Good Movies

[DELTABRAT]

I know this may sound real...well...not "normal" for this board. But, has anyone seen any good movies lately. Please let me know what's out there (I've been in prison/summer session for the past 6 weeks). I can't think of a thing I may want to go pay $8.50 for these days.

Thanks http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

A really good movie to see is Shaft, directed by John Singleton. John Singleton, just happens to belong to the Grandest Fraternity of them all. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

"It's my duty to please that booty."

Damn, now that's acting. :P

[ZetaAce]

DELTABRAT- Prison, LOL! Summer Session really does suck! When I hear about that, it makes me glad I graduated. I have seen a few good movies this summer--

Shaft- I dug it. 'Nuff said!

Perfect Storm- Very powerful movie. I thought it was better cause I didn't read the book, and I was kind of touched by the ending.(Which is a pretty big deal since I usually go for action movies.)

Big Momma's House- Mindless fun, and Martin was hilarious!!

Gladiator- I love action movies, so I liked this. There were a couple of gory parts, but I thought it was enjoyable.

Mission Impossible II- Kinda slow in the middle, but the end made it worth it. Thandie Newton and Tom Cruise did a good job.

Gone in 60 Seconds-This is a good, 'check your brain at the door' type movie. If you're looking for a deep plot, I wouldn't suggest it, but if you want a mindless movie that you can just enjoy, then I say see it. The ending was high action.

ZetaAce

I'm going to see Scary Movie tomorrow, and I'll let you know about that. Can you tell I'm a movie buff?

[DELTABRAT]

Thanks ZetaAce and MandingoNupe. I actually did see Big Momma's House, MissionImpossible and The Perfect Storm. I forgot about Shaft (how could I?). I will see that one next then Scary Movie. Zeta Ace, let me know how Scary Movie is after you see it. Oops, I HAVE to see The Pokemon 2000, Rocky and Bullwinkle amd The Kid with my son and his dad first, then I can do Mommy stuff http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

[ZetaAce]

DELTABRAT- My sister took my nephew (he's 5) to see Rocky and Bullwinkle, she says she wished she waited for it to come to video. (just a little forewarning).

I don't think you can go wrong with Pokemon! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

You know what. It doues look a little"something" on the commercial. Additionally, the original cartoon was sorta back in the day. My son has NO frame of reference. Hell, I barely caught the originals truth be told. If there are animated characters in it, he tends to be excited. However, he wasn't exactly jumping out of his skin over this one. Thanks for the forewarning http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Please let me know about Scary Movie too, I love Marlon Wayans (I am probably the only one in the world who thinks he's...well...sorta...kinda...a little bit...cute (in a silly kind of way http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif)

You're not the only one. He grew up nicely. He darn sure wasn't cute in the least on In Living Color.

YOU ARE NOT!!!!!!!! I LOVE Marlon, my friends use to laugh because they thought Shawn was cute, but no! I's Marlon all the way!!! =) I can help with the Scary Movie reviews because I'm going to see it tomorrow too. Also look out for The Nutty Professor 2, I hear it's going to be the bomb.

I forgot about Nutty 2. Ms. Jackson If You're nasty is in that one, as well. I loved Nutty 1 so I look forward to Nutty 2. Wow!!! I can't believe I am not the only woman out there who thinks Marlon is a cutie http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Also, is anyone out there watching the Showtime episodes of Soulfood? What do you think of it?

[Siobhan]

If you're looking for some fun and a few good laughs I really enjoyed Chicken Run and Shanghi Noon http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Siobhan

[Wynna]

"Shanghai Noon" was the absolute bomb!!

"Me, Myself & Irene" was hilarious! (I like the silly comedies and I love Jim Carey)

Deltabrat: Girl, you are not alone. Marlon is way cute!

[AXO Alum]

I know you wanted to know what to see...but I personally did not like Me, Myself, & Irene! The only really funny parts involved the 3 sons. The rest of it was just Jim Carrey doing bit parts from all his prior roles (In Living Color, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar, etc.). It could have been a much better movie, but I think everyone was in such a hurry to put out some competition before Shaft was released (and I won't even start on that beautiful man!) I was disappointed because I generally LOVE Jim Carrey.

