Good Movies playing now

**27groo27** · Oct 19, 2004 05:55

Haven't been keeping up with movies lately. Wondering what's good now?

**Thing** · Oct 19, 2004 06:09

I watched Team America on Sunday. Very funny movie! Not for the faint of heart that's for sure.

**vgarcia** · Oct 19, 2004 06:33

I heard Shaun of the Dead was really good.

**Toly** · Oct 19, 2004 09:37

I'm waiting for Resident Evil 2 to come out. Anyone saw it?

**fatnewt** · Oct 19, 2004 09:59

I also saw Team America: World Police this weekend. It's hilarious, but if you're easily offended or unable to handle ridiculousness, you'd probably best steer clear of it.

I loved it though.

I also saw Taxi recently. It got a few bad reviews, but I thought it was very entertaining.

I saw it... it was good.

RE2 rocked Toly... definately go see that.

Any other good movies on the horizon?

**Toly** · Oct 19, 2004 11:19

Great! Thanks for the replies.

**Cam** · Oct 20, 2004 00:03

I want to see Shaun of the Dead as well, looks pretty funny

**bgray** · Oct 20, 2004 10:48

Saw Friday Night Lights last weekend. Pretty good stuff.

I grew up in the area the film was based in so that might have been extra incentive for me. Not much to say from that though. High School football is so big and emphasized in West Texas because there is nothing else to do.

I saw RE 2 aswell.
I think it's a good movie with a lot of action but my main problem with it was that the fight sequences were cut so fast which made it a little difficult to follow.

It's an action movie and there is hardly any slow moment during the entire film. It goes from one fight to another.

I watched Napoleon Dynamite recently, Hilarious

and weird

, defiantly the indie movie of the year.

p.s. sweet

I saw Shaun of the Dead when it first came out over here (in the summer) and it's definitely worth seeing

Tom Cruise's new film Collateral is pretty good too!

I've heard Collateral is pretty average.. can't really comment myself though. Going to see Anchorman this arvo, let you know how it was

**Toly** · Oct 21, 2004 22:49

I thought Collateral was a very good movie. I'd recommend it.

**Cam** · Oct 22, 2004 02:54

Didn't end up seeing Anchorman, saw Resident Evil instead. To be honest it didn't really turn me on, was okay but very predictable. Very very predictable and I hadn't even seen the first one. Still, it was okay.

Collateral was very good.

Shaun of the Dead was great! (my review)
I thought RE2 was horrible. It had a few decent moments (and Sienna Guillory was an excellent Jill Valentine, heh heh), but overall it was predictable and a bit boring. The fight scenes suffered from the "shaky cam" syndrome, where there wasn't much real fighting, but a lot of blurred camera movement and stuff.

Plus, it was more action oriented than horror, which disappointed me because the RE games were more focus on horror.

Friday Night Lights is a good movie.

I just saw the Punisher for the first time last weekend, and it was excellent. It really surprised me, I thought it would be medicore.

(sorry for the plug.

Team America was very funny. Trey Parker & Matt Stone do a good job at this sort of parody, it isn't one sided, they rip on everyone.

**SuperFunZoo** · Oct 22, 2004 12:33

Anyone seen "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks?

Yeah it sucked.

If that's true, then Speilberg(he did direct "The Terminal", didn't he?) needs to stop doing movies with Tom Hanks in them, because "Catch me if you can" kinda sucked too.

Hmmm, I haven't seen that all the way through but from the first half it looked pretty good. I've always wanted to see the whole thing but never got aorund to it.

Nah, I'm sure there is somebody out there who liked The Terminal, it just didn't turn me on.
