Movies - General Discussion

I thought the Rings Series was pretty good. I like the whole adventure aspect to them and the movies are very pleasing to the eyes.

what does your forum name stand for L-kxng

It is from an obscure native American language and loosely translated means:

Man with small penis and infatuation with man who throws interceptions in playoffs...

[L-kxng]

That and it was my first name at the Freep for a very short time. The infatuation I had in my teenage years for the Doors and Jim Morrison (lizardking). Most people my age (I wasn't even born when he died) don't really like or know much about the band since there were in the 60s. Since Favre retirement and a great loss in general interest for me in the NFL, I just switched back from Packfan.

The role of Neo was perfect for Keanu Reeves. I recently saw the second and third installments of the Matrix trilogy again. The second movie was a throw away. Mostly fight sequences. Course the first was the best.

I watched Reign Ove Me the other night. I think somebody posted something similar earlier, it was a good movie but difficult to watch because of how sad it was and how much pain Sandler's character was in. Pretty good performance from Sandler and Cheedle is always good.

I saw The Dark Knight tonight. I can't believe I am the first person on this board to comment on it, I figured someone else must have seen it before me.

Anyways, it was an awesome movie. Heath Ledger was unbelievable in his role as The Joker. I really think he outdid Jack Nicholson. Jack's Joker was more comical, Ledger's truly showed the psychopathic side.

The movie, even though it was 2 and a half hours long, had a real good flow and pace to it. It was infinitely better than Batman Begins, which was alright. Christian Bale doesn't do much for me as an actor, this movie was awesome because of Ledger.

I don't know if they can top this movie with the next one, but I look forward to finding out

SWEET!!! I cant wait to see it Frank. I never thought we'd see the day where Jack would be outplayed as the joker but it seems that day might have come.

its really a shame about Ledger.

I finally saw Dark Knight on Wednesday and it was great. The pacing was so good that you barely noticed the time fly by and that's saying something considering it was over 2.5 hours long.

I had low expectations for Vince Vaughan's Wild West Comedy Show and ended up being pleasantly surprised. It was reminiscent of Dane Cook's Tourgasm but was much more about the stand up than what was going on behind the scenes and the stand up bits they showed were very funny. I recommend it to anyone who loves stand up comedy.

I hadn't heard of it, Rommy. Is it a movie or on cable or something?

[romster]

I believe it was released as a movie at the theater. It's currently new to DVD. Vince took 4(?) stand up comedians on a 30 day tour across the country.

Thanks, Rom...I've added it to the queue.

Just got done with Lars and the Real Girl. Anyone else seen it yet? Gosling was awesome as usual. It was a bit off but I really liked it.

[romster]

Yeah I enjoyed it too. The quirkiness of the town was so charming - how they all accepted the doll and cared about Lars. Gosling is quite talented.
