I saw The Phantom Menace again, and, hey! :yahoo: I found 3 E.T.s in the Coruscant council! Go find 'em yourself! They appears only 2 seconds! :omg:

The last movies I saw were "Fight Club" and "A Clockwork Orange". I thougth both film were great!

Do Simpsons-Episodes count?
If not, it was Revenge of the Sith

A movie you saw at the movies or on DVD? At the movies it was Revenge of the Sith :yuck: at home it was David Cronenburgs The Fly, along with my friend. I tell you something... David Cronenburg surely catched my eye. It was such a nostalgic really 80's movie. They don't make movies like that anymore. It was like a horror movie meant for real grown ups and not for kids or teens. Well written, well directed and Howard Shore's score was great over it. He worked a lot with Cronenburg so I suppose Howard Shore has lots of dark scores.

Matilda by Danny DeVito..after I bought the DVD my father though I would be mad but it had a big influence in my childhood and I wanted to have it...

Also there is a Golden Edition of Space Balls - I Have to have it!!!

Another Cronenburg. Scanners!!! Weird dudes!!! Strange dialogues, weird actors, funny clothing, really 80's. It's like an horror episode of the early A-Team episodes or Magnum.

I saw some on TV....some German stuff...bah! :huh:

The Secret of Nimh

First time in YEARS that I have watched that. Clearly one of the best animated movies around. :)

Last night I saw Jeepers Creepers. A real case of a film that could have been awesome, but wasn't. More plotholes than the latest big-budget pornomovie, a monster that's revealed too soon and shown too often, an ending that feels like the budget for the grand finale that was supposed to follow had run out. What purpose does the entire clearvoyance thread have? And why did they make the black woman so irritable?

But god did I love the references to Duel and some Stephen King novels.

Hey Jeepers Creepers is one of the best Horrormovies in the 90's IMO...

Which one is he talking about anyway 1 or 2? They're one of the latest better horrormovies. They only dislike 2 because the director is a pedofile. The monster is cool and giving the monster a hard time in the second one was great. A bus pole in his eye only moveable back and front. Beautiful!!

BATMAN BEGINS, excellent in all aspects!

4/5 from me

Did you mean four stars of five?

I think he means 4-5! ;)

And to your question Mario I didnb't see the second movie but I am sure that the first is far better....the old church, the underground hole, the man who swallows organs and the scene with the elderly women and her cats..... :yahoo:

Thrilling!!!!

I saw Batman Begins last week!
And I just saw War Of The Worlds a couple hours ago.
Both are GREAT! :D :D

I mean 4 out of 5 ;)

I, ROBOT

Very, very good movie imo with a flawless score. Only minor point for me as far as the film is regarded, is that It lacked that darker color and tone I expected it to have but anyway that’s clearly not what the director, producers and all wanted. Good job overall.

OCEAN’S 12

Bad, really bad.. While I greatly enjoyed the first one, I somehow knew this wasn’t as good but I wanted to watch it, mainly for Steven Soderbergh, whose work I admire, and just for the sake of it. While watching, I couldn’t help thinking that it was a movie made plainly for the money and for no reasons of existing whatsoever. Tedious, boring, as predictable as one movie can be, without a spirit or freshness, even all the actors seemed bored as well….and with a god awful ending. Damn, I rarely throw away 2 hours of my life for meaningless movies, which I have a sense prior to watching that they won’t deserve it but still I go on renting them, OCEAN's 12 was one of them. On the sidenote, the David Holmes score reminded me A LOT of John Powell and had no personality either, just like the meaningless parade of big names it escorted. Stay away as hell.

--------

Watched LAYER CAKE today, a very nice drug / gangster film a la LOCK, STOCK and TWO SMOKING BARRELS, Snatch and The 51st State with a slightly more dramatic tone and a very nice style / photography / directing (as it’s the case with all those films) and a beautiful score from LISA GERRARD along with some Ilan Eshkeri contributions, which sounded suspiciously like CLINT MANSELL’S REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Neat.

------

also the tedious and painfully slow THE GUYS (the one about a fire station that lost many of its men during the morning of 9/11)……damn what a bore! Except the eerie but short, MYCHAEL DANNA score.

-----

Watched ARSENE LUPIN on dvd today. Brilliant movie with an excellent look (photography and directing), constantly changing and evolving story that keeps the interest high and a simply amazing score! Have to get it, really soon!

--------

Just watched SKY CAPTAIN and the WORLD OF TOMORROW tonight, on dvd. Nice movie with a very interesting and fresh look and color but nothing particularly special or important at all. The EDWARD SHEARMUR score is a flawless homage to all the Golden-age composers and a great listen indeed.

--------

P.S. Ignore the ‘tonight’s’ and ‘today’s’, they’re comments from various days.

Godfather Part 2! I just say: wow!

