Maybe next time it would help if you didn't try to be so "big" on a wrestling forum.

Big? You got 20,000 posts and you are the only person that really posts in this thread.

I'm not getting anything from this.

I'm trying to be a hotshot by posting in a thread I like?

Clearly you don't know where to point fingers.

You're the one who had the bone to pick, thus you were trying to be "big". And if it bothers you so much that I watch Impact and bad movies, you need to get your head checked.

Your just looking foolish arguing with me...

I'm the one looking foolish?

I didn't watch Disaster Movie.

I'd say more, but that should have been the only point I needed to make.

****t Security Area (2000)

The story of the conflict between North and South Korea and 4 men who become friends.

Directed by Chan-wook Park (Oldboy) this is one I've been meaning to check out for a while now. This is pure human drama at it's best. You don't really need to know much about the whole Korean conflict to identify with the characters and their situation. The beginning it very rough, a bit dull and you don't really know where this is going. The foreign actors are HORRIBLE, that is the UN guys and so forth. Once it's gets to the bulk of the main story this truly turns great. It's shows the ridiculous aspect of war, in it's painful and usually tragic consequences. If you're looking for another Oldboy then look otherwise because this is a completely different type of film. Overall a very honest and moving story of friendship faced with the trials and tribulations of War.

Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession
(Cassavetes, 2004)

Cassavetes' Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession harkens back to a time when a single pay cable TV outlet could offer more quality and variety than all the HBOs and Showtimes of the world combined. Beginning in 1974, Los Angeles' Z Channel, driven by chief programmer Jerry Harvey, presented an astonishingly eclectic array of fare to its subscribers. From mega-hits like Star Wars to obscure classics by directors like Kurosawa, Fellini, Antonioni, Peckinpah, and others.

In championing movies like Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate, Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In America, and Oliver Stone's Salvador, especially the uncut versions, Harvey earned the respect of countless filmmakers, a good many of whom (such as Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch and Robert Altman) are on hand to sing his praises.

There are also lots of clips, as well as recollections about the making of those films; in fact,
Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession is more about movies than it is about Harvey and his channel. That's good, because despite his lurid denouement (he killed his wife, then himself, in 1988), Harvey was not an especially interesting man, but rather a single-minded film freak, a guy who used movie dialogue for his own wedding vows.

Cassavetes' film is likely to appeal mostly to those who share his passion. If nothing else, it will certainly pique your interest in some of the wonderful movies celebrated here.

A film buffs delight. An enriching experience for any serious cineaste.

College- a film about three high school kids who go off to a college to have a good time. Starring Drake Bell (Superhero Movie), Andrew Caldwell (Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny), and Kevin Covais. Well its like a watered down version of American Pie: Beta House, which is degrading. If this was supposed to be funny, it missed completely. The fat kid is so annoying, I just want to punch him in the face. Not to mention, its loaded with terrible acting, and cliched situations. Drake Bell's film career falls behind Josh Peck's.

Hype Sucks...seriously

I had heard so much about this movie, how it was supposed to be one of the greatest comedies of all time how someone died from laughing at the movie (That is acctually true)

my opinion

It was ok...

Although I must say Kevin Kline's Oscar was well deserved he was amazing

The Cement Garden
(Birkin, 1993)

A bizarre and compelling story of family secrets based on the novel by Ian McEwan, this British film tells the complex tale of four children who conspire to hide their dead mother's body to avoid being split apart and sent to an orphanage. Their deception works for a while, as they become a self-sufficient family unit.

Soon, however, mistrust and a deeply antagonistic relationship between the older siblings rife with sexual overtones, as well as a snooping suitor with designs on the older sister, threaten to destroy their well-constructed facade.

Adapted and directed by Andrew Birkin, this offbeat film is disturbing but a riveting find for anyone interested in the world of international film.

A well-judged, finely played and languidly atmospheric drama.

Volcano

It was an alright movie but kind of bored me in the middle. I liked it when the lava was coming down slowly and Los Angeles looked great in the beginning.
