Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)

I can't believe that the entire movie was going fine (for me) until the end, damn it.
But I thought it was very cool movie, good feel, cool atmosphere, good score pieces (especially with huge scenery, I got goosebumps a few times).
*A New Form of Change*
And for no good reason other than I'm a glutton for punishment, I watched Ste... ugh... Step Up 2. Some of the dancing was good but not really much better than what's been on that American dance group show. The rest of the movie sucked balls and was made worse still by having Missy Elliot's "Ching-a-Ling" song(read:abortion) in it.
crash - exceeded my expectation. i usually sceptical about movies featuring hip hop musician (ludacris). but this movie was good, strong message, if you live in american society, you understand the reality its trying to portray
You can dream all you want, kid, but it won't do any good 'cause when you wake up again you'll realize nothing has changed.
Be Kind Rewind
I don't think everyone will like this film, but me and the other half certainly enjoyed it.
Couldn't stop laughing during the Ghost Busters scene. Especially the part when they figure out how to shoot night scenes during the day. oho that was brilliant, just thinking about it makes me chuckle.
The film has an undeniable 'feel good movie' theme running through it, but its not too in-your-face and cheesy, so I approve.
Oh and I'm currently in the process of re-watching the Bourne trilogy. I forgot how good the first film is.
I've watched three of Satoshi Kon's movies now - this, Perfect Blue and Paprika - and I'm turning into quite the devoted fan. Frankly, I think Tokyo Godfathers is up there with Hayao's Miyazaki's best.
When it comes to emotion though, nothing (including any of Miyazaki's films) holds a candle to Grave of the Fireflies, which continues to be the benchmark in that department.
I love good animated movies. I love good animation period. While it's not a movie I feel like taking this opertunity to plug the OAV release, Abenobashi Magical Shopping District. If you're into anime, it's a must see.. and it's especially entertaining for those movie and game geeks out there who can really appreciate the parody aspect of the series. It's a bit like FLCL, thematically, only better (which is ridiculous praise, because there are few OAV's out there that are better than FLCL).
Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime.
Although Satoshi Kon's movies are often bordering on (or crossing the line of) surreal, they connect on a very human level in a way that really, really appeals to me.
I saw Milennium Actress yesterday and I thought that was absolutely wonderful too. Made me cry twice. :|

One he did suck in however was Jumper, which I watched recently. I was entertained a bit, and I've had a thing for Rachel Bilson for awhile. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless it happened to be on tv on night and they had nothing better to do.

Well I watched Dan in Real Life, kinda good movie, but I'm tired of such "comedies".
Hitman : pretty good, even if they transformed the videogame, the movie was very good, I was impressed. I thought it would suck, but it does not. Rent it!
If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.

I'm going to watch Sicko tonight, should be a nice change of pace.
UFC 2009, Its going to be the best game ever.
Anyone that calls themselves a "Hardcore Gamer" seriously needs to reevaluate their lives.

Regardless, it's one of the best documentaries I think I've ever seen.
(haven't watched it, just wondering)
Anyway, speaking of documentaries I watched King of Kong a couple nights ago and it was pretty flippin awesome.
I will never forget it.
The triumph!
The Nerds!
The Donkeys!
The Dark Knight
I just can't believe that America of all countries has a Health system like that. And that the Government is not doing anything to change it. EDIT: In fact they are doing everything in their power to keep it that way! Shocking!
Our NHS is far from perfect but it seems like a godsend compared to the American one.
That film is a real eye opener that's for sure.

Special interest groups get in the way of how we run our federal government. Never mind all of the right wing nut jobs that equate socialism to evil, and think that any form of social support is a crutch that only serves to damage capitalism, and our republic.
There is hope.. but this has been a serious issue for the better (or worse) part of the last several decades, and it has only gotten worse. It can still get better though, and public awareness of our alternatives are at an all time high.
People need to get pissed and demand change, or nothing will ever happen.
I will say that Jumper is probably better than some of those older Superman movies. I watched Superman 3 recently, and boy oh boy that was a complete write-off. Not entirely surprising that the new Superman movie wasn't too great either.

And yeah, sorry for de-railing the thread there.
ON TOPIC:
I watched that film that you guys were talking about, Tokyo Godfathers. Thought it was pretty damn good. Really different, which I love.
Enjoyed both, and Hitman was really cool, surprised me :)
Also, kudos on the avatar.
I just watched Guy Ritchie's Revolver today. Meh. It definitely felt like it was trying too hard to have some weird little hook to it, but it definitely fell flat. All the inner voices bullshit in the latter half didn't fit, and the one scene with Jason Statham alone in the elevator after leaving Ray Liotta's place was agonizingly long. The twist was predictable from a mile away and therefore had no impact. The main character's actions once meeting up with the other two main-ish characters made no sense at all. Actually, "meh" is putting it too lightly. This was a shitty movie. Someone might think it was good, but I'd be willing to bet that if he/she saw the same movie with a less well-known cast and was told that it was by some no-name director, they'd probably think it sucked too.
