This movie made me lightheaded...in an extremely good way.I didn't watch it before becouse my sister say'd it was crappy and that jim cary shouln'dt be in serious films.After seeing this (and le truman show) I strongly disagree, both the statement of jim cary not in serious films and that the film was crappy.

One of my new favourites!

My top 5 now is

1.waking life
2.koyanisqatsi (and the other qatsi's)
3.Slacker
4.Pi
5.Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

yeah, my movie taste kicks butt !

I think Jim Carry's best roles are serious ones. I love ESOASM and Waking Life too, I need to check out the others.

An Inconvenient Truth

I saw The Fountain twice over thanksgiving weekend and I have to say that movie was amazing. I had been looking foward to it a good while and despite all my expectations I was not the least bit dissapointed.
Definitely one of the most emotional and powerful movies i've ever seen, especially the second time. Aronofsky is a genius.

How so? I want to see it! Anyways, the last movie I thought rocked was, ohk, two movies. Sereniity and Day of The Dead whic h ifinally got around to seeing. But Serenity was awesome, cept the ending which I passed out and missed a bit of.

The original Day Of The Dead? George Romero's Day Of The Dead? Did you like it? It's been one of my favorite horror movies for years. It's the most nightmarish and dark of the whole zombie series.

The same bastards who remade Dawn are remaking Day as well... and it looks terrible.

On top of that, there was also Contagium... which was a load of shit... and apparently the same people that made Contagium were working on a pre-quel... why can't they leave the classics alone?

Yeaaah sunny it was the original. Of course. It was pretty sick.

Somewhere between the tribesman being tricked into eating tapir balls and the man with blood squirting out of his brain and the woman giving birth (in great detail) in the water... I decided that Mel Gibson is starting to just get gross.

And on top of that, there is little or no characterization, and so it just becomes one of those movies that makes you wonder why anything exists anywhere with the kind of abject cruelty that you sit through throughout that entire film.

I never saw Passion of the Christ, but now I'm positive I'm never going to. Apocalypto was damn near sadistic.

Look, A Scanner Darkly is an excellent book. I've read it twice. But Linklater screwed up on the screen play for that film. Visually, musically, it was cool. If you've read the book, cool. But if you haven't read the book, good luck sorting that one out.

You use the word "gross" often. If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. The Passion of the Christ wasn't shocking at all. I liked it and even have it on dvd. I can't wait too see Apocalyto.

Open your eyes and take a look at the world! Give me one good reason why Mel Gibson is a sick bastard?

sevenELIXIR · Post by **sevenELIXIR** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 7:06 pm

the 2 most notable movies I can think of that struck me recently are Deep Blue, a documentary the BBC was involved with about ocean life on earth, and An Inconvenient Truth, also a documentary type film about Al Gore's slide show presentation on global warming. those are probably the best two films I've seen this year. I also liked Click with Adam Sandler, that was pretty good too
