altersteve Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 They've released the new teaser poster for the upcoming Ender's Game movie (sorry it's so huge):
Ilovetheflowergirl Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 The last movie I watched was on Hulu called Lost Angels: Skid Row is My Home. It is about the homeless in Los Angeles. It shows interviews with a few homeless people explaining how they became homeless and what it is like. It is very interesting and very touching. I would definately recommend it. It reminds you to be compassionate to others. 1
strawberryfieldsforever Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Watched the first of The Hobbit trilogy. So far it has been well done.It was mind blowing! but it still had nothing on the book though. Olympus Has Fallen was AWESOME. It's insanely violent, and I loved every minute of it. If you're okay with lots of intense violence and some language, go see it. Just make sure you check your brain the door first and you'll have fun.I've seen it, it was a good escape for a few hours, but I'm definitely not interested in watching it again. I just felt it was another, commercial, spewed out hollywood film. Cinematography is so uninspired these days, maybe i'm just not a violent person lolThe last movie I watched was on Hulu called Lost Angels: Skid Row is My Home. It is about the homeless in Los Angeles. It shows interviews with a few homeless people explaining how they became homeless and what it is like. It is very interesting and very touching. I would definately recommend it. It reminds you to be compassionate to others.Yeah, I got that meaning from that too. Helping others is helping yourself, compassion should be in all of our best interests just for the sake of our survival on earth.

altersteve Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Watched the first of The Hobbit trilogy. So far it has been well done.I was actually disappointed by it. It's good on its own terms (though still overlong, drawn out, and a little self-indulgent at times), and I enjoyed the music, visual style, and acting, but compared to the masterpiece that is The Lord of the Rings trilogy, I found it quite underwhelming and not nearly as heartfelt or as emotionally powerful. I'll still buy it, though, but I'm waiting for the extended version -- just so I can watch the whole story from start to finish when all three movies are out. Edited March 26, 2013 by altersteve
Tacenda Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 the last movie I watched was Jurassic Park, it made me think about dinosaursThat movie is coming out on 3-D!

I'll still buy it, though, but I'm waiting for the extended version -- just so I can watch the whole story from start to finish when all three movies are out.I prefer the Tolkien's "Author Omniscient" telling in his classic "The Lord of the Rings" book to his earlier "First Person's" telling in The Hobbit. Peter Jackson did an excellent job in his trilogy movies. On the down side he really didn't stick all that closely to the book. I agree that the movies stand on their own. So far "The Hobbit" movies stick closer to Tolkien's book. I'll agree that it is overly long particularly in the fighting scenes with the Orc's. Music was written by the same person whom did LotR, and Peter Jackson's style is definitely in The Hobbit. I'm going to wait till Christmas time when the extended version comes out before I buy it. Though I do hope that it isn't just extended fighting scenes that make it into that version.

altersteve Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Multiple times. I'm a huge Tolkien fan.
bluebell Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Multiple times. I'm a huge Tolkien fan.I just wondered because you said that you liked the LOTR movie so much more than The Hobbit, and I know that a lot of people who love the LOTR novel, do not really like The Hobbit novel nearly as much either.
altersteve Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 I do like the LOTR novel a bit more but I still love The Hobbit a lot.
NoThanksAdversary Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I LOVE LOTR, movies. The first one is the best imo, it's really some epic and magnificent story telling.Just saw The Matrix (1999) Such an amazing movie. Was a long time ago since i watched it.

I'm looking forward to the new G.I. Joe movie. My cousin wants me to go see The Host with her. Ummm...not feeling that.
Damien the Leper Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I really wanna see the new Star Trek movie. It looks amazing.
rodheadlee Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 The last movie we watched was Snowbound. It was part of a DVD with 10 tear jerkers for 5 bucks.
Damien the Leper Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I watched Rosemary's Baby...pretty creepy for a 1968 movie.
cinepro Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Ran out and bought Les Miserables today and finished just now with a huge lump in my throat. Hollywood still cranks out the good movies, thank heavens. This movie was so "real" in human emotion. The actors were magnificent.French book, made into a French musical, adapted to a British west-end musical, made into a movie by a British film company (directed by a Brit with two Australian actors in the lead roles) = "Hollywood"?

Garden Girl Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I watched Rosemary's Baby...pretty creepy for a 1968 movie.I really liked Rosemary's Baby... I read the book (Ira Levin) and the movie stayed pretty cloae...You're right... for 1968...GG Edited March 28, 2013 by Garden Girl
Damien the Leper Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 It was the movie that introduced me to Satan in film. Then I watched the Exorcist a few years later.
strawberryfieldsforever Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 That movie is coming out on 3-D!NO WAY!!
Garden Girl Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) It was the movie that introduced me to Satan in film. Then I watched the Exorcist a few years later.Now, that was creepy...GGEdit to Add... I just got home from the store, where I rented "Lincoln"... I had seen it in the theatre, but will re-watch it tonight in my own little home... AFTER I watch BYU Men's Volleyball (playing Pepperdine), on BYU-TV. I like to watch a movie and be able to notice all the backgrounds, furnishings, costumes, etc etc. Edited March 29, 2013 by Garden Girl
