Has James Cameron ever made a movie under two hours? I haven't done any research, I'm pretty sure most of his movies are ridiculously long, and more annoyingly have se sort of Bill Paxton cameo which is a bonus?!?!?

Cameron hasn't done a movie in ten years!! The last movie he did was ( can you guess it?) titanic. I guess if you make $115 million from a movie you don't need to work for a few years. ( $600k for screenplay+ $8 million directors salary+ backend points= $115 million!!!

Out of all the movies he has ben part of: terminator, alien, true lies, the abyss, escape from new York as a matte painter!!! And many many more, the one that I love the most is Rambo: first blood part ll!! Fuck yeah.

So, cameron is making his directorial daybu with AVATAR, he has writen and is directing, producing this flick I'm sure he will be making millions of more dollars off if this. So much hype is behind the return of cameron that film geeks like me will see it just to see it.

I never saw Titanic. Once it past Star Wars as the all time grossing film I swore to never see this movie, and I haven't yet!

Southland tales

Well, I just got out of southland tales by Richard Kelly writer/director of the above subject and donnie darko. I really don't know what to think of it other than, WHAT?!?! I heard the theatrical version was cut down quite a bit from the original cut. The version I Sat through had a running time of 144 min. Fresh in my mind I was confused and didnt care to much about the characters. If you are a big darko fan rent it, if you are a movie fan then rent it, but make sure you are in a patient mood. I would not snort five lines then try and sit through this one.

Reincarnated as an 80’s icon

If I could come back as someone from the 80’s…no questions asked STEVE GUTTENBURG!!! He is the man, and you can’t argue with that!

Well...I haven't gottin the greatest response about the "best movies no one has heard of." In greatest I mean none, so I guess I am on my own for this one.

To retort, if anyone has a movie they think no one has heard of and is really good let me know . Again my Netflix email is Mindtrick33@gmail if anyone wants to add me to their friends list.

I am trying to rent movie's from Netflix that I have never heard of. If there is a movie out there that you think is awesome, but you think no one else has heard of it let me know I want to check it out.

I googled "Best movies you never heard of" and this is what I got.

1) The Duellists --Ridley Scott's evocative epic about two dragoons who fight a series of duels over a nearly twenty year span during the Napoleonic wars. Lushly photographed leisurely paced, yet interspersed with exciting action.

2) Orphans -- Albert Finney, Mathew Modine and Kevin Anderson in a story about two brothers who kidnap an aging gangster and learn about life as they are themselves captivated by him. Visually staged like a play, but very moving and funny.

3) Once Upon A Time in the West -- Sergio Leone's masterpiece and the best spaghetti western ever made. One of the finest westerns period in my opinion (see my lengthier epinions review elsewhere.) Beautiful score, scenery, Charles Bronsen, Claudia Cardinale -- and Henry Fonda as a villain. See it!

4) Don't Look Now -- Scarier and more intellectual than the Exorcist PLUS having one of the hottest but tastefully erotic love scenes ever shot. Featuring Donald Sutherland and a young Julie Christie and based on a Daphne Du Murier (sic?)novel. Directed by Nicolas Roeg.

5) House of Games -- Made many top ten lists when it came out, but only seen by the critics. Starring Joe Mantegna and Lindsay Crouse in a battle of wits and psychological warfare based on con men and their "art."

6) Fandango -- Kevin Costner's first real movie featuring him and a youthful cast of actors playing newly-minted University of Texas graduates having one last fling out west before the Vietnam War, college and marriage claim their innocence completely. Riotously funny in at least six scenes while also deeply affecting.

7) Two Moon Junction -- Okay, a B-movie guilty pleasure starring Sherilyn Fenn as the libidinous and lightly-garbed vixen whose heart is stolen by a hunky carny passing through town. Sure it is hokey, but the barn scene is very sensual, if rather unlikely.

8) Jacob's Ladder -- An intense and mind-boggling trip through the brain and soul of a GI back from Vietnam who tries to answer the question of what is real, what is life, what is death? Very scary stuff.

9)Flesh and Blood -- Paul Verhoefen's historical epic/fable set in the lusty but plague-ridden Middle Ages. Earthy realism and body chemistry between Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Much sex and violence, but a true trip to another time and place as Hauer the brigand seduces Leigh and brings the world down around them all.

10)Emerald Forest -- Beautiful and transporting journey through the Amazon to the heart of darkness by John Boorman. Starring Powers Booth as an American engineer who must rescue his kidnapped son who is taken by a native tribe.

Bonus Picks -- Empire of the Sun and Atlantic City -- both highly recommended also.