On the other note...I have always thought Marlon was the cutie pie! (But Shaft...um um um) I'm looking forward to the peer reviews of Scary Movie too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

ZetaAce...do we either need to raise money to support your habit or find you a good rehab? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

[onesavvydiva]

Well ya'll can HAVE Marlon...I want that sexy SHAWN, even though he can be kinda corny sometimes. But that's okay, he don't have to be funny, he can just sit there and look cute. WHEW!!! Hmm, anyway back to the topic...

I tend to wait for everything to come on video, my nickname is "Blockbuster Queen", (right after "Internet Junkie"), but I love to curl up and watch a good movie "a la VCR".

[tickledpink]

DELTABRAT, I'm usually a bit of a movie buff also, but lately I haven't had much time to see that much. I will give Shaft a THUMBS UP, though. I've seen it twice (...its down like WHOA)and loved it.

I'm personally waiting for X-Men to hit the theatres. I didn't like the cartoon, but the movie looks like the special effects alone will be worth the while. If you plan on calling it a "Blockbuster" night, you may want to add End of Days to your list. I have mixed feelings about The Green Mile, I read the mini books (die hard Stephen King fan), and it wasn't as good.

Ok, Ok, I'm through.

[ZetaAce]

AXO Alum- LOL, I have an AMC Movie Watcher card (I bet you don't know anyone with one of those do you!)and it is really beneficial. I have gotten lots of free stuff (everything from free popcorn to a free night at the movies + concessions for 2). I am quite the movie junkie. Plus, I am shameless so I still use my student ID and it's only $5! However, you are more than welcome to send money. If you do, I'll do a free movie review every week! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Am I the only one dreading X-Men? I'm going to go see it because I'm a sucker for action movies, but Halle Berry as Storm? What were they thinking?? And where are the outfits, what's up with all the leather?

If you are calling it a Blockbuster night, I say go for The Usual Suspects!

ZetaAce

PS>It's Keyser Sose!!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

[gloriajean]

If you are open minded to movies that are not quite as new, Primal Fear is a great movie with a twist. The Usual Suspects with "Kaiser Sose" was pretty good too (watch the movie and you'll see what we're getting at).

A terrific old movie is Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte with Bette Davis and also the original Psycho in black and white was very SCARY! Much more scary than the remake with Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche. I saw Mission Impossible 2, but was disappointed.

[SisterInChrist]

"Shaft" was beautiful. Everybody needs to see that. - I'm an X-man fan and I plan on going see it on my B-Day (July 16th ya'll, don't forget! What's up and happy birthday to all my cute Cancers out there!) Can't wait for Scary Movies. Marlon is such a cutie pie! Oh, Dogma was a very interesting movie (it gets a little sacreligious at times though). But if you love Chris Rock, then anything is forgivable.

Happy Early Birthday SisterInChrist!! (If you remind us again on the 15th, I will definitely remember on the 16th http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif)

You know, when I saw Dogma I thought the same thing at first, but when I saw it again on video, it makes some really interesting points about faith and religion. On the surface, it was just a funny movie, but it was actully pretty deep. (Chris Rock stole the show, too!)

Usual Suspects-Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time, but if you do watch it you have to actually watch. If you half watch it and chat and do other things when you are watching it, you aren't going to like it.

Hey Zeta Ace!-

I want to see X-Men too. But I thought I had heard a long time ago that Angela Bassett was going to play Storm. Since you know movie trivia, I'd thought I ask you!!

[Wynna]

I am an X-men fan too and I cannot wait to see this movie. Angela Bassett?? Angela, is a highly talented African American actress, but Halle Berry as storm probably makes more sense. They made her look just like Storm!

I thought Dinosaur was a cute movie.

[This message has been edited by Wynna (edited July 07, 2000).]

[Abundantly Blessed]

Speaking of being a "Blockbuster Queen", several movies that my hubby and I have rented lately and enjoyed (or at least I enjoyed them), were.


