Shrek 2. Bloody awesome

Yeah loved that movie & loved Puss in Boots - I went home and my cat looked at me with those BIG eyes! It was halarious!

I also really loved Lost in Translation :love2:

[matthewt]

Shrek 2 for me.

But then I've only seen Harry Potter, Shrek, and The Polar Express this year anyway.

Freakin' busted. At least I got to see the end of Polar Express. The other two were muntered by toilet breaks.

"I gotta do a weeee", at the top of his lungs in a quiet poignant bit, followed by a dash to the loo, followed by a ooo look it's the credits moment.

At least I got popcorn.

Tell me about it. I went to Shrek2 when Mason's kindy booked out an entire session. What a mistake, far too many kids and babies. Then 5 minutes from the end (just before Shrek storms in to save Fiona) I have to take my daugther to the toilets. Made it back just in time to see who was the lead animator for donkey.

I thought it looked like a paid political ad.... dont get me started on Michael "The facts only count when I want" Moore

That's why I liked "The Corporation" because it was a similar type of documentary without the "guided thinking" that Moore seems to create. It more just laid out the facts plainly without all the highly emotive rubbish.

2. Jisatsu circle (Suicide Club)

I'd have to say I ROBOT!
It was great, had ties to Matrix and everything.
Shrek 2 is right Up there though.

The Invincibles should be awesome to, trailers look great!
Coming out Dec 26th, Made by Pixar (same company that made Toy Story I & II)

[F5 Dave]

Lost in Translation?!?? Can someone please tell me what was happening? Clearly there must have been more to it. To me it just looked like 2 bored losers in Japan & the old man (Bill Murray) kinda wanted to pork the young girl.

Oohh the subtle interosculate of the developing characters.


Shit I can wander around the local mall & see that.

We ended up leaving after what seemed like 4 hours.

I'm with you F5 Dave, didn't quite butter my muffin - well if I had a muffin it wouldn't have been buttered

[MrMelon]

Ah yeah actually I think eternal sunshine of the spotless mind was the coolest movie I saw this year.

Lost in translation really didnt do it for me either

[F5 Dave]

I'm with you F5 Dave, didn't quite butter my muffin - well if I had a muffin it wouldn't have been buttered

Yeah I mean I wasn't expecting a car chase or Aliens (PS Forgotten has both & should be avoided as well) & expected an arty movie not ‘Stripes’ or ‘Ghost Busters’ but C’mon!

[edit] Yeah I wonder if the original screenplay was written in Japanese & the storyline was Lost in . . .

ok, lame but you tell me why they called it that.

[bear]

Interesting point (F5 Dave: why did they call it that), maybe the director and producer were natives to the filming location and didn't have a good grasp of english, and instructions to the actors were lost in translation - so the film didn't work out that well.
