Last week I saw Batman Returns, which I haven't seen since I was like 5 or so. It still kicks ass, and I prefer it to the new Batman movies.

super bump.... because, well, i why start a new thread!?

at any rate, i just recently saw Annie Hall (wiki article & imdb page) and i liked it. you may not like woody allen but its a good movie. i dont believe it should have beaten star wars for best movie oscar, but its still a very good movie. anyone else catch it? or care for it? or hate it?

i also saw Renaissance recently (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_(film) & http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386741/) and i enjoyed that one as well. its a 2006 animated movie. its computer animated but its all in black & white (except for a few moments near the end w/color, but that was done for effect.) so, the b&w color scheme can be disorienting at first, but you get used to it. its a typical missing person, hard ass cop movie. the story is cliche, but the animation stands out on its own. if you havent seen it, i would recommend it

I've seen it, but I still enjoy Bananas as Woody's best movie.

I think Die Hard is one of the best action films ever made, it's certainly my favorite movie to watch at Christmas. If anyone has anything negative to say about Die Hard, i suggest you get bent!!!

Finally saw E.T.

Just watched 'Fletch' today for the first time. Hmmm, Chevy Chase used to be funny.

Lord of War. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Benjamin Button. I didn't doubt that it would be good, I've just been really lazy with movies for a couple years now.

so, my DVR was getting full and i had to clear some movies so i can record more shit.

i saw:
Usual Suspects = BAD-FUCKING-ASS
Zoolander = very fucking stupid, but i laughed a lot thruout the movie. mostly because it was stupid
Saw V = meh

That's funny. I just saw that last week for the first time ever. Did you DVR it off the IFC channel? That's where I got it. It was OK, but I hated the ending.

I guess the last "you need to see this movie" I saw was Boondock Saints...and man did it suck! Dafoe hammed it up bigtime and while the brothers were cool, I hated the "funny guy" and the ending of the movie was stupid. Definately going to skip the sequel.

lol yup. right off the IFC. i agree about the ending. thats probably what turned me off from the whole movie.

Back to the Future- Because the AVGN loves it so much

Dances With Wolves, pretty good.

Posted: May 15 2010 03:22 am

Platoon. Dunno how I missed seeing it for so long when it's got such an ensemble cast that includes Keith David, Willem Dafoe and Dr. Cox.

You mean that movie that ripped off Avatar's entire plot line? Pass.
