PostSubject: Terminator Salvation on Blu Ray   Movie Recommendations and Rejections. EmptySun Dec 20, 2009 5:17 pm

Terminator Salvation on Blu Ray

Just got a Blu Ray player for the first time and I have to say they are quite impressive to watch movies on.

Terminator Salvation did not do to good at the movies but its one of my favorites. I was hoping they would make another one to show a ending to the war. But its not looking to likely.

Also another fun one we got was 12 Rounds.

Well if they would stuck to the storyline of the first movie than it would have been a good movie. But when they get off track then things go bad and they wonder why. Plus I hear the batman voice didn't help out any.

PostSubject: A couple of movies you may like.   Movie Recommendations and Rejections. EmptyWed Dec 23, 2009 11:36 am

As an early Christmas present I received a couple of movies that you may not have heard of.
Ink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZUK9HOT5HY
and
Fissure http://www.fissure.tv/

Maybe it's because I read more than I watch TV or movies anymore,but I am so unimpressed by anything on except for Flash Forward,Lost and Fringe.And movies are all effects and little or no story.Both of these movies are indie productions with less emphasis on the effects and more on the story and characters.
Fissure is a detective-cop movie with a science fiction mystery story line.
Ink is a fantasy with some of the most powerful and memorable scenes I have ever seen in a movie.
Anyway I think they are both well worth the buy or rent,I think they are on Netflicks.

Found Ink on Hulu. Reading the comments about it I suppose im in the minority. But I cant say I enjoyed the movie. After 40 minutes I just couldnt watch it anymore because I just couldnt get into the story line.

Sherlock Holmes movie

I have to say I really enjoyed this movie. It had action, suspense, great actors and really good writers to make it worth seeing. This one will be on my Blu Ray collection when it comes out. And for the most part it is kid safe for them to watch. They left it open for a part two of course.

Martin Downey has really gotten his act together and has become one of my favorite actors lately.

I would just about be tempted to go to the movies to see this one.It looks good.Inglorious Basterds is on pay-per-view already so I don't think I'll have to wait long,and just sit here in my recliner and not have to put up with the crowd.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE MOVIE GREEN ZONE!

Just horrible movie that is trying to rewrite history about the Iraq war and WMD in Iraq. The movie made it look like we treated all prisoners bad. That our special forces is not trustworthy and just brutal killers. And finally making it look like WMD never existed and we tried to hide it even before the war started. This movie made me sick!

Less than a week after "The Hurt Locker" won the Oscar for Best Picture, along comes Matt Damon in "The Green Zone," another look at the Iraq War that has some critics seeing red.

While "The Hurt Locker" was largely apolitical in its stance on the war, some say "The Green Zone" goes too far in blaming the United States government, and that it manipulates the audience into rooting against American troops.

The movie centers on Army Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, played by Damon, who is assigned to search for weapons of mass destruction in the weeks following the shock-and-awe campaign of 2003. When Miller encounters roadblocks in his search, he launches a one-man internal investigation into the United States government's intelligence gathering operations, forming a secret alliance against the men he is sworn to protect in order to get the bottom of what he believes is a conspiracy.

SLIDESHOW: The 20 Greatest War Films.

Given this set-up, audiences are encouraged to root for Miller's rogue activities and against the government, represented in the film by a corrupt Pentagon chief played by Greg Kinnear.

From "All Quiet on the Western Front" to "The Hurt Locker," FOX411 presents the 20 best combat films ever made ... PLUS 10 more chosen by YOU!

The line between good guy and bad guy becomes fuzzy -- so much so that audiences are unsure whether to cheer on Sunni Iraqi insurgents as they shoot down a helicopter filled with American soldiers sent to assassinate them on the Pentagon's request.

Movie reviewer Kyle Smith went so far as to label the film "slander" and "appallingly anti-American."

"It's one thing to make a fantasy film laced with snarky jibes at the United States and its military," Smith wrote in the New York Post this week. "It's of another order entirely for an American studio (Universal, a unit of GE) to perpetrate, during an ongoing war, such vicious anti-American lies disguised as cheap entertainment.

"'Green Zone' isn't cinema," Smith wrote. "It's slander. It will go down in history as one of the most egregiously anti-American movies ever released by a major studio."

The Buffalo News reported that two older couples walked out of a Tuesday night screening of the film, but the News' arts editor, Jeff Simon, was kinder than Smith in his evaluation. He wrote that the movie is "good in almost exactly the way film audiences have found off-putting about a war we're still ashamed to think too much about."

The film's star, for one, sits squarely in the camp of actors often labeled as the Hollywood liberal elite, says Tim Graham, director of media analysis for the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog group.

"I don't think there is any doubt of where Matt Damon falls in the political spectrum. He is an outspoken liberal and earnest about it," Graham told Fox411. "He's not doing it to get ahead. It would be one thing if you had an actor in this movie who is not very political, but it is another thing when you have an actor who picks vehicles like this because it gives them the chance to espouse their political views in a fictional format."

Universal declined comment for this story.

Tackling an ongoing and polarizing conflict like the Iraq war is no small feat, said war reporter Stephanie Gaskell, who traveled to Iraq in 2007.

"The war in Iraq has deeply divided our country, so it makes sense that moviegoers will be divided over 'Green Zone'," she told Fox411. "I think we saw with 'The Hurt Locker' that Americans may not be ready to deal with the politics of the Iraq war yet. That's why 'Hurt Locker' was so well received, because it didn't delve into all that."

Director Paul Greengrass, best known for his success with the action-packed Jason Bourne franchise, also starring Damon, and the 9/11 film "United 93" brought in veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to play secondary roles in "Green Zone." Some were selected from the anti-war group of returning soldiers, "Iraq Veterans Against the War."

In an interview with Charlie Rose this week, Greengrass said the issue at hand isn't whether you are for or against the war.

"The problem, I think, for me is that something about that event strained all the bonds and sinews that connect us all together," he said. "For me it’s to do with the fact that they said they had the intelligence, and then it emerged later that they did not."

Robert Miller, who served in the Army's 82nd paratrooper unit from 2001 to 2005 was one of the Iraq veterans who was cast as a soldier in the movie. He says he thinks it is unfortunate that some critics are painting the film in a negative light.

"I would take offense if there was anything that was anti-troops in the movie or that I thought was despicable, but there isn't. It's an action movie," Miller told Fox411.

"It's just entertaining. I enjoyed it when I watched it. I wouldn't say it's an actual depiction of events that happened over there. It's Jason Bourne does Iraq."

I know but I enjoyed the Bourne movies, and expected something like that. But even the action sucked in this movie. This movie really pissed me off and now I have to go over to my wifes friends house for her birthday and she is a flaming liberal. And likes to start crap with me about global warming and how great Obama is. Im going to have to really work hard to keep my mouth shut for my wifes sake.

Iron Man 2.

Went and watched Iron Man today thought it was well done thought Mickey was great. Was disapointed that the guy that played the original Rhodes didn't play that part again. But I did not think it was quite as good as the last one.

I want to see the movie this weekend if I can figure out how to get out of going to a friend of a friends wedding. Any chance for my wife to get dressed up she will take it. Getting dressed up for me is the next worse thing from the plague.

I haven't seen it yet, and in general every single remake I've seen has sucked. That said, I've actually been pretty impressed with the previews I've seen.The guy playing BA seems to do a good job, at least in the previews. And the movie looks good. Only thing that looked bad to me so far was the latest preview were they show them firing a tank as it falls from a airplane. Not only does that seem ridiculous, but the CGI in that clip looks real bad.

However, I do plan on watching this when it comes out on dvd. And I have hopes for it.
