    What's your favorite movie(s)? Seen any good or not so good ones lately? Post reviews or opinions here.

    My favorite movies are Training Day, All About the Benjamins, BASEketball, and Memento.

    The last movie I saw in the theaters was Spiderman 2 and I thought it was excellent, probably better than the first. I'm not a big comic book fan or super heroes in general but you could have no interest in that genre whatsoever and still be entertained by the Spiderman movies. The director infuses the flick with action, amazing special effects, drama, and romance.

    I've also rented The Butterfly Effect and Monster. The Butterfly Effect is as compelling as it is strange. It's hard to understand what's going on at times but overall it's a good movie that keeps you guessing.

    Monster was another weird movie about a prostitute who turns into a serial killer. Charlize Theron stars in it but they actually make her look as least desirable as possible, so I gave that a thumbs down. The story is pretty good and if you're into this sort of movie its not a bad watch.

    God yes, I want to stab myself everytime I see a "Best Picture" wasted by giving it to Lord of the Rings. I can't stand those movies.

    I agree, that was an excellent movie, although maybe a bit corny.

    But I have to say that God of the Gamblers had to be one of the best chinese movie series ever. Next to Jet Li's Wong Fei Hong.

    I just saw the Butterfly Effect. It was actually a good movie. If anyone else saw this, how surprised were you that Kutcher could do a serious role?

    Man, that's y u gotta love those movies...Chow Yun Fat would shoot you dead, then shoot your corpse a couple more times just for the hell of it, lol

    Because of God of Gamblers, I try to eat a chocolate bar everytime I hit the casino (a hobby of mine)...its become a superstition for me, seriously...but I forgot last time and lost [​IMG]

    All-Time Favorite Movies
    Friday (the original)
    Cooley High
    He got game
    Do the Right Thing
    Crooklyn
    John Q
    Scarface
    Casino
    Ocean 11

    Movies I hate: I wouldnt say I hate these movies but I will say that they all seem the same which gets kind of garbage: all movies were Jet Li or Steven Segal partner up with a famous rapper like Cradle to the Grave, Half past Dead etc. They always have the basic same concept Li or Segal always play some type of detective & then they team up with the rapper(who most of the time is a drug dealer, who has a member of his family taken away) to take down a bigger crime boss. Those movies have become to predictable.

    Last Movie I saw on TV: ZebraHead(watched last night on Starz)

    Last Movie I saw at the Movies: White Chicks

    Next Movie I going to see: I Robot or that Denzel Washington flick that comes out next week.

    Anyone seen those British films like Lock Stock, Snatch and Mean Machine? If you've seen them you know the genre I mean, but they are fantastic.

    I loved Back to the Future...I thought 3 was sort of a let down but 1 and 2 are classics.

    I was amazed that Ashton Kutcher could play a serious role since I've only seen him in That 70's Show, Punk'd, and Dude Where's My Car? He pulled it off in the Butterfly Effect though...gotta give him props.

    I watched lock stock and two smoking barrels and thought it was good too but Snatch was the best movie for me out of those three.

    "So, you are obviously the big dick and the men on the side of ya are your balls. There are two types of balls: there are big brave balls, and there are little mincey f*ggot balls. Now, dicks have drive, and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell p*ssy and they want a piece of the action. And, you thought you smelled some good ol' p*ssy. And, have brought your two little mincey f*ggot balls along for a good ol' time. But, you've got your parties muddled up. There's no p*ssy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You're shrinking . . . and your two little balls are shrinking with ya. And, the fact that you've got "replica" written down the side of your guns. And, the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point 5 0" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now . . . ***** off."
