Superman 08-19-2005, 01:45 AM i'm seeing it early tomorrow afternoon, so i'll post my review before you're even in line to see it, muhahahaha! :euro:
Aurora10 08-19-2005, 01:46 AM LUCKY BUM BUM!!! I won't see it until 10:30pm...BOOO!!!!!!!! :( Oh well. I still get to see it.
Aurora10 08-21-2005, 01:09 AM Yeeeeeeeeep, yep. Mua-ha-ha!!!!!!! That. Was. Bloody. Fantastic. I LOVED it!!!!!!!! I ended up going at 12:35am but 'tis okay. I need to see this movie again and again and again. I knew that I was gonna love Jackson but not just cause Cillian played him; his character was awesome!!!!! I love the evil ones.
:jump:
coldqueen 08-21-2005, 02:19 AM AUroro...I don't think anyone's as excited as you...but I do really want to see the movie because yes...Cillian is sexy.
Aurora10 08-21-2005, 02:48 AM lol!!! That be true, that be true. Hehe! I would have written a longer review but um, unfortunately, it really hurts to type. 3 stitches on my thumb.....hurts a lot. :(
Now go see the movie!!! lol :D
lostfan88 08-21-2005, 12:15 PM I'm very excited to see this movie, but I didn't have time this weekend to see it. :crybaby: However, my friend wants to see it too so if our weekend isn't too much next week we're hoping to go see it. We both like Cillian a lot. He's awesome!
BurningStar4 08-21-2005, 02:35 PM Haha Aurora sounds like me when I talk about Johnny :)
I saw Red Eye and I really enjoyed it, I ended up liking it more than I anticipated. It was really one of the best popcorn flicks I've seen in a long time. Wes Craven didn't manage to screw this one up and he's sort of "back" after the Scream sequels and Cursed. It's still not Craven's old style that I love but it had a good thing going on. Cillian and Rachel had a great chemistry together and I can't help but want Cillian, even when he's a psycho. I would of changed the way the movie ends a little bit but it wasn't a total screw up like in War of the Worlds. I could live with the ending they had, I just would of made it better haha.
For what the movie is, I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 5. Good suspenseful thriller.
QueenElessar 08-21-2005, 03:14 PM I thought Red Eye was fantastic! I mean obviously there was nothing earth shattering about the film, but in terms of a thriller, it really had me going! It actually reminded me a lot of Speed...just the idea of being confined in this small space and having to try to keep in control...and then at the end they get out of that space and it's all out chase.
Now...don't throw things at me....but I don't find Cillian Murphy at all attractive (but then I like my men rough and rugges, and I have a thing against pretty boys...), but he was great at being creepy :).
And Racheal McAdams...GUH...I adore her! She has just moved up to my top 5 girl crush list for SURE. She's so likeable, and just so adorable! :biggrin:
BurningStar4 08-21-2005, 03:20 PM Cillian sort of reminds me of Johnny Depp, he has that jawline thing going on. I think he is (to steal a quote from Tom Cruise) "magnificent". Those piercing blue eyes, gah! Drives me insane.
Rachel McAdams is definitely on the top of my list for actresses. I don't even really have many "favorite actresses". Nicole Kidman is number 1 on my list, followed by Kathleen Turner, but I think Rachel might be number 3, she's a great up and coming actress.
Aurora10 08-21-2005, 04:11 PM Nicole and Rachel are great. :)
'Tis okay, QE...I know you don't like pretty boys. lol Let's just say that I wanted to jump into the screen. My friend was (literally) holding me back.
lostfan88 08-21-2005, 09:09 PM All of these good reviews is making me regret not seeing the movie this weekend. :(
CharlieLuv 08-21-2005, 09:18 PM Just saw Red Eye today, I loved it! I really don't think that Cillian is all that good looking, but he sure gave me the creeps. He was the best villian I had ever seen in a movie. I love Rachel McAdams and she did a brilliant performance. This movie made me jump a few times, but it was wonderful. Great action, great story, great everything. Two thumbs up.
Aurora10 08-21-2005, 09:48 PM He's an excellent villian...I always love the bad guys. It helps if they're real sexy. lmao Argh, I must see it again. :D Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! I'm still on a Red Eye high.
