New Favorite Movie

District 9.
Absolutely brilliant. I have to rave about it somewhere and it just so happened I was logged on

I mean, great effects...story to match...and really, just one of those movies I will won't soon forget.


Spoiler. I love how in the beginning the writer forces you to think the aliens are these horrible creatures...then as the story progresses you as the viewer are slapped in the face. I litterally felt bad about "judging" the aliens. Jesus chris that was such a great form of poetic criticism of mankind. Anyone else see this movie? If not, you need to watch it. My new favorite, hands down.

ANYWAY!...other than that, anyone have any good suggestions for a guy stuck in his LAX Courtyard Marriot hotel room with Netflix?
Watching Jarhead right now...already not really liking it...so someone give me a suggestion quick! heheh

Cheers!

the hurt locker is worth watching (its very unrealistic, but its good)
another good movie is Green Zone

I have to recomend Red Cliff..it's a amazing movie, just saw it today on netflix.

The red baron is also pretty good.

And if your in the mood for a pretty amusing comedy set in WW1 Black Adder season 4 is amazing (think ww1 is season 4)

We were soldiers=WIN.

Shutter Island was great! District 9 was too liberal for my tastes, but had good special effects.

By the way, I also enjoyed D9. Watched it several times.
Marley and Me is a great movie, if you're into those kinda movies....Or even if you're not I guess because I'm not. Just be careful; it'll have you in tears!

United 93 and World Trade Center were both great.

District 9 was meh in my opinion.

Netflix has Law Abiding Citizen on it now for instant view, decent movie i thought.

A good movie. . . in no particular order

The Original Karate Kid, Part 1

Enemy at the Gate

Wind Talkers (REALLY GOOD)

Cast Away

Road to Perdition

Just about ANY Tom Hanks Film, including any toy story (I love my cartoons).

Catch me if you Can.

They are all really good.

Platoon FTW.

The Book of Eli was pretty kickass too

Alright so soon after my post, I got sick of watching half-naked marines wrestling...so I turned off JARHEAD.
Not my kind of movie...

So I went and watched World Trade Center.
Real good. I love Craig Armstrong's composing, never knew he did the score for World Trade Center.

Then I saw Letters From Iwo Jima.
Well, the first 45 minutes or so...then I got room service and I really couldn't watch that while eating, so I turned flipped through the TV and watched Burn Notice heheh.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. That was the best marathon evah! heheh

I found a movie review in an old Time magazine...its called "Waltz with Bashir".

Its described as "An Israeli film director interviews fellow veterans of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon to reconstruct his own memories of his term of service in that conflict."
So I'm like "ok...that might be interesting". Then I kept reading and I found that it is actually an animated movie! I guess they took the original documentary footage and drew over it...it sounds really cool to me. Anyone seen it? I'm going to see if I can find it on Netflix.

i know of a movie called "Lebanon" that just came out last year
its about an israeli tank crew and how the war looks from inside their tank.
i thought it was very interesting the little that i saw.

Law Abiding Citizen

A heart warming tale of one mans struggle to see that justice is served for the crimes commited against him and his family.

Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, pretty much anything with Clint Eastwood in it is good.

You might like No Man's Land. It's a foreign film that's spoken nearly entirely in Serb (I think), but it's still a pretty good flick.

I saw Toy Story 3 on opening day, and I have to say, it was great!

Clint Eastwood is the best! when i was reading this that is exactly what I was thinking(Clint Eastwood). When I saw that I was like woah. Now i forgot the movie I was thinking of. Hmmmmmmm... OH YA! Transporter any of them all great.

OMGUZZARRO TOY STORY 3 CAME OUT I FORGOT!!
BRB GUYS *grabs coat and hat off the rack and rushes out the door*

Like a said in some other thread, Jarhead sucked \"Watch your language\"

Battle at shaker heights is definitely worth watching if you can find it.

My GF and I went and saw The A-Team on the 18th...amazingly funny....only saw it once and was "distracted" alot so can\'t tell ya about the effects quality or anything....District 9 is amazing..I just saw it 2 weeks ago on cinemax and was blown away. The main guy in D9 plays Murdock in The A-Team and he is the funniest guy ever!

hahahahahaha I had the same "problem" when I saw avatar. The A-team did look good.

I saw Avatar this weekend actually and my GF was not around so I got to watch it. Im going to watch it tonight again.

Going to go see A-Team tomorrow night with a friend ( ). I love the old TV series so i'm hoping this new movie does it justice.

Avatar... Blech... I couldn't stand that movie. The best part was when humanity started moving through the jungle jackin' sh1t up! And then they died, and I was ready for the movie to end again.

Have to agree. Although my favorite part was when they blew up home tree the casualties consisted of 3,000 blue people, 15 caterpillars, and an entire factory of keebler elves.

DIE KEEBLER ELVES!!!!!!!!! I loved that scene.
