lol! That good huh? Isn't The Machinist another one?

Then again people on imdb seem to love that one for reasons beyond me, i thought it was pretty dreadful and ended up as surprising as Stephen King plot twists these days.

why is it when i read dk i immediately thought of dean cain lol

well even though i figured out the guy in the hospital who attacked the wife and daughter was in on it pretty early on but the twist at the end where the real killer is revealed i didnt actually twig, even though when it was reveled it seemed so obvious, but whatever you say cary elwes still acted his part well and danny glover still has a face that looks like a horse whose been beaten with a pan multiple times

yeah. machinist was his movie of the year. forget which award he gave to saw</i>.

in fairness though, I never bothered to watch it. I heard good things about it from someone who thinks basically the opposite of me, and since I've already seen seven</i>....

oh yeah: watch latest ep of entourage</i> and most of underworld</i>. also, first season of x-men: evolution</i>.

whose DK?

Isreali mod at FH with one of the most hit and miss, flip flop tastes in movie around. He's a big Cronemberg fan, but he did a fan audio commentry for the Machinist so I don't know what to think

[maxpayne2409]

ah right i see, maybe over there they just get badly dubbed movies so theyre limited for choice

[dinky]

you serious?

:rofl:

[maxpayne2409]

I guess im the only person who, apart from knowing its a film, has never heard of the machinist, which from your commens is probably a good thing

[dinky]

nah. I never watched it either. doesn't look like my cup of tea. you might like it though. it looks kinda macabre. batman stars in it. looks like a zombie.

watched 6ft under and last hour or so of man on fire</i> denzel version. good stuff. could do without the superfllous drowning-in-pool dreams/images though.

[spudthedestroyer]

batman stars in it. looks like a zombie.

That commitment to the role is the only thing worth watching... I bet he wish he read the script before endangering his life/health like that

The plot is so predictable and lame, its easily categorisable alongside Secret Window in the retard class.

[maxpayne2409]

u didnt sell the film to me im afraid so ill pass on it

i do fail to see though how anything with denzil washington in can be "good stuff"

Seems i'm the only one that thought it sucked. IMO its the same kind of level of lame deer as Secret Window.

[maxpayne2409]

never seen the machinist and never will, but i saw secret window and i think it would be more aptly named if they added an E and called it Secretes huge piles of shit window

Madagascar</i>
the penguins were funny. everything about this was forgetable, and I like</i> animation generally speaking. the lead voices all seemed wrong also. penguins were good though.

[maxpayne2409]

what exactly is madagascar(apart from a country) i saw a poster for it the other day all over a shop and it jsut looked like some really lame pre school childrens show like teletubbies, tweenies and other such absolute arse kids shows (not like the ones we had back in the day)

oh my! i may have to agree with you on this one and say i also thought the machinist sucked was hoping for a lot more but as you have said it was so predictable and i'm usually the last to know whats going on in a film

went to the cinema to catch war of the worlds at the weekend....what a waste of money that was

animals pampered in a zoo end up stranded in the wild (on madagascar). they meet weird native things (squirrels?). wackiness ensues. it's not pretentious or anything, but it's also not much different from the timon & pumba show. you'd prolly wanna kill me if you paid to see it on my recommendation.

[maxpayne2409]

hmm sounds like [insert almost any fish out of water cartoon/film title here] i dont think ill bother with it

[dinky]

fantastic 4</i>. I was pleasantly surprised. it's light. lighter than the x-men. but I enjoyed it. lemme put it like this: catwoman</i>, punisher</i>, daredevil</i>, electra</i>, and hulk</i> are all more interesting characters, but this was a better movie than any of those.

I never liked the FF anyway, and I was actually impressed that The Thing didn't actually come off like an animated turd. iunno. they're the FF. they're not supposed to have really tragic stories. decent movie - WAY above my expectations.

last analogy: it's a lot like war of the worlds</i>. it's WotW. it's been done. everyone knows it. speilberg would have had to significantly</i> alter the story to do anything remotely more that what he did, which was make a slick summer flick. personally, I find johnny storm's wise-cracks more entertaining than watching the monster-of-the-month destroy XYZ city.
