerds. A bit dissapointed, though, I expected a lot more originality.

If you guys like mystery movies like Donnie Darko or The Machinist, you guys should definitely check out "Identity". The movie is very underrated, I never heard of that movie a lot. The plot and actors in the movie are all great, i give it Two Thumbs Up (Y)(Y)
