watched "Welcome to the jungle" the other day on tv when i was sick at home, was alright, a lil bit corny. And also watched "Hotel Rwanda". A very sad true story, but was a great movie (Y)

Just to let the users know; if any of you guys want to look for a movie to watch then go to www.imdb.com. I think most of the people here know the site but for the people that don't know, its a really great site. Anyway if anyone wants to check out some movies which i prefer take a look here:

Just finished watching World Trade Center. Wasnt as bad as I thought it would be and I dont regret watching it. Not bad at all.

I also saw Pulse just because it started right as I came out of WTC. That was utter shite.

Went down to Orlando the other day and while there I watched Step Up. Not a bad movie either, it was kinda cool. I cant break-dance to save my life though...

Pulse was bad? I was thinking about checking that movie out... but was it really that bad? I mean, what was so bad about it (spoil if you want, I don't really care).

Dont know where to start. The acting was bad, the story wasnt all that, the ending was blah, there was a jump here and there but nothing to write home about. It just wasnt very well done.

I just watched 16 Blocks on Pay-Per-View ... starring Bruce Willis and Mos Def. It was a pretty good movie.

I purchased my ticket to Pulse, but when i saw the theatre empty so i went to Miami Vice. Many people have been bashing the movie because it didn't deliver much action as other Mann movies like Collateral. I got to say that the movie was pretty much what i expected, a good 7/10. (Y)

I watched the cantonese version, it wasn't that bad. Then again, U.S. remakes of foriegn films don't tend to go very far.

And vice versa.

The Japanese version of the Grudge makes me shudder, as in "it sucks" shudder.

:lol: YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIT! the best part about the scene was the end where the hot chick was just grabbing shitloads (pun very well intended) of toilet paper. for those of you who haven't seen harold and kumar, this is the scene i'm talking about:

Just saw Accepted and Snakes on a Plane. As far as Snakes goes I only watched it because it was right there when I got out of Accepted. It wasnt all that bad and I got a good laugh out of it. I dont fully regret watching it as it was somewhat OKish. I enjoyed Accepted although when it initially started I thought it would be horrible. Was predictable but hey, many movies nowadays are. Again, I enjoyed it.

A sequel to "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" is currently in production. It's called "Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam". I'm definitely going to see it.

I saw Accepted in the theatres just a few days ago. It was so-so. There were some funny parts, but it was so unrealistic despite them trying to make it realistic as possible. I like how they point out the cons of college and the message of the movie, but otherwise, it was so-so.

I think Accepted is just that kind of movie where you're supposed to laugh and not think. I mean, who thinks about whether they mention the pros or cons of college? :razz:

I saw A History of Violence tonight ... it seemed kind of short and lacked content. I liked it, but I think they probably could have fit the entire plot into about 45 minutes. The unexpected female frontal nudity shot was nice, and surprising - they're doing it on the stairs (ouch?), then he's sitting on her bed, she comes out of the bathroom, and whoa, nice. It had a weird plot though. Here's a question: do you like movies where the plot seems short, or where the plot seems longer?

That movie is fucking awesome to watch it with your friends in the middle of the night with beer in your hands.

Rosenberg: I think Kumar's a "faygele".
Goldstein: Oh, they're totally gay for each other.
Rosenberg: Hey, you wanna suck on this?
Goldstein: Uh-huh. Mmm.


Officer Palumbo: Bullets - my only weakness! How did you know?


Clarissa: Damn! You sank my battleshit!
