RayFinkle Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Is there anything good out there that anybody has rented lately? I am on a pretty bad streak of rentals and need a good flick to pull me out of my funk...(foreign film lovers need not respond).
tennesseeboy Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 little miss sunshine...really a great flick.
Fezmid Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Lucky Number Sleven - I never heard of it before, but it was awesome. Oh, and Firefly (and Serenity)
tennesseeboy Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I'm reluctant to say I enjoyed this flick...but in a wierd way I got a kick out of ...Snakes on A Plane."
buckeyemike Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 "Idiocracy", which was written and directed by Mike Judge of "Office Space" fame. This film was never even given a chance in theaters...the plot summary is an average soldier is signed up for an experiment where he will be asleep for one year. The experiment is forgotten about, and he wakes up in the year 2505 to find that society has become so dumbed down that he is easily the smartest person on Earth. Good movie.

Sounds like every morning of my life.
Fezmid Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Sounds like every morning of my life. You're part of the dumbed down society?
buckeyemike Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Sounds like every morning of my life. Seriously, Fox decided to dump "Idiocracy" in about seven theaters, with no press kits, no trailers, no posters, and no advertising. Pretty rotten way to treat Mike Judge, who's made them millions because of "King of the Hill" and several million "Office Space" DVDs. I'm a fan of Judge's, so I guess I'm prejudiced.
Buftex Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Sounds like every morning of my life. Is that you, waking up after your slumber, in your avatar?

The Descent Good, scary, and intense.... http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/descent/
KD in CA Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Somehow I had never seen Heat. Watched it last weekend...good fun.
IDBillzFan Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Somehow I had never seen Heat. Watched it last weekend...good fun. That's such a great flick, except for the scene between Pacino and DeNiro, which sounded like it was written by a teenager. DeNiro: "You know, you-n-me 'er sittin' here like regular guys, but let me tell you that if we ever face off, I will not hesitate...not for one second...to take your life." Pacino: "Brother, if you-n-me come together in the sweet wet ass time of the morning...brother, make no mistake, brother, you are going down." :worthy: I recently watched "Over The Hedge." I was reluctant because I was a big fan of the comic strip, but this was a thoroughly enjoyable flick that didn't hesitate to make fun of humans all day long. Voices from Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte, Jim Carell, Gary Shandling, William Shatner, Eugene Levy, Wanda Sykes. Great stuff ..
sweetbaboo Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Thank you for smoking. Let's hear it for personal responsibility!
2003 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Lucky Number Sleven - I never heard of it before, but it was awesome. Oh, and Firefly (and Serenity) Yea, Lucky number sleven was surprisingly good.
dib Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 On the other hand, I would stay away from: The Guardian, and Inside Man. Guardian: cliched Inside mad: too many unresolved issues.
Fezmid Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Another older movie you may have missed that was excellent is Princess Mononoke. It's originally from Japan, but they hired top quality actors to voice the American version. Even my wife, who thought she was going to hate it, loved it. CW
Dante Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Who Killed The Electric Car? Best movie Ive seen this year. The Decent Hard to find good horror movies these days. This is a rare gem. Running Scared Under the radar movie. Great action and charachters. If you like Reservoir Dogs, True Romance type flicks you'll love this
bills_fan Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I recently ordered The Devil wears Prada. Suprisingly decent.
