@funkyfyremonkey Hmm, so many movie suggestions :) Now I'm ensured, in one of those boring nights when I have no idea which movie to watch, now I will :) Thanks! I reccomend that you go watch Biutiful, in case you are looking for a movie. It's something you really don't want to miss. - @Monday, June 27, 2011 12:06 PM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak Have you seen Powder?About a boy whose mother was struck by lightning while she was pregnant with him& it caused him to use more of his brain than normal,gave him telekinesis&unbelievable intelligence.I love that one too :)Kinda like K-Pax,an oddball that nobody believes at first. - @Monday, June 27, 2011 7:30 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak No,not a horror,I guess you'd just call it sci-fi.There are some murder scenes& blood but by todays standards,not bloody enough :) I ordered K-PAX cause I found it for a buck on amazon,I'll let ya know :) Yeah,it's nice to talk to someone open minded :)There's soooo much shit talkin' & negativity on here between people(I've done my fair share,when provoked,lol)I've got a wide range of taste in most things.I just can't stand the mindless,hateful shit.Other than that,it's aaaall good ;) - @Monday, June 27, 2011 7:22 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey Hmm, sounds like a horror. Is it? By the way, my god, I feel like I'm talking to myself. Lol, actually I'm about to go and check if your account has ever logged into my computer! We are like the same person, same tastes, everything! Did you watch K-PAX? - @Sunday, June 26, 2011 4:19 PM

funkyfyremonkey

@funkyfyremonkey If you type in "Taken 1x01 part 1 of 9"it should take you right to it :) - @Sunday, June 26, 2011 3:18 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak Same name,different movie.Actually,Speilburgs is a 10 part series.Most of it's on here,it's missing a couple parts,but it's still hours of the series.It's an awesome story starting with the aliens taking a pilot in WWII(based on a true story about the blue lights called"foo" that our pilots saw hovering while fighting mid-air)&manipulating his,his childrens&grandchildrens DNA & at the same time one of the aliens that escaped from the Roswell crash starts his own family. - @Sunday, June 26, 2011 3:17 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey Taken? Wasn't that a movie about a guy who is avenging the people who kidnapped his daughter? - @Saturday, June 25, 2011 10:50 PM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak It'll be VERY frickin interesting to see what happens!!Have you seen Steven Speilburgs "Taken"?AWESOME story about alien DNA manipulation through generations of families.That's a big part of the Ancient Alien theory too,that they started the human race in Sumeria&stayed here for quite awhile teaching us math&astronomy.When you think about how much the Mayans &Egyptians knew,it makes sense,to me anyway :)Eric Von Daniken is fascinating to listen to about the history of it!! - @Saturday, June 25, 2011 4:01 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak Yeah,that would certainly shake things up :)Supposedly,Planet X(Niburu) has a"slingshot" orbit that is going to bring it very close to us in 2012&some people think that the Annunaki live there& are going to come back then.Steven Hawking says we better hope nothing comes to visit us because anybody advanced enough for that kind of space travel would be highly dominate&we'd be at their mercy.And if they are anything like us their agenda would be to take over&colonize. - @Saturday, June 25, 2011 3:47 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey Yes. I am into the theme right now, just watched Contact, another great movie! I really wish someday something like this would happen. I imagine that "2012" would be the time aliens actually land and meet us - and I damn hope so. I'm sick and tired of our boring world. - @Wednesday, June 22, 2011 3:37 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak I saw it a long time ago & I don't remember alot about it,but I'll watch it again!! I love learning & thinking about all that stuff too, & it's AWESOME that there are so many movies & shows about it these days!! I LOVE Ancient Aliens& talk about making you think!!! If you haven't seen it yet,do not miss it!!There's a few episodes on here.I also really like the History channels The Universe series.It's funny how our little monkey brains have a hard time comprehending how big it really is - @Wednesday, June 22, 2011 2:20 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey Ah, yeah, I did see the low IMDB rating os Sanctum so I didn't watch it. But damn, yesterday I watched K - PAX... Oh. My. God. I just can't stop thinking about it! AAARGH! It's perfect in every way! Just makes you think of how vast our universe can possibly be, and to those who are open-minded like me, it brings a lot of questions. If you haven't watched it, than I have one thing to say. DO IT NOW. - @Tuesday, June 21, 2011 2:08 PM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak Yes & I was really surprised at how much I liked it,it was GREAT!! I'm not usually very interested in comic book type movies but that one had a rich & multi-faceted story.I also really liked Sin City & Hell Boy.Have you seen Sanctum?I watched it last night & was kinda bummed because the acting was pretty cheesy.I thought it was going to be tremendous because James Cameron porduced it,but not so much :( so don't pay to see it if you were going to :) - @Tuesday, June 21, 2011 5:37 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey You have to see Biutiful :) It's just... breathtaking. Another good movie is Watchmen. Have you watched it? - @Sunday, June 19, 2011 10:33 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak Yeah,I've really wanted to see Biutiful,looks great!! I've seen all the rest & I think they're great too :) I've got a wiiide range in my taste of movies.If you haven't seen it,the show Breaking Bad is really good too,but you gotta start at the beginning so you know what's going on :)Thanks for the list!! - @Sunday, June 19, 2011 8:55 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey Well, I can tell you my top 5 - but it's nothing like this movie.. you can go check em out though. 1. Biutiful; 2. V for Vendetta; 3. Into the Wild; 4. The Big White; 5. The Prestige. I warned you, they really are NOTHING like this movie. Nothing. Mostly drama / thriller, but they are masterpieces. - @Saturday, June 18, 2011 10:16 PM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak And Giovanni playing such a meticulous,straight laced guy being driven to the edge of his sanity by the whole deal showed his supreme talent!!Ahh,I could go on& on.Another one you don't want to miss is 'Bandits' with Bruce Willis & Billy Bob Thorton& Cate Blanchette.It's also not well known & for me,pure comic genius!! If you've got any suggestions I'm glad to hear 'em.Anybody who likes this movie has got good taste ;) - @Saturday, June 18, 2011 5:03 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@guzotak I know what you mean.I'm SO glad I didn't miss it!! I came across it in the store & it looked interesting.I own it now & have watched it enough to count for alot of people :) I see in my comment that I wrote Helen Hunt,I meant Holly Hunter.I think she's also a VERY underated actress,her performance was histarical!!(I feel the she way acted myself quite a bit,lol). - @Saturday, June 18, 2011 4:42 AM

funkyfyremonkey

@MrOasisboy "Billy don't be a hero" I think it's a remake. :) - @Saturday, June 18, 2011 3:24 AM

guzotak

@funkyfyremonkey Yes! I'm so glad this movie isnt forgotten. There are like 10 000 people in the whole world who have watched it :( It's really underrated. And the soundtrack... magical! This movie left a lot of nice memories in my head, because I watched it in winter, which only added up to the atmosphere. Ah, snow... please, reply to this comment, you will make me feel a lot better knowing Im not the only one who watched this movie in the last few years :D - @Friday, June 17, 2011 2:48 AM
