Re: Worst Movie Ever Thread !!

Worst movie for me was "Wild, Wild West." I wanted to shoot myself in the head sitting through that crap in the theater.

I heard it was bad. But from some reviews I read, it has a so-so positive rating. I don't really like RE movies, because they only favor the action and so little shocking / scary scenes. If they were to give more horror like the game, it might be good.

 

[yoniekai]

i saw on rotten tomatoes. it got around 20%. that's gotta be awful. im picky about my moviez

 

[Impel Down]

Yeah, it looks pretty crappy, to me, and they make it seem like all the other "expert zombie hunters" except Alice totally suck.

I watched Phantom of the Opera (again) today and I loooooove it! A lot of people don't like it, but I do. I've seen the original play, which is jut as amazing, but there's so many things you can't do in a play (though that's part of a play's charm) that you CAN in a movie and seeing Phantom on-screen is awesome <3 critics said the casting was shit but I think the cast is great.

 

[PaperYomiko]

I thought Phantom was well done also, in fact, I liked it better than the stage version I saw. I think it received more harsh criticism than it deserved for being a bit too cheesy for the critics' taste, which is really pretty silly as the play is just as cheesy itself (which is obviously not a bad thing, considering how much money the show has brought in... people like that stuff ^^). Personally, I loved how reminiscent of Cocteau it was, with the staging and atmosphere

Random but kind of cool fact...I first saw the movie in an old theatre that was converted from an opera house, which made it even more cool but also kind of creepy...good thing there wasn't a chandelier

Anyway, I just watched Tony Takitani, a beautiful story by Haruki Murakami turned into a surprisingly great film, imho. It's a sad but very moving and profound story, I highly recommend it (but read the story first!! ^^)

 

[genkigemini]

I loved Phantom although I wasn't in love with the singing voice on the guy playing the Phantom. (His name escapes me but he redeemed himself to me in 300 though which was a totally bitchin' movie.)

I just watched Hot Fuzz! That was hella funny! I liked Shaun of the Dead more but it was still really good. ^_^

Re: Top 5 Movies You Seen Many Times

5 of many movies...

Big Trouble in Little China
A Clockwork Orange
Hard Boiled
The Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump

 

[LadyHatake]

Phantom = Gerard Butler <3333 (totally bishie!) Yeah, his voice wasn't super super great, but considering he'd never really had any voice training (as opposed to Emmy Rossum, who'd even sung with the Metropolitan Opera) he's wasn't half bad.

 

[genkigemini]

Thanks... Gerard Butlers name was totally escaping me. I was in love with the guy who played Raoul. Emmy Rossum was awesome though. I really really liked her Christine. I saw the show on stage in LA and loved it. Someday I would love to see it again. Do you like other musicals? I am a sucker for anything with Gene Kelly and I love Jesus Christ Superstar.

 

[LadyHatake]

Raoul was played by Patrick Wilson. And yeah, he was hot <3 And agreed, Emmy was AMAZING.

I love Mama Mia! and Hairspray. I haven't seen many others, but I really really really wanna see the upcoming Broadway version of The Little Mermaid! And Beauty and the Beast. I'm a total sucker for Disney <3

 

[genkigemini]

Little Mermaid is going to Broadway?! I am dying to see Mama Mia. I am actually a big ABBA fan so I want to see it by default. I have always wanted to go to NY to see a show. Maybe the Little Mermaid will be my chance. I am a sucker for Disney too!

LadyHatake, you have to see Singin' in the Rain. It is an old musical comedy but really good. If you want a dramatic old WWII era movie, check out Me and My Gal. It stars Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. I love it but it is really dramatic and very pro-USA due to the war that was going on at the time.

 

[LadyHatake]

oooh, I love those old movies! I've seen part of singing in the rain, but it was yeaaaars ago so In don;t really remember. My mom really got me into older movies. She always watching the ones on AMC and TCM or w/e those channels are XD

 

[genkigemini]

Yeah, old movies are great. I am a total sucker for most of the musicals MGM did in the 40's and 50's. There was soooo much talent back then! It is also funny to see the change in what people consider beauty to be. Now, it is so posh to be stick thin and be all done up with Plastic surgery. Back then, it was much more real with most actors of that time.

Re: Top 5 Movies You Seen Many Times

My top 5 list :

-> Mononoke Hime (I saw it 6 times while it was still on theatre in France, wich lasts only a couple weeks)
-> La cité de la Peur (I don't think it's ever been translated in any language, but it's without question the funniest movie I ever saw, and I think I could just write down every single sentence of it from memory )
-> Once upon a time in America
-> Kung Pow (what a laugh.. darn )
-> Memento
