[ QUOTE ] better than Pirates 2? Nope, not no how, not no way. [/ QUOTE ] Pirates 2 had good visuals, nothing else. 20 minutes of story thrown into a 2 hour movie with way over done "action" scenes which got boring after the first 2 minutes, but continued to repeat the exact same gags for the next 20 anyways. The first…
A remake as #2 spot? What has the world come to Seriously, as well made "The Departed" might be, remakes should never be on any top list, or only if they are *a lot* better than the original, which in this case is not true (the original is about as good I would say).
[ QUOTE ] - The Descent should be considered a new horror classic--here's hoping for more of the same. [/ QUOTE ] Um, what? I downloaded and watched this at your sole recomendation. While it was amusing, it was the typical hollywood jump out and scare you horror. Nothing new to see here, unless someone is so enamored with…
saw Nightwatch the other day. i'm still not sure if i liked it or not. i thought the underlying story was good but i'm not so sure about the execution. i agree with Lupus about the subtitles though. best use of subtitles i've seen in a movie.

You can.... attack my weak spots for massive damage (??) I can see how you could feel that way about Children of Men, but to me it just doesn't feel quite as much like…
Kovac: like I said, I'd put Brick higher if it weren't for the #1 and #2 spots. A very cool little film. Lupus: it's a shame that they seemed to have dumped the Night Watch release in the US with rather less pomp than they seemed to be gearing up for. It's kind of ponderous and very Russian (both good and bad), but I…
The Onion AV Club is having its second annual Film Poll, where you rate your top 5 films and just generally give your opinions about the films of the past year. Since I not only love movies, but am also a snob and a jerk, here is my response to that poll. The deadline for the film poll is February 2nd, so be sure to mail…
i did call it my pompous movie list of 2006, didn't i? honestly, i don't need any entreaties to stick with Pan's Labyrinth; i feel just about the same as when i came out of the theater, which is to say mostly undecided. it's definitely one of the better films by far of last year, and i think it will age quite well. there…
