Summer 2007 Movie Thread (SPOILERS Warning SPOILERS)

Post by **_barrelomonkeys** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 1:56 am

I like horror movies. A lot. I think I'm in the minority on this board. In case anyone else likes a fun fright I suggest these two on DVD:
Behind the Mask -
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/behind_ ... /about.php (thought it would be terrible and then ended up watching it twice)

Slither- http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/slither/
I can't recommend slither enough. It was brilliant... it may just be that I'm a perv that I appreciated it. Rent it! :)

Neither of these movies had nudity, they were smart and a tad freakish.

I've heard how good this is! I'll be sure to rent it this weekend.

Its a lot of fun. South Korean cinema is producing some great films now.

I'd give a review.....but there's no point. This movie was the best film of the summer....hands down. Best of the trilogy, best Matt Damon movie (with apologies to the Legend of Bagger Vance).....see this film if you haven't seen it yet.

Saw it and loved it. Like you said it was hands down the best film of the summer. :) I have a few complaints: some of the car chase scenes became laughable. Bourne is invincible. It's kind of like Mission Impossible where everbody keeps taking off a mask and it gets tiresome.
Then the part where Julia Stiles cuts her hair and dyes it....we were like "Ok, so this is the part where he is going to screw her." (like on Bourne Identity) but then no love scene. Not even one time where we see Matt Damon with his shirt off.

The action was non stop. I can't recall more than one scene where the action slowed for a minute. When I drove home from the theater, I felt like going 100mph on the freeway I was so pumped up.

That's so disappointing. What a shame!

:(

I am still looking forward to seeing it, though!

I LOVE Matt!

Yes....I was waiting for the unnecessary sex scene.....that was my only gripe. Come on!

Absolutely right.....even when I thought (alright they're going to slow the movie down and let people decompress a bit) they jolted up the action....it was insane.

I rented The Host finally. Going to watch it in a few and will report back with details!

Okay! Loved it Blixa. I definitely suggest this movie for anyone. It wasn't actually scary at all and it had laughs and interesting characters.

It is a dubbed movie, but done well.

Sorry ladies. I just had to keep the shirt on to avoid mass riots.

I loved the movie. Best of the three and they were all good. However, even though I loved the movies I am a Robert Ludlum fan and have read 85% of all his books, and the three Bourne books twice. The books are much better and I recommend them. The movies only loosely follow the books so it will be a new adventure for you. Example, Jason is much older and Marie, from the first movie book, is a Canadian Economist. Jason actually takes her as a hostage early in the first book and they later fall in love. She is in the next two books as a significant character in Jason's life. She is not killed off.

Another difference. In the first movie you here the name Cain as one of Jason's alias. In the book Cain is a major villain and the baddest and best assasin there is on Europe. Jason's story is intertwined with Cain, or Carlos the jackal.