CharlieLuv 08-21-2005, 11:01 PM So am I. When I came home and used the bathroom, I kept thinking of the movie and it gave me chills. I peeked around the door before I went out into the hallway.
morning_glory 08-22-2005, 08:56 AM I went and saw it this weekend, and I LOVED IT!! Cillian does creepy/psycho guy very well, 2 hours of Cillian goodness was just what I needed this weekend!! I thought it was well paced and had a good story.
Lost_chica 08-22-2005, 10:55 PM I am dying to see this... We haven't seen it yet since we need to find a babysitter (Anyone want to baby sit?) Anaïs doesn't sleep though movies anymore so we haven't had time :(
islandchica 08-24-2005, 03:47 PM Ahhhhh!!! OMG this movie is SO GOOD! I saw it on Sunday with two of my friends and my little brother. We all LOVED it. I thought it was going to be kinda scary, but thankfully it wasn't too bad, since I'm a HUGE chicken. Um, yeah, it was just really GOOD. I really want to go see it again. The acting was great, I think Rachel is probably one of my favorite actresses now, and of course Cillian is sexy. ;)
Aurora10 08-24-2005, 04:39 PM Haha! Yep. :biggrin:
Cillian is teh sex.
lostfan88 08-24-2005, 06:21 PM Ahhhhh!!! OMG this movie is SO GOOD! I saw it on Sunday with two of my friends and my little brother. We all LOVED it. I thought it was going to be kinda scary, but thankfully it wasn't too bad, since I'm a HUGE chicken. Um, yeah, it was just really GOOD. I really want to go see it again.
I'm a huge chicken too when it comes to scary movies. But if you say it's not that bad, then I guess I'll be alright. I'm so excited! My friend and I are planning to see it this weekend. lol I've never been this excited about a movie except perhaps for LOTR.
BurningStar4 08-24-2005, 07:33 PM I'm a huge chicken too when it comes to scary movies. But if you say it's not that bad, then I guess I'll be alright. I'm so excited! My friend and I are planning to see it this weekend. lol I've never been this excited about a movie except perhaps for LOTR.
The only movie I've been so excited to see since LOTR is "Rent" which is due out in November :)
Aurora10 08-25-2005, 04:10 PM lostfan88, you don't have to be scared! It's not a horror movie...'tis a thriller. There will be times where you jump but it's fun!
lostfan88 08-25-2005, 05:50 PM :lol: ok. I'm seeing it this weekend, I'll let y'all know what I think. :D
Can't wait!
Aurora10 08-26-2005, 06:44 PM CAN I COME WITH YOU?!?! Woah...sorry, got a wee bit excited. lol I'm actually gonna see it again this weekend. YAY!
lostfan88 08-27-2005, 12:38 PM :crybaby: I have to wait until next weekend now because something sudden came up for my friend. dang it!
Aurora10 08-27-2005, 08:54 PM Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Meet me at my house and we'll go see it tonight!!! I'm leaving in an hour. WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
lostfan88 08-28-2005, 11:36 AM :lol: guess I was too late...
Aurora10 08-29-2005, 04:55 PM Awwww, next time, next time. lol When I got back from the movie, I was so bloody hyper that I had to run around my house a few times. lmao The audience reactions were awesome!!! There was so much gasping and even screaming!!! I'm so glad everyone was really into it. 'Tis a great movie. I'm actually asking people in my classes to go see it. lol
lostfan88 08-29-2005, 07:00 PM :lol: screaming!
We're seeing it on Sunday now. YAY
Aurora10 08-29-2005, 07:09 PM SWEEEET! Since I know ahead of time, I'm going with you. lol j/k
Yep....screaming.
lostfan88 08-29-2005, 07:30 PM I love seeing people's reactions in movies.
Now I'm really excited... again. :D
BurningStar4 08-29-2005, 10:00 PM LOL! Aurora your avatar is hilarious!
Aurora10 08-29-2005, 10:28 PM Mua-ha-ha! Instead of doing homework, I make that pic. lol
Shrooms 09-03-2005, 01:37 PM It looks rather amusing to me.
