February 13, 200917 yr Hahahahahahahaha I love when Fish bite :) I also love how you think mentioning a few authors is going to justify your intelligence and your assumption that I am not well read. I'm glad I supposedly give Coldplay fans a bad name, I wasn't aware they were famed for being "unintellectual teenyboppers" I thought they were famed for being people with bland tastes in music (not noscessarily my views) George Orwell...I really liked the story and ideology of 1984, but I almost put the book down at one point because there was a section where he wasn't even making the politics behind the book subtle anymore, it was almost just him ranting (this is when they are reading "the book" by the way) It lost some of it's charm at that point. For reference, the reason I made that post was purely for this: "The Village (you should must see)" Not only a terrible use of English but a really bad movie
February 13, 200917 yr Blame it on a rush of blood to the ... .. ? Hahahahahahahaha "The Village (you should must see)" Not only a terrible use of English but a really bad movie I presumed most teenybopper fans could digest that lingo. I was trying to simply go down to their level of language, text messaging or speech. The Village cemented my fandom of M Night Shyamalan. I then watched Lady In The Water some years later in the theatres. Back on topic. TV's lead actor Michael Pitt has a killer French/American film called DREAMERS. The twist will have you rushing for the dunny, Woolworths & tampons.
February 13, 200917 yr Retarded? Are you a Nazi? Are you a terrorist? The moment you say someone is said expletive, is the moment you concede to defeat on a point of debate. HA, you give Coldplay fans a bad name. No wonder this site is an unintellectual teenybopper fest of BS & posing. I suggest kindly to read up on some George Orwell , or Jane Austin. If you are game enough & aren't a homosexual deviant, try Sigmund Freud...if your small skull & small brain can handle it. As Travis would sing in 12 Memories Peace The F%^K Out as there is too much $hit pouring out of your unintelligible mouth. That doesn't change the fact that you prefer "fight club" and "the day the earth stood still" to "a beautiful mind". You're entitled to your opinion of course, but personally, I find you laughably depressing.
February 13, 200917 yr I dunno, but he apparently has disdain for anything "unintelligible" :rolleyes: (and enjoys deducing paragraph long posts from scant information.)
February 13, 200917 yr You cut me down to size. You made me realise. What I could not see. I could write a book. The one they'll say that shook, took it? That doesn't change the fact that you prefer "fight club" and "the day the earth stood still" to "a beautiful mind". ABM glorifies mental illness. A dormant form of emo vicariousness. Pardon my unpolitically correct view. What next? Some Russel Crowe fanboy going on a shooting spree against his mathematics college professor in Virginia Tech, US of A 09'. Oh my Science, I was given Ritalin or Prozac & I couldn't go to sleep, nor get my equipment up at the college after party..

February 13, 200917 yr :dozey: Dare I ask what you find so profound about 'the day the earth stood still' and 'fight club'?
February 13, 200917 yr Aliens come flying from the underground: if you can see it then you will SOS understand..., ALIENS VERSUS HUMAN BEINGS? Just saw this some two hours ago & already it's having an effect on me (make love not war - the power of love must overcome the love of power). According to the film human beings are at: x1) Precipice & turning point in history, we either self destruct &/or or evolve? y1) We all have the capacity to change, but the ultimate 'no-middle-ground' question is will it be for the good - or the bad? I saw the original some years ago on DVD, so I had 'point of reference' on what the movie's political & idealogical aims are. The 50's version had fear of Communism *?* (not to sure of that, but I'm gonna re-watch it to make sure). This 08' version 'adapted' hitherto with a Zeitgeist fear of ecological/environmental/military destruction. I must admit the ending was abrupt, & initially shallow, plus lacking an epilogue. But baby, that's what DVD is for (aka deleted scenes & alternate endings). Hence when it hits the shops at a cheap clearance & affordable price, I will snap it up gladly. There are so many subtle themes in the film (power plays, chain of command, hierarchy, religion, redemption) so much so that if I ever become a college teacher, I would definitely use this film as springboard for discussion & further exploration of these issues; that effect & can change the world. Another potential morale/message (science-fiction revels in this) is nothing ever stays the same, hate can become love (vis-a-vis) vice versa: all done within an unpredictable/'chaos theory' time frame. IMHO the special effects played a secondary part to the drama & emotional resonance. Keanu Reeves was splendid & a key contributor (maybe they should have called this film The Matrix 4: Redux). Jennifer Connelly was intense & did enough (she looked pretty with her black hair). Will Smith's son was annoying at first, but later you grow to sympathise with his character for losing his dad: he simply missed the hell out of him. So yeah, add the theme of mourning/child psychology/parenting to the list above. Cathy Bates (I will always remember her for her role in Misery - based on a Stephen King novel) exemplified the gun-ho nature of American ...let's invade Iraq, Afghanistan shall we... politicians. MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION MAD?

