Departed, Illusionist, Ron Burgundy, Man on Fire, Hostel, American Me for starters...

On this list, I've only seen the Illusionist and Ron Burgundy (Anchorman).

I recommend the Illusionist --- it's a period piece, maybe 1890's or so, set in Europe. Stars Ed Norton and Jessica Biel.

I was disappointed by Anchorman, a Will Ferrell comedy. I expected it to be outstandingly funny after hearing so many good things about it. Even the Onion gave it a good review, which is rare. Usually the Onion only gives good reviews to independent films that nobody has ever heard of. Anyway, I thought it was just ok. Sometimes I think Ferrell tries too hard, and it shows.

I intend to see the Departed, which is a cops and gangsters film starring (among others) Jack Nicholson, Leo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Alec Baldwin. This film netted Martin Scorcese his long-overdue Oscar for Best Picture just a few weeks ago.

Also intend to see Man on Fire, which is an action flick with Denzel Washington. Heard some good things about it.

From what I understand, Hostel is a thriller/horror flick. I guess Quentin Tarantino had some connection with it, although not as director.

Don't know a thing about American Me.

the illusionist is a movie about an illusionist (magician) back around 1900 or so. it stars edward norton (fight club, rounder, american history x). its about a boy and girl that are separated when they were young, the girl goes on to get engaged to a count or duke. and the guy finds out about it. the guy and the duke begin to hate each other. illusions ensue. cool movie

ron burgundy is actually. anchorman, the legend of ron burgandy. which is a will ferrell movie about a news anchor team in the 70's and their fight to keep anchor women down. funny as hell

Zig i think youd really like the illusionist. Anchorman is a stupid funny type of movie. I thought it was amazing. The departed i saw on Saturday, i thought it was well done. Thought the ending was alil crazy but still prob one of the best ive seen, but hey im only 15

Anyone see Jackass 2?

Anyone see Jackass 2?

Yes. It was both appalling and outstanding.

I truly believe "The Departed" is a great movie. It has many turns and twists. It has also a remarkable collection of fine actors in just 1 film.

[Freak Out]

Kill Bill Vol. 2. The fight between Uma and Daryl is KICK ASS!

[Brando19]

Oceans 11 was awesome because it had a plot. Oceans 12 was terrible because it didn't have a plot. I suspect Oceans 13 will suck equally hard.

I saw the trailer for Oceans 13. Looks like they're going back to Vegas again. Al Pacino is in this one, too - along with the original cast less Julia Roberts (she wasn't in the trailer anyhow). June 8 release I'm excited for it, I mean it can't be as bad at Oceans 12, right???

Yes and the guy they robbed in Oceans 11 is actually with them in this movie...helping them rob someone else. I can't remember his name but he was in the Godfather III.

Anyone see Jackass 2?

Yeah...could you believe the part with the anacondas in the ball pit? Or when he put a leach on his eyeball?!? And the beginning when he puts a mouse puppet on his penis and sticks it in a cage with a snake!

[Scott Campbell]

I have borat here. Should I watch it?

It's not for everybody. But I think you'll like it.

[Partial]

I do enjoy thoroughly raunchy comedy, maybe i'll pop it in later.

yea the start of the movie with the penis in the cage was hilarious, also when they drank the horse skeet, or when steve-o put the beer up his ass. or when they branded the dick on his ass man priceless stunts
