Watched 'Notorious' Last night...it was okay, but, they didn't pick an actor that looked like Sean Puffy Combs...everyone else looked that part. I just didn't get that?

Saw New Moon on Saturday night (Twilight Saga) and enjoyed this so much more than the first one!
It was more in line with the book and it was obvious there was a bigger budget as well as cast with this one!
Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Watched 2012 last night, good film, Has got to be watched in the movie theatre as the special effects are just amazing..

So many good movies coming out :)
"The Gate To The Mind's Eye" c. 1994
Computer animation set to the soundtrack by Thomas Dolby. It gives you a good idea of how far things have actually come in such a short period of time with regard to computer animation. This comes from the time when I was doing computer animation.
Here's a clip entitled "Big Bang Backwards".

I watched Planet of the Apes again. This time it was the 2001 version. I am liking this.......
As you guys may know, we had this movie thread on the EMB, and Gen was talking about Planet of the Apes, and we kind of made fun of it like as if it were a boring movie. and the truth was that I've never seen it...I just always assumed it was boring and never watched it. So, I promised her and others that one day I would watch it......so, now I am hooked..but, it comes on randomly...here and there, so I try to catch it, and I always tend to catch it on the late night tip. so, also, when I finished watching it, I then watched a documentary about Palestanian rappers....anyone seen this? It was awesome! Amazing! and as a black American, we know why we started hip hop. We wanted our voiced to be heard. And now adays, its mostly about bragging and women. But, in the doc, the Palestanians were explaining how they didn't even understand English, but when looking at the videos, they knew what we were talking about...they knew we were fighting a fight...they knew we were a voice that wanted to be heard...they knew we were telling a story they wanted the world to hear. And now they are following suite. the only thing that concerns me is that now a days, I don't think the average rapper even knows the effect we have on the planet. Rap can be a powerful tool...we need to start using it again in the way we intended in the beginning. I was very pleased with the documentary...but, they even were wearing their pants sagging. Us females well maybe I should say more mature females...we don't like that. We like the music, but the pants sagging thing....I sort of hate that we are influencing other children in other countries to wear thier clothes like that...because the thought is that the idea of pants sagging and clothes to large came from slavery days because the clothes didn't fit, and we couldn't have belts...which also represent prison attire........so, I think and wish rappers would be more responsible because obviously, rap is all over the world, and can be a tool to send a message...so, lets open our ears and eyes again....even above the sagging pants....LOL

Some say this film is on the egde of being in 'poor taste' ... but in retrospect, having watched it a while ago - it is so worth watching because of Robert Downey Jr's performance.
Be warned: there is swearing and some violent scenes in the trailor ... if it is found to be too offensive to anyone ... please let me know by PM and I will remove it. Thanks.
Oh no......:7hit (1):Quote:

Must admit I hated Tropic Thunder, even though I thought I'd love it. Robert Downey Jr was fantastic, but it was just in really bad taste and not funny enough to justify that (i'm not normally that easily offended either). The best bit of course was the trailer for a film about gay monks at the beginning, featuring none other than 'Sadeness' as the theme music! :)
.. i agree The Labrynth is a classic .. especially with David Bowie as the Goblin King ..wow what a title to have under your belt .. youre out and a kid points at you " look DAD thats the Goblin KING!! " and Robert Downey Jnr ..wow what talent ..hes deep in the spiritual way .. special .

DISTRICT 9
This is the next level in movies on Aliens.......Very different from all other movies i've seen,in this we humans segregate and shelter the Aliens......The movie itself is fast paced like a one long trailer......It's all just the beginning ,the movie ends well set for many sequels to follow !:Boy_yes3:
Stargazer...I saw District 9! Excellent film and very reminiscent of the apartheid era in South Africa.
I saw Avatar last night and I have to say...I want to see it again! This was so worth three hours of my time to watch and what a beautiful cinematic experience! We saw it in 3D and it is excellent and I cried a few times during the story but oh how it showed manking up for its need to strip resources from places!!
Wonderful and completely recommend this film!