1."American Beauty" (Kevin Spacey)
2."Boy's Don't Cry" (with Hillary Swank)
3."The Insiders" (Al Pacino)

Next Friday was so-so for laughs, although I liked the original one much better, and ANYTHING with Nia Long and Samuel L.Jackson (they're my favorite actors).

[ZetaAce]

C&C- Originally Angela Basset was supposed to play storm but she backed out and they got Halle Berry to play storm.

Yes, she looks more like the Storm character, but Storm is BUFF! (Like Angella Basset) and she's powerful. When I think of Halle Berry, she just seems more fragile. I've never been a big Halle Berry fan, (especially after I saw B.A.P.S) so I might be a little bit biased. (Exception: She was excellent in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge)

ZetaAce

[Serenity]

I'm also one to make it a Blockbuster night. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Here are some of my favorites:

Sarafina with Whoppi Goldberg
Dogma with Matt Damon, Ben Aflect, and Chris Rock
America History X (I can't remember the actor's offhand)
Deep Blue Sea with LL Cool J
Anything with Will Smith, Nicholas Cage, or Samuel L. Jackson

Dang! Y'all are so lucky. Talking about which movies out of the abundant choices you have to go see. And I'm stuck in Korea where movie releases are like 4 months behind the US and only 1/2 of even the most popular movies find their way to Korea. Can't wait to get back to the US. I didn't even *know* there was a Shaft (or any of those movie titles all y'all named) coming out!

Is this on topic for greek chat? whatever. anyway, you all can have marlon because, funny though he is, I am not blind. and chris rock as a husband? well, i guess personality must be the leading factor http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

[DELTABRAT]

I have to agree that there is something about Chris Tucker. He is somewhat "juicy". Marlon is the BOMB!!! Shawn's shirts are too tight. I don;t tend to like that in a brothah. Samuel Jackson, I don't know. I hust remember him as Gator in Jungle Fever and I go hmmmm. He has come a looooooong way since then but I remember the bug eyes and the dancin' he weould do for the carck hits. Halle Berry was crazy looking in that one too.

Back to movies...

I have seen most of the ones on video. Edward Norton is the guy in AMerican History X and Primal Fear. He had BODY in American History ( how I concentrated on that while he was playing a Neo-Nazi Skinhead...who knows). I would like to see Sliding Doors and I tried to watch Fallen but I kept "fallen" asleep so I don't know what happens. My mom rented Green Mile and I will say it was GOOD!! I was hesitant to see all the "yessa bossa"-ness but it turned out to be good.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. Zeta Ace DO NOT forget about the movie review for Scary Movie.

PEACE ALL!!!

Do you remember Samuel L's cameo in "Coming to America"? I watched it recently and was like, "man, he's come a loooong way!" The man is bad!!!

Hello All! I just came back from seeing Scarey Movie. It was pretty funny (not side-splitting), but darn funny nonetheless. If you liked "Road Trip" and "American Pie", you'll love this flick. What amazes me is how they got away with an R-rating. It should have been NC-17 if not borderline X-rated. I lie to you not, there was very life-like testicles and penises hanging (can I say those words here?!?) In one scene, there's more cum (I definitely don't think I can say that word), than all of us in this forum alone have seen. If you don't mind gross stuff like this, then I recommend the movie! For the record, marlon is very cute, but I think Shawn is sexier in a more mature, handsome way. I do agree, however, that the tight shirts must go!

[One of a kind]

Two thumbs up for SCAREY MOVIE! It was pretty funny, not side-splitting, but dam funny. If you liked "American Pie" and "Road Trip", you'll love this one! There are some BUCK WILD, GROSS ASS scenes but if you don't mind Testicles, Penises being thrust in odd body parts, and semen gushers...then this is the right flick for for you!

[Salience]

Look, y'all I have no shame: "Chicken Run" was GREAT!

I rented "American Beauty" and it was really good. I knew what was going to happen, but I loved it anyway.

As far as "The Usual Suspects:" I think that was obvious halfway through, but I love this one phrase: "He'll flip ya! he'll flip ya!"

