Favorite Movie So Far This Year?
« on: June 15, 2008, 09:57:01 PM »
I'm sorry Indy... but I loved Sweeney Todd. I'm not usually a musical fan, but this one was great. Not many movies appeal to the dark humor side of me.

I'm still holding out for the new batman however.

Iron Man trumped Indiana Jones....although both were good.  The story line in Indiana Jones seemed dated:  Jones searches for ancient artifact;  bad guys try to keep him for finding it;  he finds it anyway;  they take it from him;  he takes it back;  they re-take it from him;  rinse and repeat.  Bad guys get zapped and or dissolved by ancient god/demon/alien and help Jones prevail.

I would just like to see a movie that isn't comic based or is a sequel to a movie made during the technicolor years.  Something new and fresh, totally original.

Not to mention the entire movie looked like it was setting up for Indy sequels for years to come.

Dont think I've seen any movies from this year yet.

I only go to the movies to see epics.
And now with a 50" TV I dont even do that.
I just wait for em to come out on DVD

That's more or less what I do.  Only if it's a movie that I have to see, which has not been for quite a while now, will I go to the movies.

btw looks like Hollywood is saturating us with comic based movies this year. They might even start milking manga titles by 2009/10.

If there is any new movie that can beat How She Move in quality of plot, cinematography, editing, soundtrack, or anything, it is news to me. It is truly a celluloid masterpiece worthy of a place next to such greats as Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Chinatown, and Apocalypse Now.

Did their budget run out of money for an extra 's'?

For last year though I have to say that Across The Universe sort of blew me away.
