I saw Chock Dee, which is based on a true story. The main actor plays himself. He is a Thaibox fighter. That is all I say this time... you have to see it. It's a good story.

I saw most part of a film called Supernova. I read Mathew Perry was playing in it so I thought maybe it was good...But, no.
This movie looks like it was made especially to come out on DVD only. It's over 2,5 hours long, and in the end there's no supernova! The first screen tricked me into watching this.
It had so many useless moments... Why should the viewer care if a killer is about to kill someone from the protagonists when the world will end in some hours?(That's something that didn't happen in the end...)
In a few words, I'm mad.

Just saw Citizen Kane by George Welles, bloody excellent movie, the best narrative and transitions I've seen in quite some time, plus the storyline is genious.

That's good movie, but the original one is faaaar better (though the actors, music and King Kong -creature are much better in new version)...

I'm tired to watch movies with huge special effects which are made by computer.
I love the old effects (especially in old action and sci-fi movies) from 70's, 80's and early 90's were much better and they even looked much more realistic.

I have just watched Crash. A little melodramatic, and some parts were really fucked up, but overall was... ok.

I think that is a tv series instead of a movie...since it's on ABC every Monday night.

I watched The Island, pretty good, I like it. It brings back momries of the book 1984. And I'm watching The Ten Commamendts...

Last night on ABC, I saw PartI of the New version of, "The 10 Commandments".
It was good, but nowhere near as majestic as the original version with Charleston Heston--which comes on Saturday Night! :) Egypt-lovers, take Note! ;)

I will watch Part2 tonight--I will get in just in time! :)

Oh yeah, they are showing "The 10 Commandments" here as well. But yes, you guessed it, there's no way I'm going to watch it.

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie or Amélie from Montmartre in english). Great movie !
I hadn't been to a movie theater since end of 2003, and glad for that. Theaters suck.

Agree, the original it's way more epic than this one.
And something that I find intresting is that in the shields that they were using had the eye of Horus right in the middle. And Horus was an Egyptian God. :lol:

Moses's wife is beautiful. :D

Absolutely amazing movie.

I've seen Brothers Grimm yesterday. As much as I love Terry Gilliam's work - this movie is average, looks like someone was trying to mimick Tim Burton ...

On the contrary I thought it would be great but turned out a complete rubbish. IMO, of course. :)

I watched Michael Moore's great document "Bowling for Columbine". Very good, but not as funny as Fahrenheit 9/11.
(Yeah these movies are about serious & sad topics and things but Moore still can make anything kind of funny :) )

Today I watched "Irreversible" and "Trainspotting". Yes, it was the first time I watched Trainspotting, and I was surprised to see the guy who played Lucius Vorenus in the miniseries "Rome". :D The actor looked very different in his role of Tommy.

I've just seen the movie that Stealth sent to me. It is "The Son Of The Bride". It's Argentinean movie. Oh God, I was laughing and crying watching it... What a great movie! One of the best I have ever seen :P
