Hmm. Sin City is my favorite movie ever. I saw like 85% of it one night because I half fell asleep. Im getting the new Special Edition DVD or whatever it is that came out for Christmas. Oh yeah, and Jessica Alba is awesome.

Sarah Silverman rules. You and I have the same(ish) type taste in movies, so I definitely want to see this now.

Anybody see Harry Potter 4. It was awesome but they cut so much of it out of the book.

YanksHater213 · 12-18-2005, 05:47 PM

Harry Potter? Haha. I hope the movies arent half as bad as the books are. I saw one of them, I forget which, but it absolutely blew.

Harry Potter movies, especially the two most recent ones, are surprisingly good. Directors seem to know what to do with the material, and they do it well. Also, one of the female leads, whose name I will omit for fear of being creepy, is quite the looker.

Anyway, recent movies I've seen (some for the umpteenth time) include:

American Psycho 4.5/5
Dr. Strangelove: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb 5/5 my all-time favorite
Leon (AKA The professional) 4/5
Airplane! 4.5/5
Young Frankenstein 4/5
Crash 4.5/5

Actually, I'd already seen all of these movies, but I was introducing them to friends who had never seen them before.

I HATED 100% of Harry Potter 4. It wasn't funny, it was too long, half the scenes were unnecessary. The only good scenes were the ones about the tournament, and those weren't even that good. It was awful.

And yes, Sin City was amazing. And I just bought 40 Year Old Virgin yesterday, and it's amazing. Unrated. Holy crap there's a lot of boobs in that movie.

YanksHater213 · 12-18-2005, 05:55 PM

I got 40 year old virgin on DVD and saw it in thearters. I thought it was overrated. People said it was the funniest movie ever, but I thought Wedding Crashers was funnier.

On another note, Yeszir its good to see you gave Crash a 4.5. I havent seen it, but my coach said it was one of the best movies hes seen.

I know my shit.

i agree the directors recreated it perfectly. Just as i had it my head. My favorite book was 5 so i can't wait too see the next one.

I liked the 3rd HP movie the best. The latest one seemed kind of boring and slow moving, I really didn't think it had to be that long of a movie. The scenes with the Triwizard events didn't seem as exciting as I thought they would be and they should of spent more time on the Quidditch World Cup.

I agree with YH that 40 year old virgin just wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. It had a few one-liners here and there but not as much stuff that just kept me laughing. Some of my friends were like the part with the body wax was just so funny, but that kind of humor doesn't really do it for me.

**CalvnHobs6** · 12-18-2005, 07:25 PM

I think the reason the body wax scene was so funny was because it was real. They ACTUALLY waxed him, and those reactions from the actors were completely real. Don't tell me you didn't clutch for your nipple after that one...*shudder*. There were some very funny scenes, and overall I thought it was outstanding.

yankeessuck013 · 12-18-2005, 07:27 PM

yep excellent movie.

Yooooooooow, Kelly Clarkson!

YanksHater213 · 12-18-2005, 07:31 PM

Yeah, that was definitely the best part of the movie...

Any reviews/opinions on the three?

I saw Good Night and Good Luck for my ENG 102 class (50 EC points!

) and I was pleasantly suprised, I enjoyed it. But be in the mood, its a black and white film with old 50's music. You could easily get bored and your mind could wander.

And I also heard that Syriana is good.

My favorite movie is an actual black and white movie from the '60's, so I guess I'll live.

And the 40 year old virgin was surprisingly funny. The body wax scene was entertaining because torturing people is amusing, but the rest of the movie certainly had its moments. Anything Steve Carell does is genius though.
