One of my ex's wouldn't shut-up about that movie. Thankfully, we broke up before she could get around to force me to watch it with her.
Um, Heathers is awesome.

I've heard mixed things from different people. Basically, I really didn't want to watch it with her since I, uh, didn't like her -- and thus, figured I wouldn't like the movie too much either, hah.

Watched Ponyo last night, I never saw any of Hayao Miyazaki other movies, but I really liked this. It was very strange at times, but the animation is awesome and my little girl liked it, so I can't complain. Looking forward to his others if they are as good as this

Heathers is a dark and, in an odd way, more realistic John Hughes movie. There's murder, explosions, suicide, croquet, cliques, and Christian Slater. What more do you want in a high school movie?

watched dead girl last night. Pretty gross, and did a few things right, but I can't reccomend it. It's a shame. I'd heard good things about it.

I picked up night of the creeps on DVD last night. Best horror flick from the 80's hands down.

Watching hot shots! on cable right now. Still funny...

That movie was not at all what I was expecting. It was good, but like you said nothing special.
I thought it was so-so the first time I saw it, but excellent the second time through. I really liked the scene where...
Spoiler:
...he's trying to get Wade on the train through all the crazy town's people, and Wade starts actually helping him along. I just thought it was an excellent "character" scene.

Yeah that was definitely my favorite scene, for that reason.

I know this was talked about more in the "scary movies" thread, but I watched Let The Right One In recently. Thought it was really well done, took me by surprise a bit (not in its quality, but in how it was done).

Funny that the Hollywood remake is being done to apparently "make it more accessible." :face: In doing so they'll most likely ruin the two best things it had going for it: atmosphere and cinematography.

Nice to finally see someone else in this thread mention this movie. It easily falls into my top ten (maybe even top five) favorite movies.

This is a good chance to run a disclaimer: I have unpredictable taste in movies, so don't be offending if I'm all "meh" about your favorite flick (not specifically addressed to you).

I just watched Pan's Labyrinth on TV last night. That was a weird movie, especially because I thought initially it was the same movie as Labyrinth with David Bowie. I figured after about 10 minutes when everything in Spanish that something was off. But a very weird movie to say the least... pretty depressing too.

i thought this movie was visually stunning, but one thing about it bothered me...

it's heavilly implied that the crazy stuff is all in the girl's imagination, but if that's the case, how did she get out of the room when she was locked in? the doorway would not have really existed.

I think it was supposed to be that way...
Spoiler:
kind of like with the magical root she put under her mom's bed. She went into labor and died after throwing it in the fire even though, in the "real" world, it was just some regular old root.

I think the whole idea was to make it seem like it was all in the girl's head, but there were little things that made it seem like there was more to it.

Oh, and Froggy...
Spoiler:
I didn't understand the point of putting the poison in her father's drink to get away when it didn't really have an effect on him... he stumbled around a bit, but it seemed like, in the end, they just decided to ignore that he drank it.

I am a big fan of Miyazaki. You will not be disappointed with the rest of his works.
