Apocalypse Now.

It was okay... I was expecting better given the talk surrounding it. I can appreciate the way it was shot and the allegorical nature of it, as well as the (intentionally) twisted manner of it. But I dunno, I just felt a bit bored some of the time.

Good film, but not great. Definitely one of the weirdest films I've seen mind you.

As long as you didn't watch the Redux edition, blm. *shudders*

You gotta admit though, the dialouge is amazing, and everyone loves the famous Ride of the Valkyries sceen.

Nah, watched the original format.

Good dialogue, yeah, and some powerful performances... but it just didn't do it for me. It is a well done film, I'm definitely not denying that, but does it rank amongst the best films I've ever seen? Certainly not.

Brando has such a strangely domineering presence on screen though, despite not actually being in the movie all that much.

Just watched a low budget movie called "Stake land"

Really nice vampire/post-apocalyptic movie. A bit shallow on the story/characters but I did really enjoy it!

Brando is an immense actor.

Robert duvall is great in the short time he's there too, delivering the two most remembered lines from the movie (besides "The horror... The horror...) in about 15 minutes

Toy Story 3.

Can't believe it's taken me so long to see it. Absolutely loved it, as is the case with about 95% of Pixar's films. Their films are such remarkable achievements.

During the trailers, I get quite jazzed to see it everytime an ape looks like it's scheming.

Probably gonna go see it today.

Saw it too, so damn amazing IMO, very well done.

Ceaser was badass which I found weird to say that to an ape lol.

His behavior and the way he looked so pissed off reminded me alot of characters like in Prototype or some cool action character in such a game lol.

Anyways, great movie, well done CGI too.
I actually thought it would be bad, but good to be proven wrong.

I'm gonna have to go see this now...

I heard The Smurfs presents itself as a kids movie but tries to get a moral dilema across pixar style but fails horrendously and just ends up looking creepy.

Not sure if it's true but I'm not about to go and see the smurfs to find out.

I heard they're making a Battleship movie too. I doubt that will be as cool as Clue though. Clue was a weird thing. Tim Curry rules.

Saw Super 8. Liked it a lot. Can see that Spielberg took a lot of inspiration from his own movies - namely ET and War of the Worlds amongst others - but there's certainly nothing wrong with that. It wasn't wholly original, and at times it was a tad cheesy, but I really enjoyed it and thought it had a lot of the ingredients you'd want a movie to contain. Classic Spielberg, really.

The kid actors were great as well. Very impressed with 'em.
