Just watched Eagle Eye, and I thought it was really good
It stars the guy from transformers and he does a good job. Good action scenes, good plot. Worth watching

I would rank it about level with Die Hard 4.0 for believability of plot and stunts. The big golden globes in the computer's 'brain' left me wondering if I hadn't tripped back in time 30 years as far as design was concerned.

I liked about three quarters of Sunshine. I thought it was one of the most believable, well designed sci-fi films I had seen in a while - until it drifted off into Event Horizon territory at the end.

Gran Torino shows you can still make great films in an old fashioned way. Clint has refused to jump onto the Tony Scott/Michael Bay hyper-kinetic bandwagon, and uses good, old fashioned film making techniques to make film that has character and story at the core. It isn't greatest film ever made, or even his best film (as actor or director), but it is solid work. And people went and saw it anyway. (It also make's Clint the greatest box office star of all times, with US box office numbers ones in every decade since the 60's - pretty good going).

Body of Lies was also far better than I expected it to be.

I don't know about that one. Shia is pretty good. Despite what some had said I liked him in Indy 4 and Transformers was good.

The thing about that EAGLE EYE movie is isn't it just a giant ripoff on the first MATRIX movie? I mean not the bullet time or anything like that. What irks me is the trailer shows him getting a heads up on an explosion and he goes "how are you doing this" or something like that.

I mean that is like verbatim from the first Matrix when Morpheus is trying to guide Neo out of his office when the Agents are coming to get him. Hardly original.

I mean I know Matrix isn't the only movie that can do that it just kind of cheapens this movie for me a little and loses interest in it for me.

BUt I won't put anyone down who likes it. Just doesn't seem worthwhile to me.

What's the subject line of this thread yado?
I don't like this movie?
I don't like your movie?

At least list a movie you like







Back to the subject.
88 minutes was a movie that turned out to be better than I thought it would be. I had to watch it twice just to make sure a caught everything. Too bad it didn't get that good of ratings

Sorry - didn't like 88 minutes, or Righteous Kill, or Anamorph. Felt like a lot of once great actors just taking a paycheck and slumming through retirement. They seemed poorly scripted, predictable, and badly directed. Over here they are all getting the Direct-to-DVD treatment.

In Bruges is very black, extremely offensive, and very good.

And if you like films about films, see Not Quite Hollywood, a brilliant and loving documentary on the Australian exploitation film scene of the 70's and 80's. Wonderful fun.

I liked 88 minutes as well. It had me second guessing myself right up until the end.