Io Non Ho Paura/I'm Not Scared

Brilliant !!!!! One of the best movies I have seen lately. Very emotional. The score is also great.
* * * * *

Is that the last Dario argento's movie?

So I bet the score is from Goblin. They scored a lot of Argento's movies. Check out Profondo Rosso (Deep Red). ;)

Gabriele Salvatores is the director. The score is by Ezio Bosso, Pepo Scherman, Ennio Morricone (song "Se Telefonando").

Take a look here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326977/.

I say again, brilliant movie and score.

:up:

OOOOH italian horror movie?!? :omg:
I though they only would produce dramatic ones and movies to be oscar-favourite! ;)

<_<

It's not horror. It's an emotional, dramatic, mysterios movie.

Bride and Prejudice
(Hindi-France-England-America collaboration)

Lee, I was confused about Dario Argento (the master of thriller/horror) because one of his last movies was called Non ho sonno, so it's similar to Io non ho paura. Only one word is changed, so whatever. :pardon:

Saw the JACKET tonight, with Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley. Quite a nice, atmospheric and moody thriller piece which is not based on any scares and all, rather it’s based on a more psychological and moral approach. It tries to pass to the audience a very important idea about the crucial significance of each and every second we spend alive and I think it manages to achieve it in the end.

The score is usual BRIAN ENO, minimalistic to the very end, with no surprises at all.

Last movie i watched was War of the Worlds but i will have to watch it again under better circumstances.

The cinema where i watched it was not so much focused on presenting a movie but to make money from cigarettes and alcohol. The sound system was really bad and the screen super small. Now if you have a terrible sound system and people are talking, ordering drinks and smoking during the movie which is shown on a small screen you loose pretty much all of it. Williams music was barely noticeable and if this was not enough, they cutted the end credits and played pop music.

I complained about that and asked the guy who sells the tickets why the hell they cut the end credits. He did not even knew the word "end credits" by the way and i had to explain it to him. He replied that the people dont want to see this and could get hurt when they stand up in the dark.

Too bad i did not insist on getting my money back which was by the way 7,50 € for an incomplete movie!

To everybody who is reading this: Don't visit "Kino Ahlbeck" on Usedom, Germany! You will get nothing else but anger.

Sorry to hear that. War of the World IMNO lives from the graphic and accousitic overflow of the first third, I wish I could have seen it digitally, but a screen and THX or at least DTS audiosystem should be an aboslute must for this film.

-MADAGASCAR- I laughed out loud! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Futurama episodes. Now that is funny animation!

The final two episodes from the first season of "LOST". This is one of my favorite TV serials. I can't wait for the second season. Michael Giacchino score is great, I hope for a release.

The Quick and the Dead... wow.. Sam Raimi never did any bad movie..

..and Dante Spinotti's photography.. always look great!

American Beauty: I really love Kevin Spacey's performance in that one. Thomas Newmans score is pretty interesting.

American Beauty is one of my favorite movie ever.


I just saw Batman Begins, and I like it :) . Christopher Nolan is a great director. Batman is my favorite superhero.

the movie * * * *
the score (as heard in the movie) * * * *

Bad Boys. The first one. It was good but Bad Boys II is better. In the first one it was odd that no cars flipped over. A pity but hey Michael Bay made that up in Bad Boys II, can't wait for Bad Boys III. The score wasn't bad, very Speed-like. Mancina did a great job maybe even better then Rabin. It sounded like real film music. Rabin just should use his own real film music style as in Deep Blue Sea or National Treasure. No Mancina and Rabin should work together for the third one as they were supposed to do for the second one.
Come on Michael Bay, get ready on the third one and want some advice:
more hand to hand combat, (the ones in the first one were way too short and let them both fight. Marcus on bad guys and Mike on bad guys) more facial wounds and injuries near the end.
Let them cars flip over like in Bad Boys II.
Scenes at Mike's place.
Maybe seperate scenes of both, ya know Mike alone, Marcus alone and stuff gets crazy then.
Oh and about the length of the movie: 135 to 140 minutes is just fine.

Spiderman was somewhat dissapointing, the first one, but true... everything what Raimi and Tapert pulls off, rocks!!!

American Werewolf in Paris :D

The Cider House Rules. Good film and good score by Rachel Portman! Score is on its way to me :D

War of the Worlds again with good sound and end credits. A totally different experience and this time i actually heard the score during the film.

There is one thing I wonder about in the ferry scene: When the Tripod comes up from the water i thought i heard some very deep choir. I am not sure if this was the noise of the engine of the tripod or part of the score. Maybe it is a bit of both but it is certainly a great effect.

Yeah, Rachel never did any crap thing! Cider's score was nominated for Academy Award..

Last movie: GIE (indonesian, a biography of Indonesian student who started a movement with his friends during President Soekarno era)
- The Quest (JC Van Damme)
