Lycaon Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Serenity makes my list, as does King Kong. I enjoyed The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardarobe and Goblet of Fire, considering them for the list (I haven't seen a whole lot of 2005's movies). Haven't seen Crash yet, but it looks like we'll be watching it in a sociology class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Brokeback was my favorite! It's about Gay Cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I keep hearing so much about Crash. I thought it was a remake of J. G. Ballard's novel, so I started getting excited. ( No, I don't hang around airports waiting for car accidents, so I can get myself off over them.) Is it really worth watching then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Bob Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I keep hearing so much about Crash.I thought it was a remake of J. G. Ballard's novel, so I started getting excited. ( No, I don't hang around airports waiting for car accidents, so I can get myself off over them.) Is it really worth watching then? That Crash has already been made - back in '96. As a Cronenberg film, no less, with James Spader and Holly Hunter. This Crash is completely different and definitely worth watching. It's not everyone's cup o' tea, but definitely worth the watch. MM, Kingdom of Heaven? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IguanaDon? Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yeah, I heard about the '96 version, thats why I mentioned the ''remake'' I didn't catch it anyway ( Any good? ) This Crash sounds promising so I'll be sure to give it a go. Cheers SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Lindsay Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Everyone but La Lindsay seems to think so. damn skippy. if you're going to watch it, watch it for terrance howard. he gave a good performance and his character was more developed than the rest. i'm not saying that no one should watch this movie. i'm just saying that i don't get the hype the same way MM doesn't get the hype of brokeback. and i'm not the only one jax...read junker's review.

MusicManiac Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I agree with Ebert's review: For me, the strongest performance is by Matt Dillon, as the racist cop in anguish over his father. He makes an unnecessary traffic stop when he thinks he sees the black TV director and his light-skinned wife doing something they really shouldn't be doing at the same time they're driving. True enough, but he wouldn't have stopped a black couple or a white couple. He humiliates the woman with an invasive body search, while her husband is forced to stand by powerless, because the cops have the guns -- Dillon, and also an unseasoned rookie (Ryan Phillippe), who hates what he's seeing but has to back up his partner.

I was loving "Crash" all the way up to the ending. Stupid fucking ending. Heh, I couldn't tell ya, haven't seen it either. It's supposed to be pretty good if you don't mind the subject matter, an' obviously you don't. I caught the other "Crash" on HBO the other night. Good flick. Fucked up but good.

FireDownBelow Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Kingdom of Heaven: Good flick. Best? Eh, I wouldn't go that far. It, like so many psuedo-hostorical films, has lots of action only a tinge of plot. That, and being the history buff that I am, its inaccuracies are glaring. Out of ten, I'd give it a seven. Mi dos centavos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Cronenberg's Crash is fucking excellent. Now that is a movie with some balls. As for the recent film Crash, it is worth watching. I didn't like it, but it's not a terrible film, and lots of other people liked it. It beats renting Monster in Law, I just don't think it's a very compelling film.

KaraSwims Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 DEFINITELY Murderball:-) It is up for an Oscar And I agree with Crash too.....and Goblet of Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Murderball was most excellent. Watch it in a theater with two wheelers then as the movie's getting out, instead of talking about the movie, just watch as they give the other people in the theater thuggish intimidating scowls. Now that's what I call fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