I'm with you Onesavvydiva,

I like anything with Harrison Ford, Denzel, Nicholas Cage, or Nia Long...got to stop there though. I'm not a Jim Carey or Chris Tucker fan.

I also agree with the Marlon thing. You guys have got to be kidding - Marlon Wayans is cute?!?!

Back to Nicholas Cage, my favorite Nicholas movie is "The Rock" - but wait, maybe I like that movie because it also has Sean Connery in it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Oh yea, I also like Antonio Banderas (sp) and Anthony Hopkins, and Cuba Gooding, Jr, and of course anything with Angela Bassett.

Now, why haven't any of you blockbuster fans mentioned my all time favorite sci-fi movie? Are there any "Matrix" fans out there?

Back to recent movies, I loved "Shaft" cracked my side watching "Big Momma's House" and it's a shame but I haven't seen anything else. I do plan to see the X-men as soon as I can bribe one of my friends into babysitting for me.

I saw Scary Movie also. It had it's funny parts,... hilarious even. But, I didn't quite expect the borderline XXX parts! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Ooops! Sorry for the (sort of) duplicate posts...there was a problem with the first one (so I thought), hence the second one. The classroom scene with the cigarette smoking teacher was hilarious! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the rating should have been more than R.

[MOCHA]

I thoroughly enjoyed "Big Momma's House", but I must agree with AXO ALUM concerning "Me, Myself, and Irene". I did not like the movie; it wasn't as funny as some of Jim Carrey's other movies.

I love any movies with Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, Harrison Ford, &/or Nia Long. Going waaayyyy back, did anyone see "Love Jones"? I don't think that movie was as well received as it should have been. It was a good movie.

Taykimson, I agree with your assessment of "The Matrix", I think that's my favorite sci-fi movie. I usually don't like action movies, but that movie was excellent.

[SisterInChrist]

Salience- you are not they only one who saw chicken run! Me and my little brother were laughing like we had just smoked some of that silly weed! Big Momma's house had me slapping my best friend, because my laughing started getting a little out of control. Road Trip was very funny- especially the secret hand shake with the black frat. I can still watch the Matrix and be amazed in the first five minutes with Trinity's frozen leap. Love and Basketball was a beautiful movie. My favorite of all times has to be Friday because I live between Normandie and Western http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif (ya'll know what I'm talkin' about!!)
And speaking of Samuel L. Jackson - if you saw Shaft and Pulp Fiction (another great movie) did you hear his "This is some repugnant shit" line in both movies?

Universal Soldier II - pointless but great brainless entertainment
Three Kings - gory
Green Mile - great story
House on Haunted Hill - freaky mind twister

I have always been a Whoopi Goldberg fan and rent one of these if I can't think of anything else:
Jumping Jack Flash - old, but still one of her best!
Burgler - '80's comedy, but great
Corina Corina - great story

Scary Movie was off the chain. I am sitting hear laughing as I think about it. some of the scenes were a little past risque (I hope I spell that right), but overall it was a good movie.

I just rented Sleepy Hollow from pay per view. I haven't seen anything that graphic since Braveheart. I loved the movie, even though I had to watch it several times to get the full picture because my digital cable keeps doing this funny "digital squares" thing. I recommend it (if no one here hasn't already) but it is NOT for the weak stomached.

Let's see...what movies have I seen this summer so far...:
Mission Impossible II: Ok, it was pretty interesting, but it only got real good towards the end. So basically, you'd be paying $8.50 for 35 minutes worth of action.
Big Mommas House: It was OK. If you want to see it, catch a matinee( I hope I spelled that right http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I saw scary movie the other day and found it quite funny. I probably found it funnier talking about the movie afterwards than when i was sitting through it. Some of the scenes were so stupid you couldn't help but laugh. It's definitely something you go see with a group of your friends for a few laughs.

[gloriajean]

Please tell me the name of this film!!....
There is an independent film out that I really want to see. I can't remember the name but I think it's called "Brothers" or something like that.

It is about hazing, and 3 guys...2 are white, 1 is black and the black guy is denied fraternity membership based on his race. Hazing incidents then ensue against the black guy, and the white guys have to self-examine their loyalty to their black friend. I would like to see this movie, so if someone out there knows the name, I would greatly appreciate it if you would post it!
Please and thank you!

