The Loser
Knight and Day - oops
Book of Eli - so much better the second time around
The A Team - great fun
Prince of Persia - less fun
Cop Out - out of fun
Regarding watching TRON on both formats (3D and IMAX), and putting aside each format's benefits, which one did you consider being the best experience?Originally Posted by r-type
I just have to agree with that - my favorite DIE HARD."Die Hard: With a Vengeance" / 1995 /
IMAX, hands down. The aspect ratio would open up in certain scenes. (notably when Recognizers were present, or out on the Grid). Not to mention the way better sound. If it's a choice between stereoscopic 3D or more screen real estate, I tend to side with the latter.
The 3D was S3D, so naturally rather than stuff pop out a you constantly, it was more like I could step out and into the movie. (note: 3D kicks in after Sam is zapped in, and they tell you parts are in 2D up front)
re: but IMAX is only in 3D - seeing as the 3D helped to enhance the movie in IMAX, (I don't have eye/motion sickness problems with watching 3D), I'd still recommend going all the way and doing 3D IMAX.

It's better than those Friedberg/Seltzer abortions of so-called parodies like Epic Movie,
Miracle on 34th Street (1994):
Jingle All The Way:
Home ALone 1 & 2:
The Polar Express.
A Christmas Carol (2009).

Despicable Me on Blu-Ray: Fantastic CGI animated comedy with good originality to it and nice storytelling plus some good emotion.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
Burlesque - this movie makes me want to buy myself a pair of Louboutins.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
Ponyo in it's subtitled version: As enjoyable as the English dub version with Liam Neeson, this is an excellent Japanese animated movie for everyone and has a good story to it.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
True Grit.
Jeff Bridges is a badass, period.

Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
The Fantastic Mr. Fox on Blu-Ray: The best animated movie of 2009! nice to see something refreshing from CGI but being more to Nightmare Before Christmas style stop motion animation and has good storytelling, a great cast and awesome animation.
Alien and Aliens on Blu-Ray: Both looked and sounded fantastic even with the remastering like if they were new.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
The remake was good. But have you seen the original. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and wicked funny!

Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
The Expendables. Highly entertaining - I liked it.
Commando. One of Arnold's best.

Love it! Along side True Lies I could watch this over and over.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
"Convoy" / 1978 /
Man, oh man, I know it's a cliche but I'll say it - they sure don't make them like that anymore. Pure blast from the past, love that movie.

Toy Story 3.
I cried.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
Hey Dak, if you thought Toy Story 3 was a sad animation movie. That's nothing compared to Grave of the Fireflies which is even sadder! it's a very powerful, realistic and moving animated drama about the horrors of WWII after the bombing in hiroshima and will have you in tears and from Ghibli productions.
Kill Bill 1 & 2 on Blu-Ray: Great movies and they look sharp in high def.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
The Way Back: If the goal of the movie is to be disappointing, then it's a great achievement. Not this time, Mr Weir.
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
True Grit and Narnia 3
"My story is of many thousands, and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon."
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
narnia 3 wasnt that great
Re: What Movies Have You Seen Lately? (Part 2)
By the way, to clear things up, the new True Grit is NOT, I repeat, NOT a remake of the original film. It's actually another, more faithful, adaptation of the novel written in 1968.
