Saw Dr. Strangelove last night and loved it! I'm a big Kubrick fan anyway, but I liked the parody and humor in this film. Peter Sellers is phenomenal as 3 different characters, George C. Scott is hilarious and Slim Pickens is his usual self. I highly recommend it if you haven't already seen it.

i watched superman returns last night. it was pretty sweet. they used the same score from the originals. the story line wasn't the greatest...but it was good. brandon routh was a good superman, kate bosworth was ok as lois lane, kevin spacey was underutilized as lex luthor. all in all a really fun movie, a little long, but good. I give it a 7.5/10.

haha...i think ya'll just couldnt handle the gore...

dont kid us

Actually, it was the rape scene that forced me to leave. I can handle gore. Those Saw movies didn't bother me. I really couldn't handle the simulated rape though. As a matter of fact, I thought it was illegal to show that, but I guess not.

I don't recall any gore in the first SAW movie, was there gore in the second one?

I guess it would depend on your definition of gore. I think the one guy had his head squashed in a timed trap of some sort. A guy was burned alive I recall. Oh, I've seen all of the Hannibal movies if that counts for gore.

The worst one of the "Hannibal" series, IMO, is "Hannibal" (which also had Gary Oldman in it speaking of...). The disembowling scene of the cop and what he did to Ray Liotta's character at the end was probably as gory as it got but there are worst movies out there. I like Julianne Moore but did not like her as Clarise Starling in this one though I enjoyed all three (or 4 if you count Manhunter) movies.

Really if you want gore - John Carpenters remake of "The Thing" from 1982 was pretty gory. The special effects for that time were incredible but it was a pretty gory movie.

Oh, I'm not looking for gore. I don't shy away from it though. If I think a movie will be good, I'll check it out, whether it has gore or not. My wife likes the horror movies and stuff like that, so I'm just in it for the ride most of the time. Her favorite movie is Seven.

yeah, those arent bad. Peter Jackson's Dead Alive gets my gore vote, although it's a silly kind of gore

- sorry ORS, I didn't mean to imply you were looking for a gory movie. I was just making a statement that IMO, of the gory movies I've seen, "The Thing" is the worst so far.

I can take or leave the gore part of a movie. If it's fitting for the movie I have no problem with it but if it's in there for any other reason it's sorta senseless. My wife doesn't do horror very much but she's the one who actually suggested we go to the theater and watch "Hannibal".......

I haven't seen it...embarassingly enough, Dr. Strangelove is the only Sellers film I've seen. I knew him from the Pink Panther movies, but that's about it. I'll have to add the movie to the Netflix Queue! Thanks!

Just saw two movies- Superman Returns in theaters and Meet the Fockers at home(from the library)

Superman Returns- First Superman ive ever seen, so the storyline was good and original to me. Liked the special efffects and the acting of Spacey,Routh, and Bosworth. The first hour was a long one, but once it got into the heart of the storyline, the time passed quickly. All in all, a good movie that lasted a little too long.
8/10

Meet the Fockers- Situational comedy that is overall half decent. Has some funny scenes and i liked the ending but it didnt have anything special. Would have liked more involvement on Pam's part but DeNiro, Stiller, and Hoffman were good in their roles. 6/10