Wasn't that guy in Batman Begins?
I think he's damn smexeh.
:Gets sudden sugar rush:
Superman 09-03-2005, 01:44 PM yeah, Cillian Murphy also played Dr.Crane/The Scarecrow in Batman Begins... he was a very good villian in both of these movies... mentioned it in the movies thread, but i just saw Red Eye today, and it was bloody awesome... one of the best suspense thrillers i've seen in quite a long time... Cillian and Rachel McAdams were fantastic
Shrooms 09-03-2005, 01:50 PM -sigh-
He's a great actor, not far /behind/ -wink- Dom. He's also Hot in my book, most likly not in a lot of others. But still... -sigh-
lostfan88 09-04-2005, 10:27 PM So I finally saw Red Eye this weekend -- it was very good. I'd see it again. :) I definitely didn't scream or jump (thanks goodness) but it was still very suspenseful. Cillian Murphy is a great bad guy. :D
Eireann 09-05-2005, 10:11 PM I have to go against most of yous and say I didnt enjoy this film! As I work in a movie theatre, I guess I am really critical and stuff, as I try and be as open and honest with customers and I possible can be. Now, I couldnt wait for this release. I love both Murphy and McAdams, and I adore thrillers, but I just didnt enjoy this one.
Please dont kill me!
Aurora10 09-05-2005, 10:53 PM *passes over Eireann's post* lmao (I do love your avie!)
YAY YAY YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm PROUD of you Adrian!!! lol lostfan....wasn't it teh best?!?! WOOOOO!!!!!! Is it weird that I get excited when other people see RE?
BurningStar4 09-06-2005, 01:38 AM I have to go against most of yous and say I didnt enjoy this film! As I work in a movie theatre, I guess I am really critical and stuff, as I try and be as open and honest with customers and I possible can be. Now, I couldnt wait for this release. I love both Murphy and McAdams, and I adore thrillers, but I just didnt enjoy this one.
Please dont kill me!
It's cool, we all can't like the same things. I'm very critical of movies as well, but I have to say this was a fun popcorn flick for me.
Lucky 09-09-2005, 09:23 PM This movie wasn't scary like I was lead to believe. I really liked it though. The scene at the beginning where RMc was reacting to the takeoff...that is so totally me. I don't mind flying, but I hate the takeoff.
Aurora10 09-10-2005, 02:47 AM I just wish I had someone like Jackson sitting next to me. Shyeah, he's bloody evil but I love it. lmao I'm glad you liked it! WHEEEE!
I'm going to see it toa\day actually, and I can't wait...
I'm so glad this thread wasn't all full of spoilers.... I just couldn't stay away from it...
Now at least I know a bit about what I'm going to see, without knowing exactly what it is...
I'll be back later and post my review...
lostfan88 09-11-2005, 11:02 AM I saw it with my sister yesterday adn this time some people screamed. Kinda mean, but I laughed. :lol: I thought it was funny... *shrugs*
Aurora10 09-11-2005, 01:51 PM I think it's hilarious when people scream! The second I saw it, the whole freakin theater did. I LOOOOOOVE to see and hear everyone's reactions. Myha, have fun!!!!!!!!!
lostfan88 09-11-2005, 02:45 PM I like to see people's reactions too.
Seeing it a second time was just as good as the first time. :)
Aurora10 09-19-2005, 09:42 PM The second time was more fun for me because of the audience....even though they cheered when Jackson got stabbed and stuff. :( Today, I got my hair cut and I was talking to my stylist about RE. He said it was awesome and that he too was glad Jackson was stabbed. Noooooooo!!! lol
lostfan88 09-19-2005, 10:09 PM :lol: Jackson was mean, but I still felt bad for him.
I've become addicted to the romance fan fics for Red Eye. :blush: I think they're cute together even if they tried to kill one another.
liz_lost_fan 09-19-2005, 10:10 PM I saw Red Eye, and I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
Cillian Murphey is suck a hottie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aurora10 09-19-2005, 10:13 PM YAY!!!!!!! *does Red Eye dance* I'm glad you saw it!
lostfan, I've been reading one, too.....well, it's not really a romance fan fic. It does have tension. The author is awesome.