X-Men- SUCKED!

Excuse me, did I say sucked? Cause I meant to say: SUPER SUCKED BEYOND BELIEF!

ZERO plot development
ZERO character development
Halle Berry as Storm- Better than I thought it would be.
WHERE are the outfits? They had on black leather. Black leather!! And then they had the nerve to make a joke about it.
I am not a huge X-Men fan, I like it, but I'm not a fanatic about it and the movie just seemed a little hollow. Some cool special effects, but just wack in general. The movie was so bad that I actively considered just getting up and leaving.

If you are going to not heed my advice and go see it anyway, go to the matinee.

Two thumbs up! The Klumps was hilarious! it starts off a little slow, but once it takes off...it doesn't stop! Go and see it ASAP!!

[tickledpink]

Thanks Mocha!

[tickledpink]

I saw Godzilla 2000. Word of caution to those who may not have heard about it yet ---it's nothing like the last one. It's more like the old, old Godzilla movies, and the entire movie was in "voice-overed" English, meaning the actors were speaking Japanese. I was so disappointed that I went to sleep.

So, if you're an old Godzilla style movie fan, you'll like this one, but if not, you may want to wait for the $1.50 flick.

[Sexy Mocha]

I finally saw "What Lies Beneath" last night. Can someone PLEASE explain to me what the significance was of the couple next door? Was it to throw us off? Just curious. Is there anyone in here who saw and actually enjoyed this 10 hour movie??

[tickledpink]

Mocha, girl I thought it was just me. I went to see it last night too. I really liked some parts of it, but I could've waited for the $1.50 version! I think that the neighbor next door thing was to throw us off and add a little more horror. Some one said that it was like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and it was. It was a bit ironic, though. She was so busy worrying about them... well, I won't give too much away. I think instead of the neighbors, they should have focused more on the car accident --- when that came up I was like -- "did I miss something?". I'm sorry, but the polariod just wasn't enough.

I am a movie lover, some movies that I have seen and loved
THE SKULLS (secret society) *****

Zeta Ace, I am a an AMC Movie Watcher as well.

I liked the Klumps better than Big Momma's House. It took the second viewing of BMH for 50 cents (COLUMBUS, OHIO --Carriage Place Cinema on BEthel Road) to actually get some laughs.

Scary Movie was da*n near X-rated!!

Did anyone ever see that Jamie Foxx movie that came out right after Love and Basketball (***************) where he was Nia Long's man held up in a dairy mart store. I think it is called HELD UP!! It was only out for about a week. He has a new movie coming out in September called BAIT.

[moe.ron]

I know two movies I'm wating for next year, Star Wars (rumor is Samuel L. Jackson is the next Aprentice of the Sith, say it ain't so) and Spider Man (Tobey Maguire, you got to be kidding me). Plus, I've herd that Ghost Rider and Superman is comming out really really soon. And do not forget about Matrix 2. But the greatest movie this year, CHIKEN RUN!!!!!!! Worst movie, MI:2, should be retitled Impossible. No plot, not development, really bad dialogue. I actually left the theater and ask for my money back.

Ok now, I must be slow or something (or maybe I missed some scenes during the ten or so naps I took) but, what WAS significant about the car accident???
Sometimes there can be an overkill on "throwing the audience off"...I just didn't get it...I guess I need to watch it again!

Worst movie, MI:2, should be retitled Impossible. No plot, not development, really bad dialogue. I actually left the theater and ask for my money back.

I considered asking for my money back. But then I realized it wasn't the money that got to me. It was the fact that I wasted more than 2 hours of my life with that garbage.

But I *adored* Chicken Run! I can't wait until its out on DVD!

I recently saw "finding Forrester"
which reminds me somewhat of "scent of a woman"

"Almost Famous" is another very, very great movie I recently saw-go buy them today

If you liked movies like American Beauty and The Virgin Suicides, i would recommend seeing The Wonder Boys, i thought it was great. I love Tobey Maguire!
