I know there are people who read here for movie reviews. :) You don't have to be verbose unless you like to talk. :) Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down would do too. Or maybe no one is going?

So many good movies this summer...anyone? anyone?

    i'll let ya know as soon as angels and demons comes out kat ;) i've been looking forward to this movie for a while, i read the book and loved it so hopefully i'll like the movie as well!
    the only things i've seen so far were x-men and fired up. both had so many cliche things (x-men had that slo-mo walking away from something that's about to blow up and does, fired up of course the whole two boys want to do a lot of chicks then one of them actually likes a girl but it somehow blows up in his face until the end when he redeems himself) but they were still entertaining. besides, anything with half naked (and sometimes all naked *drool*) hugh jackman is awesome in my book! :twisted:

    Already a thread somewhere, but Let The Right One In is well worth a look!

    If you're after something to rent - not exactly new - but would very highly recommend Dead Man's Shoes!

    I could be on all day recommending good movies!

    A friend completed a survey on the top movies of the 2000s last year - some great movies in there - will see if I can hunt it out!

    I heard from our nephew that Anvil is good, definitely worth watching. It doesn't open here until 5/29 and isn't playing everywhere though. :)

    X-Men:Wolverine Origins- Thumbs Up
    I enjoyed this although it seems i'm in the minority. I really did not see what was so bad about it. It was not as good of a superhero movie as Ironman or Batman, but it was far from a punisher, elektra, or daredevil movie too. Lots of good action. The plot could have been developed a little better, but i thought it was worth seeing.

    Star Trek- Thumbs Up
    This one was really good! I'm far from a "trekie" and i enjoyed this a lot. I do like my fair share of sci fi/fantasy, but i think most who are not die hards for the genre would enjoy it. It is an action packed film with a strong enough script and plot that you don't feel like you are on a all out action joy ride although at times it borders on that as the movie is fast paced.

    I think it's being screened at Cannes later this month and world wide in August.

    I'm not of the fall art films kinda guy...sadly, there wasn't too many dark comedies last year. Well, not one that I was impressed with anyways... :|

    Terminator Salvation is the only thing that I'm really excited for this summer.

    I saw Star Trek, and while I really enjoyed it, part of me thinks it was a little too much flash, not enough substance. Many of the main characters did not have very much dialog, especially McCoy and Scotty who were both extremely well cast. A lot of people will disagree with me and say it is an awesome reboot of the franchise and that too much story would take away from the frenetic pace of special effects, and I say, go right ahead, but I love my more sophisticated, nerdy Trek.

    I'm most looking forward to Terminator Salvation, but I'll be at the theatre for Transformers 2, GIJoe, and surprisingly the new Harry Potter looks awesome!

    I loved the Anvil movie..prior to the movie I've never heard of the band..but I saw the guys on VH1's That Metal Show so we went to see it ..
    While watching the movie you (me) feel some many different emotions, from embarassment, to laughter, to your heart breaking for them.

    THUMBS UP!

    Apart from 'Milk' and 'The Reader' which I thought were both very good - Milk's a great film - I've been trawling through this highly regarded list of 100 of the best films put together by the Guardian's long serving film critic Derek Malcolm:
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2001/jan ... eatures111

    A lot of them are very old and obscure, and somewhat boring, but a good percentage of them are brilliant. It's a good place to venture into some new territory at any rate.

    I forgot to mention that 'Che' - Part 1 is really good. Benicio Del Toro does a fucking good job of playing Guevara. It's a long film but it seemed to go by in a flash, which is always a good sign.

    Also, I watched the recently released French gangster film 'Mesrine' - http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct ... ine-biopic - starring Vincent Cassel. Another very good movie if you're into gangster movies. It's set in the 70's and they've done a great job of looking the part and of creating a realistic 70's back-drop. The movies in two parts. I've only seen the first one.

    Edit: I also watched 'Man on Wire' the other week. It's a documentary about a French fella who walked a tightrope between the world trade centers. It charts his early life as a street artist - mime, juggling, tightrope walking e.t.c. and his early feats of tightrope walking between the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's really just about an individual who loves to entertain, challenge himself, and take risks. I recommend it.
