Casino Jack (2010) - Was ok, didn't know it was a fictional story based on real event

Pathogen (2006) - This was directed by a 12 yo girl, and despite her enthusiasm that showed in the documentary it shows that she needs practice, this was her debut feature length. She has 2 more and im curious to see it and see if she's made improvements. This is sadly is in my bottom 50 but despite that i thoroughly enjoyed seemingly passion for film and film making and hope she gets better and better.

Ay, 12 yo director!? That's awesome! I'll have to check that out. :)

I've only seen mainstream movies recently, sadly...

Has anyone seen Ken Burns' documentary on WWII ? I thought it was extremely fascinating. One of the vets was from my city. Actually was the janitor at my mother's high school back in the day... He passed away a few years ago but it was amazing to hear his story (and all of their stories) and to see The War in such a new perspective to me. I have an immense respect and honor for those who served and all who sacrificed. In that war and in all others. What must it be like to live with that for the rest of your life? God bless them.

But I digress ... Has anyone else seen the documentary?

Ken Burns The War DVD: WWII DVD - History Channel Store (http://shop.history.com/ken-burns-the-war-dvd/detail.php?p=70178&v=history_subject_american-history_ken-burns)

Is this it? I haven't seen it but im always up for something like that XD

Any who, what i watched yesterday was..

From Paris with Love - it was an ok action flick, funny to see John Travolta bald

Spirit of St. Louis - awesome. really lots of Billy Wilder and James Stewart is great. be sure to check out lots of their work :)

Carnal Knowledge - a early role for Jack Nickolson and he plays it great.

Today i dont know what im going to watch,

[Zelda]

Yes, that's it! You should definitely watch it if you're at all interested in WWII. I have quite an obsession with the history of WWII so it was very... enlightening, to get so in depth and graphic and TRUE about it. Coming straight from the vets. It's an amazing documentary and Ken Burns, as usual, delivers it with grace and perfection.

I watched The Crucible (1996) today. I enjoyed it. I don't know enough about the Salem witch trials to know exactly how accurate it is but as a story it's good. Just goes to show popular girls really haven't changed even after all these years. I've read the play and that's good too.

[Trunks]

Was forced to watch cyber bully yesterday with a friend. Kind of half watched it, basically this girl was called a slut by bunch of people on the internet so she tried to kill her self. Kind of stupid, not much to expect from a chick flick I guess.

Cyberbully (TV 2011) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1930315/)

Cannibal Holocaust... it was really, really disturbing.

I've heard about Cannibal Holocaust but I'm sure I'd be too squeemish to watch it!

It feels good that Im not the only one "obsessed" with ww2 history.



The last movie I saw was probably predators, pretty good even if there was a few parts that didnt made up and that the whole film was easily foreseen.

My best friend is pretty obsessed with WW2 history. When I was living with him I brought him a second hand Iwo Jima DVD best 50p I ever spent! I enjoyed it too. I love history.

was it a documentary or a "real" movie, cause "letters from Iwo jima" is really good( its a movie following japanese soldiers during that battle)

[Fruity_loops]

It was a documentary but it did have dramatised parts. Really well made and very interesting. The only WW2 film I like is The Great Escape.

Ive seen that to, I think its good, even if it ends a little sadly.

[Mizel]

i really liked it :3

I read about it before I watched it, that what's killed it for me. The animals they show them killing in the movie.... they are actually killing live animals for the filming. Knowing that I couldnt finish watching it :X

WWII has always been a passion with me, today we bought the box set of Band of Brothers series.

Last couple of movies at the cinema - Fright Night and What's Your Number?

That's one of my biggest reasons for not watching it. I like animals too much.

[JeffHarris]

Your Highness. Last movie I saw. Very HILARIOUS! :D

[thedeparted]

White Irish Drinkers - it was ok

Radiant City- it was interesting and f suburbia expansion but it lost it for me at the end when i found out it wasn't legit people and actors

Death Becomes Her- a early 90's movie with Bruce Willis, Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep. It was ok kinda weird lol

So yesterday wasn't all that successful in finding a new movie that was good but at least it was a day of stinkers :P

[Fruity_loops]

I'm just watching The Princess Bride for the first time in ages. I forgot just how much I love this film.

[LiNuX]

I saw the new Harold and Kumar last weekend. Pretty funny. Story is still weird though, like the other two.

[PushMania]

Yesterday I have watched finnish movie - Rare Exports. Like finnish style. IMDB: 6.9

I just saw that too, I thought it was pretty good- liked it better then the first 2…. And I love NPH’s character :P

[E10PlusGamer]

My all time favourite Has to be Shrooms.

Its Blair Witch on Acid

[thedeparted]

Haven't really updated lately. Who here goes a few

Insidious : It was decent, many praised it. Although i could see potential in certain places it falls flat for me

Limitless : I was rather hyped by this and was excited to know it was coming today to Netflix but it's delivery on my hype missed

American Mullet : a 1 hour documentary about you know it Mullets. It was bad and the only reason i watched it cause I just found the concept of Mullet Documentary to funny to pass up.

I like Killing Flies : Its a documentary about this guy who runs this restaurant in nyc, after 32 years at the location the new owners offer him a 1 year lease, why ? because they feel they got him by the nads, they feel he can't move. So they try to hold him hostage. He ends up moving :). Good docu

Keep the River on the Right : A modern Cannibal Tale : From the summary a dude going back to canniball village he once lived with 4 decades earlier seems extremely fascinating but this really just mediocre