I have heard of a few of these movies but never watched them (Jacob's Ladder, Once Upon A Time in the West). Currently I have The Duellists and Orphans.

Once Upon A Time in the West was directed by none other than Sergio Leone who has so many great movies I think this one is a no brainer.

I definitely would like to see some foreign films, so hit me up if you know some good ones. Nothin obvious I'm talkin about the shit you only hear about cause you are from that country. I don't want some one to tell me to check out Pan's Labyrinth or Amelie

Here is my email for Netflix if you want to add me as a friend. I thin k I am safe cause about 2 people read this and I am one of them just gotta find the other. (mindtrick33@gmail.com)

Ghost Rider

Um…Wow!!! 16 min in and I already thought this was the worst movie. Nick Cage wasn’t even on screen yet and I hated it. I thought the reason for hating this movie was Mr. Cage.

I guess there is something fun about watching a movie when you can see everything coming. I think I have already filled in the blanks for about five lines of dialogue (finished what they were gonna say before they said it).

What’s with him liking monkeys? They are trying to give him his “thing” and I am not feeling it. “want some jelly’s” So he really likes jelly beans lame!

Oh my god she just pulled out a magic eight ball at a restaurant.

They did the classic man cleaning with headphones on in a high rise bit. This is my new favorite movie.

I love that they don’t even go into how to kill the guys or what powers he actually has, he just kind of figures it out himself there is no mentor at all Sam Elliot got ripped off in his roll.

On a visual effects note: I like at the end when she goes to touch him he turns back into human form first. I am sure they did this since they had to remove Cages head the added the skull so it would be impossible for her to touch where the skull would be since his actually face would be in the way. I guess they could do some pain in the ass warp, but I guess their way was easier.

All in all it was a horrible movie. I am glad Nick Cage finally got to do his comic book movie, because out of all the books Ghost Riders is one that I could care less if it was ruined.

You might be a movie geek!

So… LOST BOYS is on AGAIN and I have to watch it! But I ask you this. Am I a movie geek because I choose to watch this movie in the dark, and clear off my bed so I have a place to go when I am done typing?

The Frog Boys have to be my favorite! They seem to know what is going on in THEIR town.

Another thing; is it me or does JOHN HUGHES and EDWARD HERRMANN look exactly a like?

HBO, or for those who don’t know (HOME BOX OFFICE} sucks.


I haven’t been able to sleep the last couple of night because of the amazing movies they have been playing.

The other night I tried to go to sleep, but TREMORS was on, then after that UNCLE BUCK and after that it gets even better WEIRD SIENCE! How is one supposed to fall asleep when such a great line up is on? I guess that’s better than some shitty movies on.

Tonight LOST BOYS is on. Need a say more???

Why, Why, why. Good thing no one read this because no one know what is means.

I got home from the bar and I turned on the "tube." Nothing was on so I decided to watch the SMURFS. I am sure that other people including you have noticed this, but I think it is creepy when Popa SMURF tells all the other SMURFS "you have the day off you can SMURF what ever you want." Maybe I am a pervert but that sounds fucked up. Pretty much anything Popa SMURF says can be misconstrued as a sexual innuendo. i.e. "lets go SMURF ol' Esrials tail." what the fuck does that mean. Another thing, is gargamel human? Cause if he is he must be the dumbest fucking person ever. If SMURFS are as small as they are suppose to be then he could just go to the SMURF village and stomp the shit out of it. I have never been out witted by say a spider. Okay, maybe once, but that was a long time ago.

Greenpeace protested at my work today. While they were playing there videos and handing out fliers, I noticed that the generator that they were using to power everything was a gas generator. Maybe it’s just me but doesn’t that seem odd??

M*A*S*H

M*A*S*H is such an amazing show I hate that people don’t give it a chance because they think its for old people.

The 30th anniversary is on TV and its amazing I love mash. I am not a big fan of the episodes were they are serious but it is so bad ass!!

Fuck “prison break” “lost” and all of those other gay shows that have been on the last 5 years or so they can’t even compare to mash. TV sucks these days I hate it I wish it was more like mash they could learn a few things from the writers of mash.

I hope people will give mash a chance; it’s a show about drunk doctors who make fun of people. Sounds like me and my friends yet they don’t watch mash. I would totally hang out with Hawkeye and BJ or trapper anyone of the side kicks. Get drunk and make fun of people or pull pranks on people that would be awesome.

If anyone reads this that has never watch mashed please do me a favor and watch at least 3 episodes so you can get an idea of how the show works, and get an idea of the way the show is written.

“you’re my kind of girl Nancy…Drunk” Genuise!!!!!!