February 22, 200917 yr Author STUPID NOT WORTH WATCHING MOVIES Haunting of Molly Hartley. Critics score : 28 out of 100 People Score : 4.5 out of 10 Viewing Capabilities : FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=" Avoid this Movie MPAA RATING: PG-13 for strong thematic material, violence and terror, brief strong language and some teen drinking Starring Chace Crawford, Haley Bennett, Shannon Marie Woodward, Shanna Collins, and AnnaLynne McCord Molly Hartley is the new girl in town. While Joseph shows her the ropes, Molly becomes haunted by nightmares of her mentally ill mother. Her worst fears are confirmed when her high school counselor tells her there could be a genetic connection between her mother's psychosis and her own terrifying symptoms. (Freestyle Releasing) GENRE(S): Horror WRITTEN BY: John Travis Rebecca Sonnenshine DIRECTED BY: Mickey Liddell RELEASE DATE: Theatrical: October 31, 2008 RUNNING TIME: minutes, Color ORIGIN: USA Highest Critic Comment 50 Variety Rob Nelson This softcore thriller runs strictly by the numbers. Lowest Critic Comment: 10 LA Weekly Luke Y. Thompson From Freestyle Releasing, the self-service distributor that brought you "D-War" and "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale," comes a movie even worse than those two combined. What I think: IF she has this really strong power does she get to show it in the end? NO, She has a succesful life better than her stupid life when she was before 18.. People try to kill her for no apparent reason...bad acting stupid plot ..one of the stupidest films of last year
February 22, 200917 yr Author OSCAR SPECIAL The Reader Starring Ralph Fiennes, Kate Winslet, David Kross, Lena Olin, Bruno Gan, and Alexandra Maria Lara The Reader opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. (The Weinstein Company Critics : 58 out of 100 Viewers : 7 out of 10 What I think: Kate winslet brings the whole story without her the story is dull and boring. Her acting brings life to the movie.. and also David Kross who plays Michael Berg also gives life to the movie..but when he grows old and becomes Ralph Fiennes the movie suddenly gets boring..( i dont like ralph fiennes acting at all) He isnt connected to the character like David Kross is. But in parts there are mix of emotions you can feel the love of Michael and Hanna is unexplainable and trully dramatic, trully makes the movie an oscar nom, love for one antoher with a twist at the ending stage of the movie.. I got teary a bit yes, Winslet's acting makes the movie a speacial treat and the plot is somehow different until it reaches the end where the plot is seamingly lifeless..and when wiinslet kills herself and she is gone from the movie it seems that the movie has lost its luster. Why did she kill herself whats the point? Guilt? Michael lives his life in full guilt and never tells hannah what he feels and what he shouldve done. Tsk Tsk Tsk.. FOr me this movie is spectacular in some points but somehow loosely ended. But the amazing part is when he reads to her winslet gets this look which makes you think that in little ways tihs character enjoys life in the fullest in simplest forms.. sucha horrible person she is (she was a Nazi Guard who never cared) Could be this sensitive middle aged woman who has love that goes to no boundaries with michael...Love is trully eternal My score: 7.9 Out of 10 (winslet may win the Best actress..either her or angie jolie, raplph fiennes ruined the moviie:\)
