^ No wonder you have a headache, those scenes at the end do that to me also.

Iron Man.

Didn't really get into the last couple of minutes, but RDJ made the whole thing epic.

And I just found out I missed 15 seconds of Nick Fury after the credit roll.

Fuck.

I saw it yesterday and was pleasently surprised, I liked it alot actually (got dragged along by a friend)
And I too just found out about this extra scene, damn. Usually I'm waiting til the very end but this time I left as soon as the credits started rolling because I had to use the bathroom

Just watched "Quiet Room ni Yokoso" with Uchida Yuki.
Really good movie, guess I'll have to get the DVD now.

Yeah I forgot about those. I was planning to see a slow paced movie

3:10 To Yuma (Remake) - 7/10

Enjoyable western with a great cast.

Saw Iron Man this morning, awesome movie. I have to admit I had really low expectations of it, but it's probably one of the best Marvel comic based movies so far.

And the little scene after the closing credits was a pleasant surprise

Iron Man

Just going to quote myself from my journal.

Quote

AWESOME!! ♥ I, quite literally, loved every second of it. From the acting and added comedy, to the effects, to the dialogue. Tony Stark is my other Marvel love, for real. I vaguely remember watching the old school Iron Man cartoons as a kid (amongst the other 'hero' shows). Where Spidey is a smart-ass that I love, Stark is a bad-ass. Seriously, if you haven't watched it yet, do so. Now. The ending of the movie pwned by the way, it was so damn good. I think I'm still feeling aftershocks of the fangirling session while watching, haha. It's also gotten superb reviews so far (94% approval at RottenTomatoes), more reason to watch watch watch!

Tonari no Totoro

Hadn't seen this one before, even though it's pretty well known.

What to say about it. The voice of the little kid annoyed me throughout the movie. Not a violent movie, some sad parts. I liked the smaller characters.. might get a plushy of one

Dr. Who: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966)

Troy - 6/10

Sure it's epic, the men are tough as nails and the women are beautiful babes, but there's something lacking about the film which never really made me connect. Maybe it's Orlando Bloom. Decent enough flick though, the fight between Hektor and Achilles is suitably epic.

Robin Hood (Disney)

Awesome awesome awesome, simply awesome! Still one of my favourite films ever after all these years, breaks away from your traditional Disney film being on an epic scale and all that jazz. I'm not usually a massive fan of Disney (except Aladdin of course) but this is definitely my fave Disney filma nd one of my fave films evar!

I watched Forbidden Kingdom last weekend. It was entertaining but then again I like to talk through movies.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #815 on:** May 06, 2008, 01:01:08 PM »

Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Still entertaining

A B grade educational film about the Odysey, followed closely by a very annoying one about Howard Carter which is the exact same shit I did last year, so I hated them both especially the one that killed the Odysey, it was messes up, stupid ugly cast and the ending was all wrong, he was supposed to kill everyone but he went all faggy and just shot a fuckin apple. I hated it!

Plus the dude really needed a shave and it made me nauseus. Damn school thingie, I preffered it when teachers just gave us stuff to write..... I hate answering questions which is what we what we had to do for those.

Patton

Edit:

Iron Man... definitely a fun movie to watch, Robert Downey Jr. did a good job as Tony Stark.
That little teaser after the credits was a helluva touch, with Sam Jackson as Nick Fury.

GO, SPEED RACER GOOOOOO!!

The Forbidden Kingdom

I really liked this movie a lot, and of course, having both Jet Li and Jackie Chan in it was the best.
The high point for me was the Jet/Jackie fight in the temple, without a doubt.

Edit:

A Bridge Too Far
