CCL Messageboard

This is the thread to make comments or short reviews about the last movie you saw. Or just drop in and tell us what you watched.

I just watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the sequel to the original film (which most people seem to agree that the original was good). And it's not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Sure, it's not in same caliber as Night of the Living Dead or 28 Days Later. But it was still a very enjoyable little flick. It certainly wasn't as bad as House of the Dead was.

Well, I was just getting into Underworld (for the 50th time), until I was kicked off of the TV for "The Suite Life on Deck"...*barf*

Fell asleep to Blade II last night.
As far as anime, currently I'm watching Blassreiter (sp?) volume 2.

I rented Devil and it was awesome!

watched Gran Turino on HBO... very good movie.

Watched Inception yesterday. It was a good movie, worth watching, not a casual view though.

Just got through the first 'round' of Code Geuss a week ago, had to start over a couple of times because of the availability on Netflix(there one flaw). This series may not be my fav of all but it isn't far off. Awsome all the way through. A lot of thought went into making this show. Not your average anime. Can't wait for R2 to come available.

The Invisible Invaders (1959). Black and white 50s sci-fi movie. Great cheesy fun. The aliens are radioactive and invisible. However they can also inhabit dead human bodies, which cannot be killed.

I've been wondering if this was worth a rental I just might have to check it out.

Saw The Green Hornet yesterday. Decent movie. Good mix of action and comedy. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't in 3-D. 1) I have to wear the 3-D glasses over my own and it sucks, and 2) 3-D movies give me headaches.

Beetlejuice.

watched Angels & Demons last night.. didn't plan on watching the whole thing but i got sucked in and couldn't stop. same thing happened with the book.

I watched 007: Goldfinger. It was one of the better Bond movies. A Sean Connery Bond movie. But I couldn't help but laugh every single time I heard Pussy Galore's name.

A-Team. Other than that I have not had that much time as far as tv/movies go.

HANNAH AND HER SISTERS (1986)
I typically prefer Woody Allen's - as the Stardust Memories line goes - , "earlier funnier work," but this story is engrossing. Unrequited love is a horrible (banned) goddess.

Pirahna 3-D on Blu Ray (minus the 3-D). Made me wish I had seen it in 3-D. A great movie on so many levels.

The Shadow, 1940 Serial. It was your basic, black & white, action serial. From Columbia. The Shadow is your basic masked-detective character fighting mobsters controlled by a mysterious masked leader (actually invisible leader in this case) that is unmasked at the end. They don't even include The Shadow's mystical abilities like clouding men's minds and actually becoming invisible in the shadows.

So meh. It's alright if your into serials, but nothing different here.

MAMMA MIA!
Sure it's a total chick flick, but I grew up listening to ABBA, and it had a fun, enjoyable story, great cast, great music, and Amanda Seyfried's big jiggling...eyes.

watched Whiteout on HBO last night.. only good thing about it was Kate Beckinsale in her underwear. At the end I prayed for those 90 minutes of my life back.
