Rating: C+ I seen the makings of that movie on MTV the other day and it looked ok to watch but now I wasn’t sure if I want to see it after they show this scene. One of the puppets wouldn’t stop puking. It was gross Originally posted by Melllvar: The Incredibles
Loved it. A I’m going to watch that tomorrow. -----------------

You actually liked the sheep film, but... were freaked out by the baby!... How is that possible! I found the sheep film freaky as hell. The baby is cute, until the end... but I think that's an awesome idea showing his super powers at the end, that not even his own family know about. We all find out at the same time, which is clool...

Hey Alex - did we get the uncensored version of Team America down here?

Ah, okay. I assumed you'd seen a preview at the movies or something... oh well, I'll find out myself in 3 days! Apparentally, the U.S. version had about a minute cut from the sex scene. The puppets originally covered themselves in shit, had golden showers, etc. then the scene was trimmed down to something like 40 seconds to get an American R rating. I bet Juliet would LOVE to see the uncensored version.

AlexanderI was expecting a decent movie out of this. Sure it got crappy reviews from my local movie guys, but I assumed that's because they were rednecks and didn't like the historically accepted fact that He's gay. Well, bi, actually. However, it turned out to be the biggest waste of my time since I started posting here, and exactly one quadrillianth as entertaining. Where to start...badly constructed around a rambling narration by Ptolemy (Christopher Plummer, I believe.) It skips ack and forth in time, and focuses on events with no real historical value: Ptolemy (VO): Alexander conquered this, this and this. Next Scene: The kegger he went to afterwards with his generals. Basically, the entire movie is about his screwed up interpersonal relationships and emotional problems he might have had. One quick note: I was bothered by the whole relationship thing between Alexander and Hephaue-however you spell it, NOT because it was a homosexual relationship, but because any love story with that much extraneous sap where there could have been another battle sequence really pisses me off, especially in a biopic about history's greatest empire-builder. Let's watch him build a fucking empire!Highlight: The Battle of Gaugamela (gory without being utterly tasteless, rather accurate to descriptions of battles of that era, damed exciting.) Low point: any and all dialogue. And the acting. And the pacing. D+Oh, and Team America kicked ass, hands down. Nothing parodies action movies better. Trey Parker Thank you, Beamer deserves an oscar nom for best VO artist, if there is one. Particularly for Kim Jong-Il, even Trey only has one Asian voice. "We have Arec Bardwrin."

I believe it was Trey Parker doing Kim Jong-Il's voice. From what I've heard in the previews, the voice is hilarious - the only problem is that it's practically identitical to the voice he uses for the City Wok guy in South Park.

Big Fish The first of several movies I saw over the weekend, and this was probably my favourite. Unusual for me, I enjoyed the sad scenes in the film, but the characters were definately the best part. The Japanese Siamese twins, the Werewolf Circus Owner, the Giant, the Bank Robbing Poet, all memorable. Also quite funny in most scenes. A
Goodbye, Lenin The second best of the movies I saw, I quite enjoyed it, even though it had several flaws. A few little funny moments, like capitalism slowly taking over East Germany, but mostly an emotional movie. Went on for quite a lot longer and dragged on in several key areas, but it did it's job well. An extra half mark goes towards the alternate history they make up for their mother. B-

D'IncrediblesIncredible! Brilliant, I loved it. More than Finding Nemo I'd say because of the Bondness of it all, the music, the cool gadgets. Awesome. That baby rocked! He was the best animated of them all! That creepy boss and outfit lady freaked me out. I loved the diversity of only 6 superheroes (if you count the baddie), it worked excellently. Top notch Pixar, A+

The Incredibles
What everyone else said. Not the best CGI film ever, but miles ahead of the competition (especially the derivative Shrek 2 and Shark Tale).

My favorite moment of The Incredibles is... when Frozone is "just getting a drink". That whole scene is so intense and awesome, reminded me of Pulp Fiction Anyone else think that?...

I must admit that the 'look' of the movie is what impressed me most. It had that whole 50's/60's thing going on.

The Incredibles:Definitely a lot darker than Pixar's previous outings. But that's OK, because it's a fantastic film. Still doesn't oust Toy Story 2 as my favourite CGI film, though . The beginning kinda reminded me of City of Heroes, but I thought the whole section with Edna Mode was fantastic, as well as the whole homage to the 60s Bond films. I also liked that they didn't overexplain everything, something which I think has blighted a lot of films and TV shows recently. If there was a downside, it's that the film seemed to be a little too fast in moving from scene to scene (and no outtakes during the credits again ). Anyway, A-On a slightly related note, does anyone else get headaches from watching films in the cinema? Maybe it's just me, but every time I've gone I've walked out with a throbbing headache (regardless of the quality of the film).

It's a stretch to believe that all single women are as obsessed with chocolate, and the size of their thighs as this.* Hmm, not so sure about obsession with chocolates, but size of their thighs and the rest of their body, I kinda agree. All my ex roommates (all girls and single) and girlfriends (all of them are single) are all like that. When I say single I mean not married but not necessarily have no guys in their lives. Some of them have boyfriend/s. Even the friends of my mum and dad are like that, and they are married and middle aged! The only people I know who think people like Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore are the ideal looking women are the family I am married to, and their friends. When I said Kate Winslet is the ideal size I mean in titanic, not before. I heard she was much fatter than the size she was in titanic, which was too fat. My hubby is the one who taught me lots of men out there prefer meaty looking ladies, only teens who read too much fashion magazines like ‘skeletons.’ The only ones he mentioned that are attractive which belongs to the slimmer category are Cindy Crawford and Monica Belluci. There may be more but I don’t remember right now. Anyway these two celebrities are slim but not bonny.

Mell: Yep, he rocks, I know him as Grand Negas from DS9, funny man.
CK: Ack! Stop reminding me I have to see Toy Story 2! Also, I've never had headaches really, could be a number of things causing it, complain to the manager to open a window or throw out the crying babies! One of the babies in the row in front of me kept leaning back and grabbing me by the leg, talk about a short attention span!
Fuzzy: Yup, that chase was brilliant, from jungle to water, beautiful visualses.

Thats just what I thought! Along with "crap, did we go into the wrong screen?" I saw the incredibles today, for some weird reason I liked the office scenes, they were just so accurate to real life. The scripting for the bad guy was really good, with a cool 'machine gun the kids, and if my partner gets captured, let her die' attitude. Its a shame he looked like an annoying Jimmy Neutron clone though.

"I can't go back in there. It's all hating faces that I have to chop up with a machete!" Well I just got back from I heart Huckabees and it was one of the greatest and funniest films I have seen all year, and while on this topic of a hell of a great film I will mention The Incredibles which I recently saw, wow, I mean what was not to like in that movie? I especially loved Syndrome and Frozone, anyone left in the World who hasnt seen it go, go now! Plus Boundin' (or the Sheep thing as its affectionately known as ) was awesome too, what's to loose? Didn't I tell you to go? Now not such a great film but still quite enjoyable was The Grudge well what to say about it, it was interesting but scary? Well the people in front of us sure thought it was jumping at every possible opportunity that arrised including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ted Raimi talking...about an old woman...at a desk *shudder* So I say: I heart Huckabees - 8.5/10The Incredibles - 9/10Boundin' - 7/10The Grudge - 6.5/10See ya later folks.
